History Roleplay / NoPixel

* GenreMashup: All the damn time. If you think about it, the uber-serious Bovice and Denzel storylines, or the scenes where Lauren or Hedi have somber heart-to-hearts with other characters, each coexist with a universe that includes cowboys, cyborgs, androids, gynoids, aliens, Bigfoot, brain transplants, zombies, [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark ManBearPig]], and SantaClaus.

* GranolaGirl: Georgina "Windsong" Williams fancies herself as a NewAgeRetroHippie. She believes in peace and love, eats a vegan diet, listens to Sixties and Seventies psychedelic rock, hates organized religion, and believes in herbal remedies. Her SpearCounterpart Jebediah “Beef” von Wunder, is [[TheWindbag more]] [[ThePhilosopher philosophically]] [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness inclined]] and has a MotorMouth, but definitely qualifies.

* WeirdCrossover: If you really think about it, having [[Series/TheWalkingDead Carl]] [[CaptainErsatz Crimes]], [[{{Trumplica}} Ronald Rump]], [[WesternAnimation/GoDiegoGo Diego]], [[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing Tom Nook]], [[VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077 Johnny Silverhand]], [[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]], and [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarepants Plankton]] all co-existing in the same universe -- ''especially'' when that universe includes [[VileVillainSaccharineShow realistically monstrous characters]] like Jasper Saxon or Bovice Wilkinson -- is pretty darn weird.

** Tor Mented, Dee's Juggalette sister, came to Los Santos specifically to hunt down and kill Dee. When she found out that the HOA had already
done the job, she changed her MO and put Dee's friends on her hitlist.

* TheTaxi: A common way for citizens to make money is to drive taxi, and the city's yellow pages are typically filled with taxi ads. Abdul's Taxi Service ("Don't be a fool, ride with Abdul!") and Rooster Cab Co. are the two of the most well-known taxi companies, but there are plenty of independent taxi drivers out there as well.

** Vivek Ramasquamy, on occasion.

* {{Fingore}}: A common injury that criminals inflict on other people is to remove their fingers.

* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: Therapist Pixie Plum has an affair with her former patient Bryce Miller.

** Mike Block is mostly DumbMuscle without a lick of sense; he attempted to claim MRPD as his "turf" within his first hour in the city, he causes random chaos around the police station all the damn time, once had Cheddar's heart stopped by a doctor in order to carry out a hit on an angel in Heaven, and can't see through Officer Toretti's [[PaperThinDisguise very poor disguises]]. But Mike also has a masters degree in civil engineering from MIT.

* GranolaGirl: Georgina "Windsong" Williams fancies herself as a NewAgeRetroHippie. She believes in peace and love, eats a vegan diet, listens to Sixties and Seventies psychedelic rock, hates organized religion, and believes in herbal remedies.

** If a character gets injured and isn't transported to a hospital or picked up by an EMS, and is unable to get picked up (or can't call for transport due to a lack of phone), they can respawn at Pillbox. If they do this, server rules them to forget the details of whatever got them injured; this is how no one knows about Tessa's "Mary Wolf" personality yet.

* TheCasanova: Yung Dab, particularly in 4.0.

* GenreRoulette: Depends on who you're watching. If you watch Lauren Forcer or Brittany Angel, you're more likely to get a cop drama. If you're watching Chang Gang or Prune Gang, you'll get a dark comedy. If you’re watching Yung Dab or Vivek Ramasquamy, you’ll get a demented crime/political satire like ''Film/{{Election}}''. If you’re watching Jason Polam, you’ll get a psychological thriller with elements of work sitcom. If you're watching Andi Jones, you'll get a light drama like on the mid-2000s Creator/USANetwork. If you're watching Windsong, you'll get a dramedy that wouldn't be out of place on Creator/{{HBO}}. If you're watching Bryce or Carmella, you're getting a show that wouldn't be out of place on Creator/TheCW.

** NPC's are called "locals."

If you're watching Bryce or Carmella, you're getting a show that wouldn't be out of place on Creator/TheCW.

** Lauren Forcer, Trish Baggs, Bill Ding, Damzel N. D'Stress, Dee Mented (and her undead form, Dee Ceased), Torrance "Tor" Mented, Sherry Paie, among others.

''[=NoPixel=]'' is a popular roleplay server showcased in several ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV Grand Theft Auto Online]]'' livestreams on Website/{{Twitch}}, Website/YouTube, and [[Website/{{Facebook}} Facebook Gaming]].

** Mickey Rivers, who oversees Weazel News.

** In 4.0, this seems to be the case with the candidates for Mayor in 2029.

** Tor Mented, Dee's Juggalette sister, came to Los Santos specifically to hunt down and kill Dee. When she found out that the HOA had already done the job, she changed her MO and put Dee's friends on her hitlist.

