9	''Officer Misako'' is a TroperWork done by the Tropers/{{sabrinadiamond}}, inspired by the online RPG game ''VideoGame/MechQuest''. It is both a DeconstructorFleet ''and'' a DarkFic, combining WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld, meta-references to horror and Science fiction with a twisty ending... Sometimes it shows elements of IntercontinuityCrossover at some points.
10
11	In the year 3008, Misako and her friends attend the prestigious [[ElaborateUniversityHigh Soluna University]], run by a crotchety old principal named Dean Warlic. Life is normal, except for the occasional Mecha stomping past, alien invasions, werewolf bikers, [[ElementalPowers the mystical 'Force']] and the power of Rock and Roll. At the same time, two band members are preparing for [[ThePowerOfRock an important concert]] when a MadScientist and the disdained [[TheEvilPrince brother]] 'The Black Prince' who both [[GreyAndGrayMorality declare a technological 'warfare']] on most Solunian [[BizarreBabyBoom citizens]] all in the name of "ForScience"! The end of their structured society as the three know it is nigh - as the MadScientist converts more of the citizens against their will, into [[BodyHorror cyborgs]]...
12
13	How are all these strange events related? It all changes when TheHero is badly wounded by an aggressor and henceforth goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge, taking up police work all in the name of patriotic JUSTICE!

19	----
20	!!Here are the tropes...
21
22	%% * ActionGirl: [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Larosin]] ''and'' Misako.
23	%% * AffectionateParody: Detective Noir, BMovie plots ''and'' Mecha anime justified...
24	%% * AllThereInTheManual: Blade100's ''A Rouge's Tale'' and ''Legend of The Stars''
25	%% * AllPowerfulBystander: [[spoiler: Rayne Daie in Reaper mode]]- almost nothing can beat Death.
26	%% * AmbiguouslyGay: [[spoiler: Devlin and some unspecified others.]] Yes even the cyborgs Kayo/Kaede, the (fraternal) [[spoiler: CreepyTwins of Soluna University.]]
27	%% * AmnesiaLoop: Happens to the main cast after the Reset.
28	* AndTheAdventureContinues: In the finale, with [[spoiler: everyone else dead,]] except for 'old' Rayne, poor Diaglo and the main character- who all says, "WeAreNotGoingThroughThatAgain!"
29	%% * AngelUnaware: Vixen [[spoiler: reincarnated as the 'Avatar of Time' and]] resident RealityWarper in the finale.
30	* ArrangedMarriage: The Black Prince and the Lightning Mage, she's ''not'' happy with the proposal- she was kidnapped prior to this. It's actually more blatant and explicit in ''Her Unbound Captors'' prequel.
31	%% * AscendedDemon: The Lightning Mage [[spoiler: and possibly Diaglo]].
32	%% * AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler: Both the Lightning Mage and Vixen]]... Or is it?
33	%% * BaitAndSwitchLesbians: Subverted, sort of
34	%% * BittersweetEnding: ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin
35	%% * BeautyEqualsGoodness: Inverted with the Lightning Mage, subverted with both Larosin and Kayo.
36	%% BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Subverted occasionally
37	* BeneathTheMask: Everyone, but especially Larosin and the Lightning Mage, who is at least [[spoiler: AffablyEvil and years later suffers a SplitPersonalityTakeover]] but that's another saga in itself.
38	%% * BewareTheNiceOnes: The Lightning Mage and/or Misako
39	%% * BigBad: The Queen [[spoiler: of Monsters of ''VideoGame/AdventureQuestWorlds'']]
40	%% * BizarreBabyBoom: This event effected the whole world- even AfterTheEnd
41	%% * BlackComedy: The ''whole'' story (''Circle You'')
42	%% * BlessedWithSuck: Most of the ''main'' characters.
43	* BlindDate: Misako and her Best friends enter a Valentine pop-quiz show ForTheEvulz, sadly the dates do NOT match up.
44	%% * BlindSeer: See Fainting Seer.
45	%% * BreakTheCutie: [[NonLinearCharacter Pascha]], Diaglo and Devlin.
46	%% * ButchLesbian: Larosin.
47	%% * CantHaveSexEver: The Lightning mage herself, to her own misfortune!

49	%% * CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Poor Kayo and Kaede get this treatment.
