* CausticCritic

* TheMeanBrit - Once in a while.

* PlayedForLaughs - ''Everything I do''. I'm that sort of guy. Making light of everything and anything is the only thing that keeps me sane.

* TheSnarkKnight - me at my best.

* TheSmartGuy - of my social circle. I'm probably the most cultured and knowledgeable of our little crew, although this doesn't mean I get the best grades.
* TheStoic - Most of the time.

A simple man of simple tastes. Sixteen-year-old male English DeadpanSnarker firmly entrenched in CloudCuckooLand, with tendencies of TheStoic, currently attending Sixth Form where I'm studying AS Level English Language/Literature, History, Biology and Film Studies. Turns up as either an INTJ or an INFJ via the Myers-Briggs personality test. Interested in psychology, philosophy, politics, history, science and a prolific reader. Can and will dance if I want to.

* BrilliantButLazy - My ''arse''. I've been told I'm this, but I'm pretty sure I'm just lazy, quick-witted and well-read. Hardly "brilliant". Why am I lazy? Because I'm usually busy reading or philosophising. Why do I seem brilliant? I just told you.

* ChaoticGood - I have certain inflexible morals and principles. I try and be polite to people and am generally well-meaning. I also have a [[VForVendetta V]] mask. [[WeAreLegion I wear it outside sometimes.]] [[ImageBoards Go figure.]]

* DitzyGenius - As discussed above, people ''think'' I'm smart. Some days I can agree with them, [[TooDumbToLive others...]]

* InsufferableGenius - Definitely not a genius, but certainly insufferable at times and smart. [[OverlyLongGag Ish]].

* TheSmartGuy - of my social circle. Not to say I get the best grades - I hang around with some very smart people, I just compose myself in a very particular way and have a more rational approach to most things than my buddies.

* BerserkButton - Make any sort of bigoted remark in earshot of me. Homophobic, sexist, racist, name your game. I [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] ''dare'' you.

* BuffySpeak - lapses into this occasionally

* ChaoticNeutral - See ItAmusedMe, below. Sometimes lapse into ChaoticGood or NeutralEvil, but CN does allow a lot of wiggle room.

* DopeSlap - Signature move.
* EvilBrit - Seem like it, anyway. Play it up, even...

* LargeHam - when I really loosen up or get carried away, I turn into this quite quickly.

* NotAMorningPerson

* NotSoStoic - When people actually coax me out of my shell.

* SophisticatedAsHell - {{Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness}}, BuffySpeak and ClusterFBomb on the same page.

* TheSmartGuy - of my social circle.

A simple man of simple tastes. Sixteen-year-old male English DeadpanSnarker CloudCuckooLander with tendencies of TheStoic, mainly out of social awkwardness.

And by that I mean the movie versions of both. Translated. Yeah, that's pretty much it.

* GeekyAndProud - Surprised?

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold - Most of the time.

* PsychoticSmirk - Breaks them out frequently.

* BiTheWay - With a strong preference for the womenfolk. I honestly don't find men that attractive, physically, but emotionally I think it could go deeper than platonic.

* ChivalrousPervert - I'm the first guy who points out the ''[[ZeroPunctuation stonking great tits]]'' on the bird across the street to my mates. In a hushed tone. Anything louder at the hands of my friends will result in a DeathGlare.

* DoggedNiceGuy - An inadvisable strategy. Particularly if you're trying to get someone ''back''.

* TheFatalist
* Geek - Surprised?

* HypocrticialHumor
* JerkAss - In my worst moments.

* TheMeanBrit

* NotSoStoic
* PlayedForLaughs - ''Everything I do''. I'm that sort of guy.

Sixteen-year-old English troper with tendencies toward {{Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness}}, {{Deadpan Snarker}}y and {{Sophisticated As Hell}}-itus. Has enough symptoms of Asperger syndrome to have been clinically tested for it twice at his parents' behest and turned out to be clear both times.

Marked fan of {{Doctor Who}}, {{Stargate Atlantis}} and *sniff* {{Firefly}}. Is of the belief that the best games ever made are in a three-way tie between {{Planescape Torment}}, {{Half-Life}} 2 and {{Mass Effect}} 2.

I'm a mod over on TheWastes, a ''Fallout'' roleplaying board, where I'm known as Solbur.

* ChivalrousPervert - I'm the first guy who points out the ''[[ZeroPunctuation stonking great tits]]'' on the bird across the street to my mates. I am also principled, possibly feminist, will clip you round the ear if you wolf-whistle.

* ClusterFBomb - Lives and breathes foul language. In person, anyway.

* DitzyGenius - As discussed above, people ''think''I'm smart. Some days I can agree with them, [[TooDumbToLive others...]]
* DoggedNiceGuy - This does not work, people. Ever.

Has never started a trope page, but has contribute to ''many''.

Tropes that apply to Kebab:

* BerserkButton - Make any sort of bigoted remark in earshot of me. I [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] ''dare'' you.

* PlayedForLaughs - ''Everything I do''.

* LargeHam

* ChivalrousPervert - I'm the first guy who points out the ''[[Zero Punctuation stonking great tits]]'' on the bird across the street to my mates. I am also principled, possibly feminist, will clip you round the ear if you wolf-whistle.
* {{Cloudcoocoolander}}

Fifteen-year-old British {{Nietzche Wannabe}} with tendencies toward {{Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness}}, {{Deadpan Snarker}}y and {{Sophisticated As Hell}}-itus. A few of his friends postulate he has Asperger syndrome, but having been clinically tested for it and disproved, he is sceptical.
