Archetype Info Description: The Man in Charge succeeds through performance in a leadership role. By balancing between personal priorities and the priorities of the group he leads, he is able to provide security and promote the greater good for the members of his group. A Man in Charge is responsible for the ensuring the well being of the group and its members; he is often required to make decisions that set the direction the group will move in or what individual responsibilities will be. set boundaries for the group or for individual members, or make decisions in arguments between two or more characters

The Man in Charge is often motivated with a great degree of energy. Faced with a grim outcome or a difficult decision, as a heroic figure, the Man in Charge will portray, or at least fake confidence in his decisions and actions and impart this confidence to his subordinates. He often encourages his subordinates to play nicely with one another and to give their best for the the group The Man in Charge is thirsty for information. He consistently attempts to return the greatest profit for the lowest investment by asking questions, clarifying responses, balancing new information against past accounts, consulting with Experts and advisors and sponsoring expeditions.

He is also frequently pensive and understands that not only respect and approval are gained, not commanded, but also that sacrifice may be required As a leader who decides the agenda or sets goals, they sacrifice one reward or anger a particular charge in order to reach a particular goal As a result, they struggle between being effective and the need for approval. While outwardly presenting himself as decisive and in touch, the Man in Charge may privately doubt the cost of a particular point in the agenda or the consequences of staying the course when others doubt him. In order for him to understand those he leads (or even to escape the weight of his position), he tries to interact with them or to grapple with life without the luxury of his title. He also tries to prove that he is in touch with his constituency and that he understands the gravity of his position by taking part in common activities such as spending time on a farm or taking a vacation in disguise. He is curious to see how the "other half'A lives.

Styles:

Emperor An Emperor is a character for whom leadership position was prescribed for, regardless of his desire to lead Because power was bestowed on him, and because the power was determined for him by something other than a social contract, an Emperor is typically less attached (less fearful Because of this, he tends to be more self-centered, more dogmatic, more emotionally-motivated (and frequently more-rash) than an Elected Official. He also tends to understand less about the cost of power and the sacrifices needed to shepherd his charges than an Elected Official might. A central dramatic question for an Emperor often becomes whether he will assert his dominance as the rightful leader and whether, having lived a privileged life, his motivation to lead will be tempered by a sense of fairness. Another central question is whether an Emperor will be able to relate to the people he leads. If his subjects suspect that the position of a Emperor is held unfairly, and that hardships they experience are related to an inability to relate to them properly, they may become unruly and attempt to rebel against him.

Elected Official An Elected Official secures power by matter of circumstance, needs of the group, or by personal drive. His political authority is often tied to the people he leads, typically it derives from their confidence in him or their willingness to follow his leadership Once he has secured power, he typically must maintain his position by performing well and by defending his position from parties (either within his kingdom or outside of it) that seek to unseat him or otherwise do harm to his charges An Elected Official is frequently required to evaluate the consequences of his actions and compromise more than an Emperor is required to, typically focusing on the means needed to demonstrate effectiveness (and thereby secure approval). Qualities:

• Driven, Highly Motivated • Consistent • Organized • Patient with subordinates • Strong interpersonal skills • Strong sense of justice, fairness • Judicious

Flaws: • Authoritative

• Typically unyielding • Frequently judgmental • Frequently selfish, if safeguarding the throne is requisite of holding it • Sometimes overwhelmed or burnt out under the weight of his responsibility Background:

Why is the Man-in-Charge a leader, and what personal priorities does he need to balance in order to be an effective leader? Perhaps he was groomed for this position by his father or another authority figure in his life. Maybe he was jilted as a youth and has a chip on his shoulder to prove himself. Perhaps he was able to command the respect of his peers (for example, he is a skilled fighter or a particularly well-respected Expert), which made his leadership either apparent or necessary. Perhaps he inherited his position and must prove that he is fit to lead

Examples • Simba inThe Lion King: Simbas was raised by his father Mufasa with the intent that he would one day be the ruler of Pride Rock. After Mufasa is murdered by Scar, Simba, believing Mufasa’s death was his fault, attempts to flee his position, his responsibility as leader, any sense of personal responsibility to his characters like Nala, his mother Sarabi, and the natural order of the lands surrounding Pride Rock. Once Simba realizes that Scar has gravely mistreated the things and relationships he has taken for granted, and once he recognizes his resemblance to his father (and. associated with it, inheritance of both his father's role as king and his fathers leadership style), he also realizes that he must confront and defeat Scar in order to restore order to the kingdom Upon his return, friends and family members, who have not seen him for years, note his resemblance to his father. This recognition is frequently excites a sense of hopefulness. • Woody in Toy Story • Ralph in The Lord of the Flies • Zeus in Greek Mythology • Optimus Prime in Transformers

• Gordon Bombay in The Mighty Ducks • Oskar Schindler in Schindlers List: In Nazi-occupied Poland, Oskar Schindler uses his position as an Entrepreneur to save the lives of Jews working at his factory. Eventually his factory becomes a sort of haven during the Holocaust, where Schindler is able to protect his charges from persecution (and, eventually, from execution) by the Nazis. This effort eventually causes his business to go bankrupt Although a member of the Nazi party who, at the beginning of the film, hires Jewish workers solely for profit (because hiring them cost less), his experiences as president of the company move him to take elaborate measures, later using greed as a guise, in order to save the lives and increase quality of life, including allowing the workers to practice religion freely.

Archetype Info Description: A Rebel succeeds by appealing to. and utilizing, the selfish motivations of others. By challenging or circumventing other people or structures of power, he asserts his independence of traditional forms of control as well as circumvents the influence of corrupted institutions of power and order A Rebel typically seeks to remain as independent as possible, concerning himself as little as necessary with the people around him or the things that they value. He often challenges other characters, often, these are characters such as a Man in Charge, an Center of Influence, an Insider, or a Conformist, whose attitudes or positions could potentially impose a sense of control on him. They might want to judge him or discipline him. To a Rebel, control is stifling at the least; at the worst, it diminishes his confidence in his outlook or his actions, thereby becoming a sort of obscenity. In order to eschew control, a Rebel either ignores it or confronts it directly.

Unrestrained by and although often privy to conventional wisdom, his privy insights and ability to devise plans that conventional thinkers would not think of, or even believe, are absurd. Because behavior of this sort tends to make enemies, a Rebel works alone first. He is often wary of any sort of relationship that might require him to do something unnecessary or that circumvents his right to choose his own path for himself.

Credibility, especially the credibility he derives from refusing to conform, is a double-edged sword for a Rebel. On one hand, the only way he can remain credible to himself and to others is to refuse to obey or abide conventional sources of power. Ontheother hand,refusing to embrace traditional value systems and structures of power puts a Rebel in a position where he needs to choose whether he adheres to any sort of moral code or whether he embraces any sort of power (and, if so, which) and evaluate the structures of power he is willing toundermine and which should not be touched He needs to choose his battles, essentially, or face the consequences. He often portrays that he is content to accept the consequences of his actions as a sort of effect to any disorder that he causes.

Styles:

Force of Nature A Force of Nature cannot be controlled by any structure of power because he operates in ways that cannot be controlled As a result, his words and/ or actions are often of benefit to the group in a way that is not normally possible. For example, Loki from Norse/ Scandanavian mythology cannot be controlled by the gods except for when he is chained to a rock with the entrails of one of his sons. Other than this, his cleverness and the supernatural ability to change his form put him in a position where the cost of restraining him both outweighs the benefits (for the gods) because opposing such a terrible adversary might prove costly.

Nonconformist A Nonconformist is an otherwise ordinary character who either refuses or otherwise challenges an accepted individual or structure of authority. He tends to focus his rebelliousness on a specific development, stimulus, or threat. He may refuse the source of authority entirely, or he may disagree with specific policies. He will often do this publicly, either making both his disagreement with authority and his intent to challenge it open and clear or operating in such a way that his disagreement is evident in his words or actions. Because of the openness of his defiance, he puts himself at risk of reprimand or in danger of other rational consequences to his actions. He is typically willing to confront authority openly. Frequently, a Nonconformist is much more thoughtful and proactive than a Force of Nature tends to be Qualities:

• Independently-minded • Decisive • Perceptive and evaluative • Intelligent, good problem-solver and critical thinker • Strong sense of personal integrity • On the surface, very tough-skinned, underneath, very sensitive • Energetic Flaws:

• Highly unpredictable • Obstinate, stubborn, or simply pig-headed • Prone to volatility or sudden anger • Unwillingness to subordinate or play a specific role • Abrasive

• Difficult in interpersonal relationships • Difficulty encouraging trust in others • Stubborn Background:

Why is he as apprehensive of authority, what made him that way? Perhaps he is trying to reconcile truth (or something beautiful) he experienced in a more-innocent time in his life with an injustice that ended it. Maybe he grew up in a rough household and defying authority was his only way (in absence of just authority) to produce any sort of just resolution. Maybe he believes in a rightness and truth that can only be protected by obfuscating it for others. Or maybe he was given access to a truth so profound that he can only explain it in riddles and half-truths. Or maybe he’s just a free spirit and doesn’t believe in all of the commotion and intimidation present in the world he lives in. Perhaps a character biography is too potentially confining for a Rebel, because it would limit other’s perceptions of him; he (or the author) might choose not to reveal it, or even to accept one at all

Occupations:

• Method Actor

Examples • Andy Dufresne in The Shawshank Redemption: Andy Dufresne, who is imprisoned for a crime the film reveals he did not commit, spends nearly twenty years executing a plan to escape from prison. During this time, he frequently confronts the corrupt authority of Warden Norton and (with Norton working on its behalf) the Maine correctional system. His efforts and attitude challenge the idea that the convicts are either uncorrectable or otherwise hopeless through his attempts to build a library onsite and to educate inmates like Tommy Williams. Dufresne’s use of female pin-up girl posters from the mid-twentieth century evokes a "regular" type of convict, the notion of which he challenges by building a library to educate his fellow inmates The scenes where Dufresne plays The Marriage of Figaro over the public address system and is subsequently subjected to solitary confinement for claiming that the warden is being "obtuse" illustrate Dufresne's thinly-veiled contempt for a Corrupt Authority Figure (Warden Norton) and for a system that has failed him.

• Randall Patrick MacMurphy in One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest • Algernon Moncrief in The Importance of Being Earnest • Iktomi in Lakota mythology

• Bart Simpson in The Simpsons • William Wallace in Braveheart • Loki, Norse/ Scandanavian Mythology. As a trickster figure, Loki often initiates a story with a bet or a ruse of some kind, which generally results in some type of supernatural occurrence and (later) in his own suffering. Although he is often able to escape serious trouble by citing some sort technicality or often-overlooked fact. MjA/AUIInir (Thor’s Hammer) was created as a result of a bet Loki made (and, arguably, lost) with a pair of dwarves: Loki bet his head (the dwarves could sever it from his body if he lost) that they could not create items that rivaled those (such as Odin’s staff) created by other dwarves. In order to interfere with the dwarves he’d made the bet with, Loki transformed himself into a fly and bit the dwarves repeatedly, so that they could not properly work within their forge. When it became clear that dwarves had won, Loki claimed that he should be allowed to keep his head because he had never bet the dwarves his neck, which they would also have to take if they severed his head from his body

Loki is also ascribed as the parent of a number of supernatural creatures who play a significant role in several key stories in Norse/ Scandanavian mythology.

Archetype Info Description:

A Playboy succeeds by convincing a character to do something they otherwise would not have wanted to do. By setting and achieving lofty goals, the Playboy is able to impress others and portray himself as an accomplished, tasteful socialite.

The Playboy appeals to other characters' (and the audience's) sense of greed He is able to convince others that he is successful in business, has a lot of great friends, and that his taste - in clothing, in cars, and in relationships -- is impeccable None of these things is easy on their own to do; the Playboy, however, attempts to do all three. The first rule of multitasking is organization, and the Playboy is a pro at it. He discriminates which task needs to be completed at a given time. He deflects serious questions about his integrity or intentions as uncouth or simply as poorly thought-out. He may present misleading technically-true facts, in order to deflect accusations of indiscretion.

The Playboy will hire Experts and Outsiders, Action Figures, and Companions to do any heavy lifting, leaving him free to enjoy a day sunning by the pool, gambling, or even playing video games Games are something that the Playboy is very interested in, because they require the player to take risks without any of the responsibility and without requiring much concern otherwise (if the rules are simple, the Playboy should be able to learn it easily). If the Playboy is good enough at a particular game, he may begin to bet money on it, in order to prove his efficacy in it and make money while having fun -- thus, multitasking.

There is a lot of danger in this. Too many wrong moves could cost more than the hand; they could cost the entire game. The Playboy, then, has an affinity for getting into trouble, of rationalizing one too many actions and getting caught off-guard while in the middle of something damaging. With the right amount of organization, though, and the right friends, the trouble shouldn't last too long Styles:

Champion

A Champion sets realistic goals and woks to achieve them. He may still expose himself to failure, but because he has a plan (long-term or short-term), he is able to overcome obstacles and-usually-make it to the finish line successfully. A Champion tends to be more frugal, more resourceful, and more diligent. His tastes tend to be more spartan, and very-refined He lives not only to play games and compete in-general; he lives to win fairly. He tends to be somewhat self-absorbed (if not just self-interested) in his ability to compete effectively. He may train in some way to He enjoys the sport in finding the simplest answer to any question.

Gallant A Gallant tends to be more vain, more arrogant, and more prone to failure. He is very confident in his accomplishments (or what he believes are accomplishments) and tends to be content with his life as-is. He is often prone to working harder to convince people around him that he has accomplished something than he is to actually accomplishing anything. His tastes tend to be more extravagant and his risks tend to be riskier. He tends to be more aggressive in his attempts to convince others of his greatness. Qualities:

• Excellent interpersonal skills • Highly attentive, keen to detail • Very expressive • Usually pleasant to be around • Very audacious: confident and willing to take risks to reach a goal Flaws:

• Inconsistent, tends only to be as good as his interests lead him • Careless or simply dismissive of things others might value • Shallow, intentionally rationalizes deeper feelings in shallow terms • Avoids introspection, his expressiveness complicates this

• Sees the world almost exclusively in terms of his business or his desires • Has difficulty genuinely empathizing with others • Has difficulty taking responsibility for his actions Background:

Why does he use his charms to get what he wants? Why is this strategy best for him rather than offering something of more substance? Perhaps he was singled out (or he failed) at something important in the past because he was ordinary and not extraordinary. Perhaps he was antagonized or ignored by somebody whose approval he desired and was unable to gain their respect unless he was able to prove himself an accomplished, tasteful socialite. Perhaps he is just an overachiever and is bored in life otherwise.

Occupations:

• Tycoon • Prince • Actor

• Fitness Instructor • Yoga Coach • Spy • Hitman • Salesman

Examples • Theseus in Greek Mythology: With the aid of Adriane (who had fallen in love with him) Theseus was able to traverse the labyrinth and rescue the Athenian youths held there by king Minos by slaying the Minotaur. Theseus later conspired with his friend Pirithous to kidnap Helen of Troy (not to be confused with her later kidnapping by Pyrrhus, which served as grounds for the Trojan War), following which they travelled directly to the underworld, where they also attempted to kidnap Persephone (the wife of Hades). Hades, aware of Theseus’ intentions, greeted the Athenian with hospitality and led him to a trap in which snakes bound Theseus as soon as he sat at Hades’ table. Theseus would remain a prisoner in the underworld until he was rescued by Heracles. • Bad Blake in Crazy Heart • Zeus from Greek Mythology • Dorian Gray in Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Grey • James Bond of the 007 series. • Shore Leave in The Venture Bros.

• Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction: Vincent, a callous and self-confident hit man, is cast as a foil to his comparatively self-questioning work partner Jules. Jules and Vincent discuss their differing opinions on various topics throughout the film. Especially through the perspective of Jules, Vincent is presented to the audience as reckless, self-important, and even absent-minded In the sequence Prelude to "Vincent Vega and Marsellus Wallace’s Wife,"A Vincent provides Jules with an extensive description of how the names of sandwiches at McDonalds in Amsterdam differ from those in America. Clearly interested by this exotic information, Jules asks Vincent what they call a Whopper

"I don’t know,"A replies Vincent, "I didn’t eat at Burger King "A • Sir Lancelot from the Arthurian Legend • Anthony Stark in Iron Man • Rob in Cloverfield • Jay Gatsby in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby

Archetype Info Description: A Companion succeeds by sharing enjoyment and fulfillment with others. They are genuine, selfless, caring, understanding and prove themselves worthy of a high degree of trust from those around them. Their traits instill confidence within others and they enjoy those fulfilling relationships.

The Companion empowers others to summon the courage to do the things they might not do otherwise. Their close friends allow access to feelings, insights, or resources, and are apt to be cooperative, ignore philosophical differences, and seek to achieve a common ground. The Companion encourages close friends to openly express their hopes and feelings they wouldn’t express otherwise. All of these things contribute to a relationship based on trust and openness. The Companion encourages similar relationships not only with their close friends, but also with others. A Companion denies or sacrifices himself to encourage trust, and allows them to address them openly. He listens, understands, and remembers. He’s attentive and is responsive to what their counterpart tells him, and as a result, shares in the emotional burden. In time, he is given the freedom to provide advice and encouragement, and is willing to risk getting into arguments or physical altercations on their Companion's behalf Companionship comes with pitfalls: they can become difficult or can reach a point where the friendship is in jeopardy A Companion will, however remain loyal and lend an ear to listen and their heart to understand A Companion usually goes above and beyond the call of duty. For example, in Star Wars A New Hope, C-3PO donated robotic components to ensure the R2D2's survival. In Of Mice and Men and One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the Companion required making life decisions on behalf of a friend that cannot decide on their own. Sometimes a friend is called upon to call his counterpart out on his blind sides, both circumstantially and personally, and it's almost always expressed in the form of constructive criticism.

Styles:

Advocate

Relates to his friend as an equal (or near-equal). Both characters have similar levels of ability, similar capacity for commitment, and similar social currency. Generally both friends will keep each other in check or complement each other's individual strengths or weakness in away that makes the two stronger as a pair than they were individually. Pal

Does whatever is asked for them. There is clearly an inequality between this Companion and his friend in ability, capacity for commitment, or social currency. They are not required necessarily to understand much about their friend in order to be of benefit to the friend Qualities:

• Strong sense of dedication • Strong sense of resolve • Strong moral compass • Very accepting • Very patient Flaws:

• Slow to anger • Tendency to gloss over issues/ imperfections. • Tendency to be stubborn or unyielding in certain situations. • Tendency to be overprotective of others Background:

Why is he trustworthy and concerned, and why does he trust others so blindly? There's usually a backstory, usually in the form of close relationships with parents or other family members Maybe a friendship is symbiotic: the counterpart may compensate for the Companion's weaknesses and vice versa. It may be a case that the two need each other as much as they enjoy each other. Perhaps they enter into a business deal or some other venture (or, for example, are castaways on a remote island) and form an unlikely relationship. The Companion may be protective of his counterpart, or perhaps the counterpart gives a Companion's life a sort of meaning it did not have otherwise Maintaining and protecting a friendship benefits all parties involved. Perhaps he simply enjoys close relationships Maybe he gets along well with others, and he enjoys when others get along well with him.

