TvTropes

[dieewigenacht]

I love the page, but let's face it, who doesn't?

That's why, using only livejournal and tvtropes, I'll make a list of all the tropes my character can fall into.
Just because the hell of it.

You may want to know more about her

Now, the tropes. (I'll ad them as I find them...so this may change from time to time)

 

-Girls with Guns: And how, she may use swords and stuff from time to time, but her true love is with her guns.
-Girls with Psycho Weapons:  Now, Himilce may love her guns, but she appreciates the possibility of other weapons, sometimes improvised stuff (such as debris or office implements) or sometimes her, always usefull, flamethrower.
-Trigger Happy:  Well, I never claimed she was a stable and educated character, in fact sometimes she can't get work because she is too trigger happy, she will shoot and then ask, or more likely she will shot, and period.
-Badass Normal: Doesn't have any kind of power, and she is actually pretty weak compared to other badass normals, but damn me if that will stop her, she will go against anything and anyone, and God helps you if she is against you.
-Trying to catch me fighting dirty: Oh come on! She is a normal non-powered , nineteen years old, petit girl, did you really expected her to fight with honor?
-Improvised Weapon: What options does a girl face when she is all out of ammo? Using the gun as a club of course! Or picking something from the battle camp and fight! (She doesn't care what it is, if the only thing aviable is a pencil, she'll do it)
-Weak but Skilled : Despite everything, she isn't a physical formidable oponent, quite the contrary. She is just an average girl with a talent for killing, an amazing one...but yet.
-Combat Pragmatism: She is alive after all her battles just because of this, she is willing to go all the way to win, nothing is to gross, evil or plain cruel, if it leads her to victory, she is in.
-Psycho for Hire:   Yes, she is one...Sometimes her employers like that, sometimes they don't.
-Ax Crazy: She is usually very composed in battle, she doesn't lose control easily, however when she does...Ax Crazy happens.
-Affably Evil: Himilce isn't evil, at least not for a given definition. Yes, she kills people in the most horrible ways you can imagine, but she does it for the money, and when she bealives the target does deserves it. She isn't one to go in a killing spree just because, she enjoys company and friendship, but she will be willing to betray that to achieve her goals. To her, killing isn't bad, it's just what she is good at.
-Egomaniac Hunter: She works as a mercenary, and she loves it. However she won't take a job she considers too easy, she likes the challenge and the thrill, and she will often go agains oponents way stronger than her, just because she really enjoys what she does, and she wants to be the best. 
-Deadpan Skarner: It's something I try to reflect in my characters, or at least in the female ones, mainly because that's the way I am, it's easy for me to show it.
-Blood Knight: Again, she isn't evil, she just...enjoys killing a little bit too much.
-Never Hurt an Inocent: This is a particularly complex point when talking about Himilce, she is a mercenary, and she enjoys blood baths. However she does try to avoid hurting people who isn't that related to her job, mainly because she doesn't see the challenge, but also because she knows that it's bad, at least for her rules. She however won't hessitate of hurting (Not killing though) someone who is in her way. This happens JUST when she isn't mad, when she is angry then god help us.
-Hitman with a heart: She recieves a lot of job offers, therefore she knows about a lot of people that will be killed, sometimes she takes the job, if she bealives it's good enough and if she has a good enough reason, and sometimes she won't. She likes to know her targets, so she will probably get to talk with them to some point, usually she kills them, but when she is convinced that the target isn't bad, then she will leave him or her alive. When she doesn't take a job, she will search for the target and warn them, often offering services as a bodyguard.
-Gratuitous Spanish: As it is well known, you may be as good as you want in a second language, but when you face a situation of intense passion, fear, stress or stuff, it's easy to forget that second language and get back to the first one. Himilce's native language is Spanish, and she will use it often enough, when mocking someone, when singing and when she is absolutely pissed.
-Dark and troubled past: While kid, spend almost 5 years in the hands of "Very Bad People" actually they where part of a criminal gang that killed her parents and kept her as a prize.
-Rape as Drama: That was just one of the things that happened to her during her time with the "Very Bad People"-Harmfull to Minors: 5 years as a prisoner of the mentioned gang, used as sexual slave and tortured just for kicks.
-Parental Abandonment: Both her parents where murdered by the "Very Bad People"
-Broken Bird: A good part of her violent behaivour is part of this. Her pass ruined her.
