''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13101535110A19440100&page=1 We Are Our Adventuring Avatars]]'' (full title ''ITT: We Are Our Adventuring Avatars'') is a [[PlayByPostGame Play By Post Forum Game]] on the Administrivia/TVTropesForum and a spin-off of the original [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=i9k31ypluou9s5j9d2w7n23k&page=1 We Are Our Avatars]]. It focuses more on story driven role playing. The game focuses on a group who would became multiverse trotting mercenaries known as Kereboros Security.
Originally made because of players being disappointed with what they felt was a lack of plot from the original WAOA, a second topic was created as [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13086227680A36860100&page=1 We Are Our Epic Avatars]] but due to issues in player base, interest, and failure to communicate, it was soon discontinued. This game is currently over 200000 posts. New players can leap right in, provided they [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13100727210A69600100&page=1 read the rules]] and at least introduce themselves.
----
!!''We Are Our Adventuring Avatars'' provides examples of:
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:General]]
* AceCustom:
** The 1st Hell Brigade's power armor sets are customized by the wearer's preference, making them different from the standard issue type used by the main forces. Another distinctive attribute to their armor are [[Anime/ArmoredTrooperVOTOMs the asymmetrical red shoulders]].
** Eve wears a black set of terran commando armor, most sets are blue or camo, it also has a slit on the left arm and ports along the arms to account for the weapons in her cybernetics.
** On the villainous side: The Cipher Troopers wearing the Superiority Protection Gear armor series, the successor to the New American Empire's Frontline Gear armor series.
%%* AdamAndOrEve: The first names of the two married military oriented protagonists.
* AIIsACrapshoot: The TDN Langley however played this straight, [[BrainwashedAndCrazy mainly due to being hacked]] but it was later retconned into having a precursor device into her, making her insane.
* ArtificialHuman
** Imca is not natural, but rather artificially created, and while mostly squishy and quite like a normal gijinka, even if she is synthetic, does have some electrical bits in her head.
** Mina, a protosapien clone, is created in an artificial womb as a supersoldier. Her cybernetics inside her are [[OrganicTechnology biomechanical]] which grows alongside her body.
%%* ArtificialIntelligence: Lots.
* {{Autodoc}}: If any of the group's medic aren't available when needed most, the TDN-Trinity's Autodocs can heal the patient no matter how severe the injury, especially when they replaced body parts with advanced cybernetics.
%%* BattleCouple: Longram and Eve
%%* BadassCrew: The Blessing/Trinity crew to a great extent.
* BadassFamily: The Longrams, a family that served the military for generations.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Eve's CQC weapon, normally kept retracted in her [[HollywoodCyborg cybernetic left arm]]
* BreakoutCharacter: ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}, more or less.
* BridgeBunnies: A few of the youkai (in sailor fuku wear) from Gensokyo operate the bridge with Captain Murasa as the helmsman.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: A number of characters have left the game without explanation or [[PutOnABus being put on a bus]].
** Etheru played a number of characters in the 2012 period of the game, and tended to drop them after being dissatisfied or bored with them.
** Mina Longram, one of Mr. Kirb's major characters circa 2013, disappeared after July 2013. No in-character reason was given, but OOC drama about the character contributed to her discontinued use. Longram has since said [[CanonDiscontinuity he doesn't have a daughter]].
* CityOfAdventure: Arakanea, Hal's Kingdom home to refugees from countless worlds, a church of magical girls, diamond mines, beaches, and teleporters to almost anywhere.
* ContinuityReboot:
** Happened on the fifth of March, the "in-universe" justification for that is when an unknown virus broke the fourth wall, forcing the powers that be to reboot the timeline.
** There is currently a plan to do this at least yearly, treating previous events [[BroadStrokes the way players wish to]].
%%* CoolHorse: Vanguard the pegasus.
* CoolStarship: The TDN-Mobius and later, the TDN-Terra's Blessing. After the Terra's Blessing destruction, the TDN-Trinity took its place.
