Relevant Tropes
- Anti-Hero: Because he tries to do what he thinks is right and is not always liked for it despite the outcome, he seems like a very negative person. Sometimes he even...
- Brutal Honesty
- Deadpan Snarker: Since he errs on the side of logic most of the time, this peeks out every so often.
- Chivalrous Pervert: Has a tendency to share perverted thoughts with his female friends (usually in stealthy non-obvious ways unless he gets to know them better). But then again, All Men Are Perverts.
- Closer to Earth: Tries to be nice and friendly with everyone, but because of his emotional needs, usually ends up talking more with women.
- Control Freak: Nigh-perfectionistic in nature. One thing out of line and the world may end!
- Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Goes hand-in-hand with his cynical attitude. Still, he tries to believe in the inherent good in humans. Everyone deserves at least a second chance.
- Emotions vs. Stoicism: Stoic. And how!
- Gender Is No Object: Believes that both genders are capable. He possesses many feminine attributes and subsequently represents proof of this himself.
- Character as Himself: Taken literally. He never lies about who he is, because he doesn't believe in hiding behind a masquerade.
- Genre Savvy: Very aware of his surroundings and what goes on around him, to the point where he can finish other peoples' sentences or fill in a word they cannot find to complete a thought or sentence. He's also relatively good at reading how others will react in certain situations (particularly in regards to issues involving himself), but this may be more along the lines of how he often hates being right about bad things.
- Kuudere: Underneath the serious, cold layers is a warm, caring friend who loves to make people laugh once he gets to know them.
- Lawful Good / Chaotic Neutral / For the Lulz / For the Evulz: Depends on his current mood.

- Only Sane Man: Sometimes too sane.
- Just For Pun: Uses too many plays on words in friendly conversation to count, for better or for worse.
- Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!: Tends to doubt the idealistic views of others, but will gladly admit to being wrong should idealistic methods and mindsets prevail.
- Supreme Chef: Not half bad in the kitchen, more or less. Wants to spend more time there, especially with his girlfriend.
- Team Dad: Usually watches out for groups of people he feels attached/belongs to. Or just the general public in crowded areas. Sadly, he's likely watching out for himself moreso than for the sake of others.
- The Determinator: Very difficult to dissuade at times, particularly when he sees logic on his side.
- The Obi-Wan: Tends to take people under his wing in some way, but only if he thinks they're worth his time. Which to him, is not many people at all.
