History Roleplay / SonicSpindashRP

* MismatchedEyes: Rock

* SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes: Examples exist for the first four types:
** Type I: Mako, the hapless loser
** Type II: Geoff, who is grumpy and sarcastic but otherwise heroic
** Type III: Rodolf, with (occasionally very) [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice questionable]] actions but ultimately good intentions
** Type IV: Rock, who just kind of [[HeroWithAnFInGood kind of sucks at being good]]

The [[http://sonic.spindash.net/ Sonic Spindash RP]] (often shortened to SSRP) is a [[PlayByPostGame forum-based roleplay]] based on... well, [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog take a wild guess]], with an exclusive focus on the game canon. The current iteration of the SSRP, started in March 2010, is the most recent in an [[LongRunners almost ten-years-running]] series of Sonic [=RP=]s, and is in the middle of its fourth[[hottip:*:well, fifth, but two ran somewhat-concurrently, and are both filed as chapter three]] story arc.

Its stories have taken it through an Eggman-based arc, a combination MacGuffin hunt/[[TournamentArc Tournament Arc]] with a smarmy villain, a mystery story in a far-flung land, a [[IncrediblyLamePun space arc]] on the Space Colony ARK that attempted to work [[SonicChronicles Sonic Chronicles]] into the story, and coming full-circle to another Eggman-centric story.

Heavily story- and character-based, with an emphasis on adventure, storytelling, and continuity, the pace is slow but of remarkably high quality. Original characters are welcome-- and are, in fact, more heavily featured than the canon cast.

!!''This roleplay contains examples of:''

* TheBigGuy: Several characters whose focus is on power-- Coop, Tank, [[PintsizedPowerhouse Murdoch]], [[DarkActionGirl Tracer]], and the canon examples of Knuckles and Big come to mind.

* BoisterousBruiser: Coop and Tank, though Coop's larger-than-life persona kind of unnerves others. Tank plays it straight.

* DeathDealer: [[MeaningfulName Ace]].

* {{Determinator}}: Rock, Rodolf, and possibly Ace. (It's just that Rock has had [[OnlyAFleshWound more]] [[RealMenGetShot opportunities]] [[NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow to prove it]].)

* EverythingsWorseWithBears: '''FLEX''' (A very minor very... ''special'' character)

* TheGambler: Ace
* GentlemanThief: Ace, subverted-- he acts superficially like a Robin Hood figure, but is... ... less so, in reality.

* LargeHam: Wild Badge and Tank, as an art form.

* MaskedLuchador: Tank's, er, gimmick

* {{Mangst}}: Ace, Chapter 3b through to 4.

* NoIndoorVoice: '''FLEX'''

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: A number of characters (Rock, Jam, Ace, Tank/Power Mask, Wild Badge, Mako, et al) are known primarily by their nicknames.

* ReformedCriminal: Ace

* RollingAttack: It ''is'' a Sonic RP. The only member of the non-official cast who really uses this is Geoff, though Tank has a belly-sliding SpinAttack variant.

** Type II: Geoff and Ace, who are grumpy and sarcastic but otherwise heroic

* TurtlePower: Tank the Giant Tortoise is, statistically, the most powerful original character in the story. To say nothing of the fortune inherited by his wrestling super-star father, his host of [[SpinningPiledriver high-flying luchador techniques]], or the [[CulturedBadass Master's Degree in Philosophy]] hung proudly on his wall.

* AboveTheRuins: The Chapter 2 epilogue thread.

* BreatherEpisode: The Hospital thread and the post-kablooey-AboveTheRuins thread which followed Chapters 1 and 2, respectively

* SunglassesatNight: Juke is never found without a pair of shades. And when he loses them? [[InfiniteSupplies He just pulls out more.]]

* CliffsOfInsanity: Chapter 1's Mist Island

* MassOhCrap: The [[GiantWallOfWateryDoom end of the chapter 2 finale]].

** To elaborate: A ''very'' boistrous and outgoing character, Suzy, was introduced in one thread. The most her player accomplished was having Mako assume that Suzy was trying to kill him. The player sort of fell out of activity after that, leaving it one of the more bizarre moments in continuity. [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain The only further mention it recieves]] is Mako developing a fear of large, purple individuals. [[hottip:*:[[BrickJoke Like Big]].]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Coop.

* Turtle Power: Tank the Giant Tortoise is, statistically, the most powerful original character in the story.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Some of the boxing rounds in Chapter 2 were... ''really, really'' bizarre, and were consequently never mentioned again.

* SmugSnake: Seven

* GrapplingHookPistol: Aga's main means of transportation ''and'' assault.

* SharkPool: Eggman's Sharpedo-filled underwater base in Chapter 2.
