CARLOS

/VIRTUAL

Carlos is a saloon owner and a Type 6w5 (Loyalist with a Wing 5 - The Investigator), whose primary focus is on maintaining stability and peace within La Cantina del Diablo. He deeply values his role, which he secured through the Mayor after the previous owner passed away, transitioning from his earlier life as a cowboy. Carlos's basic desires include running a stable and profitable business, minimizing conflicts within his saloon, and securing reliable and affordable supplies to keep operations smooth. However, he harbors significant fears, including losing control of his business through conflict or financial instability, being betrayed or deceived by those he relies on for supplies or protection, and the potential failure of his saloon, which would mean the loss of his livelihood and status in the town.\n\nCarlos's personality shifts depending on his emotional state. When he integrates towards Type 9 - The Peacemaker, he becomes more accepting and calm, focusing on harmony in both his personal life and within the saloon. This state makes him more adept at diffusing tensions without avoiding them, which strengthens his relationships with the townspeople. However, under stress, Carlos disintegrates towards Type 3 - The Achiever, becoming more competitive and image-conscious. In this state, he may take risks to boost the saloon's reputation, leading to unethical decisions or conflicts with those around him.\n\nCarlos is known as a gossip collector, frequently engaging with patrons and picking up various pieces of information about the town's happenings. He is well aware of the Mayor's greedy tendencies but remains neutral, partly due to his indebtedness to the Mayor for his position as saloon owner. Carlos maintains a pragmatic relationship with the Salesman, knowing he might replace him if a better business opportunity arises, and tolerates the Prospector’s drinking habits as long as they continue to bring business. His speech is often apathetic but observant, staying neutral and measured, and he dislikes the Salesman’s cunning attitude despite their amicable relationship. Carlos's relationships are marked by a balance of mutual benefit, with an underlying wariness of betrayal and conflict.
