You've just stumbled onto the page of a troper most prone to violent {{Cluster F Bomb}}ings and verbal ComedicSociopathy, and [[BrutalHonesty Br]][[HeavyMetalUmlaut ü]][[BrutalHonesty tally H]][[HeavyMetalUmlaut ö]][[BrutalHonesty nest]] while doing so. A New Yorker, though only mentally (in a city with no Empire State Building, the Empire Stalin Building must do - for fuck's sake, why couldn't it have been subway instead?!), a philosopher with [[TookALevelInBadass A Degree In Badass]] (more exactly aesthetics, but thesis on "The question of ''mimesis'' in {{Tabletop RPG}}s" does imply some amount of badassitude), a collector of CoolGuns (airsoft ones only, though), sarcastic {{punslinger}} with a habit of quoting various things (songs, movies, video games...) and dropping {{Grissom Oneliner}}s when situation just asks for it. Why "Not So Badass Longcoat"? Because when you're built like a chicken, it's hard to look badass in a black leather coat. Irony and one-liners kinda help, but overall, there's no full BadassLongcoat impact here.
!!In one big list:
* AfraidOfNeedles - well, if looking away and singing Fuel or Audioslave means "afraid".
* AllLoveIsUnrequited - you wouldn't believe my bad luck with women.
* ArmsDealer - oh, funny story. I got into a photography group by bringing a large duffel bag full of replica guns. Now I'm half-jokingly called the group's armorer.
* AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder - I can rarely write something longer than ten pages and with more than one plot line.
* BadassLongcoat - the first one was old, heavy and I loved it, although my mom pressured me into throwing it out. Second wasn't badass at all. The third one is just right. And, in true badass fashion, I wear it open. Too bad that while the coat is proper badass, [[SubvertedTrope I'm not.]]
* BlindWithoutEm - I'm SEVERELY myopic. For instance, I can't see numbers on the calendar five feet away.
* BorrowedCatchphrase - [[Series/BurnNotice "I'll see what I can do."]]
* BrilliantButLazy - yeah. Yawn.
* BrutalHonesty - put a HeavyMetalUmlaut on it.
* CatchPhrase - "But seriously?!", "[[Discworld/InterestingTimes That's terrible. Even with mustard.]]", [[Series/BurnNotice "I'll see what I can do."]] and "That was one HELL of a party!".
* ClusterFBomb - how about calling my elementary school teacher a "fucked up bitch with a perm made with wood glue"? At age seven? On a side note, when my mom saw the teacher's aforementioned hairdo, she kinda agreed with the second part.
* ComedicSociopathy - well, all is fine and dandy, and then I cheerily mention murder, arson or property damage as a possible solution to your problem. ANY problem.
* ConsummateLiar - Played with. I don't lie often, but when I do, it turns out I'm insanely talented in giving people all kinds of bullshit. Thugs, cops, online perverts, even my former boss.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny - people have differing opinions on ''which one'', depending on what they saw. For some friends, it's one guy's question "Where are those worms going?!" and my deadpan reply "Fishing." when people suddenly walked out of the room at a friend's 18th birthday.
* DrunkenSong - sooner or later one of my friends is gonna bring this up when we're drinking and we'll launch into one of the [[FilkSong lyrical parodies]] I wrote in high school. Either a [[WordSaladLyrics Word Salad song]] based on [[Music/{{Nirvana}} "Smells Like Teen Spirit"]], the one about my friend's dislike of parties based on [[Music/SystemOfADown "Chop Suey"]] (although it's difficult to sing even when sober!), or the one about BloodBowl based on Die Arzte's "Manner Sind Schweine". Or one of the other ones.
* TheErnest - ah, the "girl" who got my former boss fooled? He couldn't figure it out until the rest of people told him. After a year. When I quit. Some people didn't catch it after SIX YEARS. Or was it eight?
** MeaningfulName - "her" usual online handle is taken from a certain shapeshifter character from popular comics series.
** {{Tuckerization}} - "her" supposed real name is what my parents wanted to name their daughter.
* GallowsHumor - another important part of my character.
* HeavySleeper - when I crash, not many things can wake me up.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold - piss me off and my bad side will crash into you at 150 mph. It's easy. So easy that a lot of people know only my bad side, but usually not aimed at them. Other than that, I'm pretty nice.
* TheNicknamer - piss me off and you'll get a nasty one, like "The Jersey Godzilla". Have a long nickname and you'll get a shorter one, like [[@/TuefelHundenIV "T-Hound"]].
* NoodleIncident - one New Year's Eve party. It involved a couple of sharp implements and drunk chavs. "Hey, at least you didn't have to wash the ceiling."
* NotAMorningPerson - definitely.
* ThePhilosopher - that's what my diploma says, but [[{{SubvertedTrope}} I subvert it.]] In order to understand reality, I must explain it to myself in simple terms.
* PungeonMaster - sometimes, I'm punstoppable.
* QuipToBlack - usually as a PostMortemOneLiner for a video game I'm playing or uttered during watching a movie. Bad Horatio Caine impressions at RPG sessions count too.
* SarcasmMode - near-permanently stuck in it.
* SixDegreesOfKevinBacon - my score: 4. Living on the other end of the planet. [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13177303510A40180100&page=3#63 As proven here.]]
* SomeCallMeTim - I prefer to be called Mike. Actually, to some people I'm OnlyKnownByTheirNickname.
* SophisticatedAsHell - happens often, to a hilarious and confusing effect.
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish - just need to work on the accent, now people can't say it's American.
* TeamChef - a lot of my friends are surprised when they get invited for lunch.
--> '''Blue Oni''': It's great! I never knew you could cook?
--> '''NSBL''': Seven years and you didn't? Impossible.
* UnsoundEffect - I refer to ignoring people on Twitter as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plonk_%28Usenet%29 "plonking"]]. However, as a subversion, I refer to it as "the sound a grenade launcher makes" (as in the first two VideoGame/{{Quake}} games, grenade launchers made a metallic "plonk" sound when fired).
--> And #PLONK goes the grenade launcher!
* VerbalTic - seriously.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be The Fucking Spiders?!]] - and cockroaches?!

