History Roleplay / APHTomorrowNeverDies

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: There's a limit of seven characters per player, so it's not surprising that the total number of accounts usually hovers around 80-90 (not including staff accounts).

''[[http://tomorrowneverdies.proboards.com/ AHP: Tomorrow Never Dies]]'' is a [[PlayByPostGames Play-By-Post Forum Roleplay]], set in London and based off the concept of the anime and manga series ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'', using characters from said series as well as original characters inspired by the theme of personified nations.

The plot itself is loosely based upon the ''Franchise/JamesBond'' franchise; several characters serve as Agents, and the MI6 is a prominent body. The main antagonists are the FOL, a Europe-wide terrorist faction, consisting mostly of young people.

* GadgetWatches: The Q Department supplies the agents of MI6 with various gadgets for their missions, such as laser lipsticks, killer stilettos, bullet proof couture fashion, gadget watches, a BriefcaseBlaster, etc. Thanks to Q, even GogglesDoSomethingUnusual.

* WeDoNotKnowEachOther: There have been a couple of examples, such as Nesia towards the other MI6 agents [[spoiler:when attending Donald's funeral]].

!Tomorrow Never Dies Contains Examples Of:

* AlternateUniverse: To Hetalia.
* AntiVillain: Some of the Lawless fall under this category.
* AnyoneCanDie: Yes, even the canons! [[spoiler:Though there are also occasions of NotQuiteDead]]
* BiTheWay / {{Gayborhood}}: The majority of the characters are either bisexual, pansexual or homosexual; there's fewer that are exclusively heterosexual.
* BigBad: There are various prominent villains in the story, including [[TheMafiya Bratva boss Ivan Braginski]], [[FauxAffablyEvil terrorist group leader Séamus Ó Ceallaigh]], and the Sadist Italian Mafia boss, Sera Russo. [[spoiler:Don’t forget [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Michael Collins]] / Mihai Chimet]]
* BigDamnHeroes:
** The Agents.
** Independent characters often fit this trope, seeing as how most of them are either [[PrivateDetective detectives]] or [[UsefulNotes/BritishCoppers police officers]].
* BigScrewedUpFamily: The Kirklands/British Isles. Enough said.
* [[BritainIsOnlyLondon The World Is Only London]]: Despite hosting characters of a whole range of nationalities, London is the only location on the board (though external trips are roleplayed on the in-character chatbox or over Skype, and can be considered part of Liquid canon).

* CloseKnitCommunity: The Aylesbury Estate is said to be this, despite the fact it's [[CityNoir falling to pieces...]]

* DamselInDistress / DistressedDude: A few characters fall into this trope on occasion.
* DeathTrap: Some of the melodramatic villains like to use these. [[spoiler:Donald is BuriedAlive by his ArchNemesis. Similarly, his twin sister is [[DrowningPit almost drowned]] and locked in a warehouse rigged to explode…]]
* DoubleAgent: There are a few running around London.

* FemmeFatale: There's a good few kickass ladies amongst the cast, including Nicoleta, Aoife and Sera, to name a few. [[spoiler:Actually, pretty much all the female characters fit the category in one way or another...]]

* HoneyTrap: A few characters fit this role.

* IHaveManyNames: Some characters just have too many aliases to count. Agents may take up many different identities for different missions, whilst others have different titles for different jobs.
** Aoife, Donald, Ciel, Charlotte, Séamus, and Léa are all guilty of this, to name a few. Nicoleta is the worst though.
-->'''Nicoleta's custom title after the staff lost count of all her code names:''' "Goddammit!"

* IncompetenceInc: The Government workers' office.
* LethalEatery: The House of Chinese restaurant has awful food...

-->'''Amy to Asu, out of character:''' "LONGEST SHORT DAY EVER!"
* LoveTriangle: TND has them. [[spoiler:Examples include Mihai, Aoife and Vash, or Ivan, Nesia and Kyle.]]
* MeaningfulFuneral: And more than one, rather unfortunately.

