History Literature / RoTeO

* {{Bishonen}}: See CastFullOfPrettyBoys below. Taken to the extreme by Astaroth/Skyrua, who manages to pull Lucifer in with his handsomeness (and it's noted that it's not meant to work on Lucifer), but the biggest offender is Avisel, who is described as putting even Musei to shame...and Musei is feminine-looking.

* FiveManBand: Out of the original's main group: [[TheLeader Ryou]] (type III, although does have the "sense of justice"), [[TheLancer Tetsuya]] (although he's originally TheSmartGuy), [[TheSmartGuy Katsuo]], [[TheBigGuy Martin]] (although Katsuo's and Martin's roles switch for the revival, as Katsuo uses his fists more) and [[TheHeart Kaede]].
* FourElementEnsemble: Lucifer (fire and a hero), Gabriel (predominantly air and a hero), Raphael (water) and Peter (grass) or Zerachiel (earth). The fifth member is of the [[CastingAShadow dark]] type.

* FiveManBand: Out of the original's main group: [[TheLeader Ryou]] (type III, although does have the "sense of justice"), [[TheLancer Tetsuya]] (although he's originally TheSmartGuy), [[TheSmartGuy Katsuo]], [[TheBigGuy Martin]] (although Katsuo's and Martin's roles switch for the revival, as Katsuo uses his fists more) and [[TheChick Kaede]].

!!''Ro.Te.O'' and ''revival!RoTeO'' contains examples of: (The revival will only change where noted.)

* AlternateContinuity

* DefeatMeansFriendship: So very much.

-->Martin:Guardian angels are meant to look over you, right? So do that!
-->Gabriel:You got it wrong. Guardian angels also have to stop you from doing the wrong thing.

* MasqueradeBall: Chapter 6. Not in revival.

* NecessaryFail: The first great battle.

* PartTimeHero: Or villain, if you'd prefer.

* TripleShifter

* UrbanFantasy

* [[ShowWithinAShow Show Within a Web Serial Novel]]

* UrbanFantasy

* TheyFightCrime: (as of chapter 2 original) He's a wannabe internet star. He's a star with the teachers. They fight crime! Subverted soon after as they turn to kicking demon butt.

* WunzaPlot: See TheyFightCrime above. But to make it fit the WunzaPlot description (as of chapter 3 original) - One's an angel with a pistol. One's a devil with a sword. Together, [[TheyFightCrime they fight crime]]!

* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld

* CanonImmigrant: The White Knight, first introduced in a Manga/DetectiveConan fanfic of the same name. This time, the Knight is part of a family who have their own "Crimson taskforce". In revival!Crimson, the eponymous guy, Daichi, Reika and Hanaka are the immigrants from the original - although a few changes are in place, the biggest being that Daichi and Crimson aren't the same person.

* WeaksauceWeakness/ElementalRockPaperScissors: Gabriel to electricity and ice, Sariel to fire, Raguel to ice. Ryou's is water, but there's only water angels at this point in time. [[spoiler: During the zombie arc, Gabriel - one of the two water angels - turns on Lucifer only for him to suffer TheWorfEffect.]]

* [[spoiler: FirstGirlWins: in the revival.]]

* ''Resurrected Angels: Memories'' (found at the same link as ''Ro.Te.O''). The backstories for the ''Rebirth'' characters, as well as other tidbits you might never get to see in the main story (under different subsections e.g. ''Memories of a Time Gone By'' (poems/CanonWelding) and ''Memories of Names'' ([[CaptainObvious on the origin of character names]])). First published in 2014, ongoing.

* {{Gotterdammerung}}: [[CaptainObvious The Great Battle]].

A WebSerialNovel by Tropers/MagicConan14 (aka Courage's admin) that can be read [[http://courage-a-word-of-justice.tumblr.com/tagged/ro.te.o here]]. However, in the spirit of Tumblr, the latest chapters appear first. It's an UrbanFantasy story which is explained to be "a DNAngel parody and [an original story counterpart] to ''Stealing Stars'' (a dead fic) and ''Best of Luck, Tantei-kun''".

* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: Well, the story was described as a parody of DNAngel, so it makes sense to at least have a few...but almost everyone in the cast is a guy.

* CanonImmigrant: The White Knight, first introduced in a DetectiveConan fanfic of the same name. This time, the Knight is part of a family who have their own "Crimson taskforce". In revival!Crimson, the eponymous guy, Daichi, Reika and Hanaka are the immigrants from the original - although a few changes are in place, the biggest being that Daichi and Crimson aren't the same person.

* OddFriendship: Becomes one between the groups, most notably between Ryou and Tetsuya. Sariel and Astaroth make for an InterspecisFriendship.

* AlternateContinuity: Each revival is one to their original. Made especially important in revival!Crimson, where magic has only existed for about 30 years (set in the future) compared to original!Crimson (set in the present).

