* DoingItForTheArt: The primary motivation behind most FPL members creating characters to begin with on the site, in both its classic and modern incarnations.

** Taken UpToEleven by [[FallenAngel Zalrafel]], which basically forms his shtick. Even when [[BroughtDownToNormal stripped of divinity]] and [[CessationOfExistence banished from existence]] on the decree of ''[[{{God}} The Almighty]]'' Himself, he was able to hold his form together through his ''sheer willpower''.

* MoreDakka: BARE CHESTED THUGS, being the AffectionateParody of Contra that they are, basically unload unholy amounts of dakka on their opponents as their power set. Joe Big Gunns plays this trope UpToEleven, where his HyperspaceArsenal basically allows him to unleash dakka to the extent of making him a PersonOfMassDestruction. And if that's not enough dakka, he even has an option to call in a ''KillSat''.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Oh hell YES. While site traffic isn't quite what is used to be compared to its heyday between 2000-2006, the sheer number of characters that have forged a lasting legacy on the site is simply breathtaking.

Many of the more prominent members immigrated to [=FreeForums=] to create a new community hub after Electric Ferret's shutdown, creatively named [[https://electricferret.freeforums.net/ Magnetic Fox]], which naturally included a SpiritualSuccessor to FPL titled ''Imagine Nation'', or INC for short. After a few solid years, however, traffic to Magnetic Fox slowly ground to a halt and the INC universe unfortunately never fully developed, but tropes from INC will be listed here as well for completion's sake.

In 2020, the Electric Ferret site slyly reopened and the original webmaster Serge (a.k.a. Fox) began officially endorsing Justice's project as an extension of the FPL multiverse, now nicknamed ''FPL: Redux''. On the EF boards, talk of ''another'' FPL reboot is still on the cards, but hasn't yet been realised in any form.

From the Comic Book Universe Battles, a new concept was born, as a group of CBUB regulars expressed their interest in doing similar matchups but using original characters of their own making. It was from there that the Fantasy Powers League came into existence, an interactive website where one creates their original characters and puts them in matchups against other original creations. It's WebOriginalFiction, it's PlayByPostGames... it has elements of both and at the same time it's something more. The original incarnation of the site ran from 1999 to 2009 and from simple X versus Y matchups the FPL site spawned its own in-character universe and continuity which led to much WorldBuilding and the establishment of its own UniverseBible. Then came the year 2009, where the webmaster introduced a massive site revamp for both CBUB and FPL alike, which saw an overhaul of the site interface. With the site revamp also came a ContinuityReboot of the old FPL canon. The Fantasy Powers League forums were closed in late 2013, with the chief reasons being a lack of traffic, and financial burdens and offline commitments on the part of the admin.
