Dunno if I ever linked, but chase820 has two very interesting posts up on Alpha Bastards and Rogues. (and I'm now pimping my own bit on Fools in the process)
I'm definitely a Rogue person. Although sometimes I like ABs too -- Batman ^_^. I think I read too many romance novels with too many traumatized ABs though, and it may have burned me out of the type. Mostly I'm a Fool person -- something about the randomness factor is very appealing to me. Plus, I especially like the Fools who realize they are Fools and have accepted it (remembering now Diarmuid's "I will never move to the measured gait"), who have a thread of seriousness in them that they conceal well under their Foolness.
Huh, not even sure if that last paragraph made sense!
Course, in real life, I fell for a Beta male because romance archetypes? Really hard to live with.
