History Fanfic / Archetypal

... Wait, come again?

* ActionizedAdaptation: ''The Loud House'' is primarily a comedy-driven SliceOfLife show. ''Archetypal'', while having SliceOfLife elements, also has a much greater showcase of action as a SuperFic.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Lincoln. As if being the seemingly ''only'' normal member of the [[BadassFamily Loud family]] wasn't bad enough, he gets a unique Archetype that brings him only trouble, especially since its name alone makes him sound like a hopeless pervert.
** Sid also gets this, to a lower extent, thanks to her Assassin Archetype.
* AdaptationalBadass: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] by anybody who gets the [[UnSorcerer Bystander]] Archetype, which is damn near everybody, but PlayedStraight by anybody who gets any other Archetype, who gain superpowers based on said Archetype.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Lincoln wanted more than anything in the world for his Archetype to be anything but Bystander. [[ExactWords He got something other than that, alright]]...

* BlessedWithSuck: Even if your one of the few who doesn't a Bystander archetype, that doesn't mean you're guaranteed an Archetype with any actual powers [[note]]Chandler for example is a Minion, whose power is that he has to do whatever anyone with a strong enough will tells him to do[[/note]], or you can get an Archetype that defines what career you will have in the future even against your desires[[note]] Luan hates her Archetype and would much rather be a comedian, but because shes an exorcist she ''has'' to help people with hauntings instead of making them laugh. While Agnes Johnson implies that whatever she wanted to be as a kid, a teacher wasn't it.[[/note]]

* CatUpATree: Part of Lori's patrol during chapter 3 involves helping a cat get down of a tree. The fact CatsAreMean is ''right above'' this trope, it doesn't go smoothly.

* OhCrap: Lisa has an understated reaction when she tells Lynn about Lincoln's Archetype and the fighter realizes this means she could potentially have a sparring partner very soon.

* ThePowerOfLove: For Lincoln's power to work with anyone he needs to have a suitably strong bond with them. If this requirement isn't met, either nothing would happen (as shown in his failed attempt to 'Genre Shift' with Stella) or just have a pastische of the shared Archetype with [[InvertedTrope none of]] [[PowerIncontinence the power]] (when he initially does with Luan to use her Excorsit abilities but only getting a fitting costume).

* {{Sidekick}}: When Lori learns about Lincoln's 'Genre Shift' ability and realizes it would mean Lincoln could be a superhero like her if he 'Genre Shift's with her, she starts to like the idea of him side-kicking with her.
** While helping Leni out Chandler mistakes him for Leni's sidekick.

* SuperEmpowering: Lincoln's Archetypes's primary usage is to let him power up others he shares a strong bond with.

* ShoutOut: The initial premise, the main character going to a school to find out their destined role only for the protagonist to be given one that turns them into a pariah is similar to ''LightNovel/DemonKingDaimao''.

* DeathBySex: Carol's dad died from a shattered pelvis at the hands of his Amazon wives when trying to give their daughter a little sister.
** Lori worries about the same thing happening to any partner she might have because of her own super strength.

** It's even worse if your it's sub-type, spectator. Which takes the unremarkably of a bystander UpToEleven and effectively turns the person into part of the scenery and makes them all but unnoticed by anybody else.

** When taking Lincoln on patrol, Lori mentions having a sidekick named "Jason" who's named after a certain [[Characters/Batman:JasonTodd Boy Wonder]]. Even getting kidnapped by a supervillain and having a [[ComicBook/ADeathintheFamily voting poll to determine his fate]] is eerily similar.

* WitchSpecies: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. "Witch" is one of the many Archetypes one can be born with, but they're not identified as a different species from the other Archetypes. Funnily enough, it's the "Amazon" Archetype that works like this trope, or is starting to. One of the side effects of it is that it's wielders give birth [[OneGenderRace disproportionately if not exclusively to more girls]], the world governments have given them their own island so as to not have to accommodate their various quirks, and the environmental pressures of building a land and culture of their own has made it so that with each new generation the daughters of Amazons are more likely to become Amazons when they mature, meaning the whole Archetype a rapidly developing into a self-perpetuating genetic branch point.

