* YouOweMe: How casting spells invoking demons works (for Gods its a matter of psychic paperwork to get permission). It rarely ends pleasantly for the caster[[hottip:*:Naiki]], ''even when the demon you invoked was on your side''.

* BadAssAbnormal: [[spoiler: Sousuke and Mao. Mao has actually used her new abilities once.]]

* XanatosRoulette: Hecate's [[spoiler: doomed]] plan.

* ShoutOutThemeNaming: comments indicate that humanity's Chi computer will be named Silmaril to go along with Mithril's Tolkien theme. In the far future when they make their own alternate dimension, it's likely to be called either Gondolin, Imladris or Lothlorien.

-> "[[DramaticIrony This looks like a safe neighborhood.]]" - Ranma Satomi on arriving in the neighborhood of [[FullMetalPanic Jindai High]].

Ranma avoids Nerima, not wanting to go right to her old home just yet, and [[Manga/AhMyGoddess Nekomi]], due to sensing something similar to her attackers there. Instead she arrives at Jindai High, her children starting school the same day as [[FullMetalPanic Sousuke Sagara]].

* PsychicLink: FullMetalPanic's Resonance, extended in this fanfic to allow Gods and Demons to also make these connections. [[spoiler: It is however BlessedWithSuck as the connected minds [[HiveMind may merge into one.]] This is why Eija became a full God and Naiki a half god, half demon, as it was to prevent them, along with Kaname and Tessa, from [[LossOfIdentity losing their identities]]. However, this allows for Kaname and Tessa via the PsychicLink to see process of turning humans into gods/demons, and using that to construct a machine that will at least remove the downside of Resonance, with the bonus of making Whispered equivalents to the gods and demons.]]

This page refers to the Full Metal Panic!/Oh My Goddess!/Ranma 1/2 fanfic not the novel series in deveolpment around the original characters from this story.

''Note: A careful look will show that most of the entries here were added by me, Thrythlind, and that it has been added to with even more frequency than I add to my original works. This is because I often use this as a sort of self-evaluation/accounting of what has or has not happened in the story. I always like it when somebody else posts an entry, because they often find something that I didn't think of, but I like having a place to go that has all the characterizations and tropes I've used so far because it makes for a handy tool for maintaining consistency in my story.''

''So, yeah, I use tvtropes as a public plot map. Not sure if that's the intended use or not.''

'''Tropes Found In Divine Blood:'''

** Ghosts exist and are based on the ghosts in GhostWhisperer with "death seers" mostly being responsible for dealing with them by either containing them or helping them pass on.

* TooDumbToLive/ BornLucky: this trope fits Mizuki Inaba in order she shot herself in the head with a loaded gun before casually tossing live grenades out at random, and finally running full speed down a flight of stairs. Those watching commented on weather or not they should shot her for her own safety. However the tossed gun landed on a terrorist distracting him for a critical moment. The grenades destroyed a truck containing the enemies AS. And running down the stairs caused he to trip and fall on two more terrorist incapacitating them and gain a radio. Mizuki pretty much single handedly stopped a terrorist attack.

** Taken UpToEleven when [[spoiler: model YamatoNadeshiko Kasumi ''poisons and kills'' an entire banquet hall full of rogue gods using knowledge of God anatomy and chemistry acquired for first aid reasons over the past months.]].

** [[spolier: Ranma arrives to curb-stomp Balor in Chapter 41. This is preceded by her BadassOneLiner from the character page]]

Like so many other fics by {{Tropers/Thrythlind}}, this was started merely by an idle “what if” statement that consisted of “what if Ranma Saotome had children by the Gods?”. The first elements were posted in mid-August on the Maximum Adventure. The prologue, chapter one and some of chapter two were written between then and late January of 2007, after which time it sat untouched until picked up again in June of 2009, recently reaching its [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5175006/1/Divine_Blood 48th chapter]].

The story then skips seventeen years to Ranma Satomi (a European misspelling of her name that she’s adopted to avoid attention) deciding to return to Japan after raising her children for seventeen years, during which she has acted as a [[ActionGirl freelance mercenary]] and exorcist.

* AGodAmI: Averted.
--> '''Tessa''':At least they're not accusing me of trying to become a God.
--> '''Mardukas''' Isn't that exactly what you did?
--> '''Tessa''':I really hope not.
** Played Straight with [[spoiler: Frank Simmons being mutated by Leonard. However, he was quickly curb stomped.]]

** Nifelheim is an [[FireAndBrimstoneHell overpopulated and sulfur-filled pocket dimension]] originally designed as an emergency refuge to survive the aftermath of the KT event.

* CatchPhrase:
--> '''Naiki''': ''A Violent, tumultuous, overwhelming flow.''

* [[HeroOfAnotherStory Heroes of Another Story]]: Stargate universe characters are being used to staff the United States military's version of Psyche division, which is called "Socrates Group".

