[UA] Help with a new archetype: The Lovers

[Hammons, Jade]

Hmmm...   I would be tempted to create a new paranormal category for
this.

Synergistic Effects:

The interaction of two or more avatars in an archetypal relationship.
(Not unlike Comedia Del'art)

It's not the lovers (plural) archetype it's the interaction of 2 lover
avatars. Which is to say they could still have the same channels, but
base it on a Synergy: Lover/Lover skill. The synergy skill would be
limited somehow by the partners own avatar skills, though if it should
be their own, their partners, or the lowest avatar skill of the two I
don't know. 

Many relationships would form these types of synergistic archetypes.
Lover/Lover, Lover/Lover/Lover, Mother/Father, etc.

Some might even spontaneously generate, forming a mythology all it's own
as it does so. Such is the nature of the invisible clergy. it would in
effect be an avatar bond.

Sherlock Holmes/Moriarty, Romeo/Juliet, Woodward/Bernstein/Deep Throat,
anyone that is as strongly associated with an avatar, as they are with
another person also an avatar. If Dirk Allen channels the chronicler, or
something similar, no doubt some odd synergy has formed with the Freak's
Mystic Hermaphrodite.

Not that the Lovers is a bad idea, I just think it is a window into an
entirely new room, not just a snapshot in an already established one.

Quick clarification so I don't appear to be a complete idiot:

>Well avatars are all about behaviors, not attitudes, right?

. . .

>Any feelings of jealously on either side, for any reason (even if 
>unfounded) would be taboo.

Um, I meant to say, any expression of jealousy (direct or indirect) to
the 
partner might be taboo.
