History DarthWiki / TalesOfMystrica

* CuteGhostGirl: Lorraine. Complete with a [[TastesLikeDiabetes sickeningly sweet]] and melodic voice. [[CuteAndPsycho Kind of unsettling given her sadistic personality]].

* SpeciesEqualsGender: There are a few Mystripets who Digimorph to something different depending on their gender. Typically, the difference reflects gender stereotypes or species sex differences - the dairy cow-based Laidy vs. the disco bull Bufro, {{kitsune}}-based Vixenine vs. [[CunningLikeAFox rogue-ish fox]] Larcenard, etc.

* SupernaturalIsPurple: He wears a purple coat.

* {{Meganekko}}, since she wears glasses.

* EverythingsBetterWithCows: Mooder and its Digimorphs.

* '''[[JungleJapes Otori Jungle]]:''' (Magic spot - Air) A miniature [[TheAmazon rainforest]] in southeastern Mystrica. Lots of rain falls here, providing the nearby town of Moondance with plenty of water. Many tropical birds inhabit this jungle, which of course turned evil after the lockdown. In the center is a [[TempleOfDoom temple]] where the boss, a panda with avian attendants, can be found.

** Yamiko: Milk (actually soymilk, since she's lactose-intolerant) - makes sense for someone unstable as her since it's one of the "safer" drinks. Sometimes mixed in with [[SpotOfTea tea]].

'''Panther:''' A loud and flirty BikerBabe, she was originally in a motorcycle gang called the Freebirds, but eventually changed her alliance. Though she is strong (both in head and [[AmazonianBeauty in body]]) and [[ActionGirl athletic]], she is surprisingly competent at [[ClassyCatBurglar sneaking around on foot]], thus being a good fit for the Black Cat Bandits. Additionally, she is Warren's long-lost older sister, and both of them share the guilty pleasure of loving cartoons.

* FingerlessGloves: She wears long black ones that are completely fingerless, probably just to match her already dark-coloured outfit.

* FingerlessGloves: He wears them, partly to keep his hands warm at night, partly to help hide his hands while pickpocketing, and partly because he just doesn't like showing skin.

* BeardOfEvil: Subverted - Halberd is actually one of the good guys. However, his goatee helps in making him look more intimidating to strangers. Especially when coupled with a BadassMustache and a CarpetOfVirility... though he hardly ever shows the latter.

* ALoadOfBull: Bufro is a ''disco'' bull.

* Effect attacks don't do any damage, but they have other effects, like [[StatusBuff altering stats]] or causing [[StandardStatusEffects status problems]].

Have you ever wanted to live in a virtual world? Where the natural laws are relaxed a bit, but otherwise it feels just like real-world Earth, albeit more whimsical. This world, called Mystrica, features lots of themed towns and other places to explore, each of which is inhabited by quirky creatures ([[SarcasmMode I swear they're friendly]]). Additionally, there are other more "civilized" creatures called [[{{Mon}} Mystripets]], which can be [[CaptainObvious kept as pets]]. Mystripets make great travel companions, and can protect you from any danger with their unique powers. Come participate in the revolutionary [[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame MMORPG]] that breaks the boundaries of a screen!

* '''[[BubblyClouds Cloudy Park]]:''' A [[PhysicalHeaven heavenly world]] [[TheShangriLa in the clouds surrounding Mt. Mystic]]. Mostly inhabited by lamb-like Mystripet Lamuchi, it serves as a healing spot during travelers' treacherous climb up the mountain.

* GiantFlyer: Lavaroc, Auroracle, and Cerula. All three are [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons dragons]].

* FlowerInHerHair: A flower barrette, actually.

* [[{{Strength}} Melee]], [[{{Dexterity}} Ranged]], and [[{{Intelligence}} Magic]] attacks do damage, and each of these types correspond to separate Offense stats. Each Mystripet species has different base amounts of each Offense stat.
** [[{{Constitution}} Defense]] affects damage from Melee or Ranged attacks. [[{{Wisdom}} Will]] affects damage from Magic attacks. Again, each Mystripet species has different amounts of each Defense stat.

* WomanInWhite: Her outfit is mostly white--except for her boots and her hair, which are black. This is pretty symbolic in itself, as while she has that air of mystery and subtle madness about her, underneath she wears a [[{{Stripperiffic}} skimpy all-black outfit]], indicating her brutally selfish motives towards the end.

* DrinkOrder: Each human character has a distinct one, usually fitting their character perfectly:

* TheVamp: [[AnimalMotifs Obviously]], demon spider[[note]][[IThoughtItMeant no, not]] [[DemonicSpider that one]][[/note]] Aracubus fits this trope. Complete with seductive techniques like its signature KissOfDeath.

