Originally called ''[=TVTome=] Adventures'' (full-name rarely used), TTA is a flash series created by Chris "Kirbopher" Niosi, using as inspiration a [[SelfInsertFic Self Insertion]] RP which took place on the [=TVTome=].com forums (now TV.com).
The plot centers around a group of players in an [[TwentyMinutesInTheFuture future]] MMORPG named "TOME" [[hottip: *:no, not ''[[RogueLike that]]'' [[RogueLike TOME]]]] and their fight against the D-Bug organisation, a group of hackers seeking a mysterious "Forbidden Power"..
TTA started [[HumbleBeginnings as a humble and amateur sprite-animation]] series, which during it's [[LongRunner long run]] naturally kept [[GrowingTheBeard on getting better]]. As a matter of facts, TTA is notable for its great length (a total of 73 episodes over 3 seasons and a three-part movie), specially for it's media.
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Tome_remake_4705.png
[[caption-width:350:The remake]]
After it's somehow [[HumbleBeginnings sloppy]] early stages, the series used an unique combination of sprites and hand-drawn graphic, while the voice acting was mostly done by the writers of the original RP ([[SelfInsertFic each one voicing his/her character]]).
The author has openly admitted the heavy influence of both [[DotHack .hack]] and [[MegamanBattleNetwork Megaman.EXE]]. [[ShoutOut References]] to {{Anime}} are also frequent--''DragonballZ'' being the most common (for example, the character of Zetto, fact which is frequently [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by other characters).
After Niosi entered college, [[AuthorExistenceFailure he had less time for the series]] (at first, the fourth 27-episode season was shortened to a handful of [=OVAs=], then scrapped altogether). He continued it with smaller projects, such as the three-part ''Super Freakin' Parody Rangers'', which features {{Expy}}s of the characters Zetto and Ruri.
However, on [[ArcNumber 11/11/11]], a fully animated ContinuityReboot of TTA re-titled '''''[[FunWithAcronyms T]]'''[[FunWithAcronyms errain]] '''[[FunWithAcronyms O]]'''[[FunWithAcronyms f]] '''[[FunWithAcronyms M]]'''[[FunWithAcronyms agical]] '''[[FunWithAcronyms E]]'''[[FunWithAcronyms xpertise]]'' was released, this time with a huge cast of stars (including LittleKuriboh among it's voice actors) and heavily promoted by Newgrounds.
The remake feature an unique style in which the animation is set to resemble video games like MegamanBattleNetwork or TheWorldEndsWithYou, and it looks just that cool. So far three episodes has been released.
TTA and TOME can be seen at [[http://kirbopher.newgrounds.com/ Newgrounds.com]].

** Appears to have been removed from the remake, to the point where BunnyEarsLawyer "Nailock Kotetsu Ryu" (who spoke almost exclusively in GratuitousJapanese) has become "Nylocke, Dragon of the Cold Steel" (who speaks in YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe).
* AuthorStandIn: Almost all of the characters are based on "authors"--the creator of the series actually has two avatars, kirbopher15 and Zetto.
* AwakeningTheSleepingGiant: The D-Bug Dragon at the end of Season 2, although the good and bad guys don't so much join forces to stop it as they do just happen to both be trying to kill it for different reasons.

* BraggingThemeTune: One between Alpha and Kirbopher in TOME's "Battle On!"

