[[Knight Pokémon University
So there's a number of characters.
Line 12:
* [[Ineffectual Loner]]
* [[It's All About Me]]
* [[Kuudere]]: Type 1. Tried to [[Emotionless Girl|repress her emotions]] at a [[Used to Be
* [[Lack of Empathy]]
* [[Parents
* [[Raven Hair, Ivory Skin]]
* [[Somebody Else's Problem]]: The school is going into lock-down? Not her problem.
=== Caramon Dun ===
* [[The Atoner]]: Averted. He does not feel bad for what he did to survive in Orre.
* [[Bag of Holding]]: His ever-present backpack, just like every Pokemon game's protagonist ever.
* [[Cheerful Child]]: Weather the Castform qualifies, despite being male and non-human. Justified as he is very young, but remains relatively cheerful in the face of [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]] inducing ghosts.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Was a thief in Orre before coming to KPU. Not the best example (he generally admits to it, and doesn't feel badly about it), but close enough to qualify.
* [[Ineffectual Loner]]: Sometimes.
* [[I Work Alone]]: He doesn't ask for help, but doesn't argue when it comes his way.
* [[Tricksters]]: Shade his Sableye sometimes tries to be one. Hasn't had much of a chance to do so in the RP, however.
Line 38:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't ever insult or threaten his Pokémon. And never, ever, ''ever'' accuse him of dating anyone.
* [[Bio Augmentation]]: Basically the whole reason for his existence—he started life as a "testing ground" for human genetic engineering.
* [[Can't Have Sex Ever]]: Being an experimental clone has its drawbacks. As it is uncertain what would become of any potential offspring, Colin's stepfather forbids him to attempt reproduction. Not to mention the excitement of non-reproductive sex [[Death
* [[Catch Phrase]]: You ''know'' things just got serious when you hear Colin say in a low, almost creepy voice, "[[I Gave My Word|This I vow.]]"
* [[Cloning Blues]]: Colin is an [[Opposite
* [[Everyone Is Christian At Christmas]]: [[Averted Trope|Averted]]. Colin is an adamant [[Parody Religion|Arceist]].
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Colin would like to pretend to be a Kuudere, but his fuse is as short as they come.
Line 50:
* [[Narm]]: Any time his creator tries to write a dramatic scene with him. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lamp]][[Self-Deprecation|shaded]] mercilessly.
* [[Oh My Gods]]: Colin is known to take Arceus' name in vain frequently.
* [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]: Repeated tampering with his brain before his "birth" had the side effect of making his nervous system hypersensitive. [[Cursed
* [[Overly Long Name]]: His full name is Colin Francis Harry Pierino Sonan.
** [[Meaningful Name]]: "Colin" could be a corruption of "clone", while "Sonan" could be a corruption of "sundown", referring to his private alias, "Twilight" (no, not [[Twilight (
* [[Overprotective Dad]] / [[Fantasy-Forbidding Father]]: Colin's adoptive father may qualify, denying Colin many of the everyday pleasures enjoyed by natural-born humans in an effort to protect him. Probably justified in several cases. [[Fridge Logic|No one's really sure what made the old man agree to let Colin become a trainer.]]
* [[Parody Religion]]: Colin adheres to the Sinnoh and Hoenn creation myths... [[Fridge Logic|despite having been born in Holon and calling Johto home]].
Line 67:
* [[Embarrassing Middle Name]]: His full name is 'Jack Russell Snow'...
* [[Embarrassing Nickname]]: ...so his friends call him 'Terrier'.
* [[Goggles Do Something Unusual]]: His visor.
* [[Iron Butt Monkey]]: His first appearance on campus involves him falling from the sky, smacking his face on a lamp post, and landing upside down in a rubbish bin.
* [[Techno Babble]]: Always present in scenes where he's working on inventions.
Line 77:
* [[Accidental Kiss]]: Between Joanie and Annie when they were fourteen. Annie didn't really like it, but Joanie sees that moment as [[Bi the Way|a wake-up call]].
