Love and War is a freeware RPG, created by Admiral Styles, using RPG Maker 2000.Love and War is set in the world of Terra, an Alternate Universe Earth which has been ravaged by war for centuries. The people of Terra have assembled into five nations, which are more or less constantly in conflict, until the Crown Prince of the Zion Empire, Lord Geraud Valtemond, convinces the countries to unite in the cause of peace. His ideals lead to the formation of the Commonwealth, a multinational body which - after some false starts - manages to keep the peace for over three hundred years.Now, there are signs that things are starting to unravel. But all this seems rather far away for Ryan Eramond, a young man of eighteen who has just graduated from high school, and has the rest of his life in front of him...After a mysterious opening, the story begins light-heartedly enough, with situations based on the joys and trials of adolescence. However, as the game progresses, we slowly begin to learn about political unrest in Terra, and by the end, our hero and his friends have all been touched by it.Currently, Act I ("The Ties That Bind") of the story is complete, and its Updated Re-release can be downloaded here. The author's site, including side projects based on the Love And War universe, can be found here.Not to be confused with the TV series of the same name.

Forceful Kiss
 Love & War (Video Game) / int_1036c075
comment
Forceful Kiss: Lady Penelope gives one to Prince Derren in Act II of the play. What makes this amusing is that these characters are being played by Princess Carranya and Ryan, and Ryan has no clue whether this was really in the script or not. Carranya seems to have enjoyed it, though, if we go by a later conversation they have.

Fangirl: Ryan has more than one, to his discomfiture. First there's Cathy, who dubs him "Mr. Cool" after hearing of his adventures with the Baron Snakes, and spreads the word around. Then there's Jessibelle, who re-dubs him "SIR Cool" when she hears the story. Finally, there's Lavie, who has looked up to him from childhood, and truly wishes that they could be a couple, but can laugh at herself as well.

I Surrender, Suckers: According to Henrik, this was what Kodenai was trying to do after his defeat in battle. To elaborate: after being apprehended and defeated by Ryan, Henrik and Juno, he says "I surrender", but then appears to be reaching for knives at his back to attack Ryan. Or is he? We'll never know, because Juno kills him for unclear reasons before he can actually do anything.

Sliding Scale of Libertarianism and Authoritarianism
 Love & War (Video Game) / int_20bcfa13
comment
Sliding Scale of Libertarianism and Authoritarianism: The nations of Terra provide good examples. At the libertarian end, we have the Republic of Fulton, which has no federal government, and in which businesses are minimally regulated. At the authoritarian end, we have an Empire (the Zion Empire), a parliamentary monarchy currently ruled by a "big-government liberal" party (Galvenia), and a People's Republic of Tyranny (the Varald Directorate). The remaining nation, Itaria, is a theocracy governed by the Pontiff, similar to the real-world Vatican but larger. The Three Compadres also illustrate facets of this in their political views: Armin is a libertarian who believes in "less government" and private enterprise, Henrik believes that "big government" is a good thing (and is a fan of Galvenia's Prime Minister, Martell Socius), and Ryan is a centrist.

Bilingual Bonus: In-universe examples: though the commonest language on Terra is "Common" (English), there are characters who speak other languages. For example, Hamid, a trader from the Republic whom Ryan meets in Davenport, speaks Arabic (and teaches Ryan a bit of his language). The Varald Directorate apparently also uses a language akin to German, if we go by the name of their secret police.

When the innkeeper - an eccentric actor who always wears a wolf mask - asks for their name, Penelope nearly blurts out "Lionheart", and then extricates herself as follows:

Noob Cave: Baron Snake Cave is debatably the first real dungeon of the game. Subverted by Davenport Woods as being the first area with monsters, but not really qualifying as a real dungeon.

Shipper on Deck
 Love & War (Video Game) / int_31da1e24
comment
Shipper on Deck: Lavie's friend Cathy ships Ryan x Lavie, much to his annoyance. Later on, it seems like Theodore Eramond is also doing a bit of match-making for his son: he appoints Lavie as Ryan's deputy on their errands, and buys them tickets on a ship (as part of another errand) - on which they will have to share a room. Finally, if Ryan talks to Lavie's parents before the ending (when they're going on the cruise together), both of them (and Carmen, the Regales' housekeeper) all drop not-so-subtle hints that they'd be happy if Ryan and Lavie got together.

