{{tropelist}}
 
* [[Ace Pilot]] - Currently Joseph, Kestrel and (for helicopters at least) Suzi, but previously Zephyr as well.
* [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]] - The ''Defiant''.
* [[Alternate Universe]] - First, the RP itself is set in an alternate universe to the [[Nintendo Wars]] canon. Then there's a ''second'' parallel world, where Black Hole are from. It's also implied there's countless more parallel worlds. Yay quantum theory?
** [[Zeppelins from Another World]]: Orange Star finally have airships!
** [[Elseworld]]: Former [[Game Master|RP Leader]] PanicAttack is planning a fanfic where much of the cast are placed in a world where their powers resemble more conventional [[Stock Super Powers]]. It's essentially the AWRP [[X Meets Y|crossed with]] [[X-Men]].
* [[Aluminum Christmas Trees]] - The Russians really did build a [[wikipedia:Tsar Bomba|Tsar Bomba]], similar to the AWRP's [[MacGuffin|Tsarina Bomba]]
* [[Anti-Air]] - As well as the Anti-Air vehicles, the surface-to-air Missiles, the anti-sub/air Cruiser, some factions have additional counter-air weaponary including:
** The Orange Star/Yellow Comet Frigate, a ship with a surface-to-air missile launcher
** The Green Earth Hoverflak, a hovercraft armed with an anti-air vulcan, similar to the one on the Anti-Air tank.
** The Yellow Comet [[Shout-Out|Masako]] [[Saints Row|Troopers]], armed with [[More Dakka|miniguns]], which make them one of the most cost-effective ways of dealing with enemy helicopters. They also fair well against Interceptors.
* [[Anyone Can Die]] - Maria, Don, Zephyr (but he got better until he didn't again), Lorin, Omega, Petr, Haynes, D, loads of SMART COs
* [[Armor-Piercing Attack]] - Yellow Comet's Bombers, Fuzei and indirect-combat units have this to a limited degree, as Yellow Comet's "Ballistic Precision" technology allows their attacks to ignore enemy [[Geo Effects|terrain defense]].
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]] - All the COs, but especially Dart, Procella, Thor and Ken.
* [[Big Bad]] - Vogel in the SMART event, Nicole in the AB04 storyline. For other events, it's not entirely clear.
* [[Bigger Bad]] - Vogel
* [[Brought Down to Normal]] - The main universe COs during the Black Hole event. It's implied that it wasn't just the Cosmo Land COs, but also the Omega Land ones and possibly even the Macro Land ones.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]] - Quite a few characters:
** Maria and her penchant for stuffed toys.
** Dart is a minor case as of late, but has been known for taking his [[Pirate]] act quite far.
** Merlin. Where do we start?
** Rakshata's furniture fascination qualifies her as one.
** Thor, like Dart, is a bit of a minor case. Although he doesn't act like a [[Horny Vikings|viking berzerker]] as much as he did, he's known to lapse into such moments occasionally.
** Hanako certainly acts as would be expected from a military commander and scientist, but dresses pretty lightly in all-natural materials when possible and [[Does Not Like Shoes|always goes barefoot]].
** Ryouta, a former [[Visual Kei]] singer who still dresses the part. All the time.
* [[The Chessmaster]] - Nicole thinks she is one, Ada really is one.
* [[A Commander Is You]] - Like [[Nintendo Wars]] itself, this is more to do with actual COs than to do with factions. There's still a hint of this with the actual factions, though.
** Orange Star - Unit specialist faction (naval)
Line 42 ⟶ 67:
** Black Hole - Gimmick (research, with bits of industry) faction
** SMART - Gimmick (research) faction [[Up to Eleven]]
* [[Ace Pilot]] - Currently Joseph, Kestrel and (for helicopters at least) Suzi, but previously Zephyr as well.
* [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]] - The ''Defiant''.

* [[The Chessmaster]] - Nicole thinks she is one, Ada really is one.
