Alicorn Civilization


    open/close all folders 

    General 
  • The Ace: The ancient Alicorns of yore are rightly seen as this by modern Equinekind even in the present Age, as they possessed the power, immortality, and experience needed to create a divine, borderline-utopian civilization with impossible architecture and spiritual, magical, technological, and cultural advancements. There were also certain Alicorns like Golden Scepter, Morning Star, and Ascending Dawn who were born "prodigies", their achievements surpassing even those of their "normal" divine kin. However, Morning Star serves as a deconstruction as his ego and increasingly obsessive drive for perfection ultimately caused his Fall, becoming the very antithesis of what he wanted to be by the time he died.
  • And I Must Scream: Apparently, the ultimate punishment for their absolute worst criminals was the use of the Absolute Desolation, a divinely enchanted sword, to open a wormhole and banish them to the Void Between the Worlds at the furthest reaches of time and space where they will float, alone and frozen for all eternity. The sword was eventually lost, but would resurface in Qilin territory where Edgeless Blade would find it and keep it on him so it wouldn't fall into the wrong hands.
  • Badass Boast: One Alicorn summarises the Alicorn Civilization's greatness at its height with a pretty haughty one. MAYBE mixed with Blasphemous Boast, though the Alicorns being already gods muddies things.
    Alicorn: All live under heaven, and all heaven live under us.
  • Bystander Syndrome: Deconstructed. Much like the Nature Giants, who isolated themselves because of Grogar's actions forever ruining their view of mortal "Tinies" and their belief that they are superior in looking after nature, the Alicorns isolated themselves because Morning Star's betrayal and the war that followed ruined them so badly that they focused solely rebuilding their society and replenishing their numbers. As such, even if they're aware of the situation out of their Sanctuary Realms thanks to scouts they would send on occasion, they still choose not to interfere in the various crises occurring all over Equus because their goals essentially revolve around regaining their lost glory. Ascending Dawn comes up with legitimate excuses to help out despite his bosses forbidding it, and Celestia and Luna left because they wanted to help mortal Ponykind, but in ways their people disapproved of. Golden Scepter was one of those who stayed behind after the war that destroyed the Alicorn Civilization because as a ruler, he felt obliged to help the innocent and aid in rebuilding, causing him to be viewed by Alicornkind as an eccentric individual.
  • Deity of Human Origin: Implied, as Alicorns in general are described as "Ascendant" deities, meaning they were once mortal. It's because of their origins that the Alicorns sought to lead their mortal subjects to greatness. But over time, they became afflicted with hubris and decadence that stemmed from their divinity and power, causing them to strive to become perfect, flawless beings while casting aside the very traits and virtues that helped them Ascend in the first place. This is what ultimately caused their downfall. In fact, this is one of the factors that motivated Golden Scepter to throw away his Alicorn name, Auriolus Scaeptrum, and readopt his birth name that he currently uses, seeing his Alicorn name as a symbol of everything wrong with the Alicorn Civilization.
    Emperor Golden Scepter: (to Princess Twilight/Amicitia Sparkle) The ancient Alicorns thought they were perfect and flawless, without peer. They thought that by casting aside their roots, they could become something greater than themselves... and in time, they would forget what made them succeed. What made them Equine.
  • Expy: As more about Alicornkind is revealed, the Alicorn Civilization is gradually revealed to be based on the Eldar Empire. Much like the Eldar Empire, the Alicorn Civilization is considered one of the greatest Equine civilizations in Pre-Known History, and was extremely advanced in many aspects in its heyday. However, it was so successful that eventually its Alicorn residents became stagnant, which gave way to corruption and decadent hedonism, and led to the rise of Morning Star, one of the most infamous Fallen deities known to sapientkind. Unlike the Eldar, though, the Alicorns of yore were generally benevolent and wished to guie their mortal subjects to greatness, and after the 'Twilight of the Alicorns', the Alicorns chose to retreat into complete seclusion to try replenish their numbers.
  • Free-Love Future: Justified. In a parallel to what happened with the Eldar Empire, the Alicorns built an extremely successful divine civilization with vast cultural and societal improvements, which gave them all the freedom and opportunity to take an open-minded approach to love and sex. Because of this, gay, bisexual, lesbian, heterosexual, and even polyamorous relationships were common among the Alicorns. It's eventually deconstructed; as the Alicorn Civilization began to stagnate, their sexually active lifestyle twisted into something much darker, until things culminated in Morning Star's birth. Golden Scepter, one of the few surviving Alicorn rulers from that civilization, tried to keep himself "honest" by being a good lover for both his male and female partners, but even that didn't stop him from participating in the things his neighbors did, and he would deeply regret his actions. It's implied that while he does miss his previous lovers, Golden Scepter chose to marry a single mortal mare and stay faithful to her long after her death so that he could separate himself from the mistakes and flaws that ruined the Alicorns.
  • Happily Married: Implied in Written Word's entry. According to Golden Scepter, there were some Alicorns who entered faithful, long-term relationships with their partners, much like him and his mortal pegasus wife, Blessed Skies.
  • Hidden Elf Village: Deconstructed. Following the rise of Morning Star and the destruction of their civilization, the surviving Alicorns would isolate themselves from the outside world, establishing Sanctuary-Realms to rebuild their society and replenish their numbers. The few exceptions who didn't go with them, such as Golden Scepter and Celestia and Luna, chose to stay behind to help rebuild the outside world and/or guide the various surviving Equine races. It's deconstructed; the Alicorns are so absorbed in regaining their former glory that they are ignorant to the outside world's crises and trials, and even if they are aware, they still choose to stay in isolation because they see the affairs of the outside world as not their problem. Their isolation also prevents Alicorns-in-training from properly Ascending at rates compared to Alicorns in the outside world because of their complete lack of worldly experience. This is a problem Ascending Dawn faces, and uses his job as a scout as an excuse to help because he couldn't bear to stand by like his neighbors while everyone else is suffering. Eventually, with villainous Alicorns like Novum Genus and Exosus threatening the world, the surviving Alicorns are forced to swallow their pride and lend aid in dealing with them, regardless of the risks that come with it.
  • How the Mighty Have Fallen: The Alicorns were the greatest of King Equus' mortal/divine children, and the extremely successful Alicorn Civilization was proof of their collective power, genius, and might. At their height their power and influence span and remade entire galaxy superclusters. Now, thanks to a combination of Morning Star and their own corruption and hubris, the Alicorns had been reduced to nothing more than a handful of isolated Sanctuary-Realms in pocket realities, where they work on rebuilding their once-great society and replenishing their numbers. Golden Scepter, one of the few Alicorns who chose to stay behind, would admit to Temnobog that the 'Twilight of the Alicorns' conflict was the best thing that happened to them.
  • Immortality Bisexuality: The Alicorns weren't picky with who they decided to fall in love with, and many of them had same-sex relationships and marriages. This included Golden Scepter, who married a mortal Pegasus mare and notably courted the likes of Morning Star before his Fall.
  • Immortality Promiscuity: As part of their Free-Love Future, the Alicorns took on various divine and mortal lovers, regardless of gender, age, and race. Unfortunately, as the Alicorns grew increasingly corrupt, so did their lifestyles, which eventually devolved into outright hedonism. This became a huge reason why Golden Scepter decided to stay faithful to his mortal Pegasus wife, Blessed Skies, and refused to take another partner following her death.
  • Immortal Ruler: It's implied that the Alicorn Civilization contained a vast network of empires, with Golden Scepter's old empire being among the most successful of them due to his incredible genius and talent. All of said empires were ruled by Alicorns, though specific ruling titles vary; Golden Scepter's title implies that "Emperor/Empress" is an official ruling rank, though "King/Queen" also existed, as shown with Hylia the Wise, a deceased Alicorn Queen. There's also the rulers of the Alicorn Civilization itself, who are presumably far older and more powerful than even the other Alicorns.
  • Large and in Charge: If Golden Scepter is of any indication, the Alicorns of ancient times were very tall due to divines in the Codexverse getting Stronger with Age, their true size increasing along with growing more pairs of wings. And before the Alicorn Civilization's fall, the Alicorns were also rulers of their empires and kingdoms, and they often guided the evolution of various mortal sapient Equine species. It's also implied that the rulers of the Alicorn Civilization itself, the Hierarchs, are even bigger.
  • Living Legend: While the existence of Alicorns have largely been reduced to myths and stories, due to most of them secluding themselves from the world completely, those Alicorns who do choose to live among mortals are rightly seen as powerful and ancient gods in their own right.
  • Lost Technology: Prince Steel Barricade's entry reveals the Alicorns built 'supercomputers' for the sole purpose of predicting potential Cutie Marks. It's stated the construction and use of such things contributed to the fall of the Alicorn Civilization, as the creators of the Cutie Mark-predicting supercomputers used them to shape and control their mortal subjects' lives and futures as they saw fit. When Golden Scepter, a survivor of the Alicorn Civilization, discovered that Steel Barricade managed to build his own working version, he was both proud and disappointed, and had his son scrap his project permanently after explaining why why using foresight-based technologies is a bad idea in the long run.
    • Majesty's Rewriting Reality at the end of the 'Imperium Era' to destroy the 'Law of Despair' resulted in this for a lot of Alicorn Civilization's former technology as well, since many of them rely on scientific/natural laws which no longer work. While many Alicorns are outraged about it, her father Golden Scepter and many others considers this to be a worthwhile sacrifice to ensure the galaxy has a chance of a better future.
  • Meaningful Rename: It's noted in both Princess Twilight Sparkle's entry and a comment from Kendell2 that the ancient Alicorns had a tradition of taking on new names (including taking last names from the countries/realms they ruled over) upon Ascending to the ranks of full royalty. An example would be Twilight Sparkle herself, who would be renamed "Amicitia Sparkle Equestria" upon succeeding Celestia and Luna as ruler of Equestria. Golden Scepter himself was renamed "Auriolus Scaeptrum" after founding his first empire, but he did so many bad things under that name (especially during the Imperium era) that he became disgusted with himself and saw "Auriolus Scaeptrum" as a symbol of everything wrong with the Alicorn Civilization and its practices/beliefs. To distance himself from the flaws and mistakes of his people, he cast his Alicorn name aside, deeming it "dead", and readopted his birth name which he went by ever since.
  • The Milky Way Is the Only Way: Subverted. The Alicorn Civilization at its peak colonised/conquered not only the entire Milky Way galaxy, but many other superclusters of galaxies as well, making their domains span across potentially thousands, if not TENS/HUNDREDS of thousands of galaxies.
  • Physical God: All of the Alicorns (even those who survived the war with Morning Star) are extremely ancient and powerful gods, capable of changing reality if they wished to, as they lived before Known History and even before that. Golden Scepter in particular is noted a few times to be one of the best among them, being born a "prodigy deity" who is an incredibly powerful psychic, the founder of three technologically/magically-advanced empires, and a war hero who fought Morning Star for ten Ages and saved Alicornkind from complete extinction by protecting and hiding those who didn't fight in the war.
  • Polyamory: Justified. The Alicorns making sure that their civilization was "perfect" in every aspect created a Free-Love Future where everyone had the opportunity and freedom to engage in openly sexual relationships. According to Golden Scepter, while some Alicorns had gay, bi, lesbian, or even heterosexual relationships, others liked "a bit of everything". It eventually got deconstructed when the Alicorn Civilization started stagnating; among the many "dishonest" things they did was taking in multiple partners simply for pleasure, and their hedonism grew so depraved and extreme that it became part of the reason why their civilization fell. Golden Scepter, who himself slept with both mares and stallions, regretted his involvement in his people's mistakes despite his attempts to keep himself "honest" and be a good lover to all his partners, which is why he ended up choosing to settle down with a single mortal pegasus mare and stayed faithful to her long after her death.
  • Stronger with Age: Implied; in the Codexverse, Alicorns "age" by growing more powerful and gaining additional features such as extra pairs of wings and wing gradients. Golden Scepter, who was regarded as one of the best among Alicornkind, is described as a six-winged Alicorn god in his true form, with white-to-yellow gradients on his wings and feathers made of holy fire. Presumably, the Alicorns of his time were very ancient, and those who survived the "Twilight of the Alicorns" conflict would live on to become very powerful divines.
  • Time Abyss: Justified. Many residents of the Alicorn Civilization, such as Golden Scepter, Ascending Dawn, Morning Star, and Hylia, are extremely old due to them being born before Known History. However, it's revealed that even the oldest Alicorns are "younger" than Amareros' oldest son and child, Canteros, who was born sometime after Equus was created/shaped by the Grand Primevals.
  • Technology Levels: The Alicorn Civilization advanced to the point their technology was reaching Indistinguishable From Magic (and many of them ARE powered by or partially made of magic). Even ‘common’ Alicorns may possess magic and access to technologies which allow them to remake worlds, move suns and warp spacetime to their whims as well as the knowledge to use them. The Alicorn Civilization's component nations and as a whole can embark on projects which could remake entire galaxies.
  • We Have Become Complacent: Despite being the most successful and greatest Equine children of the ancient god, Equus, and having the most widespread civilization to the point where it's still mentioned in stories and legends, even Alicornkind still fell to stagnation and corruption. Having crafted an extremely successful society in every way, the Alicorns had almost nothing else to motivate them, and what seemed like the behavioral norm for Alicorn rulers (acting like regal, stoic, and wise rulers who are also emotionally distant to their subjects) is actually quite toxic, since it only encouraged superior and high-hoofed attitudes. Naturally, this would lead to their fall at the hooves of Morning Star and his traitorous faction, their civilization becoming irreparably ruined as the result of ten Ages of war. Golden Scepter would admit to Temnobog several millennia later that even he was not exempt from the corruption, despite his awareness and his attempts to avert it, and sees the "Twilight of the Alicorns" conflict as the best thing that happened to him and his people.
    Temnobog: A divine utopia of complete benevolence and fairness, with nothing but success to truly motivate them? No wonder your people fell. They've been sitting on their laurels for so long that they eventually became blind to their own corruption... until one of them snapped, that is.
    Golden Scepter: ...I suppose you are right, Dark One. Even I was blind to it, as hard as I tried... Perhaps... perhaps Morning Star's betrayal and the destruction of my home were the best things that ever happened to the Alicorns, and me as well.
  • Winged Unicorn: The Alicorn Civilization is, obviously, a divine society of Alicorns. Despite their extreme success, however, they still stagnated and fell in the end.

