History Tropers / SBaneN

'''Other Pages for [=SBaneN=]:'''\\

'''POSSIBLY IMPORTANT NOTE:''' Right now, I'm planning on rewriting my Troper Page. There's too many things that seem out of place and such. (At least, I think so.) - ~ @/SBaneN

'''TV Tropes Death Count: 1'''\\
This count is a count for the times that I've been in trouble here. Idiot being that I am, this usually often happens. I remember being banned once from a forum for taking things literally, being banned for getting my account hacked (I'm not allowed to create a new account anymore, and a hacker deleted my previous account at another forum), and, at another forum, I've been banned just because I exist. I can't remember what forums these ridiculous bans came from, though. Which is a good thing, too.

Other Pages for @/SBaneN:
* [=@/SBaneN=] (you're reading it right now)
* [=TroperWall/SBaneN=] (where "vandalism" goes)

Who am I? I'm @/SBaneN. Call me Shane. @/SBaneN stands for ''Shane "Bane" Neumann'' - I was a bit lazy. My birthday is on 25 February, and I was born in 1996. This makes me a [[WesternZodiac Pisces]]. And, in Chinese astrology, I'm a [[EasternZodiac Rat]]. So I'm a fish-rat. I am a ''male'' {{Troper}}. And a teenager. And this page is pretty long, too.

I live in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gansbaai Gansbaai]], UsefulNotes/SouthAfrica, I have 30 fears (still in counting as well as very perplexing; who would have a fear of ''mirrors''?), and my favourite colours (always in this order) are green, red, blue, yellow, orange, ''pink'', black and white. I had a cat named Simba. I remember random dates, such as the day I got my first detention, the day that my first cat Raichu got killed by a car, et cetera. I also memorized 75[[superscript:6]] in June 2010, because I was bored in Maths class. According to most people in my hometown, I am "[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} weird, crazy and random]]" - which, in my opinion, is kind-of true (sometimes going UpToEleven as well).

These days, I'm a high-school dropout, because I refuse to get detention for something that only five other students did (the entire class got one). I also mod Cave Story, and I work on two fanfictions at the moment: ''Pokémon - Rebel and Revolt'', and ''Pokémon - Convex and Concave''. I'm also working on an Role-Playing Game. Sometimes I make random poems. I think said poems are horrible. In one fan fiction, I'm a protagonist. In the RPG, I'm a protagonist. In one of my Cave Story mods, I'm a protagonist. In all three, I have abilities.

I also take [[LiteralMinded everything seriously]]. If anyone tells me "you can say that again"... well, [[CaptainObvious I say it again]].

The worst thing I remember that anyone has ever said about me was: "Shane should fall down a cliff and someone should let an anvil fall on his head so that he can die" (exact words).

I have a lot of abilities in The Battle "forum games" that I have made at ''four'' forums thus far: Mossmouth Forums, the Little Fighter Empire Forums, and, of course, the Shane's Cave Story Forums, and I even have a ''forum'' for The Battle! I'm not even a human there, instead, I'm an Inhuman from Earth.

I mainly joined because [[spoiler:of [[VideoGame/JenkasNightmare Jenka's Nightmare]] being a page here, and because]] I wanted to. And because this place has cool people that can (somehow) calm me down with their hilarious posts.

I also get easily depressed. If someone mentions "spades" I remember when someone bashed me with one over the head 15 times when I was 8 years old. And I'm one very honest person, so if you want my honest opinion, feel free to ask. Although you may not get the answer you was hoping for...

I only respond to "Shane" and "Bane". And sometimes (but very rarely) on "Wayne Jakobus Michael the Dark Master of Death and Destruction and Chaos and Oblivion" (only during Halloween of which I know almost nothing about because it's not celebrated in South Africa as far as I know).

Any other names, I ignore. That as a result of being insulted, mocked, bullied, beat up, blamed for everything, and who knows what else, since 23 January 2003 to 7 March 2011. Yes, that really did happen to me. That (and getting detention for something that I didn't even do) led to me leaving school for good. I was bleeding almost every single school day. But did anybody care? Nope, nobody did. Not even the teachers.

I'm an admin of three forums, and I'm a member of about 15 forums.

Fun-fact: The reason I chose "@/SBaneN" as my troper name is so that @/KarjamP couldn't instantly identify me on the first few days that I signed up here.

I am currently on a "trope-hunt" to find tropes that describe myself, and (somehow) some of them came to mind as names of Pokémon in my fan fictions. Don't ask. It won't end well. It will result in... chaos, I guess. If you want to see my first post, [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=000000000000000000000830&page=694#17349 go here]].

Sorry if I seem annoying.

Oh, and by the way: '''[[WallOfText Walls of text]]''' below. You have been warned.

[[TroperWall/SBaneN Link to the Troper Wall of Shane]].

[[folder:Tropes that apply to me]]
Here is a list of tropes that apply to me, whether it's the real me or the me from the Cave Story mods I'm working on, the me from my {{RPG}} or the me from the Battle. '''If you want to add a trope, do so in the "Tropes that other members believe apply to me" folder.''' Thank you.

