"Always busy, always working, always typing away at speeds unknown, always at the computer..."
— MightyFan217, TV Tropes

"As wicked as he plays, as demented as he prays
His determination unbound, his soul yet to be found.
Who is when he calls; it's the mightiest fan of all!
MightyFan217! He'll destroy your Heaven!
A T. rex for a puppet, as it haunts even a Shuppet.
His arm springs to life, as this Dino is full of strife.
Deep dishes for his meals, as soda are his steals!
Up To Eleven? Multiply By Seven!
MightyFan217! He'll rise up and leaven!
A shining cobalt star, he sees you from afar.
Even with The Blue Tri, he will see you when you die!
Truth and Ideals, he is Hel with the reveals!
MightyFan217! He'll crank it Up To Eleven!
As restless as he is, and nightmares are his quiz.
To solve the solution to his frustration, he'll bring about devastation!
All the world will know, now it's time for the show!
MightyFan217!! He'll strike down from heaven!
Chronicle-King!! He'll pull you into the ring!
Shiramu-Kuromu!!! He'll seal you in his Zoo!!
MightyFan217!!! He'll curse you by eleven!!!
MightyFan217!!! You're now banned from the seventh heaven!!!"

The mightiest fan of all.

*sighs* Hello everyone this is MightyFan217, and welcome to my TV Tropes Page. As well as being a Let's Player, I am also an artist, a writer, and a novice video game designer with about four years of experience with RPG Maker VX Ace. I am also the creator of the Massively Multiplayer Crossover Fan Fic known as Citadel of the Heart, which is a combination of both my original works stories and AU/Retold versions of other franchises as well.

My legend began on May 9th, 1994 in Akron, Ohio, where I made my beginnings as a spoiled brat of a child with an obsession with dinosaurs and prehistoric animals. Over the years I grew up with an older brother named Dalton, and my relationship with him started off rocky to say the least. However, because of him, I was introduced to my favorite gaming franchises we all know as Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and Pokémon. Having been diagnosed with Autism alongside my brother, both of us grew up in differing, troubled ways; my brother was socially handicapped when talking with girls, and I've been socially handicapped by eventually stopping to socialize during high school until towards the end, and then of course me attending a year's worth of college before dropping out due to sheer anxiety issues not helped by my teachers not grading my stuff on time and causing me to panic until the very last second of each session.

How I am nowadays tends to vary, though; while my brother and I still have a rivalry, my days have become filled with depression, anxiety, insomnia, and having to deal with the fact both my brother and I still live with our parents, both of us without a job, as both of us live differing lifestyles but as similar in that we're both heavily bound to the computer. I at least make the attempt to be productive, considering my parents have high hopes in me still to be able to succeed in whatever job I manage to land. Currently seeking a computer related desk job, I am currently focusing my talents on the computer either playing games, downloading ROMs and ISOs for my emulators or my custom firmware installed PSP, making artwork with my talents I gathered over the years, writing stories and fan fics currently meant for Citadel of the Heart, and working on a game project that is now over 4 years old. Here I am, face me now, as I am here on TV Tropes to offer answers to many more questions regarding me and my past, present, and any potential future I shall have.

Now has a separate page for Creator under MF217.

Also now has a Sandbox for troping individual fics within Citadel of the Heart for that he isn't entirely certain will be the case with the actual story or not regardless of how finished they currently are.

    Tropes About Me 

  • Adorkable: Just look at the rabbit plush on my head up there, seriously! Let alone the Solgaleo and Charmander plushes in the same shot.
  • Agree to Disagree: Considering my fourth girlfriend is a Creationist and I believe in evolution and have a mentality comparable to Shockwave, this generally how we talk most of the time when it comes to this subject. However, there are exceptions with my girlfriend being actually willing to hear out my own explanations just like how sometimes I do the same, since as our relationship progressed this became less of an issue to talk about our own thoughts more openly. Eventually our love for each other allowed us to be significantly more open about the topics we discuss, and so far I've been in a relationship with my fourth girlfriend longer than any of my other exes in the past. Come August of 2020, it'll be our 3rd Anniversary together.
