Types I like:
1) The Cool Villain who has a Kick-*ss Weapon and knopws his/her style of fighting and has a More Reasonable Plot other than the old "Destroy the World" Thing.
2) Hero who isn't an Emo or most likely he is NOT like this "Chosen One to Banish Evil" thing... He is just normal except doesn't realize his true potential =P
3) The girl who says "I Don't Need a Man to Protect Me" style. That is quiet, enigmatic and she has great Powers, and at the Bitter end, sacrifices herself to save the Hero from Something big.
4) A Cool Wizard who always gives Advice and is Kind and Noble, Kinda like "Gandalf" from LotR.
5) The Hero's Friend with a Cool and Funny Actitude (Not Annoying) And ends up sacrificing himself too at the End to save his Friend.
6) The Strong, Quiet, Handsome Swordsman who has an Enigmatic past.
7) The Character who Drinks a lot and gets into Trouble and has an Obsession with "Treasure".
The Baddiest who just doesn't quit no matter how many times they fail but you enjoy them because they're darn Funny xD
9) A Heroine who seem Innocent but has a "Rough Personality" of hitting the Hero's Best Friend @_e (Think Kagura of Fruit Basket(Thou I don't think anyone has seen it >_<))
10) The Character with "I Am Gonna Kick Yer *$$" Phrase and always beats up a huge Army, and considers himself as the "Strongest".
11) Etc...etc...etc...
