History Roleplay / SkyratesRoleplay

%%* DoesNotLikeShoes: Generally very subtly applied. Not nearly as common as general furry-influenced genres.

** One League [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority "officer"]] intentionally shares a first name with a certain [[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick Miss Starshine]].

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Considering that it's an roleplay forum, it's to be expected. In fact, [[http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pifLK5avd2JHrx6RItqHOcQ there is a spreadsheet]] dedicated to keeping track of these characters.

This article concerns itself with the roleplay in ''VideoGame/{{Skyrates}}'', an free to play MMORPG. The roleplay forums are rather dedicated, and many of the things that go on in roleplay end up [[AscendedFanon accepted into canon.]]

!! This work provides examples of:

* AcePilot: Considering that this is a flight related game set in a flight related world, yeah, there are plenty.
* ActionGirl: As common as any other kind of badass really.
* ActionSurvivor: Hau Long, though he's quickly [[TookALevelInBadass taking levels in badass]]
* AirborneAircraftCarrier: Some of the more affluent of the characters own these. For example, the Black Pearl and The Big Figure, both Zeppelins (Not [[InsistentTerminology blimps]]), both capable of carrying a fleet of ships.

* TheAlcoholic:
** Waiwaera
** Ellington
** Aeson Strafe
** Aldin Forseth
** Natalie Forrester.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Pirates, when they're not ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything.
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Erika, rescued by Chakide.
* ArchEnemy: Blake to Rubrum, or so the latter would think. The former probably has 5 or so more
* AscendedExtra: Erika is [[spoiler: was]] on her way to becoming a more regular character.
* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: Violet and Daryn have brought quite a lot of joy.
%%* BadassPacifist: Hau fit this up until his brawl with Chakide
* BadassCrew: Take any of the raiding parties during the Unobtainium Project finale, and you've got one.
* BadassBookworm: Rubrum
* BerserkButton: Do not hurt Kaylee in front of Waiwaera. Really, just don't.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Many of the "pacifist" characters are known to show a surprising level of badassery when provoked.
* BodyguardCrush: Kaylee and Waiwaera
* TheCasanova: We've had a few:
** Talon was this, getting about 10 women at once. This however, backfired when they all dumped him at the same time.
** Hyashi
** Ivan Hirst
** Blake Spencer does have signs of this. He's been trying to improve though. Emphasis on 'trying'.
* CampGay: Canid

* CharacterAlignment: Considering the amount of characters, the sections have been moved to the bottom.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: At least one to date
** Mary Ann and Lena were this during their time on Earthbreach
* CloudCuckooLander: The Azure League is often treated as this, not entirely without cause.

