→Tropes K - P
Line 384:
* [[The Cameo]] - Aimee makes a non talking appearence in ''New Divide''▼
== Tropes K - P ==
* [[Kick the Dog]] - A heroic example. Neku kills [https://web.archive.org/web/20140208165941/http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=7319 four] [https://web.archive.org/web/20140208165941/http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=7319 civilians] with lightning strikes just because he's angry {{spoiler|about Hailey's death}}.
Line 429 ⟶ 431:
* [[Meanwhile in the Future]] - The beginning of the third RP established two concurrent stories: A group of characters from Crimson Base (played by Mirumoto_Kenjiro) attack a Dragonstorm oil tanker, and the other characters (played by everybody else) prepare to attack Lab 101. Since then, several days and nights have passed in the Lab 101 storyline, while the oil tanker storyline has been in the same day from the beginning, causing the time disparity between them to grow more and more with each post.
* [[Medal of Dishonor]] - Not intentionally, but Shelton is embarrassed about the [https://web.archive.org/web/20140208165941/http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=7319 Commendation medal] he got while in Dragonstorm.
* [[The Medic]] - Vic and Dr. Joe. Dr. Landon appears to be filling this role while they're gone.▼
* [[Mind Screw]] - ''Card of Ten'' and ''Pavlov's Checkmate'' are a little bizarre.
* [[Missing Backblast]] - Averted and played straight. In the second RP, a rogue scientist takes out a light tank with a RPG and the backblast was specifically mentioned as scorching the paint on the vehicle behind him.
Line 439 ⟶ 442:
*** {{spoiler|Except now they maybe weren't...see [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]}}
* [[Monumental Damage]] - In ''New Divide'' the Statue of Liberty is destroyed by a [[Car Fu|train]] thanks to the [[Evil Counterpart|corrupt Viper]].
* [[The Movie]] - In the third RP, there's a rather humorous discussion about a Hollywood blockbuster being made based on the original terrorist invasion.▼
* [[Mugging the Monster]] - The punks who attack Aimee in the 3rd RP. Just because her arms are artificial, that does not mean she cannot kick your ass.
* [[My Instincts Are Showing]] - [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]], subverted and used by the lupine soldier Capt. Kayle Storm. When his rifle jams, he clubs a terrorist with it and latches his jaws onto the terrorist's face and proceeds to maul him. Subverted in the fact that he speds a few seconds vomiting after he does so.
Line 455 ⟶ 459:
* [[Night Vision Goggles]] - Used by Hans and James in ''Pavlov's Checkmate''. And apparently portrayed correctly as well.
* [[No Body Left Behind]] - Lockdown's genetic modifications allow him to turn objects or people into [[Antimatter|anti-energy]]. This causes them to instantly vaporize.
* [[Nobody Poops]] - Averted. Pelvanida Base has all the facilities of a real military base. Bathrooms and all. And of course, in the third RP, Cpl. Stern avoids getting caught up in a massive fight because he had to go to the bathroom.▼
** And of course, see [[Potty Failure]] below.▼
* [[Non-Mammal Mammaries]] - Partially averted. Kiara, Aimee and Shakila (all non primate mammals) apparently have breasts. But reptiles do not have breasts (or any form of hair for that matter). And snakes in this universe have their genitals hidden inside a slit like real snakes.▼
** Exception: Neku does have hair but it is [[Justified Trope|justified]] in that he was created in a laboratory.▼
* [[No OSHA Compliance]] - Lampshaded by Kerzach in ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20140208173105/http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=7514 Fool's Gold]'':▼
* [[No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup]] - Subverted by the terrorists, or at least justified. The point of the raid was to gain the supplies necessary to build the bridge, and they brought a backup generator.▼
* [[Non-Action Guy]] - Shelton and Kerzach both start as this, but Kerzach is slowly morphing out of this. Shelton, however, still sucks with firearms. Bailey from the third RP plays this straight.▼
* [[No Name Given]] - Jayden, Aimee, Ariol and Trinity never have their last names mentioned. Likewise, Capt. Lutra's first name is never mentioned.
** Zachary's full name was hidden throughout the first RP. Through supplementary material, it is revealed his full name is {{spoiler|Zachary Steven Johnson}}
*** Which makes him one of three characters<ref>Himself, Shelton, and Dr. Zenarchis</ref> whose middle names have been revealed. It's been revealed that Drs. Zanasiu and Kerzach ''don't have middle names.''
** The main characters of ''Nietzsche's Soldiers 2'' are never referred to by their real names, only their code names. The exception is Hippolytes, who proudly boats that he's a [[The Clan|MacLee]].
▲* [[No OSHA Compliance]] - Lampshaded by Kerzach in ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20140208173105/http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=7514 Fool's Gold]'':

▲** Exception: Neku does have hair but it is [[Justified Trope|justified]] in that he was created in a laboratory.
* [[Noodle Incident]] - In the 3rd RP, Alfred mentions that he can easily tip over a 3 ton pickup truck. ''How'' he knows this is never mentioned.
** Sgt. Larry Masters [https://web.archive.org/web/20140208165941/http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=7319 is nicknamed Sgt. Pepper]. It is not explained how he got that nickname aside from the fact it involved some Tabasco sauce, his uniform and some beer.
Line 497 ⟶ 502:
* [[Our Zombies Are Different]] - The infected that start to show up in Southport from what Subject 19 had created aren't zombies, yet, are able to to spread the virus within them much like how zombies do.
* [[Pants-Positive Safety]] - Aisha keeps a pistol in her purse. Alfred kept a pistol in the glove box of his truck. Averted by Dr. Zanasiu, Zachary, Cpl. Stern and Cobalt Squad (Dr. Zanasiu and Zachary use a pump shotgun and an assault rifle, respectively; Cpl. Stern and Cobalt Squad have holsters to keep their pistols in).
* [[The Password Is Always Swordfish]] - Dr. Tinner's [http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=6336&view=findpost&p=9127033 password]{{Dead link}} on his virtual reality machine. Also Montgomery on his computer files, though at least he tacked a number onto the end.▼
** Lettuce, Serris, and Drake all use this trope in one of their stories. In ''New Divide'' Tricell's password was, well, Tricell.▼
* [[Pistol-Whipping]] - How Shelton generally uses a gun, since he's not trained for firearms.
* [[Playing with Syringes]] - Nixx's [http://gangoffive.net/index.php?showtopic=7319&view=findpost&p=22003633 modus operandi].
Line 520 ⟶ 527:
* [[Punny Name]] - Spc. Mitchell '''Crota''' and Sgt. Larry '''Masters'''. Spc. Crota is a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake ('''Crota'''lus atrox) and Sgt. Masters is a South American Bush'''master'''. Also Spc. Hannah Ophio is a King Cobra ('''Ophio'''phagus '''hannah''').
** Also Capt. Lutra is a Eurasian Otter (''Lutra lutra'')
