''Trinton Chronicles'' ( トレントンの年代記 ) is a series of web-novels compiled from the message board RPG of the same name over the last 10+ years; it ran from 1999 to 2013. The main story is centered on a group of seemingly random people getting mixed up in some pretty weird situations. Eventually they form a rag-tag group based loosely on friendship or morality and, in most cases they get along fairly well.
The setting centers on the fictional eponymous city of [[AnotherDimension Trinton]], which acts as a center post in economics, politics, science and magic for the entire East Coast of the United States, all from the state of Virgina.
This WebOriginal features [[PettingZooPeople Non-Human]] characters who all have [[ElementalPowers supernatural]] abilities or gifts with a few of them [[WhatKindOfLamePowerisHeartAnyway appearing rather weird or seemingly useless]] in everyday life while others [[FunctionalMagic get used heavily for mundane chores]].
The books themselves were written in story-arc format so that each book is a separate setting with an over-all theme and variant length of pages per book, so far the trend appears to be less pages and less story. There are 4 web-books in all: ''Fantasia'', ''Silence'', ''Hallow's Eve,'' and ''Righteous Termination'', -- the story was CutShort with the end of [[FinaleSeason the latter one]].
Had a link to the main page of the site but has since been deactivated with the closure of the site and web series. The series is being archived as of 2014 and should have its own archived page soon. Now currently has a set of fan cards based on ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' found via Google Docs: [[https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BydB-e7GP__pOW5KVUQ1VkVYRTA&usp=sharing where the dream lives on.]]. Also the archived stories can be found [[https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BydB-e7GP__pR2J4UG9wZGk3VU0&usp=sharing here]]
As of March, 2014 a revival novel was in the works from the creator of the series, who hopes to publish it via Amazon and Kindle soon.
Has a [[Characters/TrintonChronicles Character Sheet]] under construction.
----
!!Tropes:
* ActionGirl: All the main female characters count.
* ActionMom: Sabella
* AnAdventurerIsYou: Any magic and tech user is limited by the schools of thought they practice (i.e. Dimensional-Witches only do temporal and spatial based things while Rocket-Scientists only build and destroy missile-based things).
* AerithAndBob: There are names like Sara and Jay then we got names like Sabella and Kalinda...
* AllThereInTheManual: Without reading the Wet Pain Wiki, Message Board, or Character sheets you wouldn't realize how deep the world actually is.
* AllYourPowersCombined: Jasmine could perform this action but doesn't seem to really care to do so often.
* AlternateContinuity: although rarely mentioned in the main story (yet has two sub-stories dedicated to it) there is an AlternateUniverse version of Trinton where events went very different; so differently that this other world is mostly a dystopia with heavy pollution, seems DarkerandEdgier, and features other races of species that not normally evolved in the normal universe. On top of all that everyone here is mostly normal aside from a few super-hero/villein types who also sort of rule with an iron fist.
* AmplifierArtifact: The black scythe Darkstar can boost a single power of a person as long as they are holding him; this is subverted with Coatl who has the ability to amplify anyone's powers/abilities (except magic & science based ones) when she wants to help them out, although she isn't an object nor does she utilize any such objects.
* AnimalStereotypes: Lizards as assassins, dogs as cops half the time, cats as thieves, etc.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Brandon has a lot of this trope.
* ArcWords: Every title of each novel is an example of this -- ''Fantasia'', ''Hallow's Eve'', etc.
* AuthorAvatar: Every writer in ''Trinton Chronicles'' has one of these... or three depending on the writer.
* AwesomebutImpractical: Kalinda uses guns and can apparently aim, shoot, and always hit. It's impractical as she can [[SuperStrength punch-out and lift]] most foes with ease!
* BattleCouple: Jay & Sabella.
* BizarreAlienBiology: Although everyone has a form of live-birth, lizards & dragons are born with an evolutionary left-over of an egg sac (a membrane surrounding their bodies with yolk still attached), mustelids are born with full teeth, marsupials are born bald, and felines and canines are born blind. Also, only mammals have breasts or can suckle their young; although via genetic crossbreeding lizards and dragons have BOTH developed breasts they do not produce milk.
* BlessedWithSuck: Robert's a summoner, but cursed with ties to some fairly powerful beings, and let us not forget his weak will.
* BreathWeapon: This isn't seen often as only dragons and half-dragons have breath-weaponry; case in point is Elijah the draconian-knight.
* BrotherChuck: Whatever happened to half the characters from story arcs 1 through 4? You get this often depending on the characters and story setting going on.
* BrotherSisterTeam: Bone & Kat are obviously this.
* BlowYouAway: The only one who can control wind "energy" and make [[RazorWind knife-air]] is Rayte.
%%* CardCarryingVillain: Trinty... 'nuff said.
* CastFromHitPoints: Over use of one's powers causes physical exhaustion, like running to long, and causes one to eventually pass out from over-exertion.
