open/close all folders
Canon Characters: Heroes
Simon The Digger
- Hot-Blooded: Act surprised.
- Nice Guy: When he's not being Hot-Blooded.
Shirley Fenette
- Clockwork Creature
- Cyborg: Subverted. Since being infected with the Machine Plague, enough time has passed that her entire body has become synthetic.
- Eldritch Abomination: Whatever it is that's possessing her.
- Expansion Pack Past: Her father being a robotics expert who invented the Vocaloids is made up wholesale for this fic.
- Faux Action Girl: Averted. While Shirley isn't the best fighter in the group, she's cognizant of her own limitations and strives to surpass them.
- Irony: Her father is apparently some kind of robotics genius, but her powers and new body have nothing to do with him.
- Naïve Everygirl
- Not Blood Siblings: Hatsune Miku, who her father created.
- Oblivious Younger Sibling: Miku has no idea that Shirley is a superhero.
- Swiss-Army Superpower: She can control all technology, even if it's purely mechanical. The only things limiting Shirley are her lack of experience and fear of losing control.
- Technopath: Notable that it works on purely mechanical machines, not just computers.
- Unwilling Roboticisation: A victim of this thanks to The Machine Plague.
Lightning
- Composite Character: Her powers and abilities are mostly based off of her appearance in Final Fantasy XIII, but she frequently wears outfits from Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.
- Knight in Sour Armor
- Magic Knight
- Not His Sled:
- It's implied that while a rough equivalent of the events of Final Fantasy XIII occurred, they were significantly different from canon. Also, she was apparently never pulled out of time by Etro, so the events of Final Fantasy XIII-2 haven't happened yet.
- Also, her sister is a fashion designer, not a teacher.
- The Stoic
- Transhuman: In this continuity, Lightning's L'cie powers stuck around after defeating Orphan.
Shulk
- Layman's Terms: Frequently has to resort to this when explaining magic to people.
- Magic-Powered Pseudoscience
- Muggles Do It Better: Why he works with Atlas despite being a mostly-ordinary human. There's only so many Magi in the world, and most of them have a cultural taboo against relying on advanced technology. Since Atlas' mission is about preventing The End of the World as We Know It, bend the rules a little to get an edge. It helps that there isn't a Masquerade in this continuity; everyone knows the Mages' association exists, even if their inner workings remain a secret.
- Named by the Adaptation: "Lowsley" is his last name, apparently.
- Only the Chosen May Wield: For unknown reasons, he's the only one who can wield the Monado without any negative side effects.
- Science Hero
- The Smart Guy
- Weaksauce Weakness: The Monado doesn't work on humans.
Shirou Emiya
- Chronic Hero Syndrome
- The Power of Creation
- What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: The only magecraft he really knows is Projection, which is by and large thought of as useless and inefficient. But if you know the main series, then you know that it's really more of a Magikarp Power...
Shinji Ikari
- Adaptational Badass: Downplayed; he's still kind of a coward, but he doesn't need much coaxing to use his powers to help people.
- Barrier Warrior
- Cowardly Lion
- I Just Want to Have Friends
Sayaka Miki
- Action Girl
- Break the Cutie: Even more so than in canon.
- The Cape
- Faux Action Girl: Played with, as most of her failings are due to inexperience, being outnumbered by her enemies, or said enemies not holding back.
- Healing Hands
Canon Characters: Villains
Excel Excel
Il Pallazo
Morgaine Le Fey
- Magic Knight: Equally skilled in swordplay and magic.
- Public Domain Character
Mordred
- Adaptational Badass: Despite being inspired by Justice League, this version of Mordred is much less of a Royal Brat, more of an Implacable Man.
- Composite Character: Based on both Mordred from the Fate/stay night series, as well as Mordred from Justice League.
- My Master, Right or Wrong
- Public Domain Character
- Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe: And is apparently doing it on purpose.
Spoiler Character
Canon Characters: Other

Milly Ashford
- Changeling Tale
- Damsel in Distress
- Doppelgänger: She might not be the original Milly Ashford.

- Red Eyes, Take Warning
- Walking Spoiler: And being familiar with Code Geass doesn't help in the slightest.
- Weaksauce Weakness: Silver and religious iconography.
Wild Tiger
- The Ghost: Never appears on-screen, since he's nowhere near where the story takes place. Hope, however, is a big fan of his.

- Hidden Depths: He's able to figure out that someone has been messing with his mind.

Original Characters

- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: At one point tries to betray Kyoko Sakura in order to get on her attackers' good side. It doesn't work.

- Daddy's Little Villain: Though she considers both her and her father to be heroes.
- Half-Human Hybrid: While neither are technically "human" to begin with, if her mother is Saber and her father is Gilgamesh, she'd be at least 1/3rd god.

- Kid from the Future: Allegedly.
Hope / Hon'kale
- Absurdly Sharp Claws
- Amusing Injuries: Her injuries are described in graphic detail, almost to the point where it

. - Casting a Shadow: Can hide in other people's shadows.
- Combo Platter Powers: Has several different powers, most of which have extremely limited use.
- Distinguishing Mark: An ouroboros tattoo on her forehead.

- Instant Armor
- Military Brat: Her father is apparently a CIA agent.
- The Pollyanna

- Secret Identity: After escaping police custody, she adopts the completely-made-up identity of "Hon'kale", a drow girl from a "tangent dimension". On Mars.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: But only into people who are about the same height and weight, and she can't hide the tattoo on her forehead.

- Doppelgänger: She looks exactly like Xion, but she might not be the real Xion.

Parallel Works characters
Laura Haruna
- Badass Normal

- Ordinary High-School Student: Subverted, as she's a middle school student who turns out to be really good with a crossbow.
- Secret Legacy: At first it looks like she has one of these. But when attacked by a minotaur she whips out a crossbow and and asks her mom where her dad keeps the poison.
- Walking Spoiler: Not so much for the main fic, buuuuut her story loses a bit of the impact if you know the spoilers.
Hamtaro
- Bond Creatures: Hamtaro is one of these for Laura.
- Cassandra Truth: Apparently, Boss thinks Hamtaro's monster-hunting adventures with Laura are just crazy, made-up stories.
Justice Substitutes of Japan
Cowboy Bebop
- Card-Carrying Villain
- Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: In-Universe. This is the entire reason his character exists.
