Character Type: Gambler

Scott Myers

“Gamblers, a specific character type whose career, life, and personality is infused with a need, proclivity or instinct to take big risks. Often for money. Sometimes for fame. And other times, primarily for the rush it brings… despite or perhaps because of the danger involved.”

Gambler.

In a sense, every Protagonist is a ‘gambler’ in that they choose their standing in the Old World for what may or may not lie ahead in the New World. Even Nemesis figures will play the odds through the machinations of their plan to achieve their goal, generally in opposition with the Protagonist. In that match-up, there are winners… and there are losers. So a certain amount of gambling is implied in the characters’ decision-making process. That’s the plot of Zorba the Greek.

Ritrovate facendo pulizia. Tenute perché "non si sa mai". Risalgono agli anni 2000, quando avevo 18 anni e promisi a me stesso di passare da Win2k a #Linux. Non andò a buon fine. Quattro anni dopo passai a OS X.
Oggi, sfoglio quella del pinguino di nuovo con l'intento di passare dall'altra parte. Questa volta con più determinazione. Daje.

Character Type: Warrior

Scott Myers
“The keys to Warrior characters is to determine who they fight… how they fight… and why they fight.”

Warrior.

Naturally, the Warrior character type is about fighting, their stock-in-trade. But for whom do they fight? How? And most important… why?
There is the lone Warrior who is called upon to fight on behalf of victims such as Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981), Road House (1989), and Léon: The Professional (1994).
The Warrior character type is a natural fit for the role of Protagonist, but think about Mentor figures who have been trained in the way of fighting like Miyagi in The Karate Kid. Warriors make excellent Nemeses as well. Whereas Warriors associated with the Protagonist and his/her cause are generally going to be fighting for something other than themselves.
What other notable Warrior character types in movies can you suggest? gointothestory.blcklst.com/cha…
