Freudian Trio / Video Games

---

• Ace Attorney: The (former) friend-trio Edgeworth-Wright-Butz greatly evokes this, even though we never really see the three of them in action together.
  • Superego: Miles Edgeworth — A rather serious person and great logical thinker, described as a "bookworm" by Larry, who, both, prior to his Face–Heel Turn and after his Heel–Face Turn 15 years later is driven by the desire to uncover the truth and serve justice, saving the innocent and punishing the guilty. Also prone to hold a speech now or then.
  • Ego: Phoenix Wright — Obsessed with helping others to the point of basing his whole education and career around the possibility to slap some sense into a friend he knew for barely 8 months in grade school, but also a great Deadpan Snarker inside and professional Butt-Monkey, who is often shown to be afraid of accidentally making a "too" wrong choice during one of his Indy Ploys.
  • Id: Larry Butz — A Casanova Wannabe and renowned troublemaker, who mistakes every hint of attraction to a girl for "True Love", demands his desire to be fulfilled and reacts almost hysterical to rejection.

• Aion:
  • Seraphim Lords:
    • Ego: Ariel — Thoughtful and amiable. Is disappointed that Azphel's recklessness ruined the peace talks with the Balaur. Leader of the Seraphim Lords.
    • Superego: Nezekan — Contemplative, but decisive. Nezekan is reserved and tolerant, but adamant once he reaches a conclusion.
    • Id: Vaizel — Playful, selfish, and cunning. Often goes off on his own in disguise to hang out with ordinary humans, and sometimes neglects his duties.
    • Ego: Ariel
    • Id: Kaisinel — A dark and enigmatic Blood Knight who is focused on getting revenge on Shedim Lady Lumiel for embarrassing him in battle. He's a girl in Korea. (Id)
    • Superego: Yustiel — The Heart of the group. Gentle and caring, she's most interested in peace and reconciliation.
  • Shedim Lords:
    • Ego: Azphel — A decisive perfectionist who holds himself and his subordinates to high standards. Hates Ariel for being too weak-willed to continue the fight against the Balaur and believes that Ariel has failed in her duties. Leader of the Shedim Lords
    • Id: Zikel — Azphel's right hand. Once a friendly rival of Nezekan, they have fallen out of favor with one another. Zikel is violent, arrogant, and lacks self-control. Somewhat of a Reckless Sidekick, as he was partially responsible for the events that ignited the abyss war.
    • Superego: Marchutan — Quiet, respectful, and completely stoic. Also The Big Guy. Prefers rational planning rather than Zikel's impulsiveness.
    • Ego: Azphel
    • Superego: Triniel — Composed and calculating, she prefers to strike precisely and accurately. Has a cold indifferent personality.
    • Id: Lumiel — Not much is known about her since she joined the Shedim Lords, but according to accounts from before the cataclysm, she is curious, innocent, and mischievous. Pursues magic studies with the same curiosity that a Playful Hacker applies to computer security.
    Note that the Seraphim Lords and Shedim Lords each have one member whose personality traits best fit those of the other group as a way to show that Light Is Not Good and Dark Is Not Evil.

• A huge theme in ALTER EGO.
  • Superego: Ego Rex — during the SUPER EGO route, Es is erased from existence and Ego Rex takes over.
  • Id: Es — during the ID route, Es stops reining her impulses and goes crazy. Her name is the original term Freud used for the Id. (das Es)
  • Ego: The Player Character/wanderer. It should be noted that during the EGO/ALTER EGO route, no strange whispers start appearing.

• Perhaps the most core group of characters to the story of Baldur's Gate:
  • Id: Minsc — Butt-kicking for goodness!
  • Superego: Jaheira — Be careful, child.
  • Ego: The Protagonist: Quiet, both of you!
  • A few other trios naturally form from the NPCs:
    • Id: Anomen — Hot-heated, stubborn, and proud to a fault.
    • Superego: Cernd — Detached, enigmatic, rational.
    • Ego: Keldorn — Older, weary, driven.

    • Superego: Viconia — Bitterness tempered by calculated ruthlessness.
    • Ego: Jaheira — Honest, mixes regret with firm reason.
  • You can categorize the evil NPCs the same way:
    • Superego: Edwin Odesseiron — Brilliant, rational-logical, scheming.
    • Id: Korgan Bloodaxe — Passionate, violent, impulsive, mercurial.

• Baten Kaitos Origins:
  • Id: Milly — Impulsive sheltered girl who is eager to see the world.

  • Ego: Sagi — Young protagonist who often has to sort the other two out when they quarrel.

• BlazBlue:
  • The Heroes:
    • Id: Ragna — Confrontational and foul-mouthed, but also passionate and cares more than he'd like to admit.
    • Ego: Noel (after Character Development) — Kind and ties the two together.
    • Superego: Jin — Cold and rational. Also a bit of a dick.
  • The Villains:
    • Id: Terumi — Hammy, sadistic psychopath and rival to Ragna.
    • Ego: Izanami — Commands the two and keeps them together.
    • Superego: Relius — Cold logical sociopath.
  • The Academy Girls:
    • Id: Makoto — Energetic, eccentric, and scatter-brained. Cares greatly about her friends.

  • The Murakumo Units:

    • Superego: Lambda-11 — Emotionless, does only what she is told.
  • Terumi and his vessels:
    • Id: Terumi, being a crazy, murderous person who has No Indoor Voice, swears like a sailor and tends to act really impulsively.
    • Superego: Kazuma, who is a Nice Guy, which, in other words, is that he has the most moral senses out of the three, is quiet, soft-spoken and only becomes evil after Terumi corrupts him.
    • Ego: Hazama, who nicely balances the other two out. He is just as evil as Terumi is, but in a much more subtle way, and he has an extremely polite speaking manner like Kazuma (though he sometimes manages to slip some bad words in between).

• The Bouncer:
  • Ego: Sion — The friendly, yet confused protagonist
  • Id: Kou — The sarcastic loudmouth
  • Superego: Volt — The silent giant

• Brutal Orchestra - The three central characters who are eventually revealed to be the same person:

  • Superego: Katherine, she's the Lawful Control Freak. She acts as Vincent's responsibility.
  • Ego: Qatherine "Rin", she's actually he's the Innocent and The Klutz. She acts as Vincent's neutral between desire and responsibility.

