The TV Tropes meme (again)
That's right, once again: Post your character's tropes! Then other people can reply with suggestions! Or don't even wait for the prompt! Go absolutely sligshit! What do I care! It's not like I have any control over the raging mass of stymied adolescent emotions I c-
I mean uh have fun with the meme.
I mean uh have fun with the meme.
Lafiel:
Was a champion at a zero g version of this in the academy.
The Chains of Commanding (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheChainsOfCommanding)
Was this on Basroil. Seems to have taken it up again with her position on Rogue Squadron and being the last Abh empress. Granted she has one subject but when that subject is Spaurh...
Defrosting Ice Queen (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefrostingIceQueen)
Very slowly.
Fantastic Racism (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FantasticRacism)
Often does this towards ordinary humans (or "landers" in Abh terminology). Doesn't really mean anything bad by it.
First Name Basis (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FirstNameBasis)
Reversed. She's rather uncomfortable by most people on the ship calling each other by their first name and often calls people by their proffesional titles.
Mayfly December Romance (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MayflyDecemberRomance)
This was developing with Jinnto in canon. Will be an issue if things ever take off with Meluly.
Overly Long Name (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OverlyLongName)
Deca Commander and Acting Empress Abriel Ne Dobrusc Boerh Paryunu Lafiel. She just keeps adding them!
Royals Who Actually Do Something (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething)
Abh nobles are expected to serve a long time in the military. Lafiel got a head start by joining at age 13.
Strange Salute (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StrangeSalute)
Abh salute is palm down with middle and index fingers touching the forehead
The Stoic (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheStoic)
Abriels are not allowed to cry
Tsundere (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Tsundere)
Type A.
Unusual User Interface (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnusualUserInterface)
Abh interface with their ships through an organ in their foreheads.
UST (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UST)
Tons of it, with Meluly
Will They or Won't They? (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WillTheyOrWontThey)
Also with Meluly.
Sheeana and the Bene Gesserit in general
Is this in relation to prescience, due to being a descendant of Siona.
Black and Grey Morality (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlackAndGrayMorality)
And how!
Charles Atlas Superpower (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CharlesAtlasSuperpower)
Bene Gesserit training doesn't make you any physically stronger than regular martial arts training. It does give you a level of control over your bodily functions that should be impossible though.
Dead Guy Junior (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeadGuyJunior)
Invoked with her name's resemblance to that of Siona Atreides' by a priest. Justified, in that she does turn out to be a descendant of hers.
Deus Sex Machina (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeusSexMachina)
Yeah. Not going into detail on this one.
Doomed Home Town (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DoomedHomeTown)
Counting the Ohm destroying her home universe, this has happened to her three times, on increasingly larger scales.
Emotions Vs Stoicism (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EmotionsVsStoicism)
The BG in general distrust strong emotions. Her teacher was a "heretic" who believed in love for its own sake, so she's more emotional than most BG. Which isn't saying very much at all.
Flash Step (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FlashStep)
Part of the Weirding Way
Gender Restricted Ability (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GenderRestrictedAbility)
BG training is usually not given to men.
Genetic Memory (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GeneticMemory)
"Other Memory" is literally this.
Klatchian Coffee (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KlatchianCoffee)
Spice can do this
Living Lie Detector (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LivingLieDetector)
Truthsense
Nakama (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Nakama)
The Bene Gesserit spend a long time denying that they are this to each other. She seems to have come down on the "yes we are" side of the argument.
Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions)
Subverted so hard. It's fifteen thousand years in the future and Sheeana becoming a messiah figure is still very much a viable idea.
Parental Incest (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ParentalIncest)
Her only canonical crush is on a clone of her many times great grandfather
Parental Substitute (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ParentalSubstitute)
Darwi Odrade may have been this.
Ragtag Bunch of Misfits (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RagtagBunchOfMisfits)
Stacy's Bene Gesserit seem to be all the order's misfits. Their two new acolytes aren't exactly normal either.
Really Gets Around (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ReallyGetsAround)
Not explaining this one either except to say it's part of her job. She doesn't exactly find it a chore though...
School of Sedution (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SchoolOfSeduction)
Part of BG training...
Stalker with a Test Tube (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StalkerWithATestTube)
...often to aid in this.
Sandworms (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SandWorm) (yes, they're their own trope)
Sand is Water (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SandIsWater)
She often thinks this way, due to her Fremen upbringing
The Messiah (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheMessiah)
Narrowly avoids having to be this
Xanatos Gambit (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/XanatosGambit)
She is the heir to a truly epic one, spanning thousands of years. Also to a lesser extent did this during the Holiday mission in the Middle East.
Re: Sheeana and the Bene Gesserit in general
A rare in-universe example, with her penchant for making disturbing sculptures.
