History Tropers / ROFLightning

20 years old. [[@/{{EPIC}} EPIC]]'s uncle. He'll [[strike:get back to]] '''revise''' this space when he's thought of more things to say.

----
!ThisTroper embodies examples of:

* AxCrazy: Self-induced, for a time. He even attempted to use ThePowerOfHate in his attempt to take a level in badass. This may be a coincidence, considering that he briefly referred to himself as ''[[{{Naruto}} Chidori]]'' Panda...
* BadassCreed: Has two of them:
-->''In Going My Own Way I will be a man by my own definition, search for wisdom and use my abilities for the welfare of myself and fellow men.\\
Furthermore, I will not screw over anyone who doesn't have it coming, nor will I tolerate those who do.\\
I, [name here], hereby take this Vow!''
And this one, in response to a previous LoveInterest who turned out to be a gold digger:
-->''Screw these bitches, I have money!''
* BadassInANiceSuit: The image he likes to project. His standard outfits consist of a polo shirt (usually black) and black corduroys, his all-black outfits being his favorite of the lot. His current LoveInterest does not approve, though, and so he has toned down the black to an extent.
* BelligerentSexualTension: The girl he likes is a type B Tsundere. Well, he ''wishes'' they were a couple, anyway...
** In general, he prefers girls who can keep him on a leash.
** Subverted by his current LoveInterest, who is more of a YamatoNadeshiko.
* BerserkButton: Among other things, it's a bad idea to 1) lie, betray or otherwise deceive him, or to 2) (so much as) badmouth his friends.
** Please do NOT mention his ex-LoveInterest / ex-friend's name around him. [[Tropers/{{EPIC}} His nephew]] has this button too (with the additional mention of said girl's [[HotMom mother]]), and will in fact take it even ''worse'' than he will.
*** Still retains this button even after he and the girl reconciled, but PlayedForLaughs instead of drama.
* BigBrotherMentor: Just ask his nephews. They're closer to him than to each other, much to his dismay. To a lesser extent, he also plays this role to his best friend's younger brother.
* BrokenBird: A rare male example. The details aren't pretty, mind.
** [[{{EPIC}} ANIKI~]] [[TheGlomp *oof*]]
* [[BunnyEarsLawyer Bunny-Ears Lawyer-in-Training]]: Claims to be [[RosarioToVampire already dead]] after having been run over years ago (almost, anyway), giving him the power of [[OffscreenTeleportation disappearing]] and [[StealthHiBye reappearing]] on people around him. Alternatively, he sometimes refers to himself as a demon in acknowledgment of one of the nicknames his high school buddies had for him (see below). Has headphones jacked into his head all the time. He's more than competent at things when he actually gives a damn, though. In particular, his skills as a writer and as a typist are highly coveted by his peers, and more recently, he's been asked to sing at people's events (birthdays, weddings, etc).
** As of June 2012, he's actually entered law school, which means he'll eventually become a ''literal'' BunnyEarsLawyer.
* [[{{ChekhovsSkill}} Chekhov's Skill]]: His friends happen to be mostly girls who, to put it mildly, 'don't' like his gaming habit much. And then they saw the [[RapidFireTyping way]] he typed...
** As he told them, ''"You know you spend too much time on a computer when you can type like me."''
** Actually, he believes that ''any'' seemingly trivial knowledge we possess has the potential to become a Chekhov's Skill in the right situation.
* ClusterFBomb: Or so his friends say. But to this troper it seems more like PrecisionFStrike.
* DeadpanSnarker: [[LamarckWasRight It carried over to his nephews (the elder blows it out of the water),]] but he does it to quite an extent.
* DefenseOfTheAncients: The only hardcore gamer [[FishOutOfWater in his class - and in his group]], much to his dismay.
* FailureKnight [[KnightInSourArmor In Sour Armor]]: So much...
* FanNickname
** FluffyTheTerrible: 'Panda', sometimes 'X Panda', where 'X' (usually) coincides with his current state of mind. By default it's 'Evil Panda' (or just 'Panda' if it's his female comrades), but he's also referred to himself as 'Sleepy Panda', 'Emo Panda', 'Fluffy Panda' (when he's in an especially screwy mood), and the most subtle so far, 'Chidori Panda' (see above)...
** RedBaron / NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast / DeathbringerTheAdorable: Has been called 'Lucifer' by his high school buddies (derived from his actual nickname) and 'Lucy' (ditto), as well as 'The Dominator' and 'The Most Dominant Force' by his college mates. While initially ambivalent about [[NoodleIncident the last one]], he has since come to embrace it, even referring to his far-too-capable-for-its-size laptop as 'The Most Dominant Laptop'.
* FriendToAllChildren: Ask his nephews, both of whom he's helped take care of since they were little, has come to regard as surrogate little brothers, and the latter of whom he refers to as his BABY. Hell, he even met his current LoveInterest while working part time in a daycare center. Rather appropriate too, since... Well, scroll down to RunningGag and you'll see.
* FreakOut / HeroicBSOD: Is horribly prone to these.
* [[HasTwoMommies Has Two Daddies]]: Not him, but he happens to be the godfather of his best friend's adoptive child. Said best friend's mother actually lampshaded it.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With his best friend, whom he met in his junior year at college, and who continues to be a positive influence in his life. It's gotten to the point where his best friend's family has grown to love him, and would probably adopt him if it came down to it.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: When it comes right down to it, he's ready and willing to say and decide on this.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
** JerkassFacade: Sometimes.
* MoralityPet: His nephews. He'd have lost (what's left of) his mind long ago, otherwise. More recently, his best friend's adopted infant daughter.
** MoralityChain: His current LoveInterest and her daughter, the latter of whom actually calls him 'daddy'. He really does want to become a better person for them, but as of now, is not so sure that being spurned would not cause a relapse.
* MostFanficWritersAreGirls: One of the exceptions. [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1854928/Rekka_Blazebrew Here's]] his ff.net account.
* TheNicknamer: ...yeah. Most notably, his nephew and his friends.
** His nickname for his ex-LoveInterest / ex-friend was [[KingdomHearts358DaysOver2 Xion]] (he saw himself as Roxas). [[spoiler:Unfortunately, that nickname turned out to be tragically appropriate. And unlike what does happen to Roxas in the game, this troper can't even get rid of the memories no matter how badly he wishes he could.]]
* LuminescentBlush: He's known for it among his comrades, especially since the girl he likes is one of them. Said girl even goes out of her way to force the blush every now and then.
* TheSmartGuy (sometimes also TheAce) of his [[FiveManBand group]].
** That's how they view him. He sees himself as more of a GeniusDitz.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: He actually has a playlist in his phone named [[LampshadeHanging 'Powerup music']], which he [[InvokedTrope listens to just before he's about to do something important]].
* {{Otaku}}
* {{Pandaing To The Audience}}: Two of his favorite heroes in [[DefenseOfTheAncients DotA]] are Pandaren Brewmaster and Storm Spirit, both giant pandas. Not to mention, he's often called 'Panda' by his comrades.
* PapaWolf: Also to his nephews, and to little children in general.
* RunningGag: Non-comedic version, pertaining to his love interests. Among others, this man has met a girl forced into becoming a nun and two single mothers (one of whom turned out to have been traumatized into becoming a LipstickLesbian, the second being his current LoveInterest). He's even lampshaded this trope, calling himself 'cursed' and 'a complete idiot' for the latter in particular, for not seeing TheReveal coming - and, more to the point, for still deciding that [[IfItsYouItsOkay he'd accept and love them regardless of their circumstances]].
* ShipperOnDeck: The ''mother'' of his former LoveInterest seems to be one, to his mingled pleasure and uncertainty. But then...
** ShipSinking: The girl hooked up with someone else. Doubly subverted when that girl became ShipperOnDeck for him and his current LoveInterest, though.
* TookALevelInBadass: As of late. He'd like to think so, anyway. He's had some progress, but is still in the process of invoking this trope.
** LoveRedeems: He wasn't exactly evil (although another handle of his is 'Evil Panda'), but it was love for a girl (one of his twin girls, actually) that got him out of his funk. The said girl [[LoveAtFirstPunch confiscating his pocket knife]] helped a bit, too. Has happened to him again - thanks to the woman he loves and her daughter, he has been making a conscious effort each day not to relapse to the decadent lifestyle that was once his.
*** [[LoveMakesYouEvil Love Made Him]] [[TheStoic Stoic]]: Started working out even harder than ever after being blown off by said girl.
* ShroudedInMyth / MemeticBadass: If his [[@/{{EPIC}} nephew]] is to be believed, has achieved this status among said nephew's friends, who supposedly refer to him as his legendary uncle.
* SingingVoiceDissonance: According to those who've heard him perform.
* {{Tsundere}}: His ''tsuntsun'' phases replace physical violence with verbal violence, but this still applies. On the flip side, he also goes into ''deredere'' mode a fair bit of the time.
** {{Kuudere}}: Mostly towards his current LoveInterest. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial No, he won't admit that]] [[SerenadeYourLover that song he just sung]] and [[ThroughHisStomach that slice of cheesecake he bought]] were for her, never mind that he's [[LuminescentBlush not]] [[TheNotSecret fooling]] anyone with his denial. Not that he expects to, anyway.
* TroubledButCute: While the 'cute' part is rather subjective (lots of the people he meets - both women and men - agree, often comparing him favorably to a panda bear), the 'troubled' half cannot be denied. It has, however, been receding in recent months, thanks mostly to his desire to become someone who his LoveInterest and her little girl deserve.
* {{Yandere}}: He sometimes gets a bit... possessive of his loved ones. Hey, at least he's honest about it, right?
** Actually, his Yandere tendencies have been fading as of late. Mostly invoked these days, even, as part of his aforementioned gym routine.

