* OnlySaneMan: Amusingly, he could be considered a rare accidental deconstruction of this trope. Though he is supposed to be seen as an obnoxious jerkass, the fact is, every criticism he says about Starfleet is very accurate. However, the fact that no one, not even other Equestrians, takes him seriously and treats him like an annoyance or just a joke, always taking the side of Starfleet and outright saying, to his face, that Lightning Dawn would be in the right for arresting him or kicking his ass, while also being socially isolated for his attitude and views on Starfleet, even by his co-workers...... suddenly, him having a hallucination of Lightning Dawn mocking him, along with several other Space Ponies, makes a startling amount of sense.

Because of this, all of his characters can be best described as such: [[MadLibsCatchphrase "[Character] is/does [their one personality trait]. That's it."]]
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Everyone in Unicornicopia dresses up in ridiculous ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' bodysuits.
* {{Idiot Hero}}es: [[WhatAnIdiot/MyLittleUnicorn There's an entire page dedicated to how many times they hold the]] IdiotBall.
* InformedAbility:
** They're stated to be superior in intelligence to Equestrians but no character figures out that a metallic creature giving off no life readings and shooting EyeBeams attacking a dam is just a robot until its innards are exposed. The author gives the excuse that they've somehow never encountered robots before yet have heard of them but that only shows how unimaginative Starfleet is; it would be like real people encountering a winged, fire-breathing reptile and not realizing it's a dragon.
** In [[https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/624616/starfleet-to-equestrians-the-superior-and-inferior-thing this blog,]] the author compares Equestria to Colonial America and Unicornicopia to the distant future. However, Space Ponies have little to no futuristic technology such as teleporters, healing rays and artificial planets and not even a lot of modern technology such as mobile phones, submarines, nukes and automobiles.
** In spite of the Space Ponies' supposed superior strength and speed, said to be able to withstand a kick from Applejack and move faster than Rainbow Dash at her best [[ArtisticLicensePhysics while walking]], they actually had trouble incapacitating Diamond Dogs, which Rarity, [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E19ADogAndPonyShow in FiM canon]], was able to bend to her beck and call, and the other Mane 5 were easily able to handle. It's like [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi the Ewoks thwarting the Empire]] by comparison. And the kicker? The Diamond Dogs aren't stated to have gotten stronger, not through training or anything. The only explanation for this (according to WordOfGod) is that "[[VoodooShark they had strong armor]]".
** They're described as a [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy warrior race]], but when a monster shows up, the first thing most of the populace does is hide behind their force fields and let Lightning's band deal with it.
* MagicKnight: [[InformedAbility Supposedly]], they're very good at using physical and magical abilities in combat.
* MasterRace: The Space Ponies and their "god" known as Grand Ruler are seen as this. They have no problem calling others out on how inferior they are to Space Ponies because they live on the ground alone, particularly Equestrian ponies.
--> '''Unnamed Space Pony:''' Space Ponies ARE stronger than you Equestrians, but [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial we don’t treat you like slaves]], and [[ImmediateSelfContradiction we don’t bluntly rub it in your faces]].
* OnlySixFaces: They are practically PaletteSwaps of each other.
* PettingZooPeople: They're depicted as having humanoid bodies with pony heads stuck on top.
* ScaryDogmaticAliens: {{Downplayed}} but still present. They mostly fall into Type I ([[ANaziByAnyOtherName Alien Nazis]]) for their belief that they are superior and Type III ([[TheFundamentalist Alien Fundamentalists]]) for their devotion to the Grand Ruler.
* SuperiorSpecies: They're referred to as being faster, stronger, and more intelligent than their Equestrian counterparts, and when the latter enlist in Starfleet, they're constantly reminded that [[AlwaysSecondBest they'll never be quite as good as the Space Ponies.]] [[InformedAbility Not that they actually display this superiority in any meaningful capacity.]]
* YouAreNumberSix: Everyone's got a serial number on their chest (cutie marks being another thing that the author either didn't like or understand. Or both).
** According to [[https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/692656/rhymey-and-his-creation this]], it was a minor element from an episode of ''Series/TodaysSpecial'' that he implemented into the fic. Expect to see plenty of that below.

The Grand Ruler's student, who, unlike other Space Ponies, is unable to use magic.
%%* AuthorAvatar
* BirthdayHater: Due to his fifth one being the day all other members of his race were killed by Serpentari.
* BornWinner: He was born with a Golden Horn similar to the Grand Ruler and is from an extinct species known as the [[{{Asspull}} Enticorn]].
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: To compensate for his lack of magical ability, the Grand Ruler trains him intensively to be physically stronger and faster than the other characters. [[InformedAbility Somehow, he still finds himself tuckered out by carrying crates and baskets of vegetables.]]
* DeathByOriginStory: His parents.
* DeusExMachina: The Uniforce.
* {{Expy}}: He is basically a male version of Twilight Sparkle, [[FlatCharacter only without her personality]] and what makes her likeable.
* FinishingMove: His only real contribution to most fights is to end it with the Uniforce/Rainbow Rod/Capture Blaster.
* FlatCharacter: He's Celesto's protegé. That's it.
* InformedAbility: He has been stated to be extremely strong yet he never makes a dent on any monsters. Against other ponies, his strength is more or less equal, even getting knocked down by a possessed Cheerilee at one point.
** He also has a hard time lifting things and gets out of shape quite easily in spite of his training with the Grand Ruler. He even [[EpicFail passed out during fitness day, a yearly event]], all the way back in season 1.
* KarmaHoudini: In ''Starfleet Humans'', despite provoking Celestia into attacking him by insulting her and her dead horse then scalding her face, Lightning never suffers any punishment other than an extremely short-lived suspension.
* LastOfHisKind: [[spoiler:Is an Enticorn, explaining his lack of magical ability inherent to Space Ponies.]]
* LeeroyJenkins: Nearly always his first method of attack.
* TheLoad: Despite his physical strength, most of the villains use magic and his inability to use magic is quite a liability in battle. Anytime he finishes a battle is with his Uniforce.
* {{Plagiarism}}: [[spoiler:His [[SuperMode Enticorn form]] is just a slightly edited [[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Alien X]].]]
* ShrinkRay: Lightning's "'''''CAPTURE BLASTER'''''" that he gets in season 2 works this way. [[MadeOfExplodium And yet it still makes the target explode, for some reason...]]
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:While his Enticorn powers make him nearly as strong as Celesto, he has a difficult time controlling himself]]
* TookALevelInJerkass: In ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Humans'', he acts rude and callous towards Principal Celestia after she rightfully calls him out on running wild in the street, causing her to crash her car. Even her simply stating that he shouldn't have been able to drag her vehicle out of the bushes makes him snark at her. Lightning is like this for the rest of the story towards Celestia, even when what she says or does is reasonable.
* UnSorcerer: Until [[spoiler:he starts wielding the Uniforce. And discovers his Enticorn origins.]]
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: If he gets anything done at all, it's going to be with the Uniforce or (earlier on) the Rainbow Rod.
%%* YourCheatingHeart: His kiss with Human Starla while he's married to her pony counterpart.

[[caption-width-right:250:[[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Listen, strange ponies floating in space with three golden horns is no basis for a system of government.]]]]
* AuthorAvatar: His design is directly lifted from the author's OC cosplay and WordOfGod even states that he's voiced by him.
** When he came up with the concept for the first time, Celesto was even going to be named Mykan.
* BigGood: As the ruler of United Equestria and leader of Starfleet.
* {{Expy}}: He is basically a male version of Princess Celestia, [[FlatCharacter only without her personality]] and what makes her likeable.
* FlatCharacter: He's the ruler of Unicornicopia/United Equestria. That's about it.
* TheGodsMustBeLazy: Despite being a PhysicalGod in his own right and the ruler of Unicornicopia, he rarely ever contributes when a villain shows up. A particularly notable example is chapter 8 of the original story, where he sees Mysterious spreading nightmares throughout Unicornicopia and knows that Lightning and company would be weakened, yet still leaves it to them instead of stepping in.
* InformedAttribute: He's stated to be stronger than Celestia and yet Twilight in the finale did more damage to Tirek than Celesto could, who supposedly is way stronger already, was supported by an army AND had Celestia and Luna's magic.
* InsistentTerminology: He is referred to as a "Three-Horned Alicorn", rather than a tricorn.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: According to Mykan, Celesto's name is pronounced "CHE-les-tow".
* ManChild: He likes to play hopscotch.
* ManipulativeBastard: How he convinced Twilight it's her fault for getting a family hurt.
* MeaningfulName: The author says he chose "Celesto" because it means "heavenly." [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial It is not a genderfipped version]] [[BlatantLies of "Celestia."]]
* MundaneMadeAwesome: For a given measure of "awesome", playing hopscotch to a disco remix of "Pop Goes the Weasel"[[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer (yes, really)]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxHM_DaHSG4 Here's a visual reference (though not the Grand Ruler; this was created before he made the original fic).]]
* ParentalSubstitute: For Lightning. Not that [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot their relationship has any significance on the overall plot]].
* PhysicalGod: Or at the very least, a child of one.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: {{Invoked|Trope}} and {{subverted|Trope}}. While he takes constant care of the ecosystem of Unicornicopia, he [[TheGodsMustBeLazy does not go into battle when Titan shows up the first time, despite being the only one able to stop him]]. The author later tried to excuse this by explaining that the Grand Ruler had faith in his prized student, Lightning. Problem is, Lightning can't use magic and the only reason he did not die is that [[DeusExMachina he conveniently discovered he can summon the Uniforce]].
* StellarName: It means "heavenly".

* DeathByOriginStory: Her parents.
* {{Expy}}: Of Rarity.
* FlatCharacter: She loves Lightning and astronomy. That's it. The latter only comes up a couple of times.
* InformedAbility: She knows about the stars, but she puts her knowledge to good use only once and she never does any scientific research.
* MeaningfulName: She likes astronomy, and has a StellarName.
* [[invoked]] PaletteSwap: She is, according to recent videos, just a Rarity clone, but not [[WordOfGod as shallow as the original]]. He has tried to cover this up by... slightly darkening her coat, which he feels "ruins the design".
* {{Plagiarism}}: She is ''just Rarity''.
** One of her attacks is named "Star Shower" and is a series of shooting stars that look like lightning bolts. It is, word for word, the attack of the same name used by [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 Pegasusmon]].
* SatelliteLoveInterest: We never learn much about her other than her interest in astronomy, which is practically forgotten after her introduction. She doesn't even appear in the author's video of character bios for the fic!
* StellarName: It's an elaborate form of "star".
* TwoGirlsToATeam: With Krysta.

** More specifically, an IdenticalStranger from space that looks and talks like her.
* FamilyThemeNaming: As it turns out, his ''entire family'' has rhyming names. The OddNameOut is, ironically, Rhymey himself.
* FlatCharacter: He rhymes ([[PainfulRhyme very poorly]]). That's it.
* InformedAbility: It's been stated that he makes great poetry and is a master swordsman. The few works we see, however, are too simple and generic to be called "great" and his only sword move is a special attack.
* MeaningfulName: [[CaptainObvious He... rhymes a lot.]]
* NoYou: After Ace Ray complains about Rhymey's rhyming, Rhymey protests that his rhyming is perfectly natural, capping it off with this couplet.
-->"There is nothing wrong with what I do.\\

* PaletteSwap: He's just Fluttershy with a horn, clothing, yellow tail, mane and a different hairstyle. In fact, the Mane Six confuse him for a disguised Fluttershy when he first appears to them.
* RhymesOnADime: He rhymes absolutely everything, from ordinary conversations to attack names even to grunts of pain. [[PainfulRhyme Unfortunately]], they're not ''good'' rhymes.

* InformedAttribute: He's supposedly a great artist, but we haven't been told why his artwork is so great beyond "He made a statue".
* LonelyRichKid: As revealed in ''Starfleet Magic IV'', painting was Artie's way to express frustration over the fact that his rich parents ignored him.

* AdvertisedExtra: He was played up as a core member of the team in the initial series, but he only gets a few major appearances, and out of those, he only gets to fight once. He later gets PutOnABus, only reappearing once in ''Starfleet Magic III''.
* DemotedToExtra: He was a core member of the team in the initial series, was removed for several stories and when reintroduced in ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic III'', was a minor character. The Website/DeviantART remake brings him back, not as a member, but as a recurring background character.

** "Satisfactory, most satisfactory."
** And to a lesser extent, "(other adjective), most (other adjective)".
** He also had "Well, now who's a fool?" if one of his inventions doesn't work as planned (usually [[StuffBlowingUp explosively]]).
* DeusExMachina: More often than not, Brain just happens to have some sort of gadget that just happens to be perfectly suited for dealing with whatever jam the heroes have gotten themselves into. The biggest example is the rocket ship that the crew uses to escape Unicornicopia's EarthShatteringKaboom, which happens to work perfectly despite being completely untested.
* EinsteinHair: His artwork shows him with this hairstyle.
* FlatCharacter: He invents things and [[IAmVeryBritish speaks British]]. That's it.
* FunWithAcronyms: He invents a tracking device called TERRIFIC ('''T'''he '''E'''lemental '''R'''adar '''R'''eceptor '''I'''n '''F'''inding '''I'''nteresting '''C'''haracters).
* TheLoad: Not only is Brain poor at fighting, but [[TheMillstone some of his inventions actually end up being used by the villains]].
* MeaningfulName: So the guy named "Brain" happens to be a genius inventor? [[SarcasmMode Probably just a coincidence.]]
* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: His speech is peppered with StockBritishPhrases and he's shown having a SpotOfTea in his debut.
* TheSmartGuy: As Unicornicopia's resident inventor.

[[caption-width-right:120: If he could make this whole thing just disappear, he would be the best character in the fic.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Series/TodaysSpecial Waldo the Magnificent]].
* FlatCharacter: He's a magician. That's it.
* InformedAttribute: It's hard to pin him as the great magician he's described as, given that everyone in Unicornicopia (barring Lightning Dawn) can use magic and Abra's magic is mainly of the stage variety.
* SpearCounterpart: Is basically a male Trixie Lulamoon, [[FlatCharacter only without her personality and what makes her likable]].
* StageMagician: His schtick is that he does magic shows. As in, the sleight of hand variety.
* StarvingArtist: One chapter in the original story has Abra falling on hard times, due to Titan's minions crashing his shows and Abra not having the heart to ask for money in his street performances.

[[caption-width-right:100: That's just wrong. Also, missing, if found, please do not return.]]
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She seems to have disappeared completely after the first story. Explained in the Website/DeviantART version that she retired after the end of Season 1.
* ConflictBall: Grabs it in Episode 10, where she objects to the preparations for the party welcoming Grand Ruler's annual visit for no particular reason[[note]]especially since it's an annual event, meaning there should be clear expectations[[/note]] despite having participated in preparing something similar for the arrival of Lightning Dawn. It doesn't help that the conflict ultimately doesn't lead anywhere, since Titan and his minions proceed to crash the party and hijack the plot.
* {{Expy}}: Of Dimitria from ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo''. Appearance-wise, she is to Mayor Mare [[{{Plagiarism}} what Starla is to Rarity]].
* FigureItOutYourself: Her shtick. All she can do is talk in questions, which gets redundant when she starts talking like that even in regular conversation. [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo This sounds familiar somehow...]]
* FlatCharacter: She asks questions. That's it.
* {{Plagiarism}}: She's just a slightly edited Mayor Mare.
* ShoutOut: Named after the species/homeworld of a Power Ranger mentor; see {{Expy}} above.
* VerbalTic: She talks ''entirely'' in questions.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She doesn't play any role in the sequels. According to WordOfGod that`s because he had no idea how to use her anymore.

