I been thinking about this for a while. First with a the significant other of a hero without powers or a helping role, where we see their day to day life and how they feel insignificant next to the hero and all the action that take place away from them for the most. See different relations, ones where the hero over compensates for short-comings, one where they are toxic or even abuse panther in their. Mentors for heroes, who start the story with as mentors, mother/parents of heroes. Also when i mean full story, i don’t mean a single episode in a series or a poltline in a book, but a fully completed story centered around them alone.
some archs i thought of:
-the comedic relief -the powerhouse(usually written as dumb) -the villain(that is not just a serial killer) -the future seer/oracle
Feel free to add media/stories use the arch for the full stories
I want more Dune, and by that I mean I wanna see more “prophet assaulted by their visions and without a hopeful monotheistic background (in which God fills in for the lack of competence and faith in it keeps you going)/the potentially inhuman wisdom required to deal with them and do something positive with them”. The problem is that you don’t just have to be a competent writer to create something like that, but you also have to be cultured, existentialist/philosophical and genuinely bright, and that reduces the potential pool of writers to like 6 people worldwide at any given time. 😔🤷
