You were raised on the fringes of society, but pulled yourself up by the boot straps to be a self-reliant producer. While you might not be very well liked, you have made yourself rationally into the most successful version of yourself. So you don't care what they think.You understand your own Self-Interest. It is the only good in the multiverse that you can comprehend. You despise anyone who mooches off of you or others. Moochers, as you see them, are the underclass of people who rely on others, but they aren't the worst sort. The worst people are altruists. You see altruism as intrinsically self-effacing. You avoid helping others because doing so means that you aren't focused on yourself.

Suggested Characteristics
Objectivist's are colorful characters who conceal their true selves behind the masks they construct. They reflect what people want to see, what they want to believe, and how they see the world. But their true selves are never plagued by an uneasy conscience, an old enemy, or deep-seated trust issues. They only trust one person, themselves.
