%%''Red vs Blue: Divergent'' is a story focusing on key canon characters, with Genre Savvy characters sprinkled in for good measure. One self-insert character, with a pension for going berserk on tanks, shows up in Blood Gulch during season 3, when the rest of the team have already disappeared, and meets up with the rest of the Reds and joins their team with little to no problems. Another self-insert character becomes the main antagonist of Season 9-10 in the flashbacks, causing quiet a stir that causes Connie and the others to survive - though none of them are very grateful to him about it.
%%
%%''The Long Ranger'' is a Justice League/Young Justice crossover which uses the story of all the Animated Cartoons, including Teen Titans and Green Lanterns, to recreate the story of Young Justice. This is an actually attempt to fix some of the truly terrible plot lines in the show, focusing instead more on drama rather than adventure (which is what the show failed to do because of its startlingly rapid pace). It never made sense for me that villains would work swimmingly together, as the Light obviously does, when the head honchos have different ideas of how the end result should effect the world. In all truth, I think the Light was really just Vandal Savage played spectacularly poorly, considering that his goals were never established (probably because they were trying to avoid the whole "evil monologue") and that his prior incarnations and the prior incarnations of the other Light heads had very different Agenda's and goals that never feasibly could mesh well. I use my [=OC=] here as a tool to investigate and explore the problem on a deeper level, both involving how all the cartoons play into it and how drastically different the result of the changes are from the original show, as well as what remained the same (and very few stuff does remain the same).

Everything below here is me getting to know Tropes and linking them to characters/races that I've already created or am in the process of creating so that I can understand the Tropes better. It's a permanent work in progress, so please ignore anything that looks off or funny, or simply ignore everything.

Currently, [=T0RN=]: Genesis is going to have a rewritten version, and the original version will remain on Ao3. It's a work in progress but I think the end result will be much better than what I had before, especially story wise.

[[folder:''Transformers: The TORN Trilogy'']]
''The [=T0RN=] Trilogy'' is a story of a self-insert character who exists in an alternate reality where, even though the Fandom exists and the Canon Storylines exist, Transformers already exists. She's a ''huge'' fan of the show, but that knowledge doesn't mean anything because the universe she exists in is a conglomeration of every Transformer Continuity out there (with the Transformer Continuities strangely different from how she remembers them), with some new elements thrown in and other elements taken out. There are also many other fangirls and fanboys out there that are as GenreSavvy as she is, with the same problems. In any case, little of that knowledge matters and that is what she quickly comes to learn while being transformed into the perfect soldier to fight a threat only she is even aware of.

[[CassandraTruth No one believes her about any of this, however,]] [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow or at least that's the reason she gives for not telling anyone about it]] [[AccentuateTheNegative believing that it wouldn't be worth her time to try to convince them]] [[KeeperOfForbiddenKnowledge much to everyone else's chagrin]].

This is a DarkerAndEdgier DeconReconSwitch fanfiction centered around a misplaced (hopefully) [[MarySue non-Mary-Sue]] fan who finds herself in an Alternate Universe where anything can happen.[[note]]At least a non-PseudocanonicalFic if not an [=AU=][[/note]] The main character is meant to be female BadAss and less of a DamselInDistress as most fan in fanverse themed stories like to go. This is not a WishFulfillment Fic, as it is intended to be more of a [[NightmareFuel warning]] to the audience about the hazards of universe jumping and ending up in the wrong universe, [[SlidingScaleOfRealisticVersusFantastic keeping things more realistic and suspenseful instead of fantastical]].[[note]][[WordOfGod There's an infinite number of universes out there, with a very slim chance that you'll land in one that is a lot like the Transformer movies or cartoon. Half of them belong in the Shattered Glass universe, which means you have a 50/50 shot of ending up in a world where Optimus Prime is a psychopath.]][[/note]]

Kind of a result of CreatorBreakdown since the story was started back when I was still infatuated with the idea of a very bad Self-Insert story before transforming due to my own disillusionment.

