In Paralives personalities are heavily impacted by a lot of different things, and will evolve with them as time goes on, as you are able to complete more of their wants, goals, and tasks around town.

Learn all about the different Paralives personality traits in this handy guide, as well as how to level up your Parafolk.

Personality Vibes

If you want Paralives personalities to be varied, that means selecting different vibes for each Parafolk.

There are five different vibes for you to choose from in Paramaker: Overjoyed, Gloomy, Energetic, Serious, and Jester.

Serious

Having a Para with a serious vibe will unlock unique together cards, like “introduce yourself in a serious manner” when meeting someone new.

Serious Parafolk can also benefit from the “in the zone” buff, where you will be able to ignore all your needs while levelling up a skill for a short period of time. It also increases your learning speed slightly.

Jester

Parafolk with the jester personality love cracking jokes, and can make other Parafolk feel amused more successfully.

They are also prone to mood swings, however, and will feel the effects of a random emotion every so often, which will last a few in-game hours. Sometimes they can also get a huge ten-point bonus to their learning speed, which can be really helpful!

As well as random emotion bonuses, these Parafolk will also have a fun need. There aren’t any negative consequences of having low fun, but having a full fun bar will make them much happier and less bored.

Energetic

Energetic Paras will have an energy surplus, which means they get tired less quickly than other Parafolk.

However, having a surplus of energy will make them stressed, so you need to give them outlets for it.

Gloomy

Gloomy Parafolk are sad more often than they are happy, or any other emotion for that matter. The big perk here is that when they do get sad it doesn’t negatively affect things like their skill gain or performance – in fact, it actually will give them a learning boost.

Overjoyed

Out of all the Paralives personalities, overjoyed provides the most bonuses overall.

They will be happier much more often, can make other Parafolk happy more often through together cards, and they also produce a happiness aura that impacts the people around them, even when they aren’t interacting with them.

Personality Perks

As well as vibes, Paralives personalities come with unique perks for you can use these to customise your Parafolk even further.

The five main perks are: Good at Being Alone, Good at Making Friends, Good at Taking Care of Others, Good at Romatic Relationships, and Good at Cooperating.

Good at Being Alone

As the name suggests, Parafolk with this perk thrive when they’re alone. They will also get a unique “Me Time” need metre which goes up when they spend time by themselves/not in a group.

Good at Making Friends

These Parafolk have much more successful and positive interactions, and build friendship levels faster.

Good at Romantic Relationships

Like the name suggests, these Parafolk will have better chances with romantic interactions and will get unique romantic together cards when talking to love interests.

Good at Taking Care of Others

Having a Para with this personality perk in your household is a great way to help manage the needs of others, they’ll be able to offer comfort to others and try and reduce their negative emotions.

It doesn’t necessarily make them more autonomous when it comes to caring for young Parafolk, you will still need to encourage them to manage babies and toddlers needs.

Good at Cooperating

This personality perk will make Parafolk happier when doing things in groups.

Special Talents

Special talents are a big part of Paralives personalities, and are one of the things which you can level up once you have enough points.

There are seven talents you can choose from: Jack-of-all-trades, Music, Fitness, Food, Technology, Art, and Good at Nothing

Music

The Parafolk with the music special talent will learn musical instruments and music theory faster than others without this talent, especially as they level up.

They also start out at a higher music level, meaning they also have higher application points to get a job in the music sector when starting out.

Good at Nothing

A good choice if you want a challenge!

Not only do Parafolk with the Good at Nothing trait fail at doing things more often, but as they level up, you will also be able to upgrade their personality to make their incompetence impact the skill gains and mood of the people around them.

Fitness

Parafolk with the fitness talent adore exercise, and their hygiene needs decay more slowly than other Parafolk. You’ll unlock more fitness benefits as they level up to help them with their gains.

They will also experience exercise-related wants to relieve their sadness, like levelling up in a fitness skill, and start with a fitness level of three instead of one.

Jack-of-All-Trades

Variety is the key in Paralives for anyone with the Jack-of-all-trades talent; they want a broad, versatile skill set rather than deep expertise in a single area.

As the saying goes, “Jack of all trades, master of none”.

Technology

Tech-loving Parafolk are happiest when they’re in front of a computer screen and enhancing their skills like programming, and will excel in careers which involve technology, like software development.

Parafolk will start with a base level of three instead of one in the technology skill with this talent.

Food

Parafolk with the food talent have a natural knack for cooking, and that shows right from the start as they begin having more recipes than other Parafolk.

They are also less likely to fail at cooking a recipe (but get really angry when they do).

Art

Artistic Parafolks love painting and being creative, and will start with a higher art skill than other Parafolk.

If you’re looking for the perfect talent to complement a rags-to-riches challenge, these Parafolk create artwork that also sells at a higher price than others.

Level Up Your Parafolk

In Paralives, the personalities of your Parafolk change and grow just as they do, and one reason for this is the levelling up feature that came with the game.

Looking at your starting stats at level one, you’ll see two slots for levelling up your Paralives personalities via their talent and vibe.

Levelling up your Parafolk and their personality starts with gaining enough XP to increase your level.

Gaining XP

Gaining XP can be done by completing wants, completing long-term goals, and also by completing tasks around town – these can all be found on the noticeboard, and they change daily, not all will offer an XP bonus.

Once you gain enough points, you’ll get the notification that you can now level up!

Once you choose to level up your Parafolk, you’ll be given three different options to choose between, all of which will link to either your vibe, perk, or special talent. The first time you level up, the options will always link to your talent.

Although you will be ‘levelling up’ your personality, not all of them will be positive! For example, levelling up your Good at Nothing perk will actually make you more incompetent, and give you an aura that impacts everyone around you.
