!! Tropes present in this hypothetical game:
[[folder: Gameplay Tropes]]
* ArmorPiercingAttack: Calia's diamond shards penetrate most material armor, because they are well, ''diamonds''.
* BottomlessMagazines: Justified for Calia's guns, they run on her Mana which she constantly produces. AC's projectiles [[spoiler: run on the Meta energy he draws from Metaspace]].
* CounterAttack[=/=]DefendCommand: Characters have the ability to defend/dodge/counter an incoming attack at the press of a button.
* DecoyProtagonist: AC. He's the protagonist until [[spoiler: he turns into a Meta and is revealed to be an Enforcer. You still get to play as him, however.]]
* FlechetteStorm: Quite a number of Calia's attacks produce this.
* GuestStarPartyMember: President Rayfer, who fights in a PoweredArmor and a HumongousMecha in order to save his daughter from terrorists and an evil scientist.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: AC uses a sword, Calia uses a gun. Female Gifted are more proficient at magic than males to the point of being [[PersonOfMassDestruction destructive]], but males have SuperStrength, SuperSpeed and can use their powers to enhance their attacks.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: AC can do this with his blades, while Calia uses [[GemstoneAssault crystal spikes]] to do this.
* OneHitKill: All characters have one, which does a LUDICROUS amount of damage, more than 100x the final boss' health. They are usually AwesomeButImpractical, given the startup time and ease of avoidance. However, even bosses are ''not immune'' to these.
* PressXToNotDie: Certain enemy attacks can be countered by pressing a button for the character to block.
* TakenForGranite: Calia's [[GemstoneAssault gem-based attacks]] do this to a tangible enemy, instantly killing them. Seems like a StoryBreakerPower until you face against force-fielded troops whose energy armor is unaffected, as well as [[spoiler: Metas and Arcane beings, which are EnergyBeings and are thus immune]].
** On the bright side, the player gets to give certain opponents that horrible [[VideoGame/{{Earthbound}} Diamondized status]] to their enemies.
* WallJump: AC can do this in battle if there is a wall nearby.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Character Tropes]]
* ActionGirl: Calia Rayfer after the TimeSkip.
* AntiHero: Both AC and Calia have no qualms about killing villains (or erasing them from existence in the former, or turning their body into a crystalline SoulJar for eternity in the latter).
* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler: AC is actually one, created by the Enforcers to infiltrate Terra.]]
* {{Badass}}: AC.
* BadassNormal: AC in the beginning. Subverted as he soon gets powers after the TimeSkip.
** Soldier B.
* BodyguardCrush: AC to Calia. She [[AllLoveIsUnrequited doesn't return the feelings]], though, because she's in love with her childhood friend. [[spoiler: It doesn't matter anyway because AC loses his feelings of romantic love.]]
* BodyguardingABadass: After the TimeSkip, Calia becomes a badass like her bodyguard AC himself.
* BodyToJewel: Calia's tears and blood turn into diamonds and rubies. Too bad that it's near-impossible to make her cry after the TimeSkip, and if you make her bleed, she will make you suffer AFateWorseThanDeath.
** [[BlessedWithSuck Unfortunately for her]], her sweat turns into glass, resulting in cuts all over her body after strenous activity.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: AC. [[spoiler: Then he finds out that he wasn't born at all.]]
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Subverted. [[spoiler: Turning into a technological EnergyBeing does cause AC to lose his ability to feel romantic love, but this does not tak away his capacity for niceness.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Calia. She wasn't like this when she was younger, but multiple kidnappings had broke her and made her very cynical.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: AC, because [[spoiler: he loses his ability to feel romantic love]].
* DistressedDamsel: Calia. She gets kidnapped in the prologue chapter and the next one!
* DoomedByCanon: [[spoiler: Soldier B will get turned into an Enforcer by the Enforcer Leader and erased by the heroes in ''31st soldier''.]]

* FlyingSeafoodSpecial: Chris resembles an eagle ray made up of crystal.
* GoodGirlGoneBad: Calia UsedToBeASweetKid until enough abductions [[BreakTheCutie broke her]]. She grew up to be a rather cold woman.
