'''''The Three Relics''''' is a [[Play By Post]] [[Pokémon]] roleplay on [[Gaia Online]] that was started in 2005 inside the Gaian Pokemon Academy by the user Mitsuko' and since then has reached over 1400 pages, totaling to nearly 21,000 posts. It follows the adventures of a group of young Pokemon trainers as they work towards their personal goals as trainers and coordinators. While it started as a much more comedic roleplay, the story-line hit [[Darker and Edgier|puberty]] and everything sort of [[Tone Shift|changed]] from there. In line with this shift in maturity, the focus of the story changed from the day to day life of the average Pokemon trainer, to the development of the characters through backstory and personal connections.
 
The Three Relics is currently headed by Airelesanya, Mikallen, and Andragoran.

{{tropelist}}
== ''The Three Relics'' can be described with, but is not limited, to the following tropes: ==
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Every moniker nationality under the red sun.
* [[Bag of Holding]]: Seriously. Where the ''hell'' do these kids find the pocket space for half this crap? Especially those kids with bikes.
Line 22:
* [[Fan Service]]: The aforementioned Beach Party, and that shower and bath scenes are written (at times) rather teasingly.
* [[Free-Range Children]]: From volcanos to shopping malls, these kids go places.
* [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]]: Certain technical aspects of the game don't appear in TTR, such as stats, attack damage, accuracy and other intricacies. Actual fights between players and NPCs are done on the honor system.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Being a PG-13 board with varying-aged members, some of the older, more perverted members have to be a bit more subtle when discussing adult topics. Some fail.
* [[Inspiration Nod]]: Notable examples include [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]] and an ass-load of [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]].
* [[Jerkass]]: Has a few of them. Notable (consistent) examples include Crenu and Keegan, but almost everyone has had their moments.
* [[Level Grinding]]: What's level 60?
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: At times averted, but for the most part true.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: As of now, the main roster has nearly 40 characters (with varying levels of activity), and that's not even counting the many NPCs.
* [[Money for Nothing]]: Gold is given to players for each level they gain, but where the money is received from is never explained, so characters have dug into their wallets to find out they are rich.
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: Sabrina after getting shot by Team Rocket, posing as a grunt after nursing her wound.
** Mike, after actually dying from falling down the side of the volcano, then resurrected by Moltres.
Line 35:
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: The policy has always stood that 'Real life comes first!'. As such, there have been many instances of players taking extended absences, or at times, simply disappearing.
* [[Real Time]]: Players only skip time when they are sleeping. Other than that, nearly every action is detailed.
* [[Side-Story Bonus Art]]: Everyone loves [[Fan Service|girls in bikinis]], [http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s104/Mikallen4/TTR/bikiniderpprev.jpg right?]
* [[Team Mom]]: Airelesanya, player of Kasiya, Jaeshan and many others, current head of TTR and guild leader of the GPA.
* [[Team Spirit]]: Not only with the Pokemon themselves, but the trainers at many points have to team up to take on challenges.
