From venturedean:

Does your canon have a TV Tropes page? If so, tell us about some of the tropes associated with your characters.

Good thing we saved this one for a weekend, huh?

I actually surprised myself with this: Voodoo has an entry in Sociopathic Soldier. I quote: "Voodoo is a very self-restrained version. He doesn't kill anyone he shouldn't, but he does give it serious consideration on more than one occasion. His teammates make sure to tease him for this."

Iiiii actually haven't been thinking too much about this when I've been playing Voodoo - namely because it's been months since he's been on his side of the door, and therefore months since he was actually shooting people. But come to think of it, I have been playing him a touch too jolly. I was hoping to be able to pass off his use of comedy as a coping mechanism to stave off his PTSD/depression, but. Oops.

As for Mako:

Adorkable: he has his moments, not gonna dispute this. Watch the part where Asami hits him with her moped if you don't believe me.

Blue Oni: oh, most definitely, especially to Korra.

Chick Magnet: ...well he does pull himself into a love triangle with Korra and Asami. And Bolin, too - for the half-episode that lasted. My poor Borra shipper heart. Just let me die already, Bryke.

Dark and Troubled Past: his parents are dead. He's BATMAKO.

The Ditherer: ...regrettably, yes. The boy's a massive shitbird when it comes to conflict resolution. Asking your girlfriend if you can talk about The Kiss later? That just ain't right.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: This is basically what he is at his core. It's also what the fandom knows him best for.

Opposites Attract: this is like eighty percent of the Makorra dynamic, if not more.

The Stoic: I suspect most of it's due to his having to become a parent to Bolin very early on in life. Running numbers for the Triads and assuming a leadership position on a pro-bending team probably didn't help.

Undying Loyalty: to his brother. He's the only family he's got left.

UST/BST: This also describes much of the Makorra dynamic. Resolved now, though. The Makorra shipper in me is ecstatic. I'm a multishipping whore. You seriously don't want to know just how many people I ship Korra with. You really don't.

Hint: IT'S EVERYONE.

John Marston:

The Atoner: Red Dead Redemption. It's right there in the title.

Deadpan Snarker: is he ever.

Mr. Fanservice: haha whut

okie-dokie TV Tropes

Hot Dad: seriously what the fuck

Warrior Poet: for an orphaned gunslinger, he's surprisingly well-read. From what I remember, he recites Locke's tabula rasa almost verbatim during one of the Marshal Johnston missions, and is given to debating issues of government and politics with people, particularly with Johnston, Reyes, and De Santa.

[awesome_binomial_theorems]

The Study in Emerald TVtropes page is very small, by TVtropes standards, and doesn't have an attached character page, but there are a few tropes associated with Moriarty.

Staring Down Cthulhu: Moriarty seems completely unafraid of the Queen - he clearly understands that she's a figure to be afraid of, because he warns Moran, and later checks on his wellbeing during the opera, but he himself seems more or less unafraid.

Which is a little odd, given that these are Great Old Ones and they're supposed to be so fundamentally wrong they inspire trousers-wetting terror just as a matter of course.

Sherlock Scan: The page says it's mostly played straight with Moriarty, but we don't often see him do so, actually. Most of his investigation happens off-screen (so to speak), because the short story is more focused on world-building. We do see him, very early on, pin down the location of the murder before being told about it by the colour of the mud on Lestrade's boots.

[withherhands]

...damn you, I have to work today. Sorry patrons, can't help, have fallen down the TV Tropes hole.

[acts_of_gord]

TVTropes is the entire reason I got into Gordon's canon in the first place- because I kept finding references to this Gordon Freeman person all over it. So.

Half-Life: Badass Bookworm. That's kinda Gordon about six ways from Sunday, there.

No OSHA Compliance: Welcome to the Black Mesa Disaster Factory, people!

Action Girl: Hi, Alyx!

Crapsack World: AHAHAHAHAHA yeah.

Crowbar Combatant: Gordon is the trope namer.

Deus Ex Nukina: Shephard's not ever going to forget being forced to watch the G-Man turn Black Mesa into green glass.

Ghostbusters: Destructive Saviour. The amount of property damage the Boys do is absolutely insane. On the other hand, it beats the alternatives.

Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: They tend to do this to their movie adversaries, and in the cartoon Venkman actively told Big C that "I'm gonna turn you into calamari!" right before they used the Cyclone roller coaster, a lightning storm, their proton packs, and a certain amount of invocation of Nodens to push the big guy back into wherever it was he came from before assaulting Brooklyn.

Mad Scientists: Ray wants it known that he's met mad scientists, lots of them, and that he's about two notches below them on the That Boy's Not Right scale thank you very much.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: "What did you DO, Ray??"

Muggles Do It Better: 'Ancient god, meet unlicensed nuclear accelerator.'

