BIG REMINDER | Sat Dec 03, 2016 1:12 pm by feathertail | Just a quick reminder to all campers to reply to characters' bio forms when they are no longer in use as characters to let us know that fact so we can keep the collection up to date, and also to reply in the Faceclaim, Who's Who, and Cabin lists so that we can work as efficiently as possible!
Thank you,

| Subject: CHB Character Tropes! Mon Mar 16, 2015 8:49 pm | |
| So, recently I got into doing TV Tropes ( here) for my characters. And after doing a few I decided to finally do some for Lyssy--she's the only character I plan to actually do them for considering I've had lots of time with her on ROTD and out of ROTD. Without further adieu here they are! Feel free to do some for your characters. - Spoiler:
The Ace: Very good at what she does, even trained for 7 (almost 8 ) years.
Abusive Parents: Her mother, she locked her away in her house when Alyssa was a child and constantly ignored her--or yelled at her even when she didn’t need to. The only time she was nice was on her Birthday and Holidays. Basically, she was mentally abusive.
Action Girl: Shown to jump into action many times.
Action Survivor: This is honestly the biggest reason she’s alive right now.
Adults are Useless: Her mother was basically useless in her childhood, hardly teaching her anything along with barely being there for her as a mother and adult role model.
Afraid of Blood: Check.
Allergic to Routine: Easily gets bored with the same thing.
Attention Deficit. . .Ooh Shiny!: Goes hand-in-hand with her ADHD. But yes, she does have a short attention span.
Attention Whore: Was mostly this as a child, sometimes seems to give out an air of attention grabbing. . . It depends on the situation, though.
Author Avatar: Named after her creator, Alyssa, and resembles her in a lot of ways.
Badass: If she’s lived this long after fighting monsters for years and has years of experience, how does that not make her one? >Badass Bookworm: Surprisingly is a bookworm despite not looking like one and a Badass.
Bad Dreams: Comes with being a Demigod.
Beneath The Mask: Underneath all her happiness and giggles she’s actually pretty broken, insecure, and frightened, however the fact she can hide it so well is what makes people unable to see what’s underneath.
Berserk Button: She’s not necessarily violent, but harming her friends in any manner gets her pretty riled up.
Blade on a Stick: She can actually summon her sword, Prophemi.
Book Dumb: Never went to school--not once, not ever.
Break the Cutie: Having to watch her mother die for the sake of her broke her a lot. However only on the inside does this show. On the outside she hides it so it’s difficult to actually notice this.
Broken Bird: Despite not showing it she’s been pretty broken inside for a while.
Brutal Honesty: She’s actually pretty brutal in her honesty. . . Showing to accidentally offend other campers about their personalities. I.e. calling Zeus kids full of themselves.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Has a numerous amount of quirks but is good at what she does.
Cannot Spit It Out: Shown to be unable to voice her feelings, even when she asked Jayce out she used her Photokinesis to write out her question.
Cheerful Child: Seems very happy and hardly is seen in an upset mood. However, sometimes she's unable to tell if she's cheerful to put up a front or if she's actually happy.
Child Soldier: Learning to fight since she was 10. If that doesn’t make her one I don’t know what will.
Cloudcuckoolander: Her mind is everywhere, she’s spacey and an airhead at times--along with being childish and more comic relief in almost all situations.
Combat Medic: Because her father is Apollo she’s automatically The Medic, but because she’ll heal on the battlefield she’s considered this.
Cool Big Sis: To all her younger, half-siblings.
Covert Pervert: Heh. . .
Disappeared Dad: Because her father, Apollo, was never around like all gods she never had a father.
Don't You Dare Pity Me!
Dumb Blondes: Not necessarily dumb but she’s not that smart. . . she’s also a blonde.
Enthralling Siren: Not a Siren but has the ability to convey emotions to other people with her singing.
Family Honor: Wants to make her family proud, well, mostly just her mother, but she was never able to.
Fangirl: Of many things: bees, music, couples, stuffed animals, etc. . . .
