Characters / The (Not So) Cynical Creators Guild

Characters:

Tip: To get an image of the user’s avatar, perform a reverse image search on said avatar to find a high-quality version. If the picture is not available elsewhere, trying asking the user for said high-quality version.

This page obviously doesn’t cover everybody, due to the sheer number of users. Feel free to add yourself or anyone else.

Tropes applying to the group as a whole:

• Alliterative Name: Several.
• The Bus Came Back: When notably absent users return.
• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Most of the users listed here are the ones currently active in the group. Because of how long the group has been around, the vast majority in the entire group are inactive.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Many of the members are eccentric to say the least.
• Hero of Another Story: Many members have ambitious accounts on other sites. LyraAlluse has a convenient list on her page of hers.
• Leitmotif: In the old group, there existed a thread documenting songs intended to serve as theme songs for users; some self-appointed, some picked by others.
• Put on a Bus: When we know why inactive users are inactive.
• Remember the New Guy?: While many newcomers use the introduction thread, others just casually drop in and start posting.
• Spell My Name with a "The": Several usernames.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: Downplayed. Most of the time.

Admins

The Cynical Brony

• Fun with Acronyms: The acronym of his username matches that of a popular MLP fanfiction.
• Judge, Jury, and Executioner: Will often lock threads containing repeated issues before they get out of hand.
• Passing the Torch: Founded the new group, automatically making him the head admin as opposed to Lyra.

Colonel Jenna Cipher

• Balance Between Good and Evil: Constantly expresses a desire for it.
• Berserk Button: Calling RWBY “overrated.”]]
• Big Eater: Demonstrated in her thread from the old group, “I Require Unreasonable Amounts Of Sugar”.
• Big Sister Instinct: Comforts her ten-year-old cousin after she read a chain “repost or die” story.
• Catchphrase: “This... does put a smile on my face.”
• Does Not Like Spam: She hates oatmeal raisin cookies to the point that she calls them evil.
• The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: You won’t typically get to see her doing the kind of activities you would expect from a Colonel.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Chocolate chip cookies.

Doctor Grant

• Beast and Beauty: Has this as a fetish.
• I Have Many Names: Has changed his name and avatar a few times, for “experimentation”.
  • Meaningful Rename: One of his renames was "Doctor Parker" as a reference to Peter Parker and how similar the both of them are. This has led to Leondude making jokes about how SweetAI Belle would pull a Superior Spider Man on Grant/Parker because A.I. Is a Crapshoot and because that's what Doctor Octopus did (as well as SweetAI apparently being similar to Doc Ock).
• May–December Romance: Also a fetish of his.
• N-Word Privileges: Justifies using “autistic” in an unflattering way with the fact that he has autism himself.
• Precision F-Strike: Doesn't swear as much as the other members but two of the threads he made are titled "Fuck You, DeviantArt" and "When a Fucking YouTube Crossover Video Tells a Better LBT story than most LBT Sequels".
• Put on a Bus: Has recently left FiMFiction long-term to tend to his family and has even requested himself to be banned from the site to avoid the temptation of returning.
  • The Bus Came Back: Has recently been unbanned. Downplayed in that he says it's only temporary and his actual return would be much later.
• Those Two Guys: With jidbrony. Also with Leondude ever since the latter joined the group.

Fossil-Dragon-Messiah

• Ascended Fanboy: Was made an admin in the new group.
• Berserk Button: Fetishistic RWBY fan art. Also, he really doesn't like how freely Leondude admits to certain habits of his.
• Meaningful Name: Subverted:
  Fervidor: Huh. So his name doesn't refer to the fossil of a dragon but, like, a fossil dragon? As in a fire or ice dragon, except for fossils? I'm honestly not sure if that makes more or less sense.
• Terrible Artist: Thinks this of himself when it comes to SFM art.

LightOfTriumph

• King of Games: His love of video gaming appears to extend to just about every console and franchise, given the variation of his Top Ten list.