Unicornicopia's doctor.
* {{Expy}}: Of Nurse Redheart.
* FlatCharacter: She's a doctor. That's it.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Downplayed. Normally, she's perfectly benign, but it takes a certain kind of doctor to prescribe MindRape as a cure for mental issues. Also falls into this for an episode of Season 2 due to changeling possession.
* {{Plagiarism}}: She's just a slightly edited Nurse Redheart.
* PunnyName: Her name is a pun on penicillin. Her middle name is a pun on "CC" (cubic centimeter, a frequently-used unit of measurement for medicines).
* SuperDoc: She's apparently a general practitioner that's also a psychologist and a surgeon, and is technically inclined enough to build a machine that can influence/read memories.

* BitCharacter: She's basically a RecurringExtra with a name, only showing up for one or two lines of dialogue in each appearance.

[[caption-width-right:250: [[Series/TodaysSpecial First it's a pony who talks in rhyme, and then a three-horned alicorn, not to mention the statue upstairs with the magic mask running around!]]]]
* {{Expy}}: Of Jeff Hyslop from ''Series/TodaysSpecial'', right down to the KryptoniteFactor and having to use a wish to save his friend instead of making himself become a real pony. The only real difference is that Goldwin is a statue brought to life by a magic mask, rather than a mannequin brought to life by a magic hat.
* FlatCharacter: He wants to become a real pony and experience the outside world. That's it.
* LivingStatue: He's a statue unintentionally brought to life by Abra's magic.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Particularly in his debut season, where any episode with Goldwin centers around him even at the expense of having little to do with the rest of the plot.
* TooDumbToLive: Despite knowing full well that removing his mask causes him to become a lifeless statue, he often ends up doing it anyway. Fortunately, he's surrounded by ponies to revive him if that happens.
* WeaksauceWeakness: He's kept alive by Abra's enchanted mask, so if the mask is removed, he becomes an inert statue. He's also, for less well-defined reasons, unable to leave the grounds of Canterlot Palace.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Cerise]]
* TheAlcatraz: She serves as the warden for one of Starfleet's prison planets.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Falls victim to this at the hands of the changelings. Lightning Dawn and Twilight have to snap her out of it.
* TheBusCameBack: Despite being a high-ranking Starfleet member and being only the 3rd character shown to be able to use the Uniforce, she is only mentioned once in passing after her one appearance in ''II''. After a long absence, Cerise makes another appearance at the beginning of ''VI''.
* DeusExMachina: Zigzagged. While she can use the Uniforce and did use it to save the day in her first appearance, she's generally the one that needs help.
* FlatCharacter: [[OverlyLongGag She's a prison warden. That's it.]]
* IdenticalStranger: Described as being very similar to Cadance.
* SeriesContinuityError: First appears under the name Cerise Wonder, but her second appearance uses Cerise Magenta.
* WardensAreEvil: Downplayed; while she's not a villain, Cerise and her guards are shown being downright abusive to their prisoners.
* TheWorfEffect: Despite being acknowledged as a powerful Starfleet officer in charge of a PenalColony and able to use the Uniforce to boot, both of Cerise's appearances so far have her needing to be bailed out of trouble by the main cast.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Daphne Dil]]
* DeathByOriginStory: Her parents are dead so her cousin Buddy Rose takes care of her.
* FlatCharacter: She's Buddy Rose's cousin. That's it.

* SixthRanger: She eventually joins up with the CMC. [[{{Hypocrite}} Even though she denounced Cutie Marks as "silly" in front of the entire class.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Castor and Leilani]]
* {{Flat Character}}s: They're the children of Celesto and Celestia, that's it.
* {{Meaningful Name}}s: [[CriticalResearchFailure Supposedly]], their names both mean "heavenly" like their parents.
[[/folder]]
!Equestrians
[[folder:Equestrians in General]]
* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: If, and when, an Equestrian decides to speak out against, or disagree with, any of Starfleet's philosophies, this is how they're presented.
* DistressBall: They lose all competence in the fic, meaning that Starfleet usually has to do all the work.
* {{Flanderization}}: Because of the author's inability to understand that characters can (and should) have more than one personality trait, every single character becomes a FlatCharacter defined by only one trait.
* {{Flat Character}}s: As a result of the {{Flanderization}}, they can also be summed up as [[MadLibsCatchphrase "[Character] is/does [their one personality trait]. That's it."]]
* TookALevelInDumbass: They're all made far less competent than in the source material just to make Starfleet look better by comparison.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Celestia]]
* {{Chickification}}: In canon, she's a competent and wise ruler. In here, she clings to the DistressBall with a firm grip and runs with it.
* FlatCharacter: She loves Grand Ruler. That's it.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: To Grand Ruler.
* UngratefulBitch: Celestia, like Starfleet, [[spoiler:[[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming blames Twilight Sparkle for her own death even though she tried to save her]]]].
--> “[[spoiler:It is not your fault, Lightning. Twilight was the one who did wrong. She was told more than enough times not to go after Raven, not knowing how powerful she really was. We all knew how high the risks were.]]”
* WingedUnicorn: As an alicorn, she has wings and a horn.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Twilight Sparkle]]
* TheChewToy: Probably even more so than Cadance; at least the latter [[spoiler:is still alive]]. The author did all this because he hates her for teaching ThePowerOfFriendship, saying she and her friends "[[CriticalResearchFailure try to force it onto everybody]]" [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer (yes, really)]].
* {{Chickification}}: She is a fairly competent leader and mage in canon, but here she's stuck playing second fiddle to Lightning Dawn [[spoiler:until the day she dies]].
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:She dies in Lightning's arms]].
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler:She gets run through by Raven's claws]].
* FlatCharacter: She tried to preach ThePowerOfFriendship [[spoiler:and is dead]]. That's it.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:In "season" three, courtesy of Raven.]]
* LateArrivalSpoiler: [[spoiler:In case the rest of these entries didn't tip you off, season 3 inflicted her with [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment a fatal disease known simply as death]].]]
* LeeroyJenkins: On occasion, including [[spoiler:the one that gets her killed]]. Clearly she's been learning from Lightning.
* SpiritAdvisor: [[spoiler:Twilight becomes one to Lightning after her death.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Well yeah, it's kind of hard not to spoil [[spoiler:a dead pony, especially the leader of the Mane Six]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Applejack]]
* {{Flanderization}}: Her only personality trait in this story is her accent.
* FlatCharacter: She has a southern accent. That's it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rarity]]
* {{Flanderization}}: She's only defined by her love of fashion. She is portrayed as constantly forcing makeovers on those who don't want them, being rather more self-centered and materialistic, and whining quite a bit. As well, while Rarity in the source material could be a DramaQueen at times (and could she ''ever''), here she tends to overreact to everything.
* FlatCharacter: She loves making dresses and is melodramatic. That's it.
* TheMagicTouch: In one part of ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic II'', she essentially gets the Midas Touch. Anyone who's heard of King Midas [[BlessedWithSuck should know where this is going]].
* WingedUnicorn: She gets wings somewhere down the line.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Pinkie Pie]]
* {{Flanderization}}: She is portrayed as being so annoying that even her friends groan at her. She's also shown to be a bit of a crybaby.
* FlatCharacter: She acts like a child. That's it.
* TookALevelInDumbass: In canon, Pinkie Pie is something of a GeniusDitz. Here, she loses the "genius" part of the equation to {{Flanderization}}.
* WomanChild: Due to losing her HiddenDepths.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Fluttershy]]
* BetaCouple: With Rhymey to Lightning Dawn and Starla Shine.
* FlatCharacter: She's shy and loves animals and Rhymey. That's it.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: One of the few canon qualities she still has.
* RupturedAppendix: This is why she has a SickEpisode and is nearly killed by a changeling in the hospital, even though [[CriticalResearchFailure ponies don't have appendixes]].
* ShrinkingViolet: Another canon trait she still has, although it's subject to {{Flanderization}}.
* SickEpisode: When she comes down with appendicitis.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rainbow Dash]]
* {{Flanderization}}: While Rainbow Dash wasn't exactly the most well-read pony, here she's reduced to little more than DumbMuscle.
* FlatCharacter: She always rushes into conflict without thinking things through. That's it.
* LeeroyJenkins: Even worse than Lightning in this regard.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Spike]]
* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:With his long-lost sister. Spike is naturally the Abel.]]
* DragonKnight: His SuperMode, natch.
* FlatCharacter: He's Twilight's [[spoiler:former]] assistant and loves Rarity. That's it.
* InTheBlood: [[spoiler:His father was the previous Dragon Knight.]]
* LegacyCharacter: He takes on the mantle of the Dragon Knight, inheriting the powers of the previous one.
* TheLoad: He thought of himself as this, up until he TookALevelInBadass.
* MagicKnight: As the Dragon Knight.
* TookALevelInBadass: Unlike the other MLP characters who are flanderized to one-note caricatures, Spike at the very least gets to transform into the Dragon Knight. [[spoiler:He later takes a second one, allowing him to transform into the Majestic Dragon.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Luna]]
* DemotedToExtra: After the first ''Starfleet Magic'', Luna seldom appears.

* WingedUnicorn: As an alicorn, she has wings and a horn.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Cadance]]
* BadDreams: As a result of having to [[spoiler:kill her own brother]].
* BreakTheCutie: So, ''so'' much, starting with [[spoiler:Fratello]] and going downhill from there.
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to [[spoiler:Fratello]]'s Cain. Unlike the TropeNamers, she ends up [[MercyKill having to kill him]] rather than the other way around.
* TheChewToy: The amount of abuse heaped on her through the series is staggering, especially because the author has stated that he is doing this because he hates the fact that Cadance is HappilyMarried while [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Beast Boy]] and [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 Davis Motomiya]] are not [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer (yes, really)]]. In fact, it's for this very reason that she hasn't died yet; the author just wants her to suffer for as long as possible [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer (again, yes, really)]].
* DistressBall: Probably more so than the other princesses.
* FlatCharacter: The story regularly abuses her for no real reason. That's it.
* GratuitousNinja: She gets a SuperMode as the Silent Ninja... just because.
* ImperiledInPregnancy: Which eventually results in [[spoiler:her ConvenientMiscarriage]].
* MummiesAtTheDinnerTable: [[spoiler:Keeps the corpse of her stillborn colt around for 9 chapters [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer (yes, really)]]. [[ArtisticLicenseBiology Decomposition is not an issue apparently]].]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Shining Armor]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: He spends much of Season 5 this way, due to being {{Mind Rape}}d by the Insectos.
* DemonicPossession: By the spirit of Insecto General Saber, due to Pinsar putting Saber's mask on him.
* FlatCharacter: He's Cadance's husband, who later gets brainwashed by Insectos. That's basically it.
* MaskOfPower: The Mask of Saber, used to brainwash him and channel the power of General Saber. [[spoiler:After the brainwashing is undone, he gets to keep the mask and powers.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Ace Ray]]
* {{Brainwashed}}: To like Starfleet and feel sorry for attacking his sister in the original version. In the updated version, he's "merely" sent to an insane asylum instead.
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Skye.
* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: He falls into this, as well as StrawmanHasAPoint. He gets kicked off the Wonderbolts for complaining about Starfleet, and is portrayed as a loser who lounges around the house all day - even his own sister disagrees with him and has little sympathy. He ultimately ends up getting arrested after threatening to kill his sister in a fit of rage, and (in the original version) is brainwashed to like Starfleet. However, he comes off as more accurate than the author intended regarding Starfleet's flaws and failures.
* {{Flanderization}}: In his first appearance, he does hate Starfleet, but has other priorities such as his sister. By the time of ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic III'', all he does is rant about his hatred of Starfleet and hates his sister.
* FlatCharacter: He hates Starfleet. That's it.
* IllKillYou: Says this to Skye after she declares him to be as bad as the evil they face, which results in him being officially declared a criminal, beaten and arrested.
* InformedAttribute: Is stated to be insane in the rewritten version. It doesn't take a psychologist to see that that's not the case.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After essentially being brainwashed in the original version, he reacts this way to memories of his past actions.
* PutOnABusToHell: In the rewritten version, he's last seen strapped down in an asylum.
* RageWithinTheMachine: One of the only Equestrian ponies who isn't completely wowed by Starfleet. Quite the opposite, really.
%%* StrawLoser
* ThisLoserIsYou: Is presented as an overweight ex-Wonderbolt who got kicked off for badmouthing Starfleet, and used as a strawman who makes complaints about them that exist to be completely shut down by the heroes. And as you can see above, more people agreed with Ace Ray than disagreed.
* UngratefulBastard: What we're meant to think of him as.
* WouldHitAGirl: Beats up his own sister while threatening to kill her.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Skye]]
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Ace Ray.
* FlatCharacter: She's Ace Ray's sister. That's it.

[[folder:Brass Bolt]]
* TheCracker: He successfully breaks into the main computer system of one of Starfleet's prisons.
* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: Whenever he tries to complain about Starfleet, everyone around him starts shooting him down.
* {{Expy}}: Much like [[spoiler:Dusk Shine]] and a few other antagonists, he's an expy of one of the many detractors that DARED to question WordOfGod. The detractor in this case is brassboy212, a lesser known member of the brony community, an up-and-coming Fan Fic writer and former Mykan supporter. After several chats between the two involving Brassboy calling out Starfleet on their borderline fascist ways, Mykan created this character in response. After reading about this new character, Brassboy stated comically in a skype chat among his friends "I don't know whether to feel honored, offended, or both." Considering the connection between the two, Brass Bolt's name might also qualify as a MeaningfulName.
* FlatCharacter: He's a hacker and hates Starfleet. That's it.
* PutOnABusToHell: He gets arrested by Starfleet and dragged off to an unknown fate.
* RageWithinTheMachine: ''Hates'' Starfleet with a passion. He could almost be the protagonist of a story in a {{Dystopia}} setting.
--> "Some day, the truth is going to come out, and people will see you freaks for what you really are!"
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: For Ace Ray, of all people.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He only meant to release ''some'' of the prisoners to show Starfleet up. Instead, he ended up releasing ''all'' of them, setting many of their enemies loose.

* DeusExMachina: The Uniforce.
* DumbBlonde: Most likely unintentional, but she certainly does come off as one.
* {{Expy}}: Is named after the main character of Ferngully and appearance-wise is pretty much Fluttershy with her mane and coat color swapped, and in human form.
* FairyCompanion: For Lightning. Named after a certain [[WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest other animated fairy]].
* FlatCharacter: She's Lightning's FairyCompanion and later the queen of fairies. That's it.

