[𝟙/𝟛] This profile is kind of a mess. Luther is a pretty standard social 6, especially within the context of season 3. E1 and social 6 however are quite similar in temperament, so let’s work it out in it’s entirety.   𝕃𝕌𝕋ℍ𝔼ℝ𝕊 ℂℍ𝕀𝕃𝔻ℍ𝕆𝕆𝔻   “𝔎𝔢𝔢𝔭 𝔬𝔫 𝔟𝔢𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔞 𝔩𝔬𝔶𝔞𝔩 𝔰𝔬𝔩𝔡𝔦𝔢𝔯 𝔞𝔣𝔱𝔢𝔯 𝔞𝔩𝔩 𝔱𝔥𝔞𝔱 𝔶𝔬𝔲𝔯 𝔣𝔞𝔱𝔥𝔢𝔯 𝔡𝔦𝔡 𝔱𝔬 𝔶𝔬𝔲. 𝔑𝔬 ℑ 𝔪𝔢𝔞𝔫 𝔱𝔲𝔯𝔫 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔬 𝔞 𝔪𝔬𝔫𝔰𝔱𝔢𝔯.”   Luther along his siblings grew up to become a super hero the world needed but he specifically was taxed by his father as the leader; number 1. From a young age there was therefore an immense responsibility on his shoulders whilst simultaneously receiving praise in a way the others did not. He got time with his father whilst the others did not and was the only one that stayed behind after Ben’s death. After an accident on a mission Luther is severely injured to the point of not surviving. The only way to prevent this is to use a injection that mutates him into a half ape. Not being able to stand the look of him, his father sends him to the moon, something Luther dutifully obliges. Luther as a character never rebels to his father and does everything to salvage the team he was supposed to be in his youth.   ℂ𝕆𝕄ℙ𝔸ℝ𝕀𝕊𝕆ℕ   “𝔚𝔢’𝔯𝔢 𝔡𝔦𝔣𝔣𝔢𝔯𝔢𝔫𝔱 𝔱𝔥𝔞𝔫 𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔯𝔶𝔬𝔫𝔢 𝔢𝔩𝔰𝔢. 𝔚𝔢’𝔯𝔢 𝔰𝔭𝔢𝔠𝔦𝔞𝔩. 𝔄𝔫𝔡 𝔤𝔬𝔬𝔡 𝔬𝔯 𝔟𝔞𝔡, 𝔱𝔥𝔞𝔱 𝔪𝔢𝔞𝔫𝔰 𝔴𝔢 𝔡𝔬𝔫’𝔱 𝔤𝔢𝔱 𝔱𝔬 𝔩𝔦𝔳𝔢 𝔫𝔬𝔯𝔪𝔞𝔩 𝔩𝔦𝔳𝔢𝔰. ℌ𝔢𝔯𝔢 𝔬𝔯 𝔞𝔫𝔶𝔴𝔥𝔢𝔯𝔢.”   The social 6 and E1 are both very principled types who follow the rules. They are hard working, dutiful and emotionally/instinctually disconnected. Their motivations for being so however, are quite different. Lets start with the E1   The E1 is the internalised anger point. They are the only type with both the same avoidance point and passion; anger. The E1 from a young age learns that perfection is a requirement. They were taught that there is a right way and a wrong way to be. This eventually leads to a passion towards anger:   “Ones have an idealized vision of how things could be perfect. They notice imperfection and become resentful. This resentment can slip out as biting, sarcastic humor. Ones are always a little angry. The anger leaks out in hyper-criticality and often manifests in muscular tension.”¹   This leads towards the fixation of resentment. The E1 has a very personal and passionate idea about how things should be and they themselves and others repeatedly do not correspond with that. Therefore they are constantly plagued by a resentment of the environment for not being as good as it should be to them. This leads them towards the trap of perfection. Because only perfection is expected whilst it being humanly impossible, the E1 is always frustrated with themselves and disappointed with the other.   Unlike the E1 who is focused on personal physical action, the E6 is in complete jeopardy when it comes to deciding. Their passion is that of fear. Constantly plagued by doubt, the 6 is paralysed on knowing how to act. Whilst the E1 is confident in it’s own righteousness, the E6 is scared of his own. Because of this fear, they seek out something greater than themselves to give them the reliability and security they so desperately desire. This reliance is called ego cowardice, a desire and need to follow something bigger than oneself. Because of this complete disconnection from safety the E6 can end up trapping themselves in security, never doing anything outside of the established.   A stark difference between the 2 types is its confidence in its own judgement. Whereas the E1s idealisation is their own righteousness, the E6s is loyalty:   “The idealization is, “I am righteous.” There is an idealized view of perfection that manifests as a strong, internalized moral code. The classic One historical period was Victorian England, where skirts were used to hide chair and sofa legs. This was also a time when the best pornography in the English language was written. Ones are often the censors who watch dirty movies all day to decide what is proper and appropriate for the general public.”¹   “The idealization of the Six is “I am loyal.” This begins at a very early age in the context of the family. This loyalty to the family often stays with Sixes throughout their lives. The loyalty also gets transferred to the group or organization. Sixes are team players. The feeling is “If we all do our jobs together we can get through this alive.” The feeling of sharing a foxhole in a warzone creates a deep bonding of loyalty in the Six.”¹   The difference within this is therefore that the E1 is critical of its environment feeling a need to contr it whereas the social 6 needs guidance to feel alright.