    Ascending Dawn, the Sword of Equus 

Classification: Ethereal

Portfolio: Redemption, Martial Arts, Plasma

Rank: Titan

"No being is truly beyond a fall - but no being is also truly beyond redemption."

Ascending Dawn (read here) is the Alicorn god of Redemption, Martial Arts, and Plasma, and another surviving antediluvian Alicorn, though one with a very mysterious reputation.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: He's an Alicorn god who embodies Redemption, Martial Arts, and Plasma.
  • Archangel Michael: According to Word of God, he serves as a counterpart to this in contrast to Morning Star representing Lucifer. Thus he's the commander of the Alicorn Civilization's armies and their greatest warrior.
  • Composite Character: Of Ultraman Zero and the Archangel Michael.
  • Fanboy: BrutalityInc reveals that because Golden Scepter is a Living Legend among Alicornkind for being a war hero, as well as an extremely competent, successful, and powerful ruler who made three successful empires in his lifetime, Ascending Dawn has a very favorable opinion of him. BrutalityInc even compares him to a fan in this regard.
  • Foil: To Morning Star. The largest difference between them is that while both are prideful Alicorns, Ascending Dawn learned the error of his ways and got better. In contrast, Morning Star never did, and got worse. Almost unsurprisingly, this also makes him one of his greatest enemies.
  • Jerkass Realization: He was once a very egotistical Alicorn divine, much like Morning Star, but at some point in his life, he realized the error of his ways. His attempts to humble himself turned him into a heroic and benevolent person, albeit still somewhat proud and brash.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: His entry describes his personality as being brash, reckless, and proud, but he's undoubtedly a heroic and benevolent character. His entry also goes on to explain that his ego was once equal to Morning Star's, but after realizing the error of his ways, he made attempts to humble himself, thus averting falling the same way as his Fallen peer did. Luminiferous has likened him to Rainbow Dash, the Bearer of Loyalty, who has a similar personality.
  • Loophole Abuse: Technically speaking, he's mainly meant to act as the civilization's scout to the outside world and only interfere when absolutely necessary. He tends to be quite lenient with what he considers necessary because he's too heroic to overlook a lot of the suffering happening, and find any justification he can to do so. This includes helping best the Shadowed Ones using the fact they caused trouble for the Alicorn Civilization back in the day as his excuse.
  • The Magnificent: Known as "the Sword of Equus", due to his excellent swordsmanship and his role in Morning Star's first defeat and banishment. According to legend, his epithet also came from fighting alongside Equus, the ancient god of modern Equines who the planet was named after.
  • Winged Unicorn: He's an Alicorn, one of few survivors of the previous generations of Alicorns that once lived in the fallen Alicorn Civilization. Due to his age he has six wings.

    Novum Genus 

Classification: Ascendant

Portfolio: ???

Rank: ???


  • Mad Scientist: His experiments to try and accelerate the regrowth of the Alicorns are comparable to the Alicorn Ascendancy's. The Alicorns ended up sealing him away because of them.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: He was imprisoned alone side his followers in a mirror dimension behind a magic mirror for his heinous experiments. He's not happy when he escapes.

    Midday Messenger, the Brilliant Herald 

Classification: Ethereal/Ascendant

Portfolio: Messengers, Heralds, Trickery

Rank: Antecedent

"No matter the situation, no matter the odds, my messages will ALWAYS get through."

Midday Messenger (her entry here) is the Alicorn goddess of Messengers, Heralds, and Trickery, and is one of Emperor Golden Scepter's old lovers who reunites with him in the Fourth Age.
  • Animalistic Abomination: Equine variant. Due to being an Alicorn goddess who lived during Pre-Known History, she is as ancient and powerful as Golden Scepter. Her 'default' form is a blue-furred Alicorn with a mane and tail made of white energy that's always flowing north, a wing gradient going from blue to white, and a radiant halo behind her head. Her true form is a massive Alicorn with six wings made of wind, and her mane and tail shows images of various places that she's previously traveled to when looked at.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: She's an Alicorn goddess who embodies Messengers, Heralds, and Trickery.
  • Archangel Gabriel: She's intended to be the counterpart of him to go along with Ascending Dawn's Archangel Michael and Morning Star's Satan. In particular, her status as a messenger and herald fits Gabriel's traditional role as God's messenger and herald in Biblical lore.
  • Due to the Dead: One of the first things she did after reuniting with Golden Scepter again in the Fourth Age is to visit the mausoleum of Golden Scepter's deceased wife, Empress-Consort Blessed Skies. While part of the reason is to pay her respects, she also wants to assure Blessed Sky's departed spirit that even if they restart their old relationship, she is not here to 'steal' him, 'take him back' or otherwise replace Blessed Skies in Golden Scepter's life. She then expresses both gratitude that Blessed Skies made Golden Scepter happy for the time they spent together and also hopes that perhaps one day they could meet.
  • Herald: She's the Alicorn goddess of Heralds, as well as Messengers and Trickery. She's also presently the ambassador of the still isolationist and recovering Alicorn Civilization in the outside world, being the one to reestablish formal contact on their behalf.
  • Holy Halo: Like Golden Scepter and other similarly ancient Alicorns, she has a radiant halo behind her head.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Despite being old flames with Golden Scepter, Midday Messenger was glad that Blessed Skies came into Golden Scepter's life and made him happy for the time they spent together. While visiting Blessed Skies' mausoleum together with Golden Scepter, she reassured Blessed Skies' departed spirit that she has no intention of replacing her in Golden Scepter's life nor that of his children, even if they do hook up again.
  • Magic Hair: Her mane and tail are made of white energy that's always flowing north. When in her true form, her mane and tail displays images of various places that she's previously traveled to.
  • Polyamory: She later enters a polyamorous relationship with Emperor Golden Scepter and Prince Stella Fictor after the Alicorn Civilization's remnants unveiled themselves to the outside world. Despite knowing of Golden Scepter's history with Stella as ex-lovers, she allowed the former to let Stella date them as well. She's close to Stella and is willing to share Golden Scepter with him, but only loves Stella platonically because he's gay. It's noted their relationship had huge public repercussions as many modern Alicorns didn't pursue such relationships. It also changes personal relationship with the Terran Princes from a family friend to a potential stepmother.
  • Time Abyss: Like Golden Scepter, she's an "Antecedent"-ranked Alicorn, which means she lived countless Ages before Known History and is roughly as old as him.
  • Trickster God: Trickery is one of her domains, meaning she is this. Her first act upon returning to Equus from the Sanctuary Realms is to disguise herself as a poor, desperate Kirin on the side of a road being passed through by Golden Scepter's entourage, with the intent to see if her old lover really had changed his ways. She was most pleased to see her hopes bore fruit when Golden Scepter stopped to help her and even offered her a job in his Terran palace, whereupon she revealed herself to him.
  • Undying Loyalty: In a realistic sense. She's incredibly loyal to her loved ones, as well as King Equus, whom she works for, but she is quite willing to talk back to the aforementioned people and call them out if she finds their actions reprehensible. This is why Equus trusted her as his messenger. It's also why she left Golden Scepter during the Imperium era - she was willing to stay with him at first, but as Golden Scepter grew more extreme and tyrannical, she became so disgusted that she left him behind and joined the remnants of her people in the Sanctuary Realms.
  • We Used to Be Friends: Midday Messenger and Golden Scepter used to be lovers, until Golden Scepter's actions during the Imperium Era drove them apart. With her return in the Fourth Age as the Alicorn Civilization's ambassador, as well as Golden Scepter's recovery and atonement, they're back on more amicable terms. They later enter a polyamorous relationship with Prince Stella Fictor Cahaya, another one of Golden Scepter's old lovers, though while willing to 'share' Golden Scepter with Stella, she only loves Stella platonically due to him being gay.

    Healing Dusk, the (WIP) 

Classification: Ascendant

Portfolio: Healing, Guidance, Water

Rank: Antecedent


Healing Dusk (first introduced here) is the Alicorn god of Healing, Guidance, and Water, and is the Alicorn Civilization's equivalent of a Chancellor.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: He's an Alicorn god who embodies Healing, Guidance, and Water.
  • Archangel Raphael: He's intended to be the Codexverse's counterpart of the Archangel Raphael from Catholic lore, to go along with Ascending Dawn being Archangel Michael, Midday Morning being Archangel Gabriel, and Morning Star being Satan. His status as a healer and guide corresponds to Raphael being a healer and guide, and his being a god of water corresponds to Raphael being symbolically connected to water as well.
  • Healing Hands: Implied; he's the Alicorn god of Healing, so he has extremely powerful healing magics. Midday Messenger brings this up when she's talking to Golden Scepter about Prince Crimson Star's blindness.
    Midday Messenger: It's a shame we're still in the Sanctuary Realms... Healing Dusk could have helped him.
    Emperor Golden Scepter: Yes... but Crimson Star has overcome it in his own way and become stronger for it. How is Dusk?
    Midday Messenger: Happier than I've seen him in a long time. He hates being stuck in the sanctuary, away from ponies he knows are hurting. He's looking forwards to when he can leave.
  • In-Series Nickname: Golden Scepter calls him "Dusk", implying he's called this among those Alicorns who knew him personally.
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted; there's an Alicorn god from the Second Age named Healing Song... who also possesses similar healing powers like him. Ironically, Healing Song is blind, while he is not. Then it's later played straight after Healing Song is renamed Prince Medela Cantor Cahaya for his heroic actions during the 'Dark Ages Crisis'.
  • Time Abyss: Implied; he's an "Antecedent"-ranked god, making him roughly as old as Golden Scepter.

    Queen Olympia 

Classification: Ascendant

Portfolio: [TBA]

Rank: Antecedent


Mother of Magna, the King of Conquerors, Queen Olympia is an ancient and powerful Alicorn goddess who foresaw her son would one day become a mighty ruler of empires and dedicated herself to making sure it come to pass no matter what, believing the lands and mortals of the world needed to be brought under strong, powerful and firm rule of divine sovereigns to truly achieve order, stability and prosperity. This led to her ruthlessly manipulating the affairs of her husband's court to ensure all other less worthy or rival potential successors are removed out of his way, while grooming her son to become a warrior, conqueror and king with ambitions to rival her own.

