Introducing the Character Classification System! Call us Sphaera. This system is intended to find patterns of behavior within characters across all different forms of media, and as a baseline for creatives to build new characters off of.

Hi I'm just curious, is this like a DID system blog?
Thank you for the ask!! Neither of us identify as part of a system and so we wouldn’t feel qualified implementing aspects of DID into the CCS. Our original thoughts behind making the CCS were about analyzing characters from pieces of media to explain their behavior in an easily digestible way. However, any systems or people with DID are welcome within our community!
Hey guys! We’ve posted our final class to the blog and are now moving onto bigger and brighter things. We’re going to utilize all the information we’ve posted to upload analyses classifying characters in media, and why we believe they fit the criteria of a certain class!
When we post these, feel absolutely free to disagree with us on our verdicts! Just be prepared to provide your reasoning, we’ll be sure to ask. If after mutual consultation and review we agree with your claims, we will add an addendum to the post clarifying our new view. Contrarily, if you’d like to provide further evidence / participate in the discussion for why the classification fits, once again, feel free! Also be sure to recommend some characters you would like us to analyze! We’re always looking for fun and interesting characters to break down and theorize about.
Our post schedule will be changing, too. It would be a near-impossible feat to get an analysis up every single day, so while our team remains this size we will bring down the posts to twice a week (Mondays and Fridays at 12pm EST)! Our first analysis will go up on the following Monday.
Now finally, for a little insight to the people behind this system! Currently, we are a team of two, but we’re always looking to expand our partnership to make a brighter future for CCS. Here are mini-profiles of how we would classify ourselves to shed some light on our personalities.
Apollo (he/him 🏳️⚧️)
Yellow-Dominant Courier
Adaptable. I’d say I’m a solid 5/10 in terms of adaptability. There’s a fifty-fifty chance when I go into a situation that I’ll be able to really thrive or straight up book it out of there. No in between.
Eccentric. My colleague says this should be higher but I disagree, I’m going with a 6/10 since I certainly have my moments but I’d die if I had to be “on” all the time.
Encouraging. While I like being the one who pushes someone to be their best self, I also don’t like the idea of asking others to perform above realistic capabilities so… 6/10.
Idealistic. This is definitely one of my higher ones. I live for the light at the end of the tunnel, the reason to keep moving forward. Easy 8/10.
Passionate. At my best I am quite a passionate individual, but like eccentricity it cannot be my every waking minute. I’d rank this slightly higher though, so I’ll settle on a 7/10.
Philosophical. Let’s philosophize right here, right now, I am so ready! Let’s get into the weeds, asking the big questions about whether God or anything for that matter is even real. I love understanding the underlying reasons and motivations behind why people do the things that they do, and more than anything I want to nail down what we’re really here to do. Self proclaimed but well deserved 10/10.
Related Characteristics:
Ambitious (from Captain).
Creative (from Artist).
Inquisitive (from Inventor).
Introspective (from Merchant).
Ash (he/him)
Green-Dominant Athlete
Bold. Perfect 10/10. If you wanna challenge it, come and face me. However, on a more realistic note, I like to take a lot of risks and jump into scenarios where other people may hesitate. It’s an ideal trait I’ve seen in many forms of media, and I aspire to use said boldness to help others to the best of my ability.
Capable. My ability to manage the situation and take control is something that has been forged into my very body from when I was young. I am the blade that will not quit in a fight. 8/10.
Disciplined. Apparently my colleague thinks I should rate this higher than I think I deserve. I'm lazy but I do follow a weekly routine and like to make a schedule. 6/10
Dynamic. While I love to be in motion and using my hands to do whatever, I do also love being lazy and in bed when I have nothing else to do. Action is my passion, but not being on the run is a lot of fun. 5/10.
Formidable. I’m only a 3/10. If you saw me in the streets, you would see the rats mugging me.
Keen. If this was One Piece, I’d specialize in Observational Haki. 9/10

Values: Experience, Direction, and Connection.

Purpose. To follow something which justifies your existence.
Common characteristics of the Courier include:
Adaptable. Couriers possess versatility; they acclimate themselves to their environment.
Eccentric. Couriers behave in peculiar yet intriguing ways.
Encouraging. Couriers inspire others through verbalization of support and understanding.
Idealistic. Couriers often want to find the light at the end of the tunnel, or the silver lining to a hard lesson; Sometimes this makes them see how things could be, as opposed to how things are.
Passionate. Couriers radiate energy when they are at their best.
Philosophical. Couriers are marked for their desire to discuss everything all at once, rather than the specifics at hand.
