Fusiverse is a Play-by-post Roleplay hosted on the TV Tropes forums by RapidFirestormer. It takes elements from various fictional universes and has them crossover into one big Fantasy Kitchen Sink superhero setting... but with a twist. Much like the Amalgam Universe, the elements of these universes are all combined, resulting in a world filled entirely with characters and groups that are combinations of two or more elements from the various works that make it up.
As for the plot, it focuses on the Bud Nippers, a task force of the Justice Association dedicated to stopping threats that have slipped under the radar before they become significant problems. The first arc sees them going to Synthe City to investigate the plans of the local Eight Passions of Death Port Mafia.
The RP is currently ongoing and can be found here
. Signups are also still open, and can be found here.
This RPG contains the following tropes:
- A Simple Plan: The Bud Nippers attempt to simply wait for "Greasy-Eyed" Luca to attempt to sell a Power Arrowhead so they can swoop in and apprehend him once they know he has what they're after, and decide to move in when he and the buyer, Aleksei Holden, are distracted by unrelated parties attacking them. It works... up until Aleksei uses the Power Arrowhead and becomes far stronger than he was before, requiring far more effort from the Bud Nippers to deal with him.
- Composite Character: Because of the RP's premise, every single character is a combination of two or three existing characters.
- Crossover-Exclusive Villain: Inverted. The protagonists' team, the Bud Nippers, isn't based on any existing group so the components of the player characters on the team could come from any work..
- Fictional Province: The location of the first arc is Synthe City, a fictional city in New York state that borders a body of water.
- Fusion Fic: The main premise behind the RP. It's a crossover of many fictional works and mashes them all together.
- The Mafia: The villains of the first arc are the members of the Eight Passions of Death Port Mafia, a criminal group operating out of Synthe City.
- Massive Multiplayer Crossover: The components of the various fusions come from The DCU, One-Punch Man, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, My Hero Academia, and Bungo Stray Dogs... and these ware just the ones listed on the initial sign up post. Thanks to player additions, the count has gone up into dozens of different series.
- Meaningful Name: The Bud Nippers were created to investigate villain activity that went under the radar of the rest of the Justice Association and prevent them from becoming major threats. In other words, they nip problems in the bud.
- While the name of the Eight Passions is a combination of the English translations for Passione and the Shie Hassaikai, said combination is it's own concept; the Orthodox Church's version of the Seven Deadly Sins.
- Power Crystal: The superpower-granting Power Arrowheads are gold crystals.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: The team the main characters are on, the Bud Nippers, has its members comprised of widely-varying, eccentric individuals.
- Shout-Out: Before attempting to blast Rhino Strangle pointblank in the mouth, Kenta asks the villain if he "wants to know what death tastes like".
- Super-Empowering: The Eight Passions come to the attention of the Bud Nippers due to their sale of Power Arrowheads, which are able to grant people superpowers simply by pricking themselves with them.
- Super Team: The Justice Association that the Bud Nippers are a part of is a sprawling organization that aims to protect the world from the many extra-ordinary threats. It is divided into multiple divisions that specialize in countering specific threats that also fall under this trope.
