* AddictionPowered: A mercenary group called Swords of Enlightenment smoke a FantasticDrug called Soln to power themselves up to ridiculous degrees (they pretty much become mass of muscles).



* BadassGay: Also quite common. No one in the world makes a big deal out of this, since there are other problems to deal with, both for peasants and nobles.



* BloodKnight: It's pretty much agreed by everyone that this is one of the core problems of this world, aliens or not.

* MagicAIsMagicA

to:

* MagicAIsMagicAMagicAIsMagicA: Humanity's magic works like this. Both Manifestation and Nature magic school have set rules and restrictions. However, they differ in what kind of rule they have:
** Nature magic is more of a typical "magic as science" type. There are fundamental universal laws on how to cast a spell. Those who are in Nature school try to understand fundamental nature of the universe in order to perform their magic. They work handily with science in general, so Nature magic has some technological elements to them. As an example, dynasty of Han always used Nature magic (with a few notable exceptions). In fact, there has been many debates whether this is ClarkesThirdLaw or not in-universe, generating debates that always involved someone's mother. [[SarcasmMode How mature.]]
** Manifestation is different, in that the person themselves dictate the rules and regulations. Manifestation school sees a person as its own universe. Only through self-introspection and self-discovery can they truly unlock their potential. Religion also affects Manifestation types of magic to a degree. Manifestation is infamous for its [[{{Koan}} nonsense quotes]] that sometimes don't make in context, but make sense out of context. And it gives many, ''many'' types of ridiculous magic.
* MagicIsMental: Fools definitely can't use magic in this universe, as one requires to be either wise or intelligent (or both) to properly utilize magic of this world. However, sometimes, ''rarely'', Manifestation magic can form for the fools for reasons unknown.



* MedievalEuropeanFantasy: Very much averted. While there are governments with typical fantasy aesthetics, most are not.



* MasterOfOneMagic: This prince has Space Deletion magic (fancy word for teleporting).Otherwise... he is nothing.

''Culture'' is a comedy fantasy series that I may or not may not be able to write in my lifetime. It won't take long, but considering that abundance of projects I have in mind... I highly doubt writing this one. So, here are the tropes that will be present in this work. For more information about fantasy races, visit ''Race'' folder below.

''Culture'' is a comedy fantasy series that I may or not may not be able to write in my lifetime. It won't take long, but considering that abundance of projects I have in mind... I highly doubt about writing this one. So, here are the tropes that will be present in this work.work (or more accurately, bunch of ideas that are loosely connected to each other). For more information about fantasy races, visit ''Race'' folder below.



* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Most cultures (even human ones) have moralities that we might consider... morbid.




to:

* SharedUniverse: All of my works are set in the same multiverse, including this one (and they are quite connected, though not in the conventional way).



* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Seabrethren, before and now, can become a leader through showing physical prowess. It's precisely this mentality that quickened the destruction of Langar-Ulast, as well as hinder the reconstruction of their sea empire. Because they value physical strength over administrative competence and intellect, Seabrethren constantly fail to achieve any meaningful victory.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: You can often figure out who the strong guy is by looking at their uren (sea creature that is essentially moving coral) tiaras. The fancier it is (i.e. higher rank), stronger they are.
* {{Beastmaster}}: The ones they call "Sea Speakers" can control marine lifeform. Of course, they're near useless at the surface.



* AntiHero/AntiVillain: However, I can appreciate standard heroes and villains.

to:

Daughter of an esteemed leader of Dark Moonkin tribe, Larina first got to know Shi-Yun by trying to cut him with the chainsaw and see his intestines. After the prince (barely) persuaded him to spare his life, Larina expresses her wish to go on an adventure. The Prince agrees and they form a party of their own to embark on a journey.

* AntiHero: Of [[NominalHero Nominal]] variety. Larina is not driven by altruism or wish for justice, instead being motivated by her curiosity. That said, she does become better.
* BecomingTheMask: See HiddenDepths.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: She is eccentric even by the standards of her own people, but this Moonkin gets her job done... Usually.
* CloudCuckooLander: She stands out among a group of crazy loons.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Even Larina believes that Adranan are nothing more than delusional fanatics.
* HiddenDepths: Her MadScientist antics? They're all part of the mask that she adopted during her life in Dark Moonkin society.
* MadScientist: Her curiosity is endless, as she tries to experiment with anything, including people who are alive.
* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: Inverted. Her father is a normal one.

