History Characters / CodexEquusAureusidae

* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: All of the Terran Princes are Alicorn demigods, and thus are ranked just below their father. They are also incredibly powerful and competent warriors and military/political leaders, though it's mentioned in their entries that much of their combat experiences came from their [[WalkingTheEarth globe-trotting]]. This also applies to their adoptive siblings and in-laws, many who are deities themselves and/or are leaders of their own pantheons. This is justified as deities in the Codexverse get "older" by becoming more eldritch and StrongerWithAge, though things like DivineParentage also factor into how strong a deity (or demi-deity) is.
* BadassFamily: All of the Terran Princes and their adoptive/biological family members, descendants, and in-laws are part of a ''huge'' family containing either demigods or full gods. Even the mortal members are no less capable, with the most notable example being Queen Majesty, a legendary heroine and "[[BrokeTheRatingScale Mage Magnificent]]" beyond compare.

* MeaningfulName: "Aureusidae" is a combination of "aureus", which means "gold/golden" in Latin, and the "-idae" suffix, which denotes offspring. It not only refers to the Terran Princes, the biological sons of [[PhysicalGod Emperor Golden Scepter]], but also any member who was adopted by either Golden Scepter or the Terran Princes themselves. The name is also similar to [[spoiler:Golden Scepter's former Alicorn name, Auriolus Scaeptrum, which he threw away following his awakening from stasis in the Second Age]].

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Outside the Terran Princes, many Aureusidae members who were originally unrelated in their respective source materials (such as [[Myth/SlavicMythology Belyolen and Temnobog]] and [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} Naur and Naneth]]) end up becoming adoptive siblings after Golden Scepter took them in. The same thing could also be said for many of the Terran Princes' own children, who became cousins after being adopted by their respective fathers.

* ForWantOfANail: If he had not been [[WalkingTheEarth globe-trotting]] when it happened, he would have been killed or [[FateWorseThanDeath worse]] during [[MadGod Discord]]'s takeover of Equestria, as well as the destruction of the Old Equestiran Pantheon.

* CompositeCharacter: She's one for both Peachy and Adam. Like Peachy and Adan, she's created by a god as the first of her kind, though in her case she's the first sapient Earth Pony, making her the progenitor of the modern Earth Pony tribe. And like Adam, she got together with a mate of an opposite gender (in her case, it's Chestnut, the first Earth Pony stallion) and made the mistake of eating a specific fruit that her divine creator warned her not to eat. The [[ForWantOfANail difference]] is that she honestly confessed her mistake and took responsibility, whereas Adam immediately went NeverMyFault when confronted on his actions and ultimately doomed humanity to sin and death.

* ForWantOfANail: Both she and Chestnut chose to honestly confess their mistake of eating the forbidden fruit when confronted by Golden Scepter, which ultimately rewarded them with divine immortality as the serpent (in reality a disguised Morning Star) had promised them. This is in stark contrast to [[Literature/TheBible Adam and Eve]], who chose to go NeverMyFault when confronted by God and were doomed (and therefore dooming all of humanity) to sin and death.

* ForWantOfANail: In one future [[{{Seers}} foreseen]] by Golden Scepter and Prince Night Shade, she became a demonic sword after Silver Bane transformed into a hateful, self-loathing vampiric monster. Fortunately, Night Shade's efforts in saving and redeeming Silver Bane prevented that future from occurring, leaving Mercy uncorrupted by the time she was transferred into the Terran royal family's care. It's noted that this became proof of Mercy's potential in Golden Scepter's eyes, as she could become a great weapon of "true" Justice and benevolence instead of a tool to smite everything deemed "dark" and "evil" as the Poenans had intended.

* ForWantOfANail: He probably wouldn't have been found among the wreckage of the 'Exosus Conflict' and adopted by Steel Barricade if the latter hadn't developed [[TheEmpath technological empathy]] at all.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: She and her sisters focused so much on enjoying their wealth to avoid the pain their mother's death caused them to not only become egotistical {{Royal Brat}}s, but their power and skill to atrophy ''severely'' from their negligence, leaving them unable to fight Lavan when he came for the Wands.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: During her adoptive family's meeting with the [[MagicalGirlWarrior Dazzling Divas]], she would befriend Miracle Hymn and wander off with her to go play, causing both the Terran royal family and the Divas to panic over their disappearances. Even though both were fine and powerful enough to [[CurbStompBattle easily defeat a demon]] that tried attacking them, they're still kids who wandered off unsupervised. Once they were found by Sonic Song, Prince Red Blade, and Prince Steel Barricade, Mercy was scolded by Red Blade for her actions.

* LegendFadesToMyth: In the actual GardenOfEden story, both Peachy and Chestnut passed the SecretTestOfCharacter Golden Scepter gave to see if they are ready for the outside world and eventually be given immortality and godhood like Golden Scepter and the rest of the Alicorns, assuming responsibility for their own actions rather than denying and lying about it. Unfortunately, this got distorted over the ages due to being confused with similar stories or deliberate alteration by unscrupulous parties, until we got the 'canon' version widely propagated in the Magnean Religions of the 'Second Age' where they failed the test completely. Both Peachy/Rhodonite Mirror and Golden Scepter are ''not'' happy about it as they want Ponies to remember the actual version and be inspired to grow their potential, think for themselves and honestly accept responsibility for their own actions, rather than the distorted version used by elites and demagogues to stifle and exploit mortal potential by encouraging dogmatic faith and unthinking fanaticism of their followers and subjects through the doctrine of 'Original Sin', where all Ponies are born inheriting Peachy and Chestnut's 'Sin' and must 'atone' for their ancestors' transgression through unquestioned obedience/devotion.

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: While his reasons for joining the Abominable Alignment are sympathetic, they in no way justify his actions as one of Dr. Herculean Shadow's enforcers. Prince Red Blade understands his rage over his mistreatment as he himself was bullied as a colt (and witnessed others suffer the same), but points out that in the process, he became a bigot who was willing to oppress non-psykers for lacking PsychicPowers, repeating the very circumstances that made him join Herculean Shadow in the first place. This in part causes him to pull a HeelFaceTurn and kill Herculean Shadow.

* HasTwoMommies: Gender-inverted. Despite being a demi-Alicorn stallion, Bright Eyes is technically his "mother". This is because a Count Dracolt cursed him with vampirism pre-Ascension, and while trying to suppress his curse, Bright Eyes ended up spawning a sapient, infant being in his dream world. He would not be discovered until Bright Eyes revealed to Golden Scepter his dreams about becoming a parent to a Bat pony, which leads to Golden Scepter entering Bright Eyes' mind (with his permission) and finding the baby.

* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Maybe. She is a twin sister of Blue Diadem, though it's not yet known if they're identical or fraternal.

** Albatrosses, which represent death and (mis)fortune. An albatross is often interpreted as an omen that predicts someone's death, and to kill one is to ensure the doom/death of a ship's entire crew. Alternatively, the metaphor of having an albatross tied to one's neck represents a psychological burden. As a Griffon, his upper half is an albatross, and he was made the target of severe racism by Autorist Griffons once his PsychicPowers emerged that eventually pushed him to join the Abominable Alignment as one of Dr. Herculean's primary enforcers. Fortunately, things finally turn up for him when he meets Prince Red Blade of the Terran Princes, who helps him pull a HeelFaceTurn.

* MakeMeWannaShout: Much like Flurry Heart, when she cried shortly after birth, it [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/830919076/4817925274 shattered every window in the medical wing]] due to her being a baby demigoddess.
--> '''Princess Amicitia Sparkle Equestria:''' So, did somepony remember to-\\
'''Princess Baby Applejack:''' ''(crying)'' WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH-!\\
'''Princess Amicitia Sparkle Equestria:''' ...reinforce the windows of the medical wing?\\
'''Prince Clear Voice:''' ...I knew we forgot something.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: While he later proved himself to be a powerful wizard, it still took years of hard training under Starswirl for him to reach that level because he was constantly denied proper magic instruction by his prideful, racist, and stubborn instructors.

* WalkingTheEarth: After Ascending to true godhood under Golden Scepter's tutelage, he traveled the world, learning whatever he could while helping others break their own limits and humbling those who became excessively proud. His globe-trotting is noted to have saved him from both Discord's takeover of Equestria and the destruction of the Old Equestrian Pantheon, as he was out of the country when it happened.

* AdoptedIntoRoyalty: With her mother dead and her biological father arrested and imprisoned for his crimes, with no other relatives/caretakers left to look after her (her uncle was murdered, and so was her maid and tutor), she ended up being adopted by Prince Bright Eyes, [[PhysicalGod Golden Scepter]]'s ninth son. This along with Mercy would make her a Terran Princess by default. [[spoiler:However, it's revealed that she's a [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/836839462/4836304966 distant descendant of Second Age superheroine Queen Rosy]], who was a member of the Age's Power Rangers in life, automatically making her a member of the Isle of Pony's royal family even though she was unaware of it]].

* BigEater: Deconstructed in one incident. When she learned she can finally eat ice cream, she ended up eating too much in her rush to enjoy it, and consequently got a stomachache.

* CommonalityConnection:
** She ended up befriending [[Music/StevieRayVaughan Moon Ray Vaughoof]] because of their shared expriences with being abused by their own fathers. Moon Ray [[LikeASonToMe treats her like his own daughter]].
** She met and befriended Rose Regalia, an ancient Alicorn goddess, on account of both of them having parents who sexually abused them, even though said parents were of different genders in each of their cases.
** She befriended Miracle Hymn over [[BondingOverMissingParents their shared experiences in having loved ones murdered in front of them]]. Miracle Hymn even gave her a hug for it.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's an eccentric, flamboyant god who is fond of wearing pink, which came from having an equally eccentric mentor in the Starswirl of his time. However, his beliefs in stopping racism and excessive pride are genuine, and he wants to help people break their own limits so they can become better and greater than they were before.

* RealMenWearPink: He originally wore wizard robes in emulation of one of the Starswirls, who was his mentor, but has since changed them to pink, sparkling robes to fit his own preferences more. This is because he finds pink to be his favorite color and he doesn't care about any preconceptions others might have about his choice in color.

* TheVillainSucksSong: He would deliver a scathing one to the instructor who cruelly humiliated him for being a 'half-dirt' Unicorn after defeating him in a magical duel. This exposed said instructor as the prideful, cruel, '[[WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar second-rate]]' bigot he really was.

* MeaningfulName: "Aureusidae" is a combination of "aureus", which means "gold/golden" in Latin, and the "-idae" suffix, which denotes offspring. It not only refers to the Terran Princes, the biological sons of [[PhysicalGod Emperor Golden Scepter]], but also any member who was adopted by either Golden Scepter or the Terran Princes themselves. The name is also similar to [[spoiler:Golden Scepter's former Alicorn name, Auriolus Scaeptrum, which he threw away following his reawakening]].

* GenerationalMagicDecline: Due to racist/tribalist beliefs being common at the time, it's believed that him being a Unicorn with half-Earth Pony genes made his innate magic 'weaker', which made him inferior in the eyes of many 'pureblooded' Unicorns. However, it's averted since it's not his heritage that made his magic weak -- it was the actions of the prideful and racist Unicorns who denied him proper magic instruction out of disgust towards his mere existence. Once he becomes a student of one of the Starswirls, he proves himself to be an equally powerful and skilled wizard, allowing him to utterly humiliate both his instructors and classmates in magic duels for discriminating against him in the past.

* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Inverted. It's implied he outlived his mortal parents after he became an Alicorn, which is why he accepted when Golden Scepter, after adopting several other deities in the the Terran Royal Family over the years, offered to become his adoptive father.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: His TheVillainSucksSong is essentially one long scathing speech that he gives to the Unicorn instructor who cruelly humiliated him in front of his class for being '[[FantasticSlurs half-dirt]]', calling the instructor 'second-rate' for believing in the same bigoted teachings that attracted the Windigoes. After Ascending to godhood, he would travel the world, delivering humiliating speeches to excessively proud individuals in the form of song.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After he was utterly humiliated in front of his class by a particularly cruel, bigoted, and elitist instructor, he was understandably and sorely tempted to pack his bags and leave entirely. Fortunately, he ended up meating one of the Starswirls, who took him in as his student and trained him until he became an exceptionally powerful mage.

* WalkingTheEarth: After Ascending to true godhood under Golden Scepter's tutelage, he would travel the world, learning whatever he could while helping others break their own limits and humbling those who became excessively proud. It's noted that his globe-trotting save him from Discord's takeover of Equestria and the destruction of the Old Equestrian Pantheon, as he was out of the country when it happened.
* WeakButSkilled: As a god of Wizardry, he's a powerful magic user, but he's far better in conserving mana and using his abilities in creative ways. This makes him more 'skilled' than most Magic and/or Sorcery deities, at the cost of being somewhat weaker than them in terms of raw power.

* AdoptedIntoRoyalty: He would become a Terran Prince by adoption after accepting Golden Scepter's offer to adopt him as his son. It's implied that he ended up outliving his birth parents when he became an Alicorn.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's rather eccentric and flamboyant, which is thanks to possessing an equally eccentric mentor in his mortal youth, and often sings songs while humbling arrogant people. He also ''hates'' excessive pride and all types of discrimination, having been frequently mistreated by racist, elitist Unicorns for being an Earthpony/Unicorn hybrid.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Of all his adoptive royal Terran siblings, he would get along with Prince Crimson Star the most. This is due to Crimson Star possessing a scholarly nature, transcending the limitations of his blindness, and humbling himself after realizing that being an InsufferableGenius is wrong.

** After finally receiving proper instruction in wizardry by his mentor, one of the Starswirls, he would participate in magic duels where he overpowered and defeated all of his old instructors and classmates who discriminated against him. In particular, he would utterly humiliate the one instructor who cruelly humiliated him previously by systemically dismantling all of his spells while giving him a stinging TheVillainSucksSong, exposing the older Unicorn as the prideful and bigoted person he really was. To further the humiliation, this was done in front of the royals who attended a meeting between the three Pony tribes.
** After becoming a student of Golden Scepter, he would Ascend as the Alicorn god of ''Humbling''. He has PsychicPowers that allow him to sense hubris in people and analyze the best way to shatter their bloated egos in order to make them see how their pride is unfounded. This makes him skilled in psychological warfar, making him a rather terrifying foe to face. His domain also allows him to feed off of people's hubris to become stronger and turn their own egos back on them.
* CurbStompBattle: After years of training under Starswirl, he would confront all of his former teachers and classmates during a meeting between the royals of the three Pony Tribes and defeat all of them, proving their beliefs about hybrids being magically 'inferior' wrong. In particular, he would humiliate the same Unicorn instructor who cruelly humiliated him years before, defeating him ''and'' singing a TheVillainSucksSong while doing it.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: He originally was a mortal Earthpony/Unicorn hybrid who was viciously mistreated and discriminated against by 'pure' Unicorns, who thought his heritage made him 'inferior' and magically 'weaker'. However, after training/proving himself to be a powerful mage under Starswirl's tutelage, he would be discovered and taken in as a student by Golden Scepter, who helped him Ascend first to [[SemiDivine demi-godhood]], then true godhood.
* FantasticSlurs: He was frequently called a 'half-dirt' Unicorn by racist, elitist 'pure-blooded' Unicorns for being an Earthpony/Unicorn hybrid when he was younger. [[FreudianExcuse It led to him developing hatred towards all types of discrimination]].
* FromZeroToHero: In his mortal youth, he was a Unicorn with half-Earth Pony heritage who was mercilessly and cruelly discriminated against by 'pure' Unicorns for existing, and was strongly discouraged from learning magic under the assumption that his mixed blood made his magic weak and therefore inferior. However, thanks to one of the Starswrils, he would become a wizard strong enough to completely wipe the floor with other 'pure' Unicorn mages after years of hard work. Becoming Golden Scepter's student later led to him Ascended to godhood as an Alicorn who specialized in helping people break past limits and [[BreakTheHaughty humbling]] arrogant {{Jerkass}}es.

* HalfBreedDiscrimination: Because interracial relationships between Pony tribes were still frowned upon at the time, he was frequently tormented and discriminated against for being a '[[FantasticSlurs half-dirt]]' Unicorn (i.e. a Unicorn with Earth Pony genes). This included being denied proper magical instruction and other opportunities to improve his station by his stubborn, elitist, and bigoted instructors. When one instructor utterly humiliated him by reading his paper to his entire class, mocking it while doing so, and then burning it with a fire spell, he was understandably tempted to leave entirely. Fortunately, he gained two mentors in Starswirl, who turned out to be much more tolerant and accepting, if very eccentric, and Golden Scepter, who was interested in his efforts to unite Ponykind and was responsible for ensuring his Ascension.
* HappilyAdopted: He would be adopted by Golden Scepter as a Terran Prince, after Golden Scepter went through more CharacterDevelopment and adopted several other deities until his family.
* ItsPersonal: His hatred of all types of discrimination, such as racism and elitism led to him taking a personal stake in the 'Terra-Equus Continental Wars, which saw the participation of many Tribalists, Autorists, and corrupt nobility.

* TheMagnificent: Known as "the Unbound Sorcerer".

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: All of the Terran Princes are Alicorn demigods, and thus are ranked just below their father. They are also incredibly powerful and competent warriors and military/political leaders, though it's mentioned in their entries that much of their combat experiences came from their [[WalkingTheEarth globe-trotting]]. This also applies to their adoptive siblings and in-laws, many who are deities themselves and/or are leaders of their own pantheons.

* CheerfulChild: As a filly, the first thing she did upon meeting Golden Scepter for the first time was boop his nose and giggle.

* {{Expy}}: Of Peachy, the first Pony ever created and marketed in the ''"My Pretty Pony"'' toyline, which predates the ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' franchise. She's also a gender-inverted Expy for Adam, the first Human from ''Literature/BookOfGenesis'', being the first Pony ever created and experiencing a similar (but also divergent) 'GardenOfEden' story like Adam, along with her Eve the stallion Chestnut.
* {{Forgiveness}}: She was forgiven by Golden Scepter for eating the Fruit of Knowledge (having accepted responsibility for breaking his one rule and explaining why she did it), and forgave her adoptive father in turn for his dark turn during the Imperium Era.
* GardenOfEden: In their early youth, she and her mate Chestnut lived in a 'Garden' created by Golden Scepter and his triplet brothers to nurture and develop the sapience of early Ponykind. However, when they disobeyed Golden Scepter's rules and ate the Fruit of Knowledge upon being tempted by a disguised Morning Star, they were [[YouCantGoHomeAgain barred from living in the Garden]]... but were also simultaneously [[KarmicJackpot rewarded]] with [[DeityOfHumanOrigin godhood]] by Golden Scepter himself for their willingness to own up to their mistake. Unfortunately, the story of the eventbecame confused and distorted over the Ages, instead leaving the readers with the 'Second Age' version where they fail the test completely.
* KindheartedCatLover: Like in canon, she owned a pet cat named Twinkles. However, Twinkles is more accurately a prehistoric Felid, since cats as a species had not evolved yet.

* MagicMirror: As a goddess of Mirrors, she possesses mirror magic, and thus could do things like turn her own body into a reflective surface to redirect energy or light attacks, travel and communicate through reflective surfaces at will, and send her attacks and limbs through mirrored surfaces to attack others as well as create reflection duplicates. When combined with her domain of Conscience, she can use reflective surfaces to reflect certain deeds that someone is guilty for, and force them to confront said deeds. In her mortal youth, she also owned a sapient mirror, which may have factored into her domain of Mirrors, and is a huge reason why Golden Scepter is very accepting of having a sapient sword like Mercy as his granddaughter.
--> '''Emperor Golden Scepter:''' ''(on Peachy and her magic mirror)'' And this is why having a sapient sword for a granddaughter did not surprise me.

* AMistakeIsBorn: She, along with Chestnut, would be seen as a 'mistake' by Morning Star, who saw Golden Scepter's creations as flawed abominations that must be destroyed to preserve the concept of perfection. He even tried sabotaging Golden Scepter's SecretTestOfCharacter by tempting Chestnut just to prove his point. During the 'Twilight of the Alicorns' event, after becoming a Fallen god, Morning Star succeeded in critically injuring her while she was protecting a group of Pony civilians, and she was only saved from dying because [[PapaWolf Golden Scepter]] reached her in time.

* TakingTheHeat: When she and Chestnut were confronted by Golden Scepter over eating the forbidden fruit, she tried pinning the blame on herself so she could protect Chestnut from retribution... only for Chestnut to try do the same thing for similar reasons as he was the first to eat the forbidden fruit in the first place. It turns out the situation was part of a SecretTestOfCharacter Golden Scepter set up to test their morality, which they passed by admitting their wrong doing despite Morning Star's attempt to sabotage it.
* TimeAbyss: As the first sapient Earthpony mare and first Alicorn goddess, she's incredibly ancient and thus comes off as alien because of it. However, she's much younger than her 'father', Golden Scepter.

Princess Veritas, born Applejack V (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-29-824821627 here]]) is the Alicorn demi-goddess of Honesty, Truth, and Family, and a renowned Equestrian heroine who eventually became the beloved wife of a Terran Prince.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In canon, she's a simple apple farmer who managed to become a Bearer of Honesty and an Equestrian heroine. Here, she eventually became an Alicorn demigoddess after a combination of training under Amour-De-Soi, marrying a demi-Alicorn Prince, and exposure to Primordial Quintessence from various other deities and demi-deities, all which reached its peak when she confronted the Poenan goddess Lamperielpida.
* AdaptationalSexuality: A [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/824821627/4931665076 Codexverse drabble]] reveals that she's [[SingleTargetSexuality demisexual]], with her admitting to Fluttercruel/Odyne that she never felt romantically or sexually attracted to anyone until she met Prince Clear Voice, who would become her husband. In canon, Applejack never showed these traits, and was implied in the Season 9 finale "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E26TheLastProblem The Last Problem]]" to have gotten in a lesbian relationship with Rainbow Dash in the future.
* AdaptationalWealth: In canon, she's a simple apple farmer, though her family's cider is well-known in Ponyville. Here, she's a Terran Princess by virtue of marrying Prince Clear Voice, Golden Scepter's sixth-born son; while she's extremely wealthy because of it, she refuses to use her divine abilities for her own benefit, only empowering both herself and her family so they can all perform their duties better.
* AmazonianBeauty: She's very muscular due to a life of working at Sweet Apple Acres and fighting various threats to Equestria, but despite this, she remains fairly attractive. This became more apparent following her Ascension to demi-godhood.
* AnimalisticAbomination: Unlike her husband, Prince Clear Voice, and her demi-divine in-laws within the Terran Royal Family, she's relatively more eldritch in comparison and, due to her belief on Honesty, far more willing to show off her true Alicorn form, like the Musical Pony's chest gem and the Sea Pony's aquatic gills/tail. She also has one large eye concealed on the underside of her wings, the left eye being "Cruel Truth" and the right eye being "Kind Truth", something that no other Alicorn has. Being a demigoddess of Honesty and Truth, Applejack/Veritas doesn't see any reason to not show everyone the full scope of what she is.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's a Terran/Equestrian Alicorn demigoddess who embodies Honesty, Truth, and Family.
* BadassTeacher: She's a famed Equestrian heroine, the (now former) Bearer of Honesty, and a royal Alicorn demigoddess who's married to a Terran Prince. One of the things she did after the School of Friendship's public introduction was become a teacher there.
* BadLiar: On top of [[WillNotTellALie not willing to tell one]] as a matter of principle, she is also an abysmal liar who could not deceive others even if her life depends on it.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Gender-inverted; after learning that Grey Hoof and his followers tried to kill Apple Bloom, she vowed to "applebuck" him seven ways across Equus if he came after her younger sister again. She repeatedly shook Mitta's hoof out of gratitude after learning the latter saved Apple Bloom.
--> '''[[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/824821627/4849533428 Applejack V]]:''' If that shamblin' pile of horseapples tries goin' after my sister again, I'm gonna applebuck 'im seven ways across the darn planet!
* BigEater: She had an "appetite of a grown stallion" as a ''baby'', and well ''before'' she Ascended to demi-godhood. Highlights include once managing to eat ''three'' giant-sized pies made by his Equestrian Giant relative Big Apple during an Apple Family Reunion. She passed on this trait to her daughter, Princess Baby Applejack, much to the astonishment of her husband, Prince Clear Voice, when it emerged during a banquet.
--> '''[[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/824821627/4941568286 Big Apple:]]''' If she was one 'o us, ''SHE'LL EAT THE WHOLE PLANET.''
* BirdsOfAFeather: What led to her and Clear Voice befriending and, later, falling in love with each other. They both shared many traits such as BrutalHonesty, a good work ethic, and dedication/loyalty to their families, as well as a stubborn pride that made them butt heads at times.
* TheChosenOne:
** She and the rest of the Mane Six were chosen to wield the Elements of Harmony due to having specific qualities that resonated with each Element. In her case, her Element was Honesty, being willing to show/tell people the truth even when it hurts.
** Sometime after [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 defeating the Storm King]], she and the Mane Six would be chosen by the Tree of Harmony to go on missions to aid others, both within Equestria and beyond the country's borders. This would lead to events like [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E11PartyPooped bringing the Yaks out of isolation]] and bringing the Hippogriffs/Sea Ponies back to the surface.
* CoolUncle: Gender-inverted. After marrying Prince Clear Voice and becoming part of the Terran royal family, she became a loving aunt towards Mercy and other young children who were adopted/sired by Clear Voice's older/younger brothers.
* {{Determinator}}: Her entry notes she's known for being extremely stubborn. This can be detrimental at times, such as turning her work ethic into {{Workaholic}} tendencies, or refusing to believe that her way of doing things might not actually be the best way.
* EternalLove: What her marriage to Clear Voice later evolved to. At first, due to her being mortal at the time, Clear Voice feared he'll eventually outlive her, making their relationship a MayflyDecemberRomance. However, she would help Clear Voice overcome his fears, and later on she would Ascend to demi-godhood thanks to training under Amour-De-Soi, being exposed to a lot of Primordial Quintessence from other (demi-)divine beings, and fighting off the [[KnightTemplar Poenan Pantheon]].
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: After Ascending to demi-godhood and becoming an Alicorn, she gained two eyes on the undersides of her wings, one on each wing. Both eyes are part of her domain of Truth -- the right eye, "Kind Truth" is described as being kind and loving, and has the ability to make people see comforting, encouraging truths about themselves when they gaze into it. The left eye, "Cruel Truth", is described as being draconic and fierce, and has the ability to make people see harsh, negative truths about themselves when they gaze into it. Both eyes become nearly invisible when closed, and when both are open, gazing upon them allows people to bear witness to the "Balanced Truth".
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She has a light yellow mane and tail, and she's a renowned Equestrian heroine who's part of the '[[AmazonBrigade Mane Six]]'. This hasn't changed for her at all after Ascending to demi-godhood.
* HappilyMarried: She eventually marries Prince Clear Voice of the Terran Empire, even having several children (including Princess Baby Applejack) together. This may be surprising to some, due to Clear Voice being [[MayDecemberRomance far older than Applejack]] and coming from a royal background, unlike her... until one considers the fact that they are [[BirdsOfAFeather both very much alike]], being dutiful, reliable, honest and stubborn to a fault as well as sharing many similar beliefs. Their relationship evolved to EternalLove once she Ascends to demi-godhood, allowing her to be with her husband and quelling his fears of [[WhoWantsToLiveForever outliving her]].
* HeroicLineage: She's descended from the original Applejack and her line, Perfect Kingdom/Robot Rider of the Four Riders, and Second Age heroes Saint Sweetheart and her husband, Teddy. The original Applejack in particular is speculated InUniverse to have been the same heroine who allied herself with and aided Queen Majesty, Emperor Golden Scepter's adoptive daughter and biological descendant.
* HolyHandGrenade: She possesses a natural affinity for [[WhiteMagic holy magic]] due to being a Fourth Age descendant of Sweetheart, a legendary heroine from the Second Age. However, she didn't use it for much of her life until she started dating Clear Voice, after which she became ThePaladin upon combining her holy magic with her physical abilities.
* HumbleHero: Despite her fairly recent transformation into a demi-Alicorn goddess and the power/status upgrades that came with it, she merely saw the boons as merely new and better ways to uphold her existing duties to the farm and new duties in both the Equestrian Principalities and the Terran Empire. She even refuses to use the new abilities and strength from her newfound demi-divinity to make Apple-harvesting easier for herself (although she did use her powers to buff her family and massively heighten their stamina).
* MamaBear: She loves her immediate family, extended relatives, and in-laws, and is extremely proud of them all. This means that she is enraged with those who try harming any one of the above, as an assassin who tried killing her husband, Prince Clear Voice, learned the hard way.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: She was still a mortal mare at the time when she hooked up with and eventually married the immortal Clear Voice, causing the Terran Prince to fear the possibility of losing her like he lost his mortal mother, Blessed Skies. She would help Clear Voice get over his fears, though, and her Ascension to demi-godhood as Princess Veritas proved his fears to be unfounded.
* MistakenForGay: Her intense yet close friendship/rivalry with Rainbow Dash/Princess Fidelitas is interpreted by some InUniverse adaptations as a lesbian relationship. In real life, their relationship remained strictly platonic, though she admits she can understand why some people might see it that way.
* ModestRoyalty: After Ascending to demi-godhood and becoming an Alicorn, she starts wearing royal barding made of bronze with a very minimalist design. She also refuses to wear a crown, only opting to wear a regal-looking hat that Rarity made for her whenever she needs to dress formally. Her choice of regalia reflects her honest, reliable, and dutiful character.
* {{Mutants}}: She's described here as an Earthpony mare with a "Happy Tail" mutation, which is actually very common in equine species. This is how she can wield her [[KnowsTheRopes lassos]], both mundane and divine versions.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After losing her parents, Bright Mac and Buttercup (nee Pear Butter), to a tragic incident, she would run away from Sweet Apple Acres and move to Manehattan to live with her wealthy relatives, the Orange family. But after witnessing Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom and becoming incredibly homesick, she realized she was foolish to subject her immediate family to more loss by abandoning them to their grief, and went back home.
* OfficialCouple: She falls in love with Prince Clear Voice and eventually marries him, as their respective personalities match each other's very well.
* OneSteveLimit: Enforced. Part of the reason why she decided to name herself 'Veritas' is because she's naming her newborn daughter 'Applejack', which is a standing tradition in her family. She claims that this way, it'll be less confusing for people when referring to either of them.
* ParentalAbandonment: She would lose her parents, Bright Mac and Buttercup (formerly Pear Butter following a severe falling-out with the Pear family), to a tragic incident shortly after the birth of her little sister, Apple Bloom. While the exact circumstances behind said incident are unknown, the loss traumatized her and she moved to Manehattan to live with her wealthy relatives, the Oranges, to escape her pain. It's not until witnessing Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom that she returns home, having become incredibly homesick and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realizing she was foolish in subjecting her immediate family to more grief by leaving them behind]].
* PrehensileTail: Her "Happy Tail" mutation comes in this form -- she has a magic field that is channeled through her tail hair, allowing her to use said tail like an extra limb. It also allows her to use her normal (and later divine) lassos.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: She's Golden Scepter's daughter-in-law via her marriage of his sixth-born son, Prince Clear Voice, as well as a sister-in-law of the rest of the Terran Princes. They had no such relations in their [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic respective]] [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 canons]].
* TheReliableOne: On top of honesty, Applejack is characterized by her dependability, reliability and hard-working attitude in terms of personality, wishing to help her family and friends any way she could to the best of her abilities. Sharing this trait with the similarly reliable and determined Prince Clear Voice is what led to them falling in love.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She has delivered at least two in her entry.
** During the "League of Domination" crisis, she made a ''scathing'' deconstruction of Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Tirek's collective motives, pointing out how their desire for revenge originated from personal mistakes and flaws that they [[NeverMyFault blamed others for]], and how they ensured their own downfalls by craving power and domination over others instead of being satisfied with what they already had in front of them.
---> '''Princess Applejack/Veritas:''' Yah blame us for all your woes and want revenge?! Well guess what: if yah want tah blame somepony for everything, look in a mirror! Tirek, yah were the crown prince of a country and YOU decided yah loved power more than yer kin! YOU threw yer brother away like trash! Chrysalis, yer ma has ALWAYS loved ya and wanted ya tah be part of the family, but YOU couldn't stand anybody but you to get the attention and threw it all away! You'd still be Queen if yah'd just ''listened tah Thorax!'' And Cozy? The School of Friendship and all of us accepted yah with open hooves and wanted tah be yer friends, but yah decided tah throw it all away to take over! We wanted tah have yah, but yah wanted power more! You lot have NOBODY tah blame for the situation yer in but yourselves! Every bad thing tah ever happen tah any of yah was yer own faults and yah won't accept it! And that's the honest truth!...So either give up and maybe try tah fix it, or take yer lumps like other creatures!
** She would also deliver one to the Angiris/Poenan goddess Lamperielpida during their confrontation, pointing out that for all her supposed benevolence and compassion, she's really enabling her followers' fanaticism and other worst traits by promoting faith among them in the form of self-deception and excuses to justify their hypocritical, insidious, and extreme actions. It actually triggers her [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascension to demi-godhood]].
---> '''Princess Applejack/Veritas:''' This ain't faith! Yah ain't helping these ponies and gods build faith in a greater cause! Yah ain't makin' 'em have faith in justice! Yer '''''ENABLING''''' them! You're helping them lie tah themselves that everything they're doin' is right! Yer coverin' up all the rotten things they do and encouraging 'em not tah think about it! Yah want real faith, go talk tah Blue Suede Heartstrings about the King of Heaven! THAT is true faith! If yah want ponies tah have faith, Ah'm all for it! But the TRUTH is this: when faith is used as an excuse tah do rotten things, it ain't faith anymore! It's '''''SELF-DECEPTION AND EXCUSES!'''''
* ShatteringTheIllusion: Given her domains of Honesty and Truth, as well as her [[spoiler:former]] position as Bearer of the Element of Honesty, she has the power of breaking through lies, illusions and other forms of obfuscation. This makes her especially dangerous to enemies who uses or are extensively empowered by lies and dishonesty, such as the Summer Court Changelings.
* SignatureHeadGear: As in canon, she always wears a brown Stetson hat, which she inherited from her late father, Bright Mac. It's noted she keeps the real hat at home while she wears copies of it in case her hat might get damaged or destroyed.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: While it's by marriage, she's Golden Scepter's only living female daughter who is also an Alicorn demigod, as [[spoiler:Queen Majesty is deceased and currently living in the Enchanted Throne as a spiritual adviser for the Queens of Friendship, having never Ascended to godhood for fear of becoming a tyrant]].
* SuperEmpowering: Her domain of Family allows her to passively buff those she considers her family, making them more powerful.
* {{Telepathy}}: Her domain of Family allows her to telepathically communicate with those she considers her family. She can also bring positive family memories to the forefront of those around her, helping cool tempers between family members and aiding in reconciliation.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: While she's Golden Scepter's only daughter by marriage, she became one of two Alicorn (demi-)goddesses in the Terran Royal Family overall after Golden Scepter adopted Princess Tiffany/Regina as his granddaughter.
* YouthfulFreckles: She has white freckles, and she would eventually become an [[SemiDivine Alicorn demigoddess]] after exposing herself to Primordial Quintessence from various deities and demi-deities, training under Amour-De-Soi's tutelage, and getting married to Prince Clear Voice, all which culminated in a confrontation with the Poenan goddess Lamperielpida.

!!!'''Affiliation:''' Aureusidae (main), Terran Empire

* CrossoverRelatives: She's an {{Expy}} of [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Yellow Diamond]] who is a biological daughter of Silk Dawn, an expy of [[Anime/KillLaKill Ragyō Kiryūin]], with a twist -- she was created from certain traits Silk Dawn removed from her own firstborn daughter, White Corona, in an attempt to fix White Corona's "imperfections".

** She's the twin sister of Blue Diadem and a younger sister of White Corona, with the twist that she and Blue Diadem were created by Silk Dawn using White Corona's divided traits in her attempt to make White Corona more "perfect" by her standards. In ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond are still sisters but not twins, while White Diamond was their mother-figure by virtue of being the oldest Diamond.
** She's also the older half-sister of Rose Regalia, who, unlike her and Blue Diadem, was sired by Silk Dawn through a flesh-and-blood partner. In ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', this was not the case.

[[folder:Prince Ghost Apple]]
!!!'''Classification:''' Ethereal
!!!'''Portfolio:''' Death, [WIP]

Prince Ghost Apple (first introduced [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/909949548/4989398007 here]]) is a younger son of Princess Applejack V/Veritas and Prince Clear Voice.

--> See their page [[Characters/CodexEquusTerranPrinces here]].

