** Mitch carries a [[CoolGun FN P90 personal defense weapon]] around. Partly as a SecurityBlanket, and partly as a self-defense tool. Mordecai also has a revolver, a sniper rifle, and a submachine gun, but they never use it unless necessary.

* HornyDevils: Subverted, for the most part. Heiress is a Succubus, but she's far from horny. At least, not in the present. On the other hand, it's hard to fight back urges, so seeing Hilarity as a very hot girl and then as a Red Oni (who is just as hot) makes her blush.

Ill Boy has been changed to Delicate And Sickly. Example was ZCE.


* IllBoy: Wren. And when we mean ill, we mean his medication is the only thing preventing him from suffering a horrible, horrible death.

* OtakuSurrogate: Sanae and Zinda are Mecha Otakus. Known for having a collection of anime and manga along with plenty of model kits. They usually favor the edgy Zaku [=IIs=] over dolls.
* PubertySuperpower: This is increasingly common now, specifically with Gill. Most of Cly's VideoGame/{{Touhou}} characters that weren't already powered also recieved this treatment, [[SubvertedTrope although it was due to outside circumstances.]]

* {{Metagam|e}}ing: Somehow Joe knows that Paper!Shadow and Shadow are the same person (which he only met both of them once each). Without asking. Oh, and he says he exactly knows they're the same person, not ''thinks'' they may be. The other problem is that he's already BreakingTheFourthWall with his knowledge of this.
** Shiningknight has done this quite a few times before.

-->''Who Knows What Could Happen Next?! ...Well, nearly anything, really.''
-->- The Current Unoffical Slogan for WAOA - High-School: Alternate Universe.

''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12989439490A51860100&page=1 We Are Our Avatars, High School AU]]'' (full title ''ITT: We Are Our Avatars - High School: Alternate Universe'') is a [[PlayByPostGame Play By Post Forum Game]] on the Administrivia/TVTropesForum and a spin-off of the original [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=i9k31ypluou9s5j9d2w7n23k&page=1 We Are Our Avatars]].

Originally made because of several players interest from the original WAOA, a second topic was created. At the moment, it's still relatively new with nearly 11,000 posts but is steadily growing in size. At the moment, there's been no real 'arcs' or any real plot to follow so players can usually leap right in, provided they [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12989462230A92424400&page=1#5 read the rules]] and at least [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12989443370A70055300&page=1 introduce themselves.]]

! '''This thread provides examples of...'''

