Wall-E RP (also known as WERP) was a forum-style RP located on LiveJournal, starting roughly one month after the Axiom's landing on Earth. Things are going well for Wall-E and company; the colony is thriving and they're making progress on cleaning up Earth. There are even plans to go clean up Earth's orbit, which involve eventually reactivating Auto. Someone wakes him up a little early by complete accident, but that awakening is only the first event along the way to a conflict that involves all of Sol System and even places beyond it.The RP ran from July 2008 to December 2010.
Almost Kiss: Gatrie and Candide almost kiss each other goodnight on one of the nights that Candide stays over at Gatrie's.
Alternate Universe: We try to be as close to canon as we can, though there have been enough alterations that the RP can potentially be called this. Keyword being potentially.
Anti-Hero: Aida. It took her a while to get to this point, but once she started to come even more into her own and see beyond Mars' plight, she awakened into this role.
Apocalyptic Log: The log found on the Endeavor of the last conversation Shelby Forthright ever had.
Arm Cannon: Sam-e and any of the ion cannon users mentioned below for BFG.
Big Brother Mentor: Gatrie is this to Dax, as he is there for his friend no matter what, but he is not afraid to disagree with him. This version of the trope is more for a villain than a hero. Lately, Dax's dark side has certainly tested Gatrie's role in this aspect of their friendship.
Blade Below The Shoulder: Luc's enhancements, two short blades attached to his wrists through which he can send a strong electrical current. Marc also has a very similar enhancement, but his two blades do not have the electrical abilities that his grandfather's do.
Break the Cutie: Tam-e. By the time her Corrupt the Cutie incident is over, she's gone from simple and sweet to confused and horribly lacking in the self esteem department. It takes her a while to start getting better.
The Captain: Captain McCrea, though lately he's been sort of getting pulled along from one disaster to the next.
Character Development: Auto gets the development that he didn't get in the movie. Also, the Reject Bots get this to an extent beyond what little they'd already been shown to have gained.
Cherry Blossoms: One of the notable features of the Moonbase's Arboretum is a very impressive stand of these, with a chess board set up at the foot of the largest tree.
Collapsing Lair: Happens to part of the Rousseaus' hangar when Reika blasts her way out of it.
Comm Links: The Heritage (as well as Reika and a few other characters) have many related versions of these. There are different types that function across different ranges, but they basically work as superior cellular phones and link-up devices.
Continuity Lockout: Well, we have a wiki of our own to hopefully prevent this, but let's put it this way. Each thread has 300 posts give or take a few, and there are over 40 threads so far . . .
Cool Starship: The Axiom, the Hoshiyomi, the Outlaw, and the Renegade.
Cyborg: Reika, and the entire population of the Heritage.
The Dark Side: Dax. He succumbed to his own dark side due to Luc striking him when he was at his absolute low point after a close series of tough and traumatic events.
Do Androids Dream?: The movie already went over this, we just confirm it's assumption. Robots ARE people here, though some of the characters still think they're just machines.
In fact, the trope-naming-question is lamp-shaded in the very first line of the RP.
Everyone Can See It: Gatrie and Candide. Everyone who has known them since they were young can see that they're perfect for each other, but they have yet to realize this for themselves. This has since changed, as the two saw it and are now an item.
Flashback: A few have been shown to vividly depict events from the past and grant a better understanding of part of how certain things in the current timeline are as they are. In particular, many of these have been shown for some of members of the Heritage.
Food Pills: The Heritage use these as a substitute for actual food given Mars' inability to grow food.
Frozen Flower: Aida, to quite an extent. She often has a cool outer demeanor, but she does have a softer, caring side that she does not usually let show. Only those that really know her are aware of this aspect of her personality.
Gentle Giant: Han-s is a large massage bot with a generally calm personality, but also has a berserker mode that he can't always control. Osm is large and tremendously powerful but dislikes using his weapons at all; not only does he hate violence, he fears damaging something he isn't supposed to. Dax also exhibited shades of this type of The Big Guy before his dark side got the better of him; he's shown in flashbacks to have been kind and tender.
The Glomp: Candide has pulled the positive version of this on Gatrie a number of times. Inwardly, he loves every instance. Tam-e has also become a glomper to many of the other characters.
Heroic Sacrifice: The loading bot Lod sacrifices himself to save a SPOT-R unit's life.
I Can Fight: Aida, determined to face Luc despite her concussion making it hard for her to do much of anything at all. After being restrained and sedated, she fights her way out of the med ward anyway, and only briefly rests when Helene can convince her that she needs to.
