History Tropers / Clockwork_Heart

(Note:

Hello there, Clockwork_Heart here. Please, make no jokes about me being 'Easy to wind up' due to the name.

I have dabbled in writing fanfiction, though I haven't been able to fully finish one so far. Currently working on a number of different fic ideas, trying to find which one to concentrate on. I'm also a pretty avid 40k tabletop gamer, with a focus on the Adeptus Mechanicus.

[[folder: Favoured Works]]
'''Video Games''':
* Franchise.Pokemon - Brought Diamond and Pearl, found one had been hacked (At least one of every Pokemon in the 'dex, all of 'em shiny.), and started playing from there. I've gone from Diamond to Soul Silver to ORAS, and still I carry on playing.
* [[VideoGame.TeamFortress2 Team Fortress 2]]
* [[VideoGame.DawnOfWar Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/Minecraft Minecraft]]: Grew up playing this. Still remember how I accidentally lost my first and greatest Creative Mode world.
* [[VideoGame.VisceraCleanupDetail Viscera Cleanup Detail]]: Black comedy abounds, especially with friends.
* [[VideoGame.SlimeRancher SlimeRancher]]:

'''Music'''
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/Alestorm Alestorm]]: Pirates + Metal + Copious Amounts of Swearing = AWESOME!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVuv5iaVR55QXIc_BHQLakA Waterflame]]: 'Field of Memories' in particular.
* Pretty much any Nightcore music, though it depends on the original song.
* Most of Star Wars: The Clone Wars' OST, but particularly [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TK6wgxJubNc&list=PLIHG1GbK9go3HGGe0cdUZEueuncKaLgRS&index=10&t=0s Ion Cannon]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlMDgByQCy4&list=PLIHG1GbK9go3HGGe0cdUZEueuncKaLgRS&index=32 Through the Asteriods]], and a few other tracks.

[[folder: Tropes I Think Describe Me]]

* [[ActualPacifist Actual Pacifist]]: Downplayed. I prefer to keep out of conflict with others, but I'm willing to fight if there is absolutely no other option.
* [[AttentionWhore Attention Whore]]: Defied. I prefer not to draw attention to myself.
* [[BerserkButton Berserk Button]]:
** Hypocrisy.
** Bullying or mocking a person because they have a mental/developmental disorder.
* [[BigEater Big Eater]]: Though I maintain an average build.
* [[BlueOni Blue Oni]]: Some call me this.
* [[CharacterTics Character Tic]]: I tend to pick my nails when nervous, or emotional.
* [[DeadpanSnarker Deadpan Snarker]]: Occasionally. Happens more frequently when I'm tired, irritable or speaking to someone I particularly dislike.
* [[NoSocialSkills No Social Skills]]: I don't get on very well in social situations.
* [[IHatePastMe I Hate Past Me]]: I tend to get embarrassed and defensive when I am reminded of (or independently remember) something silly, embarrassing or otherwise unpleasant that I said or did in the past.
* [[TheQuietOne The Quiet One]]: Most of the time.
* [[TheStoic The Stoic]]: I prefer not to show much emotion.

I am currently a student in Sixth form, studying for three A-Levels and learning to drive. If I drop off in activity, they're likely the reason.

