Unregistered

"Seriously, your soul-bro always made fun of you for such a ridiculous name for such a boring dude, but now you have kickass superpowers and shit so I guess it kinda fits, haha."

- Leviathan Alexander, portal master.

An original work by Eilios on the Heuxe site, Unregistered is an Evo RP(numerous characters are controlled via a text environment, wherein visitors can directly contribute to the actions of the characters but have no control over the characters themselves) starring three main characters, who are all superpowered people known as "Carriers" in a very video-game inspired world. Carriers must choose whether they want to take the workload and be registered, or succumb to fear and remain Unregistered.

The series is regarded among it's fandom for having an engaging storyline, comedic elements to it as well, exciting action scenes, and just being generally ludicrous in everything it does. Despite being rather short into its Myth Arc, it already has a great deal of Character Development and engaging relationships. The game features a very original battle system for a forum-based text adventure, allowing people to choose their method of attack, and having the characters act in a manner that would be considered applicable to that way. You are also allowed to specify additional things to do in the fight, like "throw rock at head".

The series follows the characters as they discover their abilities and level to higher standards. Very meta, and not the most cleanly written thing out there, but if you're into silly comedies and ridiculous fight scenes, check it out here.

This series provides examples of: 

""Oh, You and What Army?" the one with the shoemarked face replied.
 * Abusive Parents - Ashley's father is not a very nice person.
 * Adults Are Useless - Not exactly, but you sure don't see a lot of parents in this series!
 * Always Someone Better - Despite being very powerful characters for their level, C 1 A 5 makes it very clear that in the cosmic scale of things, the main Trio (and ) are quite weak.
 * And Now for Someone Completely Different - At times, the viewpoint will change. Sometimes it will change to characters you don't even know, however, a rule in the series is that you will only control the main characters directly, even if you change viewpoint to a different character (usually by cutting to another character before the end of the post.)
 * Anti-Villain -.
 * Amplifier Artifact - The  act as a huge power booster, which is absolutely wonderful, except that having one will make you want to collect more, until your entire life becomes a quest for power.
 * Arc Number - 137.
 * Arc Words - "AGGRESSIVE/QUICK/ACCURATE/DEFENSIVE/INSANE". The 5 modes of attack in battle, and almost all fixed commands are assigned to one of the 5.
 * Artifact of Doom - . In series, it's been known to take out entire galaxies,
 * Art Major Physics - The game is run based off Rule of Cool. It's bound to happen - jumping abnormally high is fully possible, to say the least. Portals especially break the laws of physics, especially when you try shenanigans with them to do ridiculous amounts of damage, causing them to glitch the laws of physics themselves.
 * Author Avatar - The narrator, obviously.
 * Awesome By Analysis - Ash, when she fights, due to her lack of raw ability or training. Lance was like this at first, because until Act 2, he wasn't a Carrier. Didn't stop him from beating Carriers, though.
 * Awesome McCoolname - Lance Lenin. Leviathan Alexander. The series, though new, is ripe with them.
 * Badass Adorable - Leviathan is described by Lance as his goofy best friend.
 * Badass Boast - Lance engages in this behaviour quite a bit.
 * Awesome McCoolname - Lance Lenin. Leviathan Alexander. The series, though new, is ripe with them.
 * Badass Adorable - Leviathan is described by Lance as his goofy best friend.
 * Badass Boast - Lance engages in this behaviour quite a bit.

"I'm a motherfuckin' one man army.""

""Maybe you should stop trying to be me and start trying to be you.""
 * Badass Bookworm - Hammer nut Lance Lenin takes all sorts of extra classes, some related to hammers.
 * Badass Cape - In C 1 A 4, Leviathan gets a cape that he puts on. When it was time to take control of, he mentions that he's "dressed for the motherfuckin' occasion."
 * Batman Gambit - Ashley and Lance
 * Big Damn Heroes - Not for the protagonists, though. The
 * Blessed With Suck -
 * Lance
 * Blood Knight - Justified, the world is practically a living video game! Still, there are others who don't like fighting as much.
