* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: ...some scenes use gore in a skilled enough manner to give the reader a serious case of the willies. A classic example would have to be Damien Carter-Madison's death scene, where he is ''heavily'' implied to be dragged into the gates of Hell by his former classmates. It's... unnerving and frightening, to say the least. |

** This trope could also easily explain why Orn "Dutchy" Ayers is so popular on the board. Dutchy is an [[Funny Foreigner|Icelandic]], [[Bi the Way|free-loving]] [[Nerds Are Sexy|comic book nerd]] who watches soccer and cries [[Tender Tears]] over the plight of third-world countries among other things. Add in his in-game posts, which makes many handlers see him as [[The Woobie]], and his habit of wearing a [[Pointless Band Aid]] over his nose, and you have a character who [[Ensemble Darkhorse|most of the board adores]]. |
