History Characters / Heirverse

* OpenMouthInsertFoot: Practically runs on this trope but particularly in early ''Game'' where he does nothing to help Gin's misgivings by consistently playing up his {{Casanova}} traits and responding to Gin's rejections in a less than [[PayEvilUntoEvil optimal manner]]

* SnarkToSnarkCombat: With Gin {{Downplayed}} it's much tamer than the Kyōka example but it's there.
* WhatAnIdiot: to Gin [[OnceAnEpisode Constantly]] {{Justified}} as he's an [[LoveMakesYouDumb idiot in love.]]

* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: [[UpToEleven Averted]] because Aizen likes to see Gin blush.

* AManIsNotAVirgin: {{Averted}} in Game.

* NoMoreLies: the end of ''I love'' it [[OutrightLie doesn't stick]].

* SensitiveGuy: In comparison to Aizen though not weak by any means.

* YourCheatingHeart: ''cwst'' treated as a [[TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil special kind of evil.]]

** {{Reconstructed}} in phase 3 as he starts being more honest with Gin.

* BadassGay: Well he is Renji and a lieutenant.

* MomentOfWeakness: Referenced in ''Can't be in there with you'' in a FlashBack of him [[PleaseDontLeaveMe begging Gin to stay with him in the hospital]] he [[LameExcuse blames]] it on [[InVinoVeritas painkillers.]]

!! [[Characters/BleachGotei13Squads8To13 Matsumoto Rangiku]]

!! [[Characters/BleachGotei13Squads1To7 Hinamori Momo]]

!! [[Characters/BleachGotei13Squads1To7 Kuchiki Byakuya]]

!! [[Characters/BleachGotei13Squads1To7 Abarai Renji]]

* CharacterCheck: His insecurities still crop up routinely through series and he still blushes a bit too much. {{Justified}} in the first instance because he's with [[MagnificentBastard Aizen]] and in the later because that's standard for his [[Asexuality orientation.]]

** also does this a bit in phase 3 but it's much softened by the fact that Gin knows exactly what he's doing and plays along.

[[caption-width-right:250:[[UndyingLoyalty Loves him anyway]]

* MasterOfIllusion
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When she stops snarking either [[FromBadToWorse crap just got real]] , [[LetsGetDangerous it's time to drop the hammer]] or Aizen's [[BeneathTheMask seriously hurting]] and she's refraining from [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown piling on.]] Usually leads to DontYouDarePityMe in the last instance.
* SarcasmMode: Constantly

* WhatAnIdiot: to Gin [[OnceAnEpisode Constantly]] {{Justified}} as he's an [[LoveMakesYouDumb idiot in love]].

* BreakThemByTalking: His go to weapon against Aizen. It usually fails but when he [[OhCrap succeeds]]
* CryForTheDevil: His backstory is tragic and when he finally does breakdown in the shower while trying to convince himself he [[IPromisedMyselfIWouldntCry isn't allowed to]] it [[TearJerker hurts ]]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Aizen all the time

* ClingyJealousGirl: shows signs of this.
* InelegantBlubbering
* {{Hypocrite}}: she cheated on Aizen first. Ulq calls her on this. Somewhat mitigated in that Aizen coerced her.

* ExtremeDoorMat: to Orihime

* LoveMartyr: also to Orihime

* BitchInSheepsClothing: She knowingly comes between Aizen and Gin not that Aizen [[EvilFeelsGood complained]]

* SleepCute: a TearJerker variety when he cuddles with a hypothermic Aizen to keep him warm following the fight with Jac.

* InsecureLoveInterest
* {{Uke}}

* AllGaysArePromiscuous: {{Averted}} in ''Sun and Monkey'' he and Byakuya are extremely [[SeductionProofMarriage loyal]]
* BadassGay: well he is Renji

* TheCasanova: And [[CommonKnowledge everyone knows]]
* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: [[UpToEleven Averted]] because Aizen likes to see Gin blush,
* CharacterCheck: {{Invoked}} makes an active point of reminding everyone what a cold bastard he is whenever the mask slips a bit. While some of this is to protect Gin from Jac a lot of it is straight up pride. This is especially noticeable in ''Game'' and ''Safe Harbour'' when he's trying to keep Gin at arms length, Phase 2 with the [[TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil affair]].