* EnergyAbsorption: The items created by Rob* and [[spoiler:Zetto's arm]].
* EvilPlan Several:
** [[spoiler: When first facing Kirbopher15 in his [[SuperPoweredEvilSide transformed state]], EXE knew he had the D-Bug virus within him, and planned to make it his own. He convinced the Webmaster to make an '1111' item so Kirb could trigger the state, and would only do so if confronting his accomplice Zetto, by letting the heroes go covert at the D-Bug Org. II base while keeping the other Netkings ignorant. Absorbing too much viruses while transformed, Kirb unleashes the D-bug, that seeks to fight the strongest fighter in TOME, and eventually makes its way to EXE's room, which had a stash of 10 virus fragments, and manages to control the dragon by fusing it to the Super Computer.]]
* EvilTwin: The "Shadow Users" are (mostly) nonsentient copies of every user of the system.
* {{Expy}}: Zetto is one of [[DragonballZ Vegeta.]]He even has his hairstyle!
* TheFaceless: Voltarius in late season 2 (The Voice beforehand), and an unnamed season 3 villain...though [[spoiler: Anidoug]] was the villain of Season 3.
* FacialMarkings: Alpha, various other characters
* FanBoy: Zetto is a ''DragonballZ'' fanboy, and has an avatar and personality resembling Vegeta. This tends to annoy the other characters, even though plenty of them seem to like the show as well.
* FillerVillain: The Flux Gang in the movie. [[spoiler: Not quite. Flux himself was to make a reappearance in season 4 in a similar body to that of Neomutant's.]]

* HeyItsThatVoice: Niosi voiced Khoury in the {{Anime/Pokemon}} anime. The remake introduces a number of well-known actors, including LittleKuriboh.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: Voltarius, Phaxal
* HumbleBeginnings: Compare the first episode of TTA with the Newgrounds-sponsored first episode of TOME.
* AnIcePerson: There are really too many ice elementals. [[AuthorAppeal Niosi likes ice]].
** Specifically, a lot of the the {{Player Character}}s in the RP that TTA was based on had ice-related abilities. "Shoot an icicle" seems to be a common low-level attack which a lot of characters use though, even if they are not ice-based.
* ImprobableAge: One of the game's programmers was a teenager.
* TheInfiltration
* ItsPersonal: Both viruses.
* JackOfAllStats: Alpha is of a Neutral class, and has a variety mix of elemental attacks and non-elemental skills.
* KnightOfCerebus: Zetto

* LargeHam: NAILOCKE/NYLOCKE! Dragon of loud exclamations!
* LimitBreak
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Just look on Niosi's DeviantArt account, and just see how many characters alone are in the series.
* LongRunner: By the standards of the medium.
* LovableCoward: Asterob (Rob*) in the remake.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Had season 4 come to full fruition, it would've been revealed to be [[spoiler: Darkeyesofanubis, who was responsible for the creation of the Kagemamoru Virus, the D-Bug Virus, and generally has masterminded the events of the series as a whole.]]
** Also the climax of season 2: [[spoiler: While Zetto was indeed Voltarius, the boss-man of the group, EXE was the one really in charge of the D. Bug (original and II) Organization.]]
* MinorInjuryOverreaction
* MissingEpisode: Newgrounds viewers would never see TheMovie (leading to confusion when the season 3 finale references it) or the Anime Openings.
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Giga
* {{MMORPG}}: TOME
* {{Noob}}: (Quite a bit of characters, but the most blatant ones are Raccoon and Sojojo. Their voices are even modeled after DBZ [[TheDragon Dragon]] Villains Cell Junior and Kid Buu to drive home how childish they are.
* NostalgiaLevel: The ''DonkeyKong'' minigame in one episode, created by a character who is a {{Mario}} [[AscendedFanboy fanboy]].
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: Zetto. Twice. Then there's Ravenfreak, Racoon, Sojojo and Simdragon. All have been subject to the Virus Frags at one point or another, and each has taken on a different form when they utilized one.]]
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: (Zetto) and [[spoiler: Tormentros/Kalasu Angel]]
* {{Pastiche}}: The series is a pastiche of .hack and Megaman.EXE.
* PluckyComicRelief: Gamecrasher
* PowersAsPrograms: Literally--Alpha even receives an antivirus which manifests as a "[[WaveMotionGun Vaccine Cannon]]" attack.
* PromotedFanboy: There was a call for "extras" at one point. Most of the Netkings also seem to be {{Fanboy}}s or {{Fangirl}}s.
* PsychoSerum: [[spoiler:The virus frags, which grant users with great power, at the likely cost of their sanity, though.]]

