Line #55 Tropers/VoidKnightsc


1	DRAFT
2	!!General
3	* CentralTheme: "We all have a dark side."
4	* FourTemperamentEnsemble
5	** Sanguine: Vicki
6	** Choleric: Abyssal Demon
7	** Melancholic: Lifeweaver
8	** Phlegmatic: Dreamgazer
9	* SevenDeadlySins: Five of them for five of the characters - Wrath (Vicki), Sloth (Ryan), Envy (Vivian), Pride (Violet), and Gluttony (Abigail).
10	* SevenHeavenlyVirtues: On the other hand, at other times - Charity (Vicki), Humility (Ryan), Patience (Vivian), Kindness (Dreamgazer) and Diligence (Abigail).
11	!!Victoria "Vicki" Johnson
12	* ActionGirl: While most of the female cast are this to some degree, Vicki is the most inclined to use her fists.
13	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is she TheCape or a SmugSuper? How much of her hostility towards [[spoiler:Violet]] is justified, and how much is irrational due to CartesianKarma or maybe even jealousy? Should she be blamed for [[spoiler:Violet's DeathSeeker tendencies and her eventual HeroicSuicide]]? How much is she responsible for Vivian's descent into villainy?
14	* AnIcePerson: Other than combat, she also causes the nearby area to rapidly tend towards Antarctica climate when she's angry.
15	* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Parodied. The exobyte changed her eye colour to ice blue because it detects a strong correlation between blue eyes and ice powers, and automatically assumed it is part of the RequiredSecondaryPowers. She naturally has grey eyes and Abby makes her wear contacts that reverts her eyes to their original colour when out of costume, despite her complaints that they barely look different at a glance.
16	* BrokenAce: She has issues that are very carefully hidden.
17	* {{Expy}}: Starts off appearing as a toned-down Supergirl with ice powers. [[BerserkButton Don't call her "Supergirl", though.]]
18	* FlyingBrick: And the powerhouse of the team.
19	** SuperSpeed: Able to fly at supersonic speeds in air but lacks the SuperReflexes to pull it off on ground, even she could still move fast enough to appear as a blur she's not impossible to counter by those lacking super speed.
20	** SuperStrength: Enough to easily kill any unprotected human with an offhand blow. With enough HeroicResolve, she can punch hard enough to break pure sunstone crystal. Also subverting InvulnerableKnuckles as the effort caused her hands to bleed.
21	** SuperToughness: Noticeably less so than kryptonians; she's largely ImmuneToBullets but high calibre ammo can cause large bruises and sunstone crystal weapons can rend her skin with relative ease; that's why her ice constructs are useful to misdirect and dull blows she don't want to risk taking. [[spoiler:With her augmented exobyte, Vivian because powerful enough to burn even her.]]
22	* HarmlessFreezing: Subverted. Her freezing turns out to be very ''not'' harmless, and she nearly unknowingly [[spoiler:kills Vivian, who's basically left for dead and would have definitely died if Lex Luthor didn't come along.]]
23	* TheHero
24	* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: To [[BigBrotherMentor Superman]], of course.
25	* NeverGetsDrunk: Caused by her altered physiology. [[spoiler:Lifeweaver manages to temporarily shut that down.]]
26	* [[spoiler:TheNotLoveInterest: To Lifeweaver. They are very protective towards each other; she [[TakingTheBullet takes bullets]] for him all the time (justified because she is ImmuneToBullets while he isn't) and is highly suspicious of Violet, his actual love interest. He patches her up whenever something does manage to injure her, and lashes out at Dreamy for possibly worsening her CameBackWrong state.]]
27	* NotSoDifferent: Buried very deep down inside her subconsciousness is two radically different ideas: [[spoiler:crippling SurvivorGuilt and a desire just for the pain to end]] like Violet, and [[spoiler:an EnfantTerrible version of her that was locked away for wanting to destroy because she can, disturbingly]] like Abigail.
28	* TwoGirlsAndAGuy: With Dreamgazer and Lifeweaver. Somewhat unusually, [[spoiler:the only guy, Lifeweaver, eventually gets into a relationship with Violet, and the girls don't have any romance at all.]]
29	* WellDoneSonGuy: Her parental issues drove her to desperately seek approval from her father figure, Superman, even though she is very guarded about it.
30
31	!!Violet Blitz
32	* [[spoiler:ArtificialHuman: Sculpted out of magical clay - however, this story uses the New 52 background for Franchise/WonderWoman, where she is actually the demigod daughter of Zeus. Circe does not know this, however, leaving her cripplingly vulnerable to [[AntiMagic Nth metal]].]]
