Cloudflier, known to friends as Richard, enjoys wasting his life away here on TV Tropes. Known for his kindness, snarky remarks, bursts of randomness, and general stubborness, he often finds himself getting into unusual situations. His eccentric behavior seperates him from the social norm, something he takes pride in. His steadfast heart of gold tends to be the cause of much conflict between him and those who disagree with his morals. Despite his tendency to clash with others, he is found by many to be quite lovable.

He enjoys spending his time reading Star Wars books, playing videogames, surfing TV Tropes, Role Playing, writing stories, and helping others. While his writing skills are severely lacking, his ideas have great potential, according to his friends.

Some of his friends are:
* {{Tropers/AlbinisticRanger}}
* {{Tropers/XaJElectric}}
* {{Tropers/PikeMinnow}}
* {{Tropers/Iblitazer}}
* {{Tropers/DS127}}
* {{Tropers/PeachyKeane}}

!!Tropes Involving This Troper

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Tropes That Apply to This Troper]]
* AFriendInNeed: Richard is fiercely loyal. This sets him up quite a bit for getting backstabbed. The upside of this is that helping people in need is usually what is required for pulling him out of his frequent depressions. If the person he helps is a friend, the time until the next depression hits is usually a lot better.
* AllAbusersAreMale: It was never the women that picked on him.
** [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in his highschool years; his closest friends are female, and they can be quite violent at times.
* BeliefMakesYouStupid: He gets a lot of grief from others for being a Christian. He endures it while making sure he doesn't fall into this trope.
* BlessedWithSuck: Most men would love getting attention from girls. Richard does not. It makes him feel uncomfortable. This may partially be due to having autism.
* ButtMonkey: Oh so very much.
* CannotSpitItOut: It took him a good several minutes before he was able to tell Julianne how he felt about her.
* ChaoticGood: Richard does what he feels is right, regardless of what others may think. This includes any governing power.
* ChasteHero: He's pretty oblivious to how some girls feel about him. He's begun to catch on, although he still can be pretty blind in that area.
* ChickMagnet: Much to his despair.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: He loves helping others, often at personal costs to himself. The thing is that while ChronicHeroSyndrome drains him dry, it also seems to be what fuels him.
* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: No one likes people who stray from the norm. Richard is one who excels at contradicting what's normal. Although he does tend to annoy people when he complains a bit too much, which is a fault of his. He's acknowledged it and is trying to overcome it.
* CovertPervert: A bit of an unusual example. He doesn't hide the fact he sometimes thinks about perverted things, but he usually doesn't share said thoughts. When he does, the reactions can be quite humorous.
* CreatorBreakdown: Richard had a few of these when some of his friends kept bashing on certain aspects of his work. He recovered from all of them though.
* DeadpanSnarker: Considering his parents' personalities, he was doomed to become one.
* DeconfirmedBachelor: Describes Richard quite well. He still denies it though for a number of reasons.
* DespairEventHorizon: His breakup with Julianne left him desolated.
* {{Determinator}}: He takes a lot of crap in his everyday life, sometimes to the point of emotional breakdown. Even at his worst though, he just doesn't stay down. Even after his DespairEventHorizon left him empty and broken, he continues to keep pushing on.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Spoken about Richard and Julianne. Naturally, Richard and Julianne were the last to see it.
* FalseFriend: Always the victim, Richard has been backstabbed time and time again.
* FourManBand: Richard's RagtagBunchOfMisfits is one of these.
** [[OnlySaneMan The Normal Girl]]: Julianne
** TheSmartGuy : Pike
** [[LovableSexManiac The Pervert]]: Peachy
** [[ButtMonkey The Butt Monkey]]: Richard
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: He puts himself down a lot. He measures himself with a higher set of standards than he does with everyone else. TruthInTelevision indeed.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: This was Richard during his childhood and early adolescent years.
* KidsAreCruel: Richard was picked on quite often.
* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Rumors go around his school occasionally about him going out with different girls, despite the fact he's been single his entire life. His friends also tease him regularly about potential relationships.
* LonersAreFreaks: Richard is a victim of this too.
* LoveRedeems: Not a classical example, but Julianne's love for Richard has pulled him out of his chronic depression as well as readying him to fix his past mistakes. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] when the relationship ended. Julianne still cares deeply about him, but none of her (or anyone else's) attempts to comfort him have had any effect.
* MilesToGoBeforeISleep: His take on life was this before he met Julianne. After their relationship reverted to just friends, he returned to this point of view.
* MistakenForGay: Some people view Richard's avoidence of relationships with girls to be a sign of homosexuality. He's actually just a combination of shy and uncertain of the girls' true intentions. He wishes to avoid getting burned because he trusted someone he shouldn't have.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: He struggles with this trope. He's accepted it as a part of life, but he doesn't enjoy it.
* NoodleIncident: An incident that occured on Richard and Julianne's first date.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He does this for the lolz.
* OnlySaneMan: Richard falls into this at times. Sometimes this isn't the case though.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Richard belongs to one of these.
* [[TooMuchInformation Too Much]] [[PrecisionFStrike Friggin]] [[TooMuchInformation Information]]: He does this all the time. ALL THE TIME.
* WhatTheHellHero: Sometimes played for the lolz.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tropes That Others Apply to This Troper]]
* AwesomeMcCoolName: His full name even MEANS something cool! Run for president man, seriously.
* ButtMonkey : Some of his friends, namely {{Tropers/PikeMinnow}} , {{Tropers/XajElectric}}, and {{Tropers/PeachyKeane}} like to tease Richard. All. The. Time.
* CatSmile : He uses the cat smile emote quite often.
* {{Expy}}: [[PlayingWithATrope Played With]] in that Cloudflier has never seen LegendOfTheSeeker but there are some rather interesting parallels between main character Richard Cipher and the Cloudfliers. And Richard himself. And many girls he knows/writes.
* LauncherOfAThousandShips: One of the many ways {{Tropers/PikeMinnow}} and {{Tropers/XajElectric}} tease the ButtMonkey.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Most definitley.

