[[folder: The Savage Six]]
The current lineup is Hemming, Heretic, Atrocity, Pristine and Fire Burial. Mindfuck is killed shortly before the story starts and has not been replaced.

!!! General Tropes
* ArtifactTitle: Mindfuck has not yet been replaced, so there are five of them.
* FullFrontalAssault: Per WordOfGod they call themselves 'Savage' as in 'Naked Savage', although it's debatable how much it applies in the cases of Hemming and Heretic.
* TheNotableNumeral
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: They often cause this with their attacks, and possibly aim to do so.

!!! Hemming
* BornLucky: People think he has this as a power, but he's actually super-smart and makes it look like he has probability manipulation.
* FallenHero: When he defected, he persuaded Her(m)etic to come with him.
* ProudToBeAGeek: he uses his intelect to write the rules for the 6th edition of D&D.
* {{Shapeshifting}}: Able to take any organic or inorganic form within a range of one-tenth to fifty times his own mass.

!!! Heretic
* TheBlank: He has a red sphere for a head.
* BodyHorror: He's on record as the worst case of Chimaera syndrome to survive, being made of disconnected spheres and rods.
* DomainHolder: Whenever the Savage Six attack a city, he performs a ritual to pull the entire city into his personal dimension, where he sets the rules.
* FallenHero: Heretic used to be a hero called Hermetic.
* [[spoiler:FightingAShadow: the body people see is a construct, while he hides out in a private pocket dimension]]
* GoodWingsEvilWings: A set of golden rods in a wing-like pattern.
* MadScientist: He's a contriver who specialized in dimensional pockets.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
* VocalDissonance: Heretic has a very average voice. [[TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse This only makes him creepier]] .

!!! Atrocity
* {{Cyborg}}:
* MultiArmedAndDangerous
* {{Seers}}: She can see the future, bu some people such as Pristine, Ember and Desolation-in-Light can't be seen. Gloom Glimmer flickers to her perception.

!!! Mindfuck
Recently deceased. A telepathic pedophile, known for raping young children to death and broadcasting it into the minds of an entire city. Father of Fire Burial.
* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: His certainly is.
* MindRape: He mind-rapes ''entire cities'', hence the name.
* [[spoiler:NotQuiteDead: the Six rigged him up in a device so he can still use his powers'.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: has the appearance of a boy between 12 and 16.
* PosthumousCharacter: Thankfully.
* RapeAsBackstory: He himself was raped as a child, by his father. It's not clear if [[RapeLeadsToInsanity this caused his manifestation]], but it's likely.
* SeeingThroughAnothersEyes: Routinely forces entire cities to see him rape children to death. The experience can be traumatic enough to cause manifestation in victims.
* {{Telepathy}}: The strongest in the setting.

!!! Pristine
* AndIMustScream: Her power perfectly protects her from the outside world, going so far as to filter all sensory input for dangerous levels. She couldn't even speak until she learned to vibrate the 'shell' her power creates. It's on permanently, and she cannot die.
* DeathSeeker
* FlyingBrick
* FullFrontalAssault: She's been manipulated by Hemming into not caring about nakedness.
* {{Immortality}}
* NighInvulnerability
* NoSell: her powers protect her from all harm and powers. She can not be seen by any precog.
* SenseLossSadness


!!! Fire Burial
* DaddysLittleVillain: Daughter of Mindfuck. Subverted in that their relationships is more of an owner/pet one: she's addicted to his power (or was, before he died).
* ElementalShapeshifter: she can turn into fire, clothes not included.
* FieryRedhead
* FullFrontalAssault: She doesn't wear clothes, because she can only turn herself to fire, and they would burn off anyway before she left them behind.
* ImAHumanitarian: she likes to roast people with her powers and then eat them.
* InnateNightVision: She can track heat signatures.
* PlayingWithFire: Fire Burial's power. Her fire 'sticks' to things and slowly burns them. She can imbue her fire with explosive force, resulting in StuffBlowingUp. She can even turn into fire to avoid being hurt or travel (although she can't take her clothes with her), but can't manipulate any other fire while she does so.
* PsychoLesbian: Violently so; she'll [[GroinAttack burn off the genitals]] of any male who propositions her.
* PsychoactivePowers: Her powers grow stronger when she gets angry.
* KillItWithWater: Her power shuts off completely if she's drenched in water. Macian and Henry even avoid her tracking them by jumping into a cold river and swimming upstream. Macian explains that although it makes no sense by the laws of physics, powers aren't always logical and tend to be subject to themes and ideas instead. She avoids WeaksauceWeakness by staying in an ally's pocket-universe where it never rains.
* KlingonPromotion: She killed her mother Slowburn for full membership in the Six.

[[folder: An Ember of Hope]]
Tropes related to characters introduced in the ''An Ember of Hope'' arc.
!!! General Tropes
* WholeEpisodeFlashback
* OriginsEpisode
* DishingOutDirt: Dunstkreis manipulates dirt and dust into spheres which orbit him, order and sizes roughly corresponding to the planets in the Solar System.

!!! Macian
* ChildProdigy
* {{Cyborg}}: Macian made himself several implants after half his body was severely burnt, to the point of completely replacing his left arm and eye.
* DeflectorShields: He can make these, much to Henry's surprise.
* GadgeteerGenius
* TheNameless: When introduced, Macian has no name, not even a codename. He never needed one. When Henry insists on one, he picks the codename Macian, [[MeaningfulName which means 'Maker']].

