Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Master of the Wind is a freeware superhero RPG created with RPG Maker XP by Volrath and ArtBane. It takes place in the land of Solest, in which many common fantasy races such as elves, orcs, goblins, and fairies all reside. Atypically, all these races seem to live together more or less peacefully, ever since the fall of the xenophobic, demi-human hating regime known as Gallia. However, not everyone is happy with things this way, and there are those who are trying to revive the ways of the Gallians anew.While at first glance, Master of the Wind may seem like typical light-hearted superhero fare, it is actually a thoughtful deconstruction of the superhero genre. The hero and eponymous character of the story is Cade Mistral, a Wide-Eyed Idealist with a Dark and Troubled Past who uses his wind magic to protect people from harm and evil, disguised as the masked vigilante and paragon of Justice, Shroud . He is joined in his crusade by Stoic, a powerful death knight who has lived for many centuries and provides a counterpoint to Shroud's idealistic views.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The duo manage to keep their hometown of Port Arianna safe from bandits and vampires for some time, but after investigating a kidnapping they find incriminating evidence against a local weapons company doing shady business. As they set out to try to bring down this evil conglomerate (which also threatens to put their blacksmith secret identities out of business) they discover a conspiracy which threatens to bring back the days of Gallia, headed by a mysterious organization known only as "The Hand".Joining the duo on their adventures across Solest are Finley Donner, aka The Baron, annoying next-door neighbor extraordinaire whose power is having guns in a pre-industrial society, and Laurel Hargrove, a telepathic cleric who is something of an Ojou. Also occasionally aiding the group on their missions is Auburn Illiaca, a fire mage and bodyguard who works for the enemy who seems to be harboring a few dark secrets of her own...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })Stalked every step of the way by agents of the Hand as well as the legendary and deadly masked assassin known only as "The Sparrow," the heroes struggle to uncover the plot and bring the villains to justice, or else not only face letting down the people they have sworn to protect but also to fail to uphold the very ideaology they have sworn themselves to.Filled with laughs, heartache, and some legitimately outstanding writing, see why it is one of the most acclaimed freeware RPGs on the net. After a agonizing wait of over two years, the seventh and final arc was finally released in November 2011. The game's separate chapters have won numerous Misaos (The RPG Maker community's version of the Oscars) over the years, including Game of the Year for both Arc IV(2007) and Arc VII(2011). Check it out at the official site.

Daydream Surprise: Finley has one of these in Arc IV, in which he beats up every single villain he's laid eyes upon up to that point (including the Sparrow), winning the respect of his comrades and Laurel's heart. Contains such great lines as "I'm a sore loser!", "I'm Stoic, and I won't give you any credit because I'm grumpy just for the sake of being grumpy!" and "I can't help myself Baron... make me a woman!"

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Master of the Wind / Videogame / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Equipment King is an unsubtle caricature of Wal-Mart, The Hand is an evil religious action group preaching against all non-humans. The writer has also said on at least one message board that The Rain of Fire, a catastrophe that brings about a flood of compassion followed by a descent into paranoia and ignorance, was inspired by what happened in America after 9/11. The Robin family are a bunch of racists who refused to accept that their nation's government granted equal rights to a previously oppressed minority (in this case, undead), and in the present day continue to terrorize both the minority and the people who support them. Remind you of the KKK?

Not-So-Harmless Villain: For much of the game, the meaner students at the Sacred River Monastery are so over the top in their religious zeal-fueled racism towards undead and just plain incompetent that its hard to take them seriously. Then they kidnap Gabriella in the endgame, plotting to sacrifice her to Arcadius and coming dangerously close to succeeding.

Brainwashed and Crazy: Four of the five descendants of the strongest magic casters (except for ice, dark, and light) were subjected to this to carry out a worldwide apocalypse similar to the Rain of Fire. It is also revealed that Leonard Barca, birth son of General Lysander, was subjected to this by Cari's mother until she reprogrammed his mind into believing himself to be Ketsu.

All There in the Manual: The events of the Gallian war, starring the Guardian heroes, is told from Volrath's first RPG Maker game Clean Slate. Despite its importance to the lore of Master of the Wind, the game was never officially released. After years of fans asking to see it, Volrath released a series of Let's Play videos of the complete game with detailed commentary.

comment
So Long, and Thanks for All the Gear: If you so much as suspect that somebody might be leaving the party after you finish a dungeon, you'd better swap all their gear with something you won't mind missing before approaching the boss. Luckily, they all come back later except at the end of the final dungeon and when Laurel ascends—often too much later to matter though.

