The Myers-Briggs® Character Kinds of the Arcane Characters
Jinx (ENFP)
Jinx is a chaotic, traumatized model of an ENFP. She’s the spark that lights up the room and the fuse that blows it to hell—typically on the identical time.
Rising up as Powder, she was a delicate, keen child who needed nothing greater than to make her sister proud. However when Vi walked out—Jinx’s Ne (Extraverted Instinct) took the wheel and steered it straight right into a minefield of prospects. Each plan, each half-baked concept, turned an opportunity to show herself worthy of affection, even when that meant burning the entire world all the way down to get it.
Ne is all about “What if?” and for Jinx, these questions by no means cease: What if Vi nonetheless loves me? What if I could make the right bomb? What if every little thing I contact is doomed to blow up? Her thoughts is an countless whirlwind of prospects, and he or she chases every one till it both fizzles out or takes somebody’s arm off.
Beneath all of it, Fi (Introverted Feeling) is the molten core of her soul. Jinx feels every little thing like a punch to the intestine. She’s pushed by the should be seen, to be liked—typically by Vi, typically by Silco, typically simply by the little voice in her head that claims, “You’re greater than this.” When that voice falters, she clings to the one one who by no means left: herself. Even when which means telling the world to close up and let her be the explosive, unpredictable power she’s change into.
Vi (ESTP)
Vi is the older sister who by no means met an issue she didn’t need to punch sq. within the face. She’s the human equal of a wrecking ball—direct, charming, and about as refined as a bomb in a teacup.
As an ESTP, Vi doesn’t tiptoe across the reality—she prices at it headfirst. Se (Extraverted Sensing) is her superpower: she sees the world in excessive definition, each element sharp, each motion a chance. If one thing’s damaged, she’s not going to take a seat round questioning why—it’s getting mounted (or flattened) now.
Her Ti (Introverted Considering) is what retains her laser-focused when the fists begin flying. She’s fast on her ft, discovering leverage factors, all the time searching for the subsequent transfer. She may not be the sort to get misplaced in her emotions, however she’ll learn the room instantly—particularly if that room wants rearranging.
However ESTPs even have a Feeling facet; their tertiary operate, Extraverted Feeling, desires to handle the folks closest to it. Vi desires to guard her mates, her sister, her girlfriend. She cares about how they’re feeling and typically doesn’t know the right way to stick up for her personal self or perceive her personal emotions with out them.
For those who’re an ESTP, you would possibly see a little bit of your self in her—stressed, actual, and completely unstoppable.
Ekko (ISFP)
Ekko grew up within the shadows however by no means let the town’s grime persist with his soul. He’s an ISFP—fiercely unbiased, pushed by his personal coronary heart, and, let’s be trustworthy, cooler than anybody has a proper to be at twenty years outdated.
As a child, Ekko was all wide-eyed marvel and mischievous smiles—all the time discovering a option to make one thing out of nothing. However life within the Lanes hits exhausting and hits early. When the folks he liked most both vanished or changed into ghosts of themselves, Ekko did what ISFPs do finest: he received quiet. He turned inward, discovered his heart, and let his actions communicate louder than any phrases ever might.
Fi (Introverted Feeling) is Ekko’s secret engine. He doesn’t put on his coronary heart on his sleeve—he carries it like a flame in his chest, burning vibrant sufficient to maintain him going even when the world tries to snuff it out. When everybody else was scrambling to outlive, Ekko was constructing one thing higher: a haven for the misplaced youngsters of Zaun, a spot the place hope might nonetheless develop inexperienced even within the poisonous undercity.
Se (Extraverted Sensing) comes out when he fights—watch him in a scrap, and also you’ll see his consciousness of his environment, his capacity to react and dodge reflexively, within the second. Ekko’s no stranger to ache, however he’s realized to maneuver with it, to form it into one thing stunning.
Caitlyn (ISTJ)
Caitlyn is the regular hand of Piltover, the investigator who doesn’t simply take pictures at the hours of darkness—she strains them up and makes each one rely. As an ISTJ, she’s the form of one who builds her worldview from the bottom up: each element famous, each inconsistency challenged. No grand abstractions right here—Caitlyn offers in information and what’s actual.
Si (Introverted Sensing) is the spine of every little thing she does. That is the dominant operate of the ISTJ and the one Caitlyn makes use of probably the most clearly. She doesn’t speculate in regards to the future or chase concepts that don’t have any footing in actuality—she works with what she sees, what she is aware of, and what she will be able to show. In terms of catching criminals and restoring order, Caitlyn doesn’t entertain theories that may’t be backed up by exhausting proof. Her method is concrete, methodical—like bodily re-enacting a criminal offense scene to catch the smallest clues others would possibly miss.
