The Narrator 2:13am, October 22, 2012 [Edit] [Delete] As this is always a popular thing, I've decided to bring it back once more! You know the rules, choose a character from your handle list or two and list at least three-to-five tropes pertaining to that character with a brief explanation as to why those tropes in particular. Severus of Somnium. Royals who actually do something: Shadow leader of the thieves guild, a minor adventurer, prominent member of the Science Guild and third place winner in a swordfighters competition as a boy. Of late, his works have ended up including fighting a dragon in single combat,establishing a new realm, inventing the airships in Grimm Lore and killing Big Bad Kaldis in battle(He got better) and prior to that, killing the assassin of Olath Solaris in a Trial By Combat. Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Ivonne to the point its a running gag for a few outsiders like Inara Von Constanze. If You Ever Do Anything To Hurt Her: Invoked by him in a conversation with Prince Julian, when he realizes how much hinges on the alliance that will make him loose Ivonne. Swashbuckler: His usual role in the party, though his official class is Rogue. Mad Scientist Laboratory:He has one beneath the Science Guild foundations. Now is in charge of one at Castle Frankenstein. Determinator:Refused to stay down, no matter how badly he was beat up during the Somnium Costume Ball boss battle. Reassigned to Antarctica:Or in this case, Castle Frankenstein with the understanding that his new role in life is to make weapons. He doesn't take this well. Deal with the Devil:And how. Love Hurts: Understatement of the year. Large Ham: Slowly(and by slowly, meaning coasting over the speed limit with no signs of stopping) but surely. Shout-Out: "Lord Victor Van Damne", alter ego for Severus during his Warlord time. Wears a cloak with a hood, armor and lives in a castle, ruling his own private realm. Ring any bells? Pair the Smart Ones: Need I say more? Love Makes you Evil: Subverted, that no matter what plans he made that would have granted him powerful benefits, up to and including an opportunity to kidnap Ivonne and keep her with him when she visits his realm, he can't do it if only because its better to live in utter misery then to see her hate him and later, at the edge of a battle he even tries to settle things once and for all to let her go, before it works out anyway.

A fact that causes her Paladin father to spit-take. Is also best friends with Synthia. Colonel Badass: Is commander of a fort of men on the border pre-war where she ruled with an iron fist in a velvet glove. With the war oncoming, she'll be heading to the front. Military Brat: Her father is a Paladin, former army and in a family of pre-dominant spellcasters she opted to follow in his footsteps instead. Mama Bear: Fairly recently, she has a halfling child without a family and has informally adopted her. Woe betide any who use her to get to her. Pretty in Mink: Subverted, as said mink wrap is actually a worg skin she killed to prove herself to Barbarian clan allies when she was first assigned to that part of the world.   Tito Devale 9:16pm, October 27, 2012 [Edit] [Delete] Not All there:Tito after what has happened so far  Elris Sauvgarde Opa 6:45pm, October 28, 2012 [Edit] [Delete] Winds of Destiny, Change: What Feruchemy amounts to with her chromium metalminds. Can store luck by being unlucky to be lucky later Sweet Polly Oliver: Usually in full armor and wears a helm to disguise her voice when doing knightly things. The monastery she was raised at is a bit... old fashioned Time stands still: can creates bubbles of this around her with allomancy. Not quite stand still, but incredibly slowed down Knight Errant Honor before reason: Won't use her powers in a fair fight, and won't attack an enemy unawares, among other things Keep the reward: She'll happily accept supplies and a knight's rest (dat pun), but anything more substantial she usually turns down Implausible fencing powers: Due to her luck powers The klutz: Usually stores luck when not in combat. With this unfortunate side effect. Lawful good Warrior monk: very rooted in faith Fantastic racism: Was raised to fight and defeat monsters, and is fairly sure of herself that all of their kind are evil by default Edited 9:03pm, October 28, 2012 by Opa, author.  