Just another unemployed, easily irritable, depressed troper that tries to find meaning within his life by either finding tropes to associate with videogames, or fights like a rooster to sate his own existential void.

Anime and Manga

- Just a little note: I'm one of those guys who hate Dragon Ball GT and got so happy when Akira Toriyama used Dragon Ball Super to render GT into Canon Discontinuity.
- JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Just my most recent tenure into anime and manga. The Dreamcast version of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future already had sparked my interest, but the anime did the whole work.
- Naruto: Read the whole manga, gave the middle finger to the anime thanks to Filler content.
- Also, don't come to me with Boruto, as I deride it on the same level as Dragon Ball GT.
- Saint Seiya: Another small part of my childhood. Happened with most brazilians if you ask me.

Comics
- Marvel Comics
- Spider-Man: Definitely the Marvel hero I love the most. I'm highly enraged Marvel shunted Peter back into penniless status.

Notable tropes applying to me:
My Opinions of Myself
- Acceptable Hobby Targets:
- Bronies. And let's not get into Rule 85.
- Congratulations, Steven Universe fans on the Brazilian Cartoon Network page on Facebook. You fuckers messed with the wrong Brazilian fanbase.
- Acceptable Lifestyle Targets:
- Brazilian funkers are treated with prejudice by me. Crime apologists, mysoginists to the max, and God forbid me from ever using whatever fashion is theirs because SHIT that stuff is ridiculous.
- I've been getting a beef against mumble rappers as well, for exactly the same reasons as the funkers. Now really, why the fuck do the new generation of rappers have such a boner for tattooing their faces?
- Acceptable Political Targets: Formerly, the right-wing. Then I turned right-wing and started targeting the left.
- All of the Other Reindeer: I'm avoided like the goddamn Black Plague in this site's forums.
- Don't worry, it's not just here. It's anywhere. It happens when I don't conform to any standards whatsoever.
- A Man Is Not A Virgin: Subverted. I may be a 30YO virgin (laugh all you want), but that's because of my own moral code. Really, I'm not willing to waste the first time on a prostitute.
- Angrish: You can tell how angry I am by the contents of my speech. The more furious I am, the more cussing you will see.
- Asperger's Syndrome: I'm a bad case of this. Just to trope-check:
- Literal-Minded
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander, and people may think I'm actually schizophrenic
- Keet
- Brutal Honesty, and trust me, I am a bad liar.
- Humor bordering on, or trespassing, Black Comedy
- Innocently Insensitive / Lack of Empathy on a small degree
- Orange And Blue Morality: OH BOY, DO I EVER HAVE THIS.
- Flying rages when something is out of my reach? Definitely.
- At Least I Admit It: Have you noticed how open I am about how bitter of a person I am?
- Attention Deficit Creator Disorder: My friends will agree with me on that, as I only finished exactly ONE fanfic in all of my "writing career".
- Berserk Button: You could make a book based on my own rage.
- Never, EVER, accuse me of being a Hypocrite, for I always do my 200% to back my own shit up. To the point I actually refuse to backpedal myself on my opinions, no matter how wrong I may be.
- The last thing you will ever want to say to me is that you like to let me think I have friends. You have no fucking idea how bad I will take these words, and you have no idea of what will happen next. You'd be much better off outright saying you don't like me than pulling this fucking one.
- Also... If you're a gaming company, do not fucking release a half-made game. I made a collection of enemies on Shoryuken just by protesting against Street Fighter V and Tekken 7's lack of basic content.
- That's not to say my case with BlazBlue: Central Fiction's dub. Let's just say I started to avoid talking about the game for a good reason.
- Involve my family in ANYTHING about fucking with me, and I'll make total sure you'll regret it. Likewise, using my own profile portrait as an argument to how retarded I am is likely to send me on my way to punch your face.
- Certain memes will get on my nerves when flooded to cancer levels.
- The Berserker: I don't drive my Rage around. Rage drives me around.
- Bias Steamroller: Do not expect me to go along with any hype. Also, don't expect me to like a popular (and especially overhyped) game. Trying to force this on me is a very bad idea.
- Blasphemous Boast: When you feel like God outright hates you, it comes naturally.
- Blood Knight: Once I'm locked onto someone/something to consider an enemy, I get dead set on destroying it and need to be talked out of it. Which hardly works until I have either a Heel Realization or some epiphany of sorts. Or then I end up causing too much damage for my own good. It's quite the depressing cycle if you ask me.