* TheLoad: She's more of a hindrance to the others than anything.
* MagicKnight: [[InformedAbility Supposedly,]] she can combine magical and physical ability in combat.
* {{Plagiarism}}: In a Youtube video introducing the characters, it was shown her design was a recolor of a Website/DeviantART picture depicting Fluttershy as a human.
* SuperStrength: The narration in her introductory episode states she can lift 3,000 times her own weight. [[ForgotAboutHisPowers She rarely ever]] [[InformedAbility uses this strength]]. In ''Starfleet Humans'', she demonstrates this by dropping a huge boulder onto a hostile dragon's head.
* TooDumbToLive: Decides to follow a strange orb of light with the voice of the bad guy, promising her to tell her where she comes from.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: She and Starla are this to Starfleet.

* FlatCharacter: She loves Celesto Grandruler. That's it.
* FreudianExcuse: Celestia's ill temper is a result of the death of her prized racehorse.
* InformedAttribute: In ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Humans'', Principal Celestia is stated to have become tyrannical following the death of her pet horse, Bud, but she is never seen stepping out of line, imposing harsh rules or unfairly punishing anyone.
* JerkassHasAPoint: In ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Humans'', the only times we see her miffed or angry are when she's justified in doing so, such as when she's told to allow Lightning Dawn to attend her school despite possessing no records of any kind.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: She thinks of herself as the best athlete in the school, but then Lightning Dawn comes along to one-up her.
* FlatCharacter: She's an [[JerkJock overconfident jock]]. That's it.
* JerkJock: Due to {{Flanderization}} taking away her character depth, she's left as one of these.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Spike The Dog]]
* EvilDetectingDog: Not necessarily "evil", but he does become particularly on-edge around [[AuthorAvatar Lightning]] and [[TheLoad Krysta]] (who is a robin in the human world), apparently picking up on them being more than meets the eye.
* FlatCharacter: He's Human Twilight's pet. That's it.

[[caption-width-right:250:[[SarcasmMode Must be a good guy.]]]]
The initial main antagonist.
* AuthorAvatar: Theorized by some to be a personification of the author's hatred of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship is Magic]].
* BackFromTheDead: Suddenly returns in the Season 1 finale [[spoiler:and returns again in The Movie]].
* BigBad: The main villain in the original story.
* CardCarryingVillain: He introduces himself as [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Emperor of Chaos and Nightmares]], but most of the time does nothing besides [[OrcusOnHisThrone gloat on his throne]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: He got his face disfigured in his past and got shunned by everyone for his hideous looks afterwards. Years later, he kills his entire species and starts to destroy parts of the multiverse for no other reason, than that it is fun.
* EvilSorcerer: He's a GenericDoomsdayVillain and can use magic.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Anime/SailorMoon Wiseman]] and [[WesternAnimation/CareBears1980s No-Heart]].
* FlatCharacter: He's evil. That's it.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: He has all power and wants to destroy Unicornicopia just so he can spread chaos and destruction over reality, [[ForTheEvulz just because]]. His dialogue is dripping in [[LargeHam clichés]] and there is nothing unique about his appearance at all. Being StupidEvil and going with the first Saturday morning cartoon plot his minions come up with doesn't help matters.
* IWantThemAlive: He insists on taking Lightning Dawn alive to drain his power.
* InformedAbility: Is called the Emperor of Nightmares and an unstoppable evil... but then gets blown up multiple times in his premiere fanfic alone.
* MultiversalConqueror: [[WordOfGod According to the author]]. See CardCarryingVillain to realize what he really is.
* ObviouslyEvil: Just take a look at his character portrait.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: He doesn't really do much himself, preferring to let his minions handle the dirty work most of the time.
* SealedEvilInACan: At least till he breaks out from his dimensional prison.
* SelfMadeOrphan: He killed his father for more power.
** Not anymore. While it is possible he still killed his family, after the rewrite, he just simply killed his entire planet.
* UnexplainedRecovery:
** [[spoiler:After being blown up halfway through the story.]]
** [[spoiler:Later, it turns out he survived getting THROWN INTO THE SUN and becomes the BigBad of The Movie.]]
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: He insists on keeping Lightning Dawn alive so he can take his powers. However, Lightning is also the only one who can stop him in the first place...
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Mysterious, Dementia, and Rep-Stallion]]
Titan's minions, and the main cause of the attacks on the heroes in the first story.
* AnIcePerson: Some of Dementia's attacks invoke this.
* TheBrute: Rep-Stallion.
* TheDarkChick: Dementia.
* {{Flat Character}}s: Mysterious is evil and has bizarre abilites. Rep-Stallion is evil and stupid. Dementia is evil and obsessed with her appearance. That's it.
* InformedAttribute: The narration would have readers believe they don't have hearts. Their ability to feel jealousy, rage and desire has readers believing otherwise.
* LivingShadow: Mysterious.
* PaletteSwap: Dementia is just a recolored Starla, who in turn is just a [[{{Plagiarism}} slightly edited Rarity]].
* ShockAndAwe: Rep-Stallion's power.
* ShoutOut: Most of their attack names come from the [=PS2=] video game ''Orphen: Scion of Sorcery''.
* SinisterScythe: Rep-Stallion's weapon.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Dementia is the only female member of Titan and his minions.
* SuperSmoke: Smoke of Pain, one of Mysterious's powers.
* TerribleTrio: As [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged Piccolo]] would tell you; pretty one (Dementia), stupid one (Rep-Stallion), one with weird powers (Mysterious).
* VainSorceress: Dementia's obsession with her looks is her defining trait.
* VanityIsFeminine: [[DarkChick Dementia]], the token female member, is completely obsessed with her appearance.
* VillainTeamUp: With Nightmare Moon.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Because he is a LivingShadow, Mysterious gets hurt by standing in any form of light.
* [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman What Measure Is a Non-Pony?]]: They are artificial beings and considered not worth rescuing by the heroes when the reality they fought in starts to collapse around them and they are too weak to escape.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: In one chapter, Rep-Stallion is ready to deliver the killing blow towards Lightning, when Titan calls him back for no reason at all. If he had just given him five more seconds, the hero would have been dead. Titan later explains that this is because he [[IWantThemAlive wants Lightning alive]] so he can take his powers. Not exactly the smartest plan when Lightning is the only one who is able to defeat him and he's conquered worlds without the Uniforce before. Come two episodes later, and Titan is destroyed.

[[folder:Nightmare Moon]]
* FlatCharacter: She's evil. That's it.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Discord]]
* FlatCharacter: He's evil. That's it.
* HijackedByGanon: He gets brainwashed into subservience by Titan.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Celestia blasts him into the crumbling Unicornicopia, and he dies in the ensuing explosion.]]
* StarfishAliens: In the ''Starfleet'' continuity, the Draconequus are aliens.
* VillainDecay: [[spoiler:Reduced to a brainwashed monster henchman of BigBad Titan near the end of the story and loses his reality warping abilities. To add insult to injury, he gets killed by Celestia.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Queen Chrysalis]]
* BigBad: Of ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic II''.
* FlatCharacter: She's evil. That's it.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: It isn't until literally just before the end of ''II'' that she's treated as anything other than being evil for the sake of evil.
* HeelFaceTurn: Supposedly, at the very end of ''II''. Not that anything actually comes of it, since [[PutOnABus she's never heard from again]] starting from the very next paragraph.
* VillainDecay: From a queen with a [[BenevolentBoss relatively benign relationship with her subjects]] [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething working to keep them fed]] to a GenericDoomsdayVillain who [[NonActionBigBad sits back to let her minions do all the work]], [[ItsAllAboutMe keeps the fruits of their labor for herself]], and embraces WeHaveReserves.
* WeHaveReserves: She finds out about the disadvantage of this mentality the hard way. Namely, when [[MookDepletion said reserves run out]].

* BlindIdiotTranslation: His name is a rather [[UnfortunateNames unfortunate]] one. [[spoiler:"Big brother" in Italian would either be the formal term "fratello maggiore" or the informal, affectionate "fratellone". "Grande fratello", the term used in his name, only ever refers to [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour one specific]] {{Big Brother|IsWatching}}.]]
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul

* FlatCharacter: He's evil, [[spoiler:but used to be good.]] That's it.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: [[spoiler:Slips into this on the occasions that Fratello resurfaces.]]
* InformedAttribute: He is repeatedly stated to [[spoiler:not have feelings due to being a robot yet he is clearly seen being angry and even remorseful over the course of the season]].
* MeaningfulName: His full name is Italian (or, more precisely, an Italian BlindIdiotTranslation) for [[spoiler:My Dear Big Brother]].

* OverlyLongName: [[spoiler:Il Mio Caro Grande Fratello]]. Now that's a mouthful.

[[caption-width-right:100: Remember the time Distraught tried to wipe out Starfleet in revenge over them killing Discord? Swell guy, that Distraught.]]
* AffablyEvil: Distraught has no problem holding parties and serving ice cream to the very same ponies that he plans on destroying.
* FlatCharacter: He wants to avenge his father. That's it.
* HeelFaceTurn: Supposedly, at the very end of ''Starfleet Magic: The Movie''. Not that anything actually comes of it, since [[PutOnABus he's never heard from again]].
* PaletteSwap: [[spoiler:[[{{Plagiarism}} He's very clearly a recolored Discord]].]]
* YouKilledMyFather: And in this case, his father is [[spoiler:Discord]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Melantha]]
* BloodKnight: The closest she gets to an actual character trait, given that we don't get a reason why she is one.
* FlatCharacter: She is the most extreme example of a flat character. While other characters at least have a backstory and one character trait, she has no characterization at all, unless you count the above trope.
* GreenThumb: With a helping of PoisonousPerson.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Finished off by being run through with her own weapon.]]
* ProngsOfPoseidon: The Doom Trident.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Frosteye]]
* AnIcePerson: As his name suggests, he mainly uses ice powers to fight.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Last seen getting buried via a cave-in.
* DumbMuscle: Granted, none of the villains here are exactly TheChessmaster or even {{Genius Bruiser}}s, but Frosteye still stands out for being derided as this by his fellows.
* FlatCharacter: He has ice powers and is [[DumbMuscle kind of stupid]]. That's it.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: His colleagues don't exactly think very highly of him.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He comes [[JustForPun chillingly]] close to bringing about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt via freezing it over, and probably would have succeeded if he didn't [[VillainBall feel the need to show up to gloat in front of Starfleet]].
* [[HumanPopsicle Pony Popsicle]]: He had been trapped in a frozen cavern for a century by Princess Celestia due to [[DisproportionateRetribution being a mocker]].
* ShapeshifterWeapon: Can transform his right arm into an ice lance.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Phaedra]]
* AntiVillain: One of the few characters to go beyond 1 trait. Though affiliated with Sombra, she has higher morals than her allies.
* FlatCharacter: She loves Royce and has more morals than her allies. That's it.
* HighHeelFaceTurn: The only one of Sombra's minions to undergo one, but [[HeelFaceDoorSlam it doesn't last long...]]
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Turned to evil because her boyfriend Royce left her.
* LoveRedeems: Royce's love for her ultimately triggers her HeelFaceTurn.
* SwordBeam: The Blade Blaster.
* TakenForGranite: Her fate, [[TogetherInDeath along with Royce.]]
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Happens in ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic III'', Episode 11, where she is called away by Sombra when she is about to kill Royce and Pinkie Pie, though at least there's a reasonable explanation (She already got the Crystal Heart Sombra told her to get).
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Harkin]]
* BloodKnight: Was born with no knowledge of his family or world, so his life became all about fighting and searching for a worthy opponent. His Blood Knight tendencies eventually [[TheStarscream led to him betraying Sombra.]]
* EvilCounterpart: Set up as one for Lightning. Both are powerful beings who lost their family and world at a young age, but while Lightning was taken in by Grand Ruler and taught to use his powers to defend others, Harkin had no such luck and ended up as a nihilistic fighting machine.
* FlatCharacter: He wants to fight strong opponents. That's it.
* FrickinLaserBeams: His signature move, Red Rays. Also counts as a HandBlast.
* AGoodWayToDie: [[spoiler:To him, being bested by an Enticorn - namely, Lightning - counts as this.]]
* MagicKnight: He has shades of this.
* MegatonPunch: Harkin's Fists of Fury attack.
* VillainTeamUp: In Episode 16 of ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic III'', he and Raven team up.

* {{Crusading Widow|er}}: A villainous example, in that her motivation for going after Celestia is to avenge the death of her husband (who was killed in an accident involving her).
* {{Expy}}: She is named and based off the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' character. [[{{Plagiarism}} As you can see in her character image.]]
* FlatCharacter: She wants to avenge the death of her husband. That's it.
* GoodPowersBadPeople: Wields the Uniforce despite being a villain.
* HeroKiller: Ultimately the one to kill [[spoiler:Twilight Sparkle]].
* LoneWolfBoss: She isn't affiliated with Sombra, targeting Celestia of her own accord.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Not of her own accord, though - she's transformed into yet another giant monster by Melantha.]]
* {{Plagiarism}}: She's very clearly just a slightly edited [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Raven]].
* UnknownRival: To Celestia. [[spoiler:[[ItsPersonal That is, until she kills Twilight Sparkle]]]].
* VillainTeamUp: In Episode 16 of ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic III'', she and Harkin team up.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Notably, she actually ''does'' try to just shoot Celestia with a crossbow. It doesn't work, but it still stands out among villains plagued with ComplexityAddiction.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:King Sombra[=/=][[spoiler:Dusk Shine]]]]
* BadBoss: Yells at and threatens his minions quite a bit.
* BigBad: Of ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet III''.
* TheBully: In the Starfleet continuity, Sombra was first seen as a bully named [[spoiler:Dusk Shine]].
* CheatersNeverProsper: [[spoiler:As Dusk Shine, he drugs Celesto's water during a tournament to determine who will guard Celestia. He gets caught, striped of his rank, and banished.]]
* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler:Dusk Shine]] is named after the male version of Twilight Sparkle. Considering how much Mykan hates Twilight, it wouldn't be a surprise if this is why he would use that name.
* FlatCharacter: He's evil. That's it.
** [[spoiler:Dusk Shine was a bully. That's it.]]
* FromNobodyToNightmare: [[spoiler:Started as a common bully, but later became a legitimate threat to United Equestria.]]
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Granted, it's not that far from canon in this case.
* VillainDecay: Sombra's canon incarnation was an inexorable force of darkness that could only be held at bay by the Crystal Heart. Here, he [[OrcusOnHisThrone prefers to sit back and let his minions do the dirty work even after the Crystal Heart is shattered]], and when he does take action, he's nowhere near the borderline EldritchAbomination he's portrayed as in canon.

