History Roleplay / SaveTheEarth

* BodyHorror: Not all reincarnates' bodies match their preincarnations, and the transition is seldom mercifully neat - [[VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend Julien]]'s system fortunately changed to accommodate breathing with the lungs of a bird shortly ''after'' his lungs themselves changed, and an Echo left [[{{Bleach}} Shiro]] vomiting up shed bits of his stomach for its conversion to a carnivore's.

* AbandonedMine: The coal mine where the stone for the weird statues was supposedly quarried is long abandoned. After the [[http://savetheearth.dreamwidth.org/74551.html big relevant log]] plenty of characters have heard there's something to find in there, but not a lot believe it because ThisIsReality.

* AlienBlood: All over the place for the reincarnates, as many of them have blue, green, or yellow blood. The enemy {{Mooks}} don't bleed, though, and we don't know about the alien invaders themselves.

* AlienBlood: All over the place for the reincarnates, as many of them have blue, green, or yellow blood. The [[{{Mooks}} Vermini and Vermedi]] don't bleed, though, and we don't know about the alien invaders themselves.

* FlashBack: Preincarnation memories can take this form, and they can be jarring. Otherwise they may return in dreams, or bit by bit.

** As is the "noise/buzzing effect", which is inaudible to recording devices as well as NPCs.

* FiveManBand: The reincarnate students of the After School Numbers Club contrast plainly.
** TheHero: [[Anime/YuGiOh Bakura]], in mold - JumpedAtTheCall and is fascinated by the strange goings-on.
** TheLancer: [[{{Bleach}} Toshiro]]. Mistakable for a TagalongKid, but a grounded and reserved [[OnlySaneMan voice of reason]].
** TheBigGuy: [[SCryEd Kenji]]. Bold-natured, laid-back, and impulsive.
** TheSmartGuy: [[MarvelComics Kurt]]. [[StepfordSnarker Awkward and dry]] but intently intellectual.
** TheChick: [[EternalDarkness Anthony]]. Loyal, fretful, and idealistic.
** TheSixthRanger: [[{{SCryEd}} Tadashi]], Kenji's recently-inducted friend; [[{{Animorphs}} Alex]], club visitor from a private school.
** TheMentor: [[TheParasolProtectorate Mr. Lyall]].
** TeamPet: [[{{Redwall}} Stella]].

* OneSteveLimit: The currently-identified reincarnates include two Aarons (out of whom Aaron Strider shares a surname with an Avery Strider) and an Aeron, three Alexes (one of whom prefers "Xander"), two Johns, two Hikaris, and three Reginas (one was a cat). Kotetsu experienced a bit of confusion when a [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Kairi]] appeared on the network, who shares a name with his daughter.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: And ordinary college students, and a couple of ordinary middle school students.

* SuperSenses: Many reincarnates, but really, [[BlessedWithSuck it sucks]].

* SpiritualSuccessor: Roleplay/TheSkyTides and Roleplay/{{Singularity}} have both claimed that STE is theirs, particularly considering how much overlap there is from both games, even though the plot and tone of STE are quite different.

* AngelicBeauty: What some characters (and the imagined alternate universe fandom) thought Julien was becoming. Nope. He's turning into a much-less-glamorous giant pigeon.

* DreamingOfTimesGoneBy: Maya's first Echo is presented as a dream, and she based her books on it.

* EliteMooks: Vermedi, which are the size of a small person and don't need to possess something to fight. They usually appear in secluded areas far from civilians.

* FriendshipMoment: During the mine escapade Julien finds Aaron having a HeroicBSOD and [[HoldingHands takes his hands]], then [[HeadbuttOfLove touches their foreheads together]]. The latter is only possible - Aaron is OneHeadTaller - because [[WallSlump he's not standing]]. Later he takes pains to remind Aaron that YouAreNotAlone.

* IHaveManyNames: Aaron Strider ([[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Aragorn]]) has a preincarnation with a ''lot'' of them, to his dismay as he begins learning them one by one.

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: [[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia Colette Brunel]]. EvenTheGirlsWantHer!

