We need this trope

based and true

Name at least three games but less than seven
At least two must let you romance her

>>716447113 (OP)
Women in heavy plate armor are objectively sexier than naked women.

>>716447113 (OP)
okay but this is important
does she have a high-pitched voice or a low-pitched voice

>player showed an act of kindness
>realizes the world isn’t as evil as she thought

>>716447113 (OP)
This is a stealth thread about that one game that breaks the janny, isnt it? I cant even tell anymore.

Anyway - fucking love murgoten' art, but he really needs to cut down on the dykes, for fucks sake.

>>716447113 (OP)
Female Dark Knights are the best

>>716447814
its anime slop, so high pitched

>>716447113 (OP)
worst trope
femoids ruin everything

>>716447814
voice is inverse to bust size

>>716448612
now we're getting somewhere

>>716447113 (OP)
I never got the appeal of gap moe, you want to fuck something dangerous but without any of the risks

>>716449278
what would be the supposed risk? dick chopped off?

>>716448115
>troon'ra

Genki girl dark knight.

>>716449278
It's not about the danger, but the quality of the prize

>>716449278
Gap moe has a very broad definition and I think you've latched onto a very narrow part of it thinking it's the only application of the phrase.

>>716448026
>dark k***ht

For once I’d just like to see a shadowy thief with a heart of gold attempting to steal from the party getting caught in the act and proceeding to join the party under and everyone trusting them to entirely from that moment on

>>716448026
This is pretty cool. We need an army building game where you actually lead your army into battle. One that isn't shit, I mean.

Could be taller.

>>716449652
?

>>716450015
That's cool looking.

>super cheerful dark knight
but then she isn't some dark knight, she's just a friendly knight
>b-b-but her armor and abilities
armor is just cosmetic, and if every friendly, cheerful person can use evil abilities, then those abilities aren't exactly evil, no?
>n-no y-you don't understand, sh-she kills innocent people and sacrifices kids for her powers
ah, so she is just a psychopath and you are a low IQ degenerate, got it

>>716447814
Neither, she has a completely unremarkable and unmemorable voice

We actually dont

Endless gap moe

>>716450353
Dark doesn't have to mean evil or destructive, it can be the unknown, working from the shadows or the downtrodden.

>>716450353
It's common, especially in fanart/fic communities. 40 year old women who draw some idealized male body, the same as all of their only drawings, except this one has a pout on, has faggy makeup on and is named "Sadness" or some shit. It's the most superficial bullshit I've ever seen, and it's ironic considering the demographic making it.

>>716450412
>Jimiko dark knight
Man we just keep pushing further.

>>716450353
DON'T QUESTION IT, EDGY = GOOD

>>716450364
this is the way, helmet stays ON

>>716450560
the dark knight trope is one of the oldest "evil guy" trope in existence. if you design an evil woman knight, but don't want her to be evil, it's just a woman wearing dark armor retard

>>716450560
>>716451046
forget it, I just realized that this "wholesome dark knight" trope is just inspired by batman capeshit

>>716447494
I can't, but collectively we can!
>Unicorn Overlord

>>716447113 (OP)
>wrote a whole-ass novel once but lost it during a move (still have random outlines and summaries though)
>have always been super annoyed by the "huge burly knight is actually revealed as a woman later into the story" trope and the "wow this guy's super strong, not like these pussy-ass women; oh god the knight's a woman??!?!?! My masculinity is shattered!" trope
>but I still like armored women in "masculine" armor wielding huge swords
>have a female knight character who is revealed to be female right away, helmet off, no secrets, but she puts her helmet on shortly after and never takes it off ever again

>>716447113 (OP)
Why does he look like a faggot?

>>716451168
>wholesome
I don't you know what that word means anon

>>716451470
usually its because the woman is actually immensely attractive
should look like The Hound from Game of Thrones. Disfigured, which gives a reason for her to be stoic or simply uncaring.