[[folder:Tropes Used in ''Chaos Storm'']]
* AFriendInNeed: Chris Cloudflier is fiercely loyal to those he considers a friend.
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler:Chris was the good half of the Spirit of Balance. When he joined with the evil half, the spirit was restored. He left to take care of the duties he now had to do.]]
* {{Badbutt}}: Sonby the Puffhog
* BattleCouple: Chris and Jenny "Flare" Cloudflier (and Samantha after Jen died)
* BerserkButton: Insult his appearance with nicknames such as puffball, and Sonby will go nuts on you.
* BigDamnHeroes: Everyone gets one of these moments.
* BigEater: Sonby. His stomach is like a dimension of its own.
** He even stores items in it.
* ButtMonkey: Sonby the Puffhog takes abuse from everyone.
** IronButtMonkey: Sonby again.
* CallingYourAttacks: "BAN HAMMA!"
* ChaoticGood: Chris definately fits the bill.
* ChewToy: Sonby gets kicked around a ton. Jack also takes more than his fair share of abuse.
* [[LukeNounverber Chris Nounverber]]
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: A trait that shows up in the entire Cloudflier bloodline.
* CrusadingWidower: Chris became one after Jen died. Despite this, his morals took no hits. The same can't be said about his social life though.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Zhadow is not one you want for an opponent.
** [[BreakingTheFourthWall He's even read the]] EvilOverlordList.
* DeadpanSnarker: Everyone created by Richard. Period.
** Yes, even Zhadow fits this.
* DeathIsCheap: Chris had died four times and he has come back from the dead just as many times. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by several characters in-universe, stating that he has a revolving door in the afterlife.
** Possibly [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in that [[spoiler:Chris turned out to be the good half of the Spirit of Balance, which kept his spirit in the land of the living.]]
*** Since Chris always came back to life, [[FridgeLogic no one actually needed to sacrifice themselves for him]].
**** It would have been [[AvertedTrope Averted]] if the Dark Doom Creature had killed Chris. He always came back because his body was restored. If the Dark Doom Creature had hit Chris with that attack, his body would have been destroyed entirely. He would have been stuck in ghostly form, powerless to do anything.
** [[AvertedTrope Averted]] brutally by Jen, Sam, Rick, Zhadow, and his parents.
** The third Dark Chaos has died many times, but he continues to come back through possessing clones of himself. [[spoiler:This came to an end when Chris finally located and destroyed the facility Dark Chaos had made for himself. Unfortunately, he survived the destruction.]]
* {{Determinator}}: Can't keep a Cloudflier down.
* DePower: Chris lost his connection to his Chaos powers a few times after being shot out of a wormhole. He had to gather the [[TransformationTrinket Chaos Gemstones]] to restore that connection.
* EvilCounterpart: The third Dark Chaos is Chris from another dimension. This one was more relentless than the previous one, and no good existed within him.
* EvilIsHammy: The third Dark Chaos definately qualified for this. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] to hell and back.
-->'''Dark Chaos''': Dark Chaos? [[DrunkOnTheDarkSide My power has become far greater than you can imagine.]] [[LargeHam I am]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Dark Mayhem]] [[LargeHam now!]]
-->'''Chris''': A dork by any other name is just as lame.
* EvilKnockoff: The second Dark Chaos.
* EvilTwin: The second Dark Chaos was cloned from Chris. Knowing this, Chris was able to appeal to the good that existed within him. He became Rick Kloudflier.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Chris has a habit of this.
* FalseFriend: Chris fell victim to those under this occasionally. Amon was usually the betrayor.
** [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in the fact she was mentally influenced by some of her "allies" who don't have complete control of their powers.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler:More or less Zhadow's last words.]]
* ILetGwenStacyDie: Chris felt it was his fault Jenny died.
* KilledOffForReal: Jenny Cloudflier, Sam Watson, Rick Kloudflier.
* KnightErrant: Chris Cloudflier
* KryptoniteFactor: Ordonium, a synthetic substance created by Zhadow to use against Chris, neutralizes Chaos energy. It isn't very durable, so it was often mixed with other materials. It became completely useless once Chaos energy was converted into Balance energy by the Spirit of Balance.
* LethalJokeCharacter: Sonby. Literally, at times.
* LogicalWeakness: In name only. Ordonium (named after order) neutralizes Chaos energy.
* MadeOfIron: Every important character in the series falls under this.
* MagnificentBastard: Supreme Commander Zhadow has all the makings of [[TheThrawnTrilogy Grand Admiral Thrawn]].
* MarriedToTheJob: Chris loved the family he created with his second wife, Samantha, with all his heart. However, he knew he had an obligation to all life, not just them. Though this prevented him from spending as much time with his family as he would have liked, it created no rift between them. They understood that he did what he had to do.
* MegaManning: Sonby can inhale and copy the abilities of most things.
* MirrorMatch: Chris vs. Dark Chaos. Epic battle may occur.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: Chris's first wife, Jennefer "Flare" Cloudflier, was vaporized when she jumped in front of an attack launched by the Dark Doom Creature, saving Chris's life. Not only did he never get to say goodbye, but it was also [[NiceJobBreakingItHero partially his fault that]] [[SealedEvilInACan it had escaped its prison]]. [[ILetGwenStacyDie He blamed himself for what happened to her]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Cloudfliers also seem to have a tendency towards unintentionally screwing the worlds over.
* NobleDemon: Zhadow is one of these.
* NoEndorHolocaust: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. Chris knew that the world of Myth would suffer greatly if the Subspace Orbital Cannon crashed down upon it.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Chris acts clueless often to avoid letting others know he's actually quite competant.
* OnlySaneMan: Chris finds himself to be this a lot.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Chris formed several of these during his dimensional travels.
* SealedEvilInACan: The Dark Doom Creature is one of these, as well as [[spoiler:the evil half of the Spirit of Balance.]]
* ShoutOut: There are quite a few of these.
* StupidEvil: The third Dark Chaos tends to be this quite often. Also [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded to hell and back]].
* SupremeChef: Chris is one. He often acts as the cook for the numerous [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits ragtag bunches of misfits]] he becomes a part of.
* SurvivorGuilt: Chris carries a lot of this around with him. His parents, Sam Watson, and even his first wife Jenny died keeping him from dying himself.
* TakingAThirdOption: Chris lives by this. He's overcome several of Zhadow's [[XanatosGambit Xanatos Gambits]] using this method.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: A common reaction by Chris to many situations.
* WalkingDisasterArea: Chris could be this at times.
** Cameron, however, really takes this trope UpToEleven.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: It's debatable, but Zhadow claims he wishes to bring order to life. He does this through conquest.
* WorldOfSnark: And how! Almost all the worlds are filled to the brim with [[DeadpanSnarker Deadpan Snarkers]].
* XanatosGambit: Zhadow's launched a number of these.