* HavingABlast: The Nova enemies (Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, and Ultranova) start a [[TimeBomb countdown]] and then [[StuffBlowingUp explode]], hitting the [[HerdHittingAttack entire party]] with [[ForMassiveDamage massive damage]]. Additionally, hitting them with a Melee attack will cause them to explode automatically - this implies that they are MadeOfExplodium.

* ImGoingToHellForThis: Lupin frequently thinks (and sometimes mentions) this with regards to thievery, and a few characters (primarily Ashleigh, Phoebe, and Mr. D) [[SeeYouInHell call him out on it]]. But regardless, [[HellSeeker it remains his greatest passion]].

** Merlin is the Partner in Crime, and occasionally fills the role of Distraction and Driver as well.

* DepletedPhlebotinumShells: An interesting example occurs with the robots - the protagonists are at some point able to use "Glitch Bombs" which infect the robot's computer systems thus rendering it useless. This also works on any other electronic device.

* {{EMP}}: There is a general Thunder Magic attack called Battery Pulse, which does double damage on robots and Stuns them. Which helps, because the robots are otherwise immune to magic (being Machine class).
** The Glitch Bombs mentioned above also qualify.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: In the first chapter, the tour guide leading Phoebe's group into Mystrica is [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep actually named Tour Guide]]. [[spoiler:Or not - actually he's Warren of the Black Cat Bandits.]]

** To make things even ''more'' complicated, throw [[DatingCatwoman Panther's brief affair with Lupin]] into the mix and it becomes a love square. And if you count Yamiko's feelings for Merlin who loves Ashleigh who prefers someone like Mr. D, and Panther's unrequited feelings for Daisuke who ends up in a relationship with Warren who has an inappropriate crush on Gon... [[LoveDodecahedron you have a mess]].

* YouMustBeCold: Mr. D loves to wrap Yamiko in his coat on a cold night, even though she already has a shawl protecting her. Hilariously enough, at one point Yamiko drapes said shawl over Gon when he looks cold, and Halberd does it to Lupin at one point as well.

* '''[[EvilIsBurningHot Mt. Diavolo]]:''' (Magic spot - Fire) An [[LethalLavaLand active volcano]] nestled within the southern part of the Ashy Mountains, easily visible from both Alpenhaus and Necromere. Traveling down the rocky trail alongside it from the former to the latter has been described as "descending from Heaven down into Hell". The boss is the [[BurnTheWitch Burning Witch]], set up as a reminder of what will happen to her twin sister Sinistrina if she ever leaves Necromere.

* '''[[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace Necromere]]:''' Located at the foot of the Ashy Mountains and near Bogmire Swamp, this [[HalloweenTown desolate town]] is the scene of numerous hauntings due to it being a [[ElephantGraveyard morgue of sorts for those who die in Mystrica]], so it's [[ForbiddenZone only the bravest of heart who live here]] (if anybody). It's also populated by a few undead keeper-less Mystripets. The mayor, a witch by the name of Sinistrina von Schwarzwald (said to have been banished here by her sister Lucina of Alpenhaus), is the only person living here, so instead she holds the responsibility of keeping all the spirits in check.

* GuestStarPartyMember: Occasionally the mayor of a nearby town will accompany you in a magic spot. For example, Foseena (mayor of Acuato) joins you while exploring Rainbow Reef, and Sinistrina (mayor of Necromere) can help you through the Morgue. A few other mayors (Lucifer, Marie-Celestine, Duke Corven, Lucina, and Rama) will offer to join you if you get too many game overs in adjacent magic spots (Mesozoic, Cartespade Cathedral, Lemon Factory, Toybox Park, and Otori Jungle, respectively).

* PeninsulaOfPowerLeveling: The Morgue has the potential to be this. You get Sinistrina as an OptionalPartyMember for it, and while she can't help you with the boss, she is ''very'' useful for enemy battles, having a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Necromant]] who Sinistrina will AutoRevive (along with any other Undead Mystripets) even if it's not KO'd by a Melee attack, a PP-restoring technique for undead pets, a [[HerdHittingAttack multi-target]] Magic attack in case your Mystripets use mostly Melee attacks, and also automatically reviving any non-Undead Mystripets at 1HP (once per turn). The latter means it's impossible to get a game over while Sinistrina's in the party, as on a given turn you'll always have at least one surviving Mystripet. This makes the Morgue a good safe place to grind, at least until you defeat the Spirit Board.

* {{Gayngster}}: He's gay, much to Panther's disappointment. Doesn't [[ManlyGay stop him from being]] [[{{Badass}} a formidable gang leader]].