Archetype Info Description: An Outsider succeeds by distancing himself from a group that he is otherwise a part of. This may either be to fulfill a specific set of objectives, to gain a greater perspective on events affecting either the group or individuals within the group, or simply to escape a situation that is not benefitting an Outsider, or because he was rejected by the group. Whatever his reason for leaving, success comes from embracing working or living alone An Outsider chooses to work alone. Whether it be because he was betrayed in the past, because he is skeptical of everything and everybody, because his very presence places others in danger, or because others simply do not understand him, it makes more sense for him to live orwork alone than it does to operate in tandem with others Regardless, he endures loneliness, and a sense of alienation for whatever benefits working alone provides

There are distinct benefits to working alone, which an Outsider experiences whenever he succeeds. He is able to derive some sort of meaning and fulfillment from working alone. He is able to arrive at insights and act in ways that he would not have been able to if he were bound to the group. He can keep late hours working on projects that others might think are misguided or simply a waste of time, and when those projects succeed, he can revel in his accomplishments. An Outsider is often placed in settings that is hostile or non-conducive to close, personal relationships. In Calvin and Hobbes, Calvin is often depicted in situations where he is in dramatic opposition of his parents, Susie (his neighbor), the babysitter, or Miss Wormwood (his teacher). In The Matrix, Neo is placed in a setting where self-awareness makes him a target of programs (Agents) charged with maintaining order within the Matrix; since these programs can hijack the form of any human within the Matrix, everybody essentially (and, in The Matrix: Revolutions, inevitably) becomes a potential threat to Neo

Since an Outsider has chosen to approach his pursuits on his own, he will need to evaluate moral decisions and cope with injustice alone. There is little, if any, interpersonal support for an Outsider; because of this, he needs to rely as much as possible on himself. He will need to work hard to understand events in his life, people he encounters, things he needs to use, and strategies he will develop Styles:

Recluse The Recluse chooses to withdraw from society completely. This could be as the result of a guilty conscience (Dostoevsky’s Raskolnikov) or as a result of a personal choice (as with The Hulk), either for the betterment of society or (as with Jay Gatsby) for personal comfort. This can also be a character who was separated from the group by circumstance (for example, in survival stories such as Cast Away or the novel Hatchet), who must embrace their separation from society and rely on survival- and coping skills to return to civilization alive

Philosopher The Philosopher distances himself from the group with the intention interacting with it periodically. He may observe the individuals in the group, in order to understand the group (and the way the group operates) better. He may check-in to the group frequently, making frequent interactions but restraining his integration to the group. He may continue to observe from a distance and only interact with the group his services are needed Qualities:

• Very perceptive, good with details • Good thinker, especially with abstract ideas and relational thinking • Good sense of deductive reasoning • Self-reliant, tends to work better alone than with teams • Independent-minded • Highly adaptable • Very ethical; focused on what is right and just Flaws:

• Resistant/ apprehensive of close personal relationships • Nit-picky or fussy • Sees the forest for the trees • Projects his feelings onto others • Moral relativity • Unreliable • Misrepresents others as elitist Background:

Why does he operate alone, what conflicts might he have with the group, and why does he feel it's best for him? Maybe he is highly motivated, and the group could not handle his motivation. Maybe he was betrayed at some point in the past, and the best way not to repeat that is to deny others access feelings or possessions to betray him with again. Maybe he is an Expert (especially an Academic) and his expertise isolates him from his peers Perhaps he is bullied at school. Perhaps he was in an airplane crash and needs to find a way to survive his current predicament, so that he can return to civilization. Maybe, despite his best efforts, people simply fail to comprehend his value as a human being Perhaps he is destined to do great things in his lifetime, and the environment he was born into (or raised in) was not conducive to it. Maybe he needs to embark on a journey alone in order to see to it that he is able to fulfill that destiny or reach his full potential

Occupations:

• Efficiency Expert • Police Detective • Private Investigator • Undercover Cop

Examples • Yossarian in Joseph Heller's Catch 22: Yossarian disagrees with the Army’s bureaucratic approach to war in Germany. He becomes uneasy of the Army’s seemingly non-sensical orders. The sense of distress he feels escalates until, when in Rome (Heller's pun here seems intentional of this), he challenges generals by ordering them the same way that they have ordered the troops. The end of the novel shows Yossarian having deserted the Army, although his comrades believe him to be dead • Forrest Gump in Forrest Gump • Raskolnikov in Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment • Pip in Dickens’ Great Expectations • The main character in Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man • Po in Kung Fu Panda • Neo in the Matrix Film Series: Neo’s metaphysical abilities (and his awareness of how to use them) develop alongside his efficacy in differentiating himself from the world around him, explained by Morpheus to be a computer program that simulates real life. As "the One,"A he is frequently given information not supplied to other characters, which simultaneously improves his efficacy and increases the sense of isolation he feels from the rest of the world. In The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix: Revolutions, he is increasingly separated from the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar, until eventually he is alone in both the Machine City and in the Matrix (fighting the Agent Smiths) simultaneously. • Jason Bourne in the Bourne series • Winston Smith in Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four • Marlow in Konrad's Heart of Darkness • Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars series

Archetype Info Description:

The Expert succeeds by demonstrating the value of his knowledge, experience, or understanding to the group. By employing any of these traits, he is able to achieve things that would likely escape other characters who possess less tenacity or guile Above all, the Expert has information. He knows things that are either difficult to know, or what other people find of little interest or value Through hard work, he applies his knowledge and experience to accomplishing new and challenging things from which he is able to gain new experience and understanding. Through this process, he realizes great success, and becomes known as a dependable and knowledgable resource in his field of expertise.

Experts do not sit around and wait for someone with a need for their vast skills.They often attempt in one way or another to demonstrate their expertise. They may undertake incredible experiments or build fantastic inventions. They may start a business or a website that becomes enormously successful - all because of their great ability. They may offer a theory, endlessly researching and reformulating it, in order to prove its validity in the real world. The Expert possesses considerable concentration, discipline, reasoning and evaluative skills. Not only does he comprehend his subject matter inside and out, but he understands how to evaluate the way that it relates to similar or completely dissimilar topics. Because of the amount of time and effort it takes to do all of this, the Expert is often invested emotionally in his area of expertise. He is often very passionate about the possibilities of a new theory or the potential consequences of using a type of technology. Professor Roy Hinkley, from the television show, Gilligana€™s Island, while oblivious to the sexual innuendos that surrounded him, was noteworthy for his inventions, scientific skills and leadership, upon which everyone relied, and without which, there is little chance that anyone could have survived

Styles:

Tinkerer

The Tinkerer is an Expert whose interest tends more towards passion for the subject matter than it does towards making a profit out of it. Doc Brown, who created the time machine in Back to the Future, suffers from a sort of absent-mindedness that is typical of both absorption in his subject matter and of this type of Expert. Dr. Manhattan is transformed into the object of his studies in a research accident and subsequently begins to work for the U.S. Government by, in the what-if universe of Watchmen, using his powers to resolve conflicts lost in the real world by the United States

Entrepeneur An Entrepreneur utilizes his experience and knowledge, including his own, in order to create and maintain a profit. With an understanding of the means of production and the willingness and resourcefulness to overcome obstacles to turning a profit, he is able to turn a profit and devise ways to increase efficiency in doing so. Oftentimes, the tension between the ends and the means of arriving at the ends is a source of tension or conflict for an Entrepreneur. Tony Stark of the Iron Man series must confront the history of Stark Industries as a weapons manufacturer and the oxymoronic position he faces playing a dual role as both CEO of such a company and as a vigilante in the fight against global terrorism. Qualities:

• Wealth of knowledge • Analytical.

• Detail-oreinted. • Ambitious.

• Well-versed on topics of expertise • Very passionate (occasionally the point of animation) for their intellectual pursuits. • Independent thinkers. With a knowledge of complex systems or vast stations of a particular area of expertise, and an interest in furthering their pursuits, it is often difficult to beat them at their own game Flaws:

• Prone to myopia. • Tendency to be subversive, covert, or--in general-contradictory to conventional judgement and obedience • Tendency to be or unsympathetic, assumes that misfortune results strictly from lack of foresight and preparation • Absorption in pursuits often leads to lack of awareness and apparent absent-mindedness

• Interest in (and time spent on) a particular topic tends to weakness in other areas • Often impractical. • A tendency toward underdeveloped coping skills.

• Tendency to see life mechanically. An Evil genius fails to evaluate the emotional consequences of his words or actions. Background:

What lead him to amass and apply knowledge? Perhaps a figure in his life inspired him with a respect for knowledge or technology or is an Outsider whose knowledge in a specific area provides him with social currency to do things he could not have alone Perhaps he just enjoys when things, ideas, or people perform well: maybe his interest in his subject matter relates to making the most out of something finite or the excitement of something working the way it should.

Occupations:

• Scientist • Professor • Physicist • Interpreter • Archaeologist

• Doctor • Linguist

Examples • Doctor Emmett ("Doc") Brown in the Back to the Future film series: Doc Brown, who created the time travel device (and produced the time machine that uses it) that carries Marty McFly from the present day (1985) thirty years into the past, is the only person who can help Marty get back to the present Doc is able to devise a plan (with Marty’s "historical" knowledge of when lighting will strike the city clock tower) that will achieve this. Concurrently, Marty must navigate time paradoxes in order to preserve his very existence; Doc Brown is able to provide insights that help him navigate potential hazards The scene where Marty and Doc discuss present-day vocabulary (the word "heavy”) in the school hallway illustrates Doc’s single-mindedness: Doc is curious on a scientific level as to which events in the future (specifically, which issues related to physics) results in the word "heavy" being meaningful enough to Marty that he use it as frequently as he does

• Indiana Jones in the Indiana Jones series • Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park • Brian Johnson in The Breakfast Club • Dr. Leonard H. McCoy in Star Trek • David Lightman in War Games • Alex "Hitch" Hitchens in Hitch: Hitch uses his understanding of and experience with relationships to make a living (and a reputation) as a coaching men on how to court women. He attempts to use his expertise in order to win the affection and confidence of Sara Melas. Although he contends that his reasons are altruistic (and that he is careful not to make his services available to individuals like the one who took advantage of Casey Sedgewick) his services and intentions are frequently interpreted as antagonistic of women Melas’ disdain for Hitch's profession (as a dating counselor) results in confrontations that cause Hitch to re-evaluate his professional decisions, particularly their effects on romantic relationships.

• Tony Stark in the Iron Man series • Professor Robert Langdon, a recurring character in novels by Dan Brown, including The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons • Dr. Gregory House in House, MD • Professor Roy Hinkley in Gilligan's Island

Archetype Info Description:

The Action Figure completes the task at hand in the most-direct manner possible. He chooses a course of action and commits to it, while minimizing negative consequences. Through diligence, physical pain, personal turmoil, and powering through moral ambiguity, the Action Figure is able to successfully tough through his own suffering and get the job done The Action Figure leaves a path of destruction in his wake. Whether it be personal confrontation, destruction of property (for example, breaking into a patient's home to gather information), or for some other reason, the Action Figure is often forced to choose between the "nice and easy" conventional, mutually-beneficial path of action and direct confrontation and routinely chooses some form of confrontation.

Pain and anguish test the Action Figure's resolve. His family might have been kidnapped; he may be injured The greater, more impressive and more prolonged the suffering, the greater his resolve is tested. The Action Figures activities make enough commotion that he is difficult to ignore. His morally questionable actions frequently get the attention of others who either question them or oppose them outright. The Action Figure contests that his actions are absolutely necessary. He frequently suggests that the motivations of his detractors do not reflect his motivation to do the job. He tells his coworkers they are lazy or incompetent; his superiors they are nearsighted, and others he discounts as simply unaware Although he may make mistakes, the Action Figure is rarely portrayed as clumsy or inept In order to prove that he is human (and. therefore, not perfect), he is often portrayed as making mistakes in areas outside his expertise. For example, John McClane in Die Hard, has difficulties in his role as a husband, but performs with excellence in dispatching terrorists.

Styles:

Voyager

This style of hero pushes the boundaries of his territory, eventually to return home. He may embark on a physical voyage such as returning to a physical home, or, as in the case of John McClane, he may be fighting to return to his family or some other semblance of a home life or familiarity after an extended period of separation. This hero clearly has a goal, a place to be. and a reason to fight. Cage Fighter Characters of this style live for the thrill of combat and the pressure to produce positive results. Conflict is something these characters wield as a double-edged sword: it provides them with a sense of identity and social structure that a home would otherwise provide, and it provides them with an opportunity to escape something otherwise troubling them. The source of the conflict could potentially even be something he created Qualities:

• Active, either as a thinker or physically

• Hard working and diligent • Personally challenging • Shows intensity, passion, or pride in completing work • Results oriented • Tough, both physically and emotionally Flaws: • A relative sense of right and wrong

• Lets the ends justify the means • Gets into trouble, either himself or those around him • Affinity for disorder, commotion

• Difficult to keep in one place • Can be cold, systematic, and unfeeling • Difficulty seeing the bigger picture

Background: Why he is so motivated to get the job done? Maybe he was raised with a sense of duty that was particularly impressive. Maybe he is driven internally to see things work correctly. Maybe, although he can feel pain, he is indestructible--thus, he takes on missions (or finds himself in situations) where others might die but endurance (and, with it, the resolve) of an Action Figure is tested. Perhaps he is focused on an event in his past (for example, an injustice of some sort) for which he is trying to seeking revenge Why is he able to endure pain? Maybe he was part of a failed science experiment that left him with superhuman strength and regenerative powers Maybe he has nothing to come home to, so (although failure and loss haunt him) there is only one way of thinking Maybe he has an addiction or self­ medicates in some way where he believes that he is immortal-until his current fix wears off

Occupations:

• Fireman • Policeman • Boxer • Soldier • Cage Fighter • Professional Wrestler (Character)

Examples • John McClane in The Die Hard series: McClanes primary objective in all of the movies is saving a family member from imminent doom. In Die Hard and Die Hard 2: Die Harder, this family member is his wife. Frequently throughout these first two movies, McClane is portrayed as finding a wry humor in the absurdity of the predicaments responsible for the films' primary conflicts. The first movie characterizes McClane as a the type of police officer to administer justice outside the typical boundaries. One of the terrorists/ boasts to McClane that he believes McClanes occupation precludes him from unnecessary violence: There are rules for policemen.Before dispatching the man, McClane's response suggests an everyday tendency toward moral relativism: 'Yeah. My Captain keeps telling me the same thing.’

• Heracles in Greek Mythology • Batman in DC Comics and both Batman film franchises (as-of late 2010) • Kyle Reese in The Terminator

• The Narrator in Fight Club • Alexander the Great in the legend of the Gordian Knot (both the "legendary" version and Plutarch’s account). • Jack Bauer in 24: As a member of the Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU). Jack Bauer’s success in executing missions and serving his country frequently puts personal and semi-personal relationships and goals in jeopardy Because of the sensitive nature of his job, he is frequently required to think on his feet under the weight of mounting pressure. He may protect a high profile target, locate hidden explosives, unravel schemes and plots, or find missing individuals at the same time that he attempts to protect specific person he understands will be valuable

This frequently requires him to develop strategies that do not follow procedural guidelines Bauer's propensity to "think outside the box" creates nearly perpetual tension between the operative and his organization, at the same time, it increases his value. Thus, in order to increase his value to CTU, he simultaneously needs to endanger it (along with his life) Much of the show’s first season focused on the extent to which Bauer’s family life has fallen apart because of his intense personality. The season begins with Bauer, separated from his wife, returning home briefly After spending much of the first season searching for and eventually finding his rebellious daughter, his wife is kidnapped and is murdered in front of him. His daughter, who was originally hostile to him, eventually joins CTU and has a family of her own. As the show progresses, Bauer has less and less of a family to return to by the end of the next mission.

The show’s final episode renders all of this in nearly sublime terms: he leaves his daughter and her new family to complete another mission. By the end of the mission, it becomes clear that his participation has left him out of favor with both his country and the country whose efforts he foiled Left without a political ally, Bauer flees the country, requesting that a longtime professional acquaintance, an intelligence operative with CTU, sees to the safety of his remaining family.

Archetype Info Description:

A Standard Bearer succeeds by promoting the wellbeing of characters he feels a responsibility toward, by promoting an ideal or by doing something he contends promotes a greater good By scrutinizing events, people, and actions he encounters, rendering judgement on them, and undertaking efforts either to uphold the right or challenge the wrong, a Standard Bearer is able to make an ideal that the audience values manifest A Standard Bearer reacts to indications that something either in the natural order of things is amiss or that some part of the world fails to live up to its potential. When he notices situations that require his action (or that should be corrected) and by providing the type of action necessary to right wrongs, a Standard Bearer plays the white knight to the Action Figures black knight. He tends to follow a strong moral compass, to vocalize his displeasure with wrongdoing or incorrectness, and to take calculated action to right wrongs.

It's often equally as important to a Standard Bearer that the job gets done as it is that the job gets done in a way that benefits the greatest number possible, or does as little harm as possible. Whereas the Action Figure, for example, focuses on answering morelogistical questions indetermining whether or not something can be done, a Standard Bearer focuses on asking more qualitative questions to determine whether or not something should be done Because of this, a Standard Bearer is often characterized in some way as being sensitive or having more refined tastes; these reflect outwardly in conversation, where his objective is clearly order, peace, and harmony. Because he enjoys rightness or beauty or love, he is motivated either to champion those things or to question things that challenge or threaten them.

Standard Bearers don’t bet all of their chips every time, though, either A Standard Bearer is frequently required to sit some battles out, either by choice or because it is physically impossible to be every place at every time. He may not have the power to overcome established power or the firepower to overtake a gang of outlaws hiding out in a church. He does have rightness on his side, though, and where he might fail today, the audience expects that, with the right moral outlook, he should be able to succeed tomorrow. Where he challenges an accepted method of doing things, a Standard Bearer is characterized as divisive in one way or another. He will often present situations or attitudes to others in terms of conflicting moral or emotional options. It should follow, then, that a Standard Bearer is occasionally mistaken by other characters as morally elitist, overrefined, melodramatic, or simply as controlling of others Styles:

Concerned Citizen The Concerned Citizen identifies evils or particular negative actions or attitudes in other characters or events and works to either reverse or neutralize them. Oftentimes, the Concerned Citizen is not capable of enacting the changes he would like to see on his own. Often, he requires somebody in a position of higher authority (for example, the Man in Charge) to enact policy that outlaws the dangers the Concerned Citizen has identified, or to validate the work that the Concerned Citizen does to promote or preserve the greater good

Altruist The Altruist identifies positive qualities, actions, or attitudes that he either personally champions or by aiding somebody else who champions them. It is often out of character for him to point the finger at another character, he would rather be making things right, instead of pointing out where they miss the mark. Often the Altruist is also skilled or resourceful in another area, which he can apply to the situation at-hand The Good Samaritan, for example, had a donkey to carry the victim with, money to pay for his boarding, and a source of credit that he could use to ensure that the victim would be well taken care of. Qualities:

• Disciplined • Dependable • Emotive/ empathetic • Evaluative • Strong sense of right and wrong • Quick to evaluate • Passionate or otherwise animated about morality Flaws:

• Perceived as self-righteous • Divisive, often presenting choices in a way that influences emotive judgement • Unyielding • Stubborn, pursues things • Not typically the life of the party • Equates validation with having done the right thing Background:

Why does he promote the greater good, identifiy with a particular value or belief, why he is as diligent and watchful as he is? What is the source of his resolve to make sure the right thing is done? Perhaps he was raised by parents with strong morals.

Occupations:

• Minister • Political Activist • Judge

Examples • The Good Samaritan in the Parable of the Good Samaritan: The parable of the Good Samaritan is related by Jesus, as an example of a man who loves his neighbor as himself After a man on his way to Jericho from Jerusalem is beaten and left on the side of the road by robbers, the man is passed by two men, one a priest, who do nothing for him. The third man. a Samaritan, tends to the man’s wounds, transports him to a local village on the back of his animal, and set him up at an inn with instructions to the innkeeper to tend to the needs of the injured man, and to bill the Samaritan for the expenses In the Gospel according to Luke, Jesus offers the Parable as an example of how an individual can live according God's law. The Samaritan’s altruism (the Samaritan was willing to champion the attitude "love thy neighbor as thyself) served as an example of loving a neighbor as one's self. By following this rule, and thus living in accordance with God's law, Jesus suggested that an individual might secure "eternal life."

• Jefferson Smith in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington • Ransom "Rance" Stoddard in The Man who Shot Liberty Valance • Frodo in the Lord of the Rings trillogy • King Arthur in the Arthurian Legend • Superman in the DC Comics. Often seen taking bullets or other projectiles, or lifting oversize objects to save civilians or otherwise racing through the sky in order to reach the scene of the action, Superman’s focus is clearly serving as a protector for the humans he shares a home (Earth) with and using his powers to preserve order and promote the greater good The famous line 'This looks like a job for Superman" relates specifically to Clark Kent (Superman’s secret, civilian identity) recognizing that a situation is hazardous or troublesome enough both that the situation requires attention and, specifically, Superman should be the one to provide it. A theme frequently developed in stories involving Superman is that, although he possesses superhuman powers, he is limited in his ability to save people. He can’t be everywhere at once or do everything at once, and (usually) saving one person occupies him to the point that he must choose which situations he assists in resolving. The moral weight of his inability to save everybody, and the essential question of who he should save and who he should not, is one that troubles him frequently.

Archetype Info Description: The Center of Influence succeeds through performance in a leadership role, leading a group of people. She is in charge of the group and acts as an authority figure wherever the authority she represents is legitimate. By balancing between personal, public, and private needs and by handling her position appropriately, she will be able to provide peace and security for her subordinates and promote the greater good The Center of Influence is charged with ensuring the greater good and security for anybody under her charge She may be required to settle arguments, decide the fair use of resources, or determine the direction of the group she leads As a result, a Center of Influence tends to show remarkable courage under fire, as well as sound judgement when the stakes are high. She is keen to detail and interaction; she should be able to evaluate the performance and conduct of her subordinates and their value to the group

She will likely also know how to handle others where necessary. The Center of Influence will encourage excellence, reward accomplishment, and scold poor behavior with words, actions, and a sense of presence that her subordinates will know that she is serious. She will likely also know how to handle rivals, making it clear to any contenders for her position that she means business and that, if they do as well, they will be better to leave her alone The Center of Influence is aware that her position is being scrutinized at all times. Whether it be by rivals or by characters attempting to characterize her as either a Ruthless Administrator or a Diva, a Center of Influence is consistently awareof the way she approaches her behavior, relationships, and her decision making process.

her

Leading, though, takes its toll on anybody. Since she has to balance between personal and public needs, she often needs to choose in some way between her personal life and her professional duties. She often displays a level of concern for or preoccupation with her responsibilities as a leader Privately, though, she might show dissatisfaction that the sense of accomplishment that follows her private life does not follow the same in her public life. Because of the conflict between the office and home, dramatic tension will hang on the question of whether she can balance personal life with office life, and whether one must be sacrificed in order to save the other

She will also be questioned on how she handles authority. If she is unnecessarily authoritative, she may be characterized as a Ruthless Administrator; if she is too yielding, her subordinates might rebel Styles:

Queen A Queen leads from a position granted to her by something outside of her control. Maybe her husband is an Emperor, or maybe she was crowned Queen herself Maybe she’s a princess (a Queen in-the-wings). She may recognize that she needs the confidence of her subordinates in order to be effective (otherwise she might be an Evil Queen), but they do not factor directly into the source of her political authority. She will frequently tend to address this power and her subjects as given and not as entirely necessary to the longevity of her authority. She also may circumvent structures or figures of traditional authority in order to provide solutions to her subordinates that are common-sense.

