The intial story prompt was basically an ''ApocalypseNow'' ripoff with Roy Mustang and his unit (plus characters from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'',''{{S-Cry-Ed}}'', and ''TalesOfSymphonia'' for some unfathomable reason [''S-Cry-Ed'' got to stay because Alters are somewhat similar to alchemy; both ''[=FFVII=]'' and ''[=ToS=]'' have been axed completely]) going to the jungles of Cambodia to track down the traitor King Bradley and his team of rogue alchemists and Alter users, who are collaborating with [[RenegadeRussian renegade Soviet]] [[MetalGearSolid Colonel Volgin]] on a [[MilitaryMashupMachine secret project]] that has the potential to shift the balance of power in favor of the North Vietnamese. Unfortunately for Volgin and his buddies, they need [[BlackBox a certain piece of Black Technology]] to transform their MilitaryMashupMachine from an AwesomeButImpractical GlassCannon to a true superweapon capable of bringing those damned UsefulNotes/YanksWithTanks and their South Vietnamese lapdogs to their knees. However, this particular section of the story has been more or less shelved in order to focus exclusively on...

* {{Demonization}}, {{Flanderization}}: Rule of thumb: If they're from ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', ''FruitsBasket'', ''HayateTheCombatButler'', ''LightNovel/AngelBeats'', or ''LightNovel/{{Toradora}}'', they'll be prone to this.

...our good friend [[FullMetalPanic Kaname Chidori]], who just so happens to share the same city (and in most cases, the same school) with Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya, [[Anime/CodeGeass Lelouch Lamperouge]], [[OuranHighSchoolHostClub Tamaki Suoh]], [[FruitsBasket Tohru Honda]], [[{{Negima}} Negi Springfield]], [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Ichigo Kurosaki]], [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Saber]], [[BloodPlus Saya Otonashi]], [[ShakuganNoShana Shana]], [[Manga/{{KOn}} Mio Akiyama]], [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka Kaname]], [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Souji Seta]], [[VisualNovel/SchoolDays Kotonoha Katsura]], [[HayateTheCombatButler Hayate Ayasaki]], [[LightNovel/AngelBeats Yuri Nakamura]], [[LightNovel/{{Toradora}} Taiga Aisaka]], [[{{AIR}} Misuzu Kamio]], [[{{Kanon}} Ayu Tsukimiya]], [[VisualNovel/{{Clannad}} Nagisa Furukawa]], [[NogizakaHarukaNoHimitsu Haruka Nogizaka]], [[Anime/BokuWaTomodachiGaSukunai Sena Kashiwazaki]], and [[MegaCrossover perhaps the casts of just about every other school-based anime, manga, and video game in existence]]. (Lots of CanonDefilement was needed to shoehorn everybody in, by the way.) Kaname is still a Whispered, which means that she's a highly valued commodity to various parties (the American and Japanese governments, the KGB, and Colonel Volgin, to name a few). Which means everyone's favorite [[ChildSoldiers child soldier]], Sousuke Sagara, has been assigned to protect her.

** BadassCrew: Heroic examples include the SOS Brigade, Hokago Tea Time, the Puellae Magi, and Lelouch and Souji's respective groups. The SSS are a villainous example.

** ChaoticNeutral: Rakshata Chawla (with slight ChaoticGood leanings), Nathan Mahler, Makoto Ito (with slight ChaoticGood leanings), most members of the SSS and Neighbors Club, Minori Kushieda, Tamaki Suoh, Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin, Youhei Sunohara, Youichi Hiruma.

* GoodGunsBadGuns: Inverted with the Steyr AUG, a "good" gun all the way through; the UsefulNotes/AussiesWithArtillery and some UsefulNotes/FillipinosWithFirearms use it, as do Ryoko Asakura, Saya Otonashi, Negi Springfield, Shirley Fenette, and Tsumugi Kotobuki. ([[AuthorAppeal Seriously, it fucking pisses off this troper to no end that the AUG is almost always a "bad" gun.]]) The SIG-Sauer P226 (some with stainless slides) and FN P90 are also strictly "good" guns.

* HandCannon: Haruhi Suzumiya, Asuna Kagurazaka, Ichigo Kurosaki, and Ritsu Tainaka all use Desert Eagles as their sidearms.
* HaremHero: Makoto Ito, Yuichi Aizawa, and Kodaka Hasegawa all start as Type 1 and later become Type 2A. Kyon, Negi, Lelouch, Souji, and Tomoya are all Type 2B from the start.

