* OnlyInFlorida: A news anchor bemoans that obviously Miami's new superhero would be a half-reptilian crossdresser.

* OnlyInFlorida: A news anchor bemoans that obviously Miami's new superhero would be a half-reptilian crossdresser. Mention is also made of a chef working at a gator-themed diner trying to Break into Arkham to abduct Killer Croc and a man dreaming Superman was afraid of green rocks so he covered himself with pictures of the stuff before fistfighting the Man of Steel.

* EveryoneHasStandards: A news anchor hell-bent on criticizing Gwyndolin makes very clear he's not hating on the cape for being a crossdresser, his lifestyle choices are his own.



* GenreSavvy: David's fanboying over superheroes means he slots Gwyndolin in the "nice" category for being obviously weird but not bothering people, and pointing the Medusa gang as his nemeses because of the snake imagery.

He apparently takes after his grandpa who puts the kibosh on Gwyndolin's civilian persona being called "Glen Godfrey" -- you cannot use an AlliterativeName when you're a superhero, it's basically telling everyone your secret identity and then what's the point?

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Par the course with Gwyndolin -- the cartels call him "bitch" and "puta", news anchors describe him as "gender-inderminate", and he's so used to clarify he's not a woman when introducing himself that he's left floored when Chang'e actually identifies him as male without his help.

* KleptomaniacHero: Justified by Gwyndolin's lack of paperwork foiling his attempts to gain lawful employment, so he only needs the slightest push from David that "it's fine when the bad guys are robbed because they're bad" to start stealing the cartels' drug money after beating their minions into the ground.


Added DiffLines:

** Chang'e and Jacy admit Gwyndolin isn't the first deity to stumble on Earth from another world, and are more interested in properly welcoming their new neighbour than freaking over his extradimensional origin.

Plot happens.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Gwyndolin first tried to find work through legal channels -- only to stumble on his lack of documentation as a major obstacle. He's reduced to rob the cartels in order to gain some money since he cannot obtain it legally.



* VicariouslyAmbitious: Sargon is quite open to Gwyndolin taking his grandson David under his wing because his magic lineage is snubbed in the greater community for being too lacking in power and traditions of their own, something that might change with a god taking an interest in them.

GenreSavvy: David's fanboying over superheroes means he slots Gwyndolin in the "nice" category for being obviously weird but not bothering people, and pointing the Medusa gang as his nemeses because of the snake imagery.
* GiverOfLameNames
GiverOfLameNames: Gwyndolin's opinion of the DC humans -- he derides the superhero sobriquets as AtrociousAlias and is thoroughly baffled by the Bluetooth function since a phone isn't blue or tooth-shaped.
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly
GodsNeedPrayerBadly: The amount of Divine Energy available to a deity relies on how worshipped they are, among several other factors. Since Gwyndolin is a foreigner from another world entirely and has barely started his superhero career, he only gets a bowlfull of the stuff.
* TheMole
TheMole: Director Bones from the DEO decides to make nice with up and coming superheroes as the Big Three have announced their intention to create a Justice League and he really wants someone in the inside to keep an eye over all these superpowered wild cards.
* RaisedByGrandparents
RaisedByGrandparents: It's heavily implied that David's father used to be his grandfather's previous apprentice who perished in a training accident.
* SeenItAll
SeenItAll: The old magician Sargon doesn't bat an eyelash in front of his grandson bringing home a seven-feet-tall crossdressing god from another dimension because after dealing with a gender-fluid sentient street that morning, he kinda lost his ability to get surprised.

* TrappedInAnotherWorld
TrappedInAnotherWorld: Gwyndolin has no idea of how he woke up in the DC universe and no idea about how he would come back to the Dark Souls one. Not that he wants to.

to:

* AllForNothing
AllForNothing: Gwyndolin struggles with feelings of inadequacy and mild gender dysphoria after being RaisedAsTheOppositeGender, but nonetheless believes his father had no other choice since he was born under the Moon's influence. Then he meets the lunar deities from Earth, and one of them is the fully masculine Tsukuyomi. Cue meltdown as Gwyndolin is forced to realize he could have been treated as a boy and he still would have been alright.
* BadassAndChildDuo
BadassAndChildDuo: David is quite eager to emulate Batman and Robin's Dynamic Duo by becoming Gwyndolin's helper in fighting crime. The deity and his grandpa are less enthusiastic about the matter and insist for him to stay on console duty.
* BigBrotherBully
BigBrotherBully: Downplayed with Gwyn's firstborn who derided Gwyndolin's "womanliness" but nonetheless wasn't alright with his younger sibling being forced to perform as a daughter and clashed with their father several times about that.
* ClosestThingWeGot
ClosestThingWeGot: A fandom isn't the same as true worshippers, but it still allows Gwyndolin to access Divine Energy as his superhero persona gains the admiration of Miami civilians.
* DirtyCop
DirtyCop: As Gwyndolin suggests David might want to call the police to deal with the gang war in the neighbourhood instead of pleading a superhero for help, the boy fires back that Miami's cops are all in the gangs' pocket. An agent of the DEO muses cleaning house might be a good idea to enter Slither's good graces.
* DrugsAreBad
DrugsAreBad: Entering the cape scene has Gwyndolin clashing with the cartels using Miami to traffick coke. Not only they don't care about collateral damage when civilians are around, they have no qualms hurling sexist curses at their opponent.
* DudeLooksLikeALady
DudeLooksLikeALady: Par the course with Gwyndolin -- the cartels call him "bitch" and "puta", news anchors describe him as "gender-inderminate", and he's so used to clarify he's not a woman when introducing himself that he's left floored when Chang'e actually identifies him as male without his help.
* FishOutOfWaterFishOutOfWater: Gwyndolin marvels at how wealthy America is but cannot help being confused by Superman refusing to lay claim to godhood in spite of his awe-worthy abilities.

Added DiffLines:

''Dark Sun Resurgent'' is a crossover fanfiction between ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' and Franchise/TheDCU, written by Fizzicks.

After being released from Aldrich's torment by a MercyKill at the Ashen One's hands, Gwyndolin inexplicably wakes up in another world not decaying, one in which he has no duties or responsabilities.

Gwyndolin decides to respect his new world's customs. Apparently, it means becoming a superhero.
