A messianic archetype is a character whose role in the story echoes that of christ. They are usually portrayed as some sort of a saviour, whether they are saving the day or someone. They endure a sizeable sacrifice. A messiah will include one or more of the following:
- being the chosen one
- gaining a group of devoted followers
- persecution by non believers
- The initials JC
It is not expected that the character is religious.
This character will usually accompany a satanic archetype who takes on the role similar to satan.
