Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | A Dead Horse Trope which used to be common in adventure, mystery, and espionage fiction where the hero was an independently wealthy (or at least doesn't do much work for a living) "gentleman of leisure" whose adventures were initially motivated by a lust for adventure and hatred of idleness, even if the character ultimately acted for heroic/patriotic motives. It seems probable that the Rich Idiot With No Day Job is an outgrowth of this character type. Has some overlap with the Adventurer Archaeologist and Great White Hunter. Often ends up a Cool Old Guy and insists on wearing an overblown Adventurer Outfit. His Distaff Counterpart is the Lady of Adventure, and if he marries one you can expect a Battle Couple. |