* GoodParents: President Rayfer towards his daughter. Although [[OverprotectiveDad overprotective]] when it comes to her interactions with men, he does show that he is proud of her and even ''supports'' her joining the army for the greater good of the Universal Federation. In return, [[DaddysGirl she shows her love back]].
* HotBlooded: Soldier B.
* HeroesPreferSwords: AC uses {{Laser Blade}}s in combat.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: AC when he finds out that he is slowly transforming into a soulless program.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Calia, but [[SugarAndIcePersonality only to her comrades in the army]]. It gets quite bad, though- she uses her heritage and (later) her half-god status to boss the soldiers around. The Federation soldiers find her [[ToServeMan man-eating]] GuardianEntity ''nicer'' than her and don't hesitate to tell it to her face.
** [[IceQueen Ice President's Daughter]]
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's shown as being NiceToTheWaiter, although in a rather emotionless kind of way.

* OneNoteCook: Calia can only prepare cold dishes. Any food that requires heat (even microwaved food) [[LethalChef goes badly]] for her.
* OverprotectiveDad: President Rayfer, especially because his little girl gets kidnapped so often. The only reason why Calia is in the army is because she herself requested it, and also because she is one of the very few people who has the ability, mindset and training to stop rogue Gifted.
* [[OurPresidentsAreDifferent President Badass]]: President Rayfer. Instead of worrying when his daughter is kidnapped, he goes out in a mech to kick her kidnappers' asses.
* ThePresidentsDaughter: Calia Rayfer, who gets kidnapped for her status as well as for her powers and her [[SuperhumanTransfusion blood]]. Even after the TimeSkip, she is still under threat of getting kidnapped.

* ShapingYourAttacks: AC and his light/electricity blades. He can also throw HardLight spinning blade projectiles.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: Calia has grown from a cute little girl in the prologue into a pretty woman after the time skip. AC grew from a cute-ish young teenager into a handsome adult.
* SnowMeansCold: Inverted with Calia whose crystal-generation abilities generate a field of diamond dust snow around her, which causes the air around her to become cold.
* SpiderSense: AC and Calia have toned-down versions. Both of them are only able to detect physical action.
** AC can see everything around him (even through walls) is a 1-kilometre radius.
** Calia subconsciously fills the air with diamond dust within a radius of her. She senses the movement of these ice particles to detect objects and entities.
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: AC.
* SupremeChef: AC can cook very well. [[CordonBleughChef Unfortunately, he sometimes uses ingredients that really shouldn't be used]].
* TookALevelInBadass: Calia grows from a DistressedDamsel into an ActionGirl. This is due to not wanting to face the trauma of getting kidnapped anymore.

[[folder: Storyline Tropes]]
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: [[spoiler: AC as a meta takes on a humanoid form. Calia's mother did this to romance President Rayfer and give birth to their child.]]

* AlienInvasion: [[spoiler: Both the Enforcer Metas and Arcane beings do this against Terra]].
* BackgroundMagicField: Gifted create one in battle due to their Mana-production abilities.
* BeastlyBloodsports: A scenario like this happens, except it's with Gifted and their [[GuardianEntity Guardians]]. You eventually shut down the ring and the operation.
* BondCreatures: Guardians to their Gifted. Even stronger bond than family, for the creature is part of the Gifted themself.
* BreathWeapon: Arcanes and the Arcane halves of Gifted that have a mouth are able to use this. Known as “Divine Breath” and varies depending on the user's powers.
** HandBlast: Human forms of Arcanes and the human halves of Gifted can project the same attack via their hands.
* DatingCatwoman: Calia and her boyfriend, [[spoiler: who is the son of a MadScientist plotting to kidnap her to use her blood to create {{Super Soldier}}s. After she kills his father in self-defence, he tries to ruin her life as revenge, even though he still loves her]].
* DeathIsCheap: For Gifted and Metas.
** A Gifted can only be truly killed if both the human and Guardian halves are destroyed. Otherwise, one will regenerate the other.
