History FanFic / TyrantKings

** Blue has a brother named Red who went into entomology and wants to "[[Anime/{{Pokemon}} catch em all]]"
* StationsOfTheCanon: averted, the story takes great pains to go off the rails as soon as possible. Just to start with, [[spoiler: The Normandy is a collaborative project between the TSA and the Salerian Union. The SPECTRE giving Shepard his trial run is Jondum Bam. The renegade SPECTRE is Tela Vasir. Saren is considered a model Turian Spectre and is working with Garrus to figure out what the hell Tela is up to. Tevos may or may not be indoctrinated but is working with Tela and tries to kill the Council in a suicide attack. The Thorian is not hostile to all Fauna and after Ferros asks that all species leave the planet after it as it can't trust Fauna.]] And Captain Kirrahe will be made into a Spectre.

For another "''VideoGame/MassEffect'' meets EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs" fanfic, see ''Fanfic/MesozoicEffect''.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: The whole point of the story. Especially with ''sapient'' dinosaurs.

* TyrannosaurusRex: Not only are they one of the five Dinosaur Races who were discovered to be sentient, but they continue to play a major role in the TSA even in the era of spaceships.
** Hannah Shepard is a Tyrannosaurus.
** The story itself is named after the Tyrannosaurus: "Tyrant Lizard King" is the latin translation of "Tyrannosaurus Rex."

** [[LiveActionTV/BabylonFive Every race has their own version of Swedish Meatballs.]]
** Stephen's Aunt is named Cordelia, and married a male rex named Alexander... but since there's already an Alexander in the family, he goes by Xander, a shout-out to [[LiveActionTV/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy.]]

[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/tyrant-kings-a-jurassic-park-mass-effect-crossover.344972/ Tyrant Kings]] is a collaborative effort to merge together the settings of Jurassic Park and Mass Effect. The current result is an absolutely awesome FusionFic, where the word "restraint" has no meaning. It includes such gems as Sapient Dinosaurs, jetpack velociraptors, Pro-wrestling biotics, transhumanistic salarian monsters, triceratops admirals, and the first human Spectre raised by a Tyrannosaurus Rex. In short, this fic is a real gem. While there has only been one chapter thus far, it does contain a collection of snippets and codexes that flesh out the setting.

* TooDumbToLive: Cerberus never seems to learn from their past mistakes when trying to create new biological abominations. It's honestly amazing they're still functioning at all.

* {{Badass}}: According to one forum post, this story is basically the Oprah of Badass. "You get to be badass! And you get to be badass! ''Everyone'' gets to be badass!"

** The martian member of the First Contact diplomacy group is named [[JohnCarterOfMars John Carter]].

* ZombieApocalypse: Khar'shan (the Batarian homeworld) gets hit with ''two'' nearly simultaniously- the first is a bioweapon that turns people into fungal-based zombies. To combat these, Emperor Narvkel starts turning citizens into Husks. In the end, the situation is resolved when General Akror takes command of the Hegemony and bombards the planet from orbit.

* ProperlyParanoid: Many Terrans find it eerie how similar the various Citadel races are overall, especially given who different the Terran races are. Given the canon actions of the Reapers, this is justified.

* NoBiochemicalBarriers: for the TSA, but averted for the rest of the galaxy. Humans, Saurians, and Protheans can consume both Levo- and Dextro-amino acid foods without suffering from the debilitating effects that eating the wrong amino-acid foods would have on anyone else in the galaxy.

* AllThereInTheManual: The vast majority of the tropes listed here are based on the codex entries and word-of-god statements on the Spacebattles forum, with a few stories thrown in. The story itself hasn't even had a single chapter written yet.
