Line 5:
Michelangelo is a party dude!"''|Theme to [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] <ref>And whenever a female joins the group, they become a five-man version.</ref>}}
 
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]].
 
Unfortunately, when writing within context of a certain profession, goal, or genre, some of these roles are useless, and especially when characters are in groups that are supposed to be specialized, it doesn't make sense to have some of these roles; in a group of scientific researchers, wouldn't all of them be smart? In a group of politicians, wouldn't all of them lead and disagree? Don't astronauts have to be well-rounded and exceptional in many ways?
Line 16:
 
* '''{{color|red|Sanguine (blood)}}:''' Extroverted and people-oriented. Exhibits optimism, good cheer, [[Boisterous Bruiser|a love of fun]], enthusiasm. On the flip side, they may be impulsive, arrogant, self-indulgent, [[Mood Swinger|easily angered or upset]], [[The McCoy|wear their hearts on their sleeves]], or even be a [[Cloudcuckoolander|space case]]. Corresponds to the element of [[Blow You Away|air]]. If female, will be a [[Genki Girl]], [[The Pollyanna]], or a more [[Plucky Girl|plucky]]/out-going [[Proper Lady]].
* '''{{color|gold|Choleric (yellow bile)}}:''' Extroverted and task-oriented. Exhibits [[The Kirk|leadership]], dominance, [[Determinator|ambition]], charisma, passion. But also shows narrow-mindedness, obsession, and a [[Hair -Trigger Temper]]. Likes to be independent and have control over others; could be a [[Bad Boss]] if in charge. Corresponds to the element of [[Playing With Fire|fire]]. If female, will be a fierce and [[Hot Blooded]] [[Lady of War]] or a [[Tsundere]].
* '''{{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]].
* '''{{color|green|Phlegmatic (phlegm)}}:''' Introverted and people-oriented. Is calm, [[The Stoic|stoic]], [[Only Sane Man|reliable]], [[Nice Guy|compassionate]], observant; but also [[Lazy Bum|lazy]], reactionary, [[Extreme Doormat|docile]]. Tends to be dependent on others, either by choice or because of insecurity. Corresponds to the element of [[Making a Splash|water]]. If female, will be either a [[Dandere]], [[Shrinking Violet]], submissive [[Proper Lady]], a more calm and collected [[Lady of War]], or an [[Emotionless Girl|emotionless]] [[Ice Queen]].
Line 27:
For the five-temperament version, the most common match-ups for the roles would be: [[The Hero]] - Phlegmatic (type II), [[The Lancer]] - Choleric, [[The Big Guy]] - Sanguine, [[The Smart Guy]] - Melancholic, [[The Chick]] - Supine.
 
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. [[Orphaned/Image Links/Four Temperment Ensemble|Here is an Image Archive for this trope]].
 
Additionally, Pseudolonewolf (of [[MARDEK]] fame) has a page that goes into great detail on the four temperaments, [http://archive.fighunter.com/?page=temperaments here.]
 
For another way to split up a group of four, see [[Four Philosophy Ensemble]].
{{examples|Examples:}}
 
