Line #9 PlayingWith/WeHardlyKnewYe


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character is introduced, and is removed after a short period of time before any meaningful character development.
2	* '''Straight''': [[RedShirt Private Liam]] is introduced when he encounters [[TheHero Sergeant Steel]], and is promptly [[MoreDakka gunned]] [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill down]] two minutes later.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Pvt. Liam first appears while calling out to Sgt. Steel in a hallway. Right as he does that, an EliteMook drops from the ceiling and impales him gorily.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Pvt. Liam [[MauveShirt lasted for about an arc]] and gained little development before being killed.
5	* '''Justified''': The BigBad sees Liam as an eventual threat and wants him dead before that happens.
6	* '''Inverted''': Pvt. Liam [[KilledOffForReal kills]] a character who we've known for a long time.
7	* '''Subverted''':
8	** Liam introduces himself and is attacked by an EliteMook. He then turns around and shoots it to death, before resuming the conversation...
9	** Liam is killed by Steel shortly after introducing himself, but he's [[BackFromTheDead resurrected in the next arc]].
10	** Liam is killed by Steel shortly after introducing himself, but his real character development happens [[PosthumousCharacter after his death]].
11	* '''Double Subverted''':
12	** ...And then the EliteMook springs back up and kills him.
13	** He got killed as soon as he was revived.
14	** Except he only reappears as a mindless zombie and is killed immediately.
15	* '''Parodied''':
16	** Everyone who introduces themselves to Sgt. Steel [[WalkingDisasterArea dies horribly]] seconds later.
17	** Liam suffers a [[HollywoodHeartAttack fatal heart attack and dies]] the second he's introduced.
18	* '''Zig Zagged''': Liam came back from the dead as a ghost as accompanies Steel. Only some characters can see him, though, but otherwise, he is nothing more than a SatelliteCharacter or LivingProp without any character development.
19	* '''Averted''': Liam never died. Liam is an InvincibleHero and therefore can't die.
20	* '''Enforced''': The author wants to show how violent and unpredictable war or life in general is, and the random nature of death.
21	* '''Lampshaded''': At Liam's funeral, someone asks Sgt. Steel, "Wait, who was this guy again?"
22	* '''Invoked''': ???
23	* '''Exploited''': ???
24	* '''Defied''':
25	** NobodyCanDie.
26	** The writers have a law where they can only kill a character when they've been around for at least one season.
27	* '''Discussed''': ???
28	* '''Conversed''': ???
29	* '''Implied''': Liam appears and introduces himself, then enters a room that involves toxic gas. We don't see him ever again.