Yuri Otani
Adults are Useless (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AdultsAreUseless)
Played straight in canon. Subverted on Stacy.
Body Horror (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror)
Most of Yuri's interaction with her borg
The Chick (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheChick)
This is her role among the kidlets. She's quite a bit more useful in a fight than, say, Vega though, although she'll cry the whole time.
Fragile Flower (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FragileFlower)
Justified in that this is how psychologically healthy eleven year olds react to the events of her canon, and to a lesser extent, Stacy.
Japanese Sibling Terminology (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JapaneseSiblingTerminology)
Applies this to Jaime, Miku and Nanoha.
Magical Girl (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MagicalGirl)
Her story is a subversion of the genre.
Prehensile Hair (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PrehensileHair)
What Borg's drilltacles actually are.
Trickster Monster (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TricksterMentor)
More like terrifying monster mentor: Red Snout has taken it upon himself to toughen her up. He thinks this is for her own good.
The Woobie (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheWoobie)
Oh so much.
Isaac Dan Der Grimnebulin
Badass Bookworm (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadassBookworm)
Isaac, in spite of being a scientist, holds his own against the city's militia with some well-lobbed chemicals, not to mention taking on monsters that Hell itself was too scared to fight
Acrofatic (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Acrofatic)
While only a little overweight, he certainly seems to have endurance more fitting for a man half his size.
Fat and Skinny (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FatAndSkinny)
Him and Wyn. You cannot get this idea out of your head now.
Gainaxing (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Gainaxing)
*repeatedly beaten*During the podp-
HomeMade Inventions (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomemadeInventions)
His job, basically.
Interspecies Romance (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesRomance)
With Lin
MacGyvering (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MacGyvering)
Once made an unlimited energy machine out of basically spare parts.
Post Modern Magik (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PostModernMagik)
To him, it's a science.
The Rival (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheRival)
Thinks he's this to Wyn. Couldn't be more wrong.
Tsundere (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Tsundere)
Seems to have a thing for this type
no subject
Beast Man (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BeastMan) - After a while, he'll be over 50% dragon, and will have lost a lot of his humanity. At which point he'll be one of these.
Changed My Jumper (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChangedMyJumper) - his hodge-podge mix of clothing was chosen for this purpose - he got tired of trying to blend in in every era, so just picked his favorite pieces from different eras and mixed them. For the most part, people just don't care.
Clock Roach (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ClockRoaches) - This is the roll of the Guardians, and will eventually become his job.
Connecticut Yankee (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ConnecticutYankee) - this is how he first traveled. However, he couldn't communicate with anyone, and had to create a sign language.
Everyone Is Bi (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EveryoneIsBi) - He, and the two other time travelers he knows, are all bisexual.
Genki Girl (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GenkiGirl) - er, boy.
I’m Mr. Future Pop Culture Reference (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ptitlekmq2pq8v) - One of his aliases is 'Henry Gale', after the uncle from Wizard of Oz. It's only a future reference up to 1900, though.
Laser Guided Amnesia (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LaserGuidedAmnesia) - A little less effective then most, since his didn't just erase the events he screwed up, but got rid of five full years of memories.
Lawful Nuetral (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LawfulNeutral) - The higher order he subscribes to is the preservation of time. This can lead to some awkward times when he sides with known villains who will create the proper future.
Lego Genetics (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LegoGenetics) - Erm. Yes. About that dragon thing...
Never The Selves Shall Meet (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NeverTheSelvesShallMeet) - This is very, very, very forbidden for Rei. It is very difficult to cross his own personal timeline, so it rarely happens. However, the one time it did, he almost destroyed a timeline and got five years of his memory ripped out of his brain.
Nice Hat (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NiceHat) - purple zoot hat with a green feather. It is very nice, if well worn.
Pointy Ears (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PointyEars) - Originally, the pointed ears were a mistake that I drew him with back in middle school. But I liked the way they looked, and rolled with it, starting the whole turning-into-a-dragon thing.
Ripple Proof Memory (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RippleEffectProofMemory)
Spider Sense (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpiderSense) - Or, Precognition. He's got a version of it.
Status Quo is God (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StatusQuoIsGod) - subverted, in that Rei doesn't care if the timeline changes or not, with the exception of a few big events.
Temporal Mutability (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TemporalMutability)
- and, while we're on that subject, his time travel consists of a mix of Rubber Band History (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RubberBandHistory), where things mostly get worked out in the end, and Temporal Balancing Act, where he can travel and not change anything at all.
The Call Knows Where You Live (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive) - His family didn't die, but they (and the rest of history) all forgot about him.
