Mistborn Archetypes

[Chinkoln he/him]

Does anyone know what character archetypes Brandon used in the original crew of Mistborn?

[Eternal Khol he/him]

i found a couple of them in some WoB's

 

 

"In order to write Mistborn the way I did, I also had to rely on the archetypes. My characters, for example, were very archetypal: The street urchin. The clever rogue who robs to do good. The idealistic young nobleman who wants to change the world."

 

"Two big influences for Kelsier. The first is, I wanted to do kind of the classic rogue archetype guy, but someone who had had something so fundamentally life-shaking in his life that he had to look deep within and become somebody else

 

 

[The Awakened Salad they/them]

Although it’s not exactly what you may be looking for, TvTropes also has a page listing some character tropes from Mistborn. It might be worth checking out
