History Roleplay / BountyHunterInn

* CutscenePowerToTheMax: ScriptedBattles tend to happen in far less time than normal ones, even if more than one writer is involved.

What is the ''Roleplay/BountyHunterInn'' (abbreviated BHI) about? Well, people create characters and they play around the titular inn. And as you may have also guessed, many of these characters are bounty hunters, of the ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}'' kind. As to what they do, let's just say it generally involves fighting. And stuff exploding.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Not our future, but the timeline is set some indefinite time after the main ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}'' canon.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Everyone has a player character, and is allowed to bring along as many [=NPCs=] as they wish.

Interestingly, while the game is mostly centered on the Metroid universe, this has been merged over time with the universes concerning these series:
* Series/DoctorWho (AKA Franchise/{{Whoniverse}}
* Franchise/{{Transformers}}
* Manga/{{Naruto}}
* Manga/{{Hellsing}}
* VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime (one of the founder's player character was Link after being Phazon-infused)
* VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChronicles

!!Examples:
* AbortedArc: The Drakorian Invasion event had to be [[strike: canceled]] fast-forwarded when the event master Pyre_AssaultX left. It was later picked up again and {{retconned}}into the invaders having left the planet for not quite clear reasons.

%% * CuteBruiser: [[spoiler: Maria's transformation into a pseudo-minotaur that can beat up Drakorians even better than the resident minotaur.]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Everyone has a player characters... and is allowed to bring along as many [=NPCs=] as he or she wishes.

* {{Retcon}}: Several have been needed as a result of either the Metroid canon clearing up some wild theories, or because some player has left and their characters had a big role in the game.
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Not our future, but the timeline is set some indefinite time after the main ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}'' canon.
* TotalPartyKill: Whenever someone does something particularly stupid in the midst of a sequence, the [[GameMaster Event Master]] has the authority of explaining why that was a bad move by describing the end of the lives of everyone involved. ''GAME OVER: Please insert coin to continue.''

So, there are many text [[RolePlayingGame RPs]] in the {{Fora}} . There are many [=RPs=] in the Website/GameFAQS. Hell, there are even two or three VideoGame/{{Metroid}} [=RPs=] going on [=GameFAQs=]. So what makes the Roleplay/BountyHunterInn so damn special is the fact that this particular RP has been going on for several years now. Currently going by topic number 36, and that's not counting all the topics that have gone down for inactivity and those modded for off-topic posting.

* AxCrazy: There have been a few, but the most notable has been Zekana.
* BerserkButton: NEVER should you make Kal'des angry.
* CerebusSyndrome
* ContinuityLockout: New players will often have to ask exactly what is going on before jumping in. Hell, old ones coming back ffom a rest may find themselves confused. Thankfully, most people can give you a briefing handily.
* CuteBruiser: [[spoiler: Maria's transformation into a pseudo-minotaur that can beat up Drakorians even better than the resident minotaur.]]

** [[RuleOfFun This is good, as quick battles where every enemy is a pushover would not be too fun to write.]]

* LaserBlade: These used to be pretty damn popular.

* MysteriousPast: We wish we had a coin for everyone whose character starts with one of these.
** We'd be even richer if we had a second one for every time that this turns out to be [[DarkAndTroubledPast less than pleasing]].

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Many, many of them.
* PutOnABus: Either when a player is bored with his current player character or when they have to go into a hiatus of playing.
** Whenever a player goes MIA, though, their characters are simply not referred to as long as it is possible.
* {{Squick}}: Metal_Ganon once wrote a few posts of Space Pirate erotica. People thought the [[BrainBleach same as you]].
* {{Retcon}}: Several have been needed as a result of either the Metroid canon clearing up some EpilepticTrees or because some player has left and their characters had a big role in the
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Not our future, but the timeline is set some indefinite time after the main VideoGame/{{Metroid}} canon.

** Of course, those involved can simply replay the turn and think with a better strategy. Event Masters are not allowed [[RocksFallEveryoneDies to be pricks]].
