Character Stereotypes

Bishonen Stereotypes

Notes:
Characters of each type are loosely related by both appearance and personality.
(Not all of my original characters can be described by others.)
For example; Although Damien could be considered "Serious and Silent" type,
he more commonly looks mad or irritated than sad. His personality is also more arrogant. Of course, some characters fall under multiple stereotypes as well. Such as Edward, who is both "Androgynous" in appearance and personified as a "Sweet, Shy and Sensitive" type.

•Androgynous Bishonen
Characters of this type: Edward

•Boyish Hot and Hyperactive Bishonen
Characters of this type: Koh

•Boyish Cute and Cocky Bishonen
Characters of this type: None

•Boyish Sweet, Sensitive and Shy Bishonen
Characters of this type: Kuja, Yun, Edward

•Badass Ravishing and Reckless Bishonen
Characters of this type: Raef

•Badass Serious and Silent Bishonen
Characters of this type: Damien

•Badass Vain Villian Bishonen
Characters of this type: Nijeru

I may or may not add more to this, but it was just a test for development and comparisons.

Heian Period of Japan

Heian period (平安時代, Heian jidai) Lasted from 794 to 1185.
It is the last division of classical Japanese history.

Heian (平安?) means "peace and tranquility" in Japanese.
Named after the capital city of Heian-kyō, or modern Kyōto.

It is the period when Buddhism, Taoism and other Chinese influences were at their height. It is also considered to be the peak of the Japanese imperial court and noted for its art, especially poetry and literature. Although the Imperial House of Japan had power on the surface, the real power was in the hands of the Fujiwara clan, a powerful aristocratic family who had intermarried with the Emperor of Japan.
