Line #14 Roleplay/KHRNuovaRP


1	''KHR Nuova RP'' is a friendly ([[PutOnABus most of the time]][[RocksFallEveryoneDies ...]]) roleplay on Fanfiction.net consisting mainly of new characters and families that are set apart from the series itself. The plot is considerably DarkerAndEdgier than the series it is based upon, what with the aversion of all BloodlessCarnage and a good number of characters KilledOffForReal, while basically becoming a {{Deconstruction}} of the ''Manga/Reborn2004'' series in general.
2	----
3	!!''KHR Nuova RP'' provides examples of:
4
5	%%* AccidentalPervert: Dante, quite often. Considered a ChivalrousPervert at times as well.
6	* ActionGirl: The entire important female cast is pretty much required to play this trope straight.
7	%%* AGodAmI: Zaren, in an oddly heroic situation.
8	* AloofBigBrother: Oh, Axel wishes... but it's tough, given that he's an Arcobaleno, only coming up to his sister's knee. Although, he pisses her off. A lot. (He is aloof and {{Bishounen}} without his curse, though. Hell, he uses bits of Snow Flames to give himself a BishieSparkle!)
9	%%* AnIcePerson: Nathair.
10	* AnimalMotifs
11	** [[PantheraAwesome Big]] [[CatsAreMean cats]] for Celia.
12	** [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent Snakes]] for Jasen, as well as Nathair.
13	** [[CunningLikeAFox Foxes]] for Akira.
14	** CreepyCrows for Reaper.
15	** [[NobleBirdOfPrey An eagle]] for the Dispetto leaders.
16	** [[KillerRabbit Bunnies]] for Lea/Leena.
17	%%* {{Antihero}}: Sogno in comparison to Vongola.
18	* ArtificialLimbs: Akira recieved a cybernetic arm after the grievous injuries given by Leo.
19	* ApatheticCitizens: Nobody in Namimori seems to ever notice the explosions, kidnappings, shootings, underground hideouts or any other Mafia activity. As it has been stated: "About thirty percent of people who live in Namimori have knowledge about the Mafia or are already a part of it."
20	* AxCrazy: [[GatlingGood Leonardo]] (by extension, [[ItRunsInTheFamily Ernesto]], too) and Macellaio. Occasionally Reaper and Saito as well
21	* BeneathTheMask: Jasen hides a very depressed and often angry nature under his [[StepfordSmiler constant grin.]] Lea's personality hides under the fake nature everyone normally sees.
22	* BeingGoodSucks: Being evil is no day at the beach either, though. Don't get into Mafia conflicts unless you want to lose something very dear to you. Most people who joined either [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor didn't know what the hell they were getting themselves into]] or had [[TheWoobie already lost everything dear to them.]]
23	* BerserkButton: NEVER [[KickTheDog hurt someone who can't defend themselves in front of Akira.]] Hurting a friend or guardian will result in even more grievous injuries.
24	** Hell, the Dispetto bosses practically have Berserk MINEFIELDS. You never know what the hell will flip them off!
25	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Pissing off Akira isn't the best idea, especially due to her destructiveness. Jasen is even worse... please don't disown the poor boy.
26	%%* BigBrotherInstinct: Dante towards Akira.
27	%%* BigBrotherIsWatching
28	* BigDamnHeroes: Alexi gets a big mention for his HeroicSacrifice to save the current timeline. Aminore also gets one during the Dispetto battle. Ernesto is the one to jump in the way of one of Leonardo's killing techniques.
29	* BigScrewedUpFamily: All of the introduced ones in the story. But ESPECIALLY the Gaals.
30	* BilingualDialogue: Most of the characters are speaking Japanese. In some cases, it's also Italian, and the two nationalities tend to speak to each other in their respective languages.
31	* BlackAndGrayMorality: "There is no 'good' here. There's not even 'sane' or 'insane'. There's just 'neutral', 'evil' and everything in between."
32	* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Zira's weapon of choice. Akira can wield this as well, but prefers her bow. Less messy.
33	* TheBlank: Macellaio has a featureless face and speaks through telepathy. [[SpaceWhaleAesop Well, that's what you get for]] murdering thousands of civilians and wrecking a bunch of perfectly good Mafia families and then becoming immortal.
34	* BloodKnight: The usually kindhearted Hanzo is becoming one. This guy likes swordplay a bit too much...
35	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: The Gaals.
36	* BookDumb: Played straight with Jasen. Inverted by Akira, being very cultured and mentally gifted, but her battle plans and common sense are lackluster.
