''ACX - WARPED!'' or ''Advanced Char eXperiment - WARPED!'' is a FanFic by [=DemonicAnomaly=].

* ActionGirl: Cassie, natch.

* BigBad: [[spoiler: James Callahan]].

* ConservationOfNinjitsu

* TechnologyPorn

* PlayingWithFire: Robert/Phoenix, Cassie, and Phalanx.
* ShockAndAwe: Raiden

* SuperSoldier: Phoenix [[spoiler:and Robert by extension]]. Downplayed with Cassie and Phalanx. [[spoiler: Fenris is a villainous example.]]

* BadAss: Most of the main characters.

* AIIsACrapshoot: [[spoiler: Pheonix]] initially seems an example of this, but it's subverted as he was intentionally programmed to be ruthless and remorseless.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: Robert, after being fitted with a mind control device that directly accesses the Pheonix AI. Taken up to eleven as he proceeds to lay waste to both sides indiscriminately.]]
* BlackAndGreyMorality: On one side you have [[BombThrowingAnarchists Hydraforce]], which is willing to take over cities, destroy innocent people, and attempt to take over the world. On the other side you have the pragmatic, ruthless Eruassian Military, the morally dubious [[MegaCorp Neutech]], and a cruel anti-heroic super solider [[spoiler: fused with a troubled teenager]]. No wonder Robert gets so depressed...

* DeconstructionFic: Of self-insertion fics in general. Robert is far from prepared to take on Hydraforce, and ultimately goes through physical and emotional hell [[IronicHell while still getting exactly what he wished for]].

* HeroicBSOD: Robert when [[spoiler: Callahan]] tells him the truth about Pheonix's origins.

* HijackingCthulhu: [[spoiler: Callahan's [[EvilPlan plan]] to use the Pheonix AI to pilot and control the [[OlympusMons legendary]] Zieragia.]]
* ItGetsEasier: [[spoiler: Robert, who also gradually begins to act more like Pheonix.]]
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Downplayed. The Mooks aren't really terrible shots, our protagonists are really good at dodging.
* LaserGuidedTykeBomb: Phoenix is a rare [[AntiHero quasi-heroic]] example, raised only to destroy Hydraforce. [[spoiler: Downplayed with Cassie, who has been trained to terminate Robert and Pheonix if they go rogue.]]

* MadeOfIron: Most of the main characters, but special mention has to go to [[spoiler: Cassie, who survived being blown up along with the Vandenburg base. And then Phalanx survives Hydraforce dumping a reservoir's worth of water on him ]]
* MacGuffin: The Illustrium Meteorite, which has some kind of reality warping power. (Space-Time dialation and kinetic energy conversion) [[spoiler: Callahan fits Fenris with a special armor to harness that power.]]
* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: Averted. [[spoiler: Neutech already has a second watch made when Robert breaks the first one. Justified in the case of Pheonix, as the AI's original creator was killed by Kamov.]]

* TheDragon: Kamov [[spoiler: and later Fenris]] to the Hydraforce boss [[spoiler: James Callahan]].

* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler: James Callahan]], Hydraforce's leader, manages to pass Robert and Cassie off as terrorists, orders the destruction of the airport housing the [[CoolPlane Cool Plane]], and [[spoiler: anticipates Robert and Cassie's attempt to teleport into his base and disables Pheonix.]]

* BackToBackBadasses: Phalanx and Phoenix were supposed to be this. Robert and Cassie play this straight later on.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: Robert, after being fitted with a mind control device. Taken up to eleven as he proceeds to lay waste to both sides indiscriminately.]]

* DeconstructionFic: Of self-insertion in general. Robert is far from prepared to take on Hydraforce, and ultimately goes through physical and emotional hell [[IronicHell while still getting exactly what he wished for]].

* MadeOfIron: Most of the main characters, but special mention has to go to [[spoiler: Cassie, who survived being blown up along with the Vandenburg base.]]

* NonActionGuy: Damian. He's capable of fighting, but hasn't had special training or augmentations so he usually leaves the fighting to Robert or Raiden.

* ShockAndAwe: Raiden.

* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler: James Callahan]] to a ridiculous extent.

Well, at least that's how the Author describes it. Basically, it's an action-packed thriller with elements of speculative fiction, [[ComtemplateOurNavels philosophy]], and psychological horror. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And Pokemon]].

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: [[spoiler: Robert, who can transform into Phoenix, thanks to their genetic fusion.]]
* XMeetsY: Franchise/MetalGear meets [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion]] with Pokemon.
* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: Averted. [[spoiler: Neutech already has a second watch made when Robert breaks the first one. Justified in the case of Pheonix, as the AI's original creator was killed by Kamov.]]
* NonActionGuy: Damian. He's capable of fighting, but hasn't had special training or augmentations so he usually leaves the fighting to Robert or Raiden.

* RefugeInAudacity: [[spoiler: The main reason why most of James Callahan's plans get as far as they do]].

* Animorphism/VoluntaryShapeshifting: [[spoiler: Robert, who can transform into Phoenix, thanks to their genetic fusion.]]

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Downplayed. The [[Mook Mooks]] aren't really terrible shots, our protagonists are really good at dodging.
