%%* LeParkour: [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreed Altair]], of course

* WarriorPrince: played straight with [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia Marth]], [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Legolas]], and some others, but subverted with Roy ([[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade no, not ''that'' Roy]]), who is actually the King of South Castle but continues using the title of Prince because he skipped out on his own coronation to chase his archenemy

* WarriorPrince: played straight with [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia Marth]], [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Legolas]], and some others, but subverted with Roy ([[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe no, not ''that'' Roy]]), who is actually the King of South Castle but continues using the title of Prince because he skipped out on his own coronation to chase his archenemy

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: especially considering that there are multiple [=RPG=]s open at the same time, many participants have more than one character, and that's not even getting into {{NPC}}s

* HumanMomNonHumanDad: inverted with Chernabog; his father was a human. [[spoiler: His mother is the fire-folk Legionnaire Amelia Nemeu, who is also Roy's aide-de-camp]].

* RealityEnsues: in the original version of the game, [[TheLeader Travis]] leaps at [[BigBad Visser Three]] in snow leopard morph, planning to bring him down right then and there. Visser Three easily stops him with his tail-blade and injures him as well, and then morphs into a fire-breathing monster.

* EvilIsBigger: many members of the Army of Shadow are imposing [[Film/TheLordOfTheRing Uruk-hai]], [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Darknuts, Moblins]], and the like. Also, many of the Army’s commanders and other named characters are huge, like Ganon (even in human form), Sauron, [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Alduin]], Lord Soth, and every single one of [[BigBad Grogna]]’s captains, as well as many of the more unique monsters that are in their service.

* GreyAndGrayMorality: most of the [=RPG=]s that have [[DesignatedHero Designated Heroes]] and [[DesignatedVillain Designated Villains]] have this, as both sides can be played.

''Titan Rampage'', initially inspired by ''VideoGame/AgeOfMythology'', is a slightly less conventional RPG: unlike others, its setting is flexible to allow new countries to appear, though the general geography, environment, and the antagonistic Titans are predefined. The story follows original characters by the participants as the Titans are released from Hell and wreak havoc across the world, prompting the heroes to band together to stop them. ''Titan Rampage'' was originally started on Jurassic Park Legacy but quickly died, and involved Titans based on those appearing the ''Age of Mythology'' and in Disney's ''Hercules'' as well as some uncreative original ones. The second and current iteration features ''Age of Mythology'' and ''Hercules'' Titans as well as many more based on enemies from ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'', [[WhatMayHaveBeen including ones that never made it to the final game]].

** the Seeokari are a combination of Native Americans (particularly members of the Iroquois Confederacy) and Eurasian steppe tribes such as the Mongols

Rplegacy is a [[PlayByPostGames role-playing]] website started by [[Tropers/EmperorOshron Oshron]] in response to the shutdown of the general RPG section of Jurassic Park Legacy, where the core membership of the site originally met. Even after general {{RPG}}s were brought back to JPL, RPL persisted as a dedicated RPG site. Oshron even made a database site for anything and everything posted on RPL. Unfortunately, RPL is prone to dry spells due to real-life concerns of its low continuing membership, but almost all of its larger {{RPG}}s remain open.

Currently, RPL hosts a Series/PrehistoricPark RPG; ''Dark Clouds Gathering'', a fantasy crossover RPG; ''The Dark Tide'' a StarWars RPG; ''Animorphs: The Resistance'' based on the book series; and a select few smaller {{RPG}}s. Some planned {{RPG}}s for the future include ''Titan Rampage'' (based on ''VideoGame/AgeOfMythology''), science-fiction RPG ''Endwar'', and AlternateHistory ''Atlas: The March Towards The End''.

* EvilIsBigger: many members of the Army of Shadow are imposing [[Main/TheLordOfTheRing Uruk-hai]], [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Darknuts, Moblins]], and the like. Also, many of the Army’s commanders and other named characters are huge, like Ganon (even in human form), Sauron, [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Alduin]], Lord Soth, and every single one of [[BigBad Grogna]]’s captains, as well as many of the more unique monsters that are in their service.

* Franchise/FireEmblem: ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia Shadow Dragon]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Path of Radiance]]''

** [[Main/LordOfTheRings Durin’s Bane, the Balrog of Moria]], is only “defeated” by Roy and [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Frog]] using their combined powers to slow him down while other members of the Legion of Light escape, and ''they'' only get out because a bunch of centaurs show up and cover them. And even then, they take high casualties and the balrog is virtually unscathed.

* ActorAllusion: a planned interaction between [[Fracnhise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Jack Sparrow]] and [[Main/TheLordOfTheRings Legolas]] is Jack commenting that Legolas [[Creator/OrlandoBloom seems very familiar]].

* CoolSword: most characters who use swords have one: [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda the Master Sword]], [[Videogame/FireEmblemAkaneia the Falchion]], [[Videogame/SoulSeries Xianghua’s sword No-Name]], [[TheLordOfTheRings Anduril]], and many others

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Caranom’s native werewolves aren’t shapeshifters, but literal a case of a HalfHumanHybrid resulting from the union of Caranom’s sentient wolves and almost any of Caranom’s other native peoples, and quite simply look like the other race but with wolf-like features (including fur) and have a habit of going on all fours; [[Main/TheLordOfTheRings Sauron]] can also transform into one of Middle-earth's werewolves [[note]]in fact, it was his original form in Arda[[/note]], which is simply a huge, ferocious wolf rather than a wolfman.

* SchizoTech: mostly the result of new technologies being introduced from other dimensions: [[Franchise/TheDarkTower Roland Deschain]] is the first one to introduce firearms to Caranom, followed closely by [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Jack Sparrow]] and the crew of the ''Black Pearl'', the [[Manga/AttackOnTitan Survey Corps]] brings along their own gunpowder as well as their 3D Maneuver Gear and steel swords, the [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Royal Army of Hyrule]] brings bombs with them, and so on. The Army of Shadow is no less limited, what with master engineers [[TheLordOfTheRings Morgoth, Sauron, and Saruman]] on their side. [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Altair]] also has knowledge of futuristic technology (relevant to him) via the Apple of Eden that he can spread around if he so wishes.

* WarriorPrince: played straight with [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia Marth]], [[Main/TheLordOfTheRings Legolas]], and some others, but subverted with Roy ([[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe no, not ''that'' Roy]]), who is actually the King of South Castle but continues using the title of Prince because he skipped out on his own coronation to chase his archenemy
