Starting out as [[Celestial Eruption]] back in 2006 on Invisionfree, Celestial Refresh is a statistical [[Play -By -Post Games|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]]. [[Fish Out of Temporal Water|Many don't take this]] [[Crap Saccharine World|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.

{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes related to CRRP: ===
 
== Story/In character tropes ==
* [[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 [[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|Hyrule]] and [[Sonic the Hedgehog|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
Line 16:
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: The last battle in the [[Zombie Apocalypse]] arc takes place on the forum proper, with the opponents being photobucket pictures and {{spoiler|zombified versions of certain Cbox personalities}}.
** Deadpool obviously.
* [[Crap Saccharine World]]: Many people that were pure and innocent have been turned jaded, and many places like the [[Mario|Mushroom]] and [[Mario and& Luigi: Superstar Saga (Video Game)|BeanBean]] Kingdoms have been overrun by [[Driven to Madness|Insanity]] and [[Disgaea|Demons]], respectively.
* [[Dark World]]: Natch.
* [[Darkest Hour]]: {{spoiler|NO is certainly going through one, with the destruction of their main HQ and the death of their leader, [[Fable (Videovideo Gamegame series)|Sparrow]].}}
* [[Death Is Cheap]]: The penalty for death is spending two weeks in a Diablo-based Netherrealm. And some of the areas in it are actually quite nice and peaceful.
* [[Death Mountain]]: Natch.
Line 30:
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Shadow the Hedgehog attacked people with a door at one point.
** Michael Wilson once [[Fastball Special|threw Amaterasu]] at an enemy.
{{quote| Michael: "SUCK ON MY...WOLF PUNCH!"}}
* [[Inevitable Tournament]]: Some story arcs start with this.
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|[[Fable (Videovideo Gamegame series)|Sparrow]] was recently killed during the assault on the NO HQ, and his player specifically stated that it counted as this.}}
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: Several: [[Fable (Videovideo Gamegame series)|The Crawler]] is a good example, as he was [[Word of God|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.
{{quote| Dag: ARGH, CAN'T KEEP TRACK. <br />
Dag: WHO ARE ALL OF YOU PEOPLE<br />
Dag: [[Hypocritical Humor|STOP SWITCHING MORE THAN I DO]] }}
* [[Mental World]]: The Collective Unconscious.
* [[World of Badass|Multiverse Of Badass]]: Even the [[Token Mini-MoeLoli]] is a force to be reckoned with.
* [[City of Weirdos|Multiverse Of Weirdos]]: No matter what one may look like, they are not the strangest thing the multiverse has to offer.
* [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant]]: [[Fable (Videovideo Gamegame series)|The Crawler]] and [[Ni GHTSNiGHTS Into Dreams|Reala]].
* [[Not Asas You Know Them]]: Several characters, often due to character development.
* [[Ominous Floating Castle]]: Tempest Keep
* [[Restart At Level One]]: All characters suffer this upon entering the Multiverse.
{{quote| "[The Multiversal Drain] takes away all of [a character's] power, but removes any limitations, turning everyone into an over the top [[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]] character."}}
* [[Schizo -Tech]]: Flintlocks and assault rifles and [[Humongous Mecha]], oh my!
** [[Guns Are Worthless|And they all have the same effectiveness!]]
* [[The Chosen One|The Chosen Ones]]: The Savage Tide arc has Tails, the Ardent of Air, Lute, the Forger of Flames, Mia, the Warden of Water, and Mouse, the Envoy of Earth, as chosen guardians of Elemental Crystals. {{spoiler|Mouse has already fallen, however. As has Mia as far as anyone knows.}}
Line 54:
* [[The Tower]]: The Tower of Twilight, which serves as the cultural capital of the entire multiverse.
* [[Arc Welding|Topic Welding]]: The site as a whole generally does this a lot, due to its...''convenient'' time-line.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: {{spoiler|Alan attacking the NO HQ, specifically targeting three of its big name members (all of whom he had been on amiable terms with previously) in order to create a name for his own new faction, killing [[Fable (Videovideo Gamegame series)|Sparrow]] in the process.}}
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Several characters, sometimes lampshaded by characters not used to strange hair colors.
 
Line 61:
* [[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 [[Squick|"Lizardman"]] and "[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Furry Handjob]]" quests are archived for people to read, as far as [[In-Universe|the memberbase is concerned]]. Well that and to torture members.
* [[Brother-Sister Incest]]: "I don't live with my hot sister anymore."
** Result of [[Got Me Doing It]]
*** And by "it" he means his sister.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Dag and Silver. Especially Dag.

'''Flo:''' At least you're not Dag. }}
* [[Corner of Woe]]: Most people on the site have at least one phrase that will leave them crying in the corner.
Line 84:
** Rape is not funny. Rmpe is hilarious.
** BLAZE DID YOU SEE?
** [[Castlevania: Harmony of Despair|SPLASH NEEDLE!]]
** [[Castlevania: Harmony of Despair|CHARLOTTE! CHARLOTTE! CHARLOTTE! CHARLOTTE! CHARLOTTE! CHARLOTTE! CHARLOTTE! CHARLOTTE! CHARLOTTE! CHARLOTTE! CHARLOTTE! CHARLOTTE!]]
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: In-universe case: numerous system changes caused a failed revolt from a [[Troll|select few of the older members.]]
** Also could be considered a case of [[Ruined FOREVER]].
Line 114:
* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: Monsters in quests do not have to abide by the same rules that the PCs do.
* [[Webcomic Time|Questing Time]]: With the occasional [[Lampshade Hanging]] for good measure.
* [[Standard Status Effect]]: Many make their rounds [[Call a Rabbit Aa Smeerp|under different names]]
* [[Universal Poison|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...
