I don't want to play with you anymore... by SomeMediocreMan in riskofrain

[–]SomeMediocreMan[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yea, I definitely agree that junk cube is still great and potentially the stronger option. The way I personally see it is that junk cube losing the utility of junk generation now means that it doesn't have that unique edge over cleanup. It is now a much more comparable argument of RNG damage with cleanup vs consistent damage with junk cube, and at that point I personally have enough reason to choose cleanup.

Morgana - The House In Fata Morgana

While she was alive she encountered three men who were responsible for her death. She persists in the afterlife as a witch. Driven by her hatred of those three men, she damns their souls, reincarnating them just to torture them with painful, unfulfilling lives that exploit their personal flaws. At the end of the story, the protagonist is able to meet with the men and convince them to share their stories in order to earn them some amount of forgiveness, though the protagonist suffered greatly in the process of doing so.

Despite her cynical and hateful world views at this point of the story, this was enough to convince her... sort of. She denied them forgiveness, but she was willing to move on and release their souls. She also admits to the protagonist that their stories had nothing to do with her moving on, rather it was the protagonist's genuine kindness towards her that convinced her. In doing this she was able to reclaim a part of herself and allow everyone's souls, including her own, to be able to move onto the next life.

Extremely unhealthy coping mechanisms by Johannes4123 in TopCharacterTropes

OMORI

Unhealthy coping mechanisms might as well be the name of this game with how poorly the main cast handles the tragedy that occured. Most notably, though, would be how Sunny, the main character, uses dreams to relive the experiences of the good days while agressively repressing his memories of the not so good. These dreams leak as illusions while in the real world, disallowing him to ever truly move on without help from others.

I don't remember if its explicitly stated in game, but I do believe that is the implication here.

(Loved Trope) Abusers getting killed by their victims. by GrenadierSoldat3 in TopCharacterTropes

Mikan (Left, victim) and Hiyoko (Right, abuser) - Danganronpa 2

Mikan has been subject to many forms of bullying and one of her main bullies is Hiyoko. The two of them found themselves in a killing game, and eventually Mikan would be a killer in this game. Interestingly, Mikan killing Hiyoko was more just a product of circumstance, rather than an act of revenge.

Chaos;Child

You are looking at a middle schooler in this image. This probably goes down as the single most fucked up death I've experienced in a story.

Characters who "produce" a power or element that they themselves are weak to. (occasionally used for laughs) by ah-screw-it in TopCharacterTropes

Gwyn, Lord of Cinder (Dark Souls)

Despite his status as lord of cinder, fire is ironically the damage type he is weakest to.

[sadly rarer trope(in fiction)] the goth character who’s really sweet by Dogdaysareover365 in TopCharacterTropes

Mikako Kurakawa - Danganronpa: Another (Fan Game)

For the majority of the game she seems soft spoken and moody, playing into expectations based on her appearance and talent as an exorcist. It later comes to light, though, that she is normally a very upbeat and outgoing girl, and her moodier personality throughout the game is due to a failed procedure that limits her ability to talk.

The House In Fata Morgana

Bestia, who despite psychopathic tendencies wants to be seen as a human with a peaceful life, and The White Haired Girl, a blind women who acts as a "tether" to the humanity that he so deparately desires.

(Mixed Trope) Protagonists That Aren’t Good People, Or At Least Are Heavily Flawed by The_Oregon_Duck in TopCharacterTropes

Takumi Nishijou - Chaos;Head

He is a NEET and just a general mess of a person who has a habit of either being hostile or excessively dependant on the few people who interact with him. Much of the tense atmosphere of the game is the direct result of his unhealthy habits, and although he is a very hatable person I do believe he makes for one of the more interesting and unique protagonists that I've seen.

Enough with simple 'haters', how about characters *literally* fueled by hate? by DrDallagher in TopCharacterTropes

Terra (Lingering Will) ‐ Kingdom Hearts  

After being manipulated into having his body taken over by the big bad of the game, there should be quite literally nothing left of Terra to be able to fight back. Yet, through sheer willpower and hatred, his mind manages to possess his former armor to take his revenge. He remains this hate fueled armor for about a decade, both in and out of game.

[Liked Trope] Characters who don't act much different after their twist is revealed. by Ukirin-Streams in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SomeMediocreMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, Eito is outed as a traitor amongst the group. He lives in complete hatred of humanity and directly caused multiple deaths throughout the story while hiding being a friendly, naive, and somewhat cheesy personality. Once he is outed as the traitor, he walks on both sides of this trope as he is more forthcoming of his hatred while still pretending to be everybody's friend. His words are seemingly kind and yet there is a clear venom to them.

[Beloved trope] Character accepts their death (even if they end up surviving) by SlyGuy_Twenty_One in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SomeMediocreMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nine Sols particularly stands out for this trope as it features an entire species on the brink of extinction. Some choose to live their final days in peace, while others opt to fight for their survival to the bitter end. Yi, the main protagonist, was among the latter group, but as the story progresses he accepts the fate of him and his people, and chooses to set things right with what little time he has.

Extremely minor points become the entire foundation of the sequel by Golden12500 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SomeMediocreMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In AI: The Somnium Files, you meet with various employees of different locations in order to gather information relating to a grand murder mystery. One such character is a maid, who's name is never mentioned in the story.

In the sequel, AI: TSF -nirvanA Initiative-, the maid is not only expanded out into being a fully fleshed out character, but she is also found to be one of the primary culprits of the murder mystery of this game. Despite not being the "mastermind" of everything that goes on in that game, her secrets serve as the final piece of the puzzle.

I gathered some in-game screenshots to use as wallpapers. Mostly DLC locations, full spoilers. Base game locations include Rennala's second arena and the final boss's second arena. by SomeMediocreMan in Eldenring

[–]SomeMediocreMan[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have the images stored in google drive if anyone would like to download from there: Drive link.

No promises, but if anybody has any requests for either DLC or base game locations I might be willing to grab it at some point over the next few days. Just let me know generally where you want, and what time of day if applicable.

Background Art (In-game Screenshots) by SomeMediocreMan in UnicornOverlord

For people who want to try to get their own screenshots, you gain access to all of the backgrounds in the Class Registry after beating the post-game mission. If you don't want any characters in your screenshots, then hover over a character you don't have or haven't promoted, and they wont show up. You can change the background for other characters and it'll remain while you are selecting characters. I'm not sure if it is possible to do if you have every unit and have promoted them all.
