Line #311 Roleplay/HogwartsHocus


1	[[http://community.livejournal.com/hogwarts_hocus/ Here.]] An RPG set at [[Franchise/HarryPotter Hogwarts]]. More of the slice of life [[RecycledInSpace with magic]] variety, though there are a few story arcs.

76	----
77	!! This game provides examples of:
78
79	%%* ActionGirl: Brienne, Aayla Secura, Arya Stark, Liandra.
80	%%* AffablyEvil: Baron Harkonnen, the Master.
81	* AIIsACrapShoot: Victor Mancha, whom Ultron built to be an ultimate villain, and who rejects this role and stays on the side of good instead (not counting alternate timeline hijinks). Just par for the course for Ultron...
82	* ALittleSomethingWeCallRockAndRoll: It's not a trope that gets played with much these days, but having a character discover modern music can be entertaining.
83	%%* AllAmazonsWantHercules: Brienne, much to the chagrin of her player.
84	* AllGaysArePromiscuous: Subverted; quite a lot of gay/bisexual men are in a committed relationship
85	%%** But then Kuronue and Yukimura prove this trope right.
86	%%** As do the soon-to-be-married Valentine Wolfe and Vladimir Harkonnen.
87	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Considering Lezard's status as a big bad, it's kind of amusing the number of women he has dated.
88	%%* AmazonBrigade: One player considers her character roster to consist of this.
89	%%* AnachronismStew: The whole point, really.
90	* AppliedPhlebotinum: Here referred to as 'chocolate plots', for the first instance when hexed chocolate did things to people like GenderFlip, ForcedTransformation, etc.
91	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The Sue houses consist of one for sluts, one for bitches, and one for people that like sparkly things. (Qanonreip doesn't count in this instance as it's for applications that muns drop out on).
92	* AscendedFanboy: Victor Mancha, who was a huge superhero fan before realizing he had super powers of his own. (Also subverted by him, in that he was ''programmed'' to be a {{Fanboy}} so that [spoilers].)
93	%%* BadassAdorable: Arya Stark.
94	* BattleButler: Charles Foster Ofdensen. Skwisgaar frequently even refers to him as Dethklok's butler, despite him actually being their manager, legal counsel, and CFO.
95	%%* BeautifulAllAlong: Brienne subverts this in canon.
96	* BerserkButton: Sage is NOT EVIL!!!
97	** The word 'love' to Maia.
98	** Don't mention Minnesota around Sweden.
99	** Brienne gets this way about rape.
100	** There are also some examples among the players.
101	** Weasels and ferrets for Bucky.
102	** Slavery and mind control for Aayla.
103	** Kaga finally triggered his when he was attacked one too many times-he ended up possessed by a mononoke and tried to burn the school.
104	** Mess with Igor's pet projects and he may possibly snap.
105	** Using "the K word" around the Master.
106	** For Nny, applicants claiming cheddar is their favorite cheese.
107	* BestialityIsDepraved: Amaranth.
108	-->'''Primavera:'''Oh, you're the girl that fucks centaurs!
109	%%* BewareTheNiceOnes: Of all the people in this school that could pose a reasonable threat, who actually tried to destroy the entire school? Kaga.
110	%%* BigBad: Currently Apos, various ones include Beyond, Voldemort, Karasu and Lezard.
111	%%** The Sorting Hat is viewed by many as one.
112	* BlackComedyRape: Arguing semantics here, but Lezard certainly did not know that one time when he thought he was sleeping with Amaranth, he was actually sleeping with a disguised Turlough.
113	%%* BoisterousBruiser: Titus Pullo.
114	%%* BrainyBrunette: Hermione
115	* BreakTheCutie: George St. Bartleigh had a small HeroicBSOD about becoming a sparklepire by accident, [[SubvertedTropethen bounced back to his cheery if idiotic self]].
116	%%** A came broken and got worse before he got better.
117	%%** Mikami is beginning to go down this path.
118	%%** Arya Stark underwent this during her time at Hogwarts with the appearances and disappearances of dead family and friends.
119	%%** There was a whole arc about breaking Mel Beeby, when Brice went evil.
120	%%* BreakingTheFourthWall: Very difficult to do in character, but happens often enough in the narration. Particularly with one player
121	* BreathWeapon: Ancalagon and Smaug are the most obvious examples, being fire-breathing dragons. Níðhögg breathes a variety of extremely corrosive/flammable acid.
