History Literature / LaFuerzaSeries

* HeroesWantRedheads: Valerie is a redhead.

* {{Expy}}: According to WordOfGod, Lily was originally imagined as [[Characters/X23LauraKinney Laura Kinney]] with more offensive options and a weaker HealingFactor, but her personality was changed during the writing process.

--->'''Cassie:''' She's doing a thing from that [[TakeThat shitty]] ''Film/AssassinsCreed'' movie from, like, 20 years ago.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: People with purple eyes exist and are extremely rare. The cause of their eye color is not conclusively known because of how rare it is.

--> '''Jane''': [[ShoutOut Worst. Timing. Ever.]] [[Machinima/RedVsBlue Of all time]].

** Lea's line “You know I love you, right?” is a direct reference to [[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheShisnoTrilogy Season 17]] of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue''.

** Kronos' nickname for Anya, Connie, is both short for her superhero name (Conquistador) and an in-universe reference to Agent Connecticut from ''Machinima/RedVsBlue''.

* StockSubtitle: Rise of the ProtagonistTitle.

* NighInvulnerability: Catalina is impervious to external damage him vulnerable internally.

--> '''Eddie''': It must be Greek fire.
--> '''Aurora''': As opposed to Roman fire?

--> '''Eddie''': When she woke up in his bed, the first thing she did was text me a confession and beg for a second chance. Then she found out he was married and scratched him so hard he had permanent damage in his left eye. That’s when I knew I loved her.

* ShownTheirWork:
** Valeria takes Focalin and Strattera for her ADHD. These are both real ADHD medications.

--> '''Vanessa''': Amelia’s a lesbian. She slept with every college roommate she had and a bunch of her female classmates like it was no big deal, but both times she tried banging a guy she said it made her feel dirty in a bad way. I walked in on him doing her doggy style while she called him “Daddy”, and it’s easily the most out-of-character thing I’ve ever seen her do.

--> '''Kalia''': Where and how did you get all this?
--> '''Jennifer''': I’m a P.I. Finding all this was…relatively easy.

--> '''Lily''': Are you aware that people who exercise before 8:00 am are 30% more likely to be homicidal maniacs?
--> '''Jane''': Are you aware that people who quote fake statistics are 80% more likely to be full of shit?

--> '''Lily''': [[spoiler: You bitch. You didn’t think to tell us what you were planning before you left?]]
--> '''Jane''': [[spoiler: I’m sorry, I was worried they were monitoring us.]]
--> '''Lily''': [[spoiler: You scared the shit out of me. Don’t [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] do that again, okay?]]

--> '''Lily''': If we don’t make it, I want you to know that I would’ve gone down on you until you tapped out.
--> '''Jane''': I think I could’ve enjoyed that.

--> [[spoiler: '''Lily''']]: Can I fuck you [[spoiler: with my tail?]]
--> [[spoiler: '''Jane''']]: Ask me when I’m drunk.
--> [[spoiler: '''Lily''']]: Will do.

--> '''Jake''': I’m gonna go home. Get some sleep.
--> '''María and Jane''' (not quite in sync): You’re not my real mom.

--> '''Mia''': You’re FUCKING right I did!

[[folder: La Fuerza Series]]
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: The books were written between 2019 and 2022, and they take place between April 2022 and March 2036.
* AntiMagic: Lea Cornell is immune to naturally-occuring superpowers.
* AuthorAppeal: WordOfGod's favorite color is purple, which is also the color of María's eyes and Jennifer’s hair.
* BilingualDialogue: Used often, as many characters speak multiple languages.
* BlessedWithSuck: Lea Cornell is immune to naturally-occuring superpowers. This means that beneficial powers such as Healing, Power Enhancement, Physical Enhancement, and Resurrection also don't work on her.
* BloodyMurder: Jason's superpower is a variant of blood manipulation.
* BottomlessMagazines:
** Regularly and deliberately averted. WordOfGod researched magazine capacities for every real firearm used in the series and made sure to have characters reload as needed and eventually run out of ammo.
** Played straight and {{Justified}} in ''The Inquisitor''. Witch Doctor’s superpower is Illogical Construct Creation, and one such creation is a pair of minigun pistols with no recoil and infinite ammunition.
* BrandX: In-universe fictional brands include the Mexican restaurant chain La Llorona’s, the ice cream shop Moe & Joe’s, an Italian restaurant named Corleone's (whose slogan is [[Film/TheGodfather “All bills will be settled at the end of the day.”]]), a different Italian restaurant named I Fuochi di Sicilia (The Fires of Sicily), and a motel called the Come On Inn.
* CanonImmigrant: María Álvarez was created as an original character in a Spider-Gwen fanfiction. That version of her character has the same origin but a happier ending.
* {{Consistency}}: WordOfGod keeps track of the [[Timeline/LaFuerzaSeries timeline]], and every date mentioned lines up.
* {{Cyborg}}: Jane Keller/Inquisitor has cybernetics under her skin.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Jennifer/Nightshade’s main power is Dark Energy Manipulation. [[spoiler: She starts off as a villain in ''Rise of La Fuerza'', then has a HeelFaceTurn and remains a hero until her death in ''The Hazard Squad: Into the Void''.]]
* DominoMask: Most powered individuals who wear masks wear this type of mask.
* {{Omniglot}}: Lea Cornell speaks English, Spanish, French, and ASL.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted. There are two characters named Valeria.
* PurpleIsPowerful: María and Valeria have purple eyes, and Jennifer dyes her hair violet. All three are very powerful supers.
* RecessiveSuperGenes: In the ''La Fuerza'' universe, the Super Gene is recessive. More information available in the Trivia page.
* ShoutOut: Characters often watch Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway and Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000, and several movies that WordOfGod is a fan of.
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: In the ''La Fuerza'' universe, everyone has a recessive gene known as the Super Gene. See RecessiveSuperGenes, or see the Trivia page for additional information.