[[caption-width-right:250:Chernabog's career really went downhill after [[Disney/{{Fantasia}} Bald Mountain]].]]
* ConquerorFromTheFuture: He has conquered most of United Equestria in the future.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: Starfleet is directly responsible for the Dark King's existence, as he is a manifestation of "dark energy" from the prisoners that Starfleet tried to rehabilitate.
* FlatCharacter: He's evil. That's it.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Like Titan before him, he wants to do evil things ForTheEvulz.
* MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: The Dark King has conquered most of United Equestria in the future, but faces resistance that prevents him from finishing the job. Thus, he goes back in time to try and prevent Starfleet from winning in the past.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: A darkness-themed villain [[FlatCharacter with hardly any personality]] that lives on a dark planet and has an eccentric group of minions whom he tasks with summoning monsters to stop Starfleet. This description applies to both Titan and the Dark King.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Dark King's Minions]]
Composed of [[{{OurGiantsAreDifferent}} Tnaig]], [[{{OurDemonsAreDifferent}} Nomed]], [[{{OurOgresAreHungrier}} Ergo]], [[{{GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe}} Neila]], and [[{{EvilCounterpart}} Esroh Dab]]
* AnAesop: According to Esroh Dab's [[http://dakari-king-mykan.deviantart.com/art/MBPSFM-Esroh-Dab-581378475 profile]] (spoilers inside), he was created to 'help people realize that there are some things you just can't help or change, no matter how you try, and although Friendship(sic) can help in many things, it can't really save you from everything or change things that much'. And it's shown by [[spoiler:him willingly committing a sort of SuicideByCop courtesy of Tnaig, claiming he can't change who he is despite the ponies offering him their support... [[BrokenAesop except nobody actually does anything to stop Esroh from basically committing suicide and they just stand around and watch him die.]]]]
* {{Flat Character}}s: They're evil. That's it.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:Esroh Dab gets killed before he can turn good.]]
* InformedAttribute: Yet again, it is stated that one of the villains (in this case, Esroh Dab) is incapable of feeling emotions yet he demonstrates he is quite capable of doing so.

[[folder:The Cardinals]]
Twelve Monsters based on the EasternZodiac.

* {{Acrofatic}}: Boar Bottoms, especially after Ergo uses "Speed Up" magic on him
* AntiMagic: Dark Scales can dispel magic, though it's only used to prevent Starfleet from activating Mega Mode.
* AsteroidsMonster: Baa-Baa Black
* BlowYouAway: Buster Beak
* [[{{BoxingKangaroo}} Boxing... Rabbit?]]: For some reason, Bouncer fights with boxing gloves.
* BreathWeapon: Flame-Stripes, Chompanzee, and Boar Bottoms all can use these, though in the case of Boar Bottoms, he has to absorb energy beforehand.
* CallingYourAttacks: Zigzagged. 4 of the Cardinals call their attacks, while the rest are completely silent.
* CardsOfPower: The name Cardinal refers to the fact that they are summoned from magical cards.
* CastingAShadow: Dragoon and Dark Scales
* DishingOutDirt: Big Bull and Underdog.
* {{Flat Character}}s: They're evil. That's it.
* GemstoneAssault: Big Bull's Gem Missile.
* {{Kevlard}}: Boar Bottoms.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: Like Titan's monsters and the Changelings before them, they are sent one at a time to fight the heroes.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted. In the first chapter of ''Starfleet Magic IV'', a minotaur named Big Bull appears in Lightning's nightmare. He isn't the same Big Bull as the Cardinal.
* PlayingWithFire: As the name implies, Flame-Stripes.
* ShockAndAwe: Buster Beak and Dragoon
* ShockwaveStomp: Aside from boxing, this is Bouncer's other special ability.
* SuperSpeed: Rat Racer
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Tirek]]
* FlatCharacter: He's evil. That's it.
* HeelFaceTurn: Not that anything comes from it, considering he's almost immediately PutOnABus.

* FlatCharacter: He's evil [[spoiler:because he got dumped]]. That's it.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:Dr. Kudos became evil because a pony named Peach Berry rejected him for another pony with magical powers.]]
* PhantomZone: After [[spoiler:Tirek turns good, Kudos uses his remaining magic to go to "someplace where things go to disappear", and presumably, will never be seen again.]]
* PowerParasite: The Phantom's ability allows him to steal the Cutie Marks of other ponies, though unlike most Power Parasites, he does not gain the power he stole.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Before he became the Phantom, [[spoiler:Dr. Kudos was Shining Armor's marriage counselor.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Princess Avyanna]]
* FlatCharacter: She's a pirate pretending to help Starfleet. That's it.
* TheMole: Though seemingly working with Starfleet, it is made very obvious that she will betray them.
* PirateGirl: A SpacePirate Girl no less.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Insecto Armada]]
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: They're described as warmongers who exist only to conquer planets and destroy other species to show off their power.
* {{Flat Character}}s: They're evil. That's it.
* HollywoodAcid: While their actual powers are quite diverse, a disproportionately large number of them use acid attacks.
* InsectoidAliens: As their name suggests, they're humanoid alien bugs.
* MauveShirt: The Insecto commanders. They each get a name, a couple of defining traits, one fight scene, and are then killed off.
* {{Mooks}}: Stingars, which are basically drones that serve only to get mown down in waves by the heroes.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Most Insectos have numerous limbs, like real-life insects.
* WeHaveReserves: They don't get too bothered by losses; after all, they can easily send more. In the initial assault on United Equestria, their ships are shown firing at Stingars in order to get at the heroes.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:King Pinsar]]
* BadBoss: All of the main villains fall under this category, but Pinsar takes the cake. He's perfectly fine with sending swarms of his mooks to their deaths and [[YouHaveFailedMe remotely executes any of his commanders that get captured by Starfleet]].
* BigBad: Of ''Starfleet Magic V''.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:He is defeated by Celesto a little over halfway into the story and succumbs to his injuries, and the BigBad role is taken over by Ladybird and Phoebe afterwards.]]
* DragonAscendant: He started out as a minion of Titan, but after Titan's defeat, he becomes a new major threat to United Equestria.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He cares to some degree about his wife and daughter, and he serves Titan partly to keep them safe.
* FlatCharacter: He's evil and has a grudge against Celesto, but still cares about his family. That's it. Granted, this makes him ''marginally'' less flat than most.
* GalacticConqueror: As the leader of the Insecto Armada, Pinsar has conquered numerous worlds and turns his attention to United Equestria.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Basically, he's evil because his race gets off on destroying planets ForTheEvulz.
* ItsPersonal: Celesto hates Pinsar more than most enemies because he killed one of Celesto's original Space Ponies who happened to be a close friend. Likewise, Pinsar seeks revenge on Celesto for destroying his fleet and stranding him on a deserted planet.
* PapaWolf: He's worried sick when Phoebe runs away. [[spoiler:Stag tricks him into a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Starfleet by telling him that they captured her.]]
* UnholyMatrimony: He and his wife genuinely love each other, and both share a taste for conquest and destruction.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Queen Ladybird]]
* AvengingTheVillain: [[spoiler:She swears to avenge her husband's death after Pinsar is killed by Celesto.]]
* FlatCharacter: She's King Pinsar's wife and Princess Pheobe's mother. That's it.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Every bit as ruthless as her husband.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:A villainous example. She dies ensuring Phoebe's safe getaway from the exploding Insecto mothership.]]
* UnholyMatrimony: Her marriage with Pinsar is about as happy as a pair of {{Galactic Conqueror}}s can get.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Princess Phoebe]]
* AvengingTheVillain: [[spoiler:She continues the fight against Starfleet to avenge her father's death at Celesto's hand. Her mother is included as well when she dies at the hands of Grand Celestial Ruler.]]
* CruelMercy: [[spoiler:Starfleet imprisons Phoebe instead of killing her to make her suffer the same pain she inflicted on them (whatever that was) as long as she is imprisoned.]]
* DaddysLittleVillain: Although much to her frustration, daddy never gives her a chance to prove it [[spoiler:until he dies]].
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:After Pinsar succumbs to his injuries, he bestows his power upon her and her mother, and Phoebe takes over as leader of the Armada.]]
* {{Flanderization}}: Initially, Phoebe has a couple of distinguishing traits, such as her desire to prove herself and a fixation on beauty. She eventually loses all of these and becomes another generic villain [[spoiler:after Pinsar dies]].
* FlatCharacter: She's the arrogant daughter of King Pinsar and Queen Ladybird. That's it. However, she actually goes through a small CharacterDevelopment arc... which is promptly dropped after its conclusion.
* RebelliousPrincess: She's developed a rebellious streak due to her father's overprotectiveness and neglect, and eventually runs away from home.
* SpoiledBrat: Courtesy of Pinsar; however, he's otherwise a neglectful parent, which doesn't sit well with her. She eventually grows out of it, though.
* WellDoneDaughterGirl: Despite being forbidden from fighting Starfleet by her father, Phoebe takes the fight to them a couple of times anyway to try and prove her worth to him.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:General Stag and General Slick]]
* CoDragons: To Pinsar.
* {{Flat Character}}s: They're evil and Stag wants to be the leader of the Insecto Armada instead of Pinsar. That's it.

* TheStarscream: Stag plots to dethrone Pinsar and take over the armada for himself. Slick doesn't want any part of it, but Stag forces him to keep quiet.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Two minions of the BigBad that are always seen with each other.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Black Dragon Knight]]
* BlackKnight: A black DragonKnight, no less.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: She reasons that dragons pillage and terrorize by nature, which makes the original Dragon Knight and Spike both disgraces to dragonkind as they avoided such a lifestyle in favor of the KnightInShiningArmor attitude.
* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:She's Spike's sister Scaley, and seeks him out to defeat him.]]
* DarkIsEvil: That's how you can tell she's an evil version of Spike.
* EvilCounterpart: To Spike.
* FlatCharacter: She's evil, thinks Spike is a disgrace to dragonkind, and wants to take him down a notch. That's about it.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Her true identity is Scaley, daughter of the Dragon Knight and sister to Spike.]]
* MirrorMatch: She copied the Dragon Knight's powers, allowing her to match Spike blow for blow. [[spoiler:She even duplicates his Majestic Dragon SuperMode.]]
* SamusIsAGirl: Black Dragon Knight is actually female, although it's not much of a twist as it's revealed in her first appearance.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Black Dragon Knight is a villain not affiliated with the BigBad, who specifically seeks to fight one of the heroes for personal reasons, with their final battle taking place in a volcano [[spoiler:and being ended by the hero's SuperMode]]. Note that this description also applies to Harkin.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: She can transform into other ponies, as demonstrated in her debut on Lightning Dawn. However, Spike is able to sniff her out.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Windy Bag]]
* ArchEnemy: Of Mykan Stevens's pony counterpart. The grudge between them drives much of her subplot.
* ArcVillain: The closest thing season 6 has to a BigBad.
* FlatCharacter: She wants to return Equestria to the way it was and hates Pony Mykan. That's it.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: She makes several attempts on the life of Pony!Mykan Stevens to try and take his property. Stevens happens to be an asocial {{Jerkass}} to begin with.
* NonActionBigBad: Unlike most villains, Windy Bag is a normal Equestrian pony, so she avoids clashing with Starfleet for the most part.
* TakeThatCritics: She's the ArchEnemy of an AuthorAvatar and is specifically opposed to Starfleet, so there's your clue as to who Windy Bag is supposed to represent.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Her goal is to bring back the old Equestria, by freeing the Equestrian ponies from their brainwashing and driving Starfleet out... and builds a WaveMotionGun to do so.
* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: She strives to free Equestria from Starfleet; they label her a criminal.

!Starfleet Humans Villains
[[folder:Flash Sentry]]
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: [[spoiler:Human in the source material, a Crystallite in this.]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: The ''Equestria Girls'' films gave no indication of Flash Sentry being anything other than an ordinary human. [[spoiler:In ''Starfleet Humans'', he's the son of Empress Sapphira and serves as her [[TheDragon Dragon]].]]
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:In ''Starfleet Humans'', he serves as this to Sapphira, his mother.]]
* FlatCharacter: [[spoiler:He's evil.]] That's it.
* HumanAliens: [[spoiler:He's a Crystallite.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: At the end of ''Starfleet Humans'', he gets reformed by [[AmnesiacsAreInnocent erasing all memories of his past life]], suppressing his powers in the process. [[spoiler:They resurface in ''Starpops'' when he hears about the death of Twilight Sparkle.]]
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:The climax of ''Starpops'' has him regaining his memories and Crystallite powers and choosing to fight alongside the heroes of his own accord. However, he gets fatally poisoned by Scales during the fight.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Sapphira]]
* TheAssimilator: Her goal is to use a KillSat to turn all of Earth's population into her Crystallite servants.
* BigBad: Of ''Starfleet Humans''.
* EvilTeacher: In the human world, she masquerades as the principal of Crystal High.
* FlatCharacter: She's evil. That's it.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: The Crystallites have "[[AlwaysChaoticEvil vain, greedy conqueror]]" as their [[PlanetOfHats hat]], and that's about as much motivation as Sapphira gets.
* OneWingedAngel: [[FusionDance Combines with her satellite]] during the final battle.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Dazzlings]]
* AdaptationalWimp: By far the worst case out of all the characters from ''[=FiM=]'' canon. Basically all of their notable moments were given to the Demonites instead; the Dazzlings spend most of ''Starpops'' severely weakened, playing second fiddle to them, and only being a minor nuisance at best. They're also defeated much more easily.
* {{Flanderization}}: Their individual personalities get erased, leaving them as generic villains.
* {{Flat Character}}s: They're evil. That's it.
* UnwittingPawn: The Demonites use them to gather energy for themselves, then throw them under a bus at the climax.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Demonites[=/=]D-Man Knights]]
* BigBad: They serve as the main antagonists of ''Starpops'', with Blaze as their leader.
* BlobMonster: Slick is some kind of slime monster with a defined form.
* BlowYouAway: Tempest.
* BondVillainStupidity: Continuously tell Starfleet that they can resurrect each other should one of them fall in battle as long as at least one of them is still alive. [[IdiotBall If that wasn't enough, it takes awhile for the heroes to realize this despite the Demonites telling them this continuously.]]
* CameBackStrong: If one Demonite is killed, the others can revive him, and make him even stronger. As such, they have to all be destroyed at the same time.
* DishingOutDirt: Boomer.
* TheDividual: They have [[FlatCharacter such little personality]] and are always together that they may as well just been one character.
* FiveBadBand: Subverted. While there are five of them, [[FlatCharacter they don't get nearly enough characterization to qualify for the trope]], and are more of a [[TheDividual collective Big Bad]].
* {{Flat Character}}s: They're evil. That's it.
* ForTheEvulz: Their only motivation is to spread destruction for its own sake.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: They're not given much in the way of motivation or characterization beyond "group of [[InsistentTerminology demons]] that want to destroy stuff".
* LouisCypher: Hmm, wonder what their band name could mean...
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: They're supposedly demons, [[InformedAttribute but demonstrate almost none of the typical traits]].
* PoisonousPerson: Scales.
* PlayingWithFire: Blaze.

* {{Sssssnaketalk}}: Scales talks this way.
* TotallyRadical: '''''"D-Man Knights".'''''