  • Animal Motif: Dimetrodon seems to be increasingly becoming this over the years, because of the fact Grandis unwittingly got his name from it.note 
  • Arc Number: 217 and 1169 tend to be the most reoccurring ones. 217 because it has been part of my username for over a decade, and 1169 because it was the original number for the landline phone that used to be in the household I live in before it was removed just under a decade ago.
  • Ascended Meme: My tendency to play Mabinogi with my main and how much my dedication to the game has caused me to, in recent years, view my main as my own fictional son. No surprises as to who Grandis' son is in Citadel of the Heart.
  • Author Avatar: Ultimorian Deity Grandis.
  • Autism: My mental condition, alongside extreme anxiety issues at that.
  • Awesomeness Withdrawal: A problem I have with Mabinogi is that the game appeals to me big time, but the Scrappy Mechanic regarding the Anti-Grinding features regarding field mob drop rates often force me to play the game for only 1 hour and then wait exactly 2 hours or more before continuing, because as I farm Burgundy Bears for both their hunting quest and whatever leather drops for me to auction off, I end up having to force myself to stop playing before I activate the drop penalty for hunting too much in a single area for too long.
  • Bad Liar: Often times I have difficulty keeping a secret about something I did in a Let's Play such as using a cheat code to get something I need, but often times I tend to have an Author's Saving Throw by me showing in a bonus episode me accomplishing something without using cheats.
  • Basement-Dweller: Justified in that a steady job is by no means easy to come by for me, so me having any kind of paying job is a Cue the Flying Pigs moment.
  • Berserk Button:
    • While I'm more than happy to rip apart somebody who is behaving homophobic, there is also the lesser times where I'm willing to chew out those with an non-ironic Het Is Ew personality.
    • Insulting my relatives is also a good way to piss me off; also, no matter how many times my various romantic partners may have wronged me, whether I'm currently dating or not, never insult my romantic partners.
    • While I don't use my Autism as an excuse for my behavior, trying to use it as a Jerk Justification against me for the sole reason of using a certain word around me is an easy way to piss me off, but just not be very vocal about it.
    • Spyro the Dragon fanatics had me at edge with them because of how they behave more like they're entitled to have a remake of the original trilogy, rather than being patient on the idea or having earned it by remaining patient for it. The leaks of Spyro Reignited Trilogy have calmed myself down now that we finally have some official confirmation a remake is even happening at all, but the nasty scars from entitled bastards still remain.
    • Claiming I'm a die-hard Atheist when I barely even qualify as an Atheist to begin with, since while I have some of the qualities of an Atheist, I'm not adhering it as the number 1 rule because I've personally known a die-hard Atheist who I had to watch destroy his friendship with me and destroy himself as a person as a result.
  • Beware of the Nice Ones: When my Rage Breaking Point is achieved, that is when I become the monstrous Sociopath in terms of foul temper that I'm sometimes criticized for having, when normally I'm just an Extreme Doormat who doesn't have much to say or do about things.
  • Big Fun: How I've traditionally been known even when I lost a lot of weight in middle school, only to regain some of it by the later years in my life.
  • Bittersweet 17: How my final year of high school played out; a lot, and I mean a lot, of angst from soon no longer going to be 17 at the time, primarily because of a lot of my thoughts I had when I was much younger imagining how life would be once I turned 18. Instead of becoming a respected individual as I had dreamed of, I was a social outcast Up To Eleven compared to the status as such as a child. Six years since then as of writing, and I'm still a social recluse who is out of touch with the current generation.
  • Black Sheep: How I stand out when compared to my other cousins is noted by my different hobbies and arrangements with my day to day business, and the fact I'm much more of a cynical, reclusive Jerkass if anything else. By 2018 I've more or less become self-aware as to how much I'm this around everyone as a whole.
  • But Not Too Bi: Prefers women more than men in terms of romance partners because of my mind being much more familiar with romance and courtship with the former than with the latter. The reason for this is detailed under Double Standard: Rape, Male on Male, but it doesn't stop me from being attracted to male Fanservice despite that. There is actually a particular male I've at one point had romantic feelings for, but as I already know the feeling is one-sided, and I'm still currently in a relationship with my fourth girlfriend so I'd rather not discuss it further.
