Character Trope Suggestions

So, I was finally about to get off my ass and start updating the character page of the ARG, but I'm having issues remembering things because so much has happened recently. Therefore, I wanted to create a new thread to see if it catches on.
Basically, how this works is that anyone who wants can post a couple of tropes that they think might be a good addition to their character tropes page. I'm asking you guys because the human brain remembers things that directly happen to it better than things that don't, and while I can remember most of the stuff that happened, a lot of it has been stored for a while now, so I need you guys to jog my memory.
Recommending a trope for yourself will not necessarily get it for you. Just post the trope and say something about the event that made you think it would be a good idea, and if someone agrees, they edit it in. Only recommend a couple of tropes at a time though. Keep it reasonable.

Um... Well I have on at least one occasion claimed that
I Need A Freaking Drink. A few occasions actually, when the Witch decided I was the campaign manager, I kind of wished the green stuff was real, so I could down it ALL AT ONCE aaand the first place I went was the Coffee room.
Also, Cuteness Proximity. Because Finch keeps turning into
adorable things, damn it.

Agreed on both. ^_^ I remember the freak out you had when you got picked. I'll get em up shortly. Gotta get myself some bloody breakfast. I'm starving...

I like the initiave. To be honest... But for me I'll only point to
Sequence Breaking, as arguably, I did it. I say arguably because I have a mention in the timeline and in the main page for finding Gulliver, Romeo and Juliet's blogs without GM prompt or riddles or anything like that, but whether this was intended as by the GMs or was a real sequence break is not something we can be sure about. And also, Dryu scanned for domain names too.

I'd like some tropes/a description. Not entirely sure what to put though.

So do I. The last time I freaked out that much IRL, it invovled university results.
I don't suppose The Insomniac is on your own tropes list, is it Sicon? Only I don't recall the last time you said you needed sleep...

Agreed.
Has your icon ever led to you being Mistaken for Girl? I'm SURE that happened at least once...

Actually, Sicon says that he never sleeps and has bloodied caffeine on his blood vessels. I don't really remember him saying he needed to. The Unsleeper?

Insomniac isn't there directly. By the way, go check out your new and improved page. I made some additions of my own.
Guys, I've decided that it's probably OK for people to edit/ad a description for themselves. The people themselves are probably the best qualified for that.

I agree with these as well.
I also think WildWestPyro could get like a TagAlongKid trope or something similar, since as far as I know he's the youngest metaguard we have.

You have made me lol. A lot. Fear my caffeine system!
Actualy, The Insomniac is only on my actual tropes page, but not the character page. Go for it if you want to add it.

Thanks then!

I'll stop my constant edits for a sec then. Do you like your new section?

Well,t his thread is to help people think of some for you. You suggest things you think might fit, and other people decide whether or not to add them.

Well, about this, I'll add a description to myself later then. No rush, so I'll wait until the trope adding edits slow down.
Also yay! Thanks for the tropes!

Ed needs more tropes. I don't know what they would be, but he needs them.

Agreed. I'll think on it.
Also, if someone else like Scarab wants to make changes, now is your chance, since I got some work to get to. See ya in a bit, guys.

Bad. Ass.
Pixel, haven't you been Mistaken for a Girl on occasion due to your icon? Has that been added for you?
Also Mimsy needs SOMETHING relating to the God Mode trope for coffee room exploits...

My brother doesn't exactly have a section for him. If you guys feel like it though, go ahead.

Yep. It wasn't added by anyone yet... And with Kariese and Sicon calling me Pixie... Oh well, I can't fight that nickname.
Also, Mimsy will need something about being refered to as "Sicon's Brother" all the time. I think.

I'm sure I can figure out SOME specific trope for that...
Come to think of it, I've been mistaken for a guy on occasion too.

I have become a Ridiculously Cute Critter once or twice in the Coffee Room, tried to get the Nickname of The "Kabal" to stick, Has made several lists in the RPG already, and I've had a Motor Mouth of Ideas about Child Marriage in Shakespeare's Time and how Money worked for Quixote. That's all I can think of right now.

Actually, Motor Mouth works pretty well for Finch. I'm remembering when he was tossing out ideas for that one riddle and came up with like twenty on the forums in about half a minute.
