History Characters / WhateleyUniverseTeamKimba

GenkiGirl martial artist who controls Ki

** Eventually it's revealed that the Star Stalker was originally created as a magical WMD to fight Eldritch Abominations, in the form of an ArtificialHuman. The idea of this weapon loose on it's own and having developed a conscience is enough to terrify those who know about it.

* CrimefightingWithCash: Only 14, still a freshman at [[SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy]], and already doing this. He's paying Whateley inventors to build weapons for him, including a utility belt that has nearly zero external volume but is chock full of HammerSpace, a specialized throwing dart made out of ''depleted uranium'', and the latest thing is a collapsing tactical baton. Made out of adamantium. With osmium for weight in the tip. It cost nearly a quarter of a million dollars.

* BadassBookworm

* GeniusBruiser: Obviously a genius, on top of his extensive education, and extremely dangerous in a fight.
* GuileHero: He is genuinely concerned for people and sincerely wants to help them, [[GeniusBruiser and at need is ready to fight toe-to-toe with demons, monsters and supervillains.]] But Phase is at heart a {{Chessmaster}} whose preferred realm is espionage, trickery, manipulation, bribery and financial pressure. As a ''friend'' put it, "No one else quite has that ''When I rule the world I will not permit such behavior'' attitude".

* {{Polyamory}}: She's dating Thunderbird (male) and also Riptide (female). Thunderbird doesn't know about Riptide yet. Riptide is lesbian and ''not'' happy about Thunderbird.

* {{Polyamory}}: Stalwart/Fey/Bugs. Stalwart doesn't know about Bugs, though.

* {{Polyamory}}: [[spoiler:She]], [[spoiler:Molly]], and [[spoiler:Dorjee]] eventually decide to try this out.

* TouchOfDeath: Her 'Death Blow', which destroys the pattern of its subject and erases it from reality.

* TouchOfDeath: Her 'Death Blow', which destroys the pattern of its subject.

* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When they glow ''green'' you ''really'' need to start worrying - that means the Star Stalker has taken the wheel, and people are going to start hurting and dying.

* HealingFactor: Don't blow her limbs off, it just makes her mad. And the more damage she takes the faster it works. Eventually it's implied that at the higher ends she's not 'healing' per se. Instead, the Star Stalker is re-creating it's avatar from an interdimensional template.

* ClaimedByTheSupernatural: She has a demon mark from the Star Stalker, and her link to said being is what granted her regeneration. Interestingly neither Jade nor Tennyo know about this, though Sara has figured it out and told Fey. The upshot is that she'll do anything for Tennyo, to the point that she's thought that if Tennyo killed her the thing she'd be most worried about is making sure Tennyo didn't feel guilty. Then again, the only reason she was marked in the first place was because of her undying loyalty and devotion to Tenyo, so it's a mostly benevolent form of MoreThanMindControl.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler:She will nail you to a tree. With railroad spikes. Even if you're twice her size. Then she'll burn a message into your flesh.]]

* OddFriendship: with Harvey "Mega-Death" Calloway, the school's worst victim of the ScienceRelatedMemeticDisorder known as Diedrick's Syndrome.

** Phase turned Fireball into a monster by trashing her BIT (accidentally), and keeps thinking about it despite the fact that he never intended to do it and despite the number of Exemplars he did the same thing to, none of them got their [=BITs=] trashed.

* CrimefightingWithCash: Only 14, still a freshman at [[SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy]], and already doing this. He's paying Whateley inventors to build weapons for him, including a utility belt that has nearly zero external volume but is chock full of HammerSpace, a specialized throwing dart made out of ''depleted uranium'', and the latest thing is a collapsing tactical baton. Made out of adamantium. With osmium for weight in the tip. It cost nearly a quarter of a million dollars. He is planning such things as courses in marketing and patent law to allow inventors (as opposed to corporations) to profit from their work. Apparently, many villainous gageteers are [[CutLexLuthorACheck just in it for the money]]. Then there's the job creation work he's planning, including work based on MundaneUtility. He's realized that persecuted minorities are more likely to commit crimes when they're persecuted (and thus poor).

* GuileHero: He is genuinely concerned for people and sincerely wants to help them, and at need is ready to fight toe-to-toe with demons, monsters and supervillains, but Phase is at heart a {{Chessmaster}} whose preferred realm is espionage, trickery, manipulation, bribery and financial pressure. As a ''friend'' puts it: "No one else quite has that ''when I rule the world I will not permit such behavior'' attitude".

* PronounTrouble: Identifies as male, but mostly goes by female pronouns. The out-of-universe explanation for this is that Ayla's gender was retconned in long after other characters and the narration had been referring to him as 'she'. In-universe, he needs to stick with his 'Ayla' identity for legal reasons related to the fact that his family is claiming he's dead.

** Semi-intentionally. He's got a pretty good opinion of the Goodkinds and their works, but canon has proven that they definitely aren't what Phase thinks they are- and he knows it. Take everything he says about them with a grain of salt. It's justified because they are his family, and he's only spent about a year discovering the differences.
** In one story, he makes an inaccurate remark about Harlequin romance novels in his narration. The author confirmed that the inaccuracy is intended, since he's not all that informed on the topic.

* {{Claustrophobia}}: Has some degree of claustrophobia. This is pretty reasonable, since he's been tortured) by a MadScientist while trapped in a box the size of a coffin, nearly suffocated underground, been trapped in a pitch-dark sewer with no flashlight while being attacked by a [[ZombieApocalypse zombie army]], and his own powers mean he can pass through solid objects ''but he can't see or breathe while he's doing it''. Ouch.

* {{Claustrophobia}}: Has some degree of claustrophobia. This is pretty reasonable, since he's: been experimented on (i.e. tortured) by a MadScientist while trapped in a box the size of a coffin; nearly suffocated underground; been trapped in a pitch-dark sewer with no flashlight while being attacked by a [[ZombieApocalypse zombie army]]; and his own powers mean he can pass through solid objects ''but he can't see or breathe while he's doing it''. Ouch.

* StoryBreakerPower: Or she would have, if she weren't so psychologically vulnerable. And even she has opponents she's weaker against à la [[TacticalRockPaperScissors rock-paper-scissors]][[note]]see her fights against Matterhorn and Jabberwock in Boston Brawl 2; Matterhorn's power had the side effect of deflecting her usual plasma blasts, and Jabberwock is so slippery and elusive that she couldn't even lay a finger on him. Mimeo, meanwhile was simply able to utilize her powers better than she could do to long experience with power copying and an extensive background in Power Theory.[[/note]].

* SuperSenses: Her elf ears have sharper hearing than a human's.

* SuperSenses: She has an enhanced sense of hearing.

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: It's that darn glamour.

* {{Glamour}}

* GrayEyes

* PsychicBlockDefense: She has developed an immunity to most, if not all forms of psychic influence, including prying telepaths, the voodoo-wolves' insanity aura, and Sara's lust aura. Especially in regards to the last two, this probably has to do with the Star Stalker being made to fight (and sometimes eat) demons and other {{Eldritch Abomination}}s.

* GreenEyes: Though the 'spitfire' aspect of this trope mostly applies to pre-Diane Ayla.

* GreenEyes

* DoggedNiceGuy: Fey's boyfriend Stalwart, and his pursuit of her.

* {{Nerf}}: In "Ayla and the Mad Scientist", it's discovered that her powers [[spoiler: have been killing entire ecosystems around the country with the energy she's always pulling from ley lines.]] Because of this, she can no longer use power willy-nilly and has to come up with energy-saving alternatives.
** [[spoiler: and then Aunghadhail's spirit is apparently [[DeaderThanDead destroyed entirely]] when battling the remains of Mythos magic in two mind control victims. Whether this sticks, how much of her knowledge remains, and if she is still immortal, remain to be seen.]]

* CharacterNameAlias: In ''[[http://whateleyacademy.net/index.php/9-original-canon/256-destiny-s-wave Destiny's Wave]]'', Alexander Starshine, an typical American male, underwent a GenderBender and turned into a Chinese girl, and picked a name from what is presumably ''ComicBook/LengendaryCouple'' from Creator/ComicsOne when he was asked:

* CherylBlossom: Sums up her relationship with Thunderbird.

* IShallTauntYou: In fights, her taunting is somewhere between SassyBlackWoman and SpiderMan.

* TwoferTokenMinority: She's a black female bisexual formerly-male mutant with hyperactivity issues. Is there any other six-fer on that page?

* ActionGirl: thought she's just getting used to the "girl" part
** ActionGirlfriend: To Molly.
