RWA Archetypes
The RWA Story: RWA Man begins with a territory which he is both proud to have and grouches about its flaws (R000) then through castration (R010) and other things he subjugates the territory and has a fresh start (R111) with it in a do-over. Once again from the top, again and again and again.
whiny grousing (un)dead stomps and crushes you to make you grouse while worrying about feces and connecting with mommy in the womb of the void grave | castrator prevents growth |
idiot overcompensator is taken in hand and told what to do to earn steady promotions | compressor aka angel wing breaker joins the Klan |
vigilante kills (the good mood of) runaways eating up the night (klingons in space) while watching over the babes (wee bairns) cause _he'll be there_ | the subjugator has a fresh start after having been driven like a slave and getting a few masochistic little thrills |
fubar is last survivor avenging the dead and eating the living to survive, one or both in ecstatic pleasure | xenophobe voyages back to his shit home which he made using his own two hands and guts, failure is not an option because he is dead until he reclaims his life |
R000 stories are terrible. An aura of death and undeath clings to them, nothing could possibly live in their world. The protagonist describes everything as either Freak vs Not Freak. Mind you, R111 writes perfectly acceptable stories. And T000 writes facepalm cringeworthiness. And S000 writes complete cringeworthiness, and S101's are unreadable vomit. Battlefield Earth was more watchable than they're readable.
R100 Dobby the House Elf irons his ears whenever he fails. Armsmaster (Worm) spends time in the lab upgrading himself with cybernetics whenever he fails. Geordie LaForge got a visor that lets him see 10 times the human visual spectrum at the cost of constant headaches because he was born blind.
- 000 - "I am being punished!"
- 100 - "I punish myself for failure!"
- 101 - "I will punish you for being better than us"
- 001 - "I will punish you for making me last!"
- 010 - "I will prevent you from needing to be punished, and myself from being punished by you."
- 110 - "I will make it impossible for you to need to be punished."
- 111 - "I will punish you thoroughly whenever I deem you need it. You can start by punishing yourself and we'll move on from there."
011 - "You will not punish me with novelty!"
