| 6 | [[folder:Benjamin Kirby "Ben" Tennyson]] |
| 7 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bennyboy10.PNG]] |
| 8 | Initially a regular ten-year-old kid, Ben Tennyson happened to accidentally stumble upon the Omnitrix, a powerful watch-like alien device, which promptly attached to his wrist. After discovering that it allows him to turn into various alien creatures, each with their own set of powers, he quickly takes advantage of the situation by becoming a Super Hero, dealing with various human, alien, and supernatural threats. |
| 9 | ----- |
| 10 | * AdaptationalBadass: In the original canon, Ben's fighting style was focused almost entirely around his aliens. Here, he [[IKnowMaddenKombat incorporates his soccer skills into his combat style as a human]]. When he fights with Cardin as a human in chapter 39, he ''destroys'' the jerk. He also gets his Aura unlocked by Maria in chapter 44, though it's apparently on Kylie's level compared to Ruby's due to his Osmosian genetics from his grandmother. |
| 11 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: Ben's nicer because it's Ruby and he wants to be friends with her, and because Gwen isn't around to antagonize him, this makes Ben nicer all around. |
| 12 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: Without Gwen around, Ben's natural intelligence shines more often. Like, he still makes mistakes and acts like the 10-year-old he is, but he isn't the "dummy" he's occasionally portrayed in canon. |
| 13 | * AscendedFanboy: He was a big fan of superheroes as a whole long before he became one himself. |
| 14 | * BerserkButton: Trying to hurt any innocent people. [[LetsGetDangerous Then he will get serious and beat the crap out of you]]. |
| 15 | * BrilliantButLazy: It's hinted several times that Ben is smarter than his attitude would suggest; he has been shown to adapt when the Omnitrix gives him the wrong alien and can get an extremely good grade when he is working seriously at school...it's just that he's not engaged. |
| 16 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: He gets drunk fairly easily. |
| 17 | * CharacterDevelopment: Come the time skip, Ben is more mature and serious compared to how he was back when he was a kid. |
| 18 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: Ben was still all about being a hero and is willing to do anything to help others. |
| 19 | * DestructiveSavior: Ben tends to cause massive destruction anytime he practices his super-heroics. |
| 20 | * DeadpanSnarker: Enjoys a good bit of banter with his enemies and is kinda snarky after getting a lot of confidence. |
| 21 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: A notable character trait of him at first, something that many enemies took advantage of. |
| 22 | * EveryoneCanSeeIt: His attraction to an older Ruby. Kevin later asks him, ''very'' bluntly, why they ''aren't'' dating yet. |
| 23 | * GeniusBruiser: Relatively, and surprisingly for an IdiotHero. He frequently manages feats of startling intelligence. |
| 24 | * HenshinHero: Completed with a green flash and a TransformationSequence for each alien form. |
| 25 | * HowDoIShotWeb: Ben initially had a hard time learning how to use the Omnitrix on his own, even causing his first transformation by accident. |
| 26 | * JumpedAtTheCall: Ben ''loves'' possessing the Omnitrix and acting as a hero, both because of the thrill of adventure and because [[ChronicHeroSyndrome it allows him to help people]]. |
| 27 | * Keet: He is typically depicted as skinnier than average, fairly hyperactive kid when younger. |
| 28 | %%* KidHero: Chapters 1-24. |
| 29 | * LethalChef: He grew out of it, but he once destroyed the Rustbucket's kitchen when trying to make mac and cheese. |
| 30 | %%* LivingLegend: Gradually becomes this over the course of the series. |
| 31 | * IKnowMaddenKombat: Chapter 39 reveals that, in this universe, Ben ''can'' fight without his aliens if need be, when undercover at Beacon, during a spar with Cardin where he can't use his aliens, he ''destroys'' the jerk, much to Ruby's surprise, using his soccer skills and a soccer-ball sized projectile. |
| 32 | * IShallTauntYou: He quips more than Spider-Man. |
| 33 | * MadeOfIron: Even taking his armor into consideration, it's noted that he's surprisingly tough for an Aura-lacking human. |
| 34 | %%* MouthyKid |
| 35 | * NiceGuy: Apart from being a jerk sometimes, he's kind, forgiving, and can be polite to everyone even though sometimes people get on his bad side. |
| 36 | * NinjaPirateRobotZombie: He is a Kid Super Hero capable of Voluntary Shapeshifting into various Aliens. |
| 37 | %%* OfficialCouple: With [[spoiler: Ruby, in the future]].[[spoiler:They finally get together in chapter 58]]. |
| 38 | * OlderAndWiser: Significantly smarter and wiser than his 10 years old counterpart. He is still a kid at heart, but he actually listens to advice, accepts others' help, and thinks before acting. |