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: rac000n/Rockoon and Bling Bling/Doubling.

Originally called ''[=TVTome=] Adventures'' (full-name rarely used), TTA is a flash series created by Chris "Kirbopher" Niosi, using as inspiration a [[SelfInsertFic Self Insertion]] RP which took place on the [=TVTome=].com forums (now TV.com).
The plot centers around a group of players in an [[TwentyMinutesInTheFuture future]] MMORPG named "TOME" [[hottip: *:no, not ''[[RogueLike that]]'' [[RogueLike TOME]]]] and their fight against the D-Bug organisation, a group of hackers seeking a mysterious "Forbidden Power"..
TTA started [[HumbleBeginnings as a humble and amateur sprite-animation]] series, which during it's [[LongRunner long run]] naturally kept [[GrowingTheBeard on getting better]]. As a matter of facts, TTA is notable for its great length (a total of 73 episodes over 3 seasons and a three-part movie), specially for it's media.

[[caption-width:350:The remake]]
After it's somehow [[HumbleBeginnings sloppy]] early stages, the series used an unique combination of sprites and hand-drawn graphic, while the voice acting was mostly done by the writers of the original RP ([[SelfInsertFic each one voicing his/her character]]).
The author has openly admitted the heavy influence of both [[DotHack .hack]] and [[MegamanBattleNetwork Megaman.EXE]]. [[ShoutOut References]] to {{Anime}} are also frequent--''DragonballZ'' being the most common (for example, the character of Zetto, fact which is frequently [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by other characters).
After Niosi entered college, [[AuthorExistenceFailure he had less time for the series]] (at first, the fourth 27-episode season was shortened to a handful of [=OVAs=], then scrapped altogether). He continued it with smaller projects, such as the three-part ''Super Freakin' Parody Rangers'', which features {{Expy}}s of the characters Zetto and Ruri.
However, on [[ArcNumber 11/11/11]], a fully animated ContinuityReboot of TTA re-titled '''''[[FunWithAcronyms T]]'''[[FunWithAcronyms errain]] '''[[FunWithAcronyms O]]'''[[FunWithAcronyms f]] '''[[FunWithAcronyms M]]'''[[FunWithAcronyms agical]] '''[[FunWithAcronyms E]]'''[[FunWithAcronyms xpertise]]'' was released, this time with a huge cast of stars (including LittleKuriboh among it's voice actors) and heavily promoted by Newgrounds.
The remake feature an unique style in which the animation is set to resemble video games like MegamanBattleNetwork or TheWorldEndsWithYou, and it looks just that cool. So far three episodes has been released.
TTA and TOME can be seen at [[http://kirbopher.newgrounds.com/ Newgrounds.com]].

