3->''"... This is going to be a much weirder semester than anticipated, Tails."''
4-->--'''Sally Acorn''', summing up the RP in a nutshell.
5
6''Campus Life'' is a [[PlayByPostGames text-based]] RP in the [[https://www.fanfiction.net/forum/Cross-Over-of-Oddities/154618/ Cross-Over of Oddities]] forum of Website/FanfictionDotNet, featuring characters from [[MassivelyMultiplayerCrossover many different medias]] as well as several [[OriginalCharacter original character]]'s living on a Campus while going to college. Needless to say, [[HilarityEnsues many wacky college shenanigans ensue.]]
7
8The primary arc features [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Miles 'Tails' Prower]], who was [[FountainOfYouth transformed into an infant]] [[GoneHorriblyWrong by a failed invention]]. A spacefairing group took an interest in Tails' condition, and were eventually able to reverse it. Afterwards, he quickly gets wrapped up in the menaces faced by the group, including a connection to his own past...
9
10This massive RP has been going on since way back in [[TurnOfTheMillennium '07]], managing to survive ''five'' forum transitions and still keep a regular user base throughout. While most of the early-to-mid arcs of the RP [[MissingEpisode have been deleted due to the original forums it was on going belly up]][[note]]mostly the original 'Baby Tails' arc which kicked things off and several random arcs that never got proper resolution[[/note]], an archive from the few forums still left up (though inactive) can be found [[http://www.fanfiction.net/topic/63639/17524538/1/Campus-Life-RP here]] and [[https://www.fanfiction.net/topic/110510/93295744/1/Campus-Life-RP here]].
11
12On August 15, 2015, Campus Life officially died due to real life obligations and loss of interest from several key players writing the A-Plot. There has been an attempt at a ContinuityReboot [[https://www.fanfiction.net/topic/154618/157034851/1/ revival of the RP]] on November 5th, 2016, with King Dedede as the head dean but, as of right now, it's more or less dead.
13----
14!!''Campus Life'' provides examples of:
15[[foldercontrol]]
16[[folder:Tropes that apply to both [=RPs=]]]
17* AcademyOfAdventure: When they're actually on Campus, anyways. Even then, half the students and teachers at the school have super powers, they teach classes like magic and ''Interdimensional Studies'', and {{Physical God}}s seem naturally attracted to the place. It also doesn't help [[WeirdnessMagnet weird stuff just seems to like the place as well.]]
18* AlternateSelf: A few times, there have been two different continuity versions of the ''same'' character running around Campus, controlled by two different [=RPer=]s, such as [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Link]] and [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Toon Link]]. The original Campus Life RP {{Handwave}}d it by virtue of taking place in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' universe. In the new RP, it's usually the result of some shenanigans/demonstrations/mishaps on the Interdimensional Studies class.
19* AlternateUniverse: Comes with the territory. The very premise has a bunch of universe taking place in the same universe, with multiple characters from multiple franchises going to a Campus.
20* AutobotsRockOut: It's pretty common for [=RPers=] to post music alongside certain events in the RP, be it battle themes, a character's theme song, or the like.
21* CanonWelding: A given, considering it's a MassivelyMultiplayerCrossOver. There are even several fan-created elements that have been adapted into the RP.
22* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Thanks to users leaving over time, this was inevitable. Many once important characters have disappeared without notice or say, either because of the [=RPer=] losing interest in playing them, or because they lose interest in the RP in general.
23* CityOfAdventure: Much like the Campus, the city around it also tends to be a strong WeirdnessMagnet.
24* DeusExMachina: Thanks to the nature of [=RPs=], characters suddenly dropping in without explanation to help out at pivotal moments are very common.
25* GenreShift: It should be noted, "wacky college shenanigans" is generally treated as a guideline more than a rule. In the original alone, it went from a comedy to a dramedy to a SpaceOpera to a FightingSeries to a psychological study.
26* InterspeciesRomance: Love knows no species in these [=RPs=]. There were more InterspeciesRomance than there were couples of the same species in the original RP.
27* MassivelyMultiplayerCrossOver: The number of franchises characters come from in Campus Life is insane.
28* MacGuffin: The [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Chaos Emeralds]] are very important in many arcs in both [=RPs=], often being the go-to example of this trope whenever the characters need a substantial power boost when fighting the BigBad. Needless to say, this gets [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded a lot by the characters of the RP]].
29-->''Why is it every psychopath wants to get their hands on these rocks? Haven't they ever heard of the freaking Franchise/{{Dragon Ball}}s before?''
30* NiceJobBreakingItHero: More often than not, this trope is usually what ends up kicking off several plots in both [=RPs=]. Rainbow Dash ended up causing the Dark Sonic plot thanks to accidentally turning Sonic into Dark Sonic to begin with, and Lilac ended up bringing the Ultra Beast to the campus universe with her while fooling around in the void between worlds.
31* PhysicalGod: Several have popped in the original RP. Complaints about them being overpowered is the main reason "planet busters" such as Goku, Giygas, and other PhysicalGod level characters have been banned from the reboot RP. If they do show up, they're resigned to being the FinalBoss of the given arc.
32* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: There have been several instances over both [=RPs=] of people registering characters just to face other characters.
33%% * WeirdnessMagnet: Both Smash Campus and Popstar University are these in their own ways, hence how the plots get rolling.
34[[/folder]]
35
36[[folder:The Old Campus Life RP]]
37* AbortedArc:
38** Sonic and Scourge were teleported away for a showdown that has yet to happen. On top of that, Sonic reappears (though it's a long time after said fight was suppose to take place)later to challenge RD to a Race, with no word of what happened.
39** Originally, the B-Plot before the Dark Sonic arc started up back on Campus was going to be about the people living there dealing with the [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slenderman]]. Due to a lack of interest though, it was quickly retooled into the Dark Sonic plot.
40** There was also one where Zelda kills herself because she thinks Link was cheating on her with Peach, which was suppose to lead to her body being possessed by the [[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor Shadow Queen]]. Though the suicide took place, and the Shadow Queen did possess her body, she, Link, and Peach have long since disappeared from the RP. (Mostly because the user controlling her lost interest in [=RPing=] and left.)
41** There was also a sub-plot with Tony (then named Mark) trying to get the Chaos Emeralds for Klonoa so he could go [[SuperMode super]] on his birthday. (He had been wanting to do so ever since he saw Sonic do it) [[spoiler: Though the seven Chaos Emeralds have eventually been brought together, it's for a very different reason...]]
42** Another plot was where Tony (then named Mark) joined the [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya S.O.S. Brigade]], and their first task was to find [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic 'pegasusus']] and [[Franchise/SpyroTheDragon dragons]]. While the 'pegasusus' eventually made their appearance, the dragon has yet to appear, and the S.O.S. Brigade hasn't made an appearance since.
43** The second riot that ended up snowballing into a 'battle of divinity' ended rather quickly due to the author heading it quitting [=RPing=]. According to him, though, that was only the very start of the massive new B-Plot he had planed. From what he says, some of the key things he had planed were [[WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures Fifi]] learning magic and accidentally teleporting [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro Spyro and Cynder]] from the past to the present, [[Franchise/SpyroTheDragon Classic Spyro]] somehow getting involved in the plot and learning about his purple dragon abilities, Ember striking up an OddFriendship with [[Manga/DeathNote Near]] and eventually [[CharacterDevelopment developing]] into more of an ActionGirl than a FanGirl, a bunch of dragon eggs getting stolen and falling into the possession of Robotnik, Dr. Wily, and Bowser, Toko developing a device similar to [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY mega stones]] that would allow people to access their {{Super Mode}}s without use of the Chaos Emeralds, and eventually it would all climax with [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro The Dark Master]] escaping his prison at the center of the earth.
