Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })As its name indicates, Tiberium Wars is a Novelization of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars by the same author behind Forward and Renegade. The fanfic was written in direct response to the official novelization. As would be expected, it follows the actual game's plot fairly closely, though it takes a highly in-depth look at the Tiberium universe, and creates numerous characters to populate the otherwise faceless armies of the Global Defense Initiative and the Brotherhood of Nod, as well as exploring the respective factions' technology, history, and mindset. Established characters are used (with some of them even getting their own extra subplots) as well as original characters filling in the roles of infantrymen, tankers, pilots, and the faceless commanders.The fic is notable for its brutal, stark, and explicit vision of the endless war being waged between GDI and Nod, with heavy emphasis on realistic military operations and the chaotic and merciless nature of war. Combat is meticulously described, and the war itself is savage, violent, and often senseless. At the same time, though, neither GDI nor Nod are depicted as monsters, and a number of both sympathetic and despicable characters are portrayed. The author admits that he places more emphasis on GDI, having hinted that he considers them to be the series' true "good guys."Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The author himself has stated that he was heavily inspired by Dan Abnett's Gaunt's Ghosts series, as well as Warhammer 40,000 in general. Other inspirations include nonfiction works like Generation Kill and House To House: A Soldier's Memoir. As the fic is based on the military and warfare, expect to see lots of Military and Warfare Tropes.The series is also very quotable, as the sheer number of excerpts that have been quoted on This Very Wiki prove. | |

Genre Shift | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: The specialty of the 'fic is portraying war as realistically and terribly as possible... with the exception of the parts of the story involving Havoc, who seems to be enjoying himself immensely and somehow emits a reality-warping aura that allows him to behave as if he was in a Schwarzenegger or Stallone 'flick. This is justified because hell, he's Havoc, and by the Rule of Awesome. | |

Death from Above | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_1c398324 | comment |
Death from Above: Anytime a named character gets into an aircraft's cockpit, something on the ground dies hard. Chapter Sixteen has a six-paragraph segment that consists of nothing but aircraft blowing the crap out of Nod troops and vehicles on the ground. Chapter Seventeen has the CBU-1007, a smart cluster bomb that dispenses a mixture of high explosive bomblets and white phosphorous incendiaries. It is described as "God scooped up a bucket of hell, took a piss in it, and then poured it down over the men below." Chapter Twenty-Two has an inversion; Vertigo bombers are loaded with huge numbers of fire-suppressant canisters to stop Rawne's firestorm in the dead Amazon River Basin from sweeping over his own troops. In Chapter Twenty-Three there's a GDI Wild Weasel mission involving a group of Firehawks that use their stratosphere boosters to fly over Nod radar coverage and then come straight down on the SAM control bunkers. It is explicitly described as "playing Zeus." | |

The Juggernaut | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_1eed8e76 | comment |
The Juggernaut: Mammoth Tanks. The first scene involving them practically casts them as Godzilla in a Kaiju movie, with Nod as the massively outmatched Godzilla Defense Force. Indeed, not one reference of a Mammoth tank going down is made during the defense of the Pentagon, even when going up against Avatars. Later on, it's mentioned that a heavy anti-tank ambush from Nod took out a Mammoth, and a bombing mission cost another three. | |

No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Brother-Captain Allen proceeds to beat the tar out of Grigorovich after the latter attempts to rape Telfair; quoting rules from the Nod handbook while doing so (and causing some pretty severe damage to the room they're in). Then he throws him out a window. The Nod invasion itself can be considered one of these, too. The fight between Gutierrez and Cristos in Chapter Sixteen, too. | |

State Sec: True to the games, the fic portrays the Brotherhood of Nod's Black Hand as this. They're a separate army that operates under its own command structure, answering only to Kane. One of the GDI intelligence reports states that Black Hand units are dispatched to troubled areas with civil unrest to reestablish order, among other things, and Black Hand officers of significantly lower rank are able to overrule high-ranking Nod officers. | |

The Dreaded | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: The Black Hand have a tendency to inspire reflexive terror in any GDI soldiers they meet, and for good reason. Commandos on both sides are seen as this. Fullerton's work in Chapter Twenty-three is nothing short of terrifying, as is the Nod Commando in Chapters Fifteen and Sixteen. And the minute Kane finds out that Havoc is back in the field, he gives an order to have all units be on the alert for a GDI Commando behind their lines - acknowledging that he still sees Havoc as just as much of a threat as he did two wars ago. Mammoth Tanks, The reaction of Nod soldiers facing them and their first arrival on the battlefield is complete and utter terror. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: The Brotherhood of Nod may be loose on the rules of war, but certain crimes such as rape are classified as "Crimes Against the Messiah" and are punished by summary execution. In Chapter Sixteen, Lieutenant Cristos comments to herself that she believes Nod has "some semblance of a moral code," unlike her perception of GDI. | |

Handsome Lech | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_3a967286 | comment |
Handsome Lech: Commander Rawne is an unabashed skirt-chaser, and at one point he promotes an attractive female soldier who was wounded in battle to his personal guard, and gives her improved eye implants to replace the damage she suffered to her own. It is implied the only reason he did this is because she's cute. Later on, Kilian Qatar "bribes" Rawne by giving him a billet in a mostly-female Hand of Nod. Rawne is very appreciative. Rawne's lechiness is traceable even in the first chapter: The latest chapter even shows him the morning after with an Avatar pilot, and he mentally describes the differences between her and other women he's bedded, i.e. her softness and the sensitivity of her skin around her implants, and how he finds her mechanically-logical yet sarcastic nature charming. | |

| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_3ac583f4 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: Strongly cynical. It does depict a war, after all. Hell, the very first words in the prologue are the famous quote from Robert A. Heinlein claiming how force is necessary to guarantee survival. The quote is a subversion/commentary on such attitudes in-universe, as the fanfic itself is about Tiberium War Three, the extraordinary amount of violence in the previous two having indeed achieved little. | |

Powered Armor | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_3d59c9a0 | comment |
Powered Armor: GDI's Zone Troopers and Nod's Black Hand. GDI commandos also wear a very powerful version, with strength-enhancing technology and armor resistant to small arms to the point that a Nod soldier can empty his entire rifle at point blank into said commando's chest and do nothing at all. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: The intial invasion of the US Eastern Seaboard initially goes this way for Nod, who have sufficient numbers to steamroll any resistance. The battle for Langley AFB gradually becomes this for Nod, as Karrde's troops come close to being overwhelmed and outnumbered... and then the Marines show up. See Big Damn Heroes above. The battle for the Pentagon becomes this for GDI when the Mammoths show up. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The GDI Firehawk squadrons have EAA units, a sort of squad-wide networked AI that helps them with targeting, operations, and coordination. The AI units for each squad become erratic when Firehawks are switched out of a particular squad and new aircraft are brought in without the EAAs on the older machines being wiped. Generally-speaking, though, AI is not a crapshoot in the setting; EVA units are extremely reliable, apparently due to safeguards since CABAL's rebellion. The fact that EVA units don't seem to have either personality or identity beyond their functions seems to help. | |

Doom Troops: Tiberium Wars presents the Black Hand as these; when a GDI infantry squad encounters a squad, the corporal in command completely flips out in terror at the sight. Later on, when a Black hand unit ambushes a GDI convoy, the mere sight of the Hands is enough to terrify a GDI officer into paralysis. | |

Author Tract | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_4eaa9b84 | comment |
Author Tract The author has a boiling hatred for the official novelization; although this never explicitly enters Writer on Board territory, he does let his rage flow full-force in many of the afterwords for his chapters. He's also made it clear he has a great dislike for humanoid walkers like the Titan, Wolverine, and Avatar, and that he has no qualms about using his story to decry them. There are also some much more subtle jabs and pokes in the story, such as some commentary on the interaction between the media and the military, and a general impression of War Is Hell. Also, rape is bad. Really bad. As in, Kane authorizes summary execution of anyone caught sexually assaulting civilians or prisoners of war. This can also fall under depicting war realistically: it's an awesome way to get caught with your pants down, make new enemies, and generally encourage the enemy to fight to the death. You have to start hitting angering all the gods, including the evil ones, to come up with a single Stupid Evil act that's more stupid. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Lt. Kirce James comes off as very self-important, overly serious and dramatic, but Karrde figured it didn't matter as she does her job incredibly well. I mean, what else can you say about a person who gets you such support as an Ion Cannon, the marines, a thousand Mammoth Tanks on short notice? For that last account, Karrde jokingly tells Lt. James that he could use a couple of divisions reinforcement of artillery and armors for the Battle of Washington D.C. and wholly expects her to recognize the joke. She apparently doesn't. | |

Armor Is Useless: Subverted somewhat. Against GDI body armor, lightly armed Nod militants have to aim for weak points, though more well-equipped troops have no problem taking them out. Against Zone Trooper or Black Hand armor... well... if you're really lucky, you might get a lucky shot on their optics and throw off their aim a bit. Otherwise, anti-tank weapons work. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality | |

Grey and Gray Morality: Neither GDI nor Nod are represented as angels, nor are they overwhelmingly villainous. Atrocities, brutality, compassion, and mercy occur with troops on both sides. | |

No One Gets Left Behind: An exceptionally brutal example in Chapter Seventeen, where Brother-Captain Alvarez holds his position at the White House to allow Nod troops to evacuate to safety and to receive wounded. His position is eventually overrun, and he executes the remaining wounded to keep them from being captured by GDI. | |

Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_8a817c2a | comment |
Also, rape is bad. Really bad. As in, Kane authorizes summary execution of anyone caught sexually assaulting civilians or prisoners of war. This can also fall under depicting war realistically: it's an awesome way to get caught with your pants down, make new enemies, and generally encourage the enemy to fight to the death. You have to start hitting angering all the gods, including the evil ones, to come up with a single Stupid Evil act that's more stupid. | |

Unusual User Interface | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_8db4988a | comment |
Unusual User Interface: Nod Avatars work with a sort of mind/machine interface that involves the pilot being closely linked to the Avatar and the AI controlling it. As a result, the pilot effectively shares his mind with a machine intelligence, and controls the Avatar as an extension of his own body. Vertigos have something similar; the pilots' eyelids are held open by their helmet and are kept hydrated by an in-helmet system, so he can process information faster. Also, the "Combat Computer" (aka "Comcom") used by GDI Battle Commanders is a wrist-mounted device with a holographic interface that transmits data directly to the user's retina via laser. | |

Better to Die than Be Killed: Nod's forces firmly believe that GDI will torture their captured Brothers and rape their Sisters, so when they are forced to fall back and leave their immobile wounded behind, one of their captains personally executes each and every invalid. GDI sees this as Nod denying them intelligence and prisoners. | |

Karrde has a single electronic eye that replaced one he lost in the Rio Uprising, Sergeant Marona has both of her eyes replaced due to shrapnel wounds, and Nick "Havoc" Parker is heavily augmented due to his age and long experience as a commando. Avatar pilots, as note above, are heavily augmented as well. Nod in general features a lot of cybernetic bits in their troops, as well as tiberium-based bio-augmentation. | |

One-Man Army | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_9e943076 | comment |
One-Man Army: Commandos, on both sides. The Nod commando in Washington was able to use stealth and rapid-firing lasers to cut apart entire platoons of GDI troops; the only way Colt survived tangling with her was by leading her outside, where a sniper team blew her head off. Colonel Nick Parker, despite being a very old man, is still a terror in combat (he kills a Black hand Acolyte in close combat with just a knife!) A "modern" GDI commando appears in Chapter 23, and lives up to the name, slaughtering dozens of Nod soldiers singlehandedly. | |

Elite Mooks | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_9edbda07 | comment |
Elite Mooks: In between the Cannon Fodder Nod militia and the Power Armored Black Hands are Nod's "professional" soldiers: troops equipped with standardized armor, helmets, and generally laser weapons. They appear from time-to-time in the series, are the ones operating vehicles and artillery, and play a major role in the second act of the story. According to Word of God, their uniforms are essentially lighter versions of the armor worn by Nod's light infantry in Tiberian Sun; semi-official fanartwork here gives them a Doom Troops vibe. | |

Oh, Crap!: both sides, quite often. Corporal Colt has a particularly potent one when he spots the Black Hand. Apparently, GDI training instills a deep fear of the Black Hand in every soldier.

Blood Knight: Lieutenant Wallace, who seems to enjoy killing Nod simply for the sake of killing Nod.

Justine Marisol is almost like an opposite number on the Nod side; when offered a chance to sit out of a battle once her Shadow Team's objective was completed, her response was to go right back in, because she was "bored." | |

The Spartan Way | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_bf72d5e8 | comment |
The Spartan Way: Subverted; the document at the end of Chapter Twenty-Three explains that the reason why the GDI commando program has a "22% fatality rate and 98% washout rate" is because people make the mistake of assuming that commandos are trained in the traditional manner. Commando "training" is simply the fact that you're even in the commando program to begin with. There's only two ways out of the commando program once you join: you leave and go back to the regular military ("washing out") or you die in combat and that people criticizing/praising the "brutality" of the "training" are misrepresenting it for their own ends. | |