Feel free to extra lines/descriptions to it (with your troper name of course), if you'd like - if it's a trope that isn't in this folder, then the "Tropes that other members believe apply to me" folder is best for that.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: Apparently.
* AfraidOfNeedles: And a lot, lot more.
* AnIcePerson: I like ice. This is mainly because I don't like fire (I have pyrophobia). [[{{Irony}} Ironically, though,]] I use "burn" in one of my catch phrases.
* AnimalsHateHim: Birds, dogs, insects, arachnids and... I dunno what else. Several thousand more, I guess.
* ApologisesALot: A habit of mine. Since 23 January 2003. I even apologized for ''existing''.
* AskAStupidQuestion: A lot of my questions seem like this, but it's not ''my'' fault that I know very little about anime and such!
* UsefulNotes/AspergerSyndrome: Probably, although I don't know yet if I really am. Some say I am, but I don't really know yet.
* [[{{Badass}} Bad...]] [[UnusualEuphemism Arrow?]]: Not in real life, considering I can't even lift a ''table''. In my free form [=RPGs=], however...
** This can probably ''also'' count for some video games I play.
* BadDreams: A lot of them. Most of them involve me getting killed by something I fear. And most of the killers are GasMaskMooks. Who like to overkill me. ''All'' of my fears are towards the end of this list. Somewhere.
** That's also where one of my imaginary friends come from - she's in a CaveStory mod. [[spoiler:Her name is Kim Tyranto.]]
* BattleAura: The Battle only. Green when in Super Inhuman form, red when in Raging Inhuman form, blue when in Hyper Inhuman form. And then, the combinations. Orange when Raging and Super Inhuman forms are combined, purple when in Hyper and Raging Inhuman forms, and yellow when in Hyper and Super Inhuman forms. If all three are combined then it's a white battle aura.
* BerserkButton: Several of them. To me, 9 December 2012 is Berserk Button Day, because several people pressed my Berserk Buttons. And be warned that this is a large list of them. I actually have 36 berserk buttons!... And sometimes I inadvertently trigger other people's Berserk Buttons. Never mind overkill, since I cause a chain reaction of berserk chaos. I believe it's because of... my horrible past.
** Insult me? One of my Berserk Buttons.
** Steal my identity? Another Berserk Button.
** Spam my forums? You'll get dealt with swiftly, although if you're lucky, you won't witness my full fury.
** Mention the "S" word that ends with "X" and contains the fifth letter in-between. [[note]]In other words, using the word "sex" is a BerserkButton. Yes, you read right. Adding the letter "y" to the end also is a berserk button.[[/note]]
** Whatever you do, '''don't''' hurt my friends. Or ban them without good reason. It really gets me angry. Angry doesn't even begin to describe my fury.
** Mention cars, and I'll get angry (because that's what killed my first cat, Raichu, on 21 September 2003, and my second cat, Simba, on 3 March 2013). FromBadToWorse because of my inability to control my anger.
** ''Eating fish'' is something that makes me angry. This because my zodiac sign is Pisces.
** Being hugged and patted on the head are ''also'' berserk buttons to me.
** Being glomped is a BerserkButton.
** Being ''kissed'' is a massive BerserkButton.
** And people who don't read what I write. If I write "if I remember correctly" and people don't read it, then I get very angry, enough to even leave forums.
*** I actually left two forums because of the people banning others for no reason. Which led to one of the forums having only about six active members.
** And it's way worse than that. ''Facebook'' is one of my Berserk Buttons. So is Twitter.
** And calling me names other than Shane, Bane or @/SBaneN.
** And not allowing me to be myself. Seriously. That. Is. '''''ANNOYING.''''' I have to be myself.
** And getting ninja'd. Especially if it's a monster post of mine that gets ninja'd.
** And arguing. Especially about religion. And I'm not even a religious person.
** And calling me a troll. I am ''not'' a green-skinned monster, I am a ''human''.
** And also startling me.
** And also, ponies. If I start killing somebody because of it, I will have no mercy. Although I only kill in video games.
** And talking about someone else who's called Bane. This doesn't apply to tropers, as I prefer to be called Shane instead.
** And throwing cats with rocks. Killing them will trigger an UnstoppableRage. Sane with outright attacking them.
** And saying that everything is an illusion. That really annoys me. I actually banned five people from my forums ''just for that'', because my account got hacked - it was the hacker, not me.
** And hacking stuff. Unless it's CaveStory or LittleFighter2, in which case it's okay. The reason that hacking stuff makes me angry is because my accounts at other forums were hacked several hundred times in 2012 and 2013...
** And being a liar.
** [[RunningGag And]] forcing me to do something that I don't want to do. Example, forcing me to turn on the computer when there's almost no electricity. Although showing my anger usually leads to getting punished, I just hide it as TranquilFury.
** And saying I'm female. Even if it has "he/she" in it, I get angry. I am a '''male'''.
** And saying "U mad" or variations of that. I. '''''HATE'''''. Trolls. Mainly because of an account hacker that hacks most of my accounts is one.
** ''AND'' being adopted. I already have biological parents and I'm living with them. Whether I like it or not.
** '''DON'T''' delete my CaveStory mods. That is enough to make me so mad that whoever deleted it will wish they had never existed.
** And don't try to kill my cat. If you even try, or succeed... I'm not even to guess what I'll do out of anger.
*** Someone killed my cat on 3 March 2013. [[CatchPhrase My fury flowed so free]] that both my parents had to restrain me... and ''failed''. However, I was unable to catch up with the stupid drunk driver, although I did cause some minor property damage...
** '''''AND''''' doing something horrible a day before or on my birthday.
*** The municipality fined my family R1,289.55 on 11 February 2013, threatening to disconnect the electricity and water supply on 24 February 2013, and the reason? '''''Just because I exist'''''. I got so mad that [[NotSoWeak I broke three pens simultaneously]].
** [[OverlyLongGag And poking me.]] Judging by this long wall of text listed ''just under the trope'' I may as well be a BerserkButton [[AtomicFBomb Bomb]] instead.
** And 403 Forbidden errors.
** Gangnam Style. If you value your life, don't ''ever'' mention it, or post a video of it. At my forums, just posting anything related to it ''is punishable by being banned''.
** Also, noisy ads are a berserk button.
* BeyondTheImpossible: Somehow, I've managed to say something so random that it even got [[Tropers/{{Inhopelessguy}} Hopey]] to feel his own wackiness being comparable to an individual with a normal societal functioning. It also counts as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome. If you're wondering what I said, [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=hof4p2kfdch3qcol68ix5sbv&page=5980#149497 go here]].
* BrilliantButLazy: I'm not ''that'' brilliant, but sometimes I appear such. Hell, knowing 75[[superscript:6]], you'd think I'd be very brilliant (rivaling maybe even ''Einstein'' somehow) but I'm not. Regardless, I'm ''lazy'' with a capital ''lay''. I'm surprised that I even put enough effort in modding and writing and troping.
** It gets to the point of me not doing what I'm told to do.
** If I have to answer a phone (and I'm too lazy to speak normally on it), I just put it on speakerphone instead. ''That'' goes to show how lazy I am.
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: I'd prefer my left arm to be broken by an EldritchAbomination, not getting broken by falling off a ladder (like on 17 May 2013).
* BrownEyes: In real life, I have brown eyes. In the games in which I'm a protagonist of (or a character), my eye colour is brown as well...
