The Three Faces of Adam: Difference between revisions

Line 22:

* [[Axis Powers Hetalia]]: There are several possible combinations, and some of the most popular ones are:

** The Asians: South Korea (young, excitable, child-like Hunter), Japan (skilled fighter, mysterious Lord... with possible touches of Prophet in more mordern times), and China (Prophet - he's the eldest of the group, tries to "mother/"father" the group but fails). Thailand, Hong Kong and Macau's roles are undefined due to their personailities somewhat don't match, though Hong Kong can be seen as a Hunter and Macau as a mix of Lord and Prophet.

** The Axis: Italy (clumsy and [[Keet~~|Keetish~~]] Hunter), Germany ([[Perpetual Frowner]] Lord), and Japan ("[[Yamato Nadeshiko]]" Lord/Prophet)

** The Axis: Italy (clumsy and [[Keet]]ish Hunter), Germany ([[Perpetual Frowner]] Lord), and Japan ("[[Yamato Nadeshiko]]" Lord/Prophet)

** The Germanics: Prussia ([[Blood Knight]] Hunter), Germany (again, [[Perpetual Frowner]] Lord), and Austria ([[Team Dad]] Prophet).

** The Allies: America (energetic Hunter), England (grumpy Lord who in the end is [[Not So Above It All]]), France ([[Lovable Sex Maniac]] Prophet with possible [[Hidden Depths]]). Or alternatively: America (still energetic Hunter), France (lecherous but not fully shallow Lord who's go after [[Anything That Moves]]), England (still grumpy Prophet)

Line 65:

* Paul Atreides of ''[[Dune]]'' goes through all three phases as his character develops throughout the series.

** Apparently he goes at the rate of at least one face per novel, in terms of books 1-3, of course.

* The Faith of the Seven in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' has both [[The Three Faces of Adam]] and [[The Hecate Sisters]] along with the [[Grim Reaper|The Stranger]] as the seven faces of God. Specifically The Warrior is the Hunter, the Father is The Lord, and the Smith is the Prophet.

* The Faith of the Seven in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' has both The Three Faces of Adam and [[The Hecate Sisters]] along with the [[Grim Reaper|The Stranger]] as the seven faces of God. Specifically The Warrior is the Hunter, the Father is The Lord, and the Smith is the Prophet.

** Additionally, the series initially gives us Jon Snow as the Hunter, Eddard Stark as the Lord and Jeor Mormont as the Prophet. However, by the end of Book III, {{spoiler|Eddard and Mormont are dead, and Jon has graduated to The Lord. It remains to be seen whether anyone will take the others' places}}.

* In ''[[Harry Potter]]'', Harry is the Hunter, Dumbledore is the Prophet, and Snape is the Lord. The Ministers of Magic seen in the series are Hunter Fudge, Lord Scrimgour and Prophet Thicknesse.

Line 73:

* In ''[[The Iliad]]'' and ''The Odyssey'' there are three sets: Achilles (Hunter), Agamemnon (Lord), and Nestor (Prophet) for the Greeks; Paris (Hunter), Hector (Lord), and Priam (Prophet) for the Trojans; Telemachos (Hunter), Odysseus (Lord), and Laertes (Prophet) in Ithaca.

* ''[[Prydain Chronicles]]'': Among those who live at Caer Dallben, there is Taran (Hunter), Coll (Lord), Dallben (Prophet). There are doubtless other examples throughout the series.

* The ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]] novels somehow manage to rack up three versions of Fitz. One [[Older Than They Look|seems to be]] about 18, and... well, his defining character trait is basically being confused and in a sulk all the time. Sure sounds like a typical teenager to me. The normal version of Fitz, who the other versions are copies of, is 27 when he's first introduced, and about 34 by the end of the novels, but never does seem to actually mature and settle down to the point he's actually like the Lord archetype. Kind of hard to get established in the world living in the TARDIS. He does become noticeably more mature as the series progresses, though, to the point he functions as a bit of a [[Team Mom]]. And then there's a version of him which is very old and bitter and sad and a villain by way of [[Love Makes You Evil]] ~~-- Fitz~~ cares about the Doctor an awful lot, the Doctor ditches him someplace, and this version of him couldn't find the Doctor for over a thousand years... so they don't fit the archetypes very well, but they're a teenage, thirtyish, and extremely old version of the same guy, all existing independently.

* The Brotherhood of the King in ''[[Chronicles of Magravandias]]'': the warrior (hunter), the magus (lord), and the bard (prophet).
