Starfleet Allies
Ilia
She was separated from her family, her father is an elf leader, and that's it.
- Expy: Resembles the character of the same name from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
- Our Elves Are Different: These elves are pacifistic, non-magical humanoids who specialize in potions and elixirs.
El Mundo
- Fantasy Counterpart Culture: They're explicitly stated to be Spanish in culture.
- A Lizard Named "Liz": El Mundo literally means "the planet" in Spanish.
- Mighty Whitey: El Mundo space ponies are this to the rest of the planet. Hailing from a powerful civilization? Check. Assimilating with the natives? Check. Saving the natives from the Villain of the Week? Check. Ruling the natives? Take three guesses.
- Planet of Hats: Animals in a culturally Spanish environment.
Skystar
Here, she solely exists to be Sea Green's girlfriend and rip off The Little Mermaid.
- The Chief's Daughter: Well, the queen's daughter, but that's basically her role in the story, aside from...
- A Day in the Limelight: Helps Starfleet beat the IDIOTs in X.
- Demoted to Satellite Love Interest: ...being Sea Green's girlfriend.
- Our Mermaids Are Different / Our Griffons Are Different: Like in canon, she's a hippogriff who's now a seapony hiding from the Storm King.
Queen Novo
She's the Queen of Seaquestria and Skystar's mom.
- Our Mermaids Are Different / Our Griffons Are Different: Like Skystar, she's a hippogriff who became a seapony to escape the Storm King.
Human Mykan Stevens
The protagonist of Human in United Equestria. His intelligence is his primary character trait, he also cares about his family, and there's not much more to him. While he gets a clear agenda, wanting to unite Earth and United Equestria, he doesn't show it much.
- The Ace: Considering that he's an astronaut at the age of 18, it's safe to say he's supposed to be this.
- Author Avatar: Is named for the author, and whenever he shows up, the narration shifts to his first-person perspective for no real reason; no other character in the series gets this treatment. However, Dakari-King Mykan insists that despite sharing a name and a "voice", Stevens' personality is completely different from his. Additionally, at the end of the Human in United Equestria, he receives an outfit from Grand Ruler that is heavily reminiscent of Dakari-King Mykan's cosplay.
- Fish out of Water: A normal human stuck in United Equestria.
- Good Is Not Nice: He is pure of heart on paper, selfless for an Author Avatar in practice, but still very rude to strangers and people he doesn't like. Of note is when Lightning, Luna, and Krysta accuse him of being a spy for the Kallanians, not helped by Mykan going out of his way to act suspicious, and rather than calmly explain the situation, he insists on acting like a patronizing Jerkass.
- Improbable Age: An 18-year-old working for NASA is much more likely to be an intern than an astronaut, to say the least.
- Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Supposedly. He gets a sword and a shield powered by purity and courage. He is also more selfless than his pony counterpart in practice, as his goals aren't all about himself.
- Sixth Ranger: Eventually joins up with Starfleet.
- Spotlight-Stealing Squad: In a few stories, Mykan has been stealing the spotlight out from under Lightning Dawn, but not to Demoted to Extra levels. He even gets to personally defeat at least one secondary antagonist (Megadox).
- Taking the Bullet: Titan has cornered him and Starfleet, and Mykan threw his sword to stop the source of his power. Titan shot at the sword, but Mykan took the hit instead and the generator broke.
- Teen Genius: Is an astronaut working under NASA... at 18 years old.
Pony Mykan Stevens
A total Jerkass who thinks everyone is against him.
- Arch-Enemy: Of Windy Bag, with their conflict driving the largest story arc in Starfleet Magic VI.
- Asshole Victim: He would have far less trouble with Windy Bag if he didn't insist on isolating himself from everyone and blame innocents for allegedly wanting to hurt him. He dies when, in a fit of rage, he axes Windy Bag and her machine to near death for selfish reasons and the machine explodes.
- Author Avatar: As with his human counterpart, he's named for the author. Funnily enough, he even shares some of his more infamous tendencies.
- Ax-Crazy: His insistence on isolating himself from the world led to him becoming dangerously unstable. He violently lashes out whenever someone insists on approaching him, to the point of threatening harm on the Cutie Mark Crusaders for accidentally finding a way into his home.
- Be as Unhelpful as Possible: Even when Starfleet is going after Windy Bag, Mykan doesn't antagonize them any less.
- Evil Counterpart: More like selfish and jerkish counterpart, but he is a completely self-centered person who rejects help in rude ways, and overall a far worse person than human Mykan.
- Expy: If you've seen any of Mykan's "punishment fics" starring Davis Motomiya or Beast Boy, then you can tell he's pretty much this to them.
