I, Kytseo, (real name: Edward, sometimes known as DarklordKyo) am a troper from Miami, Florida. I'm basically an average joe, so see my tropes for info on me.
This troper provides examples of the following tropes:
- Adorkable: I've been told I tend to be this from time to time.
- Adult Child
- The Alcoholic: not really, but I delve into the sauce from time to time.
- Ambiguous Disorder: Related to the above Adult Child trope. I tend to be pretty immature sometimes, and some asked me if I'm autistic (hell, i've been asking myself that for a while now).
- American Accents: I've noticed that I sometimes have a bit of a southern drawl (imagine having shades of a typical cowboy accent, but not much of the terminology).
- I've also taken to pronouncing orange as ahnj.
- Arc Number: I tend to do things in evens, so the number 2 (& any multiples thereof).
- Author Appeal: The two story ideas I have in my head deconstruct morality to differing degrees, one having a combination between Gray-and-Gray Morality & White and Gray Morality, and the other having Gray-and-Gray Morality & Black-and-Gray Morality.
- 11th-Hour Superpower: It's one of my favorite tropes.
- Final-Exam Boss: My favorite boss type, I just like it when bosses test all the knowledge you gained from a game. For that reason (and the general epicness of it), I will always cite the Grunthilda fight at the end of Banjo-Kazooie as one of the greatest final bosses ever (despite it's disappointing easiness).
- Postmodernism: If it's done well (and I'm having a sudden moment of not being completely retarded), I tend to enjoy postmodern fiction.
- Platform Game: My favorite video game genre
- Role-Playing Game/Hack and Slash: The ones tying for my second favorite spot [with the latter specifically referring to Spectacle Fighter-styled Hack and Slash titles (Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, etc.)]
- Metroidvania: My specific favorite type of platformer.
- Awesomeness by Analysis: I can be pretty observant at times. For example, while some have trouble with the snake boss of Magicka, I had a relatively easy time with it knowing that the pure lightning spell homes onto it's weakpoint (the head). I'm apparently also the only gamer in my anime club who knew about the Wiimote's One Time Sync feature (temporarily syncing to another wii) and the sensor bar option (designating whether it's below or above the tv) before telling my friend Adam about them (despite the former being perfectly spelled out in the owner's manual, and the latter being stumbled upon by dicking around with the options).
- Badass Baritone: My voice can get pretty damn deep.
- Badass Jacket: The blue and orange windbreaker I wear almost every day.
- Badass Normal: I tend to be this as far as competitive gaming goes in my anime club. I don't really train much, but...well...see Jack of All Stats below.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: I've been accused of being this, both in gaming and real life.
- Bare-Fisted Monk: Wouldn't really call myself a master, but I practiced Tae Kwon Do in my childhood, and I currently practice Northern Shaolin and Wing Chun.
- Battle Cry: SHA-KAH-THAN! (with the last part rhyming with khan)
- CHECKMATE!
- Big Eater
- Big Fun: I always want things to be awesome whenever I can do so.
- Bishōnen: Not me, but my old Wo W main is a blood elf.
- Bi The Way: or a Camp Straight who's a bit bicurious, I don't know
- Boring, but Practical Stonewall: My preferred playstyle in Elder Scrolls titles (spawned from my Oblivion character), which is based on my old Wo W main (specifically his second specialization, Protection).
- Brainy Brunette: A lot of people claim I am, I'm not so sure about that personally.
- Broken Aesop: One of my Discrete Math tutors stresses that pure memorization will get me nowhere in the course. That said, one of my classmates has around a B-C average through just memorizing everything.
- But Not Too Foreign: I was born in the United States, but my dad's a Columbian and my mom's from South Korea.
- Byronic Hero: Somewhat, except that I'm not charismatic, nor am I pretty.
- Card-Carrying Villain: Taken to the most literal extreme, with my business card (not a real one, just an index card dressed up like one) saying evil. In a less literal light, one of my catchphrases used to be "because I'm evil."
- Catchphrase: What IS normal?
- ___, ___, and more ___, with a side of ___ (with ___ being something in surplus in something, like a cheese pizza with a lot of cheese)
- "Okay, let us see here..."
- Convenience
- Define ___ (my way of saying "elaborate please")
- [*gives a short summary of the plot of what I'm talking about*], that said, are you a bad enough dude to [*insert goal protagonist is trying to achieve here*] (how I summarize games, choose-your-own-adventure novels, anything with a player or outside viewer as the protagonist)
- __ on steroids {how I define a better version of something [like the Technology 2 item in The Binding Of Isaac being, more or less, the piercing shots item on steroids (it'd make sense if you play that game)]}.
- CHAAAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (based on one line Tohru uttered in one of the last episodes of the first season of Jackie Chan Adventures).
- ...because I'm evil
- BOOM!
- old family motto: If all else fails, improvise.
- First-World Problems: A lot of times, when describing a "problem" of mine, I lampshade this by specifically pointing it out as a "pathetic first world problem" (mostly as a paranoid desire to not seem like an asshole).
- Chaotic Evil: What I view my alignment as.
