History Roleplay / AvatarAdventures

* PsychicPowers: Boss has telekinisis and teleportation, as well as a vaguely-defined second-sight that he used in the fight with Alucard near the end of the Clear Our Name arc.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Despite having originally been a new guy in the villain's group, Xandus quickly climbed up the pecking order by beating the crap out of everything and being generally awesome.

%%* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: leet_x1337 practically qualifies for this all on his own.

There have been over 60 contributors to the story, so it might not surprise you to learn that there are LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters.

''Avatar Adventures'' is a permanently open forum-based role-playing game, which can be located [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/362.101127 here]]. It was the second ever RP on the Escapist forums to reach 100 pages, falling just a week behind the first. It is currently ongoing as of 2019.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: There was an entire story arc revolving around dragons.

-->''In a quiet meadow in a grassy field, Ram strolls through his land. He mighty goat legs pound against the Earth, because he felt like they should. He flexes his neck muscles, giving the group of female goats a better look at his mighty 4 foot horns. They merely giggled and hoped to the other side of the meadow.''
->--'''Ramthundar, first post of the RP'''

-->''"Hey, look at me! I'm making a spectacle of myself!" Death cried, leaping to the center of the crowd and dancing around in a circle. "Isn't it funny how anthropomorphic turtles smell exactly like sewage? Isnit?"''
->-- '''Sam G, detailing [[Manga/SoulEater Death the Kid]]'s attempt to distract the zombified Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles [[ItMakesSenseInContext while his cousin steals their wallets]]'''

''Avatar Adventures'' is a permanently open forum-based role-playing game, which can be located [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/362.101127 here]]. It was the second ever RP on the Escapist forums to reach 100 pages, falling just a week behind the first. It is also technically the longest-running RP on the Escapist, as there was a 50-plus-page thread present chronicling the adventures of the various protagonists which was locked after an issue involving a character from a webcomic one of the players was using as their main character.

There have been over 60 contributors to the story, so it might not surprise you to learn that there are LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters. As such, you'll be happy to learn there's a [[Characters/{{AvatarAdventures}} Character Sheet]] for you to sink your teeth into.

* AdaptationDecay: [[Manga/SoulEater Death the Kid]], [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Grimmjow Jaegerjaques]] and [[VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou Sho Minamimoto]] are TheDitz, TheChewToy and a walking talking ClusterFBomb respectively in this game.
** This is essentially assumed of any fictional character that pops into the RP.

-->"But... I thought I was in an adventure! With a Ram! And a Ninja Monkey!" Phil says, reality closing in on him.
-->"Your brain must've been active the whole time. It was probably just one long dream." The nurse says.
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: At the start of the current timeline, Sam G decided he wanted a new main character. The only problem was, his current character (Death the Kid) was immortal, so [[DroppedABridgeOnHim killing him off]] wasn't exactly easy. In the end, Sam decided to finish off one of his oldest and most beloved RP characters by [[FateWorseThanDeath sealing him at the end of the second AA universe where he was doomed to experience the end of time and be removed from existence completely]].]] Sam claims to have actually [[TearJerker shed a tear]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone having done this]].
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Maddawg]] and [[spoiler:Xandus]]
** And more recently, [[spoiler:Death]], [[spoiler:Livingness]] and [[spoiler:Sam]]

And again. And again.]]
** [[spoiler:Severin]] during the Tiberius Invasion Arc
