Category:Archetypes

Description: This category contains pages for individual character archetypes used in the Archetypal Tiering system. These archetypes describe the narrative and functional roles characters play in stories, crossovers, or general media appearances. Unlike powers or techniques, archetypes focus on how a character is conceptually framed, their recurring traits, and the ways they interact in narrative and crossover contexts.

Archetypes may include combat-focused roles (e.g., Power House, Speedster), narrative-oriented roles (e.g., God, Rival, Dreamer), or comedic/meta-oriented roles (e.g., Gag/Toonforce, Trickster, Underdog). These pages provide an objective framework for understanding a character’s general function and relevance across different contexts.

Usage Notes:

• Each archetype should have its own dedicated page with detailed information, examples, and narrative explanation.
• Use this category to organize all archetype pages so they are easily discoverable.
• Characters may be assigned multiple archetypes; see the Archetypal Tiering section for guidance on combining archetypes.