* ICallItVera: Yui Hirasawa is particularly prone to this; for instance, her Glock 18 and SIG-Sauer P226 "Glocky" and "Siggy," respectively. Mio Akiyama's Heckler & Koch [=HK417=] is named "Elizabeth," just like her Fender Jazz Bass.

** {{Tsundere}}: Should be pretty obvious who.
** {{Yandere}}: Kotonoha Katsura and Sekai Saionji, of course.

* TheQuisling: Those among LesCollaborateurs who went over willingly, like Kyoya, Nagi, and Yuri, are this.

''Alchemist Jacket Panic'' is a fanfic idea by [[Tropers/LelouchZero this troper]] that has been more or less in DevelopmentHell since mid-2006. While the name may hint at a simple [[XMeetsY X Meets Y Meets Z]] crossover (in this case, ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'' + ''FullMetalJacket'' + ''FullMetalPanic'', with all the implications that would follow), it was initially planned as much, '''MUCH''' more than that. Later revisions to the idea have seen entire series have their roles reduced significantly or outright removed.

The intial story prompt was basically an ''ApocalypseNow'' ripoff with Roy Mustang and his unit (plus characters from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', ''{{S-Cry-Ed}}'', and ''TalesOfSymphonia'' for some unfathomable reason [''S-Cry-Ed'' got to stay because Alters are somewhat similar to alchemy; both ''[=FFVII=]'' and ''[=ToS=]'' have been axed completely]) going to the jungles of Cambodia to track down the traitor King Bradley and his team of rogue alchemists and Alter users, who are collaborating with [[RenegadeRussian renegade Soviet]] [[MetalGearSolid Colonel Volgin]] on a [[MilitaryMashupMachine secret project]] that has the potential to shift the balance of power in favor of the North Vietnamese.

(Lots of CanonDefilement was needed to shoehorn everybody in, by the way.) Kaname is still a Whispered, which means that she's a highly valued commodity to various parties (the American and Japanese governments, the KGB, and Colonel Volgin, to name a few). Which means everyone's favorite [[ChildSoldiers child soldier]], Sousuke Sagara, has been assigned to protect her.

* AntiVillain: Tamaki Suoh, Hayate Ayasaki, and Yuri Nakamura, to name three.

* AssholeVictim: Shinji Matoh, Taisuke Sawanaga, and especially Youichi Hiruma.
* TheAtoner: Tamaki Suoh, Tohru Honda, and Yuri Nakamura towards the end.

* AxCrazy

** BadassArmy: The U.S Army, obviously. Australia, Japan, unified Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, South Vietnam, and Thailand all get their due, though. The NVA is a villainous example, at least among those sections that still maintain some measure of discipline (see SociopathicSoldier).
** BadassCrew: Heroic examples include the SOS Brigade, Hokago Tea Time, and Lelouch and Souji's respective groups.
** BadassFamily: The Nogizakas are a villainous example. The Dojimas might count too, even if Souji's just Ryotaro's nephew and Nanako is decidedly not an ActionGirl.

* BattleCouple: Quite a few, actually. Kyon, Lelouch, Negi, and Souji are full-blown [[HaremHero Harem Heroes]] (see below).

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Nagi Sanzen'in. Just Nagi Sanzen'in.

* BlingBlingBang: Lelouch's M1911, Milly and Tsumugi's Browning Hi-Powers, and Tamaki's Beretta 92. Milly's customized M14 particularly stands out.

* CanonDefilement

** NeutralGood: Kaname Chidori, Yuki Nagato, Mikuru Asahina, Itsuki Koizumi, Mio Akiyama, Tsumugi Kotobuki, Orihime Inoue, Nunnally Lamperouge, Shirley Fenette, Kiritsugu Emiya, Rin Tohsaka, Sakura Matoh, Yuji Sakai, Kazumi Yoshida, Saya Otonashi, Diva, Hagi, Negi Springfield, most members of Negi's homeroom class (Mana Tatsumiya and Nodoka Miyazaki in particular), Mahoro Ando, Setsuna Kiyoura, Souji Seta, Yosuke Hanamura, Yukiko Amagi, Rise Kujikawa, Teddie, most Key Visual Works characters, Tohru Honda.

** LawfulNeutral: Nina Einstein, Evangeline [=McDowell=] (with strong LawfulGood leanings), Illyasviel von Einzbern, Soichiro Kuzuki, Kanade Tachibana, Haruhi Fujioka, Takashi Morinozuka, Hayate Ayasaki, Maria.
** TrueNeutral: Rolo Lamperouge (with strong NeutralEvil leanings), Lloyd Asplund, Caster, Archer, Solomon Goldsmith, Kotonoha Katsura, Sekai Saionji, most members of the Sohma family, Hinagiku Katsura, Haruka Nogizaka, Ryoma Echizen, Sena Kobayakawa.
** ChaoticNeutral: Rakshata Chawla, Nathan Mahler, Makoto Ito (with slight ChaoticGood leanings), Yuri Nakamura and the SSS, Tamaki Suoh, Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin, Youhei Sunohara, Youichi Hiruma.

