This weekly discussion is based around: character archetypes.

One of my protagonists in my WIP is the outlaw.Autumns heart filled with revenge, everything stripped from her since birth. Braking the laws to get what she wants – regardless of the consequences, even if she spills the blood of royalty.
Who is your character?

I have a recurring pair of characters in a science fiction series of shorts. One character is basically a early 20th century noir detective transplanted into this future setting. He’s a bit of an outlaw, as he bucks authority, but he is also an explorer/sage as he seeks out history and knowledge. The other character is a regular gal/lover, who just wants to associate with the lead. But she’s an alien, so there’s that. In my heroic fantasy series, my lead might be more of a caregiver than a hero, based on the idea of seeking stability and concern for others over one’s own glory. I don’t know if I have any characters that fit one of these archetypes perfectly, they all seem to be a blend of two or more.

Most characters are a blend, it’s just interesting to see how these types can relate to our own works and affirm our characters traits 😃