122	* ButNotTooForeign: Ofdensen is half-American, three-eighths German, and one eighth Danish. Which is just enough Danish to piss off Skwisgaar, and probably enough German to be accused of being a Nazi.
123	* BullyingADragon: Toki Wartooth is a perfect example, given his tendency to go homicidal and murder people with his bare hands (and head!) after they push him too far.
124	* ButtMonkey: Dwight, Turlough, Lezard
125	* ByTheEyesOfTheBlind: Only people with some spiritual sensitivity can see Amaterasu's crimson markings.
126	* CanonDisContinuity: For the purposes of the RPG, ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'' never happened. Done because the RPG was created in between Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows's release.
127	* CapeWings: Alucard Tepes.
128	* TheCasanova: Yukimura, Dieter, James Bond. Kuronue likes to think he's one. And Jack Harkness has re-joined the fray.
129	* {{Catgirl}}: Turlough's been turned into one twice. Much to his ire particularly since there's a spot that's...sensitive.
130	* CatsAreMean: Bucky, occasionally The Cheshire Cat.
131	** But wholly averted with the various feline pets and Wishbone when he transfigures himself into a cat.
132	* CheerfulChild: Pippi and Coraline.
133	** Rose Casson has her moments, but she seems to subvert the trope as often as play it straight.
134	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Shoggies, Shoggies, Shoggies
135	** Elric, too. Come to think of it, they are played by the same mun as above. Anyone else sensing a pattern?
136	** And Jherek. Definite pattern!
137	** Amaterasu to some degree, who tends to act more like a friendly, goofy wolf than the goddess she is.
138	* ComedicSociopathy: All members of Dethklok embrace and exemplify this.
139	* CookingDuel: With Chairman Kaga as a student, this was nothing but inevitable.
140	* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: The Harmony Hut. (Specifically, being locked in there, bound to a chair 'Literature/AClockworkOrange' style, and forced to watch cutesy Saturday Morning cartoons.
141	* CooldownHug: Kuronue tries this on Kaga when the latter tries to destroy Hogwarts, but it fails.
142	* CouldntFindAPen: When Ofdensen returned to Hogwarts after being savagely beaten by the Metal Masked Assassin, he wrote ‘assassin’ in his own blood on the floor of the popcorn room.
143	%%* CreepyTwins: Sage and Rat
144	%%* {{Crossover}}: See Crack Pairing.
145	* CueTheSun: Amaterasu can and has done this at will. She ''is'' the sun god after all.
146	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Many of the characters, all from their previous canons
147	** China Sorrows for her stint with being on Malevolent's side, during the war. She soon turned sides, joined good, and later became "neutral".
148	* DeadpanSnarker: Many. They're popular characters.
149	* DeathGlare: Happens fairly often and from many characters, but poor Sweden has it on permanently (which isn't how he acts at all)
150	* DefeatEqualsFriendship: The two Georges.
151	* DefiledForever: Kaga and A both subvert this trope, as they both know life can go on afterwards. Though they both still had intimacy issues.
152	* DepravedHomosexual: Harkonnen.
153	* DespairEventHorizon: Kaga, after being attacked by [[Anime/{{Mnemosyne}} Apos]] (just the latest in attacks and near attacks he's suffered). He was influenced by a mononoke and tried to burn the school down.
154	* {{Dhampyr}}: Alucard Tepes.
155	* DisproportionateRetribution: Suggest that Chairman Kaga works at Benihana's and trees get destroyed. And the only reason you aren't is Kaga doesn't want detention.
156	* DissonantSerenity: When Kaga snapped and tried to burn the school down, he was pretty calm about it until Kusuriyuri attacked him.
157	* DistaffCounterpart: Turlough considers Amy to be his.
158	* DistressedDamsel: Parodied. If Beowulf is to be believed, Mikami is this.
159	** Played straight when the Sorting Hat's wife was kidnapped.
160	* TheDitz: Toki Wartooth, Beowulf, Sage. Amaranth has her moments.
161	* DragonRider: Elric is this in his canon, and is set to be one in HH whenever Smaug deigns to bear a rider.
162	* DumbBlonde: Amaranth subverts this, as she's rather smart.
163	* DyingDream: Ofdensen believed Hogwarts was this, until he found himself back in his own world, thanks to something weird involving the Shoggies
164	* ElaborateUniversityHigh: Where else would you find a bar in a common room? There also seem to be no penalties for not attending classes.
