Missing

0. Alien Hero: One or more heroes of this game are of extraterrestrial origin.

Extraterrestrial life is defined as life that does not originate from Earth. Also referred to as alien life, or simply aliens, these hypothetical forms of life range from simple bacteria-like organisms to sapient beings far more advanced than humans.
0. Alien Heroine: One of the heroines in this game is an extraterrestrial, a life form not originated from planet Earth.
0. Alien Protagonist: Protagonist of this game is an extraterrestrial, a life form not originated from planet Earth.
0. Elf Hero: One of the heroes is an elf.

In many works of modern fantasy, elves are depicted as a race of semi-divine humanoid beings who are friendly with nature and animals.

A hallmark of fantasy elves is also their long and pointed ears. The length and shape of these ears varies depending on the artist or medium in question. Elves tend to be immortal or longeval in comparison to humans, more beautiful and wiser, with sharper senses and perceptions, and abilities or crafts that seem alien or magical.

This tag does not refer to the tiny, little sprite kind of elf.

0. Foreigner: This character looks and acts like he/she is from a different country than the VN is set upon. For example if the VN was set in Japan, he/she'd be a gaijin.

Gaijin is a Japanese word meaning "non-Japanese", or "alien". This word is a short form of gaikokujin, which means "foreign country people".

This trait is intended to be used for characters that are clearly foreigners to the game's setting, according to the other characters from the game, but their country of origin is not revealed in any point, or just doesn't exists (anymore) in the real world. Making it not possible to use the other country traits but this.

Sometimes also used when referring to half-Japanese people, though not technically correct.
0. Heroine from a Different World: At least one or more heroines from this visual novel is from a different world or a different dimension than the world in which the visual novel takes place.

The idea of this tag is to find all those visual novels that have heroines which don't fit the setting of that particular visual novel. Examples include:

- Heroines who are time traveling from one time to the other;
- Heroines who traveled from one dimension to the other, independent of the time;
- Heroines who are coming from outer space and have somehow landed on Earth (space or interplanetary travel);
- Etc.

NOTE: Sometimes this tag can overlap with tags like Alien Heroine and similar. Use this tag in conjunction with others only when the heroine is confirmed to be from a different setting than that of the VN's own. If, for example, the VN takes place on Mars and the heroines are all aliens then this tag shouldn't be applied because heroines match their setting.
0. No Common Sense Heroine: This heroine is ignorant of the ways of the world.
Stuff that should be common knowledge, such as operating common household appliances, isn't in her brain.

The reason behind the ignorance is various. Common reasons include:
A rich ojousama raised in isolation.
An alien.
A time traveler from the past or future.
A person from another dimension.
etc.

Check the Wikipedia entry for experience for details.
0. No Eyes: This character has no eyes. They may have lost them, or their species may naturally have no eyes.

If a character is simply blind, use the Blindness trait instead. Note that having no eyes does not imply blindness (and vice versa). For example, the character can be an alien who sees through psychic methods.

If a character's eyes are just not drawn (possibly due to being covered by bangs or as part of the art style (common for protagonists)), and it's never stated or implied that the character has no eyes, use [url=/i116]Hidden[/url] instead.
0. Wire Weapon: This character uses a monomolecular wire.

Monomolecular wire is a fictional wire, often used as a weapon, consisting of single strand of strongly-bonded molecules, like carbon nanotubes. It has applications in cutting objects and severing adjacent molecules. A similar or identical concept may be called a microfilament wire or, as a weapon, a microfilament whip.

Example image

Monomolecular wires are seen in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, Cyber City Oedo 808, Hyperion Cantos, Robert J. Sawyer's Illegal Alien, the manga Battle Angel Alita, Naruto, Hellsing, My-Hime, Simon R. Green's Deathstalker series, as well as the roleplaying games Shadowrun, and Cyberpunk 2020.
