Power Trio
Make the most of three characters.
After discussing "The Five-Man Band" and "The Sixth Ranger" , I want to bring you the Power Trio as a common trope in story telling.
A three-character-cast is a common number in ensembles. One of the more common ways to break the group down is by having two members to be each other's foil while the third member of the group is the mediator who balances their personalities.
This dynamic makes for a powerful trio as you can break down any metric of skill, personality, or appearance into two extremes and a medium.
Since these three characters are an ensemble, it's important to have them interact directly with each other. Of course, having a Power Trio in your story doesn't mean they have to be the only heroes. You can embed the Power Trio into the Five Man Band in a Three Plus Two pattern.
An example of a trio that is nearly homogeneous are our beloved ducklings Hewey, Dewey, and Louie. Three boy ducks that dress the same, behave the same, and do the same things.
An example of a trio with characters that complement each others skills are Harry, Hermione, and Ron from the Harry Potter books/movies.
As a writer, you can use the accepted team of three to your advantage to have a full range of qualities and talents at the ready.

I received these replies to my last Action & Adventure Newsletter "The Sixth Ranger"
somik wrote: That sixth person, no doubt, is an experienced person who need some quality. The person gather a lot experience through travelling. It is a clear indication of his few qualities. First of all, that person loves the nature very much, otherwise one can not travel much. That person should have hunger of knowledge and should have deep observation power otherwise it can not be continued for a longer period of time. Over all that person should have some patience otherwise this type of colorful character can not be built.
You make good points to help others writers to build the sixth ranger into an effective character.

Thank you for reading and commenting on my newsletter.

The Sixth Ranger certainly fits into any genre.