** GreenEyes: ... until I transform into Super Inhuman form (mostly in ''Shane's Cave Story'' and ''The Battle'' RPGs that I have made at some forums I joined), in which case it's green.
** IcyBlueEyes: If I transform into Hyper Inhuman form in ''The Battle'', my eyes are an icy blue colour.
** [[RedEyesTakeWarning Red Eyes]]: If I transform into Raging Inhuman form in ''The Battle'', my eyes turn red.
* [[JustForFun/ComeForTheXStayForTheY Come for the Wiki Page of Jenka's Nightmare, Stay for the Forum Games of the TV Tropes Fora as well as the Friendly Community]]
* CaptainObvious: Obviously, some things I say are so obvious that... it's obviously obvious, but calling me Captain Obvious annoys me.
* CatchPhrase: Several.
** "That's gain!" when I win a card game.
** "Guten rotschwert" or "Sword of March" when I'm surprised
** "I'm bored" when... well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin when I'm]] [[CaptainObvious very bored]].
** "Better safe than sorry" as of sometime in December 2012.
** "Burn you/them/him/her/etc." when I'm angry at somebody.
** "You're finished!" when I have no other choice but to kill an insect - I hate insects that much.
** "Seventy-five raised to the power of six is..." when I intend on using ''mathematics'' as a weapon. Which horribly fails, of course.
** "''My anger flows free~''". Blame that on an avatar of mine.
** As of June 2013, "'''OBJECTION!'''" is one... ''because of AceAttorney''. Yes, a video game ruined my life by adding a CatchPhrase. If this isn't the correct trope, though, notify me, please.
* ChallengeGamer: I like challenges. And I often fail at them, but that's what makes it fun, in my opinion.
* {{Conlang}}: the words and pronunciation of the Draconian language are made up entirely by me, although translations are direct and grammar remains the same. Present Draconian, that is. Past Draconian is just English words spelled backwards. (The Draconians were lazy.)
* CoolLoser: If I lose a card game or something, then I don't get angry, because it's just a game. Unless I'm being insulted, in which case I lose it totally and go all out angry. ''My fury will flow freer than a river~'' I guess.
* CrazyAwesome: Sometimes, my randomness results in this.
* CrazyPrepared: Not ''always'', but as of ''Hope of Shané'', I've started making anti-cheating measures for the mod to prevent cheaters from obtaining items prematurely. Life Capsules may decrease max life, or side quests may become lost forever...
* CriticalResearchFailure: I have a habit of not doing the needed research. Example: adding TVTropes to a fanfic, but said part of the fanfic is before ''TVTropes even existed''. I fixed that part of the fanfic.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Somehow, I've managed to say something so random that it even got [[Tropers/{{Inhopelessguy}} Hopey]] to feel his own wackiness being comparable to an individual with a normal societal functioning. It also counts as BeyondTheImpossible. As I said at the aforementioned trope on this page: if you're wondering what I said, [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=hof4p2kfdch3qcol68ix5sbv&page=5980#149497 go here]].
** Between 11 May and 14 May, I actually ''continued'' modding CaveStory, ''despite'' the fact that my wireless keyboard's batteries were dead. I must be pretty determined to work on the mod! Sadly, though, I wasn't ''that'' determined to make posts and such, but at least... I HAVE RETURNED! More like a "Crowning Moment of Determination".
* DarkAndTroubledPast: My past is this. Entirely.
** I have posted [[http://shane.freeforums.org/post7423.html#p7423 part of my past]] on my forums on 20 January 2013.
** As of sometime July 2013, I discovered that my past is inescapable. And that I can't do anything to get over it.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Because my life is just plain... unfair. I ''may'' have found this purpose, but... I don't think it counts.
* {{Determinator}}: Even though you've encountered many mishaps in your life, you still managed to stay strong. You're great, you know. - @/{{Unprettier}} (ascended on 21 May 2013 at 00:26 GMT+2)
** To the point of still modding CaveStory with just a mouse and no keyboard, or modding it while my left arm is broken.
* DialogueReversal: Sometimes. Mostly because of Ryudo from GrandiaII though.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Sometimes I say this.
* DisproportionateRetribution: My life is full of this. I get punished for earthquakes and for things that I didn't even do or couldn't do!
** And for things that my cat does.
* DoesntLikeGuns: Mainly because I have a fear of them.
* DragonRider: In ''The Battle'' [=RPGs=] that I make on some forums, and in ''Shane's Cave Story'' (although that's still in planning).
* DualWielding: It would apply to me, if I had swords and there was a sword fight or something. Or if monsters really existed (such as two-headed orcs or whatever).
* DuelsDecideEverything: I'm a duelist with 724 Yu-Gi-Oh cards, although nowadays I don't have any opponents (mainly because I left school for good). I remember dueling with one of my few friends just to choose which games that were on my computer was to be played. I only won about 5 times. The rest of the time, I lost.
* ElectiveMute: I rarely say a single word most of the times. In fact, I'm so silent that one would think that I lost the ability to speak!
** TheVoiceless: As of 2 March 2013, I've stopped saying ''anything'' out loud, because according to my parents, "anything I say is just plain nonsense" - my father said that with swear words.
* {{Emoticon}}: I tend to use these. A ''lot''. :P
* EnemyToAllLivingThings: This is what others say I am. Including to life and planets.
* EpicFail: ''Everyone'' has the same personality in any of my projects.
** Also, my modding skill. It's enough to make entire planets RageQuit.
* [[EverythingTryingToKillYou Everything Trying To Kill Me]]: In my home town, at least, every ''living'' thing is trying to kill me, by the looks of things.
* ExactWords: I '''will''' use this against you. Sometimes. You have been squirreled.
* ExpospeakGag: I sometimes speak in weird technical ways.
* FlatWhat: My responses are this, sometimes.
* ForeignLanguageTirade: To people who don't speak Afrikaans, some things I say in a rant, will be in Afrikaans.
** "SWAARD VAN MAART!?"
* [[ForgetfulJones Forgetful Shane]]: I consider myself to have the memory of a ''dried trout''. I remember random things though.
** I even forget about ''[[Website/{{Google}} Google]]'' of all things.
* FriendlessBackground: I had no friends until 2008, and at the end of 2009, my ''first'' friend left Gansbaai to go to school in Cape Town. My other friends don't really care about me, so they're not friends. As a result, I prefer to be alone since 2004 - to the point of not even wanting to get married. ''Ever''. Or have a girlfriend - while most boys my age would have a girlfriend, I don't.
* HatesBeingTouched: So much, that it's a berserk button. Because most of the times, it's painful. Being punched and kicked and beat up... So much pain...
* HeroicBSOD: Not really heroic, but that's how depressed I feel sometimes.
* HonestyIsTheBestPolicy: Not being honest is... well, a ''berserk button'' for me.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: If I were, then I'd have gotten detention for ''horrible handwriting''.
* [[IdiotHero Idiot Teenager]]: I'm an idiot sometimes, considering that I forget to mention that, when I punish myself, it's by throwing the ''Shane's Cave Story 1'' version of myself into a deathtrap.
* IJustWriteTheThing: Whenever I have to desperately think up of character names for Cave Story mods or Pokémon fan fictions. Or other works of mine (like the ''Rhue's Journey'' stories that I have yet to post somewhere). The same goes for dialogue.
** ''Double'' averted ([[BeyondTheImpossible is that even possible?]]) in the case of the ''Hope of Shané'' mods, in that the character names are given by other people mostly, ''and'' dialogue is written by other people as well.
* ILikeSwords: Definitely this. Maybe this contributed to some of my catch phrases?
* ImprobableWeaponUser: When I have no choice, I will use ''anything'' to fight foes, if need be. Including keyboards, books, bowls, and even cat food.
