History Roleplay / ProjectionQuest

* [[spoiler:Yukari Yakumo, from ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}]]
* [[spoiler:Oscar Pine, from ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}]]

* [[spoiler:Sigurd, from the ''Franchise/Nasuverse'']]

* [[spoiler:Kenpachi Zaraki, from Bleach]]
* [[spoiler:Po, from Kung Fu Panda]]
* [[spoiler:Yukari Yakumo, from Touhou]]
* [[spoiler:Oscar Pine, from RWBY]]
* [[spoiler:Sigurd, from Nasuverse]]
* [[spoiler:Scar, from Fullmetal Alchemist]]

* AccidentalInnuendo: Is hilarious that someone who is obviously a virgin, [[spoiler: Greg]], choose the codename "G-Man"
* ActionDad: Subverted with Danny who tries to invoke this trope only to be stopped when he tried due to being a non-powered civilian with no combat training whatsoever making him a liability. [[spoiler: Played straight later on after being empowered with aura and training.]]

* AdaptationalHeroism: Trainwreck, instead of being a member of the Merchants, is a member of Oathbound and acts as the groups second in command.
* AdaptationNameChange: The cape that went by Browbeat in canon goes by Aspirant, thanks to the [[spoiler:Po]] showing him that his power has more potential than he initially believed.

* Always Accurate Attack: Trainwreck's Semblance allows him to reach his target in the most optimal way possible, which combined with his size, Tinker Classification, and Aura Powers, makes him surprisingly very difficult to dodge.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: There is no way magic and souls exists in a world where people can suddenly manifest Superpowers that break the laws of physics.

* CassandraTruth: After the first meeting between the Emmy, Taylor and Protectorate Emmy explains that he is Taylor's power that is a sapient projection under her control. Because there was no precedent of any power being outright sapient no one believed them and assumed that Taylor just mastered then empowered some random person because from their perspective it was a far more plausible explanation. This is only temporary though since the next meeting Arsmaster is able to use his lie detector to learn that Taylor and Emmy were telling the truth.
* CastFromLifespan: A variant of this happens with Emmy. Each of Emmy's emulations have a pool of energy for each emulated character and if said pool drops to zero then the current emulation 'lifespan' will end and the cycle will switch to a new one.

* DragonKnight: After her training with Emmy!Sigurd and obtaining a Dragon Core Taylor becomes, for all purposes to measure such thing, into a Dragon.

* FashionDesigner: Parian uses her powers to make costumes and clothe with her shop being inside Oathbounds base The Heap. She was also the one to design and make Taylor's costume.
* GadgeteerGenius: Trainwreck is Oathbounds tinker.

She almost... almost could convince herself that she missed the bullying.

* AccidentalInnuendo: Is hilarious that someone who is obviously a virgin, [[spoiler: Greg]], choose the codename "G-Man"
* ActionDad: Subverted with Danny who tries to invoke this trope only to be stopped when he tried due to being a non-powered civilian with no combat training whatsoever making him a liability. [[spoiler: Played straight later on after being empowered with aura and training.]]

* AdaptationalHeroism: Trainwreck, instead of being a member of the Merchants, is a member of Oathbound and acts as the groups second in command

* BackFromTheDead: Taylor gains this ability from Yukari!Emmy as a application of Onmyodo, although it only works on Parahumans and particularly traumatized people. [[spoiler:She uses it to resurrect the recently deceased Miss Militia and Dauntless as well as Fleur.]]

* CameBackWrong: Downplayed with [[spoiler:Fleur]], while her memories and personality are mostly intact. Her relationship with [[spoiler:New Wave and how people saw her resulted in her having memories of being Brandish and Lady Photon’s sister and having Blonde Hair, both of which she didn’t have in life.]]

* CrossoverCosmology: The way Emmy's power works is that somewhere out there in the multiverse the events that occurred with the emulation happened.

