Does anyone have characters that they want to Tropify? Having trouble with it? Post 'em here, and let others take a crack at it!
I'm trying to Tropify a few characters myself, and I'm having trouble with a couple (is that a good thing?) I'm aware that only the author knows their characters best, but I think I need a less subjective view here - my subjectivity is getting in the way, I'm being too specific and nit-picky. Here are the two characters that need aid with Tropification:
Inagi – he is a full-blooded wolf-demon. He is approximately 23. He is tall, muscular, and has cold grey eyes. He has an unusual hair color, even among his people, a reddish-brown color, similar to red clay. He has ears on the sides of his head, but they are pointed at the tips, and extend slightly upward, much like an elf’s. His senses of vision, smell, taste, hearing, and touch are much greater than Akiko’s, due to her impure blood. Inagi is extremely strong and warlike, and often uses open intimidation, violence, or threats to win fights or get his way. He is known for his brutality and viciousness, as well as for ignoring that which he does not wish to see. He is rude, overly-forward, and cruel, especially to Akiko. This, however, is because he sees her as taunting him, and thinking herself above him, while he lusts after her (not love, mind you, lust.), and he reacts accordingly. She also reminds him of his wife, whom he loved deeply, but who saw him simply as a toy and a means to an end, and cheated on him without impunity. This crushed him, and would color his view of women from then on. He is extremely distrustful of women and is harsh when he perceives a slight upon himself, or any laxness within the society to which he belongs. He is known also for his severe punishments if such an event occurs, which he doles out regardless of whether or not he has gained the approval to do so from his Alpha. He is the omega in the pack. He is mentally unstable, and prone to bouts of violent rage. He makes everything personal, and is a narcissistic sociopath. He has an unidentified (by others) extreme "Madonna/Whore" complex that was triggered by his unfaithful wife. Character idea originally stemmed from "Broud" of Clan Of The Cave Bear - their reasoning is similar.
Mikami – she is a human woman, about 19 or 20 years old. She has an exceptionally pretty face, brown eyes, and long black hair. She is a wealthy noblewoman, who is estranged from her family. They do not accept her, and she blatantly and adamantly refuses to participate in their high-stakes, high-level political schemes involving the puppet court in Kyoto. She lives with her domineering, suspicious husband, to whom she was shipped off as punishment for her refusal. He is lower in status than she, and it brings her shame within Japan's social class structure. Mikami is a good listener, and is otherwise staunch, except for her indulgences in her own lust and a fondness for wine and women. She and Akiko are lovers; their relationship started during Akiko’s tenure as a prostitute, and developed beyond that. They care deeply for each other, and the relationship is built around affection and trust. Mikami loves Akiko, and does not really want to accept that she has married a man. When she admits it to herself, she is jealous and feels more than a little rejected. She wishes for some measure of control in her life, and achieves it in controlling her sexual partners (in the act itself, who she sees, how often, and how many times, their pleasure, and so on) - and later, becoming a somewhat forceful caretaker for a newly-blinded Akiko. Mikami supports her lover and is happy to comfort her when the rare need arises. She is quite possessive of Akiko, but understands that her lover has a life beyond just her - a bit grudgingly. They are not able to see each other frequently after Akiko’s temporary stint as a human ends, but still find ways to meet.

So, help in Tropifying these two, please? I've got some tropes for Inagi, but mostly in the evil camp, like Complete Monster, Manipulative Bastard, Domestic Abuser, Even Evil Has Standards (he...[[{{Understatement doesn't]]) and No Koreans In Japan (he is of Korean descent, and subject to some discrimination becuase of it).