| 39 | * OneManArmy: Ben can only use one form at a time, but since most of his aliens are more than powerful enough to deal with entire armies it still counts. |
| 40 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: He occasionally does this. The best example is when Ruby brings up a peacock in "Ultimate Assassin". |
| 41 | * SecretIdentity: Very few people know about Ben's ability to transform. |
| 42 | * SecretlyWealthy: Thanks to him and Max suing the pants off of numerous aliens who created unlicensed media and merchandise based on him and his adventures, Ben is actually rather wealthy, to the point that he suspects that he has more money than ''Weiss'' does in Earth terms. He just doesn't use really most of it in case he needs something, though he sometimes secretly helped Ceres with funding for her projects. |
| 43 | %%* ShockAndAwe: [[spoiler:His Semblance apparently, which he unlocks in Chapter 68]]. |
| 44 | * StrongAndSkilled: The Omnitrix gives him access to thousands of different powersets at a moment's notice, giving him the ability to counter almost any adversary. What's more, he has years of experience with each of them, so he knows how to get the most out of whatever form he's using, even when locked to one species |
| 45 | %%* SuperHero: He is very insistent on being referred to as such. |
| 46 | * SuperpowerLottery: The Omnitrix provides Ben with the following abilities: |
| 47 | ** VoluntaryShapeshifting[=/=]ComboPlatterPowers: His main ability provided by the Omnitrix is to turn into various alien creatures, each one with its own set of powers. He started out limited to ten forms (hence his surname), only to get more and more as the story goes on. By now, he is assumed to possess more than fifty forms. |
| 48 | ** MultiformBalance: With over 1,000,000 potential aliens with various powers, he could handle any imaginable situation. |
| 49 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: As a teenager, he has a fondness for smoothies and to a minor extent chili fries. |
| 50 | %%* TransformationTrinket: The Omnitrix. |
| 51 | %%* TrueCompanions: Ruby, Kevin, Gwen, Max, Ceres, Kylie, Rook, Weiss, Blake, Yang, and Min. |
| 52 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Had a fear of clowns when he was younger. |
| 53 | %%* WouldHitAGirl: Goes all out against Yang. |

| 57 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ruby.PNG]] |
| 58 | Ruby is Ben's best friend. Ruby is a cheerful, idealistic young girl who always dreamed of becoming a Huntress to help people. However, she is a little socially awkward and somewhat fixated on her weapon, Crescent Rose. She is partnered with Weiss and is the leader of Team RWBY. |
| 59 | ----- |
| 60 | * AbsurdlySharpBlade: Crescent Rose can effortlessly cleave through trees, but Grimm can require additional effort if they're larger and more powerful. |
| 61 | * AceCustom: Ruby designed Crescent Rose all by herself. |
| 62 | %%* ActionGirlfriend: For Ben. |
| 63 | * AdaptationalVillainy: InUniverse, she's cast as the basis of the "Red Queen", the villain of the cartoon starring Ben's alien forms. |
| 64 | * AlliterativeName: '''R'''uby '''R'''ose. |
| 65 | * AmbiguouslyBi: We know from the Ben 10k chapter that she's attracted to guys, but she's also rather taken with Ceres when they meet for the first time. |
| 66 | * AnchoredAttackStance: Because of Crescent Rose's intense recoil, Ruby Sword Plants the blade to keep her aim steady when she's using it as a sniper rifle. |
| 67 | * AudibleSharpness: Crescent Rose literally hums as it slices through the air. |
| 68 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest of the team (being 2 years younger than the rest) and acts like a spirited and somewhat naive young girl. |
| 69 | * BadassAdorable: She slays monsters with a smile on her face. |
| 70 | * BadassBandolier: Her belt stores the bullets for her sniper scythe. Which she can wield one-handed and which is twice her size. |
| 71 | * BadassCape: Dons a red cape in her usual huntress outfit. |
| 72 | * {{BFG}}: When her weapon is in rifle form, the gun alone is almost as long as her body. When the weapon transforms into a scythe, it unfolds to its full length; the blade alone is the same height as her, the handle is at least half as long again, and she can still use it as a gun. |
| 73 | * BlowYouAway: Ruby can use her Semblance to whip up wind so powerful it can pin people to the wall. |
| 74 | * ClarkKentOutfit: According to her during a spar with Rook, she's actually ''ripped'' underneath her clothes. |
| 75 | * CleavageWindow: Her future outfit has one. Ben sweats upon seeing it. |
| 76 | * CompanionCube: Ruby is very affectionate towards Crescent Rose, calling it her sweetheart and gently caressing it while it's in hand when she isn't using it as a weapon. |
| 77 | * CuteBruiser: She can casually sling Crescent Rose around even though it's as long as she is tall when fully extended. She threw a guy through a window when she was 10. '''10!''' |
