  • Basic Trope: A character does incredibly unwise things and plays it off by stating that they're adhering to a code of honor. * Straight: Alice has the chance to ambush and kill Emperor Evulz for good, but decides against it because she finds sneak attacks dishonorable. * Exaggerated: Alice has a ridiculously specific code of honor, to the point where she's almost ineffective as a hero. * Justified: Alice doesn't like being dishonorable - she'd rather get killed. * Inverted: Alice is a Combat Pragmatist, willing to fight as dirty as possible to win. * Alice knows that the honorable thing is not always the smart thing, and acts in a way consistent with that * Subverted: Alice weighs the loss of honor from ambushing the Emperor versus the loss of life that Evulz has caused, and decides to ambush him. * Double Subverted: However, she gives up on the plan halfway through because it just feels wrong. * Parodied: Alice refuses to use American Customary Measurements, even when it would make her more easily understood, because she knows metric is simply better. * Deconstructed: Emperor Evulz repeatedly invokes Alice's code of honor, to the point where she's not able to fight back and he successfully kills her. * In a way, Honor Before Reason is a Deconstruction in itself. * Reconstructed: Alice's code of honor is the source of her power. * Zig Zagged: Alice tries her best to adhere to a code of honor, but it's a semi-flexible one. * Averted: Alice has no stated code of honor. * Enforced: "Emperor Evulz is popular, so we can't just have him be losing all the time! Wait, I've got it..." * Lampshaded: "I'm not going to attack an enemy from behind. I just won't! It's not fair!" * Invoked: Alice's predecessor was a Blood Knight of the highest caliber. To avoid being like him, she decides to create a code of honor. * Defied: "I know it's dishonorable to sneak up on him and kill him. But I don't care. This is for the good of the world." * Discussed: "Emperor Evulz! Turn around, I want you to see this one coming!" * Conversed: Back to Honor Before Reason.