Mystical Rainboom

• Ascended Fanboy: Was made an admin in the new group.
• Berserk Button: Being rushed.
• Harmless Villain: Called himself “the edgiest and most badass rebel of the [old] group”... because he dips McDonald’s fries in Wendy’s sauce. He does, however, later claim to have taken Boneless hostage.
• Large Ham: [Grrrrr] Mystic Smash!!
• Pungeon Master
• Hey, That's My Line!: Played with whenever someone else uses the XD emote at the end of a post or reply
• Trademark Favorite Food: Played with. Says he doesn’t have a favorite, but if he did, it would likely be spaghetti.
• Unusual Euphemism: "So watch your burping language."
• Verbal Tic: The “XD” emote.

Officer Hotpants

• Ascended Fanboy: Was made an admin in the new group.
• Amazon Chaser: Posts pictures of hefty ponies.
  I approve of anything that leads to more princess butt.
• Different in Every Episode: Often changes his profile pic, usually to ones of Princess Cadence.
• The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: For an officer, he never talks about having prevented robberies, done drug busts, etc.

SweetAI Belle

• Jack of All Trades Because they admin countless groups.

Others

the7Saviors

• Captain Obvious: His thoughts on squid are that it is “definitely seafood”.
• Nightmare Fetishist: Like Disavowed ASH, the7Saviors is into the more darker stuff on FiMFiction (or just dark things in general).

Amereep

• Deadpan Snarker: Especially during his meme war with Leondude on May 4th.
• The Nicknamer
• No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: Has stated that if ever someone were to steal his work, he would take it as a compliment to the quality of said work.

AntiBronyBenSwolo

• Gosh Dang It to Heck!: Possibly the only member of the group to not swear, instead using minced oaths.
• Mr. Imagination: Spends a lot of time coming up with ideas for his stories and characters and presenting them to the group.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Immediately deleted a post titled 'Happy Bismarck Launch Day' after finding out it was a Nazi warship.
• Pungeon Master: "Looks like his lightsaber's been ignited."
• Worthy Opponent: Considers the show itself to be this after it ended.

Assy Assman

• Trademark Favorite Food: Apparently Prego sauce.
• Tome of Eldritch Lore: His story "The Book of Ass".

CaptainPinkiePie

Captain Pinkie Pie! Nah, just Pinkie Pie.

Hi there, my name is CaptainPinkiePie and I made this trope folder just for you! See my tropers page for more tropes about me, especially since I don't interact with the group members that often.

The Castaway Pariah

• The Atoner
• Big Brother Instinct: While he’s actually younger than Lyra and isn’t her sibling, the reason he enjoys irritating ProMonarchyGenius is because of a spat PMG had with Lyra in December 2017.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Although the style he's going for is more spiritual than dark.
• Mistaken Identity: Mega's trolls believe he's an alt of Mega SevenWays.
• Out-of-Character Alert: Quillian feels all is not right with him when he's too down in the dumps to post any new entertaining stuff.
• Put on a Bus to Hell: Seemed to have deleted his FiMFiction account at some point.
• Sad Clown
• Stepford Smiler: In the thread from the old group where users were told to act the exact opposite of themselves:
  Hi! I'm a nice decent person]] who loves his life and deserves to have friends! Now I'll hug all of you and never once feel unworthy!
• Yes-Man: To Lyra.

Chatoyance

See her creator page for details.

Chill Sweet

• Aesop Amnesia: You'd think after the first couple of threads got locked that they'd learn to keep politics in the 'Post News, Politics, And Religious Stuff Here' thread only.
• Bus Crash: Was permanently banned from the group after one spam or political thread too many. Later deleted their account.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: It does not take much for them to start typing in all-caps and/or swearing whenever someone disagrees with them.

The Crazy Cazadore

Warning Does not react well to being shipped or challenged. For your own safety these actions are ill advise. Otherwise enjoy being sown to your friends and chained to the devil for my amusement.

• Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: His username was The Crazy Cazadore, then The Crazy Droid, then The Crazy Cazadroid. Then back to The Crazy Cazadore.
• Establishing Character Moment: His post in the introduction thread works to this effect:
  Hello I am a genetically altered cazadore who has a list thats running out of targets to kill.
• Forced Transformation: Claims he was briefly turned into a dragon, and a hat.
• Large Ham

Dandereshy

• Nice Guy

Diokno44

• Katanas Are Just Better: Owns one.

Disavowed ASH

• Dark and Troubled Past: Has made a thread detailing his. The most notable part is that he and his dad nearly died in a house fire when he was 11 years old.
• Nightmare Fetishist: Possibly. He does seem to be into some dark stuff and he is a horror writer.
• Occult Detective: Presents himself as this.
• Retired Badass: Seems to have given up his admin position at some point.
• Self-Deprecation: Can be prone to this at times.
• Suddenly Shouting: One might read his username like this.

DmitriTheWriter

• Actually Pretty Funny: His response to Leondude comparing him to Valve^note Because he only did two days of making memes based on Guild members and Valve is infamous for not making (and in some cases, even outright cancelling) proper third installments for their games. is an amused "Well played, sir".
• Different in Every Episode: Occasionally changes his profile pic.
• Production Posse: Has frequently worked with Leondude on the latter's fanfics.
• Running Gag: Making rickroll threads, usually disguised as bad news.

Dyslexic Foal

"There's not much to say, I am a Brony and I like old music and old movies."

• Different in Every Episode: Regularly changes his avatar.
• Butt-Monkey: He's kind of a joke in the group.
• Guilty Pleasure: Was less than thrilled when he watched a Starlight episode and liked it.
• Journey to Find Oneself : He left the site and the group on 1/1/20 to become a "Adult". Will he come crawling back eventually like he always does? Only time will tell.
• Mood-Swinger: His post and comments can some times be chill, other times he can be a snob.
• The Movie Buff: Adores classic media.
• Mysterious Watcher: While he is no longer active, he still checks up on the new posts on occasion.
• Rouge Anglesof Satin: He has horrible grammar.

EverfreePony

• Bizarre Taste in Food: When he was sick as a kid, he had to ingest a mixture of honey and onion... which he liked the taste of. When asked if he still enjoys the taste, he says he’s “been trying to distance himself from the stuff ever since”.

Fervidor

• Agent Mulder: Supposedly believes that blue lava (caused by high sulfur content in the area, also found in the volcano's gases) is actually a gateway to another dimension.
• Dead Person Impersonation: Or rather just Absent Person Impersonation. After The Crazy Cazadore supposedly left the old group (he actually just changed his name), Fervidor said he would change his name to The Crazy Fervidor to “carry on in her stead”.
• It Amused Me: His justification for making his player character in Dragon's Dogma a twelve-year-old girl with pigtails. It had the added effect of making the scenes with Aelinore more creepy.
• Large Ham: At least according to Amereep.
• Token Nonhuman: The general consensus is that Fervidor is a goat.

gamexpert1990

• King of Games: Didn’t you figure as such from his name? Classic Nintendo is his favorite.
• Portmanteau
• Retired Badass: Stepped down from his admin position on May 7 2018.

Glen Gorewood

• The Insomniac: And he does not like it one bit.

Herrpface

• Trademark Favorite Food: Hot Cheetos and/or bagels.

KaBar42

• Important Haircut: At least important enough that he made a thread in the old group about it.

Kell

• Does Not Like Spam: Or rather, bacon.

Kody The Ultimate Brony

• Pedo Hunt: He is a convicted pedophile.
• Put on a Prison Bus: Was arrested for raping an under-age girl and is likely to serve a life sentence
• Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Enough for even Leondude to block him.