* PlentyOfBlondes: Since it's a Hetalia roleplay, and all...
** Also there are a few cases of GreenEyedRedhead characters running around.

* SecretGovernmentWarehouse: The SIS building counts as one.

* TheGoodOldBritishComp: Universities such as Westminster, Cambridge and Oxford.
-->'''"Looking For A Place To Stay?", the housing reference thread:''' "Okay, but does anyone even go to Westminster?"

* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: The FOL stands for Front of Liberation. [[spoiler:It's not really clear what they're 'liberating', though...]]

* SecretIntelligenceService: Most of the characters are, in one way or another, connected to MI6 (or at least the [[GovernmentAgencyOfFiction fictional version]] of it).

* BigDamnHeroes: The Agents.
** Independent characters often fit this trope as well, seeing as how most of them are either [[PrivateDetective detectives]] or [[BritishCoppers police officers]].

* ToneShift: The threads on the board range from light-hearted and comedic [[spoiler:Carmen teaching the agents how to tango]] to dark and dramatic [[spoiler:Donald’s confrontation on Tower Bridge]].

* DoubleAgent

-->'''"Amy to Asu, out of character:''' "LONGEST SHORT DAY EVER!"

* ToneShift: The threads on the board range from light-hearted and comedic [[spoiler:for example, Carmen teaching the agents how to tango]] to dark and dramatic [[spoiler:for example, Donald’s confrontation on Tower Bridge]].

-->'"LONGEST SHORT DAY EVER!"'

** BlatantLies: Most characters will tell them at some point in the story. After all, the majority of the plot is built on secrecy, espionage, revenge, and crime.

* GadgetWatches: The Q Department supplies the agents of MI6 with various gadgets for their missions, such as laser lipsticks, killer stilettos, bullet proof couture fashion, gadget watches, etc. Thanks to Q, even GogglesDoSomethingUnusual.

(APH:) [[http://tomorrowneverdies.proboards.com/ Tomorrow Never Dies]] is a [[PlayByPostGames Play-By-Post Forum Roleplay]], set in the London of 2015 and based off the concept of the anime and manga series [[Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia Hetalia]], using characters from said series as well as original characters inspired by the theme of personified nations.

* AnyoneCanDie: Yes, even the canons!

** Independent characters often fit this trope, as well, seeing as how most of them are either [[PrivateDetective detectives]] or [[BritishCoppers police officers]].

* PutOnABus: The rules state that the staff reserve the right to kill off a dropped character. However, since that has yet to come into effect, this trope is the most frequent way of explaining where they went.

* SecretIntelligenceService: Most of the characters are, in one way or another, connected to MI6.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture

The plot itself is loosely based upon the ''[[Franchise/JamesBond James Bond]]'' franchise; several characters serve as Agents, and the MI6 is a prominent body. The main antagonists are the FOL, a Europe-wide terrorist faction, consisting mostly of young people. The Play-By-Post system is divided into Liquid and Linear sections, the former normally used for general slice of life and relationship development roleplays, the latter for the progression of the plot itself. Linear posts make up the 'real time' of the board, and characters may take up Missions which involve them in the Linear process, as well as - depending on the outcome of said Mission - awarding or retracting Reputation Points to the character.

* AerithAndBob: Due to the nature of Hetalia characters, as well as the mix of ethnic backgrounds in real-life London, it's not surprising that characters with names such as Arthur, Peter, Donald, and Clara rub shoulders with characters called Astrit, Ganbaatar, and Joachim.
* AllThereInTheManual: Asides from the obvious rules and regulations, the Reputation Points, character trackings, bank trackings, announcements (and occasional newspaper-style clippings highlighting recent events) are organised within The Crown Royal Gazette. This affectionate title also serves as the name of the in-character chatango box.

* AnyoneCanDie: Yes, even the canons!
* ArtifactOfDoom / ChekhovsGun: The Diadem. It's actual purpose and relevance to the story is anyone's guess at the moment, though.

