* {{Adorkable}}: After stunning Lobo for Harry to finish off, he actually blushes and says he always wanted to fight alongside [[spoiler: a Jedi - Harry's disguised as Obi-Wan at this point, ItMakesSenseInContext]].



* SuperStrength: As per usual, though he keeps a pretty close control on it--Sunniva affectionately notes that he makes an effort not to squash her hand when they shake, though if anything, even without the Phoenix [[PhysicalGod she]] has more to worry about in that department than he does.

* AmbiguousGender: Possibly. InUniverse. Whether at the time or in retrospect, she was referred to as Sir Bedivere.Bedivere when she was in Camelot, though it seems that no one at the time doubted her gender.



* DudeMagnet: She shagged over a third of the Round Table, and that seems to be pretty normal by her standards. [[ChickMagnet And it isn't just the guys, either.]]



* EthicalSlut: As demonstrated in her life as Phryne Fisher, she ReallyGetsAround, but she also seems to genuinely care for her exes. Despite shagging over a third of the Round Table, Merlin, and Morgana, she implies that her connection with Arthur (who was married) was strictly platonic, and refers sympathetically to Lancelot's unrequited love for Gwen.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: As her life as Julie D'Aubigny demonstrated. Morgana's among them, apparently - she's smoking hot and she knows it.



* ReallyGetsAround: [[spoiler: Buri]], who knows her better than most, wryly remarks that he reckons her main ambition in life is to shag her way through time and space, adding that if someone's attractive, interesting, and interested, she'll go for them. He then offhandedly mentions that if Harry was a few years older and unattached, he'd be just her type. Cue furious blushing.

** In the next chapter, she cheerfully lists off some of [[{{Series/Merlin2008}} the Knights of the Round Table and associates]] that she slept with. The list includes Merlin, Morgana (before she went mad), Lancelot (who was very sweet, but hung up on Guinevere, "poor thing"), Gwaine, and Percival. According to her, the total was a little over a third - and she implies that at the very least, she modelled nude for Leonardo da Vinci, and happily confirms that she's shagged most of history's all-stars. As she quips to Hal, if you want to get good at something, "practice, practice, and practice some more." Hal is largely lost for words, still adjusting to the casual reveal that King Arthur is real, then eventually resolves to stick with what he knows and fist-bump her.

[[folder: Johnny Storm]]

!!Jonathan 'Johnny' Storm

Current favourite at the Grandmaster's court, he appears to be a pretty, vapid, and pretty vapid eternal teenager, an influencer style celebrity and sycophant. However, as becomes quickly apparent, appearances deceive - after all, hes lasted this long, hasn't he?
----
[[hardline]]

* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Unlike almost every canon version of him, Johnny's powers are not fire-related, but light related - much like his sister's, in fact. However, the Grandmaster implies that there's still some similarity, stating that he's a "matter-energy shifter", implying he can become living light.
* CompositeCharacter: Of his 616 and Ultimate selves, being a teenager (more like the latter) and having amber eyes.
* DistressedDude: He's an eternal teenager forced to effectively be the Court Jester for a capricious and easily bored EldritchAbomination, one that sometimes turns him into an art installation of living light that mixes past and present and makes his souls scream. That's pretty damned distressed.
* FateWorseThanDeath: He's either required to be constantly amusing for a cosmic scale narcissist and RealityWarper who's known to kill ''billions'' in his tantrums, or he's a living art installation, the fabric of his energy form warped into a sculpture where his very soul is screaming.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: As Harry very quickly realises, Johnny's very good at giving the Grandmaster what he wants, and extremely quick on the uptake.
* RoyalFavourite: Subverted. Superficially, this is his dynamic with the Grandmaster, leading Harry to suspect the historical sexual associations - and to make it quite clear that if this ''is'' the case, he'll repeat his trick of making "an Elder God scream". As it is, that isn't the case, but the truth is arguably worse - he's more like a court jester, entertaining the Grandmaster to survive, or spending time as an abstract installation of living art which makes his soul scream.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Given that he's survived the equivalent of fifteen years in the Grandmaster's immediate proximity, when the Grandmaster has the attention span and impulse control of a toddler, it's pretty safe to say that he's not the brainless youth he pretends to be.
* TheWatson: He serves as a dark variant of this to the Grandmaster, being the one that the Grandmaster likes to explain things to/talk at in order to hear blind assurance that his ideas are great.
* TookALevelInBadass: Powers aside, the brief glimpses of him in Book I and the mentions depicted him as a fairly ordinary and impulsive teenager with zero brain to mouth filter. Despite the fact that he's not physically aged (mentally is more complicated), fifteen years on Sakaar in the DeadlyDecadentCourt of the Grandmaster has made him an excellent actor who knows just how far he can push the Grandmaster's amusement, can quickly pick up on a situation and manipulate it at least somewhat in his favour, and endure some pretty horrible fates.

