Okay so it turns out Onion is not related to the Frymans. This... might lead up to a lot more cleaning up beyond this. Like CSU itself I think. Or even my ffn profile page. Shoot.


* TheComicallySerious: [[spoiler:She gets shot by Rip in the first round, and makes no reaction to it. Contrast Rip herself, who is very cheerful at the development.]]

[[folder:Onion]]



* {{BFG}}: He uses a ''cannon'' against Seras.

to:

* {{BFG}}: He uses a ''cannon'' ''paint cannon'' against Seras.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Again, he probably uses one of the largest paint-weapons out of anybody becides Hellsing themselves.

So for this sheet I\'m doing something a little bit different. Kind of like the ending for CSU itself.

Added DiffLines:

Character sheet for ''FanFic/CarlStevensUniverse'', covering the tropes that apply to this story's incarnations of the ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}''/''Hecksing Ulumate Crconikals'' crew and the ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' cast.

[[foldercontrol]]

!! Hellsing

Tropes either exclusive to ''Hecksing'' or present in both stories will go to Characters.HecksingUlumateCrconikals, as these are kind of but not really one-and-the-same with their HUC counterparts.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: As a whole, teal. Individually, Carl, Seras, and Rip have green, yellow, and azure respectively, with nothing assigned to the Captain as of yet.[[note]]His yellow text in ''Sweet Jade and Hella John'' does not count, as that was only for his role as the "9" member of the Millennium.[[/note]]
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: They're fast learners and generally not the group you would want to screw with. Even the ''Pikmin'' are really good fighters in spite of looking like carrots with limbs and eyes.
* WingedHumanoid: The three vampires sprout wings near the end of the story to fly away from Steven. This would make Carl's jetpack earlier useless, if it wasn't for the fact that Carl basically runs on RuleOfCool.

[[folder:Carl]]

!! Carl Stevens

* AlienBlood: Averted. He is confirmed in this story (and HUC by WordOfGod) to have red blood.
* TheDitz: He's implied to be an idiot. In fact, one of the reasons why Steven thinks it's best if the other members of Hellsing were eliminated first was because he thought Carl was the only one who would follow any plan set up for him; the others would have caught on and bailed him out.
* [[spoiler:FinalBoss: Essentially. Invoked though; Steven wanted the other three members of Hellsing eliminated ''before'' Carl so that Steven's specific plan would be less likely to be interrupted by them.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He may be shown to be a life saver after an intro of annoying his own girlfriend with his music, however he still plays loud enough to annoy an entire city, seems to not care about property, loves overkilling his enemies in the paintball games, steals and ruins a book from a girl, and [[spoiler:almost ''kills'' Amethyst.]]
* {{Jetpack}}: Weilds this for practically no reason. The "no reason" coming from his ability to ''fly''.
* KarmaHoudini: After all of the crap he pulls, the worst that happens to him is that he's [[spoiler:forced to move back to London. Or at least out of Beach City.]]
* ManChild: Even compared to Rip. Because of this, he sticks out of Hellsing like a sore thumb.
* OfficialCouple: With both Seras ''and'' Rip. No, nobody mentions how absurd that is.
* [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni]]: To Steven's blue.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Although at the very least he ''did'' have a big name in Mars and London, but his fame died down in the latter and the former isn't really elaborated on.
* [[spoiler:VillainousBreakdown: While he isn't exactly a villain by ''traditional'' means, he still undergoes a huge breakdown after Steven gets him eliminated, and it takes Rip to calm him down.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Seras]]

!! Seras Victoria

* ButtMonkey: Of all of Hellsing, she's subjected to the most conflict, is the most affected by Carl's loud music, and [[spoiler:gets the most brutal beatdown in the third match]]. Her proper introduction to the Gems is her clinging on the motorcycle they ride to the city in complete and utter fear, whereas Rip gets off gracefully and Carl just sort of falls off.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: In-universe, her poor attempt at replicating [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario's]] voice.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Rip]]

!! Rip Van Winkle

* TheDragon: According to Carl, she serves this role to him. Oddly, [[spoiler:she's eliminated before Seras in the third match, who has been implied to be Carl's "sloppy second."]]
* FreakOut: Her reaction to seeing [[spoiler:a replica of Alucard, that at the time seemed real. She quickly snaps out of it upon realizing that it was a fake.]]
* MoralityPet: To Carl, if her calming him down after [[spoiler:he loses the game]] is any indication.
* MotorMouth: She seems to have trouble shutting up, especially when bragging about the Captain.
* ScaryShinyGlasses: In the second match.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Captain]]

