It's bound to happen eventually. Some people may not agree with others about one's level of genius or power level. Or whether someone deserved a punishment or not. The fact remains that their milage may vary.
- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The first appearance of Miles the friendly mimic in Alta Marea definitely fits the bill, with a ridiculous character with no backstory or reason for being where he is, complete with random singing. He is encountered again later on, at which point he receives a backstory and becomes plot-relevant.
- Ensemble Dark Horse: Ice Moon, a fairy originally introduced by SDM into I Have Become the Ruler of TMS (the "sequel" to Help Yourself Take Over TMS), got so well-recieved by both the SW mainstays and non-RPers that she became a full-fledged character in her own right. SDM is currently working on a backstory and plot for her (though, knowing who he is, you know it won't be happy, but it'll be pretty darn good).
- Even Better Sequel: Crossroads to Another World in Gensokyo.
- Fridge Horror: Remember how Arachnos played Cirno like a puppeteer when he was in his Knight Templar mode? Imagine if he was both A.) Anarchos and B.) Could do that whenever he pleased on whoever he pleased for as long as he wished. Yeah.
- Heartwarming Moments: Aurion going to Arietta's burial ground to see Kanako's gift to him. Arietta forgiving Kanako for what he thinks is abandoning her would also count.
- Ho Yay: Kanako and Aurion try very hard to make sure their characters don't stray into this territory with their friendship. That doesn't mean both the people and the characters joke about it sometimes.
- Les Yay: CirnoXLaia. Subverted too, their love being purely platonic as neither of them really know anything about sex.
- Manipulative Bastard: Kanako says Desmond is supposed to be this, and also dipping into Magnificent Bastard territory at times. Your Milage May Vary as to whether or not he's been able to keep the standard, though. Both he and Arachnos have said they're collaborating on a Gaiden-like story for Desmond that will most likely catapult him into this trope.
- Memetic Mutation: "ASS THE DRAGON", Shadow Ryusaki's Shadowisms, plus a couple more.
- Moment of Awesome: It doesn't matter how much you dislike Agensuto for what he nearly did to Flandre; the fact that he was able to punch a hole in Yami's barrier and kick Yami's weapon out of the ground to stop Yami's attack was pretty darn cool.
- Parody Sue: Ken was most likely intended to be as over-the-top humorously Suetiful as possible - being friends with Yukari, having a spellcard named Pervert Sign "Rape", an abundance of powers and stunt doubles to die instead of him is just some of the ways this was attempted. Sadly he ended up as a Parody Sue that became as annoying as the real deal, due in no small part to being in a multiplayer roleplay as opposed to a single-player story - because when your character is faced with a boltgun that "fires 3200 RPM, each bullet has as much power as a nuclear ICBM, and coated with anti-immortality potion", be it in serious or in jest, you will be pissed.
- Wangst:
- Arachnos, quite often. Both the character AND THE PLAYER.
- Cirno, whom Arachnos controls, does this quite a bit whenever she feels weaker than those around him.