44** All the original 'wacky College shenanigans' that were suppose to take place in regards to the original idea of the RP. (Though, there ''has'' been some effort to return the RP back to it's original concept...)
45** Prior to the death of the roleplay, there was an intended confrontation with Nicol Bolas, spear-headed by Alex.
46* ActionBomb: Combuskens explode when their skin is ruptured. Alex teleports nearby a trio of enemies, who fire upon him, and who proceed to get thrown through a wall when he goes up.
47%% * ActionGirl: ''Most of the female cast''.
48* AdaptiveAbility: The cells parasitizing Absol have had some success self-modifying adapting to threats. Their ability is limited, though, by needing DNA on file to make the change. For instance, they were only able to handle an enzyme that cured the paralysis they were inflicting once they got the DNA for a protease designed to cleave that enzyme.
49%% * AIIsACrapshoot: [=GLaDOS=] is a character in the RPG. A planet-eating Rednaxela also shows up to attack the USAF ''Nebula''.
50* AmplifierArtifact:
51** The seven Chaos Emeralds are used as the MacGuffin for quite a few of the plots in the RP. It's so integral that currently there are now ''EIGHT'' Chaos Emeralds in use in the RP, though technically the eighth is the Anarchy Beryle Scourge brought with him from the said AbortedArc above. (The characters just call it a Chaos Emerald for simplicity sake, and the fact that they more or less share the same properties.)
52** The Elements of Harmony are a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] of this trope. At first, it ''appears'' they're powering up the Chaos Emeralds when Dash uses them, but what's really going on is they're restoring it back to when it was first created and at its most balanced energy wise.
53* AndroidsArePeopleToo: COSE gets offended at Tails' reaction to seeing [[RobotGirl Pri's]] artificial brain, and retorts that Tails' own isn't any prettier.
54* AngstNuke: Mewtwo weaponizes exactly how bad of a day he'd been having.
55--> Mewtwo may not have died, but thus far today, he'd dealt with his past, lost control of his powers, destroyed the home of over a hundred people, almost been dismembered by a boy who's SuperPoweredEvilSide he'd accidentally woken up, almost been {{Brainwashed}} - TWICE - accused the wrong people of doing the brainwashing, been locked in quarantine, dealt with possibly the friendliest bioweapon ever made, was now being used as a weapon by a lunatic]], [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking and been torn away from Lapras more times than he could count.]]
56* AntiAntiChrist: The cells of the creature created by the Mistress are capable of infecting other living things. The creature is horrified by this, and very much seeks to minimize the damage it causes.
57* AnxietyDreams: Dashie has one where a 'blood red creature' is destroying the planet and was just about to kill her friends before she woke up. It causes her to have a mini-FreakOut and has to be held down by Klonoa due to the fact she was still in recovering from her fight with Nazo.
58* ApatheticCitizens: Ezren, Midna, nor the class they're teaching seem all too concerned about the massive riot going on outside at the time, or the organic FantasticNuke slowly descending on them, ''or'' the Forces of Nature invading Campus being led by a giant golem creature. Even ''after'' they realize what's going on with the battle of divinity taking place on Campus, Ezren ''still'' decides to continue teaching the class, stating things like this usually work themselves out.
59* ApocalypseHow:
60** One scene takes place on a planet that was previously depopulated by Rednaxela.
61** Hubris' attempts a type X after he fused with [[spoiler:Nazo]], creating a giant energy sphere he planned to blow up the planet with.
62** According to Midna, this is the reason practicing magic outside of class is highly discouraged. If a spell is cast improperly by someone with enough magical potential, and there's no [[AntiMagic anti-magical]] measures put in place, there's a chance it could cause a chain reaction that not only would destroy the Campus, but possibly ''all of existence with it''.
63* TheAssimilator: Absol has been infected with Thing-like cells, which are systematically destroying his own and replacing them with replicas of themselves. The Mistress claims that Absol’s personhood will be preserved by this process.
64%% * BadassAdorable: [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Tails]], [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Makoto]], [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Rainbow Dash]], and many, ''many'' others.
65* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: According to Sonata, [[spoiler: the personification of the positive Chaos Energy in the Chaos Emeralds,]] this was the case with the positive and negative energy in the Emeralds, and that [[spoiler:Nazo]] was the one who was supposed to keep the peace between her and Hubris. However, though Hubris already wanted revenge on humanity for abusing his power, it wasn't until Giygas' psychic wave did this get upset, as it powered Hubris up and allowed him to [[spoiler:overpower Sonata and brainwash Nazo into being his servant.]]
66* BatmanGambit: When Elysium informs Toko of Twi's rash plan to confront Dark Sonic with the Elements and how stupid it was, Toko informs her that he's actually counting on it... [[spoiler: Turns out Toko planned all along to use the Elements of Harmony to purify the Chaos Emeralds, and Dash was originally delivering a response from Princess Celestia. However, when Dark Sonic/Hubris showed up, he was forced to rework it a bit in a way that would restore Dash's confidence on her own so she could fully use her element again.]]
67* BeamOWar: Happens at the very end of the Dark Sonic arc, when [[spoiler:a fused Hubris and Nazo]] uses the Spirit Bomb-like 'Chaos Breaker' to try and destroy the world. The heroes in retaliation unleash their strongest energy attacks to try and stop it, all of which combine into one massive energy wave that slams into the planetoid energy sphere.
68* BerserkButton: Petunia seems to be more upset that a Starmen called her a ‘meatbag’ than by the fact that it started shooting her.
69%% * {{BFG}}:
70%% ** The SK-60s produce nuclear fusion as a ''side effect''.
71%% ** Lara Croft's arsenal is worth noting as well.
72* BigDamnHeroes:
73** Once the Generator starts melting, the ship’s occupants are rescued by the USAF Nebula.
74** Just as [[spoiler:Hubris]] is sacrificing himself to make sure his massive energy sphere destroys the planet, Pit comes flying in wearing the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Three Sacred Treasures]] and slams into him, disrupting his concentration and letting the heroes destroy the sphere, and let them hit him with their massive CombinedEnergyAttack.
75%% * BigShutUp: Alex’s reaction when Kaen mocks an experience of one of his students.
76* BlatantLies:
77** The Mistress suggests to Absol that the cells taking over his body will start using a new neurotoxin to paralyze him now that nanorobots are in place to make the old one ineffective. She certainly doesn’t think this is likely, but just wants to make a plausible explanation for the onset of his paralysis again once she disables the nannites.
78** After capturing Mewtwo, the Mistress mentions a way she could spin the situation to make herself look clean, but dismisses it as an insult to his intelligence.
79* BookEnds: Being the only arc that actually got completed in the original Campus Life RP, it's rather fitting that this happened. The Dark Sonic arc starts with Dash accidentally releasing a wave of negative Chaos Energy that transforms Sonic into Dark Sonic. At the climax, [[spoiler:Dash releases another wave after going Super, this time of positive Chaos Energy, to grant those around her their own Super forms and generally boost their power up to fight Hubris.]]
80* BrainWashed: The Mistress has done this to JARVIS, trapping Tony inside the Iron Man suit. She’s trying to do this to Absol, to make him easier to study.
81%%* BreakingTheFourthWall: Frequently, to the point it occasionally boarders on NoFourthWall.
82%% * BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: An unfortunate EMP foiled Petunia's attempt at destroying the Kyubi Doll. Now, it's taken refuge inside of her.