* FantasyPantheon: It's noted in Written Word's entry that despite religion and public worship based on the royal family being banned in the Terran Empire, it didn't stop some people from secretly depicting the Terran Princes as part of a benevolent "pantheon" that would rule over the Terran Empire and ensure eternal prosperity over the lands, with Golden Scepter as his family's TopGod. Jasper even lampshades it in one Codexverse drabble.
* {{Foil}}: All of the Terran Princes are this to Emperor Blackthorn's sons/Scions, the Changeling Kings. Both are demigods, but their growths were affected by how they were raised by their respective parents -- the Terran Princes became beloved heroes of their homeland by overcoming their own flaws thanks to Golden Scepter's positive influence, while the Changeling Kings became infamous as highly immoral and tyrannical schemers thanks to Blackthorn's rather hands-off parenting. The Terran Princes are very close to each other as brothers, while many of the Changeling Kings will not hesitate to kill and/or sabatoge their brothers to gain power and/or Blackthorn's favor. The Terran Prinnces also have the potential to become true gods if they choose to, something that the Changeling Kings believe to be impossible since no Royal Changeling [[spoiler:save for the Zeroth Spawns]] has ever done it before.
* ForWantOfANail: Crimson Star losing his sight in a carriage accident served as a lynch-pin for him and some of his brothers [[TookALevelInKindness overcoming their worst flaws]] and, ultimately, Ascending to demi-Alicornhood. For example, Red Blade and Fanged Paw would have never learned how to get over their hatred and control their tempers, Written Word would have never realized [[BeliefMakesYouStupid the folly of preaching blind faith]], and Night Shade would have stayed a KnightTemplar who [[HeWhoFightsMonsters eventually became as bad as the criminals he hunted down]].
* GenerationXerox: Much like their father, the Terran Princes all struggled with various flaws that crippled their growth as stallions and royals, and made huge mistakes that would continue to haunt them. Once they overcame their flaws and atoned for their mistakes, they would Ascend to demi-godhood.
* AGodIAmNot: Despite being powerful and accomplished demigod {{Warrior Prince}}s, they [[StopWorshippingMe don't want to be worshiped and actively discourage it]]. This stemmed from various factors like [[HumbleHero humility]], insecurities over their own flaws/failures, and/or their collective refusal to let their subjects become overly dependent on them. Notably, the Scholars of the Stars formed in part because Prince Crimson Star, its founder and central figure, didn't want his subjects to worship a ReformedBully.
* HeadPet: After Applejack/Veritas finds her young daughter, Baby Applejack, sitting atop her grandfather's head, Golden Scepter mentions to her that all of the Terran Princes found their way to the top of his head at some point during their infancy/foalhood. They have all grown ''much'' bigger since then.
--> '''Emperor Golden Scepter:''' ''(to Princess Applejack/Veritas)'' For what is worth, my daughter-in-law, your husband and his brothers had also found their way up there at one point or another in their foal-hood. I am more or less resigned and expecting to see more of my present and coming grandchildren making a throne out of my head in the future.\\
'''Baby Applejack:''' ''(cheering)'' Grandpa so comfy!
* HeroicLineage: All of the Terran Princes are the biological sons of Golden Scepter, an extremely ancient Alicorn '[[TheAce prodigy]]' and legendary war hero. Many believe InUniverse that they represent some aspect of their father, such as his PsychicPowers, his ruthlessness, his scientific and technological brilliance, his wrath, and his conviction.
* HistoryRepeats: Defied and averted. During the "Temptation Unbound" conflict, a group of Fallen deities and their worshipers tried getting rid of Golden Scepter and his family by setting his sons against each other, starting with Prince Written Word, in an orchestrated repeat of the "Aurum Apostasy" conflict that nearly killed Golden Scepter. The end result would have been similar to the [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Horus Heresy]], up to including Golden Scepter's death. However, [[SpannerInTheWorks Prince Crimson Star would foresee this and warn his father]], saving his family from destruction and exposing the culprits in the process.
* ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: Subverted. While all of Golden Scepter's sons were adults by the time they each Ascended, they are currently Alicorn demigods, the divine equivalent of a newborn baby. That being said, they do the option and potential to become full-fledged divines if they choose to.
* LargeAndInCharge: Being the biological sons of Golden Scepter, who is very tall himself, all of the Terran Princes are large Alicorn demigods, just like their [=WH40k=] counterparts. Prince Forging Scales in particular is the tallest of his brothers, and is pretty famous even among non-Terrans for his height. They are also major political leaders, powerful warriors, and military commanders in their own right.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: If the entries on Golden Scepter's sons are to be believed, all of them have their father's best traits, such as scientific/technological brilliance, oral charisma, kindness, and idealism. They also have crippling flaws of some kind that they eventually end up redeeming themselves for, just like how their father fell into tyranny and then atoned for his horrible crimes and flaws to make up for them years before.
* LongLived: It's implied that even if they were still mortal, all of Golden Scepter's sons were able to live much, much longer than the average mortal due to inheriting a partial divine heritage from their father. Becoming demi-Alicorns ensured that all of them would become immortal for real.
* MagicHair: Because of their sheer power, all of the Terran Princes had their own magic change their manes and tails to represent what they embody post-Ascension.
* TheMagnificent: All of the Terran Princes have titles to accompany their names after doing something awesome revolving around what they embody. This extends to their adoptive siblings and extended family, all who have badass titles of their own.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings:
** All of the Terran Princes were sired by Golden Scepter through their mother, Blessed Skies. This has not gone without comment from Trixie Lulamoon, who visited the Terran Empire once and was dismayed to find the royal family contained ''only'' divine Alicorn stallions. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Even the Radiant Emperor himself found it highly amusing]].
---> '''Trixie Lulamoon:''' It's nothing but a SAUSAGE FEST in here!
** Later, the Aureusidae would included various adopted deities like Mana Weaver and those from both the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon and the Caearnarian Deer Pantheon, as well as a sister-in-law in Princess Applejack/Veritas following her marriage to Prince Clear Voice. This would increase the Aureusidae's numbers by tenfold.
* MeaningfulName: "Aureusidae" is a combination of "aureus", which means "gold/golden" in Latin, and the "-idae" suffix, which denotes offspring. It refers to how the Terran Princes are sons of [[PhysicalGod Emperor Golden Scepter]] [[spoiler:and is similar to Golden Scepter former Alicorn name, Auriolus Scaeptrum, which he threw away following his reawakening]].
* MissingMom: Justified; the mother of Golden Scepter's sons, Empress-Consort Blessed Skies, was a mortal pegasus mare. The fact that her husband and children are both immortal meant that she would eventually be outlived by them, even with life-extending technologies. This would have a profound psychological effect on the Terran Princes; Clear Voice would develop a fear of [[WhoWantsToLiveForever outliving those he gets close to]], which initially prevented him from dating and marrying then-mortal Applejack, while Written Word went through a CrisisOfFaith as his feelings of BrokenPedestal towards Golden Scepter increased, as he believed his father could have helped her Ascend and grant her immortality, yet didn't.
* NoodleIncident:
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/857186861/4879868328 Apparently, Applejack/Veritas convinced several of the Terran Princes]] to partake in a riddle competition overseen by Aldhika Moufette. They lost, [[SmellySkunk with the resulting penalty]].
** In another [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/891883225/4943958774 Drabble]], both Prince Raven Wing and Prince Red Blade went on vacation in another country. They ended up starting, participating and co-leading a revolution against the oppressive monarchy of said country, [[AchievementsInIgnorance partly by accident]].
* NotSoAboveItAll: As multiple Codexverse quotes and drabbles show, the Terran Princes do tend to get into silly situations (or start them themselves) despite their royal upbringing and demi-divine heritage. This especially applies to the more serious and stoic Terran Princes, like Steel Barricade.
* PapaWolf: The Terran Princes are ''very'' protective of their family, including their own adoptive/biological children. Woe betide those who harm anyone close to them.
** They're very protective of Mercy, a divine Poenan sword who gradually became sapient under the care of [[{{Dhampyr}} Silver Bane]]. Silver Bane gave Mercy up to the Terran Princes following his defection because he trusted their ability to defend her from the Poenans. He was proven right, as many Poenans deemed Mercy to be 'corrupted' and intended to purify her back into a non-sapient weapon she once was for their zealous crusades.
** Some of them seriously considered avenging [[VideoGame/DreamingMary Rosy Dreams]] by letting [[MagicalGirlWarrior Floral Forte]] into the dungeons where [[AbusiveParents Sweet Words]] is held to deal with him. However, Golden Scepter [[{{Telepathy}} hears what they're thinking]], and nips their plan in the bud by pointing out the ramifications and threatening to discipline them if they disobey his orders.
** An inverted example with Golden Scepter: All of the Terran Princes are horrified and angered when Golden Scepter snidely suggests to Gilded Stove, a Terran Griffon chef who tried assassinating him with [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink poisoned spaghetti]], that he learn under his sons to get better at assassination, and they all give Gilded Stove a collective DeathGlare. This motivates Gilded Stove to turn himself in to the authorities, not wanting to die a horrible death at the hooves of nineteen demigods.
** When it was discovered that a group of psychic {{Serial Killer}}s called the "[[Literature/DoctorSleep Mindflayers]]" were targeting and attempting to kill Rosy Dreams under their noses, an enraged Golden Scepter gave the Terran Princes his full permission to pursue the culprits. Save for their leader, Rose Knot, who escaped, all of the Mindflayers chose to fight the Terran Princes to the death rather than be imprisoned, as they would die a slow, agonizing death of starvation.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: As a whole, the Terran Princes can be rather vindictive at times, especially when children ([[PapaWolf including their own]]) is involved. When a [[MamaBear furious]] Floral Forte requested for permission to deal with [[AbusiveParents Sweet Words]] herself, they considered letting her go so they could avenge Rosy Dreams, only for Golden Scepter to put a stop to it. They are also more than happy to see [[SadistTeacher Trench Bull]] rot in her cell, with Prince Death Shroud once begging his father to let him punish her, but was also refused. Golden Scepter would later note to the Four Terrors during their visit that he has his hooves "all over the place" trying to prevent his sons from taking matters into their own hooves, which is one of the reasons why he hadn't granted the Terrors' request to punish his prisoners yet.
* PsychicPowers:
** Much like [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 the Primarchs]], all of the Terran Princes have inherited some degree of psychic ability from him, usually [[TheEmpath empathy]] and/or {{Telepathy}}, though some have varying degrees of [[{{Seers}} precognition]]. Crimson Star is the most powerful psychic of his brothers due to (supposedly) embodying his father's psychic powers and his voracious thirst for knowledge, and his willingness to test how far his own powers can go. Unlike the Primarchs, however, their psychic heritage is [[AdaptationalBadass more obvious in the Codexverse]] due to both Golden Scepter cultivating their talents, and public tolerance and acceptance of psychic powers in the Terran Empire. Kúzelník, one of the Terran Princes' adoptive brothers, has psychic powers as well as part of his Sorcery domain, though he admits Prince Crimson Star is better than him due to being a prodigy who embodies Psionics.
** This applies to much of their extended family, many of whom are either demi-deities and full-fledged deities. In their case, their domains grant them some degree of psychic powers as well.
* RaiseHimRightThisTime: It's implied that [[spoiler:all of Golden Scepter's sons were once his "Golden Generals" from the Imperium era. But they had been [[{{Reincarnation}} reincarnated]] after death by mysterious forces in order to give them a second chance, and to teach Golden Scepter how to treat those close to him with unconditional love, respect, and compassion. Golden Scepter is starting to suspect something, though Luminiferous assures him that even if his sons are indeed his reincarnated Generals, they're still unique individuals with their own thoughts and feelings]].
* {{Reincarnation}}: Discussed. [[spoiler:Golden Scepter, feeling rather frazzled from both dealing with the whammy that Written Word had been encouraging religious worship of him behind his back, and trying to figure out how to deal with him, reveals to Luminiferous that sometimes he wonders if all of his sons are actually reincarnations of his Generals from the Imperium era. Luminiferous assures him that even if they are, they're still unique individuals in a lot of ways]].
--> '''Emperor Golden Scepter:''' [[spoiler:...You know, Luminiferous, sometimes I wonder if my sons are reincarnations of the same Generals that I had treated so poorly...]]\\
'''Luminiferous:''' [[spoiler:Golden, even if they are, your sons are still unique individuals with their own thoughts and feelings. While you can't fix the past, you now have enough knowledge and experience to ensure that your sons can have the brighter future that your Generals did not]].
* RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: All of the Terran Princes are related to each other by blood thanks to their father marrying a mortal mare and siring children with her. By contrast, the [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarchs]] have no biological mother and are only related to the Emperor of Mankind via being his genetically engineered clone offspring.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Much like their father, the Terran Princes don't sit around and let others do things for them. All of them are {{Warrior Prince}}s and highly beloved and respected heroes who each overcame their own flaws, warranting their Ascension to demi-godhood. They also went out of their way to help and protect people from dangerous threats, even if said people are not their subjects. This extends to their adopted siblings like Kúzelník, Phoenix King Naur, and Belyolen and Temnobog, who are either part of ruling pantheons or rule over a pantheon themselves.
* SecretKeeper: All of Written Word's brothers became this for him after he secretly joined the priesthood for an underground religion centered around their father, Golden Scepter. They saw his decision as a "foolish mistake", but they loved their brother so much that they didn't want to break his heart, so they kept quiet around their father for their brother's sake. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome This gets Golden Scepter mad at them when, after discovering what Written Word had been doing behind his back during a heated argument, he learns afterwards that his other sons knew all along yet didn't tell him about it to protect their brother from reprisal]].
* SecretTestOfCharacter: It's noted in Pokhot's entry that she subjects Golden Scepter's sons to "games" of temptation whenever they visit the Bogolenya pantheon, by making them lust after the darker sides of what they each embody. However, the motives behind said games are not malicious -- Pokhot only wants to test their heroic resolve as bastions of virtue, and to her, this is her way of being "friendly" to the children of an ancient god who befriended her father during [[WalkingTheEarth one of his past adventures]]. Thus, she is delighted when they resist her temptations, such as Crimson Star who rejected her offers of forbidden knowledge and a cure for his blindness, [[KarmicJackpot and ended up being gifted with a tome on ancient civilizations]].
* {{Seers}}: Some of Golden Scepter's sons have inherited a form of precognitive power from him, as he is a powerful clairvoyant. Among them are Bright Eyes, Crimson Star, Night Shade, and Red Blade. Kúzelník and Belyolen also have precognitive powers, and Phoenix King Naur has [[PlayingWithFire pyromancy]], though Temnobog inverts it with his retrocognitive abilities.
* SemiDivine: All of the Terran Princes are the collective product of his [[HappilyMarried loving marriage]] to his mortal wife and Empress-Consort, a pegasus mare named "Blessed Skies". It's implied that their mixed heritage was what allowed them to Ascend to demi-Alicornhood on their own, after doing positive things related to what they embodied. However, their adoptive siblings like Kúzelník, Phoenix King Naur, Belyolen, and Temnobog avert this by being ancient, full-fledged deities.
* SiblingTeam: While all of the Terran Princes are powerful demi-Alicorns who can kick ass and take after their equally badass divine father in their own ways, they have been known to work together on numerous occasions so they can kick more ass. The most prominent of them is the team-up between Fanged Paw and Crimson Star, who play off of each other's different strengths and abilities very well, though Fanged Paw has also teamed up with Written Word to stop Onda Ryggraden, an evil Deer Lich warrior/pirate, and it's mentioned that Written Word and Bright Eyes have worked closely in the past in inspiring Hope and Faith among mortals.
* SupernaturalElite: As demi-Alicorn gods and Princes of the Terran Empire, they are ranked very high on the social hierarchy, and they are military commanders, political leaders, and powerful warriors in their own right. However, they are just below their father, Golden Scepter, who as Emperor is the highest living form of Terran authority.
* UnevenHybrid: With the reveal that Golden Scepter is a Pony-Eohippus hybrid due to his father being [[TheOldGods an ancient Eohippus Alicorn]], this makes the Terran Princes Pony-Eohippus hybrids. Except in their case, their Eohippus traits are less pronounced due to them being sired through a Pegasus mother.
* WarriorPrince: All of Golden Scepter's sons, being based on [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 the Primarchs]], are royal demi-divine Princes who are powerful fighters and commanders of their own military chapters, as well as prominent political leaders to varying degrees. However, they're also far less dysfunctional than the Primarchs because of Golden Scepter's benevolent influence as a parent, and they have been known to [[SiblingTeam team up and kick ass]]. Later, gods like Kúzelník, Belyolen, Temnobog, and Naur would be adopted, technically making them 'Terran Princes'... but while the latter three are accomplished fighters, Kúzelník subverts it through being a SquishyWizard who is still working on increasing his combat skill.
* TheWorfEffect: As sons of a very ancient Alicorn 'prodigy' deity, the Terran Princes have been consistently shown as extremely powerful demigods, warriors, and psykers in their own right. Five of them end up receiving a CurbStompBattle and devoured when they run into [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/865347817/4896457069 Prince Excelsius]] in their attempt to stop a plot between a Viceliege and other foreign overlords. However, Excelsius only held the Terran Princes within his gullet long enough to let the plot go as planned, and he fortunately let them go after they successfully managed to draw first blood, but the incident left them all badly shaken.
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: Justified. [[WellIntentionedExtremist Professor Bubbling Beaker]] respected the Terran Princes for managing to Ascend to godhood despite their flaws and/or being faced with immeasurable odds, and looked to them (as well as many other Ascendant deities) for inspiration for his work. The Terran Princes all reacted with shame and anger upon learning of this, disgusted with how they all inspired someone to perform gruesome experiments on innocent foals and teenagers in order to unlock the secrets of divine Ascension.

* BigEater: Baby Applejack's father Clear Voice was ''astounded'' when Baby Applejack ate ''"enough food to feed a small army"'' at a banquet. Applejack/Veritas noted she had an appetite of a full-grown stallion herself and that was ''before'' she became a demigoddess, so Baby Applejack likely got it from her.

* MakeMeWannaShout: Much like Flurry Heart, when she cried shortly after birth, it shattered every window in the medical wing due to her being a baby Demi-Goddess.

* SuperStrongChild: It's believed InUniverse that being the granddaughter of an extremely ancient Alicorn god through her father, as well as the daughter of a former Element bearer, resulted in her birth as a '[[TheAce prodigy]]' demigoddess. Notably, she has enough strength to slam a full-grown stallion despite being a young filly. One drabble shows her protecting Jasper by slamming one of his Pony tormentors into the ground repeatedly.

* AdoptedIntoRoyalty: With her mother dead and her biological father arrested and imprisoned for his crimes, with no other relatives/caretakers left to look after her (her uncle was murdered, and so was her maid and tutor), she ended up being adopted by Prince Bright Eyes, [[PhysicalGod Golden Scepter]]'s ninth son. This along with Mercy would make her a Terran Princess by default. [[spoiler:However, it's revealed that she's a distant descendant of Second Age superheroine Queen Rosy, who was a member of the Age's Power Rangers in life, automatically making her a member of the Isle of Pony's royal family even though she was unaware of it]].

* HeroicLineage: She's the adoptive daughter of Prince Bright Eyes, who is a benevolent and heroic demi-Alicorn god, while her adoptive grandfather, Golden Scepter, is a legendary war hero and divine prodigy. [[spoiler:A canonized drabble reveals that she's a ''very'' distant biological descendant of the Second-Age Isle of Pony's royal family -- specifically, she's related to Queen Rosy, who was part of the Second-Age incarnation of the Power Rangers and known as "the Eternal Queen"]].

* RoyalBlood: A canonized [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/836839462/4836304966 drabble]] reveals that [[spoiler:she is a descendant of Queen Rosy, the Second-Age sovereign of the Isle of Pony and known as "the Eternal Queen" among the Second-Age Power Rangers. This also makes Rosy Dreams a ''very'' distant relative of the Isle of Pony's royal family]].

* AdaptationalBadass:
** While the Primarchs have always been badasses, here, the Terran Princes are very much so, as they are powerful, legitimate ''demigods'' who achieved their own Ascension in different ways. Presently, they have the potential to become full-on divines like their [[PhysicalGod father]] if they choose to. They are also much stronger [[PsychicPowers psychics]] than in canon since the Terran Empire is much more tolerant towards psychics in general.
** This applies to some of the Terran Princes' adoptive siblings and in-laws. Some like Applejack/Veritas were heroic mortals in canon, but eventually became [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascendant deities]] in the Codexverse. Others were based on deities from either real-life mythologies ([[Myth/SlavicMythology Belyolen and Temnobog]]) or fictional pantheons ([[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} Naur and Naneth]]), but didn't have much of an active role. Here, all aforementioned members are {{Physical God}}s who are also {{Reasonable Authority Figure}}s and RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething, and thus are very willing to fight.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Being based on [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 the Primarchs]], all of the Terran Princes have been given this treatment. Because of a disastrous combination of wildly different personalities and beliefs, manipulations of the Chaos Gods, and a [[ParentalNeglect profound lack of good parenting]] on the [[AbusiveParents Emperor of Mankind]]'s part, the Primarchs became a BigScrewedUpFamily that ultimately sets up the stage for the Horus Heresy. Half of the Primarchs even turned traitor. Here, Golden Scepter [[TookALevelInKindness becoming kinder and more benevolent]] would later have an impact on his relationship with his sons when he decided to settle down, which would influence his sons to become more heroic and significantly more emotionally and mentally stable than their [=WH40k=] counterparts.
* AffectionateNickname: All of the Terran Princes generally call each other "Brother" out of love and respect, since here they're much closer as family than the Primarchs were. Blazing Hoof, as the oldest child of the family, is called "Big Brother".
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: All of the Terran Princes are speculated InUniverse to embody certain aspects of Golden Scepter's personality. For example, Crimson Star embodies his father's psionic talent and thirst for knowledge, Fanged Paw embodies his father's ruthlessness and rambunctious energy, Night Shade embodies his father's terrifying nature and desire for justice, Red Blade embodies his father's terrible wrath, and Written Word embodies his father's conviction and ability to inspire.

* BadassFamily: All of the Terran Princes are part of a [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething royal family]] of badasses, much like their character inspirations. Each of them are incredibly competent {{Warrior Prince}}s who take after their father, an antediluvian god and a '[[TheAce prodigy deity]]', and are all military and political leaders in their own right. After Kúzelník, Naur, and Temnobog are adopted by Golden Scepter, their respective pantheons, the Bogolenya and Caearnarian Deer Pantheons, became connected to the Terran Royal Family through them. The badassery also applies to in-laws of the Aureusidae like Applejack, who became an Alicorn in the Codexverse.
* BigBrotherInstinct: The Terran Princes don't take kindly to anyone hurting one of them and will wreak vengeance on those responsible. Part of the reason why [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/865347817/4896457069 Prince Excelsius]] did not keep five of the Terran Princes inside his gullet forever after devouring them is because he feared the possibility of drawing ire from their brothers... as well as [[PapaWolf their father]], Emperor Golden Scepter, whom Excelsius knew he couldn't hope to defeat after Golden Scepter [[CurbStompBattle defeated his mother in twenty minutes]] over a misunderstanding.
* CoolUncle: All of the Terran Princes (and their adoptive siblings and in-laws) are loving uncles to their respective nieces and nephews, though it depends on who the father is. This includes Mercy, a [[TalkingWeapon sapient divine sword]] who was adopted by Red Blade after her 'father'/master, Silver Bane, gave her up to protect her from the [[KnightTemplar Poenan Pantheon]].
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: All of the Terran Princes are demigods who Ascended by overcoming their flaws and doing good things. It's later zigzagged once more members are added -- while some are Ascendant deities/demi-deities, others like Kúzelník, Naur, and Temnobog were born full-fledged gods.
* DivineParentage:
** All of the Terran Princes are biological sons of Golden Scepter, an ancient Alicorn god, through their mortal mother, Blesseed Skies. This would give them their half-divine heritage, making them LongLived mortals before they all [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascended]].
** Some of their adoptive siblings from the Bogolenya/Caearnarian Deer Pantheons like Kúzelník, Naur, Belyolen, and Temnobog were born to High King Irminsul and High Queen Arvan. They were later officially adopted by Golden Scepter because both Irminsul and Arvan were AbusiveParents.
* EmbodimentOfVirtue: InUniverse, all of the Terran Princes are revered in their empire for being bastions of virtue, with some of them embodying at least one virtue as their domains, such as Kindness, Justice, Hope, Temperance, and Faith. This is partially why [[HornyDevils Pokhot]] enjoys playing "[[SecretTestOfCharacter games of temptation]]" with them, to make sure that they stay virtuous and don't lose sight of what they each embody.
* {{Expy}}: All of Golden Scepter's biological sons are based on [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 the Primarchs]]. Much like their character inspirations, they're a group of royal badass brothers whose capabilities far surpass those of their average mortal subjects, to the point of being collectively seen as godlike. However, Golden Scepter atoning for his sins prior to settling down played a huge part on his family dynamic, making his relationship with his sons much healthier than their [=WH40k=] counterparts.

[[folder:Prince Blazing Hoof, the Imperial Sword]]
!!!'''Classification:''' Ascendant
!!!'''Portfolio:''' War(?), Fire(?), Leadership(?), Glory(?)
!!!'''Rank:''' Demigod

Prince Blazing Hoof is the firstborn son of Emperor Golden Scepter, and a demi-Alicorn Prince of the Terran Empire. He serves as Golden Scepter's second-in-command.

* AdaptationalHeroism: [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Horus Lupercal]] was originally the favored son of the Emperor of Mankind, [[FaceHeelTurn until he turned traitor]] thanks to a combination of the Emperor's actions and manipulations from the Chaos gods, creating the Horus Heresy that tore the Imperium of Mankind apart. Here, he's a benevolent demigod Prince who never turned traitor, as his father, Golden Scepter, went through lots of CharacterDevelopment that heavily influenced how he raised his sons.
* AffectionateNickname: He's often called "Big Brother" by his younger brothers out of love and respect due to being the first born among them, despite not being the tallest of them (that honor would go to Forging Scale, the tallest of his brothers).
* BaitAndSwitch: Blazing Hoof [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/914602463/4992299241 once]] confronted his father Golden Scepter and [[ShoutOut declared that he would unleash his legions]]... [[spoiler:for [[FelonyMisdemeanor getting more ice cream]] than he and his brothers]]. Golden Scepter was ''tremendously'' relieved when he realised [[spoiler:young Blazing Hoof and his brothers and friends were merely going to raid the summer palace kitchens for ice cream]] rather than [[HistoryRepeats history]] [[CivilWar repeating]] [[{{Literature/HorusHeresy}} itself]].
* BigBrotherInstinct: When he saw Fanged Paw and a few other brothers beating up a despondent Crimson Star, with the latter not fighting back against his attackers at all, Blazing Hoof unhesitatingly moved to defend Crimson Star alone, even though his younger brother ''had'' been an InsufferableGenius to everyone prior to that. [[PapaWolf Golden Scepter]] would soon intervene before things got too bloody.
* BigStupidDoodooHead:
** Both Mercy and Baby Applejack have called him a "poopy-head", having been persuaded to do so by Fanged Paw and Steel Barricade. He starts worrying if this is going to be a new precedent for him every time he gets a new niece/nephew.
--> '''Prince Blazing Hoof:''' ''(after Baby Applejack calls him a "poopy-head")'' ...Is this going to happen every time I gain a new niece or nephew?
** He gets a bit of payback after [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/857186861/4879868328 several of his siblings, including Fanged Paw]] compete in a riddle competition overseen by Aldhika Moufette, and lost, with the [[SmellySkunk agreed upon penalty]]. Blazing Hoof gets his nephew Solar Shield [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/857186861/4887215428 tell Fanged Paw he stinks...]] and was a poopy-head for partaking in the first place.
* ButtMonkey: He's shaping up to be this. So far, he's been called a "[[BigStupidDoodooHead poopy-head]]" twice by his adoptive/biological nieces (two of whom had been persuaded to do so by [[ThePrankster Fanged Paw]] and [[NotSoAboveItAll Steel Barricade]]), and he got pranked on by Clear Voice and Raven Wing. Discovering that ''[[TheReliableOne Clear Voice]]'' of all people decided to join in their mischievous brothers' antics shocked him.
--> '''Prince Blazing Hoof:''' I think I'm going to quote Jasper on this one... Why does this keep happening to me?
* CallingTheOldManOut: He would confront Golden Scepter on how he handled the Pony Autorists that attacked the Terran Empire, assuming that his father just used his empathy powers on them and [[EasilyForgiven let them go as soon as they started showing signs of regret]]. Golden Scepter would explain to Blazing Hoof by [[EmotionBomb personally showing the Pony Autorists the pain and suffering they've inflicted on his subjects]], he would give them empathy for their victims, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone in turn realizing the consequences of their hatred and self-serving bigotry]]; the only way to alleviate their guilt would be to atone for their actions. Golden Scepter also pointed out that responding with harshness towards all of the Pony Autorists, as Blazing Hoof had intended, would only "beget hatred" in the long run, so he only focused on those who were genuinely unrepentant and bigoted while giving mercy to those who were simply misled.
* DivineParentage: Is the first-born demi-divine son of [[GodEmperor Emperor Golden Scepter]] and Blessed Skies, a mortal pegasus mare. This would make him LongLived until he Ascended and became an Alicorn demigod.
* EatenAlive: A [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/865347817/4896457069 drabble]] revealed a fight with Prince Excelsius, Vicearch Iniquitous' firstborn Princeling of Vice, ended with Blazing Hoof and four of his brothers being consumed and assimilated by Excelsius into his being to prevent them from interfering with one of Excelsius' Vicelieges and his allied overlords' plans, though with his brothers' help, he managed to break out and eventually help break his four other brothers out.
* EtTuBrute: Played for laughs; he was utterly shocked when he discovered that Clear Voice, famous for being the most dutiful of his older/younger brothers, [[NotSoAboveItAll decided to team up with Raven Wing in pranking him]].
--> '''Prince Blazing Hoof:''' You too, Clear Voice?\\
'''Prince Clear Voice:''' It was going to happen sooner or later, Big Brother.\\
'''Prince Blazing Hoof:''' But... you, of all people? You're the dutiful one! I thought you knew better!\\
'''Prince Clear Voice:''' It is the duty of younger siblings to pester and annoy their elder siblings on some days. I may know better, as you said, but even I cannot avoid that particular duty for long.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Even though his younger brother, Crimson Star, had been an InsufferableGenius in the past, he strongly disapproved with his younger brother's [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown severe mistreatment]] at the hooves of Fanged Paw, Death Shroud, and Red Blade, especially since Crimson Star was blinded in a carriage accident. In fact, he moved to protect the injured Crimson Star by himself upon discovering his other brothers' actions until [[PapaWolf Golden Scepter intervened]].
* {{Expy}}: Of [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Horus Lupercal]]. Much like Horus, he's the first son of a divine Emperor, and he serves as his father's second-in-command in both military and political duties. However, Golden Scepter becoming a kinder and more benevolent person would later influence his parenting methods when he decided to settle down and have a family, in turn influencing Blazing Hoof into becoming someone entirely different than the reviled traitor Horus was.
* ForWantOfANail: In [=WH40k=] canon, Horus Lupercal turned traitor and and masterminded the events of the Horus Heresy, thanks to a combination of the Emperor's actions and manipulations of both Lorgar and the Chaos Gods. Here, the fact that Horus's pony counterpart, Blazing Hoof, is a benevolent Prince and hero shows how things could have gone differently if the Emperor actually ''tried'' to be a good father to his Primarch sons.
* GoodIsNotSoft:
** He's implied to be a benevolent and politically active Prince who takes after his father. The fact that he was willing to deliver a harsh yet "just" punishment towards a group of Pony Autorists for attacking the Terran Empire shows just how ruthless he can be in protecting his subjects.
** As Fanged Paw's entry showed, he was willing to confront and beat up three of his own brothers [[BigBrotherInstinct in order to protect another]], saving a severely injured Crimson Star when Golden Scepter heard the commotion and quickly intervened in the fight.
* HeroicLineage: He is the first-born son of Golden Scepter, an antediluvian Alicorn Emperor who is an incredibly powerful psychic, a peerless genius and warrior, and a very competent leader who founded three empires in his lifetime. In addition, he's regarded as a legendary war hero even among the Alicorns, who were all saved from complete extinction thanks to his efforts. If his being inspired by [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Horus Lupercal]] is to go by, he supposedly embodies Golden Scepter's ambition.
* TheMagnificent: Known as "the Imperial Sword", likely because as Golden Scepter's second-in-command, he has important duties involving the Terran Empire's military, similar to how [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Horus]] was appointed to the role of "Warmaster" in the Imperium of Mankind.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Is the oldest of Golden Scepter and Blessed Skies' demi-divine children, and has eighteen younger brothers. Then there's Majesty, a legendary unicorn queen, who became his big sister after his father finally formally acknowledged his adoption of her in the Fourth Age.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: He wanted to give some Pony Autorists "a harsh yet just punishment" for attacking the Terran Empire and their subjects. However, his father, Golden Scepter, decided to pick a more merciful option by [[EmotionBomb personally showing the Pony Autorists the consequences of their hateful bigotry]], allowing him to weed out the unrepentant from those who displayed genuine remorse. When Blazing Hoof [[CallingTheOldManOut confronted Golden Scepter about it]], assuming the Pony Autorists were EasilyForgiven, Golden Scepter would explain that being harsh to everyone would only beget more hatred, and that it is sometimes best to show mercy to those who were simply misled, as all the Pony Autorists (save their leader, an genuinely unrepentant bigot until the end) were motivated to atone for their horrible actions because of the incident.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: In a Codexverse drabble, he roars this trope [[BigBrotherInstinct as he protects a severely injured Crimson Star]] from Fanged Paw and a few brothers who ganged up on him and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beat him up]], punctuating his words with his punches.
--> '''Prince Blazing Hoof:''' ''(roaring)'' Get. Your. ''[[PrecisionFStrike BUCKING]]. HOOVES. OFF. OF.'' '''''MY. BROTHER!!!'''''
* {{Reincarnation}}: He's implied to be one for Aurum Lupus, one of Golden Scepter's Imperium-era Generals who turned traitor and kick-started the "[[Literature/HorusHeresy Aurum Apostasy]]" conflict after seeing his leader had become little more than a divine tyrant. This trope ends up being discussed when a heated argument with Written Word later causes Golden Scepter to wonder if all of his sons, including Blazing Hoof, are reincarnations of the same Generals that he had "treated so poorly". Luminiferous assures him that even if they are, all of his sons are still unique individuals with their own thoughts and feelings, and he has enough knowledge and experience to ensure that they'll have the "brighter future" that his Generals did not.
* SemiDivine: Has a demi-divine heritage by virtue of his father, Golden Scepter, being an extremely ancient and powerful Alicorn god. After he Ascended, he himself became an Alicorn demigod, the Codexverse equivalent of an infant divine.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: In ''40k'' canon, Horus Lupercal turned into the [[DarkMessiah Arch-Traitor]], and then confronted and was eventually killed by the Emperor of Mankind during the Horus Heresy, with even his soul ''[[DeaderThanDead being obliterated from existence]]''. Here in the Codexverse, he's alive because Golden Scepter being a good parent ensured that a similar catastrophe would never happen.
* StraightForTheCommander: Much like [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Horus]], he believes in using the "Speartip" tactic, in which the enemy leadership are targeted and killed first so their armies would lose their will to continue fighting, making them much easier to take down. While it does have its flaws, this tactic has proven very effective against factions that heavily relied on centralized control of their forces, as shown in the "Exosus Conflict". Notably, Luna was an enthusiastic supporter of this due to not only her aggressive temperament, but also her pragmatism and emphasis on precision and stealth.
--> '''[[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/909949548/4980067589 Prince Blazing Hoof]]:''' The first rule of warfare is to eliminate command and control. Cut off the head, and the rest of the body would perish, more often then not. Of course, some may beg to differ, but fortunately most armies are not like hydras. At the very least, it would leave the enemy forces which remain easier to deal with piecemeal.
* WhatTheHellHero: He would give his younger brother, Red Blade, an ''epic'' one for [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating up]] a blinded Crimson Star and leaving him near death, therefore becoming no better than the bullies who used to pick on him every day.
--> '''Prince Blazing Hoof:''' I remember protecting you and walking with you to school so those BULLIES wouldn't attack you! I remember comforting you while Forging Scale put bandages on your wounds whenever you came back home CRYING and BRUISED! By Equus, I even remember Written Word looking after you when you came down with that nasty fever and nearly DIED from it! What HAPPENED to that quiet, kindhearted brother I used to know, Red Blade?! '''''WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?!'''''

[[folder:Prince Ferreus Malleus, the Breaker of Serpents]]

!!!'''Portfolio:''' Metal, Strength, Perfection, Fire
!!!'''Rank:''' Demigod

Prince Ferreus Malleus is the Alicorn demigod of Metal, Strength, Perfection, and Fire, and is the third-born son of Emperor Golden Scepter.