The Queen will frequently be criticized either as a contender to her counterpart's authority or as out-of-touch with her constituency because she was not elected or appointed to her current position as a result of performance.

Executive The Executive is a character whose position of power is a result of personal labor or of some effort to satisfy others. She is driven to maintain her position and continue to satisfy the demands of whatever apparatus that put her in the position to begin with. Performance is frequently the focus of the Executive's mindset; whatever she can do to improve herself will reflect positively on her organization. She often expects the same from her subordinates - if they want to have a positive influence on the organization, they should also have the same mindset. Frequently, she is more likely than the Queen to sacrifice elements of her personal life to support professional success. Because of this, she may be more difficult to reach on a personal level (or more awkward with others) than the Queen The Executive is often more likely to support structures and figures of power traditional to the organization than the Queen Qualities:

• Driven • Highly Motivated • Strong sense of resolve • Consistent • Organized • Evaluative, able to judge • Strong Interpersonal Skills • Wiling to make compromises to ensure the best possible outcome • Strong Sense of Justice and Fairness Flaws: • Authoritativeness • A tendency to be unyielding

• A tendency to be judgmental • A tendency to be selfish - if safeguarding the throne is requisite of holding it • Sometimes overwhelmed or burnt out under the weight of his responsibility

Background: How did she acquire a position of power and why does she handles it the way she does? Perhaps a love interest holds a position of power, and the power she wields was acquired by association. Maybe she was voted into the position she currently holds and wants to maintain the confidence of her constituency. Maybe she became the leader of a group in the workplace due to professional performance Maybe she is the heir to a dynastic succession or a monarchy. Maybe she started her own business and is trying to develop a successful and competitive business. Maybe she is a mother and is trying to raise her children the best she can. Or perhaps she relates to others best when she is in-charge and has a natural tendency to gravitate to positions at the head of the decision-making process.

Occupations:

• Real Estate Agent • CEO

Examples • Princess Leia in Star Wars A New Hope: Having received the title of Princess from her adopted father Bail Organa, Leia is identified as a key figure in the Rebellion after Alderaan is destroyed. Removed from the location (Alderaan) that her authority is specific to, she uses her position as princess at several key points in the film. At the beginning of the film, Leia accompanies a Rebellion transport disguised as a consular ship, carrying the plans for the Death Star, a space station with the firepower to destroy entire planets. When the transport is boarded by Darth Vader, Leia commits the plans for the Death Star to R2D2 with a message for Obi Wan Kenobi, identifying herself as the princess and explaining that his help is her only hope. When Leia is brought before Grand Moff Tarkin, Leia immediately challenges him in an effort to assert her dominance in the situation. After she is saved by Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, she immediately attempts to assert herself as the key figure of authority ("Can somebody get the walking carpet out of my way?").

After the Death Star is destroyed, a ceremony is held where medals are presented to Luke and Han. Leia presides over the ceremony in an official capacity. • Neytiri in Avatar • Sun Paik in LOST • Murphy Brown in Murphy Brown

The contamination appeared to pose an environmental hazard that could be linked to illnesses in several members of the community. Brockovich convinces Ed to pursue the case further, despite threats and what appear to be other signs of intimidation by PG&E, Brockovich becomes a sort of figurehead in the case against PG&E. Members of the affected community reach out to her -- both because she is personable and because she represents the law firm - in order to make sure that their individual narratives are considered in the law firm's investigation. Brockovich is able to use the leverage that this position affords her to convince Ed to continue to pursue the case. At the same time, her efforts attract the attention of PG&E, who appear to target Brockovich specifically as a sort of keystone figure in the operation; the idea seems to be that, if Brockovich can be discouraged, it might be possible to dissuade the law firm and the growing number of plaintiffs to lose interest in pursuing the case. All the while, Erin Brockovich attempts to maintain balance between her personal endeavors and questionably unstable home life. • Pam Landy in The Bourne Ultimatum • Penny Widmore in LOST • Persephone in The Matrix Reloaded

Archetype Info Description:

The Lady in Red succeeds by appealing to and utilizing the selfish motivations of others. Utilizing her awareness of what she provides and other characters want allows her to circumvent traditional structures of power and further her own agenda Two qualities generally define a Lady in Red: first, having, knowing, or being able to obtain something that somebody else wants, and second, knowing what to do with it in order to further her personal agenda To these ends, she is very comfortable in social situations, interacting with others, and naming a price in exchange for whatever it is she provides to others (what she takes in exchange for appealing to the selfish tendencies of others). She is also very comfortable with her thoughts and feelings, although even with these she is calculating and evaluative. She is often quick to produce an answer to any question asked of her, whether the answer one she genuinely believes herself, or one she believes the asker simply wants to hear

In order to define her own agenda, a Lady in Red needs to be aware of her selfish motivations, desires and feelings As a result, she is often introspective enough to be able to articulate her thoughts and feelings with an amount of depth, without getting carried away. Almost always, though, she is capable of pointed, intelligent conversation; her feelings do not frequently tend to overtake her

She may have refined tastes and take an interest in forms of art like painting, theatre, or sculpture. She might be a history buff or may furnish her living space exquisitely, taking care with smaller details. She may travel frequently, cataloging impressions of and insights into even the most mundane personal interactions, or she may be a voracious reader Despite the time she spends with hobbies and interests, she is typically unlikely to take any of them as anything more. She may be an art critic, but a Lady in Red herself is seldom the artist. She may find use in pop psychology or informal psychoanalysis, but she tends not to be the one to stay up late studying Jung or Maslow. A Lady in Red also tends to be business minded She approaches uncertain situations with the end in mind, develops conclusions about what she encounters, and adjusts her strategy to fit the current status of things. She is often able to calculate the potential in a given social interaction of meeting specific points in her agenda She is often able to connect the dots and see beyond an immediate situation, to see where a loss today might translate to a gain further down the road.

If she's experienced enough, though, and she’s done a good enough job of planning ahead, she might not need to accept a loss; but hen again, in order to succeed, she might need to be willing to risk everything Styles:

Amateur The Flirt succeeds in gaining influence without needing to do so or who does not have a specific endgame in-mind for her actions. Her influence may prove useful in situations where conventional problem-solving fails, but by no means did she set out as the Lady in Red Professional

The Mistress uses her ability to influence others as a means to one or more ends As the Lady in Red. she means business. Her quarries (the people she influences) are selected because of their value. She may study them first, in-order to understand them. Her moves are calculated Dramatic tension throughout a text that focuses on a Mistress will explore whether it is possible for her to win over her quarry. Qualities:

• Strong knowledge of self • Strong interpersonal skills • Ablilty to read others and determine their motivations

• Comfortable in social interactions • Strong business or economic sense • Strong analytical skills • Pleasant to be around Flaws:

• Willful or stubborn • Often reckless • Mechanical in her approach to social situations • Finds it difficult to empathizing with or genuinely relating to others • A very mechanical world outlook • Skeptical of others Background:

Why does she use or manipulate others to fulfill her own agenda? What about her background pushed her to use her allure, be it sexual, mental, or material to get what she wants? Maybe as a child she was teased as ugly, dumb, or poor Maybe she's an elite spy who trained not only to use force, but also to manipulate Maybe she’s an everyday businesswoman, who uses pleasantness and forthrightness to close deals Maybe she is a cabaret singer, who has been given the task of occupying a potential investor in the club Maybe she uses her allure to make up for a sense of powerlessness or injustice she felt at a point earlier in life. Perhaps the inclination and the ability to win the affection of others and apply it to a personal goal is something that has always been part of her character and she enjoys having men, women, or people in general, at her service or disposal.

Occupations:

Examples • Dr. Allison Cameron in House, M.D.: One of Cameron’s primary interests is serving the greater good As a fellow on House’s team, she sees an opportunity in flirtatiousness to challenge House’s arrogance and stubbornness. Cameron’s willingness to challenge House and her attractiveness are often mixed by House; Cameron often uses one to sell the other. Although she typically confronts him directly, she also uses social, intellectual, and sensual allure in order to interest House. After she resigns from House’s diagnostic team at the end of season three, she is often noted by others for her continued involvement with the team. Although she denies having, and does not appear to have an agenda in doing this, her appearances often play on her chemistry with House. • Persephone in The Matrix Reloaded • Irene Adler in Sherlock Holmes • Brigitte von Hammersmark in Inglorious Basterds • The Black Cat in the Spider-Man comic series • Samantha Jones in Sex and the City. • Tricia 'The Dish" Jones in Mallrats: Trish catalogs romantic encounters with men in order to gather experiences to write a tell-all book. At one point in the film, it is suggested by another character that Trish is at an accelerated grade level (at age 15 she is a senior in high school) because of favoritism. After making a tape of an encounter with middle-aged men's clothing store owner Shannon Hamilton, who antagonizes the film's main characters by establishing himself as an authority figure, Trish makes the tape public during the taping of Truth or Date and Hamilton is taken into custody on criminal charges • Catherine Tramell in Basic Instinct • Lorena Wood in Lonesome Dove • Satine in Moulin Rouge! • Laurie Juspeczyk / Silk Spectre in Moore’s and Gibbons’ Watchmen.

Archetype Info Description:

A Teammate succeeds by cooperating or interoperating with another character with the hopes of producing a positive outcome. Lending her time, her efforts, and her attention to a counterpart, she is able to encourage or support her counterpart in a way that builds or maintains a relationship based on trust and understanding In order to inspire trust in others, a Teammate shows them that she cares. She is attentive to her counterparts feelings and motivations: she tends to know what her counterpart is feeling and why. If her counterpart fails, she might provide some amount of consolation, either as encouragement or to provide reassurance that the failure is not as bad as it might seem. She will commiserate. She will share in excitement for a victory and will wish her counterpart luck when things are uncertain.

A Teammate is diligent. She tries to keep a step ahead of her counterpart in order to anticipate his or her next move or thought. She also listens continuously to both the verbal and the non-verbal information that her counterpart provides to her and weighs it against what she already understands Her responses to her counterpart make it clear that she is invested in her counterpart, in their relationship, and in the hope that the next outcome will be positive. She may work to maintain a relationship over a distance or to understand her friend in a time of change She may be responsible for the completion of a project where she needs to work with peers or subordinates to ensure success.

Throughout all of this, a Teammate remains confident that her efforts to cooperate with her counterpart will ultimately benefit everybody. She resists the temptation to betray or slight her counterpart She stays positive and forward-thinking when she faces hardship or is antagonized by another character. She might even give up something she values in order to promote her counterpart Styles:

Assistant

An Assistant contributes to a positive solution by attending to the needs of her counterpart The Assistant's counterpart could typically use some help doing what he or she does normally, and the Assistant provides this help. She may be attentive and self-sacrificing; she may also just want to be helpful However an Assistant contributes, her contribution furthers the efforts of her counterpart and by assisting her counterpart, she is able to provide a resolution that is beneficial to both herself and her counterpart

There is frequently an inequality between an Assistant and her counterpart in ability, capacity for commitment, or social currency; because of this, she either chooses to defer to her counterpart or accepts when her counterpart suggests that she play a subordinate role. Coach A Coach relates to her counterpart by insisting that the counterpart embrace an improved method of thinking or acting. She may do this in a legitimate position of leadership in a group as a coach, as a teacher, as a supervisor, or as a mentor. A Coach is typically driven to succeed and determined to find a way to make things function correctly. They insist on solutions and attitudes that are forward-thinking and encourage or challenge her counterpart to do the best thing either for himself or herself.

The Coach frequently relates to her counterpart on a superior (or near-equal) level Both characters may have similar levels of ability, similar capacity for commitment, and possess similar social currency. Generally the Coach will keep her counterpart's position in check. Qualities:

• Considerate • Hopeful • Attentive • Thoughtful

• Diligent • Possesses a moral compass Flaws:

• Occasionally quick to anger • Glosses over issues and imperfections • Stubborn or unyielding in certain situations • Overprotective of others Background:

Why does she relate well to others and make friendships a priority? Why is her counterpart significant to her, what needs do they fulfill for her? She may have previously been a Teammate to her counterpart She may have grown up in a large family or in a family that is large, and where people frequently interact to produce complete daily or domestic tasks. She may have played sports or competed on a team where the diligence, endurance, and self denial produced the best possible result for the team. She may have served in the military at one point.

She might just be inclined naturally to make friends because of her natural inclination to seek the best possible outcome, or might be gregarious and adventurous to the point where people she meets would need to be some sort of villain or villainess to resist her friendliness. Occupations:

• Teacher • Secretary

Examples • Rachel Dawes in Batman Begins/ The Dark Knight: Rachel Dawes and Bruce Wayne were friends as children: Rachel's mother was a housekeeper at Wayne Manor. The opening scenes of Batman Begins depict Bruce and Rachel playing hide-and-seek through the Wayne Manor grounds; Bruce claims that the an arrowhead Rachel has found is his because it's on his father's property After Bruce falls through the hole into the cave beneath the grounds and is retrieved by his father, he secretly gives the arrow to Rachel, who later returns the arrowhead to Bruce as a gift As adults, it is clear that Rachel is by no means wiling to submit to Bruce. When she learns that Bruce intended to kill Joe Chill (the mugger who killed Bruce's parents) in the courthouse, she slapped and admonished him, lecturing that his father would have been ashamed of his conduct. She disapproves of Bruce swimming in the hotel fountain (after having bought the hotel) with models. Before her death in The Dark Knight, she writes Bruce a note, explaining that she could never love him completely because she believes he needs the Batman persona to feel complete as a person.

• Trinity in The Matrix Trillogy • Jane Lane in Daria • Elaine Benes in Seinfeld • Dotty in Pee Wees Big Adventure • Carla Tortelli in Cheers • Nicky Parsons in The Bourne Ultimatum: Previously a member of Treadstone 71, the organization responsible for Bourne and several of the assassins who oppose him throughout the film series, Nicky has defected from Treadstone and is now working to assist Bourne. The two are able to work nearly seamlessly in order to escape Tangiers. I n a scene at the end of the film where Bourne is featured in a newscast, Nicky watches affectionately from a table in a diner In the scene where Nicky dyes and cuts her hair, she attempts to style it the same way as Marie Kreutz (Bourne's counterpart in The Bourne Identity and in the opening scenes of The Bourne Supremacy). She also attempts to recreate a scene from The Bourne Identity where, after dying Maries hair, Bourne and Kreutz become romantically involved. Bourne makes it clear, though, that Nicky will not be replacing Marie in his mission to reach Treadstone headquarters in New York; Bourne clearly feels guilty for willingness to make Marie a partner, which led to her demise at the beginning of The Bourne Supremacy.

Archetype Info Description: A Ray of Sunshine succeeds by sharing enjoyment and fulfillment with others. By being forthright with others and approaching the world without prejudice, she establishes herself as an honest, kind person and encourages the trust and understanding of other characters. By approaching life with confidence in the capacity for good in others, and the world in general and by encouraging others to embrace a similar positivity, she is able to establish her outlook as beneficial to others.

The Ray of Sunshine is often unaware of, or unwilling to accept more conventional ways of approaching the world, and is often unable to comprehend many of the things that many of her counterparts take for granted She will either refuse or fail to understand necessary evils, and frequently point them out to others as unnecessary ones. She will likely not be good at telling lies or keeping a straight face when others tell them. She will be unwilling to suffer one friend betraying another

Unassuming and accepting can easily be confused with being naAf^e A Ray of Sunshine is not necessarily helpless, though. Her curiosity can easily make her introspective, articulate, and intelligent. She may discover things intuitively or by applying common sense. She is often quick to learn things, and curiosity often leads her to be inquisitive. Where common sense leads her to connect the dots creatively, she may also show a rich imagination. Unassuming and open do not necessarily translate to personal isolation, either A Ray of Sunshine might not relate to her more conventional counterparts on a levelthey might expect from anybody else, but they may engage others by asking questions,encouraging them, or suggestions. She may attempt to lend a helping hand or warn somebody of a danger she anticipates. She may simply do something nice for somebody else.

evenby providing

If a Ray of Sunshine is characterized by openness to the world, important questions in her development (through her story) tend to be whether she will change as a result of her experiences and how. Frequently a Ray of Sunshine will transform into anothertypeof character inreaction to her experiences. She may discover a sense of resolve, or she may decide to continue to enrich her experience and expertise. She may discover she is a born leader orhas a knack for taking care of things. She may also lose faith in a positive outcome. Styles:

Explorer The Explorer seeks out new experiences to learn from proactively. She may find it by taking the next logical step (she may know A and B. but not C, which might seem like the next logical step), because something in the next step speaks to her (she may deduce that, some point later on), or even because she understands that a new experience might be valuable to her in some way (for example, she is trying to learn a trade). The Explorer is less likely than the Tagalong to change drastically as a result of her experiences.

givenA and B, Z comes at

Tagalong The Tagalong is drawn into new experiences by accompanying another character. She is willing to leave her comfort zone, but she has not found a reason to do so on her own. She may see a reason to follow the other character or she may be coaxed by the other characters words or actions.She might embark on a new learning experience that was recommended by somebody else. The Tagalong is frequently more resistant than the Explorer to moral ambiguities and uncertainty. She also tends to be more likely to transform as a result of her experiences. Qualities:

• Curious and often eager to learn new things • Intelligent, especially book smart • Adventurous and willing to try new things

• Introspective • Typically obedient Flaws:

• Occasionally gullible, tendency to be unassuming of the intentions of others • Often self-unaware; unsure of what she might like or dislike, or of what she might be able to do • Impractical; opponents will often characterize her insights as unnecessary • Open to new things, sometimes perceived as recklessness • Often cast by others as naAve Background: What caused her curiousity, and why she is so open to others and new experiences? Perhaps a strong adult figure in her childhood encouraged her curiosity or sense of wholesomeness. Perhaps a childhood friend reenforced it. Perhaps her past was repressive, which new and unhindered experience allows her to move beyond (or even confront). Perhaps she hasn't had an opportunity to "grow up" Maybe she’s been living in fear or in anticipation of something her whole life in which that she has lost faith, or maybe her sense of wholesomeness is something more innate, maybe she just loves the world and everybody in it.

Occupations:

• Teacher • Gardener • Princess • Painter

Examples • Sun Paik in LOST: Sun boards Oceanic Flight 815 (the flight that originally crashes on the island) by following her husband, Jin-Soo Kwon to the airport, where she meant to leave him in order to start a new life for herself in the United States Because Jin was kind to Sun at the airport, she decided against leaving him and decided to accompany him on a business trip her father (Jin's employer) had sent Jin on. A question that frequently confronts Sun throughout the series is whether in situations where Jin’s life appears to be in danger, if Sun will abandon hope for a positive outcome for Jin's survival and surrender to manipulating others the way her father does as the president of an automotive company. In the fifth and sixth seasons of the show, Sun uses money from her father's automotive business to attempt to locate her husband On the island. Sun plants and tends a garden where she grows herbs and vegetables, to both contribute to the group and maintain peace of mind. In a scene where she returns to the garden after an extended absence, she begins to tend it again, pulling weeds

• Alice in Walt Disney's Alice in Wonderland • Lucy Whitmore in 50 First Dates

• Sarah Connor in The Terminator • Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs • Marie Kreutz in The Bourne Identity • Remy 'Thirteen'A Hadley in House, M.D.: Thirteen’s sense of curiosity has and openness to trying new things make her a an excellent diagnostician. In the episode "Joy,"A for example, it is revealed that Thirteen knows how to purchase and evaluate cocaine, which assisted in the diagnosis of two patients with familial Mediterranean fever. She claims that not knowing whether she has Huntington’s makes it possible for her to do things she might not be able to do otherwise; once she learns that she does have the gene mutation that causes the disorder, she begins to participate in activities that are self-destructive. For the rest of her appearances on the show (to the premiere of the seventh season), a central question to episodes that focus on her character is whether the sense of personal doom that follows the diagnosis will overcome her, to the point that she will lose hope in her capacity to produce a positive outcome. • Julia Sullivan in The Wedding Singer • Meredith Grey in Grey’s Anatomy • Princess Leia in The Empire Strikes Back • Ariel in The Little Mermaid

Archetype Info Description: A Table for One succeeds by distancing herself from a group that she is otherwise a part of. Instead, she retreats to herself and either accepts what she encounters by attempting to make the best of it or rejects it via critcism. By living a life that does not readily accept the world around her, she is able either to champion an inner strength persevere in a conflict that affects her inwardly, or to successfully reject a world (or part of it) that antagonizes either the Table for One or something that she values. A Table for One also tends to be a creature of habit Because she focuses her attention inward, with the main action in her story taking place within her psyche, it is atypical for her to address the outside world with anything other than the most basic interactions. She does not strive for dynamic interactions.

She is often aware of the disapproval of people around her. Nobody likes a know-it-all, let alone an opinionated know-it-all: thus, she tends to either guard her insights or reveals them only to people she trusts deeply

She will also likely be dissatisfied that she does not branch out beyond the confines of her inner world, but she is content that she is a good person herself A Table for One is the sort of character that, one way or another, when life gives her lemons, she makes lemonade. The lemonade might be sweet, though, or it might be bitter. In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy Gale consistentlyattemptsfirst to see the best in everybody but alsotends to despair. In Daria, despite her negative outlook on everybody, Daria Morgendorffer tends to make jokes about what she finds in others that she does not like. She succeeds in a manner similar to the Outsider: since she can removeherself from herimmediate social situation, shecan eitherto gain insight on it or to resist it.

