Everyone in Ikebukuro is so nice. You should come here~
" But, apparently, you just love to scream my name, don`t you?"
— Saito/Saitou Aizawa, prior to the famous biting scene.
Every good series needs a good roleplay based off of it. This is Durarara's.
Located in the forums of Gaia Online, Warning focuses on the lives of many different young men in Ikebukuro, with a few exceptions for one or two female extras. The Colorless and Maroon Sneakers are at each other's throats again. Both leaders strive to find each of the opposing sides' leader, unaware of the connection already established between them as best friends. They suspect nothing wrong with each other. Well, scratch that-they know something's up but they refuse to admit it. Their other best friend is supposedly helping out each gang's leader-without the other leading knowing, of course. Oh, and at the end of the day, he's being manipulated by the informant, who in the end is nothing but a Manipulative Bastard who does everything just for the kicks.
Meanwhile, said informant has his own problems on the side. Mainly, the bodyguard, who seems to be dead set on snapping his neck once and for all. And of course, he does nothing except edge him on even further. At least he has the mute demon rider there with him, always with a bottle of milk handy. Oops, too bad that there's another certain connection between the demon rider and the informant. As if the male didn't have enough problems, considering his relationship with the morally corrupt scientist, who slices just about anyone and everyone who is brought to his lap up.
The Belligerent Sexual Tension and Unresolved Sexual Tension couldn't be stronger in this place, and that is not even taking account into several other characters who are introduced later on in the story.
Note: Roleplay may occasionally cause Mood Whiplash due to the contrast of both crack and angst. Oh, and the love for Fanservice that the players have, which is mainly for themselves.
This roleplay contains examples of the following Tropes
- Annoying Laugh: Aizawa. Everywhere. Even when he's asleep, you can hear giggling as he breathes. It's no wonder Shinji's always like, 'shut the hell up' before trying to shove something down his throat. Though what that particular something is is up to you to decide.
- AstroTurf: When the White Leader created a new website for fun, membership started to increase into millions when Aizawa came across it. Later it suddenly burdened him to know he made it once criminals started to use it under the website's name.
- Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted by most of the cast, though Aizawa does have his moments. After all, no matter how abused that body is, he still comes around.
- Being Tortured Makes You Evil: Kisu
- Berserk Button:
- Pissing Shinji off is easy. And dangerous. Unless you like pain, be careful~
- Reiki, when someone goes near his face. Yes, he knows he is cute, and everyone else does too apparently, but hell no, do not even touch his face if you want your hands not to be used as a noose to strangle you. Unless you're his best friend Aizawa, of course~
- We also all know that Kazuki's a cute guy but he'll pull a Mike goddamn Tyson and rip your ear off if you hurt Hideo. Also if you check your pants there probably won't be anything down there anymore to use... if you're a man... and if you're a girl... well why are you reading this.
- If you hurt or try to harass a man or a lady, Hiro's comin' after you. After that ass.
- Beware the Honest Ones: Naoya
- Beware the Nice Ones: The nicer you are, the more likely you are to stab someone's eye out
- Big Brother Bully: Aizawa again, and to accompany him is the lovely Kita.
- Blatant Lies: "Innocent Aizawa never did anything wrong."
- Break the Cutie: Oh poor, poor Kisu. And to a lesser extent, Aizawa and Reiki, but it's less breaking than going batshit insane.
- Butt-Monkey: Hideo and Reiki. Though to be fair, they're asking for it.
- By "No", I Mean "Yes": Ren~
- Can't Hold His Liquor: Surprisingly, Shinji at times (then again anyone would be if you chug that much beer all at once). Reiki definitely qualifies as so.
- Color-Coded for Your Convenience: I wonder what colors the Maroon Sneakers and the Colorless use?
- Crazy Jealous Guy: Haine. To the head his brother is in love with. And it gets worse from there on out.
- Crotch-Grab Sex Check: Hiro, though no one's complaining.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Kaoru, we're looking at you.
- Deadly Doctor: No points for guessing who.
- Digging Yourself Deeper: Aizawa. When you're about to be plummeled to the ground, what's the first thing you do? Calling the man who's about to kill you a monster in the most devastatingly mind crushing way. Yeah, that's what I would do if I was about to die.
- Distracted by My Own Sexy: Hiro and Aizawa are the largest offenders. Though in their offense when they're not kissing their mirrors, they say why would they expect someone to tap them if they themselves wouldn't.
- Distracted by the Sexy: Hiro, whenever he sees any pretty girl, much to Ninel's dismay. Hiro has yet to read 'She's Just Not That Into You.'
- Does This Remind You of Anything?:
- Everyone Went to School Together:
- Eye Scream: Oh Yukio, you're not supposed to stab a man's eye out just for trying to dissect you while you were awake with no anesthetics. At least he got better soon afterwards.
- Fake–Real Turn: the colorLESS
- Fan Nickname: The most mind boggling one is Bad Girl, which has been so gracefully bestowed to Hiro of all people. Let's just hope it doesn't catch on IC wise or the boys will have a blast with that... Other ones are:
- Kaoru - Kao
- Reiki - Rei
- Yukio - Yuu
- Aizawa - Ai-chan
- Akio - Kio
- Kazuki - Kazu
- Naoya - Nao
- Rokuro - Kuro
- Ninel - Nini
- Haruki - Haru
- Shinji - Shini-chan, resident sex symbol, sex god, head pimp
- White Leader - THE BOSS.