!! Hans "The Captain" Gunshe

* AscendedExtra: In HUC, he was just a VillainOfTheWeek who had to ''share'' that role with Walter. And Walter himself got more screentime than he did, both in that particular chapter where they go in action and the fic in general. Here, however, starting from the first match he becomes a semi-regular character.
* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile: Non-fatal example: When he's eliminated in the paintball games.]]
* GuestStarPartyMember: To Hellsing. While he acts as the fourth player to them, he gets much less screentime, isn't introduced until the first match, is de-summoned back into Rip offscreen after the third, and [[spoiler:is eliminated much earlier and quicker than the rest of Hellsing.]] He doesn't even appear in the final scene, while Seras and Rip ''do''.
* HiddenDepths: He's apparantly a ''really'' good sport, if his reactions to [[spoiler:being eliminated in the first and third games are any indication. He ''smiles'' at Amethyst while she bombards him with paint.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Pikmin Soldiers]]

!! The Pikmin

* ZergRush: What Carl does with them. It's capable of taking out an [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast "Eternity Wraith"]] with almost no effort on the Martian's part.
-->'''Carl:''' As you can see here, with strategic thinking and the power of numbers, the Pikmin are reducing this ghost reaper thing to nothin' but smoke and air.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Alucard]]

!! Alucard Badguy

* AllThereInTheManual: His last name being "Badguy" isn't explicitly stated in-story, aside from Pearl remarking that Rip treats it as such. Which makes reading HUC some form of getting knowledge ahead for what Pearl's plan to take out Rip is.
* [[spoiler:BackFromTheDead: Subverted. During the third round, it looked like he came back to try to kill Rip, but it turns out that that was just a puppet made by Pearl in order to help her eliminate Rip.]]
* DemotedToExtra: Considering the fact that he spends 100% of the story ''dead''... [[spoiler:no wait, he appears with no explanation and-- no, he's definitely dead and that was a fake.]]
* DoomedByCanon: In addition to most of the other ''Hecksing'' protagonists; read this before HUC, and you'll know in advance who's going to be in the final roster.
* {{Foil}}: While not as big of an extent as the other Hellsing members, in this world he becomes this to Rose Quartz, as they are both dead [[TheAce aces.]] Unlike Rose, however, he gets a nod in the story and even gets an "appearance" in the form of [[spoiler:Pearl's puppet... thing,]] so that is why he gets an entry on the character sheet.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: The fact that he dies in HUC is made no secret whatsoever. Same with Integra's death. And the other "heroes" who died, for that matter, but Master Chief/Kamina and Zorin dying isn't that big of a deal.
* PosthumousCharacter: He's been dead for about two years and ten months.
* TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat: [[spoiler:Pearl got somebody to immitate his voice. Everything the puppet said with those recordings seemed like it was from an ordinary conversation, but as it turns out the message was completely pre-recorded.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Hooo boooy... there's his death in HUC, which is more of a LateArrivalSpoiler, and then there's [[spoiler:the dummy Pearl made of him -- both the dummy's existance and the fact that it's a fake are spoilers, the former implying that he came back to life when taken out of context and the latter both revealing the fact that it was a ploy and spoiling one of the four plans to take Hellsing out.]]
* TheWorfEffect: Ignoring how his own death back in HUC qualified as this, he himself puts Rip to sudden ''fear'' when [[spoiler:she sees the imitation of him.]]

[[/folder]]

!! Crystal Gems

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: As a whole, fucshia/tyrian-pink.

[[folder:Steven]]

!! Steven Universe

* BewareTheSillyOnes: If you outline it, his plan to eliminate Carl seems very far-fetched. [[spoiler:And yet it works.]]
* [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni]]: Compared to Carl. Yes, compared to Carl, ''Steven'' is the blue one. Interestingly, the associated colors for their respective groups is almost swapped.
* [[spoiler:TheChessmaster: His plan to eliminate Carl might not have as much resource as the other Gems, but it's definitely the most complicated, precise, and in some cases luck-based or BatmanGambit-y. And it works. All seemingly based on ''two traits'' he got from Carl. Lampshaded when he laments that none of the other Gems will believe that it worked (they were not present; all of them having been eliminated by this point. Pearl never got on the train in the first place, Garnet left a while ago, and Amethyst was shot off of the tracks and into the city.)]]
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Entirely in-universe as the moment was shown. He doubts the Gems will believe that [[spoiler:he managed to get Carl eliminated and won the game for his family.]] The fact that the cars of the train he was in at the time was mostly ''empty'' due to [[spoiler:Amethyst having called almost everyone to the football stadium]] makes it worse.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivers this to Carl after the end of the third match, with Connie adding a few things as well.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Amethyst]]