| 78 | * DramaticGunCock: Crescent Rose seems to cock solely for intimidation factor, seeing as it's a bolt-action rifle which has enough technological advancements to transform into a functional scythe. |
| 79 | * FlowerMotifs: Is heavily associated with roses. Her semblance leaves rose petals when she uses her super speed. |
| 80 | * FragileSpeedster: She can't really take a hit. Hitting her on the other hand is another story altogether. |
| 81 | * FriendlySniper: Her primary weapon is, in her own words, a "customizable high-impact sniper rifle", and she's a very cheerful GenkiGirl. |
| 82 | %%* GenreSavvy: Has her moments. |
| 83 | * GenerationXerox: Almost a carbon copy of her mother. |
| 84 | * GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Though still a girly girl, Ruby is also an experienced fighter. |
| 85 | * GradeSkipper: Ozpin let Ruby attend Beacon two years before she'd normally be able to, making her 15 when compared to her 17-year-old classmates. |
| 86 | * HiddenBuxom: Her corset isn't for show, as the Halloween chapter reveals, she usually uses it to compact her bust so she can be more aerodynamic. |
| 87 | * TheIdealist: Much like canon, she looks for the best in people. |
| 88 | * InnocentGrayEyes: Ruby has uniquely silver eyes among the cast and is a Wide-Eyed Idealist who wants to protect others from the Grimm. |
| 89 | %%* TheLeader: Of team RWBY. |
| 90 | * LikeMotherLikeDaughter: Ruby has been shown to be a lot like her mother Summer Rose. |
| 91 | %%* KidHero: Chapters 1-24. |

| 93 | * MissingMom: Her mom died when she was young. |
| 94 | * NiceGirl: Very kind and warm-hearted. |
| 95 | * NoSell: [[spoiler:Zs'Skayr tries to possess her, but her Aura being active keeps her from getting inside her]]. |
| 96 | * OnlySaneWoman: Subverted. Her cheerful and excited demeanor makes her prone to reckless decisions that her more level-headed compatriots might not make, like rushing ahead during certain exercises and getting blasted for her troubles. |
| 97 | %%* SheWhoFightsMonsters: Duh. She's a huntress. |
| 98 | * SomethingAboutARose: She leaves rose petals in her wake while she's dashing around with her Semblance. Her last name is also Rose. |
| 99 | * SpectacularSpinning: She does a lot of spins with the scythe (often aided by Recoil Boost), and with a weapon that massive with that design, it works pretty well. |
| 100 | * SuperSpeed: Her semblance lets her move at hypersonic speeds for short bursts. |
| 101 | %%* TrueCompanions: Ben, Kevin, Gwen, Max, Ceres, Kylie, Rook, Weiss, Blake, and Yang. |
| 102 | %%* WeaponAcrossTheShoulder: Invokes this with Crescent Rose. |
| 103 | * WeaponTwirling: Spins her scythe around when she's reloading it. |

| 108 | Kevin was originally a street troublemaker kid with the ability to absorb energy, who got regularly bullied and abused by his stepfather. He accidentally absorbed energy from the Omnitrix, causing him to mimic Ben's shapeshifting powers. He became the "Batman" to Ben's "Superman", before getting roped in with the wrong crowd and decided to work to redeem himself. |
| 109 | ---- |
| 110 | %%* AntiHero: Originally one in the earlier chapters. |
| 111 | * TheAtoner: He officially becomes this after realizing how much his mental state is messed up after getting chased by bounty hunters. |
| 112 | * TheBigGuy: Technically the strongest human. |
| 113 | * BodyHorror: Suffers from this 3 times in the series; the first time was having the [=AntiTrix=] grow out of his skin, the second was his mutation, and the third was from his growing allergy to the [=AntiTrix=]. |
| 114 | * BrattyHalfPint: As a child. He used his powers to intimidate others. |
| 115 | * CanonWelding: Combined the Mutant and [=AntiTrix=] from both OS and Reboot into one character. |
| 116 | * ComboPlatterPowers: Absorbing energy from an alien will cause him to gain some of the alien's characteristics and powers. When absorbing energy directly from the Omnitrix, he will eventually turn into a monstrous, chaotic amalgam of several aliens. Eventually, this led to the creation of the [=AntiTrix=]. |
| 117 | %%* CompositeCharacter: With his Prime and Reboot counterparts. |
| 118 | %%* DeadpanSnarker: Usually regarding a mission he is unhappy with, or an undesirable outcome. |
| 119 | %%* DisappearedDad: Devin Levin. |
| 120 | %%* EnergyAbsorption: As usual. His original power. |
| 121 | * GentleGiant: He's by far the tallest of the group, but by the time he's a teen, he's seen to be kind. |
| 122 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He tries to keep up his ruffian attitude, but he has genuinely changed and is now a force for good. |
| 123 | %%* LongHairedPrettyBoy: His hair reaches his shoulders. |
| 124 | %% ZCE * LoveableRogue |
| 125 | * MusicalThemeNaming: This is such a strong theme among his transformation names that it could make fans of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' chuckle in amusement. Either that or Kevin is just that big of a music lover. |
| 126 | %%* SuperPowerLottery: |
| 127 | %% ZCE * TallDarkAndHandsome |