Fallout: After the End. C'mon. Duh.

Alternate History: Oh, yeah. Starting a good ways back in minor regards- different construction techniques used on the Washington Monument than were used in the real world, a sound recording of Abraham Lincoln's voice existing- but ultimately splitting for real sometime after about 1945 or so.

Asshole Victim: Um... the United States. Seriously, the prewar Fallout U.S. was just.... that's putting it mildly.

Only Known By Their Nickname: Nobody ever actually uses the PC's name in the Fallout games. This is part of why I had the Brotherhood start calling Ellen 'Paladin 101' instead of using her real name.

Submissive Badass: The badass who shies away from the leader role. Example being given of 'Old Soldier: the badass who submits to Army leadership', I figure that applies to the Brotherhood of Steel and Ellen not particularly bothering to put herself in charge of anything despite being, y'know, kinda terrifying with guns.

Talking The Monster To Death: Can be done with the big bads of pretty much all the Fallout games. Ask President Eden.

Combat Medic: Arcade Gannon.

Straight Gay: Also Arcade Gannon.

[venturedean]

Ray wants it known that he's met mad scientists, lots of them, and that he's about two notches below them on the That Boy's Not Right scale thank you very much.

And that would be why we love Ray.

(Well it's one of the reasons I like him, anyway.)

[saphyria]

Sunshine
Action Girl: albeit very reluctantly

Badass Damsel: When kidnapped by vampires, she not only rescues herself, but also rescues an imprisoned vampire

Blood on these Hands: Even after the big bad is gone, he almost wins by sheer force of evil

Chef of Iron: Damn right.

Crapsack World: The canon quote that puts it best is: "I think the [myth of the] phoenix has at least a fifty-fifty chance of being true, because it's nasty. What this world doesn't have is the three-wishes, go-to-the-ball-and-meet-your-prince, happily-ever-after kind of magic. We have all the mangling and malevolent kinds. Who invented this system?"

Disappeared Dad: Along with the rest of his family.

Faking Amnesia: Rae fakes having forgotten traumatic events to get people to stop asking her about them.

Food as Bribe: You better believe it.

Girl Next Door: Rae is part the coffeehouse, which is a lynchpin of her neighborhood.

Locked out of the Loop: EVERYONE already knows about Rae's dad.

Meaningful Nicknams: Sunshine

Refusal of the Call/Took a Level in Badass: Though really reluctant to work towards saving the world, Rae does it anyway.

Wound that Will Not Heal: Ask her about her scars.

Your Cheating Heart: Yup. She has a nice, (likely-)human boyfriend, and a vampire.

Yrael: Most of his are self-explanatory

Anti-Hero/Anti-heroic Albino
Brilliant But Lazy
Cats are Mean
Deadpan Snarke
Eldritch Abomination
Quit Your Whining: SAM.
Sealed Evil in the Teddy Bear
Servile Snarker
Snarky Non-Human Sidekick
Enigmatic Minion
Token Evil Teammate
Hidden Agenda Villain

Zelgadiss

Anti-Hero: Type IV

Byronic Hero: Just look at that demeanor and backstory!

Conveniently an Orphan: Word of God says that Rezo killed Zel's parents.

Cursed with Awesome: Forget that his transformation gave him super-strength, super-speed, super-hearing, and an increased magical capacity, he just wants to be normaaaaaal!

Deadpan Snarker

Grumpy Bear: The most moody and melancholic of all the main cast.

I Just Want To Be Normal: See above

Insult Backfire: Likes it when frightened guards call him a "Heartless Sorcerer-Swordsman."

Jerk with a Heart of Gold

Knight in Sour Armor

Red Mage: See aforementioned sorcerer-swordsman remark

Red Oni/Blue Oni: The blue to Lina's red

Straight Man/Comically Serious: THIS WAY, ZELGABUNNY! He's the serious one of the group, which is a sad position to be in in an anime as silly as Slayers.

Ship Tease: With Amelia

[bjornwilde]

Chef of Iron has to be the best TV trope ever.

[pattersongs]

Mass Effect 2: Asexuality: Salarian. No sex drive, though found some asari melding offers interesting.

Atoner: Yes.

Deadly Doctor: "He's not a normal doctor! Normal doctors don't shoot people and leave the corpses out front as a warning!"

Dragon Age 2: Bad Guy Bar: The Hanged Man. Varric has a room there but everybody knows it's pretty much the place for scum to come and hang out.

Cain and Abel: ... let's just say things get ugly between Varric and his brother down the line.

Cut and Paste Environments: Look, I love the game, but Bioware's decision to use the same goddamn interiors for every warehouse, every cave complex, and every mansion in the game- just changing which doors open and which are blocked off- drove me RIGHT UP THE WALL.

Sequel Hook: This game is more obviously part two of a trilogy than Empire Strikes Back was.