!! Amethyst

* BrutalHonesty: She doesn't think Hellsing lives up to their talk at first, and barely hides it. Later on [[spoiler:she considers giving up the game -- and again, doesn't particularly mask her lack of care for getting blown up by paint.]]
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:What she does to Seras in the third round is rather brutal. After flashing blinding lights in her twice, she holds herself up in a skybox at a football stadium which basically forces Seras to run after her while avoiding the paint from almost everyone in town. Then after entering a hallway, Seras is ambushed by the Fryman family. After surviving ''that'', she makes it to where Amethyst is at only to get a surprise gundown from Greg, allowing Amethyst herself to add to the fire for the hell of it. Considering how obnoxious Carl was earlier in the story, this ''would'' have been a good thing... if it was Carl (or even Rip) being subject to this and not Seras, the nicest member of Hellsing.]]
* [[spoiler:DisneyVillainDeath: While not a villain and (possibly) not a death, she does indeed fall a great height after being beaten in the third game.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: And a rather manipulative one, too. She essentially ''forces'' Steven to strike up a conversation with Connie by basically getting the assistance of everyone in town except her or [[spoiler:Hank Hill (the latter of whom Steven also gets aid from).]]
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Compared to Garnet and Pearl. Her plan gets ''way'' more screetime than said pair and she gets a few more lines in the story. The fact that she's tagged in the character list basically confirms this (alongside Steven, "OC" (Carl), and oddly Rip).
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: As a consequence of the fic having no real epilogue, [[spoiler:it's left ambiguous as to how or even '''''if''''' she survives falling into Downtown Beach City.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Pearl]]

!! Pearl

* ButtMonkey: A RunningGag in the third round is that she's essentially forced to do things outside of her confort zone in order to progress on the Gem's plans. Like driving a car through a train station, entering the window first. Or [[spoiler:[[NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead cutting off the head of]] [[AvertedTrope the Alucard dummy so that she could get the microphone stored inside.]]]]
* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: Holds this opinion in regards to Alucard. And if her reaction to [[spoiler:the dummy]] is any indication, Rip shares this belief, at least when it comes to Alucard.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Garnet]]

!! Garnet

* TheComicallySerious: [[spoiler:She gets shot by Rip in the first round, and makes no reaction to it. Contrast Rip herself, who is very cheerful at the development.]]
** [[spoiler:Averted in the third round, where Carl combards her with paint offscreen. She falls over on her knees and then on her face, either pretending that the shots are fatal wounds or that Carl's guns were ''that'' over powered (seeing as one sent Amethyst on an arial tour of Downtown Beach City, the latter isn't too far-fetched). She gets up seconds later and jumps off.]]
* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler:Gets eliminated rather brutally and suddenly by Carl, literally when Steven and Amethyst are not looking.]]

[[/folder]]

!! Other

[[folder:[[spoiler:The Hills]]]]

!! [[spoiler:Hank Hill]]

* [[spoiler:TheAce: Mostly from experience, but in the context of this story he knows ''pretty damn well'' how to deal with similar loud, rude people in paintball.]]
* TheCameo: [[spoiler:After the Gems lose the second round and Steven goes off trying to find strategies.]]
* [[spoiler:DeusExMachina: Two thirds of his appaearances are this. In the first, he offers Steven advice that he ''couldn't'' find after circling Beach City ''several times''. By the second, he's ultimately the driving force that leads to Carl's elimination; without him hiding behind a newspaper, there was a slight risk Steven's plan wouldn't work.]]
* FauxSymbolism: [[invoked]]His intro is gone in a way to give him an angelic look, with the sun's light appearing right behind him.
* MythologyGag: [[spoiler:It's implied, specifically in the author's notes, that the only reason why he's in Beach City involves Rip.]]
* StealthInsult: [[spoiler:Comparing Steven to Bobby might be this, depending on how you factor in ''King of the Hill''[='=]s GrandFinale.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: The fact that he appears at all is a spoiler, as his cameo is supposed to be a surprise.

!! [[spoiler:Peggy Hill]]

* [[spoiler:LoonyFan: Hank implies that she is this to the Crystal Gems.]]
* [[spoiler:SmallNameBigEgo: Lampshaded by Carl's thoughts when talking to her.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: As with [[spoiler:Hank.]]

