Raishon

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Raishon Academy is one of the many roleplays found on the Gaia Online forums. About a group of students just trying to pass their classes at Raishon Academy, overcoming odd events. The main thread can be found here.

There's a character page here, although it's not finished.


Tropes used in Raishon include:
  • Action Girl - No one messes with Yukina.
  • Afraid of Blood - Momoko faints at the sight of blood.
  • Alliterative Name - Suzy Sabrina Schubert. Apparently her parents must like the letter S if they gave her a first and middle name that starts with an S.
  • Always Second Best - Keep trying, Eli! Maybe you'll get rid of that Second-in-Command role one day...or not.
  • Boring but Practical - Kanami's precognitive ability and Suzy's Enhanced Jump.
  • Brother-Sister Team - Shinjiro and Tomoko, Momoko and Haruma
  • Cast Full of Pretty Boys - It doesn't matter where you look, you will not be seeing anyone who's less than pretty.
  • Childhood Friends - Yukina and Leif, Shinjiro, and Karma.
  • Claustrophobia - Kanami fears tightly closed spaces, which is why she would rather take the stairs than the elevator, even if she has to go up several flights of stairs.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl - Karma towards Shinji
  • Crazy Awesome - Eli, Suzy, and Akane.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass - Eli and Akane can kick ass if prompted. Luckily, they never seem to be prompted...
  • Daddy's Girl - Karma.
  • Do Not Call Me "Paul" - Eli dislikes being called by his full name "Helios."
  • Don't Make Me Destroy You - You don't want to cross Misaya. Ever.
  • Dreadful Musician - Despite coming from a mostly musically-inclined family, Haruma has no talent for music at all. Put him near any musical instrument and you'll be clapping your hands over your ears within seconds.
  • Drives Like Crazy - Haruma and Suzy can get rather... wild when it comes to driving. Fortunately, they don't drive like this all the time.
  • Elective Mute - Momoko is quiet most of the time, but is able to talk with a few certain people, one of them being Zyera. Tomoko also only speaks to Shinji. For everyone else, she uses written word to communicate.
  • Fake Twin Gambit - Eli pretended to be his own twin on the night of the Halloween Event while Zyera was (unwillingly) dressed up as him.
  • Fan-Preferred Couple - Almost everyone in the OOC thread support Momoko and Alf together, specifically because they're total opposites. There's already a surprising amount of ship teasing in Alf's posts.
    • Can't forget Eli and Yukina, either!
  • Fiery Redhead - Akane's hair can be seen from a mile away, and she can probably be heard from a mile away, too...
  • Finishing Each Other's Sentences - Alistair: Look, we're... Telios: On a Trope!
  • Finger-Poke of Doom - Thanks to Leif's Superstrength, just a single poke of an object with her finger will make it crumble to pieces.
  • Food Fight - In version 1.0 of the roleplay, the roleplay started out with a food fight in the cafeteria.
    • And again, during December in Version 2. The blame falls on Angry Voice Man, but Dio stops everyone and cleans the cafeteria up.
      • And yet again on the same day, thanks to Deborah.
  • Fun with Foreign Languages - Yue speaks Chinese, Eli speaks Greek, Seung-Hyo speaks Korean, and most of the characters are Japanese. Cultural diversity hooray!
  • Genki Girl - Suzy and Akane.
  • Giftedly Bad - Suzy's singing is atrocious. Enough said.
  • Girls Love Stuffed Animals - Momoko has a bunch of stuffed animals in her room.
  • Glowing Eyes of Doom - When Alistair and Telios' Maguilty Sense activates, their eyes tend to glow...that'd be the time for you to run now.
  • Go Look At the Distraction - In an attempt to clear the students out of the building where the Guardians vs. chimeras fight was taking place, Suzy decided to come up with the excuse that Yukina was giving free hugs and kisses outside. Unfortunately, that just pressed Yukina's Berserk Button which sends her into a bit of an Unstoppable Rage.
  • Having a Blast - Saya has the ability to explode things by speeding up molecules.
  • Heir to the Dojo - Serenity's father taught her well.
  • He-Man Woman Hater - Dimitri seems to have a fear of females. The only female he does not fear is his mother.
  • Homeschooled Kids - Deborah and Faye.
  • In Touch with His Feminine Side - Perhaps Raishon had a reason for assuming Eli was gay...
  • Intimate Healing - Kissing is the most effective way for Eli to heal someone since the area his power comes from is his lips.
  • I Shall Taunt You - During the event in which all of Raishon's students turns into an animal, part-animal, or develops an animal characteristic, Takeshi, being a monkey, proceeds to go around the entire school insulting every student in sight.
  • Jump Physics - Suzy's power of Enhanced Jump allows her to jump higher than anybody and scale down tall buildings without strain on her legs and feet.
  • Lazy Bum - Almost all that Zyera does is sleep.
  • Let's Duet - that one time where Eli and Karma sang "For Good" from Wicked together.
  • Moment Killer - Celestial Cockblocker Xalander Shimada, at your service.
  • Nice Hat - Eli is usually seen wearing one.
  • No Social Skills - Due to her being extremely shy, Momoko's social skills are very limited. Compare to Deborah, who hasn't been around people up until now.
  • Non Sequitur - Dear god, Deborah is the queen of these to a T.
  • Ojou - Karma comes from a wealthy family.
  • Omniglot - one of Haruma's powers is Omnilingualism. He doesn't use it much, though.
  • The Quiet One - Momoko hardly ever speaks. Same goes for Tomoko.
  • Real Men Wear Pink - Pink is one of the many colors that Eli is usually seen wearing.
  • She Cleans Up Nicely - Damn, Yukina, maybe you should put dresses on more often...
  • Shrinking Violet - Momoko.
  • Shrouded in Myth - After the Halloween Event, the NPC students at Raishon believe that the Guardians have a foursome with each other. They also think that Eli is gay for Shinji because they saw Zyera (dressed up as Eli) leaning against Shinji.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang - Yukina and Leif; Momoko and Haruma.
  • Side Effects Include - Yukina's time manipulation power comes with an unfavorable side effect: memory loss. Alf also suffers memory loss when he cries.
  • Sleepyhead - Zyera has a knack for falling asleep anywhere.
  • Super Senses - Yue has this ability.
  • The Rock Star - Takei Kobayashi.
  • The Silent Bob - Red cannot speak at all due to being originally programmed that way.
  • True Companions - The Guardians are like a little family.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting - Seung-Hyo, Karma, and Dimitri.
  • Walking Wasteland - Thanks, Eli, for wilting the courtyard for the eighty-third time.
  • Wholesome Crossdresser - Claire. Nonstop.
  • You Gotta Have Blue Hair - Between Alistair's blue hair, Shinjiro and Tomoko's purple hair, Shima's green hair, Faye's purple-tinted black hair, Raishon's got the entire rainbow attending!
  • Younger Than They Look - Despite being 17, Dimitri looks like that of a 10-year-old boy. However, he can shapeshift into his Older Alter Ego whenever he wants to be taken more seriously.
