The green cavalier: Abel, Alec, Lance, Sain, Kyle, Oscar

The red cavalier: Cain, Noish, Alan (FE6), Kent, Forde, Kieran

The green hair mage: Merric, Levin, Sety, Amid, Asvel, Lugh, Nino

The blonde prepromoted sniper: Jeorge, Brigid, Klein, Louise

Christmas knights:

FE2 Ruka and Alm MIGHT be considered as so...

FE4 Noish and Alec

FE5 Carrion(?) but I'm not sure of his counterpart.

Oh. You forgot the Gato archtype.

And the Julian archtype.

And the Gordon...

They're called Navarres actually.

Johan/Johalva to an extent.

Right but that's because Magic isn't categorized in FEDS, it all just falls under "tomes". Etzel is Sorcerer (the equivalent of Druid basically) and that's the only Magic class he has.

I know.

Only through the fact that they both use Axes and are brothers but those 2 fall under the Alan and Samsom archetype.

Does pegasus knights count as an archtype? They usually give you at least 3 in each game so you can perform triangle attacks.

Peg sisters maybe. I think it'd end up better in a "Sibling triangle attack" Archetype with the 3 FE RD brothers in it too.

Another one I remember...

Dragon Knight Traitor: Minerva, Althena, Zeiss, Miredy, Heath, Jill, Haar, Cormag.

The womanizer arch type - Alec, Saul, Sain

Surprised these two weren't mentioned yet.

Doga/Draug arch type (Armor unit who comes early to mid game) - Doga/Draug, Ardan, Dalsin, Bors, Oswin, Gilliam.

Blue haired lord arch type - Marth, Sigurd, Celice, Hector, Eirika, Ephraim, Ike

The overleveled, unpromoted unit that comes early in the game: Oswin (if you skip Lyn mode), Gatrie, Nolan

Overpowered character that can only be used in the final mission: Athos, Giffca, Tibarn, Naesala, Caineghis,

Lehran

Same/similar class characters that join at the same time where one of them has a huge level lead on the other: Marcus/Lowen, Titania/Oscar, Shinon/Rolf, Ranulf/Lyre, Elincia/Marcia, Geoffrey/Kieran/Makalov/Astrid

The Jeigan unit: Jeigan, Alan (FE3), Evyal, Dagda, Marcus

The Oifay unit: Oifay, Seth, Titania

Why are they two separate categories, and why do Eyvel and Dagdar count as a Jeigan archtype? Neither of them are a main lord's protector with a pony and similar personality. The 'Jeigan' characters would be the following.

Jeigan

Aran

Oifaye

Fin

Marcus (Old)

Marcus (Young)

Seth

Titania

Sirius Archetype (prepromoted late paladin with good stats and good for Endgame): Sirius, Percival, Geoffrey (FE9), Renning

Est Archetype (lategame unit that's underleveled and has good growths. May or may not be useful): Est, Nino, Ewan, Tormod, Sheema

Except Sirius joins extremely early, and Percival joins during mid-game.

FE9 Tormod or FE10 Tormod? Because FE9 Tormod isn't exactly very underleveled nor late-joining. Also, Sheema already comes as a prepromote and isn't underleveled, and Ewan has pretty mediocre growths.

Right. Guess "late" (Gotta play FE3 again >_>) was the wrong way to put it. Prepromoted Paladin with great base stats that makes a good candidate for endgame then?

FE10 Tormod. True that Sheema's promoted but she's still somewhat underleveled, comes quite late and has good growths.