  • But Not Too Foreign: Often times people mistake me for a British person, but I'm born in and native to the US.
  • Catharsis Factor:
    • My personal childhood trauma of all time is Diablomon from Digimon Adventure: Our War Game. Being able to tame and raise Diablomon's entire evolution line in games made available after the film's release when I was older only made it all the more cathartic to have what I consider the most dangerous villainous Digimon of all time against threats in the games.
    • Doing Fomor Scroll Collection Quests and successfully completing them on Mabinogi, especially if the reward payout is good. I've practically made a living out of doing this in-game.
    • Beating the Illusion Windblight Ganon, using the Duplex Bow and bomb arrows upon getting to Phase 2. The cherry on top? I actually dealt the finishing blow through melee.
  • Cherry Tapping: How I made due with a Manaphy in an old Let's Play that had me criticized for using Manaphy against Grass Types using Bubble as my only attack available at first. I thought they were crazy because none of them seemed aware no matter how hard I tried pointing it out that Manaphy's Special Attack was high enough to the point low base power moves destroyed many of the early game mons regardless of typing, and that it often took a double resistance to water to just barely survive an attack from Manaphy at that. Otherwise, even with a resistance, Manaphy's Bubble took just about everything out in a single shot.
  • Chivalrous Pervert: Doesn't let my perverted nature effect my relationships I've had over the years. While I may make some You Need to Get Laid comments to some of my friends, it's mostly because of the fact they honestly deserve it after the shit they put up with, and then of course myself I've long come to terms with the fact I won't get laid for a very long time.
  • Complacent Gaming Syndrome: My argument for why Breath of the Wild needs the weapon degradation system. Without it, nobody would even bat an eye at any other weapon ever again upon getting a hold of a particular weapon, bow, and shield; the Master Sword, the Ancient Bow, and the Hylien Shield. These three are already notorious for being massive Game Breakers, and without any restriction on their durability, combined with their inherent capabilities as a whole, nobody would ever dare consider to use any other weapon or bow, with only the shield slot being a possible exception due to the Ancient Shield, the shield with the highest defense of at least three shield types that have the ability to reflect Guardian lasers passively, and the only such shield which can deflect Guardian lasers for even the larger Guardian Stalkers, or possibly Calamity Ganon and the four Ganon Blights should they ever feel the need to use that specific attack.
  • Covert Pervert: I would be lying if I didn't say this is a massive Understatement.
  • Country Matters: I dropped the C-word quite a bit in a test recording I did for my possible revival for my Let's Plays, considering I was basically deciding to develop a persona that had me swearing like no tomorrow to basically showcase my honest opinion on YouTube's overtime degradation and how much it had screwed me and so many others over in the past and ongoing. I didn't upload the video because I wasn't satisfied with the gameplay footage I had recorded along with the audio.
  • Creator Cameo: Appears in my own works via Ultimorian Deity Grandis, my primary and for the most part only "true" Author Avatar.
  • Creator's Pest: My video for Marine Park Empire I did back in 2014 turned out to be this in hindsight, at least until September 19th of 2021, in which I discovered a way to play the game in Windowed Mode in a functional state. If I can't play a game in Windowed Mode, the chances of me recording the game are borderline null. However, this has been avoided as of September 20th of 2021, in which I had finally done a follow-up video on the initial Marine Park Empire video in which I started a new file with preparations made in advance for the now beginning Let's Play for the game. The reason for why this video was so notorious was simple; it was stupidly popular among my videos and I had no available means of making a follow-up or actual Let's Play for the video until over 7 years later.
  • Curtains Match the Windows: Brown hair and brown eyes.
  • Cuteness Proximity: A bird feeder just outside of my new counselor's window had me constantly staring at it to say the least because of the frequent activity it had.
  • Cynicism Catalyst:
    • One of my dogs running away, the other dying, the ferrets in this household dying one by one, bullies still persisting all the way towards the end of high school, dropping out of college, my various exes breaking up with me, another dog dying not very long after my grandpa had died...