For Happiness: Wants to make sure everyone else around her in happy, all the things she does--even playing off her own happiness--is to please those around her.
Friendless Background: Had no friends as a child, unless you considered “the sun” one.
Genius Ditz: She’s pretty knowledgeable to a point, especially when it comes to music, poetry, bow and arrow, medical, and books. However she’s a Ditz.
Genki Girl
Girl In The Tower: Technically not a tower, but she was locked away in her house by her mother.
Girls Love Stuffed Animals: She’s practically obsessed with stuffed animals, it’s not even hidden at this point.
Glomp: Seen to do this many times when she sees her close friends.
Go Mad From Isolation: Being in isolation from the world really screwed her up mentally; she’s unsure how to act, an internal mess, and socially awkward to a point.
Half-Human Hybrid: Demigod.
Heroic Bastard: Automatically one considering Apollo and her mortal mother never got married.
Heroes Prefer Swords: She uses a sword despite being skilled expertly in bow and arrow.
Human Mom, Non-Human Dad: Mortal mother while her father is the Greek god, Apollo.
I Just Want To Be Normal: Has this a lot, seeing as she’s a demigod and has to basically fight for her life she wants to live a normal mortal life.
I Just Want To Have Friends: She wants to have the friends she never had as a child.
Improbable Aiming Skills: Naturally skilled at bow and arrow, from her father.
Innocent Blue Eyes: She has light blue, innocent eyes that represent her well.
Kissing Cousins: With Jayce (though he's technically her uncle in a sense...ewlet'snotgointothatpls). However, since they're not from the same cabin their relationship is perfectly fine..
Light 'em Up: Able to manipulate light.
L is for Dyslexia: All half-bloods have this, including Alyssa.
Nice Girl: Nice to everyone unless given other reason not to.
No Social Skills: . . To a point, she has social skills, she’s just not exactly sure how she’s supposed to react or interact with certain situations and people.
Official Couple: With Jayce Fulgora.
Only Sane Man: Because she can see through mist, being a demigod, she's able to see the truth of what is really there.
Parental Abandonment: Mother died, her father is never around to begin with.
Plucky Girl: Despite going through a lot she’s still willing to fight and be upbeat.
Pride: Tends to show this at time, being the child of Apollo it comes naturally here and there.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red oni to Esmee’s blue oni.
Ship Tease: With Jayce, until they actually became a thing.
Stepford Smiler: She smiles more or less to hide her true emotions, however that’s not the case 24-7, just most of the time.
Strong Family Resemblance: To her mom, mostly because unlike most children of Apollo she was born with brown hair (even though it’s now blonde) like her mother and very similar facial features.
Survivor Guilt: Her mother sacrificed her life to save her.
Taught by Experience: True to a point, a lot of the things she’s learned over the years came with trial and error.
The Ditz: Naive and sweet, but stupid to a point. She can’t exactly help this--she wasn’t taught how to act and had to learn on her own.
The Runaway: Ran away from home on her 10th birthday, resulting in her mother’s death and also what brought her to CHB.
Training from Hell: Her training at CHB has almost killed her. . . a good amount of times.
Troubled, But Cute: Like the trope says, cute and childlike but troubled internally.
Undying Loyalty: To her friends and family.
Weapon of Choice: A sword made of light, Prophemi.
Why did it have to be Snakes?: She’s actually scared of snakes, coincidentally in a sense.
You Are What You Hate: Represents her father a lot in a sense, even though she hates him.