** NeutralEvil: Shinji Matoh, Kirei Kotomine, Taisuke Sawanaga, the VC.
** ChaoticEvil: Gates, Gauron, Gilgamesh, Karl Fei-Ong.

* ColdSniper: Mana Tatsumiya, Uryu Ishida, and Lelouch Lamperouge. Naoto Shirogane as well, to a degree. Yuki Nagato later becomes the epitome of one.

* {{Demonization}}, {{Flanderization}}: Rule of thumb: If they're from ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', ''FruitsBasket'', ''HayateTheCombatButler'', or ''LightNovel/AngelBeats'', they'll be prone to this.

* DrivenToVillainy: Quite a few of LesCollaborateurs (Tamaki Suoh, Tohru Honda, Hayate Ayasaki, Yuri Nakamura) were forced into collaborating.

* FriendlySniper: Kurz Weber. Itsuki Koizumi, Souji Seta, Mio Akiyama, and Milly Ashford later become friendly snipers as well.
* GadgeteerGenius, ScienceHero: Chao Lingshen and Nina Einstein.

* GeniusBruiser: Chad Sado.

* GuileHero: Kyon, Souji, and Lelouch.

* GunsAkimbo: Yosuke Hanamura (dual SIG-Sauer P226s), Archer (dual Colt M1911s), Haruhi Suzumiya (Desert Eagle + M1911), and Yui Hirasawa (Glock 18 + P226).

* HandCannon: Haruhi Suzumiya, Asuna Kagurazaka, Ichigo Kurosaki, Chad Sado, and Ritsu Tainaka all use Desert Eagles as their sidearms.
* HaremHero: Makoto Ito starts as a Type 1 and later becomes a Type 2A. Kyon, Negi, Lelouch, and Souji are all Type 2B from the start.
* HeroicSacrifice: Misuzu, Ayu, Nagisa, and Mahoro.
* HeroicSociopath: Sousuke Sagara and Rolo Lamperouge, to a degree. Kotonoha Katsura is somewhere between this and AxCrazy.

* ImprobableAge: Sousuke Sagara and Negi Springfield, obviously.
* ImprobableAimingSkills

* IndyPloy

* {{Jerkass}}: Kyoya Ohtori and the Hitachiin twins, for starters.

* KindaBusyHere
* KnifeNut: Sousuke Sagara, Ryoko Asakura, Rolo Lamperouge, Kotonoha Katsura, and Sekai Saionji.

* LesCollaborateurs: The Host Club, the Sohma family and its associates, Nagi Sanzen'in and her associates, Gentou Nogizaka and his mercs, and Yuri Nakamura and the SSS. Many of them didn't have a choice, though.

* MadScientist: Lloyd Asplund, Rakshata Chawla, and just about anyone else involved with Arm Slave and/or Knightmare Frame development (with the sole exception of Cécile Croomy). Nina Einstein is one in training.

* TheMagicVersusTechnologyWar: Magic and technology now fight side-by-side.

* PluckyGirl: Haruhi Suzumiya, the members of Hokago Tea Time, and Souji Seta's harem, almost to a fault. Tohru Honda is an [[AntiVillain anti-villanous]] variant.
* TheQuietOne: Sousuke, Chad, Naoto, and Yuki Nagato.
* TheQuisling: Those among LesCollaborateurs who went over willingly, like Kyoya and Nagi, are this.

* RedsWithRockets: Still going strong, and still supplying North Vietnam with weapons.

* RichBitch: Nagi Sanzen'in and Akito Sohma. Kyoya Ohtori and Mitsukuni Haninozuka qualify as rich bastards.

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Tsuruya's Pancor Jackhammer. Kanji Tatsumi and a few of the UsefulNotes/YanksWithTanks and [[UsefulNotes/SouthKoreansWithMarines Koreans With Marines]] use the Daewoo USAS-12. Some minor protagonists, like Rivalz Cardemonde and Keigo Asano, use Mossberg 590s.

* SpoiledBrat: Nagi and Mitsukuni, full stop.
* TheStoic: Sousuke and Yuki Nagato, again.

* SuperPrototype: The Siegfried, Lancelot Conquista, Guren Mk-II, Arbalest, and Codarl.
* SwordAndGun: Saber (broadsword + Browning Hi-Power), Saya (katana + SIG-Sauer P226), and Shana (katana + FN P90 or Five-seveN).

