Added DiffLines:
''[[http://the-hetalia-rp.deviantart.com/ The-Hetalia-RP]]'' is a roleplay for, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Hetalia]]. Hosted on Website/{{DeviantART}}, like its [[Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers original source work]], it centers around a group of [[MoeAnthropomorphism anthropomorphized]] nations and their strange adventures.
Its main plot is set in present day, in the seemingly normal world. And, had one not spent a lot of time roleplaying in the group, the world would seem bleakly normal. With elements of "AlternateHistory", and points in the roleplay's plot that are based off of current ''real'' life-history, it's not a surprise that to most, it seems like your average, basic RP. However it actually has a very heavy undertone of adventure, primarily in the form of {{magical realism}}.
With plots generally centric on the more active of RP-ers, fate usually ends up in the hands of [[AccidentalHero England]], [[OnlySaneMan Japan]], [[BoisterousBruiser America]],[[GenkiGirl Seychelles]], and [[HotBlooded Prussia]].

!!Character tropes:
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Uk.bmp]]
!!''England - Arthur Kirkland''
->Played by [[http://iggyluv333.deviantart.com/ IggyLuv333]]
A snarky, eccentric young man with a very [[{{Tsundere}} hot and cold]] personality, England is a wizard who starts out as very [[{{IneptMage}} bad with his magic]]. After receiving a [[AmuletofConcentratedAwesome magical pendant]] however, Arthur becomes much more capable and powerful, though this gift comes with [[ComesGreatResponsibility consequences]]. Due to his rather impulsive nature with magic, the Briton must learn how to control both his powers and temperament, as when paired, the two often lead to great disaster.
A main component of the storyline revolves around the antics caused by his powers, directly or indirectly, and the CharacterDevelopment which ensues.
-------
!!Tropes that apply to England:
* AmazingFreakingGrace: As per his ringtone in the manga, this is also used for the roleplay.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Scotland and Ireland.
* BerserkButton: Making jokes about his height is bound to land you a punch in the face.
* BigOlEyebrows: The king of them. In fact, Prussia's nickname for England is "Eyebrows" in the RP.
** He apparently grew them out to appear older. Of course the side effect of this is being copiously made fun of, it seems as though he would rather that than be treated like a teenager still.
* BlackMagic: His specialty, while he can use both Black and White, he appears to prefer the former.
* BritishStuffiness: {{Subverted}}, while he can act rather stuffy and snobbish at times, due to his HairTriggerTemper, [[ClusterFBomb foul mouth]], and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} stranger beliefs]], he manages to balance out his quirks and attitude. In the beginning of the roleplay, he started out much more like this though.
* CassandraTruth: England can see magical creatures and use magic, but it takes quite the plenty of incidents before anyone actually starts to BELIEVE in magic.
%%* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Scotland's Abel.
%%** America is apparently still half-convinced England is just an alien. England is not pleased by this.
* CloakAndDagger: The best spy of the bunch.
* CloudCuckooLander: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] - while initially comig off as the OnlySaneMan, upon further analysis it is revealed that not only is he NotSoAboveItAll, but even so far down that he is very often the ''cause'' of it all.
* ClusterFBomb: Swears like a sailor, [[UsefulNotes/TheBritishEmpire fittingly]].
* CoolLoser: Despite being a very wealthy and prominent nation in the world, England prefers a "loner" status with the rest of the world, and aims for this sort of reputation instead.
* CoolSword: [[spoiler: During the incident with the Entropy, Arthur gains one that is compatible with his [[PowerCrystal pendant]].]]
* ConsummateLiar: A very convincing liar, as he usually goes towards [[MetaphoricallyTrue truth twisting]] tactics.
* CovertPervert: Despite being a self-declared gentleman, is the most sexually active character in the roleplay with a good share of kinks.
* CutenessProximity: With his fairies and other magical friends.
** This also very much extends to young children, and [[spoiler: is his main reason for wanting to have one]].
* DeadpanSnarker: So very much.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Starts out as a [[{{Tsundere}} very]] [[IceQueen cold]] and [[StiffUpperLip rigidly]] [[GentlemanSnarker polite]] sort of character, however over the year or so he's melted into a much more personable fellow. May even count as a SugarAndIcePersonality, as with his friends he has become very quirky and eccentric, however around newcomers or people he simply doesn't like, he throws himself back into the deep-freeze.
%%* GentlemanSnarker: Tries for it.
* ShesGotLegs: Definitely so. The only reason he likes to wear shorts when it's warm enough.
%%* HiddenDepths
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: When he's not being {{tsundere}}, is generally being this.
* MoralityPet: America. Tends to get much [[{{Jerkass}} bitchier and downright mean]] when not with him for long amounts of time.
* NightmareFetishist: Has a strong attachement to darker things, to the point of freaking people out sometimes.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Has defrosted somewhat from his outright {{tsundere}} beginnings, into this with his friends.
%%* {{Tsundere}}: Starts as a type A. [[DefrostingIceQueen begins to defrost into not quite a type B yet]], but more [[SugarAndIcePersonality in between]]. Easily snaps back into it around people he is uncomfortable around though.
* TheUnfavorite: Amongst his brothers.
* WhenSheSmiles: While he is prone to smirking and grinning often enough, his true, genuine smile is a much more rare, pretty sight to see.
!!''Prussia - Gilbert Beilschmidt''
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Prussia.bmp]]
->Also played by [[http://iggyluv333.deviantart.com/ IggyLuv333]]
The loud, [[SmallNameBigEgo egocentric]] {{lancer}} to England, Prussia seems to be too full of himself to do anything useful. However, despite his [[BadassNormal non-nation standing]], Prussia is definitely more than capable of [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass holding his own]].
While Prussia's story seems a bit more ordinary ([[EpilepticTrees maybe]]) than the rest, it's far from being dull.
Much of Prussia's development involves overcoming his cocky attitude, as well as opening his heart a little to his friends and [[spoiler: girlfriend]] eventually.
----
!!Tropes that apply to Prussia:
%%* ActionSurvivor: In the beginning. Takes a more proactive role in later installments.
* AttentionWhore: "Her thoughts should be on me, 100% of the time, NO EXCEPTIONS! In fact, everyone's really should be, I don't care how selfish it sounds."
* BadassNormal: Considering the situations he's been thrown into, it's pretty impressive he's come out nearly unscathed.
* BasementDweller: Before he [[spoiler: moved in with Seychelles]], he had a room in Germany's basement.
* BeneathTheMask: Acts like an arrogant jerk 90% of the time, but can occasionally slip into a kinder, more stoic persona under the right amount of pressure.
