[UA] Cannibal Avatar?

[Nick Wedig]

>Have people -ever- embodied the Trickster?  

Read "Surely you're Joking, Mr. Feynman".  Nobel prize winner sets himself up as a trickster, by any reading.  Other avatars might not be as obvious (various conmen, perhaps Joey Skaggs) but are out there somewhere.


.but I'm not sure any of these people
>really had ritual intent...

I don't think ritual intent is a necessary condition for avatarhood, or even ana dvantage if you are an avatar.  A fool with some ulterior motive is no fool, so ritual intent could actually harm his bid at godwalker.


>  I say NO NEW ARCHETYPES THAT DON'T CONTAIN A COOL TWIST!

Some archetypes must be basic and familiar by their very nature.  Especially older ones, very normal basic things like The Mother or The Warrior (War).   These would be so ingrained into our psyches that for them to have a cool twist would force them away from their actual legitimate role as a psychological aspect of humanity.

archetype that doesn't contain a cool twist
