I should've known that's what you were talking about, but for some reason I thought maybe it was a superhero or something! ^.^<br />It's a fantastic book and one of my most favourites, but might be boring to you. It's Biblical Fiction, about Rahab/the Wall of Jericho. :)Raechelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845190071944799602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219594873450855214.post-2875691556390914622017-05-27T15:03:25.219-07:002017-05-27T15:03:25.219-07:00Well I was thinking that it would fit since salmon...Well I was thinking that it would fit since salmons swim upstream and don't give up.<br />Yeah I've never read that book (until now I didn't even know it existed, or at lest I can't remember it) Marrok Macintyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04209344267823649773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219594873450855214.post-72606107807086778352017-05-27T05:23:44.357-07:002017-05-27T05:23:44.357-07:00Haha, yeah, I don't know if I've seen a to...Haha, yeah, I don't know if I've seen a ton of my idealist protagonist, but I think I've read some. Gotta ask though, who's the Salmon? Cuz, actually funny enough, a character that I think fits my fav protagonist is named Salmone, but I know that's not who you're talking about because I highly doubt you've read "Pearl in the Sand" by Tessa Afshar. ^.^Raechelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845190071944799602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219594873450855214.post-41365465005184818562017-05-22T17:12:33.492-07:002017-05-22T17:12:33.492-07:00Thanks Raechel!

Outside of this list, my faovurite male protagonist would probably be the strong, silent ones that have a past but are willing to overcome it with a realistic but good attitude. Not sure what I'd name that type.

Especially when people just copy. But that sounds like quite a fun protagonist (can't wait to see him!)<br /><br />I think the sarcastic can fall under the Smiling. :D Thanks AudreyMarrok Macintyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04209344267823649773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219594873450855214.post-36358665821955306382017-05-19T17:32:38.856-07:002017-05-19T17:32:38.856-07:00Monster and Wounded Animal Protagonists all day lo...Monster and Wounded Animal Protagonists all day long xD Some can be a little over done, but when you kinda twist them together, and maybe add a dash of the Smiling Protagonist... then you've got something! I personally have one like that (he's actually a main character, but not *the* protagonist). <br /><br />And I think there should be a subcategory for sarcastic protagonists, because those are my favorites xD<br /><br />Great post!<br /><br /><a href="http://audreycaylin.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">audrey caylin</a>Audrey Caylinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113941859200338215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219594873450855214.post-71949012072303164482017-05-19T16:34:45.877-07:002017-05-19T16:34:45.877-07:00Thanks!

I hope you enjoy your time on this blog!<br /><br />That's cool! Yeah that Hopeful Protagonist can be a very nice one indeed. I think it's cool to have a Wounded Animal and a Hopeful protagonist in the same story. If done right I think they make a great match.Marrok Macintyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04209344267823649773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219594873450855214.post-85343245433804748912017-05-19T01:11:14.567-07:002017-05-19T01:11:14.567-07:00My favorite would probably be the Monster Protagon...My favorite would probably be the Monster Protagonist, but the Wounded Animal Protagonist would be a very close second. I also enjoy a combination of the two. One of my characters is actually a combination, mostly Wounded Animal but there is Monster there too. He's also my favorite. :)<br /><br />Great post!

While reading your description, I realized some of my own characters fell into that category. <br /><br />But I think my favourite would have to be the Hopeful Protagonist, or something along those lines. When the character has been through so much already, knows there's more (and worse) things to come, wants (and needs) a break, and still pushes forward, with his eye on the target.

Aaahhh yes the "perfect" Character, I have to say I don't come across them every often (or at lest in the stuff I read). But yeah I can see how that kind of character can be enjoyable.<br /><br />I guess Jace could if the Wounded Animal, But I was thinking about the Hulk. Much of his backstory hasn't been shown in the movies but I think he is a pretty good combination of Wounded Animal and Monster.<br /><br />Why Thank you, I enjoyed discussing it as well! I know I say this a lot but I love hearing what others have to say about such subject even if we don't agree.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!

Quite a few of my favorite fictional characters fit into these two categories. :) Occasionally, though, I will read a book with a "perfect" character, a character who has had a solid past and always makes the right choices, and enjoy it because it's nice sometimes to read about a strong character who isn't torn by inner demons. <br /><br />I thought you were talking about Jace, actually, until you said his name started with an H. Who is it?<br /><br />Also, I thought the Doctor Strange post was fine, and I enjoyed discussing it. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
