History YMMV / FactionParadox

* MarySuetopia: Roma I and the associated Known Romes come dangerously close to this. Half of it is DeliberateValuesDissonance on the part of the narrator - slavery is absolutely fine because they're at least not starving, ruthlessness is a necessary part of life, and patriotism comes above all things, so on and so forth. However, the ease with which it crushes the [[AcceptableTargets Nazi worlds]] despite their superior technology (one battle involves putting heavy artillery out of commission with catapults and archers picking off every single enemy sniper), the complete lack of any internal conflict from the thousands of competing 'lesser' Romes despite the civilization's bloody history of self destruction, and the convenient ease with which 20th century 'barbarians' adapt to its alien-yet-clearly-superior morals make it vaguely infuriating to read about. The narrative agrees with its narrator just slightly too much.

* MemeticMutation:
** The Celestis found a way to ''weaponize'' this and {{ascend|ToAHigherPlaneOfExistence}} [[AGodAmI to a sort of pseudo-godhood]]. They're on our hit list.

* RonTheDeathEater - "Hello, I'm the [[http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Seventh_Doctor Evil Renegade]] and this is my brainwashed kidnapping victim, [[http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Chris_Cwej Chris]]!" Doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?

* [[HoYay Les Yay]]: Eliza jokes with Justine about going back in time and [[AdamAndEvePlot starting the human race]] together as "Eve and Eve."

* MagnificentBastard: Plenty to go around. Particularly Godfather Morlock ("You're a ruthless bastard, Morlock! I'd almost ''like'' you, if you weren't such a ''colossal'' ponce.") and Demetra Kein from the audio plays, Godfather Avatar ("Get the ''fuck'' out of my room!" [[DeadpanSnarker "Ah, yes. The fuck. I shall remove it forthwith."]]) from the novel ''Of the City of The Saved''. Really, anyone just possessing a rank in the Faction qualifies for this trope. And, of course, Lolita.

* CompleteMonster:
** Lady Lolita seems like a [[AffablyEvil delightfully snide baddie]] until she [[spoiler:'''[[ItMakesSenseInContext EATS]]''' [[EldritchLocation the Eleven Day Empire]]]].
** Antipathy is an AxCrazy timeship that brings war, despair, torture and decay into the previously peaceful City of the Saved. See NightmareFuel for details.
** On a more mundane level, [[spoiler: Corkle]] from ''Erasing Sherlock'', aside from being in the employ of Jim Moriarty, enjoys viciously messing with the life of the great detective... [[ForTheEvulz because he can]].
** Sutekh. Especially when he [[spoiler: orders millions of slaves to remain kneeling while his Mal'akh slaughter and eat them all]].

* CrazyAwesome: Let's get real. This pretty much describes the entire freaking series when it's not being scary. A subdimensional realm created out of nonexistant time? A massive, galaxy-wide city where every single human to ever live exists somewhere, including fictional characters and visitors from all time and space? [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking The best damn costumes to ever grace a cult?]] FactionParadox has it all. Except for sanity, of course.
