Line #1 Fanfic/Hortonverse


1	So you're an e-fedder are you? (Think in-character roleplaying online with the setting of professional wrestling)? Well wouldn't you know, there's a particular fed found somewhere around the internet, (actually two) that together incorporate an expansive universe of many, many characters by a quite a few roleplayers or in e-fed terms, [[CallARabbitASmeerp handlers]]. This is the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Sex & Violence Wrestling]], a traditional wrestling e-fed with many big names and then there's [[LadyLand Femme Fatale Wrestling]]... An all female wrestling e-fed also with quite a large number of characters. The idea behind the two feds running simultaneously and sharing in-character connections between each other while clawing to the top of the food chain? Well that's the [[TitleDrop Hortonverse]]. Named after in-character commentator in both companies, and out-of-character [[TheManBehindTheMan fedhead]] Mark Horton.

5	'''No out of character examples please!''' Only in-character tropes.
6
7	----
8	!!'''Tropes associated with The Hortonverse include:'''
9
10	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Christian Kincaid, take a bow... Also to a lesser extent, a certain [[RedBaron Icon]]...
11	* AsTheGoodBookSays: Trinity plays this trope straight.
12	* AttentionWhore: MIIIIISSSSSSSTTTTTEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRR SSSSSHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWTTTTTTTTIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! leads the pack followed Robbyn Helmsley, Casey Atherton, Hayley Dark, Shane Sanders, Samara Steele, Eric Sanderson, Ginger Rogers, Christian Kane, Crystal [[IHaveManyNames Hilton-Williams-Lopez-califrugistic...]] ...Okay, it would save time if we had just named everyone who wasn't one... [[ThePollyAnna Wendy Briese]].
13	* TheAtoner: Colleen, since her HeelFaceTurn at Unstoppable 3 has been this. Working with kids, staying clean, apologizing to everyone as part of her AA steps. Etc.
14	* BatmanGambit: Samantha Star's usually amount to this with successful results.
15	** Anders Stark playing Cara Stone like a fiddle, telling her he loved her so she would foolish enough to do so publicly and leave it open for him to humiliate her and brutalize her in front of all the fans who'd been DREAMING of a Stark and Stone romantic pairing for ages. [[ShipSinking Anders killed that.]] He killed it hard.
16	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Jodie Gray
17	* ButLiquorIsQuicker: Jenny Williams and Wolf Ramsey say hello.
18	* ButtMonkey: Ah... Thy name is Lyn Dallins.
19	* ChewingTheScenery: This is ProfessionalWrestling. So there are many examples:
20	** "MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR SHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWTTTTTTTTTTTTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!"
21	** [[ThoseTwoGuys Daniel Pollaski and Terrence Thompson]] when featured in Wendy Briese promos.
22	** Christian Kane... Ayla Clone, Dead Hookers, Bon Jovi theme, Shouting for no reason, #STUDLIFE.....
23	** Aimee Easter. Rap Battles and actually speaking in rhyme just to be annoying. Because she can. And she's smarter than you.
24	** Lightning. White robes. Epic entrance music. Etc.
25	** Stark and Stone when they were good guys. I mean...Bouncy Castles.
26	** Crystal Hilton is a good example for actual in-ring performance. She's a self-proclaimed SpotMonkey and will do high flying moves just to show off in matches. Well, she used to anyway.
27	** Hayley Dark. It helps that she's generally obsessed with the spotlight being on her and gets jealous and upset if her friends get attention in any way (Belladonna, Ignis). Also, parkour.
28	* CombatPragmatist: There are many examples under this trope:
29	** Isabella Pazzini's mantra to winning the FFW Championship three times and everything else in between - she is NOT above [[BludgeonedToDeath using a bell hammer to smash your fucking head in]] if that's what it takes.
30	** Team Adonis - between Casey Atherton [[ImprovisedWeapon using handcuffs, ropes and various foreign objects to win matches]], Alex Adonis running interference for his wives and Starla [=McCloud=] once [[ArtisticLicenseMedicine INJECTING SOMEBODY WITH AN ANESTHETIC]] to help her husband win a match...well...
31	** Christian Kane - known for his use of count-outs, psychological warfare, valets running interference, wrenches and even [[NailEm a railroad spike]].
