9!! Spirit Guard and co.
10
11[[folder:Spirit Guard in general]]
12The Spirit Guard are a team of superheroes formed to protect Earth from powerful threats. They fight Platicore's monsters to save people from getting their energy drained.
13----
14* AuraVision, SensorCharacter: They can sense auras emanating from living things with their EKP, some of which visually appear to them.
15* BattleAura: Each member has a rather strong aura, but it doesn't really do much unless they're in Spirit Guard form, in which case it shields them from most forms of non-empathokinetic damage.
16* BeautyIsNeverTarnished, DirtForcefield: Inexplicably, their battle form's healing factor attempts to keep them with model-tier looks at all times.
17* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: They transform by holding their Spirit Stick, feeling their namesake emotion, and saying a certain phrase. For example, Angela's is "Foundation of Valor, Spirit Guard power up!"
18* TheChosenMany: They were all selected by Fate to become Champions.
19* EmbarrassingButEmpoweringOutfit, MinidressOfPower: They find the cheerleader-themed costumes rather goofy. It ended up that way since Angela associated cheerleaders with lifting peoples' spirits when she first transformed, and the heroes have had no luck in figuring out how to alter things.
20* TheEmpath: Each member was granted EKP (empathokinetic perception), which lets them sense emotional energies of auras, empathokinetic abilities, and even regular emotions if it's honed enough. They're apparently the only humans to possess this ability.
21** States of EKP, from strongest to weakest: Spirit Guard form, post-transformation, pre-transformation but synced with one's Spirit Stick, birth.
22** Each user's EKP, from strongest to weakest: Rob, Angela, Kara, Vivian, Mallory.
23* HealingFactor: A Spirit Guard passively undoes damage to their body in several ways. It's fueled by the body's own energy, so a Spirit Guard can have a very high-calorie diet. Inexplicably, "damage" includes haircuts, the accumulation of dirt and body hair, and general hygiene.
24** While in Spirit Guard form, wounds are rapidly sealed in order of increasing size. Maintaining the user's appearance is also attempted, which is why a Spirit Guard might not break a sweat even in battle.
25** After transforming, one's civilian form recovers from injury much like a regular human, primarily during sleep, albeit at an accelerated rate.
26** Going in or out of Spirit Guard form reverts much of the body's condition to how it was after powering down for the first time, but larger wounds from battle are sustained.
27** Spirit Guard Charity's healing supplements the healing factor and speeds it up.
28* ImmuneToBullets: In Spirit Guard form, their aura's protection is strong enough to stop bullets. Angela and Mallory found this out when the latter accidentally fried a cop car with her lightning.
29* InASingleBound: In Spirit Guard form, jumping up a story or so is a simple feat.
30* InstantExpert: The Spirit Guard form comes with battle instincts for superhuman movement and powers.
31%%* MagicalGirlWarrior
32* PartTimeHero: They're college students who also happen to be the only people around who can fight the monsters.
33* StubbornHair: After transforming, their hair is forced to a specific length, reverting either after changing forms or sleeping for a night.
34* SummonToHand: In Spirit Guard form, one can mentally summon or dismiss their weapons.
35* SupernaturalSensitivity: Their EKP can sense where powerful empathokinesis is being used.
36* SuperReflexes: In Spirit Guard form. A requirement when battles are at such high speeds.
37* SuperSenses: In Spirit Guard form.
38** InnateNightVision: When the Spirit Guard meet Robert late at night, they forget normal people might have a hard time seeing in the dark.
39* SuperSpeed: In Spirit Guard form, one can outrun cop cars and close the distance from an opponent in an instant.
40* SuperStrength: In Spirit Guard form, one can zoom about with heavy weapons, carry multiple people with one arm, chisel stone by oneself...
41* SuperToughness: The only way survive the destructive attacks being thrown around. Most prominent in Spirit Guard form, but one's normal form is pretty sturdy too thanks to the healing factor.