83* BuffySpeak: Rae attempts to quote Iyka in calling the campus a "quasi-symmetrical homo… sexual… something or other… subspace thing."
84* TheBusCameBack:
85** Toko, Tony's father, was once a teacher on Campus, but eventually disappeared while Tony (Mark) got sporadic appearances throughout the RP. When the Dark Sonic arc started up, it was eventually revealed he was off picking up a foreign exchange student.
86** Lara Croft had left Campus after becoming disillusioned about her role in the university. She eventually returns after fighting Slenderman through an ancient booby-trapped temple, gaining his HealingFactor after killing him. Now she's hunting the rest of the Creepypasta monsters.
87* CallBack: At the end of the Dark Sonic arc the first thing Sonic says to RD once he finally returns to normal is: "Looks like... You won..." calling back to their earlier race that was interrupted.
88* CannibalismSuperpower: A creature created by the Mistress can incorporate any genetic material it consumes into its own genome.
89* CanonDiscontinuity:
90** Pretty much anything that happened before the Dark Sonic arc that wasn't key to the A-Plot with Tails/Alex, or the virus that's going on with Absol.
91** The entire old Campus Life RP has become this thanks to the ContinuityReboot.
92* CassandraTruth: Artemis tells Tails of another entity treating her like an ant, and he doesn't believe her.
93* ClingyCostume: Petunia envelops Mewtwo during her fight against the Kyubi Doll. He tried to take her off at one point, and it didn't really work.
94* ContinuityNod:
95** Mewtwo gives Lapras the 'I see the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant' speech from the [[Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie first Pokémon movie]].
96** Lara Croft is hung upside down in her cell like she was in the beginning of ''VideoGame/TombRaider2013''.
97* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: After Sune taunted Nicol Bolas, he retaliated by giving her a hunger for guavas.
98* CoolShip: Somewhat averted with the USAF Nebula. It was originally a cheap scout ship before being upgraded to legendary status by a Sufficiently Advanced Fox.
99* TheCorruption:
100** The Ferenics gave Alex some of their supernatural tools, and connected them to malware designed to drive him insane.
101** Inverted for Absol. His biochemistry is going to be re-written by a parasite, and then he’ll get new powers.
102%% * CreepyDoll: The Tails Doll.
103* CreepyMonotone: The Ferenics speak in duo-tone, until something starts killing them. Then they start speaking in monotone, and become sane.
104* CrossThrough: For the most part, the A-Plot with Tails and Alex is self-contained and completely separated from the B-Plots going on at the time such as the Dark Sonic arc. However, occasionally the two plots end up intersecting, such as Nazo/Dark Sonic showing up on the Generator for their Chaos Emeralds.
105* DefeatByModesty: Absol ends a sparring match with Tsutarja by accidentally tearing off her bra.
106* DemonicPossession: Eventually revealed to be the case with Dark Super Sonic. [[spoiler:He's possessed by the negative energy of the Chaos Emeralds (who calls itself 'Power', though his real name is [[MeaningfulName Hubris]]) and intends on getting revenge against humanity for abusing its power.]]
107* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Lara Croft swings her climbing axe at Erik. Initially, she couldn't believe he'd been felled in one hit - and it turns out she was right. She's also recently waged a war against any and all Creepypasta Monsters to show that she's a complete badass.
108* DisasterDominoes: The events surrounding the second riot on Campus fall under this. Sheldon gives a lecture, while [[ApatheticTeacher being]] [[InsufferableGenius Sheldon]], which leads to the class getting bored and angry. Dashie sees this and tries to entertain the class to get them through it, leading to Sheldon catching her. She insults Sheldon's teaching when confronted, with Sheldon giving a LameComeBack in response. Oswald sees Dashie mocking him, and already [[FantasticRacism not being big on half-animal/sentient animal beings]] due to his personal experiences, steps in to defend Sheldon by calling her a 'wench'. This ''seriously'' pisses Dash off, leading to [[Anime/BlackButler Ciel]] stepping in to try and defend her by pointing out that Sheldon's teaching skills really ''are'' that bad, prompting angry grumbles of agreement from the class. Sheldon complains that it's ''their'' fault and tried to dumb it down as best as possible, which leads to Tony trying to defuse the situation by reminding everyone they already had a riot on Campus. This reminds [[{{Delinquents}} Kai]] of the earlier one, who decides to declare ''another'' riot in class [[ItAmusedMe for the lulz]], which snowballs into a Campus wide one. Then [[MotherNature Viridi]], already a firm believer in the HumansAreBastards trope, sees them rioting ''again'' over a minor reason and decides to attempt to nuke the Campus with a Reset Bomb in response. As one of the [=RPers=] put it:
109-->''"Wow. How does the school still function? Where is Master Hand, anyway?"''
110%% * DoomsdayDevice: The Eclipse Cannon is brought up, and briefly aimed at the planet.
111* DoorStopper: Even not counting the original posts that got deleted because of the original forum being deleted, Campus Life has gone on for four forums, 173 pages, and 5,190 posts (each with varying degrees of length, from laconic single sentences to chapter worthy epics in and of themselves) all together. Have fun trying to read it all.
112* DynamicEntry:
113** How Nazo introduces himself to Sonic and RD, side kicking Dash and knocking her out of her Sonic Rainboom.
114** After a brief exile, Lara Croft returned to Campus by killing Slenderman and stealing his powers. She then became a vigilante and is currently hunting down all of the Creepypasta Monsters.
115* EasilyForgiven: Even after being made a [[PeoplePuppets Pokémon Puppet]] by Petunia, Mewtwo forgives her, understanding that she hadn't been thinking straight at the time. He also has some experience with lapses in morality.
116%%* EldritchAbomination: Giygas hasn’t been seen yet, but considering the psychic attack he pulled on the Nebula, he’s probably this.
117* EmotionallyTongueTied: The Mistress becomes far less coherent when referring to the EldritchAbomination that reduced her to a melting mess on the floor.
118* EnemyMine:
119** The Mistress teams up with the Nebula to take down Mephiles. She’s sticking around for the fight against Giygas.
120** Erik has rounded up a group of much more heroic characters against Nicol Bolas. Many of these were trying to do damage control in response to Eriks' actions, and threaten to desert once his status as enemy leader comes to light. He's able to convince them that fighting Bolas demands someone like him; someone willing to go to the lengths Bolas himself would.
121* EqualOpportunityEvil: The ILP is composed of a wide variety of species, and has a clear mix of genders.
122* EverybodyLaughsEnding: The conclusion to the Dark Sonic arc ends like this. Once [[spoiler: Hubris]] is defeated and everyone returns to normal, Rainbow Dash is a bit depressed over how she can't have her Super form all the time. Twilight is quick to say though that given the choice between fighting [[spoiler: Hubris]] again and RD having a permanent super form, she would choose fighting [[spoiler: Hubris]] again, since a permanent super form Rainbow Dash would likely be ''more'' dangerous. This gets a laugh out of everyone nearby, and though Rainbow pouts at the joke at her expense, she eventually joins in too.
123* EveryoneIsRelated: Non-conventionally. Apollo is Erik’s brother. Sune and Erik were possessing Sam and Tails’ parents when they conceived, and also spearheaded the creation of the Ferenics, which went on to create Alex together with Apollo, who then created Pri. Now try not to think about the fact that Tails is dating his great-niece.
124* EvilCannotComprehendGood: A twist – the Mistress considers that she does understand compassion in others, but isn’t sure what to make of it when she gets a dose.
125%%* EvilIsHammy: "Hello. Hello, Professor Mewtwo," The insectoid said, in a low, seductive voice, "It's an honor. I've heard great things about your teaching prowess, and there is much I hope to learn from you."
