Hello, I'm currently working on writing a character and wondering if there is any characters who share similarities I can look at for development or inspiration. It can be from any sort of media(books,anime,shows,film etc). All help or recommendations are appreciated. He is the man character and hero of the story as-well but I tried also make him have realistic flaws as-well. Also some of his behaviors may link to OCD and Anxiety.

Core Motives/Fears:

His core motivation in life is to be a person of strong noble character and to inspire goodness through principles and kindness. He wants to create a significant impact and do something that matters.He wants to do what is right and beneficial for both himself and others. His main fear is the belief that he may be, or become, fundamentally "bad"—meaning evil, immoral, incompetent,lacking or defective.Growing up, he strived to be as virtuous as possible, wanting to improve himself and the world. He believed he couldn't afford to make mistakes and that it was unacceptable to do so—especially moral ones. This created a deep need for a sense of control and a desire to avoid being judged as flawed. Consequently, this pressure leads to relentless self-criticism, anger, guilt, and shame.

Coping Mechanisms/Structures: Inner Critic,Withdraws into Internal World,Introspection and Research,Reaction Formation,Compensation,Undoing and Justification.

He is always inside his head, thinking and self-monitoring. He notice his own thought processes, and then he think about those thoughts, trying to find the meaning and reasons behind them, both in the moment and from the past. He end up breaking things down into categorical thinking or concepts. It's like he is always in conflict with his own brain, constantly finding the 'why.' It's as if he can rewire his thinking, too; He will notice a thought He doesn't like, make sense of it, and then undo that negative thinking. He is also very aware of contradictory information and measure it up to ideal.

For example, He will see someone take an action and, based on past information, think they fit into a specific box. He is a very future-oriented person and big-picture focused, attempting to predict how events in his environment or the people around him will behave.

For example, if someone says something, He can imagine the events that will play out, and from there, He can think about what needs to be done and the actions he will need to take to prevent a problem or create a benefit. He also do this with how I imagine others perceive him—he tries to infer what they are thinking.

Morality:
The morals decision making is linked to his own internal morals,social norms and religious beliefs. His beliefs are mainly focused outwards and when he takes moral action his decisions are always making sure others are safe and good. He always feels a sense of obligation or thinks in "shoulds" all the time. I have a few examples on how his moral processing would be it works

For example: If someone around him says something he thinks is wrong or someone needs help and he would then think "I should try to guide them towards what's right or atleast say something" or "We shouldn't be acting like this". He feels the responsibility for making sure everything goes right or others do what's right hoping to benefit them.But sometimes he won't say anything cause I don't wanna come across as rude or self righteous but can feel guilty like he's both failed to act morally and failed others.

For example: He would see litter on the street and immediately think "I should clean that up,it harms the environment or someone could trip". It's things like this or "I need to make sure to hold the door everyone and make sure they are comfortable,be a gentleman and uphold the image of a role model".

Top 10 Strengths

High Moral Integrity: Driven by a deep, intrinsic desire to be a "good," noble person and do what is right.

Strong Sense of Responsibility: He is dependable, principled, and take ownership of your actions.

Driven By Altruism: He is driven by altruism and doing what's best for others and tries to inspire altruism and being a symbol for good.

High Empathy and Compassion: Despite a critical inner voice, he genuinely cares for others and wants to guide them toward their best selves and only will be critical of others to try to help them never to degrade them.

Conscientious: He hold himself to high standards and possess an eye for fixing what is wrong or inefficient.

Creative,Visionary and Imaginative: He has a rich internal world, often indulging in creative storytelling and forward-thinking, visionary ideas.

Controlled and Calm Demeanor: On the surface, he is composed and reserved , rarely lashing out, and maintain emotional control.

Future Oriented and Focus on The Big picture:He is always analyzing and predicting what will happen next or how actions impact the future.

Proactive Problem Solver: He possess a strong "I should fix that" mentality, taking initiative to improve situations.

Reflective and Self-Aware: He is capable of deep introspection, allowing him to recognize his own patterns, biases, and areas for growth.