Time Travel (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TimeTravel)
You Can’t Go Home Again (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitle024v6ql5duby?from=Main.YouCantGoHomeAgain) - he can go back to Rio, but since he never existed to his family, he can never really be 'home'. He does own a small apartment in Rio circa late 80s/early 90s, but he's only there sporadically.
I'm totally not ripping off the MGLN Character Sheet >.>
BFS (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BFS) - Bardiche's Zanber Form.
Badass Adorable (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadassAdorable) - Doesn't matter if she's 19 now, she's still friggen' moe.
Beamspam (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BeamSpam) - Not as good at it as Nanoha is, but you definitely don't want to be on the receiving end of a Trident Smasher.
BSoD (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroicBSOD) - Had a pretty harsh one in the first season: her mother Precia revealed that Fate was just a clone of Precia's real daughter, Alicia. She just created Fate as a replacement until she had enough Jewel Seeds to help her revive Alicia. She then went on to say that Fate was a failure and was nothing like Alicia, and disowned her and told her she always hated her. Cue BSoD. She also ALMOST had another one in StrikerS, when the Big Bad was Hannibal Lecturing her on how her treatment of Erio and Caro was no different than how her mother used her. Luckily the two kids heard everything and were able to pull her out of it quickly.
Cloning Blues (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CloningBlues) - See above. It was also brought up again in season 2 when the enemies were revealed to be artificial programs used to protect the MacGuffin. Someone mentioned that although they look like it, they're not human and Fate wonders if, as a clone, she should count as a person too.
Dark Magical Girl (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DarkMagicalGirl) - In the first season. See, she's even the trope example image!
Fragile Speedster (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FragileSpeedster) - Fate's specialty is speed, and she's not that good with defense. Taken to the extreme in Sonic Form, where it's said that one solid hit to her in this form would be enough to nearly kill her.
Genetic Memory (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GeneticMemory) - The memories of her first nine years of life are all the memories of the girl she was supposed to replace.
Lady of War (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LadyOfWar) - She's softspoken, kind, a little shy, and can kick massive amounts of ass.
Les Yay (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HoYay?from=Main.LesYay) - ... I don't need to explain this one, do I?
Love Martyr (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LoveMartyr) - Oh Fate. 8( No matter what Precia did to her, Fate continued her mission out of love for her mother. Even now, she still loves her.
Tykebomb (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Tykebomb) - She was this in the first season.
The Woobie (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheWoobie) - Read the BSoD mentioned above. Now throw in the fact that Fate's mother horribly abused her on-screen(and it's implied that she's done it more than once). And top it off with the fact that at the time? Fate was only nine years old.
And add in the horrible dreams from the last round and the one I'm planning next oh god.Tell me you don't want to give the girl a hug.Vivio Takamachi
Cloning Blues (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CloningBlues) - Suffers briefly with this during the tear-jerking Crowning Moment of Heartwarming in the second to last episode of StrikerS
Jumped at the Call (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JumpedAtTheCall) - Did this after being reunited with Nanoha in the January podpop. Nanoha subverted it for her.
Child Mage (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChildMage) - Just like her mamas before her!
Plot Relevant Age Up (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotRelevantAgeUp) - Thanks to her own magic and Sacred Heart, she can do this all the time!
Black Magicial Girl (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlackMagicialGirl) - Briefly in StrikerS.
Tykebomb (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Tykebomb) - Vivio was created to activate a superweapon. Now? She just want to be like her mamas, who were tykebombs themselves!
A Friend In Need (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AFriendInNeed) - Helps out Yuri after one of her nightmares then is helped when Nanoha and Fate start avoiding each other.
Mismatched Eyes (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MismatchedEyes) - Vivio has a green eye and a red eye
I know I'm missing a few, since I'm kinda running outta time (work. Rar.) Anyone else can help fill this in for me!

Canon Tropes:
Badass Bookworm:
Evolved from Non-Action Guy to this during canon.
Blind Without 'Em:
He wears plantglasses in his normal form, and the Ranger helmet's visor has corrective lenses. Without either, everything looks like the Blur tool turned up to 11.
Chick Magnet:
Had about five 'girlfriends' in canon, compared to the other guys' one or two. On the meatship, though, he lands squarely in the Friend Zone with every girl he meets.
Curious As A Monkey:
Most peoples' reaction to being suddenly teleported from their normal lives to a high-tech command center when such things are unheard of would not be "Wow, this place is magnificent!" *plays with all the buttons*
Hollywood Nerd:
Type 2. Attractive, but wears glasses. Actually quite buff.
Megane:
Male version of Meganekko. Sweet, shy, cute.
HenshinMorphin Hero:One of the meatship's weaker examples.