* InsistentTerminology: Yeah. Don't call me "sir", I'm a teenager.
* ItsAllMyFault: I say this whenever I'm depressed. And I got depressed rather often in 2012, but I won't let life get me depressed in 2013! ... Not as much.
** Sadly, I failed.
* IWasHavingSuchANiceDream: Rarely. Most of the time, I get nightmares of being murdered by GasMaskMooks.
* KamehameHadoken: In video games where I'm the protagonist. Especially the Frozenken attack, and the Sparkoken attack. And then it occasionally borders with ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: There's a reason why I always go for katanas in video games: I have a fear of guns. Which, come to think of it, doesn't make sense if I use guns in my Cave Story mods where I'm the protagonist. That's just senseless.
* LimitBreak: Plenty of them in The Battle. A real life limit break? "Deletion", which I can only use at my own forums. I delete spambots and trolls.
* LiteralMinded: This either leads to fun, or pain. Depends on when I'm being literal minded.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: In ''The Battle'' [=RPGs=] of mine. In one of them, I have more than ''twenty'' characters while the other participants have only three or four. Go on, take a look at the ''[[http://sbanenthebattle.createaforum.net/t11-shane-s-characters#21 first post]]'', where a list of all my characters are. I dare you.
** Never mind that, one of these days ''Dragon Riders'' will have [[http://shanescavestory.createaforum.com/character-lists/character-list-shane/ more characters than that]]. ''In just the first episode''.
* MessyHair: One could say that my hair is a living thing, because combs and stuff are useless. It got to the point that my mother even compared me to [[DragonBall a Saiyan]].
* MindScrew: I sometimes cause this.
* MostFanficWritersAreGirls: Averted. I'm writing two fanfics, both of Pokémon: ''Dusk and Dawn'' and ''Spark and Steel''. [[CaptainObvious And I'm male]].
* MysteriousPast: My past is this to those who don't know anything about it.
* {{Ninja}}: A forum version. So much so, in fact, that on 8 December 2012, I ninja'd several hundreds of posts... which resulted in it becoming "Ninja Day" at my forums as well as the forums where it occurred at.
** NinjaEditor: I rarely have to edit a post so this is rarely applied to me. But I cause others to become it sometimes.
** Record of posts I've been ninja'd by: ''Fifty-four''.
** Well, ''was''. Now it's ''hundred ninety-nine''. Almost 200. ''WOW'' I must've been slow.
* NoSenseOfHumor: I take everything seriously and literally. Of course, [[HilarityEnsues this leads to hilarity]], sometimes. But not always. I actually got banned for this once.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Averted in real life...
** StopPokingMe: ... but not in ''Warcraft III'' - I continuously click on several units out of boredom.
* NoSocialSkills: That said, everyone hates me where I live, so I guess that's why. Most of my social skills (if I even ''have'' any) were developed through online communication starting 12 February 2012.
* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Ever. Don't even know what the last word means, though, but whatever it means, it sounds horrible. Like a man-eating monster that eats brains ''and'' organs.
* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: My life really was horrible.
* NotSoWeak: Before 2009, I was a weakling. Since 2009, I've slowly become stronger. I have never fought anyone in real life, though. But I will if I must. Especially when I'm angry.
* PaletteSwap: I recolour a lot of things. CaveStory, [[{{Pokemon}} Pokémon]]... I ''rarely'' shade things, though, that's probably why.
* RageBreakingPoint: Most likely, considering how quick-tempered I am. Sometimes I change my signature to ''My anger flows free~'' because of this... I guess.
* RandomlyGifted: If you consider ''not feeling the cold unless one is ill'' as a gift. I never feel cold, unless I am ill. And one of my only friends said that I can teleport, although that was just because I was very fast.
* RebelliousSpirit: Sadly, averted - I was ''forced'' to sign up to Facebook, and several other places. Compared to a rebellious teenager on a South African television show (that's in Afrikaans), I'm even ''less'' rebellious than most teens my age.
* SarcasmBlind: It's way over my head. Therefore, I have no SarcasmMode.
* SelfImposedChallenge: I do this ''rarely''. 29 May 2013, I tried beating [[LaMulana Palenque]] with only my right hand (as my left arm was broken). [[TooDumbToLive I didn't lose like I thought I would.]] [[BeyondTheImpossible I won.]]
* ShrinkingViolet: A male example. I prefer to be on my own, mostly. Justified because of everyone in my hometown hating me and trying to punch me whenever I try to say ''anything''.
* [[SignatureMove Signature Mon]]: It would be a Pikachu. After Pikachu, a Glaceon. Pity they exist only in video games and anime... but regardless, a Pikachu plushie is the closest I can get to a Signature Mon.
* SignatureMove: In real life? None. In video games where I'm the protagonist? [[UpToEleven Plenty]].
* SirSwearsALot: When I get really, ''really'' angry. My own ''forums'' cause me to swear a lot, because whenever I have to do something in the Admin Control Panel, I have to log in several hundred times before ''anything'' will actually ''happen''. It doubles as an OutOfCharacterMoment.
* ShockAndAwe: I like lightning as well. Mainly because Pikachu is an Electric-type Pokémon.
* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: Very, ''very'' rarely.
* SwordPlant: One of my many victory poses... if I would need one.
* TemptingFate: Apparently, this is the only thing I can do. Tempt fate. Always.
* TheGlomp: BerserkButton. A ''major'' one. 'Sides, it ''hurts''.
* TheHeartless: No tears, no sadness... I guess this makes me heartless?
* TheInsomniac: Sometimes. I actually went without sleep for eight days in a row, and ended up being so energetic that I had to get a head injury ''and'' punch thin air for two minutes to get tired. Don't know how that's possible, though.
* TheQuietOne: Yep, I am ''pretty'' quiet... but online, I think I talk too much.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: I usually go a bit overkill sometimes in video games. Or when I'm furious.
** One of my ''avatars'' is this where the protagonists from my second Cave Story mod, ''Shane's Cave Story'', fight an army of monsters. The male protagonist triggered his LimitBreak and caused his sword to fire light skywards, which resulted in lightning striking all foes.
* TheTeetotaler: Definitely. I never drink ''anything'' when I'm not at home. I'm allergic to alcohol.
* TooDumbToLive: Sometimes, I really ''am''. I blame it on all the people who lie to me, though. I actually thought that ''parties'' were where people got beat up ''and celebrate getting beaten up'' until sometime this year.
* {{Troper}}: [[CaptainObvious Obviously]]. Still in training, as the only page I have ever edited was this one, and the pages of those who got vandalized. In other words, I have never edited a work page.
* TranquilFury: Almost never, but when I'm very angry and tranquil simultaneously, then nothing good will come of it. Except feeling a little bit better for causing some pain.
* {{Troperiffic}}: Just look at all the tropes here. If that's not Troperiffic, I don't know what is.
* [[TVTropesRuinedYourLife TV Tropes Ruined My Life]]: Happily averted until sometime around August. Somehow.
** [[TVTropesWillEnhanceYourLife TV Tropes Enhanced My Life]]: Sadly, averted... until 22 January 2013, where I learnt that "Long Island Iced Tea" contains alcohol.
*** [[TVTropesRuinedYourLife Emuparadise Forums Ruined My Life]]: Guess there's an aversion of an aversion, in a way...
* TwistingTheWords: I do this sometimes...
* [[SuperMode Ultimate Inhuman Form]]: In The Battle, in the RPG I'm working on, and in my Cave Story mods. I can transform into Super Inhuman form there (from SI Form Level 1 to SI Form Level 5) and, thus far, Hyper and Raging Inhuman forms (these two being in The Battle only). If all three gets combined... then a lot of chaos is going to happen.