For most part, Olympia would succeed in her manipulations. However, following the 'Twilight of the Alicorns', a soul-searching Magna was appalled to discover some of the things she did to ensure he would succeed his now late father, as well as finding her worldview in general morally questionable, leading to him opposing her mother and eventually sealing her away. Yet this would not be the end of her story: In the Fourth Age, she would be released, and seeing a world in grip of a century-long era of crisis, calamity and conflict, she became only more convinced in her convictions about the need for strong divine rulership over the world, and with her son still unwilling to take up her ideals and 'see the light', she had decided to do the job herself.
  • Ambition Is Evil: Like her inspirations Olympias, Queen of Macedon, and Livia Drusilla, wife of Emperor Augustus (as depicted in I, Claudius), she is noted to be even more ambitious than their children and husbands are and did much to foster it, while doing many other villainous, terrible things to achieve her ambitions.
  • Antagonistic Offspring:
    • Despite her high hopes for Magna, the King of Conquerors, Magna was horrified when he learned of the ruthless and terrible deeds she committed to make sure Magna could become heir of his by then late father's throne and rise as the great ruler of empires she foresee he could become and that she believes the world needs, and turned against, defeated and sealed her away to free himself and protect the world from her plans and ambitions. Surprisingly, it's implied she doesn't hold THAT against him, being more disappointed by the fact that he still doesn't accept Hobbes Was Right about the world and decided to be the strong divine autocrat she felt the world needed for order, stability and prosperity.
    • A few of her other sons and daughters are also implied to be not very nice, least of all to her, and she eventually had to get rid of some of them, to clear the way for Magna but also because they are horrible in their own right.
  • Batman Gambit: In one drabble demonstrating her credentials as a gender-inverted Manipulative Bastard, she convinced several reluctant members of a group to support her cause by cornering each of them individually and persuade/deceive them into thinking the other members had already unanimously support her, while pressuring the few who are slightly less persuadable to go along with it anyway by taking advantage of their individual relative spinelessness and collective fear of blackmail by a third party. Even Astus and Blackthorn, who were present as guests/observers in the event where that took place, were impressed by how well she pulled it off.
  • Beauty Is Bad: Going by one drabble and her inspirations, Olympia is likely one of the more beautiful Alicorn goddesses around the Alicorn Civilization. yet beneath her stunning and motherly appearance she is actually a calculating, ruthless, manipulative and scheming Evil Matriarch who is willing to do many terrible, villainous things to achieve her ends.
  • Behind Every Great Man: Olympia was the mother of Magna, the King of Conquerors and unquestionably the goddess behind the god, having raised and groomed Magna to become the warrior, conqueror and king she foreseen he could become, with ambitions to rival her own if not the same morals. Owing to her inspirations, which includes Lady Macbeth and Livia Drusilla, Olympia was also likely this for Magna's father.
  • Cannibalism Superpower: Implied to have, like her son Magna and several Foils like Viceach Iniquitous, take the power and domains from deities and other beings she consumed and assimilate to gain more strength and abilities for her own ends, having consumed many enemies and rivals standing in her way. While she didn't take the domains of her grandchildren from other sons and daughters besides Magna when she swallows and seal them away inside herself, she still as an incidental bonus siphoned some power from them, their celestial servants and their mortal worshippers/subjects to feed her and fuel her domains while they reside in their Gilded Cage internment in the realms of her innards.
  • The Chessmaster: Owing to her inspirations, she was this, ruthlessly manipulating her husband the ruling Alicorn king's court and family to eliminate all and any potential rivals to her son Magna in the line of succession while grooming him to become a conqueror, warrior and king with ambitions to rival her own, all so her son could become the great divine ruler of empires she foresees he could become who could help bring order, stability and prosperity to the world under firm divine rule.
  • Composite Character: According to Godzillawolf and BrutalityInc, Queen Olympia is a combination of Macedonian Queen Olympias and the I, Claudius's portrayal of Livia Drusilla, both ruthlessly ambitious mothers who did horrible things to ensure their sons inherited the thrones of the Greek and Roman Empires, respectively. Olympia's Control Freak tendencies towards mortalkind also come from Mother Gothel, and her act of devouring her own children and grandchildren references Cronos, though her reasons for doing so are more sympathetic whereas Cronos did it out of power-lust and fear of being usurped.
  • Control Freak: Because of her Hobbes Was Right beliefs about the world, she believes and desires strong autocratic divine rulership to impose order and stability upon the world and sees firm control over unruly and self-destructive mortals and even inadequate fellow gods as necessary for the world to truly prosper. Magna firmly disagrees, despite her grooming Him into the great conqueror and ruler she foreseen He could become in part to facilitate such necessary strong divine rule, leading to their conflict.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Inflicted one against a rival wife/concubine of her ruling Alicorn husband and her heir via burning them alive. Learning this along with her views and desires for him and the world was what turned Magna against her and her plans.
  • Democracy Is Bad: Queen Olympia is firmly of this opinion regarding democracy, desiring authoritarian rule over mortals and even gods by those with merit, will and strength to do so as a preferable alternative to the chaos and instability of 'mob rule'
    • One of her objections regarding democracy is observing how a democratic organization or state almost always evolve into an authoritarian or oligarchic one where a leadership caste governs all - often with the indifferent or even willing consent of the ruled - partly due to operational necessities and structural flaws faced by such organizations. Seeing this happening every single time throughout her hundreds of thousands to millions of years of immortal life among mortal civilizations and even divine pantheons partly convinced her autocracy and oligarchy is the inevitable and natural state of civilization and deep down what mortals and even lesser gods desire and deserve.
    Queen Olympia: Time and time again, I have seen the struggle for freedom and 'republicanism' among mortals and even gods doomed to inevitable failure: at best, the representative democracy becomes a façade to legitimize the rule of the elite. At worst, it becomes the vehicle upon which unworthy usurpers seizes power over all. Even as recently as this 'Second Age' of the present eras you called 'Known History' a few perspective mortals had noticed this trend, one even enshrining it into a proverbial 'law' of political and historical development. The 'Iron Law of Oligarchy' - an appropriate name.
  • The Dreaded: As noted by Golden Scepter's brothers Diamond Mantle and Platinum Crown, while Olympia was not as important as the Hirearchs and Empyreans, nor as infamous as Morning Star, Olympia was still a queen and consort of a powerful Alicorn sovereign's realm, and together with rumours of what she had and could do and what was confirmed about what she had and can do, makes her widely feared and respected back in her day (with more on the former part), and definitely an Alicorn to not undersestimated under any circumstances. A lot of her enemies and rivals who were not cautious when dealing with her would end up paying a heavy price.
    Platinum Crown: (To Princess Amicitia) Be wary of her and her plans, your highness; Olympia is a serpent with diamond scales but a deadly bite, always waiting for a chance to strike. Let your guard down, and you will die from her poison before you know it.
  • Did You Just Romance Cthulhu?: On top of having a patron in Astus Equus, the Lying Empyrean, they were also apparently 'partners'.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones:
    • Much of her villainy was driven by her desire to see her son Magna fulfill his potential and become the great divine ruler she foresee he could become. And from what's implied, even when she was released after being imprisoned by her own son for morally-questionable deeds, she was more disappointed by the fact that he still didn't take up her views more than the fact he turned on and imprisoned her and either didn't pursue revenge or had it on the backburner while she focused on establishing her own divine rule in the Fourth Age and be the 'strong divine sovereign' which she believes the world needs.
    • Although a ruthless manipulative schemer who was willing to eliminate anyone who could be a contender to Magna as heir to her husband's reign and domain, even she could not bring herself to harm her own grandchildren by her other sons and daughters, being her own flesh and blood many of whom despite their potential threat to Magna's rule was still too young and innocent to deserve being killed (even if said cannot be said of their parents, some of whom is implied to have either become as corrupt and decadent as the Alicorn Civilization had become, killed off during the 'Twilight of the Alicorns' or otherwise she judged unworthy and had already gotten rid off). She eventually Took a Third Option and took advantage of their divine natures to swallow and seal them off inside her body with a few lands/kingdoms worth of mortal subjects for them to watch over and a few legion's worth of loyal servants to help them (and monitor them for her). By her own words, while she firmly believes it still must be done, she feels bad about it and still occasionally visits them with an avatar or communicate with her servants to make sure they're still doing alright inside her body realm.
    • Despite being willing to manipulate him as she did everypony else, Olympia insisted and what little evidence available did suggest that she truly loved Magna's father and missed him dearly, something she made very clear to Magna despite their ongoing antagonism when Magna noted how he behaved around her and how much Queen Olympia took advantage of that.
    King Magna: Whatever did you ever saw in our father? He is always so spineless when he is in your presence...
    Queen Olympia: Only in my presence, Magna, and even then he was more insightful than he looked. To his subjects and peers he is every bit the divine ruler he is and ought to be, his loss a loss to the world, so you ought to show your late father every bit of respect he deserves. He and I saw eye-to-eye on so many things, and whether you truly believe it or not, I love him truly just as he loved me.
    King Magna: Oh, I can believe it. I just don't like how you manipulated him just as you did me and everypony else!
    Queen Olympia: So, what? It was for his benefit as it was for you and mine! His dominion and legacy would had fallen to pieces before and during that detestable war with the Baleful Light without my efforts. I did only what must be done, for him, for you, for our family, for our realm and all Alicornkind...
  • Even Evil Has Standards: While ruthless and cold-blooded, she draws the line at actually causing her own young and innocent Alicorn grandchildren by her other children besides Magnus any harm, seeing that they are her own flesh and blood even if they could become a potential contender to her son Magna's place on his father's throne. She Took a Third Option and swallowed them all instead, sealing them away inside her body in a Gilded Cage with mortals and servants, letting them establish themselves as divine sovereigns watching over worshippers and subjects inside her own innards but otherwise out of her and Magna's way.
  • Evil Matriarch: She did many abhorrent and villainous things in her ruthless manipulations and scheming to have her son Magna become heir to his ruling Alicorn father's realm and become the ambitious warrior, conqueror and king she foresee he could become, even if it means doing in, sealing away or banishing other members of her own family.
  • Foil:
    • To her son Magna. Both of them are incredibly ambitious, with desires of truly world-spanning proportions, and it was Olympia's hopes her son Magna would live up to be the great ruler of empires she had a vision of him becoming and groomed/raised him into the great warrior, conqueror and king he would be towards that end. However, they significantly diverge in character and morality: The downfall of the Alicorn Civilization in the 'Twilight of the Alicorns' caused by Morning Star snapped Magna out of his previously darker mindset and became a righteous and honest leader despite still being The Conqueror who should stick to their principles even if it leads to their deaths, and believe Sapientkind desires to and should be allowed to live in freedom under an honourable rule. By contrast, Olympia was a ruthless, pragmatic and manipulative schemer who was willing to do almost anything to achieve her goals, believing the ends justifies the means, and believes Sapientkind and the world is too unruly and chaotic to be left to their own devices and could only prosper and progress under a strong, preferably divine and autocratic rule. This difference in morality and beliefs eventually led to Magna opposing Olympia and eventually sealing her away to free himself and protect the world from her ambitions.
    • To Vicearch Iniquitous: Olympia and Iniquitous are both domineering autocrats, both willing to resort to ruthless and downright evil means to achieve their ends, and both believe what they are doing is necessary because the world and its people demands rule under a ruler with implacable will and power to truly prosper, and both believe to various extents Virtue Is Weakness. And despite their calculating or inequine natures both do deep down loved their children and motivated to protect or push them to reach their full potential. They also ate and assimilated quite a number of mortals, gods and other beings as a means to an end, something which their children all inherited/imitated to various extents. However, while Olympia is insanely ruthless, she does not embrace Evil for power to the same degree as the Vicearch of Malregnar (who no doubt makes her uncomfortable despite agreeing on many things), likely due to her experiences with Morning Star and the 'Twilight of the Alicorns'. Despite becoming Evil and Vice incarnate Iniquitous actually strived to become a good parent to Her Princelings of Vice, while Olympia is willing to destroy even some of her other children (or at least put them away in case of her other grandchildren) if they prove wanting or a threat real or potential to Magna's future as heir and great ruler, not letting love stand in the way of perceived necessity even if she would feel bad about it. Also, Iniquitous never (to the readers' and the Codex researchers' knowledge) ate any of Her offsprings, while Olympia had, even if she would make their internment inside her comfortable.
