Character Development Thread/YMMV


 * All Just a Dream: The events in Heist, According to Prisha in Cantina II.
 * Ass Pull: The Mecha Titan. But Prisha suddenly being zapped backto the safe house was definitely an Ass Pull. Much to Prisha's misfortune. PsychoFreaX the writer of these scenes isn't exactly sane. But since the alternative involved an Eldritch Abomination written by someone who'd consumed unhealthy doses of Death Metal...
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: After Shion's speech about Grimm's wartorn history and Daisuke reminding her of her deceased brother, between Bianca and Shion. Deflated by an insensitive Alice, who completely misreads it, not long after.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: The conversation between posts 954 and 976 for many reasons. Full of snark, misunderstandings and even more Blatant Lies.
 * Giant Space Flea From Nowhere: The Ice Golem from Hotel can be seen as this. Which resulted in starting a rule against this trope.
 * Growing the Beard: In Character Nightclub, which provided an immersive experience in the Moulin Rouge nightclub and provoked the writers to verse out in an adventure after a drive-by shooting. This has also been attempted in Snowflake of Characters with tightened writing standards, to no avail.
 * Castle is the first thread to reach a proper conclusion.
 * Jumping the Shark: Participants would take the opportunity for a quick conflict, and would often result in dragged-out fight scenes which leave the story arc exhausted by the end.
 * Thirty God Mode Sue Pileup: A lot of the Troper characters are quite powerful. So powerful that some of them wouldn't be allowed in most roleplay threads. Only the power balance and how well-written they are keeps them from being kicked out of the thread.
 * Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Sometimes, the thread's more powerful characters get down and dirty with each other. Even though limits are made to prevent killing any of the characters, the result can be quite interesting, like what happened at the end of Castle.
 * Values Dissonance: As different characters from a variety of settings gather in one place, there are, naturally, a lot of cultural clashes.