* [[Conversational Troping]] / [[Discussed Trope]] / [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Hanako has talked about tropes including [[Personality Blood Types]], [[Theme Naming]] (particularly [[Flower Motifs]]) and [[Zeppelins from Another World]]. Procella also recognised a potential [[Enemy Mine]] situation in regards to Green Earth.
* [[Cool Boat]] - Everyone has at least one.
Line 102:
** [[Subverted Trope|Suzi is nothing like]] [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Haruhi]], despite her [[Punny Name]].
** Mira is essentially a cross between Penny/Lily and Olaf.
* [[Five-Man Band]]:
** Black Hole, First Wave
*** [[The Hero]] or [[The Big Bad]] - Eastwood
*** [[The Lancer]] or [[The Dragon]] - Odin
*** [[The Smart Guy]] or [[The Evil Genius]] - Ironside
*** [[The Big Guy]] or [[The Brute]] - Molotov
*** [[The Chick]] or [[The Dark Chick]] - Eris
*** [[The Sixth Ranger]] - Stonewall
* [[Five-Bad Band]] - Black Hole, as listed above. SMART also had this in each wave of their attacks.
** First wave:
Line 130 ⟶ 122:
*** [[The Brute]] - Flak
*** [[The Dark Chick]] - Adder
* [[Five-Man Band]]:
** Black Hole, First Wave
*** [[The Hero]] or [[The Big Bad]] - Eastwood
*** [[The Lancer]] or [[The Dragon]] - Odin
*** [[The Smart Guy]] or [[The Evil Genius]] - Ironside
*** [[The Big Guy]] or [[The Brute]] - Molotov
*** [[The Chick]] or [[The Dark Chick]] - Eris
*** [[The Sixth Ranger]] - Stonewall
* [[PowerFreudian Trio]] - Not so much the factions, but some of the subfactions are like this:
** Task Force Bad Wolf:
*** Caligari (Superego)
*** Hanako (Ego)
*** Sae (Id)
** Vakyrie Unit:
*** Camilla (Id)
*** Kiku (Ego)
*** Naomi (Superego)
** [[Evil Counterpart|Macro Land]] Blue Moon:
*** Dudulya (Id)
*** Svarog (Ego)
*** Malyshev (Superego)
* [[Game-Breaking Injury]] - The virus that prevents the usage of CO Powers could be seen as a form of this, especially since the Black Hole COs are unaffected and some have borderline [[Game Breaker]] abilities.
* [[Gatling Good]] - The Yellow Comet Masako Troopers use miniguns, as do the Vulcaneers from the alternate Yellow Comet.
Line 173 ⟶ 186:
* [[Please Select New City Name|Please Select New City And Island Names]] - When SMART lost some of their islands to the various nations of Cosmo Land, the islands were renamed. Instead of [[Theme Naming|Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto]], the islands are now known as Liberty Island, Kristallichy Island, L'isola Vesuvio and Minamimoto. The cities were also renamed.
* [[The Power of Friendship]] and/or [[The Power of Love|Love]] - Tag affinities are determined this way. [[True Companions|Tag powers gain a 5% boost if both COs are in the same faction, for instance]], unless decided otherwise. This goes both ways, as COs who don't get along have a weak tag power.
* [[Power Trio]] - Not so much the factions, but some of the subfactions are like this:
** Task Force Bad Wolf:
*** Caligari (Superego)
*** Hanako (Ego)
*** Sae (Id)
** Vakyrie Unit:
*** Camilla (Id)
*** Kiku (Ego)
*** Naomi (Superego)
** [[Evil Counterpart|Macro Land]] Blue Moon:
*** Dudulya (Id)
*** Svarog (Ego)
*** Malyshev (Superego)
* [[Purposefully Overpowered]] - Vogel and some of the Black Hole COs, the Stratodestroyer.
* [[Secret Relationship]] - Dart and Maddie think they have one. They really don't.