Top 10 Flaws and Struggles
Relentless Self-Criticism: An inner voice that makes him feel "not good enough" and fixated on his own shortcomings and the environment for being less than ideal.

Repression of Emotions: A tendency to bottle up negative emotions, which can lead to internal pressure.

Guilt and Shame: High susceptibility to feeling inadequate, immoral, or defective, leading to emotional distress.

Perfectionism and Rigidity: The belief that he cannot afford to make mistakes, creating an inflexible standard.

Obsessive "Should" Mentality: He often live in a world of obligations rather than desires, creating unnecessary pressure .

Analysis Paralysis: Getting stuck in mental loops, overthinking motivations (e.g., questioning if he is helping for the right reasons or struggles with moral dilemmas).

Struggle with Self-Indulgence/Escapism: When at his worst, he can fall into laziness or get lost in fantasies to avoid reality about being a hero,famous or admired.

Perceived Moral Superiority: Despite good intentions, his urge to correct things can come across as preachy or self-righteous to others.

Struggle to Live in the Moment: Difficulty relaxing and enjoying the present because of a constant focus on future goals or past mistakes.

Feels Both Superior and Inferior: Can feel morally and intellectually superior to others at times but can also never feel good enough.

Development
His main development through the story is how he grows to accept not just the environment or others but more himself.He realizes he can be satisfied even if everything including himself isn't perfect or how he wants it to be.He finally finds a sense of balance and true happiness in acceptance.He finds a way to fully live his life while still being moral person and creating the change he wants to create.

It's as if he can rewire his thinking, too; He will notice a thought He doesn't like, make sense of it, and then undo that negative thinking. He is also very aware of contradictory information and measure it up to ideal.
For example, He will see someone take an action and, based on past information, think they fit into a specific box. He is a very future-oriented person and big-picture focused, attempting to predict how events in his environment or the people around him will behave. For example, if someone says something, He can imagine the events that will play out, and from there, He can think about what needs to be done and the actions he will need to take to prevent a problem or create a benefit. He also do this with how I imagine others perceive him—he tries to infer what they are thinking.

The morals decision making is linked to his own internal morals,social norms and religious beliefs. His beliefs are mainly focused outwards and when he takes moral action his decisions are always making sure others are safe and good. He always feels a sense of obligation or thinks in "shoulds" all the time. I have a few examples on how his moral processing would be it works
For example: If someone around him says something he thinks is wrong or someone needs help and he would then think "I should try to guide them towards what's right or atleast say something" or "We shouldn't be acting like this". He feels the responsibility for making sure everything goes right or others do what's right hoping to benefit them.But sometimes he won't say anything cause I don't wanna come across as rude or self righteous but can feel guilty like he's both failed to act morally and failed others. For example: He would see litter on the street and immediately think "I should clean that up,it harms the environment or someone could trip". It's things like this or "I need to make sure to hold the door everyone and make sure they are comfortable,be a gentleman and uphold the image of a role model".

Hello I'm currently working on developing a character and
was looking for certain characters and what his possible mbti/enneagram may be so I can draw some inspiration from characters with similar qualities(This can be from books,movies,shows,anime,comics etc).
If you notice any similarities or if this writing reminds you of anything and want to give some feedback I appreciate the help.
Thanks!

Core Motives:
His motivation in life is to be a person of strong noble character and to inspire goodness through principles and kindness. He wants to do what is right and beneficial for both himself and others.

His main fear is the belief that he may be, or become, fundamentally "bad"—meaning evil, immoral, incompetent,lacking or defective.Growing up, he strived to be as virtuous as possible, wanting to improve himself and the world. He believed he couldn't afford to make mistakes and that it was unacceptable to do so—especially moral ones. This created a deep need for a sense of control and a desire to avoid being judged as flawed. Consequently, this pressure leads to relentless self-criticism, anger, guilt, and shame.

Coping Mechanisms/Structures: Inner Critic,Withdraws into Internal World,Introspection and Research,Reaction Formation,Compensation,Undoing and Justification.

