Of all the realms of the Lower Depths, Abaddon strikes me as the most... different. When I read about it in \\\'\\\'\\\'Inferno\\\'\\\'\\\' and \\\'\\\'\\\'Imperial Mysteries\\\'\\\'\\\', I\\\'m reminded of \\\'\\\'The Divine Comedy\\\'\\\', \\\'\\\'Paradise Lost\\\'\\\', and \\\'\\\'[[http://waynebarlowe.wordpress.com/artwork/hell/ Barlowe’s Inferno]]\\\'\\\'.

BFS/BFG, most of them except for some nanobots... ironically Knife types is notorious on these one as they\\\'re large two handed weapons what are sometimes as big as your player and occasionally have guns attached to them which doubles their role as a BFG...

Swiss Army Weapon, All guns counts as this... they\'re the subclass of Knife after all... (and Knife is not a small knife but a freaking BFS, all of them)

I am a player myself, but being new to tvtropes (I only read the articles, but this is my first time contributing), I\\\'m in need of some veterans in helping me sort things out, I\\\'ll be giving much more information about the game, but I don\\\'t know exactly where each part fits well I start out with this Hypothesis...

Kweelshark probably is the Big Bad, as Luna have said that the Great Demon is just like a child that does random things out of curiosity and necessity, furthermore he\\\'s just a boss in Mission 12 but Kweelshark is the Final boss, and you get to fight him, Twice...

Well I don\\\'t know where this fits, but Ghosts have an instinct called Thanatos which obviously means the instinct that drives them to death, Rapper Rapper even said that the existence of ghosts is actually based on that one, to replay their death, again...

Expy, They\\\'ve got Naruto, Vocaloid, and Final Fantasy costumes at the GKash shop...

Swiss Army Weapon, All guns counts as this... they\\\'re the subclass of Knife after all... (and Knife is not a small knife but a freaking BFS, all of them)

BFS/BFG, most of them except for some nanobots...

Absurdly spacious sewer: aside from entering it through the world map, You\\\'ll come across this several times in the mission, cause it crosses many areas, heck it\\\'s even connected to Ghost Corporation, that you\\\'ll sabotage GC through it... (none of the Black guards ever noticed that one)

Strange names: Rapper Rapper, and Heepah Heepah are the most obvious ones...

Second Childhood: Luna\\\'s father Bishapo, heck you\\\'ll be surprised during the mission you\\\'re sent to rescue the kidnapped Luna
Bishapo: Please take care of my daughter...
Player: What?!?!?!

Mcguffin: The Red Soul tag... Takes time to collect the materials to make it, and it\\\'s only important for protecting you in the Pema region, but it doesn\\\'t give you bonus stats anywhere else...

Awesome and Practical: The Gun\\\'s Howitzer skill. even with its cooldown time, when combined with proper timing between shots and a decent amount of drinks (unless your character and nanobot has a high critical and spirit rating)a player can juggle bosses to unlimited combos staying in the air until they\\\'re dead... it also a good mob control skill, Kweelshark and G are the favorite targets of this skill...

Wall street economy... for all players of any level, high level buying raw materials from the low level ones trying to get the lowest price possible, and low level ones trying to get more money from the high level ones to upgrade their soma...

Crafting: Almost all nanobots are crafted, except those that are sold in the Gkash shop, where the only thing to do is to open the box...

Enhancement: required if you want to survive as its the only way to increase your defense, store bought soma is not enough to protect you...

Of all the realms of the Lower Depths, Abaddon strikes me as the least... \\\"grey.\\\" When I read about it in \\\'\\\'\\\'Inferno\\\'\\\'\\\' and \\\'\\\'\\\'Imperial Mysteries\\\'\\\'\\\', I\\\'m reminded of \\\'\\\'The Divine Comedy\\\'\\\', \\\'\\\'Paradise Lost\\\'\\\', and \\\'\\\'[[http://waynebarlowe.wordpress.com/artwork/hell/ Barlowe’s Inferno]]\\\'\\\'.

Considering the explicit comparisons to Pandemonium, I think it\\\'s possible that Abaddon might have once been an emanation realm that fell from the Supernal due to the machinations of the Ascension War and wedged itself in the space between the Fallen World and the Lower Depths. This would neatly explain away the differences from the place beyond the \\\"Gate of Bones\\\" (home of the \\\'\\\'Intruders\\\'\\\', who are further detailed in \\\'\\\'\\\'Antagonists\\\'\\\'\\\'), the \\\"Thin Place\\\" (the \\\"empty\\\" and \\\"grey void\\\" inhabited by the \\\'\\\'Tutor\\\'\\\'), \\\"... somewhere\\\" (the \\\"horrid worlds that cannot possibly be\\\" inhabited by the \\\'\\\'Decay\\\'\\\'), and the \\\"desolate Sheol\\\" (the \\\"bleak and blasted land\\\" of \\\"bottomless holes and endless tunnels\\\" ruled by the \\\'\\\'Hellminth\\\'\\\').
