Special Cases/Other

Citadel of the Heart holdovers

Emissary Lady Sigma

• Adaptational Villainy: Her free will in this version allows her to act as she would normally had it not been for the major Restraining Bolt she has in canon.
• Ambiguously Brown: Her human form has very dark skin, golden eyes, but otherwise resembles a Russian woman more than anything else in terms of overall appearance. Her accent isn't from any noticeably obvious ethnicity, though, only the sound of a stereotypical noble if anything.
• Armor-Piercing Attack: Her Ultimate Ouryuken move, capable of shattering virtually any form of armor or barrier like it was glass upon a direct hit. Kudos to also being treated as such in the video games.
• Brawn Hilda: She looks no different from any other Alphamon in the Digimon franchise, but is classified as female. Her human form she assumes at times actually looks like a very dark skinned Russian woman.
• Dual Wielding: She uses the Ouryuken as two blades simultaneously, which to some may initially seem out of nowhere, but actually holds basis in Digimon World 4, in which Alphamon's strongest weapons were a dual set of the Ouryuken. Alphamon wasn't even the only Digimon to have their actual weaponry in said game amplified to dual wielding, either, as Imperialdramon FM and PM, as well as MetalGarurumon X had their weapons relegated to such as well.
• Equal-Opportunity Evil:
  • She doesn't discriminate amongst her own kind, contrary to what Duftmon would want you to think. Hence why she hires BanchoLeomon so quickly in the aftermath of her first major appearance. In theory this could even apply to the main protagonists or other antagonists, so long as they know one simple thing in the process. If they choose to serve her, their soul(s) become officially hers alone.
  • She does, however, allow Mega Level Digimon to outright keep their current form if they officially graduate to a member of the Royal Knights among her guards. This results in Digimon who, as a species-wide case of not normally being Royal Knights, to individuals of those species being considered Royal Knights in this incarnation. Usually when a new member takes the form of a Royal Knight, it's because they tend to not already have a Mega Level form for themselves as it stands once they're promoted. Dynasmon had his form picked for him specifically because as a reborn Wizardmon, he was still a Champion Level and Lady Sigma naturally needed to ensure he'd be able to fill the role and gave him additional power with no strings attached.
• The Evils of Free Will: Lady Sigma's utterly unhinged, sociopathic tendencies on display here are exactly how she would act in Citadel of the Heart proper had she not had a Restraining Bolt applied to her in the main continuity.
• Fantastic Racism: "A good Analog is a dead one!"
• Foreshadowing: The way she speaks in her introduction arc makes things out to be not even remotely so much as a nuisance to her even when she's being confronted, in which she's deliberately trying to piss someone off at times. She is basically using everyone around her as pieces to a larger puzzle, and is navigating the various pieces into their proper places to set up towards later events. She even more or less actually intended to have WarGreymon strike her down considering she wanted to see if him doing so would cause his half of Omegamon to speak through him, which she succeeds in getting a reaction but not quite a clear answer that she was looking for.
• Knight Templar: A title of a chapter refers to her as such, and it's an understatement, as she sees all humans as evil and is not above killing their sympathizers.
• Ludicrous Gibs: She actually survives this, but midway through Chapter 7 she's reduced to this by WarGreymon, which subsequently causes the Royal Knights overall to keep off of the DigiDestined while they prioritize healing Lady Sigma back to full health by salvaging her remains and beginning extensive repairs.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Her return in Chapter 28 has her more than willing to work alongside the DigiDestined and also having her speak to them and give them precise commands on the details of her actions prior, in which they're more than willing to hear her out because if someone such as Lady Sigma is being chummy with the DigiDestined all of a sudden, it just goes to show just how much shit has hit the fan at this point.
• Put on a Bus: Has been out of commission since Chapter 7.
• Restraining Bolt: Free will this time not withstanding, she is however restrained from using the Summon Magic version of Digitalize of Soul, which is apparently so powerful that the Wave-Motion Gun version Soul Digitalization has no such restriction...
• Summon Magic: Digitalize of Soul, the Japanese name of Soul Digitalization, is what refers to this version of the attack in this fic. Lady Sigma not only has to unleash all of it's power by voice command, but also has to unlock every restraint on her ability to use it, which is something she actually lacks the ability to do.
• Victim-Blaming: She indirectly blames Sora for the D-Brigade going after her, referring to her as a deserter of the DigiDestined, and has no sympathy towards what had happened to half of Sora's relatives because of her attempt to retire from being a DigiDestined only for Sealsdramon to murder much of her relatives. Lady Sigma was speaking such things to deliberately provoke WarGreymon to get a specific response, and for all intents and purposes, she very much got her wish.
• Wake-Up Call Boss: She is the first serious enemy the protegonists face, and she is a competent, callous foe who needs a temporary powerr-up to be beaten at all.
• Wave-Motion Gun: Soul Digitalization at "full power". Turns out to be even more devastating but Summon Magic without any restraint placed on it.

