Line 27:
 
* [[Accidental Kiss]]: {{spoiler|With [[Stalker with a Crush|Piruja]] in the fourth album. [[Squick|He's not amused]].}}
* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: If not for Frank feeling pity for him, he would have been victim of this trope. [[Jerkass|With]] [[Spoiled Brat|good]] [[No Social Skills|reasonsreason]].
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Subverted/Deconstructed. He drives people away due to acting like this trope.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type V. {{spoiler|Briefly a Type IV [[Anti-Villain]] in the fourth album.}}
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]
Line 42 ⟶ 43:
* [[Grumpy Bear]]
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: It's very easy to get him on his nerves.
* [[Hidden Heart of Gold]]: It'sHinted buried '''very''' deep down, but it's thereat. In the first album, he shows concern about his family being in danger, and in the second helps the gang in taking down [[Big Bad|Miss Hit]] for no reason whatsoever.
* [[Inferiority Superiority Complex]]: Implied, although he usually shows only the "Superiority" part.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: "Von Pijo", an embarrassing one.
* [[It's All About Me]]: His main character trait.
* [[Jerkass]]: He's a rude, entitledself-centered, spoiled vampire who treats pretty much everyone like shit. And it's [[Played for Laughs]].
** [[Jerk with a Heart of Jerk]]/[[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Zigzags between the two. He does most things for his own benefit, but he can act selflessly when things are tough (See [[Hidden Heart of Gold]] above).
* [[Lonely Rich Kid]]: Not as sympathetic as other examples, but he's shown to be quite lonely and doesn't comprehend friendship well (the fact the "friends" he had in Miedópolis had to be paid to play with him speaks volumes of this fact).
* '''[[Narcissist]]'''
Line 56:
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Played with. He's physically the Sensitive Guy, but he has a rude, agressive personality that contradicts this trope. This is in contrast to Frank's kind and level-headed Manly Man.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Subverted in the "small name" part.
* [[Spoiled Brat]]/[[Royal Brat]]: No shit.
* [[The Starscream]]: Tries to be this to Frank. Keyword being ''"tries"''.
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: He's the only member of the gang who is a complete [[Jerkass]]. He also serves as this to his family.
Line 66:
=== Frank Einstein Jr. ===
 
* [[The Ace]]: He's known as this, at least in [[Big Brother Worship|Gus]]' eyes. He's more of a [[Broken Ace]], though, given his severe insecurities underneath his self-confident exterior.
* [[Adorkable]]: To a T, especially when he tries to talk to [[Love Interest|Henrietta]].
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: How his older sister Francesca sees him.
Line 73:
* [[Break the Cutie]]: In the second album. He does get better, though.
* [[Breakout Character]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Noticeably so, especially in the second album.
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: His feelings towards Henrietta. Justified due to Henrietta's [[Split Personality|personality issues]] and his own poor self-esteem.
* [[Cute Bookworm|Cute]]/ [[Badass Bookworm]]
* [[Cool Big Sis|Cool Big Bro]]: To his gang, doubling as a [[Big Brother Mentor]], although he acts more like an [[Aloof Big Brother]] with Victor ([[Jerkass|justifiably]] [[Spoiled Brat|so]]).
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Ditzy Genius]]: He's very smart, but lacks common sense.
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]/[[Bungling Inventor]]: Wavers between the two depending on the plotstory.
* [[Hair of Gold]]
* [[Heroic Self-Deprecation]]
Line 90 ⟶ 91:
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: The Manly to Gus' Sensitive. Played with Victor, see Victor's entry above.
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Regarding Henrietta. [[Everyone Can See It|No one believes him, of course]].
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Type A. He pretends to be a confident leader for the sake of the gang, but inside he's a depressed and self-deprecating boy due to his body issues. He doubles as a [[Stepford Snarker]] when dealing with [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents|his family]].
* [[Single-Target Sexuality]]: He wasn't interested in romance until he met [[Rose-Haired Girl|Henrietta]].
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Type A. He pretends to be a confident leader for the sake of the gang, but inside he's a depressed and self-deprecating boy due to his body issues. He doubles as a [[Stepford Snarker]] when dealing with [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents|his family]]
* [[Team Dad]]
* [[Tender Tears]]: When pushed enough, as seen in the second album.
Line 124:
* [[Morality Pet]]: She makes [[Perky Goth|Guillotine]] much more likable with her presence.
* [[Redhead in Green]]/[[Green Eyed Red Head]]
* [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]: She seems to haveform one with [[Rose-Haired Girl|Henrietta]].
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: The only confirmed member of the gang to be female.
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: A fairly innocent and sympathetic example, but still.
Line 176:
* [[Mummy]]: [[Captain Obvious|Well, duh]].
* [[No Mouth]]: His mouth is usually hidden behind his bandages.
* [[The Power of the Sun]]: His already high strength goes [[Up to Eleven]] when he gets in contact with sunlight.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The Red to Lupo's Blue.
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: The manly to Lupo's sensitive.
* [[Super Strength]]: He has this quality, turned [[Up to Eleven]]especially when getting in contact with [[The Power of the Sun|sunlight]]. Being a very clumsy kid, in addition to forget he has this quality, it causes problems more often than not.
* [[Surfer Dude]]: He's usually seen surfing, though seeing him skating is not very rare either.
* [[Troll]]: Not as much as Lupo, but he clearly has fun messing with Victor, usually taking advantage of his inability to understand him.
Line 207 ⟶ 208:
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: Loves sweets a lot, or at least cakes.
* [[Technicolor Eyes]]: Has red eyes, with black eyeballs.
* [[Tender Tears]]: Getting him to cry is ridiculously easy.
* [[Undignified Death]]: It's revealed that {{spoiler|he and his family's cause of death was because of a poisonous car freshener, asphyxiating them.}} As per the nature of the comic, it's [[Played for Laughs]]. {{spoiler|It's dubious if this happened in the real world, though.}}
 