50	%% * CycleOfRevenge: This is the 'song that never ends'...
51	%% * ComingOfAgeStory: An Aesop.
52	* CooldownHug: Melkior does this to a rampaging Diaglo. Then they both hug.
53	* ConscienceMakesYouGoBack: [[spoiler: Misako considers not assisting Larosin after an ''almost'' fatal injury with Kayo the cyborg, but she ''helps'' her anyway. This act end up like TheFarmerAndTheViper later on.]]
54	* ContinuityCavalcade: After the 'Fourth Reset' in Swordhaven, ''nearly'' everyone from both eras were [[ContinuityPorn 'brought back']] as the TimeyWimeyBall soon bounces back to normal, [[spoiler: this also causes a rather permanent merging of both past and future events...]] This was very confusing for everyone involved as the BigBad arrives.
55	* CrapsackWorld: Soluna City (prior the Reset) exposes seams of a corrupt PoliceState ultra-dependent on technology. Everyone has personal problems, and suffers through them.
56	%% * CriminalMindGames: Explanatory.
57	* DontFearTheReaper: [[spoiler: Rayne, post-Reset, becomes ''Death's assistant'' after spending his whole pre-Reset life as a pizza delivery boy. His new job status doesn't affect his witty banter or very funny humour.]] Still everyone fears Rayne after all.
58	%% * DarkerAndEdgier: Fanfic of ''VideoGame/MechQuest'', in a more deconstructed fashion.
59	* DatingServiceDisaster: Vixen tries to send her email to Kayo, but ''[[TheCasanova somebody else]]'' intercepts that... It ends [[NearRapeExperience badly.]]
60	* DeadPersonConversation: Already deceased [[spoiler: Lightning Mage and Misako]] both communicate in their SelfInflictedHell / TheLifeStream.
61	%% * DealWithTheDevil: Larosin's whole schtick with [[spoiler: The Queen of Monsters]]
62	%% * DeconstructionFic: Makes you wonder...
63	%% * DemonicPossession: The unfortunate Lightning Mage.
64	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Kaede Maple (full name) has the [[RuleOfFunny same effect of saying]] ''Maple-Leaf Maple'' twice.
65	* DevourTheDragon: [[spoiler: The Queen of Monsters does this to Priestess Pascha's body in the Citadel.]]
66	%% * DoorStopper: The entire series is THICK.
67	%% * TheDragon: Larosin and later ''Pascha''

81	%% * FantasticNoir: The whole concept.
82	%% * FaintingSeer: Pascha, [[spoiler: Devlin's BrainwashedAndCrazy sister,]] also became a BlindSeer in the finale.

84	%% * FalseFriend: The suspense in this is to find out just ''who'' is false and who are your real allies.
85	%% * FantasticRacism: Pascha and magic, Misako and werewolves.
86	%% * FirstChurchOfMecha: The ''VideoGame/AdventureQuestWorlds'' Citadel in the final chapter becomes [[spoiler: like this with Pascha]] as the priestess.
87	%% * FracturedFairytale: Has slight elements of this.
88	%% * FreudianTrio: Misako, Devlin and Larosin.
89	%% * FriendOrIdolDecision
90	%% * FromBadToWorse: The entire fanfic.
91	%% * FusionDance: [[Manga/DragonBall FUU-SION, HA!]]
92	* GainaxEnding: Activating GenreShift! (everyone: AAAAAAAAAAA-)
93	* GenderBlenderName: Often used for 'comical' effects, and these are often unintentional. For example, is Kayo ''really'' a boy's name? (Well, it is in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayo_(Nigerian_name) Africa]], but...[[http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/meaning_of_Kayo.html Whoops]])
94	%% * GenderRestrictedAbility: Subverted somewhat, Devlin gets a really cool power, the power of getting people to 'ignore' him by [[spoiler: becoming invisible.]] Diaglo gets a rather ''unusual'' tail which lifted heavy things, most are blood-knights.
95	%% * GenreRoulette: Good luck!
96	%% * GodIsEvil: TheBigBad in some ways ([[spoiler: The Queen of Monsters]]).
97	%% * GoodThingYouCanHeal: Larosin can heal quite quickly...
98	* GovernmentConspiracy: Part of the MilkmanConspiracy and a direct [[GasLeakCoverup 'cover up']].
