6	!Air Pirates, ran by Tacky
7
8	!!Premise
9	As explained by Tacky himself, Air Pirates is an {{Exalted}} game about trying to steal a powerful ship from the very hands of the Dynasts. Then? Adventure, plunder, booty, character development! It can be found [[http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=167817 here.]]
10
11	However, so far, our ... [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits heroes]] have just met, talked to one another, been led to a manse with EXPLODING BIRDS, met with an Abyssal who asked them to get his tortured Lunar Mate back and boarded a CoolShip. The team was split in two (Edhal and Trian on the ship, Bells, Espinova and Silveria on the ground) in order to find the Chimera.
12
13	The Air Team found and fought the Chimera, and almost lost... before Edhal [[SlapSlapKiss kissed the Chimera on the mouth,]]which made her fade away. Somehow. As they went to sleep that day, Trian was visited by the Fair Folk who stole her voice in her dreams, and told that [[TheReveal Espinova is a Fair Folk,]] and that he would give Trian her voice back if she was taken to him. [[DealWithTheDevil Trian agreed.]] Meanwhile, Edhal was "kidnapped" by the Chimera, swore an oath to protect her and keep her safe, and then... [[AbductionIsLove had sex with her.]]
14
15	The Ground Team found [[TheWoobie Dalla]], a mortal girl who witnessed the [[ChunkySalsaRule gory]] murder of her parents at the hands of the Chimera. The group took her with them, and were then arrested by some Delzahn guys, and taken to their leader, who turned out to be Ulito Swan. They had a discussion, and then : Silveria [[GirlOnGirlIsHot had sex with her]] and promised to [[TemptingFate help her]], Bells found a girl, Ania, slept with her and [[FourthDateMarriage married her at her request,]] and Espinova... [[FantasticRacism slept alone.]]
16
17	Then, both groups reunited and are now on their way to Chiaroscuro again. [[PlotWithPorn Perhaps after all this sex,]] [[RandomEventsPlot they will, maybe, steal the damned ship.]]
18
19	!!General Tropes
20	Those tropes apply to the game in general, not to a character in particular.
21
22	* BadAss : Every single one of the members of the party. It's {{Exalted}}, what did you expect?
23	* [[EveryoneIsBi Some People Are Bi]] : Silveria is bisexual, [[DiscussedTrope Edhal is bisexual]], and, as a Fair Folk, maybe Espinova is too. The rest are straight... [[SuddenlySexuality for now.]]
24	* NeverSplitTheParty : Splitting the party to fight off a Chimera might not have been the best of ideas...
25	** Tacky : "You know that... [[LampshadeHanging don't split the party?]] This applies! Especially when I balance out the encounters for the entire party."
26	* FiveManBand :
27	** TheHero : Edhal.
28	** TheLancer : Trian.
29	** TheBigGuy : Blazing Bells.
30	** TheSmartGuy : Espinova.
31	** TheChick : Silveria.
32	* NamedWeapons : Standard in Exalted. Edhal has Cloudfall, Trian has got the Crimson Bow, Blazing Bells the Sea Master, Silveria the Silver Arc, and Espinova [[strike: the Typhon Wheel]] [[FluffyTheTerrible Giggles.]]
33	* RagtagBunchOfMisfits : Seriously. Just read the descriptions below.
34	* TalkLikeAPirate : [[SubvertedTrope Subverted:]] While they are technically Air Pirates, only Bells and Edhal are real pirates; neither of them speak like them, though Blazing Bells sometimes [[OohMeAccentsSlipping slips.]]
35
36
37	!!Character Tropes
38	!!Edhal Gavand
39	Edhal Gavand, Solar Eclipse played by Lucus Casius, is the captain of the ship called the Stormwind, which is a huge, Resources 4 airship. He is a pirate, and his Motivation is to create a fleet to attack the Realm.
40
41	* AFatherToHisMen : As explained in his personality.
42	* TheCaptain : In addition to being {{The Hero}}.
43	* CoolShip : The Stormwind.
44	* GentlemanAdventurer : [[MemeticMutation Edhal Gavand, GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER!]]
45	* LoverNotAFighter : Edhal defeats the Chimera by kissing her. Later, he [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming gives her a hug...]][[LoveHurts and takes a level of lethal damage because she was covered in acid.]]
46	* OnlySaneMan : Perhaps "Only Not Crazy Person" would be more appropriate.
47	* {{Pirate}} : Type 2.
48	* SkyPirate : [[ThatGuyWithTheGlasses OF COURSE!]]
49
50	!!Trian, aka "Hush"
51	Trian/Hush, Solar Zenith played by Reynard, is a very proficient archer and used to be an excellent singer... before a [[TheFairFolk Fair Folk]] stole her voice, that is. Her Motivation is to get it back at any cost, in order to spread the word of the Unconquered Sun further.
52	* ActionGirl : [[MemeticBadass She will sniper shot you from a thousand miles away and not give a damn.]]
53	* ButNowIMustGo : In her backstory.
54	* CuteMute : It is strongly advised, however, that you do not [[BerserkButton call her that.]]
55	* DealWithTheDevil : Trian made a deal with the Fair Folk that stole her voice : she can get it back, and in exchange, she gives him Espinova.
56	* ImprobableAimingSkills : She has a 3-dot specialty in Precise Shots, and she's already Archery 5. Specific example : shooting through the rings on Bells' sword, [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome while having -4 successes because she was showing off, nailing Bells and the sword on a tree behind.]] Even Bells thought it was pretty cool.
57	* PowerGivesYouWings : Literally; her Totemic Anima level gives her a set of huge wings.
58	* {{Tomboy}} : [[YourMileageMayVary Up to a certain extent,]] but she shows some of the traits.
59	* TrickArrow / TheArcher : It's Archery in Exalted, what did you expect?
60	* TwangHello : Done on Bells, but it's probably not the last time.
61	* TheVoiceless : As mentionned, a Fair Folk stole her voice. [[UnderStatement She is not happy about that.]]
