Splitting Role into Role and Occupation

Before I add the Occupation role, I think we should define what we want in the "role" section. Personally, this is what I'm feeling:

1. Main Protagonist (Hero, Mayor, Mari, Jowee, Mike, Heather, Aly)
   1. Characters that are with us for the majority of a game.
2. Main Antagonist (Wilfre, Circi, Aldark)
   1. Characters that oppose us for the majority of a game.
3. Side Protagonist (Isaac, Crazy Barks, Rose, Miles, Miney, Bruce, etc.)
   1. Characters that are with us for a major chunk of a game (just Beach Gate, just Watersong, etc.)
4. Side Antagonist (Salem, Robosa(?), S.P.U.D., Arrogance, Furious)
   1. Characters that oppose us for a major chunk of a game (just Beach Gate, just Watersong, etc.)
5. Minor Character (Unagi, Dr. Cure, Robespierre, Rocko, Kamalah, Mr. Esow, etc.)
   1. Characters that have multiple lines in the story of a game but no major importance / Characters with Story Imagination Battles not in other categories
6. Villager (Generics, Veronique, Ellen, Hoaka, Willy Martinez, Kone, Bonkles, Shork, Carrier Robot, etc.)
   1. Characters with no story relevance in any game

We could also have this split per game, so Farmer Brown could look like:

• Side Protagonist (In DTL and Wii)
• Minor Character (In TNC and TR)

and Dr. Cure could look like:

• Minor Character (In DTL and TNC)
• Villager (In TR)

There's probably better ways to phrase the labels, but what do y'all think? GuyThatExists (talk) 21:25, 20 February 2025 (EST)

I think this overall looks good!

Though I wonder what a character like Sock would be labeled as? Side Antagonist seems to fit best I think? He's kinda like Circi in the sense he's a twist bad guy, but he's not as active as a bad guy compared to her, wilfre, or even Salem.

Would just one of these labels work for him do you think? BreGee (talk) 19:05, 21 February 2025 (EST)

I would say that we could have two role labels. I think for a character like Circi, Side Protagonist and Main Antagonist both work, since she fills both roles. Sock could also do that with Main Protaonist and Side Antagonist. GuyThatExists (talk) 20:14, 21 February 2025 (EST)
