Paladin aka knight in shining armour type of character. I mean, honest-to-gods version of this. Good and righteous and one who can sacrifice themselves for the cause of good. And at the same type I despise All-loving hero thing. 0_o
Person and their X (magical weapon, cool pet, car ...well, their non-human anything or anyone).
Cold/Stern person who is nice when you get to know them - bonus points if said person wears glasses/eye-patch OR have a job like archer or something like that if they don't wear glasses.
Villain getting redemption arc - YES! GIMME!
And my favourite - when Hero gets thrown into the future and when they arrive, they see super advanced society, make friends with locals and all like that. And then they are presented with a choice of either staying here and fighting villain as it is or going back to the past and essentially killing this future with all these people they made some meaningful relationships.
