What kind of character would you be?
 

Hello, GD! I'd like to know what kind of character you think you'd be!
Book or cartoon, TV or play, I'd like to know what kind of character type would fit you.

It can be simple or complex, recurring or one time appearance.

For example, here's the type of cahracter I think I'd be:

+ Comic Relief Type: The character that brings humor to an intense or morbid situation, a break from a normally dark or serious plot. High chance of being the one that dies or gets into a situation even he/she can't see the brightside, and needs someone (a main character) to show them the way.

I'd come off as being a very shallow, 2-dimensional character unless I starred in a "very special episode" (an episode that addresses a recent tragedy or epidemic, such as AIDs, then continues down it's normal plotline) which showed myself in a new light.

Anti-hero, huh? Sounds pretty intense. :O

Hmm, I guess I'm also like the annoyingly bookish character. The kid in class who always knows the answer, and always ends up having to answer because no one else cares. D:

I'd be the character in the background that doesn't even have a face, he's so unimportant to the story.

Well, I wasn't really going by a specific guide... I was just thinking of the shows I've watched and the things you typically see there.

Like, for instance:

The Insecure Tough Guy/ Tomboy: The rebellious character who comes off as being antisocial and uninterested in the events going on around them, may act indifferent to failing tests or classes. In reality, they care very much, but act like they don't to mask emotions. Actually has a heart of gold and an honorcode they follow to a T.

May be a victim of abuse or abandonment.

Hmm. There are a few choices:

The "Loli" (or the "Cute, hyper, little one")
The "Magical Girl" (or "Mecha in disguise")

I'd probably the brainy, advice-giving type who's often the butt of jokes, but helps the other characters with sticky situations.

I am my own character. XD I can't fathom being anyone else.

I think that's the point... what kind of character describes you.

I'm not really sure, though.

The unexpected Hero
 

If I had to say...I would be the unexpected hero. I would seem like the fool who can't get anything done, but when it comes down to it, I'm the one who saves the day. I'm usually underestimated until I show my true potential. It's sad how prejudgice is growing these days.:(

Well, since I have to think about it...:sarcasm: I'd have to say: An independent, opinionated and philosophical dreamer with a bright outlook on life and the surrounding world.

Prejudice? Growing? It's been alive and well since the beginning of the human race.

I'd be the lead character of a school-based farce. The only one one who sees that the situation around is going completely insane, and falling apart to a comical extent, and is desperately trying to fix it...but ends up tripping down a flight of stairs every time she even comes close.

I don't know, I just think that would be a good role for me. XD

*laughs*

I've actually said before that in a movie i'd be the comic relief. I'm not the main focus of the story but i'm there to inject some much needed humor. Plus my inevitabe death gives the protagonist a sense of duty and direction. ... I said 'duty'.

The way I see it... You and me, we're dead weight in films. It's sitcoms where we shine. Our wit and sassy comebacks often overshadow the lead characters. People tune in by the millions to see what whacky thing we'll do next. Why we'll get so big that eventually we'll abandon our supporting roles for our own spinoff. ... Which will eventually fail and then we fade into obscurity.

...

:insane: ... :|

hmmm... I would be the person behind the cash register working every day. (introvert) Like from the movie anger management.
Then one day, I would snap and kill everybody.

:3 Thanks for the replies, everyone! I thought for sure this thread would have died by the time I got back!

D: Or we'll end up appearing EVERYWHERE, overkilling with guest appearances and cooking i nthe celebrity spotlight. 75% chance we ruin ourselves, especially after starring in that terrible B-rate horror movie everyone hated.... 25% chance we'll slow down a bit, realize we're overexposing ourselves, and making the good decision to appear on a more serious show (probably a medical or law one, such as E.R.) and giving a great performance, showing we aren't just the comic actor and shooting ourselves into superstardom!

.....But, yeah, probably obscurity. D:

The villain definitely! The evil mastermind out plotting no good to ruin the heroes day... the very sexy villain as they always are :D
I always feel the villains are smarter, even though they usually lose for some unknown reason... why can't things not have a happy ending and the badguy win? Why? I wish! :)

I love villains though, I love how they're portrayed and how they think. I also like the villain that show's remorse, they're bad, they know it but feel kinda but for screwing everyone around.

Thankfully, it doesn't stop them though :)

Hooray for the villain!

lol, maybe we could team up! We both seem to like causing a bit of trouble :)
Hopefully you won't be the character that gets the blame in the end though.
