After the high success of Jellyneo Altador Cup Vi, ending at an astounding 2950 pages, the Jellyneo Altador Cup Vii Roleplay was created exactly a year afterwards; May 24th, 2012. Over 500 pages have been accumulated with a combination of the veterans of last year (Moogi, Heric, Alexandria, Caleb, Ruko, Konata), as well as new roleplayers who have recently joined the ongoing craze (Fizzy, Mist, Gnats, Ramona).
Similarly to the plot of AC VI, the saboteurs—both new and old—have once again returned. However, there is one problem: "Squeaky" Tressif can't be the true leader of the saboteurs. He has recently been appointed a position on Team Roo Island, under watchful eyes of the Altador Cup Committee and the saboteur camp. Whether or not he does have evil intentions, somewhere out there, another has risen to take his rightful place. His intentions: taking down the Cup, and for good this time.
However, it'll take more than Putting the Band Back Together for the anti-saboteurs to prevail this time. As both old heroes and new join together against the saboteur cause, both parties will find that there's been a lot more thought and time put into this year's attempt to destroy their careers and even lives. For all they know... winning might not be the answer.
WARNING: All spoilers are unmarked!
The Altador Cup Vii Roleplay provides examples of:
- Abusive Parents:
- Hassow was this for Itsuki (formerly Kazune). He would regularly deprive him of food and had no qualms about leaving the baby in the burning Colosseum.
- Kentaro Grelinek greeted his daughter, Mirsha, and his stepdaughter, Derlyn, at the airport by hitting them both. Onlookers were not amused.
- Ascended Extra:
- This roleplay marks Hassow's finished progression from a minor villain who wasn't even named until halfway in the original to (arguably) the major antagonist.
- The other member of the Tsukimura-Cato alliance was just as bad, if not worse, as Clay was not even mentioned until the previous roleplay was almost over. It took an extra few months to find out what happened to trainees with saboteur tendencies.
- Avenging the Villain: Congratulations, anti-saboteurs, you just defeated Kaine. Oh, wait...Hassow knows about this? And he's on the Committee now? Oh, man...
- Crazy-Prepared: Apparently, Tico brought supplies in case of a mutant petpet invasion to a sport event. That is one of several examples.
- Create Your Own Villain: Though it was never her own intention to do so, a lot more happened from Valka accidentally revealing her magical form to Clay than anyone could have predicted.
- Deadly Upgrade: Valka ends up saving Vanessa by using Partial Kaine Transformation, but it's implied that had the battle lasted a few more minutes, she would've completely overloaded her current form and therefore Kaine's personality would permanently emerge. Needless to say, Layton makes her promise never to use said form again, no matter how desperate the situation gets.
- Dream Land: When the characters go to sleep, they enter a dream world in which they can interact with each other, manipulate the environment, and meet the authors.
- Large Ham: Elbin Towse. He says everything in a Size 7 font.
- Meaningful Name: Omega. In animals, an 'omega' is the lowest-ranking member of the society. While Hassow values her for her potential as a Faerie Star, her submissive personality makes her seem like the omega of Team Starmoon.
- Meaningful Rename: Mirsha changed Kazune's name to Itsuki to shed any remaining connections to his abusive father.
- Medium Awareness: The characters tend to notice font color changes.
- The Mole: Zenor pretended to serve as an engineer on a saboteur base for a while.
- No Indoor Voice: Elbin Towse, who speaks in Size 7 font at all times.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Valka, whose real name is Valkaine (and is normally referred to by enemies as 'the Valkaine Project' or 'Trainee 19'). The anti-saboteurs call her Valka since it sounds more 'humanlike.'
- Powered by a Forsaken Child:
- Actresses are very powerful and useful in battle, but in actuality, each and every one is a young girl who was kidnapped, genetically altered, forced to undergo brutal training, and (in some cases) brainwashed. Valka even interprets the process as ripping the humanity away from these girls.
- Full-strength Faerie Star potions are created by literally sucking every bit of magical energy away from a regular Actress, killing them. Despite this, Hassow still plans on organizing a full-scale Faerie Star attack and doesn't even seem to care about the Actresses that will have to die in order for this to occur. Stelle almost has this happen to her, but the anti-saboteurs save her.
- Retcon: Has occurred often, especially as characters are rewritten or picked up by new authors.
- Sleepy Head: Zax has a tendency to snooze off at random times, and occasionally can even fall asleep at will.
- Tabloid Melodrama: Clay intentionally sells stories (both true and untrue) about Valka to the tabloids, even revealing her magic form to the public.
- Teleporters and Transporters: Antola has the ability to teleport.
- Trapped in Villainy: Omega is this, though her actual "villainous" acts are minimal and limited mainly to merely being associated with Starmoon. That is until Hassow gets tired of her more docile tendencies and she's implied to turn into a pretty nasty Faerie Star.
