Some troper. An avid fan of Strategy RPG, Shoot 'Em Up, and Fighting Games.
Likes to add in potholes and related tropes to an article (e.g. "See also..."). Tries to add in non-Eagleland examples to Wiki entries to alleviate the We All Live in America biasnote on this This Very Wiki. Also removes/cleans up No Export for You entries since most have perfectly valid reasons and it's been a magnet of Fan Myopia. In favor of objectifying trope descriptions and examples.
Might get around to filling the rest of this later.

Tropes applicable to I, Totenkruez
- Annoying Laugh: My childhood laugh, complete with hyena laugh and snorting.
- Berserk Button: Let's see...
- "Good Samaritan" is the only racial slur to irritate me. Any other is fine; N-Word Privileges or no.
- No Export for You whiners on This Very Wiki and in general. Game didn't come out where you live? Stop whining. Shut up and just import or pirate the damn thing.
- People over the age of eight believing in moral absolutism.
- Weeaboos. A personal litmus test/Take That! against people who say they know Japanese is to respond with gratuitous use of non-basic kanji and grammatical constructions.
- Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce: A favoured condiment. Usually has a bottle of Dave's Insanity Sauce or such around.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Why spend an hour on a paper to get a 95 when you can half-ass it in less than half the time and walk off with an 90? Seriously, it's not an efficient use of time.
- Curious as a Monkey: An innate trait of mine. "What If?" to the extreme.
- Devil's Advocate/For Want Of A Nail: The inevitable evolution to insatiable curiosity.
- Deadpan Snarker: Totally helpful in social situations.
- Deliberate Values Dissonance: A fan of this and likes to invoke this from time to time. People today like to look down upon the values of those different and mock them. Imagine what future people will do to all the values you hold in high esteem...
- Evil Laugh: My current laugh. It is similar to Iori Yagami's, but a bit longer and (usually) in four stages rather than three.
- Gratuitous German: Check the handle carefully. The correct spelling for "dead cross" in German is "Totenkreuz". It's deliberately misspelled as an Inherited Illiteracy Title and to ensure an available handle when signing up. Also, the only Gratuitous Foreign Language that could be sensibly used. Gratuitous English wasn't possible due to a combination of Poe's Law, Rouge Angles of Satin, and the wonderful state of the American Educational System. Gratuitous Japanese wasn't possible due to the rise of the weeaboos (due to the mainstreaming of anime in the Western world). Also, being proficient in English and Japanese makes it a lot harder to pull off. Likewise, not really knowing German helps.
- Guilty Pleasure: Hikaru Utada songs.
- Import Gamer: I can personally say that crack is indeed cheaper...
- Lolicon: A shameless connoisseur of Delicious Flat Chest.
- Polyglot: English, Spanish, Japanese, and three dialects of Chinese.
- Rooting for the Empire: Antagonists are generally better written in most works. At the very least, antagonists usually represent some deviation from a work's contemporary accepted norms. And that's always a plus.
- Rousseau Was Right: Adheres to a twisted version of this combined with moral relativism, thinking most people do what they believe is right, for some arbitrary value of right... this means almost everyone (including myself) is a self-righteous idealogue. In short, I see the world as running on some ungodly combination of Blue-and-Orange Morality and Gray-and-Grey Morality.
- Values Dissonance: Is aware of, but does not subscribe to the general moral compass prevalent on This Very Wiki. Most of the morality examples here seemingly meant to elicit moral outrage do not resonate in the same way or are lost on this troper. All those "Sadly..." and "Unfortunately..." stuff... meh.