Leondude

• Actually Pretty Funny: He thought Dmitri making fun of his dislike for Starlight Glimmer post-redemption was funny and even joked that it was easier to make memes out of than his mind-control fetish.
• The Alcoholic: Possibly, if making a few threads and even his own fan club while admitting to being skunk-drunk is any indication.
• Ambiguously Evil: He flat out admits he's disillusioned with right and wrong and yet, along with being a Christian, he seems like a very decent guy.
• The Anti-Nihilist: With sometimes posting songs like Don't Worry, Be Happy and Always Look on The Bright Side of Life in certain threads, he really does put the "Not-So-Cynical" in Not-So-Cynical Creator's Guild.
  • Even more so when, while everyone else was happy to see 2019 go due to it being so awful, he was the only one who saw the bright side of the year (even though he is willing to acknowledge the year hadn't been perfect).
• Attention Whore: He has no problem promoting himself and his works. While it is okay within certain groups on FiMFiction, this habit has actually gotten him permanently banned from TV Tropes. He even made a thread that expresses how someone else is more popular than him and it contains the words "PAY ATTENTION TO ME, DAMNIT!!!" in big bold letters.
• The Atoner: Downplayed in that what he's trying to atone for are relatively mundane such as swearing and masturbating, but if his activity on the Christian Bronies thread is to be believed, he has been repenting and trying to make up for his sins by focusing on his stories and Twitch Let's Plays. He may have fallen back into old habits.
• Berserk Button: He really doesn't like Starlight Glimmer after her Heel–Face Turn and will be sure to inform someone who does like Starlight ("post-redemption") of his opinion.
  • In case the other tropes didn't give it away, he's also prone to narcissistic rage.
• Black Comedy: His sense of humour can be very morbid at times, with his aristocrats joke being a shining example (until he had to censor it because Everyone Has Standards).
• British Teeth: In case he didn't make it obvious that he's British, he has also mentioned having bad dental hygiene from time to time (which the occasional face reveals being proof of that).
• Broken Pedestal: Considers the Sequel Trilogy to be this after The Rise of Skywalker.
• Can't Take Criticism: To the point that he stopped asking for his stories to be reviewed and even wrote a story about it with Starlight in his place. Possibly justified due to his stories receiving Critical Dissonance.
• Character Filibuster: Has on more than one occasion gone on a rant about something, usually something that pissed him off.
• Creepy Shadowed Undereyes: Also has these whenever he does a face reveal. They're especially prominent during his Let's Plays, though.
• Cynicism Catalyst: Him getting told off in his childhood only to find out that the things he was told off for were perfectly acceptable once he got older. Subverted in that he is The Anti-Nihilist.
• Everyone Has Standards: Morally ambiguous, he may be, but there are some things that he just doesn't like.
  • Like everyone else when a troll was posting NSFW pictures in different group forums, he was utterly revolted.
  • On a moral level, he was not happy when he found out Chris Niosi had a history of abusing people.
  • Despite his narcissistic tendencies, he actually blocked Kody The Ultimate Brony (who was a follower of his) and even deleted a (self-admittedly half-arsed) blog post linking to a fundraiser helping him.
  • He was shocked when he found a NSFW model of Meggy on SFMLabs. And not in the good way.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Downplayed in that he is Ambiguously Evil but he once said that he finds himself confused about truly altruistic deeds he did since they don't benefit him that much.
• The Gadfly : How else would you describe someone who intentionally makes threads as part of a Drinking Game despite knowing, if anyone participated in the Drinking Game, it would probably kill them? Downplayed in that he doesn't go out of his way to annoy others and he actually backs down when he thinks he pissed someone off.
• Green-Eyed Monster: Downplayed in that it's all in jest but Leondude makes it no secret when he's jealous of someone.
• I Am Very British: He is also a member of the UK Bronies group and he types in British English, which is especially noticeable when he uses words like "arse".
• Insistent Terminology: To make it clear he only hates Starlight after her Heel–Face Turn, she refers to her as "Starlight post-redemption" almost to Dick Grayson, age twelve levels.
• Messy Hair: Even more so than his profile pic. It even borders on Wild Hair.
• Narcissist: Discussed with CaptainPinkiePie.

