Title: Sum up another character in a tvtropes link.
Post by: Ibrahim Tash-Murkon on 12 Jan 2018, 00:41
I would be interested to find out how people characterize other players' characters in tvtropes style. It's an insight as to how you might be perceived. Respondents are encouraged to give some background or reasoning as to why they chose the trope to relate to the character.

As always, follow thy first commandment: Thou shalt not be a prat. Nor shall though respond pratishly.

This thread.

(is joke me no prat)

Ahem. Though maybe "sum up the above posters character" might get more posts, since otherwise I'm not sure which character to try and find a trope for.

Hrm, while Coult isn't a villain, I do think she fits the bill of silly! And she seems like she'd be a badass, to boot!

Hehe, I like tv tropes. Unfortunately I don't know Julianni that well, so I'll do a few of my favorite characters.

Since Julianni was skipped, one trope that strikes me as being applicable to her character at least in terms of "public" interactions...

I'm sure this doesn't need much explanation (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MamaBear). ;)

Honestly do not know if this actually fits Makoto's character but; http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScaryShinyGlasses

Mainly as Tein views Makoto as someone best not to actually piss off (though I think she has traded some angry words with her more than once).

I don't know what you're talking about. (http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/015/575/Gendo_Ikari_by_Darthval.jpg)

(Teinyhr's still up! This is just me replying. ;) )

My take (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheSnarkKnight) on Teinyhr. I think the Daria analogy is actually somewhat apt. Then again I only know what is on IGS.

Since my RP experience is limited, next poster gets "Poster's Choice" of anyone who has already posted above.

I think that would simply make you the Quiet One (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheQuietOne), so far.

I mean the whole "the person above you" was a suggestion by me so you don't have to do that or anything

Yeah. I'd like to see some about my char too, but considering I suck at finding the right tropes among the seemingly endless nuanced possibilities, I don't think he'd ever get a turn.

I'd love to participate more in these kinds of threads but I just rarely have even superficial understanding of other people's characters. However, I think I might be able to do something about Che (sorry Aradina):

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AllLovingHero

That's just the impression I've got, I don't remember seeing Che saying anything bad about anyone, ever, or anyone raging at Che for that matter. In all interactions I remember observing he's pretty much the guy everyone likes, for some reason, like it is an aura or something.

Edit: Oh, and feel free to skip me, or don't. I'm a disclaimer, not a cop.
