History Roleplay / CelestialRefresh

%% * TheLostWoods

* NiceHat: Some characters (notably Mordecai) seem to be a little too focused on Leonora's mitre.

%%* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Within the nature of the RP, but some RPers can be examples themselves, RPing double-digits worth of characters by themselves.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Several characters, sometimes lampshaded by characters not used to strange hair colors.

* DefrostingIceKing: Very minor case with Hawke. In light of losing his power base and having to deal with normal people instead of complete maniacs, {{Smug Snake}}s, and warmongering bosses to get it back, he's being forced to interact socially to garner connections. [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Reisen]] and his [[ThoseTwoGuys soldiers]] are actively trying to encourage this, but it's unlikely to happen on a major scale.

%% * StandardStatusEffect: Many make their rounds [[CallARabbitASmeerp under different names]].

* OneOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: In a faction mostly grounded around medieval fantasy, Isabella's the only one who uses [[AnachronismStew futuristic]] [[SchizoTech technology.]]

Starting out as Celestial Eruption back in 2006 on Invisionfree, Celestial Refresh is a statistical [[PlayByPostGames Play By Post Game]] centering around characters and settings from various video games, anime, and a few other odd sources being ripped from their homeland and thrown into a new universe, simply called TheMultiverse. [[FishOutOfTemporalWater Many don't take this]] [[CrapsaccharineWorld very well at first]], however, over time, characters learn to adjust to their new homes and neighbors, and veterans are generally unfazed by the zanier parts of both magic and technology, regardless of their native home's surroundings. Despite its dips into rather depressing situations, it does have its sillier and more lighthearted moments.

!!Tropes related to CRRP:

[[folder:Story/In character tropes]]

* AerithAndBob: Justified, since the multiverse is the biggest melting pot in existence.

* ArcFatigue: The ZombieApocalypse arc is a prime example, though a lot of members can generally get tired of board-wide arcs due to how long they go on.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Alteri is the most politely reserved Sith Lord one might ever meet, she wears a blindfold and walks around in pristine white robes. And temporarily joined the faction of often incredibly idealistic heroes with a small sprinkle of (at worst) WellIntentionedExtremists with a remarkably optimistic goal of bettering the multiverse with the power of science. Remaining on good term with them even after founding another faction with several other! ... She is a power hungry SocialDarwinist perfectly willing to lie cheat murder torture and steal to get her way. [[PragmaticVillainy If necessary.]]

* DarkestHour: [[spoiler: NO had certainly going through one, with the destruction of their main HQ and the death of their leader, [[VideoGame/{{Fable}} Sparrow]] before disbanding and the few remaining members sticking around as the Radiant Crusade.]]

* DisabilityImmunity: Hina suffers from [[PowerIncontinence Power Incontinence]], [[TheJinx cursing]] anyone who gets too close to her. Pyrrha, however, is unaffected, simply due to the fact she's so [[BornUnlucky unlucky]] in the first place.

%% * FoeYay: SA-X and Metal Sonic, Luxord and Florina, Ganondorf and Zelda...this trope is all over the place.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: Happens often, especially with people like [[VideoGame/{{Dead Rising}} Frank West]] running around. The most infamous example is probably [[VideoGame/{{Metal Wolf Chaos}} Michael Wilson]] using [[VideoGame/{{Okami}} Amatarasu]] as a weapon.
-> Michael: "SUCK ON MY...WOLF PUNCH!"

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/{{Fable}} Sparrow]] was killed during the assault on the NO HQ, and his player specifically stated that he was definitely dead.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Several: [[VideoGame/{{Fable}} The Crawler]] is a good example, as he was [[WordOfGod deliberately taken to kill some characters]].

-> "[The Multiversal Drain] takes away all of [a character's] power, but removes any limitations, turning everyone into an over the top Manga/OnePiece character."
%% %* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Within the nature of the RP, but some RPers can be examples themselves, RPing double-digits worth of characters by themselves.

* NiceHat: Some characters (Notably Mordecai) seem to be a little too focused on Leonora's mitre...
%% * NightmareFuelStationAttendant: [[VideoGame/{{Fable}} The Crawler]]

* SemiDivine: Kanfoe was born as a last-ditch measure to save patapons: a fusion of Kami (the player, who's perceived as a god) and Hero (who's actually mortal, just able to be Reborn infinitely).

* SeenItAll: Surviving more than one zombie infestation, traveling across the multiverse to write tabloids for the Shy Guys, and being middle aged has resulted in Frank really taking things in stride.

* TookALevelInBadass: Recette and Alouette get this treatment, but they still qualify on the right.

*** Alan attacking the NO HQ, specifically targeting three of its big name members (all of whom he had been on amiable terms with previously) in order to create a name for his own new faction, killing [[VideoGame/{{Fable}} Sparrow]] in the process.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Pyrrha believes that if her secret is revealed to the world, she'll be hunted down and killed. In reality, the Multiverse has had more than one high-profile [[HeelFaceTurn Heel-Face Turn]], and she'd likely be accepted. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that her old world, she was right.

[[folder:Meta/Out of Character tropes]]
* BileFascination: The sole reason the [[{{Squick}} "Lizardman"]] and "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Furry Handjob]]" quests are archived for people to read, as far as [[InUniverse the memberbase is concerned]]. Well, that, and to torture members.
* ButtMonkey: Uber is consistently the victim of many colorful forms of harassment.
%% * DeadpanSnarker: Several people. Averted with Mima, who you think is being this, but is actually completely and utterly serious. Maybe.
%% * FanNickname: Nearly every skype regular has one, though most people go by the name of the first character they picked. Notable examples are Frank and Vent, who at certain points in time both switched out Frank West and Vent, were still called this.
%% * HurricaneOfPuns
%% * MemeticMolester: Mima.
%% * MemeticMutation: [[InUniverse YOU GOTTA EARN IT, THE HARD WAY]].
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: In-universe case: numerous system changes caused a failed revolt from a select few of the older members.
[[/folder]]

* CharacterAlignment: In-universe example for general placement. Uses a number system instead of the usual format. Ranges from +5 (IncorruptiblePurePureness) to -5 (Complete Monster)

%% * StandardStatusEffect: Many make their rounds [[CallARabbitASmeerp under different names]]
* WalletOfHolding Considering there isn't a single universal currency (Most collectively call it "c"), most people are carrying several different kinds, from paper to jewels to coins...