* [[Ascended Extra]]: The girls started life as nameless NPCs for a throwaway joke. Their creator decided he liked them, so he developed them further.
* [[Away in
* [[Berserk Button]]:
** Don't insult or threaten Joanie's back-up girls. Using her second surname (Fulquard) is also likely to get you an earful.
Line 116:
* [[I Know Karate]]: Bella. She doesn't make this known unless someone tries to put the moves on her, though. [[Fridge Logic|No one really knows]] ''[[Fridge Logic|how]]'' [[Fridge Logic|she knows karate...]]
** [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] slightly in that she's more of a [[Combat Pragmatist]] than a martial artist, but the fact that she of all people can hold her own in a hand-to-hand fight means she still qualifies.
* [[Jive Turkey]]: [[Playing
** [[Not Even Bothering
* [[Jukebox Musical]]: These girls ''are'' this trope.
** [[Waxing Lyrical]]: When they don't feel like doing a full-blown song, they do this instead.
Line 124:
** "'''Collie'''" was obviously a reference to '''Colin''' Sonan, while "'''Calloway'''" was a reference to '''Calvin''' Dersen, [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome|who has since left the game]]. Her three middle names are explained below, and are meant to reflect the similar theme of Colin's middle names.
** "'''Annie'''" was meant to reference '''Andrew''' Strickland, another character who has since faded into the background, while "'''Jameson'''" was a reference to none other than the Tactics instructor himself, '''James''' Dalton. Her middle name, "Persephone", was added when her first name was expanded into "Andromeda", to continue the theme.
** "'''Bella'''" was so named as a joke—her intended target was '''[[Twilight (
* [[The Music Meister]]: Though they have yet to demonstrate this ability in canon, it would be unsurprising to find that the girls can drag [[Crowd Song|entire crowds of NPCs into musical numbers]].
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Joanie, who gave herself and her girls their most well-known monikers, as well as nicknaming Kiera ("Ki-Ki") and Horsley ("Horsey") and favoring Jonathan and Melissa's self-applied pet names ("J. J." and "Bliss") over their real names. She is also the only other person who knows about Colin's secret alias, "Twilight", but [[Take That|she seems to prefer his real name in this case]].
Line 140:
* [[Plot Hole]]: Too many to count, but the most [[TV Tropes Drinking Game|egregious]] one is a scene in Day Five, "Passing Time": Joanie claims that Collie is legally barred from owning any Pokémon and so doesn't have any. However, following the back-up girls' promotion from NPCs to full player characters, Collie suddenly has an Eevee '''''in the exact same scene'''''. [[Lampshade Hanging]] pending.
* [[Retcon]]: In ''spades'', almost to the point of parody.
* [[Robo Speak]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]]/[[Parodied Trope|parodied]]. Annie's Porygon-Z could well use "Analyzing," and "[[Oh Crap|Okay, ]]''[[Oh Crap|that is not normal!]]''" in the same sentence.<br />'''<small>Porygon-Z:</small>''' <small>{{
* [[Robot Buddy]]: Annie's Porygon-Z probably qualifies.
* [[Shipper
* [[Shorter Means Smarter]]: The difference in height is very easy to miss, but Annie is actually the shortest of the four girls.
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Bella, [[Berserk Button|until someone touches her]] in the wrong place.
Line 188:
* [[Depraved Bisexual]]: A little too good at socializing with gals... And don't get me started on her love for Lyvanis...
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Gangsters killed everything she knew and loved.
* {{spoiler|[[Let Them Die Happy]]: Reserved for Lyvanis in the bitter end.}}
* [[Living a Double Life]]: Complete with different mannerisms and speech patterns.
* [[Must Have Caffeine]]: Coffee every morning. You don't wanna meet her without it.
* [[Necessarily Evil]]: She'll become the evil that destroyed her world in order to establish a world she can believe in. Cool, huh?
* [[Start of Darkness]]: Gangsters. Why'd they have to mess everything up?
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: And it's gonna be good.