| 128 | %% ZCE * TallDarkAndSnarky |
| 129 | * TeensAreMonsters: Inverted, he was evil as a child, but turned good after becoming a teenager. |
| 130 | * TookALevelInBadass: With his composite powers, Kevin's allowed to use alien forms without going insane. |
| 131 | * TookALevelInKindness: He's much kinder and less of a jerk than he was in Alien Force and Ultimate Alien. |
| 132 | %%* TransformationTrinket: The [=AntiTrix=]. |
| 133 | [[/folder]] |
| 134 | |
| 135 | [[folder:Ceres North]] |
| 136 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/exw4ikbxyaem2m4.jpg]] |
| 137 | The leader of the Zeta Squad, Ceres was meant to be a mechanic/scientist for the base but had to babysit her team instead. Though don't let her fool you, she gets involved in all the shenanigans willingly. |
| 138 | ---- |
| 139 | * TheAce: She's drop-dead gorgeous and a skilled warrior. |

| 141 | * AmazonianBeauty: Is both highly muscular and highly attractive. |

| 143 | * TheAtoner: Defied. She knows very well that she can never make up for the fact that she wiped out an entire race (albeit on complete accident), so she doesn't. She just tries to live with it. |
| 144 | %%* BigBrotherMentor: To the Zeta Squad. |
| 145 | %%* CatGirl: Due to her Archemedian horns. |
| 146 | %%* ChildSoldier: Was implied to be one. Chapter 50 confirms it, and that she went through ''[[WarIsHell hell]]''. |
| 147 | * CrazyPrepared: Ready for anything thrown at her. |
| 148 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: In Chapter 27, it's heavily implied that Ceres is a former Child Soldier, whose government and Max's higher-ups basically forced into the Zeta Squadron leadership position when she thought that she was just going for her mechanical engineering degree. |
| 149 | ** [[spoiler:Chapter 50 reveals that her desperate attempt to stop the Incursions from attacking her people ended up with her inadvertently ''wiping the Incursions out'', and being ''congratulated for it''. Afterward, when corrupt officials couldn't get her to hand over information on the weapon, they briefly sent her to ''death row'' before Lev found her.]] |
| 150 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Ceres's Amazonian Beauty looks have apparently gotten the attention of both Ruby and Weiss, and Rook outright says that everyone in Zeta Squadron, which would include Kylie, has feelings for her. Later, a female Plumber outright says that Ceres makes her question her sexuality. |
| 151 | * FamousAncestor: Is apparently the granddaughter of Ileana Petranova, who was a personal friend of Azmuth. |
| 152 | * AFatherToHisMen: Deeply cares for the Zeta Squadron members under her command, working herself into exhaustion to try and help Kevin when he falls ill, for instance. |
| 153 | * GadgeteerGenius: Ceres developed Doppler with Ari and Lev. |
| 154 | * GeniusBruiser: Both physically strong ''and'' highly intelligent. |
| 155 | %%* HotBlooded: She can be this from time to time. |
| 156 | * TheLadette: She was raised in a rough environment and thus acts quite like a rough guy. |
| 157 | * MadScientist: This in spades- she's seen ripping up one of Fistrick's robots for parts and created Doppler. |
| 158 | * MeaningfulRename: After what happened in her past, she changed her name. Her current first name means "illuminating", which she likes better than her original name. |
| 159 | * PlayingWithFire: Has pyrokinetic abilities. It apparently has to do with [[ThePowerOfTheSun sunlight literally running through her]], which [[spoiler:keeps Zs'Skayr from even trying to possess her.]] |
| 160 | %%* PowerFist: Ceres shares this trope with Yang. |
| 161 | * ShellShockedVeteran: Chapter 50 confirms that she has PTSD, from experiencing WarIsHell as a ChildSoldier [[spoiler:and committing ''genocide'' by mistake]]. |
| 162 | %%* SheWhoFightsMonsters: Fought against [[spoiler:Way Bads and Grimm]] |
| 163 | * StatuesqueStunner: She stands at six-feet-tall, much taller than any of her teammates. |
| 164 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: Aloof and stoic on the surface. In reality, she's a dork. |
| 165 | * WomenAreWiser: She's one of the smartest members of the team. |
| 166 | [[/folder]] |
| 167 | |
| 168 | [[folder:Weiss Schnee]] |
| 169 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/capture_536.PNG]] |
| 170 | The frosty heiress to the Schnee Dust Company. Elegant, self-assured, and determined to prove herself, she's cold...but also has a soft side to her. Her weapon is Myrtenaster, a "Multi-Action Dust Rapier" loaded with Dust cartridges that is both a deadly melee weapon and an effective conduit for her Semblance. |
| 171 | ----- |
| 172 | * AdaptationalBadass: Weiss gains some knight's armor to cover up her fragility- this helps especially in her fight with the Chainsaw Guy in Chapter 54, as she's able to fight back. |
| 173 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: Weiss is much nicer than in canon, ''especially'' since she's seen tolerating Ben. |