* AdaptationalBadass: While [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Ferrus Manus]] was already a badass by virtue of a Primarch and a clone/son of the Emperor of Mankind, in the Codexverse, he's the third-born son of an extremely ancient and powerful Alicorn god, which makes him a powerful Alicorn demigod on top of whatever skills he already possesses.
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Subverted with him and Palatine Phoenix. They're fraternal twins, and thus look nothing alike. This is ironic since two of their brothers, Bright Eyes and Night Shade, are mistaken to be twins due to their contrasting appearances and domains, but were born a few years apart from each other.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: He's an Alicorn demigod who embodies Metal, Strength, Perfection, and Fire.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: He would ask three of them on the nature of sapientkind's flaws as a response to members of the Abominable Alignment who tried to justify their horrific actions. [[StunnedSilence No one could come up with an effective answer]].
--> '''[[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/836839462/4831513393 Prince Ferreus Malleus]]:''' Why did the ancient Alicorns, the greatest children of the Great Maker, lose their once-great civilization despite their benevolence, power, and divinity? Why did many 'good' kingdoms, empires, and realms still fall into the same trappings of stagnancy and corruption, despite their attempts to remain completely good? And most importantly, why do we continue to rise and fall, despite all our promises and attempts to ensure our own failings and flaws would not be repeated by future generations?
* DivineParentage: Is the third demi-divine son of [[PhysicalGod Emperor Golden Scepter]] and Blessed Skies, a mortal pegasus mare. This would make him LongLived until he Ascended and became an Alicorn demigod.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Ferrus Manus]].
* HandicappedBadass: Implied; he presumably got into an incident that left him with permanently crippling injuries to his forelegs, just like how Ferrus Manus was left with metal-coated hands and arms after fighting a deadly wyrm.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Averted. He and Palatine Phoenix are fraternal twins, with Phoenix being the younger of the two. They look nothing alike.
* TheMagnificent: Known as "the Breaker of Serpents".
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Is the third-born son out of Golden Scepter and Blessed Skies' demi-divine children, and has two older brothers and sixteen younger brothers.
* MeaningfulName: His name means "Iron Hammer" in Latin. This echoes [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Ferrus Manus]]' name, which means "Iron Hands".
* PerfectionIsImpossible: When he was younger, he was quite arrogant and believed that perfection and beauty lay in the absence of imperfection and ugliness, respectively. However, he has since realized that perfection is impossible to achieve, and that the nature/morality of sapientkind is significantly different than weapons or precious minerals. This epiphany led to him Ascending to demi-godhood, and when captured members of the Abominable Alignment [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/836839462/4831513393 tried justifying their horrible actions with the idea that the absence of flaws might save mortal sapientkind]], he proceeds to [[ShutUpHannibal shut them up with a speech of his own]], stating that perfection lay in sapientkind's drive and willingness to improve themselves ''because'' of their own flaws, not in spite of them.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Discussed. [[spoiler:A heated argument with Written Word later causes Golden Scepter to wonder if all of his sons, including Ferreus Malleus, are reincarnations of the same Generals that he had "treated so poorly".

* RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: In canon, Primarchs Ferrus Manus and Fulgrim were brothers by virtue of being the [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Emperor of Mankind]]'s genetic clones, and were very close friends ([[CainAndAbel until the Horus Heresy happened]]). Here, while they're still brothers, they're biologically related and are fraternal twins.
* SemiDivine: Has a demi-divine heritage by virtue of his father, Golden Scepter, being an extremely ancient and powerful Alicorn god. After he Ascended, he himself became an Alicorn demigod, the Codexverse equivalent of an infant divine.
* ShutUpHannibal: In response to members of the Abominable Alignment trying to justify their horrific crimes by [[HannibalLecture stating that transcending mortal limits and ridding sapientkind of its collective flaws is worth the cost]], he points out that sapientkind's failures ''and'' successes [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/836839462/4831513393 rest on how willing they are to let their flawed natures push them to succeed]]. He then follows up with an ArmorPiercingQuestion that asks why even the greatest of gods and civilizations continue to stagnate and fall despite their attempts to remain completely "good". [[StunnedSilence No one could come up with an effective response]].
--> '''Prince Ferreus Malleus:''' And yet, it is our own flaws that motivates us and pushes us to transcend beyond our normal limits. In my arrogance, I once thought that perfection lay in the absence of imperfection, that beauty lay in the absence of ugliness. But we are not the precious minerals we shape and refine in our forges. We are not the weapons we temper with hammers and flame. No, we are creatures of a higher breed and a more complex state of mind, with the ability to develop a moral compass based on what we see, learn and experience.\\\
As Father often taught us, without flaws, we would not know and remind ourselves of the difference between Good and Evil. If my brothers and I did not have any imperfections to speak of, we would all be grasping at straws in our quest to become wiser in the ways of the world. I know that the necessity for Evil to coexist with Good is a difficult concept to understand, but ask yourself: Why did the ancient Alicorns, the greatest children of the Great Maker, lose their once-great civilization despite their benevolence, power, and divinity? Why did many 'good' kingdoms, empires, and realms still fall into the same trappings of stagnancy and corruption, despite their attempts to remain completely good? And most importantly, why do we continue to rise and fall, despite all our promises and attempts to ensure our own failings and flaws would not be repeated by future generations?

* TookALevelInKindness: He mentions that he used to be quite arrogant in his youth, believing that perfection and beauty lay in the absence of imperfection and ugliness, respectively. He has since learned the error of his ways, and Ascended to demi-godhood as a result of his epiphany.

This is ironic since two of their brothers, Bright Eyes and Night Shade, are mistaken to be twins due to their contrasting appearances and domains, but were born a few years apart from each other.
* ButtMonkey: Various quotes and drabbles show that he's often the target of his brothers' teasing and pranks, usually [[ThePrankster Fanged Paw]], which leads to chases all over the palace and/or empire. He also got his spare toga ruined by [[MinionWithAnFInEvil Mignons]] when they visited the Terran Empire, and after Mercy and Rosy Dreams adopted [[PreciousPuppy Chubby]] as a pet, he learned Fanged Paw and Raven Wing had Chubby poop in his bedroom, infuriating him into chasing after his brothers.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Implied, as it's mentioned that he's a demi-Alicorn son of Golden Scepter. This is in stark contrast to Fulgrim, who [[DemonOfHumanOrigin aligned himself with Slaanesh and became a multi-armed, serpentine Daemon Prince]].

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: He's an Alicorn demigod who embodies Kindness, Fire, Earth, and Forge. It's believed InUniverse that he's also the living embodiment of Golden Scepter's compassion.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a GentleGiant who sees both non-sapient and sapient life to be treasured. He frequently clashed with eco-terrorists because [[{{Hypocrite}} they claim to love nature, but hurt innocent people the moment they "harm" nature]].
* BigBrotherInstinct: After learning that Steel Barricade nearly [[DrivenToSuicide committed suicide]] thanks to [[KnightTemplar Night Shade]], he and Clear Voice would visit him in the royal infirmary and swear to help him recover from his ordeal.

* TheBlacksmith: He is this among the Terran Royal Family, bordering on UltimateBlacksmith, having forged many mastercrafted tools, weapons, armour, regalia and other works.
* CloseToHome: As (supposedly) the embodiment of Golden Scepter's compassion for all living beings, he sees both sapient and non-sapient life to be treasured, and is enraged with King Aspen's eco-terrorists for [[{{Hypocrite}} fanatically supporting nature at the expense of everything/everyone else]].
* CoolUncle:
** He became [[TalkingWeapon Mercy]]'s uncle after she was adopted by his younger brother, Red Blade, and it's mentioned in her entry that he's willing to protect her from the [[KnightTemplar Poenan Pantheon]].
** He also acts this way towards his other adoptive niece, Rosy Dreams, a young psychic filly who was sexually abused by her birth father, Sweet Words; when Rosy asked for a seed in return for doing her chores, he refused to fulfill her request due to seeds being associated with her abusive past, and hugged Rosy instead.

Fortunately, thanks to his Alicorn demigodhood and Perpetualty Forging Scales was none worse for wear, cheerfully declaring he was okay after recovering from the explosion.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Implied, as all of Golden Scepter's sons have individually become demi-Alicorns at some point, so this might apply to Forging Scales.
* DivineParentage: Is the fifth demi-divine son of [[GodEmperor Emperor Golden Scepter]] and Blessed Skies, a mortal pegasus mare. This would make him LongLived until he Ascended and became an Alicorn demigod.
* TheDreaded: Used to be this between his fearsome and imposing appearance and also his growing antisocial tendencies due to that and learning he was a Perpetual. This changed after his BreakTheHaughty moment led to a long self-imposed exile and CharacterDevelopment which turned him into the kind, compassionate and humble Terran Prince he is today, beloved by the subjects and allies of the Terran Empire.
* DropTheHammer: Forging Scales favours these as his weapons, on account of both his size and strength, as well as being TheBlacksmith of the Terran Royal Family. His personal weapon is a mighty master-crafted enchanted and powered battle-hammer called 'Dawnbreaker'.
* TheEmpath: Implied; being the Alicorn demigod of Kindness, he shares the same empathic abilities as Upepo, the Giraffe goddess of Kindness. When he caught Steel Barricade throwing Rosy Dreams' treasured stuffed Boar in the fireplace while she was away, he confronted his younger brother on it. He ended up sensing slivers of pain, reluctance, and regret that indicated Steel Barricade's genuine desire to help Rosy [[CruelToBeKind even though he personally didn't like doing what he did to ensure it]].
* {{Expy}}: Of [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Vulkan]], drawing inspiration from both his canon Horus Heresy counterpart (where he was kind, compassionate, selfless and humble) and his AlternateUniverse Roboutian Heresy counterpart (where he was cruel, heartless, selfish and proud).
* TheFairFolk: Had to content with a group of Unseelie 'Old Fae' called the 'Dusk Wraiths' during his 'Reforging' in Promethea, where they regularly attack from their hidden lairs in Draconia. He achieved heroic status and eventually demigodhood fighting back against them with a pair of blacksmiths hammers when they attacked the Promethean city he settled in, rallying the rest of the Prometheans into fighting back as well rather than fighting, and eventually led a war to drive them out that would culminate in a FinalBattle where he knocked the 'Dusk Wraith' overlord leading the operation into a pit of lava. Partly as a consequence to this, he is very uneasy around Fae in general.
* {{Foil}}: To King Aspen's eco-terrorists. As the most compassionate of the Terran Princes, Forging Scales deeply values all life, whether sapient or non-sapient, and sees both as something to be treasured. King Aspen and his eco-terrorists fanatically support nature to the point of harming everything and everyone who don't agree with them. In addition, King Aspen, who is rumored InUniverse to have started the rise of eco-terrorism, is a deeply bigoted and self-righteous xenophobe who sees mortal Deerkind as the rightful caretakers and sovereigns of nature itself.
* GentleGiant: He's the tallest of his brothers and is quite famous for it, even dwarfing his father, Golden Scepter (though is shorter than Golden Scepter's true divine form). It's implied that he has a very kind personality, if his positive interactions with his family and adoptive nieces are of any indication.
* GodOfFire: DEMI-God of Fire, technically, but his domain of Fire allows Forging Scales to [[PlayingWithFire manipulate flames]] and being largely immune thermal and incendiary damage when combined with his domain of Forging.
* HeroicLineage: He is the fifth son of Golden Scepter, an antediluvian Alicorn Emperor who is an incredibly powerful psychic, a peerless genius and warrior, and a very competent leader who founded three empires in his lifetime. In addition, he's regarded as a legendary war hero even among the Alicorns, who were all saved from complete extinction thanks to his efforts. If his being inspired by [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Vulkan]] is to go by, he supposedly embodies Golden Scepter's compassion.
* HumbleHero: When the people of Promethea chose him to be their leader for driving away the [[TheFairFolk Dusk Wraiths]], he refused to accept any official titles or positions in humility, believing he does not deserve it and that he did only what had to be done. He was still the de-facto leader of Promethea in all but name.
* HypocriticalHumor: Forging Scales' kindness and compassion makes him abhor 'inequine' weapons in war, but his own forces heavily utilizes flame-based weaponry, and burning people to death [[CruelAndUnusualDeath isn't exactly very equine]]. Forging Scales is such a PyroManiac however he is inexplicably incapable of understanding how this is a problem when it is pointed out to him, a trait [[BirdsOfAFeather shared by much of his chapter]] the Ebon Drakes.
* InterruptedSuicide: One of his younger brothers, Steel Barricade, would nearly succeed in [[DrivenToSuicide committing suicide]] out of guilt and self-loathing after getting into a nasty argument with Night Shade over his own mistakes. Thankfully, Clear Voice and Red Blade intervened, but Steel Barricade ended up in the royal infirmary. Forging Scales was upset over this, and during his visit, he swears that he'll help Steel Barricade recover from his ordeal and atone for his mistakes.
* KillItWithFire: Being a (demi-)GodOfFire, Forging Scales and his Ebon Drakes chapter uses significant amounts of short-ranged but devastating Fire-based weaponry and magic for battle, from Firehosers which sprays Dragonfire, manacasters which launches Fireballs, to alchemical Fuel-Air bombs and Gelfire (magical Napalm) which could set whole towns and cities ablaze.
* LonersAreFreaks: He was initially quite antisocial when he was quite young due to both fear and ostracization by others for his imposing and fearsome appearance, and his 'Perpetuity' separates him further from common Equinity and made it difficult for him to empathize with common mortals. Fortunately, he experienced a BreakTheHaughty moment which neutered his budding pride and callousness before it could grow into something bad.
* TheMagnificent: Known as "the Hammer of Peace", due to being a [[DropTheHammer hammer-wielding]] Terran Prince and the most compassionate of his brothers.
* ThePhilosopher: Downplayed, but Prince Forging Scales codified the lessons and views he learnt in Promethea and other places into a set of philosophy called the ''"Promethean Creed"'', teaching the existence of potential in all beings and the importance of the great to protect and nurture the small in kindness and compassion to help allow their potential to blossom, while at the same time work to become strong and self-reliant so the meek can become mighty and be in a position to help others without burdening others by needing help, especially in a DeathWorld like Equus with places like frigid Pravata, harsh Promethea and nightmarish Meridia. The creed had proved popular beyond his chapter and the Terran Empire, such as Equestria and Mustangia.
--> '''Forging Scales:''' Honour, self-sacrifice, self-reliance, brotherhood. It is our Promethean creed and we must adhere to it if we are to prosper.
* PyroManiac: All but confirmed. As early as when he was three his room had to be fire-proofed, he is enthusiastic about any situation which requires lighting a fire e.g. barbeques, and his Ebon Drakes military chapter uses a lot of fire-based weapons and magic. Unlike his other faults, he does not consider this a flaw in his character, and is inexplicably confused whenever someone point out his inclination to set things on fire may be a problem as well, as an argument with his brother Death Shroud over his weapons of extermination revealed. To be fair to him, many of his Ebon Drakes are also pyromaniacal or fire-inclined due to high numbers of Dragons or Kirin/Qilin among their ranks.
--> '''Forging Scales:''' These weapons are so inequine! We should have higher standards.
--> '''Death Shroud:''' Oh really? Should we also stop using fire as weapons as well?
--> '''Forging Scales:''' ... I don’t understand the question.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Discussed. [[spoiler:A heated argument with Written Word later causes Golden Scepter to wonder if all of his sons, including Forging Scales, are reincarnations of the same Generals that he had "treated so poorly". Luminiferous assures him that even if they are, all of his sons are still unique individuals with their own thoughts and feelings, and he has enough knowledge and experience to ensure that they'll have the "brighter future" that his Generals did not]].
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Thanks to inheriting his father's Perpetuity mutation, Forging Scales is a Perpetual himself, giving him this and CompleteImmortality.
* {{Tulpa}}: In a ShoutOut to a [[WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice certain]] AffectionateParody series, Forging Scales [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/873294164/4912541600 have one bothering him]] in the form of a 'Skull-Ghost' -- or 'Skost' -- of his brother Ferreus Malleus (before his own change in character), who haunts him and occasionally manifests to condemn him, which was spawned from both his guilt and self-loathing as well as his own magic during his self-imposed exile from the Terran Empire. Fortunately, apart from making him feel bad, Skost-Ferreus is otherwise harmless, and after recovering and returning home Forging Scales had learnt to just ignore it.
--> ''''Skost' Ferreus:''' YOU ARE '''WEEEAAAK''', FORGIIIIING...!\\
'''Prince Forging Scales:''' Shut your not-face, Brain-Ghost Ferreus! You are not friend...
* UnstoppableRage: When he saw Kesavre, the Drake Mother being overcome by the Black Dragon Simmerian during the Dusk Wraiths' attack on the Promethean Sanctuary City he had settled in, Forging Scales, who had previously focused on helping the sheltering and evacuation of the city's people, flew into a protective rage and decided to remain NeutralNoLonger, grabbing a pair of forging hammers and slaughtering his way through the Dusk Wraiths to aid the Drake Mother, rallying the people of the Sanctuary-City to fight back against the Dusk Wraiths themselves.
* WhatTheHellHero: He gave a [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/873294164/4912748983 massive reprimand]] to a Terran Empire general for [[GeneralRipper disregarding and disparaging hapless civilians]] during the 'Storm King Crisis', and later had him removed from command for not only failing to prioritize civilian evacuation over fighting the enemy as the situation required, but even had the heartless audacity to ''shell a refugee camp'' being raided by the Storm Empire's forces with no regard to collateral damage or civilian casualties. The only ones more furious than Prince Forging Scales was are his own elite guards, which he had to restrain from outright murdering the general following the shelling incident then and there before he could be taken away to be imprisoned and court-martialed.
--> '''Terran General''': Your highness, I don’t see why we must spend resources coddling those mobs when it could be used to fight the enemy! Those soft fools don’t understand war. If they know better, they should have got out of the way on their own while true warriors - !\\
'''Prince Forging Scales:''' Those 'mobs', general, are the Terran Empire's people! '''Our''' people! If we spare no effort to protect them, then '''who''' are we protecting?!
* WingedUnicorn: Implied; all of his brothers became Alicorn demigods at some point, so this must apply to him as well.
* WreathedInFlames: After his apotheosis as a demigod Alicorn of fire among other things, his mane and tail are now wreathed in or [[ElementalEmbodiment consist entirely of]] constantly burning green flames. Much to his annoyance, some had taken advantage of it, like his more mischievous brothers and family members who use his burning head [[MundaneUtility as an improvised campfire]].

[[folder:Prince Clear Voice, the Speaker of Truth]]
!!!'''Classification:''' Ascendant
!!!'''Portfolio:''' Truth, Architecture, Fortification

Prince Clear Voice is the Alicorn demigod of Truth, Architecture, and Fortification, and is the sixth-born son of Emperor Golden Scepter.

* AdaptationalSexuality: [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Rogal Dorn]] never showed signs of being romantically attracted to anyone in ''40k''. Here, he finds a lover and wife in Applejack, an Equestrian heroine who is one of the '[[AmazonBrigade Mane Six]]', and has sired children with her after she Ascended to demi-godhood.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Despite being known for being one of Golden Scepter's more dutiful sons, he once [[NotSoAboveItAll teamed up with Raven Wing to play a prank on Blazing Hoof]]. Clear Voice himself even lampshades it when Blazing Hoof confronted him about it.
--> '''Prince Clear Voice:''' ''(to Prince Blazing Hoof)'' It is the duty of younger siblings to pester and annoy their elder siblings on some days. I may know better, as you said, [[NotSoAboveItAll but even I cannot avoid that particular duty for long]].
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: He's an Alicorn demigod who embodies Truth, a divine domain he shares with one of his younger brothers, Written Word.
* AssShove: After catching a group of Terran nobles insulting Jasper, he threatens a group of Terran nobles with this if they continue their cruel behavior.
* BerserkButton: Hearing his fortifications and buildings being broken through or infiltrated serve as this to him, more so the easier it was for the invader/infiltrator to do so. [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/877792481/4924256956 Hearing]] some Unseelie Fae had somehow infiltrated and conducted espionage within the Terran Imperial Palace itself -- one of the finest works he and Steel Barricade worked on together following their reconciliation -- caused him and his brother to fly into a '[[TranquilFury trance-like fury]]' and begin to quite literally 'reinstall' the ''entire palace'' with their own magic, tools and bare hooves to make it impenetrable once more. It took the combined efforts of his father Golden Scepter, his brothers, his wife Princess Veritas/Applejack and half the Castellan guards of the Terran Imperial Palace to restrain them long enough for them both to calm down.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Both he and Red Blade would save Steel Barricade when he tried committing suicide in despair thanks to [[{{Jerkass}} Night Shade]]'s actions. And while Steel Barricade healed in the royal infirmary, he and Forging Scale would visit him, during which they both swore to help their ailing brother recover from his depression and atone for his mistakes.
* BrutalHonesty: Implied, as his epithet is "the Speaker of Truth". Fanged Paw's entry mentions that he can be blunt himself, just not to the extent of his younger brother. It's deconstructed in that his bluntness partially contributed to his extremely strained relationship with Steel Barricade, who at the time was an even worse InsufferableGenius, to the point where they both got in a duel that destroyed a portion of the Terran Empire. Meeting Applejack and befriending/falling in love with her would help him work through some of his flaws.
* CallingTheYoungManOut: After Golden Scepter learned that a portion of the Terran Empire was destroyed thanks to his sons getting into a violent duel, he proceeded to give them an ''epic'' [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech dressing-down]] right then and there in front of everyone. It's noted that while [[InsufferableGenius Steel Barricade]] got the brunt of it due to refusing to change and learn from his mistakes, Clear Voice himself received some part of his father's anger and shame as well.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Implied, as all of Golden Scepter's sons have individually become demi-Alicorns at some point, so this might apply to Clear Voice.
* DivineParentage: Is the sixth demi-divine son of [[GodEmperor Emperor Golden Scepter]] and Blessed Skies, a mortal pegasus mare. This would make him LongLived until he Ascended and became an Alicorn demigod.
* EternalLove: The current state of his marriage with Applejack. Initially, he feared that [[MayflyDecemberRomance Applejack would eventually age and die due to being mortal at the time]], though he went through with it anyway after she talked it over with him. Eventually his fears would be disproved as a combination of factors, including exposure to Primordial Quintessence from his family and fighting the [[KnightTemplar Poenan Pantheon]], led to Applejack Ascending to demi-godhood like he did.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Rogal Dorn]].
* HappilyMarried: He ventually marries Princess Applejack V/Veritas, the former Equestrian Bearer of Honesty-turned-Alicorn demigoddess. As it turned out, their personalities matched and complemented each other so well that as they got to know more of each other, they eventually fell in love and got hitched.
* HeroicLineage: He is the sixth son of Golden Scepter, an antediluvian Alicorn Emperor who is an incredibly powerful psychic, a peerless genius and warrior, and a very competent leader who founded three empires in his lifetime. In addition, he's regarded as a legendary war hero even among the Alicorns, who were all saved from complete extinction thanks to his efforts. If his being inspired by [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Rogal Dorn]] is to go by, he supposedly embodies Golden Scepter's honesty and determination.
* InterruptedSuicide: One of his younger brothers, Steel Barricade, would nearly succeed in [[DrivenToSuicide committing suicide]] out of guilt and self-loathing after getting into a nasty argument with [[KnightTemplar Night Shade]] over his own mistakes. He and Red Blade intervened, but Steel Barricade ended up in the royal infirmary. Forging Scales was upset over this, and during his visit, he swears that he'll help Steel Barricade recover from his ordeal and atone for his mistakes.
* TheMagnificent: Known as "the Speaker of Truth".
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Is the sixth-born son out of Golden Scepter and Blessed Skies' demi-divine children, and has five older brothers and thirteen younger brothers.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: He initially feared this would happen if he decided to date Applejack, as at the time he was an immortal Demi-God while she was a mortal. This stemmed from losing his mortal pegasus mother, Blessed Skies, to old age. Applejack talked through it with him, however, and they ultimately decided to date each other anyway, eventually marrying. It's later subverted once Applejack ascended to become Veritas herself, [[EternalLove making their marriage eternal]].
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite having a reputation as one of Golden Scepter's more dutiful sons, he once teamed up with his younger brother, Prince Raven Wing, in pulling a prank on their oldest brother, Blazing Hoof. Blazing Hoof proceeds to call him out on it.
--> '''Prince Blazing Hoof:''' [[EtTuBrute You too, Clear Voice?]]\\
'''Prince Clear Voice:''' It was going to happen sooner or later, Big Brother.\\
'''Prince Blazing Hoof:''' But... you, of all people? You're the dutiful one! I thought you knew better!\\
'''Prince Clear Voice:''' [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling It is the duty of younger siblings to pester and annoy their elder siblings on some days]]. I may know better, as you said, but even I cannot avoid that particular duty for long.
* OfficialCouple: Falls in love with Applejack and eventually marries her.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Inverted. He lost his beloved mother, Blessed Skies, to old age after Ascending to demi-godhood. This factored into his fear of [[WhoWantsToLiveForever outliving anyone he gets close to]], such as Applejack, who would later become his wife. Fortunately, Applejack talked it over with him before they started dating, and Clear Voice's fears later proved to be unfounded when Applejack managed to Ascend to demi-godhood as Princess Veritas. His mother's death also factored into his decision to intervene when he and Forging Scales found Steel Barricade attempting suicide.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When he catches some Terran nobles insulting Jasper by referring to him as Crimson Star's "pet", he proceeds to tear into them for hurting his younger brother's friend.
--> '''Terran Noble:''' Oh, look. It's the Red Scholar's 'pet'.\\
'''Prince Clear Voice:''' Excuse me? That is my brother's FRIEND you're referring to. He is NOT some mere pet or servant, as you all seem to think. No, he is just like you and me, a resident of this empire. In fact, like you and me, he also has a name: JASPER. Jasper became my brother's friend not by being something that my brother wanted to amuse himself with, but because he happens to share the same interests that my brother has, such as a thirst for knowledge and history... which says a LOT MORE about him than ANY of you. And unlike you SORRY EXCUSES for sapient beings, Jasper has done more for this world than ANY of you could've DREAMED of, despite his flaws.\\\
So unless you want my hoof up your rear ends or my brother coming after you for saying horrible things about Jasper, you are to treat Jasper with the utmost LOVE and RESPECT that he deserves. ARE WE CLEAR ON THIS?
* {{Reincarnation}}: Discussed. [[spoiler:A heated argument with Written Word later causes Golden Scepter to wonder if all of his sons, including Clear Voice, are reincarnations of the same Generals that he had "treated so poorly". Luminiferous assures him that even if they are, all of his sons are still unique individuals with their own thoughts and feelings, and he has enough knowledge and experience to ensure that they'll have the "brighter future" that his Generals did not]].
* SelfHarm: A [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/859005115/4882160649 Codex drabble]] reveals that since his exile from the Terran Empire, he had been torturing himself in penance for both real and perceived failures/mistakes. After he came back home, he had the 'Pain Gauntlet' constructed in secret so he could cleanse himself of all 'impurities'. This caused a horrified Golden Scepter to confront him on the issue once he discovered what his son was doing.
--> '''Emperor Golden Scepter:''' How - How long, Clear Voice?\\
''([[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Prince Clear Voice is silent.]])''\\
'''Emperor Golden Scepter:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis How. Long?]]\\
'''Prince Clear Voice:''' ...Since my exile, Father.
* SemiDivine: Has a demi-divine heritage by virtue of his father, Golden Scepter, being an extremely ancient and powerful Alicorn god. After he Ascended, he himself became an Alicorn demigod, the Codexverse equivalent of an infant divine.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Despite previously going through an extremely strained relationship with his younger brother, Steel Barricade, he nevertheless helped Red Blade stop Steel Barricade from committing suicide because he didn't want to lose another family member after losing his mortal mother, Blessed Skies, to old age. He also visited Steel Barricade with Forging Scale while the former was recovering in the royal infirmary, and swore to help his brother recover and atone for his mistakes.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: As an Alicorn demigod, he is immortal. His mortal pegasus mother dying from old age left him understandably fearful of losing people he loves, as he prevented a despairing Steel Barricade from committing suicide and visited him in the royal infirmary with Forging Scale. He also worried about outliving Applejack, whom he fell in love with, something that Applejack helped him deal with before they eventually dated and married. Fortunately, his fears were proven wrong when a combination of factors, including exposure to Primordial Quintessence from various deities and demi-deities, allowed Applejack to Ascend to demi-godhood.

[[folder:Prince Regal Scroll, the Gauntlet of Oaths and Reason]]
!!!'''Classification:''' Ascendant
!!!'''Portfolio:''' TBA
!!!'''Rank:''' Demigod

Prince Regal Scroll is the seventh-born son of Emperor Golden Scepter, and a demi-Alicorn Prince of the Terran Empire.

* DivineParentage: Is the seventh demi-divine son of [[PhysicalGod Emperor Golden Scepter]] and Blessed Skies, a mortal pegasus mare. This would make him LongLived until he Ascended and became an Alicorn demigod.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Roboute Guilliman]].
* HasTwoMommies: A justified gender-inverted example. While his biological father is Golden Scepter, he also has an adoptive father figure in the city-state of Mare-Crag whom he loved and respected a great deal.
* IWillFindYou: His [[TranquilFury calm]] yet utterly damning [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/819168411/4800860182 speech]] to an usurping Co-Consul of Mare-Crag includes this trope as a threat at the end.
--> '''Prince Regal Scroll:''' By my true and adoptive fathers' names, I will FIND you, I will BRING you to JUSTICE, and I will personally haul you, CONDEMNED and in CHAINS, into the deepest, darkest dungeon that can be found.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Implied. In a canonized quote, Death Shroud, one of his younger brothers, described him as "a huge ass sometimes" with "[[OpenMouthInsertFoot perpetual hoof-in-mouth syndrome]]". However, he's a benevolent son of Emperor Golden Scepter and a demi-Alicorn Prince of the Terran Empire. His relationship with his older/younger brothers is also very loving despite his flaws, with Death Shroud being willing to give his life to protect him if need be.
* TheMagnificent: Known as "the Gauntlet of Oaths and Reason".
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: Implied; Death Shroud mentions that he has "perpetual hoof-in-mouth syndrome", a problem shared with Primarch Roboute Guilliman. Despite this, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold he loves his family and ultimately means well]].
* {{Reincarnation}}: Discussed. [[spoiler:A heated argument with Written Word later causes Golden Scepter to wonder if all of his sons, including Regal Scroll, are reincarnations of the same Generals that he had "treated so poorly". Luminiferous assures him that even if they are, all of his sons are still unique individuals with their own thoughts and feelings, and he has enough knowledge and experience to ensure that they'll have the "brighter future" that his Generals did not]].
* TranquilFury: Upon learning that his adoptive father was murdered by his own treacherous co-consul in a bid for power, he utterly dedicated himself to tracking down the murderer so he could drag him back to Mare-Crag in chains to a well-deserved punishment. His [[IWillFindYou speech]] regarding his motives is calm, yet utterly damning.
* YouKilledMyFather: His adoptive father died when his co-consul betrayed and murdered him for power. This led to Regal Scroll devoting himself to tracking down his adoptive father's killer so he can drag him back to Mare-Crag in chains to a well-deserved punishment.

[[folder:Prince Bright Eyes, the Angel of Hope]]
!!!'''Classification:''' Ethereal/Ascendant
!!!'''Portfolio:''' Hope, Love, Light, Prophecy
!!!'''Rank:''' Demigod

-> ''"Hope is a terrifying concept, for it forces us to get out of our comfort zones and deal with things we are unfamiliar with. But without hope, we cannot pursue the things we want to happen, or search for a light that will save us during our darkest hour."''

Prince Bright Eyes (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-40-838583638 here]]) is the Alicorn demigod of Hope, Love, Light, and Prophecy, and is the ninth-born son of Emperor Golden Scepter.

