It's (relative) popularity skyrocketed, spawning Spinoffs and Fanfics. The Rise Universe was no longer merely the work of a single creator, but now a shared community of the players creation. It went on to have more and more background, creating an interesting universe that expanding beyond the wildest dreams of it's maker.

And now it's on [[TV Tropes]].
 
----
=== Rise contains examples of ===
 
* [[A Friend in Need]]: {{spoiler|No one, not even Kanade, will let Axel rot in a Hydra League prison.}}
* [[A Mech Byby Any Other Name]]: In this case '''H.M.Vs''', standing for '''Humanoid Mechanized Vehicles'''.
* [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished]]: Averted to death. Severe injuries are the norm.
* [[Big Badass Wolf]]: The Canis.
Line 29 ⟶ 24:
* [[Eldritch Abominations]]: ...''Where do we start?'' The Mi-Go alone make 90% of it.
** The [[Space Whale|space whales]] can be considered such. They travel unharmed through black holes and eat anything that happens to be close to them.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: Several prisoners in [[The Alcatraz|the Hell]]. For example, Heimdall is the guard of the Warriors' compound. One of the popular tropes of ''Madness From Hell''.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: The first Fanfic was first posted toward the end of the second main Roleplay. It quickly sparked interests in others who did the same.
* [[Hero of Another Story]]: Practically the entire main cast's been one at some time or another. Special mention to Abraham Keyes, who's been through an entire civil war and has [[Iron Woobie|seen his entire planet die]].
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: And ''how''. Rise uses pretty much every single Mecha trope under the sun, from stock Gumdamesque machines, to [[Walking Tank|walking tanks]], to outright alien designs.
** The ''Jotun'' and the ''Demented'' make the largest [[A Mech Byby Any Other Name|HMVs]] look like toys in contrast. And just for your information, one of the largest is 53 feet. That's almost a five story building.
* [[It Got Worse]]: So many times.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: And that's not even getting to the spinoffs. Or NPCs for that matter.
Line 40 ⟶ 35:
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Tzeenosaurs are cybernetically augmented sentient dinosaurs, which were also from Earth. And it's just one example.
* [[One Degree of Separation]]: ''Madness From Hell'' has several characters which are related in many ways to the main characters.
* [[One -Man Army]]: The Spec Ops of the Empire are believed (and strongly implied) to be this. Also The ''Jotun'', piloted by Karl Vladick of the Paladins, was built for this purpose, and lived up to it.
* [[Pandaing to Thethe Audience]]: Terrence, Axel's Red Panda. Don't ask how Red Pandas have apparently survived to the next millennium.
* [[Recycled in Space]]: Name it. Name anything and it's there.
* [[Rich Bitch]]: ''Kanade.''
* [[Rule of Cool]]: The universe is built around it.
* [[Sci -Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale]]: Mostly Subverted. There are few indications of distance between planets, time is mostly used instead. The creator prefered this way, otherwise it would limit creativity to numbers.
** The fact that it only took slightly more then a century to colonize and conquer the entire Galaxy is a bit odd, though.
* [[Space Cowboy]]: Axel is a somewhat more literal example then most, much to his father's chagrin.
Line 58 ⟶ 53:
* [[Walking Tank]]: Clyde's mech.
* [[War Is Hell]]: While the main [[Role Play]] is more about skirmishes, stories like ''Fall Of The South'' make it very clear that Humanity is still fighting very dirty.
* [[What Measure Is a Non -Human?]]: The less humanoid are the aliens (both facialy and physically), the more the Empire tried to eradicates them.
