[color=lightgray]In order to try and reward players for acting in a consistent manner with their character I'll be using a scoring system which will allow players to pull off mind-bendingly powerful actions as long as they fit with their character's personality. The way this is managed is through the Motivations point system, with players being granted points for acting in certain ways, while losing points in opposing traits at the same time.

The five personality types are:[list][*][color=royalblue]Blue[/color][indent]Represents wisdom, enlightenment, and mysticism. The type of people whose goal is to expand the mind and the spirit, or gain knowledge. Opposed to [color=red]Red[/color] and [color=silver]Silver[/color].[/indent]
[*][color=red]Red[/color][indent]Represents passion, emotion, action, and zeal. The type of people whose goal is to live in the moment, to experience life to its fullest, or to follow their heart wherever it leads them. Opposed to [color=royalblue]Blue[/color] and [color=limegreen]Green[/color].[/indent]
[*][color=yellow]Yellow[/color][indent]Represents justice, compromise, and the greater good. The type of people who view life's difficulties from a broad, communal perspective rather than an individual one. Opposed to [color=limegreen]Green[/color] and [color=silver]Silver[/color].[/indent]
[*][color=limegreen]Green[/color][indent]Represents charity, sacrifice, and empathy. The Tide of people whose primary goal is to help others, especially at a cost to themselves. Opposed to [color=red]Red[/color] and [color=yellow]Yellow[/color].[/indent]
[*][color=silver]Silver[/color][indent]Represents admiration of power and seekers of fame. The Tide of people who seek to influence the lives of others or who actively seek to be remembered. Opposed to [color=royalblue]Blue[/color] and [color=yellow]Yellow[/color].[/indent][/list][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/WHOLbEQ.png[/img]
[sub]Comparison chart for personality paths. Colours opposite one another on the chart are opposed,
while those beside each other compliment one another.[/sub][/center]
Each time a player makes a post which phrases an action or piece of speech by their character in a manner representing one of these types they will receive one point for that personality type colour, but will lose a point in both of the opposed colours at the same time.

Points will not usually be awarded for multiple posts made by the same character in quick succession, with these events being counted as a single prolonged scene rather than separate ones. An exception may be made to this rule if sufficient time has passed since the last post, or if a significant change in the course of events has occurred for the character between posts.

Once collected these points can be used either by spending one to overcome an obstacle or difficulty faced by the character, such as running out of fuel or ammunition, or to dodge an incoming attack from an enemy, or they can be used by spending five points at once to pull off some sort of impossible feat associated with the personality colour of the points being spent.

Hopefully this will mean that players who nmake the effort to keep their character acting in a similar manner consistently will be rewarded for these efforts by having a character who can survive harsh conditions better and who can perform more skilfully in event the toughest situations, without everyone making their characters into immortal super soldiers right off the bat.[/color]
