Female Fighter Archetypes


The (admittedly much shorter) female roster. These are characters I'd be willing to either play as or pit a Male Fighter against. The specifics on how a Male/Female match would ensue would, of course, depend on the setting and plot machinations we'd eventually come up with. It's 99% certain that I will reject requests for Female x Female matches.

THE BADASS ♥♥ ☠
➩An all-encompassing category for female Aces, Heroes, Seasoned Veterans and even Heels. These ladies have a reputation and are very good at what they do. They are seldom underestimated by male fighters, but chauvinism sometimes does end up happening... which almost always results in a man in serious trouble.

LUCKY DAME ♥♥♥ ☠
➩The Lucky Dame may be a Puny Little Girl, but she is usually a slightly more competent fighter. Slightly. These characters are a bit of a joke even to their female colleagues and will almost always provoke an amount of sexism if they are pitted against male fighters. Even a Jobber would be able to defeat them without breaking a sweat, after all. The thing is... more out of luck than anything, they have a tendency to rise to the occasion and beat the odds, seriously hurting or even defeating would-be Alpha Males.

MAGNIFICENT BITCH ♥♥♥♥ ☠
➩A female Defiler, mostly. Also, A Lucky Dame who relies on wickedness instead of luck. Magnificent Bitches may explore both a male fighter's inherent sexism and her own womanly charms to get their way. And they are very good at this.

ONE OF THE BOYS ♥ ☠
➩A fighter who checks all of the "Typically Masculine" boxes, but happens to be a lady. These characters may be Badasses or steer pretty close to any of the Male Fighter Archetypes.

PUNY LITTLE GIRL ♥♥ ☠
➩Even the most progressive of male fighters would have a hard time not being dismissive of one of these and they'd be right to do so. Female Jobbers, mostly, who wholly look the part with very typically "girly" appearances and personalities.