All Psychology Is Freudian

comment
Early on in Lavie and Ryan's quest, Sigmund Freud gets a shout-out when Ryan jokingly describes a character as "acting on repressed Oedipal urges." Lavie finds this rather amusing, and awards "Professor Eramond" a "fistful of air" as a reward for his brilliant deduction.

Chekhov's Gift: In Act I, Ryan is given a gem that has accidentally come off a necklace he was supposed to deliver; he thinks it's nice, but little else is said about it. However, in Act II, Ryan has the choice of giving the gem to Princess Carranya, who owns the necklace, and making sure that, even away from home, she has a memorable nineteenth birthday.

Breaking Speech: There's a classic moment right at the end of the story, where Captain Blackheart grabs hold of Carranya, tells Ryan to drop his gun if he wants to save her, and taunts him saying that "he's not really a killer". Ryan's response? A huge Tommy gun blast to Blackheart's head, followed by his comforting a terrified Carranya as the episode ends.

The Four Loves: As befits the title, we get examples of all four throughout the game: Storge: Several, particularly: Ryan and his parents, Lavie and her grandmother, Armin's mother and her sons Phileo: The Three Compadres. Eros: Ryan and Marianne, at least before they broke up. Lavie's feelings for Ryan also count. Agape: There are several striking retrospective examples, which we learn about in Act I through cutscenes and books: Kaleb, the Journeyman who sacrifices his life to destroy a demon plaguing a town; Lord Geraud Valtemond, who tirelessly fought for peace and helped found the Commonwealth; and from a Galvenian point of view, King Richard Lionheart, his son Prince Derren, and Lady Penelope, all instrumental in gaining their country's independence. Some of Ryan and Henrik's actions - such as helping Ellesimar find his dog, or agreeing to help the Galvenian Government - can also be included.

Mean Character, Nice Actor
 Love & War (Video Game) / int_687c8839
comment
Mean Character, Nice Actor: The actor playing Prince Johan, the villain of the play, is a timid man who worries whether he'll start acting evil in real life. Rinoa, though she plays a villain and traitor who forms an alliance with Johan, is just a regular teenage girl who's rather amused by the whole experience. And Ryan, though he's the hero, is quite clueless (at times hurtfully so) towards Lady Penelope, though in real life, he is kindness itself to Carranya.

Heroic Bastard, The Wise Prince and The Good King: Lord Geraud Valtemond. He's the illegitimate son of the Zion Empress and the Director of the Varald Directorate. Initially, he is viewed as a symbol of the failure of these two countries to unite. However, when he grows up and becomes Crown Prince, he begins calling the leaders of all five nations to unite, and as Emperor, he continues to work until this unity has been achieved in the Commonwealth. Ryan considers him a personal hero.

Expanded Universe: There are a number of side-projects set in the same universe, namely: Scattered Pictures, a webcomic made by the creator, Admiral Styles, along with artist 15385bic, which portrays a brief encounter between Ryan and Lavie on Davenport beach. Check it out here. C'est Lavie!, a fifteen-minute short film (made in RPG Maker with voice acting) featuring an encounter between Lavie and Ryan in Davenport Park, that doesn't quite go the way she planned. Truly hilarious, though at the end we learn - to Lavie's relief - that she dreamed the entire thing after eating too many pastries! It can be downloaded here. Love and 24, a trailer based on the popular television series, but with Love and War characters in the lead roles - Ryan is Jack Bauer, for a start. Available at this link.

The Veronica is Marianne, who is from a lower social class (she's shown working as a barmaid, and has a much smaller house than either Ryan or Lavie), but is mysterious, dresses more suggestively, and is shown taking the initiative in their relationship. The Betty is Lavie, who (though wealthy) is more of a Girl Next Door and a Childhood Friend, and whom Ryan often finds annoying with her lower-key persistence.

