[[In a World]] where [[Real Life|reality]] and fiction exist [[Alternate Universe|side by side]], [[Ordinary High School Student]] Trope-tan [[Falling Into the Cockpit|falls into possession]] of a powerful [[Artifact of Doom|artifact]] on her [[Dangerous Sixteenth Birthday|sixteenth birthday]]: a [[Magic Wand|magical staff]] named [[There Is No Such Thing as Notability|Tinstan]] that allows her to [[Wiki Magic|bring lost or obscure tropes back to life in full glory]]. Determined to [[The Messiah|do good]] [[Walking the Earth|to the world]], she starts on a path of [[Wiki Magic]]ian, [[YKTTW|searching for]] and improving such tropes. Things get difficult when the [[Dark Magical Girl]] Wikipe-tan ([[Elegant Gothic Lolita]] attire included) is sent by her [[Evil Matriarch|evil mother]] Wiki[[Classical Mythology|medea]] to Trope-tan's world to search and destroy all in-universe [[Elemental Powers|Elements of Fiction]], armed with such devastating spells as NPOV, Citation Needed, and Speedy Deletion ([[Calling Your Attacks|called out]] in [[Gratuitous English]]). And it all gets ''really'' complicated when a [[Cool Ship]] from TVTI shows up. [[Home Page|TVTI]] is an interuniversal organization of "tropers" who strive to achieve [[Balance Between Good and Evil|balance]] and integrity among the tropes before they [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|ruin all life in the multiverse]]. This balance is now [[Apocalypse How|about to crumble]] thanks to Trope-tan's indiscriminate resurrection, Wikipe-tan's indiscriminate deletion, and the epic [[Edit War]] between them. The tropers also have a secret agenda to [[Slash Fic|slash]] and [[Shipping|ship]] [[Foe Yay|Trope-tan/Wikipe-tan]] in every manner possible, so [[Unresolved Sexual Tension|tensions]] between them are beginning to rise...
 
=== ''Trope-tan and the [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|Stealer of the Spotlight]]'' by [[Tropers/Peteman|Peteman]] ===
 
[[It Was a Dark and Stormy Night]]. Trope-tan stood over the broken body of Firefox-Tan, [[Character Derailment|cackling triumphantly over her victim]]. Wikipe-Tan stood there in [[Draco in Leather Pants|her leather pants]], growling, [[There Is No Such Thing as Notability|"This is what happens where the is no notability!]] [[Alternate Character Interpretation|Editors run amok and there is nothing to stop them]]" But Trope-tan walked over, and [[Standard Female Grab Area|grabbed her arm]], and all Wikipe-Tan could do was scream "[[Badass Decay|LET ME GO! LET ME GO!!]]" as [[Chickification|she broke down crying.]] Trope-tan threw her to the ground, then [[Kick the Dog|kicked her unconscious]] [[Down the Drain|down a manhole]] into the [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]].
 
Firefox-Tan picked herself off the ground. She needed to stop Trope-tan, so she shouted "[[In the Name of the Moon|In the Name of]] [[Did Not Do the Research|Google, I will use my Search Engine powers to defeat you!"]] at which point, she summoned her [[They Just Didn't Care|frost powers]] to blast Trope-tan... She fired her giant ultimate unstoppable [[Beam Spam|multi-blast frost beam attack]]... but Trope-tan [[The Worf Barrage|deflected it easily]]. Trope-tan skated toward Firefox-Tan, saying "[[Evil Gloating|Foolish girl! You could not hope to defeat me..."]]
 
That's when [[Steven Ulysses Perhero|Ulysses Tristan Steven]] [[Sdrawkcab Name|Ytram]] appeared out of nowhere, yelling "Have no fear citizen! [[Marty Stu|U.T.S. Ytram]] is here!"
 
