Another decision facing the group is that of the nature of the Needs and Wants of the The Batman. These are best decided in conjunction with considering the The Batman’s Type and Aspect, but in short, Needs are understood to be what the The Batman would have from the Townspeople. And Needs are something that necessarily threaten the Townspeople in some way...even if only by representing new ideas. It is the role of the minions to pursue these Needs on behalf of the The Batman, a role which positions the minion both situationally and thematically between the Townspeople and the The Batman. Needs also inform the roles the minions will play in the The Batman’s household. A The Batman who Needs human tissue samples for his work on the creation of artificial life might, for instance, have a minion who is a trusted homunculus. Perhaps he has a coachman and bodyguard for when he does field work. Or a lab assistant. And whereas Needs directly trigger instability in the society of the Townspeople, Wants are what the The Batman would have from the Outsiders.