Emissary Ouryumon

• Adaptational Jerkass: Ouryumon is very unpleasant in this incarnation, being a Smug Snake at best whenever he isn't an Ax-Crazy dickhead who wants to slaughter everyone in sight for the most trivial of reasons. Oh, and he's a complete suckup to Lady Sigma that he'll gladly throw everyone else under the bus for his own benefit to her as Her Sword.
• Adapted Out: Inverted, considering many of Alphamon's appearances which include the Ouryuken Mode typically tend to forget that Ouryumon is the Ouryuken, and that Alphamon Ouryuken is actually a Combination of Alphamon and Ouryumon.
• Ax-Crazy: Immediately wants to declare genocide as his first option of retaliation against the DigiDestined after witnessing WarGreymon severely injure and destroy much of Lady Sigma's body in one attack. Dynasmon and BanchoLeomon forcefully talk him out of it, with BanchoLeomon giving him a Death Glare because of how Ouryumon's attitude reminds him of the same type of mentality the D-Brigade have in this aspect.
• Dirty Old Man: Makes some rather blatantly perverted remarks in a rather casual manner to the female DigiDestined regardless of their actual age. Tends to get slapped silly by either them, their Digimon, or even his own subordinates for thinking that way. Heck not even the other female Royal Knights sans Sigma are safe from his perverse hormonal craziness, not that it does him any justice in making that clear to them.
• Does This Remind You of Anything?: Ouryumon's Asian Dragon design combined with referring to himself as "Lady Sigma's Sword", while definitely phallic in implication, only further emphasizes how blatantly a Jerkass Ouryumon is to everyone or thing that isn't Lady Sigma. Then there's his... Combination, with Lady Sigma into Alphamon Ouryuken, and how Lady Sigma rather lovingly caresses and obsesses over the Ouryuken in this form.
• Scyophantic Servant: Incredible tenacious and vicious to everyone in sight, but absolutely worships Lady Sigma with an unquestioning loyalty. Part of this mindless loyalty might owe itself to his own personal Combination with Lady Sigma into Alphamon Ouryuken, considering he gets to partake in the slaughter his beloved Lady whenever the time is needed for the Combination form.
• Visual Pun: The whole phallic remarks he makes and how Lady Sigma gushes over him when he's in the Ouryuken form? He's a literal Dragon Dildo for her use alone.

Ambassador Lady Raiga

A female Omegamon who was like a lover to Lady Sigma, who mysteriously vanished one day and was never seen again. Until one day being discovered in the Dark Area by Mirei's Mastemon, in which she reports back to Lady Sigma, sporting an entirely different form, from which even Flare and Tempest are also unrecognizable.

• Adaptation Species Change: Flare is a BlitzGreymon, Tempest a CresGarurumon, and Lady Raiga herself, as a direct consequence, an Omegamon Alter-S. Her original incarnation which first appeared in Truth and Ideals had the forms of WarGreymon, MetalGarurumon, and Omegamon respectively. The change was made to be able to better tell the difference between her and Adventure Omegamon partnered to Tai and Matt.
• Adaptation Personality Change: She was already leaning heavily into The Neidermeyer in her original incarnation, but her sheer, unrivaled tenacity takes a whole new extreme with her Ax-Crazy, Omnicidal Maniac tendencies.
• Adapted Out: Apparently she does exist in this continuity, but bringing her up before Lady Sigma kind of causes her to... uncharacteristically explode with sorrowful rage.
• Ambiguous Situation: Whether or not Flare and Tempest still exist as separate individuals, as both of them are the composite Digimon who undergo a Fusion Dance to become Lady Raiga in the first place. Likewise, there's also the matter of whether or not Blackheart exists, as she's normally the result of Lady Raiga's current lack of existence, but so far nothing associated with the Black Digitron is noted in this AU yet.
• Brawn Hilda: Flare and her Combination with Tempest as Lady Raiga, even more so than their canon counterparts. BlitzGreymon and Omegamon Alter-S are both already heavier built than their counterparts WarGreymon and Omegamon are by default, and these two are no different just like always.
• Drama-Preserving Handicap: Her absence in the plot is to ensure Lady Sigma actually has to find another Omegamon to do what she needs done instead. This is to prevent Lady Sigma from having an easy victory, since Lady Raiga would carry out the orders she's needed for without question.
• The Neidermeyer: Something she already was to begin with, even in her original incarnation, as to why not only everyone in the room hated her, but why Flare and Tempest also hated her and the fact they become her when Combining together. Both of them being much more ruthless and willing to Combine this time around leads to Raiga being an even worse Omnicidal Maniac who everyone is flat out trying to terminate and refuse to allow entry back into the Royal Knights, considering Raiga believes Lady Sigma's plan is brilliant in simplicity... if only she were the one in charge instead.
• Oxymoronic Being: Is a Virus Attribute Digimon from the family of Virus Busters Digimon which are designed to slay Virus Attribute Digimon.
• Wham Shot: She finally appears, sporting an entirely different form from which she is not known for, with a Grey Cannon and Garuru Sword.

Ambassador Kamiya Taichi

• Composite Character: Is based off of V-Tamer's Taichi and Digimon Re: Adventure Taichi, with the former influencing his partner Digimon, and the latter influencing his appearance in regards to having a jacket cape as opposed to an ordinary cape.
• Expy: He is based off of V-Tamer's Taichi, complete with an UlforceVeedramon Future Mode as his partner Digimon's strongest form. In terms of appearance, however, instead of a cape, he wears a jacket from his late father similar to how Gankoomon wears a jacket as though it were a cape. This is done to evoke the image of Taichi looking more like how he does in Digimon Re: Adventure, who also has the jacket cape going for him.
• Pragmatic Adaptation:
  • Simply to avoid confusion with the Tai of the main timeline, his surname is changed to Kamiya, which is the surname his anime counterpart had in the Dub, and unlike Tai, he doesn't have the shortened nickname of his given name Taichi.
  • Royal Knight UlforceVeedramon and Taichi's UlforceVeedramon diverge in their respective Super Mode. Royal Knight UlforceVeedramon becomes UlforceVeedramon X, and Taichi's partner becomes UlforceVeedramon Future Mode.
  • Speaking of UlforceVeedramon Future Mode, in the world from which Taichi originates from, the level does indeed exist. When he travels to the world where Diary of an Analog otherwise takes place, this in and of itself poses... technical difficulties.

Ambassador Kamiya Hikari

• Ambiguous Situation: Is she native to "A World without Hope" or is she from the same parallel universe as Kamiya Taichi?
• Sealed Good in a Can: She is rediscovered as still being alive, albeit sealed within a corrupted version of the DigiEgg of Light, due to the Mysterious Man sealing her within it in an attempt to perform a hostage situation as one of several different backup plans.

