| The Crusaders | comment |
The Crusaders, written by Pancake Overdose, is a Web Serial Novel centered around, well... The Crusaders, a superhero team created by a government agency to combat the rising threat of supervillains in their world.10 years have passed since the Age of Supers ended, and the world has found new ways to defend itself. Yet, for reasons unclear, the DSA has decided to kick-start the Second Age of Superheroes by forming a brand-new superhero team. Unfortunately, since they got rid of all the good heroes, they'll have to settle on whatever they can find.So far, that superhero team includes a rich and highly procrastinating alien immigrant and complete superhero fanboy who dreams of using his energy powers to be like his childhood idols, but has no real applicable skills; a blind martial artist monk with psychic powers and an optimistic outlook that disguises the struggles he's faced his whole life; an overly-talkative genius engineer whose sociable tendencies don't keep her from getting sucked into her own little world of strange science; a high school student whose power to heal others can't fix her soft-spoken stuttering and social anxiety; a childlike shape-shifting creature made out of living lime jelly who wants no part in any violence despite being a living weapon; and, a centuries-old vampire who has grown to resent everyone and everything around him, but fights for mankind for reasons unknown.Earth is surely in good hands.The story follows the adventures of Kon Dui, the young, wealthy, alien immigrant struggling to fulfill his life-long aspirations to superheroism instilled in him by the first Age of Superheroes, and the team of inexperienced psychological train-wrecks he was assigned to. The Crusaders, at first, find themselves lacking any villains to fight and struggling to co-exist together. However, they soon end up with a lot more than they originally bargained for on both those fronts, and find themselves changed, as a result.Family and Teamwork are the major themes in regard to the character development of the team, as they slowly come to view themselves as more than a group of individuals fighting crime.Volume One of the web serial has been completed, spanning over 250,000 words that the writer intends to go over and edit to improve, for the benefit of his fans, future and present. He has also written a prologue featuring the events leading to the formation of The Crusaders, and a crossover with Tiamatty's The Champions.Soon after Volume One's completion, Volume Two of The Crusaders was started, and is currently ongoing.The writer is very open to discussion, and will gladly answer any questions you have about the verse, provided it won't spoil the story, of course.Not to be confused with the video game. | |

Alternate Timeline | |
| The Crusaders / int_19b6f396 | comment |
Alternate Timeline: The story is set in alternate history universe where the past is littered with occurrences of the supernatural and the strange. In the present, an alliance between the collective governments of Earth and various alien planets in the Andromeda galaxy rule together over the civilised universe following their joining forces to prevent a race of alien warriors from invading Earth in the early 1970s. The introduction of alien elements and fantastic new technologies after this war led to the rising up of superheroes and supervillains, and the period of their struggles - the Age of Supers - reigned for decades, until the final battle between both sides leveled New York City. After this, the government-run Department of Superheroic Affairs turned on both heroes and villains, driving the leftover good guys into retirement or disappearance with new anti-superhero laws and the bad guys into prison. During the events of The Second Planetary War, Moscow was destroyed. | |

Reality Ensues | |
| The Crusaders / int_1d9a2764 | comment |
Reality Ensues: Powers aren't random, or widespread. Typically, one has to work to get extranormal abilities. Vigilantes are promptly tracked down and arrested by the DSA. Members of the team regularly have arguments, due to their conflicting personalities and ideals. The heroes aren't a team of vigilantes running around with free-reign. They work for the government. | |

Differently Powered Individual | |
| The Crusaders / int_330a3b9c | comment |
Differently Powered Individual: There are quite a few ways of gaining powers in the Crusader-verse. One can have extranormal abilities via: Being an alien. Augmenting your abilities with extra-terrestrial technology. Gaining powers from radiation from supernatural or extra-terrestrial sources. Intentional or accidental mutation of genes, or organs. Practicing sorcery or magic. Enhancement from divine beings. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| The Crusaders / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The effect electricity has on Gunk comes back to bite The Crusaders in the butt. Before leaving to fight Anarchy's monster, Starbolt makes a crack about the team getting captured. Nocturne's defense of Jimmy Nomad, considering he usually took on an apathetic role regarding the team, makes more sense with the reveal that he's gay. The lack of the DSA's involvement with The Crusaders' dealings makes more sense reading back. | |

The Alcatraz | |
| The Crusaders / int_b905c10c | comment |
The Alcatraz: The Maximus Supervillain Containment Facility is where the more dangerous villains are held and it, thus, this. Doctor Anarchy managed to escape, though. | |

Anti-Hero: Nocturne, originally. Justified, considering what he's been through. | |

Break Them by Talking | |
| The Crusaders / int_bf110089 | comment |
Break Them by Talking: Starbolt apparently tries this with Doctor Anarchy, but the good Doctor was too far gone for it to have any effect. Almost every character attempts this in one way or the other. Everyone, not just The Crusaders. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
| The Crusaders / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Nocturne has a habit of saving people right in the nick of time, normally in the form of his knocking the villain away with a flurry of bats. Happens three times in the Revenge Of The Oni arc: First, Nocturne saves Umi from being killed by Kenomo, then Mind Master and Starbolt pull one in the resulting fight. Then, The Crusaders pull a final one, as Red Cross heals Nabu after he gets stabbed by Kenomo. A major one happens in Chapter 55, with Techsmith disabling Glorien's trump card before deliberately invoking the trope. | |

Cornered Rattlesnake: Kaleb thought he was one when Starbolt and Techsmith headed to his house to recruit him. They ended up having to resort to plan B as a result, and even that didn't work out as planned. | |

RunningGag | |
| The Crusaders / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Quite a few. The Crusaders LOVE to make speeches. Gunk's innocence and obliviousness to Earth's customs. Nocturne's tendency to get impaled through the stomach by swords. Nocturne's tendency to attack the villains with his chiropteran sorcery. Hand-to-Hand fighters have a habit of tripping their opponents by jerking on their ankles. Kon getting flustered when asked about Lizzy in the early chapters. Andrew and Umi's 'relationship'. In-universe, Lizzy apparently ends up naked a lot. "A Larp? What is this creature?" note Gistreth's lack of knowledge regarding Earth's customs had him misinterpreting a jab Nocturne tossed at him referencing Live Action Roleplaying. This: | |

Gadgeteer Genius | |
| The Crusaders / int_fbba5e98 | comment |
Gadgeteer Genius: Word of God implies that, due to the influence of the planet 'Rochen', there are quite a few on Earth. Techsmith is one, along with being a Technopath. Gistreth, the dwarf that accompanied Red Cross on her quest to save the realms, is one as well. | |