 * Blow You Away - Lance uses this type of magic.
 * Brilliant but Lazy - Lance takes bonus classes to improve his abilities. Leviathan doesn't.
 * Later on, it shows that Leviathan is a fully capable tactician, and can come up with inventive ways to use his and other people's powers. No explanation is given on why he's not good at school, though. This trope is one theory.
 * Brick Joke - In the very first post, Leviathan mentions that if Lance ever found out about his portal ability, he'd make a wise-crack about finally getting "holes". 105 posts later...
 * Can't Catch Up - Butch thinks this about Lance. Lance thinks otherwise (see You Are Better Than You Think You Are)
 * Calling Your Attacks - Intrinsic quality of most magic.
 * Cool Hammer One after another at Lance's birthday party. One called the Apocalypse Hammer, the other one is called the Steampunk Hammer.
 * Later on, Leviathan asks Ashley to make him a sword. She was ecstatic.
 * Cannot Spit It Out - Early on, Leviathan is struggling with making himself look average so he doesn't get in people's radar as a Registered. When he actually does, though, he decimates a being the size of a house and takes down a powerful sorcerer nearly effortlessly.
 * Cerebus Syndrome - The series is darker than it was at the beginning. The comedy hasn't completely died out, but...
 * Characterization Marches On - In the first 2-3 pages, Lance is a lot less stoic then he usually is.
 * The Chessmaster - The Seer warns that  is this.
 * Class and Level System - The basic, core underlying mechanic to the game. Every person has a class and a level - but Carriers are far more powerful, and have access to far more classes.
 * Cluster F-Bomb - You better believe it. Almost every paragraph.
 * Averted with Ashley, who is such a Nice Girl that, aside from not attempting to fight people, she almost never cusses, and when she does, it's in moments of legitimately high stress. Or snarking.
 * Cliff Hanger - The end of C 1 A 4 is a particularly notable one.
 * Color Coded for Your Convenience - People of importance have different text colours for their speech, and their own personal narration. Lance's is orange. Leviathan's is blue. Ashley's is purple.
 * Continuity Drift - Unregistered continually gets more complicated as new features and characters are added. Originally, it started off as a very pointless comedy series about teenagers with mild video game references. It doesn't stay that way.
 * Cover-Blowing Superpower - At first, Leviathan simply would not attempt to use any of his real powers, because then he'd be shown as a Chosen.
 * Later on,
 * Curb Stomp Battle - Lance Lenin was trained for years to take on Carriers using entry-level Civilian gear. When he was made to fight an Auditor catered towards newbies to using Carrier powers with all of his abilities AND the awesome gear he had...
 * Taken Up to Eleven in Leviathan's fight. Lance took him down in 3. Leviathan took him down in 1.
 * Darker and Edgier - C 1 A 1: A kid trying to eat a watermelon but failing..
 * Deadpan Snarker - Lance tends to follow this behaviour at times, especially in chats.
 * Divergent Character Evolution - Lance and Leviathan start off somewhat similar, with Lance being more stable. As time goes on and the cast is increased, you see more of Lance's lack of social skills come into play, until the two are unrelated to each-other personality wise in almost all aspects.
 * Disc One Final Dungeon - The fight against the PIZZAJACKERS. Incredibly awesome? Check. Hordes of enemies? Check. Dangerous final boss? Check. Happens in the second act of the first chapter? Check!
 * Disc One Nuke - Leviathan's portal power. It's absurdly overpowered, able to do ridiculous amounts of damage and circumvent most attacks.
 * Doomed Hometown -
 * Drop the Hammer - Lance is all about hammers. His online pseudonym is "Hamma Time".
 * Early Installment Weirdness - Early on, there is a lot less user interactivity. As the series progresses, new features are added constantly. This makes the series naturally evolve into a more complicated game, but makes re-reading it seem odd as all of the fights are automated and there's little control over what characters do.
