Line 1: {{work}}{{Mechanics of Writing}} '''[[45 Master Characters: Mythic Models for Creating Original Characters]]''' by Victoria Lynn Schmidt offers heroic and villainous sub-types of 8eight female and 8eight male archetypes, along with 4 Friend archetypes, 6 Rival archetypes, and 3 Symbol archetypes. The author connects each of the main archetypes to a figure from Greek or Egyptian myth, and describes in depth the characteristics of that archetype: what they care about, what they fear, what motivates them, and how other characters see them. She then shows how to tweak the character, take it a bit too far, and craft a villainous version. Archetypes covered: ~~This page will serve as the index for at least three pages (one for the Heroes, one for the Heroines, and one for the other archetypes).~~ * [[45 Master Characters: Mythic Models for Creating Original Characters/Heroes\|Heroes]]▼ * [[45 Master Characters: Mythic Models for Creating Original Characters/Heroines\|Heroines]]▼ * [[45 Master Characters: Mythic Models for Creating Original Characters/Support Characters\|Support Characters]]▼ Compare [[Heroes and Heroines]]. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} ~~== Notes ==~~ {{Work Needs Tropes}} I have the book here, but I don't understand it as much as I would like to understand it; therefore, my summary is a little suspect, but I don't think I'll stray too far from the basic idea. Once I understand it better, I'll check these pages, clarify the concepts, and remove this notice. Since these characters overlap to some degree with [[The Enneagram\|Enneagram]] types and the [[Heroes and Heroines]] archetypes, I'll note whenever these ties are particularly clear. As I said on the [[Heroes and Heroines]] page, I'm still trying to understand the world of copyright infringement; I hope I haven't gone too far in my summary, but to do much less than this would make the summary of little use on a site like TV Tropes. I'm pretty sure I'm within my rights to explain all the archetypes and relate them to the tropes on this site. ~~----~~ ▲[[Master Characters/Heroes\|Heroes]] ▲[[Master Characters/Heroines\|Heroines]] ▲[[Master Characters/Support Characters\|Support Characters]] ~~----~~ ~~'''''45 Master Characters: Mythic Models for Creating Original Characters''''' by Victoria Lynn Schmidt; published by Writer's Digest Books (www.writersdigest.com), 2007.~~ ISBN 1-58297-069-6 ISBN 978-1-58297-069-1 {{reflist}} [[Category:45 Master Characters: Mythic Models for Creating Original Characters]] [[Category:Books on Trope]] [[Category:Mechanics of Writing]]
