Walking Disaster Area	comment	Yay! The Hero is coming to town! Hey, where'd the town go? Why is there just this smoking crater covered in corpses? Like Weirdness Magnet, except for disasters, death, widespread unpleasantness, explosions, alien invasions, zombies, crazy terrorists and jaywalkers. Wherever they go, cities crumble, villains show up, and weeping is heard. Not because they themselves cause it, but the worst of the worst are constantly drawn to them. Unlike Walking Wasteland or Destructive Saviour, the person is not causing any of this. It just always happens where they are. Semi-related to Busman's Holiday, but it's not related to the person's job. Stuff just always happens wherever they are. Doom Magnet is for when this directly affects the supporting cast of the main character and they start dropping like flies. See Person of Mass Destruction, with whom there may be significant overlap. Compare The Jinx, who attracts bad luck on a smaller scale, and the Lethal Klutz who unintentionally leaves a wake of destruction while carrying out simple tasks. If plants and animals literally die in proximity, it's a Walking Wasteland. If there's anything of the city/country/planet left, expect the hero to be Persona Non Grata. See also Hero Insurance.

Accident and misfortune dog his every step, even causing him to be accidentally recruited into the Galaxy Police. Once he's there, though, his bad luck becomes an asset because it attracts pirate ships which the GP can then arrest. At the end of the series he somehow ends up with eight wives — whether that's good or bad luck is anybody's guess.

Walking Disaster Area / int_2a43dd91	comment	Nathan Drake of Uncharted would honestly prefer it if stuff didn't blow up everywhere he goes, but it just... seems to happen. Accidentally. This is lampshaded a lot and even played for subtle tragedy late in Among Thieves, when an innocent Tibetan village that happened to be sheltering Nate is invaded and shot to pieces with many casualties. In the third game, Nate manages to accidentally turn a plane in stable flight into a streak of flaming shrapnel from the cargo bay, shortly after boarding it, in an astonishing sequence of events that borders on Disaster Dominoes. At the end of the third game Nate causes the entire city of Ubar to collapse into a giant sinkhole. According to IGN, he's caused roughly 128 million in damages just based on all the vehicles he's destroyed by dumb luck.

Particularly glaring examples involve ringing a small desk bell... and having it burst into flame, and hitting a cymbal with a drumstick, which then began burning. Reaches its apex when, fed up with constant calls, the local fire department just gives Spencer some fire extinguishers for use around the house. Spencer pulls the pin on one, expecting a spray of foam... and gets a spray of fire!

The character who does qualify for this trope is White Mage, who can't seem to complete a good deed before a godlike act of destruction annihilates everything she's worked for. The vast majority of those are caused by the aforementioned Light Warriors, particularly Black Mage. In fact, some have given them the appropriate nickname of "Blight Warriors."

Walking Disaster Area / int_3bce4381	comment	Trigun: Vash the Stampede, also known as the "Humanoid Typhoon", is so potent an example of this trope that the planetary government legally declared him an "Act of God" and a "Natural Human Disaster". The plot of the anime involves him being followed from town to village by a pair of Insurance Agents who investigate insurance claims taken out against the damage caused by Vash simply being in the area. Trigun Stampede, a retelling of the story, dispenses with the girls being insurance agents (instead Vash is followed by news reporters) but Vash remains Vash. Almost every single one of the places he visits throughout the season winds up being destroyed as a result of his presence, no matter how hard he tries to keep everyone safe. In fact, Vash blames himself for stranding everyone on such an inhospitable planet in the first place, since the Evil Twin who's actually responsible sure as hell isn't owning up.

