Behold! The Anti Munch Project!
Designed to show you "Know-it-all's" that you actually know nothing!
lol jk blaugh
In all seriousness this guide is to help identify (And hopefully restrain you from creating) Character Stereotypes. (The Bad ones)
This is only a small section of the over Project. Other sections may or may not be added later depending on the demand for them.
A classic example that will be addressed is the ever persistent (And widely hated) Godmoder! stressed
In the following posts will be examples of Character Stereotypes followed by posting examples from Billy and Ben. In all the examples to come, Ben's posts will be the ones at fault.
Shall we continue?
Let's shall!

Our first example: Because I know this is the one you all want to read
Godmoders!
The most annoying role playing crime ever! The player who thinks he is a God. He either never takes a hit, or when he does, takes zero damage. They also tend to incorporate many other AMP violating things, which is just unfair to other RPrs.
Billy: I slash at your neck with my battle axe.
Ben: The axe breaks in half on my seemingly normal neck. And I do not receive a scratch.

IDKFA-ers (I Don't Know F***ing Anything)
IDKFA-ers are basically spies, with totally unrealistic gadgets or items on their body or person, which are also unrelated to the character. Examples include a laser pen on Solid Snake or James Bond and a condom xd :
Billy: I raise a gun to your forehead.
Ben: I tap my watch and it turns into a magnet which pulls your gun right out of your hand before a laser cannon emerges from my sunglasses along with two tactical nukes.

Aimbotters
An aimbotter is a role player who has ridiculously unrealistic accuracy and unsurprisingly never misses (or almost never.) This is not only limited to firearms but also to any projectile such as mystically throwing a shard of metal into someone’s ear lobe from a few hundred meters off.
Billy: My two pet hunting birds fly around me.
Ben: From a hundred meters away I shoot behind my back with a 9mm pistol and one of the hummingbirds heads fly off, I then spin around and peg my gun directly into the other bird.

Puppet Masters
Dictating what another person’s character does or how they react, extremely irritating.
Billy: I walk into the room and sit down at the bar.
Ben: I smash you in the head with a bottle and you run screaming from the room before falling down the stairs and killing yourself.

Shoe Elves
A form of puppet mastery that usually involves the lack of another role player’s character’s presence. It is not a very common problem, and usually only a bit of a joke.
Billy: ((I have to go eat dinner. See you guys later!))
Ben: Noticing that Billy stopped moving I walk up to him and shave off both his eyebrows before taking off his clothes and taking numerous photos which I send to playgirl.

Baghdad Bobbits
Puppet masters and aimbotters combine to form an insta-kill style of role play character.
Billy: I look up at the stars.
Ben: I run up to you and grab your hand pulling you over before stabbing you several times in the spine with a large fork.

Auto-Hitters
Aimbotter and puppet master mixed to make a person who tells you how he hit you and how his hit connected. It is sometimes allowed but widely frowned upon.
Billy: I take a swing at you with a bat.
Ben: I grab the bat from your hands, spin around and smash your knee caps backwards.

Revisionists
Someone who's alters and RP to suit their needs, usually when they don't like the RP itself.
Billy: Considering this is a Medieval RP, I take my time as my illiterate and somewhat retarded peasant, wandering around the town boredly.
Ben: Not particularly liking the looks of this RP, I decide to spice things up a bit by deploying my Iron Maiden robots, giant metal skull crushing machines of doom, which incinerate all in their path!
Billy: (( This is a MEDIEVAL RP! ))
Ben: (( Not any more b***h. ))

Oxymoron’s
A character that is basically the opposite of itself, and therefore extremely unlikely to exist. Such as a pacifist priest warlord. They just don't make sense.
Billy: In this role-play based in 1840, Texas, I am a cowboy.
Ben: I am a young boy who was trained in Tibet in the ancient art of Kung Jujitsu and also how to shoot every kind of gun there is. And I ride up to you on a motorbike.

Prosecutors
Basically the largest idiot in a place, who accuses others of breaking AMP rules when they are in fact the guilty ones.
Billy: I slash at you as hard as I can with my sword.
Ben: I catch your sword and snap it in half before punching you in the face causing your nose to bleed.
Billy: ((You can't just catch my sword and make me bleed like that!))
Ben: ((Yes I can! You can't swing a sword without moving forward and everybody knows that I'm uber strong and can snap swords, so you were always going to get punched, and if you think you could have moved that quickly you would be godmodding! n00b!! ))

Twinks
Sometimes allowed in certain RPs. If the RP isn't specifically about invincible deities and such, a simple rule is that if the strengths aren't counterbalanced with relatively equivalent weaknesses (or if the reasoning behind the phenomenal cosmic powers isn't eloquently and appropriately explained), you're dealing with a Twinks.
Billy: Having knocked you down, I give you my hand to help you to your feet.
Ben: My skin turns you to stone.

Min-Maxers
Basically the same as a Twink but tends to incorporate many more powers as opposed to the twinks token super unstoppable power, and also has usually one (sometimes more) token weakness.
Billy: After you beating me to a pulp with your super magic armor I ask you what weakness's it has.
Ben: Uhh, if you hit both armpits at the same time with a wet towel.

McFlys
Mcfly as in the movie back to the future! That should explain itself xd :
Billy: Now that your force field is down I can run inside your base!
Ben: Um.... um.... there is also a super secret second force field that is twice as strong as the last one! I didn't say anything about it before or even mention anything like it because it was so secret, not because I just made it up!

Gaseous Snakes
A character that apparently was everywhere in the past and did everything possible that could benefit themselves.
Billy: I run through the forest, weaving and cutting through trees.
Ben: You fall down a pit I dug earlier knowing exactly where you would run.
