History Roleplay / LordsOfShadow

* CloningBlues: Basically all of the Harbingers once they figure out they've gotta keep fighting till they win.

** Mike, when he's not dead, plays this extremely straight.
* BerserkButton: Jack when administering his Luggage Treatment.
* {{BFG}}: Mike likes to carry these around.

* BigBulkyBomb: Sunburst. Enough said.
* BigDamnHeroes: The Harbingers do this one very well.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: When a Harbinger kills something.

* EmpoweredBadassNormal: They're also not quite human anymore.

* FirstLawOfResurrection: Basically the reason it was started.

* GotVolunteered: Some of the Harbingers wound up in the Project this way.
* GenreSavvy: The Harbingers are this.
** It also helps that thread runner [[MrCombine UHC]] is a Troper.
* KilledOffForReal: This doesn't exist

* RomanceSidequest: Mike and Freya. In spades.
* StartOfDarkness: Everyone knows this thread is the start of it for poor Will.

* SuperSoldier: Check and double check!

* TheNothingAfterDeath: Also doesn't exist thanks to cloning.
* ThereIsNoKIllLikeOverkill: The whole reason for the Harbingers.

* UsedFuture: Outside the shining cities, the world and technology has this feel to it.
* WatchingTroyBurn: Prime is currently undergoing this.

* BigDamnVillains: Everyone's evil, but at least the Harbingers are doing evil for good.
** This may also be VillainousRescue if more Harbingers or Peacekeepers show up to help fight.

* UpToEleven: As cold and snowy as Prime is in it's summer, it gets cold enough in the winter citizens have to wear heated suits and breathing gear to walk outside.

* EvilVsEvil: Anywhere else, the Assembly would be considered a Totalitarian regime promoting a CrapsaccharineWorld , but when the alternative is something worse...

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Often combined with CrowningMomentOfAwesome when a Harbinger kills something in the most epic of ways.

* BadAss: The Harbingers abilities let them be this in epic proportions.

Take Superman (Sans invunerability) throw him in Iron Man's armor, have them cloned after every death, and what do you get? Humanity's last hope.

LordsOfShadow follows the Harbingers, VillainProtagonist Super Soldiers designed for the sole purpose of fighting sentient darkness called the Shadow.

It can be found [[http://thefallen.createforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8 here.]], along with it's Sister RP, FallenAngelRP

!!The ''Lords of Shadow'' series contains the following tropes:

* AngstWhatAngst: Played straight in the main RP and averted in the backstory. The Harbingers were originally manic depressives, but after so many deaths, they literally laugh at the idea of Death.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: After detonating the Sunburst bomb, Jack walks past and ignores the Assembly.
** In case tropes have not read the RP, The Assembly are the leaders of the Totalitarian state.

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: Jack looks down at the Seed for a brief second. Something indescribably alien looks [[OhCrap back]].

* LawfulEvil: The Assembly plays this straight

* BadassAbnormal: They're also not quite human anymore.

* BeyondTheImpossible: As cold and snowy as Prime is in it's summer, it gets cold enough in the winter citizens have to wear heated suits and breathing gear to walk outside.
