** Guy Rapide also mentions in passing having had a friend named [[The Elder Scrolls|Lucien Lachance]]. Other shout outs include catchphrases from [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]], an adopted character suddenly talking like [[Final Fantasy VI|Kefka]], direct quotes from films and games, visual tricks, namedrops, and sometimes characters that're slightly revised versions of one from some other media (the recent mod applications had a sample profile that was quite literally just a modernized [[Kingdom Hearts|Riku]].) If one had the time and patience, an entire wiki could probably be dedicated entirely to documenting shout outs in Survival of the Fittest. |
