It's all uphill from here.

Squad Four in General
Squad Four in My Superhero Academy
Even more than squad 3, squad 4 is currently a mass of individuals. That's their main characteristic really. This year the lack of couples only furthered the fragmentation.
- Hufflepuff House: As mentioned, squad 4 is a mass of individuals as close as any random sample of 8 people or so on the subway.
Peregrine "Perry" Alastor (Stray)
Player: Jumping Fruit
Wandering Summoner of Lost Spirits
- Parental Abandonment: She was abandoned because of her weak ability to summon and channel human spirits. Her parents dropped her off on a street corner and told her to wait. They never came back. She ended up being raised by her spirit pets. The experience turned her a little bit feral.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: This is the implied reason as to why her spirit pets follow her.
- Street Urchin: Perry was one of these for two years, until she was Recruited from the Gutter by Saint Solutions and given the opportunity to attend Saint Academy.
- You No Take Candle / Buffy Speak: This is how Perry talks. She's not good with explaining things in general, really. She can't seem to remember names and instead uses nicknames.
- The Minion Master: Her powers let her summon a large amount of animal spirits, provided that she has some kind of positive interaction with them first. This is limited to mistreated pets for some unknown reason.
- Powers via Possession: Currently, she has three "best friends" that she can channel. Each grants her different abilities and a shadowy aura to signify who she's channeling.
- Rollo the wolfdog gives her a significant boost to her strength, a more sensitive sense of smell, and sharper teeth.
- Lucky the cat gives her a boost to her speed and agility, flexibility, muffled footsteps, nightvison, a righting reflex, and shadowy claws.
- Pip the cockatoo gives her a pair of shadowy wings and the ability to mimic voices.
Iuvem
- Anthropomorphic Personification / Cosmic Being / Golem: Even though his golem body was created from the remains of the planet Jupiter, his hidden sentience/conscience was always inside the planet.
- The Big Guy / The Smart Guy.
- The Comically Serious: He can be this sometimes.
- Combat Pragmatist / Genius Bruiser: He can be analytical and strategic, but can also be The Big Guy of the squad.
- Making a Splash / An Ice Person: With his hydrogen manipulation powers, he can control water, ice and also steam.
- Older Than Dirt / Really 700 Years Old: His hidden conscience is as old the planet itself: around 4.6 billion years old.
- Shattered World: Subverted. Thanks to the tomfoolery of his destroyers. He got back together as a "golem".
Vivian
Cole Streiss
Player: Nick The Swing The Multiverse Traveler
- A God I Am Not: His tack - he has tremendous amounts of power, yes. But this does not give him the right to play god, and he is committed to not using it cruelly. He completely rejects any notion of being superior or better than the average person.
- Alien Geometry: Created a flower out of energy for Evelyn...a flower that is much, much bigger on the inside. He doesn't even know about that latter part.
- Alternate Self: Cole even remembers several alternate selves to the students of Saint University...some of whom were, awkwardly enough, his enemies. It makes socializing with the class rather strange for him.
- Arch-Enemy: Alpha-Leunis is always his foe whenever the two encounter each other, though Ignis is a more recurring threat to him. Ignis is stated to have followed and manipulated forces against Cole throughout his dimensional travels. Even going as far as impersonating Cole so as to screw with him.
- Badass Boast: Cole seems to be fond of them. His reaction to Hawk calling him a liar is a cheerful "You don't know me. But when this is over, you will." True to his word, he stomped Hawk into the ground.
- Child Soldiers: Given he was involved with a group called Clan Asher, fighting against Alpha-Leunis when Cole was just 14. The situation was really just that bad.
- Deadpan Snarker: Cole can be a bit of a wise-ass, but his heart is very much in the right place.
- Dimensional Traveler: He's been around the multiversal block. Sometimes he travels the 'verse intentionally, other times less so.
- Fashion Dissonance: Cole is basically the living embodiment of 2004-2005 fashion. Everything's tight, there's denim, boots...
