I can’t believe that I never tried to use TVTropes as a resource
for my stories before! I found several tropes that I have thought of before,
but I would really like to expand on in my stories. I like learning the “official”
names of these ideas.
o
Generally involves a climactic battle between the
hero/heroine and the final boss
o
The hero/heroine may be severely injured in the
battle and may appear to be on the verge of death or defeat
o
Sometimes the hero/heroine’s family is there to
witness their devastating defeat, which contributes to the hero/heroine’s despair
o
Something contributes to the hero/heroine’s power
up and there is no doubt that he/she will defeat the bad guy despite severe
injuries
o
Another way to do this trope:
§
Your cause is so important that you have no
choice to refuse
·
An example of a cause is that a loved one is in
danger
o
I would like to try to write a story involving a
hero/heroine that is battling a formidable adversary that he/she knows she has
no chance of defeating just to protect a loved one. There would probably be a plot
twist that the hero/heroine has some hidden power that allows them to defeat
the adversary, but such a power would come at a price, which leads to another
trope
o
In this trope, the fight is not in favor of the hero/heroine
o
There is something that triggers the activation
of a massive hidden power that allows him/her the strength/power to fight back
again, except this time he/she is stronger
o
The power, however, changes the hero/heroine
o
I would like to play around with this trope by
having a hero/heroine tap into that power, which would ultimately cause him/her
lose control and just go berserk and decimate the enemy
o
An alternative idea I have for the super-powered
evil side is unstoppable rage that powers the hero/heroine and grants him/her
the power to defeat the enemy
o
Once you make the hero/heroine furious, the rage
will generally make them unstoppable

Those are just a couple of my favorite tropes!