* SlidingScaleOfRealisticVersusFantastic: Keeping to the more Unsual side of things.

[[folder:Vehicons]]
Imagine for a moment a zombie. The nice kind of zombie that doesn't really eat your brains and acts more like a mindless pawn in a hive. Sorta like a Bee Hive, except the queen is a super advanced artificial intelligence with next to no emotions. Also, this not-a-zombie happens to have hundreds of clones with the same color scheme, all of whom are giant robotic creatures from space. These are Vehicons, and those A.I.s are their Hivemasters.

Vehicons have a strict moral code that doesn't necessarily extend to their Hivemaster which prevents them from converting you against your will. They are particularly eager to meet you, because for one you are in fact their other half - their Spark. They fully intend to turn you into their Spark, their Soul, but they need your full willingness to do so. Their programming won't allow otherwise. And if you just so happen to be a kid that doesn't exactly know what you're agreeing to[[note]]or a physically disabled man[[/note]], then... uh, well... uh....

They're trying?

* AIIsACrapshoot: The Mentor[[spoiler:/Hivemaster is a prime example of this]].
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Literally, though really it's them eating your whole body and then turn it into their new soul. Congratulations, you're a Pretender.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Pretenders]]
The Pretenders are a race of Cybertronians that were once mindless and sparkless before acquiring a human symbiote[[note]]though one could argue that they weren't actually symbiotes since they became sparks[[/note]]. Many of the legends surrounding them have painted them as Sparkeaters, which is basically giant robotic alien word for [[ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight "The Boogieman"]], and caused their own legacy and history to be majorly forgotten, especially after the Quintessons attacked Cybertron and destroyed most of the original records of their history. After Nova Prime rewrote history to better suit the new government, he recasted The Pretenders as Sparkeaters, even though that was only half of what they are.

Pretenders are designed to give humans the ultimate upgrade, which shares many similarities with an EmergencyTransformation. Due to divine providence, the humans[[note]]and any other intelligent species of organic creature that just happened to have energy signatures similar to that of a Cybertronian spark[[/note]] are sought out by their perfect robotic halves in order for them to combine and become fully Cybertronian. In addition to becoming basically LongLived in a TimeAbyss, they become much more powerful both physically and mentally. Not everyone can [[UnwillingRoboticisation easily accept their new lives]] and, because of this, those "chosen" are carefully selected from individuals whose minds can easily adapt to the situation - i.e. those who wish for this kind of life, such as Transfans or the physically disabled, or children who won't be missed.

Before becoming Pretenders, their harmless, mindless and sparkless drone forms were known as Vehicons.

A literal CyberneticsEatYourSoul, through UnwillingRoboticisation, though for some who chose this life it can be a case of BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor or WishFulfillment. Also, not to be confused with an actual Sparkeater, or the Insecticons, though they are a subspecies[[note]]I'm not talking about the canon Insecticons or Sparkeaters[[/note]] of Vehicons.

Not to be confused with the Pretenders of TransformersSuperGodMasterforce.

* OurSoulsAreDifferent: Depending on perspective, it could be one of these.
* EnergyAbsorption: Terrans adapted to the planet's energy rich atmosphere and lack of raw energon by learning to do this.
* GeneticMemory: [[spoiler:Memory of their human lives is this, considering that it is never transferred over from their human bodies and is stored within the spark]].
* PhotographicMemory: All Pretenders have this, both of their Cybertronians life and [[spoiler:their human lives. Now, do I need to remind you that these guys all died in order to become a Pretender?]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Sparkeater]]
Imagine a Vehicon that has no Hivemaster and only lives according to the few remaining programs inside of its mind. Such a Vehicon would, if uninterrupted, naturally become a Pretender. But someone decided that this mindless drone could be used for some other, nefarious purpose, and so its programming was altered. Except, the part of it that seeks out humans remained inbedded in its new coding, and at the first chance it got, it tried to become a Pretender. But, without all its essential programming, it became [[ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight something else]].

