Escape from Nevara was an OriginalCharacterTournament held on Website/DeviantArt.
It started around December of 2008 and ended roughly a year later.

The plot started when a [[LivingShadow shadowy being]], [[BigBad The Apparation]], kidnapped several dozens of people across multiple dimensions and trapped them in [[EldritchLocation Nevara]], a world based on emotions and memories. The people are then forced to participate in a tournament where the ultimate winner will be granted a wish, as well as their freedom.

The ultimate canon of the story followed the winner ([[http://corpse-face.deviantart.com/ Corpse-Face]])'s entries, and can be found [[http://corpse-face.deviantart.com/art/EFN-Audition-part-1-111520613/ here]]. However, Escape From Nevara was more of a collaboration between many talented artists and writers.

!!Escape from Nevara contain examples of the following tropes:

* AlienSky: In the finale, the moon turned into a GIANT CLOCK.
* {{Animesque}}: Though the official canon's artstyle is less so than the others.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Most promenient in the official plot, since the protagonists are a zombie and a vampire, the gang's members include a goth and a black eyed alien (and latter two Jiang Shi), and the Apparition's sister is the BigGood, while the Apparition whisps act independently from him as well and joins the protagonists.
* EldritchAbomination: Apparition and the other natural inhabittants of Nevara, which appear as humanoid shadow beings aside from the alien looking Eskaed. Apparition himself is described as a being [[TheHeartless born from mankind's negative emotions]], though whereas this applies to the others or not is unknown.
* EscapeFromTheCrazyPlace: The entire premise of the tournament.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: as the [[http://escapefromnevara.deviantart.com/#/d1vwrc9 intro comic]] explained, the tournament started as a [[ForScience controlled experiment]] by human scientists...until The Apparation took over.
* LivingShadow: Apparition and his sister.
* MindRape: The Apparation (and the world of Nevara itself) LOVES doing this.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Adelmar and his family are undead, "classical" european vampires, though appearently capable of reproducing. They have a HealingFactor.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: used BRILLIANTLY [[http://kristehvampire.deviantart.com/art/EFN-Round-4-Part-3-130789216 here]]
* TournamentArc: No duh.
* TheUndead: A good percentage of the contestants who made it to the later tiers were this, [[OurZombiesAreDifferent in one way or another]].
