Hey guys. You're looking at my page.

Granted, this should be obvious given that my name is at the top, but I digress.

I'm a person of [[MultipleChoicePast many names and origins]], though I am verifiably male at the very least. Just call me Rayne, or, for the daring, Ro.

What's that? My hobbies? Video Games, Eating, Sleeping, and reading the unholy abominations more commonly called badfic. And not just MyImmortal or [[{{Fanfic/HalflifeFulllifeConsequences}} Full Life Consequences]]. I'm talking {{Fanfic/Celebrian}} and [[{{Fanfic/TheGirlWhoLived}} The Girl Who Lived]] kind of bad.

I also happen to be a [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic die-hard Brony.]]

I'm not all fun and daisies, though; I have a few [[HumansAreMorons striking]] [[HumansAreBastards personality]] [[ControlFreak problems.]] I'm trying to overcome them; the last is the most critical, and thus is the one I'm currently focused mostly on. Besides those, I'm incredibly self-critical; I like to write, and people who have seen my work say I'm quite good, but I constantly find flaws in everything I write and so almost nobody ever gets to read it because its not "ready."

My other big issue is that I tend to be [[{{Understatement}} a little]] [[CausticCritic caustic]] when it comes to things like FanDumb, HateDumb, and especially my personal PetPeeveTrope, '''[[NostalgiaFilter NOSTALGIA FILTER.]]''' I do my best to remain objective when editing pages that aren't this one, though, and I prefer to avoid [[FlameWar Flame Wars]] on such subjects. I do have one major BerserkButton; see below.

I eat [[MarySue Sues]] for breakfast. They taste terrible, but it's all I've got. And I don't take shit from CandleJack either. [[TVTropesWikiDrinkingGame Those six packs won't drink themselves, so you'd better get right on that.]]
----
!!Tropes Universally Applying to Me:

* {{Asexuality}}: [[BerserkButton Go on. Tell me one more time that I'm just in denial.]]
** Side note: I'm not Aromantic, though.
* BadassLongcoat: I own one. For practical reasons, mostly (it rains a lot 'round here), but I admittedly included the look when considering the buy.
* MadeOfIron: I have a reputation for surviving things that should have killed me, and walking away all but uninjured from situations that put far more physically fit individuals in the hospital. Perhaps most famously (around my high school, anyways), I once passed out in English class; it was determined that my blood sugar was so low my doctor was amazed I hadn't dropped dead at that point.
* MustHaveCaffeine: Yes I must. Because it helps with the fact that I'm...
* NotAMorningPerson
* SwordCane: I also own one. Not so many practical reasons for this.
----
!!Tropes that frequently pop up surrounding me:

* AcceptableTargets: Pretty much limited to the various [[FanDumb FanDumbs]]/[[HateDumb HateDumbs]] and to racists/sexists/other intolerant people. Which can lead to a sort of...
** HypocriticalHumor: I can't stand intolerance.
* BrainBleach: Probably my second most abused substance behind anything with caffeine in it. Considering the stuff I do when I'm bored, it's not surprising.
* HypeAversion / HypeBacklash: Chances are, if it's been hailed as "the greatest *insert thing here* ever" I'm liable not to like it much. Notable examples include CallOfDuty, [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann TTGL]], and {{Twilight}}.
** Of particular note in the HypeBacklash category is the [[{{Portal}} Companion]] [[CompanionCube Cube.]] The extreme hype over it annoyed me to the point that I LITERALLY [[EvilLaugh laughed like a sadistic madman]] when [[KillItWithFire throwing it in the incinerator.]] I nearly had a panic attack when [[spoiler: it came back at the end of Portal 2.]]
* NostalgiaFilter: [[SubvertedTrope Please, my nostalgia goggles destroyed themselves on the factory line.]] In other words, my childhood experiences with media tended not to end as well as my current ones do.
** SacredCow / FandomHeresy: I've committed numerous such acts, including:
*** [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Relegating my copy of Pokemon Blue]] to the dust-collecting shelf the second [[PokemonGoldAndSilver I got my hands on Gold.]]
*** Selling off my copy of [[SuperSmashBros SSB]] in order to help save for a copy of Melee. (To make it [[SarcasmMode even more of a crime against all things good,]] I wound up getting Melee for my birthday, and used the money to buy and enjoy SuperMarioSunshine instead.
*** And perhaps the most [[SarcasmMode heinous]] [[SacredCow act]] [[UnacceptableTargets of all]], [[PercussiveMaintenance throwing my copy of]] [[TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall Daggerfall]] across the room after [[GameBreakingBug finding out the hard way the main quest bug,]] [[ObviousBeta and falling through the floor for the 237th time.]] Yes, I did in fact count [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Every. Single. One.]]

