Mad Scientist - Dr. Retro, of course.

Whatevermancy - Many VEpochers have this trait. See also Whateverkinesis.

Gender Flip - A lot of our characters and self-portrayals use thiis. See Milk and Strawberry Milk, or Naka and Miss Naka.

Viewer Gender Confusion - Bound to happen when so many guys have female avatars. Spawned this thread.

Ambiguous Gender - Subverted by this thread, but still happens on occasion. Thankfully, we're all accepting here.

Doing It for the Art - See Apkallu or the various LPers. Few of us are really in it for the money.

Magnificient Bastard - Played straight by Speedy, who fits every aspect of this trope. He has even called himself a bastard on numerous occasions.

Hello~
And now, mine. Some good, some bad.

Apologizes a Lot
- Some VEpocers apologizes alot even though it's not his/her fault.

Attention Whore
- VE has some and we'll leave it at that.

Big Bad
- Retro in Awesome vs Corruption (Do we even have a Big Bad for Embodiment of Vagrant Epochers?)

Bilingual Bonus
- This topic.

Catchphrase
- Mainly seen in the Intro topics.

Drama Queen
- Yes.

Everyone Has Standards
- I should certainly hope so!

Names to Run From Really Fast - Quite a few, for instance God of Discord, Shane the Corrupted and Stabby.

Nice Guy
- Quite a few guys and gals.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech
- This post and this post.

Verbal Tic
- Snowwolf's *Kero* and Serine's *Nya*.

Amendments:



Additions:

  • All of the Other Reindeer - Averted by Solistar; at the time he was cursed by Zenon, so was everyone else. When everyone else but him was cured, they knew his pain and took him in instead of shunning him.
  • All Part of the Job - Solistar Drake is a Demon Hunter, a demanding job that earns variable pay at best and poor pay at worst and involves fighting beings that can send planets flying into the sun with their fists. Solistar does this because it allows him to live the life his parents did.
  • Air Hugging - Averted; Most VEers are not afraid to hug.
  • A God I Am Not - SoS can control Time, Space, and Matter. He can move freely through Time and Space and is incapable of dying for good. He acts like a normal person and doesn't pay too mucn attention to the true extent of his power.
  • Aloof Big Brother - SoS could be seen as this to some of the members of the Family, but mostly Milk. Milk even refers to him as "Big Bro." Whether or not SoS is stronger has yet to be determined.
  • Androids And Overlords - SoS and SoS-Bot
  • Anything That Moves - Dodgy. Just Dodgy
  • Attention Whore - Sadly, some VEers show spades of this trope. Probably a good idea not to name anyone in particular with this trope.
  • Backstory of the Day - In the Crossroads RP, this is how Whisker's backstory was shown. Was/Is being fleshed out and expanded on in the Earthbound RP.
  • Beauty Is Never Tarnished - A common trope among female Epochers and OCs.
  • Evil Laugh - Characters such as SoS or Retro tend to use these.
  • Real Women Never Wear Dresses - Considering the large number of female characters, almost none of them are ever seen wearing anything more feminine than a skirt at best.
  • Took a Level in Badass - Whiskers was originally an ordinary household cat with psychic powers. Then she was given a depressing backstory, motivation to rule the world, an army of animal/robot/chimera and an Alien/Demon ancestry..

Purposefully Overpowered and Arbitrarily Large Bank Account may apply to Giles as a character, if we're doing character-specific things. I had thought that the tropes had either applied to more "tangible" actions like Speedy/JB's commissions, to usernames, or to the forum as a whole. I mean, including actual characters would be hella expansive.

Note that a lot of examples in this post toe the line...

Not sure if chibiGiles counts as a Shoulder-Sized Dragon if he changes shapes. Also, "ryuu~" is exclusive to this and similarly-cute forms.

Homage - The RPs, of course.

Bored with Insanity - The default explanation for the cooler heads of VE.

Shapeshifting

Intangible Man - Dodgy.

Making a Splash - of Strawberry Milk.

My Instincts are Showing - dracoCedi and Jau.

Scaled Up - Cedi

Metamorphosis - Jau

SCIENCE!! - Retro

Science is Unbalance - Retro

And a personal list for Giles: Big Bad Duumvirate, Dragon Their Feet, Dragon with an Agenda, Noble Top Enforcer, Our Dragons are Different, Crystal Dragon Jesus, The Fettered, The Stoic, Kuudere (Type1/2), Fantastically Indifferent, The Spock, Stepford Snarker, Intangible Man(selectively), Shapeshifters Do It for a Change, Purposefully Overpowered, Arbitrarily Large Bank Account, Both Sides Have a Point.

Backstory of the Day whenever I get around to it D:<

Well then, work this out slightly and I'll add them to the list. :P

As for all the others, I've adapted them right into the list as well~

Additional thing for Arbitrarily Large Bank Account
  • This also goes for Speedy's odd amount of Steam games. 949.


Now if don't want to add that it's fine :I

I couldn't really think of anything else to put on the list.

Handshake Substitute - The BroFist can be seen many, many times upon Skype greetings. Also, the BroHoof.

The Glomp - Another form of greeting seen often on the Skype chat.

Tsundere - Some people fall into this category. Not that I know who any of them are. Idiots.

Covert Pervert - Seems like there's a lot of these, some less covert than others. No specifics please.

Now see here, there is a reason why I wouldn't want to add it.

That number is complete and utter rubbish. I have 'only' 576 games in my Steam. The number on my profile, however, also counts:

-DLC (I have all of Magicka's and Dungeon Defender's DLCs.. and also alot of several other games- but Magicka and DunDef have over a dozen each, alone!)
-FREE TO PLAY Games (Spiral Knights and Rusty Hearts ring a bell?)
-TOOLS AND MEDIA (Borderlands first two DLC had a 'DRM tool'. Silly, but it's +2 on the number.)

Also, most of my collection is from '$5 for these 10 games, which normally cost $5 EACH' packages. I mean, I bought the Orange Box for like €30, whereas just Portal alone was €50 back then. Never mind Team Fortress 2 or Half-Life 2 and it's episodes!

I'll go and edit in JB's additions to the list now.
