TV Tropes will ruin your life... maybe. If you don't feel that way, however, then come take a gander and add in tropes you feel were shown here. My post will serve as the main trope list. Where Mugen has the character's list, and NN1 runs the music playlist and now the C-Box, I will rule the tropes thread =w= If anyone sees examples of any tropes in their RPs, please bring them up immediately. If anyone wants a certain trope edited a certain way, bring it up as well. Now to begin.
ADDED BY MUGENGINGA (WITH PERMISSION!) Alright, a few additional rules.
1. Only post once, with your list. Felix originally wanted this to be an organized list for tropes, not the mess we had before. Since its easier for us to add our own, each user is allowed one post. They can edit it to add.
2. Leave discussion off the trope page! If you want to say you've edited or added, add it in the CBox. Heck, if someone wants to request it I can make a separate page just for discussion. But Felix wanted something more organized than what we had before, and discussion posts just bogs things down. (I also deleted the few "discussion" type posts that were there. There were only two or three.)
Thanks!

Dimensional Clash contains examples of...
Alternative Character Interpretation: When is that NOT here? -I feel I must mention the Age of the Eds.
Berserk Button: And how? -Felix literally became a sociopathic mass murderer when it came to people hurting Angel!Edd. -King had a moment like this when Masahiro tried to walk out after murdering Shinichi. Though the group was upset that Masahiro had the nerve to do such a thing so quickly, they understood his motives and welcomed him back. -Despite being the Stoic nowadays, Masahiro is actually the main character for this trope in Felix Falora's list with a record of four Berserk Button reactions. The first was to go evil period when Felix was destroyed by Good and then stay evil when Felix got together with Edd. The second was after the fight with the Devil, when he murdered Shinichi after Shinichi nearly got Edd killed by Queen Nida. The third was when the Tribunal nearly murdered Perceval. His eyes of insanity evolved into the eye of destruction and he burned the forest down with it. The fourth is actually recent. Angered by Seven's outlook on life, the murder of one of his friends, and the threatening attitude he seems to have towards his comrades, Masahiro has made it clear to Seven that he will "gut him like a pig" if he attacks.
Big Bad: There are so many it's hard to name them all.
Blow You Away: Shine, Jackson, Patchouli Knowledge, and Past Felix.
Breaking The Fourth Wall: Done often, the biggest breaks are when RPer Felix Falora self inserted himself into the RP as a character, Michael Bergeron, and then literally created the Real World, also known as the Author's World to some characters, as an area to RP in.
Butt Monkey: Trevor Birmingston... I love to fuck with him.
Chaotic Evil: Shadow, Jessica, Kefka Palazzo, Lucifer (Hellsing), Reonu, Lloyd Tigra, Lucifer (Satan), Emeraldi Shadowheart (Possessed), Usagi Kashito (Night), and Masahiro Watanabe (Past).
Chaotic Good: Tomoya Okazaki, Mary, Momiji Sohma, Schrodinger, Michael Maurice, Kaoru Hitachiin (sometimes), and Hong Meiling.
Chaotic Neutral: Lilian, Akito Sohma, Alucard, Kaoru Hitachiin (mostly), Ranma Saotome, Shadow, Christian, Remilia Scarlet, Melleanna, Myushelle Yseraborne, Leon Falora, and Michael Bergeron.
Clipped Wing Angel: Lucifer, the Devil. During his fight against Felix and Edd, he only transformed into one other form.
Completely Missing The Point: How many of my characters have missed the point? -In "Eye Of Destruction," Masahiro's defenses against himself and his actions made Double D figure that Masahiro was "completely missing the point."
Crowning Funny of Awesome: Jilak's Sonic/Silver symbology study in the C-Box, comparing Sonic to Adam and Silver to Eve. When Mugen asked him to stop, he invoked the Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies trope, thus leading to a hilarious conclusion. "Rocks fall, seemingly from out of nowhere, and everyone dies. The end."
Crowning Music of Awesome: Bad Apple, first shown to this troper by FF, is potentially one of the best musics describing the atmosphere of DC.
Dark Is Evil: Lyndara and Jessica. Lyndara uses the art of Necromancy and Jessica controls shadows similar to Kyle before he was made.
Dark Is Not Evil: Myushelle, a Death Knight. At first, she was evil, but when she broke free from Arthas' control, she nearly went on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge amongst the Scourge and continues to use her necromantic powers to fight against them.
Dishing Out Dirt: Shadow, Emily, Patchouli Knowledge, and Past Felix
Distracted By The Shiny: Or, in our case, the C-Box.
Driven To Suicide: Leon Falora
Even Evil Has Standards: 42Zombies' Desmond, the Wizard Hunter, back in the days of Felix/Edd, before alternate Edds were made mass produce. He hated the Wizard, who happened to be the first alternate Edd, and wanted to kill Felix's beloved Edd due to the potential of him becoming the Wizard. He was even willing to threaten destruction to the entire apartment complex and his actions led to the Edds having to move to the House of Blue Leaves. And then Elenor, Random NPC Insertion, comes in, also wanting to kill Edd, Felix, and their daughter, Marion. He might've gotten away if he had left out the daughter part. Turns out Desmond, in his God complex, feels that anybody who would kill a child, that which he sees as innocent incarnite in a decadent, sinful world, deserves to die. Desmond's murdering Elenor allowed Edd and his friends to escape, but he did track them down =P
Evil Eye: Masahiro's Eye of Destruction, formerly the Eye of Insanity.
Fetish Fuel: On this site... it's EVERYWHERE! Feel free to PM certain ones though.
Foe Yay: Gantz/FF was conceived out of fun before. FF experimented on Gantz and turned him into a clockwork monster, so it's known they hate each other, yet we still put it out there. -Felix/Prue - Felix's idiocy and Mugen's fear led to a horrible hatred for each other that, only via an intervention, could be brought to light. After the two managed to come to some sort of understanding, FF herself called the pairing. It'll probably haunt the two for years to come.
Fluffy The Terrible: Usagi Kashito. By day, he's severely perverted. By night, he's a murderer. Either way, he's terrible.
Genre Savvy: Masahiro Watanabe
God In Human Form: God himself shows up in human form whenever Felix wishes him to. It destroys the Christian canon completely, but then again the RPer never gave a fuck about religion in the first place. -Due to concerns laid out by the mods, the diety that Edd and the others follow is no longer the Christian diety. Plans are being made to give the supposed god a name as well as a purpose. Heaven also has to be renamed. But we don't want anti-homosexual Christians to troll the site because Felix is an asshole.
Goshdang It To Heck: Subverted by everyone here except Ryocker as the rest of us don't have protective software (or whatever the hell it is) on our PCs keeping us from cursing. Ryocker, due to this, has to censor every single word he uses. Must be a real female dog to censor darn and Hades, am I freakin' right? XD -Also played straight by Gantz until Fun Family Reunion. Gantz would [BLEEP] out his words with asteriks, but when Felix dropped and insulted Edd, he came out with a big uncensored F bomb where every other word out of his mouth was FUCK!
Green Thumb: Emily, Patchouli Knowledge, and Past Felix
Hamrful to Minors: I hate kids a lot, don't I? -Ruby, who was killed by Masahiro upon his return to Shagrath. The joke to this day is, "I killed a 10-year-old girl to prove my allegiance to Shagrath." Curse the days I fucked up at RPing. --This could become a Memetic Mutation for DC one day too. -Cho, who was literally abused to death by her father even after she thought she got away from him and found safety in Terra. She Gets Better. -Lucy, who is only 10-years-old herself, yet she will be hunted by the Tribunal simply for having a power she can't use when awake. The God they serve is an asshole. -On a more minor scale, Anna, who is Ruby's sister. She has to suffer knowledge concerning the death of her sister and memory of the suicide of her mother. She was supposed to end up in a romantic pairing with Jeff from Earthbound, but when Saturn dissapeared, she was left alone yet again. Since I haven't been using her, she may be the next to be Driven To Suicide.
Heroric Sociopath: What is Felix's idea of saving the day? Killing his best friend and throwing his lover to the side of course.
High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Someone had nightmares over Felix's Mpreg scene. Let's be honest people. -There was also Melleanna's torture in the Dark Empire. I don't know where the thread went, but the woman literally had her eyes torn out. However, it led to Melleanna becoming an Ice Queen and being able to kick ass with ice magic, so...
Ho-Yay!: This site is full of it!
I Want My Beloved To Be Happy: This was Felix's thought process upon doing every single horrible thing he's ever done. Sadly enough for him, it backfired upon him horrendously and then It Got Worse. -Masahiro's biggest thoughts are around this. He doesn't seem to understand that just being with Perceval would make him happy, but his attempts to impress Perceval involve doing things that will help defend their friends, thus making it more acceptable.
Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Angel!Edd is the main character for this trope here. -Played out with one of Felix's character, there is Rolland who literally has dedicated his life to the Nine Divines and doing good for the world. If he was ever to be corrupted, you would know as his Crusader's Armor would crush him to death for he would not be able to suffer the holy wrath of the Gods. Needless to say, his personality guarantees that will never happen.
Insanity Meter: Felix cannot stay sane to save his life.
Killer Rabit: Usagi Kashito at night. He may look like a cute bunny boy, but he gets off on you bleeding to death.
Lawful Good: Rolland
Les Yay: Myushelle is a lesbian. She just hasn't found a partner yet.
Light Is Not Good: Felix during some occasions, though he also has darkness as well, so this may not count -Derick, one of Crystal's split personalities, is a better example; he hunts anything non-human, no matter what the alignment, with severe biased racism while claiming it's for the good of God.