| 174 | %%* AmbiguouslyGay: Weiss has been shown to have a tiny crush on Ceres. |
| 175 | %%** Her relation with Kylie borders on this. |
| 176 | * AppliedPhlebotinum: While it's implied that all the weapons use Dust, Myrtenaster, being a "Multi Action Dust Rapier", uses a lot of it, which makes sense considering her connections. |
| 177 | * CurtainsMatchtheWindows: She has light blue hair with Icy Blue Eyes. |
| 178 | * DanceBattler: Weiss's moves are poised and graceful like she's ballet dancing or figure skating, even while she's gliding across the floor at high speed. Her dance-like motions are actually intentional as they're required to utilize her Semblance. |
| 179 | %%* DefrostingIceQueen |
| 180 | %%* DuelingScar: Has a small thin one over her left eye. |
| 181 | * ElementalEyeColours: Her piercing, icy blue eyes fit well with her ice powers. |
| 182 | * FashionableAsymmetry: She ties her ponytail to the right as her way of rebelling against her parents. |
| 183 | * GirlyBruiser: Wears a "combat skirt" and heels into combat and will gladly destroy cultists with no problem whatsoever. |
| 184 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: Her Dueling Scar is a small pale line over her eye which is easy to ignore when looking at her. |
| 185 | * AnIcePerson: Especially with her sword's blue setting — it's one of her magic types, and the most prominent. |
| 186 | %%* IcyBlueEyes |
| 187 | %%* ImplausibleHairColour: Only member of team RWBY to invoke this because of her white hair. |
| 188 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her rudeness, she's very polite to Kylie. |
| 189 | * MagicKnight: She can use a variety of elemental and supportive abilities with her use of Dust and Glyphs on top of using her sword to cut apart Grimm with speed and grace. |
| 190 | * OnlySaneMan: She stays grounded even when those around her are spiraling into insanity. |
| 191 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: Ironwood is her stepfather in this universe. |

| 194 | [[folder:Blake Belladonna]] |
| 195 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_95.PNG]] |
| 196 | A quiet and secretive young woman who loves books. She is secretly a cat Faunus and also Yang's partner. |
| 197 | ----- |
| 198 | * ActionBomb: She can detonate her clones with fire dust. |
| 199 | * AlliterativeName: Her first and last name both start with "B". |
| 200 | * AnimalEaredHeadband: The bow she wears on her head is designed to invoke this, giving the illusion of cat ears while hiding her real ones. |
| 201 | * AnimalStereotypes: She's a cat Faunus and her favorite food is fish. |
| 202 | * BadassBookworm: As an outside huntress, Blake already has a wealth of combat experience that gives her a leg up above her peers. She also loves reading literature in her free time. |
| 203 | * BizarreAlienBiology: As a cat Faunus, Blake has a pair of Human ears and a pair of cat ears on her head. |
| 204 | * CombatPragmatist: She prefers to get the jump on her foes and take them down stealthily from behind, slowly moving through enemy ranks until no one is left standing. |
| 205 | * CombatStilettos: Blake's fighting style is highly mobile and acrobatic even though she runs around in high heels. |
| 206 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Blake used to be apart of the White Fang, a group of Faunus fighting for their freedom. She joined to get to know a White Fang member named Adam Taurus, and the two soon fell in love and were romantically involved...at least until Blake realized how unhinged Adam was. After defending herself during a mission, Blake kicked Adam off of a train car...and apparently killed him. She isn't sure, as she never checked the body. She now has to live with that guilt every day...]] |
| 207 | %%* DarkerAndEdgier: Played with, seeing as [[spoiler: she did kill Adam in this adaptation...]] |
| 208 | * DopplegangerAttack: Played with. Blake's Semblance can create shadow clones to distract opponents and take attacks for her, but she can't actually manipulate them in any way. |
| 209 | * DualWielding: Blake can wield her Gambol Shroud this way, holding the main body with one hand and the sheath (which also possesses a cleaver-like cutting edge) in the other. |
| 210 | * HideYourOtherness: As a Faunus, Blake is terrified of being outed because of the torment she would get from people like Cardin, a notorious racist. |
| 211 | * InTheBack: She tends to take down her foes from behind rather than trying to take them in a straight fight. |
| 212 | * LittleBitBeastly: She's a cat Faunus, giving her cat-like ears on top of her head that she hides with a bow. She also has some cat-like behaviors |
| 213 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 214 | ** "Blake" is derived from two Old English words that mean "black" and "pale" respectively, reflecting her black and white color motif. |