== Anime and Manga ==
Line 70:
* The main four of ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', with Yusuke as Choleric, Kuwabara as Sanguine, Kurama as Phlegmatic and Hiei as Melancholic.
* ''[[Black Lagoon]]'': [[Sociopathic Hero|Revy]] is ''very'' Choleric, [[Wide Eyed Idealist|Rock]] is Melancholic, [[Mission Control|Benny]] is Sanguine, and [[Bald Black Leader Guy|Dutch]] is Phlegmatic.
* ''[[Trigun]]'' more often averts this trope in favor of the [[The Drifter|Lone Hero]] or the [[Power Trio]]. Adding Wolfwood to the cast has a subtractive effect instead, generating a [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|duo dynamic]] that leaves Meryl and Millie on the sidelines. When they participate equally the fit the four temperaments; Millie as sanguine, Meryl as choleric, Vash as melancholic (though he pretends to be sanguine) and Wolfwood as phlegmatic.
* ''[[Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei]]'': Kafuka is Sanguine, Nami is Phlegmatic, Chiri is Choleric, and Itoshiki-sensei is Melancholic.
** Also in the show, Haga is sanguine, Jun is phlegmatic, Kuniya is choleric and Aoyama is melancholic.
Line 79:
* The Le Creuset team in ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' kinda fits this: Athrun is Melancholic, Yzak is Choleric, Dearka is Phlegm and Nicol is Supine. The four main leads as well with Kira and Athrun being phlegmatic and melancholic, respectively, Cagali being choleric and Lacus being sanguine.
** The Minerva pilots in ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'' possess two temparents: Shinn is both Sanguine and Melancholic, Athrun is Choleric and Melancholic, Ray is both Melancholic and Phlegmatic and Lunamaria is Sanguine and Supine.
* The titular band in ''[[Beck]]'' fits this even better than the [[Five -Man Band]] pattern: hot-blooded Chiba (Sanguine), charismatic and ambitious Ryuusuke (Choleric), calm and collected Taira (Melancholic) and everyman Koyuki (Supine). Only Saku's Phlegmatic nature is perhaps not so immediately obvious, but he keeps constantly worrying about his skills holding the band back, even though he's a ''really'' good drummer.
* In the original ''[[Weiss Kreuz]]'', Ken is sanguine, Youji is phlegmatic, Aya is choleric, and Omi is melancholic. Between the choleric personality and being the focus character, casual fans often mistake Aya for being the team leader--it's actually Omi.
* The four ARMS teenagers in [[Project ARMS]]. Ryo is Phlegmatic, Hayato is Choleric, Takeshi is Sanguine, and Kei is Melancholic.
Line 94:
* The [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]] from ''[[Code Geass]]'': Lelouch/Kallen (phlegmatic II facade but actually choleric), Suzaku (melancholic), Nunally/Nina (supine), Rivalz (phlegmatic), and Shirley/Milly (sanguine).
** [[The Empire|Britannian]] royalty: [[The Emperor]]/[[Lady of War|Cornelia]] (choleric), [[Manipulative Bitch|Queen Marianne]] (Melancholic), [[Rebellious Princess|Euphemia]]/Clovis (sanguine), and [[The White Prince|Schneizel]] (phlegmatic).
* ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'': [[Nun -Too -Holy|Rosette]] is sanguine ([[Hot Blooded]], cares a lot about others and has a violent temper), [[Failure Knight|Chrono]] is phlegmatic (compassionate and nurturing, but easily discouraged), [[Heroic Albino|Azmaria]] is melancholic (a prodigy singer, very caring about others, but insecure and hard on herself) and [[Ms. Fanservice|Satella]] is choleric (prideful, determined, and focused on her revenge).
* The four mages introduced in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] StrikerS''. [[Genki Girl]] [[The Pollyanna|Pollyanna]] Subaru is Sanguine, natural leader (former) [[Tsundere]] Teana is Choleric, knight-in-training Erio is Melancholic, and Caro is Phlegmatic. The last two's personalities actually caused a bit of family drama for their also Melancohlic adopted mother in the second ''[[Audio Adaptation|StrikerS Sound Stage]]'', since [[Nonverbal Miscommunication|their combined introvertedness caused some communication problems]].
** Similarly, Hayate's four knights. Vita is choleric, Signum is melancholic, Zafira is phlegmatic, and Shamal is sanguine.
** After [[Striker S]], the four Combat Cyborgs {{spoiler|who were adopted into the Nakajima family}} are this, with Nove being choleric, Dieci being melancholic, Cinque being phlegmatic and [[Genki Girl|Wendi]] being sanguine.
* The "main" cast in ''[[Bleach]]'': Ichigo (melancholic), Rukia/Orihime (sanguine), Chad (phegmatic), Uryu (choleric).
** [[Big Bad|Aizen]] and his [[Co -Dragons]]: [[Knight Templar|Tousen]] is melancholic, [[Trickster Archetype|Gin]] is sanguine, while Aizen himself is probably choleric.
** The staff of Urahara's shop: Urahara is phlegmatic, Tessai is sanguine, Jinta is choleric, and Ururu is melancholic.
* Although everyone in ''[[Ookiku Furikabutte]]'' gets their turn to shine, the story tends to focus on four core members of the baseball team. [[Cloudcuckoolander|Tajima]] is sanguine, [[The Captain|Hanai]] is choleric, [[The Strategist|Abe]] is melancholic, and [[Fragile Flower|Mihashi]] is phlegmatic.
Line 144:
* ''[[Archie Comics]]'': Typically, Archie is Sanguine, Veronica is Choleric, Betty is Melancholic and Jughead is Phlegmatic. Of course, with ''Archie Comics'', it can vary from story to story.
* Brazilian comic ''[[Monica's Gang]]'': Monica is choleric (and how!), Cebolinha/Jimmy Five is sanguine, Cascão/Smudge is melancholic, and Magali/Maggy is supine.
* Argentine comic ''[[Mafalda]]'': Mafalda is choleric, Susanita is sanguine, Felipe is melancholic, and Manolito is phlegmatic. And when they became a [[Five -Man Band]]: Miguelito is supine ([[Sixth Ranger]] Libertad also fits supine, when [[Tranquil Fury|she's not choleric]]).
* ''[[Watchmen]]'': Rorschach (melancholic); Dr. Manhattan (phlegmatic); Ozymandias (sanguine); Comedian (choleric). (Laurie and Dan are "supine").
* ''[[Bone]]'': Fone (melancholic), Phoney (sanguine), Smiley (phlegmatic), Thorn (choleric)
Line 318:
* ''[[Lie to Me (TV)|Lie to Me]]'': Lightman is choleric, Foster is melancholic, Torres is sanguine and Loker is phlegmatic.
* The cast of ''[[Sliders]]'' fits this, Arturo is choleric, Rembrandt is melancholic (even his stage name is 'the crying man'), Quinn is phlegmatic and Wade is sanguine.
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' has an alternate personality division: Willow is the [[Women Are Wiser|Spirit]] (cuz of the magic and her pluckiness), Giles is the Mind (he of the books and British schooling), Xander is the Heart ([[Non -Action Guy|because what else is he going to do?]]), and Buffy is the [[The Lancer|Hand]] (because of the punchingness of her).
** The characters can also be divided up quite well according to the standard intepretation: Xander as the Sanguine, Buffy as the Choleric, Willow as the Melancholic, and Giles as the Phlegmatic.
*** In season 2, the core group of teens can be grouped this way. Buffy (Choleric), Willow (Melancholic), Xander (Sanguine), and Oz (Phlegmatic).
Line 332:
** Garcia is sanguine
** Rossi is phlegmatic II
* The four surgeons at the 4077th ''[[MashM*A*S*H (TV)|Mash]]'' keep this up throughout the series. Hawkeye is the constant, Sanguine, [[McLeaned|Blake]]/Potter the Choleric, Burns/Winchester the Melancholic, and Trapper/B.J. Phlegmatic. Despite the [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute|replacement characters]] all being vastly different than their predecessors, they still fill the spots left open.
* ''[[Frasier (TV)|Frasier]]'' features the choleric title character as well as Daphne, who is supine, Niles, melancholic as they come, the phlegmatic Martin, and Roz the sanguine.

