* TheLeader: Zachary Higgins is the leader of the STARBORD group, often manning the ship himself.
* ParentalAbandonment: From a very early age, Zachary's father had been missing from his life, the only thing in his life relating directly back to his father being the ship he pilots, the STARBORD.

* KungFuKid: Kherrack is trained in martial arts in accordance with the alien people he hails from.

[[TheChosenMany Or so she is led to believe.]]
* HenshinHero: Penny has a superpowered form inherent to her bloodline that she can trigger at will.
* PrehensileHair: One of Penny's abilities is to stretch out the length of her hair and use it as a weapon. It can also [[ShockAndAwe conduct electricity.]]
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Penny's primary method of attack, and probably the closest hint you're ever going to get that her powers were inspired by Jojo's Star Platinum.
->''"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!"''

* SociallyAwkwardHero: Penny barely has any friends outside of the STARBORD crew, and often falls behind when it comes to social interactions with others.
* SuperPoweredEvilSide: Aside from her normal superpowered form, Penny also has a more bestial form in which an animalistic, ravenous persona takes over.
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: Generally more faithful to the trope than Zach, considering that they live quite a few states away and she doesn't have a trans-dimensional spaceship at the ready, evil usually has to come her way.

[[folder:Aldruidt]]
* EldritchAbomination: This.
* DestroyerDeity: According to ancient texts, Aldruidt is destined to make his return and destroy everything.
* SealedEvilInACan: Aldruidt had to be sealed away in [[TailorMadePrison a dimension made just to contain him,]] since he was one of the more powerful of the pantheon of gods, however the seal gets weaker and weaker with every passing eon.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Aldruidt's goal is to destroy the omniverse, however by doing this he means to end the cycle of war and destruction that he believes the omniverse is stuck in.

[[folder:Arya Stark/Mathael]]
* BioAugmentation: Malthael begins to genetically modify Arya's internal anatomy to resemble an Angel's the longer he's inside Arya's body, simply by his presence alone. An example of this is that her body no longer contains a single drop of blood. When she's injured in any way, the skin around the wound disintegrates into metallic dust and heavenly light seeps through the open wound.
* MindRape: Often a tactic employed by Arya Stark upon her victims. [[TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry And Sansa Stark upon Arya.]]
* WillingChanneler: [[Series/GameOfThrones Arya Stark]] willingly allows the Angel [[VideoGame/DiabloIII Malthael]] of the ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'' franchise to possess her body in order to take revenge for the apparent death of [[Series/GameofThrones Jon Snow]] at the hands of [[Film/XMenFilmSeries Dark Phoenix.]]

[[folder:Sansa Stark/Dark Phoenix]]
* ManySpiritsInsideOfOne: Sansa Stark had long struggled with the Phoenix Force within her. Adding her [[RapeIsaSpecialKindOfEvil deceased serial rapist/torturer]] husband Ramsay Bolton's soul into her psyche allowed this altered variant of the Force a more "mentally-appropriate" mind to bond with, [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity causing horrific results.]]
* FallenHero: In the mythos of WUC, the Phoenix represents the spirit of the First Valkyr, originally responsible for imprisoning Aldruidt eons ago in order to protect the living creatures of the omniverse. However, through time, her opinion on mortals soured as soon as she saw their bad side, and thus is no longer willing to serve as their hero.

''When Universes Collide'' (also known as Aetherverse) is a roleplay server hosted on Discord that has been running since 2018. However, it traces its roots back to a line of roleplay servers on Google+ named Fandom Wars. It has had multiple exchanges of ownership but is now currently operated by two individuals who are officially known as portalguy and Darth.
The basis of ''When Universes Collide'' is the concept of a [[MegaCrossover grand multiversal collision]] that merges all possible universes, whether they host various [[Series/GameOfThrones television media,]] [[Literature/LordOfTheRings literature,]] [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance video games,]] [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders alternative media,]] or even just your own creations, together into one massive conglomeration - but with these universes come the rise of their respective villains lusting for power thanks to the whole new universes ripe for conquest. However, [[NightAndDayDuo accompanying these villains come heroes of all shapes and sizes,]] and adventures beyond even the wildest of imaginations.

[[folder:General]]
* AbortedArc: Has happened many times in WUC thanks to the inconsistent schedule of members running story arcs:
** There was a plan to reenact Part 5 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. So far, nothing has come of it.
** Once, there was a fighting tournament event called the Contest of Champions. It never concluded.
** There was a Civil War arc planned similar to that of the Marvel Comics story arc, prompted with the passing of the Superhero Registration Act, but it was quickly shot down by other politician characters and the story was cancelled.
** Season 6 has faced cancellation several times.
* CoolStarship: Applies to a lot of space-bound vehicles featured in WUC.
** The STARBORD is a compact little spaceship created by Zach's father, outfitted with retro-grade plasma cannons and a mounted plasma minigun, as well as a specially-crafted transdimensional engine known as the Superdrive.
* CompositeCharacter: Applies to many characters featured in WUC:
** Arya Stark becomes the vessel of Mathael from Diablo III, dubbing herself the "Night Queen".
** Meanwhile on the OPPOSITE end, Sansa Stark becomes the vessel for the Phoenix Force and eventually [[GrandTheftMe becomes possessed by Ramsay Bolton.]]
** WUC's version of Spider-Man combines his appearance on the Raimi films with his Iron Spider suit from the MCU version.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Many characters in WUC use themes from other medias as leitmotifs.
** Penny's theme is lifted from ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'', specifically [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFjE5A4UAJI Jotaro's theme,]] as her main ability is based off Star Platinum.
** While some original characters use themes from different medias, canon characters will often be matched with their own musical leitmotifs, mostly villains such as Sephiroth and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rV40ypje7o his theme,]] or [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders DIO]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Qq1B5na--s his.]]

[[folder:Season 6 arc]]
The Season 6 story arc of WUC was originally intended to be the [[GrandFinale canonical ending to WUC,]] and as such was written with higher stakes for the WUC merged universe in mind.
The evil swordsman Sephiroth is set to unleash the ancient evil deity Aldruidt unto the merged universe to destroy everything, and it is up to Penelope Bartlett, a girl blessed with the powers of an ancient line of space warriors, to stop him.
* AdaptationalBadass: In the original ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', Sephiroth was already pretty imposing, responsible for the infamous Nibelheim Incident. However, in WUC, where he manages to get to Earth after mysteriously disappearing after the Incident, Sephiroth repeats his destructive ways at least four more times in mounting fashion, including feats never seen before in his original incarnation:
** He burns down a hamlet in the Bavarian Alps.
** He burns down Port Royal in the Caribbean.
** he infiltrates a heavy containment SCP facility, slaughters its staffing as well as SCP-096 and then proceeds to blow up the facility itself.
** He slaughters the College of Cardinals inside the St. Peters Basilica and unleashes [[Characters/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Ghirahim]] from his [[SealedEvilInACan ancient imprisonment inside of a sword.]]
* TheQuest: Follows this trope pretty faithfully.
* VillainTeamUp: Sephiroth is not alone. He is able to convince a group of some of the most dangerous villains in the multiverse to aid him in his quest to release Aldruidt:
** Dagoth Ur from Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.
** Kylo Ren from The Force Awakens.
** The Cyberiad from Doctor Who, and its army of Cybermen.
** Ghirahim from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
** Hisoka Morow from Hunter x Hunter.
** Lord Dominator from Wander over Yonder.
** Sundowner and the Winds of Destruction from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
** And last, but not least: DIO from Part 3 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