| 215 | ** To "gambol" is to run or jump around playfully while "shroud" means to hide or conceal something. The chaotic and mutable nature of her use of Gambol Shroud as a gun, sword, and kusarigama as well as her ninja-like combat style make the name a fitting a choice for her. |
| 216 | * MixAndMatchWeapon: The Gambol Shroud is a katana attached to a machine pistol. Because it's also tied to a ribbon, she can use it as a kusarigama as well. Even the sheath is able to be used as a cleaver. |
| 217 | * MostFanficWritersAreGirls: Has apparently written “Ninjas of Love” fanfiction. |
| 218 | * {{Ninja}}: She prefers to knock out people from behind before vanishing back into the shadows. She also makes shadow clones and is one of the best at sneaking around and gathering information. |
| 219 | * SignatureHeadgear: She wears a bow to hide her cat ears. |
| 220 | * SuperSenses: Like all Faunus, Blake has night vision. |
| 221 | %%* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Fish. |

| 226 | Ruby's older half-sister, Yang is a fiery young woman who wants to become a Huntress in search of adventure and excitement. A skilled brawler with a powerful Semblance, her passion for fighting is only matched by her flirtatiousness, confidence, and her penchant for cracking lame puns. |
| 227 | ----- |
| 228 | * TheAce: An expert in battle and incredibly smart and beautiful. |
| 229 | * AdaptationalBadass: Yang managed to go toe to toe with both Fourarms and Cannonbolt, aliens who have taken down giant robots and survived re-entry into Earth...and win! |
| 230 | * AmazonianBeauty: Yang's beauty is on par with Ceres. |
| 231 | * BigSisterInstinct: Yang is protective of Ruby but less so than canon. |
| 232 | * BoisterousBruiser: Yang knows she has the skills to pay the bills and is happy to let everyone know it. |
| 233 | * BoxingBattler: She primarily relies on boxing-style attacks in conjunction with the Ember Celica to deal punishing amounts of damage at point-blank range. She also integrates aspects of kickboxing when her fists aren't enough. |
| 234 | * BruiserWithASoftCenter: Yang hits hard and fast in a fight and doesn't like to pull punches, but she's warm and friendly to those close to her and downright motherly to her sister. |
| 235 | * CleavageWindow: As her art shows, her outfit leaves her bosom exposed for all to see. |
| 236 | * CoolBigSis: Yang is motherly and doting on Ruby, always rushing to her defense and wants the world to know how awesome she is. |
| 237 | * IncendiaryExponent: Fire swirls around her while her Semblance is active and she prefers fire Dust rounds for Ember Celica. |
| 238 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYlQF39LBi4 "I Burn"]], an IAmGreatSong that represents Yang's confidence in herself and her belief that she's unstoppable if she puts her mind to something. |
| 239 | * MadeOfIron: She can shrug off punches from Fourarms and Cannonbolt. |
| 240 | * MissingMom: Yang's birth mother, Raven, took off when she was young. Her stepmother, Summer, died when she was young as well. |
| 241 | * MixAndMatchWeapon: Ember Celica is part shotgun, part PowerFist. |
| 242 | * MsFanservice: She's the biggest source of eye candy amongst the girls, given her generous bust, exposed legs, flowing hair, and provocative outfit. |
| 243 | * ParentalAbandonment: Both of her mother figures, Raven and Summer, vanished on her. Raven disappeared shortly after Yang was born, while Summer went missing on a mission. |
| 244 | * ParentalNeglect: Yang had to pick up the pieces and take care of Ruby while her father Taiyang became emotionally withdrawn after Raven's and Summer's disappearances. |
| 245 | * ProudBeauty: Yang is happy to show off her good looks and glamorous figure. |
| 246 | * PungeonMaster: Yang has a penchant for coming up with awful puns in every situation, light-hearted or serious. |
| 247 | * RecoilBoost: Yang actively uses the Ember Celica's shotgun rounds for this when she isn't firing them at her opponents, guiding her trajectory in midair and allowing her to quickly close the distance for elbow strikes. |
| 248 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Her lilac eyes turn blood red when she's truly angry or when she activates her Semblance. |
| 249 | * SuperMode: After Yang takes enough damage, she can activate her Semblance to dish out twice the damage she took. It also makes her significantly faster. |

| 252 | [[folder:Kylie Dombrowski]] |
| 253 | [[quoteright:316:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kylie.PNG]] |
| 254 | Kylie is a Huntress turned Plumber and a member of the Zeta Squad. She's known for her gun-wielding skills, empathy, and humor. She is also an Osmosian, like her adopted brother. |
| 255 | ----- |
| 256 | * AmbiguouslyGay: It's hinted that she has feelings for Weiss that are more than platonic. |
| 257 | ** She outright asks if Min can sleep with her. |
| 258 | * BadassAdorable: She takes a more supportive role in combat situations, usually by providing gunfire. |
| 259 | %%* BewareTheNiceOnes: Can be ''vicious'' on the battlefield. |