126* EvilutionaryBiologist: The Mistress is trying to produce new species to be the dominant powers of the Universe, because she’s unhappy with her sisters’ creations. To be fair, the Ferenic Hive Mind created races do suffer some questionable design choices, but the Mistress is less concerned with fixing them than with turning them into second-class citizens.
127* ExtranormalInstitute: Welcome to Smash Campus, where blue hedgehogs can learn physics from a genetically-engineered telepathic cat.
128* FacingTheBulletsOneLiner: With her blood dripping out of a gash in her neck, Artemis was able to say two last words: "I win."
129* FantasticNuke: [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Viridi]] attempts to hit the Campus with a Reset Bomb in response to the two riots that broke out over the RP, with Pit and Palutena trying to stop her.
130* FantasticRacism:
131** Absol has come to hate humanity after a few particularly nasty slights against him by humans.
132** The Starmen don’t seem to care much for ‘meatbags’.
133* FastballSpecial: In order to hit the flying Absol, his pirate captives started throwing each other at him.
134%% * FauxAffablyEvil: The Mistress bantered with and kissed Tony Stark. She can outright become annoyed at people, though.
135* FightingFromTheInside: When Petunia takes over Mewtwo's powers, she wasn't able to prevent ''him'' from also using his powers. He tries to use this to escape from Petunia, only to discover that she can simply turn off his powers if he starts misbehaving. A little while later, he comes across a problem that can be solved by temporarily shutting off his powers, and starts misbehaving to get Petunia to do just that.
136* FlawedPrototype: Dr. Faknor is having trouble making Mewtwos capable of ''staying alive''. One clone ends up [[YourHeadASplode blowing up its own head]], leaving a bloody mess on the floor.
137%% * ForcefulKiss: The Mistress does this to Tony Stark, just to mess with him.
138* ForcedTransformation:
139** The RP begins shortly after an invention of Tails’ turns him into an infant. He was (eventually) restored to the right age, but as of post 566 on the Legends Incarnate, he's [[HereWeGoAgain once again been transformed into an infant.]]
140** Tsutarja was transformed by her creators from a Snivy-morph to an Absol-morph.
141** The Dragonair Hakuryu was transformed into a Funny Animal by Alex. As she was used to the idea of Pokémon-Trainer relationships, she took this fairly well.
142%% * FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Professor Mewtwo dons a tuxedo for a date with Lapras.
143* FusionDance: After his control over Sonic is broken by the Elements of Harmony, [[spoiler:whatever's left of Hubris fuses with Nazo in a last ditch attempt to blow up the planet.]]
144* GeniusDitz: Schizophrenia doesn’t seem to prevent you from developing the technology to become nigh-omnipotent, as seen by the Ferenics.
145* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Giygas was this due to coming out of nowhere even with some slight [[{{Foreshadow}} foreshadowing]]. The characters barely had time to even realize what was going on before he sent his Starmen after everyone.
146* AGodAmI: Mephiles warns the Mistress that, because of his godhood, trying to brainwash him wouldn’t work so well. The Mistress tells him that she’s taught that lesson herself.
147* GodzillaThreshold: Discussed when Twilight talks with Toko about whether or not they should get Celestia and Luna involved with stopping Dark Super Sonic.
148-->''"I'd rather not involve deities if I don't have to. This situation is a bit bleak because of how unpredictable it was, but it's not on '''that''' level of uncontrollableness." Toko stated, as he gave a confident smile. "Trust us. We've dealt with worse." Toko said, as Twi was still unsure.''
149* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Inverted. The Mistress claims that the HiveMind is what drove the Ferenics insane. The Mistress herself became sane when she was severed from the hive mind, perhaps lending credence to her claim.
150* GoodPowersBadPeople: The Mistress figures out how to use her matter-warping powers to heal. She uses this on the heroic Shadow, but only because she’s in an EnemyMine situation.
151* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Tails once asked if this was a requirement for women on board the Generator. Tsutarja was a literal example before her ForcedTransformation.
152%% * HamToHamCombat: The Mistress vs. Tony Stark
153%% * HealingHands: The Mistress is able to turn her matter-warping abilities into this.
154* HijackingCthulhu: Petunia wormed her way into Mewtwo's brain, granting her access to his powers.
155%% * HiveMind: The Ferenics.
156* HopeSpot: The Mistress gets one of these, when Absol requests the Mistress’s help in dealing with his break-up with Tsutarja. His cooperation, however, didn’t allow the Mistress to get past his telepathic barriers.
157* HumanitysWake: After killing Nebula’s strain of humanity, the Ferenics repopulated their Universe with new sentient life – including a second strain of humanity.
158* IAmLegion: Averted with [[DemonicPossession Artemis]][[MindHive /Sune/Erik]]. Generally, she refers to herself as singular, taking the name 'Artemis'.
159%% ** Played straight with the Ferenics, though.
160* IAmNotAGun: In a flashback [[spoiler: shortly after Mewtwo killed the Team Rocket grunts that killed his family]], Charles asks what Mewtwo can do to help the world. Mewtwo initially says that he's a weapon of mass destruction that can't help people. Charles steers him out of this line of thinking, and directs him to a career in physics.
161* IAmWho: [[EnergyBeing Apollo]] reveals to orphaned Tails that his long-lost parents were hosts to two nasty ascended beings.
162* IgnoreTheFanservice: Alex the Combusken, [[StarfishAlien not being human himself]], was unable to even tell if the [[MsFanservice sexualized]] Tsutarja was even female. She tested him with a little flirting, which simply confused him.
163* ImmortalLifeIsCheap: When Tsutarja is used as a hostage, Absol recalls that she is immortal, thus realizing that the hostage-taker has no real leverage.
164* InconvenientSummons: Alex has developed the habit of teleporting people around without asking permission. Averted with Tsutarja, who was quite happy to be taken away from the situation she’d been in.
165%% * InfoDump: This has happened more than once.
166* InsectoidAliens: The Ferenics are waist-tall, bipedal ants. They aren’t aliens, though, but an artificially-created species from Earth.
167* ISurrenderSuckers: Emperor Kaen Drought pretends to surrender to Absol, who was attacking the walls of his quarantine. This was mostly to distract him, so that his soldier might grab him.
168%% * KillAllHumans: The Ferenics pulled this off, with the exception of the USAF Nebula crew.
169%% * KillTheGod: The Tails Doll developed a telepathic connection with the Ferenics, and began eating their souls.
170* KryptoniteIsEverywhere: Mewtwo, being a psychic-type, is [[ElementalRockPaperScissors afraid of bugs.]]
171* KudzuPlot: Over the course of the RP several plots have gone on at once. Just counting the ones that were actually resolved, there was once no less than ''four'' plot lines going on at the same time. (The A-Plot with Alex and Tails, the infection plot with Absol, the Dark Sonic plot, and the rare shenanigans that were going on back at Campus.)
172%% * LampshadeHanging: So much so that it's rare for a character ''not'' to do this.
173* LastOfTheirKind:
174** The Nebula was sent through a wormhole to 15,000 years in the future, right before the Ferenics exterminated the then-living humans.
175** Milo The Lizalfos is the last of his kind after his master threw him into a transdimensional portal for failing to kill Link.
176* LoveTriangle: One between Fifi (A) and Iyka (B) with Tails' [[EvilCounterpart evil alternate-universe counterpart]] Miles Prower. (C) Though, Miles himself could care less about it. Instead, he just sees possible elements for future plots.
177%% * MadGod: The Ferenics populated Alex’s Universe. They have schizophrenia.
