Ooh, excellent question. For the vast majority of my characters, I build them around a set of traits and ideas, fill in background details, and flesh out their personalities independent of matching specific tropes.
For example, one of the characters (Ryan) in Apparent Secrets is brash and abrasive, very much a class clown, and uses his charms to overcompensate for his shortcomings in the workplace. His past, personality, and trajectory in the story could be boiled down to a handful of tropes, but he hopefully has enough distinctiveness to transcend "bad-boy class clown" and become someone more substantial.
Ryan's store-bought trope mix would have to include: abrasive personality + conventional attractiveness + overbearing upbringing + workplace malaise + obnoxious lout + shameless flirt
I'd also throw in a few extra "mix-ins" to add flavor: avid reader + unconventional hobbies + gym rat + anti finance bro + smarter than the average bear + amazing with numbers/math
It's the little extra mix-ins that help shape him as a person.
I don't mind stories build off of tropes (especially if the writing is good ), though some stories execute their ideas more successfully than others.