165	* EveryoneIsBi: Until proven otherwise. :P
166	* CuteKitten: Mikami, A, Kusuriyuri, Kurama, River and Lola all have cats. Related: Brice got a puppy solely because of the cuteness.
167	** Oly subverted this trope when she asked Lezard to grow her a sentient, free-floating eye in a jar. So not cute.
168	** Further subverted by Jasper, who has a pet dinosaur.
169	** And again with Coraline, who has a pet Acromantula. Which may be a double subversion or something, since Berry's quite cute for a baby giant spider.
170	** Played straight with Wishbone. While the first time was an accident, sometimes he turns himself into a cat because it's easier to get affected by catnip and because things feel softer.
171	** Subverted with Bucky Katt. Oh god, subverted.
172	* FacialMarkings: Amaterasu, Kusuriyuri.
173	* FairyCompanion: Issun, to Amaterasu.
174	* FakeMemories: Taken to the extreme when a 'sixteen-year-old' Victor Mancha found out he's actually a cyborg built just a few years ago, and that his entire life up till then was one big fabricated memory.
175	* FallenAngel: Brice. But he climbed back up again.
176	** Liandra.
177	* FeminineWomenCanCook: Considering that the most accomplished cooks at H_H are men, this trope is subverted.
178	%%* FertileFeet: Amaterasu.
179	%%* FlameWar: Ryuk is fond of those.
180	%%* ForgotICouldFly: Ryuk forgot he couldn't when he was a human.
181	%%* FreakyFriday: Often happens at least once per chocolate plot
182	%%* FreeLoveFuture: Jherek Carnelian is from one of these.
183	%%* FriendToAllLivingThings: Amaterasu, for obvious reasons.
184	* FunnyAnimal: Wishbone, a talking, reading dog (that sometimes turns into a cat)
185	%%* GenderBender: Frequently pops up in chocolate plots
186	* GeniusDitz: The members of Dethklok are completely incompetent at anything not related to music, partying, or contract negotiation (which, in canon, they can out-negotiate the devil on).
187	* GenkiGirl: Megan pretty much sums this one up. Mel Beeby was one when she first turned up.
188	%%* GentleGiant: Hagrid, Sweden
189	%%* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Amaterasu, Mr. Wednesday.
190	%%* GranolaGirl: Amaranth
191	* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Skwisgaar's Swedish, Toki's Norwegian. (Neither have their own trope, so it goes here.)
192	** Sweden's [=HogwartsNet=] handle is just 'Sweden' in Swedish.
193	* GratuitousGerman: Austria's [=HogwartsNet=] handle is just 'Austria' in German, the predominant language in Austria.
194	* GratuitousJapanese: Also justified, used by many Japanese people
195	* {{Hammerspace}}: Amaranth uses this often. Megan can sort of use this to get her Souldagger, though it's less "hammerspace" and more "a cold void where her soul used to be." (Semantics, really.)
196	%%* HandsomeLech: Lezard
197	* HatesBeingTouched: Happened to Kaga for about a year after Karasu raped him.
198	* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen (also HeWhoMustNotBeHeard): Kojiro, who only appears infrequently and usually only through letter.
199	* HeroicSacrifice: A sane Beyond sacrifices himself to unpop Matt.
200	%%* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Oly/Beowulf.
201	%%* HumanAliens: Turlough
202	* IdenticalStranger: Sometimes, muns will pick the same [=PBs=]. Sometimes the characters end up facing their mirror image and becoming very confused.
203	** Alan Grant and Sidney Reilly are trying to avoid Damien Thorn, their decidedly evil twin.
204	** Castiza was extremely confused when she met the Ninth Doctor.
205	* IfItsYouItsOkay: That sums up Nathan's feelings for Ofdensen nicely.
206	* IHateYouVampireDad: Alucard Tepes, who is—you guessed it—the ''biological'' son of Dracula. Needless to say, they have a very complicated relationship.
207	* ImAHumanitarian: The shoggies
208	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Amaterasu, what with her main physical weapons being a huge flaming mirror and holy beads.
209	* INeedAFreakingDrink: Many characters
210	* InvoluntaryShapeshifting: Another possible outcome of a chocolate plot.
211	* InTheBlood: Miranda, who inherited a tail and, apparently show-business abilities from her real family.
212	* InformedAbility: Usually done by the muns if there a canon ability that might come across as godmoddy if the other player isn't familiar with the canon.