37	* BreakTheCutie: Many of the most likeable characters go through severe physical and emotional pain to make them either more evil or more good.
38	* ButtMonkey: Akira, in a rare female example. [[BadassAdorable She]] [[CuteBruiser grows]] [[CuteButPsycho out]] [[WiseBeyondTheirYears of]] [[LittleMissBadass it]].
39	%%* CastingAShadow: Reaper's main use of his Cloud Flames.
40	* CerebusSyndrome: One week, everything's lighthearted and funny, and the heroes are nigh invunerable. The next? The comic relief were killed by the antagonists. [[SarcasmMode Smiley face.]]
41	%%* ChaoticNeutral: The Gaals, basically.
42	* ChekhovsGun: Dante's transformation skills and Black Rose Garden technique. [[MagikarpPower Jasen's Box Weapon.]] Machiavel's creations always seem to get features that help out a lot later in the storyline.
43	%%* ChekhovsGunman: ALEXI.
44	%%* TheChessmaster: Reaper, Alexi, and Akira in her more profound moments.
45	* ColorCodedEyes: Akira's most outstanding trait besides her scars is her gray eyes. Noticeable that she fits a serious, resolute, {{Determinator}} sort of personality and that she is the only gray-eyed character aside from the Dispetto bosses, where the color is nearly white and is also hereditary.
46	%%* CombatPragmatist: Dante.
47	* CoolTeacher: Hanzo has to be one hell of an awesome student teacher. Being the Storm guardian only makes him that much cooler.
48	%%* CuteBruiser: Akira, Allegra, Koizumi, Isabella and Celia. Heck, we just named pretty much the whole main female cast.
49	%%* CuteButPsycho: AKIRA. In all likelihood, she's suffering from severe schizophrenia, among other things.
50	%%* CuteButTroubled: Ernesto. That guy has been [[AbusiveParents through]] [[DeusAngstMachina hell]].
51	%%* DarkerAndEdgier: Moreso than the original ''Manga/Reborn2004'', anyway.
52	* DarkIsNotEvil: Reaper and Dante, while both beginning as rather nasty mafia members, end up on Sogno's side. And who could forget Macellaio?
53	** LightIsNotGood: Ciro. (Well, until you find out that he was being tricked and what his real motives were.)
54	* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: MULTIPLE CHARACTERS. Reaper/Silvia, Hanzo, Zira, Zane, Zaid, Kaito, Celosia, Al, Macellaio, Umi, Claudandus, Dracu, Shuzi, Tatsujin, Ciaran, Pepamun, Sutai, Senna/Segna, Salazar and Arata. This isn't counting half-orphans, unknown parental locations, not sure if parents are dead, etc.
55	* DefeatMeansFriendship: For Macellaio, showing that you're worthy of trust means friendship. For Dispetto, the trope is played straight. For Dante, defeat means becoming TrueCompanions with your adversary.
56	* DysfunctionJunction: The Mafia leaves nobody unharmed... all of the major fighting characters have either been horrible people or had terrible things happen to them at one point. It can be agreed that 75% of the main cast probably has some form of PTSD, after what they've been through. Let's recap:
57	** Axel was a once-happy soul, but lost most of his cheer and optimism after becoming an Arcobaleno and is constantly paranoid about his beloved sister dying or getting into danger.
58	** Akira suffers from a number of mental disorders that constantly keep her on edge, has lost a limb very painfully, her parents have left her on her own and a bunch of her newfound friends have died because of her mistakes. And she accepted her position as Sogno Primo long ago. (Probably a TakeThat to Tsuna's reluctancy.)
59	** Hanzo lost his only living relatives, his grandparents, to S.I.N., and was tortured by Akira and Macellaio after learning about the Mafia.
60	** Jasen lost both his parents and then his beloved caretaker, being left with Sogno. His Rain Flames are weak and energy-draining, and to cap it all off he is the lowest of the low among Sogno.
61	** Dante, once a MasterOfIllusion renegade fighter and the resident PsychoForHire, he now suffers terrible guilt from nearly killing Akira, who became his best friend soon afterwards. An Omake scene features him snapping fifteen years in the future and torturing and killing Akira quite messily.
62	** ALL OF DISPETTO. They go through torturous training at a disturbingly young age, giving each a very creepy and eccentric personality trait. (Ex- Ernesto isn't just TheStoic, he doesn't understand the point of words or emotions because his thoughts have become too complex to express through them, locking him inside his own mind. J becomes a regular TheStoic, but physically unable to express feelings, no matter how deep. Arthur, contrastingly, must express EVERY thought he has, whether he means it or not. As a result, he never stops talking or thinking, and thus never sleeps.)