32	** Johnny Moxie - Or as most of us in Hortonverse call him: [[JerkassGods "The King of Bullshit."]]
33	* TheConfidant: Eileen Amaro. Between Ryan Mackenzie telling her about sleeping with Isabella Pazzini behind Stacy's back, [[MoralEventHorizon Cara telling her about her plot to destroy Anders and Caroline's relationship]] and various other horrible secrets she's known about Caroline Dallins, Chris Strike, Lyn Dallins, and many others...she fits the bill.
34	* DisneyVillainDeath: Queen Machine.
35	** Seriously, remember in the "Lion King" [[spoiler: when the hyenas all ganged up on Scar and ate him alive? Well, think that with the hyenas being the Power Trip and Scar being Queen Machine - although instead of eating her, [[GravityIsAHarshMistress they threw her off the stage.]]]]
36	* DrivesLikeCrazy: [[EmphasizeEverything MMMMIIIIIIIISSSTTTTTTEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....SHHOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWTTTTTIIIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!]]
37	* EthicalSlut: Christian Kincaid, Robbyn Helmsley but YMMV.
38	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Christian Kane has his sister Marissa, Isabella Pazzini's got Ryan Mackenzie, Gary Gilray has a bunch of people in white masks...need I go on?
39	* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex: FFW? Check. SVW? Check.
40	* EveryoneIsBi: But YMMV. Kind of. Sorta. Not really.
41	* EvilLaugh: Kara and Undine, especially when they use acid. I imagine Aimee Easter, Christian Kane, and Gary Gilray.
42	* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Different wrestlers fall in and out of this trope at particular times. Robbyn Helmsley and Samara Steele run this.
43	* TheFettered: Wendy Briese.
44	* FieryRedhead: Scarlett Kincaid, Ignis, Valerie Lamb, Starla [=McCloud=], Jo [=McFarlane=], Casey Atherton, and more. Wendy Briese is an inversion.
45	* FromNobodyToNightmare: Quite a few people fall into this trope... It's always who you least expect.
46	** Rori Mackenzie/Snyder. She owns this trope.
47	** Gary Gilray but YMMV.
48	** Tara Thunder. From an in ring perspective. Nobody looks at being booked against her as anything but "Oh Shit."
49	** Starla [=McCloud=]. From good doctor to borderline Complete Monster.
50	** Caroline Dallins when she joined the Power Trip after being a geeky rookie on Future Shock. YMMV.
51	* GeniusDitz: Nikkii Spainhower...wrestling prodigy but lacking smarts in just about everything else.
52	* GoldDigger: Hayley Dark tries, but she does not succeed.
53	* GoombaStomp: Eileen Amaro and Jennifer Williams may likely fight over who gets to use this move someday. We're dead serious.
54	* HamToHamCombat: Jennifer Williams does this on a daily basis on Twitter against common sense.
55	** Then again, maybe that's a Williams/Hilton/Lopez trait? YMMV?
56	* IHaveManyNames: Whether it's last names (Isabella Morgan, Isabella Stryfe, Isabella Pazzini, and soon to be Isabella Mackenzie) or titles... (Camilla Pazzini & Lyn Dallins have a nickname for every season.)
57	* ItRunsInTheFamily The Williams Clan, The Mackenzies, The Kincaids, The Dallins, The Thunders, and the Leavenworths and I guess the Belmonts have to mentioned...begrudgingly.
58	* LargeHam: Where do we start?
59	** Where do we start? WHERE DO WE START? I'll tell you where we start... MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRR SHOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWTTTTTTTTTTIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
60	** Right. How could I forget? Also included are Nathan Thunder, Christian Kane, The Pazzinis, Pollaski, Eileen Amaro, Mai Hotaru and the list could go on and on.
61	** Stephanie Sanderson, Jennifer Williams, Todd Williams, Crystal Hilton-Williams...most of the characters in that social circle really.
62	* LoveHurts: So...so many.....
63	** Cara Stone's doomed love for Anders Stark.
64	** Isabella Pazzini felt this way when Ryan was still married to Stacey.
65	** How a lot of people are with Christian Kincaid. Tabatha Belmont, Emma MacNamara, and Kelly McGuffin have all shown signs that it hurts to have to share him.
66	** Kitty and Alexander Stryfe have experienced this trope a lot in their marriage.
