Line 8:
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something|Royal Who Actually Does Something]]: Watching the spice mining and interviewing local figures about the management of Dune.
* [[Taking You Withwith Me]]: {{spoiler|He attempted to kill Baron Harkonnen using a poison gas in one of his molars that would take out everyone in the room, including himself. Unfortunately... this doesn't actually work.}}
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: Being lured into taking the title to Arrakis instead of [[Noble Fugitive|going into exile]]. [[Alternative Character Interpretation|Alternatively]], his seeming mistake was a successful [[Xanatos Gambit]] of his own.
 
Line 31:
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: He was good before he got to Arrakis. However once the spice kicked in his analytical prowess [[Took a Level In Badass|Took A Level In God-like Prescience]].
* [[A God Am I]] : Subverted [[Deconstructor Fleet|brutally]].
* [[Blessed Withwith Suck]] : While he at first seems like a near-perfect hero destined for great and noble deeds, his ultimate fate is as unglorious and miserable as it gets. Mainly because [[Humans Are Flawed]] and [[Humans Are Bastards]].
* Came Back Strong: He almost dies when he drinks the water of life, and when he wakes up he is the Kwisatz Haderach.
* [[The Chosen One]]
** and [[It Sucks to Be Thethe Chosen One]]... ''Massively''...
* [[Combat Clairvoyance]]
* [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!]]
Line 65:
== [[God-Emperor]] Leto Atreides II ==
 
* [[Achilles Heel]]: [[Kill It Withwith Water|Water]], in large amounts.
* [[A God Am I]]
* {{spoiler|[[And I Must Scream]]: His awareness supposedly exists in each of the sandtrout and sandworms produced from his body. In his words, he is a pearl of awareness locked in an endless dream.}}
Line 192:
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]
* [[Depraved Homosexual]]
* [[Survivors Guilt]]: Averted ''so hard''. When most of his men were killed when Leto [[Taking You Withwith Me|attempted to poison Harkonnen while dying from it]], his immediate reaction was joy that they had died and he survived.
 
== Piter de Vries ==
 
* {{spoiler|[[Anyone Can Die]]: Is taken out by Leto's attempted [[Taking You Withwith Me]], whose real target was the Baron. See also [[Contractual Immortality]] below.}}
* [[Awesome By Analysis]]
* [[Contest Winner Cameo]] / [[Take That, Critics!]]: Possibly named for the American novelist Peter de Vries.
Line 202:
* [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]: He intended to do this, but the Baron convinced him that with Jessica it was a ''really'' stupid idea.
* [[Psycho for Hire]]
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: His name is given as 'Piter de Vrie'''d'''' in some editions of the first book.
 
== Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen ==
Line 227:
* [[Retired Badass]] : Implied.
* [[Ron the Death Eater]]: Not in fanfiction, but the prequel books make him way more evil and cowardly than he was originally presented.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: "Children of Dune" spells his first name as "Hassimar".
 
== Princess Irulan ==
