Do you have a character archetype that you're drawn to?

[qzz]

Whenever I play an otome or any game that involves a LI I found myself wanting to romance a bully character whenever possible and I wonder if people are like this too... Many of my friends usually only go for visual aspects of a character, but I just can't help but have a very heavy personality preference. ALSO ALSO this follows me outside of media that involve dating too . i think I'm just a sucker for evil mean characters ummm #needselfreflection maybe.

TLDR; Do you have an archetype preference? If so what? If not why, and do you have another preference?

I do like nerdy, silent typa guys heheh. So for personality archetype on otome games I'd go for kuudere. Personal favorites among kuudere on otomes are Sakuya (Yoshiwara Higanbana), Zebenera (Matsurika), and ofc the classic otome kuudere: Kent (Amnesia)

and can i ask which otome LIs who bullies/teases the protagonist you meant (probably enemies to lovers trope)? i felt like i don't see much of them these days. could be because i love playing old games haha. some LIs that I've played and have this personality archetype is Akito (also from Yoshiwara) and Suren (Koezaru wa Akai Hana). maybe i also love this archetype since i love their banter with mc so much <3

Probably the easily flustered characters who have never talked to or touched a woman in their life

My friend pays attention to the appearance and dress of the characters, and the first impression determines the order of the strategy.

I attach importance to the connotation of characters. I don't have to be a good person or a righteous hero. He can be a "principled" bad guy: for example, he runs a business guild with a bad reputation, but he has his own set of principles and knows how to use his brain and flexible negotiation skills to achieve his goals, etc. Bad characters can also be very charming.

I don't really have one specific type, but I'm definitely drawn to characters with a sense of contrast or hidden depth. I love it when someone who seems perfect or distant at first gradually reveals a softer, shy, or more playful side as you get to know them.

On the other hand, I'm also attracted to cheerful, easygoing characters who turn out to have a strong sense of responsibility or deeply held convictions. I enjoy romance routes where these different sides of a character are revealed little by little, so I think I'm less interested in a character's archetype and more in whether they continue to surprise me and reveal new layers of themselves.

Nice to meet you. I love yandere characters with intense emotions, as well as characters who are very affectionate.

 

[Karoliuxx]

I like tsunderes and kuuderes, i love it when MCs make them blush. Also i like characters who are unapologetically in love with the main character and shows it.

 

[enren]

can i ask which otome LIs who bullies

Kakeru - Norn9 - comes to mind.
He's a bully to the core. Love him to bits.
It's not MC he bullies though <3

 

[enren]

I've always had a soft spot for characters who are hated by others, even the devs themselves. I love those that are all alone in the world, even more so when even their own mother/father/guardian never loved them.

 

[Kyouri]

Heavy/Yandere/Crazy any of that sort of flavor. xD

 

[Erille]

I like the cold icy type who become obsessed with MC when he falls in love.

 

[Sakata-sann]

I think I like 2D man in general now that I think about it xD but I tend to like more the effeminate LIs, the yandere type, the ones that are funny and silly and are never taken seriously (I forgot that I like this archetype so much, then I played Code: Realize and Impey stole my heart) and the strange mysterious ones, more if they seem detached from their surroundings.

 

[Banshee幻の燃料]

My type of guys are the shy, nerdy ones from TV shows, movies, or even celebrities (I'm looking at you, Mikey Way). However, when it came to animated or 2D comics, it was the complete opposite; that kind of archetype didn't appeal to me at all. It turned out I liked the opposite: cheerful and energetic characters. I played two SugarBeans games, and I can say that my two favorite characters were Evans from Ijiwaru My Master and Sena from Under the Moon. They were so adorable! TwT

 

[96usagi]

The tsundere (because I like them when they go "its not like I like you or anything" while blushing (ꈍᴗꈍ)♡) , osananajimi, haraguro, the onee-type guy and the flirty one but actually desperate when it comes to the heroine

The easier they blush, the more I want to snatch them up

 

[24ku]

I'm drawn to characters who come across as a bit rude or arrogant on the surface but love the MC passionately once they fall in love. That kind of character really makes my heart flutter.

 

[NoveiaVonGeorgia]

I answered this on a similar thread. But I'm so drawn to loser archetypes. They're so adorable and I want to put them on my pocket to keep them safe.

Loser List

• Lucas Sullivan - Mistonia's Delight
• Zaizen Eba - Club Suicide
• Noel Valmore - WOF
• Mitsumori Ichiya - VAriBAri

im trying to think of the best way to phrase this but for me it's lis who just kind of have bad awful personalities lmao like just characters who do not put on pretenses or try to be nice, sweet people when that's not what their inner core is like? that kind of blatant honesty in interacting with others authentically immediately gets to me cause then in my eyes they feel a lot more trustworthy ^^;;

i also deeply enjoy lis who have a teasing nature, whether it's friendly or done in a hurtful way both is good for me !!! i just love the kind of tension it creates hehe

[osanajimimi]

Chuunibyou boys! give me more of them! Pls pls

Also, the eccentric one, the failure boys, the ones not-so-loved by the fandom, but I ended up loving them

 

[scorpies]

i have a long list lol

sleepy, lazy guys. i also like the hyper type but that can be a miss for me sometimes
a bit gone in the head ones but not like classic randomly killing people type but something surprising. like

Spoiler

Kaguya from Taisho Alice

or maybe Ace Heart no Kuni no Alice. idk why i singled out Ace
the ones that make you go "what are you even talking about??" like Ichiya lol. for some reason i don't enjoy it as much when it is unintentional by writes
li that resembles an animal. i don't mean it physically though, more like their personality. like nayuta or shiraishi
nice and easygoing people but thats pretty basic
li that lowkey cannot do shit

i can't think of anything else rn

 

[usagi-k]

Wait.... is this Yang?!

omg WELL yang from the 1926 sequel definitely counts as one of my faves even though he wasnt my favourite in the original game lolol on the same scale it can be guys like adage from steam prison, jude from ikevil or miyabi from unlogical ^^

 

[heishoumao]

I really like the mean, high-and-mighty tsundere... Someone really, super cruel, but in a moe way. Someone you could be mutuals with on twitter, you know? lololol
