So I started working on a Characters page on TV Tropes. It's not up yet, I just wanted to see what you think of it.

Spoiler:  There are actual spoilers here. Be warned. (click to show/hide)

[[folder: Races]]


!!Dwarves

* TheAlcoholic: They actually ''need it to live.''
* BunnyEarsLawyer: They're all psychotic, yes. However, they are capable of amazing feats (see {{Towersoared}}) and strong enough dwarves can fight an EldritchAbomination to a standstill.
* TheDitz: Urist McMiner cancels dig through [[TooDumbToLive supporting structure]]; killed by cave-in.
* FluffyTamer: Dwarves can tame any animal. The definition of "animal" extends to dragons, hydras, rocs and giant cave spiders. Imagine THAT as your cavalry.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Played straight in some regards and not in others. Yes, they're all short bearded alcoholics. However, they're also far more insane and stupid than most dwarves.
* TunnelKing: The most common type of fortress is the ElaborateUndergroundBase.

!!Elves

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Perfectly happy to [[ImAHumanitarian eat their enemies.]] Perfectly [[BerserkButton UNhappy]] if you sell them wood.
* ImAHumanitarian
* OurElvesAreBetter

!!Goblins

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Played with. They are rather cruel to their enemies. They also kidnap children. The kicker is that the goblins then ''raise them as their own without prejudice.''
* TheKindnapper: One interpretation of snatchers.
* RaisedByOrcs: Snatched children.

[[folder: Notable individuals]]

!!Cacame Awemedinade

* BadAss
** AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Once took down a dragon in two blows.
** BadassLonghair
* DropTheHammer: On a dragon's head. Two-hit kill.
* ElvesVsDwarves: Sorta-kinda. He's an elf, but he's allied with dwarves. However, he still fights elves.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Other elves ate his wife. He swore off cannibalism after that and [[HeelFaceTurn joined the dwarves.]]
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
* ScrewYouElves: An elf saying this.

!![[{{Towersoared}} Derm the Soulchopper]]

* AnAxeToGrind
* [[OneManArmy One Dwarf Army]]: Killed 20 [[EldritchAbomination Forgotten Beasts]] solo, and alternate-reality testing proved that he could single-handedly wipe Towersoared off the map.
* TrainingFromHell: The fact that he does almost nothing BUT train. He has no real social connections to Towersoared as a result.

!!Âsax

* BadassAdorable: Killed a forgotten beast and fought off two others for months on end, suffering no more than a broken toe.... at the age of 11.
* BadassNormal: He had no magic, no divine purpose, no heroic lineage. He was just a birdman with a spear and a shield.
* BladeOnAStick / LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The only things he used against those Forgotten Beasts.
* NamedWeapons: Apparently Âsax had a short memory. His spear got a new name basically every time it hit something.
* PettingZooPeople: A cave swallow man.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Megabeasts]]

!!Bronze Colossus

* HumongousMecha / {{Magitek}}: One interpretation.
* ImplacableMan
* NighInvulnerable: They are VERY difficult to kill.

!!Hydra

* MultipleHeadCase

!!Roc

* BigBadassBirdOfPrey
* GiantFlyer: It's described as ''bigger than a dragon.''

!!Forgotten Beasts / Titans

* EldritchAbomination: Ever single one. They're randomly generated monsters made from animals, materials, some extra body parts or all three in tandem. Also, [[MindScrew six-legged quadrupeds.]]
* InstantDeathRadius: A lot of them have deadly dust or gas. Oftentimes your dwarves will start [[BodyHorror rapidly rotting]] after fighting one of these monsters.
* MixAndMatchCritters

!![[spoiler: Demons]]

*[[spoiler: EldritchAbomination: Much like Forgotten Beasts, they're randomly generated.]]
*[[spoiler: InstantDeathRadius: Same reason as the Forgotten Beasts.]]
*[[spoiler: TheLegionsOfHell]]
*[[spoiler: OurDemonsAreDifferent]]

Yeah, it's in TvT formatting.

[Neonivek]

Dwarves don't need it to live. They just slow down.

Or rather it seems that Alcohol is lubricant for Dwarven joints.

[Darvi]

They totally need it to live. Otherwise, they commit suicide or something.

[Neonivek]

No they can last indefinately without alcohol. As well they don't consider alcohol to be condusive to healing either.

[Darvi]

You clearly never have seen a dwarf go insane from alcohol-withdrawal.

[Neonivek]

Dwarves can go insane simply because their eyes hurt.

[pisskop]

Spoiler: This is what alcohol deprivation does to dorf (click to show/hide)

Also, what is exactly tv tropes?  Ive tried to comprehend it on my own, and a friend even tried to explain it, but what is tv tropes?  is it a stereotype that 'nerds' have about things?  Thats my understanding at this point...

[Neonivek]

TVtropes is a collection of elements that make up movies, games, books, plots, ect which they list examples of.

That is pretty much it.

[Cassandra]

Dwarves that go entirely without alcohol die of 'blood'loss, you know. Losing 85% of what runs through one's veins is fatal. Neonivek has obviously not had a deprived dwarf reach the state where the booze in the blood was completely used up.

I think people who make jokes on TVtropes when they arn't true should probably stop writing for TVtropes.

[Voyd211]

Derailing wheeeeee


What's the opinion on the list overall?

[darkrider2]

You forgot to put Deebus the kobold in there... I mean his story is still going but damn that kobold is BA.

[Voyd211]

I don't know who that is. I've only seen Towersoared, Cacame, Asax and Boatmurdered, so I don't know every famous character.

Besides, TV Tropes is a wiki. It could be added in later.

[GoombaGeek]

Needs more sex tropes.

* ORingOrifices: Played with. Apertures in the game have no easily defined shape.
** FetishFuel: Just the way This Troper likes it *drools*
* FetishFuel: Creatures in the game reproduce by spores.
* HighOctaneFetishFuel: Hapened for This Troper when he got a Forgotetn Beast taking the form of giant blob of vomit
* HoYay: Happened between Sankis and magma, IMO
* EroticEating: The dining room mechanic allows this.

[Graknorke]

Needs more rape tropes.

I thought that you weren't allowed anything with the word "rape" in it, for some reason I forgot?
