Darths & Droids/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 22:

* [[Idiot Hero]]

* [[Lawful Good]]: In-universe. Qui-Gon, [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0064.html in theory].

* [[Malaproper]]: Sort of inverted, Jim [[Know Nothing Know It All|immediately and authoritatively]] states a random definition for whatever alien word the DM mentions.

* [[Malaproper]]: Sort of inverted, Jim [[Know-Nothing Know-It-All|immediately and authoritatively]] states a random definition for whatever alien word the DM mentions.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Jim being one letter off from Jin. No longer meaningful as of Qui-Gon's death.

* [[Nice Job Breaking It Hero]]: Every other day. And this is an understatement. And most of the time he (apparently) doesn't even notice when it's pointed out.

{{quote| '''Owen:''' Yes. They used to be a peaceful, meditative race, until about ten years ago, when they mysteriously acquired weapons and started shooting at pod races. They began terrorising town dwellers, claiming some sort of broken promise. They've descended into barbarism.<br />

'''Jim:''' Wow. I wouldn't like to be the one responsible for that. }}

Line 47:

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Ben was a name Obi-Wan took after the purge.

* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Shares this role with Sally in episode IV.

* [[Nice Job Breaking It Hero]]: Not nearly as bad as Jim, though.

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Not nearly as bad as Jim, though.

* [[The Obi Wan]]: Seems to be taking this role since his return in ''Episode IV'' for Corey, though also showing the same "enlightened" outlook toward others. Playing the [[Trope Namer]] helps.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: At least among the players, though he's not above twisting the insanity around to his benefit.

* [[Put On a Bus]]: He's nowhere to be seen at the start of ''Episode IV''.

Line 55:

* [[The Smart Guy]]

* [[Walking the Earth]]: Or something to that effect. It turns out Ben disappeared in the time between Episode III and IV to find himself. Only he forgot to really keep in contact, so everyone thought the worst, especially Sally.

* [[Well Done Son Guy]]: According to Sally, the only reason he's going into medicine is because his dad wants him to.

* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: According to Sally, the only reason he's going into medicine is because his dad wants him to.

=== Sally ===

Line 61:

Ben's younger sister. Initially she only tagged along with Ben because her parents couldn't afford a babysitter that night, so the GM worked her into the game, and she ended up enjoying it far more than anyone expected and sticking around for the rest of the campaign. She's also wildly imaginative and not afraid to contribute to the world-building--many of the stranger aspects of the prequel trilogy were her contributions.

Played Jar-Jar Binks in ''Episode I'', then kept switching between a bunch of minor side characters like C-3PO, Mace Windu, and Yoda after she got bored with the [[Non Action Guy]].

* [[The Atoner]]: As Mace Windu, she [[Random Number God|accidentally]] [[Off With His Head|killed off]] Jango Fett. Mace spends the rest of the arena battle in a remorseful daze.

Line 100:

* [[The Corrupter]]: How she plays Anakin.

* [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu|Did You Just Airquote Darth Vader?]]: ''Twice''!

* [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?|Did You Just Airquote Darth Vader?]]: ''Twice''!

* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: Both in and out of character.

* [[Lawful Evil]]: In-universe. [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0064.html Annie's playing Anakin this way].

Line 122:

{{quote| '''Ben (as Obi-Wan):''' Let me explain from the beginning. You know your name isn't really Adam?<br />

'''Corey:''' Yeah, it's Corey. I know how this works. }}

* [[First Name Basis]]: Calls Pete by his first name.

* [[First-Name Basis]]: Calls Pete by his first name.

* [[Like Father Like Son|Like Uncle, Like Nephew]]: Started out as [[Munchkin|a mini-Pete]] of sorts, except he was interested in a different kind of games; it even got [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0702.html lampshaded by the GM]. However, he seems to grow into...

* [[The Roleplayer]]: And he's surprisingly good at it considering he's ''Pete's'' nephew. He even calls Pete out on it!

Line 135:

* [[Large Ham]]: He has ''way'' too much fun playing the NPCs. And the sound effects.

* [[Man of a Thousand Voices]]: Switches between various accents, from Boston to [[Japanese Ranguage]] to a French and Spanish [[Funetik Aksent]] to the [[Antiquated Linguistics]] of a hard boiled detective from Noir fiction. [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0308.html Ben has to give him props for doing this well] when he is controlling three characters with completely different accents at the same time in an NPC conversation. [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0307.html That isn't to say he's always on top of it, though.]

* [[No Name Given]]: [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0333.html Lampshaded] in [[The Un Reveal]].

* [[No Name Given]]: [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0333.html Lampshaded] in [[The Un-Reveal]].

* [[Only Sane Man]]

* [[What the Hell Hero]]: Indeed, [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0241.html he states] that one of the fun things about being GM is playing NPC superiors of PCs, so you can call this trope on them.

== NPCs ==

Line 143:

The senator from Naboo, he seems to be pretty decent guy, working to keep order in the galaxy and shying away from underhanded dealings whenever possible. This is a stark reversal from the original movies: instead of him manipulating the well-meaning Anakin into joining [[The Dark Side]], it's ''the other way around''.

* [[Anti Villain]]: He orders the deaths of all Jedi in the field, but he was manipulated into it and feels regret about it.

* [[Anti-Villain]]: He orders the deaths of all Jedi in the field, but he was manipulated into it and feels regret about it.

* [[The Corruptible]]: And [[The Corrupter|Anakin]] succeeds in turning him.

* [[Face Heel Turn]]: Manipulated into one by Anakin.

Line 181:
