The brave, energetic heroine. Complete with stuffed hippo.
Taco Ninja, a ( FEMALE, DAMMIT!) troper from ol' Blighty. A shy creature whom you may see scuttling around TV Tropes being a grammar nazi. Do not expose Taco Ninja to large amounts of sunlight, Christian rock or work. Do not feed her after midnight and if you value your life; proofread your edits so she doesn't have to correct all your silly little typos.
WELCOME TO HER PAGE! BAHAHAHAHA!
Examples that apply to this troper:
Stuff I like:
I'm working on a Romance/ Slice of Life / Dramedy comic. It's still in early development. I'm currently writing the script, tweaking the story to make it better and trying to tweak the character drawings so they look more like what they do in my mind. It's set in London (my home town so pretty much everywhere is real (it's in a place in Enfield called Arnos Grove) except for a few landmarks which I moved and the name of my old school which I changed to protect the innocent and the retarded), and it mainly centres around the lives of three teenagers at a public school. It mainly focuses on homosexual, male relationships, so if you don't like that then GTFO. Here are the tropes that apply to the characters and story:
Title Undecided
Characters:
Xander (Appearance: Tall, black shaggy hair, lean and a bit muscular, dark blue eyes. Is fond of wearing dark blue jeans, navy blue/black shirts and black hoodies)
A young man who was found severely beaten at the side of the motorway when he was 6, with no memory of what happened before then. He was raised in a boy's orphanage until he was 12. Violet's parents adopted him and the story takes off from there.
- Adult Child: His default personality seems to be this but he can be serious when the situation calls for it.
- Bi The Way / If Its You Its Okay: I'm not sure if it's one or the other at the moment, James seems to be the only male Xander is ever attracted to, and he takes objection to being called gay.
- Big Brother Complex: Towards James, at first.
- Break The Cutie: I've noticed that as the story progresses, James gets less angsty and broken and Xander gets more angsty and broken (he gets a bit better though loses his Adult Child and vaguely Cloud Cuckoo Lander -ish mannerisms).
- Determinator
- Deadly Doctor: Deadly slightly less in the sense of asskicking but more in the sense of being a doctor-in-training and not yet familiar with the 'be more gentle with people who have just been beaten up and have bruises and cuts all over their bodies' thing.
- Seme: In a typical Yaoi comic, he would be, but this isn't your typical Yaoi comic. I tried to make this like a proper two male relationship so there's none of that Rape Is Love or steely-hard Seme and girly, overly-emotional Uke tripe. He's more like Luffy than Yuki too. Although he likes to think he's the Seme but James has none of it.
- Loss Of Identity
- No Sense Of Personal Space: He's a big fan of glomping and getting a little too 'up close and personal' with people he really likes
- Obfuscating Stupidity
- Tall Dark And Handsome
- Tranquil Fury: Apparent in the scene where James is being attacked by a gang of bullies. Xander walks up to them, perfectly composed, taps the leader (Arthur) on the back, and punches him so hard he falls over. He then tells the rest of the bully mooks to piss off, still calm but evidently pissed off.
James (Appearance: Short, shoulder-length white-blonde hair, grey eyes, skinny and wiry frame. Usually seen wearing an oversized grey hoodie and blue jeans)
A quiet boy who is ostracised at school. He gets bullied a lot and wishes he could just... be invisible.
- Abusive Parents: His stepfather physically and emotionally abuses him. It eventually comes to a stop after he hurls the poor boy down the stairs and finally gets arrested.
- Break The Cutie: Happened before the series starts, he gets better... sort of.
- Bookworm: His favourite one is Watership Down.
- Dark And Troubled Past
- Heroic BSOD: Has many of these
- Heroic Albino: Not a true albino, but close to it.
- Jerkass Facade: It's like a defence mechanism for him.
- Kuudere
- Peek A Bangs: Platinum blonde hair that covers his eyes and half of his nose. Note that this is not Blinding Bangs, he can easily see out of it and we can see his eyes... it's like how in anime you can sometimes see their eyebrows through their hair. :P Makes no sense but it's hella convenient.
- Straight Gay: Apart from being short, blonde and cute. :3
- The Woobie: Poor... poor James. Let's see now... raped at age 10, mother dead at 11, detested by everyone in his class at 12, abused by his controlling stepfather though it all and barely more than a walking corpse by the age of 13. If that's not a woobie I don't know what is.
- Wise Beyond Their Years: He comes off more as a world-weary 30 year old than a teenage boy. He's possibly the smartest main character too.
