[UA] Creating a Moral Dilemma

[Greg Stolze]

Off the top of my head...

>PC #1: a fairly reclusive, though internet active, woman who is also a
>compulsive hoarder. Very loyal to friends.
>
>Obsession: To have a full life (interpreted usually in a materialistic
>manner, though this is pretty subjective)
>
>Passions:
>Noble: Befriending the lonely
>Fear: Irrevocably losing something (helplessness)
>Rage: Threatening harm to her family or friends (not actually harming
>her family or friends, or threatening her)

Well, Rage vs. Obsession = some circumstance where her life-choices could
endanger her loved ones.  "I'ma live large like a gangsta!  Wait, no, I'm
going to, in fact, BECOME a gangster!"

On a similar note, Rage vs. Noble = aiding some waif who MIGHT be
dangerous, psycho or hunted.  NB that helping the soldier could put her
family at risk from his pursuing enemies.

>PC #2: recently discharged from the military under Mysterious
>Circumstances (tm), rabidly inquisitive, doesn't really know anyone
>other than PC #1 after his discharge.
>
>Obsession: To find out why (any question of motive or cause fascinates
>him, particularly concerning his expulsion from the military)
>
>Noble: To stop the abuse of others
>Rage: Keeping pertinent information from me
>Fear: Abandonment (Ioslation)

Rage vs. Fear = "If you keep pursuing this, I'll leave you."  (Or, "I'll
kick you out."  Sounds like this is fait accompli, though.)

Noble vs. Obsession + Rage = "Oh, the release of the hostages can be
arranged... as long as you promise to never inquire about Project Redact
again.  You're a man of your word, right?"
