On the main forum:

  • Adorkable: Arthur, who has been described as the Shadow's "puppy" in that he is entirely useless to them but adorable in his earnest desire for approval.
    • Also Aldrich, who gets so frequently flustered by the shenanigans with his statues, but admits he really does care for them and doesn't regret accidentally bringing them to life. D'awww.
    • Sieg fits as well, given his eternally sunny disposition coupled with his penchant for embarrassing himself- something he is fully aware of, and sheepishly attributes to being an "ignorant country-boy in the big city."
  • Cry for the Devil: Fang's take on Captain Scarblade and Xandra.
  • Fan Nickname: Several characters get one:
    • 'Leiflet' for Leif Jade.
    • 'Woob-dad' for Ambrose Stallion.
    • 'Knifedude Shank' for the nameless Courdonian who attacked Morgaine in round 11.
    • 'Puppy' for Arthur.
    • 'Owldrich' for Aldrich AKA Galateo Owl.
  • Fan Nickname: Manfred von Kitten for Manfred von Karma when he was transformed into a kitten. Technically the Icy Taco was a fan nickname as well (for the IC chat thread) but it became Ascended Fanon within a few months.
  • Memetic Badass: Hunty and Stal.
  • Memetic Mutation: "Epic Equipment - Please Do Not Use."
    • KEYBORD GOD
      • Pink Fluffy Roll'd!
      • The Icy Taco's ilikemybikeplz.
      • Not Dan!
      • Draw Kiyoshi in a dress!
  • Nightmare Fuel: Fang Of The Dead tends to add little Fridge Horror bits and pieces of this into his works - however, one example isn't Fridge Horror at all: Lord Kass. He intentionally writes Kass to be as bad as the board rules would allow - this quote best illustrates the depths of Kass' depravity:
    Lord Kass: "First, I should make sure Sirocco is locked up and primed for execution by that fat oaf, Skarl, for a crime he didn't commit. Then, have some mercenaries capture Miraja - alive, of course - so I can have her made into one of my soldiers through torture. After that, I take Ashlynne as my bride after sending that old Korbat Darigan to his final resting place - and if Ashlynne doesn't volunteer, I'll just have old Morguss brew up a Love Potion. And then... When everything's all said and done, I have my armies lead assaults spread out across all of Meridell so (the kinghts) will be spread thin - after Sirocco's been executed, naturally - and then - when Ashlynne's locked away in her chambers, totally subservient to me - they burn Meridell to the ground while all the other Knights are busy fighting my collective forces. Finally, I track down the whelp, and, having had Miraja tortured into being the perfect assassin - force him to kill his own wife. And then, when he's broken, having lost everyone he loves... I can either kill him, or keep him alive in the dungeons to torment for the rest of his existence."
  • Shipping: Attack of the shippers, PFA, Candy, and Kat to name a few.

Guild Wars:

Medieval Roleplay:

  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment:
    • Laurie gets knocked out and this results in a dream sequence which is... weird to say the least.
    • Happens again with several random Jade NPCs in round nine, who appear out of nowhere to do a rendition of "Be Our Guest," then leave again. No-one notices them or reacts.
  • Harsher in Hindsight:
    • Destiney's tantrum to Aines where she threatens to throw herself out of the window and let the whole kingdom see if he does not get Kelcey to the feast. This hilarious example of overreaction becomes a lot less funny after the finale, where Destiney does fall out of a window with King Malik, to their deaths. And the whole kingdom saw.
    • After Kelcey gives Rosalie a scare by pretending to be a Courdonian lord while smitten with her, she tells Aines in a fit of pique that he should have Kelcey beheaded. She didn't really mean it, she was just frightened and overreacting and the entire outburst was played for laughs. Four rounds later, the King of Courdon actually beheaded Kelcey.

    • MAGERAGE. Explanation
