History Roleplay / ChernoAlphaVsTheWorld

* {{Born Lucky}}: Shadows, who has an incredible ability to produce high rolls and crits. Standard practice in the thread is now that if a roll is particularly critical, all players will wait for Shadows to turn up and roll it. This has ''never failed.'' Borders on {{Maybe Magic Maybe Mundane}}. [[spoiler:It is magic. Every time Shadows rolls low or critfails..somebody else rolled a dice earlier then her and has a high dice or critsuccess.]]

** It's happened more than once to Cherno now, and the effect has been compared to the Kirk Shirt Rip.

* ShoutOut: One of [[http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/murder-on-the-cherno-express-ca-vs-the-world-thread-iii.268486/page-67#post-11748523 open_sketchbook's updates]] referenced [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13753862300A16245900 Wild Ronin]], who [[spoiler: [[HeroicSacrifice got destroyed fighting a Cat IV Kaiju]] in her hands, after [[ZergRush waves of invasion]] against multiple events.]] There are now over 40+ Kaijus in Japan, [[spoiler: though not a one of them lives in Tokyo itself.]]

* YouShallNotPass: There's a weekly attack on Vladivostok, in addition to any cases where Cherno, or the conventional forces, go hunting for Kaiju to shoot.

* WakeUpCallBoss: Gogiora, the first Category III. Until then the tanks had been useful in battles, even all but scoring a category I kill on their own. Gogiora proved just why the Jaegers were necessary by destroying all but one of the tank squadrons.

* AntiClimaxBoss: [[spoiler: Zodzig, being the first Cat I to appear after many Cat III's and IV's, was thought to be a lot more dangerous then what it's category suggested but ends up getting one shotted by helicopters.]]

** After Irwin [[spoiler: revealed it's lightning power that rendered homing weapon almost useless.]]

* ParanoiaFuel: After dealing with a Cat III and IV's, a Cat I shows up on the scanners. Naturally the GenreSavvy players immediately expected O_S lulling them into a false sense of security. Turns out, they were [[spoiler: seemingly right at first, as the kaiju managed to tank a plasma barrage from the S-100's but then gets killed immediately by helicopter missiles.]]

* Every thread title is a reference to a certain media.

* Every thread title is a reference to a certain media, whether it be an anime or a movie.

* ActionBomb: Interloper, a Class II Kaiju,is one.

** While picking a recently burnt Kaiju and [[GrievousHarmWithABody using it to beat another Kaiju]] is very awesome, this would cause the Kaiju spill Kaiju Blue everywhere as the body is no longer intact. {{Lampshaded}} by a forum member who says this exact trope near word for word.

* BossInMooksClothing: Ontaru may have been classed as a Category III but in practice was on par with weaker Category [=IVs=].

** Gispir even more so. He feels no penalties for injury, and keeps attacking Cherno ''after he's officially dead.''

* EvilCounterpart: The Kaiju Mahigo. Like Cherno it was a heavily armoured, hand to hand specialist with a preference for charging. It even uses the same taunt. Also like Cherno it ended up [[spoiler: losing one of its arms.]]

* GetBackHereBoss: Due to Joe's ability to teleport, he manages to flee from battles that he would've been killed in.

* HollywoodAcid: Though he didn't get much of an opportunity to use it Ontaru could produce this.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Interloper, a Kaiju that uses fuel to create fireballs, is done in by his own weapon by Cherno Alpha just igniting the fuel with it's missiles. Justified,as it was meant to self destruct on Cherno Alpha.

Standing between the factory city of Vladivostok and its two million inhabitants against a ever increasing wave of Kaiju. Cherno Alpha fights for Russia, no Kaiju will get past Cherno Alpha. One Jaeger versus the Apocalypse. It's time to show the Kaijus some Russian Hospitality through the means of tesla fists, Ukrainian hardhouse, and atomic fire.

** While picking a recently burnt Kaiju and [[GrievousHarmWithABody using it to beat another Kaiju]] is very awesome, it'll bring less resources since it's less intact due to bludgeoning a Kaiju with it. {{Lampshaded}} by a forum member who says this exact trope near word for word.

** The Cat III Kaiju Petro, after he unleashes [[spoiler:a magnetic weapon, causing Cherno and Cossack's joints to seize up and almost completely immobilise them]].

** Gispir even more so. He feels no penalties for injury, and keeps attack Cherno ''after he's officially dead.''

* ArcWords: Shit is fucked.

* MightyGlacier: In the first few weeks, the only tactics used by Cherno were to move toward Kaiju and tank their damage while punching them. Too bad the Kaiju didn't even have a chances to land a hit. [[LightningBruiser After a few research rolls however...]]

* NoSell: Ontaru doesn't even flinch thanks to his armor when faced with a barrage of tank shells and Cherno's Thermite Rocket Pack.
** Onderon tanked 45 artillery strike like nothing, thanks to a player decision to target his eyes...which had natural defenses.
*** Which was then subverted awesomely when a single tank DOES manage to hit Onderon in the eye immediately afterwards...[[MomentOfAwesome and instantly kills it.]]