46 [[caption-width-right:225:[[labelnote: Click here for Spirit Guard Serenity.]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spirit_guard_serenity.png[[/labelnote]] [[labelnote: Click here for Robynne.]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/robynne_darling.png[[/labelnote]]]]
47
48Robert Dreese is an eighteen-year-old freshman at SAU from the small town of Deepwater. A chance encounter with the Spirit Guard sees Robert glow, marking him as the one chosen to become Spirit Guard Serenity. He refuses to join the team at first, as he'd rather remain normal and the transformation would turn him female and upend his life, but he relents in order to save Mallory. With the new name of Robynne Darling, Rob has to now deal with not only monster-fighting, but with the complications her new body brings to her life.
49----
50* AcademicAthlete: Until he quit the team after junior year of high school, Robert was both a skilled football player and among the top students of his class.
51* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: This is Robert's [[HasAType type]], finding the outfit attractive, and his ex-girlfriend was a cheerleader. The irony at getting recruited to the cheerleader-themed Spirit Guard and SAU's cheer team isn't lost on Rob.
52* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Robynne doesn't know what to call herself. Presents as female to those not in on her secret identity.
53* AttractiveBentGender: Robynne is considered one of the hottest girls on campus. She hates it, not liking her new body or the attention it draws.
54* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Prefers to carefully dissect the opponent's capabilities and habits so their weaknesses can be exploited.
55* BadassBookworm, GeniusBruiser: Robert leans toward the latter: a tall, athletic nerd, especially when he was in top shape from playing football. Robynne is the former since she loses the body but gets to fight with superpowers instead.
56* BlitheSpirit: A newcomer to Kessia City that challenges ideas about the Spirit Guard and such that the general populace and even the heroes themselves took for granted.
57* BulliedIntoDepression: The football team's name-calling at the rumors he was gay caused him to no longer enjoy the sport, so he quit the team during junior year of high school.
58* BullyHunter: Implied to have gotten this reputation in high school after beating [[JerkJock Dustin]] in self-defense. He would've gone after [[AlphaBitch Evelyn]] too for bullying his girlfriend, but didn't due to the DoubleStandard against guys hitting girls.
59* BuxomBeautyStandard: Robynne's large breasts are considered one of the primary reasons she gets so much male attention.
60* CasualSportsJersey: Brought his old football jersey to college since it's comfortable.
61* CelibateHero: Robynne tells Lilly she'd rather not deal with the complications of a relationship at college. The real reason is that Spirit Guard business has made her life crazy enough, and dealing with the mess her new body has made of her sexuality only serves to frustrate her.
62* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Rob just can't seem to refrain from helping people in need.
63* CosmicPlaything: After learning Fate is real and has given him a destiny he hates, Rob often wonders if any new contrived hardship is Fate's doing.
64* CrossPlayer: Robert's avatar in ''Aspect Realms'' is female because that's what he'd rather stare at all day. Averted with Robynne, who keeps a female avatar.
65* DCupDistress: Robynne is ''not'' happy that her new body has large breasts, due to both physical discomfort and the attention they draw.
66* DeadpanSnarker: Has no shortage of sarcastic quips for all the ridiculousness he has to deal with.
67* {{Determinator}}: When he makes up his mind about something, he sees it through to the end.
68* DoomMagnet: His tendency to find trouble and lack of self-preservation instinct gets him labeled a "danger magnet" by Mallory, who worries about Cory and Eli's loyalty to him making them risk themselves too.
69* DorkKnight: A smart, upstanding superhero who likes to play video games all day.
70* DualWielding: Serenity fights with a dagger in each hand.
71* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter, LivingLieDetector: Rob got from his uncle a knack for judging people's sincerity, which he calls a "bullshit detector". This is later helped by Rob's strong EKP picking up hidden emotions in others.
72* EyeColourChange: Initially has blue eyes, but they become green after transforming.
73* TheFettered: Was taught by his uncle to always make the decisions that let him look himself in the eye. In practice, this means helping people in need and opposing those who would harm others.
74* FightsLikeANormal: Serenity uses her special attacks sparingly compared to her teammates, preferring her knives.
75* FragileSpeedster: Serenity is the fastest of the Spirit Guard, but her durability is apparently lacking in comparison.
76* FriendOfMaskedSelf: Robynne claims to be an old friend of Robert's, who moved back home at the death of his father.
77* GamerChick: Robynne doesn't lose her passion or skill for gaming, though she gets annoyed at people online treating her differently.
78* GenderBenderAngst: Robynne's new body is a constant source of issues.
79* GodlikeGamer: Noted to be a skilled gamer that can quickly pick up a new game.
80* GuileHero: Likes to use trickery, taunts, and the like in dealing with opponents.
81* HatesBeingTouched: Will usually shiver or squirm away from physical contact.
82* HatesSmallTalk: Not a fan of unplanned conversation.
83* HeadTurningBeauty: Robynne's looks get far more attention than she is comfortable with, with her EKP and paranoia exacerbating her fears of people looking at her.
84* HeightAngst: Robynne finds being [=5'2''=] the most consistently annoying part of her transformation, given she was a foot taller beforehand.
85* HeroicAmbidexterity: Is ambidextrous only in Spirit Guard form, where she dual-wields knives.
86* HeroicWillpower: Has a high resistance to mind-altering effects of certain auras.
87* AnIcePerson: Hasn't displayed any ice-based moves as Serenity, but Rob's Investiture can take the form of ice to keep a monster from draining it.
88* IJustWantToBeNormal: Would rather be an ordinary college student than a superhero.
89* IKnowMortalKombat: Rob's gaming experience actually helps in monster fights. Beyond applying tactics effective in video games (scoping out enemy capabilities, quick risk assessment, etc.), Serenity's dual knives and stealth abilities happen to mirror Rob's avatar in ''Aspect Realms''.
