They are governed, cared for and protected by [[Kid with the Leash|their wardens]], individuals of moral character (in most cases) given the task to look after them and stand as their moral compass during their time aboard the Barge. They have [[Bargain with Heaven|struck a deal]] with the Admiral. In exchange for their service, conditional upon redeeming and graduating their inmate, the Admiral will give them one thing. One thing that they need [[An Offer You Can't Refuse|desperately enough]] to stay on the barge. Some are [[Redemption Promotion|former inmates]].

{{tropelist}}

== Tropes that apply to the barge as a whole ==

* [[0% Approval Rating]] - The Admiral, and rightly so.

* [[Anyone Can Die]] - Because anyone can be revived from death on the Barge with the equivalent of a week-long hangover from hell, serious business often goes down at least once a week.

* [[The Atoner]] - Inmates are on the Barge to make up for what they've done in life.

* [[Big Bad]] - There's not really one for the overarching game, but during big events certain characters fill the role:

** In Masterworld, [[Doctor Who|The Master]] (shockingly enough). Judas and Iago were his [[Co-Dragons]].

* [[You Can't Go Home Again]] - Often subverted by graduations but some characters still have this, whether it's due to world destruction (West), faith (Howie) or some other reason.

* [[Zen Survivor]] - Many Wardens and Imates have achieved this after going through an awful lot of floods, ports and general barge horrible.

 

== Tropes that apply to current characters on the barge ==

* [[Artifact of Doom]] - Frostmourne, Arthas's [[Evil Weapon|soul-devouring sword]]. He can use it to turn other Barge denizens into Death Knights. [[Quills|The Marquis']] Lament Configuration also qualifies.

* [[Asexual]] - Castiel, as an angel, avoids things sexy. Seventh Doctor gets nervous at the implication of sex. And the Sixth Doctor's equally O.O at the idea. Vasilia Aliena is openly asexual after an awkward intervention by her also-asexual warden Sherlock Holmes.

* [[Authority in Name Only]] - Some wardens are significantly weaker than their inmates. The Marquis De Sade and George Crabtree rely on trust and being decent people to keep their inmates from overpowering them.

* [[Ax Crazy]] - Several. Richie Gecko is the leading contenders. Perry has shades of this, but he keeps it under ''slightly'' better control.

* [[Token Minority]] - Mozenrath, Iroh, Luke Cage, Simone Betheson, and Richard Riddick.

* [[Too Clever by Half]] - The Riddler. Here's a character with an intellect on par with the Batfamily, but it's hindered by his [[Smug Snake|unpleasant personality]] and [[Jerk with a Heart of Jerk|compulsion to get himself involved in conflicts]].

* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]] - Bourne's gradually become harsher and more antagonistic as time has gone on, though it's not entirely clear if this can be attributed to his trials with David or just him revealing more of his true personality.

* [[The Unfettered]] - Irving Braxiatel is a perfect example, delibrately putting aside his morals to save Gallifrey, regardless of how many [[And That's Terrible|genocides]] it takes. Achilles and Bourne bring up the vanguard.

* [[You Are Number Six]] - Sixth Doctor, Seventh Doctor (although they never in canon go by number names and characters on the Barge don't always know what "number" Doctor each is, but players use the numbers [[OO Cly]] for convenience). Seven-of-Nine. 21.

* [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form]] - Castiel's angelic form explodes heads, burns out eyes...is generally not good for human life forms. So he goes around in a [[Unkempt Beauty|human]] suit.
