RFU: Difference between revisions

Then the Pointy Hat Guys arrive, and tell the four that they are the world's only hope, foretold by prophecy to be the saviours who shall defeat an ancient menace that threatens to bring about the end of days. Thus begins RFU, the series formed from pure [[Refuge in Audacity]] that avoided launching a thousand lawsuits. Armed with billions of dollars, near infinite weapons, magical powers, and stupidity, they must fight demons, Nazis, villains stolen from [[Dragonball Z|other]], [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|more]] [[Metal Gear|successful]] stories, and other villains taken without explanation from the author's other unpublished works. Along the way, they find love with celebrities and are more likely to destroy the world than save it, or else only save it by accident. They aren't the greatest heroes, and barely qualify for the title, but they're the only heroes around.

 

 

Sadly, the authors, rather than having the balls to die and cause [[Author Existence Failure]], just faded away, leaving many stories unfinished and the site to vanish from the Internet. RFU is now found only at [http://web.archive.org/web/20050204035501/www.trilogypress.com/rfu.html the archived Trilogy Press site].

* [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: The Omega Blade after it's given back to Weasel by Slash Hazard.

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Oneshot villain Truthkeeper from the first episode was loved by fans, despite never appearing again. The authors once outlined a spinoff story explaining how the lack of any heroes other than the core cast was due to Truthkeeper and oft-mentioned but never seen villain Crimson King murdering them all; sadly, the story was never fully written.

* [[Five-Man Band]]: Weasel, [[The Hero]], Inferno, [[The Lancer]], Phoenix, [[The Big Guy]], Bryllin, [[The Smart Guy]] (only while stoned), Amber, [[The Chick]].

* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: The heroes betray each other at the drop of a hat; they keep a list of 'turncoatings', with Inferno in the lead at 29.

* [[Murder Is the Best Solution]]: Not that the heroes can be bothered to think of plans that don't involve murder.

* [[One Steve Limit]]: Normally played straight, but averted during "When Worlds Collide", assigning numbers to same-named characters and having them play introduction games.

* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Perhaps the only real point the series has.

* [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]: In "Little Continuity Busters", a series of hiccups in the timestream forced our heroes to travel through history, ensuring that certain events happened, and making a few extra stops along the way.

* [[Shout-Out]]: All over the place, mostly to comic book series, cancelled FOX shows, and ancient [[Game FAQs]] users and memes. Sometimes, they ''blend'':

* [[Stupid Jetpack Hitler]]: Stupid Hitler fused with Dragonball Z's Frieza forming an eternally respawning Hitzer!

* [[Telepathy]] and [[Mind Over Matter]]: Just some of the many powers possessed by Truthkeeper.
