What, you expected a clear picture?
Hi everyone, welcome to my page. Feel free to update/fix/add stuff here as long as you don't vandalize.
I spend most of my time at uni or work, reading manga, watching anime, playing video games and/or working on my current game project, which will be titled
Turtles all the Way: A Shell Game by his indie game group "Those People You've Never Heard Of".
Runs a blog named "
I Am Only Myself
"
Burnpsy And His Life Provide Examples Of The Following Tropes:
- Afraid of Needles
- Asleep In Class: Happened twice.
- Bilingual Bonus: See the "Meaningful Name" entry below.
- Black and Nerdy
- Broken Base: Everything about him gets reactions all across the spectrum.
- But Not Too Foreign/Token Minority: He holds at least 5 different ethnicities, most of which are minorities.
- Chick Magnet: Though always not the ones he wants. In fact, it's almost always the exact opposite ones. Your Mileage May Vary on whether or not he counts.
- Childhood Friend Romance: Subverted. It looked like this was being set up with April at one point, but constantly moving kind of prevents people from keeping a connection before instant messaging became mainstream.
- Child Prodigy → Brilliant, but Lazy/Class Clown → Brilliant, but Lazy: Having to repeat years of school because of your age does that to you. Note that he was once identified as being in the top 1% of his grade in the nation.
- Class Is In Room X01: Both inverted and played straight.
- Critical Backlash
- Crowning Moment of Funny: He's gotten teachers in the middle of their lectures to say stuff like "What do you mean 9000?" and "No, not because they are 'n00bs' and they're easy to 'pwn'."
- In addition, he and his friends got the youngest person in their group to continuously ask what porn is, asking more than once because he doesn't understand why it exists.
- His presentations in high school were all this.
- Dandere: But only in real life. Obviously, that wouldn't work too well online.
- Five-Man Band: In high school.
- The Hero: This was his indisputable position.
- Giving Someone the Pointer Finger
- Handshake Substitute: The final time he sees Hashim, they greet each other by doing a spontaneous Bro Fist-handshake combo on the spot.
- Sadly, he sucks at figuring out when someone is offering him a Bro Fist. This tends to get awkward.
- Heroic Self-Deprecation/Take That Me: Perpetually, though kept in his head.
- It's Pronounced Tro-PAY /Spell My Name with a Y
- Meaningful Name: Every single one of his Real Life names has a meaning or good reason to be there. Most notably, his surname is in two different languages, yet translates together into "Kings take the best care of me."
- Most Annoying Sound: One girl spammed the phrase "Anthony, I love you." every time she saw him until the end of high school.
- During first year in university, this was replaced with a different girl spamming "You go to my church!" in much the same fashion. After being confronted about it, she stopped several months later.
- And then someone started doing this on MSN, but it was a dude this time. It stopped after a while, though.
- Never Got To Say Goodbye: How high school ended. Subverted by the graduation ceremony a few months later.
- N-Word Privileges
- No Indoor Voice: Happens a lot.
- Obstructive Bureaucrat/Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Apparently, being about 4-5 years younger than your classmates is valid reason to he held back a year, without even telling the student or the parents. This happened multiple times.
- My grade 10 English teacher. Let's just say using racism on me gets you reported to the authorities and overruled.
- Oral Fixation Fixation
- Otaku: Anime/Manga/Gaming variant.
- Overly-Long Name: His name in Real Life is 6 names, 2 of which are hyphenated into one, in three languages, and is 43 characters long without counting the spaces.
- Pet Peeve Trope: anything regarding Discontinuity or Shipping.
- It should be noted, however, that the problem he has with shipping is with the attitudes shippers take and not the act itself.
- Police Are Useless: Averted, inverted and played straight.
- Pop Culture Isolation: By choice.
- Rags to Riches: In the process of happening.
- Rattling Off Legal: Done in a hilariously joking fashion for a school assignment. The teacher then said that it wasn't realistic.
- Saying Sound Effects Out Loud
- Scary Black Man: Subverted. He merely gives off that impression before you talk to him, apparently.
- Sophisticated as Hell
- Skewed Priorities
- Spoiler Hound
- Stylistic Suck: His theme song.
- Title Drop: This blog post.
- Tough Room