- Hates Everyone Equally: He believes that absolutely no one is trustworthy beyond himself, and as such goes to extreme measures to make sure that they stay away from him.
- It's All About Me: As far as he's concerned, only he can understand his own problems. Anyone else that tries is only trying to intrude on him, take advantage of him, or both. Even after he charges at Windy Bag, he only does so for completely selfish reasons.
- Jerkass: He is completely ungrateful and abrasive to people who want to help him.
- Lack of Empathy: Has no problem attacking the CMC even though they're just kids, and when Starfleet tries to help him, he still antagonizes them.
- Leave Me Alone!: He takes great measures to cut himself off from the rest of the world and refuses to tell anyone about his troubles, even resorting to eating out of garbage cans.
- Manchild: His default mindset seems to be that of a child throwing a temper tantrum. Even when he's not throwing one, he comes off as quite immature, as he never takes responsibility for his actions (like scaring the crap out of the CMC and later refusing their attempts to help him) or tries to understand others' feelings.
- No Indoor Voice: When he does speak, it's always in the form of angry ranting and yelling.
- No Sympathy: He does not care about the problems of anyone but himself.
- The Paranoiac: He thinks the entire world is apathetic to him at best and out to get him at worst, resulting in him holing himself up in his family home with numerous deterrents to keep outsiders away. He realizes he is wrong and nobody but Windy Bag is out to get him. He focuses his malice on her.
- Stupid Sacrifice: Dies taking apart Windy Bag's machine and causing it to explode. However, the machine had been sabotaged and Windy Bag was already beaten, meaning that he died accomplishing absolutely nothing.
- Too Dumb to Live: Attacking a Death Ray even after Windy Bag was defeated and the machine was damaged and made potentially dangerous? Definitely not his brightest idea.
- Took a Level in Kindness: When he realizes the only one who has wronged him was Windy Bag, he focuses his wrath on her and apologizes to everybody else for his attitude. He still does not become nice, but it is an improvement.
- Ungrateful Bastard: So much. Even though Starfleet attempts to help him, he never responds favorably and tries his level best to get them off his back. Except when it turns out Celestia, the Elements and Starfleet never wronged him and it was all Windy Bag. Then he charges at her in the front lines.
- Would Hurt a Child: The way he reacted to the CMC intruding on his home suggests that he was willing to inflict harm on them to keep them from getting away.
Human Sunset Shimmer
Being evil and vengeful were her only personality traits in "A Tale of Two Sunsets". After her Heel–Face Turn, she drops those in favor of being Artie's Love Interest, making her even blander.
- Babies Ever After: Is expecting one with Artie in X and XI.
- Death by Origin Story: Her father died before she was born, and her mother joined him a few years later.
- Satellite Love Interest: Post Heel–Face Turn, she becomes one to Artie in IX.
Agapi
Being a Love Goddess is her only character trait.
- Action Girl: She proves to be even stronger than Starfleet, killing Von Devilor personally.
- Dying Curse: She didn't exactly die, but she did trap the Devils in another realm and render them unable to live in the normal world with one. Until Starfleet breaks it.
- Gold and White Are Divine: Wears a white and golden dress.
- Grand Theft Me: Her spirit swaps places with Cadance's to escape Von Devilor.
Why she never just possesses Cadance and have both of them escape is not yet answered inside the stories, since she left Von Devilor with a functional power source. Word of God says Cadance's soul acts as a decoy to help her escape, which makes her look very selfish. - Gratuitous Greek: Possibly. Agapi ("Αγάπη") means "Love" in Greek.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Her real form has long blond hair and she's intended to be a good guy.
- Killed Off for Real: After Von Devilor dies, she leaves Cadence's body and moves on to the afterlife.
- Love Goddess: Agapi is a powerful being whose powers are centered around romantic love and light, but she was also able to make cloudy days sunny and bring flowers back to life. It doesn't get more specific than that.
- Meaningful Name: Agapi is derived from agape, the concept of universal, unconditional love. However, she seems to be the goddess of romantic love, which is eros.
- Pale Females, Dark Males: The Pale Female to Devian's Dark Male.
Sir Arien
The guardian of the dream world.
- Arch-Enemy: Of the Nightmares and especially Lady Phantasma, being the guardian of dreams.
- The Chooser of the One: He chose Castor and Leilani to protect the dreams.
- Decomposite Character: Takes over Princess Luna's job as dream guardian.
- Distressed Dude: While he does help Starfleet stand up to the Nightmares by giving them his power and information about his world, his most notable role is being captured close to the climax twice.