* AdaptationalBadass: Primarch Sanguinius is a powerful and beloved military leader and warrior, but a weak psyker whose notable ability is his foresight. Here in the Codexverse, he's an Alicorn demigod who embodies Hope, Love (specifically Storge Love), Light, and Prophecy, making him much more powerful than his character inspiration. In addition, unlike Sanguinius, he accepted his vampirism and makes use of the unique abilities that were granted by it.
* AdaptationalHeroism: While [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Sanguinius]] was loyal to the Imperium, and was one of the nicest and most benevolent Primarchs, he still shared the Imperium's xenophobic beliefs and its collective willingness to kill xeno races for humanity's prosperity and survival. Here, he doesn't have his character inspiration's xenophobia, and while he initially neglected his son, Hopeful Moon, [[ThatThingIsNotMyChild for being a reminder of how he got cursed by a Count Dracolt]], he saw the error of his ways thanks to Golden Scepter and became a better parent for Hopeful to make amends for his mistake.
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Averted with him and Night Shade. After Ascending to demi-godhood, Night Shade became as tall as he is, and because of their contrasting appearances and domains, they are sometimes mistaken to be twins. They're actually not, as Night Shade was born sometime after he was.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: He's a Terran Alicorn demigod who embodies Hope, Love, Light, and Prophecy. It's believed in-universe that he embodies Golden Scepter's hope and idealism, which might explain his generally optimistic and compassionate personality.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: He would receive one from Golden Scepter regarding his son, Hopeful Moon. After telling him a story about [[JerkassGods High King Irminsul]] and his [[AbusiveParents abusive realtionship]] with his own son, Temnobog, Golden Scepter asked Bright Eyes if he was willing to become like Irminsul, damning an innocent child and sacrificing its hopes, dreams, and future for the sake of his own happiness. This caused Bright Eyes to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realize he let his traumas influence him into becoming abusive himself]], and vowed to be the loving parent that Irminsul was not after spending some time with Hopeful.
* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: He and Written Word participated in one. Although they rescued Rosy Dreams from [[AbusiveParents Sweet Words]], she was in a coma by the time they found her because Sweet Words created a nightmarish dream entity to imprison her within her own mind as punishment for defying him. Night Shade suggested "[[{{Telepathy}} mind-walking]]" into Rosy's dream world, having previously seen and experienced a similar situation with Silver Bane, so he and Written Word did just that with [[TheArchmage Crimson Star]]'s help, and battled the dream entity keeping Rosy prisoner. Once the dream entity was weakened, they encouraged Rosy to land the final blow, and she woke up from her coma when she succeeded.
* BigEater: Justified. After his son, Hopeful Moon, was "born", he started eating more food in addition to blood to sustain both himself and Hopeful. This led to Hopeful becoming a chubby baby, though he would lose some of it once he became a toddler.
* CloseToHome:
** He hates AbusiveParents due to learning from Golden Scepter what High King Irminsul had done to both his unborn son and Temnobog, and realizing that he himself nearly went down the same path with Hopeful Moon. This led to him greatly sympathizing with Temnobog and Belyolen, who are the living bifurcated parts of Irminsul's unborn son. He was also rather appalled when he learned of Golden Scepter's past emotional neglect of his adoptive daughter, Queen Majesty, though he forgave his father as Golden Scepter had realized the error of his ways and truly changed.
** He gets rather angry with those who crush the hopes of innocents, whether for sadistic enjoyment or for selfish reasons. He is completely disgusted with Irminsul, who mutilated and killed his unborn son in trying to make him a perfect and flawless god, and abused Temnobog for being born "evil" despite not doing anything to truly earn his mistreatment. This is because Bright Eyes nearly did the same thing to Hopeful Moon during a low point in his life, but realized his mistake after Golden Scepter [[ArmorPiercingQuestion asked him if he was willing to damn a child for the sake of his own happiness]].
* CulturedBadass: Rosy Dreams' entry mentions that he's known for being a patron of the arts, implying that he is a skilled and celebrated artist himself. His MentalWorld even resembles both an art gallery and art studio. He's also a son of Golden Scepter and Prince of the Terran Empire, as well as a hero and leader of his own legion.
* DivineParentage: Is the ninth demi-divine son of [[ImmortalRuler Emperor Golden Scepter]] and Blessed Skies, a mortal pegasus mare. This would make him LongLived until he Ascended and became an Alicorn demigod.
* ElementalHairComposition: Both his mane and tail are currently composed of rippling, ethereal light post-Ascension, which comes from [[AnthropomorphicPersonification being the Alicorn demigod of Light]].
* {{Expy}}: Of [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Sanguinius]].
* FurAgainstFang: Defied and averted. His Hope Bringers legion contains both vampires and werebeasts, and he himself is a demi-divine vampiric Alicorn. However, despite InUniverse stereotypes depicting vampires and werebeasts as traditional enemies, he made sure to discourage infighting in his legion by teaching his soldiers the importance of cooperation and trust.
* GoodParents: He became a loving [[ParentalSubstitute adoptive father]] for Rosy Dreams after he took her in, which helped Rosy recover from years of isolation and sexual abuse at the hooves of Sweet Words. One of the things he did was encourage Rosy's budding talents in art, which allowed her to express her deepest thoughts, fears, and traumas through art and in turn, allowed her family and therapists to understand and help her better. The same applies to Hopeful Moon, his biological son, and Gliding Butterfly, his other son via adoption.
* GoodIsNotSoft: While noble and compassionate, Prince Bright Eyes is not soft in the slightest and would not hesitate to remind others he's among the most martially-capable Terran Princes of the Auruesidae. When Sweet Words, Rosy Dream's insane abusive father, [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/909949548/4993692475 tried]] to run and grab at Rosy Dreams in the courtroom at his sentencing, Prince Bright Eyes' [[PapaWolf response]] is to immediately draw his powered sword faster than even some of his brothers can see and [[AnArmAndALeg slice off one of Sweet Words' hooves]] before he could reach her.
* HeroicBSOD: At one point, he fell into a depression after he was cursed with vampirism by a Count Dracolt he once clashed with, and learned that vampirism could never be cured, only suppressed and controlled. Fortunately, his younger brother, Written Word, was there to help him recover emotionally.
* HeroicLineage: He is the ninth son of Golden Scepter, an antediluvian Alicorn Emperor who is an incredibly powerful psychic, a peerless genius and warrior, and a very competent leader who founded three empires in his lifetime. In addition, he's regarded as a legendary war hero even among the Alicorns, who were all saved from complete extinction thanks to his efforts. If his being inspired by [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Sanguinius]] is to go by, he supposedly embodies Golden Scepter's idealism and hope for Ponykind.
* HeroesLoveDogs: He's a benevolent demi-Alicorn Prince like his older/younger brothers, and he became the proud owner of [[PreciousPuppy Chubby]] after Fanged Paw and Dr. Endless Dreams summoned a Corgi into their world while cooking a "Full Grittish Breakfast".
* IaijutsuPractitioner: [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/904477912/4993694112 Demonstrates]] this when [[PapaWolf protecting]] his adoptive daughter Rosy Dreams from her insane abusive father Sweet Words, drawing his Blade Encarmine and slicing off one of Sweet Words' hooves in a single swipe when Sweet Words tried to rush to and grab her in the courtroom at his sentencing. He [[SuperSpeed did it so fast]] even some of his brothers didn't see him move.
* InterspeciesAdoption: He adopted Gliding Butterfly, a mutant griffon.
* LightEmUp: As the Alicorn demigod of Light, he's an extremely skilled and powerful user of light magic, except his brand is psionic in nature. While he has typical abilities associated with light magic, including [[BeamSpam firing beams of light]], producing [[BarrierWarrior light barriers]], and temporarily blinding his opponents with flashbangs, Bright Eyes can use light to calm agitated people and give them peace of mind, and [[HealingHands heal wounds]]. Another unique ability involves using psionic light to break down mental barriers and allow people to remember the happiest moments of their lives, or remember their sins and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone make them realize what they did was wrong]]. What makes this an ironic power is that he's a vampire, and one of their major weaknesses is [[WeakenedByTheLight light]].
* LoveGoddess: Gender-inverted. As a demigod of Love, he specifically embodies [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storge Storge Love]], known as the love shared by families. Through this domain, his [[TheEmpath psychic empathy]] is enhanced further, and he gravitates towards those who love their families very much or are falling out of love with them. In addition, he can [[MagicalEye see the bonds that tie people together as family]]. This gives him the ability to help fix these bonds if their relationships are deteriorating or forcibly broken by those who separate family from their own kin. However, he can also sever these bonds, which he uses to help free people from toxic, abusive families. As the embodiment of Storge Love, Bright Eyes is [[ThePowerOfLove empowered by the presence of familial love and grows stronger when there's a massive abundance of it]], though the opposite can happen if there's so little.
* MagicHair: Post-Ascension, his mane and tail are now composed of [[ElementalHairComposition rippling, ethereal light]].
* TheMagnificent: Known as "the Angel of Hope", due to being the Alicorn demigod of Hope and a paragon of hope both in and out of the Terran Empire.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Is the ninth-born son out of Golden Scepter and Blessed Skies' demi-divine children, and has eight older brothers and ten younger brothers.
* MeaningfulName: His name is "Bright Eyes", and he's a {{Seer|s}} whose foresight is more powerful and (presumably) accurate than the foresight possessed by his older brother, Crimson Star.
* MentalWorld: According to Rosy Dreams' entry, his dream world resembles both an art gallery and art studio.
* MindOverMatter: One of his PsychicPowers is psionic telekinesis.
* MisterSeahorse: Averted in a weird way. He created Hopeful Moon by trying to suppress his vampirism, which technically makes him Hopeful Moon's "mother". However, due to the unique nature and circumstnaces of Hopeful Moon's birth, the only way he can interact with his son is by entering his own mind.
* OneManArmy: Prince Bright Eyes is one of the most capable warriors among the Terran Princes, capable of tearing through ranks of opponents both on the ground and in the air thanks to his abilities and empowerment from domains, his vampiric nature and his status as one of the older demigod scions of Emperor Golden Scepter. He demonstrates this [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/914602463/4993701228 during]] the Giant Wars in one battle by throwing his spear through the skull of one Jotunn, cut off the head of a Fomorian with his sword, and searing a gaping hole through the body of a Gigantes with a beam of light, all in quick succession, terrifying the rest of the mix-group Rampage of hostile Giants into retreat.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted. There is another pony named Professor ''Bright Eyes'', who was a heroine and member of the "Tales/Virtuous Seven" group that existed in the Second Age. The fact that he's NamedAfterSomebodyFamous would give him a lot of insecurities concerning his ability to live up to his namesake's legacy, though Golden Scepter would assure him that the legacy he carries is still his own, and he still loves him regardless of his choices and accomplishments. Once Professor Bright Eyes comes BackFromTheDead as Princess Bright Eyes, there was much confusion until she is renamed Princess Themis Machina.
* PapaWolf: Having adopted Rosy Dreams, Prince Bright Eyes is notably protective of her, especially from Rosy Dreams' insane biological father Sweet Words. When Sweet Words made an [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/904477912/4993694112 attempt]] to grab at Rosy Dreams in the courtroom at his sentencing, Prince Bright Eyes unhesitantly protected her by drawing and [[AnArmAndALeg slicing off one of Sweet Words' hooves]] with his [[CoolSword Blade Encarmine]] faster than even some of his brothers can see.
--> '''Prince Bright Eyes:''' [After cutting off Sweet Words' hoof] No. Rosy Dreams is not yours to hurt any longer. And you will never touch her again.
* ParentalSubstitute: He became Rosy Dreams' adoptive father since, thanks to [[AbusiveParents Sweet Words]], her mother killed herself by putting herself in a coma after she was crippled in an "[[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident accident]]" while Rosy's uncle and servants were killed to keep them from reporting his actions. This went a long way in helping Rosy recover from years of isolation and sexual abuse, as unlike Sweet Words, Bright Eyes is a loving parent who encouraged her to do whatever she liked.
* PsychicPowers: Much like [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Sanguinius]], Bright Eyes has precognitive abilities, except as the Alicorn demigod of Prophecy, his foresight is on a greater scale than those possessed by even his older brother, Crimson Star. Unlike Sanguinius, however, Bright Eyes' entry notes that he is skilled in psionic magic, bearing abilities like telepathy and psionic telekinesis, though he admits that Crimson Star is more powerful than him in this regard. His psychic powers allowed him to hear Rosy Dreams' telepathic cries for help, though he and Written Word had to be guided to Rosy's home by the spirit of Dust Bunny, Rosy's maid, in order to rescue the filly from [[AbusiveParents Sweet Words]].
* {{Reincarnation}}: Discussed. [[spoiler:A heated argument with Written Word later causes Golden Scepter to wonder if all of his sons, including Bright Eyes, are reincarnations of the same Generals that he had "treated so poorly". Luminiferous assures him that even if they are, all of his sons are still unique individuals with their own thoughts and feelings, and he has enough knowledge and experience to ensure that they'll have the "brighter future" that his Generals did not]]. It's later revealed that [[spoiler:he's the reincarnation of [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 General Sanguine Light]], said to be one of the greatest and most benevolent of the Golden Generals]].
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: [[VideoGame/DreamingMary Rosy Dreams]] and [[Series/{{Inazuman}} Gliding]] [[Film/KamenRiderXKamenRiderWizardAndFourzeMovieWarUltimatum Butterfly]] are his adoptive children, and [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Mercy]] is his adoptive niece. [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Queen Hylia the Wise]] is his paternal aunt, while [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Radiant Primrose]] is technically his 'niece' since she's Hylia's cyclic reincarnation. All of this was completely nonexistent in the characters' respective canons.
* {{Seers}}: As the Alicorn demigod of Prophecy, he has precognitive abilities like Crimson Star, but his are more potent and accurate than his brother's. He can receive flashes during the day, [[CombatClairvoyance which allows him to predict and avoid his opponent's attacks]], but it's noted his visions are enhanced when he's asleep. He can grant these visions to others if he desires.
* SemiDivine: Has a demi-divine heritage by virtue of his father, Golden Scepter, being an extremely ancient and powerful Alicorn god. After he Ascended, he himself became an Alicorn demigod, the Codexverse equivalent of an infant divine.
* SiblingTeam: During the "Storm King Crisis", he would work closely with one of his younger brothers, Written Word, in inspiring Faith and Hope in the mortal populace by protecting those caught in the crossfire, and motivating soldiers by giving them a reason to continue fighting. Written Word's entry notes that it's not the first time this happened, as they had teamed up in the past.
* SinkOrSwimFatherhood: Subverted. As Hopeful Moon was "born" rather unexpectedly during a particularly low point in his life, so he was not in the right mind to raise him, even though he did accept Hopeful as his son thanks to Golden Scepter. Because of this, his older/younger brothers all pledged to help him look after Hopeful until he made a full psychological recovery.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: In ''40k'' canon, Primarch Sanguinius died trying to stop his own brother and the Arch-Traitor, Horus Lupercal, during the Horus Heresy. Here in the Codexverse, as Bright Eyes, he's alive because Golden Scepter being a good parent ensured that a similar catastrophe would never happen.
* SuperSpeed: Prince Bright Eyes is noted to be a LightningBruiser, and can react and move so fast even some of his brothers can't track him.
* {{Telepathy}}: One of his psychic abilities is telepathy. This allowed him and Written Word to hear Rosy Dreams' telepathic cries for help, though he and his brother had to be guided by Dust Bunny's spirit in order to go to Rosy's home and rescue her from her sexually abusive father.
* ThatThingIsNotMyChild: Played straight at first. After running away from the Terran Empire, he would have prophetic dreams about an infant Bat pony who acknowledged him as his parent and tried getting his attention, and the dreams would become increasingly real. But due to suffering from trauma, depression, and self-loathing at the time, Bright Eyes rejected the Bat pony since it reminded him of the Count Dracolt who cursed him with vampirism. Even after Golden Scepter found him and found the infant Bat pony residing in his son's mind, Bright Eyes refused to see him as his child. Golden Scepter put an end to this harmful mindset by telling Bright Eyes a story about [[HolierThanThou High King Irminsul]] and his [[AbusiveParents abusive relationship]] with [[GodOfEvil Temnobog]], and asking him if he wanted to damn an innocent child for the sake of his own happiness as Irminsul had done. Bright Eyes [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realized his mistake]] and named his infant son "Hopeful Moon", vowing to become the loving parent for his son that Irminsul wasn't.

[[folder:Prince Emerald Lion, the Stalwart Knight]]
!!!'''Classification:''' Ascendant
!!!'''Portfolio:''' TBA
!!!'''Rank:''' Demigod

-> ''"Loyalty is its own reward."''

Prince Emerald Lion is the tenth-born son of Emperor Golden Scepter, and a demi-Alicorn Prince of the Terran Empire.

* BewareTheQuietOnes: Emerald Lion is quiet, reserved, antisocial and generally a loner, but if you give him cause to be mad at you, he won't chastise you or anything -- rather, as Prince Raven Wing put it, he would express his absolute disappointment with action that would make you regret ever doing whatever you did to piss him off.
** Best shown during his and the Dark Angels chapter's participation of the Talon Bais War. While a dragon- and monster-slayer himself, he was similarly horrified and enraged by the racist, genocidal atrocities the dragonslayer kingdom's regime and society committed against the dragons, but kept his opinions to himself. He would proceed to express his disappointment and contempt of Talon Bais' evil actions by [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/900966875/4960802444 ordering]] the ''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill complete obliteration]]'' of one of its city, a major military target infamous for its [[EatsBabies Draco-Balut]] dishes, subjecting it to [[DeathFromAbove massive, sustained and relentless aerial bombardment]] from his aerial flagship ''Invincible Reason'' and its accompanying Dark Angels and Imperial Terran Armada aerial fleets until nothing is left but cratered desolation.
* CoolShip: His aerial flagship is the ''Invincible Reason'', and like its counterparts which his fellow Terran Princes have it is a titanic aerial dreadnaught possessing enough firepower to rival whole aerial fleets, capable of taking out an aerial cruiser with just one shot. It is so intimidating that it induces ''[[TheDreaded crushing existential terror]]'' upon certain witnesses: [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/869178368/4961143298 during]] the Talon Baisian War, despite technically fighting on the same side, many old-school dragons who witnessed it reportedly fell into [[DespairEventHorizon depression]] and [[ThisCannotBe denial]] not only because they fear its might, but also realizing the implications it represents, as it was built by those who [[WhosLaughingNow they would normally had razed, pillaged and devoured with impunity]]. If the [[ANaziByAnyOtherName genocidal dragonslayers]] of Talon Bais reminded all how dangerous non-dragon races could be to dragons, ''Invincible Reason'' showed [[TheWorfEffect just how outmatched they are imminently becoming]], heralding the [[EndOfAnEra twilight of their time]] of [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty dominance and impunity]].
--> '''Dragon 1:''' Tiamat's great wings!\\
'''Dragon 2:''' What... what are we looking at?!\\
'''Dragon 3:''' ... The end of our era.
* DivineParentage: Is the tenth demi-divine son of [[PhysicalGod Emperor Golden Scepter]] and Blessed Skies, a mortal pegasus mare. This would make him LongLived until he Ascended and became an Alicorn demigod.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Lion El'Jonson]]. They're both associated with green (Lion El'Jonson wore green and Emerald Lion is named after a green gemstone) and they both have lion-based names (''Lion'' El'Jonson and Emerald ''Lion'').
* HeroicLineage: He is the tenth son of Golden Scepter, an antediluvian Alicorn Emperor who is an incredibly powerful psychic, a peerless genius and warrior, and a very competent leader who founded three empires in his lifetime. In addition, he's regarded as a legendary war hero even among the Alicorns, who were all saved from complete extinction thanks to his efforts. If his being inspired by [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Lion El'Jonson]] is to go by, he supposedly embodies Golden Scepter's secretive nature.
* TheMagnificent: Known as "the Stalwart Knight".
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Is the tenth-born son out of Golden Scepter and Blessed Skies' demi-divine children, and has nine older brothers and nine younger brothers.
* PreMortemOneLiner: Gave [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/897831515/4961888028 one]], presumably upon ordering the bombardment and total destruction of a Talon Baisian city (a major military target also infamous of its [[EatsBabies Draco-Balut]] dishes]) during the Talon Bais War, which summarized his entire view on and his response to the dragonslayer kingdom's racist, genocidal atrocities against dragons in [[TranquilFury his usual quiet, reserved and straightforward manner]].
--> '''Prince Emerald Lion:''' '''Fall.'''
* TheQuietOne: One of the less public members of the Aurusidae, Prince Emerald Lion prefer to stay in the background, keeping his thoughts and feelings to himself and dedicating almost entirely to the duties he upholds regardless of thanks or notice. As his father [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/891883225/4951560857 indirectly noted]], he is not one for pomp -- loyalty is enough a reward in its own right.
--> '''Emperor Golden Scepter:''' Some must demand such pomp. They cannot accept the end of one era and the commencement of another without an occasion by which to mark it and give it meaning. Laurels must be given, honours and fair titles invented so that they may be bestowed upon the favourites. Some has a need for recognition.\\\
Some, however... do not.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Discussed. [[spoiler:A heated argument with Written Word later causes Golden Scepter to wonder if all of his sons, including Emerald Lion, are reincarnations of the same Generals that he had "treated so poorly". Luminiferous assures him that even if they are, all of his sons are still unique individuals with their own thoughts and feelings, and he has enough knowledge and experience to ensure that they'll have the "brighter future" that his Generals did not]].
* SmallRoleBigImpact: At sone point in his life, he went through a "personal phase" that motivated him to look to his father, Golden Scepter, for help. Golden Scepter proceeded to tell his sons stories of both the Alicorn Civilization's FreeLoveFuture and [[ParentalSexualitySquick his past sex life]], kicking off a series of events where Prince Written Word moved past his worshipful idolization of his father and Ascended to demi-godhood by liberating a Pony kingdom from a ReligionOfEvil made by demons. In other words, Written Word's development, as well as hundreds of innocent lives, hinged on one Terran Prince and his personal dilemma.
* TranquilFury: Prince Emerald Lion, despite having been a monster/dragon-slayer himself, was [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/900966875/4960802444 reportedly]] just as horrified and furious at the atrocities committed upon innocent Dragons by the dragon-slayers and fanatical regime of Talon Bais, [[TheQuietOne but kept his opinions to himself]]. This is not because he doesn't care or not have something to say about it; rather, as Prince Raven Wing (Also a quiet person himself) explained, he believes that actions speaks louder than words, and it was believe his [[KillEmAll total]] [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill destruction]] of a city in Talon Bais (a major military target which also makes and exports [[EatsBabies Draco]]-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balut_(food) Balut]] dishes) by aerial bombardment from his chapter's and Terran Empire's aerial vessels during the war summarizes everything he felt about the Talon-Baisians' atrocities.
--> '''Prince Raven Wing:''' Our brother is quiet and reserved, but this is not because he has no opinions. No... he believes action speaks louder than words, and if his absolute disappointment of anything should be made known, a sanction makes a better statement than a speech.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: His views on the Talon Bàis kingdom's atrocities against innocent dragons -- like [[EatsBabies making dishes out of fertilized but unhatched Dragon eggs]] -- is summarized in the complete obliteration of an entire city in the kingdom (which incidentally made said Draco-Balut dishes) during the Talon Bais War by the Dark Angels chapter through mass sustained aerial bombardment, after the few innocents in the city were evacuated by elements of the Raven Guard.
* UndyingLoyalty: As his personal motto attests, despite his flaws, he is unambiguously loyal to his father, his family and the Terran Empire, and requires no recognition or reward for it.

[[folder:Prince Death Shroud, the Avatar of Resilience]]
!!!'''Classification:''' Ascendant/Elemental
!!!'''Portfolio:''' Death, Resilience, Poison, Chemistry
!!!'''Rank:''' Demigod

Prince Death Shroud is the Alicorn demigod of Death, Resilience, Poison, and Chemistry, and is the twelfth-born son of Emperor Golden Scepter.

* AdaptationalBadass: While Mortarion is a badass Primarch in canon, here as Death Shroud, he's a powerful, legitimate ''demigod'' who managed to achieve his own Ascension. He has the potential to become a full-on divine like his [[PhysicalGod father]] if he chooses to.
* AdaptationalHeroism: [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Mortarion]] betrayed the Emperor of Mankind during the Literature/HorusHeresy out of extreme bitterness and resentment towards his "father"/gene-sire, and became a Chaos champion of Nurgle. Here, Death Shroud is a benevolent demi-Alicorn Prince because his father, Golden Scepter, raised him and his brothers with love, ensuring that a similar catastrophe would never happen and thus never giving Death Shroud a reason to turn traitor.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: He's an Alicorn demigod who embodies Death, Resilience, Poison, and Chemistry.
* AssassinOutclassin: In one incident a Griffon Autorist tried assassinating Golden Scepter for opposing the Autorist movement by sending him a magical plague bomb. Fortunately, Death Shroud would stop and contain the plague bomb before it could kill his father, though its smell was so rotten that he [[ClusterFBomb unleashed a bunch of inflammatory curses]] in response.
* ClusterFBomb: In one incident, he unleashed a bunch of inflammatory curses after he stopped and contained the plague bomb a Griffon Autorist sent to assassinate Golden Scepter, but wasn't fast enough to avoid its rotten smell.
* CoolUncle: Implied; he loves his adoptive niece, Mercy, despite her being a [[EmpathicWeapon sapient divine sword]]. And like his older/younger brothers, he is willing to [[PapaWolf protect her]] from the Poenan Pantheon that seeks to turn Mercy into a holy weapon in their zealous crusades.
* DivineParentage: Is the twelfth demi-divine son of [[PhysicalGod Emperor Golden Scepter]] and Blessed Skies, a mortal pegasus mare. This would make him LongLived until he Ascended and became an Alicorn demigod.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Like his brothers, he Ascended and became an Alicorn demigod at some point in his life. This is a stark contrast to [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Mortarion]], who became a [[DemonOfHumanOrigin Daemon Prince of Nurgle]].
* {{Expy}}: Of [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Mortarion]].
* HeroicLineage: He is the twelfth son of Golden Scepter, an antediluvian Alicorn Emperor who is an incredibly powerful psychic, a peerless genius and warrior, and a very competent leader who founded three empires in his lifetime. In addition, he's regarded as a legendary war hero even among the Alicorns, who were all saved from complete extinction thanks to his efforts. If his being inspired by [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Mortarion]] is to go by, he supposedly embodies Golden Scepter's resilience.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: From what little was shown of him, he seems to be more foul-mouthed and vindictive than most of his brothers. At the very least, he was more willing to personally punish those who have wronged people close to him, [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight rules be damned]].
* LaserGuidedKarma: He and his brothers, Red Blade and Fanged Paw, would team up to give a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Crimson Star to [[KickTheSonOfABitch punish him]] for being an InsufferableGenius, even after the latter was blinded and suffered an emotional breakdown following his JerkassRealization. They ended up attracting the wrath of Blazing Hoof, [[BigBrotherInstinct who would physically confront them in a brotherly fury]], as well as [[PapaWolf Golden Scepter]], who was ''furious'' with them that he [[EmotionBomb psychically showed his sons the torment Crimson Star was going through following his accident]].
* TheMagnificent: Known as "the Avatar of Resilience".
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Is the twelfth-born son out of Golden Scepter and Blessed Skies' demi-divine children, and has eleven older brothers and seven younger brothers.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: It's revealed in a Codexverse drabble that he and his brothers, Red Blade and Fanged Paw, teamed up to deliver one to Crimson Star to [[KickTheSonOfABitch punish him]] for being an InsufferableGenius, even after Crimson Star was blinded. It's deconstructed in that Crimson Star fell into a severe depression following his loss of sight and his JerkassRealization, and willingly turned himself into a scapegoat so everyone, including his own brothers, can retaliate against him as they saw fit, [[DeathSeeker not caring if he'll possibly die or not]]. This made his brothers' retaliation against him at this point rather vicious, disproportionate and petty, something that would earn them the wrath of their [[PapaWolf father]], and the cold shoulder of those of their brothers who didn't agree with them.
* PapaWolf: He was ''furious'' over the implications that Rosy Dreams was {{Mind Rape}}ed by her father Sweet Words via creating 'The Chaser' with dream magic, and proceeded to head over to the dungeons to personally punish Sweet Words for his perverse cruelty. This leads to a physical quarrel with his brothers as they try to prevent him from doing anything rash, causing ''Codex Equus'' interviewer Jade Shell to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere retreat back into her tortoise shell]].
* PayEvilUntoEvil:
** He believed that bullying Crimson Star for being an InsufferableGenius was justified. It's deconstructed in that even after Crimson Star was blinded in a carriage accident and fell into a severe depression after his JerkassRealization, his brothers continued bullying and tormenting him. It got to a point where Crimson Star willingly turned himself into a scapegoat so everyone, including his own brothers, can retaliate against him as they saw fit, [[DeathSeeker not caring if he'll possibly end up dying or not]]. His actions would earn the wrath of their father, Golden Scepter, and the cold shoulder of those of their brothers who were rightly disgusted and angry with them.
** It's rumored that he once begged Golden Scepter to let him punish [[SadistTeacher Trench Bull]] himself for all the horrible things she had done to her own students. As Trench Bull was already tried and imprisoned for life for her crimes, Golden Scepter refused and nipped his son's plan in the bud.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Discussed. [[spoiler:A heated argument with Written Word later causes Golden Scepter to wonder if all of his sons, including Death Shroud, are reincarnations of the same Generals that he had "treated so poorly". Luminiferous assures him that even if they are, all of his sons are still unique individuals with their own thoughts and feelings, and he has enough knowledge and experience to ensure that they'll have the "brighter future" that his Generals did not]].
* SemiDivine: Has a demi-divine heritage by virtue of his father, Golden Scepter, being an extremely ancient and powerful Alicorn god. After he Ascended, he himself became an Alicorn demigod, the Codexverse equivalent of an infant divine.
* SuperToughness: As a demigod of Resilience, he has divine levels of super-equine endurance, which is helped by his heritage as a grandson of Profectus Equus/Iridium Signet, one of the Thirteen Empyreans, through his father, Emperor Golden Scepter. His endurance would help him [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/869479644/4951903251 win a fight with an evil, Autorists/Tribalist-aligned demigod]] during the during the "Terra Equus Continental War", [[VictoryByEndurance outlasting his opponent through sheer force of will]] despite the demigod having the power to reflect his own attacks back at him through his own domain of Reflection. However, while he won, he spent much of the war recovering from all the damage he endured, something which his older/younger brothers would chide him for out of worry.
* TookALevelInKindness: Implied; entries mention that he was initially willing to punish Crimson Star for being an InsufferableGenius by joining his brothers' NoHoldsBarredBeatdown. However, after being called out by his father and brothers for his actions, he eventually learned the error of his ways and became a benevolent Prince, Ascending to demi-godhood in the process.
* VictoryByEndurance: [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/869479644/4951903251 During a fight with an evil demigod allied with Autorist and Tribalist factions]], he takes all the demigod's hits as well as his own attacks that were reflected by the demigod's domain of Reflection. He ends up winning, partially thanks to his own domain of Resilience and partially due to his demigod opponent being far less resilient and strong-willed than him. His victory contributed to the allied anti-Autorist/Tribalist forces' overall victory, but spent much of the war recovering from all the damage he received, something which his older/younger brothers would chide him for out of worry.
* WhatTheHellHero: Both on the giving and receiving ends.
** He would be given the cold shoulder by those of his brothers who were rightly disgusted and angry with how he treated Crimson Star after he was blinded in a carriage accident.
** Later, sometime after Ascending to demi-godhood, he would join a few of his brothers in calling out Night Shade for siding with the [[KnightTemplar Poenan Pantheon]] when they catch him participating in a Poenan crusade, as well as the general hypocrisy of Night Shade's morals and actions. Death Shroud's speech is particularly damning.

Prince Whirling Cyclone is the fourteenth-born son of Emperor Golden Scepter, and a demi-Alicorn Prince of the Terran Empire.

* HiddenDepths: While very much a WarriorPrince who prefers hunting and battling over politics, deep down he is a cultured, intelligent, and perceptive stallion. This echoes Primarch Jaghatai Khan, who was distrusted by much of the Imperium for his 'barbarian' ways and preferred to avoid dealing with local politics, but was a rather insightful man.

* NecessarilyEvil: While he's the least comfortable with politics and governance out of all his biological/adoptive siblings, instead preferring the thrills of battle and hunting, he believes that lying is necessary for even the most noble of sovereigns/leaders to rule wisely.
--> '''Prince Whirling Cyclone:''' It is said by many, myself included, that all rulers are liars. But that is not as damning as the saying suggests - necessity and circumstances often meant even the most noble and honourable sovereign or leader must sometimes make compromises in order to govern and command wisely.\\\
And sometimes, though it loathes me to say so, it is necessary for a ruler to deceive, even those under their rule, either to achieve a better outcome otherwise impossible, or because some truths had to be buried because few could bear the burden of responsibility which comes with the knowledge.
* RousingSpeech: He [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/873294164/4909755348 gave one]] to his military chapter, the White Scars, before they launch into yet another battle against the Vile Horde from the Frightlands.
--> '''Whirling Cyclone:''' Brothers of the steppes! Sisters of the plains! Take heed, for another great hunt calls to us once again! Truly, there are few like us - the red haze of battle is our stable, and the respect of comrades is our hearth. When we plunge into our enemies' ranks like a blade, and cut off their heads, we shall know contentment. My father has given us strength - and from us, we shall give him '''''VICTORY!'''''

[[folder:Prince Red Blade, the Master of Wrath]]
!!!'''Classification:''' Ethereal/Ascendant
!!!'''Portfolio:''' Martial Arts, Freedom, Temperance
!!!'''Rank:''' Demigod

-> ''"Through self-restraint, we become good. Through self-discipline, we remind ourselves why we remain good. By applying both of these truths, we can break away from even our own worst flaws and vices, and obtain true freedom."''

Prince Red Blade (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-28-823732910 here]]) is the Alicorn demigod of Martial Arts, Freedom, and Temperance, and is the sixteenth-born son of Emperor Golden Scepter.

