16 | !! ''Griefer Belt'' provides examples of the following tropes: |
17 | |
18 | * AffablyEvil: Scott and Addie are pretty chill people. Almost makes you forget that they're both full-time employees of a black market company and regularly kill people. |
19 | * BadGuyBar: The bar the gang goes to in chapter one. Based on the fact the guys running it have beef with Lars, and the [[CrapsackWorld general state of the world]], it's likely they're no saints either. |
20 | %%* CastFullOfGay -ZCE |
21 | * CovertGroupWithMundaneFront: The Belt uses a thrift shop as its front. Word of God states that's how they get rid of items they "[[RobbingTheDead find on the job]]". |
22 | * CrapsackWorld: There's a lot of contract killing and organ harvesting going on. |
23 | * CreatorCameo: The creator, along with their friends, friends' {{Original Character}}s, and Patreon backers, often appear as extras and crowd fillers. |
24 | * ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow: Lars and Scott in chapter 2. |
25 | * FateWorseThanDeath: At one point, Lars knocks out one of their marks and aims to butcher him alive for a cannibal customer, noting that it's good that their mark's pulse is calm since "the meat is better on the palate when he's not scared". Considering that Lars makes a point of telling Scott that the neighbors are out before they begin, he's probably not expecting their victim to stay unconscious the whole way through. |
26 | * TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: The Belt is a family business, run by the Van Allans. |
27 | * {{Gayngster}}: Only Lars and Scott confirmed so far, but the comic sells itself as [[CastFullOfGay being about queer criminals]], so there will likely be many more. |
28 | * {{Guyliner}}: All part of the uniform, apparently. |
29 | * IAmAHumanitarian: Mr. Cowen, the Belt's best customer. |
30 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: At the start of chapter 2, Lars and Scott free a hostage they didn't know would be there. Lars does tell her to send a tip afterwards (the hostage's father is stated to be a mob boss). |
31 | * OrganTheft: The Belt's primary source of income. |
32 | * ProfessionalKiller: The Griefers working for The Belt get their money by taking hits and selling organs. More than likely, others in the same field will probably show up. |
33 | * PunchClockVillain: Scott and Addie don't seem to share Lars' enthusiasm for murder, but they'll still do it. |
34 | * SliceOfLife: What the comic is advertised as, albeit with people involved in black market details. |
35 | * VillainProtagonist: The employees of The Belt -- [[PowerTrio Lars, Scott, and Addie]] -- are our "heroes" in the story. They make black market deals for a living. |