- Chaotic Neutral/Chaotic Good/Neutral Good/Nice Guy/All-Loving Hero: What some of my friends say I am (with two of them basically saying I'm too nice to be evil).
- Character Tics: Whenever I use air quotes, I tend to say "quote, unquote" after the thing I'm quoting (for example, "bubbles", quote, unquote), otherwise...
- Aside Glance: I do so whenever I feel annoyed.
- Badass Armfold: Another one of my common Character Tics.
- Giving Someone the Pointer Finger: A double-edged one specifically, the Heavy Weapons Guy was kind enough to demonstrate (just remove the thumb and rotate the hand a quarter counterclockwise).
◊
- Oral Fixation Fixation: I tend to chew the knuckle or skin of my right index finger when I'm nervous, or just bored (not to mention I never grew out of nail biting).
- Crazy-Prepared: I try my best to not leave fingerprints whenever possible, to the point where I keep my hand open when opening a door whenever possible.
- The Chick: I more or less fill this role in a steamgroup I (used to) frequent.
- Chivalrous Pervert: I admit to being a complete pervert, but I don't take it too far, and my personal code (see Even Evil Has Standards) forces me to give everyone that's not a complete douche at least some modicum of respect (with those I'm friends with having more respect that most).
- Chubby Bastard
- Cloud Cuckoolander: on occasion
- Crazy Awesome: Some of my friends have claimed me as such.
- Crowning Moment Of Awesome: I remember this time in Wo W when I was tanking an instance with my Protection Paladin build. All my other party members were all down, and I was the only one still up. I took that thing on in a battle of attrition, and I almost won [and could've if I didn't waste my Lay on Hands (my healing-based trump card) trying to keep the warlock alive]. I eventually lost, but my teammates treated it as a CMOA anyways due to how long I survived for (understand I had barely any raid gear on me). In hindsight, I sort of agree.
- Cultured Badass: I've done some study into Greek and Norse Mythology, and I have read the script for The Ring Of The Nibelung, watched The Phantom Of The Opera, and have taken an elective course in wine.
- Pop-Cultured Badass: I've been irreversibly altered into this due to the internet.
- Cuteness Proximity: Show me a picture of any of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and I instantly die of diabeetus and resurrect in the blink of an eye.
- Dandere:...............................YES
- Dark Is Evil, but not completely evil
- Deadpan Snarker: I can be pretty sarcastic on occasion.
- Deconstruction: Some people call me an All-Loving Hero, I can see people seeing me as a deconstruction of one.
- Even Evil Has Standards: I adhere to a strict moral code I've developed over the years (part of which spawn from my Freudian Excuse) so I never cross the Moral Event Horizon ever again.
- Principles Zealot: I always try my best never to compromise my code, even if it makes me butt heads, metaphorically speaking, with people (mostly my parents).
- The Everyman
- Evil Laugh: I have a particularly maniacal one I practice often.
- Expressive Hair: My hair tends to droop and cover my eyes when I'm depressed (due to me tending to drop my head when I feel such).
- Extremity Extremist: I used to practice Tae Kwon Do.
- Failure Hero: I either fail, or have a Pyrrhic Victory, I never really succeed.
- The Fettered: See Even Evil Has Standards
- Flanderization: My dad tends to flanderize me in his mind when he's ticked off.
- Four Eyes, Zero Soul: despite the fact that I try not to be a Complete Monster
- Genre Savvy: On occastion, thanks to this very wiki
- Goggles Do Nothing: I have a pair of welding goggles that I mainly keep just in case.
- Goggles Do Something Unusual: I did think about modding them into a pair of nightvision goggles one time.
- Going Native: When I joined my main Discord server, DDVR, I initially took to it as being a secondary part of VR Chat. Eventually, I developed a love of dancing, and I started attending all the main parties.
- Good Hair, Evil Hair: The Badass Van Dyck of Evil, as I like to call it.
- G-Rated Drug: Soda is like smoking for me. I'm currently trying to get off the stuff for good, been clean for a month or two.
- Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: Back in my WoW days, I played a Paladin (melee), and my two closest friends were a guy who alternated between a Paladin and a Rogue (both melee), and a girl who mained a Mage. Even now, quite a few people who are biologically female, or transgender female, that I play with tend to be ranged players, whereas I typically stick to melee.
- Has a Type: I tend to favor Tomboys, though my ideal would be a Tomboy with a Girly Streak. I also have a thing for blondes.
- Hotblooded
- He Really Can Act: Quite a few friends of mine feel I should get a career in acting, whether it be regular or voice.
- Heroic Comedic Sociopath: when I'm at my most neutral.
- Idiot Ball: I hold onto it so much that I wouldn't be surprised if my brain was literally the size of a mosquito.
- Idiot Hero/The Ditz: I tend to be this.
- Idiot Savant/Genius Ditz: I very rarely end up being this.
- Informed Ability: Considering that all of my romantic relationships were with women, I wouldn't be surprised if there were people who consider my bisexuality as such.
- Innocently Insensitive: I tend to seem like I'm flirting, or being rude, despite not intending to.
