History Roleplay / PowerAcademy

* CityOfAdventure: NPCs, [[ShopKeeper shops]] and sidequests aplenty.

** LovecraftCountry: There are a couple of hints that the Academy is somewhere in southern New England.

* CityOfAdventure

* SuperheroRegistrationAct: One is being considered by the government in-story; the debate is heated but civil. However, after a town is [[spoiler:apparently]] destroyed by a lone superhero, the debate ends up sparking a civil war when the Act is hurriedly passed. [[spoiler:It's the result of the villains manipulating events to escalate the conflict in an attempt to tear the heroes apart.]]

* ZombieApocalypse: One of the non-canon side stories. A smaller-scale zombie apocalypse also occurred to Paranorm in the past.

** On a future in-universe day, a cosplay/masquerade event is planned. Expect many more shout outs to come.
[[/folder]]

* AlternateRealityEpisode: Alzeri's enchanted books can literally suck people in, forcing them to act out the story before they can leave.
** StorybookEpisode
* DeepImmersionGaming: Forms the basis for the training grounds and the holoroom.
* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex: On the second day in-universe, but eventually dialed back when things became a little too predictable. Can be justified, considering the student population consists primarily of teenagers, whether they're finding true love or blowing off steam.
** The users' [[BatDeduction humorous]] [[InsaneTrollLogic rationale]] was as follows: "SnowMeansLove, the snow started melting from the sun, heat and the sun equal sexuality, therefore melting snow equals libido."
* FiveManBand: Dr. Archer gives a lecture on the trope in Team Relations 101.
* FoeRomanceSubtext: A triple example: Swilium originally created Wendy as his new girlfriend; she eventually turned against him. Later, she reveals to Isaac that she was modeled after Tala (who also turned against Swilium), herself an OppositeSexClone of [[HomoeroticSubtext his rival Talan]].
** This is pretty rampant throughout the story, with other examples including Helena/Talan and Warpen/Valerie.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Isaac comments on the fact that it's snowing on the second day: "Right now, it's at the end of summer, supposedly. Then again, for some strange reason, it does feel like we've already been here for months..."
* LightningGun: Part of Talan's laser collection.
* MayTheFarceBeWithYou: One of the Alternate Universe threads is ''NeverTellMeTheOdds,'' a satirical, postmodern retelling of the StarWars films [[http://static.nomachetejuggling.com/machete_order.html in Machete Order]], with the Power Academy cast. It oscillates between [[DeconReconSwitch parodying the series' narrative failings and reconstructing them.]]
* TriangRelations: Initially Type 5 between Aqua (a), Swilium (b) and Christine (c). Type 8 between Wendy, Tala and Isaac.
* TwoPersonPoolParty: Sometimes subverted in that sex does not occur.

* VirtualTrainingSimulation
** DeadlyTrainingArea: Alexei puts his best effort to avert this in his simulator grounds, ensuring that none of the students actually die in the middle of a scenario.
* WebcomicTime: Due to the play-by-post nature of the roleplay, time works very strangely in-universe.

* WeirdScience

* [[spoiler:AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: Terminus launches a full-out assault on the Academy in the endgame.]]

* PocketDimension:

* CastOfSnowflakes

* GenreBusting: As the description above would indicate. There are elements of adventure, comedy, romance, drama, contemporary fantasy, science fiction (particularly elements of SteamPunk and PostCyberPunk), and SliceOfLife throughout.

* WeirdScience
* ZettaiRyouiki: The [[MiniDressOfPower miniskirt]] variation was part of the female uniform. In designing their [[NonuniformUniform team outfits]], Valerie also incorporates this for a few of [[AmazonBrigade the ANGELs.]]

* EternalEngine: Vladimir's hideout, a sprawling complex that serves as his main laboratory [[PlayingWithSyringes (or abattoir, depending on who one asks).]]

** UrbanFantasy
* MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness: Anywhere from 1 to 3 DependingOnTheWriter.
* 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), avoid using codenames (except in some cases, [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname like Lightning and her "sisters"]]), and generally eschew or subvert typical superhero cliches.

* [[CastFullOfGay Cast Full of Bi]]: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]]. At the very least, there are very few characters who fall into either of the extremes on [[JustForFun/KinseyScaleOfTropes the Kinsey Scale]]. Aside from the multitude of bisexual characters (male and female alike) in the story, including those who mainly interact with the opposite sex anyway, there are a lot of otherwise purely straight or gay characters who tend to have [[IfItsYouItsOkay individual exceptions]]--as well as sexually fluid characters. Individual sexuality is still acknowledged, making this distinct from EveryoneIsBi.
* CastOfSnowflakes
* CerebusRollercoaster
* ChekhovsGun, ChekhovsGunman: Many plot elements are foreshadowed beforehand; long before the school uniforms were made, Valerie was seen sketching designs for them, for instance.

* NoOSHACompliance: Selene's Villainy 101 classroom.
* PocketDimension

* ShowerOfLove
* TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow: At least two varieties: the [[HumanoidAbomination Creators]] (such as Jonathan and Bethany), and the [[EldritchAbomination Great Old Ones]] (such as [[HeroKiller Terminus]]).
* TimeTravelEpisode: ''Visitors From the Future,'' an alternate universe thread.

* ZettaiRyouiki: The [[MiniDressOfPower miniskirt]] variation was part of the female uniform. In designing their [[NonuniformUniform team outfits]], Valerie also incorporates this for a few of [[AmazonBrigade the ANGELs.]]
* ZombieApocalypse: One of the non-canon side stories.

* ApocalypseHow: Alice and her family grew up in a hellish, irradiated wasteland left over from a nuclear war, and Garrett mentions that [[ZombieApocalypse a huge zombie epidemic]] broke out about 30 years prior--about a Class 1.