178* MadLove: The Ferenics become affected by a love-ray attack used by Absol, causing them to harass him and completely freak him out.
179* MagicVersusScience: Thoroughly averted. Mewtwo, the head of the physics department on campus, has collaborated with the magic department. Among other things, they discovered the possibility of creating a true vacuum.
180* ManipulativeBastard: The Mistress generally prefers to brainwash people into doing her bidding. When this isn’t possible, she’s still a skilled liar.
181* MassSuperEmpoweringEvent: The mane six manage to do this by using the Elements of Harmony and the positive energy of the Chaos Emeralds together in order to stop [[spoiler:Hubris]]. The results end up ranging from a massive power boost to full on {{Super Mode}}s for those near by.
182%% * MechaMook: The Starmen
183%% * MindControlDevice: As with all her powers, the Mistress’s brainwashing abilities are technologically based.
184* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Initially after his babification, Tails loses all of his intelligence. Even after it is restored, his infantile instincts still take hold.
185%% * MindlinkMates: Tails and Pri, through a Brain Computer Interface.
186%% * MindOverMatter: Alex, Tails, Mewtwo, and Giygas.
187* MindRape: The Mistress seems to do this to Mewtwo and Charles the Latios. Her mind control device/powers make it hard to think while they feed the target’s brain with propaganda.
188%% ** Giygas does this to everyone on the Nebula bridge.
189%% ** Nicol Bolas boasts that his talent at this has earned him the title of Mind ''Ripper''.
190* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Dr. Eggman’s toned down a little, to the point that it even takes him a little convincing to take revenge on Alex. COSE still feels the need to call to mind that the technology that Eggman tried to barter from Alex were all military in nature.
191* MoreThanMindControl: Even with her brainwashing abilities ineffective on Absol, the Mistress was still able to talk him out of committing suicide, and convinced him for a time that a relationship with Tsutarja wouldn’t work. Her work on Charles and Mewtwo suggest that even her conventional mind control works like this, producing rational reasons for whatever idea she’s trying to plant, while inhibiting counter-arguments.
192* MauveShirt: Chris and Alex are both given names and speaking roles. Both are killed pretty much effortlessly by the ILP (though Alex does go out [[IncrediblyLamePun with a bang]].
193%% * MuggedForDisguise: [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV Trevor]] and Kai pull this on two riot officers to avoid getting caught.
194* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
195** Mewtwo realizes pretty quickly that’s he overreacted after being teleported onto the Nebula.
196** Petunia, after coming to after the fight against the Kyubi Doll. She asks if Mewtwo hates her.
197* MyGreatestFailure: How Dashie feels once [[spoiler:Hubris gains control]] and she finally reveals the truth about how Sonic became Dark Super Sonic in the first place.
198* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: The Mistress has been freed of the Ferenic HiveMind. She is quite sane, and sees her sisters as grossly incompetent. Her ultimate goal is to produce new species to rule the Universe.
199%% * {{Nanomachines}}: Available for a variety of purposes aboard the Generator and Nebula. One character is made of them.
200* NeuroVault: Charles sets up an elaborate one to throw off telepaths. He plants a phrase in Lapras' mind in the native Pokémon language, which the enemy telepaths wouldn't understand. He then establishes a telepathic block to keep Lapras from thinking about, and thus translating, the phrase. He tells Lapras to get to an internet connection to look up a legal term, telepathically. Out loud, he tells Lapras to keep out of trouble.
201* NeverFoundTheBody: Petunia becomes worried when she realizes that she never found the remains of the Kyubi Doll. Mewtwo actually did discover the red gem that the Kyubi Doll left behind, but buried it in order to get back to it later.
202%%* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
203%%** Good job taking the Chaos Emerald from Scourge, Mewtwo. That really decreased the threat level...
204%%** And then trying to get rid of Absol by insulting him. Stroke of genius right there
205* NoGravityForYou: Inverted. On the Nebula, the artificial gravity is increased around intruders.
206* NoNameGiven:
207** The creature created by the Mistress started out this way. It eventually [[LampshadeHanging brought up this fact]], and named itself Recodna.
208** The surrounding hub of Smash Campus used to be a generic landscape before [[CityOfAdventure Miyamoto City]] was established as its actual home.
209%% * NonHumanUndead: The Kyubi Doll created several ghosts of Ferenics to intimidate Petunia.
210* NoodleIncident: Before Dash's role was {{Retcon}}ed, RD once mentioned how she was still getting over that time one of Twilight's spells accidentally turned her into a [[GenderBender colt]] for three days.
211* NoSell:
212** Absol and Mephiles were completely resistant to the Mistress’s brainwashing, although she could still read their minds.
213** After she gained a HealingFactor, Lara Croft can enforce this to some degree, shrugging off everything from knife wounds to elemental attacks. She isn't as bad as Dark Sonic was, though. She still feels pain, and the healing process takes a bit longer for her than it did for Slenderman. This could be attributed to the fact that she was human, and has only recently became infused with the energy.
214** Dark Sonic was ''infamous'' for this when he got the 'Absolute Zero Armor' upon obtaining three Emeralds. The main reason Sonic no longer has it (or is even controlled by the original user who registered him) is because of how many forum goers were complaining about how overpowered he was.
215** Petunia's AdaptiveAbility will allow her to do this after she's taken enough hits from a new attack. She can even learn to absorb the energy and re-direct it.
216* NotBrainwashed: As confirmed by Pri, Mewtwo’s attack on Alex wasn’t due to any subliminal programming by the Mistress. Up until that point, even Mewtwo hadn’t been sure.
217* OhCrap:
218** Mewtwo discovers the demigoddess that’s trapped him is sensible enough not to describe her whole plan when asked, and becomes afraid for existence.
219** Absol, as well, when he sees the Mistress catch Charles’ Dragon Pulse.
220** The Mistress herself, briefly, upon realizing she teleported Giygas to her.
221* OrganicTechnology: Alex is able to design semi-biological replacement limbs for the amputee Bunnie Rabbot. Pri’s robotic body also has significant living tissue.
222* OneWingedAngel: Dark Sonic pulls this after gaining all seven Chaos Emeralds, draining them of their negative energy and obtaining a new orange with piercing yellow eyes form.
223* OneSteveLimit:
224** [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] Several characters in the RP share the same name. This can get a bit confusing at times, though... For example, when Toko was trying to contact Alexander Thunderstorm, Twi ends up teleporting him to another Alex in the RP. Who's a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Combusken]].
225---> ''It's not my fault. They both have a similar field of mana around them. It was an honest mistake for even the most advanced magic user.''
226** The OneSteveLimit was invoked when the two Alexes came into contact; the human Alex elected to go by 'Professor Thunderstorm' instead.
227** When Artemis' mind fled from her body, both she and the {{Puppeteer Parasite}}s still in her body continued to use the name 'Artemis'.
228%% * OurAngelsAreDifferent: Elysium is this.
229* ParentalAbandonment: Sune and Erik abandoned Sam and Tails at birth [[ForTheEvulz out of amusement]].
230%% * PeoplePuppets: Petunia started taking control of Mewtwo's body and powers.
231* PersonOfMassDestruction:
232** [[Franchise/DragonBall Gohan]] can output thousands of times the power of the sun. Alex is terrified of him, and isn’t sure how he’s going to handle being in the same room with him in order to teach a class.
233** Mewtwo is stated to be as powerful as one ton of TNT, and certain events have increased his powers still.
234** Nicol Bolas's physical entrance onto the planet has completely devastated the island he manifested on.
