For Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Blade from Red Earth. He was originally Leo's personal bodyguard and best friend. When Leo defeated Hauzer, his advisors told him that one of his guards was captured by Scion, this bodyguard in question was Blade. As Leo knew this he went into the search of blade, only to discover that Blade was turned into Scion's bodyguard via brainwashing, and had no choice but being forcedly to put an end to his friend's life. Finally, when he won the fight, Blade's possesion went off, and as he gained consciousness he felt remorse of the evil actions that he did, then he revealed Scion's fortress, and finally he vanished from existence. Leo was mourning at Blade's death, after the death of his friend, he went to kill Scion as a form of revenge

There, I'm awaiting your answer. And yes, I know It's not recommendable to write a long article, but my intentions are to make a underrated game get more known... But that's not the point here, right?.

I am thinking of creating a page for pre-retcon Beyonder. Just need to know a few things to avoid confusion for people not familiar with the character.

It says the beyonders powers are "vaguely unlimited" and have no clearly defined extent. But i can't understand the difference between "vaguely unlimited" and "vaguely limited". To me both appears to mean the same thing. Thank you.

I'm not sure that "vaguely unlimited" has any syntactic meaning whatsoever, so I'd go with the latter. "Vaguely limited" should mean, if read literally, that the limits themselves are vague — that is, that they are not clearly defined and may change as the story requires. "Unlimited" is an absolute; it cannot be modified.

  • Precocious Crush: Has a crush on his music teacher Ms.Edmunds <—Also, please remove the Teacher/Student Romance since it's a one-sided crush, so it doesn't fit the trope.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: Downplayed, he has always been nice, but at first he was mean with his younger sister May Belle.

Since it has a lot of sentences to edit, I just can't risk myself.

For PlayingWith/ComeAlone:

Basic Trope: A person tells another person from an opposing side to meet up at a location alone, with a clear implication that it would have an ambush.

  • Straight: Emperor Evulz tells Hiro to meet him at Evul Island and tells Hiro not to bring anyone with him, in order to lure him into an ambush. Hiro obligates, only to reveal that Evulz has brought his own army to take down Hiro.
  • Exaggerated: Emperor Evulz tells Hiro to meet him at Evul Island, and Evulz himself is standing on the island alone to pretend he didn't set up an ambush, only to reveal that he has set up a Kill Sat at the outer space to shoot down Hiro.
  • Justified: Emperor Evulz believes that Hiro is too innocent to suspect anyone.
  • Inverted: Emperor Evulz tells Hiro to bring as many people as he can, and gloats that he would come alone and wipe out all of them on his own.
  • Subverted:
  • Double Subverted:
    • However, their men break the promise without their leaders' acknowledgement.
    • It turns out to be a fatal mistake, as Evulz plans to take every last one of Hiro's men with him. As Evulz detonates the bombs planted on the island, he mocks Hiros for breaking their promise.
    • And then Hiro and Evulz order their men to back off so they can initiate an honorable duel.
  • Zig Zagged: ???
  • Parodied: Hiro fulfills the promise to come alone, with a bit of twist: Since his pet dog doesn't count as a "person"...
  • Averted: Evulz doesn't tell Hiro to have any meeting, or at least doesn't insist the latter to come alone.
  • Lampshaded:
    "What? Did you literally expect me to come alone?"
  • Invoked: Hiros outright ask Evulz whether he should come alone.
  • Exploited:
  • Defied:
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
  • Deconstructed: ???
  • Reconstructed: ???
  • Played For Laughs: ???
  • Played For Drama: ???

I have to make this question in a forum, and I want to be sure it's written correctly (It's a bit long), also, if you want, you can already answer too.

I'm writing a very, very long story with Loads And Loads Of Characters (I like creating characters, thankfully they're divided into groups so I can easily keep track on them), and one of them happen to be transexual (biologically female, but identify as male).

Just to be clear, I didn't create him just for the sake of a Token Minority but a friend of mine one day asked me to draw an androgynous character, so I drew it and I liked it, but I wanted to give him a gender, and in the end I decided to make him a ftm transgender (To be precise, a trans male vampire butler). Also, since in Italy transexuality is a heated topic to say the least, there will be only a few criptic hints that he's biologically female (the setting is a medieval fantasy, so no sex-change operation) like the uniform being tight around his chest.

Then I gave him a personality, a fighting style and a role in the story, the only missing thing was a name. I've decided to give him a name wich sounds gender-neutral, tough leaning toward feminity since he was born female and, and I came up with Frannie. However, after a while, I realized it sounds similar to "trannie" which, if I'm not wrong, is a bad term, so, do you think it's better if I change the name?

Thank you, Arivne for those edits a page back. I have this somewhat long one for Rick and Morty:

  • Jerkass Woobie: Jerry also counts; it’s undeniable that his life is utterly miserable. Even ignoring his massive insecurities and overall lack of his success he has to live with a Mad Scientist Father-in-law who openly mocks and belittles him every at every attempt he gets, with it being blatantly obvious the whole family like (or at least respect) Rick more than him meaning he has to bare the dangers and discomforts of all the problems Rick brings, with no else agreeing that Rick makes their lives harder. He has also spent seventeen years in an unhappy marriage to Beth who regularly (sometimes intentionally) makes him feel inferior, his own children barely respect him, he loses his job early in the first season and spends most of the show unemployed, and is easily the shows biggest Butt-Monkey, to point that in season three that the wind itself calls him a “loser”. However, he is also a cowardly idiot whose nearly always makes things worse due to his own stupidity or headstrong refusal to back down. Exploited his own daughter for money. Has a habit of letting even the most minor successes go completely his head, and can be incredible selfish at times, to the point that he’s ignored his own families obvious problems, has willingly endangered four million innocent lives, and even his own son just as long as he benefits.
