The following is a list of character archetypes for the campaign.  Each will provide a certain payload of skills and merits above and beyond those available during character creation and will also contribute greatly to your character’s place in the world.  Each player will select a primary and a secondary archetype, where primary provides a greater level of proficiency than secondary.  You may select the same archetype as both primary and secondary and will receive a small bonus for doing so, but the character will suffer issues of diversity.
