History Characters / YuGiOhEndymion

[-'''Other:''' [[Characters/YuGiOhRecurringMonsters Recurring Generic Monsters]]-]\\

%%* AnAxeToGrind: Strength.

* NoodleIncident: It's unclear what was the event that led Verre to leave the Witchcrafter guild and put Haine in charge.

* ContinuityNod: Crowley, the First Propheseer is an older version of Aleister the Invoker belonging to the Prophecy archetype, connecting the Prophecy and Invoked archetypes together.

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: During his experiments with invocations, he merged himself with a spirit he invoked. This supercharged him with magical powers but also drove him mad, and mutated him into Invoked Caliga. The artwork of Alpha Summon shows Crowley getting corrupted by the invocations while Rilliona and Endmyion look on helplessly.

* GreatOffscreenWar: A war between the Prophecy archetype and Endymion archetype over conflicting views on how magic should be controlled is only ever mentioned in lore books and not explicitly spelled outright in card illustrations.

* IdiotHair: Contrasting her name meaning Genius in French, Genni has an ahoge sticking out of her hair. Although she may be a genius in crafting, her eccentric personality as seen in the artworks of Witchcrafter Unveiling and Witchcrafter Confusion means she has her moments of stupidity.

* NumberTwo: Once Verre abruptly left the Guild and appointed Haine as the interim Guild Master, Genni ended up becoming Haine's right hand. This can even be seen in the art for [[TookALevelInBadass Witchcrafter Vice-Master]], as while Haine ''looks'' more imposing and serious, she's ''still'' [[ProneToTears Haine]] deep down, her left hand trembling and Genni having to hold it to keep her calm.

* LargeAndInCharge: As "Vice-Master", with her being shown towering over both Genni and Edel. Her design sheet mentions her height ranging from 170-180 cm.
* ProneToTears: According to her concept artwork, Haine is the type who cries a lot. This is best seen in the artwork for Witchcrafter Confusion.
* TookALevelInBadass: "Vice-Master" depicts "Haine" finally taking charge of the Witchcrafter guild, and accordingly features a suite of versatile effects in addition to "Haine"'s original destruction effect. Her hand can still be seen shaking on the artwork, though.

* CallBack: Emperor has more than a passing resemblance to Jack Atlus from the Yu-Gi-Oh 5DS anime. Both this card and "Empress of Prophecy" appear to possess items that feature parts resembling the Emperor's Key from the Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal anime. This could be because they represent The Empress and The Emperor of the Major Arcana cards.

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: During his experiments with invocations, he merged himself with a spirit he invoked. This supercharged him with magical powers but also drove him mad, and mutated him into Invoked Caliga. The artwork of Alpha Summon shows Crowley getting corrupted by the invocations while Verre and Endmyion look on helplessly.

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: During his experiments with invocations, he merged himself with a spirit he invoked. This supercharged him with magical powers but also drove him mad, and mutated him into Invoked Caliga.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To several old-school monsters, most notably ones used by Yugi Muto. High Priestess, Hierophant, Empress, World and Destroyer have similar stats and levels to Dark Magician, Dark Magician of Chaos, Dark Magician Girl, Dark Paladin and Summoned Skull respectively, with the deck itself being able to make use of Silent Magician quite effectively, to the point of seeing meta relevancy in Duel Links.

* FairyTaleMotifs: Rilliona's patron goddess, Ninaruru, could possibly be her fairy godmother, and the Wondrous Magistus Witch Wardrobe is the ballroom dress and glass slippers given to her by the Fairy Godmother.

* BlindingBangs: Haine's hair covers only one of her eyes, indicating her nervousness around people. The only time you see both eyes is in the artwork of Witchcrafter Draping, where she is casting a powerful clothing spell.

* PowerNullifier: "Verre" can discard a Spell from your hand to negate all of the opponent's monsters effects.

[[folder:Rilliona (Verre)]]

* FairyTaleMotifs: Rilliona is based on Cinderella, based on her OCG name Cendrillion. Like Cinderella's glass slippers, glass is a huge motif in Rilliona's spellcasting.

The '''[[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Prophecy Prophecy]]''' cards, called '''Magical''' (魔導 ''Madō'') in the OCG, are an archetype of Spellcasters based on Tarot cards. They support and are supported by the [[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Spellbook Spellbooks]], a series of Spell cards based on famous and legendary books. Prophecy cards search out Spellbooks to be used and higher-level Prophecy monsters to use them on, as Spellbooks have versatile effects to allow flexibility in many situations while Prophecy monsters allow special summons of their stronger members.

"Magical" in the ''OCG'' is a series of Spellcaster monsters with a shared effect of generating and using Spell Counters, removing them as costs to trigger their effects. The series is separated in two sub-series; the "Prophecy"[[note]]Only in the TCG[[/note]] series, which is affiliated with "La Maison" ([=AKA=] " The Grand Spellbook Tower") (see "Prophecy" folder above), and the Endymion-subordinated monsters - which are in war with the first. This folder centers on the latter group.\\\

"Magical" in the ''OCG'' is a series of Spellcaster monsters with a shared effect of generating and using Spell Counters, removing them as costs to trigger their effects. \\\

Thanks to inconsistent translation issues in the ''TCG'', many of these monsters were instead translated with the "Prophecy" name. However, because support for the series specifies level 3 Main Deck Spellcaster monsters, this isn't an issue. \\\

Thanks to their name and Spell Counter focus, some Spellcasters that support other archetypes (namely, Dark Magician and Silent Magician) are part of the series. However, these won't be covered here.

* TookALevelInBadass: "Vicemaster" depicts "Haine" finally taking charge of the Witchcrafter guild, and accordingly features a suite of versatile effects in addition to "Haine"'s original destruction effect. Her hand can still be seen shaking on the artwork, though.

