Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Designated Hero: Carrera, who's methods are rather questionable, is supposed to be the protagonist.
Arguably more of an Anti-Hero - while his methods are often horrific and his motivations are as much personal revenge as they are any desire to serve and protect, Carrera still is fighting only the villains (who are thoroughly horrible and without redeeming feature) and not harming any of the good people. Much. Although since the author clearly believes that Carrera doesn't have much 'anti' in his 'hero', he is also mixed in with this trope.
Moral Event Horizon: Both Carrera and Fernandez believe themselves to have crossed this line too much to hope for redemption. For some readers, Carrera crossed it as early as the end of the fifth chapter.
So Bad It's Good: With questionable writing, unimaginative worldbuilding, and over the top characters, some see the novel as rather entertaining.
What an Idiot!: The general modus operandi for the Salafi Ikhwan. Mustafa later becomes Dangerously Genre Savvy, but by then it's too little, too late.
