[[folder: Caleb/Harmony]]
[-Player: @/{{FerrousMaelstom}}-] \\\

Caleb ''was'' an entirely normal teen boy, before he merged with Harmony, a newborn alien, and lost his memory. Caleb seems to alternate between introvert and misanthrope, though he's entirely aware of his own issues. Harmony is bubbly and looking to make friends and defeat evil, though Caleb's not as enthusiastic. As they can't currently be split, they share the body and attend the academy as one student.

* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Harmony learned it through the mental connection.
* EnergyAbsorption: While it's the way Harmony's species feeds, it also proves useful in battles.
* IdentityAmnesia: Caleb lost everything personal (and some but not all of his common knowledge), though it's unclear if this was before or due to the merge.
* LosingAShoeInTheStruggle: As Harmony's ooze comes out of his skin and he refuses a costume, it often tears up his clothes in the progress.
* NoBiologicalSex: Harmony's race has no biological sex but she identifies as female.
* PowerIncontinence: If either of their emotions get out of control, so do their powers. Given that one of their powers can manifest as [[HavingABlast explosions]], this is concerning.
* PowerLimiter: The stabiliser, a device Overload made to let them use their powers safely. While it makes them weaker, it allows them to use the force blast power without collateral damage.
* ShapeshifterBaggage: Played with - Harmony has only a limited quantity of matter but it still seems to disappear when it goes back inside Caleb.
* ShapeshifterWeapon: Harmony can shape her matter, so often forms tendrils or weapons to fight with.
* SlimeGirl: Harmony's true form, though she can't access it while bonded to Caleb. She is capable of VoluntaryShapeshifting though.
* TheSymbiote: Mutualistic type. Caleb gets healed and to use Harmony's powers, while Harmony gets experience of humanity and matures faster.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: A strange side-effect of the bond is Caleb's hair going purple and being seemingly immune to hair dye.

* [[TheAssimilator Assimilator]]: [[HumanResources Why waste what one recovers form a battle]]? Mahvash will happily pick up souvenirs and learn from her foes and 'friends' alike. Most notably, Druj Mahvash uses the magic touch of one of her classmates and variant copies of the others abilities to bypass her fading boy with a tulpa body and imbue things without destroying them.

* CallingYourAttacks: Somewhat between this and MagicalIncantation. Matten ''is'' the class mage. All of her skills[[note]]supernatural or not[[/note]] and variations have names. She just does not shout them. That said, she doesn't actually need to name or gesture for them at all. Her motions and words are pure theatrics (and somewhat mnemonic) for an entirely mental effort.
* CombatPragmatist: While she enjoys her conflicts, she does intend to end them in her favor, preferably without giving the other a chance to retaliate. She's not quite a NoNonsenseNemesis though, as she enjoys conversing with enemies mid fight, studying adversaries, and [[WarriorPoet philosophizing about their purposes and what lead them to cross paths]] and will sometimes use them as testers for new tricks.

* CreepyGood: As noted in story, Matten is... Matten.

* DisabledDeity: In general, sight is a rare trait among daeva, more or less always taken from other beings. There's a reason they often appear as StarfishAliens. Daeva rely on touch and those forms impress each other.

* HolyHalo: A perfect black body [[note]]in the physics sense[[/note]], and quite visible, but having a halo doesn't get Matten as much pull as one thinks. Complete with [[note]]the inverse of[[/note]] PhosphorEssence, for aside from her halo, she has a constant dimness about her.

* ProperlyParanoid: [PlayedWith], but she's often prepared for threats from people who have given her no reason to suspect them, and her history has given her a very quick reaction time to danger. She still thinks Saint Academy will have her killed when she becomes inconvenient. Not to mention that her time in the forest well and truly '[[ReformedbutRejected proved]]' to her that 'Team Saintly Hero' was not the cuddly accepting place that excited her idealism. But they still usually win.