* TankGoodness: Mostly older stuff like [=M48A5=] Pattons, PT-76s, and upgraded T-55s. The [=M1A2=] Abrams and Type 90 also get their fair share of exposure.

* UnwantedHarem: Played straight with Negi, and averted with Kyon, Souji, and Lelouch.

* WeHelpTheHelpless: The SOS Brigade. The Host Club also aspires to this, as flawed as its members are.

* ZergRush: The NVA's favored strategy for getting across the DMZ in the first place.

...our good friend [[FullMetalPanic Kaname Chidori]], who just so happens to share the same city (and in most cases, the same school) with HaruhiSuzumiya, [[CodeGeass Lelouch Lamperouge]], [[OuranHighSchoolHostClub Tamaki Suoh]], [[FruitsBasket Tohru Honda]], [[{{Negima}} Negi Springfield]], [[DeathNote Light Yagami]], [[{{Bleach}} Ichigo Kurosaki]], [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Saber]], [[BloodPlus Saya Otonashi]], [[ShakuganNoShana Shana]], [[{{Ptitlei5gydjrz}} Mio Akiyama]], [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Souji Seta]], [[VisualNovel/SchoolDays Kotonoha Katsura]], [[HayateTheCombatButler Hayate Ayasaki]], [[LightNovel/AngelBeats Yuri Nakamura]], [[{{AIR}} Misuzu Kamio]], [[{{Kanon}} Ayu Tsukimiya]], [[VisualNovel/{{Clannad}} Nagisa Furukawa]], [[NogizakaHarukaNoHimitsu Haruka Nogizaka]], and [[MegaCrossover perhaps the casts of just about every other school-based anime, manga, and video game in existence]]. (Lots of CanonDefilement was needed to shoehorn everybody in, by the way.) Kaname is still a Whispered, which means that she's a highly valued commodity to various parties (the American and Japanese governments, the KGB, and Colonel Volgin, to name a few). Which means everyone's favorite [[ChildSoldiers child soldier]], Sousuke Sagara, has been assigned to protect her.

* [[{{ptitlekt6mtovm4vne}} Recycled IN VIETNAM]]

* OneHandedIsCool: The way many of the students wield their pistols. Yuki Nagato and Shana also do this with P90s, while Rivalz Cardemonde does it with an Ingram MAC-10.

* TheCombatPragmatist: Sousuke, full stop. Other protagonists like Lelouch, Souji, and Ichigo also aren't the type to let something like "fighting fair" get in their way.

* MagicAIsMagicA, MinovskyParticle: Traditional alchemy operates according to a set of well-defined rules. Alter powers operate on the same framework, though certain aspects tend to violate the rules of traditional alchemy.

** BadassArmy: The U.S Army, obviously. Australia, Japan, unified Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Vietnam, and Thailand all get their due, though. The NVA is a villainous example, at least among those sections that still maintain some measure of discipline (see SociopathicSoldier).

** LawfulGood: Most members of the coalition militaries, Azusa Nakano, Nodoka Manabe, Suzaku Kururugi, Sayoko Shinozaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Uryu Ishida, Tatsuki Arisawa, Shirou Emiya, Saber, Shana, Wilhelmina Carmel, David and the Red Shield, Ryotaro and Nanako Dojima, Chie Satonaka, Naoto Shirogane.
** NeutralGood: Kaname Chidori, Yuki Nagato, Mikuru Asahina, Itsuki Koizumi, Mio Akiyama, Tsumugi Kotobuki, Orihime Inoue, Shirley Fenette, Kiritsugu Emiya, Rin Tohsaka, Sakura Matoh, Yuji Sakai, Saya Otonashi, Diva, Hagi, Negi Springfield, most members of Negi's homeroom class, Kazumi Yoshida, Mahoro Ando, Kotonoha Katsura (somewhere between here and TrueNeutral), Sekai Saionji (somewhere between here and TrueNeutral), Souji Seta, Yosuke Hanamura, Yukiko Amagi, Rise Kujikawa, Teddie, Tohru Honda.
** ChaoticGood: Sousuke Sagara, Haruhi Suzumiya, Kyon, Ryoko Asakura, Tsuruya, Yui Hirasawa, Ritsu Tainaka, Sawako Yamanaka, Ichigo Kurosaki, Chad Sado, Keigo Asano, Lelouch Lamperouge, Milly Ashford, Rivalz Cardemonde, Taiga Fujimura, Lancer, Rider, Berserker, Margery Daw, Kai Miyagusuku, Makoto Ito, Kanji Tatsumi.

