Line 7:
* [[Action Girl]]: Most of the female heroes and villains, including [[Kim Possible|Shego]] and [[Dollhouse|Echo]].
* [[Action Mom]]: [[Terminator|Sarah Connor]].
* [[
** [[Resident Evil (film)|The Red Queen]].
** [[Terminator|Skynet]], apparently.
* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: Relations between the [[Player Character|PCs]] or ' Imports ' and ' native ' [[Non-Player Character|NPCs]] tend to be... strained at best. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] by the amount of chaos the characters' presence has caused in the City. However, Imports have since gained much more acceptance along with legal citizenship in their new home, since they helped save thousands of civilians from the HIVE.
* [[And I Must Scream]]: Nightmare plot.
* [[Alternate History]]: The Cityverse's history deviates from our own in many ways besides the Porter.
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: Thanks to the Porter's tendency to [[First Law of Resurrection|bring people back]]. Unfortunately, this means when people do die, it's usually in the most painful way possible. For maximum resurrection trauma.
* [[Arms Dealer]]: An early source of income for the Coalition was selling advanced battle mechs to North Korea. Jack 'Weasel' Hammer fulfilled this function on a smaller level in the City.
* [[A Storm Is Coming]]: [[Terminator|Sarah Connor]]'s visions.
* [[Attack of the Killer Whatever]]: The City can be threatened by pretty much anything. It was once attacked by ''pigeons.''
* [[Back
* [[Badass Crew]]: Most of the superhero teams, as well as the police force, which had [[Die Hard|John McClane]] as its Chief.
* [[Big Applesauce]]: The City is basically a nameless alternate universe counterpart to New York.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: [[Terminator|Cameron Phillips]]. Abby Boylen.
* [[Bad Future]]: The CNC2020 spinoff, set in a future where ImPorts are persecuted by the government.
** [[Future Badass]]: Characters who weren't already badass sometimes become these in 2020.
Line 43:
* [[Cosmic Retcon]]: The 'Running the Gauntlet' plot saw the reality of the Cityverse rewritten to introduce new elements like ghosts, aliens, and fictional countries.
* [[Cryptic Conversation]]: It is notoriously difficult to get a straight answer out of NPCs like Grinbitch and the Kashira Players, on the few occasions that it is even possible to communicate with them.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: [[Terminator|Cameron Phillips]], [[Kim Possible|Shego]].
* [[Death Is a Slap on The Wrist]]: The Porter resurrects most killed characters.
* [[Deus Est Machina]]: The Porter's powers seem to be almost limitless- at least when it comes to player characters.
Line 60:
* [[Fake Memories]]: The Brainwash Plot.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: ' Grinbitch ' for the Porter AI, which has since started popping up in-character.
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: [[Dollhouse|Alpha]], [[Doctor Who|The Master]].
* [[Fictional Country]]: five of them, thanks to the Infinity Gauntlet
* [[Fight Clubbing]]: courtesy of the characters from [[Fight Club]].
Line 66:
* [[Flight, Strength, Heart]]: Due to bizarre Porter-granted powers. One character combined infinite ammunition with deductive tap dancing.
* [[Fountain of Youth]]: when most of the City was turned into children by a magic spell
* [[Future Badass]]: [[Terminator|John Connor]].
* [[Government Conspiracy]]: Vulcanus, which seeks to mass produce superhumans.
* [[Hate Plague]]: Cylon-Nazi nerve gas that slowly drove people into conflict with each other.
Line 97:
* [[Power Nullifier]]: At one point, depowering guns appeared that could temporarily disable superhuman abilities.
* [[Quirky Household]]: MANY.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: [[Doctor Who|The Doctor]], [[Doctor Who|Rory Williams]], [[Toward the Terra|Soldier Blue]], and others.
* [[Red Shirt]] / [[Redshirt Army]]: Ordinary cops, soldiers and civilians stand almost no chance against most Import supervillains.
* [[Reed Richards Is Useless]]: Averted. The presence of so many super-geniuses and advanced technology users Ported in has already begun to have impacts on health, technology, and international politics.
Line 104:
* [[Show Within a Show]]: Iron Man: [[Crowning Moment of Funny|The Musical.]]
* [[Soap Within a Show]]: A Single Potato, complete with [[Explaining the Soap]]. With the [[Transformers|Decepticons]].
* [[Stage Magician]]: Zatanna Zatara.
* [[Status Quo Is God]]: To a certain extent. The City will always have enough crime to keep the heroes busy, but will never be wrecked too badly to recover, and the Porter will always continue bringing in new characters.
* [[Stock Super Powers]]: Along with several not-so-stock ones.
Line 122:
* [[Vice City]]: The HIVE, and the City on a bad day.
* [[War Arc]]: Three rounds with the HIVE, and then the War of Four Walls.
* [[Washington,
* [[Wham! Episode]]: The revelation of Iron Suit, the introduction of the HIVE and their subsequent assault on the City, the disposal of the Iron Suit by the Porter, and the entry of [[Government Conspiracy|Vulcanus]] were big game-changers.
* [[Wretched Hive]]: The HIVE.
