Cool question! I’m super sensitive to Hinder in real life. Do you know when my wife goes grocery shopping she often just leaves the cart in the middle of the aisle or any which way while she looks at produce or stuff on the shelf? I can’t stand that! It might be in people’s way! If I park the cart I always do my best to put it out of the way.
On escalators I don’t hesitate to ask people to move out of the way so I can go by. You don’t stop on regular stairs, why would you stop on an escalator?
Of course, I HATE red lights (but don’t most people)?
Okay, getting more serious now, you might have a character who is driven to not be burdened by anything (this can get close to Free/Uncontrolled, but that might work well if it’s a Universe character in that quad).
Also I was just looking at the storyform for the Matrix and wondering about Morpheus’s IC Problem (Drive) of Hinder. Here are a bunch of examples:
- He gives people the burden of the red pill, of knowing the truth
- Whenever he seems to help Neo, he always leads Neo to some big hindrance that he wants Neo to get past on his own. Guiding him through the cubicles away from Agents … to a scary window ledge that he has to leap across. In the jump simulator, asking him to jump across a huge chasm between bulidings. etc.
- He points out how Neo hinders himself: “You think that’s air you’re breathing now?”
Anyway, I hope you can see there are a lot of cool ways Hinder can be used. It doesn’t have to be the character getting in someone else’s way; it can be a sensitivity to burdens or other hindrances; pointing out hindrances; accepting burdens, etc.