** TrueNeutral: Rolo Lamperouge (with strong NeutralEvil leanings), Lloyd Asplund, Caster, Archer, Solomon Goldsmith, most of the Sohma family, Hinagiku Katsura, Haruka Nogizaka, Ryoma Echizen, Sena Kobayakawa.
** ChaoticNeutral: Rakshata Chawla, Nathan Mahler, Yuri Nakamura and the SSS, Tamaki Suoh, Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin, Youichi Hiruma.

* HaremHero: Makoto Ito starts as a Type 1 and later becomes a Type 2A. Kyon, Negi, Lelouch, and Souji are both Type 2B from the start.

* ICallItVera: Yui Hirasawa nicknames her Glock 18 and SIG-Sauer P226 "Glocky" and "Siggy," respectively. Mio Akiyama's Heckler & Koch [=HK417=] is named "Elizabeth," just like her Fender Jazz Bass.

** The Chiropterans are still immune to most pistol rounds and highly resistant to PDW and small-caliber rifle rounds, to the point where it requires an entire 30-round magazine from an M16 to take one down. 7.62x51mm NATO, 7.62x54mmR, and .338 Lapua Magnum are the bare minimum needed to reallyy harm a Chiropteran, while anything larger like .408 Chey-Tac or .50 BMG will easily take care of one with one or two headshots.

* GuileHero: Souji and Lelouch. Kyon, to an extent.

* TheMagicVersusTechnologyWar: Magic and techology now fight side-by-side.

* Determinator: Sousuke Sagara, Hayate Ayasaki, Ichigo Kurosaki, and Shirou Emiya, to name a few.

* UsefulNotes/FilipinosWithFirearms

* GoodGunsBadGuns: Inverted with the Steyr AUG, a "good" gun all the way through; the AussiesWithArtillery and some FilipinosWithFirearms use it, as do Ryoko Asakura, Saya Otonashi, Negi Springfield, Shirley Fenette, and Tsumugi Kotobuki. ([[AuthorAppeal Seriously, it fucking pisses off this troper to no end that the AUG is almost always a "bad" gun.]]) The SIG-Sauer P226 (some with stainless slides) and FN P90 are also strictly "good" guns.

* BattleCouple: Quite a few, actually. Kyon, Lelouch, Negi, and Souji have full-on Battle Harems.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Kotonoha Katsura. Full stop.

* BigFancyHouse: The Sanzen'in estate. Too bad Lelouch and Sousuke burn it to the ground. Tsumugi also has a pretty nice vacation house in the Philippines.

* CanucksWithChinooks and MexicansWithMachineGuns: Absorbed into the YanksWithTanks in the 19th century, thanks to the wonders of AlternateHistory.

* ChineseWithChopperSupport: A neutral party in this conflict, though they're obviously keeping an eye on what's happening to the south of them.
** TheDragonsTeeth: The Chinese keep a few nukes pointed at Hanoi just in case.

* FilipinosWithFirearms

* GoodGunsBadGuns: Inverted with the Steyr AUG, a "good" gun all the way through; the AussiesWithArtillery and some FilipinosWithFirearms use it, as do Ryoko Asakura, Saya Otonashi, Shirley Fenette, and Tsumugi Kotobuki. [[AuthorAppeal Seriously, it fucking pisses off this troper to no end that the AUG is almost always a "bad" gun.]] The SIG-Sauer P226 (some with stainless slides) and FN P90 are also strictly "good" guns.

* GunPorn: OF COURSE!

* HeroicSociopath: Rolo Lamperouge. Kotonoha Katsura is somewhere between this and AxCrazy.

* ICallItVera: Yui Hirasawa nicknames her Glock 18 and SIG-Sauer P226 "Glocky" and "Siggy," respectively. Mio's Heckler & Koch [=HK417=] is named "Elizabeth," just like her Fender Jazz Bass.

* KaijuDefenseForce: Without Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, however, they can now properly call themselves the Japanese Armed Forces. Again, AlternateHistory.

* [[SouthKoreansWithMarines Koreans With Marines]]: Just Koreans With Marines, seeing as the South won. See below.

* NeverBringAKnifeToAGunFight: Why Saber and Shana eventually toss their swords in favor of rifles and PDWs. Subverted with Saya, who keeps her katana for situations when her Steyr AUG doesn't suffice.

* OneHandedIsCool: The way many of the students wield their pistols. Yuki Nagato and Shana also do this with P90s.

* TheQuietOne: Sousuke, Naoto, and Yuki Nagato.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Haruhi Fujioka, a quarter of the Sohma family, and a good fraction of the SSS.