For fans who are perusing Trope pages like this, a term like "Greater God" would be confusing or hard to remember given how long the fanfics are unless given some easy to understand context. In this sense, elaborating "Greater God" by relating it to Thor and Loki in terms of power levels helps easily illustrate what "Greater God" means to readers who don't have an eidetic memory.


* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: While her base form is that of a peak level human, when empowered by her nanobots, she can enhance herself to an unknown but significant degree, sufficient at least to keep up with Greater Gods. All the sword skill in the world means naught without the power to back it up, and her victorious fight in the last Frost Giant War against a Greater God level being like Byleistr (whose magical powers were compared to Loki's), would not have been remotely possible without enough enhancement to keep up.

* InTheBlood: It's noted by [[spoiler: Emma herself]] that his talents for scheming, charming, and manipulating, using one's looks to best effect and disguising true intelligence come straight from her.

* LongLived: It's very heavily implied that time travel aside, she's lived far longer than any human should have been able to, with Harry stating after watching her fight that humans simply ''don't live long enough'' to get as good as she is. [[spoiler: Buri]] later tacitly confirms this, implying that they're at least in similar age categories - and he's somewhere between four and eleven thousand years old.

And Harry states that even as good as those two have become, she's ''still'' better than they were. Separately, she was stated to be the best of Arthur's court.

* AdaptationNameChange: Sue and Reed's son is canonically named ''Franklin'', but this iteration of him has been called ''Francis'' instead. WordOfGod insists there's a reason behind this choice.

* TwentiesBobHaircut: Has one in line with her general 20s aesthetic. As she notes, while it was far from without flaws, she ''did'' like the styles of that particular decade.



* RavenHairIvorySkin: Her implied baseline form, with a black bob haircut and alabaster pale skin, qualifies, since she's got a limited degree of VoluntaryShapeshifting - though Harry implies that it could be far more than just 'limited' if she ever felt like it. She's described as dropdead gorgeous.

!!Hal !!Harold 'Hal' Jordan a.k.a. Green Lantern III



* AuraVision: After his gauntlet gets recharged, he finds himself developing this, much to his bemusement - one that covers [[ComicBook/GreenLantern the Emotional Spectrum.]]



* CoolCar: Drives a black flying sports car. Harry approvingly considers this a sign that Hal is a man of taste.



* IronWoobie: He's spent the equivalent of fifteen years in an insane reality where nothing makes sense, no one ages, no one is born, and the only way out is by dying - also, time doesn't exist unless you walk into a puddle of it - fighting crime and corruption with a cobbled together weapon he barely understands because it's the right thing to do. It attracts Julie's respect and sympathy.

[[folder: The Thing]]

!!Benjamin 'Ben' Grimm a.k.a. the Thing

After exposure to energy implied to be from the Negative Zone during the Battle of London, along with the rest of the proto Fantastic Four, he became the ever lovin' blue-eyed Thing, and ended up as a gladiator in the Contest of Champions on Sakaar. The idol o' billions, he's become reconciled to his rocky form, but he'd much rather be at home.
----
[[hardline]]

* EarlyBirdCameo: He makes a brief appearance in human form, keeping an eye on Johnny at the Battle of London, and then is glimpsed in vision fighting the Silver Surfer on Sakaar in ''Ghosts''.
* NiceGuy: He's friendly and welcoming to Sunniva from the start and has an excellent relationship with a group of his fellow gladiators.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: The Future Foundation]]

!!The Future Foundation

Based in Kadesh base in Earth-Town on Sakaar, the Future Foundation is a bunch of scientists who are rather more than they seem. It's where the denizens of Sakaar take the Ultimate Problems for the Ultimate Solutions. And they're working on ''the'' Ultimate Problem: getting off Sakaar...

!!Doctor Adam Brashear

A brilliant scientist who vanished in the 1970s after experimenting with knowledge from the Mar-Vell Files, he wound up on Sakaar. Despite spending the equivalent of eighty years there, he has yet to Fade or to lose hope. He is also the one responsible for rigging up Hal Jordan's Green Lantern Gauntlet.
----
[[hardline]]

* AdaptationalWimp: Possibly. It's implied that he has something like his canon senses, given that he can study people without scientific apparatus, however, there's no sign whatsoever of his vast SupermanSubstitute FlyingBrick power-set.
* BlackAndNerdy: He's black and he's off the charts brilliant, figuring out how to - among other things - figure out a time system for a realm without time, and to jury-rig a working Lantern substitute out of five rings and a battery and Hal Jordan's HeroicWillpower.
* LongLived: Since he was middle-aged before he ended up on Sakaar, he's at least 130.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Like everyone on Sakaar, he's much older than he appears. Of course, they technically don't age...