The Analogs and Siegedreimon

Siegedreimon, the mass produced Mega Level soldier of the Analogs.

• Always Chaotic Evil:
  • They have to choose to become villainous to be accepted into their ranks. They will flat out kill members of their own who even so much as entertain the idea of a Heel–Face Turn without even batting an eye.
  • Doesn't apply to Siegedreimon, as Siegedreimon is more or less a Humongous Mecha that happens to have a Digicore but otherwise is not a living entity. The fact it's outright piloted by the Analogs proper only proves this.
• Foreshadowing: Normally, the "Dreimon-suffix" is just an occasional part of an OC Digimon species' name that MF217 tends to use with no further meaning. However, it does have a meaning for once with Siegedreimon; "drei" is German for "3", and Siegedreimon is explicitly revealed to be controlled by no less than 3 human pilots at a time.
• Gas Mask Mooks:
  • They use this motif in particular to invoke horror in their adversaries, but otherwise it's just to showcase how utterly mundane and faceless the Analogs as a group are, as described under They Look Like Everyone Else below. Only with the Gas Mask Mooks attire do they have anything remotely resembling anything other than average or mundane in appearance alone.
  • The Gas Mask Mooks motif isn't entirely for show either. Their numerous lairs are filled with poisonous air from which their gas masks are essential to survive in. They don't bother filtering the air to a cleaner state because they feel it bests outs anyone who is a spy among them, and prevents any normal intruders from being able to survive for too long even if they somehow remain undetected. This poisonous air also has the side-effect of disabling Digivolution of either Light or Dark varieties, as this atmosphere causes either party to experience nothing but fear and a drain in their overall willpower unless they have some sort of protection against it, which any Digimon the Analogs use as additional guards are injected a special serum to survive in their poisonous atmosphere for this purpose.
  • Their foot soldier of choice, Siegedreimon, has such a mask as it's actual face, and is constantly exhaling a toxic gas as exhaust.
• Hidden Depths: They somehow created Siegedreimon to legitimately have the power of a Mega Level even before they had any ability to acquire specimens for them to study among natural Digimon.
• Homefield Advantage: The Siegedreimon function at their best within lairs inhabited by the Analogs, from which their usual Mighty Glacier tendencies are swapped for vicious Lightning Bruiser tactics because unlike when out on the field when normally only a single Siegedreimon is deployed, the base of a given Analog has no less than 12 Siegedreimon active at a time, and plenty more readily available if needed. This is due to the fact that in these lairs, the Siegedreimon can act without need for direction because they don't need a pilot like normal since they're already jacked into the master PC within the base itself.
• Humans Are the Real Monsters: They're exactly the kind of monstrous entities that Yggdrasil in every other series believes humankind to be almost entirely. Siegedreimon was not only invented by them, but also is outright piloted by no less than three of them at a time.
• Humongous Mecha: Siegedreimon is about the same size as Omegamon, but substantially bulkier in frame.
• The Juggernaut: Siegedreimon. It's a Mega Level, mass produced soldier for the Analogs, and was last seen encountered by Omegamon in which it was blasted with Supreme Cannon and seemingly disappeared. Turns out all that happened to it was getting launched at the horizon and eventually it was recovered completely intact. So far, though, actual battle abilities are currently unknown, but the Analogs did indeed design Siegedreimon to be a defensive tank at the very least.
• A Nazi by Any Other Name: Considering their Siegedreimon inventions are heavily inspired by Wolfenstein: The New Order in regards to their general appearance, that is just the tip of the iceberg, and trying to learn more about them reveals them to be quite a hatred driven, genocide intending lunatics.
• Mighty Glacier: A plot point regarding their durable armor is that the more still in movement they are, the more the armor's durability remains intact as opposed to more fast paced movement, from which the armor's weak spots are more readily exposed. As a result, under normal situations, Siegedreimon employs The Slow Walk in it's movements, and doesn't hasten the speed unless chasing down an intruder in a base of the Analogs, from which as it has the Homefield Advantage in said area actually patches up the weak spots by virtue of how many Siegedreimon are on the scene overall.
• Non-Elemental: Siegedreimon is listed as "Null" on it's DeviantArt upload description.
• Shout-Out: To Kerberos Saga, both In-Universe and Out, regarding how Siegedreimon's overall appearance looks, with the Gas Mask Mooks motif, the glowing red eyes, and the pitch black armor and heavy artillery they're packing at virtually all times. The In-Universe portion refers to how the Kerberos Saga exists In-Universe as a fictional media that is highly popular with the Analogs to the point they decided to model their own artificial Digimon after the iconic armor from which the Kerberos Saga is most famous for.
• They Look Like Everyone Else: Very, very few Analogs have any appearances that can be described as anything other than "completely mundane and average" in terms of what they look like outside of their Gas Mask Mooks motif. They could easily be anyone the protagonists or antagonists may know in-person, and they wouldn't be able to tell the difference between someone who is an Analog and someone who is otherwise an ordinary civilian.
• Viler New Villain: At the beginning of Diary of an Analog, even with the Original Character factions introduced, the first arc is otherwise the Digimon Emperor arc without too many differences emerging aside from characterization choices. The Analogs are not intended to physically appear in-person until after the defeat of the Digimon Emperor, but they do tend to at least remind the readers of their presence as ominous observers of the whole situation who are currently waiting for an opening like the brutal opportunists they are...