| 260 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Oh yes. Her scenes are usually comical, but she literally shoots MULTIPLE bullets through Hawlett's head. |
| 261 | %%* BreakTheCutie: Hawlett exposes her to a terrifying vision with his powers. |
| 262 | * ChildhoodFriends: She's best friends with Weiss. |
| 263 | * CuteBruiser: Kylie has proven time and time again to be adorable...and also VERY violent on the battlefield, having used her gas mask to crack Fistrick's glass window and [[spoiler: riddled a man with bullets]]. |
| 264 | * CutenessProximity: She finds Echo Echo ''adorable.'' Ben gives her pictures of the alien as a birthday present, and when Weiss is turned into a member of Echo Echo's species by Animo's ray, Kylie is cuddling her like a living teddy bear until she returns to normal. |
| 265 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:What she sees when Lord Haslett uses his fear powers on her is what appears to be a flashback to her birth family ''being brutally murdered while she watched''.]] |
| 266 | ** In a group therapy session, she reveals that she was the youngest child of a family of overachievers, and developed StepfordSmiler tendencies, faking being perfect, studying and doing things she hated for their attention, as they loved the false her for her achievements and not her personality, and she ran away at least once. [[spoiler:Then Grimm came to her town, and a Seamstress Grimm, which drains the energy from their prey slaughtered her family, with Kylie managing to escape to a library, where she was rescued by Anna and Sienna]]. |
| 267 | * FightingFromTheInside: Her Aura isn't strong enough to keep Zs'Skayr out of her body, but she manages to maintain some control over her body, which she uses to slap herself in the face. |
| 268 | * GoodIsNotSoft: Really fun to be around, but harm any of her friends and...BANG. |
| 269 | * GenkiGirl: Kylie is a very sociable person, having arranged the cabin idea and always happy to go somewhere. |
| 270 | %%* TheGunslinger: Kylie's main weapon. |
| 271 | %%* KnockoutGas: She can produce this type of gas. |
| 272 | * MidSeasonUpgrade: Picks up her old weapon- a violin battle axe called "True Rebel." |
| 273 | * MostFanficWritersAreGirls: Writes fanfiction that has her friends and enemies as ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' characters. |
| 274 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Her petiteness means that people tend to be thrown by the fact that she's ''older'' than Kevin. |
| 275 | * OddFriendship: With Weiss. As cute as it is, there's a lot of questions to be asked about HOW they became friends. |
| 276 | * StepfordSmiler: Weiss wonders if Kylie falls under this, as she's shown smiling off such a traumatic event the next day. |
| 277 | ** She was definitely this in the past as a way of dealing with her overachiever biological family, of whom she was the youngest, describing it as an "autopilot" that studied words she didn't know and did things that she hated. |
| 278 | %%* TenderTears: Sheds some when Max dies. |
| 279 | * TraumaButton: Whatever happened when she was young, Hawlett certainly pressed it. |
| 280 | ** As revealed in Duped, Kylie's hometown was attacked by Grimm, with her biological parents killed by a Seamstress Grimm, which apparently can suck the energy from their victims, draining them until they're nothing. Anna and Sienna saved her, but she was a wreck, and even after she recovered, she's still terrified at the thought of seeing another Seamstress, even joining the Plumbers in part to gain more experience in case she ever does. |

| 282 | |
| 283 | [[folder:Rook Blonko]] |
| 284 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rook.PNG]] |
| 285 | A Revonnahgander from Revonnah recently integrated into the Plumbers. A skilled, if inexperienced Plumber. Despite being an alien, he possesses no special powers, instead relying on his skills, training, intelligence, and a device called the Proto-tool that can transform into various weapons and equipment. |
| 286 | ----- |
| 287 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Rook's very much more stressed in this universe, given his parents are more vocal at their displeasure of Rook signing up for a war. |
| 288 | * BadassBookworm: He is extremely well-read and knowledgeable about galactic history, science, and technology. |
| 289 | * BadassNormal: Unlike most alien species in the series, he lacks any ability that could be considered a super-power by human standards, and relies solely on his tech and Plumber training. Doesn't stop him from kicking ass. |
| 290 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: He's very polite and VERY skilled at combat. |
| 291 | * BlueIsHeroic: Rook's main color scheme is blue. |
| 292 | %%* BowAndSwordInAccord: The ProtoTool has both these options. |
| 293 | %%* CatBoy |
| 294 | * CharacterTics: Rook does not speak with contractions. |
| 295 | * TheComicallySerious: Rook usually deadpans most of his funny lines and playful teasing. |
