History Roleplay / HonorableHogwarts

Because this site's storyline is [[{{Gorn}} much]], ''[[NightmareFuel much]]'' DarkerAndEdgier than the actual ''Harry Potter'' books... some say it's BetterThanCanon, and others say they need BrainBleach after viewing it.

%% * FiveManBand
%% ** Jason: TheHero.
%% ** Colin: TheLancer.
%% ** Madeline: TheChick.
%% ** Diop: TheSmartGuy (mixed up a bit with TheBigGuy).
%% ** Kieran: PluckyComicRelief.

%% * StrawmanPolitical: The Brotherhood of the Light allow for a negative depiction of Christianity, and Harry's [[WideEyedIdealist idealism]] is occasionally played for strawman liberal purposes (although Jason views him more as a cross between TheChick and TheLoad than in any specific political terms).

%% * Action Girl: Lena Lacy.

%% * Canon:
%% * Luna Lovegood
%% * Minerva [=McGonagall=]
%% * Triwizard Tournament.
%% * Non-canon:
%% * Bella Banning
%% * Edeline Emerson
%% * Lena Lacy
%% * Miscellaneous: The main site's title.

%%%% * AmbiguouslyGay: Avilon Rayne.

%% * So, Anya's baby being born so "early" [[ItMakesSenseInContext makes sense in context]].
%%%% * AntiHero: Jason.
%%%% * AntiVillain: Aldous Conor.
%%%% * Anyone Can Die: Whoo boy.

* %% * "Someone's at the door." Almost a CatchPhrase for River. Although it is a bit of a ShoutOut to ''Series/AmericanGothic1995'', the meaning of the words is entirely different here.
* %% * Also spoken by River: "I am Kali the Goddess of Death." If you hear her say this, ''run''.

%% * Asshole Victim: The only thing that's kept Jason from crossing the MoralEventHorizon is that the people he's maiming, torturing and killing usually deserve it. Also, Ando Saeki's first kill was [[spoiler: Rita Skeeter]], who definitely had it coming. Doesn't make Ando any better, but killing her was arguably a PetTheDog moment.
%%%% * TheAtoner: Turin Holdsclaw. Yes, ''[[Literature/TheSilmarillion Turin]]''.

%% * Envy as well.

%% * Luna Lovegood, Abel King, Trowa Marshall, Alvin Pairis, Sally Carinaris... the bad guys have Natalia Dragomir.
%% * Once Xanthe Chapel no longer qualifies for [[LittleMissBadass Lolita]] status, she will be one of these.
%% * Ratree Surkhanfa qualifies as well. In the words of the person playing her, she is "a meek nerd with combat skills".

%%%% * BadassLongcoat: Roland Wainwright.
%%%% * BadassLongrobe: Kelvin Hornbuckle.

%%%% * BattleCouple: Colin Creevey and Lena Lacy.

%% * CloudCuckooLander:
%%*%% * {{Canon}}: Luna Lovegood.
%% * Non-canon: Ilyana Morus, River Applewhite. Dex Olivier seems a bit off as well.
%% * Considering Ilyana's [[AmbitionIsEvil evil status]], she might be more of an UncannyValleyGirl... however, the [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation jury's still out on that at the moment]].

%%%% * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Pretty much everybody in The Wakefield Group.

* %% * Keep in mind, he said this to ''The Headmistress of Zephyrwit''. As part of a GambitRoulette.

%%%%
%% Leave Crowning Moments to the tags.
%%%%

%% * Just to make sure everyone gets that she's lovably awkward, Jenica Sonsen will lapse into this from time to time as well.
%%%% * DaddysLittleVillain: Natalia Dragomir.

%%%% * DarkActionGirl: Annika Riviera, Taffy Pole. Also, Kalia St. Clair before her HeelFaceTurn.
%%%% * DarkerAndEdgier: As noted in the site description above.

%%%% * DeadpanSnarker: Trowa Marshall, Zaphod Wainwright, Diop Johnson, and Diop's son Josh on the SpinOff site.

%%%% * DefrostingIceQueen: Miranda [[MeaningfulName Frost]].

%%%% * TheDeterminator: Jason has aspects of this.
%%%% * DirtyCoward: Joel Haskell.
%%%% * DisproportionateRetribution: Jason's default setting.

* EldritchAbomination / PhysicalGod: Planeswalkers can certainly end up this way, and certain other creatures on the site could fit this description. The Gaians (beings so far mentioned only in passing) are made of this Trope, as they give physical embodiment to entire concepts of reality.

%% * Sakiko Kanazawa and Cassandra Rubicon are examples of this as well, and Lucy Frost is one on the SpinOff site. This is AuthorAppeal, since five of the six characters mentioned as examples are played by the same person and he's an EthicalSlut in RealLife.

%%%% * EvenEvilHasStandards: {{Invoked|Trope}}by Taffy, who was subverting CombatPragmatist at the time.
%%%% * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Olivia Dawson.

%%%% * FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Aiden Braxton, Jimmy Peakes]].

* %% * Lust of the Seven Sins arc is a femme fatale with a 50s pinup look.
%%%% * FertileFeet: Sakiko.

%%%% * FiveManBand
%%*%% * Jason: TheHero.
%%*%% * Colin: TheLancer.
%%*%% * Madeline: TheChick.
%%*%% * Diop: TheSmartGuy (mixed up a bit with TheBigGuy).
%%*%% * Kieran: PluckyComicRelief.

* %% * There are instances on the site itself as well. For example, the ghost biting Jimmy is a precursor to something more happening with him.

%%%% * GranolaGirl: Lucy, especially on the SpinOff site.

%%%% * HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler: Rodolphus Lestrange]] and [[spoiler: Fenrir Greyback]]. Considering the site's just getting BloodierAndGorier, we're probably not done seeing this trope yet.
%%%% * HeartbrokenBadass: Abel King.

* %% * Until Rage showed up, who is so hell bent that he ''skins the cows alive'' when making them.

%%%% * HeroWithBadPublicity: Jason, [[ZeroApprovalGambit intentionally so]].
%%%% * HeterosexualLifePartners:
%%*%% * Male version: Diop and Kieran.
%%*%% * Female version: Xanthe and Xira.
%%*%% * Considering the subtext between Xira and Ratree, Xanthe might have a shot if she doesn't want the relationship to be so heterosexual anymore.

* %% * He has played on his hot-bloodedness as a form of ObfuscatingStupidity in order to make opponents underestimate him or mistake his true intentions, though... it's entirely possible that he's actually quite level-headed, and is faking the hot temper ''all'' the time.
%%%% * HotTeacher: Most of them, actually.

* %% * In case you were wondering, the actual house sports a ChosenOne, a half giant, a fat chick with a NotSoImaginaryFriend, and a [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent part merperson]].

%%%% * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Walter Zotermeer]].

%% * InvokedTrope: EvenEvilHasStandards, RoaringRampageOfRevenge, EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench, ReallyGetsAround.

%%%% * JerkAss: Kieran Halcyon (pre-CharacterDevelopment).
%%%% * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kieran Halcyon (post-CharacterDevelopment).
%%%% * KavorkaMan: Mick Phanan. Also Quentin Neros, to some extent.