Walking Disaster Area / int_3d0180fa	comment	The Pink Panther: Most of the films' humor revolves around the incredible amount of destruction and misfortune caused by the clumsy and idiotic Clouseau. In the second film, Dreyfus claims that with ten Clouseaus he could destroy the world and in the fifth he labels the Death Ray he stole as less destructive than Clouseau. They are definitely not meant as compliments. Curse of the Pink Panther: Detective Cliffton Sleigh is just as unlucky and bumbling as Clouseau. His first scene has him botch an undercover assignment by unwittingly attracting the attention of a drunken men, a situation which escalates into a brawl involving various prostitutes who think he is trying to horn in on their territory (Sleigh is dressed as a woman as part of his cover). Sleigh's similarities to Clouseau are repeatedly brought up throughout the film.

Walking Disaster Area / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files: Harry Dresden. Ever since he started working in Chicago, there's pretty much three gigantic magical disasters per year. Also it is also due to living in a Disaster Area â€” the Chicago area is strongly magical, drawing in all kinds of things. A mobster, who is so badass that he joins a magical legal organization containing entities like demigods and wizard councils purely based on being a badass muggle, complains that Harry threatening to show up is more blackmail than he ever does. It turns out that being a Person of Mass Destruction and hanging out with a surprisingly large number of beings who are at least as powerful does wonders for the insurance collection rates. Later it's revealed most major forces in the Supernatural World knew who Dresden was, by reputation, and stayed out of Chicago for their own safety. Arguably, Chicago being the location for the battle(s) in Peace Talks/Battle Ground (2020) was the result of Dresden going missing for several months, starting at the end of Changes — it allowed the Fomor to move in unopposed.

Walking Disaster Area / int_57ad0c07	comment	While all of the Resident Evil protagonists have a dose of this, Jill Valentine's is larger than most. She's already in a disaster area when Resident Evil 3: Nemesis starts and it gets worse as she goes; shortly after she arrives, almost every location in the game tends to get overrun by zombies, catch on fire, explode, or have large vehicles crashed into it, with the whole thing capped off by a bombing run against the city. Resident Evil 6 exceeds Jill's absurdity by a country mile. All of the protagonists have trouble as they show, but at least for Jake and Sherry they're explicitly being hunted, and Chris and Piers are chasing after the root cause of the carnage. Leon and Helena, on the other hand, are this trope incarnate: literally everywhere they go all hell breaks loose for seemingly no reason. City streets turn into chaos, any vehicle they touch is going to crash, and every possible thing that can go wrong will, as if death itself practically follows them.

And the non-undead but just as nasty Eldritch Abominations who intend to turn the world into a literal Hell on Earth.

Walking Disaster Area / int_6c1d09b3	comment	Fallout 3 tends to spawn enemies around the player character. At higher levels, approaching civilization can be dangerous — odds are the enemies will far outclass any inhabitants of a given settlement. Fallout: New Vegas ditches the random encounters for the most part, but does have high-level monster spawn points near a few settlements, as well as scripted encounters with Elite Mook hit squads once the player has a negative reputation with either of the main factions. These will quickly lay waste to civilian NPC's when they follow the Courier into a settlement. The Courier also exhibited this in the backstory of the Lonesome Road DLC, where they wiped out civilization in the Divide by delivering an Old World device that triggered the detonation of the nuclear warheads there. The description for the lowest Agility SPECIAL level is "Walking Disaster".

