4	Just like [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the show]] this fanfic is loosely based on, ''[[Fanfic/MyBravePonyStarfleetMagic Starfleet Magic]]'' has numerous characters. Among these are...

8	[[index]]
9	* [[Characters/MyBravePonyStarfleetMagicSpacePonies Space Ponies]]
10	* [[Characters/MyBravePonyStarfleetMagicEquestrians Equestrians]]

15	!In General
16	[[folder:In General]]
17	What generally applies to these characters.
18	----
19	* FlatCharacter: Most (if not all) characters have little depth to their personalities.
20	* ForgotAboutHisPowers: The characters frequently seem to forget about their abilities, such as:
21	** Krysta not using her portals to get the heroes away from danger or to capture the villains.
22	** Celestia not using her magic to catch the thieves in Raven's backstory.
23	** Raven not using telekinesis to lift the carriage off of her husband.
24	** Lightning not simply letting his "extremely tough body" take harmless hits from Principal Celestia.
25	** Rainbow not continuing to fly after catching Stammadon's box.
26	** A more jarring example is the Space Ponies never using their SuperSpeed (which Mykan himself has claimed would allow them to ''circle the globe in seconds by walking'') when the situation is dire. Such as:
27	*** Saving Twilight from Raven.
28	*** Saving Cadance before a pillar could fall on her.
29	*** Capturing/Subduing an enemy before they can launch an attack.
30	[[/folder]]
31
32	!Starfleet Humans
33	[[folder:Starfleet Humans In General]]
34	* {{Hypocrite}}: Much like their pony counterparts, they do not understand the concept of "practice what you preach".
35	** They call out Crystal Prep for cheating during the Friendship Games, while they themselves use their superpowers for an unfair advantage.
36	* JerkJock: They sure love [[UnsportsmanlikeGloating rubbing in the victories]] that their enhanced abilities grant them.
37	[[/folder]]
38
39	[[folder:Celesto Grandruler]]
40	* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: For a moment, his helmet is removed while he is stranded in space so he can be healed. He doesn't die.
41	* Fiction500: A retired billionaire astronaut rich enough to own a high school [[IOwnThisTown and a good chunk of Mystic Island]].
42	* ParentalSubstitute: He's this to a number of the Starfleet ponies' human counterparts.
43	* {{Retirony}}: ''Starpops'' has him being pulled out of retirement to help with repairs aboard the International Space Station. [[spoiler:He ends up drifting into space and almost suffocating, but is saved by [[DeusExMachina a newly-empowered Celestia along with Spike's Majestic Dragon]].]]
44	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: He allows Lightning Dawn to enter Canterlot High despite him possessing no personal records by... well, owning the place. He does this again when he bails Celestia out of prison, and again when lifting Lightning's suspension.
45	[[/folder]]
46
47	[[folder:Human Starla Shine]]
48	* AllLoveIsUnrequited: She's in love with Lightning Dawn, but he already has the pony version of Starla back home.
49	* BadassBookworm: She mainly studies astronomy, but she's also proficient in martial arts.
50	* FemaleMisogynist: One specific example is in the first ''Starfleet Humans'', where she refers to Sunset Shimmer with a sexist term.
51	* PaletteSwap: Much like her pony counterpart, she's more or less an exact copy of Human Rarity.
52	[[/folder]]
53
54	[[folder:Human Rhymey (William Stirskewer III)]]
55	* OnlyKnownByHisNickname: It's established that Rhymey, which everyone calls him, is only his nickname; his real name is William Stirskewer III.
56	* PaletteSwap: He's just a recolored Flash Sentry with a slightly different hairstyle.
57	* PreppyName: His full name is William Stirskewer III, a reference to Creator/WilliamShakespeare.
58	[[/folder]]
59
60	[[folder:Human Artie Bristles]]
61	* ADayInTheLimelight: In ''Starpops'', he [[spoiler:solos the Dazzlings.]]
62	* DemotedToSatelliteLoveInterest: A [[GenderInvertedTrope rare male example]], his role from ''Starpops'' onwards is primarily defined by his attraction to Sunset Shimmer.
