everymen
Typical regular folks
Everymen is the plural of everyman—ordinary, average people meant to represent common humanity.
The term comes from a medieval morality play whose protagonist stood for all people.
In modern use, everymen are relatable characters lacking exceptional traits: The director cast everymen rather than glamorous stars.
The word often appears in discussions of fiction or politics where broad identification matters.