Styles:

Social Critic

The Social Critic separates herself from the group on grounds that what she observes in the group is objectionable. She tends to be pessimistic, refusing to accept (or even rejecting) actions or attitude based on their relationship to whatever it is she has determined is objectionable. For the Social Critic, there is no way to reconcile her values or way of thinking with her peers Because of this, she will often see (or present) herself as a sort of victim or subject of the values she isolates herself from.

Often the Social Critic defines herself by her separation: she sees herself as an iconoclast, a rebel, or as an untapped moral resource in the company of evil or disgrace

She is also likely to react in some way to things she finds distasteful. She may make comments, either to herself or to other characters, on what she perceives are ills in the world in which she lives. Devotee

A Devotee separates herself from the group in order to promote a certain ideal, or way of thinking or feeling. By separating herself from the group, she is able to avoid the influence of the group on whatever it is has devoted herself to and concentrate on remaining loyal to it. Typically, she is confident, patient, and positive, but is also willing to sacrifice herself for whatever it is she has devoted herself to. A Devotee will likely attempt to see the good in the people or situations she isolates herself from. At the same time, though, she might disagree with them to a degree that cannot be reconciled; where it becomes impossible to make sense of (or ignore) the feelings, she may withdraw from the group even further or look to the object of her devotion for guidance. She may confront threats to her devotion, but she has also been characterized by storytellers as suffering without complaint. A Devotee will typically reserve judgement of things she encounters in order to avoid involvement in her feelings. Qualities:

• Self reliant • Introspective • Patient • A sense of decency Flaws:

• Unwilling to engage in direct confrontation • Single-minded or non-dynamic in their thinking • Relatively unfeeling • Reserved, often unwilling to reach out to people or for new experiences. • Reactive; does not seek to actively participate in her surroundings Background:

Why is she aloof and introverted? What occured in her live to cause the retreat? Perhaps she lives with people she has reason to believe do not understand her or whom she does not understand Maybe she sees something morally wrong in the way these people are living. Perhaps she was exposed to her inner world at a younger age, or perhaps (like Lisa Simpson with the saxophone) she was given a glimpse of a world outside of her immediate situation, which encouraged her to daydream or otherwise see her world differently than the people around her

Occupations:

• Computer Security Expert (Hacker) • Writer • Critic • Archeologist • Rare Book Collector

• Art Restorationist

Examples • Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz: Dorothy’s top priority in Oz is returning home. Throughout the film, wherever she is confronted by morally ambiguous situations, such as the trees throwing apples at Dorothy and the Scarecrow, or where the Cowardly Lion tries to bite Toto, she handles herself with composure and attempts to put her best and most decent foot forward When Dorothy scolds the Cowardly Lion for chasing Toto, she did so by appealing to his sense of decency. By choosing to remain decent, she insulates herself from Oz, but at the same time is able to work within it in order to reach her goal of returning home. Her reactions to magical occurrences in Oz suggest that she is oblivious to its specific wonders and magic. This is also developed by virtue of the fact that she is from a small town in the American midwest. When she is asked by Glenda, the good witch of the North, whether she is a bad witch or a good witch, Dorothy immediately and politely denies either option: "Oh, I'm not a witch at all."A

• Veronica Corningstone in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy • Shosanna Dreyfus in Inglorious Basterds • Solara in The Book of Eli • Allison Reynolds in The Breakfast Club * Meg Griffin in Family Guy

• Daria Morgendorffer in Daria: Daria is portrayed simultaneously as the character with the greatest insight into people around her and the greatest sense of misunderstanding. She rejects the materialism and elitism of her parents, her sister, and her peers at school in order to maintain what she believes honesty with herself and a set of values that specifically reject materialism and elitism. Dialog for the show is usually developed around pithy statements Daria makes to uphold her sense of idealism and ridicule individuals who appear to have missed the mark. Frequently, the show’s episodes are resolved when Daria reconciles her personal world outlook and attitudes with the outlooks and attitudes of characters like her sister, her parents, and her schoolmates. She arrives at some sort of understanding that also usually provides an amount of personal insight and suggests that, perhaps, she is not as distant as she might think from the people she can’t stand to watch or listen to.

To provide a contrast to this, the final gag of each episode usually portrays one of these characters behaving ridiculously, without self-awareness.

While he is prone to making rash decisions and acting on emotion, he does not harbour any resentment for even the worst fate hands to him and is shown to care deeply for those who work around him. Angel is genuinely the most open and approachable member of the homicide department. His clothing is sgta^yl.and cheery, he usually wears a smile, and is empathic and sensitive to those around him. He is interested in spirituality, and believes in a higher power. Very ^j£. With a fedora, clipped beard and refined, gentlemanly demeanour, Angel is a friendly face who stands for what's right.

The wellbeing of friends and colleagues is extremely important to Angel, and he has risked his life to protect those he cares about. For the majority of the series, he has been the most senior detective in the field; it's his job, duty and nature to look out for those around him. He is also a big brother, and practically raised his little sister.

Archetype Info Description: A Valedictorian succeeds by demonstrating the value of her knowledge, experience, or understanding to the group. By disciplining and pushing herself to develop strong and refined experience and expertise and by understanding ways either can be made useful to others, she is able to help other characters and make a positive difference in the story she plays a role in. A Valedictorian is matter-of-fact. She is very observant, guick to evaluate the information she collects, catalogs it for future use, and retrieves it when necessary. She is typically discerning, organized, proactive, reflective, and tenacious. She is reluctant to give up a clue that might lead to a better understanding of her area of expertise and likes solving mysteries. She generally enjoys reaching a solution, an understanding, or an insight before most, if not all of her peers

She is also resourceful, using her experience and expertise in situations that are uncertain or hazardous in order to ensure a positive outcome. She solves problems and offers advice and may devise strategies. She makes and keeps plans. This,along with herothergualities, generally lends sense of credibility among her peers; her friends trust her because she is smart and reliable, and her enemies fear her for the same reasons.

her a

Despite the fact that she is thoughtful, though, she is also freguently awkward around others Because her expertise (her relationship to what she knows) is what allows her to see and understand things that others do not, it makes sense that,the more she knows, the more likely it is oftenthatit is difficult for her to relate to others readily. Typically, she may keep close circle of friends whom she can trust to understand her (or at least consider her less conventional ideas), but she may not be interested in pressing her luck beyond that Styles:

Easy Read An Easy Read works to develop an expertise relevant to the group, who often employs more common sense, empathy, and strategy in order to learn and understand things Because of this, she often seems less driven when compared to a Studier. She is often very sociable, relating (and lending her expertise) to others with apparent ease. She also tends to bear a more defined sense of what within her area of expertise is acceptable or objectionable to others, either within the group or at large She may still decide to keep a close group of friends, but usually she seems less confined by this need than the Studier The Easy Read is also often more patient with her peers than the Studier. She may seek redeeming qualities in things that other characters (or the audience) rejects or she may be privy to a truth that is not obvious to others.

Studier A Studier's knowledge results from discipline and self-challenge. She learns, essentially, because she is driven to. She will likely read in some fashion, but she might also attend seminars, or she might participate actively in her area of interest. She may enjoy dissecting frogs for science class or build robots in her spare time. She may be an exceptional literary scholar She might be a reliable legal resource or a medical doctor. Because the source of her expertise is often so formal, and because she is characterized in part by her discipline and drive, she is subject to awkwardness among her peers. She might not easily understand them or make decisions that they do not easily understand She might say or do things that make sense to her (and within her area of expertise) but which come across as abrasive, obstinate, or even thoughtless to less informed peers Qualities:

• Valuable because she sees things other characters do not • Very focused • Good abstract thinking skills • Excellent memory/ recall skills • Resourceful - tends to be a quick thinker

• Good strategist Flaws:

• Uncertain, if not unaware or even uninterested how others percieve her • Has difficulty relating to others • Mechanical view of people around her • Fails to comprehends insights that are evident to others

Background: Why does she thirst for knowledge and use her specific approach to acquire it? Why does she know as much as she does, and why is she either intuitive or thorough and disciplined? Maybe she comes from a very secure and encouraging family situation and learns (or has learned) in order to make something positive out of her life. Maybe she was a tomboy or an awkward teenager, and learning (and demonstrating what she knows) provided a sense of accomplishment or a degree of consistency in life. Maybe she is just insatiably curious and challenges herself in order to follow her expertise to the next logical step

Occupations:

• Librarian • Student • Engineer • Teacher/College Professor • Lawyer • Photographer • Technician • Therapist/ Psychiatrist

Examples • Hermione Granger in The Harry Potter Series: Hermione is a veritable encyclopedia of information on incantations, potions, magical creatures, and just about anything else in the world of Wizardry. At first, she befriends Harry and Ron because they are the only people who are willing to stand her tenacity. She is also very reliable for thinking on her feet Hermione is often seen correcting other characters. Harry and Ron accept this as Hermiones usual disposition. Other characters, however, often receive her as abrasive. She also very competitive. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, she becomes jealous of Ron's romantic involvement with another student.

• Agent Dana Scully in The X-Files • Diane Chambers in Cheers • Professor Minerva McGonagall in J.K. Rowlings Harry Potter series • Sophie Neveu Saint-Clair in Dan Browns The Da Vinci Code « Agent 99 in Get Smart

• Lisa Carol Fremont in Rear Window: While visiting L. B. Jeffries, Fremont learns of the stake-out Jeffries (while bedridden) he undertook, to understand why Lars Thorwalds bedridden wife is no longer visible through the rear window of his apartment Throughout the film, Fremont assists Jeffries in developing and testing hypotheses to either prove or disprove that Thorwald murdered his wife. While in the Thorwalds’ apartment, Fremont finds Mrs. Thorwalds wedding ring, which she and Jeffries believe is evidence of her death The plot of the film also follows Fremont's attempts to entice Jeffries to propose to marry her. Things she does or says (especially, for example, offering to help dig up the garden) seem tailored to proving to Jeffries that she is equally observant, intelligent, and daring

Archetype Info Description:

A Fighter succeeds by addressing concerns and completing the task at hand in the most direct manner possible. Whether with interpersonal confrontation, physical altercation or a professional roadblock, a Fighter shows endurance and guile to overcome incredible obstacles and meet challenges head-on, frequently leaving questions and niceties for later Throughout all of this, though, she is able to maintain a sense of control that keeps her in the favor of the audience once the dust has settled Above all else, a Fighter chooses or might be driven to face challenges head on. She is focused, driven, aware of both herself and her surroundings, and often eager to succeed. She might have hobbies, like boxing, yoga, martial arts, a or a recreational activity, helping her to focus and think on her feet She might play a sport with the boys (and outplay them at it). In order to do any of these things, a Fighter needs to be able to endure, which she will also need to do in order to succeed in her story. The distance a Fighter need to go in order to in order to meet her goal and the amount, type, and significance of torture she is able to endure in order to succeed is what the audience will weigh her success by.

Given all of this, though, a Fighter is not entirely free of moral responsibility. The moral weight of her actions acts as drag on her otherwise buoyant personality. She will doubt her actions, questioning the validity of her motivations, the consequences of her actions, or her method of fighting at some point in the plot, and she will need to grapple with this doubt in order to reach the resolution. Styles:

Amazon The Amazon is always willing to engage in confrontation with others. She either seeks conflict or seeks situations that result in conflict. She typically overpowers her opponents, by fighting in a way that intimidates, exhausts, or wounds them to a point where they are no longer effective. By dominating other characters, the Amazon is often able to ward off or intimidate potential threats. The Amazon is prone to needing (or creating) opponents or enemies in order to solidify her identity: without enemies there is no conflict; therefore, there is no fight.

Iron Lady The Iron Lady does not actively seek conflict, but does not avoid or give into opposition when it is presented She most often succeeds by remaining steadfast in her convictions and even in her approach to conflict. When she confronts opponents, she either appeals to their sense of order and discipline. She frequently has some sort of duties or responsibilities that she tends to when a conflict is presented: her reaction to conflict often reflects steadfastness to these responsibilities. She carries herself with a strong sense of discipline, which she applies in both determining what should be done and in what is acceptable Qualities:

• Tough, both physically and emotionally; it takes a lot to dishearten a Fighter • Quick thinker • Difficult to confine or otherwise to deny in completing the job at hand • Displays a strong sense of morality or moral bearing • Willing to be flexible in morality to complete the job at-hand Flaws:

• Single-minded or stubborn • Often, the ends to justify the means • Cold, mechanical, and unfeeling • Difficulty seeing the bigger picture Background:

Why does she have resolve and courage under fire? Perhaps she was witness to some sort of injustice when she was younger, maybe she witnessed tragedy and criticizes herself for her perceived weakness. Perhaps she is trying to seek revenge on somebody. Maybe a competitor showed her up at some point in the past, and (in order to prove self-worth) she feels the need to succeed competitively, or maybe she outperforms everybody around her naturally, and enjoys every second of it.

Occupations:

Examples • The Bride in Kill Bill, Volume 1: Formerly an assassin, The Bride was left to die by Bill at the beginning of the first chapter. The film's main plot line follows the Brides efforts to eliminate targets on a revenge list which, in addition to Bill, include Vernita Green and O-Ren Ishii, both of whom she dispatches during Volume 1. The Bride is moved when she notices that Greens daughter has witnessed her mother being murdered, as a consolation, the Bride offers that the daughter should take revenge on her as an adult. • Neytiri in Avatar • Rogue in X-Men • Trinity in The Matrix • Lois Lane in the Superman comic series • Carla Tortelli in Cheers • Agent Dana Scully in The X-Files As Mulders more-formal character foil, Scully is assigned Mulder to scientifically debunk his work on the X-Files. Whenever Scully doubts Mulder or his methods, she is willing to oppose either of these things openly. As a sort of procedural anchor, opposing Mulders tendency to work unconventionally, Scully is aware that scientific rigor and informed skepticism are not simply ways to wish away stories of aliens and monsters; they are a way to make useful sense out of something that otherwise would make no sense at all. To others, then, she often comes across as abrasive. Much of Scully's character development in the 7th season of The X-Files focus on her as strong-willed in these respects

Archetype Info Description:

The Caregiver provides care or guidance to the main character or a character that the audience empathizes with in the form of guidance or protection. As a result, the caregiver often lends strength to the individuals she cares for. The Caregiver is observant. She either frequently checks in with her charges, or she stays with them and watch to make sure that everything is fine. She watches and listens, but she typically won’t take much time to reflect on what she hears or sees

At the same time, she is attentive to the needs of her charges and she is mindful of hazards Out in the world (especially, for example, if there is a war underway), the potential for injury or emotional turmoil exists under nearly every rock and behind every door, thus the Caregiver is also watchful of wherever in the world things might be harmful of her charge Wherever she senses a danger, she will attempt to intervene, whether by explaining the source of the danger outright, or if she senses it more intuitively, by inventing a reason. At the moment that it is clear that her care is necessary, she will respond decisively, whether that be with scolding, retaliation, especially if she is a Mother Bear, nurturing, consoling, or even just advice. Whatever her disposition, she is onthe watch for anything that requires her attention, and when she notices something, she does everything she can to provide what she believes is appropriate care A Caregiver might need to be inventive in order to provide adequate care for her charges, especially where the path to do so is either obstructed or unclear She may need to find a way to evade hazards to her own security. She may need to lie to authorities or steal in order to provide adequate care to her charges. For a Caregiver, care is the most important thing; most breaches of general law and order are understandable to the audience.

Styles:

Mother Bear

Mother Bears are noteworthy for their protectiveness and willingness to actively risk themselves in order to care for their charges A Mother Bear might steal, lie, or even worse in order to provide security or other wellbeing for her charge; they also tend to make a display of this, either to the audience or to another character. Since Mother Bears react to threats or perceived threats, the texts they appear in are often threat-heavy Mother Bears also tend to be quicker to suspect foul play by their charges and act as more of a disciplinarian than a Gardener Gardener A Gardener is a type of Caregiver who encourages the development of her charge She may do this by encouraging and nurturing her charge, by providing her attention, kindness, and positive reenforcement. She may need to remind her charges from time to time that they should take better care of themselves or that they shouldn't be so hard on themselves, but in general, a Gardener is confident that everything living will grow with time and if set in the right conditions. It should follow, then, that she is often depicted with a position or hobby where they either create or grow something, or where her home is visibly comfortable. In The Matrix, Neo visited the Oracle in her kitchen. She may enjoy growing plants Qualities:

• Caring • Attentive/ Empathetic

• Morally grounded • Observant • Excellent interpersonal skills Flaws:

• Occasionally unassuming • Occasionally overprotective • Self-justifying, especially with feelings • Tendency to rationalize behaviors as necessary care or necessary to provide care • Depending on relationship, may have difficulty disassociating with former charges • To her charges it is sometimes burdensome that care seems to outweigh practicality Background:

Why is she in her current role, and how did she forgo her own needs for others'? Maybe she is actually a mother Maybe she is a doctor, a nurse, or some other form of professional where providing care is part of the job description. Maybe she feels compelled to help others, and nurturing others is the best way to do so. Maybe she and her charge share some sort of history where, although she is not actually her charge’s mother, she provides care (for example, by mentoring) in a way that is helpful

Occupations:

• Nurse • Foster Mother • Babysitter • Nursery School Teacher • Nun • Soup Kitchen Owner • Homeless Shelter worker • Girl Scout Leader « Daycare Teacher

• Dog Breeder • Zookeeper • Nanny

Examples • Wendy Darling in J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan and Wendy: After Wendy sews Peter Pan’s shadow back onto him, Peter decides that Wendy should take care of him and the lost boys in Neverland Wendy, with Michael and John in tow, follows Peter "straight on ’till Morning," where she provides a care and encouragement for John, Michael, and the other lost boys. At the end of the final chapter, it is developed that Wendy is the first in a line of female characters who would play mother to Peter Pan, as the story ends, "long as children are gay and innocent and heartless." • The Oracle in The Matrix Trilogy • Sara Connor - Terminator II: Judgement Day • Edith Bunker in All in the Family • Dorothy Boyd - Jerry Maguire (1996) played by RenA©e Zellweger • Mo’at in Avatar • Lois Griffin in Family Guy: As a foil to her bumbling husband Peter, Lois often needs to act as the voice of reason when dealing with Peter, either of their three unruly children, their dog Brian, who is infatuated with her, or anyone else she encounters. As head of the household, Lois is skeptical of what she hears and challenging of things she does not agree with. In the episode "Breaking Out is Hard to Do,"A the scene at the house while Lois is in jail for shoplifting a Ham for the family to eat, and the immediate disarray both the house and the family have fallen into without her guidance illustrate her effectiveness with characters within the house. Her confrontation of the mother of one of the bullies in the episode "Halloween on Spooner Street"A illustrates her protectiveness

• LOSTs Eloise Hawking (played by Fionnula Flanagan) as Mother to Daniel Farraday and mentor to Desmond Hume. • Mother Courage, the title character of the play by Bertolt Brecht • Mother Abigail in Stephen King’s The Stand • Pam Landy in The Bourne Ultimatum

Archetype Info Description: A Tyrant is someone who antagonizes or opposes characters the audience empathizes with by his abuse of power in a leadership position. His abuse and hunger for more power, which is to be used for his sole enjoyment, causes hardship to those who support him either publicly or privately. His priorities are misguided as he tries to exert and affirm his power, or succumbing to his own personal needs A Tyrant may come off as a good leader and a politician, showing up for work and for public events. He may be charismatic. He may appear judicious. He may even encourage his subordinates. That being said, he is nearly always distracted, and will try to compensate by putting on the appearance of normalcy. His Authoritarian side may come out in the form of giving speeches to his constituents to maintain public support, while hiding his Philandering side so that he can enjoy his selfish and often unethical activities. His secretive behavior causes the Tyrant to become seclusive. A Tyrant might accept bribes, either as a Philanderer, in order to profit from his position or, as an Authoritarian, in order to gather capital needed to continue to secure or further secure authority. A Tyrant's misdeeds results in the creation of enemies: he is threatened by them and what they represent. He’s always on the lookout for enemies and may make them a public example when he eliminates them. A Tyrant might not start out as a Tyrant, but as a leader who has had to make personal sacrifices in order to perform his duties. Ultimately, the Tyrant comes into being because of the increasing lack of balance in his life and his need to remain in power

Styles:

Authoritarian

The Authoritarian takes undue measures to control his subjects. Authority ultimately becomes the highest cause, both for the Authoritarian and his people Often, he enacts policies or sets rules that provide unfair consequences for misbehavior. He may seek out and challenge (or even threaten) opposition to his authority, or subversively attempt to influence the efficacy of challenges to his power. He may rig elections. He may declare martial law.

