(no subject)
So I started doing that TVTROPES Meme....
POKEY
Fat Bastard
Do I really need to explain? He's listed right at the top of the video game examples!
Mouthy Kid
In fact, he's down right mouthy. It should be noted that Pokey is my only character who swears.
Psychopathic Manchild
Again, he's listed on the page.
Despite traveling time, aging impossibly, and seeing things no normal man will ever witness, Pokey is a kid at heart.
A bitter, angry kid who wants to see everyone who's done him wrong suffer in terrible ways.
Body Horror
While not an extreme case, Pokey undergoes example of body horror twice.
When the chosen four meet up with Pokey right before the end of the game, his body is slightly malformed - His skin is blueish in hue, his teeth yellow and crooked, and his hair is a matted gray-green colour resembling sludge.
It happens again in Mother 3 (and the start of SBG canon) when all that timetraveling reduces him to an old shriveled husk of a man that, if his 'throne' room is any indication of, can't piss straight any more.
So You Want To Live Forever/Who Wants To Live Forever
Pokey is somewhere in the middle here.
On one hand, he doesn't seem to regret the immortality time traveling has cursed him with, rubbing it in peoples faces a whenever the opportunity arises.
In facts, he warps his plans for world conquest around this newfound immortality, no longer wanting to show up Ness and prove that his not just some runny nosed brat but to eradicate anything and everything leaving himself the only survivor.
Only he's slowly finding out that being old as dirt and immortal isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Which leads us to...
Lonely At The Top
Piror to SBG, Pokey has begun forming his army, taken over most of that podunk island, watched more porn then Otacon, and formed a multimillion dollar empire.
Only he's not happy with any of it. He wants more, but he can never put his finger on what. He's gotten close a few times, but that happiness always seems out of arm's reach.
What Do You Mean, It's Not Awesome?
Not so much Pokey himself (although it does fit his more extreme habits), but his pride and joy, New Pork City.
It looks amazing, flashing lights, colour signs, expensive items, the works!
Then you realize that it's made out of cardboard cutouts, old TVs and used amusement park equipment.
Cry for The Devil
He's not all bad though. When it comes to Petunia, Ness and Lash, he can be a kind, rational, normal member of society even if only a sad parody of one.
ANA
Alien Invasion
Not only is it her reason for joining up with the main hero/love interest (Her mother was kidnapped by aliens), but the reason she has PSI in the first place is because George and Maria were abducted and George escaped with knowlage of PSI and shared it with others.
PSYCHIC POWAHS!
Ana reads minds, can see the future in her dreams and shoots lasers with her brain.
See also: My Significance Sense Is Tingling and Living Lie Detector although she rarely takes advantage of these two perks.
Hometown Hero
Known locally as 'The Wondergirl From Snowman' Ana is famous in their little nameless section of America for above psychic powers.
Also for not showing up to class the past week or so.
Faux Action Girl
Dispite the game telling us Ana is SUPER AWESOME, she kinda sucks.
Staff Chick
In fact, she's the typical magic user with sucky defence.
Improbable Weapon User
Admittedly, it's not a staff, it's a frying pan.
Or a sling shot.
Or a boomerang.
You Look Familiar
Oh hello Paula, my you look adorable today! I love your hair ribbon, did you get it from a kitty who swims on land as well?
HO-OH
Walking the Earth How Ho-oh spent most of his lives, and the time between his and Lugia's break up and his arrival at SBG.
He spends a lot of time going from place to place, experiencing life wherever he pleases.
You Can't Go Home Again
Ho-oh won't return to Ekruteak any time soon. It's not that he doesn't want to (well, actually, he doesn't) but he can't. It's an emotional barrier that I'll probably never explain~
Book Dumb
Not only now, but he's always been so.
In fact, if it wasn't for Lugia, he probably wouldn't have graduated from Smash Academy in the first place.
The Stoner/The Slacker/Odd Couple
Ho-oh smokes a lot of pot, is never really assed to do much of anything but slop pain on a canvas. He's a little lazy, rarely putting a lot of effort into things outside his routine, and is generally just the opposite of Lugia in any way possible.
Last of His Kind
GENERAL
Picky Eater
All of my characters have something they won't eat.
For Ana, it's seafood.
For Ho-oh, it's sweets.
Pokey? Most vegetables, fruits and pork products.
Berserk Button
Everyone has one, but Ana's is the most obvious. Shit gets real when people refer to her as a little girl.
(Pokey's comes into play whenever someone makes him feel insecure. Ho-oh when he's pushed out of his comfort zone of foggy bliss.)
Then I realized all my characters were horrible, horrible stereotypes and that it would take me a year to read all the tropes related to them and I gave up.