* PartingWordsRegret: Tavia freaks out hearing that the person she'd been rude to for not appreciating her superhero fantasies has been killed.
* PastLifeMemories: Slowly gaining in number. Trouble is they tend to come with minimal context, if any, and can be misleading.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [[Literature/LordOfTheRings Aaron Strider]] and [[TheParasolProtectorate Randolph Lyall]] are two that come to mind. Kotetsu too, as the lone reincarnate cop.

* SmittenTeenageGirl: Tavia for Alan, with all her usual intensity.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Fay" and "Fai" are both common ways to spell the name of that one guy from ''Tsubasa''. Here, one spelling is used for his preincarnaton and the other for his reincarnation's nickname.
* SpiritualSuccessor: Roleplay/TheSkyTides claim that STE is theirs.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Both Roleplay/{{Singularity}} and Roleplay/TheSkyTides claim that STE is theirs, since there's a lot of overlap from both games and the muns are very excited to work with each other.

** TheHero: [[YuGiOh Bakura]], in mold - JumpedAtTheCall and is fascinated by the strange goings-on.

* OneSteveLimit: The currently-identified reincarnates include an Aaron and an Aeron (out of whom Aaron Strider shares a surname with an Avery Strider), two Alexes, two Johns, two Hikaris, and three Reginas (one is a cat). Kotetsu experienced a bit of confusion when a [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Kairi]] appeared on the network, who shares a name with his daughter.

* MisfitMobilizationMovement: [[WeAREStrugglingTogether Always under attempt]], at this point!

* CityOfAdventure: So far the game is restricted to Locke City and the land around it. Characters can leave, but being too far away removes their echoes and related memories, both of which return when they do.

* MixAndMatchCritters: Vermini-infested animals take on human features.

* PlotCoupons: The characters were told that they had to collect a set of {{Mineral MacGuffin}}s. As it turned out, the story about the gems was a fabrication to get the characters to sit still enough for Thunder to spring their trap.

* MixAndMatchCritters: Vermini-infested animals take on human features.

* TheGadfly: [[{{Hakuouki}} Souji]].

* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Souji.

* HoYay: InUniverse gag - Colette has a bit of a crush on Julien, who, between his fond mentions and admiring poetry, she thinks may, in turn, have a bit of a crush on Aaron Strider...

* OneSteveLimit: The currently-identified reincarnates include an Aaron and an Aeron (out of whom Aaron Strider shares a surname with an Avery Strider), two Alexes, two Johns, two Hikaris, and three Reginas (one is a cat). Kotetsu experienced a bit of confusion when a [[KingdomHearts Kairi]] appeared on the network, who shares a name with his daughter.

* SirSwearsALot: Skyler, in contrast with his squeaky-clean preincarnation. The ''Homestuck'' examples all carried over their colourful vocabulary, too.

* PlotCoupons: The characters ''may or may not'' have to collect a set of {{Mineral MacGuffin}}s. Either the Sage who told them about it was telling the truth, as supported by his knowledge of both the aliens and the reincarnations, or the story about the gems was a fabrication to get the characters to sit still enough for Thunder to spring their trap. Both interpretations are supported in the text and the characters can't agree on it either.

* ParanoiaFuel: In-universe. None of the reincarnates know who to trust, including whether or not they should be sharing information about themselves with others on the network.

* ReincarnationRomance Youou and Fay (Kurogane and Fai) are [[RedStringOfFate soulmates]], and are instantly drawn to each other.

* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampires: Alexander Varista, Adrian Telby, and Fay Forster are all ''very'' kindly vampires.

* OneSteveLimit: The currently-identified reincarnates include an Aaron and an Aeron, two Alexes, two Johns, two Hikaris, and three Reginas (one is a cat). Kotetsu experienced a bit of confusion when a [[KingdomHearts Kairi]] appeared on the network, who shares a name with his daughter.

* AerithAndBob: Most characters whose preincarnations had names that would stick out in Locke City, USA have reincarnations with more standard names. Not all; in the city are Alex Kusnitz ([[{{Animorphs}} Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill]]) and Fenn Forster ([[TsubasaReservoirChronicle Fai Fluorite]]) alongside [[GundamUnicorn Banagher Links]] and [[MassEffect Mordin Solus]], for example.
