It was [[The End of the World As We Know It]] - the keepers of the multiverse decided to end it all (possibly [[For the Evulz]]) - deities called Portal [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Alpha and Omega]]. Omega died under mysterious circumstances, leaving Alpha in charge and Alpha is not a nice god. [[The Cake Is a Lie|Thankfully]], there are other, lesser Portals who were allowed to create their own universes [[Unreliable Narrator|to save as many people as they could]], each named after a letter of the alphabet.
 
Each dimension is a "gamma" named after their respective Portal and contains people of the same temperament, all except for Gamma-X ([[Title Drop|Portal Breach]]), ruled by the illustrious Portal-X the Wise. He just wants to save people, [[Big Damn Heroes|deserving]] or [[Designated Villain|not]], and have a good time. Some settle down and make names for themselves, whereas some do not and fade into [[Put On a Bus|anonymity]].
Line 30:
* [[Crack Fic]] - In spades. Notable examples include the site's chatbox on a boring day, the "Dragonsmeets" thread that spawned the "demon smeets" (now known as "crack babies), and the "Oregon Trail" thread.
* [[Cross Player]] - A lot of players on Portal Breach play characters of the opposite sex (but it's when the guys have girl-exclusive characters that you should start worrying).
* [[Cursed With Awesome]] - The vampires, for one. [[Hellboy|Liz Sherman]], who hates her fire powers but has learned to accept them. Hellboy, who's the [[Anti Christ]] (or the [[Anti -Anti -Christ]], depending on how you look at it).
* [[Darker and Edgier]] - The whole world is like this for a few, though [[Lighter and Softer]] for others. Depends on how you look at it.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]] - Hellboy, the [[Your Mileage May Vary|vampires]]... anyone who's ''supposed'' to be evil but has a heart of gold.
Line 48:
* [[Foe Yay]] - See [[Crack Pairing]] on the YMMV page.
* [[Forgotten Fallen Friend]] - Usually averted when a character [[Put On a Bus|mysteriously]] [[Dropped a Bridge On Him|disappears]].
* [[For Science!]] - Numerous characters, such as the Garden. [[Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri|Prokhor Zakharov]] absolutely epitomizes this trope.
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]] - Jo, Ava, and Swindle.
* [[Grey and Gray Morality]] - The Majority of Portal Breach's citizens.
* [[Half -Human Hybrid]] - A few, most visibly Rhys, who is [[Meet Cute|cheery]], has cute fangs and would love to [[Creepy Child|eat you up]] ''[[I'm a Humanitarian|literally]]''. Other examples include Dani (who's half-human, half-ghost), Psyche (who was mostly fae and a ghost at one point),{{spoiler|Cailia (who's half-human, half-demon) and Sepheraim (who's half-human, half-angel)}}.
* [[Halfway Plot Switch]] - A very common occurrence when major plots happen. Common examples include the Gamma-O plot, the Halloween plot and (almost) the [[Hanna Is Not a Boys Name|Hanna]] plot.
* [[Hammerspace]] - Swindle has transwarp space, and lets not forget the robot butler, Lawrence. And even resident vampire, OV, has a impressive one, always giving out the best meelee weapons.
Line 61:
* [[Insufferable Genius]] - [[Transformers|Starscream]] ''thinks'' he's a genius, but who's the leader of the Decepticons? Yeah, we thought so.
* [[It Got Worse]]
** The [[Hanna Is Not a Boys Name|Hanna]] plot that took place over the summer. {{spoiler|Zurg became the God inside Hanna's [[Playing With Puppets|lackey]] and forced him to make puppets out of other people by draining their magic. Jo managed to band together multiple characters to [[Big Damn Heroes|take on the God]]... only to [[Failure Is the Only Option|fail]]. To make things [[It Got Worse|worse]], the God [[Brainwashed and Crazy|punished]] Zurg for helping Jo, turning him into a [[Body Horror|coin]][[Memetic Mutation|head]] and made him [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|attack and torture]] [[Kick the Dog|Jo]] who managed to get away only when Zurg [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|resisted]] the mind control long enough to let her escape. The rest of the characters then had to find the [[Dismantled MacGuffin|pages]] of Hanna's book that would defeat the God by finding the [[Jerkass|Augurs]] that guarded them. The Augurs gave the characters [[Riddle Me This|difficult riddles]] to solve, after which the characters began to ''finally'' start [[Earn Your Happy Ending|succeeding]].}}
* [[Jerkass]] - Most of the Portals, especially [[Greed|Portal-G]] and [[Control Freak|Portal-O]].
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]] - More than a few examples, the most notable of them being Zurg. Because even though he's a [[Big Bad]], he's got a soft spot for Jo.
* [[Karmic Tricksters]] - Bonkers in a sense-he's a cartoon cop, after all. Garden in a [[You Make Me Sic]] sort of way. Garden is also [[Playful Hacker|Chaotic]] [[True Neutral|Neutral]].
* [[Kick the Dog]] - [[Greed|Portal-G]] was ''made'' of this. {{spoiler|To start this off, Portal-G struck a deal with Portal-X to make weapons, on several conditions: One, he could choose his own warriors, who were basically made to be his slaves. Two, he could come to the chatbox whenever he wanted. Whenever he was there, he proceeded to hit people with his hammer, which had the power to [[Taken for Granite|turn people into GOLDEN STATUES]]. The only way to avoid being turned to gold was to [[Nightmare Fuel|CUT OFF THE LIMB HE HAD HIT]]. ''Ouch''. And if that wasn't enough, during the middle of the war with Portal-O, Portal-G was revealed to be a [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|mole]] for Portal-O. [[It Got Worse|Then]], after Gamma-O was defeated and everyone was celebrating their victory in the chatbox, Portal-G [[Yank the DogsDog's Chain|attacked]] Zurg with his hammer, turning Zurg into a [[And I Must Scream|golden statue for several days]]. Even if he was apprehended and put into jail, some people [[Karma Houdini|feel that he didn't get what he deserved]]}}.
** [[Fables|Mr. Dark]] killing {{spoiler|Kev and Blade}}, through [[Fate Worse Than Death|decomposition]], without provocation from [[Innocent Bystander|EITHER]] [[Taken for Granite|ONE]].
* [[Leaning On the Fourth Wall]] - As common as [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]], usually seen in posts when the player's wit and sarcasm creeps in.
* [[Like a Badass Out of Hell]] - It's not technically hell, BUT... Everyone who died in the recent Reformat plot. They got to come back whilst riding the goddess Omega as she rose from the depths of the Pool of Souls to challenge her counterpart.
* [[Mind Rape]] - Happened to Zurg.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]] - Only happens on occasion.
** A ''big'' one during the most recent Halloween Plot. {{spoiler|Glitch-X demanded that everyone tell him their [[Fatal Flaw|guilts]] and [[Nightmare Fuel|fears]]. They very reluctantly did. Turns out, admitting their fears and guilts freed Glitch-X from his chains and allowed him to attack everyone as he wished. [[Oh Crap|Woops.]]}}
* [[No Fourth Wall]] - The Fourth Wall in the chatbox got tired of being broken, so it [[Crowning Moment of Funny|ran away]].
