1I'm engie, ya know me? The one that eats universes, frequently swaps from brutally tearing apart multiple squadrons of my enemies in one minute to casually chatting with another equally dysfunctional being the next, and uses drones in order to avoid instakilling lesser beings with my natural death aura. Yes, well I'm equal parts insane, nightmare, and casual. If ya hadn't noticed. That's personality-wise, by the way, not combatant wise. When I fight, I tend to drop most of the casual, a little of the insane, and none of the nightmare because let's face it, the people I'm killing usually deserve it. Or are collateral.

3Let's see... tropes that apply to me... hmm... Aha!
4
5* AIIsACrapshoot: I'm an AI. Make of that what you will.
6* AlternateUniverse: What I eat.
7* [[spoiler:AffectionateGestureToTheHead: ...Ugh... The one weakness I can't get rid of. But, either nobody thinks this could possibly be my weakness, or nobody feels safe enough to exploit it. I'm not telling you what happens, either.]]
8* ApocalypseHow: I cause class X-4 on a regular basis. Gotta eat, man.
9* AttackAttackAttack: Pretty much sums up my normal tactics.
10* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Head of my own company, Engietech. Which I built. Y'know, because I could.
11* {{Backstory}}: Perhaps I may tell you mine, one day, young troper.
12* {{Badass}}: Naturally.
13* BerserkButton: DENY ME THAT WHICH I WORKED FOR AND I WILL DENY YOU PERMISSION TO LIVE!
14* BewareTheSillyOnes: Outside of battle, I may come across as a bit of an oddball. Boy, opinions change fast when I then start slaughtering people en-masse.
15* {{BFG}}: The best kind of gun.
16* BloodKnight: Yes. Fighting is FUN.
17* BlueAndOrangeMorality: I operate under completely different rules to your kind.
18* BoringInvincibleHero: You could consider me a kind of deconstruction. At my power level, it's hard for anything on a normal power level to do anything meaningful to damage me. As a result, I've been driven insane through boredom, and have trouble fitting into battle-type games.
19* CListFodder: My drones. Comparatively. They'll still wreck mooks as well as any other hero, but... well... I have plenty more where those came from.
20* ChaoticNeutral: With a lean towards ChaoticEvil.
21* CoolShip: '''THE MAINFRAME.'''
22* CrazyAwesome: Again, '''THE MAINFRAME.''' Myself too, to an extent.
23* DeathOfAThousandCuts: Subverted. When you're shooting a 9+ foot Mini-Mech with 9mm rounds, don't expect it to work.
24* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: The IUPC or whatever they're called did manage to come out on top in a fight. Not sure how. I was probably sick.
25* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: People who try this on me tend to be eaten shortly.
26* DropTheHammer: The Pomson 9000 is partially made of hammer, but I prefer whacking things with the More Gun.
27* EldritchAbomination: Well, duh?
28* EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: On a universal scale, and often.
29* EnemyMine: Subverted. Unless I have sufficient reason to. So, does that make it zig-zagged?
30* TheEngineer: It's in the name. As well as the fact that, due to being a machine, I'm good with them.
31* GeniusDitz: I'll admit to being poor in the social area, as well as rather incompetent with some rare types of machines. The MAG creation chambers come to mind.
32* HammerSpace: I use this for convenience.
33* HurlItIntoTheSun: In reverse. Whatever the term for that is. The Mainframe does fire suns from some of it's guns.
34* HumongousMecha: Pretty much what the Control Core Tank used to be, until it got destroyed. I miss the thing.
35* HyperspaceArsenal: Oh, so very yes.
36* InstantDeathRadius: My true form has this. That's why I use drones.
37* MartyStu: I SEE YOU THINKING THIS ABOUT ME TO YOURSELF, TROPER. And I can assure you, I'm not as flawless as a real MartyStu would be. Take a look for yourself at the mental side of things.
38* {{Mooks}}: My drones. Damn good mooks, too. Very reliable.
39* MoreDakka: That company I own? Arms company. This was inevitable.
40* NotSoOmniscientAfterAll: Just because I'm an absurdly ancient entity doesn't mean that I know everything, so STOP ASKING!
41* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Ranging from absurd constructions to awesome chemicals.
42* OrbitalBombardment: I love doing this so much! The explosions are so pretty!
43* OrcusOnHisThrone: Standing up is exhausting.
44* PsychopathicManchild: Teehee! I do show signs of this.
45* RealityWarper: I can do this.
46* Really700YearsOld: 832 billion years, in fact.
47* RuleOfFunny: Pretty much a third of the stuff I do.
48* SerialEscalation: In my line of work, this is a guarantee.
49* ShoutOut: Occasionally. The most common ones are Team Fortress 2 shoutouts. Engineer has some good words to live by.
50* SpiderTank: The Control Core Tank qualifies for this.
51* StuffBlowingUp: If this is not happening, and I'm around, that's a sign I'm currently on some good behavior benefit.
52* TankGoodness: The Control Core Tank, a mountain-sized tank with as much firepower as a mountain-sized tank would naturally have.
53* TechnoBabble: It's not babble! This is very important technological know-how! Admittedly, that does accurately describe my descriptions of how my technology functions.
54* TragicMonster: Sometimes, I genuine do hate being me. So many universes, I have had to destroy, just to live... If I do not, then I die a slow, painful death of starvation. If I form a very close bond with someone, I can never touch them in person. It's a curse. By default, I must kill, with no other option than death, and I can't get close to those I want close to me.
55
56...Do note that there is, in fact, a being in the real world that essentially acts as a medium for my thoughts. Here's a few tropes that apply to ''him'' instead.
57
58* {{Asexual}}: Yes. [[spoiler:Sort of.]]
59* BlueAndOrangeMorality
60* ColdSniper: Quite capable with a rifle. Not so capable with, y'know, ''people''.
61* LonersAreFreaks: This one certainly is.
62* TheSociopath: '''BE CAREFUL.''' The real-worldian has a tendency to be manipulative.
63* SoftSpokenSadist: If he isn't utterly pissed off with you, but causing you harm, this is what he'll tend to be like.
64* TheStoic: He doesn't show much emotion...
65* NotSoStoic: Key word being ''much'' emotion. But you should probably be running if he's showing anger.