* RealityEnsues: Lincoln's very unfortunately named Archetype causes him the exact sort of grief you would expect. Almost everybody assumes he's either a little pervert trying to build a harem or that his power will brainwash their daughters into loving him. Turning him into a social pariah and almost gets him kicked out of the academy before he even attends.
** Chandler's Archetype 'Minion' forces him to do whatever anybody with a stronger will tells him to do. When Lincoln orders him to say his actual name, Chandler says what he 'thinks' Lincoln's name is. The archetype can only force him to do things he's able to do, and since he genuinely doesn't know Lincoln's real name he can't tell him.
* SafeZoneHopeSpot: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. [[spoiler: It's eventually revealed that the Royal Woods Mall, one of the safe zones against the [[ZombieApocalypse Husks]], has become a breeding ground for them ever since it was declared as such.]] As [[spoiler: Fiona]] points out, [[RealityEnsues because it was declared safe zone, nobody bothered to run patrols in there, meaning that there was nobody to keep them at bay]].

* RealityEnsues: A BB-gun is still considered a weapon, and even if it was Archetype compulsion or no she still assaulted another student. Sid is given detention for shooting Lincoln in the butt.

* NotHyperbole: The battle of the band's Luna and Sam competed in was a literal brawl as well as music contest.

** As Luan is explaining to her friends Lincoln used to scare himself with ghost stories when he was little so he couldn't go to bed. So she would go with him and tell jokes to make him laugh till she fell asleep. While it caused her to realize she loved making people laugh, banishing her brothers ''ghosts'' so he could rest easy appear to have caused her to develop the exorcist archetype.
* PlayingHouse: In a flashback, it's shown that Lincoln would frequently play this with Luna and Sam when they were younger, and they always insisted that he be the husband to both of them. In fact the girls took were a little more invested in the game than normal since the game also involved leaving the house to pretend to go house hunting or have him pretend to do joint tax forms with them.

** Carol's dad died from [[Recap/FuturamaS3E1AmazonWomenInTheMood snu snu]]. The difference being they were his wives and they weren't 'trying' to kill him when it happened.

* PersonalityPowers: Lisa is developing a theory that Archetypes develop based on personalities, rather than the other way around. For example, while questioning Lori about the emergence of her 'superhero' archetype, she notes that her eldest seemed to develop her powers around the time Lincoln played superheroes with her when they were younger.

* HandWave: In response to people asking where Clyde was for the entire story, the second chapter of Archetyplets explains that he was right there beside Lincoln the entire time, his his Archetype 'Spectator' archetype [[{{Unperson}} makes him so ordinary that nobody even realizes that he exists]].

[[{{Archetype}} Archetypes]]. Superpowers given to people at birth by words written on their soul.

* HaremGenre: While the story as a whole is a superhero story, there are shades of this genre in it as well, especially when taking Lincoln's Archetype into account.

* DomainHolder: It is possible for someone with the Teacher archetype to build up so much mastery or authority in it that they become a mild RealityWarper while within their designated classroom, make their orders psychically compulsive to their students, and temporarily give themselves powers related to a lesson they are giving. Ms. Johnson openly admits it’s the one perk of having it, and implies that most “job title” archetypes have similar potential.

* InstrumentofMurder: Sam’s guitar is revealed to have a built-in sheath for a sword.

* MusicalAssassin: Luna and Sam are revealed to have an Archetype named “Battle Idol”. Their music draws in nearby Husks, they have superhuman combat capability as long as their weapons and attacks are incorporated into their instruments and routines, and Luna at least can make her guitar slam out a [[SonicStunner Power Chord]].

* PowerStereotypeFlip: Invoked. Chandler is a Minion, so he’s physically compelled to do anything anyone with a strong enough will orders him to. He’s also a bullying blowhard that never lets anyone get a word in edge-wise as, in part [[HadToBeSharp to prevent anyone from figuring him out and taking him for a ride.]] He also comes from a high-status family, which increases the danger to him.

* WitchSpecies: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. "Witch" is one of the many Archetypes one can be born with, but they're not identified as a different species from the other Archetypes. Funnily enough, it’s the "Amazon" Archetype that works like this trope, or is starting to. One of the side effects of it is that it’s wielders give birth [[OneGenderRace disproportionately if not exclusively to more girls]], the world governments have given them their own island so as to not have to accommodate their various quirks, and the environmental pressures of building a land and culture of their own has made it so that with each new generation the daughters of Amazons are more likely to become Amazons when they mature, meaning the whole Archetype a rapidly developing into a self-perpetuating genetic branch point.