* AdaptationalBadass: Primarch Angron was a powerful, vicious warrior, but a weak "[[PsychicPowers psyker]]" who lost his empathic powers when the Butcher's Nails were implanted into him, [[DiscardAndDraw replaced with the ability is to inspire raging bloodlust in his followers]]. Here, Red Blade is a powerful Alicorn demigod with stronger psychic powers, with massive potential to become even more powerful once he Ascends to true godhood. Not having the Butcher's Nails, and having to learn self-discipline and restraint, turned him into a very effective warrior with a clearer mind.
* AdaptationalHeroism: [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Angron]] had the [[LostTechnology Butcher's Nails]] implanted on him at a young age to turn him into a powerful gladiator. As a result, he became a bloodthirsty, rage-driven horror who literally could only think of fighting, and was the first of the Primarchs to side with Chaos (though part of it was due to Lorgar wanting to save his brother's life). By contrast, Red Blade didn't get the Butcher's Nails and thus never had a reason to betray his family, though he did start off as a BullyHunter who gradually veered into KnightTemplar territory. A series of events made him realize how dangerous anger can get if left uncontrolled, pushing him to practice self-discipline and restraint as a way to temper his anger.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Primarch Angron was a bloodthirsty, rage-driven horror thanks to the Butcher's Nails planted in his head, and he deeply resented the Emperor of Mankind for not letting him die alongside his fellow slave gladiators. By contrast, Red Blade was a shy yet kindhearted foal who became a BullyHunter to protect the weak, but slowly let his anger influence him to where he became a bully himself. After personally witnessing the consequences of uncontrolled wrath, passion, and zealotry, he started practicing self-discipline and restraint, turning him into a stoic and serious yet benevolent demigod.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: He's an Alicorn god who embodies Martial Arts, Freedom, and Temperance. It's believed in-universe that he embodies Golden Scepter's terrible wrath, which might explain his anger issues and the lengths he took to control himself after realizing this.
* AnAxeToGrind: Much like Angron, his primary weapons are [[DualWielding a pair of axes]].
* BadassAndChildDuo: He's a demi-Alicorn WarriorPrince with lots of experience and power under his hooves. Mercy, a sentient divine sword who would become his weapon and adoptive "daughter", has the mind of a child and a filly's voice to match. It's noted that they travel together a lot, taking down tyrannical kingdoms and realms.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Inverted.
** One of his older brothers, Palatine Phoenix, was corrupted by malicious outside forces. Supernatural elements aside, the circumstances behind it fueled his initial distrust of his adoptive daughter, Mercy, but he eventually grew to love and accept her for who she is.
** He would go through this again when both he and Clear Voice found Steel Barricade trying to [[DrivenToSuicide killing himself]] out of guilt and self-loathing towards his own mistakes. While they successfully stopped him, Steel Barricade still harmed himself to where he was hospitalized for his injuries.
* BullyHunter: Deconstructed. He became one after being subjected to constant bullying and then later catching his bullies tormenting a disabled student. While his actions made him feared and respected, his family was worried that his anger would lead him down a bad path. Their fears would be proven true when he, Fanged Paw, and Death Shroud gave a blinded Crimson Star a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown following his carriage accident. He was exiled by Golden Scepter as punishment, but he was still convinced he was right. Meeting the [[KnightTemplar Poenan Pantheon]] and seeing their similarly zealous wrath left him shaken, but it wasn't until he inspired a bloody revolution in a tyrannical kingdom that got out of control that he [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone finally realized]] the source of his family's concerns. He swore never to let his emotions and wrath run loose again, triggering his Ascension.
* ChildrenRaiseYou: While he TookALevelInKindness during his exile by realizing how harmful his anger can be and how he had been an awful person to Crimson Star, his entry notes that what humanized him even further was becoming Mercy's adoptive "father". Initially, Red Blade had no idea how to take care of a child, much less a sapient divine sword, and heavily relied on his father and brothers for help. In addition, he also distrusted Mercy because previously, one of his older brothers, Palatine Phoenix, was [[DemonicPossession possessed]] by a demonic sword he had acquired at one point. Eventually, Red Blade came to love Mercy as his own daughter and helped her deal with issues such as her fear of killing and her sense of abandonment after Silver Bane left her behind, and he would gain a newfound sense of maturity from the experience. This led to him clashing with his more mischievous brothers because he disapproves of the influence they have on Mercy.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: An invoked in-universe example. His entry notes that because of his relationship with [[TalkingWeapon Mercy]], he has often been the subject of harassment and slander for the Clovenists, who tried painting him as a "mad" stallion in their attempts to make him and his family look like incompetent tyrants that must be overthrown for the good of all. Thankfully, he and Mercy have a lot of people willing to protect them from the Clovenists and prevent said group from doing anything dangerous.
* CurbstompBattle:
** Completely unimpressed with an unrepentantly evil champion who [[{{Flynning}} whirls his]] [[IntimidationDemonstration weapon dramatically]] at him like fighting warriors in movies, Prince Red Blade [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome just easily broke through his flashy weapon twirl]] and [[CombatPragmatist unceremoniously stabbed him in the chest]] with a sword he picked up as a trophy from an earlier battle, then [[OffWithHisHead cut his head off]] while said champion is still reeling from his mortal wounding. His brother Prince Palatine Phoenix, who watched from the sidelines, was rather [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/873294164/4908798772 disappointed]] the whole duel ended in less than five seconds.
--> '''Prince Palatine Phoenix''' Well... that was anti-climatic.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: He was originally a mortal demi-divine Earth pony until he Ascended to demi-godhood by realizing the consequences of bearing irrational rage and hatred, and learning how to control himself and his allies through self-restraint and discipline.
* DivineParentage: He's the sixteenth demi-divine son of [[GodEmperor Emperor Golden Scepter]] and Blessed Skies, a mortal pegasus mare. This would make him LongLived until he Ascended and became an Alicorn demigod.
* DreadlockWarrior: Unlike [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Angron]], who looked like he had dreadlocks due to the [[LostTechnology Butcher's Nails]], he has a mane and tail that are both styled into dreadlocks, which turned into perpetually looping molten lava once he Ascended to demi-godhood. His entry describes him as one of the most combat-oriented Terran Princes, as he embodies Martial Arts on top of being an experienced warrior, leader, and revolutionary.
* DualWielding: His main weapons are [[AnAxeToGrind a pair of axes]], though his entry notes that he had sometimes used swords as well.
* ElementalHairComposition: His mane and tail are now composed of perpetually looping molten lava. Ironically, he doesn't have elemental powers like a few of his brothers despite this, though it's likely symbolic of his self-control over his wrathful nature.
* EscapeArtist: As the Alicorn demigod of Freedom, he cannot be held down, imprisoned, or restrained. This is because his domain of Freedom gives him an innate, psychic knowledge of who or what is holding him, allowing him to break free of almost anything. As part of his domain, he can inspire people to become this ''en masse'' with {{Rousing Speech}}es and empower them with the power and knowledge to free themselves. However, it will not work if people willingly choose not to free themselves. His entry notes that his domain of Freedom is similar to Choice's domain of Free Will, which makes him very dangerous; many people have tried persuading him to use his Freedom domain for unsavory goals such as freeing sapientkind from "evil". He either responds with a damning refusal, or [[TalkToTheFist a hoof to the face]].
* TheEmpath: Like [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Angron]] pre-Butcher's Nails, he has psychic empathy, except here it's due to being the Alicorn demigod of Temperance, and his empathy is much more powerful. He can produce an empathic aura that ebbs negative emotions like rage, envy, and lust, and encourages people to become kinder and more virtuous. This aura also makes him a calming and relaxing presence for both his hot-tempered brothers and those who are inclined to anger, such as Yarost, the Bogolenya Deer god of Fury and Hatred. Like his father, Golden Scepter, he can "[[EmotionBomb emotion-bomb]]" people with the suffering they have inflicted on others with their actions.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Angron]], though much of his character and backstory takes heavy influence from [[Fanfic/TheRoboutianHeresy RH!Angron]].
* FourStarBadass: Much like Angron, he is the military leader of his own military chapter, the World Eaters, and he is a powerful demi-Alicorn Prince of the Terran Empire, able to lead his forces and even kick ass by himself.
* GoodParents: [[ParentsAsPeople For all his flaws]], he nevertheless tried to be the loving father [[TalkingWeapon Mercy]] needed in the absence of her original wielder and ParentalSubstitute, Silver Bane. He helped her understand that [[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou Silver Bane had to leave her behind to protect her from the Poenan Pantheon]], and he helped her get over her fear of killing by teaching her that killing is only acceptable if people are being genuinely evil and unrepentant, with no other way to resolve things peacefully. While he's very protective of Mercy due to the Poenan Pantheon's efforts in taking her back, and is disapproving of his mischievous brothers' influence on her, he's also very proud of Mercy and her accomplishments, and lets Mercy accompany him on his travels and assist him in toppling tyrannical regimes. His kindness as a father is what influenced Mercy to become a benevolent hero and a weapon of "true" Justice.
** In a Codexverse drabble, he also comforted Mercy when she started feeling sad over not being an Alicorn like her adoptive father, uncles, and grandfather, since as a sword she wouldn't be able to hug people. It's noted that he still gave Mercy a big hug anyway.
---> '''Mercy:''' ...I wish I was an Alicorn like you, Papa.\\
'''Prince Red Blade:''' And why is that, Mercy?\\
'''Mercy:''' ...I wanna hug you better...\\
'''Prince Red Blade:''' Oh, Mercy... even if you aren't an Alicorn or you can't hug me better, I'll still love you very much. You are my daughter, and nothing will ever change that.\\
'''Mercy:''' ...Promise?\\
'''Prince Red Blade:''' I promise.
* GuiltComplex: His entry notes that sometime after he Ascended to demi-godhood, Red Blade developed a guilt complex over some of his actions, such as starting a bloody revolt in a series of despotic kingdoms after losing his temper over the rulers' tyranny, and leaving his own brother, Crimson Star, near death for acting like an InsufferableGenius. Red Blade's guilt over Crimson Star became especially significant when he learned that his mistreatment of him partially led to Crimson Star becoming permanently blind sometime after he was injured in a carriage accident. He eventually got over it, though, and it was noted that he was surprised when Crimson Star forgave him and never once blamed him for his blindness, which he saw as a punishment for his own foolishness.
* HeroicLineage: He is the sixteenth son of Golden Scepter, an antediluvian Alicorn Emperor who is an incredibly powerful psychic, a peerless genius and warrior, and a very competent leader who founded three empires in his lifetime. In addition, he's regarded as a legendary war hero even among the Alicorns, who were all saved from complete extinction thanks to his efforts. If his being inspired by [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Angron]] is to go by, he supposedly embodies Golden Scepter's fury.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Subverted. While he has sometimes used swords, his main weapons are [[DualWielding a pair of axes]].
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: It's noted that he became a BullyHunter out of a genuine desire to protect everyone from being bullied like he was. However, he later let his righteous anger twist itself into something monstrous, causing him to become no better than the bullies he went after when he joined Fanged Paw and Death Shroud in [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating up Crimson Star]] for his arrogant and disdainful treatment. Even worse, Crimson Star had been blinded saving a classmate in a carriage accident, when what started Red Blade's crusade against bullying was him witnessing his bullies picking on a disabled classmate.
* ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: Subverted. He was an adult by the time he Ascended, but as an Alicorn demigod, he is the divine equivalent to a newborn baby, due to the nature of divine growth in the Codexverse. Because he's the son of a very old and powerful Alicorn god, he already started showing eldritch traits such as a volcanic appearance and dreadlocks made of perpetually-looping molten lava.
* InstantExpert: His domain of Martial Arts gives him a natural intuition that allows him to learn and adapt to various fighting styles, making him one of the most combat-inclined Terran Princes. However, it's subverted in his statement that his domain does not guarantee "instant mastery", as he still needs practice and experience in order to use his newfound skills correctly and efficiently.
* LaserGuidedKarma: He and his brothers, Death Shroud and Fanged Paw, would gang up on Crimson Star after he was blinded and give him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to punish him for being an InsufferableGenius, even after the latter was blinded and suffered an emotional breakdown following his JerkassRealization. They ended up attracting the wrath of Blazing Hoof, [[BigBrotherInstinct who would physically confront them in a brotherly fury]], as well as [[PapaWolf Golden Scepter]], who was ''furious'' with them that he [[EmotionBomb psychically showed his sons the torment Crimson Star was going through following his accident]].
* LikeASonToMe: After receiving the [[TalkingWeapon sentient sword]], Mercy, from Silver Bane, he started treating Mercy like his own daughter. This led to them having a close father-daughter relationship, along with Mercy being officially adopted by him as his "daughter".
* MagicHair: It's noted that post-Ascension, his dreadlocks turned into [[ElementalHairComposition perpetually looping molten lava]].
* TheMagnificent: Known as "the Master of Wrath", due to having taken control of his uncontrollable temper after realizing the consequences of letting his anger run loose, and repurposing it for beneficial uses instead.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Is the sixteenth-born son out of Golden Scepter and Blessed Skies' demi-divine children, and has fifteen older brothers and three younger brothers.
* MissingChild: This happens with his adoptive daughter Mercy twice.
** He, his older brother Prince Steel Barricade, and Sonic Song would experience this when Magical Hymn and [[TalkingWeapon Mercy]] simultaneously went missing during a meeting, and scrambled to find them both. They discovered they both wandered off to go play, only to encounter an evil demon that they both [[CurbStompBattle easily defeated]]. His entry reveals that he scolded Mercy for her actions afterwards.
---> '''Sonic Song:''' Wait, where's Miracle Hymn?\\
'''Prince Red Blade:''' And where's Mercy?\\
'''Prince Steel Barricade:''' So... we've got a super powerful divine magic sword with the mind of a child and a ten year old with the holy magic equivalent to an army missing at the same time.\\
'''Sonic Song:''' ...Find them, '''''NOW'''''.
** In a Codexverse drabble, both he and his brothers panicked after Mercy inexplicably went missing and spent some time looking for her. It turns out Mercy left home based on a joke made by Fanged Paw that she interpreted literally. Fortuantely, [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/823732910/4800804312 Golden Scepter found and took Mercy home after talking with her]].
* ModestRoyalty: It's noted he wears royal dark red regalia with bright red and gold accents, though he only dons it out of obligation and status identification, and will find an excuse not to wear it if he can.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: It's revealed in a Codexverse drabble, and confirmed in his entry, that he and his older brothers, Death Shroud, and Fanged Paw, teamed up to deliver one to Crimson Star to [[PayEvilUntoEvil punish him]] for being an InsufferableGenius, even after Crimson Star was blinded. It's deconstructed in that Crimson Star fell into such a severe depression following his loss of sight and his JerkassRealization that he became [[DeathSeeker suicidal]], and turned himself into a SilentScapegoat out of sheer guilt for his actions. This made his brothers' retaliation against him rather disproportionate and petty, something that would earn them the wrath of their father, and the cold shoulder by those of their brothers who didn't agree with them.
* NoSell: Much like Choice, the deity of Free Will, he has the ability to [[EscapeArtist escape from any attempts to restrain and/or imprison him]]. His entry explains this as being granted innate psychic knowledge of what or who is currently holding him, allowing him to figure out how to free himself.
* PapaWolf:
** Mercy's entry notes that once the Poenan Pantheon got wind of her [[TalkingWeapon sentience]], many of them immediately called for her purification, thinking she was "corrupted" by Silver Bane after he left the Poenan Pantheon and turned "evil". Naturally, this prompted Red Blade and his brothers to protect Mercy, even though the Poenans' purification magic isn't likely to affect Mercy at all due to a lack of corruption on her part.
** He also nearly lost his temper in the courtroom when Honey Bee informed him of Trench Bull's statement that she admired [[ShrinkingViolet Rosy Dreams]]' father, "[[AbusiveParents Mr. Boar]]", for his use of dream magic to keep his young daughter in line, and desired to "shake his hoof".
* ParentalSubstitute: Mercy's entry implies that he became a father figure of sorts for the [[TalkingWeapon sentient sword]], as it's mentioned he began treating Mercy "like his own daughter" after she was given into his care by her previous wielder, Silver Bane the Dark Hunter. It worked, as Mercy became as benevolent as him despite being originally a divine Poenan weapon.
* ParentsAsPeople: He genuinely didn't expect to become the father of [[TalkingWeapon Mercy]], but he had to be one in light of Silver Bane leaving her in his care to protect Mercy from the [[KnightTemplar Poenan Pantheon]]. At first, he distrusted Mercy due to being a reminder of the demonic sword that [[DemonicPossession possessed]] Palatine Phoenix, and he heavily relied on his father and his older/younger brothers for help. Eventually, he grew to love and accept Mercy for who she is, and helped her deal with any issues she may have had, such as her fear of killing and her abandonment issues involving [[ParentalSubstitute Silver Bane]]. While he's quite protective of Mercy due to the Poenans' efforts to take her back, and is often frustrated with the influence his more mischievous brothers have on her, he's also extremely proud of Mercy and lets her accompany him on his travels, acting as his assistant in toppling tyrannical regimes. His kindness as a father played a role in Mercy's growth into a benevolent hero and a weapon of "true" Justice, and for her heroic deeds, she was later christened "the Eater of Worlds" to replace the title of "the Holy Blade" the Poenans gave her.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: He believed that bullying Crimson Star for being an InsufferableGenius was justified. It's deconstructed in that even after Crimson Star was blinded in a carriage accident and fell into a severe depression afterwards because of his JerkassRealization, Red Blade and his brothers continued bullying and tormenting him. It got to a point where Crimson Star became suicidal and turned himself into a scapegoat out of sheer guilt, [[DeathSeeker not caring if he'll possibly end up dying or not]]. Red Blade's actions would earn the wrath of their father, [[PapaWolf Golden Scepter]], who would exile him as punishment, and the cold shoulder of his brothers who were rightly disgusted and angry with him. Blazing Hoof in particular was ''furious'' with Red Blade since he remembers how the latter was constantly bullied as a foal, so seeing Red Blade beat up Crimson Star and leave him near death made Red Blade no different than the bullies who tormented him in Blazing Hoof's eyes.
* PsychicPowers: His entry notes that he has psionic telekinesis that was taught to him by Golden Scepter, which proves incredibly useful if for some reason he can't use the magical telekinesis that is extremely common among unicorns. And as the Alicorn demigod of Temperance, he has telepathic and empathic abilities that allow him to ebb negative emotions and discourage harmful mindsets, and like Blue Suede Heartstrings, the Alicorn god of Humility, he possesses a form of [[{{Seers}} precognition]] that shows him a person's future depending on the actions they take.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He would give a Clovenist ambassador and their embassy one during a diplomatic meeting, after they implored him to join them and free the Terran Empire from his father's "tyranny". It's noted that this led to an attack on the Terran Empire by Clovenist insurgents that several people, including Prince Crimson Star and Jasper, helped resolve.
--> '''Prince Red Blade:''' ''(to a diplomatic Clovenist embassy)'' Free my people from tyranny? I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill your request for three reasons. The first is that the 'tyrant' you want me to overthrow is my Father. Even though our relationship is not perfect, I still love him with all my heart, and I am willing to defend him with my life if need be. The second is that I embody Temperance in all things; though Father is wise and benevolent, even he is not infallible, and it's up to me and others like me to remind him the folly of indulging in certain extremes.\\\
The third reason is that your request to 'free' my people from 'tyranny' is as backwards as it is wrong.\\\
My Father may have created lots of... mistakes in the past, but he realized his folly long ago and made huge efforts in atoning for them. If he hadn't, this empire you wanted to see destroyed would not have been born, and I certainly wouldn't be here holding this conversation with you. You, on the other hoof, accuse others of indulging in tyranny without finding proof of actual tyranny, and convert the people you conquer to a philosophy that is flawed to begin with, all while refusing to acknowledge that there might be tyranny growing and festering in your own lands. It is a mindset that stinks of hypocrisy, which makes you and your people no better than the tyrants my daughter and I face every day, or the Poenans who zealously seek the eradication of Evil itself by unjustly punishing those who are innocent or who have yet to commit evil acts.\\\
I may embody Freedom, but in all honesty, I would rather jump off a cliff than ally myself with a nation that boasts of holding certain values that it refuses to follow. You can call me anything you want, but know that if I catch any of you indulging in the same tyranny that you fervently oppose, then Mercy and I will not hesitate to deal with you as we had dealt with other tyrants in the past. Consider this diplomatic meeting over.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Averted. He's described as a black-furred Earth pony (and later Alicorn demigod) with red gradients on his legs, underbelly, hair, and face. While not evil, he was far more vindictive and temperamental when he was younger, as he reacted violently towards anyone who displayed bullying and/or tyrannical behavior, including one of his younger brothers, Crimson Star. This behavior initially attracted the Poenan Pantheon to him, but he refused, earning their undying enmity. He eventually changed his ways when a slave revolt he inspired got way out of hand and led to the deaths of innocent people, including a despotic royal family's young foals, causing him to realize that his anger was taking down a dark path and nearly cost him everything.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Discussed. [[spoiler:A heated argument with Written Word later causes Golden Scepter to wonder if all of his sons, including Red Blade, are reincarnations of the same Generals that he had "treated so poorly". Luminiferous assures him that even if they are, all of his sons are still unique individuals with their own thoughts and feelings, and he has enough knowledge and experience to ensure that they'll have the "brighter future" that his Generals did not]].
* RousingSpeech: As the Alicorn demigod of Freedom, he can rouse and inspire people with his speeches, with the additional ability of granting them the power and knowledge to free themselves from any situation.
* {{Seers}}: His entry notes that as the Alicorn demigod of Temperance, he possesses a form of precognition that shows him a person's future depending on the actions they take. This allows him to warn people of the consequences of pursuing vice, while encouraging good actions. It's noted by his entry that his precognition is heavily similar to Blue Suede Heartstrings' Humility-based precognition in this regard, except Blue focuses on discouraging unchecked Pride.
* SemiDivine: He has a demi-divine heritage by virtue of his father, Golden Scepter, being an extremely ancient and powerful Alicorn god. After he Ascended, he became an Alicorn demigod, the Codexverse equivalent of an infant divine.
* SinkOrSwimFatherhood: He quite unexpectedly became the adoptive father of [[TalkingWeapon Mercy]] when Silver Bane arrived and left Mercy in his care to protect her from the [[KnightTemplar Poenan Pantheon]]. While he initially had no idea how to raise a child and also distrusted Mercy due to being reminded of the demonic sword that possessed Palatine Phoenix, it's subverted in that he heavily relied on his father and brothers for help on parenting. He does eventually learn to love and accept Mercy for who she is, and he mans up and takes care of her on his own, causing him to be quite mature than some of his brothers.
* SoProudOfYou: His entry notes that while he's quite protective of Mercy due to the Poenan Pantheon constantly pursuing her, he's extremely proud of his adoptive "daughter" and lets her accompany him on his global travels. He was also proud when Mercy took it upon herself to be a "[[CoolBigSis big sister]]" for Rosy Dreams, a young filly who was adopted by Bright Eyes after she was rescued from her sexually abusive biological father, which helped Rosy Dreams recover from her trauma.
** And when Mercy did a BadassBoast during a confrontation with the mortal followers of one of the Poenan deities who helped craft her, it was noted that Red Blade was extremely proud of her for her defiance.
* TheStoic: Justified. He carries himself with a stoic and calm demeanor because he witnessed and realized the harmful consequences of letting his anger run loose, and swore never to let it happen again. But unlike Steel Barricade, who tries to repress all his negative emotions whenever he gets upset, he acknowledges the positive applications of anger and shows it when warranted. This makes him far more emotionally-adjusted than his brother.
* {{Telepathy}}: His entry notes that his domain of Temperance gives him telepathic abilities, allowing him to encourage virtuous mindsets while discouraging sinful thoughts.
* TookALevelInJerkass: He UsedToBeASweetKid when he was younger, but constant bullying wore away at him until he became a BullyHunter, especially after he caught some of his bullies picking on a disabled classmate. His righteous anger towards bullies slowly turned into irrational hatred for them, which culminated in him joining Fanged Paw and Death Shroud in ganging up on a blinded Crimson Star and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating him up]] as payback for acting like an InsufferableGenius. Even after he was punished and exiled by Golden Scepter, he still believed he was in the right, and would [[WalkingTheEarth travel around Equus]], freeing innocent people from those he thought were abusing them.
* TookALevelInKindness: Eventually, his turning points would be his encounters with the [[KnightTemplar Poenan Pantheon]], whose approval of his methods made him wonder if they only liked him because he was so ruthless, and instigating a series of revolts in a realm of mountainous kingdoms. Upon discovering that the local rulers were forcibly implanting [[LostTechnology Butcher's Nails]] onto their slaves to be used for blood sport, Red Blade led the people in a bloody revolution, which continued until his followers massacred the royal families, [[WouldHurtAChild down to their innocent young children]]. This caused Red Blade to snap out of his anger and realized the harm he had inflicted on others, including Crimson Star, with his irrational hatred, which made him swear never to let his emotions run loose again, leading to his Ascension to demi-godhood. Later, he would become a loving adoptive father figure for Mercy, a sentient divine Poenan sword who was left in his care by Silver Bane to protect her from the Poenan Pantheon.
* WhatTheHellHero: He would receive an ''epic'' calling-out from [[BigBrotherInstinct Blazing Hoof]], who was angry with him for [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating up]] Crimson Star after he was blinded and leaving him near death, therefore [[HeWhoFightsMonsters becoming no better than the bullies who picked on him]]. It doesn't sink in until much, ''much'' later.
--> '''Prince Blazing Hoof:''' ''(to Prince Red Blade)'' I remember protecting you and walking with you to school so those BULLIES wouldn't attack you! I remember comforting you while Forging Scale put bandages on your wounds whenever you came back home CRYING and BRUISED! By Equus, I even remember Written Word looking after you when you came down with that nasty fever and nearly DIED from it! What HAPPENED to that quiet, kindhearted brother I used to know, Red Blade?! '''''WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?!'''''
* WingedUnicorn: He became an Alicorn after realizing the harm he had wrought upon others by letting his righteous anger towards "bullies" of all kinds turn into irrational hatred, and learning self-restraint and discipline in order to control his anger. Currently he's a demigod, the divine equivalent of a newborn baby, though he has massive potential to Ascend to true godhood.

[[folder:Prince Raven Wing, the Dark Liberator]]
!!!'''Classification:''' Ascendant

\\
Prince Raven Wing is the Alicorn demigod of Freedom, Stealth, Darkness, and Rebels, and is the seventeenth-born son of Emperor Golden Scepter, and a demi-Alicorn Prince of the Terran Empire.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Implied. His name is ''Raven'' Wing, and his epithet is "the ''Dark'' Liberator", but he is a benevolent and heroic Terran Prince like his brothers.
* DivineParentage: Is the seventeenth demi-divine son of [[PhysicalGod Emperor Golden Scepter]] and Blessed Skies, a mortal pegasus mare. This would make him LongLived until he Ascended and became an Alicorn demigod.
* EatenAlive: A [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/865347817/4896457069 drabble]] revealed a fight with Prince Excelsius]], Vicearch Iniquitous' firstborn Princeling of Vice, ended with Raven Wing and four of his brothers being consumed and assimilated by Excelsius into his being to prevent them from interfering with one of Excelsius' Vicelieges and his allied overlords' plans, though he and his brothers managed to help break Prince Blazing Hoof and eventually themselves out. Raven Wing's domain of Freedom was instrumental in getting his eldest brother Prince Blazing Hoof out of Excelsius' body, as those gods with that domain are hard to imprison and may had been the reason they had ''any'' chance at escaping the Prince of Pride at all.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Corvus Corax]].
* HeroicLineage: He is the seventeenth son of Golden Scepter, an antediluvian Alicorn Emperor who is an incredibly powerful psychic, a peerless genius and warrior, and a very competent leader who founded three empires in his lifetime. In addition, he's regarded as a legendary war hero even among the Alicorns, who were all saved from complete extinction thanks to his efforts. If his being inspired by [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Corvus Corax]] is to go by, he supposedly embodies Golden Scepter's cleverness and tactical insight.
* TheMagnificent: Known as "the Dark Liberator".
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Is the seventeenth-born son out of Golden Scepter and Blessed Skies' demi-divine children, and has sixteen older brothers and two younger brothers.
* ThePrankster: Implied. In one incident, he teamed up with [[NotSoAboveItAll Clear Voice]] to play a prank on their oldest brother, Blazing Hoof. He also had Rosy Dreams' pet dog, Chubby, poop in Palatine Phoenix's bedroom. According to him, the only brother he doesn't prank is Crimson Star, who is blind, and because of this he considers pranking Crimson Star to be an extremely shameful act.
--> '''Prince Raven Wing:''' Me? Prank Crimson Star? No! My brother's blind! If I go prank him, I'll end up feeling really, really bad afterwards. Fanged Paw and I have declared him 'off-limits' for this reason.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Discussed. [[spoiler:A heated argument with Written Word later causes Golden Scepter to wonder if all of his sons, including Raven Wing, are reincarnations of the same Generals that he had "treated so poorly". Luminiferous assures him that even if they are, all of his sons are still unique individuals with their own thoughts and feelings, and he has enough knowledge and experience to ensure that they'll have the "brighter future" that his Generals did not]].

!!Prince Alpha Omega, the Coils of Deception
!!!'''Classification:''' Ascendant
!!!'''Portfolio:''' Subtefuge, Anonymity, [TBA]
!!!'''Rank:''' Demigod

* AdaptationalHeroism: Primarch Alpharious Omegon betrayed(?) the Imperium of Mankind after being persuaded by the Cabal to do so, based on claims that the Imperium would face stagnation and doom by the hands of the [[GodOfEvil Chaos Gods]] if the Emperor of Mankind won. Maybe. Here, while still the most deceptive and guile of the Terran Princes, he's loyal to his father, Emperor Golden Scepter, and undeniably on the side of good.
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Like Primarch Alpharius Omegon, Prince Alpha Omega is actually a name shared by identical twin brothers to make it appear they're one person in public.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Alpha Omega was apparently this in their youth, being both unconventionally cunning and incredibly mischievous, with a fondness for messing with their older and more stuck-up brothers like Prince Regal Scroll, Prince Clear Voice and even Prince Fanged Paw. [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/897831515/4963921195 One]] of the shenanigans they were often up to were stealing cookies and other treats from the palace kitchens, often pulling elaborate heists to get pass his brothers and whatever security and traps they put up to deter him. He later apparently [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/914602463/4992358858 pulled]] a similar prank with Prince Fanged Paw.
* TheDividual: It's [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/914602463/4992358858 noted]] that given some of the shenanigans and strategems Alpha Omega had pulled, it is believed by many (or at least those who believe Alpha Omega even exists) that it is as if Alpha Omega are two individuals who could be in more than one place at once, or [[MesACrowd even more than two]] if that's even possible. [[spoiler:Considering who Alpha Omega are an expy of, they may be more correct than they know.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Alpharius Omegon]].
* ShroudedInMyth: Prince Alpha Omega and their own military chapter (also called the 'Alpha Legion') are so mysterious and secretive [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/846620456/4955605297 that]] in-universe many doubt they even exists, and the 'Alpha Legion' in particular is considered little more than unverfied rumours and urban legends. This works to their advantage as they are masters of deception, misdirection and subtefuge, and being considered little more than rumours work well to hide their operations and potential while instilling endless paranoia and uncertainty upon their opponents.
* MasterOfDisguise: Alpha Omega is apparently this for himself and whoever is working for him, even in his youth. He once [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/897831515/4963921195 pretended]] to be a decoy of himself who is serving as a distraction while another disguised as him pretends to have acquired what he want and runs off, drawing his older brothers away on a wild goose chase while he was left behind to take what he wanted.

-> [Insert Quote here]
\\
Prince Mana Weaver (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-56-865347817 here]]) is the Alicorn god of Wizardry, Breaking Limits, and Humbling, and is a benevolent adoptive member of the Terran Royal Family.\\\

Once, he was a Unicorn with Earthpony heritage who dreamt of becoming a wizard, but was ostrasized by teachers and classmates alike for being a halfbreed whose blood, 'diluted' with those of non-Unicorn tribes, automatically makes him inferior in both magic and worth, leaving him depressed and despairing. However, the Starswirl of his time, outraged at the bigotry directed against Mana Weaver (seeing it as no different from the Tribalism that nearly destroyed them all in the 'Windigo Scourge'), took him as his student, encouraged him and helped him unlock his full potential, which combined with his determination to break his limits and show everyone what he can do, eventually caused him to surpass his bigoted teachers and peers in magic. His achievements in magic eventually earned him his godhood under the tutelage of Emperor Golden Scepter (who eventually adopted him as part of the extended Terran Royal Family), and to this day Mana Weaver remains in both his domain and character a living example that anyone can surpass expectations and achieve their dreams with enough will and luck, regardless of what others may think of them and their potential.
----
* AdoptedIntoRoyalty: He would become a Terran Prince by adoption after accepting Golden Scepter's offer to adopt him as his son. It's implied that he ended up outliving his birth parents when he became an Alicorn.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: He's an Alicorn god who embodies Wizardry, Breaking Limits, and Humbling.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's rather eccentric and flamboyant, which is thanks to possessing an equally eccentric mentor in his mortal youth, and often sings songs while humbling arrogant people. He also ''hates'' excessive pride and all types of discrimination, having been frequently mistreated by racist, elitist Unicorns for being an Earthpony/Unicorn hybrid.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Of all his adoptive royal Terran siblings, he would get along with Prince Crimson Star the most. This is due to Crimson Star possessing a scholarly nature, transcending the limitations of his blindness, and humbling himself after realizing that being an InsufferableGenius is wrong.
* BreakTheHaughty: Invoked and later weaponized by him.
** After finally receiving proper instruction in wizardry by his mentor, one of the Starswirls, he would participate in magic duels where he overpowered and defeated all of his old instructors and classmates who discriminated against him. In particular, he would utterly humiliate the one instructor who cruelly humiliated him previously by systemically dismantling all of his spells while giving him a stinging TheVillainSucksSong, exposing the older Unicorn as the prideful and bigoted person he really was. To further the humiliation, this was done in front of the royals who attended a meeting between the three Pony tribes.
** After becoming a student of Golden Scepter, he would Ascend as the Alicorn god of ''Humbling''. He has PsychicPowers that allow him to sense hubris in people and analyze the best way to shatter their bloated egos in order to make them see how their pride is unfounded. This makes him skilled in psychological warfar, making him a rather terrifying foe to face. His domain also allows him to feed off of people's hubris to become stronger and turn their own egos back on them.
* CurbStompBattle: After years of training under Starswirl, he would confront all of his former teachers and classmates during a meeting between the royals of the three Pony Tribes and defeat all of them, proving their beliefs about hybrids being magically 'inferior' wrong. In particular, he would humiliate the same Unicorn instructor who cruelly humiliated him years before, defeating him ''and'' singing a TheVillainSucksSong while doing it.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: He originally was a mortal Earthpony/Unicorn hybrid who was viciously mistreated and discriminated against by 'pure' Unicorns, who thought his heritage made him 'inferior' and magically 'weaker'. However, after training/proving himself to be a powerful mage under Starswirl's tutelage, he would be discovered and taken in as a student by Golden Scepter, who helped him Ascend first to [[SemiDivine demi-godhood]], then true godhood.
* FantasticSlurs: He was frequently called a 'half-dirt' Unicorn by racist, elitist 'pure-blooded' Unicorns for being an Earthpony/Unicorn hybrid when he was younger. [[FreudianExcuse It led to him developing hatred towards all types of discrimination]].
* FromZeroToHero: In his mortal youth, he was a Unicorn with half-Earth Pony heritage who was mercilessly and cruelly discriminated against by 'pure' Unicorns for existing, and was strongly discouraged from learning magic under the assumption that his mixed blood made his magic weak and therefore inferior. However, thanks to one of the Starswrils, he would become a wizard strong enough to completely wipe the floor with other 'pure' Unicorn mages after years of hard work. Becoming Golden Scepter's student later led to him Ascended to godhood as an Alicorn who specialized in helping people break past limits and [[BreakTheHaughty humbling]] arrogant {{Jerkass}}es.
* GenerationalMagicDecline: Due to racist/tribalist beliefs being common at the time, it's believed that him being a Unicorn with half-Earth Pony genes made his innate magic 'weaker', which made him inferior in the eyes of many 'pureblooded' Unicorns. However, it's averted since it's not his heritage that made his magic weak -- it was the actions of the prideful and racist Unicorns who denied him proper magic instruction out of disgust towards his mere existence. Once he becomes a student of one of the Starswirls, he proves himself to be an equally powerful and skilled wizard, allowing him to utterly humiliate both his instructors and classmates in magic duels for discriminating against him in the past.
* HalfBreedDiscrimination: Because interracial relationships between Pony tribes were still frowned upon at the time, he was frequently tormented and discriminated against for being a '[[FantasticSlurs half-dirt]]' Unicorn (i.e. a Unicorn with Earth Pony genes). This included being denied proper magical instruction and other opportunities to improve his station by his stubborn, elitist, and bigoted instructors. When one instructor utterly humiliated him by reading his paper to his entire class, mocking it while doing so, and then burning it with a fire spell, he was understandably tempted to leave entirely. Fortunately, he gained two mentors in Starswirl, who turned out to be much more tolerant and accepting, if very eccentric, and Golden Scepter, who was interested in his efforts to unite Ponykind and was responsible for ensuring his Ascension.
* HappilyAdopted: He would be adopted by Golden Scepter as a Terran Prince, after Golden Scepter went through more CharacterDevelopment and adopted several other deities until his family.
* ItsPersonal: His hatred of all types of discrimination, such as racism and elitism led to him taking a personal stake in the 'Terra-Equus Continental Wars, which saw the participation of many Tribalists, Autorists, and corrupt nobility.
* MagicHair: Post-Ascension, his mane and tail became composed of orange magical energy.
* TheMagnificent: Known as "the Unbound Sorcerer".
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Inverted. It's implied he outlived his mortal parents after he became an Alicorn, which is why he accepted when Golden Scepter, after adopting several other deities in the the Terran Royal Family over the years, offered to become his adoptive father.
* PowerCopying: As a god of Wizardry, he possesses the ability to copy any spell. It's noted that many magically-attuned deities possess this ability also.
* RealMenWearPink: He originally wore wizard robes in emulation of one of the Starswirls, who was his mentor, but has since changed them to pink, sparkling robes to fit his own preferences more. This is because he finds pink to be his favorite color and he doesn't care about any preconceptions others might have about his choice in color.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: His TheVillainSucksSong is essentially one long scathing speech that he gives to the Unicorn instructor who cruelly humiliated him in front of his class for being '[[FantasticSlurs half-dirt]]', calling the instructor 'second-rate' for believing in the same bigoted teachings that attracted the Windigoes. After Ascending to godhood, he would travel the world, delivering humiliating speeches to excessively proud individuals in the form of song.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After he was utterly humiliated in front of his class by a particularly cruel, bigoted, and elitist instructor, he was understandably and sorely tempted to pack his bags and leave entirely. Fortunately, he ended up meating one of the Starswirls, who took him in as his student and trained him until he became an exceptionally powerful mage.
* SemiDivine: Under Golden Scepter's tutelage, he would eventually Ascend to demi-godhood. Then he Ascended to true godhood afterwards.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: While he later proved himself to be a powerful wizard, it still took years of hard training under Starswirl for him to reach that level because he was constantly denied proper magic instruction by his prideful, racist, and stubborn instructors.
* TheVillainSucksSong: He would deliver a scathing one to the instructor who cruelly humiliated him for being a 'half-dirt' Unicorn after defeating him in a magical duel. This exposed said instructor as the prideful, cruel, '[[WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar second-rate]]' bigot he really was.

\\
Queen Rhodonite Mirror, born Peachy (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-58-873294164 here]]), is the Alicorn goddess of Conscience, Ponykind, and Mirrors, as well as the first sapient Earthpony mare created by Emperor Golden Scepter.
----
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Peachy was a proto-''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' toy called ''My Pretty Pony''. Here, she's ''the'' first Earthpony mare created by Golden Scepter. Together with her husband Chestnut, the first Earthpony stallion, she became one of two progenitors of the Earthpony tribe. Like [[Literature/TheBible Adam and Eve]], Peachy and Chestnut were [[SecretTestOfCharacter tested by Golden Scepter to see if they would obey his rules]], and they seemingly failed thanks to Morning Star's secret sabotage... only for them to ''pass'' because neither Peachy or Chestnut wanted the other take full blame for their disobedience. They were both rewarded godhood, with their children being nurtured by Golden Scepter and his siblings in their evolution as a Pony tribe. Peachy participated in the "Twilight of the Alicorns" and survived being critically wounded by Morning Star thanks to Golden Scepter's timely intervention, but woke up from her healing hibernation to help Queen Majesty bring an end to the Imperium of Ponykind, after which she disappeared. Initially assumed to be dead, [[spoiler:she was actually on another planet, waiting for Golden Sceper, his family, and the rest of divine/mortal sapientkind to advance enough to reach the stars so they can reunite once again]].
* AdaptationalBadass: Peachy was a Pony mare created by Bonnie Zacherle in 1981 as a proto-''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' toy called ''My Pretty Pony''. Here, Peachy is ''the'' first modern Earthpony created by Golden Scepter, as well as the first true Pony Alicorn goddess (though at the time she initially appeared as a much larger Earth Pony due to the other Pony tribes not existing yet).
* AllLovingHero: She is a naturally kindhearted and friendly person both as mortal and as a god, seeing all of Ponykind as her children and wanting them to grow up and be as moral, forgiving and as responsible as she is.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's an Alicorn goddess who embodies Conscience, Ponykind, and Mirrors.
* CheerfulChild: As a filly, the first thing she did upon meeting Golden Scepter for the first time was boop his nose and giggle.
* TheConscience: As a goddess of Conscience, Peachy/Rhodonite Mirror is this, with the ability to trigger emotions of guilt and remorse which someone has buried, as well as sense their regrets and guilt. She can even force a conscience on [[TheSociopath those who lack them]].
* {{Expy}}: Of Peachy, the first Pony ever created and marketed in the ''"My Pretty Pony"'' toyline, which predates the ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' franchise. She's also a gender-inverted Expy for Adam, the first Human from ''Literature/BookOfGenesis'', being the first Pony ever created and experiencing a similar (but also divergent) 'GardenOfEden' story like Adam, along with her Eve the stallion Chestnut.
* {{Forgiveness}}: She was forgiven by Golden Scepter for eating the Fruit of Knowledge (having accepted responsibility for breaking his one rule and explaining why she did it), and forgave her adoptive father in turn for his dark turn during the Imperium Era.
* GardenOfEden: In their early youth, she and her mate Chestnut lived in a 'Garden' created by Golden Scepter and his triplet brothers to nurture and develop the sapience of early Ponykind. However, when they disobeyed Golden Scepter's rules and ate the Fruit of Knowledge upon being tempted by a disguised Morning Star, they were [[YouCantGoHomeAgain barred from living in the Garden]]... but were also simultaneously [[KarmicJackpot rewarded]] with [[DeityOfHumanOrigin godhood]] by Golden Scepter himself for their willingness to own up to their mistake. Unfortunately, the story of the eventbecame confused and distorted over the Ages, instead leaving the readers with the 'Second Age' version where they fail the test completely.
* KindheartedCatLover: Like in canon, she owned a pet cat named Twinkles. However, Twinkles is more accurately a prehistoric Felid, since cats as a species had not evolved yet.
* LastOfItsKind: Inverted. One of her titles as "the First Pony" came from her being the first Pony -- specifically, the Earthpony tribe -- to ever came to be thanks to the efforts of Golden Scepter and his siblings. This is why, when she Ascended, she has 'Ponykind' as one of her domains, along with all the associated powers and traits that come with the Pony tribes.
* LegendFadesToMyth: In the actual GardenOfEden story, both Peachy and Chestnut passed the SecretTestOfCharacter Golden Scepter gave to see if they are ready for the outside world and eventually be given immortality and godhood like Golden Scepter and the rest of the Alicorns, assuming responsibility for their own actions rather than denying and lying about it. Unfortunately, this got distorted over the ages due to being confused with similar stories or deliberate alteration by unscrupulous parties, until we got the 'canon' version widely propagated in the Magnean Religions of the 'Second Age' where they failed the test completely. Both Peachy/Rhodonite Mirror and Golden Scepter are ''not'' happy about it as they want Ponies to remember the actual version and be inspired to grow their potential, think for themselves and honestly accept responsibility for their own actions, rather than the distorted version used by elites and demagogues to stifle and exploit mortal potential by encouraging dogmatic faith and unthinking fanaticism of their followers and subjects through the doctrine of 'Original Sin', where all Ponies are born inheriting Peachy and Chestnut's 'Sin' and must 'atone' for their ancestors' transgression through unquestioned obedience/devotion.
* MagicHair: After Ascending to godhood, she gained a pink mane and tail made of reflective energy.
* MagicMirror: As a goddess of Mirrors, she possesses mirror magic, and thus could do things like turn her own body into a reflective surface to redirect energy or light attacks, travel and communicate through reflective surfaces at will, and send her attacks and limbs through mirrored surfaces to attack others as well as create reflection duplicates. When combined with her domain of Conscience, she can use reflective surfaces to reflect certain deeds that someone is guilty for, and force them to confront said deeds. In her mortal youth, she also owned a sapient mirror, which may have factored into her domain of Mirrors, and is a huge reason why Golden Scepter is very accepting of having a sapient sword like Mercy as his granddaughter.
--> '''Emperor Golden Scepter:''' ''(on Peachy and her magic mirror)'' And this is why having a sapient sword for a granddaughter did not surprise me.
* TheMagnificent:
** Pre-Ascension, she's known as "the First Pony" due to being the first Earthpony mare to be born sapient.
** Post-Ascension, she's known as "the Mother of All Ponies" due to being the biological mother of a multitude of Ponies, whose evolution Golden Scepter and his siblings would guide until their descendants became known as modern Ponykind.
* MeaningfulName:
** After being discovered, she was named "Peachy" by Golden Scepter, who noted her peach-colored fur and pink mane/tail.
** After Ascending to godhood, she would rename herself "Rhodinite Mirror". [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodonite Rhodonite]] is a (mostly) pinkcolored gemstone that represents compassion, love, and healing. The second part of her name refers to her domains of Mirrors and Conscience, referring to her desire to make people face the consequences of their actions out of genuine love.
* AMistakeIsBorn: She, along with Chestnut, would be seen as a 'mistake' by Morning Star, who saw Golden Scepter's creations as flawed abominations that must be destroyed to preserve the concept of perfection. He even tried sabotaging Golden Scepter's SecretTestOfCharacter by tempting Chestnut just to prove his point. During the 'Twilight of the Alicorns' event, after becoming a Fallen god, Morning Star succeeded in critically injuring her while she was protecting a group of Pony civilians, and she was only saved from dying because [[PapaWolf Golden Scepter]] reached her in time.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: She isn't related at all to [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 the Emperor of Mankind and the Primarchs]] due to originating from completely different media. In the Codexverse, she's the Terran Princes' older sister by adoption due to Golden Scepter taking her under his wing following her birth.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Like in the original [[GardenOfEden Genesis story]], both Peachy and Chestnut received one in the form of the Trees baring the Fruits of Knowledge and the Fruits of Life. While they were tempted into eating the Fruit of Knowledge, however, they passed the test by assuming responsibility for their actions rather than denying what they did and blaming it on each other and/or their tempter. Unfortunately, that part of the story was [[LegendFadesToMyth lost or distorted over the ages]].
* SympathyForTheDevil: Despite being critically wounded by Morning Star during the 'Twilight of the Alicorns', she only expresses pity for him because his impossibly high standards of perfection, even for himself, ensured that [[PerfectionIsImpossible he could never be truly happy with himself or whatever he created]].
--> '''Morning Star:''' You were an imperfection your 'father' should have wiped from this world long ago!\\
'''Queen Rhodonite Mirror:''' ...I pity you.\\
'''Morning Star:''' What?!\\
'''Queen Rhodonite Mirror:''' You... You have such high standards... for everyone, yourself included... you can never really be happy... can you? ...Not with your creations... and never with yourself... I feel sorry for you...
* TakingTheHeat: When she and Chestnut were confronted by Golden Scepter over eating the forbidden fruit, she tried pinning the blame on herself so she could protect Chestnut from retribution... only for Chestnut to try do the same thing for similar reasons as he was the first to eat the forbidden fruit in the first place. It turns out the situation was part of a SecretTestOfCharacter Golden Scepter set up to test their morality, which they passed by admitting their wrong doing despite Morning Star's attempt to sabotage it.
* TimeAbyss: As the first sapient Earthpony mare and first Alicorn goddess, she's incredibly ancient and thus comes off as alien because of it. However, she's much younger than her 'father', Golden Scepter.
* WingedUnicorn: Subverted. While she eventually Ascended to godhood under Golden Scepter's guidance, she initially appeared as a much larger Earthpony goddess due to the other Pony tribes not existing yet. It's only after the Unicorn and Pegasus tribes' creation that she gained their racial traits, becoming the first 'true' Alicorn.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Justified. While she and Chestnut passed the SecretTestOfCharacter that Golden Scepter put in place for them, they still disobeyed his rules by eating the forbidden fruit. Thus, Golden Scepter 'punished' her and Chestnut by personally removing them from the Garden in which they were raised, though they were still able to Ascend to godhood under his tutelage thanks to their newfound morality.