Te (Extraverted Considering) is Caitlyn’s tactical edge. She’s decisive, pushed by the necessity to get outcomes and impose order on the chaos. She doesn’t mince phrases or waste time—she takes cost, lays out a plan, and executes it with effectivity. Lots of people assume her caring nature is a results of having a Feeling desire, however the reality is she reveals her care by means of duties and sensible assist. For FJs, there’s a extra feelings-centered method; emotions come first, duties later. TJs are all in regards to the duties, competence, and getting issues performed to make life smoother for everybody. They’re much less about emotional navigation or exploring emotions deeply. Whether or not it’s persuading Vi to assist together with her investigation or buying and selling for Shimmer to deal with Vi’s accidents, she doesn’t hesitate. She believes that fixing the issue is the way you assist folks—feelings will be handled later, if in any respect.
Viktor (INTJ)
Viktor all the time has one foot within the current, the opposite in a future he’s already mapped out in his thoughts. As a dominant Introverted Intuitive, he sees the threads of chance in every bit of steel and each flicker of sunshine. Whereas others fear about what’s, he’s centered on what could possibly be—and he’s decided to construct it, even when it means turning himself into a part of the machine.
Te (Extraverted Considering) provides Viktor the ruthless practicality to make his imaginative and prescient actual. There’s no hand-wringing right here—he calculates, he plans, and he executes with single-minded focus. When his well being begins to fail, he doesn’t pause to pity himself—he forges forward, utilizing Shimmer and the Hexcore to maintain his physique transferring, irrespective of the price. INTJs typically have an “ends justifies the means” method, and might rapidly put their our bodies on the backburner in the event that they’re on the sting of reaching their imaginative and prescient.
However beneath that icy focus, Fi (Introverted Feeling) is a part of what retains him human. That is the INTJ’s tertiary operate and one which retains him centered on his inside values and ethics. Fi is about internally processing feelings, discovering the reality of them, and being genuine, irrespective of the price. Viktor doesn’t put on his coronary heart on his sleeve, but it surely’s there—a deep loyalty to the folks of the Undercity and a deeply private sense of duty for the lives that get caught within the gears of progress. His compassion for these ignored by Piltover drives him to maintain working, at the same time as the load of his personal guilt threatens to interrupt him.
Viktor is the person backstage: pushed, decided, and quietly haunted. He’s not simply working for himself—he’s working for each child in Zaun who ever felt small, ignored, or left behind. And if which means turning himself into the Machine Herald, so be it—as a result of in his thoughts, the one tragedy better than dying is leaving his imaginative and prescient unfinished.
Vander (ENFJ)
Vander is the glue that holds the fractured items of Zaun collectively. As an ENFJ, he’s the pure chief—the large brother, the mediator, the one who sees the potential in everybody round him and believes in it even when the world says in any other case.
His dominant Fe (Extraverted Feeling) is his best power. Vander is superb at connecting with folks, weaving the tangled threads of Zaun’s streets into one thing that appears like household. He’s the voice that claims, “We don’t should combat to matter. We simply have to face collectively.” And when the cracks begin to present, he’s the primary to step up and say, “I’ll take the hit so that you don’t should.”
Ni (Introverted Instinct) is what units him other than the typical bar proprietor with a coronary heart of gold. Vander sees the large image, and he understands that violence isn’t all the time the reply—even when it appears like the one choice. He’s not centered on simply working a bar; he’s constructing a sanctuary, an emblem of hope in a metropolis that’s continually on the brink.
Vander’s the daddy determine who sees the perfect in everybody and the chief who believes in a future the place Zaun can thrive with out shedding its soul. In a world stuffed with schemes and shattered goals, Vander stands out because the uncommon particular person whose power is measured by how a lot he can maintain collectively—and the way a lot he’s prepared to sacrifice for the individuals who name him “boss,” “brother,” or “dad.”
Mel Medarda (ENTJ)
At first I believed Mel was an ENFJ. She’s insightful, compassionate, and empathetic. However then I reminded myself, as all of us should, that not all ENTJs are megalomaniac warlords just like the stereotypes would suggest.
Mel is an Intuitive like an ENFJ, with a give attention to the lengthy sport and the larger image. However she additionally makes use of Extraverted Considering, the deciding-function of the ENTJ, to maneuver ahead. When the town’s on the point of break, she’s not wringing her fingers about what folks need to hear—she’s working the angles, forging alliances, and leveraging each benefit she will be able to discover. She’s prepared to govern, positive, however provided that it will get her nearer to a concrete answer.
