[http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen.htm Mortasheen], created by [[
It's now been turned into an [http://scythemantis.deviantart.com/#/d3bixrr RPG]!
Enjoy this sneak preview of tropes and ideas here!
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Bomb]]: [http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/whumpling.htm A] [http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/whumplet.htm fair] [http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/whumplord.htm# few].
* [[Adorable Abomination]]: Played straight in general terms, but inverted in how it's
* [[
** {{spoiler|Further, ARE has discovered that its own AI is a crapshoot, as several of its Celestial Engines have developed odd quirks that ARE finds really weird, ranging from the merely weird- Engines assigning genders to themselves- to the worrisome- like survivor guilt.}}
* [[The Alliance]]: Wreathe's trying to start one in the human nations. Mortasheen can do the same, and not just with the human nations!
* [[Aliens and Monsters]]: The "Unknown" class makes up the aliens, everything else is monsters. Unknown are fantastically odd monsters in the game, capable of tons of status effects, but not very heavy on the damage... except for the [[The Big Guy|Meteor Series]], who reverse the trend.
* [[
** Wreathe considers Mortasheen citizens this.
* [[An Ice Person]]- This power, listed as the Attack Type Cold, is rare, yet not totally unknown. In-game, Cold damage functions as the equivalent of a Neutral damage type, only being resisted by one Class of monsters, though doing extra to Botanicals.
Line 27:
* [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]]: Laverne loves doing this, and in Mortasheen itself, it's considered a totally valid method of advancement.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Humanity! Also deconstructed; the main reason Wreathe is so dangerous is because the humans there are so sick of getting kicked around. The culture there is based on both vengeance against the entire world and utopian society. {{spoiler|Wreathe was secretly started by a supercomputer in Wreathe, which named itself ARE, because it loved humanity and hated seeing it suffer so.}}
* [[Cast
* [[Cloning Blues]]: Averted. Mortasheen views clones as the same person as the original, which is good, because it's teleportation and resurrection systems both rely on quick cloning. So most people in Mortasheen are, in fact, clones. But they still consider themselves to be the original, because they are such a perfect copy. Culturally, it's no more interesting- or looked down upon- than someone drinking tea. Wreathe, meanwhile, finds this horrifying, and refuses to use clones no matter what.
* [[Confusion Fu]]: a Harlequeen seems to act completely randomly, but her random actions always yield brilliant results.
Line 51:
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: Some of the monsters are named like this, and so are some of the chapters.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Used in two ways, one straight, one a variant. Wreathe uses the straight variant, hating all non-humans. Mortasheen, meanwhile, is non-racist- racism being a hilariously inappropriate concept in a city where people change bodies like others change clothes- but they do hate Engineers, whose use of computers and cybernetics makes them seem too close to Wreathe for most people to be comfortable with them.
** Well, Mortasheen ''does'' tend to look down on ordinary, living
* [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]: Medama is Japan, past, present, and future; samurai borg and dueling sit alongside giant robots and other modern conveniences. Otherwise averted; Wreathe, while it resembles many future dystopia/utopia societies, has no direct analogue in the real world, and Mortasheen is even more out there. Cannontown, if you ''really'' stretched it, could be based on American militarism, but are more actively based on survivalist types. [[Crapsack World|Considering where they live, survivalism is not a bad strategy.]]
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: Not only do they exist, they happen every day to lots of undeserving people- but don't worry about that, it's just how it goes! (skipping noises)
Line 108:
* [[Spider Tank]]: Your house can become this, [[Rule of Three|with expense]].
* [[Super Prototype]]: Played with. {{spoiler|The Celestial Engines are all [[Super Prototype]] versions of the normal Purifiers, but only in the sense of inspiring ARE to build the Purifiers. The Engines themselves are unique machines, the Purifiers are only inspired by them, not based. ARE, if it actually ''did'' develop [[Super Prototype]] robots, would simply keep producing them, not use an inferior version.}}
* [[Strong Flesh, Weak Steel]]: Yeah, no. The Purifiers in general have better stats and better damage reduction than the average monster. The few exceptions are legendary monsters like the Destroyers, or monsters that have been highly souped up by their trainers- like the Player Characters.
* [[Synchronized Swarming]]: Swarm attacks, which do this, are some of the best in the game. Why? Because not only do they hit every opponent in every Part, but they also hit mad scientists, even if they are protected by their monsters!
* [[Tank Goodness]]: CannonTown. It's made up of tanks so large that some have ''entire natural parks'' on top of them, along with more practical things like giant drills to dig for water and farms. It's one of the last remaining human civilizations left on the planet, too, and probably the strongest outside Medama and Wreathe.
