Darth Wiki / iAntiVirus

Go To

iAntiVirus was a roleplaying forum started by Azer and Icy of DeviantArt. It was originally a private RP, but it was eventually opened to the public in October, 2007. The setting was in a virtual reality MMORPG with the usual formula - classes, PvP, monsters, quests, etc. However, underneath the public eye is a virtual war going on between VIRUS and FIREWALL. VIRUS was angry at the Administrators for being slow to react to hackers, bots, trolls, and such that are degrading the game. Thus, VIRUS was formed to take matters with their own hands. FIREWALL was formed by the Administrators to counteract VIRUS and delete the members for playing god and being a threat to the game.

Notable for its long history, encouragement for creativity, and sprawling plot, the forum came to a close in December, 2015, after an 8-year run.

Note - All character-related tropes MUST go under the Characters page. The main page should be saved for the universe in general tropes and story-line tropes due to the length this article is getting.

Overlord

Torn (Overlord Violent Pillow)

    Combatants

  • Ax-Crazy: Although he doesn't seem like the type, Yukito can become quite brutal and merciless in a fight.

  • "Blackmail" Is Such an Ugly Word: "Blackmail?...I prefer the term...insurance."

  • Face–Heel Turn: Went from working with FIREWALL before betraying them by becoming a member of VIRUS as to further his own goals.

Usumori (Combatant Deep Abyss)

  • Big Eater: After changing from a "Tank" build to a "Melee" build after the ERA 19 reset, he tends to eat more as to refill his energy.

Lance (Combatant Deadly Bullet)

A bucket of smiles, sunshine, and rainbows, Lance is best described as enthusiastic, energetic, cheery, spirited, flamboyant, and extremely helpful. Despite his friendly nature, he has the tendency to get quite serious when the situation calls for it, and has shown to be an extremely skilful fighter.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Berserk Button: Just break his glasses or insult his sister. See what happens.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: He trusts Yukito, of all people. He trusts Yukito so much so that he perceives him to be a trustworthy ear to tell him of his relationship problems, including those of a sexual nature. concerning Damien. Yukito's second-In Command. Over tea and biscuits.
  • Technical Pacifist: He's deleted before, but prefers to spare lives.

Ether (Combatant Devious Dragon)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

Azrael (Combatant Diabolical Muffler)

If Torn is the "Founding Father" of Virus, then Azrael is the "Mother Figure", being the responsible, caring ass-kicker. She'll snap your neck, heal you and snap your neck again. Deep down she does care for every member of Virus, almost knowing every single one by name and liking to be one-on-one with everyone. If you do something stupid, she'd rather tear you apart with her words before her fists.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Foreign Cuss Word: "Merde".note 
  • In-Series Nickname: Knife calls her "Azzy-Baby", and Belial has called her "Training Bra" on at least one ocassion.

Knife (Combatant Fluffy Hamster)

A perpetually grinning, sarcastic bastard full of random antics, off-handed comments, and suggestive remarks. The Combatant of the Capture Division, he is as known for his unpredictability and ingenious tactics as for his love for cake. Tends to gravitate between being a cold-blooded, heartless tormentor and Jerk with a Heart of Gold, though he tends to be the latter unless he's in the interrogation room. See: High Octane Nightmare Fuel.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Once the facade of randomness and stupidity wears off, you'd better watch out because all of a sudden he means business. As witnessed in the battle for Combatant of Capture against Nephyl where he used a frying pan and "the power of Chinese cooking" to achieve victory.
  • Evil Cripple: Played for Laughs. Knife's real life player, Callum, is wheelchair-ridden and is constantly cooking up schemes to get Caleb (Arthur Ren) into humorous situations.
  • Forgets to Eat: Subverted. When he's stressed, he forgets to eat everything but (guess what) cake.
  • Love Hurts: Over and over again, to the point where Word of God has stated that his One True Love must be cake, as every relationship he has been in has failed miserably.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: Don't let his antics fool you. He bites. Hard. (That's what she said.)
  • Unresolved Sexual Tension: Word of God has stated that Knife was straight before meeting Arthur...
    • Word of God has also stated that if Ritchlock had never existed, Callum (Knife) and Jules (Maelstrom) would likely have been doing...stuff...

Souma (Combatant Ubiquitous Viscount)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Starcrossed Lovers: Den and Souma were dating despite them being in FIREWALL and VIRUS respectively, but this relationship was broken off by Souma when she realized that this would affect their relationship. Although they've now patched things up and they are now married.

