A character who is ordinary enough to be relatable to the average audience member. Everyman characters are often working or middle class people with regular jobs and they deal with everyday problems, be it school, work, family or romance. They may also be plunged by chance into extraordinary circumstances, such as getting tangled up in a wild caper or adventure, which makes them even more sympathetic as they are in over their head. Everyman characters are not necessary blank slates but are typically more grounded and less wacky than supporting characters. When an Audience Surrogate, you may expect them to be: A default character for the audience to latch on to, as a sufficient blank slate that the audience will know we are "expected" to identify with said character; and love will come later. This can be useful in an unfamiliar setting; compare The Watson. As the story develops, this type of Everyman may devolve into an inoffensive Foil or Supporting Protagonist. The audience may find them harmlessly uninteresting, and latch onto the action hero, Ensemble Dark Horse, or villain instead. An empty vessel for the audience's hopes, dreams and aspirations. (Not to be confused with an Escapist Character who already possesses what the audience craves.) These are the sort of Everyman characters where each audience member is willing to imagine themselves in the character's shoes, with no apparent contradiction. This may lead to some complication when the author forces them to undergo some course of action that the audience, having already invested in the character, would not (at first) imagine themselves taking. If a leader, then they're a Standardized Leader. The video game version of this is a Heroic Mime in terms of plot, Jack of All Stats in terms of ability, and a Featureless Protagonist when taken to its extreme. In Dom Coms, the father is often an everyman, struggling just to maintain sanity in his family and keep it together through the zany schemes set up by the wife or kids. Not every character created with the intention of being The Everyman stays that way. If the writers think Viewers Are Morons, then this character can quickly devolve into a Loser Archetype, with the idea that this is how the average person acts. At this point, the character's message sort of devolves into telling viewers "This Loser Is You". Despite the name, everymen aren't Always Male but they usually are because Most Writers Are Male. See also Normal People, The Generic Guy, Vanilla Protagonist, and Unlucky Everydude. Ridiculously Average Guy is when this is taken to an extreme. Drop the Everyman into a fantasy setting and have him still act like everything is hunky-dory and you get the Unfazed Everyman. A character who starts out like this but later becomes a hero (or a villain) better fits the Unlikely Hero or From Nobody to Nightmare Tropes. Bonus points if his name is Mr. Smith. No relation to the popular Slender Man series EverymanHYBRID. Or the Reaper Bird's Assist Character. |

The original Freedom Fighters seemed to have evolved this way in Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics), likely to act as foils to Sonic and the more abrasive additions from the games. A lot of their shortcomings are rather subdued or down more to circumstance than having prominent personality defects, and while a lot have unique abilities, they are played in a more realistic manner than their super powered comrades. This is less prominent in earlier issues and the coinciding TV show, where they have goofier, more prominant personality defects, but they still had visible shades of this at times. | |

Hawkeye has been portrayed this way relative to the rest of the Marvel Universe, given that he has no powers and no super-genius/super-heart to make him special. A lot of his conflicts deal more with relationships, disability, and personal/financial issues than with supervillains. Still, the comics reestablish his uniqueness from time to time. | |

The Simpsons: Homer Simpson started as one of these — fat, lazy, under-educated, struggling to make ends meet, loyal to his family even when they were a perceived cause for his misfortune, etc. As the series went on and Flanderization seeped in, however, more and more absurd things happened to Homer and he became such a colossal Idiot Houdini that one episode ("Homer's Enemy") centered around one Logical Latecomer (Frank Grimes, the titular "enemy") getting pissed off about this. | |

Kazuma Kiryu, despite all appearances, is the most 'normal' person in most of the Like a Dragon games, reacting to every bonkers scenario with utter seriousness, and offering to help out (and start sidequests) every time. This allows him to fight Yakuza, manage hostesses, buy real estate, buy porn for children, defend a Michael Hackson's music video shoot, sing karaoke, or train a woman to be a dominatrix. | |

Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies: In the "Three Bears" series, Papa Bear will often try to come across as an Every Bear, mixing it with Only Sane Man. Averted, of course, through his ill temperament, emotional issues and Junyer's bumbling. Several latter-day Elmer Fudd cartoons place the hunter into "everyman" roles, in satirical cartoons on such things as dog-master relationships. Even though he is anything but average and relatable in intellect, he is still the most conventionally acting out of the ensemble. Sylvester the Cat has also been cast as Every Cat, particularly when paired with Sylvester Jr where he tries to pass common wisdom to his son. He also often interacts with other felines in a typical way, displaying familiarity with social conventions. |