!Space Ponies
[[folder:Space Ponies in General]]
* AlwaysLawfulGood: The Space Ponies are always good and right; everyone else is either evil or wrong.
* {{Flat Character}}s: Mykan believes that personalities don't belong in a race of [[InformedAttribute warriors]]; in fact, he believes they don't belong, ''at all''. and thinks that characters should have as little characterization as possible so at to not hold back what he considers to be the "cool" parts (his fights and explosions)[[note]][[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer (yes, really)]][[/note]]. Because of this, all of his characters can be best described as such: [[MadLibsCatchphrase "[Character] is/does [their one personality trait]. That's it."]]
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Everyone in Unicornicopia dresses up in ridiculous ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' bodysuits.
* {{Idiot Hero}}es: [[WhatAnIdiot/MyLittleUnicorn There's an entire page dedicated to how many times they hold the]] IdiotBall.
* InformedAbility:
** They're stated to be superior in intelligence to Equestrians but no character figures out that a metallic creature giving off no life readings and shooting EyeBeams attacking a dam is just a robot until its innards are exposed. The author gives the excuse that they've somehow never encountered robots before yet have heard of them but that only shows how unimaginative Starfleet is; it would be like real people encountering a winged, fire-breathing reptile and not realizing it's a dragon.
** In [[https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/624616/starfleet-to-equestrians-the-superior-and-inferior-thing this blog,]] the author compares Equestria to Colonial America and Unicornicopia to the distant future. However, Space Ponies have little to no futuristic technology such as teleporters, healing rays and artificial planets and not even a lot of modern technology such as mobile phones, submarines, nukes and automobiles.
** In spite of the Space Ponies' supposed superior strength and speed, said to be able to withstand a kick from Applejack and move faster than Rainbow Dash at her best [[ArtisticLicensePhysics while walking]], they actually had trouble incapacitating Diamond Dogs, which Rarity, [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E19ADogAndPonyShow in FiM canon]], was able to bend to her beck and call, and the other Mane 5 were easily able to handle. It's like [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi the Ewoks thwarting the Empire]] by comparison. And the kicker? The Diamond Dogs aren't stated to have gotten stronger, not through training or anything. The only explanation for this (according to WordOfGod) is that "[[VoodooShark they had strong armor]]".
** They're described as a [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy warrior race]], but when a monster shows up, the first thing most of the populace does is hide behind their force fields and let Lightning's band deal with it.
* MagicKnight: [[InformedAbility Supposedly]], they're very good at using physical and magical abilities in combat.
* MasterRace: The Space Ponies and their "god" known as Grand Ruler are seen as this. They have no problem calling others out on how inferior they are to Space Ponies because they live on the ground alone, particularly Equestrian ponies.
--> '''Unnamed Space Pony:''' Space Ponies ARE stronger than you Equestrians, but [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial we don’t treat you like slaves]], and [[ImmediateSelfContradiction we don’t bluntly rub it in your faces]].
* OnlySixFaces: They are practically PaletteSwaps of each other.
* PettingZooPeople: They're depicted as having humanoid bodies with pony heads stuck on top.
* ScaryDogmaticAliens: {{Downplayed}} but still present. They mostly fall into Type I ([[ANaziByAnyOtherName Alien Nazis]]) for their belief that they are superior and Type III ([[TheFundamentalist Alien Fundamentalists]]) for their devotion to the Grand Ruler.
* SuperiorSpecies: They're referred to as being faster, stronger, and more intelligent than their Equestrian counterparts, and when the latter enlist in Starfleet, they're constantly reminded that [[AlwaysSecondBest they'll never be quite as good as the Space Ponies.]] [[InformedAbility Not that they actually display this superiority in any meaningful capacity.]]
* YouAreNumberSix: Everyone's got a serial number on their chest (cutie marks being another thing that the author either didn't like or understand. Or both).
** According to [[https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/692656/rhymey-and-his-creation this]], it was a minor element from an episode of ''Series/TodaysSpecial'' that he implemented into the fic. Expect to see plenty of that below.

The Grand Ruler's student, who, unlike other Space Ponies, is unable to use magic.
%%* AuthorAvatar
* BirthdayHater: Due to his fifth one being the day all other members of his race were killed by Serpentari.
* BornWinner: He was born with a Golden Horn similar to the Grand Ruler and is from an extinct species known as the [[{{Asspull}} Enticorn]].
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: To compensate for his lack of magical ability, the Grand Ruler trains him intensively to be physically stronger and faster than the other characters. [[InformedAbility Somehow, he still finds himself tuckered out by carrying crates and baskets of vegetables.]]
* DeathByOriginStory: His parents.
* DeusExMachina: The Uniforce.
* {{Expy}}: He is basically a male version of Twilight Sparkle, [[FlatCharacter only without her personality]] and what makes her likeable.
* FinishingMove: His only real contribution to most fights is to end it with the Uniforce/Rainbow Rod/Capture Blaster.
* FlatCharacter: He's Celesto's protegé. That's it.
* InformedAbility: He has been stated to be extremely strong yet he never makes a dent on any monsters. Against other ponies, his strength is more or less equal, even getting knocked down by a possessed Cheerilee at one point.
** He also has a hard time lifting things and gets out of shape quite easily in spite of his training with the Grand Ruler. He even [[EpicFail passed out during fitness day, a yearly event]], all the way back in season 1.
* KarmaHoudini: In ''Starfleet Humans'', despite provoking Celestia into attacking him by insulting her and her dead horse then scalding her face, Lightning never suffers any punishment other than an extremely short-lived suspension.
* LastOfHisKind: [[spoiler:Is an Enticorn, explaining his lack of magical ability inherent to Space Ponies.]]
* LeeroyJenkins: Nearly always his first method of attack.
* TheLoad: Despite his physical strength, most of the villains use magic and his inability to use magic is quite a liability in battle. Anytime he finishes a battle is with his Uniforce.
* {{Plagiarism}}: [[spoiler:His [[SuperMode Enticorn form]] is just a slightly edited [[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Alien X]].]]
* ShrinkRay: Lightning's "'''''CAPTURE BLASTER'''''" that he gets in season 2 works this way. [[MadeOfExplodium And yet it still makes the target explode, for some reason...]]
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:While his Enticorn powers make him nearly as strong as Celesto, he has a difficult time controlling himself]]
* TookALevelInJerkass: In ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Humans'', he acts rude and callous towards Principal Celestia after she rightfully calls him out on running wild in the street, causing her to crash her car. Even her simply stating that he shouldn't have been able to drag her vehicle out of the bushes makes him snark at her. Lightning is like this for the rest of the story towards Celestia, even when what she says or does is reasonable.
* UnSorcerer: Until [[spoiler:he starts wielding the Uniforce. And discovers his Enticorn origins.]]
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: If he gets anything done at all, it's going to be with the Uniforce or (earlier on) the Rainbow Rod.
%%* YourCheatingHeart: His kiss with Human Starla while he's married to her pony counterpart.

[[folder:Grand Ruler Celesto]]
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/triceratops.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:[[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Listen, strange ponies floating in space with three golden horns is no basis for a system of government.]]]]
* AuthorAvatar: His design is directly lifted from the author's OC cosplay and WordOfGod even states that he's voiced by him.
** When he came up with the concept for the first time, Celesto was even going to be named Mykan.
* BigGood: As the ruler of United Equestria and leader of Starfleet.
* {{Expy}}: He is basically a male version of Princess Celestia, [[FlatCharacter only without her personality]] and what makes her likeable.
* FlatCharacter: He's the ruler of Unicornicopia/United Equestria. That's about it.
* TheGodsMustBeLazy: Despite being a PhysicalGod in his own right and the ruler of Unicornicopia, he rarely ever contributes when a villain shows up. A particularly notable example is chapter 8 of the original story, where he sees Mysterious spreading nightmares throughout Unicornicopia and knows that Lightning and company would be weakened, yet still leaves it to them instead of stepping in.
* InformedAttribute: He's stated to be stronger than Celestia and yet Twilight in the finale did more damage to Tirek than Celesto could, who supposedly is way stronger already, was supported by an army AND had Celestia and Luna's magic.
* InsistentTerminology: He is referred to as a "Three-Horned Alicorn", rather than a tricorn.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: According to Mykan, Celesto's name is pronounced "CHE-les-tow".
* ManChild: He likes to play hopscotch.
* ManipulativeBastard: How he convinced Twilight it's her fault for getting a family hurt.
* MeaningfulName: The author says he chose "Celesto" because it means "heavenly." [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial It is not a genderfipped version]] [[BlatantLies of "Celestia."]]
* MundaneMadeAwesome: For a given measure of "awesome", playing hopscotch to a disco remix of "Pop Goes the Weasel"[[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer (yes, really)]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxHM_DaHSG4 Here's a visual reference (though not the Grand Ruler; this was created before he made the original fic).]]
* ParentalSubstitute: For Lightning. Not that [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot their relationship has any significance on the overall plot]].
* PhysicalGod: Or at the very least, a child of one.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: {{Invoked|Trope}} and {{subverted|Trope}}. While he takes constant care of the ecosystem of Unicornicopia, he [[TheGodsMustBeLazy does not go into battle when Titan shows up the first time, despite being the only one able to stop him]]. The author later tried to excuse this by explaining that the Grand Ruler had faith in his prized student, Lightning. Problem is, Lightning can't use magic and the only reason he did not die is that [[DeusExMachina he conveniently discovered he can summon the Uniforce]].
* StellarName: It means "heavenly".

* DeathByOriginStory: Her parents.
* {{Expy}}: Of Rarity.
* FlatCharacter: She loves Lightning and astronomy. That's it. The latter only comes up a couple of times.
* InformedAbility: She knows about the stars, but she puts her knowledge to good use only once and she never does any scientific research.
* MeaningfulName: She likes astronomy, and has a StellarName.
* [[invoked]] PaletteSwap: She is, according to recent videos, just a Rarity clone, but not [[WordOfGod as shallow as the original]]. He has tried to cover this up by... slightly darkening her coat, which he feels "ruins the design".
* {{Plagiarism}}: She is ''just Rarity''.
** One of her attacks is named "Star Shower" and is a series of shooting stars that look like lightning bolts. It is, word for word, the attack of the same name used by [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 Pegasusmon]].
* SatelliteLoveInterest: We never learn much about her other than her interest in astronomy, which is practically forgotten after her introduction. She doesn't even appear in the author's video of character bios for the fic!
* StellarName: It's an elaborate form of "star".
* TwoGirlsToATeam: With Krysta.

* BetaCouple: With Fluttershy to Lightning Dawn and Starla Shine.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Series/TodaysSpecial Muffy Mouse]]. Yes. Really.
** More specifically, an IdenticalStranger from space that looks and talks like her.
* FamilyThemeNaming: As it turns out, his ''entire family'' has rhyming names. The OddNameOut is, ironically, Rhymey himself.
* FlatCharacter: He rhymes ([[PainfulRhyme very poorly]]). That's it.
* InformedAbility: It's been stated that he makes great poetry and is a master swordsman. The few works we see, however, are too simple and generic to be called "great" and his only sword move is a special attack.
* MeaningfulName: [[CaptainObvious He... rhymes a lot.]]
* NoYou: After Ace Ray complains about Rhymey's rhyming, Rhymey protests that his rhyming is perfectly natural, capping it off with this couplet.
-->"There is nothing wrong with what I do.\\
But I would say something is wrong with you."
* PaletteSwap: He's just Fluttershy with a horn, clothing, yellow tail, mane and a different hairstyle. In fact, the Mane Six confuse him for a disguised Fluttershy when he first appears to them.
* RhymesOnADime: He rhymes absolutely everything, from ordinary conversations to attack names even to grunts of pain. [[PainfulRhyme Unfortunately]], they're not ''good'' rhymes.

* ArtAttacker: Most of his attacks involve paint, and in the original, his primary weapon was [[ImprobableWeaponUser a giant paintbrush]].
* FlatCharacter: He's an artist. That's it.
* InformedAttribute: He's supposedly a great artist, but we haven't been told why his artwork is so great beyond "He made a statue".
* LonelyRichKid: As revealed in ''Starfleet Magic IV'', painting was Artie's way to express frustration over the fact that his rich parents ignored him.
* MeaningfulName: Unlike the rest of the cast, this trope is averted in Artie's case. ''Starfleet Magic IV'' reveals that his real name is Arthur.

* AdvertisedExtra: He was played up as a core member of the team in the initial series, but he only gets a few major appearances, and out of those, he only gets to fight once. He later gets PutOnABus, only reappearing once in ''Starfleet Magic III''.
* DemotedToExtra: He was a core member of the team in the initial series, was removed for several stories and when reintroduced in ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic III'', was a minor character. The Website/DeviantART remake brings him back, not as a member, but as a recurring background character.
* FlatCharacter: He's a chef. That's it.
* MeaningfulName: He deals with food.
* PutOnABus: He only makes one appearance in the third "season".

** And to a lesser extent, "(other adjective), most (other adjective)".
** He also had "Well, now who's a fool?" if one of his inventions doesn't work as planned (usually [[StuffBlowingUp explosively]]).
* DeusExMachina: More often than not, Brain just happens to have some sort of gadget that just happens to be perfectly suited for dealing with whatever jam the heroes have gotten themselves into. The biggest example is the rocket ship that the crew uses to escape Unicornicopia's EarthShatteringKaboom, which happens to work perfectly despite being completely untested.

* InformedAttribute: It's hard to pin him as the great magician he's described as, given that everyone in Unicornicopia (barring Lightning Dawn) can use magic and Abra's magic is mainly of the stage variety.
* SpearCounterpart: Is basically a male Trixie Lulamoon, [[FlatCharacter only without her personality and what makes her likable]].
* StageMagician: His schtick is that he does magic shows. As in, the sleight of hand variety.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She seems to have disappeared completely after the first story. Explained in the Website/DeviantART version that she retired after the end of Season 1.
* ConflictBall: Grabs it in Episode 10, where she objects to the preparations for the party welcoming Grand Ruler's annual visit for no particular reason[[note]]especially since it's an annual event, meaning there should be clear expectations[[/note]] despite having participated in preparing something similar for the arrival of Lightning Dawn.

* {{Expy}}: Of Dimitria from ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo''. Appearance-wise, she is to Mayor Mare [[{{Plagiarism}} what Starla is to Rarity]].