- First-Name Ultimatum: AIZAAAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-KUUUUUUUUUUUUN
- Flat "What": Seiran when people suddenly appear in his brother's apartment. At night. In the middle of the night. He isn't gonna even try to ask. Damn crazy kids and their slang he can't understand...
- Forgets to Eat: Haruki, to the point that it would have brought him fairly dangerous consequences if he weren't a demon...
- Friendship Moment: Stick Shinji and Haruki in a room anywhere and you're bound to end up with something bordering on bromance. And secretly, Aizawa actually cares about Reiki. To a lesser extent, stick anyone who hasn't got a long term grudge on another and isn't a robot or a spoiled prince and you may just get a fluffy scene.
- Giggling Villain: Aizawa certainly qualifies, but Reiki wins the title for this one. You can't go wrong with hearing innocent giggling while he paints with your blood~~
- Good Cop/Bad Cop: Haruki's the kind of man to interrogate calmly- just don't ask why Shinji's raging face is behind him with that stop sign...
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Shinji, just what the hell made you that strung up? Maybe you didn't get coddled enough when you were a kid.
- Hannibal Lecture: Aizawa. Shit just got real.
- Have I Mentioned I Am Sexually Active Today?: Hehe, Aizawa sure's good at pretending when his first was Shinji in a bathtub. Also Hiro and Kaoru, but those two really did get around before meeting their respective cuties.
- He Is All Grown Up: Haine to Naoya, ignoring all [[Squick squickiness]] that would normally ensue.
- I Just Want to Be Normal: Oh Shinji, sometimes you really do deserve a hug.
- Jerkass: Naoya, for claiming to be an indifferent person you really do go out of your way to make Haine's life miserable sometimes. Kisu could also count, but his is mostly justified.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Shinji, yes, even though you're the most violent and destructive person here you're a poster boy for this trope. Take your cake and go.
- Licking the Blade: Aizawa. He's practicing~
- Limited Wardrobe: Shinji, though he has been known to wear other clothes...sometimes...well, just once or twice, but it counts, right?
- Love Makes You Crazy: Oh Haine, you were such a sweet kid before you fell. And surprisingly inverted by Reiki—he was already crazy to begin with, it's actually being in love with Haruki that's keeping him sane...for now. Aizawa could count as this, if one were to take his "I Love Humans!" parade seriously.
- Loves the Sound of Screaming: Reiki's this close to jumping the next person he sees when they scream.
- Made of Iron: Shinji and Aizawa.
- Not So Weak: Yukio, definitely Yukio. But it takes a while.
- Older Than They Look: And damn does Haruki look fine after being alive for god knows how many years.
- Precocious Crush: Technically Reiki, Naoya and Aizawa would count...somewhat.
- Punch! Punch! Punch! Uh Oh...: Even though anyone trying to lay a hand on Shinji would qualify, it has been done IC-ly by Ninel. Guess what happened next.
- Rapid-Fire Typing: Who other than Haruki could fit this trope?
- Real Men Wear Pink: Seiran, almost to memetic levels. Hell no, you can't seperate pink from this man.
- Scary Shiny Glasses: Reiki and Shinji's glasses.
- Slasher Smile: Receiving this smile from Reiki means you're probably going to be dissected soon enough. Earning a cute innocent smile in normal conditions? Good, Reiki loves you. Earning a cute smile while you're in his lab? You're going to die in the most excruciating and painful way.
- Sleep Cute: People sure seem to think that Shinji looks like an angel while sleeping. Also, Reiki seems to think this about Haruki, but it's less cute than more thinking that he's good enough to jump...
- Smoking Is Cool: It seems to be a trend around here. Shinji, Rokudo, Hiro...one of these days we're going to get proof that Yukio also takes part of this group. No doubt about it.
- Stalker with a Crush: Stalker? Check. With a Crush? Check it a million times. Problem is, Ninel denies the first and refuses to acknowledge the second even exists for him.
- Sweet Tooth: Ninel, who loves cake and ice cream more than a five year old does.
- Take Off Your Clothes: Shinji to Aizawa, though it generated more Break the Haughty vibes from Aizawa than anything else...
- The Nicknamer: Reiki gives nicknames to everyone. Yes, even you, strange reader. Hideo would also qualify but eh...his nicknames mostly consist of some variation 'commoner'...
- There Are No Therapists: Seriously, you can count with one hand the characters who haven't been screwed up in some way or another.
- Too Dumb to Live: Too many to list, though Yukio and Aizawa are the top choices for this.
- Tsundere: Everyone's a tsundere here, though that's most likely due to the fact that everyone thinks that All Love Is Unrequited even when Everyone Can See It. (Yes, I'm looking at you, Haruki and Reiki.)
- Villains Never Lie: Aizawa, Aizawa, why you insist that everything you say is completely true? Oh wait because it is...
- Yandere: Yori. Naoya for Kana. Haine for Naoya. Reiki for...anyone really, he's just happy to cut people up.
