History Characters / RuneScapeGods

* AnythingThatMoves: She does this to the emissary of the Godless during the Cabbage Face Punch Bonanza, [[InterspeciesRomance a human]]. He is disturbed by this and is unsure if she is being serious or not.

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Although he does have a white beard and hair, when seen in person, we find that he also has blue skin and GlowingEyes. He isn't completely sure why his skin is blue, but it is apparently a side effect of his ascension. He speculates that it is related to the fact that ascension amplifies one's nature, and his nature is one of a righteous fury that needs to be carefully kept in check by a cool demeanor.

* PetTheDog: To Bandos ''any'' victory in battle is a commendable event, even if it is against him -- and as such he actually congratulates the player for defeating him in "The Chosen Commander" -- and battlefield honor is the highest virtue.

* BigBadSlippage: [[spoiler:The Elder God Wars questline is this for her. She initially leads the council seeking to appease the Elder Gods, refusing the idea of taking action against them and wanting to protect the Elder God eggs when they're located. From there she slowly starts to view the eggs as her family and wants to protect them at all costs, finally turning on the World Guardian and setting Iaia up to be destroyed, making her the FinalBoss rather than Jas.]]

* FatalFlaw: Overconfidence. Upon declaring war on Gielinor following the events of the Elder God Wars, he is convinced that nothing can stand in the way of his conquest, including the World Guardian, to the point that he doesn't appoint a successor to lead his forces. The World Guardian's eventual confrontation with him and his banishment after the Edicts of Guthix are re-established drove a wedge between K'ril and Bilrach's factions, as they are now in-fighting over who should succeed the god of chaos.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Originally written by Jagex as a LaughablyEvil GodOfEvil, in more recent quests and lore Zamorak is now framed as NotEvilJustMisunderstood to the point of being an AntiVillain.

** When voiced in the Zamorakian Undercity Elite Dungeon, his voice loses the echo.

** When voiced in the Zamorakian Undercity Elite Dungeon, his voice changes somewhat to be more of a standard EvilSoundsDeep when speaking calmly. His Legion voice returns when he yells, albeit without the echo. This is likely due to a change in voice actors, though his Undercity voice actor has yet to be credited.

* VoiceOfTheLegion: When voiced, he uses a low, growling, raspy manner of speech with an otherworldly echo that adds to his intimidating presence.

** Zamorak constantly preaches that chaos and conflict should not be avoided, but actively used as a way to improve oneself by rising to the challenge. Yet when he becomes said challenge and the World Guardian not only rises to meet him, but [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu banishes him]]'' from Gielinor, he does ''[[SoreLoser not]]'' take it well. To put it in perspective, even [[PsychopathicManchild Bandos]] took his own defeat with more grace.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: "The Death Of Chivalry" has Saradomin mention there are some acts that even Zamorak wouldn't engage in. Zamorak preaches using chaos as a means of [[PragmaticVillainy personal advancement]] or [[TricksterMentor strengthening people through adversity]]. [[ForTheEvulz Hurting people just for the sake of hurting them]] is against his teachings and he disavows Lensig for this reason.

* ApocalypseHow: There was a peaceful swamp world named Yu'biusk. Then he found it. The result? Yu'biusk suffered plane-wide devastation, [[KillEmAll killing everything]], and now all the Yu'biusk races live on other planes.

* HaveYouSeenMyGod: [[spoiler:Following the events of "[[Recap/RunescapeAftermath Aftermath]]", the Edicts of Guthix are re-established and all the major gods (and Nex) are banished once more.]]

* InsaneTrollLogic: A lot of Brassica Prime's beliefs are filled with this. He was unafraid of getting hit by the Dragonkin's fireballs because in his mind [[ElementalRockPaperScissors cabbage beats fire]] since getting hit with fire would result in cooked cabbage, and that would make him more powerful because "Deliciousness is power." He also claims to have power over anything that is even vaguely cabbage shaped, such as the stone of Jas (which actually has a running gag of being called a cabbage) and the planet and sun. He also automatically assumes that anybody not wearing a shirt is homeless and can't be convinced otherwise.

* CelibateHero: Since becoming a god, he has become so devoted to the cause of heroism to the point of having trouble even conceiving of the idea of settling down and getting married. He isn't completely sure why, but it is implied to be a side effect of divinity amplifying one's basic nature.

* EmptyShell: [[spoiler:She is nothing more than an empty husk after she is {{mercy kill}}ed by her "daughter" Seren.]]

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Seren reluctantly puts her out of her misery, and she is now nothing more than an empty husk.]]

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:As of "Extinction", she is last known to have been battle-locked with a shadow leviathan which emerged from Erebus and dragged her into the realm with it. Whether or not she survives the encounter afterwards is unclear.]]

* TheCorruption: [[spoiler:Subverted. Wen was long implied to be the cause of the icy crystals that infested Mah's core, but Azzanadra's Quest revealed that it wasn't her, but ''Xau-Tak'' who caused the corruption.]]

* RevisitingTheRoots: As he shapes up to be the true FinalBoss of the Elder God Wars quest series, Zamorak eagerly seizes the opportunity to make what he hopes will be short work of the scattered remnants of the other young gods' armies after the events of Extinction. While he doesn't completely revert to his LaughablyEvil older self during this story arc (except for a couple of instances before Extinction where he [[TheGadfly taunts other gods for his enjoyment]]), he revisits the part of his personality that seeks chaos and change for the sake of it more than as a means of personal growth. This compulsive need for chaos was amplified upon ascending to godhood, and now, he can't stop it. And he ''loves it''.

* YourAnswerToEverything: Chaos. More specifically, his philosophy revolves around driving people out of their comfort zones and making them adapt to and grow from unfamiliar situations.
