History Roleplay / RulesOfNature

* CentralTheme: A major theme of the world of Rules Of Nature is the idea that there is NothingLeftToDoButDie in the TimeAbyss, as while there is an infinite amount of possibilities, it's only what is possible--so something completely impossible is not allowed.The BrokenMasquerade might be cool on the surface level --but actually living in a AdventureFriendlyWorld isn't as great as it sounds with RealityEnsues being one of the biggest problems and its not uncommon for the CreatureHunterOrganization (primarily the North American one) to have TotalPartyKill of some of their forces on the daily to the point where one of the top guys even remarks they'd actually lose effectiveness if they didn't operate on the idea that WeHaveReserves.

The world is a place many beings call home. Humans. Cats. Dogs. Whales. Trees. Vampires. The last one may have been a bit out of the ordinary, but even creatures as mythical as them can inhabit this world, though they currently prefer to conceal themselves from prying eyes for a multitude of reasons. It could be survival, or it could be the fact that they prey on humans and do not wish to be hunted down.

* WorldOfBadass: the world is one, noticeably it does resemble our original world with additions such as mana--the real divergence for the AlternateHistory was only in the 90's after all

** [[spoiler: Another theme is whether or not one should be content with their lot in life simply because to many people, HardWorkHardlyWorks when the ChosenMany can casually upstage what you have been spending your entire life on in a week. Leo, while noting that having TheGift or being a BornWinner does help out to the point it's unfair in life--him basically winning the lottery on that--genuinely believes that people should be able to EarnYourHappyEnding, no matter their situation in life as long as they work hard at it regardless of circumstances]]

**[[spoiler: Another theme is whether one should care about what limits society places on people, as Ben believes that people who limit themselves with being selfless are idiots for not being selfish, and those who try to justify why they feel they have no right to complain about their situation are just restraining themselves, which makes him pissed off as what he desires is a world where no one holds themselves back with excuses and indulges in their desires. Leo however believes that caring about others and not indulging in your own desires to help them is the mark of a human, as while he can't accept ben's beliefs he does understand somewhat why he has them and wishes for people to be able to resolve their situations openly.]]

* AchievementsInIgnorance: What the entire Airport fight between Leo and the Progenitor Pride amounts to, because of what was essentially prioritizing the right skills, picking the right perks, having the Social Link Perk geared to survival, along with getting equipment that just so happens to negate Pride's AttackReflector skills. What should have been a game ending battle instead turned into a victory that was BeyondTheImpossible.

* DespairEventHorizon:[[spoiler: Akasha had three,one was understanding that one can't experience everything in the universe due to time still being a thing, so he could not fulfill his wish of exploring every possibility.

The third which just went FromBadToWorse was reigning so long as a hegemony god, to the point he was DrivenToSuicide along with all the sensories:they just want his world to end and have tried numerous times to get someone to DestroyTheWorld.]]

* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: Later in the story [[spoiler: it was revealed that Leo was a sociopathic murder machine as a kid and an expy of the antagonist from Dies Irae, [[VisualNovel/DiesIrae Reinhard Heydrich]].
