The All the Tropes Cast List

So you've created a new Trope? Good for you. But how to describe it? You don't want to look like you're favoring your favorite shows too much do you? Unfortunately you can't just explain what your new Trope is, you need a clear example in the summary text.

That's where this cast list comes in. On here the tropers create generic characters to use as examples...and for fun. Feel free to add your own characters or edit or add a portrait to an existing one.

Use the following format for cast members;

[Picture (optional)]

Name: [Character's name]
Age: [Age]
Occupation: [Do I still need to explain this?]
History: [Paragraph or two outlining their origin, citing as many tropes as possible]

And now, without further ado...

Name: Alice and Bob
Age: 24 (average)
Occupation: Unknown
History: Ah, Those Two Guys. Everyone knows them, although not too well. Bob is caught in a Love Triangle with Alice and ~~Eve~~ Carol.

Name: This Troper
Age: Unknown
Occupation: Everyman
History: This Troper is one of the dullest people in Troperville. He (or possibly she, no one really ever remembers) just exists to fill out the population.

Previously free to go on about his/her opinions and personal stories on the Trope pages, he now finds him increasingly restricted to Troper Tales and discussion pages. Whether this makes him bitter and yearning for revenge is unknown.

Name: Tropey the Wonder Dog
Age: In dog years
Occupation: Metaphorical dog.
History: A lovable mutt that brings out the best or worst in people. Prone to being alternately kicked and petted. Once did a stint in the pound under the name of "Old Shep".

Name: Officer Trope
Age: 30's
Occupation: Policeman
History: Troperville's resident Bobby on the beat. He cheerfully patrols the streets arresting ne'er-do-wells and keeping a watchful eye over Captain Tropeworthy. Despite public pressure he's failed to either bring in The Tropinator or even solve any real crimes. In his defense, though, allegations of Police Brutality are rare.

Name: Captain Tropeworthy
Age: Early 20s perhaps?
Occupation: The Cape (trope)
History: Fighting for Justice and Love (both explicit powers of his) using his skills of super strength, flight and invulnerability to fight crime (FOR JUSTICE!) and his cry of "Are you worthy of Troperville!?" to rally the populace despite the fact they happen to distrust him.

[No Picture Available]

Name: Dr. Unnotable
Age: Late 30s perhaps?
Occupation: The Cape (trope)
History: Hated by all, this Mad Scientist uses the skills of his Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate in Evilutionary Biology to create a new Biological Mashup which he claims will certainly destroy Captain Tropeworthy this week. Remember not to sneeze near him and to write his name with two "u"s.

Name: The Tropinator
Age: In his 90s, appears to be 30ish
Occupation: Anti-Hero
History: Captain Tropeworthy's slightly more cynical self styled "colleague". His Healing Factor helps balance his haemophilia, which tends to cause quite a mess when he's wounded.

[No Picture Available]

Name: Mr. Tropes
Age: 36

Name: Niisama
Age: A few years older than you
Occupation: Freelance Stoic
History: Hey, here comes Niisama, your older brother! You can always tell it's him by his dramatically billowing coat, the designer glasses he likes to affect, his emotionless, rational air, and, of course, his pretty, pretty, pretty face. Enjoy his company while you can, because he doesn't have much time for people below his standards, which means you. Perhaps if you managed to defeat him in single combat, you could finally win his respect. Maybe he'd even hang out with you and your friends in an auxiliary/snarky capacity! I wouldn't try it, though. You're probably Years Too Early.
