Fixer.
From small personal worries or squabbles between groups.
To larger issues like serious disputes between nations or even global crises.
They don’t discriminate based on the severity of the job, these are people who solve other people’s problems for them.
Detectives, private eyes, mercenaries, and the like.
They go by many names depending on their unique traits and personalities.
But at their core, they all share one thing in common: solving someone else’s problems instead of dealing with their own.
These fixers tend to be favored as protagonists in stories across all genres.
This is because their job nature—handling clients’ requests—makes it easy to naturally weave them into the narrative.
Of course, you can’t just have some half-baked amateur solving others’ problems in a cool and stylish way.
Most of the time, such characters are portrayed as uber-capable, jack-of-all-trades types.
Even if they usually seem like lazy good-for-nothings you can’t rely on,
In critical moments, they shine like heroes, resolving conflicts in an epic and satisfying manner.
Now, some of you might be wondering:
Why am I rambling on about this Fixer genre that doesn’t really pique your interest?
The reason is simple.
First off, I’m a hardcore otaku who loves this kind of Fixer story regardless of genre.
And secondly…
Because when I died and reincarnated, I woke up in the world of a comic where the protagonist is exactly that kind of fixer!
“Is this girl the one with superpowers? On the surface… she seems pretty harmless.”
“Yes. Judging by her inability to speak properly, it seems she went through something pretty rough during the experiment.”
“That’s quite unfortunate. Yet another victim created by the city.”
But seriously, that poor person isn’t me.
Please don’t get the wrong idea.