    • And the above was just the stuff that happened before the year 2020, and then getting even worse in 2021.
  • Dare to Be Badass: Why else do you think I even bothered slaying the red-maned Lynel on Ploymus Mountain on the earliest and first (of several) encounters with it?
  • Dark and Troubled Past: It would border on Wangst if I went on detailing this. Let's just say I've been threw depressing situations as I started off young and then grew up since then.
  • Darker and Edgier: Something I hate being lumped into by automatic default when I go for a higher age rating with my fics. Don't get me wrong, I'm more than willing to admit my fics going into darker material then the source material it's based on, but as of 2020 I've dropped the idea of needlessly swearing, introducing graphic violence and or explicit sexual content like it means nothing, and of course anything else that would automatically warrant a higher age rating if admittedly the general idea behind why I have said age rating to begin with is that I don't do family-friendly.
  • Determinator:
    • My refusal to be without my signature recording software I had used for my older videos once my hard-drive crashed on Christmas of 2019 caused me to flawlessly reacquire the full version of it with nowhere near as much of a hassle I had to go through to initially reacquire the same exact software many years prior. Admittedly this had more to do with the fact I fully remembered exactly what I had to look for specifically to accomplish it.
    • Attempted with the first day back at my job assessment in 2020 when I had gotten no sleep the night prior, but as Reality Ensued, my mind was reduced to a plaything of the body because my body's desire for sleep outweighed my commitment to try and stay at work.
    • When I was told by one of my old guilds on World of Warcraft back in 2020 that I would be gifted Shadowlands for free if I had level grinded to Level 110 before the pre-patch landed, I did not waste time on one of the final days of the Battle for Azeroth expansion and indeed managed to level grind to 110 just in time to receive my reward. However, it did take a few weeks before I could redeem it, as I needed to wait for Battle of Azeroth to be rolled into the expansions available with the base game alone, as until a few weeks later, I would've still had to buy Battle for Azeroth which would've been a major waste of money.
  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: My entire behavior regarding Mountain Dew comes off a lot like a bad case of substance addiction. The best part? My medication won't allow me to drink actual alcohol even if I wanted to, so Mountain Dew is what I use for drinking games.
  • Doing It for the Art: The entire motive behind writing Citadel of the Heart.
  • Dork in a Sweater: Often times overlaps with a flannel jacket which, while I no longer own in real-life, consistently continue to draw on Grandis in his Phase 1 and 2 forms.
  • Double Standard: Rape, Male on Male: Averted; I am a victim of sexual misconduct as well as having my personal space invaded far too many times in the past when a friend of my brother used to come by my house every day because of my mom being paid to watch over him. The guy in question had an unhealthy obsession with trying to sneak into my bedroom and get into bed with me even when it became uncomfortably clear that I did not want him to share the bed with me. My mom and dad never took this seriously until I eventually told them about the issue many years later, and eventually telling multiple other people even later than that as to why I'm But Not Too Bi regarding my sexuality; this man had traumatized me about the prospect of getting into a relationship with a man, hence why I ultimately prefer women by the end of the day.
  • The Dreaded: Whenever I wasn't on the receiving end of The Bully, I was often The Bully myself when it came to how I would fare against others in self-defense in terms of why I've developed a reputation of being unusually strong for my build.
  • Enraged by Idiocy: Let's just say some of my former friends ended up being ditched because of me having this reaction towards them.
  • Extreme Doormat: Sometimes, but when my buttons are pushed too much...
  • Functional Addict: Despite my entire addiction to Mountain Dew I still function surprisingly well after nearly five years since I had begun to drink it on a near regular basis.
  • Gasshole: In private I'm this, but I avoid this easily when others are nearby.
  • Genius Ditz: While my intelligence is rather solid due to what I've been told from both my friends, family, and doctors, I have had a tendency to be easily forgetful of things that I had known about since I was very young, most often due to my mind not being able to immediately recall certain things depending on my general mood.