Thought Processes:
He is always inside his head, thinking and self-monitoring. He notice his own thought processes, and then he think about his active thoughts, trying to find the meaning and reasons behind them, both in the moment and from the past. He end up breaking things down into categorical thinking or concepts. It's like he is always in conflict with his own brain, constantly finding the 'why.'

I'm reposting this cause I needed to add a few things.
Last week I'm posted on here and got a lot of help my typology was
INFJ 1w2 (126) sp/so
But I was thinking So-dom but some say that contradicts INFJ.

Core Motive:
My core motivation in life is to be a person of strong noble character and to inspire goodness through principles and kindness. I want to do what is right and beneficial for both myself and others. I want to make a significant impact or do something that actually matters.My career interests are filmmaking,law,politics and philosophy.

Core Fear:
My main fear is the belief that I may be, or become, fundamentally "bad"—meaning evil, immoral, incompetent,lacking or defective.Growing up, I strived to be as virtuous as possible, wanting to improve myself and the world. I believed I couldn't afford to make mistakes and that it was unacceptable to do so—especially moral ones. This created a deep need for a sense of control and a desire to avoid being judged as flawed. Consequently, this pressure leads to relentless self-criticism, anger, guilt, and shame. I don't want to be exposed or seen for my flaws or my past mistakes either.

How I want to be Perceived:I want to be perceived in a way that will inspire others to be better. I know we all have flaws including myself but I hope I can be viewed as someone who can guide others to be more kind or a symbol for good.

Surface Level: I'm a pretty calm and collected guy on the surface. I've been told throughout my life I'm extremely quiet and chill.When I'm comfortable I can be very silly and enjoy joking around.While I'm pretty easy going when I need to call someone out I will if their doing something wrong.I make it clear with those I'm close with I have a high moral standards and know where to draw the line. I'm often told I'm very empathetic and compassionate. I often am the therapist for my groups.

Coping Mechanism:My coping mechanisms usually surround trying to keep my self image as good either as always being righteous and acting morally,Controlling my emotions and self monitoring,Avoiding situations I may fail.I also regularly escape into fantasy about being being more significant and achieving my goals either that being a hero,leader,famous or doing something great so I can feel better or good.

Ages 1-10 I don't remember everything about this time but from what my parents have told me I was a pretty normal and happy kid.I was both a quiet,organized and responsible who would follow the rules and look out for others while being able to be funny,imaginative,optimistic and adventurous.I was a big class clown growing up.I do remember feeling constantly criticized and that I was either wrong,bad,incompetent or lacking in some way compared to others and was sensitive to criticism.

Ages 11-13
Around this age, I began to develop a deep fear of being immoral, "bad," or corrupt. This was mainly due to intrusive thoughts that I hated, which made me fear I was a bad person. This led me to analyze my behavior closely, looking for contradictions. Everything always came back to whether I was "good," creating a drive to always do what is right. My parents told me I’ve had this trait since I was a toddler that I would weigh out options to find the best solution to make sure everything went correctly and things were in order like even my toys. Though I don’t remember it myself.

Ages 14–16
My motive remained centered on being moral and doing what is right. I became more aware of these urges, which often resulted in thoughts like, "I should help" or "I should do something." I constantly think in "should's" like I need fulfill a obligation and live up to my ideal of who I should be.This led to a lot of shame and guilt over my shortcomings, as well as anger when the world failed to meet my standards. I found my significance and worth through being a moral and noble person who could guide others. I put on a persona to be a role model for others through morality and being seen as a good heroic person but then when my friends told my that come across to self righteous and moralizing this really hurt cause I really thought I was helping and doing what was right.This made me realize I need to be more accepting and try to not always judge others.

