Horror Movie Tropes and Dead By Daylight Characters. Let's Do This.
So I love horror movies and I thought it would be fun in categorising the DBD survivors into the classic horror movie tropes. So the categories to place the survivors are:
- Jock
- Nerd/Smart One
- Comic Relief/Fool
- Sex bomb/Freak
- Final Guy/Girl
Survivors can be in multi categories if you wish.
My list:
Jock: David King, Meg Thomas, Steve Harrington, Yui Kimura
Nerd/Smart One: Dwight Fairfield, Claudette Morel, Feng Min, David Tapp, Adam Francis, Nancy Wheeler, Bill Overbeck
Comic Relief/Fool: Ash Williams, Steve Harrington, Ace Visconti, Jeff Johansen, Dwight Fairfield
Sex Bomb/Freak: David King, Steve Harrington, Kate Denson, Jane Romero, Quentin Smith, Feng Min, Laurie Strode
Final guy/girl: Bill Overbeck, Nea Karlsson, Jake Park, David King, Laurie Strode, Yui Kimura
What is your list? :)

Quentin is 100% either a Nerd trope or a Final Boy trope. He keeps to himself so he definitely wouldn't try to be a sex bomb 😂.
Nerd: Dwight, Claudette, Feng, Quentin, Tapp, Adam, Nancy
Jock: Meg, David, Steve
Comic relief: Dwight, Ace, Jeff, Ash, Steve
Sex Bomb: Feng, David, Kate, Jane, Steve, Yui
Final Boy/Girl: Jake, Nea, Laurie, Bill, Quentin, Ash, Nancy, Steve

Yes. I support this 100%. I feel like Jake would also make it to the end, he might not survive but he would be one of the last people.

Not to be racist, but "Black character does first" for Tapp and Adam. Not in lore, but in game. Claudette honourable mention.
Again, just a joke. No racism involved.
If nobody has heard of this trope, shame on you. You are not a true horror fan.

I mostly agree but Tapp is a jock and quentin is not a sex bomb

Ace is the type of guy to go "You go on ahead, I'm gonna check that shack over there for a flashlight", but doesn't come back for a while, worrying the rest of the group.
A few hours later he comes back with 4 flashlights, extra batteries, and snacks.