• Darksiders: The three heads of the Charred Council fit this:
  • Id: Angry Head — The most overtly emotive of the three heads, being very quick to anger and prone to rash decision-making. Spends most of their screentime screaming at the protagonist about his alleged betrayal and advocated that Abaddon be punished for violating the Balance immediately, despite the lack of solid proof.
  • Superego: Reasonable Head — They always advocate caution and taking into account the consequences of any decision. They're the most overtly logical of the three, pointing out that War's defeat does not necessarily prove his innocence and warning that a strike against Abaddon without proof of his crimes risks angering the Four Horsemen.
  • Ego: Wise Head — They act as the mediator to the other two. They're the one to engineer the Council's Batman Gambit of sending War to Earth, playing on his sense of honour and desire for vengeance to make him fulfil their goal, and are much less overtly volatile than the other two.

• Dead Rising:
  • Id: Frank West — Impulsive, eager for the big scoop, has more concern for results than authority
  • Superego: Jessie — Takes her job very seriously, trying to stick to her regulations despite the circumstances

• DmC: Devil May Cry:
  • Id: Dante, aggressive, anti-social, crass.
  • Superego: Vergil, strategic, tactical, ruthless, sees the human world.
  • Ego: Kat, kind, gentle, the most emotionally mature.

• Devil Survivor 2 has this in its main trio:
  • Superego: Io, despite how badly the new world shakes her, is quick to adapt to the fact that fighting is often the only option she has, and comes around to the idea that extreme solutions may be necessary in the chaos.
  • Ego: The main character can go either way, though tends to have options to remain cool under pressure as well as to show his emotions. He also tends to act as a mediator whenever the party fractures.
  • Id: Daichi adapts poorly to the new world until and beyond the very end, emotional, hysterical, and tearful in the face of violence. Wants to return to the way things were even when everyone else believes that isn't possible.

• Disgaea: Hour of Darkness:
  • Id: Laharl — Ambitious and irritable Noble Demon
  • Superego: Flonne — Laharl's self-appointed guardian angel and Love Freak

    • Id: Gordon — A loud and over the top defender of Earth who rarely thinks things through.
    • Superego: Jennifer — Gordon's genius Hyper-Competent Sidekick who's far closer to reality than Gordon, but can often let her imagination get the better of her.

• In Double Homework, the protagonist and his sisters comprise this:
  • Id - Tamara: blunt, cares little for rules, immediately rips on people who piss her off, can be careless about her sexual hijinks
  • Ego - The Protagonist: proud, capable of both strategy and quick action, rational about getting his needs and desires met
  • Superego - Johanna: repressed in many ways, slow to show anger or hurt, socially conscious, law-abiding, feels guilty about breaking rules or social norms
• Dragon Age: Origins, of your starting team:
  • Ego: The Warden as the Player Character will usually be this.
  • Id: Alistair — likable, dorky Manchild, very much into saving kittens from trees and dislikes ruthless choices.
  • Superego: Morrigan — Mostly ruthless for pragmatic reasons, motivated by power and survival. Plus one odd puppy kicking moment.

• Dragon Age II, the actual three personality types of the Player Character:
  • Ego: Diplomatic!Hawke — just what you would expect from a diplomatic type.
  • Id: Snarky!Hawke — what with being a Cloudcuckoolander and rather spontaneous, often saying completely inappropriate things on a whim.
  • Superego: Aggressive!Hawke — because although the aggressiveness is somewhat unpredictable, this personality type usually voices ruthless and/or practical opinions, and its other form (Direct!Hawke) is a counterpoint to Snarky!Hawke's silliness.

• Dragon Age: Inquisition, characters are sorted into four groups of three:
  • The Warriors
    • Superego — Cassanda: Logical, honorable, pragmatic, Paladin
    • Ego — Blackwall: Has a dark side to him but is not as emotional as Bull nor as clear-headed as Cassandra

  • The Rogues
    • Superego — Cole: Methodical, trouble understanding emotions, driven by a single purpose
    • Ego — Varric: Team Dad, Nice Guy, easily the most emotionally and morally balanced of the rogues
    • Id — Sera: Emotional, impulsive, Hot-Blooded, and rebellious
  • The Mages
    • Superego — Solas/Vivienne could both fit under this title, as both are scheming, unflappable, and cold - although Solas is much more prone to showing emotion than Vivienne
    • Id — Dorian: Emotional, sensitive, outgoing, and charismatic
  • The Advisors
    • Superego — Leliana: Calculating, stoic spymaster
    • Ego — Josephine: Level-headed, friendly diplomat
    • Id — Cullen: Emotional, insecure, militaristic commander

• Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and The Blight Below has the three main characters form up this trio nicely.
  • Superego: Luceus, the Male Player Character, who always thinks up strategies before taking any action and is the most skeptical of the three.
  • Id: Aurora, The Female Player Character, who would much rather leap in and start slashing than listen to her comrade's long-winded plans and always is the first to help someone in need.
  • Ego: King Doric, as boisterous as he is wise, listens to both his captains' points of view before declaring the plan of action and leading the way.

• drowning, drowning: The three girls whom Maia befriends in the sea.
  • Id: Amphithoe is a carefree and impulsive Genki Girl who has a tendency to accidentally cause trouble for herself and her friends. She invites Maia to play with her in the water.
  • Superego: Clio is a serious and organized Only Sane Woman who acts as Am's minder. She tries to keep Maia out of the sea out of concern for her safety.
  • Ego: Eudora is more responsible than Am, but also more relaxed than Clio. She helps the other two set the record straight regarding Maia's presence in the sea.

• The Elder Scrolls:
  • In the series backstory, according to the popular Merger of Souls theory regarding the apotheosis of Talos, the three (main) beings who combined to form Talos fit the trio.
    • Id: Wulfharth Ash-King — Ancient Hero-King of the Nords, Shezarrine, and Knight Templar-level hater of all things Elven who died and came back to life at least three times. Preferred a Leave No Survivors approach when it came to his enemies and wasn't afraid to order The Purge.

    • Superego: Zurin Arctus — The first Imperial Battlemage of the Third Empire and writer of Tamriel's Big Book of War who found a way to reactivate and control the Numidium which Septim used to complete his conquests.

