History Tropers / AgentKirin

* Music/{{Starset}} (Higher on the [[MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness sliding scale]] than most of what I listen to, but dang, they're good)

* ''Ashlyn'': A 3D platformer starring a timid hippalectryon with phoenix-like powers who must face her fears to save the day. (Currently working on a prototype to learn Unity, Blender, and other useful skills.)

* ''Wildest Dreams'': A game in which you tend a plot of land in order to attract various creatures, which you can send to explore other areas, platformer-style. (Or as I like to put it, "''VideoGame/VivaPinata'' meets Classic ''[[VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon Spyro]]''.")
* ''Pokemon Heights/Depths'': A Pokemon SuperFic taking place in the non-canon [[ElsewhereFic Symphora region,]] where strange things are always happening.

The current schedule is Fridays at 1 PM Pacific time.[[/labelnote]] Where'd the username come from? IdTellYouButThenIdHaveToKillYou... Okay, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13055920330A14529300&page=10#comment-232 here you go.]]

* Music/{{Starset}} (Normally I'm not into metal, but dang, they're good)

* ActingOutADaydream: I do this quite a bit, usually during my walking-around-talking-to-myself sessions. {{Downplayed|Trope}}, as I don't usually act out ''all'' of my actions in the daydream.

* AuthorAppeal: I seem to gravitate towards superheroes and shapeshifting. I also like villains who are [[MagnificentBastard brilliant masterminds]].
* AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: Heck yes. I have three works-in-progress right now, but it's difficult to balance those with each other, let alone with life stuff.

* CasualCompetitiveConflict: I lean towards casual, but sometimes I ''do'' learn some of the more advanced tactics... and then [[MundaneUtility use them to enhance my casual play.]]
* CatchPhrase:
** "You (absolute) walnut."
*** "I [messed up X] like a walnut."
** "...if that makes a lick of sense."
** "Have fun (with that)."
** "Gosh dangit."
** "I can spell, just not today." (To myself, when making a typo.)

* ConvenientlyInterruptedDocument: I use this on occasion to avoid giving out identifying information, or spoilers for stuff I'm working on, or [[GoshDangItToHeck in place of swear words.]]

* GirlsLoveChocolate: Oh, yes. I put it in my coffee every day, and I like to buy a chocolate bar every once in a while. Of course, my choices are limited by my dairy allergy, but the options I ''do'' have are pretty good.

* HeroicBSOD: Despite my best efforts, I do occasionally melt down. Most times, I'm even aware that I'm overreacting.

* {{Kirin}}: I have one as my internet persona, which has gone through a few different designs. The current iteration has VoluntaryShapeshifting abilities so as to fit into any context needed (though I haven't had to use them yet).
* MostFanficWritersAreGirls: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] I am a girl, but none of my fanfics are about romance (and the only one that included it at all has been shelved).
* MustHaveCaffeine: I sip my daily mocha slowly over the course of several hours, using an electric coaster to keep it warm. I always use a dairy alternative due to an allergy. Usually it's almond milk, but in my experience, rice milk goes best with coffee. Recently, I've been blending a bit of coconut oil into it, and it does wonders for the texture.

* NoodleIncident: What happened in history class stays in history class.
* NoSocialSkills: As an [[UsefulNotes/AspergerSyndrome Aspie]], I find socializing difficult. [[DownplayedTrope I've been working on it, though.]]
* [[NotSoBadassLongcoat Not-So-Bad*** Longcoat]]: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. I have a few [[DorkInASweater sweaters]] that could pass for a downplayed version of [[BadassLongcoat the opposite]], except for the fact that I don't have the bad-as-in-awesome-ness to match.

* PerfectlyCromulentWord: "Thingamadoodle."

* SugarAndIcePersonality: I'm a huge introvert, but I can be friendly on the occasions that I do interact with people.
* SuperOCD: Downplayed. It doesn't ''usually'' get in the way of me doing things, but it's there.

* ThinkingOutLoud: [[NotHyperbole All the time.]] Sometimes it gets [[MadnessMantra repetitive]], though.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chocolate, garlic, and fish (not together, obviously). Coffee and root beer as well, if drinks count (also not together).
* UnusualEuphemism: I occasionally use the brony term "plot" instead of "butt" (e.g. "a pain in the plot"), even when talking about non-pony-related stuff. I also use "bad-as-in-awesome" in place of "bad***".
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged.]] I completely lose my cool around stinging insects, with the sole exception of bumblebees (at a safe distance). They're fine in pictures or on the other side of a window, though. There are also a few species I find really interesting (like parasitic wasps and vulture bees) that I still wouldn't want to run into IRL.

!!Average Joe
[[https://www.deviantart.com/agentkirin/gallery/56823421/The-Average-Adventures-of-Average-Joe Average Joe]] is a character I made up on the spot one day when I got bored of drawing [[FurriesAreEasierToDraw ponies.]] He gets into all sorts of adorable shenanigans.
* {{Adorkable}}
* ButtMonkey
* PictorialSpeechBubble: Usually speaks like this, when he speaks at all.
* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: [[MeaningfulName It's in the name.]]