* [[NameThatUnfoldsLikeLotusBlossom]]
* [[NobleDemon Noble Daeva]]: Where Matten starts off upon arrival to the academy. Her basic goal is less to learn about being heroic, and more about studying the supers whom are most successful (and near-worshiped) to try adapting some of their methods for her own kin. Not like doomsday devices and the like ever work, and she knows she'd make more enduring and agreeable progress on a realm somewhere between [[ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil hospitable for her own]] and everyone else. All the while, her sense of loyalty and reciprocity, appreciation for hospitality [[note]]she won't deliberately expose the people who welcome her to undue suffering[[/note]] and other then EvilVirtues keep her grounded and humored ''maybe'' long enough for a FaceHeelTurn. In the meantime though, she's a HumanoidAbomination [[TheFettered self-restrained]] only by a personal sense of ethics and the capacity for (mostly) selfish love and humor, while exhibiting, well, the rest of this list.
* OurGodsAreGreater: Still a [[GodOfEvil daeva]], albeit lower tier, and, accordingly, Class 1 tends to avoid taking her gifts or patronage, much to her chagrin. Mikael confusing her with a demon is a particular aggravation. She can reach souls, create clerics and 'chosen ones', and of course exercise her own innate power, but these all come with troubling twists. Though that covers up the taxonomy problem with mechanics. Matten and her kind are ''[[EldritchAbomination other]]'' things haphazardly lumped into a category with the likes of Yazata, Olympians, Baals, etc. Daeva innately warp the universe and its natural laws with their very presence. With Matten herself, she dims the light and [[EvilTaintedThePlace 'renovates' the very earth where she treads, breaking the bonds between sacred elements or magics and their source]]. Her body can only be called that in the loosest sense, being 'inspired by' not of flesh and blood. She has 'human' organs speaks and sings with her ribs crushing her lungs and thinks clearly after apparently severe head trauma, and the daeva only breathes or moves her eyes to be sociable. When she's less sociable, well during the tournament, she kept things crawling around inside and over her skin. [[FalseReassurance But she is not unkind.]]
* ParentalSubstitute: ''The'' major reason she's as adjusted and grounded as she is. [[labelnote: Bare bones but still a spoiler:]] [[spoiler: She has [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15185871840A21012400&page=2#32 three parents, not including her hosts', the primordial Aka Manah and two otherwise ordinary Elamites from the Bronze Age]]. If not for the latter, she might be as deep in self-destructive calamity as her creator intended--although Areshko sent her to them in the first place, and acts as a fourth parental figure of sorts albeit only slightly less distant than the impersonal force.]][[/labelnote]] On the other end, this is her main pursuit in any social circle. [[note]]Displayed prominently when she doesn't take an answer form Lucy without making the girl look her in the eyes and speak surely--for Lucy anyway.[[/note]] Both her own (foster) parents and Areshko poke fun at her acting the part of Class 1's 'mother', albeit she does 'motherhood' so bizarrely that Class 1 hardly considers her parental.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Is far from reluctant to hurt her opponents. Again, she loves her job and the [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming sounds]]. Although, Saint would prefer she emphasize the inspiration part over the smiting evil part. While Mahvash is not quite as extreme as the first example on that page, she starts of with perhaps the cruelest fighting style. [[note]]Like cutting down the albeit holographic barbarians' legs at the knees as an opening move in the class's first exercise.[[/note]] Cross Matten, by say, harming her compatriots and her fighting style gets hard to distinguish from ColdBloodedTorture. This is also the inevitable result of anyone sending Matten on a 'good' task pre-Saint Academy.
* PhysicalGod: What she dreams of being, complete [[PhysicalReligion with a following and place in making the world tick]].

* PoisonousFriend / PsychoSidekick: Matten has a ''peculiar'' moral code [[note]]Makes more sense if you consider her moral relativism and [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15189046040A95610900&page=73#comment-1821 this]][[/note]], but she's quite loyal to her companions and teachers.

* SelfConstructedBeing: She has no true form, but maintains her 'familiar' form by borrowing the tulpa creation method. [[spoiler: And her whole personality, is a thing, [[BecomingTheMask which she only belatedly adopted]].]]

''"People have been telling me I'm special as soon as I could understand. I don't want that. I didn't work for this. I want to'' '''''earn''''' ''it."''

Mahvash is more than aware of [[{{UsefulNotes/Existentialism}} life as a]] WideOpenSandBox and that she has the might to move mountains her way. She both revels in that power and is constantly refining it and seeking its best outlets. [[ChaoticEvil Random destruction]] she found unfulfilling. For the moment, the daeva considers herself Class 1's GoodShepherd.

'''Briefly:''' Mahvash is both adventurous and charitable, if only because, staying still too long is quite unfulfilling and she loves attention[[note]] and gets a sort of selfless glee when she successfully influences people.

Mahvash being on the side of Saint and his heroes comes more from '[[NobleDemon nobility]]' than 'goodness', even if she's just as happy to provide and just as alert to calls for aid. She considers herself a [[KnightErrant goddess errant]], and one always on the lookout for [[WarriorPoet continuing education and greater glory (to herself and others)]]. Even now, the daeva considers herself Class 1's GoodShepherd and patron shade of divinity, even if her flock are rather stubborn and she has the whole GodOfEvil thing on her CV. (Both are pluses to her.)

* '''BrokenAce:''' Ebony is physically beautiful, intelligent, and blessed with the power of telekinesis – and has gotten praise upon praise for it throughout her early life by her parents; who assumed her to be some sort of ChosenOne. Initially having become self-absorbed and prideful, now Ebony only feels hollow from this undeserved pedestal she's been encouraged to be placed on – and as such is desperately trying many other things in an attempt to feel as if she has ''earned'' something.

