History Characters / CodexEquusAutorists

* CoolPlane: One of the mainstay propellar aerofighters of the Griffon Autorist nations is the Skycondor, which in the [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/869178368/4961039977 Drabble]]/[[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Tales-of-Equestria-Stories-6-872587291 Tales]] they were depicted are shown to be very dangerous and effective when skillfully piloted. While not as durable as their counterparts, they made up for it with incredible speed and maneuverability via their light enchanted alloy frames, while packing enough firepower to wear down their most heavily armoured counterparts. To note, during the Talon Bais War, when the Terran Empire and the Autorist nations both sent expeditionary, volunteer and mercenary forces from their military to participate in the war supporting either sides and turning it into a ProxyWar, an engagement saw one almost giving a Terran Empire Thunderbird - a ''twin vortex engine'' multirole aerofighter - a run for its money, outflying it and even nearly shoot it down were it not for its heavy armour and daring maneuvers on the Terran pilot's part.

* CurbstompBattle: On the receiving end of one from a '[[HigherTechSpecies Visitor]]', when a group of Talonian soldiers were about to commit a massacre on a remote Pony town with [[MixedAncestry Sparkle Pony]] inhabitants. Also a case of PayEvilUntoEvil given the Visitor is a more heroic {{Expy}} of the [[{{Franchise/PREDATOR}} Yautja]], who picked off and ultimately killed every Griffon Autorist soldier in brutal fashions.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even fellow Griffon Autorist despots were horrified by many of her atrocities and refused to associate with her. Outside, other forces of villainy were similarly digusted by her evil.

* {{Expy}}: Of [WIP]

[[folder:Queen Gossamar, the Blood Hawk]]

* EatBabies: PlayedForHorror. One of the few things that made her so despicable include her willingness to indulge in practices which Griffons had done in the past but is now considered taboo, such as eating sapient Ponies. She had Pony ''foals'' served up to her as meals and glorified in it.

* FantasticRacism: Like many Autorists, she despises those who are not Griffons as inferior and even persecuted Griffons who fell below her and her regime's standards of being 'True Griffons', like the wingless Eastern Griffon kinds. She indulged in ethnic cleansing and other tyrannical cruelties of Ponies in her kingdom (up to and including ''[[EatBabies eating their children]]'')

!!!Pony Autorists
[[folder:Iron Wolves]]
First featured in the historical Commander Gale entry, there are two iterations of the Iron Wolves: the first one was the order/army that Commander Gale originally founded, and the second is a Pony Autorist movement that is growing in power in modern day Equestria and in Pony nations across Equus. Both groups shares a similar set of beliefs: Ponykind is the true MasterRace of Equus, but this position is threatened on all sides by a hostile world filled with hostile non-Pony races. In order to survive and reign, they must put aside all differences and meaningless ideals that are 'holding them back', and unite in strength and merit in order to fight the ForeverWar needed to fight for, rise towards and maintain their supremacy over the world and all other competitors.

* EvilerThanThou: On the receiving end of this trope courtesy of the [[TheEmpire Empire]] [[TheDreaded of]] [[{{Mordor}} Malrègnar]], who were [[UnderStatement not amused]] at their provocations and [[TheScourgeOfGod retaliated]] [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill overwhelmingly]] after catching them supporting raids into their empire and tributary states red-clawed. Malrègnar ultimately did things to Rotkrallea which [[HorrifyingTheHorror horrified even the Griffon Autorists]].

* AssholeVictim: A Doe of the Golden Antlers faction wasted her whole life persecuting those who she considered 'lesser' than Deerkind and made them bow and grovel before her and Deerkind's 'racial superiority'. Upon death, [[GodOfEvil Pokhot]], [[NobleDemon the Damsel of Desire]] would capture her soul and condemn her to an eternity of torment fitting for her crime: being subjected to BalefulPolymorph into all the 'lesser' races she had persecuted in life and made to grovel and serve her betters as she had done to others. The Doe [[VillainousBreakdown can't imagine]] [[FateWorseThanDeath suffering anything worse]] than this, [[AndIMustScream which would last forever]].

* RealityEnsues: His backstory, mentioned in his speech, is a demonstration of some of the negative consequences that would inevitably come from Equestria being attacked by non-Pony villains and menaces so often: a profound sense of disillusionment with the country's leaders and ideals, with a deep sense of xenophobia from constant threats, sense of superiority from having survived through all that, and belligerent militancy from a siege mentality as a bonus.

** After the DecapitationPresentation, the whole world could only stand and watch as the Empire of Malrègnar wiped Rotkrallea off the map due the former's overwhelming power.

