Line #72 YMMV/WeAreOurAvatars


1	As with many Online Roleplays, the reactions of the Roleplayers in this RP differ sometimes, so take these with a grain of salt.
2	-----
3	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Many roleplayers use this thread as a way to experiment with giving their characters different personalities. For example, a variation of Metal Sonic has him go from acting as a KnightOfCerebus to acting like a [[AIIsACrapshoot random freak of science]] who can't seem to [[BigShutUp shut the FUCK UP]]!!!!\
4	... Which leads to much robo-abuse.\
5	Several characters who began almost completely faithful to canon have {{cha\|racterDevelopment}}nged and in many cases even gained new powers due to their interactions with other character.
6	* {{Anvilicious}}: While some viewpoints of homosexuality from Tropers/CapedLuigisYoshi can come off as such, his Rockurtle's Nightmare mini-arc badly suffered from this trope.
7	* ArcFatigue - The Incarnates Arc dragged on for quite a bit; before that, the Hell Arc dragged on for quite a while before ending.
8	* ArchivePanic - Averted. Several new participants have expressed concern over having to read the 20,000+ page long conversation to fit in, but it is in no way necessary.
9	* AudienceAlienatingEra: The Incarnates Arc gets ''a lot'' of flack. Despite how morally Grey it ''tried'' to be, it ended up being one of the arcs with the most BlackAndWhiteMorality. In addition, the characters were handed an IdiotBall a few times, and the [[ScheduleSlip schedule problems]] became frustrating.
10	* BadassDecay: Hydronix, who only got worse since he evolved. The Graysons, Carter/Catherine moreso. Started out as a badass, then degenerated into, for the most part, a whiner, a far cry from his/her source material.
11	** Hakumen also suffered BadassDecay as he lost his KnightTemplar traits and his aggressive "with-me-or-against-me" mentality. He even ended up crying once! This might be justified, though, as he [[BecomingTheMask went from pretending to be sociable]] [[TookALevelInKindness to really being sociable]], and actually has friends and people who care about him in this world.
12	** Subverted with Caim. He's still every bit as AxCrazy as he was before meeting with the Group except that he now turns it on the Group's enemies, and so far avoids TheWorfEffect ([[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu even taking out a god--]][[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome albeit off-screen]]). When not in a fight, he's more of an insensitive {{Jerkass}}.
13	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Sometimes these happen.
14	** The random appearances of Genghis Khan just before the thread was moved to RP.
15	** Earlier, the Anti-Spiral appeared and forced the cast to do the JustForFun/{{Caramelldansen\|Vid}}.
16	** A [[Webcomic/ProblemSleuth Death]], Tails, Osaka, Franchise/MegaMan and two different Tenshi Hinanai play a game of Battleship, which Death turns into one awesome game, Tails even lampshades the trope.
17	** WebAnimation/SaladFingers randomly appears and develops an unhealthy obsession with Franchise/MegaMan's Buster.
18	** Mammon's literal blowing up of [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Deathwing's]] shit. The less said of that, the better.
19	* BizarroEpisode: The GenreShift Arc.
20	* CanonDefilement: Many characters have gone off of their source, and not always in a good way.
21	* CharacterRerailment: At times, players will notice mistakes, and attempt to fix it.
22	* CrazyIsCool: Katsuun's version of [[Literature/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas The Grinch]], after learning the true meaning of Christmas. One example? He wields a freaking {{katana\|sAreJustBetter}} into battle against those who wish to harm Christmas.
23	* CreatorsPet: Depending on your opinion, the Grayson family. Although players admit they're somewhat decent.
24	** As an inverted/averted example, though, Victoria in particular was this ''to her own player'' for a time. Other players found her decent or interesting. Said player eventually regretted ever throwing away any possible (and positive!) characterization due to her hating the character so much.
25	** Another inverted example is Andros. Some players loved his jerkass attitude, [[WriterOnBoard The]] [[NeverLiveItDown Rant]] notwithstanding. The player herself loathed him, especially his canon attitude, to the point where she [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation saw him]] as a whiny, self-centered jerkass--exactly the kind of characterization she was mostly going for.