* CreatorProvincialism: [=RhymeBeat=] is known to live in New York and tends reference elements of it most of the time.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Averted, the Cybernetic characters Eve and Longram are more calm and level headed then a lot of the fully biological ones.
* {{Cyberpunk}} Rhyme and Dave/Mike's Homeworld [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Cyber New York.]] A world still researching breakthroughs in cybernetics, where most of the population are choosing to alter themselves. There is also HardLight technology to some extent and medical breakthroughs that can combat brain tumors and allow for HomosexualReproduction.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Zig-zagged. Some of the players believe the overall tone of WAOAA is darker than WAOA. [[LighterAndSofter Though recent developments are seeing it be somewhat lighter, though this may change in the future.]]
* DarkMagicalGirl: There's the [[SuperpoweredMooks Cipher Magica]], SuperSoldiers with the power of {{Necromancy}} and inflicted with BodyHorror due to their enchancements.
* DepletedPhlebotinumShells:
** The Terran Alliance developed a variety of special ammunition, whenever if it's supernatural beings, demons, angels, machines, aliens, mutants, monsters, and even gods.
** The "Terran Alliance God Killers" in particular work by encasing the target in a unique, liquid metal, that once it hardens begins to partially fade from reality as a result it is immune to reality warping, [[AndIMustScream trapping the target inside a metal statue for all of eternity]], This metal is formed from subspace bore use, and as such is highly radioactive, and very dangerous on the spacial scale, even capable of causing rift storms if large quantities are present in one area, since it should not completely exist.
%%* DimensionalTraveler: Most of the cast are this, sharing the same premise with its parent RP.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Put Eve behind the wheel, your riding experience will be like a roller coaster through hell and Zel's [[UpToEleven even worse]] if he's driving.
%%* DroppedABridgeOnHim: How [[VideoGame/ModernWarfare Ghost]] died, He got better though.
* DysfunctionJunction: [[WithFriendsLikeThese Disturbingly so.]] Where to start?: An orphaned ShellShockedVeteran of a SuperSoldier designated to be expendable (to buy more time) to her superiors, an elite American commander with [[BrokenPedestal issues with a post-apocalyptic facist shadow organization]] with multiple regrets, a purple equine bookworm with SuperOCD and a WideEyedIdealist mindset clashing against CrapsackWorld elements, an angel artist whose dead lover is a ColdSniper, a bumbling scientist who created a reccuring villain by accident, a pacifist fox girl who happens to be immature, a SpaceshipGirl who loves radioactive cola, a trickster illusionist, a trigger happy kleptomaniac witch, a chainsaw wielding schoolgirl with an AxCrazy split-personality, a merc turned chimera, a very eccentric blacksmith whose body got screw up real bad, and finally, a ninja merc with very questionable sanity and they happen to be the recurring characters.
* {{Dystopia}}: The Cipher Brotherhood's remaining bastion worlds, major population centers and megacities under [[BigBrotherIsWatching constant watch of magical propaganda posters]], none of them are in good shape though. This is due to the fact the brotherhood is mainly focusing on their military and scientific research.
* {{Eagleland}}: Most of the American soldiers in the RP are portrayed positively, that includes the [[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} defected Enclave troopers]], [[VideoGame/{{Crysis}} Tera]], and the [[VideoGame/GhostRecon Joint Strike Force]] (Type 1).
%%* ElectronicEyes: Most Terran characters have these in some form or another. Most of the Hellfire Brigade marines have them too, Longram included.
* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: Some characters such as Imca, Luca,Mitch, Dave, Kris, Shiki,and Red are from RolePlay/WAOAHighSchoolAU, now as adults.
%%* FantasyKitchenSink: Considering this game's a massive crossover, this trope is inevitable.
* FasterThanLightTravel: Mostly for dimensional hopping though.
** Terran Alliance uses a [[PortalNetwork warp gate system]] that spans around their home galaxy.
** The Cipher Brotherhood and the Solaris Federation uses subspace drives to warp into other dimensions instead.
* FiveManBand
** The Cipher Brotherhood (Pre-Reboot)
*** BigBad: The Void

