Taxon Tropes
Yes this is very ill-advised but TV Tropes is my jam and I like giggling at things.
To get us started, below the cut are canons with their own pages:
The Boondock Saints
The DC Universe you guys narrow this down ain't nobody got time for that.
Harry Potter
Johannes Cabal the Necromancer
Marvel - X-Men
Once Upon A Time
Yes Mary Renault has a page nothing is safe.
Sherlock
R.A. MacAvoy has a page too lawl
Tin Man which I need to go in and edit because goddamn there are some terrible mispellings.
Go forth and amuse yourselves.
1. Go to TV Tropes
2. REMEMBER TO COME BACK.
3. Share tropes relevant to your character, your canon, the game (ESPECIALLY the game), etc.
4. Hilarity and time-sinking ensues.

And I think I'm a clone now.
Have you seen the Goblyn Queen outfit?
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvilCostumeSwitch - Oh yeah.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PsychicPowers - Yes.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SignificantGreenEyedRedhead - HA!
Oh, hey look, a page - http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ComicBook/Inferno
Man, I could probably go on for awhile.

She could be considered the trope namer for Classy Cat Burglar but /is/ the trope namer for Dating Catwoman.
This is going to be done in stages, sob
Badass Longcoat - The evergreen wool one with silver buttons in winter, though he does basically have a coat for each season. Fucking peacock.
Awesome Anachronistic Apparel - not as evident as in the old days but his clothes are still very un-early 21st century. Actually his wardrobe reflects a little but of everything from the 1790s to the 1930, plus clockpunk. Arguably makes him The Fashionista.
The Coats Are Off - He does ditch his beloved outerwear when shit goes down.
Going Commando Just about all the damn time; stems from an old fandom joke that there are no underpants in the O.Z. This is entirely Cain's fault.
Iconic Item - His coat from canon. Yes, he does still have what's left of it. Sort of falls in with Still Wearing The Old Colors
Suspenders Are Sexy, probably.
Unlimited Wardobe - Has probably spent more credits on clothes than just about anything else.
Waistcoat of Style
MORE GENERALIZED GLITCH TROPES
Broken Hero
Crouching Moron Hidden Badass - though less so in-game; getting his brain back I think upgrades him to Minored in Asskicking
Mr. Fixit, along with Gadgeteer Genius, Goggles Do Nothing, Goggles Do Something Unusual, and he sometimes plays with Magitek
Chaotic Good, Type II. I think.
Laser Guided Amnesia - as with canon, what eh remembers or forgets depends largely on moving the plot along. and rule of funny.
Noodle Incident - Much early Taxon history, just because he's the only one who was around for it. Like the life support system failure and Old Taxon, the Doctor blowing shit up, that time he was made to be the Emcee, and shagging Chiana.
May-December Romance/Lover and Beloved - with Bagoas. He also had the May-December thing with DG and has lampshaded it because why even.
Like An Old Married Couple/Heterosexual Life Partners - With Cain.
Cloudcuckoolander - Forever and always.
Authority in Name Only - His ongoing attempts to fill a leadership role in Taxon.
...and on and on and on

Glitch is The Hero and shares Smart Guy duties with Paul the Lancer, which of course makes Cain the Big Guy and Bagoas The Chick (...as it were). And I guess Mayland in dragon form is the Team Pet.
I ma going to hell.

"I need to share something with everybody: bagoas in that film is ugly ugly ugly...I read in a book that bagoas was blond,short hair,15 or 16 years old and beautiful face. In that film bagoas has ugly face,long hair like a woman and he looks of 25 or 28 years old!! I mean: what a horrible!!!!! its the truth!!! ssssooorrrryyyy..."
... ... ...yeah.
ANYHOO
Happiness in Slavery ...it isn't entiiiiiiirely accurate, since Bagoas never forgets his heritage, and would choose a different life if he had a bloomin' chance. He's resigned rather than happy, but his mantra is just twigs all my Happiness in Slavery notions. His mantra or personal motto is to always be grateful for what you have (which of course implies that it could always be worse, and boy does he know it). He's happy by necessity. Until Alexander, which brings me neatly tooooo
Stockholm Syndrome. THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG, AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A TV TROPES PAGE FOR THIS OMFG. Even the pic sums up all my feels about sooooo many romance novels/movies/D*sney "classics".
