comment
Reaching Salvation is a Role Playing experience that has since been separated into two distinct halves: The Acer Tournament story line and the Post Acer War story line. The original RP was originally created by LastPrelude and is hosted on This is Not A Forum over on Fan Fiction Dot Net, whilst the Post Acer story takes place five years later, with the contestants that competed in the Acer Tournament in the original RP having moved on and set up their own little village.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Katanas Are Just Better
 Reaching Salvation (Roleplay) / int_12a22bd8
comment
A few characters, including Nathan, Luke and Zackary, all carry swords with them. I'm pretty sure someone even carries a katana. Why? Simple.

Defeat Means Friendship: Nathan and Eithne subvert this during their first few clashes, though no one really wins any of those. Eithne eventually wins one and the closests they ever get to friends is Aloof Ally / Enemy Mine.

Honor Before Reason: Eithne is very guilty of this, usually doubles up as a Leeroy Jenkins. Averted in the Leeroy Jenkins department, at least ever since he Took a Level in Badass; that doesn't stop him from considering his code of honor before all else at times, though.

Characterization Marches On
 Reaching Salvation (Roleplay) / int_479f9ad0
comment
Characterization Marches On: Eithne's creator admits to him being hit by this - he went from rather comedic, lighthearted Heroic Comedic Sociopath to cold, badass Jerkass with a Heart of Gold. This sudden shift in characterization has more to do with his original characterization not really fitting in with the overall tone of the roleplay than anything else, however.

Wouldn't Hurt a Child
 Reaching Salvation (Roleplay) / int_a2b998a0
comment
Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Played straight by the likes of Eithne, Luke and many more including Heidi - if her attachment to Simon is anything to go by. Subverted by Ven (an NPC), though a vast majority of the main characters could also subvert this if it meant protecting themselves and their teammates, because technically, they all are still kids. Big Five anyone? They play with the trope in a most bizarre fashion. Whilst none of them have directly hurt any of the contests thus far, from what we've seen, they're hardly protecting them by making them compete in life threatening challenges for a shot at Utopia.

Cool Sword: A few characters, including Nathan, Luke and Zackary, all carry swords with them. I'm pretty sure someone even carries a katana. Why? Simple. Eithne gets himself a BFS that's an expy of the new Zangetsu design from the latest arc shortly before defection.

Alas, Poor Villain: Shima's situation could en up being this, given the fact that he wants to change the world for the better yet he was betrayed by those he trusted most, seemingly when their apposing views finally brought them to odds. As a result Shima is now out for Revenge against those who turned on him, painting him as Well-Intentioned Extremist as he does seem to want to change the world for the better. Sadly it's not his first priority anymore.

Improbable Aiming Skills: Paul averts this, seeing as he already has plenty of experience with guns prior to the start of the RP whilst Eithne invoked this trope in his fight with Nathan, though it also counts as a subversion given he's been shown throwing and aiming things, mainly apples at various points prior and it's taught him to have reasonable aim, yet he'd never really fired a gun prior to using it in the fight.

Anti-Villain: Shima has painted himself as this despite being the biggest contender for the position of Big Bad. He's outwardly stated he's out for Revenge for what the others did to him some point prior to the start of the RP, but you can't help but feel sorry for the guy when you take into account that he does want to change the world for the better - possibly could end up going as far as being the Designated Evil and becoming an Anti-Hero.

Hand Wave: Played straight during the chimera challenge when one of the contestants asked The Big Five where the chimeras had come from and they got waved off as an answer then they lampshaded the whole thing as they walked off to resume the challenge. Even if accidental, it was humorous. Genre Blindness made him forget one important rule when doing this however: Beware the Nice Ones. Kira delivered a Shut Up, Hannibal! which doubles and/or sets up what appears to be Kira taking a level in Bad Ass. Eithne also gave Nathan one during their fight by way of pushing his greatest Berserk Button.

Authority Equals Asskicking: The Big Five could easily do a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown on any of the contestants back when they were running things, hence why none bar Shima could challenge them. Subverted when applied to Post Acer contestants village and how it's run, as there isn't really anyone in charge so to speak, but those that act as the leader figures aren't the strongest, but probably the best suited for the position.
