''[['''The Prayer Warriors (Fanfic)|The Prayer Warriors]]''''' is a series of fanfics written by Thomas Brown, known as BelieverInChrist, and his cousin Ebony Brown.
 
The plot has the titular heroes trying to purify the worlds they're on, whether by converting them or killing them because they're Satanic. However, they also face dangers along the way, whether by facing off against other Gods or other powerful beings.

* ''The Prayer Warriors: The Evil Gods Part One'', where it focuses on the world of ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]''.
* ''[httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20200328024651/https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8170664/1/The_Prayer_Warriors_2 The Prayer Warriors: Battle With the Witches]'', where it focuses on the world of ''[[Harry Potter (Literaturenovel)|Harry Potter]]''. (NOTE: the reposting is incomplete.)
* ''The Prayer Warriors: Threat of Satanic Commonism'', focusing back on the ''Percy Jackson'' characters with a little [[World War OneI]] thrown in there.
* ''The Prayer Warriors: The Evil Gods Part Two'', co-written by Thomas Brown and his cousin Ebony Brown {{spoiler|with a surprise guest appearance by Noah}} (surprisingly better than the other stories...at least when Ebony is writing).
* ''The Prayer Warriors: Attack of the Sphinx'', which focuses on ''[[The Kane Chronicles]]''. Co-story with ''The Titans Strike Back''.
* ''The Prayer Warriors: The Titans Strike Back'', which returns to ''[[Harry Potter (Literaturenovel)|Harry Potter]]''. Co-story with ''Attack of the Sphinx''.
* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130624135738/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7577812/1/The_Prayer_Ponies_Friendship_Is_Through_Jesus The Prayer Ponies: Friendship Is Through Jesus]'', a spin-off written by Ebony Brown, focusing on [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]. Decidedly less disturbing than Thomas' fics.

The Prayer Warriors has also spawned several copy-cat fanfics:

=== ''[[The Prayer Warriors (Fanfic)|The Prayer Warriors]]'' series provides examples for the following tropes: ===
 
