Permaneo Spes

When the darkness invades, their powers shall awaken.

Permaneo Spes is an Axis Powers Hetalia Role Play.

In the beginning, everyone's favorite nations were going about their business ... until the shadows started to move. Some turned into mighty beasts that ravaged the cities; some turned into hands that strangled all they touched; some others still turned out to be real people with real agendas for harming our nations.

To counter the new menace, the nations will receive gifts of incredible powers, from clairvoyance to fire manipulation to phasing through tangible objects.

This page will be divided into four sections; tropes that occur with in the RP itself, things that aren't in the RP but still have to do with the characters/being in-character (ex. the Oregon Trail extravaganzas/any shenanigans that occur when people are in character in the chat), tropes for the players, and predicted tropes. Please try and keep the trope lists as alphabetical as you can.

There are some rules, however: BE NICE in the Player Tropes section. If you don't approve of what someone's troped you as, remove it and then take it up with that person. (Odds are, this shouldn't be necessary.) And in the Predicted Tropes section, PUT IT IN SPOILERS in case you end up being right. Also, LEAVE YOUR NAME in the predictions section. Again, that's in case you end up being right. Feel free to add tropes, but if you want to add a better description to an existing entry, please do so.

One last rule: please use the Nation's country name if you are referring to the player and the Nation's human name if you're talking specifically about that nation. It's just for the sake of organization/avoiding confusion. However, Nations without a canon human name will still have their country name put beside the made-up name.

Tropes used in Permaneo Spes include:

In-Universe Role Play Tropes:

Action Bomb / Why Am I Ticking? - Lovino. However, unlike a Living Bomb, he doesn't always give warning signals before the big boom. Sometimes he just gets really angry and then KABOOM.
Animorphism - Tino, but he only turns into a swan.
Beast Man/Cat Boy - Greece.
Blessed with Suck - Liev (Norway). He can't turn the mind reading off!
Combat Clairvoyance/ Spider Sense - Ivan.
Compelling Voice - Roderich.
Elemental Powers - Characters under here:
- An Ice Person - Natalia.
- Blow You Away - Kiku.
- Dishing Out Dirt - Yao.
- Fire, Ice, Lightning - Gilbert, Natalia, and Eduard.
- Green Thumb - Meilan (Taiwan).
- Holy Hand Grenade - Mao (Hong Kong), in the light magic sense, not in a "good person magic"
- Kill It with Fire / Playing with Fire - Gilbert.
- Kill It with Water / Making a Splash - Peter.
- Living Shadow - Im Yong Soo and the Nightwalkers/current enemies.
- Selective Magnetism - Sweden
- Shock and Awe - Eduard.
The Empath - Toris.
Energy Absorption - Mathias (Denmark). He absorbs kinetic energy from the hits he takes and uses it for his own strength.
Glass Cannon - Mathias (Denmark). Even though his power requires him to get hit in order to send his "attack power" to insanely high levels, it's not like he's (almost) invincible like Ludwig is. Thus, the more he gets hit, the more he gets wounded, and he becomes a case of one of those "one hit-point wonders" who are absolutely DESTRUCTIVE when close to death (although that's looking at it from a video game-like standpoint).
Healing Hands / Healing Factor - Francis.
I See Dead People - Arthur.
Intangible Man - Vash.
Kung Fu Wizard - Yao and Mao (Hong Kong).
Magic Knight - Gilbert, with a focus on physical attacks.
- Kiku may also count.
- Natalia may be a weaker, somewhat more magic-oriented version.
Master of Illusion - Raivis, although he's far from a master. He typically sticks to making images of things that aren't actually there, and they tend to shake/flicker if he's too nervous. His favorite illusion so far seems to be hiding inside a giant matryoshka/Russian stacking doll. Which, as stated earlier, gives him away by shaking like he does. (It also doesn't help that said Russian stacking dolls don't blend in well with any environment.
Me's a Crowd - Antonio.
Mighty Glacier - Ludwig. We don't call him the team tank for nothing.
- Could also be the Stone Wall
Mind Manipulation / More Than Mind Control - Feliciano.
Nigh Invulnerable / Made of Iron - Ludwig. However, he does have some (hard to find but nonetheless present) weaknesses, and he can still feel the pain of whatever's hitting him.
Mind Over Matter - Alfred.
Personality Powers - The motive behind certain characters getting certain powers.
Photographic Memory - Canada. Like, crazy so.
Power Incontinence - Norway's telepathy allows him to hear the thoughts of EVERYONE, ALL THE TIME, with no way to turn the voices off or down.
- Lovino also has this trait, as he sometimes tends to explode at random.
Powers Via Possession - Sofia (Liechtenstein)
Prehensile Hair - Feliks.
Required Secondary Powers - We have some of these floating around
- Gilbert and Lovino both are flame resistant enough to not have their powers burn them to a crisp
Saving the World - Saving the world, one continent at a time.
Speaks Fluent Animal - Aussie (Australia).
Super Strength - Elizaveta.
- It's also the result of Mathias' powers, but the difference between them is kind of like Linear Warriors Quadratic.....Warriors.
Talking in Your Dreams - Arthur to Zutrin.
Telepathy - Liev (Norway).
Touch of Death - Technically, Sindri's (Iceland) power is to manipulate body temperature, but he can touch someone and kill them with either hyperthermia or hypothermia.
Voluntary Shapeshifting - Sadiq.