[[folder:Tropes Used in ''Myth Storm'']]
* AFriendInNeed: Just like his great great grandfather, Cameron is fiercely loyal to his friends. This gets him into trouble a few times though before he learns to control his emotions.
* {{Badbutt}}: Sonby again.
* BattleCouple: Cameron Cloudflier and [[{{Tropers/AlbinisticRanger}} Violet]].
* BerserkButton: Sonby still despises being called anything that insults his small, blue, puffy form.
* BigDamnHeroes: Everyone gets a moment, just like before.
* BigEater: Sonby hasn't changed a bit. He can still store items this way.
* ButtMonkey: Sonby, as usual. Cameron ends up as one from time to time too though.
** IronButtMonkey: Sonby still.
* CallingYourAttacks: Sonby shouts "BAN HAMMA!" whenever he draws his large hammer.
* [[LukeNounverber Cameron Nounverber]]
* ChaoticGood: The Grove Lone gang falls under this, despite what some of its members try to claim. Cameron becomes this over time, though he started out as LawfulGood.
* ChewToy: Sonby still.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it, Cameron?
* DeadpanSnarker: This ''is'' a work that Richard had a hand in afterall.
* {{Determinator}}: Cameron, just like his great great grandfather.
* FiveManBand
** TheHero: Cameron Cloudflier
** TheLancer: Talahi
** TheSmartGuy: Chitin

