History Roleplay / TheInsaneQuestOfUnfathomableRandomness

A {{Play By Post Game|s}} on Creator/{{Nintendo}} Nsider2 Forums created by user Lightning Snow. The Insane Quest Of Unfathomable Randomness (Now referred to as simply TheInsaneQuest) takes place in the Universe of 69 Worlds, a [[CloudCuckooLand surreal]], [[MassivelyMultiplayerCrossover crossover-prone]] parallel universe where literally [[FantasyKitchenSink anything]] can happen. And it does. Quite often.

* NaughtyTentacles: Chibi. Just...Chibi.

-->--'''GameMaster Lightning Snow'''

* {{Expy}} Sarah Belfry is a gender-flipped Simon Belmont from VideoGame/{{Castlevania}}.

* {{Dystopia}}: Metro-Paramus city. But being this town was based on Film/BladeRunner and {{Robocop}}, and probably ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}. It was sorta obvious.

** Lori has red hair too, but also a little [[WhiteHairedPrettyGirl white hair]].

* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl: Lori.

And it does. Quite often.

* GoKartingWithBowser: During the RP's 1-year anniversary celebration, all of the characters, including the villains, all attended a (non-canon) party together. Yes, even [[CompleteMonster Sola]].

* LesYay: Luna and Nico. Lampshaded by ShipperOnDeck Ace.
** Nico/Lori subtext has also become rather popular lately, likely due to the fact that they're both anthropomorphic foxes with similar personalities.

* FoeYay: The first thing Sola does upon encountering Smoosh is try and flirt with them. Eddie appears smitten at first, but snaps out of it when he realizes she is a CompleteMonster.
** Also, Eca calls Ace "cute".
** ''And'' Jack tries hitting on Shi, which she reacts to by throwing grenades at him.
** And let's not even get started on Sola's displays of "affection" for [[KissingCousins Luna]]...

* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks: Irving

* SuperMode / OneWingedAngel: Nico can transfom into a giant pyrokinetic fox. This usually makes her the primary source of transportation when the S.S. Appa isn't around.

* TheGhost: Latrom, Mortal's Doosh counterpart, currently.
* TheSpartanWay: Parodied. When Rustynuts was telling his war story.

* TakeThat: {{Activision}} gets bashed several times over the course of Chapter 4, especially in the end when we find out that the devil is actually [[spoiler: Bobby Kotick]]
* [[spoiler: ToHellAndBack]]
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Nico and Luna, respectively.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: Jack's view on republics becoming [[TheEmpire Empires]]. Also, Jack and Lori's views on justice and terrorism.

* OverlyLongGag: "[[Manga/DragonBall It's over]] [[MemeticMutation ninety percent!]]"

And it does. Quite often.

* FantasyPantheon: Along with pre-existing figures from religion and mythology, there's also [[{{Nintendo}} Nintendoki]], [[{{Sega}} Segami]], [[{{Sony}} Sonyami]] (seeing a pattern here?) and the Four Overlords, two of which being Frost and Rose.

* EverythingsWorseWithBears: Jefferson, a miniature polar bear.

* HeroicSociopath: Edmund.

* {{Dystopia}}: Metro-Paramus city. But being this town was based on Film/BladeRunner and {{Robocop}}, and probably {{Watchmen}}. It was sorta obvious.

* DeadBabyComedy: Chapter IV. Since it takes place in Hell, this is to be expected.

----

* CallingYourAttacks: Zepul is the most notorious example, but Frost has done it on a few occasions as well. Mortal also did it once, with the [[DragonBall "MORTAL ULTRA FIGHTING BOMBER!"]]

** Also Ein. Despite being a DirtyOldMan who collects nude pictures of women as a hobby, he turns down Granny's advances due to being in a committed relationship with [[AceAttorney Wendy Oldbag]].
* ChekhovsSkill: Some of Lori's jobs.
* CityOfAdventure: Metro-Paramus city. Although in some parts, it's a {{Dystopia}}.
* CityNoir: Metro-Paramus city is an example. With a good amount of CyberPunk and {{Dystopia}}.
* ClingyCostume: Rustynuts's armor. He's had it on for so long that it's literally rusted to his body.

* CoolShip: The S.S. Appa, which was created by fusing [[AvatarTheLastAirbender Appa the Flying Bison]] with Lupez's pirate ship.

** Lori's home in Metro-Paramus city is another example, with a dose of {{CyberPunk}} thrown in for good measure.

* CunningLikeAFox: Lori and Nico.

* DePower: Frost.

** Rustynuts would also qualify. Sure, he seems pretty lazy and indifferent at first, until you realize that he was able to bring himself back from the dead through nothing but sheer HeroicSpirit, and he is so physically old that at this point his willpower is the only thing holding his body together.

