Amy Cherryclaw: There is a reason why I abbreviate [Random Jedi Order]."
Hayate Yagami: "Who the hell calls their organization 'random'?"
Amy Cherryclaw: "Um... I guess I was bored when I thought of the name. I-I mean, I was 15, half-asleep and probably sugar-high!"

A Mega Crossover Fan Fiction by Ameliette in which two girls discover a magic portal that makes various characters appear in our world. Every time new characters appear, their powers start manifesting in native Earthlings, as well. Feeling responsible, the two girls set up a school for these people. The thing is, not only good characters got through the portal...
The crossover includes characters from following series: Star Wars (The Clone Wars and the Original Trilogy), Warrior Cats, Fullmetal Alchemist, Avatar: The Last Airbender (and the sequel, The Legend of Korra), Sailor Moon, Lyrical Nanoha, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Harry Potter, Sly Cooper, and Uncharted. Inspired by such parody series as Therapy, Alagaesia Goes Crazy and Craziness, Candy, Jedi Knights and WHAT!, the fic started as a supposed comedy, but soon deteriorated to extensive Slice of Life Hurt/Comfort Fic.
Notable side stories:
- Port Adventures, multiple separate and/or alternative stories for the times when someone ends up back in Canon (or not-so-canon).
- Most are on Recon Order Ports, with the exception of:
- When Good Girls Go To War, where Amy wakes up in an AU Avatar: The Last Airbender universe.
- Forged Family, in which another Amy from an Alternate Timeline lands in Uncharted universe... That is also a Mega Crossover universe of Marvel Cinematic Universe, Digimon Adventure and Sly Cooper, with bits and bobs from Harry Potter, Lyrical Nanoha, and Transformers: Prime for good measure.
- Pretty Cure Safe Harbor, a Precure Fanseries set in 2032, starring Amy's youngest daughter and her friends.
Random Jedi Order provides examples of... (WIP)
- Absurdly Cool City: The Lotuspad, Reconstructed Order's capital. It's a Arcology on Water.
- Adapted Out: The portal brinds in only the characters the girls like, leaving, among others, the Jedi Council out.
- All Therapists Are Muggles: Averted. As soon as The Masquerade breaks, there are more than a few psychs willing to offer their services.
- Apocalypse How: After the WWM Earth suffers a Planetary Societal Disruption, with any unprepared area dropping to Societal Collapse and certain areas, mostly those most affected by the tsunamis, suffer Physical Annihilation, only leaving behind ruins.
- Arcology: Post-war stories take place on a giant world-sailing self-sufficient ship-city called Lotuspad. And it's not the only one, there are at least three others.
- Artifact Title: They aren't really random, nor Jedis. The Order is renamed Reconstructed Order in the beginning of the WWM
- Artificial Limbs: Anakin, Edward, Sokka, to list a few.
- Author Avatar: Amy Cherryclaw, and to a lesser degree, the other "main girls".
- Background Magic Field: Comes in many, many forms:
- The Force: Ever-present BMF, with some areas being stronger than average, but no Force-dry place exists, even in other worlds.
- Alchemy and Alkahestry: The magic/energy comes from deep within the Earth, and alchemy uses the momevent of continents as a power source, whereas alkahestry uses energy spurted topside by volcanoes. Weaker in Finland and other super-geologically-stable areas, but needs extra channelling if used right next to a volcano to avoid magic overload.
- Bending: Behaves like the Force. Chi is everywhere in moderate quatities, but especially spiritual places (eg. nearby spirit portals) tend to have stronger chi-field.
- Mana: Goes against the usual notion of magic being weaker around technology: advanced science actually creates stronger pools and fields of mana. Modern society creates enough mana to support the mages, but the lack of mana becomes an issue for mages in Ava-verse.
- Wand Magic: Likes Ley Lines, and cast magic leaves residual energy, which makes areas like Hogwarts thick with magic, but generally the BMF doesn't come into play unless spellcrafting or insanely huge spells are in play. (This is how the Weasley twins managed to pull off certain pranks in Hogwarts.) The RJO temple soon becomes a magic-heavy place when certain individuals want to invoke Sufficiently Analyzed Magic.
- There is also a certain amount of gray area between the different magics, or just called 'free magic energy' which can be used regardless of caster's specialization. Related forces can tap into each other in emergencies (Force/Chi, Alchemy/Mana/Wand Magic), and if you happen to have affinity with more than one kind of magic (eg. Jedi/Mage), you can use one type to boost the other.
- Bigger on the Inside: The apartments in the temple and on the lilies are a lot bigger than what the corridors let on.
- Building of Adventure: The whole temple is one giant building with many secrets.
