- The Shades are kicked out of the stable bubble into the Plane of Incarnum proper, and dissolve there, gone for good.
Threeshades said he was making a comic over a week ago, but we've heard nothing else from her. And as I've heard nothing from Salmon, who's up for deciding what his talisman does?

Meaningful Name: Mostly played for laughs, but Threeshades and some others play the trope straight on occassion
Mary Sue/
Marty Stu: ABr has long list of ridiculously skilled characters who apply well to these tropes
Implacable Man: Abr has long list of implacable men and women, but to the top tier rise Randomizer and Threeshades
Joke Item:Some characters have used truly laughable items as weapons in long and glorious history of ABR. These include eggs, soda, sticks, stones, heads and other body parts... the list goes on
Losing Your Head: Several characters have survived decapitation with only mild annoyance, and ABR boasts entire race with ability for such
Off With His Head:Decapitation seems to be in style in ABR
Added all these to the page.

Joke item indeed. :smallamused: I believe I hit someone with a cat. Does that not deserve mention? Especially since the cat was a PC? Hehehe...

That's because you're a newb your character hasn't been here for too long. Because of that, your character is undeveloped. I for one know NOTHING about your character except he can intimidate robots and he wears red.

Point taken. And it wasnt a robot, it was guy in a robot suit.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XX: Because WAAAAGH isnt good enough.
Yeah, I don't have any tropes either, and I've been around longer than you. I plan on fixing this.
Also, here's some more tropes:
Dead Little Sister: Many characters in Avatar Battle Royale have lost someone dear to them, generally in insignificant backstory.
Darker and Edgier: Future Imperfect, the sequel to Fat Fish Fury, is a much more cynical story than its predecessor.
Grumpy Bear: Many people, such as Nilmerg Eht and The Q, tend to be moody, cynical, and irritable, and almost everybody in Future Imperfect is.
Ineffectual Loner: Pretty much everyone in Future Imperfect is a loner to some degree. Most notably Lyinginbedmon.
Fallen Hero: Nilmerg Eht is probably the most notable Fallen Hero.
Dark and Troubled Past: Pretty much anybody from the many from Arcania.
Antihero: In Future Imperfect, almost everybody is an Antihero to some extent.
Hero with bad Publicity: Ins has turned everyone against the 'heroes'.
Villain with Good Publicity: Ins is believed to be the 'savior' of Avbaroy.
The Atoner: Threeshades and Nilmerg Eht both fill this role well.

April 28...
The Day ABR Stopped.

ABR stopped and died a long time ago.
BTW, cool new avatar :biggrin:

I drew it for no reason and loved it so much I decided to brag about it.
EDIT: It also clears up the "does he wear pants?" issue.
He does, but doesn't tuck his valet shirt in so you don't see it.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XX: Because WAAAAGH isnt good enough.
New tropes again :smallbiggrin:
BFS:: Used by many, many characters. To mind rise Jason Doomblade, Almighty Salmon (Well, he has used a knife bigger than himself), Mecha-Nightwing and Eita
Bottomless Magazines:Named characters never run out of ammo unless it is determined by plot, unless they are using something that absolutely needs a reload after each use.
BFG:These have made numerous appereances, amongst the worst offenders being chainguns, missile launchers and lazers
Big Lipped Alligator Moment: Tea parties in middle of fights to the death. Don't ask.
Bizarre And Improbable Ballistics: Don't even ask how some of the shots made in ABR are possible. Just go with Rule of Cool.
Character Customization:every character in the story,naturally
Good Scars Evil Scars:Many characters sport scars even in FFF, even more will do so in FI
Nuke 'Em:The arcanian Jovocian missile technology: bringing nuclear warheads to the small nation near you.
Ninja:Used to certain degree, but still not overdone
Revenge:Whole ABR is full of revenge-inspired subplots, and sometimes even main plots
Rule of Cool:All over the place
Kill Sat:There is one right in the orbit of the planet
Hell:The setting has Baator, in which some characters have visited along the course of the story
Hidden Elf Village:Sharnin
One Winged Angel:Threeshades has this as standard power after certain point of the story
Winged Humanoid: ABR has it's share of winged people. Notable examples include Threeshades, Eita, Calamity and Fayte

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XX: Because WAAAAGH isnt good enough.
I have way to many characters in FI:smallsigh:, I think I'll just stick with Argonath and Flayon and save the rest.

The new panel by Q has a lot of blue.....almost too much blue...
and is it too late to join this ABR? I have some ideas.

Really? Is there a set in stone ground-to-wall ratio? :smallannoyed:
Anyway, sure. Join ABR. There's nothing stopping you. FFF is wrapping up though, so you may want to wait until the sequel.

You should probably lower the saturation if you're gonna keep that blue for the floors. It's pretty bright.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XX: Because WAAAAGH isnt good enough.
blue robes + blue floor of a similar color = painful.

If you lied well enough, they'd believe you had permission from Lying to set up the party, but they'll still step in if it gets too rowdy or bad things start happening.

Dang. And here I was going to use the party as an excuse to bring up Q's cocaine problem. :smallfrown::smallbiggrin:
Hypothetically, what would they do IF it did got too rowdy?
-
Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XX: Because WAAAAGH isnt good enough.
Well if it gets rowdy, I remind you there's upwards of 200 Seen Servants, all of whom have the capacity to at least pick up a crossbow, and four of which are significantly powerful to keep the Citadel and all it's equipment safe and running in a desert for months at a time.
Ie. They'll ever detain you or throw you out. Killing isn't usually something they do without Lying's order.

The Journey Home is pretty much a free-for all with not too much planning in advance that allows pretty much anything. (different dimensions mean there are no restrictions on charecters or settings :smallwink:) That means there is a good chance your ideas will be implemented. :smallbiggrin: I say go for it!
-
Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XX: Because WAAAAGH isnt good enough.
Tropes, tropes. They just never run out :smalltongue:
After the End: FFF's sequel, FI, takes place when most of the world is under the control of bad guys
Back From the Dead:Many characters in ABR have made comeback from the dead
Chess With Death:Parodied often with resident Grim Reaper, Nameless, who also happens to be Cloudcuckoolander
Stuff Blowing Up:And how!
Earth Shattering Kaboom:Explosive apocalypse from the sky, spell designed just for the effect, can pretty much wipe out civilizations

It's actually parallel universes, not dimensions. If you really meant dimensions that would mean we could have 4 dimensional characters.