Ages 17-18
This is when I discovered the Enneagram. I immediately recognized myself in Type 1 through its motives, desires, and fears. However, the more I looked into the system, the more I started to overthink it. When I first thought I was a Type 1, it made me feel validated—like I was a morally good person because I tried so hard and loved that I shared a type with fictional characters I like as-well. Being labeled the "moral/noble" type felt good, but that felt contradictory to the system's purpose. I did feel called out and embarrassed by traits in 4 and 6 I remember but I don't know if that's from disintegration or not.This led to an obsession with my identity and my type, causing me to question it on a loop which was probably influenced by age and OCD. For example: I might see someone who needs help and immediately think, "I should help them or fix their issue." But then my head immediately says, "You don’t actually want to help them; you just want to be a 'Type 1' who fixes things."This loop is exhausting because it makes me question if my actions are ever morally pure. Even though multiple people have called me a "textbook 1," I still feel the need to be 100% certain that I am right due to my OCD but I'm getting better with its just annoying that's it grabbed on to this

Core Fixation/Thoughts Processing:
I noticed I'm always trying to make sure nothing contradicts internally or externally of what is ideal.I'm often frustrated with myself when I can't get things right or figure it out.I'm always trying to make sense of things even myself or make sure my intentions aren't actually bad,insincere or cruel. It's very critical of everything trying to make everything is right and that it's completely certain and truthful as-well.

I am always inside my head, thinking and self-monitoring. I notice my own thought processes, and then I think about \*those\* thoughts, trying to find the meaning and reasons behind them, both in the moment and from the past. I end up breaking things down into categorical thinking or concepts. It feels like I am always in conflict with my own brain, constantly finding the 'why.' It's as if I can rewire my thinking, too; I will notice a thought I don't like, make sense of it, and then undo that negative thinking.

For example, if someone says something, I can imagine the events that will play out, and from there, I can think about what needs to be done and the actions I need to take to prevent a problem or create a benefit. I also do this with how I imagine others perceive me—I try to infer what they are thinking or how I can help them. If I'm talking to someone, I ensure everything I say won't annoy or upset them. I imagine what their reactions would be, which helps me word things correctly or guess what they will say or do next. I often use this for imagining what I’m going to do in the future or what steps I can take towards a goal. I often do this when I work out because I enjoy the mental stimulation, but sometimes it makes me a little too detached from reality in my own world of idealism.

I have a very big desire to be overall morally upright person and try to inspire goodness being role model.My morals decision making is linked to my internal morals,social norms and religious beliefs.My beliefs are mainly focused outwards and when I take moral action my decisions are always making sure others are safe and good. I always feel a sense of obligation or think in "should's" all the time. I have a few examples on how it works and the process of it.

For example: If someone around me says something I think is wrong or someone needs help and I then think "I should try to guide them towards what's right or atleast say something" or "We shouldn't be acting like this". I feel the responsibility for making sure everything goes right or others do what's right hoping to benefit them.But sometimes I don't say anything cause I don't wanna come across as rude or self righteous but can feel guilty like I both failed to act morally and failed others.

For example: I'll see litter on the street and immediately think "I should clean that up,it harms the environment or someone could trip". It's things like this or "I need to make sure to hold the door everyone and make sure they are comfortable,be a gentleman and uphold the image of a role model". This is the main processes of my mind and I tried my best but it was hard to explain for somethings so sorry if it wasn't very clear or the greatest examples. Overall My brain is always in conflict with itself is the only way I could put it.Its like i'm constantly both berating and defending myself or environment.

Overall my it's very influenced from OCD but it just very constantly critical and it's like nothing is never enough either that being myself,others,the world,attention and more.

Thanks so Much to anyone who helps. I'm doing better and have been improving myself.

Have a Great Day!

Hello I posted on here earlier but i'm trying to figure out my tritype and variant if you have a recommendations please comment.(I'm reposting this cause I'm adding a few things)I'm an either a INFJ or ENFJ and have OCD.

Thanks so much!

Core Motive/Desire :My core motivation in life is to be a person of strong noble character and to inspire goodness through principles and kindness. I want to do what is right and beneficial for both myself and others. I want to make a significant impact or do something that actually matters.I also want to have a peaceful mindset.