* [[http://www.courage-a-word-of-justice.tumblr.com/tagged/ro.te.o+crimson The Future is Crimson]]. An AlternateContinuity to ''Crimson''. A boy Daichi, his UnwantedHarem, his part-robot butler and resurrected buddy Crimson deal with the normal and not-so-normal in a future where magic is the norm. Complete, started and ended in 2014 at 16 chapters.

* ''Resurrected Angels: Memories'' (found at the same link as ''Ro.Te.O''). The backstories for the ''Rebirth'' characters, as well as other tidbits you might never get to see in the main story (under different subsections e.g. ''Memories of a Time Gone By'' (poems/CanonWelding) and ''Behind the Names''). First published in 2014, ongoing.

* FemaleAngelMaleDemon: Subverted unless it's Curiel (original) with any one of the male demons.

* MushroomSamba: Katsuo gets a taste of this in his ''Memories'' entry. What he sees later becomes a reality, though.

* PastLifeMemories: Ryou, Tetsuya and Katsuo recall the first Great Battle from these. Unfortunately, it's not their own side of the story they get...it's Avisel's.

* ''Resurrected Angels: Memories'' (found at the same link as ''Ro.Te.O''). The backstories for the ''Rebirth'' characters, as well as other tidbits you might never get to see in the main story. First published in 2014, ongoing.

* AerithAndBob: Averted with the human names since the setting is of the "cosmopolitan" variety and most of the names are actual Japanese ones. (Martin might be the odd one out but it was probably deliberate, taking into account the author has done {{Coldplay}} shoutouts before and has also mentioned a character called Chris...) The angel/demon names are naturally of the "Aerith" type except Gabriel, Raphael (YMMV), Ariel (in a ''Memories'' entry) and Michael.

* SherlockScan: Ryou, the least likely person to perform this trope, does so in ch. 11 of the revival and in a non-detective story to boot.

* WeaksauceWeakness/ElementalRockPaperScissors: Gabriel to electricity and ice, Sariel to fire, Raguel to ice. Ryou's is water, but there's only water angels at this point in time. [[spoiler: During the zombie arc, Gabriel - one of the two water angels, if you read his ''Memories'' entry before ch. 11 - turns on Lucifer only for him to suffer TheWorfEffect.]]

* [[http://www.courage-a-word-of-justice.tumblr.com/tagged/ro.te.o Ro.Te.O]]. The story of two boys, Ryou and Tetsuya, who discover their pasts as angels and have to deal with the baggage that comes with their alter egoes. They're not alone, though - not only do other angels exist, but demons do too. Said demons want to bring about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, too...First published in 2013, unfinished at 10 chapters yet being elaborated on in the revival. Its name was changed to ''Resurrected Angels'' in chapter 10 and ''Rebirth'' keeps that name.

* ''Resurrected Angels: Memories'' (found at the same link as ''Ro.Te.O''). The backstories for the ''Rebirth'' characters. First published in 2014, ongoing.

* AllThereInTheManual: All sorts of interesting tidbits can be found if you look through the other Ro.Te.O/Crimson posts as well as ''Superhero Project'' (for Martin, Ryou and Tetsuya only). Tetsuya's a common target for AllThereInTheManual, as [[http://courage-a-word-of-justice.tumblr.com/post/90650496080/done-this-thing-for-kicks-but-it-took-a-few this post]] proves. The targeting, however, is also justified in that post - Tetsuya is one of the author's favourite characters.

* ''Crimson''. A spinoff to Ro.Te.O written in script format, see a summary of it next to the ShowWithinAShow entry. First published in 2013, unfinished and unable to be accessed due to its home tumblr being deleted.

* ShoutOut: Has its own page.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Gabriel to electricity and ice, Sariel to fire, Raguel to ice. Assumedly, Ryou's is water but there's no water demon yet.

* ZombieApocalypse: In the revival, although it isn't so much the undead as students under a spell (but the students are called "zombies" anyway).

* [[http://www.courage-a-word-of-justice.tumblr.com/tagged/ro.te.o Ro.Te.O]]. The story of two boys, Ryou and Tetsuya, who discover their pasts as angels and have to deal with the baggage that comes with their alter egoes. They're not alone, though - not only do other angels exist, but demons, who seek to bring about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt through battling the angels, do too. First published in 2013, unfinished yet being elaborated on in the revival. Its name was changed to ''Resurrected Angels'' in chapter 10 and ''Rebirth'' keeps that name.

* AerithAndBob: Names like Ryou and Martin are all in the same story. Made worse when you find out one of the angels' names is Peter. (Then again, the name Peter does have [[TheBible some significance]] behind it...)
* AllThereInTheManual: All sorts of interesting tidbits can be found if you look through the other Ro.Te.O/Crimson posts. Tetsuya's a common target for AllThereInTheManual, as [[http://courage-a-word-of-justice.tumblr.com/post/90650496080/done-this-thing-for-kicks-but-it-took-a-few this post]] proves.