!Roleplay Character Tropes
[[folder: The Four Behemoths]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pjimage_24.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[https://imgur.com/a/MsEH7zT Behemoths as much as Brothers.]]]]
The Bosses of the iOS game 'Death Dome'. They're basically bio-mechanical creatures dozens of meters tall, but little else is known of them due to the game's [[ExcusePlot plot]].
----
* [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever Attack Of The Fifty Foot Whatever]]: All four are '''big'''. At minimum, they're the size of high rise buildings, as the game makes it difficult to get an exact size.
* [[AnticlimaxBoss Anti-Climax Boss]]: [[spoiler: Ahuizotl is actually ''weaker'' than Nidhogg, despite being the [[BonusBoss Bonus Boss]] of the [[CircusOfFear Dark]] [[AmusementParkOfDoom Carnival]]. This may be due to the difficulty of Nidhogg, and due to the player having end-game gear.]]
* [[AxCrazy Ax-Crazy]]: Akhetaten is implied to be this: his attacks are erratic, he constantly twitches through the battle, and he generally acts the most unhinged out of the Behemoths. In RP, translates mostly to unpredictability and a tendency to swing rapidly in moods.
* {{BFS}}/{{BFG}}: Akhetaten and Niddhog both sport large arm-blades; all four can fire missiles or other projectiles from in-built weapons.
* [[BigEater Big Eater]]: Chernabog makes his entrance by eating some poor {{Mook}}. Hell, he even eats [[PlayerCharacter Phoenix]] as part of his fight's [[FinishingMove Brutal Finish]]! [[spoiler: Phoenix answers by pulling a [[ChestBurster Chest Burster]] on him, tearing her way out through his chest and putting him down for good.]] RP-wise, he's still sore over that - [[BlatantLies likes to claim she gave him]] [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth indigestion]], rather than her winning.
* [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist By His Own Petard]]/[[DeathByIrony Death By Irony]]:
** Chernabog eats the player at the end of his battle. [[spoiler: Phoenix kills him by tearing out through his chest.]]
** Nidhogg tries to finish Phoenix off with one of its blades. [[spoiler: It gets parried into its face, killing him.]]
* [[LargeRunt Large Runt]]: [[StarterVillain Grendel]] is the weakest of the Behemoths, to the point where you're almost guaranteed to beat him. He's still massively powerful by human standards, to the point where Phoenix needs to be powered up temporarily by the [[ViralTransformation M-Virus]] to fight him on even terms.
* [[MeaningfulName Meaningful Name]]:
** [[StarterVillain Grendel]] is easily defeated by the hero, and acts as a stgepping stone for more powerful challenges and greater in-game fame.
** [[AxCrazy Akhetaten]] is utterly bloody nuts, and is considered as much by his brothers, but utilises a radically different fighting style to what the player expects so far - appropriate, considering he is named after an unconventional ruler.
** [[BigEater Chern]][[VillainousGlutton abog]] seems the most pointlessly malevolent of the Behemoths, and is named for a god often interpreted as evil or demonic.
** [[FinalBoss Nid]][[ThatOneBoss hogg]] is named for the Norse dragon seen as Ragnarok arrives/ends; fittingly, it is encountered as the final boss.
** [[spoiler: [[BonusBoss Ahuizotl]] has a group of spiky tentacles on her back, much like the spikes of her namesake creature.]]
* [[NoodleIncident Noodle Incident]]: Exactly ''why'' the main four won't go into the Dark Carnival is something they don't discuss.
* [[ThemeNaming Theme Naming]]: Grendel, [[Myth/SlavicMythology Chernabog]], [[Myth/NorseMythology Nidhogg]] and... [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Akhetaten]].
* [[ThatOneBoss That One Boss]]: '''Nidhogg'''. It frequently feints and misleads when attacking (crucial, in a game based around recognising patterns of attack), your attacks do [[ScratchDamage Scratch Damage]], and even with the highest non-premium gear his attacks are either [[OneHitKill One Hit Kills]] or near enough to be so. Needless to say, you're going to die a lot against it. [[spoiler: Unless you spam [[HeroicSecondWind revives]], which exponentially increases your power at the cost of premium currency]].
* [[TheQuietOne The Quiet One]]: Nidhogg is explicitly called 'Reclusive', so don't expect it to say much.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[https://imgur.com/a/13z3c0a We are Legion, and our name is many.]]]]
A boss from the now-defunct Facebook game [[ZombieApocalypse The Last One]]. Looks bloody horrifying.
----
* [[TheAssimilator The Assimilator]]: Grows by assimilating other zombies and humans. [[spoiler: Does so to find company, as it still remembers human life and desires to relive it.]]
* [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever Attack Of The Fifty Foot Whatever]]: He's around the size of a subway car.
* [[BodyHorror Body Horror]]:
** Its spine and ribs jut from its back, while its hands are comprised of two half-consumed upper bodies. Multiple eyes, multiple heads, what looks like multiple limbs jut from the body at all angles, accompanied by a load of [[CombatTentacles tentacles]] with bony spikes on them, and it looks to have a tongue growing out of a second mouth on its cheek. What look like numerous holes in its body are present, and it looks like its nothing but muscle - no skin, just a flayed mass of fused bodies charging towards you. '''This used to be human''', mind you.
* [[CombatTentacles Combat Tentacles]]: Fights partly via the use of its tentacles and barbed tongue.
* [[TheDeadHaveEyes The Dead Have Eyes]]: And far too many of them, I'd say.
* [[NightOfTheLivingMooks Night of the Living Mooks]]: Can control the zombies inside his subway territories. [[spoiler: Uses them for company, despite them being brain-dead, due to feeling rather lonely.]]
* [[PlagueZombie Plague Zombie]]: Created by a zombie virus, implied to be able to transmit it.
* [[TheUnintelligible The Unintelligible]]: Can't really speak clearly.

