The Drive of Achievement
Fiery types are natural leaders driven by influence, status, and earning respect. They thrive when trusted and admired, and love to push and challenge people to achieve greatness.
Characterized by intensity, confidence, and relentless drive toward progress and impact. They take charge and make things happen.
When regenerated, they are unstoppable visionaries who inspire others. When drained by bureaucracy, inaction, or lack of trust, they can become domineering or burned out.
When Fiery types enter shadow, their drive becomes destructive. They may push themselves and others past healthy limits, confusing burnout with dedication. Their confidence can curdle into arrogance, and their leadership may become dominance. Success becomes the only acceptable outcome, making failure feel existential.