%%* BigBrotherMentor:
%%** Was one to the Holy Roman Empire.
%%** As well as England, when England was a little boy living with Saxony.
%%** America, during the American Revolution.
%%* BloodKnight: As a part of the Teutonic Knights.
* {{Narcissist}}: His dream fantasy is to have sex with himself.
%%* TheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: With England on occasion.
!!''America - Alfred F. Jones''
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/America.bmp]]
-> Played by [[http://chasserlematin.deviantart.com/ ChasserLeMatin]]
----
!!Tropes that apply to America:
%%* AmericaSavesTheDay: He likes to.
* AttentionWhore: Maybe not as bad as Prussia, but still pretty bad.
* BerserkButton: Calling America fat is a surefire way to get yourself punched in the face.
** As is hitting on England. Or injuring him for that matter.
* BigEater: The king of big eating, unhealthily at that. He never gets fat though, despite how his friends may occaisionally tease him about it.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: He HAS to be the hero.
* ClusterFBomb: Not as bad as England's, but he definitely has a potty mouth.
%%* IdiotHair: And it represents Nantucket!
* LargeHam: America is extremely energetic and loud, being a bit of an {{attention whore}}.
* ManChild: Very idealistic, and has a lot of childish interests. [[HehHehYouSaidX And he doesn't exactly have the most refined sense of humor for that matter.]]
%%* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl
%%* TotallyRadical: Sometimes he verges into this territory.
----
!!''The-Hetalia-RP'' contains examples of:
* ABoyAndHisX: An Antarctica and her Sonic (the name of a dog, not the [[NamesTheSame actual ''character'']] Franchise/{{Sonic|TheHedgehog}}), a Prussia and his Gilbird, and an Ireland and his Daniel.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Like the Arthurian sword it originated from, {{Excalibur}}.
* AcademyOfAdventure: The academy the Kirkland brothers attended in the [[MagicLand Other Realm]] when they were teenagers and hit their powers, for only a couple years.
** Also some of the [[HighSchoolAU Gakuen Hetalia]] alternate universe roleplays are set up as such.
* AffectionateParody: Both of its [[Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers original source work]] AND modern history itself. Not to mention all of the different plots parodying things found in fairytales to things found in Victorian Romance novels, the roleplay incoorporates a lot of parodies and [[ShoutOut shout outs]].
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: {{Averted}}, oh so averted. More or less all love is mercilessly and [[PlayedForLaughs laughably]] EXTREMELY requited...for [[BizarroEpisode about a day]]. And then, [[LetUsNeverSpeakofThisAgain never mentioned again. Ever.]]
** Played straight with England's crush on America..[[spoiler: [[AccidentalPublicConfession until, it wasn't.]]]]
** Was {{Averted}}, then played straight, then [[spoiler: averted again]] with Prussia and Seychelles.
* AllThereInTheManual: As this is a Website/{{DeviantART}} {{Play By Post Game|s}}, with many of the players owning different accounts for their characters, their are certain plot points with each character that would be impossible to understand had you not read their DA Journal, or looked in their comments. The "manual" is very useful at times, as it often serves as a [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools tool]] for the RP.
* AllMythsAreTrue: Played with. While it seems that a lot of myths turn out to be true, only to certain degrees, such as vampires being unable to tolerate the sun, or fairytales coming true.
** [[HintDropping Hinted at]] with Arthur and the legend of Myth/KingArthur.
* [[AmbiguouslyJewish Ambiguously Christian]]: Prussia seems to be secretly quite devout to some Christian denomination. Which one exactly, is the ambiguity. Being that he was a [[UsefulNotes/TheTeutonicKnights Teutonic Knight]] in his past, this is unsurprising.
%%* AmusingInjuries: Poor poor Prussia has a tendency to suffer these.
%%** Wales becomes the primary [[ButtMonkey victim]] later though, it seems.
* AnachronicOrder: The entires 'Neighbors' universe.
%%* Angrish: "ASDFGHJKL".
%%* AnimalReactionShot: A few times with Antarctica's dog Sonic.
%%* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: How England feels about Sealand.
%%* AnAxeToGrind: England features one of these in ''Attack of the AU Zombies''.
%%** As does Denmark in Main Universe.
%%* AnythingThatMoves: France, unsurprisingly.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Wizards apparently scoff at the idea of aliens. Especially England.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Usually irrelevant due to supernatural forces being at work, but also surprisingly subverted in that the Laws of Thermodynamics are maintained by stating that magic is fueled by an external power source, creepily, human soul energy. Hence the reason so many wizards seem to inhabit Earth rather than any other planet, closer to their power source.
* AttractiveBentGender: Romano (or "Romana" as she was renamed) and Norway, when England used a spell to bend their genders.
** Also England himself has the capacity to [[EvenTheGuysWantHim turn heads]] while in convincing drag.
* ArtShift: Demonstrated with Icons and {{Emoticon}}s, or simply words, everyone does this at some point or another.
* AscendedExtra: Over half of the cast... scratch that, three-fourths are very much this. With a few {{Original Character}}s, and some who have only been mentioned in the series by character design or NAME, the amount of extras in the roleplay greatly outnumbers the amount of main characters.
** Funnily enough the two ''actual'' main characters of Hetalia aren't yet filled. That's right, no Germany or Italy.
* AnguishedDeclarationofLove: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in ''Adventure to Atlantis'', in which Antarctica TRIES to give this to England when the submarine was sinking, but England never really caught it.
* BattleCouple: What [[spoiler: America and England]] appear to be turning into as of the late.
* BeachEpisode: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], numerous times, in that it's been ''suggested'' at least 5 or 6 times, but is ALWAYS diverted by England somehow, due to a [[SuperDrowningSkills certain problem of his.]]
** PlayedStraight however when the gang is taken to vacation at Seychelles's house and he is forced to [[FaceYourFears face his fears]] ... and nearly ends up drowning.
* BedmateReveal: Once, with Japan and England. Cue [[HilarityEnsues Antarctica walking in]] and a major NotWhatItLooksLike (and it really wasn't) moment and Antarctica freaking out.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Between.... everyone, sooner or later.
** Primarily between [[RomanticFalseLead Antarctica]] and England, [[FirstGirlWins America and England]], [[BetaCouple Prussia and Seychelles]], and depending how you interpret it, possibly [[FoeYay Prussia and England]].
