11	Lost and Found of the Multiverse is a freeform roleplay on the Website/Bay12 Forums, that centers around a realm called the Lost and Found, a place where all things that vanish from various realities end up. [[SarcasmMode Several people]] from all over fiction and reality, or even original characters, end up in here and have to band together to survive. From here, they bumble into various adventures, ranging from exploring ruined cities to fighting off invasions.

13	The thread can be found [[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=118286.0 here]], and the character thread [[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=117796.0 here]].
14
15	Sadly, the roleplay has ended owing to ridiculous use of metagaming and personal reasons for the GM, but there is currently a third version in the works.

19
20	%%* AboveGoodAndEvil: Albrecht describes himself to be this.
21	%%* Action Girl: All of them, Maria and Ariana in particular.
22	* AerithAndBob: Inevitable due to the various universes crossed over. Names like Albrecht and Medea are found alongside names like Richard and Nathan.
23	%%* AffablyEvil: Albrecht is this before [[spoiler: his HeelFaceTurn]].
24	%%* AlwaysABiggerFish: [[spoiler:Shadow Richard]] is subjected to this by [[spoiler:Noxus]].
25	%%* AlwaysAccurateAttack: Any attack used with Alith's Aim ability, or Mara's Snipe. Otherwise, generally averted.
26	%%* {{Ambadassador}}: Albrecht.
27	* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Marie is one for nightmares.
28	** During the adventure in Allie's mind, the abominations that wandered around were of bad childhood memories.
29	%%* AntiHero: Adrian.
30	* AntiVillain: Albrecht, before [[spoiler:his HeelFaceTurn.]] Noxus attempts to appear as this, but goes berserk when the party refuses to [[spoiler: hand over Richard.]]
31	%%* {{Archenemy}}: Noxus is this to the ENTIRE party, and Harbinger. Harbinger is this to Noxus.
32	* AscendedExtra: Harbinger was only a minor NPC who acted to keep the group out of the forest when fighting Shadows. Then, it is revealed that [[spoiler:he has unspecified history with Noxus, the FinalBoss of the shadow realm.]] After that, he becomes a temporary party member, staying to help protect the Lazarus against the impending invasion.
33	%%* ArcNumber: 4784 7847847 84784784
34	%%* TheAtoner: Alith has this as his backstory. Also, Jacke and [[spoiler:Albrecht]].

36	%%* BadassArmy: The Lost and the Damned.
37	%%* BadassAdorable: Medea, Mara, Camille, and Marie.

44	%%* BewareTheNiceOnes: EVERYONE except for Kwykathen and Adrian.
45	* BewareTheSillyOnes: Gaston and Alith are both jokers who love kidding around, albeit in different ways. They are also trained fighters; Gaston is a swordmage, and Alith is a very skilled archer. Marie also counts, being a jokesy nightmare who blasts things apart with a NUKE, among other things.
46	%%* BigDamnHeroes: Harbinger, repeatedly.
47	* BilingualBonus: The Lazarus's flags contain the number 308. The way Hebrew numbers are written (letters stand in for numbers), the name Lazarus adds up to 308.
48	** 'Schwarzschild in German means 'black shield'. Guess what emblem Albrecht's messenger hawks had.
49	%%* BigBad: [[spoiler:Noxus.]]
50	%%* BloodKnight: Kwykathen, Phyliss, Clyde, and Angerus.
51	* BreakTheCutie:[[spoiler: Mara comes pre-broken, courtesy of Clyde murdering all of her kin, despite warnings by Albrecht to stay back.]]

