''Class E Chronicles'' is a roleplay hosted on Website/FanfictionDotNet, taking place in/based on the world of ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'', specifically ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChroniclesII'', covering the times and fortunes of one of the groups of unsung heroes of the [[CivilWar Gallian Civil War]], Class E.

As [[AlternativeCalendar EC 1936]] comes to a close, the continent of [[FantasyCounterpartCulture Europa]] is wracked by war, most prominently the titanic struggle that is the Second Europan War between the two dominant superpowers, [[TheEmpire the East Europan Imperial Alliance]] and [[TheFederation the Atlantic Federation]], with continental and thus global supremacy. However, far beneath their notice lies the true subject of the story.

The Principality of Gallia has struggled to survive and maintain its neutrality in the line of fire between the two warring juggernauts. Thus far, it has succeeded, albeit at high cost. However, a new threat now festers from within. Having narrowly avoided conquest by the Empire [[VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles two years ago]], Gallia has since managed to make peace with their old enemy, and for a while it appeared that there would be time to recover and rebuild from the trauma of a conflict that claimed over a tenth of the Gallian population and most of its military in just over half a year.

The peace was scarcely signed when Archdutchess Cordelia gi Randgriz revealed her true heritage (and the heritage of her family line) as [[SpaceJews Darcsen]] rather than Valkyria (as they had maintained for centuries) in an effort to try and heal the wounds of racial prejudice.

[[GoneHorriblyWrong This backfired horrifically]], as large segments of the population rebelled against the idea of being ruled by a Darcsen, many of them [[CivilWar literally.]] In response, opponents of the government launch [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters what they call]] the [[CivilWar Gallian]] [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized Revolution]], aimed not merely at the deposition of House Randgriz, but also the [[FinalSolution eradication of Darcsens from Gallia entirely.]]

Still devastated from the invasion and legally unable to call upon the national militia (and [[EnemyWithin unable to necessarily trust them to remain loyal if they were]]) in the civil war, the government is forced to take drastic measures to mobilize forces to confront the insurrection. One source they tap are the cadets of Lanseal Royal MilitaryAcademy, who are called upon to man the Southern front almost alone.

[[RecapEpisode Sound similar so far?]]

Well, this is where a ''few'' differences start to pop up.

In March 2012, ''Class E Chronicles'' underwent a complete reboot, making a new timeline to kick-start from the very beginning. The final post for it was written in 2018.

* ChildSoldiers: The dates involved show that [[spoiler:James]] has been fighting since he was twelve.
%% ** A large portion of the cast, given Gallia's Universal Conscription.
%% * CivilWar: Comes with the [[VideoGame/ValkyriaChroniclesII setting.]]
%% * CultureChopSuey: To some extent.
%% * DarkAndTroubledPast: It'd be easier to list the player characters that ''don't'' have this than those that do.
%% * DarkerAndEdgier
%% * DecadentCourt: The Gallian aristocracy during the reign of [[VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles Prime]] [[PosthumousCharacter Minister]] [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves Maurits]] [[EvilChancellor Von]] [[TheStarscream Borg]]... and quite likely after it.
* DeathSeeker: Zamuel wants to die ''almost'' as much as he wants to kill "haters". Almost.
%% * DeconReconSwitch
%% * DeconstructorFleet

