History TabletopGame / Chronopia

* OurOrcsAreDifferent: Here they are intelligent Mongol themed warrior culture, they form the backbone of the Blackbloods armies. As well they're quite intelligent and well-versed in the study of astronomy, medicine and alchemy (Orc alchemists serve as the magic users of the Blackbloods).

* AmazonBrigade: The Blade Sisters are a group of all female warriors of the Tribe of Dawn faction of the Sons of Kronus, while the Black Sisters are from that same tribe and serve the Firstborn. The Red Lotus Eaters of House Helios are elven fire mages who are predominantly female.

* OurElvesAreDifferent: Well, yes... except they have all the negative traits of traditional elves cranked UpToEleven, with decadence, bloodlust and greed thrown into the mix.

* DeityOfHumanOrigin: The One King pretty much became one when he reincarnated and created the discipline of time magic. He then searched for the Tablets of Fate to cement that claim.

* OurElvesAreBetter: Well, yes... except they have all the negative traits of traditional elves cranked UpToEleven, with decadence, bloodlust and greed thrown into the mix.

* OurElvesAreBetter: Tall and slender beings who live long by consuming magical lotus. They are also pretty arrogant, and have a history of slavery.

* SlaveRevolt: In the past the Firstborn were enslaved by the Elves, Dwarfs, and Blackbloods when they slew the One King. But when he was born again began freeing all enslaved humans from the other races and rebuild his empire. The Blackbloods themselves had a revolt, their empire was originally run by the Orcs but an Ogre uprising ended the days of the Orc emperors.

* BeastOfBattle: Almost all of the non-human races uses these. The Elves have the reptilian Dragonbane, Swamp Goblins have their mosquito-like Drones and Arachnid cavalry, and so forth etc. Only the Stygians lack these - having no cavalry or mounts, while humans are stuck with horses and in one case - a stag.

* AmazonBrigade: The Blade Sisters are a group of all female warriors of the Tribe of Dawn faction of the Sons of Kronus, while the Blade Sisters are from that same tribe and serve the Firstborn. The Red Lotus Eaters of House Helios are elven fire mages who are predominantly female.

* {{Reincarnation}}: The One King was slain by the elf Duke Chropus during the uprising of the Triad. Centuries later, the One King is reborn amongst the Sons of Kronos

* ElvesVsDwarves: Averted. The Elves think the Dwarves are beneath contempt, which is their opinion of all non-Elves. The Dwarves think the Elves are arrogant supremacist pricks, which is pretty much the non-Elven consensus when it comes to Elves. However, there is no institutionalized animosity (though there may very well be on a personal level) and very few opportunities for Elvish and Dwarvish interests to intersect.

* CityOfAdventure: Chronopia.

* TheAgeless: Elves. Most elves commit suicide sooner or later (if their taste for vice and violence doesn't catch up first)

' TheClan: The elves divide quite naturally along clan lines.

** The Houses of the City Elves are all over this trope. There are ten major houses and as many minor (usually affiliated with one of the Great Houses) as the GM needs there to be.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The Wongosians are small, yellow-skinned blackbloods, who are mostly known as traders and merchants. Wongosian fighters are a joke (the last Wongosian gladiator to try his luck in the arena was eaten by Marigold the troll after two minutes). Then there's Ikki. Ikki is the largest organized crime network in existence, and is more than capable of crossing economic blades with more experienced vice dealers like houses Belisarius and Degas. Ikki hires Trolls and Orcs to do most of their grunt work, but the top enforcers are all Wongosians, all highly trained in unarmed and armed fighting arts, and more than capable of dismantling humans with a touch. There's a reason no-one messes with Ikki.

* FluffyTheTerrible: Troll names tend towards this. Snowdrop is a legendary ravager who once wiped the floor with a squad of the [[CadreOfForeignBodyguards Black Guardsmen]] on his own, Marigold is a gladiator who is most famous for eating his opponents (or, if they're too big to eat in one sitting, biting their heads off), and Raindrop is a key figure in the Crusader movement, as well as one of the few recognized Troll weaponmasters.
* GeniusBruiser: Unlike most portray of Orcs, Trolls, and Ogres who are generally portrayed low intelligent savages, Ogres are at least as smart as humans, and Wild Trolls and Orcs are only slightly dumber than the average human. City trolls are dumb as rocks, but [[AndIMustScream there are reasons.]]

* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Typical bearded warriors who wield axes.

* {{Elfeminate}}: Averted. The Elves of Chronopia are tall and muscular, with the armoured elite wearing armour only a shade less bulky than the human Repulsar Knights. Then there's Jade House's Ascended who are elves changed by the Yellow Lotus into being like [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk miniature Hulks]]

* HeavilyArmoredMook: Many factions have them, with the chunkiest armour on a mook going to the Iron Guard of the Firstborn. They're only a shade less armoured than the [[HeroUnit Repulsar Knight]] who's the most heavily armoured unit in the game.

* ArcherArchetype: Averted. Almost all of the archers/crossbowmen in this setting work as a team or leads one, often wear heavy armour and are pretty good in a melee. Among the elite - the Repulsar Knight Marksman carries a two-handed sword in addition to his bow, while the Warrior of the Sun has a firesword if he's up close. And for regular units, there's the Crossbowmen of the Firstborn who enjoy a brawl and will run enemies throught with their Bladed Heavy Crossbows before chopping at them with shortswords.

* HeavilyArmoredMook: Many factions have them, with the chunkiest armour on a mook going to the Iron Guard of the Firstborn.

* HeavilyArmoredMook: Many factions have them, with the chunkiest armour going to the Repulsar Knights of the Firstborn.

* BizarreSexualDimorphism: The Stygians monstrous Sisters of Tiamat do have males. However males are rare and only ever have 2 heads so they're not so useful in battle as the females who have at least 5. The males instead are kept in the temple pools for breeding purposes.

* TheOgre: They're the rulers of the orcs, trolls, goblins and other ogres that make up the Blackbloods. They achieve this by not only being bigger and stronger than their orc servitors, they're also more intelligent and have created an Arabian-themed empire.

* ArcherArchetype: Averted. Almost all of the archers/crossbowmen in this setting work as a team or leads one, wear plate armour and are often pretty good in a melee. Among the elite - the Repulsar Knight Marksman carries a two-handed sword in addition to his bow, while the Warrior of the Sun has a firesword if he's up close. And for regular units, there's the Crossbowmen of the Firstborn who enjoy a brawl and will run enemies throught with their Bladed Heavy Crossbows before chopping at them with shortswords.

* OurOrcsAreDifferent: Here they are intelligent Mongol themed warrior culture, they form the backbone of the Blackbloods armies. As well they're quite intelligent and developed the study of astronomy and alchemy (Orc alchemists serve as the magic users of the Blackbloods).

* RenegadeSplinterFaction: The Vulture Clan were the ones to turn to the Devout during the clan wars and it was they who unleashed the black magic that transformed the gods. Meanwhile the Sons of Kronos have the Nuada who have turned to the Devout and for the Elves, the Obsidian Serpent is moving in that direction.

* SlaveRevolt: In the past the Firstborn were enslaved by the Elves, Dwarfs, and Blackbloods when they slew the One King. But when he was born again began freeing all enslaved humans from the other races and rebuild his empire.

* LivingWeapon: The Stygian make extensive use of these, including the worm-like Tenebrous Crawler (the unit with the highest strength in the game). The Dwarves also use their Blood Totem gods in this fashion.

* KillItWithFire: The Dwarven Fire Thrower teams are a 2-man unit that operate a flamethrower. Given that the majority of enemies are melee troops, this weapon averts VideoGameFlamethrowersSuck

* PraetorianGuard: The Ogre Emperors have their Deathseekers. These are a cadre of elite Troll swordsmasters.

* LivingWeapon: The Stygian make extensive use of these, including the worm-like Tenebrous Crawler (the unit with the highest strength in the game). The Dwarves also use their Bloodtotem gods in this fashion.

* BeastOfBattle: Almost all of the non-human races uses these. The Elves have the reptilian Dragonbane, Swamp Goblins have their mosquito-like Drones and Arachnid cavalry, and so forth etc. Only the Stygians lack these - having no cavalry or mounts while humans are stuck with horses and occasional stag.