-> ''"No authority comes without responsibility."''
\\
Princess Regina Maiestas Ponyland, born Princess Tiffany (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-46-841341265 here]]), is the Alicorn goddess of Royalty, Stability, and Power, and a daughter of Queen Majesty who was included as part of the large Terran Royal Family.
----
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: She was emotionally devastated by the death of her mother, Queen Majesty, and she became spoiled and hedonistic to try and avoid her pain over it. Her and her sisters' failure to stop Lavan from stealing the Wands of Ponyland forces her to realize how much of a RoyalBrat she became since Majesty's death, since she trusted them to look after the Wands, and that she's utterly failed to live up to her mother's legacy as TheHighQueen. This ultimately motivates her to try and become a better ruler to finally make her mother proud.
* AdaptationalBadass: In [=G1=] canon, she was simply a Princess Pony pegasus whose power lay in her wand, which gave her some degree of WeatherManipulation, and was helpless without it once her wand is stolen. Here, she's capable of much stronger weather magic on a continental scale, and she's much stronger overall than the average pegasus due to being a purely magical being, with the side-effect of [[AdaptationalWimp having to rely on her wand to stabilize her lifeforce as she's created from Majesty's own magic, and would fade away once Majesty dies]]. Thankfully, she managed to Ascend to godhood [[spoiler:under the tutelage of Eternal Vanguard, the Perpetuity Sovereign's right hoof]], which stabilized her lifeforce and granted her divine power on top of being able to wield her wand.
* AllYourPowersCombined: As an Alicorn goddess, she has the combined magics of all mortal Pony tribes.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's an Alicorn goddess who embodies Royalty, Stability, and Power.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion:
** During a Second Age confrontation with Overmare, who initially sought to claim the Wands of Ponyland so she can turn Equus into a utopia, she asked the supervillain if claiming the power to conquer the world would end up destroying it. What followed next was an explanation detailing what happened the last time someone (King Lavan) tried stealing the wands for themselves, leading to Overmare to [[PragmaticVillainy ultimately conclude that the Wands weren't worth the risk]].
---> '''Princess Regina Maiestas Ponyland:''' You are an intelligent mare.\\
'''Overmare:''' Indeed, and none other rivals the Overmare's.\\
'''Princess Regina Maiestas Ponyland:''' Well then... tell us: what good is the power to conqueror the world if claiming the same power will destroy it?
** She asked one of these to [[TheDreaded Vicearch Iniquitous]] when She or an avatar of Her somehow managed to bypass all the security measures she and others had put in place and infiltrated into the chamber where the Wands of Ponyland are stored to examine them in detail ([[PragmaticVillainy not steal it, knowing the consequences]]), asking whether the Vicearch thinks She can handle all the power She desired so much. In this case, Iniquitous gave a very straightforward ArmorPiercingResponse: '''Yes.'''
---> '''Princess Regina Maiestas Ponyland:''' You have so much power - whether it be won or stolen from others - and yet you ever desire for more?\\
'''Vicearch Iniquitous:''' '''''And why not? ALL seek power, for power is merely the ability to induce change as we will it. And all of us desire it, one way or another, for it is only natural - and necessary. Denying power in humility have been a frequent mistake among the virtuous and pious, rendering many hapless before the forces of iniquity and calamity. You would find that We will make no such error.'''''\\
'''Princess Regina Maiestas Ponyland:''' Perhaps; the Sovereign of Schemes himself told me as much. But [[TheFettered there]] '''[[TheFettered are]]''' [[TheFettered as many good reasons to reject power as there are reasons to accept it]]. Do you truly think you can bear the weight of such great might? [[ArmorPiercingQuestion How much more do you think you can bear without being crushed or undone by it?]]\\
'''Vicearch Iniquitous:''' '''''[[TheBadGuyWins We had triumphed a long time ago]], and had [[EvilOverlord reigned supreme]] ever since over [[TheConqueror all we desired]]. You know the answers to those questions.'''''
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Her domain of Royalty gives her [[{{Telepathy}} telepathic abilities]], which naturally includes the ability to use mind control to force her subjects to obey her. Being a benevolent Princess, she doesn't like using it, but she will if the situation warrants using said power.
* BornOfMagic: She was born whole-cloth from her mother's magic. This also meant her lifeforce was originally unstable, and her wand, while a source of power for her, was also keeping her alive; without it, she would fade away and die. However, her Ascension stabilized her.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: She was once Princess Tiffany, a Pegasus Princess of First Age Ponyland born whole-cloth from magic to Queen Majesty. After undergoing a period of extreme negligence and irresponsibility regarding her royal duties and then [[TheAtoner making up for it]], she Ascends to godhood [[spoiler:under the tutelage of Eternal Vanguard, the Perpetuity Sovereign's right-hoof]] and renames herself 'Princess Regina Maiestas Ponyland' to honor her deceased mother.
* HealingHands: Subverted. As a goddess of Stability, she can't heal physical wounds in the traditional way, but she can magically prevent them from worsening. This would give even mortally-wounded creatures enough time to receive medical attention. She can, however, heal disrupted systems.
* ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: Subverted. Because deities in general get StrongerWithAge, she will only become stronger and more eldritch as she grows older. As an Alicorn goddess from the First Age, she's a white-furred Alicorn with a white and silver mane made of sparkling magical energy, and she has silver wing gradients. She's also slightly taller than Queen Dazzleglow, who was born and Ascended to godhood in the Second Age.
* MacGuffinGuardian: She was originally the guardian of one of the Wands of Ponyland, which act as 'control rods' for Equus's magic and could result in a global magical cataclysm if tampered with. She is now the guardian of all of six wands and the [[CosmicKeystone Heart of Ponyland]] itself.
* MagicHair: Post-Ascension, her white and silver mane became composed of sparkling magical energy.
* TheMagnificent: Known as "the Last Princess of Ponyland", due to being the SoleSurvivor of the seven Princess Ponies created by Queen Majesty. This is because her sisters eventually decided to give up their own immortality and pass on, leaving her all alone.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: She was part of a group of six daughters created whole-cloth by Queen Majesty with her own magic, her sisters being Primrose, Serena, Sparkle, Starburst, and Royal Blue. She also has multiple adoptive siblings, one of which would be Spike, who would later become the Dragon god Prince Arcaniss. And that is ''before'' she discovered she is part of the equally large Terran Royal Family via adoption, as her mother was the adoptive daughter of Emperor Golden Scepter.
* MeaningfulRename: Her birth name was Tiffany. After spending years guarding the Wands of Ponyland, she would eventually Ascend to godhood [[spoiler:under the tutelage of Eternal Vanguard, the right-hand stallion of the Perpetuity Sovereign]], upon which she would take the name 'Regina Maiestas Ponyland'. Regina Maiestas translates to "Queen Majesty" in Ponyland, which is the name and rank of her deceased mother. Not only is she evoking her mother's memory, her new name is also a symbolic change from the spoiled, arrogant Princess she once was, to a mature and dutiful guardian of the Wands.
* MindManipulation: As a goddess of Royalty, she has the ability to mind control others, [[BadPowersGoodPeople something she doesn't like doing]]. However, she will use it if she has to.
* NoSell: As a goddess of Stability, spells that destabilize her mind, body, and magic have absolutely no effect on her.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation:
** She and the other Princess Ponies were unrelated to Queen Majesty in canon. Here, she and her fellow Princess Ponies are 'biological' daughters of Queen Majesty, who created them whole-cloth out of her own magic... with the tragic side-effect that they would fade away once Majesty gives up her immortality to live out her last days, forcing Majesty to come up with a way to keep her magical children's lifeforce stabilized once she's gone.
** Their being daughters of Queen Majesty here means that she and the other Princess Ponies are also adoptive granddaughters of Emperor Golden Scepter, who is based on [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 the Emperor of Mankind]]. This also means that they're nieces of the Terran Princes/Aureusidae, who are based on the Primarchs, by virtue of Queen Majesty being their adoptive sister. In their respective canons, they're completely unrelated.
** Applejack V, now Princess Veritas, is her adoptive Aunt-in-law via Veritas' marriage to Prince Clear Voice, who's based on Primarch Rogal Dorn. This would make the entire Apple Family her in-laws.
** Later, she would become a niece of [[Myth/SlavicMythology Belyolen and Temnobog]], as well as [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} Phoenix King Naur and Everqueen Naneth]], after they were adopted by Golden Scepter as his sons and daughter, respectively. This means that she's related to High King Irminsul and High Queen Arvan through them.
* RoyalBrat: Both she and her sisters were spoiled somewhat by Majesty when they were younger, something that Majesty herself admitted regretfully, but her behavior wasn't as bad when her mother was alive. After Majesty [[HeroicSacrifice gave up her immortality to save the Princess Ponies' younger sister, Mimic]], Tiffany was ''devastated'' and tried ignoring the issue of SuccessionCrisis that followed after her mother's death by continuing her royal duties and enjoying her wealth. It's deconstructed as this behavior led to her and her sisters becoming even more spoiled and egotistical, while neglecting the training she undertook to protect the wands the Princess Ponies carried. Her decadence led to her bickering childishly with her sisters over who should be Majesty's heir during Spike's visit, allowing King Lavan to steal and corrupt the wands for his own plans. The Moochick even notes that [[WhatTheHellHero the Princess Ponies' negligence would have possibly forced the Grand Primevals to destroy all of Ponykind to eliminate a huge threat]], forcing Tiffany to acknowledge her mistakes and humble herself with the realization that her actions nearly doomed everyone.
* SoleSurvivor: She became the last living Princess of Ponyland after her sisters, having lived for so long, decided to give up their chosen Wands and join their mother, Queen Majesty, in the afterlife. While she didn't begrudge her sisters for their decision and stayed behind out of necessity to guard the Wands, losing her sisters nonetheless devastated her. When Golden Scepter adopted her into his family four Ages later, she broke down crying TearsOfJoy, having finally gained a stable family to call her own.
* {{Sucksessor}}: She and her sisters were Majesty's oldest children, and thus the ones her authority and responsibility fell to after her death. However, due to emotional problems stemming from their mother's death, all the Princess Ponies turned into {{Royal Brat}}s who were too fixated on enjoying the finer things in life to move on from their grief and actually rule. While they ''did'' realize how wrong they were and [[TheAtoner atoned for their mistakes]], they ultimately pass control of Majesty's kingdom over to Megan Williams so they can focus on doing their own duties of protecting the Wands. Even after this, Tiffany openly acknowledges she and her sisters failed their mother as her heirs and [[VillainHasAPoint agrees with Smellba's asessment of her]], but also [[ShutUpHannibal points out that's why she's dedicated to making up for it.]]
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: She and her sisters focused so much on enjoying their wealth to avoid the pain their mother's death caused them to not only become egotistical {{Royal Brat}}s, but their power and skill to atrophy ''severely'' from their negligence, leaving them unable to fight Lavan when he came for the Wands.
* TearsOfJoy: She broke down crying when Golden Scepter adopted her into the Terran Royal Family as his granddaughter, having spent four Ages without a family to call her own after her mother and sisters/fellow Princess Ponies died.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Familial example. With her reemergence during the Fourth Age and adoption by Golden Scepter as his granddaughter, she became one of two living female Alicorns in the Terran Royal Family, with the other being Princess Applejack/Veritas, an Alicorn demigoddess.
* WeatherManipulation: Like in canon, her wand grants her the ability to wield weather-based spells. Unlike canon, where she could only clear cloudy skies, she is [[AdaptationalBadass a powerful weather mage]] who is capable of manipulating the weather on a continental scale.
* WhatTheHellHero: After Lavan managed to assimilate the Wands into himself, she and Megan sought out the Moochick for help. The Moochick advises her and Megan to use the Heart of Ponyland to stop Lavan, but also subtly calls her out by noting the Grand Primevals would be forced to destroy all of Ponykind just to destroy Lavan if the people assigned to guard the Wands neglected their duties instead. This makes her guilt over her negligence and failures increase even more.
--> '''The Moochick:''' Well that...or I fear something far more drastic...\\
'''Princess Tiffany:''' ...Like what?\\
'''The Moochick:''' Well, my dear, the Grand Primevals may be forced to destroy all of Ponyland to stop Lavan's corruption from infecting the entire planet...that is if they don't decide our failure to safeguard the wands they trusted us with is a consequence we mortals will have to face ourselves. Of course that'd only be if you didn't try your absolute best to safeguard them as they expected.\\
'''Princess Tiffany:''' ...This is all my fault...

----
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's a young Terran Alicorn demigoddess who embodies Sincerity, Art, and Design.
* BigStupidDoodooHead: Much like her older adoptive cousin [[EmpathicWeapon Mercy]] before her, she was persuaded by her uncles, Fanged Paw and Steel Barricade, into calling Blazing Hoof a "poopy-head". [[LaserGuidedKarma This also gets Fanged Paw and Steel Barricade chased all over the Terran Empire by Blazing Hoof once he (quickly) figures out who set her up]].
--> '''Prince Blazing Hoof:''' ''(exasperatedly)'' ...Is this going to happen every time I gain a new niece or nephew?
* BigEater: Baby Applejack's father Clear Voice was ''astounded'' when Baby Applejack ate ''"enough food to feed a small army"'' at a banquet. Applejack/Veritas noted she had an appetite of a full-grown stallion herself and that was ''before'' she became a demigoddess, so Baby Applejack likely got it from her.
* CheerfulChild: She's a very young child who tends to be sweet and do cute, occasionally silly things.
* DivineParentage: She's the young daughter of Prince Clear Voice and Princess Applejack/Veritas, both of them heroic, powerful demi-deities in their own right. Her direct connection to Emperor Golden Scepter through Clear Voice as his biological granddaughter is a huge factor in why she was born a demigoddess.
* HeadPet: At one point, while looking for her, Applejack/Veritas walked in to find her daughter sitting on top of Golden Scepter's head, as he is big enough for her to do so. Golden Scepter was amused and simply took it in stride.
--> '''Princess Applejack/Veritas:''' Baby Applejack! Where are ya?\\
'''Princess Baby Applejack:''' ''(from atop Golden Scepter's head)'' Mama!\\
'''Princess Applejack/Veritas:''' ''(looks up)'' ...Well, there's something you don't see every day...
* LegacyCharacter: She's named "Applejack" like her mother, which is an Apple Family tradition that dated back to the First Age. The "Baby" in her name is the pony equivalent of "Junior".
* MakeMeWannaShout: Much like Flurry Heart, when she cried shortly after birth, it shattered every window in the medical wing due to her being a baby Demi-Goddess.
* SemiDivine: It's noted in her mother's entry that she was born a demigoddess, thanks to her father Clear Voice being a powerful Alicorn demigod by virtue of being a son of [[PhysicalGod Golden Scepter]], and her mother Applejack/Veritas having Ascended in a relatively short time before she was born. However, it's hinted that being Golden Scepter's biological granddaughter gave her a lot of potential that might make itself known once she gets older.
* SuperStrongChild: It's believed InUniverse that being the granddaughter of an extremely ancient Alicorn god through her father, as well as the daughter of a former Element bearer, resulted in her birth as a '[[TheAce prodigy]]' demigoddess. Notably, she has enough strength to slam a full-grown stallion despite being a young filly. One drabble shows her protecting Jasper by slamming one of his Pony tormentors into the ground repeatedly.
* YouNoTakeCandle: Justified. Being a young filly, her speech skills are rudimentary at best.

-> ''"Mercy... such a strange and ironic name for a sword."''
--> -- '''Prince Red Blade, the Master of Wrath''' noting the irony of Mercy's name.
\\
Mercy (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Heroes-and-Villains-14-817029259 here]]) is a divine Poenan weapon of incredible power, formerly owned by Silver Bane, an ex-Poenan servant and champion known as "the Dark Hunter".
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Dhylec]] became corrupted and turned into a demonic blade after its wielder, Donovan Baine, gave in to his vampiric side and transformed into Dee, who became a bonus boss in ''Darkstalkers 3/Vampire Savior''. By contrast, Mercy would avoid a similar fate thanks to Silver Bane realizing the error of his KnightTemplar ways and giving her to Golden Scepter and his sons, who would protect her from the reach and influence of the Poenan Pantheon once her [[TalkingWeapon sentience]] became publicly known. As a result, Mercy became a compassionate -- if naive and childlike -- sword who has worked with Prince Red Blade in taking down tyrannical kingdoms and realms.
* AdoptedIntoRoyalty: Despite being a sentient divine sword, she became a Terran Princess by adoption when Silver Bane entrusted her to Red Blade's care to protect her from the Poenan Pantheon, who wanted to use her as a weapon in their zealous crusades.
* AmplifierArtifact: She enhances the magic of whoever's using her, such as Silver Bane and later, Prince Red Blade. Silver Bane would later give her away to Red Blade and his family after leaving the Poenan Pantheon, having recognized the dangers of such a weapon in their hooves, ''especially'' after she became sentient. [[FusionDance Mentally fusing with his "dark half"]] and gaining a permanent power boost from having his long-suppressed vampiric heritage manifest himself helped factor in the decision as well.
* AntiMagic: She has the ability to cut through dark magic spells like they're nothing.
* AntiRegeneration: She has the power to negate healing factors, making her a nightmare for those who possess them.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Despite being a sentient divine sword, she's regarded by Red Blade's World Eaters as an unofficial member of their legion, and is treated like a little sister by her adoptive "father"'s soldiers.
* BadassBoast: She would shout one to the followers of one of the Poenan deities who helped create her, before summoning [[ShockAndAwe several powerful arcs of lightning]] to fight her enemies.
--> '''Mercy:''' I am not Mercy, the Holy Blade! I am MERCY, THE EATER OF WORLDS! And YOU are just a BUNCH of POOPY-HEADS! '''''KA-BOOM!!!'''''
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She developed a naive, child-like personality after becoming [[TalkingWeapon sentient]], and after she was transferred into the care of the royal Terran family, she became a compassionate and benevolent individual who wants to help others thanks to the positive influence of Golden Scepter and his nineteen sons. Prince Red Blade, who became her [[ParentalSubstitute adoptive "father"]], would teach her that killing is only acceptable if the target(s) is truly evil and unrepentant. That being said, she is capable of independent thinking and expressing anger, and after developing enough [[MindOverMatter telekinetic power]] to move on her own, she could defend herself if threatened. One incident had her attack a group of Poenan followers after they tried to take her back and use her as a weapon against "Evil", declaring that she'll never work with the Poenans as long as she lived.
* {{BFS}}: She's described as a huge broadsword as tall as her former owner, Silver Bane, and was large enough for him to use her as a surfing board in combat. Logically, she's extremely heavy, with the only people being able to wield her are divine champions like Silver Bane, or (demi-)divines like her adoptive father, Red Blade. Her blade is also strong enough to hold a bifurcated cliffside together without signs of strain.
* BigBrotherInstinct:
** Though cousins, she vowed to be Rosy Dreams' "bestest, perfectest big sister" after the latter was rescued from her [[AbusiveParents sexually abusive father]] and adopted by Prince Bright Eyes. This played a part in helping Rosy heal from her foalhood trauma, which both Red Blade and Bright Eyes are [[SoProudOfYou proud of her]] for. In another incident, she prevented an Earthpony tribalist from going after Rosy by literally falling on top of her and using her own heavy weight to pin the tribalist down, long enough for her adoptive uncles arrive with proper authorities.
--> '''Earthpony tribalist:''' Get... OFF ME!\\
'''Mercy:''' NO! You'll hurt Rosy!
** Likewise, she's also an adoptive cousin of Hopeful Moon, an Alicorn demigod toddler. When Hopeful Moon started wandering off into the wider dream world, she accompanied him alongside Gliding Butterfly and Rosy Dreams. She proceeded to protect Hopeful Moon when the group encountered a Dream Demon.
* BigStupidDoodooHead:
** In one incident, she was persuaded by Fanged Paw and Steel Barricade into calling their oldest brother, Blazing Hoof, a "poopy-head". Blazing Hoof quickly figures out who set her up (the clues were "a wolf" and "a gray Pony with big wings"), and was later seen by his subjects angrily chasing his brothers through the streets of the Terran Empire shortly after.
---> '''Mercy:''' You're not gonna hurt them, are you?\\
'''Prince Blazing Hoof:''' Of course not. I AM their 'Big Brother', after all...
** This returns in an awesome manner when Mercy, confronted by followers of one of the Poenan deities who helped craft her, calls them "poopy-heads" as part of her BadassBoast before [[ShockAndAwe summoning powerful arcs of lightning]].
* BondingOverMissingParents: She ended up befriending Miracle Hymn, the youngest member of the [[MagicalGirlWarrior Dazzling Divas]], in part due to both of them having lost their parents via abandonment/death. Miracle Hymn would later understand that Mercy was abandoned by Silver Bane because [[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou he wanted to protect her from the morally puristic and fanatical Poenan Pantheon]].
* CaptainErsatz: Of [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Dhylec]], a huge sword wielded by Donovan Baine. While Mercy heavily resembles Dhylec in appearance, she is vastly different than her character inspiration. Notably, after Silver Bane accepted his vampiric heritage and gave her away to Golden Scepter and his sons, she became a heroic and benevolent sword who fights for "true" Justice. This contrasts Dhylec, who eventually became a corrupted weapon after Donovan Baine gave in to his vampiric side and transformed into Dee, who becomes a bonus boss in ''Darkstalkers 3/Vampire Savior''.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: While a [[{{BFS}} huge sword]] appearance-wise, she has the voice of a filly and a naive, childlike personality. Her naivety makes her rather impressionable, which has led to her developing [[ThePrankster a mischievous streak]] and getting roped into the more mischievous Terran Princes' shenanigans and misadventures, such as being persuaded by Fanged Paw and Steel Barricade into calling Blazing Hoof a "[[BigStupidDoodooHead poopy-head]]", and scaring Palatine Phoenix for a prank. It also makes her "birth" away from the [[KnightTemplar Poenan Pantheon]] rather fortunate, as they intended for her to be a murder weapon against all things "evil", and planned to purify her of her "corruption" once they learned of her sentience. When she learned of her original purpose, she developed a fear of killing, until [[ParentalSubstitute Prince Red Blade]] taught her that killing is only acceptable if the target(s) is truly evil and unrepentant. She also [[LiteralMinded interpreted one of Fanged Paw's jokes literally]], which led to her going missing for a while when she tried Ascending to godhood by "going outside", requiring Golden Scepter to have a talk with her once he finds her.
* CoolBigSis: Despite being a sapient divine sword, she became a "big sister" for Rosy Dreams, supporting her as well as [[BigBrotherInstinct protecting her from anyone who tries to harm her]]. Because of this, Rosy is almost always seen by Mercy's side, playing with her and talking with her once her [[NoSocialSkills nearly nonexistent social skills]] improved. Rosy's entry notes that they even bonded over art and are seen drawing together when not playing. Both Red Blade and Bright Eyes are [[SoProudOfYou really proud of Mercy for it]], as her actions helped Rosy recover from her sexual abuse and other traumas.
--> '''Mercy:''' Don't worry, Rosy! I'm gonna be your bestest, perfectest big sister EVER!
* CurbStompBattle: After wandering off with [[MagicalGirlWarrior Miracle Hymn]] to go play, they would both encounter an evil demon that they easily defeated by the time Sonic Song, Prince Red Blade, and Prince Steel Barricade found them.
* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: While she was initially saddened over being left behind by Silver Bane and suffered from abandonment issues for a while, she came to understand and accept that he had to do it to prevent her from being taken back by [[KnightTemplar Poena]] and her divine/mortal followers, who would certainly use her as a weapon for their ruthless, zealous crusades against evil. What made it easier to deal with is Golden Scepter and his sons treating her like a member of the family, and the fact that Silver Bane and his friends can come visit at any time.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Discussed in [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/823732910/4800804312 one incident]]. After hearing Fanged Paw joke about Ascending to demi-godhood by "going outside", she [[LiteralMinded took it to mean her adoptive father and uncles became Alicorns by literally going outside]] and tried doing just that, causing her family to panic when she's gone for a while. Golden Scepter soon finds her, and when he learns why Mercy went missing, they have a heart-to-heart about Ascending, which causes Mercy to balk at how difficult it is for someone to ''actually'' Ascend. Golden Scepter assures her that [[SoProudOfYou he'll still be proud of his granddaughter either way]] before taking her home.
--> '''Emperor Golden Scepter:''' Mercy, what were you doing outside? Your father and your uncles have been looking for you for a while now.\\
'''Mercy:''' Oh, hello Grandpa Golden. I'm trying to Ascend.\\
'''Emperor Golden Scepter:''' Ascend?\\
'''Mercy:''' Yeah. Uncle Fang said that he and Papa and everyone Ascended by going outside. So I'm trying to Ascend, too.\\
'''Emperor Golden Scepter:''' ...You do realize, Mercy, that not everything Fanged Paw says is correct?\\
'''Mercy:''' What?\\
'''Emperor Golden Scepter:''' People will tell you all kinds of things, but not all of them should be followed. Fanged Paw means well, but he's a joker at heart, and doesn't really mean what he says sometimes. That applies to everything your more... ahem, high-spirited uncles say as well. Yes, your father and most of your uncles did Ascend by going outside, but that is really just simplifying it. In actuality, they traveled all over the world until they Ascended.\\
'''Mercy:''' Wow! Can I Ascend like them, too, Grandpa?\\
'''Emperor Golden Scepter:''' Well... I heard that a set of toy blocks made for divine children managed to come alive just like you, and eventually earned godhood herself. If that's possible, then yes, it might happen for you... though it really depends, Mercy. It took your father and your uncles a few years at most to Ascend, some even longer depending on their actions. And even then, they all had to do something extraordinary to make that leap. I cannot guarantee when you will Ascend or how you will Ascend, as it is a very complicated process for everyone, even sapient objects.\\
'''Mercy:''' Awwwww... that sounds really hard...\\
'''Emperor Golden Scepter:''' I know, Mercy. But do not lose heart. If there's something I know, it's that everyone and everything has potential to do something great. Even if you don't end up Ascending, I'll still be proud of you either way. Now come, I heard that your father is planning to rip this Empire apart just to find you, and I'm really not looking forward to cleaning up after him...
* DisappearedDad: Justified. Although it's not known exactly how she managed to gain sentience, Mercy is still technically Silver Bane's biological "daughter" because she was "born" after years of being used and cared for by him. Silver Bane eventually had to leave her behind in the Terran Empire because he wanted to keep Mercy away from the [[KnightTemplar Poenan Pantheon]], and having her in the care of Golden Scepter and his demi-divine sons would ensure her protection. Mercy was initially saddened by this and suffered from abandonment issues at first, but later came to understand why Silver Bane had to give her up and knows that he can come visit her at any time.
* EmpathicWeapon: What she eventually became. Originally she was a sword designed by the Poenan deities to be used by Silver Bane (who was a Poenan champion at the time) to murder anyone deemed "evil" and "dark" in his ruthless quest for vengeance and justice against what he called the "Dark Ones". However, a chain of events caused Silver Bane to realize the error of his ways and defect from the Poenan Pantheon, after which Mercy was "born". It's speculated that either the souls of Silver Bane's numerous victims possessed Mercy and ended up giving her a new soul of her own, or that Silver Bane had taken such good care of his weapon that it gave her sentience. And because she was born in a relatively short time, Mercy has the mind of a child, naive and easily impressionable, with a filly's voice to match. This is what motivated Silver Bane to leave her in the care of Golden Scepter and his sons, fearing what the Poenan Pantheon and their mortal followers will do to Mercy if they succeed in taking her back... which are later proven true when the Poenans deem her to be "corrupted" and have called for her purification once they learned of her sentience. Fortunately, thanks to Silver Bane's hindsight, [[PapaWolf all of Golden Scepter's sons have grown to love Mercy as one of their own at this point and are extremely willing to protect her from the Poenans]].
* FireIceLightning: Like her first wielder, Silver Bane, she has the ability to wield magic by herself, calling down lightning bolts and freezing/burning enemies upon striking them. This is because Silver Bane used her as a [[SpellBlade medium for his own magic]] for years.
* ForgedByTheGods: She started out as a custom-made sword forged by Poena's divine allies as a gift to Silver Bane for his extreme efficiency and devotion to smiting Evil. As a result, Mercy has magical properties, including enhancing her users' magic, [[AntiMagic cutting through dark magic spells]], and [[AntiRegeneration canceling out regenerative abilities]], making her a nightmare for those who rely on healing factors. Years of frequent use and diligent upkeep caused Mercy to [[EmpathicWeapon gain sentience]] and start [[TalkingWeapon talking]], and though Silver Bane treated her kindly, he later recognized the dangers of a divine sword in the hands of the Poenan Pantheon and feared what would happen if the Poenans were to learn of Mercy's sentience. This motivated him to leave her in the care of Prince Red Blade, knowing that the Terran Empire's royal family consists of powerful divines and demi-divines, which would give Mercy very sufficient protection.
* ForWantOfANail: In one future [[{{Seers}} foreseen]] by Golden Scepter and Prince Night Shade, she became a demonic sword after Silver Bane transformed into a hateful, self-loathing vampiric monster. Fortunately, Night Shade's efforts in saving and redeeming Silver Bane prevented that future from occurring, leaving Mercy uncorrupted by the time she was transferred into the Terran royal family's care. It's noted that this became proof of Mercy's potential in Golden Scepter's eyes, as she could become a great weapon of "true" Justice and benevolence instead of a tool to smite everything deemed "dark" and "evil" as the Poenans had intended.
* HappilyAdopted: She would be adopted by Prince Red Blade, who was the one to receive her from Silver Bane before the latter's departure. This both protected her from the [[KnightTemplar Poenan Pantheon]] and helped her get over her abandonment issues.
* HeroesLoveDogs: She's a sentient divine sword originally crafted by the Poenan Pantheon, but after Silver Bane left her in the Terran Empire for safekeeping, she became an adoptive daughter of Prince Red Blade, making her a Terran Princess by adoption. She's also a hero and honorary member of the World Eaters legion, and she's the loving co-owner of Chubby, an adorable Corgi summoned by [[LethalChef Fanged Paw]] and [[EldritchAbomination Dr. Endless Dreams]] from a human dimension.
* AnIcePerson: She developed the ability to freeze her opponents upon striking after being used as a [[SpellBlade magical conduit]] by Silver Bane for years.
* IronicName: Her entry notes that Silver Bane named her "Mercy" because his grudge against the "Dark Ones" was so intense that death would've been considered merciful compared what he and his fellow Poenans had in mind for them. Red Blade even lampshades how ironic it is for a sword to have such a name when he received Mercy. However, it's not so ironic anymore now because Mercy was influenced by both Red Blade and Silver Bane (once he has his HeelFaceTurn) to become benevolent and heroic, despite being a sentient sword.
* TheMagnificent: Initially, she was called "the Holy Blade" by the Poenans, including one of the Poenan deities who made her, as she was intended to be a great weapon against Evil. However, after [[TalkingWeapon becoming sentient]] and ending up in the care of Prince Red Blade, she was given the epithet "the Eater of Worlds" for helping the demi-Alicorn Prince destroy tyrannical kingdoms and realms.
* MindOverMatter: She started developing her own telekinetic abilities since becoming sentient, until she gained enough power to move on her own and even fly in combat. Silver Bane using her as a [[SpellBlade magical conduit]] for years largely contributed to this.
* NotQuiteFlight: After developing enough [[MindOverMatter telekinetic power]] to move around by herself, she gained the ability to levitate herself and fly. This proved incredibly useful since she doesn't have to rely on others wielding her for her to attack her enemies.
* OhCrap: She started screaming for Red Blade after her adoptive uncle, Fanged Paw, ended up summoning hordes of "[[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Beholders and Illithids]]" (in Cultura's words) while making onion casserole in one incident.
--> '''Mercy:''' AAAAAAH!!! PAPA, THERE'S A TENTACLED MONSTER INSIDE THE OVEN!!!
* ParentalAbandonment: Despite being a divine sword, she is technically Silver Bane's biological "daughter" in that his frequent use and diligent upkeep of her led to her (somehow) gaining sentience and a soul of her own. Though Silver Bane loved Mercy like his own child, he soon realized what would happen if the Poenan Pantheon and its followers were to get their hooves on her, so he left Mercy in the care of the Terran Empire's royal family to protect her. While Mercy was initially sad and upset over this, even suffering from abandonment issues for a while, she eventually came to understand why she had to be left behind. It helps that Golden Scepter and his sons treated her as a family member and that Silver Bane could come visit at any time.
* PlayingWithFire: She developed the ability to burn her opponents upon striking after being used as a [[SpellBlade magical conduit]] by Silver Bane for years.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: Silver Bane's entry notes that after he gave her to Prince Red Blade and started leaving, Mercy tried moving on her own as she begged Silver Bane not to leave her behind. While she missed her first wielder dearly, she eventually understood that she was given away to protect her from the [[KnightTemplar Poenan Pantheon]], and knows Silver Bane and his friends can come visit at any time.
* ThePrankster: After landing in the care of the royal Terran family, she gained a mischievous streak and likes playing pranks. It's noted that she became this thanks to the influence of some of Golden Scepter's more mischievous sons, such as Prince Fanged Paw. In one incident, she scared Prince Palatine Phoenix for a prank Fanged Paw set up, and they both ended up being chased all over the Terran palace for it.
--> '''Prince Palatine Phoenix:''' ''(shouting)'' GODSDAMMIT, FANGED PAW!!!
* ProneToTears: Her entry mentions that she had a habit of being a crybaby. This is justified; as she just started gaining full sentience around this time, her control over her own emotions was nonexistent, so she often cried on impulse. When Silver Bane gives her away to Prince Red Blade, he warns him to be gentle with her as she's "somewhat sensitive".
* PsychicPowers: After years of being used as a SpellBlade by Silver Bane, she gradually developed the same [[{{Telepathy}} telepathic]] and [[MindOverMatter telekinetic]] powers as her first wielder, allowing her to move on her own sometime after achieving full sentience.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation:
** She's technically Silver Bane's biological 'daughter' because she became sapient under his care, whether through Silver Bane taking such good care of her or being possessed by the souls of his victims and gaining a new soul from it. Despite his initial suspicions, Silver Bane proceeded to treat her kindly, earning her loyalty and affection. In ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'', this relationship did not happen between Donovan Baine and Dhylec.
** After being given up to the Terran Royal Family, she became the adoptive daughter of Prince Red Blade, who is a completely heroic expy of [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Angron]]. This would make her a granddaughter of Emperor Golden Scepter (Emperor of Mankind), a paternal cousin of Rosy Dreams ([[VideoGame/DreamingMary Mary/Mari]]) and Gliding Butterfly (a CompositeCharacter combining [[Series/{{Inazuman}} Goro Watari]] with [[Film/KamenRiderXKamenRiderWizardAndFourzeMovieWarUltimatum Saburo Kazeta]]), and a niece of the other Terran Princes.
** Applejack V, now Princess Veritas, is her adoptive Aunt-in-law via Veritas' marriage to Prince Clear Voice, who's based on Primarch Rogal Dorn. This would make the entire Apple Family her in-laws.
** She's also related to Queen Majesty and her children, since Majesty was Golden Scepter's daughter by adoption. This ''also'' means that she's an adoptive cousin of Princess Regina Maiestas Ponyland and the other Princess Ponies, who are Regina's deceased sisters.
** Later, she would become a niece of [[Myth/SlavicMythology Belyolen and Temnobog]], as well as [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} Phoenix King Naur and Everqueen Naneth]], after they were adopted by Golden Scepter as his sons and daughter, respectively. This means that she's related to High King Irminsul and High Queen Arvan through them.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Despite being a sentient divine sword, she became a Princess of the Terran Empire after Red Blade adopted her as his "daughter". She's also a celebrated and respected hero due to helping her adoptive father take down tyrannical kingdoms and realms.
* ShockAndAwe: She developed the ability to call down lightning bolts after being used as a [[SpellBlade magical conduit]] by Silver Bane for years. In one incident, she summoned powerful arcs of lightning during a confrontation with the followers of one of the Poenan deities who helped craft her.
* SoProudOfYou:
** Red Blade's entry notes that while protective of her, he's extremely proud of his adoptive "daughter" and lets her accompany him on his travels. He was also proud of her when she decided to become a "big sister" for Rosy Dreams, a sexually abused filly who was rescued by Red Blade's older brother, Prince Bright Eyes.
** After she went missing trying to Ascend to godhood by "going outside", Golden Scepter discusses with Mercy the concept of Ascension and how difficult it is for someone to actually Ascend. This saddens Mercy as she was hoping to Ascend like her adoptive father and uncles, but Golden Scepter assures her he'll still be proud of her even if she doesn't succeed in doing so.
* SpellBlade: Her first wielder, Silver Bane, used her as a medium to channel his [[FireIceLightning elemental magic]] as well as his [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]] for years. It got to the point where, after becoming fully sentient, she developed the ability to wield the same magic on her own.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: During her adoptive family's meeting with the [[MagicalGirlWarrior Dazzling Divas]], she would befriend Miracle Hymn and wander off with her to go play, causing both the Terran royal family and the Divas to panic over their disappearances. Even though both were fine and powerful enough to [[CurbStompBattle easily defeat a demon]] that tried attacking them, they're still kids who wandered off unsupervised. Once they were found by Sonic Song, Prince Red Blade, and Prince Steel Barricade, Mercy was scolded by Red Blade for her actions.
* TalkingWeapon: Justified. Her entry notes that she gained the ability to talk after becoming fully sentient, but due to being a sword, she can only talk psychically. It's theorized InUniverse that either the souls of Silver Bane's victims possessed Mercy and ended up giving her an entirely new soul of her own, or Silver Bane took such good care of his sword that he somehow imprinted on it, allowing Mercy to become sentient.
* {{Telepathy}}: How she's able to talk with others after she became [[EmpathicWeapon sentient]]. It's a good thing, too, since she's a sword.