Not RP, but IC tropes:

Badass - America, Prussia. (That's what they think~)
Big Eater - Gilbert, if the Oregon Trail escapades are anything to go by. (ie. "It's YOUR fault that we go through 25 lbs of food a day!" or "Why did we go through X lbs of food in Y amount of days? ... GILBERRRRRTTTT!")
Big Screwed-Up Family/ Badass Family - Only in the sense that it is a cracked family...look at the CHART~
- Canada (Mom), Germany (Dad) Romano(Child), and Prussia(Child)
  - "Do I have to pay child warefare?" says America
- China (Mom), Hong Kong (Dad), Eesti (Son), Liet (son)
Butt Monkey / Chew Toy - Gilbert gets picked on whenever possible by just about everyone.
- Arthur also ends up being one of these whenever Alfred starts feeling capricious.
- Denny when Greece/Sweden is bored
Crack Pairing / Everyone Is Gay - Listed under here:
- America/Canada
- China/Hong Kong
- Denmark/Germany
- France/Lithuania
- Greece/Iceland
- Prussia/Romano
- Russia/EVERYONE
- Sweden/Finland
- Switzerland/Estonia
Denied Food as Punishment - As a general rule, during an Oregon Trail run, we tie Gilbert down so that he doesn't eat everything. There was also an instance of denied BEER as punishment, when Ludwig tried to keep beer completely out of the house for a full week. He failed.
Fantastic Arousal - Aside from the canon Italy-curls, other nation-tans seemed to have been assigned special ... spots.
- Denmark would really like it if you would stop touching his cat ears
- China would also appreciate it if you would not touch his long hair, no matter how tempting it may be.
- Hong Kong glares at you to not touch his cursed eyebrows or be blown up with his firecrackers ...
- Korea dislikes having Seoul molested, too.
- England prefers you leave HIS eyebrows alone, as well, lest you want a kick to the face.
Freaky Friday Flip - One of the side rps where every nation wakes up in another's body. ... Yeah
- Leading to interesting reactions by the guys who got girl's bodies.
Hammerspace - Alfred, mainly, if not everyone at some point.
Mad Doctor - One of Alfred's wonderful personalities. Posed a slight problem for Iggy, who didn't exactly want to part with his organs. Or skin.
- Gangster Land - Another personality has Alfred as a gangster (along with China).
Memetic Mutation - Tank throwing. Just ... tank throwing.
- *rolls*
- ~/o/
- Spit. "SPIT ON IT!"
Nothing Up My Sleeve - China and Hong Kong. 'From woks to chicks to magical dust ... oh my~!'
Twincest - Alfred and Matthew. Yeah.

Player Tropes:

Actual Pacifist - Lithuania/Liet. Well, he did punch Switz once, but that was because Switz was provoking him.
Dual-Wielding - In that a lot the players play more than one character
- America/Belarus
- Austria/Russia/Taiwan
- Lithuania/Seychelles
- Denmark/Norway
- Egypt/Hong Kong/Hungary
- Estonia/Finland/Liechestien
- Germany/Latvia
- Greece/Sweden
- Romano/Poland
- Sealand/Iceland
Grammar Nazi - Germany. Sealand/Iceland. America.
Group Hug - Everybody~! A sign of our amazingly lovable family~!
Hahvahd Yahd in My Cah - Denmark. Sort of. Uses wicked a lot mostly.
Joisey - "Wudder." "Dun you mean WATER HK?" "....."
- Alfred also laughs when HK says "Wisconsin."
- Korea, despite suppressing it as best he can, has a rather strong dialect as well. 'Memb'r k'ds, vow'l's 'r' f'r pans's.
Kill It with Fire - France & America's way to pass the time........lighting stuff on fire
Intoxication Ensues / Mushroom Samba / I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin! - Germany's dark chocolate-covered almonds. They tend to cause gigglefits, rocketing through the ceiling, babbling, and generally get you BLASTED. They're awesome, and you know it.
Lovable Sex Maniac - Greece/Sweden. Just ... Greece/Sweden.
Mama Bear - Liet. :DD
Spot of Tea - Everyone BUT -gasp- IGGY! -points finger at him- FOR SHAME!
The Voiceless / Shrinking Violet - "Sing for us, Iggy!" "..."
- France, too, with her refusal to say a word during voicechats.
Verbal Tic - Germany's "beh," which started out as a "noise of general displeasure" but seems to show up in every other sentence now.
- "Hurr" also seems to be becoming a verbal tic, though what it means is unknown.

Predicted Tropes:

Magnificent Bastard - Xaldin. Unless he's the Chessmaster (Denny)
Face Heel Turn - Zutrin. I... kinda forgot my stronger evidence, and what I have is kinda grabbing at straws, but something about "Zu... says... destr...y... lights, us..." makes me think that the Nightwalkers forgot/misinterpreted something Zutrin said, and that he may actually be planning to mace us all in the end. Depending on how long ago the strange parchment in the Asians' route was written/how long Zutrin has been alive, there may be an ancient message that got mistranslated. Or something. - Germany
Enemy Mine - Again, going back to the Asians' strange message: "Anot. . .evi. . . ter. . .roy. . .world. . ." seems to point to there being a third faction that wants to wipe out both the Nightwalkers and the Lights, and a possible tactic would be the two sides teaming up to take out this third side as described in the trope definition. - Germany