%%%% * PsychoKnifeNut: Rupert Wotan, Sashenka Grigorovich, Taffy Pole.
%%%% * LampshadeHanging: Because there are some tropers here.

%%%% * LittleMissBadass: Xanthe Chapel.

%% * MemeticBadass:
* %% * In-universe, Jason Frost and Ando Saeki both experience this.
* %% * Out of universe, Jason's got some serious potential for it.
* %% * Considering her kill count, Aiden Braxton should probably be one as well.

%%%% * MindRape: Has happened a couple of times. Resulted in a HeelFaceTurn in Antonin Dolohov's case.

* %% * In one of the better-staged (and better kept under wraps before the fact) [[TheReveal Reveals]] in the site's history, Aldous Conor turned out to be one of these. Keep in mind, he had been posing as not just any old {{Mook}}, but the ''BigBad''. And after he revealed his true allegiance, he [[MagnificentBastard got himself appointed Minister of Magic]].
* %% * Olivier Morges has taken over the position of Mole since Aldous left the Death Eaters. He's more your classic ManipulativeBastard though, so he probably won't turn out to be as cool as Aldous.

* %% * Chronologically {{Inverted|Trope}} in Cimarron's case, as she was already a rapist before she killed anybody.
* %% * It's also stated that the werewolves' "punishment" for Eliska's betrayal of them included rape, though this occurred mostly off-camera (so to speak).

* %% * Isabella Devincenzi ''thought'' she was killing Ivan Sudeten. Instead, she inadvertently turned him into a vampire, making him [[MookPromotion much more dangerous]] than he was before.
* %% * By killing [[spoiler: Naga Saeki]], Loreley released the [[Film/{{Juon}} Ju-On curse]].
** %% * [[FromBadToWorse By destroying the Saeki home, Kieran allowed the curse to travel wherever it wanted]].

* %% * Sally Carinaris, in traditional GenkiGirl fashion.
* %% * Envy too, though to a lesser extent. It's mostly towards people with complex names, such as shortening Obderedria's name to Drea and calling Abigail Abby. She also tends to call older characters by their first name, but with a Mr. or Mrs. tacked on (ex. Miss Sakiko), a trait shared by Abigail Delgado.
* %% * Caulfield Julliard does it in traditional {{Jerkass}} fashion instead, except with Ratree "[[MythologyGag "She Who Must Not Be Nicknamed]]" Surkhanfa (which is [[HypocriticalHumor technically a nickname]]).

* %% * Interestingly enough, in his first appearance on ''Hogwarts Rising'' Jason went only by his Quidditch nickname, "Pinata".

* %% * Kieran's planted a kiss on Loreley, and she ''still'' doesn't realize he has feelings for her.

%%%% * OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Even from [[{{Canon}} J.K. Rowling's]].
%%%% * ParentalAbandonment: Several times, including a TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive version on the SpinOff site.

* %% * On the SpinOff site Abel is the id, Jason is the superego, and Mandos is the ego. Although [[HotBlooded Jason]] and [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Abel]] can be interchanged.
%%%% * PregnantBadass: Madeline, currently.

%%%% * RailingKill: Several times in the Azkaban thread.

* %% * Caulfield Julliard was born on [[ComicBook/VForVendetta November 5th]]. Just saying.

%%%% * RedemptionEqualsSex: Miranda Frost and Aldous Conor. With each other.

%%%% * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Has occurred several times.

* %% * To be fair to Aldous, he [[GambitRoulette knew the shit was about to hit the fan]], and [[TrainingFromHell wanted his students to be prepared for it]].

* %% * [[spoiler: Even if Jason ''is'' the hostage, he'll run himself through with a sword in order to [[TakingYouWithMe take down the Muggle terrorist holding a gun on him]].]]
%%%% * ShoutOut:

%%%% * SmugSnake: Orville Brand, in spades. Other villains have aspects as well, but Orville cranks this trope up to eleven.
%%%% * SpinOffspring: Several examples on Hogwarts Futures. Some are {{Legacy Character}}s.

%%%% * StringyHairedGhostGirl: The one and only [[Film/TheGrudge Kayako Saeki]].

%%%% * TimeAbyss: Sakiko.
%%%% * TooKinkyToTorture: Atreya Mourant.

%% * Kalia St. Clair is ''always'' one for the good guys' side, and is in fact becoming the MemeticBadass version of this trope.

%%%% * TrueCompanions: An excessively large example in Dumbledore's Army.

%%%% * WaifProphet: River Applewhite.

%%%% * WorldOfBadass

%% * EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Done in [[http://z12.invisionfree.com/Honorable_Hogwarts/index.php?showtopic=956&st=45&#last this thread]], when a lot of wreckage is transfigured into a ''Tyrannosaurus rex''.

%% * HotScientist: Jenica Sonsen plays it straight, Sally Carinaris has many aspects but technically should be termed a "Hot Potions Babe".

* BadassCreed: Jason, addressing the other inaugural members of the [[BadassCrew Order of the Silver Dagger]] for the first time, told them: "From this point forth we show no mercy, give no quarter, and take no prisoners. If they want to call themselves the Death Eaters, then [[KillEmAll let them taste death!"]] The last line of this became the group's [[ArcWords official motto]].

%% * KillEmAll: Noah Howerton's ultimate goal is to destroy all other wizards so that he can rule the0 world.

%% * ReligionOfEvil: The Brotherhood of the Light certainly qualify, not only because their goal is to [[KillEmAll exterminate all magic-users]], but also because they're actually [[spoiler: a front for a world domination plot]].

%% * AxCrazy: Rupert Wotan, even if his WeaponOfChoice ''was'' a [[PsychoKnifeNut knife]].

%% * TheReveal: Usually done surprisingly well considering the way SturgeonsLaw applies to {{Fanon}}. In fact, examples of this trope could be used in defense of the site if anyone ever claims the writing's not good.

%% * AbsoluteCleavage: Taffy Pole's outfits are often described as containing this.

* %% * Miscellaneous: The main site's title.

* BigDamnVillains: Tawnie has [[ThouShaltNotKill moral qualms]] about using deadly force against the [[ReligionOfEvil Brotherhood of the Light]]. Not to worry... she shares a psychic link with Sasha Rookwood, who has no problem whatsoever assuming control of Tawnie's mind and body and firing off a [[InstantDeathBullet Killing Curse]].

%% * FemmeFatale: Most female Death Eaters fit this trope, and Maria Fernandez on the SpinOff site is this turned UpToEleven.

%%%% * SmugSnake: Orville Brand, in spades. Other villains have aspects as well, but Orville cranks this trope UpToEleven.

%% * AxCrazy: Rupert Wotan, even if his WeaponOfChoice ''was'' a [[KnifeNut knife]].

%%%% * KnifeNut: Rupert Wotan, Sashenka Grigorovich, Taffy Pole.

''Honorable Hogwarts'' is a [[{{PlayByPostGames}} play by post roleplaying game]] set [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture about a year after]] the seventh and final ''Literature/HarryPotter'' book. It is known for its [[GambitPileup convoluted]], [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters labyrinthine]] and {{troperrific}} storyline (the site emphasizes writing/storytelling over roleplaying, and because at least eight tropers are featured among its regular members is rather [[LampshadeHanging brightly lit]]).

