[http://mdalchemist.darkbb.com/ Modern Day Alchemist] is a [[Play By Post Game]] set in [[Exactly What It Says
Each of the countries have [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture|real world equivalents]]. Amestris is Germany, Drachma is [[Glorious Mother Russia|Soviet Russia]], Carraig is Ireland/Switzerland, Creta is England, Aerugo is Japan, Xing is China, the Ciel Dominion is a conglomerate of Italy/Scandinavia/Canada/Austrailia and Esparia is the Hispanic nations tossed together.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Affably Evil]]: Ayden Derocha and Aurelius count as some, they certainly know how to charm their way through the masses, while murdering them at the same time.
Line 13:
* [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]]: That's how RIOTE, the resident anti-villain organization, popped up. In a blaze of explosions and an announcement to Amestrians and the alchemists by Aurelius, after a betrayal by the Fuhrer Hild and some explosions in some major Amestrian cities, such as Central City, and even the President's palace.
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: Anyone who holds a position of power usually got it because of their ability.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Anyone else who holds a position of power without establish how [[Badass]] their character is, becomes this. The Generals of Amestris fulfill this trope AND the one above. How, you ask? They kicked enough ass to get their positions, and [[Four
* [[Badass]]: Just about everyone on this forum who can hold their own in a [[Crapsack World|world filled with chaos]], [[Omniscient Council of Vagueness|multiple organizations]] [[The Syndicate|and/or]] [[Nebulous Evil Organisation|nations trying to control the world.]]
* [[Barehanded Blade Block]]: Nearly every character with automail, some form of bodily enhancement, many homonculi, and those who catch swords.
* [[Barrier
* [[Big Eater]]: Salazar Masu or 'Sal', otherwise known as the Homunculus 'Gluttony.'
* [[Body Count Competition]]: Without a doubt, Hei and Nikolaus in their many attempts to outdo each other as bitter rivals.
Line 24:
** Anyone who uses Alkahestry could possibly be [[The Medic]], but more often than not, those who can use Alkahestry can usually kick a fair amount of ass.
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: Lots of it
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Oh dear lord. WHERE DO WE EVEN BEGIN? Let's start with [[Drinking
* [[Crazy Survivalist]]: Alisa Donnikova tends to plan to survive most incidents, and gets out of things that would be exceptionally difficult to survive with little to no worries.
* [[Fundraiser Carnival]]: An entire arc of the story was based around one of these. Ended with an {{spoiler|[[Do Not Touch the Funnel Cloud|F4 Tornado]], the fairground being razed, a fight on top of a Ferris Wheel, and loads more FUN! [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons|And a Dragon]] . . . Okay, a [[Our Dragons Are Different|Draconian Chimera]], but still.}}
* [[Hardboiled Detective]]: [[Film Noir|Menoitos]], though he tends to suffer [[Cuteness Overload]] whenever within [[Cuteness Proximity|sight of a kitty]]!!
* [[Hates Being Touched]]: Isabella Galicia will most likely force a pole of some kind through some place if you touch her. Please don't touch her.
Line 33:
** Anyone with sufficient amounts of [[Artificial Limbs|automail]] can play this trope straight. [[Combat Sadomasochist|Hei Bai/Jin]] is slowly going insane enough that getting shot is starting to feel comforting . . . but he's too much of an [[Implacable Man]] to be taken down by even {{spoiler|a blast of [[Shock and Awe|LIGHTNING from Spade!]]}} At least, [[Hope Spot|not for too]] [[Oh Crap|long]]
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Present and alive. Brigadier General Tataki Masu is an Amestrian example. The others are from Aerugo. (And elsewhere.)
** ''[[Sharpened to
* [[Kill It
* [[Kill It
* [[King Arthur]]: Not just a reference, Sablya actually BELIEVES herself to be a reincarnation of King Arthur. She even has the swords and everything.
* [[
* [[Large Ham]]: Jet Black tends to make the occasional speech. No, he tends to make a LOT of occasional speeches. EVERY. TIME. HE. SPEAKS.
** Arguably, anyone who makes a speech in the latest mission concerning RIOTE's re-emergence to power in Drachma: They're usually long-winded motivational speeches from people on '''ALL THE SIDES IN THE WAR'''. It's gotten to the point that the event has been called "MISSION: [[Braveheart]]" as an in-joke by members.

* [[Little Miss Badass]]: [[Badass Adorable|little]] [[The Archer|Nyx.]] [[Tyke Bomb|Cute little Nyx.]] [[Troubling Unchildlike Behavior|Little Nyx who has the power]] [[Person of Mass Destruction|to perform devastating]] [[Blessed
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Not just in terms of individuals members. But sometimes, even one cast of characters to a single member gets ridiculously large.
* [[Magnetic Hero]]: This is taken completely literally by Daigoro Ito, who is not only a general hero of the story, but manipulates the magnetic field of objects as his Alchemy.
Line 59:
* [[Troubling Unchildlike Behaviour]]: NIN definitely fits on this one. She is only six years old and in her first appearance, she stunned two policemen, took their weapons, robbed a store (killing two workers in the process) and then, as she was making her getaway, she killed two of the cops and injured a third one. And now she's in [[Yakuza]].
* [[Tyke Bomb]]: Hei Bai and Nikolaus are two of the more well known ones from Father's many programs to breeding the perfect minions.
** [[Oh Crap|It's actually even]] [[It Got Worse|worse.]] [[Elite Mooks|Both of them,]] [[Badass Army|among dozens of others were]] [[Super Soldier|specifically designed and trained]] [[Omnicidal Maniac|to practically kill]] [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|anything]] [[Improbable Aiming Skills|that]] [[Made of Iron|comes]] [[Gun Fu|in]] [[Functional Magic|their]] [[Pyromaniac|way]] [[More Dakka|by]] [[Implausible Fencing Powers|any]] [[Charles Atlas Superpower|means]] [[Walking Armory|pos]][[BFS|sib]][[BFG|le.]] The best part?

* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: When Aurelius plans for something, [[Crazy Prepared|he plans for everything]]. If his plans fail, it was [[All According to Plan|"all a part of his plans"]] anyway.
