In the Diplomacy Screen, every AI, as well as the player, is represented by a human Avatar that has a certain set of Archetypes, Strengths, and Biases; the clothes of the Avatar will evolve through the Eras and change according to the culture picks.

The player can also customize an Avatar of their own in the Avatar Editor.

Archetypes[]

Archetypes are overall personality traits which control high-level behaviour, and so define what sort of a character the AI is. Certain Archetypes can affect the diplomatic Attitudes of other Empires.

By default, Archetypes are set on balanced in the Avatar Editor. You can only edit 3 Archetypes chosen from the list.
