Line 18:
* [[Intellectual Animal]]
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: So many ways.
* [[Lions and Tigers
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]
* [[Losing Your Head]]: Happens to Daiquiri at the end of the first round.
Line 28:
* [[Talking Animal]]: Lots of these. Given the setting, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.
* [[There Can Be Only One]]
* [[Playing
* [[Weak-Willed]]: Half ideas are more susceptible than fully developed characters to being puppets of the plot completely dominated by the creators.
* [[The Wonderland]]: Medium in SPADES.
Line 50:
* [[The Dead Have Names]]: Although neither of Theraidra's opponents actually died, the cloaked figure made sure to tell the dragon their names after the fights to compound her sense of guilt.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Created by, of all people, Amadeus. When he tries to manually override the [[Humanity Ensues]] trope and turn the humans back into anthros with his manipulator, instead their bodies violently and graphically tear themselves apart under the strain of the transformation. The pile of blood, guts, and organs left behind mutated into a giant red blob that nearly kills both Adam and Reznor.
* [[The End of the World
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: The Hylan is not the character’s name, but her professional title. She was never given a name by her creator before her story was forgotten.
* [[Fingore]]: Clarisse looses two of the fingers off of her front paw during round one.
Line 72:
** Let's not forget that, while this is usually done as a way to [[Earn Your Happy Ending]], it isn't uncommon for the story to [[Downer Ending|end tragically for everyone involved,]] making all of that suffering meaningless. Jerk ass gods indeed.
** Alternatively, if the Creators get bored of a story or character they will simply abandon it. The story falls apart and the characters end up as purposeless half-ideas trapped in Medium.
* [[Jerk
* [[Kids Are Cruel]]: A few of the half-idea characters are victims of this in a way; their creators were children who [[Growing Up Sucks|simply grew out]] of the rather cliche, Mary-Sueish character and abandoned it.
* [[Kill All Humans]]: Amadeus accidentally does this by turning the [[Humanity Ensues]] trope on it's head.
Line 78:
* [[Littlest Cancer Patient]]: Adam is this in his home canon.
* [[Lotus Eater Machine]]: The theme of Clarisse's round two.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Silenzio's name means "silent" in Italian. He is [[Exactly What It Says
** Also Testobject, who is the [[Exactly What It Says
** Avon was named after a river, and it is living water.
** Lakansyèl's name means "rainbow" in Haitian Creole, which is ironic as she is blind and always searching for colors.
Line 98:
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: Thanks to the manipulators, any of the characters are potentially capable of this. So far it has only been utilized by Marty, who completely obliterated Van Gogh's ''Starry Night.''
* [[Plot Armor]]: Any given character in their own entries, since the writer sort of needs them alive to progress through each round. However, Nysa is a particularly noteworthy example; she actually dies in round two, but the fact that she is the protagonist causes the story itself to ressurect her.
* [[The Problem
* [[Psychopomp]]: One exist in Medium who describes himself as the amalgamation of literally ''every'' existing manifestatin of Death.
* [[Rage Against the Heavens]]: The characters who are played as abandoned Half Ideas rather than Wholes who fell into Medium by accident tend to have this attitude towards the creators.
