* AbstractEater: He can eat intangible concepts like memories and multiversal anomalies. Indeed, he seems to have picked Natsu as a Champion specifically to fatten him up on life experiences before consuming him.



* DisabledDeity: When we finally get to see Eta, he is not in a good way. He's gaunt and emaciated, he's missing both arms, and he is clearly not well mentally.

to:

* JediMindTrick: After interrogating Tau for Omega's location, he wipes Tau's memories of their conversation by saying "You will forget everything that has transpired, and believe you had a polite little chat with me.".
* LivingLieDetector: He can taste honesty like a snake tasting the air, so he can tell that Tau is being honest with him when the latter admits to having no idea where Omega's personal quarters are.
* {{Revenge}}: Once Eta regains his memories of his past and remembers how Omega perverted him into a world-destroying attack dog, he becomes fixated on killing Omega to get revenge.

* {{Determinator}}: Even for a god, Lambda ends up taking an extreme level of punishment during the final act. It _starts_ with all the flesh getting burned/abraded off his hands in ways that he cannot easily heal, and it only gets worse from there. The narration notes that anyone else in his position would have given up in face of the pain, and yet his soldiers on, determined to rescue his wife and ensure that they both live to see tomorrow.

* {{Determinator}}: Throughout the final act, Lambda suffers through a veritable cavalcade of grievous injuries that would easily have killed anyone else many times over, including--but by no means limited to--suffering horrific burns to his hands and getting a sizeable chunk of one arm shorn clean off; in spite of these wounds, however, he endures and keeps going, and ultimately it takes a direct hit from a WaveMotionGun to bring him down.

Added DiffLines:

* AwesomeButImpractical: Lambda's EyeBeams are extremely powerful and can potentially cripple beings as resilient as Unicron, a literal dark god in the form of a mechanical planet. However, they take a long time to charge up to that level of power, and using them this way leaves him drained for a long time afterward, meaning he can't bring his full strength to bear against any remaining enemies.
* BarrierWarrior: He makes liberal use of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion AT Fields]] in combat, both to shield himself, his allies, and/or his possessions from enemy attack, and to [[AttackReflector turn those very attacks back on their sources]].


Added DiffLines:

* EyeBeams: He can shoot devastating beams of silver energy from his eyes. At full power, they can wreak massive damage even to a being as vast and powerful as Unicron.
* {{Fingore}}: Lambda gets most of the flesh burned off his hands while fighting Unicron, either from his hands getting drenched by Unicron's acidic [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Angolmois_Energy Angolmois energies]] or from the friction burns caused by his own chains. He has no time to get these injuries treated properly and makes do with putting on a pair of special gauntlets to numb the pain while he goes to deal with other matters.

* BlasphemousBoast: While preparing to face Unicron, Lambda thinks to himself that the modifications he's made to the Chains of Judecca, the same chains that once held Lucifer prisoner in the deepest circle of Hell, have made them so resilient that not even God Himself could break free of them.


Added DiffLines:

* ChainPain: Lambda attacks Unicron using the Chains of Judecca, holy chains that were previously used to imprison the Devil in the universe of ''VideoGame/DantesInferno''. He uses one end of the chain to ensnare Unicron by a tusk and pull him off course, then uses the other end to whip and lash him, ripping deep chasms into the planet eater's surface.

He possesses the body of Dr. Ikari and projects silvery AT Fields to reflect Yaldabaoth's attacks, giving the Challengers a chance to finally destroy the deity's physical form without fear of retaliation.

They reveal the truth after Blink outed herself as Xi and Dis Baba revealed his own deceptions, thanking Natsu for reminding them of something other than endless hunger before vanishing into thin air.

%%* BitchInSheepsClothing

to:

%%* BitchInSheepsClothing* BitchInSheepsClothing: Omega comes off as a relatively genial Nomad in his first appearance, but his next appearance shows that this was all an act. Not only has he secretly been killing those Champions who went missing, but he plans to wipe out the other Nomads so he can be “the one”.



* NotSoSmallRole: Omega appeared once relatively early on in the game's life and then disappeared, being conspicuously absent from every scene involving the Nomads for hundreds of pages. Then he reappeared on page 803, in a post which revealed that he had secretly been killing off all the missing Champions to create a weapon that would subject his fellow Nomads to a fate worse than death.




to:

* WeNeedADistraction: He created the Game of Gods as a way to distract the other Nomads from his real intentions, knowing that they'd get so hooked on it that they wouldn't notice him slowly building a doomsday device under their noses.

Added DiffLines:

* MoralEventHorizon: In-universe, Digamma crossed it when he decided to torture Raz as punishment for committing suicide to get out of a challenge. He decapitates Raz but keeps him alive so the boy can watch as he telekinetically breaks every bone in his body, then forces him to undergo a PainfulTransformation into a malformed sack of meat. All the while the other Common Room Champions are telekinetically restrained and ForcedToWatch, with the Doctor being further restrained by being crucified with rusty metal stakes to keep him from interfering. When all this is done, Digamma drops Raz's still-living head atop his mangled body and just leaves him that way, while Tau mockingly nails a postit note to Raz's forehead stating that this is his fair and just punishment for breaking the Nomads' laws and that anyone who tries to help him will be punished in turn. When the other Champions return to the Common Room and see the state Raz is in, the ones who aren't pure evil are outraged and collectively vow to make the Nomads pay for torturing a child.

In particular, Upsilon is concerned that [[Franchise/TouhouProject Yukari Yakumo]] could do a lot of damage if she tried to get Yuuka back.

* NotSoOmniscientCouncilOfBickering: The Grecian Nomads are not of one mind on most subjects. As time went on, they got into heated arguments more and more frequently on such topics as what should be done about ECHIDNA, how specific challenges should unfold (and to what extent were they permitted to interfere with each other’s challenges), how much they should interact with the Champions, and whether or not they should be afraid of beings like the Tenth Doctor or the G-Man.

On a more immediate scale, he can impose {{Geas}}a on people.

A nice god, he is not.

Added DiffLines:

* OrderVersusChaos: Downplayed. He vouches for order and following rules and often butts heads with Sigma, who preaches chaos, but the two are never shown coming to blows over it.
* OutOfContinues: Invoked. He tells the Doctor that he removed his remaining regenerations and warns him to play things smart if he doesn't want to end up dead.
