----
=== ''Undocumented Features'' is divided into five sets of stories. They are, in more or less chronological order by internal dating: ===
 
;'''[http://www.eyrie-productions.com/UF/CORE/ Core]'''
Line 228:
** ''Enemy Ace''
*** Hans von Hammer appears as a member of Big Fire's Magnificent Ten (and a former opponent and later friend of [[Biggles]]) in ''Tales of the Lensmen: Before Victory Comes Honor''.
** ''[[The Flash]]''
*** In addition to all three generations of canon Flashes being present in the setting, Sara Sidle of the IPO CSI recently suffered an accident that connected her to the Speed Force.
** ''[[Green Lantern]]''
Line 346:
** Kaname Chidori Sterling and Sosuke Sagara are central characters in the ''DSM Panic!'' series of ministories.
 
* ''[[Fushigi YuugiYūgi]]''
** Miaka Yuuki and Yui Hongo are classmates of Anne Cross at Harkness Street High School.
 
Line 892:
** An in-universe manga entitled [http://www.eyrie-productions.com/Forum-docs/DCForumID25/281.html ''The Adventures of Master Tintin''] has begun to appear in the galaxy as of the early 2400s; it's a bizarre fusion of ''Tintin'' and ''Avatar: The Last Airbender'' (with Captain <s>Haddock</s>Haadoq as the Avatar!).
 
* ''[[ToejamToeJam and& Earl]] In Panic On Funkotron''
** Names of the planets Funkotron and Funkorama, in the Bodacious Vee system.
** The Big Kahuna Earl Bungee and his Main Man Toejam Kuwel are the leaders of the planet Funkotron.
Line 1,101:
 
