The Nyazian Prophecies is a virtual series spinoff of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel written by Emcee. The series takes place after Angel and follows Connor as he becomes a Slayer (of sorts) with the help of his Watcher, Andrew.
The series consists of two seasons and a crossover movie. A movie trilogy was planned for the series' conclusion, but Schedule Slip set in. Emcee eventually posted a summary of how the series was supposed to end in order to wrap things up.
Tropes used in The Nyazian Prophecies include:
- Alternate Universe Fic: Became one retroactively with the release of the official Buffy and Angel continuation comics.
- Character Blog: Connor's LiveJournal.
- Continuation
- Crossover: Battle of the Champions is a crossover with Buffy and Angel.
- DVD Commentary: After the seasons were done "airing," they were released in a virtual DVD set, including several episodes with DVD commentary-style running notes in the margins.
- Fake Guest Star: Oni, for most of the first season. (She's added to the opening credits in the second.)
- First Episode Spoiler: Wesley is alive.
- Glamour Failure: Salome in the first episode when Connor accidentally breaks her glamour bracelet, revealing that she is a purple-skinned demon.
- Hypothetical Casting: For everyone, including guest stars. The main cast includes Anna Paquin as Salome, Bret Harrison as Jamie, and Kou Shibasaki as Oni.
- Interspecies Romance: Connor and Salome.
- Learnt English From Watching Television: Oni, a human raised by demons.
- Not Named in Opening Credits: Alexis Denisof in the first episode.
- Recursive Fanfiction: The series has a few fanfics on its official forum, some written by the series writer.
- Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: The author's intention, according to the first episode's commentary, in bringing Andrew on as a main character.
