[[http://www.natsunokoi.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=13 Lamentable]] [[http://lamentablenights.wikia.com/wiki/Lamentable_Nights_Wiki Nights]] is a mass-collaborative fiction writing by a small group of online friends. The setting includes [[OurGhostsAreDifferent undead]], [[PsychicPowers psychics]], [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furries]], [[TheHeartless random monsters]], and generally crazy plot.

Boy oh boy are you in for the cringe.

----
!!Tropes used in ''Lamentable Nights'' include:

%%* AllPartOfTheShow: Cassius uses this to coverup Jacket's public appearance.
%%* AncientConspiracy
%%* ButtMonkey: several.
%%** Jacket for anything to do with his complexes/phobias (teenage girls, his hat, his jacket, cats, etc.)
%%** Martin for Lanette's gavel.
%%** Redmist for Hailey.
%%* CityOfAdventure: Pebbleton, the Town of Risen Spirits.
%%* ChewingTheScenery: happens, Jacket does this the most often.
%%* CombinationAttack: Graciel firing a Sophia-powered bullet results in an explosive [[MadeOfExplodium incendiary shot]].
%%* TheCorruption: what almost happens to Jacket before he bonds with Mirto.
%%** Played straight with Diesel.
%%* CrashIntoHello: between Makoto and Sophia. Also between Martin and Sanae. (Lots of S and M pairs here... 'kay, that ''did not'' read right.)
%%* MagicIsAMonsterMagnet
%%* {{Foreshadowing}}
%%* {{Hammerspace}}: the panzers' [=MPUDs=].
%%* {{Handwave}}
%%* TheHeartless: all of the blights.
%%* HiddenElfVillage: the Panzer HQ and similar panzer cities.
%%* InvisibleToNormals: ether and strays.
%%** Inverted by the highly visible Phantom Jacket.
%%* MagicByAnyOtherName: we call it Enomena.
%%* MixAndMatchCritters: just what the heck is with ''that'' dog + lamp post blight?
%%* MoodWhiplash: happens rather often because of the different writing styles of the rplayers.
%%* MuseumOfTheStrangeAndUnusual: Not that anyone knows it, but the Herston Public Museum and Library is actually a store for many ether artefacts.
%%* NotQuiteDead : The Train blight, at one point. Thankfully, that was soon amended.
%%* OhCrap: several characters do this at various times.
%%* OurSoulsAreDifferent
%%* PublicDomainCharacter: the [=NPCs=], sort of.
%%* RashomonStyle: because this is a sort-of-like-RP, with a cast main by different people, the posts read like that.
%%* SchizoTech: the panzers are supposed to be much more technologically advanced, yet their weapons are modelled after existing human ones. It is explained by the panzers [[MST3KMantra being fans of human weapons]].
%%* ShipTease: Martin and Sanae's rplayer does this to them.
* ShoutOut:
%%** nearly every shop that exists in Pebbleton.
%%** "''[[Film/{{Inception}} You're waiting for a train.]]''"
%%** Redmist's facepalm.
%%** The clock that keeps on running in one of Martin's posts.
%%--->[[Series/TwentyFour 08:52:28... 08:52:29... 08:52:30 PM]]
** The [[VideoGame/KatamariDamacy katamari]] ball formed by the three strays and Alex.
** Martin describing Jacket as "''Film/FullMetalJacket''".
%%** The panzer's [[Literature/ArtemisFowl moon-gravity technology]].
%%* SupernaturalSensitivity: many of the characters.
%%* {{Synchronization}}: between linked crossers and their strays to a certain extent.
%%* TrackingDevice: Kayte placed one in the modified MPUD she gave Heisel.
%%* TwoGuysAndAGirl: of the inital cast - the three strays (Jacket, Makoto, Sophia). Again, main by the same three rplayers.
%%* UnreliableNarrator: justified since the characters are main by different people.
%%* VampiricDraining: all blights do this to absorb ether.
%%* WorldOfHam

----

!!Tropes that apply to the ''Characters'' include:

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Crossers]]
%%* ISeeDeadPeople
%%* PsychicLink: with their linked stray.
%%* PsychicPowers

%%!! Mirto
%%She was previously bonded with Jacket.
%%* BadassBookworm
%%* BarrierMaiden
%%* HotBlooded: can be so at times, surprisingly.
%%* OnlyOneName
%%* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]
%%* PowerNullifier: one way to use her ability.
%%* {{Tsundere}}: Mirto and Jacket to each other, Type A.
%%* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: dogs.