- Insistent Terminology: I tend to use "serieses" when referring to more than one series.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: There are, at least, two people I still carry a torch for. That said, their happiness is my priority.
- Jerkass: at times
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: usually when the above is applicable
- Keet/Genki Guy: From time to time, at my happiest.
- Knife Nut: One of my hobbies is Balisong flipping.
- Large Ham: YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Light Is Not Good: Not only am I light-skinned, my name translates to Guardian of Peace. This doesn't stop the fact that I'm evil.
- Light Is Good: That said, quite a few people would disagree with the above statement.
- Lovable Nerd
- Man of a Few Voices: Specifically my normal voice, my Smug Snake, my eighties falsetto, my British Nobleman, my Screech, my wicked witch, my talking crow, my Banjo\Big Macintosh, my CAPTAIN GORDON, DEFENDER OF EARTH, my Nathan Explosion\Christian Bale Batman, and occasionally a Nathan Fillion or Sylvester Stallone impression whenever I can manage it.
- Jack of All Stats: Some people claim me as this [with some claiming me as a Lightning Bruiser in the right situation (like a friend of mine claiming that I'm the best Cecil Harvey player he knows as far as Dissidia Final Fantasy goes)].
- Nice to the Waiter: My dad taught me to never keep a good worker from doing their job (get out of the way of waiters on the move, only hound the cashier if I get the wrong order, etc.), I also make sure to put at least a buck in the tip jar whenever possible. It's just common courtesy honestly.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: I went out of my way to warn the entirety of this Steam group I (used to) frequent about a malware threat, and a site they could use to see if they're infected. Naturally, one that (understandably) thought I was an ad spammer told me to fuck off.
- Averted by quite a few people I more frequently talk to in said group, all being thankful (granted one tried to corrupt me into being a dick, but it was after he thanked me, and he only had the purest intentions, thinking it'd be for my own best interest).
- No Social Skills: or, at least, fewer social skills than most
- Only Sane Man: I sometimes feel this of myself.
- Not So Above It All: See the rest of this page
- Opaque Lenses: When outside in the sun, due to my glasses being polarized (the lenses darken in the sun).
- Opposites Attract: I love my parents, and they me, but my parents are very conservative and I'm...not (though I don't see myself as a liberal either).
- Proud to Be a Geek
- Pungeon Master: What can I say?, my jokes are quite punomenal.
- Purple Is Powerful: My preferred color palette for Take-Mikazuchi in Persona 4 Arena is the purple one. That said, Kanji and Take-Mikazuchi are the resident grappler character in that game (i.e., enormous damage output when used properly).
- Red Oni, but sometimes Blue
- Real Men Play Robot Unicorn Attack
- ...and are bronies
- ...and occasionally have manicures (yeah, you heard me)
- Rule of Three: I have an idea for these three serieses stylized as a legend (similar elements, different interpretations).
- Rummage Sale Reject
- Seinfeldian Conversation: I tend to have these, mostly about video games.
- Sir Swears Alot: FUCK YES!
- Cluster F-Bomb: FUCK YES! FUCK YES! FUCK YES! FUCK YES! FUCK YES! FUCK YES!
- Snark Knight: Whenever I see some of the more idiotic people in this country.
- Sweet Tooth: One that I have to, unfortunately, have to control for the sake of losing weight.
- Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Considering my routund physical build, and my long hair, I wouldn't be surprised if people thought I was a flat-chested girl (and, in fact, some dude thought I was a girl one time when I was jogging). That said, the possibility of said confusion is one of the reasons for my Van Dyck. The other reason is because I think they look stylish in a refined, mature way.
- Fridge Logic: That said, that dude should've noticed by Van Dyck instead of calling me a girl because of my long hair (partially due to the fact that he looked pretty old, and long hair was commonplace in dudes a few decades ago).
- The Napoleon: A zigzaged trope. While I am aware that I'm around average height for a dude (roughly 5 foot 9 inches, give or take an inch or two), I know a lot of dudes who're taller than me (and some girls as well), and I'm more snarky about it than assholish.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Generally, anything made with beef (and Bacon, bacon good).
- When it comes to toppings, I love mushrooms.
- Troll: on occasion◊
- Tsundere: A male example, from time to time...NOT THAT YOU'RE COOL ENOUGH TO KNOW, BECAUSE YOU AREN'T!
- Unskilled, but Strong: I tend to lean towards grappler characters (or Mighty Glaciers in general) nowadays in fighting games. This is mostly because I don't have the dexterity for rushdown, the brains for keep away, the basic EVO-level natural talent for generalists, I'm too interested in offense for turtles, etc. Likewise, in other games, like Monster Hunter and Dungeons and Dragons, I typically forego tactics in lieu of "hit thing with giant sword until it dies."
- Verbal Tic: I tend to add "...or something like that" to the end of my sentences.
- I've recently started ending my sentences with "y'know?."
- Villain Protagonist/Token Evil Teammate
- Weirdness Magnet: A lot of people I meet tend to be out of the ordinary in some way.
- When He Smiles: I've been told I have a pretty good one whenever I do.
VANDALIZE ME!
...or something like that, y'know?