Planet of the Apes: Human Aliens, Killer Space Monkey, Turned Against Their Masters, Twist Ending. NB: the twist ending of the novel is not the twist ending of the movies. Just sayin'.

The Iliad: Achilles In His Tent, in which the Greeks have a hard time for a good long while because Achilles is a whiny pouty little bitch.

.... I never liked him.

Badass: Everybody except Paris, who is a twerp.

Talking is a Free Action: The characters in the Iliad monologue worse than Ayn Rand characters.

Team Fortress 2: Ascended Fanfic. It's an official Valve-made sequel to an official Valve-made sequel to a Quake mod.

Color-Coded Armies

Evil Vs. Evil

[gorgonfondness]

Wow, I learned something today thanks to this DE. Dragon Song apparently sucks worse than I remember it. How is that even possible, one may ask? Because there's a sprint feature I never got that depletes your health. Ugh. Seriously, fuck you Dragon Song.

Lessee, tropes associated with Mia:

Armor-Piercing Slap: Oh yeah. Ask Nash. And Draco and Rabastan at this point.
Beta Couple: Canonwise, she and Nash are one along with Kyle and Jessica.
Elemental Powers: Mia, like all Ausas, is both An Ice Person and Playing With Fire.
Five Man Band: The Smart Guy: Mia is definitely knowledgeable during their journey.
Names to Know in Anime: In the original Japanese Sega CD, Mia was voiced by Yoko Asada.
Shrinking Violet: Though I'd say this kind of changed after her world-saving adventure.

Tropes associated with Lucas:

A Boy and His X: Here X is the traditional Dog.
Big Damn Heroes: Lucas has a moment at the end of Chapter 3 by calling in a baby Drago and its mom to take care of Fassad and some Pigmasks.
Carry a Big Stick: Lucas's main weapon.
Cutscene Incompetence: Yeah, Lucas should've been able to pull the damn Needle before the Masked Man got there. So I left him messed up from the shrooms so it at least made a little more sense.
Eleventh Hour Superpower: At the end of Chapter 7, Lucas will learn PK Love Omega.
Farm Boy: Yup.
Final First Hug: Fatally wounded by his own lightning attack, Claus stumbles forward for a final hug from Lucas.
Kid Hero: Like all Mother/Earthbound protagonists, Lucas is young, definitely preteen when our adventure starts and probably barely 13 or 14 at the oldest by the time it ends.
Heroic Mime: Only when you're playing him, though. He talks in Chapters 1-3.
I Miss Mom: Obvious Trope is Obvious.
Mushroom Samba: And Lucas doesn't like it one bit.
The Power of Love: Lucas's ability to pull Needles is directly related to his ability to use PK Love.
Sheathe Your Sword: Keeping in Mother/Earthbound tradition, you don't physically fight the final boss.
Shout Out: Lucas and Claus are named after the twins in The Book Of Lies.
Suspiciously Specific Denial: "N-n-n-no! He didn't take Dad's homemade knife and go into the mountains to kill the Drago!"

Due to the Knight's incredibly small part in Princess Tutu, there aren't really tropes associated with Lohengrin on the page. So I'm winging it here with some of his opera tropes and what I have down for his side of the story.

Animal Motifs: Like all of the Princess Tutu good guys, Lohengrin is associated with swans.
Cool Sword: The sword he'll leave for Gottfried (that will eventually end up in Fakir's hands) can fell any foe.
Knight in Shining Armor: Elsa describes his appearance in her dreams as this.
Knight in Sour Armor: What he becomes after Elsa dies.
The Last of These is Not Like the Others: Prince Siegfried, Princess Tutu, and Princess Kraehe are all clear expies from the ballet Swan Lake. The Knight here, however, has roots in the opera Lohengrin.
Love Epiphany: And the Knight isn't happy about it whenever it happens.
Second Love: Anyone after Elsa will be this.
You Can't Fight Fate: No matter what, the Knight is going to fall to the Raven.

[minkhollow]

Villains By Necessity actually does have a TV Tropes page. More impressively, I didn't start it (but I did fill in a good bit of what's there). Cata doesn't rate a mention, seeing as she has about five paragraphs of canon and three of those are a dream sequence, but Sam, however:

Blond Guys Are Evil, Color-Coded For Your Convenience, Luke I Am Your Father, My Name Is Inigo Montoya, Villain Protagonist (duh), and an on-page mention on Even Evil Has Standards:

"An assassin, who is explicitly stated by the text to be an agent of Evil, Sam still refuses to kill anybody who isn't his target while on an assignment. He also refuses to steal from his targets, and hates rapists so much that they are the one exception to the above no killing rule. This is in a book where the villains are the good guys, so it all works out rather well."

