History Roleplay / EclipseAHeroesRPG

Quite possibly the longest-running - if not ''the'' longest, given the reception of the parent show's latter seasons and its later miniseries - forum RPG based in the Heroes universe, ''Eclipse: A Heroes RPG'' is a play-by-post roleplaying game which began in July of 2008.

* RelationshipUpgrade: Among so many others over the years, Jenna and Nireva, Devon and Amalia (both started as pairs of roommates/cohabitants). As well as Marshall and Jessica (co-workers to lovers).

* TheyDo: Ryan Alcroft and Adele Couteau. After hooking up in the latter half of 2008 (the summer of 2009 in real time), it took them until the last few months of ''2016'' to finally get their plans together and get married.

** BaldBlackLeaderGuy: The ruthless head of a small crime syndicate, able to manipulate gravity, well-regarded amongst his criminal peers and subordinates? In addition to being a Main/ScaryBlackMan to boot, Kiros Monroe was a villainous one of these.

As a result of breaking away from the show's plot in such an abrupt fashion; only matching its canon verbatim up until the timeskip following the airborne explosion at Kirby Plaza (Season 1's finale, ''How To Stop An Exploding Man''), Eclipse and its denizens set out on a divergent timeline all its own. Starting from their own Volume Three, the site has made it up to Volume Ten.

** WritersCannotDoMath: A minor example of this explains the discrepancy in the otherwise "real time (vaguely) matches forum time" world of Eclipse. With the time taken to finish off threads resulting in one centred around Ryan Alcroft's 20th birthday only getting started in 2010 (he was born in 1989), the year of his meeting Adele - thankfully never explicitly mentioned at the time - was nudged back to fix the error.

* AllHallowsEve: On most years, an open-to-all (barring character-specific logistics) Hallowe'en thread has been created:

* Flashback: As well as dealing with possible [[FlashForward flashforwards]], the ''Multiverse'' section of the forum is where these can reside. That is, if they're not [[FlashbackCut flashback cuts]] that relate to the thread in question.
* CrossReferencedTitles: Being a forum, this can happen whenever a player wishes. One good example, which also counted as a Main/CallBack, was Ryan and Adele's relationship. Referencing a conversation they had, the thread in which Ryan proposed was titled ''"Creative And Memorable"''. Nearly six years later, when the time finally came for them to get married, a new thread was created. Its title? ''"Creating The Memorable"''.

** ''A Hallowe'en Mentality'' for 2012

* [[Main/CharacterOutlivesActor Characters Outlive Player]]: Following the death of Tina (bitememinime) in 2014, the characters she left behind were neither erased from the canon or explicitly killed off.
** And, to further invert [[Main/TheCharacterDiedWithHim The Characters Died With Her]], a close friend (the player behind then-Company Director Grace Harper) adopted Tina's Company agent Roxanne Anderson in order to perpetuate her legacy.

* CrossReferencedTitles: Being a forum, this can happen whenever a player wishes. One good example, which also counted as a Main/CallBack, was Ryan and Adele's relationship.

Nearly six years later, when the time finally came for them to get married, a new thread was created. It's title? ''"Creating The Memorable"''.

* MassSuperEmpoweringEvent: During the tenure of former leader Noah Rydberg, Ark Industries publicly demonstrated an experiment in 2010 that, albeit temporarily, resulted in this. Simply dubbed ''April Fourth'' after the fact, numerous miscalculations resulted in one disaster compounding another. What was originally meant to synthetically grant abilities to a select few people in a televised press conference ended up giving ''everyone on the planet'' an ability for four and a half minutes. The panic which stemmed from people suddenly manifesting a superpower they couldn't control resulted in the deaths of a quarter of a ''billion'' people, making it technically the biggest in-universe terrorist incident by numerous orders of magnitude.