- The Dog Bites Back: After being on the run from Phantasma and having to see his own power be used for evil, he finishes her off personally.
- Knight in Shining Armor: He fits this both in appearance and personality.
- Let's Get Dangerous!: In the entire story, he either gives advice, hides or gets captured by Phantasma. However, when Phantasma has cornered her foes completely in the very final chapter of Season XI, he shows why he is the guardian of dreams, as he personally and very quickly turns the tables on Phantasma, capturing her instead and leaving her helpless. Then he personally finishes her off.
- Pretty Boy: He is described as being very handsome, and the ladies do find him attractive.
Luminous
In General
- Our Fairies Are Different: These fairies are tiny, teleporting humanoids who live on the planet Luminous.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: They can teleport and they supposedly also have super strength, at least for their tiny size.
Krysta
If she's here, who will protect Ferngully?
Click here to see Queen Krystalline
Lightning's Fairy Companion and later the queen of fairies. Also has an arc of trying to find her home and does get some competence.
- Butt-Monkey: An entire chapter is dedicated to her getting constantly wet in the fight with a water monster.
- Captain Obvious: Upon meeting Rhymey, a character who speaks entirely in rhyme, she remarks "Wow, he sure does love rhyming." Not long after, she wanders into a restaurant and remarks upon how hungry everybody is.
- Demoted to Extra: She is acknowledged maybe once or twice in My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic III despite being the main character's best friend. However, she does get a few more appearances later on.
- The Ditz: Unintentionally comes off as this. Apart from forgetting about her powers, or those of her whole species, more than once, she also tends to state the obvious, keeps entering the battlefield while risking getting separated from her kingdom again, and at one point, fell for trap so obvious, it got listed in the What An Idiot section.
- Dumb Blonde: Most likely unintentional, but she certainly does come off as unintelligent. She also happens to have blonde hair.
- Expy: Is named after the main character of Ferngully and appearance-wise is pretty much Fluttershy with her mane and coat color swapped, and in human form. She also resembles Navi from Zelda a lot in her first appearance.
- Fairy Companion: For Lightning. Named after a certain other animated fairy.
- Faux Action Girl: Supposedly, she's fairly strong for her size and is capable of fighting, but almost never actually accomplishes anything in a fight. In later seasons, she learns to harness her innate fairy magic and grows out of this as a result.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She's supposed to be a good person, but in practice, she comes off as kind of a jerk instead.
- Identity Amnesia: Krysta isn't even her full name, just the partial fragment she remembers. She's Queen Krystalline of the world of Luminous.
- Jerkass: Is rude to Twilight for having the audacity to think that someone should not kill all of their enemies.
- Let's Get Dangerous!: After getting kidnapped or otherwise being a load for an entire season, she saves all heroes in the final battle by cleverly using portals to reflect the Uniforce at Titan, in one of the best moments of anyone in the series.
- The Load: She's more of a hindrance to the others than anything, since she can't contribute well to fights and often ends up as a bargaining chip for the villains to use against the heroes.
- Magic Knight: Supposedly, she can combine magical and physical ability in combat.
- Old Man Marrying a Child: Implied. Krysta's around 20 when she reunites with Topaz, Topaz is old enough to have gray hair, and they were married for ten years before they reunited. This means that Krysta would have been a child while Topaz was middle-aged at youngest when they got married. Thankfully, the fic has since been rewritten to make Topaz have gold hair instead.
- Palette Swap: Of someone's fanart of human Fluttershy apparently.
- Pink Is Feminine: Is the only other female member of the original team and wears a pink dress and slippers, even in her royal outfit.
- Super-Strength: The narration in her introductory episode states she can lift 3,000 times her own weight. She rarely ever uses this strength. In Starfleet Humans, she demonstrates this by dropping a huge boulder onto a hostile dragon's head.
- Thinking Up Portals: When she reclaims her position among the fairies, Krysta learns to use the teleportation magic inherent to her species. As said in Season 1, Chapter 18
:“You a warping fairy, from the planet Luminous, just like me. We warping fairies, although small possess extraordinary powers. Not only are we able to lift very heavy things— up to three-thousand times our own weight— we possess the ability to do just as our class suggests. We warp the energy around us for offense and defense, and we also have the power to create instant portals that can teleport us and any parties to any location within range, even way out in space.” - Took a Level in Badass: In early seasons, all Krysta gets to do in a fight is get pushed around by bad guys. Once she reclaims her throne as queen of the fairies, she learns to use fairy magic and thus becomes much more capable.
- Two Girls to a Team: She and Starla are this to Starfleet.