• The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, The Tribunal, a trio of Physical Gods who've stolen divine power from the still-beating heart of the dead creator god Lorkhan.
  • Id: Almalexia — Action Girl, Mama Bear, and Fighter who has repeatedly defended her Dunmer people from all manner of threats in ages past with her Lightning Sword. Has the most A God Am I tendencies of the trio.
  • Ego: Vivec — The Mostly Reasonable Warrior Poet and Thief leader of the trio. Even his "kill on sight" orders for anyone claiming to be the Nerevarine are justified in that he believes You Can't Fight Fate and that all efforts to kill the true Nerevarine would fail, verifying him. Once you've proven yourself to him, he becomes a Supporting Leader Big Good who helps to defeat the Big Bad, even at the cost of his own divinity.
  • Superego: Sotha Sil — Wizard Mystic and Mage of the trio who preferred not to intervene directly in mortal affairs, instead shaping the world from behind the scenes.

• Eternal Darkness has its Ancients, a set of gods who despite being mortal enemies have three so closely associated they fit here nicely:
  • Id: Chattur'gah — God of Strength and Matter, brutal and the least mind-focused, overpowers Xel'lotath.
  • Ego: Ulyaoth — God of Magic and Spirit, the most intelligent — and arrogant about it, overpowers Chattur'gah.

  • It's hinted that there are in fact five Ancients.

• Exit Fate:
  • Superego: Daniel — Calm, rational, idealistic, and determined to solve the world's problems without fighting.
  • Ego: Angel — Level-headed, loyal, and often the mediator between Daniel and Jovian.
  • Id: Jovian — Enthusiastic, sometimes impulsive, and a little hotheaded.

• Fable II has the three Heroes:
  • Id: Reaver, a pirate that is obsessed with material wealth and earthly pleasures
  • Ego: Garth, a brilliant scholar that, while snarky, can offer sound advice
  • Superego: Hammer, a former monk that is fully committed to doing good

• Fallout 4 the Far Harbor dlc Factions:
  • Id: The Harbormen, a mistrustful town of fishermen, who despise the Children of Atom and have a fairly simple-minded existence.
  • Ego: Arcadia, the more peaceful albeit conflicted group, even if Dima's intentions seem shady and underhanded.
  • Superego: Children of Atom, a cult of devout worshippers who despite their radicalism, are organized and find the Harbormen heretical.

• Far Cry 4:
  • Id: Amita — Vengeful, Angry, and willing to sacrifice the innocent for a quick victory.
  • Ego: Ajay Ghale — Affable, guilty, but willing to take another's life for revenge.
  • Superego: Sabal — Traditional, steady, altruistic, very guilty if innocents die even if it was the only way.

• Final Fantasy:
  • Final Fantasy VII:
    • Id: Barrett Wallace — Loud, Commanding, can be calm but is very much a man of action.
    • Superego: Cloud Strife — Aloof, Calm, initially only in it for the money.

    • Superego: Sephiroth — The Stoic who maintains a calm, professional demeanor under any circumstances, even in the heat of battle.
    • Ego: Angeal — The mediator who values honor and discipline, but has a casual and friendly side.
    • These classifications are made quite clear in the FMV sequence of the three sparring—Genesis goes all out trying to overpower Sephiroth, who calmly repels him without even breaking a sweat, and the two are eventually stopped by Angeal when it begins to get out of hand.
  • Final Fantasy VIII:
    • Id: Laguna Loire — A smart yet impulsive and offbeat man who often makes reckless decisions.
    • Superego: Kiros Seagill — Level-headed Deadpan Snarker who most often tries to get Laguna's head out of the clouds and back onto the mission at hand.
    • Ego: Ward Zabac — Respects the other two's opinions but will side with whoever's actually making sense.
  • Final Fantasy X: The main cast doesn't have a strong example (you could argue for Tidus-Yuna-Auron) but looking at the pilgrimage of Tidus' and Yuna's fathers gives a great example.
    • Id: Jecht — The headstrong and impulsive jerk, who mellows a bit by the end of their journey.
    • Superego: Auron — Has a strong sense of tradition and decorum, and is exasperated by Jecht's antics.

    • Id: Baralai — still hold a grudge after Nooj shoot him, Paine and Gippal.
    • Superego: Nooj — the one who shoots Gippal, Paine and Baralai. But regret doing it.
  • Final Fantasy XII. Though the main cast consists of six-party members, Vaan and Penelo are Tagalong Kids, and Fran isn't given much spotlight. With them aside, the remaining three consists of:
    • Id: Ashe — The Hero in practice who swore to see Dalmasca restored. A bit of a bitch when first met and often has harsh words for the Empire. Her desire for revenge and the power to fulfill it drives much of the plot, several times she's called out on blindly pursuing vengeance. (but Character Development turns her into the Ego by the end of the game)
    • Superego: Basch — Ashe's bodyguard who swore to protect her, he's The Stoic and is silently devoted to doing anything he can to see her safe. In the meantime, he's calm, rational, and level-headed, acts as Ashe's voice of reason in her more heated moments and keeps his emotions close to the vest.
    • Ego: Balthier — A Sky Pirate and Gentleman Thief, he acts based on his desires and is concerned with his own interests. However, he tempers it with wit and cunning, has his own personal set of standards and morals that he keeps to, and is fundamentally a good man.

  • Id: Maki — Hotheaded and loves fighting
  • Superego: Carlos — Dedicated to his martial art studies

• Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones — The main trio:
  • Id: Ephraim — Somewhat of a rebel, Ephraim tends to charge towards problems headfirst, and is highly confident to the point of arrogance.
  • Ego: Eirika — While emotionally driven, for better or worse, Eirika prefers to handle the war in subtler ways than her brother.
  • Superego: Seth — As the adviser to the twins, Seth is very much logically driven, leaving him at odds with Ephraim, and he is heavily focused on carrying his duty to protect the twins first and foremost, choosing to bottle up his feelings (to Eirika's chagrin).

• Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance — The top three of the Greil Mercenaries:
  • Ego: Ike — At various points in the story, Ike will have to make an important decision and will consult his deputy commander, Titania, and his staff officer, Soren.
  • Id: Titania — She tends to appeal to Ike's emotional side, opting to face the Daein Army while vastly outnumbered in order to protect Elincia. Of course, she could probably take them all on by herself anyway.
  • Superego: Soren — As the strategist of the Greil Mercenaries, Soren is inclined to work towards the benefit of Ike, and only Ike, even if that means suggesting some morally questionable courses of action, such as handing over the princess and hiring Volke.

