History Tropers / LucaEarlgrey

'''Luca Earlgrey''' is a troper coming from the UsefulNotes/UnitedStates. And yes, I chose the handle in honor of ''VideoGame/EtherVapor''[='=]s protagonist.

This page will be frequently wiped and remade because I can't make up my mind.

!!Some of Luca's favorite works:
[[AC:Anime and Manga]]
* ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh''
* ''Anime/CowboyBebop''
* ''Anime/KillLaKill''
* ''Teekyuu''

[[AC:Video Games]]
* ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney''
* The Franchise/{{BEMANI}} franchise, especially:
** ''VideoGame/{{jubeat}}''
** ''VideoGame/PopnMusic''
** ''VideoGame/ReflecBeat''
* ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}}''
* ''VideoGame/{{Hellsinker}}''
* ''Videogame/MonsterHunter''

!! Luca exhibits examples of the following:
* BerserkButton: Divided into two categories: "joke" and "serious".
** Joke buttons:
*** Cookies, due to ''VideoGame/CookieClicker'' and the [[NightmareFuel/CookieClicker Grandmapocalypse]].
*** Missiles in ''VideoGame/FTLFasterThanLight'', because they bypass shields.
*** Eating Kit-Kats all four bars at once, as opposed to the traditional style of "breaking off a piece".
** Actual, serious buttons (as in ''seriously, please don't''):
*** Bigotry / marginalization of groups in general, but ''especially'' when it's toward those with some form of [[UsefulNotes/HighFunctioningAutism autism]] or UsefulNotes/AspergersSyndrome, as I was diagonosed with a borderline case of it when I was 14 or 15, ''and'' several of my close friends have or have had it.
*** Seeing two of my friends have a conflict with each other. I don't mean "arguing over opinions about video games"-level, I mean "both participants are giving off a legitimate sense of hatred"-level.
*** {{Scrub}}s and {{Stop Having Fun Guy}}s. Play how you want, and if someone chastises you because you play casually (the ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' "easy moodo" meme comes to mind) or competitively (see: people who bash ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' players for playing "No items, Fox only, Final Destination"-style), they can go fuck themselves.
*** People who have [[LackOfEmpathy no sense of empathy]].
*** Passive-aggressiveness. I admit, I'm guilty of it too, but I've seen blatant examples of this involving friends and as such I consider this a berserk button on a VERY personal level.
*** The usage of the term "trap" to refer to {{Crossdresser}}s and UsefulNotes/{{transgender}} individuals, as it carries some very UnfortunateImplications.
* CatchPhrase: "[[AllLowercaseLetters i'm gonna kick your butt]]". It works in [[PhraseCatcher reverse]] too.
* {{Crossdresser}}: Two of my cosplays are [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Reimu Hakurei and Renko Usami]]. I also own a pair of over-knee socks, but they're too small and I don't have [[ZettaiRyouiki a miniskirt to go with it]].
* ManChild: Unfortunately, I tend to act more immature than I'd like to. Being constantly called out by friends younger than me for my behavior doesn't help.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: Unfortunately, there are people out there that I '''truly''' hate.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood:
** Japanese cuisine in general, except for sushi. I'm always up for a plate of curry rice, and ramen is also pretty good. I've also tried ''okonomiyaki'', and apparently it's meant to be shared with others; I somehow [[BigEater ate the entire thing]].
** Ice cream and other frozen dairy desserts, like frozen yogurt. Especially vanilla and/or with fruits.

!! Favorite Works

* ''VideoGame/AceAttorney'' series: Curently going through ''[[VideoGame/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies Dual Destinies]]''.
* ''VideoGame/DefenseGridTheAwakening'': All of The Awakening completed (except for the third-to-last mission, where I found Story Reversed to be easier)
* ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}}'', particularly...
** ''Gradius Gaiden'': Bought it in 2004 and it's still my favorite ''Gradius'' game of all time. First loop completed.
** ''Gradius [=ReBirth=]'': Currently holding a top 10 spot on the Normal difficulty high score list.
* ''VideoGame/{{Hellsinker}}'': All unlocks completed. Full Sequence Order completed with about 25,000 spirits, Short Mission with about 20,000.
* ''VideoGame/{{Ingress}}'': Enlightened, Level 8. Participant in the #13MAGNUS finale in UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco (so if you see any examples about #13MAGNUS, they probably were written by me).
* The ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' franchise, particularly...
** ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor'': Completed almost every ending, but then lost my copy with Atsuro's and Gin's endings left to be unlocked. After obtaining a new copy through black magic (read: piracy), I ended up completing Atsuro's ending, but by that I didn't feel like going for Gin's anymore.
** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}} Portable'': Completed with both male and female protagonists; Normal for male and NG+ Hard for female. Easiest ''Megami Tensei'' game ever. Didn't unlock Messiah but I don't really care when I have other Personas more than capable of the job such as Surt and Shiva.
** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' (PS2 version): Achieved the Good ending, but ragequit trying to do the True ending.
** ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney'': Neutral ending completed, because I think Law and Chaos sides are batshit insane.
** ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'': Currently playing.
* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'': Six of the games completed on Normal.

[[AC:Webcomics]]
* ''Webcomic/MiniMari!'': Eu?

!! Luca Earlgrey provides examples of the following:
* ChallengeGamer
* {{Cosplay}}: At conventions and outside-of-convention cosplay gathering events. My current cosplays are [[Manga/MiraiNikki Yukiteru Amano]], [[VideoGame/{{Persona3}} Minato Arisato]], [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Reimu Hakurei, and Renko Usami]].
* {{Crossdresser}}: Half of my "active" cosplays are of female characters. Unfortunately, living with parents, one of which is a bit judgemental about it and the other of which would probably be better off not knowing about this hobby, makes things difficult.

Not much to me, really. Just your average troper who mostly lurks and contributes to pages for {{Shoot Em Up}}s and {{Rhythm Game}}s, and has to remind fellow editors that HarderThanHard [[SquarePegRoundTrope is not]] NintendoHard [-[[TheSameButMore BUT MORE!]]-]

!! Troper: Luca Earlgrey provides examples of the following:

* {{Cosplay}}: A good number of cosplays, including ''{{Persona 3}}''[='=]s protagonist and [[Manga/MiraiNikki Yukiteru Amano]]. My current plans include [[VideoGame/LaMulana Lemeza Kosugi]] and [[{{Beatmania}} the gigadelic kid]].
** {{Crossdresser}}: In addition, I've taken to doing female characters, such as [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Reimu Hakurei]], with more hopefully in the works (i.e. a {{Meido}} outfit and another ''Touhou'' character, Marisa Kirisame). Unfortunately, living with parents makes crossplay difficult.
* SleepyHead: If I have a class starting at 10:30 AM or earlier, do not expect me to remain awake for the entire day. If I have a class at 9 AM or earlier, expect me to either oversleep or crash during class.

* BerserkButton: [[AC:You said "armpits" while I was cosplaying Reimu, and now you're going to die.]]

** {{Crossdresser}}: In addition, I've taken to doing female characters, such as [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Reimu Hakurei]], with more hopefully in the works (i.e. a {{Meido}} outfit and [[PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Homura Akemi]]). Unfortunately, living with parents makes crossplay difficult.
