Anaphora (created by Athena Lionheart) is a {{Low Fantasy}} {{Play by Post Game}} on Creativity Center. Its inception took place in September 2014, and has been running ever since. The roleplay is now in its second {{story arc}} as of July 10, 2015.

In Anaphora, humans can possess certain 'Traits'. They are described as '...the traits that made them who they were… that made them set apart from animals...' They are the things that make humans... well, human. When a human has one of these Traits, they are known as a [[{{Differently Powered Individual}} Trait Bearer]]. There are currently 10 good and 3 evil traits.

!Tropes in this work:
* {{All There in the Manual}}: The wiki. A lot of information about the world and characters that’s not talked about in the roleplay can be found there.
* {{Alternate Techline}}: The technology in Anaphora is mostly around what it is in modern-day earth, if a bit dated. Guns and ammunition are fairly scarce and very carefully controlled by the governments. Weapons in general are solely under their control, but guns are saved for the very best of marksmen. Swords, spears, and the like are a viable weapon in battle and are used by the majority of soldiers in war. No technological advances have been made in the past 500 years.
* {{Alternative Calendar}}: Currently it is the year 9,995. Anaphora has no BC or AD. Their years are divided by the seasons, 91 days each, with the New Year beginning on the first day of Spring. Different names are used for the seasons. Nivalis is winter, Ver is spring, Aestas is summer, and Cadere is fall. They use military time.

* {{Take Over The World}}:
** Subverted. Anaphora’s Redemption’s goal is to abolish the governments and rule over the Nations themselves. Only, they don’t want to cause any harm. They just want to fix the world and put an end to all of the horrible acts that the nation leaders have been doing.

* {{The Empire}}: Anaphora has 3 examples of this:
** Avaditas is ruled by a family of Greed Trait Bearers. The people of this county have nothing to their name except just enough food and their assigned apartments. Avaditas is by far the richest nation in the world, especially since they have the largest foothold in Cruore currently.
** The nation of Acritudo is headed by Cruelty. Notorious for the heartless torture and murder of prisoner of wars, citizens who disobey the slightest, and Trait Bearers, Acritudo has a large, ruthless army class of citizens above the regular workers. They were the strongest influence in Cruore until a battle ten years ago. The leading family has been known to kill their children who were not born Cruelty Bearers.
** Aspernor, the nation of Hate. From the outside, this may look like a better nation then Acritudo. Never be deceived. The people in this country have no freedoms whatsoever and are ruled by fear. Any citizen can be chosen to fight in their wars at any given moment. The old or sick are killed off, and the entire country is composed of only one race.

* {{Alternate Techline}}: The technology in Anaphora is mostly around what it is in modern-day earth, if a bit dated. Guns and ammunition are fairly scarce and very carefully controlled by the governments. Weapons in general are solely under their control, but guns are saved for the very best of marksmen. Swords, spears, and the like are a viable weapon in battle and are used by the majority of soldiers in war. No technological advances have been made in the past 500 years.
