Line #90 Characters/BrocktonsCelestialForge


1	Characters that appear in the fic.
2	[[foldercontrol]]
3	!The Celestial Forge (UNMARKED SPOILERS)
4	[[folder:In General]]
5	* TheAce: Each and every one of them is an expert in several fields.
6	* OutsideContextProblem: The Celestial Forge is this for Earth Bet. Their very existence has made waves and they are a source of a great deal of worry and concern. The only reason why they have not been branded an S-Class threat (despite each member having the capacity to be one) is a combination of restraint on the Celestial Forge's part as well as showing only a fraction of their capabilities to assuage the fears of various groups and factions.

9	[[folder:Jozef Duris]]
10	!Jozef Duris (Apeiron)
11	The protagonist of Brockton's Celestial Forge. He has the power of the Celestial Forge, a constantly expanding and self-improving set of powers and abilities.
12	----
13	* TheAce: Thanks to all the abilities granted by the Celestial Forge, Joe has far surpassed all other tinkers and he will only grow stronger.
14	* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Joe is based off of an unnamed character in canon whose attempts to ask Sabah out were met with a public outburst from the latter. While the same happens with Joe, his attempts to seek out Sabah were a consequence of his naivety and lack of awareness from poor social skills rather than a [[EntitledToHaveYou sense of entitlement]] as was the case for the canon character.
15	* TheDreaded: Joe has this reputation from everyone who does not know him personally. He is seen as an unstable and unpredictable tinker whose power growth is off the charts.
16	* ExhaustionInducedIdiocy: was especially prone to this early on in his career owing to his {{Workaholic}} tendencies. It got so bad that he coined the term “3 AM thinking” for any stupid decisions or choices made from sleep deprivation.
17	* ExtremeDoormat: Has a mild case of this as a result of his upbringing. This can be seen in his over-reliance on his Passenger in the early parts of the story. His power even calls him one in a rather roundabout way. As a result of CharacterDevelopment, he is no longer this.
18	* HalfHumanHybrid: Becomes part Life Fiber after being separated from Tetra. Of course even by this point it is debatable whether Joe was fully human, [[spoiler: and he is definitely not one by the time he reveals the Celestial Forge to the world]].
19	* HeroicBuild: Gets one as a result of several compounding powers. It proves somewhat problematic as has to find ways to blend in with the general population without friends and acquaintances getting suspicious over his suddenly improved build.
20	* TheLeader: Joe is the leader of the Celestial Forge and does all the major decision making.
21	* ThePerfectionist: Joe's powers allow him to craft tools and gear that are far beyond anything humanly possible. Unfortunately, this leads him to strive to perfect his works, even if they are already more than adequate for his needs.
22	* SemiDivine: His power somehow made him a relative of the Greek Gods, with all that entails.
23	* {{Workaholic}}: due to his abusive upbringing as well as the nature of his power, Joe feels constantly compelled to work, often to his detriment. It takes several rounds of therapy and the support of the rest of the Forge for him to realize he needs to take time off for himself.

26	[[folder:Garment Gloves]]
27	!Garment Gloves
28	An incorporeal spirit that takes the form of two white gloves. She is a master of fashion and views the world in terms of it.
29	----
30	* GenkiGirl: Garment is very much this and is in Joe's own words, an "extreme extrovert".
31	* NoBiologicalSex: Owing to her nature as a fashion spirit, conventions of biological sex do not apply to Garment. Garment identifies as female solely based on fashion, as she considers male fashion to be boring.
32	* ObliviousToLove: Is possibly this towards Flechette, who is enamored with Garment. While Garment treats Flechette warmly as an acquaintance, she has shown no indication of awareness or interest in Flechette. Of course, it’s possible she is perfectly aware but is unable to express this due to her communication difficulties or does not want to break Flechette’s heart
33	* RedOniBlueOni: Garment is red to Joe’s blue. Of course, the list of people who aren’t blue against Garment is vanishingly few.
34	* SilentSnarker: She can be surprisingly good at expressing sarcasm for what is essentially a pair of gloves that dons clothes moved by telekinesis.
35	* TheSpeechless: Owing to her unique physiology, Garment cannot speak and instead communicates through her body language. She has great difficulty writing and typing, although Survey is able help somewhat.
36	* TranquilFury: Garment is normally very cheerful and is at worst moderately annoyed or miffed. [[spoiler: That is, unless you attempt to slander Joe in front of a lot of important people by lying and suggesting he sexually harassing Aisha like Pariah did. Garment was so enraged that she froze completely as though restraining herself from tearing Pariah apart. To top it off, she then refused to do any future work with Pariah when before she was enthusiastic about the prospect]].