* UnusualEuphemism: "Fudge", and "shipwrecksauce" replace the F-word and the S-word, respectively.
* VerbalTic: While I have none, any character I have in [=RPGs=] and such may have one. Like a CatGirl named Kairi Clements.
*** Okay, maybe that's changing.
* VictoryIsBoring: Sometimes, I consider beating a video game to be this - if there's no post-game things.
* VictoryPose: Several of them, I guess. If I had a weapon. I can think up weird ones, though.
** Without a weapon, I have one somewhat similar to [[Anime/YuGiOhGX Jaden Yuki]].
* WalkingSpoiler: A literal version - I spoil everything. I don't know if there is a trope for someone who spoils everything, though, hence I chose WalkingSpoiler.
* WallOfText: Just look at this page. Well, most of it. I am a bit verbose, so sometimes if I say things out loud, it becomes a Wall of Speech. :P
* WeaponOfChoice: I prefer swords.
* WhatAnIdiot: How I feel like, sometimes.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be All Those Scary Things That Want To Kill Me Into Oblivion Until I'm Wiped Out Of Existence?]]: I have a fear of dogs, birds, handwear, headwear, poison, mirrors, insects, arachnids, fire, elevators/lifts, hospitals, doctors/nurses, firearms, explosives, water, needles, real blood, cameras, biohazard suits, rust, my Alter Ego (mainly because I can't control my anger, so I called it that), clowns, drowning, sheep, ''love'', telephones, X-rays and cars. Also, being around people and ''vacuum cleaners''. Oh, and also ''statues''. If you want to know about the reasons behind those fears, just send me a personal message if you are a {{Troper}} and I'll tell you.

* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: I get really destructive when I'm angry. And I do mean, '''''destructive'''''. If stationary were alive, then I'd be a ''major'' mass murderer.

[[folder:To do]]'''I'll post here what I have yet to do. Some of them have deadlines.'''

* [[gray:Wait patiently for @/KarjamP to finish Chapter 3 of the fan fic]] (yes, said fan fic is a team effort thing, if you want to call it that)
* [[teal:Continue making sprites similar to some of my previous avatars]]
* Destroy a random galaxy by summoning [[EldritchAbomination Pacen]], who is the size of a galaxy

I have my own forums, and I also have a blog.
* Forum: [[http://shane.freeforums.org/index.php?sid=658246a901208ed775e075112956884f Shane's Cave Story Forums]] (originally intended to be a place to discuss my mods, but somehow it ended up being one full of forum games. I call members of these forums "Esiësians" for some reason)
* A second forum: [[http://shanescavestory.createaforum.com/index.php Dragon Riders Planning Forums]] (a place to discuss my mods, with forum games since 10 April 2013 - and requires some knowledge of the Cave Story mods I worked on to register - if you'd like to register but can't answer the questions, just PM me and I ''may'' tell you the answers, if I trust you enough. As of May 2013, however, there's a board at the forum that reveals the verification questions. Just in case I'm lazy.)
* Another forum: [[http://sbanenthebattle.createaforum.net/ The Battle Forums]] (for [=RPGs=] and the Battle forum games - members are called Battalions, apparently)
* Blog: [[https://shanescavestory.wordpress.com/ Shane's Cave Story Blog]] (originally intended for my mods as well but it turns out my RPG gets most of the posts here)

If you wish to know other places I'm at, here.
* DeviantART: [[http://sbanen.deviantart.com/ SBaneN]] - yes, I go by [=SBaneN=] there as well, because "Shane" already existed there. Be warned though: my deviations are ''horrible''. Yet I try.
* Quotev: [[http://www.quotev.com/shanebaneneumann Shane]] - the name may be different, since it's changeable.

* BerserkButton: Several of them. To me, 9 December 2012 is Berserk Button Day, because several people pressed my Berserk Buttons. And be warned that this is a large list of them. I actually have 36 berserk buttons!
** Insult me? Congrats, you've triggered my Berserk Button.

** ... And sometimes I inadvertently trigger other people's Berserk Buttons. Never mind overkill, since I cause a chain reaction of berserk chaos. I believe it's because of... my horrible past.

* SarcasmMode: ''What'' SarcasmMode? I don't even have any sense of sarcasm - it's way over my head. I try to change that though.

* PhantasyStarZero - I even had Kai as an avatar at Quotev.

* Series/{{Monk}}

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The judge of Serena's first case in court.

[[folder:The Seretouan Alliance]]This is a spin-off interquel to ''Dragon Riders 0''. The story follows the new defense attorney as she takes on her first case. However, things take an unexpected turn as cold cases from the past, even from her childhood, are linked to the most recent murder...

* AmoralAttorney: Averted. Dan will always try to uncover the truth.

* ShoutOut: Several to AceAttorney.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: With the planned time span (1996 B.C. to 2200 A.D.), this is a possibility.

* BerserkButton: Several of them. To me, 9 December 2012 is Berserk Button Day, because several people pressed my Berserk Buttons. And be warned that this is a large list of them.