* {{Dystopia}}: Metro-Paramus city. But being this town was based on BladeRunner and {{Robocop}}, and probably {{Watchmen}}. It was sorta obvious.

* {{Expy}} Sarah Belfry is a gender-flipped Simon Belmont from {{Castlevania}}.

** Lori has red hair too, but also a little [[WhiteHairedPrettyGirl white hair]].

* GenreBusting:Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Action/ {{Shonen}}/Comedy-ToiletHumor/Horror/Romance. All warped up in one mess of a Random RP, named Insane Quest.

-->'''Eddie and Sarah:''' * AsideGlance*

* GuileHero: Eddie.

-->'''Travis:''' Wait, what?! That's it for this chapter? Where the hell are all the No More Heroes references?! Shinobu, Death Metal? Snow told me he would have Sylvia in this chapter! And Suda 51! And [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking masturbation!]] This chapter felt totally rushed! This was NO MORE HEROES!! Where's MORE NO MORE HEROES?! [[RageAgainstTheAuthor You totally screwed me Snow!]] WHAT THE FU---* cue explosion*

* LesYay: Luna and Nico. Lampshaded by ShipperOnDeck Ace.

** To justify this, it's possible that Mortal's species can only reproduce when they are in love with someone, like Kif's species in {{Futurama}}.

* OverlyLongGag: "[[{{Dragonball}} It's over]] [[MemeticMutation ninety percent!]]"

* {{Pirate}}: Captain Wafflemallow Lupez.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: [[AdvanceWars Colin]] assists Jack with money with his troops.

* SdrawkcabName: Many of the members of Doosh, due to them being [[EvilTwin Evil Twins]]/[[EvilCounterpart Evil Counterparts]] of the other characters, such as Eca (Ace), Eidde (Eddie), Nie (Ein) and Latrom (Mortal).

* ShoutOut: The RP frequently features Shout Outs to things such as NoMoreHeroes, AdvanceWars, YugiohTheAbridgedSeries, and even TV Tropes itself.

* StealthPun: In Chapter VI, Smoosh is discussing how they should tell Yvette that she's an item on Nintendoki's List. Washington, a penguin, suggests finding her first, then making it up as they go.[[hottip:*:In other words, the bird is suggesting they wing it.]]

* WhamEpisode: Chapter III. Not only did this chapter mark the first appearance of Doosh, the first recurring antagonists to appear in the story, but it also marked the story's transition from "crazy random humor" to "crazy random humor with a dark storyline and lots of characterDevelopment".

** Nintendoki was originally not going to be an actual god, but just a delusioned individual who thought of himself as a god.

* XMeetsY: Snow has described the story's balance between humorous and dramatic as "BoboboboBobobo meets PandoraHearts".

** This Troper thinks it's {{Earthbound}}'s quirkiness mixed in with, the seriousness of {{Bleach}} of some sorts.

** Played straight with [[spoiler: [[TheLegendOfZelda Link]]]] in Luna's flashback.

* CloudCuckooLander: Mortal plays it straight. Sendiel takes it BeyondTheImpossible.

* GenericEvilOrganizationSquad: Doosh. [[spoiler: The original Smoosh]] will probably be revealed to be one of these as well.

* BigDamnHeroes: Painfully subverted at the end of Chapter 3. After an inspiring MisfitMobilizationMoment, Smoosh storms Doosh's camp in an attempt to rescue Luna. They find Sola waiting there for them, and [[spoiler: she proceeds to '''kill''' every last one of them, including Luna. [[IGotBetter They get better,]] though.]]

* [[spoiler: KillEmAll: Don't worry, [[IGotBetter they get better]].]]

* BadassFurry: Jack and Lori both qualify.

* SuperTrophySuperRack: Frost's Infinite Trophy Case. Possibly justified, as he ''is'' a god...

* AffectionateParody: Roughly 97% of the plot is a pastiche of common AnimeTropes.

* EverythingsCuterWithKittens: Subverted with Zepul.

''Nothing yet!''

[[folder: The new and reboot one.]]

* FridgeBrilliance: When Smoosh meets up with Link in the first chapter, he acts as though he's never met any of the heroes before, including Luna. Four chapters later, Luna has a flashback depicting Link [[spoiler: rescuing her from Dolphin and Sola two thousand years ago.]] At first this just seems like a case of Snow being forgetful, until you realize that, due to the complicated timeline of the [[TheLegendOfZelda Legend of Zelda]] games, the Link encountered in Chapter I and the Link in Luna's flashback are most likely two different people altogether.
** The flashback also results in further FridgeBrilliance as an explanation as to how Luna obtained the Master Sword.
** Another example: In Chapter V, Washington is shown to have a deep seated hatred for sharks. This doesn't seem all that significant at first, until you meet his brother...