Now wholesome ENTJs steadiness their need for competence and accomplishment with a course of known as Introverted Feeling. This operate is all about staying true to your self and doing what you imagine is correct. Unhealthy ENTJs are horrible at it; they transfer folks round like chess items and don’t care in regards to the emotional fallout. Wholesome ENTJs have created a bond between their pondering facet and their feeling facet. Sure, Mel’s feeling facet won’t ever be as highly effective as her pondering facet, but it surely nonetheless informs all of her choices. She doesn’t chase consensus or social approval (Fe)—she’s anchored by her inside sense of what issues, which is what Fi is all about.
The stress of disaster doesn’t flip her into self-doubt or nitpicking each logical prefer it would possibly for Ti-inferior sorts (ENFJs and ESFJs). As an alternative, she begins weighing her motives, questioning if she’s actually chosen this path or if she’s simply change into her mom’s shadow. That’s the wholesome ENTJ below strain: nonetheless decisive, however extra self-aware, checking that her ambition aligns together with her coronary heart.
For Mel, the endgame is all the time sensible and results-driven. She sees feelings—her personal and others’—as knowledge factors to issue into her subsequent transfer, not as probably the most vital piece within the puzzle. Her mastery of emotional nuance isn’t about making everybody really feel good—it’s about steering the world the place she is aware of it must go.
Heimerdinger (INTP)
At first look, Heimerdinger would possibly seem to be he’s caught up to now—clinging to custom and warning whereas the world round him is racing forward. Due to this, lots of people have profiled him as an ISTJ or ISFJ. However right here’s the factor: INTPs (particularly INTP 5s or 6s) are usually on the cautious facet as effectively. They need to grasp the underlying rules of one thing and take time to identify inconsistencies or errors. Heimerdinger is an aged, sensible INTP who is aware of that good concepts aren’t sufficient when you don’t perceive how they work—and what they may price.
Heimerdinger’s core drive is Introverted Considering (Ti). He doesn’t rush headlong into new initiatives or get carried away by large goals—he desires to grasp each variable, each potential consequence, earlier than he indicators off. He’s analytical, slower in his processing, and deeply interested by how issues work and having clear definitions.
Then there’s his Extraverted Instinct (Ne). Even after centuries of experiments and lectures, he’s nonetheless captivated by new concepts. He’s the form of scientist who sees a brand new invention and thinks, “What else can this do?”—not as a result of he desires to manage it, however as a result of he’s curious. However the place Ne could make some folks impulsive, his Ti and life expertise preserve him grounded. He’s open to new theories, however provided that they make sense.
His tertiary Si (Introverted Sensing) is what makes him so cautious. He’s lived by means of wars and watched magic flip cities to rubble. These reminiscences aren’t simply historical past to him—they’re a continuing reminder that progress has a value. And whereas he’s not afraid of change, he received’t embrace it if he doesn’t assume it might probably stand as much as scrutiny.
In the long run, Heimerdinger is the regular thoughts in a world that prizes velocity and energy over warning. He’s not right here to chase the most recent breakthrough or to bask in countless what-ifs. He’s right here to grasp—to check, to confirm, and to be sure that no matter comes subsequent is definitely worth the danger. As a result of to an INTP like Heimerdinger, that’s the one manner progress has ever actually mattered.
Silco (INTJ)
Silco is the form of chief who believes that imaginative and prescient isn’t simply necessary—it’s every little thing. His whole existence revolves across the single-minded pursuit of Zaun’s independence, irrespective of what number of alliances he has to interrupt or lives he has to sacrifice alongside the best way. The place others see danger, Silco sees alternative. He’s all the time three steps forward, whether or not he’s manipulating Marcus or reworking Deckard right into a Shimmer monster. His ambition is fueled by a relentless Ni—he’s all the time enjoying the lengthy sport, all the time working the angles to be sure that the chaos of at this time creates the order of tomorrow.
He doesn’t waste power on justifying himself or looking for approval—his Fi is fiercely loyal to what he believes is correct, even when it means turning into the villain. When push involves shove, he doesn’t blink. And but, his bond with Jinx reveals a unique facet: he has that signature Fi need to guard a selected misfit or underdog—proof that even in a world constructed on betrayal and decay, one thing real can develop. In the long run, Silco dies as he lived: unwavering in his imaginative and prescient, even when it means accepting the ache and destruction that include it.
Maddie Nolen (ESFJ)
Maddie is heat, perceptive, and fast to place others comfy. As an ESFJ, she’s all about studying folks and connecting, whether or not she’s combating alongside Caitlyn’s strike crew or sharing a quiet second of belief within the bed room. Her Fe (Extraverted Feeling) makes her the form of teammate you’d need watching your again—somebody who reads the temper, fills within the gaps, and smooths out the tough edges when tensions run excessive. That stated, like many Extraverted Feeling sorts, Maddie additionally is aware of the right way to play a job effectively. And ultimately, this stunned all of us viewers who weren’t anticipating her final betrayal.