Good Parents: Ryan's parents, Theodore and Sheila Eramond. Lavie's mother, Emily Regale. And then there's Armin's mother, Melody Tamas, who raises two children as a single parent, and - we later learn - actually eats less to make sure her two boys have enough, as she has financial troubles.

Mood Whiplash: Day 3's gameplay alternates between comedic sequences, especially in the play, and tender moments in which Carranya and Ryan get to know each other. Then Blackheart's Cutthroats attack the ship, and all hell breaks loose.

I Have to Wash My Hair: Lavie uses this excuse, word for word, when repelling the ham-fisted and unwanted advances of Sheri's boyfriend Greg. When Greg tries to get trope-savvy by suggesting that they meet up the next day, Lavie comes up with: "My hair needs a lot of attention!" This is actually justified, in that Lavie canonically has quite a lot of hair.

Scripted Battle: Ryan and Juno's duel plays out this way: though it's interactive, it's laced with enigmatic bits of dialogue from Juno, and particular events (such as being poisoned) occur as per the script. Later, the boss fights with the Gorn Jabola, Crowled Eagle and Kodenai all have scripted elements, though they're not fully scripted.

We have perfectly ordinary names like Ryan, Theodore, Henrik, Sheila and Emily; rare but existing ones, like Lavender and Armin; slight hacks of existing names, such as Arlbert and Carranya; and more "RPG-ish" ones, such as Londes Kodenai, Samath, Nealus and Horamin. Notably, except for Kodenai, the latter names all belong to long-dead characters.

Shout-Out
 Love & War (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: As in Act I, there are quite a few of these.. Rinoa may be named after a main character in Final Fantasy VIII. She lampshades this by saying that only her parents call her that, when they're mad at her, and she prefers to go by "Rin". Lanat, the actor, is a tribute to Talan, the protagonist of the RPG Maker classic A Blurred Line: they share the same sprite, and Lanat is an anagram of Talan. This explains why Ryan does a double-take on hearing his name. The Michael Jackson allusions become more obvious, as we get to hear two of his songs in the discotheque. Though this isn't done too obviously, Ryan and Carranya's relationship brings Titanic (1997) to mind. More overtly, an elderly female passenger on the lower decks worries about the Paradiso colliding with an iceberg after the first day. The Show Within a Show starring Ryan, Carranya and Rinoa is a nod to The Way, in which the protagonist and two of his allies also perform in a grand stage production. Two minor characters, the obnoxious Duke Browne and Duchess Faye, are references to characters from another classic RPG Maker game, Three the Hard Way. Ryan and Carranya's initial encounter - involving a literal Crash-Into Hello, a concealed royal identity and a lost necklace - is an affectionate tribute to the classic Super Nintendo RPG, Chrono Trigger. A sleeping boy in one of the cabins seems to be dreaming about Xeno Gears. A woman Ryan meets on the ship encourages him to try a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster, in a neat tribute to Douglas Adams. Caris Burnfist, a character from Romancing Walker, appears as one of the guards on the ship. In the fancy restaurant on the ship's top deck, Ryan and Carranya admire a painting called "Imdahl's Sunrise".

Lighter and Softer: After quests that involve fighting off giant reptiles, a Noble Bird of Prey and a mysterious beast, and putting a corrupt mayor in jail, the game takes a lighter turn when you play as Lavender Regale. This is essentially a Character Development sequence for Lavie subtly cloaked in challenging but non-violent tasks, such as a quiz show and a treasure hunt.

Though we only meet her for a short period of time, she's easily one of the most memorable characters in the supporting cast.

You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious: In the play, Prince Derren always addresses Lady Penelope as such... except near the end of Act II, where he calls her Penelope after accidentally offending her (see Oblivious to Love, above, for the exchange that leads to this). This moves her to the point where she is able to confess her feelings for him.

Doting Parent: Ryan's mother Sheila fits this trope nicely. While she doesn't go overboard with it, she genuinely admires her son, does not try to tell him what he should or should not do, and is happy whenever she sees him, without asking embarrassing questions about where he's been.