* BetaCouple: When [[spoiler: America and England]] finally end up getting together, despite their own personality quirks and numerous amount of petty arguments, they prove to be the most stable relationship within the RP. Therefore, they serve as this to many of the budding couples within the RP, particularly [[spoiler: Seychelles and Prussia]].
** However the scenario seems to switch since the latter couple settled down, depending on the roleplay.
* BetterAsFriends: Prussia and England initially decided this, before becoming enemies.
* BettyAndVeronica: Antarctica and America for England, respectively.
** Haiti and Prussia for Seychelles
** [[spoiler: Both Veronicas win.]]
* BerserkButton: If you value your life..[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments DON'T. CALL. AMERICA. FAT.]]
** On that note, [[SugarWiki/MomentofAwesome if you EVER hurt England, prepare to be in a world of pain,]] [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch ''bitch.'']]
*** Really, don't press ANY of America's berserk buttons. It's just, not going to go well.
** [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking And don't you DARE insult England's height, whatever you do.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Seychelles has her moments.
** Japan, too.
* BigApplesauce: Where much of the plot takes place after England moves in with America. Beforehand, it was in London.
* BigBrotherMentor: America was this to Antarctica when she was growing up.
** As was England to America.
** France ''wanted'' to be this to England when he was a child.
* BigDamnHero: America ''tries''.
** And yet, it often ends up England. Oh sweet {{irony}}.
** Everyone pretty much gets a BDH moment, per plot point.
* BigEater: America, most obviously.
** China appears to be something of this as well.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: England, oh dear England. First off, he has 4 big brothers who beat the [[TheUnfavorite hell out of him one minute]], and are all [[BigBrotherInstinct lovey-dovey the next]], and a little one who enjoys [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling annoying him]] and [[BrattyHalfPint treating him like crap]].
*** Then when you take all of England's [[UsefulNotes/TheCommonwealthOfNations former colonies]] into account... England is the perfect in-RP-universe example of this trope.
** It seems Prussia's BigScrewedUpFamily would also be a good example as well.
* BigOlEyebrows: England, and at least half of his relatives.
* BigShutUp: England and Romano are both prone to yelling this (unsurprisingly considering their [[{{Tsundere}} character types]]), and funnily enough, often at each other.
* BizarroEpisode:''She Locks Her Home!'' (A Sherlock Holmes parody) deserves a special mention, as that entire roleplay was just BLAM turned UpToEleven with major {{Out Of Character Moment}}s for Seychelles, England, and Antarctica, complete with [[CrackFic super-crack-RP!elements]] and {{This Is Your Premise on Drugs}}. Did we mention, turned UpToEleven? [[spoiler: But don't worry, it was AllJustADream anyway.]]
* BladeOnAStick: In the aforementioned ''Attack of the AU Zombies'', this was Antarctica's personal weapon of choice.
* BlindIdiotTranslation: ...Google Translate, anyone?
** This is later Averted later on as the roleplayers themselves begin to get more experienced.
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: In the Gakuen!Punk AU..
-->'''America''': C'moooon. Please? With sugar and ice cream and mustaches on top?
-->'''England''': [[LampshadeHanging First off, the mustaches are completely repulsive]], and secondly, no! You wouldn't understand the story anyway!! You don't even know what it's about!!
* BreakTheCutie: How England ended up developing some of his more [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] tendencies.
** Prussia when Holy Roman Empire was killed.
** America for a while during the Nega plot, however he gets better.
* TheBusCameBack: For Prussia, who for a few months took a leave of absence per the [=RPer=]'s lack of interest in him. However, eventually he returned, and quickly re-established himself as a regular character, if not more so than before.
* ButtMonkey: For how "awesome" Prussia is, he certainly does get some rather butt monkey-ish treatment by the other characters. Generally of his ''own'' fault, but nevertheless.
** Later on Wales takes up this role, when Prussia [[TookALevelInBadass starts standing up for himself a bit more]].
* CampStraight: Prussia, a little bit.
** Wales as well.
* CassandraTruth: England, in the beginning. Eventually after enough magical plots occur, the majority of the cast come to believe him.
** [[Irony Funnily enough]], America to Canada about [[spoiler: their parents and their powers.]] However Canada eventually comes around.
* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: Considering it's original material, this is unsurprising.
** However, this is slightly played down, as the number of females IS quite comparable to the number of males, as the female characters have nearly filled up. Not equal, but not fully outnumbered either.
** Funnily enough, all of the ACTUAL roleplayers are [[CrossDressingVoices girls.]]
* CaretakerReversal: When America and England share their [[RelationshipUpgrade first kiss as a couple]], England is unfortunately sick, and the reason America was over in the first place was to take care of him. A timeskip later and this time America is sick in the care of England.
* TheCasanova: Prussia, at first.
** [[spoiler: {{Subverted}} when he settles down with Seychelles.]]
** Also, France.
* TheCastShowOff:
** As Japan's [=RPer=] is an artist, the character's drawing skills have been shown off from time to time.
* CatSmile: RP-tan, the [[MoeAnthropomorphism personification of the RolePlay]], is drawn with a constant one of these.
* Myth/CelticMythology: Has a bunch.
* CornerOfWoe: While every character is an offender of this (due to the fact it has its own ICON on Website/DeviantART), England (with TWO icons) is the most common offender.
* CuteButCacophonic: America.
* CuteBruiser: Antarctica may look all cutesy and sweet, but get on the bad side of her temper and you may just find yourself with a smashed in head.
* CutenessProximity: Prussia pretty much 'melts' around young children.
** England as well, with both kids and cute creatures, magical or otherwise.
* CulturalCrossReference: Due to the fact it's a story-line revolving around ''personified countries'', these sort of references are thrown in from time to time from the different RP-ers, as an example of [[ShownTheirWork actually doing the research.]]
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Romano. He drives ''[[CrazyIsCool crazy good]]'', but still.
** England isn't a bad driver on a regular basis, but has apparently had enough instances to have reached the maximum amount of points on his liscense before having it suspended.
** [[NeverLiveItDown Japan while usually a good driver, once drove them off a cliff.]]
* TheFairFolk: Wizards can certainly come off that way at times.
** Even ''nations'' have their moments.
%%* FantasticAesop
%%* FantasticComedy
* FantasticRacism: Wizards towards things that aren't wizards. While the newer generation of wizards seems to be rather tolerant, the older generations seem to be a lot more Elitist. In character it was stated that, "In the Other Realm no one really cares about sexuality, skin color, or gender, they're too busy quibbling about ''species'' to have time for more kinds of prejudice."
%%* FantasticRomance: England and [[spoiler: America]].
%%* FearlessFool: Prussia can come off that way at times.