| Jayce Fulgora Badass Bookworm: Surprisingly is a bookworm despite not looking like one and a Badass. Bad Dreams: Comes with being a Demigod. Book Smart: Graduated from high school. Cannot Spit It Out: Shown to be unable to voice his feelings. Disappeared Dad: Because his father, Zeus, was never around like all gods he never had a father. Dumb Blondes: Inverted. May be a blonde, but he's smarter than you think. Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Jayce's life wasn't full of tragedy like most other demigods', so he's actually more mentally put-together than most other demigods and is a great person due to his upbringing. He's also blonde. Half-Human Hybrid: Demigod. Heroic Bastard: Automatically one considering Zeus and his mortal mother never got married. Human Mom, Non-Human Dad: Mortal mother while his father is the Greek god, Zeus. Kissing Cousins: With Alyssa. (though she's technically his niece in a sense...) However, since they're not from the same cabin their relationship is perfectly fine. L is for Dyslexia: All half-bloods have this, including Jayce. Momma's Boy: He's very close to his mortal mother. Nice Guy: Good-hearted and kind. No Social Skills: Socially awkward in most scenarios. Official Couple: With Alyssa Serrano. Only Sane Man: Because he can see through mist, being a demigod, he's able to see the truth of what is really there. Ship Tease: With Alyssa, until they actually became a thing. Shock and Awe: Being the son of the god of the sky gives him lightning powers. Weapon of Choice: A silver whip.
Xavier Del Mar The Ace: Very good at what hedoes, even trained for 6 (almost 7) years. Action Guy: Shown to jump into action many times. Action Survivor: This is honestly the biggest reason he’s alive right now. Allergic to Routine: Easily gets bored with the same thing. Attention Deficit. . .Ooh Shiny!: Goes hand-in-hand with his ADHD. But yes, he does have a short attention span. Animal Talk: Can talk to horses and other vaguely equine beasts and sea creatures, since his dad made them. Badass: If he’s lived this long after fighting monsters for years and has years of experience, how does that not make hisone? Bad Dreams: Comes with being a Demigod. Battle Couple: He and Lilith become this after fighting the manticore together. Blade on a Stick: He can actually summon his trident. Book Dumb: Not much schooling. Combo Platter Powers: Being the son of Poseidon, the sea god, Xavier has water-based powers as one might expect. What one doesn't expect is the extent and variety of these powers. He can control water, gains a Healing Factor and a power-boost when in contact with water (ocean water gives him the strongest effect), has Super Not-Drowning Skills plus complete immunity to the crushing water pressure on the ocean floor, is able to negate all fall damage if he falls into water that is deep enough, able to know exactly where he is when traveling on an ocean (down to the precise longitude and latitude), and is able to control whether or not he gets wet. Poseidon is also the god of earthquakes, a power which Xavier uses through his trident. And he can talk to horses. Disappeared Dad: Because his father, Poseidon was never around like all gods he never had a father. Half-Human Hybrid: Demigod. Heroic Bastard: Automatically one considering Poseidon and his mortal mother never got married. Human Mom, Non-Human Dad: Mortal mother while his father is the Greek god, Poseidon. Kissing Cousins: With Lilith. However, since their not from the same cabin their relationship is perfectly fine.. L is for Dyslexia: All half-bloods have this, including Xavier. Making a Splash: Being Poseidon's son gives him water-based powers. Momma's Boy: He's very close to his mortal mother. The Navigator: When he's on the ocean, at least. Since Poseidon is god of the sea, and patron of mariners, Xavier has perfect navigation abilities while at sea. Supreme Social Skills: Extrovert extraordinaire. Official Couple: With Lilith Mavrala. Olympic Swimmer: Don't try to deny it. Only Sane Man: Because he can see through mist, being a demigod, he's able to see the truth of what is really there. Pride: Tends to show this at time, being the child of Poseidon it comes naturally here and there. Soft Water/Super Not-Drowning Skills: Not only can Xavier always take a dive into water, from any height, to escape a bad situation (admit it, that's a handy thing to know), being submerged in water (more accurately, touching water in general, but it's strongest when he's submerged) heals and freshens him up, even to the point of detoxing any poison he's suffering from; he doesn't even get wet unless he wants to. He can even use a lighter underwater. Being the son of the sea god has its perks. Underwater Kiss: In the Lake with Lilith. Weapon of Choice: A Celestial bronze trident.