----
{{tropelist}}
== General ==
* [[A Million Is a Statistic]]: The Prayer Warriors routinely curb stomp entire armies and destroy buildings with large groups of people in them (a coliseum, the Taj Mahal) without even so much as a thought.
* [[Aggressive Categorism]]: Jerry's brand of Christians are the One True Religion, all other religions are satanic.
** Men superior, [[Transformers: theThe Movie|women inferior]].
* [[All Crimes Are Equal]]: And the punishment is almost always death. Jerry even says that if a starving child steals some food, one should cut his/her hands off.
* [[Altum Videtur]]: Those that can read his Latin often say it's a [[Blind Idiot Translation]]. For an example, he says "Ego vere fidelis in cuniculis" to prove that he speaks Latin. It means something like "[[Mind Screw|I truly trustworthy in burrows]]."
* [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil]]: The villains, as well as [[Stupid Evil|Always Stupid Evil]]
* [[And That's Terrible]]
* [[Anticlimax]]: '''MANY''', largely thanks to [[Plot Holes]] or [[Writer Cop Out|Writer Cop Outs]]s
* [[Art Evolution]]: As the author (assuming he's not a troll) becomes more and more unhinged, the stories become more and more disturbing. The characters - who are already [[Ax Crazy]] - become more and more spiteful and sadistic (such as defiling bodies by urinating on them, hoping Molly Weasley will miscarry, and cackling about sending people to Hell) In ''Battle With the Witches'', curses were introduced, and a few F-Bombs were even dropped. Finally, in ''Threat of Satanic Commonism'', the [[Beige Prose]] beheadings were replaced with graphic depictions of the Prayer Warriors mutilating their opponents in cold blood
* [[Art Shift]]: Chapters co-written by Noah are much easier to read, and even offer some potential character development. The chapters of ''The Evil Gods II'' that were written by Ebony read like a real fanfic.
Line 62 ⟶ 63:
* [[Easy Evangelism]]: Sometimes, nobody has to do anything to convert somebody.
* [[Easy Road to Hell]]: All you have to do is disagree with the author. On anything.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: To ''[[My Immortal (Fanfic)|My Immortal]]'', not helping its case due to the sheer number of similarities this series has to the fanfic. [[Word of God]] states that all those references were done unintentionally.
* [[For the Evulz]]: The only reason the Satanists do anything.
* [[The Fundamentalist]]: EVERYONE, including the villains who willingly worship "false gods" because [[Good Is Boring]].
Line 74 ⟶ 75:
* [[Hollywood Satanism]]: Take every negative stereotype of Satanism ever, and ramp it [[Up to Eleven]]. You've got the villains in the story.
* '''[[Hypocrite]]''': Our heroes in the worst sense of the word. Also see the [[Double Standard]] entries.
* [[I Call HerIt "Vera"]]: William has a sword called "Forgiveness" and Draco has an axe called "Peace." [[Ironic Nickname|They mutilate people with them]].
* [[In Name Only]]
* [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]]: Our heroes.
Line 82 ⟶ 83:
* [[Kill the God]]: The Prayer Warriors do this to every non-Abrahamic god and goddess they meet.
* [[Lawful Stupid]]: The heroes
* [[Madonna-Whore Complex]]: Played [[Anvilicious|Anviliciously]]ly and nauseatingly straight.
* [[Missing Episode]]: According to the author's profile, and mentioned a certain points in his fanfics, Thomas Brown was going to write fanfic titled ''The Prayer Warriors: Kingdom Under Shadow''. It was going to be a Star Wars fanfic, but so far the author has not publish anything under this name.
* [[Moral Dissonance]]: The heroes are fond of denouncing something, and then doing that exact thing a moment later. Like saying [[Science Is Bad]], and then using chemistry to kill poisonous plants.
* [[Murder Is the Best Solution]]
* [[Off Withwith His Head]]: Jerry's main method of killing besides stoning people to death.
* [[Offstage Villainy]]: Very rarely do the villains do anything evil in front of our faces. The worst example is when they claimed to be behind both World Wars, but never even explained how they did it.
** The only exception is Jupiter, which ironically is the only character that never gets punished for his evil deeds.
Line 93 ⟶ 94:
* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]: In disturbing quantities.
* [[Plot Hole]]: Tons of them throughout the series. Let's just say that they're not known for consistency.
* [[Poe's Law]]: It's really hard to tell if this is a [[Troll Fic]] or not. The author denies being a troll repeatedly (but then again, so do most trolls), and there's a lot of people who also claim he's not. But there are so many over-the-top, offensive Christian and conservative stereotypes, funny misspellings, and obvious [[Critical Research Failure|Critical Research Failures]]s, that it's hard NOT to believe he's a troll. The ''[[My Immortal]]'' parallels in ''Battle With the Witches'' doesn't help.
** The writer cites [[Conservapedia]] with apparent seriousness, which suggests he's either a troll or profoundly ignorant.
* [[Prayer of Malice]]: One of Jerry's methods of offing his enemies, when he's not throwing rocks at them or cutting their heads off.
Line 100 ⟶ 101:
* [[Religion of Evil]]: All of the non-Christians.
* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]
* [[Sex Is Evil]]: [[Anvilicious|Anviliciously]]ly stated in almost every fic.
* [[Sexy Discretion Shot]]: If there is any sex, the author skips over it because he doesn't want anybody getting "an organism."
* [[Stay in Thethe Kitchen]]: How women are generally regarded throughout the fic.
* [[Stop Being Stereotypical]]: Most of the reviews for this fic.
* [[Straw Character]]: ALL of the villains are just there to be "wrong" and "satanic" and to either die horribly at the hands of the Prayer Warriors or (much less often) to convert to their cause. These fics could be called, "[[The War On Straw]]: The Fanfic Series"
* [[Take That, Critics!]]: In ''Battle With the Witches'' and ''Threat of Satanic Commonism'', the Prayer Warriors sometimes fight--[[Curb Stomp Battle|and win]]--against—against representations of the people who badmouthed the fics.
* [[Tautological Templar]]: The main heroes, to levels that would even sicken and/or scare the hell out of [[Jack Chick]].
* [[That Makes Me Feel Angry]]
Line 122 ⟶ 123:
* [[Gratuitous Rape]]: The random rape scene in a god's temple.
* [[Honor-Related Abuse]]: When Jerry is told that Mary cheated on him with Percy, he immediately kills her without even considering if it might be true or not.
* [["It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It"]]: The heroes come across a girl being raped while [[Curb Stomp Battle|steamrolling across Camp Half-Blood]]. She's screaming, which means she isn't enjoying it–which is lucky for her, or else she would have been [[Kick the Dog|convicted of adultery]] and ''[[Disproportionate Retribution|stoned to death]]''.
* [[No Except Yes]]: From Chapter 1: "I and her are not dating, if you Satanic scum think that there is something Satanic going on. We are dating, but we are not having Sex until we get married."
* [[Ten Little Murder Victims]]: After shooing away Percy, Jerry realizes there's a mole in his midst and goes searching for it...when he's not screwing around, that is.
Line 128 ⟶ 129:
 
