(I'm not sure where this really belongs, so I'm putting it in YF for now. Mods, feel free to move it to Forum Games if you think it fits better there.)
The point of this thread is to list your favorite tropers and say what makes you like them so much. Please be specific; we already have Gushing About Shows You Like if you want to gush about TV Tropes or the Forums in general.
EDIT: Chopped the list because it's now quite outdated, and there are some comments in here that only made sense back in 2009 and may have even been a bit creepy.

In a futile effort to rerail, I'd like to re-emphasize my previous vandro-related comment.

I like Vandro for his Hot-Blooded tendencies, and for being amusing.
Not axe crazy I swear
I don't want to rerail. That would entail me saying I need to post more to be memorable enoguh to appear here more.

Schitzo seems like a fine guy—I haven't talked to him a lot, but he seems pretty nice to everyone. For some reason, I keep mixing him up with Smokie, but that's another thread.

TV Tropes #1 Anime Fan
AOD knows raocow? It's a small net after all... Yeah, I met him on a webcomic forum around 2003 or 04, I think. I liked his comic and we started chatting and it sort of went on from there.
He's not like his internet persona (which came years later) at all!

Vandro is a very cool guy to have around. He needs to work on subtlety, though.
INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

Thank ye, AFGN 
I try to be as polite as I can. None of that Internet Tough Guy crap for me.

Why, Schitzo, that also earns plus points for you in my eyes.

Why, vandro, are you trying to contest me for the award of Shipper on Deck?

I need no prize but the greatest of them. And what you are arguing about is not my concern.

Resisting urge to type "Van" repeatedly.
I'd be happier with being able to do without gendered pronouns for people, too. Maybe they would exist, but there would be a clear neutral option.
