We Are Our Author Avatars is a Spin-Off of We Are Our Avatars, where players play their Author Avatars. The name is now known as "Across Universes". Likewise with the Discussion and Sign-Up Sheet as well.The narrative is broken up into universes which feature the same characters but playing out an appropriate role for their universe. Occasionally the perspective shifts to another Alternate Universe. The themes so far.
Normalverse: a group of old friends all end up on a previously deserted island. Everyone knows eachother but they're not sure how.
Fantasyverse: A village is destroyed and all the members are forced to flee. They quest to find a new home and make profit after their adventures.
Neotokyoverse: A city centuries into the future. Technology had greatly advanced and high tech deliverymen called Railers complete missions throughout the city, while Soul Hacker's investigate paranormal activity.
Superheroverse: A city filled with crime superheroes and supervillains. Both the police and the superpowerd vigilantes work to combat the constantly escaping criminal underground.
Pokeverse: In the setting of the Pokémon games, specifically Kanto. A mysterious Team Universe is arriving throughout the region, with unclear goals but dangerous tactics. But the Pokemon world still runs as usual despite all this.
Pirateverse: Captain Beat and her crewmates are currently travelling the world. They stop in the port town of San Jorge for a raid only to meet complications by the Navy. Turns into a hunt for Plot Coupons held by a different kind of monster.
Christmasverse: Happy holidays. A world where all the Winter holidays interact.
Greekverse: Ancient Grome. The God's play with mortals. Sending them on quest to prove themselves worthy.
Futureverse: The gang's part of a Star Trek like organization which keeps the peace.
Artifact Title: The prominance of a wide variety of characters means that the Author Avatar is no longer the most important character. Actually addressed with the changing of the name to Across Universes.
Anti-Villain: Superheroverse and Pokeverse Norma. Pirateverse Rhyme.
Ascended Extra: Norma Bates in Superheroverse was only meant as a replacement character while Rhyme Beat couldn't logically use her Author Avatar. Gregory Kill and Estelle also qualify to an extent.
A Wild Drake Warrior and Enix Warrior appeared!
Attractive Bent Gender: Dana has actually had more boyfriends than her male counterpart.
Casting a Shadow: Norma's Pokemon team and superpowers. Hydronix's Team.
Berserk Button: Hydronix hates thieves. The trainer who appeared at the scene of the crime? He sent out his Charmeleon to attack the trainer head on, ignoring the rules he faithfully follows.
In Pirateverse, Rhyme won't stand for anyone threatening 'Nix.
Brilliant, but Lazy: Xavier refuses to train or get any long term career but once he's prompted to try he isn't bad at all.
Clark Kenting: To the point that some officers didn't even realize the Police Chief was Aria. Estelle Marsh in the Pirateverse put on a wig and some makeup, and even her former lover didn't recognize her.
Cruel and Unusual Death: Maenads fit this to a T. If you're lucky they'll kill you can serve you to thier customers. If you're unlucky you'll be eaten alive. Happened again with Joan.
Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Rhyme questions why she resorts to piracy in the middle of a sucessful performance.
Cycle of Revenge: The rounds between Dana and Dave in Horrorverse destroyed both of their lives.
Darker and Edgier: Horroverse is the darkest universe in the RP as of yet.
Death by Irony: The Emperor is dispatched with in a similar manner to the way he dealt with the Minotaur.
Deliberate Values Dissonance: The treatment of Xavier's crime (Sodomy) as equivalent to piracy. Wildwestverse Rhyme's views also qualify.
Demonic Possession: In Wildwestverse both the living and dead can be possessed. Notably Wild West James was a corpse which underwent possession. All the living members.... were played with.
Dishing Out Dirt: Golems in Pirateverse, Enix is some other universes.
Even Evil Has Standards: Rhyme doesn't like slaveholders at all. She's also a bit uncomfortable with Xavier's sexual harassment of the cleric.
Xavier himself is a bit of a sadist who enjoys getting to kill his enemies, but he doesn't like taking innocent lives.
Subverted with pre operation Noirverse Dana. Rhyme was counting on the fact that she'd be unwilling to shoot a pregnant woman. She was wrong.
Goliath would love to kill his creator and wear his skin for a shawl. He will spy on him constantly and will have no problems targeting his friends. But he draws a line watching him with his new girlfriend...