* CoolBigSis: Emmy as Yukari was this to Taylor while Taylor was this to Emmy as Oscar.
* CoolSword: Gram is not only a sword given by Odin to Sigurd, but also a sword that has been directly compared to Excalibur as far as power is concerned, which in the Nasuverse means strong enough to one-shot a meteorite. All of this was demonstrated when [[spoiler: caused more damage to an Endbringer alone than several hundred of Capes had ever done]]

* DistractedByTheSexy: People towards Sigurd, and Taylor after learning Divinity.

* Dragon Knight: After her training with Emmy!Sigurd and obtaining a Dragon Core Taylor becomes, for all purposes to measure such thing, into a Dragon.

* NiceHat: While Yukari Yakumo, Emmy is very insistent that Taylor needs a hat. She later gets the one seen in the page art.
* NoSocialSkills: Greg has a tendency to ramble on about his favorite topics and doesn't fully comprehend social cues, Kenpachi doesn't care about anything that cant give him a good fight, Sigurd is an overly serious warrior from premodern Norse Mythology, and Taylor has been without friends for her entire high school career.
* NoodleIncident: Danny and Fleur go on a road trip to visit Lightstar. This resulted in Danny punching Lightstar for being a dick, Danny getting labeled a villain and him and Fleur booking it out of town. At some point the vehicle caught on fire and Danny fought a bear.

* OneManArmy: Taylor is considered this by many going so far as to be called 'Baby Eidolon' or even considered to be in the Triumvirates tier by some. [[spoiler:Miss Militia is a much more literal example since her new power after coming back to life is to summon projections of fallen soldiers]]

* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: Gram is a sword of selection, therefore only Sigurd is capable of wielding its extraordinary power [[spoiler: or at least that is how it was supposed to be, as even Emmy himself is completely stunned by the fact that Greg was able to to use against Simurgh, indicating that the sword has chosen a new wielder]]. This trope gains even more strength after Emmy!Sigurd embeds the sword in the ground, from which a tree sprouts, and then gives a speech about how only someone worthy may be able to remove it, in a direct reference to what his ancestor did the first time.

* TheDreaded: Taylor is this for the Bay due to her immense power and versatility both along with having a powerful projection that is both able to act independently of her, with a significant range, and do so while invisible and being able to move through walls outside combat. She has been noted as a heroic Lung by one villain and considered a Triumvirate level Parahuman by another.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Taylor upon meeting Legend for the first Time.
* TheNthDoctor: Emmy's nature is such in that they will literally become different people, while still keeping the same consciousness, periodically by emulating characters from across the Multiverse. Emmy after his time as any emulation will eventually end up with them becoming a different character and will change their race, gender, species and even personality to match said emulation along with gaining their powers, skills and memories as long as they are said emulation. Despite the changes they are still technically the same person no matter the iteration. The QM themselves even compare the process to the Trope Namer Doctor Who's regeneration.

* TheQuietOne: Aspirant who rarely speaks up and usually keeps to himself unless doing anything with his team or sought up specifically.

* SuperEmpowering: Emmy is capable of this with the right emulation. Taylor is this as well thanks to RWBY Aura.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Greg is under the belief that Lisa is a helpful Genki Girl and that he is supposed to help the Undersiders go through a redemption arc.

* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: Gram is a sword of selection, therefore only Sigurd is capable of wielding its extraordinary power [[spoiler: or at least that is how it was supposed to be, as even Emmy himself is completely stunned by the fact that Greg has been able to to use it, indicating that the sword has chosen a new wielder]]. This trope gains more strength after Emmy! Sigurd embeds the sword in the ground, from which a tree sprouts, and then gives a speech about how only someone worthy can remove it, in a direct reference to what his acenstro did the first time.

* DistractedByTheSexy: People towards [[spoiler: Sigurd]], and Taylor after learning Divinity.

->''""You don't get it Master! This is it! The end of this Emulation! Tomorrow I won't be me anymore! I'll be a different Emmy! Different memories! Different skills! A different M.E!" "''

* SuperEmpowering: Emmy is capable of this with the right emulation. Taylor is this as well thanks to RWBYs Aura.

