!! This fan-fiction provides examples of:
* AbnormalAmmo: The Scarlet Guardsmen find better ammunition to kill undead with, among them broken glass and scraps.
%% * ActionGirl: Keina, Varessa, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and the rest.]]
* TheAtoner: Malicia. Avarian as well, for the deaths of his fellow squad mates. They manage to come back anyway as ghosts, though. Whether that is due to the Emperor's Will or they are simply being manipulated by the Power of Chaos remains o be seen.
%% * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Avarian was a Brother-Sergeant in his Chapter' First Company.
%% * BadassArmy: The Scarlet [[strike:Crusade]] Guard.
%% * BadassBookworm: Azechral again. Just look at his complete and effortless curbstomp of 4 Alliance heroes.
%% * BadassPreacher: Avarian, if his account of the Literature/HorusHeresy is anything to go by.
%% * {{BFS}}: Avarian's chainsword is described as this.
%% * BigBad: Azechral the Chaos Sorcerer, not even Avarian can possibly stand against that alone.
%% * {{Bishounen}}: Avarian is depicted as this, Though he's apparently described as the rugged sort of Bishounen, rather than the girly kind.
%% * BloodKnight: Avarian. And also the Scarlet Guard TERMINATORS.
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: Keina does this literally to Avarian before she gives him [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech a fiery speech on his xeno-hating ways.]] This causes Avarian to begin to respect her guts.

%% * ClingyJealousGirl: Varessa.
%% * CoolCar: The Land Speeder.
%% * CoolPet: Aku'Mai was a Chaos Spawn. Who knew!
%% * TheCorrupter: Azechral to Varian. In a magnificent way.
* CurbStompBattle:
** Anything that gets into a fight with Avarian is already dead and too stupid to realize it. Azechral too, but he's much cooler at it.
** The fic itself takes great strides on showing how overly idealistic, comic book grade logic in ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' which always seems to carry the day would be curb-stomped in a setting as bleak and horrific as ''Warhammer''. Not to mention the sheer disparity of killing power between ''Warcraft'' and ''Warhammer''.
%% * DarkActionGirl: Cyndia.
%% * DarkerAndEdgier: Bringing a Space Marine to an idealistic world like ''Warcraft'' is bound to end up like this.
%% * DarkIsEvil: Everyone else. Avarian also counts to an extent.
%% * DarkIsNotEvil: Some of the Forsaken.
%% * DeadpanSnarker: Avarian. Varessa, to an extent.

* DoomedHometown: This is what will happen if Chaos manages to reach Saregas. Or at least, that's what the Farseer told him. Since this is the Eldar, it could be anything.
%% * DynamicEntry: Done twice. Once in Darnassus, and again in the meeting room in Theramore.
* EasyEvangelism: Whitmane and some of the more fanatic Scarlet Crusaders are quick to join the Imperial Cult at the word of their "Iron Angel", but many others are not quite as convinced and some even express anger and incredulity at this.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Avarian is outraged by the Scarlet Crusade's torturing of the undead.
* FantasticRacism:
** Avarian is gulity of this. He constantly calls the non-human races xenos, and the humans that ally with them heretics or traitors. Of course, this '''is''' [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Warhammer]] we're talking about...
** Also, Commissar Whitemane and the former Scarlet Crusade.
** The Eldar Ranger that was observing Avarian hold the Night and High Elves in disdain.
* FourStarBadass: Avarian has much more than a mere rudimentary grasp of battlefield tactics and military strategy, which is more than can be said for the majority of official ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' characters.
%% * GenkiGirl: Eva.
* GrumpyBear: Avarian, let's recap. He's a grim, brutal, fascistic, zealous, extremist, fundamentalist post human SuperSoldier war-incarnate who will not stop until all the enemies of Mankind are completely destroyed. And he's been transplanted into a [[VideoGame/WarCraft fantasy setting of shining knights, smiling 3 foot tall inventing midgets, proud noble cow people, and undead who constantly make decomposition jokes that has all the moral and ethical complexity of a Disney movie]].

%% * HeroicBSOD: Avarian suffers from this after he saves Warchief Thrall from Varian's wrath.
%% * HeroicResolve: Invoked in Chapter 43.
%% * HollywoodTactics: The Scarlet Crusade tends to rely on this a lot, and Avarian thinks this is the reason they tend to die against odds which even backwater Guardsmen and [=PDF=] could win. Yeah, the PDF. The redshirt army ''for'' the redshirt army.
%% * HotBlooded: Some of the Horde and Alliance members. Avarian has his moments.
* JerkAss:
** Avarian ''in spades''. CharacterDevelopment is ''oh so slowly'' turning him into a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, but he still has a ''long'' way to go before he becomes a straight example.
** If Avarian's opinions on what the common Imperial citizen has to go through is any indication, he's probably one of the most softhearted Marines in the Imperium. His hatred towards everything on Azeroth is understandable given that it flies in everything that he (for [[AliensAreBastards very]], [[CosmicHorrorStory very]] good reasons) believes.
* LeeroyJenkins: Garrosh, who got knocked out instantaneously when he tried to attack Avarian. There's also that Kor'kron Guard orc that joined Avarian's group, but he pulls this off with more success.
* LightIsNotGood: The Scarlet Crusade are still racist, [[strike: undead-hating bastards]] ''everyone-who's-not-them'' hating bastards but Avarian is slowly teaching them [[DarkIsNotEvil otherwise.]]
%% * MagneticHero: '''Avarian'''.
%% * ManipulativeBastard: Farseer Yrlith. Also, Sylvanas.

