Ded Parents

''"I'm mad at the world cuz muh parentz died." Pssh, get the hell outta here, kid.''

Someone's one and only reason for doing anything might be because their parents are no more. So much anger caused by parental loss. Unless they're raging against who killed their parents, this is Terrible Motive played straight as an arrow right here.

As one of the most widely-played UnTrashes in history ever, Ded Parents is an UnTrash people would be rushing to call "clichéd". And despite this being very sensible in reality, this is a fictional story we're talking about. Chances are you could easily and quickly come up with ten other better logical motives for a character than Ded Parents.

Ded Parents Plays
Basic: Guy is pissed that his parents got killed by the Villain or something else and acts in response to this loss. He also grows a hatred for the murderer for a reason other than they killed his mother and father.

Reinforced: This is the only reason why Guy wants revenge. Oddly enough, this is more like Basic and Basic is Downplayed.

Downplayed: Along with murder Guy's parents, the murderer did something else that Guy detests them for and acts against them more because of this reason than Ded Parents.

Negated: Plot Wires cause Guy to initially go out for the murderer, then forget all about that and fights for a different reason.

Inverted: --

Justified: The Traitor of any type is the murderer.

Gleeful: -- (How could this be Gleeful?)

Dismal: Guy doesn't fight the murderer. Instead, he falls into a deep depression and commits suicide to join his parents on the other end (even though they might be in Heaven and he goes to Hot Evil-Loser Land for, y'know, the whole suicide thing).