!!! Henry Appleton/Ember/Protege
* ChildProdigy: Ember was a world-renowned child artist before his manifestation, to the point where he was tested for superpowers.
* BackFromTheDead: He can do this to others.
* TheEmpath: After he manifests, he can see the 'worlds' of every metahuman, and every living human. If they're close enough, he can distinguish their emotions.
* MentalWorld: Ember sees superpowers like this.
* MessianicArchetype: What he is in the eyes of the world.
* OriginsEpisode: ''An Ember of Hope'' handles this for Ember.
* PsychicRadar: Ember has a degree of this mixed with TheEmpath, able to sense people in his range and potentially identify them through their superpower or their emotions.

!!! Aap Oordra/Kevin Paterson
Retired soldier and supervillain. Suspected of being the son of the Dark.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Aap Oordra can manifest a monkeyskin that enhances his body.
* MiseryBuildsCharacter: From what we know of his youth, he was a pretty reckless, irresponsible person. While he isn't a saint nowadays, he explicitly mentions that the traumatic experiences of the war have smoothed a lot of his rougher edges.
* StepfordSmiler: He has to take everything casually or he suffers PowerIncontinence.
* SuperSpeed: One of the few people to posses actual super speed. Instead of messing with physics he really increases his speed and has the senses to cope with it. This grants him incredible destructive power.
* SuperVillain
* TranquilFury: When he hears someone is threatening his daughter, he calmly plans to tear the guy to shreds.

!!! Chayot/Hennessy
Daughter of Aap Oordra.
* AdaptiveAbility: She's a power-shifter.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: From what we see of a small flashback, she apparently didn't have any friends due to being poor. While we don't see her around her teammates a lot, the fact that she has a terrifying power and can barely communicate properly, probably isn't doing her any favors in the friends department.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She is usually very nice and amiable, but she is terrifying when angry, and it should be noted that she wanted her father to kill her childhood torturer until [[HiddenDepths Dearheart]], ironically, convinced her otherwise.
* BiblicalMotifs
* BlessedWithSuck: She has great power, but cannot understand language. She must communicate in emotions.
** It also puts her in a near-comatose state of anywhere from hours to days if she uses it too much.
* CainAndAbel: Her archnemesis is her (unknown) half-sister.
* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: More like he had a reason for never coming home. He was a prisoner of war for almost her entire life and didn't even know she existed until he met her for the second time.
* TheEmpath
* GenerationXerox: Like her father, she struggles with her powers controlling her emotions, is usually amiable yet extremely dangerous, suffered TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening, and has a very damaged relationship with her father while having great love for her mother.
* SchoolgirlLesbians
* TheVoiceless: She can speak, but only very rarely and in very limited ways.

!!! The Matriarch/Eloise Luviere
The ''other'' daughter of Aap Oordra, raised by the EvilMatriarch known fittingly as The Matriarch.
* DaddysGirl: Eloise very much wanted her father in her life, and unlike Hennessy, she has no problem accepting him when he shows up.
* GuardianEntity: A sentient shadow that protects her and can keep secrets from her.
* LegacyCharacter: Daughter of the first Matriarch.
* LivingShadow
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Downplayed: She is considered the most beautiful lady in Illinois (only challenged by her half-sister) but not the world.

!!! Queen Madeleine
* BackFromTheDead: She manifested her powers ''after'' she died.
* LandDownUnder: She conquered the entire continent in two months.
* MonstrousHumanoid: She has a Chimaera physique.
* OminousFloatingCastle: Her palace hovers above Ayer's Rock.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: She possesses ''seven'' God-tier powers.

[[folder: Desolation-in-Light]]
The first child of Lady Light and the Dark.
* AdaptiveAbility: In addition to several permanent abilities, she's able to change powersets at will, generally manifesting an offensive ability, a defensive ability and one for utility.
* TheAloner: When Ember looks at her "world" he sees that she has no connections to anyone.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Averted ''hardcore.'' She's been described as exceptionally beautiful, but she's a force of pure, unending destruction.
* ChestBurster: By WordOfGod, Desolation-in-Light [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe bisected Lady Light]] when she manifested in the womb. Lady Light survived, barely.
* FetusTerrible: She manifested while still in the womb. She proceeded to teleport away, age herself up, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick destroy Los Angeles]].
* LightIsNotGood: She's the child of Lady Light and the Dark. The 'Desolation' part is key here: an insufficient response (or just plain bad luck) will result in her destroying a city or worse. The 'Light' part comes from her ever-active [[SphereOfPower Desolation Field]].

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands
* NighInvulnerability: One of her permanent powers is this.
* NoSell: Her permanent defensive power is described thus: ''A close up of her, taken by what had to be a Gadgeteer-made long-range camera, showed that all the attacks simply stopped about an inch from her skin, as if reality itself was simply saying 'No'.'' Oddly, she still dedicates part of her AdaptiveAbility to defensive aspects.
* OmnicidalManiac
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Her attacks, if not handled properly, generally result in the complete destruction of a city at a minimum.
* PrehensileHair: She has this - and doesn't wear anything else. One of her permanent abilities also coats it (and her fingernails) in a devouring light that destroys anything (other than her) it touches.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair is roughly ten times her height. And she's two meters tall.
* UnskilledButStrong: That she does not use her powers intelligently is her only weakness, and she tends to react to any interference with her current power set by completely changing it. Her powers grow stronger the longer she has them, so getting her to change powers frequently reduces the damage she deals. It's a pity one of her permanent powers is [[NoSell invulnerability]].