* FluffyTheTerrible: Six's fearsome pet dragon from hell, Mittens.
%%* FullContactMagic : This is Eliko's fighting style.
* FutureSpandex: Protosapien Combat Skins, body armor in the form of spandex-like suits that can be worn over power armor.
* HomosexualReproduction: Ovida is a drug that leads to mutated polar bodies in women, allowing a Lesbian couple to have children genetically theres. Rhyme was born when her mother Carlie was on drug trials for it.
%%* HumongousMecha
* HyperactiveMetabolism: Terran cyborgs, of which Eve, Amaya, Malak, Blues, [[spoiler: along with Longram and Should]] are included, need a diet high in Protein, Sugars, and Carbs to survive. They can get this through a diet of lots of Meat and Sugary food, or with the Terran issued Cyberboost bars.
* {{Immortality}}: Anyone who get military grade Terran cyborg enhancements will be virtually immortal from old age (Type II). However they can killed by external forces such as severe injuries such as multiple gunshots. They can't die from natural causes.
* InterspeciesAdoption: Mina, a HumanAlien, was adopted by the two human protagonists, Longram and Eve.
* ItsRainingMen: The default method Terrans use to land personal and equipment on a planet, The group some times does the same to get to a planets surface quickly. Usually done using the various forms of Terran armor, all of which include specialized heat-sinking equipment to survive the heat, and [[JetPack built-in thrusters]] to cushion the landing.
* LittleBitBeastly: The animal-based Gijinka. Imca (Switches between Eeveelutions), Rhyme (Samurott), Luca Juniper (Lucario), Chibi (wolf), Colonel Adam Longram sometimes (wolf), Lystia and Cabbot (Bunnies), are prime examples.
%%* MagicKnight : Several, Like Ghost, Eliko, Xion, and Rhyme.
* MagicalGirl: Two varieties. The Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica inspired ones (most prominently [[VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou Shiki Misaki]] played by Rhyme Beat, and the more traditional magical girl Korin played by Etheru).
* MamaBear: Longram and Eve adopted a cloned human alien they later name Mina. If your a villain and you endanger their daughter, bring a coffin, because what's your going in once your dead. And using their parental wrath to lure them into a trap but all it seemed to do was [[OhCrap piss them off]]. This also applies to their subordinates.
* {{Mooks}}: All of them vary.
** The 1st Hellfire Brigade themselves are EliteMooks.
** The Cipher Troopers are described to having their designs look like GasMaskMooks. On the Group's side: The Hellfire Brigade's [[GasMaskLongcoat Riot Gears]] have lower tech versions of the gas masks but only used by specialists or if power armor isn't a good option for the troops.
** The Hellfire Marines, most soldiers from the Terran Alliance, and the Cipher Troopers are {{Heavily Armored Mook}}s.
** Roboscorpions, Mr. Gutsies, {{steampunk}} robotknights, the Metallix are all MechaMooks.
* MoralityKitchenSink: Some characters such as Twilight Sparkle, and Team Sonic are the most purely heroic characters; the military characters are of ALighterShadeOfGrey, especially since one of them used to commit at least one war crime; NAIA as a whole are anti-heroes are best; most of the villains are of a darker shade of grey; finally, the only darkest one of them all is the Cipher Brotherhood who are at best, WellIntentionedExtremist.
* MugglesDoItBetter: Modern and futuristic weaponry can take down almost anyone and anything.
* OfficialCouple:
** [[HappilyMarried [=Longram/Eve=]]], [=Rhyme/Amaya/Mike=](pre-reboot) [=Rhyme/Mike=], [=Kara/Hayley=], [=Shiki/Vivian=], [=Dave/Glados=], and [=Cath/Pala=].
** [=Imca/Luca=] used to be this, but communications between the players became heated and they were broken up, eventually resulting in another Retcon where Imca became another character entirely.
* OutsideContextProblem: Because of the inter-dimensional aspect of the RP, Kerberos Security can be seen like this to the natives inhabiting the various universes. No one would expect that a group of mercenaries would be crewed by colorful folk from various backgrounds that solves problems for their clients with some villains are even thrown off by this. It takes knowing the group itself to properly combat them and that even failed multiple times.
* PoweredArmor: Several Characters to wear this.
* ProHumanTranshuman: Some of the cyborg protagonists with cybernetics didn't mind having them.
* RealRobot: The [[TabletopGame/BattleTech Mad Cat]], and the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars Wildraubtier]].
* {{Retcon}}: Many elements of the RP has been altered to fit the players' preferences.