Making A Splash: Shadow, Anna, Luna, Patchouli Knowledge, and Past Felix
Mary Sue: Felix Falora will admit that his characters, early on, were utter sues and needed work, hence the arcs to develop them into better characters. -Project666, however, never realized that his character, Shade, was a Gary Stu in that he refused to take no for an answer and said that he killed Edd period. Naturally, he was banned for such idiocy.
Memetic Mutation: "I KILLED A 10-YEAR-OLD GIRL TO PROVE MY ALLEGIANCE TO SHAGRATH!"
Mister Seahorse: Felix and Masahiro both get pregnant due to my idea that angels should be able to get pregnant.
My God What Have I Done: Felix's reaction to insulting Edd and throwing him away in his self-infliced anger and insanity. Though he didn't say the actual words, he did beg God to answer why he was losing his mind.
Neutral Good: Shine
Nosebleed: Trevor Birmingston upon seeing a naked Yosh in the park.
Older Than They Look: Momiji Sohma, Mitsukuni Haninozuka, and Usagi Kashito are the three best examples of this trope. All of them look like shotacon boys, but all of them are teenagers, thus making adults that hit on them ephebophiles, not pedophiles.
Only Sane Man: King oftentimes thinks he's this.
Playing With Fire: Shadow, Lilian, Firion, Kefka, Vivian, Patchouli Knowledge, Past Felix, Past Masahiro, and Rolland.
Psycho Electro: Shadow and Kefka are both lightning users who enjoy the suffering of others.
Religion of Evil: Both Christianity and Satanism. While Shagrath and the Devils do what they do best, we have the Tribunal and potentially the Crusaders who do evil deeds in the name of God. Your Mileage May Vary depending on which you think is more evil.
Running Gag: Our C-Box is full of them. -Felix will try to have sex with you, even if it's rape. -FF wants you to sign her contract so she can have her way with you. -And let's not forget that our resident Potential Lesbian Couple, NN1 and Pseu, keep missing each other. Poor girls )=
Satan: Multiple Satans, though Felix's Satan tried to keep to the Judeo-Christian version, despite the fail.
Say My Name: Used quite often during a death scene over the Big No.
Schmuck Bait: Aku was the bait and Angel!Edd, trying to destroy him, took it. The consequences were Angel!Edd's mutation into a monster, loss of Felix's sanity, and near deaths of Alex Mercer and Masahiro Watanabe. Who walks into a putrid forest of evil anyway?
Shock and Awe: Shadow, Mary, Firion, Kefka, Patchouli Knowledge, Past Felix, and Rolland.
Slasher Smile: Plenty of evil characters here have these.
Super Powered Evil Side: Felix's Apocalypse Angel. It's godly, but it's cost him his lover, his friends, and the ability to be loved itsself.
Tear Jerker: And how?! -The entire Felix/Edd plot can be described as a series of tear jerkers. From the rape of Felix to his supposed death to Trevor getting betrayed to Edd killing a man to Masahiro PERIOD to Felix and Edd finally breaking up for good... WHEN WILL THERE BE A HAPPY MOMENT?! Studies say that if Felix has his way... it'll only be after Felix is dead.
The Multinumbered Band: The group living together in the House of Blue Leaves. Once a five-man band only by being Fletcher, Michiko, Matilde, Perceval, and Trevor, the group has gone on to include the Eds, Razputin, Fleetfoot, Nazz, Kyle, Masahiro, Marion, Lucy, and other various characters here and there. Felix used to be among their numbers before he fucked up. Past Felix may be living there temporarily. -Though still being played straight for now, a good number of people hae just left. Edd, Seven, Past Felix, Kyle, and Lucy have just left, forming their own Five Man Band with, what appears to me, the following set up.
The Hero: Edd (He is the leader after all.) The Lancer: Seven (The one that contrasts with Edd, which is why Edd wants to teach him.) The Smart Guy: Lucy (She has a heavy amount of intelligence, but she's also just a kid.) The Big Guy: Kyle (Past Felix could've been here too, but I chose Kyle because he does have a Superpowered Evil Side, which is why he's leaving in the first place.) The Chick: Past Felix (He's the one who desires peace. He's also very girlish. Kyle could've been here too, but since he has a Superpowered Evil Side, he hit the Big Guy role instead.)
The Stoic: Masahiro Watanabe has evolved into the Stoic for the most part. Calm, cool, and intellectual, he does have a Berserk Button though.
Too Good For This Sinful Earth: Ruby, Masahiro's first victim. -Subverted by Cho. She was killed, there was a funeral for her, and Terra literally said the equivalent to this line. She later came back as a fallen angel.
Weak But Skilled: Trevor Birmingston, who knows he's falling behind the angels, yet intends to continue training and become a formidable fighter.
Welcome To The Real World: DC literally has the Real World as a place to RP thanks to Felix Falora, the RPer. This is the world where the RPers live, so it wouldn't be too farfetched to have the characters come into that world to kill their cruel RPers. Subverted by Felix himself, making himself a Creator Cameo as Michael Bergeron so he can have power to keep himself from dying easily.
Winged Humanoid: We have LOTS of winged humanoids, it seems.
Wise Beyond Their Years: Due to her power, Lucy Jennons has the knowledge of a college student... yet is still ten-years-old, physically and emotionally, as shown by her verbal scuffle with Crow.
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Yet again we have a trope to describe Felix's Super Powered Evil Side. As the Apocalypse Angel, he controls light, dark, and twilight energy to create an energy akin to those capable of destroying the world. However, the power corrupted his mind. The only one he seemed to care about was Edd and he saw threats at every corner trying to kill Edd, it seems, threats that needed to be killed first. In the end, he was made sane by the pain of the breakup and is now a sane man in a world that hates him. -Masahiro and Shinichi are also followers of this trope. Shinichi played it straight until his untimely death, becoming a villain for a while. Masahiro plays it as a rollarcoaster; seems to lose his mind, but then comes back to his senses. Now that he's human, he subverts this trope for the Eye of Destruction no longer makes him feel insane. Will Felix Falora, the RPer, ever make a purely good angel?!
Yaoi Fan: So many of them with so many yaoi pairings you'd almost think we support Het Is Ew. Nintendonut1 leads the yaoi fans here.

Affectionate Parody: Several cases are often used, matching with our obsessions of the day. -Angel!Edd's infected plot was heavily derived from the Samurai Jack episode The Aku Infection. -The entire soulname concept is derived from Elfquest. -Monkey See, Doggie Three? Self-explanatory. Alternative Character Interpretation: Some of us do this intentionally (or accidentally XD) Alternate Continuity: I know I myself have strayed from the Super Eds and Night of the Were-Ed continuities when bringing their characters in. Ambiguiously Gay: Trevor (and jokingly Kyle) Anachronic Order: Much of the Edd/Felix plot follows no set order, hence why a timeline needed to be created Aside Glance: Felix Falora’s characters do this to him often, usually bewailing the torture he inflicts on them Author Appeal: You can’t have a roleplay without it! Awesome Anachronistic Apparel: Many characters display this -As far as crossdressing goes, both Terra and Elwood -Dippy’s constant changing wardrobe -Kyle and Fletcher’s tendency to wear 18th century-style clothing Babies Make Everything Better: Edd and Felix's Marion Badass: We try. XD Baleful Polymorph: In "Monkey See, Doggie Three," Mojo Jojo turns the Eds and angels into dogs, negating their powers until they're changed back. Beserk Button: Attempt to hurt Angel!Edd, and Felix would’ve been on you like ugly on a mother-in-law. Best Served Cold: Felix’s murdering of Masahiro Big Eater: Ed and Eddy often are examples of this, as their powers cause an increased metabolism. Bittersweet Ending: Edd and Felix were able to come to terms with their separation and cuts their ties to each other. Black and Grey Morality: We try, but sometimes it works. Bloody Hilarious: Often, Felix, Masahiro, and Schrodinger are brutally mauled for their stupidity, but as quickly regenerated beings, are healed instantly. Angel!Edd complains about the staining of carpets afterwards. Boisterous Bruiser: 4 and his attempts to help the Edd/Felix group Butt Monkey: Poor, poor Cortex. -Others keep urging me to apply Eddy's Brother for a soul purpose of meeting this trope as well. And I'm damn near tempted. Cast of Snowflakes: Everywhere. Plain and simple. Chekhov’s Skill: Many characters go through this -Angel!Edd with his newer Angel of Light abilites -Kyle with his darkness powers -Otto with his new second form Chessmaster: the Wizard Cloudcuckoolander: Crash Bandicoot and Smiley Bone The Combat Pragmatist: Shade Complete Monster: Cho’s Father (even one of his threads is called "True Monster!") Creator Cameo: Felix Falora sometimes inserts himself as Michael. Crowning Moment of Awesome: We have a lot of those. -One that comes to mind is in “Arrival of the Reaper;” when Shade believes he has stabbed Edd in the gut and ensured his death, Edd has in fact turned invisible, moved out of the way, and set up a flexible force field AND an illusion, blood and all. After this bloodied illusion gives Shade a Cheshire Cat Grin and disappears, Edd strikes Shade from behind. Crowning Moment of Funny: I’m sure we have many of these as well. Many of them can be found in The Lulz Corner. -My personal favorite was in “I Need a Shower” when Leon sees “Saturn’s Signature” and promptly upchucks. I don’t blame him, the picture was very Squick.Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: I try to advocate these as much as I can. -One that struck me especially is the one 42 mentions below. :3 Thanks, 42. Damsel in Distress: Gantz’s Rosaline Detect Evil: Many characters have this, but it is more pominent in Angel!Edd. Determinator: Downplayed by Angel!Edd, because he'll listen to reason, but he is not quick to give up on anyone. Dirty Coward: Shade Do Wrong, Right: Leonard’s response to Shade’s assassination attempt Ear Worm: Some of the songs put into the playlist are damn catchy, man. -U.N. Owen was Her Ensemble Darkhorse: Many RPers try to get into the next big plot with their characters. Some get well-known, others not so much. -Shade kind of... subverts this in a REALLY weird way. His character was a dick, but he always gets a mention. XD Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting: To survive in DC, your character either NEEDS to know how to defend themselves or befriend someone who can protect them. Everyone Calls Him Barkeep: 42zombies’ Mayor Evil is Sexy: Queen Nida (and MAYBE Valentina) Excuse Plot: We do all this just to develop a crack pairing? WHY NOT? Fate Worse than Death: Used many times as well -Felix forced to wander in a world that now hates him -Black Mage and Richard trapped in a room with a moose Fighting Narcissist: Exdeath Finger Poke of Doom: Masahiro’s Eye of Destruction Flanderization: Felix, most strongly, and perhaps other characters Flat What: Many of our more sane characters have this reaction to the madness happening around them. For the Evulz: Trump Fun With Acronyms: HOUSE Genre Shift: The Eds gradually shift from comedy to dark drama as Felix gets involved. Gorn: Loooooots of it. XD Hair Trigger Temper: Felix Harmful to Minors: Many of what young characters here go through -Kyle -Marion -Lucy Healing Hands: Angel!Edd converts his light energy into healing through his hands. Dur. Hero Ball: Okay. I'll admit it. Angel!Edd, you're trying to do good, your family loves you for that, but MAN you can be stupid sometimes. I still love ya though Heroic BSOD: Angel!Edd after Felix leaves him Hostage for Macguffin: Mojo kidnapping Marion to lead the Super Children to his lair I Just Want to Be Normal: A silly pipe dream that many of our characters hope for -Angel!Edd literally bewails this in “Recovery.” -NotWE!Edd is more fascinated by and almost envious of Older!Edd’s normal life. I Know Your True Name: The entire soulname concept, the bonds they seal and the manipulations they have caused I’LL KILL YOU!: Almost considered Felix’s Catchphrase by now. It Was His Sled: The Wizard’s identity as a future Edd Jerkass: King Let's Split Up Gang: Done often. We make up excuses sometimes when certain RPers can't join RPs. XD -Edd's break from his family to join Gantz's plot Lions and Tigers and Humans Oh My: Totally and completely. The Load: Brainless Raz in "Psychic Investigation" Mama Bear: Edd and Marion Memetic Badass: NotWE!Edd -Also averted by both Angel!Edd and Kyle Mind Rape: Done mainly times, sometimes by the Wizard, another by Oni Missed Moment of Awesome: Shade had with him all these close-combat weapons and looked prepared for an epic brawl, but ended up using C4s, machine guns, and missile launchers to try and kill Edd. Lame. Monster of the Week: All over the place. -Kijin Kahn -Smithy -Mojo Jojo Monster Sob Story: The Wizard in and after "The Flying City" Mood Whiplash: Sometimes this happens thread to thread, sometimes it happens POST TO POST. Moral Event Horizon: Felix snapping and killing Masahiro Motive Rant: Downplayed by the Wizard No Accounting for Taste: Some argue this for Edd and Felix, sadly XD At least lately they've been. No Holds Barred Beatdown: The Fun Family Reunion thread, where eeeeeveryone wails down on Felix for casting Edd aside Police are Useless: Characters have a better chance protect themselves. Unless there are characters like H.U.R.T. around. Pressure Points: Angel!Edd’s wings are highly sensitive. They invoke pleasure when touched gently by Felix or great pain when Oni rips them apart. Psycho for Hire: Trump Real Life Relative: Siblings sometimes follow us in -Koji is Saturn’s brother -Night Sky had a sister here, but I forgot her SN -And who knows, maybe Nintendonut1’s brother will show up someday The Reveal: Many plot points involve this. -Shinichi’s forbidden love for Edd -Edd’s identity as a potential Wizard -Felix revealed as Masahiro’s murderer Revenge Before Reason: Again, Felix’s murdering of Masahiro Rule of Funny: Played with a lot. Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Jackpot at the end of "What's Right, Morals or Religion?" Tastes Like Diabetes: Practically everything involving sweet little Marion (she's not tortured enough to be a Woobie, sorry! XD) Tempting Fate: We love to make our characters do this WAY too much. XD -Mainly noticing how good life is before everything goes to hell. These Hands Have Killed: Angel!Edd after killing the Tribunal leader This! Is! SPARTA!!: Many cases of this too. -A lot of it is done by Gantzgun74’s characters -But everyone joined in during “Fun Family Reunion? Don’t Be Absurd!” Throwing Down the Gauntlet: Edd forcing the duel with Felix Useful Notes: From Mugenginga’s many OOC notes to the crazy lists of information, many of us try to advert Did Not Do the Research.Villainous Breakdown: The wizard gradually shows this during the Wizard’s Fall arc. Wall Banger: The outcome of “Let The Trouble Begin” got so out of hand Nintendonut1 Felt Angry and almost pulled Beware the Nice Ones.What Could Have Been: 42zombies had set the stage the Wizard to push Edd to reach emotional instability and end up getting pregnant with a son, but the idea was never followed through. The Woobie: How could I leave this one out? How COULD I? -Felix in his first stages, first Fallen when Edd first finds him -Kyle, when Oni was possessing him -Angel!Edd (this troper sees him more as an Iron Woobie when looking at the overall picture) -NotWE!Edd. Past the scary exterior, he's a huge softie. -Clyde the Lonely Shy Guy. Poor kid just wants to go home! Word of God: Felix Falora FIRMLY states that Trevor will NEVER get into a pairing. And if he does, it shall be short-lived and end tragically. -FF says the same for Kyle. -NN1, however, hopes Angel!Edd won't be single forever. It makes her depressed just to imagine Edd with no one to love. D: Worthy Opponent: the Wizard Yandere: Felix There ya go! More will be added when I find time to browse some more. And Felix, question, do you remember any moments of Narm in our plot anywhere? I feel like we do but I’m not remembering anything. XD

Well, I found it kind-of narmy on the discovery of Edd and Felix's sexuality... even though they loved women in the past
... what?
Actor Allusion- The remark of Vanessa being a vampire once was also a bit of a nod towards Olivia Olson's role in Adventure Time.
Affably Evil- Gothica. She's so timid and polite that if you didn't see her do evil misdeeds, have sense her aura, and/or hear her say something evil, you'll think she's isn't a villain at all.
Ascended fangirl- Dementia, who was a big fan of the Gantz/Edd stories.
Bare Your midriff- May Kanker, Faith, Blood Ace, Ambrose, Perry in its humanoid form, Stacy, Candace.
Berserk Button: Don't touch Dippy's cane. You'll regret it. - Also don't even think of harming any friend of Dementia's
Buttmonkey- May Kanker. She justified it as long due karma for the actions she has done to the three Eds in the past. - Bgal's Shade would suffer a small amount of this when first meeting Edd's team.
Characterization Marches On- Felix and how.
Cloning blues- Averted by Eddette, who's a clone, aware of it, but doesn't really care.
Complete Monster- Discussed(sort of), between No-Fanfic-tie-ins!Ed and Shade in 'Eternal healing'.
Completely Missing The Point- This user on several occasions.
Covert Pervert- Zombie Fox.
Crowning Moment Of Funny- Bgal's Shade application when referring to the assassin. That is all.
Cute Monster Girl- Averted with Dementia. She's more frightening than cute.
Dangerously Genre Savvy: Dippy. - Triple D has signs of this.
Dark Is Not Evil: Dippy is this most of the time. - Dementia is a good hearted person despite looking like a hybrid that has only partly transformed 24/7. - Zombie Fox. - B gal's Shade.
Deadpan Snarker- Faith, even when her arm torn off by Oni, she reacted with complete deadpan. - Eddette, when annoyed.
Disney Death- Angel!Edd in 'enter the reaper'.
Derailing Love interests- Subverted. Felix may appeared to fallen into this trope for the Seven/Edd pairing, but Prue told me that this was planned before she gave the idea. That, and was actually foreshadowed in earlier arcs.
Emotionless Girl- Faith, due to the lack of emotions programmed in herself.
Funny Aneurysm Moment- 'Kill this with fire' became this when it plays this out in a more serious light in "Near Endless Grief."
Genius Ditz- Dementia is one of the most naivee person you'll ever met, but she can make quite impressive working devices once set her mind to it.
Genre Savvy- Several of my characters
Good is not nice- Ambrose. She helps out with the war against Fuse back home, but her establishing character moment is insulting Adult!Edd for showing fear in a war.
Hartman hips- May, Perry in humanoid form
Has Two Mommies- Yagi and Eddette. - Marion used to have two daddies. Kyle was very shocked to figured out that she was biologically connected to said daddies.
Heterosexual life-partners- Dementia and Faith are always seen together. -Never and More.
Hidden Depths- Compare were-vamp Edd's characterization here with the one in the comics.
High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Dippy's circus. At least, her creator really hopes so.
Highly Visible Ninja- C-box!NN1, on several occasions.
I Just Want to Be Normal: Dementia's wish of having a human form, and a soul.
Incorruptible Pure Pureness- Subverted with Shade. She would be this, if it weren't for the fact that she has a porn addiction and has several cynical moments.
Jerkass- Ambrose. There's only two people she actually shows some compassion towards, and only one of them is here.
Jerkass Woobie: Felix
Jerk with a heart of gold- May is portrayed in this light.
Lampshade hanging- Deconstructed in a thread.
Les Yay: May/Heaven, who are a couple. Dementia/Faith, Never/More, and Isabella/Fem!Edd are better examples, as they may or may not have a relationship in that way.