Boom, Headshot! | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_c3585f4a | comment |
Boom, Headshot!: The only reliable way for a GDI infantryman to even slow down a Black Hand soldier is to shoot out his helmet's combat optics. Both averted and played straight by Sgt. Joshua Havers who sometimes takes the time to line up a shot, but will usually just shoot whatever body-part falls under his crosshairs first. Not that a headshot is all that important to a .50-caliber discarding-sabot round fired from a scoped RAILGUN. | |

The Chains of Commanding Brother-Captain Alvarez of the Black Hand is characterized by something similar, having been deeply affected by executing his own wounded while withdrawing from Washington. In contrast, Commander Rawne is notable for not being affected by the deaths of his troops, if only because he refuses to get close to them in order to remain detached. Commander Rawne is beginning to feel this in the latest chapter. | |

Loads and Loads of Characters: Whose population are kept in check through very violent means. To give you a rough idea, the author has a separate text document solely devoted to force organization, and apparently filled out the entire battalion roster for the 103rd Recon Division's 4th Battalion. To put this in perspective, 4th Battalion is explictly said at one point to have more than five-hundred and fifty soldiers in it. And they're only one of the units focused on in the story. | |

Hypocrite | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
Hypocrite: Both the GDI and Nod, to various degrees. Rawne calls the GDI hypocrites for claiming to hate Tiberium despite still using it for everything. Of course, this opinion is colored by his religious reverence of Tiberium. A better example is how GDI claims to be a bastion of civilization and life, when the Blue Zones consist of the smallest segment of the planet and they care little for what happens in the Yellow Zones. This has left the people in the Yellow Zones easy prey for Nod radicalization. Nod preaches peace, but also the brutal murder of anyone they can't recruit or control. If they were willing to ally with GDI (which happened in the heavily-panned Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight), they could guide Earth into a golden age, but they're more interested in killing anyone who won't listen to their "truth." This likely has to do with the fact that Kane doesn't actually care about his own doctrine; he's just preaching what will allow him to accomplish his goals. | |

Crossover | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: Sort of - basically, it's Command and Conquer In the Style of... Gaunt's Ghosts, with a bunch of diverse world-building elements taken from wherever feels appropriate (such as the Black Hand as Space Marines, and various units from the Kane's Wrath expansion appearing despite it being the story of Tiberium Wars). Oh, and when Havok shows up, everything becomes an action film. There is a hint to Red Alert in the game's intelligence files, but otherwise the Tiberium and Red Alert subseries were separated around the time the Tiberian branch became the Tiberium branch. This fanfic, on the other hand, in an offhand mention makes clear that something very much like the original Red Alert did happen. | |

War Is Hell | |
| Tiberium Wars / Fan Fic / int_f1d6144a | comment |
War Is Hell: GDI troops covered in dirt and grime, men bleeding out while looking for limbs, Nod soldiers wading through rivers of excrement (with one man even getting some of it into a fresh bullet wound!), soldiers being burnt alive, a soldier remarking that they found one too many left hands while clearing a bombed-out bunker, and one extremely chilling pre-chapter quote about a GDI trooper seeing a young girl missing both her legs... At one point, Kane even casually remarks that a million people have died before the end of the first day of the war. That's a million on each side, plus several times as many civilians. And three weeks into the war, GDI has managed to fill an entire stadium with three hundred thousand body bags from the casualties around Washington DC alone. The death of Corporal Goodman seems to be a deliberate play to this. His death is fundamentally disturbing, as not moments before he was feeding Sandra Telfair, and apologizing to her for the rape attempt on her by his squadmate. And then she's forced to cut his throat to escape. There's also the fact that the story didn't shy away from the danger of female POWs being raped, to the point that the Brotherhood actually authorizes summary execution of anyone caught in the act. Chapter Sixteen shows what its like to be on the receiving end of a Mammoth Tank assault. Its about as hellish and terrifying as one can imagine. Brother-Captain Alvarez executing his own wounded because he believes they will be tortured and raped by GDI troops if captured is one of the most stark examples of just how cruel war can really be. It's lampshaded to Karrde that that is what war is "You point, you click, they die", which makes sense given that it's based on a game after all. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted in the case of Private Marona, an attractive young Nod soldier who has her face shredded by shrapnel from a grenade, destroying her eyes and doing a lot of damage elsewhere in the process. Captain Burke of the Forgotten is another example of this being strongly averted. She is described as probably being attractive in her youth, but her face is scarred, tiberium crystals are growing out of her face, and she's been "weathered" by long years living in a Yellow Zone and fighting Nod. | |
