Quran(33,21) Listen

Realmente en el Mensajero tenéis un hermoso ejemplo para quien tenga esperanza en Allah y en el Último Día y recuerde mucho a Allah.

Ey inananlar! And olsun ki, sizin için, Allah'a ve ahiret gününe kavuşmayı umanlar ve Allah'ı çok anan kimseler için Resulullah (Allah'ın Elçisi) en güzel örnektir

 یقیناً برای شما در زندگی رسول خدا سرمشق نیکویی است، برای آنان که به خدا و روز آخرت امید دارند، و خدا را بسیار یاد می کنند

 تم کو پیغمبر خدا کی پیروی (کرنی) بہتر ہے (یعنی) اس شخص کو جسے خدا (سے ملنے) اور روز قیامت (کے آنے) کی اُمید ہو اور وہ خدا کا ذکر کثرت سے کرتا ہو

Sesungguhnya telah ada pada (diri) Rasulullah itu suri teladan yang baik bagimu (yaitu) bagi orang yang mengharap (rahmat) Allah dan (kedatangan) hari kiamat dan dia banyak menyebut Allah

 যারা আল্লাহ ও শেষ দিবসের আশা রাখে এবং আল্লাহকে অধিক স্মরণ করে, তাদের জন্যে রসূলুল্লাহর মধ্যে উত্তম নমুনা রয়েছে।

 希望真主和末日，并且多多记念真主者，你们有使者可以作你们的优良模范。

Inner Beast Archetropy - An Interactive, Plural Archetropal Identity

Written from an "outsider"'s perspective.

Crowley joked about being my inner demon, and I said, "nah, that spot's taken".

There are certain concepts or subjects that one probably would not immediately think of as an identity, as many identities are thought of as an internal, personal experience. Some, however, do come from one's relation to other people. Archetropy, for example, some trope type does need interaction with others in order for one to properly embody them.

My own Bond Weaver archetrope is where I go and connect people, make yuan[1] happen. I have to interact with people to perform my archetropy. Yajuu is my inner demon, in a technical sort of speaking sense. It more specifically aligns itself with the Inner Beast archetrope. As one can imagine, this is largely a very uniquely plural sort of tropetype. The way Yajuu first came about was all very accidental, unintentional, and unexpected. Perhaps it decided I needed it, which I do. It was sort of daemon-like, and basically formed out of my rage and anger. I have a lot of it you see, even with Yajuu around, I still have more to give.

We don't really do roles, people kind of just slot into what they want or to find themselves end up doing. It's like, "Oh, the laundry needs to be done. I'm good at laundry/I have a free moment, lemme take care of that." Yajuu being big and beastly, well, sort of took up what the community would typically dub "gatekeeper". We just call it the Gate Guardian.

Talk about beastly, I'm sure readers have realized that really matches the whole Inner Beast vibe.

Yajuu, before it became Yajuu, was just The Beast. That was its name. Our names are all sort of like that, I'm (Yume) Ryuu[2], or translated, the (dream) dragon, Akumu (Ryuu) means nightmare (dragon). They are more descriptive titles when you translate them, but also our names.

When Akumu was pondering about the possibility of having a Sasuke hearttype, he mentioned Yajuu, Beast back then, had been contemplating about Kurama archetrope. Some time during all that, Beast got intrigued by the names of the bijuu/tailed beasts of the Naruto world. It wanted something similar.

We gone through a couple of different variations, combining ideas of Wild Beast and similar themes. We had at first settled on Yakaryuu, Wildling, beastly youkai dragon, 野の化け物の竜. Honestly, I thought it sounded great. But by itself, Yaka? Guess it's rather lacking. And really, our partner helped us brainstorm it, and we eventually ended on Yajuu, literally Beast. It is just a full circle. But it fit the theme of the Dream Dragons. I am the Dragon, Akumu is the Nightmare, and Yajuu is the Beast.

Now you see, layers upon layers of reinforcing the same identity of Yajuu being The Beast. And Kurama? He had been in that same position early on in the series of Naruto. Yajuu and I don't have that kind of antagonistic relationship. I love Yajuu, I adore all my fellow Dream Dragons. But Yajuu being The Beast Within is very on the nose and very much what it is. Kurama's trope of being an Inner Beast is adopted by Yajuu as its own archetrope, and Kurama himself is the Exemplar of such a trope.

[1] Yuan, or yuanfen. “Predestined bond through time” due to the culture it’s connected to. I use it outside of multi-lives business as well. A little bit I wrote on it here: The Concept of Yuanfen: "Predestined connection".

[2] Yume is highly feminine while Ryuu masculine. Course there are exceptions, but I grew into Ryuu for a long time now. More about the story of my name can be read here What is in a Name? The Origin of Ryuu

Pararchetrope -> Exemplar

So in my archetropy essays I've been using "patatrope" (from paratype) to mean "similar trope/archetype/motif" and "pararchetrope" to mean "character that feels like a paratype due to fitting an archetype".

But I'll be the first to admit "pararchetrope" is an awkward mouthful to pronounce, and I was hoping I or someone else might stumble onto something better.

How about the word "exemplar"? Even in it's completely mundane current meaning, it fits the bill. Something serving as an example or model of a particular concept.

To me, Pearl, Gawain and both Sir Carrots are exemplars of the paladin archetype, and thus activate archetrope feelings.