63	* PaletteSwap: He's just a recolored Flash Sentry with a slightly different hairstyle.
64	* SmugSuper: He beats up the Sirens alone, and then boasts about how his magic is superior to theirs.
65	[[/folder]]
66
67	[[folder:Human Buddy Rose]]
68	* PaletteSwap: He's just a recolored Flash Sentry with a slightly different hairstyle.
69	[[/folder]]
70
71	[[folder:Human Dyno and Mite]]
72	* PaletteSwap: Both of them are just a recolored Flash Sentry with a slightly different hairstyle.
73	[[/folder]]
74
75	[[folder:Human Lightning Dawn]]
76	* TheAce: To an absurd degree. He's impossibly smart and athletic, has a cushy teaching job, is an accomplished vigilante, and has female students fawning over his good looks, all under the age of 20.
77	* AuthorAvatar: His interactions with the Human Twilight Sparkle match up quite nicely with what Mykan has said about Twilight Sparkle.
78	* CompositeCharacter: Takes over the role of Abacus Cinch, who is nowhere to be found in ''Starfleet Events'' despite it otherwise being a WholePlotReference to ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames Friendship Games]]''.
79	* DeathByOriginStory: His parents were killed in a car crash [[UndignifiedDeath when a bully threw a beer can into their car which apparently shocked them so much that they ended up sending their car rolling down a hill]], [[EveryCarIsAPinto where it exploded, claiming their lives.]]
80	* {{Expy}}: Of Franchise/IndianaJones. In fact, the beginning of ''Starfleet Events'', which centers around him, is ripped directly from ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade''.
81	%%* {{Hypocrite}}:
82	* ImprobableAge: Once again, he became a licensed high-school teacher under the age of twenty.
83	* {{Jerkass}}: Acts rude to Human Twilight for disagreeing with his philosophies.
84	* OneManArmy: Single-handedly beats up the gang responsible for the deaths of his parents.
85	* ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer: His personal creed, and one that he insists on teaching the human Twilight.
86	[[/folder]]
87
88	[[folder:Human Celestia]]
89	* AdaptationalJerkass: To the point where she bears almost ''no resemblance'' to her canon self; never has it been hinted that the canon Celestia was '''ever''' this disagreeable.
90	* FreudianExcuse: Celestia's ill temper is a result of the death of her prized racehorse, a gift from her old friend Celesto.
91	* InformedAttribute: In ''My Brave Pony: Starfleet Humans'', Principal Celestia is stated to have become tyrannical following the death of her pet horse, Bud, but she is never seen stepping out of line, imposing harsh rules or unfairly punishing anyone.
92	* NeverASelfMadeWoman: She was given the job of principal from Celesto, largely out of pity.
93	* RageBreakingPoint: When Lightning insults her dead horse, she snaps and [[NoSell tries]] physically attacking him.
94	* SatelliteLoveInterest: To Celesto Grandruler. They've been in love for a long time, but haven't been able to actually get together for various reasons. Essentially, her character arc seems to revolve around rekindling her romance with Celesto.
95	* TookALevelInKindness: In ''Starpops'', she becomes much nicer compared to herself in the first ''Starfleet Humans''.
96	[[/folder]]
97
98	[[folder:Human Luna]]
99	* NeverASelfMadeWoman: Celesto gave Luna her job as vice principal as a personal favor.
100	* YouAreInCommandNow: After Celestia's firing, Luna takes over as principal.
101	* YouMonster: After Celestia punches Luna out when she tries to intervene to protect Lightning, Luna calls Celestia a "Monster!"
102	[[/folder]]
103
104	[[folder:Sunset Shimmer]]
105	* DamselInDistress: She gets captured by the Dazzlings. Which is a bit embarrassing, because this version of them is pathetic.
106	* DemotedToSatelliteLoveInterest: Downplayed. Originally a villain who pulled a HeelFaceTurn, she becomes Artie's girlfriend with not a whole lot of other noteworthy traits to diversify her character. Even when she gets to [[ADayInTheLimelight star in her own fanfic]], her relationship to Artie still looms large over her, not helped by the fact that her human counterpart is affiliated with Artie's parents.
