Line 11: Do not let the simple and [[High School AU\|somewhat familiar]] concept [[Better Than It Sounds\|fool you]]. It was created specifically to prove that a well-written PPG/RRB Highschool Fic [[Sturgeon's Law\|could be done]]. It also has ''really'' long chapters, averaging 26k words a chapter; so prepare for a long read. Not to be confused with the 1953 novel by [[Theodore Sturgeon]] or the 2005 non-fiction book by [[Ramez Naam]]. {{tropelist}} Line 18 ⟶ 21: ** Technically, he's not the older brother, as all three of the Rowdyruff Boys were born at the same time (the same applies to the girls as well), but his "seniority" over Butch and Boomer and his being more mature than both of them make him this in spirit. * [[Beach Episode]]: Chapter 6, unusual for a beach episode in that it actually advances the plot. * [[Beauty, Brains, and Brawn]] * [[Birds of a Feather]]: Considering it's a romance fic, all the couples are pretty much this. * [[Black and Gray Morality]]: Brick's view of the world. This often brings him at loggerheads with Blossom, whose view is more [[Black and White Morality\|absolute]]. Buttercup also shares this view to a slight degree, which allows her to maintain her friendship to Butch, and to a lesser degree, the rest of the boys, {{spoiler\|despite knowing they work for [[Evil, Inc.]]}} * [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: Two pairs, opposite genders. * [[Blood Knight]]: [[The Big Guy\|Buttercup and Butch]]. Moreso Butch. * [[Blue Eyes]]: Bubbles and Boomer. * [[Boarding School]]: Princess gets sent away to one. Taken her reaction, it might as well be a [[Boarding School of Horrors]]. * [[Bratty Half -Pint]]: [[Spoiled Brat\|Princess Morbucks]]. * [[Casual Danger Dialog]]: Butch and Boomer tend to get chatty when faced in a dangerous situation, Brick not so much. Exemplified in Chapter 5, when all of them openly talk amongst themselves in front of a bunch of armed men {{spoiler\|[[Hostage Situation\|taking students hostage in the gymnasium]], including the girls,}} while taunting them. * [[Combat Sadomasochist]]: Butch likes both inflicting and receiving pain in a fight. Line 37 ⟶ 40: * [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Boomer to anyone who slights him or Bubbles. * [[Distaff Counterpart]]: The Rowdyruff Boys, of course. * [[~~Distressed~~ Damsel in Distress]]: Robin has been taken hostage several times, to the point where she's just really annoyed and complains about it, ''even during a gunfight''. {{quote\| '''Robin''': "This is, what, like the fifth time in my entire life? I need to move the hell out of Townsville!"}} * [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: Blossom, usually with her dance group. Brick towards his brothers when they get out of line. * [[Dumb Muscle]]: Bubbles' boyfriend, Will, may have been this, considering [[Honor Before Reason\|he had no qualms against trying to pick a fight]] with ''Boomer'', whom he obviously had no chance against. Line 68 ⟶ 71: * [[Mugging the Monster]]: [[What an Idiot!\|The criminals]] {{spoiler\|who took over the school gymnasium while taking hostages}}. Yeah, pointing a gun at ''Brick'' and threatening him is not the most solid of plans. * [[Nice Hat\|Nice Cap]]: Brick's, which he apparently rarely takes off in public (or at all). * [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]]: Brick delivers one to Butch after the latter, ignoring Brick's orders to not pick a fight with the Powerpuffs or cause any havoc in town, deliberately provokes Buttercup into attacking him. The brutality of Brick's beatdown, and his subsequently removal of Butch's powers (temporarily) to prevent Butch's [[Healing Factor]] from fixing his injuries (though there were other considerations involved in Butch having his powers removed) horrifies Blossom. Brick justifies his actions by pointing out that Butch [[The Sociopath\|is a borderline psychopath]], and violence is the [[Violence Really Is the Answer\|only way to keep him in line at times]]. * [[Non-Idle Rich]]: Mrs. Morbucks, who constantly travels the world while dealing with renowned corporations, the traveling stops though when she comes back to Townsville to put Princess into a boarding school and clear the Morbucks' reputation. * [[Not So Stoic]]: Brick, when he gets ''really pissed off''. Line 78 ⟶ 81: * [[Painted-On Pants]]: Bubbles' outfit at Princess' party. Brick was happy to [[Lampshade Hanging\|lampshade]] it. * [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: In their fight in Chapter 2, Buttercup and Butch damaged fifteen city blocks, a large public parking structure, all the windows of an office building, a water main, as well as a big part of the school. * [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Princess. * [[The Stoic]]: Brick, until [[Berserk Button\|something doesn't go]] [[Not So Stoic\|how he wants it to]]. * [[Title Drop]]: Buttercup does it while talking to Butch. {{quote\| '''Buttercup:''' ''"I get it. All that shit you said yesterday, about fighting, and the pain, and spilling blood, the rush, the god-like superiority over everything when you're winning and the push to be... to be something '''more than human''' when you're beat to shit and your body's feeling weaker than one..." She wet her lips, pressed them together, and took a deep breath before nodding. "Yeah. I get that."'''}} * [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Brick's eyes are red to begin with, but become ''[[Up to Eleven\|even more so]]'' when he's angry, probably prepared to fire lasers. * [[Redheaded Hero]]: Blossom, of course. * [[Rich Bitch]]: Princess Morbucks. Line 90 ⟶ 93: ** There was a year's gap between chapters 4 and 5. * [[She's Got Legs]]: Blossom, which is one of her main attractive points according to boys, especially Butch. * [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Butch playfully ships Utonium/Bellum mainly through their interactions and his own twisted humor. ** Bubbles has her fun trying to get Blossom and Brick together. * [[Sick Episode]]: In Chapter 8, the Rowdyruffs all contract the Amoeba Boy virus, which left them bedridden for a day. Brick took much longer to recover because [[Working Through the Cold\|he tried to ignore it]]. Line 100 ⟶ 103: * [[The Smart Guy]]: Blossom and Brick, obviously. * [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Buttercup and Bubbles. * [[Villain Byby Default]]: Blossom's view on the boys, even when they haven't done anything worth noting. {{spoiler\|This opinion sort of changes after the hostage incident though.}} * [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Type 2. Buttercup and Butch, out of all people, are the first of either group to actually become good friends. However, this isn't to say that the insults stop for a ''second.'' * [[What the Hell, Hero?\|What The Hell]] [[Anti-Villain]]: Blossom and Buttercup react violently when Brick {{spoiler\|forced Bubbles into taking an attack from the black fog. They calm down a little when he attempted to [[I Can Explain\|justify his reasoning]]. Boomer's reaction to it was more discreet.}} * [[Win Your Freedom]]: The reason the Rowdyruffs were no longer under Him was because {{spoiler\|Brick won their freedom by answering HIM's riddle, [[Unwinnable Byby Design\|one so complex and involved]] that it had actually taken him weeks to get through it.}} {{reflist}} [[Category:~~More Than Human~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Fanfic]]
