->'''[[TheHero Chrom]]''': We know, damn it! Gods... Where did [[OurZombiesAreDifferent they]] all come from?
->'''Henry''': Well, see, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint when a mommy zombie and a daddy zombie love each other very much]]... Nya ha ha!
--> -- A part of Henry's recruitment conversation, [[EverythingsDeaderWithZombies Chapter 13]] of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening''

Oh, hey! Who are you? You don't look like a [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Risen]], and I'm certain I'd be fingerpainting with your blood right now if you were a bad guy... Me? I'm '''Henry''', your happy-go-lucky Plegian Dark Mage, of course!

You know, from Plegia?

Home of The Mad King Gangrel?

The guy that likes war and whatnot?

You're killing me here, [[DissonantSerenity and not in the fun way, either]]! Anyway, what brings you here? "TV Tropes"? Oooh, [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife were you hit by a curse to wander TV Tropes for the rest of your life]]? I love that one! I wish I could say I came up with that curse myself, nya ha ha!

Well, since you're not a bad guy, I guess I could sit down and talk with you some more. Let's see... Well, when I was a boy, I'd get into all sorts of fun. Playing with ravens, skipping rocks across the lake, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick practising dark magic]]... You know, fun stuff! My parents didn't really care much for me, and it was kinda hard to make friends. I did become friends with a wolf growing up, though, [[RaisedByWolves and she practically took care of me more than my own mom]]!

In fact, I grew up being friends with all sorts of animals! Yup, those were fun days... Until my wolf friend wandered into my village one day. She just wanted to visit, but she got killed by some of the men living there. It was really sad, losing her like that. Oooh boy, I made them pay... And... [[ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject I got sent to a]] [[WizardingSchool wizarding school after that]]! I never really made friends there. It's kinda hard feeling any empathy for humans when they do all sorts of stupid stuff, you know? How am I supposed to know not to hex people to have fish eyes when they're complaining about falling asleep in class? [[NoodleIncident And then there was that time with replacing the teacher's blood with fire...]]

Whoops, [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny I'm getting distracted]]! Nya ha ha, sorry about that! Anyway, time went by and I ended up joining the Plegian army for war and stuff! I think it was about assassinating the figurehead of Ylisse and expanding for the sake of the Grimleal or something...? I don't remember, [[BloodKnight I was just in it for the blood]]! Then one night, a buncha guys named the Shepherds were camping out when they were attacked by a bunch of Risen! I figured I might as well join them, since they look like war follows them around all the time. [[WarIsGlorious What's the point of war if it's you're not around long enough to enjoy it?]] So I asked Chrom if I can join them and, funnily enough, they accepted! What a bunch of nice folks!

So yeah, here I am now, talking about my time fighting for the Shepherds and talking to a complete stranger. It's either this or flinging more curses at people, and my hex finger is tired, so I figured I'd spend my time talking with you! Aren't you glad? Heehee!

I'm quite envious that Robin, Lucina, and Chrom get to be in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros]]''. I didn't even get to be one of those disembodied spirit thingies in the fifth game!

What's that? Tropes? Oh yeah, I guess you did come here for those! Let me just poof some up for you! Let's see, [[RitualMagic now where's that blue robin corpse...?]]

----
!!Here we go! I whipped up a [[IncrediblyLamePun HEX]] of a lot of tropes, just for you! Get it??