56	* ChekhovsGunman:[[spoiler: Harbinger started out as an unnamed prescence in the forest, before coming to help the party kill Noxus.]]
57	* Myth/ClassicalMythology: Medea and her Persona, Jason. Richard studies this.
58	%%* CloudCuckoolander: Probably around a quarter of the cast could qualify.
59	* CombinationAttack: Richard and Maria have some using their Personas, and Richard can execute them alone, using his Personas.
60	%%* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Richard and Alith.
61	%%* CulturedBadass: Gaston and Albrecht.
62	%%* DeadpanSnarker: Alith used to be this, before becoming a rabid ShipperOnDeck. Richard has shades of this.
63	* ElementalPowers:
64	** Richard has AllYourPowersCombined, and his Persona, Ixion, is ShockAndAwe.
65	** Maria has MakingASplash and PlayingWithFire.
66	** Newcomer Mikhail is PlayingWithFire.
67	** Phyliss, being an elemental, has PlayingWithFire and a bit of DishingOutDirt, as evidenced by turning into MAGMA.
68	*** Among some of her other ghosts, 'Tanuki' can LightEmUp and Isabella is ExtraOreDinary. The briefly-seen Tundra was AnIcePerson.
69	** Allie is ShockAndAwe.
70	%%* ElementalEmbodiment: Phyliss is one, in addition to being a ghost. We're not quite sure how.
71	%%* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Robert.
72	* EnergyWeapon: Quite popular for the sci-fi types. Adrian had them first, then Camille copied them and added magical effects through weird lenses. Then she put giant ones on the Lazarus.
73	%%* FearlessUndead: Isabella. Though to be fair, she was probably pretty fearless in life, too.
74	%%* {{Foreshadowing}}: LOADS, especially in the current adventure.
75	%%* {{Geas}}: Albrecht's Geass is similar. Also, the mesmer used by Bonnie and Clyde.
76	%%* GeniusBruiser: Harbinger, Gaston, Ori, and Maria.
77	* GeodesicCast: How Twi is SUPPOSED to cut back on how many characters he uses at once. He's not all that reliable about it, though.
78	* GoodIsNotNice: Adrian is a {{Jerkass}} to Richard, and is generally unpleasant to most of the group except Sona. Kwykathen is the TokenEvilTeammate and a BloodKnight. Phyliss is very close to being an OmnicidalManiac.
79	%%* GuileHero: Alith is this in backstory, and currently, [[spoiler:Albrecht]].
80	%%* GuestStarPartyMember: Harbinger, Mara, and [[spoiler: after their escape, Albrecht, Medea, Robert, and Lysander.]]
81	* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Gaston undergoes this after Robert is revealed to have been Geassed. Mara undergoes this after being dug out of the pile of dead catpeople, and Camille undergoes this after having accidentally treated Maria like a toy]].
82	%%* HumongousMecha: The Knightmare Frames and the Lazarus to an extent. Trebuchet's Guardian Form can also turn into one.
83	* HopelessBossFight: The party fighting the [[VideoGame/Persona3 Reaper]]. Also, initially,[[spoiler: the party against Noxus until Harbinger intervenes and weakens him]].
84	%%* InformedAbility: Alith being a good archer.
85	* InsistentTerminology: They're the Lost and the Damned, NOT the Ghost Brigade or anything like that.
86	* InSeriesNickname: Plenty.
87	** Maria called Kywkathen 'Katherine' for a while.
88	** The demonblood Braugerin, aside from being shortened to Braug, had to deal with Marie, who decided his name was von Braun.
89	** Orichalcum is long. Ori is shorter.
90	* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: The murder of the catperson army.]]
91	** [[spoiler: The murder of Alith's best friend in backstory.]]
92	** [[spoiler: Robert betraying the team after having been found out to be mind controlled.]]
93	** [[spoiler: The fact that Clyde wants to kill the kittens AGAIN by hurling more cats through veils to become sentient so he can kill them.]]
94	** In fact, the antagonists just love to kick dogs all over the place.
95	** The verbal beating Adrian gave to Richard, about being undeserving of his powers, also counts, to a lesser extent.
96	%%* LargeHam: Gaston, Noxus, Allie, sometimes Camille, the Hybrid..
97	* LethalChef: Sona. She uses DIRT in her recipes.
98	* LivingStatue: '''The Fortified Orichalcum Sonata of Ages!''' ...Or just Orichalcum. She was originally a simple landmark, not alive at all.
99	* LittleBitBeastly: Sapphira is a kitsune, Camille, Mara and Nicole are {{Cat Girl}}s.
100	%%* {{Magitek}}: Sapphira.
101	* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: The game is based around this. The fictions and properties featured in any major capacity so far have been:
102	** Literature/ArtemisFowl
103	** VideoGame/{{Bastion}}
104	** VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}
105	** Franchise/CodeGeass
106	** Literature/CodexAlera
107	** VideoGame/DarkSouls
108	** TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons
109	** TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}
110	** Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}
111	** Franchise/{{Persona}}
112	** Franchise/{{Pokemon}}
113	** VideoGame/{{Terraria}}
114	** Franchise/TouhouProject
115	** Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos
116	** TabletopGame/Warhammer40000