* BigDamnHeroes: The Agents, during the first story arc.

* DudeWheresMyReward: Not all Missions give out generous rewards... Actually, most of them aren't all that generous at all.
-->'''Reward for the Guildhall Mission, "Chilli-eating Contest":''' "-10 Rep points, a full stomach, possibly a bit of weight gain..."
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: There are Lawless with relatives and/or love interests in the other categories, often conflicting ones. [[spoiler:Estelle, a mafia boss, and Iain, head of Q Division, for example.]]
* FemmeFatale: There's a good few kickass ladies amongst the cast, including Nicoleta, Estelle, Aoife and Sera, to name a few. [[spoiler:Actually, pretty much all the female characters fit the category in one way or another...]]
* FeudingFamilies: Though it's really just [[RunningGag exaggerated to the point of a joke]], the Kirklands and the Balkans (the latter not even a family) can fall under this category. Things get especially heated out-of-character when a new player appears on the board, with either side convincing said player to join their "family".
** Less so recently, however, as it was decided there were too many Kirklands. The Balkans are still trying to create a full set, however.
* FiveManBand: Two, actually, that can be derived from the Feuding Families above:

[[BigScrewedUpFamily "The Kirklands"]]
||TheHero||Arthur||
||TheLancer||Donald (his past drags him into TokenEvilTeammate territory; he's repented since then, however)||
||TheSmartGuy / BigBrotherMentor||Iain||
||TheBigGuy||Aoife (of the CuteBruiser variety)||
||TheChick||Cerys||
||TheSixthRanger||Sophia (who was actually the Seventh ranger, until [[AwesomeAussie Steve Kirkland]] was PutOnABus)||
||TagalongKid||Peter||

[[HuskyRusskie "The Balkans"]] (whom, in comparison to the Kirklands, can be considered a FiveBadBand)
||TheHero / [[spoiler:TheBigBad]]||Mihai and Nicoleta||
||TheLancer||Heracles (though he shows some traits of TheBigGuy, too. Frequently floats into OnlySaneMan territory, during Balkan-centric roleplays)||
||TheSmartGuy||Marko (also shares some traits of TheBigGuy)||
||TheBigGuy||Vesna (another CuteBruiser that has aspects of TheChick, as well)||
||TheChick||Athena||
||TheSixthRanger||Zoran||
||TeamDad||Sadik||
||TagalongKid||Astrit and Andrei (the latter showing aspects of TheChick)||

* LethalEatery: Yao's restaurant.

(APH:) [[http://tomorrowneverdies.proboards.com/ Tomorrow Never Dies]] is a [[PlayByPostGames Play-By-Post Forum Roleplay]], set in the London of 2015 and based off the concept of the anime and manga series [[AxisPowersHetalia Hetalia]], using characters from said series as well as original characters inspired by the theme of personified nations.

* AlternateReality: To a degree.

The plot itself is loosely based upon the [[JamesBond James Bond]] franchise; several characters serve as Agents, and the MI6 is a prominent body. The main antagonists are the FOL, a Europe-wide terrorist faction, consisting mostly of young people. The Play-By-Post system is divided into Liquid and Linear sections, the former normally used for general slice of life and relationship development roleplays, the latter for the progression of the plot itself. Linear posts make up the 'real time' of the board, and characters may take up Missions which involve them in the Linear process, as well as - depending on the outcome of said Mission - awarding or retracting Reputation Points to the character.

||TheSixthRanger||[[TheEvilGenius Tomislav]] (though he definitely qualifies for TheSmartGuy, too). Role was filled by [[{{UsefulNotes/Serbia}} Miloš]], until he was PutOnABus; Vesna and Marko still make references to him, though.||

* AerithAndBob: Due to the nature of Hetalia characters, as well as the mix of ethnic backgrounds in real-life London, it's not surprising that characters with names such as Arthur, Peter, Donald and Clara, rub shoulders with characters called Astrit, Ganbaatar and Joachim.