  • Headphones Equal Isolation and Intelligence Equals Isolation
  • Hidden Depths: Despite being considered to be atheist by my friends, I've been shown to actually do research on things such as the angel hierarchy, such as correctly pointing out how Ofanimon and Rasielmon are In Name Only Ophanim depictions, since the former especially looks more closer to a Gender Flipped Seraph. Ophanim, or the record, is an Eldritch Abomination that doesn't look humanoid in the slightest.
  • Hypocrite: The things I criticize stuff or people for, I'm often guilty of myself in some way. I'm usually at least more self-aware of these criticisms I make which could also apply to me.
  • Ink-Suit Actor: Ultimorian Deity Grandis, in his Phase 2 form, is heavily modeled after myself in real-life, but despite being an uglier version of me, he only goes so far as a goatee rather than the full-on beard I tend to have when I haven't shaved in a while.
  • Insistent Terminology:
    • I always tend to refer to the original MetalGreymon as "MetalGreymon Virus", whereas the more famous Palette Swap I call either simply MetalGreymon or "MetalGreymon Vaccine". Friends have attempted to get me to refer to the former as BlackMetalGreymon, but the issue is it's not black; it's either blue or purple depending on the game, and even BlackGreymon prior to it is only black in the helmet and not the actual body, which is again blue.
    • I also always tend to omit the XD in the title of Pokémon Gale of Darkness, if merely because the title is easier to take seriously that way.
  • The Klutz: Low DEX compared to other D&D stats.
  • Made of Iron: For a normal man, I've been in accidents that should by all accounts have permanently damaged someone or possibly kill them, but I lived through them just fine as if it was Only a Flesh Wound.
  • Manipulative Bastard: In Brothers Forever I'm depicted as this, whereas Grandis noticeably isn't this at all. Well, technically, he is, but not to the extreme extent of myself from Brothers Forever.
  • Mean Character, Nice Actor: Downplayed, but I do qualify considering I'm generally a nice guy so long as you don't push my buttons.
  • Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls: Normally would technically be Most Writers Are Male, but considering almost all of my actual published works are fanfics, this leads to a subversion of the trope proper since I'm a male, for starters, and then the fact it's true that I have romance in my fics in general, but often times they're not meant to be the subject of the whole story proper since there actually does tend to be a plot at minimum, sometimes bordering into Porn with Plot territories.
  • Nervous Wreck: Almost all of my medication, from which I take three times per day in differing doses, involves effects that either reduce anxiety or something related to negating anxiety. When so much as just one of these pills are not being taken due to being out of it for a time being, let's just say I easily become an even more exaggerated Nervous Wreck than this trope or even my own behavior would remotely imply.
  • Old Shame:
    • I'm not very happy about any of my old Let's Plays, primarily because of either the illegitimate ways I tried to play the game and or because of former associates whom I've long parted with being involved in the commentary. The latter was prevalent even going into newer videos up until 2019. I also didn't like how Digimon World Dawn was off to a Downer Beginning of wiping in the initial tournament to the rival character, and even despite making up for it over time with the next few episodes, the incident of my hard-drive failure caused me to lose the save data for both this Let's Play and every older one altogether in one foul swoop, forcing me to effectively have to start from scratch. The only game I had used a PC to play that was in no way adversely affected was Mabinogi.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
    • Back in 2020, I had mentioned to a group on Discord that I used to play World of Warcraft and that I had deleted my original account for Battle.net the year beforehand because of the incident with Blitzchung. When a new friend I had made on the server reminded me of myself when trying to beg other people to play the same game with me and asking me to give WoW another chance, I realized how much of my former friends I did remind myself of and immediately got to work with making a new account for Battle.net and starting a new set of characters on the same server he was on. Subverted, however, with what ultimately happens in 2021 with Blizzard getting themselves into yet another severe controversy, but unlike last time, I was at least pragmatic enough to not delete my Battle.net account so that nothing went to waste this time, although that was mostly because I had the ulterior motive of me having won Shadowlands for free from a guild I was in during my return in which I hit the original Legion Level Cap before the pre-patch for Shadowlands landed.