* CastingAShadow: Dan's over all powers over darkness seem to relate to this as he can create and manipulate it at will.
* CatsAreMean: Most of the villains tend to be feline, but subverted by Jay. Not so much by Sara who is half-demon.
* ChristmasEpisode: According to the current story, ''Luminous Umbras'' is one of these.
* ComboPlatterPowers: Jasmine straight up and down, but also Dan (time, light, and dark), Sabella (electricity and water), or even Boris (digging, crystal armor, X-ray vision) to name a few.
* CoolestClubEver: Lacey's Night Club
* CurbStompBattle:
** Dan wiping the floor with the fairy sisters.
** Aurora's moment of attack and kick-ass.
** Jay and Xiion fighting for real.
** Taltos wipes the floor with the heroes for a while.
** Aurora fighting Silence Cult Members
%%* CursedWithAwesome: Too many to list...
* CutShort: The story was never officially finished and thus it is in fact a mere Quartet series. Officially moved from DevelopmentHell to finished out in March, 2013. A private revival has been planned by the original creator.
* DarkActionGirl: Sara a half-demon half-feline who happens to also have a thing for chaos and causing it all with that lovable sarcasm of her's.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Dan proves this one as dark energy generation is one of his abilities.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Having multiple writers the story has... some [[ContinuitySnarl minor problems]] between certain scenes. Over all it can be ignored most of the time.
%%* DeusExitMachina
* DoppelgangerAttack: Aurora's many clones of herself although they may act independently tend to be able to gang up on a single person at once.
* ElementalBaggage: Played straight for Sabella most of the time.
* ElementalPowers: Practically everyone has a form of this.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors
* EmpathicWeapon: Subverted; Darkstar is telepathic and can read everyone's minds within 300 feet of himself, technically he could be empathic.
* EveryoneIsASuper: Everyone on Tan'arn (their word for Earth) has a power or ability of some sort.
* EquivalentExchange: Science and Magic both have to give to get, even if it doesn't seem like it at first. Some super powers require an exchange in order to work but not always of equal value.
* FantasticDrug: [[spoiler:A few magical items can be addictive if touched.]]
* FantasticRacism: Lizards get a little flack for this, but there are also the Undergrounders who are, for the most part, [[{{Expy}} Expies]] of the sewer-dwelling Morlocks from the ''ComicBook/XMen''.
* FastTunnelling: Boris has the ability to move 4 to 5 times faster underground then above it.
* FunctionalMagic: The Relic Link's headquarters has a ton of this just floating/sitting/standing around.
* GadgeteerGenius: Brandon and Robert respectively.
* GrandFinale: While unofficial, the fourth web novel sort of has a final feeling to it. As there was nothing after the 4th web novel it never had a true grand finale.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Apparently EVERYONE can interbreed, although it doesn't seem likely that they would. In a short story it is mentioned that not many want to.
* HalloweenEpisode: All of Hallow's Eve is this.
* HealingFactor: Xiion can activate his own healing power and regenerate his body at a rapid acceleration.
* HealingHands:
** Coatl is the one person who actually has this power as a real ability and not a spell. Seeing as how its a super-rare ability in this world, she keeps it well hidden.
** Kalinda has a healing spell that requires her to touch her allies to transfer the healing.
** Athero has healing magic and a lay-on-hands type spell that allows him to do massive regeneration to a single person.
* HeelFaceTurn: Sara does this, as does Darkstar... both go from the semi-bad to semi-good. Maybe this is ChaoticNeutral...
* AnIcePerson: Frost can freeze anything and he has an eternally on ice-aura, he also is [[BerserkButton very scary]] when pushed too far.
* ImmuneToDrugs: Subverted a little; Xiion is resistant to drugs and liqueur but not immune.
* InSpiteOfANail: The history panes out like a parallel dimension. The only things that diverge is when the [[SlidingScaleOfAlternateHistoryPlausibility history]] goes past 2007 in the timeline.
* InTheBlood: All powers are passed from parent to child in the Trinton universe and can not be physically stolen with out a power-stealing feat.
* LightEmUp: On of Dan's powers is creating and manipulating lights.
* LightIsNotGood: Asheyah.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: Subverted to a degree, Aurora can make copies of her self...up to 3 to be exact. Normally these clones have her personality and traits on rare occasions they have [[EldritchAbomination something else entirely]].
* LivingWeapon: Darkstar with his normal form being a floating scythe.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Well this is self-explanatory honestly, over 10 main and 30 secondary characters over all.
* {{Lunacy}}: The goddess of the moon and angelic being known as Faith.
* MakingASplash: Only Sabella fills this role with her water control and ability to melt and re-freeze it with out the aid of heat or cold at will.
* ManlyGay: Frost is a masculine, muscled, and level-headed ex-detective who just happens to be gay.
* MesACrowd: Used mostly by Aurora who can duplicate herself up to three times.