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Tsuruya's Pancor Jackhammer. Kanji Tatsumi, as well as a few of the YanksWithTanks and [[SouthKoreansWithMarines Koreans With Marines]], use the Daewoo USAS-12.

* SwordAndGun: Shana likes to do this with a katana and a P90.

* WouldNotShootACivilian: Some of the less disciplined elements of the NVA would.
* YanksWithTanks
* YouFailBasicTrainingForever: See AcceptableBreaksFromReality, RuleOfCool.

The intial story prompt was basically an ''ApocalypseNow'' ripoff with Roy Mustang and his unit (plus characters from ''FinalFantasyVII'', ''{{S-Cry-Ed}}'', and ''TalesOfSymphonia'' for some unfathomable reason [''S-Cry-Ed'' got to stay because Alters are somewhat similar to alchemy; both ''[=FFVII=]'' and ''[=ToS=]'' have been axed completely]) going to the jungles of Cambodia to track down the traitor King Bradley and his team of rogue alchemists and Alter users, who are collaborating with [[RenegadeRussian renegade Soviet]] [[MetalGearSolid Colonel Volgin]] on a [[MilitaryMashupMachine secret project]] that has the potential to shift the balance of power in favor of the North Vietnamese. Unfortunately for Volgin and his buddies, they need [[BlackBox a certain piece of Black Technology]] to transform their MilitaryMashupMachine from an AwesomeButImpractical GlassCannon to a LightningBruiser capable of surviving any counterattack from those damned YanksWithTanks. However, this particular section of the story has been more or less shelved in order to focus exclusively on...

** Played around with the Beretta 92FS and the M16 family (traditional "good" guns), used by both protagonists and antagonists alike. The protagonists also aren't averse towards picking up thoroughly "bad" guns AKMs and Makarovs to supplement their own considerable firepower.

* ICallItVera: Yui Hirasawa nicknames her Glock 18 and SIG-Sauer P226 "Glocky" and "Siggy," respectively. Mio's Heckler & Koch HK417 is named "Elizabeth," just like her Fender Jazz Bass.

* TheSpartanWay: Just like how Sousuke trained the rugby team in original ''Full Metal Panic!''

* TankGoodness: Mostly older stuff like M48A5 Pattons, PT-76s, and upgraded T-55s. The [=M1A2=] Abrams and Type 90 also get their fair share of exposure.

...our good friend [[FullMetalPanic Kaname Chidori]], who just so happens to share the same city (and in most cases, the same school) with HaruhiSuzumiya, [[CodeGeass Lelouch Lamperouge]], [[OuranHighSchoolHostClub Tamaki Suoh]], [[FruitsBasket Tohru Honda]], [[{{Negima}} Negi Springfield]], [[DeathNote Light Yagami]], [[{{Bleach}} Ichigo Kurosaki]], [[FateStayNight Saber]], [[BloodPlus Saya Otonashi]], [[ShakuganNoShana Shana]], [[{{Ptitlei5gydjrz}} Mio Akiyama]], [[Persona4 Souji Seta]], [[SchoolDays Kotonoha Katsura]], [[HayateTheCombatButler Hayate Ayasaki]], [[AngelBeats Yuri Nakamura]], [[{{AIR}} Misuzu Kamio]], [[{{Kanon}} Ayu Tsukimiya]], [[{{Clannad}} Nagisa Furukawa]], [[NogizakaHarukaNoHimitsu Haruka Nogizaka]], and [[MegaCrossover perhaps the casts of just about every other school-based anime, manga, and video game in existence]]. (Lots of CanonDefilement was needed to shoehorn everybody in, by the way.) Kaname is still a Whispered, which means that she's a highly valued commodity to various parties (the American and Japanese governments, the KGB, and Colonel Volgin, to name a few). Which means everyone's favorite [[ChildSoldiers child soldier]], Sousuke Sagara, has been assigned to protect her.

* Badass: Necessary for survival.

** BadassFamily: The Nogizakas are the first to come to mind.
* TookALevelInBadass: More like twenty levels for many of the resistance members who survived the ordeal, though clearly at great cost; see ShellShockedVeteran.
* BattleCouple: Quite a few, actually.

* BFG: Chad's Minigun and Yuki Nagato's Barrett M82.

* ColdSniper: Mana Tatsumiya, Uryu Ishida, and Lelouch Lamperouge. Yuki Nagato later becomes the epitome of one.

* CoolGuns: America and its allies have TONS of these. The NVA, not so much.

* CuteBruiser: Yuki Nagato, Ryoko Asakura, Ku Fei, [=Evangeline McDowell=], Shana...