Singed (INTP)
Singed is the form of scientist who’s by no means glad with the established order—he’s all the time looking for the subsequent breakthrough, irrespective of what number of strains he has to cross to get there. As an INTP, his Ti (Introverted Considering) drives him to take issues aside and put them again collectively in methods nobody else would dare. He doesn’t care in regards to the guidelines—he cares in regards to the knowledge, the method, the joys of discovery. That’s why he’s prepared to sacrifice every little thing—creatures, folks, even his personal humanity—to see simply how far he can push the boundaries of life.
However beneath that cool, calculating exterior is a person pushed by his personal twisted sense of objective. Singed isn’t simply experimenting for the sake of information—he’s looking for one thing deeper, one thing that may redeem the world he’s helped break. He’s not a hero or a villain within the conventional sense—he’s a person consumed by curiosity and haunted by what that curiosity has price him. In the long run, Singed stands as a stark reminder that the pursuit of progress will be each a present and a curse.
Claggor (ISFJ)
Claggor was the regular rock of Vi’s crew, all the time there to help (or muscle) when issues went south. As an ISFJ, he was cautious and constant, typically the voice of cause of their impulsive adventures. He wasn’t afraid to query whether or not their schemes have been definitely worth the danger—like when he hesitated earlier than they broke into Jayce’s lab—however as soon as he dedicated, he caught by his household irrespective of the price.
Claggor’s sense of obligation to his adoptive household was his driving power. He didn’t crave the highlight or the joys of the heist—he simply needed to maintain his mates secure and see them by means of to the opposite facet.
Marcus (ESTJ)
Marcus was a person of guidelines—at the very least till he wasn’t. As an ESTJ, he was decisive, environment friendly, and devoted to getting issues performed, even when it meant reducing ethical corners. His no-nonsense method made him an ideal match for Sheriff of Piltover, the place he wielded his authority like a blunt instrument—fast to place down bother and fast to remind everybody who was in cost.
However Marcus’s story is a cautionary story of what occurs when that Te (Extraverted Considering) drive to keep up order turns into blind ambition. Silco performed him like a fiddle, leveraging Marcus’s worry for his daughter and his want to remain on high. In the long run, he was trapped within the internet he’d spun—an ESTJ undone by his personal inflexible sense of management and the compromises he made to maintain it.
Jayce Talis (ENFJ)
Jayce was the golden boy of Piltover—visionary, idealistic, and a born chief. His ENFJ charisma made him a grasp of rallying folks behind large goals, whether or not it was Hextech or forging a greater future for his metropolis. He was pushed by a deep should be the protector Piltover wanted, and he genuinely believed he might change the world for the higher.
However even for an ENFJ, Jayce’s idealism had blind spots. His willingness to be everybody’s champion meant he was simply manipulated by those that noticed the world in colder phrases. Repeatedly, he was torn between his coronary heart’s convictions and the tough political actuality of council rooms and energy performs. And but, regardless of all of it, Jayce by no means misplaced that spark of hope—the assumption that progress and compassion might go hand in hand.
Ambessa Medarda (ESTJ)
Ambessa Medarda was a power of nature: ruthless, calculating, and completely centered on the underside line. My daughter and I couldn’t stand her, even when we adored her aesthetic.
Her ESTJ mindset made her a born strategist—she had no persistence for sentimentality or half-measures. In a world of dreamers, she was the voice of chilly pragmatism, all the time weighing the chances and by no means hesitating to make the exhausting name if it meant securing energy.
For Ambessa, power is about management. She noticed potential in folks like Jayce, however she by no means let her admiration for anybody’s expertise get in the best way of her ambitions. Her confidence was unshakable as a result of she by no means questioned her personal authority. In the long run, she was the quintessential ESTJ common: decisive, commanding, and prepared to bulldoze something in her option to get what she needed.
Sevika (ISTP)
Sevika is the hard-nosed enforcer of Zaun, recognized for her pragmatic method and no-nonsense demeanor. As an ISTP, she prefers direct motion over drawn-out debates—she’s at her finest when the fists are flying and the stakes are clear. She isn’t pushed by lofty beliefs or rousing speeches; she values what works, what’s actual, and what retains her folks alive in a metropolis that’s by no means cared about them. She’s fiercely unbiased, loyal to the trigger, however by no means above calling out weak point—particularly in leaders who speak greater than they act.
But Sevika’s loyalty isn’t blind. She sticks with Silco till the tip as a result of she believes he’s the one one powerful sufficient to get issues performed. Her instincts preserve her alive and in energy lengthy after others have fallen. When Silco dies, Sevika doesn’t waste time with grief—she sees the subsequent step and retains transferring. Her toughness masks a surprisingly versatile thoughts, all the time weighing the subsequent transfer in a world the place plans change instantly.