    • After I had discovered about the rom file found for the long lost Dinosaur Planet (Rare) and after having already more than experienced the final product known as Star Fox Adventures, I was genuinely shocked to learn the rom simply needed some small prep work and it would work on an emulator just fine. I was not emotionally ready for what I was about to bare witness to, so much in fact to the point that an associate I have bad blood with I had unironically invited along for the ride because of how much this game has mattered to both of us since over 5 years of having known each other. We set out status as enemies aside in favor of me showcasing my first hands on experience with the playable state of the rom. To say my emotional reactions to what I played were beyond powerful and very personal were an understatement. This was the personal Wham Episode of the entirety of 2021 for me with this experience alone.
  • Picky Eater: Definitely, considering I grew up in a time where food education for those with Autism was not a thing. As a result of the difference in the way Autism was handled while I was growing up, I ended up remaining a picky eater based off of the texture of foods, because by the time food education was a thing for people like me, I was already far too old for it to work for me. I typically thrive on junk food the most, and typically my low appetite tends to have me taking an entire week to eat a Little Caesar's pizza as of 2020. However, once my appetite kicks in, I feast.
  • The Pig-Pen: Not to the same degree as my Author Avatar, but let's just say neither of us are too far off from each other. Slowly becoming a Discredited Trope regarding myself, however; beginning with March of 2019, my hygiene has taken a massive scale in improvement and has stayed that way, but my weight is still something I have to work on, to which I anticipate the warm summer ahead as of writing to utilize Pokémon GO with to achieve a lighter weight.
  • Playful Hacker: Ever since I was around 3 years old, my mom mentions a lot of having a photograph of me at my grandma's computer smiling happily. What was I doing at such a young age? Sending dinosaur screen pets to my mom and then having them plague my grandma's computer on a near constant basis.
  • Player Tic: In Pokémon, in every game except FireRed and LeafGreen as well as Gen I and II, the Premier Ball is always, always used for the first catch in a wild encounter in each game I play. The trend started around the time I was beginning to write more for Truth and Ideals during 2015, in which I ended up creating an In-Universe trend to have new trainers catch their very first wild Pokémon using exclusively the Premier Ball and nothing else, as a means of living up to the Premier Ball's item description by making it a rite of passage for every trainer character I play as to catch their first wild Pokémon using the Premier Ball as a celebratory victory as having learned all of the basics with being a Pokémon Trainer. Even in the spin-off games, Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon Gale of Darkness I've continued to do this even though it only makes sense in-story for the latter of the two.
  • Rage Breaking Point: Take my word for it, as you will not want to see me when I reach this point...
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to my brother's Blue.
  • Rouge Angles of Satin: Even I'm not immune to this trope despite my competency with writing otherwise. People generally agree I'm a good writing, but my spelling and grammar could seriously use some work a lot. Some of the times, however, my attempts to improve only get half-way to the point because of how harder than it sounds certain improvements are. I later admitted it's a semi-apathetic nature of mine to not invest my full effort into fixing while a story is ongoing, but when a story is completed, that's when I'll put the largest amount of effort into averting this trope.
  • Rule of Symbolism: The Ultimorian Deities, Chronicler, Eidolon, and any of their relatives are based off of a variable amount of personal experiences with either myself or events in real-life that are personified into the Ultimorian Deities' characteristics.
    • Grandis represents myself, as the individual who is cursed to forever be a part of his own pantheon because there isn't any true means of escape from reality other than diving into fiction.
    • Ultima is a representation of my grandparents on my mother's side being Christian, and the fact I originally attended church at a young age but stopped going there once attendants could not curb my autism in ways that would make me easier to handle, as they had no permanent staff to keep an eye on my brother and I. Ultima is basically my viewpoints I had at this young age personified into a Creator Deity who would serve as the catalyst for my original works, as Ultima's own coming into existence symbolizes my separation from my Christian heritage and the beginning of a new chapter in my life.
    • Dragora Galaxia was when my ideals and behavior as a child bordering into a teenager was beginning to heavily clash to the point my entire grasp on reality was completely and utterly destroyed; Dragora is the representation of the destruction of my former grasp on reality during my first years as a teenager, in the form of a Destroyer Deity who served as the first Game Changer in my life.