* {{Trumplica}}: Francis briefly disguised himself as Donald Trump in October 2020. He raged against "socialists," shot a ray gun at people he suspected of being "socialists," and eventually fled to Humane Labs and nuked Los Santos to rid it of the "socialists."

''[=NoPixel=]'' is a popular roleplay server showcased in several ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV Grand Theft Auto Online]]'' livestreams on Website/{{Twitch}} and [[Website/{{Facebook}} Facebook Gaming]].

Version 2.0 of the server, which was active during ''[=NoPixel=]'''s initial popularity boom, shut down for the final time on February 2, 2021. Its successor, the long-awaited ''[=NoPixel=]'' 3.0, launched on February 5; it is considered a soft ContinuityReboot, thus giving everyone a chance to start storylines anew, until ''its'' successor, ''[=NoPixel=]'' 4.0, another Continuity Reboot set after a 5-year TimeSkip, launched on December 15, 2023.

** In a city running off of cartoon logic, where most people can take several rounds from an AK to the chest and walk away from it after going to Pillbox, it's pretty noticable when someone actually ''does'' go to the ICU or permanently die from something that would be lethal in real life.

* ContinuityReboot: Whenever the server is upgraded to a new version, typically the memory is wiped, giving players the chance to restart their characters from scratch. The latest upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0 involved economy and criminal record wipes, required all characters to forget rivalries from before, remember their groups/gangs/friends if they wanted, and generally play as if they're meeting everyone else for the first time.

* AdamWesting: In December 2021, Moonmoon started playing on ''[=NoPixel=]'' again as a fictionalized version of himself. This was followed by other players on the server, including Penta, Kyle, Garek, [=TheChief1114=], Vigors, and a few others doing the same, showing how much [[WorldGoneMad Los Santos]] would [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome actually suck for them]].

Version 2.0 of the server, which was active during ''[=NoPixel=]'''s initial popularity boom, shut down for the final time on February 2, 2021. Its successor, the long-awaited ''[=NoPixel=]'' 3.0, launched on February 5; it is considered a soft ContinuityReboot, thus giving everyone a chance to start storylines anew.

However, what truly sets ''[=NoPixel=]'' apart is that it has inadvertently created a new form of storytelling. Instead of playing it as a conventional multiplayer game, the players act as if they're in a story, blending improv, roleplay, and basic cinematography. Each character's player can stream these stories online for all to see.

* WTHCastingAgency: InUniverse, for her documentary, Kiki Chanel casts [[FakeNationality Davey as Sheriff Tribble]], and [[CrossCastRole Natalia as Eugene]].

In addition, a non-whitelist public server, ''NP Public'', launched in June 2021, and was later split into the Purple and Green public servers. A South American server for Portuguese speakers, ''[=NoPixelSA=]'', launched in Spring 2022, and was followed shortly by ''[=NoPixel=] India'' for Indian players. ''[=NoPixel=]'' also launched its own ''VideoGame/{{Rust}}'' roleplay server in Summer 2022, and a Classic 2.0 public server in Spring 2023. Each of these take place in their own respective AlternateContinuities.

* DeadManWriting / DyingDeclarationOfLove: Accidental example: Dias left a note for Lauren in their house, apologizing for their relationship issues at the time, and expressing his hope to fix things and see her again; he later went on duty and was murdered by Denzel. Lauren and Hedi only [[https://clips.twitch.tv/SpunkyAssiduousSpiderChefFrank found and read it]] ''after'' he died, turning it into these tropes.

* StupidStatementDanceMix: Someone took clips of Penta's fanficcy stories about Wrangler, Peachingle, and Crane, as well as a few clips of [=JennybearTV=] playing Peachingle and nathankb_ playing Crane, and made an [[https://soundcloud.com/pentium-pro/oh-my-gawd?si=e36fa2e6f842475485ca8ee5221d5651 EDM mix]] around them.
-->'''Penta:''' This song...this song does ''not'' need to exist. ''[chuckles]'' This does ''not'' need to exist. This is not something--\\
''[continues playing song]''\\
'''Penta:''' I guess it does, though.

* TragicKeepsake:
** Hedi wears her late brother's headphones.

* [[ElvisLives Tupac Lives]]: In this universe, Music/TupacShakur not only faked his death, but casually hangs around Los Santos as a thrill-seeking criminal.

* NoPronunciationGuide: Generally, everyone pronounces Chief Baas's last name as "bass" (like the fish), but Sergeant Angel typically prefers to pronounce his name as "boss".

** Dee Mented saw Zee Nanakaze as the nurturing mother figure she'd never had. This made Dee incredibly defensive of Zee, which eventually led to Dee's permanent death at the hands of the HOA.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Are the other Dans somehow physical manifestations of Fingle Dan's personality? According to Fingle Dan, they're his siblings, but Kingle "Kinglemesh" Dan frequently introduces himself as "the personification of Fingle Dan's ego," so it's anyone's guess.