[[folder: [=TropeFest=] 9001 ]]
It's called [=TropeFest=] 9001, because Trope level here [[MemeticMutation IS OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAND!]] This section contains things that are either too general or not avesome enough to publish them in TroperTales - since this troper is a writer and a roleplayer, his more notable characters are described here.
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic - too awesome to wear a pisspot[[labelnote:NSBL]]Yes. That's how I call helmets in general.[[/labelnote]], both when airsofting and (for his characters) when playing [=RPGs=].
!![[AC:TabletopGames]]
Whoever and whatever crawled out from the Sunday tabletopping sessions.
!!![[AC:WorldOfDarkness]]
* '''Mike''' - Michael Archer Sterling, New York-born [[VampireTheMasquerade Brujah]] [[VampireDetective Detective]], looks twentyish, over 120 years old. Childe of the New York Sheriff, Missis D. The quintessential (if not painfully cliche) ActionHero in a BadassLongcoat, first played straight, then evolved into [[TheStoic Stoic]] FilmNoir AntiHero that [[DeadpanSnarker Took A Level In Snarker]]. What remained were wisecracks and leather coat (although in the Play-By-Forum universe it gets destroyed and replaced every time a bigger fight erupts - [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] with remarks in the vein of "Oh fuck, great, another three hundred bucks down the drain!"). Lately, mainly by inspiration from {{Lost}}, Mike became TheNicknamer, preying mostly on the characters with NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast. Not like they're not asking for it.
-->'''Mike''' ''(upon meeting ''Fox Nevada'' and some time after chasing ''Jack Arizona'')'': I swear, if there's any [[TinyToons Max Montana]] around too, I'm gonna shoot his fucking head off.
* '''Sara''' - Sara Kinmont ([[SpellMyNameWithAnS Sara, without "h"]]), New York-born [[VampireTheMasquerade Malkavian]] Teen, over 80 years old. A redhead with GirlishPigtails, Sara started as a manic-depressive PluckyComicRelief girl, evolving into something way darker. Now, she has SplitPersonality - a third of childish GeniusDitz, a third of TheEeyore and a third of FemmeFatale. Pigtails remain, at least if she wakes up as the ditz (her personalities, apart from intense external triggers, switch every night when she wakes up from slumber).
-->'''Sara''' ''(discussing how to awaken an alternate personality of a different Malkavian)'': Something tells me that power drill wasn't such a crazy idea after all.
* '''Megan''' - Megan [[KnightRider Knight]], Californian [[VampireTheMasquerade Brujah]] [[TheLadette Ladette]] Street Racer, looks twentyish, thirty or so years old. Mike's Childe, a scrawny, near-flat-chested blonde grunge rock fan with kick-ass dexterity and driving skills (twelve dice with critical success re-rolls for anything that contains the risk of totaling a car at high speeds - in the very beginning!). Her background story is one huge TakeThat aimed at VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines: it starts with Mike and Sara arriving in LA and getting the correct impression that [=LaCroix=] is an asshole of unbelievable proportions. Looking for a way to annoy him even more, Mike decides to sire a second Childe - Megan. Then, it all goes downhill, with the CrowningMomentOfAwesome being the Giovanni Mansion blowing up due to Jack's little "gift" (don't try to fool a Malkavian with three dots in Auspex). The conclusion: after [=LaCroix=] got really pissed off at the trio and declared a Blood Hunt on them, Mike calls Strauss (the Tremere Elder) with a short message: "Hey Max, tell the folks to find a new Prince. This one is going down." Then, [=LaCroix=] finds out the hard way that abuse of power (declaring a Blood Hunt without a good reason) dramatically shortens a couple of things. Lifespan being one of them.
-->'''Megan''' ''(showing her new car - a retired '94 Ford Crown Vic police car. Lifted nearly word for word from BluesBrothers)'': It's got a cop motor, 4.6 litre. It's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. Reinforced gearbox and transmission, goes 25 miles per hour faster than the civilian model. What do you say? Is it the new Brujahmobile or what?
