So this is an adaptation of an idea Elyle had a while ago and never got around to posting. For those of you unfamiliar with TV Tropes, it is basically the greatest thing ever, a collection of archetypes, plot devices, character traits, and other various tropes throughou film, television, literature, and other mediums. It will also consume you like a hungry black hole. So, for the purposes of this thread, what we get to do is dig through various lists of tropes like Characterization, Speculative Fiction, Combat, and various other categories - then pick a trope and apply it to someone else in the guild! I figure this will be a fun way for all of us to find out how the rest of the guild views our characters. A good way to get started would be to search for a TV show or book which one of the Riders reminds you of, and then go through the list of tropes there. For bonus points, describe someone's Crowning Moment of Awesome, or one of them. You can go ahead and do your own character if you want, too. I'll start with a few tropes. Loche: Everything Is Better With Spinning, Rival Turned Evil, Elyle: There Is No Kill Like Overkill, The Toblerone, Those Two Bad GuysTirith: Those Two Bad Guys, Technically A SmileIlarra: Devil In Plain SightUlthanon: Scarily Competent TrackerGenise: Ms. Fanservice

Carystin: The Cloudcuckoolander, PollyannaFells: Buffy Speak, Arthur Dent, Tsundere, and she'll have taken a level in Severe Badass when she hits a level cap and WoW ends apocalyptically. Shaila: The Cutie, Action Mom, Hartman Hips, and her favorite approach to battle; the Colossus Climb. Chryste: Action Girl, Les Yay, Breast PlateDelion: White-Haired Pretty Boy, Doomed New Clothes, and of course, Tsundere. You know it to be true.

Ulthanon: Given all of my misadventures with my auras, coal, getting my bow disarmed and suchlike, I really had to give myself the Even The Dog Is Ashamed trope.

Ale was kind of hard to find: Back From the DeadI can think of so many tropes that he WOULD be but they don't have anywhere on their lists, at least not that I've seen. I'll let you guys figure out how many people fit this one: Interspecies Romance