W13's TV Tropes page is huge. Claudia:

And This Is For..., Back to Back Badasses, Conversational Troping, Crossover Ship, Heroic Blue Screen of Death, Mundane Utility, One Of Us, Refuge in Audacity, Room Full of Crazy, Second Episode Introduction, Snark-to-Snark Combat, Take Up My Sword, Victoria's Secret Compartment, Wimp Fight.

Holy balls the Percy Jackson page is huge. Um. For Apollo:

A Form You Are Comfortable With, Annoying Younger Sibling... and that seems to be it. I'm surprised there wasn't anything about the horrible poetry.

[bjornwilde]

All of mine have pages

A few of my favorites for Ben Grimm are Remarkably Monsterous, Can't Switch It Off, Abiguously Jewish, Blessed With Suck, Deadpan Snarker and The Nicknamer. The team has far too many for me to list.

Val von Doom has Kid From The Future and Mini Dress of Power.

Jessica Drew has Arch-Enemy (Morgan Le Fay in her first comic), Berserk Button (Don't call her a skrull), Bound And Gagged (doesn't every super heroine go through this?), Guy Magnet, Hero With Bad Publicity, Ms. Fanservice (especially when drawn by Frank Cho), Ret Gone (where was she for all those years between New Avengers and her first series?), Sensual Spandex, Shock and Awe (bio-electric shocks), and Statuesk Stunner.

Hank McCoy (focusing on X-Men First Class) has Adorkable, Almost Kiss (Thank you Erik), Badass Bookworm, Birds of a Feather, Body Horror, Description Porn (can I tell you how cool Cerebro is?), and I'm walking away from the X-Men First Class page now....

Thalia Grace: Acrophobic Bird, Aloof Big Sister, The Archer, The Bus Came Back (Thalia always keeps coming back to canon), Cool Big Sis, and Improbable Aiming Skills. She has a lot from the Percy Jackson books, but I'm just going with Heroes of Olympus; though I do like Perky Goth (wait what? Snarky goth maybe) and The Snark Knight.

Palamedes has only a few: Character Title (the Saracen Knight or simply the Saracen), Historical Dominate Figure (while it could be argued that Palamedes isn't factual, his BFF is SHakespeare), Historical In-Joke (Palamedes is the inspiration for Othelo), Immortality, The Older Immortal(it's never focused on in canon, but Palamedes is over 1500 years old), and Who Wants To Live Forever. I am sure he could qualify for more, as he wasn't listed in the SotINF page, but I want to get stuff done today.

Andrea Nash: Action Girl, Badass Boast, Belligerant Sexual Tension (coming soon!), Beast Woman, Beta Couple (later in canon from where she is), Character Development, Dark and Troubled Past, Fantastic Racism, Half-human Hybrid, Healing Factor, Heroic Sacrifice (no comment), and so much more that I am going to stop there.

[cutting_edgex23]

X gets her own TV tropes page!

My favorites on there are:

The Ace -- from her time on New X-men, plus a few others
Dark Action Girl
Canon Immigrant -- she started off in X-Men Evolution
Badass Bookworm
Badly Battered Babysitter
Berserk Button
Blessed with Suck
Deadpan Snarker
Tyke bomb
Mook Horror Show
One Girl Army

[newredshoes]

There's a reason I never go on TV Tropes, because clearly it's AMAZING. Oh gosh, for Hotspur:

Agent Scully
Belligerent Sexual Tension (Harry/Kate, YUP)
Blood Knight
Boisterous Bruiser
Deadpan Snarker
Duel to the Death
Finishing Each Other's Sentences
Honor Before Reason (so, so, so much)
Killed Mid-Sentence
Lawful Stupid
Leeroy Jenkins (TRUTH)
The Paragon Always Rebels (*weeps*)
Polly Wants a Microphone
Too Dumb to Live (*facepalm*)
Unaccustomed As I Am To Public Speaking

[saphyria]

Hotspur would totally rush into battle yelling "HAAARRRRRYYYYYY PERRRRRRCYYYYYYYYY!"

Totally would.

[minkhollow]

Discworld is so huge that it's broken down by book. MAKES MY LIFE EASIER. Imp:

Bilingual Bonus, Dead Artists Are Better (well, that's what the music thinks...), Elvish Presley, The Power of Rock (and The Rock Star, naturally).

ahahaha do I even want to attempt Harry Potter, especially knowing I plan to subvert most of Regulus' canon anyway. but if he doesn't merit a Heel Face Turn I'll be mightily surprised. Sticking with Deathly Hallows since that's the one with the backstory:

The Atoner... wow, they don't have him on the Heel Face Turn list. Huh. Posthumous Character, Redemption Equals Death (coupled with Senseless Sacrifice, which HELL YES).

