The idea has come up before, and I don't remember if any conclusions were
reached. (Though, on an internet mailing list, how could conclusions be
avoided?)  From a strictly gamish perspective, the problem is that you
can't challen without another person, which throws the archetype out of
balance with all the others.

Are the individuals of "a couple in love" really that different?  Or are
they each following exactly the same behavior-set?  It could add a tragic
end when two avatars of The Lover try to be Godwalker and only one
ascends...

Living with a toddler?  Well, I guess it's not that much different from any
other room mate who thinks that squatting naked on the kitchen floor eating
pretzel sticks is a good way to start the morning.

Oh wait.  It is different.