    • To Changeling Emperor Blackthorn: Both of them are supremely capable and ruthless manipulative schemers who manipulated everyone and everything around them to achieve their ends. Both of them desire control over others and the world, and have even manipulated their spawns to achieve their goals - and just as willing to eliminate their family and anyone else in the way if they prove to be a threat to them and their plans. Olympia differs from Blackthorn in that she may be truly sincere about doing what she thinks is best for Magna and the world, while Blackthorn is, if nothing else could be believed, frank and honest with himself that he's doing it simply because he's an ambitious, power-hungry individual by nature.
    • To Queen Eclaira of the Shadowpact Pantheon: Both of them are beautiful as divines and used it to manipulate others, and both of them have a tendency to eat other beings for their own ends. However, for the insatiably vain and ravenous Eclaira, beauty and eating are both ends in themselves as a means to an end, while to Olympia it had always been just means. Also, Olympia appears use her beauty to manipulate and eat people less than Eclaira, often only when necessary, with her modus operandi being wider and using more means such as deceit, sealing, banishing, hexing, murder and others to achieve her ends.
  • God-Eating: Like many gods in the Codexverse - including her own son Magna, who likely got it from her - Olympia is not above devouring and sealing/assimilating other gods into herself for one reason or another. In her case, it is mostly to deal away with enemies and rivals, especially as she ruthlessly schemes and manipulates to make sure no rival could replace her son Magna as heir to his ruling Alicorn father's throne and become the warrior, conqueror and king ruling over great empires like she foresee he could. Those devoured and not assimilated into herself are reduced to being her fodder, kept within the realms deep inside her innards to eternally feed her and fuel her domains with their power and presence. Not even members of her family are safe from her gullet should she find cause to do so or finds them wanting.
    • With her divine grandchildren from her other sons and daughters' case, it was her Taking a Third Option as she can't bring herself to actually harm her own young and innocent flesh and blood, but can neither overlook the chance they could become contenders to her son Magna's place as heir to the throne in the future. Although she would devour them, she persuaded most of them this was for the best, and made their imprisonment inside her own belly a Gilded Cage by swallowing several lands' worth of mortal kingdoms and legion's worth of loyal servants who would help (and monitor) them so they could establish themselves in the realms inside her innards as divine sovereigns with worshippers and subjects to watch over. As an incidental bonus, her grandchildren, their servants and mortal worshippers/subjects would all provide more sources of power to feed upon inside her, further increasing her power for her own plans and purposes.
  • Gilded Cage: When Olympia cannot bring herself to harm her grandchildren from her other sons and daughters besides Magna, she Took a Third Option with this trope instead to get them out of her and Magna's way - swallowing and placing them in the realms deep inside her own godly innards, then consuming several lands worth of mortal kingdoms and legions worth of her mortal/celestial servants afterwards to give them worshippers/subjects to watch/rule over and help them establish themselves respectively.
  • Gruesome Grandparent: Downplayed. Olympia actually can't bring herself to harm her own young and innocent Alicorn grandchildren from her other sons and daughters, but neither could she let them become potential threats and rivals to her son Magna's future as a great ruler of empires and inheritor of his Alicorn ruling father's throne. In the end, she took a page from Cronos and sealed them away in the realms/worlds of her innards, albeit in a comfortable Gilded Cage arrangement and promising that she would one day let them out.
  • Hobbes Was Right: She does not have a very high view of mortals or even fellow gods, believing the world is a mess and the lands and races there can't rule themselves, and thus firmly believes absolute divine rule is necessary for the world to truly prosper with order and stability. Her ruthless manipulations of her ruling Alicorn husband's regime and family as well as grooming of her son to become an ambitious conqueror, warrior and king were all done to ensure her son would become the divine ruler she foreseen her son could become and that the world needs. She considers the idealistic heroes and gods to be foolish for believing the mortals can be inspired to be better and should not be controlled.
    Queen Olympia: You are a fool to think you can inspire these fickle mortals. They are sheep who are aimless without a harsh shepherd, or wolves who will ravage the sheep at a heartbeat without a shepherd to cull them. Too many times had I seen them destroying themselves and everything else thanks to the foolish among them and the corrupt who mislead them - they are better off under the rule of gods like us if they can't be trusted to rule themselves.
  • Hot Goddess: Going by her inspirations (Queen Olympias, Lady Macbeth, Mother Gothel, Livia Drusilla, etc.), Olympia is most likely stunningly beautiful even by Alicorn standards. She had been confirmed in one drabble as being beautiful, and the Alicorns are already pinnacles of Equine perfection by default. Going by her inspirations, she is probably somewhat vain about it and uses her beauty to manipulate others through their lust for her.
  • I Am a Humanitarian: Had no issues eating mortals, devouring celestials and swallowing gods alike for her own goals, purposes and needs. Those she consumed and and not assimilated into her being are reduced to fodder, kept alive inside her innards where they will become an endlessly-replenishing source of power feeding her and fueling her domains. She ate whole lands' worth of mortal kingdoms and legions of her celestial/mortal servants, just so the divine grandchildren from her other sons and daughters whom she swallowed and sealed inside herself to keep them out of her and Magna's way would have worshippers/subjects to watch over and servants to help them establish themselves (and keep an eye on them for her), all to make their imprisonment inside her body much more comfortable - and it is likely she had ate more in the past. And then there are her many rivals and enemies whom she had defeated and devoured.
  • I Did What I Had to Do: She is of this opinion to her ruthless deeds and ambitious desires for Magna and the world, wanting her son to fulfill his full potential as the great ruler of empires she foreseen and in doing so be a strong divine ruler she believes the chaotic world with its rabble of unruly mortals and even inadequate gods needs to truly prosper in order and stability.
  • Lady Macbeth: Was this to her son Magna. Foreseeing one day Magna would become a great ruler of empires, she dedicated herself to ensuring this come to pass, both to see her son fulfill his full potential and also believing the chaotic, unruly and self-destructive world could benefit from strong, orderly, autocratic divine governance. A ruthless manipulative schemer, Olympia groomed her son Magna into a warrior, conqueror and king with ambitions which rivalled her own, while she did and used many terrible things like blackmail, frameup, deceit, curses and outright murder to eliminate any rival contender to Magna as heir to his ruling Alicorn father's throne and dominion through many terrible means, even burning a rival Alicorn wife/concubine and her heir to death and swallowing and sealing away her own divine grandchildren from her other children besides Magna (though that's actually a Pet the Dog moment for her as even she couldn't bring herself to harm her young and innocent flesh and blood), all to ensure they won't get in Magna's and her way. Magna would find her deeds and view unconscionable when He eventually found out however and opposed her and her ambitions for the world.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Gender-inverted version. She used blackmail, frameups, deceits and other ruthless means to arrange things so his son would get his ruling Alicorn father's throne.
    • She persuaded two of her own young Alicorn grandchildren by her other sons and daughters (as she did others) to accept her offer to put them away 'somewhere safe' (i.e. Sealed inside her belly) so they would never be hurt again by their father (implied a decadent and abusive bastard who was corrupted by Morning Star and turned on his family and the Alicorn Civilization) and a seemingly dangerous and chaotic world, promising she will let them out when she and Magna 'put everything back into their proper place'. It should be noted she was being completely honest with them about the fact she is doing this so they won't get in her son Magna's way as rival heirs to their grandfather's throne, but admits she feels bad about it and explains that it was necessary so Magna could become the conqueror and ruler he could be who could make the world better, meaning if nothing else she might be sincere about what she was saying.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Downplayed. She did apparently feel bad about swallowing her own divine grandchildren (from her other sons and daughters besides Magna) and sealing them away in a Gilded Cage imprisonment inside her innards, but still believes it had to be done to remove any potential contenders besides Magna who could inherit the throne of her husband the ruling Alicorn king and his dominion, and sees it as a better alternative to causing their deaths as even she can't bring herself to harm her own young and innocent flesh and blood.
  • Necessarily Evil: Olympia believes herself and many of her ruthless, manipulative and generally villainous deeds as being necessary for her son Magna to become the great conqueror and ruler of empires she foreseen He could, and also to impose the strong divine rule she believes an unruly and chaotic world needed to truly prosper.
  • Offing the Offspring: Implied to have done this to some of her other sons and daughters, to get them out of her and Magna's way, although it's also implied that some of them had it coming anyways.
  • Pet the Dog: While she was more than willing to impose divine autocracy on mortals and murder rivals to her son Magna as heir to his Alicorn father's throne in cold blood, she cared about her own son and desires he fulfill his full potential as a great ruler of empires (which also fulfilling her own ambitions for the world), and also cared for her own grandchildren by her other Alicorn sons and daughters enough that rather than offing them as potential rivals, she instead sealed them inside herself with a few lands' worth of mortal kingdoms and a legion of her loyal mortal/celestial servants so they could live comfortably and have worshippers and subjects to watch and rule over inside her innards. She even still occasionally visits them with an avatar or communicate with her servants (who are also there to keep an eye on them) to make sure they're alright.
  • Stomach of Holding: While not rivalling those of Giant deities, the realms in her innards are still big enough to not only imprison her rivals and enemies, but contain several lands' worth of mortal kingdoms and legions of celestial/mortal servants for the divine grandchildren (from her other sons and daughters besides Magna) she swallowed and sealed away inside herself so they could have worshippers/subjects to watch over and servants to aid them (and monitor them for her), allowing their internment inside her belly to be more a comfortable Gilded Cage, with implied still plenty more room to spare.
  • Swallowed Whole: She took a page from Cronos and did this to her own divine grandchildren by her other sons and daughters (and likely also did it to many of her other children as well), though this was actually a Pet the Dog moment as she did it because she can't bring herself to actually harm her young and innocent flesh and blood, instead putting them away in a comfortable Gilded Cage arrangement in the realms/worlds inside her innards to get them out of her and Magna's way.
  • Villain No Longer Idle: Upon her return in the Fourth Age, her disappointment at her son for still refusing to become the strong divine autocrat necessary to bring order and stability back to the world and more convinced of her beliefs by the crises, conflicts and calamities of the ongoing 'Time of Trials', she had decided to put her hoof down and become the strong divine autocrat she believes the world needs herself.
  • Villainous Legacy: It's implied that just as her son Magna inspired the honourable, reasonable and pragmatic conqueror archetype with his character and deeds, Olympia's character and deeds also inspired the calculating, ruthless and scheming manipulator archetype which would be encapsulated by the likes of Vicearch Iniquitous, Count Dracolta (the Vampire God) and Emperor Blackthorn.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Firmly of the view that Hobbes Was Right and that the world needed strong divine rule to prosper. She also apparently loved her son Magna and wanted to make sure he would truly become the great warrior, conqueror and king she foresee he could become. Both desires drove her to ruthlessly manipulate things and do many terrible deeds to make sure her son would achieve greatness and become a divine sovereign that the world needs and requires.
  • Would Hurt a Child: She has no problem murdering a heir of a rival wife/concubine of her husband (and said wife/concubine) to death if it would ensure her son Magna would become heir to the throne of His ruling Alicorn father and his dominion. In her eyes, she probably believes she's protecting her son for His sake and for the sake of the world.
  • Wouldn't Hurt a Child: She can't bring herself to harm her own young and innocent divine grandchildren from her other Alicorn sons and daughters, even though they could grow up to become potential threats to her son Magna's inheritance and rule (She got around the problem by swallowing them and sealing them away (comfortably) in her innards instead). The key determinant as to how willing she would or wouldn't hurt children seemed to depend on their relationship to herself and Magna as well as their age/innocence and corresponding threat to her son's rise to power.