* FoeYay: Sometimes Prussia and England seem to venture into this category....
* ForeignSoundingGibberish: America's take on languages that aren't English.
** They seem to have drifted more into [[TheRival each other's rivals]] than honest to God enemies for each other.
* FreakyFridayFlip: Happened between England and Japan after a quarrel in which the former [[ForgottenAnniversary forgot it was his and the latter's national anniversary.]]
%%* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampires: Romania, very much so.
* FunctionalMagic: Rule Magic, Formulaic Magic, and Functional Magic. It's strongly implied that the incantations mainly serve to focus the thoughts of the wizard on a specific spell and aren't strictly necessary. The same goes for wand usage, they merely serve as a tool to channel powers and are only necessary with stronger spells.
* GenderBender: Happens to Romano and Norway as payment for pissing off England.
** And later to England and France when America wishes it for his [[RuleOfSexy own reasons]].
* Hammerspace: Alfred's pockets in his bomber jacket, he can apparently fit multiple hamburgers in there. Candy as well.
%%* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler: America and England, eventually.]]
* HistoricalInJoke: Considering the main cast are [[MoeAnthropomorphism anthropomorphized nations]], this happens often.
* JigsawPuzzlePlot: Anything and everything involving England's pendant all seems to be forming into this.
** Apparently England's brain when the cast got trapped inside it.
* KarmaHoudini: England flip-flops around with this trope. While sometimes he manages to get off easily despite having been [[TookALevelInJerkass rather cruel unnecessairly]], other times karma practically [[CantGetAwayWithNothing pounds him into the ground for minor offenses]].
%%* KickTheDog: England has a couple of these moments with Wales.
%%** As do the rest of the Kirkland brothers.
%%** [[spoiler: This leads to Wales eventually having a rather bad [[BreakTheCutie breakdown]], however from there on after his brothers seemed to have lightened up on him a bit.]]
* LittleMissBadass: Greenland has ventured into this territory on multiple accounts, the most prominent being her rescue efforts during the first part of the United Nations plot.
* LonelyAtTheTop: England.
** America also showed shades of this sometimes, before he became closer to Prussia.
* LoveDodecahedron: England was in love with America, but America rejected him one time too many so he decided it was time to move on and begin persuing someone else, meeting Antarctica and developing feelings for her as America realizes he likes England, but while England is on the rocks about dating Antarctica, he starts hooking up with Romano on the side who is in love with Spain. As America comes around to confess to England he had just gotten with Ana, Ana viewing America as something of a father figure at the time. And how.
** And after this is resolved, then comes along Prussia and Seychelles, who begin to fall each other when they were turned into children but due to the universe being reset Prussia forgets of his feelings for Seychelles, except Seychelles still remembers as she has (at the time unrevealed) magical powers. However when she starts to get over Prussia she begins to fall for Haiti, and just as she gets with Haiti, Prussia's memory is jogged so he remembers his feelings for her.
*** Furthermore, to complicate things further, Prussia and England used to date, which lead to their falling out. Once [[spoiler: America and England]] and [[spoiler: Prussia and Seychelles]] have all become {{OfficialCouple}}s, and Prussia and America best friends, this can make for some... awkward situations.
* MagicAIsMagicA: The magic in the rp works this way.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: Prussia and Seychelles. Seychelles being a little over two hundred years old, and Prussia having been born around the time of Jesus Christ.
** To a lesser extent, America and England. America being over 400, and England being near 2000.
** Also England and Antarctica.
* MiddleChildSyndrome: Northern Ireland and Wales both seem to suffer this, and they are indeed the middle children. Wales to a greater extent.
** Also Canada, despite him only being the younger in a pair of twins.
* MinovskyPhysics: How magic is explained.
* MirrorWorld / MirrorUniverse: The Mirror World, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin obviously]].
** The Shadow world is almost a better example than the Mirror World though, as the Mirror World has several differences and ambiguities, whereas the Shadow world is meant to be an exact invert of our Earth.
* MomentKiller: Prussia attempts to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this when England is in the hospital between America and England, simply to be an ass.
** England has also played this role to Prussia and Seychelles a few times when he's caught them being lovey dovey.
** America has done this several times, completely on accident however.
* Really700YearsOld: As the way countries age isn't explicitly stated in ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'', it's simply assumed that through the use of {{magical realism}} every nation is pretty much like this.
** Which makes it difficult when the subject of age is brought up, characters generally have to make a distinction of whether they are referring to the their physical or historical age.
* ReincarnationRomance: As of the Void/Protector plot, this is POSSIBLY the case for [[spoiler:America and England]]. This is only a speculation however, as different entities seem to have different ideas on the nature of the Void Magician and Protector.
* ComicBookTime: Roleplaying Time: While occasionally {{averted|Trope}}, this is only to be expected in a Roleplay in which time-skips are necessary, and plots that should only last a couple hours carry over to half a day do to "BRB-ing" and other [[RealLifeWritesthePlot real world events]].
** Not to mention, since many of the RP-ers are from different states, what may be correct timing to one person could be a few hours off to another.
* ActingForTwo: RPing For Two: England, Prussia, and Scotland are all done by the same player.
** As were Northern Ireland and Antractice.
** Greenland, Haiti, and Ireland.
** Romano, Romania, and Wales.
** Japan, Klaus, and Sakura.
* Tanabata: One of the festivals Japan had them celebrate.
* TeamMom: When not the cause of the trouble, England tries to take this role for the group. His success.... varies.
* Technobabble: Any explanation of scientific magic usually falls into this territory to some degree.
* TimeTravel: One of [[spoiler: England's Void]] powers.
** Time travel IS possible with just regular magic, however it is an extremely difficult and powerful spell to perform.
%%* TheTimeTravellersDilemma
* ThereAreNoTherapists: {{Averted|Trope}}. Wales is forced to see one by England after his [[Hikikomori self-isolation]] becomes troubling.
** England has also mentioned in passing that he has tried seeing them, but they often assume he is [[CassandraTruth delusional]] due to his "magical friends".
* TheSociopath: While England is not a straight example, during the latter half of his teenage years he was. He still carries some traits from this however, and a large part of his {{Character Development}} involves overcoming them.
%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Greenland and Antarctica.
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: This happens to England in the Mirrorland plot. And to Wales, again with Mirrorland.
%%* TrueCompanions: They get there, eventually.
%%* WhamEpisode: The Void plot.
* YourMindMakesItReal: [[spoiler: England can unknowningly alter reality to some degree, being the legendary Void magician.]] This is played for drama after he [[TheReveal finds out]] and can't control his powers.