* '''Callisto''' - real name unknown ([[IHaveManyNames she gave five different ones]] to five different people during one play session), Caribbean [[VampireTheMasquerade Brujah]] PirateGirl and an {{Expy}} of Marvel Comics' Morlock leader of the same name. Looks thirtyish, over 300 years old. Wears an EyepatchOfPower, mostly to signify she's so {{Badass}} that she pulled a [[SweetPollyOliver Polly Oliver]] and the crew [[TheReveal figured it out]] only after she was seriously wounded in a sea battle, losing an eye and gaining an InformedFlaw (due to the GM constantly forgetting about the dice modifier, she could shoot and drive like a perfectly healthy person). After the captain tried to leave her in the nearest port, she handed his ass to him as a suggestion that she wishes to stay aboard. Then, she become first a pirate captain (without the need of crossdressing) and then a vampire. Then, she happened to get forced onto a SuspendedAnimation Express to the '80s (pretty literally - impaled on a chunk of wood during a sea battle, tossed overboard and stuck in some dark corner of the sea bottom). After getting synchronized with reality, she continued to kick ass in modern times, finally getting stuck with a dilemma when the campaign was badly [[{{Cliffhanger}} cliffhanged]]. She was later {{retcon}}ned as a kind of vampiric aunt to Mike (she and Mike's Sire are Childer of the same vampire).
-->'''Callisto''' ''(yelling at ''the Prince'' after a particularly badly thought-out assassination)'': And all of this because Mr Fuckwit ''(points at the Toreador standing behind her)'' and Mr Shithead ''(points at the Assamite behind her)'' decided to go in and shoot one fucking painter!
* '''Matt''' - Matthew J. Browning, [[HunterTheVigil hunter]] from New Orleans. Not to be confused with similarly named [[{{Supernatural}} Winchester brothers]]. Currently working as a hotel detective in Amsterdam.
* '''Shane''' - Shane "Attacks-from-Shadows" Craven, [[WerewolfTheForsaken Iron Masters Irraka]] MrFixit and ex-paratrooper [[RetCon from Chicago]] (served with the 82nd Airborne in Afghanistan). [[ButtMonkey Omega of the pack]], FishOutOfWater and OnlySaneMan. He can disappear and make things go borked. Also tends to jump off buildings without a parachute and snark.
-->'''Shane''': Sorry guys, I don't speak DOG!
* '''Jim''' - Jim Carson, [[{{Badass}} GAR]] [[VampireTheMasquerade Gangrel]] [[TheGunslinger Gunslinger]], for AddedAlliterativeAppeal. [[BadassLongcoat Brown duster]] included. Currently wreaking havoc in Victorian London.
-->'''Jim''': This place is like a barn. Bullshit stacked all the way up to the roof.
* '''Lex''' - Alexandria Jane [[GunsmithCats Vincent]], Californian [[VampireTheRequiem Nosferatu]] WrenchWench and carjacker. A confused {{Tsundere}} who doesn't exactly grasp the whole vampiric schtick yet. Looks like a [[VampireTheMasquerade Cappadocian]]: PaleSkinnedBrunette with MostCommonSuperpower (an InformedAttribute really, considering her clan weakness - although getting two successes on two dice in a social roll is quite a feat) and [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]], but she clearly shows off her "tsun" side as well, being a TattooedCrook and having the temper of a badly pissed off [[VampireTheMasquerade Brujah]], displayed when the Kindred around her do something she [[MoralityPet doesn't approve of.]] Based on an earlier Nosferatu street racer character, Midnight, and her Masquerade {{Expy}}, Megan (see above).
-->'''Lex''': Shotgun? Check. Armor? Check. Grenades? Check. ROAD TRIP!
* '''Nick''' - [[Left4Dead Nick]] Gautreau, [[VampireTheRequiem Mekhet]] {{Hustler}} from [[TheBigEasy New Orleans]] who, after a disastrous fuck-up had to run away to SanFrancisco, where an ElegantGothicLolita HotLibrarian turned him into a vampire. After he had the shit beaten out of him in an alley.
-->'''Nick''': Well, screw you guys, I'm going home.