>>716452112
good think I used the word in a sarcastic manner then

>>716450774
Based

>>716450353
>it's impossible for someone versed in dark magics to not be a mopey cunt
Uh huh

>>716453448
mudrock sweaty sex

>>716453448
Muddy :DDDDD

>>716450353
It's a matter of philosophy, plus cheerful and grim shit aren't always in opposition. Gallows humour is called so for a reason
As long as it's at least somewhat justified by the setting, it's wholly possible there could be someone using evil powers who still appreciates the concept of a greater good and justifies their dark abilities with some edgy-but-not-angsty philosophy
It'd be a fine line having the other characters accept such a person on their team, but that's been done before too. Vermintide for example is a masterclass in writing characters who loathe the people they're working with but still defend them to the death (Saltzpyre vs. Sienna and Kerillian, and vice versa)

>>716447494
pic from Fire Emblem: Three Houses (just reclass her into a dark knight).
Amalia from Unicorn Overlord.
Velvet Crowe from Tales of Berseria is like that sometimes.

>>716450353
Beetlejuice is a dark character but he isn't mopey or depressive at all

>>716451141
MINGE

>>716447113 (OP)
I don't know why but that image always makes me think of Undyne, even though they got like nothing in common visually except the open mouth helmet with a red tassel. Even the eye glow is completely different.

>>716450353
Barbosa didn't say that

>>716447113 (OP)
Imagine is someone did that, would be cool, right?

Why is Dark Knight always fucking shit in every single game?
>Less damage than generic Warriors
>Less tanky than normal Knights
>Less sustain than Paladins

>>716449278
this is regular moe, nothing gap about it

>>716447113 (OP)
>The muscular warrior that gets easily embarrassed
>The weakling that turns into the strongest character in the game
>The regal one that's actually a huge klutz
>The outgoing party animal that's actually dead on the inside
>etc.

I know it's just basic juxtapositions, but I love that shit when it comes to characters. Obviously not everyone should be like that, but every game should have one or two people like that in them.

>>716455278
>The outgoing party animal that's actually dead on the inside
Daibanana...

>>716450353
>What if Guts but cute girl
>Has a cheerful attitude despite all the terrible shit in her life
This is absolutely peak moe.

>>716447113 (OP)
for some reason when i see a female knight with dark flowing hair and dark armor, I immediately think of dullahans

>>716455259
i crave for the glory days of the BD suicide knight
yeah sure it's still not the best job, but, 9999 9999 9999

>>716455738
Moe is garbage and your pic proves you're a tasteless fool

>>716455278
For me it's
>The classy and well spoken character that's a complete fucking dumbass with no concept of common sense

>>716456228
Honestly that was the best pic I could find on-hand to illustrate the premise I was thinking of, it wasn't intended as an indorsement of RZ. That said you're a fucking faggot so whatever.

>>716456602
imagine the chafing

>>716450353
hello? the original knigga? the nice guy who doesn't want to eat at his own soul for power but does so out of obligation to his liege?

>>716447113 (OP)
>>716448006
murgoten's art is dogshit and all he ever does is draw the same woman over and over again

Strong women are such a great fantasy because in real life they're so weak and stupid. Really lets you escape and just have a complete fantasy with no reality slipping in.

>>716447113 (OP)
No because that desnt make the character belivable and i cant suspsend disbelief

>>716447113 (OP)
Yeah, but also, if we overdo it and write it lazily, it becomes Rian Johnsonesque subversionslop.

>>716447113 (OP)
>knight starts getting too caught up in the daily terror of her overlord
>No one to really connect with because the rest of the legion are all purge-fags
>like can they really not talk about how many heretics they burned last week
>meets your party during one of her subjugation expeditions and one day and you all hit it off
>super happy bc she finally has some people to chat with.

>>716448026
bruh jinwoo just be aura farming

>>716450353
"Dark" =\= "Bad"

>>716447113 (OP)
Wrong. We need more LIVING ARMOR being moe

>>716463314
based based based
for me it's possessed but with a semi-corporeal void figure beneath

>>716463314
both are good
imagine a cheery dark knight girl and her living armor bestie

>>716447113 (OP)
BWC slut

>>716451291
I don't know if I'd classify Ren as cheerful, but she's certainly gloomy.

>>716447113 (OP)
zoomers don't know this one
>goody two shoes paladin
>fiancé is framed and burned at the stake at the start of the game
>she is conflicted but eventually turns to the dark side and becomes a blackguard in the service of the antagonist
>executed at the end of the game
>in the second expansion pack you go to hell and she becomes a romanceable party member
>if you romance her she will wait for you to live out your days and so that you two can be together again, in death

>>716447113 (OP)
The helmet stays ON!

