Yeah pretty much Lana didn't understand Marco's attraction to a "Nerdy Plain Jane bookworm" There is more but I don't want to go into detail here.
So, last month someone suggested making a TV Tropes character page for the PPC. This brought up the bad history between TV Tropes and the PPC, so I suggested we just make it a game! Post your agents, and the tropes you think apply to them and their stories. I'll start.
Sebak
The Spock, The Stoic,Fascinating Eyebrow - Comes with being Vulcan.
Deadpan Snarker - Especially towards Tish and the illogical nature of the PPC.
Only Sane Man - In the PPC, almost literally.
Humanity is Infectious/Cultural Rebel - Played with. He wants to learn about humans to be able to do his job better, and he enjoys human media like Lord of the Rings and Sherlock Holmes, but he still retains his Vulcan stoicism and tends to like the parts of human culture that fit with Vulcan culture.
Snark-to-Snark Combat - Between him and Tish.
Running Gag - The fact that his Lust Object is Galadriel, and the connection between Vulcans and elves.(Similar, but not the same.)
Tish
The McCoy - To Sebak's Spock, as expected given the PPC procedure of pairing opposites.
Red Oni, Blue Oni - The red to Sebak's blue.
Drama Queen - Somewhat. It's more a case of vocalizing what others wouldn't.
Manic Pixie Dream Girl - Trying to be this for Sebak. He's not responding well.
Genki Girl - To some extent.
Hates Being Alone - Or, rather, dislikes feeling friendless, due to usually being sociable.
So, have fun!
I've been thinking of these two for a while. Hopefully I won't make 'em Sues...
Sif
Big Sister Mentor - She is this to Anya, being both older and more experienced.
Yamato Nadeshiko/Lady of War - She acts very lady-like, calm and polite. She prefers to avoid unnecessary combat. That being said, she is a brilliant manipulator and proficient in combat.
An Offer You Can't Refuse - She was originally a bit-character made as a romantic rival for a Sue. She joined the PPC because she didn't want to die.
Aloof Dark-Haired Girl - She can be extremely reserved and annoyingly polite. She happens to have black hair.
Anya
Heroic Wannabe - Really wants be able to defeat all Mary Sues and save canons. More often than not, she needs to be saved by Sif.
Tomboy - Very much so. She is occasionally mistaken for a boy.
Genki Girl - Tones it down a bit on missions. Constantly annoys Sif.
No Social Skills - Incapable of communicating with anyone without seriously annoying or insulting them.
I kinda like Sif actually. She sounds like she would fit well with Marco in a "Will they or Won't they" sexual tension bit.
Marco West
He who Fights Monsters~As a reformed Borderline Stu Marco runs the risk of becoming this every time his "Sue powers" are unlocked
Heartbroken Badass,Celibate Hero~In the fic he was recruirted from Marco was in a relationship with Hermione Granger upon recruirment he vowed to uphold canon in all fiction even if it meant he'd lose her forever. This leads to her being his Lust Object and to him refusing any sort of romanatic relationship
Power Limiter~A scorpion tattoo on his left hand (represents his self destructive nature as a borderline Stu). Controls his "Sue Power" and limits him to three minutes at the various stages at which he must defeat the sue/stu or revernt to normal.
Love Hurts~Formerly in a Relationship with Lana Potter (The sue of his fic) before she was killed by the PPC agents who were about to kill him. Her Wraith appers often possessing Sue siblings/cousins of Harry's or in Imposter Sues of Hermione or other attractive canon females, trying to kill or convert him.
Agent Jameson
Judge,Jury & Executioner, All Crimes are Equal~From the Warhammer40k Universe Agent Jameson is a member of the Adeptus Arbites a police force simmilar to the Judges of the Judge Dreadd univrese.
Sociopathic Hero~ Arbites are trained in canon to not show emotion as this might impair thier ablity to be impartial
Not so above it all~ Agent Jameson runs a "Tabletop RPG" group for agents who are from Tabletop and Pen and Paper game universes and Agents who are fans of them. Being from a Tabletop Game himself he feels this is a way to fit in with the other agents and socialize
No Name Given~Calls himself as do others his Arbite rank "The Marshal" since he joined the PPC he learned that other people share his name in alternate fan communities some in goodfics and roleplays and refuses to give his real name because of the legit paranoia he might run into himself or someone who knows that universe's version of himself.
Thats all I have for now. I'll most likely think of more as the two agents develop (please offer constructive crit)
WarHammer 40k origins, huh? So is he from fan-fiction or a canon? I'm not really familiar with that fandom. He sounds cool, though.
Yeah Marco and Sif do sound like they'd have something going on... Question, though. Was he in a relationship with Hermione or Lana? Both are listed.
The Marshal was from a Goodfic RP group I was a part of on second life. Hence his paranoia about meeting himself in other fictions. And the relationship issue was a love triangle issue he dated them both at one ponit, and was dating Lana when the PPC killed her.
Oh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up! That actually does sound like an interesting premise -could be used as a joke or seriously depending on the context.
Ah, I see. So Hermione was like the Sue's romantic rival.
Yeah pretty much Lana didn't understand Marco's attraction to a "Nerdy Plain Jane bookworm" There is more but I don't want to go into detail here.
Ah, typical Sues... Fair enough.
We can talk more if you know how to acess the IRC chat.
You mean the link at the top? I can do that/
If we don't have premission can we still play?
