History Characters / EnterTheArenaAsYourAvatarVillainousFactions

* VillainDecay: Aside from the fact that her very first war machine was fashioned after a roly-poly, she was played as a very serious and dark threat in her first appearances, bordering on a CompleteMonster, traumatizing Rin and lording over Neo Pseudo Porky as his mysterious benefactor. The fact that [[SamusIsAGirl her gender was not known at the time]] added to the aura of mystery and dread surrounding her. The moment she started suffering serious defeats and setbacks, though, her PsychopathicManchild tendencies flared up, and while [[DownplayedTrope she is still not a threat to be underestimated]] thanks to the deadly weapons, endless resources and powerful allies at her disposal, most characters now see her as the [[NerdInEvilsHelmet pathetic, jealous loser]] she really is.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In her first appearance, the relationship between herself and Polyphemus had not been fully defined yet, so when Polyphemus threatened to replace her, she remained silent, making it seem like Polyphemus was completely dominant over Blade. All further scenes between the two following Klondike, Venom and Rin's collective thrashing of Polyphemus paint a '''very''' different picture. The two interact on much more equal grounds, and while Polyphemus is [[PointyHairedBoss ostensibly in charge]], Blade's ability to pretty much twist her employer around her finger and crack jokes at her expense with zero retribution leaves absolutely no doubt as to [[DragonInChief who is really wearing the pants]] ([[BadassInANiceSuit in every sense of the term]]) in their relationship.

* TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: Noelle is free from the SOUL's manipulations now, and regrets what she did to her world's Berdly, but continues using her ice magic for the sake of a master with malevolent goals because she's just too used to that now. She ends up casting [=SnowGrave=], or something like it, on Psyco's Berdly when he tries to "save" her.

* CloningBlues: Was taken by Xehanort's group; what came of this was Metallix-X and other Metallix-based Heartless running around as Metallix was returned to Gravitas in a severely damaged state.

* MeaningfulName: His name pattern is similar to that of ''Franchise/MegaMan'', whom he closely resembles (in fact, his name was [[WhatCouldHaveBeen originally planned]] to be "[[PunnyName Omega Man]]", which still appears in the file name of the avatar that represents him). It also alludes to the concept of the "alpha male", representing his arrogant, toxic personality and his CasanovaWannabe tendencies.

* TheDragon: She mentions having known Polyphemus for some time and her position seems to be about as close to the engineer as they get. Still, when she expresses doubt in Polyphemus's decision-making, the mad mechanist says that she can be replaced as easily as anyone, and their relationship overall seems strained.

* BadassInCharge: Deconstructed. She is the fastest flyer and the best fighter of the Factory, and its leader. This is very much in line with the [[TheSpartanWay strength-obsessed pegasus society]] as portrayed by the fic, but it backfires heavily for the Factory as Dash's psychotic and reckless actions end up tearing it apart more than the Creeps ever could.

** Like Hit, he's a no-nonsense hired fighter who does exactly as he's told, but isn't above having his own personal agenda. However, Hit is an extremely powerful otherworldly martial artist who fights with his bare hands and time manipulation, while Roland has a CharlesAtlasSuperpower at most and uses a diverse array of weapons.

* UncannyValley: From a distance or while squinting, she just looks like a human girl... but everything about her is just wired ''wrong''.

* OneManArmy: Arad shows the ability to tear apart hordes of enemies to such an extent that he does better outnumbered than in one on one battles.
* TheAtoner: In his youth, Arad had committed all manner of violence against those he perceived to be threats against the Origin System, but in his haste to cleanse the planets revolving around his sun, he ended up hurt and alone, everyone he cared for having either died or left him. Now, he seeks to atone for the people he hurt then. Unfortunately, fate rarely lets people have their way.
* AntiVillain: While serving as a right hand man to the CEO and the big bad leader of Grandnova Corporations, he is hardly a bad person and helps those who need it.
