We Are Our Adventuring Avatars (full title ITT: We Are Our Adventuring Avatars) is a Play By Post Forum Game on the TV Tropes Forum and a spin-off of the original We Are Our Avatars. It focus more on story driven role playing.Originally made because of several players interest from the original WAOA, a second topic was created as We Are Our Epic Avatars but due to lack of interest at the time, it slowly stagnated until it was reborn under a new name. At the moment, it's still relatively new with over 40000 posts but is steadily growing in size. New players can leap right in, provided they read the rules and at least introduce themselves.Obviously, this page is in dire need of Wiki Magic and help in order to grow. Character Sheet is up, but Crowning Moments of Funny, Heartwarming and Awesome have also been added, as well as YMMV and a Recap Page.
This thread provides examples of...
Aborted Arc: The assassin side plot with Amaya and Rhyme.
Always Someone Better: The Metas are national example compared to other factions. Most large scale civilizations such as the Terran Alliance are lucky to rule most of a galaxy but the Metas rule an entire dimension.
A Nazi by Any Other Name: Stasis, an alicorn, wants to rule Equestria as a perfect world. In other words, a Communist autocrat.
And I'm the Queen of Sheba: An apathetic and sarcastic Cipher Brotherhood mook told this to a GDI Commando.
Mook: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I'm the King of England."
Apocalypse How: Summoning the Horsemen of the Apocalypse will allow the denizens of hell and heaven to return to the world of the living, but destroying the world (read planet) they're on in the process.
Arch-Enemy: The group and David Asmodius Shine, Wraith also qualifies.
Little Bit Beastly: The animal-based Gijinka. Imca Juniper (Glaceon), Luca Juniper (Lucario), Chibi (wolf), and later, Colonel Adam Longram (wolf), are prime examples.
Artifact of Doom: The Great Game's Master Key, Fassad, can exploit the holder's desire (usually greed), so it can plunge multiple worlds in chaos.
Imca is not natural, but rather artificially created, and while mostly squishy and quite like a normal gijinka, even if she is synthetic, does have some electrical bits in her head.
Mina, a protosapien clone, is created in an artificial womb as a supersoldier. Her cybernetics inside her are biomechanical which grows alongside her body.
Autodoc: If any of the group's medic aren't availble when needed most, the TDN-Trinity's Autodocs can heal the patient no matter how severe the injury, especially when they replaced body parts with advanced cybernetics.
Awesome, but Impractical: The Elements of Harmony, they have the power to eliminate or remove evil or corruption but it requires no more than six people for it to work and syncing with them is harder than it looks for some people (especially Saru), and it only fires once.
Badass Crew/Elite Army: The Hellfire Brigade, a battalion of US marines under the command of Colonel Longram. Justified since they used to be soldiers of the Enclave.
To a greater extent, the group itself qualifies.
Base on Wheels: The Hellfire Brigade's main base of operations, the Cattle Star.
Wraith, although her target is the group alone at the moment.
Big Bad Ensemble: Dave and cocompany, Wraith, and the Cipher Brotherhood all oppose the group and each of them have their own goals. Dave doing it out of revenge, Wraith because she's doing it as a hobby, and the Cipher Brotherhood viewed them as a (varying) threat to their god snatching operations.
Bridge Bunnies: A few of the youkai (in sailor fuku wear) from Gensokyo operate the bridge with Captain Murasa as the helmsman.
The Cameo: Bass appears as a joke feeling a common trait of Etheru's (characters "blanking"), only to not care.
City of Weirdos: Jollywood. The inhabitants of the city considered giant monsters, sentient buildings, talking animals, and other strange events to be part of the norm.
Continuity Reboot: Happened on the fifth of March, the "in-universe" justification for that is when an unknown virus broke the fourth wall, forcing the powers that be to reboot the timeline.
Cool Starship: The TDN-Mobius and later, the TDN-Terra's Blessing. After the Terra's Blessing destruction, the TDN-Trinity took its place.
Corrupt Corporate Executive: Several but subverted by Modern!Kanako, CEO of Moriya Industries. Also subverted when a bunch of Jolllywood CEO's turned out to be only evil when possessed by Fassad.
Creator Backlash: Mr. Kirb admits that his Modern Touhou characters and the location aren't that good in retrospect and he is planning to give them a cosmic retool into something else in a future mini-arc.
Sunova/Imca isn't fond of Amaya despite being a love interest to two major characters.
Creator Breakdown: Imca/Sunova used to make plots but due to unexpected failure from the players, she quits in making plots anymore.
Quite a few players quit or nearly quit at some point in the Roleplay, due to bad communication between the players or players simply not feeling welcome.
Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: Averted, the Cybernetic characters Eve and Longram are more calm and level headed then a lot of the fully biological ones.
Cyberpunk Rhyme and Dave/Mike's Homeworld Cyber New York. A world still researching breakthroughs in cybernetics, where most of the population are choosing to alter themselves. There is also Hard Light technology to some extent and medical breakthroughs that can combat brain tumors and allow for Homosexual Reproduction.
Darker and Edgier: Some of the players believe the overall tone of WAOAA is darker than WAOA.
