Dewicking as Static Character is now Definition Only.


* StaticCharacter: Not now, but we find out this is why God imprisoned her: he ''tried'' to get her to become better, but all she ever did was destroy the worlds he created to try and inspire her to become better without changing at all. Subverted in the end, as she FINALLY gets to love creation and reconciles with God.

* GodIsEvil: Many of the characters in the show have voiced having a low opinion of the almighty, ranging from humans who see him as a deadbeat dad who won't do anything to help his creations, to supernatural creatures like demons who actually believe that God is actively making the universe a terrible place. Turns out, [[TheExtremistWasRight they were right.]]

Turns out, [[TheExtremistWasRight they were right.]]right:]] God is a selfish, petty, spiteful, vindictive little man who created a whole [[CrapsackWorld awful universe]] just to torture its inhabitants to keep himself amused. He has a particular love of creating a template of two brothers to torture and set against each other for his approval, with Dean and Sam being the ultimate iteration after Michael and Lucifer. In fact, God got so angry that the Winchesters both fought back and defied him that he was in the process of [[ApocalypseHow/ClassZ wiping the entire slate clean]] by the series finale.

* AdaptationalSexuality: In just about every version of Myth/ClassicalMythology Artemis is, depending on one's interpretation, either asexual or gay and therefore not likely to fall in love with a man.

* HeManWomanHater: Metatron describes God as a sexist, which [[MythologyGag may explain]] why so few women live through a ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' episode. His statements about having had girlfriends and treating Rowena fairly well implies He grew out of it, although that was when he was still pretending to be good and he needed Rowena's help to fight against The Darkness, so it's unclear if he really grew out of it.

* GoodIsNotNice: For a broad definition of good. While not actively malevolent, Chuck/God is generally a lazy jerk to everyone and, contrary to other versions of this trope that may be rude but try to help people or prevent bad things from happening, He does as little as possible. Getting Him to do anything about, well, anything requires tremendous effort.

* {{Manchild}}: For all his power, he's basically a big child who throws temper tantrums when things don't go his way.



* PsychopathicManchild: Revealed to be this in "Moriah"-He views all of creation the same way a child views a TV series, and everything the Winchesters have gone through is a result of Him taking interest in them as His "favorite show". When they decide to stop playing along, He resorts to increasingly extreme measures to punish them.

* EvilIsPetty: Chuck hates the Winchesters He's shown hurting and killing people for just being minor annoyances to him. And he's so much after they petty and vindictive that he kills his own son, Michael, for having defied him earlier, even though he regretted it and was ready to rejoin his father's side. After Sam and Dean keep defying him him, he grows to hate them so much that even when they volunteer to let him kill them in exchange for bringing everyone else back he refuses in favor of leaving them alone in a dead world.



* HateSink: Becomes this in Season 15, after he showed his true colors in the last episode of the previous season. He's shown to be an incredibly petty and vindictive god who only cares about himself, doesn't take any responsibility for any of his KickTheDog moments and acts like he's the victim.



* HumansAreSpecial: Believed this so much that He commanded the angels to bow to humanity. He briefly loses this belief thanks to Sam and Dean selfishly releasing Amara, but Metatron argues strongly for it and the boys convince Him through their actions.

Lucifer was already on the path of villainy because of the influence of The Darkness.


* GreaterScopeVillain: He's revealed to be the chief architect of the Winchesters' (and rest of the world's misery) for more than 14 years in the making. Every villain in this series is just a character in God's storyline, and the random plots are revealed to be God messing around his story to get his next lead. He finally drops the act in the Season 14 finale as the Winchesters defy his setting by refusing to kill Jack, at which point he just sighs and actively becomes the BigBad of the final season. He also banished Lucifer to a cage in Hell where he is stung up and tied to a wall after refusing to bow down to humans, causing his descent into villainy.

* WriterOnBoard: Chuck is literally revealed to be the architect of the show, as He didn't end the Winchesters' story for his own amusement, as well as not making it boring. It's also revealed each villain and monster was handpicked by God to prove a challenge for them to grow, the fall of Castiel, the rise of Leviathans, the Mark of Cain issues, and even Jack's birth was planned by Him. He even gives the boys literal PlotArmor (yes, it's mentioned as actually existing) and not their companions, which is why AnyoneCanDie in droves. And the ''actual'' [[SeasonalRot troubles]] [[IdiotPlot in the show]] is chalked up to God being a hack as a writer and struggling to maximize the entertainment value. God quits being this as the Winchesters deviated from His original plan to let Dean kill Jack for sentimental value, which Dean refused to. Tthen at the very end he gets depowered and made a mortal, and the series ends.

* TheAntiGod: As it turns out, Amara is the opposite of God in power and basic nature, but not in morality. He is light and "being" while she is darkness and nothingness, but she is not pure evil, nor is he pure goodness. God's moral code is as a parent to his children while Amara is really just discovering her own, as there's now more than just her brother for her to see herself in relation to. Bonus points for God being (a rather average) male (or at least choosing to look male) while the Darkness chooses an attractive female form.
