HERO is a person or character who, in the face of
danger and adversity or from a position of weakness, displays courage or self-sacrifice—that is, heroism—for some greater good; a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. Historically, the first heroes displayed courage or excellence as warriors. The word's meaning was later extended to include moral excellence.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero
01
In my own words: a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities.
My own example: Baymax is a healthcare robot. He is highly intelligent in the world of medics, devoted and is extremely caring for his patient.
a central character in a story, movie, or drama who lacks conventional heroic attributes.https://www.google.com.ph
02
In my own words: a main character in a book, play, movie, etc., who does not have the usual good qualities that are expected in a hero.
My own example: Tadashi is a good guy. He just is. He actually developed, built and programmed a state-of-the-art nursebot—a Healthcare Companion named Baymax that will likely help millions worldwide. But it's his role as big brother that makes Tadashi truly special. Every kid needs a guy like Tadashi looking out for him, and Hiro knows just how lucky he is to have him in his life.
TRAGIC HERO A tragic hero is a person of noble birth
with heroicor potentially heroic qualities. This person is fated by the Gods or by some supernatural force to doom and destruction or at least to great suffering.
https://www.google.com.ph
03
In my own words: The tragic hero is the man of innate nobleness who yet has some one defect that lays him open to ruin.
My own example: Tadashi Hamada is a brilliant inventor and the older brother of Hiro. Together, the two live with their aunt Cass in the beautiful city of San Fransokyo. Their parents died 10 years prior to the events of the film, growing up together in Cass' cafe and bakery.
2. Types of AntagonistsThere are five kinds of antagonists.
61. THE MAIN ANTAGONIST
2. THE NEMESIS3. THE SHAPE-SHIFTER4. THE CHANGE AGENT
5. THE ROMANTIC ANGLE

ANTAGONIST05
Mr. Robert Callaghan
Antagonist is a person who opposes a protagonist.https://www.google.com.ph
In my own words:a person who is opposed to, struggles against, or competes with another; opponent.
My own example: As the masked villain, Callaghan was taller, darker, with a brooding appearance that gave off an ominous aura. His face was covered by a red and white kabuki mask, which acted as his ultimate source of power and control over the Microbots. .
A change agent is a person from inside or outside the organization who helps an organization transform itself by focusing on such matters as organizational effectiveness, improvement, and development.
https://www.google.com.ph
In my own words: Change agents can be vital to struggling organizations, helping them get back on track by adapting to a changing environment.
My own example: To bring Yokai to justice (accomplished). To protect San Fransokyo.
a piece of writing telling of heroic or marvelous deeds, great ceremonies, etc., usually in a historical or imaginary settings.http://www.wordreference.com/definition/romance
In my own words: a romantic spirit, feeling, or quality.
My own example: Kryptonite was first introduced to the public in 1943 as a plot device to allow the radio serial voice actor, Bud Collyer, to take some time off.
3. Types of Support CharactersThere are six types of supporting characters.
61. THE SIDEKICK CHARACTER2. THE MENTOR CHARACTER
3. THE FOIL CHARACTER4. THE COMIC RELIEF
CHARACTER5. THE EXTRAS
6. THE CHORUS (e.g., Greek tragedy)

SIDEKICK10
BATMAN
a person's assistant or close associate, especially one who has less authority than that person.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sidekick
In my own words: A close companion or comrade. My own example: Batman has the ability to function under great
physical pain and to withstand telepathy and mind control. He is a master of disguise, multilingual, and an expert in espionage, often gathering information under the identity of Matches Malone, a notorious gangster.
In my own words: adviser or trainer. My own example: Professor Robert Callaghan heads up
the robotics program at the famous San Fransokyo Institute of Technology and is Tadashi's teacher and mentor. When Hiro visits the university for the first time, he is star-struck by the world-renowned roboticist—while Callaghan immediately sees the potential in the 14-year-old prodigy.
prevent (something considered wrong or undesirable) from success.
https://www.google.com.ph
In my own words: to prevent from attaining an end; defeat
My own example: Robin is a real boy, a superhero in the DC comics universe. Robin has long been a fixture in the Batman comic books as Batman's partner.
Comic relief is the inclusion of a humorous character, scene, or witty dialogue in an otherwise serious work, often to relieve tension.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_relief
In my own words: Comic relief usually means a releasing of emotional or other tension resulting from a comic episode interposed in the midst of serious or tragic elements in a drama.
My own example: Kronk is not just slapstick humor. The comic absurdity that he constantly finds himself in keeps the film light hearted and makes up for the somewhat boring main characters.

EXTRAS14
EXTRAS
a person engaged temporarily to fill out a scene in a movie or play, especially as one of a crowd.
https://www.google.com.ph
In my own words: a person or thing that is additional.
My own example: Plankton is much smaller than the other main characters; he is easily stepped on and/or sent flying back to the Chum Bucket with a mere flick of the finger.
In my own words: The chorus could act as narrator introducing and setting scenes and letting the audience know about off stage action.
My own example: Relating strongly to a character warms a certain little compartment of the heart and can make a reader or viewer feel at home, which is why wide representation is so important and also why we often end up with these weird and cringe-worthy cut-out ‘geek’ or ‘book loving’ heroes that fans are meant to empathise with.
4. Types of Character DevelopmentThere are two types of character development.
61. THE FLAT CHARACTER
2. THE ROUND CHARACTER

FLAT CHARACTER
16
COMIC RELIEF
Flat characters are two-dimensional in that they are relatively uncomplicated and do not change throughout the course of a work.
https://www.google.com.ph
In my own words: an easily recognized character type fiction.
My own example: The character had to be a charming, relaxed, European type (secret) agent. Among other things, the character had to express satisfaction (mild satisfied smiling), self-confidence, auto safety, trust. As for clothing, the character had to wear a perfectly styled black suit and a red necktie.