Lighter and Softer: Though recent developments are seeing it be somewhat lighter, though this may change in the future.
Dark Horse Victory/DidntSeeThatComing: Although the Great Game ended with no winners, a group of mysterious information brokers ruined the group's reputation by media manipulation, making him/her the sole winner of the game.
Death World: Orbis Antiqui, the world itself doesn't try to kill the colonists, the wildlife does.
Depleted Phlebotinum Shells: The Terran Alliance developed a variety of special ammunition, whenever if it's supernatural beings, demons, angels, machines, aliens, mutants, monsters, and even gods.
The "Terran Alliance God Killers" in particular work by encasing the target in a unique, liquid metal, that once it hardens begins to partially fade from reality as a result it is immune to reality warping, trapping the target inside a metal statue for all of eternity, This metal is formed from subspace bore use, and as such is highly radioactive, and very dangerous on the spacial scale, even capable of causing rift storms if large quantities are present in one area, since it should not completely exist.
Fugit: "I may be a bit of a creep but killing kids is not my style..."
Empathic Weapon: The Elements of Harmony are only usable if they sync up to people with the appropriate personality types. After that they have the power to seal evil or remove corruption.
Fantasy Kitchen Sink: Considering this game's a massive crossover, this trope is inevitable.
The Federation: The Terran Alliance, the group's main benefactor and major ally.
Fiction 500: MoriyaIndustries is so absurdly rich that they remodel a extremely tall skyscraper into a vacation spot for executives and that doesn't dent their coffers.
Wraith is known to have plenty of wealth, enough to hire armies of mercenaries.
Homosexual Reproduction: Ovida is a drug that leads to mutated polar bodies in women, allowing a Lesbian couple to have children genetically theres. Rhyme was born when her mother Carlie was on drug trials for it.
Hyperactive Metabolism: Terran cyborgs, of which Eve, Amaya, Malak, Blues, along with Longram and Should are included, need a diet high in Protein, Sugars, and Carbs to survive. They can get this through a diet of lots of Meat and Sugary food, or with the Terran issued Cyberboost bars.
Immortality/The Ageless: Anyone who get military grade Terran cyborg enhancements will be virtually immortal from old age (Type II). However they can killed by external forces such as severe injuries such as multiple gunshots. They can't die from natural causes.
Leave Behind a Pistol: After Zagerus was defeated, the Desired One comes to his "rescue". She betrayed him by stealing his immortality via kiss and to show mercy, she left behind a desert eagle and a pickaxe.
Lost Technology: The Protosapiens' creations. One example is the VSS-Hephaestus (AKA the mysterious moonship) which houses a treasure trove full of them and the ship itself IS Lost Technology that can build them.
Magic Knight : Several, Like Ghost, Eliko, Xion, and Rhyme.
Mama Bear/Papa Wolf: Longram and Eve adopted a cloned human alien they later name Mina. If your a villain and you endanger their daughter, bring a coffin, because what's your going in once your dead. And using their parental wrath to lure them into a trap but all it seemed to do was piss them off. This also applies to their subordinates.
Mechanical Lifeforms : Metallux is a member of a naturally evolved race of machines, Lockheed evolved from junk...literally.
Minor Crime Reveals Major Plot: The Great Game's existence was revealed through this and its true purpose: A failed attack on a frontier town —> A secret war among rich and powerful people who fight over eight keys for a wish —> A plot to plunge multiple words into chaos by an evil talking key.
Elite Mooks: The 1st Hellfire Brigade themselves are elite mooks.
Gas Mask Mooks: The Cipher Troopers are described to having their designs look like this. On the Group's side: The Hellfire Brigade's Riot Gears have lower tech versions of the gas masks but only used by specialists or if power armor isn't a good option for the troops.
Heavily Armored Mook: The Hellfire Marines, most soldiers from the Terran Alliance, and the Cipher Troopers.
Morality Kitchen Sink: Some characters such as Twilight Sparkle, and Team Sonic are the most purely heroic characters; the military characters are of A Lighter Shade of Grey, especially since one of them used to commit at least one war crime; NAIA as a whole are anti-heroes are best; most of the villains are of a darker shade of grey; finally, the only darkest one of them all is the Cipher Brotherhood who are at best, Well-Intentioned Extremist.
Muggles Do It Better: Modern and futuristic weaponry can take down almost anyone and anything.
Night of the Living Mooks: In the Zombie mini-Arc, the group has to survive a zombie outbreak, some of the variations can get downright strange, some wear power armor, and others are capable of magic.
Oddly Small Organization: The Eight Crew, headed by Ex-Rumia, consisted of four members (or six you count the mysterious photos on Reimu's hit list.). They may be small but they are extremely dangerous when comes to direct combat.
Order Versus Chaos: Essentially there are two Evil Gods of Equestria Discord, who represents total chaos, and Stasis who represents total order. Needless to say it is not a good idea to let either one win.
Our Angels Are Different: Rhyme is an angel from The World Ends With You canon, meaning that she's a member of a hive mind of angels who are primarily interested in creativity. Ironically she's in love with a demon.