David

• Nothing Is Scarier: No physical form is known to exist for him; just a gas mask being worn by a skull as his avatar, but even then that isn't really saying a whole lot when the Analogs, who otherwise do have physical forms, all have the Gas Mask Mooks motif going for them.
• Hidden Depths: Although he's just a Mook for the Analogs, he's clearly got a lot of credentials as to why the higher ups in the Analogs consider him to have a high prestige among them, to the point that they're willing to sacrifice their own assets to ensure David's work is not discovered or interfered with.
• Language Barrier: He speaks Japanese very poorly when he's first introduced, and actually speaks French. Apparently he has met Nancy's father, who is partially French, to be able to get a better chance at communicating with T.K. and his friends, with Nancy herself helping translate for him whenever she's present at the same time as him.
• They Look Like Everyone Else: While not outright made obvious, he actually attends Odaiba Elementary School along with the others. Nobody realizes he's an Analog because of the fact he perfectly blends in with every other student in the school. He's just so mundane that there's nothing worth noting about him, and even the way he speaks and what photographs exist of him don't make it any clear that he has a distinct identity among his kin. Especially apparent when everyone initially thinks David is the Big Bad among the Analogs, when in reality he's nothing more than a generic mook who simply is held in high regard by the actual higher ups of the Analogs.

UD-?? SOLUNA

• Adaptational Heroism: Believe it or not, she is the entire reason why Citadel of the Heart does not follow the canon series they're based on as far as chain of events go, but the problem was that as a creation of Zaalim originally, she had a more malevolent reason for acting out, as she declared history as having been written by the winners. Here, in Diary of an Analog, she holds no such belief as her creators were within a gray area of sorts, leading to Soluna herself being just as much of a gray area due to the naivety to her own mistakes she makes when she thinks herself to be better than her creators after she concludes she had no other choice by to ursurp them when she saw timeline shattering damages with their continued existence. She acted out of belief she was protecting the timeline from further harm, and when she awakens in the present, she is suffering from a lot of malfunctions due to nightmares of her creators haunting her and the actions she did to get her to this point.
• Awakening the Sleeping Giant: She is possibly an even bigger threat than any of the canonical villains could've ever dreamed off, and entirely by accident at that. She's The Ghost to everyone else, and what little is known about her prior to her reawakening has left her The Spook, considering some very small fragments of memories of the original timeline still exist deep within the minds of the main characters.
• Big Bad: She is one of the major Big Bads of Diary of an Analog, and was briefly considered to be the Big Bad until plans were altered to upgrade Daemon's role even further than it already was. A temporal anomaly, originally being created to eliminate any contradictions in the timeline, who had turned against her masters after a long and drawn out chain of events leading her to conclude she could not logically function as intended without eliminating her masters in the process, and thus decides to take on their role for them in their permanent absence, unaware thart she isn't immune to making the same mistakes they did...
• Deconstructed Character Archetype:
  • She is one towards Fixer Sues. She was created to uphold the will of her creators by erasing any oxymorons in the timeline, past, present, or future, from interfering with how they wanted to foretell the story at hand with the universe. She was given new creators, alongside her original one, to overlook her business. She was functioning normally at first, doing next to nothing from interfering with the events leading to the creation of Digimon Adventure tri. and Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna, despite the fact both of those stories posed a major oxymoron to her job by the time she's discovered in her chambers underground on Mars by Matt and Gabumon during the epilogue of 02, from which she was told to keep 100% canon. However, Soluna notices something; Gabumon should be dead, and she was never given an explantion as to how he shows up alive and well in the epilogue. Likewise, she learns from Matt and Gabumon that Biyomon and Agumon are also both alive and well, meaning something was wrong with her role to erase oxymorons, and she tries to rectify this on the spot by attempting to wipe Gabumon from exitence, but is stopped when Matt points out to her that if Soluna was doing her job of erasing errors from the timeline as she was meant to from the very start, that why didn't she act up during the events of tri., or heck, even earlier when the original canon 02 created many plotholes and unresolved arcs. Soluna, rewinding time back to the point of her creation, long before the events of the pilot, has a discussion with her creators about her purpose. She is meant to fix errors in the timeline, but she was also somehow meant to enforce other errors in the process despite them also being errors in the timeline. She realizes, now, that her own creators are the very oxymorons she was designed to eliminate. She does so, and rather than erase herself next, realizes that with her creators gone, the timeline's damages will still be intact, and now there's an oxymoron of who'll maintain the timeline in their absence. Soluna takes up the mantle herself, declaring herself a God from the Machine in regards to her origins to purge herself of oxymoronic traits that would prevent her from still existing, all the while taking the timeline in her own path as she has witnessed it to match much of what her creators intended, but leaving no mistakes this time around. Going dormant, she has no idea that when she awakens, an oxymoron of her own creation will be facing her in the eyes...
• Failed a Spot Check:
  • Soluna points this out to her creators regarding how Biyomon, Agumon, and Gabumon are erased from existence in the events of Last Evolution, and somehow miraculously show up alive and well, and her creators make absolutely no attempts to explain how this still somehow works. This leads to the conclusion that, when initially refusing to follow the order to mold the timeline to her creator's liking, that the only logical solution was to erase her creators from existence, since they had become the very oxymorons that she was designed to erase in the first place. Soluna's continued existence is due to her becoming an Ultimorian Deity by invoking a literal Deus ex Machina.
  • Soluna would realize far too late that she herself made an error when she awakens in the present and finds V-Tamers Taichi clear as day before her, who is not supposed to exist in this timeline she had sworn to protect.
• Fix Fic: She considers usurping her creators and taking command of the timeline to repair it to be this, considering the immense amount of metaphors towards the creation of the anime series from which Diary of an Analog is based upon in regards to behind the scenes drama. Soluna eventually has to deal with the fact that even she herself is not immune to the errors of her creators.
• Mythology Gag: A Digital Lifeform with a specific purpose going rogue along the lines of the D-Reaper or Vitium and being yet another Deconstructed Character Archetype of Mary Sue tropes cast as the Big Bad in regards to Citadel of the Heart villains.
• Reality Warper: Soluna was programmed to flat out negate any oxymorons in the timeline by flat out erasing them from existence. Soluna was apparently supposed to gear the timeline towards the events of Last Evolution by it's creators, but Soluna pointed out a problem; the Digimon protagonists, who were blatantly erased in the events of said movie, show up alive and well in the 02 epilogue which is still considered canon. When Soluna's creators insisted she still carry out the order, she did so by erasing her own creators from existence so that she wouldn't have to obey the order anymore. Soluna maintained her own existence by flat out ascending into an Ultimorian Deity by becoming a very literal Deus ex Machina.
• Walking Spoiler: As one of the Unofficial Ultimorian Deities, she is this by absolute default under virtually any circumstance. Not only that, but she is the first outright confirmed Ultimorian presence within Diary of an Analog proper, with the status of even reoccurring Author Avatar Grandis being not revealed just yet.

