History Tropers / TwoGunAngel

32 year old troper from Wisconsin. Likes anime, manga, fantasy, gaming (both of the {{tabletop|RPG}} and console varieties), and action movies.

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Back in my high-school days, I came up with a vampiric ninja warrior. His best friend was a werewolf, and his other friends included a descendent of the Van Helsing clan who he was in love with, and a badass guitar rocker based on Ted Nugent. He fought Dracula and his demonic consort Lilith, and also had a grudge against a commando-style team of vampire hunters who were very KnightTemplar-ish about their business and who killed his lover and sire in a quite vicious way. If I ever revisit this guy, he's getting a complete makeover and a serious reimagining as far as world and antagonists are concerned. I might keep the commando-style vampire hunters though.

* UnstoppableRage: And a few of them have gone ballistic, usually when their friends got hurt or worse.

* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' is my latest game, an epic fantasy game that is one of my favorites so far. Not sure if I plan on grabbing any of the [=DLCs=], but I do plan on getting my hands on some of the other Elder Scrolls games out there.

* {{Expy}}: I played a lot of Play By Post Games in my day, and will sometimes base characters in my stories off both them and the NPC villains and love interests from the games in question. Sometimes I like to combine traits of previous characters into new ones.

* GunsAkimbo: Being an avowed JohnWoo fan, I have used this trope with pretty much all of my gun-wielding characters in gaming and writing, either as a signature style (like the HitmanWithAHeart responsible for my username) or to achieve MoreDakka during a firefight. I myself don't use the trope personally anymore in light gun games -- accuracy goes straight to shit when dual-wielding the game's guns, and I am much more accurate using single-gun.

* [=NeoseekerDarkKnight=]: This guy was one of my favorite ''{{Touhou}}'' Youtubers, who did a lot of vids of Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and Hisoutensoku. His favorite character was the lovely Yuyuko, and he ''hated'' Patchy. In addition to the Touhou stuff, he also did a lot of other doujin games that I enjoyed (including ''{{Rosenkreuzstilette}}'') as well as some horror games. He eventually got sick of the fanbase hounding him to do Touhou game after Touhou game (which I very much sympathize with) and canceled his account, pulling all of his vids. I like to think he's still out there on Youtube somewhere under a different name doing Let's Plays of doujin games.

* ''BlackLagoon'': First heard about this anime from a poster on a newsgroup for the game TabletopGame/FengShui, who basically called it "Feng Shui: The Anime." The series has a lot of gunfighting action, but what really drew me into the story was the relationship between Revy and Rock, the two lead characters.

* ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade:'' This was the very first major tabletop game I ever bought. I'm not as into the 90s "goth" culture as I used to be, and my interest in vampires (other than as targets for slaying) has waned a bit. Still, it was one of my main gaming influences growing up.

I primarily hang out on Youtube, where I primarily watch LetsPlay vids (I'm a particular fan of NakaTeleeli) and listen to AwesomeMusic.

Still a major SerialTweaker, though I've tried to cut down on such as of late. I also frequent RPG.net (where I go by rbingham2000) and shoot down spam whenever it appears.

* The WebAnimation/HvHMUGEN series by solkenneth003, which combines badass action with some of the best storytelling I've seen in a MUGEN series. Definitely worth checking out.

* NakaTeleeli: First got introduced to him through his Let's Plays of ''TheLegendaryStarfy'' series, loved his Minecraft Survival series, and am currently following the ''{{Persona 4}}'' Let's Play. I may check out the ''DotHack'' game that he also LP'd as well.

* ''Series/CaptainPower'': One of my favorites as a kid, though it was pretty short-lived. I hope someday to watch the series again.

* The ''Franchise/{{Mario}}'' series: Much like a lot of old-school Nintendo gamers, my very first game was Super Mario Bros. on the NES, and it's fascinating how the franchise has evolved over twenty-five years.

[{AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]

Anime and Manga of Interest:

Cartoons of Interest:
* ''{{Thundercats}}'': Probably one of my favorite cartoons back when I was a little boy.
* ''DuckTales'': A common watch back when I was getting ready for school.
* ''{{Disney/Aladdin}}'': Another favorite from my 90s days.
* ''TheRealGhostbusters:'' Another favorite from childhood.
* ''TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles:'' This was the series that got me interested in martial arts and ninja stuff back in middle school.