** The group encountered the Cipher Brotherhood twice in the past, first at Equestia (Replacing the Stasis Arc), and the second at Time Rift Earth (Technically first major encounter pre-reboot but has a large presence in this.)
** Imca/Sunova has changed the Terran Alliance in many ways, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13100727210A69600100&page=475#11860 see here for details]].
* RevolversAreJustBetter: There are many types of them. One revolver type in particular is the rare NAIA Werewolf model, [[HandCannon powerful as a sniper-rifle]], [[ArmorPiercingAttack bypasses armor]], [[SniperPistol range of a sniper rifle]], rate of fire of a battle rifle, holds 8 rounds, and it costs around the trillions to just build one. It is considered an InfinityMinusOneSword and only 20 exist total so far. Wraith owned one of them.
%%* RidiculouslyHumanRobots : Common. Dave, Glados, Glados, Zergus, Wraith, Yuzuki, Yuriko, Eliko just to name a few.
* RobotGirl : A fairly common character type. Glados, Wraith, Yuzuki, Yuriko, Eliko, Blessing, and Sunny (her true body, not the one often seen) are all examples.
* RunningGag: Etheru's characters tend to question why they see a [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic talking horse]], usually in a long, wordy fashion.
%%* SapientShip: The TDN Terra's Blessing,the TDN Mobius, and the TDN Trinity.
%%* SciFiKitchenSink
%%* SpaceOpera
%%* SquishyWizard: Twilight Sparkle.
* ShoutOut
** The Hellfire Brigade's [[Anime/ArmoredTrooperVOTOMs red shoulders]].
** Alot of Terran cybernetics are made by [[VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution Sarif Industries]]
** Squeshions calling humans "[[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} mon-keighs]]" Their mini mechas are named [[Series/DoctorWho Travel Machines]].
** The Protosapiens are a tribute to the [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey Firstborn]], the first race to gain sentience.
** MARJORINE deleted her emotions to gather more data efficiently, which Etheru has, quite a few times, clarified that this was inspired by Perceptor of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated''.
** "Like A Boss" by ''Music/TheLonelyIsland'' plays on the radio after Sunny mentioned that Eve drives like the [[VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird Boss]].
** The Protosapien Combat Skin is a major call out to both to the [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Forerunner Combat Skin]] and the [[Franchise/MetalGear Sneaking Suits]].
** Mina's Gray Glint armor is based on Franchise/{{Gundam}} mobile suits, right down to the helmet's samurai-like appearance and V-Fin.
** One battle with a [[VideoGame/{{Fallout3}} Super Mutant Behemoth]], the mutant uses crunched up cars as boxing gloves, akin to the ComicBook/IncredibleHulk, one character even lampshaded this.
* SpaceshipGirl: The TDN Mobius has a catgirl gynoid as an avatar, and the TDN Terra's Blessing also had a catgirl, that it gave to Blues, The TDN Trinity has a dragon girl one.
* {{Steampunk}}: The resort city of Velestia run on it along with crystal powered {{magitek}}.
* StoryBreakerPower: Before a rule that was recently set up, some contenders:
** The group has a ''lot'' of outside support, making the risk of enemies being too anticlimactic or otherwise unsatisfying in defeat. Somewhat recently mitigated, as of now, as budget cuts have happened.
** NOIR-01, whose power level, as detailed on the Paranoia Fuel entry, is ''nigh-instantly hacking into any computer'', as well as the fact he's immortal, has survived the heat death, and is a time traveler.
* SufficientlyAdvancedAlien: The Protosapiens, creators of NOIR-01, BLANC-00, the moonship, and related technologies.
* SuperSoldier: There are plenty. [[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} The Enclave's 1st Hellfire Brigade soldiers]], [[{{Franchise/Halo}} the UNSC SPARTAN program]], the Protosapien's Gray Glint clones, and the Cipher Brotherhood's Cipher Commandos and Cipher Assassins.
* TakeThat:
** The Jollywood Executives' jerkass and greedy personalities when possessed by Fassad is a slam against ExecutiveMeddling and related topics. [[invoked]]
** Another one.
---> '''Longram''': (On remarking Command and Conquer's Yellow zone in India): "[[VideoGame/FalloutTacticsBrotherhoodOfSteel Looks so much like Chicago]]."
** When Luca & Imca played the data log of the VideoGame/MassEffect3 ending, people don't take it well. Not only they considered how stupid it was, they saw results of it killing almost everyone in the galaxy.
** When thinking about who to troll, [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} B.B. Hood]] looks through a book called [[AssholeVictim "big book of jerks who deserve it"]]. Among the list are [[Series/DoctorWho River Song]], Creator/ElectronicArts, and Creator/MichaelBay.
* ThereAreNoTherapists : Averted, Imca may not be a professional psychologist, but she tries to help every one on the crew as much as she can.

