The Advance Wars Roleplay is a [[Play -By -Post Games|forum-based roleplay game]] based on the [[Nintendo Wars]] series but set in an [[Alternate Universe]].
 
In this universe, the various continents of Wars World divided and each country operates anomously. Each CO has powers which they use to gain an advantage in battle. There is a wide array of characters with various abilities, which often reflect the personalities of the character.
Line 47:
** [[Zeppelins From Another World]]: Orange Star finally have airships!
** [[Elseworld]]: Former [[Game Master|RP Leader]] PanicAttack is planning a fanfic where much of the cast are placed in a world where their powers resemble more conventional [[Stock Super Powers]]. It's essentially the AWRP [[X Meets Y|crossed with]] [[X Men]].
* [[Anti -Air]] - As well as the Anti-Air vehicles, the surface-to-air Missiles, the anti-sub/air Cruiser, some factions have additional counter-air weaponary including:
** The Orange Star/Yellow Comet Frigate, a ship with a surface-to-air missile launcher
** The Green Earth Hoverflak, a hovercraft armed with an anti-air vulcan, similar to the one on the Anti-Air tank.
** The Yellow Comet [[Shout -Out|Masako]] [[Saints Row|Troopers]], armed with [[More Dakka|miniguns]], which make them one of the most cost-effective ways of dealing with enemy helicopters. They also fair well against Interceptors.
* [[Aluminum Christmas Trees]] - The Russians really did build a [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba:Tsar Bomba|Tsar Bomba]], similar to the AWRP's [[MacGuffin|Tsarina Bomba]]
* [[Anyone Can Die]] - Maria, Don, Zephyr (but he got better until he didn't again), Lorin, Omega, Petr, Haynes, D, loads of SMART COs
* [[Armor-Piercing Attack]] - Yellow Comet's Bombers, Fuzei and indirect-combat units have this to a limited degree, as Yellow Comet's "Ballistic Precision" technology allows their attacks to ignore enemy [[Geo Effects|terrain defense]].
Line 73:
** Green Earth has the Peccatore Battleship ([[Fan Nickname|sometimes]] called the [[Freud Was Right|"Pecca"]]), a stronger version of the Battleship which can also target air units.
** Yellow Comet has the Dreadnaught (or [[Fan Nickname|"Dreadie"]] or variations thereof), which packs even more power than the Peccatore, but can't fire on air units. It can absolutely ruin enemy Submarines, however.
** SMART also got in on this, with their Frigate, a design that was stolen by Orange Star and passed onto Yellow Comet. See [[Anti -Air]].
** AB04 is certainly this for whoever owns it. It's a giant submarine used for developing bioweapons which is overseen by some unknown entity with a robot voice.
* [[Disc One Final Boss]] - Reagan. Everyone was led to believe she was behind the SMART invasion, when she was actually a subordinate to an even higher ranking man: Vogel. She was something of the actual final boss of SMART, tagging with Vogel in their final stand.
Line 97:
** Ken serves as the overall leader of Yellow Comet, similar to Kanbei.
** Hanako serves as a foil to Ken, like Sonja to Kanbei. Like Sonja and Lash she is also a prodigy and has terrain-related abilities. Ken and Hanako aren't blood related, however.
** Caligari's abilities are like Andy's, but slightly better. His CO Power is practically identical to O'Brian/Brenner's. He's also an Expy of [[Doctor Who (TV)|The Fifth Doctor]].
** Sae can empty enemy CO Power meters and doesn't get any firepower or defensive boosts under normal circumstances, similar to Sasha.
** Ironside is wheelchair bound and heavily crippled, much like Von Bolt.
Line 130:
*** [[The Brute]] - Flak
*** [[The Dark Chick]] - Adder
* [[Game -Breaking Injury]] - The virus that prevents the usage of CO Powers could be seen as a form of this, especially since the Black Hole COs are unaffected and some have borderline [[Game Breaker]] abilities.
* [[Gatling Good]] - The Yellow Comet Masako Troopers use miniguns, as do the Vulcaneers from the alternate Yellow Comet.
* [[Geo Effects]] - Like in AW proper, terrain affects the movement and defensive strength of ground, sea and also hovercraft units. Different COs and technologies affect them further:
Line 154:
* [[Kill It With Fire]]
** [[Playing With Fire]] - Plamya's powers
** [[Fire -Breathing Weapon]] - Green Earth's Flamethrower Infantry.
* [[Large and In Charge]] - Dart and Thor
* [[MacGuffin]] - Nuclear weapons, or more broadly weapons of mass destruction - have never been used as weapons, but frequently as plot.
Line 204:
** Sloth: Chase
** Wrath: Viola
* [[Shout -Out]] - Hundreds, listing them all would take all day. Notable shoutouts include [[The Nth Doctor|Caligari]], [[Fire Emblem|Dart]], [[Doctor Who (TV)|the Defiant]], [[Clint Eastwood|Eastwood]], [[Metal Gear|Grey Fox]], [[Code Geass (Anime)|Rakshata]] and [[Saints Row|Vogel]].
* [[Stage Names]] - Again, a lot. Amongst the current cast we have:
** Dan "Dart" Gallagher
Line 215:
** Kiku Kurosawa used a fake given name ''and'' a fake surname. Her real name was Natsuki Saito.
** One could argue for Suzanna Mia "Suzi" Harrison and Victor "Vic" O'Brian (no relation to the main series character), who use shortened forms of their given names.
* [[Tank Goodness]] - As well as the standard, Medium and War Tanks from [[Nintendo Wars|Days of Ruin]], the AWRP features the [[Dual Mode Unit|part-artillery]] [[Shout -Out|Siege]] [[Starcraft|Tank]], the subterranean [[This Is a Drill|Yormungand Tank]] and the [[Hover Tank|Hovertank]]. [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] as the Yormungand and Hovertank aren't much more powerful than a Medium Tank.
* [[Tech Tree]] - In the early stages of the game, each faction was limited to a handful of units from the games and had to research the remaining ones. Even now, new units, defensive installations and effects can be researched, although this is more freeform.
* [[Theme Naming]] - PanicAttack's characters (Viola and Rosabella Abandonato, Hanako Mori, Kiku Kurosawa and Suzanna Mia Harrison) all have flower-themed names. Other characters also have plant-related names including Ken Kobayashi, Emi Hayashi and Sae Sakurazaki. [[Hypocritical Humor|Hanako]] was the one who [[Lampshade Hanging|noticed the]] [[Flower Motifs|flower theme]] first.
