Character Archetypes

One thing I *LOVED* about the MMORPG City of Heroes was its archetype system. Every hero can be classified in these terms (rather loosely!)

Archetypes:
Tankers are characterized by, you guessed it, sheer moxxy and toughness (Cyborg!)

Scrappers are characterized by highly developed combat skill (Robin! Beast Boy!)

Blasters are defined by their ranged and melee offensive wrath, but not so much by their ability to take a hit (Starfire!)

Controllers are characterized by potent abilities to support their team and weaken their foes, but usually little 'combat skill' to speak of (Martian Manhunter)

Defenders are characterized by potent support powers to protect their team, and decent combat power to back them up. (Raven)

Brutes live for the fray, and as the fight wears on they only get angrier... A balance of 'tanking' and 'scrapping (The Hulk)

Masterminds may or may not have powers, but they are defined by their use of elaborate plots, devilish devices, and/or armies of minions (Lex Luthor, Slade)

So! Based on this stuff, how would you classify YOUR characters, and their rogues?

...what about that time Starfire took a nuke to the face. xD but I get your point.

Blake, Tex, and Ravager are all Scrappers

Yang is a Brute, easily. Kind of invincible against certain enemies.

And Izzy...probably a cross between Defender and Controller since she was a Star Sapphire (Violet Lantern)

Sounds good.

Hugh Exley/Pix is a mastermind - you had him at elaborate, always working some ulterior angle.

Vernon Antis/Scapegoat is a defender - his ability to exchange places makes for an impressive bodyguard.

Caesar/Monkey C is a mastermind - minions aplenty, many a goal on the go, rarely has to scrap.

Onyekachi/Kishi is a brute? - not certain about this one, but Onyekachi packs a wallop and is definitely first into the fray.

Hotwire: Controller. He's the best definition of this. If his opponents have a big scary robot, he can shut it down. Doomsday weaponry is no biggie for him, because he can control it.

Steampunk: Mastermind. He runs a criminal group with plans to revert the world back to an age of steam... he's got to be a decent enough planner.

Hotwire's Rogues:

Yarnmaster: He's a mixture of Mastermind and Controller. He can upkeep his minions and subdue his enemies with his constructs, while he does very little fighting himself.

Yarnmaster.

JaK & Elysium - Scrappers. Both are highly trained and skilled.

Spider-Girl -  Mastermind. While having powers, she beat most enemies by combining powers and gadgets

Ben 10 - Tanker! - Has an alien for every situation. Hard to beat a guy like that.

Teen Lantern  - Blaster or Defender. TL Brings the artillery power in the form or blue constructs bombarding you.


Kale Salem AKA Brave - Brute.

Although, JaK could fit the brute category too. As the fight goes on they do too.

Meta is a brute.

Kane is a Scrapper.