Cursed with Awesome
 Master of the Wind / Videogame / int_309b8806
comment
Cursed with Awesome: Stoic was resurrected to serve as an undead slave. Said resurrection transformed him into a giant badass skeleton who does not need to eat or breathe, will never get sick, and who is implied to be immortal. Stoic doesn't seem to particularly mind the change, however. Also, the Boreal region is "cursed" with extreme magical cold and ice (to the degree that the inside of an active volcano is covered in ice even right next to the lava). People's opinions on how nice or annoying the cold is vary, but at the end of the arc we discover that this curse is the only thing that's stopped a group of mages from making the volcano erupt and destroy the town.

Kick the Son of a Bitch: Ariel is a full-on sadist who has killed many people, including Gino. She also kills the weakened Cari after her fight against the heroes, but for personal reasons in keeping control of Ketsu for herself. Considering Cari and her mother brainwashed not just Leonard into being Ketsu but other mages, including attempts on Cade and Rayne, to bring about the Great Awakening, it goes without saying that the pink-haired bitch deserved it.

Guest-Star Party Member: Finley and Auburn. Multiple times. Each. Eventually both become permanent party members, one much sooner than the other. Also, Bubba does this, completely out of nowhere, then does it again in the final chapter along with Gabriella. More stage-stealingly, this is what Laurel is resigned to after gaining her wings, despite having previously been a primary party member.

Elemental Powers: There are eight main schools of magic; water, ice, fire, lightning, earth, wind, holy, and dark. Learning one element changes the mage to be more like that element; fire mages can resist extreme temperatures but are weak to ice magic, etc. It's extremely difficult, but not impossible, to learn multiple schools of magic.

Only Smart People May Pass: The Tower of the Sun, which actually requires the player to have memorized information about the world's history. Another such test appears on Altar Island. Both can be forgiven since they were meant to be inflicting these tests on students to ensure they were doing their studying, as can the non-required history quiz being given by a fairy in Guardia.

Useless Useful Spell
 Master of the Wind / Videogame / int_4c709317
comment
Useless Useful Spell: There's a variety of status inducing moves available. Many of the milder ones work against a surprising number of bosses as well as the mooks (pistol whip, for instance, can weaken the spellcasting of nearly every boss in the last arc, and it's always worth trying Bull Rush and Soul Burn a few times to see if it can stick), but the major ones like silence and paralyze are predictably limited. (Though Auburn can paralyze Danika's illusions and most boss flunkies, with a mediocre chance of success). Almost all status skills also deal damage, however, which means most are at least potentially useful either for random encounters, bosses or both. Auburn's Dispel, however, stands out as a complete aversion: It never fails, and many bosses cast extremely powerful buffs on themselves. It's even worth using on a few random encounters. Sparrow's evade-boosting moves aren't nearly as useful as they could be since most of the bosses in the last arc are spellcasters. Though several turns of 100% immunity to the ones who aren't is nothing to scoff at.

Duel Boss

comment
Duel Boss: Lots, including Gabriella, Goma, Evrind the second time, and every encounter with The Sparrow. Several more reduce you to just two party members. Arc VII includes a boss rush of five consecutive Duel Boss battles for five different characters (broken up by a few mooks and easy minigames), and gives you another somewhat later with Cleon.

Enemy Mine: Shroud fights the Touten Corps twice when they try to rob Port Arianna, but they were more than willing to help him on anything related to Equipment King and the Hand. The reason being is that he was once a brief member of their group before realizing their values didn't coincide. As they put it: "Once a Touten, always a Touten."

Heel–Face Turn: A few. In the backstory, some of Gallia's high-ranking officials that still play a minor role in the game (like Tor and Evander). In the game proper, there are Gabriella, Rana, the brainwashed elemental mages, Gabriel, Don Kovak and Vec. While he was Stoic's enemy in the past, by the time you meet him in the game, Enkur has made one. Andau combines it with Redemption Equals Death.

Gameplay and Story Segregation
 Master of the Wind / Videogame / int_6320eced
comment
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Spectacularly avoided as it relates to magic and the characters' abilities in general. A large portion of the game's frequent minigames and puzzles make creative use of the various characters' powers, especially Shroud's wind magic, Stoic's Bull Rush ability and Finley's sharpshooting. They also see great use in cutscenes, especially healing magic and Shroud's ability to leap great distances (which improves as the game goes on). The Elemental Rock–Paper–Scissors is also treated as a serious plot point in-universe, especially with the Sparrow (who can cast spells Shroud is weak to but isn't weak to his wind spells in turn).

Villainous Friendship: Don Kovak and Vec are best friends, seen making light talk about the other's fighting. Also the Lieutenants of the Hand, who are shown to be quite vulnerable with each other and miss their fallen comrades. Made especially so that they'd go the extra mile to help each other, like when Cleon sacrificed himself so Voyd and Danika could escape.