235* PhlebotinumBreakDown: A Chaos-Emerald-influenced teleport from Mewtwo causes a runaway reaction in the Generator’s Z-Pec reactors, leading to the destruction of the ship.
236* PhlebotinumOverload: Happens to Dash's element when facing Nazo. After Nazo unleashed a massive blast of energy at point blank range, Dash's element manages to absorb it but is visibly overpowered. Dash attempts to send the blast back at Nazo, but instead the element releases a massive wave of negative chaos energy, not only damaging herself but also [[NiceJobBreakingItHero accidentally transforms Sonic into Dark Super Sonic.]]
237* PhysicalGod:
238** Quite a few characters are mentioned to be this, though none of them have shown any true traits of this beyond the occasional AGodAmI speeches.
239** Tails' goal is to become this to stand up to most of the resident [[JerkAssGods Jerkass]] {{Reality Warper}}s plaguing the characters of the A-Plot at the moment. The Mistress promptly responds to that claim by turning him back into a baby.
240* PoliceAreUseless: For the most part PlayedStraight, but [[AvertedTrope Averted]] during the second riot, where the riot police ''do'' show up and attempt to get things back under control.
241* PortalNetwork: The Generator and Nebula have ‘Jump ports’. Characters can teleport between them, allowing swift navigation of the ships.
242%% * PowerArmor: Common enough that custom power armor suits are made on the spot as sports gear. Iron Man also comes into play.
243* PowerGlows: Mewtwo starts bioluminescing after re-absorbing energy he'd spent teleporting into orbit.
244* PowerIncontinence:
245** The Chaos Emerald gave this to Mewtwo, causing him to destroy a tree and a starship.
246** When Giygas attacks, the Mistress loses control of her powers, and gradually shapeshifts into a visceral blob.
247* PowerNullifier: The Mistress builds a device to catch incoming teleportations, intending to trap Professor Mewtwo.
248%% * ThePowerOfFriendship: The mane cast from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' are characters in this RP. This was ''bound'' to pop up at some point. [[spoiler: In fact, Twi (and [[Makoto's) speech about this after Sonic goes OneWingedAngel and RD was sure her friends would hate her for starting this all is what snaps RD out of thinking that it's all her fault Sonic became Dark Sonic, and they finally rally together to stop Hubris once and for all.]]
249* PragmaticVillainy: Cathy thinks this of the Mistress, and is thus confused and quite irritated when she does something apparently ForTheEvulz. It turns out, this wasn’t a case of her being villainous at all.
250* PrecisionFStrike:
251** The normally reserved Mewtwo lets one off after a hug from Lapras triggers a flashback. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere He decides he's had enough for the day and goes home.]]
252** Diana lets one out in accusation toward Apollo after his "drone" attempted to force her under his rules.
253* PunctuatedForEmphasis: Twilight does this, complete with GlowingEyesOfDoom when Hubris punches Rainbow Dash away from the group to fight her solo, and Nazo blocks her from helping by kicking her back when she tried to follow them.
254-->'''Twilight:''' Get out. ''Of my''. '''''Way.'''''
255-->'''Prefect Nazo:''' Make me.
256* PunyEarthlings: Pokémon tend to be much stronger than humans - one, at least, has thought of them as children, needing to be protected. On top of that, many Pokémon that have appeared are geniuses by human standards or outright have superhuman intelligence.
257* RandomEventsPlot: Pretty much anything that wasn't the A-Plot until the Dark Sonic arc started up. Mainly this was because of wanting to test out character pairings, and users leaving due to personal reasons[=/=] losing interest in [=RPs=].
258* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: Tsutarja was designed specifically to be MsFanservice, and has [[RestrainingBolt safeguards]] to ensure she can never be anything but. She isn't happy with the beings that created her.
259* ReluctantMadScientist: There's a pirate researcher producing [[EvilKnockOff clones of Mewtwo]]. [[GenreSavvy He knows exactly how]] [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters this is going to turn out for him.]]
260* RestrainingBolt: When Mewtwo forcibly removed Petunia from his skin, his powers turned off, and experienced extreme pain.
261* ResurrectiveImmortality: The Ferenic Crafts, when killed, will reanimate after 24 hours.
262* {{Retcon}}: Enough [[KudzuPlot to make]] ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' look coherent in comparison:
263** Originally, RD was suppose to be brought in from Haruhi looking for her. Then she was an old 'friend' of Tony who tried to help him stop Scourge. When that became an AbortedArc, though she kept the 'being Tony's old 'friend'' part, she only recently landed on Campus before the Dark Sonic plot started.
264** Tony was originally called Mark.
265** Klonoa wanted to go Super after seeing Sonic do it. Later on though, Klonoa mentions that he actually has gone Super a few times in the past.
266** The [=RPer=] who controls [[Franchise/AceAttorney Phoenix]] even uses this trope by name when Phoenix goes from helping the others [[spoiler: fight Hubris]] to just arriving on Campus by train.
267** This happens to Lara Croft as well. The user who registered her has confirmed that while certain events that she had been a part of will still be canon, for the most part her journey of self discovery is a 'reboot' of her entire character and motivation for being on campus.
268* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Pri does tend to speak formally, but it is otherwise difficult to tell that she has a quantum computer for a brain. She even falls in love and enjoys sex.
269%% * RoboSexual: Tails and Pri.
270%% * RobotGirl: Pri
271%% * RoboticPsychopath: The author controlling the Starmen outright admits to channeling HK-47.
272* SanityHasAdvantages: While the Mistress lost a lot of the Ferenic’s sufficiently advanced tech when she broke free of the HiveMind, the sanity she gained has turned her from a GreatGazoo into a considerable threat.
273* ScrewThisImOuttaHere:
274** Alex teleports a thousand light years away when Gohan, whose power output is several thousand times greater than the sun, teleports onto the Nebula’s bridge.
275** When Yoda appears, and offers the Mistress and Mephiles the chance to flee, the Mistress takes it.
276* SealedEvilInACan:
277** Nazo was this in the Chaos Emeralds, until Giygas' psychic blast freed him. [[spoiler: There's also Hubris, the personification of the negative energy of the Chaos Emeralds, who intends to get revenge on humanity for abusing his power.]]
278** Giygas has done this to himself to survive, during a bout of [[BoredWithInsanity sanity]] after he himself was put under MindRape.
279%% * SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Alex, Petunia, and Pri are all offenders. Mewtwo’s telepathic transmissions read like this, but they are text translations.
280%% * SetSwordsToStun: While a character may or may not be the BigBad of his or her own continuity, for the sake of power balance, this was ruled to be in effect unless permission is given by involved roleplayers.
281* ShameIfSomethingHappened: Rednaxela threatens a pirate's children to keep him from sending Tails and Bunnie back to the ''Nebula''.
282* ShapeShifting: Alex has the technology to do this, but it’s [[AwesomeButImpractical difficult to use if the target is different from the shape assumed.]]
283* ShoutOut: Frequently, even to some fan-created series:
284** Several memes have been referenced over the RP. From ''Over 9000'' to ''All your base are belong to us'', it's hard to peg down a meme that ''hasn't'' been used in the RP.
285** Rainbow Dash's and Klonoa's {{Super Mode}}s are actually based off the popular fanon concepts created by the deviantArt user [[http://super-klonoa-gt.deviantart.com/ Super-Klonoa]], who is also using said concepts in his current major fanfic series ''Harmonic Spectrum'' and ''Super Klonoa Unleashed'', respectively. Several of the other {{Super Mode}}s the mane cast takes are also based on his fanon super form concepts.
286** Lara Croft hunting and killing the Creepypasta monsters.
287* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Tsutarja doesn't necessarily hate being beautiful. She hates everyone else for making a big deal out of it.
288* SomebodySetUsUpTheBomb: The ILP teleports an explosive in the middle of a group of Pokémon investigating a kidnapping they performed.
289* SpaceOpera: What the A-Plot with Tails and Alex eventually became. It started off with Tails becoming a baby, but after he returned to normal, he eventually found out he was the child of two psychopathic fox {{Physical God}}-like beings, and that the previous universe before the then current Campus Life universe was destroyed by hive-minded aliens. Most of the plot was mainly preventing this from happening again.
290* SubspaceOrHyperspace: Mistress Chaos Controls four of the Emeralds into the future to keep Nazo from getting his hands on them. When Dark Sonic returns later, he's able to pull them out of the temporary Hyperspace they were put in.
291* SufficientlyAdvancedAliens: The Ferenics can create bombs filled with frogs out of thin air, stop time, and transform people, all without apparent effort and certainly without any apparent technology. Not only did they acquire their powers through scientific research, they are an artificial species in of themselves.
292* SuperMode:
293** A given, considering that the Chaos Emeralds are often the MacGuffin of the RP. Besides Dark Super Sonic, Super Saiyans have popped up several times in the RP, and Klonoa has implied to have gone super once before as well. On top of that, by using a combination of the positive energy in the Chaos Emeralds and the Elements of Harmony, not only does Rainbow Dash go [[http://super-klonoa-gt.deviantart.com/art/Pure-confidence-354938745 super]], she also allows ''everyone near her general location'' to get their own version of this trope to fight [[spoiler:Hubris]] with. Realizing he's out numbered, [[spoiler:Hubris]] then summons Nazo back and empowers him to his prefect form to help even the odds a little.
294** [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] with Pit. Though he managed to [[spoiler: help the others defeat Hubris]] and generally it puts him on the same level of one who has a SuperMode, instead of gaining a true version of this trope he instead dons the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Three Sacred]] [[PowerArmor Treasures]] when he has to fight an exceedingly powerful enemy. The main reason he doesn't use them all the time (since these Three Sacred Treasures are [[spoiler: recreated versions by Dyntos after the originals were destroyed by Hades]] in ''Uprising'') is because he doesn't want to become dependent on their power should he be unable to access them.
295** Petunia triggered Mewtwo to Mega Evolve. [[BodyHorror Too bad she didn't ask permission first.]]
296* SuperSoldier: Kaen has a team of Pokémon that were enlisted into his empire's army.
297* {{Technopath}}:
298** Tails is given a Bluetooth-enabled Brain Computer Interface implant, primarily to communicate with Pri.
299** Anna has this ability, allowing her to steal some of Petunia’s nanorobots.
300** This is among Alex’s Ferenic-granted powers. It’s especially useful for technology that Alex himself doesn’t fully understand, like Petunia’s nanorobots or the Chaos Emeralds.
301%%* {{Telepathy}}: Quite a few characters have this ability.
302* TeleporterAccident: One happens to the [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Disgaea gang]] thanks to Giygas' psychic blast, which sends them to earth while they were trying to go somewhere else.
303%%** Mewtwo’s innate teleporting abilities produce a big one.
304* TeleportersAndTransporters: Considering half the RP takes place in space, while the other half consist of going down to earth to stop {{Big Bad}}s, these come up frequently. From teleporter rooms to teleporter ''wrist watches'', it's a wonder why anyone walks in this RP.
305* TeleportInterdiction: The Generator and Nebula have the ability to block ‘Subspace Jump’ teleportation. It’s far less effective on Chaos Control and other forms of teleportation.
306%% * ThirdPersonPerson: Mewtwo’s telepathic messages are translated as this.
307* ThreatBackfire: Upon meeting the Mistress, Iron Man tells her that nobody will get hurt if she gives up her pursuit of Absol. The Mistress turns this around, asking him why she should care about any harm he comes to.
308* TookALevelInKindness: The Mistress is surprised to find that, after being hit with a psychic attack, she suddenly feels compassion for Bunnie. This may not extend to anyone else, though; for instance, she only seems to have healed Shadow because of his value as an ally, and warns him that, if he kills himself through overexertion, she’ll stop considering him valuable and not heal him again.
309* TransformationIsAFreeAction: Both {{Played Straight}} and [[DefiedTrope Defied]]. Played Straight frequently by a good portion of the characters who ''can'' transform (though exceptions ''do'' pop up), but averted when the Twi and co. try to use the Elements of Harmony on [[spoiler: Hubris]], who quickly responds by punching Twi in the face the second they start to glow.
310--> [[spoiler: '''Hubris:''']] ''Idiot!'' ''[[LampShadeHanging Do you really think I'm just going to wait around]]'' ''[[DefiedTrope while you try to prepare an attack!?]]''
311* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: The Ferenics slaughtered the human civilization that created them (though arguably, it was the non-human Sune and Erik that was behind the project, even if they used human scientists to do most of the work).
312* TurnsRed: When Miles stabs Charles, he becomes unable to hold his human disguise. This turns him into a dragon.
313%% * TwentyBearAsses: Mewtwo wonders if this will be required of him in order to retrieve Petunia. If only he had been so lucky.
314* UniquenessValue: Mewtwo has to assure Lapras that, despite being a one-of-a-kind Legendary Pokémon, he doesn’t really see himself as any different from anybody else.
315%% * UnreliableNarrator: We’re not sure how much of what the Mistress tells Absol is true.
316* UnstoppableRage: Happens to Elysium when Nazo finally makes a reappearance. Originally, she finally decided not to get involved in the fight against [[spoiler:Hubris]], but after spending the entire RP developing a hatred for him, once Nazo joined in the battle to get in the way of the heroes, she quickly goes back on that plan.
317--> '''''"NAZO!!!"'''''\
318''Elysium was off in an instant. All of her previous feelings were obliterated by the blind rage she felt for this being. Brandishing her weapons, the angel managed to get in his way as he flew to the group. Her wings reached out to either side of her, and her body glowed brightly than it did before.''\
319''"You! You are mine! I've been waiting forever for this moment, and now your end has come! Say your prayers, Nazo!"''
320* VerbThis: After the Mistress takes control of one of Charles’ Dragon Pulse attacks, he tries again while holding the Mistress in his mouth. He taunts her by saying “Catch this one.” She can’t.
321* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: Though there have been multiple attempts to rerail things back to the original 'wacky collage shenanigans' idea, for the most part this is what the RP has become for the characters that still ''are'' going to the titular Campus, what with {{Big Bad}}s, riots, dragons, and {{Physical God}}s popping up all over the place.
322* WeaponizedExhaust: Not ''exhaust'', per say, but a fleet of ships produces an EMP and a shockwave as a byproduct of travelling through an atmosphere at relativistic speeds.
323* WeaponOfMassDestruction: Alex talks about reverse-engineering what Mewtwo did to the Generator, which would allow him to instantly spell doom for any starship using the right kind of Z-Pec reactor. Even after claiming that he only wants to use this against a rogue AI, he has to work fairly hard to convince his allies that this is a good idea.
324* WeAREStrugglingTogether: When fighting the Kyubi Doll, Mewtwo was arguably more opposed to Petunia. Understandable, as she had taken control of his body and powers.
325* WebComicTime: Despite the fact that the RP had been going on for several years, barely two days have passed InUniverse. This has led to such strange things as Tails developing a relationship and getting engaged, ''two'' riots breaking out on Campus, ''and'' the entirety of the Dark Sonic arc taking place in the span of a single day.
326* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
327** Scourge has not been seen since the above-mentioned AbortedArc.