%%This is the birth of the Sparkeater, a mindless but no longer entirely souless creature who is the epitome of [[TheUndead the walking dead]]. The human inside is dead, mentally and physically, but their soul has yet to move on to the afterlife. Their programming is the only thing that drives them forward, and sometimes this can lead to some scarily loyal army or a cluster of mindless, unnloyal Sparkeaters. If the later, then they will be forever stuck on a loop due to the failure to acquire the first soul, but this will continue on an infinite loop. They will seek out new sparks to consume, they will consume the humans, but they will never achieve their Pretender status.

A mindless and sparkless subspecies of Vehicon, one that isn't harmless. At all.

* ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: Supposedly in Cybertronian legend.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Insecticons]]
The Insecticons, or at least the Insecticons that are a subspecies of Vehicon, are native only to Earth, though their name originated from Arachnid, the first Insecticon that was created by Shockwave. They are mostly mindless drones, with a few smart ones that are the children of Arachnid through [[spoiler:erasing the minds of Pretenders and reprogramming them to be loyal only to her]]. Due to Arachnid's experimentations, they are much more powerful and battle smart than the average Cybertronian, and their strong armor is almost enough to protect them from a Pretender's superior firepower.

* AIIsACrapshoot: Because of the lack of a hivemind, each Insecticon drone has its own AI that helps them to scavenge for parts, [[spoiler:often from living Cybertronians]].

[[folder:The Killjoy]]
The self-appointed Guardian of Earth and last Omnibot[[note]]not your tfwiki version of Omnibot[[/note]] of Earth, Killjoy believes herself to be TheOnlyOne who can protect of her people, mostly because everyone else is wholy incompitent or dead. She wakes up from a coma after a car accident as a [[LightningBruiser unstoppable juggernaut]] wanting to save the world from an unknown enemy known as [[spoiler:The Hivemaster]].

Killjoy has a long-standing relationship with her twin sister, but has always struggled to remain independent of her. Though her actions may be leaning towards psychopathy or becoming the resident [[TheSociopath sociopath]], her stalwart belief in justice and hatred of all things her sister [[WhatWouldXDo ''might'' dislike]] makes her seem more like a WellIntentionedExtremist.

* ActionHeroine: She is the main protagonist of the first book and one of three in the second book.
* BerserkButton: Possibly a [[TheBerserker berserker]]. One of the first things she does after her transformation is slaughtering some random stranger in the woods. Sure, [[spoiler:it turns out to be a simulation]] but she doesn't know that, though [[spoiler:she had reacted because he was the simulated personification of her murderer]]. Any mention of her sister or best friends also causes this.
* BrokenBird
* CameBackWrong: The process used to transform her into a Cybertronian [[spoiler:caused part of her mind to meld with someone who had previously existed in the same body, and the whole thing was done to bring that ''someone else'' back]].
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: The [[spoiler:Mentor's]] main focus during the [[spoiler:simulation]] had been to turn Killjoy into this. However, this failed due to the fact that [[spoiler:she was already conditioned for horror after being forced to live with the fact that her sister had watched her die]].
* DoNotGoGentle: [[spoiler:Exactly how she plans to go out against The Mentor.]]
%%* {{Doppelganger}}: Since she CameBackWrong, [[spoiler:with Killjoy being a human consciousness put in a dead Cybertronian's body, it's only natural that the two would get confused, even though the dead Cybertronian is [[DeadAllAlong dead]]]].
* FightingYourFriend: [[spoiler:Atlas Prime,]] though this is [[JustifiedTrope justified]].
* FollowInMyFootsteps: Played with. Her co-Creator, [[spoiler:Atlas Prime,]] wants her to follow in Rhythm's footsteps, [[spoiler:mostly because he thought she ''was'' Rhythm, except [[ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated she]] [[{{Main/Doppelganger}} really]] [[CameBackWrong wasn't]].]]
* FromNobodyToNightmare: see Omnibot entry for more info. Beware: Spoilers.
* GenreSavvy: Zigzagged. In the beginning, she knows and understands that she's in a fanfic, but at the same time the rules of normal SI fanfics don't apply to her situation as she's dealing with [='OC's'=], and one background character, instead of canon characters. %%[[Spoiler:She later runs into the real Transformers from the canon universe, but discovers that the cartoon she grew up with is not how she remembers it. Memories of the fandom, cartoon, and character names have all been edited, and the real cartoon is based off the story of Nemesis Prime and Sentinal Prime, which happened before the times of her memories as Rhythm.]]
* {{Good Is Not Soft}}/{{Good Is Not Nice}}: Personified. Though this may just be because of her SugarAndIcePersonality.
* HarbingerOfImpendingDoom: Killjoy considers herself this [[spoiler:against anyone who would willfully hurt her homeworld]].
* IronWoobie: {{Determinator}}.
* ItsPersonal: Against Atlas, against the Hivemaster, and pretty much anyone else that presents itself as a large threat to Earth's security. [[spoiler:Oddly enough, she doesn't hold a grudge against her own murderer, but this could be because she's sorry for accidentally killing him in the simulation.]]