- Borderline Jerkass Disorder: Understatement.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: I am intelligent, but don't expect me to work without heavy motivation.
- Brutal Honesty: To the point my words are actually dangerous to everyone including myself.
- Casual-Competitive Conflict: A heavy defender of the "casual side", thanks to the Shoryuken community until I eventually left the community (that's right, I managed to not be banned from it).
- Category Traitor:
- I'm borderline xenophobic to the very country I was born and live in. Let that sink into your mind.
- Also, I'm a former left-wing (That actually refused to believe that I was one) who turned traitor as soon as I found Anarcho-Capitalism.
- For a guy that derides mobile games (Especially from Square Enix) as Shovelware trash, it's quite curious that I got into playing Final Fantasy Record Keeper... One of said "shovelwares". Another Gamer and Drake Clawfang can attest to that.
- Caustic Critic: Actually past caustic and straight into sulphuric.
- Cloud Cuckoolander: People often catch me laughing at random shit coming out of my brain and wonder if I lost my mind. Oh, and there's the Non Sequitur phrases I spit once in a while on chats.
- Cluster F-Bomb: If I am angry enough, nine out of ten words will be some form of cussing out of my mouth.
- Code of Honor: One to which I adhere to the ends of my soul. I won't back down from my words unless given a good reason to. I won't trust people unless given a good reason to. And you must surely expect me to fight with 200% of myself if I'm engaged on something.
- Dead Artists Are Better: Averted to hell and back. If I don't like someone when he was alive, I will not like the person after he died and I may even celebrate the fucker's death. Ask any of Mr. Catra's fans.
- Deadpan Snarker: Other of those things I can't quite seem to turn off, even if I'm oblivious to sarcasm myself.
- Death Seeker: Yeah, I've hit that point in my own depression and almost got banned from here for it. No, I am not proud of this. Yes, I am on professional help right now.
- Determinator: The worst kind of it. I won't give up a fight, no matter the price.
- Digital Piracy Is Okay: A true believer of "Sharing Is Caring"... Which happens to be concurrent with Libertarian ideals, who could have thought?
- Drugs Are Bad: I don't drink or do drugs. You can smoke, sniff or inject whatever you want, but do not try to convince me into doing it unless you have a serious death wish. That said, I'm okay with alchohol and marijuana.
- Extreme Doormat: IRL. Doesn't mean I'm a conformist, but for a long time I let lots of people tread all over me.
- Fatal Flaw: A list of it:
- Accentuate the Negative: Because I don't see any reason to see the positive side of anything. And yes, I have a nihilist line of thinking.
- Brutal Honesty: Which can't be turned off.
- Jerkass: Mostly as a defense mechanism, but almost never turned off.
- Pride: Strengthened by Code of Honor, which makes me even worse of a Determinator.
- Grammar Nazi: It happens when you are intelligent and go on a quest to find intelligent life in Brazil.
- Guilt Complex:
- Despite being a massive Jerkass, there's a lot of things I actually do regret in my life.
- That said, whenever I make a friend, I become afraid of every move I make, due to the disastrous consequences they normally have.
- Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Punk Rock: My main favorite musical styles. Though Punk Rock may be falling out of my taste due to my recent conversion to Libertarianism. (Actually, nearly all brazilian music fell out of my taste due to becoming Libertarian.)
- Hair-Trigger Temper: To the point I actually wonder how the fuck I didn't have a heart attack or brain damage resulting from stress. Starting to listen to Chris X's advices made a good effect on starting to control this. I miss the guy.
- Hype Backlash:
- Lately I've been quite the guy to hate the game of the fashion. I wonder if it was Undertale that sparked this, but I'm sure there were earlier cases.
- I already didn't like what I saw on the Final Fantasy XV trailers. Then people decided it was a good idea to shill for the game around me. It got worse after it was released, because I checked the final product and found even more reasons to hate the game. Fucking hell, even the discussion on TV Tropes tends to bash the game, why wouldn't I?
- Yes, I am as fucking salted as the Dead Sea about Central Fiction's dub, to say the least. Nice question: WHY CAN'T ARC SYSTEM JUST LET THAT FUCKING CROSSOVER DIE?
