Line 613:
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]s: Many of the non-metas with two stand-outs being Wanderer and the Equalizer. Either one will use whatever they have to to win.
* [[Compound Interest Time Travel Gambit]]: Jonathan Lowe accidentally benefits from this when she discovers her bank account still exists after spending 170 years in [[Suspended Animation]].
* [[Contemporary Caveman]]: Clarence Gaffney, AKA The Savage. Unlike the usual examples of the trope, he made it into the modern era the ''long'' way, being [[Immortality|immortal]], and had more than enough time to acquire a veneer of civilization and proficiency with dozens of languages.
* [[Conversational Troping]]: In ''The Secret Collocation of Alex Mack,'' Harry Dresden describes a tactic used by Terawatt and Stormburst as "[[Summon Bigger Fish]]", and actually makes a comment in his narration about explanations for the "trope-deficient".
* [[Consummate Liar]]: WO1 Stewart Scott is one of the best for survival reasons, seeing as he had to go undercover in the [[The Mafiya|Russian Underworld]] for almost a year and a half and not get killed. Argyle Garrett qualifies as long as the person he's lying to is law enforcement. If he tries lying to anybody else, he's a [[Bad Liar|ridiculously bad liar]]. All of the Mundy Family learned this skill as they grew up, they couldn't help it.