Comics of Interest:

Films of Interest:

* ''KillBill'': Probably my favorite of Quentin Tarantino's movies, practically a love letter to martial arts cinema and westerns.

* ''StarWars'': Love it or hate it, the Star Wars saga will always be one of my favorite space fantasy series.

Literature of Interest:

* ''TheLordOfTheRings'': Still one of the most influential HighFantasy sagas in literature.
* ''NineteenEightyFour'': Still one of the most frightening {{Dystopia}}n works ever written, whose message has not faded even 28 years after the title date came to pass.
* ''AnimalFarm'': Another one by GeorgeOrwell. A very sobering look at the Russian Revolution and its eventual turning on itself by way of BeastFable.
* ''TheGiver'': Another rather sobering {{Dystopia}}n work from middle school.

Tabletop Games of Interest:
* ''BigEyesSmallMouth'': Mainly bought this game because I was (and still am to some degree) a big anime fan in the late 90s/early 2000s.
* ''DungeonsAndDragons'': Didn't get into this game until the very late 90s/early 2000s, but it's one of my bigger interests in this day and age.

* ''VampireTheMasquerade:'' This was the very first major tabletop game I ever bought. I'm not as into the 90s "goth" culture as I used to be, and my interest in vampires (other than as targets for slaying) has waned a bit. Still, it was one of my main gaming influences growing up.

TV of Interest:
* ''{{Firefly}}'': Though it only lasted for half a season (damn you, FOX!), the series and its characters still hold that special place.
* ''{{Captain Power}}'': One of my favorites as a kid, though it was pretty short-lived. I hope someday to watch the series again.
* ''MightyMorphinPowerRangers'': The show that introduced me to the {{Sentai}} team genre, and one of my favorites from middle school.
* ''{{Series/Highlander}}'': One of my favorite shows as a teenager, whose fandom on the internet first introduced me to fanfiction.
* ''HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys'': One of the biggest HeroicFantasy shows of the late 90s and one of my favorites.
* ''XenaWarriorPrincess'': The other major HeroicFantasy show, which was both kick-ass and gave rise to my first femmeslash ship (several years before I even knew what {{shipping}} was).

Video Games of Interest
* The ''{{Mario}}'' series: Much like a lot of old-school Nintendo gamers, my very first game was Super Mario Bros. on the NES, and it's fascinating how the franchise has evolved over twenty-five years.
* The ''{{Zelda}}'' series: My first real Zelda game was Link's Awakening, and my other favorite game of the series is Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64.
* The ''MegaMan'' series: Another one of my old favorites as a kid, my first real Mega Man game was Mega Man V. I haven't beaten a lot of the old NES Mega Man games, but anyone who does so in vids and elsewhere has my respect -- those games were (and still are) the epitome of NintendoHard.
* The ''{{Doom}}'' series: My first real FirstPersonShooter and the series which turned me on to DemonSlaying.
* The ''DukeNukem'' series: I first got into the series through ''Duke Nukem II'' and then the shareware version of ''Duke Nukem 3D''. I might pick up ''DukeNukemForever'' somewhere down the road.
* The ''MortalKombat'' series: One of my favorite fighting game series and my first real "gorefest" game.
* The ''{{Touhou}}'' series: BulletHell is a genre that I frankly suck at, but I got into the series because of the awesome and adorable doujinshi on Danbooru and elsewhere, and because of the awesome music.
* ''AdventureQuestWorlds'': I play a lady Paladin and Undead Slayer by the name of Etheara who is on the side of Good, as well as an Evil Rogue/Mage by the name of Ariacus.
* ''LordOfTheRingsOnline'': Not as active nowadays as I used to be (mainly because of ''Diablo''), but my two highest-level characters are Baralur and Denenthera on the Imladris server.
* The ''MassEffect'' series: Personally haven't played the series, but the Let's Plays and other vids on Youtube are quite awesome, and I love the fanfics that people write for the series. I especially love ''MassEffect2'', but I think I'm going to wait until Bioware releases all three games together before I dive into the franchise in general.