Judal The Ace: Very good at what he does, trained his entire life. Abusive Family: His "brother" killed his father and tried to turn him into a killing machine. Fun, right? Badass Bookworm: Surprisingly is a bookworm despite not looking like one and a Badass. Bad Dreams: Comes with being a Demigod. Beneath The Mask: Underneath the facade, he’s actually pretty broken, insecure, and frightened, however he's made a wall to hide it all. Book Smart: Well read in a variety of magical books. Break the Cutie: Lost his father and grew up without much of a moral compass. Child Soldier: Learning to fight since he was born. If that doesn’t make him one I don’t know what will. Covert Pervert: Heh. . . Disappeared Dad: Inverted. Because his mother, Hecate, was never around like all gods he never had a father. Don't You Dare Pity Me! Friendless Background: Had no friends as a child. Go Mad From Isolation: Being in isolation from the world really screwed him up mentally; he’s unsure how to act, an internal mess, and socially awkward to a point. Half-Human Hybrid: Demigod. Heroic Bastard: Automatically one considering he's the son of Hecate. Human Mom, Non-Human Dad: Mortal father while mother is Greek goddess, Hecate. I Just Want To Be Normal: Has this a lot, seeing as he’s a demigod and has to basically fight for his life. He wants to live a normal mortal life. I Just Want To Have Friends: He wants to have the friends he never had as a child. Kissing Cousins: With Chris. However, since their not from the same cabin their relationship is perfectly fine. Official Couple: With Chris Dominick. Only Sane Man: Because he can see through mist, being a demigod, he's able to see the truth of what is really there. Parental Abandonment: Father died, his mother is never around to begin with. Red Mage: Proficient in many types of magic, although his strongest suit is water and ice magic. (Technically, it'd be Blue Mage.) The Runaway: Ran away from everything he knew after murdering everyone he'd met. Training from Hell: His training before CHB is worse than he likes to speak of or remember. Training the Gift of Magic: Reads a lot of books on magic spells and techniques. Troubled, But Cute: Like the trope says, cute but troubled internally. Weapon of Choice: A magic wand with a ruby-encrusted tip.
Diane Luna The Ace: She's been training for longer than pretty much every demigod alive. Thanks, immortality. Action Girl: Like most female demigods. Action Survivor: May be a bit unfair since she's immortal, but she hasn't just got by on her good looks. Archer Archetype: After she joins the Hunters of Artemis in book three, she grows into this while wielding a bow with arrows as her weapon, becoming calm, calculating, and a little distant. Broken Bird: She seems to be getting better since her parent's death, although she now knows her mother is Selene. Celibate Heroine: After she joins the Hunters, as they swear off men. Hard Light: She can make constructs and manipulate moonlight. Human Mom, Non-Human Dad: Inverted. Her dad was human but she now knows her mother is Selene. Immortality Begins at Twenty: 18 in her case. Older Than They Look: Immortality has its definite advantages. Weapon of Choice: As opposed to the usual bow and arrow of Hunters, Diane favors her crescent blade.
Regina George Berserk Button: Children of Aphrodite don't usually participate in capture the flag. But when it's against the Hunters... "I'll show them 'love is worthless'. I'll pulverize them!" Hard Work Hardly Works: Inverted. She puts time and effort into working with Katropis, and it pays off. Human Mom Non Human Dad: Inverted; her mother is a goddess while her father is a mortal. Love Freak: Comes with being a daughter of the love goddess. Neat Freak: The Aphrodite cabin is always spotless. Nice Girl: Inverted. Class-A beyotch. Obfuscating Stupidity: It's hinted she's a lot smarter than she lets on. Queen Bee: Or so she assumes.
Did one for every one of my characters (got a bit lazier at the last two xP) |

| I looooove TV tropes! Such a great lens through which we can view culture and narrative. I won't go into too much detail but one trope that I think definitely applies (applied?) to Leroy is "Beware of the nice ones." Leroy is through and through a compassionate, kind, gentle person - despite being a son of Ares. His warlike nature can be seen when he's pushed though, and it's a force to be reckoned with! | |
