The series takes place after ''Angel'' and follows Connor as he becomes a Slayer (of sorts) with the help of his Watcher, Andrew.
7
8	The series consists of two seasons and a crossover movie. A movie trilogy was planned for the series' conclusion, but ScheduleSlip set in. Emcee eventually posted a [[http://www.frodis.net/nyazian/wrapup.html summary of how the series was supposed to end]] in order to wrap things up.

10	The series was revived in 2020 as [[https://archiveofourown.org/series/35765 The Nyazian Prophecies: Revamped]], with the old episodes being rewritten and reposted. [[https://strawberrypatty.tumblr.com/post/619200937671770112/whenwherehau-replied-to-your-photo-so-ive-got Emcee revealed on Tumblr]] the rewritten stories will be followed by the originally intended trilogy of movies and a sequel series, set in present day.

31	* ContinuityNod: Lots to the past of ''Buffy'' and ''Angel''.
32	** Connor is a big fan of [[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E12DoublemeatPalace Doublemeat Medleys]].

38	* ContinuityPorn: ''Battle of the Champions'' is pretty well made of this, featuring every single still-living regular character and reoccurring ones like Lilah, Eve, Groosalugg and Kennedy. Several fights are revisited (Connor vs the Beast, Faith vs Caleb) and several plot threads such as Connor's identity as Angel's son and the Angel-Buffy-Spike love triangle are revisited.

40	* CunningLinguist: Andrew and Oni, mostly with demon languages.
41	* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Angel is not amused by the fact that Connor is dating a demon girl.
42	* DarkerAndEdgier: The Nyazian Prophecies: Revamped shows Connor as deeply troubled by Jasmine's manipulations of him, as his new persona of Connor Reilly realizes Jasmine/Cordelia sexually and mentally abused him. It is also heavily hinted in "Purple Haze" (and outright stated in "Confluence") that as a young girl Salome was molested by Azriel.
43	* DeadGuyJunior: Connor's full name is revealed to be Connor Francis Angel, after Alan Francis Doyle, Angel's original [[TheLancer lancer]].

47	* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:Crawford]] expires in Oni's arms.

49	* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Before Connor and Salome start dating, literally everyone-- good and bad-- knows they like each other. When they begin their SecretRelationship, only Andrew is unaware for longer than an episode.
50	* FakeGuestStar: Oni, for most of the first season. (She's added to the opening credits in the second.)
51	** [[spoiler:Wesley]] could also count, appearing in 18 out of 22 episodes in the first season.
52	* FirstEpisodeTwist: [[spoiler:Wesley]] is alive.
53	* FlirtingUnderFire: Connor and Salome pretty constantly, due to [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence both of them being turned on by battle]].

55	* ForWantOfANail: A teleportation accident has Salome end up in a parallel reality where she died in the Nyazian Massacre. Andrew is dead, Jamie left after Jules was killed, Wesley is still possessed by Cyvus Vail, Oni is working for the bad guys and Connor has returned to his nihilistic personality.
56	* FreakyFridayFlip: Connor and Andrew suffer through this in "Substitute".
57	* GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion: The Nyazian Prophecies: Revamped is a rewrite of the original episodes, polishing the writing and removing some problematic language that writer felt are an OldShame.
58	* GlamourFailure: Salome in the first episode when Connor accidentally breaks her glamour bracelet, revealing that she is a purple-skinned demon.
59	* HalfHumanHybrid: Lee Talbot, the son of Clem the Loose-Skinned Demon and Sophie. Mara Angel is a partial example, being half-{{Dhampyr}}, half-Nyazian.
60	* HellOnEarth: Illyria gives Connor a glimpse of what life on Earth was like during the time of the Old Ones and what it will be like again if the fissures to Quortoth aren't closed. It's the worst thing Connor has ever seen, which is saying a lot considering his childhood.
61	* HistoryRepeats: Lorne opens Caritas again in Palo Alto. It goes over just as well as it did in Los Angeles.
62	* HopelessSuitor: Jules has a crush on Connor, but he sees them as LikeBrotherAndSister. Thing unfortunately [[SacrificialLamb get worse for her]].
63	* IFightForTheStrongestSide: The Knights of Byzantium plan to kill Connor and his friends for harboring the hellgod Grace until Connor beats their leader in sanctified combat.
64	* IJustWantToBeBadass: Andrew suffers from this. He gets over it when he switches bodies with Connor.