    • Mirror M is based off of an old Bomberman OC from which I had an immense love for the franchise growing up, but had an immense falling out with the franchise once the 7th generation began, and thus when I had the opportunity, I retooled Mirror M into an original works character, with the name Mirror M meaning a reflection of his former self; as I had fallen out of touch with the Bomberman franchise over the years since the 7th generation began, I had gradually transformed Mirror M into an even bigger reflection of his former self, leading all the way into his incarnation as a purely original works creation.
    • Darigus is a Satanic Archetype who is personified of everything wrong with myself, other people I know, and the many evils of the world I had to witness and experience first hand all wrapped up into what I could only call the Ultimate Evil of the villains in my original works. Darigus is considered a Vile Villain, Saccharine Show in my works because he represents every possible negative emotion I've ever had, every negative experience I've had with people or other events, and virtually every misdeed and outright heinous thing I've ever been exposed to by either myself or from other people and or events I had experienced first hand.
    • Chronicler is a part of myself that can never go away; the side of myself that first got my interested in Mabinogi that would forever change my entire daily life later down the road as perhaps the single best free-to-play MMO I've ever had the honor of playing, and Chronicler's entire avatar in the game and my dedication to improving his abilities and stats is all because of a father-like dedication I have towards me treating Chronicler like a fictional, yet all too real to me anyways, son of my own that I'm trying to raise to be a strong individual to better his person.
    • Rose is too fucking graphic to talk about in this regard at all, not unless you want severe Nausea Fuel to take effect. Just, do me a favor and take my word for it.
  • Security Blanket: My fucking New Nintendo 3DS XL. I feel beyond uncomfortable in unfamiliar places if I don't happen to have it on hand, considering it's SDXC card placed into it houses so many games that can keep my anxiety levels down that it's not even a joke how much I have crammed into that storage amount. The damned thing also is perpetually on charger in sleep mode at all times when at home, stationed right on top of my desktop PC's tower. It has become this trope even more in 2021 after I had modified it with homebrew software and downloaded roms and various other stuff onto it, even going as far as to get roms of the games I had on physical cartridge already, back-up the saves on the physical cartridge versions, import them into the emulated versions, and then just give the cartridges to my brother as a gift while keeping only one of the cartridges for myself to keep dust from getting into the 3DS.
  • Self-Deprecation: Grandis is designed as an Exaggerated take on myself, but does not shy away from the more Gonkish nature of how I am in appearance or overall hygiene; Grandis merely exaggerates what I already have going on.
  • Serial Tweaker: All because I forget to include certain tropes and information that were originally on the tip of my tongue but quickly forgot until I clicked save.
  • Sibling Rivalry: Much of the final quest line in Mabinogi that led up to changing Chronicler into a Dark Knight was me constantly one-upping my brother's attempts to help out with G3's final dungeon, in which I effectively had solo'd the final boss and even cheated death in doing so.
  • Silliness Switch: Sometimes I throw myself for a loop with how my artwork can vary from stuff like this to stuff also like this.
  • Sleepyhead: Often prone to sleeping very often even when I'm fully awake for extended periods of time, and I don't take being suddenly woken up very well.
  • SNK Boss: When it comes to computers, people around me learn the hard way not to mess with me in this regard.
    • My high school's computer staff regarded me as such when I was still attending there. I was using a program to get around the school's firewalls regarding blocking websites, and normally, when anyone else does this at this school, they can still be monitored by the staff. I on the other hand completely disappeared off of the grid when I did it, leading to eventually the staff getting the "brilliant" idea towards the tail end of my senior year to try and experiment with my time on the computer to try and beef up their security by learning exactly how I was bypassing their security for over 3 and a half years by then. I never wound up doing so because I ended up in a severe state of depression due to being incapable of having free time on the computer after all of my school work was done, and needless to say my mom was absolutely livid when she discovered I was being used as a guinea pig for my capabilities of utterly eviscerating their firewall security. By the time I graduated, they never learned my secret as to how I pulled it off. How did I pull it off you might ask? Using a browser software that's designed to bypass the internet censorship in countries like China and North Korea, nowadays known through programs that utilize a Virtual Private Network, which are much more accessible nowadays than back then.
