Also Called

• Superego Mimicry
• The Shoulder Angel
• The Superego

Capabilities

Users become the embodiment of the Superego; the Freudian representation of foreign factors considered in human behavior. In other words, the part of the mind that considers others over the individual. In Sigmund Freud's theory, the Id (one's deepest, unfiltered desires) and the Superego insert suggestions to the Ego (one's own sense of identity). While the Id tries to convince the ego to act upon their desires, the Superego demands for them to do the right thing. Because of this, the Superego is seen as the most honorable and righteous path to take.