!!![[AC:LegendOfTheFiveRings]]
* '''Kurinto Itsuuda''' - a {{Ronin}}, serving the Crane Clan diplomat Doji [[TheWallflower Sunako]]. [[TheBlacksmith Bladesmith]] and detective with suspiciously quiet demeanor and ''very'' interesting skill set, Kurinto hangs around in the background until needed, getting into places reserved for the dirty rotten scoundrels and discretely listening in on all suspicious rumors available. Definitely '''not''' a ninja and eventual [[TheReveal Reveal]] isn't going to change that (Kurinto's Dark Secret has a different nature. Oh, and [[DoNotCallMePaul don't call him by his old name]]. He's gonna kill you for it, and for a good reason.). Also, owner of a peculiar katana (it's not a Kaiu Blade. It's just a blade... that was forged by a Kaiu...) and really shitty luck (although turning for the better after I stopped borrowing dice). Kurinto basically looks like an {{Expy}} of Jin from SamuraiChamploo, but with a five o'clock shadow, no glasses and a triangular scarf draped over his right arm like the iconic poncho of Man With No Name from AFistfulOfDollars. Also, typical Asian straw hat.\\
Cause of death: HonorBeforeReason. He tried to talk his way out of a fight with a very zealous and very misinformed Witch Hunter and his two Hida goons. Outnumbered, he managed to waste a Hida bushi before getting clubbed to death. [[spoiler:May or may not be NotQuiteDead.]]
--> '''Kurinto''' ''(draws katana, to a horde of visibly angry heimin)'': Go ahead. Make my day.
* '''Shiba Masaru''' - Phoenix bodyguard, guaranteed not to embarrass his charge... publicly. GeniusBruiser and GlassCannon of the team with [[ImplausibleFencingPowers fencing powers bordering on implausible]] - able to pull {{One Hit Kill}}s on weaker opponents with little trouble and, what's better, he managed to win a contest of mental prowess, going against courtiers and shugenja. Also, considering that the previous bodyguard of Doji Sunako went down (and how!), WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic?\\
Where Is He Now?: after kicking much ass, wriggling himself out of the deal with Doji Sunako's father, growing in power to stop being a GlassCannon, becoming a minor celebrity AND clocking a big-ass oni during the retake of Hiruma Castle, Masaru returned to his castle to focus on more... scholarly pursuits.
--> '''Masaru''': [[Quotes/Left4Dead I have not... come this far... to die now!]]
* '''Shinjo Leibao''' - one of the three Unicorns in the new team, good-hearted, but [[HotBlooded brash and arrogant]]. An orphan adopted by a minor Unicorn daimyo, Leibao enjoys [[LargeHam daikon]], comically inappropriate {{Badass Boast}}s and already achieved bad reputation for being a noisy and slightly unhinged [[TheIdiotFromOsaka idiot from the North]].