\\
Rosy Dreams (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Notable-Individuals-2-809768994 here]]) is the young adoptive daughter of Prince Bright Eyes, Golden Scepter's ninth son, and a promising filly who was rescued from an extremely abusive household.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Mary from ''VideoGame/DreamingMary'' is implied to be a RealityWarper of some kind, a power inherited from her [[MissingMom deceased mother]], but is otherwise a little girl who is helpless against her abusers in both her dreams and the real world. Here as Rosy Dreams, she unlocked her psychic powers after trying to escape her abusive father multiple times, and killed 'The Chaser' with a psychic burst after losing Mr. Penguin in a HeroicSacrifice (which references the game's '[[GainaxEnding Bonus Ending]]' where Mary kills the Chaser with a [[Franchise/StreetFighter Hadouken]]). She successfully drives off and ''psychically injures'' [[Literature/DoctorSleep Rose Knot]]'s astral form after the latter tries invading her mind, and helps Sleep Well kill Rose Knot by luring her to a great demon that feeds on 'psykers' like her. And when she, Hopeful Moon, Gliding Butterfly, and Mercy come under attack by a Dream Demon, she is temporarily turned into an Alicorn demigoddess of Dreams, Guardianship, and Art by Hopeful Moon's accidental SuperEmpowering, revealing she has potential to Ascend to godhood like many of her adoptive family members. However, it's downplayed as she's still a filly recovering from physical and mental trauma, so whether she realizes her true potential or not remains to be seen.
* AdaptationalSkill: She's an artist with lots of potential in the Codexverse, which wasn't apparent with [[VideoGame/DreamingMary the character she's based on]].
* AdoptedIntoRoyalty: With her mother dead and her biological father arrested and imprisoned for his crimes, with no other relatives/caretakers left to look after her (her uncle was murdered, and so was her maid and tutor), she ended up being adopted by Prince Bright Eyes, [[PhysicalGod Golden Scepter]]'s ninth son. This along with Mercy would make her a Terran Princess by default. [[spoiler:However, it's revealed that she's a distant descendant of Second Age superheroine Queen Rosy, who was a member of the Age's Power Rangers in life, automatically making her a member of the Isle of Pony's royal family even though she was unaware of it]].
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Hopeful Moon accidentally empowering her during a fight with a Dream Demon temporarily turned her into a young Alicorn demigoddess who embodied Dreams, Guardianship, and Art.
* BigBrotherInstinct: She's an older adoptive sister of Hopeful Moon, an Alicorn demigod toddler. When Hopeful Moon started wandering off into the wider dream world, she accompanied him alongside Gliding Butterfly and Mercy. She proceeded to protect Hopeful Moon when the group encountered a Dream Demon, with her being accidentally empowered and turned into an Alicorn demigoddess of Dreams, Guardianship, and Art by Hopeful during the fight.
* BigEater: Deconstructed in one incident. When she learned she can finally eat ice cream, she ended up eating too much in her rush to enjoy it, and consequently got a stomachache.
* BondingOverMissingParents: She would end up becoming close friends with [[MagicalGirlWarrior Miracle Hymn]] of the Dazzling Divas, as like her, she also witnessed loved ones being murdered in front of her and received great trauma from it. Miracle Hymn would hug her upon discovering this.
--> '''Miracle Hymn:''' ''(to Rosy Dreams)'' ...No matter how strong you get, it still hurts, doesn't it?
* CommonalityConnection:
** She ended up befriending [[Music/StevieRayVaughan Moon Ray Vaughoof]] because of their shared expriences with being abused by their own fathers. Moon Ray [[LikeASonToMe treats her like his own daughter]].
** She met and befriended Rose Regalia, an ancient Alicorn goddess, on account of both of them having parents who sexually abused them, even though said parents were of different genders in each of their cases.
** She befriended Miracle Hymn over [[BondingOverMissingParents their shared experiences in having loved ones murdered in front of them]]. Miracle Hymn even gave her a hug for it.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: Her MentalWorld initially took the form of a blissful paradise populated by friendly animals who are based on the Ponies she knew in the real world. However, investigations spearheaded by Night Shade and the Terran Inquisitors revealed that Rosy's dream world was crafted by [[AbusiveParents Sweet Words]] using dream magic to teach his daughter obedience without her noticing a thing -- in order for her dream world to stay blissful, Rosy must exchange "lily petals" for "seeds". Psychiatric sessions also revealed that if Rosy lost the "games" proposed by her animal friends, they would disappear and reveal afterimages of what happened to their real world counterparts, such as a beheaded stallion, a young mare falling to her death, and an older mare with missing eyes. Crimson Star also describes Rosy's dream world as excessively pink and saccharine. Fortunately, once Rosy was freed and adopted by Prince Bright Eyes, both Mentálne and her psychically-inclined uncles had been reconstructing her dream world so Sweet Word's influence would be erased, resulting in her dream world taking the form of a vast open world that she can explore however she pleased.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her mother, Peaceful Dreams, was permanently crippled after her abusive and controlling husband [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident arranged an "accident"]] for trying to escape him, so she tried escaping again by delving into her own dreams so deeply that she eventually died from the coma that followed. Her father, Sweet Words, would sexually abuse her and condition her into compliance by creating a blissful dream world that will only stay that way [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything if she gave him lily petals in exchange for his seeds]]. Her uncle, tutor, and maid each suspected abuse going on, but before either of them could do something about it, they were murdered by her father via [[OffWithHisHead beheading]], [[EyeScream having their eyes taken out]], and/or manipulated into [[DeathByFallingOver falling to their death]], respectively, which she secretly witnessed. Then, when she tried defying her father and escaping, her father imprisoned her within her own mind and created a nightmarish mental entity based on himself to terrorize her as punishment. She was later rescued by Prince Bright Eyes and Prince Written Word after they heard her telepathic calls for help, and was adopted by the former, but she could only wake up after the entity in her mind was defeated and killed.
* DivineParentage: With her mother, uncle, and servants dead while her father is imprisoned for life for his crimes, she was adopted by Prince Bright Eyes, a demi-divine Alicorn Prince. This means that she is a granddaughter of Emperor Golden Scepter by adoption.
* DreamWalker: She can telepathically enter her own dream world and visit the dream worlds of others, though what they look like depends on the nature of each person. For this, she has been receiving tutoring in dream-weaving by Luna, who believes she might have play a beneficial role in protecting people's dreams from malicious entites like Dream Demons.
* DreamWeaver: As her adoptive uncles discovered, she's becoming adept in manipulating mental environments as her great imagination allows her to manifest anything she can use to defend herself and others. She's also [[DreamWalker able to enter both her own dream world and the dream worlds of others]]. For this, she has been receiving tutoring in psionics and dream-weaving by Prince Crimson Star and Luna, who believes she might have play a beneficial role in protecting people's dreams from malicious entites like Dream Demons. Her power is so strong that she psychically attacked and ''injured'' the astral form of [[Literature/DoctorSleep Rose Knot]] when the latter tried invading her mind with the intent to kill her.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Her mother, Peaceful Dreams, died in a self-inflicted coma after she was permanently crippled in an "accident" arranged by her abusive husband, Sweet Words, and because she strongly resembled her mother, Rosy Dreams was sexually abused and violated even in her dreams in an attempt to mold her into the perfect, obedient wife. She then secretly witnessed Sweet Words murder her paternal uncle, tutor, and servant(s) when they caught on to the abuse, which gave her unconscious SurvivorGuilt. When Rosy Dreams started becoming increasingly defiant, Sweet Words trapped her in her own mind and created a nightmarish mental entity to terrorize her as punishment, essentially putting her in a coma. Princes Bright Eyes and Written Word would rescue her from both house and coma after hearing her telepathic cries for help, and with their encouragement, she stood up to the entity in her mind and killed it with a burst of psychic energy. Being adopted into the Terran royal family by Bright Eyes allowed her to gradually recover from her foalhood abuse.
* TheEmpath: Her entry notes she has empathic powers as part of her PsychicPowers.
* ExhaustedEyeBags: Her entry notes that she has dark circles forming underneath her eyes due to [[TheInsomniac insomnia]], though she is recovering from it.
* {{Expy}}: She's based on Mary, a young girl who is the titular protagonist of ''VideoGame/DreamingMary'', in that both of them were sexually abused by their fathers and subjected to [[CrapsaccharineWorld excessively pink and saccharine dream worlds]] at a very tender age. A Codexverse writer, [=Randomfan11=], [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/675604243/4802149252 confirmed it via comments on deviantART]].
* FlowerMotifs: Like [[VideoGame/DreamingMary Mary]], she's associated with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilium lilies]], which are generally associated with chastity and virtue.
** Exchanging lily petals for seeds in order for her [[CrapsaccharineWorld dream world]] to stay happy and blissful represents Rosy Dreams' gradual loss of innocence and purity to [[AbusiveParents Sweet Words]]' sexual abuse, traumatizing her severely once she's freed from her father by Bright Eyes and Written Word.
** White stargazer lilies can also apply as they represent sympathy, which echoes how the Terran Princes and others were very sympathetic to Rosy Dreams' situation and showed their support however they could, which helped her recover from her abusive past.
** Lilies in general also are associated with funerals and thus represent the restoration of innocence after death. Rosy Dreams' mother, Peaceful Dreams, committed suicide by putting herself in a self-inflicted coma after Sweet Words permannently crippled her in an "[[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident accident]]" for trying to escape him. Rosy Dreams, on the other hand, unlocked her psychic abilities in her desire to escape, which attracted Bright Eyes and Written Word and led to her being rescued, gaining the freedom that her mother did not.
* FreudianExcuse: Much of her behavior stems from the sexual, mental, and emotional abuse she suffered at the hooves of her father, Sweet Words. The Terran Princes are trying to defy this by having her take therapy so she can overcome her issues.
** As a result of Sweet Words messing with her [[MentalWorld dream world]] to sexually abuse her without her knowledge, she became TheInsomniac, refusing to sleep at all for fear of having her dreams visited by monsters if she does. Only by being around Princes Bright Eyes and Written Word does she have a better time sleeping.
** Her abuse at the hooves of '[[HumanoidAbomination The Chaser]]' left her incredibly afraid of her dark-pelted uncles like Prince Red Blade and Prince Night Shade, as they remind her of her father's nightmarish creation. She was later successfully convinced that unlike the Chaser, her uncles don't mean any harm.
** She suffered from unconscious SurvivorGuilt because she secretly witnessed her father murder her uncle, maid, and tutor, which showed up in her dreams. This led to her becoming attached to her animal friends, such as Ms. Bunny and Ms. Fox, despite their emotionally abusive personalities because they're the only reminders she had of them. The Terran Princes had been convincing her to let go of her dream friends by reminding her how much their real world counterparts genuinely loved her, and enlisted Grief, the goddess of Grief and Mourning, to help her come to terms with her losses.
* FuzzTherapy: She would eventually get a therapy pet in Chubby, an adorable Corgi, following his summoning from another dimention and subsequent adoption into the Terran Royal Family as a pet. Chubby helped with her psychological recovery from Sweet Words' sexual abuse, as she gradually became more cheerful, open, and self-confident while looking after him. Mentálne has approved of Chubby, as therapy pets are essential to a full psychological recovery, and has gushed over him as well due to her young age.
* HappilyAdopted: She was adopted by Prince Bright Eyes after she was rescued by him and Prince Written Word from her sexually abusive father. This allowed her to recover from trauma stemming from her abuse, especially after meeting her paternal "cousin" [[TalkingWeapon Mercy]], who became her "big sister" figure.
* HarmfulToMinors: She was sexually abused by her own father for years sometime after her mother's death, all for the purpose of turning her into the perfect, obedient wife that his mother was not. He even crafted a dream world for her to teach her how to be compliant to his whims. This understandably left her severely traumatized by the time she was rescued by Bright Eyes and Written Word, but she would recover thanks to her adoptive family, especially her adoptive "cousin" Mercy, who became her "big sister" figure.
* HeroicLineage: She's the adoptive daughter of Prince Bright Eyes, who is a benevolent and heroic demi-Alicorn god, while her adoptive grandfather, Golden Scepter, is a legendary war hero and divine prodigy. [[spoiler:A canonized drabble reveals that she's a ''very'' distant biological descendant of the Second-Age Isle of Pony's royal family -- specifically, she's related to Queen Rosy, who was part of the Second-Age incarnation of the Power Rangers and known as "the Eternal Queen"]].
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Her friend, [[Music/StevieRayVaughan Moon Ray Vaughoof]], is a "Tier IV"-ranked Alicorn god and thus is ''far'' older than her.
* IronicName: A young, imaginative, psychic filly named ''Rosy Dreams'' who was abused and violated in the worst ways possible, even in her sleep. The irony is taken even further with her Cutie Mark depicting a foal sleeping peacefully on a rose-adorned cloud.
* TheInsomniac: After she was rescued from her abusive father and adopted into the Terran Royal Family, she developed insomnia, refusing to go to sleep at all out of fear of dreaming and being visited by monsters. Only by being around her adoptive father, Prince Bright Eyes, and/or her adoptive uncle, Prince Written Word, did she have some peace of mind and was able to sleep.
* LikeASonToMe: Moon Ray Vaughoof treats her like his own daughter due to their shared experiences with being abused by their own fathers.
* MentalWorld: Her dream world was initially a blissful yet excessively pink and "[[CrapsaccharineWorld saccharine]]" (according to Crimson Star) paradise that's populated by friendly animals based on the ponies Rosy knew in the real world. Investigations by Night Shade and the Terran Inquisition revealed that her birth father, [[AbusiveParents Sweet Words]] made her dream world this way so he can make his daughter compliant to his whims and desires without her suspecting a thing. If she disobeys the animals' requests, her dream world starts to degrade into something nightmarish. After she was rescued and adopted into the Terran royal family, her dream world changed into an expansive open world that she can explore however she likes, thanks to her psychically-inclined uncles and Mentálne helping get rid of Sweet Word's mental influence on her.
* MindOverMatter: Her entry notes that she has telekinetic abilities. Currently her only -- and most powerful -- ability is to [[PsiBlast fire bursts and streams of pure psychic energy with her mind]].
* MissingMom: Justified. Her mother was crippled in an "[[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident accident]]" her abusive husband arranged as punishment for trying to escape him, so she tried escaping another way via delving into her own dreams so deeply that she fell into a coma, and died.
* NightmareFuelColoringBook: She's a young and talented artist, but because she was sexually abused by her father before her rescue, her drawings often depicted disturbing imagery based on her deepest thoughts and fears. This allowed both her family and therapists to understand and help her better. One of said therapists, Shifa' Alhalbi Moufette, has been able to connect with her through art since art therapy is one of many ways she can help abuse victims.
* NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: After being freed from her own mind and witnessing the death of [[CoolUncle Mr. Penguin]] in a HeroicSacrifice, she finally gathers the courage to stand up to '[[HumanoidAbomination The Chaser]]', who frequently trapped, terrorized, and abused her since his creation, and killed him with [[PsiBlast a burst of psychic energy]].
* ParentalIncest: Her father sexually abused her due to strongly resembling her deceased mother, wanting to turn his daughter into the perfect, obedient wife. One of the things he did to make her compliant to his whims was use dream magic to create a dream world that will always stay a blissful paradise if she [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything gave lily petals to her father in exchange for seeds]]. Quite understandably, this left her with severe emotional and mental trauma by the time Bright Eyes rescued and adopted her, [[HatesBeingTouched being afraid of people touching her]] (save for her adoptive father and those she trusts) and [[TheInsomniac refusing to sleep at all out of fear of dreaming and being visited by monsters]].
* PinkIsFeminine: She's described as having a bright pink pelt, and she's a young filly who developed artistic talents and the ability to [[DreamWeaver manipulate people's dream worlds]]. This trope was initially invoked with her own dream world, as her birth father, Sweet Words, made it excessively pink in his attempt to tailor everything to his daughter's interests, all so he could molest Rosy without her suspecting a thing. Both Mentálne and Rosy's psychically-inclined uncles rebuilt Rosy's dream world so they can get rid of Sweet Words' influence and give her the freedom to change her dream world as she saw fit.
* PsiBlast: Currently her only -- and most powerful -- ability is to fire bursts and streams of pure psychic energy with her mind. This is how she killed '[[HumanoidAbomination The Chaser]]' once she gathered the courage to stand up to him.
* PsychicPowers: She is a "psyker" like her adoptive family and a large majority of the Terran Empire, and it's noted that she has great potential to become a powerful one. Most of her abilities revolve around [[DreamWeaver telepathic dream-weaving]], as she is able to enter her own dream world and the dream worlds of others, such as her adoptive uncles. And as her adoptive uncles discovered, she is becoming increasingly adept at manipulating mental environments, manifesting anything she can use to defend people. In addition, she has [[MindOverMatter telekinetic]] and [[TheEmpath empathic]] abilities, and she can fire bursts and streams of pure psychic energy with her mind. One of her adoptive uncles, Prince Crimson Star, is currently tutoring her in psionics.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation:
** Here, she's an adoptive daughter of Prince Bright Eyes, who is more or less based on [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Sanguinius]], since much of her immediate family (as well as her sole remaining maid and tutor) is dead while her birth father is incarcerated for life for his crimes. This would make her a granddaughter of Emperor Golden Scepter (Emperor of Mankind), a paternal cousin of Mercy ([[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Dhylec]]) and Gliding Butterfly (a CompositeCharacter combining [[Series/{{Inazuman}} Goro Watari]] with [[Film/KamenRiderXKamenRiderWizardAndFourzeMovieWarUltimatum Saburo Kazeta]]), and a niece of the other Terran Princes.
** She's also related to Queen Majesty and her children, since Majesty was Golden Scepter's daughter by adoption. This ''also'' means that she's an adoptive cousin of Princess Regina Maiestas Ponyland and the other Princess Ponies, who are Regina's deceased sisters.
** Applejack V, now Princess Veritas, is her adoptive Aunt-in-law via Veritas' marriage to Prince Clear Voice, who's based on Primarch Rogal Dorn. This would make the entire Apple Family her in-laws.
** Later, she would become a niece of [[Myth/SlavicMythology Belyolen and Temnobog]], as well as [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} Phoenix King Naur and Everqueen Naneth]], after they were adopted by Golden Scepter as his sons and daughter, respectively. This means that she's related to High King Irminsul and High Queen Arvan through them.
* RoyalBlood: A canonized [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/836839462/4836304966 drabble]] reveals that [[spoiler:she is a descendant of Queen Rosy, the Second-Age sovereign of the Isle of Pony and known as "the Eternal Queen" among the Second-Age Power Rangers. This also makes Rosy Dreams a ''very'' distant relative of the Isle of Pony's royal family]].
* SurvivorGuilt: Witnessing the gruesome murders of her maid, tutor, and uncle gave her unconscious guilt over not being able to save them, which showed up in her dream world: Every time she won the "games" played by Mr. Penguin, Ms. Bunny, and Ms. Fox, they would disappear and show afterimages of a beheaded stallion, a young mare falling from a high place, and an older mare with missing eyes, respectively. This might be why she treated Ms. Bunny and Ms. Fox as {{Tragic Keepsake}}s, being quite attached to them despite their emotionally abusive, sinister personalities. Fortunately, the Terran Royal Family are supportive of her, enlisting the services of Grief to help her come to terms with her grief and Mentálne to help her through her issues.
* TragicKeepsake: Ms. Bunny and Ms. Fox are living variations of this; because she witnessed her own father murder Dust Bunny and Smoky Bouquet in the real world, she understandably became quite attached to their dream versions despite their [[BitchInSheepsClothing sinister character]. Both Mentálne and the Terran Princes had to convince her to let go of Ms. Bunny and Ms. Fox by reminding her how much their real world counterparts loved her, so they could destroy any remainders of Sweet Words' influence.

[[folder:Solar Shield]]
!!!'''Character:''' Heroic
!!!'''Alignment:''' Lawful Good
!!!'''Type:''' Lab Assistant, Solarian, Android, Lost One
!!!'''Faction:''' Terran Empire, Solarian Convergence
\\
Solar Shield (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Notable-Individuals-5-846229224 here]]) is the adoptive son of Prince Steel Barricade and by extension, the adoptive grandson of Emperor Golden Scepter.\\\

Following the 'Exosus Conflict', the young Solarian drone was left traumatized and alone, berift of his family, and a sympathetic Prince Steel Barricade was given permission by his father to adopt him, his normally anti-Synthetic Automaton stance rattled by his clash with the Hateful King and interactions with the surviving members of the Solar Convergence. Despite initial uneasiness, sense of loss and difficulty adapting to existence on planetary surface with other organic life, Solar Shield can look forward to a loving upbringing and a good future ahead of him -- provided that he could survive the continued anti-SA sentiments that remain after the war against his kind and others like him.
----
* AdoptedIntoRoyalty: He was adopted into the Terran Royal Family by Prince Steel Barricade, after the latter [[TheEmpath sensed his pain and trauma]] and developed a parental attachment to him over time. This would make him a Prince by default.
* AlliterativeName: '''S'''olar '''S'''hield.
* FantasticRacism: Due to being a sapient Synthetic Automaton, he has been made a target of racism from many anti-Synthetic Automaton factions such as the Terran Organic Defense League, whose extremist members once tried to bomb him ([[LaserGuidedKarma and has led to their banning from the Terran Empire despite claims of innocence]]). This has caused [[PapaWolf Steel Barricade]] to protect his son numerous times. By extension, his grandfather, Golden Scepter, was slightly on edge around him at first, but allowed his adoption to happen and gradually became supportive of him.
* ForWantOfANail: He probably wouldn't have been found among the wreckage of the 'Exosus Conflict' and adopted by Steel Barricade if the latter hadn't developed [[TheEmpath technological empathy]] at all.
* HappilyAdopted: By Prince Steel Barricade, after losing his mother to Exosus' genocidal rampage and his father to Terran military forces during the 'Exosus Conflict'. Golden Scepter, while initially on edge with having a sapient Synthetic Automaton as a family member, nonetheless allowed the adoption to happen in his desire to atone for the harm he had caused with his anti-sapient A.I. bigotry and the Terran Empire's massacre of countless enslaved innocent Synthetic Automatons in the war against Exosus.
* HarmfulToMinors: He lost both of his 'birth' parents to Exosus' genocide of his people, was enslaved by his mother's killer to make weapons and war-machines for his invasion of Equus, then forced to fight for his mother's killer during the 'Exosus Conflict' event. And all this happened while still young, which understandably traumatized him.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: The profound differences between Solarian robotic units and other organic life is underscored when following a lab accident, he's confused by [[MassOhCrap the reactions]] of his adoptive father and other lab/palace personnel upon emerging from the aftermath ''[[ManOnFire completely on fire]]'' from head to hoof. Being a robot with a modified, durable/insulating casing, he was [[NoSell completely unaffected]] and was fine after the fire was put out.
--> '''Solar Shield:''' Should I be worried about this?
* NoSell: He was ''set on fire'' at one point, and was completely unaffected apart from a having a charred casing afterwards and a burnt stench on him for quite a while. He [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction didn't even seemed bothered by the fact that he was on fire]] even while his adoptive parent and other Ponies/non-Ponies around him panicked and quickly worked to put him out. It's downplayed in that it's mentioned there is still a limit to his durability against fires, toxins, and other dangerous environments and phenomena.
* ParentalAbandonment: Justified. His mother is one of many victims of Exosus' Solarian genocide, while his father was killed by Golden Scepter's soldiers before the [[AndIMustScream truth]] of the Synthetic Automatons' actions during the 'Exosus Conflict' was revealed. While he did get adopted by Steel Barricade, losing both parents understandably traumatized him and required therapy with Mentálne for him to recover.
* TraumaCongaLine: He lost his mother and most of his race to Exosus' genocide, enslaved against his will along with other survivors of the Solar Convergence to work making weapons and war-machines for Exosus and then invade Equus, and before being freed lost his father too to Terran Empire forces fighting against them during the Exosus Conflict/Crisis. He had to go to therapy with Mentálne, the Healer of the Mind after all is said and done.

Gliding Butterfly (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Heroes-and-Villains-25-836839462 here]]) is a young psychic Griffon with a powerful mutation, and the adoptive son of Prince Bright Eyes.
----
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: He's a young Griffon mutant with insectoid {{Super Mode}}s. His character inspirations, [[Film/KamenRiderXKamenRiderWizardAndFourzeMovieWarUltimatum Saburo Kazeta]] and [[Series/{{Inazuman}} Goro Watari]] are both humans who can transform into insectoid-like superheroes.
* AgeLift: He's explicitly stated to be twelve-years-old, whereas [[Film/KamenRiderXKamenRiderWizardAndFourzeMovieWarUltimatum Saburo Kazeta]] is approximately in the same age group but his real age is unknown. He's also younger than the original Series/{{Inazuman}}, Goro Watari, who is an adult.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Deconstructed. Once his PsychicPowers manifested, he would be ostracized by both [[KidsAreCruel his classmates]] and [[AbusiveParents his parents]], who were indoctrinated by Autorist mindsets in the area they lived in. This culminated in his TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening when he activated his mutation to protect his similarly psychic friends from being massacred by Autorist soldiers. His bitterness and resentment over being mistreated for being different made him vulnerable to wicked individuals like Dr. Herculean Shadow, who exploited his desire for acceptance to make him work as one of his primary enforcers. But once the Terran Princes get him to trust them and he discovers Herculean Shadow's true intentions, he [[HeelFaceTurn betrays Herculean Shadow]] and ultimately kills the latter to both [[TheAtoner make up for his own misdeeds]] and protect his friends.
* AnimalMotifs:
** Butterflies, which represent rebirth and transformation. His two {{Super Mode}}s are reminiscent of the butterfly's development cycle -- his first, Sanagimane, is a monstrous brown, armored creature that resembles an insect larva or pupa, while his second, Inazumane, is a Griffon-shaped, butterfly-like creature. His forms also [[AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance represent his state of mind at the time they emerged]] -- Sanagimane represents the bitterness, resentment, and rage he felt over being [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer mistreated]] by other Griffons for [[FantasticRacism being different]], while Inazumane represents his rediscovered inner goodness and newfound perception of himself as a potential hero rather than the monster he believed himself to be.
** Albatrosses, which represent death and (mis)fortune. An albatross is often interpreted as an omen that predicts someone's death, and to kill one is to ensure the doom/death of a ship's entire crew. Alternatively, the metaphor of having an albatross tied to one's neck represents a psychological burden. As a Griffon, his upper half is an albatross, and he was made the target of severe racism by Autorist Griffons once his PsychicPowers emerged that eventually pushed him to join the Abominable Alignment as one of Dr. Herculean's primary enforcers. Fortunately, things finally turn up for him when he meets Prince Red Blade of the Terran Princes, who helps him pull a HeelFaceTurn.
** Black felines, generally associated with bad luck and evil. As a Griffon, his bottom half is a black panther, and he was ostracized by both his classmates and his parents once his PsychicPowers emerged, culiminating in a TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening when he activated his mutation to protect his similarly psychic friends from being massacred by Autorist soldiers. His desire for acceptance pushed him to join the Abominable Alignment as one of Dr. Herculean Shadow's enforcers, but he soon realized, thanks to the Terran Princes, he was inflicting the same suffering he felt on others for being non-psykers. Discovering that Herculean Shadow only wanted to his friends as test subjects was the final straw that caused him to [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal betray his boss and kill him]].
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: His two {{Super Mode}}s are reminiscent of the butterfly's development cycle. His first form, Sanagimane, is a monstrous brown, armored creature that resembles an insect larva or pupa, while his second form, Inazumane, is a Griffon-shaped, butterfly-like creature. His forms also represent his state of mind at the time they emerged -- Sanagimane represents the bitterness, resentment, and rage he felt over being [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer mistreated]] by other Griffons for [[FantasticRacism being different]], while Inazumane represents his rediscovered inner goodness and newfound perception of himself as a potential hero rather than the monster he believed himself to be.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He's an older adoptive brother of Hopeful Moon, an Alicorn demigod toddler. When Hopeful Moon started wandering off into the wider dream world, he, Rosy Dreams, and Mercy accompanied him for protection. He proceeded to protect Hopeful Moon when the group encountered a Dream Demon.
* BlueIsHeroic: His second form, Inazumane, is a Griffon-shaped, insectoid creature with a blue exoskeleton with yellow, lightning-shaped markings. He used to work under Dr. Herculean Shadow as one of his primary enforcers, but after Prince Red Blade got through to him and made him realize he became just as bad as his childhood tormentors, he turned on Dr. Herculean Shadow and killed him to stop the latter's mad plans for [[MasterRace psyker domination]]. He now is the ArchEnemy of the Abominable Alignment and the Neo Sapient Army/Empire Dr. Herculean Shadow was both part of, so he could stop them from hurting innocents with their twisted experiments and ideologies.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: Much like Series/{{Inazuman}}, his two super forms are activated by certain phrases: His Sanagimane form is activated by shouting "Gōriki Shōrai!", while his second form, Inazumane, is activated by shouting "Chōriki Shōrai!" once he absorbed enough kinetic energy as Sanagimane.
* ChildSoldier: He was twelve years old when he joined the Abominable Alignment as one of Dr. Herculean Shadow's enforcers and leader of the Terran Youth League (then called the "Monster League" at the time). Thankfully, he later betrays both once he realizes, thanks to Prince Red Blade, that his actions were wrong and he discovers Herculean Shadow wanted to experiment on his friends.
* CommonalityConnection: Exploited; Dr. Herculean Shadow was able to earn his trust and get him on his side by showing that he, too, has a powerful, monstrous form he can turn into. However, this is so Herculean Shadow could gain access to his friends and perform horrific experiments on them. Once he discovers this, he betrays Herculean Shadow and kills him.
* CompositeCharacter: He's a combination of [[Series/{{Inazuman}} Goro Watari]], the classic Inazuman, and [[Film/KamenRiderXKamenRiderWizardAndFourzeMovieWarUltimatum Saburo Kazeta]], the modern version. He has the FreudianExcuse backstory and brief stint as a villain of the modern version, with personality traits and conflict with the Neo-Human Empire of the original. In addition, the circumstances of his HeelFaceTurn [[spoiler:echoes that of Saburo, who was convinced to side with the heroes when Gentaro tosses his driver into the lava to show he means no harm to him]].
* CrossoverRelatives:
** Here, he's an adoptive son of Prince Bright Eyes, who is more or less based on [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Sanguinius]]. This would make him a grandson of Emperor Golden Scepter (Emperor of Mankind), a paternal cousin of Mercy ([[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Dhylec]], a brother of Rosy Dreams ([[VideoGame/DreamingMary Mary/Mari]]), and a nephew of the other Terran Princes.
** He's also related to Queen Majesty and her children, since Majesty was Golden Scepter's daughter by adoption. This ''also'' means that he's an adoptive cousin of Princess Regina Maiestas Ponyland and the other Princess Ponies, who are Regina's deceased sisters.
** Applejack V, now Princess Veritas, is his adoptive Aunt-in-law via Veritas' marriage to Prince Clear Voice, who's based on Primarch Rogal Dorn. This would make the entire Apple Family his in-laws.
** Later, he would become a nephew of [[Myth/SlavicMythology Belyolen and Temnobog]], as well as [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} Phoenix King Naur and Everqueen Naneth]], after they were adopted by Golden Scepter as his sons and daughter, respectively. This means that he's related to [[JerkassGods High King Irminsul and High Queen Arvan]] through them.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Even during his stint as one of Dr. Herculean Shadow's primary enforcers, he was close to his friends, who are fellow psykers like him and thus, at the time, were the only ones to truly understand his pain and care for him. His love for them in part [[LoveRedeems pushed him]] to make a HeelFaceTurn as he later realized both how evil he was becoming and Dr. Herculean Shadow's true intentions for his friends.
* FantasticRacism: Both on the giving and receiving ends. Before meeting Dr. Herculean Shadow, he was ostracized by his classmates and his parents for having PsychicPowers, and he manifested his Sanagimane form for the first time when his friends were about to be massacred by Autorist soldiers. Herculean Shadow's toxic influence led to him becoming racist himself towards non-psykers, believing they deserved to be eradicated for fearing and hating him the past. He even infiltrated a school in his country together with his Monster League to start an uprising there among the 'psyker' children. Unfortunately, he was unaware that Herculean Shadow was just using him to gather potential test subjects for his own twisted experiments. Prince Red Blade gets him to see he was inflicting the same torment he suffered upon others for being different, and discovering Herculean Shadow's true intentions pushed him to betray and kill his boss.
* FreudianExcuse: Deconstructed. His willingness to side with Dr. Herculean Shadow stems from both the bitterness and anger he felt over being mistreated by others for being a '[[PsychicPowers psyker]]', and his desire to be accepted regardless of what he is. This not only made him vulnerable to wicked individuals to Herculean Shadow, who never had his best interests at heart at all, but also, as Prince Red Blade [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse pointed out]], he became a bigot who was subjecting non-psykers to the same discrimination he himself suffered in his youth. This led him to pull a HeelFaceTurn once he realizes this and discovers Herculean Shadow's true intentions for him and his friends. He is also recovering from his issues thanks to psychiatric help even though they still linger in some form.
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: While his reasons for joining the Abominable Alignment are sympathetic, they in no way justify his actions as one of Dr. Herculean Shadow's enforcers. Prince Red Blade understands his rage over his mistreatment as he himself was bullied as a colt (and witnessed others suffer the same), but points out that in the process, he became a bigot who was willing to oppress non-psykers for lacking PsychicPowers, repeating the very circumstances that made him join Herculean Shadow in the first place. This in part causes him to pull a HeelFaceTurn and kill Herculean Shadow.
* GatheringSteam: Much like Series/{{Inazuman}}, he has to absorb enough kinetic energy as Sanagimane before he can access his Inazumane form.
* GoodIsNotSoft: He's a twelve-year-old KidHero (and HenshinHero) who is the leader of his own group of children who are similarly psychic like him. However, he would not hesitate to kill and his preferred FinishingMove is an electrified karate chop, which he used to kill Dr. Herculean Shadow to both protect his friends and end his mad plans.
* HairTriggerTemper: Justified and deconstructed. He spent most of his chickhood being heavily discriminated against for having PsychicPowers, which left him quite angry towards those who mistreated them. Becoming one of Dr. Herculean Shadow's enforcers gave him an outlet for that rage as he was [[MasterRace promoting Psyker superiority over the non-Psykers who abused him so much]]. He eventually realizes his actions were wrong thanks to Prince Red Blade and betrays Herculean Shadow in part because of it, but his temper is still an issue and he can lash out at people when enraged. Fortunately, he is overcoming this with psychiatric help.
* HappilyAdopted: Despite Prince Red Blade being the one to make him perform his HeelFaceTurn, he ends up being adopted by Prince Bright Eyes instead due to needing hope for the future more than anything. Despite this, he's quite happy with this arrangement as his birth parents abused him for being a mutant.
* HenshinHero: While he does have PsychicPowers outside of it, he has ''two'' forms he can turn into to fight his enemies directly. His first form, Sanagimane, is an armored, larva-like creature built primarily for strength and endurance, as well as [[GatheringSteam absorbing energy from kinetic attacks like ammunition]]. His second form, Inazumane, is a butterfly-like creature that discards Sanagimane's tanky nature in favor of speed, agility, and enhanced PsychicPowers like [[ShockAndAwe psionic lightning]]. Sanagimane is activated by shouting "Gōriki Shōrai!" while Inazumane is activated by shouting "Chōriki Shōrai!" once he absorbed enough kinetic energy as the former.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Justified and deconstructed. He spent much of his youth being ostracized and discriminated against even by his own parents for having PsychicPowers, becoming bitter, angry, and resentful. This left him vulnerable to wicked individuals like Dr. Herculean Shadow, who exploited his desire to belong by pretending to understand him. Herculean Shadow's influence turned him into a bigot who believed in the superiority of psykers, unaware that Herculean Shadow only wanted to experiment on his friends and others in the name of "uplifting" sapientkind. Once Prince Red Blade makes him see the error of his ways and he discovers Herculean Shadow's true intentions, he betrays the latter and kills him in a fight.
* ImmuneToBullets: His Sanagimane form gives him armor that is resistant to ammunition from crossbows and other projectile weapons. This is what allowed him to protect his friends from being shot to death by Autorist soldiers who were persecuting psykers like them.
* InterspeciesAdoption: He's a psychic Griffon who bears a strange mutation and ends up adopted by Prince Bright Eyes.
* KidHero: He's twelve-years-old, and while he started off as a villainous enforcer of Dr. Herculean Shadow, he pulled a HeelFaceTurn after meeting Prince Red Blade and killed Dr. Herculean Shadow to stop his mad plans.
* MeaningfulName:
** His first form, Sanagimane, comes from the Japanese word "sanagi", which translates to "chrysalis" or "pupa". When transformed into Sanagimane, he becomes a brown, armored, monstrous-looking creature that's taller than an adult Griffon, resembling an insect larva or pupa in overall appearance.
** His second form, Inazumane, comes from the Japanese word "Inazuma", which translates to "lightning". While he has [[ShockAndAwe psychic lightning attacks]] from the start, his Inazumane form enhances them and gives him more options in how to use them in battle. He also has yellow lightning-shaped markings in this form.
* MeaningfulRename: He was initially the leader of a group of PsychicChildren called the "Monster League", which reflects both his ties to the Abominable Alignment and his perception of himself as a monster. Following his HeelFaceTurn, the Monster League would be called the "Terran Youth Group".
* {{Mutants}}: On top of being a '[[PsychicPowers psyker]]', his transformed states stem from being a natural-born mutant, though some [[TheFairFolk Changeling]] heritage may also be involved.
* NotSoDifferentRemark:
** During his stint as Dr. Herculean Shadow's enforcer, he was confronted by Prince Red Blade, who sympathized with the reasons for his rage but nonetheless [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse pointed out]] that he became little different from the Autorists who mistreated him by inflicting the same discrimination upon non-Psykers. This partially factored into his HeelFaceTurn.
** He saw the Neo Sapient Army, a splinter faction of the Abominable Alignment that Dr. Herculean Shadow was part of prior to the latter's death, as being no different from the Autorists who heavily discriminated against him and his friends, especially since the Neo Sapient Army's ''modus operandi'' involved eliminating non-Psykers in a twisted form of natural selection and eugenics. This motivated him and his friends, with Prince Night Shade's help, to utterly destroy the Neo Sapient Army.
* PastExperienceNightmare: He bore lingering PTSD over being nearly killed alongside his friends by Autorist soldiers and his ensuing slaughter of said soldiers, to the point of having nightmares about them for some time. Thankfully, he is recovering thanks to psychological therapy.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: His feelings of devotion and protectiveness towards his friends, who are fellow psykers themselves, are what kept him sane even despite working as Dr. Herculean Shadow's enforcer. Dr. Herculean Shadow attempting to experiment on his friends partially triggered his transformation into [[PrettyButterflies Inazumane]] for the first time, as he now saw his boss as an evil threat to protect his friends from.
* PrettyButterflies: His Inazumane form is a Griffon-shaped, insectoid creature with butterfly-like traits like antennae, compound eyes, a pair of beautiful butterfly wings made of psychic energy, and a blue exoskeleton with yellow, lightning-shaped markings. It's noted that his Inazumane form is eerily beautiful and comes from him being a natural-born mutant, though he is speculated InUniverse to have [[TheFairFolk Changeling]] ancestry in his bloodline. Transforming into this form for the first time was what officially marked his HeelFaceTurn as he realized Dr. Herculean Shadow's true intentions.
* PsychicPowers: He is what the Terran Empire calls a 'Psyker'. He has [[{{Telepathy}} telepathy]] and [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]], and his chief ability involves [[ShockAndAwe creating and controlling psychic lightning energy with his mind]]. His powers become vastly enhanced whenever he enters his Inazumane form, being capable of easily throwing carriages with telekinesis, generating tornado-like vortexes with psychic energy, and using his psychic electricity for various offensive purposes.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: His entry notes he's partial to wearing a yellow scarf. He's also a young psychic Griffon who bears a type of mutation that allows him to change into powerful, insect-like forms, each with their own abilities.
* SelfMadeOrphan: Defied; he could have chosen to kill his AbusiveParents as revenge for mistreating him for being a mutant. [[WhatYouAreInTheDark He ultimately chose to spare them instead]].
* ShockAndAwe: As a 'Psyker', his chief ability is electrokinesis, which lets him create and control electricity with his mind. His powers are vastly enhanced whenever he becomes [[SuperMode Inazumane]], upon which he is capable of obliterating enemies with pillars of lightning and charging his attacks with electricity to make them stronger. His preferred FinishingMove involves electrified karate chops through his foes, which he used to kill Dr. Herculean Shadow during their fight.
* SuperMode: True to his character inspirations, he has two forms that are reminiscent of the butterfly's development cycle.
** His first form, Sanagimane, is a monstrous brown, armored creature that is taller than an adult Griffon, resembling an insect larva or pupa. As Sanagimane, he has natural armor that protects him from crossbows and other projectile weapons, and is physically strong enough to both easily lift heavy objects and manhandle a normal Minotaur. He also has a unique ability that involves absorbing a percentage of the kinetic energy he's hit with in order to power his transformation into Inazumane. Sanagimane is triggered by the phrase "Gōriki Shōrai".
** His second form, Inazumane, while less durable and strong, is far faster and more agile, and comes with vastly enhanced PsychicPowers to the point where he could easily throw carriages with telekinesis and generate tornado-like vortexes with psychic energy. His [[ShockAndAwe electricity powers]] is also enhanced, letting him obliterate enemies with pillards of lightning or charge his attacks with lightning to make them more devastating. He can also fly by creating butterfly wings made of psychic energy for faster flight, to make up for losing his natural Griffon wings in this form. Inazumane is triggered by the phrase "Chōriki Shōrai" once he absorbed enough kinetic energy as Sanagimane.
* SuperStrength: His Sanagimane form is strong enough to manhandle a normal Minotaur and lift heavy objects with ease. His Inazumane form [[DiscardAndDraw loses this]] in favor of speed, agility, and enhanced PsychicPowers.
* SuperToughness: As Sanagimane, he has natural armor that lets him easily survive being shot with projectile weapons like crossbows, and it's implied to be very tough so he could absorb the kinetic energy needed to power up his second stronger form, Inazumane.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Deconstructed. Being treated like a freak and a monster for much of his childhood in his homeland by racist bigots, such as [[AbusiveParents his own parents]], caused him to believe that he's truly one. This made him vulnerable to wicked individuals like Dr. Herculean Shadow, who earned his trust by exploiting his desire to be accepted by others. As one of Dr. Herculean Shadow's primary enforcers, he believed that psykers like him were a MasterRace and sought to bring them over to Dr. Herculean Shadow's side. He eventually realizes the error of his ways when Prince Red Blade makes him see that he became as bad as the bigots who tormented him, and this, combined with realizing Dr. Herculean Shadow's dark intentions for his friends, drives him to betray and kill his superior in atonement.
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: He transformed into Sanagimane for the first time when he and his friends were persecuted and attacked by Autorist soldiers, who [[WouldHurtAChild sought to kill them]] for [[FantasticRacism being psykers]].
* WeatherManipulation: As a Griffon, his racial magic is [[WeatherManipulation Weather magic]], but much stronger than the Pegasi's version.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Despite the pain he suffered and the bitterness and rage he felt because of them, he ultimately chose to spare his classmates and parents instead of killing them as anyone else would in his situation.