  CaptainPinkiePie: Remember when you said there is a list of things wrong with you? Is one of them narcissistic personality disorder?
  Leondude: Dunno. Never got diagnosed with it.

• Nightmare Fetishist: He has mentioned having a mind-control fetish and was apparently drawn to grimdark stories when first coming to FiMFiction.
• Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: When he ain't making people laugh, he's busy creeping them out. Lampshaded by The Cynical Brony.

  The Cynical Brony: With no sarcasm or disrespect intended, why do you say such creepy things?
  Leondude: Uh...because I'm a creepy dude.

• Paralyzing Fear of Sexuality: In spite of freely admitting that he likes big busts and he cannot lie (along with making unpublished webcomics using SFM with the characters of Equestria Girls that are surprisingly safe for work but he still masturbates to them), he has mentioned that he finds sex to be repulsive and shows disdain for clopfics (unless they have detailed mind control, of course).
• The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: He is a self-proclaimed Dark Lord of the Sith but, unless his player character during his SW:TOR playthroughs on Twitch counts, he doesn't really do anything related to the dark side.
• Power Trio: With Jenna and Swolo in the present. It's even lampshaded by Amereep:
  Amereep: I see the Council of Three has assembled once more
  Leondude: We are the Sith Triumvirate.
• Pragmatic Villainy: One way of interpreting why he follows the site rules in spite of his disillusionment with right and wrong.
• Pungeon Master: Once made a thread suggesting that, in a very rare and hypothetical scenario in which there is a live-action RWBY film, Ruby Rose should play Ruby Rose. He lampshades it by using the "Several Bad Puns Later" timecard.
• Running Gag: If someone makes a statement he disagrees with, he will respond by sending them a clip of Palpatine saying "it's treason, then". He even did it when someone else did it before him.
  Leondude: You said my line.
  • Another one in a similar vain to that one (sometimes mixed in with Character Filibuster) is when he says "totally not [WHATEVER MOOD HE'S IN] followed by a GIF of Jim Carrey from Liar Liar laughing before walking away with an unhappy look on his face.
• Shameless Self-Promoter: In addition to being a member of The Shameless Self Promotion Bureau, he never misses an opportunity to promote his work in the group thread, The Share Center and his own blog.
• Sir Swears-a-Lot: Especially when he rants.
• Small Name, Big Ego: His bio has, along with the aforementioned information regarding his being a Sith Lord, labeled him as a professional voice actor and a celebrity. He has yet to meet any of those criteria.
• Trademark Favourite Food: If the topic of favourite desserts come up, he will declare his favourite dessert to be donuts.
• Those Two Guys: With Doctor Grant during his early days in the group.

lord-steak

• Happily Married: Probably the only member of the group who has a wife, much to the envy of some of the members.

  Leondude: Well, he is married and does have a daughter. I'd say he's the luckiest member of this group since most of us are probably in our twenties (or approaching 20 in my case) or thirties and we haven't got a girlfriend yet.

LyraAlluse

A level gazillion waffle mage goddess with infinite armor, invisibility, teleportation, and all of the power in the unibob.

• Beware the Nice Ones: She has been known to troll scammers. She also won’t hesitate to ban troublemakers who don’t learn.

• Defeat Means Friendship: For the most part, the few users who used to have a problem with her now consider her a friend, and she does so in return.
• Determinator: She has a non-fatal but inconvenient allergy to chocolate... but she doesn’t let that stop her from enjoying it.

• Loved by All: Very few, if any, have anything against Lyra.
  Cinder Vel: One day without Lyra is one day too many.
• Retired Badass: Deleted the old group and now enjoys regular membership in the new one.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Waffles with strawberry syrup.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: She’s sometimes mistaken for a guy.

