AlphaOmega's Tropes
You go onto TV Tropes and look up AlphaOmega. Lo and behold... there is a list of tropes...
This is just a project to find the different tropes that are in the game AlphaOmega. It's meant to be silly. If you are watching the game, come join in the fun and name off some of the tropes! If a NPC doesn't have any tropes, add their name and throw them onto the page! if they avert or subvert, tell us why!
Contents
The Game in General
Anyone Can Die - There is just a house rule that means you need to coup de grace Exalts.
Ancient Conspiracy - The Masquerade, the Messengers, the Technocracy and there will be more. It is the World of Darkness we are talking about!
Pillar of Light - The characters' animas.
Personality Powers - The characters' animas again, but now in the Umbra.
Crowning Moment of Awesome - The whole damn game. And no, the person writing this (one of the players) is not being modest.
Celestial Bureaucracy - It's pretty decayed in the Seventh Age, but it still exists.
Readings Are Off the Scale! - It has been said by several people that Exalts are pretty much insane beacons of power.
Beyond the Impossible - Need I remind you that this is Exalted?
Unobtainium - Not quite yet. But the jade artifacts wielded by Wu Jian Chang and Ling Sui Mae do count. Sorta.
Alternate Continuity - This game changes at the moment of the Great Prophecy. The Sidereals try helping the Solars sort things out. Things didn't turn out so well.
Two Multiple Lines No Waiting - Which slows down game sometimes, but adds to the suspense.
Chapter One
Exposition Party - The wolves at the Red Mountain Caern.
Everyone Meets Everyone In An Inn Casino
Chapter Two
Zombie Apocalypse - Caused by The Virus
The End Of the World As We Know It - The characters are marked as terrorists, Las Vegas is pretty much in ruins, and the players broke a hole though the veil of the Spirit World. And it's only the second chapter.
The Calvalry - Xander
Xanatos Sucker - The PCs ripping open the Gauntlet, just as Todd had planned.
End of An Age and Dawn of An Era - Cassidy's prophecy here.
PCs
Darius
Hitman With A Heart - More of a code since...
Anti Hero He IS compassion 1.
Over Nine Thousand - See here, and I quote: 'a Reality Deviant with a primal force body-mass ratio of over 9.2.'
Drowning My Sorrows - He has an addiction to alcohol.
Black Sheep - Ex-military from a family of army. Awkward.
Cassidy
Femme Fatale - Subverted. Plays the part, but is a virgin who has never drank or smoked or done drugs.
Magic Music and The Power of Rock - Two words: Performance charms.
Beware the Nice Ones - All because she really is a wholesome girl at heart doesn't mean she isn't someone who can push someone else to suicide. And has.
Blood Splattered Innocent - Subverted in that the 'Innocent' isn't too traumatized by having the blood of a werewolf who is part of her Calvary get splattered on her face by her Lunar mate.
Made of Iron Adamant - Cassidy's defense is Resistance charms.
The Unfavorite - Parents preferred little brother.
Gabriel
Psychologist Teacher
Heroic Sacrifice - Also a Crowning Moment of Awesome as Gabriel tried bringing down the Technocratic Satellite on Troile.
Louis Cypher - Subverted. Gabe knows Nick is the Morning Star in a human form. Nick doesn't.
Badass Bookworm - A science teacher who can kick your ass with a Corona bottle. Enough said.
Liz
Le Parkour - The very core of her concept.
Action Girl
Genki Girl
Truth Serum - In Anima Immersion, no one can lie in front of the Scales of Justice.
John Palmer
Magnificent Bastard - Yeah. Just....yeah.
Either Anti Hero or an AntiVillain - Depends on who you're asking.
Too Clever By Half
Robert
Knight in Shining Fuzzy Shining Armor
More Than Mind Control - Solar Bond's a bitch when it puts you to MDV 0.
Vomiting Cop - '"Rob is valiently fighting his urge to vomit. The moon goddess's chosen warrior he may be, but a seasoned warrior he is not."'
Jian
Let's Get Dangerous
Elemental Embodiment - Air Aspect.
Upgrade Artifact - Not quite a subversion, Johnny was quite skilled before he got the jade breastplate and Chakram. It's simply that Magical jade is a Dragonbloods best friend.
Honor Before Reason - Definitely during Anima Immersion.
The Dutiful Son - He IS still getting married to Sui Mae and finally got his father's pride...
Sui Mae
Small Girl, Big Gun FLAMING SWORD
Chinese Girl
Elemental Embodiment and Playing with Fire - Fire Aspect.
NPCs
Todd Brown
Driven to Suicide - By one of the player characters. Opps.
Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him? - Subverted. He shot the PC who helped drive him to suicide. She just had a perfect defense.
My Death Is Just The Beginning - It can be said for all Abyssals, really...
The Technocracy
Techno Babble - The Essence Polarity Converter
Men in Black - They have a damn Convention by that name!
The Matrix
Colony Drop - The Technocratic Satellite.
Troile
Stringy Haired Ghost Girl - When she came out of the TV at Gabe.
A God Am I - Well, all of the vampires and anyone she mind-controls thinks so...
Xanatos Speed Chess - Well, she didn't expect her new ghoul to blow up a Construct on her, or that the three Exalts would turn up when she needed to feed...
Big Bad - If you need this one explained, you haven't been reading the game.
The Caligula - What will probably happen if she isn't stopped...
The Demon Emperor
Cool Sword - What is he impaled on.
Big Bad - To Jian and Sui Mae especially.
The Shattered Sun
Large Ham - Lucifer
Dynamic Entry - Lucifer. By dropkicking an angel. In the face.
Sealed Evil In A Can - Well, not exactly sealed anymore...
Maleficent Fate
Mister Exposition - In mutliple blasted chapters!
Training Imbuing the Peaceful Villagers - Cassidy only inspired them, he gave the power.
Hate
That One Boss - He is an Abyssal Akuma version of Sam FUCKING Haight. ENOUGH SAID.