----
Its main plot is set in present day, in the seemingly normal world. And, had one not spent a lot of time roleplaying in the group, the world would seem bleakly normal. With elements of "AlternateHistory", and points in the roleplay's plot that are based off of current ''real'' life-history, it's not a surprise that to most, it seems like your average, basic RP. However it actually has a very heavy undertone of adventure, primarily in the form of {{magical realism}}.
With plots generally centric on the more active of RP-ers, fate usually ends up in the hands of [[AccidentalHero England]], [[OnlySaneMan Japan]], [[BoisterousBruiser America]],[[GenkiGirl Seychelles]], and [[HotBlooded Prussia]]. Of course, with [[LoadsandLoadsofCharacters 27 different characters]] ''currently'', plots and plot-causers vary greatly, and just because it felt as if one character was focused on today, doesn't mean they will be tomorrow.
!!Character tropes:
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Uk.bmp]]
!!''England - Arthur Kirkland''
->Played by [[http://iggyluv333.deviantart.com/ IggyLuv333]]
A snarky, eccentric young man with a very [[{{Tsundere}} hot and cold]] personality, England is a wizard who starts out as very [[{{IneptMage}} bad with his magic]]. After receiving a [[AmuletofConcentratedAwesome magical pendant]] however, Arthur becomes much more capable and powerful, though this gift comes with [[ComesGreatResponsibility consequences]]. Due to his rather impulsive nature with magic, the Briton must learn how to control both his powers and temperament, as when paired, the two often lead to great disaster.
A main component of the storyline revolves around the antics caused by his powers, directly or indirectly, and the CharacterDevelopment which ensues.
-------
!!Tropes that apply to England:
* AmazingFreakingGrace: As per his ringtone in the manga, this is also used for the roleplay.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Scotland and Ireland.
* BerserkButton: Making jokes about his height is bound to land you a punch in the face.
* BigOlEyebrows: The king of them. In fact, Prussia's nickname for England is "Eyebrows" in the RP.
** He apparently grew them out to appear older. Of course the side effect of this is being copiously made fun of, it seems as though he would rather that than be treated like a teenager still.
* BlackMagic: His specialty, while he can use both Black and White, he appears to prefer the former.
* BritishStuffiness: {{Subverted}}, while he can act rather stuffy and snobbish at times, due to his HairTriggerTemper, [[ClusterFBomb foul mouth]], and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} stranger beliefs]], he manages to balance out his quirks and attitude. In the beginning of the roleplay, he started out much more like this though.
* CassandraTruth: England can see magical creatures and use magic, but it takes quite the plenty of incidents before anyone actually starts to BELIEVE in magic.
%%* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Scotland's Abel.
%%** America is apparently still half-convinced England is just an alien. England is not pleased by this.
* CloakAndDagger: The best spy of the bunch.
* CloudCuckooLander: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] - while initially comig off as the OnlySaneMan, upon further analysis it is revealed that not only is he NotSoAboveItAll, but even so far down that he is very often the ''cause'' of it all.
* ClusterFBomb: Swears like a sailor, [[UsefulNotes/TheBritishEmpire fittingly]].
* CoolLoser: Despite being a very wealthy and prominent nation in the world, England prefers a "loner" status with the rest of the world, and aims for this sort of reputation instead.
* CoolSword: [[spoiler: During the incident with the Entropy, Arthur gains one that is compatible with his [[PowerCrystal pendant]].]]
* ConsummateLiar: A very convincing liar, as he usually goes towards [[MetaphoricallyTrue truth twisting]] tactics.
* CovertPervert: Despite being a self-declared gentleman, is the most sexually active character in the roleplay with a good share of kinks.
* CutenessProximity: With his fairies and other magical friends.
** This also very much extends to young children, and [[spoiler: is his main reason for wanting to have one]].
* DeadpanSnarker: So very much.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Starts out as a [[{{Tsundere}} very]] [[IceQueen cold]] and [[StiffUpperLip rigidly]] [[GentlemanSnarker polite]] sort of character, however over the year or so he's melted into a much more personable fellow. May even count as a SugarAndIcePersonality, as with his friends he has become very quirky and eccentric, however around newcomers or people he simply doesn't like, he throws himself back into the deep-freeze.
%%* GentlemanSnarker: Tries for it.
* ShesGotLegs: Definitely so. The only reason he likes to wear shorts when it's warm enough.
%%* HiddenDepths
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: When he's not being {{tsundere}}, is generally being this.
* MoralityPet: America. Tends to get much [[{{Jerkass}} bitchier and downright mean]] when not with him for long amounts of time.
* NightmareFetishist: Has a strong attachement to darker things, to the point of freaking people out sometimes.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Has defrosted somewhat from his outright {{tsundere}} beginnings, into this with his friends.
%%* {{Tsundere}}: Starts as a type A. [[DefrostingIceQueen begins to defrost into not quite a type B yet]], but more [[SugarAndIcePersonality in between]]. Easily snaps back into it around people he is uncomfortable around though.
* TheUnfavorite: Amongst his brothers.
* WhenSheSmiles: While he is prone to smirking and grinning often enough, his true, genuine smile is a much more rare, pretty sight to see.
!!''Prussia - Gilbert Beilschmidt''
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Prussia.bmp]]
->Also played by [[http://iggyluv333.deviantart.com/ IggyLuv333]]
The loud, [[SmallNameBigEgo egocentric]] {{lancer}} to England, Prussia seems to be too full of himself to do anything useful. However, despite his [[BadassNormal non-nation standing]], Prussia is definitely more than capable of [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass holding his own]].
While Prussia's story seems a bit more ordinary ([[EpilepticTrees maybe]]) than the rest, it's far from being dull.
Much of Prussia's development involves overcoming his cocky attitude, as well as opening his heart a little to his friends and [[spoiler: girlfriend]] eventually.
----
!!Tropes that apply to Prussia:
%%* ActionSurvivor: In the beginning. Takes a more proactive role in later installments.
* AttentionWhore: "Her thoughts should be on me, 100% of the time, NO EXCEPTIONS! In fact, everyone's really should be, I don't care how selfish it sounds."
* BadassNormal: Considering the situations he's been thrown into, it's pretty impressive he's come out nearly unscathed.
* BasementDweller: Before he [[spoiler: moved in with Seychelles]], he had a room in Germany's basement.
* BeneathTheMask: Acts like an arrogant jerk 90% of the time, but can occasionally slip into a kinder, more stoic persona under the right amount of pressure.