* DyingLikeAnimals: Imagine the Tet Offensive in the modern day, times ten.

* FriendlySniper: Kurz Weber. Itsuki Koizumi, Mio Akiyama, and Milly Ashford later become friendly snipers as well.

* GoodGunsBadGuns: Subverted with the Steyr AUG, a "good" gun all the way through; the AussiesWithArtillery and some FilipinosWithFirearms use it, as do Ryoko Asakura, Saya Otonashi, Shirley Fenette, and Tsumugi Kotobuki.

* ICallItVera: Yui Hirasawa nicknames her Glock 18 and SIG-Sauer P226 "Glocky" and "Siggy," respectively.

** DropTheHammer, WrenchWhack: Don't let Sousuke near a toolbox.

* Jerkass: Kyoya Ohtori and the Hitachiin twins, for starters.

* MadScientist: Lloyd Asplund, Rakshata Chawla, and just about anyone else involved with Arm Slave and/or Knightmare Frame development (with the exception of Cécile Croomy). Nina Einstein is one in training.

* MilitaryBrat: Sousuke Sagara.

* MoreDakka: LeResistance just can't get enough. See also GatlingGood.

* TheQuietOne: Sousuke and Yuki Nagato, obviously.

* RareGuns: Tsuruya's Pancor Jackhammer and Chad's Minigun stand out, as do the Desert Eagles that somehow appear in the various weapons stockpiles.

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Tsuruya's Pancor Jackhammer and American and Korean special forces with Daewoo USAS-12s.

* TankGoodness: Ranging from M48 Pattons, T-55s, and Centurions all the way to [=M1A2=] Abrams, Type 90s, and K2 Black Panthers.

* UnwantedHarem: Averted. Kyon and Lelouch be big pimpin'.

* GoodGunsBadGuns: Rule of thumb: Colts, SIG-Sauers, and Fabrique Nationale guns for the good guys, and Makarovs, Tokarevs, and Kalashnikovs for the bad guys.

* RareGuns: Tsuruya's Pancor Jackhammer stands out, as do the Desert Eagles that somehow appear in the various weapons stockpiles

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Tsuruya's Pancor Jackhammer. Also, American and Korean special forces with Daewoo USAS-12s.

''Alchemist Jacket Panic'' is a fanfic idea by [[LelouchZero this troper]] that has been more or less in DevelopmentHell since mid-2006. While the name may hint at a simple [[XMeetsY X Meets Y Meets Z]] crossover (in this case, ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'' + ''FullMetalJacket'' + ''FullMetalPanic'', with all the implications that would follow), it was initially planned as much, '''MUCH''' more than that. Later revisions to the idea have seen entire series have their roles reduced significantly or outright removed.

The intial story prompt was basically an ''ApocalypseNow'' ripoff with Roy Mustang and his unit (plus characters from ''FinalFantasyVII'', ''{{S-Cry-Ed}}'', and ''TalesOfSymphonia'' for some unfathomable reason [''S-Cry-Ed'' got to stay because Alters are somewhat similar to alchemy; ''[=FFVII=]'' has been trimmed significantly to a few bit parts, and ''[=ToS=]'' have been axed completely]) going to the jungles of Cambodia to track down the traitor King Bradley and his team of rogue alchemists and Alter users, who are collaborating with [[RenegadeRussian renegade Soviet]] [[MetalGearSolid Colonel Volgin]] on a [[MilitaryMashupMachine secret project]] that has the potential to shift the balance of power in favor of the North Vietnamese. Unfortunately for Volgin and his buddies, they need [[BlackBox a certain piece of Black Technology]] to transform their MilitaryMashupMachine from an AwesomeButImpractical GlassCannon to a LightningBruiser capable of surviving any counterattack from those damned YanksWithTanks...

Enter our good friend [[FullMetalPanic Kaname Chidori]], who just so happens to share the same city (and in most cases, the same school) with HaruhiSuzumiya, [[CodeGeass Lelouch Lamperouge]], [[OuranHighSchoolHostClub Tamaki Suoh]], [[FruitsBasket Tohru Honda]], [[{{Negima}} Negi Springfield]], [[DeathNote Light Yagami]], [[{{Bleach}} Ichigo Kurosaki]], [[FateStayNight Saber]], [[BloodPlus Saya Otonashi]], [[ShakuganNoShana Shana]], [[{{Ptitlei5gydjrz}} Mio Akiyama]], [[SchoolDays Kotonoha Katsura]], [[YuYuHakusho Yusuke Urameshi]], [[HayateTheCombatButler Hayate Ayasaki]], and [[MegaCrossover perhaps the casts of just about every other school-based anime, manga, and H-game in existence]]. (Lots of CanonDefilement was needed to shoehorn everybody in, by the way.) Kaname is still a Whispered, which means that she's a highly valued commodity to various parties (the American and Japanese governments, Colonel Volgin, and [[KingdomHearts a certain curiously named terrorist organization]], to name a few). Which means everyone's favorite [[ChildSoldiers child soldier]], Sousuke Sagara, has been assigned to protect her.

