Character Archetypes
«

No matter how original a character may be, chances are, they suit a certain type of trope or role in a story. This could be a resemblance to an RPG class, token character, epic poems motif or just a fun character type.
For those who don't know, an archetype is a defined "stereotype" of a brand of character. For instance, characters such as Huckleberry Finn and Harry Potter may suit the male adolescent archetype of being particularly curious, troublemaking; yet benevolent young men. Or, the old wise man like Yoda, Gandalf, Master Roshi or Dumbledoor.
Some common general tropes could be The Hero, The Sidekick, The Lover, The Child, The Innocent, The Guardian, The Teacher, The Thief, The Poet, The Twins, The Freaks, etc.
More great references and examples:
A whole lotta cool ones!
So, do you think any of your characters fit any archetypes or tropes? Which ones? Perhaps they define a totally new personality?
As for my own OCs,
Scuttle: Jerk with a heart of gold, the catalyst, the wanderer
Pip: The mediator, yellow color motif, the innocent, extreme doormat, genius ditz
Lizard: The guardian, dragon, the outlaw
Enkidu: The birdman, the caregiver, the old guard, team mom (or dad in his case), the bard

Azura can literally switch personalities so quick so she's...pretty confusing to pin down honestly. Honestly, I can see her being The Maestro and The Defender.

I'm one to obsess over these kinds of things, what a great topic!
Most of my characters are not FH related, however I can definitely see Asylum fitting into three: The Anarchy, The Catalyst, and The Drama; based on the first pic.