%%
%% If you expand on this example, please remove also the All Blue Entry.
%%
%% * FantasticRacism
%% * FantasyCounterpartCulture
%% * TheFederation: [[EagleLand The]] [[UsefulNotes/{{NATO}} Atlantic]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist Federation]], which James fights for.
* FictionalCounterpart: Several movies and books from the early 1900's are often referenced by Erlina and Kevin respectively.
** A notable example is [[Literature/AllQuietOnTheWesternFront "All Quiet on the Eastern Front."]]
** Miles' comic book, ''The Half-Life of Adrian Shephard'', has Shephard as an Aperture Science Physicist instead of an HECU soldier.
%% * GambitPileup
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Carol has a scar on her leg and Isabelle has a cross shaped one on her forehead. Gail has shark bite scars on her left upper arm, torso and thigh.
%% * TheGreatestStoryNeverTold
* HeroOfAnotherStory: The entire concept behind the RP: the adventures of a class other than G or A during the course of 1937. In fact, Class E doesn't get mentioned ''at all'' outside of a DLC mission, allowing a degree of liberties to be taken.
%% * HiddenAgendaVillain: Several.
* InferredHolocaust: [[SubvertedTrope No longer inferred.]] The [[ShockingDefeatLegacy destruction of Ghirlandaio (and the vast majority of the Gallian military with it)?]] So devastating that Gallia is still militarily crippled two years after the fact. The against-all-odds victory over [[TheEmpire the EEIA]] in [[VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles the first game?]] Obtained at the cost of at ''least'' more than a tenth of the Gallian population. And that's before the costs of the civil war are added in. [[invoked]]
%%* LittleHeroBigWar
* TheMatchmaker: Erlina. She finds amusement and fulfilment in being able to manipulate a relationship herself, often thinking that she's providing the people a service for a greater good. She can often screw up just as much as she fixes though.
%% * MilitaryAcademy
%% * NewAgeRetroHippie: Soselo.
* NoSocialSkills: Miles. He largely isolates himself reading comics. And he usually gets uncomfortable when [[TheTease Erlina]] has to forcefully drag him into any social activity; often literally.
%% * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: [[VideoGame/AceCombat 8492nd Division]].
* OfficerAndAGentleman: Kevin aspires to be one of these. While not of any noble background himself, he is still a leader, has a sense of honor, and he tries to keep himself at the upmost gentlemanly behavior, especially around women. But he still has his "normal" self poke through occasionally. When he's around guys, [[OneOfTheBoys Erlina]], or the pressure of combat, he usually drops most of his formalities and is more casual.
%% ** [[GeniusBruiser James]] is a far [[OldSoldier rougher]] and [[WellIntentionedExtremist darker]] version.
%% * OldSoldier: More than a few, but [[TheFederation James]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist London]] is perhaps the clearest.
* OneOfTheBoys: Erlina Alexander often reflects upon how she typically has more male friends than female ones. It could be that she's a bit of a {{Tomboy}}... maybe it's because she's a playful flirt... or, maybe because she's very pretty, [[UnkemptBeauty even when she's not trying]]... Nonetheless, she does make attempts to reach back in touch with her feminine side.
%% * OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent : Played with. Yes, they're teenagers and students, but they're also military cadets.
%% * PosthumousCharacter: Several.
%% * {{Reconstruction}}
%% * TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: The [[CivilWar Gallian]] [[FantasticRacism Revolutionary]] [[FinalSolution Army]] are the main antagonists so far.
%% * RuleOfCool: The Senjou no Mecha side-RP... which has a [[VideoGame/{{Trenched}} Mobile Trench]] working alongside [[Anime/ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS Armored Troopers]]. In space, no less.
* ShoutOut: Miles reads a comic book called ''VideoGame/HalfLife''.
%% * ShownTheirWork: Beware of massive Walls of Text in Discussion. Worldbuilding is always in progress.
%% * ShrinkingViolet: A few girls play with this trope, though the main example is [[ShyBlueHairedGirl Carol]].
%% * SliceOfLife: The Bread and Butter of the RP.
* SoleSurvivor: Carol's village was hit by a Darcsen hunt. Everybody, except her, where either killed or captured and sent to concentration camps. She was lucky not to be found.