  • All-Loving Hero: Golden Scepter describes him as such.
  • Crystal Dragon Jesus: Takes inspiration from Jesus, due to Equus taking inspiration from the Judeo-Christian God, though isn't a one to one expy. His Second Age reincarnation Pure Rescue roughly equates to Jesus in the Meganian Faiths.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Sacrificed himself to spread his essence among sapientkind so they could resist his brother Teos. His Second Age Reincarnation Pure Rescue sacrificed himself to take all the world's negative karmic energy into himself and destroy it.
  • Reincarnation: Tranquil Harbor/Omega becomes his once he ascends to demi-godhood. He also reincarnated in the Second Age in the same way as Pure Rescue.
  • The Conscience: He tried to act as this for the Alicorn civilization, but they wouldn't listen. Thus he chose to act as it for mortalkind instead, who would.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: He was not happy about the corruption of the Alicorn Civilization, and openly called them out on it without hesitation. Golden Scepter noted their corruption was one of the few things that genuinely enraged him.

    Opaline Arcana 
"Time to take back what's mine!"
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/opaline_arcana_custom_2_7.png
Opaline Arcana by BrutalityInc

First mentioned in a Drabble, Opaline Arcana is an envious and conceited Alicorn hailing from the Sanctuary-Realm of Skyros like the Alicorn sisters Celestia and Luna, and is one of their most persistent enemies.


  • Adaptational Badass: Opaline Arcana demonstrates herself to be more dangerous than she had been depicted in MLP G5, having persistently threatened Celestia and Luna throughout their reigns in Equestria as well as being more successful in her schemes to seize power and rule her own kingdom as a tyrannical god-queen, even if she still often gets overthrown in the end.
  • Adaptational Sexuality: Like Celestia in canon, Opaline has shown no interest in romance or sex. Here, she's a lover of Prince Nero Jewelius Blackguard, whether sincerely or merely to manipulate him. She's also not above using sex to her advantage.
  • Ambition Is Evil: She seeks to become the most powerful Alicorn there is and lord her superiority over all others, partly to outdo Celestia and Luna as well as other Alicorns. To that end she had plotted to subvert/conquer kingdoms to rule over as well as steal/acquire magic that would make her more powerful.
  • Arch-Enemy: Opaline Arcana is one of Celestia's and Luna's most persistent enemies throughout their time outside of Skyros, often plotting to undermine and surpass them when not pursuing her own ambitions. She later grows to despise their successor Twilight as much as them.
  • Bondage Is Bad: She admits to doing this plenty of times with various partners and will drain them of their magic if they fail to satisfy her.
  • Bright Is Not Good: She has bright, purple skin and is. very much not a good person.
  • The Chessmaster: Has directly or indirectly instigated or escalated many crises and conflicts in Equestria and elsewhere as part of her plots to undermine the two sisters or seize power for herself.
  • Crazy in the Head, Crazy in the Bed: She's a conceited, ambitious and envious villainous who had plotted for centuries to gain power and undermine Celestia and Luna, but - at least according to Prince Nero Jewelius Blackguard - she's an absolute she-demon in bed.
  • Dartboard of Hate: She has one for Princess Amicitia Sparkle, throwing darts at her even as Opaline waxes about her plots to undermine her and Equestria.
  • The Determinator: She is very, VERY persistent in her ambitions and envy, having plotted to attain power and rule over others many times over centuries and had been an Arch-Enemy of the Alicorn sisters almost for as long as they had been out of Skyros.
  • Disproportionate Retribution:
    • After being overshadowed Celestia and Luna her whole life, she seeks to undermine the two sisters and everything they worked for and surpass them and every other Alicorn, extending her feud to others like Princess Amicitia when they also overshadow or got in her way.
    • She admits she would steal the magic of her lovers if they failed to satisfy her.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Part of her villainy and particular disdain for Celestia and Luna stems from resenting the siblings for being seemingly better and more celebrated than she is, especially with her lacking their talent, her parents constantly comparing her unfavourably to them, and her own achievements being constantly overshadowed by the siblings. This led to her harbouring her own ambitions as well as antagonising the sisters at every chance.
  • Green and Mean: Her hair is somewhat green, she has green gems in her crown and chest piece, and is conceited and petty.
  • The Man Behind the Man: While Prince Nero Jewelius Blackguard was able to launch his own plans for the Equestrian throne during the "Second Equestrian Civil War", much of it was only possible through his relationship with Opaline, who is not only an ancient Alicorn goddess from pre-Known History, but is also a more skilled manipulator than him.
  • Manipulative Bastard: So great was her envy and resentment towards Celestia and Luna that she tried everything to sabotage the Royal Sisters' reign over Equestria — often by instigating or exasperating whatever crises and conflicts they face. At one point, she hooked up with Prince Nero Jewelius Blackguard as part of her manipulations of the "Second Equestrian Civil War" for a possible takeover and seize more power for herself. This is literal as she actually slept with him. She also schemes to subvert and conquer other realms outside of Equestria in her own pursuit of power.
  • Playing with Fire: Comes with being a Fire Alicorn.
  • Power Parasite: She can steal power from others to make herself stronger.
  • Purple Is Powerful: She's a purple alicorn and one of Equestria's oldest enemies.
  • Red Baron: She is called "the Firemaker".
  • The Resenter: She resented being not comparable in power and talent to other more accomplished Alicorns, resented her parents constantly comparing her unfavourably to them, and most importantly resented Celestia and Luna for constantly overshadowing her. This led to her developing ambition and envy to become the greatest Alicorn there is, as well as undermine Celestia, Luna and others who got in her way at every chance.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: Like in canon, she ends up trapped in the Together Tree she planted in her own castle on New Equus in the Fifth Age. However, given her persistence many in-universe doubts that would hold her for long, and it's hinted this isn't the first time she found herself in such a situation either. In one drabble, she notes it would only take her about 2.5 years to acquire the power to free herself.
  • We Can Rule Together: She offered Celestia and Luna the opportunity to rule Equestria together, but they rejected her, not wanting a tyrant to enslave their subjects.

    Platinum Crown, the Brilliant Potentate 

Classification: Ascendant

Portfolio: Ponykind, Magic, Intellect(?), Knowledge(?) Scholars(?)

Rank: Antecedent


Platinum Crown is a member of the Alicorn Civilization, and is the older fraternal triplet brother of Emperor Golden Scepter.
  • Aloof Big Brother: Though far from the oldest sibling in his family, he is the oldest in a set of male fraternal triplets, and of the three of them, he is the most stoic and analytical.
  • Complete Immortality: He is revealed to be a 'Perpetual', a person with a mutation that grants them perpetual agelessness and Resurrective Immortality even beyond the standards of typical deities. As such, nothing can truly kill him, including being devoured by greater beings or, theoretically, being thrown into a black hole or subjected to a Sphere of Annihilation spell. The only ways he can be greviously injured is through special artifacts like the lost 'Fulgurite Lance' from the Imperium Era or the foul divine powers the Malignant Powers gave to the traitorous Golden General Aurum Lupus. It's heavily suspected In-Universe that he along with his fraternal triplet brothers, Golden Scepter and Diamond Mantle, were experimented on by their father, Profectus Equus/Iridium Signet, as part of a project he once worked on with the Fallen Empyrean, and may have created the Perpetuity mutation itself.
  • Divine Parentage: He and his triplet brothers are sons of Profectus Equus/Iridium Signet, making them related to one of the most ancient and powerful Alicorns second after King Equus himself. This also means that he's technically a 'grandson' of King Equus as well.
  • Family Theme Naming:
    • He and his younger triplet brothers, Golden Scepter and Diamond Mantle, are named after precious minerals and royal attire. In his case, his name is Platinum Crown.
    • He and his younger triplet brothers also share epithets that have light-related terms and official royal titles. In his case, his epithet is "the Brilliant Pontentate"
  • Freudian Trio: Of him and his triplet brothers, he is the Superego, being a stoic and analytical stallion. Meanwhile, Diamond Mantle is the Id, being emotional and impulsive, and Golden Scepter is the Ego who is a balance of the two personality-wise.
  • The Magnificent: Known as "the Brilliant Potentate".
  • The Maker: Alongside his triplet brothers, he would help create the three main tribes of modern Ponykind; in his case, he created the Unicorns.
  • Resurrective Immortality: Like his younger brothers Diamond Mantle and Golden Scepter, Platinum Crown is a confirmed 'Perpetual', a mortal or divine with a mutation which confers them with a form of undying nature that is this and Complete Immortality. Not only does this mean Platinum Crown and his two fraternal brothers are eternal and unchanging on a level that put even the average gods' own immortality to shame, whenever they are mortally-wounded or suffer some form of clinical death, the mysterious powers ensuring their 'Perpetuity' ensures their bodies would regenerate, repairing themselves until they are whole and healthy once more.
  • Rock Theme Naming: He shares this with his family - his name is Platinum Crown, his younger triplet brothers are Golden Scepter and Diamond Mantle, and his younger sister is Pearl Tiara. His father, Profectus Equus, averts it at first, but then his birth name turns out to be Iridium Signet.
  • Same-Sex Triplets: Subverted. He is the oldest in a set of male fraternal triplets, his younger brothers being Golden Scepter and Diamond Mantle, but they have enough traits for them to be told apart easily.
  • The Spock: From what little is seen of him, he is a stoic, calm, and analytical stallion compared to his younger fraternal triplet brothers.
  • The Stoic: Implied. From what little is seen of him, he is the least emotive compared to his younger triplet brothers.
  • Time Abyss: He's an "Antecedent"-ranked god, and he's Golden Scepter's older triplet brother, so they're both pretty ancient and eldritch-looking.
  • Winged Unicorn: He's an Alicorn, and due to being one of Golden Scepter's fraternal triplet brothers, he is likely as ancient and eldritch as him.

  • Boisterous Bruiser: Implied. When Sigmare meetes him for the first time, he's bearing an excited grin that Sigmare notes wouldn't look out of place in her most eager warriors.
  • Divine Parentage: He and his triplet brothers are sons of Profectus Equus/Iridium Signet, making them related to one of the most ancient and powerful Alicorns second after King Equus himself. This also means that he's technically a 'grandson' of King Equus as well.

    • He and his older triplet brothers, Platinum Crown and Golden Scepter, are named after precious minerals and royal attire. In his case, his name is Diamond Mantle.
    • He and his older triplet brothers also share epithets that have light-related terms and official royal titles. In his case, his epithet is "the Glittering Basileus".
  • Freudian Trio: Of him and his triplet brothers, he is the Id, being emotional and impulsive. Meanwhile, Platinum Crown is the Superego, being a stoic and analytical stallion, and Golden Scepter is the Ego who is a balance of the two personality-wise.
  • The Maker: Alongside his triplet brothers, he would help create the three main tribes of modern Ponykind; in his case, he created the Pegasi.
  • The McCoy: From what little is shown of him, he is the more excitable and emotional of his triplet brothers.
  • Meaningful Name: His name is Diamond Mantle. A diamond is a gemstone that symbolizes light, purity, sincerity, and great spiritual power. A mantle is a garment worn by royalty such as Kings, Queens, and Emperors. When Sigmare meets him for the first time, he's wearing a resplendent mantle and a helm seemingly made of diamonds.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: He is revealed to be a 'Perpetual', a person with a mutation that grants them perpetual agelessness and Resurrective Immortality even beyond the standards of typical deities. As such, nothing can truly kill him, including being devoured by greater beings or, theoretically, being thrown into a black hole or subjected to a Sphere of Annihilation spell. The only ways he can be grieviously injured is through special artifacts like the lost 'Fulgurite Lance' from the Imperium Era or the foul divine powers the Malignant Powers gave to the traitorous Golden General Aurum Lupus. It's heavily suspected In-Universe that he along with his fraternal triplet brothers, Golden Scepter and Platinum Crown, were experimented on by their father, Profectus Equus/Iridium Signet, as part of a project he once worked on with the Fallen Empyrean, and may have created the Perpetuity mutation itself.
  • Resurrective Immortality: Like his older brothers Platinum Crown and Golden Scepter, Diamond Mantle is a confirmed 'Perpetual', a mortal or divine with a mutation which confers them with a form of undying nature that is this and Complete Immortality. Not only does this mean Platinum Crown and his two fraternal brothers are eternal and unchanging on a level that put even the average gods' own immortality to shame, whenever they are mortally-wounded or suffer some form of clinical death, the mysterious powers ensuring their 'Perpetuity' ensures their bodies would regenerate, repairing themselves until they are whole and healthy once more.
  • Rock Theme Naming: He shares this with his family - his name is Diamond Mantle, his older triplet brothers are Platinum' Crown and Golden Scepter, and his younger sister is Pearl Tiara. His father, Profectus Equus, averts it at first, but then his birth name turns out to be Iridium'' Signet.
  • Same-Sex Triplets: Subverted. He is the youngest in a set of male fraternal triplets, his older brothers being Platinum Crown and Golden Scepter, but they have enough traits for them to be told apart easily.
  • Time Abyss: He's an "Antecedent"-ranked god, and he's Golden Scepter's younger triplet brother, so they're both pretty ancient and eldritch-looking.
  • Winged Unicorn: He's an Alicorn, and due to being one of Golden Scepter's fraternal triplet brothers, he is likely as ancient and eldritch as him.

