History Roleplay / TheAquilaAndTheRisingSun

On July 18[[superscript:th]] of 2010, one Troper asked another his opinion on a simple yet unexpected question: "What would happen if the [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Imperium]] launched a full-scale invasion of the VideoGame/{{Touhou}} world?" After some bafflement at the left-field nature of this querry, the second Troper admitted that, while he would lean in favor of the Imperials, had no idea as to the ultimate outcome. Taking this as encouragement, the first then created a thread in Forum Games to depict this subject, and thus was Roleplay/TheImperiumOfManComesToGensokyo born.

* WalkingArmory: Leona, being the personification of a tank with four guns, carries around a missile launcher, an autocannon and a boltgun. In theory, she can carry any combination of up to three [[MoreDakka autocannons/heavy bolters]] / [[FrickinLaserBeams lascannons]] and a [[MacrossMissileMassacre missile launcher]].

* JourneyToTheCentreOfTheMind and BattleInTheCentreOfTheMind: There was one for the Murder Mystery arc, for [[spoiler: Sakuya. This was performed in order to get rid of a crazed youkai that had nestled in her mind and plagued/controlled her.]]

* {{Expy}}: Trogg is an Expy of an [[TheDitz Intelligence<4]] character from a VideoGame/{{Fallout 2}} LetsPlay, and The Cult of The Striking Cobra is an expy of [[GIJoe Cobra]], complete with Cobra Commander analogy.

While the game was a chaotic and maddened mess at first, due in no small part to the clashing egos of two wildly-divergent fanbases and their stubborn insistances that one side could beat the other with no difficulty, after a short while the introduction of new factions to the mix straightened things out, and a coherent plot began to form. While there were ocassional hiccups caused by players who simply did not get the shift in tone from the godmodding, almost parodic mess it had started out as and the story-driven, character-focused tale it later became, the game prospered and flourished; battles were fought, lives were lost, redemption was had, tears were shed and hearts were warmed. Yet like all good things, it would not last forever; after six months and more than eleven thousand posts, TheImperiumOfManComesToGensokyo came to an end on December 7[[superscript:th]].

* XMeetsY: ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'' meets ''DarkHeresy''.

* ArcFatigue: The incident that's going on while Arcturus and crew deal with the Priestess.

* BadassAbnormal: Most of the team's membership. This also generally goes for the surviving Touhou characters.

** Though there are plans in the works for some aversions of Moe to come into existence.

* NoPlaceForMeThere: The Priestess is trying to stop the decline of Gensokyoan magic, which is caused by her presence. Her plan is to seal Gensokyo away from the materium tostop any similar being coming into existence, then to kill herself.

** Which is composed of a psychic Inquisitor, his vampiric Living Saint wife, a (different) vampire inquisitor and her NinjaMaid, a stormtrooper, two rabbit girls, the living embodiment of a tank, a newbie pilot with severe self-confidence issues, a techpriest and a particularly dimwitted Ogryn.
* ScaledUp: Subverted; King Cobra, despite his obvious snake motif and the fact he rises into the air amongst a cloud of darkness and hissing snakes, does ''not'' turn into a snake.
* SourSupporter: The navigator of the ''Lysander'', Alduous Quintarvus, is very grumpy and cynical in everything he does. Although given that his job involves looking into the [[HyperspaceIsAScaryPlace Warp]] every day, it's hard to blame him.
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: A partial example during the Battle of the Imperial Basilica. Zolomon and the Bishop talk Rina, a dim-witted and lovestruck youkai terrorist, into limiting the battle to a one-on-one duel by attacking her philosophy and goals.