* TooDumbToLive: Despite knowing full well that removing his mask causes him to become a lifeless statue, he often ends up doing it anyway. Fortunately, he's surrounded by ponies to revive him if that happens.
* WeaksauceWeakness: He's kept alive by Abra's enchanted mask, so if the mask is removed, he becomes an inert statue. He's also, for less well-defined reasons, unable to leave the grounds of Canterlot Palace.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Cerise]]
* TheAlcatraz: She serves as the warden for one of Starfleet's prison planets.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Falls victim to this at the hands of the changelings. Lightning Dawn and Twilight have to snap her out of it.
* TheBusCameBack: Despite being a high-ranking Starfleet member and being only the 3rd character shown to be able to use the Uniforce, she is only mentioned once in passing after her one appearance in ''II''. After a long absence, Cerise makes another appearance at the beginning of ''VI''.
* DeusExMachina: Zigzagged. While she can use the Uniforce and did use it to save the day in her first appearance, she's generally the one that needs help.
* FlatCharacter: [[OverlyLongGag She's a prison warden. That's it.]]
* IdenticalStranger: Described as being very similar to Cadance.
* SeriesContinuityError: First appears under the name Cerise Wonder, but her second appearance uses Cerise Magenta.
* WardensAreEvil: Downplayed; while she's not a villain, Cerise and her guards are shown being downright abusive to their prisoners.
* TheWorfEffect: Despite being acknowledged as a powerful Starfleet officer in charge of a PenalColony and able to use the Uniforce to boot, both of Cerise's appearances so far have her needing to be bailed out of trouble by the main cast.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Daphne Dil]]
* DeathByOriginStory: Her parents are dead so her cousin Buddy Rose takes care of her.
* FlatCharacter: She's Buddy Rose's cousin. That's it.
* OnlySaneMan: [[InformedAbility Occasionally presented as this for the Cutie Mark Crusaders.]]
* SixthRanger: She eventually joins up with the CMC. [[{{Hypocrite}} Even though she denounced Cutie Marks as "silly" in front of the entire class.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Castor and Leilani]]
* {{Flat Character}}s: They're the children of Celesto and Celestia, that's it.
* {{Meaningful Name}}s: [[CriticalResearchFailure Supposedly]], their names both mean "heavenly" like their parents.
[[/folder]]
!Equestrians
[[folder:Equestrians in General]]
* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: If, and when, an Equestrian decides to speak out against, or disagree with, any of Starfleet's philosophies, this is how they're presented.
* DistressBall: They lose all competence in the fic, meaning that Starfleet usually has to do all the work.
* {{Flanderization}}: Because of the author's inability to understand that characters can (and should) have more than one personality trait, every single character becomes a FlatCharacter defined by only one trait.
* {{Flat Character}}s: As a result of the {{Flanderization}}, they can also be summed up as [[MadLibsCatchphrase "[Character] is/does [their one personality trait]. That's it."]]
* TookALevelInDumbass: They're all made far less competent than in the source material just to make Starfleet look better by comparison.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Celestia]]
* {{Chickification}}: In canon, she's a competent and wise ruler. In here, she clings to the DistressBall with a firm grip and runs with it.
* FlatCharacter: She loves Grand Ruler. That's it.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: To Grand Ruler.
* UngratefulBitch: Celestia, like Starfleet, [[spoiler:[[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming blames Twilight Sparkle for her own death even though she tried to save her]]]].
--> “[[spoiler:It is not your fault, Lightning. Twilight was the one who did wrong. She was told more than enough times not to go after Raven, not knowing how powerful she really was. We all knew how high the risks were.]]”
* WingedUnicorn: As an alicorn, she has wings and a horn.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Twilight Sparkle]]
* TheChewToy: Probably even more so than Cadance; at least the latter [[spoiler:is still alive]]. The author did all this because he hates her for teaching ThePowerOfFriendship, saying she and her friends "[[CriticalResearchFailure try to force it onto everybody]]" [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer (yes, really)]].
* {{Chickification}}: She is a fairly competent leader and mage in canon, but here she's stuck playing second fiddle to Lightning Dawn [[spoiler:until the day she dies]].
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:She dies in Lightning's arms]].
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler:She gets run through by Raven's claws]].
* FlatCharacter: She tried to preach ThePowerOfFriendship [[spoiler:and is dead]]. That's it.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:In "season" three, courtesy of Raven.]]
* LateArrivalSpoiler: [[spoiler:In case the rest of these entries didn't tip you off, season 3 inflicted her with [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment a fatal disease known simply as death]].]]
* LeeroyJenkins: On occasion, including [[spoiler:the one that gets her killed]]. Clearly she's been learning from Lightning.
* SpiritAdvisor: [[spoiler:Twilight becomes one to Lightning after her death.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Well yeah, it's kind of hard not to spoil [[spoiler:a dead pony, especially the leader of the Mane Six]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Applejack]]
* {{Flanderization}}: Her only personality trait in this story is her accent.
* FlatCharacter: She has a southern accent. That's it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rarity]]
* {{Flanderization}}: She's only defined by her love of fashion. She is portrayed as constantly forcing makeovers on those who don't want them, being rather more self-centered and materialistic, and whining quite a bit. As well, while Rarity in the source material could be a DramaQueen at times (and could she ''ever''), here she tends to overreact to everything.
* FlatCharacter: She loves making dresses and is melodramatic. That's it.
* TheMagicTouch: In one part of ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic II'', she essentially gets the Midas Touch. Anyone who's heard of King Midas [[BlessedWithSuck should know where this is going]].
* WingedUnicorn: She gets wings somewhere down the line.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Pinkie Pie]]
* {{Flanderization}}: She is portrayed as being so annoying that even her friends groan at her. She's also shown to be a bit of a crybaby.
* FlatCharacter: She acts like a child. That's it.
* TookALevelInDumbass: In canon, Pinkie Pie is something of a GeniusDitz. Here, she loses the "genius" part of the equation to {{Flanderization}}.
* WomanChild: Due to losing her HiddenDepths.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Fluttershy]]
* BetaCouple: With Rhymey to Lightning Dawn and Starla Shine.
* FlatCharacter: She's shy and loves animals and Rhymey. That's it.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: One of the few canon qualities she still has.
* RupturedAppendix: This is why she has a SickEpisode and is nearly killed by a changeling in the hospital, even though [[CriticalResearchFailure ponies don't have appendixes]].
* ShrinkingViolet: Another canon trait she still has, although it's subject to {{Flanderization}}.
* SickEpisode: When she comes down with appendicitis.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rainbow Dash]]
* {{Flanderization}}: While Rainbow Dash wasn't exactly the most well-read pony, here she's reduced to little more than DumbMuscle.
* FlatCharacter: She always rushes into conflict without thinking things through. That's it.
* LeeroyJenkins: Even worse than Lightning in this regard.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Spike]]
* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:With his long-lost sister. Spike is naturally the Abel.]]
* DragonKnight: His SuperMode, natch.
* FlatCharacter: He's Twilight's [[spoiler:former]] assistant and loves Rarity. That's it.
* InTheBlood: [[spoiler:His father was the previous Dragon Knight.]]
* LegacyCharacter: He takes on the mantle of the Dragon Knight, inheriting the powers of the previous one.
* TheLoad: He thought of himself as this, up until he TookALevelInBadass.
* MagicKnight: As the Dragon Knight.
* TookALevelInBadass: Unlike the other MLP characters who are flanderized to one-note caricatures, Spike at the very least gets to transform into the Dragon Knight. [[spoiler:He later takes a second one, allowing him to transform into the Majestic Dragon.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Luna]]
* DemotedToExtra: After the first ''Starfleet Magic'', Luna seldom appears.
* FlatCharacter: She's Celestia's sister. That's it.
* WingedUnicorn: As an alicorn, she has wings and a horn.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Cadance]]
* BadDreams: As a result of having to [[spoiler:kill her own brother]].
* BreakTheCutie: So, ''so'' much, starting with [[spoiler:Fratello]] and going downhill from there.
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to [[spoiler:Fratello]]'s Cain. Unlike the TropeNamers, she ends up [[MercyKill having to kill him]] rather than the other way around.
* TheChewToy: The amount of abuse heaped on her through the series is staggering, especially because the author has stated that he is doing this because he hates the fact that Cadance is HappilyMarried while [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Beast Boy]] and [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 Davis Motomiya]] are not [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer (yes, really)]]. In fact, it's for this very reason that she hasn't died yet; the author just wants her to suffer for as long as possible [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer (again, yes, really)]].
* DistressBall: Probably more so than the other princesses.
* FlatCharacter: The story regularly abuses her for no real reason. That's it.
* GratuitousNinja: She gets a SuperMode as the Silent Ninja... just because.
* ImperiledInPregnancy: Which eventually results in [[spoiler:her ConvenientMiscarriage]].
* MummiesAtTheDinnerTable: [[spoiler:Keeps the corpse of her stillborn colt around for 9 chapters [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer (yes, really)]]. [[ArtisticLicenseBiology Decomposition is not an issue apparently]].]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Shining Armor]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: He spends much of Season 5 this way, due to being {{Mind Rape}}d by the Insectos.
* DemonicPossession: By the spirit of Insecto General Saber, due to Pinsar putting Saber's mask on him.
* FlatCharacter: He's Cadance's husband, who later gets brainwashed by Insectos. That's basically it.
* MaskOfPower: The Mask of Saber, used to brainwash him and channel the power of General Saber. [[spoiler:After the brainwashing is undone, he gets to keep the mask and powers.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Ace Ray]]
* {{Brainwashed}}: To like Starfleet and feel sorry for attacking his sister in the original version. In the updated version, he's "merely" sent to an insane asylum instead.
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Skye.
* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: He falls into this, as well as StrawmanHasAPoint. He gets kicked off the Wonderbolts for complaining about Starfleet, and is portrayed as a loser who lounges around the house all day - even his own sister disagrees with him and has little sympathy. He ultimately ends up getting arrested after threatening to kill his sister in a fit of rage, and (in the original version) is brainwashed to like Starfleet. However, he comes off as more accurate than the author intended regarding Starfleet's flaws and failures.
* {{Flanderization}}: In his first appearance, he does hate Starfleet, but has other priorities such as his sister. By the time of ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic III'', all he does is rant about his hatred of Starfleet and hates his sister.
* FlatCharacter: He hates Starfleet. That's it.
* IllKillYou: Says this to Skye after she declares him to be as bad as the evil they face, which results in him being officially declared a criminal, beaten and arrested.
* InformedAttribute: Is stated to be insane in the rewritten version. It doesn't take a psychologist to see that that's not the case.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After essentially being brainwashed in the original version, he reacts this way to memories of his past actions.
* PutOnABusToHell: In the rewritten version, he's last seen strapped down in an asylum.
* RageWithinTheMachine: One of the only Equestrian ponies who isn't completely wowed by Starfleet. Quite the opposite, really.
%%* StrawLoser
* ThisLoserIsYou: Is presented as an overweight ex-Wonderbolt who got kicked off for badmouthing Starfleet, and used as a strawman who makes complaints about them that exist to be completely shut down by the heroes. And as you can see above, more people agreed with Ace Ray than disagreed.
* UngratefulBastard: What we're meant to think of him as.
* WouldHitAGirl: Beats up his own sister while threatening to kill her.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Skye]]
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Ace Ray.
* FlatCharacter: She's Ace Ray's sister. That's it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Brass Bolt]]
* TheCracker: He successfully breaks into the main computer system of one of Starfleet's prisons.
* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: Whenever he tries to complain about Starfleet, everyone around him starts shooting him down.
* {{Expy}}: Much like [[spoiler:Dusk Shine]] and a few other antagonists, he's an expy of one of the many detractors that DARED to question WordOfGod. The detractor in this case is brassboy212, a lesser known member of the brony community, an up-and-coming Fan Fic writer and former Mykan supporter. After several chats between the two involving Brassboy calling out Starfleet on their borderline fascist ways, Mykan created this character in response. After reading about this new character, Brassboy stated comically in a skype chat among his friends "I don't know whether to feel honored, offended, or both." Considering the connection between the two, Brass Bolt's name might also qualify as a MeaningfulName.
* FlatCharacter: He's a hacker and hates Starfleet. That's it.
* PutOnABusToHell: He gets arrested by Starfleet and dragged off to an unknown fate.
* RageWithinTheMachine: ''Hates'' Starfleet with a passion. He could almost be the protagonist of a story in a {{Dystopia}} setting.
--> "Some day, the truth is going to come out, and people will see you freaks for what you really are!"
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: For Ace Ray, of all people.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He only meant to release ''some'' of the prisoners to show Starfleet up. Instead, he ended up releasing ''all'' of them, setting many of their enemies loose.

* ButtMonkey: An entire chapter is dedicated to her getting constantly wet in the fight with a water monster.
* CaptainObvious: Upon meeting Rhymey, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a character who speaks entirely in rhyme]], she remarks "Wow, he sure does love rhyming." Not long after, she wanders into a restaurant and remarks upon how hungry everybody is.
* DemotedToExtra: She is acknowledged maybe once or twice in ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic III'' despite being the main character's best friend. However, she does get a few more appearances later on.
* DeusExMachina: The Uniforce.
* DumbBlonde: Most likely unintentional, but she certainly does come off as one.
* {{Expy}}: Is named after the main character of Ferngully and appearance-wise is pretty much Fluttershy with her mane and coat color swapped, and in human form.
* FairyCompanion: For Lightning. Named after a certain [[WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest other animated fairy]].
* FlatCharacter: She's Lightning's FairyCompanion and later the queen of fairies. That's it.
* IdentityAmnesia: Krysta isn't even her full name, just the partial fragment she remembers. [[spoiler:She's Queen Krystalline of the world of Luminous]].
* TheLoad: She's more of a hindrance to the others than anything.
* MagicKnight: [[InformedAbility Supposedly,]] she can combine magical and physical ability in combat.
* {{Plagiarism}}: In a Youtube video introducing the characters, it was shown her design was a recolor of a Website/DeviantART picture depicting Fluttershy as a human.
* SuperStrength: The narration in her introductory episode states she can lift 3,000 times her own weight. [[ForgotAboutHisPowers She rarely ever]] [[InformedAbility uses this strength]]. In ''Starfleet Humans'', she demonstrates this by dropping a huge boulder onto a hostile dragon's head.
* TooDumbToLive: Decides to follow a strange orb of light with the voice of the bad guy, promising her to tell her where she comes from.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: She and Starla are this to Starfleet.
* WhatTheHellHero: When Twilight expresses qualms about killing Starfleet's enemies. [[SarcasmMode Because being uncertain that you should kill all of your enemies is definitely a trait that should be called out on.]]
-->'''Krysta''': "Twilight, I like you, but… sometimes I think you really need to wake up and stop kidding yourself."

* RememberTheNewGuy: He is Krysta's adopted son, who suddenly appears with no foreshadowing in ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic II'', Episode 1. When asked about why he suddenly appears, Mykan answered "New characters get thrown in all the time (everyone knows that)".

[[folder:Human Mykan Stevens]]
The protagonist of Human in United Equestria.
* AuthorAvatar: Is named for the author. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial However, Dakari-King Mykan insists that despite sharing a name and a "voice",]] [[BlatantLies Stevens' personality is completely different from his.]]
* FishOutOfWater: A normal human stuck in United Equestria.
* FlatCharacter: He's smart. That's it.
* SixthRanger: Eventually joins up with Starfleet.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Similarly to ''Sonichu'', Mykan has been stealing the spotlight out from under Lightning Dawn, but not (yet) to DemotedToExtra levels. Additionally, his Equestrian counterpart is being played up as a major recurring character in ''VI''.
* TeenGenius: Is an astronaut working under NASA... at 18 years old.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Pony Mykan Stevens]]
* ArchEnemy: Of Windy Bag, with their conflict driving the largest story arc in ''Starfleet Magic VI''.
* AuthorAvatar: As with his human counterpart, he's named for the author. Funnily enough, he even shares some of his more infamous tendencies.
* FlatCharacter: He is completely [[UngratefulBastard ungrateful]] and [[{{Jerkass}} abrasive]] to people who want to help him. That's it.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's... not very personable, [[{{Understatement}} to say the least]].
* LeaveMeAlone: He takes great measures to cut himself off from the rest of the world and refuses to tell anyone about his troubles, even resorting to eating out of garbage cans.
* UngratefulBastard: ''So much''. Even though Starfleet attempts to help him, he never responds favorably and tries his level best to get them off his back.

* ParentalSubstitute: He's this to a number of the Starfleet ponies' human counterparts.
* {{Retirony}}: ''Starpops'' has him being pulled out of retirement to help with repairs aboard the International Space Station. [[spoiler:He ends up drifting into space and almost suffocating, but is saved by [[DeusExMachina a newly-empowered Celestia along with Spike's Majestic Dragon]].]]
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: He allows Lightning Dawn to enter Canterlot High despite possessing no personal records by... well, owning the place. He does this again when he bails Celestia out of prison, and again when lifting Lightning's suspension.
[[/folder]]

* BadassBookworm: She mainly studies astronomy, but she's also proficient in martial arts.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Human Artie]]
* DemotedToSatelliteLoveInterest: A [[GenderInvertedTrope rare male example]], his role from ''Starpops'' onwards is primarily defined by his attraction to Sunset Shimmer.

