FAQ

👉 Tempified builds every character from a core blend of two temperaments, revealing deep psychological needs and internal conflicts. This instantly creates layered personalities with contradictions, emotional logic, and unique drives—far beyond surface tropes.

👉 Each villain is a distorted reflection of a hero’s temperament—same needs, twisted desires. This mirroring reveals why they act, making them feel inevitable, dangerous, and disturbingly human.

👉 Tempified doesn't invent conflict—it exposes it. When characters’ needs clash temperamentally (e.g. ❤️ needs connection vs ⚔️ needs control), tension arises naturally from who they are, not what the plot demands.

👉 Characters evolve as their core needs collide with hidden ones. Tempified charts these internal shifts precisely, making their change emotionally earned and deeply satisfying.

👉 Worlds in Tempified aren't backdrops—they’re psychological ecosystems. Each setting archetype reflects the characters' internal structure, tying theme, tone, and emotional stakes together.

👉 By aligning temperament with fantasy fulfillment, Tempified ensures that every player choice taps into primal needs—freedom, stability, mastery, belonging—making the game feel personally felt, not just played.

👉 Tempified archetypes translate directly into mechanics: fear loops, control systems, connection meters. Story and system speak the same emotional language.

👉 Tempified is medium-agnostic. Its structure is psychological, not format-bound—so characters and arcs remain consistent whether in novels, scripts, or games.

👉 Visual tools like the Character Deck and Archetype Wheel provide instant structure. With needs, arcs, and conflicts pre-aligned, creators build faster, with more clarity and less second-guessing.

👉 Every temperament combo creates endless variations. You’re never locked in—you’re guided. The structure fuels originality instead of flattening it.

👉 Temperament drives speech patterns. A ⚔️ cuts, a ❤️ soothes, a ☀️ riffs, a 🏡 measures. The result? Voice that’s dynamic, true to psychology, and emotionally charged.

👉 When needs conflict or complement (e.g. ❤️ seeks intimacy, 🏡 needs control), relationships ignite. Tempified maps these tensions, so every bond feels earned and alive.

👉 Matching character temperaments with world archetypes ensures tone and theme remain coherent—from mood to message.

👉 Tempified works with universal emotional needs—belonging, purpose, freedom, love—so stories land across cultures, age groups, and experiences.

👉 Every world archetype has a villainous shadow. This dual structure lets you explore both ideals and their collapse, thematically and emotionally.

👉 Clear temperament-based needs reveal why characters act. Even morally grey choices feel understandable—even inevitable.

👉 Stuck? Draw a temperament pair. Instant tension, conflict, need, and arc. It’s like lighting a match in a dark room—direction appears.

👉 With just one temperament and a surface need, side characters gain flavor, function, and emotional relevance without bloat.

👉 When world and characters are built on reactive needs, choices naturally ripple. You don’t code reactions—you bake them in.

👉 Tempified is rooted in psychology, not trends. That means your ideas stay fresh, but they hit emotional truths your audience already feels.
