Nobody is entirely certain why the Floating Castle exists, or where it came from, but it has been drawing adventurers towards it for decades. The Castle is rumoured to hold great riches, or secrets, or perhaps even magic, at the pinnacle of its one-hundredth floor, and many an aspiring hero has travelled there, to try their luck against the Castle's many challenges, all of them knowing that once they entered, there are only two ways to leave. For some, perhaps, this was the true appeal of the Castle: a new life in a world separated from any which had come before.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })But it seems the Castle lay abandoned for decades before newcomers began to arrive within its walls, drawn by the promise of riches, or adventure, or simply the chance to start a new life, and who knows what mysteries will dog them during their advances toward the one-hundredth floor. Welcome to a world of adventure and terror, where the odds are high that every single floor is going to hide at least one thing wanting to kill you. Welcome to the Floating Castle Roleplay.Oddly, the title 'castle' seems only fitting from the outside. Each floor is comprised of a large area of land with varied features and challenges, many of them unique to that particular floor. Each new floor is reachable via a strange elevator in the centre of town, and the journey grows increasingly more perilous the higher its players ascend. Each floor may hide rivers, caves, forests, mountains, ravines, abandoned buildings, temples, lakes— and that's not counting the many indigenous inhabitants who have been hanging around the Castle since time immemorial: everything from Goblins to Rock Golems. Perhaps they have a higher claim to the Castle than any of these newcomers? Each Floor Boss hides a gate to the next floor, and all the mysteries hidden there.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The goal of all players is to ascend to the one-hundredth floor, by dealing with the challenges each floor has to offer, be that a puzzle to solve, a conflict to end or, naturally, a monster to be defeated. The mysteries the Castle promises have attracted a diverse range of people from every possible walk of life, each with their own skills, weaknesses and troubled backstories; many of them are driven forward to the Castle by the events of their past.The Floating Castle Roleplay originated on the Watch the Footage forums, formerly home to the TV Tropes The Wall Will Fall Alternate Reality Game. It was originally put together by former player Pixelmage, with later support from eli_gone_crazy, Qara Xuan Zenith, and numerous members of the forum. The roleplay operates by pairing up various players and their characters for individual missions at random, making every post a Collaborative Project by the players. Players are also encouraged to create side stories, form their own alliances and rivalries, and explore their own plotlines outside of the main storyline.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The roleplay is currently accepting new players here.Not to be confused with the trope Ominous Floating Castle | |

Heroic BSoD | |
| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Characters seem to have these on a semi regular basis, although for some of them it's a part of their origin story, rather than an event in the RP. Tamar did not find out about Anjali and Julius' "deaths" in the best possible manner. This followed by his almost killing Luca... Ben's Heroic Blue screen leads to her offering up Severed Claw to Anjali. Said blue screen is completely justified given what was done to her. The same thing appears to have turned Julius into a one man killing machine. | |

Relatively Flimsy Excuse | |
| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_15a41205 | comment |
Relatively Flimsy Excuse: Anjali and Eliziya claim to be sisters even though Anji is an obviously caucasian redhead and Eliziya is this world's equivalent of Chinese. They ended up together after Anjali was blackmailed into kidnapping her, refused to kill her and ended up being saved by Eliziya herself, who then lost a lot of her memory and has been with Anjali ever since. | |

Relationship Upgrade | |
| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_161f1ebf | comment |
Relationship Upgrade: Subverted with Anjali and Julius. It was all pointing that way until the events of the Civil War caused an unfortunate separation. Half the castle are still holding their breaths, though. Then Played Straight with Eliziya and Tamar during the third boss battle. Yes, the first romantic relationship to occur between FC's player characters is a couple of teenagers. Then there's Anji and Kevin, the first pairing between a player character and an effective NPC Mirae and Marcus just upgraded too, in part due to players clamouring for it. | |

Death by Origin Story | |
| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_1aa76d29 | comment |
Death by Origin Story: It would be so much easier to list the exceptions to this trope. To clarify, so far only Curtiss, Morionem, Fern, Mirae, Likovya, and technically Eliziya do not have any highly significant deaths present in their backstories in some way. Ben's situation also technically does not involve any deaths although it's pretty traumatic all the same. | |

| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_2493b31d | comment |
Fire-Forged Friends: Most of the characters meet in extremely difficult, often life or death situations. Pan and Marcus meet while taking on a Behemoth rampaging around the town, Ben and Kurt meet while she's fighting a monster inside of her own head, while Tamar and Eliziya meet when they are attacked by Kobolds. | |

Anachronism Stew: The RP is primarily set in a fantasy medieval setting, however bits and pieces sneak through from other eras, including Dynamite, Magnets, and the Heimlich manoeuvre. | |

Oblivious to Love | |
| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_2848e7d2 | comment |
Oblivious to Love: Hector has about as much romantic awareness as he does a desire for book-based learning methods, and if he makes a comment that sounds like an innuendo, the odds are he doesn't realise he's doing it. He is, however overly attached to his weaponry. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: More of a cultural reference than a linguistic one, but Asha giving Eliziya a jade hairpin has a double meaning. In Chinese culture, giving a girl of Eliziya's age a Hairpin is a Rite of Passage signifying she is ready for marriage (although it is unlikely Asha is aware of this). Given that Eliziya is this world's equivalent of Chinese, and is written by a player from Singapore, this is undoubtedly deliberate. | |

Amplifier Artifact | |
| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_319e101e | comment |
Amplifier Artifact: Asha's Talismans are this to an extent as they were created with reference to previous rage influencing spells and items. Luca's Sword, Ba'al also fits this category. Trope continues with Tamar, whose weapon is actually the only way in which he can access his latent magical ability. Even then it only works with his own sword. | |

Elemental Powers: The primary forms of magic seen thus far are the most common fire based magic, Electricity, and ice.

Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Hector was apparently once known as The Jade Devil, although in the Castle, he doesn't act particularly demonic, it's clear he has a dark history... Some of the guilds have pretty questionable names too, ranging from Severed Claw to Phantom Thieves Anonymous. Then there's Mister Blank, the darker personality of Salvantas. | |

Blind Obedience | |
| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_674e8192 | comment |
Blind Obedience: The one truly powerful effect of the Talisman's Asha created was that they encouraged obedience towards those who acted against the Guilds but again, it's impossible to be sure how much of this was magically induced and how much was an excuse Tamar had a bit of this regarding his adherence to Hector's "Don't kill humans" police. He seems to have developed his own, similar stance though, since Luca called him out on it. | |

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality | |
| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_6ad1eeb8 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality: Floating Castle falls into the Almost Perfect Equality section (which is surprising given its era can be roughly traced to the Medieval period), but it sometimes depends where in the outside world the player characters came from. In the first mission, Ben encounters an undoubtedly sexist "Lord" who immediately assumes he can best her in a fight and that "wenches such as her need to learn their place," whereas Tamar's home in the Veil doesn't care what gender you are so long as you're good at killing people. | |

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The crystals in the underground change color depending on how much magic they detect in the surrounding area, with warmer colors signifying higher magic concentration. Zero magic means they're gray, slight traces turn them purple, and absolutely immeasurable amounts make them red. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: Everyone gets one of these. Seire deliberately avoids using stairs as a matter of principle. Then there's his response to Giselle during their meeting: Why would I leave anything that's tied down? I have scissors! We first meet Ben and Hector when they get into a fight against a corrupted Lord. Hector then mistakes Ben for a male, and starts waxing lyrical about the love of his life. Anjali is first introduced to us taking a nap in the city, and making a fast getaway when confronted by a thug. Tamar surprises Eliziya and ends up getting slapped, moments before the Kobolds attack. "Behold, I am Marcus! Slayer of Cows!" | |

Curtiss seems incapable of making any less than three references to prior adventures per mission- according to his author, it would be five if it weren't for the time limits. In particular, his second venture in the underground levels seems to draw heavily from his experiences during his first, and the crystal spike he looted from his fight with a golem also makes an appearance. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: In the mission to secure the path to the third floor, it's implied that the only reason a group of rakes attacked the player characters was because the resident idiot hero's posturing caused a cave-in that buried a good deal of the pack. Later in that same mission, a rock golem wreaks havoc on the team by shooting crystal spikes and making walls of stalagmites; one of the scouts uses a salvaged spike from the former attack to drop massive sections of the latter onto the golem's head. Again in the Underground mission, The Vermin Lord is killed by the insects and rats he once commanded after the altar allowing him to control them was broken. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Legias, leader of the town guard, while strict and suspicious by nature, is generally a benevolent leader who wants the best for the residents of the Castle. | |

Defeat Means Respect | |
| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_dd050410 | comment |
Defeat Means Respect: One of the soldiers sent after Hector is surprised to find that the so called "Jade Devil" who ruined their careers has turned over a new leaf and is a genuinely likeable guy. This leads to them all defecting from the Anti Guild and one in particular, Kain ends up providing Hector with the information he needs to find Luca and Asha. | |

Hub Level | |
| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_e7eb0474 | comment |
Hub Level: At the core of the castle's lowest form lies a city, originally in ruins, now being restored to its former glory. All adventurers advance to the upper levels via an elevator in a centralised pillar. The city of course drops hints that people have been in the Floating castle previously. | |

Lady Looks Like a Dude | |
| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_e90f8e37 | comment |
Lady Looks Like a Dude: Played with. Actually, while somewhat masculine in appearance, most characters figure out off the bat that Ben is actually female. Guild leader Hector, however, has yet to figure it out. Pan too has been mistaken for a small boy, on occasion. | |

Darkest Hour | |
| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_f91d1d4f | comment |
Darkest Hour: Storm and Drive become pretty much screwed during the Civil War, what with their leader turned to stone in a last ditch effort to keep her alive, their second in command going undercover while also wounded, their healer losing her mind and going AWOL and their youngest member being stabbed through the gut. Meanwhile everyone else is just as screwed over... | |

Depending on the Writer | |
| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_fdc4fab4 | comment |
Depending on the Writer: Being an RP based on collab writing, it pops up from time to time. Perhaps one of the more notable examples would be the battle with the rakes during the mission to find the way to the third floor; one of the scouts ends up having the time of his life hacking away at the rakes, which are portrayed as mindlessly charging at him one at a time with little regard to strategy and planning, whereas the other, portrayed as having equal skill, ends up being overtaken and immobilized within seconds by a complex and well-coordinated attack by several other rakes. | |

Dark and Troubled Past: Almost all of the player characters have this to some extent or another. One fan theory is that this is what drew many of them to the Castle in the first place. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Floating Castle (Roleplay) / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Pretty much any of Asha's interactions with the somewhat crazy Eliziya qualify as this. She also chooses to heal Tamar's fatal stab wound, in spite of him being the apprentice of her enemy, Hector, partly out of obligation to Eliziya, but seemingly also for other reasons yet unexplained. Adam's desire to protect the men under his care in his otherwise sarcastic letter◊ when a quest team talks him into helping out on a mission to recapture the Transport Column. Character Development is in full play with this guy. | |
