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 of 2009, recently reaching its [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5175006/1/Divine_Blood 48th chapter]. 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. The object of the bet is [[Ranma ~~One Half~~½\|Ranma Saotome]], who ends up [[Rape Asas 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 ~~(Manga)~~\|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.'' ~~''So, yeah, I use tvtropes as a public plot map. Not sure if that's the intended use or not.''~~ ---- {{tropelist}} ~~'''Tropes Found In Divine Blood:'''~~ * [[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 ~~too~~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~~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 44 ⟶ 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 67 ⟶ 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 82 ⟶ 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. * [[Crossover]]: Ranma 1/2, Full Metal Panic and Ah My Goddess with lots of references to other series * [[Cursed ~~With~~with Awesome]]: Eija has the ability to see how a person has dealt with death, perceiving deaths inflicted by a person as splotches of red on their body. If the person highly enjoys it she sees the blood work into their body. This lets her detect dangerous people. Also, she can see how death hangs over a person so that she can tell how healthy they are. Very useful abilities, but Eija really hates seeing the blood on her own and her family's hands, so she actively suppresses this most of the time. ** {{spoiler\|Literally with Zeus, who is cursed to be killed by one of his children. Anybody that tries to kill him who isn't one of his children tends to have things go badly for them. He's used this curse to pretty much trample over anybody else that gets in his way.}} * [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?]]: A telepathic variant that describes the amount of control Naiki has over her internal chatter...much to Tessa's both use and annoyance. Line 98 ⟶ 92: {{spoiler\|Kishimo-jin}} {{spoiler\|Persephone has a Dying Moment of Heart Warming.}} ** {{spoiler\|Aphrodite's [[Out ~~With~~with a Bang]] attack on the rebel God leadership.}} * [[Expecting Someone Taller]]: Tessa gets a lot of this, [[Mistaken for Servant\|being mistaken as the secretary.]] * [[Fan Nickname]]: Lusca Kraken --> Cthulhu-chan (first heard by author in IM and then used by him in comments) Line 113 ⟶ 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 121 ⟶ 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 130 ⟶ 124: {{spoiler\|"Illujanka's daughter, Rene", introed and killed in one episode, got herself killed in the Abyss's lockdown procedures to get most of the Demonic civilians to safety in the prison.}} {{spoiler\|Batiste pushes Eija out of the way of the bomb he set off.}} ** {{spoiler\|Aphrodite's [[Out ~~With~~with a Bang]] [[Dying Moment of Awesome]] gambit to delay the rebel God leadership, and kill several of them while also getting Hera, Daio Chan, Erzuli, Freya and Benten out of the line of fire.}} * [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: {{spoiler\|Kaname and Eija are in love with each other as well as Sousuke. Their love for each other, however, is not sexual love and both get rather disturbed when Mizuki implies they might have kissed each other with tongue.}} * [[Holding Back the Phlebotinum]]: Kaname would have in been in line for ascending, but Tessa wanted to investigate the mystery of the "ghost" who wants Kaname's body first. {{spoiler\|Thus when it came for Kaname's upgrade to Ainur, Tessa timed it with the activation of the new Silmaril computer.}} * [[Honor Before Reason]]: {{spoiler\|Nodoka, but in this case, she takes this into a [[Lawful Stupid]] direction, seeing that she thinks [[Honor-Related Abuse\|a raped daughter is a stain on the clan]], which can only be resolved with [[Seppuku]].