Philanderer The Philanderer fails his charges for more-personal reasons. He puts a higher price on a personal priority than on promoting the greater good, because of this, he misses opportunities to provide security and prosperity (or freedom) for his people. He may use his position of power to enjoy delights that would not be available to him otherwise Qualities:

• Driven and highly motivated • Organized • Strong Interpersonal Skills • Projects a sense of authority • Strong understandings of justice and fairness, if only to convince his charges of it Flaws: • Authoritarian, unyielding

• Philanderer, inconsistent • Judgmental

• Hypocritical • Selfish - if safeguarding the throne is requisite of holding it • Overwhelmed or burned out under the weight of his responsibility • Often visibly selfish or self-interested Background:

Why does he have such strong leadership potential and why or how was it compromised? Perhaps the official life he leads is unyielding to the point that (as a Philanderer) he is able to find a personal outlet It could be that the source of his political authority is largely recognized as illegitimate and, in order to suppress any arguments to the contrary within his constituency, he has established a draconian system of control. Maybe he believes or has convinced himself that there is a threat to his constituency or his autocracy, and that the only way to defeat it is to prevent its influence at every level imaginable Maybe he revels in power and would like nothing more than to demonstrate it.

Occupations:

• Dictator

Examples • The Sheriff of Nottingham, the legend of Robin Hood in The Sheriff of Nottingham taxed inhabitants of Nottingham at a rate that increased their poverty. When Robin Hood and his merry men began to rob from the rich to give back to the poor, the Sheriff of Nottingham put a bounty on Robin Hood's head By doing so, he used the poverty that he created to incentivize maintaining that poverty. • Captain Hook in J. M. Barries Peter Pan and Wendy • Big Brother in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four • Megatron in the Transformers television series • Jabba the Hutt in The Return of the Jedi • Commodus in Gladiator • Commodus in Gladiator: Commodus usurped the position of Caesar by killing Marcus Aurelius: Aurelius had originally considered Maximus as a better fit for the position. In order to eliminate Maximus as a threat to the usurped position as ruler, Commodus arranges for the murder of Maximus and his family. Once he discovers that Maximus has survived, has been fighting in the Colisseum as a Gladiator, and plans to seek revenge for the murder of his family, Commodus is unable to dispatch Maximus because he fears disapproval from the crowd. Throughout the film, Commodus seems to fail in recognizing the responsibilities of being emperor, instead, seeking validation in other characters by whether or not they love him as Caesar.

Archetype Info Description: A Saboteur antagonizes or opposes a character the audience empathizes through inciting others via the use of facts, truths, half-truths and observations. He manipulates others into guestioning accepted structures of meaning and authority and promotes a dangerous form of self-centeredness, encouraging to undermine or even destroy systems that cause harm and misery, or even ruin to his victims.

His dangerous brand of selfishness undermines the status guo, insisting that those who maintain the status guo is unjust or imposing. When the smoke clears and the damage is done through his direct participation or through inciting others to do his dirty work, the Saboteur is either blamed or takes the credit for what has happened In order to gain support, the Saboteur goes public with his claims and manufactured evidence. He may organize or participate in riots or unlawful protests, terrorize wealthier victims through the use of gangs, or even steal things from people. He may do outrageous things, such smoking in a hospital or disrupt church services. He may also undermine support for media figures or community organizations by inciting others to make unfounded accusations in public. While his actions may seem random and reckless to the naked eye, the Saboteur knows who (or what) he is rebelling against, and why. On a deeper level, the Saboteur often faces some sort of personal dilemma or has an ax to grind with those in authority and their power structure. He is keen to detail; he sees things that other people normally do not see, and makes connections that other characters or even the audience cannot make without further explanation. Whether his observations are obvious or not, he tends to encourage either another character or the audience to reconsider something previously taken for granted If his self perception is of any significance (to some Saboteurs this might be another potential form of control and therefore expendable), he may feel compelled to justify his rebellion to himself in some way.

The Saboteur is reckless, disregarding the consequences of his actions in the name of some assumed cause and revels in seeing the object of his sabotage either destroyed, crippled, or simply confused. Styles:

Anarchist An Anarchist seeks to undermine order but his actions do not follow a specific plan or specific motivations. Anarchists tend to act alone, and their actions are not meant to either make a point make change Anarchists tends to be more antisocial than Revolutionaries are: they do not need any sort of validation for their actions other than witnessing the chaos and destruction that they are able to create. This may be because they believe that personal relationships are also a means for control (therefore, for injustice) or because they simply prefer to work alone

Revolutionary A Saboteur seeks to undermine order with a specific plan, citing specific reasons for his actions. The revolutionary often destroys existing things in order to prove a point, expose what he perceives is a concealed evil, or create a broader sense of change A Revolutionary tends to employ a more social approach when relating to others than the Anarchist does. The Revolutionary will often organize a group of some kind and gain some amount of validation from the fact that the members of his group believe the same things he does. This tends to strengthen his convictions: if others believe a Revolutionary’s claims that structures of power are corrupt, it may seem less-likely that the claims are mistaken. Qualities:

• Independent • Perceptive and evaluative • Intelligent, capable problem-solver • Strong sense of personal integrity • On the surface, vey tough-skinned; Underneath, very sensitive • Energetic Flaws:

• Highly unpredictable • Prone to volatility or sudden anger • Often unwilling to subordinate or play a specific role • Difficult in interpersonal relationships • Difficulty encouraging trust in others • Stubborn Background:

Why does he believe that structures of authority are dispensable and should be destroyed, and why are his ideas better, regardless of their impact? Maybe he lost something (or everything) he previously valued to a corrupt system of power, or was abused by the power structure Maybe he has rationalized that currently standing structures of government are to blame, when something else, even the Saboteur himself, is the actual cause.

Occupations:

Examples • Jack Merridew in William Golding’s The Lord of the Flies As the leader of the choir boys, Jack is disappointed that Ralph is elected to lead the band of castaways and not him. Jack organizes the choir boys to leave the main group and start their own. The new group, which is much-more hedonistic, antagonizes members of Ralph’s group, eventually killing Piggy

• The Joker in The Dark Knight • Hamlet in Hamlet • Harold Lauder in Stephen King’s The Stand • Senator Palpatine/ Darth Sidious in Star Wars, episodes l-lll • Norman Bates in Psycho: After murdering his mother and her lover, Norman Bates continues to operate the Bates Motel on his own, and creates a sort of mausoleum out of her quarters Bates dresses as and assumes the identity of his mother to kill female guests of the Bates Motel whom he is attracted to. When Marion Crane visits the motel, he dresses as his mother and kills her while she is in the shower • Otis Driftwood inThe Devil’s Rejects • The Trash Can Man - Stephen King’s The Stand • Ra’s al Ghul in Batman Begins

Through making unkept promises, projecting a false good impression, or through outright lying, The Player manipulates their victims into working with him and later denies them of any promised outcome.

The Players agenda lies beneath the superficial. He may convince a victim to give him money, lead someone on romantically, or convince someone to work with him; unfortunately for the victim, their desired benefit is not the endgame The Player recognizes the collateral damage he causes in terms of victim's pain and disillusionment, but discounts it because it is not his endgame. He will become defensive and points out that the victim chose to be victimized through their association. Knowing how they operate, they're always on guard against other Players. They work alone, keep their own books, and to allow others in to their world only when it is beneficial for them.

The Player usually tries to avoid accepting responsibility for victimizing others by taking up hobbies which are usually expensive and/or dangerous. An expensive hobby allows the Player to maintain a public facade while hiding his moral transgressions. A dangerous hobby enables a Player to live for the moment, such as gambling, keeping exotic or dangerous animals, or driving high powered sports cars.

Players are also risk takers and thrill seekers; they thrive on adrenaline and of living on the edge of success and defeat, constantly challenging themselves or others to one-up their performance. A character biography for a Player will likely include some information why he chooses to prey on others and why charm, specifically, is his method for doing so. Perhaps he (or somebody he cared about) was victimized at a formative age. or he tried to pursue a rewarding life legitimately and failed consistently. Maybe he lacks confidence to try leading a normal life because he was ridiculed by individuals who (themselves) possessed undeserved riches, or maybe he was simply raised in an environment that was ambivalent to the victimization of people who were not watchful.

Styles:

Gamer A Gamer antagonizes others through the desire to achieve goals he has set for himself. Although he has encouraged another character to trust in the promise of a positive outcome (to trust him, specifically), he fails to follow through on the promise due to some rationalization that places the need to perform before any internal desire to make good on this promise. By focusing on the need to perform and ignoring the needs of individuals around him, he either alienates or does harm to them. He could do this by setting a personal goal and trying the patience of his victim by refusing to interact with him or her. He could make a promise and fail to keep it. In order to succeed, he may deceive a character whom he has encouraged to depend on his judgement

Dandy A Dandy manipulates others in order to satisfy narcissistic ends very-frequently, his actions reflect some sort of vanity or elitism that victimization of others tends to both support and enforce. He may believe he is entitled to live a certain type of lifestyle or drive a certain type of car-he may also draw a sense of enjoyment of fulfillment from others cooperating with him. He will often present himself as much more of a friend or as a nonthreatening relationship (even bearing gifts) to his victim-the promise a Dandy typically provides is that, if the victim cooperates, a Dandy will allow them to participate in the impressiveness of his company or lifestyle

Typically a Dandy will attempt to justify his misappropriation of the patience of others as not causing any lasting or significant harm. He may argue that the harm he has caused is merely psychic and easily overcome. Qualities:

• Excellent interpersonal skills • Highly attentive, keen to detail • Very expressive • Usually pleasant to be around • Very audacious: confident and willing to take risks to reach a goal • Consistent Flaws:

• Rationalizes the answers to moral questions • Unsympathetic to or even contemptuous of others • Sees the world almost exclusively in terms of his business or his desires • Unwilling to take responsibility for mistakes or misdeeds

Background: Why does he choose to prey on others and why is charm, specifically, his method for doing so? Maybe he (or somebody he cared about) was victimized at a formative age Maybe he tried for a long time to pursue a rewarding life legitimately and failed consistently at it. Maybe he lacks confidence to try leading a normal life because he was ridiculed by individuals who (themselves) possessed undeserved riches. Or maybe he was simply raised in an environment that was ambivalent to the victimization of people who were not watchful.

Occupations:

Examples • Aegisthus in Homers The Odyssey: When Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae, left to help Menelaus return Helen from Troy, Aegisthus, who had previously driven Menelaus and Agamemnon from Mycenae because he believed it was his destiny to rule Mycenae, seduced Clytemnestra, the wife of Agamemnon and convinced her to murder Agamemnon when he returned from the Trojan War. The murder of Agamemnon was later avenged when Orestes, the son of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra killed both Aegisthus and Clytemnestra, and reclaimed the throne in Mycenae • Paris in The llliad • The Big Bad Wolf in Little Red Riding Hood • Harry Osborne in the 2002-2007 Spider-Man film series • Anthony Cooper in LOST • Harry Ellis in Die Hard • Harry Ellis in Die Hard: Hoping to secure a speedy and safe release from the terrorists, Ellis attempts to strike a deal with Hans Gruber, revealing that John McClane is Holly's ex-husband (Holly uses her maiden name), exposing Holly to Gruber personally and John by proxy. Throughout the attempted transaction, Ellis attempts to present himself to Gruber in the role of a friend or adviser, in which Ellis has the upper hand, which (if Gruber cooperates), Ellis will allow him to benefit from. Ellis' mistake in this is that he does not understand the motivations for the terrorists (the bearer bonds in the safe of the Nakatomi building); because of this, he is doomed not to be able to strike a deal with the terrorists.

NOTES

Angel is a friendly, good natured character who provides a sense of humanity and compassion in Dexter's life. While he is prone to making rash decisions and acting on emotion, he does not harbour any resentment for even the worst fate hands to him and is shown to care deeply for those who work around him. Angel is genuinely the most open and approachable member of the homicide department. His clothing is çgJoyj^yl and cheery, he usually wears a smile, and is empathic and sensitive to those around him. He is interested in spirituality, and believes in a higher power. Very 'zen1. With a fedora, clipped beard and refined, gentlemanly demeanour, Angel is a friendly face who stands for what's right.

The wellbeing of friends and colleagues is extremely important to Angel, and he has risked his life to protect those he cares about. For the majority

Archetype Info Description: An Opportunist antagonizes others in the way he shares enjoyment and fulfillment. After being open with (or encouraging openness from) his counterpart, he betrays the trust of his counterpart, either through overt confrontation or by taking covert, undue enjoyment fromtherelationship (or counterpart). By taking undue advantage of trust earned by relating (or appearing to relate) to another person, the Opportunist is able to profit personally on the anguish or hardship of a character who (it seems) might have been a valuable friend otherwise.

his

Companionship is powerful because of trust. With trust, a person can feel assured that if they need help their friend will be around to help out if needed Entering into a business venture, a friend will hold up their end of a deal

An Opportunist works within this sense of trust but shows motivations only for personal benefit Freguently, an Opportunist will be unwilling to compromise in any way. He may even seem antagonistic in this: he may outright reject any offer that doesn’t suit or benefit him, or he might even ridicule somebody for not thinking of him. Other times, he may be very willing to compromise. He may be encouraging, he may offer to help, he may offer to let his victim share the burden of his feelings The only difference between the two (unwilling to compromise and very willing to compromise) is the profitability of either of a situation. If it is more profitable to build a friend up by encouraging him or her, an Opportunist will do this; if it is more profitable to belittle them, an Opportunist will do this.

Styles:

Scoundrel A Scoundrel tends manipulate others for a specific reason, with little (if any) remorse. Typically his misappropriation of the patience of others causes significant or lasting harm to his victims. He can typically provide some sort of compelling rationalization for victimizing others. His actions (and their consequences) are often much more dramatic, frequently he victimizes others in order to survive. He may recognize that his actions are immoral or unjust, but his motivations for his actions outweigh (however easily) moral arguments against them. A Scoundrel is often a colder figure than a Dandy is, and he tends to be more wary of potential victimizers. Parasite A Parasite antagonizes others by creating a bond with that character and promoting his own enjoyment and fulfillment without promoting the enjoyment or fulfillment of his counterpart (his host, to follow through on the biological metaphor) in a way that is satisfying. The Parasite tends to be much less overt in betraying trust than a Scoundrel is. He could be a friend who is unscrupulous. He could be a husband or a boyfriend who forgets appointments or anniversaries or fails (or refuses) to understand the needs and feelings of his counterpart He could also be a friend who is rather uncaring, who manipulates his friends to get them to do what he wants. He could be an addict, whose dependence on either on the object of his addiction or on a counterpart who acts an enabler is harmful.

Qualities:

• Presents a strong semblance of dedication • Strong sense of resolve • Accommodating' appears to be accepting or inviting towards his victim

• Patient Flaws:

• Slow to anger • Tendency to rationalize thoughts or actions. As a Parasite, this is often defensively • Tendency to be stubborn or unyielding in certain situations • Tendency to gloss over issues/ imperfections Background: What factors caused him to betray his friends adn manipulate people for his gain? Perhaps his behavior is pathological and his behavior in the current text is predicated by a long series of similar incidents. At the same time, his betrayal might be unprecedented It could be that something in his immediate past caused him to value his current friendship less than he did previously. Or maybe the relevant information is more recent: maybe an intergalactic empire is threatening the independence of his mining operation, and betraying his friend is the only viable option to prevent this

Occupations:

Examples • Lando Calrissian in The Empire Strikes Back. Lando, welcomes Han Solo, Princess Leia, and the rest of the passengers on the Millennium Falcon when they land on Bespin. Calrissian, who at first seems hospitable, is revealed to be working for Darth Vader, to put Solo, Leia, and the others, in order to lure Luke Skywalker to fight Vader Calrissian reluctantly explains his betrayal once he is revealed

Once Darth Vader and his entourage (including Boba Fett, carrying the imprisoned Han Solo) leave Bespin, Calrissian immediately begins to assist the remaining passengers of the Falcon. Calrissian also participates in the mission to free Solo from Jabba the Hutt's palace on Tatooine in Star Wars Return of the Jedi • Tony Wendice in Dial M for Murder Wendice, a retired Tennis Pro who has discovered that his wife (Margot) is having an affair with an American mystery writer, devises a plan to murder her in order to claim her inheritance (Margot is wealthy independently of her husband). Wendice attempts numerous times to arrange for the death of his wife, portraying himself all the while as a concerned husband • Gollum in J.R.R. Tolkein's legendarium (especially the Lord of the Rings, trilogy) • Harry Lime in The Third Man • Cypher in The Matrix

• Henri Ducard (as the alter ego of Ra’s al Ghul) in Batman Begins • Alex Krycek in The X-Files • Marcus Brutus in William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar • Hamlet in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet • Obediah Stain in Iron Man • Angel in Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Archetype Info Description: An Insider succeeds by distancing himself from a group that he is otherwise a part of. They abuse their social status or position, rationalizing actions or attitudes that would otherwise be reprehensible An Insider might be domineering, insensitive, forceful, underhanded, or even simply thoughtless. Their misbehavior is often dismissed by moral authorities as a necessary evil of having a social elite or because of the Insiders value to a particular cause Regardless, status, wealth, affiliations, or job responsibilities give the Insider carte blanche to get away with things their victims cannot.

Insiders are often self-centered, arrogant and are bored by social interaction. They confuse discomfort as loss in exchange for a profit, and rudeness as directness. They assume that anyone of worth will share their perspective and those do not are not worth their time. Insiders tend to be very socially aware; their status or prestige brings them the illusion of power and respect. Rivals fear them. They acknowledge their worth and that of those in higher positions and those in lower positions. Styles:

Bureaucrat

The Bureaucrat is an Insider who believes that his performance in a position is the source of his personal worth. The Bureaucrat fulfills a need, because he is able to fulfill a need, he is valuable, and from his position of value he is able to antagonize others. For example, if an employee in a company is able to perform duties that no other employee is able to (or at a level that other employees either are not able to or simply were not assigned to), the employee could easily be characterized as a Bureaucrat if he uses his position to antagonize or otherwise oppose a character the audience empathizes with.

Elitist an Insider who believes that his status validates his actions. The status (on its own) that the Elitist carries is proof of his value, regardless of what he is able to demonstrate because the Elitist is in a position of power, he antagonizes others by assuming that they should respect his power Examples of this status might include personal wealth relationship to powerful parents (or friends), or simply comparative rank within a hierarchical organization. A parent who refuses to accept a child's talents or decision-making skills (especially when the child shows that he or she has earned confidence) might be an Elitist. A customer who is domineering, dismissive, or otherwise rude could be an elitist. Qualities:

• Very perceptive, good with details • Tends to see the forest for the trees. • Good thinker, especially with abstract ideas • Usually has a good sense of deductive reasoning • Very self-reliant, tends to work better alone than with teams • Tend to be independently-minded • Discerning • Patient Flaws:

• Resistant/ apprehensive of close personal relationships. • A tendency to be nit-picky or fussy - again, seeing the forest for the trees

• Projects feelings onto others • Moral relativity • Unreliable • Rationalizing, especially where personal survival is weighed against a social sense of right and wrong • Occasionally misrepresents others as elitist • Judgmental

• Arrogant Background:

Why is he socially and economically conscious and why would he choose to value either what he is, or what he does, more than his victim?

Insiders are often the victim of some injustice from a position of status or power and see their actions as a defense against further wrongdoing Maybe they feel entitled a status they inherited and believe that their value is intrinsic to their holding the position. It could be that he has reason to feel that there are potential challenges in his professional life and that he needs to manage them in order to maintain his position. They could also be workaholics, either by feeling unappreciated, ignored, or underpaid, and don't care if their words or actions are insulting or even harmful to others. Occupations:

• Stock Trader

Examples • Warden Samuel Norton in The Shawshank Redemption: Samuel Norton used his position as the Warden of a state penitentiary to coordinate the completion of public works jobs by prisoners; since prison labor was cheaper than skilled labor, he also received kickbacks. In order to avoid being discovered, Norton used prisoner Andy Dufresne, who had been a banker before he was wrongfully convicted of murder, to launder the funds. As Norton's need for Dufresne in this capacity increased throughout the film, Dufresne, understanding that the Warden was corrupt, challenged his authority. Norton, responding within his role as a Warden within the structure of the correctional system, imprisoned Dufresne in solitary confinement because Dufresne called him "obtuse." When it became clear that a fellow inmate had information that could be used to overturn Dufresnes case, Norton arranged for a guard to shoot the inmate, under the cover story that the inmate had attempted to escape the prison.

Toward the end of the film, Warden Norton takes his own life at a point where it seemed certain that he himself will be prosecuted for bribery and money laundering at a minimum. This is indeed dark irony in light of the amount that he relied on the value of his position to operate as a Bureaucrat; if convicted, he would be relieved of his position as a Bureaucrat, and with Dufresnes bookkeeping records as evidence, he would be convicted and would become the victim of the same correctional system he was successful in exploiting. Not wanting to live under the bureaucracy that he used to antagonize others, Norton chooses death to escape

• O’Brien in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four • Hans Landa in Inglorious Basterds • Shannon Hamilton in Mallrats • Lord Henry Wotton in Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray • Judge Elihu Smails in Caddyshack

• In a world that is slowly tearing itself apart, two distinct groups - the machines and the humans - vie for dominance, presumed to be necessary for survival. The Merovingian antagonizes Neo and those who work with him in order to maintain his own separate sense of superiority and self­ determinism, which is demonstrated through other characters which such as Rama Kandra, who respect his influence within the social community of the Matrix. For example, he attempts to prevent the humans from taking the Keymaker presumably because the Keymaker allows the Merovingian access he otherwise might not have had Although the Merovingian fashions himself in both films he appears in as a 'trafficker of Information," his position and functionality within the Matrix are never developed explicitly by another character

Even married life reflects the elitism that the Merovingian operates under. When he confronts Persephone for having delivered Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity to the Keymaker, Persephone challenges him by comparing her betrayal to his betrayal of her in the restaurant. • Agent Smith in The Matrix • Frederick Zoller in Inglorious Basterds • Man in Bambi • The Cigarette Smoking Man in The X Files

Archetype Info Description: An Evil Genius antagonizes or opposes a character the audience empathizes with in the way he demonstrates the value of his knowledge, experience, or understanding to the group. Whether it be with a strategy, a device, a cover story or some form of technology, an Evil Genius applies his knowledge with either carelessness or malice that poses a danger to other characters.