- But What About the Astronauts?: The moment USA is unable to continue its supply runs to the ISS, R(J)O takes up the task.
- Cat Folk: Nekeras.
- Comes Great Responsibility: You found the black hole/portal that transports fictional characters into your world? You also help them hide from the authorities. Turns out Earth-natives also now have powers? Get a school for them so they don't hurt anyone. The portal spews out a few Omnicidal Maniacs, hell-bent on destroying the world? Well, you take them down, of course. This carries to a several levels of detail, from the biggest, WW-class actions, to the minuscule details of everyday life.
- Dances and Balls: The school holds two each year, a summer party and a Yule Ball.
- Elaborate Under Ground Base: The RJO HQ in Helsinki has only four floors above-ground (as opposed to c. 50 floors underground), and HBS has one.
- Elemental Powers: With bending and two Magical Girl series, what else can be expected?
- Extranormal Institute
- First Contact: Amy and Hayden try to pull an ET, but it kinda fails since the Force leaked over with the "aliens". And because hiding two large spaceships is kinda difficult.
- Fun with Acronyms:
- ROSA = Reconstructed Order Safety Administration
- SEALS(APP) = Students' Environment for Assistance in Learning and Stuff (Actually Procrastination Platform)
- Functional Magic: Alchemy, Inherent Rule Magic from Lyrical Nanoha, The Force of Star Wars and Inherent Gift Elemental Powers from Avatar.
- Furry Confusion: Nekeras, pet cats and cat Familiars.
- Great Offscreen War: The World War of Magic, raced from 2020 to 2023, started by Voldemort's Wizarding War II and ends with the formation of Magical Girl Registry. We only see the aftermath (Earth in ruins) and survivors, but actual battles are never seen, even in stories happening during it.
- Healing Hands: There are a lot of healers.
- Heel–Face Turn: Plenty, even excluding canon turns. Tigerstar is one of the more Egregious examples.
- Honor-Related Abuse: Poor, poor Zuko.
- Humanity Ensues: For the Warrior Cats characters.
- I Am Not My Father: Zuko, also Lizardstripe.
- I Wish It Were Real: Perhaps the best trope to describe the beginning.
- Improbably Female Cast: The ladies get a lot more screen time. Not really helped by the Trope Picture Lyrical Nanoha and another Magical Girl show, Sailor Moon (extended with four new girls, even!) being included.
-
Iron Woobie: Dear Lord, Zuko. Also Anakin, to a lesser degree. - Kid from the Future: Sailor Moon cast includes not just Rini, but her two younger sisters!
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: A very metatastic conversation between Amy and Elena Fisher mentions there being a Finnish girl in Elena's universe writing a giant megacrossover...Nathan Drake: Do you mean that everything that ever has happened, regardless of place, time or dimension, is fiction to someone?
- The Magic Comes Back: "normal" humans suddenly discovering they can bend, use the Force or become half-cats.
- Mama Bear: Do not get between Amy and her children.
- Meaningful Name: Nekeras follow the (fan-derived) Warrior Cats logic of "prefix despribes appearance, suffix skills/personality".
- N.G.O. Superpower
- Non-Human Head: Inverted variant, nekeras have a human face and body frame with full fur, tail and ears. All genders have human hair.
- Non-Uniform Uniform: Students are allowed to modify and customize their uniforms as they please, as long as they still have a white button-up top and plaid gray bottom.
- One-Steve Limit: Amy, Ami, May, Mai and May.
- Smart House: A few.
- State Sec: What the armed part of RO basically amounts to.
- Sunken City: Lotuspad finally anchors itself over one in the 2050s.
- Teleporters and Transporters: The teleport that brings all the characters in is a more-or-less-in-control worm hole.
- Translation Convention: Everyone speaks English, no matter what they spoke back home. Writing is a different thing, though...
- Translator Microbes: Mages and wizards have a spell for it.
- Trapped in TV Land: Every port case.
- Undead Tax Exemption: They have made an art out of creating IDs for the new residents.
- The Unmasqued World: The Masquerade barely even had time to exist before some kid in the states got his hands of the Force and blew stuff up, forcing the SW crew to come out of hiding. Thankfully it happened at that point, so the world didn't freak out at the ... weirder imports.
- We Will Use Lasers in the Future: Star Wars was there first, so it's sort of The Artifact.
-
What Could Have Been: Gay Batman and Robin with two Sith children. And yes, The Joker as a hero.- Indiana Jones vs. Han Solo.
- Depending on the continuity the Star Wars characters are from, Anakin could have two Artificial Limbs.
- Wizarding School: Less and less just this as the school gets more mundane students.
- World War III: The World of Magic.
