An imageboard-based RPG styled as a text adventure, created and DM'ed by Lagotrope on Questden. Currently ongoing.A formless, quasi-sapient blob wakes up with nine others of its kind, on a platform floating in a void. The blob enters a portal, leading it into a Deadly Game where it must compete with hundreds of other contestants while under Tactical RPG-like game rules. The blob gives itself the form of a naga and adopts the name "Alison". She soon becomes interested in the game's workings, picking it apart in the hopes of saving as many contestants as possible. Friendships are made, battles are fought, and the contest is soon revealed to be far more complex than any of the contestants could possibly have anticipated.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Read it here — although, this being Questden, beware of NSFW things. The quest itself is tame, but fanart is less so.Unnatural Selection is, according to Word of God, set in the same Verse as AsteroidQuest, one of the author's longest-running and most famous quests. Its connection to AsteroidQuest has been confirmed early in Polo Quest thread 6. At the end of UnSe Thread 17, it fully connects with the AsteroidQuest Intermission.Has no character page, but an extensive (and spoilerrific) character list was compiled. Again, it's rather full of spoilers.See also its parent quest AsteroidQuest, and Fen Quest, a fantasy quest by the same author.

And Now for Someone Completely Different: In thread 10 — after Alison's death, Chief takes over as the viewpoint character. There is a pronounced difference in their narration styles, emphasizing the nature of their Foil relationship.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

All-Loving Hero: Alison. She wants to save everyone, no matter what, and quickly gains a reputation for being incredibly idealistic, trusting, and compassionate. Similarly, the Savior is very friendly and also seeks to save those who do not wish to participate in the contest. Subverted in that he's actually an embedded part of the system and is only operating on his programming, with a heavy dose of Blue-and-Orange Morality. He's also very capable of being spiteful.

And I Must Scream: Due to a system glitch, Glitcher spends the better part of ten thousand years in a blank void, with only the voices of the dead for company. It's unclear if he even had the option of suicide.
