Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.


* BadassBeard: Gaskar starts off with a long white beard. He later shaves it into a BadassMoustache.

-->'''Gaskar:''' Do you not ''know'' who you're talking to. Are you that ''dense?'' Do you know how many wars I've won, how many people I've killed? Carver Stucco is the ''finest killer'' I have ''ever'' known. Can you dig the implications here? Can you ''imagine'' how many killers I've known? ''Everything'' you've heard about her is true. She's cut down legions. I saw her do it. She's infiltrated Corner Prison and the Holy Royal Sanctum and every impregnable vault from Hubble Palace to Lovelyss Core. She could slice your tits off with a bowling ball and cut you so deep you wouldn't know whether to call for Gawd for come in your pants. She could shit darkness in your soul and make you dream a thousand years of hell in a single second. You can't even ''picture'' that shit. She deserted Hubble. She brought down the ''Inquisition''. And she survived ''me''.

* CleanCut: Carver cuts a gang-member's hand clean off and then proceeds to slice his arm into neat segments with an assortment of small knives. [[spoiler:Subverted when it is revealed that the cutting in question was a psychically induced vision to scare the gang-member]]
* CodeName: The Hubble Wraiths seem to have these. Bolivia and Carver are referred to as Heartlyss and Soullyss respectively.



* DarkAndTroubledPast: Bolivia Enzon gets this in spades. The daughter of her mother's rapist, and consequently never truly loved, she was also overshadowed by her genius sister who later turned serial killer. She then joined Hubble Police Force where her warnings of threats were ignored due to her reputation for paranoia, resulting in innocent deaths. At some point she also lost her unborn child while it was still in the womb. Naturally this makes her something of an AntiHero.
* FriendlyEnemy: Carver and Gaskar seem to have this relationship despite their duel that left Carver blind and Gaskar scarred. Gaskar brings Carver out of exile to assist him in rooting out undercover cops and their conversation is very civil, to the point where Carver jokes about how exile has left her enlightened. How authentic this is on the other hand, is debatable.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Carver wears dark goggles over her missing eyes that are implied to provide some form of virtual reality, although the degree of vision they provide is unspecified.
* GoldTooth: Carver takes this up to eleven with her entire top row of front teeth silver and the bottom row gold.



* IHaveManyNames: While many characters have alternate monikers, Carver Stucco stands out the most for being known as: The Knife, Red Shark, Dead Lady C, Our Lady of the Inquisition and Soullyss. Since she lost her eyes she's also occasionally called Dollface in mockery, though rarely in person.



* MadDoctor: Nurse Baby and Doctor Man, the 'Squishy Bandits' are both serial killers with a habit of harvesting organs, but they still think of themselves as medical professionals.
* MoralityKitchenSink: It's hard to place most of the characters in terms of morality, in part because it's hard to say who's actually fighting who, but many of them seem to fall into a grey area. On the more heroic side Anaconda stands out for being innocently optimistic about pretty much everything and Sassy Lockhart is a hard-working manager who just wants Carrier 9 to run smoothly. On the villainous end we have Gaskar and his gangs of mercenaries.
* NeckLift: Gaskar performs one on Doreen when she insults Carver. Somewhat more believable in that Doreen is a good head and a half shorter than Gaskar and far slimmer.



* SerialKiller: Baby and Man.
* SinisterScythe: Those who have read Lovelyss will recognise Gaskar by his scythe in a flashback scene.



* SinisterScythe: Those who have read Lovelyss will recognise Gaskar by his scythe in a flashback scene.

to:

* SinisterScythe: Those who have read Lovelyss will recognise Gaskar by his scythe in a flashback scene.SpacePirates: Security Chief Klass was an infamous space pirate before he found God.
* TattooAsCharacterType: Apart from her face, Carver is covered from at least the waist up with overlapping tattoos. She even has one on the inside of her lower lip.



* UnproblematicProstitution: This is Anaconda's view on her previous job as a prostitute in working in military camps. Justified in that she is an android who doesn't need to eat or sleep, is supposedly immune to all diseases and was working there because she chose to. Her enthusiasm for the job surprises several other characters.

* XMarksTheHero: Inverted with Gaskar who sports a deep X-shaped scar on his bald forehead. Although the extent to which he is a villain is ambiguous, he's certainly no hero.

Added Lovesyck as a work

Added DiffLines:

''[[http://www.lovesyck.com/comics/lovesyck/ Lovesyck]]'' is an ongoing webcomic by Alexis Flower that serves as a prequel to ''{{Webcomic/Lovelyss}}''. Most of the webcomic takes place aboard Carrier 9, a rundown clubship inhabited by party-goers, criminals and undercover police caught up in political intrigues and gang warfare. And things are only getting more complicated.

Legendary assassin Carver Stucco returns from exile, Nurse Baby and Doctor Man - organ-snatching terrorists and mass murderers - are on the loose again and the infamous war-hero Gaskar the Guts has plans for Carrier 9. Manager Sassy Lockhart has her hands full keeping the club running with the help of ex-pirate captain Klass and Anaconda Bridges, a three year old android while Detective Bolivia Enzon is sent to track down Baby and Man.

!!Lovesyck contains examples of:

*CoolestClubEver: Carrier 9
*Cyberpunk: Carrier 9's gritty, neon-soaked atmosphere.
*HardboiledDetective: Bolivia Enzon plays this trope straight, even wearing a trench coat when she arrives on Carrier 9.
*HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Attributed InUniverse to Carver after her exile by many characters, although not all agree with this assessment.
*KnifeNut: Appropriately, Carver "The Knife" Stucco is this trope.
*LivingLegend: Carver Stucco is widely known as one of the greatest killers alive.
*NeverBringAGunToAKnifeFight: A gang member finds this out the hard way when he pulls a gun on Carver. [[spoiler:Possibly subverted as it is revealed shortly afterwards that Carver had been psychically manipulating his perception of the fight.]]
*TheParanoiac: Detective Enzon was seen as this in-universe by the Hubble Police Department who nicknamed her "Paranoia Enzon" behind her back. When it turned out she was right they took her off active duty on account of being 'Post-traumatic'.
*PoliceAreUseless: How Bolivia sees the rest of Hubble Police Force due to their dismissal of her warnings leading to innocents dying.
*SmokingIsCool: Carver is usually seen with a cigarette in hand.
*SinisterScythe: Those who have read Lovelyss will recognise Gaskar by his scythe in a flashback scene.
*UndercoverCopReveal: One of the club security guards pulls this when explaining to Anaconda why he has to hide from Carver. Anaconda then points out that revealing this to a person he barely knows is probably not the best police procedure.
*UnproblematicProstitution: This is Anaconda's view on her previous job as a prostitute in working in military camps. Justified in that she is an android who doesn't need to eat or sleep, is supposedly immune to all diseases and was working there because she chose to. Her enthusiasm for the job surprises several other characters.
