History Fanfic / TheWarcrafter

* {{Gaslighting}}: After Taylor Triggers, she, Adrian, Parian and the Dallon sisters break into Winslow and make all the necessary changes to make Blackwell, the Terrible Trio, and the PRT doubt the very public Trigger event, and preserve Adrian and Taylor's secret identities. Adrian and Taylor then proceed to behave as though nothing happened the day of said Trigger, adding to the confusion.

* DeepSleep: After an encounter with the Merchants that left him really banged up, he is put into a healing coma inside the Emerald Dream, that lasts from before New Years to [[spoiler: the very day that Taylor Triggers]].

* PsychicStatic: Agent apparently spent quite a few points to make Adrian invisible to Shard-based precognition, such as the Simurgh and Contessa's powers.

* WarmHeartedWalrus: Wonder Walrus, one of Adrian's alternate cape identities, wears a beach towel cape and has a white W painted on his chest. He's extra goofy in this form, at one point giving Armsmaster a ''big walrus smooch on camera''.

* AddictiveMagic: Averted. Blood Elves are not actually addicted to magic, it's more akin to diabetes. They simply have a lower tolerance for low-magic areas than Night Elves. Most of the negative side effects of siphoning magic are due to absorbing magic that their bodies can't process, like fel magic.

* DiscardAndDraw: [[spoiler: Rachel and Alec give up their parahuman powers to become Actors, turning them from humans into an orc beastmaster and a vulperan hunter]].

* {{Gaslighting}}: After Taylor Triggers, she, Adrian, Parian and the Dallon sisters break into Winslow and make all the necessary changes to make Blackwell, the Terrible Trio, and the PRT doubt the very public Trigger event, and preserve Adrian and Taylor's secret identities.

* NotSoDifferent: Adrian tries to tell an E88 student Hawk that the Empire and ABB aren't so different since the leaders of both sides are just using their mutual hatred to keep them under control. Hawk doesn't understand this until [[spoiler:he's dying after a fight with some Merchants]].

* RefusalOfTheCall: [[spoiler: Despite being offered the chance to become an Actor, Vicky, Dean, Brian, Aisha and Lisa all decline, mostly because accepting would mean [[DiscardAndDraw giving up their parahuman powers]].]]

** Adrian - Bayleaf, [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent worgen]] {{druid}}), enabling {{Animorphism}}, minor {{Healing|Hands}}, [[GadgeteerGenius and goblin and gnome crafting and enchantment]].
** [[spoiler: Taylor]] - Hemlokk, [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent worgen]] [[{{Ninja}} rogue]]), giving her [[TeleportSpam teleporting backstabbing]], [[SmokeOut smoke emission]], DualWielding, other assorted thievery skills and [[AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome jewelcrafting skills]].
** [[spoiler: Greg]] - Vindicator, human [[ThePaladin paladin]]), giving him HealingHands, StatusBuffs, [[TheBlacksmith blacksmithing skills]], HardLight constructs, and the ability to wield a big honking [[DropTheHammer hammer]].
** [[spoiler: Sparky]] - Shar'din Belore, [[OurElvesAreDifferent blood elf]] [[FunctionalMagic mage]]), giving him [[TeleportersAndTransporters mass teleports]], StatusBuffs, debuffs like BalefulPolymorph, and good old-fashioned [[ProjectileSpell magical firepower]].
** [[spoiler: Theo]] - Shen, [[PandaingToTheAudience panderan]] [[BareFistedMonk monk]]), giving him awesome kung-fu skills, KiAttacks involving ghostly animals and [[ShockAndAwe Jade Lightning]].
** [[spoiler: Rune]] - Lei Ling, [[PandaingToTheAudience panderan]] [[NatureHero shaman]]), giving her elemental SummonMagic and {{Status Buff}}ing scrolls.
** [[spoiler: Rachel]] - Lok'Tara, [[OurOrcsAreDifferent orc]] [[TheBeastmaster beastmaster]]), giving her enhanced strength, spear-skills, and allowing her to tame any animal.
** [[spoiler: Alec]] - Fennek, [[BeastFolk vulperan]] [[ForestRanger hunter]]), giving him supernal archery, [[TrickArrow enchanted arrows]] and the ability to tame animals.

