Whirlwind Reyes/Tropes

This page is filled with the Tropes that fit Whirlwind.

Character Tropes

 * Badass : Look at the Expy trope below. You can run now.
 * Berserk Button: Whirlwind has quite a few of them, even in the Darkness Trigger series.
 * Unstoppable Rage: He's VERY prone to this if you press any of them; moreso in the Wake Against Destiny trilogy.
 * Defrosting Ice King: Whirlwind starts off in Dawn of Destruction as cold, anti-social and distant. After certain events, his reasons are understandable (and breaks down from all the pain he suppressed). Hell, he's opened up more in his subsequent appearances.
 * Character Development: This also counts.
 * Expy : Edward Elric sans alchemy and red coat plus HUGE Jerk*ss Facade.
 * Jerk*ss: Whirlwind is full of this in Dawn of Destruction.
 * Jerk*ss Facade : The main reason he's such an *ss to everyone is because that if he gets too close, he'll no doubt lose them to the Black Myriad sooner or later.
 * Person of Mass Destruction : Averted, as his ability to manipulate Chaos Energy isn't actually his. It belongs to the Wildfire Monarch, Abyss the Infernal, which brings us to...
 * Dead All Along : As it turns out, Whirlwind wasn't actually alive as himself for majority of the Wake Against Destiny trilogy, but possessed by Abyss, the source of his tremendous power. When the Wildfire Monarch awakens, Whirlwind is unable to stop it and dies in the process.
 * Back from the Dead : Whirlwind passes the Trial of Moirai, allowing him to return to Mobius and kick Abyss' *ss back to hellhole he belongs.

Equipment Tropes

 * Power Fist: Subverted in the Darkness Trigger series, as he dons a pair of gauntlets, the Typhoon Breakers, in his first playable appearance, but still uses his fists in physical combat.
 * An Axe to Grind : The Wrath Berserker.
 * Blade on a Stick : The Hellion Fang.
 * Dual Wielding : The twin blades, Caelum and Infernum.

Trivia Tropes

 * Hey, It's That Voice! : Anyone care to explain why Kaidan decided to become a hedgehog who is a Brigadier General in GUN? (Whirlwind is not voiced in the WAD trilogy, as that's a fanfic.)
 * Write Who You Know : Some of Whirlwind's traits are based on myself.
 * Named After Somebody Famous : Whirlwind's surname, Mason, is shared with Alex Mason, the protagonist of Call of Duty: Black Ops. (Hey, it's the only CoD game I've played, okay? ...Even then, I played only in multiplayer...)