!!![[AC:DungeonsAndDragons]]
* '''Korin''' - Fighter and CosmicChewToy who usually gets so deep in trouble the rest of the party has to drag him out and patch him up (due to shitty luck with dice). TheLancer of the team (to a deliciously [[LargeHam hammy]] [[TheHero paladin]] and [[LittleMissSnarker snarky]] [[TheSmartGuy elven mage]]). Has to [[TookALevelInBadass take a few levels in badass]] and develop some more personality, though.

!!![[AC:TabletopGame/WolsungSteamPulpFantasy]]
* [[NamedAfterSomebodyFamous Aleister]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Szandor]] [[TheOmen Damien]] [[TVTropesDrinkingGame Egregius]] [[GirlGenius Heterodyne,]] [[MadScientist ENGINEER]] - {{Magitek}} expert, BadassDriver and TheGunslinger, Aleister is a slightly crazy Sudrian noble rolling around with [[{{Eagleland}} Vinlandian]] lady AdventurerArchaeologist, elven scandalist writer and a gruff Ork detective.

!!![[AC:{{Shadowrun}}]]
* '''DarthWiki/TheCrew''' - a group of {{NPC}}s planned as a group of [[EvilCounterpart Prime Runners]] for my PBF campaign and getting their own background stories. Two characters are [[{{Expy}} expies]] of characters from other games - Lex is the Nosferatu wheelman from VampireTheRequiem and Nicks is Masaru, the LegendOfTheFiveRings Phoenix bodyguard.

!![[AC:Writing]]
* '''[[Literature/MichaelJWestParanormalInvestigator Mike West]]''' - New York-born detective, the protagonist and narrator of [[FilmNoir hardboiled]]-[[HPLovecraft Cthulhu]] pastiche mash-up stories. Cynical brat (his age is given as 21 in the first story, "The Case of [[ReAnimator Uncle Herbert]]") who follows the clues to absolutely logical and absolutely wrong conclusions.
** ''Trivia'': the first story references at least three Lovecraft stories directly ("Cool Air", "Pickman's Model" and, of course, "Reanimator") and one more ("Facts Concerning The Late Arthur Jermyn") mentioned as a Lovecraft story published in "Weird Tales" (April 1924, when "The Case..." takes place). Also, there's an obscure shout-out to ResidentEvil - BigBad Clapham-Lee uses mutated '''T'''etanus-bacteria (or T-Bacteria, for short, although this name is never used in the story) to create his zombies and hijacks a ship named "Veronica".
* '''Bjorn''' - Literature/BjornWestlanderAgentRetriever working for the Royal College of Magic in Kingdom of Haern. Multiclassing fighter/rogue/sorcerer (actually, a failed mage who took a second chance with a near-suicidal job of a [[AdventurerArchaeologist disposable ruin raider]]) who can fight a bit, crack locks a bit and hurl bolts of magic around if the need arises.
* '''Michal''' - {{Dhampyr}} student from ''Literature/BadBlood''.

A New Yorker, though only mentally (in a city with no Empire State Building, the Empire Stalin Building must do - for fuck's sake, why couldn't it have been subway instead?!), a philosopher with [[TookALevelInBadass A Degree In Badass]] (more exactly aesthetics, but selling a thesis on "The question of ''mimesis'' in {{Tabletop RPG}}s" does imply to decrepit European academia takes some amount of badassitude), a collector of CoolGuns (airsoft ones (replicas only, though), sarcastic {{punslinger}} with a habit of quoting various things (songs, movies, video games...) and dropping {{Grissom Oneliner}}s when situation just asks for it. Why "Not So Badass Longcoat"? Because when you're built like a chicken, it's hard to look badass in a black leather coat. coat (plus, it's a bit of an ArtifactTitle, since the longcoat was AwesomeButImpractical). Irony and one-liners kinda help, but overall, there's no full BadassLongcoat impact here.
!!In one big list:
here.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited - you wouldn't believe
''LetsPlay/Dzwiedz24'': my bad luck with women.

Either a [[WordSaladLyrics Word Salad song]] based on [[Music/{{Nirvana}} "Smells Like Teen Spirit"]], the one about my friend's dislike of parties based on [[Music/SystemOfADown "Chop Suey"]] (although it's difficult to sing even when sober!), or the one about BloodBowl based on Die Arzte's "Manner Sind Schweine". Or one of the other ones.

* TheNicknamer - piss me off and you'll get a nasty one, like "The Jersey Godzilla". Have a long nickname and you'll get a shorter one, like [[@/TuefelHundenIV "T-Hound"]].
* NoodleIncident - one New Year's Eve party. It involved
decade-old cruft (I left a couple of sharp implements things like two recut trailers and drunk chavs. "Hey, at least you didn't have to wash the ceiling."

