Tropes associated with The Harmon Verse

Adorkable: Almost all of the OCs in the Harmon Verse have their moments.
- Examples:
  - Jack and his love of Barry Manilow and all around closet geekiness
  - Mitchell in general
  - Michelle and her love of Ezio Auditore da Firenze
  - Dylan and his love of Mickie James
Breaking the Fourth Wall
Depending on the Writer: In the hands of Soulless Warlock and Gone Rampant, the Harmon Verse takes on a more surreal and absurd turn while Cola-Flavoured-Sherbert and Zero Ben's interpretation of it are more realistic...Well, as realistic as a universe centered around Glee can be. The character portrayals are pretty consistent, however.
Dysfunctional Family: Despite their rather heartwarming moments, the Harmon family is this in spades. Michelle seems to be a part of one as well.
Love Dodecahedron
Meet Cute: Although they didn't meet that way, Mitchell and Michelle have tendency to collide, trip and fall in each other's prescene.
Odd Friendship: Jack and just about anyone he is friends with the exception of Rachel. He is selfish, rude, and mildly demented, but he always comes through in the end.
Refuge in Audacity
True Companions: The entire Glee club, whether they be canon or fanon, exemplify this trope

Main Characters

Jack Harmon (Created by Soulless Warlock)

The eponymous character in the universe and the protagonist of the See It My Way series, which covers the first three seasons of the show. He can best be described as Jesse St. James on steroids and wants nothing more than to become a star of stage and screen. He is talented, but arrogant as hell and is not afraid to tell the members of New Directions what he is thinking at all times.

The Ace: Taken to riduclous extremes
Badass Normal
Comedic Sociopath
Crazy Prepared: He calls himself the master of the elaborate setup for a reason.
Deadpan Snarker
Face Heel Turn and Heel Face Turn: Does this little two-step at least once in a story.
Handsome Devil
Hollywood Dateless: Deconstructed in various stories
Missing Mom: A major arc in Season Two
Nay Theist
Original Character
Refuge in Audacity: At first, most of the things that came out of Jack's mouth were this. Still happens once in a while but has been toned down...for now.
Screw the Rules, I Have Money: Basically the street where he lives
Screw the Rules, I Have Connections
Sharp-Dressed Man: He wears a suit at almost all the time
Villain Protagonist: Could be considered this on some level
Vitriolic Best Buds
What the Hell, Hero?: Frequently guilty of these sorts of actions

Mitchell Mason (Created by Zero Ben)

Adorkable: While every one of the OCs have these moments, Mitchell deserves a special mention just for being himself.
Alliterative Name: His full name is Mitchell Marcus Mason
Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny: He may not suffer from ADD or ADHD, but this guy gets distracted at the worst possible times.
Beware the Nice Ones: The Sectionals chapter of A Different Point of View, Part One is a great example of this.
Dogged Nice Guy
Original Character

Mr. Fanservice: In-universe example

Butt Monkey: Has a tendancy to get beaten up by a lot of people
Deadpan Snarker: Lives and breaths this trope
Jerkass: Again, lives and breaths the trope.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Is one of these, at heart, but frequently does not-so-good things to other people.
Made of Iron: Ties in with Butt Monkey: He just keeps getting back up after people attack him.
Original Character
Relationship Upgrade: With Rachel in Recap's Season 2.
