Correct, my friend, it is intentional. I'm still open to adjusting the system, but I need to get into it more. I actually felt Loner and Rebel were two of the most opposed to each other. But that's just using the characteristics I laid out for them. If MC is a loner, they'll still be able to do rebellious things, if that helps.
I can't really see loner and rebel as being opposed, at all, in fact a lot of them tend to be the same people,? Unfortunately, it's one of those things that seems abundantly self evident to me so i'm not really good at explaining it but alot of people who dislike authoritys tend towards disliking people broadly, often as a result of people broadly liking authorities, for some reason.
But that's just my take on the concept.