* HilariousinHindsight: Emmy, as Kenpachi, make this particular comment while trying to convince Taylor to be stabbed so she can obtain an Asauchi. The next emulation after this one would be Po:

* BigFancyCastle: Thanks to Onmyodo, Taylor was able to turn her Team's home base-previously a metal plated gas station- into a large castle with Courtyard.
* BigGood: Taylor invokes this by vowing to protect the people of the Bay and parahumans who neither want to be heroes or villains but just want to live their lives without fear of getting gang pressed for having powers. Less privileged people tend to flock to the neighborhoods surrounding them for Taylor's protection which include a group of women that were formerly forced into slavery by the ABB that she rescued.

** Later averted when her Powers start modifying her body to be more fit and attractive looking.

* AscendedMeme: "Secret Harem Protagonist Dad" started as an ongoing joke between readers, joke that only grew stronger when Miss Militia, Mouse Protector, and Fleur showed varied interest in him.

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman?: Despite showing themselves to be obviously Sapient a number of people besides Taylor and some of those close to her like her team and Victoria have trouble considering Emmy as a person with a number of them just considering her as just an extension of her power. Even Emmy is not sure whether they truly count as a person or not.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Though "Best" is debatable, Amy and Taylor have no issues viciously insulting each other while spending time together.

* Mistaken For Racist: Because of circumstances, Taylor ended up being the cause of most of the gangs in the Bay losing power while leaving the Empire 88 untouched for a while. Since many people were not aware of the circumstances behind said events some people accused Taylor of being an Empire sympathizer early on in the quest.
* Mood Swinger: Emmy at first, due to their nature, is an extreme example in that they can literally go from a violent mass murderer with no regard for anyone but Taylor to a genuinely nice guy who likes helping anyone in need in the span of a few hours. Lampshaded in a conversation with Danny and Po's emulation who went from consistently showing disdain for the man one moment to acting friendly and genuinely respectful of him right after changing emulations.

* Power Incontinence: Beastly Combat Perception, obtained from Kenpachi Zaraki, allows Taylor to note openings in an opponent's guard and shows her how best to take down others, even the Author has labeled it "Path to Murder". Unfortunately, it is always on, meaning Taylor is constantly bombarded with visions on how best to murder everyone around her and making her default reflex "kill".

* Contrived Coincidence: Emmy, despite being a Multiverse Emulator Shard with access to hundreds of settings and countless different characters, ends up having his first three emulations as Asian-themed. Out of universe this was mostly due to players picking Anime settings where many characters were Asian along with wanting to pick the second emulation to fit the oriental theme she appeared to have going for her. In-Universe it was noticeable enough that Taylor lampshaded this and asked Emmy if they were specifically Asian. Emmy, at a loss for how to respond, decides to change the subject right away.

* Ascended Meme: "Secret Harem Protagonist Dad" started as an ongoing joke between readers, joke that only grew stronger when Miss Militia, Mouse Protector, and Fleur showed varied interest in him.

* Berserk Button: For Taylor it's others messing with his family and friends, Emmy included.
* Benevolent Boss: Taylor despite being inexperienced as a leader is very mindful and friendly towards the people under her. Even going so far as to befriend them and offer them generous pay.

* Blood Knight: Taylor due to the influence from Kenpachi!Emmy. Nemesis has also made very clear that she also likes to stab things.

* Cast From Lifespan: A variant of this happens with Emmy. Each of Emmy's emulations have a pool of energy for each emulated character and if said pool drops to zero then the current emulation 'lifespan' will end and the cycle will switch to a new one.

* ACupAngst: Taylor before getting access to Divinity.

* BackFromTheDead: Taylor gains this ability from [[spoiler: Yukari]]!Emmy as a application of Onmyodo, although it only works on Parahumans and particularly traumatized people. [[spoiler:She uses it to resurrect the recently deceased Miss Militia and Dauntless as well as Fleur.]]

* ChessMaster: Emmy as [[spoiler: Yukari Yakumo]], Coil, and Taylor has the potential to be one with her Mastermind Skill.

* NiceHat: While [[spoiler: Yukari Yakumo]], Emmy is very insistent that Taylor needs a hat. She later gets the one seen in the page art.
