Haunted House on the Hill Tropes

[Rose Hathaway]

I was discussing this with Mayari earlier, and so far we've found these:

• Absurdly Sharp Blade: Or window, as the case may be.
  
• Cute is Evil: Squooshy. Duh.
  
• Alternate Timeline: Isn't this basically a huge part of the plot?
  
• Break the Cutie: Oh, so much.
  
• Anyone Can Die
  
• Eye Scream: Bryant, in one of the timelines
  
• How Many Fingers?
  
• Chekhov's Gun: The cell didn't seem like much at first, then they went after those hourglasses. Another thing we picked up is going to prove important later.
  
• Face Heel Turn: Bryant had this briefly when he shoved Liz, Quil, and Joseph in the cell
  
• Eldritch Abomination: Steve. Duh.
  
• The Greys: Steve, again.
  
• Haunted House: Ahem. The title is The Haunted House on the Hill.
  
• Kill 'Em All: Isn't this what we're doing right now?
  
• Mind Screw: So much.
  
• Stepford Smiler: Bryant has his Type A moments. They all kind of do.
  
• Five Man Band:
  The Hero: They also all have their moments, Denny and Angel, maybe Liz moreso than others. Bryant does have his heroic moments too.
  The Lancer: Denny, maybe Joseph
  The Smart Guy: Aria or Liz
  The Big Guy: Angel or Quil
  The Chick: Quite frankly, all of them have their moments, but Liz could fall under this due to her interventions between Leo and Denny.
  

What have you found?

[Book the Hero]

*Five-Man Band
*The Hero: Joseph
*The Lancer: Liz/Angel
*The Smart Guy: Aria
*The Big Guy: Leo, and maybe Quil, if she stopped being The Load
*The Chick: Denny
*Tagalong Kid: Bryant

[Rose Hathaway]

*Five-Man Band
*The Hero: Joseph
*The Lancer: Liz/Angel
*The Smart Guy: Aria
*The Big Guy: Leo, and maybe Quil, if she stopped being The Load
*The Chick: Denny
*Tagalong Kid: Bryant

Hm, I would peg Angel as a Big Guy, almost. And Liz as maybe the smart one. Leo hasn't really done much. :/

[quackers are yummylicious]

Of course, Joseph is the hero, Denny the chick. ;P How predictable of you Booky.

/resists urge to make nasty comment

[Book the Hero]

@Rose- He's the only one who has been able to put up a fight against Steve, without having to rely on Squooshy.

@Suvi- He's the Chick cause I knew you would get angry if I made him the Load.

[quackers are yummylicious]

I don't really give a crap where you placed my characters, I care why you placed them there. You never like my characters. Why? Because they tend to speak their mind, often against your flat, personality-less, all the fucking same characters.

People aren't perfect, they have flaws. Real flaws.

[Rose Hathaway]

I haven't really seen him do much though. :/

[Book the Hero]

I haven't really seen him do much though. :/

You can say the same for about three other characters.

@Suvi- Suvi, my characters aren't flat, or personalty-less. They have flaws, just like everyone else. And now, you accuse me of sticking your characters where they were cause I'm biased against them.

...Suvi, grow up.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Rose has asked that we take all arguments into PM. If I don't get a reply, Book, I'm going to be very pissed off.

[Book the Hero]

I don't have to.

[quackers are yummylicious]

You're making it very hard for me not to start ranting to you.

@Rose: You see? I told you so. /childish

[Rose Hathaway]

He's right, he doesn't have to, but you both can't bicker out here, so I at least request you be polite and professional to each other.

However, Book, I do request that you do answer her PM, and settle things, as it would make things a lot more pleasant when you're working on RPs together. If this site were bigger, I'd suggest avoiding each other. However, we don't have that many roleplays or participants that are active, and I understand this is virtually impossible. So please, work things out.

[Rose Hathaway]

Anyway, topic derailed, moving back to the topic.

If I were doing Five Man Band, I would arrange it like so:

The Hero: They also all have their moments, Denny and Angel, maybe Liz moreso than others. Bryant does have his heroic moments too.
The Lancer: Denny, maybe Joseph
The Smart Guy: Aria or Liz
The Big Guy: Angel or Quil
The Chick: Quite frankly, all of them have their moments, but Liz could fall under this due to her interventions between Leo and Denny.

To be honest, they all have their moments.

I went to the Trope Page of the game this RP was based off of, and I found that we have so far:

• Chekhov's Gun: The cell didn't seem like much at first, then they went after those hourglasses. Another thing we picked up is going to prove important later.
  
• Face Heel Turn: Bryant had this briefly when he shoved Liz, Quil, and Joseph in the cell
  
• Eldritch Abomination: Steve. Duh.
  
• The Greys: Steve, again.
  
• Haunted House: Ahem. The title is The Haunted House on the Hill.
  
• Kill 'Em All:[/b Isn't this what we're doing right now?
  
• [b]Mind Screw: So much.
  
• Stepford Smiler: Bryant has his Type A moments. They all kind of do.
