6 | I first came across this site back in 2009, but it was a bit messy back then and I lost interest a few months later. After being away for years, I slowly got back into reading the articles sometime in late 2015, but I didn't officially become a troper until January 21st, 2018. |
7 | |
8 | I'm interested in video games and would love to make one myself someday. I also have some interest in writing and completed a short novel in 2013, ''Literature/TheArmadilloWithNoHeart''. |
9 | |
10 | Here on the wiki, you'll mostly see me on the Forum Games board, but I'm pretty quiet for the most part. There isn't much I can contribute to the articles right now, but I probably will as future things that interest me are released. |
11 | |
12 | [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15322144740A18591800&page=1#5 According to]] Tropers/{{DrNoPuma}}, the three characters that best describe me are [[VideoGame/YookaLaylee Yooka]], [[VideoGame/WarioWare 9-Volt]], and [[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor Koops]]. Puma has also chosen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxiHrO5jz0U the Shipwreck Creek theme]] from ''VideoGame/YookaLaylee'' as my {{Leitmotif}}. :D |
13 | |
14 | I'm currently participating in several forum roleplays (listed below), and I'm having a lot of fun with all of them! |

63 | ** ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'' |
64 | * Theatre: |
65 | ** ''Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' |
66 | * Video Games: |
67 | ** ''Franchise/AceAttorney'': I especially like ''[[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyJusticeForAll Justice For All]]'', ''[[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies Dual Destinies]]'' and ''[[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice Spirit of Justice]]'' out of the mainline games, but I think ''VisualNovel/TheGreatAceAttorney'' is now my favorite game in the series. |
68 | ** ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'': A very relaxing series. |
69 | ** ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'': A huge childhood favorite of mine, with one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. |
70 | ** ''VideoGame/BugFables'': A fantastic RPG that perfectly recreates the charm of the older ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' games while having many great ideas of its own. |
71 | ** ''VideoGame/CaveStory'' |
72 | ** ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' |
73 | ** ''VideoGame/DayOfTheTentacle'' |
74 | ** ''VideoGame/DillonsRollingWestern'': Because armadillos. Also the game is quite fun. And ''hard''. I hadn't even heard of the TowerDefense genre before I played it. RIP Vanpool; I'll miss this series. |
75 | ** ''VideoGame/{{Earthbound}}'' |
76 | ** ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'': My favorites are ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV IV]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI VI]]''. |
77 | ** ''VideoGame/IllusionOfGaia'' |
78 | ** ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' |
79 | ** ''VideoGame/LaterAlligator'': Pat is best boy. That is all. |
80 | ** ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': Especially ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]''. |
81 | ** ''VideoGame/LiveALive'' |
82 | ** ''VideoGame/{{Lufia}}'': Mostly the [[VideoGame/LufiaIIRiseOfTheSinistrals second game]]. |
83 | ** ''Franchise/MegaMan'': My favorite games in the series are ''VideoGame/MegaManX1'' and ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork 2'' and ''3''. |
84 | ** ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' |
85 | ** ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': Proud fan since the 1990s. All generations are great, but I'd say that my favorites are ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Ruby & Sapphire]]'', ''[[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Black & White]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Sun & Moon]]''. I also like a lot of the spinoff games. |
86 | ** ''VideoGame/RivalsOfAether'' |
87 | ** ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'' |
88 | ** ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': I love the characters, and it's a lot of fun to [[WaxingLyrical roll around the stages at the speed of sound]]. |
89 | ** ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': Pretty much the whole series, especially the following: |
90 | *** ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi'': I've played all of them except ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPaperJam Paper Jam]]''. My favorite is ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga Superstar Saga]]''. |
91 | *** ''VideoGame/PaperMario'': Absolutely loved the first three games; ''[[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor The Thousand-Year Door]]'' in particular will always hold a special place in my heart, while ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'' had my favorite story of any Mario game. ''[[VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar Sticker Star]]'' was disappointing, though it's by no means bad and I do like its soundtrack a lot. I haven't played ''[[VideoGame/PaperMarioColorSplash Color Splash]]'' yet, but ''[[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheOrigamiKing The Origami King]]'' was fantastic and has renewed my hopes for the future of the series. |
92 | *** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'' |
