Fatal Flaw: Difference between revisions

Line 33:

** However, Suzaku is unable to see that the people he sucks up to due to his lack of self-worth and desperate desire to be a Britannian are everything that he does not want and he is doing everything he claims he is against on a daily basis.

** {{spoiler|Shirley's}} attraction to Lelouch gets her killed when she confronts Rolo. Even though, she doesn't remember him, she trusts him because Lelouch seems to trust him.

* In ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'', Chrono's [[Our Demons Are Different|demonic instincts]] and [[Failure Knight|need to protect others]] (particularly Rosette) sometimes combine to give him a very, very [[Unstoppable Rage|dangerous temper]]. Since Chrono's powers [[Cast ~~From~~ Hit Points|drain Rosette's lifespan]] due to [[Deal with the Devil|their contract]], it's dangerous not just to him, but to Rosette herself. {{spoiler|In fact, in the manga this trope is taken literally, when Aion provokes Chrono into unsealing his powers himself and come at him with everything he's got. Several people are killed in the battle, and it drains so much of Rosette's life that the next time she unseals the watch, she dies.}}

* Death the Kid from ''[[Soul Eater]]'' has his [[Super OCD|raging OCD]] and self-esteem issues; the presence or lack of symmetry in his surroundings (or remembering that he may have forgotten to symmetrically fold his toilet paper roll this morning) can take him out of a battle in a heartbeat.

** In one case, Liz actually uses this against him to avoid getting into a battle in the first place, as the factory containing the Clown scared her, (and with good reason). She does something similar earlier, when taking note of Free's ball and chain to provoke Kid to attack the werewolf.

* ''[[Homicide: Life On the Street]]'' - Frank Pembleton's self-righteousness and moral absolutism drive everyone away from him, and eventually {{spoiler|force him to turn in Tim Bayliss, the closest thing he has to friend.}}

** Same goes for [[24|Jack Bauer]].

* ''[[Breaking Bad]]'' - Walter White's pride causes him to start cooking meth instead of accepting charity in the first place, and continues to get him into escalating trouble from there.

Line 133:

* [[White Wolf]] are generally pretty fond of this trope. ''[[Changeling: The Dreaming]]'' and ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]'' are particularly good examples as every sub-flavour of supernatural ("Kith" in ''Changeling'', "Clan" in ''Vampire'') has its own supernatural disadvantage.

* The ''[[New World of Darkness]]'' also has the option during character creation of giving a character a flaw which could potentially hinder them and - if done right - give extra experience points. Some of the flaws include addictions, Coward, Forgetful, and Behavior Blind.

* The Traitor Primarchs of [[Warhammer ~~40000~~]]. Other examples include the Emperor's [[Honor Before Reason|refusal to believe Magnus' warning of Horus' betrayal just because he was forced to break his vow of not using warpcraft]] or the Eldar's undying pride despite being on the brink of extinction.
