History Roleplay / XanderQuestRebornOnTheHellmouth

* SummonMagic: A school of magic Alex is proficient in, used for both summoning and teleportation.[[labelnote: Summons so far]]A bunch of small monsters, including Keese, Ganondorf's reincarnated Shadow Stallion, a Deku Scrub salesman, a Celestial Goron and Celestial Postman, [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Servant Archer]], [[VideoGame/FateExtra Tammamo-no-mae]], and the spirit of one of the Nine-tailed kitsune's previous 'adoptions'.[[/labelnote]] This is particularly notable for being one of the fields that Alex breaks the rules in ''hardest'', because a great deal of his summonings should have been impossible without power like the Holy Grail backing it up.

* {{Miko}}: Kagome is shaping up to be a potent shrine maiden, thanks in part to Alex revealing some of the wider supernatural world to her.

* SummonMagic: A school of magic Alex is proficient in. Can be used for teleportation. Temporarily summons beings. So far: [[spoiler: small monsters and creatures, Ganondorf's reincarnated Shadow Stallion, a mighty Goron, and Nasu-verse's EMIYA.]]

* Altria, Medaka, and Kahlua all have their own SuperMode; Altria's is powering up the maximum that her Dragon-spirit can handle, while Kahlua's is removing all of the seals on her power.

** Ki abilities themselves were initially portrayed as much less common than what they would become later- Lu-sensei mentions that 'one or two' of the junior division would likely be capable of them or rough equivalents, and that the quarter finals of the adult division would be where they started to be expected. Compare this to the actual tournament, which not only had significantly more divisions (Under 10s, Under 14s, Under 18s, Adults, Masters) but had significantly more supernatural power floating around too, with all but a couple of the participants in the Under 10s final rounds having varying levels of significant supernatural power, and Alex having fought three people who either have or would later obtain (Ranma, Ichigo, and Kahlua) significant power of their own.

* MegaCrossover: As mentioned in the description, there are a ''lot'' of franchises involved in the Quest. ''Buffy''' and ''Zelda'' aside, there are as many as ''twenty'' major continuities rolled up into one timeline (Buffy included, LoZ not [[labelnote:List of known continuties]]Major: ''Buffy'', ''Fate/Stay Night'', ''Bleach'', ''Dragon Ball'', ''Mortal Kombat'', ''Rosario to Vampire'', ''Avatar the Last Airbender'', ''Inuyasha'', ''Medaka Box'', ''Castlevania'', ''Ninja Gaiden'' and probably more; timelines with more minor influences [[spoiler: such as the other reincarnations like Alex]] include ''Street Fighter'' and ''Sailor Moon'', but are speculated to include ''Metroid'', ''StarCraft'', and ''Dungeons and Dragons''[[/labelnote]]) and dozens more minor ones. ''Zelda'' would technically be a minor continuity had Alex not gotten a head start with Briar's presence, leading to multiple instances of cross-dimensional communication and the direct attention of the Golden Goddesses.

* TheArchmage: Merle Ambrose is as well known for his magical capability as he is for [[CloudCuckoolander his]] [[Troll personality]]. [[spoiler: Given that he's more-or-less explicitly stated to be {{Merlin}}, this makes a great deal of sense.]]
* ArtifactTitle: Alex goes by such, having not made friends with Willow and been nicknamed by her.

* AdaptionalBadass: Most distinctly, Cordelia Chase. While her canon self, later in life, proved remarkably capable at martial arts (To the point of having an anime-like growth curve, being able to pick up techniques by just watching them be performed) her Quest incarnation has been training in the [[SupernaturalMartialArts School of Five Elements]] since the age of ''six'', and makes her way to the World Tournament Under Tens division ''finals''.

* Ki abilities themselves were initially portrayed as much less common than what they would become later- Lu-sensei mentions that 'one or two' of the junior division would likely be capable of them or rough equivalents, and that the quarter finals of the adult division would be where they started to be expected. Compare this to the actual tournament, which not only had significantly more divisions (Under 10s, Under 14s, Under 18s, Adults, Masters) but had significantly more supernatural power floating around too, with all but a couple of the participants in the Under 10s final rounds having varying levels of significant supernatural power, and Alex having fought three people who either have or would later obtain (Ranma, Ichigo, and Kahlua) significant power of their own.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome/NoodleIncident: Gen the shopkeeper ''somehow'' was so important to a Great Fairy that he was given ''three'' doses of Great Fairy's Tears. It is explicitly noted that Link, Hero of Hyrule, is incredibly well-liked by fairy-kind in general- but even ''he'' is only ever given a single drop of the stuff at a time.

