'''''[http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7000298 Avatar Battle Royale]''''' is a collaborative
The original plot, called Fat Fish Fury, came to be as a result of a feud between two forum members, and it has since grown into a massive fantasy story in which good, evil and aliens battle for the control of the world.
Not to be confused with ''[[
{{tropelist}}
* [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]]: The Vendetta.
* [[Ambidextrous Sprite]]: Several characters have scars and eye patches that work this way. Notably Oliver.
Line 16 ⟶ 15:
* [[Another Dimension]]: The defunct Jouney Home plot lives and breathes this trope.
** The Squark Universe also counts, although its creator is fond of dropping obvious hints that its actually just a different galaxy.
* [[Anti
* [[Anti
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Used many times, mostly by mooks or minor characters.
* [[Asskicking Pose]]: Many of characters who are preparing for a fight get these.
Line 26 ⟶ 25:
* [[Badass Biker]]: Oliver, a planehopping foreign exchange student, and a resident Q.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Oliver, who received his trenchcoat from Puppetmaster. Also, quite a few people in FI seem to sport longcoats.
** The more obscure character of Squark sported one long before Oliver, but [[Canon
** While not actually a 'coat', Grayscale wears a robe that actually seems TOO long for him.
* [[Battle Aura]]: Many characters sport this when [[Took a Level In Badass|taking a level in badass]], or are daemonic, super-powered or otherwise supernatural combatants.
* [[Benevolent Alien Invasion]]: The [[Nanomachines|replicator-based Sovices]] seem pretty benevolent, as they managed to install world peace. It is ambiguous if they really are, though.
* [[BFG]]: These have made numerous appereances, amongst the worst offenders being chainguns, missile launchers, and lasers.▼
** Averted with Grayscale, who wields a tiny one-shot pistol.▼
* [[BFS]]: Used by many, many characters. To mind rise Jason Doomblade, Almighty Salmon (Well, he has used a knife bigger than himself), Mecha-Nightwing and Eita.▼
* [[Big Bad]]: The moon elf Threeshades, before her [[Heel Face Turn]], her demonic possessors, and Ins, a nanobot spirit possessing a human corpse.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]
▲* [[
▲** Averted with Grayscale, who wields a tiny one-shot pistol.
▲* [[
* [[Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics]]: Don't even ask how some of the shots made in ABR are possible. Just go with [[Rule of Cool]].
** At one point, Grayscale drops a large bomb from about twenty feet. It somehow does not go off.
* [[Belated Backstory]]: Many of the recurring characters, but occasionally subverted.
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Named characters never run out of ammo unless it is determined by plot, or if they are using something that absolutely needs a reload after each use.
* [[
* [[Brother Chuck]]: Several, given ABR's revolving door cast.▼
* [[Butt Monkey]]: MasterRanger, who is mocked for his poor art, lousy grammar, and insufferable God-modding.
** Squark is also regularly mocked (although he encourages it) for the now [[Noodle Incident]] of his original comics.
** Nightwing may be the best example. After people got sick of his narration of the fights, they turned killing him into a running gag.
* [[Canon
* [[Casanova Wannabe]]: Q, shown when he's trying to pick up PC women, like Verra and Skimmer, and usually gets his ass kicked.
** He does have several wives and girlfriends though according to [[Word of God|his writer]] and his backstory Prequel ''[[My Name Is Q]]''.
* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: ABR in general seems to suffer from this a rather lot.
* [[Character Customization]]: Every character in the story, naturally.
* [[The Chessmaster|Chessmaster]]: Lyinginbedmon was initially introduced as a quasi-evil wandering spellcaster, who has gradually been revealed as more and more involved in maintaining global equilibrium.
** Grayscale sees himself as a chessmaster, but has a greatly inflated view of his own importance.
* [[Chess
* [[The Chosen One]]: Leroy, a fat, childish fish, and his brother the flying Almighty Salmon, supposedly the only ones capable of defeating Threeshades' demonic possessors.
* [[Clean Cut]]: Has happened many in random kills and sometimes even in the actual story.
* [[Clothing Damage]]: A bullet ricochets off the hull of the ''Heart of Booty'' and tears Alana's pants through the middle. No, really.
Line 65 ⟶ 64:
** All-Star... just wait and see
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Many characters in Avatar Battle Royale have lost someone dear to them, generally in their insignificant backstory.
* [[Dual
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Calamity.
** Nameless has boobies! has become a running gag.
* [[Duel to
* [[Earthshattering Kaboom]]: Explosive Apocalypse From the Sky, a spell designed just for this effect, can pretty much wipe out civilizations.
