A Hero (fan work): Difference between revisions

{{work}}

Well, [[Killed Off for Real|yeah.]] But he's here now.

** Also, see the Dalek Inquisitor General. The Spacebattles forums have somehow built him up into the Dalek version of Chuck Norris, except that "While Chuck Norris facts are fictional and wishful thinking,'' '''these are real.'''" '' The ''author himself'' is "surprisingly not surprised," that somehow the [[Fan Nickname|DIG]] has become sort of a "Fate Worse Than Death," on the forums.

* [[Badass Boast]] (also a [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]]):

'''Kyubey:''' You?<br />

'''Dalek Sec:''' NOT ME. A [[Catch Phrase|WO-RD]]; IT IS A WO-RD THAT CAU-SES SUCH FE-AR, THAT E-VEN THE LORDS OF TI-ME ARE SENT TO THEIR KNE-ES.<br />

* [[Character Focus]]: Read this page. Notice how someone keeps getting mentioned.

** [[Word of God]] has it that this is to make up for the fact that he wants to make a believable and interesting character out of something that usually isn't.

* [[Cosmic Plaything]]: Dalek Sec is absolutely convinced that the universe (or at least some god-like entity) is actively screwing with him. He isn't happy about it. [[Unstoppable Rage|At]] [[Hair-Trigger Temper|all.]]

* [[Crack Fic]]: Played with. The general idea of the fic, that [[Omnicidal Maniac|a Dalek]] would turn into a hero, is very, ''very'' crack-y. The rest of the fic ''isn't''.

* [[Groundhog Day Loop]]: Still very much in effect here. Homura's not getting out of this thing any time soon.

** Sec's stuck in it, too. [[Sarcasm Mode|Fun.]]

* [[Hold Your Hippogriffs]]: Dalek Sec, being a non-human, has a few of these. His main one is "SON-OF-A-THAL!"

* [[Humanity Is Infectious]]: Zig-zagged all over the place. On one hand, Dalek Sec now has human emotions. However, it's because of his attempt at hybridization in "Daleks in Manhattan," but he's also trying to work through those feelings. And while he's trying to examine human culture... it doesn't always go quite as simply as some of the more iconic examples of this trope. See also, [[Dwarf Fortress (Video Game)|Dwarf Fortress]] or his reaction to [[Avatar]]. But on the other OTHER hand, he views humans as a great species because [[Humans Are Warriors]]. See below for more clarification.

** The author, on the Spacebattles Forums, has stated that Daleks can do deadpan, but only one way: ''' ''LOUD-LY!'' ''' The original post had the word in greatly increased font size.

* [[Noodle Incident]]: Kyouko ''somehow'' managed to piss off the Matriarch of ''every single Puella Magi gang in Tokyo''. [[Word of God]] has it that the incident in question invlolved [[Noodle Implements|a sports car, a house, 4 cases of gasoil, 5 pots of boiling coffee, a slinky, 2 boxes full of Grief Seeds, an incubator drone, a van, a briefcase full of money of unscrupulous origins, a maid outfit and cheese.]]

* [[Omniscient Morality License]]: The Incubators, who have not only been exploiting the human race since the stone age but have also been conducting social engineering projects to make humans easier to manipulate. Sec implies that they're responsible for creating the cultural image of the [[Magical Girl]] which misleads so many young girls into contracting with them.

* [[Omniscient Council of Vagueness]]: The ones in charge of the PMM plan. So far, we have and [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch]] [[Hive Mind]], an enormous Uber-Orwellian regime and {{spoiler|The Cybermen}}.

** The only video game we've seen him play is [[Dwarf Fortress (Video Game)|Dwarf Fortress]]. ''Not'' succeeding is practically the point of the game; so does that mean that he's succeeding in a game where the only option is failure?

* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: Homura now wears one, much to Dalek Sec's chargin.

** The entire [[Curb Stomp Battle]] against Uhrmann is a shout out to the [[Bolo]] series. Her defeat is even called a "Bolostomp," in the author's notes.

** [[Word of God]] has it that Sec's use of the word "Thal" as a swearword is a shout out to [[Second Empire]].

** Kyouku believes, in chapter five, that Sec's emotions are stuck on [[Image Boards|"Always Angry, All the Time"]] which is the battle cry of one of 4 Chan's homegrown (original) [[Warhammer 40000 (Tabletop Game)|Space Marine Chapters,]] the Angry Marines.

** One of the members of the Coalition is based on the story 1984, especially in its use of newspeak.

** Sec is shown playing an unnamed game, but [[Word of God]] and clues, plus the rage and anger it invokes, shows that the game is [[Dwarf Fortress (Video Game)|Dwarf Fortress]].

** Kyouko mentions to Kyubey that Homura handed her "[[An Offer You Can't Refuse|an offer [She] couldn’t refuse]]"

{{quote| ''Dalek Sec wasn’t quite near the I-will-kill-everyone-on-this-planet-with-their-own-internal-organs stage yet, but he was certainly getting there.''}}

** Noted slightly earlier that what a human considers "Unstoppable Rage," is merely "Miffed," to a Dalek. If any other life form in existence felt what a ''Dalek'' considers unstoppable rage, they would ''explode.''

** Chapter Five: {{spoiler|One of the coalition members is the Cybermen!}}

*** Also {{spoiler|[[Oh Crap|The Dalek Inquisitor General is free]]}}.
