The Rogue and the other witty character love making comments that pass over the innocent one’s head, and that equals even more running jokes. My favourite part about this character is how they manage to put everyone in their place with a few well-picked words. They can kick arse too, but the tongue is the sharpest knife in their arsenal. Yes, they can come off as over-confident at times, but that’s because the Lovable Rogue is experienced.

They’ve earned the right to strut around like an untouchable.īut the Rogue also realises their own weaknesses, which is another reason for their entourage. They know the value of diverse skills, and aren’t afraid of utilising other people’s special abilities.īecause so many hero tropes call for the protagonist to do things by themselves, the Rogue often has to show the protagonist there’s another way. You know, take the I out of team and teach our hero to rely on others for help. 🙂 The Lovable Rogue gets shit doneĪs I said in the opening paragraph, this character isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty to get the plot moving. They look at the world in a way of their own and are often pretty smart, so they see answers to the problem in a unique way.ĭoes the answer they see involve a little theft or murder, or maybe breaking the law in some other way? Probably. Does the protagonist approve? Probably not. Still, whatever the Rogue chooses to do, it means progress. Regardless of their morally questionable choices, we keep rooting for the Rogue because they’re charming and funny, and their plans often come with a big payoff in the end. I really enjoy reading about or watching morally grey characters, since they tend to be more real than perfect protagonists.

This is also probably why I so love the Affably Evil trope. In my opinion at least.ĭo you agree? And what’s your favourite character trope? Let’s chat in the comments.]]] They’re bad, but still people, and fall nicely into the morally grey spectrum. ''Streets of Rogue'' is a real-time on chicken nuggets turns the rewards from random NPC missions on levels into item rewards like main level missions, so you don't feel like you have to pass them up entirely because they're not worth your while once you're not spending nuggets. * ArtisticLicenseChemistry: For some odd reason, you can place anything that's considered a "drug" into an air purifier, and it will suddenly leak as gas throughout the building it was attached to. This can include "sugar", muscly pills, and cigarettes. * AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: A Giantizer pill lets you temporarily turn into one of these, smashing any walls in your path.
