Heroic Archtype


Heroic archtyepes describItalice the hero of the story. Being brave and bold, loving and sweet all the way to self loathing and scared. There are many deferent types of heroes, and these archtypes go with them like peanut butter and jelly. Every person is his (or her) own hero, and thus every person has their own archtype. And finding which one suits you is just the begining. Now There are many different types of heroes, defining who they are and what they're fighting for. Because of my buldging bisceps and gigantic, muscular thighs I am the hero as warrior. I'm a near god-like hero, and I happen to be facing physical challenges and external enenmies. No I jest, I jest! I am the Transcendent hero, of course my fatal blows do not come near those of such heros as The Crow, or others like Oedipus Rex, a man who killed the king and married his queen. Only to find out that the king was his father, and the queen his mother, upon finding out he ripped out his eyes and I believe killed himself. No my trivial conquests come no where near to that extreme. Mine normaly end up somthing like, a mistake or joke, perhaps I'm acting too weird, and somehow it ends up starting things and losing friends. But in the end it all proves a lesson. I clearly remember one time my own prcrastination caused me to fail a paper! In the very class! I learned that if I want to pass I have to kick it in to high gear. I'm sure there are many more tiny situation where I have no one to blame but myself, but right now I cannot seem to recall. Huh.

My Foolish Errand



A quest, a journey, an errand and many other words that mean the exact same thing. Everyone's journey is as unique as the actualy hero type it's self. My quest is set in stone, I am to be the fool. Simple as that, well while being the fool I have a quest. Mine is simple and somewhat elegant. Maybe, in a sense it's a tiny bit elegant. Well, not really. My quest is to find the holly grail and slay at least one dragon in my life-time. No I'm kidding again, maybe I should be more serious about this? Oh well, my fool's errand is to become a comic artist. I want to write and draw my own comics, but that's only step one of the plan. I'm going to go to some well known art college and get a masters in comic art, while of course taking other classes like digital coloring, and canvas prints. But I would also like to be a author, I'm writing my own stories and I need to work on editing them. Hopefully one will be published by next year, but those are high hopes. The way to hope ove the obsticles blocking my way to triumph over evil is simple. Finish school, with great englishs classes. (Needed for both of my careers.) Go to art college and talk to publishers for my books, that's right books as in multiple stories. You should be proud I can actually write anything Mrs. Vaughn? I hope you are, I pretty much have my life planned out, and that is my quest and I'm on my foolish errand. And one day maybe Steph Meyer will be my best friend. But that's a big step; who knows?

My Own Obi Wan Kenobi

The mentor; the person who starts the hero up, the teacher. He (or she) teaches his (or her) aprentice everything they know, in hopes that they too will be a great hero. But in Obi Wan Kenobi's case his young padawan turned to the dark side and became Darth Vader. Everyone has a mentor, weither they are aware of it or not is their own doing, and that mentor is there constantly. Even if passed away, see Star Wars people, you will get my jokes then. My own mentor could be my parents, they have taught me everything, and I am greatful for that. But I believe the mentor has to be someone not related to you. Someone who takes you on without request and lets you under their wing. For that I have many mentors, my every day teachers, who teach everything to me, without them I would not know anything. Sure some of them might not get along with me that well, but they still continue to deal with me, and I learn everything I need to know. (You know full well who you are, teachers who dislike my loud behavior.) And just like Obi Wan and Anakin, you set me up for my own choice, weither I follow your teachings or not that is up to me. Hopefully you'll never have to burn my flesh off in a huge volcano. Because that would not be too pleasant for either of us. The gift I have recieved from my mentors is not flunking out of high school. (It is only my first year.) But the gift continues, I have passed every grade so far, and none of them have yet failed me.So I must have very good teachers, for which my parents are greatful for.

The Early Villian






You all know the early villian, the 'Threshold Guardian'. The one who starts out as your 'arch-enemy' and then you guys end up being best friends forever? Yeah, the best example I get is Poke'mon's Gary Oak. You all know him, you might hate him, but I sure don't. Ash's first day and child hood enemy Gary Oak has a car full of Poke'mon and women. Already starting his adventures, but within the tenth season Gary is all like "Oh, Ash I cannot possibly catch the Poke'mon without you!" And Ash says, "Sure Gary I mean we are friends now, and everything." BAM! Friendship, he started out being the harcore villian that Ash was sure to defeat in Poke'mon battles, but he always lost. This gave him his drive to continue. The person who is most like this to me wold be my very own sister. At the very begining of our sisterhood it was a constant struggle for attention. It often lead to fists fights and all out war fare, and if you know my imagine my sister. A full on force of indestructible power and pure anger. But that was way back then, now I can honestly say I wouldn't know what to do without her. She's my favorite person in the world, and I wouldn't trade her in for anything! She's my best friend and like Gary and Ash we no longer have strange drawn out Poke'mon battles. I mean that would be weird.

