7 arch types

Use a search Engine to find the defining characteristics of the following archetypes and fill in the blanks. For extra credits, Fill in the characters from a story that you know.

Archetype Defining Characteristics In Star Wars IV In ??
Hero Unusual circumstances of birth; sometimes in danger or born into royalty
Leaves family or land and lives with others
An event, sometimes traumatic, leads to adventure or quest
Hero has a special weapon only he can wield
Hero always has supernatural help
The Hero must prove himself many times while on adventure
The Journey and the Unhealable Wound
Hero experiences atonement with the father
When the hero dies, he is rewarded spiritually Luke
Neo The MAtrix

Simba the lion king
Mentor usually a crusty old man who guides the hero. Obi-wan Timone and pumba, morpheus
Threshold Guard he threshold guardian is the first obstacle to the hero in his journey Stormtroopers hyenas
Herald The role of the herald is to announce the challenge which begins the hero on his story journey. The herald is the person or piece of information which upsets the sleepy equilibrium in which the hero has lived and starts the adventure. R2-D2 The oracle
Shapeshifter The shapeshifter changes role or personality, often in significant ways, and is hard to understand. That very changeability is the essence of this archetype. The shapeshifter's alliances and loyalty are uncertain, and the
sincerity of his claims is often questionable. This keeps the hero off guard. Leia ghost in modern warfare 2
Shadow The shadow often takes the form of the antagonist in a story. But not all antagonists are villains; sometimes the antagonist is a good guy whose goals disagree with the protagonist's. If the antagonist is a villain, though, he's a shadow. Darth Vader Mr. SMith, Scar
Trickster    The trickster can be an ally or companion of the hero, or may work for the villain. In some instances the trickster may even be the hero or villain. In any role, the trickster usually represents the force of cunning, and is pitted against opponents who are stronger or more powerful. Han Solo locki in the son of the mask
