Line #1 Roleplay/TheLastFreeCity


1	[[http://last-free-city.dreamwidth.org/profile Here]]. A [[JournalRoleplay Dreamwidth Roleplay]] loosely based off VideoGame/AsurasWrath. Characters are summoned to the city of [[Myth/NorseMythology Midgard]] by Valkyries in the service of Thor and [[Myth/GreekMythology Hephaestus]]. Why? Well, Midgard is home to the Bifrost, a portal that allows for interdimensional travel, and if either the [[TheFairFolk Fae]] or the [[UsefulNotes/DynastiesFromShangToQing Qin]] get a hold of it, they could use it to raid other worlds for resources. So the characters aren't just protecting [[TitleDrop the last free city]] for humanity, they're also protecting their own worlds -- and receiving rewards (valuables, weapons, cybernetics) for their deeds.
2	----
3	!!This game provides examples of:
4	* AllMythsAreTrue: Mythological figures from pantheons across the world -- from [[Myth/NorseMythology Thor]] to [[Myth/GreekMythology Hephaestus]] to [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest the Monkey King]] -- exist here.
5	* AppliedPhlebotinum: The [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest Monkey King]] uses this for his events.
6	* BigBadassBattleSequence: The game ''opened'' with one of these. [[WordOfGod The inspiration for this]] came from ''Film/SavingPrivateRyan''.
7	* CrapsackWorld: The world is divided between two powers who hate each other. Both sides treat humans as inferior species. The only haven for humans in the world is regularly under attack because both powers want the Bifrost, and humanity must look to other worlds for its protectors.
8	* ElaborateUndergroundBase: The Deeps district. Due to the constant threat of siege (and actual sieges), Midgard built downward, and so an entire district of the city exists beneath the ground.
9	* TheFairFolk: The Fae.
10	* FantasyCounterpartCulture: The Qin to ancient China...[[RecycledInSpace with a lunar capital]].
11	* HumongousMecha: Not only can they be found in Qin armies and in Midgard's defenses, characters from mecha series may bring their mecha with them. Current mecha series include:
12	** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00''
13	** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE''
14	** ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration''
15	** ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''
16	** ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}''
17	* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: When [[Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya Ilya]] tried to wrap a present for [[Literature/FateZero Kiritsugu]] (a gun) it went off a few times. Luckily, [[VideoGame/FateExtra Gawain]] is a Servant, and thus is ImmuneToBullets.
18	* ItAmusedMe: Why the [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest Monkey King]] does what he does.
19	* KilledOffForReal: Unlike most [=RPs=], death here is permanent. Luckily, medical technology here is so advanced that almost no injuries are fatal.
20	* MagicalGirl: Quite a few, from the following series:
21	** ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya''
22	** ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaViVid''
23	** ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''
24	* MegaCity: Midgard.
25	* MonkeyKingLite: The [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest Monkey King]].
26	* {{Nanomachines}}: A common method of artificially enhancing a character's abilities.
27	* NonPlayerCharacter: [[Myth/NorseMythology Thor]], [[Myth/GreekMythology Hephaestus]], and the [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest Monkey King]].
28	* OntologicalMystery: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. The characters know why they're there, who brought them there, and what they have to do to leave.
29	* OriginalGeneration: The game accepts original characters.
30	* PostCyberPunk
31	* RousingSpeech: [[Myth/NorseMythology Thor]] opened the game with one of these, complete with a TitleDrop.
32	* RunningGag:
33	** [[VideoGame/FateExtra Gawain]] is not Myth/KingArthur.
34	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE Woolf]] neither has nor wants an office.
35	* ShiningCity: The Palace district. This is the wealthiest and most extravagant district in the city, and it's where [[Myth/NorseMythology Thor]] lives.
36	* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Though the characters knew this going in. Canon updates are still possible, however.
37	* UrbanSegregation: Midgard is divided into six districts: The Docks, the Foundry, the Grand Library, the [[WrongSideOfTheTracks Wards]], the [[ElaborateUndergroundBase Deeps]], and the [[ShiningCity Palace]] districts. Each district has a villa for PlayerCharacters to live in, each villa possessing its own unique characteristics.
38	* WeCanRebuildHim: Characters can receive upgrades to their abilities through the available technology. Sometimes this happens in order to save someone from death, but it can also be a reward.
39	* WorldOfBadass