| 296 | %%* CombatPragmatist: Takes this role from time to time. |
| 297 | * CoolSword: Doesn't get much cooler than a plasma blade. |
| 298 | %%* DitzyGenius: It comes from naivete rather than any actual ditziness. |
| 299 | %%* DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm |
| 300 | %%* EnergyBow: The first weapon-mode he uses in the series actually. |
| 301 | * FarmBoy: His entire species' culture is built around farming. |
| 302 | * {{Foil}}: To Ben; he is a By-the-Book Cop with no actual experience, in contrast with Ben being Taught by Experience with little training. |
| 303 | * FurIsSkin: Being a cat-like alien, he has fur, but it looks like blue skin. |
| 304 | %%* GrapplingHookPistol: One of his most common uses of it. |
| 305 | %%* InterspeciesFriendship: He, a Revonnagander, with Ben, a human. |
| 306 | * KnightInShiningArmor: Rather chivalrous in nature. |
| 307 | * LastNameBasis: Rook is the family name--''Blonko'' is actually his first name. |
| 308 | %%* LiteralMinded |
| 309 | * MundaneMadeAwesome: His powers are pretty basic, but the tools make it fun. |
| 310 | * NiceGuy: As in the canon series, he's unflinchingly polite. This extends to his sense of empathy as well. |
| 311 | * NonHumanSidekick: Downplayed as he is a humanoid with some cat features. |
| 312 | * OutOfCharacterMoment: Once called the Incurseans "a vile, evil race that the universe would be better off without." Ruby says that she's never heard him speak like this before. A Justified trope; Rook's home planet, Revonnah, produces Amber Ogia, a super fruit so valuable that many would try to steal it. The Incurseans regularly threatened to conquer/destroy his homeworld to get their hands on the stuff. |
| 313 | %%* ShoulderCannon: From its mount on his armor. |
| 314 | %%* StaticStunGun: The other most common use. |
| 315 | * SwissArmyWeapon: His Proto-tool can transform into almost any kind of weapon, including a sword, energy bow, grappling hook pistol, shoulder cannon, and stun gun. |
| 316 | %%* ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks: Captain America style. |
| 317 | * TrophyChild: Implied. His family held him to high standards since he was the firstborn son, and therefore a leader. Being seen and not heard, his every action was a reflection of his father, who was the chief of their people. |
| 318 | [[/folder]] |
| 319 | |
| 320 | [[folder:Doppler]] |
| 321 | [[quoteright:216:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/little_shit.png]] |
| 322 | Doppler is a "vaccine" created by Ceres, Ari, and Lev in order to keep Kevin alive. He can absorb and use the powers of his host. |
| 323 | ---- |
| 324 | * AdaptationNameChange: From Skurd to Doppler, as the co-author thought Skurd was a "gross" name. |
| 325 | * AdaptationalExpansion: Is brought in much earlier than before, so he has a bigger role than his original counterpart. |
| 326 | * AdaptationOriginConnection: Doppler was made to help keep Kevin alive when his body and the Anti Trix start rejecting each other. |
| 327 | * ArmCannon: He manifests powers by either growing an extra arm or forming one from another alien form over an existing one. |
| 328 | %%* ComboPlatterPowers |
| 329 | * EquippableAlly: His usual method of helping in a fight is to make a weapon from one of Kevin's aliens. |
| 330 | * FusionDance: Of the composite type; on his own initiative he can [[MixAndMatchCritters mix and match]] the limbs of Kevin's alien forms. |
| 331 | %%* GentlemanSnarker: He speaks in a very classy manner and tone. |
| 332 | %%* MegaMicrobes: Is one of these, being a plasma-based life form. |
| 333 | [[/folder]] |
| 334 | |
| 335 | [[folder:Min]] |
| 336 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bastard_min.PNG]] |
| 337 | A chaos demon Gwen accidentally summoned when trying to contact Max's spirit. Like Gwen, she uses magic. She also possesses probability manipulation. |
| 338 | ---- |
| 339 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: According to author Transwiththeplans, Min was originally a character in another story, and was written in a more somber tone. Here? She's a bastard and she ''knows'' it. |
| 340 | * BizarreTasteInFood: Her diet consists of blood because she has to remain on Earth. |
| 341 | %%* DevilInPlainSight: A rare good example. |
| 342 | %%* DisasterDominoes: How she usually uses her luck manipulation. |
| 343 | * InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: Her human form, for some weird reason, looks almost exactly like Blake, just minus the Faunus cat ears. |
| 344 | * NobleDemon: A heroic example; she came to Earth to assist Ben since she was writing Max's 'story'. |
| 345 | * OurDemonsAreDifferent: Min comes from a dimension similar to Ledgerdomain- they write the fate of people throughout the multiverse. |
| 346 | %%* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Something Gwen lampshades mentally about her at one point. |
| 347 | * WindsOfDestinyChange: Her ability to change the probability of things. |