99	%% * GuardianOfTheMultiverse: [[spoiler: The One]]
100	* HalfHumanHybrid The Lightning Mage is a half-Lorian hybrid.
101	* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler: This incident causes the Reset...]] setting up some Disaster Dominoes for the finale- and this is ''exactly'' what the BigBad desired.
102	%% * HowUnscientific: A common nuance.
103	%% * HowWeGotHere: Explained in the [[spoiler: prequel ''Rites: Requiems Past'']] (Larosin's biography) and [[spoiler: ''Her Unbound Captors'']] (The Lightning Mage's origins)
104	%% * HisNameIs: A ''minor'' annoyance when the team does some investigations of their own.
105	%% * HistoryRepeats: Oh nooo!
106	%% * HumanAlien: The majority of Solunian city people are this trope.
107	%% * HumanityOnTrial: The BigBad is the post-Reset 'judge' of the Lorians...
108	%% * HumongousMecha: Only in the first few chapters.
109	%% * HurricaneOfPuns: In keeping with the humour at the beginning, disappears later on.
110	* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Lesbian!Larosin tries to do this sometimes to Misako, it's ''ineffective''.
111	%% * IHaveManyNames: The Lightning Mage to Misako.
112	* IKnowWhatYouFear: [[spoiler: Had Priestess Pascha ''continued'' her progress, then she would have ''expanded'' on her prophetic abilities to the detriment of everyone's fears.]]
113	%% * IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Misako to the Lightning Mage
114	%% * IndustrializedEvil: The whole concept.
115	%%* KilledMidSentence: A lot of causalities ended up this way...
116	%% * KnightOfCerebus: Larosin enters the picture and proclaims the dreaded words.
117	* TheLifestream: Most Solunians and (even humans spawn) from [[LifeEnergy the Force]] and dissolve into the essence when they [[NostalgiaHeaven end their existence]], with a few [[SelfInflictedHell exceptions]] of course...
118	* LostCommonKnowledge: ''A lot'' of the people after the Reset seem to have reverted back to the basics
119	%% * LovecraftLite: The epilogue.
120	%% * LovePolygon: With a VisualNovel/SchoolDays twist
121	* MagicVersusScience: A major plot-line in the saga, with the MadScientist and the [[spoiler: Priestess Pascha]] representing ''science'' and [[LifeEnergy the Force]] representing a form of hidden pseudo-''magic''. Finally comes to a head in the GoingCosmic GrandFinale. It's a tie.
122	%% * TheMagicVersusTechnologyWar: A major theme
123	* MeaningfulName: Everyone in the series. For starters, the name Misako is apparently Japanese for ''Beautiful, helpful child.'' [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished Ironic]] isn't it?
124	%% * MedicalHorror: The MadScientist doesn't discriminate... (wicked glint)
125	%% * MergedReality: What happens in [[spoiler: chapter 21]]
126	%% * MultipleChoicePast: [[MindScrew EVERYONE]]!
127	%% * MindScrew: The finale.
128	%% * MobileMaze: Misako and the others are totally lost...
129	%% * TheMole: [[spoiler: Larosin]]
130	%% * MoodWhiplash: The beginning is more 'light-hearted', come the finale...
131	* MundaneFantastic: Werewolf gangsters, pizza-delivering robots and HumanAlien detectives, nuff said.
132	%% * TheMultiverse: Their world turns out to be a twisted version of this.
133	* MythArc: This fanfic is related to ''half a dozen'' other stories, e.g. ''The Caged Phoenix'' saga and others... You can easily tell the author has ''too much time'' on her hands.
134	%% * TheNothingAfterDeath: Duh. That or SelfInflictedHell...
135	%% * OurDemonsAreDifferent: Guess who?
136	* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler: Melkior]] (temporary) becomes a physical god, subverted as she wants to [[IJustWantToBeNormal return to the normal realm]] and gives up her godliness, aw.
137	* PlatonicCave: Only Vixen 'sees reality' for what it truly is, the other characters 'can't see' the forest for the trees until the BigBad arrives and ''destroys'' their own perceptions at the very end. Chaos and insanity soon ensures.
138	%% * PlotTailoredToTheParty: Done ''subtlely''.
139	%% * PsychologicalHorror: And that's just for starters.
