History Characters / CodexEquusAutorists

** In another incident, a group of Griffon Autorists tried attacking an Abyssinian settlement. Blue Suede Heartstrings confronted them and tried to make them leave the Abyssinians alone, but the Griffon Autorists refused to listen and kept spouting their racist beliefs, causing Blue to gradually lose his patience. It's when they decide to [[MakeAnExampleOfThem make Blue their first victim for defying them]] that he snaps and heralds his true Alicorn form by [[MakeMeWannaShout unleashing a powerful sonic scream on the Autorists]].

** A group of Griffon Autorists tried attacking an Abyssinian settlement, only to be confronted by Blue Suede Heartstrings, who tried convincing them to leave the Abyssinians alone and depart in peace. The Griffon Autorists not only refused to listen, but they kept spouting their racist beliefs and even tried [[MakeAnExampleOfThem making Blue their first kill for defying them]]. Naturally, Blue gradually lost patience until he ''[[RageBreakingPoint snapped]]'' and heralded the reveal of his true Alicorn form with a [[MakeMeWannaShout powerful sonic scream]], presumably leading to a righteous beatdown for the Griffon Autorists.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: His backstory, mentioned in his speech, is a demonstration of some of the negative consequences that would inevitably come from Equestria being attacked by non-Pony villains and menaces so often: a profound sense of disillusionment with the country's leaders and ideals, with a deep sense of xenophobia from constant threats, sense of superiority from having survived through all that, and belligerent militancy from a siege mentality as a bonus.

* AcceptablePoliticalTargets: A justified InUniverse example. Being the Fourth-Age Codexverse equivalent of Nazis, the Autorists have garnered so much hate for themselves with their horrible actions, that many heroic-minded people saw fit to ridicule and laugh at them every time they get their [[LaserGuidedKarma comeuppance]].
** Prince/King Vultus IV in particular, while wanting his people to treat both their Griffon and non-Griffon peers with respect, is willing to make an exception with the Autorists because they were responsible for sponsoring his greedy and resentful fourth brother's attempted coup, and being indirectly responsible for the assassination of his eldest brother, who was crown heir at the time.
---> '''Prince Vultus IV:''' As our noble gods had said: 'Respect thy peers as thyself.' Unless he’s an Autorist - in which case, '''''GET THE BASTARD!'''''.
** After learning that the three major Equestrian Tribalist factions [[EvilVersusEvil got in a fight with Griffon Autorists]], only for all of them to [[EvilWillFail engineer their own downfalls in the process]], Fluttercruel found it so hilariously pathetic that she laughed in response.
---> '''Fluttercruel:''' ...This would be hilarious if it weren't so pathetic... oh who am I kidding, it's even more hilarious that way! HAHAHA!
** However, it's subverted with Emperor Golden Scepter. While he's known for being a bitter enemy of the Autorists, [[MyGreatestFailure as he once acted like them in the Imperium era]], Golden Scepter doesn't think it's funny to ridicule them no matter how well-deserved it is - as the living embodiment of Ponykind's best and worst traits, he believes that for every person who willingly gives in to hatred, bigotry, and cruelty, there's always a few people who were simply led astray and thus can be saved and redeemed, such as Gilded Stove. He would even lecture his second-born son, Prince Fanged Paw, on the matter after the latter ridiculed the Autorists.
---> '''Golden Scepter:''' ''(to Prince Fanged Paw)'' I can understand why you see such groups as 'acceptable targets'. They have garnered so much hate and ridicule for themselves as of late that it is easy for us - so incredibly easy - to point our hooves, horns, and wings at them and laugh. However, know this, my son: For every person that willingly let themselves give in to hatred, cruelty, and bigotry... there is always a few more that have been simply led astray. And it is our responsibility- no, EVERYONE'S responsibility to be aware of the situation at hoof, and make sure that these sorts of people are saved from the clutches of Evil itself.

* {{Motifs}}: [[AnAxeToGrind Axes]], from the looks of things.

* TooDumbToLive: Several Griffon Autorist nations and factions had the wonderful idea to pick on an [[{{Characters/CodexEquusMalregnarEmpire}} ascendant evil empire]] who has a history of responding to those who disturb their peace by ''[[ApocalypseHow annihilating the entire nations responsible]]''. [[AwakeningTheSleepingGiant It ends]] [[ForegoneConclusion as well]] [[CurbstompBattle as it]] [[KillEmAll could be]] [[FateWorseThanDeath expected for]] [[StupidEvil them]].

* {{Motifs}}: [[WeaponOfChoice Axes]], from the looks of things.
* WeaponOfChoice: Axes, presumably. It's in their name.

