''Armored Core: All as One'' is an RPG by Kamotz. In his own words, it’s an attempt at combining the fast-paced mecha combat of the ''VideoGame/ArmoredCore'' series with the political intrigue and social interaction of ''Anime/CodeGeass''. So far, the protagonists, Irregulars (ace pilots with carte-blanche to kick ass) working for the agency Collared, are taking part in a seemingly-standard mission on the island of Madagascar when things go horribly wrong…

Tropes appearing in this RPG are:
* ArmCannon: A couple of Armored Cores feature weapons of this type, like Carmine's Pain Killer. The [=MorTar=] is a back-mounted cannon, though it does have an arm-mounted flamethrower and collapsible spinning chainsaw shield.
* BattleThemeMusic: Seth's is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLQxsDTqUKo&feature=related Tip of the Spear]] from the ''VideoGame/HaloReach'' soundtrack, according to [[WordOfGod Storymasterb]].
* BigDamnHeroes: Lance pulls this and appears to save the USS Tungsten from two enemy Irregulars... while demanding payment. Yeah.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Several Armored Cores feature this, primarily the ones using laser blades like the White Glint and the Final Excalibur.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Put your hand up if you ''ever'' imagined someone like Seth or Beatrice piloting a mecha. Exactly. According to WordOfGod, we'll be seeing just how bitter this trait makes Normals whenever they see Irregulars being paid vast amounts of cash for services they only perform better due to 'techno-nonsense'.
* CodeName: All of the main characters have one. This is Justified due to the fact that they're effectively soldiers.
* CurbStompBattle: Lance's White Glint vs. two enemy Irregulars rapidly descends into this in Lance's favor. Considering the two were a pair of [[FragileSpeedster Fragile Speedsters]] with hardly any missile-defense, it's no wonder.
* DoomedHometown: Alistair’s village was razed to the ground by a rogue Irregular when he was younger.
* DualWielding:
** Seth’s Final Excalibur in Luin configuration dual-wields vibro-swords.
** Most (if not every) current-generation Armored Core wields a weapon in either hand...and on on either side of their back, and support weapons on their shoulders. This should probably be called Sextuple Wielding
* {{Expy}}:
** The Final Excalibur in Luin configuration is quite similar to Suzaku Kururugi’s Lancelot in ''Code Geass''. Word of God states that this is fully intentional.
** Lance is essentially [[Series/{{Dexter}} Dexter Morgan]] meets [[Series/BurnNotice Michael Westen]] with just a pinch of [[Series/{{NCIS}} Ziva David]].
* AFriendInNeed: Victoria gives as much of her mission profits as possible to aid charities.
* GlassCannon:
** The Final Excalibur primarily. Let it hit you and you'll feel it for the next week, but hit it back and you can take it to pieces pretty easily. This is partly why Seth is so determined to keep it from harm.
** Most lightweights are either [[GlassCannon Glass Cannons]] or [[FragileSpeedster Fragile Speedsters]] or both, though the degrees of which vary.
** The Valkyria Redtail and Zashiki-warashi are a bit more balanced in that regard and can take a bit more damage.
* HopeSpot: Practically parodied by the sequence of Alistair getting no less than three in a row, two of which are crushed. First Theo reveals he has a satellite phone and can contact Beatrice... but she and the others can't return due to fighting their own battle. Then the Tungsten hails Serra, who offers the White Glint as help... only to reveal Lance wants payment. And when ''that'' gets sorted... it turns out Serra (and thus the White Glint) are ''ninety miles away''. Fortunately, it's fast enough to make the journey in ''three-point-two minutes''.
* HumongousMecha: According to WordOfGod, something like this may eventually appear…
* ImprobableWeaponUser:
** The [=MorTar=], mounted on Carmine’s Pain Killer. This thing fires balls of flaming tar, for crying out loud!
** The Pain Killer exemplifies this trope, with its main weapons being the [=MorTar=] back-mounted cannon, an arm-mounted flamethrower, and a collapsable spinning chainsaw shield. Aside from a (large-calibur) backup pistol, its only other weapon is a multi-tool cutting torch!
* InterServiceRivalry: Quite a few Normals are bitter about the Irregulars, who get paid in the ''millions'' simply due to their AMS compatibility allowing them to pilot Armored Cores more effectively. The Irregulars as a whole don't really look down on the Normals, however, making this one-sided.
* LaserBlade: A fairly common weapon, though not of the lightsaber type with a constant blade. Rather these laser blades are switched on for short periods of cutting, then switched off for power conservation.
* LatexSpaceSuit: As per the [[Anime/CodeGeass inspiration]], every single pilot seems to be wearing spandex when piloting their Armored Cores.
* LightIsNotGood:
** Despite his primarily-white Armored Core and pilot's suit, sociopath Lance Donovan can hardly be considered a "good guy."
** He just [[EvenEvilHasStandards has standards]].
** Though even he admits he doesn't know what those standards are exactly. But he'll let you know when he figures that out.
* LightningBruiser: The White Glint is the primary example, but most medium-weight Armored Cores would qualify, as they're pretty fast, but able to take fire better than lightweights like the Final Excalibur.
** The White Glint is on the faster, lighter end of the medium spectrum. Most mediums stand somewhere between the JackOfAllStats and MightyGlacier.
* MiniMecha: The Armored Cores themselves qualify, as they’re on about the same scale as Knightmare Frames in ''Code Geass''.
* ReallyGetsAround: Lance, again, in spades. Though it's essentially part of his "cover" to try and appear "normal." Most of his relationships fail spectacularly because he cannot connect to anyone emotionally.
* RealRobot: All the Armored Cores are this. The only real candidates to exit the genre are the Irregulars, and only due to the application of the AMS. The Normals play this very straight.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After his partner is killed and his machine's arm is sliced off, the other Irregular attacking the Tungsten beats a ''very'' hasty retreat.
* ShoutOut: The Final Excalibur's weapons mostly have code designations named for the [[Myth/KingArthur Knights of the Round Table]]. In addition, one of Seth's past missions was Operation [[VideoGame/GearsOfWar 'Dawn Hammer']]. Alistair has a tattoo of [[VideoGame/DotHackGUGames Skeith]] on his back.
* SociopathicHero: Lance, pilot of the White Glint. He just appears normal.
* SpreadShot: The theme of the Final Excalibur’s Gae Bulg configuration, either using shrapnel weaponry like frag grenades, or weapons which fire a lot of ammo at once, like the shrapnel cannon.
* ThemeNaming: Seth Miles, Victoria Abel and Alistair Cain, named after three sons of Adam and Eve. Also, Seth’s Final Excalibur configurations are named after mythical spears: Luin, Gungnir, Gae Bulg and Trishula.
%% * MightyGlacier: The Paznos, the Jupiter, and (to an extent) the Pain Killer.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Subverted. Seth throws one of the Excalibur's vibro-swords knowing full well it won't hit, but it ''will'' force the enemy to stop firing and dodge while he draws a back-up weapon and readies for an attack.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Alistair is terrified of facing enemy Armored Cores personally due to his experiences at his DoomedHometown with renegade Irregulars.
