History Trivia / Noob

* ActorAllusion: Generally speaking, anyone who was in one of Fabien Fournier's previous creations (e.g. around half the cast) have something carry on from their previous character(s). The elements from ''Lost Levels'' tend to be the most obvious due to ''Noob'' being its SpiritualSuccessor.
** Jibédix and Rubis are played by the ''Audioplay/RefletsDAcide'' creator and his girlfriend. In French "Jibédix" sounds just like "JB-10" and Rubis's background is managing a guild named Trichelieu on a game called "RDA online".

* OlderThanTheyThink: The audience first assumed that the series was inspired from ''Franchise/DotHack''. It was actually based on an older web series by Fabien Fournier, ''Lost Levels''. However, an homage was done to this legend in Season 2 premiere: the first appearance of Kevin (the player behind Sparadrap) is in a wheelchair, (and with a Creator/StephenHawking voice) just like Subaru.[[spoiler: It turns out that Kevin was just playing with his grandma's chair.]]
** In addition to ''Lost Levels'', ''Noob'' shares elements of [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3gbzp_parodie-audio-world-of-warcraft-epi_fun an audio spoof of World of Warcraft.]] Some characters existed as early as that spoof, but the noob was the tank, named Fungliboss. Most ''Noob'' characters are, however, meant to be an {{Expy}} of their ''Lost Levels'' version.
** ''Syrial'', a movie made around the same time as later episodes of ''Lost Levels'', had early appearances of quite a few elements used in the novels, especially the second one. Some of the characters ended up in the webseries, such as Pironess and Tabris. The general idea of Centralis first appeared in that movie also.

* TalkingToHimself: A meta-case happens in the third novel, where Gaea and Saly Asigar briefly exchange a few words. As of ''Film/NoobLeConseilDesTroisFactions'', the two characters are played by the same actress.

* TheWikiRule: [[http://wiki.olydri.com/index.php?title=Accueil It's under construction, but it exists]] (in French).

** The actor playing Spectre was a regular extra before taking on his current role.

** Not exactly the trope, but there is a light novel adapted into an anime in October 2013 that is named ''LightNovel/LogHorizon''.

** Anyone who has a second avatar, excluding Omega Zell's attempt at CrossPlaying and Saphir's Gaea look-alike avatar (don't ask), that is more of case of acting for three for the actress playing Gaea.

* CastAsAMask: An inversion of the trope can occur when whatching ''Lost Levels'' after watching ''Noob''. Heimdäl's mask is an allusion to a character his actor was playing in that series, and that character was actually wearing a mask in-game to conceal his identity as someone already seen in real-life parts of the story. If you recognize the actor of even his name in the credits the first time he appears, the identity of the masked man that appears later is obvious.

** Anne-Laure Jarnet, Fabien Fournier's wife as of July 2013 and Gaea's actress, is credited as co-scenarist.
** Philippe Cardona and Florence Torta the comic's illustrator and colorist, work and live together.

** Gologotha's so far webseries-only mage reroll was mostly an excuse to put her actress in more baggy outfit.

** The actor playing Sparadrap is one of the non-gamers of the cast, making him geunineley ignorant of the subject.

Some of the characters ended up in the webseries, such as Pironess and Tabris. The general idea of Centralis first appeared in that movie also.

* RealLifeRelative: In general, the cast is a group of Fabien Fournier's friends who bought in their own acquaitances, who themselves knew other people. When cut down to couples and siblings, you still have :
** Johanna Fournier (Ivy) and "Gabrielle Jolivet"/Anne-Laure Jarnet (Gaea) are respectively Fabien Forunier's (Fantöm) sister and wife (as of July 2013). Matthieu Zecchini (Ystos) and Pierre Zecchini are Fabien Fournier's brothers also.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Some events influenced the writing of the webseries and affected the two other media, some of which with incredibly good timing :
** Amandine Tagliavini (Golgotha) was pregnant for most of Season 3, that had the Noob guild go through a couple of temporary seventh members.
** Jonathan Fourcade (Arthéon) had to reduce his appearances for Season 3, so the story had him sent off to BoardingSchool. That gave a head start to the Season 4 storyline that involved him starting to neglect the guild. He also lost lots of weight between Seasons 4 and 5, right around the time a radical appearance change would be appropriate for his storyline.
** Between Season 3 and 4, Frédéric Zolfanelli (Sparadrap) started losing his hair and one of the solutions to that was to cut it sorter. Sparadrap got a BreakTheCutie moment in Season 3 finale and spent time in charge of the guild in Season 4 [[spoiler:before becoming its official Guild master in the fourth novel and Season 5]].