* BalefulPolymorph: A group of Iron Wolves captured by the Terran Empire were subjected to this - after seeing that they held no remorse for attacking the Terran Empire out of racial hatred despite all attempts to show them the true scope of their actions, Prince Night Shade decided to punish the captured Iron Wolves by [[KarmicTransformation magically transforming the them into rabid, non-sapient wolves to reflect their vicious mindset]]. Many, including [[TheBeastmaster Prince Fanged Paw]], approved of the punishment, with the scions/children of Dikaiosýni, the Judgement Primeval, noting that this doesn't violate the Primeval Laws as Night Shade's removal of the Iron Wolves' sapience was done as a proportional punishment for their crimes.
--> '''Prince Fanged Paw:''' They tried to act like animals, so they'll be treated like one.

* AssholeVictim: A [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/839486185/4839613125 Doe of the Golden Antlers faction]] wasted her whole life persecuting those who she considered 'lesser' than Deerkind and made them bow and grovel before her and Deerkind's 'racial superiority'. Upon death, [[GodOfEvil Pokhot]], [[NobleDemon the Damsel of Desire]] would capture her soul and condemn her to an eternity of torment fitting for her crime: being subjected to BalefulPolymorph into all the 'lesser' races she had persecuted in life and made to grovel and serve her betters as she had done to others. The Doe [[VillainousBreakdown can't imagine]] [[FateWorseThanDeath suffering anything worse]] than this, [[AndIMustScream which would last forever]].
--> '''Autorist Doe:''' ''NO!'' [[FateWorseThanDeath I don't want to be seen]] in this [[BalefulPolymorph ugly form]]! ''Change me back!''
* BalefulPolymorph: The IronicHell for a Doe of this faction after her death: Being turned into members of the 'lesser' races she so despised and persecuted throughout her life, and made to beg and grovel to her betters as she had made others do so before her and Deerkind's 'superiority'. [[GodOfEvil Pokhot]] got this idea from several of her family's friends and allies, such as Golden Scepter and Pakak, who are also into ironic punishments that fits the crime as well as inflicting BalefulPolymorph to that end.

* CoolPlane: One of the mainstay propellar aerofighters of the Griffon Autorist nations is the Skycondor, which in the [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/869178368/4961039977 Drabble]]/[[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Tales-of-Equestria-Stories-6-872587291 Tales]] they were depicted are shown to be very dangerous and effective when skillfully piloted. While not as durable as their counterparts, they made up for it with incredible speed and maneuverability via their light enchanted alloy frames, while packing enough firepower to wear down even the heaviest armour mounted on aeroflyers. To note, during the Talon Bais War, when the Terran Empire and Autorist nations both sent expeditionary, volunteer and mercenary forces from their military to participate in the conflict supporting either sides and turning it into a ProxyWar, an engagement saw one almost giving a Terran Empire Thunderbird - a ''twin vortex engine'' multirole aerofighter - a run for its money, outflying it and even nearly shoot it down were it not for its heavy armour and daring maneuvers on the Terran pilot's part.

* AbsoluteXenophobe: The Autorists believe that their race is superior to all other races, though which race depends on where they came from. So far, there were Pony, Griffon, and Deer Autorists that have been confirmed in various entries. It's for this reason that Emperor Golden Scepter hates them, since he once acted like them in the Imperium era, though he believes that they can be redeemed and made to see the error of their ways, just as he had been.

* EveryoneHasStandards: As she disgusted even her own Autorist allies, Gossamar's tyrannical and genocidal atrocities naturally revolted those who are of a more heroic and benevolent disposition. [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/875815844/4949541384 Especially]] those who are outraged by her habit of [[EatsBabies eating Pony foals]]. [[spoiler:Crossing one line too many for everyone else was what finally got her smited by the Grand Primevals when she broke one of the Primeval Laws]].
--> '''[[GentleGiant Elske]] [[LoveGoddess Titanna:]]''' [[[MamaBear UNINTELLIGIBLE ROAR]] [[UnstoppableRage OF FURY]]]
--> '''[[BloodKnight Astrid]] [[WarGod Titanna]]:''' Uh, Sis? Not that I don't agree, but... please calm down. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness I'm gonna piss myself if you don't]], and I just cleaned this armor.

* HatedByAll: She was such a monstrous tyrant that by the end of her reign, her only remaining loyal followers were those as psychopathic as herself and undead thralls, with the others only siding with her out of sheer terror. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even other villains]], including fellow Autorists, hated her for just how much of a monster she was.
* IAmAHumanitarian: Had we mentioned she [[EatsBabies eats Pony foals]] already?
* {{Necromancer}}: She is a powerful necromancer capable of summoning zombies and undead to serve her.
* {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler:At the pleads of the mare who she harmed breaking the Primeval Laws, rather than being sent to a Hellrealm, Gossamer was reincarnated into a pegasus named Monarch Wing in hopes she'd be a better person the second time around.]]