213	** Ryuk and Mikami can know a person's name and lifespan (if the person isn't already dead) just by looking at them, thanks to having shinigami eyes.
214	** Austria and Sweden can tell a person's nationality just by looking at them (it's been likened to being like hair color for them, really obvious). It's currently unknown if Finland has the same ability.
215	** Amaranth has a similar ability, except of knowing a person's nationality, she knows a person's sexual kinks.
216	* InstrumentOfMurder: Skwisgaar is capable of literally killing people with his guitar in canon without damaging it at all; at Hogwarts, he unknowingly stopped Jasper from eating him by accidentally smacking the vampire with his guitar. (Virtually indestructible sparklepire vs. mysteriously waterproof, indestructible guitar? The guitar actually won.)
217	* IntellectualAnimal: Amaterasu. Really a deity, merely in the form of a white wolf.
218	* {{Jerkass}}: Lezard, Turlough, Alan Grant, Rat, Steff, Liandra, Bucky.
219	* KickTheDog: Both figuratively, any time A is targeted, and literally, when Wishbone is targeted.
220	** Valentine's torturing of house elves.
221	* KidWithTheLeash: Alucard and Joachim, in a weird way. Became literal when the now sadly popcorned Ryuuji and Terry gave Alucard some kinky collar and leash gear to use on Joachim, who never quite understood their humour.
222	* KingOfAllCosmos: Amaterasu. Once upon a time we did have the TropeNamer, too.
223	%%* KnightTemplar: Dwight thinks he is this.
224	%%* KnowNothingKnowItAll: So very much Bucky.
225	%%* LargeHam: Beowulf
226	* LastNameBasis: Turlough, Ofdensen, Chairman Kaga, Hagrid
227	* LighterAndSofter: One player described the Harmony Hut as a fluffier version of the [[Literature/AClockworkOrange Clockwork Orange]] punishment.
228	* LikesOlderWomen: Beowulf with his loudly-proclaimed MILF preference, Skwisgaar with his MILF and especially GMILF preference.
229	%%* LivingStatue: Amaterasu.
230	* [[OnlySaneEmployee Liz Lemon Job]]: Almost literally Charles Ofdensen's job description.
231	* LocalHangout: Several, namely the Ravenclaw and Slytherin bars, the Great Hall.
232	%%* LooksLikeCesare: Severus Snape
233	* LukeIAmYourFather: Mr. Wednesday is Skwisgaar's father. So far, only he knows this.
234	* MadeOfExplodium: Karasu. He can also force others into this trope (ex: Kaga)
235	* MamaBear: Oly has occasionally acted like this in canon.
236	* ManIFeelLikeAWoman: Common in chocolate plots. Especially if you're Kuronue.
237	%%* ManipulativeBastard: Lezard
238	%%* MarshmallowHell: Igor, talking to Amaranth
239	* MayflyDecemberRomance: Methos and Brienne are headed in that direction.
240	* MindScrew: Mikami is a frequent victim of this, namely from Karasu. Sage (literally), Rat.
241	* MistakenForGay: In an odd twist on this trope, Michael Scott mistakes ''himself'' for gay. ItMakesSenseInContext.
242	* MistakenIdentity: Often happens when a character from one canon resembles a character from another canon, due to having the same PB.
243	** Sweden was ''very'' cross when the Finland that came to Hogwarts was not "his" Finland. (Sweden was from ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'', Finland from ''Webcomic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld''.)
244	* MisterSeahorse: Kuronue worried about this after a short gender-bending episode with Akabane.
245	** Unwritten rule at the RPG is 'no baby plots'. Sorta-kinda-taking in another character, that's fine, but no baby/pregnancy plots.
246	* MoodSwinger: Kurama runs the gamut from {{Jerkass}} to [[WideEyedIdealist wide-eyed nature enthusiast]] to {{Snark Knight}} to [[TheWoobie insecure woobie]].
247	* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: No one commented on this that this player remembers, but the people Karasu targeted were all close to Kurama (or one degree removed in Kaga's case) ...except Mikami, who just picked the wrong person to squib/lecture.
248	* MyGirlIsASlut: Amaranth
249	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Kaga, after he realized he nearly destroyed the school and attacked his friends while influenced by a mononoke.
250	* NearRapeExperience: Beyond tried to rape Matt, but L intervened.
251	* NeatFreak: Austria. He swallows rather than spits cause he wishes to avoid a mess.