* CulturalTranslation: Though the bulk of the storyline does take place in England still, the American WizardingSchool (and Wizarding Village) have been introduced, causing several American characters to expand the site's [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters population]]. Also, especially considering that the person playing him is an American, Jason's political views -- especially regarding the death penalty -- could be an example of this trope (though if that's the case it wasn't intentional).

%%%% * LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: And then some.

%%%% * TrueCompanions: An [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters excessively large]] example in Dumbledore's Army.

* %% * "Someone's at the door." Almost a CatchPhrase for River. Although it is a bit of a ShoutOut to ''Series/AmericanGothic1995'', the meaning of the words is entirely different here.
* %% * Also spoken by River: "I am Kali the Goddess of Death." If you hear her say this, ''run''.

* %% * Once Xanthe Chapel no longer qualifies for [[LittleMissBadass Lolita]] status, she will be one of these.
* %% * Ratree Surkhanfa qualifies as well. In the words of the person playing her, she is "a meek nerd with combat skills".

* AbortedArc: Sometimes, when a player leaves the site for good, their characters' side storylines just get dropped entirely.
* AbsoluteCleavage: Taffy Pole's outfits are often described as containing this.

* ActionGirl: Lena Lacy.

* AlliterativeName:
** Canon:
*** Luna Lovegood
*** Minerva [=McGonagall=]
*** Triwizard Tournament.
** Non-canon:
*** Bella Banning
*** Edeline Emerson
*** Lena Lacy
** Miscellaneous: The main site's title.

%%* AmbiguouslyGay: Avilon Rayne.

** So, Anya's baby being born so "early" [[ItMakesSenseInContext makes sense in context]].
%%* AntiHero: Jason.
%%* AntiVillain: Aldous Conor.
%%* AnyoneCanDie: Whoo boy.
* ArcWords:
** "Someone's at the door." Almost a CatchPhrase for River. Although it is a bit of a ShoutOut to ''Series/AmericanGothic1995'', the meaning of the words is entirely different here.
** Also spoken by River: "I am Kali the Goddess of Death." If you hear her say this, ''run''.

* AssholeVictim: The only thing that's kept Jason from crossing the MoralEventHorizon is that the people he's maiming, torturing and killing usually deserve it. Also, Ando Saeki's first kill was [[spoiler: Rita Skeeter]], who definitely had it coming. Doesn't make Ando any better, but killing her was arguably a PetTheDog moment.
%%* TheAtoner: Turin Holdsclaw. Yes, ''[[Literature/TheSilmarillion Turin]]''.

* AxCrazy: Rupert Wotan, even if his WeaponOfChoice ''was'' a [[KnifeNut knife]].
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: Aeolus Warbeck]] was resurrected by Aldous Conor.
* BackToBackBadasses: Jason and Lena in the Battle of Azkaban, Jason and Madeline in the Battle of St. Mungo's.
* BadassAdorable: River has elements of this, especially when she goes all "Kali Goddess of Death".
** Envy as well.
* BadassBack: Jason, Lena, Colin, Alvin, Darius and Taffy are all quite fond of this fighting style.
* BadassBiker: Colin Creevey bought Hagrid's flying motorcycle. He was already a badass at the time.
* BadassBookworm:
** Luna Lovegood, Abel King, Trowa Marshall, Alvin Pairis, Sally Carinaris... the bad guys have Natalia Dragomir.
** Once Xanthe Chapel no longer qualifies for [[LittleMissBadass Lolita]] status, she will be one of these.
** Ratree Surkhanfa qualifies as well. In the words of the person playing her, she is "a meek nerd with combat skills".

%%* BadassLongcoat: Roland Wainwright.
%%* BadassLongrobe: Kelvin Hornbuckle.

* BastardUnderstudy: Jason, to Aldous Conor. And on the SpinOff site, to Jacob Zotermeer.
%%* BattleCouple: Colin Creevey and Lena Lacy.

* BigGood: Possibly Sakiko, which would likely make her the first ever bisexual example of this trope.

* BloodKnight: Darius Walker. He's even got the [[ShoutOut page quote]] in his signature.

* BreakTheCutie: Loreley Avalon, and to a lesser extent Tawnie Hart. River Applewhite came conveniently pre-broken.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Cimarron and Vix are damn good fighters for characters whose primary purpose seems to be FanService.

* TheChessmaster: Aldous Conor.

* CloudCuckooLander:
%%** {{Canon}}: Luna Lovegood.
** Non-canon: Ilyana Morus, River Applewhite. Dex Olivier seems a bit off as well.
*** Considering Ilyana's [[AmbitionIsEvil evil status]], she might be more of an UncannyValleyGirl... however, the [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation jury's still out on that at the moment]].

* ContinuityLockout: A mild case. For a newcomer it can be hard to determine which order to read old threads to catch up on site backstory.
%%* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Pretty much everybody in The Wakefield Group.
* CountryMatters:

** Keep in mind, he said this to ''The Headmistress of Zephyrwit''. As part of a GambitRoulette.
* CreepyMonotone: River tends to deliver prophecies and other insights in this tone of voice.

* CuteClumsyGirl: Xanthe Chapel's clumsiness was a major character trait early on, but she's since [[TookALevelInBadass gotten better]].
** Just to make sure everyone gets that she's lovably awkward, Jenica Sonsen will lapse into this from time to time as well.
%%* DaddysLittleVillain: Natalia Dragomir.

%%* DarkActionGirl: Annika Riviera, Taffy Pole. Also, Kalia St. Clair before her HeelFaceTurn.
%%* DarkerAndEdgier: As noted in the site description above.

%%* DeadpanSnarker: Trowa Marshall, Zaphod Wainwright, Diop Johnson, and Diop's son Josh on the SpinOff site.

%%* DefrostingIceQueen: Miranda [[MeaningfulName Frost]].

* DepravedBisexual: Atreya Mourant. Cimarron Arriaga fits certain aspects as well, though she's more an example of ExtremeOmnisexual because, although [[SexualHarassmentAndRapeTropes some of her actions]] might be morally ambiguous, she's not ''usually'' depraved.
%%* TheDeterminator: Jason has aspects of this.
%%* DirtyCoward: Joel Haskell.
%%* DisproportionateRetribution: Jason's default setting.

* DracoInLeatherPants: [[invoked]] The whole reason the Blair Duchess character was invented, though she's since experienced copious amounts of CharacterDevelopment and become much more important to the storyline than just "Draco Malfoy's girlfriend".

* EnemyMine: Jason teams up with The Wakefield Group to take down [[ReligionOfEvil The Brotherhood of the Light]]. A HeelFaceRevolvingDoor is born.