* AffablyEvil: Well, not evil per se. Just twisted. People say I am pretty friendly, though!
* BarbarianHero: I can reclass myself to be a barbarian! I don't get to explode peoples' heads anymore, [[AxCrazy but then I can maim and decapitate them until the crows come home]]!
* BattleCouple: I'm able to pair up with any of the first generation women in Chrom's army. Except Anna, I guess. And Say'ri. And Tiki. And Flavia. [[spoiler:Oh, that includes those [[SocializationBonus Ein]][[DownloadableContent herjar]] folks, too!]]
* BirdsOfAFeather: Me. Tharja. End of the story! I believe she even said that we'd fit together well '''because''' we're not normal people! Isn't she ''hilarious'', huh?
* BloodKnight: I love blood! Oooh, and war!
--> ''Heck, I always obey orders! Well, except for the stupid ones like "don't fight the enemy." If someone tried to tell me that, I'd cut'em in half and feed them to the crows!''
* BloodLust: Tee hee!
--> ''I don't care about politics. I just want to throw fireballs at the bad guys.''
* BlowYouAway: I can use wind magic. Woosh! It's even better when Chrom lets me blow an axe right towards someone's neck!
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: On the one hand, I left the Grimleal to fight alongside the Shepherds. On the other hand, I'd have no problems killing everyone in the Shepherds if a girl like [[EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette Tharja]] asked me to. Ooh, but if I had a third hand, I'd say that I don't actually want to kill anyone in the Shepherds, since they're all so friendly! And on the potential fourth hand, ''[[DeclarationOfProtection should the Shepherds]] [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge be ever hurt]]''...
* BoardingSchoolOfHorrors: I was raised in WizardingSchool so my parents wouldn't have to take care of me. Maybe that's why I love [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs blood and magic and blood magic]] so much!
* BodyHorror: What, you don't like the idea of me getting that sixth finger?
* CastingAShadow: Oh man, I love dark tomes! So many ways to split a foe's head open with these...
* CharacterDevelopment: Yup, it's a bit surprising, but I'm not '''ALL''' about the blood and the pain on others! I like helping out my friends when they need it, to start. Pity they get scared when I offer them a chopped Risen hand... I mean, a hand! Oops.
* CleverCrows: I love crows and ravens! Heck, they must love me too since they used to circle around me pretty much all the time! I once saw a man turn into a raven himself, so I'm hoping that with enough study, maybe I could too. I even [[VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes once]] found a tome what allows me to summon ravens to attack!
* ComedicSociopathy: Now that I think about it, I guess schadenfreude is my favourite kind of freude!
* CrazyJealousGuy: ... So I really shouldn't ask my girlfriend/wife if I should hex her so [[GreenEyedMonster she won't look at other guys instead of me]]? Really? Aw....
* CreepyAwesome: Sometimes when i'm on the battlefield i go all "Zap! Sizzle! DIE! AAAAAAH!" but then you know i'm very creepy too according to some people (The tropers on this website)
* CreepyCute: I'm pretty cute, i think? Those crows though. Those crows are much much much cuter than even me!
* CreepyGood: Don't worry, it's all with a smile!
* {{Curse}}: I also moonlight as a practitioner, you know!
* DarkIsEvil: Why do people have to go and call enjoying death a bad thing? Come on, it's funny!
* DeclarationOfProtection: I told Ricken that, if either he or any of our friends are hurt or killed... there. will. be. blood. Mmmm, blood. And LOTS of it, nyahaha!
* DoggedNiceGuy: I couldn't help it, Cordelia liked Chrom a L-O-T! So I thought I should be more manly if I wanted her to like me... And then she said "I love you JustTheWayYouAre!" I guess it kiiiinda worked, just not like I expected it! Aw.
* ElementalPowers: Magic tomes are so much fun.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: I was voted the third most popular ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' character on an official Nintendo poll, right behind [[TinTyrant Walhart]] and "Marth," y'know! More popular than even the main character and every other side character? I didn't do it, but ''someone'' cursed the fans to find me pretty memorable, nya ha ha!
* [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Henry Has Standards]]: One time, in the Outrealms, I was fighting this guy... [[VideoGame/FireEmblemNewMysteryOfTheEmblem Legion]], I think it was! [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude Who names their kid that?]] Anyway, he said he and I are two peas in a pod, but I don't just follow any orders like he does. Nope, I have standards too. Messing with the angle of a guy's spine, though, we can definitely agree on!
* EvilLaugh: I can't help it, you should see the way some of these bad guys just shower out blood before dropping on the ground!
* EyesAlwaysShut: Even during that one time when I confessed to Chrom's tactician, I never opened them! Not even once! It must be a curse or something, haha... Wait, what was her name again? Did that ever happen? Whoops, did I curse myself or something?