And that leaves up with OUaT. So, for Red and Ruby alike:

Action Girl, Adaptational Badass, The Big Bad Wolf (of course), Fire-Forged Friends, Legacy Character, Our Werewolves Are Different.

[hadyougoing]

Some of my favorites:

Puck: Great Gazoo, It Amused Me

Ava Wilson: All the special kids get Involuntary Battle to the Death, but Ava is further designated Corrupt the Cutie, and is very interestingly labeled Sam's Distaff Counterpart due to shared powers and dead fiancees.

Middleman is so full of tropes that you should really just Go To The Page. Enjoy losing several hours of your life!!

[venturedean]

Fry
Badass Adorable - he's normally goofy and easygoing, but when the chips are down, it's wise not to underestimate him.
Born In The Wrong Century - adapted to life in the year 3000 amazingly quickly.
Dogged Nice Guy - played pretty much exactly straight.
Friend to All Living Things - in addition to the normal animals we see him befriend, he raised an acid-spitting bone-eating alien creature from an egg. And it adored him.

Shawn
Ambiguously Bi - thanks for validating my headcanon, TV Tropes.
Brilliant But Lazy - In just one example, he invented a zipline pulley system to avoid having to get up and get snacks.
Karma Houdini - This is somewhat averted in the later seasons, which do show the consequences of some of his wilder shenanigans. (Even if the punishment rarely sticks.)
Screams Like A Little Girl - Yup.
Trademark Favorite Food - Duh.

Dean
Locked Out Of The Loop - with a lot of things, particularly the whole cloning deal.
Sibling Yin Yang - The boys are almost complete opposites in temperament, which the later seasons really emphasize.
Too Dumb To Live - while this is literally true (one of his canonical clone deaths was from running with scissors) my headcanon is that he's at least average, if not slightly above, intelligence-wise. (He's no supergenius, but nobody on this show is.) He seems a bit simple due to his sheltered life and extreme naivete. (At least at the beginning of the series. He's gotten a bit better.)
I Just Want To Be Normal - flat-out stated in canon. Sadly never going to happen.
Ping-Pong Naivete - See above. Governed by Rule of Funny, like everything else on the show.

Brisco is my only pup without a character page on the site, so I'm winging it a bit here.
Adorkable - yes, we see you geeking out about rockets.
Parental Abandonment - of the emotional rather than literal variety
Witty Banter - one of the show's trademarks.
Tear Jerker - the show's pretty lighthearted, but occasionally it reminds us that Bruce Campbell really can act.

[muckrakeress]

I love that that made it into TV Tropes.

Evil mun tosses other muns back down a TvTrope hole, just when they crawl out of their own.

[death_gone_mad]

Runescape has its own TvTropes page. And some helpful Troper has updated the characters page with a section on Amascut! Yay laziness!

So, Amascut is part of the tropes:
• Dark Skinned Redhead
• Did You Just Scam Cthulhu? because she agrees to be one of the player character's Slayer Masters after foiling one of her plots.
• For The Evuls due to the advice she gives as a Slayer Master. Seriously
• I Have Many Names because she's The Devourer, The Deceiver, The Scourge of the Desert, The Wanderer, The Destroyer, along with any other secret identities she has had over the past several millenia.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning
• The Trickster Uhhhh... I suppose she fits. She is the godess who ignores godly rules the most. And disguises. And... uhhh... I suppose she is more of the cruel master manipulator trickster than the benevolent wisdom dispensing trickster. `,:-|
• Volutary Shapeshifting Because sometimes changing clothes isn't enough
• Why Did It Have To Be Cats for obvious reasons

I think they missed her Berserk Button but I suppose it isn't so much of a Berserk Button since she maintains her cool, considering what she could have done if she really went berserk. But still, don't call her crazy. She also gets And I Must Scream for what she did to her adopted sister and Anthropomorhic Personification because what god doesn't?

[inlovewithwords]

Goddammit, TV Tropes has eaten my life again.

Henry Mills, Once Upon a Time
Amulet of Concentrated Awesome: recently acquired
Badass Family: And he is totally one of them, too, ten or not!
Calling the Old Man Out + You're Not My Mother: sorry, Regina.
Convenient Coma + Heroic Suicide: Thanks, Regina.
Dead Guy Junior: Regina's choice
Guile Hero: mostly in potential, but he might get there one day. (Though not as much as Tavi.)

Lois Lane, Smallville
First entry in the Lanes' character sheet. Highlights:
Badass NormalIntrepid Reporter, The Lois Lane, Going for the Big (Hot) Scoop: *_*
Happily Married Inter-species Romance: The classic. (Tavi's got it too.) screw you DCnu
Second Love + Last Girl Wins: It was a Foregone Conclusion. Sorry, Lana and Chloe. exceptnot
Fan-service Costumes: seriously. I swear she has a fetish.

