History Fanfic / LegendaryAdventurersFuturisticSaviors

%%** Genbu is [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda Oogway]].

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Rukia in her human form wears toeless/ankleless socks leaving her ankle and toes bare, while San's newest look has her wearing toeless moccasins.

The fic is forty chapters long, with several chapters being nothing but author's notes, and at least the first half of the story is plagiarized, almost verbatim, from a very similarly named fic, "A Legend of the Past, a Savior of the Future," by fanfiction author N'Jata.

It can be found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5124883/1/Legendary-Adventurers-Futuristic-Saviors here]]. The fic it was "inspired" by can be found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/224677/1/A-Legend-of-the-Past-a-Savior-of-the-Future here]].

There is a riff of it at Website/LibraryOfTheDamned, which had been going strong for fourteen chapters, but was finally drawn to an abrupt conclusion when the riffer, SC, realized that he had allowed himself to get too wrapped up in a personal vendetta. The riff can be found [[https://literarytravesty.wordpress.com/2014/05/25/legendary-adventures-futuristic-saviors-prologue-and-chapter-one/ here]].

* ActionGirl: San, Kaya, Cera and Nadia.
* AdaptedOut: Ashitaka is replaced with Alex.
* AdaptationalBadass: Kaya.

* AnachronismStew: In his ongoing riff of the fic at the Library of the Damned, riffer SC notes that, "If I took the time to nitpick every anachronism he (Stone-Man 85) throws around, these chapters would become even LONGER." This is an understatement. (Before reading the examples below, it's important to remember that the Muromachi Period lasted from 1392 to 1573.)
** Medical syringes apparently exist in the Muromachi Period, despite that they weren't invented until 1853 by a Scottish man and a French man.
** Night-vision goggles also get a passing mention in chapter fourteen. Night-vision-anything didn't exist until 1929, when a Hungarian scientist created the infrared-sensitive electronic television camera.
** Alex is forever tossing around pop culture references that nobody in the Muromachi Period would ever live long enough to understand - everything from Film/VForVendetta, to to an offhand comment about Jesse Owens, to pizza, to [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]]... the list goes on.

* AnimalMotifs: The Hanyos have these judging on which demon they have come across:
** Alex: Boar
** San: Wolf
** Takemaru: Lion
** Yashahime: Wolf
* ArcVillain:
** First arc: Eboshi and Takemaru
** Second arc: Baras

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: In the earliest chapters, the narrative places the setting of the fic in the area of Tokyo, Japan. The actual setting of Princess Mononoke, in fact, cuts a rough L-shape around Tokyo.

* BigBad: Hexxus, the spirit of chaos.

* BlackAndWhiteMorality: The fic's author seems to believe this is the case in regards to the main conflict of Princess Mononoke.
* BlackAndGreyMorality: The riff at the Library of the Damned points out, "The only reason Alex gets away with being a hero in this fic is because Stone-Man 85 made the intended villains worse."

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: San, while possessed by Baras.
* BumblingDad: Alex and Kari's father.
* CombatStilettos: San in her [[spoiler: Awakened state]].

* CoolMask: San's mask.

* DarkActionGirl: Yashahime, Salka, Baras and Eboshi.
* DeadPanSnarker: San, Anju and Issac, with Isaac being the most frequent. Alex does this sometimes, as well.
* DefrostingIceQueen: San, just like the original movie.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Alex does this a few times to the Spirit Kings and the Guardians.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Rukia in her human form wears toeless/ankleless socks leaving her ankle and toes bare while San's newest look has her wearing toeless moccasins.
* EldritchAbomination: Not just Shishi-Gami, but also the Spirit Kings in general, one of which, Somiesa, is able to peer into time itself.
* ElementalEmbodiment: The Spirit Kings are animals composed of different elements.
* EliteMooks: The Hellhounds.
* {{Expy}}:
** Alex's father is this to [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Isshun Kurosaki]], minus the whole badass, semi-retired swordsman vibe.
** Sechs is the Tolmekian equivalent of ComicBook/Deadpool}}.
** Genbu is [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda Oogway]].
** Nadia is [[Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic Morgiana]].
** Takemaru is [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse movieverse Emil Blonsky/Abomination]] while Alex is similar to Bruce Banner.
** Baras is a mixture of [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Poison Ivy]] and [[Manga/{{Inuyasha}} Yura]].
* FantasticRacism: The humans and gods don't get along very well.
* FemmeFatalons: Yashahime in her Hanyo form. Salka herself even seems to have these.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Alex at first, then San.
* {{Flanderization}}: San's beauty and ferocity are both over-exaggerated to the point that SC finally dubs the character San is being transformed into, "Sannabe," a portmanteau of San's name and "wannabe."

* GoodIsNotNice: Rukia.