%%* BigBrotherMentor:
%%** Was one to the Holy Roman Empire.
%%** As well as England, when England was a little boy living with Saxony.
%%** America, during the American Revolution.
%%* BloodKnight: As a part of the Teutonic Knights.
* {{Narcissist}}: His dream fantasy is to have sex with himself.
%%* TheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: With England on occasion.
!!''America - Alfred F. Jones''
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/America.bmp]]
-> Played by [[http://chasserlematin.deviantart.com/ ChasserLeMatin]]
----
!!Tropes that apply to America:
%%* AmericaSavesTheDay: He likes to.
* AttentionWhore: Maybe not as bad as Prussia, but still pretty bad.
* BerserkButton: Calling America fat is a surefire way to get yourself punched in the face.
** As is hitting on England. Or injuring him for that matter.
* BigEater: The king of big eating, unhealthily at that. He never gets fat though, despite how his friends may occaisionally tease him about it.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: He HAS to be the hero.
* ClusterFBomb: Not as bad as England's, but he definitely has a potty mouth.
%%* IdiotHair: And it represents Nantucket!
* LargeHam: America is extremely energetic and loud, being a bit of an {{attention whore}}.
* ManChild: Very idealistic, and has a lot of childish interests. [[HehHehYouSaidX And he doesn't exactly have the most refined sense of humor for that matter.]]
%%* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl
%%* TotallyRadical: Sometimes he verges into this territory.
----
!!''The-Hetalia-RP'' contains examples of:
* ABoyAndHisX: An Antarctica and her Sonic (the name of a dog, not the [[NamesTheSame actual ''character'']] Franchise/{{Sonic|TheHedgehog}}), a Prussia and his Gilbird, and an Ireland and his Daniel.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Like the Arthurian sword it originated from, {{Excalibur}}.
* AcademyOfAdventure: The academy the Kirkland brothers attended in the [[MagicLand Other Realm]] when they were teenagers and hit their powers, for only a couple years.
** Also some of the [[HighSchoolAU Gakuen Hetalia]] alternate universe roleplays are set up as such.
* AffectionateParody: Both of its [[Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers original source work]] AND modern history itself. Not to mention all of the different plots parodying things found in fairytales to things found in Victorian Romance novels, the roleplay incoorporates a lot of parodies and [[ShoutOut shout outs]].
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: {{Averted}}, oh so averted. More or less all love is mercilessly and [[PlayedForLaughs laughably]] EXTREMELY requited...for [[BizarroEpisode about a day]]. And then, [[LetUsNeverSpeakofThisAgain never mentioned again. Ever.]]
** Played straight with England's crush on America..[[spoiler: [[AccidentalPublicConfession until, it wasn't.]]]]
** Was {{Averted}}, then played straight, then [[spoiler: averted again]] with Prussia and Seychelles.
* AllThereInTheManual: As this is a Website/{{DeviantART}} {{Play By Post Game|s}}, with many of the players owning different accounts for their characters, their are certain plot points with each character that would be impossible to understand had you not read their DA Journal, or looked in their comments. The "manual" is very useful at times, as it often serves as a [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools tool]] for the RP.
* AllMythsAreTrue: Played with. While it seems that a lot of myths turn out to be true, only to certain degrees, such as vampires being unable to tolerate the sun, or fairytales coming true.
** [[HintDropping Hinted at]] with Arthur and the legend of Myth/KingArthur.
* [[AmbiguouslyJewish Ambiguously Christian]]: Prussia seems to be secretly quite devout to some Christian denomination. Which one exactly, is the ambiguity. Being that he was a [[UsefulNotes/TheTeutonicKnights Teutonic Knight]] in his past, this is unsurprising.
%%* AmusingInjuries: Poor poor Prussia has a tendency to suffer these.
%%** Wales becomes the primary [[ButtMonkey victim]] later though, it seems.
* AnachronicOrder: The entires 'Neighbors' universe.
%%* Angrish: "ASDFGHJKL".
%%* AnimalReactionShot: A few times with Antarctica's dog Sonic.
%%* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: How England feels about Sealand.
%%* AnAxeToGrind: England features one of these in ''Attack of the AU Zombies''.
%%** As does Denmark in Main Universe.
%%* AnythingThatMoves: France, unsurprisingly.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Wizards apparently scoff at the idea of aliens. Especially England.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Usually irrelevant due to supernatural forces being at work, but also surprisingly subverted in that the Laws of Thermodynamics are maintained by stating that magic is fueled by an external power source, creepily, human soul energy. Hence the reason so many wizards seem to inhabit Earth rather than any other planet, closer to their power source.
* AttractiveBentGender: Romano (or "Romana" as she was renamed) and Norway, when England used a spell to bend their genders.
** Also England himself has the capacity to [[EvenTheGuysWantHim turn heads]] while in convincing drag.
* ArtShift: Demonstrated with Icons and {{Emoticon}}s, or simply words, everyone does this at some point or another.
* AscendedExtra: Over half of the cast... scratch that, three-fourths are very much this. With a few {{Original Character}}s, and some who have only been mentioned in the series by character design or NAME, the amount of extras in the roleplay greatly outnumbers the amount of main characters.
** Funnily enough the two ''actual'' main characters of Hetalia aren't yet filled. That's right, no Germany or Italy.
* AnguishedDeclarationofLove: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in ''Adventure to Atlantis'', in which Antarctica TRIES to give this to England when the submarine was sinking, but England never really caught it.
* BattleCouple: What [[spoiler: America and England]] appear to be turning into as of the late.
* BeachEpisode: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], numerous times, in that it's been ''suggested'' at least 5 or 6 times, but is ALWAYS diverted by England somehow, due to a [[SuperDrowningSkills certain problem of his.]]
** PlayedStraight however when the gang is taken to vacation at Seychelles's house and he is forced to [[FaceYourFears face his fears]] ... and nearly ends up drowning.
* BedmateReveal: Once, with Japan and England. Cue [[HilarityEnsues Antarctica walking in]] and a major NotWhatItLooksLike (and it really wasn't) moment and Antarctica freaking out.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Between.... everyone, sooner or later.
** Primarily between [[RomanticFalseLead Antarctica]] and England, [[FirstGirlWins America and England]], [[BetaCouple Prussia and Seychelles]], and depending how you interpret it, possibly [[FoeYay Prussia and England]].
* BetaCouple: When [[spoiler: America and England]] finally end up getting together, despite their own personality quirks and numerous amount of petty arguments, they prove to be the most stable relationship within the RP. Therefore, they serve as this to many of the budding couples within the RP, particularly [[spoiler: Seychelles and Prussia]].