• Fire Emblem: Awakening — The main trio:
  • Id: Chrom — Has a strong sense of justice, to the point of neglecting his own safety at times in order to help others.

• Fire Emblem Fates:
  • Prince Ryoma and his retainers:
    • Id: Saizo — Hot-Blooded, easily angered, neglects his own safety during fights to the point where his personal skill reflects it (if he's badly hurt, his attack will do extra damage to enemies).
    • Ego: Ryoma himself — While just as hot-blooded and fierce as Saizo, he's also shown to be pragmatic and thoughtful at several points in the story.
    • Superego: Kagero — Calm and composed, rarely ever loses her cool even when being held captive in all three paths. She's also the one to keep her more emotional partner in line.
  • Prince Xander and his retainers:
    • Id: Peri — Childish and bloodthirsty, quick to tears and easy to anger. She even wears her hair in Girlish Pigtails to add to the effect.
    • Ego: Laslow — A flirt who's easily embarrassed, but has a strong work ethic and loyalty to his prince.
    • Superego: Xander — Serious to a fault to mask his shaky confidence in himself, puts work above everything else.
  • Princess Sakura and her retainers:
    • Id: Hana — Tomboyish samurai who can be reckless in battle and can't sit still for very long.
    • Ego: Sakura — Shy and a little insecure, but level-headed and does her best to make sure her retainers take care of themselves and is the one to stop their arguing during their introduction scene.
    • Superego: Subaki — Fussy perfectionist who obsesses over the details and fears not being loved if he fails.
  • The maids and butler trio that serve Corrin:
    • Id: Felicia — Clumsy and emotional, follows her heart.
    • Ego: Jakob — A Sugar-and-Ice Personality who takes his duties seriously, but will be kind and devoted to his wife if he marries, and isn't above showing emotions in his other supports.
    • Superego: Flora — The Dutiful Daughter almost to a fault, will do as she's told without question and willfully sacrifices her own happiness for the sake of others.
• The trio of Odin, Selena, and Laslow from the Nohr kingdom who are actually Owain, Severa, and Inigo respectfully from Fire Emblem: Awakening:
  • Id: Odin — The Hot-Blooded, hammy, and emotional dark mage who make himself grandiose with his magic.

  • Superego: Laslow — The more calm and rational of the three who puts into consideration other people's needs.

• Fire Emblem: Three Houses:
  • The main three lords can be this:
    • Id: Dimitri — The most emotional of the three lords who holds a code of chivalry and honor while fighting his own inner demons due to Survivor Guilt.
    • Ego: Claude — The balancer between Dimitri's brashness and Edelgard's level-headedness.
    • Superego: Edelgard — The most rational and logical of the three lords who evaluates her surroundings before acting.

• Grand Theft Auto V:
  • Ego: Franklin — The young upstart, is mentored by Michael and Trevor. Tends to mediate during group disputes.
  • Superego: Michael — Group's leader and strategist. Also a Retired Badass and the only one of the three who wants to move on from a life of crime.
  • Id: Trevor — Ax-Crazy, impulsive, unpredictable, driven entirely by emotion and/or libido.

• Halo
  • Halo 3:
    • Id: The Arbiter — Driven by rage against the Prophets' betrayal, hunting Truth for revenge, and honor.
    • Ego: Sgt. Johnson — His professionalism as a soldier and ability to mediate certain factions are combined with his loud demeanor and fondness for shotguns.
    • Superego: Master Chief — Cool as the other side of the pillow, stoic as can be, and all work.

• Heavy Rain:
  • Id: Ethan Mars — Emotional desire to save his son, can be short-tempered
  • Superego: Norman Jayden — Smart, logical, and barely gets emotional
  • Ego: Madison Paige — Calm headed and strategic, goes with being a journalist

• Hidden City has the three members of the Security Service, although they tend to work in pairs rather than in threes (unless you count the Player Character, who is mostly just a Pinball Protagonist anyway). Kira and Rayden frequently partner up in various missions, while Rayden often serves as a support for Mr. Black in his investigations. Black occasionally delegates tasks to Kira as well, but for the most part, they work independently from each other.
  • Id: Kira is a Hot-Blooded Action Girl who is apparently the main muscles of the group. Very keen on action, she is the most likely to circumvent the law to achieve her goals, and even conspired with the scavengers behind her leader's back because she considered his methods ineffective.
  • Superego: Mr. Black. He's primarily concerned with keeping law and order in the Upper City and has little patience for anything else. Rayden describes him as someone who only believes in facts, and he's the least likely to reveal personal information about himself.
  • Ego: Rayden is The Heart of the group. Friendly and sociable, he remains mostly compliant to Black's instructions even when he doesn't always agree with them, although he'd sometimes side with Kira if he thinks that Black has gone too far in his harsh execution of justice.

• Kingdom Hearts: The series makes a theme of this trope, with most of the main cast belonging to at least one trio, and the sword/shield/staff analogies in each (even if the sword/shield/staff trinity don't always correspond to the ego/id/superego). The series even make character trios from Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, and etc.

  • The three head Dark Lords of the Sith Triumvirate.
    • Superego: Darth Traya, Lord of Betrayal, is a manipulator par excellence and an adherent of subtlety who seeks a psychological victory rather than a physical one, which is why the other two turned on and exiled her.
    • Id: Darth Nihilus, Lord of Hunger, is more of a destructive force of nature than a person, caring more about satiating his endless hunger for Force energy than conquest or the conflict between the Jedi and the Sith.
    • Ego: Darth Sion, Lord of Pain, is brutal and frustrated by Traya's abstractiveness, but has retained human perspective and awareness in contrast to Nihilus, taking no joy in his painful existence and wanting to "fix" the galaxy.

• League of Legends — The Kinkou Order ninjas, especially in terms of how to deal with their Arch-Enemy Zed.
  • Id: Kennen — He's the youngest, most hyperactive member, and also serves as The Heart, he's willing to give the evil ninja Zed forgiveness... if he genuinely asked them.
  • Superego: Akali — Rigorously trained ever since young age to 'Do what must be done, regardless of the cost', she's the one who will probably do amoral things to protect balance... and also wants Zed dead no matter the cost, considering him unworthy of forgiveness.
  • Ego: Shen — He's the leader of the Kinkou Order and always have the final say in their decisions, as his job is to preserve balance and making the fairest decisions. He's thinking of an alternate way to deal with Zed.

