As a semi-fictional character, this Troper provides examples of...
"I know my evil plans always fail, but at least they give me a jumping-off point for improv."
- Cowardly Lion: It helps that when he's mad enough to shout, lightning bursts uncontrollably from his mouth.
- Deadly Upgrade: Raijin Mode gradually sublimes his body into pure energy.
- Death Is Not Permanent: The result of a horrifying combination of lichdom and the SecretArt of Memoria.
- DoubleConsciousness: Suijin, Fuujin, and Raijin, the Evil, Neutral, and Good aspects of his personality, respectively.
- Dragon Rider: Prior to the battle with Chaos.
- Götterdämmerung: Chaos is the ultimate source of all supernatural power. When it was sealed, magic was lost altogether for a time and gradually restored itself as the seal weakened.
- Heavy Sleeper: Has slept through tornadoes, minor earthquakes, and five millenia.
- High Collar of Doom: Suijin. Ironically, Raijin's is even bigger.
- Horned Hairdo: Most obviously Suijin's devilish horns, but Raijin's hair resembles the head of a blue dragon, horns included.
- An Ice Person: Suijin at his worst.
- Insufferable Genius: Made even more insufferable by constant claims that he's just average but SurroundedByIdiots.
- Jade-Colored Glasses: Suijin especially. Raijin is notably a KnightinSourArmor in addition.
- Kaleidoscope Eyes: Fuujin has ordinary red eyes, while Suijin and Raijin have gold.
- Living Relic: Was put in suspended animation as a side effect of sealing Chaos and slept until the ambient mana level was high enough to sustain him.
- Made of Plasticine: Frequently killed for comedic effect.
- Marked Change: Raijin Mode is easily distinguishable from the other two due to the glowing lines of plasma burning through his body.
- Megaton Punch: DRAGON PUUUNCH!
- Mode Lock: Depression and spite tend to lock him into Suijin Mode for long periods of time. Raijin Mode only rarely makes an appearance.
- Mummy: A cosmetic effect of Memoria-lichdom.
- Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: Any time he writes original fiction.
- No Social Skills: An unfortunate side effect of his childhood.
- Not a Morning Person: Cranky if awakened before late afternoon.
- The Order: A member of the Omnipresent Octave, who sealed away Chaos with the Eight Pure Arts.
- Psycho Electro: Lies somewhere between played straight and subverted. While technically the Good side, Raijin is rather hateful.
- The Red Mage: Despite his seemingly vast number of powers, most are actually buffs.
- Ride The Lightning: Raijin's preferred method of travel.
- Split Personality Makeover: Suijin looks like a nerd, Fuujin like a hipster, and Raijin like Dracula.
- Subbing For Santa
- Superpowered Evil Side: Subverted. Suijin is the most powerful but is also in control most of the time. Other than being Good, Raijin plays the trope straight due to his independence of Memoria.
- Teleport Spam: Suijin's favored tactic.
- Yellow Lightning, Blue Lightning: When Raijin's hair is one color, his lightning will be the other.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Taken literally by Suijin and sometimes Raijin, depending on the depiction.
- You're Not My Father, Optimus Prime
is! Sadly, an actual event.