* AlienInvasion: A race of radioactive creatures known as the Shallah are invading the galaxy, attempting to wipe out humanity.
* BattleCouple: Michael Jones (once known as Agent Indiana) and Amber (once known as Agent Washington)
* GonnaNeedMoreTrope: A common reaction of Agent Indiana.
* IGotBetter: Even in a futuristic setting, freelancers that are severely injured shouldn't be able to heal as fast as they do... like in the span of 30 minutes.
* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler: Joan Johnson was thought to have killed Agent Washington's loved one. Washington was very [[{{Understatement}} unhappy]] about this.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Played straight with most everyone that dies in the series. Agent South Carolina is the one that stands out most.]]
** [[spoiler:[[AvertedTrope Averted]] by Michael Jones, who was assumed dead for five years after being caught in a rockslide he triggered to buy his comrades time. Turns out his experimental hibernation lock was more successful than he had predicted it would be. It kept him completely unharmed by the weight of the boulders. After being uncovered by the Shallah shortly after the incident occurred, he was kept in a holding cell until rescued by his comrads and brought out of hibernation lock.]]
*** [[spoiler:Seemingly played straight once more when Michael Jones died in the seige of Madrigal. Ironically, it wasn't the Shallah that reportedly killed him, but instead was his past comrade Joan Johnson that had been LeftForDead on a remote planet during a [[ScaryDogmaticAliens Covenant]] attack (which is itself an [[AvertedTrope aversion]]). However, Michael Jones was in fact alive and relatively well, having [[FakingTheDead framed his own death in order to leave the freelancers without being hunted down, and taking on the identity of the man that had supposedly killed him.]] It backfired when Amber hunted him down to avenge him.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The Shallah were peaceful at first. Then Indiana shot one during an encounter.
** He wasn't the first though. He was just the straw that broke the donkey's back.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge:[[spoiler: Agent Washington is ''[[{{Understatement}} not]]'' [[{{Understatement}} happy]] about Agent Indiana's death. Once she finds out that Joan Johnson was responsible, she makes him her number one enemy.]]
* XanatosGambit: It is unclear what this plan entails, but Indiana has hinted to having one in store for the future.