• Legend of Legaia invokes this with the player party
  • Ego: Vahn — Although he shows only limited personality, he's clearly presented as being straightforward, steadfast, and heroic.
  • Id: Noa — She is both hyper and impulsive — a girl literally raised by a wolf (who was a Ra-Seru). She shows little regard for social convention beyond her often simple views of right or wrong.
  • Superego: Gala — Always the one to admonish Noa when she gets out of hand, Gala is the most intellectual and disciplined of the group, as he was raised a Warrior Monk.

• The Legend of Zelda, even though one of the three is the villain. Probably played straight with the goddesses, who represent each of them. It's even kind of lampshaded because of the Triforce.

    • Superego: Konoha Shizumi — The most level-headed of the three girls who has strong distrust with other magical girls except for Ayame and Hazuki.
  • Ui and her friends:
    • Id: Touka — an Insufferable Genius who tends to throw tantrums when things don't go her way.
    • Ego: Ui — usually the one who gets the other two to stop arguing with each other. Her being missing in the main story is why their methods as the Magius became increasingly extreme, at least until Iroha restored their memories.
    • Superego: Nemu — her literary expertise contrasts with Touka's knowledge about astronomy and neurology, and she is usually more reasonable than her.

• Mass Effect — the human party

  • And the villains:
    • Id: Saren — Impulsive, violent, and volatile, as well as completely dominated by his feelings and later those of Sovereign.

    • Superego: Sovereign — Operates entirely on a logic that is impossible for beings of flesh to understand.

• Mass Effect 2 — "Team Cerberus"
  • Id: Shepard — Just woke up after being dead for two years, and is highly confused and off-balance.
  • Ego: Jacob — Careful, cautious, and something of a moderating influence, though he's still a very warm and friendly person.
  • Superego: Miranda — Calm, cold, and overly logical.
  • "Team Shepard" (Shepard, Garrus, and Tali)
    • Ego: Shepard — No matter how you play, both Renegade and Paragon are a balance between the two.
    • Id: Garrus — During the two years between the first and second games, Garrus threw out all rules and regulations to become a vigilante and hunt down the galaxy's worst criminals.
    • Superego: Tali — Though she does occasionally act on her impulses (her interactions with Legion and her romance with Shepard, for example) she generally takes a "needs of the many" approach, even if it involves facing exile and/or covering up her father's war crimes.

• Mass Effect 3 — The three Alliance authority figures (Anderson, Udina, and Hackett)
  • Id: Udina — Emotional, irrational, hates not getting his own way, but will fight tooth and nail for what he thinks is right (for him).

  • Superego: Zero — The coldest of the bunch, only concerned in missions, likes to take shoot-first-ask-questions-later approach. It's all a facade, though.
  • Id: Axl — Likes to get on X's and Zero's nerves, and is also very eager and interested in fighting; but also the warmest of the three.

• Mega Man Zero:
  • La Résistance Combo Trio:

  • Les Enfants Terribles
    • Id: Liquid Snake — Large Ham Psychopathic Manchild who is brash and impulsive. He cares about nothing more than petty revenge for his brother Solid Snake getting better genes than him which he's actually wrong about anyway. His motivations are, in his own words, "I'll (just) do what my genes tell me."
    • Superego: Solidus Snake — Cold, calculating Well-Intentioned Extremist with a level of cunning that even let him become the President of the United States. However, his lack of compassion leads him to cold-hearted actions such as attempting to nuke Manhattan and killing Olga Gurlukovich just because she wasn't willing to sacrifice her child for his cause.
    • Ego: Solid Snake — Philosophical, yet genuinely cares about his close friends such as Otacon, Gray Fox, and Raiden. This makes him the only heroic child of Big Boss because Liquid lacks his maturity and Solidus lacks his compassion.
• Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater:
  • Ego: Naked Snake/ Big Boss — Calm, cautious but quite naive at first. He was in the dark, towards The Boss's intentions and history. Eventually grows a more cynical nature, towards his superiors after dealing with the Cobra Unit, the KGB and Volgin.

• Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain:
  • Id: Kazuhira Miller — Quickest to anger, most driven by revenge, wants Snake to kill even when he doesn't have to (such as Quiet).
  • Superego: Ocelot — Even with his Magnificent Bastard qualities from the rest of the series HEAVILY toned down, he still remains the calmest and most rational thinker of the group and often serves as a voice of reason for Snake.
  • Ego: Venom Snake — Balances Miller's emotional appeals with Ocelot's logical appeals and tends to be the final decision-maker as The Leader.
  • The XOF Operatives (excluding Quiet):
    • Id: The Man on Fire/ Volgin — A searing embodiment of danger and destruction. The intimidating memory of an equally violent former foe.
    • Superego: Tretij Rebenok/Psycho Mantis — The ominous red-headed child, who (unlike his adult self) kept silent and served XOF as a haunting figure of sorts.
    • Ego: Skullface — XOF's mysterious leader with a profound, nihilistic nature. He interacts most with his troops and other characters, cunningly deceiving the heroes out of revenge.

• Metroid:
  • Factions
    • Superego: The Chozo, a since-departed ancient race of advanced, enlightened beings

    • The Space Pirates' obsessive desire for galactic conquest land them in this role roughly as often than the Metroids themselves.
    • Ego: Humans, somewhere between the two extremes. By the time Fusion begins, Samus represents all three groups (not including the Space Pirates, of course).
  • Space Pirate Leadership
    • Id: Kraid — a massive, raging beast whose main contribution to the Space Pirate forces is sheer muscle
    • Ego: Ridley — probably the series's closest thing to an individual Big Bad, whose sadistic bloodlust is balanced out by his brilliant tactical and leadership skills
    • Superego: Mother Brain — a malevolent supercomputer (built by the aforementioned Chozo, no less), coldly manipulating her subordinates for the sake of her dispassionate aim to "set the universe back to zero"
  • Aether conflict
    • Superego: Luminoth — a peace-loving, technologically advanced race similar to the Chozo (Superego)
    • Id: Ing — transdimensional shadow monsters with no technology of their own, but the power of Demonic Possession and a fierce desire for galactic domination
    • Ego: Space Pirates / Galactic Federation / Samus, a third party caught between the other two warring sides^note the Pirates can't be seen as the Id here not only because the Ing outclass them, but because their presence is little more than a small Phazon-mining outpost with no immediate destructive intent

  • Id: Gabe is the book dumb bare-knuckle brawler who relies on impulse.