    Fighters 

Fighters

Nefarence (Fighter Alley Cat)

A free-spirited, laid-back Fighter of the Wet Work Division, Nefarence is rarely seen around base but prefers to work outside solo, not trusting anyone to handle the job right but himself. Pleasant and brotherly, little do most know that everything Nef puts forward is a facade constructed to make others feel comfortable.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

Maeryn (Fighter Bitter Song)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

Coelia (Fighter Blind Justice)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

Michira (Fighter Bloody Pixie)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

Raven (Fighter Cynical Ace)

One of many Author Avatars. The master of the "|:" face and the eternal facepalm. Raven appears to be generally serious and as the kind of person who gets things done her way, but behind the facade hides a girl who just feels better showing her competitive side in-game and honestly wants to have fun.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Only Sane Man: In real life, Allison is a member of the expansive Chen Dynasty, members of which include a derpy, perpetually hyper redhead, a secret supergenius womanizer, and the largest exporters of medical marijuana on the planet. Add her relations with Knife online and Ying (Rea) as her best friend in real life, and there you have it.
  • Real Life Writes the Plot: The first time she met Ying (Rea) in real life was completely based upon the first meeting of Raven and Rea's writers. Word of God has however stated that she was far more stunned at how hyper someone could be than Raven was.
  • Subordinate Excuse: Appears to be doing this with Knife, who is her direct superior. However, they spend an excessive amount of time together off-base, and have recently even met up IRL.

Tori / Rito (Fighter Dark Horse)

Rito was once a Fighter known as Tori, but got deleted by the love of his life. He came back with the intent for revenge, adopting a cold and well-spoken persona. Calculating, unafraid to step over people to get what he wants, he wants to prove that his former deletion was a simple lapse of judgement and he is still quite strong.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Berserk Button: Radai can tell you just what happens when you mention his deletion.
  • I'm Not Hungry: Always turns down offerings of food. No one has ever seen him eat.
  • Kick the Dog
  • Klingon Promotion: Although in the fight he didn't kill Radai, but left her in a far more humiliating state of defeat.
  • Lonely Together: "Not getting all negative on being alone are we? If you are then I'll stick around and we can just be alone together." (To Michira).
  • Super Mode: While a Striker skill available for all, uses this against Radai in the fight for the Second Seat for Power.

Radai (Fighter Furious Fluffikinz)

More often than not described as "an animal", Radai is an extremely vicious person in general. While friends would see her as a far more easy-going person that loves a laugh, she has an extremely short temper and the desire to prove herself to be the strongest she can be.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • BFS: It looks as if Radai beat up Cloud with her bare hands to get this thing. Also, it's just about as tall as her when she slams it into the ground.
  • Determinator: She never gives up. Even when she is immobalised she'd yell and scream for her opponant to come back so she could kick their ass.
  • Dual Wielding: Her Zirus weapons are duel hand scythes.

Tonks (Fighter Grim Divinity)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

Maelstrom (Fighter Happy Emu)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Stalking is Love: Maelstrom stalked Ritchlock. And boy, did she ever stalk Ritchlock.
    • Word of God has also stated that if Ritchlock had never existed, Callum (Knife) and Jules (Maelstrom) would likely have been doing...stuff...

Ivy (Fighter Mercurial Air)

Bouncy and cheery, Ivy might seem like an airheaded, immature child with no sense of responsibility and her heart and mind set on only fun, but don't let appearances fool you. She's actually an incredibly perceptive, highly intelligent girl who will do anything and go to great lengths to defend VIRUS, for this girl her hardest and plays to win.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Asian Airhead: Subverted. Airheaded immaturity is a facade Adelaide puts forward.
  • The Pollyanna: Subverted. Ivy keeps all her sadness to herself, refusing to show the world anything but radiating sunshine.

Rea (Fighter Orange Zest)

One of many Author Avatars. Sunshine, double rainbows, and a sharp punch in the nuts, Rea is random derp and buried cynicism rolled into a five-foot-tall package. Second seat of the General Division, she is often found chasing after Trainees and is the one usually seen making announcements on base, most of them delving into an inappropriate or spazztastic nature.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Asian Airhead: Subverted Type Two. She's smarter than she looks, though she does have her blonde moments.
  • Authority in Name Only: Despite being a Fighter, Rea is still stuck doing many menial tasks such as cleaning toilets and making "DO NOT FAP" signs in the VIRUS bathrooms.
  • Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Subverted. This is exactly what most of her acquaintances expect of her, but she too is bored of the everyday and desires adventure.
  • Nerds Are Sexy: Not quite her, but the story of her life- every single man who has been attracted to her has been nerdy in some way or form.
  • Real Life Writes the Plot: Word of God has stated that she has altered Rea's plans because of events in real life on more than one occassion, notably the sudden inclusion of a best friend in her life, Raven.
  • Tsundere: According to Raven, the more she complains about a guy, the more she is likely to secretly harbour a crush on them.

