Veronica/Tropes

The tropes of the video game franchise Veronica.

Tropes

 * Action Girl: They don't call Kisha "the fierce" for nothing...
 * All According to Plan: Atlas is finally captured in Veronica III and a few guards take the time to gloat, saying he lost. His response? "did I?"
 * All Love is Unrequited: Queen Mika.
 * Ambiguously Gay: During a particularly odd side quest, Red crossdresses and meets Blue, who has no idea it's him and, upon finding out it's him, says he "looks good."
 * Beautiful All Along:  While his face is never seen in full view, from what can be seen, Red is a fairly good-looking gentleman. And people who have seen his face confirm this.
 * Big Bad: The Unspeakable One.
 * Companion Cube: Red constantly talks to his ship. It's a common joke that he doesn't want to marry Queen Mika because he's already married to Veronica.
 * Cosmic Horror Reveal: After The Unspeakable One's reveal, they become the new main antagonist... mostly due to it being very hard to top them.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Red is borderline inept, but he becomes a true monster in a fight.
 * Dark Mistress: Athena to Zeus.
 * Darker and Edgier: Veronica III intentionally had a darker story than the previous games due to the fact it was meant to be the end of the original series.
 * Fallen Hero: Atlas was a good guy. Emphasis on was.
 * Faking the Dead: In Veronica III, Red faked his death in an attempt to gain the upper hand on The Unspeakable One.
 * Greed: Jackal T. Jackal has this.
 * Manipulative Bastard: Atlas.
 * Share Phrase: "V for Victory!"
 * Ship Tease: In a series with so many love interests, this happens quite a bit.
 * Yellow's crush on Red gets a little weird at times. During Veronica III, she's even embarrassed at having to give him CPR.
 * Despite trying to avoid her a lot of the time, Red does sometimes show some interest in Mika.
 * Kisha's respect for Red's fighting sometimes seems like it's a bit more than just respect...
 * Space Is an Ocean: Pirates, references to Davey Jones' Locker, and fish-like aliens flying around it. Space in this world is pretty much just another word for "ocean."
 * Terror Hero: Unintentionally. Due to the many rumors about Red that have built up over the years, most criminals cower in fear when he passively looks at them.
