{{quote| "''The year is 2121. A mysterious apocalypse has struck the Earth, leaving little left. Strangely, animals, plants, and animals remained unharmed. Buildings, houses, and structures stand with little harm done to them. The human species still exist, but only in form of children and teenagers no older than the age of twenty. In this dystopian setting, it is hard to survive and even harder to meet another one of your species. However, the apocalypse, called the Great Storm by many, left the presence of Flow. The Flow is a mysterious essence that is found in air, water, and earth. It is intangible and odorless, and can be-reused again and again. Usually, in its dormant state, it is also invisible to the human eye. A gift granted to all those left on the Earth is the ability to manipulate Flow. When being used, the Flow is usually visible in a sea-green aura, though it may change according to the user. Each user has a Flow ability specific to them, whether it be the ability to manipulate wind, change sizes, or cause plain destruction. Flow is used to hunt and fight, and is a valuable tool to those who wield it.''}}
{{quote|"''Our protagonists are normal teenagers who find themselves looking at a vermilion tower appear in the distance one bleak night. Curiosity overwhelms them, and they each make a journey to the mysterious tower before them. Along the way, they meet others with similar goals: all to reach the tower. Sharing common goals, some of the teenagers group together and make their way to the tower. Eventually, they make it, apparently before anyone else. Seeing as the tower is closed, the group decides to bust in and do so by breaking a large hole in the castle. They make their way in, only to be stopped by a mysteriousadult.What's even more strange is this man has a mechanical arm and looks deceivingly like a scientist. After some conversation, the man tells them of a tournament coming soon, dubbed 'The Acer Tournament.' After a scuffle, the group is dumped out in the front of the castle again, where many more teenagers have arrived. A large drawbridge is opened, and five adults-- including the mechanical armed one-- introduce themselves as the hosts of the Acer Tournament. This tournament is for all participants who must endure tasks for three weeks in order to reach the ultimate prize: a promised spot in an utopia. Some protagonists jump in right away, while others are a bit more skeptical but join in eventually. The contestants are allowed to live inside the tower for the duration of the tournament, and are given bed and food. While it's definitely shady to how the adults manage to get all this (and how they even are alive at this point), the contestants are grateful and reside in the rooms with one other roommate. They are split into groups of three, and they must work together to complete the tasks.''"|[[
Reaching Salvation is a Role Playing experience set [[After the End]] in a [[Teenage Wasteland]] in which the majority of adults have seemingly vanished, with a few notable exceptions in the [[Five-Bad Band|Big Five]] and {{spoiler|the mysterious [[Anti-Villain|Shima]] and his group of [[Mooks|loyal subordinates]]}}. The RP was originally created by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2023763/LastPrelude LastPrelude] and is hosted on [http://forum.fanfiction.net/forum/This_is_Not_a_Forum/69987/ This is Not A Forum] over on [[Fan Fiction]].net where we are in the process of playing out the first half the second week and are currently on Part IV with lots more on the way, no doubt.
----
=== [[
* '''[[Action Girl]]''': You'd be hard pressed to find a girl who ''doesn't'' qualify as this in RS. I think the only true notable exceptions would be Elena and Mitsu, for obvious reasons of course. Both Anya and Lillian also count, seeing as being an adult makes them very powerful by default, however they lean more towards [[Lady of War]] due to their age.
* [[After the End]]: [[
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The information and character creation threads count as this.
* [[Alone
* [[Always Someone Better]]: Luke feels this way towards Nathan, Nathan seems to feel this way towards the Big Five.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: And then some with Nathan. However, everyone has at least displayed some symptoms of this in the past, [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|sliding up and down the scale for various reasons.]] Most fall between Types II and IV.
Line 43:
*** {{spoiler|Given the interaction between the entire during the Beast Tamer Challenge, I think it's safe to say that the ship has officially sunk. Majorly.}}
** Joey and Erika may also count, however I don't actually remember them throwing down together since I joined (which was early on in Part II) so less so than Nathan and Kira.
** Luke and Kira also count as a [[Battle Couple]] in the sense that they have so many [[Shipper
* [[Berserk Button]]: Everyone's got one - some just have bigger buttons than others.
** Eithne and Nathan recently took to pushing each others [[Berserk Button|buttons]] and ended up trying to do a [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] on one another. Eithne came out on top, if only just.
Line 51:
* [[Big Bad]]: Shima is setting himself up as the current [[Big Bad]], {{spoiler|even if he is somewhat of an [[Anti-Villain]] and is merely out for [[Revenge]] against those that turned on him aka the [[Five-Bad Band|Big Five]]}}.
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Luke feels this towards Kira according to Luke's creator.
** [[Shipper
** Eithne has adopted this attitude towards Tom, Heidi and Simon. Not that he's told any of them this.
* [[Bigger Bad]]: Presumably, the {{spoiler|Big Five}}. [[Hidden Agenda Villain|Though, with their true motives hidden from us it's rather debatable and all down to guess work]].
Line 57:
* [[Big No]]!: If we've not had this yet, I'm offended. [[Serious Business|Seriously]].
