History Fanfic / UnprecedentedCatastrophe

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Mid-narration, the Musou Notes speak for either the main character (in case he's not already in the scene) or the author. [[TalkingToHimself Or both]].

** There were supposed to be episodes 9.5, and 12.3 focused on [[AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent completely different and new]] [[TheCameo (Genma's brief appearance in Chapter 3 notwithstanding)]] [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters characters]].

* BigBad: Despite Mima being billed as the BigBad for all intents and purposes, Nouwa has far more plot prominence than her. Mima is actually a BiggerBad.

A VideoGame/{{Touhou}} FanFic, written in French by Troper @/{{Wax}}.\\

* CompletelyDifferentTitle: The fic has a Japanese title (''Touhou Musouhen''), an English title (''Unprecendented Catastrophe'') and a French title (''Mésaventures d'un Unique''). The three translate to something different, even though [[DownplayedTrope still a bit similar]].

** Musou was supposed to end Chapter 7.5 by singing an altered version of "Ain't No Grave" to himself in his coma, but this was scrapped due to being cliché [[spoiler:and plans changing (also due to him referencing a "pair of angels" as {{Foreshadowing}} Komachi and Youmu coming for him, and the plan was changed to him being stopped by Sanae alone)]].

** In Chapter 7, changing worlds every other week makes the main character feel like [[SuperMarioBros "ending up in world 8-4 and kicking a dragon's butt so this all ends"]].

* AManIsNotAVirgin: Musou more or less combats this trope, having died virgin. He could have expressed disgust over the idea, but the fic never got to the point where he could think about romance.

* ShoutOut: The main character being a [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy Dangerously]] [[WrongGenreSavvy Wrong]] GenreSavvy outsider is bound to do plenty.

** [[spoiler:Musou himself, when you realize that he is "Maou" Brimstone.]]

** When faced with the fact that he doesn't have a sword, Musou shapes a lightning bolt into one, like [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Zeus]].

** Maou Brimstone could have had a grand total of seven fights [[spoiler:before being revealed as Musou]]. The plans switched to him turning crazy on his first battle, and even that didn't go through. [[spoiler:Musou was also supposed to have a heel stint as Musou, even though he was EvilVsEvil going for payback against Chiyuri and Yumemi.]]

It was started in November 23rd, 2011, the fic is currently at chapter 9.\\

* [[spoiler:DeadToBeginWith: The story doesn't end with the main character's death in Chapter 1.]]

* KnightOfCerebus: Nouwa appears in Chapter 3, with hostile intent (which is new) and attacks three times before the chapter's closure. She is also responsible for a good portion of the plot, [[spoiler:with her personal responsibility in Mima's escaping and the hand she had in completing Marisa's FaceHeelTurn]].

* WeirdnessMagnet: Sakuya living in the Human Village attracts visits from Remilia herself.

It also gives a part of the fic's Japanese title (''Musouhen'' meaning "unique event", or in this case "Musou event"), which makes Musouhen a...