!!Tropes frequent in my writing:

* AnyoneCanDie - I'm rather fond of this one.
* AuthorAppeal - Rather than listing them all here, I'll put a * by any tropes that qualify. (Note: Any and all AuthorAppeal in my work is strictly non-sexual.)
* BadassLongcoat *
* {{BFG}} / {{BFB}} / {{BFS}} *
* BigDamnHeroes - Frequently.
* CoolPlane / CoolStarship *
* DungeonPunk * - I won't lie; this is my absolute favorite setting to work with, and one of two that I most frequently use.
* FaceDeathWithDignity / GoOutWithASmile - Overcoming the fear of death is a requisite character development for any character who wants to earn the title of BadAss.
** HeroicSacrifice - Typically results in the above.
* GunPorn / TechnologyPorn *
* GunshipRescue * - Could be listed with BigDamnHeroes but I tend to prefer aerial badassery.
* MagicAIsMagicA - Inconsistency is perhaps my biggest pet peeve in writing, and as such I tend to be VERY firm about the limits of any magic/tech I show; Exception is given to instances where technological development or augmentation would lead to new usages.
* MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness - My other biggest setting, and second favorite to work with, is Sci-Fi. My works tend to fall squarely under Mohs/PhysicsPlus; I'll make up plenty of AppliedPhlebotinum, but I tend to stick to real-world physics when non-phlebotinum is involved, and when using phlebotinum I tend to use at least semi-plausible explanations (or at the very least give an explanation that modern science can't disprove due to scientific/technological limitations.)
* TheMultiverse \ CanonWelding - All of my writings take place in the same canon, merely different universes; this is shown through the prevalence of one particular race of beings (the only ones thusfar known to be capable of interuniversal travel) throughout my various works, though sometimes their presence (or former presence, depending on the time period) is merely implied as opposed to directly stated.
* OrchestralBombing - A variation; I always, ALWAYS have music playing when writing battles, helps really get me into it and write better. For example, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS-Ea4pLnsk this is one of my personal favorites]]
* OneOfTheBoys / TheLadette - I'd estimate the ratio of more masculine to more feminine women in my writings is roughly 4-to-1. Given how most (around 70%) of my friends are girls who fall into one of the above, this isn't surprising.
* ProphecyTwist - I make no secret that I HATE writing traditional "ChosenOne" stories, so if you see a prophecy in my works, you are permitted to immediately jump to the conclusion that it's being misread somehow.
* VasquezAlwaysDies - While I generally avert this, it does happen from time to time (though always a variation in that I have NEVER written a Vasquez character dying in favor of a more feminine character; if I off a hard-ass, it'll be in favor of another hard-ass who I have other plans for.)

* BadassLongcoat: I own one.

* SwordCane: I also own one.

->"If rain is the tears of the Earth, let her cry. [[{{ptitlebcvjiokg}} Even the cruelest, most uncaring people]] need to feel bad some time."

** AcceptableSexualTargets: I'm on the receiving end of this one. See above.

*** And perhaps the most [[SarcasmMode heinous]] [[SacredCow act]] [[UnacceptableTargets of all]], [[PercussiveMaintenance throwing my copy of]] [[{{Ptitlei7qc8lhy}} Daggerfall]] across the room after [[GameBreakingBug finding out the hard way the main quest bug,]] [[ObviousBeta and falling through the floor for the 237th time.]] Yes, I did in fact count Every. Single. One.

More to come.

My other big issue is that I tend to be [[{{Understatement}} a little]] [[CausticCritic caustic]] when it comes to things like FanDumb, HateDumb, and especially my personal PetPeeveTrope, '''[[NostalgiaFilter NOSTALGIA FILTER.]]''' I do my best to remain objective when editing pages that aren't this one, though, and I prefer to avoid [[FlameWar Flame Wars]] on such subjects.

* {{Asexuality}}: Go on. Tell me one more time that I'm just in denial.

* HumansAreBastards / HumansAreMorons: I show shades of this mentality at times; it's one of my biggest faults and contributes to a lot of my more secluded behavior; I'm trying to get over it.

* ReluctantWarrior - I've been trained only to fight if there's no other way out of a bad situation. I won't hurt anyone except in self-defense. On the other hand, the three times in my life it's been necessary, I do NOT dick around. (Note that I'm not trying to brag about this or any of the following; I hate physical confrontation with a passion)
** FragileSpeedster: I'm built a lot like a taller version of [[TeamFortress2 The Scout]]...
** TheCombatPragmatist - But what I lost in raw muscle, I make up for in knowing where to hit people.

I eat [[MarySue Sues]] for breakfast. They taste terrible.

!!Tropes Applying to Me:

* CombatPragmatist - Ask the few people I've been in fights with; I don't play 'fair.'
* MustHavecaffeine - Yes I must. Because it helps with the fact that I'm...

I eat [[MarySue Sues]] for breakfast. They taste terrible.

I'm a person of many names and origins, though I am verifiably male at the very least. Just call me Rayne, or, for the daring, Ro.
