SO8: Complicity The search is for complicit friendships that support and sustain each other on the same principles, often unconventional, even marginalized. Friendships which ask for a total loyalty, through which this bond is legitimized. These bonds are stereotypical mafia bonds, where belonging is what makes you legitimate, and they demand any type of sacrifice and betrayal is punished with death. It is established like a blood pact, a friendship of a complicit and unconditional warmth, at the margin of whatever other social or moral principles. This orientation toward friendship gives them a more human, social, and seductive tint than in the other subtypes; these are fun people, with a great power to captivate. When lust meets the social instinct, it manifests as passionate and possessive nature of bonds with others, attempting to keep those they consider weaker happy. However, this isn't a necessarily sweet character, the SO8 often feels as if it's tasked to be the protector of the weak, they also idealize the idea of trust and friendship and once that bond is broken they might not ever forgive and turn to aggression. They are often compared to a person standing up to a higher force to protect those below. Some SO8s can also get lost in this idea of revenge that they forget that those who they are protecting are, in fact, people, and because of that can end up using those "below" as justification for their outbursts. They are also hypocritical in a sense that while they claim to go against conflict, they can produce more of it. In short, this subtype sees themselves as a protector or a buddy, using that as justification for their actions.