 * Easily-Conquered World - Humanity was looking to be this, as the Sentinels were completely ahead of them in almost all aspects. Part of  narration says that the Spacewarriors (considered the strongest force of Humanity) would celebrate even the most minor of victories.
 * Easily-Thwarted Alien Invasion - ...then they just gave up.
 * Education Mama - Gender Flipped with Ashley's dad - he wants Ashley to become as smart as she can, forcing her through college at an incredibly young age, making her a college graduate at the age of 13.
 * The Empire - The Empire of, the Empire spanned an entire galaxy, and was a very advanced civilisation, as it ended up teaching humanity several things, including how to make Battledexes.   Recently, though, they have became far more benevolent, as the   who came to power were far more peaceful.
 * Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" - Characters not yet to be named are referred to as nicknames, such as that girl.
 * Her name was chosen to be Ashley Totora, which she doesn't like because it's boring.
 * Faceless Goons - Played With. Any character with coloured text is actually important. This is commented on. Likewise, characters written in the current POV text colour are minor characters.
 * Fake Ultimate Hero -
 * First Law of Metafictional Thermodynamics - Averted, as more characters are introduced the plot picks up considerably.
 * Fragile Speedster - Leviathan can cross intense distances with portals, and using his abnormally high Martial Prowess skill, he's able to run very fast, as well. He also has lower health than Ashley.
 * Freudian Excuse - The Sentinels attacked humanity because
 * Freudian Trio - Ashley is the ego, possessing both intelligence and clarity, as well as silliness and passion. In contrast, Lance in general is a very reserved person, and Leviathan is pretty passionate and warm.
 * Foil - Lance to Leviathan.
 * Foreshadowing - "Portalmaster" sounds like a really powerful class!.
 * For Massive Damage - Supposedly, using the Accurate fighting style allows you to sometimes get critical hits. This has yet to happen, though.
 * Done by Ashley of all people in the fight against her Auditor. It can happen! It made her hit an absurdly high number, unlike usual.
 * Game Breaking Bug -
 * Gameplay and Story Integration - The gameplay aspects of the game are part of what drives the story.
 * Genre Savvy - Because of the very video-game like environment, Leviathan is very ripe for this, especially when it comes to item management.
 * Gentlewoman Adventurer - Ashley is very rich, but still constant helps out Lance and Leviathan, and is shown to be a capable fighter in her own right, but she does not actually want to fight.
 * Give Me a Sword - Lance gives Leviathan a "sword" (really just a deceptively sharp piece of metal) after he realised his martial arts won't cut it in the big leagues because it has no bonuses.
 * Glass Cannon - Leviathan shows signs of this, having the lowest health of the trio, and for not having any armour whatsoever. He makes up for it by being able to singlehandedly take down beings the size of a house in one attack, though.
 * Good Bad Bugs - Literally a mechanic of the series with "Shenanigans", which are when you take a standard power(such as the ability to make a miniature whirlwind with magic) and abuse it's effects on physics to do ridiculously high amounts of damage.
 * Heel Realization - In the Intermission,.
 * Hello, Insert Name Here - Characters have to be named by players, for the most part. Stupid names are usually ignored, or joked on by the characters themselves as a stupid idea they shouldn't have came up with.
 * Heroic Self-Deprecation - Butch does not think very kindly of himself.
 * Heterosexual Life Partners - Lance and Leviathan.
 * Also, Butch and Napoleon.
 * Hurricane of Puns - Lance and Leviathan engage in this behaviour at times.
 * Hyperspace Arsenal - The inventories work as this, they are capable of storing vast objects, and take up zero space. They're not actually as helpful as they seem.
 * I Know Your True Name - Every character has a Chosentag, which dictates which Trueself power they get. All prophecies seem to be related to Chosentags, as well, considering how  referred to Lance as the.