** We've officially had a few examples of this trope now.
* [[Black and Grey Morality]]: I think it's safe to say that in [[
** It's more [[Grey and Gray Morality]] to be honest, seeing as the ultimate goal of The Big Five has is unknown.
* [[Blatant Lies]]: Arugably what the Big Five are feeding the kids.
Line 82:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: We've had one or two of these thus far, [[Foreshadowing|no doubt with more on the way as things progress.]]
** Confirmed. There are several [[Curb Stomp Battle|Curb Stomp Battles]] planned in the near future.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: As Rand pointed out, [[
** Special mention goes out to all those that actually put some though into their characters [[Dark and Troubled Past]], at least enough to shed some light on it during the actual RP, anyway.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: A lot of the characters have become this via [[Character Development]].
Line 88:
** [[Little Miss Snarker]]: Heidi is this when not talking to the few people she actually likes.
*** Erika has moments of this.
* [[Deal
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Nathan and Eithne subvert this during their first few clashes, though no one really wins any of those.
** Even after finally having a full on fight their situation is closer to [[Enemy Mine]] due to the fact both just want out of the Acer Tournament, though both want out for completely different reasons.
* [[Designated Monkey]]: [[Blessed
* [[Determinator]]: Eithne fits the bill. Others, such as Luke and even [[Took a Level In Badass|Paul during his battle in the Breakout Arc]] could also qualify.
* [[Did We Just Have Tea
* [[Double Entendre]]: All over the place.
* [[The Dragon]]: Oliver is this for Shima.
** He's more a [[Dragon-in-Chief]] seeing as he's the one that oversees to the day-today running of Shima's base and maintaining the peace between the residents.
* [[Elemental Baggage]]: Jayden can only manipulate water, [[Blessed
* [[Energy Absorption]]: A take on Nathan's power - debatable.
* [[Explaining Your Power to
* [[Expy]]: [[Blaz Blue|Oh]] [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|dear God]], [[Bleach|where]] [[Naruto|do I]] [[X
** Most ideas of the plot in the first place are related to The Hunger Games
* [[Face Heel Turn]]:
Line 151:
* [[It's All About Me]]: Nathan has moments of this.
* [[Jerkass]]: [[Up to Eleven|Nathan]], unsurprisingly.
* [[Jerk
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Nathan does this brilliantly at times. Others are just as guilty, [[Up to Eleven|Nathan just does it better.]]
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|[[Moe|Mitsu]] and [[The Medic|Shepard]]}} thus far, along with numerous other [[Red Shirt|random characters]].
* [[Kill It
* [[Kill It
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: On a few occasions, though only one or two are note worthy. And others are just groan inducing.
* [[Leaning
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Once again, Eithne is very guilty of this during his first confrontation with Heidi.
** Averted from this point on as no one has been guilty of this since Eithne invoked said trope in the above example.
Line 163:
* [[Love Triangle]]: Depending on how the next few days go, the situation with [[One True Threesome|Luke, Kira and Nathan]] could end up morphing into one of these.
** Now I have no idea what the hell it is. Doesn't seem like either ship has much chance of winning now.
* [[Magic
* [[Mama Bear]]: Heidi and Erika to Simon and Elena, respectively. You so much look at either of these two kids wrong with Heidi and Erika around and prepare to run.
** Ironically, Suvi plays both Heidi and Elena, whilst Rand is the reverse with Erika and Simon. Hmm...
Line 184:
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Shima's group has two character's named Oliver. One is [[The Stoic]] [[Dragon-in-Chief]] whilst the other is an [[Elite Mook]].
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Shepard has shown signs of being this, at times.
** [[Leaning
* [[Playing
* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]: Subverted in that we've had the one liner, yet no ass kicking to speak of. Zackary has had a good few of these.
* [[Power Trio]]: The teams of three.
* [[Psychic Powers]]: No explanation needed.
* [[Put
** Shima and Co. also went for a trip on the bus after the events of the [[Great Escape|Breakout Arc]] but it looks as though [[The Bus Came Back]] as of end of the first fifth of Part IV.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Eithne's [[Hannibal Lecture]] during his fight with Nathan doubles as one of these.
Line 202:
* [[Seeking Sanctuary]]: A synonym of the title of the RP itself; mainly what the characters are all after.
* [[Serial Escalation]]: We've had a fair few good examples of this.
* [[Shipper
** {{spoiler|Doesn't look like either of them will win in the end, though}}.
* [[Ship Tease]]: Oh ''so'' much.
Line 208:
** [[Jurassic Park|Clever Girl]] - courtesy of Paul.
** Neo said [[Phoenix Wright|"Well, excuuuuuuuse me princess!"]].
*** Does double duty as ''[[The Legend of Zelda (
** [[Fan Nickname]] The Big Five, originally coined by Dobi Boshi and becoming a term used in and out of the RP is used at first as a passing Shout Out to [[Yu-Gi-Oh!]] on one of the discussion threads.
** Various powers count as [[Shout-Out|Shout-Outs]], too
* [[Slice-and-Dice Swordsmanship]]: We have a few characters who are skilled enough to deserve this.