== The Battle with the Witches ==
* [[An Offer You Can't Refuse]]: Voldemort tells Draco to kill Michael, or he'll kill Ebony. [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene|This is never touched upon again]].
* [[Anticlimax]]: Dumbledore is thrown out of a window, and Harry is struck by a [[Bolt of Divine Retribution]].
* [[Beard of Evil]]: Apparently, we can tell Dumbledore is evil just from looking at his beard.
Line 134 ⟶ 135:
* [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French|Everything Sounds More Satanic In French]]: French is branded as a "Satanic language."
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: Ginny and Harry's offscreen deaths.
* [[IKEA Erotica]]: The one time a [[Sexy Discretion Shot]] was not used, we got this. It's largely thanks to [[Unusual Euphemism|Unusual Euphemisms]]s like "peeling the skin of an onion."
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Nothing happens to Voldemort. Probably because everyone forgot about him.
* [[La Résistance]]: The band of "secret Christians" within Hogwarts in ''Battle With the Witches''.
Line 143 ⟶ 144:
 
== Threat of Satanic Commonism ==
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: The constant anachronistic battle scenes that seem like bastardized versions of ''[[The Iliad (Literature)|The Iliad]]'' and ''[[The Odyssey (Literature)|The Odyssey]]'' tend to induce this. Chariots and bronze breastplates are apparently standard military issue... in ''1917 Russia''. For even more weirdness, at one point, Clarisse tries to get a fallen Soviet's weapon "because he had a good gun" .<ref>a ''[[Call of Duty (Video Game)|Call of Duty]]'' reference?</ref>.
* [[Anticlimax]]: Mary points a gun to Lennon at the end of Chapter 11. Chapter 12 picks up with the Prayer Warriors burning the coliseum to the ground, revealing then and there that Lennon was killed.
* [[Artistic License History]]: Apparently, Soviet Russia was ruled by ''[[Critical Research Failure|John Lennon]]''.
Line 168 ⟶ 169:
* [["Find Out Next Time!"]]: At the very end, someone admits to being [[The Mole]]. After scrolling down the page, we get this.
* [[Holy Burns Evil]]: Jason chases away the vampire by flashing a cross at her.
* [[I Lied]]: A dying Roman goddess tells an unknown Prayer Warrior where Jupiter went to if they'll forgive her. After she dies...the Prayer Warrior reveals this trope and cackles with glee that she's going to Hell. [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Our heroes, ladies and gentlemen!]]
* [[I Love the Dead]]: Jupiter.
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: In Noah's bonus chapter, {{spoiler|the Prayer Warriors are arrested for all the murders they committed, and Ebony is arrested for bigamy. Percy and Draco Malfoy were placed in a mental asylum, as it was revealed that they were brainwashed by the Prayer Warriors.}}
Line 177 ⟶ 178:
* [[Ten Little Murder Victims]]: Thelia believes that a tractor-er, traitor among the camp has been selling the rest of them out to Satan.
* [[Unsound Effect]]:
{{quote| "Evil laugh!" said the vampire.}}
* [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]]: The vampire.
 
 
== The Titans Strike Back ==
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: Harry and Dumbledore are revived...[[As You Know|as shown in an exposition]].
* [[Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome]]: Jerry/Jeremy of all people! This probably won't stick, of course...
* [[With Us or Against Us]]: Invoked by Draco when he had cornered a titan on a ship. He immediately threatens to kill anyone who doesn't go along with his plan.
Line 192 ⟶ 193:
* [[Climbing the Cliffs of Insanity]]: Fluttershy does this in Chapter 6 in order to prove herself to the other ponies.
* [[Dead Fic]]: Ebony announced in an author's note in ''The Evil Gods II'' that she will not be continuing ''The Prayer Ponies''.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Ebony appears to have only done the most minimal research on ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''. For starters, the "mark on their butts" are called Cutie Marks, but she doesn't seem to know the term exists. Worse yet, Princess Celestia's name is constantly misspelt as "Celestica", and Rainbow Dash is apparently a ''boy''.
* [[Holy Burns Evil]]: Charity-Sue banishes the evil trees by praying.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Princess Celestia suddenly gains a demonic form when Jesus is mentioned.
