* AmbiguousAllegiance: Although reasonably friendly towards Adventurer, his actions and dialogue cast doubt onto his true motivations. Scenes involving him make it very clear that he regularly makes conflicting statements.

* GenreSavvy: They are aware of the popular tropes associated with "isekai’d" fiction, and at one point actually question why they haven’t been given enough exposition about their new environment and purpose there like other “Isekai stories do”


Added DiffLines:

* BloodKnight: While gregarious, he has a clear fascination with getting into what he deems as entertaining fights. Seemingly, he puts the anticipation of a good fight above all other aspects of his job as captain. Notably, he considers the “saving” aspect of being a knight as a requirement and not something he particularly cherishes in his job.

* BoisterousBruiser: The LI with the most noticeably muscular build, when he’s not fighting as captain of the knights, he seems to spend most of his off-time at the nearest tavern. Somewhat loud and informal in his introduction, his attitude doesn’t seem to mar his renowned fighting ability in the slightest.

As of April 15th, 2021, Kor has officially been promoted to love interest. Therefore, his category was switched to reflect this. Until other characters will have tropes that apply to them, the other characters category will be deleted in the meantime


!!Kor

* AmbiguousAllegiance: Although reasonably friendly towards Adventurer, his actions and dialogue cast doubt onto his true motivations. Scenes involving him make it very clear that he regularly makes conflicting statements.

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Self-described as simply wanting to raise his daughter in peace, and although he works as an adventurer for hire, seems to have little interest in the fame or money associated with the job.

* MathematiciansAnswer: Tends to speak like this as a way of avoiding giving straight answers for some topics, like the reasoning behind his overly generous gifts to Adventurer and questions about himself.

* MumLooksLikeASister: Father in this case. Some dialogue in chapter 2 states that Kor has a daughter named Zaria, but details about her age are quite vague. Chapter 3 reveals [[spoiler: she’s at least old enough to be a teenager]], while according to his [[AllThereInTheManual character sheet]] Kor is 21.

* PromotedToLoveInterest: His status as a love interest of the game was ambiguous by design. Originally meant to be a character the players could only befriend, due to popular demand, he was officially promoted by the Kortia staff to have a romantic route as of April 15th, 2021. ''[[https://kortia-game.tumblr.com/post/648553233992859648/many-of-you-have-been-asking-us-if-kor-is-a-love]]''

* SkunkStripe: Kor has a blond forelock in his otherwise black hair.

* UnusualEyebrows: Of the kinked type. Out of the other characters, he’s the only one with such eyebrows.



* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Despite being respected by the common Vallaurian, nearly all the other LI's dislike him, if not despise him due to his arrogance and obnoxious attitude. He even has garnered the dislike of Zeno, who is easily one of the most easy-going characters of Kortia.

* CoolMask: Matched with his futuristic armour, he sticks out against the more fantasy-inspired clothing of the other characters. In promotional art, he is only ever seen with the mask on. One might expect this to be set-up for “the reveal”, which is subverted in his introduction when his face is [[TheUnreveal immediately visible]] to the player.

Added new category and Kor. Despite being listed as an LI on the relationship panel, he is not listed as one on the official Kortia page or on promotional LI content in the Discord server. I don't know a trope that would explain this so I added him to the other character category.

* NoBadassToHisValet: Despite being well-known as a hero who’s ruthless towards his enemies, he finds his match in Kor, an adventurer of mediocre success in comparison. Depending on the player’s choices in Chapter 2, Kor’s blatant disregard for Dyclos and Dyclos’ following indignation can escalate into a full-blown duel.

* SpoiledSweet: Despite being the heiress to the Summerset duchy, she has little interest in practicing the formalities of her stature when she’s away from home. She is quite comfortable in conversing with those of lesser status than her in casual conversation.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In his introduction, he’s not only enthusiastically drinking, but regaling a crowd of his fellow knights with tales of his exploits. As soon as they observe this, Adventurer likens him to a party playboy.

He is not only quick to retort against Adventurer and question them on their lack of worldly knowledge, but also sarcastically responds to a guard posted outside the gates of Crimson City despite needing their permission to go inside the city to complete his current job

* CharacterCustomization: Adventurer's name, skin colour, hairstyle, hair colour, eye colour gender and sex are all able to be chosen by the player. These choices will be reflected in the game and illustrations. Once any changes have been made, the illustrations previously unlocked by the player will automatically update to the recent change.