• Sengoku Basara:
  • Sanada Yukimura: (Id), Date Masamune (Ego), and Katakura Kojuro (Superego).

• Shin Megami Tensei has a classic case of this in the beginning, though eventually things get worse and the player, as the Ego, is forced to either side with one of the remaining members of the trio against the other, or reject them both. Anyway, while the trio's still together, it goes...
  • Law Hero (Superego), Neutral Hero (Ego), and Chaos Hero (Id).

• Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey has a similar case:
  • Superego: Zelenin — A scientist who often acts as a voice of reason, but refuses to even consider things that violate her principles. Winds up as the main representative of the Law faction.
  • Id: Jimenez — A Hot-Blooded Jerkass who thinks everyone should be allowed to do what they want. Ends up as the Chaos hero.
  • Ego: Arthur — The ship's computer, which is completely rational and always prioritizes the crew's and humanity's survival above all else.
  The protagonist can side with any of the three, depending on his decisions.

• Solatorobo: Red the Hunter:
  • Id: Red Savarin— generally comes across as an Idiot Hero who prefers to solve problems through brute-force solutions using the Dahak, but also has the capacity to empathize with others and adapt to new situations.
  • Ego: Chocolat Gelato— acts as a more level-headed Mission Control to Red when he's doing both odd jobs and saving the world, as well as being the pilot for their ship and the one managing their finances, but also cheerful and feminine in her own right, and acting as the mediator between Red and Elh at one point.
  • Superego: Elh Melizée— acts as an aloof and stoic contrast to Red when they're in the field together (clashing with him more harshly than Chocolat does), along with being driven entirely by her past and duty as a Paladin compared to how Red and Chocolat live freely in the present; even being willing to make the choice to sacrifice Red's life for the greater good before her growing connection to the two causes her to hesitate and later feel guilty about it.

• Sonic the Hedgehog:
  • Team Sonic:
    • Id: Sonic the Hedgehog, the driving force and face of the trio. He has a strong sense of justice and helping others, but he's also impatient and driven by his personal desire to do what he wants to do, preferring to trust his gut when it comes to solving problems and "just living by [his] own feelings". He has a circular head shape representing his freedom-loving and energetic nature.
    • Ego: Miles "Tails" Prower, the strategist and inventor of the trio. He's a cheerful tinkerer who acts as both the friendly mediator and strategist for the team, but he's sometimes anxious regarding his place in the team and as Sonic's wingman, wanting to be "strong", "trusted" and "cool" like the hedgehog he's always looked up to, even if in his own unique way. He has a more squared head shape representing his intelligence and earnest personality.
    • Superego: Knuckles the Echidna, the powerhouse and skilled fighter of the trio. Has a strong sense of honesty and commitment, but his sometimes stubborn dedication to stick to his principles and "fight for [his] destiny" causes him to misjudge a number of situations, giving those like Eggman the chance to manipulate him sometimes. He has a more triangular and pointed head shape representing his rigid and serious temperament.
  • Team Rose:
    • Id: Amy Rose— the team's "gut"; a bombastic and determined go-getter who knows exactly what she wants and also does "whatever comes to [her] naturally", but far more passionate, emotional and romantically-minded than even Sonic, while still being an uplifting and caring leader to her friends when needed.
    • Ego: Big the Cat— the team's "heart"; a simple-minded, "simply natural" and childlike Gentle Giant who would love to spend his days just fishing and relaxing, but one very caring towards his friends, never one to judge or criticize, and won't hesitate to help out no matter how dangerous the journey is.
    • Superego: Cream the Rabbit— the team's "brain"; an overly polite, heavily rule-abiding and sweet little girl who even shows courtesy towards her enemies, but often naive and simple-minded at times due to her young age.
  • Dr. Eggman and his two assistant robots:
    • Id: Cubot— the doctor's slow, dim-witted and lazy lackey who would probably want to do anything else besides the work Eggman gives him and Orbot.
    • Ego: Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, and how— a very ambitious, hard-working and diligent "genius at heart" whose brilliant schemes are often done in through a varying mixture of underestimating Sonic and friends along with reveling too much in his own egomania or childish tendencies. Has a large rounded body inverting Sonic's rounded head to show off his self-adoration and larger-than-life personality.
    • Superego: Orbot— clearly more obedient and reliable than Cubot, but can often see the holes in his boss' plans while usually snarking back at him for them, though only to the degree that it doesn't trigger Eggman's full wrath.
  • Team Dark:
    • Id: E-123 Omega— his robotic thinking only serves to make his line of reasoning all the more straightforward, and his select way of solving problems is to shoot on sight everything he considers a hindrance (particularly Eggman and all his other "inferior" creations), polite conversations be damned.
    • Ego: Rouge the Bat— a charismatic thief and treasure hunter who's "ready to gamble" with whatever she's given, and is the most socially intelligent of the three despite having frequently greedy and selfish desires, having worked to keep the team together from the beginning.
    • Superego: Shadow the Hedgehog— motivated to prove himself as the Ultimate Life Form, seeks to accomplish his goals by any means necessary regardless if they involve "obliterating anything that's not [his] friend", and tends towards being quiet and emotionally distant, even to his teammates.
  • Team Chaotix:
    • Id: Charmy Bee— the incredibly hyperactive Bratty Half-Pint of the team, frequently getting on his co-workers' nerves, but useful in "dishing out first sting" when face-to-face with a fight.
    • Ego: Vector the Crocodile— the brains, brawn and upstanding "karma collector" leading the team, whose boisterous personality and hunger for money are balanced out by his top-notch detective skills.
    • Superego: Espio the Chameleon— the disciplined ninja, scout and straight man of the team, using stealth and strategy to outwit any adversary, and "clearly ready to go" when it comes to doing a job and doing it right.
  • The Babylon Rogues:
    • Id: Storm the Albatross— the dim, clumsy and purely physical muscle of the group, having blind loyalty to Jet in contrast to Knuckles' more independent nature.
    • Ego: Jet the Hawk— the arrogant, greedy and self-centered leader who contrasts Sonic's jovial nature by being more irresponsible and petty, and very eager to "rattle [the] nest" of anyone who dares to challenge him on being the fastest thing alive.
    • Superego: Wave the Swallow— the group's mechanic and the one keeping their operation running, irritated by both Storm and Jet for their frequently short-sighted decisions, but contrasting Tails' earnest nature by being rather devious and arrogant herself.

