So, just what is the Archetype Academy, and why does it have its own board?
The AA started as an inside joke between PrincessMojo and myself in our circle of friends at school. We assigned rather stale Original Characters to ourselves:
PrincessMojo - Emily "Emmo" Potter, Harry's half-sister; the Laziest Slytherin
Papgheez - "Voldemmo", daughter of Tom Riddle and Bellatrix Lestrange (yeesh), obviously not raised by her parents; a Gryffindor
Viola - The Oracle, somehow related to Sybil Trelawney
Lolua - (first name undetermined) Lupin, daughter of Remus and a random Muggle (?) woman
(jump in here, Emmo, if any of this is wrong!)
After it was determined that the conception and birth of Princess Mojo's character Emmo Potter was prompted by prophecy and the machinations of Lucius Malfoy, she became an alternate One to Harry. Voldemmo was her Nemesis (but a reluctant one), as Voldemort is to Harry, Viola's Oracle was the resident Seer, and I think I was mostly the Sidekick, more or less playing Hermione's role.
PrincessMojo, in her brilliance, came up with the idea for a school where she had to sit in class with other obnoxious people who were "The One," like her brother Harry and Anakin Skywalker and Neo, etc. She told made-up anecdotes characterizing their antics in class (we are quite fond of antics). We slowly added other classes for groups of stock characters, and it grew into a school. As I built the database of students' names on my computer, I called it "The Academy" and eventually, "The Archetype Academy."
So now here's where you come in... I'm going to post the names I have, and the criteria we've been working with. You get to come up with names from your own literary/TV/movie experiences, and add them to the list, giving a short summary of why they fit that category. Also, if you'd like to nominate new teachers, we'd be more than happy to shift some of them around if you're convincing enough.
Hope to see your posts soon!

. As for Emily Potter...well you forgot to mention how she actually came into existence and for not saying the entire story of the supposed conception I am eternally grateful...but feel the need to explain how a daughter of James Potter ended up in Slytherin...well it's because Narcissa Malfoy is apparently her mother. That is all I will say for now...for the rest is unclear and deals with the fact that Papgheez kept online AKing people and resurrecting my dear sidekick but bringing back dead Harry Potter people with her powers...