- Weak, but Skilled: She might be described as physically strong, but she is outshined by most of the cast in terms of strength. This forces her to be creative by using her portals to warp heroes and reflect enemy attacks.
- What the Hell, Hero?: When Twilight expresses qualms about killing Starfleet's enemies. Because being uncertain that you should kill all of your enemies is definitely a trait that should be called out on.Krysta: "Twilight, I like you, but… sometimes I think you really need to wake up and stop kidding yourself."
Mallow
He's a fairy scout looking for Krysta, and that's it.
King Topaz
He's Krysta's husband, and that's it.
- Age-Gap Romance: Implied; he's stated to have gray hair, while Krysta is still very clearly a young adult.
- Old Man Marrying a Child: Implied. Topaz is apparently old enough to have gray hair, while his wife is around Lightning's age, and therefore barely 20 at oldest with they reunited. The "Child" part comes in with the reveal that they were married ten years before the events of I. Not engaged, married. Krysta would be a preteen at oldest and Topaz middle-aged at youngest at the time. Thankfully, the fic has since been rewritten to make Topaz have gold hair instead.
Twink
The only time he shows any real character traits is for one chapter as a rebellious teen, which is promptly dropped afterwards.
- Remember the New Guy?: He is Krysta's adopted son, who suddenly appears with no foreshadowing in My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic II, Episode 1. When asked about why he suddenly appears, Mykan answered "New characters get thrown in all the time (everyone knows that)".
Herboss
In General
Herbolites are plant-like humanoid aliens who live in a jungle planet.
- Planet of Hats: Planimals who live on a lush jungle planet.
- Planimal: Plant-like humanoid aliens.
- Single-Biome Planet: Their homeworld's covered entirely in jungle. The lack of trees in certain areas are what first tip Buddy off that something's not right.
Moss
A Herbolite fighting to liberate Herboss.
- Those Two Girls: With Iris.
Iris
She's a Herbolite fighting to liberate Herboss.
- One-Steve Limit: Averted; she shares her name with Buddy's sister.
- Those Two Girls: With Moss.
Firmos
In General
- Amazing Technicolor Population: The Fermentials can have either golden, silver, or copper skin.
- Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: Their metallic skin is fitting for a people who used to mine ores.
- Riches to Rags: They used to be a wealthy civilization before Sienna's crew wrecked it, and now they're all in poverty until Starfleet arrives.
Tomakar
Being a Fermential is his only personality trait.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Silver skin.
Ainzul
In General
- Alien Sky: Bright red, like a sunset.
- Cat Folk: The Ainzulians are big cats, mostly tigers and lions.
- Fantasy Counterpart Culture: To pre-1900s China.
- Planet of Hats: They're Chinese felines who used to be warriors, but decide to give up their military so Starfleet can protect them.
- Suicidal Pacifism: They no longer wish to be warriors. Thus, they disband their whole army and surrender themselves to another kingdom for protection. Said kingdom has an army less competent than the Ainzulian one. The results are predictable.
- Too Dumb to Live: Giving up their military to an empire which believes they are the superior species is beyond foolish, especially when said empire proves incapable of containing for ten minutes a demon whom Ainzul could hold for ten thousand years. Ainzul still doesn't call off the treaty.
Queen Mowaza
She's the queen of Ainzul, and that's it.
- The High Queen: Well, technically, she's supposed to be an Empress because Ainzul is based off of Imperial China, but she fits the trope.
- Interchangeable Asian Cultures: Her kingdom's based off of China, but she wears a kimono, which is Japanese.
- King of Beasts: Mowaza is a lioness and the ruler of an entire planet.
- Panthera Awesome: Well, 'awesome' is debatable, but she's a lioness and royalty.
Balia
She's Mowaza's daughter, a Suicidal Pacifist, and that's it.
- Obstructionist Pacifist: To Too Dumb to Live levels; when Starfleet warns her about Stammadon, instead of contacting Mowaza to ask if what they said is true, she just ignores them because she wants Ainzul to pursue peace.
- Vague Age: She's mentioned to be young, but it's not known how young. Given that the "heroes" are in their early 20s, she's likely a minor.
Tiamo
In General
- Far East: They wear kimonos, use pagodas as residential places, have faux Asianesque names like Ping-Lo, and are stated to resemble Horn Kong.
- Pink Girl, Blue Boy: Female and male members are colored like this.
- Planet of Hats: They are a pacifistic, generically East Asian planet like Horn Kong.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: They fear dragons, much to Spike's chagrin.
Sango-Chi
She speaks in third person. That's it.
