As part of an answer about triptychs (3 fold elements) in literature I offered a triplet of my own as a model of character behavior. This : This is really just a simplified version of my character aspects advice that suggests that to define a character for story only requires you to know their desires, goals, stakes, and need.
This model is another step more basic. It's just about the influences on a character and the traits of their psyche. In Freudian psychology, there's a discussion about what's beneath the surface, or in writer's terms, what drives a behavior or choice. To make it really flexible ... there's what people WANT (Desire) which is balanced against what's practical and Necessary. You'd love to have that sports car but you'd have to give up half your food budget for five years to get it. Weighing immediate gratification versus long-term discomfort.
It seems illogical but many of us have met people that have made EXACTLY that kind of life decision. They are "those" kinds of people. You can see a character as a bias of three gravities, their drive for fulfillment, their emphasis on supporting themselves, their family, and society in general, and a need for balance and compromise which I call spirituality. The ability to understand and achieve your "true happiness" outside of material concerns. The archetypes tend to map to strong biases in the three directions, the hero, caregiver, lean toward duty, the outlaw, lover, and ruler toward fulfillment. It's just another way to think of character motivation at a more basic level.