252	* TheNicknamer: Issun rarely calls anyone by their proper name.
253	* NightmareFetishist: Miranda Barker could be considered one of these considering her fascination with the warped, diseased, or dead human form.
254	* OlderThanTheyLook: All the countries, who despite being hundreds of years old (Austria is confirmed to be 1033) look no older than thirty.
255	** All the Tolkien Elves (Elrond, Glorfindel, Legolas).
256	** All the sparklepires (Jasper, Edward, Alice) except George, who only recently became a sparklepire (and remember, he came from UsefulNotes/WorldWarI).
257	** The Castlevania crew too: Joachim (vampire) and Alucard (dhampyr).
258	** Liandra.
259	** Most demons (Kusuriyuri, Kurama, Karasu, Kuronue.)
260	** Vishous
261	** China Sorrows: been around for near a century, or so, but only looks mid-late twenties.
262	** Rory is a borderline case-he has the memories of his Auton duplicate, who guarded the Pandorica for almost two thousand years, yet he is still flesh and bone. (This makes him mentally about twice as old as the Doctor, who obviously also falls under this trope...)
263	** Susan Foreman not only falls under this trope herself as a Time Lady/Gallifreyan, but makes it much more apparent in the Doctor's case, as she continually refers to him as Grandfather.
264	* {{Omniglot}}: Many of the Wammy detectives. Mello in particular; he learned more archaic languages and just adapted to whatever country he happens to be in. Averted with Matt, who only knows three languages, and one of them is fictional.
265	** Ofdensen speaks German and English fluently, and has picked up some Swedish and Norwegian.
266	** Kaga knows English, French and Japanese, though he usually only speaks Japanese.
267	** In canon, Turlough could understand any language, thanks to the TARDIS. Whether this applies here is up for debate.
268	** Mr. Wednesday.
269	** Liandra, thanks to hanging around humanity for their entire existence.
270	** Aoi.
271	* OneSteveLimit: Played straight in that there cannot be multiple versions of the same character (ex: both the Kingdom Hearts and the Ansem Retort versions of Axel), but averted in that there can be multiple characters with the same name (there have been at least two different Deaths at the same time)
272	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Near, Mello, A. Only a few know their real names.
273	** L is known to most everyone as 'Ryuzaki'.
274	** Matt is a subversion, as Matthew is his middle name.
275	** China Sorrows and Mr. Bliss as they are their taken names in canon, by extension, their "nicknames".
276	** Sage and Rat
277	%%* OnlyOneName: Far too many to actually name them all.
278	* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Tolkien's Smaug subverted the Western Dragon trope by being intelligent, magical, and capable of speech, trendsetter that he is. Ancalagon is another example, though he'd sooner eat you than enjoy a good riddle-game with you.
279	* OurMonstersAreDifferent: With so many different fandoms in one place, they are bound to be.
280	** Angels. There are those that have been humans, and there are those that have been around since the beginning of time.
281	** Demons.
282	** Vampires. Some sparkle, some have bumpy faces.
283	** Shoggies... Just... shoggies.
284	** Dwarves. Oly was a genetically engineered freak.
285	* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Skwisgaar has been permanently afflicted with a condition that turns him into a merman every now and then, without the aid of hexed food or drink, making him something like a ''weremerman''.
286	* PapaWolf: What Charles Ofdensen is to Dethklok (sans Nathan), generally without them even being aware of it. Although Skwisgaar has admitted that he pretty much considers Ofdensen the father he never had, much to his manager's confusion. (Skwisgaar was also kind of high at the time, and may deny saying it if ever asked about it, but he meant it.)
287	* ThePawn: Megan, in Laura de Winter's scheme to get dirt on Brice.
288	** Various people to Apos
289	* PerkyGoth: Nemi. Sometimes. But she's definitely known for her Deadpan Snarkiness as well, so she is a mix between Perky Goth and TheSnarkKnight. Sage, half the time.
290	* PerspectiveFlip: Arguably, this happened every scene, due to two or more people playing two or more different characters in the same scene.
291	* PetTheDog: Lezard, regarding chinchillas.
292	* PhysicalGod: Lezard. Turlough is not impressed.
293	** Wednesday is also a god, though he is more subtle about it.
294	** Michael is, [[DownPlayedTrope if not exactly a god, then at least pretty damn close]]. He has plenty of power due to being an Archangel, but he doesn't like to brag.
