History Roleplay / CityOfLostCharacters

* SoMuchForStealth: Ghostfreak's attempt to sneak into the library is foiled by Undyne charging in the front door. {{Subverted}} in that Miss Tairee saw Ghostfreak immediately and was never being stealthy in the first place.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Miss Tairee usually hides her Southern accent, but it slips out when she's particularly stressed or upset.

* PunchClockVillain: While Miss Tairee works for the presumed BigBad, she isn't really evil herself, and feels especially sorry for the children trapped in the city.

** Actually deconstructed on day 3, when [[spoiler:the harsh cold causes many [=NPCs=] to become stuck in a loop of dying from exposure, regenerating somewhere outside, and getting instantly struck down from the deadly hail, [[AndIMustScream repeating this process over and over until the day comes to an end.]]

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: In-universe, most characters consider the Jedi order an opressive cult after Darth Marr tells them they forced to exile anyone that refused to supress their emotions when using the Force. Then again, a Sith lord is not the most impartial person to talk about the jedi.
* {{Beat}}: Tropers/{{Ud The Imp}} specializes in these, as several of his posts include the line "A beat".

* MagicLibrarian: Miss Tairee, the librarian, is the mysterious kidnapper's employee, and she helps and gives information to anyone who asks; she can apparently rewrite reality, at least within the confines of the library.

* {{Retcon}}: When he first enters the city, Ben says he can only turn into ten aliens. After mentioning events of [[WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}} his series]] that happen when he already had access to twelve, this is retconned to Ben dismising the existence of Ripjaws (because his powers are too specific) and Wildvine (because he's relatively new).
* ScrewTheRulesItsTheApocalypse: Legion's justification for breaking open the door of a liquor store and looting it is that the other characters would otherwise freeze to death.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: In-universe, most characters consider the Jedi order an opressive cult after Darth Marr tells them they exiled anyone that refused to supress their emotions. Then again, this a Sith lord we're talking about.

-->''It then turned to Rex, idly noting that it was turning a lot these days.''

* ResurrectiveImmortality: If anyone dies in the city, their body [[NoBodyLeftBehind disappears]] and they're almost immediately resurrected in some other spot. Unfortunately, this also includes [[StayingAlive villains]]...

* HenshinHero: Because the Valsione was too big for this RP, it became Lune Zoldark's other form.
* HungryJungle: The day 2 theme.

* MundaneUtility: Specter Knight considers it a waste to slash apart bookcases...with a scythe.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Legion becomes depressed for a while after it accidentally hurts Ben.

* RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic: Averted: Locoman does a fantastic job of mimicking both Rick and Morty's distinct, stammering speech styles.

** Kieri also has a stammer.

* ColdSnap: Day Three.

* ThePlace

-->'''Loco!Rick:''' So we gotta just… we gotta just roll- we gotta just roll with the punches here, Morty. Can you do that, Morty? R-r-roll with the punches? It's the only way we-we're gonna survive out here.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: If anyone dies in the city, their body [[NoBodyLeftBehind disappears]] and they're almost immediately resurrected in some other spot. Unfortunately, this also includes [[StayingAlive villains]]...
* StarfishLanguage: The ten-dimensional "Universal Script" used by Miss Tairee. It's not only incomprehensible, but downright painful to look at for most people.
* SuddenLackOfSignal: Several people experience loss of connectivity upon arrival.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Gon, despite coming from a rather mundane universe without fantastic elements, isn't too fazed about being suddenly transported into a city full of magic and aliens. Though he does note that [[WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}} a teenage kid transforming into an alien]] is a bit odd, since "no one in his line of work can do that".
* VirtualSoundtrack: Key moments (such as boss battles or the beginning of a new day) are underscored by the GM with [=YouTube=] links to appropriate songs.

-->Those from universes advanced enough were mostly taking out their personal communication devices and trying to use them fruitlessly.

Though he does note that [[WesternAnimation/BenTen a teenage kid transforming into an alien]] is a bit odd, since "no one in his line of work can do that".