** A much better example would be Xethos Borgenwelch.
* CoatFullOfContraband: Tabitha Sharp, who claims to "trade in medicines" is almost never seen without her trenchcoat either on or nearby. similarly so with her bookbag, which she claims holds her sketchbook and camera, things she doesn't want to lose. In reality, however, they both hold drugs, in addition to aforementioned supplies.
* CountryMouse:
** Mary Ann when she first arrived at the RnP from Echo. Still shows signs of it, although she's gotten a little wiser to the world since.
* {{Courier}}: Lena Draw, most of Vincent's characters.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: A dime a dozen, much like badasses.
* DarkerAndEdgier: [[MadnessMantra holycraptheUnobtainiumProjectfinaleHOLYCRAPTHEUNOBTAINIUMPROJECTFINALE]]
* DeathOfTheHypotenuse: [[spoiler: Flint's death]] is arguably this.
* {{Determinator}} / MadeOfIron: Most pilots/characters in general, but ''especially'' members of the Armada.
* DeusExMachina: [[spoiler: Morgan lives.]]
* DieselPunk: Darker or more gritty portrayals of the setting may lean towards this at times.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Generally very subtly applied. Not nearly as common as general furry-influenced genres.
* TheDogBitesBack: Hau destroys the engines on The Big Figure, after being coerced into working for Blake.
* TheDragon: Chakide von Gunari to Blake Spencer
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler: the almost death of Morgan Bantex]]. Quite effective, actually.
* DrowningMySorrows: Aeson does this.
* DrunkenMaster: Waiwaera
* EliteMook: Any named non-PC enemy character. May end up becoming a full character, possibly with a HeelFaceTurn around the same time.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Blake has shown considerable levels of compassion towards Maya.
* ExactEavesdropping: Of course, why else would you roleplay it?
* {{Expy}}: Many characters are admittedly based off of others.
* ExtendedDisarming: Some characters upon entering the R&P tavern. Kept just this side of realistic in some cases.
** Shrike Leonheart.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Does anybody really expect the bomb to go off?
* FirstGirlWins: Kaylee Stallengrant vs Lena Draw with Waiwaera.
* FiveManBand: Slivoh's crew, depending on the situation, can be either. Or both.
** TheHero / TheBigBad: Slivoh
** TheLancer / TheDragon: Lilah
** TheSmartGuy / TheEvilGenius: Dragan
** TheBigGuy / TheBrute: Malcolm
** TheChick / TheDarkChick: Kat
* FourStarBadass: Markus Jarnhann.
* FriendlySniper: Colonel Marcus Langley of the Crimson Armada, ''at your service''.
* FromACertainPointOfView: Blake's method of misguiding the general public
* UsefulNotes/FurryFandom: Toes the line for obvious reasons.
* GeniusCripple: Lanisha, hard of hearing mechanic.
* AGodAmI: Blake Spencer, in the Unobtainium Project.
* HannibalLecture: The villains among the community are fond of these.
* HappilyMarried: Zhana and Talyn
* HeroicBSOD: Plenty.
** Rubrum Veritas, when [[spoiler: Morgan "dies."]] Quickly turns into a RoaringRampageOfRevenge though.
** Rudolf, when [[spoiler: Morgan "dies."]]
** Aeson Strafe, when [[spoiler: Flint,]] his best friend since childhood, is KilledOffForReal
* HeroicBystander: Hau Long.
* HiddenDepths: Since everybody has only a few characters to work on, most of them have some depth to them. Characters may often play their cards close to their chest [[DarkAndTroubledPast for other reasons]].
* HomeschooledKids: Several characters have been stated to have been homeschooled.
** Naes Draw was homeschooled by his [[OutlawCouple parents,]] leading to him having some interesting skills.
** Vincent Cross is, according to his player.
** Otto Odell was homeschooled by his brother.
** Maya was also apparently homeschooled.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl:
** Aldin 6'8" and Lena 5'1"
** Maya 5'2" and Blake 6'7"

* [[{{Pun}} Incredibly Lame Pun]]: The community is fond of these. Can develop into a ''full blown'' HurricaneOfPuns if you're not careful.
** One of the characters is named "Hau Long." The name is such easy bait for these jokes.
* InnBetweenTheWorlds / GoodGuyBar / LocalHangout: Whilst not strictly between 'worlds', The Rotor & Prop is exactly ''where'' it needs to be, ''when'' it needs to be, all as the plot demands. Villainous types are usually ''tolerated'' as long as they behave themselves/don't brag about what they've done/aren't beyond the MoralEventHorizon yet, and it's where a lot of casual interaction takes place.
* IntoxicationEnsues: Two notable instances both stem from Rubrum dosing other characters, as well as himself once.
** another time Thales Miletus, a new-to-join gentleman asked for "the strongest scotch you have, off the rocks." Tabitha, seeing a good chance to prank him switched it out for F the World, which "may as well be rocket fuel."

