Karasu 91 / Tropers

Please allow me to introduce myself / I'm a man of wealth and taste...

As often happens with Real Life people, karasu91^note isn't easy to sum up in a few words. He's a twentysomething young lad from Belgium who's something of a dreamer. Although he's from Belgium, his parents are from Latin America, he went to a German-speaking school as a kid only to switch to a french-speaking one later on, learning Dutch and English along the way and ended up studying in Austria.

Has a deep love of music, books, TV, paintings, japanese culture and random pop culture.

Makes regular contributions to Doctor Who recap pages, the Music and Live Action TV forums and adds the occasional comment or note if he finds another example for an article.

Was among other things Entry Pimp for Eva Green and Learning To Lie, and wrote the original page for The Fades.

TV Tropes ruined his life.

This Troper provides examples of:

A Man Is Not A Virgin: one of his personal Berserk Buttons.
Accidental Innuendo: A freakin' Grandmaster.
Adjusting Your Glasses: By pushing up the corners with thumb and middlefinger.
Adult Child
Ambiguous Innocence
Apologises a Lot
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!
Berserk Button: Double standards, Rape as Comedy, Cringe Comedy, general lack of decency and unwanted Spoilers.
Beware the Nice Ones
Bookworm
- Cute Bookworm
Brilliant, but Lazy: up to Ridiculous Procrastinator levels.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer
Cannot Convey Sarcasm: not online, at least.
Character Alignment: Started out Lawful Good-wannabe, although events often put him more towards Lawful Stupid. Nowadays more of a Neutral Good.
Cavalier Competitor: with a hint of Friendly Rivalry
Chronic Hero Syndrome
Cloud Cuckoolander: Guy starts ten sentences without finishing one, on topics not in the slightest related to whatever's being discussed.
Covert Pervert / Chivalrous Pervert
Contemplate Our Navels
Conversational Troping: TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary indeed.
Cunning Linguist: Speaks five languages.
Deadpan Snarker
Double Consciousness
Fleeting Passionate Hobbies: He plays the violin, writes, draws, paints, sings, plays D&D, and a lot more. Or he would if he'd actually give himself the time to practise.
Geeky Turn-On: one of the best ways to get his attention.
Got Me Doing It: Picks up at least a third of his lines and habits from friends, books and movies. He doesn't notice until it's too late.
100% Completion: He's a perfectionist. And he's lazy. When in college, not the best combination.
The Idealist: At first. Growing up led him to wander more on the cynical side of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism, even though the idealism remains dominant.
Intelligence Equals Isolation: As a kid. Wanting to acheive the transition to Gentleman and a Scholar motivated most of his teen years. He's not quite there yet.
It's All About Me: When it happens, it's in friggin' spades. And he's aware of it.
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Is a fierce advocate of this trope.
Just Friends: Sincerely believes this to be possible, and has this relationship with many.
The Klutz: Used to be that way big time. He got better
Lantern Jaw of Justice: A minor one, but it's there, all right.
Lethal Chef: Then came college, and he got better.
Lovable Nerd / Nerds Are Sexy - YMMV
Mood-Swinger: Can be cheery one minute, half depressed the next, for no particular reason. Go figure.
Motor Mouth
Mr. Imagination
Mr. Vice Guy: Sloth^noteand Lust. Maybe.
Must Have Caffeine: Or in this case, Club Mate
Nakama: About any person he befriends gets into his.
Narm: A lot of his Contemplate Our Navels and Wangst comes off as this. Including to him.
Nice Hat: Has taken to wearing one.
Noble Bigot / Troubled Sympathetic Bigot: Used to be that way regardings things LGBT. He seems to be getting better, and spends a lot of time trying to be The Atoner.
Not a Morning Person
Oblivious to Love
One Of Us: Umm... yeah.
The Philosopher
Proud to Be a Geek: Even though it is only an aspect of his personality, it's one he thouroughly enjoys.
Raised Catholic
Self-Deprecation
Serial Tweaker: Dear Lord...
Serious Business: Everything he does is this to him, from school to Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards.
Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness : Boy, does he like to use these big words. Often ends up in Metaphorgotten or, depending on the circumstances, Sophisticated as Hell.
Sleepyhead
Socially Awkward Hero
Stoic Spectacles
Talkative Loon
Tall, Dark, and Handsome. Not that it does him any good.
That Came Out Wrong: Well, goes with the Accidental Innuendo
Technical Pacifist
Wall of Text: Whenever he writes something. Often combined with Purple Prose, which he seems to be growing out of.
Undying Loyalty
What the Hell Is That Accent?: Having taught himself English using Hollywood productions, TV shows, BBC and Harry Potter, his vocabulary and pronunciation are a fun mix of British and American English.
YMMV
Younger Than They Look
