Celestial Refresh

Starting out as Celestial Eruption back in 2006 on Invisionfree, Celestial Refresh is a statistical Play By Post Game centering around characters and settings from various video games, anime, and a few other odd sources being ripped from their homeland and thrown into a new universe, simply called The Multiverse. Many don't take this very well at first, however, over time, characters learn to adjust to their new homes and neighbors, and veterans are generally unfazed by the zanier parts of both magic and technology, regardless of their native home's surroundings. Despite it's dips into rather depressing situations, it does have it's sillier and more lighthearted moments.

You can find a link to it here, and the wiki here. You can also find the character sheet here.

Story/In character tropes
"Michael: "SUCK ON MY...WOLF PUNCH!""
 * Aborted Arc: Common. Some, like the God Wars and Judges Arcs, were cancelled/ended early due to dissatisfaction with the progression or annoyance with powerful NPCs forcing unwanted participation. Others, such as Savage Tide, ended due to the primary storyteller going on hiatus or quitting.
 * Aerith and Bob: Justified, since the multiverse is the biggest melting pot in existence.
 * Anachronism Stew: What happens when you put Hyrule and Station Square within space- or magic-traveling distance of each other
 * Alternate Universe: Explains a few discrepancies between characters and their original counterparts.
 * Apocalypse How: A few times, but generally Class 0 or Class 1

 * Knight of Cerebus: Several: The Crawler is a good example, as he was deliberately taken to kill some characters.
 * Loads and Loads of Characters: Granted, many of them switch in and out of the story alot due to the users playing the characters getting bored and getting newer ones. Leads to a lot of confusion out of character, since most people are referred to by their main accounts.

 * Berserk Button: Do not get your greek mythology wrong in front of Ledah.
 * "WHY THE F*** ARE WE HAVING A FLAME WAR OVER DEAD RELIGIONS!"
 * Bile Fascination: The sole reason the "Lizardman" and "Furry Handjob" quests are archived for people to read, as far as the memberbase is concerned. Well that and to torture members.

Gameplay Tropes

 * Annoying Arrows/Arbitrary Gun Power: Somewhat justified with the Multiversal Drain affecting the deadliness of most weapons.
 * Character Alignment: In-universe example for general placement. Uses a number system instead of the usual format. Ranges from +5 (Incorruptible Pure Pureness) to -5 (Complete Monster)
 * Character Level: Ranks
 * Critical Existence Failure: Although played straight statistic wise, it's usually good manners to subvert this trope in character.
 * Damage Typing: Attacks can be Melee, Ranged, Ballistic, or Spell based.
 * Fight in The Nude: Occasionally subverted, on the player's fancy. Luckily no one ACTUALLY fights in the nude. ..yet.
 * Fire Cold Lightning: Makes their rounds, along with several other elements, such as Dark, Mental, Bio, Energy, Slashing...
 * Game Master: Moderators usually fall into this role, but some quests, called Personal Quests, don't require any Mods.
 * Guns Are Worthless: A bullet will deal just as much as a knife or an axe or a fist for the exact same energy point cost.
 * Hit Points
 * In and Out of Character
 * Karl Marx Hates Your Guts
 * Loads and Loads of Rules: A little more than your standard RP, but justified due to the complex stat system, and is nowhere near as bad as a Tabletop Game.
 * YMMV on if it's as bad as a Table Top RPG. Most table top RPGs run quickly after you figure out the single core mechanic. CRRP doesn't have a singular core mechanic.
 * Mana: Labeled as Energy Points, and can be used for anything from magic spells to martial arts skills to aiming for different body parts.
 * Money Spider: Sometimes, although occasionally subverted.
 * Multiversal Spaceship
 * One Size Fits All: Equipment bought for one character will easily fit another.
 * Play By Post Game
 * Point Buy System/Tech Points: You can use Improvement Points to buy new attacks, or improve attack damage, or increase your vitals
 * The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Monsters in quests do not have to abide by the same rules that the PCs do.
 * Questing Time: With the occasional Lampshade Hanging for good measure.
 * Standard Status Effect: Many make their rounds under different names
 * Universal Wound
 * Wallet of Holding Considering there isn't a single universal currency (Most collectively call it "c"), most people are carrying several different kinds, from paper to jewels to coins...
