Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Alternate Character Interpretation - The different "history books" from which the timeline is made sometimes contradict slightly. Among the fans, Michael Hiedler in particular is either an Anti-Hero who has to shoot a lot of dogs or *Hitler. Literally.
Magnificent Bastard - *Napoleon, who goes by "Leo Bone, Royal Navy of Great Britain" and later "Napoleon Bonaparte, Prime Minister (and de facto ruler) of the Kingdom of France".
Also John-Spencer Churchill, who rallies Britain to repel the French invasion, then invades France right back, then proceeds to rebuild Britain whilst ruling it like a dictator. Frequently compared in-story to Napoleon, and vice-versa.
Moral Event Horizon - Lascelles galloped right over it. It is possible to cheer when he gets eaten. On the other hand, its possible to think Hiedler crossed it when he started eating people (possibly). And of cours there's the bit where Steampunk-Revolutionary-French-from-Hell-on-Crack troops not only turn Rome into a burning bloodbath of rape and pillage, but also quite deliberately murder the Pope.
This Is Your Premise on Drugs - The *French Revolution. "Steampunk Revolutionary France from Hell on Crack" has recently been admitted to AH.com's pantheon of arch-villains.