May December Romance- Between Ferb, who's 14, and Vanessa, who's 20.
Moment Killer- NoTWE!Edd's fangs caused a cock-block.
Most Common superpower- Averted with Female!Edd, who has an A-size cup breast size, to the disappointment of some. -Faith and Ambrose has them, though. -Vanessa to a lesser extent.
Ms. Fanservice- Ambrose, Vanessa
Names the same- Sort of; Ferb's last name is Fletcher... and he's also British who speaks fluent French. - Shade, who has a name similar to an assassin that tried to killed Edd once, who god mods. And has a penis.
Never the selves shall meet- Averted. The other alternate Eddwards have met each other, with the only major side-effect is being rather mystified by it.
Only Sane Man: Faith, when dealing with Dementia. - Raz to Edd's team, especially in 'Near endless grief'
Painful Transformation- Night of the Were-Ed!Edd's transformation, as well as Blood Ace's.
Pintsized Powerhouse: Eddette, who managed to pinned down Trump and Jumpy, both of which implied to be pretty powerful.
Romantic Two Girl friendship- How would Isabella and Female Edd's relationship would develop.
Rhymes on a dime- Subverted with Dippy; though the average amount of her dialogue consisted of rhymes, she is cable of saying things without a rhyme in them.
Shipper on deck- Dementia is an in universe yaoi fangirl. She'll suggested the ship of Kyle/Edd in "sing out my sorrows"
Ship Tease- So much so with Kyle and Edd that it's ridiculous
The Stotic- Dippy Riddler. Not so stotic- But usually show happier emotions than anything else.
Super Powered Evil Side: Topic to May.
What Kind Of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway- Elwood's measurement power... it's no wonder he was surprised he had a superpower.

Things I feel need to be spoilered (which really isn't a lot considering we all pretty much know about all of the big plot developments of each others' plots) will be marked with this size text. Alien Blood: Well, demonic blood, anyways. Demons from the Devil Survivor universe have black blood. - Abel's blood turns the same color after he begins to lose his human form.Apologetic Attacker: Kyle whenever Oni makes him attack someone. Attempted Rape: Adachi tries to rape Chisaki after she confronts him about his past, but ends up killing her instead. (She got better.) Berserk Button: It's generally not a good idea to harm Seth in any way, because Abel will quite possibly murder you for doing so. Beware the Nice Ones: Kyle. Nice boy with shadow powers who is a bit of a pushover and lets everyone walk all over him. Is also violently protective of Angel!Edd and won't hesitate to strangle you to death with your own shadow if you hurt him. -Mr. Copycat. There's a reason most doppelgangers are afraid of him, despite his affliction and crippled leg. Big Damn Heroes Happens a lot. Body Horror: Happens quite a bit, mainly due to to the fact that a lot of RPers on here love watching their characters be tortured and there's more than a few transformation sequence fans on here as well. Tends to Almost always overlaps with Painful Transformation when invoked. -Some specific examples: --Both of Angel!Edd's monster transformations. --NotWE!Edd's werewolf transformation --Ryoji's transformation into Nyx Avatar --For a minor example, the scene when Abel gains his horns. ----For a fun note, the top two were done by NN1, and the last two for the very least were planned by FF, though only the last one was actually RPed by her, as Ryoji is played by Mugen. Says something about the main perpetrators of this kind of stuff, eh? Brick Joke: Early on in the Rei no Kaado plot, a few people are found hanging upside down from a cell phone tower at the El Grande Mall. After several visits to the mall and one ill-fated vacation, they're not mentioned again until Lucius appears on the other side after Takahashi is pushed into a TV.Break the Cutie: Occurred five years before the plot for Kyle as a result of Oni possessing his shadow and then graphically murdering Kyle's mother. Broad Strokes: Occurs often in regards to canon of various threads. FF tends to apply this in regards to her characters encountering other characters and events regarding that instead of a full canon reboot. (Word of God is this that a full reboot "takes too long.") Cain and Abel: Quite literally with (who else) Cain and Abel. Character Magnetic Team: Felix and Edd's group is the Most Triumphant Example, due to their plot being the largest and most involved on the site. -The main group in Rei no Kaado. Cloudcuckoolander: Mr. Orange. Cluster F Bomb: Just about EVERYONE in the Fun Family Reunion, but Kyle and Gantz get the grand prizes, Kyle for it being the first time he swore ever, and Gantz for it being his first uncensored F bomb. Creepy Doll: Eriol, Kerro, Yui, Tick, and Tock are all these. Creepy Monotone: Abel gains one of these after becoming the King of Bel. Just how creepy and monotone-y it is depends on how much of his human personality is in control. -Hitoshura has one as well, but his is almost constant so long as he's not masquerading as a human. Crossover: The whole point of the site. Crowning Moment of Awesome: Kyle freeing himself from Oni. -Ellie exorcising a ghost from Tara's body. It must be read to be believed.-The Tree vs. Gantz fight, proving that one should never underestimate furries carrying dead fishes or glasses wearing guys who go by "Mr. Gun." Crowning Moment of Funny: Kyle finding out who Marion's parents were. His next reaction is to come up with as many reasons he possibly can for her to be the daughter of two male individuals, all of which not even considering MPreg as an option. -The main Rei no Kaado group finding out Naoto was actually female by splashing her with water while she was wearing a white t-shirt. -- And related, Minato's Flat What after finding out about Souji losing the ability to summon a Persona.Curse Escape Clause: Warren is cursed to act like an actual rabbit until he experiences true love. -Subverted by Oni, who specifically made it so his and Kyle's blood pact wouldn't have an escape clause. Kyle still manages to break the blood pact by following it to the letter, and then beating Oni out of his body.Dark Is Not Evil: So very much. For specific examples, Kyle, whose powers literally involve controlling darkness. Deal With The Devil: Adachi makes one of these to help Bakura get free from Anpu. It doesn't work. Death is Cheap: Take a look at the Death List. You can name the characters that haven't come back on one hand. -It's two thanks to Abel. -Thanks Abel. -.- Demonic Possession: Oni's main sctick is pulling this on people so he can get a new body. Kyle used to be one of his hosts, but Aileen's currently Oni's host. Distaff Counterpart: Eddette and Female Edd Does Not Know His Own Strength: Abel. At one point, he nearly killed Seth because he was trying to get him out of the way of an attack. Drop the Hammer: Ark and Infi-FF both wield rather large hammers. Enemy Mine: Flamel's group and the heroes briefly teamed up against the Wizard. Fantasy Kitchen SinkFingore: Abel finds out Dark Malik attacked Seth. How does he react? By breaking all the fingers on Dark Malik's hand.Flat What: Minato's reaction to finding out Souji has lost the ability to summon a Persona.-A general reaction of MANY characters upon being faced with some of the insanity of what goes on here. Fluffy the Terrible: The Great Doom Mutant, Messenger of Yggdrasil, Ratatosk the First. Also known as Hammy.Funny Animal: The majority of the various anthropomorphic animal characters. Girl Scouts are Evil: Lili, Lili, Lili again, and did I mention Lili? God in Human Form: Souji is one of these, to a degree. It's really not clear if he's an offshoot of Izanagi created to inhabit Izanagi's human body or Izanagi himself. It's to the point he's not quite sure what he is himself. - By "Spear of Hope", things have finally been sorted out. Souji is Izanagi's human form, but the Persona ability Izanami granted broke him into two halves: a human side with the emotions and personality of the Izanagi before Izanami's death, and a spirit side with the memories and personality of the Izanagi after Izanami's death. By thread end, they've merged back into one being again.-Amaterasu is this, just with a wolf. Grand Theft Me: This is one of Enjin's powers. -Izanagi attempted to perform this on Souji at one point, but failed after only a few hours in Souji's body. His attempt on Adachi's body went a bit more successfully.Groin Attack: Chisaki knees Adachi in the groin after he tries to rape her. Hair Raising Hare: Warren when the glasses come off. Handicapped Badass: Mr. Copycat Heel Face Turn: Several characters end up pulling these through plots. Horned Humanoid: Abel eventually gains horns as a sign of finally losing his human shell.Ho Yay: Kyle and Edd, dear GOD. The other characters in RP (namely Trevor) have not been blind to this, and often tease Kyle about it, which leads to... Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual TodayHuman Aliens: Chip and Gogo's species in name only. -The Doctor is a more true example of this, though in his opinion, humans look Time Lord. I Did What I Had To Do: Adachi. I'm a Humanitarian: Chip enjoys the taste of human brains, and it can be assumed his entire species is the same way. Impaled With Extreme Prejudice: Chisaki's ultimate fate. (She gets better.) Improbable Weapon User: Several Continuing Saga-verse characters are these. For example, Tree uses a large firebreathing fish as a weapon. I Know Your True Name: One of Oni's powers allows him to figure out someone's true name and use it to control them. Due to the circumstances of their split, Kyle also possesses this power now. I Want My Beloved To Be Happy: Kyle is a non-romantic example of this toward Angel!Edd. Lampshade HangingLate Arrival Spoiler: Pretty much guaranteed for anyone who tunes into RP events later on after not having glanced at a plot in a while. Limited Wardrobe: It's really easier to name the characters that avert this. Literal Split Personality: Souji is actually one of these in regards to Izanagi. In their case, they're split personalities of the original Izanagi, and have to become one being again for the real Izanagi to be whole again.Mad Scientist: FF plays herself as one of these in the Cbox. -And as of recent events, claims to be doing pro bono work now. How long that lasts will have to be seen. Make Out Point: The Clearing Mark of the Beast: Abel gains markings after his form starts becoming demonic. Moment Killer: Minato's inability to wrap a scarf around both his and Ryoji's necks certainly qualifies. -Minato does it again by calling Souji while he and Izanami are having a tender moment. Multiverse: The other whole point of the site. Never Shall the Selves Meet: If any of the alternate versions of Tree meet, the universe will supposedly implode. Infi-FF is only exempt from this because she's made of data, not flesh. Obfuscating Stupidity: Chip and Ark both have this in spades. Our Angels are Different: In spades. Doesn't help that different universes have different angels and the only consistent attribute seems to be a light alignment and wings. Our Demons are Different: Also comes with the territory. Naming the different kinds of demons on here is an exercise in futility. Our Ghosts are Different: Continuing Saga-verse ghosts cannot exist on the Island unless they reach a higher power level called Archghost, which gives them access to a new form and powers. Overly Long Name: One notable example is Tree. Her full name is Treetune Lunis-Icho Pteropus Conspicillatus, which, thankfully, she usually shortens down to Treetune L.I.P. Conspicillatus. Overshadowed by Awesome: Naoto, Kanji, and pretty much any of Yuugi's friends tend to be this. Naoto and Kanji have actually been completely forgotten at times. Paper Fan of Doom: Cbox!FF's favorite weapon. Playing With Syringes: Cbox!FF likes doing this, usually involving actual syringes filled with not-quite legal substances. Police Are Useless: Kenji Takahashi's squad in the Void City Police Department are trying very actively to avert this, despite the fact that all of them (save Adachi) are normal humans. Power Limiter: Abel eventually has one made for him because he can't control his demonic instincts. It also has the side effect of suppressing his demonic personality for the most part. He ends up breaking it when he attacks Dark Malik.Properly Paranoid: Ellie's homeworld was taken over by Doppelgangers pretending to be high government officials, so when she's not fangirling over whatever character she's met next, she's being extremely paranoid about everything.Screw Yourself: NotWE!Edd and Older!Edd Split Personality: Abel has his demonic Abel side and the human Keiichi side. - The god Izanagi has Souji and the spirit calling itself Izanagi.Split Personality Merge: Eventually happens with Souji and Izanagi in order to make the god Izanagi whole again. The Souji personality remains dominant, but he gains some aspects of the Izanagi personality.Split Personality Takeover: Atsuro and Seth are both working to prevent this from happening to Abel's human side. - They failed.Stepford Smiler: Tree Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum: Black Cat committed one of these in the past, and is currently trying to do it again, obviously having not learned his lesson from the first time. Survivor Guilt: Souji after Izanami is shot by Magatsu Izanagi. Superpowered Evil Side: Warren is an odd variation in that the "evil side" is actually his true personality. Running Gag: Doors get broken a lot in Rei no Kaado. -The Cbox has its own series of Running Gags. For ones perpetuated by Firebreath Fishslap: --FF punting people who do things she does not approve of. --FF experimenting on people, and specifically, turning Gantz into a clockwork abomination ---Which was just recently fixed. --FF linking to horrible and terrifying videos of some sort. --Neko Sugar Girls --Kappa Nitori --brb [insert action here] to prove my allegiance to Shagrath Talking In Your Sleep: Some of the things that Keiichi says while doing this end up being the first clues that there was definitely something up with him. The End of the World As We Know It: The Fall qualifies as this for the Multiverse.-Ragnarok as Flamel and Ford wish to cause it. The Glasses Come Off: Warren takes off his glasses to temporarily release his seal. The Woobie: Several. A few examples: Kyle, Angel!Edd, Bakura. Tomato in the Mirror: Souji is actually a Shadow due to the mechanics of how the avatar system works. However, it's been implied that Izanagi doesn't really know what he's talking about and that Souji and Izanagi's situation doesn't really fit any previous situation with an avatar, which is possibly leading to a much different Tomato in the Mirror moment... -As of "Spear of Hope", it's been revealed that Souji is indeed the god Izanagi, and the Izanagi he's been speaking to is a split personality with the memories of being Izanagi that Souji was missing.Uncanny Valley: Tick and Tock are known for invoking this effect. Unstoppable Rage: Abel's temper has lead to moments of this fairly often. It's actually due to his conflicting demonic and human sides, and if he was all human or all demon, they wouldn't occur. Voluntary Shapeshifting: This is the main power of the various Doppelgangers on the island. Weirdness Censor: The people of Void City have pretty much stopped acknowledging the weird stuff that happen right outside their front doors. Who Wants To Live Forever: This is why Flamel and Ford are trying to end the world, as they'll finally be able to die this way. Winged Humanoid: Several. Angels are a given here; Angel!Edd is known for his particularly impressive wings. Tree has wings, but they're completely useless. With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: The Apocalypse Angel position apparently is known for causing this among angels.

MY TURN.
Cool Mask: H.U.R.T.
Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Santa's gift to Angel!Edd in OMG! Santa's A-Coming! It was a coloring book; Edd was told to be as creative as possible to differentiate himself from the stoic, grey Wizard.
Heroic BSOD: Angel!Edd and Felix seem to get these every other month.
Hitman With a Heart: 4; at least, he has a heart compared to his comrades in the Executioners.
Knight Templar: Desmond. He has a reasonable excuse, but he might be taking it an eensy bit too far.
Mad Oracle: King Arkham. A little understandable, given his name.
Masked Luchador: Again, H.U.R.T. The guy just loves the masks.
Shout Out: Whenever 42Zombies mentions the House of Blue Leaves, he types the word House in blue. This is in reference to one of his favorite books, House of Leaves.
Stalker With a Crush: Though Trump's feelings towards Edd are more platonic, he does act fairly... creepy.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Wizard could arguably be considered one of these. In his own way, he's trying to protect the world.
Wrestler In All Of Us: Dr. H.U.R.T. Also, 42Zombies himself to a certain degree.

Absurdly Spacious Sewer: The sewer underneath the Interdimensional Travel Station links to the equally absurdly spacious sewers in Mario universe Rogueport and Code Lyoko's Boulogne-Billancourt. Animal Talk: Bear cub Koda and pink dog Courage meet in the park. Biological Mashup: Dr. Ty Rano sometimes does this. Bland Name Product: Used by Dan at least; he's not sure about everyone else. Cowardly Lion: Koops... as usual. Crossover: Nothing BUT. Everything's Worse With Bears: Subverted hard with Koda, and possibly Kenai if he ever shows up on the island. Funny Animal: Koda the bear cub Mind Over Matter and Psychic Powers: Practically everyone that shows up here from the EarthBound and Psychonauts universes. Punny Name: Of Dan's examples... - Claus Weastwood (Clint Eastwood) - Koopley Terrence Shelby Jr. (Terrence comes from Tourtoise and Shelby comes from Shell) - Kooper Sheldon Caeruleus (Sheldon's another Shell pun and Caeruleus is latin for blue for his plot-importantly blue shell) - PSI Guy (then again, it keeps to the theme of other Shy Guy sub-species) - Ty Rano (Tyrannosaurus rex; fits his king-sized ego) Wow... I didn't come up with much. EDIT Aug. 14, 2010 12:00 AM Eastern - Added EWWB and FA. Thanks for reminding me of those PAC.