Alaelaoui the First Opa 3:25am, November 04, 2012 [Edit] [Delete] Blow you away: Very skilled with her wind powers Artificial human: Or fae rather, but not a being of the natural world nature nonetheless Cheerful child: When jerks with glasses aren't calling her dumb Desperately looking for purpose in life: not really desperately yet, though only been a few months Ditzy genius. Not entirely her, but only being 6 months old has given her all of no experience, yet she's was created with an in depth understanding of military tactics, alchemy, magic, hand to hand combat, interrogation, and pretty much everything else an aspiring dark lord would need. Infinity+1 sword: Worldender. A massive greatsword made of pure black antimagic with a bevy or horrendous powers. Also way bigger than she could possibly use, double her size. she keeps it power limited into a mundane shortsword Pint sized powerhouse: Five feet one hundred pounds of adorable terror power incontinence: She never really uses wyldmagic on purpose due to having no control over its effect, but it has a tendency to pop out anyways when she's excited. Random spell effect: Her greatest power was to be control over magic itself. It happened in a vague sense, but only in that she can fire beams of energy that can do literally anything to whatever they hit. Tykebomb: what she was supposed to be. Didn't really work out that way Younger than they look: All of six months old  Olath Solaris The Narrator 10:52am, April 27, 2013 [Edit] [Delete] Standard Evil Organization Squad: Made up of members as varied as World Assassins to Demi-Gods to Eldritch Abominations, they've established themselves early on as the Big Bad in the shadows. Legion of Doom: Most of the members had shown up as either cameo bosses, or as two-faced protagonists. All of them, having had a brush with or having fought one heroic group or the other. Enigmatic Minion: The Old Man of the Sea. Arguably one of the most powerful members, having been around for one of the longest(has spoken personally to Hercules) and thus far, seems to be in a mutually beneficial deal with the group for his own ends. The Dragon: Mr. Dark, the groups Eldritch Abomination in spades who's insinuated to be a major player, yet contents himself with carrying out the groups plans and schemes on the sidelines. The Chessmaster: Where do we begin? Most obvious example is Lord Jericho Formido. An Illusionist Serial Killer in Somnium who was finally caught and imprisoned for life, in the at the time, greatest security facility in all the land... According to his plans. Five-Bad Band: The Lightbringer, Mr. Dark or Lord Formido, depending on the situation, Matthias Blackdawn, Ardin Vesper though with him gone, Dire Spider seems to have taken on the role and finally, Xiu Juan. Magnificent Bastard: Balthazar and the Lightbringer. So much. One is a fallen god, turned demon who orchestrated the fall of Camelot and is currently running a war in the background and the other is his wife, who in public runs a religion designed to empower him and her with its followers and on weekends, runs the most dangerous Organizations in the known world. Most of the trouble in the setting is due to both of their actions.  Ala ad-Dinn The Narrator 11:16am, April 27, 2013 [Edit] [Delete] Deadpan Snarker: So, so much. OOC AND IC. Dark and Troubled Past: Seen only via visions and hints, but its obvious enough for those who've read between the lines. The Woobie: His father left him and his mother when he was a child, forcing him to steal to support his mother who sank into depression. Was supposedly rescued by a relative, who turned out to be someone who wanted to use him as an ultimately disposable pawn. Used the lamp genie to marry the princess and used the ring genie to risk his life to save her, only to use the ring again when she found out who he was and tried to kill him. And recently, teamed up with Sir Elris Sauvgarde, was left by her, teamed up with her again and was rejected romantically by her, despite the fact that he had no intentions of sharing any inkling of how he truly felt, though it came out anyway. Ouch. Chick Magnet: Has one of the highest charisma levels in the chat. Recently managed to charm a hand maiden to the Embodiment of Winter, though any attraction was one-sided on her end. Lovable Rogue: Well, it IS Aladdin after all. The Trickster: One of the ways he's survived as long as he has, considering his run of luck. Ladykiller in Love: Both before and after the rejection, though in a subversion he takes care to never cross the line with her after they spoke of it. Undying Loyalty/Sarcastic Devotee: Both towards Elris. Professional Killer: He IS a member of the Hassassin's. Its how he first made his debut, ordered to kill a certain knight in the throne room of the man he was working for at the time... Nice Guy: Used to be this, has changed and is slowly, but surely becoming this again. Dreadful Musician: Subverted and played straight. He sings like a fish, but he plays music like a fiend, in the words of his best friend. Breaking the Reviewers Wall: Is the poster boy for this, and usually is the host of the Omake sessions for Grimm Wars. Song Parody: Has done one of Lady Gaga and the Modern Major General song. The first one has resulted in him being run out of the village and subsequently, anyone who wanders in with a lute is shot on sight.