Gender Flip: In some worlds. In Neo Tokyo, Etheru and Hilarity are female, Rhyme is male.
Gender is No Object: Apparent in Fantasyverse and Pirateverse. Subverted in Wild West verse as Norma got her position through her father's interference.
Incest Is Relative: Dana has an interest in a threesome between herself, Drake, and Meter. Drake approves provided he doesn't know of his relation to the latter.
Irony: The first pirate to fully collapse is 'Nix himself, and the other crew has to team-up to carry him to the medic. Why's it ironic? He could carry any one of them himself.
The reason 'Nix was so badly damaged? Rhyme went into a panic attack (and thus Siren Form) because Norma was threatening him.
Manipulative Bastard: Ajay is slowly manipulating his way to catching the Mercury pirates.
The Medic: Ozbourne "Ozzie" always ends up as this.
Mega Manning: Etheru's got this ability, he hasn't made use of it yet, partly to not having opponents that match him or opponents to copy.
Moment Killer: Grim "Anubis" Reaper is the master of this.
Mood Whiplash: Christmasverse starts right after Estelle's execution.
In wildwest verse, right after Meter finds out her mother commited suicide to break her contract Kevin walks in and announces that he's found a way to nullify the contract without having to break it.
Mutually Fictional: The Alternate universe explanation is the given one.
Mythology Gag / Fan Nickname: Since Pirateverse, characters(mainly Rhyme's) have started calling Hydronix 'Nix instead. As for the troper himself, he prefers Hydro.
Official Couple: Romantic attreactions tend to stick across universes so far... Rhyme x Dave, the Ajay vs. James x Norma Love Triangle, Meter x Mathias/Mathis/Mathew, and Dana x Drake vs. Nick. There's also, sometimes, Jack x Lance.
Plot Armor: If you're an Author Avatar, you can't die/be erased from existence. No matter what you act like. This rule was removed with the Artifact Title.
Quicksand Box: Some players left due to feeling that there was too much freedom, to the point there is no way to know what to do
Red Shirt / Mauve Shirt: Both 'Nix and Dave bringing the latter to constantly fear for his life. Norma wised up to this after Dave's second near death and assigned scientists literal mauve shirts.
Ret Gone: The compression created by Maestras machinations with the core has this unfortunate side effect As poor storybook Dave found out to his horror
Revenge Before Reason: In a sense Norma is Pirateverse. Beat though difficult to catch isn't a particularly dangerous pirate, but Norma is still chasing her because she believes Rhyme killed her boyfriend. Also Wildwestverse Nick.
Storyverse Dave takes it too far when He nearly kills Colum after Maestra almost wipes Dave out
Same Sex Triplets: Subverted with Identical twins James and David Shine, with fraternal Dana Shine as the third sibling.
Spell My Name with an S: Rhyme Beat somehow finds new ways to spell her own name wrong in-game, especially during the Pirateverse. Constantly joked about, but all in good fun.
Straight Gay: Xavier isn't particularly flaming despite the Fire based team in Pokeverse.
Jack Beat is this in Christmasverse. Though he's not as apparent about it as Xavier, hoo boy.
Status Quo Is God: Invoked far too often, to the point of being unrealistic because of how the game works. When an Universe changes, everybody comes into the new one as new characters. Apparently some characters act like this isn't the case.
Theme Naming: Members of Team Universe are named after Pokemon types, but not the primary type they use. The soldiers of San Jorge are named after generals in the American Civil War (save for Norma Bates.)
The Guards just have a rank via a number. So far, only one seems to have a real name. Seems to be the case for monsters as well. Just by their race or occupation.
With the exception of Sirens who have musical Themes.
The one and only birds of pray! though technically a Dove is not much of a bird of pray...
Seems to be Ajay's plan so far, in the same universe, no less.
The Reveal: Done both by 'Nix and Ajay to different characters about their identities in pirateverse. Then with 'Nix again as the head of the Dragon Clan.
Dana as the murderer of her brother and Penny in Noriverse,
The Stoic: 'Nix is usually calm, though he rathers enjoys his Jester persona.
Tangled Family Tree: The Warrior family. Counting the in-laws nearly all the cast is there somewhere.
