A [[Five-Man Band]] specializes by role to the team. [[The Hero|Someone leads]], [[The Lancer|someone disagrees]], [[The Smart Guy|someone is smart]], [[The Big Guy|someone is tough]], and [[The Chick|someone ensures that none of the]] [[The Face|above kill each other]].
Line 11 ⟶ 13:
But there is a way to make a group of people diverse without giving them specialized roles in a form of a group that would probably best be specialized for questing. One way is through personality, in this case based off of [[Science Marches On|wacky ancient pseudoscience]].
The four temperaments (also called the "four humors") was a theory that behavior was caused by concentrations of body
The four temperaments (humors) are:
* '''{{
* '''{{
* '''{{color|black|Melancholic (black bile)}}:''' Introverted and task-oriented. Independent, courteous, organized, hard-working, [[The Smart Guy|analytical]]; but also a detached, [[The Spock|broo]][[Byronic Hero|ding]], [[Super OCD|obsessive]] [[The Perfectionist|perfectionist]] whose [[Knight Templar|insanely high standards]] lead to [[The Eeyore|depression]]. Corresponds to the element of [[Dishing Out Dirt|earth]]. If female, will be a more brooding/loner type [[Ice Queen]].
* '''{{
Alternatively, there's a system of five temperaments where the Phlegmatic is moved into a central, fifth position, with the fourth corner being filled by the Supine temperament:
* '''{{
* '''{{
A Four Temperament Ensemble will have one character to fit each one of these four temperaments. Sometimes a Five Man Band with four members will also be a Four Temperament Ensemble, but in many cases, they're mutually exclusive.
Line 29 ⟶ 31:
There is also some overlap with [[Power Trio]] scenarios: [[The McCoy]] is usually Sanguine, [[The Kirk]] is usually Phlegmatic, and [[The Spock]] is usually Choleric; in these cases, the Melancholic role will be filled by a prominent supporting character, who is still clearly outside of the triad. in [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]], a Red Oni will likely be Choleric or Sanguine, while a Blue Oni will more likely be Melancholic or Phlegmatic. A five-temperament version could be seen as the maximum extension of a [[Power Trio]] - The Phlegmatic Type II is [[The Kirk]], The Choleric and The Sanguine are [[The McCoy]], the angry side and the carefree side respectively, and The Melancholic and The Supine are [[The Spock]], the obnoxious side and the withdrawn side respectively.
They are also similar to the four [[Personality Blood Types]], and are sometimes also a [[Four-Element Ensemble]]. See also [[Cast Calculus]] for the overarching archetypes in this and differently numbered ensembles. [[
Additionally, Pseudolonewolf (of [[MARDEK]] fame) has a page that goes into great detail on the four temperaments, [https://web.archive.org/web/20140827233551/http://archive.fighunter.com/?page=temperaments here.]
For another way to split up a group of four, see [[Four-Philosophy Ensemble]].
