The '''''Aveyond''''' series are downloadable PC RPG games created by [http://www.amaranthia.com/ Amaranth Games]. The game engine used for the games are [[Game Maker|RPG Maker XP with the exception of Ahriman's Prophecy which was created with RM2k3]].
 
The whole series takes place in a world called Aia. The games normally start out with [[Kid Hero|a teen around 13-17 years old]], who is the main character living their lives until the [[Big Bad]] does something that thrusts them out of their peaceful lives and the next thing they know, an old lady {{spoiler|who is the goddess that created the world}} tells them that they [[The Chosen One|are part of some prophecy]] to prevent [[The End of the World Asas We Know It]].
 
''Ahriman's Prophecy'' starts out with Talia Maurva, who wants to be "named", or given a life job, but ends up being ordered to go to Thais along with Devin Perry to learn magic so she can save the world.
Line 14:
''Aveyond 3'', after the first 2 chapters... goes insane. Somehow there's an ancient prophecy involved somewhere and the villain turns out to be... {{spoiler|Mel herself}}?
 
Aveyond has a [[Aveyond (Video Game)/Characters|character page]] which needs more love.

'''This game series contains examples of: '''
{{tropelist}}
* [[Accidental Truth]]: In Aveyond 3 {{spoiler|Mel told a curious Edward that she's bringing the amnesiac Stella home to Naylith. This was obviously meant to be a lie (since Stella didn't even know where she came from at that moment), but we later find out that she really is a Naylithian}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Alicia, Rhen, Elini, and Te'ijal.
* [[Adorable Evil Minions]]: [[Cute Monster Girl|Darklings]].
* [[Anti -Hero]]: Mel, sort of, as she starts out as a shameless thief. {{spoiler|And ends off as a pretty shameless spy too. And in the end, it turns out that she's the descendant of Mordred Darkthrop who is one of those prophesied to take over the world and lead it into darkness. Poor Mel. [[Villain Protagonist]] in the making. [[Screw Destiny|Or maybe not.]] }}
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: The Snow Queen in ''Aveyond 2''. {{spoiler|Although, it turns out she was brainwashed...}} Also, Lydia in ''Aveyond 3 The Lost Orb''.
** Averted with [[Prince Charming|Edward]]
* [[The Artful Dodger]]: Jack can count as this seeing how he's a thief in the street and he enjoys it. Even though he's physically weak, he can hold up on his own as being street smart and is an expert at picking locks.
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Galahad and Te'ijal, especially in ''Aveyond 3''.
** According to the game Galahad just values his marriage vows more than he hates his wife, but Te'ijal's letters in ''Aveyond 3: The Lost Orb'' seem to imply otherwise...
* [[Awesome Moment of Crowning]]: The canon ending in ''Aveyond 1'' where {{spoiler|Rhen chooses to accept her duty as the ruler of Thais and marries Dameon in the process.}}
Line 31:
* [[Badass Cape]]: Nox's floats behind her when she walks.
* [[Because Destiny Says So]]: The prophecy about [[The Chosen One|the chosen Darkthrop]] conquering the world. Played straight {{spoiler|and played with ''[[Mind Screw|somehow]]''; only the chosen Darkthrop (Mel) can successfully conquer the world, as Mordred discovers when he tries. So he manipulates Mel into capturing all the rulers of the world to fulfill the prophecy, then tries to take over. The heroes defeat him, Mel lets the rulers go, the world is safe, and there's no more danger from the Darkthrop prophecy.}}
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: ''Aveyond 3'' ups the ante by having three major love interests for Edward: [[Mystical Waif]] Stella (Betty compared to Lydia, Veronica compared to Mel), [[Rich Bitch]] Lydia (Veronica), and [[Anti -Hero]] Best Friend Mel (Betty). He even has a [[Third Option Love Interest|Fourth Option Love Interest]] if he doesn't successfully propose to any of the main love interests; his mother [[Arranged Marriage|arranges a marriage]] to {{spoiler|Orc princess Belf}}.
** After ''The Darkthrop Prophecy'', though, Stella's more Betty than Mel.
* [[Big Bad]]: Zorom ''Ahriman's Prophecy'', Ahriman ''Ahriman's Prophecy'' and ''Aveyond 1'', Snow Queen ''Aveyond 2'' ({{spoiler|Actually, Heptitus was [[Brainwashed|brainwashing]] the Snow Queen making her the evil mastermind behind the events of Aveyond 2}}), Gyendal Ravenfoot ''Aveyond 3'' ({{spoiler|Mordred Darkthrop was [[The Man Behind the Man]] to Gyendal the whole time}})
Line 39:
* [[Children Are Innocent]]: Children in Harburg, Aveyond 3.
* [[Coup De Grace Cutsene]]: Aveyond 1, against Ahriman.
* [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]]: Vampirism is a horrific curse, according to Galahad. Other vampires, including his wife, disagree.
* [[Dark Messiah]]: The darklings and other traditionally evil beings believe the prophesied Darkthrop will be this.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Te'ijal, Jack, Mel, and sometimes Elini.
* [[Doomed Hometown]]: Ahriman wiped out nearly the whole mainland including the protagonists' hometowns between ''Ahrimans Prophecy'' and ''Aveyond 1''.
* [[Eleventh -Hour Superpower]]: Stakes against the vampire bosses in Aveyond 3.
* [[Everythings Nuttier With Squirrels]]: Militant squirrels appear in every game so far.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]:
Line 51:
* [[Freeware Games]]: Ahriman's Prophecy.
* [[Geographic Flexibility]]: Thais is on a continent known as the Mainland. That's pretty much the only geography held constant through all the games.
* [[Girl Withwith Psycho Weapon]]: Nox is a young girl whose [[Weapon of Choice]] is a cleaver/scythe.