Last of His Kind: Pix-e, whose fellow units were dismantled; TAM-E is also the only one of her kind in existence, but this is because her fellow units were never built in the first place. Osm is also the only one of his series, due to an incident early in the Axiom's cruise that damaged the ship and crashed Auto, resulting in the hammer bot being slated for the scrapyard.
Lightning Bruiser: Reika relies on her speed in battle, but she can take a beating and hits really hard too!
Love Epiphany: This happened long ago for Gatrie and Candide, although for a while, neither had acted on their realized feelings, neither fully believing that the other could return them. The two eventually had a Love Epiphany with regards to each others feelings, and they have since become a couple. Other examples of this include Req-n and D-J, Tam-e and M-O, Auto and Pix-e, and Deuce and Shou.
Precision F-Strike: Mainly due to the rating, but the somewhat harsher swears only come out when someone is really pissed off.
Projected Man: Hazel and Shang; Serenity does too, but her holographic form is more like a fairy of some sort and she's a little over a foot tall.
Promotion to Parent: Aida with Leah and Dax with Vivian, as both sets of siblings lost both of their parents. Rene and Inez Arsene were poisoned by Luc; Yvette Legendre died on the surface of Mars during a storm; and Jacques Legendre was killed in a lab explosion.
The Rival: Aida and Dax. The two have been rivals since childhood, due to their personalities, age proximity, and family allegiances. Regardless of the history between them, the two do respect each other and are always ready to spar.
Robo Speak: Averted for Auto, who was really the only bot who spoke like that in canon. With A113 gone and his emotions freed, he still speaks fairly formally, but it's more natural-sounding. Also his RPer finds it really hard to write Robo Speak, and so came up with a compromise.
Squishy Wizard: Helene; although she's got incredible powers of concentration, she lacks stamina and strength, partly because her programming technique uses so much energy.
Super Prototype: Auto is the autopilot prototype, and his piloting abilities outshine every last one of his production model siblings. He's been outgunned once or twice, but that was more due to differences in ships rather than piloting skill.
Super Strength: Dax, Han-s, and to a lesser extent the REQ-N series, Eve, Osm, Gatrie, and Reika.
Swiss Army Appendage: Gatrie. His left lower arm is robotic and has a high number of useful tools and gadgets installed in it. Also Reika, as she has a grapple line that hasn't seen much use so far in her robotic arm.
Swiss Army Weapon: Again, Gatrie. While the enhancements in his arm are primarily tools, there are a couple of weapon-like devices installed in there too, as well as some tools that can be used as weapons.
Team Mom: Serenity for the Moonbase, PR-T for the Axiomians, Helene for the Heritage.
Took a Level in Badass: Helene thanks to learning some defensive and disarming techniques from Reika.
Triang Relations: Type 4 at the start of the RP, with Auto having unrequited love for Eve, but she obviously still only has optics for Wall-E.
Truly Single Parent: Reika, though justified as all her 'children' are robots.
Tsundere: Pix-e, Cind-e. Tam-e towards the start of the RP.
Unstoppable Rage: Han-s. Whenever various factors can cause him to become stressed to a certain point, he enters his berserker mode.
Victorious Childhood Friend: Gatrie and Candide. The two have been friends since they were toddlers, but only after they grew up and developed an even deeper friendship did they fully realize and act on their feelings for each other. They had each known that they loved the other at least 10 years prior to their relationship becoming a truly romantic one, but until Gatrie admitted his feelings for Candide, neither had acted for fear of losing the other as a friend.
Waif-Fu: Vivian Legendre, a slender 12-year-old standing around 5'3", is capable of throwing one teenage guy against a wall and breaking another's nose without any great effort. Justified in that she's grown up training with Dax.
Webcomic Time: The RP's been going for a year and a half, we've progressed about a week RP-time in that period.
We Can Rebuild Him: Dax. After he was caught in a serious tunnel collapse, the damage to his nerves, muscles, and bones forced his lower legs to be replaced by robotic ones He was already tough and durable to begin with, but the involuntary enhancements have made him even more so.
Wham Episode: The Mars Raid at the end of Season 1 was a definitive Wham Episode full of several plot twists, surprises revealed, and it set the Story Arc on track for Season 2.
The second Mars raid was even more of a Wham Episode than the first one was.
You Can Barely Stand: Pix-e's determination to switch off Madam despite being outmatched, injured and recovering from a virus.
Your Mom: Invoked by Pix-e in an early taunt to Auto: "Your mother was a solar-powered calculator!" Ironically, elsewhere, Reika notices this disturbance in the force.
Zeroes and Ones: The 29th century has computers and robots all over the place. Binary abounds.
