Sinners EGO themes and throughlines

(not comprehensive, because some Sinners don't have very similar EGOs, or don't have very much at all, or I just haven't spotted the themes. Am also including EGO "gear", aka stuff that's part of identities, not just ones in the EGO slot)

Ishmael: Guiding/pathfinding/lighting the way ("Come on… This way!"(Capote) and "Though I can’t guide you..."(Ardor Blossom)), loss of control/intoxication (Roseate Desire, Sloshing Identity)

Hong Lu: Being lost or adrift, as well as other "worlds". ("World of wonders..." (Land of Illusion), "To bound over to the next world" (Dimension Shredder), the Soda kidnapping boat)

Meursault: Chains, imprisonment, judgement. (Chains of Others, Forsaken Murderer, the chains that appear during Capote and the fact that Brazen Bull is a torture instrument, the Heavenly Scribe (Pursuance) dungeon event)

Heathcliff: Animals (AEDD, Telepole, Sunshower Identity), electricity/lightning (Bodysack background, AEDD, Telepole)

Outis: Distrust, pushing others away? (Ebony Stem's "Stem of Distrust" passive, "I don't need any pointless attention!" (Sunshower))

Gregor: Forests/nature (Legerdemain, Lantern), bugs (AEDD, Legerdemain)

Don Quixote: Animals (Fluid Sac, Telepole, Basilisoup, the horse skeleton shadow in Sangre de Sancho)

Rodya: has only two non-base EGO so not much to analyze but there is the fact that they are fire (Fourth Match Flame) and ice (Rime Shank, What is Cast) respectively