* KarmaHoudini: Xethos gets away after [[spoiler: killing Flint.]]
** Also, Blake (the person) has said that Blake (the character) has gotten off pretty easy, considering what he'd done.
* KnightTemplar: Blake Spencer.
* LampshadeHanging: Some of us being tropers (me), certain characters are known to do so.
* LargeHam: Once again, many, many characters. Notably, Blake Spencer.
* LethalChef: Mote
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Considering that it's an rp forum, it's to be expected. In fact, there is a spreadsheet dedicated to keeping track of these characters here: [[http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pifLK5avd2JHrx6RItqHOcQ Dramatis Personæ]]

** Of a sort - Herley Danika is engaged to Artemus Delphus. Artemus is also engaged to Maya Muldrake. The key part is that he loves the both [[NotReally equally]], so...[[TakeAThirdOption polygamy.]]
** not so much of a love triangle, as a love string. Canid's chased Troy, who was chasing Sinen, who was dating Tabitha,
* LudicrousGibs: The hallways of the big Figure were painted red.
* MacGyvering: Artemus Delphus, when face with a boast about Terrance "Pistol" Hick's mechanical feats, gets into an argument as to who can out Mac Gyver who:
--> '''Pistol:''' Whatever you gotta do mate... you know your stuff but I've fixed/built more than a few things in much worse conditions... you ever repaired a tractor in a hail storm, or fixed your planes feul intake in a jungle?
--> '''Artemus:''' Yeah....I've fixed my sister's Nova with nothin' but a hammer, three bands of rubber, a top hat, some brass, and a bottle of Lengish Red in the middle of Grottopolis all while trying to make a trade to Uurwerk within the next 6 hours....what's your point?
--> '''Pistol:''' That's more like it, but instead of having a my story top yours war I was just pointing out that 'soundproof' might be a bit errr hopefull.... oh and did I ever tell you about the time that I fixed my havoc in flight, between luz and Tehras, with a towers shots resounding around me with only a pair of plyers, my teeth, a piece of leather, and some chewing gum?
--> '''Artemus:''' For shame....What's real skill is trying to fix a scout ballon, midflight between here and Echo because the engine exploded. I had to build a new engine with naught but two friends, the brass horn of a victrolla, and a sophisticated looking picture of Fuseli.
--> '''Pistol:''' Thats lil' stuff, I once used naught more than a coffee cup, a quarter, 2 lemons, and a dartboard fashioned in the shape of volstoy to build a glider that took me clear from midgard to Islo...
** And it went on.
* [[MadScientist Mad Botanist]]: Manik Depra-seeve, who uses his skills to [[MundaneUtility create coffee]].
** Some of the members of the League are almost certainly mad scientists of some flavour. See below.
* MadeOfIron: Blake Spencer has survived... well, a whole lot.
* MadMathematician: Rubrum Veritas when he loses his grip on reality enough; sometimes helpful, sometimes... not so helpful.
* [[{{Pun}} Marital Pacifist]]: Zhana Hirst
* MartialPacifist: Maya
* MenAreTheExpendableGender: Not quite so prevalent as one would think, but there are a few examples.
** The mooks that died on The Big Figure were men
** An NPC that is murdered by the mob for EmotionalTorque is a woman
** A man is murdered for "making a sandwich" and it is simply let go, even though plent of people knew who had done it.
** Male characters that hurt eachother are forgiven. When a female is hurt, cue the RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
** etc.
*** Somewhat justified in that this is set around the 50's.
* MetaGuy: George can fall into this during the lighter roleplays.
* MexicanStandoff: Guns are rarely used to kill, more to point and look threatening, occasionally to wound. Naturally, a lot of these happen.
* MindRape: Xethos to Aeson
* MoodWhiplash: The next thing roleplayed after the pause in the Unobtainium Project's finale was between a one-tusked elephant and comic relief character.

* NeverFoundTheBody: Voyager Islo, Rachel Fuana.
* NoOneShouldSurviveThat: Lets face it, [[spoiler: Morgan]] was pretty lucky.
* NotThatKindOfDoctor: On at least one occasion, Dr. Nikolai Evans.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: On occasion. Often involving Lena Draw lately.
* OhCrap: After Blake [[spoiler: fills the Big Figure with gas in order to blow up the bomb.]]

