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. |