Damien (Fighter Silent Knife)

Not all that talkative, Damien is a serious and driven member of Virus with a scowl permanently crossing his face. Merciless and able to improvise on his feet, he is highly loyal and strong willed, taking pride in being quick and efficient in his duties.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • "Blind Idiot" Translation: His creator has no idea how to speak French, and yet he uses it constantly.
  • Double Entendre: Between Lance talking loudly about Damien eating his sausage to Damien wanting to give Lance a " 'andjob" when he meant "handshake", he leans more on the accidental side.
  • My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels: His famous line to Lance after he had beaten him during the PV Ps of how he wanted to give him an "'andjob". note  Lance's and Azrael's reactions to this really just seal the deal.
  • Perma-Stubble: Only shaved it off once for a mission. Otherwise it never seems to go.
  • Scars Are Forever: While it's usually covered, he has a scar running down his back where he saved Lance from getting hit by a key.
  • Shoot the Dog: Deleting a hacker that was also a victim in a mission with Lance.

Nephyl (Fighter Winged Dancer)

Once a shy, stuttering girl who couldn't speak two sentences without bursting into tears, being abandoned by her lover has turned Nephyl into a frosty, acerbic woman who cares for few people and is focused only on getting ahead. Few people are witness to the weakness behind the mask, and fewer are aware of who she really is.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

    Minions 

Minions

Shay (Underling 'O,)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Power Trio: Saber, Shay and Kujira are best friends in the real world, and hang out as a group of three known jokingly as TOE (Team of Evil).
    • However, considering the romantic subtext between the three, it is undeniable that this has potential to become Two Guys and a Girl.

Kayden (Minion Bloody Hell)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

Badguy (Minion Evil Mailman)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Cain and Abel: With Requiem. This goes back as far as their previous avatars, Nenshou and Levantine.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Badguy goes back to back with this trope and Jerkass Façade, so much so that people mainly just consider him a Jerkass anyway, and only a few can really say otherwise.
  • Unstoppable Rage: Takes this ability, adds fire, a crippling side-effect and his "Just a Flesh Wound" personality to make an effectively devasting and somewhat terrifying Rage power.

Chime (Minion Peach Sorbet)

A FIREWALL traitor, Chime appears to be cheerful and simple-minded, and in some respects she is. However, when the situation calls for it, she can be observant, cunning, and downright brutal. After being tortured, she's far less trusting of the people she meets in-game, but continues to hide behind a sunny smile.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Attention Whore: Has outgrown this for the most part. This was especially apparent when she was a member of FIREWALL.
  • Badass Adorable: She's cute, but is also a force to be reckoned with in combat.
  • Brilliant, but Lazy: She can be smart- only when she wants to, though.
  • Cant Hold Their Liquor: Has about the alcohol tolerance of a toddler.
  • Genki Girl: After being tortured she didn't seem to have the same bounce in her step, but is slowly becoming this again.
  • Mind Rape: When she was tortured by Knife, he used her fear of the dark against her.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: She tends to hide her intelligence behind a ditzy exterior.
  • Sweet Tooth: She loves all sweet foods, really.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: No one loves ice cream as much as Chime does. No one.

    Underlings 

Underlings

    Trainees 

Trainees

Moose (Trainee Canadian Beaver)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Verbal Tic: Will always add "eh?" to the end of his questions. Always.

Kujira (Trainee Fail Whale)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Power Trio: Saber, Shay and Kujira are best friends in the real world, and hang out as a group of three known jokingly as TOE (Team of Evil).
    • However, considering the romantic subtext between the three, it is undeniable that this has potential to become Two Guys and a Girl.

Yomi (Trainee Hidden Agenda)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Always Identical Twins: Averted. Fye's (Yukito) twin brother, Ryou (Yomi), is said to look quite similar to him, but not to the point of being identical.
  • Evil Twin: Both Yukito and Yomi fit this; Yukito is the more benign of the two, "The lesser of two evils" as it were, while Yomi is markedly more cruel and sadistic than him.

