Advance Wars Role Play: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Eagle Land|Orange Star]]'': The American-style faction and perpetual rivals to Green Earth. They are currently led by [[Pirate|Dart]]. Former commanders include [[Ace Pilot|Zephyr]] and [[Ensign Newbie|Maria]].

* ''[[Glorious Mother Russia|Blue Moon]]'': Based on Russia, Blue Moon are the most isolationist faction. They are currently led by [[Broken Bird|Procella]], formely by [[An Ice Person|Boreas]] and [[Handicapped Badass|Eva]] and the Board of Commanders.

* ''[[Imperial Japan|Yellow Comet]]'': The Japanese faction and main allies to Green Earth. They are the only country to have one leader since the start of the game, Emperor [[Royals Who Actually Do Something|Ken]].

 

* [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]] - The ''Defiant''.

* [[Alternate Universe]] - First, the RP itself is set in an alternate universe to the [[Nintendo Wars]] canon. Then there's a ''second'' parallel world, where Black Hole are from. It's also implied there's countless more parallel worlds. Yay quantum theory?

* [[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

** Ryouta, a former [[Visual Kei]] singer who still dresses the part. All the time.

* [[The Chessmaster]] - Nicole thinks she is one, Ada really is one.

* [[Cool Boat]] - Everyone has at least one.

** Orange Star has the Tactical Submarine (also known as [[Fan Nickname|"Tacky Sub"]]), which can submerge itself to sneak into a powerful position, rise and then wreak havoc on opposing ground and naval forces.

** She also used to refer to [[Royal Brat|Emi]] as Emi-gozen.

** She tends to tack -sama onto the end of the names of the leaders of other countries. She also referred to Procella as "Procella-ojousama".

** [[Fire-Breathing Weapon]] - Green Earth's Flamethrower Infantry.

* [[Large and In Charge]] - Dart and Thor

* [[No Indoor Voice]] - '''SIGRID "ELECTROMA" HENNELZEN IS THE VERY EMBODIMENT OF THIS TROPE!!!'''

* [[Paintball Episode]] - The war game in Yellow Comet.

* [[Please Select New City Name|Please Select New City And Island Names]] - When SMART lost some of their islands to the various nations of Cosmo Land, the islands were renamed. Instead of [[Theme Naming|Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto]], the islands are now known as Liberty Island, Kristallichy Island, L'isola Vesuvio and Minamimoto. The cities were also renamed.

* [[The Power of Friendship]] and/or [[The Power of Love|Love]] - Tag affinities are determined this way. [[True Companions|Tag powers gain a 5% boost if both COs are in the same faction, for instance]], unless decided otherwise. This goes both ways, as COs who don't get along have a weak tag power.

* [[Sequel Escalation]] - When not fighting each other, the nations of Cosmo Land have faced:

** Red Valley, a small splinter faction from Orange Star.

** Their counterparts from Macro Land in an intercontinental war.

** Their literal counterparts (or at least, counterparts of former characters) from another world, led by the counterpart of the otherwise-benign [[Names to Run Away From|Black Hole Industries]].

** Sloth: Chase

** Wrath: Viola

* [[Stage Names]] - Again, a lot. Amongst the current cast we have:

** Dan "Dart" Gallagher

* [[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.

* [[Twin Switch]] - Viola and Rosa were almost constantly tagging each other before it came out Viola had a twin.

* [[Urban Warfare]] - Yellow Comet have had two battles in their cities now. It's almost a tradition {{spoiler|since there's supposedly another one planned to happen relatively soon}}.