Recruit Teenagers With Attitude:
How he got his job. MMPR's the Trope Namer, so this one's a gimme.
Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness
Less of a problem than in his early days, though he's prone to fits of it occasionally.
Shirtless Scene:
The only aversion in MMPR's male cast. :*(
Teen Genius/The Smart Guy
Well, duh.
Transmigration Nine Tropes:
Author Appeal:
The main reason why Stacy didn't give him eye surgery in podsleep. Glasses are awesome, okay?
Engineered Public Performance:
Non-villainous, used against Adam as a labor of love
Head Pet:
Renne, occasionally.
Improbable Age:
Who let a 16 year old be half a department head, again? Even if he looks 25.
Manic Pixie Dream Girl:
Wyn, to him.
My Greatest Failure:
B5's death. So far.
Psychic Link:
With Renne
Will edit more in later if I think of them
Unable to Navigate But...

Man Hug (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ManHug) with Jaime. A couple times.

The Slacker (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheSlacker)
Brains and Brawn (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrainsAndBrawn) with Brenda, although one incident had Brenda running for help and Paco helping Jaime science a time-traveler. IDK.
Nakama (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Nakama) with Jaime and Brenda.
Power Trio (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PowerTrio) with Jaime and Brenda. Paco's the Id.
Three Amigos (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThreeAmigos) with -- guess who! -- Jaime and Brenda
Weapon of Choice (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WeaponOfChoice). See icon. We'll have to see how the stick holds up to the Cyborg Arm of Awesomeness!
Distracted By The Sexy (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DistractedByTheSexy) "He needs our help with his sexy fight!"
Wouldn't Hit A Girl (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ptitledr2p2k8t?from=Main.WouldntHitAGirl). Because only scumbag assholes like Brenda's unlamented late father hit girls.
Angst What Angst (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AngstWhatAngst). Most of the crew's got it, but between their universes being gone, getting taken over by the Sub-Visser, and getting his arm torn off, Paco's determined to In Denial that sucker as far as it'll take him.
Disappeared Dad (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DisappearedDad) Headcanon. We've never heard or seen anything about Paco's dad in the comics. Then again, after 36 issues and a dozen back-ups, we STILL don't know Paco's actual last name either.
no subject
Modest Royalty (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ModestRoyalty)
Royals Who Actually Do Something (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething) -- When she's not saving the universe(s) with the rest of the Legion, she's getting her younger brother's help in securing better working conditions for the raccoon people on Orando.
Master of Illusion (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MasterOfIllusion). Non-villainous, thankyouverymuch!

Jumped At The Call (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JumpedAtTheCall) -- she auditioned for the Legion. And when her father made her come back to Orando, she jumped at the call again to go rescue Chameleon.

Token Nonhuman (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TokenNonhuman)oid -- Most of the Legionnaires are from human-based races. Of the Loads and Loads of Characters, only three of them are not bipedal.
Nakama (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Nakama) -- The Legion of Superheroes, full-stop.
Eternal English (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EternalEnglish) -- Subverted! Jeka and the other Legionnaires are speaking Interlac. Hence the funky swearwords.
Nice Hat (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NiceHat) -- Have you ever seen a giant snake wearing a bowler hat?
Princesses Prefer Pink (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PrincessesPreferPink) -- I can only assume that's what they were going for when they redesigned her...
Also:
Intellectual Animal (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IntellectualAnimal) -- Sortakinda. Except she's totally cool with humans.
the ship as a whole, groups and events (feel free to tag in to this thread)
Due to the differing moral tones of all the canons and a source of much conflict. One of the things that keeps this place interesting.
Distaff/Spear Counterpart (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DistaffCounterpart)
On a group level with the Jedi and the Bene Gesserit. This is likely due to the massive number of things George Lucas lifted from Frank Herbert.
Five Man Band (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FiveManBand)
The kidlets.
The Leader-Roxie (serious and driven type) also shares duty as The Big Guy
The Lancer-Vega, Yuri's borg at his more petulant
The Smart Guy-Sherry
The Chick-Yuri
Team Pet-the talking dog with power armor character who hangs out with Sherry whose name I cannot recall, Yuri's borg. Vega would like his Zoid to be this, but everyone else is terrified of it.

Alien Arts Are Appreciated (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlienArtsAreAppreciated) -- Humans have some fucking awesome shit, yo. Like vinegar. And coffee. And These Messages.
Aliens Steal Cable (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AliensStealCable). And power lines.
Almighty Janitor (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlmightyJanitor) -- Because no one's been around to promote him. At the end of the series, he becomes the youngest Prince in history.
Big Eater (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigEater) -- So as it turns out, eating an entire tray of Cinnabons is a bad plan.