* BikiniBar / HostClub: The Den of Angels, a high-class exotic dance club, is a fusion of these two tropes.
* BizarreSeasons / EmpathicEnvironment: Over the course of the first three days in the forum, Power Academy has experienced a warm, sunny day, a snowy morning quickly turning into an overcast day where the snow melted, and a rainy day. Consecutively.
** Although the later retcon about [[WebcomicTime time's passage]], with each "day" being a sort of montage of the events of a week, causes the weather to make a little more sense.
* BoardingSchool: [[CaptainObvious Power Academy.]]
* CityOfAdventure: Paranorm, the town outside campus.

* MirrorUniverse: One is explored in ''Visitors From the Future'', wherein everyone's morality is inverted (James is now an evil cultist in addition to being head of the Academy, for instance).
* MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness: Anywhere from 1 to 3 DependingOnTheWriter.
* TheMultiverse

* 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), avoid using codenames (except in some cases, [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname like Lightning and her "sisters"]]), and generally eschew or subvert typical superhero cliches. Even the terms "superhero" and "supervillain" are rarely used, aside from joking about them.
** NotUsingTheZWord: Also played with.

* AerithAndBob: There are characters with names like James, Christine, Gill, Valerie, Grace and Alice, as well as characters with names like Swilium, Talan, Quasar, Lightning and Atiago.
* ActionGirl and DarkActionGirl: Generally, unless explicitly stated to be otherwise, female characters in this universe can really kick some ass.
* AlternateRealityEpisode: Alzeri's enchanted books can literally suck people in, forcing them to act out the story before they can leave.
** StorybookEpisode

* BeachEpisode
* 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.
** This applies to the forum in general; over time, rooms and areas are added as needed.
* BizarreSeasons / EmpathicEnvironment: Over the course of the first three days, Power Academy has experienced a warm, sunny day, a snowy morning quickly turning into an overcast day where the snow melted, and a rainy day. Consecutively.

* DysfunctionJunction: Nearly everyone has their own set of issues to deal with. However...
** ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted thanks to Magi, the school's psychiatrist.
* EnforcedColdWar: Between the heroes and villains, [[ZigZaggedTrope usually.]] A small amount of heroes and villains [[GoKartingWithBowser intermingle]]; a few even [[DatingCatwoman fall in love.]]
* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex: On the second day in-universe, but eventually dialed back when things became a little too predictable. Can be justified, considering the student population consists primarily of teenagers, whether they're finding true love or blowing off steam.
** The users' [[BatDeduction humorous]] [[InsaneTrollLogic rationale]] was as follows: "SnowMeansLove, the snow started melting from the sun, heat and the sun equal sexuality, therefore melting snow equals libido."

* {{Fanservice}}: Plentiful, and equal-opportunity--the amount of [[MrFanservice male]] and [[MsFanservice female]] fanservice is treated equally. LGBT relationships are also visible in the story as well.
** However, there are no characters who serve solely as eye candy. 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."]] The general rule would then be that characters, fanservicey or not, are just treated like people.
** [[{{In-universe}} With some characters in-story,]] it also seems to be deconstructed; Tala, Wendy, and Bethany are all quite fanservicey, but were artificially created to look the way they do (by male creators, no less)--a fact that haunts them to no end; breaking free of the roles set for them is a big part of their character development. See also the AlternateCharacterInterpretation for Lightning.

* SexyDiscretionShot / {{Lime}}: Enforced whenever the characters decide to have sex, per the forum's rule against writing lemons. This only applies to explicit sex, though.
* SharedUniverse: Hints of this.
* ShoutOut: Tons. For instance...
** In the simulator, Tala morphs her arms into [[VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}} Fat Boy nuke launchers]].
*** Bottlecap mines and bottlecap knuckles are among Gill's inventions.
*** In addition to Willow's jumpsuit being blue and yellow, the serial number on the back reads v101-3.
** Talan's combat armor is based heavily off of [[Franchise/MassEffect N7 armor]].
** Trim's spell incantations are taken from ZatchBell
** Lightning is shown to be the resident [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pegasister]], wearing a Pinkie Pie-themed t-shirt at one point. And in the ''Visitors From the Future'' thread, Isaac verifies his future self's identity by asking who their favorite of the Mane Six is (answering with Fluttershy).
*** She is also shown wearing a [[{{Pokemon}} Poke]][[{{Tumblr}} bra]] to seduce Talan.
** Adrian's repertoire of poisons includes [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps Nova-6]], and he later works on a potion that replicates [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum Titan]].
** Lily is near-constantly compared to [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Poison Ivy]], [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore much to her chagrin]].
** The entire ''Global Civil War'' thread is a shout-out to, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin well]], Comicbook/CivilWar.
** ''The Glass Eye'' shows the heroes traveling to an alternate universe to fight a great evil...and said universe turns out to be [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion the Shivering Isles]].
** When contacting one of his subordinates, Alexei gives the countersign, [[VideoGame/MortalKombat3 "There is no knowledge that is not power."]]
** The ANGELs can be summarized as crimefighting cheerleaders. [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Sound familiar?]]
** And the inevitable ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'' quote. On the morning of Day 3 in the lunch room, after Tripp [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial denies there is such a thing as time travel]] and quickly departs, Isaac responds with a deadpan "What an eccentric performance."
** Some students, such as [[{{Series/Warehouse13}} Alice Darmor]], are references in and of themselves.
** evil!Timmy's base of operations is a replica of [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 the Space Colony ARK]] (which also shows up in ''Global Civil War''), while evil!Simon's fortress is essentially a mashup of [[VideoGame/MortalKombat3 Shao Kahn's fortress]] and [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Minas Morgul]].
** On a future in-universe day, a cosplay/masquerade event is planned. Expect many more shout outs to come.
