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!