Tavi, Codex Alera
First entry on the Alera character sheet. Read it and/or Codex Alera's page if you want The Epic List List. Some highlights:
Odd Name Out, Awesome McCoolname, and Names To Run Away From Really Fast: Tavi is the only non Germanic/Latin/maybe-Greek name for an Aleran, and post-canon, his reign name is Gaius Tavarus Magnus ("Lord Super-Wolverine the Great"). WTF Butcher.
Guile Hero: Oddly, if he weren't a hero, he could make good villain material
Badass: Abnormal and Normal in different ways; Handicapped; Brought Down to Badass; Family; somewhat Bookworm
Bond Creatures: He is one.
The Call Put Me On Hold: Except he RSVPs anyway. Sometimes without entirely knowing it.
Crazy Enough to Work, My God You Are Serious, and Refuge in Audacity: Everything he does
Farm Boy: He bothers to admire Canim livestock-managing techniques while on a stealth mission behind enemy lines.
I Just Want To Be Normal and I Just Want To Be Special: Furycrafting angst.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Tavi unleashed the world-destroying big bad (he had some help from Kitai)
The Not Secret: Everyone knows who he is

[master_bruce]

The answer is yes, all of them. Most - actually, all, I believe - of my pups have an individual page.

But if you think I'm going to venture onto TV Tropes on a Saturday evening, when I have things to do - NOT A CHANCE.

Which is a shame, because Gene's makes me lol every time. But, nope. Sorry. I have a sense of time-preservation. :D

[ceitfianna]

Okay, now for this DE, tvtropes is dangerous.

Will Scarlett: Robin's Lancer, One Steve Limit-oh yes, all the any last names and Wills, my Will is a mix of a few of them, Dual Wielding, in some versions he's Robin, only less so. There isn't a mention of the book version I take a lot from Paul Creswick's version.

Charles Xavier, as the X-Men universe is huge and unwieldy, I'm only going to reference just the tropes from X-Men: First Class's page.

Re: Part Two

[saphyria]

*cackles*

For Sam's "There are No Therapists," there is technically a potential therapist, but he's asleep/eating/can't be bothered to care.

His therapy advice is also likely advice Sam shouldn't take. ^_^

[leeshajoy]

Ugh. I fucking hate TVTropes. It's where creativity goes to die.

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

I had my comment almost done and then hit the wrong button and lost it.

So I'm just going to say there are some great tropes in relation to my boys, and perhaps I'll come back later when I don't feel like punching the monitor.

[gavin62truck]

Ah "Rescue Me," you are a bottomless pit of dysfunction.

Tommy Gavin:
The Alcoholic - GEE, I HADN'T NOTICED
Big Screwed-Up Family - "The Gavins. As one character noted, they're so screwed up they make the Jacksons look like the Osmonds."
Bunny-Ears Lawyer - meaning that even though Tommy is a drunk compulsive liar, he still saves people's lives
Cowboy Cop - except y'know, firefighter
Heroic Comedic Sociopath — "Partially subverted with Tommy. He does lots of morally questionable or downright bad things for fun and profit, but he isn't in it for wanton destruction or to fulfill some psychological compulsion. He's just angry and being mean is, for him, easier." -- This is actually a great commentary on his character.

ikissdhimbck would agree with me on this. Everyone on this show is a woobie.

Heh. I love the Jerkass Woobie trope.

Well...

Which part of canon? There's the Batman page, or you could just focus on the Dark Knight Saga.

Either way, Alfred is on the character sheet. And noted as a Battle Butler (Hence the username!), Retired Badass Normal Grandpa and Deadpan Servile Snarker.

As for my other characters:
Erik Selvig is an Agent Scully who Can hold his liquor, but still loses to Thor, and a very Cool (though Grumpy) Old and Smart Guy. Also, Jane's mentor.

Jack West + Max Epper: Their canon doesn't have a page, but there is one for Matthew Reilly, the creator, which covers all of his books. There's so much I could say, but bundles of it would be spoilers. What I will say, is Jack had an Abusive Parent (dad). He is the hero, and is very much a one man army. Max meanwhile, is the Smart Guy on the Multinational team Jack will be leading.

Bean: Insufferable Genius, Be careful what you wish for, and Hyper-competent Sidekick will do for now.

Young Wizards has a character sheet, and I just want to say how hilarious I find it that Badass Adorable shows up so many times on it. DDuane has a type. Nita fits nicely into Badass Bookworm, Beware the Nice Ones, and Little Miss Snarker. (Snark tropes show up a lot in YW, too.) TV Tropes also points out something that I totally missed when I blew through A Wizard of Mars like a bandersnatch, which is that Nita has been canonically confirmed as having a water affinity. Cool!