* AcceptableBreaksFromReality

** HighSchoolAU: Partially.
* AnachronismStew: To a certain degree. Viet Cong and Khmer Rouge remnant forces tend to mix WorldWarII leftovers with more modern Soviet arms, the South Vietnamese operate hand-me-down American equipment like [[TankGoodness M48A5 Pattons]] and [[CoolPlane F-8 Crusaders]] alongside more modern gear, et cetera...

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Shagohod and the Siegfried.
* BackToBackBadasses: Bound to happen.
* BadWriting: Pick any of the tropes there, they might have applied to the finished product.
* BadassArmy: All the armies involved are this.
* BadassCrew

* ChildSoldiers

* CrazyPrepared: Sousuke Sagara.

* CustomUniform: Gakuran and sailor fuku + bulletproof vests and helmets.

* {{Demonization}}, {{Flanderization}}: Some characters would have been especially prone to this.
* DevelopmentHell
* DressingAsTheEnemy: Done by both sides with mixed results.
* DrivenToVillainy: Quite a few of LesCollaborateurs (Tamaki Suoh, Tohru Honda, Hayate Ayasaki, Yusuke Urameshi's gang) were forced into that position.
* TheEngineer: Any alchemist worth his salt can act as one.

* FireForgedFriends: By way of time spent in LaResistance.
* FriendlySniper: Kurz Weber. Itsuki Koizumi and Mio Akiyama later become friendly snipers as well.
* GatlingGood: Chad Sado and Alex Louis Armstrong are the only ones sufficiently strong enough to carry an M134 Minigun, plus the ammo and power supply unit. Both their Miniguns had to be modified first, however.

* GoodGunsBadGuns
* GoodLookingPrivates
* {{Handguns}}: Mostly Berettas, Colts, and SIG-Sauers for the good guys and Makarovs and Tokarevs for the bad guys.

* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: Sousuke tries to avert this by giving impromptu lessons on basic gun safety to his classmates once the fighting starts. Most of them catch on very quickly.

** The Chiropterans are still immune to small-caliber rounds, however; 7.62x51mm NATO, 7.62x54mmR, and .338 Lapua Magnum are the bare minimum needed to harm one, while anything larger like .408 Chey-Tac or .50 BMG will easily take care of one with a few shots to the head.
* ImprobableAge: Sousuke Sagara, Negi Springfield, and the Elric brothers, obviously.
* InfantImmortality: Averted...hopefully.
* InsertGrenadeHere

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kazuma, Haruhi Suzumiya and Evangeline [=McDowell=], among others.

* TheKoreanWar: Thanks to Chinese apathy, America and South Korea win in 1950.

* LesCollaborateurs: The Host Club, the Sohma family and its associates, Yusuke Urameshi's gang, and Nagi Sanzen'in and her associates.

* MadScientist: Lloyd Asplund, Rakshata Chawla, and anyone else involved with Arm Slave and/or Knightmare Frame development, as well as Doctors Sokolov and Granin. Nina Einstein is one in training.

* MilitaryMashupMachine: The Shagohod.
* MilitaryMaverick: Roy Mustang.

* MoreDakka: Once the fighting starts in Hue, Haruhi Suzumiya uses an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimax_100 Ultimax 100]], while Ritsu Tainaka uses a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daewoo_K3 Daewoo K3]]. Also see GatlingGood above.

* NoKoreansInJapan: Korean and Japanese soldiers [[{{Understatement}} don't get along very well.]]

* OccupiersOutOfOurCountry
* OneHandedIsCool: The way many of the students wield their pistols. Yuki Nagato and Shana can also do this with P90s.
* OrchestralBombing

* TheQuisling: Those among LesCollaborateurs who went over willingly are this.
* RareGuns: Tsuruya's Pancor Jackhammer.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath
* RedChina: Partially; the Communists and Nationalists were able to negotiate a truce at the end of WorldWarII, leading to the development of a two-party democracy that has managed to on the good side of both the Americans and Soviets throughout the ColdWar so far. Say it once more...AlternateHistory.

* TheRemnant: The Viet Cong and the Khmer Rouge.
