Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope


* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The artist designs assorted background/side characters in her spare time, most with their own personalities/vague backstories (much of which causes OneDegreeOfSeparation to come into play)

A webcomic in-the-making by [[AttentionWhore some chick]] on Website/{{deviantART}}.

She hasn't started it yet, mostly because she is busy [[RidiculousProcrastinator doing]] [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny other]] [[OriginalCharacterTournament things]].

Really the only reason this page exists right now is that she finds it hilarious how many tropes apply to her characters. Also, she wants to have it on hand if/when her comic gets popular.

She will do her best to avoid spoiler-riffic things.

At this point in time, this page is merely serving as a place-holder for tropes that apply to her characters as they stand now. When the comic is started though, it will be wiped clean and only list tropes that apply to the story thus far. Consider it a "glance into the future", if you will. Although the only people who are looking at this page are the artist's friends who already know all of these things anyway, it is of little impact.

!Story
Not much is here, understandably, considering the darn thing hasn't even begun yet.


* PrepositionalPhraseEqualsCoolness
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The artist designs assorted background/side characters in her spare time, most with their own personalities/vague backstories (much of which causes OneDegreeOfSeparation to come into play)
* MagicalLand: explains all the weird stuff that goes down
** some characters have ElementalPowers
** and others have SummonMagic
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: The artist is fascinated by [[{{Wiki/Wikipedia}} the]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_separation six degrees of separation]], and you could trace many of her characters back to one another through their shared acquaintances.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: The artist is likewise fascinated by large words and the general use of the English language, to the point where she reads through thesaurus.com like a second tvtropes. Unsurprisingly, really, she is prone to using absurdly large strings of words as titles for chapters and the like. In her writing, she tries to keep the wording more simple so people don't have to go running for a dictionary every other sentence, but the occasional PurpleProse-esque word or phrase might slip in.
* AMinorKidroduction: the story starts off with a child version of Darius. Contrary to what this trope implies though, it lasts longer than just an introduction.
* [[TheTropeWithoutATitle The Vast Amount Of Things That Don't Have A Title]]: Still being in the developmental stage, many places and things seem to be lacking in proper names. (i.e., The Fields, The Troupe, The Forest that the Aurora Dell [see below] is placed in, etc)


! Characters, Their Tropes, and The Tropes That Apply Within the Regions

!!North West

* Cory Mc'Allen (and Mollie)
** BoringButPractical: Cory's outfit. Not nearly as fancy as some [[CostumePorn other characters' outfits]], but it keeps him warm out there in the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Fields]].
** OurGhostsAreDifferent: mostly because she's a sheep
** BigBrotherInstinct: Cory has it.
** GrayEyes (type 3), with a touch of green.

* Julia Range
** GoodIsNotNice: Type 3, with maybe a touch of type 2. She is QUITE the snarky stick-in-the-mud. (Overlaps with JerkassWoobie due to backstory reasons.)
** Sometimes goes off on [[ForeignLanguageTirade foreign language tirades]]

!!Central City (temporary name, despite it being farther east than being central)

* The Clockwork King
** TheGoodKing: highly favored by many many subjects of the country.
** WhoWantsToLiveForever? Certainly not him. Isn't given too much choice, unfortunately.

* The Princess (no name as of yet)
** SilkHidingSteel

** ElectiveMute: only seems to speak to Confetti and perhaps a few others. The rest of the time, she is a SilentBob, communicating with body language, or having someone (usually Confetti) act as her [[VoiceForTheVoiceless interpreter]].
** GentleGiant: being the stilt walker (and in costume most of the time), she is most often portrayed VERY tall.

* Jojo Bop
