Line 1: {{work}} {{outdated}} ~~----~~ This page refers to the ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]/[[Ah! My Goddess]]/[[Ranma ½]]'' fanfic by Luke "Thrythlind" Green, not [[Divine Blood (novels)\|the novel series]] the author has inspun ~~deveolpment~~off around the original characters from this story. ---- Line 10: {{quote\|''"[[Dramatic Irony\|This looks like a safe neighborhood.]]"''\|Ranma Satomi on arriving in the neighborhood of [[Full Metal Panic!\|Jindai High]].}} Like so many other fics by ~~[[Tropers/~~Luke "Thrythlind~~\|Thrythlind]]~~" Green, this was started merely by an idle “what if” statement that consisted of “what if Ranma Saotome had children by the Gods?”. The first elements were posted in mid-August on the Maximum Adventure. The prologue, chapter one and some of chapter two were written between then and late January of 2007, after which time it sat untouched until picked up again in June 2009. As of ~~2009,~~Summer ~~recently~~2014 ~~reaching~~it ~~its~~is incomplete at [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5175006/1/Divine_Blood ~~48th~~51 ~~chapter~~chapters]. The plot is that [[Classical Mythology\|Zeus and Poseidon]] are arguing over whose bloodline is strongest by comparing their children's accomplishments. A third deity, Hecate, appeared and noted that neither could compare their bloodlines because they had not yet sired [[Half-Human Hybrid\|children]] on the same woman. She suggested a bet and offered herself to serve as a fill in for her father Hades, since he was unlikely to care about such a bet, or approve. Line 16: The object of the bet is [[Ranma ½\|Ranma Saotome]], who ends up [[Rape as Backstory\|kidnapped from Japan and abandoned in Greece]]. The story then skips seventeen years to Ranma Satomi (a European misspelling of her name that she’s adopted to avoid attention) deciding to return to Japan after raising her children for seventeen years, during which she has acted as a [[Action Girl\|freelance mercenary]] and exorcist. Ranma avoids Nerima, not wanting to go right to her old home just yet, and [[Ah! My Goddess\|Nekomi]], due to sensing something similar to her attackers there. Instead she arrives at Jindai High, her children starting school the same day as [[Full Metal Panic!\|Sousuke Sagara]]. In addition to the chapters on [[Fanfiction.net]], the story [https://web.archive.org/web/20060430031327/http://addventure.bast-enterprises.de/authors/Thrythlind.html can be found] in episodic form on the [[Anime Addventure]], with material that appears to be more recent than the FF.Net copy. And, as noted above, a [[Divine Blood (novels)\|series of novels]] [[Ascended Fanfic\|based on the fanfic]]—with a series of [[Expy\|expies]] replacing the characters from other sources—is available from Amazon.com and other outlets. ~~----~~ ''Note: A careful look will show that most of the entries here were added by me, Thrythlind, and that it has been added to with even more frequency than I add to my original works. This is because I often use this as a sort of self-evaluation/accounting of what has or has not happened in the story. I always like it when somebody else posts an entry, because they often find something that I didn't think of, but I like having a place to go that has all the characterizations and tropes I've used so far because it makes for a handy tool for maintaining consistency in my story.'' ---- {{tropelist}} * [[Abusive Parents]]: Bit character Illujanka was a terrible mother to her daughter Rene. Rene's [[Heroic Sacrifice]], which was preceded by Rene apologizing to her mother for being a failure, being continuously replayed on the news leads to Illujanka having a massive [[Heel Realization]]. {{quote\| '''Illujanka:''' Her name was Rene. She was born nine months after Woodstock. Her father was a human who died in a car accident I was too drunk or high to see coming. She was the only daughter I had in ten thousand years of life and the last thing I said to her before those bastards attacked us was that she'd never amount to anything... And they keep playing her apologizing to me.}} * [[Actor Allusion]]: Janet Frasier is one of Kodachi Kuno's victims. ** Frank Simmons, a character played by [[Star Trek: The Next Generation\|John DeLancie]], starts acting very full of himself {{spoiler\|after being mutated by Leonard Testarossa}}. * [[Adaptational Badass]]: Eija whenever dealing with a dead soul * [[A God Am I]]: Averted. {{quote\| '''Tessa''':At least they're not accusing me of trying to become a God.~~<br />~~ '''Mardukas''' Isn't that exactly what you did?~~<br />~~ '''Tessa''':I really hope not. }} ** Played Straight with {{spoiler\|Frank Simmons being mutated by Leonard. However, he was quickly curb stomped.