In the year 2298 AD, 92% of the Earth’s surface is covered by the ocean, and most of humanity survives deep underwater. Built before the Deluge, the apocalyptic event that flooded the entire planet, domed undersea cities are home to the distant descendants of hundreds of millions of refugees from all around the world. Above the sea, successor states like the New Inca Empire, the Holy Kingdom of Tibet, and the People’s Republic of Colorado fight over the scraps of land left above sea level, and the residents of nomadic fleet-cities sail the endless ocean in search of resources to plunder. But for most of the dregs of humanity, the great domes at the bottom of the sea are the only home they’ve ever known.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })If the corps and the warring gangs of Nemo don't get you first, the whispers from the deep will. But where there's money to be made, some daring few scrape for their due or die trying.LIQUID CORAL is an ongoing game and world that runs using the Blades in the Dark setting, in the cyberpunk setting of Nemo. Each season, the players take on a new group of characters in an ever-evolving world. The first season followed the Trawlers, small-time criminals that slowly became wrapped up in an eldritch plot. The second featured the Moonshiners, smugglers struggling to take over one of Nemo's docks and repel old enemies, though one of their members has a darker purpose. The third season will follow AEGIS, a secret organization focused on Nemo's supernatural elements.A Legendkeeper page with more information about the people and organizations of the Liquid Coral setting can be found here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Liquid Coral (Roleplay) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The Speaker's ending actually seems more ominous than the first season's: it feels like something big is actually changing in the foundations of the world, many main characters from the first season are in on it, and they don't seem like the good guys. | |

Title Drop: So far has happened at least once per season, during the final episodes: 1: And all of a sudden, [Luce is] no longer here. He's in another world, another life. Dreaming forever, the colours real and vivid as liquid coral. 2: The Challenger Dome glows brightly, shifting colours, blaring shades of liquid coral casting shadowplays on the sea floor. | |

Caper Crew: Season 1 has Yuri the assassin, Sauda the stealthy, Chou the tech expert, Luce the face and eventually supernatural specialist, and Carlos as the leader (until he dies and the role is taken by Luce). Season 2 has Hyde the tech expert, Bastille as the muscle, Sauda returning, Speaker the supernatural specialist, and San Manco the leader and face. | |

Fantastic Drug | |
| Liquid Coral (Roleplay) / int_2cd22076 | comment |
Fantastic Drug: Nemo has a lot of new futuristic drugs derived from ocean creatures (spin, sting, etc.) as well as equally weird surface drugs. Shows up often both because each character needs a vice (drugs apply to both Yuri and Hyde) but because Season 2 gets involved in the drug trade. Overlaps with Phlebotinum Pills due to the biopunk setting. | |

Wretched Hive | |
| Liquid Coral (Roleplay) / int_40cbee83 | comment |
Wretched Hive: The amount of underworld factions fluctuates by season, but there's always more than 20 competing criminal interests per season, including the protagonists. This doesn't even get into the 'fringe' interests (Deep cultists and other weird shit) or the just-as-unethical institutions; it almost makes one think there's More Criminals Than Targets. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Liqiang gets away, Luce has been taken over by the lamprey, Carlos is dead and everyone else is traumatized—and despite a whole building collapsing on her, March lives. But the Colorless Way facility is gone, so they did what they came to do, and there's a sweet ending moment between Yuri/Gildong and Sauda/Sofi. | |

Had to Come to Prison to Be a Crook | |
| Liquid Coral (Roleplay) / int_4de1544 | comment |
Had to Come to Prison to Be a Crook: Several characters came out of jail in Nemo or the "Debt Forgiveness Program" worse than when they went in. Liqiang was a very small-time criminal in Luce's backstory, but when he comes back he singlehandedly fights the Trawlers, nearly killing several, and in season 2 is leading his own gang, the Checkers. | |

Repressed Memories: Towards the end, the characters remember (and then promptly forget, due to Deep interference) their former teammate that was left behind in the Colorless Way facility. One of the big wham lines of the season, since even the players weren't aware of this. | |

Amnesiacs are Innocent: The end of Daz's story is more than a little fucked up: he came to the Trawlers' base to get revenge on Carlos, then had his memories eaten by the lamprey, and as he and Carlos die together, he only remembers their friendship, with the last words, "You're beautiful." | |

Limited Loadout: As a Blades in the Dark game, characters have limited inventory slots based on what kind of score it is.

Mob War | |
| Liquid Coral (Roleplay) / int_aa245ded | comment |
Mob War: The Moonshiners end up at war for the first time with Captain Ahab and his faction controlling the docks—and win! Later, they also end up in conflict with the Tea Party but by contrast quickly try to make peace again because it's nearly impossible to fight March. | |

Neuro-Vault: Referenced whenever the player characters deal with Thirdeye.net, a community that researches Deep phenomena, or while talking about explicitly criminal stuff over VR. | |

Fate Worse than Death | |
| Liquid Coral (Roleplay) / int_b1346878 | comment |
Fate Worse than Death: The Echo Project created many human/deep symbiotes in an attempt to inoculate humanity from the greater existential threats, leviathans. The test subjects themselves didn't seem like big fans. | |

Mind Virus | |
| Liquid Coral (Roleplay) / int_bf239986 | comment |
Mind Virus: The Vang noovirus, one of these, is what the protagonists blow up the Colorless Way facility trying to stop. Afflicted people would repeat the phrase, "I think it's funny that Qiandao Academy lists a Professor Vang on staff when legal records conclusively prove that no such person has ever existed or ever will." (The virus also acted as a lure for Deep things and could turn people into symbiotes, so it's worse than it sounds.) | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Liquid Coral (Roleplay) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: After the constant nightmare of the first season, the second season—which is a lot more business and a lot less involvement with Deep stuff except for Speaker—feels downright cheery by comparison. The ending with the other Moonshiners seems hopeful, with Bastille retiring to the surface, Hyde trying to better Qiandao, and San Manco retaining the supply chain they worked so hard to build. | |

Disaster Dominoes | |
| Liquid Coral (Roleplay) / int_e4ba33fc | comment |
Disaster Dominoes: In Season 2, this happens around Episode 8, when the attempted attack on Hatter leaves Bastille traumatized, Sauda thrown under the bus, and the Moonshiners with their first unmitigated failure. In Season 1, it may as well have begun in Episode 2 (meeting their first Deep creature, the anglerfish bartender) and continued ramping up until the finale. | |

Dirty Cop: In this setting, overwhelmingly the most common type of cop. Cameron from Season 1 and Bastille's former coworkers from Season 2, notably. | |

Psychic Children: Season 2 brings us Speaker, who was able to commune with the deep from a very young age, and Owl, a member of the Depth Charges with similar powers. | |

Early-Bird Cameo | |
| Liquid Coral (Roleplay) / int_f0089082 | comment |
Early-Bird Cameo: The evolving nature of the setting means that characters and locations with small parts in earlier seasons can end up with larger parts in the next. For instance, the characters barely interact with the weirdness of Qiandao in season 1, where they visit Lethe_Lungs, but it takes up a full session and a player's background and goals in season 2. | |