** Sakiko Kanazawa and Cassandra Rubicon are examples of this as well, and Lucy Frost is one on the SpinOff site. This is AuthorAppeal, since five of the six characters mentioned as examples are played by the same person and he's an EthicalSlut in RealLife.
* ExtremeOmnisexual: Cimarron Arriaga and Vix Tilmitt were both characters created with the intention of being "the female [[Series/{{Torchwood}} Jack Harkness]]". Obviously, that invokes this trope.
%%* EvenEvilHasStandards: {{Invoked|Trope}}by Taffy, who was subverting CombatPragmatist at the time.
%%* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Olivia Dawson.
* EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench: {{Invoked|Trope}} by Hugo Cutter during the Battle of Ottery St. Catchpole, while he was fighting a female vampire with a French accent.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Done in [[http://z12.invisionfree.com/Honorable_Hogwarts/index.php?showtopic=956&st=45&#last this thread]], when a lot of wreckage is transfigured into a ''Tyrannosaurus rex''.
* EvilIsNotAToy: The Saekis [[SealedEvilInACan sealed]] Kayako inside a portrait, but couldn't resist enchanting and attempting to control the rest of the [[Film/TheGrudge Ju-On]]. Holy shit, did they make a mistake.
* EyeScream: Has happened a couple of times, most notably with Ezekiel Nance. He likes to [[LampshadeHanging refer to it in his dialogue]], too.
%%* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Aiden Braxton, Jimmy Peakes]].
* FanService: Many different female characters, and a handful of male ones as well, have provided this at some point or another.
* FantasticRacism: One of Lucy's BerserkButtons... she's constantly railing against the mistreatment of [[WhatMeasureIsANonhuman nonhumans]] by the wizard establishment.
* FantasyGunControl: Averted. Guns aren't common, and they are technically illegal in Britain, but they do pop up from time to time.
* FemmeFatale: Most female Death Eaters fit this trope, and Maria Fernandez on the SpinOff site is this turned UpToEleven.
** Lust of the Seven Sins arc is a femme fatale with a 50s pinup look.
%%* FertileFeet: Sakiko.
* FilleFatale: Elena Vidierra, who also counts as SpinOffspring. Her mother Alvanna is one of the scarier [[FemmeFatale Femme Fatales]] on the main site.
%%* FiveManBand
%%** Jason: TheHero.
%%** Colin: TheLancer.
%%** Madeline: TheChick.
%%** Diop: TheSmartGuy (mixed up a bit with TheBigGuy).
%%** Kieran: PluckyComicRelief.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Some of the things listed on this page won't be happening on the actual site until later this month. Beware of spoilers, for they are rarely marked.
** There are instances on the site itself as well. For example, the ghost biting Jimmy is a precursor to something more happening with him.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Subverted. Lucy has aspects of this trope, but is also a budding TortureTechnician; Sakiko is a friend to all non-human living things but will gladly [[ShootTheDog kill anyone standing in the way of her prophecy being fulfilled]].
* GambitRoulette: Aldous' first gambit was a bit too convoluted to be be a mere {{plan}}
* GenkiGirl: Sally Carinaris. Not an extreme version but she's got a few elements. Abigail Delgado, especially when she's gotten enough candy in her. Envy Evans is also an extremely hyper, [[PerkyGoth Perky Goth]].
* AGodAmI: According to Roland Wainwright (who would know), this is the [[BecauseDestinySaysSo inevitable fate]] awaiting any [[TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering Planeswalker]].
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Werewolves are known to be capable of regenerating fairly quickly from any injury that wasn't inflicted by either another werewolf or a silver weapon (they've even grown back severed limbs, and at a faster rate than expected).
* {{Gorn}}: Not something that happens all the time, but some of the death scenes do require BrainBleach.
%%* GranolaGirl: Lucy, especially on the SpinOff site.
* GratuitousFrench: Remy de Sand, to the point of being TheUnintelligible at times.
%%* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler: Rodolphus Lestrange]] and [[spoiler: Fenrir Greyback]]. Considering the site's just getting BloodierAndGorier, we're probably not done seeing this trope yet.
%%* HeartbrokenBadass: Abel King.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Interesting scenario with two of them facing off against but also occasionally helping each other... Jason Frost often winds up on the good ([[BlackAndGrayMorality by this site's standards anyway]]) side, but has his evil moments; Jacob Zotermeer is a CardCarryingVillain most of the time who inexplicably helps the heroes out on numerous occasions. To make it even more confusing, they're locked in an ongoing game of XanatosSpeedChess with each other.
* HeelFaceTurn: For [[GoodFeelsGood some reason]], many Death Eaters have pulled one of these.
* HellBentForLeather: Taffy Pole and Atreya Mourant are both female examples of this. As of right now there really isn't a male example for [[MostWritersAreMale some reason]].
** Until Rage showed up, who is so hell bent that he ''skins the cows alive'' when making them.
* HeroicSacrifice: Has happened a few times, though not always resulting in death... [[spoiler: Draco Malfoy]] was just blinded, not killed.
%%* HeroWithBadPublicity: Jason, [[ZeroApprovalGambit intentionally so]].
%%* HeterosexualLifePartners:
%%** Male version: Diop and Kieran.
%%** Female version: Xanthe and Xira.
%%** Considering the subtext between Xira and Ratree, Xanthe might have a shot if she doesn't want the relationship to be so heterosexual anymore.
* HotBlooded: Jason. Applies to a couple of other characters as well, but considering that Jason is inspired largely by [[Literature/SwordOfTruth Richard Rahl]], he's basically made of this trope.
** He has played on his hot-bloodedness as a form of ObfuscatingStupidity in order to make opponents underestimate him or mistake his true intentions, though... it's entirely possible that he's actually quite level-headed, and is faking the hot temper ''all'' the time.
* HotScientist: Jenica Sonsen plays it straight, Sally Carinaris has many aspects but technically should be termed a "Hot Potions Babe".
%%* HotTeacher: Most of them, actually.
* HotterAndSexier: Certainly moreso than {{Canon}}, though not X-rated (at least, not usually).
* HufflepuffHouse: Surprisingly subverted in something Harry Potter related. All the houses have a mix of active plot plowing characters and background fringe. Other groups created for the site usually have good detail and a mix of active or static characters.
** In case you were wondering, the actual house sports a ChosenOne, a half giant, a fat chick with a NotSoImaginaryFriend, and a [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent part merperson]].
* HugeSchoolgirl: Kai Andrews. Wendy Spanogle, being part-giant, would also qualify. And Lucy Frost is, like all members of the Frost family, extraordinarily tall (5'9" at 14 years of age).
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: The Azkaban Thread, The St. Mungo's Thread, The Ottery St. Catchpole Thread... every thread seems to state its in-universe location via MediumAwareness.
%%* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Walter Zotermeer]].
* ImAHumanitarian: Fenrir Greyback and Dimitri Petrojsko are both werewolf characters who consume human flesh even while not transformed.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: Has been said numerous times. In fact, it's basically a CatchPhrase for Duo Warrington.
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: On the SpinOff site, Maria Fernandez seems to admire Jason perhaps a bit too much. Especially considering some of the things that Jason has [[MoralEventHorizon done]].
* InvokedTrope: EvenEvilHasStandards, RoaringRampageOfRevenge, EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench, ReallyGetsAround.
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Actually, some of Jason's interrogation techniques would make Jack Bauer pull a VomitIndiscretionShot.
%%* JerkAss: Kieran Halcyon (pre-CharacterDevelopment).
%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kieran Halcyon (post-CharacterDevelopment).
%%* KavorkaMan: Mick Phanan. Also Quentin Neros, to some extent.
* {{Keet}}: Minus the bit about loudness (though he has his moments), this is Tawnos Fiedor.
* KillEmAll: Noah Howerton's ultimate goal is to destroy all other wizards so that he can rule the0 world.
%%* KnifeNut: Rupert Wotan, Sashenka Grigorovich, Taffy Pole.
%%* LampshadeHanging: Because there are some tropers here.
* LipstickLesbian: Sakura Leone. Cimarron and Vix, when they're having sex with other women, could qualify as well.
%%* LittleMissBadass: Xanthe Chapel.
%%* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: And then some.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfRoles: Remember how we said how that one guy has almost a hundred characters? There are very few people actually playing the 250ish character accounts. When you look at the site as a whole you start to notice when a thread is just one author playing by himself/herself.
* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Now that we have regular visits to [[Series/{{Lost}} The Island]], [[TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering Planeswalkers]] all over the place and [[Film/TheGrudge Kayako]] running around ripping people's jaws out, the site is starting to become this.
* MegaManning: An evil version in Ando Saeki, who [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything steals people's powers by removing their brains]].
* MemeticBadass:
** In-universe, Jason Frost and Ando Saeki both experience this.
** Out of universe, Jason's got some serious potential for it.
** Considering her kill count, Aiden Braxton should probably be one as well.
* AMillionIsAStatistic: When Jason's kill count comes up in a conversation on the SpinOff site, it's mentioned in vague terms (though the word "million" is thrown around) that he likely has well over a million kills, perhaps as many as two or three million.
%%* MindRape: Has happened a couple of times. Resulted in a HeelFaceTurn in Antonin Dolohov's case.
* TheMole:
** In one of the better-staged (and better kept under wraps before the fact) [[TheReveal Reveals]] in the site's history, Aldous Conor turned out to be one of these. Keep in mind, he had been posing as not just any old {{Mook}}, but the ''BigBad''. And after he revealed his true allegiance, he [[MagnificentBastard got himself appointed Minister of Magic]].
** Olivier Morges has taken over the position of Mole since Aldous left the Death Eaters. He's more your classic ManipulativeBastard though, so he probably won't turn out to be as cool as Aldous.
* MookPromotion: When Fenrir Greyback was killed, Dimitri Petrojsko took over leadership of the werewolves.
* MoralityPet: Madeline keeps Jason on the right side of the MoralEventHorizon (for the most part anyway). When Madeline is holding the DistressBall, however, it's healthier even for innocent bystanders to [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge hide in the deepest hole they can find and not make a single sound]].
* MotherNature: Sakiko at least ''claims'' to be this. Considering [[AGodAmI the usual path that Planeswalkers take]], it's not too far outside the realm of possibility.
* MrFanservice: Muggle Studies [[HotTeacher teacher]] Brodie Carinaris is quite possibly the only Hogwarts teacher with a full-fledged fan club of drooling female students. And he's played by Creator/JoshHartnett, too.
* MurderersAreRapists: Usually averted, but not in the case of Garrick Atterton.
** Chronologically {{Inverted|Trope}} in Cimarron's case, as she was already a rapist before she killed anybody.
** It's also stated that the werewolves' "punishment" for Eliska's betrayal of them included rape, though this occurred mostly off-camera (so to speak).
* MyKungFuIsStrongerThanYours: [[InvokedTrope Spoken]] to a punching bag during a workout routine.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** Isabella Devincenzi ''thought'' she was killing Ivan Sudeten. Instead, she inadvertently turned him into a vampire, making him [[MookPromotion much more dangerous]] than he was before.
** By killing [[spoiler: Naga Saeki]], Loreley released the [[Film/{{Juon}} Ju-On curse]].
*** [[FromBadToWorse By destroying the Saeki home, Kieran allowed the curse to travel wherever it wanted]].
* TheNicknamer:
** Sally Carinaris, in traditional GenkiGirl fashion.
** Envy too, though to a lesser extent. It's mostly towards people with complex names, such as shortening Obderedria's name to Drea and calling Abigail Abby. She also tends to call older characters by their first name, but with a Mr. or Mrs. tacked on (ex. Miss Sakiko), a trait shared by Abigail Delgado.
** Caulfield Julliard does it in traditional {{Jerkass}} fashion instead, except with Ratree "[[MythologyGag "She Who Must Not Be Nicknamed]]" Surkhanfa (which is [[HypocriticalHumor technically a nickname]]).
* NoNameGiven: Envy, who is known only by that nickname... neither her first name nor her last name are known to anybody, not even her Hogwarts roommate Madeline Frost.
** Interestingly enough, in his first appearance on ''Hogwarts Rising'' Jason went only by his Quidditch nickname, "Pinata".
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Jason, in the {{Prequel}} FanFic: "No, I'm not like Voldemort. I'm much fucking worse."
* ObliviousToLove: Loreley doesn't realize that when Kieran told her he loved her, he meant it in a romantic way and not a brotherly one. Loreley's cousin Raina likewise didn't catch on that Jimmy Peakes had the hots for her.
** Kieran's planted a kiss on Loreley, and she ''still'' doesn't realize he has feelings for her.
* OffTheRails: The site's creator probably didn't intend it to go like this, but it was set up as a collaborative storytelling effort.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Demons are becoming very integral to the plot as of late, and are classified by origin and mythology. See the bit on vampires below.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Sort of. Effort has been made to expand ''Harry Potter'''s vampirism with material from various real-world mythologies, without contradicting the letter or spirit of any [[{{Canon}} established lore]]. As a result, several different species of vampires have been mentioned.
%%* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Even from [[{{Canon}} J.K. Rowling's]].
%%* ParentalAbandonment: Several times, including a TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive version on the SpinOff site.
* ThePlan: There have been several, pulled off by many different characters. Aldous Conor's really good at them.
* PowerIncontinence: A side effect of Loreley's amnesia was that she lost control of her [[ShapeShifter Metamorphmagus]] abilities and started taking on the physical appearance of whoever she met.
* PowerPerversionPotential: Plenty, as always, with any Metamorphmagus. But Rule Thirty Six applies, and beware the dreaded ShapeshiftingSquick.
* PowerTrio: Tawnos is the id, Xira is the superego, Xanthe is the ego.
** On the SpinOff site Abel is the id, Jason is the superego, and Mandos is the ego. Although [[HotBlooded Jason]] and [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Abel]] can be interchanged.
%%* PregnantBadass: Madeline, currently.
* PreppyName: Hadley Sharpe, Tatum West, Orville Brand... Neville Longbottom is a good {{Canon}} example.
* PunnyName: Taffy Pole.
* PutOnABus: It'd be impossible for some players to use all of their characters at the same time (there's one guy who has almost a hundred). This is how we keep the ones who aren't necessary for a certain {{Arc}} [[RunningGag busty]] without actually having to post with them.
%%* RailingKill: Several times in the Azkaban thread.
* ReallyGetsAround: Initially, Summit Rookwood. Now, Cimarron Arriaga and Vix Tilmitt are bisexual versions, and have completely replaced Summit (who is in a monogamous relationship).
* RebelliousSpirit: Lucy. Several other members of [[TrueCompanions Dumbledore's Army]], especially Madeline, exhibit elements of this trope, but Lucy embodies it.
** Caulfield Julliard was born on [[ComicBook/VForVendetta November 5th]]. Just saying.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: Jean-Pierre Morges]] and [[spoiler: Antonin Dolohov]]. [[NeverFoundTheBody Questionably]] [[spoiler: Lucius Malfoy]] as well.
%%* RedemptionEqualsSex: Miranda Frost and Aldous Conor. With each other.
* RefusedTheCall: Kyleigh Grace has ''no'' interest in being a [[TheChosenOne Chosen One]].
* ReligionOfEvil: The Brotherhood of the Light certainly qualify, not only because their goal is to [[KillEmAll exterminate all magic-users]], but also because they're actually [[spoiler: a front for a world domination plot]].
* TheReveal: Usually done surprisingly well considering the way SturgeonsLaw applies to {{Fanon}}. In fact, examples of this trope could be used in defense of the site if anyone ever claims the writing's not good.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: In the {{Prequel}} FanFic, this applies heavily to the Muggle-born Revolt. They take scalps as trophies, use biological warfare and [[RevengeByProxy go after the family members of enemy collaborators]]. Jason even ''admits'' that he's worse than Voldemort, because being more than the BigBad is [[HeWhoFightsMonsters the only way he can win]].
* RocksFallEveryoneDies: Averted in [[http://z12.invisionfree.com/Honorable_Hogwarts/index.php?showtopic=744 this thread]]. Rocks fell. Only a couple of people died.
%%* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Has occurred several times.
* RunningGag: A female member once mistyped "busy" as "busty" in an OOC conversation. Now, the default excuse for a prolonged absence from the site -- even from male posters -- is "I've been really busty lately".
* SadistTeacher: When the story first started, Aldous Conor was Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Only one student didn't hate him, and that was because she had the hots for him.
** To be fair to Aldous, he [[GambitRoulette knew the shit was about to hit the fan]], and [[TrainingFromHell wanted his students to be prepared for it]].
* SealedEvilInACan: How did the Saekis deal with [[Film/{{Juon}} the Ju-On curse]]? They sealed [[StringyHairedGhostGirl Kayako]] in a portrait and then used an enchantment on that portrait to control the other ghosts from the curse. This led to the rumor that they had "trained ghosts for combat". Which wasn't true. The truth is much worse.
* SelfMadeOrphan: Jason [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill disintegrated]] his father.
* ShapeshiftingSquick: Cimarron has invented a spell that allows her to [[GenderBender grow a penis]]. It was originally intended to make sex with women more interesting for both parties, but was later [[SexualHarassmentAndRapeTropes used]] in an [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique interrogation]].
* ShootTheDog: Too many examples to list. Jason will not hesitate to attack ''anyone'' who poses a threat, and will even [[ShootTheHostage fire through a hostage in order to hit the person using them as a shield]].
** [[spoiler: Even if Jason ''is'' the hostage, he'll run himself through with a sword in order to [[TakingYouWithMe take down the Muggle terrorist holding a gun on him]].]]