%%* NomDeGuerre: Her real name is [[spoiler:Mercy Ferris]], but she insists on being called Killjoy, though others want to call her Rhythm instead.

They are an ancient warrior gestalt team that are [[KeeperOfForbiddenKnowledge Keepers of the Forbidden Knowledge]], Kings or Queens of the Entire Planet, and [[TheOnlyOne well-respected warriors]] that are [[BackFromTheDead constantly resurrected to face threats]] [[CursedWithAwesome that the rest of the world doesn't know how to handle]] [[LazyBum or just isn't willing to deal with]]. The only living Omnibot currently is Killjoy.

The Omnibots were the only gestalt team who could merge into an intelligent and independent gestalt form. The leader of the Omnibots was always called a Prime, though after Lord Rhythmus the First died heroically in battle against the Destrons[[note]]see 'The Destrons' for more information[[/note]] and their leader, Ruinus, that title fell to Rhyme, who would come to found the first law of Terra, ''"Once a mecha has died, their body can no longer be considered an extension of themselves nor belonging to any given spark. All rights to the body were given up by the mecha's spark upon death, and any reclaiming of that right to life is a violation of our most sacred and natural of laws."''

Not to be confused with the Omnicons.

* BadassDecay: [[spoiler:Happens to the Omnibots everytime they die as the new versions have to relearn to adjust to everything.]]
* CursedWithAwesome: Their legendary powers, and the knowledge of how to resurrect them, constantly cause them to be brought back from the dead to face threats to the world. Sometimes, they [[CameBackWrong come back wrong]].
* FromNobodyToNightmare: [[spoiler:Often results from coming BackFromTheDead and CameBackWrong as the process forces the personality of the humans to overwrite the original, with memories of both the original and human coexisting, though one is stored in the helm and the other in the metallic spark chamber.]]
* KeeperOfForbiddenKnowledge: So much so, that they had nanobots everywhere on the planet that could wipe the memories of all Cybertronians in any specific field of knowledge that they choose, which would then be stored in [[AdvancedAncientAcropolis their]] [[GreatBigLibraryOfEverything Citadel]] for later use.

