TROPE LIST

axemeaquestion — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 08:01:34 GMT

• All Girls Want Bad Boys - The biggest ships involving her in the fandom are either with Francis or Nick.
• An Axe To Grind - Her weapon of choice. Axe her question indeed.
• Baby Got Back
• Badass Normal - Necessary personality trait for all Left 4 Dead survivors.
• Call Back - The "big name news station" Rochelle worked for was Eyewitness 10 News. A couple of vans belonging to that news station can be seen in the first game's campaign Death Toll. And like the others in the sequel, she also shares lines with the first game's survivors, from the Church Guy's "better safe than sorry" mention to exclaiming Bill's "mother of mercy"s.
• Cargo Ship - Listen to her when she picks up a magnum. Or marvelling over any gun, for that matter. "I am in LOVE with this gun!"
• Chainsaw Good - Her reaction to picking up one.
• Cool Big Sis - At least to Ellis.
• The Chick - Of the sequel's crew.
• Closer to Earth - Regardless of her tendency to get way too excited about guns, Rochelle is still one of the more level-headed survivors of the series.
• The Danza - Rochelle is voiced by Rochelle Aytes.
• Deadline News - Implied to have happened to her news crew in Savannah.
• Deadpan Snarker - Frequently.
• Doesn't Like Guns - At first. "Normally I hate guns, but I think I hate zombies more."
• Gosh Darn It To Heck - A lot of her exclamations sound like this, but she'll curse just as much.
• Hot Scoop - Oh yeah.
• Incredibly Lame Pun - Axe her a question, she dares you.
• Intrepid Reporter - Averted in that Rochelle at first sees the entire thing as a story that can put her on the map, but turns out to basically be fighting for her life and totally unconcerned about the event itself.
• Rule Thirty Four - There are fan-made nude models of her for the game, and so on.
• Sassy Black Woman
• The Scrappy - Unfortunately has this status in the fandom for a variety of reasons. Your mileage is likely to vary.
• Ship Mates - Ellis makes a suggestion to Rochelle that her and Francis should double date with him and Zoey.
• Ship Tease: In The Passing, Francis flirts with Rochelle, though he doesn't like her opinion of his vest.
• Shipper On Deck - Rochelle and Coach don't mind pushing Ellis towards Zoey.
• Shout Out - Many of her quotes are lines from Anchorman, Billy Idol, and even The Fonz. She's also wearing Depeche Mode t-shirt.
• Twofer Token Minority
• What Could Have Been - Rochelle went through the most character changes during development, whereas the others were locked in earlier.
• Your Mileage May Vary - Many consider her to be The Scrappy due to her seeming lack of personality, while others have kinder views of her.

Death Post for sirenspull Miner Plot

What was left of Rochelle looked like something out of the gorefests of movies, video games, and even the very place she came from. No part of her wasn't soaked with blood, as well as almost the entire room around her. Chunks of flesh and even teeth could have almost been the main feature of the scene where her body was discovered. It practically decorated everything--the floors, the table she had been sitting at, even floating around in the glasses of half-empty mugs quickly abandoned.

And that wasn't even the main attraction. Two things were missing off her body. For one, most of her head. The entire top part of her skull had been taken off like as if it was as easy to lop off as a t-ball from a stand. Her lower jaw disgustingly remained. Her tongue, and even the occasional tooth remained. A further look down showed that her t-shirt was torn at the chest. As with the couple yesterday, her chest cavity was cut open, her heart taken out and placed in a Valentines Day box in front of her blood soaked boots and discarded pistol.

A heart was fingerpainted on the wall, the one the rest of her lay in front of now. Her head hung in the center of it now.

[CHARACTER INFO]

axemeaquestion — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 04:52:13 GMT

General

Canon Source: Left 4 Dead series
Canon Format: Video game.
Character's Name: Rochelle
Character's Age: 29.

Abilities

If your character has no superhuman canon abilities, what dormant ability will you give them? Aura Sensing. Specifically, knowing where people are within a limited range, such as knowing someone is in the bathroom behind a closed door despite the fact she cannot physically see that person with her eyes. In a way she senses people like how you can see your teammates in Left 4 Dead's "character outlines" through walls and such.

Weapons: AK-47 and an axe.

History/Personality/Plans/etc.

Character History: Rochelle's canon was originally modern-day America in a normal world. She was an associate producer in journalism for a big-name news station called "Eyewitness 10", where was mostly lugging about cables and getting coffee. When Green Flu (to be explained below) had people start called in sick, she got promoted to her dream job: producer. She's assigned to Savannah, Georgia to cover a story in the infection before becoming caught up in the infection herself, trapped and fighting zombies with 3 other complete strangers.

Green Flu, a rabies-like pathogen, has hit the East Coast of the United States. It's better known as the infection, which is better known as a "goddamn zombie apocalypse and shit". You get the picture. Civil Emergency and Defense Agency (CEDA), initially tried to contain infected individuals in quarantined buildings. As cities and towns started to become more and more overrun with infected/zombies, mass evacuations were attempted. Generally, they were unsuccessful as most CEDA agents have either abandoned ship or are infected themselves, leaving any survivors to fend for themselves against near-overwhelming amounts of zombies. The military has currently stepped in, clearing out infected areas and providing evacuation for survivors, presuming survivors live to find them.

Character Personality: In a nutshell Rochelle is a friendly, kind, but sassy and somewhat guarded young woman from Cleveland. Before the infection it was assumed she simply had a normal life, working determined and ambitiously towards that dream job of hers.

She's sensible and level-headed with a dry sense of humor, peppered with a lot of sarcasm. Her sarcasm isn't quite up to the level of the cynical conman in their group, but it is up there. Most times she states her mind pretty frequently, responding with a "Jimmy Gibbs Jr... yay" to the goofy mechanic in their group that gets excited when he hears that his favorite racecar driver is around. She'll even ask a dead Coach if Coach was his first name or his last name, but it's debatable if she's making a cold remark or is just trying to cope with the situation (as her and the Coach normally have a pretty friendly relationship). Her dry wit frequents her lines a lot.

This aside she's considered the big sister of the group, joking and teasing with other characters a lot of the time during quiet moments. If she's helping an injured teammate, depending on the situation she'll give them encouraging words with a few pet names involved ("baby", "sweetie"). Other times she'll hastily snap at them to get up, though it's understandable under the stressful situations they're usually thrown into. Though considering the situation combined with her dry humor, she's suprisingly patient with certain characters (attributing to her "big sister" status).

She tries to be confident in a zombie apocalypse sort of setting despite her obvious fear (mostly shown if she's injured, to which she screams in pain if she gets attacked). For the most part, she is certainly not a damsel in distress, and tries to deal with the situations in her own ways. At first she tries to distance herself from the complete strangers she has to work together with, but when she becomes friends with them it's more apparent her dry wit seems to help in her barely-dealing-with-this sort of moments.
