Tropers: Justice Reaper
I'm a 28-year-old male, born and grown and still living in Jamaica, in the West Indies. I frequented the TV Tropes website for several months upon first learning about it, but only joined up as a user on October 18, 2010.

I currently work as a freelance reporter at the Western Bureau of a popular newspaper in my home parish of St. James.

I like reading, watching anime and some movies, going to church, talking on the phone with friends, eating, and sleeping.

I've contributed much to the Useful Notes: Jamaica page, though I didn't originally create the page myself.

A recent Crowning Moment of Heartwarming caused by Justice Reaper: a certain Troper finding a page on Fred The Red Rubber Ball after a long absence.

    Tropes that apply DIRECTLY to me 

    Tropes that apply INDIRECTLY to me 
  • The Ace: My older brother. A whiz with computers, well known by just about everyone in our circle of friends and the wider community, a video-gaming genius...
  • Amicably Divorced: Subverted by my parents.
  • All Guys Want Cheerleaders: During high school, I had a major crush on a number of sexy and popular girls...and ended up looking like a fool in front of them, and being snubbed by the first one, in fact.
  • Aloof Big Brother: My brother.
  • Bad Boss: I've had two.
  • Bad Dreams: I have a couple of these from time to time, with some bordering on Nightmare Fuel or being Foreshadowing.
  • The Bible: I try to read it at least every day. I consider it not just a good book, but the genuine Word Of God.
  • Big Screwed-Up Family: On my father's side of the family, without a doubt. Just recently my cousin's wife/baby-mother called the police on him for reportedly threatening to shoot her, my other cousin (both of them from the same aunt and uncle) had a major Freak Out following her mother's death from cancer, my unmarried aunt is a Jerk Ass bordering on Evil Matriarch, my uncle (husband of the aunt who died) belongs to a questionable society, my step-grandfather is domineered over by the aforementioned Jerk Ass aunt, and my father (the Straight Man in all of this) is himself a Jerk Ass and a drinker despite having had colon cancer.
  • Blind Date: Met one of my ex-girlfriends on one of these.
  • Broken Pedestal: Both of my parents.
  • Bullying a Dragon: My father has tried to do this with me verbally and psychologically, as recently as last night (July 22, 2012). This is the same man who is a cancer survivor, who recently got his legs and back injured when a car hit him and he had to use a cane while he recovered; by contrast, I'm physically stronger than him and, if I were not adhering to the commandment to honor father and mother, I'd have flattened him a long time ago.
  • Calling the Old Man Out: I've had to do this with both parents.
  • Canine Companion: My father, my late aunt, and my grandparents have had these. We currently have a dog named Bowser.
  • Cool Big Sis: One of my church sisters, a longtime family friend, used to serve as this for me. I'm something of a Cool Big Bro to some of the other little kids there, as well.
  • Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: I had a moment with one of my exes when we were together—she and I had a slight tiff, and I went to bed. Moments later she showed up at my bedroom door, whispered "I'm sorry" and fell into my arms.
    • Achieved with my last girlfriend, after assuring her I accepted her, warts and all.
  • Mommy Had A Good Reason For Abandoning You: So she claims, but anyone who knows her and knows the full story of what happened knows better.
  • Dead Sparks: My parents, before their divorce. Of course, being a child at the time, I didn't notice.
  • Dysfunctional Family: My own family counts, as has been outlined elsewhere on this page.
  • Everybody Hates Mathematics: Oh, I know I do. In fact, it was among my worst subjects in high school.
  • Everything's Better With Motorcycles: For a while, I believed so.
  • Evil Matriarch: One of my paternal aunts seems to be shaping up to be this.
  • Feuding Families: My mother vs. my father's sisters. Even before the divorce.
  • Financial Abuse: Being perpetrated by my father, in the form of not caring about how I'm going to manage my taxes yet borrowing money from my monthly paycheck to finance business ventures that don't show any returns. (Maybe that's why the very thought of Hayate's parents acts as a Berserk Button for me.) That is going to change, consequences be damned.
  • Forbidden Fruit: For me, it's sex and porn. Especially more so because I'm The Atoner. (For the record, I do not subscribe to the currently-toted idea that sex was the original Forbidden Fruit.)
  • Forgiveness: I'm learning to practice this, as part of my ongoing Character Development.
  • God Is Good: I believe this.
  • Growing Up Sucks
  • I Know Kung-Fu: Made this claim during high school to intimidate bullies. They didn't fall for it.
