Trope Namer Syndrome - The Game!

Go To

Here on TVT, we like to abide by Clear, Concise, Witty, and our titles tend to reflect that. But that's boring, and it's way more fun and unique to name tropes after our favorite characters... Even if they aren't character tropes, or tropes at all. And does that character technically not count as an example of the trope? Oh well, I'm sure people would get it anyway.

In this game, we're going to rectify these silly rules about "comprehensibility" and "fan myopia" and come up with characters who our favorite tropes should be named for. I mean, those knuckleheads in the TRS would never allow us, but we can at least pretend, amirite?

It works like most other games here. One person names a trope, the next person chooses a character that trope could be named for, and then they provide a trope for the person after them, and so on.

I'll start us with an easy one.
