    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?

    Losing Your Head: Several characters have survived decapitation with only mild annoyance, and ABR boasts entire race with ability for such

    Joke item indeed. 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.

    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.

    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.

    New tropes again

    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

    Really? Is there a set in stone ground-to-wall ratio?

    Anyway, sure. Join ABR. There's nothing stopping you. FFF is wrapping up though, so you may want to wait until the sequel.

    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.

    Hypothetically, what would they do IF it did got too rowdy?

    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 ) That means there is a good chance your ideas will be implemented. I say go for it!

    Tropes, tropes. They just never run out

    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