Just like the Expert, an Evil Genius is recognizable by his wealth of knowledge and experience in his field of expertise. He might be a scientist, a strategist, a professor, or play some other technical role, either for an organization or for himself. Whatever the role he plays, it is typically associated with by intelligence, industriousness, and intellectual independence Also like the Expert, an Evil Genius is usually better off working with some benefactor. If an Evil Genius is in the business of inventing new kinds of evil, business relationships cannot always be trusted. Where he does not avoid them altogether, he watches them as closely with possible and handles them with care

Unlike the Expert, decisions an Evil Genius make are not meant to benefit anybody other than an Evil Genius or his client. As a result, an Evil Genius typically operates not only outside of the lines of what is morally acceptable, but also operates outside of moral restrictions. An Evil Genius is often aware of the inherent danger and is careful to guard his relationships, both professional and personal, and the resources required in order to realize his plans.

An Evil Genius often justifies the means to arrive at a result by the value of the result. For example, he might use human subjects to test a weaponized virus. He might make his lab assistants work without pay. He might put others in danger with one of his inventions to make a rhetorical point during negotiations.

The severity of an Evil Genius as a villain is measured in the tenacity of the plots or devices he invents to antagonize other characters. The more sinister his motives, the more wicked his inventions, and the more elaborate and demanding both to the villain and his victims the enterprises he engages in, the more disturbing this villain will be to the audience Styles:

Mastermind A Mastermind develops plots, schemes, or traps to distract, threaten, or harm a character, place, or thing that the audience empathizes with. He is able to determine a specific point where his victim is vulnerable and develops a plan to exploit that point. He is a strategist, and his sense of strategy overcomes his capacity for empathy.

In contrast with a Mad Scientist, a Mastermind is often more aware and calculating of the "big picture." He is usually aware of the profit or loss that could result from a particular action: because of this, he can also usually think at least a couple steps ahead of both his victims and his enemies Mad Scientist A Mad Scientist is consumed by the drive to demonstrate a theory, learn a fact, or resolve a mystery to the point where his actions antagonize characters that the audience empathizes with. His absorption in his pursuits, such as his interest in finding an answer, leads him to decisions that weigh academic pursuits against the cost. For example, as a villain. Dr. Frankenstein exhumed bodies for use in creating the monster. He will invariably choose academic or intellectual pursuits, and is frequently characterized as either distracted from activities that would encourage the audience to empathize with him or view him as emotionally unhinged Qualities:

• Wealth of knowledge • Analytical • Ambitious

• Detail-oreinted • Well versed on topics of expertise • Very passionate (occasionally the point of animation) for their intellectual pursuits • Independent in their thinking: With a knowledge of complex systems or vast stations of a particular area of expertise, and an interest in furthering their pursuits, it is often difficult to beat them at their own game Flaws: • A tendency to overlook obvious or key details • A tendency to be subversive, covert, or in general, contradictory to conventional judgement and obedience

• A tendency to be or unsympathetic, assuming that misfortune results strictly from lack of foresight and preparation • Absorbed in pursuits, often leading to lack of awareness and apparent absent-mindedness

• Interested in, and spends time on a particular topic, leading to weakness in other areas • Often impractical • A tendency toward underdeveloped coping skills • A tendency to see life mechanically. An Evil Genius fails to evaluate the emotional consequences of his words or actions. • A Mad Scientist is typically absent-minded • Arrogant or self-absorbed in some way

• Can be emotionally volatile Background:

Why does he have the drive to demonstrate his knowledge and experience, and why does he choose to do so in a way that is potentially unacceptable or dangerous or antagonistic to others? Maybe he has the potential to make a significant breakthrough in legitimate research and fears reproach from his peers or from civil authorities Maybe he is frustrated that his intellect and discipline are not enough to garner him the sort of success and respect that peers who seem less-disciplined and less tenacious do not. Maybe a rival casts a shadow on his brilliance-the rival receives all the opportunities Maybe he has a superiority complex: maybe he is convinced that the knowledge he commands is too important to allow anybody or laws to keep him from delivering its true potential to the world.

Occupations:

• Scientist

Examples • Hannibal Lecter in the Silence of the Lambs: In order to get information on notorious serial killer at large Buffalo Bill, FBI Agent Clarice Starling visits with Hannibal Lecter, a former Psychiatrist. The striking similarities between the murders committed by Lecter and Buffalo Bill, which included cannibalism, leads Starling to discover Lecter, while working as a Psychiatrist, had previously had Buffalo Bill a.k.a. Jamie Gumb. Lecter toys with Starling, often providing codified and sometimes misleading information which Starling eventually deciphers in order to find and apprehend Gumb. • Hans Gruber in Die Hard • Maurice Conchis in John Fowles’ The Magus • Jigsaw in The Saw series (especially installments ll-IV) • Harry Lime in The Third Man • Jafar in Aladdin • The Grinch in Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Believing that he is excluded from the elaborate Christmas celebration in Whoville, the Grinch devises and executes an elaborate plan to sneak into every house, stealing every Christmas present and every bit of Christmas feast (even the Christmas Trees, and even the roast beast!). The next morning when the Grinch, having executed his plans, overhears the Whos’ joyous reaction to this development on Christmas Morning as they circle around the Christmas tree and begin to sing, the Grinch is challenged to evaluate his actions with not only his mind, but his heart as well. His resolution to the situation shows a willingness to overcome his motivations to antagonize the Whos with his expertise and embrace Christmas in a more evaluative way.

Archetype Info Description:

The Brute uses force to threaten and risk the safety of others by ignoring or failing to recognize the ramifications of his actions. He completes tasks at hand in the most direct manner possible Unlike the Action Figure who can separate action from consequence, a Brute uses force as a form of conflict resolution, regardless of the consequences. He may start a fight in a bar (or in a hospital, or at a wedding), either to resolve a conflict or to prove a point. He may argue with coworkers or with family members as a first response to opposition.

Brutes are usually aggressive and often volatile. They can be perpetually aggressive or hide behind a veneer of calmness. They can also be despondent Whatever their disposition, their destructiveness is often evident almost perpetually, even in everyday situations. As a result, Brutes tend to be isolated, any relationships usually involve intense competition, clearly defined boundaries, and a clear sense of social order Styles:

Sadist

The Sadist draws enjoyment or some type of fulfillment from conflict and pain. By causing harm to others, he is able to satisfy an internal need He may cause pain to others in person, or he may devise traps to or devices to inflict pain. He may be aware of the pain he causes or the fact that inflicting the pain satisfies the need or he may not. Frequently a Sadist is also depicted as either inflicting pain on himself or as preying on others. He may victimize small animals or other people weaker than himself. The boy who burns ants with a magnifying glass is a stock example of a Sadist. Funny uncles are Sadists

The Sadist tends to be introspective: he is frequently aware of the feelings of others, and how he can manipulate them to satisfy his need

Bully

A Bully antagonizes another character by simply being mean. By menacing other characters, a Bully is able to control them. By controlling them, he is often able to satisfy a different need A Bully might use force or the promise offeree; he may threaten another character instead of simply harming them. In Back to the Future, for example, Biff Tannen antagonizes George McFly (in 1956) primarily because he is a rival for the affection of Loraine Banes. By antagonizing George McFly. Biff is able to deny him the confidence he needs and, later in the film, finds in order to love Loraine and lead a fulfilling life. He also bullies McFly in order to convince him to do his work for him.

A Bully is often less emotionally-involved in antagonism than a Sadist is. He may target his victim's emotions or sap their resolve by confronting them physically, but a Bully’s goal in antagonizing others is rarely just self-satisfaction; there is almost always another motive that needs to be developed in order for a Bully to be believable Qualities:

• Very active, either as a thinker or physically • Hard working and diligent • Personally challenging • Tends to show intensity, passion, or pride in completing work • Results oriented • Often very tough, either physically and/or emotionally Flaws:

• Relative sense of right and wrong • Very frequently, the ends to justify the means • Tendency to get into trouble, either himself or those around him • Affinity for disorder, commotion

• Difficult to keep in one place • Tendency to be cold, systematic, and unfeeling • Tends to have difficulty seeing the bigger picture Background: What are the reasons for his outlook and actions, and why does he tend to resolve things in a physical nature? Perhaps his childhood was especially difficult, to the point that addressing immediate danger directly was the only viable option. Maybe his aggression is a result of fear Maybe he is miserable and as a result, has lost faith in the capacity of others to be receptive to him; because of this, he rationalizes that there is no loss in harming others

Maybe he feels trapped in his life. Perhaps his brutishness is the only way he can to address it or live with it with any amount of directness, or maybe anger and battle sustain him.

Occupations:

• Fighter • Mercenary • Boxer • UFC Fighter • Gladiator

• Football Player • Hockey Player • Bouncer

Examples • Venom/ The Black Suit in Spider-Man III: Originally from outer space, the Venom symbiote (the "Black Suit") is an organism that bonds with a host. It feeds on the host's aggression while at the same time provides strength After beginning to wear the black suit, the symbiote, in preference to his regular suit, Peter Parker discovers that the suit's hunger for aggression had begun to cloud his judgement, especially in situations where he fought Flint Marco, who is revealed to have killed Peters uncle, Ben Parker. In a number of situations, especially the sequences where Spider-Man and Sandman fight in the subway and sewer systems, or when Spider-Man saves Gwen Stacy from the falling building, Peter makes decisions that are far riskier than it seems he would have made otherwise The suit bonds with Eddie Brock, a rival of Peters, whose life Peter has destroyed as a result of the Black Suit's influence, and creates Venom, a creature who, feeding from Brocks hatred of Peter Parker sets an elaborate trap for Spider-Man that ultimately results in the death of his best friend Harry Osborne and threatens the same of his girlfriend Mary Jane Watson.

After Peter is able to unbond the suit from Brock, the suit is shown as an incomplete human form, suggesting that in order to be complete, it needs to find and to feed on the aggression of another host. • The Terminator inThe Terminator • Man in Bambi • Venom in The Spider-Man Comic Book Series • The Dinosaurs in Jurassic Park • Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire • Biff/ Buford/ Griff Tannen in the Back to the Future film series: In Back to the Future, Biff’s antagonization of the McFlys is one of the conditions that used to characterize 1986 as undesirable because George McFly did not challenge Biff, Biff antagonized George well beyond high school and into professional life, where Biff requires McFly to do his work for him. By challenging Biff in 1956, George was able to set a series of events in-motion that changed Biff’s antagonization is persistent throughout all five film timelines: In 1886, Buford Tannen and his band of outlaws terrorize Hill Valley (where Seamus and Maggie McFly live). In 1956, Biff Tannen and his gang terrorize Hill Valley (targeting George McFly specifically). In 1986, Biff has essentially made George his personal servant. In 2016, Biff (having discovered the time machine) travels to the past and provides his past self with a sports almanac (from 2016) that 1956 Biff can use to bet on sports events with. In the alternate 1986 that results from this, Biff murders George, marries and mistreats Loraine, has Doc Brown committed, runs a toxic waste business, and contributes to urban decay and general disorder.

Archetype Info Description:

The Misguided Visionary antagonizes others by promoting his own ideology, which he contends to promote a greater good Whether he's mistaken about his version of the greater good, or is overzealous in promoting it, the Misguided Visionary’s passion for a cause eclipses the capacity for his idealism to enlighten others. The Misguided Visionary’s vision does not ring true to the audience and most often, he develops his ideology to suit his purposes. The Misguided Visionary tends to to be observant, thoughtful, and even reflective. He is charismatic when selling his idealism to others. His world is absolute: if others believe the vision, the vision must be right, and if the vision is right, others should believe it. Misguided Visionaries tend to work with audiences, or at least gangs of would-be disciples. A Misguided Visionary sacrifices his morals and integrity in the name of promoting his ideals, and will often slander or make derogatory comments about others. He may scapegoat others for his own shortcomings (or those that promote his ideal). He may openly contradict or even challenge a someone in authority. He may betray a friendship or a business relationship. He may shoot his toe off with a pistol, for example, in order to avoid being drafted by the Army

The greater the sense of drama in this, the more he is able to present himself as the champion of his ideal. He will often externalize this moral depravity as necessary to combat a greater evil, and he will find or create villains who he will contend challenge his or his audience’s values Styles:

Ideologue An Ideologue has become a villain because he has dedicated himself to an ideal that the audience feels is fundamentally wrong. Hey may believe, for example, that the purpose of existence, as was the case with Agent Smith in The Matrix: Revolutions, is to end life, or simply, "to end". Because he believes in an ideal and fails to evaluate its effects on others, the Ideologue poses a risk to a character the audience empathizes with.

The Ideologue is characterized by reverence. He submits his own ideal, but he may also show reverence for things indirectly related (or not related at all) to it. He may believe, for example, that unchecked militarism (living in a state of constant war) is an acceptable way of life and have a high degree of respect for families and communities, or for an honorable and courageous enemy. He may find value in any kind of competition, regardless of how dangerous it is.

Because of his reverence, the Ideologue is often uncompromising in his adherence to his ideal. He may suggest harsh or unnecessary punishment for transgressions against it. He may favor unnecessary methods to prevent transgression. He may frequently suspect others of transgression, based on unreliable or circumstantial evidence.

Megalomaniac A Megalomaniac thrives on the sense of purpose and meaning which is derived from his ideal. Either by believing in a particular ideal or by convincing others to believe in it, he is able to add to a sense of personal self-worth. Ultimately the two (believing and convincing others to believe) are often intertwined

Failure by others to embrace an ideal is a threat to both the ideal and the sense of fulfillment that it provides A Megalomaniac often characterizes his relationship with the world in dramatic terms, where the Universe (or at least, a significant portion of it) intends to prevent him from reaching goals related to his ideal. They also tend to overdramatize the terms of their ideologies. In order to make the ideal palatable to others (so that others will be more-likely to believe in the ideal), a Megalomaniac may vilify or scapegoat one person or a group of people, or he distort the consequences of his beliefs

Qualities:

• Disciplined • Ambitious; tends to be goal-driven

• Presents himself as dependable • Resourceful and tends to be inventive • Loyal, whether to a cause, an organization, or a person • Strong Sense of commitment and duty • Consistent; able to produce positive outcomes regularly • Gregarious or even charismatic, especially to sell his beliefs to others Flaws:

• Unquestioning of either his orders or his duty • Single-Minded, placing his mission above everything else • Not encouraging of close personal relationships • Prioritizes his idea above others Background: What caused him to dedicate himself, either to his cause, or to any particular cause? Maybe a Misguided Visionary was groomed to be loyal and disciplined Maybe he is part of a system or organization (much like the Insider) that requires him to antagonize others in order to survive within the system or organization. He may be a perfectionist, potentially for a specific reason, and believe that his vision should supersede any other need for viability in completing a task. Maybe, in a more immediate history, he has grown fond of something that whatever he has devoted himself to represents or supports

Maybe the sense of meaning he draws from his vision lend meaning and passion to an otherwise mundane and meaningless existence

Occupations: • Faith Healer • Cult Leader • Public Speaker • Political Talk Radio Host • Political Activist

Examples • Colonel Walter E. Kurtz in Apocalypse Now: In his first tour of Vietnam, he reportedly observed things that were classified Top Secret, accessible only to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and President Johnson. On his second tour of Vietnam with the Green Berets, Kurtz took a temple in Cambodia, where he established himself as a leader and began making strange radio transmissions. Previously on the fast track ascend to a high ranking position in the Pentagon, Kurtz has now become enough of a menace to the Army that Captain Willard is ordered to terminate Kurtz on sight, with extreme prejudice

• Agent Smith in The Matrix Trillogy • Lenny Meyer in Pi • Lloyd Henreid - Stephen King’s The Stand • General Burkhalter in Hogan’s Heroes • John Milton in The Devil's Advocate • Darth Vader in Star Wars IV: A New Hope and Return of the Jedi Darth Vader antagonizes characters in the Star Wars universe under the orders of his Emperor Palpatine. In conversations between himself and Palpatine, Vader often characterizes himself as a servant and Palpatine as his master. In Return of the Jedi, Vader even attempts to convert Luke Skywalker (his son) to the dark side under the orders of Palpatine (“He will join us or die, my master"). Only by heeding Luke’s pleas to help him does Vader redeem himself by disposing of Palpatine (by throwing him into a reactor shaft) Vader is instantly-recognizable by his suit, his helmet, and the exaggerated breathing noises that its voice amplifier make. These are all part of a life-support system for Anakin Skywalker (who is severely injured in Star Wars Revenge of the Sith) that is destroyed when fighting Palpatine at the end of Return of the Jedi • Derek Vinyard in American History X

Archetype Info Description: The Evil Queen antagonizes or opposes a character the audience empathizes with in the way she performs in a leadership role, leading a group of people. She typically does this by abusing a position of power or authority. She may present herself as an acceptable leader, but in one way or another, it is clear that her selfishness (either executing her personal responsibilities or handling personal priorities) does harm to subordinates who depend on sound, reasonable use of authority.

If the goal in any leadership position is to provide security and promote the greater good for the members of the group she leads, an Evil Queen fails to do so. Since an Evil Queens priority lies with personal interests, though, and not in balance between herself and her duties, an Evil Queen makes professional decisions that reflect only her personal priorities. Either she believes that the best way to rule her kingdom is to exert complete control over it at any cost, or she believes that she is the most important part of her kingdom, and seeks that validation from her subjects

She is self-interested and overbearing. She is demanding, unwilling to listen to or recognize the input of her subordinates, or simply self-absorbed She often focuses on specific facts, attitudes, or ideas and refuse to consider alternative viewpoints. She may seem distracted or focused on seemingly unreasonable priorities. She may demand that her subordinates attend to her every desire, whether expressed or not, and may demand unreasonable transparency from her subordinates. She may simply make up the rules as she goes along The Evil Queen is often refined, or at least believes she is refined She believes that her brand of refinement is the pinnacle of taste and sensibilities that anybody worth being on her team should play by her rules and should conform to her better judgement

Whatever her reasoning, her subordinates suffer, they are usually sore, weary, hungry, frightened, and usually grumble. Her subordinates may be her subjects, her advisors, her family, or anyone else who would otherwise benefit from steadfastness or justness that she refuses to seek in her role as leader Whoever this may be will despise her look forward to the day when she can be replaced

Styles:

Disciplinarian A Disciplinarian sacrifices the security of her charges (or promoting the greater good) in order to meet specific goals Because either of these things poses an obstacle, a Disciplinarian will remove the obstacle in order to fulfill her duties. She tends to be organized, vigilant, and utilitarian. She tends to see her actions as reactions to developments or perceived threats (which she will attempt to justify her actions in terms of, if confronted). Whenever another character can convince her to explain her actions or attitudes, she will often explain them in terms of this motivation.

She tends to put performance before either status or satisfaction. She is most satisfied when things perform well, and her sense of validation and belonging come from moments where things come together (in her opinion) as they should. The "better judgement" a Disciplinarian holds others to tends to be related to performance, as well. Habits, personality weaknesses, or even handicaps that make progress difficult are potential targets. She tends to scrutinize characters under her leadership, searching for any type of weakness that might betray her cause. She may address these perceived weaknesses tactfully, or she may confront them directly. Diva A Diva antagonizes characters she has authority over in order to achieve selfish personal goals. In order to promote her own personal goals; for example, becoming a Hollywood star or satisfying an enjoyment of power over others, a Diva will secure power, then antagonize her charges in order to reach her particular goal. She will often take little responsibility for the actions of and conseguences for the group, if any at all. She will often hold a level of contempt for her subordinates, claiming that She freguently does not engage with her would-be charges at all

She sets standards to others that either cannot be reached or that she cannot reach herself Where a Ruthless Administrator is more matter-of-fact and mechanical in her approach to leadership, a Diva tends to be more emotive and personal

Qualities:

• Often highly motivated • Freguently very decisive • Strong sense of resolve • Strong interpersonal/ relational skills • Strong sense of fairness Flaws:

• Authoritativeness • A tendency to be unyielding • A tendency to be judgmental • Interpersonal/ relational skills are often portrayed as unrefined • A tendency to be selfish - if safeguarding the throne is reguisite of holding it • Sometimes overwhelmed or burnt out under the weight of his responsibility Background:

Why does she indulge personal or political priorities at the expense of her subjects? Perhaps she is guarding against competition. Perhaps she was pampered as a child and not provided with tempering necessary to be able to balance well between her personal needs and the needs of the people who depend on her leadership. Perhaps the road to the top was treacherous and thankless enough that she appears to have lost all empathy.

