It would save us both precious time and possible grief. Default information aside, a forenote is that I have seen a lot of characters that exhausted my optimism for an enriched roleplay experience. You can still use them, as I am guilty of incorporating these archetypes in my roleplays as well (half of them inevitable when we need more drama, after all). Just be aware that I have seen enough to spin my own 1001 Arabian Nights about my firsthand experiences. They are unwelcome only when the narration is bland and linear, really. The [COLOR=#BBFFDD]clichéd tropes[/COLOR] are: [LIST] [*][B]Jerkass with a Heart of Gold, or The Villain You Can't Hate[/B] [SUP]"They can be rough around the edges and will not restrain with harsh comments, sometimes even antagonising others, vain too, but deep down they are kind to a fault. Despite how hateful they come off as, they are a loyal comrade worthy of tolerance, if not outright admiration." "He slaughtered a dozen victims, and it was later found that he was mentally unstable with the constant stream of flashbacks after his rejection by a love interest, who turned him down cruelly. Those people made fun of the exact same attribute his love interest was spurning, and so he taught them a lesson the hard way. He was ... hurting."[/SUP] [COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR] [*][B]Let's All Be Friends![/B] [SUP]"Please, stop fighting! Now stop ignoring one another. We should air the laundry and invite harmony into our lives. Can't everyone just get along? I want to see world peace ..."[/SUP] [COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR] [*][B]Emotionally Constipated, Fit for the Stereotypical Role[/B] [SUP]"Imagine a stuffy-collared profession notoriously known for uptight workers. I am such as well, in spades. In fact, it has been speculated that I skipped childhood and was born with 눈_눈 on my face."[/SUP] [COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR] [*][B]Death Spared Me, Survive with Guilt[/B] [SUP]"Something or some corporation massacred my people and I managed to escape death by a hair's breadth. As the only survivor, I need to avenge for my late family and fellow kins. Otherwise, I shouldn't have made it out alive. The way I live now is a form of punishment for being the only lucky one."[/SUP] [COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR] [*][B]Antisocial Butterfly[/B] [SUP]"I don't know why people keep flocking to me even though I have been a douchebag to them all the damn time. Maybe I'm actually some protagonist with an inherent magnet in my personality ... somewhere, somehow. I hate everyone but those oddballs just adore me."[/SUP] [COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR] [*][B]A Parent Died So It Changed Me Irredeemably[/B] [SUP]"I was a great kid, a happy child. My parents were proud of me, the neighbours loved me to bits. Then my mom died. I hated my father for not doing more to save her. I hated my neighbours for having a complete family. I couldn't cope with the loss, so I took the devil's hand and went downhill from there."[/SUP] [COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR] [*][B]Perfection and a Dollop of Quirk[/B] [SUP]"Anything I pick up, I'm just a born talent for it. Minimal effort at worst. I am not a Sue, darn you. I'm clumsy too! And stubborn! And gullible! I can't lick my elbows! See? *accidentally trips and kisses you*"[/SUP] [COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR] [*][B]Fearsome Badass, Fearsome Temper[/B] [SUP]"I am a master of weapons and a renowned disciple of mixed martial arts. Do not piss m- DID YOU JUST ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME? Cower, you moron. I guarantee you will soon forget how you ever urinated without a straw."[/SUP] [COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR] [/LIST]