* [[BunnyEarsLawyer Bunny Ears Lawyer-in-Training]]: Claims to be [[RosarioToVampire already dead]] after having been run over years ago (almost, anyway), giving him the power of [[OffscreenTeleportation disappearing]] and [[StealthHiBye reappearing]] on people around him. Alternatively, he sometimes refers to himself as a demon in acknowledgment of one of the nicknames his high school buddies had for him (see below). Has headphones jacked into his head all the time. He's more than competent at things when he actually gives a damn, though. In particular, his skills as a writer and as a typist are highly coveted by his peers, and more recently, he's been asked to sing at people's events (birthdays, weddings, etc).

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With his best friend ''since fifth grade''. [[ThoseTwoGuys His twin girls]] are somewhat jealous, too. More recently, with a classmate he met in his junior year at college, and who continues to be a positive influence in his life.

** RedBaron / NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast / DeathbringerTheAdorable: Has been called 'Lucifer' by his high school buddies (derived from his actual nickname) and 'Lucy' (ditto), as well as 'The Dominator' by his college mates.

** EtTuBrute: And the worst part is that he doesn't know why.

* MoralityChain: His nephews. He'd have lost (what's left of) his mind long ago, otherwise.
** Even then, he's still been losing it lately...
** His current LoveInterest also functions this way for him, especially considering he may end up becoming parental substitute to her daughter one day.

* PapaWolf: Also to his nephews.

*** Happened again, this time involving his ex-LoveInterest.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Not that it was easy...

** His (former) LoveInterest also functions this way for him.

Tropes he embodies? Well...
