Dilophorole is a multi-platform roleplay group that acts within both Twitter and their own Discord server.
The plot follows a storyline in which randomly selected people from various universes are thrusted into a shared world aptly named, "The Void." It is the center of all universes and acts as a microcosm for the multiverse. Characters are forced to cooperate as they either attempt to escape and return home or explore their new land.
The nature of this concept allows for all sorts of characters to interact, regardless of their laws and physics. Unfortunately, it also allows them to take advantage of technologies and magics not available within their own world.
This media contains the following tropes:
- Bigger on the Inside: It features a central living space that appears no bigger than a suburban home, but contains infinite space and hundreds of doors and hallways.
- Cast Full of Gay: Most of this universe falls under the LGBT umbrella, with very few exceptions.
- Death Is Cheap: There are too many ways to return to life. Even in the cases of permadeath, there is a way to return thanks to the endless amount of resources within The Void.
- Death Is Not Permanent: People are able to come back to life, whether it through resurrection, or quite literally crawling out of 'The Abyss.'
- Medium Awareness: Many characters will break the fourth wall and mention the fact that everything is being dictated by a writer, and that they themselves are but a muse without will.
- As an addition to this, characters who are forgotten, or muses who dropped will be sent to a place known as 'The Abyss.' The Void is a relatively large, floating island in endless space. The Abyss is the endless darkness below from which nothing can escape. (Though, when a writer picks up a muse again, they do, escape.)
- The Multiverse: Dilophorole features the clashing of alternate universes as a main plotline.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: The protagonists consist of a cast of roughly stitched-up alliances between characters who hardly know eachother. A clairvoyant demon with a flirtatious streak may join with a rouge-ish and manipulative criminal and a bubbly, hyper-optimistic heroine and still get the job done despite their clashing traits and general lack of professionalism.
- "Truman Show" Plot: The characters are vaguely aware that there's a reason they were chosen to be placed in The Void, but are unaware of the fact that they and their actions are being watched and manipulated by a higher power. Even the omnipotent and omniscient characters and clairvoyants are unable to decipher the true identity of the one who rules The Void.