* VillainousBSOD: Regent's brain is restored to full functions when he accepts an Agent power. Without the neural damage to take the edge off, the horror of his childhood memories crashes down on him ''hard''.

* AddictiveMagic: Averted. Blood Elves are not actually addicted to magic, it's more akin to diabetes. They simply have a lower tolerance for low-magic areas than Night Elves. Most of the negative side effects of siphoning magic are due to absorbing magic that their bodies can't process.

* GooGooGodlike: Agent's nieces eventually join him to create their own actors on Earth Bet. While they have all the powers and knowledge of an adult of their kind, they're still very young and inexperienced, with the eldest being twelve years old by human reckoning.
* HeroicBuild: Adrian gains this when given his new body. [[spoiler:Greg]] also receives this when he's made an actor.

** Played straight with regards to shard and Agent-granted powers. Agent's powers include a fake shard to mask the actor from Scion. If a shard attempts to ping off a fake shard or a fake shard is connected to a currently empowered parahuman, the results are messy.
* NotSoDifferent: Adrian tries to tell Hawk that the Empire and ABB aren't so different since the leaders of both sides are just using their mutual hatred to keep them under control. Hawk doesn't understand this until [[spoiler:he's dying after a fight with some Merchants]].

* OhCrap: Right after pushing Taylor into the locker, Sophia blacks out and flips when she wakes up because it means Taylor was finally pushed over the edge and triggered. Then the crap factor doubles when Skinwalker - the most dangerous Rogue in the Bay - intervenes to save Taylor in such a way she immediately realizes he's actually Adrian Smith, the loser interested in Taylor. So not only her victim has the power to retaliate, her boyfriend would probably tag along for the ride. This doesn't last long due to some gaslighting, but...

* PsychicStatic: Agent apparently spent quite a few points to make Adrian invisible to Shard-based precognition, such as the Simurgh and Constessa's powers.

* ThisIsReality: Agent dismisses various game mechanics are contrivances for balance. He especially refutes the idea of there being good warlocks or demon hunters, stating that demonic magic corrupts any mortals who attempt to use it into their slaves.

** A second one comes after a video is posted in-universe on the internet showing the conditions at Winslow High, among them her part in the bullying campaign against Taylor. This quickly turns into a MassOhCrap for the faculty at Winslow High and quite a few other parties, and results in more than a few layoffs and disciplinary actions against those responsible.

* SkewedPriorities: Danny Hebert is quite happy to let his daughter join the fight against a world-destroying space whale abomination. But let her ''dating''? Over his dead body!

* DoingInTheWizard: Bitch's power didn't mess with her head; as Adrian points out, dogs are extremely good at reading humans. Instead, she was already socially stunted by her bad childhood and pre-existing mental disorders.

* HowDoIShotWeb: While the other individuals empowered by Agent's kin have an instinctive understanding of their abilities, [[spoiler:Rune]] forgot nearly everything about them. She slowly starts piecing together how to use Inscription but only remembers her actual ''class'' abilities mid-combat.

* [[ManChild Woman Child]]: Contessa has had the Path To Victory since she was five, and used it constantly ever since. As the path means she could do anything she wanted without knowing how to do it, she really hasn't learned anything or matured since she was a small child. Without it guiding her every action or telling her what to say and how to say it, she both acts and speaks like a small child.

** According to Agent, this is also {{averted}} with the various systems of Azerothian magic (divine, arcane, {{Magitek}}, etc...) They are all actually based on the same fundamental principles, they simply use different notations and theories to describe the same phenomena. Part of Agent's agenda in sending out Adrien was to hope that he would figure this out, and enable the different Azerothian schools to combine their knowledge.

Adrien was just a normal human being, until one day an extra-dimensional entity known as Agent offered him a chance to make a difference. Endowed with the powers of an Azerothian Druid, he is inserted into Brockton Bay, and the course of events is irrevocably altered...