!New characters:
!!Introduced in Part 1 (before Chapter 6):
[[folder:Musou]]
'''WARNING: The name Musou is narration-only! Canon-wise, he has NoNameGiven.'''
-> [[DesignatedHero The main character.]] A human who was out to Japan for a "Shrine Tour", he ends up finding the Outside World's Hakurei Shrine. Following a perturbation in the Great Barrier, he is haplessly taken in the barrier, and nearly dies, but Yukari takes the remains of his existence when the barrier has to be fixed. A TimeSkip later, he is found at the Moriya Shrine, but wanders away until Reimu and Marisa take upon themselves to train him at surviving, while Sanae investigates him under the guise of being Reimu's aide. After two weeks, he sets out for the Scarlet Devil Mansion to discover how he ended up in Gensokyo and... a lot of things happen.
!!Tropes associated with Musou:
* AuthorAvatar
* FailureHero: He hasn't won a single fight, while he lost a handful.
* FateWorseThanDeath: He wonders if he's trapped forever in nothingness in Chapter 1, and maintains his existence only by [[ThePowerOfHate the hate]] this fate generates in him.
* GenreSavvy: Sometimes, but he verges on DangerouslyGenreSavvy and especially WrongGenreSavvy.
* GratuitousJapanese: Spouts some on a regular basis.
* LeeroyJenkins: He thinks very little in fear of holding back his powers since he'd be in denial of those. In narration, he even namedrops Leeroy Jenkins when referring to his lack of thought in Chapter 8.
* MeaningfulName: Musou stands for ''unique'', tying in with the French title. It's also part of the Japanese title ''Musouhen'', meaning ''unique event''.
* NoNameGiven: Post-spiriting away. Hiding his real name under the alias Musou is the first thing he even does of the work. Post-spiriting away, he doesn't remember this alias and is referred to by this name only in narration.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: In chapter 1 [[FlashbackNightmare and 8]], the main character pulls this on himself, putting himself through a Spell Card from Flandre in order to learn how to dodge bullets. [[spoiler:He sinks, and dies.]]
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: And there's neither any possibility to escape, nor any desire to do so.
* WrongGenreSavvy: In chapter 1, he goes with {{Fanon}} Flandre, [[WrongGenreSavvy thinking]] she'll snap into OmnicidalManiac-ness at the slightest notice. It has nasty consequences, even though she doesn't do more than play one of her Spell Cards with him. Since he's then unable to fly or fire danmaku, she [[CurbStompBattle doesn't even take a hit]] and Meiling has to stop the "game" because the main character has already got hit far too much[[spoiler:, leading to his death.]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Luke Hakurei]]
-> Reimu's husband, he comes back at the beginning of the fiction after a nine-months travel to find his identity. [[StatusQuoIsGod He couldn't do this in time to come back to Gensokyo]].
!!Tropes associated with Luke:
* FriendToAllLivingThings: To most at least. He rescues Shumi after knocking her into the Misty Lake and hearing her cry.
* OnlySaneMan: To Reimu's GoodIsNotNice tendencies.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Nouwa Burensu]]
-> A particular spirit of unknown type that appeared in the Netherworld, confronting Musou and attacking everyone on sight. Her goal seems to be exterminationg everything, but she's far too weak for that.
!!Tropes associated with Nouwa:
* AltoVillainess
* AttentionWhore: Referred to as such in the bonus chapter, even by her own partner-in-intruding (known as "The Traveller") or by Reimu.
--> '''"The Traveller"''': "If you want to stare at someone, look Miss, she is the one wanting it after all."
--> '''Reimu:''' "Listen, you've wasted enough of Gensokyo's time with him or yourself! So you'll get down that table and play your damn card game with me."
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Sealed by Shingyoku in Chapter 4. She one-shots its three forms when she comes back in Chapter 6.
* GracefulLoser: Bonus-only. She reacts to her loss by laughing, and her first laugh that isn't an EvilLaugh. Out of the bonus, she's only lost by knock-away (Sanae) straight knockout (Remilia) or sealing (Shingyoku).
* GratuitousJapanese: See Musou.
* MeaningfulName: The Nou (usually written "noh") (能) is a form of tragic theatre, and '''wa''' (環) means wheel. The logic here being, her name is a metaphor for the '''breaking wheel'''. Despite there being a ''nou'' kanji meaning "angered" (惱), this isn't the transcription used, so the trope is thought to be subverted until the hidden torture meaning is discovered.
* MotiveDecay: In her first appearances, she solely existed to kill the main character and had no real trait aside her hatred of him, and everyone else. In her last appearance so far, she feels what she calls "a heart" growing in her, but tries to make this a DefiedTrope.
** UpToEleven: In the card game bonus chapter, she interrupts ForTheLulz.
* MotorMouth: In the card game bonus, she gives long talks about her cards and effects and stuff, complete with GameBreaker effects for added [[SmugSnake ego]]. Lampshaded mercilessly twice by Reimu.
--> "You sure like to listen to yourself talk, huh?"
--> "Please, end it soon..."
* ShoutOut: "ZA WARUDO!" is the line on which she enters the bonus's card game tournament.
* SuperSmoke: Her first apparition had her "materialize" from white smoke in front of the main character.
** SmokeOut: Inverted. She "smokes in" during the bonus.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Genma Uemashi]]
-> A demon from Makai, seen visiting Alice.
!!Tropes associated with Genma:

* TheDreaded: She knows Marisa for what she did in Makai.
* SunglassesAtNight: And indoors.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Shumi Kasei]]
-> A [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal fiery fairy]], also escaped from Mubana.
!!Tropes associated with Shumi:

* PlayingWithFire

!!Tropes associated with Makuu:
* AffablyEvil: Under her polite servant façade, she reminds Chen of Nouwa.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Maou Brimstone]]
-> A mysterious masked agent of Yumemi's, he doesn't have full control over the way he thinks or acts. Otherwise, he seems to be quite insane.
!!Tropes associated with Maou:
* MindControl: A victim of this.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "Maou" stands for "demon king" as Chiyuri attests [[DeadpanSnarker in her way]].
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: On behalf of Yumemi, he was supposed to take out a kappa outpost. He scorched the entire area, and signed the act with a kanji for "evil spirit" (the "ma" in Maou).
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Hiirome]]
-> A mysterious human with fire powers. Little is known about him.
!!Tropes associated with Hiirome:

* MotorMouth: In the card game bonus, she gives long talks about her cards and effects and stuff, complete with GameBreaker effects for added ego. Lampshaded mercilessly by Reimu.