** Mention the "S" word that ends with "X" and contains the fifth letter in-between. [[note]]In other words, using the word "sex" is a BerserkButton. Yes, you read right.[[/note]]

** And it's even worse when you find out that being hugged and being patted on the head are ''also'' my Berserk Buttons. This is because I've almost been crushed by someone who hugged me, and when someone pats me on the head, it usually ends up with me getting punched in the face so hard that I fall to the ground. Even if I'm on a chair.

** And people who don't read what I write. If I write "if I remember correctly" and people don't ready it, then I get very angry, enough to even leave forums.

[[folder:Tropes that other members believe apply to me]]Here, the tropes that apply to me (according to other people) go. Please sort the list alphabetically, and add your troper name at the end. If you can (or want to), please add the date as well. Ascended tropes from this folder will appear in the top folder with a date of ascension instead. Sometimes I'm too lazy to "ascend" them though.

* AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: How else would you describe someone simultaneously working on six mods for VideoGame/CaveStory? -- @/{{videogmer314}}
*** I have to keep myself busy. Besides, there are some things that I can't do, which I have to ask the help of another person for. Also, counting two of my old mods, and one I forgot about, it's ''nine'' mods. How I can work on nine mods all at once I have no idea. -- @/SBaneN
* BrokenBird: Your past has obviously made you the stoic yet strong person you are nowadays. Don't worry, we're here for you. c: -@/{{Nerd Bird}}
*** Broken ''teenager'', to be technical... and thanks... -- [[@/SBaneN Shane]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: It's hard to tell what you're thinking sometimes. Tropers/MokonaZero
*** You call it {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, I call it "weird, crazy and random". Okay, I don't, other people in my hometown do.
* TheCynic: Just like below. -Tropers/MokonaZero
*** And that's a super trope, with "TheEeyore" being under it.
* DarkIsNotEvil: And I quote: "Wayne Jakobus Michael the Dark Master of Death and Destruction and Chaos and Oblivion" -Tropers/MokonaZero
*** Actually, that ''is'' evil, in [=RPGs=] that used to have him as a character. Where he killed fifty planets with just one attack.
* DysfunctionJunction: There are lots of people with problems. In fact, lots of them have had worst things that happened to them. Basically, it could be worse for you. There's always someone suffering more than you. -Tropers/MokonaZero
*** Not in my hometown. :/ -- @/SBaneN
* TheEeyore: Almost makes me even more cynical. -Tropers/MokonaZero
*** Sorry 'bout that. I guess that's one thing I also have to work on. -- @/SBaneN
* HairTriggerTemper: Calm down, man. -- @/{{Everzwijn}}
*** I try. And fail miserably. It's all because of my horrible past. -- @/SBaneN
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Assuming the temper part is true, I think you're this or a NiceGuy if it's not true. -Tropers/MokonaZero
*** The temper part is ''really'' true. Unfortunately. I can't even control my anger. Also, my heart's not gold - yes, I took that literally. -- @/SBaneN
* KindHeartedCatLover: Fairly nice guy, with a love for his cat. -Tropers/MokonaZero
*** [[LiteralMinded Teenager]]. And yeah, even if she gets me in trouble, I still care a lot more about my cat than myself. -- @/SBaneN
* LargeHam: You have your moments. -Tropers/MokonaZero
*** INDEED! ... [[LiteralMinded But I don't eat ham.]] AND IT DEPENDS ON MY MOOD! ... [[ElectiveMute ...]] Right?
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: I can't see why everyone would hate you. -Tropers/MokonaZero
*** Neither do I, unfortunately. But I know it's bad enough to try and ''kill'' me several times on my birthday. -- @/SBaneN
* MoodSwinger: Possibly? Your mood changed from very depressed to very happy. -Tropers/MokonaZero
*** It's a new year, isn't it? ''It's a brand new year and a brand new start~'' -- @/SBaneN
* NotSoStoic: Come on, even though you say that you're a little on the cynical side, I could tell that you're a really nice guy. I'd be stoked if my male acquaintances were as nice as you. - @/{{Unprettier}}
*** ... Oddly enough, nothing random comes to mind.
* OppositesAttract: You're the sad guy, I'm the cheerful one. Tropers/MokonaZero
*** Although it's negated on extremely rare occasions, like when I'm cheerful for some reason. -- @/SBaneN
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Any times you use happy emoticons. -Tropers/MokonaZero
*** Indeed! After all, OOCIsSeriousBusiness! :D
*** Also when I ''do'' "hug" the above avatar in some forum games.
* RedOniBlueOni: Red to my blue. -Tropers/MokonaZero
*** How fitting, in terms of the order the colours come in - red is my second favourite colour, blue is my third favourite.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: I can't see why anyone would think you're a girl, but first some reason you always mention your gender...a lot. -Tropers/MokonaZero
*** Just to prevent people from triggering my BerserkButton, that's why. Better safe than sorry, after all.
* ThirdPersonPerson: You say "Shane has...." pretty often. -Tropers/MokonaZero
*** Yeah, just to see who would notice.
* TheWoobie: -- @/{{Boxen}}
*** I almost read that as The Rookie... -- [[@/SBaneN Shane]]...
* YouAreNotAlone: And how! Everyone has some problems, so try and not be so down. We're here for ya Bane. :D -Tropers/MokonaZero
*** I am alone in my home country, though. Trying not to be down is (apparently) as hard as playing CaveStory with only 1 HP.

