It seams to be a trope that has no purpose other than being a dropping point for mixed types that don't have there own trope page, and it has little to no examples for each of these mixed types. I'm not sure what should be done here but this page seams out of place.

Yeah, I am not sure if there is a trope here. At the very least, I think this should be sent back to YKTTW. I feel like some of the mixed archetypes could be tropes of their own, but I think it is rather unorthodox to list examples like that without a real trope description.

I agree. There's no telling how old it is, but really, it's just saying "Hey, didja know you can combine archetypes? Really, you can!" If there are enough examples of any particular combination, it should be a character trope on its own. Otherwise it's simply playing one from column A and one from Column B with the Archetypes index.

Bumping to add support for the idea to cutting.

I support cutting as well. This isn't really a thing.

Eugh, this is Writing 101 stuff. It might not be so bad if it was mentioned in, say, a book about how to write fiction (and given the one or two sentences it merits, rather than half a page). Completely pointless as a trope, though.

Supporting a cut.

Adding a crowner to cut based on the page and discussion.

Doesn't seem to serve any purpose. Cut.

There has been a request to lock the page due to inaction. If you wish to reopen the discussion please holler.