%% * DeathMountain:

* AlternateUniverse: Explains a few discrepancies between characters and their original counterparts.

* BlandNameProduct: [[Website/{{twitter}} Flitter!]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Some characters do this often, such as Deadpool or Andrew Hussie.

* CrossoverShip: Given the nature of the site, these are common.

** However, a character can permanently die if the player so chooses to go such a route, examples being [[VideoGame/{{Fire Emblem Elibe}} Hector]] and the aforementioned Sparrow.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: An inevitability, with the alignment system.
* EvilTowerOfOminousness: Kefka's Tower before it was dismantled.
* FantasyKitchenSink
* FloatingContinent: Angel Island. The Mansion, which is the headquarters of the Multiversal Tea Association, also counts on a smaller scale.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Most everyone starts out this way.
* FoeYay: [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou SA-X and Metal Sonic]], [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty Luxord and Florina]], [[UnholyMatrimony Ganondorf and Zelda]]...this trope is all over the place.

* GreenHillZone: Yep.

* InevitableTournament: Some story arcs start with this.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/{{Fable}} Sparrow]] was recently killed during the assault on the NO HQ, and his player specifically stated that it counted as this.]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Within the nature of the RP, but some RPers can be examples themselves, RPing double-digits worth of characters by themselves.
* DreamLand: The Multiversal Tea Association has access to [[VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}} The Hunter's Dream]], which is a limbo-like world that doesn't seem to exist in reality.
* [[WorldOfBadass Multiverse Of Badass]]: Even the TokenMiniMoe is a force to be reckoned with.
* [[CityOfWeirdos Multiverse Of Weirdos]]: No matter what one may look like, they are not the strangest thing the multiverse has to offer.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: [[VideoGame/{{Fable}} The Crawler]]
* NotAsYouKnowThem: Several characters, often due to character development.
* SchizoTech: Flintlocks and assault rifles and HumongousMecha, oh my!
** [[GunsAreWorthless And they all have the same effectiveness!]]
* HubLevel: The Moon serves as this, more specifically, the Tower of Twilight.
* TheLostWoods
* TheMultiverse

* [[ArcWelding Topic Welding]]: The site as a whole generally does this a lot, due to its...''convenient'' time-line.
* WhamEpisode: Alan attacking the NO HQ, specifically targeting three of its big name members (all of whom he had been on amiable terms with previously) in order to create a name for his own new faction, killing [[VideoGame/{{Fable}} Sparrow]] in the process.

* BileFascination: The sole reason the [[{{Squick}} "Lizardman"]] and "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Furry Handjob]]" quests are archived for people to read, as far as [[InUniverse the memberbase is concerned]]. Well that and to torture members.

* MemeticMutation: [[InUniverse YOU GOTTA EARN IT, THE HARD WAY]].
** [[DoubleEntendre Lewd]]

* WikiRule: [[http://celestial-refresh.wikia.com/wiki/Celestial_Refresh_Wiki Here]].

* AnnoyingArrows[=/=]ArbitraryGunPower: Somewhat justified with the Multiversal Drain affecting the deadliness of most weapons.

* CharacterLevel: Battle Levels serve as this.
* CriticalExistenceFailure: Although played straight statistic wise, it's usually good manners to subvert this trope in character.

* [[FireIceLightning Fire Cold Lightning]]: Makes their rounds, along with several other elements, such as Dark, Mental, Bio, Energy, Slashing...

* GlobalCurrency: "c" is this.

* HitPoints
* InAndOutOfCharacter
* KarlMarxHatesYourGuts

** YMMV on if it's as bad as a Table Top RPG. Most [[TableTopGames table top RPGs]] run quickly after you figure out the single core mechanic. CRRP doesn't have a singular core mechanic.

* MoneySpider: Sometimes, although occasionally subverted.
* [[GlobalAirship Multiversal Spaceship]]

* PlayByPostGame
* PointBuySystem[=/=]TechPoints: You can use c to buy new attacks, or improve attack damage, or increase your vitals.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Monsters in quests do not have to abide by the same rules that the [=PCs=] do. A member of the Third Street Saints once had a move that can cast charm and player characters, which is a move that usually can only work on followers.
* [[WebcomicTime Questing Time]]: With the occasional LampshadeHanging for good measure.
* StandardStatusEffect: Many make their rounds [[CallARabbitASmeerp under different names]]
* [[UniversalPoison Universal Wound]]

* AnachronismStew: What happens when you put [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Hyrule]] and [[SonicTheHedgehog Station Square]] within space- or magic-traveling distance of each other

* CrapsaccharineWorld: Many people that were pure and innocent have been turned jaded, and many places like the [[{{Mario}} Mushroom]] and [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga BeanBean]] Kingdoms have been overrun by [[DrivenToMadness Insanity]] and [[Franchise/{{Disgaea}} Demons]], respectively.

* BileFascination: The sole reason the [[{{Squick}} "Lizardman"]] and "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Furry Handjob]]" quests are archived for people to read, as far as [[{{In-universe}} the memberbase is concerned]]. Well that and to torture members.
