{{tropelist}}
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Played backwards. Jack, Mike, Daniel and...Freya?
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Galactic colonization, Faster Than Light Travel, Cloning, Genetic Engineering, Advanced medical science, Sunlight bombs all sit side by side with an early 21st century tech level that has a [[Used Future]] feel, and propaganda in the style of the 1940's and 1950's
* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: Played straight in the main RP and averted in the backstory. The Harbingers were originally manic depressives, but after so many deaths, they literally laugh at the idea of Death.
* [[Back
* [[Badass]]: The Harbingers abilities let them be this in epic proportions.
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: They're also not quite human anymore.
Line 30:
* [[Cosmic Plaything]]: Poor Mike's lifespan is almost never measured in units longer than months.
** He may also be [[The Chew Toy]].
* [[Crap Saccharine World]]: Underneath the cheerful propaganda, seemingly happy people, and abundance of parks and bright colors, the world is under the thumb of a Totalitarian state and always on the brink of [[The End of the World as We Know It]]
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: After detonating the Sunburst bomb, Jack walks past and ignores the Assembly.
** In case tropes have not read the RP, The Assembly are the leaders of the Totalitarian state.
* [[Cruel and Unusual Death]]: Often combined with [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] when a Harbinger kills something in the most epic of ways.
Line 46:
* [[Got Volunteered]]: Some of the Harbingers wound up in the Project this way.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: The Harbingers are this.
** It also helps that thread runner
* [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]]: Jack looks down at the Seed for a brief second. Something indescribably alien looks [[Oh Crap|back]].
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: This doesn't exist
* [[Just a Kid]]: Subverted. Despite Will being 13 and ribbed on it by the other Harbingers, they accept him as one of their own..
Line 53:
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: The Harbingers are media icons. [[Slash Fic]] has been written about them. Cue massive Lampshade hang
* [[Let's Split Up, Gang!]]: It's bound to happen again sometime, even if only for a short while.
* [[Mind Rape]]: Mentioned directly. Apparently, looking at a Heart of Darkness and noticing that it stretches in an infinite number of impossible directions and looks impossibly small at the same time can drive people insane.
* [[Mission Briefing]]: Provided by the perpetually pissed Director.
* [[More Dakka]]: Zach in spades. The guy loves to kill things in as many different ways as possible.
Line 60:
* [[Only Mostly Dead]]: So a Harbinger loses their head, they'll just be cloned and ready to go again.
** They're also [[Not Quite Dead]].
* [[Oh Crap]]: Think Prime would the staging point for a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]? Think again.
* [[Romance Sidequest]]: Mike and Freya. In spades.
* [[Start of Darkness]]: Everyone knows this thread is the start of it for poor Will.