Bishonen (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Bishonen) -- AKA "a weirdly pretty guy".
Blunt Metaphors Trauma (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BluntMetaphorsTrauma) -- "You cannot have my body. My bo. Dee."
Humans Through Alien Eyes (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HumansThroughAlienEyes) -- Humans are weird. Kind of awesome, but mostly WEIRD.

Proud Warrior Race Guy (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ProudWarriorRaceGuy) -- Proper Andalite warriors are expected to be Warrior Scientists, technically.
Raised By Wolves (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RaisedByWolves) -- Not actually, just seems like it in human morph. He has helped raise skunks, though.
Sense Freak (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SenseFreak) -- Taste is AWESOME.
Sixth Ranger (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SixthRanger)
The Smart Guy (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheSmartGuy) -- shares this position with Marco back home.
Some Call Me Tim (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SomeCallMeTim) -- We're just lucky that Marco didn't decide to call him "Milly".
Spock Speak (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpockSpeak)
Token Nonhuman (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TokenNonhuman) -- unless you count Tobias.
Trademark Favorite Food (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TrademarkFavoriteFood) -- Cinnabons. Also, in a canon AU where he never met the Animorphs, Oreos.
Free hints for Marco and Tobias: Animorphs' Character Sheets (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/Animorphs)
Open Heart Dentistry -- Guess who's had brain surgery performed on him in a barn? Ax has!
Aliens Speaking English (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AliensSpeakingEnglish) -- translator chip thingy allows him to understand English, but apparently not Portuguese.
Always Someone Better (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlwaysSomeoneBetter?from=Main.TheMinnesotaFats) -- Hi Elfangor. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OpenHeartDentistry) ()
no subject
Adults Are Useless (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AdultsAreUseless) -- Jonas thinks this. Admittedly, it's kind of headcanon-y.
The Woobie -- ouch, Cassie. Ouch.
Crapsack World (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrapsackWorld?from=Main.WorldHalfEmpty) -- Marvel 616.
Person of Mass Destruction (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PersonOfMassDestruction) -- He's actually LIMITING his abilities, sticking to the things the old Vision could do. He can do a lot more.
Willfully Weak (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WillfullyWeak) -- Not "weak" but certainly not using anywhere near all of his abilities.
Screw The Rules I'm Doing What's Right (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitleeym5vv2h?from=Main.ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight) -- This is how he views neither registering nor giving up being a hero after Civil War.
Time Travel (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TimeTravel) -- This is why everyone hates Kang. That and the conquering. And his helmet's stupid.
Clonging Blues (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CloningBlues) -- He doesn't have these, but he thinks Cassie might think he should.

Intangible Man (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IntangibleMan) (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheWoobie) ()
I KNOW THERE HAS TO BE A TROPE FOR PEOPLE/RACES LITERALLY CREATED BY MAGIC.
Badass Crew - Again, the regiment and the girls. 8D
Fire Forged Friends - Kang and Slith. They didn't quite get along at first, but now they're BFF's.
Always Chaotic Evil - The original portrayal of draconians. Subverted, though~
Badass Normal - Hell yes.
Colour Coded For Your Convenience - Metallic draconians tend to be evil in nature, while chromatics tend to be good.
Crowning Moment of Heartwarming - There's a moment when it's mentioned that Kang used to play with the females when they were little by pretending to be a bear and chasing them around the fire. Oh, and when the girls were first found and hatched.
Ensemble Darkhorse - Weis and Perrin didn't originally intend on writing more than one short story about Kang and his group.
Eternal English - Common is English.
Fantastic Racism - Draconians don't like elves or metallic dragons. Or kender, but who does except for other kender?
Hikaru Genji Plan - Completely necessary, though, so it's waaaaaay less creepy. 8|
It's Raining Men - Draconians used to glide down from dragonback during battle.
Lizard Folk - Draconians. Don't ever call them lizardmen, though.
Elite Mooks - Again, draconians. At least, during the War of the Lance.
Cannon Fodder - The regiment was bumped down to infantry for a while by some jackass human who thought that was all they were good for. :|
Monogender Monsters - For the first forty years only, due to females not being allowed to hatch and hidden away.
Punch Clock Villian - He only really fought in the war because he was created for it.
Taking You With Me - Each type of draconian does something different. Kang's bones, for example, will explode.
A Father To His Men - Ohhhh yeah.
The Men First - He always fought in battle right alongside the others.
Parental Abandonment - The metallic dragons swore an oath of neutrality to Takhisis when their eggs were stolen to protect them, but when they found out what was being done with their eggs... well. Now they consider their children perversions and will kill them, calling it mercy.
Tired of Running - Kang's given at least one of these speeches.
It Has Been An Honor - At least one of these, too.