* [[God in Human Form]]: {{spoiler|The Oracle}}
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Nox. One look at those glowing blue eyes and you know there's something wrong... Then subverted with {{spoiler|her sister}} Uma, who has the same glowing blue eyes and is one step away from being Miss Goody Two-Shoes.
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: The Snow Queen in ''Aveyond 2'' {{spoiler|at least while she's [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]}}, {{spoiler|Lydia Rupert}} in the second half of ''Aveyond 3''.
* [[The Gods Must Be Lazy]]: Whenever there is some sort of evil threatening the world, {{spoiler|Oracle}} usually just sends someone tell the [[The Chosen One|main characters]] that they must save [[The End of the World Asas We Know It|the world]] or just tells them herself despite the fact that {{spoiler|she created Aia, so you might think she might be able to do something about it with a wave of her hand.}} And she certainly doesn't provide any help for the heroes in their quest except for that one time where she gave Rhen the Sword of Shadows.
* [[Green Eyed Red Head]]: Talia Maurva.
* [[Have a Nice Death]]: The death screen says: "Ye wimp! Who taught you how to fight?!"
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Jack can do this in Ahriman's Prophecy to get Succubus's Sea Relic. Also, in Aveyond: Gates of Night, {{spoiler|Stella sacrifices herself by using up all her magic in order to activate the orb of life.}}
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Dameon does this after Rhen uses fairy dust on him.}}
* [[Hot Chick Withwith a Sword]]: Rhen Darzon.
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: Talia just wanted to be an herbalist for her village, but instead she ends up getting sent to Thais to learn how to be a mage. Also, Edward would rather be a chicken farmer than a prince.
** Alicia just wants to be a normal citizen rather than a princess, to the point where she runs away with Talia and co.
Line 67:
** Plus Lydia gets worse in The Lost Orb.
** Also Lars at the start of the Aveyond 1. He becomes nicer though, even apologizing to Rhen at one point.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Jerk]]: Lydia. She's very much an [[Alpha Bitch]] and a [[Rich Bitch]], but she ''does'' help the party save the world, so she has some good qualities, right? Wrong, {{spoiler|by "The Lost Orb" she's become even worse by usurping Edward's throne and freeing the genocidal ex-vampire Gyendal.}}
* [[Left Hanging]]: By the time chapter 1 of ''Aveyond 3'' ends, there are still plenty of loose ends that cannot be resolved until chapter 2.
** All the released chapters in Aveyond 3, really.
Line 80:
* [[Noble Demon]]:
** Te'ijal in ''Aveyond 1'' and especially ''Aveyond 3''; though she considers humans inferior and her prey, she joins the party and helps save the world, opposing every other vampire and her own brother at times.
** Yemite the darkling in ''Aveyond 3''. {{spoiler|She serves Mel's wishes, [[My Master, Right or Wrong|no matter if Mel wants her to do good or do evil]].}}
* [[Non -Action Guy]]: Ean at the beginning of ''Aveyond 2''.
* [[Nonstandard Game Over]]: You get this around the beginning of the game if you have Talia lie to her grandmother about what Avrail told her.
* [[Not Quite Dead]]:
Line 92:
* [[Pamphlet Shelf]]
* [[Prequel]]: ''Ahriman's Prophecy''
* [[Rags to Royalty]]: This happens to Devin between ''Ahriman's Prophecy'' and ''Aveyond 1'' [[Cinderella (Literaturenovel)|Cinderella]] style. Also for {{spoiler|Rhen is sort of a [[Sleeping Beauty]] example, but without the sleeping part when she finds out she's the long lost princess of Thais}}.
** And to add that this can happen to Mel or Stella if the player chooses to have either one of them engaged to Edward.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Jack from ''Ahriman's Prophecy'' is over 200 years old by the time Ean and the rest of the party in ''Aveyond 2'' free him from the stone statue curse that he was placed under despite the fact that he's physically fourteen. Also Galahad after ''Aveyond 1'' and Te'ijal are respectively 337 and 831 years old despite their appearance.
Line 100:
* [[Save the Princess]]: ''Ahriman's Prophecy'' where Princess Alicia is kidnapped by Zorom and Devin and Talia have to save her.
* [[Shareware]]: All of the installments save for ''Ahriman's Prophecy.''
* [[Sibling Yin -Yang]]: As of TDP, Uma and Nox fit this trope to a T.
** Let's not forget Gyendal and Te'ijal (yes, they ARE siblings), especially since they're of opposite genders. You can't get more Yin-Yang than that! Gyendal is an evil human-hating mage who is weak in physical combat and Te'ijal is a non-magical tough melee fighter who finds humans fascinating and at least good enough to not be counted a villain.
* [[Sliding Scale of Silliness Versus Seriousness]]: Towards the silly end. As an example, militant ''[[Everythings Nuttier With Squirrels|squirrels]]'' show up in every game so far.
Line 118:
* [[We Buy Anything]]
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: {{spoiler|Ahriman offers this to Rhen before the final battle.}}
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Edward's parents will pull this on him if he marries Lydia {{spoiler|again, after she (possibly) tricked him into marrying her and usurped his throne}}.
* [[Winter Royal Lady]]: The Snow Queen.
* [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]]: Uma, Aveyond 3, and possibly Iya from Aveyond 2.
* [[Wicked Witch]]: All of the the witches in the series fit this trope including Heptitus.
** Not quite all. There was a witch in Aveyond 3 who'd rather be a priestess.