* ShowWithinAShow: On the SpinOff site, due to the [[TheUnmasquedWorld Unmasqueing]] of the Wizarding World, Muggle TV producers are scrambling to find magically-oriented programming. The first result we see of this is ''Hart & Avalon'', a PoliceProcedural which follows the adventures of [[FutureBadass famous Aurors]] Tawnie Hart and Loreley Avalon. It's basically ''Series/RizzoliAndIsles'' with wands.
* SimultaneousArcs: Done all the time... every player has at least one character with their own thing going on, in addition to whatever the "main arc" is.
* SixthRanger: Whenever a new member joins the site and sticks around for any suitable length of time, their primary character becomes either this or a [[TheLancer Lancer]] to one of the other main characters. Examples of Sixth Rangers include Jason Frost (who eventually became the [[DesignatedHero main character]]), Lena Lacy (still a bit of a Sixth Ranger), and Abel King (who is new enough to still be considered a Sixth Ranger but is moving more toward Lancer status).
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: Mandos Fiedor, arguably the smartest character on the main site, is a chess fanatic and budding [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] (on the SpinOff site, he has MagnificentBastard potential). Alphonse Becker from the SpinOff site is, like main-site Mandos, a Hogwarts student who is off-the-charts intelligent and loves chess.
%%* SmugSnake: Orville Brand, in spades. Other villains have aspects as well, but Orville cranks this trope UpToEleven.
%%* SpinOffspring: Several examples on Hogwarts Futures. Some are {{Legacy Character}}s.
* StayFrosty: Ray Garside has said this a couple of times, and also has it in his signature.
* StockBritishPhrases: Used mostly from a swear-word standpoint... "sodding" instead of "fucking", "wanker" instead of "asshole", and so on. Occasionally subverted by having a more American word crop up, though... it depends largely on who's writing the post and whether or not they remember that the bulk of the storyline takes place in England.
* StrawmanPolitical: The Brotherhood of the Light allow for a negative depiction of Christianity, and Harry's [[WideEyedIdealist idealism]] is occasionally played for strawman liberal purposes (although Jason views him more as a cross between TheChick and TheLoad than in any specific political terms).
%%* StringyHairedGhostGirl: The one and only [[Film/TheGrudge Kayako Saeki]].
* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler: Colin Creevey]] and [[spoiler: Cimarron Arriaga]] were killed off on the SpinOff site in its first month of activity.
* TakeThat: Literature/HarryPotter (the character more than the series, which is why it's not italicized).
%%* TimeAbyss: Sakiko.
%%* TooKinkyToTorture: Atreya Mourant.
* TortureTechnician: Anyanka Dementieva is the MindRape version of this. Jason ''can'' be one for the good guys' side.
** Kalia St. Clair is ''always'' one for the good guys' side, and is in fact becoming the MemeticBadass version of this trope.

