Your Desire

Edit Page Content

A PC’s desire is the broadly stated, strong motivation driving his actions during dramatic scenes. The desire moves him to pursue an inner, emotional goal, which can only be achieved by engaging with other members of the main cast, and, to a lesser degree, with recurring characters run by the GM. Your desire might be seen as your character’s weakness: it makes him vulnerable to others, placing his happiness in their hands. Because this is a dramatic story, conflict with these central characters prevents him from easily or permanently satisfying his desire. Think of the desire as an emotional reward your character seeks from others. The most powerful choices are generally the simplest:

  • approval 
  • acceptance
  • forgiveness
  • respect
  • love
  • subservience
  • reassurance
  • power
  • to punish
  • to be punished