}} Line 40 ⟶ 38: * [[And Man Grew Proud]]: {{spoiler\|The Demons with the KT event and the Gods with the first Demon-God war}} * [[Another Dimension]]: Three major ones and implied several minor ones, all artificially created pocket universes. Nifelheim is an [[Fire and Brimstone Hell\|overpopulated and sulfur-filled pocket dimension]] originally designed as an emergency refuge to survive the aftermath of the KT event. * It semi-matches the fire and brimstone type hell because by the time they finished it, Demons had altered themselves to better survive a mild version of such an atmosphere. Asgard is a [[Fluffy Cloud Heaven\|vast, arboreal world]] designed for long-term habitation and self-sustainability. Line 63 ⟶ 61: {{spoiler\|Naiki and Eija appear to save Lusca and Kyoko from enemy Demons, though that was partially a summoning.}} ** {{spoiler\|Ryouga saves Kasumi and company in chapter 45}} * [[~~Big~~Non ~~Lipped~~Sequitur ~~Alligator Moment~~Scene]]: In-universe example, for the lovers that Aphrodite used as a warp point. From their perspective, a quartet of scantily clad Greek goddesses randomly appear, accuse the man of infidelity, and leave. The woman, now shocked that the man she's with is already married, then leaves as well. The man is thoroughly confused and doesn't realize he got off easy considering the goddesses included Hera. * [[Blank Slate]]: Shichimu Ni, whose [[Shoot the Dog\|memories were wiped]] in trying to prevent {{spoiler\|Kodachi from claiming her body.}} This hardens Kurz's resolve to eliminate the {{spoiler\|memetic parasite Kodachi}}. * [[Boldly Coming]]: The approach of the Gods and Demons toward humans in the early days. * [[Catch Phrase]]: {{quote\| '''Naiki''': ''A Violent, tumultuous, overwhelming flow.'' ~~<br />~~ '''Also Naiki''': ''Wait...''~~<br />~~ '''Deimosu''': ''Twelve''.~~<br />~~ '''Lusca''': ''That's not funny.''~~<br />~~ '''Also Lusca''': ''SQUEEE!''~~<br />~~ '''Sousuke''': ''Affirmative.''~~<br />~~ '''Eija''': ''No, really.'' }} * [[Cloning Blues]]: {{spoiler\|Kodachi's "daughters", some of them she [[The Virus\|hijacks their body for her own]].}} Line 78 ⟶ 76: * [[Combat Tentacles]]: Used by Kraken. Verges on [[Naughty Tentacles]]. * [[Complexity Addiction]]: Mizuki spent three months working on a plan to get her an extra two weeks to finish her summer homework. Which means that she started work on this plan ''two months'' before the homework was assigned. {{quote\| '''Kaname:''' You were planning this before you ever got assigned the homework?~~<br />~~ '''Mizuki:''' Yeah.~~<br />~~ '''Sousuke:''' Why didn't you just do the homework?~~<br />~~ '''Mizuki:''' I was busy putting the whole smoke bomb thing together! }} ** She has just been revealed to be planning to sabotage a power station to cause a blackout and wreck the grading machines of the college she goes to so she can retake the entry exams - two ''years'' from now. Again, the thought of using all that time to meet the academic goal in question legitimately never occurred to her. Line 109 ⟶ 107: * [[Foreshadowing]]: The fate of Kodachi after Ranma disappeared, with reports of her whereabouts dismissed due to [[Refuge in Audacity]], even for Nerima standards. ** {{spoiler\|Kasumi commenting on God and Demon dietary requirements.}} {{quote\| {{spoiler\|'''Kasumi''': "Hmm, I shall have to attend to figuring out what is best to serve such guests then. It would not do to dishonor her comrades by accidentally poisoning them."}}}} * [[Functional Magic]]: Most powers are psychic/psionic abilities, Magic is expressly stated to be the act of borrowing a power that is inherent to another being for your own ends. * [[Gambit Pileup]]: Expect this to happen as the conflicts between gods, demons, and the rebels in both groups spill unto the already tense situation between NATO, the Warsaw Pact, MITHRIL, and Amalgam. Line 117 ⟶ 115: * [[Hero of Another Story\|Heroes of Another Story]]: Stargate universe characters are being used to staff the United States military's version of Psyche division, which is called "Socrates Group". * [[Heart Is an Awesome Power]]: In another omake by AYH, Dionysus has the power to turn water into wine. The human body is made of 70 percent water, and Dionysus exploits that fact to give an Amalgam strike force instant alcohol poisoning. {{quote\| '''Dionysus''':These men should be out for several hours at the least, and most will require liver transplants afterwards.}} ** {{spoiler\|Shichimu Ni using Clairvoyance and the ability to make herself hallucinate to kill at least eleven confirmed of Kodachi's bodies.