!! [[spoiler:Bobby Hill]]

* AbsenteeActor[=/=]TheGhost: Never fully appears in the span of the story, though [[spoiler:Hank]] implies that he and [[spoiler:Peggy]] are around ''somewhere'' close.
* [[spoiler:LoonyFan: See the entry on Peggy.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: As with [[spoiler:Hank and Peggy.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Greg]]

!! Greg Universe

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Lars]]

!! Lars

* EveryoneHasStandards: He's actually willing to ''help'' Steven and slightly work with him to take down Hellsing in the paintball games.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Sadie]]

!! Sadie

* EarlyBirdCameo: Would-be example. She, Connie, and Peedee would have appeared in Zorin's illusion before actually entering the story in person, in a what-if part.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fryman Family]]

!! Fryman

* TheGhost: Does not show up at any point in the story.

!! Peedee

* EarlyBirdCameo: Would-be example. He, Connie, and Sadie would have appeared in Zorin's illusion before actually entering the story in person, in a what-if part.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:Delivers one to Seras before she ''asks him'' to eliminate her, thinking that she was fighting a losing battle at this point.]]

!! Ronaldo

* ContinuityNod: His blog, specifically the theory that the moon landing was to get rid of vampires, is aknowledged here.

!! Onion

* {{BFG}}: He uses a ''cannon'' against Seras.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Dewey]]

!! Mayor Bill Dewey

* TheGhost: Never makes an actual appearance in the story.
* MayorPain: Carl basically ''bribed'' him and every other person with power into not doing anything about his music in exchange for soft, sound-proof bedrooms and other luxuries.
* WeirdnessCensor: He apparantly doesn't give a crap about Hellsing's presence.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Connie]]

!! Connie

* TheCameo: She appears briefly in chapter 13 in ''Housestuck Hurrcain Crconikals'' but isn't refered to by name. She's buying the exact same book that would [[spoiler:later lead to Carl's downfall, two years and ten months in-universe later]] and gets into a short fight with [[TookALevelInDumbass Por]][[InvertedTrope rim]] over it. Would be an EarlyBirdCameo if not for the fact that ''Carl Stevens Universe'' came out before season four of HHC.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu [[spoiler:After contributing to Carl's elimination, she proceeds to tell off Carl as if he was her son. She counts as this more than Steven's tell-off, since Carl is a powerful ParodySue vampire with two years of expericence and Steven is a half-gem warrior, while Connie is an ordinary human being.]]
** DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu In chapter 13 of ''Housestuck Hurrcain Crconikals'', she whacks Porrim on the face with a book [[VanHelsingHateCrimes after finding out that she was a vampire.]] (To be fair, Porrim ''was'' a little aggressive with her.) ''Porrim''. The same incarnation of the same girl who can turn into a "scary eye form" heavily implied to be much like a jade-colored PaletteSwap of '''''Alucard'''''. However, this is only listed as a sub bullet as, like anything that happened in HUC and HHC that wasn't elaborated on in CSU, details as to whether or not she beat Porrim in the more sane story such as this are ambiguous.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Would-be example. She, Peedee, and Sadie would have appeared in Zorin's illusion before actually entering the story in person, in a what-if part.
* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]: Opts against joining most of the town in [[spoiler:getting Seras at the football stadium]] even though Amethyst wasn't going to ask her to. She also holds the biggest reaction of Carl and Steven's... [[VillanousBreakdown scene]] at the ending.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivers this to Carl after the end of the third match, with Steven adding a few things as well.
* ShipTeasing: WordOfGod says it's more for shits and giggles than anything, but the hints with Steven when she appears are ''incredibly'' obvious:
** Before the meeting is [[spoiler:Hank, who compares Steven to Bobby. Both of them had love interests named Connie.]]
** The way they rant at Carl as though he was their son.
** Both Amethyst and Carl calling her his girlfriend. He reacts to the former by assuring that she isn't actually his girlfriend, but doesn't correct the latter.
** Another one before she actually appears: When Steven, Amethst, Garnet, and Carl take off on top of the train, Pearl ([[spoiler:who had been eliminated by this point]]) seems to want to have been with him so she can make plans for when he gets to her. [[spoiler:She actually had a shot at that, should she have gone on the train ''after'' the one the other Gems and Carl got on.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:"Carrie"]]

!! Carrie-like Girl

* CloudCuckoolander: Seems to fit the bill, what with being implied to dress as a ''Homestuck'' character (Dave) for no obvious reason, and yelling at people about windows.
* EmoTeen: Her appearance is stated as this outright.
* MythologyGag: Warning people about windows since ''Gumball Vs Satan''. And the fact that her outfit, from the description, seems similar to a Knight of Time from ''Homestuck''.
* NoNameGiven: Her actual name is not given, not within the story or even in author's notes.
