OS Elements for MC

Rather than worrying about differentiating objectivity, just tie the element somehow to the Story Goal.

e.g. If the Element is Consider and the Goal is “becoming great bakers”, maybe the character is saying “come on, let’s give Dirty Jim’s Baking School a try. I know it looks dodgy but it’s the only one we can afford!”

Or for Oppose, the character says “are you kidding? that’s the third rat I’ve seen at this school today. this whole thing was a terrible idea!”

Meanwhile, you could have the MC’s personal issues coming out at the same time. “it’s tough learning to bake with only one arm” (Universe) or “please God, let Clara like my cookies enough that she’ll finally go on a date with me” (Mind).