%%[[folder:The Destrons]]
%%A gestalt team of power mad monsters that rarely, if they could at all, transform into their rootmode. They sought power above all else, and sought to wipe out life on Earth a very long time ago - succeeding in wiping out the dinosaurs but failing to survive the cataclysm themselves. Their ability to consume energy was replicated by their enemies, the original Omnibots.
%%
%%Their leader, [[spoiler:Ruinus Prime,]] was a powerful adversary and nemesis to Lord Rhythmus the First, believing that he alone could defeat Lord Rhythmus the First and, as a result, would never allow anyone else in his gestalt team to face Rhythmus in combat alone. When Ruinus's plans to destroy the world finally came to fruition, he went out to face Rhythmus in single combat, but after almost losing to the Prime he summoned up his four gestalt mates to aid him. Though Rhythmus died in the fight, all four of his gestalt mates also died, both at the hands of Rhythmus and the Cataclysm that wrecked the land and buried them alive. The original Omnibots recovered Rhythmus' body shortly afterwards and, due to the events that followed, Ruinus would come to believe that Rhythmus was still alive and he waited for the Prime to seek him out and end him once and for all. It is unknown what happened to him after that. %% He would not become active again until the twenty-first century, where a team of Sector 7 agents would recover his remains from beneath a mountain.

* ActionGirl: She TookALevelInBadass as well.

So, everything below here is me getting to know Tropes and linking them to characters/races that I've already created or am in the process of creating so that I can understand the Tropes better. It's a permanent work in progress, so please ignore anything that looks off or funny, or simply ignore everything.

I think my goal in life for fanfiction right now is coming up with a SelfInsertFic that actually appeals to me as an intellectual, i.e. a SelfInsertFic without a MarySue. There are a lot of Self-Insert fanfics out there that require that the SI Character have special powers or some such, with little to no personality. There's no creativity in the story plots or any change in the canon storyline. I don't know why - maybe because they want to play it safe and just shove their characters in between two lines in the script? That isn't creative, or original. There is little to no attempt at coming up with a ''reason'' for why this person exists - they just ''do''. That seem to me to be the earmark of a [[MarySue Mary]]-[[WishFulfillment Wish-Fulfillment]]-[[MarySue Sue]].

I have grown tired of seeing stories like that. I want a SI story that has a little mystery in it, that has some new elements, and that actually gives the SI character a challenge to solve, as well as give them some personal growth. Even some of the stories I have faved on Fanfiction.Net don't meet the standards I have set for myself, which is why I'm writing them.

Note when I say 'self-insert' character, I don't mean those blank sheet [=OCs=] that are just inserted into the story. I mean someone from '''our''' world who is a fan of a show or continuity ending up in a universe with striking similarities to the show they fell in love with. I don't necessarily mean the author actually being inserted into the story, though that's basically what most of them are intended to be by the end of the day which is predictable, by the way. ''Well'', not in ''my'' case. In my stories, these [=OCs/SIs=] know of the shows, fell in love with the shows, but when they finally end up in them, the harsh slap of reality causes them to realize that nothing is as they thought it would be. I think that makes a better story then 'Fix-It-Sue/Slash Me' succeeds at everything, or becomes the sole focus of the antagonists, without actually changing the canon story (ESPECIALLY if that story doesn't make sense or sucks to begin with).

They are an ancient warrior gestalt team that are [[KeeperOfForbiddenKnowledge Keepers of the Forbidden Knowledge]], Kings or Queens of the Entire Planet, and well-respected warriors that are [[BackFromTheDead constantly resurrected to face threats]] [[CursedWithAwesome that the rest of the world doesn't know how to handle]] [[LazyBum or just isn't willing to deal with]]. The only living Omnibot currently is Killjoy.

The self-appointed Guardian of Earth and last Omnibot[[note]]not your tfwiki version of Omnibot[[/note]] of Earth, Killjoy is a serious and half-mad Transformer bent on the protection of her people, though it is unclear whether her people are humans or Pretenders. After a violent and confusing MindRape courtesy of [[spoiler:The Mentor]], she wakes up as a [[LightningBruiser unstoppable juggernaut]] wanting to save the world from [[spoiler:Black Arachnid]] and [[spoiler:The Hivemaster]] on her own, much to everyone else's confusion and discomfort.

