No, see you'd be giving up Impact's control over our characters and replacing it with you, Geminex, having control over us, the players directly.

TV tropes bios? I've heard enough!

I have gained control over TV Tropes. I am no longer ensnared by its destructive time destroying grip!

So a bio for Charlotte will probably be written!

There's not a chance in hell I'm going to scour through a metric fuckton of TVTropes articles to make up a list for Pierce or Sophia or any other of my characters.

Not a chance in hell.

Oh, it's not THAT hard. There are specific indexes for characterization tropes, an index for morality, for idealism, and for military/combat roles. That in itself is sure to get you a quite a bit. Ah well, your choice.

*Found the "Ambition is Evil" one for Impact*

Looking forward to seeing what Bard pulls out for Charlotte, although I'm completely expecting the "Token Evil Teammate" one.

Bard The 5th LW · 08-08-2010, 06:59 PM

Alright, here are some tropes around Charlotte. Didn't search to hard though.

A God Am I: She is in possession of Arceus. Not quite a God Complex yet though.

Blood Knight: She is even willing to kill Children if they put up a good fight. She doesn't like it when they fight back though.

Christmas Cake: Being 30, she is one of the older members of PATCA. She doesn't really seek Romance though.

Evil Poacher: She likes to kill rare things and take trophies.

Fragile Speedster: Her pokemon don't really focus on Defense. Offense and Speed are more what she specializes with.

Fan Preferred Couple: With Shannon.

Kick the Dog: She shot Moon on the first mission. She also kicks Spitz on several occasions.

Kill 'em All: Although she usually isn't allowed.

Neutral Evil: She works with a law enforcement group, but she doesn't really care what happens as long as she benefits.

Theme Naming: All of her Canine Pokemon are named after the dogs in 'Call of The Wild.' Her Aerodactyl is also named after John Hammond from Jurassic Park.

Token Evil Teammate: She is the only outright evil member of the team, with the possible exception of Impact. She is less subtle though, and commonly complains that she doesn't get to kill enough.

Not to mention if she goes Slayer I proposed a Signature Technique just like that! Well, except it was called "Kick The Puppy".

Hell, even if she doesn't go Slayer, she could still use it a co-op, except changing the effect. Something like kicking one of her pokemon and lowering their defense and special defense by two levels in exchange for raising the attack, special attack and speed by four or six levels.

Now I have this image in my head of Charlotte punting Spitz like a football at an enemy.

I was going to put Morality Pet for Buck, but then I figured that he doesn't do much to make her a better person.

He sure doesn't. ^^'

Out of curiousity, are you going to give Arceus a theme name too?

Bard The 5th LW · 08-08-2010, 07:24 PM

Probably not.

Charlotte probably wouldn't bother naming a legendary. They are pretty unique already.

Menarker · 08-08-2010, 07:34 PM

Fair enough.

For a moment, I thought there was another trope for Charlotte since she is the only one who actually give names to her pokemons, even though she treats them like weapons. The closest trope I know (I call it Vera) is much too heartwarming as opposed to Charlotte being pretty insympathic and mean to them (as well as everyone else).
