This is a fanfic. If you're looking for the trope, [[Soulless Shell| go here]].
 
Officially entitled "soulless'''''Soulless shell", complete with missing caps, this fic''''' has been dubbed the ''[[Legolas By Laura (Fanfic)|legolas by laura]]'' of the ''[[Redwall]]'' fandom, and described as being "like a badfic bingo card". To attempt to summarise this thing:
 
The story begins with the introduction of Leif Melyamos, a half-rat half-mouse, whose parents are killed by a mysterious organisation of evil which captures him and declares him to be the "crimson king" (apparently no relation to [[The Dark Tower]] series). They demand he demonstrate his powers, and it's revealed very suddenly that he has the ability to [[Canon Defilement|shoot beams from his paws and teleport, by which fact nobeast seems very surprised for some reason]]. Skip an uncertain amount of time, and Leif has become the leader of the mysterious organisation of evil, despite being a good guy at heart. His rival, Councilman [[Aerith and Bob|Arnold]], is accused of rape and Leif has him arrested, only to have him escape. Luckily Leif is on a date nearby with his fangirl Maiomi, who is supposed to be seventeen but [[Lolicon|acts seven]] because the author can't write female characters convincingly, finds Arnold, and slaughters him messily while in his brand new randomly-appearing monster form, which has horns and wings. Leif then goes on a quest to find his father's magical sword, which demands a sacrifice of blood before it will let him use it. The story ends abruptly there, as the author has not resumed it since.

{{tropelist}}
 
* [[Adaptation Decay]]: Putting it mildly.
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Characters' names include Leif, Maoimi, Aveena, Karas, Thrnos, Monroe, and Arnold.
Line 17 ⟶ 16:
* [[Beige Prose]]: "Ahh he yelled as he slashed him his blood hit the floor."
* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: Unintentionally so.
* [[BLAMNon Sequitur Episode]]
* [[Boring Invincible Hero]]: There are no opponents who could present any sort of challenge to Leif.
* [[Cardboard Prison]]: Arnold talks his guards into letting him out and joining him in revenge against Leif.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Leif against everyone he fights. Lampshaded in the encounter with three of Arnold's guards (who, to be fair, as [[Mook|Mooks]]s, wouldn't give most heroes any trouble, either).
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Well, at least it's trying to be.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: At one point, Thrnos bows twice in a single run-on sentence.
Line 38 ⟶ 37:
* [[Large Ham]]: Leif. See "Narm".
* [[Lolicon]]: Seemingly Maoimi, who behaves like a toddler and apparently can't reach above Leif's waist when hugging him.
{{quote| Ara: "Wait, wait, she's seventeen? We've been making paedophile jokes the whole time for a reason, she acts like she's seven!"}}
* [[Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls]]: Averted - the author claimed to be a fifteen-year-old boy. The evidence suggests he is indeed male, but is probably lying about his age, if he's not trolling.
* [[MS TingMSTing]]: See links.
* [[New Powers as the Plot Demands]]
* [[No Ending]]: The author appears to have gotten bored with it, or discouraged by the lack of reviews.
Line 47 ⟶ 46:
* [[Obligatory Swearing]]
* [[Odd Name Out]]: Arnold. See the MST:
{{quote| "It's really just the 'Arnold' bit that's bugging me, because the first thing I thought of was the governor of California. You can tell the author's just out of ideas."}}
* [[Older Than They Look|Older Than They Sound]]: Maoimi.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Leif's bizarre winged transformation, which comes completely out of left field.
