Beginnings...

Smoking Is Cool
If you're badass, you smoke and vice versa, nine times out of ten a fictional smoker is a Badass. No childlike or upbeat characters smoke.
Caps can be found here.
Suggestions
- Audrey Horne, Twin Peaks
- Reservoir Dogs
- Tyler Durden, Fight Club
- Blade Runner
- Spike, Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Sharp Dressed Man
"Clothes make the man" is this guy's motto. A three-piece-suit is the usual embodiment of this trope, but more imaginative outfits can qualify as well.
Caps can be found here.
Suggestions
- Loki, Thor, The Avengers
- Inception
- Barney Stinson, How I Met Your Mother
- Chuck Bass, Gossip Girl
- Sherlock
- Don Draper, Mad Man

Femme Fatale
She's stunningly beautiful and alluring, and she knows it. Made famous by Film Noir and hard-boiled detective stories, the Femme Fatale manipulates and confuses the hero with her undeniable aura of sexiness and danger.
Caps can be found here.

Gaussian Girl
Icons must have a soft coloring and feature a blurry, glowing look.
