Basic Trope: A character who acts as a (or is) brother and/or a father figure to the other teammates.
- Straight: Bob is not only Charles's older brother, but also a moral advisor.
- Exaggerated: Bob is Charles's older brother who's always close and supporting of him. He's also his omniscient mentor.
- Downplayed: Bob sets an example for his younger brother without particularly trying to, reinforcing ideals Charles already had.
- Justified: Bob and Charles's parents either died or just disowned them, and Bob is the only one who could teach Charles the way of life.
- Inverted: Charles is the Little Brother Mentor to Bob.
- Gender Inverted: Alice is the Big Sister Mentor to Diana.
- Subverted: Charles tries to be a mentor to Bob, but is kind of an idiot.
- Double Subverted: ???
- Parodied: ???
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: Bob is only a brother figure to Charles.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: "I'm not just a brother, but a teacher as well."
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: Bob abandons Charles, refusing to watch over him like a child.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Deconstructed:
- Bob becomes too bossy towards Charles and this made Charles abandon him completely.
- Charles is completely dependent on Bob and is lost without him.
- Reconstructed: Like actual Good Parents, Bob figures out there's a balancing act to be done between providing mentorship and guidance to Charles while also letting him grow and learn how to eventually stand on his own.
- Played For Drama: Bob undergoes a Face–Heel Turn and Charles ends up having to fight him.