** However the scenario seems to switch since the latter couple settled down, depending on the roleplay.
* BetterAsFriends: Prussia and England initially decided this, before becoming enemies.
* BettyAndVeronica: Antarctica and America for England, respectively.
** Haiti and Prussia for Seychelles
** [[spoiler: Both Veronicas win.]]
* BerserkButton: If you value your life..[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments DON'T. CALL. AMERICA. FAT.]]
** On that note, [[SugarWiki/MomentofAwesome if you EVER hurt England, prepare to be in a world of pain,]] [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch ''bitch.'']]
*** Really, don't press ANY of America's berserk buttons. It's just, not going to go well.
** [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking And don't you DARE insult England's height, whatever you do.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Seychelles has her moments.
** Japan, too.
* BigApplesauce: Where much of the plot takes place after England moves in with America. Beforehand, it was in London.
* BigBrotherMentor: America was this to Antarctica when she was growing up.
** As was England to America.
** France ''wanted'' to be this to England when he was a child.
* BigDamnHero: America ''tries''.
** And yet, it often ends up England. Oh sweet {{irony}}.
** Everyone pretty much gets a BDH moment, per plot point.
* BigEater: America, most obviously.
** China appears to be something of this as well.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: England, oh dear England. First off, he has 4 big brothers who beat the [[TheUnfavorite hell out of him one minute]], and are all [[BigBrotherInstinct lovey-dovey the next]], and a little one who enjoys [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling annoying him]] and [[BrattyHalfPint treating him like crap]].
*** Then when you take all of England's [[UsefulNotes/TheCommonwealthOfNations former colonies]] into account... England is the perfect in-RP-universe example of this trope.
** It seems Prussia's BigScrewedUpFamily would also be a good example as well.
* BigOlEyebrows: England, and at least half of his relatives.
* BigShutUp: England and Romano are both prone to yelling this (unsurprisingly considering their [[{{Tsundere}} character types]]), and funnily enough, often at each other.
* BizarroEpisode:''She Locks Her Home!'' (A Sherlock Holmes parody) deserves a special mention, as that entire roleplay was just BLAM turned UpToEleven with major {{Out Of Character Moment}}s for Seychelles, England, and Antarctica, complete with [[CrackFic super-crack-RP!elements]] and {{This Is Your Premise on Drugs}}. Did we mention, turned UpToEleven? [[spoiler: But don't worry, it was AllJustADream anyway.]]
* BladeOnAStick: In the aforementioned ''Attack of the AU Zombies'', this was Antarctica's personal weapon of choice.
* BlindIdiotTranslation: ...Google Translate, anyone?
** This is later Averted later on as the roleplayers themselves begin to get more experienced.
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: In the Gakuen!Punk AU..
-->'''America''': C'moooon. Please? With sugar and ice cream and mustaches on top?
-->'''England''': [[LampshadeHanging First off, the mustaches are completely repulsive]], and secondly, no! You wouldn't understand the story anyway!! You don't even know what it's about!!
* BreakTheCutie: How England ended up developing some of his more [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] tendencies.
** Prussia when Holy Roman Empire was killed.
** America for a while during the Nega plot, however he gets better.
* TheBusCameBack: For Prussia, who for a few months took a leave of absence per the [=RPer=]'s lack of interest in him. However, eventually he returned, and quickly re-established himself as a regular character, if not more so than before.
* ButtMonkey: For how "awesome" Prussia is, he certainly does get some rather butt monkey-ish treatment by the other characters. Generally of his ''own'' fault, but nevertheless.
** Later on Wales takes up this role, when Prussia [[TookALevelInBadass starts standing up for himself a bit more]].
* CampStraight: Prussia, a little bit.
** Wales as well.
* CassandraTruth: England, in the beginning. Eventually after enough magical plots occur, the majority of the cast come to believe him.
** [[Irony Funnily enough]], America to Canada about [[spoiler: their parents and their powers.]] However Canada eventually comes around.
* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: Considering it's original material, this is unsurprising.
** However, this is slightly played down, as the number of females IS quite comparable to the number of males, as the female characters have nearly filled up. Not equal, but not fully outnumbered either.
** Funnily enough, all of the ACTUAL roleplayers are [[CrossDressingVoices girls.]]
* CaretakerReversal: When America and England share their [[RelationshipUpgrade first kiss as a couple]], England is unfortunately sick, and the reason America was over in the first place was to take care of him. A timeskip later and this time America is sick in the care of England.
* TheCasanova: Prussia, at first.
** [[spoiler: {{Subverted}} when he settles down with Seychelles.]]
** Also, France.
* TheCastShowOff:
** As Japan's [=RPer=] is an artist, the character's drawing skills have been shown off from time to time.
* CatSmile: RP-tan, the [[MoeAnthropomorphism personification of the RolePlay]], is drawn with a constant one of these.
* Myth/CelticMythology: Has a bunch.
* CornerOfWoe: While every character is an offender of this (due to the fact it has its own ICON on Website/DeviantART), England (with TWO icons) is the most common offender.
* CuteButCacophonic: America.
* CuteBruiser: Antarctica may look all cutesy and sweet, but get on the bad side of her temper and you may just find yourself with a smashed in head.
* CutenessProximity: Prussia pretty much 'melts' around young children.
** England as well, with both kids and cute creatures, magical or otherwise.
* CulturalCrossReference: Due to the fact it's a story-line revolving around ''personified countries'', these sort of references are thrown in from time to time from the different RP-ers, as an example of [[ShownTheirWork actually doing the research.]]
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Romano. He drives ''[[CrazyIsCool crazy good]]'', but still.
** England isn't a bad driver on a regular basis, but has apparently had enough instances to have reached the maximum amount of points on his liscense before having it suspended.
** [[NeverLiveItDown Japan while usually a good driver, once drove them off a cliff.]]
* TheFairFolk: Wizards can certainly come off that way at times.
** Even ''nations'' have their moments.
%%* FantasticAesop
%%* FantasticComedy
* FantasticRacism: Wizards towards things that aren't wizards. While the newer generation of wizards seems to be rather tolerant, the older generations seem to be a lot more Elitist. In character it was stated that, "In the Other Realm no one really cares about sexuality, skin color, or gender, they're too busy quibbling about ''species'' to have time for more kinds of prejudice."
%%* FantasticRomance: England and [[spoiler: America]].
%%* FearlessFool: Prussia can come off that way at times.
* FoeYay: Sometimes Prussia and England seem to venture into this category....