A Thick Mass


Shadow, the thing the Hero of the story would like to eliminate. The one thing Stopping him from eternal glory, the main villian. Heman's Skeletor, Batman's Joker, King Leonidas and the Spartans had the Persians. The antagonist; the badguy. The main reason the hero is there, and without him there would be no hero, without the antagonist there'd be no reason for the hero. Without 'Bangbabies' there would be no Static Shock. The only real thing that makes the hero the hero, is the badguy. Sure the little guys along the way would get him some credit, but there will be no eternal glory without the downfall of this shadow. That could range from a person, to an animal to an inner conflict within the hero himself. The villian is there to maim and destroy life and the people who enjoy that life. And the protagonist is there to simply defeat him. There is no deeper thinking beyond that fact, otherwise the hero loses and he goes down as a failur. But that spot is usually reserved for the villians. Think Retro cartoon Batman, he and the Joker had multiple incounters, talking, fighting, defeating. Thus went the pattern for every other Batman villian, there was no losing for the B-man. That wasn't an option. And if the hero did lose there was no enternal glory, no girl of his dreams, there was nothing. And believe me no one's got it all, but for the hero he couldn't afford to lose. It starts out that the hero most likely will not know the villian. When He begins his adventures is when he truly meets the shadow. And currently I have not met my villian, I haven't found that looming shadow, that antagonist in my story. Sure I have found lesser evils along the way, but the main villian has yet to announce itself to me, heck it could be a Harvey Dent character. (In the Dark Night.) It starts out as a hero and ends up as a bitter force, focused on crushing the hero of the story. And unfortunatly the hero has to destroy his once friend. But my shadow is still lurking around, and I have no clue what it could be at this point in my story, I mean it is only the begining after all.

The Very Merry Bunch

My friends! Finally a lighter topic! The trickster in the story is the comic relief that the hero needs. Example Batman's Robin, The Green Arrow's Speedy. My group of friends are very close to me and we may get drama thrown at us (a lot) but I love them, and I'll be there for them!
I've been the shoulder they cried on, and I will continue to be, even after high school, when I'm famous. Ahem.

The following Ladies are Maelene, Gabbi and Jasmine!


We are like Robin Hood's band of merry men, ehem women.
I never, ever want to see these girls sad and they brighten my day more than anything. Gabbi I've known for forever, and even if we weren't friends at the time, I'm glad we are now! Maelene is my Wifey/Wifu. Whenever times are hard we go to Vegas and get married all over again! Hahaha, who needs boys when you have a fabulous set of friends?! We all have the same interests and we all look like dorks half of the time, but hey, who cares? Jasmine is the sweetest girl I know, and we've known eachother ofr a while, but now I think we're totally cool with each other. Right? Right Jasmine? Hahah! I bet she thinks I'm so weird but oh well, she thinks that about Gabbi too. (I have other friends who I love, but I've known them longer. I should have like ten pages to talk about all of my friends! Kelsey, Lauren, Luke, Marker, and many more!) I love these girls and we have pacts like, "Hey if you see him coming down the hallway make a bird call so I know he's there and I can run the other way." And somehow we managed to spend one hundred and thirty eight dollars, and forty cents! At TGI Fridays! What? I know, it was tragic, but well worth it. "Hey why was our waitress so slow, I wanted a hot guy! He looks like Roxas, you know if he was real." Hahah! I love them, and Hopefully they took a bunch of pictures of Akon or I'm going to have to punch them! Here's looking at you Gabbi! Of course when compared to these ladies, I'm the sidekick, because they're all amazing! And you know what? I don't mind it one bit.

Characteristic Numero Uno


This part confuses me, and I have asked about it. I think I just talk about my adventures so far, like this is what I have been doing and this is what I'm going to do stuff. The hero meets monsters or monstrous men, and of course I am the hero so my monsters would most likely be myself. I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. I am my greatest weakness, always self consious, always second guessing myself and I'm always guilty. Not to mention I feel like I have to be someone perfect and please everyone else, or I've failed. So basically I'm Atlas, move too far and the world falls, I can't put it down, and while I'm thinking of a way to get away I'm slowly losing all feeling in my back. Soon my back will snap, and I might break my neck and die. It's an all lose situation, and no matter what I'll lose. And whenever something is about me people seem to think it's always about me and I feel worse. More so than I already did, I am my biggest monster, and I am the thing I will have to overcome. But sometimes that just seems so... impossible. I just seem so impossible to me.