== Tropes ==
{{tropemaker}}
* [[Married Mai Waifu For Real]]
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Academy of Evil]]: Ohtori Institute in the demiworld of Oriphos in the late "Future Imperfect" era of ''[[Undocumented Features]]''. It's actually run by a demon prince -- how much more evil can you get?
Line 1,125 ⟶ 1,128:
* [[Androids Are People, Too]]: If they are certified as sentient by the board on Turing III. (See [[Turing Test]] below.)
* [[Apocalypse How]]
* [[Apotheosis]]:
** In the ''Symphony of the Sword'' storyline, after [[Revolutionary Girl Utena|Akio Ohtori is killed by Utena Tenjou]], he is elevated by Surtur from damned soul to demon prince and set on the task of destroying the mortal forces that derailed the Ragnarok. Touga and Nanami Kiryuu, killed in the same incident, are also raised from damned souls to a demon and a succubus respectively, to serve as his <s>assistants</s> minions.
** In the same storyline, Corwin Ravenhair — son of [[Ah! My Goddess|Skuld Ravenhair]] and the (mortal) Midgard-Knight [[Self-Insert Fic|Ben Hutchins]] — must undergo a Trial of Ascension before he can claim his mother's divine heritage and become a god. This he does when he becomes the [[Magic Knight Rayearth|Pillar of Cephiro]] to keep the not-yet-dead Akio Ohtori from seizing its power:
{{quote| "I am Corwin Ravenhair of the Aesir," he announced, "son of the Midgard-Knight and of She Who Builds Tomorrow; Watcher O'er the World-Engine, Cavalier of Three Worlds, Chooser of the Slain. I am the Rune Knight of Iron. I am the Pillar of the Tenth World. All that Cephiro is, I am."}}
:* Averted with Corwin's cousin Hiroshi, son of Keiichi and Belldandy Morisato, who declines an ascension that he likewise qualifies for, preferring to live as a mortal.
* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: Beyond the "ordinary" technologies of the space opera setting, there is the "Overtechnology" controlled by the Wedge folks, even well into the Future Imperfect period.
* [[Arbitrarily-Large Bank Account]]: Most (if not all) of the Wedge Rats (and their families) have this in the Future Imperfect era and beyond just as a result of being 400+ years old with a reasonably stable galactic economy during all that time -- the simple effect of compound interest alone plus a banking system designed for the kind of cash supply available in an interstellar civilization makes it more or less inevitable. And that doesn't even include stocks, bonds and other investments outside of a plain savings account. MegaZone, in particular, has so much money on hand that early in ''The Symphony of the Sword'' he makes each of the refugees from Cephiro independently wealthy (except Saionji, who declines the offer) as part of building new identities for them in Midgard, and goes so far as to make Juri ''outrageously'' so. This, he explains, he does using bank and investment accounts he's had sitting around unused and half-forgotten for a century or more.
Line 1,258 ⟶ 1,266:
* [[Future Slang]]: Generally averted, unless it comes from one of the sources to begin with.
{{quote|Would you rather I made up painfully awkward, obviously contrived Future Slang the way they do in [[cyberpunk]]-themed [[RPG]]s? [[Shadowrun|Chummer]].|Gryphon}}
* [[Garage Band]]: More than a few are seen, involving some of the most unexpected characters... like [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Princess Azula]]. Surprisingly, [[It Makes Sense in Context]]. See ''I'm With the Band'' below in "Internal Tropes" for more details.
* [[Genre Busting]]: What started as a sort of [[Elsewhere Fic]] where heroines from ''[[Dirty Pair]]'' and a villain from ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]'' meet up with [[Self-Insert Fic|self-inserts]] from WPI has expanded to a [[High Fantasy]] [[Space Opera]] [[The Epic|epic]] spanning multiple genres.
** Within [[Fan Fiction]]: ''UF'' starts as [[Self-Insert Fic|Self-Insert]] [[Elsewhere Fic]]. Since many of the [[Author Avatar|Author Avatars]] have bands, [[Song Fic]] (in concert!) was inevitable. [[Recursive Fic]] was soon made, and then added into the canon (some of it [[Film Fic]]). The Exile brings a whole era of [[Dark Fic]]. Once that's over they have children with their waifus to make it [[Kid Fic]], which evolves into full-blown [[Next Gen Fic]] in ''Warriors of the Outer Rim'' and ''Symphony of the Sword'' (itself a [[Continuation]] of ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' ''and'' an [[Alternate Universe Fic]] of ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]''). Then the [[X-Men]] come over from an [[Alternate Universe Fic]] and teach the UF universe's versions of themselves in an [[High School AU]]. Not to mention the in-universe [[Slash Fic]], or [[Patchwork Fic]] of three different versions of ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'', or the [[Fix Fic]] elements that give Darth Vader a second chance. And somehow, it all blends together as a cohesive narrative.
Line 1,342 ⟶ 1,351:
* [[Magic Pants]]: Invoked by name in the Forums-only story ''The Balance'', where the Hulk is given an explicitly magical pair of cargo pants that resize themselves both ways. When the Hulk yields control to Banner at one point, Banner then absently invokes ''and'' [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] the trope while trying to disable a doomsday device.
{{quote|''Memo to self: see about getting a magic shirt to go with the magic pants. Maybe even some shoes.''}}
* [[Married Mai Waifu For Real]]: A significant percentage of the Author Avatars end up married to or in permanent long-term relationships with various hot fictional babes. Just to name a few:
** Gryphon and [[Dirty Pair|Kei]] (...and [[Ah! My Goddess|Skuld]], and [[Sakura Wars|Sumire Kanzaki]], and ...)
** Megazone and [[Dirty Pair|Yuri]]
** Rob Shannon and [[Tenchi Muyo!|Ayeka]]
** Redneck and [[Tenchi Muyo!|Wasyuu]]
** Hammer and [[Project A-ko|Eiko]]
:Most of the pairs above have at least one child. (And Hammer and Eiko have had a series of foster and adopted children.) There are so many children of avatars that starting with its ''Future Imperfect'' phase, ''UF'' has become focused on the adventures of next generation rather than the original Author Avatars.
* [[Mayfly-December Romance]]: Averted with [[Ah! My Goddess|Keiichi and Belldandy Morisato]]; as of the Future Imperfect era, they've passed their 200th anniversary (and still going strong!).
* [[Mechanical Lifeforms]]: The Transformers, who also have [[Heart Drive|Heart Drives]].
Line 1,571 ⟶ 1,587:
* [[Wham! Line]]
{{quote|"Blind we are," {{spoiler|Yoda}} said softly, as if only to himself. Then, in a slightly louder voice, he added, "Blind we have ''been''. Since the time of Nemo shar Atrados... blind we have been."}}
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: Subverted -- his{{who}} loved ones decide to get the immortality treatment as well. Then the people who care about ''them'', until ''every single Wedge Rat'' is immortal. As are their descendants.
** Played somewhat straight in ''Aegis Florea 2'' when {{spoiler|Sumire}} is revealed to have, as a result of a combination of this Trope, [[Victory Is Boring]] and {{spoiler|her own unrequited love for Gryphon}}, spent the previous forty years in the throes of a [[Heroic BSOD]] until {{spoiler|Kei}} reboots her with a [[What the Hell, Hero?]]/[["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] that is so scathing and insulting that she cannot help but to rouse from her self-imposed emotional stupor and get angry.
* [[Whole-Plot Reference]]: Part of the plot to ''Fulcrum of Fate, Part IV'', including Master Corto, is an extended reference to ''[[Apocalypse Now]]''.
Line 1,593 ⟶ 1,609:
 
{{tropelist|''Undocumented Features'' is large enough to have created its own internal tropes:}}
* '''Married Mai Waifu For Real.''' A significant percentage of the Author Avatars end up married to or in permanent long-term relationships with various hot fictional babes. Just to name a few:
** Gryphon and [[Dirty Pair|Kei]] (...and [[Ah! My Goddess|Skuld]], and [[Sakura Wars|Sumire Kanzaki]], and ...)
** Megazone and [[Dirty Pair|Yuri]]
** Rob Shannon and [[Tenchi Muyo!|Ayeka]]
** Redneck and [[Tenchi Muyo!|Wasyuu]]
** Hammer and [[Project A-ko|Eiko]]
** This is not just about [[Happily Ever After|getting the girl]]. These are full-fledged relationships; the characters have children, and have to balance work and their family life.
* '''I'm With The Band.''' Pick a character, any character. They are, or were, part of a rock band or its hangers-on.
** [[Ah! My Goddess|Belldandy and Keiichi]]? College garage[[Garage bandBand]].
** Princess Amanda of Gamilon? Private band with her brother and their bodyguards.
*** As well as Kait's old guitarist.
