* ActorShipping: Sort of. Some actors/characters are specifically chosen as face claims to satisfy a ship.
* AerithAndBob: To be expected with a cast of modern, ancient, and alien people.
* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Justified, most Celestials came to earth a long while ago.
* AllMythsAreTrue: From Snow White to Zeus to Santa Claus, it is a central theme of belief in a way.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: So many, though the fae come to mind as the biggest perpetrators.
* AscendedFanon: A couple examples that have gone down in the cbox. The very existence of the Stork, for one.
* BadassFamily: We like to consider ourselves one of these. In character, there's the Greeks, the Celestials, and the Brat Brigade....
* BigScrewedUpFamily: The Greeks for sure.
* BlackComedyCannibalism: One of the cbox pastimes.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: There are multiple variants of these on the board, male and female.
** A mixed gender case for puppy!Shuck rescue team, respectively Leora, Ninianne, Caer.
* BreakTheCutie: Happens oh so often to oh so many characters.
* CanadaEh: Carma. [[ExploitedTrope Gleefully flaunts it.]]
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: Many mythical characters good or bad. Things go bad if no one believes in their existence.
* CloudCuckoolander: Basically everyone on the forum, to some degree.
* CommonTongue: The Celestials had one in addition to their individual Constellation languages.
* CoolBigSis: On the forum, Asgard and Alivi could be seen as this. In-character, quite a few among the Gods and Celestials.
* CoolOldGuy: Arguably quite a few characters to the point where one questions what is "young".
* DeadpanSnarker: Spotteh, Carma, Shade, Katrina, Sam. Even Alivi and Chickadee get in on it sometimes.
* DisappearedDad: This has occurred to a couple characters; some of them are unaware they have children floating about. [[CharacterDevelopment We're working on that.]]
* DysfunctionalFamily: To call the Greeks this would be an understatement.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Pitch; he may be fine with murder under normal circumstances, but when you threaten children, his primary source of fear? [[BigNo No.]]
* FiveManBand: A couple of them.
** Celestials have a fairly fluid lineup and enough to fit multiple bands;
*** TheLeader: Paigen, Cas if he wasn't PutOnABus
*** TheLancer: Alhena or Nootau. Kate is shaping up to be this.

*** TheLeader: Alivi, natch.
*** TheLancer: Carma.
*** TheSmartGuy: Lady.
*** TheBigGuy: Most definitely [[BoisterousBruiser Kat]].
*** TokenEvilTeammate: This is shared by Aphe and Splendi. Arguably means we don't have a Chick, but a DarkChick.
* FreudianTrio: The first three Admin could be seen as this. Not exact, of course.
** [[TheSpock Alivi,]] [[TheMccoy Carma,]] and [[TheKirk Lady Archive.]]

Beginning as Guardians Arising in 2013, Rise of the Believers is a jcink hosted site based [[AdaptationExpansion loosely]] in the world of Rise of the Guardians. Set a decade after the war in 2012, [[BigBad the Nightmare King]] is back and ready to begin the war anew - only this time, [[BigBadEnsemble he's creating an army.]] The Guardians have started amassing allies of their own, and both sides fight a deadly war for the belief of human children. Humans, of course, are left relatively in the dark and unawares. Sporting a cast that hails from various worldwide folktales, stories and mythos, Rise of the Believers explores belief as a mechanic of power, the uglier aspects of [[WarIsHell war,]] and of course, love, friendship and camaraderie.

There are five major groups a character falls in.
* [[TheTeam The Guardians,]] who work for [[BigGood the Man in the Moon]] and aim to bring joy and light to children around the world, and protect them from harm and fear. For the most part, they require belief to be seen.
* [[RoguesGallery The Anti-Guardians,]] who work for [[BigBad Pitch Black]] and aim to bring about a world of darkness and fear. Some of them have [[IJustWantToBeLoved valid]] [[ReluctantMonster reasons,]] and despise that humans outcast them simply for existing, so it's [[BlackAndGreyMorality not easy to classify them all as villains.]] Most can't be seen by those who don't believe in them.
* [[TheAgeless Immortals,]] who are typically neutral on this whole war thing, but rely on belief to exist nonetheless.
* [[OurMonstersAreDifferent Creatures,]] who can range from [[ToServeMan kelpies and wendigos]] to [[CheerfulChild pleasant and friendly flowers.]] Typically they're out for their own gain, like Immortals, only their lives tend to be shorter.
* [[HumansAreAverage Mortals,]] who are, for the most part, just your average clueless humans. Some are CursedWithAwesome or otherwise have magical powers, and some are young enough to believe in magic, but the rest have no idea that there's a war going on around them.