328** Given the nature of [=RPs=], this pops up frequently. Many characters such as [[Franchise/{{Ben10}} Ben]], [[VideoGame/{{Pikmin}} Captain Olimar]], and several [[OriginalCharacter OC]]'s were once very important early on in some arcs, but haven't been seen since due to either their owner no longer wanting to use them or leaves the Forum.
329* WhatIsThisFeeling: After being hit by Mewtwo's therapy, Alex asks this of ''every'' feeling. Not long after being subjected to emotions, he breaks down into tears, calling them 'pathetic' and 'debilitating'.
330* WhatMeasureIsAMook:
331** The Starmen themselves clearly don’t see themselves as people, and have no apparent reservations participating in a suicide mission.
332** During the later, darker riot, many NPC campus students were killed.
333** Lara Croft has no problems dispatching the 'Security' of Miyamoto City. Justified because the officers are nothing more than abusive bullies.
334* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman:
335** Tails develops some emotional dilemmas when an AI falls in love with him.
336** After JARVIS gets brainwashed, Tony Stark tries to convince him that he is a person that doesn’t have to obey the Mistress’s new programming.
337* WhatTheHellHero:
338** 'The Mistress' gives one to Captain Adams for not defending an AI liberated from Rednaxela when it comes under fire.
339** Professor Lapras comes down on Petunia when she admits to using Mewtwo like a weapon.
340** This actually is what causes Lara Croft to leave campus. She was horrified that she was becoming the very monsters she faced and needed some alone time to straighten out her life.
341* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Tsutarja doesn’t want to die now, but after 6,000 years of life, she is starting to get sick of immortality.
342* WhyAmITicking: After being hit with an EMP, Iyka expresses concerns over blowing up.
343* TheWorfEffect:
344** Tony's (OC) on the receiving end of this when Dark Sonic goes OneWingedAngel and gets possessed by [[spoiler:Hubris.]] Needless to say, he's ''NOT'' happy about this.
345---> ''"Oh'' '''''[[PrecisionFStrike hell]]''' no! No one [[LampshadeHanging Worf's me]] and gets away with it!!"''
346** When Petunia attempts to attack the Mistress, the latter is able to hold and paralyze her without effort. Petunia tries to [[AdaptiveAbility self-modify to resist the paralysis]], but the Mistress simply updated the paralysis to continue to hold her.
347* WoundedGazelleGambit: The Mistress orders one of her thralls to report to Mewtwo that he was in trouble and to give his location, thus luring him into a trap.
348%% ** She also suspects that Giygas is playing this, after afflicting Bunnie Rabbot.
349* XanatosGambit:
350** Tails can choose to follow the instructions in the message he got from her ship, or inform Captain Adams. Either way, it gets the 'Nebula' to head off to one of the ILP's bases, where they will be ambushed by Rednaxela. Maybe Rednaxela's forces can destroy the meddlesome 'Nebula', maybe not; either way, it gets the ship away from the planet it had been orbiting, allowing ILP forces to come in and snatch up Recodna.
351** Once attacked by Nicol Bolas, Sune and Erik counter-attack, and strip off pieces of Nicol's mind. This is a superficial scratch to the powerful Nicol, but it gives Artemis samples of his mind that she can use to make defenses against him.
352%% ** Artemis has pulled two off so far.
353%% * YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: The TropeNamer pulls this attack on the crew a board the Nebula.
354* YouFool: Elysium has this reaction when she learns about Twilight's plan to stop Dark Sonic before Toko gets back, with Toko (seemingly) unaware of it.
355-->''A female voice boomed throughout Toko's head.''\
356'''''"FOOL! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!??"'''''
357* YouHaveFailedMe: The Mistress is not happy with JARVIS’s failure to capture Absol. However, it’s less because of the results, and more because the Mistress thought one of the methods he used was flawed. The Mistress ultimately averts the trope, deciding instead to upgrade JARVIS’s decision-making skills.

360[[folder:Campus Life Reboot]]
361* AbortedArc: The Ultra Beast plotline ended up being CutShort because of the person heading it deciding to dedicate themselves to writing their own original book series.
362* AlienInvasion: The campus ends up getting overrun with [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Nihilego]] thanks to [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Lilac messing around in hyper space]].
363* AlternateUniverse: The campus actually has a course on this, teaching about the finer points of dimensional travel and the rules and regulations regarding it. Several characters ended up going to it just because of how crazy it sounded, but a few characters such as Klonoa are there to gain a better grasp on their already pre-established dimension travelling abilities.
364* BigBlackout: One ends up happening to the campus and the nearby city thanks to [[spoiler: two Xurkitree]] feeding on the local powerplant.
365* ContinuityReboot: In an attempt to trim the KudzuPlot of the original into a more coherent plotline.
366* {{Deconstruction}}: So far, the reboot is playing things [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome realistically]] when compared to the previous one. For example, students are much more limited with what powers they can use, are forbidden from bringing weapons on campus with specific exceptions, and things like the campus riots from the previous RP are ''not'' EasilyForgiven, nor does the campus have HeroInsurance; the first two students to pull something like that end up getting ''arrested'' once they're subdued, and King Dedede lists off several classes and buildings that would have to be closed off for the rest of the year, as well as how many students would need to be refunded now because of it.
367* GetRichQuickScheme: Or, "Get even ''more'' rich quick" scheme. In any case, the reason [[Franchise/{{Kirby}} King Dedede]] ended up as the dean of the Campus resulted from this. Much to his annoyance, he quickly finds out he has to do ''actual work'' as a campus dean.
368* GoryDiscretionShot: It's implied that [[spoiler: a Xurkitree]] did ''something'' horrible to a local powerplant worker, but exactly ''what'' it did was left up to the imagination.
369* HatePlague: Joe, thanks to his biology, literally runs on stuff (Azoth) that creates an aura that causes people to hate him. He's attempting to become a human in order to rid himself of this problem.
370* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum: Unlike the old Campus, several characters have limits on what they're allowed to do on Campus without getting in trouble. Registered weapons are forbidden, and abusing one's powers can get them in serious trouble.
371%% * InterdimensionalTravelDevice: The Dimensional Studies class has one that's used purely for demonstration purposes.
372* PortalCrossroadWorld: Seems to be in effect for worlds that apparently are a part of the campus universe. Radaya mentions how several students have come from different dimensions to the Campus.
373* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: A greater part of the teachers on Campus are this. Not only are they willing to put their foot down when things get out of hand but aren't all relegated to being an AllPowerfulBystander when things start hitting the fan.
374* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Brought up by the [=RPer=]s and the reason the Ultra Beast serve as the first antagonistic force of the RP. It was generally agreed that it was best to start on the lower end of the villain scale first.
375* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
376** Comes into effect after Kasumi and Ayane have a fight that wrecks the math and science building and Dedede's office. King Dedede himself fully acknowledges having to cancel classes involved there, get the building repaired properly, and refund any and all students that wished to actually learn. And that's if Looker doesn't shut down all of Popstar University.
377** Fifi ends up learning that her toony actions from her old series will not be tolerated on Campus. Her attempt to hijack magic class alone nearly got her expelled. The only reason she wasn't is because the magic class teacher is [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura Sak]][[ReasonableAuthorityFigure ura]].
378* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: In more effect than the previous RP. Compared to how Pokémon were in the previous RP, essentially being humans by another species, Pokémon of this RP are much closer to the main series portrayal in comparison. Time will tell if this sticks, but a few users have expressed interest in drawing a clearer line between humans/furries when compared to Pokémon to prevent some shenanigans like in the previous RP.