MacGyvering - Building a fake dragon that was also an explosive. Oh, and though this one was accidental, launching a minotaur from a catapult to kill a dragon.
no subject
Love Epiphany - It's not until Huzzad points out that Fon's in love with Kang that he starts noticing how much he cares about her.
One Head Taller - Literally. She's, like, eight inches shorter than him.
Scars Are Forever - His right hand! It's covered in scars, and has a good deal of nerve damage (though the nerve damage was recently fixed in-game).
Overprotective Dad - Do. Not. Mess with his kids.
Gone Horribly Right - They turned out to be smarter than planned, though they did side with their creators. For a while, at least. :D;
The Dog Bites Back - Neraka. And Sanction.
Heel Face Turn - Sanction. 8|
Tyke Bomb - Literally created to be shock troops for the War of the Lance.
The Spartan Way - Uh. Yeah. The hatcheries were not pleasant.
no subject
Zelda
Legacy Character - the backstory for The Adventure of Link describes a long-ago Princess Zelda cursed into eternal sleep. Her grieving brother (who was responsible in the first place for the curse) ordered that every girl in the Royal Family be named Zelda from that point on. More to the point, she STARTS the legacy of Princess Zeldas bearing the Triforce of Wisdom and helping the Hero, Link.
Princesses Prefer Pink - ...pinkish-purple.
Everything's Better With Princesses - even though her father's death leaves her the last remaining member of the Royal Family, she's still referred to exclusively as Princess Zelda, not Queen Zelda.
Ermine Cape Effect - seven years of hiding out, revealing herself in the Temple of Time where it's probably not a good idea for her to show her face considering that she's being hunted for... in full royal regalia. Good job, Zelda.
Princess Curls - little ones, but they're there!
Save The Princess - what would have happened about five minutes after she was yoinked to the Meatship.
Sheik
Purple Prose - most of Sheik's... speech things... border on this.
Mysterious Watcher - he lurks.
Smoke Out - Deku Nut Out?
Fletchette Storm - throwing needles! Probably also partially headcanon, since he only uses them in Super Smash Bros Melee, not the actual game.
Dark-Skinned Blonde - appearance.
Red Eyes Take Warning - counter-example, Sheikah are good guys.
Ho Yay - hi, Link :|
Both
Gender Bender - of a sort. Puberty must have been fun for both of them. (Three words - Sheik with PMS.)
Pointy Ears - long pointy ears, even! (Seriously, I still can't work out how a Hylian/Sheikah/Kokiri would lie on their side without crushing an ear.)
Nightmare Fuel - seven years of seeing your land get ravaged. Look, Legend of Zelda has its own page! Also under headcanon: some of Sheik's deaths.
Magic Music - Sheik teaching Link warp songs, Zelda (at the end of the game) sending Link back to his own time.
no subject
Zelda
Survivor Guilt - closer to, 'I saw my kingdom suffering for seven years and while I could stay safe, I couldn't help anyone even though I was technically their queen' guilt.
Straight Arrow - while she's not one of the Zeldas who canonically uses a bow (those are the ones in Wind Waker, Spirit Tracks, and Twilight Princess), this one was trained to use one.
Sheik
Really Seven Hundred Years Old - four hundred and something.
Living On Borrowed Time - most of his lives, unless he's sharing with someone.
Death Is Cheap - he's lost track. Sort of inverted in that 'dead' is the more normal state and 'alive' is the more temporary one.
Last Of His Kind - after Impa buggers off to be a Sage, he's left as this. Sort of.
Both
Bodyguard Crush - Mutual. Made more complicated by:
Sharing A Body - which, you know. Awkward.
Kazami Shiro || Kamen Rider V3
Badass (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadAss) He's once tortured using electric chains. He uses his own sweat to disrupt the current enough to break the chains and kill everyone in the room.
Badass Biker (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadassBiker) - Try to deny it.
Badass Crew (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadassCrew) - Any Rider on ship had best be prepared to join this, as long as he's there.
Big Damn Heroes (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigDamnHeroes) - He tends to couple this with punching through a wall with his motorcycle.
Black and White Morality (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShadesOfConflict) - There's right, and there's wrong.
Blessed with Suck (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlessedWithSuck) - Inverted. Originally, the Double Riders refused to turn him into a Rider because they wanted to be the only ones to bear the pain of being a remodeled human. After he was converted, he angsted for a bit, but later stated that his body is his pride.
Calling Your Attacks (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CallingYourAttacks) - Regular fighting's all fine and good, but when he's about to put effort into something, expect to hear something like "V3 Punch!" "V3 Chop!" or "V3 (insert adjective here)" Kick!" V3 has many, many different attacks, and all of them have names that he loves to yell.