* OnlyMostlyDead: Rachel Fuana, Morgan Bantex.
* PerfectlyCromulentWord: Fuboom.
* PluckyComicRelief: Mote.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Xethos Borgenwelch believes that Flint and Aeson had intentionally killed his family, and is now trying to kill them. However, the death of his family was due to a misunderstanding, and not intentional... yeah.
* PregnantBadass: Zhana Hirst
* PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery: Blake Spencer.
* RedShirt: Plenty are killed during the Unobtainium Project finale. On both sides.
* RefugeInAudacity: Pirates hiding on the R&P skylet so that [[EnemyCivilWar ''other'']] [[EnemyCivilWar pirates]] won't find them!
* {{Retcon}}: Due to the fact that mistakes are made, some things are taken back with the simple term "Conned". It is moderately stigmatized.
** Unob Project: Morgan lives. Victory of the majority over the player, who did not intend to change the fact that he about his CharacterDeath.
* ''[[RetiredBadass Retired]]'' SkyPirate Captain Isaac [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast "Isengrim"]] Ingram.
* RightManInTheWrongPlace: Hau Long, during the Unobtainium Project.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Villainous example, Xethos Borgenwelch.
** Rubrum gets one against Blake.
** Blake gets one against everybody.
* SanitySlippage: Blake Spencer.
* SavingTheWorld: The previously mentioned "Unobtainium Project."

* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Played with. Tabitha subtlely tries to pry information out of Farth [[spoiler: who she believes bombed a casino.]] while sitting next to her boyfriend.
-->Farth: Mrs. Sharp, I did not have any involvement, is that understood?
-->Tabitha: (After recovering from shock, her boyfriend glaring at Farth) Did you just call me 'Mrs'?
-->Farth:(Indicating between the two.) I did. Aren't you-
-->Tabitha: Not for a looong time.
* ShipTease: Plenty of it, half of it unintentional.
* ShootOutTheLock: A variant on this is used by Hau. [[ItMakesSenseInContext He shoots a control panel to lock himself and three other people in a room together, thereby forcing them to work with him.]]
* ShoutOut: Certain characters are named after other famous figures, most notably, one "Jay Gatzby." One League [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority "officer"]] intentionally shares a first name with a certain [[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick Miss Starshine]].
** Also a common theme of plane naming.
** A combat medic named Jenkins. First name Leroy.
** To say nothing of George, a rabbit. [[spoiler: George Babbitt]]
* TheSixthRanger: Rudolf, joining Dana, Morgan and Rubrum right before the invasion.
* SkyPirate: Lots of them. No, really. They can be both the 'evil villain' and 'dashing rogue' kinds as mentioned on the {{Pirate}} page.
* TheSmartGuy: Among others-
** Rubrum Veritas
** Hau Long
** Morgan Bantex
* SpeechImpediment: S-S-S-S-Seamus M-Mac Leod.
* StatusQuoIsGod: While there are certainly changes made, it's frowned upon to kill off any characters.
** Less frowned upon and more that very few people are actually ''willing'' to off their characters for good. Sometimes they get PutOnABus, but very rarely is anyone KilledOffForReal. If they NeverFoundTheBody, good bets the character may yet return. The number of relatively major characters (i.e. not {{Mauve Shirt}}s) that've actually ''died'' for good could probably be counted on two hands.
* StepfordSmiler: Kaylee Stallengrant.
* SympathyForTheDevil: Maya for Blake
** And lets face it, [[AntiVillain most of us]] [[TearJerker for Blake.]]
* TheTeetotaler: Maya.
* TheseQuestionsThree: On entrance to the Rotor and Prop tavern, new folks are asked three questions before they can order or spend the night.
** "Who are you?"
** "Where did you come from?"
** "Where are you going?"
* ThickerThanWater: Naes is willing to put himself in harms way to save Wai (Who he barely knows), just because his sister (Who also he barely knows) is set on doing so. "Family is Everything".
* TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse: The R&P, where the main roleplay is staged.
* TooDumbToLive: Anybody who shows up and openly proclaims themselves a pirate at the R&P.
* TookALevelInBadass: Dana Carter, during the Unobtainium Project, biting off part of Blake's nose.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Rubrum Veritas and root beer.
** And noodles.
** Lena Draw and [[CantHoldHisLiquor chai.]]
* TwoFistedTales: The lighter, crazier antics of certain adventurer-pilots would surely qualify, Captain Remy especially.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: [[ForegoneConclusion ...]]
* UnsuspectinglySoused: A extended plot involving Lena, Waiwaira and Kaylee began via this trope, with Lena being given a [[GargleBlaster F*** the World.]] This later evolved into a MistakenForCheating situation.
* UnwittingPawn: George Stallengrant, to both Xethos AND Blake at once.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: The Unobtainium Project.

