Brutal Series/Characters: Difference between revisions

== ''Brutal'' Males, District 1 - 6 ==

 

* [[Adaptational Villainy]]

* [[Arch Enemy]]: Of Thew.

* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: His fight with Japan, though the latter is noticeably more sympathetic.

* [[Freudian Excuse]]: In his intro chapter, he says he has a rocky relationship with his father after his parents' divorce caused his dad to drift away from him. This leads to {{spoiler|his death}}, as he deliberately volunteers to annoy the old man.

* [[Heroic Wannabe]] Motivated by a desire to be his district's hero, though not in the traditional sense of the word.

* [[It's All About Me]]

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: He has a crippling fear of ghosts, which Thew exploits in a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].

 

* [[Adaptational Villainy]]

* [[All Work vs. All Play]]: The All Work to Ciano's All Play in the 4th What If.

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Kills {{spoiler|Tiee}} at the bloodbath and {{spoiler|Liet}} in the fourth What If.

 

* {{spoiler|[[Accidental Murder]]: Switz throws him to the wolves, thinking he's dead. He's not.}}

* [[Adorkable]]

* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: What's that you want, Thew? Recognition? Well, we'll just have to {{spoiler|kill you off in the most offhanded and unceremonious way possible}}, then, won't we?

 

 

* [[Adaptational Villainy]]

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Decapitates {{spoiler|Ukraine}}, when she's completely unaware and (relatively) defenceless, no less.

 

 

* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: Poor guy.

* {{spoiler|[[We Hardly Knew Ye]]}}

 

 

* [[Adorkable]]: Completely at odds with social conventionalities, yet adorable in spite (or because) of it.

== ''Brutal'' Males, District 7 - 12 ==

 

 

* [[Adaptational Villainy]]

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Kills {{spoiler|Corianne}}, as well as {{spoiler|Veta}} in ''What If''.

 

 

* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[We Hardly Knew Ye]]}}

 

 

* [[All Work vs. All Play]]: The All Work to Poal's All Play.

 

== ''Brutal'' Females, District 7 - 12 ==

 

* [[Children Are Innocent]]

* [[The Woobie]]: But of course.

 

 

* [[Action Girl]]

 

== ''Horrible'' Males, District 1 - 6 ==

* [[Adaptational Villainy]]

* [[Affably Evil]]: So much that he went for the "fun and friendly" angle during his interviews.

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Though, to his credit, he doesn't like it much.

 

* {{spoiler|[[Accidental Murder]]: Almost on the receiving end of this trope.}}

** {{spoiler|And he certainly isn't the kind that would kill Aztinca, but...}}

 

 

* {{spoiler|[[Attempted Rape]]: Thank ''goodness'' Sve got there first.}}

* [[The Brute]]: In ''Horrible'''s Career group.

* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: Poor, poor {{spoiler|Perdita.}}

 

* [[Anti-Hero]]: A wannabe of it; Igris keeps on saying that he's okay with killing people in order to get out of the Games alive, but when it comes down to it, he doesn't actually kill.

* [[Badass]]: Not too soft for a pampered rich kid. After all, he managed to master the rapier in what seems like seconds.

== ''Horrible'' Males, District 7 - 12 ==

 

* [[Accent Adaptation]]: Sort of. Since most citizens of Panem probably don't know what on earth Russia is, his Russian accent is interpreted by his adoptive parents as a speech impediment and by the doctor as a rare disorder.

* {{spoiler|[[Alas, Poor Villain]]: He "just wanted to go home."}}

* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]/[[No Kill Like Overkill]]: {{spoiler|Dies this way at Amer's hands.}}

* [[Not Blood Siblings]]: With Natalya.

* [[Power Trio]]: With Eston and Raivis.

* {{spoiler|[[Rasputinian Death]]}}

* [[You Monster!]]: Said to him by Amer after {{spoiler|he kills Eston and Raivis.}}

 

* {{spoiler|[[The Alcoholic]]: In "Hit the Bottle", he tries to [[Drowning My Sorrows|Drown his Sorrows]] after winning the Games.}}

* [[Ascended Extra]]/[[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Barely mentioned in ''Brutal'';a rather important character in the sequel. Even more important in one of the What Ifs, and {{spoiler|the central character in the oneshot "Hit the Bottle" (which is based off that What If scenario.)}}

 

== ''Horrible'' Females, District 1 - 6 ==

* [[All Work vs. All Play]]: Has shades of this with Rome.

* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]: Formerly [[The Dragon]] until she turns all [[The Starscream|Starscream-y]] and kills Rome.}}

* [[The Quiet One]]: Sadik comments on how she doesn't talk much in the interviews, and you don't see her saying much during the Games.

 

* {{spoiler|[[Accidental Murder]]: No one's sure if Vash intended to shoot her or not.}}

* [[Action Girl]]: {{spoiler|Would have been this if she hadn't died at the bloodbath.}}

* {{spoiler|[[We Hardly Knew Ye]]}}

 

* {{spoiler|[[Accidental Murder]]: Almost. After deciding not to kill Spain, she accidentally conks him on the head with the hammer, giving him a concussion which would likely have landed him on her kill list if it wasn't for Ania.}}

* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Gets this quite a bit, particularly when she thinks she and Spain are about to be killed by cat muttations.

* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: After complaining of hunger for quite a while, she and Spain finally get some food donated to them... only for it to be stolen by Sadik.

 

* [[Children Are Innocent]]

* {{spoiler|[[Dead Little Sister]]: Briefly, to Spain.}}

* {{spoiler|[[We Hardly Knew Ye]]}}

 

* [[Accidental Murder]]: {{spoiler|Dies this way after eating too much of Fronce's poisonous sauce.}}

* [[Brainy Brunette]]: Apparently her interview angle was a "smart survivalist."

== ''Horrible'' Females, District 7 - 12 ==

 

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Adaptational Badass]]

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Almost sleeps through her interview, spends most of her time hiding ... then {{spoiler|kills a career when half-asleep}}!

 

* [[Cheerful Child]]: When with Laine.

* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[We Hardly Knew Ye]]}}

 

* [[Beast and Beauty]]: With Sve; she being the Beauty.

* [[Beta Couple]]: With Sve, for the series as a whole.

* {{spoiler|[[Together in Death]]: With Sve. He even sees (or at least thinks he sees) her moving towards him as he dies in the third What If.}}

 

* [[Accidental Murder]]: {{spoiler|Vahn wasn't entirely intending to kill her with that pickaxe.}}

* [[Doomed by Canon]]: In ''The Hunger Games'', District 12 has only ever had four victors (three in the canon series, one established by Journey's other fics), so you pretty much know she's going to die.

 

== ''Miserable'' Males, District 1 - 6 ==

{{quote|"I also wouldn't be in the Games if it were not for my parents. I find no particular joy in the idea of killing, but my parents want to add an extra bit of fame to the name Torya. I suppose I'm somewhat of a pawn, if one chooses to look at it that way. I don't mind. I have to do something with my life, and constant luxury is really quite boring."

}}

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Shoots Saki with his arrows and kills {{spoiler|Bell}}.

 

 

{{quote|"I'm only 12—and I've only been that for about a week—and I'm not that strong or anything. I kind of... I don't have good odds. I'll try to get out and everything, but I'm really not that optimistic about this."

== ''Miserable'' Males, District 7 - 12 ==

 

* [[An Ax to Grind]]: Thanks to a certain forgetful Career, Norge manages to acquire a trusty companion to {{spoiler|protect his little brother}} with.

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Okay, so he wants to {{spoiler|protect his little brother}}- that's pretty heroic. But wait…HE JUST {{spoiler|HACKED APART SHEEN'S GUTS}}! And…oh my gosh…now he's trying to kill a thirteen year old?!

* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: Most of the time, he's emotionless. But catch him in the chapters when he {{spoiler|practically begs for Ise to call him "big brother"…}}

* [[The Stoic]]: His initial personality.

 

== ''Miserable'' Females, District 1 - 6 ==

 

{{quote|"Did I ever mention I have the memory of an old-man goldfish?"

}}

* [[Yaoi Fangirl]]: As much as the authoress would allow.

 

{{quote|"Not only have people been tortured, they've starved and burned and just withered away, so slowly... I want to save at least one Games from so much of that."

}}

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Ties into the reason why she wants to go on a killing spree and become the Victor. She wants to make sure nobody feels any pain from the Games- by killing them herself.

 

* [[Ascended Extra]]: See main trope.

* [[The Cameo]]

* {{spoiler|[[Together in Death]]:With Sheen.}}

 

 

{{quote|"Blood has such a beautiful colour, you know? And the shining, crimson textures on mutilated flesh are so much more interesting than bland, rough skin."

{{quote|'''Antonio:''' "She's amicable, but curiously bloodthirsty."

}}

* [[Flat Character]]: The most you get out of her is that she's an artist.

* [[Scenery Porn]]: Her narrative is full of artistic imagery.

* [[Ship Tease]]: Magya says that she's been noticing that Seborga's been flirting quite a bit with Wy… Not that it'll really amount to much when the Games start.

 

* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Has shades of this to both Feli and her own little sister, Luxy.

* {{spoiler|[[Dropped a Bridge On Her]]: Her death just barely gets mentioned in one or two sentences.}}

== ''Miserable'' Females, District 7 - 12 ==

 

{{quote|"Ha! You guys can't kill me if you can't even catch me!"

}}

 

 

* [[Adaptational Badass]]: Certainly not ''Hetalia'', as seeing Finland's pretty badbutt in the series. But this version of Finland does far more than Finni from ''Horrible''.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: See the trope on the main page.

 

 

 

* [[Adorkable]]:

* [[The Woobie]]: With all her paranoia, you just want to give her a hug.

 

{{quote|"The capitol... It's just too strong for one little girl like me to take on. I just have to... have to sit back... have to stay and sit and watch... Just like always..."