26	** This was Midna's opinion of 3Dee (semi-clone of Dee) and Anne (giantess introduced to throw Sapph a bone at first, due to not getting Mana, [[DivergentCharacterEvolution before becoming her own character]]). [[AvertedTrope Nobody agreed with these statements.]]
27	** Deanna became this when her pet cat shilled her as being a goddess and how amazing she is.
28	* CrossesTheLineTwice: Estella Fury. [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=i9k31ypluou9s5j9d2w7n23k&page=14579#364457 Her descriptions are grotesque but cross into funny.]]
29	* DiscreditedTrope: Arcs involving Multiversal takeovers, conquerors, or [[ExcusePlot plots that are just fighting an enemy]] are mocked and rarely used anymore, the plot type having grown stale either after the Incarnates Arc or even before that.
30	* FanNickname:
31	** "Raven" refers to Yuki as Mini-Metis because of her costume.
32	** The Multiverse has several, one of which is "Whateververse" for players who don't care about ''what'' it's called.
33	** Doomtrain is referred to often as Doomy, Diabolos(female) is sometimes called Dee, and Hydronix calls Shao Kahn Kahnny out-of-game.
34	** After his revelation/return as a cyborg ninja, Michael Grayson was bestowed the nickname "Die Graysonator" by {{@/Etheru}}. Later became an ascended nickname.
35	** Andros' [[WriterOnBoard rant]] about the Touhoumons has [[SarcasmMode affectionately]] been nicknamed "The Rant" by {{@/Arcadiarika}}.
36	** The Ninja characters and {{Evil Counterpart}}s are often referred to as the "Ninjavatars" and the "Dark Avatars"[=/=] "Evil Avatars" by several people, particularly {{@/Icarael}}.
37	** "Lemplots" are by the player Lemurian, which are self-explanatory. Similarly, "[[ExcusePlot Ajbplots]]" are named after the player, but it's synonymous with "Generic Whateververse Plot" in that he barely comes up with anything else.
38	** Levin is used as a nickname for [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Gilgamesh]], as they both have very arrogant personalities.
39	** Andreus has "Alakandreus", in relation to his then-new Alakazam form.
40	** Joker has Crazy (perhaps due to his [=Cloudcuckoolander=] quallity) Bold-text (Due to how he speaks) and Lady (due to his androgyny).
41	* FetishRetardant: The [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=i9k31ypluou9s5j9d2w7n23k&page=14055#351361 Fanservice dimension]]. It would give Freud a field day. (TV Tropes is ''not'' responsible for any mental scarring you go through, but do ''not'' click this link unless you have a fairly high tolerance for what could be considered "Fetishtic".)
42	* HarsherInHindsight:
43	** Midna said that he was going to take a break due to losing his temper over current goings-on (guess). A day later, Midna was banned for harassment.
44	** Cyber Amy gave out gifts to Dai's characters: tunics for the guys, and dresses for the girls. Too bad it was mistyped and it went the other way around. What's so funny, though? Daisuke might as well be TheHeart of the group, and is the only male member at the time.
45	** Midna's final posts had Osaka telling Hilarity that he needed to become a god (you can guess the circumstances). Much, ''much'' later, Hilarity is the God of Order.
46	** At one point in the Discussion thread, Etheru said he was thinking of making a Valveverse Mega Man from ''Portal'', saying he'd be different from Chell because [[DeathIsCheap death would have been cheap]] for him. This was before the revelation about P-Body and Atlas.\
47	Another one relating to ''Portal'' is that, in WAOA, there were Anthropomorphic Personifications of concepts. One of them was "Bad Ideas", and Rai remarked about that in the Discussion thread after someone played Wheatley. [[spoiler: Wheatley was ''designed'' to make terrible decisions, much like Bad Ideas was designed to have bad ideas]].
48	** Tama Saisei, an Eyebot, tends to be [[CovertPervert a bit of a pervert]], usually recording women in secret and usually try sell DVD copies of it at least once. Months later, [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas the Lonesome Road DLC]] was released and it was revealed that ED-E is also a perv too.
49	** From the end of "Alyx's Origins" on, Catherine's TransformationTrinket is the Red Legendary Morpher, later called the Ultimate Red Legendary Morpher after "Sins of the Past", a device that allows her to transform first into the Ultimate Red Legendary Ranger, and then into any past Red Ranger at will with special orbs. Come ''[[Series/PowerRangersMegaforce Power Rangers Super Megaforce]]'', and the Rangers' morphers are also called Legendary Morphers, which also function about the same way as Catherine's morpher, only swap out "special orbs" with "Ranger Keys".