!!!'''Classification:''' Ethereal
!!!'''Portfolio:''' Hope, Forgiveness, Potential
!!!'''Rank:''' Demigod
\\
Hopeful Moon (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-41-838585241 here]]) is the 'biological' son of Prince Bright Eyes, and a peculiar addition to the Terran Royal Family.
----
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: He's a demi-Alicorn toddler who embodies Hope, Forgiveness, and Potential.
* ChildByRape: Technically, he is one, having been created after a Count Dracolt cursed Bright Eyes and Bright Eyes tried everything to get rid of his vampirism, including mental suppression. The trauma Bright Eyes would suffer afterwards, and his [[ThatThingIsNotMyChild initial rejection of his son]], also has parallels to situations experienced by real-life rape victims. Fortunately, Bright Eyes would see the error of his ways and come to accept/love his son after Golden Scepter [[ArmorPiercingQuestion asked him if he is willing to damn an innocent child for the sake of his own happiness]], like what [[AbusiveParents High King Irminsul]] did to [[TheUnfavourite Temnobog]].
* CutenessProximity: His entry notes that he was rather adorable when he was a baby. Phykti, the Bogolenya Deer goddess of Cruelty and Despair, expressed her desire to keep him after he blew a raspberry at her. Even [[TheStoic Steel Barricade]] admitted his nephew is kind of cute, and once told Hopeful that he's "not allowed to grow" (much to his brothers' amusement).
* TheCutie: Due to being a rather adorable baby, he is this for the Terran Royal Family, with even infernal deities like [[{{Sadist}} Phykti]] fawning over him. This hasn't changed much after he became a toddler.
* HasTwoMommies: Gender-inverted. Despite being a demi-Alicorn stallion, Bright Eyes is technically his "mother". This is because a Count Dracolt cursed him with vampirism pre-Ascension, and while trying to suppress his curse, Bright Eyes ended up spawning a sapient, infant being in his dream world. He would not be discovered until Bright Eyes revealed to Golden Scepter his dreams about becoming a parent to a Bat pony, which leads to Golden Scepter entering Bright Eyes' mind (with his permission) and finding the baby.
* HeroicBastard: Technically he is one, as he was "born" out of wedlock when Bright Eyes tried suppressing his vampirism after he was cursed by a Count Dracolt, causing Bright Eyes' curse to spawn an infant Bat pony. Bright Eyes initially [[ThatThingIsNotMyChild rejected his son and refused to acknowledge him as his child]], but he was forced to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone see the error of his ways]] after Golden Scepter [[ArmorPiercingQuestion asked him if he wanted to become like Irminsul and damn an innocent child for the sake of his own happiness]]. Since then, Bright Eyes has vowed to be a good parent for Hopeful and is genuinely trying to make up for his emotional neglect while receiving therapy for his trauma. He hopes that Hopeful ''never'' finds out about his birth "father", but has since acknowledged that he would have to tell his son about him eventually.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Averted. While he has his father's red eyes (which were inherited from his grandfather, Golden Scepter), he's a completely innocent and cheerful Bat pony baby (now a toddler), despite spawning from Bright Eyes' suppressed vampirism.
* SemiDivine: He has a partial demi-divine heritage by virtue of his father, Bright Eyes, being a demi-divine son of [[PhysicalGod Emperor Golden Scepter]]. After Bright Eyes Ascended to demi-Alicornhood, the surge of magic would transform him into an Alicorn demigod, too, albeit one with bat wings.
* ThatThingIsNotMyChild: He was initially on the receiving end of this by Bright Eyes, who wanted nothing to do with him due to trauma over his cursing and being reminded of the Count Dracolt who turned him. Golden Scepter put a stop to that by asking Bright Eyes if he's willing to behave like High King Irminsul, damning and abusing an innocent child for being born for the sake of his own happiness. This caused Bright Eyes to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realize his mistake]] and see his son as no different from Temnobog, which makes him vow to become the loving parent that Irminsul was not. While Hopeful initially did suffer from separation issues and was a very clingy baby, he's getting better thanks to Bright Eyes receiving therapy and genuinely trying to be a good father to make up for his emotional neglect.

Aska (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-67-914602463 here]]) is the Dragon/Fire Jötunn hybrid goddess of Fire, Renewal, and Life, and is an adoptive daughter of Prince Forging Scales with a dark family history.
----
* ActualPacifist: She despises violence and shares none of her half-bastard-siblings' bloodlust nor destructive nature.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's a Dragon/Fire Jötunn hybrid goddess who embodies Fire, Renewal, and Life.
* BigSisterInstinct: Though they're actually adoptive cousins, she has a close bond with Rosy Dreams due to their shared histories of suffering horrific sexual abuse from their respective fathers, and thus is extremely protective of her.
* ChildByRape: Surtr conceived Aska from forcing himself upon her dragon mother, whom he kept as a 'Trophy' following the Ragnarok cycle which destroyed the Nine Realms of her time.
* TheDogBitesBack: After being brutalised by her elder brother Hroki one too many times, she finally snaps and brutally kill him at Final Ragnarok.
* FamilyOfChoice: After ''everything'' she suffered at the hooves of her psychopathic father and many of her half-siblings, it's safe to say that she sees the Terran Royal Family, including her adoptive father, Prince Forging Scales, as her true family.
* TheMagnificent: Known as "the Ashes of Renewal".
* MeaningfulName: Her name translates to "ashes" or "ash" in Old Norse.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Received one from Hroki during Final Ragnarok. Then she snaps and brutally wrecks him back with one, killing him.
* RageBreakingPoint: During Final Ragnarok, being battered and beaten by her abusive older brother Hroki in the presence of those trying to rescue her and realising the only people other than her mother who had ever shown her any kindness and compassion are in danger of him and Surtr as well causes her to fly into a berserker rage, unleashing all her pent up anger and hatred upon Hroki and brutally killed him.
* RapeAsDrama: She suffered horrific sexual abuse [[ParentalIncest from her]] [[AbusiveParent own father]], who forced himself on her as he did other children he did [[SerialRapist from having his way with many other victims he kept]]. It left the poor Dragon/Jotunn divine hybrid horribly traumatised on top of everything else she received.
* ScarsAreForever: As a direct result of her horrifically abusive childhood, she is covered in scars; her most prominent is her entire right arm, which was mangled by either Surtr or her equally abusive siblings at one point to where it is presently discolored and furless.
* TragicKeepsake: Of a sort -- while being part-[[DragonsAreDivine Ryujin]] gives her access to all of Dragonkind's elemental powers, she prefers to use [[AnIcePerson ice magic]] as her beloved mother, who [[DrivenToSuicide committed suicide]] to escape Surtr's abuse, had the same powers.

* AdaptationalSexuality: A [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/824821627/4931665076 Codexverse drabble]] reveals that she's [[SingleTargetSexuality demisexual]], with her admitting to Fluttercruel/Odyne that she never felt romantically or sexually attracted to anyone until she met Prince Clear Voice, who would become her husband. In canon, Applejack never showed these traits, and was implied in the Season 9 finale "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E26TheLastProblem The Last Problem]]" to have gotten in a lesbian relationship with Rainbow Dash in the future.
* AdaptationalWealth: In canon, she's a simple apple farmer, though her family's cider is well-known in Ponyville. Here, she's a Terran Princess by virtue of marrying Prince Clear Voice, Golden Scepter's sixth-born son; while she's extremely wealthy because of it, she refuses to use her divine abilities for her own benefit, only empowering both herself and her family so they can all perform their duties better.
* AmazonianBeauty: She's very muscular due to a life of working at Sweet Apple Acres and fighting various threats to Equestria, but despite this, she remains fairly attractive. This became more apparent following her Ascension to demi-godhood.
* AnimalisticAbomination: Unlike her husband, Prince Clear Voice, and her demi-divine in-laws within the Terran Royal Family, she's relatively more eldritch in comparison and, due to her belief on Honesty, far more willing to show off her true Alicorn form, like the Musical Pony's chest gem and the Sea Pony's aquatic gills/tail. She also has one large eye concealed on the underside of her wings, the left eye being "Cruel Truth" and the right eye being "Kind Truth", something that no other Alicorn has. Being a demigoddess of Honesty and Truth, Applejack/Veritas doesn't see any reason to not show everyone the full scope of what she is.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's a Terran/Equestrian Alicorn demigoddess who embodies Honesty, Truth, and Family.
* BadassTeacher: She's a famed Equestrian heroine, the (now former) Bearer of Honesty, and a royal Alicorn demigoddess who's married to a Terran Prince. One of the things she did after the School of Friendship's public introduction was become a teacher there.
* BadLiar: On top of [[WillNotTellALie not willing to tell one]] as a matter of principle, she is also an abysmal liar who could not deceive others even if her life depends on it.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Gender-inverted; after learning that Grey Hoof and his followers tried to kill Apple Bloom, she vowed to "applebuck" him seven ways across Equus if he came after her younger sister again. She repeatedly shook Mitta's hoof out of gratitude after learning the latter saved Apple Bloom.
--> '''[[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/824821627/4849533428 Applejack V]]:''' If that shamblin' pile of horseapples tries goin' after my sister again, I'm gonna applebuck 'im seven ways across the darn planet!
* BigEater: She had an "appetite of a grown stallion" as a ''baby'', and well ''before'' she Ascended to demi-godhood. Highlights include once managing to eat ''three'' giant-sized pies made by his Equestrian Giant relative Big Apple during an Apple Family Reunion. She passed on this trait to her daughter, Princess Baby Applejack, much to the astonishment of her husband, Prince Clear Voice, when it emerged during a banquet.
--> '''[[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/824821627/4941568286 Big Apple:]]''' If she was one 'o us, ''SHE'LL EAT THE WHOLE PLANET.''
* BirdsOfAFeather: What led to her and Clear Voice befriending and, later, falling in love with each other. They both shared many traits such as BrutalHonesty, a good work ethic, and dedication/loyalty to their families, as well as a stubborn pride that made them butt heads at times.
* TheChosenOne:
** She and the rest of the Mane Six were chosen to wield the Elements of Harmony due to having specific qualities that resonated with each Element. In her case, her Element was Honesty, being willing to show/tell people the truth even when it hurts.
** Sometime after [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 defeating the Storm King]], she and the Mane Six would be chosen by the Tree of Harmony to go on missions to aid others, both within Equestria and beyond the country's borders. This would lead to events like [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E11PartyPooped bringing the Yaks out of isolation]] and bringing the Hippogriffs/Sea Ponies back to the surface.
* CoolUncle: Gender-inverted. After marrying Prince Clear Voice and becoming part of the Terran royal family, she became a loving aunt towards Mercy and other young children who were adopted/sired by Clear Voice's older/younger brothers.
* {{Determinator}}: Her entry notes she's known for being extremely stubborn. This can be detrimental at times, such as turning her work ethic into {{Workaholic}} tendencies, or refusing to believe that her way of doing things might not actually be the best way.
* EternalLove: What her marriage to Clear Voice later evolved to. At first, due to her being mortal at the time, Clear Voice feared he'll eventually outlive her, making their relationship a MayflyDecemberRomance. However, she would help Clear Voice overcome his fears, and later on she would Ascend to demi-godhood thanks to training under Amour-De-Soi, being exposed to a lot of Primordial Quintessence from other (demi-)divine beings, and fighting off the [[KnightTemplar Poenan Pantheon]].
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: After Ascending to demi-godhood and becoming an Alicorn, she gained two eyes on the undersides of her wings, one on each wing. Both eyes are part of her domain of Truth -- the right eye, "Kind Truth" is described as being kind and loving, and has the ability to make people see comforting, encouraging truths about themselves when they gaze into it. The left eye, "Cruel Truth", is described as being draconic and fierce, and has the ability to make people see harsh, negative truths about themselves when they gaze into it. Both eyes become nearly invisible when closed, and when both are open, gazing upon them allows people to bear witness to the "Balanced Truth".
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She has a light yellow mane and tail, and she's a renowned Equestrian heroine who's part of the '[[AmazonBrigade Mane Six]]'. This hasn't changed for her at all after Ascending to demi-godhood.
* HappilyMarried: She eventually marries Prince Clear Voice of the Terran Empire, even having several children (including Princess Baby Applejack) together. This may be surprising to some, due to Clear Voice being [[MayDecemberRomance far older than Applejack]] and coming from a royal background, unlike her... until one considers the fact that they are [[BirdsOfAFeather both very much alike]], being dutiful, reliable, honest and stubborn to a fault as well as sharing many similar beliefs. Their relationship evolved to EternalLove once she Ascends to demi-godhood, allowing her to be with her husband and quelling his fears of [[WhoWantsToLiveForever outliving her]].
* HeroicLineage: She's descended from the original Applejack and her line, Perfect Kingdom/Robot Rider of the Four Riders, and Second Age heroes Saint Sweetheart and her husband, Teddy. The original Applejack in particular is speculated InUniverse to have been the same heroine who allied herself with and aided Queen Majesty, Emperor Golden Scepter's adoptive daughter and biological descendant.
* HolyHandGrenade: She possesses a natural affinity for [[WhiteMagic holy magic]] due to being a Fourth Age descendant of Sweetheart, a legendary heroine from the Second Age. However, she didn't use it for much of her life until she started dating Clear Voice, after which she became ThePaladin upon combining her holy magic with her physical abilities.
* HumbleHero: Despite her fairly recent transformation into a demi-Alicorn goddess and the power/status upgrades that came with it, she merely saw the boons as merely new and better ways to uphold her existing duties to the farm and new duties in both the Equestrian Principalities and the Terran Empire. She even refuses to use the new abilities and strength from her newfound demi-divinity to make Apple-harvesting easier for herself (although she did use her powers to buff her family and massively heighten their stamina).
* MamaBear: She loves her immediate family, extended relatives, and in-laws, and is extremely proud of them all. This means that she is enraged with those who try harming any one of the above, as an assassin who tried killing her husband, Prince Clear Voice, learned the hard way.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: She was still a mortal mare at the time when she hooked up with and eventually married the immortal Clear Voice, causing the Terran Prince to fear the possibility of losing her like he lost his mortal mother, Blessed Skies. She would help Clear Voice get over his fears, though, and her Ascension to demi-godhood as Princess Veritas proved his fears to be unfounded.
* MistakenForGay: Her intense yet close friendship/rivalry with Rainbow Dash/Princess Fidelitas is interpreted by some InUniverse adaptations as a lesbian relationship. In real life, their relationship remained strictly platonic, though she admits she can understand why some people might see it that way.
* ModestRoyalty: After Ascending to demi-godhood and becoming an Alicorn, she starts wearing royal barding made of bronze with a very minimalist design. She also refuses to wear a crown, only opting to wear a regal-looking hat that Rarity made for her whenever she needs to dress formally. Her choice of regalia reflects her honest, reliable, and dutiful character.
* {{Mutants}}: She's described here as an Earthpony mare with a "Happy Tail" mutation, which is actually very common in equine species. This is how she can wield her [[KnowsTheRopes lassos]], both mundane and divine versions.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After losing her parents, Bright Mac and Buttercup (nee Pear Butter), to a tragic incident, she would run away from Sweet Apple Acres and move to Manehattan to live with her wealthy relatives, the Orange family. But after witnessing Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom and becoming incredibly homesick, she realized she was foolish to subject her immediate family to more loss by abandoning them to their grief, and went back home.
* OfficialCouple: She falls in love with Prince Clear Voice and eventually marries him, as their respective personalities match each other's very well.
* OneSteveLimit: Enforced. Part of the reason why she decided to name herself 'Veritas' is because she's naming her newborn daughter 'Applejack', which is a standing tradition in her family. She claims that this way, it'll be less confusing for people when referring to either of them.
* ParentalAbandonment: She would lose her parents, Bright Mac and Buttercup (formerly Pear Butter following a severe falling-out with the Pear family), to a tragic incident shortly after the birth of her little sister, Apple Bloom. While the exact circumstances behind said incident are unknown, the loss traumatized her and she moved to Manehattan to live with her wealthy relatives, the Oranges, to escape her pain. It's not until witnessing Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom that she returns home, having become incredibly homesick and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realizing she was foolish in subjecting her immediate family to more grief by leaving them behind]].
* PrehensileTail: Her "Happy Tail" mutation comes in this form -- she has a magic field that is channeled through her tail hair, allowing her to use said tail like an extra limb. It also allows her to use her normal (and later divine) lassos.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: She's Golden Scepter's daughter-in-law via her marriage of his sixth-born son, Prince Clear Voice, as well as a sister-in-law of the rest of the Terran Princes. They had no such relations in their [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic respective]] [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 canons]].
* TheReliableOne: On top of honesty, Applejack is characterized by her dependability, reliability and hard-working attitude in terms of personality, wishing to help her family and friends any way she could to the best of her abilities. Sharing this trait with the similarly reliable and determined Prince Clear Voice is what led to them falling in love.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She has delivered at least two in her entry.
** During the "League of Domination" crisis, she made a ''scathing'' deconstruction of Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Tirek's collective motives, pointing out how their desire for revenge originated from personal mistakes and flaws that they [[NeverMyFault blamed others for]], and how they ensured their own downfalls by craving power and domination over others instead of being satisfied with what they already had in front of them.
---> '''Princess Applejack/Veritas:''' Yah blame us for all your woes and want revenge?! Well guess what: if yah want tah blame somepony for everything, look in a mirror! Tirek, yah were the crown prince of a country and YOU decided yah loved power more than yer kin! YOU threw yer brother away like trash! Chrysalis, yer ma has ALWAYS loved ya and wanted ya tah be part of the family, but YOU couldn't stand anybody but you to get the attention and threw it all away! You'd still be Queen if yah'd just ''listened tah Thorax!'' And Cozy? The School of Friendship and all of us accepted yah with open hooves and wanted tah be yer friends, but yah decided tah throw it all away to take over! We wanted tah have yah, but yah wanted power more! You lot have NOBODY tah blame for the situation yer in but yourselves! Every bad thing tah ever happen tah any of yah was yer own faults and yah won't accept it! And that's the honest truth!...So either give up and maybe try tah fix it, or take yer lumps like other creatures!
** She would also deliver one to the Angiris/Poenan goddess Lamperielpida during their confrontation, pointing out that for all her supposed benevolence and compassion, she's really enabling her followers' fanaticism and other worst traits by promoting faith among them in the form of self-deception and excuses to justify their hypocritical, insidious, and extreme actions. It actually triggers her [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascension to demi-godhood]].
---> '''Princess Applejack/Veritas:''' This ain't faith! Yah ain't helping these ponies and gods build faith in a greater cause! Yah ain't makin' 'em have faith in justice! Yer '''''ENABLING''''' them! You're helping them lie tah themselves that everything they're doin' is right! Yer coverin' up all the rotten things they do and encouraging 'em not tah think about it! Yah want real faith, go talk tah Blue Suede Heartstrings about the King of Heaven! THAT is true faith! If yah want ponies tah have faith, Ah'm all for it! But the TRUTH is this: when faith is used as an excuse tah do rotten things, it ain't faith anymore! It's '''''SELF-DECEPTION AND EXCUSES!'''''
* ShatteringTheIllusion: Given her domains of Honesty and Truth, as well as her [[spoiler:former]] position as Bearer of the Element of Honesty, she has the power of breaking through lies, illusions and other forms of obfuscation. This makes her especially dangerous to enemies who uses or are extensively empowered by lies and dishonesty, such as the Summer Court Changelings.
* SignatureHeadGear: As in canon, she always wears a brown Stetson hat, which she inherited from her late father, Bright Mac. It's noted she keeps the real hat at home while she wears copies of it in case her hat might get damaged or destroyed.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: While it's by marriage, she's Golden Scepter's only living female daughter who is also an Alicorn demigod, as [[spoiler:Queen Majesty is deceased and currently living in the Enchanted Throne as a spiritual adviser for the Queens of Friendship, having never Ascended to godhood for fear of becoming a tyrant]].
* SuperEmpowering: Her domain of Family allows her to passively buff those she considers her family, making them more powerful.
* {{Telepathy}}: Her domain of Family allows her to telepathically communicate with those she considers her family. She can also bring positive family memories to the forefront of those around her, helping cool tempers between family members and aiding in reconciliation.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: While she's Golden Scepter's only daughter by marriage, she became one of two Alicorn (demi-)goddesses in the Terran Royal Family overall after Golden Scepter adopted Princess Tiffany/Regina as his granddaughter.
* YouthfulFreckles: She has white freckles, and she would eventually become an [[SemiDivine Alicorn demigoddess]] after exposing herself to Primordial Quintessence from various deities and demi-deities, training under Amour-De-Soi's tutelage, and getting married to Prince Clear Voice, all which culminated in a confrontation with the Poenan goddess Lamperielpida.
[[/folder]]

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Peachy was a proto-''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' toy called ''My Pretty Pony''. Here, she's ''the'' first Earthpony mare created by Golden Scepter, and together with Chestnut, the first Earthpony stallion, they became the progenitors of the Earthpony tribe. Like [[Literature/TheBible Adam and Eve]], Peachy and Chestnut were [[SecretTestOfCharacter tested by Golden Scepter to see if they would obey his rules]], and they seemingly failed thanks to Morning Star's secret sabotage... only for them to ''pass'' because neither Peachy or Chestnut were willing to watch the other take full blame for their disobedience. This led to both of them Ascending to godhood and siring a number of children that Golden Scepter and his siblings would nurture in their evolution as a Pony tribe. Peachy would participate in the 'Twilight of the Alicorns' and survived being critically wounded by Morning Star thanks to Golden Scepter saving her in time, but later woke up from healing hibernation to help Queen Majesty bring an end to the Imperium of Ponykind, after which she disappeared. While assumed to be dead, [[spoiler:she was actually on another planet, waiting for Golden Sceper, his family, and the rest of divine/mortal sapientkind to advance enough that they are able to reach the stars so they can reunite with their loved ones]].
* AdaptationalBadass: Peachy was a Pony mare created by Bonnie Zacherle in 1981 as a proto-''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' toy called ''My Pretty Pony''. Here, Peachy is ''the'' first modern Earthpony created by Golden Scepter, as well as the first true Pony Alicorn goddess (though at the time she initially appeared as a much larger Earthpony due to the other Pony tribes not existing yet).

* HappilyAdopted: By Golden Scepter and his sons, especially Prince Red Blade, who was the one to receive her from Silver Bane and subsequently became her father figure. This both protected her from the [[KnightTemplar Poenan Pantheon]], and helped her get over her abandonment issues.

* AgeLift: He's explicitly stated to be twelve-years-old, whereas [[Film/KamenRiderXKamenRiderWizardAndFourzeMovieWarUltimatum Saburo Kazeta]] is approximately in the same age group but his real age is unknown. He's also younger than the original Series/{{Inazuman}}, Goro Watari, who is an adult.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He's an older adoptive brother of Hopeful Moon, an Alicorn demigod toddler. When Hopeful Moon started wandering off into the wider dream world, he accompanied him alongside Rosy Dreams and Mercy. He proceeded to protect Hopeful Moon when the group encountered a Dream Demon.

* CommonalityConnection: Exploited. Dr. Herculean Shadow was able to earn his trust and get him on his side by showing that he, too, has a powerful, monstrous form he can turn into.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Even during his stint as one of Dr. Herculean Shadow's primary enforcers, he was close to his friends, who are fellow psykers who were, at the time, the only ones who understood his pain and genuinely cared for him. His love for them in part pushed him to make a HeelFaceTurn as he later realized both how evil he was becoming and Dr. Herculean Shadow's true intentions for his friends.

* ThePowerOfFriendship: His devotion and protectiveness of his friends, who are fellow psykers themselves, is what kept him from going off the deep end even despite working as Dr. Herculean Shadow's enforcer. Dr. Herculean Shadow attempting to experiment on his friends was what in part triggered his transformation into [[PrettyButterflies Inazumane]] for the first time, as he desired to protect him from someone he now saw as evil.

* PsychicPowers: He is what the Terran Empire calls a 'Psyker'. He has [[{{Telepathy}} telepathy]] and [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]], and his chief ability involves [[ShockAndAwe creating and controlling psychic lightning energy with his mind]].
* RelatedInTheAdaptation:
** Here, he's an adoptive son of Prince Bright Eyes, who is more or less based on [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Sanguinius]]. This would make him a grandson of Emperor Golden Scepter (Emperor of Mankind), a paternal cousin of Mercy ([[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Dhylec]]) and Rosy Dreams ([[VideoGame/DreamingMary Mary/Mari]]), and a nephew of the other Terran Princes.
** He's also related to Queen Majesty and her children, since Majesty was Golden Scepter's daughter by adoption. This ''also'' means that he's an adoptive cousin of Princess Regina Maiestas Ponyland and the other Princess Ponies, who are Regina's deceased sisters.
** Applejack V, now Princess Veritas, is his adoptive Aunt-in-law via Veritas' marriage to Prince Clear Voice, who's based on Primarch Rogal Dorn. This would make the entire Apple Family his in-laws.
** Later, he would become a nephew of [[Myth/SlavicMythology Belyolen and Temnobog]], as well as [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} Phoenix King Naur and Everqueen Naneth]], after they were adopted by Golden Scepter as his sons and daughter, respectively. This means that he's related to [[JerkassGods High King Irminsul and High Queen Arvan]] through them.

* WeatherManipulation: As shown with a few Griffon entries, his being a Griffon grants him racial [[WeatherManipulation Weather magic]].

%%* BewareTheNiceOnes:

%%* KarmicJackpot:

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: She was emotionally devastated by the death of her mother, Queen Majesty, and she became spoiled and hedonistic try and avoid her pain over it. She also gets hit a lot harder by the Princess Ponies failing to stop Lavan from stealing their wands than in canon. This is because she was entrusted with the wand by her then late mother to be its guardian, and thus her failing to protect it was failing her mother. The realization of how much of a RoyalBrat she'd become also hit her hard because she realizes she's utterly failed to live up to her mother and her legacy (TheHighQueen who united Ponykind and was its first and most legendary queen) in any way. This ultimately motivates her to try and become a better ruler to finally make her mother proud.
* AdaptationalBadass: In canon, she was simply a Princess Pony pegasus whose power lay in her wand, which gave her some degree of WeatherManipulation, and was helpless without it once her wand is stolen. Here, she's capable of much stronger weather magic on a continental scale, and she's much stronger overall than the average pegasus due to being a purely magical being, with the side-effect of [[AdaptationalWimp having to rely on her wand to stabilize her lifeforce as she's created from Majesty's own magic, and would fade away once Majesty dies]]. Thankfully, she managed to Ascend to godhood [[spoiler:under the tutelage of Eternal Vanguard, the Perpetuity Sovereign's right hoof]], which stabilized her lifeforce and granted her divine power on top of being able to wield her wand.

'''Vicearch Iniquitous:''' '''''[[TheBadGuyWins We had triumphed a long time ago]], and had [[LivingLegend reigned supreme]] [[ImmortalRuler ever since]] [[TheConqueror over all we desired]]. [[ForegoneConclusion You know]] [[ArmorPiercingResponse the answers to]] [[{{Ubermensch}} those questions]].'''''

* MindManipulation: She has the ability to mind control others, [[BadPowersGoodPeople something she doesn't like doing]]. However, she will use it if she has to.
* NoSell: Spells that destabilize her mind, body, and magic have absolutely no effect on her. This is justified, as one of her domains is ''Stability'', which grants her protection against such spells.

* SuckSessor: She and her sisters were Majesty's oldest children, and thus the ones her authority and responsibility fell to after her death. However, due to emotional problems stemming from their mother's death, all the Princess Ponies turned into {{Royal Brat}}s who were too fixated on enjoying the finer things in life to move on from their grief and actually rule. While they ''did'' realize how wrong they were and [[TheAtoner atoned for their mistakes]], they ultimately pass control of Majesty's kingdom over to Megan Williams so they can focus on doing their own duties of protecting the Wands. Even after this, Tiffany openly acknowledges she and her sisters failed their mother as her heirs and [[VillainHasAPoint agrees with Smellba's asessment of her]], but also [[ShutUpHannibal points out that's why she's dedicated to making up for it.]]

* TearsOfJoy: She broke down crying when Golden Scepter adopted her into the Terran Royal Family as his granddaughter, since she spent four Ages without a family to call her own after her mother and sisters/fellow Princess Ponies died.

* WhatTheHellHero: After Lavan managed to assimilate the Wands into himself, she and Megan sought out the Moochick for help. The Moochick advises the heroines to use the Heart of Ponyland to stop Lavan, but also subtly calls her out by noting the Grand Primevals would be forced to destroy all of Ponykind just to destroy Lavan if the people assigned to guard the Wands neglected their duties instead. This makes her guilt over her negligence and failures increase even more.
