Too limiting for my purposes, everyone is to be inspired by patron/ancestor spirits in this setting so each "Inspired" individual will be just that, an individual.
The idea would be that each character is trying to live up to the ideals of those of his line that have come before, but there are as many family lines as characters.
The idea would be to make it possible to be a highly powered lying cheating coward, because you are embodying the ideal of a spirit that has gone before that happened to have that world view.
I'm hoping to work in the Tribe 8 "Eminence" style Magic I was talking about last week and tie it into the passions.