%%* TrueCompanions: An [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters excessively large]] example in Dumbledore's Army.

* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Jason certainly believes so.

%%* WaifProphet: River Applewhite.

* WizardingSchool: The original one, albeit slightly different from {{Canon}}.
%%* WorldOfBadass
* XanatosSpeedChess: Pops up from time to time. Jason seems to enjoy a good game of it intermittently, especially against one of the villains.
* YouALLShareMyStory: You betcha. While there are many complex and individual plots as characters start, eventually the entire forces of good and evil band together.

* HeterosexualLifePartners:
** Male version: Diop and Kieran.
** Female version: Xanthe and Xira.

''Honorable Hogwarts'' can be found [[http://s12.invisionfree.com/Honorable_Hogwarts/index.php here]], and ''Hogwarts Futures'' can be found [[http://s8.invisionfree.com/Hogwarts_Futures/ here]]. There is also a {{Prequel}} FanFic in the works, which tells what the characters on the site were doing during the timeframe of ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows''.

** In case you were wondering, the actual house sports a ChosenOne, a [[MixedAncestry half giant]], a fat chick with a NotSoImaginaryFriend, and a [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent part merperson]].

* NotSoDifferent: Jason, in the {{Prequel}} FanFic: "No, I'm not like Voldemort. I'm much fucking worse."

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Done in [[http://z12.invisionfree.com/Honorable_Hogwarts/index.php?showtopic=956&st=45&#last this thread]], when a lot of wreckage is transfigured into a TyrannosaurusRex.

* ForumPeckingOrder: Some slight subversions... though the site creator does fulfill the usual role, many members of the "Old Guard" are also mods or admins.

* ForumPeckingOrder: Some slight subversions... though the site creator does fulfill the usual role, many members of the "Old Guard" are also mods or admins (even TheShepherd has admin powers).

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: [[invoked]] Harry's not a noble idealist, he's a [[{{StrawmanPolitical}} dangerously wimpy pacifist who gets people killed]]; Colin Creevey's actually really a [[GoodSmokingEvilSmoking chainsmoking]] BadassBiker who knows not only [[{{IKnowKarate}} kung fu]] but also ''LeParkour''; Draco Malfoy is [[{{HeelFaceTurn}} actually not that bad a guy]], and capable of HeroicSacrifice if need be (not to mention wearing [[{{DracoInLeatherPants}} leather pants]]).
* AmbiguouslyGay: Avilon Rayne.

* AntiHero: Jason.
* AntiVillain: Aldous Conor.
* AnyoneCanDie: Whoo boy.
* ArcWords

* TheAtoner: Turin Holdsclaw. Yes, ''[[Literature/TheSilmarillion Turin]]''.

* AxCrazy: Rupert Wotan, even if his WeaponOfChoice ''was'' a [[{{KnifeNut}} knife]].

* BadassBookworm

** Once Xanthe Chapel no longer qualifies for [[{{LittleMissBadass}} Lolita]] status, she will be one of these.

* BadassCreed: Jason, addressing the other inaugural members of the [[{{BadassCrew}} Order of the Silver Dagger]] for the first time, told them: "From this point forth we show no mercy, give no quarter, and take no prisoners. If they want to call themselves the Death Eaters, then [[{{KillEmAll}} let them taste death!"]] The last line of this became the group's [[{{ArcWords}} official motto]].

* BattleCouple: Colin Creevey and Lena Lacy.
* BattleInTheRain: The Ottery St. Catchpole thread. [[{{FridgeLogic}} Lot of explosives in use considering the inclement weather, too.]]

** Brent Phanan goes quite literally AxCrazy over [[{{AbusiveParents}} child abuse]].

* BloodKnight: Darius Walker. He's even got the [[{{ShoutOut}} page quote]] in his signature.

* CaptainErsatz: River Applewhite ([[Series/{{Firefly}} River Tam]]), Consuela Bananahammock ([[Series/{{Friends}} Phoebe Buffett]]), Jacob Zotermeer ([[Series/{{Lost}} Benjamin Linus]]), Roland Wainwright ([[Franchise/TheDarkTower Roland Deschain]], with [[TheSameOnlyBetter magical powers]]), Ando Saeki ([[Series/{{Heroes}} Sylar]]), [[Film/DieAnotherDay Miranda Frost]].

* ChessMotifs: Jacob Zotermeer has started using these in his dialogue recently. Though he'll [[{{AscendedExtra}} still need]] more CharacterDevelopment before we know whether he's a [[{{TheChessmaster}} Chessmaster]] or a MagnificentBastard (the latter is more likely, considering he's inspired by [[Series/{{Lost}} Ben Linus]]), pre-VillainDecay.

* ChivalrousPervert: Kieran Halcyon. He might talk the talk, but he wouldn't act on most of the sexual innuendo he spouts... he's doing it [[{{PlayedForLaughs}} for laughs]]. Besides, he might still have a shot with the one girl who's actually really caught his eye. [[{{AllLoveIsUnrequited}} Possibly]].
* CloudCuckooLander
** {{Canon}}: Luna Lovegood.

*** Considering Ilyana's [[AmbitionIsEvil evil status]], she might be more of an UncannyValleyGirl... however, the [[{{AlternateCharacterInterpretation}} jury's still out on that at the moment]].

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Pretty much everybody in The Wakefield Group.
* CountryMatters
->'''Jason:''' Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now, you Death Eater cunt.

* CulturalTranslation: Though the bulk of the storyline does take place in England still, the American WizardingSchool (and Wizarding Village) have been introduced, causing several American characters to expand the site's [[{{LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters}} population]]. Also, especially considering that the person playing him is an American, Jason's political views -- especially regarding the death penalty -- could be an example of this trope (though if that's the case it wasn't intentional).
* CuteClumsyGirl: Xanthe Chapel's clumsiness was a major character trait early on, but she's since [[{{TookALevelInBadass}} gotten better]].

* DaddysLittleVillain: Natalia Dragomir.

* DarkActionGirl: Annika Riviera, Taffy Pole. Also, Kalia St. Clair before her HeelFaceTurn.
* DarkerAndEdgier: As noted in the site description above.

* DeadpanSnarker: Trowa Marshall, Zaphod Wainwright, Diop Johnson, and Diop's son Josh on the SpinOff site.

* DefrostingIceQueen: Miranda [[MeaningfulName Frost]].

* TheDeterminator: Jason has aspects of this.
* DirtyCoward: Joel Haskell.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Jason's default setting.

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Mostly happens to {{Canon}} characters that aren't well-liked (or need to be killed off for [[{{RuleOfDrama}} dramatic purposes]]), though [[{{AnyoneCanDie}} a fair amount of bridges are dropped on original characters as well]].
* DualWielding: Jason can do this [[{{RuleOfCool}} with magic spells]]. So can certain other characters who [[{{MagicAIsMagicA}} cast spells without using wands]], but Jason does it more often than them.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[{{InvokedTrope}} Invoked]] by Taffy, who was subverting CombatPragmatist at the time.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Olivia Dawson.
* EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench: [[{{InvokedTrope}} Invoked]] by Hugo Cutter during the Battle of Ottery St. Catchpole, while he was fighting a female vampire with a French accent.

* EyeScream: Has happened a couple of times, most notably with Ezekiel Nance. He likes to [[{{LampshadeHanging}} refer to it in his dialogue]], too.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Aiden Braxton, Jimmy Peakes]].

* FantasticRacism: One of Lucy's PetPeeveTropes... she's constantly railing against the mistreatment of [[WhatMeasureIsANonhuman nonhumans]] by the wizard establishment.

* FertileFeet: Sakiko.

* FiveManBand
** Jason: TheHero.
** Colin: TheLancer.
** Madeline: TheChick.
** Diop: TheSmartGuy (mixed up a bit with TheBigGuy).
** Kieran: PluckyComicRelief.

* AGodAmI: According to Roland Wainwright (who would know), this is the [[{{BecauseDestinySaysSo}} inevitable fate]] awaiting any [[TabletopGame/{{MagicTheGathering}} Planeswalker]].

* GranolaGirl: Lucy, especially on the SpinOff site.

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler: Rodolphus Lestrange]] and [[spoiler: Fenrir Greyback]]. Considering the site's just getting BloodierAndGorier, we're probably not done seeing this trope yet.
* HeartbrokenBadass: Abel King.

