History Fanfic / RadiantSacrifice

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with [[AntiHero Magnamon]] and [[KnightTemplar Alphamon]]. Played completely straight with [[BigGood Seraphimon and Ophanimon]], though.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 4, a peek into the dark mind of Beelzemon.

* AlternateUniverseFic
* {{Angst}}: Magnamon, largely because of [[LoveTropes Love]].
* AntiHero: Beelzemon]. Loves trolling his comrades and gives Magnamon a ''brutal'' HannibalLecture, but given that he ''is'' a member of the Royal Knights and they all seem to genuinely trust him with their secrets to some extent, he does appear to ultimately be on the side of good.
** As of Chapter 4, the author seems to be trying to paint him as a JerkassWoobie NinetiesAntiHero.
** And on another note, Magnamon himself. On the surface and to the world at large, he appears to be a KnightInShiningArmor; [[HiddenDepths in reality, though]], he [[GoodIsNotNice acts much differently]].

* DeaderThanDead: Belphemon's fate at the hands of Beelzemon.

* FromBadToWorse: Steadily gets worse, and Magnamon refers to the trope at one point.

* PsychoForHire: Lucemon comes off as this.

* ScheduleSlip: [=MechaUltimaZero=] is generally known by his fans for [[RuleOfThree three things]]: high quality writing, ''really'' inventive AlternateUniverse ideas, and a ''notoriously'' horrible update schedule.
* ShoutOut
-->'''Beelzemon:''' "[[MemeticMutation POINT BLANK]], [[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion SHITHEAD]]!!"
** There is also an InUniverse ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' reference.

* [[TurnsRed Shines Gold]]: Magnamon's armor. When it actually ''fails'' to shine in the third chapter, it's his first indication that something is ''terribly wrong''.
** Actually, it's somewhat ambiguous whether Magnamon's NighInvulnerability falls under this or some sort of SuperMode, given that he can apparently use it at will.

* AuthorityGrantAsskicking: The Royal Knights. The higher up in the chain of command, the more likely they are to kick your ass.
** Beelzemon [[LampshadeHanging lampshades it]] with regards to the Demon Lords, even mentioning that "authority and asskicking go hand-in-hand."
** On the heroes's side, it even extends beyond the Knights, with Beelzemon mentioning that [[BigGood Seraphimon]] is perhaps the most powerful beings he's ever run across.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Has a sort of Film Noir-style tone to it, and it keeps getting Darker still as the series goes on.
** It's even worse than ''[[Anime/DigimonTamers Tamers]]''.

* {{Expy}}: Beelzemon, of [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Hazama]]. And he's one of the good guys.
** Also Belphemon Rage Mode, of a more bestial version of the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk]].

* GoodIsNotNice: Alphamon and Magnamon. In the latter's case, it ''almost'' borders on LightIsNotGood from time to time.

* KnightTemplar: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with, using Alphamon]]. The only thing keeping him from being a full-on hero is that he becomes paranoid ''far'' too easily, and has no problem using JackBauerInterrogationTechnique on ''one of his own subordinates'' if they do something notably [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness out of character]]. In the chapter ''after'' that, though, upon recovering from said subordinate [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown utterly kicking his ass]], he staunchly ''refuses'' to name the mon who defeated him, and then logically explains that said mon isn't a security threat.
** In Chapter 4, he gets another appearance, although it's from [[ADayInTheLimelight Beelzemon's perspective]]. Although Alphamon seems to be cemented as valuing [[ToBeLawfulOrGood law over goodness]], this latest appearance paints him as being more firmly neutral.
* LargeHam: %%'''Lucemon''', and perhaps moreso Beelzemon.
** Gallantmon, but only when speaking YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe. The rest of the time, he's actually more of TheQuietOne, or at least normal.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: After stressing himself out and having a few BerserkButtons tread on, Magnamon goes ''[[UnstoppableRage apeshit]]'' and gives [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking Alphamon]] - someone he's ''never'' beaten before in training - a ''horrific'' beating, and comes within a hair of ''killing'' him before [[HeelRealization regaining]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone his senses]].

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The Royal Knights. The higher up in the chain of command, the more likely they are to kick your ass.

%%* AxeCrazy: Lucemon.

* ThePowerOfFriendship: Possibly [[{{Deconstruction}} Deconstructed]] somewhat. Beelzemon [[DiscussedTrope muses to himself about this]], trying to figure out how it works. Given that EvilCannotComprehendGood, he decides that TheHero being a genuine NiceGuy to his ''[[FriendlyEnemy freaking enemy]]'' in the midst of battle (at least in his own case) borders on UncannyValley, which creeps the villain out so much that it compromises their ability to fight.

* AxeCrazy: Lucemon.

* CrapsackWorld: Seems like it's shaping up to be one.

* {{Jerkass}}: Beelzemon, natch.
** JerkassWoobie: When you get inside his head, he seems to have a fair bit of this, too.

** KnightInSourArmor

* LargeHam: '''Lucemon''', and perhaps moreso Beelzemon.

* LightIsGood: Seraphimon and Ophanimon.

* LudicrousGibs: See CruelAndUnusualDeath above.
* NiceGuy: Gallantmon.

* TrapMaster: Lucemon.

* KnightTemplar: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with, using Alphamon]]. He's LawfulNeutral. Really, the only thing keeping him from being LawfulGood is that he becomes paranoid ''far'' too easily, and has no problem using JackBauerInterrogationTechnique on ''one of his own subordinates'' if they do something notably [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness out of character]]. In the chapter ''after'' that, though, upon recovering from said subordinate [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown utterly kicking his ass]], he staunchly ''refuses'' to name the mon who defeated him, and then logically explains that said mon isn't a security threat.
** In Chapter 4, he gets another appearance, although it's from [[ADayInTheLimelight Beelzemon's perspective]]. Although Alphamon seems to be cemented as valuing Law over Goodness, this latest appearance paints him as being more firmly LawfulNeutral.

** Also Belphemon Rage Mode, of a more bestial version of The ComicBook/IncredibleHulk.

** It's [[UpToEleven even worse than]] ''[[Anime/DigimonTamers Tamers]]''.

* LightningBruiser: Magnamon himself is one, but Alphamon takes it to a [[UpToEleven whole new extreme]] - his "Alpha [=InForce=]" is evidently some sort of [[TimeMaster time compression]], enabling his body to move ''faster than his own senses allow him to perceive''.

* BerserkButton: Magnamon appears to have a few minor ones, like being overly intrusive in his private business, stalking him, sneaking up on him, normal things. However, a ''major'' one is pushed ''hard'' when he encounters [[{{Mook}} Hemlock]] [[PunnyName the Woodmon]], a Digi-Egg trafficker, and [[LudicrousGibs gibs him]]. Bear in mind that in this world, that's the equivalent of [[AdultFear kidnapping children and then selling them to the highest bidder]].

* NotSoDifferent: Pretty much the theme of Beelzemon's HannibalLecture.

-->'''Beelzemon:''' (narrating) "Suddenly, it occurs to me that maybe [[JerkassWoobie we're both just fucked-up in the head and trying to deal with the world and our own neuroses as best we can]]."

* {{Adorkable}}: Gallantmon, when speaking with and thinking about Sakuyamon.
--> '''Gallantmon:''' (thinking to himself): This is my chance to get some points! Not that this is a game or anything, but [[BreakingTheFourthWall you understand what I mean, right?]]

** CrowningMomentOfFunny: What's more.... [[FacePalm Everyone falls for it]].
