Line #16 DarthWiki/WorldOfOmni


1	A chat-based roleplay between a group of friends held on the ''VideoGame/StarCraftII'' GameMod known as the Cortex Roleplaying Engine. World Of Omni follows the exploits of several characters of varying degrees of morality.
2
3	The central plot follows a mildly dysfunctional group of [[VillainProtagonist Villain Protagonists]] headed by [[ManipulativeBitch Mariska]] - an [[EvilSorcerer Evil Sorceress]] with ambitions for the powerful [[TheEmpire Eastern Empire]]. She is accompanied by [[TheDragon Dianatronoka]], a [[BloodKnight violent]] and [[DontYouDarePityMe stubborn]] [[OurDragonsAreDifferent red dragon]], and Halian, a HumanoidAbomination in the guise of a young boy.
4
5	The world they live in is [[FantasyKitchenSink extremely chaotic]], filled to bursting with all manner of [[OurElvesAreDifferent elves]], [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame dwarves]], [[TheUndead undead]], [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demons]], [[EldritchAbomination eldritch abominations]] and aspiring [[EvilOverlord dark lords]]. What isn't ruled by established nations is split up into dozens of [[MicroMonarchy tiny, independent fiefdoms]], which generally spend their time fighting the self-proclaimed 'forces of darkness' and each-other for various reasons.
6
7	Simply put, its the kind of world created when a near-random group of 7-14 total strangers, with varying levels of [[WritingPitfallIndex skill]]/[[GenericDoomsdayVillain creativity]]/[[MarySueTropes common sense]] and conflicting ideas, [[HilarityEnsues get together in one lobby]], and the World Of Omni group [[StylisticSuck simply wove it into their own setting]] as an excuse to give some rather blatant LampshadeHanging for comedy. [[TakeThat Often at the expense of those same people]].

13	!!World Of Omni canonically displays these tropes:
14
15	* AdvancedAncientAcropolis : Nagarthim ruins. Mind you, [[RagnarokProofing most of their technology]] [[AvertedTrope is just as ruined as the buildings themselves]], and the few well-preserved items have long since been snatched up by adventurers and thieves.
16	* ArchaeologicalArmsRace : Mariska begins one herself, by gradually recovering and restoring {{Precursor\|s}} {{Magitek}} to provide an edge over her enemies.
17	* CitadelCity : [[ShiningCity Talmain]] has high, solid stone walls and only one entrance. There's even two higher tiers (with the imperial palace at the top) with equally sheer sides - and again, only one way to get up each level. The [[AwesomeButImpractical impracticality]] of this layout, given the considerable jogging distance between each tier threshold, is only acknowledged in passing.
18	* DeadpanSnarker : The main trio all get in on this, [[LampshadeHanging especially when it comes to pointing out the little details]].
19	* TheEmpire : The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Eastern Empire]] is a fairly benevolent example.
20	* EvilVersusEvil :
21	** [[VisionaryVillain Mariska]] versus [[TheSocialDarwinist Viraashakara]].
22	** Later, Mariska versus [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Junae]].
23	* FantasyKitchenSink : Anything goes in this setting, to the point of coming up with [[OurMonstersAreDifferent New Races As The Plot Demands]].
24	* GreenRocks : [[ImportedAlienPhlebotinum Lithecite]].
25	* {{Magitek}}: The {{Precursors}} had this all over the place, including [[EnergyWeapon energy weapons]], golem-robots and [[CoolAirship flying ships]]. It's become LostTechnology in the modern age, though individual items can be restored with some time and effort.
26	* {{Precursors}}: The [[LizardFolk Nagarthim]], who once had a [[{{Magitek}} powerful and advanced]] civilization before they were brought to their knees by an unexplained cataclysm. [[spoiler: Mariska is the LastOfTheirKind, and fifteen-thousand years later she has managed to start resurrecting her fallen race as the Automata.]]
27	* OurDragonsAreDifferent : They generally follow the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' standard.
28	* ShiningCity : Talmain, TheEmpire's seat of power [[spoiler: until the red dragons leveled it]].
29	* TwoGirlsAndAGuy : The main trio. [[spoiler: Until Dianatronoka and Mariska became enemies, anyway.]]
30	* VillainProtagonist : Mariska, Dianatronoka, and [[BlackAndGreyMorality several other major characters]].
31	* YouAllMeetInAnInn : Many epidodes do start within a local inn, and Mariska and Dianatronoka even had their first encounter in such a place.
32	* WorldOfHam : Dastardly villains, overbearing heroes and melodramatic conflicts galore.
