History Trivia / TheSkyTides

* FanNickname: Too many to list, but...
** '''Ships''': Ammy (''Amestris''), [=AmTetris=] (same), Firetruck (''Fiertia''), Silvy (''Silvana''), Vicky (''Victoria II''). A number of names were suggested for ''Serenity'', but none of them stuck.
** '''Player Characters''': Moose ([[VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou Beat]]), Rou ([[Manga/{{Gintama}} Hijikata Toshirou]]), Tsunicorn ([[VideoGame/{{Lunar}} Leo]]), [=vK=] ([[Franchise/AceAttorney Manfred von Karma]]), von Karmasaurus Perfex (same), Watanoodle ([[Manga/XxxHOLiC Watanuki Kimihiro]]), Zou ([[Manga/PeacemakerKurogane Hijikata Toshizou]])
** '''[=NPCs=]''': There's a whole series of {{mook}}s who have received names. It started with Guard-kun and moved to his compatriots: Mage-kun, Servant-kun...
** '''Pairings''' (game-canon and not): Lungshipping (Toshizou/Souji), [[{{Expy}} Proxyshipping]] (Neku/Roxas), [[HeterosexualLifePartners Team Yuribait]] (Nena/Sara), Bentoshipping (Watanuki/Ichigo)
** '''Places''': Crapmork (Kropmork), Kinkston (one-off town Jinkston), [[Franchise/SilentHill Silent Antrim]] (Antrim, naturally, though it's also the official name for the plot that took ''place'' in Antrim)

Before we get anything else out of the way, I know what you're probably here for. Final PC body count:
* [[spoiler:Maes Hughes]]: Killed by Diego's RazorFloss, which was then used to string him from the mast of the ''Way''. This death was later retconned, but its status (as the DeadSerious marker, being the first PC death), the effects it had already had on the plot, and the fact that he didn't do much after being re-apped by a different mun until he was dropped again make the retcon dubiously canonical.
* [[spoiler:Kristoph Gavin]]: Sentenced to death for something he actually didn't do, taking the fall for [=vK=]. His fate was left ambiguous [[RealLifeWritesThePlot in case somebody else apped him]], but was finally confirmed by WordOfGod after the game was over.
* [[spoiler:Low Key Lyesmith/Loki]]: In a last-ditch effort to win, he was confronted by Sam and defeated with his DangerousForbiddenTechnique. Dubious WordOfGod says that he was or will be reincarnated into another canon's interpretation of the PublicDomainCharacter.
* [[spoiler:Sam Linnfer/Lucifer]]: Not dead, but [[spoiler:lost his mind as a result of a DangerousForbiddenTechnique, making the Sam we know and love only one easily-silenced voice among many]]. WordOfGod is that he'll never recover.
* [[spoiler:Optimus Prime]]: Defeated [[YouShallNotPass holding off]] King Bradley, left for dead. Died onscreen (as it were) when members of his crew came back to get him.
* [[spoiler:King Bradley]]: Fought to the death with Hollow Ichigo.
* [[spoiler:Dinobot]]: Fought to the death with Hollow Ichigo.
* [[spoiler:Kiryuu Kaoru]]: Defeated and left for dead by [[LawyerFriendlyCameo Void]]. Later recovered, only to die in an infirmary bed in the PlayableEpilogue. Because of copious unintended foreshadowing before she died, she now haunts ''Serenity''.

Now on to the rest of the trivia.

* ActorAllusion: Lots of jokes about this will sneak in. For example, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Nena Trinity]] using the alias Creator/RieKugimiya and [[Anime/StrainStrategicArmoredInfantry Sara Werec]] using the alias Creator/AyakoKawasumi, [[Manga/{{Gintama}} Hijikata Toshirou]] and [[VideoGame/SengokuBasara Date Masamune]] [[Creator/KazuyaNakai having a rivalry]], [[VideoGame/{{Lunar}} Leo]] [[Series/IronChef assisting with cooking contests]]...
** [[spoiler:[[Manga/{{Gintama}} Hijikata Toshirou]] also loses an eye at the end of the game, now joining the ranks of the other [[VideoGame/SengokuBasara one-eyed]] [[Manga/OnePiece swordsmen]].]]
** In the same vein, ''mun'' allusions. Joshua once mentions "ninja octopi" in jest, referencing Ten's AIM username; at the time, the game's AIM chat was still very much active.

* [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes Keep Circulating The Passwords To Retired RP Journals From People Who Dropped And Locked All Their Entries]]: Don't some of us wish we could...

* DuelingGames: ''Marshmallow Mateys'' was, early on, compared to ''TST'' because ''they'' had player-run ships instead of mod-run... even though the games were nothing alike (one was a plot-heavy steampunk adventure AU and one was a jamjar based on ''OnePiece''). After ''TST'' proved that mod-run ships were much better for what it was trying to do (and the other game died a slow death), this diminished.
