Ahem.
Ahem.
This actually got me thinking and I went and googled character tropes to see a full list of them. What I found was basically every character ever.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArchetypalCharacter
Kaynen: Poor vision, but can see things beyond what most others can. As a soulseer, she's able to manipulate her soul and the souls of others, usually for good. Kaynen tends to remain neutral and untangled in emotional complexities of plots. She's the Blind Seer, Enigmatic Empowering Entity, and The Higher Self.
Champagne: Intense, passionate personality. Feels a need to dominate, by whatever means possible... even if it involves using sexuality as a weapon. She leads a small army in a battle for what she believes as good. She has elements of The Lady In Red, The Good Bad Girl, Femme Fatale, The Rebel Leader, The Ladette, and The Hard Drinking Party Girl.
Torrid: Playful, mischievous, generally tends to bend and break rules just because he can. Openly flirtatious, friends with everyone but never actually pledges allegiance to any group. Always seems to have a lot of money, but is generous and just as willing to give it all away. Torrid has overthrown the head of the Mafia in Missionpoint, Mada, and secretly assumes his title. He's a shapeshifter who is nearly impossible to make angry, but when he does, he loses control and becomes a nonsentient monster. He's got tropes galore: The Rebellious Spirit, The Gentle Giant, The Lovable Rogue, Just Like Robin Hood, Chaotic Good, The Mock Millionaire, The Drunken Sailor, The Reluctant Monster, The Shapeshifter, The Trickster, Boisterous Bruiser, and almost but getting there, The Anti-Hero.
Shelter: A former priestess with a golden heart, a loving soul, and the desire to bring as much happiness as she could to others. She was sacrificed to an evil entity for selfish gains. She has bits and pieces of The Messianic Archetype, The Idealist, and The Damsel in Distress.
Lasciv: An older gentleman, father of Champagne, with a huge voice and an even bigger heart. He's always telling stories, giving advice, or just generally loving others. He might be old, but he still stirs up trouble every now and then, and can hold his own in a fight. He has the ability to control and spread diseases through his blood. He's: The Mentor Archetype, more specifically Eccentric Mentor, The Storyteller, Father Neptune, and The Shell Shocked Senior.
.... yeah, I'm not even gonna try and pretend that I'm creative.
