With the exposure of the new survivor "Crying Clown", the second character of the new character system in The Fifth Personality appears. What is the new character system? In layman's terms, it is the personality exchange between the survivor and the regulator.
For example, the system's first survivor, "Novelist", Orpheus, provided for the demons in the subconscious under the influence of the potion, and eventually incarnated as the "Nightmare" of the Regulator. This is the transformation of the personality of the survivor derived from the personality of the guardian. The appearance of "Crying Clown" Joker adopts an inverted way, transforming the personality of a regulator into a survivor.
In 2016, psychology released a new term "Big Five Personality", which includes: openness, responsibility, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism or emotional stability, a total of five personality traits. The origin of the name fifth personality refers to the "neurotic or emotional stability" in the personality.
Back in the game again, the four qualities of openness, responsibility, extraversion and pleasantness in the five personalities also correspond to the diversionary, deciphering, rescue and auxiliary roles in the game, which seem to be more optimistic and cheerful, positive characteristics, and also correspond to the setting of four people in the game supporting each other and working together to escape from the manor. The concept of the "fifth personality" corresponds to the negative characteristics such as the rage displayed by the regulator.
The protagonist of the game, the detective, through the diary left by the owner of the manor, constantly deduces the truth of the story, which is itself a patient who is prone to schizophrenia due to excessive use of drugs. Everything that happens in the manor is based on the fantasy of the detective, and there is a high probability that there is no regulator in the manor, which is a hallucination caused by drugs, which triggers the fear in the heart of the survivor to do evil.
In the game's character story setting, most of the survivors are very dark-hearted, while the regulators are more like the innocent and hurt party. Human nature itself has a distinction between good and evil, like the front and back of the coin, like Sun Wukong and the six-eared macaque, such as the Buddha and the lawless. Becoming a demon and becoming a Buddha are just a thought, and "The Fifth Personality" is the concrete manifestation of the dark side of the other four personalities.
The follow-up fifth personality will introduce more "character system" characters, and each regulator will have a corresponding survivor personality to restore the complete story of the character. Guess who the next protagonist will be?
