Line #25 PlayingWith/NotAfraidOfHell


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character is not afraid of any infernal realm.
2
3	* '''Straight''': After a lifetime of [[ConArtist scams]], [[ProfessionalKiller shooting people]] and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking stealing parking spaces]], Victor is sent to Hell. Undaunted, he starts a for-hire torture business.
4	* '''Exaggerated''': Victor is so evil [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth the Devil doesn't like]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards being in his presence]] and he still finds Hell agreeable, at times even pleasant.
5	* '''Downplayed''': Despite knowing there's an afterlife, Victor is [[FlatEarthAtheist still indifferent]] to where he ends up after death.
6	* '''Justified''': Victor has [[EmptyShell no inner life to speak of]], meaning one afterlife to him is as good as the other.
7	* '''Inverted''':
8	** Victor [[DirtyCoward is terrified of Hell]], and will do anything to get out of going there when the time comes.
9	** Victor doesn't want to go to heaven for whatever reason, and commits as many vile deeds as he can to avoid it.
10	* '''Subverted''': Seeing Hell [[EldritchLocation in all its terrifying majesty]] is enough to make Victor regret his life of sin.
11	* '''Double Subverted''': As the lower levels of hell (for which he doesn't qualify) are so much more to his liking.
12	* '''Parodied''': Victor's punishment in Hell [[IronicHell is to relive his worst sins over and over]]. He turns to the Devil and says, [[{{Unishment}} "that's it?"]]
13	* '''Zig Zagged''': At first Victor is adamant about his fearlessness toward Hell, but a series of encounters with the divine [[HeelFaithTurn eventually change his beliefs]].
14	* '''Averted''':
15	** Victor doesn't believe in God, the Devil, or Hell, so asking him if he fears Hell is like asking him if he fears ice cream.
16	** Victor and/or his religion don't have a concept of Hell. (Maybe they have a concept of TheUnderworld, or CessationOfExistence, or {{Heaven}} for ''everyone'' regardless of how they lived or what religion they were.)
17	* '''Enforced''': Victor has [[RedemptionRejection thrown away every possible chance at repentance]] and [[BeyondRedemption doesn't merit any more]]. God's [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill total devotion to free will]] means all He can do is wish Victor the best of luck being damned.
18	* '''Lampshaded''': When demons appear to escort him to Hell, Victor [[FantasticallyIndifferent hardly bats an eye]].
19	* '''Invoked''': Listing out [[RageAgainstTheHeavens all the reasons he hates God]], Victor vows to [[NayTheist never share the same room with that guy]] if he can avoid it.
20	* '''Exploited''': Hoping to avoid punishment on Earth for his crimes, Victor [[MurderSuicide checks out by popping himself off after a killing spree]].
21	* '''Defied''': Victor [[DraggedOffToHell is dragged into Hell]] [[VillainousBreakdown kicking and screaming]].
22	* '''Discussed''': Victor gives [[LongList a number of reasons why]] he's cool with going to Hell, chief among them access to [[HotAsHell hot demon chicks]].
23	* '''Conversed''': "Hell is such a nasty word. I like to think of it as a rest home for colossal pricks--[[SelfDeprecation like me]]."
24	* '''Implied''': Victor laughs at [[AnAesop moralizing sermons]].
25	* '''Deconstructed''': Victor's life [[TraumaCongaLine sucks so much]] that Hell wouldn't be any appreciably different, hence his indifference: same shit, different plane of existence.
26	* '''Reconstructed''': Since Victor believes he's been damned to Hell no matter what he does, this belief allows him to do [[TheUnfettered pretty much whatever he wants]]. He's going to Hell anyway; might as well make it count.
