Chernobyl Curs: Difference between revisions

 

[http://chernobyl-curs.deviantart.com/ Chernobyl Curs], abbreviated as CC, is an [[Original Character Tournament]] on the art website [http://www.deviantart.com/ Deviantart]. It is set in the city of Pripyat, the town most affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, where all humans have deserted. The OCT is restricted to dog characters and whatever non-combatant animal companions they happen to have.

== General tropes ==

* [[Abandoned Area]]: By humans, but not wildlife.

== Character Tropes ==

* [[Abusive Parents]]

* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Lairynth and Mark.

* [[A Man Is Not a Virgin]]: Averted with Vendel because of his self-imposed religious duty. Leads to some humorous [http://amilialongtail.deviantart.com/art/CC-Intro-Page-11-248225161 discussions]

* [[Celibate Hero]]: What Vendel wishes he could be.

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Do not eat the boar meat...

* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: Speakeasy, you really shouldn't be so happy about the tournament's penalty... Although that dance is fun to watch.

* [[Companion Cube]]: George to Nonsensical.

* [[The Ditz]]: Steve just wants to be friends.

* [[Eternally Pearly White Teeth]]: Averted; several characters are specifically mentioned as having yellow or decaying teeth.

* [[Eyeless Face]]: Borf

* [[Eyes of Gold]]

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Buckshot, in referrer to Harry's anthropomorphized arms.

{{quote| '''Buckshot:''' "How is he doing that?!"}}

* [[Lovable Sex Maniac]]: Lucy and Speakeasy.

* [[Love Triangle]]: There may be a few of these in the works.

** Conall's skull mask, which is supposedly possessed, might also qualify.

* [[Nightmare Sequence]]: Caesar and Ronnie in Round 3.

* [[Nonhumans Lack Attributes]]: Both played straight and averted, depending on the individual artist.

** Amusingly lampshaded in some miscellaneous art of Speakeasy, who is intersex and the exact genitalia she may have is ambiguous.

* [[The Stoic]]: Nonsensical

* [[The Unintelligible]]: Marcus is a cross between this and [[The Speechless]]; he is mostly silent but when he does occasionally say something, it's difficult to understand.

* [[Think Happy Thoughts]]: Captain (has this dog ever stopped being happy?)

* [[Thinking Out Loud]]: Why, Balloon, why?

** Two dogs from Untoten's pack bring her food despite the risk, rain, and cold in Round 3.

** Speakeasy has regular interactions with the Blind Pig, and Bloodybeard has been keeping an eye on her.

* [[Wolverine Claws]]: King's attached gloves.

* [[Wouldn't Hurt a Child]]: In canon, the reason why Beyra pairs Untoten with Walter. (Of course, all of the matches are randomly drawn from a hat)