The Bosses of the iOS game 'Death Dome'. They're basically bio-mechanical creatures dozens of meters tall, but little else is known of them due to the game's [[ExcusePlot plot]]. May or may not have a fifth sibling/member.

* [[AxCrazy Ax-Crazy]]: Akhetaten is implied to be this: his attacks are erratic, he constantly twitches through the battle, and he generally acts the most unhinged out of the Behemoths.

* [[BigEater Big Eater]]: Chernabog makes his entrance by eating some poor {{Mook}}. Hell, he even eats [[PlayerCharacter Phoenix]] as part of his fight's [[FinishingMove Brutal Finish]]! [[spoiler: Phoenix answers by pulling a [[ChestBurster Chest Burster]] on him, tearing her way out through his chest and putting him down for good.]]

A user that tends to be seen on Forum Games more than anywhere else. Feels quite new, even after a year or so.

Notable for having a love for [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Warhammer 40K]] avatars - aside from a few, all of this troper's avatars are from this franchise. Noted inclination to more 'mechanical' avatars, with a slight biological part.

Hello. On this site, I go by the name Clockwork_Heart, but I vary my names on other sites. I live in that one country where [[QuintessentialBritishGentleman everyone drinks tea while wearing monocles and top hats]] (A.K.A Britain). My avatars tend to be from Warhammer 40K, mainly because I like the art style and backgrounds.

I tend to favour reading over physically watching something (That said, I am partial to online videos), and sometimes write small, brief pieces of fiction that never end up finished. Quite good at writing a setting, an environment, or a concept of a group, but utterly crap at character dialogue and personality creation. I frequent the Forum Games, and occasionally edit Trope pages.

As the name may imply, I quite like [[ClockPunk Clock Punk]], though I have a similar affection for [[CyberPunk Cyberpunk]] and the other [[PunkPunk Punks]], though less so for some of the Punks. I also like works involving alternate histories, or [[ForWantOfANail For Want Of A Nail]].




!!Tropes Describing Me:

* [[TheStoic The Stoic]]: I prefer not to show much emotion.

My opinion on this site is divided at the moment.

I tend not to say much - IRL or Online, unless prompted/unless I need to.

I tend to anonymously frequent 1d4chan - if nothing else, the articles there are hilarious, and were actually what first introduced me to WH 40K.

** Hypocrisy, being mocked repeatedly, insulting/threatening my younger brother and being humiliated in public (or before a group) are the top ones.
** Bullying or making fun of a person because they have a mental/developmental disorder.

* [[BlueOni Blue Oni]]: Compared to much of my year group.
* [[BrutalHonesty Brutal Honesty]]: I don't tell lies, as they are invariably discovered to be false. The knowledge of my grandfather's (Well, only in name - I refuse to associate him with my family) actions certainly played a role in this.

* [[NoSocialSkills No Social Skills]]: I don't get on very well in social situations. It is (as far as I can tell) a result of my Autism - Asperger's Syndrome, according to the diagnosis.
* [[IHatePastMe I Hate Past Me]]: I tend to get embarrassed and defensive when I am reminded of, or independently remember, something silly, embarrassing or otherwise unpleasant that I said or did in the past.

* [[ActualPacifist Actual Pacifist]]: Downplayed. I prefer to keep out of conflict with others, but I'm willing to fight if there is absolutely no other option.
* [[AttentionWhore Attention Whore]]: Defied. I prefer not to draw attention to myself.

Whelp, welcome to the Madhouse, before it spontaneously combusts, explodes, and dies screaming. I tend not to speak much IRL, unless I need to. Interests in media are rather varied, and I greatly enjoy Science of all forms.