Meaningful Name: Several. Mistral is a term for wind. Stoic's real name, Zeno, is a reference to the founder of Stoicism. Auburn has red hair. Voyd is a dark mage. All the people intended to be used in the "Great Awakening" ritual—Aiden Sear, Levina Galvan, Kenda Brine, Bardo Crag, and Rayne Mistral. I dare you to guess what element of magic each one uses. There's even a spoiler about the Sparrow's identity hidden in the character names—which the creators admitted they were surprised nobody called them on. Specifically, Auburn's surname, Iliaca, comes from the scientific name of the fox sparrow, Passerella iliaca. "Arcadius" comes from the Greek word "Arcadia", which means paradise or utopia. Similarly, "Perditia" comes from "perdition", another word for Hell.

Guide Dang It!
 Master of the Wind / Videogame / int_6ec98db8
comment
Guide Dangit: Most bosses have one or more flunkies. Whether the game wants you to kill the flunkies first or just the main boss varies arbitrarily and randomly, with some high-health bosses having flunkies with strong attacks and pitiful health and some bosses giving their flunkies almost as much health as the boss or easily reviving them. This is possibly relieved some in the full version where you can pay to see the health of your enemies. The worst case is Dican and Danika, a monk and a mage from the same religious cult. The first creates two copies of himself with low health and the same attacks as himself, and if you don't kill them first will eventually mock you for it and cast a powerful buff on all three that can easily finish you off. The latter summons copies of two previous bosses, one of whom is Dican, but if you kill one of those she will laugh at you and restore them to life at full health instantly, without even wasting a turn. The game has lots of minigames and puzzles, most of which are mandatory to continue. These range all the way from Quicktime Event challenges to simple switch puzzles to elaborate mazes to quizzes on the game's lore to scavenger hunts. Some are very difficult.

comment
God Is Evil: Arcadius may or may not be, depending on whether or not the Hand really represents his wishes. Laurel has a crisis of faith over an event which appears to suggest that they do. Later, she receives the same blessing as Dasani and Ketsu, and Solik implies it to be the light-equivalent to a necromancer's transformation to a lich.

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Ariel is known for killing Lysander's wife during the Gallian war. Even when she's later brought back to life by Solik and the Hand, she secretly plots Ketsu's death with the Touten Corps' help. She also kills Cari in cold blood so she can manipulate Ketsu for to her own ends.

 Master of the Wind / Videogame / int_83b89a9c
comment
Elemental Rock–Paper–Scissors: Not really rock paper scissors since the weaknesses are symmetric. Often treated as a plot point, especially when the Sparrow appears to be immune to this rule. At least it's so in theory. In reality, near the end of the game when you have the widest variety of damage types most spellcasters start casting shields which give them great resistance to their weakness element and moderate resistance to everything else, translating to attacking their "weakness" coming out slightly behind. You can rack up some big damage before they get the shield off though.

Mega Manning: The Sparrow can do this, and uses it to exploit his foes' weaknesses. Which powers he's copied by the last time you fight actually could provide a subtle clue to the Sparrow's identity. Sparrow isn't the only one, but is definitely part of the minority of "Copy Mages" along with Torin and Brumalia.

Back from the Dead: Solik as a lich, Gabriella as a vampire. Ariel, despite having died long ago, is a straighter example, as she's the second person to be successfully revived through necromancy and not as a skeleton. In the end, she dies again and is turned into a vampire.

Derailing Love Interests
 Master of the Wind / Videogame / int_8dc8a02d
comment
Derailing Love Interests: Emma was introduced early in Arc 1 as a seemingly close friend to Cade since he moved in. He never took interest in her, but decided to pursue it because he found her coming into his store to talk to him flattering. Cade gets annoyed by being called cute by her, and in a heated argument with her roommate about Equipment King, Emma tells him to leave. To his credit, Cade tries to apologize for this, but a combination of bad timing, run-ins with Auburn and Finley tattling shot it all down by the end of the second arc. Around the start of third, she's seen dating Vec, and Cade is left to pursue Auburn. Also happens in a way with Bones and Rana. Andau calls him out on being protective of a human when he's a skeleton, but after his defeat, they start hanging out more often. Rana is about to leave Port Arianna indefinitely and asks Bones to come with her. Bones politely refuses, but she pushes the issue... and reveals she's a necromancer. Hurt and betrayed, Bones and his friends are understandably wary of her after this.

Video Game Setpiece: The battles with the Hand lieutenants thus far all have one. Dican is pretty tame, being an early boss—his illusions are pretty much copies of him with lower health, though he does pull out a scripted move that'll flatten you if you try to take him out before them. Danika has illusionary fighters that she summons, and to defeat her you need to have Laurel see through the illusion. Voyd can use a special skill called "Teleport" that can remove a party member from the battle for a few turns, or summon two flunkies. Cleon can completely nullify the first attack against him every round. There's also Cari, who does not fight you directly — instead, they throw a bunch of Elite Mooks at you and make your characters forget all their skills. And for that matter, Ariel. The five phase battle with Ariel. The fight starts with the effects of the previous boss's skill-blocking slowly wearing off while the boss holds back somewhat, then continues with the boss fighting more seriously, then when you finish that the boss summons two really nasty helpers and fully heals, and when you get the boss mostly dead again she sacrifices those helpers to fully heal and keep fighting, and when you finish it off again she summons another boss with the same health.

