TVTropes (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage) is this website, right? People post things that are common narrative conventions across a bunch of different sorts of storytelling, from television to theater to video games to literature. These aren't "clichés" or anything of the sort, just common structures that can be analyzed and/or made the butt of good-natured jokes.
In this topic, let's apply them to our characters' lives. We often talk about how we're creating stories cooperatively, right? So, how do they fit in with the established "tropes" one sees on the above site? Try to use the ones listed on that site, as they're pretty exhaustive, and maybe include a link to its description.
As always, with this sort of thread, characters alive within the last year and events/plots that may still be affecting IC events are off-limits.
I'll start.
Perpetual Poverty (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PerpetualPoverty) -- Oh, hell, too many to name. I had this Tor Scorpion Cadet dwarf a couple years back (he died in the gith invasion of Allanak). At the time, the Academy didn't have a cistern of water or a cook available to Cadets, only to full Scorpions, and Cadets were unpaid. Nobles would take you into the Academy proper to get you food and water if they had the time, but when do nobles tend to have time to spare in an active House? So, my Cadet, much like a bunch of other Cadets, lived in this perpetual limbo state of having next-to-no money and hoping that Lord or Lady Tor would have the time to take them to get food before they starved to death, though they never truly seemed to run out of money, food, or water. They were just always close to it. One time, a Lord Tor needed my dwarf to go get him a waterskin and fill it with clear water. He gave him about 10 more 'sid than necessary to do the task, and after, told him he could keep the rest of the money, and it was about the happiest day of my poor stumpy's life.
In The Back (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InTheBack) and The Combat Pragmatist (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheCombatPragmatist), obviously.
Also: Sacrificial Lamb (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SacrificialLamb) and Casualty in the Ring (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CasualtyInTheRing).
Oh, here's an easy one.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AnyoneCanDie
Longcoat Badasses abound.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheWisePrince (http://"the%20wise%20prince") - to an extent... alot of my characters tend to be good people, but humbled and obviously detracted by something interior, usually past experiences. I think it fits in well in Zalanthas - a person trying to do well, but overburdened by the glaring hardships of everyday life in Hell.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MysteriousWatcher (http://mysterious%20watcher)- I'm a voyeur, I like to be hidden and watch things, and then use that knowledge later. I think it also influences what kind of magickers I play.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheDrifter (http://the%20drifter) - All my characters tend to wander, and I get very disappointed with one area.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CelibateHero (http://celibate%20hero) - I've never had mudsex and don't plan on it.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YoungerThanTheyLook (http://younger%20than%20they%20look) - I've never done a main-desc change (usually out of laziness or a lack of interest in -my- description), even after some 20 in-game years. Resulting in some 40-50 year old characters that look as good as when they were twenty.
So I guess all in all I'm a Wise, Celibate Prince that drifts and watches... all the while belying his age with youthful handsomeness. (Those were just a few that jumped out at me).
You know, you can use tdesc now to reflect aging if you're waiting for/too lazy to get a full mdesc overhaul on your long-lived character.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ConvenientlyAnOrphan
I tend to make 'Rinthi/Red Storm/tribal PCs who were orphaned at a young age or abandoned and grew up on their own.
Oddly enough, my characters from Allanak, Tuluk, UnderTuluk, and the 'Nakki farming villages tend to come from virtually established, well fleshed-out families, some of which I've managed to wrangle other players into being a part of.
Blessed With Suck (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlessedWithSuck) - The majority of magickers.
Too Dumb To Live (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TooDumbToLive) - Thankfully, most of these characters don't.
In The Hood (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InTheHood) - This whole page is a Trope goldmine for Armageddon.
PermaStubble (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PermaStubble) - Ahem.
Cluster F Bomb (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ClusterFBomb) - Well, obviously.
I like this site.
However, it is THIS times 10: http://xkcd.com/446/

This.
Cute Monster Girl (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMonsterGirl) - I have a habit of rolling up horrific mutants that people for some reason find adorable.
Abhorrent Admirer (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AbhorrentAdmirer) - Said mutants tend to stalk normal looking people.
Cute Bruiser (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteBruiser) - Almost all my most powerful combat PCs have been tiny.
Jungle Princess (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JunglePrincess) - Raised by gortoks and acted like it.
FunetikAksent (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FunetikAksent) - Used so egregiously by some characters that it deserves a fate worse than death. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FateWorseThanDeath)

Interesting. I was worried that this bothers some people.
What's the solution, then? How do I convey the qualities of my character's speech without Funetiks?