Dorugoramon, the Ultimate Enemy of Destruction

• Expy: Of Final Fantasy XIV Bahamut.
• Red Baron: Has at least three titles; "Ultimate Enemy", the "Dragon", and "Destruction"
• Shout-Out: His original design already references Final Fantasy X Bahamut, so his role in this story is that of another Bahamut. Specifically, Final Fantasy XIV Bahamut.

"Hiro"/"Mameo"

• And the Adventure Continues: He never stopped being a DigiDestined even after being married and caring for his equally mysterious wife and their unborn child, mainly because he's given contract work by the various governments around the work to infiltrate facilities heavily suspected to be littered with Analogs and annihilate them one by one.
• Dimensional Traveler: He does this on a frequent basis by using Network as a hub to travel to different versions of the Digital World, complete with being able to access different domains and URLs of specific Digital World locations unique to a certain type of address. While nobody knows where he's from, he claims that he exists within the same world as T.K. and co., just out of reach of where most of them are much of the time.
• Kid Hero All Grown-Up: While he tends to not share information regarding his adventures in the Digital World in the real world, he doesn't bother hiding it to those who already are within the Digital World, considering Hiro now works as an agent tracking down and annihilating Analog hotspots with his own partner Digimon.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: Hiro's actual name is unknown, as he refuses to give this information to people he meets in the Digital World.
• Signature Mon: PrinceMamemon.

"The Vampire Woman"

• Fan Disservice: Her consistent targets are underage, and she clearly looks like a woman in her 40s. For some of her male victims, she has a tendency to take the form of their own mothers at times.
• Femme Fatale
• Immortality Begins at Twenty: 40s, technically, considering while not necessarily youthful nor elderly, her mature appearance is a major defining characteristic all of her guises share in common.
• Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane:
  • Nobody knows the nature behind her existence just yet; even with her appearing in the dreams of more than one character, she takes on a different form in said dreams, and sometimes for the same victim she's been known to take on multiple forms at a time.
  • Most importantly, is she and Lilithmon one in the same? Is she Lilithmon's own partner? Or is she just an illusion, a puppet, of sorts, conjured into existence by Lilithmon? Or, what if, she has no connection to Lilithmon at all, and any direct traits shared between the two are nothing but a coincidence? Perhaps maybe even an innocent woman experimented on by the Analogs to give the impression she's connected to Lilithmon, but nothing more? For that matter, does this woman even actually exist as an actual individual? Who knows, at least for now.
• Our Vampires Are Different: Sunlight weakness apparently is in effect if her track record of appearances are anything to go by. For context, she doesn't appear during the day at all, as all of her confirmed appearances are within dreams that occur from the character's end in the middle of the night. Even the other characters realize that they can take naps during the day and she'll never show up, not unless their naps persist into the night.
• Parental Incest: Subverted, as she's not actually related to her victims, but she does transform into their own mothers every now and then as a means of luring them in.
• Shapeshifting: Aside from being a woman in her 40s, she takes on numerous different guises as far as appearance is concerned, even to the point of disguising herself as a given character's own mother.
• The Vamp: She seduces the various characters she meets in their dreams, often with the attempt to feed off of them.
• Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Considering the implication in that if she does exist, she's very much a sexual predator with how she functions against her clearly underage targets.

Codename: "ALL-FATHER"

Tropes relating to Imperialdramon in the context of this fic.