[[folder:Dragon Riders 0]]This is the prequel to ''Shane's Cave Story 1'' (the mod).

* {{Conlang}}: The language ''Draconian'' appears in this work. Notable in that Shaun understands it instantly without knowing what it is, but Kimberley takes a while before she understands it.

* FriendlessBackground: Shaun has ''no'' friends at all, except for Emily.
* [[GasMaskMooks Gas Mask]] [[{{Meido}} Maids]]: In the prologue, Shaun gets kidnapped by them.

* KnockoutGas: The ''Slaapenzenkensempra'' spell, which can put people to sleep for ''[[AsleepForDays ten days]]''. However, both Shaun and Kimberley were only affected for five days.

* ShoutOut: Several. HarryPotter and KingdomHearts are just two of them.

!Vandalism and Comments
Go to [[TroperWall/SBaneN the Troper Wall of Shane]].

* AnIcePerson: I like ice. This is mainly because I don't like fire (I have pyrophobia).

* BrownEyes / GreenEyes / IcyBlueEyes / [[RedEyesTakeWarning Red Eyes]]: In real life, I have brown eyes. In the games in which I'm a protagonist of (or a character), my eye colour is brown as well, until I transform into Super Inhuman form (mostly in ''Shane's Cave Story'' and ''The Battle'' RPGs that I have made at some forums I joined), in which case it's green. If I transform into Hyper Inhuman form in ''The Battle'', my eyes are an icy blue colour. If I transform into Raging Inhuman form in ''The Battle'', my eyes turn red.
* [[JustForFun/ComeForTheXStayForTheY Come for the Wiki Page of Jenka's Nightmare, Stay for the Forum Games of the TV Tropes Fora]]

* {{Conlang}}: the words and pronunciation of the Draconian language are made up entirely by me, although translations are direct and grammar remains the same.

* CriticalResearchFailure: I have a habit of not doing the needed research. Example: adding TVTropes to a fanfic, but said part of the fanfic is before TVTropes even existed.

** Between 11 May and 14 May, I actually ''continued'' modding CaveStory, ''despite'' the fact that my wireless keyboard's batteries were dead. I must be pretty determined to work on the mod! Sadly, though, I wasn't ''that'' determined to make posts and such, but at least... I HAVE RETURNED!

* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Because my life is just plain... unfair.

** One of my avatars is this where the protagonists from my second Cave Story mod, ''Shane's Cave Story'', fight an army of monsters. The male protagonist triggered his LimitBreak and caused his sword to fire light skywards, which resulted in lightning striking all foes.

* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be All Those Scary Things That Want To Kill Me Into Oblivion Until I'm Wiped Out Of Existence?]]: I have a fear of dogs, birds, handwear, headwear, poison, mirrors, insects, arachnids, fire, elevators/lifts, hospitals, doctors/nurses, firearms, explosives, water, needles, real blood, cameras, biohazard suits, rust, my Alter Ego (mainly because I can't control my anger, so I called it that), clowns, drowning, sheep, ''love'', telephones, X-rays and cars. Also, being around people. If you want to know about the reasons behind those fears, just [[http://sbanenthebattle.createaforum.net/t54-the-fears-of-wayne-jakobus-michael-shane-bane-neumann#868 check this post at The Battle Forums]]. If you can't access those forums, just send me a personal message if you are a {{Troper}} and I'll tell you.
* YoungerThanTheyLook / OlderThanTheyLook: Apparently, some people thought that my mother was my sister. I still don't get how they got to that conclusion. And I don't know if this trope is correct, either, hence why I'm dual-troping it.

* DeviantART: [[http://sbanen.deviantart.com/ SBaneN]] - yes, I go by [=SBaneN=] there as well, because "Shane" already existed there. Current Deviations: 1.

* Ben10 (ignore count: ''30'' missed episodes of 3) - stopped watching this for good.

* Webcomic/ElGoonishShive - the first webcomic I ever read... as of 6 July 2013.

'''NOTE 3: Shane is attempting to start working on ''Hope of Shané: Frost version γ''.'''\\
[[spoiler:Sure, version β was released early, but...]]

I live in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gansbaai Gansbaai]], UsefulNotes/SouthAfrica, I have 29 fears (still in counting as well as very perplexing; who would have a fear of ''mirrors''?), and my favourite colours (always in this order) are green, red, blue, yellow, orange, ''pink'', black and white. I have a cat named Simba. I remember random dates, such as the day I got my first detention, the day that my first cat Raichu got killed by a car, et cetera. I also memorized 75[[superscript:6]] in June 2010, because I was bored in Maths class. According to most people in my hometown, I am "[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} weird, crazy and random]]" - which, in my opinion, is kind-of true.

These days, I'm a high-school dropout, because I refuse to get detention for something that only five other students did (the entire class got one). I also mod Cave Story, and I work on two fanfictions at the moment: Pokémon - Spark and Steel, and Pokémon - Dusk and Dawn. I'm also working on an Role-Playing Game. Sometimes I make random poems. I think said poems are horrible. In one fan fiction, I'm a protagonist. In the RPG, I'm a protagonist. In one of my Cave Story mods, I'm a protagonist. In all three, I have abilities.

* DoomedHometown: The town in ''Frost'' gets destroyed by a witch. [[spoiler:''In the intro cutscene before the title screen''.]]

* WakeUpCallBoss: The first boss was a piece of cake, right? Then comes the second boss... In the event that you don't have better weapons than the first weapon obtained, you're going to have to go back to town in order to obtain a weapon that's at least a little bit better.