}} * [[Humanity Is Infectious]]: Another main point of contention between old and modern Demons and Gods. Demons and Gods altered themselves genetically to better fit in with humanity and also started taking time to study their culture. The result, several implications of [[Becoming the Mask~~\|becoming the mask~~]] were the Demons and Gods have started taking up human culture honestly. * [[Important Haircut]]: Main one is where {{spoiler\|Kaname, Eija and Sousuke decide on their official [[Triang Relations]] situation}} A lesser one involves Skuld losing a bet that requires her to dye her hair pink for a year. Line 148 ⟶ 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 154 ⟶ 148: Eija and Kaname, assuming [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] count ** 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~~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 161 ⟶ 155: * [[Les Yay]]: Mostly from Naiki {{spoiler\|subverted in that Naiki has mostly been hitting on or flirting with straight girls}} ** Kaname has a habit of using the image of a sexily dressed Eija as window dressing in her fantasies. * [[Locking MacGyver in ~~The~~the Store Cupboard]]: Done to Skuld. [[Hilarity Ensues]]. * [[Loveable Sex Maniac]]: Naiki...again {{spoiler\|subverted in that Naiki is a virgin}} * [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Several, mostly Manipulative Bitches though * [[Mental Affair]]: This is a facet of sex with the Immortal races, it remains to be seen whether or not this requires physical contact, heavy emotional connections or both between the participants. ** There are [[Unfortunate Implications]] of this relating to Ranma's [[Mind Rape\|encounter with]] [[Rape Asas Backstory\|the Gods]]. * [[Minored in Asskicking]]: Eija who really dislikes actual battle but is fairly competent at it * [[Mind Hug]]: {{spoiler\|Eija, Persephone and Hel getting Sophia to crossover.}} Line 174 ⟶ 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 194 ⟶ 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 203 ⟶ 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~~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. * [[Rape Asas Backstory]]: Ranma's first brush with the Gods, with their intention of having her [[Child Byby Rape\|bear their children]]. * [[Reincarnation]]: The Gods and Demons have a practice of sealing the majority of their memories and reliving childhood anew. This was initially a tool for better understanding humanity but has since become a question of ideology. ** The modern Gods and Demons who are in charge of Heaven and Hell have done this so regularly that they see this as a necessary facet of a physically immortal life and [[Immortality Immorality\|that not doing so is detrimental to the sanity.]] Line 220 ⟶ 214: * [[Sex Dressed]]: {{spoiler\|Kaname, Eija and Sousuke do a lousy job at hiding what's up with them. Between Kaname and Eija's [[Clothing Switch]] and Sousuke's lipstick stains, pretty much everybody on Atlantis knows by now.}} * [[Shout-Out Theme Naming]]: comments indicate that humanity's Chi computer will be named Silmaril to go along with Mithril's Tolkien theme. In the far future when they make their own alternate dimension, it's likely to be called either Gondolin, Imladris or Lothlorien. * [[Shout-Out]]: An earlier incarnation of the Goddess Morrigan is responsible for nearly driving the [[Darkstalkers ~~(Video Game)~~\|succubus race]] into extinction. * [[Spanner in ~~The~~the Works]]: {{spoiler\|Humanity via the Whispered in developing [[Humongous Mecha]] and the Lambda Drive, which Hecate [[Didn't See That Coming\|didn't see coming]].}} * [[Squee]]: Lusca's native language. * [[Stalker ~~With~~with a Crush]]: Kraken, to Naiki. * [[They Do]]: Keiichi and Belldandy, and this is the first official interspecies marriage between any of the humanoids, despite the existance of half-breeds. They quickly become [[Insatiable Newlyweds]]. * [[The Unmasqued World]]: {{spoiler\|Refugees of gods and demons appear on Earth en-mass, with one group in Canada massacred by the rebels. Time will tell how humanity will react.}} * [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Tessa and Naiki mostly. ** Eija and Kaname as well, though the girly one is the more combat capable in this case. * [[Touched Byby Vorlons]]: Ranma's Psyche file mentions one inborn power, increased bio-energy production, several powers gained through training and almost as many acquired by exposure to supernatural beings and effects. At an early point in the fic, she makes a mental implication that her rape and subsequent pregnancy tipped the scale so that many of those exposure based abilities finally came out. ** To some extent, any mortal converted to an immortal, of any of the three races, can be considered this as well. * [[Triang Relations]]: {{spoiler\|Type 8, Kaname and Eija love Sousuke and are sexually attracted to him, Sousuke loves and is sexually attracted to both, Kaname and Eija love each other but are not sexually attracted to each other. Though their [[Psychic Link]] makes things interesting for one when the other is getting with Sousuke.}} Line 240 ⟶ 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]]