67	** Colleen and Leander Apollo. Betrayal, lies, pain. It had it all.
68	** Camilla Pazzini being widowed by Jake Mackenzie.
69	** This trope goes on for days.
70	* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: Possibly the explanation for Sabra Nikolayev's skills (although being trained by [[OurGryphonsAreDifferent Gryphon]] might have helped with that too).
71	* ObfuscatingStupidity: It's very possible that The Scarborough Fair are this... They talk like a pair of valley girls and Mickey is especially stupid, yet just in time for important matches or promos the pair are as sharp as tacks at times.
72	%%* OurVampiresAreDifferent
73	* PerkyFemaleMinion: The Scarborough-Fair play this to Pollaski.
74	** Number Eighteen seems to play this to Gilray in her own way.
75	* ThePollyanna: Wendy Briese. So much so that 'Pollyanna' is Colleen's [[LampshadeHanging favorite nickname]] for Wendy.
76	* PowerStable: The Power Trip, The A-List, The Mackenzie Mafia, Club CK, LEGENDARY, Revolution X, and so on.
77	** The Power Trip for example...
78	*** The Centerpiece: Isabella Pazzini
79	*** The Manager: Samantha Star
80	*** The Heir Apparent: Kaitlynn Stryfe and Starla [=McCloud=] (Shane Sanders came close)
81	*** The Enforcer: Sabra and at one point Caroline Dallins
82	*** The Muscle: Tara Thunder and Emma MacNamara
83	*** The Hanger-On: Casey Atherton
84	** LEGENDARY!
85	*** The Centerpiece: Brad Jackson
86	*** The Enforcer: Luther Thunder and Undine
87	*** The Muscle: Ana
88	*** The Manager: Alexander Stryfe & Amy [[DualBoss interchangeably.]]
89	** The Mackenzie Mafia
90	*** The Centerpiece: Stacey
91	*** The Heir Apparent: Emma Mac and Eileen Amaro.
92	*** The Enforcer: ...Emma Mac and Eileen Amaro.
93	*** The Muscle: Cara Stone
94	*** The Manager: Ryan Mackenzie
95	* RaginCajun: Scarlett Kincaid IS this trope. Chase Dupree as well.
96	* RedBaron: Considering this is ProfessionalWrestling, there are examples out of the butt here here:
97	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam "The Red Comet"]] Leander Apollo
98	** [[AGodAmI "God of Thunder," "God of Wrath..."]]
99	** [[LivingLegend "The Living Legend"]] Camilla Pazzini
100	*** Might be argued by Brad Jackson, given how [[CallingTheOldManOut ancient he is.]]
101	** [[LegacyCharacter "The Legacy of Violence"]] Sabra Nikolayev
102	** [[TheVamp "The Beautiful Nightmare"]] Katherine Stryfe
103	** [[RailEnthusiast "Pain Train"]] Penny Buchanan
104	** [[TheUnfettered "Killer C"]] Caroline Dallins
105	** [[ElementalEmbodiment "The Hurricane," "The Tsunami," "The Firebird" (sorta counts)]]
106	* TheReveal: This is ProfessionalWrestling...plenty of examples:
107	** Miss Demeanor turning on Team SVW at [[GimmickMatches War Games]] at Conviction 2011.
108	** Emma Mac turning on the Mackenzie Mafia at [[GimmickMatches War Games]] at Sin & Sacrifice 2012.
109	** Anthony Gambini being put anywhere near a position of power.
110	*** Alexander Stryfe is too Legendary to not be included in this list.
111	* RichBitch: Where do we start? It was Angel Kash's nickname, The Pazzinis, Sarah Richardson, Robbyn Helmsley and of course Samara Steele.
112	* SealedBadAssInaCan: Miss Demeanor when she was brought back to beat up Samantha.
113	%%* ShipSinking: Anders Stark and Cara Stone.
114	%%* TheSocialDarwinist: Brad Jackson
115	* SouthernBelle: Played straight with Penny Buchanan. Absolutely deconstructed with Shane Sanders.
116	* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Inverted by both commentary teams in SVW and FFW.
117	* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Sophie Richards.
118	* WarriorPoet: Aimee Easter...albeit also a horrible person, but it still applies.
119	* WrestlingDoesntPay: How many wrestlers' own bars and Fortune 500 companies again?
