Alex Edurus/Tropes

These are all the Tropes for Alex Edurus.

Character Tropes

 * Anti-Hero: He is usually the Pragmatic Hero of the main trio, though there are occasions where he does act like a Unscrupulous Hero. He's firmly on the side of good, but is a very arrogant, cynical, brash, and sometimes short-tempered troublemaker with a handful of moments of kindness and compassion.


 * Berserk Button: Alex has some things that make him angry or annoyed by default.
 * Don't mess with his friends or loved ones.
 * Don't EVER call him "Snake-bite".
 * While he doesn't mind constructive criticism, don't insult his cooking skills for no reason.


 * Big Brother Instinct: He's this towards his friends and loved ones and does have a soft spot for Sid's little sister, Rana, but like his feelings and insecurities, he doesn’t want to admit it.


 * Brilliant, but Lazy: As seen in Hidden Depths, despite not putting in much effort into his academics, he's much more competent, street-wise, and quick-witted than he seems, especially when it comes to cooking.


 * Bruiser With A Soft Center: Alex has a very tough, sarcastic, and action-loving attitude, but he also has a softer and more good-natured side to him underneath, especially towards his friends.


 * Deadpan Snarker: Alex has a very cynical, brash, and sarcastic attitude. This can be done for either laughs, drama, or both. He got this from one of his older siblings.


 * Fatal Flaw:
 * Arrogance: He usually thinks very highly of himself and gets offended when the contrary happens.
 * Cynicism: Usually the most jaded and cynical out of his friends. He does get called out by them, though.
 * Distrust: He usually has a hard time trusting others that he views as suspicious, except his friends and loved ones. This is especially shown in his interactions with Mike Brawler and his gang.
 * Laziness: Alex barely puts in any effort in his academics and chores, except for cooking and training.
 * Constant remembering of one's misdeeds: Deep down, he hates himself for both being the cause of his mother's death during his birth and his actions towards others for being an arrogant, cynical, and sarcastic jerk.


 * Good Is Not Nice: Alex is one of the main heroes in the series and he does have his kind-hearted and compassionate moments, but he's still the rudest, most action-oriented, most cynical, most arrogant, and most short-tempered at times.


 * Hidden Depths:
 * Despite not putting much effort in his academics, he is more competent, street-wise, and quick-witted than he seems, especially when it comes to cooking.
 * Deep down, he hates himself for acting like an arrogant jerk, but thinks it's necessary in order for people to like him and think that he's cool and deserving of love, as well as to numb the emotional pain that he endured during his childhood.


 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Alex is a cynical, sarcastic, sometimes short-tempered, brash, and ill-mannered attitude. He hates boredom and having to show or share his feelings. That being said, he also has a strong sense of loyalty and a good natured heart deep down. He cares deeply about his friends and loved ones and will do whatever it takes to protect them from any harm. He's also quick to see the error of his ways when his attitude goes too far.


 * Nice, Mean, and Inbetween: Usually Mean. He does have the most attitude out of the trio, though he does have moments of kindness and compassion.


 * Pet the Dog: In spite of his attitude, Alex does have moments of compassion and kindness.
 * He once stood up for Sid against the bullies when they were younger, despite barely knowing him before. This is because he doesn't want others to face the same horrible turmoil that he faced when it came to bullies, especially from his older siblings.
 * After learning that Clover was being bullied as well, he began to feel sympathy towards her despite their differences and constant arguing and even apologized to her for it, albeit a bit reluctantly.
 * During the cold opening of Sid's New Beginning, he does apologize to Sid for yelling at him while he was under grief. It was because he couldn't stand to see him like that since he's one of his closest friends.


 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red Oni to both Sid and Clover's Blue Oni.


 * Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Manly Man to Sid's Sensitive Guy.