* AccidentalPervert: Dave teleports using his handmade device, into Cirno's room as she's changing.([[OfficialCouple with Mitch there]]) This is not even the first time though, In fact the first time he uses the device he ends up in Umbra's dorm... while she is getting dressed. And Arcie... with Heiress there. Let's just say it's been a RunningGag and leave it at that.
%%* AlternateUniverse: Naturally. It's even said in the [[{{TitleDrop}} title of the topic!]]
* AmbiguousGender: Rowan Hunter, who's described using GenderNeutralWriting. Although the school generally categorizes Rowan as a female for the sake of convenience.
%%* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent
* AntiMagic: Magic Canceler is capable of taking away EVERYONE's magical abilities and powers should it raise its aura. Thankfully, this isn't all the time.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Mana, per the usual. Lillian is a much smaller version of this, albeit she's around Goro's height.
%%* AttentionWhore: Falken to the highest degree.
* AxesAtSchool:
** Mitch carries a [[CoolGun FN P90 personal defense weapon]] around. Partly as a SecurityBlanket, and partly as a self-defense tool. Mordecai also has a revolver, a sniper rifle, and a submachine gun, but they never use it unless necessary.
** Travis carries around his beamsword all the time.
** Shadow has his Gatling Gun, which is no longer loaded, but acts as his SecurityBlanket, [[CompensatingForSomething mostly because he lacks a big gun]].
* BuildingOfAdventure: Mostly everything happens in the School (both versions).
* ButtMonkey:
%%** Travis Touchdown. As usual.
** Crino is a living one. Created by @/GearLeader's [[SpellMyNameWithAnS inability to spell Cirno right.]]
%%* CuddleBug: A rather commonplace trait with many of the student populace.
%%* CharacterDevelopment: It seems to be small at the moment, but it's noticeable in some characters.
* ChildSoldiers: Zeke. He's only fourteen and known as the Colbat Blue Major.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Joe likes to sing about destroying organics, much to people's chagrin. He also once got lost in the desert thinking that he was going to the arcade. He professes to know nothing of organics, save that they're squishy.
* CoolCar: Mordecai drives a Runner to school, which carries a front-mounted machine gun and a machine gun turret.
%%* {{Crossover}}: A direct one with Roleplay/WeAreOurAdventuringAvatars.
* CyberCyclops: Sniper Joe has a single red eye. Due to this, he wonders why organics need two.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Gill took two girls' school uniforms and returned them afterwards, but never did anything more than that. Aya, on the other hand, didn't get this and chewed him out, sending him into a VillainousBSOD, which caused him to be stuck in his room for close to two weeks without food or water or anything else. Nobody agreed with Aya's reaction, nor has a Teacher been informed, because of the mentioned "punishment".
* DysfunctionJunction: There's probably very FEW students at this school who DON'T have problems, mental or otherwise.
* DeaderThanDead: Mayuri, [[BoltOfDivineRetribution by being erased from existence by God!Arcie]].
* EmotionlessBoy: Zeke. Done deliberately on his part as considers it will get in the way of his mission.
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[VideoGame/{{Portal2}} Wheatley]] makes a little gag appearance, still at the school, when there's few people there.
* ExtranormalInstitute: With elements of AcademyOfAdventure, [[AllGhoulsSchool Generally Non-human/Half-human school]], HeroAcademy, and WizardingSchool.
%%* {{Fanservice}}: Weakly indulged in. At least outside of [[MrFanservice V]]o[[VideoGame/SoulSeries l]][[FanDisservice d]][[CasualKink o]], anyway.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Shares some characters with RolePlay/WeAreOurAdventuringAvatars, albeit in younger forms, so allusions to events to come in this game tend to pop up.
* FriendlessBackground: Until he came to the high school, Wren was basically stuck in the house and hospital and without a single friend. Thankfully, he's quite happy to have a lot of friends.
* GeniusLoci: The school is sentient, and comments on the events inside on more than one occasion. Only Sapph can hear it, though.
* HiddenDepths:
** Red's actually not a bad cook, having had to cook for himself while traveling.
** Apart from being really intelligent, interested in computers and...a bit too emotional, Wren enjoys singing and cooking.
* HornyDevils: Subverted, for the most part. Heiress is a Succubus, but she's far from horny. At least, not in the present. On the other hand, it's hard to fight back urges, so seeing Hilarity as a very hot girl and then as a Red Oni (who is just as hot) makes her blush.
* IllBoy: Wren. And when we mean ill, we mean his medication is the only thing preventing him from suffering a horrible, horrible death.
* {{Irony}}: Magic Canceller cannot cast magic naturally. It teaches magic class. It also cancels out magic, meaning spells cannot be cast around it.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite Zel's rough exterior, he does care a lot about his friends.
%%* KilledOffForReal: Mayuri, Hand, Foot, But(t), Various Zombies(perhaps), Random Cheerleader, Nikola.
* KillerRobot: As a combat robot, Sniper Joe can slip into this when he feels threatened. Privately, he enjoys violence, but mainly keeps this to himself and tries to suppress it.
* MiddleOfNowhereStreet: Blatant in both versions of the roleplays. Notably, the second version even goes so far as having the unnamed School actually in a random dimensional world with landscapes. How many of them are named? None.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Suzie Equestrius has six arms uses six swords and bone-chilling magic in combat.
* NaiveNewcomer: Sniper Joe has very little idea how the school works.
* NoSenseOfDirection: The school's nature wreaks havoc on Joe's sensors. He often gets lost as a result.
%%* OfficialCouple: Cirno x Mitch, Joshua x Sugar, Dave x Arcie, Heiress x Hilarity(special note is that they really don't act like one), Maggie x Keyla x Aika, Asagi x Zelgadis, Imca x Luca, Wren x "Raven", Umbra x Sapph, Selve x Lillian, Shadow x Shizuha, Mara x Chifusa, Alex x Shaun...and it just keeps on growing. Michelle x Gill is heading that way, but aren't actually girlfriend/boyfriend as of yet.
* OtakuSurrogate: Sanae and Zinda are Mecha Otakus. Known for having a collection of anime and manga along with plenty of model kits. They usually favor the edgy Zaku [=IIs=] over dolls.
* PubertySuperpower: This is increasingly common now, specifically with Gill. Most of Cly's VideoGame/{{Touhou}} characters that weren't already powered also recieved this treatment, [[SubvertedTrope although it was due to outside circumstances.]]
* ReedRichardsIsUseless: David Shine makes useless things half the time instead of going to classes. Usually.
* RunningGag:
** The most infamous one is people bumping into each other.
** Between Mitch and Cirno is when CoitusEnsues. Kept offscreen for obvious reasons.
** Much like the first one, Shadow is now starting to hit the walls. Including getting ''embedded'' in them.
*** Which leads to Sapph getting a headache whenever the school is damaged.
** Travis' failure to hit on anyone without getting a rude reaction. This may be related to his ButtMonkey status, however.
** Cirno getting knocked out.
** Heiress getting flustered at the slightest embarassment or perverted thing.
** For a short time, Dave's teleport machine kept getting the wrong rooms, often getting him a slap to the face or another punishment.
** Lillian giving people [[MarshmallowHell marshmallow hells]]. Now that she has a boyfriend who's one head shorter than her, it's only going to get worse.
%%* ScaryBlackMan: Walter Fredrick gets mistaken for one.
%%* ShipTease: Holy crap... it just goes on and on and on... A more notorious example is Sapph x School. Yes, the architecture itself.
* ShopKeeper: Mordecai runs a store in the desert section of the school called Mordecai's Outriggers.
%%* SpotlightStealingSquad: The students over the Teachers. Somewhat justified as they're the main focus of this game. Some more notorious examples are Imca, Shadow, Gill, Wren, Michelle, Mitch, Lillian, Garcie, and Sapph.
%%* TokenEvilTeammate: Kurotsuchi Mayuri, before [[BoltOfDivineRetribution being wiped from existence]].
* TookALevelInBadass: While not much, when Cirno came back, she was quite a bit more powerful, and is no longer a OneHitPointWonder.
%%* {{Tsundere}}: Keyla, hoo boy.
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Discussed: part of the reason Rowan has no interest in explaining their gender when prompted.
* WillfullyWeak:
** Goro knows that he's stronger than most, and only pulls out the stops when he absolutely has to. Mostly against Scorpion and a Hollow.
** Arcueid holds about 70% of her power back, directing most of it to suppressing her bloodlust.