Line 214:
=== Henrietta ===
 
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Type II/IV. It's not her fault she has a crazy evil side trying to take over...
* [[Apologises a Lot]]: Mostly because of [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Miss Hit]].
* [[Berserk Button]]: Never tell her [[Split Personality|split personalities]] are funny. Mienai learned this the ''hard'' way. {{spoiler|While it was part of Victor's nightmare, given her troubles with her [[Super-Powered Evil Side]], this would still be plausible in the real world.}}
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: She's a sweet, polite and adorable little girl with a [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] that can kick ass in less than a second.
* [[Break His Heart to Save Him]]: She tries to drive Frank and the others away from her due to [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Miss Hit]], and it's implied to have been doing this before. Luckily, [[Throw the Dog a Bone|she doesn't have to do it as much anymore]].
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Having to deal with [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Miss Hit]] hasn't done any good towards her. She gets better, at least slightly.
* [[Broken Bird]]: She was introduced as this. Thankfully, this has started to fade dueand tois takingnow levelsmore in cheerfulnesscheerful.
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Her feelings for Frank. [[Super-Powered Evil Side|With good reason]].
* [[The Cutie]]: So much. No wonder Frank falls hard for her.
Line 244:
* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: He's ostracized due to his smell. He doesn't care that much for this, though, since he doesn't even want to join a particular gang.
* {{spoiler|[[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: In the second album, he's one of Miss Hit's victims.}}
* [[The Friend Nobody Likes]]: ToPlayed with. He's this to Mr. Abra's class, due to being [[The Pig Pen]]. That said, how well or badly they treat him depends on the character being either a [[Nice Guy]] or a [[Jerkass]] respectively.
* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]: Played with. He's interested in becoming friends with [[Jerkass|Victor]], but he doesn't want to join a particular gang, and seems happy in his loneliness.
* [[Innocently Insensitive]]: He's a well-intentioned kid, but is unaware of how much his [[The Pig Pen|Pig Pen]] status can bother people. For example: He keeps showing [[Ill Girl|Henrietta]] gross things, when she is known for having a [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot|very weak stomach]].
Line 376:
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Minion with an F In Evil]]: Not as much or nearly as sympathetic as Mienai, but still counts as this due to sheer incompetence.
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]
* [[The Unfavourite]]: Non-related example. His mother treats him like crap, while she swoons over [[The Cutie|Gus]].
 
Line 426 ⟶ 427:
* [[Jekyll and Hyde]]: The Hyde to Henrietta's Jekyll, obviously enough.
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: While not exempt of comedic quirks, "El Perfeccionator" has a more serious plotline due to her putting both Frank and Henrietta's emotions through the ringer. {{spoiler|After her [[Villain Decay]], however, she subverts the trope and becomes completely comedic.}}
* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Henrietta's. So obvious there's no need for spoiler tags to cover it.
* [[Super Strength]]
Line 445 ⟶ 446:
* [[Love Redeems]]: He ends up falling for Piruja's mother. {{spoiler|It doesn't last long}}.
* [[Not-So-Harmless Villain]]
* [[Obviously Evil]]
* [[Spiders Are Scary]]
* [[Walking Spoiler]]: It's hard to talk about him without spoilering several events in the fourth album.
Line 450 ⟶ 452:
=== Flan Hellsing ===
 
* [[Anti-Villain]]: He tries to be a villainousdangerous monster hunter, but absolutely ''sucks'' at it.
* [[Beard of Evil]]: Although the "evil" part is [[Harmless Villain|debatable]].
* [[Cool Guns]]
Line 494 ⟶ 496:
=== The Von Piros ===
 
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Inverted. Victor treats them like his personal servants, while they give him whatever he wants. [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other|He does care for them, though]].
* [[All Take and No Give]]: Their relationship with [[Spoiled Brat|Victor]].
* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents]]: ''Especially'' [[Cloudcuckoolander|Victor's grandmother]].
Line 551 ⟶ 552:
* [[Aloof Big Brother]] [[Big Brother Bully|Bully]]: According to Lupo, Lupus is a mild version of this.
** [[Big Brother Instinct]]: That said, Lupus seems concerned for his siblings' well-being.
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]s: Lupo's little brothers have shades of this, although they turn out to be more responsible than expected once their older brother Lupo falls asleep, as usual.
* [[Big Brother Worship]]: Lupe, Lupín and Segismundo towards Lupo, as long as he doesn't [[Sleepyhead|fall asleep]].
* {{spoiler|[[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Lupus in the second album.}}