** The Dream Master arc is based upon "Amy's Choice", a ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode regarding the protagonists trying to figure out which world is real and which one isn't. [[spoiler:The conclusion is even similar.]]

* AllJustADream: The Dream Master arc, with two scenarios meant to discover which was the dream and which was real. [[spoiler: They both were dreams.]]

* AndImTheQueenOfSheba: An apathetic and sarcastic Cipher Brotherhood mook told this to a GDI Commando.
--> '''Midori''': "[[BadassBoast I think you misheard, I am a zone commando I make my own damn authority. I passed the training program to become a commando, one with an abysmal success rate, only the best of the best are hand picked for trial, 90% of them are turned down, out of those 10%, 20% DIE in training, out of those remaining 85% DROP OUT OR FAIL... Out of all passing commandos only 30% become zone commandos. I can hijack any vehicle made, I duel wield a rail gun and a missile launcher... and I pilot a Zone suit.

* BadassCrew: The Hellfire Brigade, a battalion of US marines under the command of Colonel Longram. Justified since they used to be soldiers of the [[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} Enclave]].

* CompositeCharacter: Cave Bay was meant to represent, in the player's own words, "Creator/MichaelBay mixed with [[VideoGame/Portal2 Cave Johnson]]".

* DoomTroops: The Cipher Brothrhood's mooks are intended to be like this, originally a symbol of fear for the Cipherius Empire.

* Fiction500:
** [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Moriya]] [[MegaCorp Industries]] is so absurdly rich that they remodel a extremely tall skyscraper into a vacation spot for executives and that doesn't dent their coffers.

* GreenRocks: Celestial Jewels, the main source of the Cipher Brotherhood's power. Bonus: It gives anyone and anything godly power, can power entire cities and machines, cure diseases and cancer, and even has the potential to create nations (not literally).

%%* HegemonicEmpire: Lupo implied that that the Neo American Empire is this.
* IAmNotWeasel: Oberon, in his Toto alias, is mistaken for a dog because of Toto the dog.

