How Cliche is the Character Above You

[Flamebird]

From a scale of 1-10, how cliche is the character of the person above you?

10 = The most cliche archetype amongst archetypes you ever did see!
1 = Actually original, unique, and unheard of.

Let's the games begin! :D

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

I'm going with 4, from what I've seen.

Inb4 everyone shouting "Aizen" and giving me a 10 :rolleyes:

[Flamebird]

When the writer himself admits the character is cliche and expects a ten... you know it's bad. xD

10/10

[Black Shadow]

From what I know about Felicity, she seems to be very little like a cliche, I’m going with a 3/10

[Hyperion]

I mean

He's a ninja named Black Shadow, yeah?

:I out of 10

[Nevin]

The huggomancer succulentwaifu is not something I've seen before. 0/10 for cliche.

[Venex Apara]

Blood mages are nothing new, but i like your take on it. 5/10

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

Half elf from Raiaera who doesn't use a bow, but a rapier?

3/10.

Right, then. Shall we try again on this cliche Shinsou business? Read the profile first kids. ;)

[Hyperion]

If you have to shout the Japanese-sounding names of your abilities to use them *and* you wield a katana while wearing a long coat, you're automatically--

:I out of 10.

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

Firstly, I don't have to shout anything. Secondly, only one of my blades is a katana. Thirdly....

Well...

Fine.

[Flamebird]

Lol, still 10/10 xD

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

I'm not giving up.

Someone love me.

[Hydra]

A formally mind-controlled amnesiac.

On a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being original and 10 being totally cliche, I give you an 8.

[FennWenn]

you are hydra
hydra queen?
plants in you wake
goals unknown, only two heads obtained
2/10

[Erik]

Mute, Frost writing Fae thief. I don't even know. Uhm. Fae thief, 1/10? Fuck.

[Nekoprincess]

Oops! Not nevin! An undead archer! I’d say unique! 4/10 whee!

Now on to hyper cat-girl! Meow how cliche is miss kitty girl?

[Venex Apara]

(I just noticed that I put Alerar as Ven's hometown in the character profile. Whoops. I'll need to fix that next level up... Or just adjust location... I haven done anything with his hometown... I should probably do that...)

Hmmm, neko girl, very anime like, 7/10.

[Flamebird]

Someone with elvish blood who is not stuck up, traditionalist, and arrogant? Someone with elvish blood who does not use a bow?? Someone with elvish blood who is carefree??? W.O.W.! :D

The half-breed standing (lol, I'm a hypocrite for saying this) and (presumably) blond elf hair dock some points off though. Also, I've noticed this stereotype of not-strong characters using rapiers as melee weapons...

I'd say about 5/10

[Philomel]

Half breed is a general thing. You've built one with neanderthal blood though which is very cool. Very fighter, barbarian base which is a thing, but she is an alchemist at the same time.

I'd give her a 5 out of 10. Mid range.

[Revenant]

Weregoat behemoth circus ringleader.

1/10

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

Kratos meets Astaroth

But so much cooler

5/10

[Max Dirks]

Althanas' Vishnu, almost to the letter w/ a trite backstory. Only Chris' solid storywriting has prevented Shinsou from being a marysue.

5/10.

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

Thank god someone is judging Shin on something other than his cover!

Max Dirks is overlord. 0/10.

[Flamebird]

Same as last time/10

[The Huntsman]

Smollest ragechild

[Tamameow]

He's a hunter who hunts big, scary things! With a big scary spear! But also a Drow.

4/10

[Flamebird]

Being a neko automatically docks originality points. She's rambunctious, energetic, and seems to be an optimist. Also, (biological) parents are dead or missing cliche.

8/10 Still love your character though! Our insaniac teenage girl characters should get together and burninate towns or something sometime! B)

[Zack Blaze]

7/10, because I know next to nothing about your character but can gather most of it from avatar and profile blurb alone.

[Flamebird]

Cocky, know-it-all street fighter, huh? Some things like the "I'm a street fighter nobody but I'd love to rule the world" and the fact that he can summon a troll adds a little bit of originality, but...

7/10

[Yvonne]

Felicity is a half-neanderthal lady berserker harbouring seemingly uncontrollable magic. She gets stronger when wounded as you'd expect from a berserker, but her blood is mildly caustic and she gives off nuclear radiation. A living bomb with a temper to match but also has a scientific mind for alchemy. A fighter that probably enjoys picking flowers for potions.

2/10. I imagine Felicity to be the end result of asking the question, "How do I take the common fighter archetype and run the hell away from all the cliches?"

[FennWenn]

2/10!

Half-n-half characters sometimes turn out like "HE IS PART VAMPIRE AND ALSO A DRAGON AND THIS IS BADASS", but Yvvie is a pretty reasonable and not-oft-explored drow/dwarf -- and it gets worked into her interaction with others nicely from what I've read! Her way of approaching the world, through this really intense and socially adept analysis is also pretty unique. She's aware of herself, within the reference of others around her? And aware of them in relation to herself? ahhh is good, <3

[Flamebird]

5/10 Fenn strikes me as a total leprechaun or "little trickster" archetype, even an ENTP archetype, but he's a good one! And he's so cute!

And that "Recent events have caused the tiny Fae to withdraw into himself a bit; he doesn’t trust strangers or adults so much anymore." *Starts bawling* :(

[Yvonne]

"Recent events have caused the tiny Fae to withdraw into himself a bit; he doesn’t trust strangers or adults so much anymore." *Starts bawling* :(

We should send Yvonne his way. See how he does with a nice stranger-adult which looks like a kid, heehee. His mind would be blown.

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

4/10. Tempted to add a point for the dwarven accent being stereotypically scottish but I like Yvonne so that's a no dice :)

Edit: In before "11/10 Aizen blah blah blah"

[Lilthis]

After reading your profile I’ll give you a 6/10 but that could be because I didn’t know who Aizen was without a google and I’m pretty uninitiated in anime.

[Ignis Glaciesque]

A dark elf that's open towards magic? Combining magic with technology? I really like this just by defying Alerar cliches! About 4/10

[Little Red]

A character that isn't Half and Half 8/10

[Flamebird]

It's... a bird?

3/10? :eek:

[Hayate_Amatsukami]

6/10 angry teen. Would hate to see anyone take your man.

[Flamebird]

Anime. You openly embrace the cliches of anime. So...

8/10? :/

[Philomel]

5/10
Some cliche in there in terms of a half-breed barbarian with some family background issues and temper problems, but at the same time unique in the neanderthal and the really awesome rage powers.

[Flamebird]

A purple haired feminazi faun in charge of an army of more feminazis with a spirit fox and a dragon.

4/10

[Storm Veritas]

Not-so-kiddish ginger neanderthal archer with angst and all sorts of abilities? Dime a dozen. 0/10.

[Flamebird]

:(

You're an older mage with back problems and a Squidward style attitude. 6/10?

[Tobias Stalt]

#Rage

5/10 Not the trope to the letter, but still great.

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

*Prepares for usual slating*

[Sage]

How cliché is Shin?

*Laughs in anime*

[Ignis Glaciesque]

Terrified of undead/10

Lol, in seriousness. A young boy who looks like a girl who is learning from a mentor and has heroic morals and stuff. 8/10. :P