%%!! Randall Kayne
%%* DeadpanSnarker
%%* EnergyBall
%%* {{Keet}}: sometimes.
%%* PunnyName: R. Kayne and K. Aios, main by the same rplayer. Arcane Chaos.

%%!! Martin Chang
%%His linked stray is Sophia.
%%* BerserkButton: mocking Martin's competence, or lack of.
%%* ClusterFBomb
%%* ConvenientlyOrphaned: though he is already an adult.
%%* NonActionGuy

%%!! Redmist
%%The {{hikikomori}}.
%%* ConvenientlyOrphaned
%%* KnowledgeBroker: one of the two characters created specifically for this purpose.
%%* LastNameBasis: both himself and to others.
%%* LonersAreFreaks
%%* TheStoic: Redmist invokes this when he is with others.
%%* {{Technopath}}: his abilities.
%%** NeuralImplanting: enables him to [[ElectronicTelepathy control certain machines]] with his mind.
%%* UnreliableExpositor

%%!! Sanae Fujiwara
%%Her linked stray is Makoto.
%%* NaiveEverygirl
%%* NaiveNewcomer: more so than the other crossers.
%%* OlderThanTheyLook

%%!! Lilia Auen
%%An experienced crosser. Her linked stray is Leuel.
%%* ActionGirl
%%* CoolBigSis[=/=]TeamMom
%%* GirlyGirl: as much as a skilled crosser could be anyway
%%* SweetTooth

%%!! Lanette Hindfell
%%Hero-wannabee.
%%* BadassInDistress: recently, she's like this.
%%* BigDamnHeroes: tries at this, but gets sadly subverted each time.
%%* BoisterousBruiser
%%* CuteClumsyGirl
%%* GenkiGirl
%%* TheIngenue
%%* LargeHam: SHADOW BUSTER LANETTE!
%%* ScarfOfAsskicking: It's like, [[IconicItem her thing]], man.

%%!! Heisel Warren
%%His linked stray is Diesel.
%%* ChekhovsGunman
%%* MrExposition: to both Randall and Redmist.

!! KAITOU
Professional "Good-for-Nothing". A strange fellow who is cursed, and can [[SummonMagic summon]] occult minions to do his bidding.
* AdorableEvilMinions: The bulk of KAITOU's summons are these. They're individually weak, and mostly rely on [[ZergRush sheer numbers]] to [[DeathOfAThousandCuts overwhelm]] the enemy.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Spells his name deliberately in [[CapitalLettersAreMagic all caps]]. He has also slew of [[IHaveManyNames other pseudonyms]] for when "KAITOU" just won't cut it.
%%* CheshireCatGrin
%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
* CursedWithAwesome: KAITOU is afflicted with a "curse" that allows him to (among other things) walk up [[WallCrawl walls]] and [[CeilingCling ceilings]], turn [[{{Invisibility}} invisible]] for a short time, and [[SuperSenses see in infrared]]. It's no wonder he [[{{Unishment}} doesn't mind it much]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: Both KAITOU himself and the nature of his abilities can be rather creepy, but he's actually [[NiceGuy not that bad of a guy]].
* DetectEvil: KAITOU's powers allow him to detect the source of myths and folklore; the [[IdiotHair loose strand of hair]] on his head perks up whenever he senses their presence.
** A secondary effect is the ability to tell when someone is [[LivingLieDetector lying]], as "Lies are technically myths, too; [[MetaphoricallyTrue just smaller]]".
* {{Expy}}: Literally. KAITOU is a character carried over from an old, abandoned incarnation of Lamentable Nights. He is, in fact, the same character from the [[AlternateUniverse old RP]] who encountered a [[CruelTwistEnding bad end]] and was left to die in a [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds dimensional rift]], but somehow wound up being [[TrappedInAnotherWorld trapped]] in this world instead.
* LightmareFuel: One of KAITOU's minions is a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw]]-wielding monster, but it's completely incompetent at fighting and is actually quite friendly.
* MadnessMakeover: KAITOU was once a pretty different guy. Then [[EverybodysDeadDave something]] happened, causing him to [[DespairEventHorizon snap]] completely. Surprisingly, this actually changed him for the better.
* NightmareFetishist: KAITOU has a borderline fanatic [[AdmiringTheAbomination love]] for urban legends, usually of the spookier, dangerously occult kind.
%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
* StringyHairedGhostGirl: Sen, one of KAITOU's summons, is one of these.
%%* TheMinionMaster
* WeaksauceWeakness: KAITOU has a debilitating sensitivity to the cold. He wears a winter coat in the middle of summer and still complains about being chilly.