Crowning Moment of Awesome (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrowningMomentofAwesome) - Too many to really count. A memorable one involves him in a room with a young girl he's trying to rescue and his non-superpowered ally, Riderman. He's been shot in the head and can't control his strength or transform without risking death. A squad of men five times stronger than normal humans, and a massive monster are hammering the door. Kazami undergoes brain surgery from Riderman, without anesthesia, while holding the door up. And then he saves everyone.
Curbstomp Battle (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CurbstompBattle) - Happens several times. Several fights devolve into this after V3 indulges in ripping off people's limbs.
Death By Origin Story (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeathByOriginStory) - Kazami's entire family was murdered in front of him, prompting him to beg to be turned into a cyborg.
Finishing Move (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FinishingMove) - Kazami has about a dozen of these.
Henshin Hero (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HenshinHero) - ...duh? He was created by the guy who created the very concept.
Heroic BSOD (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroicBSOD) - Subverted. Kazami never undergoes this, his reaction to things that would break anyone else is pure, boiling rage.
Re: Kazami Shiro || Kamen Rider V3
Jumped at the Call (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JumpedAtTheCall) - When his family was murdered, Kazami begged to be turned into a cyborg. When the Double Riders refused, he tried to fight Destron anyway. When he was fatally wounded saving them from an 'anti-cyborg' field, they were forced to turn him into a remodeled human.
Nakama (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Nakama) - The Kamen Riders. If you're a Rider, you're family. The end.
Open Heart Dentistry (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OpenHeartDentistry) - Hongo Takeshi dropped out of college to fight evil. He was studying to become a biologist. He and a combat photographer end up turning Kazami into the most powerful cyborg in the world (at that time) in a matter of hours. Yuki Jyoji is a scientist that seems to specialize in cybernetics. He performs brain surgery on Kazami once.
Parental Substitute (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ParentalSubstitute) - Tachibana Tobei became this for Kazami, and many of the other Riders. They call him 'Pops', and he provided invaluable support for many of them, especially when it came to setting up hidden bases, training them, and teaching them to ride motorcycles.
Power Trio (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PowerTrio) - He's got a habit of becoming the leader in these situations.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RoaringRampageOfRevenge) - His entire career as V3. He killed hundreds of people and nearly single handedly destroyed one of the worst evil organizations the world had yet seen.
Scarf of Asskicking (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScarfOfAsskicking) - Two of them.
Screw The Rules, I'm Doing What's Right (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitleeym5vv2h?from=Main.ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight) - Kazami will break all kinds of rules to hold true to his morals.
Training From Hell (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TrainingFromHell) - He inflicts this on himself and others at the drop of a hat.
We Can Rebuild Him (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WeCanRebuildHim) - What the Double Riders were forced to say.
Wouldn't Hit A Girl (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ptitledr2p2k8t?from=Main.WouldntHitAGirl) - He was raised so that he wouldn't dream of hitting a girl. However, murderous cyborgs don't count, he'll karate chop their arms off and kick them off a cliff.
You Can't Go Home Again (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitle024v6ql5duby?from=Main.YouCantGoHomeAgain) - His family was killed, and his house partially destroyed by both Destron and the Kamen Riders.

Fish Out Of Temporal Water: At least somewhat - he's a fast learner.
Heterosexual Life Partners: There is a reason Jamie is always and forever going on about the Doctor, really.
Man In A Kilt: He's Scottish, what'd you expect?
No Sense Of Personal Space: Mostly with the Doctor, but a lot of times with his female friends as well.
Spider Sense: Not very strong, but occasionally useful.
The Other Darrin: Jamie had another face briefly during his adventures in the Land of Fiction.
Time Travel: Obvious trope is obvious.
There's a couple of others that aren't direct characterizations (or are not currently applicable) that can be found here. Scroll down until you get to the companions, and look for Jamie.

Look What You Made Me Do!
Amusing Alien
--He bites trees. Raunchy comments/jokes fly over his head (mostly) and rarely, if ever, enters a dangerous situation with a companion or a group.
Left for Dead
--June 20, 2001, during a shootout, it took one of the villains to go in and rescue him. Similar situations have proven common, thus turning him into a survivalist.
The Dog Bites Back
The Atoner
--Result of what is referred to as the Ides of March.
Disabled Snarker
Prophet Eyes**
(Hollywood/Medical inaccuracies notwithstanding)
--Yes, he's blind and yes, he'll often joke about it. He doesn't do the pitiful-disability thing and he mocks those that label themselves as having a disability when a special power makes it null-and-void.
Bizarre Alien Biology
--Well, he is an alien.
Unbroken Vigil
--Is it sad/creepy that he stayed in/watched over a building that was quite abandoned after the Ides of March?
