{{quote| "[[Rebel Leader|Lord Yuan Kafei]], illustrious leader of the [[La Résistance|Renegades]], was unhappy with the re-uniting of his worlds and the eternal lost of his dead fiancé. He begins playing with the concepts of planar physics and eventually discovered a method to which he could locate genetic matches to his fiance, Martel, on other worlds far quicker than it would take for Mana to decide her soul could be reborn in the world again. Unfortunately, in a [[Teleporter Accident|freak accident]], Yuan managed to send himself and his brilliant invention, The Bio-Gate, to a strange world. It seemed that little pieces of his world along with other worlds begin to gather on to this new world. Intent in his mission, Lord Yuan began to [[Call to Adventure|summon others]] through the Bio-Gate, hoping to find the one who could replace his lost love, Martel. However, as it has been with his invention so far, it still has a few kinks to work out which includes a GPS in order to find the others he pulled through the Bio-Gate and the random ones that have nothing to do with Martel that are being pulled through..."}}
 
[http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/series-related-miscellaneous-role-play/the-bio-gate-arc-2-a-multiverse-rp-open/t.72404335/ The Biogate] is a ongoing [[Play-By-Post Games|play by post game]] on Gaiaonline set in a [[What If]] world set after the end of [[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]]. Starting off as a extension of another idea done by the mods, the Roleplay was made January 16, 2011 by Shadowkeykeeper, Iceenchantress09 and Neka1. Not long after it started, The Biogate quickly filled with dedicated memembers who have become [[Fire-Forged Friends]] over the course of Roleplaying together for a year. Despite this, it has its share of slowdowns and people who leave for their own reasons. Still, the group has had a good run and is currently on its [[Story Arc|third arc]] and manages to avoid many reasons past cross over Roleplays have failed. The Roleplay contains [[Loads and Loads of Characters]] so don't expect a full list from all the big RPs. The Biogate is run by [[Word of God|Six Mods]], Shadowkeykeeper, Iceenchantress09 and Neka1, Keyblademaster333, Sorathekeyblademaster, and [[Devalious L]]. Quatilina was a mod since arc 1 but was replaced due to lack of posting.
 
There's a character sheet with tropes associated to the RPers now! It's right [[The Biogate (Roleplay)/Characters|here]].
 
Note, Spoilers are unmarked!
---
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: And how! [[Tales of Vesperia|Judith]], [[Bleach|Rukia Kuchiki]], [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5 Ds5D's|Aki Izayoi]], [[Persona 4|Chie Satonaka]], and many more.
* [[And I Must Scream]]: Chosens, Dark Signers and Judith get hard with this. Chosens can't speak and are unable to do anything of free will. They have to follow a specfic person they are attached too. The Dark Signers have no idea they are evil and when they do, the Earthbound takes control, invoking this. Judith gets this because she becomes trapped inside her own body, unable to speak and losing her will and ability to fight back against Yubel.
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Kratos Aurion, Zelgius/Black Knight, Chidori Yoshino, and Yuan Kafei are more straight examples.
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Many characters have attacks that are this. Yugi and Marik's God Cards are this:Awesome but can be impractical in a long term duel if they aren't able to get the power needed for it. Certain attacks too are this such as Emil's Ain Soph Aur. However, the arte Judgement fits this. Flash and bright, it can easily miss and takes a lot of time to charge.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Cutemon doesn't do much, but has super strength, healing and is adorable. Oshawatt plays this straight though. The little adorable Pokemon fought in a War and helped repel Maia's Metal Head's as well as Mithos's Angels.
* [[Badass Normal]]: In a world full of magic users and the supernatural, there are surprisingly only a few characters who can hold this title. Currently consistent of Yui, Sundown and Kamina.
** Even by the standards of the Biogate, characters without a Cross Series are this. Martha herself is also a example, being the most normal person in the entire Biogate yet still being Badass.
* [[Battle Amongst the Flames]]: Dai Gurren fights off Da Ji and her snakemen in one.
Line 23:
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Happens quite often. Examples go to anyone who ends up being saved in the [[Persona 4|T.V World]], and [[Tales of the Abyss|Guy Cecile]] and [[Touhou Project|Hong]] against a Hydra. However, a truly epic moment happens in Arc 2 where [[Final Fantasy|Edge Geraldine]] attacks Yubel who has transformed into her final form, with [[Ramming Always Works|ramming her giant form with his Airship's Drill]].
