Great Characters: Trick (Lost Girl)
The show may be somewhat under the radar, but the character of Fitzpatrick McCorrigan (better known as "Trick") exists as one of the best examples of an "Overpowered Character" in any media.
Quick background, Lost Girl resides in one of those "The Supernatural & Mythological Exist, But Hidden From Humans" kind of universes. The world of the Fae has Succubi, Shifters, Valkyries, Djinn, Garuda, Redcaps, Selkies, etc, etc. Magic is real, curses suck, and puberty might turn you into a feral monster.
Trick is an original Fae known as a "Blood Sage", and his powers are, to put it lightly, basically Godlike. Anything Trick writes in his own blood becomes reality. He can literally rewrite the world as he pleases. The only limits to these powers are basically how much he can write before he passes out from blood loss. Trick wrote the very laws that govern the Fae, ending the war between factions that had waged for centuries. So, why does one of the most powerful Fae in existence run a tavern and never use his powers?
From the very first time we meet Trick (episode 1), there are hints that he is respected by many of the leaders among the Fae, but we see absolutely no hint of any powers. Instead we are given a warm & friendly barkeep operating the Dal Riata, a pub that exists as a safe & neutral territory for both factions of the Fae, the Light and the Dark. Patrons from all walks of life can come by for a drink, a game of pool, and even Bingo on some nights. Only a select few have any clue that the man pouring the drinks on La Shoshain is the very same King they are celebrating, and that's the way Trick prefers it.
Mythologically, there are multiple reasons an immortal demigod might live a powerless life among mortals. They could be testing followers who think no one is watching. They could be stripped of their powers and forced to survive without them. They could be reincarnated into a mortal being. They could just be bored and doing it for sh*ts & giggles.
Trick isn't testing anyone. His powers are as strong as they were when he was Monarch of the Fae. The only changes made to his appearance are that he no longer wears a crown, he has retained his immortality, and does nothing to hide his age. Above all, none of this is a joke to him.
The reveal & reason for Trick's chosen lifestyle is brilliant in its simplicity.
During the first season finale, Trick's renegade daughter Aoife tries to murder Bo, her daughter and Trick's granddaughter. Kenzi, Bo's best friend (a human among the Fae), comes to Trick and demands he help her. She knows who Trick is, she knows he can change Bo's fate with ease. Trick refuses. When Kenzi demands to know why, Trick shows her.
He begins pulling books off a shelf; two, three at a time, and putting them in front of Kenzi. Over a dozen volumes in all. All of them filled with Trick's blood. Filled with his changes, his corrections, his attempts to bring peace to the Fae. The end result is the world as it exists, right now. Trick is living in the world he crafted, line by line, word by word, change by change. We are faced with the literal weight of the countless attempts Trick has made over hundreds, maybe even thousands of years, to tackle the complexities of life. Trick can rewrite a person to end a quarrel, but that animosity will be directed to someone else. He can stop a disaster, but it causes a different disaster. He can erase someone from existence, but their lingering absence will still ripple in the lives of those they left behind. No matter how carefully, or thoroughly, or specifically Trick writes, no matter how many different ways he might write it or rewrite it, he always ends up causing the very thing he has sought to prevent; conflict. Trick's immortal life and godlike powers have only shown him how helpless he truly is.
The idea behind Trick's current status is an effort to solve problems & disputes without magic. By putting in the work, taking the time, and committing himself to helping those who need it; the right way. Wayward souls with nowhere else to go, confused individuals just learning about their Fae ancestry, or just any Fae looking for a safe place to eat, drink, and/or be merry for a night. When you need someone, Trick is there with shelter, a pint, and a willingness to listen. Its truly amazing how much difference that can make in a person's life.
It's somewhat reminiscent of The Stonecutter. Quick version for anyone unfamiliar with the story:
A lowly stonecutter works all day, wishing he were a rich lord. Suddenly, his wish is granted, and he finds himself so. He revels in the joys of being a Lord, until the day comes when he sees a powerful king. He wishes to be a king, so as to bow to no one. Suddenly, his wish is granted, and he finds himself king of a great nation. One day, while sitting on his throne, he sees the hot sun overhead, forcing him to seek cover & shade. Wishing to be the sun, he suddenly finds himself to be so. Taking joy in bearing down his heat on all below him, he is angered to have his rays blocked by a cloud. He wishes to be a cloud, so as to blot out even the powerful sun. Suddenly, his wish is granted. He now holds power over even the sun, and can pour down rain to destroy all beneath him, until the day comes that a strong wind blows him away. Wishing to be such a breeze, he suddenly finds that wish has come true. He becomes a powerful wind to blow away anything in his path, until he comes to a massive stone he cannot budge. He wishes to be such a stone, and his wish is granted. He stands as an immovable object, the unyielding bane of all the elements. Until one day, he looks down, and sees himself being chipped away by a lowly stonecutter.
Don't knock a humble life. Trick remains one of my favorite characters in large part due to Rick Howland's performance, which is unfailingly kind, lovable, and wise. There are also utterly hilarious moments such as Trick passing out drunk in a bathtub with a tie around his head, making bar jokes, or being asked painfully awkward questions about aspects of sexual intercourse by his succubus granddaughter. He always does his best, and we treasure him for it, but the fear in the eyes of this former God being asked some of these questions is just priceless.