** Metas can easily spring back into existence once Metaspace re-creates their body.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler: The FinalBoss of the Good Ending are the PhysicalGods who created the Gifted]].
* DirtyBusiness: [[spoiler: As a direct order from her father, Calia turns an entire planet into lifeless crystal to prevent a viral HordeOfAlienLocusts from escaping and dooming the galaxy. She feels [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone very horrible]] about it later, and actually ''cries''.]]
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler: Even though he pulled a FaceHeelTurn, AC requests to fight alongside Calia to defeat the Arcane beings if you choose not to join the Enforcers or Arcanes]].
* EnergyBeings: Metas and Arcane Beings.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: AC, who finally turns into a Meta and is revealed to be an Enforcer.]]

* FriendlyEnemy: [[spoiler: AC becomes one if you refuse to side with the Enforcers.]]
* HalfHumanHybrid: Gifted are the offspring of magical god-like energy beings and humans. Instead of existing as a single being, though, they exist as two separate beings that share a soul.
* HorrorHunger: Gifted occasionally suffer from this due to their Arcane half's liking for human flesh.
* HumanAliens: The Terrans are actually descended from {{artificial human}}s created by Metas.
* HumanPopsicle: One of Calia's threats to her enemies or misbehaving subordinates.
-->“Stop it. Unless you love being in an ice block for 1000 years.”
* JerkassGods: [[spoiler: The Arcane beings are godly entities from another dimension who have children with noble individuals of Terra, in order for their children to kill/transform the population and take over.]]
* LightIsGood: AC's attacks do Light-elemental damage, and he's the hero.
** LightIsNotGood: [[spoiler: If you choose not to ally with the Enforcers, he becomes a powerful adversary.]]
* LivingBattery: Gifted are able to produce Mana. Thankfully, their energy is harvested by machines that collect it from the BackgroundMagicField they produce. AC also takes up a part-time job as one because of his electrical powers.
* {{Magitek}}: Much of it is developed between the TimeSkip.
* TheMagicVersusTechnologyWar: The war between the anti-human Gifted and the anti-Gifted Terrans. [[spoiler: And the War between Arcane beings and Enforcer Metas]].
* MagicVersusScience: Magic is capable of doing many things that science is unable to do, but science is much easier to create, use, and is more widespread.
-->"How did she make all that diamond appear in seconds!?”
-->”We've got machines that can do the same...”
-->”Our machines are HUGE compared to that lady, and it takes a lot longer for them to do that!”
* MissingMom: Calia's mother left to an unknown place when she was very young. [[spoiler: Her
mother comes back along with her grandmother, who tries to destroy the planet.]]
* {{Mons}}: One part of the game has the characters bust an illegal battling ring where the contestants are Gifted that use their Guardians to fight each other. It turns to be quickly lethal as many of them '''die''' after having both their Guardian and themselves killed.
* MonsterProtectionRacket: You encounter a Gifted who does this with his Guardian. His monster eats a few innocent people before he “kills” it, allowing him to gain fame as well as a free meal of souls. You stop him by killing both him his “monster” for real, ending his life.
* MugglesDoItBetter: Subverted. Magic is clearly stronger than regular technology that most Terrans use. However, creating a Gifted is ''much'' harder to do than creating technology.
** [[MagicFromTechnology Meta Technology]], on the other hand is just about as strong.
* MultipleEndings: [[spoiler: Depending on whether you side with the Enforcers, Arcanes, or neither.]]
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: In-story. Many of the planets, space stations and spaceships in Terra's solar system get named after Gifted children.
--> AC: “Whose idea was it to name cool things after '''''cute little girls!?'''''”
* ParentalAbandonment: AC's [[MissingMom mother is missing]] and his [[DisappearedDad father is dead]]. [[spoiler: Those are only his adopted parents, he is an ArtificialHuman]].
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Gifted have the potential to '''nuke planets''' with ease. The only thing holding them back is their own morality.
* PlanetTerra: Terra 102 is an earth-like planet... on the outside. The inside is mechanical with a central core (with no sentient AI, lest it [[AIIsACrapshoot go berserk]])
* RageAgainstTheHeavens: When Calia finds out what her mother's and the Arcanes' true intentions are, she does not take it well because she wants both Gifted and humans to exist in harmony.