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: Arc One ends on a bitter note. The Dark Signers aren't defeated and saved, Zaphias lies in ruins and its defenders heavily weakened and near death. Flynn, Genis and Danny are badly wounded and the chosen's remain unable to speak. Did we mention that Kratos, Yuri and Aki become wanted criminals?
** If you thought arc 1 ended back, arc 2 is a complete [[Downer Ending]]. Walpirgus Night kills around ten major characters and hundreds of deaths to Neo Domino, Luke accidentally kills the boys in the Bamboo Forest, Rise, Atem, and Zelda have died and become Dark Signers while three out of the four have joined Dark Signer Kiryu, Marik and Cynder are now allies of Wiseman, and Megatron has allied with Gol and Maia.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: And how!?
* [[Capital City]]: Neo Domino City takes the cake with being the largest location in the Biogate. Zaphias is the second largest with Tatsumi Port Island, and Mac Anu tied. Inaba is last.
* [[Cat Fight]]: The Enchantress and Sailor Pluto have one towards the end of arc 2. Sadly, Pluto loses and dies.
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Recently, in Arc 2, Kefka appeared at Martha's House. He set a Blizzaga Spell( on the table and left...Only for it to explode into an [[Actually Pretty Funny|Ice Sculpture of Kefka on A Horse]]. He was [[Pants-Free|pantsless]] the whole time. Mercifully though, he did have underwear on. [[Even Evil Has Standards|Even Kefka has standards]].
* [[Character Derailment]]: A problem that normally gets averted. You have to be able to show you can play the character. However, this problem still exists. Atsuke was infamous for making all of his characters more Oc's then the really were, including Cruxis Yuri and Amnesia Forte. Averted with Yusei, who is the same character but a few changes.
* [[Clear My Name]]: In Arc Two, Aki spends most of the time trying to do this. Much to her dismay, Zaphias and Neo Domino know about her, Inaba finds out and her bounty is fairly high.
* [[Darker and Edgier]] / [[Lighter and Softer]]: Doubles as both. The ending to Arc 1 was dark, but the start of Arc 2 is noticibly darker. In fact, Arc 2 is much more dark then Arc 1. However, Arc 2 is very lighthearted after the Dark Signers are killed. Then [[Oh Crap|Wiseman]] [[It Got Worse|makes himself known]]...
* [[Death Is a Slap Onon The Wrist]]: Dying doesn't mean you stay dead. When you die, you end up in the Shadow Realm where you must find a way out. Still, escaping can be hard.
** Given there's a chance you could run into Freakazoid on your way to escape, [[Fate Worse Than Death|This]] [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|can easily]] become [[It Got Worse|a lot worse.]]
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: Mithos(Both the real and copy) and his army, Dark Signer Carly and Yukiko, were this for arc 1.
** Arc two has Shadow Ventus/Shadow Sundown, the events in the Sahara, a few of the Arcana shadows, and Da Ji as this. Walpurgis Night is more of a [[Climax Boss]] but still fits here.
* [[Enemy Mine]]: Vanitas saving Ventus counts for this. Due to saving Ventus' life.
* [[Evil Is Not a Toy]]: The Queen receiving the ability to summon Unversed. And her treating them as "Servants" will most likely come back to get her. True to the trope, Vanitas betrays her when she begins having a [[Villainous Breakdown]].
* [[Excuse Plot]]: The starting one at least. Yuan [[Precision F-Strike|Fucked Up]] and now random people are being pulled into a random foreign world. [[Hilarity Ensues]]. Subverted later on, as the Villains needed something to do, and had an entire new world to conquer.
* [[Fake Defector]]: Kratos and most, if not all members of Cruxis and Chosens are this way to Mithos. Kratos only acts like he's following Mithos because he knows he can't defeat him by himself and thus waits for te right time. The battle of Zaphias lets him, Yusei, Yuri and Yuan drop the act and turn against him.
Line 61:
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Flynn has a slight case of Heroic BSOD after Yuri and Kratos betray him and Wasp, Estelle, and Static get turned into Chosens. Judith has a severe one when she is saved from Yubel. Ventus is going through one now in fact.
** Happens again to Flynn when the Arcana Shadow kills Zelda. Luke goes through one after accidentally killing the Fanboys in the forest.
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: Yubel thinks taunting Team Flirt about the damage she's done to Judith's mind after months of torture will break their spirits. All this does is make Zelos [[Let's Get Dangerous|angry for the first time]]. The Dark Signers likewise try taunting the group after killing Junpei, which equals the same results as the former.