This show provides examples of:
* ActorAllusion
* AllYourPowersCombined: Phaxal
* AnotherDimension: The Netking's [[spoiler:server]] world, as well as the dimension containing [[spoiler:Motherboard]].
* ArcNumber: 1111
* ArtificialLimbs: Zetto, doubles as a GrapplingHookPistol and a GatlingGood ArmCannon.
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign / GratuitousJapanese: Kalasu Angel does ''not'' mean "angel of death"; many characters use Japanese phrases like ''"Yoshi!"'' (Okay!) and ''"Shine!"'' (Die!); and don't get me started on "Kageryuken".
** Appears to have been removed from the remake, to the point where BunnyEarsLawyer "Nailock Kotetsu Ryu" (who spoke almost exclusively in GratuitousJapanese) has become "Nylocke, Dragon of the Cold Steel" (who speaks in YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe).
* AuthorStandIn: Almost all of the characters are based on "authors"--the creator of the series actually has two avatars, kirbopher15 and Zetto.
* AwakeningTheSleepingGiant: The D-Bug Dragon at the end of Season 2, although the good and bad guys don't so much join forces to stop it as they do just happen to both be trying to kill it for different reasons.
* BloodKnight: Many of the characters, but mostly Zetto.
* BraggingThemeTune: One between Alpha and Kirbopher in TOME's "Battle On!"
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Nailock/Nylocke. One of the more powerful and skilled fighters in the game, but also a LargeHam who sprinkles his speech with GratuitousJapanese (in the original) or YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe (in the remake) and shouts "WHOOSH!" when he runs.
* ButtMonkey: Gamecrasher, Nailock and (occasionally) Kirb himself.
* CapturedSuperEntity
* ChargedAttack: Rob*'s Asterisk Shield. [[EnergyAbsorption Hit it enough times]] and then... [[WaveMotionGun "RELEASE!!!"]]
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Darkeyesofanubis, the villain of Season 4]] makes a cameo appearance in Season 3, though Season 4's cancellation negates the effects of this.
* ClusterBleepBomb: Bling Bling's character in the remake, Doubling, does this. His sister, Splat, prefers the Precision F Strike version.
* CombinedEnergyAttack
* ContinuityReboot: TOME, which starts the story over from the beginning.
* CoveredInGunge: Splat and Bling Bling's (Doubling in the ContinuityReboot) attacks are slime based.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Nailock. He's off-the-wall, zany and doesn't seem all there at times, but he also defeated one of the main villains in record time, defeated the strongest of a group of the strongest players in the game, and is one of the only people to defeat Zetto.
* DeadpanSnarker: Gamecrazed
* DeadlyUpgrade
* DealWithTheDevil
* TheDitz: Nailock Kotetsu Ryu
* DungeonBypass: The Motherboard404 arc.
* EarlyBirdCameo: T-Bones, Grounder and Thunder256 make cameos in the first episode of TOME, despite not appearing in TTA until Season 2.
* EnergyAbsorption: The items created by Rob* and [[spoiler:Zetto's arm]].
* EvilPlan Several:
** [[spoiler: When first facing Kirbopher15 in his [[SuperPoweredEvilSide transformed state]], EXE knew he had the D-Bug virus within him, and planned to make it his own. He convinced the Webmaster to make an '1111' item so Kirb could trigger the state, and would only do so if confronting his accomplice Zetto, by letting the heroes go covert at the D-Bug Org. II base while keeping the other Netkings ignorant. Absorbing too much viruses while transformed, Kirb unleashes the D-bug, that seeks to fight the strongest fighter in TOME, and eventually makes its way to EXE's room, which had a stash of 10 virus fragments, and manages to control the dragon by fusing it to the Super Computer.]]
* EvilTwin: The "Shadow Users" are (mostly) nonsentient copies of every user of the system.
* {{Expy}}: Zetto is one of [[DragonballZ Vegeta.]]He even has his hairstyle!
* TheFaceless: Voltarius in late season 2 (The Voice beforehand), and an unnamed season 3 villain...though [[spoiler: Anidoug]] was the villain of Season 3.
* FacialMarkings: Alpha, various other characters
* FanBoy: Zetto is a ''DragonballZ'' fanboy, and has an avatar and personality resembling Vegeta. This tends to annoy the other characters, even though plenty of them seem to like the show as well.
* FillerVillain: The Flux Gang in the movie. [[spoiler: Not quite. Flux himself was to make a reappearance in season 4 in a similar body to that of Neomutant's.]]