* ScienceFantasy: The premise is about magical powers being introduced in a futuristic environment.
* ShoutOut:
** President Rayfer kicking ass in a mech is an obvious one to ''VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos''.
** Calia plays a LightGunGame with a storyline similar to the first ''VideoGame/TimeCrisis'', with the president's daughter getting kidnapped. Even more funny because the game's DistressedDamsel IS a younger version of Calia herself!
--> Calia, after beating the game easily: “Even I know how to save myself.”
* SingleTargetSexuality: Gifted have this- once they find a partner, they will only love and have sex with that partner until the end of their life.
* SpringIsLate: After the time skip, President Rayfer's estate is surrounded by a perpetual magically-created winter.
-->"Well, I'm sorry that it snows 24/7!"
* TellMeAboutMyFather: AC asks various people in the Federation about his parents. They tell him that his dad died in a war. [[spoiler: They're right, but they don't tell him that it was his ''adoptive'' father]]. Meanwhile, Calia wishes to know about her mother, who her father hides most of the details of.
* TimeSkip: Between the prologue and the first chapter, as well as the first chapter and the second.
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: This hits both AC and Calia hard when they have to either glass a planet infested by a fast-spreading [[TheVirus viral]] HordeOfAlienLocusts and kill all the uninfected on it, or let the uninfected escape but also allow the rapidly-evolving viral creatures leave the planet. ** [[spoiler: Calia goes with the lawful decision after her dad orders it, turning everything on the planet (including the planet itself) into lifeless crystal. AC does not take it well.]]
* TomatoInTheMirror:
** [[spoiler: Calia finds out that she isn't human- she's [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human]], [[SemiDivine half-Arcane]]. She was born from an InterspeciesRomance between the president and a PhysicalGod.]]
** [[spoiler: AC is actually an ArtificialHuman who was created to slowly turn into a [[SufficientlyAdvancedAlien Meta]], losing part of his humanity as he does so.]]
* ToServeMan: The Arcane beings eat sentient beings for their souls, which is why they have demanded sacrifice from their worshippers. Unfortunately, this means that the Guardian half of a Gifted gets cravings for humans.
* TwoBeingsOneBody: Gifted are comprised of a Terran human half and an Arcane half (known as a Guardian), both of which can think and act separately. The Guardian can be absorbed by or absorb the human half, or split off into two different beings.
* WorldOfBadass: All the Metas, Arcane and Gifted can fight, as well as a number of regular humans. You know it's this when ThePresidentsDaughter is an ActionGirl in her own right.
* WorldOfBuxom: Female Terrans and Gifted tend to have large breasts because their ancestors were created to have them.
* WordSaladTitle: The title is named after the abilities of the two main characters: Calia Rayfer's ability to [[GemstoneAssault produce and manipulate crystal]], and AC's ability to [[IntangibleMan phase]].
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Most Gifted have unnatural hair colours, which indicate that they aren't human.
* YouKilledMyFather: Calia's boyfriend is not happy that his father was killed by the person he loves.

Terra 102 is a technologically advanced planet of the [[TheFederation Universal Federation]], and is home to their world President and his daughter. AC, a physically gifted [[ChildSoldiers child soldier]] from the Federation army has recently been promoted to a bodyguard of ThePresidentsDaughter, in order to keep her safe. Little does he know that things aren't always as they seem, as he finds out about her, himself, as well as uncovering a war that could potentially destroy the universe...
----
!! Tropes present in this hypothetical game:
[[folder: Gameplay Tropes]]
* ArmorPiercingAttack: Calia's diamond shards penetrate most material armor, because they are well, ''diamonds''.
* BottomlessMagazines: Justified for Calia's guns, they run on her Mana which she constantly produces. AC's projectiles [[spoiler: run on the Meta energy he draws from Metaspace]].
* CounterAttack[=/=]DefendCommand: Characters have the ability to defend/dodge/counter an incoming attack at the press of a button.
