3	Estelle Fenix and Marcus Wiseman are two rookie Guilders based in Clockwork Town. Their job brings them into meeting various characters and embarking on adventures that will take them across the kingdom and to explore the world. There will be laughter, tears, life, death, romance, heartache, adversity, tribulations, conspiracies and a whole load of monster ass-kicking. This is a Legend of Heroes. This is Tales of the World.

5	Tales is a PlayByPostGame with a varied, rotating cast. While it is an original story, tropes are honored and lovingly referred to throughout.

18	* BleakLevel: The Woods of Weir, as well as its immediate aftermath.
19	* BreakTheCutie: No character is safe from this trope.
20	* TheCasanova: Thunderhawk, apparently. Although the female leads aren't buying it.
21	* CatGirl: Nikkolaira Wyatt, although she isn't the only one.
22	* ChainedHeat: Moira and Syed. It's perminent.
23	* CharacterLevel: Represented by letter ranks, the lowest being H.

26	* CharacterPortrait
27	* CheshireCatGrin: Lucien's trademark smile.
28	* ChubbyMamaSkinnyPapa: Valentine and Jack.

31	* CombinationAttack: Syed's electric magic combines with Lisette's arrows or Tobi's bullet to create a railgun-like attack.
32	* CoolShades: Don has loads of these, and even gave one to Trixie.
33	* CoolSword: Estelle's Magitech Sword isn't especially common in Artar.
34	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Though this RP avoids random killing for the sake of killing, the deaths that do occur are pretty brutal.
35	** The vision Estelle experienced in the very first chapter, as everyone's very skin and bones are blasted away from Gaoh's Magitech Cannon.

37	** Grant purging Gaoh's pores with sand.
38	** Lucifer ripping out Oren's heart.
39	** Many of the nightmares depicted during Thaum. For example: Moira's son Sonny dying at every turn, and the unnamed figure with Trixie crushed by a large mass.

57	** FriendToBugs
58	* FriendlyRivalry: Estelle likely considers her relationship with Trent to be this.

72	* HeelFaceTurn: Don and Josette Capuello, along with their "bros".
73	* HeroesPreferSwords: Estelle, Moira, and Lute.

75	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Don and Trixie.
76	* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Against Golem!Cole, and later Selan's fight with a brainwashed Don.
77	* InSeriesNickname: Also doubles as AffectionateNickname in most cases.
78	** Given by Trixie:

80	*** "Miss Pretty" for Selan.
81	*** "Lissa" and "Bugbread" for Lisette and Kapi, respectively.

91	* IntellectualAnimal: Kapi is shown to be rather intelligent, even moreso than his owner Lisette on occasion!

94	* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Thunderhawk, although he ''usually'' takes his job seriously.
95	* KilledOffForReal: Largo dies at the end of the very first chapter.
96	* LampshadeHanging: “… All I’m saying is, don’t you think it’d be so much easier if these monsters just, I don’t know, blew up in a puff of smoke and turned into some gald and items?”
97	* LateArrivalSpoiler: Arguably for anyone who joined after Largo's death and reread the RP from the start to catch up.
98	* LetsSplitUpGang
99	* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Played with; Selan is the Light to Amy's Dark, but ironically Amy is attuned to the element of light.
100	* LivingShadow: Jack and Shiloh's power. Jack also CastsNoShadow.
101	* TheLoad: Lisette could be seen as this during the Woods of Weir chapter, but by the end she takes some steps in the right direction.
102	* LonelyRichKid: What brought Lisette all the way to Artar in the first place.

116	* TheNicknamer: Don and Trixie notably; many of the others employ nicknames as well.

118	* NoGearLevel: For a large portion of the chapter at Hawthorne Manor.
119	* NoSocialSkills: Lute, although other characters show this at times.
120	* OhCrap: The Pride in Tabul against Gaoh.
121	* OneWingedAngel: Oren and Lucifer.

133	* RecurringBoss: Many bosses are left alive, hinting at a future return. Some have already made their return - as nightmares chasing the heroes in Thaum.
134	* RecurringExtra: Crispin, to a small extent. He appears as a chef at Los Paraisos and again as a fire-breather at the circus.
135	* RefugeInAudacity: In-universe, no one seemed to blink when Thunderhawk totally hit on a fifteen-year-old girl. [[Squick Out of universe]]...
136	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Kapi, full stop. Estelle can hardly resist Kapi's cuteness.
137	* RunningGag: Multiple.
138	** Kapi clinging to Syed's face.
139	** Lute's adoration for potatoes.
140	* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: While Don is capable of some rather amazing feats of strength, he lacks the ability to read.
141	* SavageWolves: The Firons, as well as the wolves in the Woods of Weir.
142	* SceneryPorn: Beautiful images are used throughout the RP to detail the Pride's environment at a better extent than words alone can do.
143	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Everyone fleeing from giant monsters in Thaum. (And Don's flight from bugs.)
144	* ShipTease: Estelle and Marcus, most notably. Amy and Syed is also hinted. ;)

149	* TrademarkFavoriteFood:
150	** Estelle with sweets.

152	** Moira and Amy with alcohol. (Thunderhawk fits here as well, though the last time he was seen, he was trying to break away from his alcoholism.)
153	* Tsundere: Amy; she has definitely opened up more to the other Pride members since she has first joined them.
154	* VacationEpisode: The Los Paraisos chapter, although The Pride was still on the job.

156	* VitriolicBestBuds: Amy and Trixie.
