Character card / Gain–Pressure · Raiders
“I want results. Don't make me jump through procedural hoops.”
In everyday life, these tendencies value practical results, state terms directly, and keep acting despite disapproval.
In shadow mode, decisiveness may become taking by force from a position of advantage, treating others' boundaries as obstacles to efficiency. Pursuing resources, deciding quickly, and resisting the crowd are not in themselves raiding.
A direct focus on goals and resources can help you make quick tradeoffs in an emergency and avoid wasted effort, provided rights and boundaries are clear and you accept responsibility for the effects afterward.
When ‘time is short’ or ‘results matter’ is used to erase others' right to refuse, and obtaining the resource becomes the only measure, decisiveness becomes seizure.
Like the Harvester, the Raider directly pursues material gain, but has less need for procedural cover. Like the Bruiser, the Raider readily applies pressure in public; the Raider tends to stop once the resources are secured, while the Bruiser adds a price for resistance itself.
