3	[[https://www.deviantart.com/michangs/art/Tourist-Trap-Round-1-page-1-399790155 Tourist Trap OCT]] is a nonhuman-only {{Original Character Tournament}} on Website/DeviantArt. It is primarily set in an abandoned airstrip, though it seems the OCT may include several locations in the future. This airstrip is owned by Abel - a coyote man who can teleport anywhere in the world. He has offered to take one companion with him to a mythical land at the end of the Earth.

22	!! Tropes found in ''Tourist Trap'':
23
24	%%* AscendedToCarnivorism: Sun, during her audition.
25	* AliensSpeakingEnglish:
26	** Icarus and Neonriastal, though the latter isn't fluent.
27	** Ilium and Kel as well, although it's mentioned in Ilium's entry that Cal seems to have given him the ability to do so.
28	%%* ArtificialLimbs: Mother's got four of 'em.
29	%%* BatOutOfHell: Splendidly averted by Appa, who is arguably a RidiculouslyCuteCritter.
30	%%* TheCameo: Quite common in {{Original Character Tournament}}s.
31	* CastFromHitPoints: Ilium's blood magic.
32	%%* ClusterFBomb: Isi
33	%%* CombatPragmatist: Icarus and Sun are the most notable examples.
34	* CombatTentacles: Well, combat tendrils, but Ysmina has these.
35	* ColorCodedElements:
36	** Kel is mostly pale blue. [[AnIcePerson Take two guesses as to what his power is.]]
37	** Played with for Ilium, as his red markings are per WordOfGod only there to be cool decoration.
38	* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The ribbons on the suitcases in round one; opponents have matching ones.
39	* DancingIsSeriousBusiness: For Nihirri, anyway. Justified in that it is the source of his fame.
40	* DudeLooksLikeALady: Nihirri gets mistaken for female sometimes, particularly by Ilium, who doesn't know any better.
41	%%* TheDragon: Cal seems to be one to Abel
42	* EnemyMine: Neon and Icarus, who were originally opponents fighting to the death in an arena. They're not very fond of each other, to say the least.
43	* {{Expy}}: In Jack's audition, a character from one of the artist's [[WebOriginal/LostAndFoundOCT previous tournaments]] shows up.
44	* ExtremeOmnisexual: Icarus, dear god. His only requirement for his partners is that they be physically beautiful.
45	%%* TheFightingNarcissist: Icarus's character in a nutshell.
46	%%* FriendToAllChildren:
47	%%** Denim
48	%%** Also Natasha, despite her distrust of everyone else.
49	%%** Isi as well.
50	* GoodScarsEvilScars: Icarus sports a signature evil eye scar. Though he's less that he's strictly "evil" and more that he's TheFightingNarcissist.
51	* HearingVoices: Muffin can induce this for herself and other people, though it's not limited to voices - it can be any sound.
52	%%* HollywoodVoodoo: Neon practices this.
53	%%* AnIcePerson: Keltir
54	%%* IconicItem: Quite arguably Abel's suitcase.
55	* InstantCostumeChange: Abel whenever he appears in a new location, according to his ref. Though it's subverted as often as not, presumably because it's just easier to draw him in the outfit shown.
56	%%* {{Jerkass}}: You could easily make cases for both Nihirri and Icarus.
57	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Denim, who tends to be a cocky ass but genuinely wants the people around him to be happy.
58	%%* {{Kirin}}: Sun
59	%%* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Mother seems to suffer from this.
60	* LivingMoodRing: Ysmina's horns change colour depending on her mood. Her eyes also get darker when she's angry.
61	%%* LosingYourHead: Happens to Mother in Round One. She doesn't seem to be all that affected, however.
62	* MagicStaff: Neon wields a staff that can summon spirits.
63	* MixAndMatchCritter: Jack, a combination of a jackrabbit and a crow/jackdaw.
64	%%* MysteriousMercenaryPursuer: Dante to Ysmina, presumably.
65	* NeverMyFault: Sun is shaping up to be like this, seeing as she blames a sparrow she killed by accident for its own death.
66	* NobodyCanDie: For round one at least.
67	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname:
68	** Leilu. She prefers to be called Muffin. And really doesn't like it if you use her real name.
69	** Mother and Icky as well. Mother's real name is unknown.
70	* OnlyOneName: Most characters excluding Isi, Icarus, and Neon.
71	* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Ilium, who is wingless, scaleless and doesn't breathe fire. Justified in that he is an alien. Also Dante and Ysmina, who are furred and have "tendrils".
72	%%* PregnantBadass: Ysmina probably qualifies.
73	* {{Pride}}: The driving motivator for quite a few characters.
74	* ThePromisedLand: The entire premise of the OCT. Although just exactly what's promised is up to the competitors.
75	%%* RedOniBlueOni: You could make a case for Nihirri and Isi.
76	* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Largely subverted with Cal; most entries play him as no better, or worse, than Abel.
77	%%* RichBitch: Nihirri is a male version.
78	%%* ScarsAreForever: Icarus, though possibly justified as he fought in gladiator battles daily.
79	* ShapeShifting:
80	** Cassiopeia, though it's more like an illusion than anything else.
81	** Shale, Asis, and Rita can all switch between quad and anthro forms.
82	%%* SmugSmiler: Muffin
83	%%* TalkativeLoon: Abel is often portrayed as one.
84	* {{Telekinesis}}: Natasha is capable of this. She prefers not to use it, though.
85	* TeleporterAccident: One of these happens to Isi in Muffin's Round One. [[spoiler: It results in the loss of half of her arm.]]
86	* TrademarkFavoriteFood:
87	** Madeleine likes chicken nuggets, cucumbers with dip, and Skittles.
88	** Marcel is apparently addicted to Mountain Dew.
89	** Muffin loves peanut butter.
90	* TraintopBattle: Subverted in Icarus's Round Two entry, which only takes place inside (and outside) the train rather than on top of it for obvious reasons.
91	* VanityIsFeminine: Inverted with both Nihirri and Icarus; both males are FAR more vain than their female companions.
92	* VerbalTic: Koi cannot pronounce the letter h and replaces it with k.
93	%%* WackyParentSeriousChild: You could make a case for Mother and Icky, thought it's not entirely clear if they really ARE parent and child.
94	%%* WideEyedIdealist: Ninyo, very much so. Luckily he has Natasha to balance him out.