- Tagalong Kid: She's Ping-Lo's daughter who's also a young girl.
- Third-Person Person: Speaks like this... for some reason.
Ping-Lo
He's Sango's father, his job is to maintain the temple he operates, and that's it.
Hedra
In General
- Our Pixies Are Different: In this case, humanoid, fairy-like creatures who are the same size as the space ponies.
- Our Trolls Are Different: Here, they're small, furry, stout, technicolor creatures.
- Planet of Hats: The surface dwellers are pixies and trolls who are superstitious, stubborn, and worship a golden pinwheel.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The surface dwelling, superstitious, stubborn Red Oni to the reclusive, underground, relatively reasonable moles' Blue Oni.
Hedran Moles
The moles live underground in Hedra, led by Emperor Digger.
- Enemy Mine: Sort of. They start hostile to Starfleet, thinking they were sent by the pixies. They become far more friendly when they learn Starfleet is an enemy of the Insectos, which are also enemies of the moles.
- Mole Men: They're anthropomorphic moles.
- Planet of Hats: Moles who live underground, and are much saner, but more secretive, than the surface dwelling pixies and trolls.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The reclusive, underground, relatively reasonable Blue Oni to the surface dwelling, superstitious, stubborn pixies/trolls' Red Oni.
- Tunnel King: An entire race of such.
- Underground City: Being underground dwellers, this naturally occurs.
Emperor Digger
He's the leader of the Hedran moles, and that's it.
- Authority Equals Asskicking: Implied; he's bigger than the other moles, and wears golden and silver armor.
- Cool Crown: Wears a golden laurel for one.
- Large and in Charge: He is the biggest mole and their emperor.
- MacGuffin: The golden pinwheel is actually a family heirloom that was lost when the Insectos plundered the moles' city.
Vistula
In General
- Honor Before Reason: Their Ultimate Challenge hinges on this. The winner gets whatever they were fighting for, even romantic interest in someone, while the loser is exiled for life. The only reasons it even exists rely on it being tradition and rooting out the "unfit".
- Human Aliens: If Dearka is of any indication, they are this trope.
- Too Dumb to Live: Just like Ainzul, they give up their entire military to Starfleet. Also like Ainzul, they still go through with the treaty, even after Starfleet display their incompetence by failing a mission to protect a single person (Calista).
Calista
She's Dearka's love interest.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Light blue skin.
- Killed Off for Real: Gets offed by Von Devilor, which only serves to push Dearka into defecting from him.
- The Lost Lenore: Dearka is this to her.
- The Reveal: She was never married, suggesting that Dearka's visit to Vistula was fabricated.
- Undignified Death: Levitates and explodes upon death. Yes, you read that correctly.
Metros
In General
- Planet of Hats: Human Aliens who live in a large city and will blindly trust any stranger that sells them something, whether it's Titan's forces telling them that the suspicious-looking reactor will help power their city or letting the same force they feared ten minutes ago put their outposts in their city and assimilate them into their empire because they saved them from brainwashing. Keep in mind that both Titan and Starfleet are strangers to the Metrosians.
Paulesqa
The mayoress of Metro City who gets imprisoned and impersonated by an impostor.
- Mayor Pain: Subverted. She seems to be hostile to Starfleet and evil, but that was an impostor, and the real one is benevolent.
Blisstonians
In General
- Belief Makes You Stupid: Exist solely to enforce this aesop.
- Blind Obedience: To a higher power of sorts, and it's their sole character trait.
- Expy: They're based on Christian Scientists. Specifically, they're based on a portrayal of them from an episode of Family Guy. They believe that all their problems can be solved just by praying and refuse more practical solutions to their problems. Both also get given a speech by the main characters where they're told that their prayers are being answered, just through different means.
- Human Aliens: Like most alien species, they're basically humans with technicolor skin.
- Planet of Hats: Blind faith in a divine power and miracles is the one noteworthy thing about them.
Mindia
- Dumb Blonde: Is depicted this way thanks to her blind faith in miracles.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She has long blonde hair and is benevolent, if not very bright.
- Light Is Good: Again, she's a white-skinned blonde alien wearing white and gold robes, and a sun pendant, and she's largely benevolent, if not particularly sharp.
Primm and Prei
Have no personalities other than being Mindia's daughters and having crushes on Dyno and Myte.
- Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Mindia's the Blonde, Primm's the Brunette, and Prei has brown hair but corresponds to the Redhead.
- Punny Name: Primm is one letter from "prim", Prei sounds like "pray".
- Satellite Love Interest: They are largely defined by their relationships to other people, particularly their crush on Dyno and Myte.
