IN WHICH I KILL ALL PRODUCTIVITY FOR A NIGHT
So I had this idea in chat and---*thwap*---it's positively evil.
Your guide? TVTropes, the site that will soon ruin your life if it hasn't already done so several times over.Not that I've ever had twenty trope tabs open, no siree!
Your mission? List every trope that you know of that applies to your character!
If you're playing a canon character, you've got it relatively easy. Your canon probably has its own page and some tropes for your character listed for you already. If you're playing an OC from a canon, that canon's tropes should be helpful. And then there's the obvious ones like werewolf tropes or vampire tropes you can easily find with a search.
And if all that doesn't help you? HIT THE RANDOMIZER OVER AND OVER. Soon you'll find something that sorta fits, which leads to something that totally fits, that leads to more things that fit, until you're lost in a pothole maze of tropes. It's fun.
Go go go!

no subject
The Atoner (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheAtoner) Okay, so he wasn't a Big Bad, but he was in a gang and was in prison.
Badass Normal (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadassNormal) One cannot be Batman without being this trope. (Except for that one episode where he was half vampire bat)
Clothes Make the Superman (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ClothesMakeTheSuperman) I've been leaning on this a bit harder then the show did, actually.
Combat Pragmatist (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheCombatPragmatist) If insulting Tim's dead family in a fight wasn't this trope, I don't know what is.
Dating Catwoman (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DatingCatwoman) More like blatantly sexing her up after she broke into your house...
Deadpan Snarker (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeadpanSnarker) Another requirement to being Bats.
Hannibal Leture (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HannibalLecture) The movie, doubling as a Crowning Moment of Awesome.
Impossibly Cool Clothes (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ImpossiblyCoolClothes) The Suit.
Powered Armor (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PoweredArmor) Again, the suit, but a lot less bulky. In fact, it has a rather slenderizing effect, I'd say.
You Killed My Father (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouKilledMyFather) Perhaps the best version of this type of scene ever.
