02/06/09(Fri)19:32 No.3634049The heroes need to be a five (wo)man group consisting of (from tv tropes):
* The Hero — The leader of the group. Can be clean-cut and upstanding, bold and charismatic, serious and driven, or some combination of the three. * The Lancer — The second-in-command, usually a contrast to The Hero. If the Hero is clean-cut and/or uptight, the Lancer is a grizzled Anti Hero or Deadpan Snarker; if the Hero is driven and somewhat amoral, the Lancer is more relaxed and level-headed. He is usually The Rival to the hero either as a friend or former enemy. Tends to be attracted to The Chick, if he's not attracted to The Hero instead. * The Smart Guy — The physically weak, but intelligent or clever member. Often nerdy and awkward played for comic relief. Sometimes a trickster and a buddy of the Big Guy. May be the one with all the "street" connections. * The Big Guy — The strongman of the team. May be dumb. Or mute. * The Chick — A peacekeeping role to balance out the other members aggression, bringing them to a nice or at least manageable medium. Not always female, but is usually taken by the Token Girl, hence the name. Sometimes written as "the useless girl", which can cause a backlash from the fans. Sometimes replaced by or overlaps with the Action Girl.
also, chapters of space marines besides ultramarines sometimes need to be taught life lessons, ie. Blood Angels: Getting angry never solves your problems. |
