Chao Island

This is the only place where you can find black guys and computer geeks in the same room together." —Riku, The Big Summary Topic special

Chao Island is a minorly known Sonic fansite that started out in 2000 and currently has about 20 active users. It can be found here.

Tropes used in Chao Island include:

• Abomination Accusation Attack: The Monochrome Legion, according to certain members they are Commie Nazis.
• Ambiguously Gay: To an extent, ShadouZaHejjihoggu and ChaoBreeder2440.
  • Wicca deserves his own line here.
    • Nothing's ambiguous about Wicca.
• And I Must Scream: How anyone could function in day to day life yet act like Rubs is still scary to think about.
• And Now for Someone Completely Different: Fusion becoming the new administrator, and to an extent, the new moderators from early 2009.
• And Now for Something Completely Different: The new redesigned sites from 2008 and 2009 respectively, and the upgrades from a standard Tripod site to PHPBB2 to PHPBB3.
• Badass: Many of the older members, most notably the site administrator himself, Mooncow, and members such as BUSHNAK, Triert, Enzo03, Moonstalker, RS_Chao, among many others.
• Badass Longcoat: Enzo03
• Big Damn Heroes: Disarming the bomb in the Fire Temple in the game which most of the time, you'll get to with less than a minute on the clock.
  • Riku upstanding Blade to Silver probably also counts.
• Big No: The reaction at first whenever JmTsHaW was promoted to moderator, averted when he turned out to be a lot better than some mods.
• Black and Gray Morality: Ever since The Monochrome Legion started, Triert has turned into a VERY dark shade of gray. Despite his Knight Templar actions, he really is trying to change the site for the better. The black comes in when you consider how awful the people he's against are.
• The Blank: Fusion and Xeno, and Riku whenever he tried to mock them.
• But Thou Must!: Certain users love to force new users to read the rules religiously. (And they know who they are)
  • Email verification, though that's a given on most sites.
  • New users just looooove to go away and return in the chat.
• Butt Monkey: Rubs, even after his banning.
  • And pretty much every "underage" user.
• Cerebus Syndrome: Triert's fanfic. Still getting darker by the minute.
• Cluster F-Bomb: Got Dama banned.
  • Dr. Will: "Mephiles was bored of ---- so he came here to do boring ---- because he was ----ing bored of being bored with ----."
  • wiccachao also tends to do this on tinychat, although sometimes it is mixed with a bit of Tourette's Shitcock Syndrome.
• Comedic Sociopathy: Tons in the chatbox.
• Crack Pairing: Who hasn't been shipped with someone on the site?
• Cute and Psycho: Rune the Koopa
• Dating Do-Si-Do: Oh god, it's ridiculous how much of this goes on here.
• Dark Fic: A lot of the RPs tend to veer into this, most of the time ultimately failing and coming off as fake melodramatics.
  • Chao Robot RP
  • The Dark Chronicles
  • Chao Garden Roleplaying
• Darker and Edgier: Ingeniously Lampshaded by Triert:
  • Triert: i was thinking they'd make a game where the chao blow eachothers heads off with ak 47s
• Distress Ball: Twi and Rain whenever they tried to get revenge on the mods.
  • Dangel in The Game
• Everything's Better with Platypi: Da Platypus Chao

    • The Evil Genius: Fox Boy
    • The Brute: SXU
    • The Dark Chick: Pastaa~Chao
    • Sixth Ranger: Triert

    • The Dark Chick SXU

• Getting Crap Past the Radar: DDDDDDDD
• Grammar Nazi: This has died down recently, but it used to be nearly every older member that had been around before 2009 or so.
• Grey and Gray Morality: Applys to members of the site. When arguments break out, expect this to be the only thing true about everyone.
• Heroic Sociopath: Rune in nearly every RP based on Chao Island.
  • Haunted V as well.
  • And Pastaa~Chao.
• Hyperspace Arsenal: Enzo.
• Jaywalking Will Ruin Your Life: Blade Genexis will kick people from the chatbox and give them a warning for telling another user "shut up."
  • Could also be a case of Very Disproportionate Retribution, especially considering how only three warnings can warrant a ban, and if saying shut up give you your third warning...
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Riku, sometimes Renae, Chao Ball, a lot of the older (in age and join date) qualify here in general.
• Jerkass: Again, older members qualify.
• Mind Screw: A lot of Retrolinkx's theory topics. Particularly "Ash's Coma".
• Mood Whiplash: Shadowrules in nearly every situation she was involved in.
• The Movie: Made by Riku, but his dad deleted it before he could upload it.
• Our Dragons Are Different: Rascal401's signature chao is the personifacation of this trope.
• Precision F-Strike: Twi's super rant.
• Rule 63: It became popular to make a gender flipped account after Flame made an account called Flema.
• Running Gag: Triert's shotgun.
  • Triert will usually compare Walt Disney World Europe to Hell when given the opportunity.
  • Not to mention another running gag: i an rubs
  • and i an his sister rebs
  • and i an his dad robs
  • and i an his mom rabs
  • and i an his grandpa ribs
  • and i an his dog rybs
  • and "shot"
  • Don't forget about "choa"
• Scary Black Man: Enzo.
• Stalker with a Crush: Banned user and non-stop Menstrual Menace named Shadowrules harassed Shadow Roamer with P Ms and chats for half a year, and constantly made alts.
  • However, at one point he got frustrated and in an act of I Did What I Had to Do he reported her for her final banning.
• Take That: Riku calling most of the Pokemon fanbase "rabid, screaming hyenas with no lives whatsoever."
  • Funny thing is, Riku likes Pokemon, at least Generation I and II and their respective remakes.
• Weapon of Choice: A lot of users have a weapon that they always use when Role Playing.
• What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?: The site is rated with a lenient PG-13.
• What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic: Seems like both of the new moderators from May 2010 had pin avatars at the time of their election. Let's just say it caught on. That got reaaally confusing.
• You Bastard: A topic was made for the sole purpose of crediting a 12-year-old Complete Monster spewing unfitting memes at a poor 6-year-old Butt Monkey on Skype.