Ferrero (Trainee Neapolitan Dynamite)

Goes by the nickname Roro; she's a weird girl who enjoys messing with people and stuffing her face with questionable food. She doesn't take much of anything seriously, and tends to blurt out whatever's on her mind, disregarding however harsh it might sound. She's steadfastly loyal to those she cares about, though.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Crocodile Tears: Used on multiple occasions with varying results. Close friends know better than to fall for this by now.
  • Emotionally Tongue-Tied: She would rather express her affection through physical violence than try and put her emotions into words.
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: Word of God claims that Roro has been issued several warnings for execessive swearing before.
  • Wrench Wench: Her weapon of choice is an oversized wrench that she hits people over the head with.

Saber (Trainee TMI Turkey)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Power Trio: Saber, Shay and Kujira are best friends in the real world, and hang out as a group of three known jokingly as TOE (Team of Evil).
    • However, considering the romantic subtext between the three, it is undeniable that this has potential to become Two Guys and a Girl.
  • Two Guys and a Girl: With Shay and Kujira.

Ophelia (Trainee Green Ranger)

An upbeat, eccentric girl who's always got a quip and a smile at the ready for everyone she meets. Don't underestimate her, she's a force to be reckoned with in her own right. She doesn't let anything (or anyone) get in her way!

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

FIREWALL

The Tropes that are associated with this organisation are:

  • Code Name/You Are Number 6: Everyone has a personal protection number made up of a random assortment of digits.

    Admiral 

Admiral

Denim (Corporal 332) / Pheonyx (Admiral 332)

The current leader of Firewall, Pheonyx is described as being quite "motherly" with the members of Firewall. Approachable and kind, she becomes quite determined when it comes to combating Virus and their exploits.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

    Corporals 

Corporals

Belial (Corporal 2350)

The Second-In-Command of Firewall, Belial goes by the philosophy of "Shoot first, shoot later, shoot some more, and when everyone's dead, ask a question or two". Vicious and merciless on the battlefield, he is not a person to be taken lightly.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

Aternity (Corporal 1314)

Passive-aggressive, critical and absolutely unrelenting are three of many ways to describe this mage. Although he is extremely loyal to his friends and those within FIREWALL, Aternity, while a brilliant strategist and fighter, is not at all subtle with most of his methods, be they social or combative.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Aggressive Submissive: With Emeraude. This probably explains their lack of action.
  • Canon Immigrant: Aternity is a five-year old character. iAnti is his fourth 'large' board.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Barges into meetings, makes bombs, wonders why people look at him funny. This makes Emeraude the Cloudcuckoolander's Minder.
  • Combat Pragmatist: Aternity has no sense of honor. He will happily take the tactical advantage if it presents itself in any way.
  • Compassionate Critic: Has no bounds. Ternie will gladly give anyone who asks his personal list of their flaws.
  • The Engineer: One of the few in FIREWALL that actually works to improve their technological standing in the war.
  • Mad Scientist: Good news everyone! I've taught the toaster to feel love!
  • Magic Knight: Well versed in most ranged combat weapons and not nearly as squishy as other Awetumiks.
  • Kicked Upstairs: Played straight. His promotion, given his inability to actually change anything, is rendered more or less useless.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: The speech given to Kaden right before his promotion.
  • Room Full of Crazy: There is said to be more explosive and rare material in Aternity's research lab than anywhere else in Cyberpolis. 50% chance of truth.
  • The Strategist: Lead a defense team to retake Medical in ERA 22. Played straight for several days, until a bomb destroyed his objective anyways.
  • Techno Wizard: It's part of the job description.

Monochrome (Corporal 39)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

Gone (Corporal 562)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

Morrigan (Corporal 1300)

A hyper young woman with a zest and love for anything orange, Morrigan is viewed as bubbly, energetic, and adventurous. She has a deep love for Firewall, so much so that all her cheer can get stripped away and leave something rather ruthless and serious when talking about the organisation she loves.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

Henrik (Corporal 1880)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

Arthur Ren (Corporal 6208)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

    Lieutenants 

Lieutenants

Bellame (Lieutenant 0290)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Embarrassing First Name: It means "Beautiful Friend" in French. Whoops.
  • Southern-Fried Genius: It would be even more apparant if his creator could type in a good Southern accent. In her own words, "If I knew how to type in a Southern accent better, he would have one." Oh well. What can you do?
  • You Are What You Hate: He claimed that he hated Henrik and Monochrome (but mostly Monochrome) forever, who he resembles to a certain extent in personality .