[[folder:Human Celestia]]
* AdaptationalJerkass: To the point where she bears almost ''no resemblance'' to her canon self; never has it been hinted that the canon Celestia was '''ever''' this disagreeable.
* FlatCharacter: She loves Celesto Grandruler. That's it.
* FreudianExcuse: Celestia's ill temper is a result of the death of her prized racehorse.
* InformedAttribute: In ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Humans'', Principal Celestia is stated to have become tyrannical following the death of her pet horse, Bud, but she is never seen stepping out of line, imposing harsh rules or unfairly punishing anyone.
* JerkassHasAPoint: In ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Humans'', the only times we see her miffed or angry are when she's justified in doing so, such as when she's told to allow Lightning Dawn to attend her school despite possessing no records of any kind.
* NeverASelfMadeWoman: She was given the job of teacher from Celesto.
* RageBreakingPoint: When Lightning insults her dead horse, she snaps and physically attacks him.

[[caption-width-right:250:[[SarcasmMode Must be a good guy.]]]]
The initial main antagonist.
* AuthorAvatar: Theorized by some to be a personification of the author's hatred of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship is Magic]].
* BackFromTheDead: Suddenly returns in the Season 1 finale [[spoiler:and returns again in The Movie]].
* BigBad: The main villain in the original story.
* CardCarryingVillain: He introduces himself as [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Emperor of Chaos and Nightmares]], but most of the time does nothing besides [[OrcusOnHisThrone gloat on his throne]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: He got his face disfigured in his past and got shunned by everyone for his hideous looks afterwards. Years later, he kills his entire species and starts to destroy parts of the multiverse for no other reason, than that it is fun.
* EvilSorcerer: He's a GenericDoomsdayVillain and can use magic.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Anime/SailorMoon Wiseman]] and [[WesternAnimation/CareBears1980s No-Heart]].
* FlatCharacter: He's evil. That's it.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: He has all power and wants to destroy Unicornicopia just so he can spread chaos and destruction over reality, [[ForTheEvulz just because]]. His dialogue is dripping in [[LargeHam clichés]] and there is nothing unique about his appearance at all. Being StupidEvil and going with the first Saturday morning cartoon plot his minions come up with doesn't help matters.
* IWantThemAlive: He insists on taking Lightning Dawn alive to drain his power.
* InformedAbility: Is called the Emperor of Nightmares and an unstoppable evil... but then gets blown up multiple times in his premiere fanfic alone.
* MultiversalConqueror: [[WordOfGod According to the author]]. See CardCarryingVillain to realize what he really is.
* ObviouslyEvil: Just take a look at his character portrait.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: He doesn't really do much himself, preferring to let his minions handle the dirty work most of the time.
* SealedEvilInACan: At least till he breaks out from his dimensional prison.
* SelfMadeOrphan: He killed his father for more power.
** Not anymore. While it is possible he still killed his family, after the rewrite, he just simply killed his entire planet.
* UnexplainedRecovery:
** [[spoiler:After being blown up halfway through the story.]]
** [[spoiler:Later, it turns out he survived getting THROWN INTO THE SUN and becomes the BigBad of The Movie.]]
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: He insists on keeping Lightning Dawn alive so he can take his powers. However, Lightning is also the only one who can stop him in the first place...
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Mysterious, Dementia, and Rep-Stallion]]
Titan's minions, and the main cause of the attacks on the heroes in the first story.
* AnIcePerson: Some of Dementia's attacks invoke this.
* TheBrute: Rep-Stallion.
* TheDarkChick: Dementia.
* {{Flat Character}}s: Mysterious is evil and has bizarre abilites. Rep-Stallion is evil and stupid. Dementia is evil and obsessed with her appearance. That's it.
* InformedAttribute: The narration would have readers believe they don't have hearts. Their ability to feel jealousy, rage and desire has readers believing otherwise.
* LivingShadow: Mysterious.
* PaletteSwap: Dementia is just a recolored Starla, who in turn is just a [[{{Plagiarism}} slightly edited Rarity]].
* ShockAndAwe: Rep-Stallion's power.
* ShoutOut: Most of their attack names come from the [=PS2=] video game ''Orphen: Scion of Sorcery''.
* SinisterScythe: Rep-Stallion's weapon.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Dementia is the only female member of Titan and his minions.
* SuperSmoke: Smoke of Pain, one of Mysterious's powers.
* TerribleTrio: As [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged Piccolo]] would tell you; pretty one (Dementia), stupid one (Rep-Stallion), one with weird powers (Mysterious).
* VainSorceress: Dementia's obsession with her looks is her defining trait.
* VanityIsFeminine: [[DarkChick Dementia]], the token female member, is completely obsessed with her appearance.
* VillainTeamUp: With Nightmare Moon.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Because he is a LivingShadow, Mysterious gets hurt by standing in any form of light.
* [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman What Measure Is a Non-Pony?]]: They are artificial beings and considered not worth rescuing by the heroes when the reality they fought in starts to collapse around them and they are too weak to escape.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: In one chapter, Rep-Stallion is ready to deliver the killing blow towards Lightning, when Titan calls him back for no reason at all. If he had just given him five more seconds, the hero would have been dead. Titan later explains that this is because he [[IWantThemAlive wants Lightning alive]] so he can take his powers. Not exactly the smartest plan when Lightning is the only one who is able to defeat him and he's conquered worlds without the Uniforce before. Come two episodes later, and Titan is destroyed.

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: It isn't until literally just before the end of ''II'' that she's treated as anything other than being evil for the sake of evil.
* HeelFaceTurn: Supposedly, at the very end of ''II''. Not that anything actually comes of it, since [[PutOnABus she's never heard from again]] starting from the very next paragraph.
* VillainDecay: From a queen with a [[BenevolentBoss relatively benign relationship with her subjects]] [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething working to keep them fed]] to a GenericDoomsdayVillain who [[NonActionBigBad sits back to let her minions do all the work]], [[ItsAllAboutMe keeps the fruits of their labor for herself]], and embraces WeHaveReserves.
* WeHaveReserves: She finds out about the disadvantage of this mentality the hard way. Namely, when [[MookDepletion said reserves run out]].

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Fratello's ghost joins back with his replacement robot body.]]
* BlindIdiotTranslation: His name is a rather [[UnfortunateNames unfortunate]] one. [[spoiler:"Big brother" in Italian would either be the formal term "fratello maggiore" or the informal, affectionate "fratellone". "Grande fratello", the term used in his name, only ever refers to [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour one specific]] {{Big Brother|IsWatching}}.]]
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul
* {{Expy}}: Of [[PowerRangersTimeForce Frax]]
* FlatCharacter: He's evil, [[spoiler:but used to be good.]] That's it.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: [[spoiler:Slips into this on the occasions that Fratello resurfaces.]]
* InformedAttribute: He is repeatedly stated to [[spoiler:not have feelings due to being a robot yet he is clearly seen being angry and even remorseful over the course of the season]].
* MeaningfulName: His full name is Italian (or, more precisely, an Italian BlindIdiotTranslation) for [[spoiler:My Dear Big Brother]].
* ObviousJudas: [[invoked]] [[spoiler:It really shouldn't even be a spoiler that he's not actually loyal to Queen Chrysalis.]]
* OverlyLongName: [[spoiler:Il Mio Caro Grande Fratello]]. Now that's a mouthful.
* RememberTheNewGuy: [[spoiler:Turns out the second main antagonist of ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic II'' is Cadance's brother Fratello, who we never heard of before.]]
* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler:After Fratello's death, Brain builds a replacement Fratello in ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic III''.]]

[[caption-width-right:100: Remember the time Distraught tried to wipe out Starfleet in revenge over them killing Discord? Swell guy, that Distraught.]]
* AffablyEvil: Distraught has no problem holding parties and serving ice cream to the very same ponies that he plans on destroying.
* FlatCharacter: He wants to avenge his father. That's it.
* HeelFaceTurn: Supposedly, at the very end of ''Starfleet Magic: The Movie''. Not that anything actually comes of it, since [[PutOnABus he's never heard from again]].
* PaletteSwap: [[spoiler:[[{{Plagiarism}} He's very clearly a recolored Discord]].]]
* YouKilledMyFather: And in this case, his father is [[spoiler:Discord]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Melantha]]
* BloodKnight: The closest she gets to an actual character trait, given that we don't get a reason why she is one.
* FlatCharacter: She is the most extreme example of a flat character. While other characters at least have a backstory and one character trait, she has no characterization at all, unless you count the above trope.
* GreenThumb: With a helping of PoisonousPerson.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Finished off by being run through with her own weapon.]]
* ProngsOfPoseidon: The Doom Trident.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Frosteye]]
* AnIcePerson: As his name suggests, he mainly uses ice powers to fight.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Last seen getting buried via a cave-in.
* DumbMuscle: Granted, none of the villains here are exactly TheChessmaster or even {{Genius Bruiser}}s, but Frosteye still stands out for being derided as this by his fellows.
* FlatCharacter: He has ice powers and is [[DumbMuscle kind of stupid]]. That's it.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: His colleagues don't exactly think very highly of him.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He comes [[JustForPun chillingly]] close to bringing about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt via freezing it over, and probably would have succeeded if he didn't [[VillainBall feel the need to show up to gloat in front of Starfleet]].
* [[HumanPopsicle Pony Popsicle]]: He had been trapped in a frozen cavern for a century by Princess Celestia due to [[DisproportionateRetribution being a mocker]].
* ShapeshifterWeapon: Can transform his right arm into an ice lance.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Phaedra]]
* AntiVillain: One of the few characters to go beyond 1 trait. Though affiliated with Sombra, she has higher morals than her allies.
* FlatCharacter: She loves Royce and has more morals than her allies. That's it.
* HighHeelFaceTurn: The only one of Sombra's minions to undergo one, but [[HeelFaceDoorSlam it doesn't last long...]]
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Turned to evil because her boyfriend Royce left her.
* LoveRedeems: Royce's love for her ultimately triggers her HeelFaceTurn.
* SwordBeam: The Blade Blaster.
* TakenForGranite: Her fate, [[TogetherInDeath along with Royce.]]
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Happens in ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic III'', Episode 11, where she is called away by Sombra when she is about to kill Royce and Pinkie Pie, though at least there's a reasonable explanation (She already got the Crystal Heart Sombra told her to get).
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Harkin]]
* BloodKnight: Was born with no knowledge of his family or world, so his life became all about fighting and searching for a worthy opponent. His Blood Knight tendencies eventually [[TheStarscream led to him betraying Sombra.]]
* EvilCounterpart: Set up as one for Lightning. Both are powerful beings who lost their family and world at a young age, but while Lightning was taken in by Grand Ruler and taught to use his powers to defend others, Harkin had no such luck and ended up as a nihilistic fighting machine.
* FlatCharacter: He wants to fight strong opponents. That's it.
* FrickinLaserBeams: His signature move, Red Rays. Also counts as a HandBlast.
* AGoodWayToDie: [[spoiler:To him, being bested by an Enticorn - namely, Lightning - counts as this.]]
* MagicKnight: He has shades of this.
* MegatonPunch: Harkin's Fists of Fury attack.
* VillainTeamUp: In Episode 16 of ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic III'', he and Raven team up.

* {{Crusading Widow|er}}: A villainous example, in that her motivation for going after Celestia is to avenge the death of her husband (who was killed in an accident involving her).
* {{Expy}}: She is named and based off the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' character. [[{{Plagiarism}} As you can see in her character image.]]
* FlatCharacter: She wants to avenge the death of her husband. That's it.
* GoodPowersBadPeople: Wields the Uniforce despite being a villain.
* HeroKiller: Ultimately the one to kill [[spoiler:Twilight Sparkle]].
* LoneWolfBoss: She isn't affiliated with Sombra, targeting Celestia of her own accord.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Not of her own accord, though - she's transformed into yet another giant monster by Melantha.]]
* {{Plagiarism}}: She's very clearly just a slightly edited [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Raven]].
* UnknownRival: To Celestia. [[spoiler:[[ItsPersonal That is, until she kills Twilight Sparkle]]]].
* VillainTeamUp: In Episode 16 of ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic III'', she and Harkin team up.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Notably, she actually ''does'' try to just shoot Celestia with a crossbow. It doesn't work, but it still stands out among villains plagued with ComplexityAddiction.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:King Sombra[=/=][[spoiler:Dusk Shine]]]]
* BadBoss: Yells at and threatens his minions quite a bit.
* BigBad: Of ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet III''.
* TheBully: In the Starfleet continuity, Sombra was first seen as a bully named [[spoiler:Dusk Shine]].
* CheatersNeverProsper: [[spoiler:As Dusk Shine, he drugs Celesto's water during a tournament to determine who will guard Celestia. He gets caught, striped of his rank, and banished.]]
* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler:Dusk Shine]] is named after the male version of Twilight Sparkle. Considering how much Mykan hates Twilight, it wouldn't be a surprise if this is why he would use that name.
* FlatCharacter: He's evil. That's it.
** [[spoiler:Dusk Shine was a bully. That's it.]]
* FromNobodyToNightmare: [[spoiler:Started as a common bully, but later became a legitimate threat to United Equestria.]]
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Granted, it's not that far from canon in this case.
* VillainDecay: Sombra's canon incarnation was an inexorable force of darkness that could only be held at bay by the Crystal Heart. Here, he [[OrcusOnHisThrone prefers to sit back and let his minions do the dirty work even after the Crystal Heart is shattered]], and when he does take action, he's nowhere near the borderline EldritchAbomination he's portrayed as in canon.

