10	-> "Your Gracious host"
11
12	The godly master of manipulation and trickery, the Trickster Hellion is the overseer and organizer of the tournament. He claims to have started the tournament entirely for his amusement, but time will tell if there truly is a method to his madness.

14	* AbsurdlySharpBlade: The Singularity, which outright obliterates matter on contact, but can only be used to stab instead of slash.

21	* TheTrickster: His entire shtick. Supposedly his job is to manipulate people into becoming [[TheHero heroes]] without them knowing it, making him something of a TricksterMentor as well. [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation He may or may not be running the tournament for that reason]].
22	* VoluntaryShapeshifter: He can change his form at will, but he [[MorphicResonance can't change his colors and refuses to shapeshift his top hat]].

72
73	! Residents of the Higherworld

They seem to have no purpose other than to seek out and kill their counterpart.

115	-> "The Bladed General"
116
117	Hybrid is the commanding general of the country called Wysteria. Being a military leader, he is a member of BLADE, a group consisting of only the highest in the ranks of the army. He doesn't stand away from the frontline, however, and in fact is built to be a living war machine due to his mostly cybernetic body.
118
119	----
120	* AbnormalLimbRotationRange: There doesn't seem to be many cases, but Hybrid mentions that he can 'crack' his legs suited for a four-legged stance.
121	* AloofAlly: In groups more than two, he tends to set a distance and prefer not to interact. Same thing if he's been angered.
122	* AnatomyArsenal: Particularly [[AbsurdlySharpClaws his talons]], [[SuperSenses his high hearing capacity]] and the [[BewareMyStingerTail tail]] (which is technically purposed as both a blade and a flail).

124	* BeingWatched: by [=N0Vu5=].

128	* {{Cyborg}}: He's a ball of metal and dragon parts, with only his head, internal organs and around half of his lower torso being in tact. The rest is metal, the most obvious being his [[ArtificialLimbs arms, legs and tail]].
129	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Despite not knowing much about his species, past or anything prior to his military career, he's been informed of being around when the [[GreatOffscreenWar Draconian-Lupus War]].
130	* ADogNamedDog: A mechanical hybrid of many experimental weaponry... who then proceeded to call himself "Hybrid".
131	* DualWielding: He's ambidextrous and is even mentioned to be able to even grab things with his feet.
132	* FrontlineGeneral: His cybernetics were in fact designed to make his offensive capabilities the focus. He practically lives on the frontline.
133	* LightningBruiser: He's incredibly quick despite his size.
134	* LizardFolk: Hybrid was formerly draconian, a subspecies of dragon.
135	* MysteriousPast: Hybrid doesn't remember much of his early memories.
136	* SuperStrength: While Hybrid isn't the strongest in terms of physical capacity, his tail could do a fair amount of damage.

138
139	[[folder: Miles]]
140	!! [[http://fav.me/dbpbhxk Miles]]
141	-> "The Dreamer"

144	----
145	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Not as much in Miles' case, but his world has a bunch of weird colored cats. His are just toned down to where he could also be a black cat (until you see the weird colored blood that is)
146	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Definitely has ADHD
147	* TheBerserker: Not Miles, but his Shadow tends to blindly attack at not even form coherent sentences in it's rage, almost like it's not using a [[StepfordSmiler happy facade]] to hide the fact that it's terrified, and angry, at the situation at hand
148	%%* CivilizedAnimal
149	* CloseRangeCombatant: His fighting style is lots of kicks and punches, and throwing things, and doing his best to tackle things despite his small size
150	* DreamWalker: All of the universes he enters with his Dreamer form are dream-based pocket ones.
151	** This also covers any and all fictional universes since technically those are Dream Worlds too
152	* LightningBruiser: He's got Super Strength, but he's only semi-invincible, which means he's still able to get hurt physically
153	* ThePollyanna: Despite being trapped in another universe for 2 years [[YearInsideHourOutside or 2 Buffer Zone Hours]], and dying horrifically in said universe (which just made him [[CatsHaveNineLives Respawn]] back into the Buffer Zone rather than actually killing him), Miles seems to be totally fine with the situation and keeps his optimistic and energetic mood going.
154	** Although seeing bright green glowing is enough to [[ThousandYardStare send him into flashbacks]], and if it's cube shaped it's worse.
155	* SuperReflexes: He has cat-level hearing and smelling
156	[[/folder]]
157
158	[[folder: Nameless and Curie]]

161	--> "The Demonic Follower"
162
163	Nameless had a tough time growing up and has [[GrowingUpSucks literally and figuratively been through hell and back.]] Long story short, the cause of his sister's death caused him to become [[MiseryBuildsCharacter extremely paranoid and thus he tries to hide his identity and puts on a tough act.]]