* HoldTheLine: Almost miraculously, the Garudian Autorists managed to hold the Malrègnarians at the Golden Aeries, a network of fortresses, military schools and grand library which served as the kingdom's greatest defences, using the magical lore stored within to against the punitive campaign... [[HopeSpot for a while, at least]].
* HopeSpot: The Garudian Autorists had managed to hold the Malrègnarians at the Golden Aeries, for a moment showing the Malrègnarians could be defeated and they could avert the same fate as Rotkraellea... then Infernal Edict, the Sins' Mandate from Malrègnar stepped in and utterly ''crushed'' that hope.

** Even Rotkraellea's Griffon Autorist allies can't do much to stop Malrègnar from wiping the kingdom off the map. They did sent some reinforcements, but they were incapacitated by kingdom-spanning curses which were cast over the land as soon as they enter the borders and were intercepted by Malrègnarian forces ravaging the country. Despite some being allied with the Autorist kingdom, they became so terrified of being next on Malrègnar's hit-list none of them declared war against Malrègnar after they had all but completely ''obliterated'' Rotkraellea as a nation.

* AssholeVictim: Is an entire kingdom of [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Griffin Autorists]] who [[TooDumbToLive thought picking on one of the most powerful and dreaded empires in the world is a wise idea]].

* DecapitationPresentation: On the receiving end of this. Their crown prince, the mastermind of the Malrègnar Empire raids had his head presented to the [[FictionalUnitedNations Convocation of Creatures]] by Vicelord Heraut, along with documents showing his endorsement of raids against the Malrègnar Empire as proof.

* AssholeVictim: Is an entire kingdom of Griffin Autorists who [[TooDumbToLive thought picking on one of the most powerful and dreaded empires in the world is a wise idea]].
* BullyingADragon: Their ruling class sponsored raids on the borders of the ''[[{{Mordor}} Malrègnar Empire]]'' along with its various neighboring tributaries. Not surprisingly, the latter quickly found out about their sponsorship not long after and launched a [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/841979331/4850820724 punitive expedition]] which '''''destroyed''''' ''the kingdom in its entirety''.

* EvilVersusEvil: Rotkrallea's conflict with Malrègnar. On one hoof, we have an [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Autorist]] kingdom who are racists, warmongerers, imperialists and tyrants whose rulers and regime happened to be quite decadent and greedy as well. On the other hoof, we have an ascendant evil empire built and governed by a conquering EvilOverlord turned victorious GodOfEvil which had reigned and grown in power for thousands of years. In the end, Malrègnar proved to be both better (they are retaliating for raids the Rotkralleans had been conducting on their own tributary vassals) and far, ''far'' worse (said retaliation involve ''[[ScourgeOfGod annihilating the entire country]]'' and subjecting every single Griffon remotely supportive or related to the regime to slavery, death and eventually a FateWorseThanDeath) than the Rotkrallean Autorists are and could ever hope to be.

A Griffon Autorist kingdom which [[TooDumbToLive thought it was a good idea]] to [[BullyingTheDragon pick a fight]] with the [[TheEmpire Empire]] [[TheDreaded of]] [[{{Mordor}} Malrègnar]], and paid a horrible, ''horrible'' price for their avarice and arrogance. Its desolated ruins and traumatized survivors now stand as reminders that no matter how superior one thinks they are or how evil one is in thought and action, there is always something out there which is far, ''far'' worse, the trifling of which guarantees certain death, if not worse.

* TooDumbToLive: Garudia thought it was a good idea to try and retaliate against Malrègnar for destroying Rotkraellea, even when the other Griffon Autorists were too terrified to try it. It [[BullyingADragon
ends]] as [[AwakeningTheSleepingGiant well]] as [[CurbstompBattle it could be expected]].

* AssholeVictim: It bears to remember before you start pitying them for the number the Malrègnarians did that they're [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Autorists]], and by default a bunch of racist, warmongering, dictatorial and imperialistic Griffons.

* HorrifyingTheHorror: Like the rest of the Griffon Autorists, the Garudian Autorists eventually discovered how much more [[EvilerThanThou evil and powerful]] the Malrègnarians are compared to them. Quite a number was [[GoneMadFromTheRevelation apparently driven mad]] when they saw how one of Malrègnarian's Destiny-Binders read an 'Edict' of Infernal Edict, the Sins' Mandate and invoked Dark Magic which utterly destroyed the Golden Aeries - and with it [[DespairEventHorizon any hope of resisting]] the Malrègnarians - in a fiery cataclysm

* AssholeVictim: It bears to remember before you start pitying them for the number the Malrègnarians did that they're a bunch of Autorists.

Following the 'Devastation of Rotkrallea', Garudia was one of the few Griffon Autorist factions/nations who mustered enough resolve to [[TooDumbToLive try and retaliate]] against [[TheDreaded Malregnar]] over it, with [[BullyingADragon predictable]] [[AwakeningTheSleepingGiant results]] as Malrègnar launched a punitive campaign against them as well. Though they ''very'' briefly managed to put up a good fight, a spectacular display of Malrègnar's Dark Magical capabilities crushed any hope of resistance, and the kingdom fell like Rotkraellea.