• Adaptational Badass: He displays disturbingly similar power to the likes of Olympus Mons AncientGreymon, perhaps even surpassing it outright in raw firepower. When WarGreymon tries to destroy him with the Dramon Destroyers, he winds up sent flying backwards after crashing into his hide as the Dramon Destroyers had shattered like glass moments prior.
• Decomposite Character: He can appear as a possible Dark Digivolution Mega for everyone who shares any of his Attributes with him, and since he's been inconsistently labeled as all five possible at any given point in myth...
• The Dreaded: When his fossilized VNA is discovered, Ken is too quiet, too stunned in the realization of exactly what he had uncovered, and immediately attempts to destroy it.
• Game Changer: Because of his Dark Digivolution from Raidramon, Digimon have free reign than ever before with accessing the Real World, techniques that originally only worked in the Digital World can now function in the real world, and from a single Positron Laser alone, there is a gigantic maelstrom surrounding Japan which threatens to swallow it hole, and from deep within doesn't appear to be any spot within that's from any world we know, as shown when Dagomon rises through it. The Celestial Digimon are now at full scale war with the Royal Knights, as the D-Brigade and BAN-TYO groups are picking the strongest side to fight for and often going up against former allies or even teaming with each other. Not only that, but the Demon Lords have been awoken from their eons of isolation, and they escape from the Dark Area with the gigantic hole in space-time that Imperialdramon created.
• Giant Flyer: Roughly on par in size with Examon, making him the second largest Dragon Digimon by comparison.
• Olympus Mons: The Mythical Dragon, so heavily shrouded in rumor that many believe and pray that he never actually existed at all in any capacity. Even the historical records prefer to ignore his existence, since they label Machinedramon as the first Mega Level, whereas Imperialdramon would've by default been the single most oldest Mega Level in all of the timeline's lore, something which everyone studying Imperialdramon finds to be absolutely baffling as to how exactly such a disturbingly powerful Dragon Digimon had just disappeared with no explanation.
• Powers That Be: How it was believed to have existed in the present, until it was eventually learned that it can still manage to achieve a Physical God form via Dark Digivolution hijacking of other Digimon.
• Shrouded in Myth: About the only thing that can be mentioned of it without hiding behind a spoiler tag is that it is a very ancient Digimon who is so barely understood by modern science regarding the nature of Digimon as we currently know it that multiple stories and legends outright contradict each other within themselves as to what Attribute, Element, or Family this Digimon hails from, assuming it even belongs to any of them or even all of them at once. It's nickname, the "ALL-FATHER", is enough to unsettle those who have researched anything in the matter over it's possible identity.
• Walking Spoiler: It says something with how much of a spoiler this entity is when virtually every single detail is a massive giveaway towards it's true identity.
• Wave-Motion Gun: Positron Laser, which drills a hole clean through Examon's chest and obliterates him like he were glass, and leaves a gargantuan hole between the Digital World and Real World.
• Wild Card: A lot of it's lore in the myths heavily contradict each other, since they portray Imperialdramon as being virtually of any of the given Attributes or none of them, and also subsequently using any and all combination of Dragon's Roar, Nature Spirits, Wind Guardians, Metal Empire, and Dark Area for which Families Imperialdramon allegedly originated from. To make matters worse, it's impossible to decipher what alignment he actually was, since there are mutually conflicting myths of him both simultaneously being a monstrous dragon forged of chaos and the ultimate salvation of the Digital World in the dark ages.
• Wrong Context Magic: Instead of DDNA, which is the Digimon's version of DNA as known from Digimon World 3, he instead possesses VNA, which is a concept first used by the author in Citadel of the Heart to describe naturally occurring digital lifeforms from his original works. The mere fact he has VNA as opposed to DDNA is one of the first major methods on identifying ALL-FATHER from other Digimon specimens; while other Digital Lifeforms that aren't Digimon possess VNA, ALL-FATHER is the only Digimon to outright have it over DDNA. Even Kashou, who by the franchise's own logic would be a Digital Lifeform, has DDNA as opposed to VNA, since she is technicaly an actual Digimon due to her possessing a Digicore in all of her forms, including her base form.

Mysterious Man

• Adaptational Karma: He got his wish for Diablomon and Daemon's Data, but he couldn't control the result of his own experiments. Whatever happened next left him heavily degraded in appearance suffering a never-ending Villainous Breakdown due to an extreme case of Sanity Slippage.
• Gone Horribly Right: He got the data from Apocalymon, and later claimed Diablomon and Daemon's data as well. Whatever the fuck he did with those three's data, however, according to him, was not worth the cost.
• Nothing Is Scarier: We don't see firsthand exactly what the ultimate result of his plan was, but it heavily degraded his body and left him suffering a perpetual Villainous Breakdown caused by extreme Sanity Slippage.
• Walking Spoiler: Considering he may or may not be a Composite Character with Ken this time around as opposed to being unrelated to each other like in canon.

AncientSphinxmon

• Animal Gender-Bender: Löwemon, JaegerLöwemon, and Raihimon all have the manes associated with male lions, despite all three of them in this case as well as AncientSphinxmon are female entities. The explanation mostly stems from the fact that, like examples prior such as Lady Sigma, Digimon do not adhere to the rules of gender as dictated by human world lifeforms. Alternatively, since Sphinxes are commonly depicted with manes regardless of their actual gender in mythology, one could say that Löwemon, JaegerLöwemon, and Raihimon are more comparable to sphinxes than they are lions.
• Gratuitous German: The names of her Human Spirit, Beast Spirit, and Fusion Spirit are all based on German words. Actually somewhat justified in that her human vessel she's reborn into, from which her Spirit forms first appear, is actually half German in heritage.
• Irony: She is the ancient ancestor of all demonic based Digimon, yet most of said Digimon have a Dark Is Evil motif going on with their overall appearance or abilities, or even behavior, whereas AncientSphinxmon is The Sacred Darkness and was an extreme case of Dark Is Not Evil.
• Our Sphinxes Are Different: While AncientSphinxmon has the appearance of the Egyptian Sphinx by default, she is characterized as a female entity whose only real connection to the Egyptian Sphinx being her benevolence, with the female aspect of her character coming more from the Greek Sphinx.
• Pragmatic Adaptation: Löwemon and JaegerLöwemon are named as such to effectively dissociate them from the Leomon-species, showcasing how borderline supernatural and ancient the Spirit Digimon are compared to ordinary Digimon that exist in modern times.
• The Sacred Darkness: Perhaps the biggest example of this trope in the entire Digimon franchise personified, as AncientSphinxmon is a benevolent entity of incredible power aligned with Darkness, even if the problematic irony are that her descendants comprise mostly of the demonic and stereotypical Dark Is Evil based Digimon.
• Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can: All of the other members of the Warrior Ten with the sole exception of AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon were reincarnated into human vessels that contain DDNA of Digimon as opposed to ordinary human genetics.
• Shown Their Work: Described as a female entity and appears in the present day in a female vessel, but is otherwise a benevolent entity overall. This is actually the result of a combination of both the Greek version and the Egyptian version of a Sphinx, with the former influencing the gender and pronouns describing AncientSphinxmon, with the benevolent nature of the latter being how she was in life.
• Walking Spoiler: Just the fact she's confirmed to still be alive or even a part of the fic is enough to raise red flags.

Chaosmon

The "Emissary of Oblivion", according to their voice. Chaosmon seldom speaks, but when they do, madness usually entails from their complex dialect, even with the simple wording structure they speak with.