%% * MoreDakka: Obviously.
%% * NotSoStoic: Avarian weeps tears when Yrlith shows him visions of a destroyed Imperium.
* ObliviousToLove: When a woman makes a blatant pass at Avarian, he's clueless. He assumes from the the glares of his female companions that she has insulted his honor somehow, and considers killing her.
* OhCrap:
** The reactions of many enemies to Avarian.
** What Sylvanas was essentially thinking when her apothecary's poison didn't work on Avarian.
%% * OnlySaneMan: In Avarian's POV.
* PhysicalGod: The night elf denizens see him as this, while the rest of the races see him as a living weapon of mass destruction.
* PlotTumor: The story has been lingering on the Scarlet Crusade thing for some time now. What happened to the keeping the Alliance and the Horde together part of his quest?
* PoweredArmor: Other than the obvious, the Scarlet Crusade experimented with enchanting armors on some of their knights, and Avarian dubs them Terminators.
%% * PurpleProse: A lot of it. The writer's college-educated so it's actually pretty fucking good.
%% * ReligiousBruiser: Avarian so Khorne-damned much.
%% * RousingSpeech: Avarian is good at this.
%% * RuleOfCool: You gotta admit, Avarian ''knows'' how to kick the ass of ''everything in Azeroth''.
%% * ShrinkingViolet: Malicia.
%% * SpaceMarine: Guess who.
%% * {{Tsundere}}: Keina is a Type B.
%% * UnwantedHarem: Most men in Avarian's position would kill to have a harem like his.

The story focuses on [[BoringInvincibleHero Avarian,]] A SpaceMarine that is thrust into the [[IncrediblyLamePun World Of Warcraft]] by an Eldar Farseer, who tells him that he has to help the inhabitants of Azeroth fight off the powers of Chaos and the Scourge, or else, The Imperium of Man will be destroyed.

* ActionGirl: Keina, Varessa, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and the rest.]]

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Avarian was a Brother-Sergeant in his Chapter' First Company.
* AxeCrazy: Azechral is always instinctively licking the inside of his helmet when blood splashes against it. Khorne is pleased.
* BadassArmy: The Scarlet [[strike:Crusade]] Guard.
* BadassBookworm: Azechral again. Just look at his complete and effortless curbstomp of 4 Alliance heroes.
* BadassGrandpa: Avarian is 100 years old. Yet is rather well kept compared to other such Space Marines.
* BadassPreacher: Avarian, if his account of the Literature/HorusHeresy is anything to go by.
* {{BFS}}: Avarian's chainsword is described as this.
* BigBad: Azechral the Chaos Sorcerer, not even Avarian can possibly stand against that alone.
* {{Bishounen}}: Avarian is depicted as this.
** Though he's apparently described as the rugged sort of Bishounen, rather than the girly kind.
* BloodKnight: Avarian. And also the Scarlet Guard TERMINATORS.
* BoringInvincibleHero: Avarian again. Though possibly only because he hasn't met the Chaos Space Marines present, nor the higher-ups of the Scourge.
** In fairness to the story, Avarian comes perilously close to death once when he fights the Chaos Spawn ([[MemeticMutation AAAAAGHHHHFGSFDS]]) in Blackfathom Deeps and is only saved by the intervention of his elven friends and everyone else in that place. And even then he is visibly strained from that victory. A similar level of difficulty is faced when he fights the Abomination, but that's more one sided to his favour anyway.
* [[BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu Broke Your Arm Punching A Space Marine]]: Keina does this literally to Avarian before she gives him [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech a fiery speech on his xeno-hating ways.]] This causes Avarian to begin to respect her guts.
* ChainsawGood: '''Duh.'''
* ChasteHero: Avarian is this. He is only focused on his mission.

* [[DoomedHometown Doomed Imperium]]: This is what will happen if Chaos manages to reach Saregas. Or at least, that's what the Farseer told him. Since this is the Eldar, it could be anything.
* DynamicEntry: Done twice. Once in Darnassus, and again in the meeting room in Theramore.

** Possibly due to the fact that to the Monestary's crusaders, he's a promised saviour. Also, as evidence shows that the Holy Light is a mutation of the Imperial Creed.
* [[EnemyToAllLivingThings Enemy To All Undead and Demonic Things]]: Avarian.
* [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Space Marines Have Standards]]: Avarian is outraged by the Scarlet Crusade's torturing of the undead.
* FantasticRacism: Avarian is gulity of this. He constantly calls the non-human races xenos, and the humans that ally with them heretics or traitors. Of course, this '''is''' [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Warhammer]] we're talking about...