    • Then there was a time some good 15 years ago when I had got around a parental controls program on one of the household's computers, and not only did I lock out my own mother from accessing it, but I locked out the very company who designed the program as well, so that they couldn't fix it. When my mom got a refund, she would've actually been paid extra for any intel she could provide on how I managed to lock the company out, but me playing stupid back then prevented that from happening.
    • The aforementioned dinosaur screen pet invasions mentioned under Playful Hacker. There was an old PC game that had a Spinosaurus screen pet from Jurassic Park III, and I constantly used it to send Spinos to my mother and often time have them drive my grandma nuts whenever I was gone, due to them showing up about a day after I had left her house. Keep in mind I wasn't even any older than 8 when I had done all of this, considering I knew how to make the dinosaurs stop appearing, but my grandmother and mother did not.
  • Spoiler Hound
  • Stout Strength: Often times people had to learn the hard way that I was far stronger than my general appearance gave me the credit for being.
  • Theme Naming: I have a tendency to name my Final Fantasy heroes after the Ultimorian Deities.
    • Red Mage = Ultima, Zaalim, Eid(o)lon
    • White Mage = Rose, C(e)nta(u)ri, Balaur
    • Black Mage = Gen(e)sis, Dr(a)gora
    • Warrior = Gr(a)ndis, H(y)dr(i)ska, Ker(a)K(i)ng
    • Monk: Mir(r)or( )M, Darig(u)s
    • Thief: Min(e)rva, Damion/Chr(oni)cl(e)r
  • TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary: Sort of.
  • Used to Be More Social: Zigzagged, considering during many of the time between graduating high school and now, I was rather not very active with socializing, but 2017 saw me grow out of that old shell. I did, however, used to be very social during middle school than I was any year prior.
  • Voice with an Internet Connection: How I've made myself known to my friends and how I've been communicating socially for the past almost four years so far.
  • Vow of Celibacy: ... Which only lasted over 3 years, from 2014 when I broke up with my third girlfriend, to getting together with my current girlfriend as of writing in 2017. Still technically true in that I'm now officially waiting until I get hitched before I even remotely consider amplifying a relationship I'm in to include sex.
  • We Used to Be Friends: Myself and a former friend I knew in real-life growing up since childhood up all the way until a few years after high school had ended. We used to have many of the same interests, including a shared mutual interest in Banjo-Kazooie and its sequel. However, he started to have a falling out with me because of my continued interest in Pokémon, which he believed to be "just for kids", which immensely but a damper on my opinion on him because of the fact I'm a part of the Periphery Demographic of Pokémon which includes people in their late teens or adults like myself. Don't even get me started on how toxic he had became with his YouTube content, considering while he's been inactive just like myself, he deleted all of his older videos which showcased who he had used to be as a person and as my friend.
  • What the Hell Is That Accent?: Not very often, but sometimes when I join a new server and people hear my voice for the first time, they lead me to believe I have a specific form of accent no matter how slight it may be. I've been told on two different occasions that my voice sounds either British or Southern US. The latter of which is at least somewhat accurate considering my ability to speak in an exaggerated version of a Deep South accent.
  • Write Who You Know: Excluding my Author Avatar Grandis, several other characters in Citadel of the Heart are based off of either people I know, or some aspects of myself. Jeri is written with my own behavior in mind considering we both have Autism, Takeru is written based off of my mentor's Memetic Sex God nature, Matthew is a Composite Character of multiple people I knew named Matt who have influenced me over the years for better or worse, and William is based off of a friend I knew since middle school whom I sometimes still talk to today.
  • You Need to Get Laid: Well with me getting into a relationship as my mentor tells me anyways, which now I currently am as of the time of writing. As for actually getting laid, that's not going to happen regardless of whom I'm dating until after marriage.
  • Your Mind Makes It Real: Chronicler's status of being Grandis' son has led to some moments of Chronicler, regardless of his lore or Mabinogi appearances, being treated as though he were my actual son. Not helping matters is Grandis' status as my Author Avatar. Overall it acts like a Papa Wolf instinct whenever major harm befalls my special boy in Mabinogi in any way or form.
