STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
[ - ] Strengths
- Efficient – Arne see’s inefficiency not just as a problem in its own right, but as something that pulls time and energy away from all his future goals, an elaborate sabotage consisting of irrationality and laziness. Arne will root out such behavior wherever they go.
- Energetic – Rather than finding this process taxing Arne is energized by it, genuinely enjoying leading his men forward as they implement his plans and goals.
- Self-Confident – Arne couldn’t do this if he was plagued by self-doubt – he trusts his abilities, make known his opinions, and believes in his capacities as a leader.
- Strong-Willed – Nor does he give up when the going gets tough – Arne strives to achieve his goals, but really nothing is quite as satisfying to him as rising to the challenge of each obstacle in his run to the finish line.
- Strategic Thinkers – Arne exemplifies the difference between moment-to-moment crisis management and navigating the challenges and steps of a bigger plan, and is known for examining every angle of a problem and not just resolving momentary issues, but moving the whole project forward with his solutions.
- Charismatic and Inspiring – These qualities combine in Arne, who is able to inspire and invigorate others, who people actually want to be their leader, and this in turn helps Arne to accomplish his often ambitious goals that could never be finished alone.
- Stubborn and Dominant – Sometimes all this confidence and willpower can go too far, and Arne is all too capable of digging in his heels, trying to win every single debate and pushing his vision, and his alone.
- Intolerant – “It’s my way or the highway” – Arne is notoriously unsupportive of any idea that distracts from his primary goals, and even more so of ideas based on emotional considerations. Arne won’t hesitate a second to make that fact clear to those around him.
- Impatient – Some people need more time to think than others, an intolerable delay to the quick-thinking Arne. He may misinterpret contemplation as stupidity or disinterest in his haste, a terrible mistake for him to make.
- Arrogant – Arne respects quick thoughts and firm convictions, his own qualities, and look down on those who don’t match up. This relationship is a challenge for most other people who are perhaps not timid in their own right, but will seem so beside overbearing Arne.
- Poor Handling of Emotions – All this bluster, alongside the assumed supremacy of rationalism, makes Arne distant from his own emotional expression and sometimes downright scornful of others’. Arne often tramples others’ feelings, inadvertently hurting his partners and friends, especially in emotionally charged situations.
- Cold and Ruthless – His obsession with efficiency and unwavering belief in the merits of rationalism, especially professionally, makes Arne incredibly insensitive in pursuing his goals, dismissing personal circumstances, sensitivities, and preferences as irrational and irrelevant.
Arne is a natural-born leader. Arne is one of a few that can combine the gifts of charisma and confidence, and project authority in a way that draws crowds together behind a common goal. However, Arne is also characterized by an often ruthless level of rationality, using his drive, determination and sharp mind to achieve whatever end he’s set for himself. Perhaps it is best that he is kept ‘in-check’, per say, by a significant other who knows how to pull his strings lest he push himself and everyone around him too far that disaster occurs.
If there’s anything Arne’s loves, it’s a good challenge, big or small, and he firmly believes that given enough time and resources, he can achieve any goal. This quality makes Arne a brilliant commander and his ability to think strategically and hold a long-term focus while executing each step of his plans with determination and precision makes him a powerful Jarl. This determination is often a self-fulfilling prophecy, as Arne pushes his goals through with sheer willpower where others might give up and move on, and his more extroverted nature means he is likely to push everyone else right along with him, achieving spectacular results in the process.
If there’s anyone Arne respects, it’s someone who is able to stand up to him intellectually, who is able to act with a precision and quality equal to his own. Arne has a particular skill in recognizing the talents of others, and this helps in both his team-building efforts (since no one, no matter how brilliant, can do everything alone), and to keep Arne from displaying too much arrogance and condescension. However, he also has a particular skill in calling out others’ failures with a chilling degree of insensitivity, and this is where Arne really starts to run into trouble. This is also where the counterbalance of a better half is ever important.