%%* LittleGreenManInACan: The Squeshions, alien cephalopods in 8-feet tall MiniMecha called Travel Machines.

* LowCultureHighTech: The Melani tribes on Nalvis have access to modern[=/=]futuristic technology originated from their ancestor colonial starship while their culture is at tribal levels. This haven't made them inept at fully using them though.
%%* MacGuffin:
%%** The eight keys of the Great Game.
%%** The seven Chaos Emeralds.
* MacrossMissileMassacre : Swarmers of both the Terran Alliance, and Crysis variety are this, the only difference is there guidance system and engines, [[MoreDakka both are quite literally crates, packed with micro missiles, launched from the crate.]]
* MeaninglessVillainVictory: All of China's world conquering efforts in the Time Rift Earth Arc has worked out real well and they even cornered the group to their last stand. However, TheCavalry commanded by General Mitch devastated China's forces to save the battered group. To add insult to injury, China's hold on [=TimeRift!Earth=] would be all for naught shortly thereafter.

* OrderVersusChaos: Essentially there are two Evil Gods of Equestria Discord, who represents total chaos, and [[OriginalCharacter Stasis]] who represents total order. Needless to say it is not a good idea to let either one win.

In the end, nobody wins, not even the group who stops the game.[[spoiler: Not only that one villain ruined the the group's rep out of spite.]]
* ShowWithinAShow: ''[[Franchise/TheTwilightZone The Dusk Dimension]]'', and ''Disney's The Legend Of Zelda''.

%%* SupportingLeader: General Scott Mitchell
* TalkingWeapon: More like talking armor, Eve's armor has an AI named Lilly in it, although it can only talk to people wearing the armor.