Walking Disaster Area / int_76686539	comment	Commander Shepard in Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. In their search for Saren in the first, and battle against the Collectors in the sequel, almost no location has managed to avoid being wrecked. Some examples: When choosing your backstory, you can select one of them is War Hero, where Shepard single-handedly held the line against a huge number of pirates when they attacked the planet he/she was taking shore leave on. When you reach Eden Prime, it's under siege. The colony is wrecked and its inhabitants are mostly dead. The artifact you went to retrieve is still there, but after it's triggered by one of your teammates, Shepard interacts with it and it overloads and explodes. After recovering Liara, the Prothean ruins (that had survived fifty thousand years in a seismically active area) get destroyed by a quake Shepard triggered accidentally. In Noveria, they trigger the Peak 15 failsafe (a Neutron Bomb) to deal with a rachni infestation. In Feros, they remove the nerve bundles anchoring the Thorian, causing it to fall down a shaft to its death. The colony, at least, stays intact. In Virmire, they detonate a nuclear device to deal with the Krogan cloning facility. Although then, the salarians had already rigged up the bomb out of their ship's drive core before Shepard arrived. They just deployed it. The Citadel then gets trashed by Sovereign as Shepard is attempting to stop it. In the sequel, then, two colonies are abducted by Collectors just before or as Shepard arrives (at the second you're in time to save one third of the population). A dead Reaper (humongous ship Shepard explores in search of technology) is crushed by the atmosphere of the dead star it falls into after holding orbit for thirty-seven million years. You get to decide whether the Collector base survives or not, but it is to be expected that about half the time it's going to go boom. Jack's prison ship is destroyed. In Shepard's defense, all they were supposed to do was pick up a prisoner. It was the the Warden's idea to try capturing them. As every character notes, Shepard's enemies are quickly acquainted with explosions and death. It's even lampshaded by a batarian on Omega in Mass Effect 2. And by Wrex upon meeting Grunt. As well as Rana Thanoptis' reaction to seeing Shepard again. And then there's the end of The Arrival DLC where, whether Paragon or Renegade, Shepard joins in with a plan to hurl an asteroid into a mass relay, which releases enough energy to "resemble a supernova," destroying an entire solar system and killing just over three hundred thousand batarians. An all-time high score for him/her, unless you get forced into the worst possible ending in 3. Unlike the others, that one really bit Shepard in the ass, leaving him/her grounded by the brass for six months to sort out the mass murder and terrorism charges. Despite Spectres being the most elite soldiers in the galaxy, they have a strange habit of getting killed around Shepard. In the first game, Nihlus is murdered shortly after meeting Shepard and Saren dies at Shepard's hands. In Lair of the Shadow Broker, after being revealed as a traitor, Tela Vasir is killed during a confrontation with Shepard. The Virmire Survivor can potentially be killed during a stand-off in the third game if certain speech checks aren't met, and Jondum Bau can potentially die, depending on whether or not Shepard recruited Kasumi in the second game. In the Citadel DLC for the third game, Shepard is responsible for the destruction of a posh sushi restaurant after being ambushed by a group of mercenaries. No-one lets Shepard forget it — mostly because Shepard's exit from the restaurant involved falling through the aquarium-floor. Also from Citadel, Grunt's friends broke him out of the hospital to celebrate his birthday. First, they try to lower him out of the hospital on a rope, causing a broken window and Grunt going into a free fall while the doctors are completely oblivious. Then, they climb on the krogan statue on the Presidium. At that point, a police car shows up, prompting Grunt to throw his bottle of ryncol at it, causing the car to catch fire. Grunt and his buddies steal the burning car and crash at a noodle restaurant, where they are sprayed with riot foam, which didn't work on Grunt because he had also caught fire while he was in the car. Shepard almost seems relieved to be visiting Tuchanka in the second game, possibly because until the Reapers get involved it's hard to imagine anything that would mess up Tuchanka worse than the genophage and krogan clan warfare already has. Miranda lampshades this when she's talking with Shepard about theirclone. And this is before she finds out about Shepard's hand in the destruction of her favorite sushi restaurant. It is also the in-universe reputation of the krogan among salarians. When Wrex lands on Sur'Kesh, Padok Viks explains that he can't let a krogan loose in the facility, because the infirmary could not handle all the casualties.

Engel has been sniffing out (and reporting on) trouble spots all around the world — but mostly in the Middle East — since the 1990s, and has a reputation for always being in the middle of wherever the world is going to hell in a handbasket that week. So Stephen wanted to know if local governments go "Oh, Crap!" whenever they see Engel coming. note Turns out, some of them actually do. When Engel turned up in Lebanon at one point, the government wanted to know if he'd had advance warning of something bad coming their way. He hadn't, fortunately — but sure enough, two weeks later... Not coincidentally, Engel's third book (published 2016) is titled And Then All Hell Broke Loose.

