Wick Check sounds fine to me, though tbf the trope says nothing about the character "not being involved in story events"; just that they're defined by being...well, kind. Their most notable character trait is that they're friendly and kind to other characters; they can still be involved in the plot and have all sorts of depth otherwise, but their main character trait is their kindness.
Either that, or I need you to point out for me where the description outlaws the characters being involved in the plot.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallOh the description doesn't say that.The entry on Square Peg, Round Trope says that that's part of the trope so I thought was a secondary characteristic since it said that the character type usually lacks drama or conflict centered around them along with defining characteristic of being nice but I guess that's wrong
Macron's notesI think it more means that the characters aren't the type to get involved in petty conflicts with other characters; there's a difference between, say, not getting involved in a feud between characters, and not being involved in the work's actual plot. It seems to be saying that they're just the type to be relaxed and nonconfrontational, while other characters would pick fights or something.

Like Deadpan Snarker, Nice Guy is another popular established trope that has gotten huge amounts trope decay. The trope is supposed to about a character that is defined by their niceness and isnt really involved in the story events. Now it's used for character that shows an ounce of kindness or human decency even if they are a Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
To quote Administrivia.Square Peg Round Trope:
"Like the Deadpan Snarker before him, the Nice Guy distinguishes himself (or herself) from other characters by having his niceness, politeness, helpfulness, and lack of overt conflict/drama be his defining characteristic. However, much like how every character ever to make a sarcastic quip was soon labeled a Deadpan Snarker, now every character ever shown to have an ounce of kindness is being labeled Nice Guy even though it's far from their primary characteristic. Put simply: If you and/or the characters have to look for the niceness under a cold, harsh, or troubled exterior, then the character is not a Nice Guy. Please don't go slapping that label on every character who is not a complete Jerkass."
Do I make a clean up thread for it first and then if TRS is decided to be necessary take it there? Or should I gear up towards just doing the wick check and then take it to TRS?