• Foregone Conclusion: His existence is flat out confirmed by how the author intends to take the directions in Character Development for both Darkdramon and BanchoLeomon. If he didn't intend it, he would've had both character's rolls be filled by different Digimon altogether.
• Fusion Dance: Of Darkdramon and BanchoLeomon. By the time it finally happens, it's permanent, unlike with what's seen with Omegamon.
• Split-Personality Merge: The central entity has a mind of it's own, but each of it's arms have their original personalities intact albeit horrifyingly mangled. The central entity's own personality doesn't appear to directly resemble either that of Darkdramon's or BanchoLeomon's own.
• Voice of the Legion: Chaosmon's dialogue is uniquely formatted, with it appearing from the right instead of the left, and pressing enter every time a new sentence is spoken while speaking multiple lines. There is a pattern regarding how Chaosmon's text is formatted, and actually follows specific rules as to how it's formatted and when.
• Walking Spoiler: Not so much an "if" he'll appear, so much as "when". "When" winds up being Chapter 24, which sees the reveal of Murmuxmon's existence as he "helps" forge Chaosmon into existence, as his two Digicores were otherwise incapable of fusing on their own accord.

Papi

Allegedly Kashou's father. Emphasis on "allegedly" considering there's high evidence indicating he doesn't actually exist as he appears before Kashou proper. He's the human form of Kashou's Literal Split Personality, and the one that controls the Duskmon and Velgrmon Darkness Spirits.

• Red Herring: Invoked and Exploited. Under normal situations, Kashou doesn't have a Literal Split Personality with Duskmon and Velgrmon, but she needed to escape notice from Arachnemon and Mummymon regarding her even being a Digimon altogether and thus forcefully expunged Duskmon and Velgrmon from her body, creating Papi as an unnoteworthy German male adult in the process, and rendering herself physically ill for an entire week. After Arachnemon and Mummymom fuck off, she deletes Papi and merges back with Duskmon and Velgrmon. As a direct consequence of this, it suddenly appeared as though Kashou's father had indeed shown up in the form of Papi taking on the persona of being Kashou's biological father... and his absolutely unnoteworthy characteristics are the byproduct of being exactly what Kashou mentally pictured in her head regarding what her father was like in appearance. That said, he does inherit Duskmon's tendency to be a bit of a perverted creep.

Lucemon

The one who makes Dagomon dream dead silence, and whose image provokes nothing short of absolutely quiet horror from even the darkest depths of the Dark Ocean. Lucemon was the most powerful Archangel Digimon ever at one point in time, and there was a catch to this; he was forcefully De-Digivolved into two Digimon when a disagreement occurred in his mind. One half became Devimon, who would use his remaining power to conquer File Island, the other half would later be part of Goddramon's data which would in turn give rise to Patamon's DigiEgg in 1995. Lucemon's "Dragon", meanwhile, exists as a Soulless Shell of an entity which has the inherent power of a Mega Level but otherwise cannot be properly detected on radar, with the only reassurance anyone has about it for now being that it lacks both the Gehenna and the Code Crests of Sins atop it's back.

Lucemon partially stirred behind the scenes in the debut of ShadowSeraphimon, and he's not looking too happy to see what has become of both halves of his original self. Whereas Patamon briefly had parts of Lucemon purged from him when meeting Jijimon, ShadowSeraphimon would reignite this side of him and try and forcefully override Patamon's Mega Level form to that of the Demon Lord Daemon, which Lucemon chose specifically to try and separate from Patamon's overall power and then bestow upon a revived Devimon for him to become his personal servant towards his inevitable rebirth. Lucemon would also play a part in corrupting Arachnemon into Dark Digivolving into Lilithmon, by preying on her insecurities about being able to fend for herself in the current Digital World after having done nothing to stop Arachnemon from being absolutely torn apart in numerous battles prior.

Monochromon > Triceramon > ???

• Composite Character: The Monochromon from the first episode and the Triceramon seen significantly later on are the same entity here.
  • Decomposite Character: The role of Flamedramon's first opponent goes to an otherwise unrelated Digimon, had it not been for the fact this seemingly random choice of Ultimate Level Digimon is a Palette Swap of Monochromon. In this case, exactly 100 Vermilimon serve as Flamedramon's first opponents, whereas Monochromon is saved for a different fight.
• Death by Adaptation: When the Digimon Emperor tries to unleash it a second time, it tries to Mega Digivolve, but atomizes it's own body in the process due to the sheer influx of power collapsing on an unstable frame.
• Small Role, Big Impact: It's role in the story as one of the reoccurring minions of the Digimon Emperor quickly has everyone realize that the Digimon Emperor struggles with controlling Ultimate Level Digimon.
• The Unreveal: We never find out what Mega Level form it takes because it's body destabilizes and atomizes itself before it can properly take on any recognizable form.