90* InSeriesNickname: "Rob" is the most prominent one, mainly used by Cory and Eli.
91** AffectionateNickname: "Ace" is used by Mallory in reference to Rob dramatically rescuing her from [=Day LaMode=]. Vivian uses "Rosy" or "Red" in reference to Rob's hair.
92** EmbarrassingNickname: Isn't fond of the "Rosy" nickname given by Vivian, [[FriendlyAddressPrivileges especially if used by somebody else]].
93* {{Invisibility}}: Serenity's Placid Mist move turns her (and those next to her, if desired) invisible.
94** InvisibilityWithDrawbacks: The veil has a top speed, so moving faster than a superhuman jog uncloaks her until the mist can catch up. Attacking cancels the move entirely.
95* TheLancer: Shares traits of this with Mallory. While Mal is [[TheLeader Angela]]'s closest friend and a {{foil}} to her, Rob contrasts with her even more, with Angela consciously wanting Rob in this role due to their past lives having this bond.
96* LockedIntoStrangeness: Initially has reddish-brown hair, but it becomes blood red after transforming.
97* LossOfIdentity: The routine of being Robynne does a number on Rob's sense of self, and she is unable to recognize what she's become.
98* MagicHair: Serenity's hair is empathokinetically charged, causing it to constantly flow and cover one of her eyes.
99* MakingASplash: Serenity's special moves are water-based.
100* MeaningfulRename: After transforming, it wouldn't be safe to remain Robert Dreese, so the name Robynne Ellis Darling is chosen.
101** SobriquetSexSwitch: Robert was named after his grandmother already, so takes up her name of Robynne. It's close enough to her original name to not bother her too much, and allows her to still be Rob for short.
102** EmbarrassingFirstName, MyNaymeIs: Robynne finds the spelling of her name overly feminine. She had forgotten how her grandmother spelled it when she agreed to take up her name.
103** EmbarrassingLastName, NomDeMom: Robynne thinks her last name of Darling is cartoonish given her appearance. She'd believed it wouldn't be too bad when she chose to adopt her mother's maiden name, given she didn't have other options if she wanted her surname to remain in her family.
104* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: While Robynne remains a heterosexual male in her mind, her new body instead shows attraction for men. This frustrates her as she catches herself eyeing guys while not feeling anything at girls she definitely had attraction for before.
105* MuscleAngst: Robynne hates feeling weak without her original body's musculature.
106* NaiveNewcomer: As a newcomer to Kessia City, Rob was unaware of the monsters and Spirit Guard's existence.
107* {{Nephewism}}: Was adopted by his Uncle Taylor at three years old after his parents died in a car accident.
108** HappilyAdopted: Rob had a good upbringing, and loves his uncle more than anyone.
109* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Doesn't care about destiny, past life business, or any of that. Rob becomes a Spirit Guard only when not doing so would result Mallory's death, as he could never live with the weight of allowing someone to die.
110* OnlineAlias: Uses several for different purposes.
111** "Bluster" is Rob's first handle. Gets phased out later on so people online don't associate Robynne with Robert, but she does use it as the addressee to receive the computer she extorts from Cammy.
112** Starts using "Waveform" after transforming, which becomes her main form of address to SFEERS members.
113** "Isocruciatic" is an alternate ''Aspect Realms'' avatar Rob uses when guiding Angela through the game.
114* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Mallory's red. Rob is introverted and reserved, while Mallory is more extroverted and impulsive. Their Spirit Guard costumes are even the appropriate colors.
115* RookieRedRanger: Is the main protagonist and joins the Spirit Guard after they've been active for over a year. Though Serenity is hardly a rookie in terms of competence, she is one in terms of teamwork.
116* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Even though strange hair colors are the norm in Kessia City, Robynne's blood red "scarlette" hair and green eyes is considered a striking combination.
117* SlipknotPonytail: Robynne's ponytail comes undone when she transforms into Serenity. It comes back upon powering down.
118* TheSmartGuy: Shares traits of this with Vivian. They share an analytic eye for Spirit Guard business.
119* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Robynne is extremely hot, which is a problem since she hates her new body and how it affects the way others treat her.
120* SpiritedCompetitor: Rob is competitive and likes to challenge himself, which is the main reason he played football and enjoys ''Aspect Realms'' [=PvP=]. Rob finds that in a weird way, being a Spirit Guard fills a void left by football in that she can physically push herself.
121* StepfordSnarker: Robynne complains a lot about the problems her transformation makes for her, but can't bring herself to tell her friends about how close she comes to breaking and the deeper identity issues brought on by the whole thing.
122* TheStoic: Has tight control over his emotions due to feeling they'd get in the way of decision-making, which is appropriate given his empathokinetic powers are in the tranquility branch.
123* SuperGenderBender: Due to the Spirit Guard transformation changing one's body to reflect their Ardentia predecessor, becoming Spirit Guard Serenity forces Rob into a female body.
124* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Robynne is the tomboy to Stacy's girly girl. Stacy freaks out whenever Rob shows interest in anything even slightly feminine.
125* TomboyishPonytail: Robynne keeps her hair in a ponytail to keep it out of the way since cutting it won't work.
126* TranquilFury: His usual form of anger. It's even used to fuel his first transformation into Sprit Guard Serenity, and for Serenity's empathokinetic attacks.
127* {{Unperson}}: After Rob transforms, all digital records of Robert's existence is removed or replaced with those referring to Robynne instead. Appropriate physical documents are created as well.
128* UpbringingMakesTheHero: Credits his upstanding character to Uncle Taylor raising him right.
129* WaifFu: Serenity is only [=5'2''=], but it doesn't impact her combat effectivenss thanks to her super strength, speed, and a generous amount of acrobatics.
130* WeirdnessMagnet: It seems like ever since arriving at Kessia City, nothing is ''ever'' normal with Rob's life. Rob is all too aware of this.

152* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Carries a shield alongside her sword.

164* AllAmazonsWantHercules: A Q&A revealed that she prefers athletes who are taller than her.
165* AmazonianBeauty: Six feet tall, muscular, and considered very attractive.
166* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: Threatening harm to Eli is a good way to earn Mallory's wrath. She's also protective of her friends in general.
167* TheBigGuy: The biggest, toughest Spirit Guard.
168* {{BFS}}: Tenacity's sword is nearly as long as she is tall, and it's wide enough to act as a makeshift shield from projectiles.
169* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: She doesn't like how rash she can be, and considers Eli to be more responsible than herself.
170* HairTriggerTemper: She has a bit of a short fuse, but isn't proud of it.
171* HeightAngst: Downplayed example. She doesn't mind being six feet tall, but her preference for men taller than her limits her dating pool.
172* KickChick: A black belt in Taekwondo. It's seldom used in monster fighting since she has her sword.
173* TheLancer: Shares some traits of this with Rob. Mal is best friend and foil to Angela, but Rob is an even greater foil.
174* LegFocus: Robert catches himself staring at her long, toned legs when he first meets her.

217* ActionGirlfriend: Eventually starts dating Eli.
218* BarrierWarrior: Can create shields of varying sizes for either her or her allies.

223* HardLight: Her barriers are made of light.
224* HealingHands: Giving Hands lets her transfer her energy to another.

