Basic Trope: Characters who are associated with clocks tend to be strict order keepers.

  • Straight: Count Uhren, who lives in a mansion filled with all kinds of clocks and wears multiple watches, is harsh towards his servants, demanding that they keep the place perfectly tidy.
  • Exaggerated: Count Uhren wants to become a Reality Warper so he can bend the entire universe to his will.
  • Downplayed: Count Uhren is a little uptight, but still polite.
  • Justified: Count Uhren wanted to have more order in his life, and he felt that keeping clocks around him at all times helped him achieve that.
  • Inverted: Count Uhren is a lazy, disorganized slob.
  • Subverted: ???
  • Double Subverted: ???
  • Parodied: Count Uhren wears a ridiculous clock-themed outfit that makes it hard for anyone in-universe to take him seriously.
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Uhren is just an average guy who happens to really like clocks.
  • Enforced: ???
  • Lampshaded: "See all those clocks? Something tells me this guy isn't going to be the life of the party."
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: Bob needs to distract Count Uhren, so he changes the time on some of the clocks, knowing that Uhren will stop to fix them.
  • Defied: Count Uhren tries to relax and be kind to people because he doesn't want to be seen as stuffy or cold.
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
