Rytex* is a rather eccentric troper. He found TVTropes when searching for information on My Immortal and My Inner Life due to an interest in badfics at the time. From there, he went on to become a regular contributor on the site.

He writes Fan Fics. There are links to his pages above. Fanfiction.net, however, is old and mostly garbage (with the occasional good story). Feel free to ignore, or laugh at his earlier pathetic storytelling attempts.
He often speaks in third person, as evidenced, and enjoys listening to good music.
He is known for his vague references and currently has the death sentence on twelve systems.
This Troper shows examples of:
- Afraid of Needles: As in, full-on petrifying phobia of them.
- Angrish: Say something that really pisses him off and he won't be able to properly form a sentence.
- The Anti-Nihilist: Firmly believes there's no inherent meaning to existence. Chooses to enjoy shit while he can anyway.
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: A notable trait in his style of humor.
- Attention Deficit Creator Disorder: Known to come up with a ton of ideas, but doing his damnedest to finish them.
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Not severe, but he can wander off-topic.
- Awesomeness by Analysis: Not a physical guy at all, but excels at strategy and resource management.
- Badass Bookworm: Loves to read and write.
- Belief Makes You Stupid: Was once an unapologetic Christian, but went out of his way to be an aversion, being an educated young man who programs, expresses disdain for those who play it straight, and geeks out about science. Now agnostic, at the very least.
- Buffy Speak: A severe case of it, but one he's trying to overcome.
- Cast Calculus:
- Fighter, Mage, Thief: Usually the Mage or Thief of the group.
- Four-Temperament Ensemble: Melancholic/Phlegmatic, I-(S/N)-T-J, Wind Elemental.
- Five-Man Band: Among his friends, he typically plays either The Hero, The Lancer, or The Smart Guy.
- Catchphrase: Ends blogs or chapter uploads with "Rytex out. Have a good day!"
- Character Alignment: Switches between Chaotic and Lawful, and between Good and Neutral a lot. Most often Neutral Good or Chaotic Good, as while he's a good guy, he can be incredibly dickish at times.
- Claustrophobia: Not a fan of small spaces. Can deal with it, but if too many people press in around him and give him no space, he can snap.
- Cloud Cuckoolander: No shortage of eccentricity, but has mellowed out in recent years.
- Deadpan Snarker: Has his moments, but sarcasm is his go-to.
- Fake Brit: Once upon a time, he picked up a Received Pronunciation accent to play an English news anchor for a theatre production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, then he started cosplaying as the Tenth Doctor, and after that, the accent got mixed in with his regular accent for several years.
- For the Evulz: Used to work retail. Would frequently antagonize unhelpful customers to salvage some amusement.
- Grammar Nazi: He finds the term no longer funny given recent events, so he prefers the term "Grammar Gestapo," with Added Alliterative Appeal.
- I Call It "Vera": His cars are named, usually as Shout Outs. He has had a Honda Civic named Idris (the name of the woman whom the Heart of the TARDIS possessed in Doctor Who), a Chevy Excursion named Brunhilde, and a red Subaru named Scarlet (Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tale).
- It Amused Me: His rationale for half of the trollish things he does.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: An unapologetic Troll with a penchant for sarcasm, but still goes out of his way to be kind to people not pissing him off.
- Military Brat: More specifically, Air Force brat.
- Myers–Briggs: Introverted, iNtuition, Thinking, Judging - Turbulent.
- Have also tested for ISTJ and INTP, but INTJ appears to be the most common.
- Nerd: Unapologetically so.
- Old Shame: Just about everything on his Fan Fiction.Net page. He keeps it around as a reminder of how far he's come, and he occasionally posts new things to it anyway.
- Porky Pig Pronunciation: Picked up from his time working retail for a while, but it appears to have gone away.
- Reference Overdosed: His style of writing can be quite reference-heavy, though he is self-aware and has been making them far more abrupt.
- Rooting for the Empire: Despite being a good guy deep down, he's a big fan of the Trope Namer, and other such subjects.
- Shameless Self-Promoter: He has written three fanfics that he has been the one to put under the recommended fics section, and a page of one of said works that he created. No one has taken them off yet. Guess people just assume they're actually good.
- Heroic Self-Deprecation: Despite this, he doesn't hold a terribly high opinion of his own writing and frequently can be found being overly-critical of his own uploaded chapters.
- Signing-Off Catchphrase: "Rytex out. Have a good day!"
- Soul Crushing Retail Job: Responsible for a case of depression, but fortunately, well past that job.
- Speech Impediment: Picked up a stutter while working retail that he is trying to work out of his normal speech.
- Stylistic Suck: Has written not one but two Legend of Zelda badfics for April Fools' Day.
- Third-Person Person: As evidenced.
- Troll: If one knows him on Facebook, they won't be surprised to see him derailing political conversations by posting GIFs of Stephen Colbert with popcorn.
- You Make Me Sic: An unapologetic Grammar Gestapo, and will point out your grammatical errors if you make them.
- (He wanted to sneak something in down here, but couldn't think of anything. Also, don't you hate it when someone opens a parentheses without closing it?