Diablomon > Armageddemon

• Adaptational Abomination: Understatement of the millennium when it comes to how Diablomon is handled in this AU, as it is made adamantly clear that it is directly because of Diablomon that the entirety of Diary of an Analog unfolds in the way it does to begin with. He triggered the emergence of Mega Levels en masse, he caught the attention of the whole globe with his stunt regarding the Peacekeeper ICBM, and he caused Tai and Matt so much emotional trauma that it actually made everyone else in their group no matter how involved they were already to feel like complete and utter shit because they were incapable of helping the two out in at least some capacity, with only Izzy not feeling like shit considering his improvising at the last minute is what saved everyone proper.
• Adaptational Villainy/Adaptational Badass:
  • Perhaps the biggest example of all of the past villains, to the point of being a complete and utter Eldritch Abomination who can't be anything but a living force of nature.
  • Directly Digivolves from Diablomon into Armageddemon as opposed to the latter being born from the fusion of millions of Kuramon.
• Author Appeal: Inverted: All of the Adaptational Villainy and Adaptational Badass he's receiving are all amplifying everything that the author fears about Diablomon the most above all of the antagonistic Digimon in the whole franchise, effectively turning Diablomon into even more of a living force of nature of an Eldritch Abomination than he is normally.
• Body Horror: His body stretches and moves in ways that are actually kind of standard issue for Diablomon considering his Rubber Band Man anatomy, but taken up to eleven by showcasing various attributes of Diablomon which may or may not even apply, such as the ability to stretch his neck to absurd lengths, unhinge his jaws like a serpent, and manifest thousands upon thousands of many arms from the pores in his shoulders.
• Composite Character: Notice all of those spoiler covered tropes under Lopmon further above? Ya. The original Diablomon and Willis' Lopmon are the exact same entity in this AU.
• The Dreaded: He reminds Patamon brutally how much Patamon wasn't able to do anything against him and had to beg for help from MetalGarurumon. The Digimon Emperor and Devimon simply get the hell out before Diablomon can truly make his presence known.
• Eldritch Abomination: His dosage of Adaptational Villainy treats everything related to him as a Cosmic Horror Story.
• Knight of Cerebus: Personality being an afterthought aside, he's the catalyst for a lot of the scarred minds of the initial eight DigiDestined, and his influence with his data dispersing and corrupting every known Digitama forever is felt even 2 years after his seemingly initial demise.
• Generic Doomsday Villain: He's a living force of nature with personality being kind of an afterthought for him. However, his status as being The Dreaded to literally everyone and his death causing the rise of a Mega Level population boom is what's giving everyone real trouble, especially since Devimon states in Jijimon's File City that any and all Digimon who have died can be reborn in Jijimon's own version of the Village of Beginnings. Even then, it's not clear whether or not Diablomon is actually present in the scene that highlights him.
• Glass Cannon: Had he been a lot slower as Diablomon, the fight would've been over the moment Omegamon came to being, but Diablomon's sheer speed bought him time to try and stall. Once he was forcefully slowed down, the game was just about over upon his head being impaled by the Grey Sword not long afterwards.
• Heel–Face Turn: Only in regards to his original incarnation, in which he sheds his Diablomon self and becomes reborn as Lopmon. His Diablomon data disperses from his Digicore altogether, but it won't be the last time we see Diablomon proper...
• Millennium Bug: Flat out stated to be the Y2K Bug itself, at least when referred to by those who aren't DigiDestined already.
• Monster Progenitor: His data dispersing in the wake of his death at the hands of Omegamon polluted the Digitama genepool and caused every single Digitama ever created from that point onward to be able to achieve Mega Level as their birthright as opposed to just Champion Level. This even applies to Digimon who had long died before
• Multi-Armed and Dangerous: He can sprout additional arms from the pores on his shoulders when opened, seemingly infinite amounts of arms as he's described as having beyond thousands of them emerge at once.
• Olympus Mons: Broke the record from being born a Digitama and achieving Mega Level, caused a massive surge of Mega Level population boom, and later becomes the first confirmed Ultra Level as Armageddemon.
• Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: His monstrous qualities and Eldritch Abomination status are amplified up to eleven here, making him completely stick out like a sore thumb compared to the other antagonists who at least look like they would naturally exist in this type of world, whereas Diablomon is this thing that was never supposed to. Becomes all of the more apparent when Diablomon still manages to exist as a separate entity long after the original specimen's data had reconfigured itself into Lopmon.
• Walking Spoiler: It's connection to Willis and Lopmon by direct association gives away a massive twist utilized with the latter as a reborn Diablomon.

LoaderLiomon > BanchoLeomon

• Adaptational Villainy: Averted; this is not the same Leomon from Adventure reborn. Said Leomon did get reborn, but is located elsewhere, and in a different form.
• The Dragon: Becomes this to Dynasmon once Lady Sigma is rendered out of commission for a while beginning with Chapter 7.
• Foreshadowing: His uncharacteristic dialogue regarding Darkdramon's vulnerable Digicore implies that it's actually Chaosmon speaking through both of them, as opposed to BanchoLeomon himself.
• Fusion Dance: Seems interested in using Darkdramon's Immortal Digicore for power, which would likewise cause him to become Chaosmon with him.
• Underestimating Badassery: He actually kind of overestimates Gatomon's abilities as Angewomon, as he actually manages to use one of her feathers to digivolve to Mega Level and score a nasty wound to her side in the process. However, the power he now has him a bit high, and Angewomon has to calm him down by impaling him into the nearest wall with Celestial Arrow.

Duftmon/Duftmon Leopard Mode

• 24-Hour Armor: Noticeably she is the most prominent of the Royal Knight Digimon fic who averts this, by having a consistent under armor appearance. Except said appearance in either form is... unsettling.
• Fan Disservice: When she's spotted bathing without any of her armor on, she looks like a humanoid lady, covered in subtle, leopard spot detailing and the tail associated with both of her forms present. Sounds sexy at first, but then you realize she's uncannily thin for even a humanoid to look, to the point it's speculated that without her armor, she'd literally shatter like glass upon being struck by something with even the tiniest amount of force applied.
• Glass Cannon: Her moveset consists of vastly destructive magic she can barely even control herself, with her major drawback being her crippling, non-existent defensive abilities. She is perhaps easily the fastest of all of the Royal Knights, however, at least when in Leopard Mode.
• Going Commando: Apparently, if the rumors among the Knightmon and other guards are anything to go by, Duftmon doesn't wear anything underneath her 24-Hour Armor she's associated with.
• Our Sphinxes Are Different: Underneath her armor in Leopard Mode, meanwhile, is what basically amounts to what would normally be a real-life leopard... had it not been for the half and half mix of human and leopard facial features, and having multiple pairs of oddly human-like mammaries. As for her wings, they extend from her hips, exactly where they would be on her armored form.
• Must Have Caffeine: She makes herself known after Lady Sigma's repairs are being started, and her first complaint? The coffee tastes too normal and isn't any at all weird like how Lady Sigma makes it.
• Wholesome Crossdresser: She lacks confidence in her own abilities, because if it wasn't for the armoring covering her, she'd look the skinniest of any of the Royal Knights, meaning she would look very weakly to others without her armor on.