* UnfinishedBusiness: Originally, the ghost of the capitain in the memorian outpost doesn't seem to realize that he and his men are dead. Once the situation is explainded to him however, he is enraged at learning that demons and other monstrous creatures have made their home in his base and decides that before he and his men are put to rest they're going to exterminate all current hostiles within the walls of the outpost.

* AllMythsAreTrue:

** Reaching a point where there is no feasable method to continue: one such example was Alex, grappling with high-level Past Life Experience, being comitted to an asylum.

* [[FairyCompanion Fairy Companion]]: Alex has one. Her name is Briar. Smarter than your average fairy.
* {{Familiar}}: Briar the fairy is Alex's familiar. Ritual to make it more official pending.

* BadEnd: Possible, but so far unreached.

* [[DefeatMeansFriendship Defeat Means Friendship]]: Zig-Zagged in the world tournament arc. Some of Alex's opponents in the tournament become friends with him, but some of them do not. [[spoiler:*cough*sore loser Mohra demon assassins*cough*]]

* MegaCrossover: As mentioned in the description, there are a ''lot'' of franchises involved in the Quest. Buffy and Zelda aside, there are as many as ''twenty'' major continuities rolled up into one timeline (Buffy included, LoZ not [[labelnote:List of known continuties]][[/labelnote]]) and dozens more minor ones, not counting individual characters drawn in from other ones [[spoiler: such as Alex himself]].

* PowerUp: When Alex kills a suitably powerful beast, a heart container is left with their corpse, which Alex can use to power-up in several ways.

* [[RandomEncounters Random Encounters]]: Happens to Alex all the time. See [[spoiler:giant squid ambush, idiot giant-kin ambush, idiot ninja-kid ambush, idiot monkey ambush, idiot Hawaiian Sorcerer ambush, Diana Lawson surprise appearance, hellhound intruding on cleansing ritual, giant guardian statues animating, and evil cat surprise pounce.]]

* RetiredBadass: Lu-sensei. Now just a humble teacher of a relatively small dojo. Making the world a better place one Enlightenment at a time.

* MegaCrossover: As mentioned in the description, there are a ''lot'' of franchises involved in the Quest. Buffy and Zelda aside, the most notable ones are Rosario to Vampire (The subject of a rather lengthly arc and several of the most prominent characters), Bleach (Several more characters, plus a lot of hints at a future arc), and Mortal Kombat ([[spoiler:Because the cosmology behind the series has lead to the world breaking down, and a lot of other worlds being tangled up or having individual souls/objects get dragged in, hence Alex's (and a lot of other characters) presence]]). Fate/Stay Night appears to be heading to this level of prominence in the future, given Altria (Quite obviously a reincarnated King Arthur from the same series) and [[spoiler: Archer telling Alex that the Holy Grail War will happen again soon]].
** Less prominent franchises include [[Series/AvatarTheLastAirbender AtLA]] (relatively minor characters only), Ranma, Dragon Ball (Tournament opponents only), Castlevania (Background only) and Sailor Moon (Explicitly only a single character).

** Also his reaction to finding out that the Heaven's Feel actually exist in his universe as well as the fact that a magus decided to summon [[spoiler: Dracula]] of all things in his castle for the fourth iteration of the Grail War while [[spoiler: he wasn't fully dead but sealed which allowed him to escape his imprisonment and retain his full power. ]]

* [[MagicEnhancement Magic Enhancement]]: One of the schools of magic Alex is proficient in. Functions like Nasu-verse reinforcement. Is a factor in how effective Maximum Power makes Alex.

* SuperMode: Maximum Power is this. A combination of magic, ki (combined mental, physical, and spiritual energies), catalyzed by sparks of Divine Power. Forms a golden aura that increases all physical stats by Augmentation multiplied by Ki-Enhancement (currently 4.5x4.75=21.375% increase). Can only use 'Power' supernatural techniques in this state. Highly energy intensive. Alex is the only known user.

* KingOfAllCosmos: The Golden Goddesses are frequent targets for anniversary PoV Omake. They're [[CloudCuccoLander not entirely there]].