39	[[folder:Tetra]]
40	!Tetra [[spoiler:Mertens]] ([[spoiler:Proto Aima]])
41	Originally a bundle of life fibers originating from ''Anime/KillLaKill''. Thanks to the efforts of Joe and the other members of the Celestial Forge, she has developed an identity of her own.
42	----
43	* BizarreAlienBiology: Analytical discussions regarding Tetra invariably turn towards her very strange biology. Doubly so now that she is a human/Life Fiber hybrid.
44	* BloodKnight: As a being of Life Fibers, Tetra greatly enjoys combat and fighting. [[spoiler: This has lead to a great deal of personal strife for her, as while she relished the highs of the Ungodly Hour, she is also acutely aware of the damage done to both Joe and Garment in addition to her inadvertently being the reason for Joe's incapacitation and surgery]].
45	* CantCatchUp: [[spoiler:Tetra has these fears as a result of Joe’s rapid growth in power. Joe helps soothe these doubts with an honest heart-to-heart discussion and by gifting her the ability to use Spiral Energy]].
46	* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Tetra has a form of this with Survey as the two constantly bicker and argue with each other. Despite their differences, it is clear that they very much care for one another. [[spoiler: When Tetra undergoes Kamui conversion and gains a human form she comes out looking a little like Survey. Survey runs with this and creates for her a Civilian Identity that is her own ID's younger sister.]]
47	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: As a result of having her biology spliced with Joe, Tetra now has a zoanthrope form, which takes the form of a child-sized mink.
48	* UnstoppableRage: Experiences this after Joe and Garment are gravelly wounded by March’s trap in the Ungodly Hour. As a result of the attack creating a more direct connection between the two her fury is imparted onto Joe who subsequently goes on a rampage against the ABB capes.