295	** Ryuk is a god of death. He mostly uses that to gloat about how he can't be hurt by humans.
296	** Amaterasu is perhaps the most obvious example, being the primary Shinto deity.
297	** Skwisgaar now believes he is a god. In HH canon, he is the son of Wednesday, though he doesn't know that.
298	** Apos believes he's a god purely because he's a hermaphrodite, and in his canon (Anime/DaughtersOfMnemosyne) gives him the capabilities of both an Angel (male-exclusive) and Immortal (female-exclusive).
299	* ProfessionalButtKisser: Dwight
300	* PsychicPowers: Something like this tends to happen when turned into a sparklepire: Jasper has [[TheEmpath emphatic powers]], and George has {{psychometry}}.
301	** Vishous can see the future and hear thoughts.
302	** Sage and Rat are made of this. Well, this and goth steriotypes and martial arts.
303	* PutOnABus: Referred to as 'Popcorning' here, when a character gets dropped.
304	* RapeAsBackstory: Brienne
305	* RapeAsDrama: played straight many times, the notable ones being Beyond raping A (and makes an attempt on Matt) and Karasu raping Chairman Kaga
306	* RealMenWearPink: Sweden is actually more of a housewife then some of the women here. (He is quite fond of sewing)
307	** Zex thinks his prefect's hat (a pink bow) makes him look quite the stud.
308	* RealPersonFic: Technically against the rules to play someone who actually lived, '''unless''' it can be sufficiently proven that the canon's version of that person is different enough from the real life person. Example: Sanada Yukimura of ''Manga/SamuraiDeeperKyo'', a more supernatural version of the real Sanada Yukimura, and UsefulNotes/AndrewJackson of ''Webcomic/AnsemRetort'', a ''very'' exaggerated Memetic Badass disembodied head version of the real Andrew Jackson.
309	* RealityWarper: Amaterasu, courtesy of her being a deity and using her Celestial Brush.
310	* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Methos comes to mind as the most obvious example, but there are several others.
311	** Austria, who is confirmed in canon to be over a millenium old. Presumably, Sweden as well, though they don't have confirmed birth years yet.
312	** Elrond and Glorfindel, being over 6,000 years old (and Glorfindel possibly over 10,000) are prime candidates; Legolas has been presumed to be around a respectable 500-2,000 years old.
313	** Vincent Valentine to a smaller extent.
314	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Mikami still has their shinigami eyes. Ancalagon and Smaug both have glowing red eyes, and looking directly into them results in dragon-spell mind control. Fun!
315	** Kuronue, if he's really angry.
316	** Somewhat subverted with Vincent Valentine, who has red eyes when himself, yellow when one of his demons take over.
317	* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Ancalagon and Smaug. The Jurassic Park raptor, who's shared some downright adorable interaction with Jasper and Toki, may be an exception.
318	* ResetButton: As equally often as not, unpopping serves as this.
319	* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Victor Mancha, who looks and acts so much like a normal teenager that ''he himself didn't know he was a robot for years''.
320	%%* RousingSpeech: Damien's speech at the prefect debate.
321	* RunningGag: Dogs and Ofdensen do not mix well.
322	* ScaryLibrarian: Averted with Michael, who is more likely to force pastries down your mouth than yell at you for talking too loudly.
323	* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Turlough does this to Hagrid after their shotgun wedding, though at least that one's justified.
324	%%* {{Shinigami}}: Ryuk
325	* ShotgunWedding: The Sorting Hat officiated over one when he mistakenly believed the bride was pregnant, then he went crazy and married off half the school. Recently, he forced Turlough and Hagrid to marry, mainly to see if they try to kill each other. (They have since divorced due to conflicting feelings on Turlough's part over the Doctor)
326	* SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness: To go into detail would be too much trouble.
327	** But to give some sort of example, one post can have a T-Rex and a cat planning a scheme involving monkeys, and the next can involve sexual assault.
328	* SmugSnake: Lezard
329	* SpitTake: Kaga, once when Yukimura revealed he was wearing a schoolgirl’s uniform
330	* TheStarscream: We have the originator of this trope himself, Starscream.
331	* TheStoic: Charles Ofdensen.
332	* StoicSpectacles: Austria (mostly), Sweden, Ofdensen
333	* [[StrawCharacter Strawman Political]]: Bucky
334	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Wishbone is fond of making these, namely when he’s caught in the act.
335	-->'''Wishbone:''' "NO, I WASN'T ABOUT TO STEAL THAT HAM!"