[bbq_platypus]

Waco Kid:
Ambiguously Gay ("Oh, I dunno...play chess...screw...")
Blasting It Out of Their Hands (No relation to that first trope)
Children Are Innocent (A belief in which turned out to be Jim's undoing)
Deadpan Snarker
Death Seeker ("A man drinks like that and he don't eat, he is going to die." "When?")
Dressing as the Enemy
The Gunslinger (obviously)
Literal Ass Kicking (received from a six year-old's gun)
Only Sane Man (he's pretty level-headed on those rare occasions he's sober)
Retired Badass
Retired Gunfighter
Salt and Pepper (Jim and Bart)
Smart People Play Chess (Relative to everyone else in the movie, anyway)
Sniper Pistol (In the final battle)
Some Call Me Tim ("Well, my name is Jim, but most folks call me...Jim.")
The Trope Kid

Borgel (from the Daniel Pinkwater page - Borgel itself doesn't have one):
The Old Country (where he's from)
Spoof Aesop (in pretty much all of his stories)
The Unpronounceable (his last name)

Leela (copypasted from the character page)
Action Girl
Anti-Hero: Unlike the Doctor, Leela doesn't have any qualms about hurting or killing others.
Badass: With one of her most notable moments being when she killed a Sontaran by stabbing its probic vent with a throwing knife.
Badass Normal
Bound and Gagged: The Talons Of Weng Chiang
Detect Evil
Fur Bikini: More precisely, a leather leotard and knee-high boots.
I Choose to Stay: On Gallifrey, with Andred and his tight pants.
Noble Savage
Nubile Savage
Only One Name
Parent Service: Conceived as such.
Psycho Sidekick: She kills or inflicts potentially-lethal violence on quite a number of mooks, and the Doctor's protests often seem only token.
Pygmalion Plot: The original idea (without the "falling in love with her" bit).
Weapon of Choice: Her knife. And janis thorns.
What Happened to the Mouse?: Her fate in the Time War is unknown.

Incidentally, the character page entry quote for her is pretty much perfect. ("Don't worry, Doctor. I found the answer: knife them in the neck!")