* ShootTheMoney: The movies were financed by a crodfunding, so they made the most the could of what that money enabled them to afford. It gets noticeable when a place in which only about thirty seconds of dialogue happens get an overiew and character that got new outfits show them off.

** Not exactly the trope, but there is a light novel adapted into anime in October 2013 that is named ''LightNovel/LogHorizon''.
* StageName : The "Gabrielle Jolivet" seen in Season 3 credits is actually Anne-Laure Jarnet. The name Gabrielle Jolivet was also used for the actress's Facebook page at a time.

** The BroadStrokes relationship between the media usually takes care of this trope, but Heimdäl and Arthéon's intended past as best friends escaped that safety net. The two have only interacted twice so far in all three media taken together, and always in circumstances where any random player who did the same thing as Arthéon would have gotten similar response/support from Heimdäl. The only remanents are Arthéon's mentionned past as a Justice guild strategist and their shared practice of roleplay that is blurred out by the fact that the whole Justice guild main roster is made of roleplaying fans.
** According to the Season 5 making-of, the hidden father-son connection between two certain characters was a husband-wife relationship in the early drafts of the story.
* TheWikiRule: [[http://wiki.olydri.com/index.php?title=Accueil It's under construction, but it exists.]] (in French)

** The YetAnotherChristmasCarol episode in Season 1 takes the cake : the three ghosts are the first appearances of the actors playing Pironess (past), Golgotha (present) and Decklan (future). The vision given by the ghost of Christmas past shows Ash chatting with another Coalition player named Tenshirock [[spoiler:(likely foreshadowing in retrospect)]] and an Empire player named Battos, both played by the same actor as the character with the same name that would become recurrent.

* ShootTheMoney: The movies were financed by a crodfunding, so they made the most the could of what that money enabled them to afford.

** Julien Guellerin (Omega Zell) and Amandine Train (Saphir) are mrried and seem to have at least two children.

** The partial overlap between the media usually takes care of this trope, but Heimdäl and Arthéon's intended past as best friends escaped that safety net. The two have only interacted twice so far in all three media taken together, and always in circumstances where any random player who did the same thing as Arthéon would have gotten similar response/support from Heimdäl.

* StageName : "Gabrielle Jolivet" is actually Anne-Laure Jarnet. But you'd better look for Gabrielle Jolivet if you want the actress's Facebook page.

** Acocrding to the Season 5 making-of, the hidden father-son connection between two certain characters was a husband-wife relationship in the early drafts of the story.

** The partial overlap between the media usually takes care of this trope, but Heimdäl and Arhtéon's intended past as best friends escaped that safety net. The two have only interacted twice so far in all three media taken together, and always in circumstances where any random player who did the same thing as Arthéon would have gotten similar response/support from Heimdäl.

* ActingForTwo: Anyone who has a second character, excluding Omega Zell's attempt at CrossPlaying and Saphir's Gaea look-alike avatar (don't ask), that is more of case of acting for three for the actress playing Gaea.

* TalkingToHimself: A meta-case happens in the third novel, where Gaea and Saly Asigar briefly exchange a few words. One of the planned ''Noob'' spin-offs will have Saly Asigar played by Gaea's actress.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The partial overlap between the media usually takes care of this trope, but Heimdäl and Arhtéon's intended past as best friends escaped that safety net. The two have only interacted twice so far in all three media taken together, and always in circumstances where any random player who did the same thing as Arthéon would have gotten similar response/support from Heimdäl.
