Prophesies, Destinies, and Killing Gods is a [[Play-By-Post Games|Play By Post Game]], played and managed by a small group of forum members. It was originally hosted on the [http://forum.fanfiction.net/forum/Hylian_Tower/50188/ Hylian Tower Forum] on [[Fanfiction Net.net]], however due to limitations of the website's forums, has since been moved to its own stand alone site hosted by proboards.com.
 
Starting in 2010, The Role Play was originally called [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Virtual Battling]], as its purpose was simply a thread where the forum members could engage in fights. Since then, it somehow evolved from a random battle thread with no plot and light-hearted humor to an [[Cerebus Syndrome|epic story with]] numerous arcs and villains. To put this in perspective, the Role Play started off with characters fighting nerds and licensed characters from other media, to a clone destroying the world in an attempt to become a god, to elaborate space battles, and dramas including slavery and rape.
 
The first half can be read from Virtual Battling [http://forum.fanfiction.net/topic/50188/8262920/7/ here].
Line 17:
** More recently, seithr has been used in the creation of more [[Magitek|outlandish devices]].
* [[Artifact of Doom]]: From [[MacGuffin]] to [[Animate Inanimate Object|sentient Cubes]].
* [[Artificial Human]]: [[Mega Man X (Video Game)|Reploids]] are incredibly advanced considering the date and age of the world Reploids are from.
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: Michael, a fan of the fiction from another dimension was brought to the universe that is the main setting of the RP for yet unrevealed reasons.
* [[Attack Drone]]: The Tower has multiple defense robots.
Line 47:
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: The Devbut'a are the very race of demons that are known throughout Earth. They're also very polite and like to make friends.
* [[Defeat Equals Friendship]]: After having her entire team destroyed by the Heroes, Aqua joins their team with little hesitation and becomes a side team-mate.
* [[Did We Just Have Tea Withwith Cthulhu?]]?: The Ducibus. (Or Cubes.) [[Energy Being|Energy being]] [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|form-changers]] with questionable loyalties and morals. They destroyed planets, wiped out races and came close to accidentally killing all the Heroes while trying to stall for time. Then they spent an entire few months bunking in the Tower after their place was accidentally destroyed, and one of them even got into a relationship with a Hero.
* [[Dragged Into Drag]]: Nayru has done this more than once to unfortunate unsuspecting males, Aleph being the most frequent target.
* [[Energy Weapon]]: Used very often, one of the most prominent examples being [[Mega Man Zero (Video Game)|Zero's]] [[Laser Blade|Z-Saber]]. These generally tend to be realistic, but some simply run off [[Rule of Cool]].
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Virtual Battling included multiple characters from other media and was overall far sillier and cartoony than [[P Da KG]]. Characters also were either exaggerated or had far more Out of Character Moments.
{{quote| '''[[The Stoic|Lotus]]''': OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHEESE! *Shoves [[Vo A]] out the way and attacks cheese*<br />
'''Zero''': *punches a moogle* }}
* [[Expy]]: [[Fire Emblem Tellius (Video Game)|Ilyana]] and [[Blaz Blue|Rachel]] are two of the most obvious examples.
* [[Extra Ore Dinary]]: Lotus, Isaac, and Aleph.
* [[Final Boss New Dimension]]: Purposely invoked , as the GM of the time was a troper.The final battle against Awesome in the Shadow Dimension, where dark powers were twice as powerful.
Line 64:
* [[Hello]]:
{{quote| '''Villain:''' Hello Bitches.}}
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: An unnamed 200m (656 feet) tall Battle Mech. Owned by [[Gadgeteer Genius|Mia]], hidden in her [[Pocket Dimension|pocket dimension]], but yet unused.
* [[I Think You Broke Him]]: Nikolai and Nayru have both said this word for word.
* [[Inevitable Tournament]]: The Tournament of the Shooting Stars. Deliberately invoked.
* [[Infant Immortality]]: Averted hard.
* [[Impaled Withwith Extreme Prejudice]]: A recurrent theme throughout the story.
* [[It Got Worse]]: Never, ''never'' ask the question, "What's the worst that can happen?" Because [[Murphy's Law|Murphy]] ''will'' answer.
* [[Kick Them While They Are Down]]: Done to Rawk by {{spoiler|Will, Masaru, and Alessio}}. Possibly justified, however, because {{spoiler|he had just allowed a stranger to enter the Tower, done very little to help keep Gaenor from being kidnapped, and ignored a heavily injured Rie in favor of going on a date}}.
Line 79:
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Over 40 and counting!
* [[The Mafia]]: Rawk and Will both used to be members of the Galactic Mafia.
* [[A Magic Contract Comes Withwith a Kiss]]: Ada's [[Shout-Out|Pactio]] [[Mahou Sensei Negima|system]] runs off of this.
* [[Meta Mecha]]: Mia's armor system's operate off a "Layer" system, with Layer 1 being the basic system that is stored in her bones. Layer 2 is a suit of armor attached on top of her existing armor, and Layer 3's, yet unused, are Mech's piloted by her lower layer.
* [[Mugging the Monster]]: Yes, oh lowly bounty hunter or mook, [[Too Dumb to Live|try and attack one of the Heroes.]]
Line 108:
** Villain and his family are prone to this, shouting out everything from videogames, to live action TV, to anime, to music.
{{quote| '''Awesome Prime''': *thinking* Check it out! Gravity! *The ice around Awesome shatters, and he immediately flies towards the bomb, infuses it with more [[Metroid Prime|phazon]], and kicks it to the ground has hard as he could* You ever seen [[Dragonball Z]]? My favorite part was when Freeza blew up Namek. Of course he died, but you have to realise, he succeeded!}}
** Nayru and Zero are character shout outs, referencing [[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|The Legend of Zelda]] and [[Mega Man Zero (Video Game)|Mega Man Zero]] respectively. Ebony's race is from the [[Elder Scrolls]] Universe.
** Lotus's Holy Knight outfit is a shout out to [[Final Fantasy IX|Beatrix]]. Her magical abilities mainly come from Final Fantasy IX and [[Final Fantasy Tactics]].
** Rawk's abilities are a shout out to [[Blaz Blue|Ragna the Bloodedge]], and he has referenced fighting games more than once.
Line 126:
** All of the Cubes are capable of shapeshifting, but they generally have little skill with it.
** Sophia or Lambda, youngest of the [[Animate Inanimate Object|Cubes]], though her power is actually ''replication'', is master of this, capable of turning into anything she has the energy to. Considering she has the power to fuel supernovas....The fact that her thinking remains the same no matter what form she takes is justified in that she is an [[Energy Being]].
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: Multiple, yet justified by the fact that it is [[Writing Byby the Seat of Your Pants|mostly written on the spot,]] as well as by people who never returned to give closure to their characters. Jessica and The Master are the most egregious examples as Jessica was Villain's ex-girlfriend and The Master suddenly left a large plothole. These characters are barely ever mentioned again.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: When Awesome utterly destroys the first tower.
** Note that said event was preceded by Omega ''slicing the Tower clean in half'', and turning parts of it into Cyberspace.
