* AllTakeAndNoGive: As Tex points out in Season 8 and Season 9, Church is unintentionally the Taker in their relationship. He constantly pursues her no matter what she wants and refuses to let her go, being extremely demanding and warning her at his side at all times without ever considering her wants. Church is guilt-ridden when he realizes this, but he starts developing this with the Reds and Blues in Season 10, once again constantly demanding they help him with no regard for their well-being or wants. He only realizes this after he drives them away.

Church is guilt-ridden when he realizes this, but he starts developing this with He also constantly railroads the Reds and Blues in Season 10, once again into going along with his agenda while constantly demanding they help insulting them and in some cases subjecting them to physical harm, culminating in him with no regard for their well-being or wants. He only realizes trying to force them to go on a suicide mission in Season 10 so he can get his revenge on the Director. Part of his CharacterDevelopment is moving past this after he drives them away.and settling into a healthier way of treating the people around him.



* HeroicWannabe: Downplayed, but Church is very quick to call himself a hero or at least insinuate he has heroic potential (albeit potential that he'd rather waste) to his friends in the early seasons, which they are ''very'' quick to shut down. Even after Church becomes genuinely heroic, he still has a bad habit of making grand heroic gestures without thinking of the consequences, which always winds up biting him in the ass.

* HeroicWannabe: Downplayed, but HeroicWannabe: Church is often very quick to call himself a hero or at least insinuate he has heroic potential (albeit potential that he'd rather waste) to his friends even if he'll just as soon deny it. It's more prominent in the early seasons, which they are ''very'' quick seasons where he'll frequently claim to be a hero, something his friends will instantly shut down. Even after It's also a subtler recurring flaw, as Church actively becomes genuinely heroic, he still has a bad habit frequently tends to model his actions off of making grand heroic gestures fictional protagonists he's seen on films and TV without thinking of through the consequences, which always winds up biting him in the ass.consequences.


Added DiffLines:

* WrongGenreSavvy: He shows subtle shades of this. He seems to think that he and Tex are a classic case of UST and that his behavior towards her is romantic and noble, when in reality their relationship is toxic and Church is extremely possessive of her. He also tends to think of himself as a lone wolf-type badass, but his attempts to act like one often result in either humiliation or harsh consequences.

I marginally trimmed something and dealt with Sinkholes. Also, Jerk With A Heart Of Gold is a Sub Trope to Jerkass (as revealed on Super Trope).


The closest the series has to a proper protagonist in the first several seasons -- the OnlySaneMan, a DeadpanSnarker, and world champion {{Jerkass}}, though he does have [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold moments of kindness]]. A neurotic and almost perpetually angry individual who barely gets along with his teammates, Church is the defacto leader of the Blue Team since their commanding officer, Captain Flowers, died of a heart attack (or an aspirin overdose; it's kind of ambiguous).

* CharacterDevelopment: Throughout multiple arcs and two different incarnations, Church evolves from a [[ItsAllAboutMe self-centered]] [[{{Jerkass}} asshole]] who cares only about himself and his girlfriend into a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold heroic asshole]] willing to sacrifice himself for both his friends and countless innocent people. He also becomes [[TookALevelInKindness significantly more empathetic and altruistic]] towards others as the series goes on, with him specifically going through a DefrostingIceQueen process with Carolina in Season 10 and being completely dedicated to saving the people of Chorus throughout Season 13 - all of which is a far cry from the bitter jackass that claimed he HatesEveryoneEqually in the Season 5 finale.

*** When Hargrove is talking about the improved Meta suit to Locus and Felix, he dismisses the idea of capturing Epsilon to run Maine's armor - stating that Epsilon wouldn't be powerful enough. In Episode 20, these suspicions are confirmed: Epsilon is forced to dissolve himself and destroy his memories to generate enough fragments to help Tucker operate the suit, effectively killing himself in the process.
*** Easily the most blatant example, however, is in the background of a shot in the final episode - The flashing text on [=F.I.L.S.S.'=] computer monitor forms the sentence "Church dies at the end" [[FreezeFrameBonus for a few frames.]]

In ''Recreation'' and ''Revelation'', Church is "resurrected" in the form of Epsilon. At first a mere shell of his former self, he slowly begins to reassemble his personality (with the help of Caboose, the other Reds and Blues, the Freelancer Offsite Storage Facility's database, and other digital records), as he tries to reunite with Tex. In the process, he mellows out considerably before trapping himself inside a broken Memory Unit to reunite with and save Tex, whom the Meta had previously trapped inside. Inside, he begins to relive the Alpha's memories of Blood Gulch, reconciling with his past, and realizing that despite the low points, his life was pretty good.

In ''Recreation'' and ''Revelation'', Church is "resurrected" in the form of Epsilon. At first a mere simple shell of his former self, he slowly begins to reassemble his personality (with the help of Caboose, the other Reds and Blues, the Freelancer Offsite Storage Facility's database, and other digital records), as he tries to reunite with Tex. In the process, he mellows out considerably before trapping himself inside a broken Memory Unit to reunite with and save Tex, whom the Meta had previously trapped inside. Inside, he begins to relive the Alpha's memories of Blood Gulch, reconciling with his past, and realizing that despite the low points, his life was pretty good.



** Later, Epsilon gives an '''incredibly''' harsh and brutal one to the other Reds and Blues near the end of Season 10's "Change of Plans," calling them out on all of the crap he's been given by them (whether intentionally or not). To his credit, though, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he's instantly regretful]] and apologizes by proxy to the rest of the Blood Gulch Crew during the fight against the Tex Drones by calling himself "an asshole."

* HeroicWannabe: Downplayed, but Church is very quick to call himself a hero or at least insinuate he has heroic potential (albeit potential that he'd rather waste) to his friends in the early seasons, which they are ''very'' quick to shut down. Even after CharacterDevelopment results in him becoming genuinely heroic, Church still tries to act how he thinks a hero would on occasion, which generally leads to him causing more problems for himself in the long run.

* FatalFlaw: Throughout both of his iterations, Church is quite clearly [[ItsAllAboutMe full of himself]]. His CharacterDevelopment in ''The Project Freelancer Saga'' and ''The Chorus Trilogy'' is him learning how toxic and hurtful his egotism and selfishness can be to those around him.



* TheHero: Church is usually the one leading the Reds and Blues on whatever misadventure they get themselves wrapped up in thanks to the dubious distinction of being the most competent out of all of them and being naturally charismatic, always being the one to get things done and drive the plot. He takes a good bit of pride in this, and his character arc in Season 12 is him realizing that the Reds and Blues have become more competent and he ''doesn't'' need to do everything anymore.