Since I read TV Tropes a little bit, this could prove to be a fun distraction. I'll need you guys help since I don't have an extensive knowledge of the tropes. Adorkable: This trope is actually used to describe Twilight Sparkle on the 'My Little Pony Friendship is Magic' page on TV Tropes... And the word MORE then fits that egghead to a tee. She can either be a flat and sarcastic little thing, or an adorable little bookworm trying to adjust to the nuances of having friends. Adult Child: There are a few cases in this author's character selection that fit this trope. - Gantz is a justified example of this, being mature because of his experiences, however, being that he's 18, he is prone to temperamental outbursts, especially when he's REALLY ticked. - Kanata is like this as well. Justified in that he's half dog, and as thus, is naturally excitable. - Aaron (Or the Thief of Void as he's often known) also counts. While he's 17 years old, the events of DCstuck have forced him to mature a great amount. Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Kanata of Trinity Universe is this ever so much. But of course, given he has the mentality of a little kid combined with the fact that he IS half-dog (The other half being Demon king), this trope is rather justified. - This is also the case with Taokaka of Blazblue fame, as her bio strictly and clearly states that Tao may very well be A.D.H.D. INCARNATE.Blood Brothers: It's implied Gantz and Gene are this. Badass Angster: Otto, previous to his arrival on Dimensional Island, lost his girlfriend to his mortal enemy. Though it's not stated outright, his earlier appearances in Dimensional Clash has him with long hair covered by his trademark bandanna in an old school pledge of grief. He Gets Better later on and seems to turn into a type of Warrior Poet. Balance Between Good And Evil: Played rather straight and Literally with the Temple of Balance and it's two guardians Yin and Yang, who only exist to make sure said balance is always equal and never tipping in any one direction. - Recently it has become apparent that this is a favorite aesop for the author. Berserk Button: Misty is FILLED with these. One of the most prominent of these revolve around Otto (The Toon Town Otto, not the Arcadia Valley one). - Little Red Riding Hood from the Webcomic 'Everafter'; make her mad enough, and she will very likely slice you in half. - Also Gantz himself in the post-Him storylines (Distinctive by that he rarely goes anywhere without Rosaline in said threads), if you hurt any of his friends, especially Red or Rosaline, you will know what it's like to face down a rampant magic-casting Papa Wolf. - Flame Princess is practically MADE of these, being a character that's described as intense by her own creator. If you give FP ANY reason to get made, you will find yourself regretting your act. Big Bad: Him in the first, and current, Mr. Gun Plotline. - It's planned that Dark Matter and Nil will be the Big Bads in the next story arc. - Due to the first story being on a likely permanent Hiatus, the author now kills time with a storyline between him and DocZero. In said storyline, it's believed that Kavma is the main villain at first, until the villain is revealed to be Zero. But of course! Zero has NOTHING on Thaddeus.Cats Are Mean: Class of Heroes OC Vanessa plays this trope rather literally since her species is basically humanoids with cat like characteristics. She enjoys causing trouble and takes anything that she can find that she likes. Since she is a mercenary, she also doubles as Chaotic Neutral. - Averted in the case of Tao, who's probably the sweetest thing you will ever find. Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Subverted with Wally, whom, at first glance appears to be an airheaded Comic book geek with a Flighty personality. In truth though, Wally can be every bit as focused and level headed as his partner Otto. -This trope also applies to Kanata. -The Climber as well to some extent. - Continuing the tradition of Cloud Cuckoo Landers in the author's repitiore, Taokaka was added to the list. I repeat; A.D.H.D INCARNATE.Complete Monster: Kijin Kain plays this pretty straight. In the thread 'ALL OUT WAR!!!!!!', he interferes on a fight between fellow villain and Complete Monster Marx and several heroes, easily defeating a good number of said heroes with barely a shred of mercy. Him as an example of this trope is further cemented by the fact that Kijin is in fact, LITERALLY, a monster, being a Zinterou, a Reptile man. Thankfully, thanks to a mass killing he is directly responsible for, he died in the recently done thread 'Bloodbath in Bonsai... But is he really gone?- Discord from 'My Little Pony; Friendship is Magic'; See Evil is Stylish. Crazy Awesome: What the author is going for with the Character Lea-rew Res. Recently Lea was able to stun an Eldritch Abomination type of monster by SHOOTING AT IT WITH THE CANNONS ON HER AIRSHIP... DESPITE THE FACT THAT SAID AIRSHIP WAS SHOWN TO NOT BE WORKING PREVIOUSLY.-Which says a lot about her talents as a mechanic. Crouching Moron Hidden Badass: Again Subverted with Wally. Many times Wally does classify as an airhead, but make him mad enough, and he could be as strong as Otto. Unlike most heroes in this trope, Wally is fully aware of his own strength. - However, this is fully played straight for the Climber, whom, despite his lack of brains and muscle, he's being powered by a Chaos Emerald. Which could make him a very powerful fighter if otherwise provoked. - This is also the case for Taokaka. Like the Climber, she lacks brains, but she makes up for it with fighting potential. She specializes in super speedy attacks, and her multiple claw blades. Crowning Moment of Awesome: Though I do not feel entitled to naming these kinds of moments, there are a few honorable mentions for the characters I play; -Otto, upon first summoning his Chaos Rex form. -Gantz's reaction to Felix tossing aside Double D in the thread 'Fun Family Reunion? Don't be Absurd!'. Let's just say that if he emphasized his words with Summon Spells other then regular Black Magic, Bonsai Village might no longer be standing. Also doubles as something of a 'Break the Cutie' (Would name a better trope if I knew one) moment, as it shows just how powerful Gantz could be if truely enraged. Cute Bruiser: This trope is planned to be used for Rosaline. Though she originally starts off as the Distressed Damsal, Rosaline herself is a tough fighter, and trains herself enough that she can keep up with even Wally, a tough swordsman in his own right. - This is also the case for Prishe, though barely given her usual behavior The Chosen One: Ness from Earthbound... That's really all I have to say about that. Evil is Stylish: Discord is this OH SO MUCH, given his games are done beginning to end with a sense of flair and showmanship. While he is very much a Complete Monster though, he doesn't do any of what he does because he's evil... He does it because he's MISCHIEVOUS... Which, arguably, makes him a LOT worse. Five Man Band: (Though there's more then five members of this gang) Played rather straight with Gantz and his gang, which used to add on members regularly, whether it be because he's gathering up his old party from Toon Town or adding on new members on Dimensional Island. While it's never said out loud, and Gantz initially didn't want to travel with the gang due to the whole 'Him Incedent', the boy believes that there is strength in numbers. The members are as follows; - The Hero: Gantz (Though he doesn't like looking at himself as such) - Team Pet: Climber (Due to his lack of intelligence, though given, he is fast.) - The Smart Guy: Metal Sonic (Also doubles as a Deadpan Snarker, and The Lancer.) - Tagalong Kid: Tarosuke and Red (Though Tarosuke is much stronger then he looks. And Red borders on Heroic Sociopath, because, unlike her poorly written appearance on Gantz and Nutcase's RP's, is still mute and still crazy to some extent.) - The Chick: Rosaline (Gantz's Girlfriend though she doubles as a Cute Bruiser.) - Mr. Fixit: Gene (He is incredibly saavy with computers above all else, but dabbles in other kinds of technology.) - The Sixth Ranger: Lilia (Lilia is mainly fit into this trope because of her late (but quite effective) arrival to the fight between Gantz's gang and nihilistic bounty Hunter Taz.) And of course there's Clan Highwind's line-up to consider; - The Hero: Gantz (Yeah I know he was the hero of the previous list as well, but, in all effects he was the leader of Clan Highwind) - The Smart Guy: Marco (Though the second in command, Marco is very proficient with guns, and is even rumored to have created his own bazooka once.) - Big Brother Mentor: Issac (This ronin is Marco's best friend and one of the clan's founding members.) - The Medic: Luna (Also doubles as The Chick, though don't you DARE think that's all Luna can do. Like Gantz, she is a capable summoner, and some of her normal spells are 'Stat boosters'.) - Mentors: Roland (Somewhat subverted, given that while he is old and has served as a Mentor to Gantz, he is not all-powerful, though he IS a proficient magic user. Also unlike most normal mentors, he doesn't die at some point during a story previous to Dimensional Clash.) - The Lancer: Lukino (This is somewhat played straight since Lukino's moral code is slightly more askew compared to his clan members, good guy though he may be.) - Cool Big Sis: Rosaline (Though not technically a big sister to anyone in the clan, and isn't one of the older members, Rosaline counts due to how it's planned that she and Luna will interact with each other in an upcoming fic. However, it's planned that this trope will be somewhat subverted in Rose's case in the fic, while in Dimensional Clash this is played straight, in a way.) - Sixth Ranger: Jarvis (Somewhat subverted; though this Seeq addition to the team is quite useful as a proficient hunter, he is not really all that cool, and is usually played up for for comic relief, mostly by having him react off of his good friend Lukino. Heck, in an upcoming fanfic by Gantzgun74, it's stated outright that he joined Clan Highwind in the hopes to get rich.) Fun Personified: Wally, if not because, when he's not being a serious character, he's very goofy. Heck, it's due to his nature that DC's mascot is Wally in a Cheerleader uniform. Gantz can count as this too, since he likes having fun in his spare time. God Is Good: Gantz readily, and even in some cases naievely, believes this, as shown in 'Fun Family Reunion', when he rebukes King's comment that God ruins people's lives without reason. This line is subtle since it's implied that Gantz believes that the god of the storyline is ruining Felix's life because he brought it upon himself.
Heel Face Turn: Metal Sonic of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. As he appears in gantzgun74's character repitiore, he appears to go under a massive character transformation that turns him into a sarcastic, but still rather thoughtful Warrior Poet. This is actually a Shout Out to a popular fanfic on Fanfiction.net called 'Metal Overdrive'.
Heroic BSOD: It's hinted that Alex!TOV (Thief of Void), is going through one in the midst of his role in his current storylines. Specifically, he is purposefully avoiding any of his old friends because he believes himself to be a monster due to his powers. He sorta counts as a Woobie in a few cases.
Home Base: Gantz's Estate is a primary example; it also has so much magical protection placed on it that it even doubles as a bunker.
It Sucks To Be The Chosen One: Gantz is an example of this trope as, previous to arriving on Dimensional Island (And even WAAAAY longer before that back in his first appearance in Crossover Bros Brawl), he is apparently named a 'Child of Destiny' (The reason as to WHY will be revealed when and if I ever get that far)... Though all that title seems to have given him is a universe of misery; Failing to protect friends (Understandible though since he did not have the power too but he blames himself anyway), given no choice but to kill people, and a lot more as he gains the magical prowess he has today. The reason for all of this misery? To claim the right to EXIST. Poor dude... - I suppose, in a way, this is also the case for the Vagabond. He's traveled his world up and down multiple times in his various journey's in order to help younger members of his species complete their own quest. How does he get rewarded for it? By apparently getting sent to Dimensional Island. - This is also the case for Aaron, the Thief of Void from DCstuck... Really... Do I NEED to say more?
La Résistance: An upcoming storyline started by ShadesofGrey18 promises the creation of a Brotherhood of Assassins (The group well known in the Assassin's Creed games) on Dimensional Island, to take on a group of Templars that have arrived on the Island. Vanessa, the Black Cat Samurai has also recently joined the Assassin's, invited by Ezio himself.
Order Versus Chaos: The Temple of Balance is basically the 'Order' side of this spectrum. Chaos is what happens when the Balance of the Temple is thrown in any one direction, whether it be good or evil.
Part Time Hero: This is played straight for many of Gantzgun74's heroes as, when their not kicking butt and taking names, they do what they can to live an otherwise normal life. Wally lives this trope to an extreme, as he, outside the view of an RP thread, often uses his freedom to do whatever he pleases.
Punch-Clock Hero: This is basically what the entirety of Clan Highwind is in a nutshell. Though really, they are basically noble heroes (Well with at least one ill-tempered exception that fights for the fun of it).
Reality Warper: A few of the villains under this author's jurisdiction count as this. -Him -Discord -One character is even a good guy and counts as this; -Tabitha (Very very close to an aversion though, but the fact that she turned a goddess to stone, ACCIDENTALLY if I might add, has to count for something.)
Religious Bruiser: Gantz. Justified since his author counterpart is, in fact, Christian himself.