Violet (Appearance: Medium-tall height, long silky wavy brown hair, blue eyes, tomboyish clothing)
The daughter of the people who adopted Xander. Despite being raised by a rich, upper-class family, she has a filthy mind and is a big tomboy. She's a romantic at heart.
Arthur (Appearance: dark red hair, piercing green eyes, about the same size and bodily appearance as Xander. Sports chav-wear (jeans, hoodies, sports clothes) because it's the only thing his family can afford).
Resident bully jackass turned good. Character development coming soon.
Alice (Appearance: Similar to Violet, only older, with different hair and glasses)
Violet's mother. A social worker who enjoys fostering children.
Li- Maggie (Appearance: Long, curly blonde hair, baby-blue eyes, small body, and big-looking breasts due to a push-up bra. Likes showing off with short strappy tops and tight jeans)
Chris (Appearance: Tall, skinny arms and legs with a fat belly, thinning dark brown hair, hazel eyes.)
Violet's father. A doctor.
The class (yaaaay! time to make up names on the spot!)
Maggie's mooks:
Hannah
Nugget
Clandestine
Pancake.
Arthur's mooks:
Gareth
Nathan
John
Grant
Alice, Jade and Taco (Violet's yaoi fangirl friends)
Tari (Appearance; tall, black, lean, handsome)
Sium ('cause hey, I needed a punching bag other than James) (Appearance; Short, flabby, dark-skinned, glasses, short wooly hair, floppy lips (not racist, I just knew a guy who looks like this, I didn't like him much)
Tropes that apply to the series as a whole:
Examples that apply to this Pokemon story that I'm working on at the mo':
Characters:
Captain Taco (she has a real name but she thought it was boring) (appearance: Looks a lot like Leaf ◊ only older and wearing a black tank top, longish black suede jacket, grey trousers, boots and a black trilby hat.)
An eccentric Pokemon trainer from a Pokemon ranch near Mt Silver. She leaves home at the age of 14 to beat the
Pokemon League, have an adventure, all that good stuff, with her Ponyta Dash and faithful runt Charmander, Carver.
- Badass Longcoat
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander
- Crazy Awesome: The first scene I thought up goes like this:
- Taco's good natured but completely out to lunch father left a Magikarp in Goldenrod's day care center. When Taco and her team arrive there her father calls to ask her to pick up his Magikarp. She finds out that he had left the Magikarp there for 5 years and only just remembered it. The Magikarp had evolved into a Gyarados years ago and recognises Taco. Cue the Gyarados chasing her through Goldenrod city, causing massive destruction while she runs for her life on her Ponyta. She leads it through the town gate, then attempts to wrangle the Gyarados like a horse. It works, just barely.
- Cheshire Cat Grin
- Cute Bruiser
- Determinator: Doesn't every Pokemon trainer have to be?
- Forgets To Eat
- Genki Girl
- Hilariously Abusive Childhood
- Jerk With A Heart Of Gold: She treats her Pokemon pretty damn harshly, but she does it because she wants them to be strong, and it's not like she's doing anything she wouldn't do to herself.
- Nice Hat: She wears a trilby hat, like mine.
- Raised By Wolves: Her parents pretty much left it to the Pokemon to raise her.
- Tomboy
Carver, Cpt Taco's partner Charmander.
Dash, Taco's faithful steed Rapidash
Sanchez, Taco's Murkrow. Technically it's not her Pokemon, they decided to team up for a while and he's free to leave whenever he wants.
- Determinator
- Dark And Troubled Past: His mother was captured by a young trainer so he was alone until Taco came along. I got the idea after thinking... what happens if a trainer captures a Pokemon who's also a parent? Would they try to escape from the trainer to get back to their children...? The kids would die if they didn't. D:
- Dark Is Not Evil
- Goddamn Bats: He is a goddamn bat. In battle he flies high up so no-one can land a hit on him and knows confuse ray and faint attack.
- Evil Laugh: "KAH KAH KAH KAH KAH!"
Toto, Taco's father's incredibly pissed off and neglected Gyarados
Kiba the Eevee/hastily evolved Jolteon (so her parents wouldn't know that it's their pet Eevee)
Duster the thief (and shiny...?) Grovyle. (I recently acquired a shiny Grovyle with cool, red leaves in Pokemon Emerald):
Suicune the legendary wolf
Abram Taco's Father, a Pokemon expert
Alice, Taco's Mother
- Parents As People: Alice dotes on her pet Eevee so much that she occasionally forgets to feed Taco or wash her clothes.
Ciela, Carver's Charizard mother
- I Have No Son: She abandoned Carver only because he was the runt of the litter, and she's a Darwinist jerkass.