* DecoyProtagonist: AC. He's the protagonist until [[spoiler: he turns into a Meta and is revealed to be an Enforcer. You still get to play as him, however.]]
* FlechetteStorm: Quite a number of Calia's attacks produce this.
* GuestStarPartyMember: President Rayfer, who fights in a PoweredArmor and a HumongousMecha in order to save his daughter from terrorists and an evil scientist.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: AC uses a sword, Calia uses a gun. Female Gifted are more proficient at magic than males to the point of being [[PersonOfMassDestruction destructive]], but males have SuperStrength, SuperSpeed and can use their powers to enhance their attacks.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: AC can do this with his blades, while Calia uses [[GemstoneAssault crystal spikes]] to do this.
* OneHitKill: All characters have one, which does a LUDICROUS amount of damage, more than 100x the final boss' health. They are usually AwesomeButImpractical, given the startup time and ease of avoidance. However, even bosses are ''not immune'' to these.
* PressXToNotDie: Certain enemy attacks can be countered by pressing a button for the character to block.
* TakenForGranite: Calia's [[GemstoneAssault gem-based attacks]] do this to a tangible enemy, instantly killing them. Seems like a StoryBreakerPower until you face against force-fielded troops whose energy armor is unaffected, as well as [[spoiler: Metas and Arcane beings, which are EnergyBeings and are thus immune]].
** On the bright side, the player gets to give certain opponents that horrible [[VideoGame/{{Earthbound}} Diamondized status]] to their enemies.
* WallJump: AC can do this in battle if there is a wall nearby.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Character Tropes]]
* ActionGirl: Calia Rayfer after the TimeSkip.
* AntiHero: Both AC and Calia have no qualms about killing villains (or erasing them from existence in the former, or turning their body into a crystalline SoulJar for eternity in the latter).
* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler: AC is actually one, created by the Enforcers to infiltrate Terra.]]
* {{Badass}}: AC.
* BadassNormal: AC in the beginning. Subverted as he soon gets powers after the TimeSkip.
** Soldier B.
* BodyguardCrush: AC to Calia. She [[AllLoveIsUnrequited doesn't return the feelings]], though, because she's in love with her childhood friend. [[spoiler: It doesn't matter anyway because AC loses his feelings of romantic love.]]
* BodyguardingABadass: After the TimeSkip, Calia becomes a badass like her bodyguard AC himself.
* BodyToJewel: Calia's tears and blood turn into diamonds and rubies. Too bad that it's near-impossible to make her cry after the TimeSkip, and if you make her bleed, she will make you suffer AFateWorseThanDeath.
** [[BlessedWithSuck Unfortunately for her]], her sweat turns into glass, resulting in cuts all over her body after strenous activity.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: AC. [[spoiler: Then he finds out that he wasn't born at all.]]
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Subverted. [[spoiler: Turning into a technological EnergyBeing does cause AC to lose his ability to feel romantic love, but this does not tak away his capacity for niceness.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Calia. She wasn't like this when she was younger, but multiple kidnappings had broke her and made her very cynical.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: AC, because [[spoiler: he loses his ability to feel romantic love]].
* DistressedDamsel: Calia. She gets kidnapped in the prologue chapter and the next one!
* DoomedByCanon: [[spoiler: Soldier B will get turned into an Enforcer by the Enforcer Leader and erased by the heroes in ''31st soldier''.]]
* EldritchAbomination: The FinalBoss, a creation goddess who is [[spoiler: the grandmother of Calia, Amber, , and .]]
* ElementalPowers:
** AC: LightEmUp, ShockAndAwe
** Calia: AnIcePerson, DishingOutDirt
** (name not decided yet): WindsOfDestinyChange (but only on a small scale)
** Amber: BlowYouAway, PlayingWithFire
** (name not decided yet): CastingAShadow, MakingASplash
** (name not decided yet): LightEmUp, ShockAndAwe
* FlyingSeafoodSpecial: Chris resembles an eagle ray made up of crystal.
* GoodGirlGoneBad: Calia UsedToBeASweetKid until enough abductions [[BreakTheCutie broke her]]. She grew up to be a rather cold woman.
