Committed Pathway
When a character adopts a Committed Pathway, they are locking in a certain aspect of the Archetype progress from the time of Character Inception. It is assumed that the character knows their historical and literary references of their Setting and have researched or thought out their decision deeply to arrive at the commitment; Or that they just have a primal instinct and dedication to their own vison of themselves. Either way, their commitment is obvious in thoughts and actions. This is recommended only for those with a complete character envisioning process well thought out; If the character deviates from this, they lose all of its benefits, and may have additional penalties.
