3	''Imperial Beach Prep'' is a roleplay located Website/{{Tumblr}} set in Imperial Beach, California.

10	!!This roleplay provides examples of the following tropes:
11	* ActingForTwo: Janet Devlin is the faceclaim for both Addy and Lily, a set of twins.
12	* ActorAllusion: Brendon, Matty, and Andy often make jokes about how they're mistaken or eerily look like the boys of Music/OneDirection.
13	* AllGaysArePromiscuous: Played straight with Duke and Marky. Inverted with Shay and Dante.
14	* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: Elise, and, to a lesser degree, Roni. All girls also want spirit leaders.
15	%%* AlphaBitch: Elise.
16	* AlternateUniverse: Could be considered an alternate universe to Camp Driftwood.
17	%%* AmbiguouslyGay: Erik. Later becomes CampStraight

19	%%* AsianAndNerdy: Claire.
20	%%* BelligerentSexualTension: Blake and Candace.
21	* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' keep Brendon away from Matty if Matty is upset and needs him. Also, don't insult or subjeciate ''any'' of Erik's theater girls. Chelsy doesn't like anyone being even remotely offensive in any way ever.
22	* BigBrotherInstinct: Dylan towards Morgan. Jackson and Candace are a none-related example. Erik towards all the theater girls.
23	* TheBigGuy: Brendon when put next to Matty, Maya, Roni, and Natalie...Andy is about two inches taller than him. Hunter qualifies.

26	%%* BrattyHalfPint: Candace, Blake, Natalie.
27	%%* BrutalHonesty: Hunter is a fan of this. Elise, too. Elliott has a problem with this from time-to-time.
28	%%* CampStraight: Erik

32	%%* CreepyChild: Lauren. At least towards Matty.
33	%%* [[LoveEpiphany Crush Epiphany:]] Blake has one of these.
34	* DawsonCasting: A lot of the characters are played by actors and singers who are [[OlderThanTheyLook over twenty]]. Inverted with Alex and Candace, who are both the same age as their faceclaims.
35	* DeadpanSnarker: Natalie, Becca, Jordan, Jack. Matty when he's in a bad mood or stressed.
36	%%* TheDitz: Stella.
37	* DramaBomb: Being a roleplay, this happens a lot. Most of it is started by the roleplayers being flat out sadistic. Most memorable one being Brendon's [[spoiler: suicide attempt.]]
38	* DrivesLikeCrazy: It's been mentioned that Matty has trouble behind the wheel.
39	* EmbarrassingFirstName: Austin considers his first name [[spoiler: Jonathan]] to be this.

41	* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Erik and Austin.
42	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: It's a preparatory school. Located in Imperial Beach.
43	* FirstGirlWins: Invoked with Roni and Matty; despite having many [[MarySue girls]] chasing after him, he still inevitably started dating Roni. Inverted with Lauren, who, no matter how hard she tried, never could get Matty back.
44	* {{Gayngst}}: Dante has a bit of this when his brother [[spoiler: isn't supportive and outright mean about him having a boyfriend.]]
45	* {{Gayngster}}: Marky. Dante could be considered this as [[spoiler: his family is associated with the mafia.]]
46	* GayMoment: Dante and Austin share a few of these, as do Jackson and Erik. Matty and Brendon live in one big gay moment.
47	%%* GenkiGirl: Alex.
48	%%* GirlOnGirlIsHot
49	%%* GrandRomanticGesture: Brendon seems to be a fan of these.
50	* HeavySleeper: Brendon can barely be considered living for the first half-hour he's awake.
51	* HeterosexualLifePartners: Brendon and Matty. Lampshaded whenever given an opportunity.
52	%%* HomoeroticSubtext: Matty and Brendon enjoy this.
53	* HopelessSuitor: Matty has had a few, in a female-to-male example of this trope.
54	%%* {{Jerkass}}: Hunter.
55	%%* {{Keet}}: Matty. Oh, so much.
56	%%* LargeHam: Erik has a dramatic flair for breathing.

60	%%* MoodWhiplash: Oh, let me count the ways...
61	* MissingMom: Brendon's mom left him as an infant, Blake's is dead, Erik's parents went through a divorce and his mom rarely speaks to him. Candace and Natalie, also. Though, as this takes place at a boarding school, we rarely see anyone's parents but Matty's.
62	%%* MsFanservice: Karina.
63	* NeatFreak: Brendon due to his OCD. Matty just likes cleanliness.
64	* TheNicknamer: A lot of characters. Austin, Brendon, and Matty are the most notable. Natalie also enjoys slapping random nicknames on Brendon.
65	* NoodleIncident: Brendon and Matty's [[spoiler: first kiss.]] It was made known that they shared it, but they refused to tell because they "swore never to talk about it." Until Natalie got Brendon drunk on New Year's and he revealed they were [[spoiler: wrestling around when it happened.]]
66	* ObliviousToLove: Roni and Matty. It took them until ''Matty asked Roni out and Roni said yes'' to realize they liked each other. And even then neither had been exactly subtle about their feelings.
67	* RealMenWearPink: A lot of the boys had to wear pink to the prom to match their dates. No one complained.
68	* RedOniBlueOni: Natalie is the red to Roni's blue, Brendon is the blue to Matty's red, Katelyn is the blue to Elise's red, and Becca is the red to Brielle's blue.
