Eschaton is a modern dark fantasy/environmental/semi-apocalyptic roleplay on the forums of Gaia Online. The main thread can be found here. Also has a character sheet here.The short-short version: Earth Maiden Arjuna meets Highschool of the Dead.The long-short version: The Earth reaches its sustainability limit, and an entity known as the Eschaton Core activates, intent on purging humanity in the name of saving the planet. Its methods however, are somewhat suspect and include things like natural disasters, technological failures, and the terrifying "beings" known as Weepers. The only person capable of shutting down the Eschaton core is the Avatar of Time, an individual chosen by the planet in order to protect humanity from the Eschaton Core. Eschaton opens with a earthquake hitting a High School in Okinawa, Japan, essentially signaling the end of the world.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This is where things get tricky. For some reason, the planet decides it doesn't want long-time Avatar of Time Cecil anymore, and instead opts to strip him of his powers and give them to the much younger and inexperienced Misaki. The Problem? The new Avatar of Time - and her Ascendant Court, a group of people granted "Immortality" at the same time as her - are trapped in said High School. Which is now overrun with Weepers. The now nearly-powerless Avatar and his also-powerless Ascendant Court have to fight their way into the school, get the important students (and faculty) out, and somehow make it out alive.And once they do, it'll be up to a bunch of teenagers and two twenty-somethings to save the world.This is not ending well.

After the End: More like during the end. If the crew doesn't stop the Eschaton Core, it really will be the end.

Blessed with Suck: Any Ascendant, really. Ascendants live until they are killed.. and as such, outlive all their loved ones.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

comment
Black-and-Gray Morality: SEED considers killing Weeper-possessed humans to be the "humane" thing to do, as it saves them from a life of being trapped in their own head while the Weeper controls their body. However, the human can still see and feel what happens to their body, regardless of whether they're in control or not.

comment
Adults Are Useless: Played with. Sora and Issei, despite being adults, are barely better suited to be saving the world than the students. SEED averts this entirely however, as most SEED members over the age of sixteen are brutally capable.

Action Girl: Avatar of Time Misaki, especially. She's the tennis team captain and a generally athletic person, and doesn't even miss a beat in turning her athletic prowess into asskicking. Freddie is a good example too, it's stated she's deadly with whatever weapon you give her.

Authority Equals Asskicking
 Eschaton (Roleplay) / int_e34ada78
comment
Authority Equals Asskicking: Inverted; the old Ascendants have lost most of their powers and the new Ascendants are significantly stronger. Played straight with Assyra, the savant commander of SEED; not only does she command one of the most powerful organizations on the planet, but she's also the millenia-old original Avatar of Time.