!!Doctor Susan Storm

Another brilliant scientist (specifically a Quantum Physicist), an acquaintance of Harry's, and last seen dating Lex Luthor, she worked on Jane Foster's project to force HYDRA out of hiding at the end of ''Child of the Storm'', leading to the Battle of London. Along with Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, and her little brother, Johnny Storm, she was exposed to bizarre radiation, and vanished shortly after. At the start of ''The Phoenix and the Serpent'', she reappears on Sakaar, around fifteen years of relative time later, with superpowers, a husband, and a secret she's trying very hard to keep...
----
[[hardline]]

* BadassBookworm: She keeps her nerve at the Battle of London, she fought off her father at thirteen when he tried to murder her little brother, and like the rest of the Future Foundation, she's scheming against the Grandmaster to save as many people on Sakaar as possible.
* BigSisterInstinct: She fought off a grown man, her father, to protect her baby brother as a teenager, and she's very protective of him.
* TheBusCameBack: Last seen near the end of ''Child of the Storm'', reappears during ''The Phoenix and the Serpent'', published in April 2023, approximately ''seven years later''. Her last shared scene with Harry had been back in chapter 39 of ''Child of the Storm'', in fact, about ''nine'' years earlier. As the author said with some satisfaction, everything, and everyone, comes back eventually.
* HotScientist: Like her canon counterpart, she's both a scientific genius and stunningly attractive, to the point where Harry inwardly admits in ''The Phoenix and the Serpent'' that yes being hugged by her is very pleasant for a number of reasons that he really doesn't want to discuss.
* MamaBear: Towards her little brother, who she's guardian of. [[spoiler: Also towards her son, naturally, the only natural born child on Sakaar]].
* MysticalPregnancy: [[spoiler: Her child is literally impossible]].
* NiceGirl: She's a warm and kind person, as she demonstrates in all her appearances, and remembers Harry instantly despite not having seen him from - from her point of view - fifteen or so years. When he pops up on Sakaar, her first reaction is delight, to hug him, and then horror as she realises that he's trapped there with them (or so she thinks).
* OhCrap: When she realises that Harry's presence means that he's trapped too (or so she thinks) and when she realises that Harry [[spoiler:has sensed the presence of her son in his little dimensional hiding spot]].
* OlderThanTheyLook: Thanks to her time on Sakaar, she looks in her early to mid 20s, when she's actually closer to 40.

!!Doctor Reed Richards a.k.a. [[spoiler: Doctor Fate]]

One of ''the'' geniuses, Reed is a legendarily intelligent man with an occasionally absent-minded demeanour that makes him seem distant and uncaring when he is anything but. Largely a background figure in his appearances and the least mentioned of the Fantastic Four, that is changing on his reappearance, partly thanks to his possession of [[spoiler: the Helm of Nabu]]...
----
[[hardline]]

* AbsentMindedProfessor: A textbook example, with said absent-mindedness disguising how much he cares, something Hal notes via his AuraVision to his surprise.
* TheAce: One of the smartest people on the planet, and a fair player for one of the smartest in the trans-temporal/universal nightmare that is Sakaar, backed up by [[spoiler: the magical knowledge of a former Sorcerer Supreme]].
* AmplifierArtifact: [[spoiler: The Helm of Nabu gives him magical perception, if not full-fledged magical powers]].
* BadassBookworm: Like his wife, he held his nerve at the Battle of London, he's plotting against the Grandmaster, he has his canon powers, and [[spoiler: the considerable powers granted by the Helm of Nabu]].
* {{Irony}}: While his canon counterpart often has problems accepting something as magic, and his ultimate counterpart even had trouble with the more 'magical' laws of nature of the former's reality, this one has no problem studying magical phenomena [[spoiler: with the Helm of Nabu]]. Of course, given who's tutoring him, that might not be a good thing.

!!Francis Benjamin Storm-Richards

A SpoilerCharacter of the highest order, he's the son of Sue Storm and Reed Richards, and the first and only natural born child on Sakaar. Thanks to his impossible birth and the fact that, somehow, he ages, he's a subject of great interest from those precious few who know about him... and a secret that is kept very, very close to the chest.
----
[[hardline]]

* CheerfulChild: He's about six and isn't remotely afraid of Harry, despite likely having stranger danger drilled into him from birth and the latter plucking him out of a pocket dimension, instead being absolutely ''fascinated'' by him.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He's blonde, like his mother and uncle, and so far as we can see, he's a total sweetie.
* OurPhlebotinumChild: He is a quite literally impossible. Given that Sakaar's timeless nature prevents little things like ageing, no one has a clue how the hell he was conceived, much less how he continues to grow at an apparently normal rate.

* BadassNormal: Apparently had no powers, besides a possibly extended lifespan. Still went toe to toe with Frost Giants, and trained two Asgardians into the greatest swordsman and swordswoman of their age. This is later explained by the fact that in her baseline state, she has no powers, but she does have a lot of very sophisticated nanobots in her body that she can mentally activate to enhance her and transmute more or less any materials around her or on her person - however, [[HoldingBackThePhlebotinum she couldn't use them except in conflicts like the Frost Giant War]] when the tech level would blend in (and even then, she states she was holding back).
* BadassTeacher: According to Thor, she's the single greatest swordswoman he's ever seen, and as seen under BeenThereShapedHistory, she's trained many of history and mythology's biggest badasses.
