With Computer/Atticus's help, the two of them set off to find a mountain that just might hold the means of curing his seemingly incurable illness. Despite his immense fear of dying, he remains the more optimistic of the two, something that tends to draw the ire of Atticus on a constant basis. Though friendly and forever loyal to those he considers his friends, he's not without his faults. It's a terrible mistake that he makes which causes Computer to have to confront some of his own worst demons.

* DecoyProtagonist: Subverted. At first, it seems like Courage will be the main character, but as the story unravels Atticus gets way more focus, until the story balances out and he the main character alongside Courage.



* AdaptionalSexuality: In canon, he shows absolutely no attraction towards anyone. Here... he's actually repulsed by '''sexuality''' too, but he unambiguously falls in love with Courage through the course of the story. So really, more of an Adaptional '''Romantic Orientation''' (but that isn't an official trope at the moment).

* AmbiguouslyBi: Like the example above, he has moments of being interested in women, but the only person he actually expresses any romantic feelings for is Atticus.



* {{Deuteragonist}}: While the story is about curing his illness, Computer starts to become the central character after awhile when his own CharacterDevelopment starts to take focus and that leaves Courage in more of a support role. Eventually, the best way to describe it is that Courage ''and'' Computer are the protagonists.

!!Computer/Atticus

Sharing the role main character, Courage's ever witty and snide Computer takes control of the body of another dog to help get Courage to the mountain that may cure him of his illness. Having suffered many slights both big and small throughout his life, it's largely the cause of his MeanBrit nature.

Both a bad call on his part and Courage making a terrible mistake of his own at very bad time causes him to have to come to terms with his past and everything that had happened to him. He begins working towards being a nicer person after a close friendship develops between him and Courage, but his often cynical nature and snarky attitude still tends to shine through at times.

* AscendedExtra: In the original cartoon, The Computer was just a snarky AI comic relief who rarely made appearances in a cartoon with virtually no character development. Here, he has a sprawling backstory, deep seated issues, and is undeniably the main character alongside Courage.

[[MoralityPet Courage is often the one keeping his feet on the ground.]]



* {{Hypocrite}}: For all the trouble he gives Courage over being 'stupid', he himself is prone to doing some incredibly stupid things. A large part of the story is about showing that he isn't as infallible as he likes to think and how his headstrong 'I can do no wrong' nature tends to do more harm than good. He likes to rush into things without thinking first and it often comes back to bite him many times during the story.
