@Schizophonia TeeHee. 

Definitely a lot of defiance, an "outcast-y" feel, questioning the status quo, along with a playful, childlike "jestery-ness." A goofy side while also embracing some familial responsibility as a caretaker and guardian! Sweet!

Class: Type: Description: Individuation | Class: Type: Description | Class: Type | Class
Meta-Class Synthesis | Story Charactogensis | Story before Personification | Source Intent

1 Protagonist - Flavor | 2 Antagonists - Inversion | 3 Mentors - Initiators | 4 Side Characters - Depth
5 Comic Relief - Tension Breakers | 6 Philosophers - Thematic Expansion | 7 Action - Progress
8 Magical - Nuance | 9 Outsiders - Perspective | 10 Visionaries - Direction | 11 Power - Lazerfocus
12 Outcasts - Injustice | 13 Deceptive - Realism | 14 Healers - Positivity
15 Neutral Observers - Objective POV | 16 Specialists - Unifiers/Extenders | 17 Love - Romanticism
18 Innocent - Idealism | 19 Unusual - Charmers | 20 Justice Seekers - Reform./Revol.
21 Contrarians - Grounders | 22 Everyman - Filler | 23 Peacemaker - E9s

Each character a motif explored through the interactive story like the holographic principle

1 + 2 + 4 = Main Conflict
2 + 3 + 6 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 16 + 20 = Thematic Exploration
7 + 11 + 12 + 17 + 18 = Motivational Expansion
5 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 19 + 21 + 22 + 23 = Support & Grounding

or something like that, Archetypes are dynamic circumstantial roles
And the author who writes the story is all its characters simultaneously
And I used to be every single one of them throughout my life

P.S. You missed out on "The Mad Scientist"

And you also forgot "the Hippie whose world was obliterated by universal false vacuum decay while he was floating in DMT space, and has now entered an alternate timeline where everything is just slightly off" archetype 😁