%% ** Zamuel.
* TheTease: Whether she does it intentionally or not (over half the time it's still intentional), Erlina often playfully flirts with boys, not exactly looking for a relationship. In truth, Erlina revealed in her thoughts that [[FreudianExcuse she has bad social skills with girls, and she finds it much easier to simply bat an eyelash towards boys]]. She also finds a comfortable sense of control over males, and finds that they're more willing to be her friend once she throws them a playful look.
%% * WackyHomeroom
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: As they're students assigned to fight an entire front of the Civil War, the last two go hand in hand.
%% * WellIntentionedExtremist: Many.
%% * WonTheWarLostThePeace: A major threat looming over Gallia's head is that its victory over [[TheEmpire the EEIA]] [[VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles two years ago]] might turn out to be a case of this.
%% * ZombieApocalypse: Rebel Zombies, the local version of ''VideoGame/NaziZombies'' meets ''VideoGame/KillingFloor'' meets ''VideoGame/Left4Dead''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:New Continuity]]
%% * ClusterFBomb: Gustava's {{Reason You Suck Speech}} to Morgan is full of curses.
%% * ContinuityReboot
* DarkerAndEdgier: For one, we now have a clear insight as to the goings-on at Castle Gassenarl, and what other sorts of individuals are fighting for the Rebels. From the [[TokenGoodTeammate Adelbrechts]] to the slaver Hilda, to [[PsychoForHire the Trench Rats]], and everyone in between.
%% * DressingAsTheEnemy: Maggie gets [[spoiler:Kevin]] to do this to get past Rebel patrols on the way to the main battleground of the class' first skirmish.
* FantasticRacism: A very specific example occurs during the latest events of Lanseal's MeasuringDay. After a hilarious series of events involving the barrier between the boys' and girls' sections in the gym for measuring being knocked down, exposing a portion of both sides to each other's good looks, various students ended up focusing their dislike of Imperials on Kelda. Their unending stream of barbs toward her height, looks, and even an expression of lewd intentions drove her to tears... [[DisproportionateRetribution and got a girl suplexed by Yulia.]]
* GoodBadBugs: The system used in-universe during the Player Vs. Player exercise. Generally reliable, save for [[OneHitKill Lances]] being treated like grenades.
* GreatEscape: Ethan helped plan this in an [[TheEmpire Imperial]] POWCamp in the desert before joining the escapees on a march back to friendly lines.
* HeroicBSOD: Morgan goes into shellshock after her first kill, but after coming to terms with it, she's ready to keep on.
%% * ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: Carmilla feels this way about Amelia.
%% * LeeroyJenkins: Morgan infamously pulls this stunt during the class' training exercise. It gets her downed.
%% * LighterAndSofter: In some respects. Scarlett is no longer a StepfordSmiler, for one.
* MegaCorp: Europan Ragnite Technology Services (ERTS) Corporation - largest private defence contractor for the [[TheFederation Federation]] and has [[PrivateMilitaryContractors three subsidiaries which are its ground, naval and air forces in every practical sense]].
* MildlyMilitary: Zig-zagged. Radio callsigns and military jargon are used, but personal interactions between some characters and others are hardly formal even during a battle.
%% * OfficerAndAGentleman: Kevin still, which has earned him so far a few points with [[CloudCuckoolander Carmilla]].
%% * PrivateMilitaryContractors: The [[PunchClockVillain Serpents of the Blue Flame]], and the [[PsychoForHire Trench Rats]].
* WhatTheHellHero: Everyone who witnessed Gustava's [[CruelAndUnusualDeath brutal killing of a Rebel]] and subsequently pumping his corpse full of bullets decided that something needed to be done about such a thing. And that that sort of behavior was completely unacceptable in general. Maggie in particular had her view on what to do about Rebels changed by this incident.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Old Continuity]]
%% * AnArmAndALeg: Happens to [[spoiler:Adam]] in Arlem.
%% * BeneathTheMask:
%% ** Priscilla is an example of one, hiding her true color.
%% ** Scarlett as well, though she's a StepfordSmiler.