It's called [=TropeFest=] 9001, because Trope level here [[MemeticMutation IS OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAND!]] This section contains things that are either too general or not avesome enough to publish them in TroperTales - since this troper is a writer and a roleplayer, his more notable characters are described here.
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic - too awesome to wear a pisspot[[labelnote:NSBL]]Yes. That's how I call helmets in general.[[/labelnote]], both when airsofting and (for his characters) when playing [=RPGs=].
!![[AC:TabletopGames]]
Whoever and whatever crawled out from the Sunday tabletopping sessions.
!!![[AC:WorldOfDarkness]]
* '''Mike''' - Michael Archer Sterling, New York-born [[VampireTheMasquerade Brujah]] [[VampireDetective Detective]], looks twentyish, over 120 years old. Childe of the New York Sheriff, Missis D. The quintessential (if not painfully cliche) ActionHero in a BadassLongcoat, first played straight, then evolved into [[TheStoic Stoic]] FilmNoir AntiHero that [[DeadpanSnarker Took A Level In Snarker]]. What remained were wisecracks and leather coat (although in the Play-By-Forum universe it gets destroyed and replaced every time a bigger fight erupts - [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] with remarks in the vein of "Oh fuck, great, another three hundred bucks down the drain!"). Lately, mainly by inspiration from {{Lost}}, Mike became TheNicknamer, preying mostly on the characters with NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast. Not like they're not asking for it.
-->'''Mike''' ''(upon meeting ''Fox Nevada'' and some time after chasing ''Jack Arizona'')'': I swear, if there's any [[TinyToons Max Montana]] around too, I'm gonna shoot his fucking head off.
* '''Sara''' - Sara Kinmont ([[SpellMyNameWithAnS Sara, without "h"]]), New York-born [[VampireTheMasquerade Malkavian]] Teen, over 80 years old. A redhead with GirlishPigtails, Sara started as a manic-depressive PluckyComicRelief girl, evolving into something way darker. Now, she has SplitPersonality - a third of childish GeniusDitz, a third of TheEeyore and a third of FemmeFatale. Pigtails remain, at least if she wakes up as the ditz (her personalities, apart from intense external triggers, switch every night when she wakes up from slumber).
-->'''Sara''' ''(discussing how to awaken an alternate personality of a different Malkavian)'': Something tells me that power drill wasn't such a crazy idea after all.
* '''Megan''' - Megan [[KnightRider Knight]], Californian [[VampireTheMasquerade Brujah]] [[TheLadette Ladette]] Street Racer, looks twentyish, thirty or so years old. Mike's Childe, a scrawny, near-flat-chested blonde grunge rock fan with kick-ass dexterity and driving skills (twelve dice with critical success re-rolls for anything that contains the risk of totaling a car at high speeds - in the very beginning!). Her background story is one huge TakeThat aimed at VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines: it starts with Mike and Sara arriving in LA and getting the correct impression that [=LaCroix=] is an asshole of unbelievable proportions. Looking for a way to annoy him even more, Mike decides to sire a second Childe - Megan. Then, it all goes downhill, with the CrowningMomentOfAwesome being the Giovanni Mansion blowing up due to Jack's little "gift" (don't try to fool a Malkavian with three dots in Auspex). The conclusion: after [=LaCroix=] got really pissed off at the trio and declared a Blood Hunt on them, Mike calls Strauss (the Tremere Elder) with a
short message: "Hey Max, tell the folks to find a new Prince. This one is going down." Then, [=LaCroix=] finds out the hard way that abuse of power (declaring a Blood Hunt without a good reason) dramatically shortens a couple of things. Lifespan being one of them.
-->'''Megan''' ''(showing her new car - a retired '94 Ford Crown Vic police car. Lifted nearly word for word from BluesBrothers)'': It's got a cop motor, 4.6 litre. It's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. Reinforced gearbox and transmission, goes 25 miles per hour faster than the civilian model. What do you say? Is it the new Brujahmobile or what?
* '''Callisto''' - real name unknown ([[IHaveManyNames she gave five different ones]] to five different people during one play session), Caribbean [[VampireTheMasquerade Brujah]] PirateGirl and an {{Expy}} of Marvel Comics' Morlock leader of the same name. Looks thirtyish, over 300 years old. Wears an EyepatchOfPower, mostly to signify she's so {{Badass}} that she pulled a [[SweetPollyOliver Polly Oliver]] and the crew [[TheReveal figured it out]] only after she was seriously wounded in a sea battle, losing an eye and gaining an InformedFlaw (due to the GM constantly forgetting about the dice modifier, she could shoot and drive like a perfectly healthy person). After the captain tried to leave her in the nearest port, she handed his ass to him as a suggestion that she wishes to stay aboard. Then, she become first a pirate captain (without the need of crossdressing) and then a vampire. Then, she happened to get forced onto a SuspendedAnimation Express to the '80s (pretty literally - impaled on a chunk of wood during a sea battle, tossed overboard and stuck in some dark corner of the sea bottom). After getting synchronized with reality, she continued to kick ass in modern times, finally getting stuck with a dilemma when the campaign was badly [[{{Cliffhanger}} cliffhanged]]. She was later {{retcon}}ned as a kind of vampiric aunt to Mike (she and Mike's Sire are Childer of the same vampire).
-->'''Callisto''' ''(yelling at ''the Prince'' after a particularly badly thought-out assassination)'': And all of this because Mr Fuckwit ''(points at the Toreador standing behind her)'' and Mr Shithead ''(points at the Assamite behind her)'' decided to go in and shoot one fucking painter!
* '''Matt''' - Matthew J. Browning, [[HunterTheVigil hunter]] from New Orleans. Not to be confused with similarly named [[{{Supernatural}} Winchester brothers]]. Currently working as a hotel detective in Amsterdam.
* '''Shane''' - Shane "Attacks-from-Shadows" Craven, [[WerewolfTheForsaken Iron Masters Irraka]] MrFixit and ex-paratrooper [[RetCon from Chicago]] (served with the 82nd Airborne in Afghanistan). [[ButtMonkey Omega of the pack]], FishOutOfWater and OnlySaneMan. He can disappear and make things go borked. Also tends to jump off buildings without a parachute and snark.
-->'''Shane''': Sorry guys, I don't speak DOG!
* '''Jim''' - Jim Carson, [[{{Badass}} GAR]] [[VampireTheMasquerade Gangrel]] [[TheGunslinger Gunslinger]], for AddedAlliterativeAppeal. [[BadassLongcoat Brown duster]] included. Currently wreaking havoc in Victorian London.
-->'''Jim''': This place is like a barn. Bullshit stacked all the way up to the roof.
* '''Lex''' - Alexandria Jane [[GunsmithCats Vincent]], Californian [[VampireTheRequiem Nosferatu]] WrenchWench and carjacker. A confused {{Tsundere}} who doesn't exactly grasp the whole vampiric schtick yet. Looks like a [[VampireTheMasquerade Cappadocian]]: PaleSkinnedBrunette with MostCommonSuperpower (an InformedAttribute really, considering her clan weakness - although getting two successes on two dice in a social roll is quite a feat) and [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]], but she clearly shows off her "tsun" side as well, being a TattooedCrook and having the temper of a badly pissed off [[VampireTheMasquerade Brujah]], displayed when the Kindred around her do something she [[MoralityPet doesn't approve of.]] Based on an earlier Nosferatu street racer character, Midnight, and her Masquerade {{Expy}}, Megan (see above).
-->'''Lex''': Shotgun? Check. Armor? Check. Grenades? Check. ROAD TRIP!
* '''Nick''' - [[Left4Dead Nick]] Gautreau, [[VampireTheRequiem Mekhet]] {{Hustler}} from [[TheBigEasy New Orleans]] who, after a disastrous fuck-up had to run away to SanFrancisco, where an ElegantGothicLolita HotLibrarian turned him into a vampire. After he had the shit beaten out of him in an alley.
-->'''Nick''': Well, screw you guys, I'm going home.

