History Roleplay / PowerAcademy

* NotWearingTights: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with.]] Although Power Academy is firmly established as a school for superheroes and supervillains alike, most (if not all) of its students and staff favor [[CivvieSpandex street clothes]] over costumes ([[PoweredArmor armor,]] [[SpyCatsuit specialized jumpsuits,]] et al aside) and avoid using codenames (except in some cases, [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname like Lightning and her "sisters"]]). Even the terms "superhero" and "supervillain" are rarely used, aside from joking about them.

* {{Fanservice}}: Plentiful, with both the [[MrFanservice male]] and [[MsFanservice female]] varieties.

* GenreBusting: As the description above would indicate. There are elements of adventure, comedy, romance, drama, science fiction, and slice of life throughout the roleplay.

** When contacting one of his subordinates, Alexei gives the countersign, [[{{VideoGame/MortalKombat3}} "There is no knowledge that is not power."]]

* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex: On the second day in-universe. Can be justified, considering the student population consists primarily of teenagers, whether they're finding true love or blowing off steam. Eventually dialed back when things became a little too predictable.

* UniversalCastAdaptor: Both in Alzeri's stories and in ''[[MayTheFarceBeWithYou Never Tell Me The Odds]].''

* BiggerOnTheInside: The Rec Hall--any room can be generated instantly upon opening the door based on what the guest is imagining. Want an Olympic-sized swimming pool? Bam, you have one.

* MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness: Anywhere from 1 to 3 [[DependingOnTheWriter Depending on the User]].

* SexyDiscretionShot: Enforced whenever the characters decide to have sex, per the forum's rule against writing lemons.

** The users' [[BatDeduction humorous]] [[InsaneTrollLogic rationale]] was as follows: "SnowEqualsLove, the snow started melting from the sun, heat and the sun equal sexuality, therefore melting snow equals libido."

** However, there are no characters played just for fanservice. As one of the users succinctly put it, "If you created a character solely for the purpose of fanservice, that's one thing. But if you create an attractive character and [[RoundedCharacter give them depth,]] then that's like real life, where [[TruthInTelevision attractive people have thoughts and dreams beyond walking about in skimpy clothes and turning people on."]]

*** Bottlecap mines are among Gill's inventions, and the design of Willow's outfit has been compared to the Vault 101 jumpsuit.

* AerithAndBob: There are characters with names like James, Sebastian, Valerie, Simon and Alice, as well as characters with names like Swilium, Talan, Midnight, Lightning and Atiago.

* {{Fanservice}}: Plentiful, with both the male and female varieties.

** Lightning is shown to be the resident [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pegasister]], wearing a Pinkie Pie-themed t-shirt at one point.
