The Main



The franchise mains them because even though they lack any special abilities, they can still hold their ground against a high tier.

The one the story focuses on more than anyone else in it. They might be the person the franchise is named after because of how main they are. They're the head of the Main Cast, as they are of the franchise as a whole (only if they can double as the Mascot), and are usually seen as a little more "important" than everyone else, meaning the other characters in the Main Cast don't have as much screen time or background as The Main.

The Main is, as made obvious by their title, the main character, so we see life through their eyes the most. We see them through their day-to-day life, at school or work, and out in the community interacting with the Secondaries. But even though the Main is likely the most important character of the franchise, they barely win. Their rivals and friends usually get the good things in life, like money and reputation, while the Main gets lost far behind everyone else.

The gist of the franchise the Main is in can be what their life is like, including where they live, who they're living there with, what they want out of life, and what every day of their life is like. The Main is rarely ever depicted being above many people in wealth and power, being an Everyman the audience could easily relate to, even if the Main has a job the audience likely doesn't themselves such as the head of a company that just barely gets by or the Principal of a high school.

The age of the Main can vary greatly, from young child to old person. If they're a kid, the franchise will most likely be about their life at school and their friends (or lack thereof). They don't get the best grades in the class, but they're doing better than the Failure Student for sure. The Main will usually be bullied by, who else, the Bully and will try their best to not fight back, but if they do, they're in for a Karma for Retaliation plot.

The Main is not as morally adjusted as those around them. They might act cruel to villainous degrees to some characters, some not even Bullies would try to reach. The Main may be a Hater Of Good, meaning they'll be hostile towards the Saintundefined to no end. Since the Main can't be as good as the Hero, their adventurous counterpart, sometimes, that's what the Better Friend is for: steering them in the right direction and to neutralize whatever evil-like deeds they want to put to action in order to to harm others.

The Main is rarely ever rich and might even have some times when they're financially struggling. If the Main is the owner of a business, they may get few customers or not as many customers in comparison to other local businesses they compete with. It's common for business- main taining Mains to have a rival who bests them almost all the time in the business world.

UnTask Description
As the Main, you're the leading character in a non-adventurous story such as a TV show, book, or movie. Whatever story you're in will give you the most focus, meaning that your life will have the most depth to it out of anyone else in the franchise along with anyone else in the Main Cast who's especially close to you like your best friend or lover. Since you're the non-adventurous version of a Hero, you must go through many bad situations in your life, some that appear to be inescapable problems that can only end with you losing.

''The Main is built to be the truest Everyman (yet not necessarily a Relatable) in fiction, being a fictional person everyone in the audience could connect to in at least a few ways. As a result, their Strength, Intelligence, Influence, and Reputation are all perfectly average, with each stat being scored at 5 points. This is paired up with the Main's lack of notable talents, which delivers a somewhat unfortunate reduction to their Skill. However, as who can fulfill the role of Main can greatly differ between franchises and genres, all of the Main's at-least-average stats are offset by their Repeat also being graded lowly, preventing them from falling into a lower tier. The Main's stats tell the story of a role who nearly went down a jack-of-all-trades path and humbly set aside higher stats in exchange for being a widely likable lead in their franchise's universe, which is what fittingly places them in the most average spot possible: mid C tier with an UnStat Average of 3.08.''