336	%%* TalkingAnimal: Wishbone, again.
337	%%%%** Bucky, much to everyone's consternation.
338	%%** Scar.
339	%%** The Cheshire Cat.
340	* TeacherStudentRomance: Easily half the staff body has slept with at least one of the students.
341	** Grant/Laura is a bit more of a straight example.
342	** Subverted with Kusuriyuri and Kurama, who are both staff members.
343	** Parodied (kinda) with Turlough/Hagrid, who were forced to marry each other. (Turlough used to stay with him because he isn't that bad a husband, and is more miffed about being forced into a marriage with an Earthling. They have since divorced over Turlough's conflicted feelings for the Doctor.)
344	** Ofdensen/Nathan, though they got together long before Ofdensen took a professorship
345	* TeenGenius: Every Teen Genius from Death Note has made at least one appearance. Even Amaranth would qualify, not that you'd notice.
346	** Victor Mancha.
347	* ThereAreNoTherapists: Anyone with any sort of psychological problem has to rely on friends for mental help. If he has any.
348	* ThemeNaming: A named his cats and his squirrel after scientists.
349	** Lezard's chinchillas. So far we have Juan and Exxon Valdez, and their cousin Juan Pollo.
350	** Nine of Sweden's straw goats are named for Swedish UsefulNotes/FormulaOne drivers. Then, because he ran out of those, the last ones were named for Finnish F1 drivers.
351	* TooDumbToLive: George St. Bartleigh
352	** Which has reached it's logical conclusion: George didn't even realize that he was being bitten by Jasper. As of now, he's turned into a sparklepire.
353	* TooKinkyToTorture: Apos. Kurama has found a way round this, though... forcing him to watch nonthreatening children's programming. For a very long time. See Cool and Unusual Punishment.
354	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Mello's is chocolate, L's is sugar, Ryuk's is apples.
355	* TranslationConvention: Canonically done by the magic of Hogwarts, done for the convenience of the players. Subverted a couple times, namely when two people speak a language a third doesn't, in the hopes that the third doesn't understand.
356	* TrueCompanions:
357	** The group of people that banded together to stop Karasu, and now Apos.
358	** Dethklok, in a really messed up way.
359	* TruthSerum: Potion. Close enough. The alphabet detectives have experimented some with it, and Ofdensen slipped Toki truth-potion laced vodka to find out the truth about his and Skwisgaar's relationship. The Master also ate some truth-inducing chocolates while in the compy lab, causing him to troll the whole school, completely blowing his attempts at being incognito.
360	* {{Tsundere}}: Turlough. And how!
361	* TheUnintelligible: Sweden. The mun has had to translate what he's said sometimes.
362	* UnresolvedSexualTension: All the freaking time.
363	* VampiresAreSexGods: Totally subverted with both Edward and George.
364	* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Kurama taunts Karasu about this - not so much 'forgot to' as 'didn't get the chance owing to being dead', but the trope still applies.
365	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Alucard Tepes (wolf/warg, bat, mist, etc.) and Joachim (wolf/warg and bat).
366	** Kurama (can take fox form at will).
367	* WaifFu: Rat, Arya, River
368	* WebcomicTime: While over a year passed for the members of Dethklok when they went through the Shoggies' portal, only moments passed at Hogwarts.
369	* WholesomeCrossdresser: Yukimura. Steff has her moments as well.
370	* WillTheyOrWontThey: Methos/Brienne (hard to say), Nathan/Ofdensen(they have),
371	** Mikami/Yukimura (that one aphrodisiac induced incident doesn't count)
372	** Harkonnen/Jasper (they won't)
373	** Lezard/Steff (unlikely).
374	* WildMassGuessing: One player will INSIST that Hogwarts and it's surrounding land is really a TARDIS.
375	* WorthyOpponent: Yukimura, Mello, and Kurama, in pretty much all combinations you can make of the three.
376	* YaoiFangirl: The incident where a pair of Japanese schoolgirls recorded Mello and Near getting it on in the Sorting Room.
377	* YoungerThanTheyLook: Turlough is only in his mid-twenties, but the players think he looks mid-thirties. The fact that he acts like a curmudgeon does not help.
378	** Victor Mancha, who's a cyborg implanted with false memories. He was built as a teenager, so he's approximately 15 years younger than he looks.
379	* YourMom: Rat bet that four times in the prefect betting pool. He ended up winning all four back.
