Athletes are people that play sports, anything from baseball to football to track and field. Athletes in video games typically give gamers a chance to hit that home run or kick the winning goal that normally would take years of training to do.
Every school has a king or queen. They might be a star athlete or just the coolest guy around, either way they're the most popular student at school.
Bookworms are the characters who always have their face buried between the pages of a book. It doesn't matter if it's a mystic spellbook or just a tattered paperback, they'd rather read about an epic adventure than have one.
A Prodigy is typically a young character who posses skills or intelligence far beyond their age. Some prodigies were born with this talent, while others had to work for it.
One of the age-old narrative structures in literature, in which a young protagonist faces conflict that transforms him or her into a mature adult. This is an especially common device in RPGs.
One or more events from someone's past that negatively affected them. Plenty of video game characters have such pasts.
A person under 18 committing minor crimes such as vandalizing public properties.
It's all in the family.
A game based on an anime.
A gang isn't just two crude dudes, it's a whole mess of them. There's all kinds of different gangs represented in games: street gangs, organized criminals, and even high school cliques.
A status of decreased cognition caused by a substance such as alcohol.
A widely popular music style, originating from a fusion of blues, R&B, country, and jazz. Includes sub-genres such as punk, heavy metal, synth rock, and pop rock, among others.
Characters that harbor their past even though it may be revealed later. They are commonly uncovered in a number of video games.
Those that attend a school seeking knowledge. In many video games (especially RPGs) students, most commonly high school students, are the protagonist of the game.
The act of taking one's own life.
A young woman or girl who is charmingly naive or unsophisticated, and generally very innocent and pure-hearted. How long she lasts and how well she holds onto her innocence are generally good ways of gauging how dark or cynical a work is.
Player characters that are infants, children, or adolescents.
