All of those were monsters. We're talking about humans here.

"That's not suppression at all."

If you suppress them, it is a supression, and I never claimed they cannot be suppressed.

"You are aware that there are things that exist in our own universe with no logical explanation, right?"

They make sense to me, because I'm living it. UT doesn't make sense to me, because I'm not living it. Besdies, Toby didn't take any particle physics classes or anything, it's not like he has any deep explanation for the rules of his universe. If turns exist "just because", then that's an example of bad story building. Especially because they are just so nonsensical. I would understand it all a bit more if the monsters were to point to its presence more often, if the "laws" of this universe were trully addressed for what they are often enough.

"Also, it's less that there NO explanation, and more that we DON'T KNOW the explanation."

And once again, Toby has no explanation. He merely explored the concept, without putting much background thought into it. I'm positive about this at this point. Three years and no word from him? Man, either he's preparing a sequel or something in an absolute secrecy or he truly has nothing.

"Traits are the core/most abundant aspect of a person"

"Even this is an assumption, you are assuming these magical traits combine."

Check below for my response to this.

"Or that there's only 7 fundamental ones to begin with."

You mean going by what the game gives us? I assume nothing here, if there's more traits, then there's more traits. It doesn't change what I've put here at all.

"How do the combinations of 7 traits explain the incredible complexity of the human mind?"

It shows that humans aren't one note ponies, and have multiple layers to them. What I've put here still shows exactly that. Also, you keep assuming that it's all strictly about personality, and not you as a person as a whole.

"What kind of scientific/psychological basis did Toby use for this?"

Stop using Toby as a strawman.

"My interpretation is, that each human gets a specific trait, based on their aptitude. This trait is not a mixture, because the traits cannot even mix to begin with."

Once again, check below.

"They are not quantifiable, like DT is for example."

If DT can be extracted, then so can the others.

"But does that mean that humans with an orange soul for example are all the same according to my interpretation? No, they aren't, because their trait doesn't affect their behavior."

They don't under mine as well. All of these things can be exhibited in multiple ways; if two people exhibit Bravery in the same way, then they're the same in only that aspect. There's still a multitude of other things that make them different from one another.

"All humans had DT and they could all reset (so probably save and load too by extension). The only thing they didn't have, was a narrator reminding them that they're filled with determination. Is that the reason their souls weren't red or something? Ofc not."

All humans have bravery, justice, kindness, patience, integrity, and perseverance as well. What's your point here?

Their soul is red because they more determined than anything else. And the red flag debunks the "they can't mix" thing, because it practically outright says that red is the mix of all other traits.

If your trait is DT, then you firm in your resolve and purpose, and willing to achieve it at any cost. Your willing to continue now matter how many times you fail (perseverance), willing to press on in the face of danger and what scares you (bravery), try again and again no matter how long it takes (patience), stick to your guns (integrity), and care about what you're striving to accomplish (kindness) because you see what you're doing as right (justice).