While he is incredibly smart and comes from a well off family note though his father bankrupting them later puts them squarely in the middle class Tim Drake takes this position in the Batfamily by being comparatively average when compared to Bruce, the other four Bat-kids and even his own girlfriend, who is the daughter of a villain. He also dealt with a lot of regular family and school drama in his ongoing. Tim was also the everyman of Young Justice, where his teammates included a demi-god, a telekinetic half-Kryptonian, a speedster from the future, a second generation hero trained by her mother, and a teleporting psychopomp with precognition. | |

Shinji Kido of Kamen Rider Ryuki is clearly the most ordinary protagonist of the entire Kamen Rider franchise; to a point, it can be said that his most remarkable trait is how very average he is. Unlike other protagonist who were either very skillful or intelligent men, had special abilities, a tragic past that define them, a (personal) connection to their enemies or some other quirks that made them abnormal. Shinji is a completely ordinary journalist who just happened to find an Advent Deck during an investigation, and as a result became Kamen Rider Ryuki and fights against the Mirror Monsters threatening people's lives, while trying to find out the truth of the Rider War. His lack of special skills is even reflected in his rider form which is a Jack of All Stats and has little to no true advantages against other riders. This was also his only form during the first half of the series which contradicts him with every other Heisei Kamen Rider, who usually have another one or several forms accessible during a fightnote unless you count blank form. | |

Chief O'Brien from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. He's the only Starfleet non-com who gets to be a main character, his main desire is to get through his workday and go home to his wife and children, and the writers enjoy making him suffer every so often (in what they call "O'Brien Must Suffer" episodes) because audiences will sympathize with him. | |

Kaidan Alenko from Mass Effect and Jacob Taylor from Mass Effect 2 both stand out as ordinary in their Dysfunction Junction crews. They still have somewhat tragic personal backstories like most teammates, but are too emotionally well-adjusted for it to produce any meaningful conflict aside from Jacob's loyalty mission (where he basically has to be provoked by Miranda into cleaning up his own personal baggage). | |

Wikus, the "protagonist" of District 9 is a deconstruction of this trope. Whether he's a Punch-Clock Villain, Idiot Hero, or Jerkass Woobie is entirely up to interpretation. Ultimately, he reacts to extreme circumstances (that demand heroism) just as you'd expect an average nerdy professional bureaucrat thrust into a dangerous and unpredictable environment: poorly. | |

Max Rockatansky is the closest to a 'basic' human being in the Mad Max series. He has no weird costumes, no deformities, no tattoos, no fancy hairstyle or color, no gimmick, even his car is pretty basic compared to the crazy roadsters or giant flamethrowing trucks that the series is famous for. He is also a bit of a Decoy Protagonist, as the other characters are the ones who contribute more to the resolution of the plots, and he often has to be dragged along. | |

The Night Room has an Ensemble Cast, but the most prominent of these is Ira, who has a much more "average" relationship to school and parents who are remarkable in the series for only being a little kooky instead of abusive, dead, geniuses, or generally absent. | |

Charlie Collins from the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Joker's Favor" fits the description to a T, and that was the whole point. The fact that the Joker would spend two years keeping track of this poor guy only to find him and sadistically hold him up to a promise later, even though it didn't benefit him in the least, only serves to show what a monster he is. | |

Rufus and Amberley in The Dreamstone for the line of work they had, were portrayed as rather normal acting kids who usually handle their jobs in a rather uneventful and conflictless manner until the Urpneys break the normality of things. Less prominent in earlier episodes where they are slightly wackier and brattier (something that actually cost Rufus at least three everyman jobs beforehand). | |

Lee Everett, the player character of The Walking Dead: Season One. Having grown up in Atlanta Georgia and helped run his parents store alongside his brother, he's more or less just a guy from a poor neighborhood. His normal life gets turned on its head after accidentally killing of a State Senator whom his wife cheated with. This results in him sent to prison with a life sentence, but the police car taking him there gets interrupted by a Zombie Apocalypse. | |

Charlie Brown. You can't help but identify with him.