* HeelFaceTurn: For [[{{GoodFeelsGood}} some reason]], many Death Eaters have pulled one of these.
* HellBentForLeather: Taffy Pole and Atreya Mourant are both female examples of this. As of right now there really isn't a male example for [[{{MostWritersAreMale}} some reason]].

* HeroWithBadPublicity: Jason, [[ZeroApprovalGambit intentionally so]].
* HeterosexualLifePartners

* HotTeacher: Most of them, actually.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Walter Zotermeer]].

* JerkAss: Kieran Halcyon (pre-CharacterDevelopment).
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kieran Halcyon (post-CharacterDevelopment).
* KavorkaMan: Mick Phanan. Also Quentin Neros, to some extent.

* KnifeNut: Rupert Wotan, Sashenka Grigorovich, Taffy Pole.
* LampshadeHanging: Because there are some tropers here.

* LittleMissBadass: Xanthe Chapel.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: And then some.

* MemeticBadass

* MindRape: Has happened a couple of times. Resulted in a HeelFaceTurn in Antonin Dolohov's case.
* TheMole
** In one of the better-staged (and better kept under wraps before the fact) [[{{TheReveal}} Reveals]] in the site's history, Aldous Conor turned out to be one of these. Keep in mind, he had been posing as not just any old {{Mook}}, but the ''BigBad''. And after he revealed his true allegiance, he [[{{MagnificentBastard}} got himself appointed Minister of Magic]].

* MoralityPet: Madeline keeps Jason on the right side of the MoralEventHorizon (for the most part anyway). When Madeline is holding the DistressBall, however, it's healthier even for innocent bystanders to [[{{RoaringRampageOfRevenge}} hide in the deepest hole they can find and not make a single sound]].

** Chronologically [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in Cimarron's case, as she was already a rapist before she killed anybody.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero
** Isabella Devincenzi ''thought'' she was killing Ivan Sudeten. Instead, she inadvertently turned him into a vampire, making him [[{{MookPromotion}} much more dangerous]] than he was before.

** Caulfield Julliard does it in traditional {{Jerkass}} fashion instead, except with Ratree "[[{{Mythology Gag}} "She Who Must Not Be Nicknamed]]" Surkhanfa (which is [[{{HypocriticalHumor}} technically a nickname]]).

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Even from [[{{Canon}} J.K. Rowling's]].
* ParentalAbandonment: Several times, including a TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive version on the SpinOff site.

* PowerIncontinence: A side effect of Loreley's amnesia was that she lost control of her [[{{ShapeShifter}} Metamorphmagus]] abilities and started taking on the physical appearance of whoever she met.

* PregnantBadass: Madeline, currently.

* PunnyName: Taffy [[strike:Pull]] Pole.

* RailingKill: Several times in the Azkaban thread.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: Jean-Pierre Morges]] and [[spoiler: Antonin Dolohov]]. [[{{NeverFoundTheBody}} Questionably]] [[spoiler: Lucius Malfoy]] as well.
* RedemptionEqualsSex: Miranda Frost and Aldous Conor. With each other.

* ReligionOfEvil: The Brotherhood of the Light certainly qualify, not only because their goal is to [[{{KillEmAll}} exterminate all magic-users]], but also because they're actually [[spoiler: a front for a world domination plot]].
* TheReveal: Usually done surprisingly well considering the way [[{{SturgeonsLaw}} Sturgeon's Law]] applies to {{Fanon}}. In fact, examples of this trope could be used in defense of the site if anyone ever claims the writing's not good.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Has occurred several times.

** To be fair to Aldous, he [[{{GambitRoulette}} knew the shit was about to hit the fan]], and [[{{TrainingFromHell}} wanted his students to be prepared for it]].

* ShapeshiftingSquick: Cimarron has invented a spell that allows her to [[{{GenderBender}} grow a penis]]. It was originally intended to make sex with women more interesting for both parties, but was later [[SexualHarassmentAndRapeTropes used]] in an [[{{JackBauerInterrogationTechnique}} interrogation]].
* TheShepherd: The [[{{Tropers.Pinata}} guy who plays Jason]] is actually much nicer than his character, and will go out of his way to explain the plot/rules/whatever else to newbies.

* TakeThat
** Literature/HarryPotter (the character more than the series, which is why it's not italicized).
* TalkingToHimself: Since most of the regulars on the site play at least two characters, this happens a ''lot''.
* TimeAbyss: Sakiko.
* TooKinkyToTorture: Atreya Mourant.

* TraumaInducedAmnesia: Loreley had it when she first started getting [[{{BreakTheCutie}} broken]].
* TributeToFido: The character of [[GranolaGirl Lucy Frost]] is named after her creator's cat. As in, the cat's full name... the guy behind the character is actually named Frost in RealLife, so Frost is also the cat's surname.
* TrueCompanions: An [[{{LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters}} excessively large]] example in Dumbledore's Army.

* VomitIndiscretionShot: Lilliana O'Neill, although it was probably [[{{JustifiedTrope}} justified]] seeing as how Slytherin boys were urinating on her at the time.
* WaifProphet: River Applewhite.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Jason. Noah Howerton tries to pass himself off as this in order to [[{{VillainWithGoodPublicity}} get people to like him more]], but he's actually not.

* WorldOfBadass

* EnemyCivilWar: A favorite trope of [[ManipulativeBastard Olivier Morges]], who enjoys turning his fellow Death Eaters against each other to make himself even more useful as a ReverseMole.

* ReverseMole
** In one of the better-staged (and better kept under wraps before the fact) [[{{TheReveal}} Reveals]] in the site's history, Aldous Conor turned out to be one of these. Keep in mind, he had been posing as not just any old {{Mook}}, but the ''BigBad''. And after he revealed his true allegiance, he [[{{MagnificentBastard}} got himself appointed Minister of Magic]].
** Olivier Morges has taken over the position of Reverse Mole since Aldous left the Death Eaters. He's more your classic ManipulativeBastard though, so he probably won't turn out to be as cool as Aldous.

** Just to make sure everyone gets that she's {{Adorkable}}, Jenica Sonsen will lapse into this from time to time as well.

* {{Adorkable}}: Jeffrey Pierman and [[strike: Creator/FeliciaDay]] Jenica Sonsen.

* ChildOfRape: Ivan "Muerte" Sengir, on the SpinOff site, is the product of Cimarron Arriaga's [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique rape during an interrogation]] of Irini Sengir.

* BigGood: Possibly Sakiko, which would likely make her the first ever [[BiTheWay bisexual]] example of this trope.
* BiTheWay: Kai Andrews. Lost her virginity to a guy, wound up with a girl after that, doesn't think either entanglement is really all that big a deal.
** Envy as well, though mostly in subtext.
** Apparently, Sakiko Kanazawa.

* BadassGrandpa: Fred Colton and Valin Halcyon for the good guys, Zev Yorkin and Brent Phanan for the bad guys.
* BadassLongcoat: Roland Wainwright.
* BadassLongrobe: Kelvin Hornbuckle.

* BrainyBrunette: Acacia Webb. Strangely enough, she's also a bit of a HelloNurse (Shiri Appleby for the win!).