* GoodParents: President Rayfer towards his daughter. Although [[OverprotectiveDad overprotective]] when it comes to her interactions with men, he does show that he is proud of her and even ''supports'' her joining the army for the greater good of the Universal Federation. In return, [[DaddysGirl she shows her love back]].
* HotBlooded: Soldier B.
* HeroesPreferSwords: AC uses {{Laser Blade}}s in combat.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: AC when he finds out that he is slowly transforming into a soulless program.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Calia, but [[SugarAndIcePersonality only to her comrades in the army]]. It gets quite bad, though- she uses her heritage and (later) her half-god status to boss the soldiers around. The Federation soldiers find her [[ToServeMan man-eating]] GuardianEntity ''nicer'' than her and don't hesitate to tell it to her face.
** [[IceQueen Ice President's Daughter]]
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's shown as being NiceToTheWaiter, although in a rather emotionless kind of way.
** RichBitch: Subverted. She would have become ''massively'' spoiled if not for her desire to take care of her own self.
** IronLady: Will grow up to become this.
* LadyOfWar: Subverted by Calia and (name not decided yet), they both fight like military soldiers empowered with magic that often causes LudicrousGibs.
* MagicKnight: AC becomes this (replace Magic with SufficientlyAdvancedTechnology). Calia's more of a Mage Gunner.
* MilitaryBrat: Amber, who is Calia's Rival and foil.
* MundaneUtility: AC can act as a LivingBattery and lighting, while Calia can subconsciously cool the air around her and pay her expensive meals with gemstones.
* NiceGuy: AC.
** BewareTheNiceOnes: But that doesn't mean it's a good idea to take advantage of him.
** StepfordSmiler: His smile hides a tragic past of his [[spoiler: adoptive]] parents being killed.
* NiceToTheWaiter: Despite being of the higher class, Calia is very nice towards the lower classes. She only acts as a jerk towards her army colleagues.
* NoSell: Metas and Gifted are naturally immune to attacks of their own element.
* OneManArmy: AC, Calia, and pretty much any other Gifted.
* OneNoteCook: Calia can only prepare cold dishes. Any food that requires heat (even microwaved food) [[LethalChef goes badly]] for her.
* OverprotectiveDad: President Rayfer, especially because his little girl gets kidnapped so often. The only reason why Calia is in the army is because she herself requested it, and also because she is one of the very few people who has the ability, mindset and training to stop rogue Gifted.
* [[OurPresidentsAreDifferent President Badass]]: President Rayfer. Instead of worrying when his daughter is kidnapped, he goes out in a mech to kick her kidnappers' asses.
* ThePresidentsDaughter: Calia Rayfer, who gets kidnapped for her status as well as for her powers and her [[SuperhumanTransfusion blood]]. Even after the TimeSkip, she is still under threat of getting kidnapped.
* TheRival: (name not decided yet) to Calia. Her powers are based off heat, air and gases, as compared to Calia's powers over cold, earth and solids. Their personalities and outlook on life are also opposites of one other.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: [[PresidentBadass President Rayfer]], and his daughter after she grows up.
* ShapingYourAttacks: AC and his light/electricity blades. He can also throw HardLight spinning blade projectiles.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: Calia has grown from a cute little girl in the prologue into a pretty woman after the time skip. AC grew from a cute-ish young teenager into a handsome adult.
* SnowMeansCold: Inverted with Calia whose crystal-generation abilities generate a field of diamond dust snow around her, which causes the air around her to become cold.
* SpiderSense: AC and Calia have toned-down versions. Both of them are only able to detect physical action.
** AC can see everything around him (even through walls) is a 1-kilometre radius.
** Calia subconsciously fills the air with diamond dust within a radius of her. She senses the movement of these ice particles to detect objects and entities.

* SupremeChef: AC can cook very well. [[CordonBleughChef Unfortunately, he sometimes uses ingredients that really shouldn't be used]].
* TookALevelInBadass: Calia grows from a DistressedDamsel into an ActionGirl. This is due to not wanting to face the trauma of getting kidnapped anymore.