Clio (Lieutenant 748)

Cute, adorable, sweet, naive, gullible, oblivious, generous, selfless, clumsy, and hard-working. These are just a few words to describe Clio. An optimist at heart that prefers to see the good in all, she hides a bitter side that has been hurt and betrayed time and time again.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Affectionate Nickname: Belial calls her "Kiddo".
  • Berserk Button: Breaking her berry hairclip.
  • Break the Cutie: With Tori and Rito. Granted, they are the same person, but both did it through different means and reasons...
  • Eyepatch of Power: She originally had one before the Reset. When she found herself needing one again, Hanne gave her his.
  • Marshmallow Hell: Clio is quite prone to smothering with her hugs.
    "As anyone in Firewall could attest, Clio was rather well known for her smothering boobie hugs. The more she liked you, the more likely you were to suffocate."

    Troopers 

Troopers

Sean (Trooper 212)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

Larkin (Trooper 1773)

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

  • Affably Evil: A mild example.

Raijo

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

Pandamic

The unofficial Second in Command of Catalyst, Pandamic is described as "a trickster, a manipulator, and a lover of anything fun". This can easily be set aside for her goals, adapting her personality to the situation to get what she wants.

The Tropes that are associated with this character are:

Karella

A loyal follower of "Master Sol", Karella's obsession with her leader can be quite... intimidating. Her loyalty knows no bounds, and there is nothing she wouldn't do for him. God forbid you get between her and Master Sol. Hell hath no fury. She's a woman of many faces, too.

  • Aborted Arc: This is the rather unfortunate consequence of a member either discontinuing their usage of a character or discontinuing their visits to the site.
  • All Your Base Are Belong to Us
    • "The Invasion", where FIREWALL invaded VIRUS. It wasn't pretty.
    • The "The Raid" arc, where Virus repays Firewall by marching on them with an organised attack plan, complete with a clearly set goal, can also apply to this.
  • Author Avatar
    • Several of the characters are self-inserts of their creators. This is intentional on their part and some of them have admitted to them being as such.
    • There is also a variant of this in the sense that some of the Author Avatars are how the authors would have played Cyberpolis if it had been accessible to them. Examples of this variant are characters such as Ferrero, Rea and Kujira.
    • There are also several other characters who have unintentionally become Author Avatars as they grew and developed.
  • Beach Episode: This can be easily executed by holding a roleplay, a special event, etc. at the Summe'rian beach.
  • Berserk Button: Insulting Canada in front of Moose. In fact, even just cracking a beaver or hockey joke in front of him could result in blind rage.
  • Black Magic: One of the four paths of the Awetumik, the Elemental Mage, utilises up to two different elements, of which among them is the element of 'Darkness'.
  • Boom, Headshot!: This can be done by any character who uses a gun as a weapon although it is most effectively carried out by the Gunslinger Class Spa'ringians as it's their speciality.
  • Comic Trio: The trainees of Team Abs. Kamui comes up with crazy ideas, Jin has no idea what he is doing, and Paz as the Straight Man. Slightly subverted in the sense that Paz is genuinely too entertained by the two of them to actually attempt to set things straight.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Although VIRUS' uniforms are mostly black in colour, they aren't evil. Well... the majority of them aren't, anyways...
  • Deader than Dead: When a character gets hits with a Zirus or something similar then the character is gone. Admittedly there is always the possibility of coming back as a new avatar, but the character has to start over from Level 1 and can't join till the next ERA. Ouch.
  • Expy: Expys of copyrighted characters are strictly forbidden.
  • Game Within a Game: People on the forum roleplay characters who roleplay other characters in a MMO, sometimes roleplaying as secret agents for secret organisations!
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold
    • Rajio may be another one of those people who cusses at people 24/7, but he's really just a softie on the inside. He just has trust issues. Lots of them.
    • Ferris, despite his gruff and sarcastic exterior, will consciously go out of his way and risk business credibility to protect his loved ones from harm.
  • Like Brother and Sister:
    • Knife and Kayden get disgusted at even the idea of dating each other. Ditto with Knife and Nephyl. And Knife and almost any other female avatar he has developed a close friendship with.
  • Microts: A real-world variant; One 'ERA (or 'one year') in iAnti's timeline is 6 months for everyone roleplaying. This was discontinued starting with ERA 22; one real year is one in-universe year.
  • Mighty Glacier: All Summe'rians, but especially the Tank Class which is the slowest class in Cyberpolis.
  • Necromancer: One of the newer classes along with three others (Striker, Tombkeeper and Tinkerer) which came along with ERA 21.
  • Real Life Writes the Plot: Depending on the authors, there have been times when plot arcs were aborted or changed completely due to extenuating circumstances.
  • RPG Mechanics 'Verse: A Justified Trope. More like a video game verse though. Rokal has abused this in the past by unequiping his scarf when being strangled once. Thus leaving enough room for him to escape.
  • Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: For FIREWALL, VIRUS are the terrorists, but VIRUS considers themselves freedom fighters.
