* ArcVillain: Dealing with him directly is the focus of both the "Return of Harmony" and "What About Discord" arcs, with the arcs in-between still indirectly affected by his actions.
* IndyPloy: Pulls off a succession of these in the "What About Discord?" arc; he retreats upon realizing the players have powered up, and upon realizing the one hit he took has given him a time limit before complete re-petrification, utilizes the normal DM's lore notebooks and a potential loophole from Feeling Pinkie Keen (which was covered by the comic roughly eight years previously) in order to attempt to weaponize the Power of Friendship against the players.

* TheMunchkin: She doesn't fully realize that this practice is frowned upon when it's overdone, and when the GM confirms that the Sixth Element ''is'' Magic, she grins very smugly. After meeting Natalie, Luke and Cory, however, she realizes [[NotSoDifferent the similarities]] between Twilight and Trixie and has to be reassured afterward that she isn't '''THAT''' bad.

This is her player's first campaign. While she's familiar with the mechanics of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', putting them into practice -- and dealing with the social aspects of the game -- is new for her, and she's learning as she goes. During the ''School Raze'' arc, she plays Ocellus the Druid, wanting to combine a Changeling's Change Appearance and the Druid's Wild Shape.

Her player is one of the most experienced members of the group. Thoughtful and pragmatic, she's quick to pick up on nuances, subtleties and cues. During the ''School Raze'' arc, she plays Sandbar the Monk, as she considers herself "brave enough to be borin'" and add some stability to the otherwise non-pony "cultural exchange".

During the ''School Raze'' arc, she plays Gallus the Rogue/Bard, wanting to try something new and feeling like the one her friend rolled up was quickly overshadowed by her second "Cheese Sandwich" character.

Though she presents herself as a dressmaker and [[TheFashionista fashionista]], Rarity is actually an Evil (now Unaligned) Rogue -- or, put more accurately, a "social rogue". Far from your stereotypical thief, she's focused on the cutthroat world of high society, making her mark and passing herself off as a member of the elite. After Rarity gets blacklisted by Elusive, Rarity's player takes over Princess Luna until she can work out Rarity's character arc. During the ''School Raze'' arc, she plays Smolder the Sorceror, wanting to "expand her narrative horizons" and play with the expectations of a combat-oriented race.\\\

Rounding out the trio of experienced gamers, Rarity's player is primarily focused on the roleplaying aspects of the game. Because of this, she sees a lot of potential in the setting; while she's quick to point out flaws, it's more for the sake of improving the game by ironing those out.

Her player is a bit of a mystery. None of the others really know whether or not she's actually gamed before; if she ''has'', it wasn't with Applejack, Dash and Rarity's group. However, she's got a knack for improvising. During the ''School Raze'' arc, she plays Silverstream the Cleric, after her indecision between choosing a seapony and hippogriff has the GM decide that the two races being connected is an interesting duality.

As a sort of "palate cleanser" after the ''Return of Harmony'' arc, the GM decides to set up ''School Raze'' as a one-off, set in a mostly ambiguous future where different races have come together to learn the power of friendship. Contrasting the overly cruel nature and godly powers of the previous villain, the main antagonist is a conniving, short-sighted, intentionally riff-able child that plans to take said power, and all the world's magic, for herself.

* TheMentor: He was the pony DM's first DM, who taught him not just the game but how to DM. A lot of the DM's less popular tactics (such as blacklisting Rarity from the Thieves' Guild without discussing it with her player) can be traced back to Discord liking to surprise his players.
* MetaGuy: Weaponized. He attacks not just the ponies, but the players, exploiting their flaws and finding ways to trick them into roleplaying their own friendship fallout.
* RealityWarper: As AJ puts it, he has all the normal reality warping powers of a DM, without the limiter of having to make the changes logical.
* SadisticChoice: He gives one to Rainbow Dash, telling her that Cloudsdale is about to be destroyed, but if she flies off to save it she'll be quitting the game and screwing over her friends. [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl She stays with her friends]] (unlike in the show), and AJ's player actually drops out of character to [[WhatTheHellHero tear into her]] for doing it ''way'' too quickly.

Ya don't just blow it all up!\\

A friend of Dash's player that shows up for her birthday-slash-character-rebuilding-session (due to the online character builder moving up to 5th edition D&D and locking the 4e tools behind a paywall), and decides to join in. However, knowing Dash's player's preference for combat over diplomacy, having heard Dash's own accounts of "lame and boring" past sessions, and assuming she's just "putting up with" her current group, she tries to force the other players to re-evaluate their characters and take on more optimized builds. After an argument with Pinkie's player, she also quickly rolls up a secondary character to try and out-Bard her.