* [[How Do I Shot Web?]]: Naoto Shirogane is the prime example of this. She is the only chosen to not be taught in any Angelic spells or abilities. Leaving her to learn her newfound skills on her own.
* [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: The final battle against Yubel-Judith is one. The Dark Signer fights also turn into these when their Earthbound Immortals go berserk and take control of the person. Also applies to Chosen's without a Rune Crest though deconstructed in that there was no fighting involved for any of them.
* [[It's All My Fault]]:
** A few characters have instances of this. Zelos Wilder, Rukia Kuchiki, Teddie and Johan Anderson each one after Judith [[Grand Theft Me|gets possessed]] by Yubel as revenge for knocking her out of Johan. Bonus points for Rukia being responsible for freeing Johan and Jubel.
** Aki Izayoi goes through this for almost all of arc two when she nearly kills Flynn Scifo at the battle of Zaphias. In her defense, it wasn't truly her fault and was a accident.
Line 80:
** Western Ruins, come take our souls!
** Crow's D-Wheel can fit HOW many people?
** Martha and her 'wonderful' closet!
* [[More Than Mind Control]]: Divine and Wiseman's mind control abilities actually play off the persons mental weaknesses.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Team Twilight had this issue. On their trip to the Tower of Salvation Genis Sage and Naoto Shirogane were kidnapped. And due to Edge and Haseo the Tower of Salvation collapsed. Almost landing on the small town of Inaba
* [[Not So Different]]: Despite Mithos and Genis being very similar in game, Rua and Mithos play this out more. Both lose their sister(Ruka is taken by a Martel copy and Martel is of course dead), both are younger then their sister but have a big brother complex. Joey also plays this straight by saying this almost word to word about him and Rua.
* [[Really 700 Years Old]]: [[Touhou Project|Remilia Scarlet]] plays the trope straight. [[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Genis Sage]] would fit as well. But in fact, he's been corrupted so he's the reverse, really 12 years old despite looking older. Several others could easily qualify for this though, such as Kratos, Wiseman, Atem, Gig, Yuan, and Mithos.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: The entire group that went to fight the Dark signers, including Simon and Minako Arisato, fly into one when Junpei Iori is killed by Carly Nagisa in early Arc 2.Mithos goes on one when Martel's Cruxis Crystal is destroyed by Raven/Schwann.
** Happends again in arc two when Walpirgus Night throws Momentum and causes a second zero resverse. Seeing their friends die, Rukia, Akihiko, Carly, Johan, and Jack get super pissed and attack with their strongest.
Line 98:
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Flynn tries to pull this on Yuri during the battle of Zaphias. That is, until Yuri betrays Cruxis and helps the defenders. Hooded Man holds this trope though as he wants to defeat his Dark half, Dark Kain. Raven/Schwann pulls this on Mithos though with [[Your Mileage May Vary|mixed results ]]from the fellow Rper's though..
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: Teddie fit's this description toward each of his friends. Mostly to Zelos in a way that he would die to protect his 'sensei' The knights of Zaphias also fit this description. Leading to them being easily tricked by the Flynn Doppleganger
* [[Villainous Rescue]]: Vanitas of all people does this! He saved Ventus from being killed by a Skullscorpiomon because he was weak from it's poison. However, he only did this because he needs Ventus alive.
* [["Wake -Up Call" Boss]]: Arc Two's the one where this happened more. The Dark Signers, and Yubel-Judith were quickly this, letting the Rper's know how powerful and dangerous things were to come.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: The Yugi's death sets off the return of the Dark Signers with Zelda and Rise dying shortly after, and then [[Oh Crap|Walpirgus Knight]] shows up
* [[What an Idiot!]]: Gee! Great idea running into the obvious trap Aqua! Justified in that it was a Terra copy and she was lured into it.
** Good job Ventus, running ahead will solve things faster!
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Keima and Lelouch's game of chess lasted three hours.
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: Many characters are surprisingly showing this side to them. Raine Sage and her younger brother Genis, as well Naoto Shirogane, are noticeable cases, but most young characters are showing signs. Subverted with Wisemon. Wisemon is a Digimon and therefore has no real age but is rather smart and true to his name, wise.
* [[Wide Open Sandbox]]: This can be an (un)fortunate fate of some characters. usually averted, but has happened enough to be notable.
