Line 17:
* '''Holden''': For a long time the leader of the scientists, Holden was a major [[Jerkass]] who delighted in picking on and abusing the city. Eventually it was discovered that he had orchestrated the entire Hollisland Invasion, and he was banished from Discedo by Q and Knowlton.
** [[Jerkass]]
** [[Put Onon a Bus]]
** [[Smug Snake]]
* '''Ace''': One of the original scientists, Ace was the friendliest and could often be found in the city, interacting with other residents and granting their requests.
** [[Friendly Enemy]]: In a sense, since the scientists are generally thought of by the player characters as the bad guys of the game. Ace, however, was known as "Sweet One" and was friendly with many until she was [[Put Onon a Bus]].
* '''Q''': A newer scientist, Q arrived in Discedo a year ago after having been traveling elsewhere. For a while she was Holden's lackey, but then stood against him when she discovered his goals, taking on the leadership role himself. She's quiet, but wants a good relationship with the residents, and wants to help them in any way that she can.
** [[Beware the Nice Ones]]
** [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]: Her real name is Quintessa.
** [[Smarter Than You Look]]: Or at least a lot more competent.
** [[Took a Level In Badass]]: The unanimous reaction to Q shooting Holden: woah.

=== Others ===
* '''Thomas Knowlton''': A man from Hollisland, a country across the world and Discedo's old enemy. Dying of the Atropos virus he came to Discedo in search of the cure for himself and his companions, desperately killing [[House (TV series)|Cuddy]] and holding others hostage. In the end, he fell victim to the disease, but was spared by the city. After his recovery, he spent some time in jail before breaking free and allying himself with his former enemy, Q.
** [[Australian Accent|Kiwi Accent]]
** [[Character Development]]: Was originally meant to be a one-shot character, killed off after a few days.
Line 49:
** [[Butt Monkey]]: Molly's favorite person to torment.
** [[Dead All Along]]: Is also a ghost.
** [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]: Referred to as "Sparkles" constantly.
 
== Tropes related to the rest of the game. ==
Line 70:
** In chat: "...[[Not What It Looks Like|What did]] [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|I come back to?]]"
** "[[Axis Powers Hetalia|Denmark]] is a ho."
* [[City in Aa Bottle]]: The game's setting for the first two years. Attempts to explore didn't go far, and there were no signs that anyone else survived anywhere else. Then a plane appeared…
* [[City Withwith No Name]]: Discedo has a name, but a surprising amount of landmarks around it—like the lake it rests on—do not.
* [[Clingy MacGuffin]]: The communicators can't be destroyed and always come back if you lose them.
* [[Comm Links]]: The aforementioned communicators.
Line 79:
 
* [[The Empire]]: Played with. Hollisland *was* this… two hundred years ago. Now they're even worse off than Discedo is.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Dinosaurs]]: A running joke in the game is the demand for raptors. In November 2010, players finally got their wish.
* [[Fandom Nod]]: Characters sometimes lampshade various happenings in their canon in-game.
* [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]: Discedo and the surrounding countries are based on Rome/Greece. Hollisland is Germanic (Prussia and The Netherlands).
Line 93:
* [[Literal Genie]]: To an extent. Characters can ask the scientists for items. The scientists often take advantage of ambiguities in the request to mess with them.
* [[Local Hangout]]: The Northern Lights bar is probably this.
* [[Love Triangle]]: There have been several, most notably [[One Piece (Manga)|Zoro]]/[[Magic Knight Rayearth|Umi]]/[[One Piece (Manga)|Sanji]] and [[Suikoden|Tir]]/[[La Corda D Oro|Kazuki]]/[[Persona 4 (Video Game)|Naoto]], both of which lasted months.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: See [[Breather Episode]] above.
* [[Name's the Same]]: But as a [[Mega Crossover]], that's a given.
* [[News Broadcast]]: A weekly news report giving the weather, updates on events, and monster activity. The subject matter is usually serious, but the presentation is rather [[Mood Whiplash|funny]]
* [[Norse Mythology]]: Discedo has had an unusual amount of [[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Norns]], [[Supernatural (TV series)|gods]], and [[Valkyrie Profile|valkyries]] as characters. Of course, the [[Axis Powers Hetalia|Nordics]] enjoy it.
* [[Odd Friendship]]: Par for the course for a [[Mega Crossover]].
* [[Police Are Useless]]: Several attempts to keep a police force running in the city have infamously ended in failure thanks to [[Values Dissonance]] on the part of the characters.
Line 112:
** Pupcats. Finally showed up in physical form in the museum. Similarly, orcas.
** The fucking mistletoe.
** [[Persona 3 (Video Game)|Shinjiro]] being compared to a cactus.
* [[Ship Tease]]: Runs wild during the yearly mistletoe event.
* [[Suspiciously Small Army]]: Justified in that the rest Hollisland was already dead and the 'army' was made up of the few survivors.
* [[Sweet Polly Oliver]]: The game has had several of these over the years.
* [[Sweet Onon Polly Oliver]]: …Leading in several cases to this.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: With the constant drops and re-appings, multiple versions of a character are often seen. Generally, [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|they don't remember their previous stay]]
* [[Trapped in Another World]]: The plot. Some people are used to it.