* MessianicArchetype: The mysterious Jade [[spoiler:and Dan who defiantly counts as this most of the time due to the fact that if he is hurt or far to freighted his consciousness slips a little and he goes on auto-pilot where he transforms to all white with huge angel-like wings and his powers get cranked UpToEleven]].
* NanoMachines: Silence story arc is pretty much BUILT on them.
* NonElemental: Magic... Science... you take your pick here folks.
* NonMammalMammaries: The one or two art-pieces match all other [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom art]] works by having most characters with breasts. Even the story implies that most females now have them, despite the fact that it was handwaved with "They Interbred and developed."
* OrphanedSeries: The story was left unfinished before the final 5th story.
* PettingZooPeople: The whole cast of the stories.
* PlayingWithFire: Jay, Sara, even a mini-foe named Scorch all fill this troupe nicely.
* PostModernMagik: Robots use magic, cars can run on it, and its fairly practical now a days.
* PowerCopying: Jasmine has power duplication and can copy any other power (excluding magic, body-based, and summons) with-in at least 1000 yards range of herself. It seems like she can duplicate up to three powers at once but does so at an uncommon rate, typically sticking to one power to toy with for a while.
* PoweredArmor: Boris is the only character to have ANY form of armor and each crystal color he generates out of his body has various effects like red deflects energy attacks, blue absorbs physical attacks, purple makes him immune to mind attacks, etc.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: The goddess of the sun and demonic being known as Asheyah...even if she is [[FanService nude]] at all times.
* PowersAsPrograms: All powers seem to be interchangeable if someone can absorb, copy, instill, or steal them.
* PunchClockVillain: The Silence Cult really do fall under this trope.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: This happens off and on in the story as it is also an online message board and game of sorts; authors come and go.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Often unmentioned but really Boris, Sabella, Dan, and even Robert have at least a few of these to survive the very use of their powers.
* SinisterScythe: Darkstar IS a scythe and he is sinister looking
* SpiritualSuccessor: In a round-about way ''Literature/TheVu'' is a successor to parts of TrintonChronicles using parts of it for inspiration and references.
* SummonMagic: Subverted to a degree. All True Summoners have the power to make bargains and deals and marks to summon objects, people, and beings at will with out magic. The mystic version takes a long time and involves [[HermeticMagic rituals]] to do the right way. Robert is the only known character to have this power in the current character line up.
* SuperStrength: Kalinda... all the way....
* TimeMaster: Dan fills this trope, he controls time at will after all.
* VideoGameAdaptation: As of October 2011 an RPG game was being worked on to adapt TrintonChronicles to a broader audience but was CutShort by [[DevelopmentHell a change]] in direction.
* WebSerialNovel: The board posts were all saved in Document format for all to read.
* YinYangBomb: Faith & Asheyah fill this troupe together as one is angelic while the other is demonic.

* PostModernMagik: Robots use magic, cars can run on it, and its fairly practical now a days.
* PowerCopying: Jasmine has power duplication and can copy any other power (excluding magic, body-based, and summons) with-in at least 1000 yards range of herself. It seems like she can duplicate up to three powers at once but does so at an uncommon rate, typically sticking to one power to toy with for a while.
* PoweredArmor: Boris is the only character to have ANY form of armor and each crystal color he generates out of his body has various effects like red deflects energy attacks, blue absorbs physical attacks, purple makes him immune to mind attacks, etc.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: The goddess of the sun and demonic being known as Asheyah...even if she is [[FanService nude]] at all times.
* PowersAsPrograms: All powers seem to be interchangeable if someone can absorb, copy, instill, or steal them.
* PunchClockVillain: The Silence Cult really do fall under this trope.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: This happens off and on in the story as it is also an online message board and game of sorts; authors come and go.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Often unmentioned but really Boris, Sabella, Dan, and even Robert have at least a few of these to survive the very use of their powers.
* SinisterScythe: Darkstar IS a scythe and he is sinister looking
* SpiritualSuccessor: In a round-about way ''Literature/TheVu'' is a successor to parts of TrintonChronicles using parts of it for inspiration and references.
* SummonMagic: Subverted to a degree. All True Summoners have the power to make bargains and deals and marks to summon objects, people, and beings at will with out magic. The mystic version takes a long time and involves [[HermeticMagic rituals]] to do the right way. Robert is the only known character to have this power in the current character line up.
* SuperStrength: Kalinda... all the way....
* TimeMaster: Dan fills this trope, he controls time at will after all.
* VideoGameAdaptation: As of October 2011 an RPG game was being worked on to adapt TrintonChronicles to a broader audience but was CutShort by [[DevelopmentHell a change]] in direction.
* WebSerialNovel: The board posts were all saved in Document format for all to read.
* YinYangBomb: Faith & Asheyah fill this troupe together as one is angelic while the other is demonic.