62
63	!!Blazing Bells
64	Blazing Bells, Fire Aspect Outcaste played by SkyBoundFencer, is a [[UnderStatement crazy]] pirate who goes around not giving a damn about anything, being generally outright unpleasant, [[RunningJoke crazy]] and/or doing something stupid. His motivation is to make it so all Outcastes get a treatment equal to the Dynasts. [[UnderStatement Really hates Dynasts.]]
65	* AntiHero : Bells is not a good guy. At all. And yet, he's not really evil either.
66	* [[HeroicBSOD Anti-Heroic BSOD]] : After finding out that the party is made of Celestial Exalted, which are far more powerful than Dragon-Blooded... normally. [[IGotBetter He gets better.]]
67	* AxCrazy : Not quite, but just you wait till he [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Limit Breaks.]]
68	* BerserkButton : Do not, I repeat, DO NOT [[TooDumbToLive call him a Dynast to his face.]]
69	* {{BFS}} : Perhaps it's even a [[CompensatingForSomething little too big...]]
70	* ButtMonkey : Well, he is the butt of every joke OOC, at least. It manifests a little less IG, but is still present.
71	* ClothingDamage : Bells has received it twice in the course of 11 pages; once from being attacked by a Spell, once because Trian ripped the pants off him. [[NotWhatItLooksLike ...To get a better look at his wounds, of course!]]
72	* {{Expy}} : Of Gan Ning from DynastyWarriors. Only [[UpToEleven taken up to eleven]].
73	* {{Hello}}, [[MyNameIsInigoMontoya my name is Blazing Bells]], [[YouKilledMyFather you killed my parents]], PrepareToDie.
74	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold / JerkassFacade : Bells is not as evil as he thinks he is. But don't tell him that.
75	* LargeHam : "I AM A FIRE ASPECT OUTCASTE! THIS GIVES ME THE RIGHT TO BE A LARGE HAM ALL THE TIME!!!"
76	* MoodSwinger : [[UnderStatement Oh yeah.]]
77	* {{Pirate}} : Type 1, [[YourMileageMayVary to a certain extent:]] he's only [[EvenEvilHasStandards partially evil.]] He wouldn't hurt a child, for instance.
78	* RapePillageAndBurn : In his backstory.
79	* WellIntentionedExtremist : Trying to get all Outcaste Dragon-Blooded to be treated better? Wow, how generous of him! Too bad he tries to do so by killing every Dynast he comes across.
80
81	!!Espinova, the Pearl Naysmith
82	Espinova, Diplomatic Heroic Commoner played by Ganurath, is a [[TheFairFolk Fair Folk]] in disguise. As such, she is prone to [[BreakTheFourthWall breaking the fourth wall]] and/or being GenreSavvy. Her Motivation is to exemplify the lifestyle of the Laughing Monster.
83
84	* BreakTheFourthWall / FourthWallObserver
85	* CuteMonsterGirl and {{Moe}}, the latter admitted by Ganurath himself.
86	* ExoticWeaponSupremacy / FuumaShuriken : Espinova wields a wheel made of miniature daiklaives. And she's really good at it.
87	* TheFairFolk , but, [[InvertedTrope surprisingly]], of the non-evil variety.
88	* GenreSavvy
89	* HornyDevils : While not a succubus, Espinova uses Banquet of Crumbs, which allows her to regain Essence from ambient emotions. [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean Now think about what would be the best way to generate intense emotions.]] The possibility has only been discussed so far, however.
90	* OhCrap : After being told that they were about to meet somebody who "knew what everyone was" : "[...]Espinova did nothing on the outside. Inside, she heartily panicked."
91	* TheReveal : Ulimo Swan directly reveals that she is a Fair Folk. [[TheUnreveal Silveria already guessed,]] and Bells didn't care much. Espinova herself then [[HilarityEnsues reveals her identity to Trian and Edhal.]]
92	* {{Troll}} : Part of the package of the Fair Folk. Specifically, she screws with the minds of a random guard and Trian.
93
94	!!Silveria Arc (formerly Cathak Mina)
95	Silveria Arc, Lunar Changing Moon played by Myllinnia, is a sexy, southern Lunar with a mischevious attitude. She serves as the Social Combat character for this game, but also (somewhat) as a TeamMom. As a Lunar, she gets AnimalMotifs (her Tell is "the sound of scales rubbing against the ground as she walks, the feel of scales when touching/brushing against her bare skin") and VoluntaryShapeshifting by default. Her Motivation to take and rule the Realm, because she thinks it'll do better than a few 1000 River Streams Project.
96
97
98	* HotChickWithASword : [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin She's hot, and she fights with a sword.]]
99	* MissFanservice : It's not all that she does, but...she walks around with a bra, a skirt, and a sword. Nothing else. Also, she's bisexual.
100	* ParentalSubstitute : To Dalla. This leads to a good quantity of [[CrowningMomentOfHeartWarming heart-warming moments.]]
101	* RousingSpeech of the DareToBeBadass variety : She used one on Bells so he would stop moping. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome It worked.]]
102	* SmugSnake : You'd think she would be, what with her having a Black Giant Anaconda as a Spirit Shape, right? [[SubvertedTrope WRONG. ]]She's actually really nice and is expressively described as being "not cruel and mean."
103	* SunnySunflowerDisposition : She's the cheeriest character in the party, by far.
104	* TeamMom : She has managed to motivate [[MoodSwinger Blazing Bells]] not once, but twice, and generally acts like this.
105	** Not to mention one of her goals seem to be trying to have [[GentlemanAdventurer Edhal]] and [[TsunDere Trian]] make up with one another. [[BeyondTheImpossible Good luck.]]
106	* ThisIsUnforgivable : "This... is unforgivable of you. Seriously unforgivable. You honestly do not at all know who you are dealing with and you.... have made [[TheWoobie her]] [[MamaBear cry.]]" However, [[MissedMomentOfAwesome this does not lead to an epic asskicking.]]