Sociopathic Hero: This trope describes Shantotto to a tee; she is only a hero by name, and, by default, treats people like crap for various reasons. The most normal reason is so she can experiment on people and learn more about their kind and how they'll react. - This is also, in a sense, the case for Panty. She actually cares little about her own job, and sleeps with any man she can find... And when she DOES focus on her job, she doesn't really care too much if someone gets hurt while she's fighting a ghost.
Squick: Cheer Wally; YMMV however as many people find the personification of Wally hillarious.
Sunglasses at Night: Gantz, or Mr. Gun, is an example of this, as he's rarely ever found without his trusty pair of sunglasses covering his eyes.
Super Mode: Otto and Wally are examples of this trope as both of them are in contact with powers that can easily give them these abilities. -Otto is taken to a literal example with his Chaos Rex form, which is a force of nature transformation that can be summoned PURELY by sheer temperament. -Wally seems to have the ability to do similar but on a much smaller degree, as shown in 'Monkey See Doggie Three part 2'... Though it's subverted as Otto immediately reveals that the show was merely a scare tactic. -Kosumu is hinted to having a this as well, but is just not violent enough to summon it by will.
The Lancer: Gene Gun, Gantz's genetic copy, possibly an ex Thief of Void and cyborg clone is often seen as this, as, since he looks at Gantz as a brother of sorts. This can also be the case for Metal Sonic, whom is a skilled gunman and has shades of super strength and speed.
Tomboy and Girly Girl: The author does have a few notable pairs consisting of this trope. - In Gantz's group, we have Misty as the Tomboy, and Rosaline as the Girly Girl. The latter is a bit of a stretch since Rose can be just as tomboyish, but it's fitting in that she's not as naturally temperamental as Misty.
Too Dumb To Live: Kanata has shades of this. But, again, that's because he's half-dog and has the attention span the size of gnat.
True Neutral: Shantotto (And Later Vanessa), as she has no real interest in acting like a hero unless it's a passing fancy. The only REAL exceptions to this, are when she meets Him, and she realizes that his plans mean to literally destroy all organized society on Dimensional Island. Whenever asked about this now, Shantotto just says that she 'Did what she had to do'.
I'd put up more, but I'm out of time for now. I'll update this when I find more time.

Ancient Conspiracy - The Sil Agency (aka the modern Sheikah) that character Prince Sheik belongs to, albeit of the rare good force that does evil things sort. Let's just say it's rarely possible to direct history of any world by being nice about it.
Animation Bump - Well, a sort of literary equivalent. Members MugenGinga and FirebreathFishslap are known for a bump in writing quality in long anticipated and/or important plot threads. This is often expressed via longer posts, better imagery, and more attention to detail.
Alternate Continuity - Responsible for most of the Alternate Universe characters on site. Canonical examples such as the Sailor Moon manga vs the live action version do exist. Some examples, such as the Supernatural characters, masquerade as Alternate Timelines until you realize that those timelines ignore backstory details.
Alternate Timeline - The standard result of canon characters being pulled before the end of their canon. Specific franchises include Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yuu Yuu Hakusho.
Alternate Universe - Done very deliberately on the part of many members, to the point that a rule even exists for it. A notable example MugenGinga and EdgeMaster025's Super Mariya Sisters, which is basically a universe wide gender bend of Super Mario Brothers. With cat ears/tails on the human cast.
Art Evolution - Of a more literary variety. Most of the members on site cringe at posts from a year or more back. Character applications also fall under this.
Artifact of Doom - The Millenium Items, if only because Atem didn't die due to a fanmade Alternate Timeline and the things are still bouncing around and causing massive problems.
Berserk Button - Do not harm Yuugi, Atem will stop at kicking your ass if you're lucky. Worth mention even beyond the canonical cases of this because they aren't "just friends" anymore. Worth note is that with just insults, Kaiba seems to have his finger on this lately.
Black Speech - The native language of demons in Abel's home world. It is impossible to perfectly reproduce by humans (although interestingly, the one that comes the closest is rather evil himself). Having this as a base language is what is responsible for the "demonic" sound demons speaking in human tongues sometimes have.
Boys Love - Because some of the Ho Yay is considered canon to the various plots. And yes, some of them go that far, albeit in private. User MugenGinga much prefers to use this term due to the Japanese connotation of shounen-ai (Shotacon, if you're curious). Examples from her plots include MinatoxRyoji and AtemxYuugi. Break the Cutie - Abel and Seth very well might qualify. Both due to the same series of events, Abel's taking of the Throne of Bel. Seth's was more drastic, as his Corrupt the Cutie flat out Broke after he was tortured just cause some demon thought he recognized his essence. He did, but that doesn't exactly wave away a week of intensive torture.
Camp Straight - Prince Rose of the Super Mariya Sisters crack Alternate Universe set up by users MugenGinga and EdgeMaster025. His outfits aren't horribly feminine, but his personality is of the sort he'd probably be accused of being anything but straight.
Chessmaster, The - Shadi as he is played by MugenGinga. Long story short, you can blame how the Items distributed themselves almost entirely on him. Did I mention he's Malik's distant ancestor and did what he did to Malik on purpose?
Combat Sadomasochist - Dark Malik. The one time he seemed to defy that was because he thought he was going to die. It's arguably the only way he doesn't fit it. Pain is fine, but he wants to live through the experience.
Crowning Moment of Awesome - Cain summoned the fricken Horsemen Of The Apocalypse[/b] for a fight... and that isn't even why its this trope! The trope is that he did this not to win, but to stall for enough time to convince a family member to take his life. It Makes Sense in Context. - When the mods sync up together, amazing things happen. An event with a series of problems in the CBox were handled by the teamwork of MugenGinga and FF (they were the mods on at the time) and it was nothing short of beautiful.
DePower - When the Hands of Blue team known simply as Agents X and Y hit Zero with an odd bit of programming, the world destroying sentient virus with the power to delete things from reality pretty much became human.
Discontinuity - Used with some characters and plots, for various reasons. Some are more justified than others. Examples include MugenGinga's treatment of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and 5Ds (although this can be explained via an Alternate Timeline) for more malicious reasons, and the expanded Firefly universe with the Firefly canons for plot reasons.
Evil Albino - Formerly Zero Nada. The Heel Face Turn removed (most) of this, though.
Exposition Fairy - Played completely straight by the faerie Bry. MugenGinga's Link from her Legend of Zelda setting needs someone to tell him what's going on. She's not as nice as Navi tended to be, though...
Fairy Companion - Bry the faerie again, and once again straight. She is almost always either seen at Sheik's side, trying to get back to his side, or doing something that directly helps him or his goals.
Fairy Sexy - Bry. She also gets quite creative with the covering with what are nothing more than tiny cloth bandage strips. Of course, this is when she's letting you see her.
Four is Death - Quite possibly the user MugenGinga's favorite trope. If 4 turns up in a post of hers, you can bet it'll be some variation of this. Multiples of four aren't guaranteed to be a twist on this, but they are still suspect.
God In Human Form - Sayuri is Izanami, Haytham is Ra, Faisal is Osiris, and Asim is Obelisk, who isn't technically a god but user MugenGinga has Fanwanked him into being a personification of the Nile.
Heel Face Turn - Zero Nada, whose original goal was to destroy all reality. Now he's part of Firefly Canon Malcom Reynold's crew... whether he realizes it yet or not.
If It's You, It's Okay - Ryoji Mochizuki of Persona 3 (and related) is in a full blown relationship with Minato Arisato from the same setting. Ryoji gives no implications whatsoever of being anything but straight in canon and has no interest in other guys (and still hits on girls!). However, there happens to be recent canon evidence for it working under this trope due to some lines from Ryoji on the female route in Persona 3 Portable... although user MugenGinga was calling the pairing as this even before that evidence popped up.
Killed Off For Real - Tadashi "Kaido" Nikaido in the Rei no Kaado plot was killed by Hitoshura. Word of God states he is staying that way.
Man in White - Zero, who dresses almost entirely in white with some light greys thrown in for variety. Word of God says he'll keep dressing that way even though he can't magically delete stains like he used to. See his entry under Nerf.
Nerf - Zero Nada, who is supposed to be a trying to have a Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum. His powers were even on the mend to allow it to be possible. It started with Firefly canon Mal's World of Cardboard Speech and reached the current point due to the the Hands of Blue forcing him to DePower. He went from a nigh invincible world destroying sentient virus to something that is for all extensive purposes human.
Ninja - Sheik, albeit in the anything but historically accurate sense. He even manages the black clothing!
OC Stand In - MugenGinga's character Anpu is an interpertation of Thief King Bakura from Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters canon. The character doesn't even have a single line (although his body does.)
Plot Tumor - Surprisingly averted in a plot with a large focus on Yu-Gi-Oh! characters. The cards are still there, but the game isn't a huge focus.
Red Eyes Take Warning - Zero Nada, complete with being a White Haired Pretty Boy. A slight Heel Face Turn managed to remove his Evil Albino status, though.
Reincarnation Romance - Set and Kisara were reincarnated as Seto Kaiba and Kisa. Potential squick of the pre-existing version replaced with Kaiba's belief that he can decide his own destiny as The Unchosen One.
School Uniforms Are the New Black - Interestingly, still pulled by Yu-Gi-Oh! canon Yuugi Mutou, even though he hasn't been in his world for a solid five months. It's his most common outfit. To a lesser extent, all three of the Rebirth of Destiny (modern Legend of Zelda fanfiction by MugenGinga) mains arrive on the Island in their school uniforms.
Shirtless Scene - Zero after Firefly/Serenity Canon Mal broke his ribs performing CPR (see his entry under Nerf). He had to take his shirt off so doctor Simon from the same canon could apply a brace.
Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum - Zero's entire (original) purpose was to destroy every world and then himself. Lucky for existance he got Nerfed!
Superpowered Evil Side - Malik Ishtar has Dark Malik. Akhar Chikara has Ganondorf. Thief King Anpu serves a similar enough function to Ryou Bakura. Original characters Alex and Jon have versions formed from the Deadly Sin most prominent in their souls. In other words, MugenGinga has a lot of characters with it.
The Unchosen One - Seto Kaiba. He doesn't even believe in nonsense such as fate, magic, and other nonsense most of the time. In the rare cases you can convince him of such, he decides to follow this trope.
Too Kinky To Torture - Dark Malik, who has been known to laugh both in his canon and in his plots on site when someone is cutting into him... and purposely not dodge many attacks.
White Haired Pretty Boy - Zero is of a pretty typical variety. While no longer outright evil, he's still not the type to even consider Petting the Dog.
Woman Scorned - Yuu Yuu Hakusho original character Mitsuyo towards Kurama. In a case of Alternate Timeline with a fair bit of Fanwanking, she was involved with Kurama back before he was forced to take over that fetus. Disagreements about Yomi and a massive fight later... well the attack that injured him wasn't exactly random.... Part of an Alternate Timeline development.
World of Cardboard Speech - Malcom Reynolds of Firefly fame is not unknown for these. He gave one to sentient virus Zero Nada, effectively effecting his programming and accomplishing Step 1 of his Nerf.
Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series - Referenced in plot for humor by Atsuro Kihara (in... "English") when he first met Seto Kaiba. He understandably didn't take it very well...

Tropes featured with SWL's works include:
Leitmotif: The Limousines's "Dancing at Her Funeral" for Arti. Token Evil Teammate: Arti for the DCstuck crew, though downplayed, as he's more of a token mean teammate.
SWL himself is associated with the following tropes:
All There In The Manual Art Evolution Five-Bad Band: -Big Bad: SWL -The Dragon: Gantz -The Evil Genius: Shades -The Brute: Ryo -The Dark Chick: Dmis -Token Good Teammates: Evan and Swift (aka their "probation officers") Sir Swears-a-Lot: Moreso in real life
YMMV:
*Crowning Moment of Funny: -Arti getting meta in "Thief, Rogue and Mage"

Alrighty, let's see what I can come up with here...
Alternate Universe: All my Touhou characters come from an alternate Gensokyo; one whose timeline branched off from the canon Gensokyo when Michael was abducted by Yukari.
Blown Across the Room: Yugi's and Suika's punches, Michael's Subsonic Backblast spellcard, Marisa and Yuka's Master Spark, Alice's Return Inanimate spellcard, and Sanae's Omikuji Bombs. Also, Aya's "Sarutahiko's Guidance" spellcard.
Berserk Button: Yuka; getting her flowers damaged. Suika; having her bust size made fun of. Yugi; someone else touching her sake dish (Felix's character Leslie learned this the hard way...). Sanae; being mocked or compared to Reimu unfavorably, insulting Kanako or Suwako. Michael; making a Moe girl cry. Rainbow Dash getting exposed to Cupcakes and basically getting Mind Raped through it flipped Michael's button big time.
Blood from the Mouth: After Michael got impaled by Kefka's Havoc Wing, he got this. Unfortunately, Rainbow saw it in all it's goriness...
Blow You Away: Aya. 'Nuff said.
Break the Cutie: All my pony characters had something bad happen to them when they entered Dimensional Island... with varying amounts of course. Rainbow Blitz had a minor crash that knocked the wind out of him, Soarin' took quite a bit of damage from trees, then crashed, and Braeburn... well, the perky cowcolt wasn't so perky after his and Rarity's run-in with the cultists. Killing for the first time will do that to a guy.
Bullet Hell: Touhou characters. Nothing more need be said.
Cool and Unusual Punishment: in this Gensokyo, the Watatsuki sisters were defeated; Toyohime by using Utsuho to launch a miniature sun at her, which blew up in her face when she tried to use her fan, Yorihime was beaten by Michael making "Friday" play in her head constantly, distracting her long enough for Reimu to hit her with Fantasy Heaven.
Crash into Hello: Aya and Momiji with Ed and Eddy, and once again for Aya with Rainbow Dash.
Crazy Awesome: Marisa. 'Nuff said. Also, my thread "Of Rainbows, Dolls, and Sparks" with Felix. Starts as a normal thread; goes to Rainbow getting scared of Yukari, Two epic Danmaku battles (between Marisa and Patchouli and then again with Michael and Alice) in which both sides use their flashiest Spellcards, and before it starts winding down, Michael offers to teach Rainbow how to use Danmaku. I repeat. Rainbow Dash. With Danmaku. Run for cover. XD
Death is Cheap: For Mokou, anyway... the rest of Gamzee's victims weren't so lucky.
Deus Ex Machina: Sanae's power can do this, but she can't control it.
Drunken Master: Suika and Yugi, Suika especially.
Eleventh Hour Superpower: Last Words. Everyone has one.
Fantastic Racism: (This) Sanae is Sanae A from UFO. Therefore, she isn't the most hospitable towards Youkai. She isn't stupid, though; and knows not to insult the wrong Youkai (Yuka or Yukari, to name a few.)
Girl on Girl is Hot: At least, Michael thinks so.
Guilty Pleasure: During his little stay in Gensokyo after resolving the Ten Desires Incident, Michael looked up the new My Little Pony series after recalling Ellie's comments about it. He got hooked pretty quickly. Rainbow is his favorite; she reminds him of Aya.
Guns Akimbo: Michael's Spellcard, "Staccato Sign: Danmaku Gunfire" and it's Hard and Lunatic variation "Staccato Sign: Danmaku Desperado," in which he moves fast enough to get a slight blur.
Heroic Sacrifice: Michael uses his stabbed position to blast Kefka towards Patchouli; he dies shortly afterward (though He Got Better)
Heterosexual Life Partners: Rainbow Blitz towards Butterscotch; unknown if it is returned in the same way.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Kefka's Havoc Wing went completely through Michael's stomach. See Heroic Sacrifice entry for how Michael used it to his advantage.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Pretty much any of the Touhou characters I have, save for Mike, could fall under this. Rainbow Blitz is definitely one, though.
Luminescent Blush: Michael, out of embarrassment when his mind snapped out of his fanboying over Rainbow after nearly glomping her, and again when she praised him and Aya's Danmaku match. Went straight past Luminescent and right into Face-Encompassing when Rainbow spread her wings while he was opening her Chi pathways (She was doing it to feel the breeze)
Make Me Wanna Shout: Michael's power. Overlaps with Glass Shattering Sound.
Miko: Sanae.
Moe: ...None of my characters, actually. Michael has a weakness to this, though.
Moment of Awesome: The battle between Yuka and Evil Ryu was one, with Yuka using her Last Word for the first time. Also, both times we of DC had a "Rave Party" RP in the Cbox. Including, the first time, Eridan getting drunk off of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and the second, the appearance of DJ PON-3.
Most Common Superpower: Mamizou, Yuka, and Yugi.
Mundane Utility: Michael's Sound Manipulation power, which has several possibly very deadly applications, is usually used by him as...a personal jukebox for whatever is going on. 9 times out of 10, he's using it to put background music to fights.
Musical Assassin: Michael, again. More musical than assassin, but he can do things like this.
My God, What Have I Done?: Braeburn has this after his encounter and subsequent killing of two cultists. Fortunately, Rarity is able to break him out of the Heroic BSOD he was going into.
Nosebleed: Though he hasn't gotten one in Dimensional Clash yet, Michael gets these from time to time, either due to excess Moe or because he's somewhat of a Yuri Fanboy (Addendum: He now has gotten one, courtesy of Fluttershy and her Moeness...)
Pettanko: Suika. Marisa, Alice, Momiji, Sanae, and Aya fall between this and Most Common Superpower.
Petting Zoo People: Momiji and Aya. Aya overlaps with Winged Humanoid Also, now the Tanuki Mamizou Futatsuiwa has joined.
Precision F Strike: Michael doesn't typically swear out loud; but he has on two occasions; saying "shit" when Kuzon had his Heroic BSOD (Thanks in part to him) and dropping a "fuck" when Kefka showed up. Now included... another "shit" when he heard of Gamzee's rampage from Mokou. Now, he's a little more liberal with his curses.
Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Rainbow Blitz as the Manly Man to Butterscotch's Sensitive Guy.
Shout Out: Michael's "Danmaku Gunfire" Spellcard references Dante's MVC3 incarnation (The stance shifting and Yahoo at the end) and Duodecim Laguna (Go, go, go! is what Laguna says at the start of his EX burst)
Something Else Also Rises: Hasn't happened yet, but with Rainbow Blitz... who can say? Might happen with Soarin' as well...
Stealth Hi-Bye: From time to time, I have popped into CBox to drop a Video (Usually with Touhou music) or a picture (Usually... about ponies... don't judge me!), then vanish for a while.
The Alcoholic: Suika and Yugi.
Theme Music Power Up: All my Touhou characters can do this through varying methods.
Tranquil Fury: After Rainbow has "Cupcakes" forced into her mind, Michael snaps, though his face remains completely neutral.
Tsundere: Alice. Type B, towards Marisa.
Vomit Discretion Shot: Both Soarin' and Braeburn have their moments; Soarin' when he got images of "Cupcakes" in his head... which made him puke up the pie he had eaten, to his chagrin, and Brae when his hooves were stained with the blood of a cultist he had killed (unintentionally). Fortunately, as I had no interest in describing any part of the process, those moments were left like this. Wave Motion Cannon: Marisa and Yuka's Master Spark.
