Avatar Adventures: Difference between revisions

One of the interesting things about the AA, as it is known, is that players control the character depicted in their forum avatar as their main player character. If this avatar happens to be a pre-existing fictional character, the player may control them as such, whereas if it's an original character the player may choose abilities to bestow upon them from their own imagination. Due to the fact that roughly half the characters are already well-known in popular culture, the AA doesn't require character sheets. Character control happens a lot, so in a way it's more like a story told by numerous people than a traditional RP.

** This is essentially assumed of any fictional character that pops into the RP.

* [[All Just a Dream]]: Phil's intro to the 1st restart has him waking up in a hospital from a coma-induced dream once the 1st universe was destroyed.

"Your brain must've been active the whole time. It was probably just one long dream." The nurse says. }}

* [[And I Must Scream]]: {{spoiler|At the start of the current timeline, Sam G decided he wanted a new main character. The only problem was, his current character (Death the Kid) was immortal, so [[Dropped a Bridge on Him|killing him off]] wasn't exactly easy. In the end, Sam decided to finish off one of his oldest and most beloved RP characters by [[Fate Worse Than Death|sealing him at the end of the second AA universe where he was doomed to experience the end of time and be removed from existence completely]].}} Sam claims to have actually [[Tear Jerker|shed a tear]] [[My God, What Have I Done?|having done this]].

** And more recently, {{spoiler|Death}}, {{spoiler|Livingness}} and {{spoiler|Sam}}

** Livingness the Youth's power is actually the ability to raise the dead; inverted to ridiculous extents during the Oblivion Arc when {{spoiler|the immortal Carmine kills everyone except Death the Kid (also immortal) and Livingness, who repeatedly restores his dead friends, only for Carmine to kill them again. And again. And again.}}

** {{spoiler|Severin}} during the Tiberius Invasion Arc

* [[Bag of Holding]]: Sam G's Subspace Bag, a satchel of infinite depth. He once defeated a mook by [[Improvised Weapon|tripping him over and]] [[Bottomless Pit|knocking him into the bag, causing him to]] [[And I Must Scream|fall for all eternity]].

* [[BFS]]: Xandus has a thing for claymores

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Grimm

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Sam is revealed to keep a trampoline, a nuclear device and a [[Mika]] CD in his Subspace Bag.

* [[Drinking Game]]: If the heroes aren't saving the world from evil, then they're usually at a bar of some sort, drinking in copious amounts.

* [[Everything's Better with Chickens]]: Mage chickens, to be precise. Zepren's character: Glenrath the mage chicken, to be even more precise.

* [[Five-Man Band]]: Subverted in that [[Loads and Loads of Characters|there are never less than six characters on the team]]. Sam, very early on in the third timeline, [[Genre Savvy|actually had a conversation with Ram about this]], and assigned roles to each of the members of the team at present:

** [[The Dragon]]: Xandus, Severin

** [[The Brute]]: Ganon(dorf), Bruiser

** [[Team Pet]]: Metalseadramon, Rainbow Dash

* [[Friendly Enemy]]: Death the Kid and Xandus are on good terms; Death came to Xandus's birthday party once, and described him as his "Beeeest fwiend" when interrogated by [[World of Warcraft|Arthas the Lich King]].

* [[It's Raining Men]]: When Slouch first appeared, he fell from the sky seemingly out of nowhere. When the AA was restarted, this happened again (albeit with somewhat of an explanation).

** Actually happens fairly frequently; Once an entire band of main characters was [[Punched Across the Room|punched all the way from New Mexico to London in a single hit]]. Death managed to [[Delaying The Inevitable|avoid plummeting to the ground for quite a while]] by simply [[Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy|forgetting to fall.]]

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: leet_x1337 practically qualifies for this all on his own.

* [[Nebulous Evil Organisation]]: D.L.A.

* [[No Fourth Wall]]: Characters frequently mention the RP and the people controlling it. Given that Sam G is an [[Author Avatar]], this trope is pretty much enforced.

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Slouch, who doesn't usually swear (in fact, only when briefly controlled by another user) pulled this off with aplomb.

* Punch Clock Villain: Booster Gold, Who works for Ganondorf but its just his job.

* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: The Elemental Dragons

* [[Rainbow Speak]]: All divine beings talk in coloured text, including the Soul Edge, Carmine, and powerful dragons.

* [[Story Arc]]: The AA's story is a series of story arcs. I don't know all of them, but I do know the ones that have happened since I joined:

** Ireland Arc (from the death of John Wilkes Booth and appearance of Darth Timewave Zero)

** League of Evil Arc (from the forming of the Sith to the battle with the CD-i characters)

** Sword of Novgorod and D.L.A. Arc (from the part where Xandus mentions the sword to the Fire Temple at Death Mountain

** Armageddon Arc (from the appearance of the Auditor to the restart of the AA)

** Oblivion Arc (from the reforming of the villains to the battle with Carmine, Beowulf, and Greek heroes)

** Dragon Arc (from the legend of the dragon rider to the attack of the AA fangirls)

** Olympus Arc (from the appearance of Techno Path to the restart of the AA (yet again))

** Underworld Arc (from the undead armies at Arizona to the massive underworld brawl)

** Space Arc (from the abduction of Sam and Sidoh to Sam trapping himself in a pocketwatch)

** Sam In A Pocketwatch Arc (???)

** *Intermission*

** Timeskip (Five Years)

** Tiberius Invasion Arc (Villains and Heroes team up to defend Earth from an extraterrestrial invader)

** [[Alien]] Arc

** M. Bison Took Over Asia, [[Scott Pilgrim|What a dick!]] Arc

* [[Sword of Plot Advancement]]: The Legendary Sword of Novgorod

* [[What Measure Is a Non-Cute?]]: Averted: Slouch is a blobfish; the real-life animal they based the pokemon Gulpin off.[http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd243/cyberlink420/Motivational%20Posters/Blobfish.jpg You really have to see it to comprehend it].
