History Roleplay / Genessia

* SmallNameBigEgo: How [[Franchise/{{Disgaea}} Laharl]] is received by many of the other characters in the game. He calls himself the 'Overlord of Genessia,' but nobody takes his claim to power seriously. Except for [[TheCheerleader Flonne]], of course.

* ShowWithinAShow: [[Manga/GekkanShoujoNozakiKun Nozaki]] drew and sold manga in Genessia City. [[Manga/SailorMoon Minako Aino]] in particular was a huge fan.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating:
** Nobody likes [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Kefka]]. ''Nobody.''
** [[OriginalCharacter John 'Everyman' Smith]], a.k.a. 'the Jerks,' has an extremely offensive and off-putting personality. While this is entirely intentional by his player, it shows just how little the character is liked InUniverse, when he tried to run for Attleton's Guardian, and lost. [[LandslideElection Badly]].

* CastHerd: ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' has this in spades. The ''Manga/FairyTail'' cast has since risen to power, but eventually fell into fourth place behind ''VideoGame/TouhouProject'' and ''Manga/AttackOnTitan''.

* GoodIsNotNice: A lot of the Guardians can come across as this. Ted in particular was a straight-up KnightTemplar, with [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Satori]] endorsing [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Mewtwo]]'s plot to simply [[MindRape twist the Hands of Decays' minds]] into submission.

-->'''Mavis:''' "[[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming You didn't kill Precht, Zeref. Hades did]]."

* MemeticSexGod: InUniverse example: [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Weiss Schnee]] became this, much to her own chagrin, thanks in no small part to her hologram being the first thing most characters see upon awakening, and this being [[http://genessia.dreamwidth.org/510531.html parodied]] in the newspaper. The title "Holo-Babe" has even become an InSeriesNickname for her, though calling her that to her face is something of a BerserkButton.

** As of January 2017, mysterious NPCs now show up to carry dead bodies back to the Bay, and into a hidden chamber that characters cannot enter due to a magical barrier. What happens in there, [[NothingIsScarier nobody knows]].

* EnemyMine: [[Manga/FairyTail Zeref]] has so far managed to keep [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Tartaros]] from continuing their war against Fairy Tail by convincing them that whoever - or ''what''ever - managed to bring them to Genessia is more of a threat than they are. It's anyone's guess how long he can keep this up, especially since [[TokenGoodTeammate Silver]] was PutOnABus. After Mard Geer dropped, Tartaros as a whole was reduced to Sayla, who has since dedicated herself only to [[UndyingLoyalty serving Zeref.]]

-->'''Mavis:''' "You didn't kill Precht, Zeref. Hades did."

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Despite a rough patch when she first arrived, [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Azula]] was been promoted to this, especially after she was elected to be the Guardian of Fayren. She has since been PutOnABus.
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating:
** Nobody likes [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Kefka]]. ''Nobody.''
** [[OriginalCharacter John 'Everyman' Smith]], a.k.a. 'the Jerks,' has an extremely offensive and off-putting personality to the point where even ''other players'' have complained about him. While this is entirely intentional by his player, it shows just how little the character is liked InUniverse, when he tried to run for Attleton's Guardian, and lost. [[LandslideElection Badly]].

* ShipperOnDeck: [[Manga/SailorMoon Minako Aino]] started an entire dating service because of it. This also applies to pretty much the entire ''Manga/GekkanShoujoNozakiKun'' cast.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Nobody likes [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Kefka]]. ''Nobody.''

* GoodIsNotNice: A lot of the Guardians can come across as this. Ted in particular was a straight-up KnightTemplar, with [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Sakuya]] endorsing [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Mewtwo]]'s plot to simply [[MindRape twist the Hands of Decays' minds]] into submission.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: InUniverse example. [[Manga/FairyTail Lucy Heartfilia]] wrote a SelfInsertFic of her and and a similar CaptainErsatz of Natsu under the pen name of "Ms. Filliah".

* PortalCrossroadWorlde: The leading theory InUniverse as to type of place Genessia is, given the subarchways... and what happens when the barrier above them breaks.

* GottaCatchEmAll: Yes, [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}}]] appeared in Genessia, along with the means to catch them; and no we're not just talking about characters from the series being applied to the game. Those that scored the highest during the event even got to ''keep'' them.

* ShipperOnDeck: [[Mange/SailorMoon Minako Aino]] started an entire dating service because of it.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Despite a rough patch when she first arrived, [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Azula]] has been promoted to this, especially after she was elected to be the Guardian of Fayren.

* CastHerd: ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' has this in spades. The ''Manga/FairyTail'' cast has since risen to power, but eventually fell into fourth place ''VideoGame/TouhouProject'' and ''Manga/AttackOnTitan''.

** Zeref and Fairy Tail formed anothoer truce once the [[AntimagicalFaction Hands of Decay]] showed up and declared their intent to [[FinalSolution kill all mages]].

* CastHerd: ''WebOriginal/{{RWBY}}'' has this in spades. The ''Manga/FairyTail'' has since risen to power and competes with ''Main/{{touhou}}''.

* EnemyMine: [[Manga/FairyTail Zeref]] has so far managed to keep [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Tartaros]] from continuing their war against Fairy Tail by convincing them that whoever - or ''what''ever - managed to bring them to Genessia is more of a threat than they are. It's anyone's guess how long he can keep this up, especially since [[TokenGoodTeammate Silver]] was PutOnABus.
* EvilIsHammy: In a game with [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Dr. Wily]], [[Franchise/{{Disgaea}} Laharl]], and formerly [[WesternAnimation/MastersOfTheUniverse Skeletor]], the moment another character like this shows up on the network, everyone knows exactly what to expect from them.

* CastHerd: ''WebOriginal/{{RWBY}}'' has this in spades. The ''Manga/FairyTail'' cast temporarily stole the crown for biggest cast from them, but it has since been reclaimed.

* EvilIsHammy: In a game with [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Dr. Wily]], [[Franchise/{{Disgaea}} Laharl]], and formerly [[WesternAnimation/HeMan Skeletor]], the moment another character like this shows up on the network, everyone knows exactly what to expect from them.
* IncomingHam: [[WesternAnimation/HeMan Skeletor's]] arrival in spades. To this day, it is still legendary, both InUniverse and without.

* CastHerd: ''WebOriginal/RWBY'' has this in spades. The ''Manga/FairyTail'' cast temporarily stole the crown for biggest cast from them, but it has since been reclaimed.

[[http://genessia.dreamwidth.org/profile Genessia]] is a JournalRoleplay game hosted on [[http://www.dreamwidth.org/ Dreamwidth]]. A {{Jamjar}} game with a very heavy emphasis on [[RunningTheAsylum player-run plots]] instead of moderator-run plots, players are given an insane amount of freedom in which to shape the world in almost any way they see fit, including in-character elections of guardians of the various cities, and where [[VillainOfTheWeek villains]] are actively encouraged to cause chaos for the other characters to [[TheCall respond in kind]].