* '''IJustWantToBeNormal:''' In a fashion. Ebony has little to no interest in her powers, since she views them as a relatively normal gift that she simply happened to be born with and thus not worthy of any praise. While she does have the occasional inclinations of spite towards them and truthfully wouldn't care if they were removed or nullified, a lot of her frustration comes from the ''treatment'' she used to receive for them.

* '''CripplingOverspecialization:''' ZigZagged. Ebony does seem to have some analytical and mechanical knowledge alongside her telekinesis, but she is lacking in more informal skills such as basic conversation and recreational activities.
* '''ElegantClassicalMusician:''' Downplayed, as musicality is one of the few skills she is happy to say she doesn't naturally excel in. She is a practicing violinist of so-far basic ability.

* '''EmotionalSuppression:''' One of her tactics to deter unwanted attention from herself was this. It backfired.

[-Player: @/{{nman}}-] \\\
A raver who adheres to Peace, Love, Unity, Respect when it comes to performing.

[[folder:Oliver Greene]]
[-Player: @/{{BismuthOmega}}-]

A former space-miner turned space-rebel, Oliver is often described as the OnlySaneMan, and rightfully so. Granted, he did grow up on a uranium mining colony outside of the Solar system, and arrived at Earth through virtue of getting punched through space by a giant robot. He has the ability to act as a catalyst for energy conversion, using metal- like his grandfather's old sword- to attract magnetic energy and convert it to different types of energy, like kinetic energy in the form of a force field or an energy beam.

* AncestralWeapon: He favors his grandfather's sword in battle.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Energy probably can't work that way. The author doesn't care.
* CareerEndingInjury: Was leading a rebellion on his home satellite, until he was punched through space, and the effort to stay alive burnt out most of his powers.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Oliver collects various metallic objects, just in case he doesn't have his sword on him.
* DumbMuscle: Subverted. He's definitely muscular, though he's also a tactical mastermind.
* EquivalentExchange: This and the law of Conservation of Energy are how his powers work.
* MetalHead: He likes metal music, and requires metal for his powers.
* NotWearingTights: Despite going to a superhero school for superheroes, he has no plans to join their ranks
* StrangerInAStrangeSchool: Almost, except he's not mundane. See "Straight Man."
* StraightMan: In a world of smarmy goddesses, teenage Lord Helmets, and bundles of anxiety about to explode, Oliver's pretty laid back.
* TechnicolorEyes: His eyes are purple.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Oliver has functional gills, that people seem to ignore. They tend to focus on his size or his eyes more.

** ClippedWingAngel--Matten's mastery of her domain is especially pronounced in her [[SuperMode base form]], but she's even more [[PowerDegeneration hindered]] by TrueSight, until the Camping Trip anyway. Nonetheless, tricks like DetachmentCombat are debilitating, [[spoiler: and as a thing [[BornOfMagic born of]] [[MadeOfEvil evil essence]], her body may be stable, but when injured, cannot be healed by normal methods (or the nurse's). In her natural state, using or being the target of WhiteMagic [[HeroicRROD backlashes on Matten hard]], though she is finally capable of performing it. Meanwhile, tossing around BlackMagic and going off her instincts remain [[ThisIsYourBrainOnEvil very, very natural]].]]

*** [[AlcubierreDrive Warp Ring]]: By her nature, Matten has a tendency to just appear places, and it's an unwary person who [[OffscreenTeleportation lets her out of their sight]] or expects her to keep out of places where "she couldn't possibly be." In any case, Matten doesn't do star trek teleportation. She does not break down into her component particles, nor is her movement instantaneous. Matten creates a mystic AlcubierreDrive and wraps spacetime around her, or with the aid of Sympathetic Magic, creates bridges. Subjective time does pass for her during her 'instantaneous' movement, and she occasionally uses this technique to buy time to plan.
*** [[DoppelgangerSpin Warp]] [[LightFlickerTeleportation Skipping]]: A short range 'skip' in spacetime, that Matten uses to change her position or make otherwise ordinary movements, while avoiding obstacles. She appears to flicker before appearing elsewhere, leaving a brief phantasm in her prior location. [[spoiler: This easily combines with the full warp ring to let her teleport under full observation]].
*** [[WarpWhistle Anchoring]]: Once used to get around her limits with spacetime travel, Matten still uses these to make an easy connection between places, usually for the benefit of her classmates. Not a natural technique, anchors take [[HermeticMagic time and markings]] to set and even then have only limited use without being manually restored.

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Does this ''constantly,'' so often in fact it is becoming quite concerning. She absolutely refuses to accept a compliment without redirecting it to the person in question, and when she has to simply take it as it is she becomes extremely uncomfortable.
