History Characters / RivalsOfAetherWorkshop

* DropTheHammer: Uses one as his forward smash, forward air, side special (to bat the bombs away with), and his [[PracticalTaunt taunt]]. It is also featured on his victory art.

* HostileWeather: Her rainclouds rain down acid rain to steadily deal damage to foes below them.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: Teleports for his Up Special, swapping places with his star.

* AlternateRealityGame: Was the subject of one, that spanned over multiple creations, sites, videos and images, culminating in a puzzle that had to be solved via a stage. Completing the ARG resulted in her release. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ0_SuneaTQ Popular ROA YouTuber Zetta goes more in depth in their video.]]

* StatusInflictionAttack: Prior to her rework, she could inflict one of two status effects, which cause enemies to either heal Valkyrie on hit or take extra damage when hit by her axe attacks. Her new moveset only features the latter.
* {{Psychopomp}}: She guides the spirits of the Harbor Guard into the afterlife, as said on her steam workshop page.

* BladeOnAStick: Turns his rod into a sword for his down special.

* WhipItGood: Their forward and down strongs use one, and it knocks foes inwards.

Note that this page is for Original Characters on the workshop. Characters from games that are currently unreleased are fair game, however.

One of the first Original Characters released on the workshop. A boxing battler leopard, originally designed by Andy Ayala.

* BladeOnAStick: Turns his wand into a spear for his dash attack.
* ChargedAttack: Neutral Special is one, gaining more power depending on charge. However, the charge can be stored and used for any of his other specials, or his up strong.
* DropTheHammer: Uses one as the third hit of his jab, his forward air, and to bat his projectiles for side special.
* EasterEgg: Quickly tilting the stick up or down as he performs his side tilt (which normally has the everywand turn into a fist) will have it form the gestures for Paper or Scissors.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: While his wand does turn into traditional weapons like a spear or hammer, it also often forms a hand, an umbrella, and a dumbbell, among other things. He also uses a bowling ball in his uncharged side special.
* InstantFlightJustAddSpinning: His Up Special. He can even go higher if he has charge.

* RecoilBoost: The main gist of his Down Special, causing an explosion behind himself that propels him forward. While he himself deals some damage, the explosion deals the bulk of it.
* SigilSpam: His signature "B" appears often, on his bowling balls, as his projectiles, around the foe if they're hit by a fully charged neutral special...
* SwissArmyWeapon: His main weapon, the everywand, changes between various forms for different attacks.
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: If he has charge, his bowling ball is replaced with a much stronger bomb.
* TokenHuman: Justified due to not originating from the Rivals of Aether Universe.

!!Made by: The Slugger

A rioter from the timeline that Clairen left. Notable as one of the first complex characters on the workshop.

[[folder:Olympia, the Amethyst Fist]]

* AllThereInTheManual: Her lore is only available on her steam workshop page.

* ChainedByFashion: He has chainless manacles on his ankles and a metal collar around his neck, suggesting he might of escaped imprisonment at some point.

* AnAxeToGrind: Wields a large axe made of energy for her strongs and down air. In addition to dealing good damage and knockback, it can cause her status effects to take effect.

* WeaponOfChoice: A pool cue, which he uses in many ways for his attacks.

* TurtlePower: Targma's a turtle. However, unlike what is commonly associated with the trope, Targma is not elderly, and is not very nice.

[[folder: In General]]
* AscendedMeme: Several characters are based off [[MemeticMutation Memetic Mutations]]. Notable examples include [[WebAnimation/SomethingAbout Melee Fox]] and [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]].
* BattleIntro: Several have these programmed in, in contrast to the canonical cast that lacks them.

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Given it's individuals with varying art styles often creating sprites and art assets from scratch, some vary dramatically in over all aesthetic.
* OriginalFlavor: Some try their best to fit the tone, art style and aesthetic of the rest of the canonical game.

[[folder: Acid Rainbows]]

* ShockAndAwe: Shoots a powerful lightning bolt straight downwards with Down Special. Doing so will also make any active clouds shoot lightning in turn.[[/folder]]

[[folder: Ash]]

[[folder: Astra, The Nova Visionary]]

[[folder: Bird Guy, the OC]]

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: More like Nonstandard Vehicle Design. The car he appears in his entrance is a digitized picture of an actual car a la Franchise/MortalKombat as opposed to pixel art like the rest of the game. There's even an alternate version of the character where he spends the whole fight in the car.

[[folder: Bluey]]

[[folder: Epinel, the Inertial Breaker]]

* SleepyHead: Being a sloth, he'll fall asleep if you leave him idle for too long. [[spoiler: Attacking him while he's knocked out isn't the best idea.]]

[[folder: Hime, the Isolated Huntress]]

[[folder: Iroh, the Thunderous Howl]]

[[folder: Liz]]

[[folder: Mollo, the Kindling's Wrath]]

[[folder: Mycolich, the Unwilling Actolyte]]

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: In a WorldOfFunnyAnimals, this is a sentient mushroom with bones.

[[folder: Nade, the Flame of the Frontline]]

[[folder: Olympia, the Amethyst Fist]]

[[folder: Otto, the Billiard Biker]]

* FoeTossingCharge: His pre-rework forward and back airs are shoulder bashes, a la [[VideoGame/WarioLand Wario]].

[[folder: Pomme, the Superstar Songstress]]

* TheDiva: She's a famous singer with a sassy demeanor, which is apparent in her standard poses, her attacks and her taunts (see "Mic drop" below).
* Expy: Takes several cues from [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Peach]] in her moveset, including sharing her hover gimmick and having a similar down aerial.

* PowerFloats: Just like Peach in [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Smash]], she can float while in the air.

[[folder: R-00, Logical Jetstream]]

[[folder: Tamat]]

[[folder: Trummel and Alto]]

* SeldomSeenSpecies: A sloth. He even nods off if you let him.

** Sprite Star [[https://twitter.com/Sprite_Star0/status/1377726241667743756 also cites]] [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Makoto]], [[VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth Enkidu]] and [[Franchise/Tekken Leo]] as design influences.

* ComebackMechanic: PlayedWith. Bird Guy deals more damage if his percentage is ahead of the opponent's, while he deals less damage if he has more percent than the opponents.

* MovesetClone: Of Gourami's take on [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Archen]]. Justified, as Bird Guy was primarily made as an alternative to Archen that did not infringe on copyright. Updates have given some minor differences between the two, however.
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: More like Nonstandard Vehicle Design. The car he appears in his entrance is a digitized picture of an actual car a la Franchise/MortalKombat as opposed to pixel art like the rest of the game.

* DashAttack: Side Special is an anglable version, and also carries the enemy with Iroh.

* StatusEffect: Prior to her rework, she could inflict one of two status effects, which cause enemies to either heal Valkyrie on hit or take extra damage when hit by her axe attacks. Her new moveset only features the latter.
* {{PsychoPomp}}: She guides the spirits of the Harbor Guard into the afterlife, as said on her steam workshop page.

* AscendedMeme: Several characters are based off [[MemeticBadass Memetic Badasses]]. Notable examples include [[WebAnimation/SomethingAbout Melee Fox]] and [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]].