107	* HeelFaceTurn: Due to the first ''Equestria Girls'' film still taking place in this continuity, Sunset Shimmer still receives one of these. This also makes her one of the only characters to pull one off without [[HeelFaceDoorSlam dying]] or being PutOnABus immediately afterwards.
108	* SatelliteLoveInterest: To Human Artie Bristles. There's not much to her besides her attraction to him.
109	[[/folder]]
110
111	[[folder:Human Twilight Sparkle]]
112	* ButtMonkey: Events are continuously contrived so [[AuthorAvatar Lightning Dawn]] will act rude to her.
113	* DemotedToExtra: She loses most of her plot relevance to Human Lightning and Xaydie.
114	* GenericDoomsdayVillain: [[spoiler:Midnight Sparkle loses her MadScientist personality and now just wants to gain magical power, rather than trying to understand it.]]
115	* SuddenIntelligence: The coma she fell into during the first ''Starfleet Humans'' somehow immensely increased her IQ.
116	[[/folder]]
117
118	[[folder:Human Applejack]]
119	* DemotedToExtra: The most notable thing about her is just how little presence she has in the fanfics, even among the Equestrian HuMane Five. She barely even shows up in the first installment until later in the fic!
120	[[/folder]]
121
122	[[folder:Human Rarity]]
123	* TheFashionista: Her main characterization. Like her pony counterpart, her friends aren't very generous with [[ButtMonkey her]] for it.
124	[[/folder]]
125
126	[[folder:Human Pinkie Pie]]
127	* GenkiGirl: Retains this trait from canon; she loves parties & sugary sweets in particular.
128	[[/folder]]
129
130	[[folder:Human Fluttershy]]
131	* DemotedToSatelliteLoveInterest: Much like her pony counterpart, her entire character revolves around Rhymey's human counterpart.
132	[[/folder]]
133
134	[[folder:Human Rainbow Dash]]
135	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: She thinks of herself as the best athlete in the school, but then Lightning Dawn comes along to one-up her.
136	* JerkJock: Thanks to being [[{{Flanderization}} stripped of her character depth]], this is her main trait. She's loud and arrogant, which her friends rarely tolerate, and her many KarmicButtMonkey moments are based on this. It's especially bad in Starfleet Events where she was one of the people bragging about how the protagonists using their powers to cheat at the Friendship Games [[BlatantLies isn't]] cheating [[ImplausibleDeniability at all]], and unlike other instances, she's not [[WhatTheHellHero called out for it]].
137	* KarmicButtMonkey: Is frequently made to be the "Butt-Monkey" part because of her JerkJock tendencies being emphasized from canon. In particular, her role in the first installment is entirely to be [[AlwaysSecondBest bested by the protagonist Lightning]].
138	[[/folder]]
139
140	[[folder:Spike the Dog]]
141	* EvilDetectingDog: Not necessarily "evil", but he does become particularly on-edge around [[AuthorAvatar Lightning]] and [[TheLoad Krysta]] (who is a robin in the human world), apparently picking up on them being more than meets the eye.
142	[[/folder]]
143
144	!Starfleet Humans Villains
145	[[folder:Flash Sentry]]
146	* AdaptationSpeciesChange: [[spoiler:Human in the source material, a Crystallite in this.]]
147	* AdaptationalBadass: He is an alien with superpowers [[spoiler:who also helps defeat the Demonites.]]
148	* AdaptationalVillainy: The ''Equestria Girls'' films gave no indication of Flash Sentry being anything other than an ordinary human. [[spoiler:In ''Starfleet Humans'', he's the son of Empress Sapphira and serves as her [[TheDragon Dragon]].]]
149	* TheDragon: [[spoiler:In ''Starfleet Humans'', he serves as this to Sapphira, his mother.]]
150	* HumanAliens: [[spoiler:He's a Crystallite.]]
151	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: At the end of ''Starfleet Humans'', he gets reformed by [[AmnesiacsAreInnocent erasing all memories of his past life]], suppressing his powers in the process. [[spoiler:They resurface in ''Starpops'' when he hears about the death of Twilight Sparkle. However, he stays a good guy.]]