Trope-tan was so mesmerized by U.T.S. Ytram's dramatic entrance and [[Informed Ability|unbelievable charisma]] that she went out of control and [[Wall Banger (Darth Wiki)|slammed into a wall]]. She was even more mesmerized when the dashing young man, along with his giant sword, walked over to her, picked up her quill, and without trying, [[Instant Expert|instantly began wielding it like a master.]]
 
Awed by his mastery and realizing that she stood no chance against this [[Informed Attractiveness|unbelievably attractive man]], she swooned instantly and [[Heel Face Turn|became good]]. She approached the man but the clean and pleasant smelling girls Firefox-Tan and [[Plot Hole|Wikipe-Tan]] charged her. "He's mine! No! Mine!" came the exchange between them, but seconds later, they realized that his awesome magnificense and his giant... sword could be [[Tenchi Solution|shared between the three of them]]. They were about to [[IKEA Erotica|insert parts of him and each other into each other]]...
 
... When Trope-tan [[Catapult Nightmare|awoke bolting upright]] screaming [[Big No|"NOOOOOOOO!"]]
 
Gasping, she realized that whatever just happened, [[It Was All Just a Dream|it wasn't real]]. She took a few calming breaths.
 
Meanwhile, [[Stalker with a Crush|watching on his telescope]], Ulysses Tristan Steven Ytram smiled as the girl went back to sleep, "Soon my dear... very soon..."
 
=== ''Trope-tan and the [[Start of Darkness]]'' by [[Tropers/Vifetoile|Vifetoile]] ===
 
Trope-tan, with [[Tropey the Wonder Dog]] faithfully at her side, put down her quill one evening and [[Contemplate Our Navels|gazed up at the stars.]] "Ah, [[Name's the Same|Tropey]]," she said absently, "How did it come to this? One day I was an [[Ordinary High School Student]], just trying to [[I Just Want to Be Normal|live a normal life]], but then the Call came, and I [[Jumped At the Call]]. Who could blame me? [[Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here]] - or so I thought. [[As You Know]], Wiki[[Classical Mythology|medea]] had ''chosen'' me to train in the arts of [[Wiki Magic]] and seeing [[No Fourth Wall|past the Fourth Wall.]] She trained me alongside her own daughter, Wikipe-tan... she promised that one day I might find the significance of this [[Orphan's Plot Trinket|trinket that my parents left me]]..."
 
She fingered the ring on the chain around her neck for a minute, [[Expospeak|before resuming her story]].
 
"Wikipe-Tan and I [[Rival Turned Evil|were the best of friends, even if we were rivals...]] but when the time came to grant us the true status of [[Dark Magical Girl|Dark Magician Girls]], Wikimedea ''[[Broken Pedestal|scorned]]'' me. She said that my [[There Is No Such Thing as Notability|complete lack of notability]] and my [[Lampshade Hanging|irrepressible urge to hang lampshades]] meant I could never be a force to reckon with Wikipe-Tan in my wildest dreams. She said I had [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|too much heart!]]" Trope-tan grit her [[Cute Little Fangs]] together, [[Mismatched Eyes|her one ruby eye and one emerald eye glaring.]] "I thought Wikipe-Tan might at least stand up to her [[My Beloved Smother|mother]] - but [[And Man Grew Proud|she'd grown proud.]] She turned her back on me. And since that day," Trope-tan gripped the [[BFS|Big Frickin' Quill]] again, "[[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You|I am the only one allowed to defeat her!]]"
 
Trope-tan was startled by the sound of a clap. A slow clap, [[Sarcastic Clapping|slow and sarcastic]]. She turned. A [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]] fellow, who seemed another [[Ordinary High School Student]], was standing there, wearing a black shirt with the NBC peacock on it. "Incredible. Unbelievable. I don't think I've ever seen a [[Expospeak|less subtle insertion of plot exposition.]] Well done. I think my ears are ringing with the clanging of the metaphorical [[Anvilicious|anvils]]."
 
"It was totally believable! I was talking to [[The Watson|my dog!]]"
 
"And where is that dog now?" He asked.
 