93 | *** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland'': My favorite 2D platformer of all time. |
94 | ** ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' |
95 | ** ''VideoGame/TinkerQuarry'': Thanks for introducing me to this game, Puma! |
96 | ** ''VideoGame/TrialsOfMana'': I was really happy when this game was ''finally'' localized in 2019. I'm planning to play the remake soon. I also love ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana'' and ''VideoGame/LegendOfMana''. |
97 | ** ''VideoGame/YookaLaylee'': An amazing and underrated game that's just as good as ''Banjo-Kazooie''. Its soundtrack is also fantastic. |
98 | * Other: |
99 | ** ''UsefulNotes/RPGMaker'': I've played around with it a lot since I was a kid, but I've never actually made a complete game. Maybe someday. |
100 | |
101 | !Favorite tropes |
102 | * AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: Always a great background for a final battle. |
103 | * AutobotsRockOut |
104 | * BackgroundMusicOverride |
105 | * BadassCape: Do I even need to explain why? |
106 | * BaitAndSwitchComparison: It's funny. :P |
107 | * BlackComedy: I do admit that it can be awful when taken too far, though. |
108 | * CoolMask: Pretty much for the same reason as BadassCape. |
109 | * CowardlyLion: Still one of the best ways to make a flawed hero, IMO, especially when they're given the opportunity to develop. |
110 | * DarkIsNotEvil |
111 | * DefangedHorrors: Although I don't like actual horror, I love this. |
112 | * DefeatMeansFriendship |
113 | * FingerlessGloves: They look cool. |
114 | * FunnyAnimal: And anthropomorphic animals in general. I love this kind of character design. |
115 | * FurryReminder |
116 | * GentleGiant: One of the most lovable character archetypes out there. |
117 | * HeelFaceTurn |
118 | * HeroicSacrifice: This really gets me when done well. Sacrificing yourself so others can be happy is one of the most noble things a character can do. |
119 | * INeverSaidItWasPoison: A great mystery trope. |
120 | * InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons / OurDragonsAreDifferent: Who doesn't love dragons? |
121 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold |
122 | * LovableLizard: I really like lizards, and it's always nice to see positive depictions of them. |
123 | * MagicKnight: Knights and mages are both cool, so combining the two is doubly cool. |
124 | * OminousPipeOrgan: One of the many things that Puma and I both love. [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Dancing Mad]] is probably my favorite use of it. |
125 | * SnowySleighBells: I love their sound. |
126 | * SoBadItsGood: One of my favorite kinds of humor, whether it's done [[StylisticSuck intentionally]] or not. |
127 | * WhamLine: At least when I don't get spoiled about them beforehand... |
128 | * WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: It's always heartwarming to see what the characters have been up to after the story. |
129 | * TheWoobie: Possibly my all-time favorite trope. While I'll sympathize with nearly every character at least a little bit, it's rare for me to actually consider a character a Woobie. But when this trope works, it ''really'' works. |
130 | * {{Woolseyism}}: The ''Ace Attorney'' and ''Paper Mario'' series are prime examples of how good this trope can be. |
131 | !Tropes that apply to me: |
132 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest in my family. I'm not too fond of [[JustAKid all]] [[SpoiledBrat the]] [[MamasBoy negative]] [[ItsAllAboutMe stereotypes]] [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling associated]] with it. |
133 | * BerserkButton: If I see you being mean to Tropers/{{DrNoPuma}}, I will get ''very'' mad. |
134 | * BigEater: I have a huge appetite. I've been trying my best to control it lately, though. |
135 | * BlindWithoutEm: My eyesight is pretty bad without my glasses. |
136 | * EyesAlwaysAverted: I've always had a lot of trouble making eye contact. |
137 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: Mostly phlegmatic (quiet, shy, and usually calm). When I was younger, I leaned more towards melancholic (more serious, moody, and prone to anxiety), but I've mellowed out. |
138 | * IHatePastMe: I was a rather cynical teenager with a low opinion of humanity, even though I lacked the brains or maturity to have an educated opinion on the subject. I can't express how happy I am to have put all that behind me. |
139 | * NeatFreak: Yep. I like having things in order. :P |
140 | * NervousWreck: I tend to get anxious easily, though this has gotten a bit better in the past few years. |
141 | * NoSocialSkills: I've always been like this. A lot of the time, I feel uncomfortable talking to people and don't really know how to have a conversation. I'm a lot more sociable here than I am in real life. |
142 | * {{Pacifist}}: Fighting is rarely worth it, so I try to avoid it. |
143 | * TheQuietOne: I don't talk very much, especially in real life. |
144 | * ShrinkingViolet: It might not show a lot on here, but in real life, I'm extremely shy and have trouble opening up to people. |
145 | * SweetTooth: I love all kinds of sweets. |
146 | |

221 | * I'm a Capricorn. |

223 | * Victor was the name I originally planned to use for my Sandshrew character if/when I joined ''Roleplay/WeHaveAllBecomePokemon''. However, since I joined ''Roleplay/WeAreAllPiratesRevenge'' first (and, at the time, I wasn't yet sure if I would join WHABP), I used the name for my character there instead. |