 * Insistent Terminology - A Running Gag throughout the series - items are given rather descriptive, if absurd names, like the "ABNORMALLY LONG FLIGHT OF STAIRS" or that girl(italics necessary).
 * Intelligence Equals Isolation - See "Lonely Rich Kid" below.
 * Interactive Narrator - to a lesser extent than usual, but still noticeable. Some user's suggestions may get denied outright, but still acknowledged as a silly thought. In the first post, the main character's thoughts were directly shown replying to the narrator(you can tell because of the change in text colour).
 * Inventory Management Puzzle - The inventories are so ridiculously convoluted and asinine that many characters refuse to use them unless absolutely necessary. They're so ridiculously convoluted and asinine that the players refuse to use them unless absolutely necessary, too, preferring not to actually have to deal with them.
 * Done somewhat differently in S 1 A 5, when(among other additions to the gameplay) as the new leader of the 's gameplay adds a part where players attempt to buy supplies for use in making items for the team. This is done by trying to balance out what would be the best deal as well as giving you a decent repository of raw materials.
 * It Was a Gift - After Lance's birthday party, he gets a bunch of cool stuff, including a Apocalypse Hammer and a Steampunk Hammer.
 * Jerk With a Heart of Gold - Butch isn't just a hired sword, he's a pretty intelligent person. The reason he acts like a jerk is unknown, but he has been shown to be an incredibly pleasant person when not around his master.
 * Jet Pack - Ashley has one of these.
 * Katanas Are Just Better - Discussed by Ashley to Leviathan, who is having trouble coming up with a sword choice. It's a huge step up from his prior weapons, but considering before all he had was his fists and a deceptively sharp bar of metal, any sword would be a huge step up.
 * Knight of Cerebus - The Seer is like this.  This whole event leaves Lance of all people stunned.
 * Kuudere - Lance tries to act cool and uncaring all of the time. He's also an incredibly caring friend to Leviathan.
 * Leaning On the Fourth Wall - ALL THE TIME.
 * Legacy of Service - Butch has been working for Napoleon his whole life. He doesn't seem to care, though.
 * Level Scaling - When up against higher level opponents, Lance (after jumping in power significantly) ends up doing about the same damage he did.
 * Lightning Bruiser - Lance is most definitely one of these. He's fast(not nearly at Leviathan's level though, even without portals), he can take a hell of a beating if he wants to, and he can dish it out in return. He's also a rather adept Area of Effect mage. His weakness, though, is that his attacks are not that quick, and they're not as devastating as Leviathan's.
 * Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards - It's stated that the ascension of many melee focused classes leaves a lot to be desired.
 * Limited Social Circle - Lance is not good with people, and Ashley was very un-popular. The trio, however, were very close. Leviathan is depicted as the most social person in the trio, but for the most part, they mainly stick together.
 * Lonely Rich Kid - Ashley's first year of regular schooling was like this, until she met Leviathan and Lance.
 * Mass Super-Empowering Event -
 * Magic Knight - Lance. He doesn't use wind magic much, preferring to use it as a last resort. It's proven to be a very powerful ability when used, though.
 * Magikarp Power - The Summoner class only creates stupid kittens, which are not much help at all. However, it was said that knowing the names of powerful demons would make the class more powerful. How powerful is yet to be seen, as Ashley does not go out to fight much.
 * Mission Control - Ashley acts as this from C 1 A 4 onward, acting as the.
 * Monologuing - Can happen at times. Usually about the needlessly complex inventories, but can be about other things.
 * Other characters are capable of noticing when this happens, and actively try to interrupt it.
 * Mythology Gag - Many characters in-series are fans of other works that the author has written. At one point, a viewer asked to check for updates on a completely dead webcomic he worked on temporarily.
 * Nakama - The trio.
 * Nice Job Breaking It, Hero -
 * Ashley, in a fit of rage after seeing
 * Nominal Importance - See "Faceless Goons". Characters with colours are likely to be Carriers.
 * Non-Idle Rich - Ashley is very helpful to Lance and Leviathan, often working as Mission Control, and working to help create their weapons and armour for them.
