Line #46 Tropers/CaellachTigerEye


1	Tropers/CaellachTigerEye, who sometimes refers to himself as "CTE" for short (other names/nicknames may vary among individuals) was born in 1990, during the monthly timezone which makes him a Virgo (the old one, that is, the new one, he believes, can go and be a pathetic weakling).

7	That said, I've been frequenting TvTropes for a while now, as an aspiring future writer who loves these little looksies into the arts.

9	Big fan of many fictional mediums, most notably Anime, Literature and Video Games.
10
11	Tropes which I'm personally fond of include (adding more as I think them up):
12
13	* ActionGirl: And LadyOfWar ''and'' CuteBruiser. Mind you, I like girls who can ''think'' as well.
14	* AffablyEvil
15	* AlasPoorVillain[=/=]AlasPoorScrappy
16	* AntiVillain
17	* AnyoneCanDie: ... To a certain extent. I'm not a fan when it turns DownerEnding.
18	* BeautyEqualsGoodness: ''Not''! I prefer when it's experimented with, rather than played straight.
19	* BirdsOfAFeather
20	* BlueAndOrangeMorality
21	* CerebusSyndrome & KnightOfCerebus: Executed right, it makes for an exceptionally effective change in tone - the reverse isn't a bad idea either.
22	* CharacterAlignment: One of the ''best'' things the D&D franchise ever gave us/popularised. Pity it's always deleted when editing.
23	* CharacterDevelopment
24	* CompleteMonster: While I mostly prefer complex antagonists with sympathetic or understandable motives, sometimes you ''need'' these guys, either to spice the story up or for variety, or perhaps for plot-related drama - and they can even be well-written characters to boot, which is when ''I'' go {{Squee}}! (OK, not ''really'', but still...)
25	* {{Deconstruction}}: Followed by, at times...
26	** {{Reconstruction}}
27	* DiscOneFinalBoss: Especially if done ''without'' making it predictable - among other things, FinalFantasyVII ''subverting'' it mid-way was actually one of the most impressive turnabouts in gaming history (both with story and drama).
28	* EarnYourHappyEnding
29	* EqualOpportunityEvil: Mind you, since I generally prefer sympathetic villains, this isn't so straightforward as it sounds.
30	* FiveBadBand: Having just one or two antagonists bores me to death at times - there's no variety, no flavour. It's very interesting to see these guys as Foils to the FiveManBand, or to see them having various relations with each other throughout the story. Ties in with my fondness for GreyAndGrayMorality.
31	* FiveManBand: Though in ''my'' case it would probably end up being a "Dozen Man Band" when I finally get 'round to writing and publishing my works...
32	* GenreSavvy
33	* GoodIsNotNice
34	* GreyAndGrayMorality
35	* GuileHero
36	* HiddenDepths
37	* HumansAreFlawed: So. Very. ''Much.'' In my opinion, this trope should be displayed in a museum - literally. And with emphasis on the ''positive'' elements.
38	* HumbleHero
39	* InterspeciesRomance -> HalfHumanHybrid: It's at times done to death, but sometimes people can do it well. I'm only opposed when it implies how great it means to be human/humanoid (which isn't ''that'' often, thankfully).
40	* KnightInSourArmour
41	* {{Kuudere}}: Gods, ''yes''. You can hold me at gunpoint until I call it SugarAndIcePersonality, but you'll have to shoot me before my heart and soul change.
42	* LoadsAndLoadsOfRaces: My in-progress novel actually has a bit of this, with members of the non-humanoid species even being major characters in their own right... when I finally get it going, that is. However...
43	** ... This time, there's no humans-with-non-humanoid-races interbreeding. For once in all of ''Creation''! YAY!!
44	*** ... ... Well, that is to say, it's because they can't just be biologically ''compatible'' - if I did that, then to prevent HumansAreSpecial I'd have to make said non-humanoids breed with ''different'' non-humanoids, and ''that'' would make the story a little bit messy... Phew!
45	* MagnificentBastard
46	* {{Nakama}}[=/=]TrueCompanions: Though I like the Japanese title for this one, the new English one works ''beautifully'', too (better than [[RantInducingSlight the above Dere-based one]], anyway...)
47	* OppositesAttract
48	* PowerTrio
49	* QuirkyMinibossSquad
50	* RedOniBlueOni
51	* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: An ''immensely'' gratifying phenomenon, when it happens. That's all that need be said, really.
52	* RotatingArcs
53	* RousseauWasRight: Ties in with HumansAreFlawed, to an extent - we might not be capable of ''complete'' goodness, but the idea that we ''have'' it despite (or maybe because of) our flaws is a beautiful one, indeed.
54	* SamaritanSyndrome
55	* ScarsAreForever
56	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Not played ''too'' straight, though - meddling with character traits and tics makes it ''much'' more fun. Same deal with TomboyAndGirlyGirl.
57	* ShootTheDog
58	* SpannerInTheWorks
59	* SympatheticPOV
60	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Time was, the former was all I could write. Now that I'm older, playing with it to various degrees is a ''shitload'' of fun - people aren't divisible into such categories in real life, why should fiction be so different?
61	* {{Tsundere}}
62	* WellIntentionedExtremist
63	* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Well, I'm not really a humanist, and I reckon non-humanoids deserve starring roles/acts of heroism as well. Then there's the ArtificialHuman trope...