110	[[folder: Light of Divinity]]
111	!Light of Divinity, run by DrakeRaids
112
113	!!Premise
114
115	Light of Divinity is a newbie {{Exalted}} game. The characters are given a map by a strange, old crone, and being told that "the power they seek" was awaiting there. And so, the intrepid heroes find themselves entering the ruins of a broken Manse...
116	It may be found [[http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=167699 here.]]
117
118	!!General Tropes

120	* BattleCouple : Esen and Mina, Flash and Stalks.

123	* StarCrossedLovers : '''Esen and Mina.''' Damn it, Drake.

125
126	!!Character Tropes

128	Esen, Solar Zenith played by Lucus Casius, was a priest of Anora until he Exalted and was promptly abandonned by her. He now seeks to find a greater use for his Exaltation and basically serves as a wandering priest. He is bonded to Mina. His Motivation is halt and prevent all unnecessary conflict taking place in Creation.
129
130	* AllergicToLove : [[JustifiedTrope I guess that attitude would be expected when all your ex-girlfriends (metaphorically) backstabbed you when they didn't need you anymore...]] Good thing Mina is here to fix him.
131	* BadassPreacher / HeartbrokenBadass : [[DukeNukem He's gonna kick ass and hug Mina, and Mina isn't here right now.]]
132	* KnightInSourArmor : Pretty much personified.
133	* LoveAtFirstNote : The first hint we get that Esen might be feeling love for Mina was when she started singing for him.
134	* LoveMakesYouCrazy : It has been discussed that Esen is likely to switch to full-on KnightTemplar mode if Mina was ever to betray him. [[OhCrap This is not facilitated by the fact that there are at least TWO PEOPLE in the group who hit on Mina constantly...]]
135	* ReincarnationRomance : With Mina.
136	* TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest, and it's up to Mina to fix him.
137	* TroubledButCute : He's Appearance 5 but he has some... issues.

144
145	!!Bloody Rowan
146	Bloody Rowan, Solar Dawn played by Ringwyrm. Her Motivation is to build a nation where Wyld Mutants may live free.
147	* YouGottaHaveBlueHair
148
149	!!Mina, the Lovely Songbird (formerly Cathak Mina)
150	Cathak Mina (nicknamed "The Lovely Songbird"), Changing Moon Lunar played by SkyBoundFencer, is a happy-go-lucky girl who travels around the world, using her skill with singing in order to make people's lives better. She is mated to Esen. Her Motivation is to unite all of the people of Creation under one banner.
151
152	* BreakTheCutie : In her backstory, where she's put through hell because she cannot hold up to her parents' standards and then exiled from her home after being purposefully sent out to lead an army in a battle she could not possibly win. However, Mina simply refuses to break, no matter what, which makes her into...
153	** ThePollyanna
154	!!Vesri, the Second Chance
155	!! Invisible Flash of Gold
156	* ChivalrousPervert : This is Flash's defining character trait, though he shows the "Pervert" side more often, to the dismay of Esen, Mina and Vesri.
157	* MomentKiller : He interrupts Mina and Esen in the middle of their first kiss, then prompty proceeds to hit on Mina.
158
