Character Development Workspace: TRUE BLUE

True Blue is exhilarated by high expectations. Motivated by profit, power. Rigid, American right or wrong (but always right). Makes decisions quickly and completely. Stable, predictable, reliable, traditional. Owns property, keeps others away from that property,. Loves the reality of the Armed Forces (in part because they are well-organized and clear in their intentions), and the version seen in the movies, too--the whole idea of a well-organized force of people who take action is extremely appealing to True Blue. Much as he loves his own country, True Blue does not possess a crystal-clear understanding of life in other countries (except those True Blue visited while in the service). True Blue’s heart carries a soft secret: family members who he adores, but run contrary to his view of life and the way the world works.

Potential Areas of Conflict

Impatience, especially with those who don't follow the rules, or don't follow through on their promises, or ignore the details. May be reluctant to embrace new or divergent ideas. Focus on the present, may miss bigger picture or future implications. May roll over people who don't agree with his/her assessment. May embrace action too quickly--being in motion, doing something is better than sitting around thinking or talking. May be insensitive about the social or personal impact of decisions. Interrupts--cannot sit still and listen to opposing ideas.