* FireIceLightning: Stated by the man who created the battle system to be "the game's top three elements".
* FiveManBand:
** TheHero: Alpha
** TheLancer: Kirbopher15
** TheSmartGuy: [=GameCrazed=]
** TheBigGuy: Nailock
** TheChick: Flamegirl, though she crescendos into being an ActionGirl post season 1.
** TagalongKid: Gamecrasher
* {{Foreshadowing}}: TOME displays the "Forbidden Power"'s ability to [[spoiler:physically harm players]] from episode 1.
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:(Alpha+Zetto = Alphazet (Composite), Alpha+Kagemamoru = Virus-fused Alpha (Power Booster))]]
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Voltarius, [[spoiler: who is really Zetto.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Season 4 was to have one of the Anubis Guild's members, Fauna, pull a HeelFaceTurn and sacrifice herself by overclocking her powers to destroy the barrier surrounding the stronghold so that the final assault could begin.]]
* HeyItsThatVoice: Niosi voiced Khoury in the {{Anime/Pokemon}} anime. The remake introduces a number of well-known actors, including LittleKuriboh.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: Voltarius, Phaxal
* HumbleBeginnings: Compare the first episode of TTA with the Newgrounds-sponsored first episode of TOME.
* AnIcePerson: There are really too many ice elementals. [[AuthorAppeal Niosi likes ice]].
** Specifically, a lot of the the {{Player Character}}s in the RP that TTA was based on had ice-related abilities. "Shoot an icicle" seems to be a common low-level attack which a lot of characters use though, even if they are not ice-based.
* ImprobableAge: One of the game's programmers was a teenager.
* TheInfiltration
* ItsPersonal: Both viruses.
* JackOfAllStats: Alpha is of a Neutral class, and has a variety mix of elemental attacks and non-elemental skills.
* KnightOfCerebus: Zetto
* KudzuPlot: A number of dangling questions were left after season 3. Some of the answers can be found by trawling Kirbopher's DeviantArt account.
* LargeHam: NAILOCKE/NYLOCKE! Dragon of loud exclamations!
* LimitBreak
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Just look on Niosi's DeviantArt account, and just see how many characters alone are in the series.
* LongRunner: By the standards of the medium.
* LovableCoward: Asterob (Rob*) in the remake.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Had season 4 come to full fruition, it would've been revealed to be [[spoiler: Darkeyesofanubis, who was responsible for the creation of the Kagemamoru Virus, the D-Bug Virus, and generally has masterminded the events of the series as a whole.]]
** Also the climax of season 2: [[spoiler: While Zetto was indeed Voltarius, the boss-man of the group, EXE was the one really in charge of the D. Bug (original and II) Organization.]]
* MinorInjuryOverreaction
* MissingEpisode: Newgrounds viewers would never see TheMovie (leading to confusion when the season 3 finale references it) or the Anime Openings.
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Giga
* {{MMORPG}}: TOME
* {{Noob}}: (Quite a bit of characters, but the most blatant ones are Raccoon and Sojojo. Their voices are even modeled after DBZ [[TheDragon Dragon]] Villains Cell Junior and Kid Buu to drive home how childish they are.
* NostalgiaLevel: The ''DonkeyKong'' minigame in one episode, created by a character who is a {{Mario}} [[AscendedFanboy fanboy]].
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: Zetto. Twice. Then there's Ravenfreak, Racoon, Sojojo and Simdragon. All have been subject to the Virus Frags at one point or another, and each has taken on a different form when they utilized one.]]
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: (Zetto) and [[spoiler: Tormentros/Kalasu Angel]]
* {{Pastiche}}: The series is a pastiche of .hack and Megaman.EXE.
* PluckyComicRelief: Gamecrasher
* PowersAsPrograms: Literally--Alpha even receives an antivirus which manifests as a "[[WaveMotionGun Vaccine Cannon]]" attack.
* PromotedFanboy: There was a call for "extras" at one point. Most of the Netkings also seem to be {{Fanboy}}s or {{Fangirl}}s.
* PsychoSerum: [[spoiler:The virus frags, which grant users with great power, at the likely cost of their sanity, though.]]
* RetiredBadass: [=PaperAceChase=] and the other members of the "Ranks of Sanctuary"

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Alpha and Kirbopher.
* SwordBeam: Kirbopher can fire [[AnIcePerson icicles]], [[BlowYouAway tornadoes]] and [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] from his sword.
