In life, many beings have many different ways where they carry themselves.
Some are servile and some are overbearing, with many more staying in between these extremes as they simply pass through life. Some may confidently raise their heads to the skies while strutting about while others hunch over and keep their heads very close to the earth!
Those who can confidently raise their heads and those who can be overbearing- a lot of the time there is something within their psyche that grants them such a disposition. Something that is there to back up their confidence in the face of anything.
Some had wealth or high societal position to back them up, others simply cultivated a strong belief in themselves as they raised their heads high through pure hard work. When it came to the being holding the Trait of Protagonist though...his assurance to act high and mighty in the face of a powerful Entity was his fear of Death being removed!