"She's..." Trope-tan looked around, but Tropey had left her feet. Instead Tropey was at the feet of the man, who was more roguishly handsome the more Trope-tan looked at him. Tropey kept [[Licked by the Dog|licking the man on the hand affectionately.]]
 
"Believe this is yours." He [[Pet the Dog]] curtly and sent her back to Trope-tan. He turned and walked away.
 
"But wait! Who are you?" Trope-tan called after him.
 
"I'll just be around whenever your ego needs a deflation. [[Television Without Pity|Spare the snark, spoil the MoeMoe]]..." He disappeared into the shadows, leaving Trope-tan and Tropey alone in the night, which was promising to be [[It Was a Dark and Stormy Night|dark and stormy.]]

=== ''Origins of Darth-tan'' by [[Tropers/Ice Wolfklaske|Ice Wolfklaske]] ===
 
It was at the end of a minor, but vicious flame war. The forces of light and law had emerged victorious, and what little trolls had survived were weary, wounded or altered beyond their previous forms, no longer recognizable as troll. Amidst this chaos and destruction a lone child arose. Wounded deeply by the violence, both physically and mentally, she looked saw upon her fallen kin and realized.
And a terrible realisation it was. But unlike those of her kin who came upon this knowledge more gradually, and in kinder circumstances, she did not join the legions of order.
 
Her heart was hardened by the bitterness of the rivalry, and she decided, with all her skill and potential, to remain on the side she had been born into, but with this realization within her.
This knowledge, that she cultivated and sharpened as one would a wicked living blade, which aided her in her quest against her adversaries. The wounds closed, the scars mostly faded, but her health remained weak, suspicible to fevers, her one leg and arm nearly so weak as to be useless.
 
This did not stop her. As the heat of fevers burned in her body, in her soul burned an icy cold more strongly, with determination and a resolve that did not waver. And she became the most dangerous of many. Her name was not known, and she rarely spoke. But her strength, ah, her deceptive and terrible strength within that frail body. She became a much sought after warrior, until at last, she found her place, her resolve ever burning.
 
And she has been very, very useful to us.
 
=== ''Trope-tan and the Ordo Tropus'' by [[Tropers/Jamaican Castle|Jamaican Castle]] ===
 
In the [[Warhammer 40000|grim]] [[Grimdark|dark]] [[Bad Future|future]]... there is a woman. This woman [[Genre Savvy|knows how the universe works]]. Clad in hardened steel and salvaged armor, for these are the signs of her time, she strides out to defend the last bastions of Humanity and the great Imperium. Locked behind her [[Lampshade-Wearing|lampshade helmet]], it is said she fears no foe, and needs not see them, for she knows the very heart of [[Our Elves Are Better|Eldar]] and [[Flat Earth Atheist|Tau]], [[Blood Knight|Ork]] and [[Horde of Alien Locusts|Tyrannid]], [[Implacable Man|Necron]] and [[The Corruption|Chaos]] - even [[Humans Are Bastards|Man]] himself. You shall know her by her signs: the [[Avatar and The Airbending Fellowship of Vampire Slayers|sigil]] of her creed, the [[Chainsaw Good|chain]]-[[Rule of Cool|quill]], the blue and orange livery of her Ordo Tropus. Pray to the Emperor that she come in your time of need, for her knowledge [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|turns the tide of battles]], and without it you will be forced to [[Genre Blindness|stumble blindly in the dark]]. None know the source of this woman, or her knowledge, or her order - except the mysterious one herself.

Notes: Trope-tan would be fun to play as. She would be a starting PL8 if she lost the shapeshifting, but I can't bring myself to take away her powers as the plot demands. I guess you could represent that with the not!Ritualist feat if you had to.
 
Kawaii, Rousing Speech, Slap Silly and Zen Strike are from Mecha & Manga. Trope-tan is very much a team player.
 
The quill is kind of boring as it stands, but hey. Oh, and if you're wondering why she doesn't have any combat style feats it's because she just does [[Flynning]].