152	* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:The climax of ''Starpops'' has him regaining his memories and Crystallite powers and choosing to fight alongside the heroes of his own accord. However, he gets fatally poisoned by Scales during the fight.]]
153	[[/folder]]
154
155	[[folder:Sapphira]]
156	* TheAssimilator: Her goal is to use a KillSat to turn all of Earth's population into her Crystallite servants.
157	* BigBad: Of ''Starfleet Humans''.
158	* EvilTeacher: In the human world, she masquerades as the principal of Crystal High.
159	* GenericDoomsdayVillain: The Crystallites have "[[AlwaysChaoticEvil vain, greedy conqueror]]" as their [[PlanetOfHats hat]], and that's about as much motivation as Sapphira gets.
160	* OneWingedAngel: [[FusionDance Combines with her satellite]] during the final battle.
161	[[/folder]]
162
163	[[folder:The Dazzlings]]
164	* AdaptationalWimp: By far the worst case out of all the characters from ''[=FiM=]'' canon. Basically all of their notable moments were given to the Demonites instead; the Dazzlings spend most of ''Starpops'' severely weakened, playing second fiddle to them, and only being a minor nuisance at best. They're also defeated much more easily, as Artie can beat all three of them alone... because [[MightyWhitey his magic is superior]] to theirs. Adagio gets it the worst, as she isn't even treated as the leader she was in canon.
165	* DirtyCoward: In the final battle, they are easily beaten, they run away more than once, but when they capture Sunset, they show a lot of sadism.
166	* {{Flanderization}}: Their individual personalities get erased, leaving them as generic and not so villains. It's especially notable with Sonata Dusk, due to the large departure from [[TheDitz her canon characterization]].
167	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Most of the time, they are pathetic. However, they manage to outsmart the Demonites by having spare gems that allow them to still fight back after their initial ones are taken. Then they capture and nearly kill Sunset, which helps the Demonites and makes Blaze finally respect them a little.
168	* UnwittingPawn: The Demonites use them to gather energy for themselves, then throw them under a bus at the climax.
169	[[/folder]]
170
171	[[folder:The Demonites[=/=]D-Man Knights]]
172	* BigBad: They serve as the main antagonists of ''Starpops'', with Blaze as their leader.
173	* BlobMonster: Slick is some kind of slime monster with a defined form.
174	* BlowYouAway: Tempest can make razors from wind.
175	* BondVillainStupidity: Continuously tell Starfleet that they can resurrect each other should one of them fall in battle as long as at least one of them is still alive. [[IdiotBall If that wasn't enough, it takes a while for the heroes to realize this despite the Demonites telling them this continuously.]]
176	* CameBackStrong: If one Demonite is killed, the others can revive him, and make him even stronger. [[GeminiDestructionLaw As such, they have to all be destroyed at the same time.]]
177	* CharacterShilling: Claim to have invented the MagicMusic used in-story and use that as an explanation for why they can NoSell The Dazzlings' magic.
178	* ColorCodedCharacters:
179	** Blaze - Red
180	** Boomer - Black, Gray
181	** Scales - Blue
182	** Tempest - Yellow
183	** Slick - Green
184	* DishingOutDirt: Boomer can make and throw rocks.
185	* EliteFour: Boomer, Scales, Tempest, and Slick all serve Blaze and are equal to each other.
186	* EvilerThanThou: They pull this on the Dazzlings at their first meeting and climax.
187	* EvilIsPetty:
188	** Slick makes a pile of goo appear on Fluttershy's seat when she's about to sit down, messing up her skirt and embarrassing her; he even says that he loves making others miserable.
189	** Blaze destroys the kitchen's milkshake machine after overhearing Sunset wanting to get a milkshake.
190	* {{Expy}}: Of the Shadow Beasts of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' in the final fight. When one is down, everyone else screeches at once and revives their teammate. They all have to be beaten at once.
