Title: The Battle Variant N Discussion
Post by: Shane on November 06, 2013, 02:53:42 pm
Yeah, because I don't know if I'll post it here or wherever. :P

I'm busy with my characters right now, in terms of applying tropes to them.
I might need KarjamP's help here. :P

Any tropes that would work for a Princess who doesn't want to be one, and related tropes?
(Rather Random Rachel from TV Tropes mentioned the Rebellious Princess trope; would that work?)
(And yes, it's the Variant N-Kim; I figured it's better to not destroy the Variantial Timeline or something by not having a Kim in that variant :P)

If you need a full list of tropes, I might add it to my Troper Page later.

What is, ah, "The Battle"?

They're a series of Freeform RPG's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeform_role-playing_game) that usually takes place in a variation of the universe from the Dragon Riders saga (novels and mods).

Most (but not all) of the RPGs require its participants to fill out character sheets for its characters.

There's only a relatively few rules, which are recent. A few of these are:

By the way, KarjamP, since the Endanian Chronicles is, by my definition, also a "Battle" (there's a Draconia in it, apparently), what Variant is it in the Purple Karjam's books?

"Non-canon". :P

Even if there's a Shane and Kim? :P

Anyway, my Troper Page (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/ShaneBaneNeumann); the tropes regarding Variant N is at the bottom.
Taylor helped me with the tropes for Kim, prior to leaving.
And Triple R, KarjamP and Kyler Thatch helped out with the "Rebellious Princess" trope.
They all have my sincerest gratitude, of course. :)

At least, I don't consider it canon to PK's adventure.

You can classify that, if you want to.

Even if this... "PK" guy visits it solely for the purpose of meeting the protagonists after the main quest is complete, where they then head to another fictive planet where this PK guy comes from?

What's a PK?

PK = Purple Karjam (http://shanescavestory.createaforum.com/karjamp%27s-characters-87/(all)-the-purple-karjam/msg5906/#msg5906).

He's a multiverse wanderer who researches stuff, and his base of operations is in the Karjamian homeworld, Karjam's Domain (which is an infinite plane of existence).

His Birthworld, dubbed Purple_E, is named after both the name of its sole world with life (Earth) AND the fact that PK came from it.

Other than Area 51 being a secret base of operations for bizarre science experiments instead of an airport base like in real life (with said airport base being used as a cover), it's pretty much identical to just about any realistic Earths in fiction.

Um.

So far, Taylor's been helping me out with several characters' tropes; see them at the bottom of the page (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/ShaneBaneNeumann).
Taylor's still doing seven more characters' tropes, though.

...

Could someone who's a member here, and also at TV Tropes, please check through it to see if there are any mistakes, please?


EDIT:
I found a few mistakes; I'll be fixing those when I add two Cyphers soon and when Taylor sends me the remaining characters.
These two Cyphers are the only characters I worked on (aside from Chris and Shane) :o

I see nobody bothered to help you out. :P

I'm almost done with the other characters' Tropes, though I probably won't be participating.

Oh hey, Shane's using KarjamP's launched trope. :o
As part of the RPG. :o

Also, "class 6" is broken.

Yes.
Fixed.

I find it funny how KarjamP doesn't help out with the trope list of those characters. Or is it because they're so many? :o

I may be a troper, but I don't want to do everything. :P

Not even check for mistakes? :o

Well, I checked Shane's thingy once.

Only read Yoshiro's ones. :P