* BrokenBird: Elizabeth. After losing her [[DarkAndTroubledPast boyfriend in a squad-wide massacre]] in Barious desert by [[VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles Selvaria Bles and the Imperial forces]], Elizabeth has gotten much more cynical and serious with her outlook on military service. She blames herself for falling in love and making herself "weak" in the process. But her experience and outlook has made her into something of a [[SternTeacher Stern Mentor]] towards the younger Class E students, often encouraging characters like {{Shrinking Violet}}s into shaping up and being braver.
-->'''Elizabeth:''' ''"Ugh... falling for him was... a mistake. [[ScrewDestiny My parents, I could deal with]]. [[FantasticRacism The squad's prejudice, I could deal with]]. All of their insults, his insults, they were things I could deal with. [[LoveHurts But falling for him made me... more emotional fragile than I could've possibly imagine]]. And thus, on that fateful day... I was broken."''
%% ** Scarlett plays with this trope a little
* CantHoldHisLiquor: Katie to a horrific degree. She's a {{genki girl}} and during the New Year's party, she takes one mere swig of champagne, then goes off to try and hit on [[LonelyRichKid Katarina]], gets in a verbal fight with drunk [[{{Jerkass}} Zamuel]], ends up being apprehended by [[BrilliantButLazy Ashley]], [[TheLancer Mikhail]], and [[LeeroyJenkins Adam]], then passes out on Ashley's bed, but not before making drunken pick-up attempts on her as well.
%% * CaptainErsatz: [[BloodKnight Zach Seitz]] is described to look like Rambo in terms of appearance.
%% * ClassRepresentative: Meline Bertrand thus far.
%% * DancesAndBalls: Class E had an opportunity for this on New Year's, though very few people actually danced.
%% * DudeWheresMyRespect: Connor([[SplitPersonality /Zach]])'s reason for defecting from the GRA.
* GollumMadeMeDoIt: Excella made Katarina do it. Katarina often struggles with a persona that takes the form of her deceased sister. There have been times where Excella actually [[SplitPersonalityTakeover takes over.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Katarina and Eclaire. The latter is the former's servant, and has been so since she was first found by Katarina's family. The two have been good friends since childhood, and Eclaire actually got into Lanseal so she could serve as added assurance that Katarina would be okay out in the hardships of campus life.
%% * LeeroyJenkins: [[BloodKnight Zach]] [[MoreDakka Seitz]] and ''especially'' [[TheMunchkin Adam]] [[ColdSniper Wade]].
* LittleBlackDress: The center of a comical skit. Erlina wears a rather nicely [[FormFittingWardrobe form-fitting]] one inspired by [[Creator/AudreyHepburn Audrey's own]] during the New Year's party. She brought [[ButtMonkey Miles]] along to help her judge the dress, for a male's opinion... naturally, he [[{{Nosebleed}} reacts]], and {{hilarity ensues}}.
* NeverASelfMadeWoman: If Headmaster Lawrence Kluivert wasn’t Katarina’s uncle, she wouldn’t even be at Lanseal because of her SplitPersonality disorder.
%% * ShellShockedVeteran: Emeryk.
* SoleSurvivor:
** Katarina is the last surviving member of her BlueBlood family.
** Kevin lead a squad of civilians in defense of his hometown when it was attacked by TheEmpire . While the makeshift militia succeeded in buying the citizens time for evacuation, Kevin was the only survivor of his particular group. He's gotten over it with only the occasional moment of[[SurvivorGuilt survivor guilt]].
** Garret is one of the few students who survives alongside Scarlett in the series of the class' unfortunate history.
%% ** [[TheJinx Scarlett]] of her first two classes.
%% * SplitPersonality: Katarina and Connor.
%% * StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler: Scarlett]] is definitely one, and she may fall under types A and B.
* UnfortunateNames: Katie's last name is Syrup, a fact she is rather bitterly aggrieved by. This spins from her ''original'' name, Kaede Shippuru - which means "Maple Syrup".
* WrittenInAbsence: Garret and Sarah both have this in their background. The former was actually a member of Class E for the last 3 years, making him one of the [[SoleSurvivor sole survivors]] of the class' history along with [[TheJinx Scarlett]]. He was gone, due to him being off visiting the remains of his hometown. Sarah on the other hand, was cleared to be admitted to Lanseal, though difficulties with her parents prevented her from going sooner.