Core Fear:My main fear is the belief that I may be, or become, fundamentally "bad"—meaning evil, immoral, incompetent,lacking or defective.Growing up, I strived to be as virtuous as possible, wanting to improve myself and the world. I believed I couldn't afford to make mistakes and that it was unacceptable to do so—especially moral ones. I don't want to be judged or criticized so I often avoid situations I may make a mistake or get exposed as bad or a hypocrite.I can struggle with a lot of self criticism,guilt,anger,fear and shame when I fall short or for past mistakes.

Coping Mechanism:I try to maintain control both internally and externally by living up to my standards.I always make sure I make the right choice to avoid messing up and protect my self image as a good person. I often can escape into my imagination where I can feel more free or "good enough" and can feel admired or overall better.

How I want to be perceived:I want to be perceived as a role model or a noble person.I hope to inspire and be noticed for my goodness.I can feel guilty when I come across self righteous or pushy but I'm trying to fix this. I don't want to be perceived as weak,immoral or just overall bad.

When I first thought I was a Type 1, it made me feel validated—like I was a morally good person because I tried so hard and loved that I shared a type with fictional characters I like as-well. Being labeled the "moral/noble" type felt good, but that felt contradictory to the system's purpose. I did feel called out and embarrassed by traits in 4 and 6 I remember but I don't know if that's from disintegration or not.This led to an obsession with my identity and my type, causing me to question it on a loop which was probably influenced by age and OCD. For example: I might see someone who needs help and immediately think, "I should help them or fix their issue." But then my head immediately says, "You don’t actually want to help them; you just want to be a 'Type 1' who fixes things."This loop is exhausting because it makes me question if my actions are ever morally pure. Even though multiple people have called me a "textbook 1," I still feel the need to be 100% certain that I am right due to my OCD but I'm getting better with its just annoying that's it grabbed on to this

Surface Level

On the surface, I appear quite quiet and reserved. I am calm and controlled; I rarely lash out or get offended. If I recognize those emotions or thoughts inside me, I tend to repress them. Some people assume I am more serious than I actually am, but I really enjoy joking around.My close friends view me as silly and funny, but they also know I am responsible and principled. They understand that I know where to draw the line and will call others out if needed. They also see that I have a lot of empathy and compassion; I try my best to guide them toward what I believe is best for them.

Thanks to anyone who helps out!

Hello I posted on here earlier but i'm trying to figure out my tritype and variant if you have a recommendations please comment.(I'm reposting this cause I'm adding a few things)I'm a INFJ and have OCD.

Thanks so much!

Core Motive/Desire :My core motivation in life is to be a person of strong noble character and to inspire goodness through principles and kindness. I want to do what is right and beneficial for both myself and others. I want to make a significant impact or do something that actually matters.I also want to have a peaceful mindset.

Core Fear:My main fear is the belief that I may be, or become, fundamentally "bad"—meaning evil, immoral, incompetent,lacking or defective.Growing up, I strived to be as virtuous as possible, wanting to improve myself and the world. I believed I couldn't afford to make mistakes and that it was unacceptable to do so—especially moral ones. I don't want to be judged or criticized so I often avoid situations I may make a mistake or get exposed as bad or a hypocrite.I can struggle with a lot of self criticism,guilt,anger,fear and shame when I fall short or for past mistakes.

Coping Mechanism:I try to maintain control both internally and externally by living up to my standards.I always make sure I make the right choice to avoid messing up and protect my self image as a good person. I often can escape into my imagination where I can feel more free or "good enough" and can feel admired or overall better.

How I want to be perceived:I want to be perceived as a role model or a noble person.I hope to inspire and be noticed for my goodness.I can feel guilty when I come across self righteous or pushy but I'm trying to fix this. I don't want to be perceived as weak,immoral or just overall bad.

Core Fixation/Thoughts Processing:

I noticed I'm always trying to make sure nothing contradicts internally or externally of what is ideal.I'm often frustrated with myself when I can't get things right or figure it out.I'm always trying to make sense of things even myself or make sure my intentions aren't actually bad,insincere or cruel.

It's very critical of everything trying to make everything is right and that it's completely certain and truthful as-well.I always fall back into the loop of wanting better either that being myself,others,the world,attention or etc.It's like their is always a little error somewhere and I can just find it.

