Tropers / G Ri T Ho KS Ku LK

Describe the troper GRiTHoKSKuLK here.

...How about not?

(G Ri T Ho KS Ku LK is a procrastinator and will finish this later.)

Oh yeah. This guy's got tropes too. Here's a list of 'em, I guess:

• Brilliant, but Lazy (The embodiment of this trope.)
• Consummate Liar (Every other thing out of my mouth is bullshit. What's worse is that no one knows what is and what isn't.)
• Crosses the Line Twice (Half of the things he says. This isn't a bad thing, necessarily, as most of these jokes are simply a subversion of my actual, relatively open-minded self.)
• Deadpan Snarker
• Red Oni, Blue Oni (to most, if not all of my friends. I'm the blue.)
• Straight Gay
• Springtime for Hitler (Nice carrot.◊ I legitimately got extra credit points for drawing a carrot on a test in Freshman government class.)
  • (What's better is that I distinctly remember that I distinctly remember not studying.)
• Tsundere (Type A)
• WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes (Favorite movies? Bloody musicals. Worst fear? Take a wild guess.)

G Ri T Ho KS Ku LK is also writing a book in progress, known as Zephyr. Tropes associated with this work's characters, of which Mr. S Ku LK is relatively proud, include the following.

January Lewis Brine

The narrator of the story. Described as being objectionable (which is an Understatement), he is generally willing to lend a hand; that is, if the price is right. Uses a scythe and magic in battle, and is good friends with Aro and Mercades.

---

• All Up to You (Fails at this. Hard.)
• Anti-Hero (III, II at times.)
• Because I Said So
• Belligerent Sexual Tension (With Mercades.)
• Can't Live with Them, Can't Live Without Them (Mercades and Aro.)
• Dark and Troubled Past
• Deadpan Snarker
• Freudian Excuse (Subverted; while he has a pretty great childhood, between the ages of 12 and 16 life kinda sucks for him. He blames his misfortune on his father.)
• The Generic Guy (Relative.)
• Good Is Not Nice (Again, relative. It's debatable whether he's a "good" person or not, though, as quite a few of his actions catch a "What The Hell, Hero?" from Aro at times.)
• Heroes Want Redheads (Why he took in Aro in the first place)
• Heroic BSoD (A few.)
• I Have No Son! (Inverted.)
• It's Personal (January has a bone to pick with pretty much everyone.)
• Jerkass Woobie
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold
• Kick the Morality Pet (Poor Aro.)
• Meaningful Name
• Parental Substitute (He feels like he is this to Aro)
• The Resenter
• She Is Not My Girlfriend (Mercades.)
• White Sheep ( In a way. Charlie isn't a Complete Monster, and Dodger Tastes Like Diabetes.)

Ariandro Lawliet Burezzi

The subject of the story. Ariandro, or Aro, is a mystical being known as the Orloge that is born once every hundred years and is supposed to control everything about Tatsh, the world upon which this takes place. The Whitlock Group, however, wants the Orloge's power to power the DUET, an apocalypse death-ray, and so Aro has to be constantly on the move. He has taken up residence with January where he currently hides from the tenacious Whitlock Group.

---

• Aerith and Bob (Charlie, Reverie... Ariandro.)
• Angst Dissonance
• Achilles in His Tent
• Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence (What he was supposed to do.)
• Berserk Button (He has a few.)
• Big Good (An inactive one, but still essentially the main rebel against the Big Bad group.)
• Cloudcuckoolander
• Conspiracy Theorist
• Curtains Match the Window
• Hidden Depths (He loves soap operas.)
• Healing Factor
• {{He's Just Hiding}}
• It's All About Me (Justified, as he is essentially the god of Tatsh.)
• More than Meets the Eye (Inverted. People expect him to be a benevolent god. If you meet him, expect him to strike up a conversation with you about—of all things—soap operas.)
• {{ OOC Is Serious Business}}
• Red-Headed Hero (Subverted. He's the subject, not the hero.)
• Status Quo Is God
• Technicolor Eyes (Red)
• What the Hell, Hero? (To January, multiple times.)

Mercades Moira Margatroyde

A recurring character and one of the smartest people at the high school which January attends—Saint Margatroid's Academy. She and January used to date, but now they're Vitriolic Best Buds. She doesn't learn about Aro until about sixty pages in, but afterward, becomes part of January's group, for better or for worse.

---

• Alliterative Name
• As Long as There Is One Man
• Belligerent Sexual Tension (With January)
• Berserk Button (Do not talk about her future in a social sense.)
• Deadpan Snarker
• Heroic Sacrifice (Complete with a few Crowning Moments at the end of her soliloquy:)
  Mercades: "I don't want to follow in your footsteps, January. Never did. Because, quite frankly, you walk into walls."
• Ineffectual Loner
• Insufferable Genius
• Little Miss Snarker
• Minored In Ass Kicking (She is explicitly stated as one of the strongest Elementalists that January knows. We don't see this for a while.)
• Meaningful Name
• The Penance (Inverted. After going too far with |Reverie|, Mercades |takes off her ribbons, saying that they "compressed her feelings."
  Mercades: "They... They were a crutch of mine, January. I felt that if other people could read me easily, it would make my life that much easier. But if I want to relate, if I don't want to go as far as I did with her that time, then I have to cut my emotional crutch off. I have to learn to express... it's the only way I can learn to forgive myself and become a person, and not a mound of life."
• Screw the Rules, I Have Money!
  • Rich Bitch
• Smug Snake
• Super Window Jump ( Trying to save January in the Moonlight Inn, Mercades attempts to jump through a window. It fails. Miserably.)
• The Smart Guy
• Teen Genius
• Token Evil Teammate (In the arc during which Aro goes missing, she subverts this.)
• Tsundere (Type A.)
