An Archetypal Character that has not yet been classified by the psychological, anthropological or literary community Not to be confused with a stockcharacter though lesser examples may lose out flandering into an emerging stockcharacterization. For an archetype to truly be unknown examples of it must have started to appear in the past century previous examples might have existed but be lost to the ages. Note a characterization only counts as a true archetype if it arose from the collective subconciouses of humanity it does not count if it was written with intention or emulating something else. often occurs when the writers are just along for the ride, in a self negative trance or making things up as they go along.

Hello, Unknown Troper. You'll need to get known to lend a hand here.
- You are spamming YKTTW with proposals that are so confusingly written that no one can figure out what you're talking about.
- Your proposals don't appear to be tropes in the way that term is used here on TV Tropes.
- You haven't included any examples in either of your proposals, which raises the question of whether your proposed tropes even have any.
I strongly suggest you stop posting new proposals here until you:- Read YKTTW Guidelines, which tells you how to write YKTTW's.
- Read through other proposals on YKTTW and learn how to write them appropriately.
- Find at least three examples of your proposed trope(s) and include them in your initial post.
If you decide to ignore this message and continue posting new proposals without doing the above it is very likely that one of the tropers here will complain to the moderators and they will suspend you from participating in YKTTW.
