I will try later, promise. I'm actually starting to think you might be some kind of morality chain for Mister A... if not that then soemthing similar.
I am happy with my tropes :) I have a few (not that I'd resent more!)
Funny. I think Qara called me a Morality Pet or something. I've no clue what that means, even after reading TvTropes.
Some people who act in a rather unlikeable way tend to have someone or something they act considerably nicer towards. That someone or something is a Morality Pet.
For example, say there was an evil warrior-king dude who generally acted like a bloodthirsty jackass, killing or subjugating everyone he came across just for the hell of it, executing subjects on a whim- that sort of thing. If that dude had a daughter he actually loved and doted on, the daughter would be considered a Morality Pet.
(I'm mostly doing this from memory, incidentally- without access to the trope page, I can't give you an exact description, or even a guaranteed accurate one.)