63	* EnsembleDarkHorse: Dante and Reaper are well-liked throughout the roleplay. Ernesto, Hanzo and Jasen also have quite a few fans. And considering all the fanart of Celia, we can assume that she has fans.
64	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Leonardo loves his family very much... subverted in that he's not EVIL per say... just a wee bit on the AxCrazy side and has a whole keyboard of [[BerserkButton berserk buttons]] that are easy to accidentally press.
65	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Reaper. His real name is Nero.
66	* EyeScream: Poor Dante once stabbed himself in the eye to stop his illusionary abilities from causing a bodily meltdown. It's a wonder he isn't blind.
67	* {{Expy}}: Reaper is at least partially based on Sebastian of ''Manga/BlackButler'', as we can safely assume.
68	** HilariousInHindsight: Akira was originally a slight {{Expy}} of Tsuna, and look where she's at now.
69	%%* FaceHeelRevolvingDoor: Nero/Reaper.
70	%%* FaceHeelTurn: Macellaio and all of Dispetto.
71	* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: PluckyComicRelief characters Tyranno, Aunty and Al were burned to death. [[WhatCouldHaveBeen If only Akira was just a tiny bit faster...]]
72	* TheFettered: Akira often flip-flops on this during her inner struggle of ToBeLawfulOrGood.
73	* FireForgedFriends: Most of Sogno and their allies.
74	* ForcedTransformation: It's implied Axel became an Arcobaleno against his will.
75	* FreudianExcuse: Dispetto leaders do not take the hurting or mistreating of their spouses lightly. And when a couple of drunk Vongola members [[BerserkButton accidentally killed Leo's wife]]... all hell broke loose.
76	* GenerationXerox: Deconstructed with the Dispetto bosses.
77	%%* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Ciro.
78	* GlamourFailure: Akira's bangs tend to cover her [[ScarsAreForever scarred eye]], and she nearly always wears long sleeves and gloves to hide her [[ArtificialLimbs metal arm.]] Though, people tend to find out if she is splashed with water, causing the arm to malfunction, or by her oddly cold touch. She tends to show her deep scar to intimidate foes and subordinates.
79	* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Reaper. Under that hood, all you can usually see of his face are those green, shining, catlike eyes.
80	%%* GoodIsNotNice: Constantly played around with by Sogno.
81	* GreyAndGrayMorality: In contrast to the characters' thoughts, all sides are usually justified in one sense or another.
82	* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Sun Flames get a lot of love here.
83	* HeroicBSOD: The death of [[TagalongKid Al]] and Tyranno made Akira FreakOut so bad that it caused the development of Akira's SplitPersonality.
84	* HolierThanThou: Zaren has a god complex. Makes sense, since he DID rise to a higher plane of existence. And sadly, Akira constantly tries to defend her more questionable actions as being 'just'.
85	* IAmNotWeasel: The Box Animals which have been gifted to speak hate being called just 'Box Weapon' and they especially hate being called by their species name. They would much rather be given a new name by the person who controls them.
86	* IcyBlueEyes: Jasen's are rather striking. While easily mistaken for a soft, ocean color, he would rather imagine them as somewhat icy. If that clues you in to his personality.
87	* ImprobableAge: Ah, another two teenage Mafia leaders... but this is, as with everything in Nuova, a {{Deconstruction}}.
88	* JumpedAtTheCall: Akira. But this side of her was soon put out after two friends were killed due to her hasty attitude.
89	%%* KatanasAreJustBetter: Hanzo.
90	%%* KidHero: Akira... and some of the other younger characters, take Jasen for example.
91	%%* KnightTemplar: Sogno as a whole has basically become this.
92	%%* LightEmUp: Seems to be the base of Akira's strength, along with SoulPower and PlayingWithFire.
93	* LotusEaterMachine: Passion finds it quite entertaining to create illusions that fufill one's greatest, most heartfelt desire... and then tear it to pieces.
94	* LoveMakesYouCrazy / LoveMakesYouEvil: In Leonardo's case. Hopefully nothing [[TemptingFate bad]] will happen to Akira in the future, or [[CutebutTroubled Ernesto]] may turn out the same way as his father.
95	* MagikarpPower: Jasen's puny seahorse Box Weapon transforms into a giant serpentine creature when its owner is in grave danger.
