Line #24 Tropers/FearTheWolf


1	'''Troper:''' FearTheWolf
2
3	In real life, I'm called David, when someone's not using one of my [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname endless list of nicknames]], the foremost of which is probably Ragnarok.
4	I'm a British weirdo who blends attempts at art with stage technician work, building high power pneumatic cannons and tabletop gaming.
5
6	I was the original proposer of the {{Deadly Dodging}} Trope, and I've contributed in so many places I can't remember. Long time fan of {{Warhammer 40000}}, you'll probably often find me contributing to the subject - or cleaning up other people's misconceived contributions. (Space Marines are seven feet tall, ''maybe'' seven and a half for a really tall one . Not nine, not ten - SEVEN!)
7
8	I provide examples of:
9	* {{Million to One Chance}} - A few times.
10	** Often with dice, where I get very long streaks of very good luck far more often than I deserve.
11	** Also once in a game of Gin Rummy where I was dealt (from a well shuffled deck) a straight flush that missed only one card from the middle. Guess which card I pick up in my first round?
12	* {{Major Injury Underreaction}} - My reaction to someone telling me I had broken my arm (which wasn't even close to being straight!) was "Are you sure?". I also have a habit of supergluing any cuts shut so I can get back to more interesting things than bleeding.
13	* {{MacGyvering}} - Transonic cannons from bits of pipe found at the hardware store? No problem.
14	* {{Percussive Maintenance}} - All stage technicians are fully versed in this.
15	* {{Britain Versus The UK}} - Averted. Although I'm technically English, I define myself as British, as my ancestry is from all over the British Isles, with a Welsh great grandmother, and further back down a different line, the Isle of Man.
16	* {{Catchphrase}} Several
17	---> Insert some description of a good situation here, then add "so yay!" to the end.
18	---> "I'm just winging it. Fortunately, I'm very good at winging it."
19	---> "Because I can." (Response to "Why are you doing X?")
20	---> "Twenty percent? Yeah, twenty percent." (I say this a lot. Not sure why.)
21	* {{Crowning Moment of Awesome}} - because who hasn't got one? I tend to count moments from the tabletop games I play too.
22	** A particular favourite is one of my characters coming within a hair's breadth of destroying an armoured attack aircraft using only gravel.
23	* {{Weirdness Magnet}} - Most of it generated by me.
24	* {{Blessed with Suck}}/{{Cursed with Awesome}} - The jury's out on which this one falls under. Asperger Syndrome. Gives me a highly unique skill set, as well as a natural understanding of how things work, at the cost of some social difficulties, chronic insomnia (it's half four in the morning as I write this, and I have slept 2 hours in the last 44), and terrible time keeping.
25	** On that note, possibly {{Crazy Awesome}} as well - I attribute most of my greater achievements to my Asperger Syndrome.
26	* {{Word of Dante}} - I appear to have reached some sort of state of nirvana on the primary {{Inquisitor}} forums, where people seem to think I'm some sort of authority on the background and rules. I'm not sure quite why.
27	* {{Self Deprecation}} - Lots of this.