[[caption-width-right:300: Deadpool: "Why am I all the way at the bottom? I deserve top billing!".]]
''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13101535110A19440100&page=1 We Are Our Adventuring Avatars]]'' (full title ''ITT: We Are Our Adventuring Avatars'') is a [[PlayByPostGame Play By Post Forum Game]] on the Administrivia/TVTropesForum and a spin-off of the original [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=i9k31ypluou9s5j9d2w7n23k&page=1 We Are Our Avatars]]. It focuses more on story driven role playing. The game focuses on a group who would became multiverse trotting mercenaries known as Kereboros Security.
Originally made because of players being disappointed with what they felt was a lack of plot from the original WAOA, a second topic was created as [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13086227680A36860100&page=1 We Are Our Epic Avatars]] but due to issues in player base, interest, and failure to communicate, it was soon discontinued. This game is currently over 200000 posts. New players can leap right in, provided they [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13100727210A69600100&page=1 read the rules]] and at least introduce themselves.
----
!!''We Are Our Adventuring Avatars'' provides examples of:
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:General]]
* AceCustom:
** The 1st Hell Brigade's power armor sets are customized by the wearer's preference, making them different from the standard issue type used by the main forces. Another distinctive attribute to their armor are [[Anime/ArmoredTrooperVOTOMs the asymmetrical red shoulders]].
** Eve wears a black set of terran commando armor, most sets are blue or camo, it also has a slit on the left arm and ports along the arms to account for the weapons in her cybernetics.
** On the villainous side: The Cipher Troopers wearing the Superiority Protection Gear armor series, the successor to the New American Empire's Frontline Gear armor series.
%%* AdamAndOrEve: The first names of the two married military oriented protagonists.
* AIIsACrapshoot: The TDN Langley however played this straight, [[BrainwashedAndCrazy mainly due to being hacked]] but it was later retconned into having a precursor device into her, making her insane.
* ArtificialHuman
** Imca is not natural, but rather artificially created, and while mostly squishy and quite like a normal gijinka, even if she is synthetic, does have some electrical bits in her head.
** Mina, a protosapien clone, is created in an artificial womb as a supersoldier. Her cybernetics inside her are [[OrganicTechnology biomechanical]] which grows alongside her body.
%%* ArtificialIntelligence: Lots.
* {{Autodoc}}: If any of the group's medic aren't available when needed most, the TDN-Trinity's Autodocs can heal the patient no matter how severe the injury, especially when they replaced body parts with advanced cybernetics.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: A number of characters have left the game without explanation or [[PutOnABus being put on a bus]].
** Etheru played a number of characters in the 2012 period of the game, and tended to drop them after being dissatisfied or bored with them.
** Mina Longram, one of Mr. Kirb's major characters circa 2013, disappeared after July 2013. No in-character reason was given, but OOC drama about the character contributed to her discontinued use. Longram has since said [[CanonDiscontinuity he doesn't have a daughter]].
* CityOfAdventure: Arakanea, Hal's Kingdom home to refugees from countless worlds, a church of magical girls, diamond mines, beaches, and teleporters to almost anywhere.
* ContinuityReboot:
** Happened on the fifth of March, the "in-universe" justification for that is when an unknown virus broke the fourth wall, forcing the powers that be to reboot the timeline.
** There is currently a plan to do this at least yearly, treating previous events [[BroadStrokes the way players wish to]].
%%* CoolHorse: Vanguard the pegasus.
* CoolStarship: The TDN-Mobius and later, the TDN-Terra's Blessing. After the Terra's Blessing destruction, the TDN-Trinity took its place.
* CreatorProvincialism: [=RhymeBeat=] is known to live in New York and tends reference elements of it most of the time.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Averted, the Cybernetic characters Eve and Longram are more calm and level headed then a lot of the fully biological ones.
* {{Cyberpunk}} Rhyme and Dave/Mike's Homeworld [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Cyber New York.]] A world still researching breakthroughs in cybernetics, where most of the population are choosing to alter themselves. There is also HardLight technology to some extent and medical breakthroughs that can combat brain tumors and allow for HomosexualReproduction.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Zig-zagged. Some of the players believe the overall tone of WAOAA is darker than WAOA. [[LighterAndSofter Though recent developments are seeing it be somewhat lighter, though this may change in the future.]]
* DarkMagicalGirl: There's the [[SuperpoweredMooks Cipher Magica]], SuperSoldiers with the power of {{Necromancy}} and inflicted with BodyHorror due to their enchancements.
* DepletedPhlebotinumShells:
** The Terran Alliance developed a variety of special ammunition, whenever if it's supernatural beings, demons, angels, machines, aliens, mutants, monsters, and even gods.
** The "Terran Alliance God Killers" in particular work by encasing the target in a unique, liquid metal, that once it hardens begins to partially fade from reality as a result it is immune to reality warping, [[AndIMustScream trapping the target inside a metal statue for all of eternity]], This metal is formed from subspace bore use, and as such is highly radioactive, and very dangerous on the spacial scale, even capable of causing rift storms if large quantities are present in one area, since it should not completely exist.
%%* DimensionalTraveler: Most of the cast are this, sharing the same premise with its parent RP.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Put Eve behind the wheel, your riding experience will be like a roller coaster through hell and Zel's [[UpToEleven even worse]] if he's driving.

