Shadowside is a Play-by-Post Game set in an Extranormal Institute — the "Dual Campus" of the Avalon Institute of Magic and Technology, and the Azura Evotelluric Academy (more on those later), thought the actual duality of the schools is debatable. It was owned by the user "Shadowdragon24" (A.K.A. Bob), but since his retirement has been maintained by a small group of core staff that changes as need-be, depending upon how life treats them at given times.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It is set in a world in which an event called "Evo's Dawn" which resulted in several thousand children and teenagers (as well as a few animals...) becoming what can best be described as X-Men style mutants ("Evotellurics") in year 2007 (it is set in present time). Also, it is a world in which several different sorts of magic and and advanced technology have (through an extremely complex web of various types of Applied Phlebotinum) remained, for the most part, fairly unknown to the world at large. This serves as the primary excuse for allowing a vast range of unique characters that run the gamut from Beast Men and mythological beings to Androids, Cyborgs and Magi. (This is in fact a very conservative look at the range of characters.)All characters and their abilities are governed by a unique system that allows for the advancement of their powers based on their activity in Story Lines, or 'SL's, rather than combat, allowing for non-combat based characters to develop on equal terms with more combative character archetypes. There is a careful balance between the focus on "Gameplay" and Story — although the focus placed on each varies from member to member. This seems to have been successful, as the site - as of 2014 - has not necessitated many large changes to this systems - although many refinements have been made, especially the revamps between 2012 to 2014.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })One interesting part of Shadowside is that it subverts the super hero genre in general, as even those who have the powers for such a job rarely decide to don a cape and tights, or another form thereof (as at least a good number of them are complete Mundane Utility, and a few that are just plain detrimental to the owner). Other times, the clothes used may be outrageous, but functional rather than decorative - and not always by just the Bad Ass Normal. The few who regularly do are regularly humiliated. The biggest exception is in at least two storylines, in which a few characters acted as Western Superheroes and Sentai, respectively. The vast majority of the characters use their powers for their own personal ends, whether that is to survive, to save lives, commit crimes, or just to mess around, as is often the case.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Morality is something of a grey area on Shadowside;Click here for the Character Page.

Universal Translator: The school is EXTREMELY polylingual (including several fictional languages) and thus gives each student a "P.L.E.A.S.E.D." (Poly Linguistic Enlightenment And Service Extension Device) unit (which can be upgraded or replaced with several more advanced options) that is worn in a student's ear. Would be just a Hand Wave for the languages, but its capabilities and the device itself are mentioned, changed, and lost often enough that it is elevated beyond that status.

Class and Level System
 Shadowside (Roleplay) / int_3698e0f
comment
Class and Level System: Only by a stretch of the term, however. Characters each have a unique "Primary Magic Principle" or "Designation" in which they develop. Levelling up is not done concretely, but by spending 'credits' on new items, abilities, and training. Levelling up to the next "Year" of school allows one to get discounts on abilities that fall within their designation.

Long Runner: The site's been running since 2007, making it longer lasting than most forums of the same type. Certain veterans of the site tend to play out long Story Lines over months rather the weeks most members devote to them. Special mention goes to Mirror Paw and Falque, both of whom are culprits for some of the lengthier stories.

Fantastic Racism: A lot of people really hate Evotellurics, and, by extension, mages. For that matter, a few mages hate Evotellurics, and Vise-Versa. It gets really complicated when you consider the dozens upon dozens of fanciful and science-fiction races included in the school. Special mention goes to the school's animal-human hybrids. They get some level of hate from all factions.

comment
Magic A Is Magic A: Though there are in fact thousands and thousands of possible ways to handle even similar abilities, it seems to be held by the members that Evo powers are not usually considered magic, even if they are functionally the same. It also applies to a single character, whose branch of magic usually doesn't spread too far outside of a primary set of ability types (for example, a pyromancer or fire mage might also have psychic powers, but their primary abilities will generally overshadow the others).

 Shadowside (Roleplay) / int_7eb73553
comment
Bullying a Dragon: Anybody who openly speaks against Evotellurics or similarly super-powered humans, without some serious defenses on their side, is pretty much asking to be killed off (or sometimes worse) in any number of ways. If they are remarkably lucky, the person or people they are speaking against will have some reason (morality, law-abiding, or just plain not caring) not to blow their brains out/roast them alive/trap them in another dimension/etcetera.

comment
World of Technicolor Hair: Many character profiles include an image from a pre-existing anime or manga, ether because their appearance was inspired by the character, or because it just happened to fit well enough. Obviously, this results in a lot of odd hair colors. This is either waved away as an inaccuracy in the image or handwaved away as being related to their status as an Evotelluric or magic user.

Special mention goes to the school's animal-human hybrids. They get some level of hate from all factions.

Alternate History: The site is set in current time, however because of the diverse character backgrounds and the Evo's Dawn history and the world as a whole aren't exactly the same to ours.

comment
Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Occasionally, the Fantasy Kitchen Sink state of the site creates minor issues that may be somewhat difficult to reconcile (such as different approaches towards Pure Energy or Life Energy), but these are not likely to be noticed unless one actively hunts for them. Often necessary to allow the totality of Character Customization present here, as some powers, backgrounds/origins, and the like would otherwise contradict or contrast with others.

Doppelgänger: In the Violent Ultimatum storyline, this was used by a shapeshifter to turn into the leader of the LoL Brigade, Akane. Akane just happens to be the boss of Tails, her current opponent. While this wouldn't likely effect him, it is made immediately clear that the real Akane, who is standing at the side lines, takes the pain. It is a rather effective challenge, obviously.

Shout-Out: Several stories are titled after songs, and a few plotlines involve things like Sentai Teams or Superheroes, which are as strange to see in this world as they would be in the real world. (Not that most people are really surprised by strange occurrences, mind.) More imediately, one of the major "school clubs" (essentially warring factions with various goals) is called the "LoL Brigade". It is dedicated to making sure the boss makes money, and to causing havoc for the fun of it. And, for the record, it is no laughing matter for the other students. It is, for lack of a better term, a school-based Mafia.

Creator Provincialism: Averted. The majority of the members on the site seem to be (as inferred from chat) from the U.S., the U.K., Canada, or Australia, and the site is primarily English-speaking. However, there is a very clear anime-influence. Much of the artwork involved, especially character images, is obviously in the Anime/Manga art style. Many characters are Japanese. To drive home this point, the setting is Fukuoka, Japan. (Averting both Big Applesauce and Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe, though it's closer to the latter.) However, many SL's are taken to places that the ones running them are familiar with.