235[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cory_frost.png]]
236
237A freshman at SAU and best friend of Eli and Rob.
238----
239* ChivalrousPervert: He'll make some perverted comments, but makes a point of treating women with respect.
240* DeadpanSnarker: Has a witty remark for seemingly everything. When he does it while in danger, he says it's a coping mechanism.
241%%* DramaQueen
242* TheGadfly: Gets a kick out of annoying his friends.
243* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Eli. Rob is the first person able to become part of their impenetrable bond.

247
248[[folder:Elijah Drake (Eli)]]
249[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eli_drake.png]]
250
251A freshman at SAU and best friend of Cory and Rob.
252----
253* AppearanceAngst: Feels his looks are unremarkable. When Sanvi passes over him in favor of Dale when trying to determine who Robynne trusted with the computer part delivery, Eli considers that maybe looking ordinary is a boon if it keeps him under the radar of the cheer mafia.
254** HeightAngst: He doesn't like being only [=5'5''=], especially since he could've been tall like his six-foot sister.
255* BadLiar: Has a hard time hiding his true feelings or coming up with a good lie, so he tends to follow Cory's lead.
256* BigBrotherInstinct: Or Little Brother Instinct, as the case may be. Lacking superpowers doesn't stop him from trying to run to the wounded Mallory's aid while [=Day LaMode=] is ready to kill her. Rob has to hold him back.
257* TheChosenWannabe: Eli doesn't exactly ''want'' to be a Spirit Guard, but considers it unfair that it fell to Rob instead of him to sacrifice so much in order to save Mallory.
258* DoNotCallMePaul: He'd prefer not to be called Elijah by anyone besides his family. Cory will sometimes do it to annoy him, and Angela and Noriko do it just because they default to more polite forms of address.
259%%* EndearinglyDorky
260* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: He is said to be more responsible than Mallory, who sometimes acts recklessly.
261* GuiltComplex: It's in his nature to feel guilty over things, even if they're not really his fault.
262* HasAType: Prefers girls with blue hair.
263* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Cory. Rob is the first person able to become part of their impenetrable bond.
264%%* MuggleBestFriend: To Rob.
265* ShrinkingViolet: Would like to have a cooler image, but his shyness impedes him.
266* SiblingYinYang: Eli is shy and nerdy, while Mallory is impulsive and athletic.
267* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Straight man to Cory's wise guy, though Eli has quips of his own.

270[[folder:Kunapipi (Ms. Kuna)]]
271[[quoteright:319:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kunapipi.png]]
272 [[caption-width-right:319:Kunapipi's wallaby form.]]
273
274A Guide that has aided Fate's chosen Champions on Earth for thousands of years. She's supposed to be a mentor figure to the Spirit Guard, but Fate grants her even vaguer info than usual, so Kunapipi is more like a manager than anything else. Her natural form is that of a wallaby, but she can also take on a human appearance, and does so for her cover job as a school counselor at SAU, where she goes by Ms. Kuna.
275----
276* BeingHumanSucks: Finds a human body uncomfortable.
277* DoNotCallMeSir: Prefers Kunapipi over Ms. Kuna, but since the former name is hidden to the world at large, this is more like FriendlyAddressPrivileges in practice.
278* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Took up a human form as people became less accepting of a talking wallaby.
279* MentorMascot: A talking wallaby created to assist Earth's heroes.
280* MorphicResonance: Her wallaby form's fur and human form's hair are both a rust-like burgundy color.
281* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Appears as either an ordinary wallaby or a human in her twenties or thirties, but she's been working as Guide for Earth's heroes for thousands of years.
282* RealNameAsAnAlias: Her human form's surname is just the first part of her real name.
283* TalkingAnimal: A wallaby that can speak human language, which is unnerving to watch.
284* TheTeamBenefactor: Arranges things so Spirit Guard business doesn't interfere with the heroes' college life too much. She'll also lend her credit card in a pinch, like when Robynne's new body required a replacement wardrobe.
285* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Can freely switch between a wallaby and human form.

505* AGodIAmNot: While Fate is often referred to as a god, Kunapipi says that's not quite the case.
506* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Fate's motivations beyond maintaining some vague cosmic order are unknown even to her agents. Considering she is far-seeing yet doesn't seem to care what befalls innocent people caught up in her plans, Fate doesn't appear to operate on any sense of good and evil.