[[folder:The Dark King]]
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chernabog.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:Chernabog's career really went downhill after [[Disney/{{Fantasia}} Bald Mountain]].]]
* ConquerorFromTheFuture: He has conquered most of United Equestria in the future.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: Starfleet is directly responsible for the Dark King's existence, as he is a manifestation of "dark energy" from the prisoners that Starfleet tried to rehabilitate.
* FlatCharacter: He's evil. That's it.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Like Titan before him, he wants to do evil things ForTheEvulz.
* MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: The Dark King has conquered most of United Equestria in the future, but faces resistance that prevents him from finishing the job. Thus, he goes back in time to try and prevent Starfleet from winning in the past.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: A darkness-themed villain [[FlatCharacter with hardly any personality]] that lives on a dark planet and has an eccentric group of minions whom he tasks with summoning monsters to stop Starfleet. This description applies to both Titan and the Dark King.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Dark King's Minions]]
Composed of [[{{OurGiantsAreDifferent}} Tnaig]], [[{{OurDemonsAreDifferent}} Nomed]], [[{{OurOgresAreHungrier}} Ergo]], [[{{GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe}} Neila]], and [[{{EvilCounterpart}} Esroh Dab]]
* AnAesop: According to Esroh Dab's [[http://dakari-king-mykan.deviantart.com/art/MBPSFM-Esroh-Dab-581378475 profile]] (spoilers inside), he was created to 'help people realize that there are some things you just can't help or change, no matter how you try, and although Friendship(sic) can help in many things, it can't really save you from everything or change things that much'. And it's shown by [[spoiler:him willingly committing a sort of SuicideByCop courtesy of Tnaig, claiming he can't change who he is despite the ponies offering him their support... [[BrokenAesop except nobody actually does anything to stop Esroh from basically committing suicide and they just stand around and watch him die.]]]]
* {{Flat Character}}s: They're evil. That's it.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:Esroh Dab gets killed before he can turn good.]]
* InformedAttribute: Yet again, it is stated that one of the villains (in this case, Esroh Dab) is incapable of feeling emotions yet he demonstrates he is quite capable of doing so.
* SdrawkcabName

[[folder:The Cardinals]]
Twelve Monsters based on the EasternZodiac. They are composed of [[{{YouDirtyRat}} Rat Racer]], [[{{ALoadofBull}} Big Bull]], [[{{PantheraAwesome}} Flame-Stripes]], [[{{HairRaisingHare}} Bouncer]], [[{{OurDragonsAreDifferent}} Dragoon]], [[{{ReptilesAreAbhorrent}} Dark Scales]], [[{{MechanicalHorse}} Silver Steed]], Baa-Baa Black, [[{{KillerGorilla}} Chompanzee]], Buster Beak, [[{{BewareofViciousDog}} Underdog]], and [[{{GluttonousPig}} Boar Bottoms]]
* {{Acrofatic}}: Boar Bottoms, especially after Ergo uses "Speed Up" magic on him
* AntiMagic: Dark Scales can dispel magic, though it's only used to prevent Starfleet from activating Mega Mode.
* AsteroidsMonster: Baa-Baa Black
* BlowYouAway: Buster Beak
* [[{{BoxingKangaroo}} Boxing... Rabbit?]]: For some reason, Bouncer fights with boxing gloves.
* BreathWeapon: Flame-Stripes, Chompanzee, and Boar Bottoms all can use these, though in the case of Boar Bottoms, he has to absorb energy beforehand.
* CallingYourAttacks: Zigzagged. 4 of the Cardinals call their attacks, while the rest are completely silent.
* CardsOfPower: The name Cardinal refers to the fact that they are summoned from magical cards.
* CastingAShadow: Dragoon and Dark Scales
* DishingOutDirt: Big Bull and Underdog.
* {{Flat Character}}s: They're evil. That's it.
* GemstoneAssault: Big Bull's Gem Missile.
* {{Kevlard}}: Boar Bottoms.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: Like Titan's monsters and the Changelings before them, they are sent one at a time to fight the heroes.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted. In the first chapter of ''Starfleet Magic IV'', a minotaur named Big Bull appears in Lightning's nightmare. He isn't the same Big Bull as the Cardinal.
* PlayingWithFire: As the name implies, Flame-Stripes.
* ShockAndAwe: Buster Beak and Dragoon
* ShockwaveStomp: Aside from boxing, this is Bouncer's other special ability.
* SuperSpeed: Rat Racer
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Tirek]]
* FlatCharacter: He's evil. That's it.
* HeelFaceTurn: Not that anything comes from it, considering he's almost immediately PutOnABus.
* InNameOnly: Tirek is portrayed as significantly different from how he was portrayed in "Twilight's Kingdom", since in Starfleet continuity, that episode never happened.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Phantom of Magic[=/=][[spoiler:Dr. Emil Kudos]]]]
[[quoteright:100:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/count_bleck.jpg]]

* TheDragon: To Tirek
* FlatCharacter: He's evil [[spoiler:because he got dumped]]. That's it.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:Dr. Kudos became evil because a pony named Peach Berry rejected him for another pony with magical powers.]]
* PhantomZone: After [[spoiler:Tirek turns good, Kudos uses his remaining magic to go to "someplace where things go to disappear", and presumably, will never be seen again.]]
* PowerParasite: The Phantom's ability allows him to steal the Cutie Marks of other ponies, though unlike most Power Parasites, he does not gain the power he stole.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Before he became the Phantom, [[spoiler:Dr. Kudos was Shining Armor's marriage counselor.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Princess Avyanna]]
* FlatCharacter: She's a pirate pretending to help Starfleet. That's it.
* TheMole: Though seemingly working with Starfleet, it is made very obvious that she will betray them.
* PirateGirl: A SpacePirate Girl no less.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Insecto Armada]]
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: They're described as warmongers who exist only to conquer planets and destroy other species to show off their power.
* {{Flat Character}}s: They're evil. That's it.
* HollywoodAcid: While their actual powers are quite diverse, a disproportionately large number of them use acid attacks.
* InsectoidAliens: As their name suggests, they're humanoid alien bugs.
* MauveShirt: The Insecto commanders. They each get a name, a couple of defining traits, one fight scene, and are then killed off.
* {{Mooks}}: Stingars, which are basically drones that serve only to get mown down in waves by the heroes.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Most Insectos have numerous limbs, like real-life insects.
* WeHaveReserves: They don't get too bothered by losses; after all, they can easily send more. In the initial assault on United Equestria, their ships are shown firing at Stingars in order to get at the heroes.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:King Pinsar]]
* BadBoss: All of the main villains fall under this category, but Pinsar takes the cake. He's perfectly fine with sending swarms of his mooks to their deaths and [[YouHaveFailedMe remotely executes any of his commanders that get captured by Starfleet]].
* BigBad: Of ''Starfleet Magic V''.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:He is defeated by Celesto a little over halfway into the story and succumbs to his injuries, and the BigBad role is taken over by Ladybird and Phoebe afterwards.]]
* DragonAscendant: He started out as a minion of Titan, but after Titan's defeat, he becomes a new major threat to United Equestria.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He cares to some degree about his wife and daughter, and he serves Titan partly to keep them safe.
* FlatCharacter: He's evil and has a grudge against Celesto, but still cares about his family. That's it. Granted, this makes him ''marginally'' less flat than most.
* GalacticConqueror: As the leader of the Insecto Armada, Pinsar has conquered numerous worlds and turns his attention to United Equestria.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Basically, he's evil because his race gets off on destroying planets ForTheEvulz.
* ItsPersonal: Celesto hates Pinsar more than most enemies because he killed one of Celesto's original Space Ponies who happened to be a close friend. Likewise, Pinsar seeks revenge on Celesto for destroying his fleet and stranding him on a deserted planet.
* PapaWolf: He's worried sick when Phoebe runs away. [[spoiler:Stag tricks him into a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Starfleet by telling him that they captured her.]]
* UnholyMatrimony: He and his wife genuinely love each other, and both share a taste for conquest and destruction.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Queen Ladybird]]
* AvengingTheVillain: [[spoiler:She swears to avenge her husband's death after Pinsar is killed by Celesto.]]
* FlatCharacter: She's King Pinsar's wife and Princess Pheobe's mother. That's it.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Every bit as ruthless as her husband.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:A villainous example. She dies ensuring Phoebe's safe getaway from the exploding Insecto mothership.]]
* UnholyMatrimony: Her marriage with Pinsar is about as happy as a pair of {{Galactic Conqueror}}s can get.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Princess Phoebe]]
* AvengingTheVillain: [[spoiler:She continues the fight against Starfleet to avenge her father's death at Celesto's hand. Her mother is included as well when she dies at the hands of Grand Celestial Ruler.]]
* CruelMercy: [[spoiler:Starfleet imprisons Phoebe instead of killing her to make her suffer the same pain she inflicted on them (whatever that was) as long as she is imprisoned.]]
* DaddysLittleVillain: Although much to her frustration, daddy never gives her a chance to prove it [[spoiler:until he dies]].
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:After Pinsar succumbs to his injuries, he bestows his power upon her and her mother, and Phoebe takes over as leader of the Armada.]]
* {{Flanderization}}: Initially, Phoebe has a couple of distinguishing traits, such as her desire to prove herself and a fixation on beauty. She eventually loses all of these and becomes another generic villain [[spoiler:after Pinsar dies]].
* FlatCharacter: She's the arrogant daughter of King Pinsar and Queen Ladybird. That's it. However, she actually goes through a small CharacterDevelopment arc... which is promptly dropped after its conclusion.
* RebelliousPrincess: She's developed a rebellious streak due to her father's overprotectiveness and neglect, and eventually runs away from home.
* SpoiledBrat: Courtesy of Pinsar; however, he's otherwise a neglectful parent, which doesn't sit well with her. She eventually grows out of it, though.
* WellDoneDaughterGirl: Despite being forbidden from fighting Starfleet by her father, Phoebe takes the fight to them a couple of times anyway to try and prove her worth to him.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:General Stag and General Slick]]
* CoDragons: To Pinsar.
* {{Flat Character}}s: They're evil and Stag wants to be the leader of the Insecto Armada instead of Pinsar. That's it.
* SlayingMantis: Slick is one.
* TheStarscream: Stag plots to dethrone Pinsar and take over the armada for himself. Slick doesn't want any part of it, but Stag forces him to keep quiet.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Two minions of the BigBad that are always seen with each other.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Black Dragon Knight]]
* BlackKnight: A black DragonKnight, no less.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: She reasons that dragons pillage and terrorize by nature, which makes the original Dragon Knight and Spike both disgraces to dragonkind as they avoided such a lifestyle in favor of the KnightInShiningArmor attitude.
* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:She's Spike's sister Scaley, and seeks him out to defeat him.]]
* DarkIsEvil: That's how you can tell she's an evil version of Spike.
* EvilCounterpart: To Spike.
* FlatCharacter: She's evil, thinks Spike is a disgrace to dragonkind, and wants to take him down a notch. That's about it.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Her true identity is Scaley, daughter of the Dragon Knight and sister to Spike.]]
* MirrorMatch: She copied the Dragon Knight's powers, allowing her to match Spike blow for blow. [[spoiler:She even duplicates his Majestic Dragon SuperMode.]]
* SamusIsAGirl: Black Dragon Knight is actually female, although it's not much of a twist as it's revealed in her first appearance.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Black Dragon Knight is a villain not affiliated with the BigBad, who specifically seeks to fight one of the heroes for personal reasons, with their final battle taking place in a volcano [[spoiler:and being ended by the hero's SuperMode]]. Note that this description also applies to Harkin.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: She can transform into other ponies, as demonstrated in her debut on Lightning Dawn. However, Spike is able to sniff her out.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Windy Bag]]
* ArchEnemy: Of Mykan Stevens's pony counterpart. The grudge between them drives much of her subplot.
* ArcVillain: The closest thing season 6 has to a BigBad.
* FlatCharacter: She wants to return Equestria to the way it was and hates Pony Mykan. That's it.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: She makes several attempts on the life of Pony!Mykan Stevens to try and take his property. Stevens happens to be an asocial {{Jerkass}} to begin with.
* NonActionBigBad: Unlike most villains, Windy Bag is a normal Equestrian pony, so she avoids clashing with Starfleet for the most part.
* TakeThatCritics: She's the ArchEnemy of an AuthorAvatar and is specifically opposed to Starfleet, so there's your clue as to who Windy Bag is supposed to represent.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Her goal is to bring back the old Equestria, by freeing the Equestrian ponies from their brainwashing and driving Starfleet out... and builds a WaveMotionGun to do so.
* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: She strives to free Equestria from Starfleet; they label her a criminal.
[[/folder]]
!Starfleet Humans Villains
[[folder:Flash Sentry]]
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: [[spoiler:Human in the source material, a Crystallite in this.]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: The ''Equestria Girls'' films gave no indication of Flash Sentry being anything other than an ordinary human. [[spoiler:In ''Starfleet Humans'', he's the son of Empress Sapphira and serves as her [[TheDragon Dragon]].]]
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:In ''Starfleet Humans'', he serves as this to Sapphira, his mother.]]
* FlatCharacter: [[spoiler:He's evil.]] That's it.
* HumanAliens: [[spoiler:He's a Crystallite.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: At the end of ''Starfleet Humans'', he gets reformed by [[AmnesiacsAreInnocent erasing all memories of his past life]], suppressing his powers in the process. [[spoiler:They resurface in ''Starpops'' when he hears about the death of Twilight Sparkle.]]
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:The climax of ''Starpops'' has him regaining his memories and Crystallite powers and choosing to fight alongside the heroes of his own accord. However, he gets fatally poisoned by Scales during the fight.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Sapphira]]
* TheAssimilator: Her goal is to use a KillSat to turn all of Earth's population into her Crystallite servants.
* BigBad: Of ''Starfleet Humans''.
* EvilTeacher: In the human world, she masquerades as the principal of Crystal High.
* FlatCharacter: She's evil. That's it.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: The Crystallites have "[[AlwaysChaoticEvil vain, greedy conqueror]]" as their [[PlanetOfHats hat]], and that's about as much motivation as Sapphira gets.
* OneWingedAngel: [[FusionDance Combines with her satellite]] during the final battle.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Dazzlings]]
* AdaptationalWimp: By far the worst case out of all the characters from ''[=FiM=]'' canon. Basically all of their notable moments were given to the Demonites instead; the Dazzlings spend most of ''Starpops'' severely weakened, playing second fiddle to them, and only being a minor nuisance at best. They're also defeated much more easily.
* {{Flanderization}}: Their individual personalities get erased, leaving them as generic villains.
* {{Flat Character}}s: They're evil. That's it.
* UnwittingPawn: The Demonites use them to gather energy for themselves, then throw them under a bus at the climax.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Demonites[=/=]D-Man Knights]]
* BigBad: They serve as the main antagonists of ''Starpops'', with Blaze as their leader.
* BlobMonster: Slick is some kind of slime monster with a defined form.
* BlowYouAway: Tempest.
* BondVillainStupidity: Continuously tell Starfleet that they can resurrect each other should one of them fall in battle as long as at least one of them is still alive. [[IdiotBall If that wasn't enough, it takes awhile for the heroes to realize this despite the Demonites telling them this continuously.]]
* CameBackStrong: If one Demonite is killed, the others can revive him, and make him even stronger. As such, they have to all be destroyed at the same time.
* DishingOutDirt: Boomer.
* TheDividual: They have [[FlatCharacter such little personality]] and are always together that they may as well just been one character.
* FiveBadBand: Subverted. While there are five of them, [[FlatCharacter they don't get nearly enough characterization to qualify for the trope]], and are more of a [[TheDividual collective Big Bad]].
* {{Flat Character}}s: They're evil. That's it.
* ForTheEvulz: Their only motivation is to spread destruction for its own sake.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: They're not given much in the way of motivation or characterization beyond "group of [[InsistentTerminology demons]] that want to destroy stuff".
* LouisCypher: Hmm, wonder what their band name could mean...
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: They're supposedly demons, [[InformedAttribute but demonstrate almost none of the typical traits]].
* PoisonousPerson: Scales.
* PlayingWithFire: Blaze.
* SpearCounterpart: To the Dazzlings, from powers to role all the way down to backstory. [[FlatCharacter The only thing missing is personality.]]
* {{Sssssnaketalk}}: Scales talks this way.
* TotallyRadical: '''''"D-Man Knights".'''''
* VillainSong: Two. One based on [[Music/MichaelJackson Michael Jackson's]] ''Thriller'' and the other one based on a parody of [[Music/LadyGaga Lady Gaga's]] ''Poker Face''. ([[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, really.]])