50	** When the group first appeared in the Naruto world, Michael hated it for...reasons unknown. Said world had ninjas in it, so why is it harsh? In Castlevania, where he took a break, he had to fight against [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry Maria]] and [[Manga/{{Trigun}} Legato]], and the resulting battle caused him to gain a cyborg ninja body in order to survive.
51	** In the ''The World Ends With You'' arc, among other things, Victoria was wangsting about the possibilities of the dead members of the group becoming reincarnated. Enter Alyx Grayson months later, who would later be revealed as the failed reincarnation (due to him losing his memories and becoming a different person) of Carter Grayson.
52	* [[HoYay Les Yay]]: Nearly all of Cly's characters, non-stop. Others include Catherine, Cyber Amy, Cryshell, and Gabriella. Last one wasn't played with much, in fact, she didn't want people to know it!
53	* MemeticMutation: '''''PROGRESS''''', once used in response to the ArcFatigue that is the Incarnates arc.
54	** The '''''dreaded''''' {{Filler}}. Self-explanatory.
55	** '''''All the''''' (insert object of choice). '''''[[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} All of them.]]'''''
56	* MemeticMolester: Seth, who is all but confirmed to be having sex with her [[YoungerThanTheyLook few-month-old artificial maid]]. The pedophilia implications have not been lost.
57	* MoralEventHorizon: Carter/Catherine doesn't just cross this after [[FaceHeelTurn becoming a Team Rocket member]], s/he leaps directly over it, starts running, and never looks back. This eventually leads to hir getting kicked off the team and [[HeelFaceTurn re-defecting to the rest of the group]].
58	** Duo mentions an incident with Slur involving seven planets being destroyed. He notes that five of those planets may not have been infected with Evil Energy in the first place, and that Slur may have done it just because she could.
59	** Cyber Amy(A.K.A. Amy being fused with her father Deviot's soul) rapes [[Webcomic/EightBitTheater Black Mage]].
60	** Deviot revived Kasei. Worked out till Saturn's version of Him decided to give Kasei his power back.
61	* NauseaFuel: At one point, [[Manga/BlackLagoon Hansel and Gretel]] swam in a river of blood, in swimsuits. If you ask [[{{Tropers/Etheru}} at least one troper]], you get a confirmed case of him nearly throwing up.
62	* NeverLiveItDown: Cyber Amy is a ''huge'' target for some players, due to the whole "[[spoiler:raping Black Mage]]" thing, usually not caring to actually ''ask if she was punished for it''. Yes, she ''was'' punished for it and it was acknowledged, but nobody feels the need to ask, or use the common sense to ''know'' that nobody would allow something like that to be unpunished. The same goes for The Great Pies Alt and his other raping moment, only he had far more unlikable characters.
63	** Midna, if he ever is able to return to the game, however unlikely it may be, will likely never live down the fact that he's incredibly... '''''OBSESSIVE''''' over characters like Mana or Dee.
64	** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted with]] Arcadiarika and her characters' Wangst and/or the WriterOnBoard moments. Most people are actually willing to let Arcadiarika live them down especially now that she's calmed down a bit: [[SelfDeprecation she's just not willing to live it down herself]].
65	** [=DaionusThe23rd=] caught a lot of heat for his (often vitriolic or just plain rude) opinions, usually expressed in ''equally'' vitriolic or rude rants. They range from actually having a point to being just plain nitpicky. He got better about it, but these rants did a number on Daionus's reputation in the game.
66	*** He's also had something of a reputation for hypocrisy and ego. And flaming the players.
67	** Dreigonix is probably never going to be able to live down the Xenocide incident or his tendency to overreact to his perceived mistakes.
68	* NightmareFuel: The Incarnates arc could get ''downright terrifying''. The "Ozzy's Nightmares" sequence was also meant to invoke this, especially the parts with Apos.
69	* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Invoked, players will sometimes play characters with negative to bad reception in their original work with different qualities or attempt to [[CharacterDevelopment develop]] them out of their roles. Players also use feedback to avoid their own characters becoming Scrappies.
