Build Character 2

I have forgotten to mention this from the earlier post, but there is something known as a "build character". Yes, it is a word/phrase I just made up. But a build character means that its "that form" or "ideal kind of character" such as Horatio being the "ideal character". Crap this is hard to explain...well people from all over the centuries have been writing stories and buildin' on top of each other and finding new and original creations.

There can only be so many characterizations for a character and so the plot has to be twisted and designated for a specific purpose, you know? Take for instance, genres. You will always have romances, mystery, conspiracy, and middle earth stories. They all need "something" to be that "genre". And well..most of the time it's the same thing. So in turn, throughout time, stories get retold, refined, and always points back to it's allusions.

And here are the build characters, and yes, they sound like titles or aliases. Cliches are also noted along with the character spectrum. Now which one will you pick?

The Great Hero/The Beowulf/The Superman/ The invincible/ The unbeatable/
The Joker/The Comedian/ The Jester/The one who can judge and speak the truth/
The Smart character/ The Brainiac/The Ace student
The Idiot/ The lovable character/ The main Character
The Heroine/ The Mistress
The Spy/ The Conspirator/ The man behind the scenes
The Boss/ The king pin/ Keysor soze/ The Mastermind/ The L
The Strong girl/
The supporting character/
The Explorer/ The seeker of truth/ The obsessed/ The one who is seeing the truth/ The one who Has seen the truth/ The great all seeing person/ The blind one/

The Dark Knight/ The scapegoat/ The responsible one/ The justified one/
The strong willed/
The jumper/

That is it for now, whew.