* {{Heroic Sacrifice}}

* HumanityIsInfectious: Another main point of contention between old and modern Demons and Gods. Demons and Gods altered themselves genetically to better fit in with humanity and also started taking time to study their culture. The result, several implications of [[BecomingTheMask becoming the mask]] were the Demons and Gods have started taking up human culture honestly.
* ImportantHaircut: Main one is where [[spoiler: Kaname, Eija and Sousuke decide on their official TriangRelations situation]]
** A lesser one involves Skuld losing a bet that requires her to dye her hair pink for a year.
** The haircut given to Eija where she suddenly realizes she's "Goth".
*** Technically the same haircut as the first example. Making that a sort of two-fold example.

** Ghosts exist and are based on the ghosts in [[GhostWhisperer Ghost Whisperer]] with "death seers" mostly being responsible for dealing with them by either containing them or helping them pass on.

* IOweYouMyLife: Kraken, to Naiki. Combined with the fact that Naiki was already indebted to Kraken for a spell she used to result in [[LooneyTunes Pepe [=lePew=]]] level StalkerWithACrush.

* LesYay: Mostly from Naiki [[spoiler: subverted in that Naiki has mostly been hitting on or flirting with straight girls]]
** Kaname has a habit of using the image of a sexily dressed Eija as window dressing in her fantasies.

* MinoredInAsskicking: Eija who really dislikes actual battle but is fairly competent at it

* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:After the assault by the gods, Ranma calls for her mother for comfort. Instead, she gets judged for dishonoring the clan, told to commit suicide, and then left high and dry. Ranma almost did got through the suicide, but she then learned [[GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion that she was pregnant.]]]]

* {{Retcon}}: The first mention of Tatewaki Kuno has him being described as being still unmarried while spending his resources into tracking down Ranma. A later episode introduces Mariko Konjo as his ex, with three children between them. Arguably, it could be reconciled that as far as the Nerima crew knew, he was still unmarried, and in Kuno's twisted mind he thought the same way. [[FridgeLogic This begs the question on how]] [[UnfortunateImplications Mariko snagged Kuno and got three children out of it.]]

* ShoutOut: An earlier incarnation of the Goddess Morrigan is responsible for nearly driving the [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} succubus race]] into extinction.

* TheUnmasquedWorld: [[spoiler:Refugees of gods and demons appear on Earth en-mass, with one group in Canada massacred by the rebels. Time will tell how humanity will react.]]

* YouOweMe: How casting spells invoking demons works (for Gods its a matter of psychic paperwork to get permission). It rarely ends pleasantly for the caster[[hottip:*:Naiki]], ''even when the demon you invoked was on your side''.

* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Humanity via the Whispered in developing HumongousMecha and the Lambda Drive, which Hecate [[{{Ptitle7xno8ayw}} didn't see coming]].]]

* YouOweMe: How casting spells invoking demons works (for Gods its a matter of psychic paperwork to get permission). It rarely ends pleasantly for the caster[[hottip:*:Naiki]], ''even when the demon you invoked was on your side''.

** Frank Simmons, a character played by [[StarTrekTheNextGeneration John DeLancie]], starts acting very full of himself [[spoiler: after being mutated by Leonard Testarossa]].

* ItsNotRapeIfYouEnjoyedIt: Very, ''very'' averted with Zeus.

** Most immortals are the Undying variety, with Demons and Gods being [[spoiler:, until recently]] the only species for whom this is a racial norm.

** Ghosts exist and are based on the ghosts in [[GhostWhisperer Ghost Whisperer]] with "death seers" mostly being responsible for dealing with them by either containing them or helping them pass on. Unsure whether this would be Undead or Spiritual immortality.
** The existence of Quincey Harker as the man who brought Ranma into Psyche implies the existence of Vampiric immortals of the Dracula variety.

* VillainBall: Justified. Too much time without passing through reincarnations makes most Immortals act arrogantly and predictably.

* [=~You're Not My Father~=]: Naiki says this to Poseidon, her biological father, in an canon omake written by [=AYH=].

Ranma avoids Nerima, not wanting to go right to her old home just yet, and [[AhMyGoddess Nekomi]], due to sensing something similar to her attackers there. Instead she arrives at Jindai High, her children starting school the same day as [[FullMetalPanic Sousuke Sagara]].

* TriangRelations: [[spoiler: Type 8, Kaname and Eija love Sousuke and are sexually attracted to him, Sousuke loves and is sexually attracted to both, Kaname and Eija love each other but are not sexually attracted to each other. Though their PsychicLink [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean makes things interesting]] for one when the other is getting with Sousuke.]]

* OlderAndWiser: Much of Ranma's {{Nakama}} (except for the Kunos). Akane's in the Japanese navy, and married to Ryuu Kumon, who was adopted to the Saotome clan. Mousse gave up on Shampoo. Ryoga seems to have mellowed out.

** Taken BeyondTheImpossible when [[spoiler: model YamatoNadeshiko Kasumi ''poisons and kills'' an entire banquet hall full of rogue gods using knowledge of God anatomy and chemistry acquired for first aid reasons over the past months.]].

* ModeLock: Ranma is stuck in female form through much of the story.
** [[spoiler: and even after spends most of her time female since she doesn't want to discomfort her children]]