* DysfunctionJunction: [[WithFriendsLikeThese Disturbingly so.]] Where to start?: An orphaned ShellShockedVeteran of a SuperSoldier designated to be expendable (to buy more time) to her superiors, an elite American commander with [[BrokenPedestal issues with a post-apocalyptic facist shadow organization]] with multiple regrets, a purple equine bookworm with SuperOCD and a WideEyedIdealist mindset clashing against CrapsackWorld elements, an angel artist whose dead lover is a ColdSniper, a bumbling scientist who created a reccuring villain by accident, a pacifist fox girl who happens to be immature, a SpaceshipGirl who loves radioactive cola, a trickster illusionist, a trigger happy kleptomaniac witch, a chainsaw wielding schoolgirl with an AxCrazy split-personality, a merc turned chimera, a very eccentric blacksmith whose body got screw up real bad, and finally, a ninja merc with very questionable sanity and they happen to be the recurring characters.
* {{Dystopia}}: The Cipher Brotherhood's remaining bastion worlds, major population centers and megacities under [[BigBrotherIsWatching constant watch of magical propaganda posters]], none of them are in good shape though. This is due to the fact the brotherhood is mainly focusing on their military and scientific research.
* {{Eagleland}}: Most of the American soldiers in the RP are portrayed positively, that includes the [[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} defected Enclave troopers]], [[VideoGame/{{Crysis}} Tera]], and the [[VideoGame/GhostRecon Joint Strike Force]] (Type 1).
%%* ElectronicEyes: Most Terran characters have these in some form or another. Most of the Hellfire Brigade marines have them too, Longram included.
* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: Some characters such as Imca, Luca,Mitch, Dave, Kris, Shiki,and Red are from RolePlay/WAOAHighSchoolAU, now as adults.
%%* FantasyKitchenSink: Considering this game's a massive crossover, this trope is inevitable.
* FasterThanLightTravel: Mostly for dimensional hopping though.

* {{Mooks}}: All of them vary.
** The 1st Hellfire Brigade themselves are EliteMooks.
** The Cipher Troopers are described to having their designs look like GasMaskMooks. On the Group's side: The Hellfire Brigade's [[GasMaskLongcoat Riot Gears]] have lower tech versions of the gas masks but only used by specialists or if power armor isn't a good option for the troops.

** [=Imca/Luca=] used to be this, but communications between the players became heated and they were broken up, eventually resulting in another Retcon where Imca became another character entirely.
* OutsideContextProblem: Because of the inter-dimensional aspect of the RP, Kerberos Security can be seen like this to the natives inhabiting the various universes.

It takes knowing the group itself to properly combat them and that even failed multiple times.
* PoweredArmor: Several Characters to wear this.
* ProHumanTranshuman: Some of the cyborg protagonists with cybernetics didn't mind having them.
* RealRobot: The [[TabletopGame/BattleTech Mad Cat]], and the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars Wildraubtier]].

** Imca/Sunova has changed the Terran Alliance in many ways, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13100727210A69600100&page=475#11860 see here for details]].

** Another one.
---> '''Longram''': (On remarking Command and Conquer's Yellow zone in India): "[[VideoGame/FalloutTacticsBrotherhoodOfSteel Looks so much like Chicago]]."
** When Luca & Imca played the data log of the VideoGame/MassEffect3 ending, people don't take it well. Not only they considered how stupid it was, they saw results of it killing almost everyone in the galaxy.
** When thinking about who to troll, [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} B.B. Hood]] looks through a book called [[AssholeVictim "big book of jerks who deserve it"]]. Among the list are [[Series/DoctorWho River Song]], Creator/ElectronicArts, and Creator/MichaelBay.

--> '''Midori''': "[[BadassBoast I think you misheard, I am a zone commando I make my own damn authority.

%%* HegemonicEmpire: Lupo implied that that the Neo American Empire is this.

%%** The eight keys of the Great Game.
%%** The seven Chaos Emeralds.
* MacrossMissileMassacre : Swarmers of both the Terran Alliance, and Crysis variety are this, the only difference is there guidance system and engines, [[MoreDakka both are quite literally crates, packed with micro missiles, launched from the crate.]]
* MeaninglessVillainVictory: All of China's world conquering efforts in the Time Rift Earth Arc has worked out real well and they even cornered the group to their last stand. However, TheCavalry commanded by General Mitch devastated China's forces to save the battered group. To add insult to injury, China's hold on [=TimeRift!Earth=] would be all for naught shortly thereafter.

* ShowWithinAShow: ''[[Franchise/TheTwilightZone The Dusk Dimension]]'', and ''Disney's The Legend Of Zelda''.
