(I'm not sure where this really belongs, so I'm putting it in YF for now. Mods, feel free to move it to Forum Games if you think it fits better there.)
The point of this thread is to list your favorite tropers and say what makes you like them so much. Please be specific; we already have Gushing About Shows You Like if you want to gush about TV Tropes or the Forums in general.
EDIT: Chopped the list because it's now quite outdated, and there are some comments in here that only made sense back in 2009 and may have even been a bit creepy.

Ah what the hell. I'll feel bad for excluding anyone, but I'll feel bad anyway. If you're not on the list, that doesn't mean I don't like you. It just means that it's 3:00 AM and I'm not listing every single Troper I like because that would just get stupid. Not even all the tropers I particularly like have wound up on this list. I'm just going off the old one with some slight changes.
- Aondeug: My first minion. She even eared the prestigious title of being 'a competent minion'. Fellow Yuri Fangirl, so +10 coolness points in my book.
- English Ivy: Interesting person, and someone I can relate to a lot. Someone I trust a lot, so +10 coolness points.
- AFGNCAAP: Another person I can relate to a lot. Has an interesting writing style, and could write some damn good Mind Fuck, so... +10 coolness points.
- Lull The Conqueror: First troper I really got to know. Never a boring day with him around. Helped push the madness that was Azumangelion to a point it probably never should be been pushed to. +10 coolness points.
- Lucky Revenant: Nice fellow, and someone who can actually understand my occasional Phantasy Star fangirling. +10 coolness points for that.
- Matrix: Sometimes makes the floors of the threads he pops up in a tad sticky, but otherwise a likable guy. Played City of Heroes with me and put up with my mild powergaming. Another +10 coolness points.
- William Wide Web: ARR HAIIIR EMPEROR WIRRIAMU WIDE WEBU! +10 REROOOOUSH! points.
- Mapi: Has a cute personality and renewed my addiction to Ragnarok Online. Also reads/watches yuri, so +10 coolness points.
- Goggle Fox: The Other Wiki if it was a troper. Still has not revealed his/her/its/etc. gender, which is quite a feat, and that earns Goggle +10 coolness points.
- Made Of Meat: A very... Curious person who has made Tv Tropes a more interesting place. Fellow mad scientist. The League of Questionable Intent would like to award Meaty with +10 coolness points.
- Haven: I'd like him, but as the villain, I am obligated by the story to hate him. +10 arch-nemesis points.
Special mention: Jethro Q. Walrustitty for having the best username on the fora.

From wikipedia:
The National Socialist German Workers' Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei , abbreviated NSDAP), commonly known in English as the Nazi Party (from the Ger. pronunciation of Nationalsozialist), was a political party in Germany between 1919 and 1945. It was known as the German Workers' Party (DAP) before the name was changed in 1920.
The party's last leader, Adolf Hitler, was appointed Chancellor of Germany by president Paul von Hindenburg in 1933. Hitler rapidly established a totalitarian regime known as the Third Reich.
Nazi ideology stressed the failures of communism and democracy. It also stressed the "racial purity of the German people", as well as Northwestern Europeans and persecuted those it perceived either as race enemies or Lebensunwertes Leben, that is "life unworthy of living". This included Jews, Slavs, and Roma along with homosexuals, the mentally and physically disabled, Communists and others. This persecution came to its climax when the party and the German state which it controlled organized the systematic murder of approximately six million Jews and six million other people from the aforementioned and other groups, in what has become known as the Holocaust. Hitler's desire to build a German empire through expansionist policies led to the outbreak of World War II in Europe.
The Nazi Party is generally described as being at the extreme or far right of the left-right political axis. While the party incorporated elements from both left and right-wing politics, the Nazis formed most of their alliances on the right. On the Nolan Chart, the Nazi party would be described as politically extreme right (authoritarian), and economically centrist.

...although nobody's said I was a psycho rapist before. Except SCIII, but that doesn't count." - Bobby G.Miij, all I need to say is that Phantasy Star Online is great and Zero was cool, but I haven't played in a while. I just haven't felt like charging my DS. Maybe I'll do that tonight?
Also, you're a cool girl. And stuff. But I said that in my last list. Sorta. So yeah.

"I can't imagine what Hell will have in store, but I know when I'm there, I won't wander anymore."Bwa-ha, I'm part of a new derail!
"I can't imagine what Hell will have in store, but I know when I'm there, I won't wander anymore."I didn't say I didn't get it. I just said I refuse.
Because I refuse.
Ecstasy is Sustained IntensityNothing happened/happens. We are all nothing in a void of nothingness imagining all of this to entertain ourselves amongst nothing.
It all returns to nothing.
