RP Tropes
If you don't know, TV Tropes is a website which lists many tropes and cliches used in media. I was just thinking, what personality tropes would you say you and your character use?
Mine would fall into a couple of different categories. One of which would be the Sugar and Ice Personality. It's basically where a character has 2 sides to him: A cool, calm, distant side, and the other is much warmer and kinder. His "normal personality" seems to be the former, but the more emotional part comes out much more frequently to give it a bit of nuance. The second, which is probably a bit more obvious, is the Meta Guy. Rom makes jokes and quips about the stories he's taking a part of, such as conveniently going where the plot is, referencing the phansite itself in some RPs, etc., that it almost borders into No Fourth Wall territory. (Hint hint).
So, what would some of yours be?
Jerk with a heart of gold and insufferable Genius. Both are obvious if you've ever seen this character in an RP. Sam is a sarcastic jackass, especially when it comes to gloating about his genius and correcting people, but he means well. He's also the smart guy of his team. For combat tropes, Combat pragmatist.

With Malloryn, I'd say she's the stoic and fancy type, while also being the sociopathic type, as she acts callous and vanglorious in battle while being noble and honorable elsewhere. Though sometimes when she's stressed she has a cigarette and is more impatient and cold. When she's being...that side of her, she gets very manipulative and devoted, while also showing signs of bipolar as well. Mostly due to love and all that shit.
With Keilin, she's basically the token girl next door mixed in with that of a dirty porn addict. Usually, when it's serious, she's what you'd expect. Acts like any normal girl would. When it's anything but, she always has a dirty mind and takes things the wrong way. Though ironically, in combat, she starts to become a bit of a lunatic, but only because of her weapons. Besides, she gets stronger the more crazier she is, so it's not that bad I guess.
With Angel (Practically dead character btw.), he's mostly that of a humble bishop. He's nice, caring, and is a bit social despite not being with anyone or anything over his past where he had almost nothing to do except his job. Though, when he gets angry, he starts to become more sardonic, showing a black heart while also black humour as well. Mostly shown in an attempt to taunt by spitting insulting and discomforting remarks to almost anyone.
And that's about it. Still planning another character though, so yay.

IRL, I'm Small Name, Big Ego and Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
Kamui, my character, would be (Downplayed) Knight Templar who is also An Ice Person.
Also, I forgot to mention another one: Stepford Snarker. Basically, someone who makes jokes/snide remarks to cover up their sadness or insecurities, hence all of the bad puns.
I feel you, Rom. I feel you.
