Whisper Hill Tropes

Postby Eden Jones » Tue Apr 19, 2016 6:08 pm

Like many of you here, I've spent more time than I care to admit wandering the virtual halls of TV Tropes. Due to this addiction, I find myself occasionally thinking of what tropes apply to Occam's Razor, both for myself and for the rest of you crazy people. I've listed some off the top of my head, feel free to add your own, both for yourself and for other players and NPCs:

Some for Eden:


- I, uh, may be guilty of this from time to time

And others:
Larissa. She knows why :)

Sally and Eden seem to have perfected this dynamic

Henry Gondorf. And, you know, Eden. And Michael Everett. And especially John Henry.

Well, angels, really

Oh, Adam Campbell, you scamp!

3 guesses who

Sheriff Winters

Whisper Hill, of course

I always include the top few TV tropes for all my characters as part of my backstory (in addition to themes/inspirations/Soundtrack, and who would play them in a movie adaptation). I've found them a helpful tool to helping convey the flavor/idea you are trying to convey.

As far as Herne goes:

May not be a hero, but always right there next to those that are to finish the job:


Fiend may not be the correct word, but the concept stands:


Because it was in there for some reason and it's what everyone already says anyways:

As a fellow Tropifier, there are some distinct Tropes that Billy falls into.

- Billy qualifies for this. Pointing this out would probably get you shot, but it is an unfortunate circumstance of being a) First Nations metis and b) in the urban fantasy genre.

- Have you met Billy's ex-girlfriend, Clara? Or maybe the ex-wife, Erika? Or maybe Wynona? Yes, each of these are different firearms of Billy's. And he has more, bordering on the level.

of the second variety - This is Billy's actual superpower, though when that fails, he simply relies on being . Thank you, Father .

And let us not forget that Billy is an with . A little bit of the lead to the , and begs the question... ?

Just please remember, .

I feel like the most fitting TVTrope for Larissa (and a select few others in town) is:
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TokenHuman

"Sometimes, the cast will have to make allowances for their Token Human friend's human failings; at other times, some human ability (such as the ability to reach the top shelf, or to immerse oneself in water safely, or simply an immunity to a deadly alien poison) will come in very handy at some point in the plot."
Larissa Emerson

Played by Alison G. (Shalott at Cottington, Sade at Aralis 2, Orchid at Madrigal 2)