Line 382:
* ''[[Happy Endings (TV)|Happy Endings]]'': Competitive sisters Alex and Jane are both basically choleric, Brad and Penny (despite single gal angst) are sanguine, Dave is melancholic, and Max couldn't be more phlegmatic if he tried.
* ''[[Victorious (TV)|Victorious]]'': Trina (Choleric), Cat (Sanguine), Jade (Melancholic), and Tori (Phlegmatic).

* The titular characters in ''[[Pretty Little Liars]]'' are almost a textbook case:
Line 415:

* The Corrs: Andrea is melancholic, Jim is choleric, Sharon is supine, Caroline is sanguine.
* [[Metallica (Music)|Metallica]]: James Hetfield is choleric, Lars Ulrich is sanguine, and Kirk Hammett is phlegmatic.

Line 448:
** [[Villainous Glutton|Vorinclex]] is Sanguine.
** [[Dark Chick|Urabrask]] is Supine.
* While ''[[FATAL (Tabletop Game)|FATAL]]'' does have a humors system, there is no rule forcing your party to be a [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]. Indeed, this would actively contradict the obsessive randomisation inherent to the FATAL system.
* In ''[[Warhammer (Tabletop Game)|Warhammer]]'' and ''[[Warhammer 40000 (Tabletop Game)|Warhammer 40000]]'', appropriately enough, the four gods of Chaos each represent an emotion and mindset. Khorne (the god of anger and bloodshed) is choleric, Slaanesh (god of passion and lust) is sanguine, Tzeentch (god of ambition and hope) is (ironically) melancholic, and Nurgle (god of despair and disease) is (appropriately) phlegmatic.