    Pearl Tiara, the (WIP Title) 

Classification: Ascendant

Portfolio: [TBA]

Rank: Antecedent


  • Divine Parentage: She's the mother of King Leo, a character who meets the Mane Six in the book My Little Pony: Under The Sparkling Sea. Her lover was a Great Lion, which resulted in Leo being born a Felicorn.
  • Family Theme Naming: Like most of her family, she's named after minerals and royal attire. In her case, her name is Pearl Tiara.
  • Interspecies Romance: She sired her hybrid son, King Leo, with a Great Lion.
  • The Maker: She is the creator of the Sea Pony tribe.

    Queen Hylia, the Wise 

Classification: Elemental/Ascendant (Dead Power)

Portfolio: Wisdom, Light, Purification, Prophecy

Rank: Antecedent


A powerful Alicorn Queen from the antediluvian Alicorn Civilization. While few records remain of her, it was rumored that Hylia once entered a romantic relationship with a mortal knight, the original Gleaming Shield, who pledged his service to her. When Gleaming Shield died while fighting a war against the demon hordes, Hylia was never the same again. She was left so depressed by her loss that she prayed for them to always be together no matter what form they took, before she followed her deceased champion out of grief. From there, she would continuously reincarnate into Radiant Primrose, a mortal unicorn sorceress who would found and rule a kingdom named after her, and aid Gleaming Shield's various reincarnations in fighting evil.
  • Alternative Character Interpretation: In-universe. From what little was recorded of her, Hylia was a benevolent Alicorn Queen who genuinely loved the original Gleaming Shield, and became so depressed after losing him to demons that she shortly died of grief. Her mortal reincarnation, the first Radiant Primrose, believed that Hylia took advantage of Gleaming Shield and had him reincarnated so he could defeat the demons later, which led to a guilt-fueled Heroic BSoD.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: She's a dead Alicorn goddess who embodied Wisdom, Light, Purification, and Prophecy.
  • Broken Pedestal: The first Radiant Primrose began thinking badly of her "ancestor" when she learned of how she and Gleaming Shield came to be, causing her to wrongly think that Hylia used the original Gleaming Shield as an Unwitting Pawn.
  • Cynicism Catalyst: Justified. Because the original Gleaming Shield was her close lover, losing him to demons left her incredibly depressed, to the point where she died of grief shortly after his death.
  • Death by Despair: She died of grief shortly after losing the original Gleaming Shield to demons.
  • Deity of Human Origin: Implied; Alicorns are classified as "Ascendant" deities, so she might have been mortal once.
  • Divine Date: With the original Gleaming Shield, a mortal knight. This led to problems when Gleaming Shield was killed by demons during a war, causing her to die of grief. It's believed by her fellow Alicorns that falling in love with a mortal was the only mistake she ever made.
  • Expy: Of the goddess Hylia from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Aside from sharing names and being goddesses, this Hylia also shares the manga backstory of having known the original Gleaming Shield/Link during a time when the world was overrun by demons, and having started the cycle of reincarnation out of grief when their chosen champion dies. Unlike Manga!Hylia, however, Hylia genuinely loved Gleaming Shield and didn't manipulate him into becoming strong enough to be her champion against the demons - the manipulative part was apart of a false assumption made by her first mortal incarnation, Radiant Primrose.
  • The High Queen: From what was implied in Radiant Primrose and Gleaming Shield's entries, she was a wise and just queen
  • The Magnificent: Known as "the Wise" thanks to her magical foresight and her streak of good decisions. It's implied that some of her fellow Alicorns believe that the only mistake she made was falling in love with a mortal, the original Gleaming Shield.
  • Manipulative Bastard: The first Radiant Primrose wrongly assumed that the reason why she and her friend Gleaming Shield were reincarnated was because Hylia wanted a way to defeat the demons once and for all, making Gleaming Shield an Unwitting Pawn. This caused Radiant Primrose to suffer a Heroic BSoD, believing that she's guilty of the same thing due to being her "descendant".
  • Posthumous Character: Being the 'ancestor' of every mortal incarnation of Radiant Primrose, a unicorn Queen with divine powers, she is long dead before the start of the story.
  • Reincarnation Romance: She's the reason why Gleaming Shield and Radiant Primrose often share a close relationship in their many lifetimes. After losing the original Gleaming Shield in a war against demons, Hylia prayed for them to always be together no matter what form they took. This resulted in her mortal reincarnations, Radiant Primrose, becoming the "Eternal Love" for the various Gleaming Shields that would pop up time and time again.
  • Seers: Was recorded to have powerful foresight, which was how she was able to keep up a long streak of good decisions. It is believed by her fellow Alicorns that the only "mistake" she ever did was falling in love with a mortal.
  • Related in the Adaptation: A canonized Codexverse quote heavily implies that she is one of Golden Scepter's younger sisters who fell during the "Twilight of the Alicorns" event, technically making Radiant Primrose his "niece" due to being her many-times reincarnation. She had no such relations in the original canon she came from.
  • Sins of Our Fathers: Hylia's actions, though done purely out of love, left a bad impression on her mortal reincarnation, the first Radiant Primrose. Due to coming up with the wrong conclusion about Hylia's actions, she genuinely believed herself to be just as guilty by virtue of being 'related' to Hylia. She eventually got over it thanks to Gleaming Shield's encouragement and forgiveness.
  • Star-Crossed Lovers: Her lover, the original Gleaming Shield, was killed while fighting in a war against demons, causing her to die of grief shortly after. Even if it didn't happen, Gleaming Shield would've surely died of old age while Hylia lived on, due to her being an immortal Alicorn.
  • Winged Unicorn: Much like the people of the Alicorn Civilization, Hylia was one when she was alive.

    Grand Queen Macromega, the Gargantuan Greatness 
First mentioned in a Drabble, Grand Queen Macromega is one of the eldest daughters of Gigan Equus and is the vain, voluptuous and voracious mother goddess of the Orthoequids family of upright-walking anthropomorphic Equids among the Equid races, who all take after her in various ways.
  • The Assimilator: Mentioned to be voracious, and from her quote she had consumed and absorbed countless beings in order to add whatever real or perceived traits and greatness they have for herself.
  • Big Beautiful Woman: Being stated to be voluptuous, she is extremely beautiful whether by Orthoequid standards or beyond it, and is the size of a mountain range in her true form.
  • Big Eater: Noted to be voracious, meaning that she is this even by Giant divine standards as Giant deities have this by default. Indeed, her Drabble noted that she had devoured entire civilizations, races, pantheons, worlds and planes and assimilate everyone and everything she consumed in her vanity, gluttony and lust.
  • Beast Man: The ancient Monster Progenitor of Orthoequids, the in-universe example of this trope for Equids. Note that since she and her upright-walking Equid races predate Humanity by tens of millions of years, modern designation pegs them as ORTHO-Equids instead of say ANTHRO-Equids.
  • The Hedonist: Mentioned to be voluptuous, which on top of attractive looks could also mean being characterised by sensual pleasure and desire for luxury. It's mentioned in her Drabble that she has an all-devouring craving for gratification as much as greatness, to the point of having her way with entire worlds and planes.
  • Large and in Charge: As one of Gigan Equus' oldest scions, she is probably the size of a mountain range in height. She has has the title of 'Grand Queen' and is the Top God of the Orthoequid races.
  • I Am a Humanitarian: Like Giants, she shows no reservations to eating those smaller than herself. Owing to her age and to being voracious even by Giant standards, it's mentioned that she had devoured and assimilated uncountable quintillions of beings.
  • Monster Progenitor: She is the mother goddess of the Orthoequid family of Equid races and likely the first of their kind.
  • Our Giants Are Different: She is a scion of Gigan Equus, and one of the eldest ones at that, so it's a given. It's implied that even the smallest Orthoequids are enormous by normal Equid and other non-Giant races' standards.
  • Time Abyss: She's mentioned to be one of Gigan Equus' eldest scions. With the Thirteen Empyreans being around since the dawn of Equidkind, it is entirely possible Macromega is a Preeminent-tier deity more than 50 million years old.

    Morning Star, the Light of Perfection/the Baleful Light/'The Devil' 

Classification: Ethereal/Ascendant

Portfolio: Perfection, Potential, Beauty, Light, Pride, Evil, Corruption

Rank: Antecedent

"Perfection stands alone. And the light of my radiant perfection will ascend until it is above even the stars themselves!"