Big the Cat plays this role for the Sonic the Hedgehog series. In contrast to how the series' universe is usually a fast-paced Fantasy Kitchen Sink, and how most of its cast are particularly action-oriented or goal-driven, Big stands out as just a simple guy who takes it easy, likes to fish, and gives a helping hand when he can, without any real concern about the crazier stuff going on in his world so long as the people he cares about are okay. | |

Peter Parker/Spider-Man is often held up as the epitome of this within superhero comics, and possibly the key to the franchise success. Admittedly, he's not a strict example, as he's consistently portrayed as responsible, hardworking, highly intelligent, and when the going gets tough, a wiseass. However, compare him to his contemporaries: he's the average working stiff where the others include super-scientists, a millionaire playboy, an idolized war hero, and a god. Some writers (Joe Quesada especially) tend to turn this into This Loser Is You. He fills the role so perfectly, many other attempts to make an Everyman superhero wind up compared to him. | |

Most of the perspective characters from Stranger Things are Everymen. What is interesting is that many of them are based on the Everymen from other famous genre films, books, or TV series. Mike Wheeler is based on protagonists like Elliot, Billy Peltzer, and Mikey Walsh. His sister Nancy is based on Nancy Thompson from A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). Jim Hopper the police chief is based on Chief Brody Joyce Byers is based on the likes of Diane Freeling, Wendy Torrance, and Roy Neary. |

Many of the Doctor's companions from Doctor Who. Mickey Smith and Rory Williams are both very deliberately ordinary people whose girlfriends become the Doctor's companions and end up crushing on him. A great deal is made of the contrast between the ordinary, happy life they could offer, and the adventurous, extraordinary one the Doctor provides. In Mickey's case, he is somewhat unceremoniously dumped in favour of the Doctor, with Rory, the episode "Amy's Choice" makes it clear that, despite her zigzagging feelings for both of them, if it came down to a choice between the two she'd choose an ordinary life with Rory. |

The Wire: The cast is chock full of these, to the point where it would be safe to say that 75% of the show's characters are everymen/women. One of the main attractions of the show was that every viewer had at least one (but probably more than that) character they could easily identify with. | |

Dave in Maniac Mansion. He's Sandy's boyfriend, but other than that, he's pretty much just an Everyman. And while the other six characters can play an instrument (Syd/Razor), fix radios and/or telephones (Bernard/Jeff, although Jeff can only fix telephones), develop rolls of film (Michael), and proofread manuscripts (Wendy), Dave has no abilities or talents at all. Sadly, since he's the also the lead character, he's also the only one you can't NOT choose. | |

The Everyman most famous to the average person would probably be Mickey Mouse. Most early animation characters fit into this trope, for that matter — such as Bosko, Felix the Cat, Porky Pig, etc. Goofy became this in the Fifties, starring as George Geef, with a son, a wife, and increased intelligence (though not much). In Aquamania he's even referred to as "Mr. X." He's mostly went back to his more famous personality since. |

Bazil Broketail: Despite his impressive war record, Relkin's consistently portrayed as an ordinary young man and professional soldier just doing his job, with no particular skills in any area. That is, until his dormant magic abilities are unlocked. Lampshaded in the final book when a fellow dragonboy shows surprise after Relkin introduces himself.

Robinson Crusoe: Robinson himself is supposed to be an average Englishman from late 17th century stranded on an uninhabited island. He has no particular set of skills nor character traits (at least for his epoche), yet is able to hold on his own for two decades. Not to mention his adventures before he got shipwrecked. | |

Dr. Watson fills this role in the Sherlock Holmes stories. He does have certain distinct personality traits, such as his eye for attractive women (how unusual), but in many other ways he reflects the typical Victorian citizen who read Arthur Conan Doyle's stories when they were first published, bridging the gap between the readers and the otherwise eccentric Holmes. | |

Kamala Khan a.k.a. Ms Marvel has been repeatedly described as the true successor to Spider-Man for the millennial age. She's dorky, connected to the internet, constantly being underestimated by her conservative family for being unruly, ultimately wants to do some good in the world, and is a fan of all the heroes who have come before her. A huge part of her appeal also comes from the fact that she is a Pakistani-Muslim girl, reflecting the broader inclusion of different races, religions, and genders in the modern world. Her immediate group of non-superhero friends are also from a diverse range of races and religions, and one of them is even a lesbian. |

Several of the survivor characters in the Left 4 Dead series fall into the everyman trope: Louis works at the IT department of an electronics store and plays video games. Other than going to a gun rage on his lunch breaks, Louis doesn't do anything else out of the ordinary. Zoey is a college student whose parents are separated. She's a huge fan of zombie films as well, but nothing else stands out about her. Coach is a high school health teacher whose knees were injured from college football in his younger days. Ellis is a mechanic who occasionally plays in a band with his buddies during his downtime. Rochelle is an assistant for the local news and that's all that stands out about her. |

Captain America, in his Steve Rogers not-so Secret Identity anyway. Interestingly, he was originally a washed-up art student, to deliberately draw parallels to Adolf Hitler. | |

The Muppets: Kermit the Frog is a mild-mannered character who has to deal with the craziness of his supporting cast. Of course, as he himself points out to one of the guests, he hired everyone else, so he's not sure what that says about him. | |
