Line #13 YMMV/RideAloneComplex


1	Because epic TV Tropes nitpick means we gotta make more compartments for certain tropes of ''Roleplay/RideAloneComplex'', listed below:
2	----
3	[[WMG:In General]]
4	* GameBreaker: Aelita and Wyll in the Pink Lemonade flashbacks (and in Hardboiled Pink Lemonade), being [[GeniusBruiser Genius]] {{Lightning Bruiser}}s wielding two Rider Gears that can, between them, theoretically emulate any OTHER Rider Gear in existence (if not also improve upon their own tricks).
5	** Kenoko's MidseasonUpgrade into [[OriginalGeneration Kamen Rider Calibur]], [[TookALevelInBadass making up for]] [[TraumaCongaLine the beatings she was given]] [[DeusAngstMachina in KRV.]]
6	* IdiosyncraticShipNaming:
7	** [=FangOreo=] (Haruka/Yukari/Kaoru with options on Royce) is back in full force.
8	** Pink Lemonade (Aelita/Wyll) gets teased more intensely and intentionally than it ever was in KRV or on [=uTOHpia=] - ironic in that Haken's primary beef with ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' is that the {{UST}} between Ulrich and Yumi detracted from Aelita's plot being given its day in the limelight.
9	** [=LionHill=] has been coined somehow for Kenoko and Rebecca, expanding into [=KenokOreo=] when Haruka sticks around for observation purposes.
10	*** And now [=KenokOreo=] is for Kenoko/ANYONE, given the amount of people that like her that way.
11	** Den-Oreo (Kirihiko/Chiyoko/Gally/Ana) has been namedropped on at least one occasion, albeit as [[MythologyGag a KRV artifact]].
12	* MemeticMutation: Axel has [[NeverLiveItDown Narcissistic Personality Disorder]]. ([[HypocriticalHumor Doesn't help his case that HE'S the one making the effort to propagate the meme.]])
13	** [[DontExplainTheJoke That's the joke!]]
14	** {{Website/Botchamania}} 161's Codec Call ending has rapidly spiraled into a virulent snowclone of jabs at TheReveal (in general) and several reveals in particular:
15	---> '''From the main page:''' [[spoiler:[Tenpai]'s WYLL, AUSTIN! IT WAS WYLL ALL ALONG, AUSTIN!]]
16	** Music/TheProtomen get their due both in and out of character, from Haruka [[RageQuit walking out of KRV]] [[http://ridealonecomplex.pbworks.com/Omake%3A-Haruka%27s-Last-Stand to the tune of]] ''The Stand'' to Ace and Sieg's take on the timeline split cementing ''The Hounds'' as RAC's theme of diplomatic tone with KRV. (Fake spoilers: Haken is Wily in that regard.)
17	* PerverseSexualLust: The authors make no bones about their attractions to each other's characters:
18	--> '''Haken:''' Berserker Yukari continues to warm my heart, I dunno why.
19	--> '''Raven:''' That's probably the masochism wanting you to be ravaged by her. And for god's sake fix the dakimakura.
20	** Averted by Axel and Raven... [[RedOniBlueOni For once]].
21	* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: For several metrics of improvement, ranging from using the ''TabletopGame/MutantsAndMasterminds'' rules at arm's length to interspersing combat sessions more fluently and equally between the cast members.
22	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Various dips into several characters' pasts show us a few things that might have happened had Axel [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor not gotten himself]] PutOnABus (Or in the case of the Pink Lemonade sub-arc, even in spite of that).
23	** [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu Better a prince in hell]] [[RageAgainstTheAuthor than a slave in heaven.]]
24
25	[[WMG:The Main Work]]
26	* CharacterRerailment: Kenoko and Akebara had previously been repossessed in their [[Roleplay/KamenRiderHourOfTheVoid debut]] [[Roleplay/SuperRobotWarsG games]] following Axel's {{Role Ending Misdemeanor}}s, and are reprised here in their OriginalFlavor (as original as it gets when accounting for sixty years of bitterness and/or a wholesale translation out of an SRW setting).
27	* OneTruePairing: Considering there aren't too many "pairings" out there, the clear breakaway is Becca and Kenoko. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Or as Haruka so succinctly puts it in OOC]]:
28	--> '''[[Webcomic/{{Hiimdaisy}} Peachi!Haruka]]:''' [[TransparentCloset THOU ART THEE ART THOU]] [[IntimatePsychotherapy STICK YOUR HAND IN BECCA'S VAGOO]] [[WillTheyOrWontThey DO IT DO IT DO IT]]
29	* {{Squick}}: Kaoru pulling a practical joke on Rebecca that makes it appear that she's attempting to elicit sex from her subordinate in her place of business.
30	*** Answer: self-UnPerson'ing due to her [[SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining taking many, many levels]] in FemmeFatale.
31	** ''Holy crap '''Haruka''' what's wrong with you.''
32	*** Answer: Is sick and tired of these motherfucking Fangires threatening her motherfucking family - possibly even just as much with having her hands tied when it comes to dealing with them. (Also maybe [[http://ridealonecomplex.pbworks.com/I-Don%27t-Need-Your-Rider-War using venting about it]] as the contract vector for a long-discarded Dark Diend or Proto-Diend or whatever.)
33	** ''Holy crap Yukari what's wrong with you.''
34	*** Answer: Has been alternating between living fear of and being sick/tired of Fangires threatening her family. The fact that she managed to break free of Inoue's control, got him killed, reformed her original personality, and created a method for Fangires and humans to live in peace makes her Heretic Number One in hardliner eyes. And her hands have been tied even tighter than Haruka's on this.
35
36	[[WMG:Hardboiled Pink Lemonade]]
37	* TearJerker: Aelita's surprisingly poignant phone-tag message to Haruka. [[InvokedTrope Invoked semi-intentionally]]: Haken started misting up halfway through typing it, and Axel just plain broke down when he got the chance to read it.
38
39	[[WMG:[=uTOHpia=]]]
40	* GameBreaker: The majority of the splat's houserules, which have, in multiple test cases, resulted in Devices spitting out [=PL15=] to [=PL20=]-tier (or even more overspecced) powers for characters created within the [=PL10=]-to-[=PL15=] range. Examples to be linked as the Fog of War lifts, considering many are KRV and/or RAC spoilers.
41	** Of course, this could just be RefugeInAudacity, knowing these guys.
