So every character is based off of an idea right? They often end up falling into some sort of stereotype, or you can slap a label on their forehead and say "Yep, that's my character". I want to know what your character's stereotype/archetype is!
I'll go first to show you what I mean:
Ivy: The Mom Friendtm
Kai: Your almost average "boy next door" except hes got secrets
Forrest: Anxiety and panic filled boi
Fern: The overly happy and annoying one
Rain: Tired Nerd but hes 12
Anyways, thats kind of what I had in mind! Not sure if this will flop or not but oh well, I thought it would be interesting haha.
Well, to be fair, most characters can fall into some sort of archetype.
Cyrus: My very anxious boy, but he's also filled with rage and hatred.
Moreau: Royal retainer who's super protective, but also in love with his liege (oops romance tropes)
Ignis: Soft librarian. They love reading and writing, and they're incredibly helpful and kind
Fiera: Princess with family problems, doesn't want to be royalty
The list goes on, because every fictional character pretty much can be broken down to a simple description like this.