96	* MakingASplash: Jasen. Combined with his snake-related symbolism, this sets him up as the [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic unaccepted Zodiac sign Ophiuchus]]
97	%%* MeaningfulName: Well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Reaper.]]
98	** Ernesto's name means "serious" or "unwavering". [[FridgeBrilliance Now, what sort of personality does he have?]]
99	** "Akira" means [[LightIsGood "shining"]]
100	%%* TheMole: Dispetto's younger generation.
101	%%* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Played purposefully with Jasen.
102	%%** Sam, majorly.
103	* MyGreatestFailure: Akira's opinion of her not getting to S.I.N. in time to save Al and Tyranno.
104	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: MACELLAIO. I doubt you want a run-in with anybody whose name means "The Butcher".
105	* NeverSayDie: Averted. Mentioning death and pain is basically Akira's BerserkButton.
106	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: TYL Akira accidentally killed her previous student, Baisu, while trying to defuse a bomb. Baisu would have died even if Akira hadn't broken her spine, though.
107	* TheNothingAfterDeath: It's revealed that the afterlife is dark, cold, empty, desolate, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking boring]].
108	** CAN be. It has a certain karma system and special tests that decide the plane of existence you are upon.
109	* OmnicidalManiac: Origin is willing to wipe clean entire timelines with little to no regret.
110	%%* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Are they ever.
111	* PetTheDog: Ernesto deciding Akira isn't guilty and protecting her during the battle with Leonardo.
112	** After the battle, Leo calms down and acts rather kindly to Sogno's main team. He wasn't evil, someone had just dropped a 100-ton weight on his BerserkButton.
113	%%* Poisonous Friend: Dante, most certainly, to Akira. SSOU as a whole function for a similar purpose.
114	* Really700YearsOld: Macellaio. And, in an inhuman form, Sogno. It was a mercenary gang that was put down by Macellaio and ressurected as a Mafia family over a hundred years later.
115	%%* RedEyesTakeWarning: Dante when using the [[HellishPupils Six Paths.]]
116	%%* SelfMadeOrphan: Reaper.
117	%%* {{Shinigami}}: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Reaper]]. Well, [[HalfHumanHybrid sort of...]]
118	%%* ShockAndAwe: Allegra
119	* ShrinkingViolet: A male example with Jasen. What Akira was [[UnreliableNarrator like]] before Axel showed up.
120	* SingleTargetSexuality: The Dispetto bosses. Ernesto loves Akira, and ONLY Akira. No other women can get his attention.
121	* SlasherSmile: The evil side of Akira's SplitPersonality. Reaper and Zira occasionally sport one as well.
122	* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Nuova ends up everywhere along the scales, and it goes from ideal to cynical and then back to ideal all the time.
123	%%* SoulPower: Macellaio, Reaper and most recently, Akira.
124	* StepfordSmiler: Jasen, in spades. He has very violent, unpleasant and depressed thoughts, but he hides it due to his empathy for others.
125	** Inverted by Ernesto. He can feel happy, but doesn't understand the point of expressing emotion.
126	* TheStoic: All of Dispetto, mostly to hide their eccentric, troubled and AxCrazy sides of their persona. Ernesto has been under TheMasquerade for so long that he doesn't care about words or emotions much anymore.
127	* StuffBlowingUp: Many flame users can create quick, explosion-like bursts. Akira, Macellaio, Hanzo and Axel have all been shown doing this. Earth flame user Leonardo likes using the even more deadly implosions, instead.
128	* SuperPoweredEvilSide: Akira developed a very violent SplitPersonality that uses Sky Flames far more effectively than she normally could. Nowadays, this snapped side is more under control by 'Good' Akira, but still tends to lash out under severe emotional pressure.
129	%%* TriggerHappy: Axel and Ernesto.
130	* VagueAge: Zaren can change into a younger form, hiding the fact that he is growing rather old. Stacey is eternally a young girl. We THINK Macellaio's been alive since around the 18th century. Axel is an Arcobaleno, but his age seems to be in the 16-18 range if we guess correctly.
131	%%* WeakButSkilled: Jasen and Akira.
132	* WellDoneSonGuy: Akira's parents stop interacting with her after they find out her Mafia position.
133	* WhatTheHellHero: Akira has been noted to dislike killing and injuring others. For a pacifist, she has a rather worrying mental state, causing her to be callous and cruel to friends as well as enemies. Her judgement is... questionable at times.
134	* YankTheDogsChain: [[HopeSpot Just when things finally start to get better]], you can be sure that something terrible will happen.
