Tropers are the result of a genetic experiment

Indeed. The Blue Onis among us are to hold us back, lest we charge in headlong.

But if Tropers come in all combinations of existing Tropes, many will be villainous and bent on destroying life as we know it!

Like me.

Then of course, the other third of the Tropers are completely apathetic and will just discuss why they are so apathetic while another third fights the evil tropers, with heel face turns running rampant.

Edit: You know what, scratch that. That much Drama and trope overload would just be too many headaches. I'm sitting with the apathy crew.

And that is why we haven't taken over the world yet.

I came in through the Heel–Face Revolving Door.

Or you just don't care.

And that is why we haven't taken over the world yet.

Too Genre Savvy for our own good...

To be honest? Taking over the world sucks. Who wants to rule the world? We'd never have time for our fiction then.

Yeah, let's leave it at that.

Yeah sign me up for team apathy. We've all seen how unpleasant it gets when I bother to give a shit about something.

Meanwhile, this would explain the whole "clone army" thing I have going on.

Clone army?

With monotonous regularity, people will tell me just how much I remind them of this guy they know.

My working hypothesis is that I'm part of a clone army.

EDIT: Wow, I'm screwing up my pronouns worse than usual. That's not a good sign.

Pshaw! It's a fact that we tropers are based on existing physical templates.

That could partially explain the fact that many tropers look alike.

Perhaps for colonization purposes... All Tropers will be drugged and put in cryo on a colony ship bound for a habitable world..

We should be sent to Tarsonis!

We could do much better than the Terran Dominion or the Terran Confederacy. Especially in the face of knowing how to defeat the Zerg.

. . . Nuclear plasma lances from orbit?

I have foiled your theory! I'm not good looking!

I'd say "Pshaw" but I don't have any evidence one way or the other, so I will instead posit that you are the one running the experiment!

^ Again, self-deprecation.

Space Marines obviously Goggle Fox, Tyrannic War Veterans!

Zerg are puppies compared to Nids' and we could bring the Guard to snuff them easily...

Wait - It's a bit of a lie.

My theory: We're the antithesis of channers. A generally well-mannered bunch that are offended by racism/sexism/all that jazz? Must be.

We're a government experiment Gone Horribly Right? ...That sounds eerily apt.

Also, only people sure of their good looks post pictures regularly.

No, they're insecure and feel the need to be reassured.

Interesting...

Clearly, a failsafe of insecurity was instituted by Them. It's very hard for your experiment to break out of the laboratory if they're too busy hating themselves.

...Sooo, do we go Phlebotinum Rebel, now?