  • Insult Backfire: Once tried to flip off a bully in high school—except I used the ring finger instead of the middle finger proper. Cue jeering from schoolmates.
  • It Runs in the Family: Impatience, self-centered-ness, and obsession over money (apparently) on my father's side of the family. Appreciation of family, on my mother's side.
    • Also on my dad's side, there's the issue of cancer...probably, because one of my aunts died from cancer and my father is a cancer survivor, but cancer is not what claimed my grandmother (it was old age coupled with health issues related to a bypass surgery). ...boy, all sorts of crap comes from my dad's side of the tree.
  • Jerk Ass: A common trait among the male members of my immediate family, with my father being the worst offender.
  • Jerk Jock: I put up with a LOT of these in high school.
  • Know-Nothing Know-It-All: My father tends to be this. A lot.
  • Meddling Parents: My father is The Agent, and inverts the role of The Banker and The Bodyguard. My mother plays the role of The Banker straight, and during my earlier years she may have had traces of The Black Hawk's traits.
  • Missing Mom: She's not dead, though. Just married now to the same guy who caused her marriage to be destroyed and who was the cause of her hiring a moving company to send a truck on a rainy night to move out everything from the house that could be moved while my dad was out of town, leaving me and my brother behind in the process.
  • Mixed Marriage: My mother is a Christian, but my father is largely non-religious. Considering how well that union went, I'm determined to avert this trope for when I get married.
  • Nakama: Had some during high school and university days. I still have them.
  • Never Live It Down: There are some moments in my high school years that I would rather forget ever happened, thank you very much.
  • Over-Enthusiastic Parents: My father is constantly encouraging me to "go out more," "be more outgoing," and tells me how he feels I should do my job.
  • Overprotective Dad: My father.
  • Overshadowed by Awesome: I've always felt so regarding my older brother.
  • Parental Abandonment: By my mother, physically. By my father, morally.
  • Parental Betrayal: For a long while, I considered my mother's abandonment of her family in order to be with another man as a major Moral Event Horizon. Though I've managed to forgive her recently and don't blame her as much anymore.
  • Parental Substitute: I consider one of the elders at my church as a second father.
  • Rage Against the Heavens
  • Supreme Chef: Both of my parents are this, and I've acquired tutelage directly from my father.
  • Taking The Kids: Simultaneously and cruelly played straight and subverted. My mother did leave while Dad was absent, but she didn't consider her kids' feelings about the matter.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: Suffered from this in high school, in that I relied on my so-called "friends" to help me become pop culture-savvy, but at the same time they treated me like the group's Butt Monkey.
  • “Well Done Son” Guy: My father has been this regarding my current job.
    Dad: I don't see you making it as a reporter.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Had to do this to my brother on August 2, 2011, when he requested our family's land title to borrow money on it. His borrowing of the money would impact heavily on me and my efforts to save cash for myself, and considering he's never contributed to the house budget on the home front...coupled with the fact that he moved into a house he and his wife inherited and were renovating (a project both Dad and Mom did not entirely approve of)...when he spoke of it to us via phone last night, I had to chew him a new one.
    • Updated November 7, 2011: One of my longtime friends from university days called me out last week for my Jerk Ass behavior toward my brother during those years, prompting me to try and mend fences.
    • December 19, 2011: This past Sabbath, a church sister who acts like a real sister to me (not the same as the Cool Big Sis above) harshly criticized me for not asserting myself more strongly or often, especially in regards to my dutiful attitude toward my father even when said obedience might clash with my religious convictions.
    • August 31, 2012: My last girlfriend's words to me after I mentioned that some persons have said I don't deal very well with stress (for context, on that particular day I'd gotten aggravated about my father's Jerk Ass tendencies and was complaining bitterly about it - not the first time - and my girlfriend was getting tired of it):
    Whoever said that to you was right! You're not open-minded, you don't allow for nothing outside of what's planned, you're stubborn and a bit conceited! You fuss, whine, complain, are arrogant, and you swear! Write this on paper and keep it ever before you and gird it about your neck: "Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools" (Ecclesiastes 7:9)!
  • Worthy Opponent: I see my brother as this where video games are concerned.
