History Characters / AtopTheFourthWall

* DorkAge: An in-universe parody of it.

* {{Foil}}: To Lavidian Scarn, Linkara's first opponent. While Scarn took his loss poorly, to the point of threatening Linkara if the fight results weren't overturned, Heavy Wrex is humbler in his defeat, and despite his grievence with Linkara using a subsistute, declines going against the Temlin's decision over it.

* SmartPeopleBuildRobots: Is rather intelligent, and has a side hobby of buulding several robots of various types, and artificial intelligences to go with them. He directly [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this during a battle with [[spoiler: Lord Vyce,]] noting:

* TheDragon: Subverted. He [[InformedAttribute considers himself to be this]]...
** HarmlessVillain[=/=]TheLoad: ... But he's more like one of these.

* MoralEventHorizon: Is considered to have crossed it in-universe by [[spoiler:the girl who was turned into the magic gun]].

* TheStrategist: Was the one who planned the uprising against the [[strike: WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic]] [[FanNickname N. Bison]] during ''WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}''.

* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: During the Halloween storyline of 2021, in a gambit to make Billy Tor forfeit in the Contest of Champions by putting his spirit at ease, he became President of the United States of Billy Tor's universe. He's a case of President Personable, making a presidential address to address the covered-up prison massacre that gave rise to Billy Tor, promising to build a monument where the prison grounds once were, compensate all descendants of the deceased, and formally appologize on the behalf of the United States and the government of Colorado. However, he's also a minor case of President Buffoon, having accidentally leaked government secrets to one of his boyfriends who turned out to be a Russian asset, leading to his impeachment.
* {{Polyamory}}: In the resolution of the Halloween storyline of 2021, he admits to being pansexual and polyamorous.

* BadBoss: [[spoiler: When he returns in the movie having turned the crew of the Caelestis into his cyborg slaves, he doesn't hesitate to sacrifice their LifeForce to repower Malachite's Hand. The only thing keeping him from using all of them is that their life force wouldn't be enough.]]

* [[spoiler: BrainwashedAndCrazy: Becomes a loyal servant of the King of Worms for a short time.]]

'''Iron Liz''': "''[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments The air's not attacking us]].''"

** NotSoStoic: There are several times where she's clearly emotional, the first time is when she responds to Linkara's decision to finish reviewing a comic book despite the fact that the ship the two of them are on is about to explode, with a very [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments confused "Why?"]]. [[spoiler: The second time is when she asks Linkara "Are you afraid of me?" in a mix of angry/upset voice, like she wants to be feared]].

* BelatedBackstory: Originally appearing from nowhere in the show, his origin story is finally told in the 2012 Christmas episodes.

* BelatedBackstory: See the spoilers.

* BadassBeard: Possess a huge, bushy beard, and to accompany this, he is depicted as a competent, professional agent of the Secret Service who can hold his own in a fight if he has to.

* AntiVillain: [[Spoiler: He's not a malevolent force of his own free will. He's an ordinary hiker who's been possessed by vengeful spirits and made to kill until they've received justice.]]

* ImplacableMan: ''''Nothing'''' Linkara throws at him is able to do more than briefly slow him down. [[spoiler: The match only ends when Billy forfeits it because Linksano is able to broadcast a message that lays the wronged souls driving him to rest.]]

* CaptainErsatz: Design-wise he's pretty much an obvious reference to ''[[Characters/FridayThe13thJasonVoorhees Jason Voorhees]]'', being a masked SerialKiller wielding a machete that doesn't speak.
* EvilOldFolks: His age isn't stated, but behind his mask, he's got white hair and is mostly bald.
* GenreSavvy: One of the stipulations he makes in his fight against Linkara is to prohibit him from using any of the slasher villains that he has at his disposal, as crossovers between slasher villains tend to result in ones defeat.

* MalevolentMaskedMan: Wears a menacing metal mask that covers his entire face and sports a prominent bloodstain.
* SerialKiller: The only description the Temlins and Contest commentators have of Billy when discussing him. Linkara's research revealed his body count is in the hundreds and has been operating for years, with authorities unable to stop him.
* TheStoic: In addition to not speaking, Billy's body language is completely impassive and expressionless. Taken UpToEleven when he [[spoiler:wins a staring contest against Pilo. Who's a pile of rocks]].
* TheVoiceless: Never says a word aloud, instead telepathically conveying the terms of his contest.

* GenreSavvy: One of the stipulations he makes in his fight against Linkara is to prohibit him from using any of the slasher villains that he has at his disposal.

* SerialKiller: The only description the Temlins and Contest commentators have of Billy when discussing him.
* TheStoic: In addition to not speaking, Billy's body language is completely impassive and expressionless. Taken UpToEleven when he [[spoiler: wins a staring contest against Pilo. Who's a pile of rocks]].

* SharpDressedMan: Always wears a suit and tie.

The host of ''Late Night Double Feature'', Clive Sinclair reviews horror movies, operating out of Linkara's basement: specifically, Moarte's ''Longbox of the Damned'' set-up.

* CoolShades: Sports a pair of glasses with hinged, different colored shades.
* GenreBlind: For a guy who reviews horror movies, he's either utterly oblivious or oddly unconcerned about the fact that he's hijacked a terrifying ghoul's set to film his show out of; he even shrugs off Moarte's maniacal laughter in his first appearance.

* FutureLoser

** [[spoiler:And now for the King of Worms, it seems...until it was revealed to have just been an android made in his image. The real Linksano was trapped in the King of Worms' dimension, albeit [[MindControl under the King's control.]]]]

* ActionGirl: The first Champion that Linkara fights, though only for the preliminary round thus far, and she's revealed to be a rather powerful sorceress in her world.

* HiddenDepths: Linkara, after engaging in offscreen dialogue with Pilo, has stated that for a pile of rocks, he is very insightful, finally giving a hint to his personality.

* LethalJokeCharacter: Pilo is a pile of rocks that, somehow, has made it into the finals multiple times, getting second place in the previous Contest, and is considered the most likely player to win the 1049th Contest. [[spoiler: ...until his defeat by Billy Tor in a staring contest.]]

[[folder: Heavy Wrex]]
A champion and intergalactic pro-wrestler/construction foreman. He is Linkara's second opponent for the Contest of Champions.

* {{Face}}: Much more of a good guy wrestler, as his other shtick is that he's a construction foreman who builds charitable foundations and low-income housing.
* {{Foil}}: To Lavidian Scarn, Linkara's first opponent. While Scarn took his loss poorly, to the point of threatening Linkara if the fight results weren't overturned, Heavy Wrex is humbler in his defeat, and despite his grievence with Linkara using a subsistute, declines going against the Temlin's decision over it.
* GracefulLoser: Though he thinks Linkara's a coward for using a substitute in their fight, Wrex still takes his loss well, sincerely praises Bone Button as a WorthyOpponent, and even challenges Linkara to a friendly rematch when the Tournament is over, only this time a construction competition instead of a wrestling match.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Claims to have ''T. Rex'' blood in his genealogy. Whether it's part of his wrestler persona or an actual fact has yet to be elaborated on.
* LargeHam: Wouldn't be a pro-wrestler without being a ham, with his challenge to Linkara being in the vein of an old-school wrestling promo.