 * Non-Lethal KO - Battle via Battledex results in this. Implied that without Battledexes, battles would result in permanent death.
 * Said straight out when . It was alive, just beaten, and then it was attacked once the Battledex stopped protecting him.
 * Non-Player Character -  It is worth noting that these characters can occasionally get the POV, but you will be unable to control them with it.
 * No Sneak Attacks - Averted in the final battle in C 1 A 2. A mook tripped Leviathan and attacked him while he was trying to pass by. Not that it did much good to stop him.
 * No Social Skills - Lance is not very good with people, at all. Especially apparent in the beginning of C 1 A 5.
 * Open-Minded Parent - The parents in this series have no problem with their kids going out and beating the living hell out of each-other.
 * One-Man Army - Lance is this. Despite Leviathan technically hitting higher and being quicker, Leviathan has almost no anti-group abilities and fights in a series of 1-on-1 fights, whereas Lance's hammer techniques can take on multiple opponents effortlessly, as well as his wind magic being geared towards Area of Effect spells.
 * Phantom Zone -
 * Physical God - The God-Tiers.
 * To a lesser extent,
 * Power Limiters - Used by all of the auditors for good reason - a bunch of level 1s would be slaughtered in seconds by level 20+ staff members at the Academy.
 * Prestige Class - Of course, this is a very video-game inspired place! Hell, classes are part of the game's mechanics!
 * Random Power Ranking - The levels don't appear to mean that much, as Level 4 Leviathan is more than a match for incredibly powerful seeming sorcerers. Whether this is a case of Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards is yet to be explained.
 * Rank Inflation - However absurdly overpowered the main characters are, the more experience teachers could mop the floor with them if they really tried. And then there are the
 * Restraining Bolt - Tiberius, when given a job as  and ambassador for the Hales was not allowed to take many of his weapons with him, and is constantly checked to make sure he doesn't plan anything.
 * Sadist Teacher - Ashley's auditor is a little... engaged about auditing her fighting abilities, and has no problem with using incredibly high level techniques against a beginner.
 * Science Hero - Ashley.
 * Screwy Squirrel - Leviathan trolls people on occasion.
 * Second-Hour Superpower - Carrier powers! There's also Third Hour Superpowers with Trueself abilities, which act as an ultimate extension of your Chosentag, and are stable throughout.
 * Second Person Narration - Everywhere. Despite having multiple viewpoints, this is handled by every character having their own text colour.
 * Self-Imposed Challenge - As part of a Power Limiter, Leviathan only fought using martial arts for awhile. This did wonders to help his manoeuvrability, as in this world hand-to-hand combat ties directly into athletic feats.
 * Shonen Upgrade - Justified with  who deliberately abuses his high level and the rules of XP gaining to force the trio into getting level 17.
 * Showy Invincible Hero - Played straight with Lance and Leviathan from the beginning to most of C 1 A 5.
 * Shrouded in Myth -
 * The Silent Bob - People can converse with Sophia, if they ask her simple yes/no questions.
 * Skeleton Government - Averted with the Usenterrs. Part of  Day in The Limelight was devoted to explaining how their politics work. Basically, there are two groups in opposition, the  . The former is more optimistic, and believes in trying to integrate humanity into their empire to work against The Culling, but the latter believes that humanity is inherently useless and that wiping them out would save trouble.
 * So Last Season - C 1 A 1 Lance and C 1 A 5 Lance are miles apart in power. And they still have a long way to go from there to hit their cap.
 * Spanner in The Works -  plan fell to pieces as   had no idea that Ashley could summon an incredibly powerful demon.
 * Squishy Wizard - Mentioned. Butch Altar didn't believe that Lance was a mage, because most mages are this trope.
 * Stalker With a Crush - Ashley is a milder version of this to Leviathan.
 * Sophia shows up constantly around Leviathan at random locations. And only in Leviathan's narration. Other characters are aware of her, but she never shows up to anyone else except Leviathan.