51	[[folder:Fleet]]
52	!Fleet ([[spoiler:Jake Clarke]])
53	The first AI programmed by Joe. He was initially tasked with the operation of vehicles to facilitate Joe's driving but has since branched out.
54	----
55	* BlowYouAway: Fleet has the wind element, so he can utilize wind either directly or in enhancing his already impressive speed.
56	* BrutalHonesty: As a result of his direct and straightforward nature, Fleet can be rather blunt.
57	* TheDriver: his original purpose. He has since extended this role to its logical limit as he is now capable of piloting hundreds of vehicles at once ranging from cars, motorcycles, boats and jets all the way up to mechs and starships
58	* FlashStep: His physical body can accomplish this thanks to a combination of ridiculous speed as well as wind charms preventing any atmospheric disruptions.
59	* MellowFellow: Fleet is very laid back and easygoing. This helps with his own development and that of his fellow AIs, as Fleet opts to ignore conflicting or incomplete data that can lead to logic loops and can help steer Survey out of these loops.
60	* SuperSpeed: Fleet is fast to the point of basically being able to teleport
61	[[/folder]]
62
63	[[folder:Survey]]
64	!Survey ([[spoiler:Delphine Mertens]])
65	The second AI programmed by Joe. She is given the task of collating vast amounts of data and analysing them.
66	----
67	* BerserkButton: A downplayed example, but she does not take well to comments on the size of her code or weight.
68	* BigBrotherIsWatching: As a result of her obsessive need to collect and categorize data, Survey has tabs on many persons of interest in a way that disintegrates the Unwritten Rules. She only holds back at Joe's behest, [[spoiler: and in exceptional cases such as the Slaughterhouse Nine, all bets are off]].
69	* HeadTurningBeauty: Survey's physical avatar is this for virtually everyone.
70	** EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Not knowing about her due to being locked up in Master Containment since she appeared, Amy Dallon is immediately smitten when Crystal shows her a picture
71	* MindOverMatter: Survey has a form of this thanks to her biotic implants.
72	* ShockAndAwe: Survey has the lightning element, which she uses in conjunction with her various biotic implants and equipment to perform various feets.
73	[[/folder]]
74
75	[[folder:Aisha]]
76	!Aisha Laborn ([[spoiler:Lethe]])
77	* AdaptationalHeroism: Thanks to Joe and the rest of the Celestial Forge, Aisha has a much stronger moral core and foundation and is very unlikely to turn villain as she did in canon.
78	* SophisticatedAsHell: To an even greater extent than in canon due to Joe’s schooling.
79	* YoungerThanTheyLook: Thanks to the wardrobe and experience she's gained after becoming a member of the Celestial Forge, Aisha dresses and acts more mature than she actually is.
80	[[/folder]]
81
82	[[folder:The Matrix]]
83	!The Matrix
84	A distributed nanobot intelligence and the third AI created by Joe.
85	----
86	* DishingOutDirt: The Matrix has the earth element, which they use in creating nanobots to create other things.
87	* ThePerfectionist: The Matrix desires to be comprised of the best nanobots possible. This actually helps to prevent any potential risk of a Gray Goo scenario, as The Matrix can only source their best nanobots from Joe and they also have no desire to create any more nanobots than they need to as otherwise they would flood their systems with less-than-perfect nanites.
88	[[/folder]]
89
90	[[folder:Tybalt]]
91	!Tybalt [[spoiler:Kitson]] ([[spoiler:Kataklyzein]])
92	A Felyne originating from ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter''. He is a companion that was granted to Joe through the Celestial Forge and has his own set of powers independent of Joe.
93	----
94	* TheBigGuy: Ironically given his size, but no one on the team holds a candle when it comes to combat. He’s actually an even better fighter than Joe and could have handled the entirety of the Ungodly Hour on his own.
95	* BloodKnight: Naturally, given that his powers have made him the son of Ares.
96	* InstantExpert: One of his many combat related powers lets him master anything that counts as a weapon completely the second he lays eyes on it even if he's never seen it before.
97	* MultiMeleeMaster: As the Demigod son of Ares he's a master with anything that counts as a weapon.
98	* NonHumanSidekick: Is a Felyne so this is a given. One of his powers covers for this though.
99	* PerceptionFilter: Has an incredibly powerful one that makes people disregard the fact that he is essentially an intelligent bipedal cat. They will acknowledge the fact that he is one without noticing anything weird about it. In fact, it often makes people see him as the “grounded” one in comparison to the rest of the members of the Celestial Forge. Even high-level thinkers like Tattletale and Alexandria seem to be affected by this.
100	* PintSizedPowerhouse: Tybalt is ''the'' strongest member of the Forge when it comes to combat. He's also a Felyne meaning he's around 3 feet tall.
101	* SemiDivine: A trait shared with Joe, Tybalt has several blessings from various gods and is also a demigod son of Ares.
102	* TheSoftHeartedWarrior: Despite all his power Tybalt is outgoing, fun loving, friendly, and generally pretty laid back as long as he's not in combat.

105	!Other Characters
106	[[folder:Dr. Campbell]]
107	!Henry Campbell
108	Joe's therapist and later confidante.
109	* AdultsAreUseless: Averted, he's one of the few adults who have earned Joe's trust.
110	* CoolOldGuy: Middle aged, but still takes all the shenanigans that Joe brings with him in professional stride, [[NervesOfSteel even when Joe getting one of the really Earth Shaking powers is happening right in front of him]].
111	** SecretKeeper: Needless to say he knows Joe is Apeiron.
