The sixteen archetypes
Sixteen ways a man can stand.
Your archetype comes from your strongest and weakest areas of life. It is a starting point, not a verdict.
Fortis sed inquietus
The Unquiet Warrior
Strong in body and mind, but restless inside, and hard to settle.

Rooted and strong, standing alone in a field where no one can reach him.

Sharpened and ready, but not yet pointed at anything.
Vigil in silentio

Calm and clean inside, but running on a body and mind that are tired.

At peace in his own room, and slowly closing the door to everyone else.

Wise and settled inside, still waiting for the right moment to move.

Warm and open with others, and still unsettled when he is alone.

Steady on every side, and ready to build higher than he has so far.

A man others lean on, because no single storm tips him over.