Kane - He's Tropetastic!®
Affably Evil: Kane very rarely loses his cool and strikingly erudite, educated, and charismatic leader who seems to somewhat genuinely care for his followers. Even when confronting his hated enemies of GDI, he always shows them a little smile and offers a few words of respect, even while mercilessly taunting their powerlessness or promising to gut them like the swines they are.
A God Am I: Not quite. But he's a close second.
Ancient Astronauts: Tiberian Twilight makes it NO SUCH GAME EXISTS DID NOT HAPPEN NOT LISTENING LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
Anti-Villain /Anti-Hero: Kane becomes a very bizarre AND HORRIBLY WRITEN kinda-sorta case of both in THE GAME THAT DOES NOT EXIST.
Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence NOT IN MY CANON.
Badass Beard / Beard of Evil: Kane's wicked goatee with his complete lack of other hair on his head.
The Bad Guy Wins: While the Third Tiberium War superficially resembles a defeat, Kane in fact achieved everything he was seeking to accomplish.
Bald of Evil / Bald of Awesome: It shimmers and an example of the aforementioned bald-with-goatee combo..
Batman Gambit: Turns out GDI did exactly what he wanted when they fired the Ion Cannon at Temple Prime, causing a liquid Tiberium explosion that attracted the Scrin to Earth.
Big Bad: Of the entire Tiberium series.
Bigger Bad: In Renegade. You can't meet him personally nor fight him, but he's still the leader.
Biblical Bad Guy: Kane is implied to be Cain (in Renegade, you actually find Abel's tomb), or at least the person who inspired the story, which certainly puts an interesting spin on the whole "anyone who kills Cain will have retribution brought upon them sevenfold" thing. Makes sense, if one realizes that Nod has brought back even bigger forces every single time GDI "won".
Cain and Abel: Is hinted to be the (immortal) Biblical Cain, and Renegade even has his Temple in Sarajevo being built around the tomb of his murdered brother Abel.
The Chessmaster: One of the Nod mission briefings in the original Command & Conquer has Kane actually playing a game of chess while explaining the upcoming mission to the player. He even ends the briefing, and starts up the operation, with a smile and a simple "Your move."
Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive: Kane occasionally does this along with a self-satisfied smirk when he's in scheming mode.
Contractual Immortality: Kane never stays dead for long, which his followers take as proof of his divinity. Even after the series' end a news report shows how people are unconvinced he's gone for good.
Dark Messiah: Kane is The Messiah in the eyes of his own followers.
Determinator: Kane. No matter what setback he suffers, he will return with greater force than his previous attempt in his quest for ascension, a journey that has spanned thousands of years and four of the bloodiest wars in history.
Didn't See That Coming: He always a step ahead. Of everyone. GDI, Scrin, his own generals. Then in Command & Conquer 3 he undergoes a Villainous Breakdown when Kilian's forces ally with GDI. And then in Kane's Wrath, when it's revealed just how proficient Kane is at playing a Gambit Roulette, he's yet again surprised when Alexa reveals to have tried to destroy LEGION, and tricked Kane into executing Kilian, out of her devotion to Kane (she deserves a CMOA for such a feat). That said, he still wins out in the end.
Do Not Adjust Your Set: Kane likes to announce his return or have a heart-to-heart with an enemy commander this way.
Evil Gloating: Oh, so very much.
Evil Laugh: Kane himself indulges in this trope during the intro to the GDI campaign of Tiberian Sun. Being the Magnificent Bastard that he is, however, his laugh is a confident chuckle instead of a crazed cackle.
Genre Savvy: Sometimes. Other times, he comes perilously close to saying things like "Nothing can stop me now!"
I Am The Trope: "Comrade Chairman, I AM the future."
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: At the end of Tiberian Sun.
Is This Thing Still On?: Early in the first Tiberium game, after a mission in which you (playing GDI) save a town from being wiped out by Nod, there is a cinematic featuring a reporter in front of a scene of destruction saying that the town was wiped out by GDI. It then cuts to a green-screen in a studio, where Kane walks onto the set and gives distribution orders... "Is that camera still running?!?" BANG.
Joker Immunity: Mentioned above, he never dies, and it took about over decade for an explanation as to why. Before the series changed in direction, it looked his return in Tiberium Wars would have been CABAL's doing.
Large Ham: The C&C series has always been a World of Ham. And Kane is the hammiest of them all.
Let No Crisis Go To Waste: In the Soviet victory scenario in Red Alert, the entire war effort was an Evil Plan by Kane to expand the USSR, then topple it, and use the ensuing chaos to strengthen the Brotherhood of Nod.
Man Behind the Man: Occasionally likes to stay in the shadows and let others (Stalin, Marcion, Parker) be the titular leader.
New Era Speech: Got at least one of these in most of the Command & Conquer games, and he is really good at doing so.
The Plan: Kane's strategies tend to hinge on these, bordering on Gambit Roulette at times - though in Kane's Wrath we get to see just how much planning and effort went into making Tiberium Wars unfold the way it did. In the first game, however, Kane gets played by GDI, which faked having its UN funding cut in order to lure Nod into the open, before hitting them with their latest wave of weapon technology.
Piggybacking On Hitler: Kane is doing this with Stalin.
Propaganda Machine: Makes considerable use of media manipulation.
Really 700 Years Old
Shrouded in Myth: Kane, yet again.
Slasher Smile: His characteristic little smirk.
Smart People Play Chess: Kane is holding a chess piece during the briefing of the 9th NOD mission in the first game.
Tank Goodness: He's admitted to being a tank enthusiast.
Treacherous Advisor: He was part of Stalin's staff, even as he was orchestrating Stalin's downfall...and Nadia's, too, in the Soviet ending at least.
Unexplained Recovery: Each time he returns after Nod's defeat. Subverted in that Firestorm and Kane's Wrath show he had an extensive recovery period between defeats and reappearances.
Villainous Breakdown: "How could my own brothers believe that what transpired at the Temple Prime did not unfold exactly as I had planned. Of course I could not have planned for an ambush BY MY OWN FORCES!"
Villains Out Shopping: The Dinosaur missions briefing in Tiberian Dawn makes Kane look like he's just on vacation.
Villain with Good Publicity: He's adept at manipulating the media, and (particularly before the Third Tiberium War) is the only reason why a lot of people in the poorer parts of the world are able to keep themselves fed in the Crapsack World that is the Tiberium universe.
You Have Failed Me: It wouldn't be a Command & Conquer game without at least one underling being executed.

Atrus
Big Screwed-Up Family (And how!)
Doom Magnet (Awful things always seem to keep happening to him).
Gadgeteer Genius (Apart from age-writing, he builds a lot of pretty neat machines).
Good Is Not Soft (His punishment for his father and sons demonstrates this).
Last of His Kind (SPOILERS: He's not).
What the Hell, Player? (If you don't bring the page into D'ni. One of the better video game examples, I think).

Tuco
Anti-Hero: Tuco is either a Type V or a straight-up Villain Protagonist. (Me, I'd lean toward the latter).
Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Tuco's list of crimes.
Ballistic Discount
Bandito
Beware the Silly Ones: He may be a boorish oaf who talks too much, but he is not to be trifled with.
Can't Bathe Without a Weapon
Dirty Coward / Lovable Coward
Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas
Genre Savvy: "When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk."
The Gunslinger
Laughably Evil
Long List of Transgressions: His list of crimes.
Obfuscating Stupidity
Overly-Long Name: Tuco Benedicto Paci­fico Juan Maria Ramirez, "known as the Rat"