* ForeignSoundingGibberish: America's take on languages that aren't English.
** They seem to have drifted more into [[TheRival each other's rivals]] than honest to God enemies for each other.
* FreakyFridayFlip: Happened between England and Japan after a quarrel in which the former [[ForgottenAnniversary forgot it was his and the latter's national anniversary.]]
%%* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampires: Romania, very much so.
* FunctionalMagic: Rule Magic, Formulaic Magic, and Functional Magic. It's strongly implied that the incantations mainly serve to focus the thoughts of the wizard on a specific spell and aren't strictly necessary. The same goes for wand usage, they merely serve as a tool to channel powers and are only necessary with stronger spells.
* GenderBender: Happens to Romano and Norway as payment for pissing off England.
** And later to England and France when America wishes it for his [[RuleOfSexy own reasons]].
* Hammerspace: Alfred's pockets in his bomber jacket, he can apparently fit multiple hamburgers in there. Candy as well.
%%* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler: America and England, eventually.]]
* HistoricalInJoke: Considering the main cast are [[MoeAnthropomorphism anthropomorphized nations]], this happens often.
* JigsawPuzzlePlot: Anything and everything involving England's pendant all seems to be forming into this.
** Apparently England's brain when the cast got trapped inside it.
* KarmaHoudini: England flip-flops around with this trope. While sometimes he manages to get off easily despite having been [[TookALevelInJerkass rather cruel unnecessairly]], other times karma practically [[CantGetAwayWithNothing pounds him into the ground for minor offenses]].
%%* KickTheDog: England has a couple of these moments with Wales.
%%** As do the rest of the Kirkland brothers.
%%** [[spoiler: This leads to Wales eventually having a rather bad [[BreakTheCutie breakdown]], however from there on after his brothers seemed to have lightened up on him a bit.]]
* LittleMissBadass: Greenland has ventured into this territory on multiple accounts, the most prominent being her rescue efforts during the first part of the United Nations plot.
* LonelyAtTheTop: England.
** America also showed shades of this sometimes, before he became closer to Prussia.
* LoveDodecahedron: England was in love with America, but America rejected him one time too many so he decided it was time to move on and begin persuing someone else, meeting Antarctica and developing feelings for her as America realizes he likes England, but while England is on the rocks about dating Antarctica, he starts hooking up with Romano on the side who is in love with Spain. As America comes around to confess to England he had just gotten with Ana, Ana viewing America as something of a father figure at the time. And how.
** And after this is resolved, then comes along Prussia and Seychelles, who begin to fall each other when they were turned into children but due to the universe being reset Prussia forgets of his feelings for Seychelles, except Seychelles still remembers as she has (at the time unrevealed) magical powers. However when she starts to get over Prussia she begins to fall for Haiti, and just as she gets with Haiti, Prussia's memory is jogged so he remembers his feelings for her.
*** Furthermore, to complicate things further, Prussia and England used to date, which lead to their falling out. Once [[spoiler: America and England]] and [[spoiler: Prussia and Seychelles]] have all become {{OfficialCouple}}s, and Prussia and America best friends, this can make for some... awkward situations.
* MagicAIsMagicA: The magic in the rp works this way.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: Prussia and Seychelles. Seychelles being a little over two hundred years old, and Prussia having been born around the time of Jesus Christ.
** To a lesser extent, America and England. America being over 400, and England being near 2000.
** Also England and Antarctica.
* MiddleChildSyndrome: Northern Ireland and Wales both seem to suffer this, and they are indeed the middle children. Wales to a greater extent.
** Also Canada, despite him only being the younger in a pair of twins.
* MinovskyPhysics: How magic is explained.
* MirrorWorld / MirrorUniverse: The Mirror World, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin obviously]].
** The Shadow world is almost a better example than the Mirror World though, as the Mirror World has several differences and ambiguities, whereas the Shadow world is meant to be an exact invert of our Earth.
* MomentKiller: Prussia attempts to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this when England is in the hospital between America and England, simply to be an ass.
** England has also played this role to Prussia and Seychelles a few times when he's caught them being lovey dovey.
** America has done this several times, completely on accident however.
* Really700YearsOld: As the way countries age isn't explicitly stated in ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'', it's simply assumed that through the use of {{magical realism}} every nation is pretty much like this.
** Which makes it difficult when the subject of age is brought up, characters generally have to make a distinction of whether they are referring to the their physical or historical age.
* ReincarnationRomance: As of the Void/Protector plot, this is POSSIBLY the case for [[spoiler:America and England]]. This is only a speculation however, as different entities seem to have different ideas on the nature of the Void Magician and Protector.
* ComicBookTime: Roleplaying Time: While occasionally {{averted|Trope}}, this is only to be expected in a Roleplay in which time-skips are necessary, and plots that should only last a couple hours carry over to half a day do to "BRB-ing" and other [[RealLifeWritesthePlot real world events]].
** Not to mention, since many of the RP-ers are from different states, what may be correct timing to one person could be a few hours off to another.
* ActingForTwo: RPing For Two: England, Prussia, and Scotland are all done by the same player.
** As were Northern Ireland and Antractice.
** Greenland, Haiti, and Ireland.
** Romano, Romania, and Wales.
** Japan, Klaus, and Sakura.
* Tanabata: One of the festivals Japan had them celebrate.
* TeamMom: When not the cause of the trouble, England tries to take this role for the group. His success.... varies.
* Technobabble: Any explanation of scientific magic usually falls into this territory to some degree.
* TimeTravel: One of [[spoiler: England's Void]] powers.
** Time travel IS possible with just regular magic, however it is an extremely difficult and powerful spell to perform.
%%* TheTimeTravellersDilemma
* ThereAreNoTherapists: {{Averted|Trope}}. Wales is forced to see one by England after his [[Hikikomori self-isolation]] becomes troubling.
** England has also mentioned in passing that he has tried seeing them, but they often assume he is [[CassandraTruth delusional]] due to his "magical friends".
* TheSociopath: While England is not a straight example, during the latter half of his teenage years he was. He still carries some traits from this however, and a large part of his {{Character Development}} involves overcoming them.
%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Greenland and Antarctica.
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: This happens to England in the Mirrorland plot. And to Wales, again with Mirrorland.
%%* TrueCompanions: They get there, eventually.
%%* WhamEpisode: The Void plot.
* YourMindMakesItReal: [[spoiler: England can unknowningly alter reality to some degree, being the legendary Void magician.]] This is played for drama after he [[TheReveal finds out]] and can't control his powers.
