Started in August 2011, Power Academy is a Forumotion roleplay forum centering around the eponymous boarding school for teens with superpowers. A freeform tale of action, adventure, romance, comedy, drama, and tropes. Lots and lots of tropes. There's a character page here.Found here.
Academy of Evil: Played with; the Academy trains both heroes and villains, but is considered neutral ground.
Aerith and Bob: There are characters with names like James, Sebastian, Valerie, Simon and Alice, as well as characters with names like Swilium, Talan, Midnight, Lightning and Atiago.
Bigger on the Inside: The Rec Hall—any room can be generated instantly upon opening the door based on what the guest is imagining. Want an Olympic-sized swimming pool? Bam, you have one.
This applies to the forum in general; over time, rooms and areas are added as needed.
Chekhov's Gun, Chekhov's Gunman: Many plot elements are foreshadowed beforehand; long before the school uniforms were made, Valerie was seen sketching designs for them, for instance.
Four Girl Ensemble: Out of Zeitgeist's characters: Lightning (the cute one), Alice (the (relatively) mannish one), Dahlia (the sexy one), and Valerie (a hybrid of cute and sexy).
Four Temperament Ensemble: Out of El Terre's characters: Fury (choleric), El Terre (sanguine), Aqua (phlegmatic), and Christine (melancholic/supine).
Genre Busting: As the description above would indicate. There are elements of adventure, comedy, romance, drama, science fiction, and slice of life throughout the roleplay.
Hard Light: Used in Timmy's holoroom and Alexei's simulator grounds.
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Isaac comments on the fact that it's snowing on the second day: "Right now, it's at the end of summer, supposedly. Then again, for some strange reason, it does feel like we've already been here for months..."