No-Sell: Cleon has a special ability to completely negate any attack against him though not twice in a row, making him a serious threat. But the trope is turned on him when Valkyrie's spells can completely ignore this ability and you can easily win the first boss fight with him by spamming your cheapest attack until he dies..

Tragic Villain
 Master of the Wind / Videogame / int_b5171e10
comment
Tragic Villain: Leonard, the adopted son of Arius and Nova. Realizing that his real father is General Lysander, he left on a journey to discover more of his origins. When he met Cari and her mother, he was slowly but gradually mind-raped into staying, and then believing himself to be her overzealous son Ketsu. He was willing to bring back the old Gallian regime, which was what Cari and their "mother" wanted. When his real family sees him again, Ketsu's genuinely upset and enraged to be called "Leonard". Interestingly enough, when Cari reveals this backstory, she plays it off as sympathy for her and her mother, who was losing her mind powers. They came back miraculously when Leonard was about to leave, which she used to turn him into Ketsu. They suffered when Gallia lost the war, and "recovered" when Ketsu joined the family. The heroes aren't moved, as they quickly point out that her suffering is more important than anyone else's in her mind.

Dem Bones: Explored and subverted in several ways. Necromancers have the ability to resurrect humans as unthinking servants, but they can also restore the person's consciousness and memories. Opinions on which approach is more useful vary from necromancer to necromancer. Skeletons who can think for themselves and do not serve a necromancer can be found wandering around many of the game's towns, and their treatment by the living (especially overzealous holy mages) is something of a civil rights issue in Solest.

Shout-Out: Several, and a lot are obscure references indeed. A handful of NPCs have nothing to say except lyrics from various power metal songs. Let's see, a superhero named Stoic with a troubled past who calls his Domino Mask-wearing partner "chum". And Finley calls him "B-Man". The fictional band "Daydream", when they get on stage, perform Masterplan's "Heroes", followed by "Spirit Never Dies", from the same band. The equipable boots called Sonic Sneakers: First you say no! Then you get out of there! The Ninetails hat: The strongest tailed hat of them all. Believe it! In the last dungeon, there's an Easter Egg where Auburn can play the intro to"Mr. Crowley" on an organ.

Legacy Character: Cole Marin reveals that the real Sparrow died years ago and the one Shroud's been fighting up till now is either an old man, a product of necromancy, or another person all together. It is the latter as the real Sparrow was Auburn's adopted father, who wore the costume initially as a fear tactic while living in Coromant. Through a series of events and scavenger hunts in her old home, she is given the choice to take on the mantle for something greater or abandon it entirely. After a wardrobe change, she simply decides to be called Auburn.

What the Hell, Hero?: Mina, a hero of the Gallian war and a relative to the Mistral family allows Cade to infiltrate the Hand's base on the presumption he could win. Given that she had prior bad judgment in Ketsu's agenda, Bones/Stoic feels appropriate to call her irresponsible for this. Stoic also calls out on Cade for leaving them on his own in a gambit that will either succeed in stopping the Hand or die trying.

Historical Villain Upgrade
 Master of the Wind / Videogame / int_e16217f8
comment
Historical Villain Upgrade: Downplayed In-universe example. While General Lysander was the Big Bad of Clean Slate, Cade's comments during a lesson about him suggest that the people mostly remember his violent actions and regard him as nothing more than a bloodthirsty general. Clean Slate's Let's Play reveals that, while he was a devoted follower of Gallia's genocidal teachings against non-humans and slaughtered many innocents, he was a more complex person. Lysander was also a loving husband and father, and a deeply loyal soldier ready to die to protect the citizens of his country. He willingly chose to fight (and maybe die) during the last battle, while knowing that he would have lived if he ran away, because he wanted to protect his people. In the end, confronted by Arius, he admitted that he may have been wrong about Aracadius' teachings and seemed to regret his bad treatment of his sister.

Gold Fish Poop Gang: The Touten Corps. Although they are dangerous adversaries, they are soundly defeated every time they appear. Stoic sees the Robin family as this. Since he's lived a long time, he's seen his share of bigoted exorcists, starting from Gabriella's ancestor. He even muses on what attempts they tried on him before, casually treating a run in with her as tradition. Also most of the antagonists from the Sacred River Monastery, particularly Gabriella pre-vampirisim and Forcas.