The adopted scion of Clara Equus, the First Empyrean herself, Morning Star is an evil Alicorn who came from the fabled Alicorn Civilization, and whose name echoed unto eternity with his nefarious deeds when he became a Fallen deity and brought ruin to the Alicorn Civilization, the world and beyond in his twisted obsession to remake existence in his 'perfect' image and stand above it as its ultimate deity. He is techincally Luminiferous's 'biological' father due to having cloned him from his own corrupted Primordial Quintessence.
  • The Ace: Implied. Golden Scepter mentions that he was "among the greatest of us, or perhaps even the greatest of us all. There was NOTHING he could not say, NOTHING he could not think, and NOTHING he could not do." It's deconstructed in that because of this, no one, not even Golden Scepter himself (despite his efforts), noticed how Morning Star was becoming more and more corrupt until, in Temnobog's words, he snapped and tried subjugating Equus and the surrounding universe to his own twisted ideas of perfection.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: He's an Alicorn god who initially embodied Perfection, Potential, Beauty, and Light. After his corruption and Fall, the domains of Pride, Evil, and Corruption were added to his portfolio.
  • Archnemesis Dad: Luminiferous's heroic and loving upbringing caused him to reject his origins as Morning Star's weapon, causing him to become an enemy of his father. Despite attempts to make him have a Heel Realization, his father was too prideful to admit his own mistakes and loneliness, forcing Luminiferous to kill him.
  • Broken Ace: What he had been reduced to by the time Luminiferous finally put him out of his misery, having by the time of their final confrontation had been degraded to little more than a "tired, maimed, miserable old Alicorn who couldn't find joy in anything but revenge." in Luminiferous' words. This is in part circumstantial, having suffered countless defeats and setbacks, as well as self-inflicted from mutilating his own essence in his obsession to rid himself of his own imperfections and corrupting what's left. Deep down he knows this and Luminiferous did saw how much he missed being what he was and how much he wanted to just go home - but his pride is simply too monstrous for him to ever admit it and repent, leading to his final demise.
  • Civil War: Kicked-started one among the Alicorn Civilization. This conflict ended up lasting over ten Ages (Roughly 100,000 years) and devastated both the Alicorns and the rest of the world.
  • The Corrupter: In the Codexverse's version of the Garden of Eden story, he tried to do this to Peachy and Chestnut, the first Ponies, in order to prove to Golden Scepter and his siblings who created them that they are flawed creations, disguising himself as a serpent and tempting them into eating the Fruit of Knowledge against Golden Scepter's explicit rule not to do so. To his surprise and frustration, they apologize and accept responsibility for their actions, thus passing the Secret Test of Character Golden Scepter had set up from the very beginning.
  • Deity of Human Origin: He's implied to have once been mortal, as Alicorns in general are labeled as "Ascendant deities". The fact that he became a Fallen Alicorn later on out of pride shows how utterly removed he is from his humble origins.
  • Depraved Bisexual: Like many Alicorns in his time, he was bisexual, and had a lot of male and female partners. He sired Rose Regalia with Silk Dawn, the daughter of Urun, the Light Primeval, and according to one Codex drabbles, Emperor Golden Scepter was one of his ex-lovers. He gradually became so egotistical that he did many horrible things to make himself the Ultimate Lifeform, and ultimately died a monster that would be seen and reviled as a Devil-like figure for countless Ages to come.
  • The Dreaded: For a Fallen god, he was so wicked and vile that many of his atrocities still persisted in the form of legends that got distorted over time, and those deities who managed to live up to the present day could still recount what he was like when he was alive. It's also for this reason that many hated and/or distrusted Luminiferous for being a splitting image of him, even though Luminiferous is genuinely benevolent and thus had nothing to do with his "father"'s crimes. Golden Scepter, who was one of his many ex-lovers, hated Luminiferous for the same reason until he realized the latter is not his clone-sire. Note, the civil war he started lasted Ages.
  • Expy:
    • He's largely based on the Fallen Angel, Lucifer, who in Biblical lore was one of God's angels before he betrayed the latter out of arrogance.
    • His backstory also includes many elements from Belial from Ultraman Geed, who is also a prideful Satanic Archetype.
    • It is revealed in his obsession with being perfect and destroying his enemies among the Alicorn civilization, he had removed many 'imperfect' parts of himself, many of whom become his scions and among Luminiferous' 'imperfect' siblings, until his soul is in Luminiferous' words "a barely stable mass of scar tissue". This makes Morning Star resemble Voldemort from Harry Potter in many ways, whose obsession with immortality, power and hatred for Muggles also caused him to mutilate his soul in the same way and in the process degrade himself into a pitiful monster who upon his final demise suffered a Fate Worse than Death because of it.
  • Fatal Flaw: Pride, just like Satan himself. Morning Star saw himself as the epitome of perfection, and sought to conquer and remake the world/universe in his image. The fact that Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, one of Pokhot's divine sons, also embodies Pride yet uses it for "constructive Evil" has caused Golden Scepter to see him as a Superior Successor to Morning Star, noting that if Morning Star had done the same thing, the Alicorns would have prospered instead of stagnated. When Stoltur heard of Morning Star's crimes and other depravities through Golden Scepter's stories, he was so horrified that he swore never to let himself become as depraved and selfish as the Fallen Alicorn god.
  • God of Evil: After his Fall, Morning Star was this, and widely considered one of the most infamous 'Fallen Deities' of Equus due to how much destruction and death he caused to satisfy his own ego. Notably, Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, one of Pokhot's divine sons and a God of Evil himself, was so horrified by Golden Scepter's stories of Morning Star's atrocities that he would suffer from nightmares for a while, and swore never to let himself become as depraved, cruel, and selfish as him. Golden Scepter also notes that if he actually used his Evil nature for constructive purposes, Morning Star would have helped the Alicorn Civilization prosper instead of destroying it, hence why Golden Scepter sees Stoltur as Morning Star's Superior Successor.
  • Götterdämmerung: Caused one for the antediluvian Alicorn Civilization, which having achieved unparalleled success for eons had began to fall into stagnation, complacency and arrogance, blinding them to the corruption that led to Morning Star coming about in the first place.
  • Happily Adopted: He was an orphan Alicorn colt who was adopted by none other than Clara Equus. This become considerably less happy following his Fall.
  • Hated by All:
    • Being one of the most infamous Fallen deities ever to exist, he is universally hated by both mortal and divine sapientkind. Golden Scepter, who fought Morning Star's faction for ten Ages, would suffer from untreated PTSD to the point where he sometimes had nightmares and hallucinations about his Arch-Enemy long after the latter's death, and he would only get treatment in the Fourth Age after Mentálne was born. Luminiferous would travel all over Equus to make up for his father's sins, and because he is an exact physical copy of Morning Star, having been cloned originally to serve as Morning Star's weapon, many people, including Golden Scepter himself, mistook him for the real deal and hated him for it, until they saw his true personality. Even Stoltur Skjöldur, one of Pokhot's infernal sons who embodies Evil and Pride, hated Morning Star for being a prime example of "careless/destructive Evil" that his family bitterly opposes, and was so horrified upon hearing Golden Scepter's stories of Morning Star that he swore never to stoop to his level.
    • The one possible exception is his adopted mother, Clara Equus, who did genuinely love him as her son and still does, but acknowledges he'd become a monster who had to be put down.
  • Hidden Depths: Beneath all his rage and pride, Luminiferous in his final battle against him saw that Morning Star was tired of his endless quest for revenge and just wanted to go home. Unfortunately, he was simply too monstrously proud to admit it or give up, so Luminiferous couldn't get through to him and was forced to put him down.
  • How the Mighty Have Fallen: Suffered this hard over the course of ten Ages of brutal war against his own people and the rest of the world, on top of self-inflicted corruption and mutilation of his own existence in his self-hatred of his Alicorn nature and obsession with being 'perfect'. At the start he was a paragon among Alicorns who was so brilliant, so mighty, so perfect that it was believed there was nothing he couldn't accomplish, no heights he cannot reach. But by the end of it all he was little more than a miserable, tired, hateful and broken shadow of his former self who Luminiferous would put out of his misery.
  • Irony: It is established that the terrible deeds of Morning Star have massive consequences for the world and many characters up until the present day, and a significant part of his motive comes from wanting to be acknowledged by everyone and everything that he is perfect and superior to every-pony else. By the Fourth Age, however, barely any-pony outside academics, demons and immortals remember he even existed. This is seen as both comedic and tragic in-universe.
  • Karmic Death:
    • He created Luminiferous as a weapon to help carry out his revenge against the Alicorns who exiled him for his crimes, and to help him dominate and remake the world as he saw fit. He ended up being killed by Luminiferous, who had the fortune of being raised by a loving family that influenced him to reject his origins as his father's weapon.
    • His ego was so great that according to Golden Scepter, being simply The Ace among Alicornkind was not enough, so he sought to become "the greatest being there ever was" at all costs, causing the destruction of the Alicorn Civilizations as well as millions of both mortal and divine casualties. Instead, as Golden Scepter also notes, he committed so many horrific crimes that after his death, he instead became the greatest example of what not to do as a god. Pokhot found this absolutely hilarious.
  • Killed Off for Real: His clone/son Luminiferous killed him off aeons ago in their final confrontation at the very end of the 'Twilight of the Alicorns'.
  • Meaningful Name: Morning Star is Lucifer aka Satan's name in Latin.
  • Narcissist: Believes himself to be perfect and wishes to remake the whole world and cosmos in his own twisted image. He became such a monster in his self-absorbed obsession with his perfect greatness he disgusts even evil narcissistic perfectionists deities of later eras, such as Pokhot, the Damsel of Desire and one of her sons Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, both of whom find the evils committed in his pride and ego hilarious or horrific respectively.
  • The Paragon Always Rebels: Golden Scepter mentions that he was "among the greatest of us, or perhaps even the greatest of us all". But as the Alicorns began to fall into stagnation, complacency, and arrogance, Morning Star's worst flaws became so prominent that he saw fit to try subjugating Equus and its surrounding universe to his own twisted ideas of perfection. By the time everyone realized what was going on, it was too late, resulting in the fall of the Alicorn Civilization.
  • Patricide: How he died. Once he proves himself to be too stubborn to admit his mistakes and loneliness, and too deep in his hatred to be redeemed, Luminiferous dove in for the kill and ended his life for the good of Equus. Luminiferous later revealed that his decision to kill his father was partially motivated out of desire to give him a Mercy Kill - in his hatred, Morning Star created many 'children' to carry out his mad plans by ripping out portions of his Primordial Quintessence. The fact that he had done it so quickly without giving himself time to heal proved extremely detrimental, as by the time he fought his last battle with Luminiferous, his soul was reduced to a barely stable mass of scar tissues.
  • Pieces of God: Morning Star, like the rest of the Alicorn race, is a Physical God. This makes many of his 'Imperfect' children (siblings of Luminiferous) this trope, having been made - or rather ripped out - from Morning Star's Primordial Quintessence core in his obsession to make himself 'perfect' and create new minions and weapons (whom he detested) to destroy his enemies. This proved detrimental to the state of Morning Star as this self-mutilation damaged his soul until it was little more than a 'barely-stable mass of scar tissues', weakening him enough that Luminiferous would finally be able to put him out of his misery.
  • Posthumous Character: He died at Luminiferous's hooves long before the Known Ages started. However, because of the various crimes and other horrific depravities he committed throughout his life, he still managed to be remembered by some mortals and divines even in the present day, hundreds of thousands of years later. Pokhot would lampshade this in a canonized Codexverse drabble.
    Pokhot: It's amazing... Morning Star has been dead for centuries, MILLENNIA even. And yet, even in the present day, he STILL manages to be remembered by many. I'm utterly gobsmacked as to HOW he pulled off such a feat.
  • Satan: He's the Codex equal of Satan/Lucifer/the Devil, right down to filling the role in the Church of Equus/Megannian faiths and known as the Devil. Golden Scepter notes that he was The Ace among Alicornkind. But as the Alicorns started to fall into stagnation and arrogance, so did Morning Star, until finally he snapped and started remaking Equus and the universe in his own image. This kick-started a ten Ages-long civil war that tore the Alicorns apart and destroyed their once-successful civilization, leaving its population drastically lowered and humbled.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Relatively speaking. In-universe he's been dead for so long that only some mortals and divines still remember him with clarity by the Fourth Age. Even when he was remembered as a Devil figure in many cultures back in the 'Second Age', many details apparently became distorted and/or forgotten, even his name. On both in- and out-universe he doesn't even have his own 'Codex Equus' entry. Yet even so, it's made abundantly clear that he was a pretty big deal back in his day, with all the damage he caused over Ten Ages of conflict bringing down the Alicorn Civilization and causing significant traumas on both the world and the survivors. Even if he is doomed to be forgotten and his legacies erased over time like every other being throughout time and space, the repercussions of his actions will reverberate pass present day and beyond, for both good or ill.
  • Snakes Are Sinister: In the Codexverse version of the Garden of Eden story, Morning Star, then still the unfallen Light of Perfection, tempted the first Ponies Peachy and Chestnut into disobeying their creator Golden Scepter's one rule and eat from the Tree of Knowledge, trying to prove to Golden Scepter and his siblings that their creation was flawed. To his surprise and frustration, Golden Scepter judged they were not after they accepted responsibility for their wrongdoing and explaining why they did so, earning his forgiveness and passing his Secret Test of Character.
  • Sympathy for the Devil: The fact he WAS the Devil for the Codexverse aside, Luminifeorus pitied him for what he reduced to from the heights that he once stood and fell from - all of which was Morning Star's own doing.
  • Ultimate Life Form: According to Golden Scepter, his ego was such that being simply The Ace among Alicornkind wasn't enough, so he sought to become the greatest being there ever was, "Equus be damned". Ironically, because of his very long list of crimes, he instead became the greatest example of what not to do for deities in general long after his death. Pokhot finds this absolutely hilarious.
  • Villainous Legacy: Although long dead, the fallout of his actions would resonate across time to present day and beyond.
    • The destruction of the antediluvian Alicorn Civilization forced its remnants into total seclusion from the rest of the world to recover. This explains why the Alicorns are no longer around in meaningful numbers in canon, save for a few who left or stayed behind.
    • The birth of Luminiferous. Despite his origins as a living weapon, he would grow up with a loving family, who influenced him to become a hero instead. After defeating and killing his father, he would wander the world, helping to raise individuals with potential to greatness and fighting evils threatening Equus as a way to 'make up' for all the damage Morning Star caused.
    • Before Luminiferous, Morning Star created many 'incomplete' and 'flawed' Divine children and minions who would continue to cause trouble for Equus in the ages to come, which Luminiferous would spend a lot of time hunting down and defeating. However, not all of his divine children were bad, as Morning Star indirectly created the Glow sisters, who would play an important role in the battle against the Void Sovereign.
    • Golden Scepter, one of the antediluvian Alicorn rulers who survived the war, stayed behind to help Equus, and its mortal and divine residents rebuild, which ultimately led to the creation of the Imperium of Ponykind civilization of yore. Unfortunately, the traumas he would suffer as a result of fighting Morning Star for ten Ages, with no one to properly help him deal with them, would bring out many of his worst traits and deeply affect his judgement. This led to him making terrible mistakes that ultimately caused him to be gravely wounded and sealed away in stasis, while his "Golden Imperium" (as jokingly called by Pony historians and academics) crumbled and collapsed.
    • Prince Stoltur Skjöldur, one of Pokhot's divine sons and the living embodiment of Pride, would become so horrified by Golden Scepter's stories of Morning Star's atrocities that he swore never to become like him, using him as an example of what not to do as a "constructive" Evil god.
  • We Used to Be Friends: Pre-Fall, he was one of Golden Scepter's lovers. That went completely out the window when he became a Fallen Alicorn in his pursuit of 'perfection' kicking off a devastating civil war that lasted for ten Ages and harming those close to Golden Scepter out of spite.
  • Winged Unicorn: He is described as a Fallen Alicorn god by various Codexverse entries, drabbles, and quotes. Judging from Luminiferous' exact physical similarities to him, he once looked more like his people, but his fall into corruption and villainy turned him into a Nightmarified Alicorn, explaining why Luminiferous is often mistaken for him.

