Conformist
Archetype
The Conformist is a follower, taking another’s lead and finding security in the decisions of others. She prefers not to take charge, instead seeking to throw in with the rest of the group and lend her own unique aid. The
Conformist is drawn to the most dynamic personality or the individual she perceives to be the “best.” Being a Conformist is not necessarily a bad thing — every group needs followers to lend stability to their causes. Groupies, party voters, and “the masses” are Conformist Archetypes. Conformist Kindred can take many forms, from the ardent Sabbat pack member, to the Kindred who follows a Clan-first agenda, to the trusted supporters of a titled vampire or rising star.

Every team needs players. That’s what you’re there for. Let some other hotshot go for the glory; you’re the strong center that will hold no matter what comes. For obvious reasons, this is a common Technocratic Archetype. Other groups, however, have people like this too – it’s not a group, after all, if no one treats it as a team. As far as you’re concerned, stability is a virtue, not a fault.
Cooperation is your greatest strength. Your reliability stands as an example for others to follow. When malcontents try to tear things down, you’re the walls, floor, and foundation of your group. It’s not your place to call the shots, but if a plan makes sense, you’re the first one to follow through.
In the long run, though, your eternal Compliance cripples you. Sure, it’s great to provide support for other people’s work.
If you want to reach toward Ascension, you’ll need to know when and how to become your own boss. As long as you choose to be a cog, you’ll never leave the factory floor.
– Regain Willpower when you support an effort that goes according to plan because you were there to back it up.

The Conformist prefers not to take charge, instead seeking security in letting others give orders that she can follow. The Conformist may be the “beta” or middle manager to the most dynamic personality in a social setting, or she may prefer to follow along with her pack, right or wrong. This isn’t necessarily a weak Archetype; it can simply represent a desire to play a support role. Examples of Garou Conformists include tribal loyalists and packmates who enforce the pack leader’s role.