Ace Custom: The 1st Hell Brigade's power armor sets are customized by the wearer's preference, making them different from the standard issue type used by the main forces. Another distinctive attribute to their armor are the asymmetrical red shoulders.
Eve wears a black set of terran commando armor, most sets are blue or camo, it also has a slit on the left arm and ports along the arms to account for the weapons in her cybernetics.
On the villainous side: The Cipher Troopers wearing the Superiority Protection Gear armor series, the successor to the New American Empire's Frontline Gear armor series.
Pragmatic Villainy : Wraith sees her villainy as a business, the reason she attacks the group though there simply her favorite entertainment, even business people need a hobby.
Wraith: "This is a business people, we are not here to get your shits and giggles from kicking puppies..."
Private Military Contractors: Several. One of them is the Ex Assemble, a PMC that consist of Squeshions who were used to be part of the empire's commando unit.
Proud Merchant Race Guy: The Dracos, wealthy humanoid dragons who are captains of various industries.
Put on a Bus Twilight Sparkle, Vanguard, and Six, though they do occasionally have their own plotlines seperate from everything else.
Rescue Arc: One of the main goals in one RTS inspired plot, rescuing Eve and Longram's adoptive daughter, Mina Longram.
Ridiculously Human Robots : Ridiculously common. Dave, Glados, Glados, Zergus, Wraith, Yuzuki, Yuriko, Eliko just to name a few.
Robot Girl : A fairly common character type. Glados, Wraith, Yuzuki, Yuriko, Eliko, Blessing, and Sunny (her true body, not the one often seen) are all examples.
Reverse Mole : Two of Daves underlings, Archer and Yuriko were working for The Metas and NAIA respectively all along.
One revolver type in paticular is the rare NAIA Werewolf model, powerful as a sniper-rifle, bypasses armor, range of a sniper rifle, rate of fire of a battle rifle, holds 8 rounds, and it costs around the trillions to just build one. It is considered an Infinity–1 Sword and only 20 exist total so far. Wraith owned one of them.
Secret War: The first story arc revolves around the Great Game, a multi-dimensional conflict played by the rich and powerful which supposed to be hidden from the public. However the group found out about it's existence which motivates the protagonists to end it permanently in their favor. In the end, nobody wins, not even the group who stops the game. Not only that one villain ruined the the group's rep out of spite.
Sapient Ship: The TDN Terra's Blessing and the TDN Mobius.
The Protosapiens are a tribute to the Firstborn, the first race to gain sentience.
MARJORINE deleted her emotions to gather more data efficiently, which Etheru has, quite a few times, clarified that this was inspired by Perceptor of Transformers Animated.
"Like A Boss" by The Lonely Island plays on the radio after Sunny mentioned that Eve drives like the Boss.
Spaceship Girl: The TDN Mobius has a catgirl gynoid as an avatar, and the TDN Terra's Blessing also had a catgirl, that it gave to Blues, The TDN Trinity has a dragon girl one.
Steampunk: The resort city of Velestia run on it along with crystal powered magitek.
Story Breaker Power: Before a rule that was recently set up, some contenders:
The group has a lot of outside support, making the risk of enemies being too anticlimactic or otherwise unsatisfying in defeat. Somewhat recently mitigated, as of now, as budget cuts have happened.
NOIR-01, whose power level, as detailed on the Paranoia Fuel entry, is nigh-instantly hacking into any computer, as well as the fact he's immortal, has survived the heat death, and is a time traveler.
Super Persistent Missile : Malak's aircraft comes equipped "XAAM-91 Adaptive Remote AI Missile System" Or Araims, because Terran anti missile defenses are so effective making missiles useless and guns they preferred air combat weapon, these were developed, how ever 8 micro missiles launching at once, all linked together and to an AI in the plane, with visual recognition and very high maneuverability means they just will not go away once launched.
Take That: The Jollywood Executives' jerkass and greedy personalities when possessed by Fassad is a slam against Executive Meddling and related topics.
When Luca & Imca played the data log of the Mass Effect 3 ending, people don't take it well. Not only they considered how stupid it was, they saw results of it killing almost everyone in the galaxy.
Talking Weapon: More like talking armor, Eve's armor has an AI named Lilly in it, although it can only talk to people wearing the armor.
Token Evil Teammate: Mad Scientist Dave was part of the group for some time. His villainy however has made him an enemy of the group.
Token Good Teammate: Modern!Kanako may be a snake but unlike her teammates in her own team, she's the only genuinely nice one of all the Great Game players.
Toon Town: Jollywood, Hollywood mixed with Toon Town.
Transhuman: The central theme in the Terran Alliance dominated locations is portraying cybernetics as a positive thing.
Pro Human Transhuman: Some of the cyborg protagonists with cybernetics didn't mind having them.
Transplant: Characters that players used in WAOA or in other games are not uncommon to appear in this game. Etheru also considers bringing in some of his old characters.
Etheru's finally brought in MARJORINE, Ami, Jitterbee, and Ruchifer.
Unusual User Interface: Almost all Terrans have a neural data tool allowing them to use a computer by thinking instead of typing, all played ones do have one of these.
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: There are a few characters in this RP that are less than respectful of AIs. These people are always portrayed negatively.