66	%%* InterspeciesRomance: Connor and Salome.
67	* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: Connor goes into Wesley's mind when he's trapped by nightmares due to guilt (and his mind being played with after possession by Cyvus Vail).
68	* KidFromTheFuture: Mara the Gatekeeper was hinted as one for Connor and Salome. Confirmed through WordofGod.
69	%%* KillTheCutie: Poor [[spoiler:Jules]].
70	* KillTheOnesYouLove: James has to sacrifice [[spoiler:either Jamie or Jules. Wesley makes him choose Jules because he loves her more]] and that makes it a "sacrifice".
71	%%* LearntEnglishFromWatchingTelevision: Oni, a human raised by demons.
72	* LotusEaterMachine: Connor, Andrew, Oni and Jamie are trapped in one by Cyvus Vail.
73	* MindlinkMates: Connor and Salome. He even houses her soul temporarily.
74	%%* MuggleFosterParents: The Reillys for Connor.
75	* NamedWeapons: The Nyazian Fang, the Pure Scythe and the Aeon Glaive.
76	* NeckSnap: Salome delivers one to Jasmine (who is in the body of child of the Senior Partners Faye). It's implied she drew on Illyria's power and was also influenced by the demonic energy of Quortoth.
77	* NeverTheSelvesShallMeet: Connor in "Tempus Fugit".
78	* NerdsAreVirgins: Played with. Both Jamie and Andrew lose their respective virginities during the course of the series, but it's suggested they were virgins longer than usual due to this trope.
79	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Salome gets these a couple of times, bordering on TheWorfEffect. First from an amnesiac Connor, then from Magnimus and Illyria. The first two are so severe, the injuries remain into the next episode. At least she is able to deliver one to Jasmine.
80	* NonActionGuy: Andrew, Jamie and Oni generally. They can fight when it comes down to it, but they're much better with books.
81	* NotADate: Andrew and Matty until Andrew admits he's attracted to men.
82	* NotNamedInOpeningCredits: [[spoiler:Alexis Denisof]] in the first episode.
83	* OneWayTrip: The fissures to Quortoth have to be closed from the other side and Connor knows it.
84	* ParentsWalkInAtTheWorstTime: Type 1. Andrew points out to Connor that [[Recap/AngelS04E07ApocalypseNowish it's not nearly as bad as the last time]].
85	* PhysicalGod: Besides the ones that carried over from the parent shows, Magnimus and Grace.
86	* PopCulturedBadass: Connor, Andrew, and Jamie are all massive geeks.
87	* RecursiveFanfiction: The series has a few fanfics on its [[http://nyazian.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fanfic official forum]], some written by the series writer.
88	* ReforgedBlade: The Nyazian Fang, using Illyria's own blood.
89	* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap:[[invoked]] The author's intention, according to the first episode's commentary, in bringing Andrew on as a main character.
90	* SexSignalsDeath: Every time one of the main characters sleeps with their love interest for the first time, something horrible happens to one of them. There is some LampshadeHanging with Andrew and Oni believing it is a literal curse.
91	* ShoutOut: Many to other works, especially with geeks like Connor, Andrew and Jamie in the cast.
92	** With the exception of her current one, Salome's aliases all come from people who travel in time/space: [[Comicbook/XMen Wagner]], [[Series/QuantumLeap Beckett]] and [[Series/{{Sliders}} Mallory]].
93	** Crawford Lee, who is an actor hiding in a theater and obsessed with an actresses is named after [[Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera Michael Crawford]].
94	** "Tempus Fugit" is a pretty obvious send-up to ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII''. It's pointed out by Connor.
95	** The Gatekeeper is a bit of an homage to [[Franchise/SailorMoon Sailor Pluto]].
96	* StableTimeLoop: Salome tells Connor and Jamie about the Cronos Crystal, which she only knows because they tell her past self about it.
97	* StrangeGirl: Oni. Just... Oni. This could have something to do with the fact that she was raised by demons.
98	* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: Enforced for most of Season 1, due to a spell that prevents the main characters from contacting the Slayer's council.
99	* TheTeamBenefactor: Connor, Mandy, Andrew and Oni are all paid by the Slayer's Council.
100	* TimePolice: The Gatekeeper. The punishment for breaking the laws of time is having your essence spread across time and space.
101	* TimeTravelEpisode: "Tempus Fugit", which has Connor and Jamie end up in the Angel episode [[Recap/AngelS04E19TheMagicBullet "The Magic Bullet"]].
102	* UnresolvedSexualTension: Wesley and Oni through the first season. He's too wracked with guilt (and she struggles with being attracted to demons). [[spoiler:They get together briefly, but since Oni is still mourning Crawford, it doesn't last.]]
103	* WellDoneSonGuy: Connor is desperate for Angel's approval, to make up for everything he'd done before.
104	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Due to the series being prematurely ended, several elements were not followed up on, such as Salome's power boosts (as explained above, she was supposed to have been Illyria's true host), Conor's adoptive family retaining their false memories and Warren being rebuilt by Wolfram and Hart.
105	* WreckedWeapon: When Salome attacks Magnimus with the Nyazian Fang-- a mystical sword forged from Illyria's original body-- it not only doesn't hurt her, it shatters on impact.
106	* YourSoulIsMine: The Quortothian Devora Demon eats souls. Unfortunately, Angel is in town.