** To a lesser extent Rapture.
* [[
* [[Everythings Better With Pandas]]: Threeshades turns into a little panda.▼
▲* [[Everythings Better With Penguins]]: Guinoids, a race of anthromorphic penguins, and Sinister Penguin, an actual penguin. The setting even has a Time Guinoid!
* [[Face Heel Turn]] and [[Heel Face Turn]]: Happened all the time back when the sides were less defined. Sometimes characters would even forget what side they were on.
* [[Fallen Hero]]: Threeshades is probably the most notable Fallen Hero, though one could argue that it was only due to her demonic possession.
Line 79 ⟶ 77:
* [[Flanderization]]: Mechafox has become increasingly malfunctioning and insane as time goes by.
* [[Foe Yay]]: Between Threeshades and Salmon/Leroy
** And a little non-canon comic with Q and Lyinginbedmon seems to suggest this.
* [[Garfunkel]]: Green-shirted Q. He and Q are an equal duo, but Q gets most of the spotlight because his wirter likes writing for him more then GSQ. This will apparently be corrected in Future Imperfect.
* [[Gatling Good]]: Randomizer has used a gatling gun several times.
* [[Grim Reaper]]: Nameless.
* [[Government Conspiracy]]: Them. "People don't believe the truth, the truth is what people believe" indeed.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Many characters sport scars even in Fat Fish Fury, even more will in Future Imperfect.
* [[Grumpy Bear]]: Many people, such as Nilmerg Eht and The Q, tend to be moody, cynical, and irritable, and almost every protagonist in Future Imperfect is.
* [[Hell]]: The setting has Baator, which some characters have visited along the course of the story.
* [[Hero
* [[Hero Antagonist]]: Most of the people in the United Nations of Avbaroy could be considered [[Lawful Good]].
* [[Hidden Elf Village]]: Sharnin.
Line 102 ⟶ 100:
* [[Joke Item]]: Some characters have used truly laughable items as weapons in long and glorious history of ABR. These include eggs, soda, sticks, stones, heads and other body parts...the list goes on.
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Stephen Mask (eventually), among others.
* [[Kill It
* [[Kill Sat]]: There is one right in orbit over the planet.
* [[La Résistance]]: The ALF, fighting against the [[Benevolent Alien Invasion|Benevolent Alien Invaders]].
Line 121 ⟶ 119:
* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: Bob and Nancy's underwear fight.
** Alana and Beren in TSS are seen by the crew on top of one another after she tries to retrieve her stolen rapier from him by bunny hopping into him.
* [[Nuke
* [[Off
* [[Ominous Floating Castle]]: The citadel of Bis Anu. Subverted as it is not hideout of bad guys, but actually the HQ of the good guys.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: Vert Doom, debatably Nameless (as he is the grim reaper of the setting) and Q.
* [[One
* [[One
* [[Our Souls Are Different]]: Souls have plenty of uses. Everything from antimatter and fuel.
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: Diskord. {{spoiler|The Sadistic Crazy Spawn of Evil that was created by the left over magic of Fayte, and the evil of Threeshades.}}
* [[Powered Armor]]: The machinists use this.
Line 139 ⟶ 138:
* [[Rule of Cool]]: All over the place.
* [[Sapient Ship]]: Technically, Ven is just in charge of repairs and handling menial tasks onboard the Vendetta, but he can operate the ship if need be.
* [[Schizo
* [[Shipping]]: Brenen and Alana of the TSS plot. And this was by strip... 8? maybe?
* [[Shout
* [[Sidekick]]: Nameless to Lyinginbedmon.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Q.
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: And how!
* [[Tank Goodness]]: Or perhaps Tank Badness. The Machinists love this.
* [[Tonight Someone Dies]]: "The Death of Mechafox" was announced a week before the character was beheaded by the [[Big Bad]]... only to result in a [[Robotic Reveal]]. Happened several times with Stephen Mask, who's eventual death was declared a few comics before, but was subverted when authors made him alive in their comics, and the process restarted. He had to be ripped in half to be [[Killed Off for Real]].
* [[Unusual Ears]]: Along with catboys and catgirls, there are more than a few characters who have appeared with animal ears without having an animal in their family anywhere.
** Alana had bunny ears, for instance.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Several [[La Résistance]] members in Future Imperfect, notably Ersnt Schwarz and Chriky, to some extent.
* [[Villain
* [[
* [[Winged Humanoid]]: ABR has it's share of winged people. Notable examples include Threeshades, Eita, Calamity and Fayte.
* [[Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters]]: The Avbaroy Liberation Front and the Sons of Schizotec, who could very well be the bad guys if not for the fact that the alien invaders have somewhat ambiguous intentions.
* [[Our Goblins Are
** And Grayscale seems to be a third type of goblin. He has an immense hatred of Plotgoblins.
