1

a depressed

Resolve: {cop|detective}

Resolve: {was wrongfully|has been} imprisoned

I fell in love with the wrong person. They dragged me into an exciting world I never knew existed, and I freaked out. I left them.

fills me with regret. I didn’t comport myself with any dignity or honesty. I thought I was better than that

it never ended, I just move forward and try to put the past behind me. But when I look back, it’s right there, chugging along

profession

speech and accent

you witness someone abusing their power

hatred, as if they want to destroy me for even existing.

2

a surly

Resolve: {social worker|activist}

was disgraced and cast out

My best friend accused me of a crime I know I didn’t commit, but they somehow had photos proving otherwise!

ignites simmering rage: They know what they did, and they did it knowing what would happen

the responsible parties died before they could be confronted about their part in it

regional background

clothing and personal style

someone doesn't treat you with the respect you feel you deserve

disgust, like I just caught a whiff of sour milk.

3

a straightforward

Resolve: {doctor|nurse|EMT}

has been seriously injured

... so there I was, in a literal warzone, bullets flying all around me. If it weren’t for this dangerous psychopath I'd somehow befriended, I’d be a corpse.

... it's still baffling to me, a miasma of confusion. I can’t square this circle. Nothing about this makes any sense and the more I think about it the worse it is

things keep repeating, the same situations keep appearing in my periphery and reopening old wounds

social class

hobbies and interests

you see or experience violence

rage, like they just cut me off and are now laughing about it.

4

a timid

Resolve: {banker|money launderer}

is a failure at life

My parents were deranged on some basal level. I grew up in chaos. I escaped as soon as I could.

empowers me, makes me feel confident. I was there for the whole thing and it didn’t beat me; now it feels like nothing can stand in my way

some problems are too big, systemic things that won’t budge to one person’s will

upbringing

critical opinions

you witness the degradation of others

suspicion and distrust. It makes me think someone is trying to deceive me.

5

a clever

Resolve: {office worker|academic}

is hiding from someone

Somehow, through no fault of my own, I ended up with all this money and status. And now? I don’t know what happened to it all.

... well, it’s funny when you think about it, isn't it? We’re all just stuck here on this planet and absurd things just keep on happening

forgiveness is earned, and the person or people responsible haven’t earned it

political ideology

taste in Resolve: {art|music}

you witness a death, or are faced with the possibility of your own demise

admiration. One day I'll do what they did!

6

a bold

Resolve: {soldier|rebel}

has been stepping on the wrong toes

Someone once took me out to some isolated place and showed me something... something you wouldn't believe even if I could explain it. It gives me weird dreams to this day.

still leaves me numb with disbelief. Did that really happen? It can’t have happened. It doesn’t feel real

I can’t put it right, because what is done is done

attitude towards authority

positive opinions

someone shares words of wisdom with you

bravery, like I'm ready to face a schoolyard bully.

7

an inquisitive

Resolve: {artist|musician|performer}

is pushing the envelope

It was obvious from an early age that I had real talent. Everyone told me I'd be famous and successful... and, yet, here I am.

honestly gives me a feeling of renewed purpose. Odd as it may sound, everything lined up for me in the end. I know what I have to do with my life now

the system stepped in, the state or someone with the authority to take it all out of my hands

religious beliefs

nervous behavior

you encounter true beauty

amazement. Someone has to see this thing!

8

a circumspect

Resolve: {con-artist|politician}

is a rising star

I took a job having zero experience that no one thought I could do. After a few years, I quit and didn’t look back. I can’t say why.

makes me feel weak and hopeless. Nothing matters, and the more I look at it the more I feel like the universe is a great, cosmic wave crashing down on us and there's nothing at all we can do about it

I don’t understand how it happened, and because I don’t understand it I can’t resolve it

family status

indulgent vices

you are challenged intellectually

simple acceptance. All of this is according to design.

9

an outgoing

Resolve: {hacker|information warfare specialist}

is both respected and admired

Someone very close to me died under mysterious circumstances. No one will tell me what happened; the people in my life still refuse to talk about it.

... I mean, I can't sleep. I'm always on my guard. This could happen at any moment to anyone. I have to keep my head on a swivel for the next time

everything returned to normal on the outside, and just underneath that veneer of normalcy it sits

sexual preference

outward ambitions

you are treated with deference or respect

attraction. If I can just get a little bit closer...

10

an optimistic

Resolve: {stick-up kid|armed robber}

is at the height of their field

Work. Sleep. Work. Sleep. Forever. One day I just had enough --- middle of the day, I just exploded in a rage. I left that life behind, and I try not to talk about it.

gives me an overwhelming sense of... of oneness. Have you ever laid in the grass and felt the Earth spinning around you? That's how I feel whenever I think about it

other things took priority, but there it is, still in the back of my head

gender identity

confident behavior

you see justice being delivered without mercy

zeal. I'm reminded of what is good in the world.
