do you know any good books, articles or web sites on archetypes? I did a google seach, and got a lot of hits. Since I'm just learning about archetypes, it's hard to tell the good from the bad.

I've been working on some original characters, and I was wondering if anyone else has any they'd like to share. You can go into as much detail as you want. I'm interested in what you have to say.

In which genre? I've got superheroes, spies (noir and futuristic), fantasy characters, starship crews...

FROSTFIRE: Formerly an officer with the Seattle PD, he was involved in chasing a supervillain through the high-energy physics labs at the University of Washington, when he was caught in an explosion in a temperature-control experiment (reproducing the atomic-laser effect, at near-absolute-zero temps). He emerged from the wreckage with the ability to fly, and to project temperature changes at range from the freezing point of oxygen to the melting point of steel. He can also create simple structures (walls, bridges, slides, etc) from ice. (His partner was blown into a gravitic-control experiment - now, as Mass, she possesses the ability to multiply her density, giving her enormous strength and near-invulnerability.)

BIG PHIL: A legendary swordsman, known by no other name. Big Phil is as big as a house, as strong as an ox, as healthy as a horse, as fast as a cat, and as smart as a box of rocks. The reason his full, true name is unknown, is because he can't remember it. His home village was destroyed by a raiding party when he was a child; he wants to devote his life to avenging his parents, but he has no idea who did it or how to find them.

poor, poor Big Phil,
The cool thing about Invictus's Fire/ Ice abilities is that he can make his fire manifests change instantly to ica and vice-versa, though Invictus cannot fly he's hearty enough to stand his ground against the strongest of foes.
Hmmm.... maybe I should explain the other two factions in my universe... >.>

When I was a lot younger and more innocent, my "then-best-friend" (fellow Aspie) and I started this book series called The Go Girl Show; I then expanded on that when we split up, and now I have my own mini-series (on my iPod) that I call The RGS Chronicles. I wonder if you'd be interested in hearing about the characters I made up for this little series or not?

The Faction of Power:
The Faction of Power has only one goal: to rule the entire world with an iron fist, there is only order through forced control and they will stop at nothing to achieve this goal, The entire faction is comprised of human beings, however the different groups that are the body of the faction are very diverse.

The Order of the Blade-
The very backbone of the human empire, specializing in the art of melee weapon combat, The elegant melee fighting style hase been refined and passed down from generation to generation for well over 300 years, Not to be taken lightly.

The Imperial Mage Guild-
The embodiment of decades of intense study and tradition, the Mage Guild is feared and revered for the skill of it's masters and pupils alike. their leader is as skilled and powerful as he is an enigma, Though the idea of world conquest is not exactly what the guild desires, they must follow the decisions of the emperor.

The "Iron Hell" Brigade-
The Brigade is actualy a team of thirty highly trained and revered mechanics who build gargantuan war machines for the empire, the monsters comprised of steel while steam pumps furiously through their veins are viewed at the perfect soldier, having no emotion, no free agency and will never be disloyal to it's master (Unless of course a very skilled individual removes the power source and replaces it with another wth different orders,)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Faction of Chaos:
The Faction of Chaos's name can be literally translated as the group of hooligans that likes to burn all in their path, by far the most diverse faction, the races involved in the faction never actually admit being allied, they ofen work together to achieve a higher goal. In the end, however, they will destroy each-other.

The Cursed:
The cused bear the appearance of the walking dead, though they ARE killable, their means of combat are normally neigh impossible to predict. Most of the soldiers in this faction are the resurected corpses of mighty warriors whom have been corrupted by evil.

The Filth:
A hive minded race of barbaric and monsterous creatures, who's foul stench and hedeous apearance gain them the upper-hand in a close-combat fight, They will do ANYTHING for their queen, even sacrifice their own bodies as armor for stronger warriors if she asked.

The Towers:
Hulking creatures created by humans, they are the result of expiriments to create the ultimate warriors, blood and oil rush through their veins as they charge into battle with utter adn complete hatred for the human race, Though they hate what they are: they maintain themselves and keep themselves alive as a reminder that n man may play God.

:3 I'm glad anyone took the time to read about my little armies, and I can write some segments in my blog by request! :3

The only decent character I dare to mention is my gay one. His name is Kyo (I named him after a guy in KoF), and I used him in a RP with my friend who loves yaoi. So yeah.

I have invented characters from numerous countries around the world over the years. My characters have been from Greece, England, Spain, the Ukraine, Finland and Ethiopia, to name a few. I suppose it is tied to my interest in the Olympics.