178	** It only works if whatever he's dividing is made of equal halves/thirds/fourths/ect.
179	* NobleDemon: Except he's not villianous at all.
180	* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Succubi/Incubi are demons that feed off sleeping victims. Nameless is the other type.
181	** Despite this, he gets his fix [[EmotionEater another way.]]
182	* ParentalSubstitute: This with Curie.
183	* PapaWolf: Even though he's just met Curie...
184	* ResurrectiveImmortality: No thanks to the Demigod Todd and the Soulmate Pact, He is not allowed to die. His soul is bound to Todd and will never reach death before he does.
185	** The biggest handicap to it is that it takes around 24 hours to be fully recovered, [[TimeDilation something that the Higher World lacks.]]
186	%%* ScaryTeeth
187	* TacticalRockPaperScissors: His original world goes Gods < Humans < Demons < Gods, making him while immune to weaknesses like Crosses and Holy Water, will still get severely hurt by other Gods and their magic.
188	* TraumaButton: Pushing to know about his relationship for the god he's representing.
189	* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: [[LiteralMetaphor Trauma from a young age turned into a unique power, all because]] [[DramaticIrony "How would you like it if someone tore You in half?"]]

197	During her time in Higher World, she encounters the Demonic Follower Nameless...
198	----
199
200	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: another contestant with ADHD. She will get easily distracted or lose interest to the point of wandering off.
201	* BadassAdorable
202	* BagOfHolding: Subverted. She does have a limit to what items she has, but it's damn well enough for long adventures.
203	** she even uses some of the items as combat tools.
204	* CallToAdventure: Not only does she like the unknown, she has the [[WalkingTheEarth constant drive to not stay in one area.]]
205	* CheerfulChild: Definitely shows this despite her drifting attitude.
206	%%* CloseRangeCombatant
207	* {{Determinator}} - She is SET on seeing all of Higher World and what it holds.
208	* DissonantSerenity: While everyone is trying to escape from their Shadow of Man or reach the prize for their own needs, Curie blissfuly wants to explore all of Higher World.
209	%%* TheDrifter
210	* ElectiveMute: You'll only hear a few words from her upon first meetings, but as bonds grow she'll speak up more[[note]]The only exception shown was with Nameless[[/note]]...[[SensoryOverload Until she's in crowds.]]
211	* ForgetfulJones: Majority of the time Curie will will be in deep with her adventures that she will forget her daily needs.
212	** Unless she has a Item to remember an event by, She appears to have memory problems as a whole.
213	* HopeIsScary: She was previously okay with being alone the majority of her life, but the thoughts are now just eating at her. Especially after meeting Nameless.
214	** [[TheOphelia Her Shadow of Man however...]]
215	* LackOfEmpathy: In a more Autistic sense. It doesnt help that her attitude will be considered Naive to others. She does try her best to be more sympathizing.
216	* MagicalAccessory: With the [[LostTechnology Old Relic]] she found, she can perform [[PlayingWithFire many fire tricks]] mixed in with her combat. Or can create tiny, firefly-like flames to light her way.
217	** It's possible that the relic only amplifies the power, and it actually comes from within Curie.
218	* OurGodsAreDifferent: Terranova was recreated by a Phoenix with its fire, and ascended to the stars to become the world's Sun.
219	* ParentalAbandonment: It's completely hinted that her parents left home to travel once- But never came back. She doesn't even remember their faces.
220	** She lived with her Godfather the rest of the years but, unfortunately, even he didn't had the time to care for her.
221	*** [[BlatantLies she appears to be okay with this.]]
222	* TragicKeepsake: Upon the many Trinkets she collected and kept, one of them is a Picture frame of 3 people; one of them being her Godfather, and [[DeceasedParentsAreTheBest two other people that]] [[ForgottenFirstMeeting she feels a sense of longing everytime she looks at it.]]