    Prime Grimoire, the Author of Tragedies 

Classification: Ascendant

Portfolio: Stories, Writing, Tragedies

Rank: Antecedent(?)/Preeminent(?)

"A story is only beautiful because it has an ending. A life is at its most beautiful when it meets death!"

Prime Grimoire (first introduced here) is the Alicorn god of Stories, Writing, and Tragedies, and is a Fallen son of Omnia Equus whose end-goal is to write a tragic "end" for not only the world, but also the entire surrounding universe.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: He's an Alicorn god who embodies Stories, Writing, and Tragedies.
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality: While undoubtedly villainous, he operates with a writer's mindset. Despite having the power and opportunity to destroy the world with just a few written words, he chose not to do it because it'd be "anti-climatic". Instead, he set up a Final Battle between himself and the heroes to give a satisfying conclusion even though he gave the heroes a chance to defeat him.
    Princess Amicitia Sparkle Equestria: I don't get it, he has everything he needs, why isn't he trying to destroy the world yet?
    Emperor Golden Scepter: Because he's an author, that'd be too anti-climatic.
  • Divine Parentage: His mother is Omnia Equus, the third-born of the Thirteen Empyreans.
  • Evil Counterpart: To Creative Fire, who is his brother by adoption. For bonus points, Creative Fire has similar domains as him, but played a huge role in his defeat and sealing.
  • Face–Heel Turn: He was originally a benevolent god whose job is to record Equus' tragedies. Then he started believing that every possible story was already written, which made him a target for Fegrð and his manipulations. Now believing that a story and life's only purpose is to end tragically, he betrayed his family and joined the Children of the Void, intent on killing everything in the universe.
  • Like Father, Unlike Son: He is presently a Fallen god who went mad after being corrupted by Fegrð, and became an Omnicidal Maniac who inflicts death and suffering for the sake of giving all a "most beautiful" ending. His mother, Omnia Equus, is a benevolent, heroic goddess whose duty is to record the past, present, and future of the world. Notably, after his sealing, Omnia kept his book prominently displayed in her library as an eternal reminder of why she must never lose track of the importance of recording Equus' history.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: Originally, he was a god whose task was to write and record the various tragedies that occurred throughout Equus' past, present, and future. After Fegrð corrupted him, he went mad and started inflicting death and suffering, believing everything is preordained and life is at its most beautiful when it dies tragically. This prompted Omnia Equus to seal him away inside his own book, despite being clearly torn up over it.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: He was sealed away in his own book within the Equus Memory by Omnia Equus. Despite not wanting to, Omnia did it to protect everyone else, and keeps her wayward son's book prominently displayed in her library as an eternal reminder of the importance of her duties as Equus' historian.
  • Winged Unicorn: He's an Alicorn, likely of an early Equine race.

    Magus Equus, the Magician of Potential 

Classification: Ascendant/Ethereal

Portfolio: Magic, Equality, Potential

Rank: Preeminent

Affiliation: Empyreanae, Grand Primevals (Tuzu), Church of the Stars


Magus Equus (first introduced here) is the Alicorn god of Magic, Equality, and Potential, and one of Mana Equus' oldest sons.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: He's an Alicorn god who embodies Magic, Equality, and Potential.
  • The Archmage: Not only is he a god of Magic, but he's also an exceptionally powerful spellcaster thanks to the tutoring he received from his adoptive mother, Mana Equus.
  • Deity of Human Origin: He was originally a mortal Mesohippus Equid who, thanks to Mana Equus, defied his former realm's misandrist beliefs and Ascended to godhood, becoming the Alicorn god of Magic, Equality, and Potential.
  • Divine Parentage: He is an older son of Mana Equus, who adopted him after she destroyed his homeland for its corruption and abusive misandry.
  • Fate Worse than Death: This is what Magus' fate would've been if his realm's misandrist leaders successfully caught him — permanently stripped of his great magical potential, reducing him to a slave lower than even the lowest mare or filly, with his only purposes in life being a Baby Factory and a laborer as stallions were barred from wielding magic or having political power. Fortunately, he was able to get to a temple in time and pray to Mana Equus for help, saving him from a torturous existence.
  • Happily Adopted: Despite not being related to Mana Equus by blood, he is quite happy with his adoption as Mana Equus was a far better parent and teacher than the misandrist mares who essentially tried to enslave him on account of his gender. When Mana Equus died, he was devastated, but ultimately found the strength to keep going.
  • The Magnificent: Known as "the Magician of Potential".
  • Time Abyss: As a Mesohippus Alicorn and an older member of the Empyreanae, he is millions of years old. This makes him incredibly eldritch and powerful and divine standards, due to deities "growing" by getting Stronger with Age.

    King Equus, Father of All Equines/Equinekind 

Classification: Ascendant

Portfolio: Equinekind

Rank: TBA


An extremely ancient god who was responsible for birthing all of sapient Equinekind, including the Alicorns, who became the greatest of his mortal/immortal children. He has been the central focus of worship among mortals; one in particular is legendary Second-Age musician, Blue Suede Heartstrings, who remained devoutly religious even after Ascending and becoming the Alicorn god of Music and Humility.
  • Armor-Piercing Question: During his confrontation with Atlocard, he provides several Armor Piercing Responses to the Super Vampire's beliefs about him, but the biggest comes with two questions in a row that he really can't answer and ultimately leave him open to a Heel Realization.
    King Equus: You have companions, don't you?
    Atlocard: Oh, didn't you get the memo? I hated everyone equally.
    King Equus: If that is so, would you have turned your Sire and followed your master's orders, despite all the trouble you caused them out of amusement?
  • Blind Obedience: Subverted HARD. As Terran Prince Written Word pointed out to a wayward sect worshipping him, unlike what some Second Age Magnean Religions and Fourth Age Meganian Religions preached, King Equus wanted his mortal children to think for themselves and take the effort and responsibility to learn from the world and from their own deeds and follies, and in doing so better themselves and the world. He would had been disappointed at those who preached blind, unthinking devotion to him in the name of dogma and demagoguery. As Equus himself points out, his commandments to his devoted generally amount to 'don't be an evil flankhole.'
    Prince Written Word: The King in Heaven that you worshipped... he does NOT demand blind obedience. He is not a harsh slave-master or robot-maker who wants his keep creation ignorant, childlike and compliant to his whims and wishes. He wanted his children to think for themselves, to take the effort and responsibility to learn from the world and from their own deeds and follies, and in doing so, become better, and make the world a better place. He was a parent who wanted his children to grow up, and be able to find their own way in the world... let this be how he is revered.
  • Divine Parentage: He created the Thirteen Empyreans in his efforts to make Equinekind sapient, making them his 'biological' children. This means that whatever children the Empyreans themselves have are technically his grandchildren and great(s)-grandchildren, which includes Emperor Golden Scepter and his sons, the Terran Princes, who are specifically descended from Profectus Equus/Iridium Signet, one of the Empyreans.
  • The Evils of Free Will: Inverted: while he acknowledges free will allows for evil and suffering to exist, he also acknowledges without it, his creations wouldn't be able to give him or each other the companionship he wanted them to.
  • Greater-Scope Paragon: Being the benevolent parental deity who provolved and propagated sapient Equidkind, he is arguably one of the most consequential Greater-Scope Paragon of the entire Codexverse, and certainly was this for the antediluvian Alicorn Civilization and modern day Ponykind.
  • God Is Flawed:
    • He is strongly believed by Prince Written Word to be this. Due to both witnessing his divine father's flaws up close and his own experiences with demons masquerading as "benevolent" deities, Written Word doesn't believe that Equus isn't as perfect as his worshipers make him out to be. Thus, he is utterly baffled when Blue Suede Heartstrings chooses to continue worshiping Equus despite knowing the latter is flawed. Blue explains that even if he is flawed, Equus always tries to better himself no matter what, which gives him hope that he can still be humble even when he is tempted by sin.
      Blue Suede Heartstrings: (to Prince Written Word) The King in Heaven might be flawed, yes, but it's likely that He always tries to be good, no matter what. And if He can try, then we can try, too. That's why I still follow Him. I might not always be humble, but the King gives me hope that I can still stay true to myself even when I am tempted.
    • Clara Equus (the very first sapient Equid he ever made) later confirms this viewpoint: She has stated her creator was not perfect and made mistakes, yet stresses the fact he was a good person who genuinely cared for his creations regardless.
    • He flat out tells Atlocard he's no more perfect than anyone, showing he himself is aware of this.
  • God Is Good: While not perfect, everyone who knows him has stated he was genuinely good and cared for his creations. Mana Equus outright states the meaning of equidkind's existence is companionship, both to Equus himself and each other. By King Equus's own admission, most of his actual orders and commandments to his creations amount to 'don't be an evil flankhole.'
  • I Just Want to Have Friends: The entire reason why he uplifted all equine species; according to those who knew him closely like the Empyreans and his followers, he granted Equinekind sapience because he was the first equid to come into being as a sapient creature, and thus desired companionship. Despite being saddened by his 'children' constantly choosing to become wicked, he does not desire to make them 'perfect' followers of his will as some people believe, because to do so is to gain slaves, not friends.
  • In-Series Nickname: Blue Suede Heartstrings, one of his faithful devotees, calls him "The King" or, more frequently, "The King in Heaven". The Terran Princes have also referred to him as "Great Maker" occasionally.
  • The Maker: He's responsible for creating all of Equinekind by giving them their sapience. According to his first creations, the Thirteen Empyreans, Equus did this because being the first and only one of his kind was extremely lonely and he wanted not only companionship, but for his creations to seek it in each other. It is from him that the Thirteen Empyreans and their own children/grandchildren would help create various species of Equines.
  • Meaningful Name: His name refers to an entire category of Equine species that includes horses, ponies, donkeys, and zebras. Ironically, as pointed out in a conversation, he actually predates that genus by millions of years, meaning it's more likely named after him.
  • The Meaning of Life: This is eventually given at least for equidkind in regards to the purpose Equus had for making them: according to Mana Equus, his thirteenth creation, the answer is companionship. Both for Equus himself and one another. When Twilight tells her her friends and loved ones are the only thing she needs to be happy, Mana Equus considers that 'the right answer' and 'what it's always been about.' Thus, as far as equids are concerned, the meaning of life is 'each other.'
  • The Older Immortal: He predates all other equine gods, even his first creations the Thirteen Empyreans.
  • Religion Is Wrong: A LOT of Magnean and Meganian religions worshipping him got what he is and what he wanted out of Equidkind so utterly wrong it beggars belief. For one, while old and powerful he isn't omnipotent nor omniscient, and is imperfect to hoof. He is also even more benevolent than what the churches and sects often preach him to be, being a fatherly figure who want his mortal children to make friends, accept each others' differences, take responsibility for their own actions, and generally grow up to be better people who would better the world, instead of being a divine tyrant who demand blind devotion and obediance from his children, persecute those who deviate from arbitrary cultural standards, encourage worshippers to shove their own responsibilities to him or other higher powers, and being self-righteous flankholes in general. Equus himself points out all he really asks of his devote is 'be friends with each other' and 'don't be evil flankholes.'
  • Shrouded in Myth:
    • Very little is known about him for someone as consequential as he is, he whose guidance led to the rise of Ponykind itself along with all their relative/sibling species like the Alicorns. All we know so far comes from tidbits of information here and there found in other entries of him and his actions. Even information regarding what happened to him is not widely known. But one thing is certain: He was a VERY big deal, and time will tell just how big that deal is.
    • While meeting with Atlocard, he flat out says a lot of people's beliefs in him are due to this trope, rather than what's actually true.
  • Time Abyss: While not as ancient as the Grand Primevals, he's still extremely long-lived and powerful in his own right. He had created all of Equinekind, including the Alicorns, who would become the greatest of his mortal/immortal children.
  • Winged Unicorn: When the Church of the Stars' divine members show Princess Twilight/Amicitia Sparkle their memories, Equus shows up in Golden Scepter's, appearing as a powerful and ancient Alicorn stallion with eight wings who's standing alongside Golden Scepter and Ascending Dawn. Kendell2 confirms that he is indeed an Alicorn when asked by another Codexverse writer. It's later noted, however, that he predated the equine genus by about 50 million years, and while still an Alicorn, likely more accurately resembled a bigger, taller proportioned version of the extinct Eohippus/Hyracotherium species in his true form.