* CombatDiplomacyStealth: The Black Cat Bandits assign these roles to three of their members: Halberd, Warren, and Lupin, respectively. Panther, being the {{Badass}} she is, can do all three pretty well.

** Shin: Black coffee, being the {{Badass}} he is

* WomanInBlack: Subverted - she ''seems'' kind of intimidating, given the all-black and almost completely-covering black leather outfit she wears most of the time (especially while on a motorcycle), and can actually ''be'' intimidating at times, but she's actually really bubbly and outgoing.

* EarsAsHair: [[InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja Ninja rabbit]] Musagi has this - long and flowing ears "tied back" by its [[MartialArtsHeadband headband]].

* '''[[{{Wutai}} Silver Hollow]]:''' Located west of the Rocky Hills in a lush area surrounded by trees, almost completely surrounded by Crescent Lake. The town is a bit reminiscent of Kyoto, home to great natural beauty and historic fantastical myths, and the large golden [[ShrinesAndTemples Bamboo Shrine]] in the centre. The maiden of Bamboo Shrine, {{Miko}} [[MoonRabbit Usatsuki]], is the mayor of the town.

* SnakesAreSinister: Optilisk takes this UpToEleven with all the ExtraEyes covering its body and the GiantEyeOfDoom on its tail, plus its HypnoticEyes capable of a DeathlyGaze... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and it's a giant cobra]].

* '''[[PortTown Seaport City]]:''' Located on the northern coast of Mystrica, this is the [[FirstTown starting place of new inhabitants]]. It is located adjacent to a [[GetOnTheBoat tunnel that runs between Mystrica and the real world]]. The mayor is Vi Willow herself.

* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Inverted with Yamiko and Mr. D. Averted with Yamiko and Lupin, since both of them are brooding - the other Black Cat Bandits (particularly Halberd and Merlin) are the gentle ones in this case, providing support for them.

* ChekhovsGunman: Lupin could qualify, since he is first introduced as the mysterious person who turned in Yamiko's Scanner. While he doesn't actually appear then, he does include his name on the [[CallingCard note he writes to her]] along with the Scanner. He doesn't make his actual appearance until after the Guardians split up.

* FantasticFireworks: Fire wizard Flamella's specialty move, Fireworks, uses these to cause damage.

* FlamingHair: Ferno and Pyrobic are basically fireballs with faces, so this is obviously in play.

* GoodAngelBadAngel: Luciel, being an actual angel, has these in the form of ''Digimorphs''. [[CelestialParagonsAndArchangels Lumenora]] is the good angel; [[FallenAngel Luceraph]] is the bad angel.

* InstantRunes: The family of Lumisphere, Magiclair, and their fusion Illumagus use these in one or two of their specialty moves.

* PerplexingPearlProduction: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] by Altran, since its "pearl" is actually a crystal ball. Makes you wonder how said ball got there though - perhaps stolen from a fortune-teller?

* {{Planimal}}: The Alola family consists of dinosaurs with leaves attached to them. Dandeleo is a lion with a flowery mane.

** '''The Morgue:''' (Magic spot - Spirit) Actually it's closer to a [[CreepyCemetery cemetery]]. Located in Necromere, this is a [[CorpseLand dumping ground for dead bodies]], both Mystripet and human. Though the smell is taken care of through mushroom-growing and incineration with Mt. Diavolo lava, a lot of [[NightOfTheLivingMooks unpleasant spirits and undead creatures]] [[WhenTreesAttack and even spooky trees]] live here.

* Like Digimon (and unlike Pokemon), they are perfectly capable of speaking human language.

* '''Acuato:''' This unique town is located off the northeastern coast of Mystrica, and is [[UnderwaterCity completely underwater]]. The town fits inside a gigantic glass bubble connected to Playa del Ganador via a [[SharkTunnel tunnel]]. Defying the laws of physics, there is a hole in the bubble on the far side of town, which from the inside looks like a pond. This pond is home to Queen Foseena, a merporpoise whose magic is responsible for keeping the sea water out of Acuato.

* DragonsUpTheYinYang: Serpendine and [[OlympusMons Cerula]] are based off of eastern dragons. Technically, so is Qingrila.

* SpeciesEqualsGender: There are a few Mystripets who Digimorph to something different depending on their gender. Typically, the difference reflects gender stereotypes or species sex differences - the dairy cow-based Laidy vs. the disco bull Bufro, kitsune-based Vixenine vs. [[LovableRogue rogue-ish fox]] Larcenard, etc.

* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Luceraph, the fallen angel who is one of two Digimorphs from Luciel, has white hair, and is Undead class... but with the interesting elemental combination of [[YinYangBomb Light/Darkness]].
* TheMarvelousDeer: Fawna and all its Digimorphs, though not quite as mythical.