 * Summon Magic - Ashley uses this.
 * Superpower Lottery - Leviathan most definitely wins through his numerous inventive uses of portals. Lance would be a milder example, capable of fighting on a very high level with just about anyone as well as using powerful magic, and staying speedy enough to boot.
 * Supernatural Aid - All over the place. The Trio is well known by all of the Sentinels, and it seems like everyone is trying to get them to do something.
 * Super Registration Act - The Evo RP takes place well after it's inception, and is a guiding plot point the entire series.
 * Ted Baxter - Napoleon thinks very highly of himself! He even managed to get into the 2nd year Advanced class by being that intelligent. He's absolutely brilliant - but just not brilliant enough to beat Ash, and knows it.
 * Temporal Mutability - Time travel is handled in a fairly linear manner, where if you attempt to change things, it will change them... in an alternate timeline. This makes Leviathan giving his past-self some gear incredibly confusing.
 * The Strategist - Ashley's gameplay mainly consists of her planning out the day for the other characters to do things, and to build things for everyone else.
 * The Voiceless - Sophia doesn't say anything. She never really tells why, and refuses to chat online.
 * This Index Happened Offscreen - In the beginning, many things in-game were handled automatically. As the game went on, more and more control was given to users until by C 1 A 5 almost everything is handled by players.
 * Time Travel - Leviathan's Trueself power is this.
 * Tome of Eldritch Lore -.
 * Took a Level In Badass - Played with. To characters not-in-the-know, it seems like Leviathan took a level in badass. In reality, he had these powers long before, he was just afraid of showing them.
 * Troll - Leviathan messed with Napoleon for giggles.
 * Turn Based Strategy - Elements of this begin popping up near the end of Chapter 1.
 * Two Scenes, One Dialogue - At the climax of C 1 A 4, Ashley is talking to the Principal about  As he explains why the things are happening, it cuts to Leviathan asking questions in class that are somewhat pertinent to understanding the conflict.
 * Unexpected Gameplay Change - While the series has been constantly evolving into more complex forms as users adapt to the unusual circumstances of the Evo RP, a major game changer in S 1 A 4 adds a new mechanic to the series which completely throws off how people play the game.  This update takes over all "free time" at the mall, giving you total freedom over which of the characters to use when the plot isn't taking over, and how to use them. You can still mess around in the mall, but you have to make sure you don't screw too much up.
 * Unwitting Pawn -
 * Weak but Skilled - Ashley has the lowest hits out of the group, no direct combat abilities, her weapon of choice(a wrench) is pretty much ineffectual. In fights, she uses every trick in the book she can come up with to win. She's the only person in-series as of C 1 A 3 capable of pulling off a critical hit.
 * Weapon of Choice - A core mechanic to the game. All characters have various stats in various things, like Leviathan's high Martial Prowess (making him highly manoeuvrable) and mid level sword stat. Characters generally don't use other types of weapons, because they'd suck with them.
 * Weirdness Censor - Roving gangs of demons and monsters from realms nobody has heard of lead by powerful sorcerers attack pizza vans. People are more distraught over the lack of pizza than the whole "army of otherworldly monsters".
 * Wham! Line -
 * What Do You Mean It's Not Didactic? - Used in-universe, due to shenanigans. Leviathan decides to randomly spout out Insane Clown Posse lyrics. This is misinterpreted as Leviathan trying to tell Napoleon that he needs to pay more attention to his team and be a more present leader.
 * What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway? -  has yet to use her Trueself Power, but there doesn't really seem to be a use for something, considering her Chosentag is.
 * Wisdom From the Gutter - Subverted, see "What Do You Mean It's Not Didactic?"
 * You Are Better Than You Think You Are - Lance to Butch after he laments that he keeps training but never seems to get to Lance's level.

 * Zerg Rush - End of Chapter 1 Act 2's battle. A ton of weak low-level enemies rob a pizza delivery van