Occupations:

• Opera Singer • Fashion Magazine Editor

Examples • Miranda Priestly - The Devil Wears Prada Miranda Priestly, the Editor-in-Chief of the fictitious fashion magazine Runway, comes across as a demanding, short-tempered, self-important slave-driver. When she arrives at her office, she drops her coat and bag on the desk of her least favorite assistant (with the understanding that they must be put away immediately). She almost never elaborates in the feedback she provides to subordinates, instead, she expects them to interpret enigmatic facial expressions (for example, at the presentation of the Holt collection, or looking Andreas clothing over disapprovingly) or to anticipate whether or not their attempts to meet her expectations have been a "disappointment." She expects that her assistants, including Andrea, be able to complete absurd tasks, including the procurement of an unpublished Harry Potter manuscript, while making sure throughout that the phones are answered promptly. Ultimately, her ruthlessness serves to establish and maintain order in the operation and within the ranks of the magazine. When Nigel and several other characters attempt to make a power play that would remove Priestly from her position, Priestly is able to convince publishing company chairman Irv Ravitz that her position and her connections to key figures in the fashion industry are indispensable Priestly antagonizes Andrea for the sense of comfort she draws from naAfA^ve idealism and inexperience; for example, in her speech about the turguoise sweater ". . you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back ". Whenever Andrea fails in a task that Miranda has delegated to her (for example, finding a flight during the hurricane), Priestly criticizes Andrea openly and directly, then dismisses Andrea with the expectation that Andrea will choose to perform better if she intends to continue to work at Runway. Priestly even refuses throughout much of the film to call Andrea by her real name, calling her by the name of the former assistant instead After Andrea has impressed Priestly enough to be called by her real name. Priestly intentionally mispronounces it.

• The Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs • Ursula in The Little Mermaid

• Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest • The Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz • Nurse Ratchet in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest • Miss Piggy in various incarnations of the Muppets Miss Piggy uses her proximity to Kermit the Frog to realize her dream of becoming either a major movie star or a Hollywood celebrity. Her decisions and actions are almost consistently self-important, and she establishes and maintains relationships with any of her fellow Muppets as relationships where she is clearly a superior and her counterparts are expected to be servile. She may attempt to influence Kermit's judgement, for example, by appealing to his sense of loneliness, depending on Kermit's mood - and. naturally, her own - she may attempt to threaten him instead In order to reduce Gonzo's confidence, she may attack his ego outright. To her credit, Miss Piggy also plays the part of heroine. In situations where other characters are tied up or otherwise unable to overcome either villains or other obstacles, she often springs to action when another character insults her Ego bruised, she lashes out and begins yelling at whatever she strikes, and once the dust settles the group she is a part of can continue on its way.

Archetype Info Description:

A Femme Fatale is a character who antagonizes or opposes a character the audience empathizes with in the way she appeals to and utilizes the selfish motivations of others. She exploits and controls other characters, in one way or another, by appealing to to the sensibilities of the other character offering or promising something that her victim desires. By doing so, she is able to control the characters in a way that she is able to use in order to lead them to disaster. In order to circumvent the better judgement of her victims, a Femme Fatale is able to identify and exploit value she presents in herself to her victims. She is often very-experienced in sizing her victims up and determining selfish motivations that she can exploit. To do this, she understands both what her victims desire and how she can provide (or appear to provide) it. Most-often, this insight into others requires some amount of personal introspection.

Since there is no formula to finding what somebody wants, a Femme Fatale often enjoys multi-disciplinary interests, participating in (and attaining efficacy in) a variety of activities. She may be hold a black belt in Karate, enjoy bird watching, read poetry, or play Golf. The more successful she is (or the more complicated her victims are), the more obscure her interests typically are Although she is not typically consumed in pursuing any of these activities, any more focused, deliberateness, and method she employs in appealing to others is typically reflected in the activities she enjoys. A Femme Fatale typically operates alone secluded from others. If she is required to operate closely with anybody else, she will often insulate herself from any sort of personal connection with her counterparts. In doing so, she is able to keep her emotions organized-she won’t need to evaluate whether she cares too much about her quarry to execute in taking advantage of them. She may keep a pet or a companion, but is clear in either type of relationship that she is the dominant figure, frequently demanding that she either dominates her counterpart or that her counterpart remain oblivious to her real feelings.

Styles:

Tease The Tease antagonizes a victim by presenting the promise (or the potential) of fulfilling their desires either without following through on fulfillment or by leading their character down adestructive path. Incontrast with theBlack Widow,(who actively beckons her preyto disaster), the Flirt might lead her victim to disaster either without intending to harm them or as a result of some other psychological process. Her victim may be led to disaster by the promise of fulfillment, or

Black Widow The Black Widow is a Femme Fatale who lures her victims to disaster by presenting them with something they desire. Whether or not this is played-out (whether she ultimatelypresentsher victim with Black Widow is aware of what she is doing--she is often presented as very disciplined and very composed in her behavior.

she leads thecharacter somehow into

a trap or some otherform ofdanger. The

Qualities:

• Strong knowledge of self • Strong interpersonal skills. • Able to read others and determine their motivations.

• Strong analytical skills. Flaws:

• Tendency to favor intuition to rigor. • Reckless. Is often willing to put herself in danger • Finds it difficult to empathizing with or genuinely relating to others. • Tends to have a very-mechanical world outlook. • Tends to be skeptical of others Background:

How does luring her victims into harm’s way empower her, and why is the specific form of allure she employs significant to her? Perhaps she was physically abused earlier in life and luring men into danger places her in a position of power and allows her to enact revenge by turning the tables Perhaps Perhaps it simply makes her feel empowered in a life that typically leaves her feeling disempowered. Perhaps she would like to cook children and eat them for dinner Occupations:

Examples • Lola Lola - The Blue Angel. Lola Lola uses Professor Rath's sense of alienation (demonstrated when his students scrawled the name Professor Unrat-which translates to "Professor Garbage"- on the chalkboard). She provides him with a sense of belonging (even marrying him), but only if he is willing to cooperate with her unconditionally. Once his savings have been spent to support them she employes him as a clown in her show. When they return to Rath's hometown and Rath witnesses Lola kissing another man. Rath is reduced a rage only expressible by the noises he makes in the famous rooster-crowing scene • Lily/ Rose de Seitas John Fowles’ The Magus • Six - Battlestar Galactica • Scarlett O’Hara - Gone with the Wind • Cleopatra - William Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra It seems clear that Cleopatra cares for Marc Antony very much and wishes the best for him. Her fickleness (demonstrated by fleeing Octavians fleets during sea battles) and tendency to overdramatize her current situation, coupled with her drive to engage Antony within their relationship causes Antony to lose sight of his primary objective as a general (to assist Octavian in maintaining peace in the Mediterranean) to fail to fulfill the wishes of Octavian, abdicate his position, and ultimately wage war against his former commander.

After Antony has had enough of Cleopatra's fickleness and has resolved to kill her, Cleopatra has a message sent to Antony that she has killed herself. Antony, believing the message, mortally wounds himself. Once he determines that she is still alive, he returns to her, at which point he dies • Kathryn Merteuil - Cruel Intentions • Salome - The Bible • The Witch - Hansel and Grettel

Archetype Info Description: A Rotten Friend succeeds by cooperating or interoperating with another character with the hopes of producing a positive outcome. Instead of maintaining hopes and providing encouragement for a positive outcome and instead of seeking an outcome that benefits both characters, a Rotten Friend will utilize her counterparts hopes for a positive outcome to ensure that her reward for her actions is the greatest possible, regardless of the expense

By utilizing her counterparts patience and willingness to cooperate in a way that the audience will respond to as unfair, a Rotten Friend antagonizes her counterpart The Rotten Friend might betray her counterpart by taking something away from her counterpart, by putting her counterpart in harms way, or even by failing to warn her counterpart of danger. She might keep a counterpart around by convincing the counterpart that he or she is useful but tell unflattering stories (true or untrue) about her counterpart She might also manipulate her counterpart into sharing her vision of a positive outcome, by telling stories that portray her as a victim or an enduring hero. She may challenge others to confront her A Rotten Friend is frequently a liar and a profiteer, who uses relationships as production material to reach her own goals by manipulating and betraying the best intentions of her counterpart Depending on whether it is profitable, she may make a show of her accomplishments in order to encourage the confidence of others Often, she tends to be a snob, or she possess some sort of refined taste. This enables her to see the bigger picture' that her counterparts do not. She also tends to harbor some amount of contempt for her victims: she will often characterize the counterparts she betrays as victims of their own selfishness, arrogance, or general stupidity.

She may attempt to encourage others person-to-person by providing encouragement or otherwise presenting herself as an authority. Frequently, a Rotten Friend is an excellent strategist, even if she is a Drama Queen. She knows what she wants, what she is trying to get, and how to get it. She also tends to be competitive. She might excel at Chess. She might be a talented young doctor. She might be an accomplished athlete Like any production strategist, a Rotten Friend also needs to deal with waste output: where she betrays a counterpart or ruins a relationship, she also needs to be able to remove herself from the relationship and any bad feelings that potentially challenge her entitlement to a positive outcome. Her reputation might follow her; she may also attempt to manipulate or bully her peers into either ignoring her actions or attitudes or turning a blind eye to her next betrayal. She may choose to end the relationship altogether, driving her she may also choose to make smaller, marginally acceptable betrayals that, although objectionable, are by no means deal breakers. Often, in order to sell her refined tastes as nonthreatening, she will present herself to victims either as a powerful potential ally (somebody, for example, with access) or as a weakling that the victim can care for in some way. A Rotten Friend will continue to develop this relationship until she can begin to characterize her betrayals under the terms of the relationship.

Styles:

Backstabber The Backstabber intentionally does harm to her friend She may have planned to do this, or she may have found a more profitable friendship, a job, or a romantic relationship, which, for some reason or another, she can only begin by sabotaging her relationship with her current friend The Backstabber may also have planned an exit before even beginning the friendship; she may have known from the outset why she originally wanted the relationship she now plans to sabotage and what it was worth for her to both to carry on in the relationship and to betray her friend

Manipulator

The Drama Queen does not necessarily have an end game, often, she just wants to be taken seriously. She manipulates others either because the manipulation results in a sense of personal fulfillment. This could be because, by complaining, she is able to encourage activity that resolves her issues, because the attention it creates fulfills a need for attention, or simply because engaging with negative occurrences in her life provides a positive sense of engagement (for example, determining all of the reasons why something is unpleasant might be interesting) either emotionally or intellectually. Qualities:

• Understanding of her victims • Strong critical thinking skills • Strong sense of strategy • Confident Flaws:

• Often a lack of empathy for victims • Strong rationalization skills • Skilled as persuading others • Contempt for her victims. She may believe, or contest, that others she harms are victims of their own stupidity Background: What happened to cause her to manipulte and use others who she first charms as friends? Perhaps she is just an excellent strategist and has not been humbled to a point where she believes friendships are important. Perhaps she lives a privileged life, where anything she has she’s been able to get herself, or with minimal effort on her part, with the help of somebody else. Perhaps she also has some reason not to trust friendships, perhaps she capitalizes on relationships in order to keep them from becoming engaging or otherwise dangerous

Maybe she has simply never been challenged by a victim or another character

Archetype Info Description:

A Lost Cause antagonizes others in the way she shares unhappiness and disappointment with others. Typically bitter, angry, and unyielding toward others, she chooses to antagonize others with her feelings rather than deal with them in some way. Frequently having given up hope for success or a positive outcome, a Lost Cause either allows for evil to befall another character or sets the stage for evil to happen, or takes action personally to justify her hopelessness. A Lost Cause has determined that no positive or constructive outcome can result from her feelings of disappointment and dissatisfaction. Because of this conclusion, she rationalizes that antagonizing other characters is an acceptable and justifiable way to share her feelings with others. She may make plans to ruin the lives of others. She may develop close relationships and abandon them. She may spread unbecoming or even untrue stories about other characters. She may identify an unbecoming quality or behavior in others and associates it with the cause of her unhappiness and accuse others of possessing that quality or exhibiting that behavior. She may talk down to others frequently. She may antagonize others by simply refusing to be happy around anybody.

Frequently, her actions target somebody or something she has identified as responsible for her disappointment: this may be another character, a group of characters, an institution, a representative of any of these things (Miss Havisham, for example, antagonized Pip throughout Great Expectations to seek revenge on men generally), or even herself. The goal in antagonizing others is frequently either to seek revenge for the source of a Lost Cause's displeasure or to simply to act on her feelings In order to protect both the level at which she rationalizes her feelings and her true feelings regarding the cause of her displeasure, Lost Cause tends to have a layered personality. On the surface, she tends to presents herself as knowledgable, especially in subjects related to the source of her displeasure, as well as very rational, sensible, and composed. At the surface, she is also frequently formidable, either in some ability, her knowledge, or her unflappability Beneath this tends to lie a series of deeper layers where she is increasingly vulnerable, at the center, if all of the other layers have been removed, she is the most emotional, and most vulnerable

A Lost Cause does not tend to keep many close friends. This is similar to the Femme Fatale if a Lost Cause keeps a companion nearby, the companion will often play a submissive, if even involved role. Because of the amount that a Lost Cause rationalizes her current situation, any type of close, emotional, or trusting relationship threaten sort of order she has constructed to both hold onto her pain and rationalize the way she has reacted to it.

Styles:

Castaway A Castaway has been patient with the people around her but, as a result of a significant failure, has lost faith in the possibility of a positive outcome. She may have been failed by somebody she trusted or have failed herself at some point. Typically bitter about her previous experiences, her personality is often pensive or generally introverted, as an indication of reflection on either her life choices or of the choices of others that affected her. If she holds a position of authority, she may use her authority to disallow other characters from actions that might result in fulfillment or, in general, a feeling of success for either the character or audience, or both.

Runaway A Runaway was quick to give up hope to begin with, without any sort of patience or persistence in seeking a positive outcome. Typically, a Runaway determines something she does not like and avoids it before it can affect her in a way that is significant. Frequently, she avoids any sort of significant emotional engagement

Her reactions to events that affect her are often more outwardly emotional and not as thoroughly thought out. She may lack internal processes to see her place within groups she belongs to. Because of this, she is usually prone to act decisively in reaction to what she believes is injustice. She may sabotage other characters, processes, or structures of power (for example, she may rob a bank or participate in sabotaging law enforcement vehicles), rationalizing that, because she believes the world is a terrible place, her only means of securing her own happiness is retaliating against it. She may stay out late, listen to raunchy music, and rationalize that anything of emotional significance is "bad "A Qualities:

• Strong, believes that she is presently enduring (or has endured) injustice • Diligent • Strong critical thinking skills • Protective • Strong sense of resolve • Presents herself as upright and pure Flaws:

• Often lacks hope (or even desire) for anything positive to happen • Tends to be emotionally volatile • Often contemptuous of others • Tendency to rationalize, often, the same rationalizations that make it possible for her to endure injustice distort the way she perceives the world around her. • Judgmental

• Frequently snobbish or elitist, believing that her rationalizations are valuable insights Background:

Why was disappointment enough to cause her to lose faith in a positive outcome and what does she plan to gain by acting out? Perhaps she was betrayed by somebody she trusted without reservation. Perhaps she blames her current situation on herself on some level, or perhaps she blames it on somebody else so that she does not have to take responsibility herself Maybe she blames it on a political entity or other public figure, or maybe she has lost enough in her life that she doesn’t believe there’s a chance for her to win.

Occupations:

Examples • Miss Havisham, Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. Miss Havisham seeks to enact revenge on men in-general, as retribution for having been swindled earlier in life by Compeyson. She coaches Estella to handle men cruelly and without remorse. Throughout the novel, Miss Havisham tantalizes Pip with the possibility Estella (whom Pip has fallen in-love with) could love Pip. Ultimately, Miss Havisham’s actions result in Pip’s disenchantment with Estella and Estella’s marriage to Bentley Drummle, who treats her cruelly and apparently without remorse. • Danielle Rousseau in LOST • Kriemhilde in Kriemhilde’s Revenge • Medea in Greek Mythology, Euripides’ Medea • Sable Colby in Dynasty II: The Colbys • Ruth in Never Let Me Go • Jenny Curran in Forest Gump: Jenny makes a series of decisions throughout the film as an adult that appear to react to the abusive childhood she is portrayed as having survived Through a series of disjoined film sequences interspersed throughout Gump’s narrative, Jenny is characterized as being rebellious, idealistic, self-destructive, and wrathful. She joins a number of radical and counterculture groups, participates in drug culture, and relates to men promiscuously. As a teenager in Greenbow, she dates rebellious young men. In a film where other characters such as Lieutenant Dan Taylor appear to punish themselves through self-destruction, Jenny’s behavior, which results in her contracting of a disease that takes her life, while on one hand is portrayed as arguably self-liberating and self-empowering, and is simultaneously self-antagonizing. Through this, it can be argued that Jenny becomes a villain to herself. When Gump and Jenny eventually return to Jenny’s childhood home. Jenny begins to throw rocks from the yard through the remaining unbroken windows. The scene plays out as a climax in Jenny’s inner drama with themes (rebelliousness, anger, self-destruction) and in a personal drama played outward, where her nihilism and unwillingness to relate closely to others have ultimately led her home to the only person (Gump) she has been willing to make any sort of meaningful connection with. At the same time that Jenny has enjoyed a close relationship with Gump (the two cross paths and display affection for each other at various points throughout the film), she clearly seeks to distance herself from Gump as well.

Archetype Info Description:

She distances herself from a group that she otherwise would be a part of. By conforming to the demands of either a group or a particular ideal, she is able to create a sense of belonging and acceptance. By securing this sense of belonging, she validates herself personally: by doing so, or in the course of doing so, though, she causes hardship to others A Conformist tends to operate in two modes: she seeks to portray her own excellence, at the same time seeks to discredit current or potential rivals to her sense of entitlement by proving to others or herself that she has successfully conformed to the ideal or social group she has identified as valuable A Conformist can usually find and exploit failures by others to conform to the same or similar things. In order to minimize the influence of potential contenders, a Conformist is watchful of potential rivaland whetheror not they cannot dismiss her rival immediately as incompetent, she will search for a flaw and determine a way to exploit it publicly.

are able toconform withthe same amount

of fidelity. If aConformist

A Conformist often shows some amount of contempt for people she encounters; in her eyes, nobody is worth respect unless they are valuable to the sense of validation she draws from conformity.

A Conformist believes she knows everything, or at least enough. Thus, knowledge, or even the control of information is vital to a Conformist. Since the person who knows the most can make the bestdecisions,knowing themost, oreven controlling who they know, can potentially make the difference between a perfect fit and a visibly imperfect one

knows thingsor feels confident about what

Styles:

Perfectionist A Perfectionist antagonizes another character with actions or attitudes that meet or reach for an abstract ideal. By attaining a level of performance that reaches or meets perfection, or by maintaining the supremacy of an ideal, she is able to separate herself from her contemporaries as the champion of that ideal. She antagonizes others by making or supporting the claim that she represents the ideal better than they do and that this provides her with a comparatively greater personal worth. A Perfectionist is often highly self-aware and disciplined She knows how to satisfactorily complete tasks necessary to ensure her supremacy in championing her ideal. She is also able to find the resources - personal or otherwise -tosee toit that may use other characters to this end. She is also very discerning: she can tell whether or not she is successful in championing a specific ideal, and she can acutely determine whether her contemporaries are able to, as well.

she issuccessful inchampioning her ideal. She

A Perfectionist may or may not be as socially aware as the Socialite, depending on the nature of her ideal. She is frequently able to identify potential opponents to her supremacy in championing her ideal and to challenge them successfully, in order tosecure ormaintain this sense of supremacy.

Socialite A Socialite antagonizes another character by conforming to the demands of a group or by establishing or maintaining a social persona or role, often by establishing a position in an exclusive group. In order to maintain or establish this role, a Socialite will antagonize others in order to assert their superiority. For example, in Carrie, Chris Hargenson antagonizes Carrie in order to maintain a sense of social dominance in the position of popular girl. A socialite tends to be keenly socially aware. She understands, perhaps even at an unconscious level, her relationships to other characters, the value each of those relationships has to her reputation, and how to address threats in a way that will not tarnish her public image Because of how fastidious she is in maintaining her reputation, she is often able to use her status as leverage to motivate others Qualities:

• Driven/ Highly Motivated • Deliberate and often well though-out in her actions • Very Careful Tends not to make mistakes • Excellent Sense of Strategy Flaws:

• Contemptuous of others • A tendency to be myopic in the way she evaluates situations and other people • A tendency to be unfeeling

• Uncompromising Background: What type of conformity does she choose and what is the significance of the security it provides? What made her this way? She might have been ignored (or antagonized) by parent figures, or simply pushed to succeed. Perhaps she is presently compensating for a time in her life where she was not allowed a secure position in the group, or where she was either powerless or antagonized by a member of the group for something that was beyond her control. She might have been exposed to examples of finer taste, which she believes she is entitled to.

