* {{Jerkass}}: Zurvduat is a thoroughly repugnant and meanspirited person and is outright abusive to Arne, devastating his self-esteem and giving him serious PTSD over the years. He constantly refutes Arne's attempts to form a father-son relation with him, and has outright beaten him in the past. Even to the Chozo and his fellow Alimbics Zurvduat is frequently rude and insulting.

* ChickMagnet: Arne has yet to meet a character of a similar age and of a compatible orientation who hasn't had their eyes linger on him.
* TheDreaded: Trace is feared to the point where the very idea that he might have interest in Arne's school for helping him to socialize with his own kind gives the usually confident Taellarja a great deal of fright.

* EnfanteTerrible: Trace, even at the age of thirteen, is regarded as a menace on a similar scale to Ridley. As one of the sons of the Kriken Emperor, he has access to as of yet uncertain resources and a tremendous degree of ambitious cruelty in his aspirations to reach the throne. For one thing, he already has an extensive list of war crimes committed by both himself and forces under his command.



* NoSell: Samus and Arne are virtually immune to most esoteric or weird effects of psionics or magic and other similar weird abilities; as per WordOfGod this includes stuff like reality-warping, attacks against their souls, durability bypassing abilities, mind control, or even attempts to teleport them against their will. This is an artifact of their tremendous but entirely latent PsychicPowers and magic potential.



* SexyDiscretionShot: A romantic encounter between Arne and Samus at the end of chapter 3 of Forlorn after their first day of getting to know each other quickly cuts out after their first kiss with the note that what happened between the two of them in Arne's temporary bedroom was only of concern to the pair. Likely due to the pair being twelve and Omega stating on the discord that while he thinks pretending adolescents don't have sex is unrealistic, actually depicting it is never necessary and always gross beyond an acknowledgement that it happened.

* PoweredArmor: Features extremely extensively, nearly all humanoid combatants make use of extremely sophisticated power suits to make nearly anything seen in Warhammer 40k and Halo to shame. Giving them the strength to shift absolutely massive amounts of weight, take enormous punishment, move at supersonic speeds, dodge already fired bullets and give them 24/7 access to communication networks. And yet these suits absolutely pale in comparison to even basic power suits wielded by Samus and Arne. Samus and Arne's power suits are treated with virtually mystical reverence and are not only hugely powerful, but able to assimilate nearly any upgrade, self-repair in moments, protect them from most hazards, enhance their physicality, scan nearly anything, and more.

* TheRemnant: The population of Alimbics that were in Stasis when their Empire was destroyed by Gorea are all that's left of their species. This essentially makes General Zurvduat the de-facto leader of their greatly diminished species.

* SuperStrength: Even without their armour, Samus and Arne are enormously strong, with their upper limits yet to be clearly defined. Notably, even as a toddler, Samus could easily shift boulders due to the universal genetic augmentations present in the 50,000s.

* HeadTurningBeauty: Even at a young age and with a decidedly tomboyish haircut and the toning and muscle definition of a super athlete, virtually every character of Samus' age notes that she's absolutely stunningly beautiful, with Ian and Arne both outright being at a loss for words for a few moments the first time they see her. Girls aren't immune either, with multiple female characters also feeling attracted to her almost immediately after seeing her.

* StateSec: The Galactic Federation's Central Intelligence Network has a Rapid Armed Intelligence Division (RAID) which is a top-secret black operations outfit that has its own army and navy and completely separate technological capabilities from the wider Federation. Their basic line infantry are Astartes esque super soldiers who stand nearly three meters tall and make use of automatic mini-missile launchers as their primary weapons and every indication is that they're no less brutal than the Space Pirates. WordOfGod from the Discord is that they also end up being the inventors of the Sylux suit based on Alimbic technology.

* GeniusBruiser: Samus and Arne are both smart enough to make Tony Stark blush. They not only designed their starships, but were also the ones who designed and assembled their power suits using Chozo and Alimbic technology respectively as a base; and Samus even created a new cryogenic subweapon so effective that the Chozo actually decided to copy it after seeing it. They can effortlessly do extremely complicated math in their heads, and show a tremendously broad array of knowledge and familiarity with STEM fields and many of the humanities.

''Saga'' is a ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}'' AlternateUniverseFic written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/6256920/Mental-Omega Mental Omega]]

The story follows Samus Aran and Arne Skjoldr (aka Sylux) in their quest for justice to the darkness of the universe.

* AdaptationNameChange: In canon, Sylux was implied to be the character's actual name. Here, his name is Arne Skjoldr.

* HalfHumanHybrid: Samus is regarded as a human/Chozo hybrid in data logs.
* HumbleHero: Samus is rather embarrassed by the accolades and fame she starts receiving for her heroic actions, and does what she can to avoid the spotlight.
* {{Nepotism}}: Averted with Adam. Despite his family's prolific military history, he made it a strong point to avoid any patronage networks and worked his way up away from where his family had influence, rising to the top on his achievements alone.
* OCStandIn: Because nothing is really known about Sylux in canon, Arne Skjoldr functions as this for the story.
* SuperReflexes: When Samus first gets her new genetic abilities, this is one of the most immediately noticeable powers she has, as she's able to perceive the world in slow motion and count the individual flaps of an insect's wings.