- Good Is Not Soft: Known for his commitment to freedom and fiercely anti-authoritarian, Cole may not wantonly employ deadly force and prefers solving things without it, but he's certainly not opposed to deadly force. As he is wont to point out, he's a freedom fighter / terrorist. If he has to use lethal force, he absolutely will. Not even purely physical lethal force; if he thinks he can save lives by simply shutting your mind off, he will.
- Handsome Lech: Cole has a bit of a history of involvement with the opposite sex. However, he's still remarkably chivalrous about his advances, and keeps things from being creepy.
- La Résistance: Was involved in one against Alpha-Leunis, the cruel overlord of his original world.
- Megaton Punch: By concentrating his psionic power into his arms, he can deliver an enormously powerful punch.
- Power Incontinence: His powers heavily shift from high to low randomly - he has next to no control over them.
- Psychic Powers: Singularly powerful ones - if things align properly, Cole is overwhelmingly powerful, able to rearrange atoms, psychically communicate en masse, travel the multiverse casually...
- Unskilled, but Strong: But Cole is nothing if not the epitome of high power, poor control. To the extent that his powers are handled by a random number generator.
- Reality Warper: At his highest levels of power. When you can casually take a stroll through the multiverse, you're this.
Iona Bassano (Hecate)
Player: Undying Phoenix
Mason Bridges
One of the new students of Saint University and Squad 1, Mason Bridges comes from a family of scientists who study the various dimensions and a conventional way to travel between then, when Mason's mom passed he took the technology that they'd been working on, a kind of suit designed to withstand the Elemental Planes, and went to Saint Academy to find a way to make a name for himself, and a way to traverse the planes and keep his parents dream alive.
Tropes
- Expy:
Word of God states that Mason is inspired by and takes characteristics from several Kamen Rider protagonists, such as his his love of science, his desire to make friends, and preference for elemental powers. - I Just Want to Be Special: Something Mason wants in the beginning is to be remembered, but a trip into a Nightmare Dimension fixes that desire before it becomes...a problem.
Tyulla
Player: Enirboreh
An ancient(?), powerful being made of a malleable cosmic substance who (apparently) decided the best appearance to take was a semi-adorable Slime Girl. Previously known as the Rampant Primordial due to the childish glee she found in destroying planetary bodies, Tyulla has apparently been tamed by a certain Mason Bridges to the point of even becoming his roommate.
- Badass Bookworm: Strangely seems to enjoy reading old classic novels and works of nonfiction, even though she also has the capability to project destructive beams of dark energy from her fingertips.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: Tyulla seems to run on a logic based around ‘what bothers me/doesn't bother me’ more so than any actual ethics. Made somewhat more understandable by the fact she used to be a rampaging planet-destroyer before she arrived on Earth, but it can still make reasoning with her hard on occasion.
- Expy: Of Majin Buu from Dragon Ball Z. Her backstory, sweet-loving tendencies, and her physical appearance are all unquestionably based off of him (specifically, his Kid Buu form).
- Humanoid Abomination: Claims to have been born from a mass of primordial goop in the gestation of the Universe itself, though there's reason to believe that she's actually much younger than this and was born fairly recently. Either way, she wasn't born by any traditional means, and that's also evident by her behaviour.
- Immortal Immaturity: Loves sweets and prone to childish periods of sulking, and generally behaves like a curious but somewhat grumpy child despite her true age. This is most likely because she's barely even interacted with any other sapient creatures before—excluding vaporizing them, of course.
- Ki Manipulation: Of a sort. In her early state, Tyulla consumed a nebulous being infused with dark energy shortly after her birth, causing her to also be infused with said dark energy and become able to tap into a vast reserve of it at will. Though technically not Life Energy, she is significantly weakened by its removal to the point where she could even become weaker than a human being.
- Psychopathic Manchild: Used to be this; with her love of sweets and tendency to throw tantrums contrasting with her maniacal ruthlessness and penchant for blowing up entire planets for perceived wrongdoings. Since her time with Mason, she seems to have started to at least gain a superficial sense of morality (even if her empathy is still questionable).
- Slime Girl: Apparently made of a nougat-coloured, celestial putty. As expected, she can warp and shift her form at will because of it.
