Line 20:
* [[Guile Hero]]: While he's good in combat, Twig can actually talk his way out of situations with Bounty Hunters and Raiders. Though usually this sets up his team to shoot them.
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Twig plays this role in the party. [[Word of God|Zack Frinfrock]] has stated that Twig only survives because he has a 10 in his Luck [[Fun with Acronyms|S.P.E.C.I.A.L.]] stat. His Charisma is apparently high as well, according to a recent panel
{{quote| Scar: "Staying mad at you is like being mad at a puppy! It's too dumb to know any better."}}
* [[Insult Backfire]]: Since he's from Vault 10, he takes any [[You Are Fat]] insults thrown his way as compliments.
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]
Line 55:
'''Associated tropes:'''
* [[Badass]]: It's implied but it's not really seen until episode 5, when he sneaks away from his guards off screen and shoves his shotgun into the back of {{spoiler|Larry's}} head.
{{quote| {{spoiler|Larry}}: '' "You were watching her, and '''WHO WAS WATCHING HIM!?''' " ''}}
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: He seems to have this with Scar, who is the only person he likes. That said, he and Scar fight constantly but he always apologizes to her but never to Twig.
* [[Character Development]]: In episode 3, Ben shows disgust at his old friend selling Jet. We also learned he worked for Myron during [[Fallout 2]] and left due to moral reasons. He's even hating himself for even considering taking this job from a drug-dealer, friend or not.
Line 64:
** [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: He does care about Scar a lot and openly apologizes to her. He even rescued her from slavers!
* [[Kleptomaniac Hero]]: If it isn't nailed down, he tries to steal it. They get run out of Goodsprings because of this.
{{quote| Ben: "Woo! Free Shit! YEAH!"}}
* [[McGuffin]]: {{spoiler|The ring around his neck.}}
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Like you didn't have "By Menen!" stuck in your head after the first episode.
Line 73:
 
=== {{spoiler|The Protector}} ===
{{quote| '''Ben:''' ''"What are you doing?"''<br />
{{spoiler|'''The Protector:''' ''"Protecting '''YOU!'''" ''}} }}
 
Line 125:
* [[I Just Shot Marvin in the Face|I Just Shot Joey In The Face]]:
* [[Large Ham]]
{{quote| "Did you SAY A ''FAT'' '''''VAULT DWELLER!?!?!?!?!!!'''''}}
* {{spoiler|[[Recurring Character]]: She's the only character from the movie besides the trio to reappear in the series.}}
* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]: "We're back here again? Really, guys?"
Line 165:
 
=== The Narrator ===
{{quote| "[[Crapsack World|The wasteland.]] A desolate place, darkened by the shadows of a [[After the End|dead civilization.]] There are no heroes, only survivors. This the story of one man's quest to find happiness. The perfect [[Title Drop|Nuka Break.]]" - [[Opening Narration]]}}
 
* [[Narrator]]
Line 179:
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Mentions [[Fallout 2|New Reno]].
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]:
{{quote| "I think you got plenty of ammo! And you're waiting for me to come out so you can shoot me!!"}}
* [[Idiot Ball]]: Yeah, you should totally make fun of your armed customers.
* [[Nice Hat]]: "It's adjustable."
Line 253:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Everything he's done has backfired so badly, it's hard not to feel sorry for and/or laugh at his misery.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Ghouls and "smoothskins" again, but Larry seems to be a step higher.
{{quote| Ben: "I've got friends."<br />
Larry: "You? ''Friends!?''"<br />
Ben: "Yeah. A couple of smoothskins."<br />
Larry: "Not like you to keep '''''pets,''''' Benji." }}
* [[Honest John's Dealership]]: His facebook description is "Lucky Larry's Best of the Best!"
Line 284:
* [[Affably Evil]]: Despite being a [[Complete Monster]] who owns slaves and is high ranking in the Legion, Leon is actually fairly ''nice'' about it. He doesn't kill his men if they can at least show some responsibility for their actions, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|has a nice smile]] and is actually shown as being somewhat forgiving, which is unheard of in the Legion.
** His entire scene when he talks to {{spoiler|Larry}} is this.
{{quote| '''Leon''': (Cheerfully) "Hi Larr. My little wayward spy. I suppose you didn't capture Scarlet like you intended.<br />
'''Larry''': "No, Leon. I '''OBVIOUSLY''' did not.<br />
'''Leon''': (somewhat sadly) "Mhm. Well, that's a shame. Larry... You know what I do to people who fail me. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't do that to you."<br />
'''Larry''': "I know where they are."<br />
'''Leon''': (unconvinced) "Uh-huh."<br />
'''Larry''': "You have to give me a second chance, because I can bring her to you."<br />
'''Leon''': "Well where are they?"<br />
'''Larry''': "South of here. I set up an ambush for her and her friends but-"<br />
'''Leon''': (understandingly) "Yeah, and you screwed it all. I understand. ... [[Deadpan Snarker|Well, I'm not surprised.]]" }}
* [[Badass]]: Scares the crap out of his men and slaves, is implied to go through with overkill on his objectives, freaks out his scary black guy, and {{spoiler|destroyed Eastwood with his fat man, Artemis, from a mile away.}}
Line 297:
* [[Creepy Monotone]]: Leon has this going on despite being emotional with his voice. ''[[Crazy Awesome|Really]]''
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: See his quote about dealing with {{spoiler|Eastwood}}.
{{quote| '''Leon''': '' "When hunting foxes, take away the nest. Fox can't go home." ''}}
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: See [[Affably Evil]] above.
* [[Expy]]: Of Legate Lanius
Line 308:
** He and his men don't wear Legion armor either. It might because they are over the border in California, but they were dressed like this in Arizona. But that can easily be handwaved as them being on the frontlines and spying.
* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]: He knows it, [[Pragmatic Villainy|but they are still useful for him.]] In a funny twist, [[Genre Savvy|the idiots know their idiots too.]]
{{quote| Larry: "Leon is looking for me."<br />
Red: "So? Leon's looking for everybody! Thank god, he thinks I'm dead." }}
* {{spoiler|[[The Deadliest Mushroom]]: To Eastwood. [[Real Life Writes the Plot|Although this was done to explain why Eastwood's set burned down.]] }}
Line 314:
** As the picture above shows, we finally see him in Episode 6 of Season 1.
* [[You Have Failed Me]]: It doesn't have the payoff it usually does, but Leon makes it clear he's '''NOT''' above crucifying his own men.
{{quote| '''Leon:''' ''"Larry... You know what I do to people who fail me. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't do that to you."''}}
 
=== Daniels ===
Line 325:
* [[Scary Black Man]]
* [[Theres No Kill Like Overkill]]: He calls Leon out on doing this to {{spoiler|Eastwood}} in Episode 6.
{{quote| '''Daniels''': "Sir, isn't that too much?"}}
* [[What an Idiot!]]: He got 200 and ''2000'' mixed up when he put the bounty out on Scar.
* [[You Have Failed Me]]: He's not killed (yet), but it's made pretty damn clear if he screws up again, he '''will''' be crucified.
