History Roleplay / StarArmy

* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: Nekovalkrya officers occasionally receive the rare and coveted NH-27 body type, which features weaponized blood, super strength, incredible regenerative abilities and improved flight. NMX Warlords have powerful telepathic abilities and custom bodies.

* FeelNoPain: Higher-class Neko types can turn their ability to feel pain off in combat. NMX zombies play this straighter since the bodies are usually too atrophied to feel pain by the time they enter combat.

* MacrossMissileMassacre
** [[AuthorAvatar Ketsurui Hanako]] has sky blue hair that is greenish at the roots and violet at the tips.

* ChildSoldiers: Via CloningBlues. Nekovalkryja are required to spend their first eight years of life as soldiers before being given the option of civilian life.

* JoinTheArmyTheySaid: An amusing background for many Nepleslians who tried to escape the crime and grime of the Nepleslian capital, only to be sent to ANOTHER crapsack that doesn't have the modern niceties of urban life.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Characters are promoted more easily for good performance. Combat character have the easiest time with this.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Nekovalkrya officers occasionally receive the rare and coveted NH-27 body type, which features weaponized blood, super strength, incredible regenerative abilities and improved flight. NMX Warlords have powerful telepathic abilities and custom bodies.

* In addition, there is an unambiguously villainous superpower known as the NMX or ''[[NoPronunciationGuide Neo Mishhuvurthyar Xhrafuklurp]]'', a race of tentacled {{Eldritch Abomination}}s that [[HordeOfAlienLocusts enslave, consume or destroy]] all in their wake. [[MindScrew Known to warp the perceptions of their slaves]] and induce perverse and unimaginable pleasures and [[NightmareFuel agonies]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and making grits a part of their standard rations for conscripts]]. Conscript forces tend to have elements of the [[DeepSouth US Civil War-era Confederacy]] in dress and decorum. [[spoiler:It was eventually revealed that they were a failed Nekovalkryja type that had been [[BodyHorror warped and twisted]] by [[TheCorruption Old Ones]]]].

* ''The Freespacers'', a race of [[UsefulNotes/IrishTravellers nomadic]] [[TechnicalPacifist pacifistic]] [[HollywoodCyborg transhumans]] who coexist with AI and other synthetic lifeforms in a single large commune connected by a sprawling [[{{Cyberspace}} interstellar communications network]]. Possess [[MayflyDecemberRomance short lifespans]] as a consequence of genetic adaptations to the background radiation of their [[UsedFuture haphazardly constructed vessels]], and have a preference for [[KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter railguns]] and [[ILoveNuclearPower nuclear]] [[NukeEm weapons]]. Known to field [[CrazyIsCool implausible or insane]] designs that cause [[YourheadAsplode headaches]] or [[JawDrop dropped jaws]] to staff and players alike.

* AMillionIsAStatistic: Nekovalkryja who used to die by the trillions don't get much sympathy. Two thousand UOC colonists died in an attack by an unknown alien race and their Senator turned the angst UpToEleven.

** The Lorath [[UpToEleven up the ante]] with a fully automatic man-portable gatling shotgun.

** Cranked UpToEleven by higher level Neko bodies such as the NH-27, which can reattach a nearly severed head and seal wounds that have allowed their organs to spill out.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Many many examples. Justified by ArtificialHuman races such as Yamataians, and the CyberPunk aesthetic of Nepleslia. Played straight by many others.

* ''[[TheEmpire The Abwehran Star Empire]]'', the national government of the [[MultiArmedAndDangerous four-armed]] [[{{Heavyworlder}} Abwehrans]]. Possess a strong naval tradition would do ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' proud, complete with [[TheAestheticsOfTechnology boxy starships]] and relatively mundane science fiction weaponry. Influences heavily by the aforementioned Honorverse, as well as healthy dose of [[DarkerAndEdgier Grimdark]]. Considered one of the [[MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness 'harder']] parts of the setting.

* ''The Freespacers'', a race of [[UsefulNotes/IrishTravellers nomadic]] [[TechnicalPacifist pacifistic]] [[HollywoodCyborg transhumans]] who coexist with AI and other synthetic lifeforms in a single large commune connected by a sprawling [[{{Cyberspace}} interstellar communications network]]. Possess [[MayflyDecemberRomance short lifespans]] as a consequence of genetic adaptations to the background radiation of their [[UsedFuture haphazardly constructed vessels]], and have a preference for [[KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter railguns]] and [[ILoveNuclearPower nuclear]] [[NukeEm weapons]]. Known to field [[CrazyAwesome implausible or insane]] designs that cause [[YourheadAsplode headaches]] or [[JawDrop dropped jaws]] to staff and players alike.

* EnergyWeapon: From energy pistols to large {{WaveMotionGun}}s. Includes lasers, phased array lasers, particle cannons, transphased particle cannons, aether cannons and [[NoKillLikeOverkill aether shock cannons]].

* FrickinLaserBeams: Standard issue for Iromakuanhe infantry. Vehicle-mounted point defense weapons for most factions.

* GatlingGood: Gatling [[KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter railguns]], Gatling [[FrickinLaserBeams lasers]] and even Gatling [[KillItWithFire plasma cannons]].

* BadassGrandpa: Robert Davis, Sky Marshall of the [[OverlyLongName SMoDIoN]]. [[BadassBeard Thick, luxurious beard]]. [[CulturedBadass Well spoken]], with a [[DeepSouth slight drawl]]. [[http://stararmy.com/wiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?cache=&media=character:davisphotobucket.png Look at that goddamn pimp cane]].

Taking inspiration from classic SpaceOpera series and [[HumongousMecha Mecha Anime]], StarArmy is set in the Kikyo Sector, a small cluster of stars in an unknown galaxy inhabited by various human, transhuman and alien species. Originally a background site for the multiverse-roaming [[TheEmpire Yamatai Star Empire]], the setting went on to become its own setting with dozens of players and over 6,000 of pages of user-created content.

* ForScience: Most major arms producers are half this and half [[AbusingTheKardashevScaleForFunAndProfit just trying to break the laws of science]] [[LensmanArmsRace for increasingly effective military applications]].

* ExtremeOmnivore: Iromakuanhe VANDR units feature a biomass reclamation unit that process nearly any kind of organic matter. [[SoylentGreen Just don't think]] [[ImAHumanitarian about it too much.]]

** Played with in Nepleslia. [[GoodScarsEvilScars Disfiguring scars]] and broken features generally imply that you were extremely {{Badass}}, [[IJustWantToBeBadass or not badass enough]].
