5[[folder:Dalek Sec]]
6-->''"[[ExactWords I AM AN IM-PE-RIAL-IS-TIC SPACE NA-ZI]]."''
7
8Former Dalek Supreme of the Cult of Skaro, former Dalek Hybrid, and formerly deceased. Arrives in the ''Puella Magi'' universe with absolutely no explanation, and is now trapped in the same StableTimeLoop as Homura. Irritable, and prone to backfiring MadScience. Was once the executive officer of the Dalek Inquisitor General, and was promoted for surviving five consecutive missions under his command.
9
10* {{Angrish}}: His fourth attempt at playing ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' results in this.
11* BeamSpam: Why yes, the Dalek DeathRay ''does'' have an autofire function.
12* BlueAndOrangeMorality: He's a decent guy for a Dalek, but he's still a Dalek.
13* CosmicPlaything: And he knows it.
14* DeadpanSnarker: At least, as deadpan as you can get while screaming.
15* EpicFail: A result of his plans running with RefugeInAudacity is that when they backfire, they backfire ''hard''.
16* EvenEvilHasStandards: Sec tends to view wanton destruction as wasteful.
17** Also, even ''he'', '''[[AxCrazy a]] [[OmnicidalManiac Dalek]]''', finds [[TheSociopath Kyubey]] and [[ManipulativeBastard his methods]] disgusting.
18* ForScience: His motivation for a lot of stuff. Sec likes to know how things work, and the harder something is to figure out the more rewarding he views it.
19* FourStarBadass: WordOfGod has it that the title of "Supreme" basically equates to that of a General. So far, the only thing that has managed to hurt him was [[spoiler:[[PhysicalGod Krimehild Gretchen]]]]. And even then, his response consisted more of impotent rage.
20* HeelFaceTurn: Downplayed. While he ''has'' turned his back on the Daleks' usual psychopathy, he's still a robot-alien-Nazi.
21* LargeHam: Literally never stops screaming. Even when he whispers. Somehow.
22* NoIndoorVoice: At one point, Homura cuts the connection between her body and her Soul Gem. She's cut off from all senses, including hearing, yet she can ''still'' hear him.
23* MadScientist: Very much so. He's currently aiming to take advantage of Sayaka going Witch using Dalek Science.
24* OldSoldier: All Daleks are warriors, and Sec is a very old Dalek. Considered a sign of prowess by their species given that they're at war with basically everything.
25* TheOlderImmortal: While Homura is very old for a human, old enough to have stopped keeping track, she's a child compared to Sec.
26* [[RageAgainstTheHeavens Rage Against The Creator]]
27* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Claims to be 250,000 years old.
28* RefugeInAudacity: Primary tactic against everything.
29* SociopathicHero: Not as bad as most Daleks, who tend to be outright genocidal, but he's still pretty crazy by our standards.
30* UnstoppableRage: He's a Dalek, so this comes naturally.

33[[folder:The Dalek Inquisitor General]]
34-->''"[[StayingAlive I STILL FUN-CTION!!]]"''
35
36The most cruel, ruthless, and terrifying Dalek in the Empire. Was Sec's commander for five consecutive missions. [[TheDreaded Scares other Daleks.]]
37
38* BadBoss: To the point that Sec got promoted to Supreme, a position usually reserved for specially-bred Daleks, simply by surviving five missions under his command.
39* TheDreaded: Even the other Daleks are terrified of the General. [[spoiler:He was teleported onto a Dalek Battle Saucer filled with the 2010, post-Time War Daleks. He's a ''pre-''Time War Dalek. No shields, vulnerable to physical attack, and much weaker than the new models. The General manages to destroy them all without firing a single shot. His next task? Conquering the rest of the fleets.]]
40* EvenEvilHasStandards: Not the General himself, but for all other Daleks in regards to him. You know he's crossed a few lines when the Daleks, the poster child of OmnicidalManiac, are more scared of him than they are of ''the Doctor''.
41* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: "Dalek Inquisitor General" is actually only his title and function. His [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner_of_the_Daleks first appearance]] gave his actual name: [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Dalek X]].
42* FateWorseThanDeath: WordOfGod says that being assigned to his command is considered this by Daleks.
43* OmnicidalManiac: To the point that even the other Daleks are scared of him.

46[[folder:Homura Akemi]]
47-->''"Madoka saved me...and one day, I'll return the favor."''
48
49[[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Time-Traveling Magical Zombie/Lich]]. [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld So old she can't even remember what her father looked like]], and basically the same person as she was in canon.
50
51* BeneathTheMask
52* {{Determinator}}: Sec finds her ability to continue on determination alone "very Dalek".
53* OnlySaneMan: Compared to Sec, at any rate.
54* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: She stopped keeping track of how old she was long ago, and can no longer remember her own family.
55* ScarfOfAsskicking: Begins wearing one during the fic, which causes a minor freakout in Sec (who proceeds to mutter something about "jellybabies", indicating that he was reminded of the Fourth Doctor).