140	%% * PsychoticLoveTriangle
141	* PubertySuperpower: Many of the characters get their superpowers during University. Big surprise, eh?
142	%% * RageAgainstTheAuthor: My characters rage between chapters...
143	%% * NearRapeExperience: Subverted oh so much.
144	%% * RoleCalled
145	* RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude: Deconstructed like most of the tropes on this page. Despite being University students, a fatal combo of bad teamwork, an idiotic [[AdultsAreUseless plan ]] and a severe lack of experience with TheMafia cost Misako's team a lot.
146	%% * RealityBleed: A natural consequence of The Reset.
147	%% * RealityBreakingParadox
148	%% * ReferenceOverdosed: Happens.
149	%% * {{Reincarnation}}: It's a cycle!
150	%% * ReincarnationRomance: Turns into this in the finale.
151	%% * ResetButtonEnding: ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin... Which leads to chapter 21.
152	%% * RestartTheWorld: This is the logical consequence of the paradox.
153	* RetGone: [[spoiler: Larosin]] in the finale, all thanks to [[spoiler: Melkior and Vixen]]'s meddling with the shattered timeline
154	%% * ScarpiaUltimatum: Happens in a rather dark fashion...
155	%% * ScienceFantasy: The gist of this fanfiction.
156	* SealedCastInAMultipack: The Reset (thankfully) allows this to happen, causing (almost) everyone to reincarnate.
157	%% * SevenDeadlySins: Some of the characters 'represent' their respective sin... The BigBad sees this and wants to [[spoiler: recify]] their whole society, Cue the Reset.
158	%% * ShoutOut: To ''Franchise/IndianaJones'', ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' and ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk''.
159	%% ** Inverted as it is the year 3008 (in Earth years) and the main characters actually KNOW the shows mentioned... which is kind of like LeaningOnTheFourthWall. Also, the way the MadScientist [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Homage programs cyborgs]] is akin to ''Harder Better Faster''
160	%% *** Here's a big ShoutOut: [[spoiler: 'The One']] is similar to the [[http://animorphs.wikia.com/wiki/The_One Animorphs character]].
161	* SleepModeSize: [[spoiler: Diaglo and Olapen are both this]] as they are both OnlyKnownByTheirNickname. They shall transform IF you say their [[spoiler: respective True Names- aka IKnowYourTrueName.]]
162	%% * SlidingScaleOfFreeWillVsFate: Type 3
163	%% * SnipeHunt: Pascha sends Devlin and Misako on this to distract from the fact that she's with the mafia earlier on.
164	* SignificantAnagram: Larosin is actually a really clever anagram of [[spoiler: her former name.]] This is very significant as Garnet was ''based'' on her DNA...
165	%% * StableTimeLoop: Don't think too hard...
166	%% * SuperpoweredEvilSide: Misako and the Lightning Mage.
167	%% * SweetPollyOliver: See Crossdresser
168	* TakeThat: The entire 21st chapter is a fantasy-parody of [[spoiler:the Literature/BookOfRevelation]].
169	%% * TellMeAboutMyFather: Ummm.
170	%% * TenLittleMurderVictims: Who-dunnit?
171	* ThereAreNoTherapists: Which then leads to the 'Dysfunction Junction' listed above, of course, the AdultsAreUseless.
172	%% * TheyLookLikeUsNow: The main problem.
173	%% * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Misako and Vixen (they both have short hair, except Vixen acts more girly)
174	* TrainingFromHell: The sword-dueling classes alone take over five chapters and the energy blade fights... even longer
175	%% * TheTragicRose
176	%% * UnrequitedLove: Larosin and Misako
177	%% * UnwantedHarem: The Valentine's chapter, in a VerySpecialEpisode
178	* WeCanRuleTogether: TheBigBad promises this fate to [[spoiler: a reincarnated Misako]]. She almost gives in then therefore [[TakeAThirdOption takes a third option]].
179	%% * WhenItAllBegan: This is the actual situation that sets out the Reset itself.
180	* WholesomeCrossdresser: Misako was accused of this and even dressed up like a male to fool [[spoiler: a werewolf blind date, it doesn't work out]].
181	%% * WillTheyOrWontThey: [[spoiler: They won't.]]
182	%% * WomanScorned: Larosin, lampshaded and quoted by Misako
183	%% * YouCantFightFate A major theme of the fanfic.
