* Cold-BloodedTorture: Violet is, so far, not having a pleasant time in the Underverse. Neither are Gilgamesh and Ganondorf, for that matter.

Added DiffLines:

* ActionGirl: There are more than a few of these in the Omniverse, but the premier example would have to the Bandit With No Name.


Added DiffLines:

* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: This happened big time when LAW launched a surprise attack on New Babylon's capital of Nippur. It didn't help that the town's resident Primes had just finished a fight.


Added DiffLines:

* BadassDriver: Doesn't happen a whole lot since it takes time to summon mounts, but people like Drake Oneir and Judge Dredd can pull off some truly ridiculous stunts.


Added DiffLines:

* BottledHeroicResolve: Certain items can be purchased to achieve this effect in a fight that isn't going as planned. The mack daddy of them all is the Senzu Bean.
* BreakTheBadass: This happened quite a bit in Dante's Abyss, but another notable example would be Ganondorf's banishment.


Added DiffLines:

* CapturedByCannibals: Though it wasn't explicitly stated, this is heavily implied to be the cause of Cat's first death.

People keep spelling cannon fodder \'canon fodder.\' That is a different thing entirely, so I must politely ask you to stop.

* SuperSpeed: One of the available powers for purchase. The Flash obviously embodies this.




to:

* YourSoulIsMine: Shang Tsung's gimmick, but also a thing any Prime can do; as everything is sustained via Omnilium, one could actually drain away OM from a defeated foe as an extra-torturous death. [[spoiler:In terms of gameplay, it doesn't make a difference. One could just as easily kill a foe outright and gain the same amount of OM, and no OM penalties are actually recorded anyways.]]

Added DiffLines:

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: A fairly important point in the mechanics - moves are not typically restricted by form, nor are there any sorts of elemental weakness chains. However, some may choose to restrict the use of certain moves to certain forms (or otherwise find a way to manually restrict those moves anyway) for the sake of RP fodder.

* ChargedAttack: With how Omniphysics (read: gameplay balancing) works, moves get stronger as long as they have appropriate drawback to them. This is a popular way of going about it.
* CompetetiveBalance: Applied to everyone in the Omniverse. Unless, of course, you get a lot more Om.
* CurbStompBattle: Being common Mooks, the Stormtroopers may often find themselves on the receiving end of this.



** And a minor mention to Ragna the Bloodedge, who somehow survived an encounter with multiple Stormtrooper squads, a couple of UGs, and a fall through several stories into a trash pit.



* ScienceFantasy: The Omniverse has knights and wizards facing off against stormtroopers, it is this in droves.

to:

* AbortedArc: Though rare, a story in progress will sometimes grind to a halt if the storyteller or one of its participants stops posting. The most notable example would be the Darkseid arc.
* AffablyEvil: Most of the site's major villains make a concerted effort to be pleasant and considerate to those around them, both out of a sense of dignity and a need to avoid suspicion...though when it comes to just how affable they are, YMMV.
* AGodAmI: A few primes are convinced that they will one day be able to dethrone Omni as master of the Omniverse and take his place. Notable among these are Nealaphh and Ganondorf.
* AnotherDimension: The Omniverse is made up of several component 'verses', each with its own environmental theme. In addition, the Omniverse itself is stated as being a separate reality from other universes.
* AnyoneCanDie: And how! Though Primes do technicallt have the ability to come back from the dead, the ever present threat of murder-kill hangs over all Omniverse denizens, no matter how safe they think they are.
* BigBad: There are several powerful Primes seen as universal enemies throughout the Omniverse, primarily Diablo and Emperor Palpatine. Some people also identify Omni as this.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: A lot of factions and characters do not concern themselves with 'normal' perceptions of good and evil.
* DeathIsNotPermanent: For Primes, at least. When killed, they will resurrect at The Fountain of Infinity within a few days. For Secondaries, however, death very much IS permanent.
* Determinator: Special props to Strazio Rockwell for surviving nearly all of Dante's Abyss with a multitude of grievous injuries.
* EldritchAbomination: A few Primes are these in disguise, but they can also be found existing naturally within the darker corners of the Omniverse.
* EvilEmpire: The original.
* Expy: Naturally.
* MegaCorp: The mysterious Syntech, run by the even more mysterious Karl Jak.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Diablo. Also, shout out to Gilgamesh and Retane.

This is not to say that their power is limited: they simply must earn the right to use it.

While the game's story is open ended, there is an overarching story involving The Omniverse's resident deity, Omni, and how characters cope with being involuntarily pulled into his personal universe. There are several existing NPC factions vying for superiority of the Omniverse, as well as a multitude of rogue elements each trying to gain power. Player characters called into the Omniverse by Omni are called Primes, and they are granted incredible powers of immortality and creation (within reason). The Omniverse contains Primes who are both original characters as well as characters derived or taken from existing media of all kinds.

The Omniverse has been in operation for almost two years now. Through the diligent work of its Admin, staff and dedicated player base, there have been many defining stories that have shaken the entire site, and many more being planned.