!Lists of my original works (decided not to write fanfics):
* '''Deviance Complex''': {{Capepunk}}/PsychologicalHorror story about the conflict between humans and superhumans that call themselves ''miracles'' (while humans call them ''deviants''). I'm planning... 10 books and each of them have different tones and style. To sum up, it's {{ComicBook/X-Men}} + {{Anime/Neon Genesis Evangelion}}, with genes of {{VidoeGame/Batman Arkham Series}}, {{VidoeGame/Infamous}}, {{ComicBook/Watchmen}}.
** '''Humanity Complex''': An AlternateUniverse SpinOff of ''Deviance Complex'', it is set in a universe where humanity became extinct by magicians, who formed a new world. However, everything will change with the appearance of the machines [[spoiler: who call themselves Homo Mechanicus.]] In XMeetsY language, it's {{Literature/Harry Potter}} meets a love-baby of {{VideoGame/NieR}} and {{VideoGame/NieR Automata}} (yes, both of them) with inverse {{Theatre/Romeo And Juliet}} as decoration (emphasis on ''inverse'').
* '''Corrupt Festival''': UrbanFantasy/PsychologicalHorror (again, I know) series about eponymous Corrupt Festival, an event set in a {{Dream Land}} that various forces try to use to achieve their goals. It's essentially {{TabletopGame/World Of Darkness}} + {{VideoGame/Bloodborne}} + {{VideoGame/American McGees Alice}} + {{VideoGame/The Evil Within}}. I'm not holding back on horror here.
* '''Peace Through Blood''': {{Biopunk}} story set in an AlternateUniverse/ConstructedWorld where the USA (or counterpart of it) has turned into a fascist state, and pretty much every country has turned xenophobic. {{Dystopia}} at its finest. {{VideoGame/Spec Ops The Line}} mix {{VideoGame/Metal Gear}} mix {{VideoGame/Bioshock}} mix {{ComicBook/V For Vendetta}} mix {{VidoeGame/Deus Ex}} and {{Franchise/Resident Evil}} [[{{Narm}} without ridiculous elements]].
** '''god's order''': SpinOff of the above series, it's about players of ''Survival of the Fittest'' ([[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame MMO]][[FirstPersonShooter FPS]] about killing aliens), who are trapped in it by a person naming himself [[AGodIAm Deus]]. If this reminds you of {{LightNovel/Sword Art Online}}, then... you're not exactly wrong. However, SAO influence is only a topping. In reality, it's more [[spoiler: {{VideoGame/NieR}} meets {{VideoGame/Spec Ops The Line}}.]]
* '''Paradox as a Weapon''': TimeTravel/HistoricalFiction story where time travelling technology has been widespread. Humans abused its power for various reasons, eventually breaking the timeline. Wardens of Reality were formed to fix the hole in timelines and eliminate Enemies of Humanity, aforementioned time travelers who break the timeline for their own reasons.
* '''Culture''': LowFantasy comedy story about the prince and his [[CastFullOfCrazy crazy companions]] going on an adventure. {{Anime/Gintama}} meets a love child of {{Franchise/Dragon Age}}, {{Franchise/Elder Scrolls}} and {{Franchise/Warcraft}}, and formed this work.



* 20BearAsses: The party had to undertake skinning 20 crockons (bears with scales) as their first job for a lord. Lampshaded:

* ActionGirl: Quite a lot.



* ArcVillain: [[KnightTemplar Order of Order]] for ''Hunt for Potential heroes'' arc, [[MadScientist Adranan]] for ''New World of Logic'' arc, [[FairFolk Magdnas]] for ''Death of Federation'' arc... The list goes on. Main antagonists of the final arc is the government of Calmarren, TheKingdom main protagonist is from.
* BittersweetEnding: Protagonist accomplishing his goal, but losing so many things in the end that it might not have been worth it.

* EqualOpportunityEvil: Most terrorist (human or miracle) organizations take in people of of various backgrounds.

* EndOfAnAge: Fall of Langar-Ulast is this for all Seabrethren. And they are not forming any type of unified government any time soon, since most of them are pirates, while those who are not have become a diaspora of other countries.[[note: Republic of Seabrethren is technically a goverment, but it is a highly dysfunctional one. In fact, it's closer to anarchistic wasteland (wastesea?) than a democratic republic]]

* AmbiguousDisorder: Not me. I use this trope frequently with my characters [[note: Although I do research on various mental illnesses, there are times when I need to take some liberties with it, so I don't really want to specify what exact mental illness my characters have]]

[[folder: Tropes that are connected to me]]
* {{Adorkable}}: Got this reaction from other people.
* AntiNihilist: Probably closest way to describe my philosophy. I still try to do no harm, despite knowing that it might be pointless.
* AsianAndNerdy: No need for explanation.
* TheCynic: I generally believe that humanity is capable of countless atrocities. And I think that humanity will kill itself eventually. Also, my thoughts... are disturbing, to say the least.
* DoubleStandard: Hate it and try to avoid it. Especially regarding rape.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: What people tell me I am. Though I would like the 'heroic' part to be taken out.
* LiteralMinded: It died out a bit, but there are still traces of it.
* NoSocialSkills: Definitely.
* WorryingForTheWrongReason: I worry too much about unnecessary things. Mostly about mistakes I might make.
* YuriFan: I'll admit. I like Yuri. I am even considering making my dark fantasy series Yuri, but I'm not so sure.

[[folder: Trivias]]
* Currently planning five series of novels to be written. One is superhero, another one is dark urban fantasy and there is cyberpunk/biopunk one. There is one thing common thing in these series: nightmarish situations and not-so sane characters. Not so disturbingly dark series are Historical Fiction one and Heroic Fantasy one.
* Some of my characters from my superhero series are being used in one of RPs I participate (with some changes and adjustments, of course).
* Definitely not from US, nor from Europe.
* Great interests of mine are history, psychology and sociology.
* Not old.
* There was a time when I created OCs... which I'm embarrassed of.
* Not a native English speaker. South Korean.

* AntiHero/AntiVillain: However, I can appreciate standard heroes and villains.

* BecomingTheMask: Both good and bad situations.
* DysfunctionJunction: Favorite trope.
** CastFullOfCrazy: ...Especially if it reaches this level.
* HurtingHero: Best kinds.

* NightmareFuel: Love creating these in my books.

!Tropes that I dislike:

Except for {{Bad Writing Index}} tropes, I don't really have tropes that I hate with passion. There are, however, that will entice this reaction from me: "Ugh... Really?"

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: This is the one that I detest the most.
* KarmaHoudini: ...Need I explain more?
* MedievalEuropeanFantasy: I don't particularly mind it (and some fantasy works that I like are this), but there are just too many of this.
* PowerOfFriendship/PowerOfLove: Probably because I don't believe in it.
* PowerWalk: I...don't really like it. There are exceptions to this, though.