--> '''Blake:''' But... it was perfect... It.... was PERFECT!!
* VillainsNeverLie: Blake Spencer has yet to lie about his project.
* WasItAllALie: Blake to Nesseun.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse?: Since characters are tied to people in real life, and some of them have to leave, understandable.
* WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys: Rudolf could make Q jealous with all of his gadgetry.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Due to StatusQuoIsGod, happens a lot.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Blake Spencer.

* BadassGrandpa: Admiral Fuseli.
* BadassPacifist: Hau fit this up until his brawl with Chakide

* FiveManBand / FiveBadBand: Slivoh's crew, depending on the situation, can be either. Or both.

** Even if they can't support a ''fleet'' of planes, some of the larger airship-type craft might carry at least one 'escape plane' (you don't want to be on an airship when it's going to hit the water) or a recon craft of some kind, much like the seaplanes launched from American and Japanese ships in the Pacific Theater of WorldWarTwo.

* ActionGirl: As common as any other kind of {{Badass}} really.

* BadAss: A dime a dozen. Chances are somebody's done ''something'' badass at some point. Includes all subtypes (longcoats, labcoats, etcetera).
** BadassGrandpa: Admiral Fuseli.
** BadassPacifist: Hau fit this up until his brawl with Chakide
** PregnantBadass: Zhana Hirst
** BadassCrew: Take any of the raiding parties during the Unobtainium Project finale, and you've got one.
** BadassBookworm: Rubrum
** FourStarBadass: Markus Jarnhann.
** In fact, there are so many that it'd be best to sum it up as a WorldOfBadass

* FurryFandom: Toes the line for obvious reasons.

This article concerns itself with the roleplay in ''VideoGame/{{Skyrates}}'', an free to play MMORPG. The roleplay forums are rather dedicated, and many of the things that go on in roleplay end up [[SureWhyNot accepted into canon.]]

* SureWhyNot: Half of the plot is created this way.

* AceCustom: Any pilot worth their salt is probably going to have a tricked-out version of a stock plane, or possibly a completely custom SuperPrototype-esque design. Some of these stray ''really'' far from their base models. Armada Kingfishers have an uncanny habit of turning into (A)C-130s, for example...

** BigBadassWolf: ''[[RetiredBadass Retired]]'' SkyPirate Captain Isaac [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast "Isengrim"]] Ingram.

** In fact, there are so many that it'd be best to just sum it up as a WorldOfBadass

* RedShirt: Plenty, and I mean PLENTY are killed during the Unobtainium Project finale. On both sides.

** Unob Project: Morgan lives. Victory of the majority over the player, who did not intend to change the fact that he was KilledOffForReal.

* MoralEventHorizon: Arguably, Xethos's murder of [[spoiler: Flint.]]
** Also, Blake's murder of dozens of scientists.

** Rachel Fuana's [[HesJustHiding explanation scene]], in which she ended up dying anyhow because of communication errors amongst the players.

* [[FauxSymbolism What Do You Mean It's Not Symbolic?]]: This marvelous quote:
-->Symbolic? You bet your ass.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Blake Spencer.