I am always inside my head, thinking and self-monitoring. I notice my own thought processes, and then I think about *those* thoughts, trying to find the meaning and reasons behind them, both in the moment and from the past. I end up breaking things down into categorical thinking or concepts. It feels like I am always in conflict with my own brain, constantly finding the 'why.' It's as if I can rewire my thinking, too; I will notice a thought I don't like, make sense of it, and then undo that negative thinking.

For example, if someone says something, I can imagine the events that will play out, and from there, I can think about what needs to be done and the actions I need to take to prevent a problem or create a benefit. I also do this with how I imagine others perceive me—I try to infer what they are thinking or how I can help them. If I'm talking to someone, I ensure everything I say won't annoy or upset them. I imagine what their reactions would be, which helps me word things correctly or guess what they will say or do next.

I often use this for imagining what I’m going to do in the future or what steps I can take towards a goal. I often do this when I work out because I enjoy the mental stimulation, but sometimes it makes me a little too detached from reality in my own world of idealism.

I have a very big desire to be overall morally upright person and try to inspire goodness being role model.My morals decision making is linked to my internal morals,social norms and religious beliefs.My beliefs are mainly focused outwards and when I take moral action my decisions are always making sure others are safe and good. I always feel a sense of obligation or think in "shoulds" all the time. I have a few examples on how it works and the process of it.

For example: If someone around me says something I think is wrong or someone needs help and I then think "I should try to guide them towards what's right or atleast say something" or "We shouldn't be acting like this". I feel the responsibility for making sure everything goes right or others do what's right hoping to benefit them.But sometimes I don't say anything cause I don't wanna come across as rude or self righteous but can feel guilty like I both failed to act morally and failed others.

For example: I'll see litter on the street and immediately think "I should clean that up,it harms the environment or someone could trip". It's things like this or "I need to make sure to hold the door everyone and make sure they are comfortable,be a gentleman and uphold the image of a role model". This is the main processes of my mind and I tried my best but it was hard to explain for somethings so sorry if it wasn't very clear or the greatest examples.

Overall My brain is always in conflict with itself is the only way I could put it.Its like i'm constantly both berating and defending myself or environment.

Ages 1-10 I don't remember everything about this time but from what my parents have told me I was a pretty normal and happy kid.I was both a quiet,organized and responsible who would follow the rules and look out for others while being able to be funny,imaginative,optimistic and adventurous.I was a big class clown growing up.I do remember feeling constantly criticized and that I was either wrong,bad,incompetent or lacking in some way compared to others and was sensitive to criticism.

Ages 11-13

Around this age, I began to develop a deep fear of being immoral, "bad," or corrupt. This was mainly due to intrusive thoughts that I hated, which made me fear I was a bad person. This led me to analyze my behavior closely, looking for contradictions. Everything always came back to whether I was "good," creating a drive to always do what is right. My parents told me I’ve had this trait since I was a toddler that I would weigh out options to find the best solution to make sure everything went correctly and things were in order like even my toys. Though I don’t remember it myself.

Ages 14–16

My motive remained centered on being moral and doing what is right. I became more aware of these urges, which often resulted in thoughts like, "I should help" or "I should do something." I constantly think in "should's" like I need fulfill a obligation and live up to my ideal of who I should be.This led to a lot of shame and guilt over my shortcomings, as well as anger when the world failed to meet my standards. I found my significance and worth through being a moral and noble person who could guide others. I put on a persona to be a role model for others through morality and being seen as a good heroic person but then when my friends told my that come across to self righteous and moralizing this really hurt cause I really thought I was helping and doing what was right.This made me realize I need to be more accepting and try to not always judge others.

Ages 17-18

This is when I discovered the Enneagram. I immediately recognized myself in Type 1 through its motives, desires, and fears. However, the more I looked into the system, the more I started to overthink it. When I first thought I was a Type 1, it made me feel validated—like I was a morally good person because I tried so hard and loved that I shared a type with fictional characters I like as-well. Being labeled the "moral/noble" type felt good, but that felt contradictory to the system's purpose.