* FreakyFridayFlip: Sometimes, Sumia lets me swap bodies with her so I can fly on her pegasus! Can't afford being thrown off the saddle if the poor horsey gets scared of me! I'd end up all splattered on the ground, huhu.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: I love animals! Crows, dogs, wolves, wyverns. Heck, I can even talk to plants!
* GoodParents: When I told my child that I'd never be a deadbeat dad, I meant it! And I still do! Whoever tries to harm any of my kids [[PapaWolf will go BOOOOOM! Or SPLAT! Or maybe even SPLOOOOSH!]] Got it? Hee heeee!
* HeroicComedicSociopath: Ripping evil people apart to see how much blood they squirt is hilarious!
* JackOfAllStats: Let's see. I guess my skill and defense is pretty good, but I'm not really that fast, and I seem to have some bad luck. Still, I have some skills that give me a high critical hit rate, and I have an extra point in strength that would make me a pretty good MagicKnight!
* {{Keet}}: Creepiest keet you'll ever meet, hee hee! Oh, hey, that rhymed!
* LoveMakesYouEvil: I guess I'm already unhinged, but you should see the stuff I'd do for someone I love!
* MagicKnight: If I become a Dark Knight, that means I'll no longer be a RedMage... But I get a cool sword, though! Yeah, stabby stab stab!
* MercyKill: I know a curse that kills people the instant they're fatally wounded! Death is fun, but not pain.
* NiceGuy: Aw, cmon! Despite my fetish with death, I'm probably the friendliest Plegian you'll ever meet.
* NightmareFetishist:
** What was that one thing I said? Oh yeah!
--->''I want to die a horrible, bloody death that's completely painless. ...I don't like ouchies.''
** Oooh, and if I get married to a female Avatar...?
---> ''I'll love you with every ounce of my blood, till I die. Ooh... when do you think that'll be?''
* ObliviouslyEvil: What do you mean "killing birds so Lissa can sleep is a bad thing"?
* OppositesAttract: Well, some of my potential girlfriends are very unlike me. Sumia is clumsy, kind and [[InnocentFlowerGirl likes flowers]] as much as I like blood. Olivia is cute, shy, awkward, and prefers dancing to killing. But I can come to like any of them more than almost any hex!
* ParentalNeglect: Yeah, my parents didn't really care about me much, but I'm not gonna cry about it. Besides, my wolf friend was way better company than they were!
* PerkyGoth: Sully says I'm awfully sunny for a dark mage.
* PetTheDog: One time, that crazy girl Olivia thought I was going to kill an injured puppy. Why would I do that? I love dogs!
* PlayingWithFire: I can use fire magic. More like [[{{Pun}} schaden-fried]]! Nya ha ha!
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: Okay, I admit I've got a few little abandonment issues here and there. Being alone is '''not''' fun! So if I marry Panne, I make her promise she'll always stay by my side!
* [[PluckyGirl Plucky Dude]]: You can't say I give up easily, you know. I'll get my bloody and ouchies-free death someday and no one will stop me!
* ThePollyanna: With so much war to enjoy why would I ever be gloomy?
* PreMortemOneLiner: Next time, I'll say something like:
-->''"Have some death!"''\\
or ''"Special delivery!"''\\
or ''"I'm gonna kill you!"''\\
or maybe I could be like ''"[[EvilLaugh Hahahahaha!]]"''
* PunchClockHero: Like I said, I joined because I figured I'll last longer with the Shepherds than against them! No sense in letting a fun war pass ME up!
* PungeonMaster: I loves puns! [[HurricaneOfPuns That time Chrom recruited me is probably the best example]], but I still love making them when I level up.
* PureIsNotGood: Tharja says that my power derives from my purity. She's crazy!
* RaisedByWolves: I actually was raised by wolves, pretty much, which explain my strange.
* RedMage: Well yeah! I can use BlackMagic AND standard magic, y'know? What's the point in killing someone the same way every time?
* ShockAndAwe: I can use lightning magic. The best part is peoples' faces when they're zapped right before dying!
* SignatureLaugh: '''Nya ha ha!'''
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: And flower. And insect. Heck, if it's not dead, I can probably talk to it! Now if only I could talk to dead stuff too...
* StepfordSmiler: Olivia thinks that my happiness is just an act. When will she get it? I just love life and death!
* ThirteenIsUnlucky: I'm recruited in chapter 13, and my birthday is November 13th. Ironically, that's World Kindness Day!
* TokenEvilTeammate: Aww, evil? It's not like I'm frying wolf cubs or anything like that.
* TheUnsmile: [[BewareTheSillyOnes If you ever]] [[BerserkButton make me angry...]] But why would that ever happen?
* WarIsGlorious: I love war! Without it, I'd never get the chance to use all these hexes.
* WhatMeasureIsAMook: Ricken's so weird. He thinks he'll hesitate if he's conscious that he's fighting people with friends and families rather than... what did he call them? "Faceless blobs with axes"... Personally, I don't see the problem at all!
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: It's the duality thing - like life and death - but blood red hair would suit me so much better!
* {{Woolseyism}}: Small trivia, I was originally ''just'' an orphaned kid who had never experienced happiness in my life, before the localization. Maybe the guys responsible thought this was too sad and thus made me into this sadistic lover for war?... [[TheWoobie I really don't know if I]] ''[[TheWoobie am]]'' [[TheWoobie happy or sad about it, but you're welcome to assume I'm trying to hide it.]]