* Count Bleck's [[Five -Bad Band]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario (Video Game)|Super Paper Mario]]'': O'Chunks is choleric, Dimentio is sanguine, Nastasia is melancholic and Mimi is supine (with a good dose of [[Ax Crazy]]).
* The four Clone Commandos of [[Republic Commando|Delta Squad]] are this. Delta-38, "Boss", is choleric, showing good leadership instincts. Delta-40, "Fixer", is phlegmatic, being, as Taun We put it, "A pure and uncomplicated soldier." Delta-62, "Scorch", is blood, showing much enjoyment in blowing the CIS forces apart. Delta-07, "Sev", is melancholic, being the [[Cold Sniper]] of the group and showing great care to place each round for maximum effenciency.
* Both ''[[Left 4 Dead]]'' and its sequel star a four-man (or, technically, three-man and [[The Smurfette Principle|one-woman]]) band. In the first, [[Cool Old Guy|Bill]] is melancholic, [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold|Francis]] is choleric, [[Nice Guy|Louis]] is sanguine, and [[The Chick|Zoey]] is phlegmatic. In the second, [[Deadpan Snarker|Nick]], [[Team Dad|Coach]], [[Cloudcuckoolander|Ellis]], and [[Sassy Black Woman|Rochelle]] for the most part fill those roles respectively, though Ellis is the most clean-cut/consistent.
* ''[[Suikoden III]]'' has three groups. The main characters, [[Non -Action Guy|Thomas]] is melancholic, [[Warrior Prince|Hugo]] is sanguine, [[Lady of War|Chris]] is choleric and [[Shell -Shocked Veteran|Geddoe]] is phlegm. Duke's group, [[Unknown Rival|Duke]] is choleric, [[Ms. Fanservice|Elaine]] is sanguine, [[Parental Substitute|Nicholas]] is melancholic and [[Eyepatch of Power|Gau]] is phlegm.

