!! Tropes used in ''Andalia: The Great Storm''

* AbortedArc: A few.
** The SevenDeadlySins being slowly added to Dante.
** Dante and Kiera's relationship.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Anything made from starsteel.
** Also, Garth's Cat Claw weapons. Mainly because [[spoiler: they are breaking the sound barrier and they are 50% star steel]]

* AndIMustScream: Dante is fully aware while possessed by Argageres.

* ApologeticAttacker: The Black Knight as he attempts to keep Gaille from harming Lady Snede (or herself) as the latter tries to arrest Prince Raize.
* {{BFS}}: Zero Edge, Flare Quasar, and Dante's sword, Zanpakuto
* BiTheWay: Gaille.
* BigBad: Tabarach
* BigDamnHeroes: Stephen's appearing to kill the chimera.
* BigGood: Prince Raize
* CanonImmigrant: [[spoiler: Kyrio Streika, Matthew Streika's father, shows up here before he shows up in New Dawn and helps to defeat Seiskelot.]]
* {{Celibate Hero}}ine: Kiera. Type 5. [[spoiler: Her fiance turned out to be a five thousand year old [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampyre lord.]] He'd had a HeelFaceTurn, and stuck with it until one night he couldn't help himself, and fed on a little girl, about age five. Then he remembered EvilFeelsGood.]]
** [[MasterOfTheMixedMessage May or may not]] be forming a new relationship with Dante. Turns out to be "not" given how recent developments have made any further interaction between them next to impossible.
* CoolSword: Zero Edge and Flare Quasar.

* DebutQueue: As per standard in online role plays.
* DemonicPossession: It happens. Most notably, Dante.

* EldritchAbomination: Tabarach, Argageres, and all demons. The entity that is the source of magic as well.

* {{Expy}}: Raize starts off as a nice, if dull, shonen style protagonist who is completely oblivious to love and ready and rearing to go fight some evil. [[spoiler: However, as the conflict is NOT one where idealism is encouraged, Raize starts showing more and more traits identified with Arthas Menethil, ending up following a similar direction to him. Heck, he even started the whole thing thinking of finding the ice element EvilWeapon, so the similarities might have been deeper than what might be assumed.]]
* FanNickname: [=ArgaDante=] for Dante's possessed form.

* FightingFromTheInside: Dante.
* FlashStep: Garth does this, and shows why such a power can be abused to hell. Not that it helped him against [[GameBreaker Ashley]].

* TheHero: Prince Raize at first.
* HitchhikerHeroes

* [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight 'I Know You're in There Somewhere' Fight]]: Kiera and Possessed Dante but only at the very end. Until He hurt Gaille, Kiera didn't really care what was going on. She just wanted to get the fight over with and find a place to be alone for a while to calm down.
* IdiotHero: Prince Raize.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Kalein.
* KnightOfCerebus: Argageres, as soon as he appeared in the sky, and destroyed a whole damn town in one blast, you knew the bad guys were serious. Up until then we only had Kalein and his ineffectual creations. Not even a Dragon he created could stop the heroes. There was some funny stuff and some FanService from the cast. But then a giant pile of disgusting intestines fly in, its named Argageres. It can influence the undead very heavily and turn them from rotting corpses into pure, unfiltered horrors. After that, he makes Dante demonic, and causes a ZombieApocalypse in the Iron Mountains. The heroes start showing signs of being a DysfunctionJunction and try to kill each other one after the other. Dante is overcome by [[SevenDeadlySins Wrath]]. Kiera had finally had enough of Raize [[IDidWhatIHadToDo "doing what he had to]] [[TheNeedsOfTheMany for the good of his people as a whole"]] and tried to arrest him for crimes ''against'' the people. And then this all leads into a story arc which is more in line with Lovecraftian horror than fantasy. One hell of a doozy of a KnightOfCerebus.
* JerkAss: Jarl mainly. Dante can also have his moments.
* TheLancer: Either Sakkaku or Kiera

* LivingBodysuit: Dante.

* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: Kiera. At least Dante thinks so anyway.

* ProfessionalKiller: The Assassin's Guild.

* PurpleEyes: Dante has them.

* SmallNameBigEgo: Dante again.

* TallDarkAndSnarky: Once again, Dante.
* TheTease: Brìghde is this towards Sakkaku. She uses words though, since, given his stances on nudity, he wouldn't be effected by anything else.
* TriangRelations: Type 4, between Gaille, Raize, and Taysa.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[FanNickname ArgaDante]] to Zachaia. She doesn't die though.
* YoureInsane: Kiera to Raize after stopping him from killing Dante.

* GenreSavvy: Dante again.

* SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes: Sakkaku is a Type IV, Dante is a Type III, and Prince Raize is a Type I after seeing Possessed Dante's power.

* StupidEvil: Leo, a berserk idiot who has chosen to side with the likes of a CompleteMonster, a HiddenAgendaVillain duo, and the EnigmaticMinion among them. All of whom are leagues more powerful than he is.

* [[CelibateHero Celibate Heroine]]: Kiera. Type 5. [[spoiler: Her fiance turned out to be a five thousand year old [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampyre lord.]] He'd had a HeelFaceTurn, and stuck with it until one night he couldn't help himself, and fed on a little girl, about age five. Then he remembered EvilFeelsGood.]]

* CompleteMonster: Garth, just Garth. In New Dawn he is nasty enough, but here, he is very, very willing to not only kill a lot of people, but also to gloat about it.
** Add Zachaia, who he might just be working for. The only thing you need to know about her is that she already has a ghastly written track record of villainy, but here it seems she is at her slimiest.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Zero Edge killed Tabarach's wife. Now he wants to wipe out humanity.

* NightmareFuel: The Demonic Zombies summoned in the Iron Mountains Capitol, the King being a depraved brat despite all this going on, Dante's half possessed form, his planned fully possessed form, Zachaia's list of evil doings before arriving here, and that Plague mentioned below. Argageres is also good for some NauseaFuel too.

* UncannyValley: [=ArgaDante=]'s Possession: Stage 2 form.

* WhatTheHellHero: Taysa, to Raize, after he [[spoiler: burns down a city to stop the Lich Lords' plan]].

* StaffChick: Taysa.

* CareerKillers: The Assassin's Guild.

* CthulhusTux: Dante.

* GrandTheftMe: Argageres on Dante, when possessing him. The end result of Vallegrave's XanatosGambit: the demon lord now has a more reliable and less easily noticeable body, the same power level, the same abilities, and he has the Charms. [[OhCrap Uh Oh.]]

* [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight 'I Know You're in There Somewhere' Fight]]: Kiera and Possessed Dante but only at the very end. Until He [[{{Understatement}} hurt]] Gaille, Kiera didn't really care what was going on. She just wanted to get the fight over with and find a place to be alone for a while to calm down.

** Anything to do with Vermundos Geister.
*** [[WordOfGod Vermundos Geister is Geist, the mysterious assassin who attacked Raize.]]

* ActionGirl: Gaille. She climbed up a dragon and stabbed it in the eye.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[FanNickname ArgaDante to Zachaia.]] She doesn't die though.