Perhaps she believes she’s meant for something better in life than what she has, and what she’s meant for is more important than the well-being of characters her actions affect

Occupations:

Examples • Chris Hargenson in Carrie: Chris, a popular girl at Bates High School, is among the girls who antagonizes Carrie White for the incident in the locker room. When Chris is punished by the teacher, she becomes indignant, even after Sue Snell, who was the first in the group to antagonize Carrie in the locker room and showed remorse to the point of convincing her boyfriend to ask Carrie to the school prom. Chris is forbidden from attending prom. To exact revenge and to assert her position as a popular girl, Chris convinces her boyfriend Billy Nolan to participate in an elaborate stunt involving planting a bucket of pig’s blood in the gymnasium above the stage, and rigging the election of prom king and queen so that Carrie is crowned queen

After the stunt at the prom coronation, Chris and Billy also attempt to run Carrie over with Billy's car. Things don’t work out well for them. • Quinn Morgendorffer in Daria • Sue Snell in Carrie • Nora Wells in Death to Smoochy • Nicki Parsons in The Bourne Identity and in The Bourne Supremacy • Beth Jarrett in Ordinary People

• O-Ren Ishii in Kill Bill: Volume 1: Refined, disciplined, calculated, and ruthless, one of Bill's assassins O-Ren Ishii is an expert a sniper and sword-fighter. Ishii became an assassin after her parents were killed in front of her by the Yakuza. After avenging the deaths of her parents, she joins Bill's Deadly Vipers Assassination Squad, after the confrontation with the Bride at the wedding rehearsal. Ishii leaves DVAS and joins the Yakuza, eventually advancing to the position of lead boss. A point of significance and contention in Volume 1 is Ishii’s heritage an American of Japanese and Chinese ancestry, her participation in the Yakuza is a point of contention with a fellow Yakuza boss After dispatching a Yakuza leader who challenged thisopenly,Ishiichallenges any dissenting leaders to argue against her worthiness as leader By doing so, she demonstrates to potential rivals - as well as the audience - that she is qualified to be a leader and as a Yakuza because of her skills and reputation as an assassin.

At the end of Kill Bill, Volume 1, during the confrontation with The Bride, Ishii criticizes The Bride’s unworthiness to face her both in terms of her ethnic heritage and her dexterity with a sword: "Silly Caucasian girl likes to play with samurai swords. You might not beable to but you can at least die like a samurai " At this point, although Ishii has technically beaten The Bride, she allows the Bride to get up and continue to fight. At a point later in the fight, after The Bride has wounded Ishii, Ishii apologizes for her earlier remarks.

Archetype Info Description: A Know-it-AII antagonizes or opposes a character the audience empathizes with in the way she demonstrates the value of her knowledge, experience, or understanding to the group Because of the way she uses her expertise only serves an agenda that suits her own purposes, her efforts result in some sort of misfortune or suffering for figures who do not share her vision. A Know-it-AII has an uncanny amount of information or understanding in at least one area of specialty. She has either studied or taken the time to understand her area of expertise in a way that few are able to. She is often regarded - or potentially even revered - as an authority in various areas Where her heroic counterpart (the Valedictorian) is able to share this knowledge with others, though, in a way that is useful, a Know-it-AII does not. She has a wealth of knowledge, but somehow she is able to use it to turn a profit, or even donate it to charity. Where princes are turned into frogs, living scarecrows are afire, and needles are cursed to put princesses to sleep, more often than not, a Know-it-AII is the one casting the curse.

To accompany selfishness, a Know-it-AII is also frequently either temperamental or prone to strong emotion. She frequently does not have a firm handle on her emotions (for example, in various in retellings of Sleeping Beauty the wicked fairy cursing Aurora as punishment for not being invited to the princess’ christening) and tends to react rashly. Her resolve to withstand disappointment is perhaps the worst. She has little patience for others, especially figures who are not in-the-know.

She does not accept competitors for or pretenders to her supremacy. In The Wizard of Oz, it seems clear that the Wicked Witch of the West fears Dorothy (and anybody with a house) as much as she despises her. Because of her temperament and selfishness, a Know-it-AII seeks other methods of validation within her realm of expertise. This often leads her to take elaborate measures and develop grand schemes to achieve seemingly simple goals subversively. In the fairytale Snow White, the Queen wants to be "the fairest one of all”A; in order to accomplish this, she consults with a magic mirror, follows Snow White to the hut where she lives with the dwarves, and provides Snow White with a magic apple that puts the titular heroine into a deep sleep

Styles:

Answer to Everything An Answer to Everything antagonizes other characters specifically with the knowledge she possesses and the value of that knowledge She may possess a great deal of information, or she may possess information that is simply scarce; either way, the information she possesses provides her with value and access not commonly available to others.

The understandings an Answer to Everything possesses are valuable, but because they are not available to everybody, they are scarce. Because an Answer to Everything knows something that is not commonly available, she possesses knowledge and experience that potentially makes her more valuable to the group than individuals who do not possess it.

Also, knowledge and experience can provide access to resources and information that is not available to everybody Maybe an Answer to Everything has a security clearance Maybe she has gained access to computer systems not available to the general public. Maybe she knowsof a shortcut to get from Point A to Point B. Maybe she knows how to repair a car. If she uses this knowledge - or the access or privileges that the knowledge provides her - to antagonize others, she is likely an Answer to Everything.

Sorceress A Sorceress antagonizes others by applying the knowledge she has, in order to produce some sort of effect The knowledge a Sorceress has is powerful in and of itself, and she is able to tap into this power to produce results that affect other characters or other elements of astory that the audience empathizes with, directly. Maybe she turns a prince into a frog Maybe she places a curse on a young princess. Maybe she can create illusions. Maybe she can brew potions and poisons that can cause her victims to age abnormally or fall in love against their will.

She doesn’t need to be a witch, though: she could be a computer scientist. She could be a journalist or an artist. She could be a secretary or an accountant (anybody who handles paperwork) in a large office. She could be a teacher with methods or grading criteria that are difficult to understand Because the knowledge a Sorceress wields is readily apparent, a Sorceress does always need to worry about whether or not it is valuable enough to the group to grant her power Generally, a Sorceress can either render what she needs for herself, or she can threaten another character to provide it to her. In this, she is different from an Answer to Everything' an Answer to Everything is powerful because the influence provided by what she knows, because of what a Sorceress knows, her power becomes her influence. Other characters tend to be frightened of a Sorceress, both of her terrible power and of any influence she already wields with it Qualities:

• Very attentive to detail Tends to be valuable because she sees things other characters do not • Very focused

• Excellent memory and recall skills • Resourceful • Quick thinker • A good strategist Flaws:

• Uncertain, unaware, or even uninterested in how others receive her • Particularly selfish • Tends to be impractical • Has difficulty relating to others • Typically has a very mechanical view of people around her • Fails to apprehend insights that are evident to others, whether it be other characters or the audience • Temperamental, tends to react poorly to disappointment or adversity Background:

What is the her expertise and why is she selfish? Perhaps she had a friend, family member, or a romantic interest who was powerful specifically because of their expertise Maybe in the absence of that relationship she feels the need to restore that sense of power with a sense of expertise Maybe she was betrayed by somebody with a great deal of expertise Maybe this caught her off-guard Maybe she was not provided with some gratitude she feels she deserves, possibly as a result of her expertise, and she feels the need to exact revenge. She may be convinced or feels she has proven that her way of thinking or doing something is the right way, and that anybody with a different solution challenges what she feels is a right she earned to be revered for discipline and hard work. Occupations:

Examples • Marie Barone in Everybody Loves Raymond: Marie Barone, Mother to the titular character, lives across the street from Raymond and his wife Debra, and frequently stops by with her husband Frank. Frank, Ray, and Ray’s brother appears to have related to her family (as a Caregiver, being the only woman, and since she appears to have been character in the group who is relatively grounded) over the years.

Robert typically get along fairly well as father and sons; Marie

Marie is clearly affectionate of Frank, her sons, and her grandchildren, but openly criticizes Debra’s approach to her family with Ray. Marie tends to make one of five claims in criticism Debra: Marie contends that she knows more about parenting than Debra either because she has been successful as a mother, because she has been successful as a wife, because she has known the three Barone men (Ray, Robert, and Frank) for much longer than Debra has, because Marie’s reliance on traditional values (where Debra and Ray approach parenting more nontraditionally),or because Marie is simply older and has had more experience than Debra The premises tend to change with the episode, but the conclusion appears to be the same Marie challenges Debra’s experience and understanding of her own children in order to demonstrate that she possesses a greater degree of expertise as a parent

• Gozer in Ghostbusters • The wicked fairy in the fairy tale of Cinderella (rendered as Maleficent in the 1959 Disney film) • Dr. Lisa Cuddy in House, M.D. • Clytemnestra in Homer’s The Odyssey

• Pearl Slaghoople (Wilma’s mother) in The Flintstones • The Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz: The Witch of the West’s primary motivation for antagonizing Dorothy Gale are the Ruby Slippers, which Glenda (the Good Witch of the North) gave to her after their former owner, the Wicked Witch of the East, died upon the arrival of Dorothy and Toto in Oz. After Glenda makes it clear that Dorothy shouldn't let the Witch of the West get ahold of the slippers, the Witch of the West makes it clear that she will attempt to intimidate Dorothy (and her little dog, too) into relinquishing them. Until the film's turning point, the Wicked Witch of the West unleashes a veritable arsenal of magical obstacles on the travelers, eventually sending winged monkeys to capture Dorothy and return her to the Witch of the West’s castle The value of the Ruby Slippers,which Glenda, while in Munchkinland, suggests must be because they are powerful, is clearly identifiable by the Witch of the West. Her motivation is unwavering throughout the film. In the scene where she sends thewinged monkeys, sheinstructs themto do what what they like with Dorothy’s companions, but that the slippers were what she wanted "most of all," and that because of this they should return Dorothy to her alive The Wicked Witch of the West is thoughtful, rational and evaluative. Although generally antagonistic - and. as her name might suggest, evil and mean -- and although her means to accomplish this are supernatural, her actions toward specific goal. Her first attempt to get the slippers from Dorothy appeal to Dorothy’s inclination to do the right thing: "Give me back my slippers. I’m the only one who knows how to use them; they’re of no use to you."

Archetype Info Description: The Tormentor antagonizes or opposes a character the audience believes in by addressing concerns and completing the task at hand in the most direct manner possible, indiscriminately inflicting pain on or causing anguish to her victim. Because of her recklessness and uncaring attitude, the Tormentor may get the job done, but only at the expense of the victim whose feelings she either fails or willfully ignores.

Like her heroic counterpart the Fighter, the actions of the Tormentor are often shaped by the need to attend to some unfinished business. In order to complete the business, she addresses obstacles and adversaries head on, confronting them willfully, or by defending against an identified threat. The Tormentor's moral compass is lost somewhere in the aggressiveness needed to overcome these obstacles or adversaries The Tormentor may be so intent on finishing the job that she doesn’t care if she is causing harm, willfully or otherwise. She may throw a victim off balance, immobilize, or otherwise disarm a threat. She is not afraid to take revenge on her adversaries, whether to inspire fear or disable her opponent. The Tormentor is often busy, hurried, or otherwise preoccupied with the task at hand She may be inclined or willing to cut a few corners or break a couple hearts in order to avoid losing thisbattle, or even the war. She may redirect retribution meant to her to somebody else in order to operate without hinderance. She may believe that there is a threat -- either real or imagined -- that needs to be addressed if failure is not an option. Styles:

Taskmaster A Taskmaster antagonizes or opposes others through what appears to be an inability or unwillingness to weigh the need to get something done (or done correctly) against the needs of any individuals getting the job done. By doing this, she is either able to wear down the resolve of her victims, confuse them (for example, by providing conflicting instructions), or simply make a case to others that her victims lack the resolve or focus to do things correctly. A Taskmaster may set unreasonable goals and demand her victims to perform to them. She may develop or express unreasonable objections to their behaviors.

Typically a Taskmaster shows little, if any. emotional investment in her victims and tends to rationalize her actions with some sort of intellectual, ideological, or mechanical reasoning Fury A Fury derives pleasure by antagonizing another character directly. She picks specific ways to torment her victim, and by following through on her victimization, appears to enjoy the fact that she has inflicted pain. She may derive pleasure from the knowledge that her adversary is in pain through being constricted or through other means, and that pain places her in a position of power. She may inflict physical pain, put her victim in harm’s way, or decide not to warn her victim of a specific danger A Fury typically rationalizes her actions emotively, usually claiming that victimizing another person actively satisfies or addresses something that troubles her emotionally.

Often, a Fury also tends to enjoy some sort of relationship with her victim. By knowing her victim, she understands what exactly she is doing to harm her victim and how the pain relates to her. She may also relate to her victim on a more basic level. For example, maybe the only thing she and her victim have in common is that they are - or appear to be - both human beings, maybe the pleasure she derives from harming somebody else relates to a contempt for something basically human Maybe all she has in common with her victim is that they are both alive. She may even antagonize something dead or inanimate, claiming some sort of ideological kinship that binds them. Qualities:

• Diligent • Motivated • Driven to succeed • Unyielding; unwilling to give up

• Tough, often both physically and emotionally • Difficult to confine or otherwise to deny in completing the job at hand Flaws:

• Single-minded or stubborn • Believes the ends justify the means • Cold, systematic and unfeeling • Unable to see the bigger picture • Morally flexible Background:

Why has the need for excellence and performance supplanted the need for compassion and dignity? Perhaps she has a career that, although it empowers her, has either sapped her resolve to hope and work for the best Maybe she was confronted by some sort of injustice in her past that has left her pessimistic about whether others are capable of compassion. Maybe her attitudes and insulated against this; maybe she is really a compassionate and just person underneath Maybe she competes as an athlete, and the muscle that cares has atrophied while the muscles that tense and flex have developed Perhaps the best defense is a good offense and there is a valid threat that she is trying to address

Examples • Margaret Tate in The Proposal: In order to avoid deportation from the Untied states after her visa has expired. Margaret Tate, a Canadian citizen and successful editor-in-chief for a publishing company, proposes that her assistant Andrew Paxton, marry her. The film follows the events leading up to and following their staged wedding ceremony. Throughout the film, Tate is characterized as an abrasive and unforgiving boss, demanding that Paxton make every concession necessary to ensure her comfort while putting his civil liberties and personal relationships on the line to ensure her comfort both as a resident of the US and a visitor in the world of his personal life In order to make the wedding official and convincing for the authorities, Tate and Paxton travel to Paxton’s hometown of Sitka, Alaska, a small, close-knit island community to convince his family and childhood friends that he and Tate intend to spend the rest of their lives together. In public, the two are bubbly and well-mannered; in private. Tate makes her demands in no uncertain terms and challenges Paxton whenever common sense gets the better of him. Ultimately, three dramatic questions that challenge Tate's most-recognizable personality traits:

.Whether the two will put professional priorities on-hold long enough to explore what are presented to the audience as potentially romantic feelings .Whether Tate will stop relying on abrasiveness and relate to Paxton (and his family) on a personal level. .Whether Paxton will show enough resolve to stand up to Tates abrasiveness.

Tates personal development throughout the film provides answers to these questions.

• Baby in The Devils Rejects • Harley Quinn in The Batman comic book series • Hedy in Single White Female

• Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction • Evelyn Salt in Salt • Harpies in Greek Mythology: In Greek mythology and cited by later sources, Harpies were creatures with the heads of women and the bodies of birds. Poets of later antiquity characterized them as cruel and ruthless antagonists, who wrought agony and sorrow on their victims, particularly by physically dominating them. The Harpies lived on an island with Phineas, who had been blinded and placed on the island by Zeus for revealing prophecies. Phineas’ punishment was to live on the island, where food would be laid out on a table (in the open) regularly. Phineas would know that the food was made available, before he could reach it, though, the Harpies would steal it for themselves

In The Inferno, Harpies live in the seventh circle of Hell, feeding on the bodies of souls of individuals who have died by suicide.

Archetype Info Description:

A Distracted Mother antagonizes others in the way she addresses the well-being of characters she should feel responsibility for. She fails to provide encouragement or protection to a character the audience would normally conclude should benefit from her care because she allowsherself toentertain priorities other than those of her charge She may either refuse to recognize the needs of her charge or place undue emphasis on the role that she plays in providing for her charge By responding to priorities other than those of her charge, she puts her charge in harms way.

Because her victim depends on her to provide the best care possible, a Distracted Mother would otherwise be expected to be watchful, diligent, and receptive. Typically, the victim of a Distracted Mother might benefit from a character whose watchfulness andunderstandingwouldeither encourage growth or protect from danger. The victim might be wounded, prone to danger and unable to defend itself or simply so young or limited in its capacity to provide for itself that it needs somebody to provide for it. The Distracted Mother is a character whom it would normally fall on to provide care for these characters, but who chooses not to provide it. She may refuse to provide care, for example, citing that the charge should notbe herresponsibility. She may bea mother who leaves a very young child unattended to in order to attend - or even host -- a party. She may be a healthcare professional who is unable to provide her full attention to her patients because she is distracted by personal problems.

She might also be distracted by the role she plays and provides attention that is not beneficial to her charge She may be a character who is convinced that she should be control attempts to maneuver herself into a position where her care is needed or not. She may be unwilling to allowa child grow up. She may run a doggy daycare facility and mistreat animals placed under her care by customers, in order to administrate what she contends is discipline

to

There is often potential for a rich and endearing relationship with her victim, but because she is either unwilling to explore it or simply unavailable, her victim languishes Above all, a Distracted allows selfishness to supplant answerability to her charge. Her needs, her agenda, and her goals dominate both her life and the lives of her victims. She may be vain, controlling, ambitious, preoccupied, disinterested, or simply greedy. She may be an addict, either to drugs or something else. She might not even be a mother or in a position of care; she may foist her care (or what she believes is care) on other characters, attempting to convince her would-be charges that it is necessary. She may claim that her victim is simply not her responsibility, although it is obvious to the audience that it is incorrect.

Styles:

Red Hen A Red Hen is distracted from caring for her victims by the role she plays in providing care. She is clearly more interested in promoting or satisfying the role she plays to provide security and encouragement to her charges than she is in actually providing any amount of care. She may control her victims arbitrarily. She may address dissent and misbehavior as a threat instead of attempting to find a way to make it useful to the troublemaker and to the group. She may intimidate her charges or attempt to establish a relationship where intimidation is what she is known for first. Because she places as much emphasis as she does on control, she is either unable or unwilling to understand the needs of her charges, as a result, they either languish (failing to develop for lack of encouragement) or begin to resent the Red Hen.

The Red Hen is often domineering, manipulative, and demanding. She possesses the ability to determine a need, desire, or other motivation of her victim that makes a Caregiver role seem inviting; in execution, though, she frequently provides just enough care to convince others (her victim or another character) that her care is sufficient, so that she can continue to pursue other interests. Wicked Stepmother A Bearer of Better Plans refuses or fails to provide a charge with care. Either she refuses to recognize that a character needs her encouragement or protection, or she rationalized that it would be appropriate to entertain other priorities in a way that (knowingly) either places her charge in harms way or fails to encourage development in her charge She may be attending to something that only benefits her (the Bearer of Better Plans), or she may be working on something that benefits the group, as well as herself. She may even give a child away (or relinquish answerability for her charge) in a responsible manner. She may be a stepmother (referencing the wicked stepmother stock character) who refuses to acknowledge that she might be as answerable for her stepdaughter (or stepson) as she is for her own children. She may lose track of plants in her garden and allow them to go unwatered Qualities:

• Fails to empathize (or recognize feelings) for her charges • Frequently arrogant or self-aggrandizing • Puts her needs above those who are dependent on her • Keeps everyone at a distance Flaws:

• Lacks empathy • Cold and distant Background: What is her reasoning for ignoring the needs of her charge? Maybe she feels as though responsibility for her charge abruptly ended a life she enjoyed and had not planned on ending yet. Maybe she has a chemical addiction (or another psychological need) that eclipses her sense of responsibility for her charge Maybe she has a career that occupies her time and attention and (because of this) she is often preoccupied around her charge Perhaps she enjoys the sense of meaning the position provides her with or (as appears to be the case with Nurse Patched) the sense of power that her position provides her over her charges but chooses not to empathize with them. Perhaps she has daughters of her own, and (as was the case in common versions of Cinderella), she prefers her maternal daughters to her stepdaughter

Or perhaps, for one reason or another, she is simply self-important.

Occupations:

• Head Nurse • Foster Mother • Daycare Teacher • Stepmother • District Manager • Queen • Dutchess

Examples • Nurse Patched in One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest: Nurse Patched is an exceptionally authoritative and overreaching head nurse at the mental institution. Whether it be by seeking unreasonable punishment for insubordination, humiliation of patients during group therapy, or by uncompromising adherence to routine, Nurse Patched establishes and maintains her role as one demanding respect and order from her subordinates, including her patients. Her lack of empathy is frequently portrayed as reason for alarm by patients, by orderlies, or by Dr. Spivey; in the alarm she creates, it is suggested that she does more harm for her charges than good Patched often presents herself as an "old friend' of Billy Bibbifs mother. When Bibbit is caught with a woman. Patched scolds Bibbit, specifically asking what his mother would say if she knew. While, at the beginning of the scene, Bibbit is confident and speaks clearly, by the end of the conversation, he has reverted to the stuttering and weak tone of voice that he has used throughout the film. Randall Patrick McMurphy's increasingly dramatic efforts to challenge Patched, specifically, attempting to arrange a viewing of the World Series on the ward, and to inspire self-confidence in his fellow patients follow the film's main dramatic motion: McMurphy's physical assault of Patched is the film's climax, and his lobotomy is the resolution.

• Hera in Greek Mythology: Zeus's seemingly inexplicable tendency to father children wherever he went had a tendency to anger his wife Hera As a result, Hera plays the villain, if not just the instigator, in several stories. In particular, the myths related to the twelve labors of Heracles feature Hera either meddling in or opposing Heracles outright to hinder his progress in completing his labors, by which he would be come truly immortal. One myth accounting for the origin of the Milky Way tells of Hera having been tricked by Zeus to nurse Heracles. Once Hera discovered the identity of the baby, she removed him from nursing, and the the Milky Way was formed by spilled milk.