>>716447113 (OP)
Dropped. I only like gloomy girls.

What the fuck is going on in the kitchen that would require a woman to dress like this?

>>716471865
>okay, gloomer

>>716471934
She obviously works in Hell's Kitchen!

>>716447113 (OP)
Why did you keep the signature? Is this an ad?

>>716456228
You don't even understand what moe means.

Wow it's [Trope] but it's subverted! What an appealing gap moe; Wow.

>>716472659
It's fine, I know what I am.

>>716473741
Sucy sexo

>>716473690
Why does /v/ shit it's pants when they see stuff like that?
I remember this place went rabid over pictures of Isabelle and Doomguy.

>>716474494
damn straight

>>716474591
Anons get mad at anything they see happen twice. Disregard them.

>>716456482
Ah, the Estinien. Patrician choice.

>>716447113 (OP)
Someday I'll have to actually read this manga

>>716448026
>super epic bad ass fantasy character
>just wears normal modern clothes
i hate this anime shit so much

>>716447113 (OP)
leave the helmet on faggot

Isnt that just Albedo but less of a pshycopath?

>>716475369
I would follow her on the road to hell.

>>716447494
>her

>>716475862
She's completely right.

>>716475713
And less of a virgin.

>>716448026
i made myself read this and i was expecting some kind of development at some point but the MC is just an emotionless retard
the entire story felt pointless, he has literally no motivations whatsoever

Close

>>716450353
>but then she isn't som-
BRAAAAAAAAAAAAP
>armor is just cosm-
BRAAAAAAAAAAAAP
>ah, so she is just a ps-
BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP
HAVE A ROTTEN DAY

>>716475369
Which manga

>>716475862
Cute dork

>>716475862
Sauce?

>>716463314
Instructions unclear, dick caught in chainmail.

>>716475862
>>716475369
She's a bisexual menace.

>>716447494
Does Undyne count? The colors and armor here remind me a lot of her, but that seems like specific taste

>>716477463
Is there some other kind of bisexual?

>>716475862
That's the mango with the girl who's like literally the daughter of the grim reaper, right?
That was fun while I read it, but I never got back to it for... shit, it's been years.

>>716475713
Albedo is completely sane though. Demons (in OW lore) either see humans as less than dirt or despise them. Albedo is normal for demons.

>>716477771
Yes. It's amusing that her solution to many problems is "kill whoever's in charge and parade their head around on a pike."

>>716474591
Fan made stuff is different from official stuff. If someone made a comic/manga of the OP pic it's almost guaranteed to be boring as shit and lose all it's appeal in 10 chapters or less.

>>716450015
This is peak female performance. Simultaneously cool but also sexy.

>>716447113 (OP)
>le gap moe!!!!!
Incredibly cheesy and cheap trope.

>>716463314
This. But also with a sentient weapon as well

>>716448026
>Pajeet Leveling

>>716450353
>, and if every friendly, cheerful person can use evil abilities, then those abilities aren't exactly evil, no?

exactly

>>716447113 (OP)
This is just an offtopic /a/ thread, not /v/. Please go to the corect board.

>>716478094
Would the sword be an evil motherfucker, upset that it's somehow bound to the friendly moeblob?
Or would it be equally friendly & naive, but have no idea that killing is generally frowned upon in polite society?

I think cross dressing is kinda gross, desu.

>>716475369
>>716475862
fine don't say the name I hope you die a slow death faggot

>>716478987
reverse image search you retarded newfag

>>716471934
Classic but funny

>>716471934
Cooking with hot oil spitting from your pan is no joke anon, shit stings okay?

>>716450353
Imagine Gutts but instead of his curse leading to him acting like a wounded dog for fear of getting more people killed and feeling the pain of loss, she's developed a memento mori mentality and aims to bring as much joy as possible to the people she meets, lest they too get slaughtered by demons.

>>716447113 (OP)
Female knights are called dames though

>>716481739
Sounds like shit.

>>716478987
I was just absent and would have given the name to >>716475369
But then you gave me a reason to not post it, mr.entitled fuck.

You could actually find it from >>716477771

I pissed in your mom's ass.

>>716447113 (OP)
Too many other tropes are sanitized these days don't steal the cool edgy dark knight away from me too

This artist has worse same face than most
