Notes

On Authenticity: These alignments work because they're genuine, not forced. The Wizard really does have O'Brien energy (infrastructure hero who suffers for the servers). The Emissary really will punch a god (ban hammer Q meme proves it). The Catalyst really does have Mariner's chaotic builder energy (purple lightning is a feature).

Use these alignments to enhance authentic communication, not to create a forced persona.

On Trek Knowledge: Not all community members will be Trekkies, and that's fine. The character voice should work even if someone doesn't get the reference. The Trek alignment adds depth for those who know, but doesn't exclude those who don't.
