This division seems useful for me, though I only developed it today so I’m not sure of the long-term usefulness. (I have lots of subagents!)
The Accomplisher / The Scientist—Wants to seriously Get Things Done for the sake of the feeling of accomplishment that follows. Also wants to learn new skills, both for their own sake and to understand the world better. One of the driving forces that gets me to work on various self-help schemes, like this one.
The Bon Vivant—Wants to enjoy various pleasures, from computer games to good books to role-playing.
The Artist—Wants to create great art (stories, computer games) for their own sake, and for the pleasure of being immersed in another world that the act of creating them brings with it.
The Visionary—Part Bon Vivant and part Artist, frequently found in the company of both. Likes to dream up vast, unrealistically beautiful visions of utopias and worlds, and laments not being able to actually live in them.
The Prestige-Seeker—Wants appreciation, glory and everlasting fame. Often spends so much time and energy talking and planning how the Artist’s works will make them all famous that the Artist gets all stressed out and doesn’t actually get anything done.
The Communicator—Wants to take the knowledge accumulated so far and spread it to other people, so that as many as possible could learn and benefit from the information.
The Fuzzy Altruist—Wants to make people’s lives better in a personal way, like talking to them about their problems and being able to directly see the effects of that help.
The Lover—Wants to build deep, lasting relationships (whether romantical or not) with people. Seeks soul-bonds of the sort where two people can be completely honest and open with each other, with no need for secrets of any kind. Would want to always have at least one soul-bonded person near.
The Attention Seeker—Wants attention, particularly from friends and loved ones, enjoying things like saying silly but cute stuff and dressing up. Also wants to have lots of physical closeness.
The Nurturer—Wants to act in a parent/big brother/kind uncle role for kids, teaching them various kinds of things they’ll find useful in the world and be an extra source of comfort if they need one.
The Strategic Altruist—Wants to make people’s lives better in a way that actually maximizes the amount of good done per dollar (or hour, or whatever). Frequently rather dominant.
The Knight—Believes in a personal, somewhat vaguely defined code of honor involving truthfulness, reliability and integrity, and wants to uphold that by whatever the means.
The Baby—Wants to just be spoiled and pampered and be taken care of by someone else without needing to worry about anything.
The Playboy—Wants sex, lots of it. Also wants to look sexy and appealing.
The Sadist—Wants to enjoy the feeling of control over people, unhindered by moral considerations. (Well, for as long as the people in question actually enjoy being dominated or are only imaginary, that is.)
The Submissive—Wants to enjoy the feeling of being controlled by someone else, possibly one who doesn’t hesitate to cause some pain. (Though not too much.)