!!![[AC:LegendOfTheFiveRings]]
* '''Kurinto Itsuuda''' - a {{Ronin}}, serving the Crane Clan diplomat Doji [[TheWallflower Sunako]]. [[TheBlacksmith Bladesmith]] and detective with suspiciously quiet demeanor and ''very'' interesting skill set, Kurinto hangs around in the background until needed, getting into places reserved for the dirty rotten scoundrels and discretely listening in on all suspicious rumors available. Definitely '''not''' a ninja and eventual [[TheReveal Reveal]] isn't going to change that (Kurinto's Dark Secret has a different nature. Oh, and [[DoNotCallMePaul don't call him by his old name]]. He's gonna kill you for it, and for a good reason.). Also, owner of a peculiar katana (it's not a Kaiu Blade. It's just a blade... that was forged by a Kaiu...) and really shitty luck (although turning for the better after I stopped borrowing dice). Kurinto basically looks like an {{Expy}} of Jin from SamuraiChamploo, but with a five o'clock shadow, no glasses and a triangular scarf draped over his right arm like the iconic poncho of Man With No Name from AFistfulOfDollars. Also, typical Asian straw hat.\\
Cause of death: HonorBeforeReason. He tried to talk his way out of a fight with a very zealous and very misinformed Witch Hunter and his two Hida goons. Outnumbered, he managed to waste a Hida bushi before getting clubbed to death. [[spoiler:May or may not be NotQuiteDead.]]
--> '''Kurinto''' ''(draws katana, to a horde of visibly angry heimin)'': Go ahead. Make my day.
* '''Shiba Masaru''' - Phoenix bodyguard, guaranteed not to embarrass his charge... publicly. GeniusBruiser and GlassCannon of the team with [[ImplausibleFencingPowers fencing powers bordering on implausible]] - able to pull {{One Hit Kill}}s on weaker opponents with little trouble and, what's better, he managed to win a contest of mental prowess, going against courtiers and shugenja. Also, considering that the previous bodyguard of Doji Sunako went down (and how!), WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic?\\
Where Is He Now?: after kicking much ass, wriggling himself out of the deal with Doji Sunako's father, growing in power to stop being a GlassCannon, becoming a minor celebrity AND clocking a big-ass oni during the retake of Hiruma Castle, Masaru returned to his castle to focus on more... scholarly pursuits.
--> '''Masaru''': [[Quotes/Left4Dead I have not... come this far... to die now!]]
* '''Shinjo Leibao''' - one of the three Unicorns in the new team, good-hearted, but [[HotBlooded brash and arrogant]]. An orphan adopted by a minor Unicorn daimyo, Leibao enjoys [[LargeHam daikon]], comically inappropriate {{Badass Boast}}s and already achieved bad reputation for being a noisy and slightly unhinged [[TheIdiotFromOsaka idiot from the North]].