* {{Golem}}: Aruru's title is Golem. She was made in the artwork of Witchcrafter Masterpiece.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Aruru has all six girls' crafts on her body and/or weapons.

* ContinuityCavalcade: Each of the Main Deck monsters is related to a monster from the Endymion, Invoked, or Witchcrafter archetypes, though with the exception of Endymion, none of them are actually members of the archetypes their respective counterparts belong to. Nonetheless, each of them has an effect that references their latter archetype's playstyle.
** Crowley is a younger version of Aleister the Invoker, and has an effect that changes his Attribute to one declared by the controller for the rest of the turn, referencing the multi-attribute focus of the Invoked archetype.
** Rilliona is a younger version of Witchcrafter Madame Verre. She can recycle one of the user's low-level banished Spellcasters from the banish zone back to the GY, referencing (and synergizing with) the low-leveled Witchcrafters' self-banish effects.
** Endymion is a younger version of Endymion, the Master Magician, and has an effect that allows the controller to destroy a Spell Card they control, then draw and return one card, referencing the tendency to destroy and cycle through the user's Pendulum and Spell cards of the Magical Beast and Endymion archetypes.

* TookALevelInBadass: "Vicemaster" depicts "Haine" finally taking charge of the Witchcrafter guild, and accordingly features a suite of versatile effects in addition to "Haine"'s original destruction effect. Her hand can still be seen shaking on the artwork, tho.

* FairyTaleMotifs: Rilliona is based on Cinderella, based on her OCG name Cendrillion. Like Cinderella's glass slippers, glass is a huge motif in Rilliona's spellcasting. Rilliona's patron goddess, Ninaruru, could possibly be her fairy godmother, and the the Wondrous Magistus Witch Wardrobe is the ballroom dress and glass slippers given to her by the Fairy Godmother.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Aruru has all six girls' crafts on her body and/or weapons.

* {{Golem}}:
** Potterie's artwork shows a few of them as she created them with a combination of her magic and clay.
** Aruru, their boss monster's title is Golem. She was made in the artwork of Witchcrafter Masterpiece.
* IdiotHair: Contrasting her name meaning Genius in French, Genni has an ahoge sticking out of her hair. Although she may be a genius in crafting, her eccentric personality as seen in the artworks of Witchcrafter Unveiling and Witchcrafter Confusion means she has her moments of stupidity.

* NoodleIncident:
** It's unclear what prompted Genni to stop being the Servant of Endymion and join the Witchcrafter Guild.
** It's also unclear what was the event that led "Verre" to leave the Witchcrafter guild and put Haine in charge.

* ProneToTears: According to her concept artwork, Haine is the type who cries a lot. This is best seen in the artwork for Witchcrafter Confusion.

* {{Stripperific}}: Golem Aruru appears to be wearing a revealing leotard, yet it is not censored even the slightest.

* TookALevelInBadass: "Vicemaster" depicts "Haine" finally taking charge of the Witchcrafter guild, and accordingly features a suite of versatile effects in addition to "Haine"'s original destruction effect. Her hand can still be seen shaking on the artwork, tho.

* AmbiguousSituation: While Aleister and Endymion are clearly younger versions of themselves from before their respective archetypes, it's unclear at the moment whether Rilliona is the same Verre who now runs the Witchcrafter Guild or simply a relative of hers.

[[caption-width-right:300:[[labelnote:Artemis, the Magistus Moon Maiden]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/artemis20the20magistus20moon20maiden.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]

* {{Lunacy}}: As a moon goddess, Selene has access to powerful moonlight magic. As a companion of Endymion, she uses her moon magic to fuel her Spell Counters.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: Judging by her Queen of the Master Magicians title, Selene fell in love with Endymion, who is a human mortal with impressive magic powers, and married.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: She is named after Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon. Her young form, Artemis, is named after a different Greek Moon goddess Selene is often identified with.

* SixthRanger: Each of the Main Deck monsters is related to a monster from the Endymion, Invoked, or Witchcrafter archetypes, though with the exception of Endymion, none of them are actually members of the archetypes their respective counterparts belong to. Nonetheless, each of them has an effect that is beneficial to those other archetypes, allowing them to be easily splashed into decks of those archetypes.
** Crowley is a younger version of Aleister the Invoker, and has an effect that changes his Attribute to one declared by the controller for the rest of the turn. This is beneficial to the Invoked archetype, as it is comprised of Fusion Monsters, most of whom require differently Attributed monsters as Fusion Materials, allowing Crowley to serve as a valid Fusion Material for them.
** Rilliona is a younger version of Witchcrafter Madame Verre. Upon being Normal or Special Summoned, she can return one of the controller's banished Level 4 or lower Spellcaster monsters to the Graveyard. This is useful for the Magistus archetype, as both Crowley and Rilliona herself are Level 4 Spellcaster monsters that banish themselves as a cost to equip the archetype's Extra Deck monsters from the Graveyard to a target monster. However, it also has utility in a Witchcrafter deck, as all of that archetype's Level 4 or lower Spellcaster monsters banish themselves from the Graveyard as a cost to use their effects.
** Endymion is a younger version of Endymion, the Master Magician, and has an effect that allows the controller to destroy a Spell Card they control, then draw a card and return a card from their hand to the bottom of the Deck. As several Endymion monsters are Pendulum Monsters, it can also be used in an Endymion deck to destroy them while they are Pendulum Scales, freeing up the Pendulum Zones for other cards.
** Zoroa is a more weird, almost ''inverted'' example in that he's the only member of the archetype in the Main Deck who hadn't previously shown up as a member of another archetype, and is primarily designed to work with the archetype without anything in specific outside of it in mind.