* GenkiGirl: Eva.

* HalfHumanHybrid: Half-elves. There's one in Chapter 40.
* HeroicAlbino: Avarian, due to his Chapter's gene-seed issues, which comes from being a son of Corax.
* HeroicBSOD: Avarian suffers from this after he saves Warchief Thrall from Varian's wrath.
* HeroicResolve: Invoked in Chapter 43.
* HollywoodTactics: The Scarlet Crusade tends to rely on this a lot, and Avarian thinks this is the reason they tend to die against odds which even backwater Guardsmen and [=PDF=] could win. Yeah, the PDF. The redshirt army ''for'' the redshirt army.
* HotBlooded: Some of the Horde and Alliance members. Avarian has his moments.
* JerkAss: Avarian ''in spades''. CharacterDevelopment is ''oh so slowly'' turning him into a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, but he still has a ''long'' way to go before he becomes a straight example.
** To be fair, the author notes that it takes a long time to conquer a (fairly long) lifetime of extensive propaganda and [[MoreThanMindControl psycho-conditioning]].

* MagneticHero: '''Avarian'''.
* [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]]: Farseer Yrlith. Also, Sylvanas.
* MindRape: Attempted by a Word Bearer on King Varian. It didn't work. Though it has been stated that Varian will accept the Glory of Chaos eventually.
* MoreDakka: Obviously.
* NotSoStoic: Avarian weeps tears when Yrlith shows him visions of a destroyed Imperium.

* OhCrap: The reactions of many enemies to Avarian. Also what Sylvanas was essentially thinking when her apothecary's poison didn't work on Avarian.
* OnlySaneMan: In Avarian's POV.

** Maybe it's the fact that they share the same racist views with Avarian?
*** So does Varian Wrynn, but that didn't stop Avarian from saving Thrall's life because it was needed.
*** No he doesn't. Varian consorts with xenos and isn't that religious enough to be susceptible to Avarian's preaching. As the Holy Light is portrayed as an off-shoot of the Imperial Creed in this fic.

* PurpleProse: A lot of it. The writer's college-educated so it's actually pretty fucking good.
** To be fair, it's from Avarian's POV sections. And as a fanatical warrior, he would describe ceramite and bolters and humanity with words like 'blessed' and so forth. Whereas, with daemons, xenos and such, he'd be less charitable in his descriptions.
* [[GentleGiant Racist Giant]]: Avarian.
* ReligiousBruiser: Avarian so Khorne-damned much.
* RousingSpeech: Avarian is good at this.
* RuleOfCool: You gotta admit, Avarian ''knows'' how to kick the ass of ''everything in Azeroth''.
* [[ScrewYouElves Screw You Human]]: Avarian's "I'm human therefore I'm superior" complex wears on everyone around him [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech until Keina finally snaps and gives him what-for]]. The orcs, with the exception of Garrosh, just ignore his racism and just stick to being orcs.
** Well, not until he starts to address them directly. Then they get defensive and drone on about their whole culture to him while citing irrelevant things like 'felbloods' and 'the Legion'. Of course, what makes this hilarious is that Avarian hasn't noodled it through yet that the Orkz he's talking about, them gloriously awesome cockney fungal barbarians, aren't the same thing as ''Warcraft's'' green Klingon rip-offs. Ergo, Avarian is left confused and angry at the so called Greenskin's story and the Orcs simultaneously have no idea what he's talking about even as they try to justify themselves. Ergo, everyone ends up angry and confused. Some people see this as a hilarious example of the thematic disparities between the settings; the interaction between Warhammer's gritty cynicism and ''Warcraft's'' comic book idealism. Which in many ways could be considered the main point of the fic itself.

* GenreSavvy: Avarian loves to use his technological weapons to tear apart with undead enemies and demons.

The Chaos Gods are have it perfectly within their power to destroy the Imperium and the entire universe if they wanted. The only reason they don't is because [[ItAmusedMe the eternal war against mankind is far too fun for them and their followers.]]

* JerkSue: Let's recap: a ridiculously xenophobic SpaceMarine finds himself on a planet inhabited by numerous non-human species. He proceeds to effortlessly curbstomp everything that gets in his way, insult everyone around him for being either a heretic, a traitor, or a filthy xeno, gains the attention of nearly every faction leader in both the Horde and the Alliance, and gives them the same shitty treatment that he gives everyone else with no negative repercussions whatsoever. Yet despite all this, and despite the fact that he makes it ''very clear'' that he regards non-humans as being lower than dirt, he has somehow picked up an UnwantedHarem made up mostly of non-humans. Is it any wonder he fits in so well with [[CorruptChurch the]] [[ChurchMilitant Scarlet]] [[LawfulStupid Crusade?]]