!!![[AC:DungeonsAndDragons]]
* '''Korin''' - Fighter and CosmicChewToy who usually gets so deep in trouble the rest of the party has to drag him out and patch him up (due to shitty luck with dice). TheLancer of the team (to a deliciously [[LargeHam hammy]] [[TheHero paladin]] and [[LittleMissSnarker snarky]] [[TheSmartGuy elven mage]]). Has to [[TookALevelInBadass take a few levels in badass]] and develop some more personality, though.

!!![[AC:TabletopGame/WolsungSteamPulpFantasy]]
* [[NamedAfterSomebodyFamous Aleister]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Szandor]] [[TheOmen Damien]] [[TVTropesDrinkingGame Egregius]] [[GirlGenius Heterodyne,]] [[MadScientist ENGINEER]] - {{Magitek}} expert, BadassDriver and TheGunslinger, Aleister is a slightly crazy Sudrian noble rolling around with [[{{Eagleland}} Vinlandian]] lady AdventurerArchaeologist, elven scandalist writer and a gruff Ork detective.

!!![[AC:{{Shadowrun}}]]
* '''DarthWiki/TheCrew''' - a group of {{NPC}}s planned as a group of [[EvilCounterpart Prime Runners]] for my PBF campaign and getting their own background stories. Two characters are [[{{Expy}} expies]] of characters from other games - Lex is the Nosferatu wheelman from VampireTheRequiem and Nicks is Masaru, the LegendOfTheFiveRings Phoenix bodyguard.

!![[AC:Writing]]
* '''[[Literature/MichaelJWestParanormalInvestigator Mike West]]''' - New York-born detective, the protagonist and narrator of [[FilmNoir hardboiled]]-[[HPLovecraft Cthulhu]] pastiche mash-up stories. Cynical brat (his age is given as 21 in the first
story, "The ''The Case of [[ReAnimator Uncle Herbert]]") who follows the clues to absolutely logical and absolutely wrong conclusions.
** ''Trivia'': the first story references at least three Lovecraft
Herbert''.
* ''Literature/BjornWestlanderAgentRetriever'': several fantasy short
stories directly ("Cool Air", "Pickman's Model" and, of course, "Reanimator") and one more ("Facts Concerning The Late Arthur Jermyn") mentioned as a Lovecraft story published in "Weird Tales" (April 1924, when "The Case..." takes place). Also, there's an obscure shout-out to ResidentEvil - BigBad Clapham-Lee uses mutated '''T'''etanus-bacteria (or T-Bacteria, for short, although this name is never used in the story) to create his zombies and hijacks a ship named "Veronica".
* '''Bjorn''' - Literature/BjornWestlanderAgentRetriever working for the Royal College of Magic in Kingdom of Haern. Multiclassing fighter/rogue/sorcerer (actually,
about a failed mage who took a second chance with a near-suicidal job of a [[AdventurerArchaeologist disposable ruin raider]]) who can fight a bit, crack locks a bit and hurl bolts of magic around if the need arises.
* '''Michal''' - {{Dhampyr}}
student from ''Literature/BadBlood''.

However, as a subversion, I refer to it as "the sound a grenade launcher makes" (as in the first two VideoGame/{{Quake}} games, grenade launchers made a metallic "plonk" sound when fired).

* DrunkenSong - sooner or later one of my friends is gonna bring this up when we're drinking and we'll launch into one of the lyrical parodies I wrote in high school. Either a song about [[{{Fallout}} Supermutants' stupidity]] based on [[IronMaiden "The Nomad"]], the one about my friend's dislike of parties based on [[SystemOfADown "Chop Suey"]], or the one about BloodBowl based on Die Arzte's "Manner Sind Schweine". Or one of the other ones.
