History FanFic / OfficerMisako

%% * BloodBrothers: [[spoiler: The MadScientist and his understudy, Helikoth, were arguably blood-brothers.]]

* MagicVersusScience: A major plot-line in the saga, with the MadScientist and the [[spoiler: Priestess Pascha]] representing ''science'' and TheForce representing a form of hidden pseudo-''magic''. Finally comes to a head in the GoingCosmic GrandFinale. It's a tie.

How are all these strange events related? It all changes when TheHero is badly wounded by an aggressor and henceforth goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge, taking up police work all in the name of patriotic [[CatchPhrase JUSTICE]]!

%% * ElementalPowers: TheForce acts like this (no, not THAT [[Franchise/StarWars Force]])

In the year 3008, Misako and her ThreeAmigos attend the prestigious [[ElaborateUniversityHigh Soluna University]], run by a crotchety old principal named Dean Warlic. Life is normal, except for the occasional Mecha stomping past, alien invasions, werewolf bikers, [[ElementalPowers the mystical 'Force']] and the power of Rock and Roll. At the same time, two band members are preparing for [[ThePowerOfRock an important concert]] when a MadScientist and the disdained [[TheEvilPrince brother]] 'The Black Prince' who both [[GreyAndGrayMorality declare a technological 'warfare']] on most Solunian [[BizarreBabyBoom citizens]] all in the name of "ForScience"! The end of their structured society as the three know it is nigh - as the MadScientist converts more of the citizens against their will, into [[BodyHorror cyborgs]]...

''Officer Misako'' is a TroperWork done by the Tropers/{{sabrinadiamond}}, inspired by the online RPG game VideoGame/MechQuest. It is both a DeconstructorFleet ''and'' a DarkFic, combining WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld, meta-references to horror and Science fiction with a twisty ending... Sometimes it shows elements of IntercontinuityCrossover at some points.

%% * CloningBlues: Garnet Admete, a replacement clone of Larosin.

A human, a DeadpanSnarker Martin and a [[FantasticRacism werewolf hating]] Police officer, TheyFightCrime... literally!

%% * HowWeGotHere: Explained in the [[spoiler: prequel ''Rites: Requiems Past'']] (Larosin's biography) and [[spoiler: ''Her Unbound Captors'']] (The Lightning Mage's BelatedBackStory and/or origins)

%% * GoOutWithASmile: The Lightning Mage at the end of her lifespan.

%% * GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Numerous. Let us count the ways...
%% ** FreudianSlipperySlope: Larosin says ''curious'' things numerous times to Koko. Real subtle ([[FoeRomanceSubtext not]]).
%% ** WholesomeCrossDresser: Misako, but Larosin's [[LoveAtFirstPunch passive-aggressive]] behaviour ''doesn't'' help.

* GodIsEvil: TheBigBad in some ways ([[spoiler: The Queen of Monsters]]).
* [[GenderBlenderName Gender Blender Names]]: Often used for 'comical' effects, and these are often unintentional. For example, is *Kayo* ''really'' a boy's name?

* IndustrializedEvil: The whole concept.
* KilledMidSentence: A lot of causalities ended up this way...
** KnightOfCerebus: Larosin enters the picture and proclaims the dreaded words.

* [[TheNothingAfterDeath The Almost Nothing Afterlife]]: Duh. That or SelfInflictedHell...
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Guess who?
** AscendedDemon: The Lightning Mage [[spoiler: and possibly Diaglo]].
* PubertySuperpower: Many of the characters get their superpowers during University. Big surprise, eh?

* PlotTailoredToTheParty: Done ''subtlely''.

* PsychologicalHorror: And that's just for starters.
* {{Psychotic Love Triangle}}
* {{Role Called}}
* RageAgainstTheAuthor: My characters rage between chapters...
* [[spoiler: NearRapeExperience:]] Subverted oh so much.
* RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude: Deconstructed like most of the tropes on this page. Despite being University students, a fatal combo of bad teamwork, an idiotic [[AdultsAreUseless plan ]] and a severe [[IdiotPlot lack]] of experience with TheMafia cost Misako's team a lot.
* {{Reality Bleed}}: A natural consequence of The Reset.
* ReferenceOverdosed: Happens.
* {{Reincarnation}}: It's a cycle!
** ReincarnationRomance: Turns into this in the finale.

* ShoutOut: To ''Franchise/IndianaJones'', ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' and the [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Hulk]].
** Inverted as it is the year 3008 (in Earth years) and the main characters actually KNOW the shows mentioned... which is kind of like LeaningOnTheFourthWall. Also, the way the MadScientist [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Homage programs cyborgs]] is akin to ''Harder Better Faster''
*** Here's a big ShoutOut: [[spoiler: 'The One']] is similar to the [[http://animorphs.wikia.com/wiki/The_One Animorphs character]].
* RealityBreakingParadox
** RestartTheWorld: This is the logical consequence of the paradox.
* ResetButtonEnding: ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin... Which leads to chapter 21.
* SevenDeadlySins: Some of the characters 'represent' their respective sin... The BigBad sees this and wants to [[spoiler: recify]] their whole society, Cue the Reset.

* SecretCharacter: [[spoiler: Garnet, only seen in the epilogue. She's a clone of Larosin.]]

* SlidingScaleOfFreeWillVsFate: Type 3

* [[TenLittleMurderVictims Seven Little Murder Victims]]: Who-dunnit?
* SpearCounterpart: [[spoiler: Harlin is essentially a [[TheBluebeard more aggressive]], one-tracked mind version of the Lightning Mage. Scary, no?]]
* SignificantAnagram: Larosin is actually a really clever anagram of [[spoiler: her former name.]] This is very significant as Garnet was ''based'' on her DNA...

** SuperpoweredEvilSide: Misako and the Lightning Mage.
* StableTimeLoop: Don't think too hard...

* TropeRiffic: [[SarcasmMode This page itself!]]
* UnrequitedLove: Larosin and Misako
** UnwantedHarem: The Valentine's chapter, in a VerySpecialEpisode
* [[spoiler: WhenItAllBegan]]: This is the actual situation that sets out the Reset itself.

* WillTheyOrWontThey: [[spoiler: They won't.]]
* YouCantFightFate A major theme of the fanfic.
* [[YouHaveToBelieveMe You'll Have to Believe Us]]: Frequently alluded to...