* IntercontinuityCrossover: Even though the fic credits itself as a Princess Mononoke story, the author has hinted at plans to include several other properties such as Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Howl's Moving Castle, Earthsea, Castle in the Sky and Godzilla.
* {{Jerkass}}: Alex; between his constant complaining, blatant disrespect of authority figures (in a time where that could get you killed, no less), endless pestering of a woman who already hates humans, and his marked narrow-mindedness about the whole humans versus forest issue, it's really hard to find anything nice to say about his character.

* MyNameIsNotDurwood: So many characters get misnamed, it borders on ridiculousness.
** Shishigami is repeatedly called Shisha-Gami, or Shishi-Gami, neither of which are the proper spelling of his name.
** The Emishi village is called the Amishi village.
** Yakul is misnamed "Ah-Uh."
** Ryukotsusei is misspelled, "Ryoukotsei."
** A minor Emishi guardsman known as Jiisan is called "Gisan," which means "formic acid."

* TakeThat: Recently, the very author Stone-Man 85's fic was "inspired" by - N'Jata - came forward and made it known that he was in full support of the riff, which SC promptly rubbed in Stone-Man 85's face.
* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Another reason SC cut the riff short was because he realized that he was, "becoming one of those Aesops in the making, where the guy is so driven by a singular goal that he doesn’t know what to do with himself when he finally achieves it."

There is a riff of it at LibraryOfTheDamned, which had been going strong for fourteen chapters, but was finally drawn to an abrupt conclusion when the riffer, SC, realized that he had allowed himself to get too wrapped up in a personal vendetta.

!!Tropes appearing in this fanfic include:

An alternate universe fanfiction adaptation of Anime/PrincessMononoke with hints of {{Anime/Inuyasha}}, Anime/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind, ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk and even WesternAnimation/FerngullyTheLastRainforest by Creator/{{Stone-Man85}}. When seventeen-year-old Alex Killian moves from America to Tokyo, he is told of an ancient legend by his aunt. One day, Alex comes across a portal in an old tree which transports him to ancient Japan where he is cursed by a boar demon. As he tries to find a way to cure himself of this, he discovers he and several others like him are destined for something far greater...

* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Alex throws the word "parasite" around frequently as a description of his curse, in spite of the fact that a curse, by definition, could not be a parasite, as it is not a living organism, but a supernatural force inflicted upon others by way of vocal incantation (i.e., what Nago did to Alex upon being slain).

** Sechs is the Tolmekian equivalent of {{Main/Deadpool}}.

* CriticalResearchFailure: See Anachronism Stew, Artistic License: Medicine, and Artistic License: Geography, above. Apart from examples shown there, Stone-Man 85 has had several research gaffes brought to his attention, and has done nothing about them. The most recent entry in the Library of the Damned riff has SC discovering that the so-called "lion" spirit, Ryukotsusei, is actually a dragon, which he notes took him all of two seconds to find out from a single Google search. His following question, directed at the author, is aptly put:
--> '''SC:''' You couldn't even do ''two seconds'' of research, Stone-Man 85?
** When the scene for the ambush along the mountain path is being set, the narrative lists Moro's two sons as being her ninth and tenth sons. Moro's clan canonically consists of four members, including herself.
** From chapter fourteen: "his eyes had turned completely black, with only his irises retaining color, but instead of them being brown, they were now the unnatural color of blood red… just like a lion's eyes." Lions do not have black-and-blood-red eyes.

* GaryStu: Alex. To name a short list of things:
** He replaces Ashitaka as the main protagonist, and thus as one half of the romance between him and San.
** He gets afflicted with a curse that does very little to hinder and all too much to empower him.
** He fights off Nago with martial arts, which, in the movie, would have swiftly resulted in Ashitaka's death, had he tried the same thing.
** One of the main villains is immediately attracted to him in a somewhat {{Yandere}} manner.

* MarySue: San quickly becomes one of these, thanks to the absurd amount of undue praises she receives from other characters. It gets to the point where she's practically shouting "[[ThisCannotBe This can't be!]]" whenever the plot has her on the losing end of a fight.

There is an ongoing riff of it at LibraryOfTheDamned, currently fourteen chapters long. It can be found [[https://literarytravesty.wordpress.com/2014/05/25/legendary-adventures-futuristic-saviors-prologue-and-chapter-one/ here]].

* CursedWithAwesome: The Hanyos are humans who are mutated into half-human/half-demon hybrids by way of a curse. They gain enhanced speed, stamina, strength, and more, but at the cost of losing what makes them human.

* TakeThat: Recently, the very author Stone-Man 85's fic was "inspired" by - N'Jata - came forward and made it known that he was in full support of the riff, which SC promptly rubbed in Stone-Man 85's face.