* DepravedBisexual
* EnemyWithin: Jac

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: {{Zigzagged}} Starts out {{Deconstructed}} with Aizen trying to find a better partner for Gin to protect him from Jac, but Gin doesn't [[SingleTargetSexuality make it easy]] and Aizen can't really bring himself to go through with it. When he finally does manage to chase Gin away in ''CWST'' it [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone breaks him]]. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Literally no one]] cares not even Cherry.

* MomentOfWeakness: Referenced in ''Can't be in there with you'' in a FlashBack of him [[PleaseDontLeaveMe begging Gin to stay with him in the hospital]] he [[LameExcuse blames]] it on [[InVinoVeritas painkillers]].

* NotSoStoic: {{downplayed}} at the end of ''I love'' played very straight in ''CF'' much to Gin's [[StunnedSilence shock]].

** Safe harbour exemplifies this

* PillarsOfMoralCharacter: Oddly enough but a lot of the Phase 4 plot is driven by a mix On and Gimu towards Gin for standing by him through everything. Admittedly Gin is the only one shows this towards.

* StepfordSnarker: Tends to get an acid tongue whenever Gin hits a little [[DidYouThinkICantFeel too close to home]].

* YourCheatingHeart: ''cwst'' treated as a [[TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil special kind of evil]].

[[caption-width-right:250:[[UndyingLoyalty Loves him anyway]] ]]

* ActOfTrueLove: Many times but most notably agreeing to defect with Aizen and forgiving him his [[WhyWouldAnyoneTakeThemBack ridiculous number of transgressions]]

* DistressedDude: A lot of the problems especially in Phases 2 and 4 are due to Jac pulling a perpetual IHaveYourIndex and Aizen's subsequent [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl always save Gin]].

* ObliviousToLove: The early chapters of ''Game'' are largely driven by his complete denial of his own feeling and oblivious or outright cynicism to Aizen's overtures. It's not entirely [[LadykillerInLove undeserved]]

* TenderTears: In almost every fic in the series and no one is [[TearJerker calling him down]] for it

* NonHumanSidekick

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When she stops snarking either [[FromBadToWorse crap just got real]] , [[LetsGetDangerous it's time to drop the hammer]] or Aizen's [[BeneathTheMask seriously hurting]] and she's refraining from [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown piling on]]. Usually leads to DontYouDarePityMe in the last instance.

* ShipperOnDeck: With Aizen and Gin {{Justified}} in that she's a reflection of Aizen and Gin's [[BlatantLies totally just]] [[LadyKillerInLove a toy to him]].

* {{Kuudere}}: type 1 to the point where even Gin doesn't realize there's a 'dere' side for years.

* CharacterCheck: {{Invoked}} makes an active point of reminding everyone what a cold bastard he is whenever the mask slips a bit. While some of this is to protect Gin from Jac a lot of it is straight up pride. This is especially noticeable in ''Game''and ''Safe Harbour'' when he's trying to keep Gin at arms length, Phase 2 with the [[TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil affair]].

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: {{Zigzagged}} Starts out {{Deconstructed}} with Aizen trying to find a better partner for Gin to protect him from Jac, but Gin doesn't [[SingleTargetSexuality make it easy]] and Aizen's can't really bring himself to go through with it. When he finally manages to chase Gin away in ''CWST'' though it [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone breaks him]]. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Literally no one]] cares not even Cherry.

* OpenMouthInsertFoot: Practically runs on this trope but particularly in early ''Game'' where he does nothing to help Gin's misgivings by consistently playing up his {{Cassanova}} traits and responding to Gin's rejections in a less than [[PayEvilUntoEvil optimal manner]]

* CharacterCheck: His insecurities still crop up routinely through series and he still blushes a bit too much. {{Justified}} in the first instance because he's with [[MagnificentBastard Aizen]] and in the later becasue that's standard for his [[Asexuality orientation]].

* StartOfDarkness: ''Pact'' and ''Cycle'' show how he met Jac and how the hollow subsequently breaks him. Though he wasn't exactly IncorruptablePurePureness to begin with.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: his epic [[ReasonYouSuckSpeech take down]] of Aizen when the later is in the hospital