* {{Troll}}: A skill of Alex's. Overshadowed by Ambrose, whose life purpose seems to involve upsetting as many people as casually possible.

* EyeColourChange: Alex's eyes change from golden brown to shining gold when he activates aura-sight. Described as 'pretty' as well as 'distinctive'. Guess which descripment Alex prefers.

* [[FairyCompanion Fairy Companion]]: Alex has one. Her name is Briar.

* {{Main/Flight}}: There exist magical, spiritual, telekinetic and ki flight. So far Alex is only capable of the magical aspect of flight but may be possible to learn the other types.

* {{Hammerspace}}: Alex has one. Keeps his reagents, sword, and other things inside it. Uses something like 8% mana to maintain.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: While Ganondorf has the title "Great King of Evil",Ganon himself is an aversion; his name stands on its own. Enough so that when Alex, after 2 years of living with her, revealed to Briar that he is the Gerudo King's reincarnation she immediately panic's and quickly flies away, despite the fact she was the one that stated it didn't matter if his past life was evil.

* [[OurMagesAreDifferent Our Mages Are Different]]: Alex calls upon internal mana exclusively—unless he has the time and inclination to perform ritual magic. Other magic users make great use of energy in the environment because most have very small reserves of internal mana.
** Alex also uses Hyrulean magic style which is different from every other mage that is not from Hyrule.
* [[PastLifeMemories Past Life Memories]]: They appear in the form of dreams. They are considered a trait for Alex going 'Past Life Experience(PLE). The more Alex views the memories of Ganondorf the more skills, abilities and powers his past life once had he will be able to use. The more it increases the more Alex appearance will change to match the same physical traits of Ganondorf and Gerudo's in general. Judge Mental even mentioned that Alex would start hearing Ganondorf himself speaking to him in his head if it ever got too high. He also mentioned late in the quest that it is considered a Game Over mechanic in that if Alex ever reaches a full A rank in it Ganondorf will take control. Once SB players found out about this they have stopped trying to rely on Ganondorf's memories less whenever it could be avoided and have been trying to find ways to either mitigate it's negative effects or lower PLE rank. Thus far Navi had used some form of ritual spell which has reduced Alex PLE from C rank back to D rank. Improving his Spiritual Prowess and Favor with the goddess of wind, Farore offer Alex benefits in that the higher his rank is with both the more he can mitigate the negative aspects PLE.

* RichBitch: Cordelia has the resources and temperament to become this when she grows older, however— as Alex's minion— there's a fair chance Alex's influence will curb her more cruel tendencies.
* Main/StrongFamilyResemblance: Alex's appearance changes more into that of Ganondorf or a Gerudo in general the more influence Past Life Experience holds. Alex has noticeably developed faintly-darker skin, somewhat-reddish bown hair, and slightly-golden brown eyes. These traits are in regression, as Alex has recently greatly reduced the influence of PLE.

* SuperMode: Maximum Power is this. A combination of magic, ki (combined mental, physical, and spiritual energies), catalyzed by sparks of Divine Power. Forms a golden aura that increases all physical stats by Augmentation multiplied by Ki-Enhancement (currently 4.5x4.75=21.375% increase). Can only use 'Power' supernatural techniques in this state. Highly energy intensive. Alex is the only known user

* SuperMode: Maximum Power is this. A combination of magic, ki (combined mental, physical, and spiritual energies), catalyzed by sparks of Divine Power into a golden aura that increases all of Alex physical stats by ~2025%, at the cost of being unable to cast spells or use ki or spiritual techniques while this skill is in effect - although "Power" skills remain available. Not to mention this technique is heavily energy expensive as it currently drains 0.6% of Alex ki and 0.6% of his mana every 3 seconds of use. The more he trains with Maximum Power the longer he can keep using it, the more he develops his fine control for mana and ki the less energy he needs to spend, the more he develops his Ki Enhancement and Augmentation along with Maximum Power the larger the boost in power he will receive. Alex so far is the only one currently known to being able to use this special technique although he has seen similar ones being used..

* [[RandomEncounters Random Encounters]]: Happens to Alex all the time. See [[spoiler:giant squid ambush, idiot giant-kin ambush, idiot ninja-kid ambush, idiot monkey ambush, idiot Hawaiian Sorcerer ambush, Diana Lawson surprise appearance, hellhound intruding on cleansing ritual, and last but not least giant guardian statues attack.]]
