ACTION GIRL    :

An Action Girl is a female badass who is tough and kicks butt. Damsel in Distress? Not her. She’s featured in far more than the Designated Girl Fight. She faces dangerous foes and deadly obstacles, and she wins.

DETERMINATOR   :

A character — good or evil, male or female, young or old — who never gives up. Ever. No matter what. There is no stopping the Determinator. They do not understand tact. They do not Know When to Fold ‘Em, and it’s a waste of time to tell them the odds. No one can reason with them. They’ll do whatever they have to without question. No price is too great to pay for success, up to and including their own life. Do not expect them to realize they might be better off letting it go, even if they can barely stand. If you’re ever kidnapped or lost with no hope of rescue, they’ll be the one who will find you. Their adversaries will shout, in exasperated rage,“Why Won’t You Die?!”. For them, there is no line between “perseverance” and “insanity.”

A Pragmatic Hero lacks the “moral cleanliness” of an Ideal Hero. When fighting evil, they often commit acts that might seem more characteristic of a villain than a hero. However, Pragmatic Heroes have morally good intentions and often hold themselves to strict moral standards—it’s just that those standards aren’t always what others might expect from a hero. This type of hero tends to be much more concerned with whatever heroic business the plotline has assigned them than the niceties of proper heroic etiquette. However, with the exception of unintentional mistakes, they will rarely if ever commit a villainous deed that doesn’t further the cause of good in a way

BADASS NORMAL   :

In a world with supernatural dealings or superpowers, this character is the one who is able to keep being useful through intellect, martial arts abilities, general ruthlessness, or just being Crazy-Prepared.  They notably have none of the fantastic enhancements, magic, or special powers that others do. It might even be a sore point for them, but that just makes us encourage them more. Female versions are usually Action Girls with a Girl Posse or Lovely Angels.

RELIGIOUS BRUISER   :

What distinguishes this trope from Church Militant and Badass Preacher is the emphasis. A Religious Bruiser may or may not kick ass, but if he does, it’s his primary occupation. For the Badass Preacher, ass-kicking is secondary to his vocation (or if Church Militant is at play, ass-kicking is his vocation). This is also partially an audience or character reaction trope. With theBadass Preacher, characters will be surprised to learn that the man in the white collar can kick ass. With the Religious Bruiser, the characters will be surprised that the man who kicks ass wears the white collar from time to time.

BRUISER WITH A SOFT CENTER    :

The big, burly, super macho guy who is nothing but a stack of muscles is pretty much a brick, right? Not so much. True love or a sweet, touching moment reveals what a big softy he really is under all that hard muscle. Hands that can smash through walls effortlessly now rise to hide the Tender Tears, or remain stoically at his sides as he weeps Manly Tears.  Thugs will limp away nursing cuts and bruises from his mighty fists. Children and small cuddly animals will simply treat his great ham hands like cozy furniture to snuggle up in. Enemies will flee from his mighty roar or battle cry. But he will sit still and quiet if a kitten curls up on his chest purring, and he’ll let her stay as long as she pleases.

KNIGHT IN SOUR ARMOR   :  

The world is filled with Wide Eyed Idealists who believe in truth and justice and devote their lives to fighting for it. And then the dark, cruel and brutal world keeps letting them down. For them, Being Good Sucks. But rather than giving up on their goals, they choose to fight not because they believe they will truly make a difference, but because it’s the right thing to do.

ONE WOMAN ARMY.

Sometimes The Hero (or The Big Guy in their team) will face a large horde of Mooks and tell their leader he’s going down. The leader will often say, “You and What Army?”, then discover that the hero doesn’t need one. This one man can go around and kill thousands of enemies.  The One Man Army does far more than pull his own weight. Villains tend to underestimate this person at first, considering him Just One Man. They are quickly proven wrong. This is often justified by making the character a Super Soldier against mundanes, possessing far superior weaponry, or otherwise tremendously advantaged.

SOLE SURVIVOR    : 

It could happen in a lot of ways. Your family picnic is gunned down by The Mafia. Your platoon is ordered to do something suicidal by General Ripper. Your ship goes down. Your Doomed Hometown has a volcano erupt on it. You were Playing Possum when wounded. You were knocked unconscious during the Last Stand. You were the lucky duck who did not find the Applied Phlebotinum lethal. You were sent to Bring News Back. You were ordered to perform some errand, often stunningly trivial, which left you off-base when the surprise attack overwhelmed it. But somehow you alone survive this horrible event. You’ve become a Sole Survivor.  This is the eventual outcome of a Dwindling Party. It can lead to Survivor Guilt or a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. A Sole Survivor may become a Zen Survivor or Shellshocked Veteran.

COOL BIG SIS   :

If your show is aimed at a younger audience, this young woman (usually in her mid to late teens, sometimes in her early 20s) will be older than the Shorttank and be the girl everyone thinks is hot (if they’re nice) or an Alpha Bitch (if they’re not), though their personalities can vary widely from Tsundere to Emotionless Girl to Tomboy. The Shorttank girls often admire them, even when they playfully flirt with the much younger male lead and steal everyone’s attention. The Shrinking Violet will admire and at the same time envy how more open her Big Sister figure is with her thoughts and feelings. 

CULTURED WARRIOR    :  

Many soldiers in fiction are rough, abrasive grunts who wouldn’t know a work of poetry if it hit them during an artillery barrage.  The Cultured Warrior is somewhat different. He (it’s usually a he; if it’s a she, she’s usually also a Lady of War) knows his history and culture. He’ll happily quote Byron or Keats during a battle. Often a Blue Blood, he likes fine wines and opera music, and may have gone to a Boarding School. Oftentimes, they simply believe that things like culture are what they are fighting for; without the fine things in life, there is nothing but more war to look forward to.  It does not need to be evident at first. This is a common form of Hidden Depths.
