So, Eva said we could do a thread trope but wouldn't take responsibility for wasting people's time... I'm totally willing to take responsibility for making fellow RPers waste hours and hours on this! On a more serious note, hunting for Tropes can actually help flesh out a character and can be a good RP aid. I'll do mine later. Ermahgerd! Balmung: Azyria, Helena, Agata, Jeanette, and more...

This will be fun! I will update my list of Alothia tropes here: Show Content AlothiaTropes Be All My Sins Remembered The Atoner Good Is Not Soft Contemplate Our Navels-Well, more like the hem of whatever garment she's wearing at the time, but whatever. Dirty Business-Although she does try to keep legit. Guilty Pleasures-She definitely has a few of those... Hates Being Alone-THIS. It's one of her biggest fears. I Am What I Am-SHe's trying to come to this... True Companions-This is totally how she feels about the people of Corvus Never Got To Say Goodbye-to her parents...and her sister...maybe... Yandere-to an extent All Girls Want Bad Boys-Definitely her and Oskar Single Woman Seeks Good Man-then on to Zenge Fourth Date Marriage-seems to have been the build up with Para Ambition is Evil-Backstory Bathing Beauty-never thought about that reasoning...I like it Graceful Ladies Like Purple-is it wrong that this is her favorite color? Lady of Black Magic-But she hides behind her white magic. The Plucky Girl Cat-Girl Cute Little Fangs All Knowledge is Worth Having Wiki & LS Guide*RP Guide*My Wiki*Jutat De FC

These are fun but waaaaaaay time-consuming.  I'm glad I've already done this cuz it's kind of a busy day.  I'll post them here, if you want to take it out of the quote in the OP Asyria: Show Content Eva Tropes Eva: Big Breasts, Big Deal - Eva falls primarily under the 'embarrassment' or 'resentment' subcategories Hidden Buxom - yeah let's get this boob stuff out of the way now Reluctant Fanservice Girl Hello Nurse - yeah... Hot Librarian - back at the book shoppe Beautiful All Along - sort of Weight Woe - she still wrestles with it in her mind Real Women Have Curves Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold Long Hair is Feminine Broken Bird Iron Woobie Nice Guy Girl Interrupted Declaration of Love - for Vaelyn at the end of 1.0 Romancing The Widow Love Hurts - Pemmy, Oskar... /lesigh You Can't Fight Fate The Fatalist The Anti-Nihilist You Are Not Alone Weakness Turns Her On Pitbull Dates Puppy - Oskar/Eva dynamic, sort of Opposites Attract - more of the Oskar/Eva thing Her Heart Will Go On Someone To Remember Him By - Oskar Jr. x2? But I Can't Be Pregnant - apparently supposedly-barren women getting pregnant is a trope too "One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth doing is what we do for others."  ~ Lewis Carol Eva's Journals  |  Eva's Wiki Page (coming soon)  |  RP Handbook

Ok some tropes for Azyria... Cat Girl >.> Chaotic Good Type 4. She's a vigilante, after all! Action Girl duh Faux Action Girl Before she went vigilante, she got into a few scrapes and managed very well, which is part of where the whole vigilante idea came from. However, since putting on her mask and haunting the roofs of Ul'dah, she's been pretending in order to maintain her cover... Let's Get Dangerous could happen if civilian Azyria is caught in a bad situation and has no choice but to fight to the best of her abilities. Waif Fu with a spear Blades On A Stick are her Weapons Of Choice Heroic Resolve she got it Cool Mask for serious You Gotta Have Blue Hair she got that too And some for Agata... Destructive Saviour She'll put that rampaging monster down, but she'll rampage just as much as it would while doing so. >.> Boisterous Bruiser cause pirate-ish Roegadyn pugilist  Amazonian Beauty all female Roegadyn should get this one, at least if they're fighter types Action Girl duh Lightning Bruiser Fast, strong AND tough. Her weakness is she's neither particularly smart or careful... Glory Seeker Blood Knight FF = Fighting Fun More another time, I guess! (07-02-2013, 12:57 PM)Naunet Wrote: Hnnngh. I hate TV Tropes with a fiery passion, especially when people try to reduce a character to a TV Tropes link. @.@ It's not about reducing a character to them, it's about having fun associating them to characters! That and it can help define a character and be a RP aid, just like archetypes, definining characteristics, and keywords in pen&paper RPGs. You don't have to participate if you don't like it, anyway. ^^: Ermahgerd! Balmung: Azyria, Helena, Agata, Jeanette, and more... Mateus: In progress

Loki Action Girl - pretty much describes Loki to a tee. Lady of Black Magic - Happens during 2.0, she slowly becomes an Summoner due to hearing the Primals in her head. Deadpan Snarker - obviously Ethical Slut - Yup. Good Bad Girl Kuudere - Cool on the outside, sweet on the inside. Unkempt Beauty Armi Strange Girl - Especially in 1.0 but a bit of that remains in 2.0. Her personality is more interesting, but she still has an underlying strangeness to her. Small Steps Hero - Armi has been demoted from a Martyr Without a Cause to a Small steps hero. She is no longer looking to die for a righteous cause, but it still a good person who wants to be righteous. This varies in success. The Heart - Always. Lady of War - She is a graceful, stoic bard. Also very, very good with a bow. Drowning My Sorrows - Armi will have a hard time adjusting to the 5 year skip in the beginning (I PLAN on having this just be a temporary thing, but who knows). Honestly, this is my excuse for getting her into taverns where everyone and their dog likes to RP.

I love TVtropes...totally wasted an hour looking thru them just now XD Unfortunately Torvhan is a wee baby pretty much and hasn't done much of anything yet so only a few generic tropes apply till I flesh him out more and more stuff happens to him. We Help the Helpless Knight in Shining Armor Chronic Hero Syndrome Bully Hunter I saw a few more I figure will probably be added but as of yet can't really justify them as applying.

Well, I had time. The Greatest Story Never Told - Rhio may not be a spy any longer, but the mindset sticks. Metaphorically True Exact Words Cryptically Unhelpful Answer Mathematician's Answer Always Second Best - At least, in her mind. Despair Event Horizon - Well, not quite. But she's come damn close. Love Hurts Weak, but Skilled Deadly Dodging Combat Pragmatist Professional Killer - Again, not really any more. But it sticks.