117	** There have also been {{Shout Out}}s to the Franchise/StargateVerse, ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'', ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}''... the list goes on. This list doesn't count the various original universes used.
118	%%* MonsterOfTheWeek: The Arcana Shadow battles.
119	%%* MonsterKnight: Isabella Cattleya Flora. Full stop.
120	%%* NightmareFetishist: Marie.
121	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The Lost and the Damned.
122	** Harbinger, the crow mage. It gets worse depending on the translation: one possible translation from nightcrow language is Harbinger-of-the-night-and-bringer-of-crows. He finds it pretentious.
123	** The Burning Crow.
124	** Andras the Wrathful Demon, Forneus the Sea Monster and Yomotsu-Shikome the Underworld Hag.
125	** The Second Hybrid's (As of yet unrevealed) Chosen name is supposed to try and be this.
126	* OmnicidalManiac: Phyliss would be this if it weren't for the rest of the Lost and the Damned.
127	* OneSteveLimit: Averted: There are two Isabellas. Both are humanoid dragons. One is red, dresses like a sailor, and packs some hefty [[RevolversAreJustBetter revolvers]], the other is dead, shapeshifts, and has a serious case of being a hero. And is [[ChromeChampion made of steel]].
128	** Marie once tried to copy the latter and ended up in the former's form instead. She rolled with it, though.
129	* OverlyLongName: '''The Fortified Orichalcum Sonata of Ages.''' Unsurprisingly, she just goes with Orichalcum.
130	** Harbinger has one depending on how his [[SpellMyNameWithAnS name is translated from nightcrow language..]]
131	** Again, the Second Hybrid's Self-chosen and not yet revealed title.
132	%%* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Phyliss and the Lost and the Damned.
133	* PetTheDog: Albrecht does this by [[spoiler:taking Lysander, an innocent teen Franchise/{{Pokemon}} trainer captured by the antagonists, and Robert with him during his escape. He also does this by giving Medea a morality chip]]. The Burning Crow, an early NPC, does this [[spoiler:by sacrificing himself for his daughter, Nenikii.]]
134	* ThePowerOfFriendship: Richard invokes this by having to have Social Links to gain Personas.
135	%%* RedEyesTakeWarning: Warper and Sola!Marie. Harbinger as well.
136	%%* RedOniBlueOni: Alith and Gaston.
137	* RevolversAreJustBetter: Camille's sidearm is a pepperbox revolver (every chamber is a barrel) with a clockwork autoloader and alpha-strike capability. Somewhat averted, as it hasn't been that useful in combat, but it's still bloody cool.
138	** James Reyes is also quite the fan of revolvers.
139	** The other Isabella, for her part, carried FOUR oversized, custom-made revolvers at all times.
140	* RunningGag: Many, many of them.
141	** Phyliss really, really [[Literature/CodexAlera hates crows.]]
142	** Alith loves shipping.
143	** Cats piling on Alith.
144	** Phyliss cursing like a sailor.
145	%%* ScienceHero: Camille and Sapphira.
146	* ShoutOut: Tons and tons and tons. A few examples:
147	** Marie's forms are usually based on various cultural things, if they're not the (unoriginal) characters of her own homeland. Music/{{Vocaloid}}, Franchise/TouhouProject, VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles, and who knows how many other things have thus far received this treatment.mAverted with Marie's latest, entirely home-made forms.
148	** "[[Franchise/StargateVerse CHEVRONS LOADING]]"
149	%%* TheStoner: Bryan.
150	%%* SliceOfLife: When the party isn't off adventuring.
151	%%* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Probably why power levels keep going up.
152	* SummonBiggerFish: Marie attempted to do this against [[HopelessBossFight the Reaper]] via Phyliss's army, but Harbinger got there first.
153	* ThemeNaming: The Knightmare Frames are named after Arthurian characters, Medea's Persona is called Jason, the two fairies are called Bonnie and Clyde...the list goes on.
154	* ThemeTable: OREOSOME has made notes about most of the Nations and Features in Team Chess' Universe, as well as Tara's
155	* {{Troll}}: The Shadow Selves attempt it, but fail due to most of the party being relatively at peace with themselves. Marie IS a troll by nature.
156	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Marie and Alith.
157	** Also Isabella, from her 'little [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsA2 Gria-esque]] girl with a nice sword' form to 'giant eight-foot tall dragon made of steel.'
158	** Cath, sort of. She drinks blood, and then she turns into the person the blood is from.
159	*** Camille once turned this against her, if only because she wanted to tweak her own cat ears or something.
160	%%* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Tisiphone, despite [[spoiler: the occasional threat of using nuclear weapons]], is pretty much this right now.
161	* WhamEpisode: [[spoiler: The catperson army getting murdered by being mesemerized to strangle themselves, and the revelation that another, stronger, bigger group wants in on the Lazarus.]]
162	%%* WhisperingGhosts: The Embers invoke this, along with CreepyChild and PlayingWithFire.