- Insufferable Genius: So I think. IQ of 121, zero social skills. Only the ego is somewhat lacking, but my mother still compares me to Sheldon Cooper for some damn reason.
- In the Hood: When I'm not into leather jackets.
- Jerkass: To say that I am a bad case of this is a big Understatement. It says volumes when my formal introduction at the Shoryuken community after months of infighting includes the constant phrase: "I am not your friend".
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Of course, I'm not an impossible person and I actually care about my friends and family.
- Jerkass Façade: Also, it's good to note I use most of this as a defense mechanism rather than outright attacking.
- Loophole Abuse: Got used to this. Using save states to save time when fighting the Random Number God, or then taking profit on an edit lock timer bug on TV Tropes to take my damn sweet time editing the Blazing Souls character page.
- Meaningful Name: Zero Dozer was taken out from some shit I was doing when I ran out of names on an old notebook while playing Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego. I remembered the bulldozer bonus stage from Final Fight 3, threw Zero around, and rolled with it for my saves as that notebook fucked them up. When I got a Playstation and had the chance to name my saves, Zero Dozer was the first shit I came up with. The nickname stuck since then and I treated it as my trademark for some seventeen years.
- Incinerate comes from the Sonic Youth song of the same name.
- Nay-Theist: Is this how you describe Agnosticism nowadays?
- NEET: No employment, no education, no extracurricular activity. All check, so I'm effectively useless to my family.note
- Non Sequitur: A specialist at this, given how messy my mind is. Expect me to pull random, weird comments from out of nowhere.
- No Social Skills: Part of it is Asperger's Syndrome, the other part is result of a sheltered childhood. End result: Manchild with ENORMOUS Jerkass tendencies.
- Not a Morning Person: I am a nocturnal being for all accounts. It's better to do shit on a PC when you don't have to compete with your nephew and mother for it.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: I don't usually hype into shit, but when I do...
- Orange And Blue Morality: Aspie-style. Don't expect me to instantly see anything real wrong with the words I use, or my own actions.
On your every day Soul Calibur thread infighting: Being a jerk may indeed be a crime, but having an opinion that goes against the flow isn't.
- Then again, I admit that back then I was being jerkass and confrontational as fuck.
- Playing with Fire: Well, my current nickname is Incinerate after all. Hell, I'd give this name to my Stand if I had one.
- Pride: My finest Fatal Flaw.
- Refuge in Audacity: I really must have some warped sense of humor.
- Sarcasm-Blind: Just a hint: if you wanna send a message to me, send it in a way a monkey can understand.
- Self-Deprecation: People don't have to worry about dissing me. I do it myself.
- Stop and ask yourself: How come I have so many negative tropes associated to myself in my own description of myself? You guessed it: I got no self esteem.
- Serious Business: My lifestyle itself is this. I'm quite obsessed about everything, and I actually believe I will only cease to be like that on the day I die. Hence Death Seeker tendencies borne out of depression caused partially by this.
- Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Ramming heavily against the cynical end to find new limits to how jaded a person can be.
- Then Let Me Be Evil: What I make my attitude come off as.
- Trademark Favorite Food:
- Make me a plate of lasagna. Watch as it desappears from the plate and fill my stomach with gleeful taste.
- I'm known to swallow half a pizza in half a minute. Don't ask me how I still didn't get into obesity.
- TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life: *Looks at the massive page he made by himself* Well... Yeah.
- The Unapologetic: To the point I actually drive people away.
- Unstoppable Rage: Leading to Cluster F-Bomb and either subtle or straight out Ad Hominem. IRL, may involve flying furniture. Or my head flying into furniture. note
- Values Dissonance: Did you know "retard" is a word wantonly used by Brazilians? Yeah, I slip on that shit every time because of forgetting this is a sensible word in English-speaking places.
- Wikipedia Syntaxer: Averted, as I'm stupidly adaptive into learning both this site and Reddit's syntaxes.
People's Opinions of Me
Contributions to TV Tropes
- I am the man who took it to himself to make a Character Sheet for Blazing Souls Accelate, and added some more information and tropes related to the game on its main page. I'll need to resume on that.
- Along with Another Gamer and Drake Clawfang, I have lately taken to add information on the Final Fantasy Record Keeper pages.
- I also recommended some cool mods I found while playing Skyrim, the most notable one being Heart Breaker.