191	* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: When at Star Camp, they are disguised as humans [[InformedAttractiveness who are said to be very good-looking]]. They then proceed to spread a HatePlague among the campers. This is quite literal in this case, as they are supposed to be demons.
192	* FiveManBand: {{Subverted\|Trope}} as, while there are five of them, the rest of the group dynamic is absent except for Blaze being the BigBad.
193	* ForTheEvulz: Their only motivation is to spread destruction for its own sake.
194	* GeminiDestructionLaw: Because the Demonites can revive each other, all members must be killed at the exact same time. Amazingly, the heroes have less difficulty from destroying them all at once and more from [[IdiotBall actually remembering this little factoid]].
195	* GenericDoomsdayVillain: They're not given much in the way of motivation or characterization beyond "group of [[InsistentTerminology demons]] that want to destroy stuff".
196	* HeroKiller: Scales. His poison kills [[spoiler:Flash Sentry.]]
197	* InformedAttractiveness: Their human forms are supposedly incredibly handsome, although there is little description of what they look like.
198	* LightIsNotGood: Tempest can use blinding light.
199	* LouisCypher: Hmm, wonder what their band name could mean...
200	* MissingReflection: They do not have reflections and do not show up in pictures.
201	* OurDemonsAreDifferent: They're supposedly demons, [[InformedAttribute but demonstrate almost none of the typical traits]]; they're somewhat closer to [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]] than anything.
202	* PaperThinDisguise: How they didn't get exposed earlier is a mystery. Their band name is [[LouisCypher "D-Man Knights"]], [[CardCarryingVillain they sing about how evil they are]] and [[EvilIsPetty they do random acts of evil in public]].
203	* PlayingWithFire: Blaze. His control over fire is remarkable, as he can create from mere illusions of flames for special effects, to fire strong enough to burn down a whole academy.
204	* PoisonousPerson: Scales. His poison can even kill [[spoiler:a Crystallite.]]
205	* SingingVoiceDissonance: Scales' {{Sssssnaketalk}} is absent when he sings. Possibly he trained to hide what would blow the cover of him and his teammates.
206	* SpearCounterpart: To the Dazzlings, from powers to role all the way down to backstory.[[FlatCharacter The only thing missing is personality... compared to the canon Dazzlings, anyway.]]
207	* {{Sssssnaketalk}}: Scales talks this way.
208	* SuperSentaiStance: They do this before performing their second VillainSong. Additionally, they say their names while doing so.
209	* TotallyRadical: '''''"D-Man Knights".'''''
210	* VillainSong: Two. One based on Music/MichaelJackson's ''Thriller'' and the other one based on a parody of Music/LadyGaga's ''Poker Face''. (No, really.)
211	[[/folder]]
212
213	[[folder:Xaydie]]
214	* AmbiguouslyBrown: Has brown skin, lives on an island in the Pacific, and was part of a native tribe.
215	* BigBad: The main villain of ''Starfleet Events''.
216	* FallenHero: From a well-meaning witch doctor to an evil witch bent on world domination. What triggered the change is not sufficiently explained.
217	* GenericDoomsdayVillain: She wants to TakeOverTheWorld... for some reason.
218	* GrandTheftMe: Her plan involves transferring her spirit into Cadance's body.
219	* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Through a combination of magic and cybernetic enhancements, Xaydie has managed to survive for several centuries.
220	* WeatherManipulation: Using a giant {{Magitek}} machine built into her lair, Xaydie can control the Earth's weather patterns.
221	* WitchDoctor: Is one.
222	[[/folder]]
223
224	[[folder:Human Fratello]]
225	* ActionBomb: Has a SelfDestructMechanism built into him by Xaydie to ensure his compliance.
226	* CainAndAbel: He's forced to play the Cain to Cadance's Abel.
227	* TheDragon: To Xaydie, albeit unwillingly.
228	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Uses the bomb inside him to destroy Xaydie's lair. Naturally, he doesn't survive.]]
229	* WalkingTechbane: His presence disables nearby technology, primarily cell phones.
230	* WeCanRebuildHim: After washing up on the shores of Xaydie's island with severe injuries, the witch doctor decided to turn him into a cyborg lackey.