* ''Deal With It'': An aspiring mage [[DealWithTheDevil makes a deal]] with a [[OurDemonsAreDifferent fae]]. HilarityEnsues.

* Music/{{Starset}} (Normally I'm not into metal or sci-fi, but dang, they're good)

* TransformationHorror: As mentioned under NightmareFetishist in the "Tropes that apply to me" section, I have a fascination with this kind of thing.

* NightmareFetishist: I am rather fascinated by [[InvoluntaryShapeshifter involuntary]] and {{painful transformation}}s, and quite a few freaky things in general (see my Favorite Tropes list above).

Hello, I am Agent Kirin. I do everything incognito. EVERYTHING.

I am a visual artist, working primarily in pencil and paper but occasionally doing digital art. I can’t draw people yet, at least not reliably, but I’m working on it.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Not only does it add a bit of novelty to the work it's in, but you might learn about a species you never even knew existed. The same applies to mythical creatures. Like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippalectryon this one.]]

* BerserkButton: People using "autistic" as an insult. Fortunately, I don't frequent the kinds of places where I'd see this a lot, but still.

[[VaguenessIsComing If only there were more than a vague prophecy to tell them what they're up against.]]

* ConvenientlyInterruptedDocument: I use this on occasion to avoid giving out identifying information, or spoilers for stuff I'm working on.

* GoshDangItToHeck: I don't swear (unless you count the word "crap" as swearing).

* NightmareFetishist: I am rather fascinated by [[InvoluntaryShapeshifter involuntary]] and {{painful transformation}}s.

!!Agent [REDACTED] Kirin
Agent [REDACTED] Kirin is my internet persona, shown in the page image. [[CaptainObvious She's a secret agent.]]

* NoNameGiven: [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep [REDACTED] might actually be her real name.]]

* PermanentPlaceholder: I never came up with a name for the character other than "Agent Kirin" (besides adding in [REDACTED] later on), even after changing the style. The no-name stuck.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: To fit into any context I need to put her in. Currently somewhat of an InformedAbility, as I haven't had to make use of it yet.

* Dream job: Character and creature design

* Pretty much everything in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the first Avengers movie is still my favorite.

* MostFanficWritersAreGirls: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] I am a girl, but none of my fanfics are about romance (and only one of them even includes it at all).
* MustHaveCaffeine: I sip my daily mocha slowly over the course of several hours, using an electric coaster to keep it warm. I always use a dairy alternative due to an allergy. Usually it's almond milk, but in my experience, rice milk goes best with coffee.

* LovecraftianSuperpower: Can be pretty interesting.

* ConvenientlyInterruptedDocument: I use this on occasion to avoid giving out identifying information.

* [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Guzma]]'s voice sounds something like [[Music/ThousandFootKrutch Trevor McNevan.]] ({{Jossed}} by the anime. Oh well.)
* Nihilego's tentacles collide while it floats, making a sound like wind chimes. It's a beautiful sound... unless you've ticked off a whole swarm of them.

* FurriesAreEasierToDraw: I'm not that great at drawing humans yet, at least not when I'm trying to. Occasionally I make a half-hearted attempt and it turns out okay, but I can't do it consistently. That's probably why [[note]]or because[[/note]] I went through a phase where I drew almost nothing but ponies.

I also have a [[https://www.twitch.tv/agentredactedkirin Twitch]] account, although I'm currently not streaming until further notice.

* Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove

* AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: I've recently shelved some of my ideas for later, and even then I still have at least four things I'm currently working on.

* Film/Venom2018

* Disney/{{Zootopia}}

* WesternAnimation/LegendOfTheGuardiansTheOwlsOfGaHoole (The movie is what got me into the books. It's a good movie, even if it is inaccurate. Where the heck did that echidna even come from?)

* UnusualEuphemism: I occasionally use the brony term "plot" instead of "butt" (e.g. "a pain in the plot"), even when talking about non-pony-related stuff.

I am a visual artist, working primarily in pencil and paper but occasionally scanning a drawing in to make a digital version. I can’t draw people yet, at least not reliably, but I’m working on it.

My current original project is ''Deal With It'', a fantasy story about [[TheFairFolk a fae]] that is basically [[NotUsingTheZWord a demon by another name]] and a mage who makes a [[DealWithTheDevil deal with it]]. HilarityEnsues, and [[LampshadeHanging lampshades will be hung]].

I’m also writing a fanfic. It's a Pokemon SuperFic called ''On the Ground'' taking place in the non-canon Symphora region, in which a [[JadeColoredGlasses jaded]] {{intrepid reporter}} assembles a team to save the world from its prophesied destruction.

* GirlsLoveChocolate: Oh, yes. I put it in my coffee every day, and whenever I go to the store I make a beeline for the candy aisle. Of course, my choices are limited by my dairy allergy, but the options I ''do'' have are pretty good.
