I wonder - does anyone else have a character archetype (so, something that is somewhat defined and common in media) that they rarely see in RPs?

I feel like I almost never see "Big Burly Manly-man with Family they love to talk about" at all.

Guilty as charged, I like the typical edgelord archetypes a lot. Namely sneaky-sneak assassin rogue thief bastards when they're played well, so basically when the "jerk with a heart of gold" emphasizes the JERK and isn't just an excuse for prettyboy romancebait to wear black. But I've played everything from a warlord who conquered an empire (and promptly got fat and cheated on his queen with busty elf maidens despite her being a wonderful person who didn't deserve it and their marriage being perfectly stable), to a cowardly history buff who fangirled over his favorite figures while said conquest happened around him, to a Minnesota Vikings fan who got contracted into hitman work entirely by accident, to a grumpy stoner who kept back-of-house running smoothly at a cringey maid cafe, so I guess I'll try anything? 

I do wish more RP's accommodated non-combat roles. I've been denied before when trying to apply as another character's grandma who worries over his health and embarrasses him in front of the rest of the party and feeds them cookies. And that just makes me sad.
