Stop me if you've heard this one before...
''Becoming Human'' is a [[The BBC|BBC]] [[Supernatural Soap Opera]] created by Toby Whithouse. The protagonists are a [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire]], a [[Wolf Man|wolfgirl]], and a timid ghost who is uncertain about the circumstances of his death. Wait, that sounds suspiciously like the premise of [[Being Human (
Good, because it should. ''Becoming Human'' is -- to describe it in a sentence -- the [[High School AU]] of ''[[Being Human (
So far, ''Becoming Human'' is playing out like an online interactive game, with various clues to be found in different posts made on the blog.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: [[Gender Flip
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: Matt to Christa.
* [[Almighty Janitor]]: [[The Stinger]] reveals the caretaker is perfectly aware of the supernatural goings-on in the school.
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Brandy Mulligan/Crompton.
* [[The Atoner]]: Adam.
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Adam sees this between himself and Christa. Could be joking, but going by his personality, he's probably perfectly serious.
* [[British Education System]]: The setting ''is'' a school.
* [[The Bully]]: Danny Curtis to Matt when he was living.
* [[Compulsory School Age]]: Played with. Adam looks 16, so by British law can be out of school. However, he chooses to go back and, for once, take it seriously and gain some qualifications.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Both Adam and Christa have varying levels.
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Adam. Christa lampshades this in the ARG that half the things he says to the girls, if he looked his chronological age, would get him arrested.
* [[Disco Dan]]: Adam, in some of the references he makes. {{spoiler|Well, he is 46. He would have been turned around 1981}}.
Line 34 ⟶ 35:
* [[Fake Video Camera View]]: Some of the uploads on the site are videos taken by the characters from a mobile phone.
* [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire]]: Again, Adam. He's actually doing fairly well, all things considered.

* [[Goth]]: Christa. Her inner monologue implies it's a fairly recent change.
* [[Haunted Headquarters]]
* [[High School AU]]: Could essentially be described as this for ''Being Human''.
* [[Legal Jailbait]]: Adam is said to be stuck in a 16 year old body, but is chronologically 46, and the actor is 20.
** Not that it matters, since 16 is the age of consent in the UK.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Arguable. It certainly isn't as dark as ''[[Being Human (
* {{spoiler|[[Love Triangle]]: Matt fancies Christa. Adam ''possibly'' fancies her too.}}
* [[Masquerade]]
* [[Monster Mash]]
* [[New Transfer Student]]: Adam is essentially this.