I'm of the opinion you can get the message across just fine with emotes, speech mannerisms, and your character's own coded accent.
> say (sounding like a bit of a yokel) Hi! I'm from Menos.
as opposed to
> say Hi! Aahm frum Menuhs.
On magickers:
Magickers aren't Blessed With Suck. They are Cursed With Awesome: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CursedWithAwesome
Then of course there are those magickers that get this little megalomania: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AGodAmI
And how many of them simply get out of touch, even if they aren't a megalomaniac: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AboveGoodAndEvil
Then of course there's the issue with people that like tormenting gemmers: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BullyingADragon
Of course, everyone not playing a hidden magicker assumes this one at some point or another about others, with or without further data: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DislikingXMeansYouAreSecretlyX
On others:
Half-giants too often fall into this role: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Cloudcuckoolander
Of course we also have an Omnicidal Maniac somewhere running around, though not a PC: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OmnicidalManiac
Oh, and how many of you have done well, done awesome in fact, only to have the Templar decide you're still worthy of death: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished
People also fall prey to this trope in how they deal with people: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LonersAreFreaks
One of my favorites, and I know of quite a few characters to pull this goonery: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpellMyNameWithAThe
Heh, I love playing The Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NightmareFuelStationAttendant) with my half-giants.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Wangst (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Wangst)
I am familiar with this one in Armageddon. ;D
all jstorrie characters:
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass)
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RetiredBadass
If you use hooker in the sense of trading sex for goods, services, or personal gains, hooker with a heart of gold (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HookerWithAHeartOfGold) would have to be the most common theme in my characters.
I found a few, but so recent. These are definitely my niche, though:
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BattleButler
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlmightyJanitor
Even more so since all Armageddon characters have to start with a guild. Had a few apparently worthless social reject characters whom templars would treat nicely. I wouldn't be surprised if someone filed a player complaint at those guys :P
From the taming thread...
Quote from: Agent_137 on June 14, 2009, 10:16:52 AM
Why the fuck can't an HG tame an erdlu? Does he actually have to get on its back and break it like a bucking horse? Vastly more than that goes into training a creature in real life.
I'm reminded of that cartoon monster, whatever it was. (and look at that, it's a trope!)

Yes, I've seen it overdone. Incomprehensibility is bad.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DesertPunk (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DesertPunk)
The term "Wagon Train To The Stars" had more relevance than we thought. Much of humanity has gone to outer space, but apparently all the planets they could settle on were dry, desert-covered worlds. Water's rarely at a premium, for whatever reason, but other resources tend to be hard to come by.
Oases tend not to exist; if they do, they're mythical treasures.
Of course, when life becomes hard (and on such a world, it usually is), morals are the first thing you throw away. Thus, on such a world, law and order is swift to break down, and suddenly we have The Wild West on another planet.
Alternate version: deserted lands After The End (usually nuclear wars).
A relatively young setting; may or may not burn out in the near future.
Ah, this:

[Thanks Moe. :P]
Mystical Waif (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MysticalWaif):
QuoteSure signs you're dealing with a Mystical Waif are odd hair colors; weird (by the standards of the game world), often futuristic-themed clothing; magical powers; blank, serious facial expressions; lots of ellipses in her speech; and an inordinate amount of attention from the villains. Even if it's blatantly obvious that she has some significant role in the villains' plans and/or something to hide, the other characters will often not press her on it.
Dark Magical Girl (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DarkMagicalGirl):
QuoteA young girl's greatest fear isn't monsters, or magical threats from beyond time and space. No, a young girl's greatest fear overshadows all of those things.
Her greatest fear is to be alone.
Normal Magical Girls have a good relationship with their family members, they make friends at school—they may be a little dim, but that's okay, and this all translates into the magical ability to defend what they love from external threats.
Dark Magical Girls don't have that. For them, Parental Abandonment is not funny or convenient. The relatively lucky ones have absentee workaholic parents; the others are actively abused. Sometimes the parent is one of the Big Bads. She doesn't have real friends or exploits past the academic because she doesn't know how to really communicate socially, if she goes to school at all. Or perhaps all of her friends died, turning her cynical, and she's afraid to make more friends because it'll only cause more pain. She's smart, but she doesn't understand what is wrong with her and what is wrong with the world.
And
Broken Bird (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird):
QuoteTheir deep experience and emotional detachment almost always gives the impression of competence, though they don't always live up to their own hype. Varying between Cool Big Sis, Emotionless Girl, Little Miss Snarker and Snark Knight, they mark themselves as more experienced and worldly than the other characters, even if the Competence Zone means they themselves are barely out of their teens.
In fact, they can sometimes fill a mentor role for less experienced and more idealistic characters, all the while loudly expressing their irritation with said arrangement, so no one gets the impression they're softening up. Sometimes this is to Jerkass levels; however, they are most often a sympathetic Jerk With A Heart Of Gold, giving a impression of independent toughness to hide a sincere affection for the other characters.
These are all regulars with me. :-X
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LightIsNotGood
QuoteLight Is Not Good is when a character is directly bad, directly villainous — and still has Light powers. Depending on Character Development, they might be sympathetic, perhaps well-intentioned but horribly misguided. Or they could be the most gleefully twisted bastard imaginable.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheEvilsOfFreeWill
QuoteA subtrope of Utopia Justifies The Means and a quintessential Evil Plan to Take Over The World. Frequently justified by the Well Intentioned Extremist Visionary Villain in a Just Between You And Me with the hero as being a small sacrifice. If it means no conflict, a quadruplication of the standard of living, the eradication of inequality, poverty, discrimination, and hate... isn't it worth it?
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadassBoast (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadassBoast)
QuoteMany characters like to boast about their achievements, but only a few can do so in style, rattling off a string of titles and battle honours that impresses allies and intimidates enemies in a way which makes them sound mythic, not conceited.
One of my character's favorite conversation tactics, or simply things said when making an introduction.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RealMenWearPink (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RealMenWearPink)
QuoteThis can also be true in other areas of life. For some reason, gritty loners, hulking brutes, and all around uber-manly characters tend to gravitate towards at least one decidedly un-manly interest or hobby.

Dear god, I am guilty of playing all of these tropes - some of them multiple times! Omg, I never realized how typecast I was?! ???
AxCrazy (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AxCrazy) An "ax crazy" character is someone who is psychologically unstable and presents a clear danger to others. Ax crazies are capable of extreme violence, whether carried out with a Slasher Smile, a Creepy Monotone, or out and out murderous rage, and with no way of knowing just what will set them off, this makes them extremely frightening to deal with.
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity?from=Main.ComesGreatInsanity) Other times, it seems that insanity happens as a side effect for no discernible reason other than to justify the needs of the plot and/or give the super individual a weakness that they must struggle to balance and maintain.
Oracular Urchin (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OracularUrchin) - Usually female, small and fey in a disturbing way, the Oracular Urchin knows more about the future — or the present — than she really should.
Badass Adorable (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadassAdorable) - Underneath the irrepressibly cheerful demeanor, behind the innocent wide-eyed gaze, lies an astonishing capacity for kicking your ass.
Action Girl (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ActionGirl) The Action Girl is, essentially, badassitude molded into a sleek female frame: a female character who is spunky, agile, and can take you down with an array of kicks, punches, or diverse Weapons Of Choice. She is not a Distressed Damsel. She doesn't sit around waiting to be rescued. She doesn't talk/manipulate/charm her way out of problems.
RedShirt (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RedShirt) Their purpose is almost exclusively to give the writers someone to kill who isn't a main character, although they can also serve as a Spear Carrier.
Damn, this website is addicting.

I think Zalanthas of itself is a CrapsackWorld.
And it could be interactive fiction or Video Game, I would think.
Hmm, very similar... (http://www.zalanthas.org/gdb/index.php/topic,35389.0.html)

...which uses the tropes in Armageddon, and puts them on a page, unless I'm sorely mistaken? I'm just saying, it's very similar. You could look over that thread, and use all of the tropes picked out there to make the Armageddon page. Alternatively, you could have taken that thread and said that you wanted to make a TVtropes page, and already had all the comments from other people.
Merged the topics.