Killjoy has a long-standing relationship with her twin sister[[note]][[spoiler:perhaps even to the point of only stopping if her sister says so]][[/note]], one that has shaped her life into the person she is today. Though her actions may be leaning towards psychopathy or becoming the resident [[TheSociopath sociopath]], her stalwart belief in justice and hatred of all things her sister [[WhatWouldXDo ''might'' dislike]] makes her seem more like a WellIntentionedExtremist.

The Omnibots were the only gestalt team who could merge into an intelligent and independent gestalt form. The leader of the Omnibots was always called a Prime, though after Lord Rhythmus the First died heroically in battle against the Destrons[[note]]see 'The Destrons' for more information[[/note]] that title fell to Rhymus, who would come to found the first law of Terra, ''"Once a mecha has died, their body can no longer be considered an extension of themselves nor belonging to any given spark. All rights to the body were given up by the mecha's spark upon death, and any reclaiming of that right to life is a violation of our most sacred and natural of laws."''

[[folder:The Destrons]]
A gestalt team of power mad monsters that rarely, if they could at all, transform into their rootmode. They sought power above all else, and sought to wipe out life on Earth a very long time ago - succeeding in wiping out the dinosaurs but failing to survive the cataclysm themselves. Their ability to consume energy was replicated by their enemies, the original Omnibots.

Their leader, Destroyah[[note]]a name that is in the works[[/note]], was a powerful adversary and nemesis to Rhythmus Prime, believing that he alone could defeat Rhythmus Prime and, as a result, would never allow anyone else in his gestalt team to face Rhythmus in combat alone. When Destroyah's plans to destroy the world finally came to fruition, he went out to face Rhythmus in single combat, but after almost losing to the Prime he summoned up his four gestalt mates to aid him. Though Rhythmus died in the fight, all four of his gestalt mates also died, both at the hands of Rhythmus and the Cataclysm that wrecked the land and buried them alive. The original Omnibots recovered Rhythmus' body shortly afterwards and, due to the events that followed, Destroyah would come to believe that Rhythmus was still alive and he waited for the Prime to seek him out and end him once and for all. It is unknown what happened to him after that. %% He would not become active again until the twenty-first century, where a team of Sector 7 agents would recover his remains from beneath a mountain.

Most tropes listened below are for the Leader.

* AlmightyIdiot: Too much PowerHigh came at a price. %%[[spoiler:This would end up making him more determined and single-minded in his goal to end Rhythmus, causing him to attack Killjoy. Only with the entire Omnibot gang working together do they manage to absorb his energy enough to find a hole in his armor and defeat him.]]
* PowerHigh: This is the main motivator for wishing to convert Earth into more energy that they could feast on.

%%[[folder:Angel / Sgt. Vanessa Briggs]]
%%Presumably created from a now dead or comatose sergeant of the Marines, who was brutally injured or killed due to an accident that kill most of those under her command, Briggs is a competent and loyal soldier who will do everything to make sure her teammates are safe, even those she doesn't like. She is otherwise friendly and compassionate, which changes after she is torn apart by [[spoiler:F.I.L.S.S.]] for trying to save [[spoiler:Alpha]] from [[spoiler:The Director]] and thus ended up as [[spoiler:Angel and Upsilon, the later which was a [[MindRape personification of all her love and devotion]]]].

%%She has nyctophilia and pyrophobia.

A peaceful knowledgeable group of Terrans who are either descendant of Pretenders gone by or Pretenders themselves. Because they trespassed on [[HolyGround sacred ground]], aka [[GreatBigLibraryOfEverything the Citadel]], they acquired knowledge that was forbidden for the world to know and used that knowledge to [[spoiler: constantly be resurrected from the [[CameBackWrong dead]].]] They live in [[AdvancedAncientAcropolis Omnibot City]] which supposedly was created by the original Omnibots themselves, but never actually was.