• Soul Series Like many other Fighting Game series' this series also has examples like this...
  • (Kilik's Team)

    • Id: Kaoru — an energetic Idol Singer with a fervent love for the supernatural.
    • Superego: Seiji — a cruel-minded sceptic who uses social manipulation to get his way.
    • Ego: Akira — a stoic fighter who's more pragmatic than Kaoru, but more willing to deal with the supernatural than Seiji, and thus mediates between the two when their differing viewpoints cause them to bicker.
  • The Second Team:
    • Id: Ban — an unethical gambling addict who can be reckless and over-the-top in his pursuit for information.
    • Superego: Rosé — a mysterious, sneaky woman who's as calm and collected as can be.
    • Ego: Akira, again — his stoicism balances out against Ban's emotional side, while his proclivity for violence contrasts him with Rosé.

  • (Ryu, Ken, and Gouken)
    • Superego: Ryu — Calm and very studious man who takes his training very seriously in which sometimes he takes it too seriously

    • Id: Balrog — Hyper-aggressive, greedy, vulgar

• The Wind sisters from Strider, more so in Strider (2014) than in older games since two of them now have characterization:
  • Id: P/Bei Pooh is the most carefree and reckless of the trio, fighting on her own and taking pleasure in murdering.
  • Superego: Ton(g) Pooh is the leader of the trio, imparting her master's orders and pushing them forward as a team.
  • Ego: Nang Pooh is the "foundation" of the team and the one who takes great efforts in keeping her sisters under check while in the heat of battle.

  • Superego: Jaguar — Reporter who saved Ulala's life when she was a child turned rogue who calls himself the "voice of truth."

  • Superego: Protoss — Highly structured society, strong rules and customs. Tends to be the most righteous.
  • Id: Zerg — Driven by instinct, with an overall goal of absorbing other life-forms and evolving into biological perfection.

    • Id: Tychus Findlay — Just there to fight and have fun.
    • Ego: Jim Raynor — The balance between Horner and Findlay. Wants to see the revolution reach its goals, but also wants revenge on Mengsk.
  • Kerrigan's Swarm (Heart of the Swarm):
    • Superego: Alexei Stukov — Acts as the voice of reason to Kerrigan and offers her insights as a fellow infested human.
    • Id: Zagara — Terse, rude and bloodthirsty, she enjoys Kerrigan's rampage of revenge a little too much at times.
    • Ego: Sarah Kerrigan — Torn between wanting to crush Mengsk and the Dominion out of revenge, and keeping the Zerg swarm in check in order to atone for her past crimes.
  • The Daelaam (Legacy of the Void):
    • Superego: Karax — Logical and scientific, his generally calm demeanor sets him apart from the bigger (and weirder) personalities that make up Artanis's alliance.
    • Id: Alarak — Venal, self-serving, and comically chaotic, he constantly tries to get Artanis to Do Wrong, Right.
    • Ego: Artanis — The only one who can pull the disparate factions of the fractured Protoss empire together, and maybe keep them all from killing each other just for the hell of it as they fight to stop Amon.
  • The endgame alliance:
    • Superego: Artanis — Stoic, fair-minded and focused. His rigidness is both a strength and a weakness and tends to cause as many problems as it solves.
    • Id: Kerrigan — Emotional, conflicted, and direct. Her moral flexibility allows her to consider more options for victory but often leads to her making poor choices.
    • Ego: Raynor — Charismatic, humble, and sincere. His love and friendship for both Kerrigan and Artanis bridge the gap between them and help all three of them achieve a complete victory by working together.

  • This also applies to the three plumbers:
    • Superego: Luigi — Timid, cautious, and shown to be more self-restrained than his older brother, but also brave and heroic when the time calls for it.
    • Ego: Mario — Although short-tempered, albeit a little impulsive and competitive at times, he is mostly a kind-hearted and brave hero with a cheerful demeanor and a positive and humble attitude overall, willing to help those in need without hesitation.
    • Id: Wario — Crude, greedy, and hot-tempered, but is shown to help others at times (if not for his own benefit).

• Team Fortress 2: Pyro, Soldier and Heavy as Id, Scout, Demoman and Sniper as Ego, and Engineer, Medic and Spy as Superego.

• Tekken — Though we never see all 3 of them together in-game and everyone's off fighting their own battles, these 3 have been seen in some promotional work.
  • Superego: Jin — Calm and calculating, despite his paternal heritage. (Superego, though he does become Id when involved with family matters or in Devil mode)
  • Ego: Xiaoyu — Tries to keep Jin in line and sane, but is also very energetic.
  • Id: Hwoarang — Always gets into fights much to his master Baek's behest, and is always seeking a rematch with Jin.

• Touhou Project:
  • Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom:
    • Marisa (Id), Reimu (Ego), and Sakuya (Superego).
  • Undefined Fantastic Object has Sanae in place of Sakuya.
    • Debatable. Especially for Sanae, wherein one path she becomes "obsessed" with youkai hunting.
  • The Magician Trio, in fanon:
    • Superego: Patchouli — Deadpan Snarker Badass Bookworm whose library is the common hangout for the other two and whose books are frequently "borrowed" by Marisa.

    • Id: Marisa — Rude, Hot-Blooded, and a notorious thief, yet fanon portrays her as a girl magnet and essentially the one who Patchouli and Alice frequently fight over.

• The Ultima series — Though the Avatar and Companions can be shuffled a number of ways, the trio that stands out are The Avatar, Iolo, and Shamino. The majority of the games begin with the three of them together, and in all games Iolo and Shamino receive more dialog and plot significance.
  • Id: Iolo — Bard and the model of Compassion. Tends to instinct and occasional crankiness, artistic temperament, and the only character with a lifelong love through the series.
  • Superego: Shamino — Ranger and the model of Spirituality. Though he can be a man of action, tends toward meditation, communion with nature and the higher order of human consciousness.

