Line 6:
* '''Inverted:'''
** Gustav is [[Blood Knight|positively]] [[Ax Crazy|batshit]] [[Cloudcuckoolander|bonkers]].
** Or he's a [[Hot -Blooded]] [[Boisterous Bruiser]] who knocks back a pint every time he scores a headshot.
** Or he's a [[Friendly Sniper]].
** Or [[Not Good With People|he's actually kind of nervous and high-strung when people, friend or foe, are within twenty feet of him,]] [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|but functions well as a sniper because it keeps him away from the bulk of the combat and lets him work alone]].
Line 15:
* '''Parodied:'''
** Henry [[Improbable Aiming Skills|who regularly destroys enemy aircraft with a single shot of a rifle]] laments failing the sniper test numerous times for not being stoic enough.
** Gustav is normal. He's just from a particularly [[Incredibly Lame Pun|cold]] [[Slippy -Slidey Ice World|place]].
* '''Deconstructed:'''
** Gustav is a war criminal and an unquestioning lapdog for his side, which regularly commits genocide.
Line 24:
** Gustav is a sociopath, so he doesn't feel anything when he kills people. But he knows he should stay out of trouble too.
* '''Zig Zagged:'''
** When heroes meet Gustav, he is very cold... but that's because his girlfriend ditched him. His mood swings rather unpredictably from that point on - sometimes he's [[The Stoic]], sometimes [[Nice Guy]], sometimes [[Hot -Blooded]], sometimes a [[Wangst|wangster]], sometimes [[Jerkass]].
** Gustav is cold towards non-snipers because he feels unable to relate to them and their experiences as opposed to his own, and vice versa. As such, he comes off as cold and distant to them. With fellow snipers, because he is able to relate to them better he is a lot more convivial. His mood varies depending on who he is with.
* '''Averted:''' Snipers are just like every other soldier.