For one, because he was an actor by training and for the longest time either sought out or created violent situations to provide material for his adventures. Also, because the way he forces himself on reality actually causes the fabric of magic and chance to send hell his way (according to his more metaphysically-minded companions). But mostly, it's because the crazy bastard can almost never resist the urge to escalate a fight.

Walking Disaster Area / int_b4fe32c9	comment	Invader Zim: The titular character, who once accidentally shut down the power for half a military training planet, for a snack, is this trope. At two minutes old, he blew out the power of most of a planet. His leaders put him in military science to try and turn his capacity for horrible, oblivious destruction in a useful direction, but it didn't really work out. For instance, Zim caused another power outage when he decided to visit the surface of Irk, killed the two previous Tallests by creating a Lovecraftian horror that nearly wiped out all space, and caused a planet to explode just by standing on it. To keep him contained during an invasion, his commanders confined him to a circle drawn on the ground. Zim promptly decided this was too simple a task for his GENIUS and hijacked a Humongous Mecha invasion machine, whereupon he commenced with the invading, the exploding, and the uncontrolled fires, blissfully unaware he had not yet left Planet Irk, and bringing the entire invasion down single-handed. For their next invasion, Zim's commanders exiled him to Earth, as far away from them as possible. From there, he still managed to destroy a large part of the invading fleet with an out-of-control, rapidly moving planet, Mars. In one unused script, there was to be a montage of everything Zim had ever destroyed. It would have gone on for a while.

Walking Disaster Area / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The Doctor. This is heavily lampshaded and emphasized to the point of Anviliciousness in the revived series. Certain Doctors exemplify the trope far more than others, however. The Fifth Doctor instantly comes to mind, with one of his companions dying on him, and most adventures ending with many (if not all) non-mains dead. With the Fifth, it got so bad that one of his companions actually chose to leave for home rather than deal with the death and devastation. One Fourth Doctor story has him coming back a few centuries later to the site of another adventure that happened off-screen. The devastation he left behind was such that the natives had come to "worship" him as their version of the Devil. In "Rose", the first episode of the revived series, a conspiracy theorist has been tracking the Doctor through historical images. Seeing him at the JFK assassination, the day before the Titanic set sail, and the day Krakatoa exploded leads him to believe that wherever he goes, death follows. Possibly topped in "Voyage of the Damned", when the Tenth Doctor discovers that London on one near-future Christmas Day is abandoned, as the residents have come to realize that every Christmas, aliens attack their city.

When she disappears in Mexico, Private Detective Raymond Campanella is asked to drag along accountant Eugene Proctor-the only living being who is just as bad, if not worse, on the luck department, on the hope that he manages to literally stumble his way into a solution.

Grunt and his buddies steal the burning car and crash at a noodle restaurant, where they are sprayed with riot foam, which didn't work on Grunt because he had also caught fire while he was in the car.

She's just an auto mechanic with the ability to turn into a coyote, but she keeps ending up in the center of mass werewolf kidnappings, vampire politics, attacks by Eldritch Abominations, and even volcano gods. She tends to make it out alive, though she's wound up in the hospital repeatedly. Her enemies, on the other hand, tend to wind up dead. This is because she's actually the daughter of the Coyote of Native American myth and is thus a horrible magnet for all kinds of trouble, whether she wants it or not.

His favorite artillery regiment (watching the war from several dozen miles behind the front lines) was in the way of a tyranid flanking attack, his checking up on a few insurgents apart from the main host turns up the remnants of an inquisitorial warband fighting a nest of genestealers and having a cozy little war against seemingly poorly-organized orks reintroduces him to his best friends, the Necrons. Finding himself a make-work assignment to avoid the most dangerous fighting only to fall into something more dangerous which incidentally also puts him in the perfect position to save the day is a Once an Episode Running Gag.