}} * [[Heroic Sacrifice]] Line 144 ⟶ 142: ** Also note, that despite the original method to acquire immortality {{spoiler\|an unintended side effect for achieving something else}} that this is a natural facet of life for Gods, Demons and the as yet unnamed human immortals. * [[Insistent Terminology]]: The species of Gods and Demons were named such by the humans. {{quote\| '''Morrigan''': I've never claimed to be the Creator of the universe. We started to interact with you, and you called us 'God'. Eventually we just kept having to respond to that and it became the name of the species. As far as I am concerned, the definition of 'God' is my species. And since I am a member of my species, I am not a false god.}} * [[Interspecies Romance]] Keiichi and Belldandy (of course) Line 151 ⟶ 149: Hints of this in Moloch's speaking to Wraith * [[I Owe You My Life]]: Kraken, to Naiki. Combined with the fact that Naiki was already indebted to Kraken for a spell she used to result in [[Looney Tunes\|Pepe lePew]] level [[Stalker with a Crush]]. * [["It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It"]]: Very, ''very'' averted with Zeus. * [[Lady Land]]: Gods and demons have much higher populations of females than they do males due to the existence of parthenogenesis spells. The initial reason is implied to be that millions of years of intermittent war between Gods and Demons was hard an the male of the species, implying that female soldiers and the like developed as more of the men died or were sealed. Line 170 ⟶ 168: Zeus does this as part of his normal thing. * [[Mood Whiplash]]: Rollercoasters through slice of life, horror, action, romance, drama, tragedy and comedy. * [[Mundane Utility]]: Yaku uses the supercomputer she found in the Labyrinth to play [[~~Starcraft~~StarCraft]]. Can also be applied to her using her super genius to undoubtedly port the game to a [[Ragnarok Proofing\|2000+ year old computer]] and hook it to the modern internet. * [[Naughty Tentacles]]: Kraken, although its ostensibly been [[Combat Tentacles]] each time so far- she does uses them for combat ''in the most rape-like way possible''. ** Kraken's crush Naiki has just been introduced to this trope. She finds it disturbingly fascinating. Line 190 ⟶ 188: * [[Numerical Theme Naming]]: Kodachi's girls: the Ichi's, Ni's, San's, Yon's and Go's * [[Older and Wiser]]: Many of Ranma's [[True Companions]] (except for the Kunos). Akane's in the Japanese navy, and married to Ryuu Kumon, who was adopted to the Saotome clan. Mousse gave up on Shampoo. Ryoga seems to have mellowed out. * [[Omake]]: A [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6906181/1/ crossover omake], with [[~~Nobody Dies (Fanfic)\|~~Nobody Dies]]. * [[Online Alias]]: Skuld goes online by the name ChibiHammer, and has a rep of blowing up other people computers. * [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Well almost. {{spoiler\|Nodoka knew what happened to Ranma, but didn't let anyone else know, due to her concepts of honor. This nearly costs Nabiki's life as she gets caught in the Chinese Civil War looking for Ranma.}} Line 199 ⟶ 197: ** Tessa-Naiki-Mara * [[Parental Abandonment]]: {{spoiler\|After the assault by the gods, Ranma calls for her mother for comfort. Instead, she gets judged for dishonoring the clan, told to commit suicide, and then left high and dry. Ranma almost did got through the suicide, but she then learned [[Good Girls Avoid Abortion\|that she was pregnant.]]}} * [[Psychic Link]]: [[Full Metal Panic!]]'s Resonance, extended in this fanfic to allow Gods and Demons to also make these connections. {{spoiler\|It is however [[Blessed with Suck]] as the connected minds [[Hive Mind\|may merge into one.]] This is why Eija became a full God and Naiki a half god, half demon, as it was to prevent them, along with Kaname and Tessa, from [[Loss of Identity\|losing their identities]]. However, this allows for Kaname and Tessa via the [[Psychic Link]] to see process of turning humans into gods/demons, and using that to construct a machine that will at least remove the downside of Resonance, with the bonus of making Whispered equivalents to the gods and demons.}} * [[Psychic Nosebleed]]: Sort of, psychic stress and attacks bursts blood vessels, but this usually causes internal bleeding in the body. So far, the more serious instances have been head-related, but it's just as likely that a massive psychic attack would burst the vessels in the lungs and cause the victim to drown in their own blood. No actually nosebleed has happened yet. * [[Puny Earthlings]]: Those belonging in Hecate's camp think of humanity in this way. Line 236 ⟶ 234: * [[Xanatos Roulette]]: Hecate's {{spoiler\|doomed}} plan. * [[You're Not My Father]]: Naiki says this to Poseidon, her biological father, in an canon omake written by AYH. * [[You Owe Me]]: How casting spells invoking demons works (for Gods its a matter of psychic paperwork to get permission). It rarely ends pleasantly for the caster,<ref>Naiki</ref>, ''even when the demon you invoked was on your side''. {{reflist}} [[Category:Troper Works]] [[Category:Divine Blood]]▼ [[Category:Fanfic]] ▲[[Category:Divine Blood]] [[Category:Crossover Fanfic]]
