TV TROPES MEME
For those who didn't know, we have an actual page this-a-way.
But anyway-

1. Comment with each of your characters and tropes you think fit them.
2. Others reply with tropes they think fit your character.
3. Go forth and reply to others.
4. We all waste the rest of the day/evening/forever on that website.

this meme blatantly stolen from route_29

FOR THE GAME/PLOTS AS A WHOLE

Because hey, the page could use fleshing out.

Ashley

[brbvirmire]

See here, she hasn't had long enough in Sing for me to have much to add.

Other than possibly Memetic Outfit, with the amount of cracks we make about dat armor.

There's probably some that could apply to the awkwardness that is coming to Sing to meet a Shepard that not only never dated her (or whatever word works here) but left her to die. I can't think of it right now though.

Chellbot

[rebuildscience]

Here's canon Chell's character sheet. Obviously Overdrawn at the Blood Bank no longer applies since she doesn't have blood.

Additional tropes from the AU + Sing experiences...
Ridiculously Human Robot
Robotic Reveal: Usually involving either someone noticing her glowing eyes, or her opening up her arm panels to prove there's wires in there. That video she posted where she was first revived was one of these being pulled on herself, basically.
Unusual User Interface: Datajack version. Those cables in her arms and ports on her back were for linking up to Aperture machines, mostly for repairs/programming tweaks.
Mismatched Eyes: This trope will always be boatlights to me. ;_; Anyway, my headcanon is that ever since the black rock event, her eye lights have been blue (which both were, originally) in one eye and orange in the one that was damaged. No reason, other than it being cool.

There'll be more, this is one of those moments when I wish I had an edit button.

Re: Chellbot

[rebuildscience]

all lowercase letters: when typing. I went with this to mimic Liana's Chell.
Anime Anatomy: GLaDOS didn't see a point in adding that.
Brain Uploading: How she became a robot.
Electronic Speech Impediment: When damaged, her voice becomes staticy and she develops a stutter. (The "stutter" in her text posts was just her having trouble typing.)
** ComputerVoice: She sounds much like, well, herself normally, but with a tendency towards monotone, and that synthesized quality GLaDOS has.
For Science: She doesn't care so much about getting out of here; she's interested in the teleporters because it's a puzzle to solve. Well, that and she's concerned that they might teleport her into the vacuum of space one of these days.
* No Social Skills: I feel like I'm not getting this across very well.
* Robo Speak stock phrases ("no data available...")
* Sanity Slippage: "i understand now. this is a test :)" I kind of want her to go a little nuts sometime even without the black rock damage. AI in the Portal universe isn't exactly reliable, after all.
* Stockholm Syndrome: let's just say her thoughts on GLaDOS are complicated.
* Terse Talker
* Why Did It Have To Be Space: She's fine with being inside a giant space station, though, as long as the airlocks stay closed. It's actually ending up out there that she's scared of.
Incidentally, she'd be really bothered by being on a shuttle to Asphodel. A lot less between you and the void than when you're on Sacrosanct. So obviously that needs to happen someday.

BARRICADE

[namesnotprowl]

Dangerously Genre Savvy but mostly for laughs because he's seen his own movie for pity's sake.
Also the Token Evil Teammate to the roboty Transformers.
Used to be a sweet kid and even had a best friend and later a Significant Other, though a combination of guilt from Letting Gwen Stacy Die and a Bad Boss led to his current Mistreatment Induced Betrayal.
Cables that could be Naughty Tentacles if he didn't Have Standards.

[parasomnist.livejournal.com]

Dream Land (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DreamLand) This exists in Alex's universe, and her presence semi-creates one in Sing (at least, when she gets involved). Interesting in that in her own universe, it's the Dreaming which is more "real" than reality, and reality which is a construct.
Dream Weaver (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DreamWeaver) her main power, except she's actually a

[circuitry]

Chell
Amnesiac Hero - I originally went with this to explain the lack of backstory in the first game and to allow me some canon updating wiggle room if we ever found out anything about her in the sequel. There's nothing quite like having an elaborate headcanon past get completely jossed. We all know how that turned out.

-- RELATED META TROPE: Hilarious in Hindsight - The explanation for her amnesia? Something went wrong when she was sleeping in the Relaxation Vault, essentially giving her brain damage.

Terezi
Tron Lines - THANKS FOR NOTHING ROBOBITCH
Shipper on Deck - Abraxas♠Anon OTP

Short Distance Texting- They are the best cloneroomies.

whoops I forgot to mention amnesia on mine, although in chellbot's case it's because GLaDOS erased those memories.

RAIMI MATTHEWS

Yes. Even though I already have a list of TV tropes for Raimi, just... YES.