* The Group from ''[[The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'' exhibits this. Telma is Sanguine, Auru is Choleric, Shad is Melancholic, and Ashei is Phlegmatic.
** The four forms, or, more precisely, [[Soul Jar|the people the transformation masks come from]] in ''[[Majoras Mask]]'' look to fall into this decently as well. The [[The Woobie|Woobie]]-like Deku Kid is/[[Posthumous Character|was]] melancholic, Darmani is/was choleric, Mikau is/was sanguine, and Link, [[The Hero]], gets to be phlegmatic.
Line 529:
** Blue Team: Church and Tex - Choleric, Tucker - Sanguine, Doc - Melancholic, and Caboose - neutral Phlegmatic, despite being a complete [[The Ditz]].
* The four main characters of the [[Web Animation]] series ''[[Broken Saints]]'' fit fairly well: Oran is Choleric, Kamimura is Melancholic, Raimi is Phlegmatic, and Shandala is Sanguine. (albeit, Shandala doesn't quite fit any of them, but her bright, cheerful, and compassionate nature recommend her most to Sanguine)
* The Light Warriors of ''[[Eight 8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|8-Bit Theater]]'': Red Mage is Sanguine (emphasis on arrogant and self-indulgent), Thief is Choleric (emphasis on narrow-minded and obsessive), Fighter is Phlegmatic (emphasis on lazy and reactionary), and Black Mage is Melancholic (emphasis on [[Loners Are Freaks|independence]] and [[Kill 'Em All|perfection]]).
* In ''[[The Dreamer]]'', Alan is Phlegmatic Type II, Alexander is Choleric, Beatrice is Sanguine, and Nathan is Melancholic.
* ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' fits this trope very well: Torg is Sanguine, Riff is Melancholic, Gwynn is Choleric, and Zoë is Phlegmatic.
Line 557:
** And for the Kankers, May is sanguine/phlegmatic, while Lee and Marie are sanguine/choleric.
* ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'': Hank is sanguine, Brock Samson is ''extremely'' choleric, Dean is melancholic, and Dr. Venture is phlegmatic.
* ''[[South Park]]:'' [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist|C]][[Brilliant but Lazy|a]][[Magnificent Bastard|r]][[Manipulative Bastard|t]][[Genius Ditz|m]][[Dangerously Genre Savvy|a]][[Anti -Hero|n]] is choleric, [[The Hedonist|Ke]][[Butt Monkey|nny]] is sanguine, [[The Smart Guy|K]][[Insufferable Genius|y]][[The Conscience|l]][[The Paragon|e]] is melancholic, [[Only Sane Man|S]][[Deadpan Snarker|t]][[Surrounded By Idiots|a]][[The Everyman|n]] is phlegmatic, and [[Children Are Innocent|Bu]][[Pollyanna|tt]][[Got Volunteered|e]][[Kiddie Kid|rs]] is supine.
* ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]'': Fry is phlegmatic, Leela is choleric, Bender is sanguine and Farnsworth is melancholic.
* ''[[Danny Phantom]]'''s four-member "Team Phantom" can exhibit these: Danny is Choleric for good leadership skills, but highly emotional personality, Tucker is Sanguine because he's fun-loving, Jazz, though not depressive is Melancholic for her kind, but perfectionist persona, and Sam is Phlegmatic because she's a responsible [[Deadpan Snarker|Stoic Goth]].
Line 574:
* ''[[The Amazing Chan and The Chan Clan]]'', the four youngest children: Flip is Choleric, Nancy is Phlegmatic, Mimi is Melancholic and Scooter is Sanguine.
** The middle four also fall into this: Anne is Choleric, Alan is Sanguine, Tom is Melancholic and Suzie is a Type II Phlegmatic
* The human characters of ''[[Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated]]'' appropriately [[Colour -Coded for Your Convenience|match their own color schemes]]. Daphne is Sanguine (Red Hair) she is the most optimistic and cheerful of the group, Velma is Choleric (Yellow Sweater), she exhibits leadership when solving the mystery and is rather pushy, and a rather violent [[Tsundere]] at her worst. Shaggy is Phlegmatic (Green Shirt) is the Non Action Guy who runs from anything spooky, and is only there to react to the situations. Fred is Melancholic as he is obessessive (when it comes to traps) and emotionally high strung (when Daphne is in danger). He wears... white, rather than black, kinda crashes that color coded bit.
* ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' has Odd the Sanguine, Aelita the Supine, [[Birds of a Feather|Yumi and Ulrich]] are Melancholic and Jeremie is Phelgmatic
* ''[[Teen Titans (Animation)|Teen Titans]]'': Robin is choleric; Starfire and Beast Boy are sanguine; Cyborg is choleric/melancholic; Raven is melancholic/phlegmatic.
* To quote the ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' theme song: Leonardo leads (Phlegmatic); Donatello does machines (Melancholic); Raphael is cool, but crude (Choleric); Michaelangelo is a party dude (Sanguine).
* The four main kids on ''[[Hey Arnold]]'': Arnold himself is somewhere between Phlegmatic Type II and straight Phlegmatic; Helga is Choleric; Gerald is Sanguine; and Phoebe is both Melancholic and Supine.
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'':
** Twilight Sparkle is Melancholic (introverted, organized, and has high expectations)
** Applejack is Choleric (extroverted, confident, and stubborn)
Line 591:
** The boys: Carlos is Sanguine, Ralphie is Choleric, Tim is Melancholic, and Arnold is Phlegmatic.
** The girls: Wanda is Sanguine, Keesha is Choleric, Dorothy Ann is Melancholic, and Phoebe is Phlegmatic.
* ''[[Batman: theThe Animated Series (Animation)|The New Batman Adventures]]'': Though they rarely all worked together in the same episode, there was still a four-person "bat family." Robin (Tim Drake) is Sanguine. Nightwing (Dick Grayson) is Choleric. Batman is Melancholic (as if it had to be said; he basically defines the temperament) and Batgirl is Phlegmatic. Catwoman was the back-up Choleric; in one episode, she and Nightwing even team up because of their similar personalities.
* ''[[The Simpsons (Animation)|The Simpsons]]'': Homer is Choleric, Marge is Melancholic, Bart is Sanguine, Lisa is Phlegmatic, and Maggie is Phlegmatic II.
** The regulars at Moe's Tavern: Homer is Choleric, Barney is Sanguine, Lenny is Phelgmatic, and Carl is Melancholic.

* ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'': Buster is phlegmatic, Babs is choleric, Plucky is sanguine, and Hampton is melancholic/supine.
* ''[[The Legend of Korra (Animation)|The Legend of Korra]]'' has this with it's main characters: [[Hot Blooded]] Korra is Choleric [[The Charmer]] Bolin is Sanguine, [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]] Mako is Melancholic, while [[Uptown Girl]] Asami is Phlegmatic.
* ''[[Storm Hawks]]'': Aerrow is choleric, Finn is sanguine, Piper is phlegmatic, Junko is supine and Stork is melancholic.
