my archetypes

Which Heroic Archetype Are You?
Do-Gooder
Do-Gooder quiz
Some people know that doing good in the world is important. They wake up every morning, knowing that they’re going to do good things for others, and they go to bed at night, thinking about all of the things they’ve done. There are two main things about a do-gooder. They don’t always feel like they’re heroes, even though they try very hard to be. They often seek to overcome their own lack of confidence with the public praise or with the secret knowledge that they are better than others have perceived them to be. They are normal people. Sure, they might have super powers, but they get sick sometimes. They have jobs. They have relationship problems. They go to school. Somehow, they dedicate themselves to higher noble purposes. They find a way to to overcome obstacles that other people don’t, because they are determined and courageous, and they are all about self-improvement. 

Examples: Spider-Man, Luke Skywalker, Hermione Granger, Sam Gamgee, Ron Weasely
