List of Cliches in the Alphaverse Roleplay

Because the Alphaverse isn't immune to cliches, I've decided to list them here in my own unique way.

## Cliches

* **Crossover Conundrum:**Cerberus from the Mass Effect franchise, Ursula Chekhov from Echoes, even bits of Cody's plot. Also about 30% of everything in this roleplay is at least from another franchise.
* **Snap Crackle and Pop:** Cody and various other characters make use of lightning based abilities.
* **Evil Has Talent:**Ankou, and how he can effectivley play the piano during the climactic duel during him and Lance White.
* **Only Evil In the Ring:**Cody and Maelstrom have this type of relationship. Outside their usual fights, they're quite friendly.
* **Ignorance Is Bliss:** EVERYONE who has ever ignored an attack in the roleplay
* **Cut Content:**There were things from Cody's backstory that were taken out.
* **Walk Like You, Talk Like You:** Cody attempts to join the newly formed droid squadron by any means nessicary
* **Mindfuck Capital of the World:**The Infinity Palace
* **IMAAAAAGIIINAAAATION:**This entire roleplay.
* **Now That's What I Call Fucked Up!:**Ankou fits this cliche well, considering he *turns his enemies into furniture.*Also Taras, Maelstrom, the list goes on.
* **Evil On Ice:**Ankou, and how he uses the freezing agent ICEE-8
* **He Ruined My Dream Journal!:**At least everyone in this roleplay, considering how many fights break out in the Discord chat group. (And in the roleplay itself)
* **It's About Time, It's About Space:**Time travel exists in this roleplay.
* **Power of Evil, ACTIVATE!:**Bad guys are instantly amped up to 11 regardless of the situation.
* **Is He a Weeaboo?:** Subverted, considering at least two of the characters are actually from Japan.
* **Half the Man I Used to Be:**Cody, and how he was turned into a cyborg.
* **Sex Sells:**Jenny's band, Beatle the Meatle.
* **Let's Rewrite That:**Jason refusing to let his arm get cut off during Saul's hard mode mission. And maybe some other stuff I forgot.
* **Rebel Scum:**Victor and Nixon.
* **Fire On That Cruiser:** Cody goes absolutely ape shit and launches everything at the Normandy in an effort to blow it out of space.
* **A Sight For Sore "Eye":** Lance White was left with one eye.
* **Post Mortem Prank:**
* One Shot Please!: Since Brian Is An Alien He Dose´nt Get Drunk Easily.

*"WHY?!!! EVERY TIME!!!"*
—Ankou
Ankou, when trying to re-program a Bludroid into becoming a Taken soldier after Lance's death, was met with a recorded message rendering his efforts futile.

* **Take an Advil:** Everyone has been injured at least once.
* **Child at Heart:** Can also coincide with Nerd at Heart. Applies to Cody, considering his love for the book series "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and "Magic Tree House"
* **Supreme Leader Whatshisname:** Cody as the Director of the EPF and Lance as the leader of the Rebels
* **Unexpected Guest Star:** Bill Cipher, while rendered non-canon, still fits into this cliche.
* **Gotta Go Fast:** Cody and Douglas State are primary examples of this cliche, due to their abilities of going at high speeds.
* **Do It At All Costs:**

*"Do what must be done. Do not hesitate, show no mercy. Only then will you be strong enough in the dark side to save Padme..."*
—Darth Sidious to Anakin, "Star Wars"
Ankou pretty much unleashes his squad to kidnap Cody, even at risk of their capture or death.

* **Sing, Not The Movie but the Actual Act of Singing:** Jenny Nakamura.
* **Nerd At Heart:** Cody Nakamura, since he can pretty much be considered the world's smartest man at this point.
* **Suspicious Liquid:** At first, ICEE-8's mysterious capabilities were unknown, blending in with Earth's natural ability to create snow.
* **Older Than Dirt:**

*"Well I looked it up, it says 1992. That thing's older than the Fresh Prince of Bel Air!"*
—Sam, "iCarly"
Ankou, considering how he was born **before the universe's creation**

* **Ace Attorney:** Cody Nakamura, and how he was appointed the team's lawyer.
* **Big Evil Speech:**

*"You could've ruled right alongside us. But instead you chose to defy me! And, for what? To sacrifice yourselves for a world of ungrateful humans that WON'T EVEN ACCEPT YOU."*
—Victor Krane, "Lab Rats"
Ankou gives one right before Lance finishes him off.

* **Reference Rebuttal:** Ankou singing "Your Reality", Cody's various jokes (example: his "Sayori cosplay", Tide Pods, Hotel Mario), ect. In fact, a few of the cliches are references in their own way.
* **Big Fucking Army:** Everyone, especially those who sit out there and can't fight because 3 whole people out of the entire group went to fight by themselves. And anymore would be unfair
* **Death Star:** At least one villain has made a city-buster/mass destruction weapon. Which ends up destroyed by day's end.
* **Les Yay:** It's heavily implied Jenny and her bandmates are lesbians. Taken up to 11 when it's considered that their band uses rather suggestive ideals to get themselves on the market.
* **Awesome Music:** Some of the selected themes for the characters are true earworms.
* **Broken Base:** You either like Cody or you don't. And some of his friends.
* **Bizzaro Episode:** You could consider the alternative Earth missions these.
* **Alternative Character Interpretation:** Especially with some of the EPF agents from the canon Club Penguin universe.
* **Ass Pull:** And lots of it.
* **Designated Hero:** The Rebels, naturally.

* **Moral Event Horizon:** There are MANY examples of this, but some notable ones include Ankou freezing everything Cody loved, and even going as far as to *shatter the frozen bodies of Cody's family.* Of course, it's all resolved in the end.
* **Put it On a Bus:** Many characters never really saw the light of day after several months.
* **Signature Scene:** The EPF Command Room is one of the primary hot spots for the Rebels. So is the Coffee Shop and Pizza Parlor.
* **Squick:** Some of the injuries sustained aren't really that pleasant to look at.