70	* TheScrappy: The Lich king, due to {{Godmodding}}, the user playing them seemingly not knowing that there was a "Shift" button, and generally being annoying. Invoked a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome on two separate occasions, wherein LeeroyJenkins and the rest of his guild appear to fight the lich king--''and win.''
71	** Midna. Especially with his obsession with Dee, Mana, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and the Graysons, Catherine in particular]]. He also refuses to improve on his mistakes and pretends that there's nothing wrong--[[LogicBomb while he acknowledges his problems]].
72	** DJ Marred's character, "Drifter". Due to a combination of NewPowersAsThePlotDemands and {{Railroading}}, Drifter soon got a reputation for being not very well liked. Even after being reduced to a skull, Drifter continued being an annoying {{Jerkass}}. Eventually, DJ Marred got fed up and [[KilledOffForReal killed Drifter off for real]]. DJ Marred still considers the character an OldShame.
73	** Sploosh, a {{jerkass}} creature introduced by a newcomer. He overdid the {{jerkass}} gag to the point where it irritated the rest of the players. His player also didn't follow the usual format, making his posts hard to read.
74	** Suke Sho/Saturn finally reached this status. His utter misunderstanding of women led to playing extremely offensive characters. Besides that, he has the Sympathetic Sue status, which only worsens the players' opinions on him. Lastly, he does nothing but argue in the Discussion and fail to see the point of what people are saying.
75	** Katsuun's witches. Guilty of {{railroading}}, {{godmodding}}, and an OmniscientMoralityLicense that's very annoying. Their gloating doesn't help. They're getting better, apparently, but Katsuun's AuthorAvatar is taking the blows due to being annoyingly meta and [[SelfDeprecation self-deprecatory]].
76	* ScrappyMechanic: Fighting. However, several roleplayers have made rules to make fighting less so, such as only allowing one attack at a time.
77	* SeasonalRot: The Hell arc, which began promisingly but engaged in far too much {{railroading}} to be enjoyable for quite a few people; this was the fault of the players themselves, who noticed this and promptly made corrections.
78	** Arguably the Incarnates arc. See "Dork Age".
79	* {{Squick}}: In a drug-induced trip, GG cuts open his hand and offers his "[[AlienCatnip skittley blood]]" to a demon with BloodLust and a vampire, with predictable results. The in-universe and out-of-universe reaction ranged from BileFascination to NauseaFuel, but either way...
80	* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: The second AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent arc; there was less of an action-based plot, character interaction and lampshading took center stage, and the characters themselves were just as fun to interact with as in the last time.
81	* TearJerker: The [[WhamEpisode deaths of Flandre and Bit]]. The Group's reaction makes both deaths particularly heart-breaking.
82	** The Rota's Past Arc, which even made ''several roleplayers'' cry. Especially considering it's a ForegoneConclusion...
83	** [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney Commander Gore]]'s death in the second second AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent arc.
84	** Mammon's official death by WordOfGod. As for Guilty, nobody seemed to know who he was, as everyone who he met were bussed or asleep at the respective time. Therefore, the reactions were appropriate.
85	* ThatOneBoss: Marietta, as seen in VideoGame/YggdraUnion ''and'' VideoGame/KnightsInTheNightmare.
86	* TooBleakStoppedCaring: The more or less incredibly dark arcs tend to get this treatment.
87	* VillainDecay: Sometimes done.
88	** Kasei was a dangerous threat when he was alive. When he was brought back to life by Deviot and promptly escaped his position, Hazama became a train the next day and ran him over, killing him.
89	* {{Wangst}}: Hydronix (or his other forms, to be exact) does this to the point that makes Franchise/{{S\|onicTheHedgehog}}ha[[VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog dow]] look downright happy.
90	** The Grayson family frequently suffered from this, but they got much better. Especially Catherine/Carter, the parent who was so prone to this. The rare exceptions to this trope are Carter's Other, Matt, who was so focused on redemption and revenge, and pre-adoption Arcadiarika, who TookALevelInJerkass to make up for it.
91	* TheWoobie - minus, Parsee, Dee, Mika, Irene, Eris, Lip, Megan, and Mara.