  • Id: Chara — Manifests only if the player takes a violent route through the game.
  • Superego: Asriel — Manifests only if the player takes a peaceful route through the game.
  • Ego: Frisk — The only character who can bridge the gap between Chara and Asriel.

• Valkyrie Profile — The conflicting natures of the three valkyries is not the focus, but it is a central part of their development, especially in the second game. They are even described as separate components of one greater being.
  • Superego: Hrist — Harsh, dutiful, gets the job done (labeled by Freya as the secondary ego).
  • Ego: Lenneth — Balanced (labeled by Freya as the primary ego).
  • Id: Silmeria — Emotional, rebellious

• The World Ends with You:
  • Neku's Partners
    • Id: Beat — Tends to rely on brute force, often gets mocked for his lack of critical thinking skills by pretty much everyone, even himself sometimes, and for good reason.
    • Superego: Joshua — Most detached from how other people feel, and secretly The Chessmaster of the entire game to boot.
    • Ego: Shiki — Appeals to both Neku's humanity and his logic to do the right things.
  • Game Masters
    • Id: Higashizawa — Most overtly violent and only really cares about food, hence all of his food puns.

    • Superego: Minamimoto — Intelligent to such a degree that it only comes out as insanely complicated math equations. He seems to have trouble making sense to most other people because of this.

• World of Warcraft — The major racial leaders of the various factions.
  • The Horde
    • Ego: Thrall — Charismatic and far-sighted leader struggling mightily to redeem his race and do the right thing, in spite of impossible odds. Balances the necessities of the Horde with the demands of its people.
    • Superego: Sylvanas Windrunner — Coldly calculating Dark Lady of the Forsaken, breaking her quiet brooding only rarely in moments of extreme hatred and loss, over the terrible events that have created her newfound people.
    • Id: Garrosh Hellscream — Brash, an arrogant young orc with a sense of invincibility-both personal, and of the Horde. Extremely aggressive, often disregarding the counsel of Thrall and the other leaders to act with caution and reason.
  • The Alliance
    • Id: Varian Wrynn — Hotheaded human king with a vendetta against the Horde, orcs in particular. Slow to use reason or negotiation, but not without, and often violent. Having two minds in one body, sometimes approaches situations with an unpredictable sense of honor. Some traces of Superego but mostly Id.
    • Superego: Prophet Velen — Quiet, methodical leader gifted with prescience and wisdom, carefully plotting the best course for his people and the rest of the world, no matter what happens.
    • Ego: Tyrande Whisperwind — Struggles to deal with internal problems before worrying about the Alliance and attempting to guide the night elves through the new series of endless wars with diligence and respect for the old ways.
  • Northrend Forces
    • Id: Tirion Fordring (Argent Crusade) — Trusts in the light and the forces of righteousness with unshakable faith, refusing to employ questionable means on account of the moral ambiguity. Perhaps the single greatest paladin alive.
    • Superego: Darion Morgraine (Knights of the Ebon Blade) — Ruthlessly pragmatic fallen hero, liberated from the Lich King's control but still employs all the dark and forbidden knowledge and techniques he learned as a death knight. Does not recognize or value such follies as honor, righteousness, or valor. Only results count.
    • Ego: Alexstrasza (Wyrmrest Accord) — Operates by unknowable rules, wielding an Omniscient Morality License, but also deeply compassionate, and willing to work even with races that have done horrific wrongs to dragonkind.
  • Player Versus Environment (PvE) Groups
    • Ego: Tank — Initiates the fight and holds the attention of enemies.
    • Id: DPS — Inflicts most of the damage on the boss.
    • Superego: Healer — Heals damage received by the group.

• Warcraft 3 has a few as well:
  • Night Elf leaders, Reign of chaos
    • Superego: Tyrande — strong sense of who should or shouldn't be allowed in the forest, more traditional.
    • Ego: Furion — More flexible, willing to work with outsiders.
    • Id: Illidan — Seems somewhat erratically driven by a desire for power and anger.
  • Orc leaders, Reign of chaos
    • Id: Grom Hellscream — Aggressive, would rather fight than negotiate.
    • Superego: Cairne — Calmer, more protective of others.
    • Ego: thrall — Handles pressures from both directions.
  • Human leaders, Reign of chaos.
    • Id: Arthas — Impulsive, driven by a desire for revenge.
    • Superego: Uther — Moralistic, follows laws and customs quite closely.
    • Ego: Jaina — Ends up in the middle, personality-wise. Unlike most examples, she is in a lot of ways less powerful than the superego and id, but she does make a major decision after seeing both of the other two make arguments and decisions.
  • Night elf leaders, Frozen throne
    • Id: Maiev — Becomes obsessed with tracking down Illidan.
    • Superego: Tyrande — the one who most remembers previous alliances and morality (see missions 6-8).
    • Ego: Furion — Seems to end up making most of the overall decisions. Also is again the most flexible.

• Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War — The three warring factions on Davinuus:
  • Superego: Eldar — Puritanically devoted to the Path, to the point of suppressing almost all emotions. As such, both principled and coldly logical.
  • Id: Tyranid — Intelligent and devious, but fundamentally dominated by appetite, and the need to devour everything.
  • Ego: Imperium — Passionately dedicated to the service of the Emperor, emotional but committed to order.
    • One could argue that the three subdivisions among the Imperial forces, the Imperial Guard, the Space Marines, and the Sisters of Battle, form a sub-trio, but the game itself does not really develop the personalities of the three Imperial forces to that extent, so one would have to draw on knowledge from the rest of the setting. In that case, the Space Marines would probably be the superego, the Sisters of Battle would probably be the id, and the Imperial Guard would probably be the ego.

• Warriors Orochi:
  • You can choose to set up your team of 3 officers like this given the series' swap-in battle system, but Warriors Orochi 3 starts the player with a team of three officers set up in this way.
    • Ma Chao, hotblooded and emotional warrior (Id)
    • Sima Zhao, anxious but reassuring mediator (Ego)
    • Hanbei Takenaka, laid-back and logical strategist (Superego)

• Xenoblade Chronicles:
