History Determinator / Fanfiction

[[AC: ''TheSlenderManMythos'']]

* In DragonAgeTheCrownOfThorns, the WisePrince protagonist keeps on going and [[spoiler: [[ThePlan pulling one plan after another]], even though the fact he grew up in a DeadlyDecadentCourt could have long ago turned him into a self-centered cynic. He also displayed a high physical resilience in the deep roads, up until he stumbled upon a certain someone else and finally decided to ''allow'' himself to faint after two days of no sleep, fighting, getting repeatedly injured, tried for fratricide that never happened, dragged through streets in chains, spat on and generally not having a very nice time]].

[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirBender'']]

* In the ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''/''Film/{{Beetlejuice}}'' {{crossover}}, ''FanFic/SayItThrice'', Betelgeuse certainly qualifies. After fighting against the power of an AmplifierArtifact with his own the entire time that [[spoiler:[[OriginalCharacter Aunt Melinda]] ]] tries to first [[DeaderThanDead exorcise him]] and then bind him to her will, he gets banished back to the Netherworld. The minute he wakes up, he heads into the [[AlternateDimension Ghost Zone]] to find another way to reach Lydia. He finds the [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom portal]] and tries to use it to get out, only to find out [[MagicAIsMagicA it won't work for him]] [[spoiler:without ripping himself apart in the process]]. And he ''still'' only sees this as a delay and intends to figure out another loophole. And when Lydia ends up in danger from [[OriginalCharacter Sandu]][[JackTheRipper leak]], [[spoiler:Betelgeuse [[HeroicRROD goes through the portal anyway]].]]

* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': Rei. Asuka compares her with a ''Film/{{Terminator}}'' because she never stops. Her finest showing in the battle against Zeruel is actually an example of her CharacterDevelopment, where she fights her hardest to defend her friends rather than lack of regard for her own life, never gives up and [[spoiler:thanks to her resolute attitude she manages killing it in spite of horrible odds.]]

** Dark World!Derpy. To put this in perspective, she endured ''1000 years'' of living Hell so Discord would remove the curse from Dinky. She marched around Discord's palace, assaulted constantly by crows trying to eat Dinky, and according to [[spoiler:Dinky herself]], she ''never let them touch her''. And she did this with ''crippled wings and legs''. Is it any wonder at all she becomes an [[SixthRanger Element of Loyalty]]? After she's healed by the redeemed six [[spoiler:and Dinky is restored]], this determination extends to protecting her new friends.

* In the ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'', the Mane Cast [[spoiler:and their SixthRanger Trixie]] stop at nothing to [[spoiler:defeat Nightmare Whisper, Fluttershy's SuperpoweredEvilSide, and save her from herself. By the end of the battle, Pinkie Pie and Applejack are severely cut up by glass (Pinkie Pie from being throw out of a glass window and Applejack from having glass daggers ''embedded in her back''), Twilight and Rainbow Dash have both been sent dangerously close to the DespairEventHorizon, and Trixie has been electrocuted and broken one or more ribs. But the one who takes the cake is Rarity, who has her legs broken and keeps herself in the fight by ''moving her legs with telekinesis''!]] And ''then'' [[spoiler:Fluttercruel [[LikeABadassOutOfHell fights her way out of]] a JuryOfTheDamned, getting pretty much mauled by demonic creatures, to get back to help save Fluttershy. She then proceeds to tear the tubes connecting her to Nightmare Whisper out '''by hand'', despite the agonizing pain it causes.]]

* Ga'ri in the early parts of ''FanFic/BigSister'', still trying to recover from [[spoiler: the Gadget Drone incident mentioned in ''[[NanohaStrikerS StrikerS]]'']] carries a baby across a volcanic DeathWorld with what little power she has left, crippling herself ''again'' in the process, then manages to fight off a lethal infection ''and'' regain use of both her legs and her magic, this time ''without'' the help of high-{{Magitek}} rehabilitation facilities.

[[AC: ''Franchise/Pokemon'']]

* In the ''{{Firefly}}'' fic ''Fanfic/{{Forward}}'', Mal shows his canon tendencies, but on top of that there's Book, who pulls a YouShallNotPass when [[spoiler: defending River from Reavers]]. As the story progresses, River herself becomes one as well, up to the "Fourth Interlude" chapter, where little things like [[spoiler: a bunch of cracked ribs]] or [[spoiler: having a leg broken, getting shot in the stomach, and getting a concussion from a ricocheting bullet]] don't stop her from kicking ass.

* ''FanFic/{{Shinji and Warhammer 40K}}'': Shinji, especially when he's in ''Principio Eternus'', but possibly even more so, Rei.
