The Three Faces of Adam: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

** 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)

** The Mediterranean countries: Greece (sleepy and philosophical Hunter), Turkey (masked and [[Hot Blooded]] Lord), Egypt (serious, quiet Prophet)

** The Mediterranean countries: Greece (sleepy and philosophical Hunter), Turkey (masked and [[Hot-Blooded]] Lord), Egypt (serious, quiet Prophet)

** The Spanish Empire: South Italy ([[Tsundere]] Hunter as both Chibimano ''and'' Romano), Netherlands (Hunter -> Lord who was already seeking independence by the "Boss Spain" days), Spain (Lord -> Prophet as "Boss Spain").

** The Nordics: Iceland ([[Deadpan Snarker]] Hunter), Denmark ([[Boisterous Bruiser]] Lord), and Norway ([[Tsundere]] Prophet who keeps Denmark in line). Sweden and Finland have traits of the three and thus aren't as easy to "box".

* [[Rurouni Kenshin]] also has several of these trios:

** Yahiko ''and'' Sanosuke (Hunters), Kenshin and/or Aoshi (Lord), Hiko and Okina (Prophet)

** Sanosuke (Hunter: young, [[Hot Blooded]], [[Boisterous Bruiser]]), Kenshin and Saitou (Lords who have [[Seen It All]] and try to deal), Shishio (''Prophet'', via being a [[Badass]] [[Big Bad]] who seeks to make Japan a [[Warrior Heaven]])

** Sanosuke (Hunter: young, [[Hot-Blooded]], [[Boisterous Bruiser]]), Kenshin and Saitou (Lords who have [[Seen It All]] and try to deal), Shishio (''Prophet'', via being a [[Badass]] [[Big Bad]] who seeks to make Japan a [[Warrior Heaven]])

** Juppongatana version: Cho, Kamatari and Usui (Hunters), Soujiro and Anji (Lord), Shishio ("Prophet")

* [[The Prince of Tennis]]: Each team is a mix and match of the three archetypes. Captains and subcaptains tend to be Prophets, the youngest members (first and second years) are Hunters, and the other second-years and third years are Lords.

Line 73:

* In ''[[The Iliad (Literature)|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 (TV)|~~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 (Literature)|Chronicles of Magravandias]]'': the warrior (hunter), the magus (lord), and the bard (prophet).

Line 131:

** Lords: Sigurd, Jamuka, Alvis, Andorey, Shagall, Cuan, {{spoiler|Trabant}} (first generation); Shanan, {{spoiler|Yurius}}, Burian, Fin, Scorpio, Sety/Hawk, Areone (second generation).

** Prophets: Vylon, {{spoiler|Manfroy}}, Reptor, Ring, Langobalt (first generation); {{spoiler|Emperor}} Alvis, Danan, {{spoiler|Levin}}, Hannibal, Trabant (second generation).

* [[Assassin's Creed (Video Game)|Ezio Auditore]] takes on a different one of these with of his games. ''[[Assassin's Creed II (Video Game)|Assassin's Creed II]]'' has him as the Hunter (racing across Italy for revenge), ''[[Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (Video Game)|Assassin's Creed Brotherhood]]'' has him as the Lord (raising a group of Assassins and bringing the Renaissance to Rome) and ''[[Assassin's Creed Revelations (Video Game)|Assassin's Creed Revelations]]'' definitely has him showing heavy shades of the Prophet (embarking on a spiritual pilgrimage to Masyaf).