Current and Continuing
Bizarre Alien Biology
--Ahem. Alien.
The Atoner
--Still dealing with repercussions of many things, here. PTSD? Ah...yeah, a bit.
Anti-Hero
--Cynical innocence? Somehow he manages this, don't ask how.
Disabled Snarker
Prophet Eyes**
--Same as pre-Meatship
Head Pet
--Billy "Bee" Cranstion, Wyn Callahan, the tops of your heads (and possibly a shoulder) are claimed in the name of the Headwarming Imp Hat.
Fish Out of Temporal Water
Time Travel
Wagon Train to the Stars
Flying Dutchman / The Drifter
--It's both fascinating to go timewalking and just a not-nice truth to know you're the last of your race.
Power of Friendship
--Cultural background aside, he takes friendship extremely seriously.
Re: Look What You Made Me Do!
Et tu, Brute
--Betrayal? Yeah, it's up there with mass murder and if you screw him (knowingly), don't expect him to watch your back.
"Once bitten, twice shy", as it were.
*General "you" in use here.
Kaylee Frye | Firefly
Berserk Button: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BerserkButton) Comes into play anytime someone badmouths Serenity. Just don't do it, guys, it's not worth the tongue-lashing you'll get. Likewise, a direct quote from TVTropes: "Don't hurt Kaylee in front of Jayne. If you do, hope like hell there's a Shepherd nearby to bail you out." That probably goes for all of her crew members.
Catch Phrase: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CatchPhrase) Shiny.
Covert Pervert: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CovertPervert) HAVE GREAT SEX!!
The Cutie: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheCutie) I don't think this needs explanation.
Distressed Damsel: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DistressedDamsel) This is seen constantly in the series. Whedon said it himself: "Whenever we wanted to up the suspense, we just put the cute engineer in danger."
Fetish Fuel Station Attendant: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FetishFuelStationAttendant) Engines get me hot, anyone?
Geeky Turn On: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GeekyTurnOn) Kaylee's entire existence. Engine-room sex is what got her the job, and her tech-talk is what saved her from ridicule at a high-end shindig and gave her plenty of conversation with the men in the room.
Gratuitous Foreign Language: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GratuitousForeignLanguage) Chinese (Mandarin) is seen everywhere in Firefly. Everyone in the 'verse knows it, and everyone speaks it at some time or another.
I Just Shot Marvin in the Face: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IJustShotMarvinInTheFace) Ever see the pilot episode?
Kick the Dog: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KickTheDog) In which case, Kaylee is the dog, and if you kick her you will probably die. Just don't do it.
Lady for a Day: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LadyForADay) Shindig :D
Mission Control: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MissionControl) Both Kaylee and Wash act in this station at several points in the series--they take care of the ship while everyone else is out on the job, and they zoom in to save the others more than once.
Moe: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Moe) Does this really need explaining?
Morality Pet: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MoralityPet) I don't think this one needs explaining either.
Nerds Are Sexy: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NerdsAreSexy) Tech-talk, anyone~?
She Cleans Up Nicely: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SheCleansUpNicely) All goes back to Shindig.
Yum Yum: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YumYum) Kaylee + Strawberries = OTP
Wrench Wench: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WrenchWench) I think this one's a bit obvious.

Language of Magic - The Speech.
Cast From Hit Points - one of the reasons why wizards on Rhiow's world are so intent on conserving their magic.
Functional Magic - Wizards have been compared to the technical support staff of the universe.
Geometric Magic - Rhiow's spellwork can be folded up and stored in a claudication, and excessively complex spells tend to resemble advanced geometric constructs.
In the Name of the Moon - "Eldest, fairest and fallen, greetings and defiance."
Powers That Be - the trope namer.
Rewriting Reality - What wizardry does. In keeping with the metaphor about wizards being the IT staff of the universe, wizardry is often compared to programming.
Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness - Guilty of this when talking about worldgating, hyperstring function, the specific function of her wizardry, and of course when she's using wizardry. The latter is justified because if you're re-programming the universe, you have to be very specific about all the variables involved.
Talking Animal - Has produced some amusing reactions aboard ship.
Intellectual Animal - In conjunction with the first. Rhiow is a worldgate technician, after all.
Team Mom - Finds herself filling this role, much to her ironic dismay, since she actually can't have children.
Reincarnation - Cats have nine lives. Rhiow is on her sixth, after spending her fifth to pay for extra spell-carrying capacity to defeat the Lone Power.
Carnivore Confusion - Subverted in that even if the mice can talk (to the People's knowledge they can't), cats have to eat. Although there is a tradition among cats not to hunt to the last life, because "even the prey have gods."
