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!

Suggested to read the Dune TVtropes article (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main.Dune) too.

By the eyes of the blind (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ByTheEyesOfTheBlind)-Inverted. As one of Siona's descendants, is invisible to prescience.

church militant (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChurchMilitant)-her priest guardians and the Tleilaxu, to an extent

Compelling voice (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CompellingVoice)-Bene Gesserit voice of command

deus sex machina (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeusSexMachina)-and how! Further detail would go beyond our ratings.

distracted by the sexy (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DistractedByTheSexy)-as a Bene Gesserit is capable of doing this very deliberately, to lethal effect

doomed home town (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DoomedHometown)-Devoured by a Worm. That then stops in front of her like an eager puppy. Later becomes a Doomed Home Planet.

emotions vs stoicism (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EmotionsVsStoicism)-Rather far towards the emotion end of the spectrum for a Bene Gesserit, though the emotions tend to be rather Bacchanalian rather than sentimental.

fluffy tamer (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FluffyTamer)-subverted: she can indeed command the worms and dances for them but she resents them terribly for eating her village

genetic memory (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GeneticMemory)

glowing eyes of doom (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GlowingEyesOfDoom)-spice eyes

messianic archetype (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MessianicArchetype)-the BG plan to use her this way, as she is already an object of worship on [Ar]Rakis

nuns are spooky (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NunsAreSpooky)-Especially when they manipulate the galaxy and can destroy your brain with sex.

the pornomancer (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThePornomancer)-another BG power, which she's quite good at

-other memory, perhaps prescience depending on wether she ever undergoes the spice trance as she has atreides ancestry

sandworm (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SandWorm)-she's bonded to them, though she calls them...

shaitan (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Satan)

scry vs scry (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScryVsScry)-BG vs Leto's Golden Path...Or possibly they're helping him in their resistance...It...makes your head hurt.

UST (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnresolvedSexualTension)-with Duncan Idaho

Xanatos roulette (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/XanatosRoulette)-may be the fulfillment of it

you killed my father (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouKilledMyFather)-the source of her resentment towards the worms
