One day we're gonna have to find out what character creation system the various deities use.
'I'll show him a martyr! I'm going to do die SO HARD'Whatever it was, I'm willing to bet that a lot of tropers were designed with The Loonie in mind. I probably was.
"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~MadrugadaI am frequently described as being of inconsistent/incomprehensible design; not a very coherent character. I am real.
Some writing.I looked once for a truly descriptive trope to put in my title. Moments later, I opened my userpage for trope suggestions. There are so many; I can't pin one down for myself.
Some writing.Maybe the wisdom Odin got the first time wasn't enough? If I remember my Norse mythology correctly, he didn't learn the runes until the second time, which seems to suggest that he was right.
He's hardcore that way.
I will keep my soul in a place out of sight, Far off, where the pulse of it is not heard.Whenever I hear "Odin", I think of the guy who works for my dad who got drunk and passed out on a tank.
Do you think a half-Nuckelavee characters who still causes blight and is skinless and stuff, but has Power Incontinence and legs of their own is too "Mary Sue halfling without the disadvantages of the mosnter parent"-ish? She still has a deep bond with the horse and dies if it dies, and the horse was in the womb with her. I'm still unsure if she has legs, just skinless ones, or if she ends at the pelvis.

You know, I'd like to see Cosmetic Catastrophe subverted more often.
The reason I'm fourteen and can apply makeup competently is because I started practicing when I was ten. I choose not to wear it most of the time, but I can put it on without looking like a hookerclown.
WWW: Yes, it's an self-insert that goes way past the usual self-insert, to the point where him and me are pretty much one and the same. And it's not really a self-insert as much as the other way around.
Maybe learning databending pushes him over the Point of Sue Return. I could probably cut that out without much effect on continuity.

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.I have this idea: Does the Westermarck Effect affect married couples?
As for what character I am, I've got no idea. For a while I had tropes on my troper page that I thought fit me, but upon closer analysis, I don't think so anymore. So I removed them and opened my page. Don't think anyone's edited it yet though, but that's understandable.
As for Flash Forward, it reminds me of an idea I had a while back. I hope it's good.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure my idea was wrong. Or however you want to put it.

Why does this make me laugh?
Hi guys.
"You fail to grasp the basic principles of mad science. Common sense would be cheating." - Narbonic@mellon: because that's not at all an encyclopedial tone.

What's the frequency Kenneth?|In case of war.Because it smacks of Purple Prose. Other Wiki shouldn't have so much opinion in a few sentances.

"You fail to grasp the basic principles of mad science. Common sense would be cheating." - NarbonicDo we have a trope for looting and plundering towns? Not plunder, the villainous equivalent.
Anyway, I've got "Sacking The Town" in YKTTW if anyone wants to help.
Would the standard phrase be Raping And Pillaging? A quick search shows no trope for that at least.
You must agree, my plan is sheer elegance in its simplicity! My TumblrOh, I didn't think of that. Sacking The Town is much more specific, but lemme see what I can do.
Does anybody else like the Starcraft backstory, or is it just me?

No, but creativity, eternal youth, knowledge or strength would be nice. I'd take any of those.