Mega SevenWays

• Gamer Chick: She plays Pokémon, Hearts Of Iron IV, Europa Universalis IV, Fallout 4, Spore, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and many more.
• I Have Many Names: Depending on the account, she's eiher Dragon's Blaze, SevenWays, or NewUnitedEmpire.
• Mistaken Identity: Farla and co. have made a game in roping as many users as her as possible.
• Odd Name Out: Most usernames in the group comprised of multiple words are either separated or strung together as one long word, but hers does both.
• Retired Badass: Resigned from her admin position on July 30th 2018.

Mine Menace

• Berserk Button: When he’s waiting to go somewhere with someone but that someone is taking their sweet time.
• Bizarre Taste in Food: Likes Vegemite...but is American.
• Different in Every Episode: Changes his avatar like Dyslexic Foal, but very irregularly.
• Fan Boy: When it comes to music, considering he created the music thread and posts a disproportionate amount of music in there. And especially pertaining to the band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (just don't get him started on them).

Muggonny

The Mysterious

• I Have Many Names: This also frequently changes.
• Mysterious Past

ObsidianPony

• Berserk Button: Several.

ProMonarchyGenius

• Berserk Button: Despises modern Disney.
• Conspiracy Theorist: Is convinced that Disney is plotting to take over the entire film industry.
• Long Bus Trip: Did not come back for the second group since Cynical denied him and StormLuna entry.
• They Don't Make Them Like They Used To: Despite his hatred of modern Disney, he does like classic Disney, most notably Fantasia 1940.
• Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Attempted and downplayed when he loudly announces leaving the group. No one sympathises with him. At all.

Quillian Inkheart

• Berserk Button: When he's accused of being a bully and when he rants about poorly-written clop in the featured box.
• Brilliant, but Lazy
  I'm lazy and don't have any specific software; just a creative mind and a lot of patience.
• The Collector: Has an outrageously large GIF collection.
• Intelligence Equals Isolation
• Loners Will Stay Alone
• Smart People Wear Glasses

The Ranger

• Drop-In Character

The Assassin Who Laughs

• Berserk Button: When people downvote spam his comments/threads, or make fun of him having autism (specifically Asperger’s Syndrome).
• Catchphrase: “I’m here, bitches!”, lifted directly from Batman: Assault on Arkham.
• Inspiration for the Work: His writing of fanfiction as a whole is inspired by The Legend Of Sonic: Twilight Princess by Dream Dragoness on FanFiction.
• My God, What Have I Done??: His reaction to seemingly have encouraged at least two other authors to throw various and somewhat vague characters into Rated Ponystar's Assassinverse.
• Playing with Syringes: How he views his stories and other creations.
• Crippling Overspecialization: Joker just, loves, loves, love writing himself some Displaced, particularly some Assassinverse Displaced. Unfortunately, he never really finishes them and his habit of using recycled assets has irked many readers, most notably his self-declared Arch-Enemy.
• Dartboardof Hate: Claims he has a dartboard with a printed image of his Arch-Enemy plastered on the front.
• The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: For a guy who's supposed to be the Clown Prince of The Sinestro Corps, you don't really see him telling ungodly bad jokes, talking about his most recent act of mass murder, or trying to instill fear in anyone.
• Nice Guy
• I Have Many Names: Frequently changes his username in a harebrained attempt to shake off his Arch-Enemy
• The Good Guys Always Win: How he feels about the permanent banning of his Arch-Enemy
• Heroism Won't Pay the Bills: Or rather, writing fanfiction and doing livestreams of his favorite games doesn't pay the bills, although he certainly wished it did, and he has mentioned considering starting a Patreon account to help make ends meet.
• Kingof Games: Greatly enjoys play various video games and has livestreamed/recorded videos of several, ranging from Prototype to the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, and his personal favorite, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. He's even discovered game that he enjoys on total accident and found he deeply enjoyed them, more specifically Saints Row IV and Gat Out Of Hell.
