History DarthWiki / GsIST

* WeaponofChoice: Is quite handy with staves.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: SHIELD, [[CaptainAmerica Captain America]], the [[AllBikersAreHellsAngels Alpha Dogs]]... There are dozens of active super hero groups and teams all working together on Patchwork. Most recently demonstrated when Gorilla Grodd's forces attacked. Some groups were dispatched to contain the situation to the beach where Grodd's forces appeared, [[Franchise/TheFlash Flash]] went to handle Grodd himself, and the main characters were sent to keep him from kidnapping civilians.

* PersonalityPowers: The characters seem to have evolved powers based on what they needed most in their lives. Cinetica, for instance, was physically abused and has the power to absorb kinetic energy to strengthen and heal herself. ShadowKiss was unaware of her boyfriend's [[RapeIsASpecialKindofEvil true nature]] and developed the ability to see through shadows.

* InvoluntaryShapeshifting: As a way to channel excess energy absorbed, Cinetica can manifest random extra appendages including large bat-like wings and horns.

* RedPillBluePill: They were offered the chance to go back to being blissfully unaware of their imprisonment by Magniac, but [ForegoneConclusion naturally]] declined the offer.

* TheOmniglot: Military brat with a love for languages. Studied linguistics in college and boosted to superhuman levels due to his powers.

* Nanomachines: A scientific accident in the 1950's released mostly harmless nanites into the world. While most of the population was unaffected, some developed super powers. Everyone/thing born is infected by nanites, but only a few manifest powers, usually during adolescence, but periods of high stress can also cause powers to develop.

* Big Bad: Magniac, who transforms and uploads entire realities into his hard drive to categorize and store. Bonus points for his systems feeding off of the bio-energy of humans as well.

* LaResistance: What our heros become on Patchwork.

* WingedHumanoid: Apparently, when enough energy is absorbed, Cinetica can manifest large bat-like wings (and horns too.)

Using the Marvel Super Heroes Roleplaying game mechanics from TSR, G's IST is a play-by-post game centering around a group of new recruits from a parallel Earth that join an internationally sanctioned agency for metahumans. Due to the [[RealLifeWritesthePlot death of the original GM,]] the characters were pulled into a patchwork world from the Marvel and DC comic universes under assault by the mechanized collector of realities Magniac.

* SuperSenses: Has the proportionate senses of a fox.

* PatchworkWorld: Invoked in story. The characters find themselves in a universe composed of the remnants of other worlds that survived the multiversal destruction of Magniac.

* OpenMouth,InsertFoot: His mouth moves faster than his brain does causing him to say things he immediately regrets.

* The Speechless: Has no vocal chords in his energy form, so has to rely on crude signals or just hope the team figures out what it is he's trying to do.

* Shapeshifting: From a fox into a human or werefox. Or maybe from a human into a fox. [[MysteriousPast It's unclear]].

* CanonForeigner: The PCs, having come from a world where the DC and Marvel universes were just comics and movies.
* InMemoriam: Continued in honor of the GM and creator of the game, Gene.

* BilingualBonus: Often speaks in both English and Spanish. Her code name is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOntheTin kinetic]] in Spanish.
* EnergyAbsorption: Her main power allows her to absorb kinetic energy to strengthen herself.

* Nigh-Invulnerable: Going head-to-head with her is not very smart, when every punch or kick only makes her stronger.

* Mr.Fanservice: Before receiving their symbiotes, Sebs would always end up naked after transforming into his energy form.

* BreaktheCutie: In her backstory. She found out her boyfriend was the campus's serial rapist, was almost his victim, then manifested her Evo powers almost killing him and freaking out the rest of the campus.

* AttentionDeficit...OohShiny!: Because his brain is always working so fast, he's been shown to get distracted easily with new ideas and theories.

* BenevolentA.I.: [[SassyBlackWoman Esmeralda]], his virtual "assistant."

* Ms.Fanservice: A B-movie actress, this is her shctick.

* InMemorium: Continued in honor of the GM and creator of the game, Gene.

* Light'EmUp: His main form of energy is light-based which allows him to play this trope straight.

* AttentionDeficit...Ooh,Shiny!: Because his brain is always working so fast, he's been shown to get distracted easily with new ideas and theories.

* MrFixit: His background in engineering and computers, mixed with his powers makes him this.

* TheLoad: Tries his best to subvert this trope. Being one of the only members of the team without any inherently offensive abilities, Leonard can certainly fall victim if he's caught without his equipment and no time to build something new.

* Angst: The circumstances surrounding her powers, and the way her powers work, have left Lorie in an emotionally conflicted place.

* TraumaCongaLine: In her backstory. She found out her boyfriend was the campus's serial rapist, was almost his victim, then manifested her Evo powers almost killing him and freaking out the rest of the campus.