33	* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:Being ''melted from inside out'' by the Nth metal injection.]]
34	* {{Bookends}}: The first and last words she says: "SHAZAM!"
35	* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:While under Circe's control.]]
36	* DarkActionGirl: Especially after [[spoiler:losing her magical abilities, making her rely on cutting her victims to ribbons with a knife.]]
37	* HoistHeroOverHead: A rare justified case as she is attempting to finish Vicki off with an overhead lightning bolt.
38	* [[spoiler:ThePowerOfHate: Literally feeds off it to become more powerful.]]
39	* PsychoElectro: It allows her to stun and injure Vicki, who's pinning her to the ground and her toned-down Superman-esque NighInvulnerability offers little resistance to her magical lightning.
40
41
42	!!Dreamgazer
43	* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: To an even higher level than average: at first, she literally looks like a person whoever is looking at her would find the easiest to trust and be comfortable with. After a while though, it gets unsettling since she appears like a different person to everyone, so she settles as an unassuming GirlNextDoor brunette.
44	* BrutalHonesty: Has a habit of saying exactly what others are thinking in the most straightforward manner possible.
45	* [[spoiler:CompellingVoice: She does not "mind control" people, she [[InsistentTerminology "convinces"]] them to do as she says. She uses it very sparingly and doesn't really know the limits, stating she could stop Vicki only because she doesn't actually want to hurt her friends.]]
46	* EmotionlessGirl: She gradually gets better.
47	* FlyingFirepower
48	* NotSoDifferent: Both Dreamy and Abigail deliberately shapeshift into a form people would find easy to trust.
49	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Alternately called "Dreamy".
50	* {{Telepathy}}: Originally the only way of communication because she doesn't know how to speak. It makes her words carry an unnatural weight in one's mind.
51
52	!!Vivian "Flameburst Fury" Johnson
53	* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:Ends up killing Vicki in a terrible fit of rage.]]
54	* EyeBeams: Gains incredibly destructive Heat Vision after her augmentation.
55	* PlayingWithFire
56
57	!!Lifeweaver
58	* ConflictingLoyalty / FriendOrIdolDecision: He won't be in Batman's apprentice if he didn't idolize him, yet he starts to realize he doesn't want to become like him or alienate Vicki or Dreamy.
59	* HealingHands: It's in his name!
60	* LethalHarmlessPowers: Subverted. While he can basically incapacitate the super-tough Vicki with [[spoiler:artificially induced alcohol poisoning]], [[AwesomeButImpractical he can't get the concentration he needs in battle.]]
61	* [[ManOfKryptonite Women of Kryptonite]]: Everyone else on the main cast is this to some degree. Vicki and Vivian's bodies have a dense structure making it difficult for him to manipulate, Abigail is a shapeshifter and can reverse any change he might attempt, Violet is made of magical clay instead of true flesh, and Dreamy doesn't have a body at all.
62	* TheMedic
63	* SpottingTheThread: Well, he's the Batman of the group. [[spoiler:He's able to tell that it isn't Dreamgazer, but rather Abyssal Demon, who has faked her death, from the subtle differences between Dreamy's solid illusions and Abyssal Demon's true shapeshifting.]]
64
65	!!Abyssal Demon (Abigail Dearing)
66	* [[spoiler:CannibalismSuperpower: Her reason to join the team in the first place. She wants to eat Vicki, and in order to be able to do so, [[{{Squick}} she dug up Violet's corpse and eats it, and bites Ryan half to death]] to gain their powers and an edge. [[UnstoppableRage Vicki does not]] [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice take this well]].]]
67	* [[spoiler:FakingTheDead]]
68	* {{Foil}}: To Dreamgazer. [[spoiler:Both change their appearance to appeal to others, but with very different intentions.]]
69	* GoryDiscretionShot: [[spoiler:When Bizarro kills her.]]
70	* NoManOfWomanBorn: [[spoiler:She cannot be truly killed by anything in the entire multiverse. [[CrazyPrepared Batman]] skewers her with a certain magical silver sword from a [[VideoGame/RuneScape different universe]] in the omniverse which exists outside of the DC multiverse.]]
71	* ShoutOut: Abyssal demons are from ''VideoGame/RuneScape''. She also brings their signature TeleportSpam ability with her.
72	* SomeCallMeTim: Abyssal demon is her race; her true name is TheUnpronounceable; so they just call her "Abby".
73	* StevenUlyssesPerhero
74	* [[spoiler:VillainsBlendInBetter: As another non-human who takes a human form, she clearly fits in better than Dreamgazer.]]
75
76	!!Superman
77	* BattleDiscretionShot: His epic battle against General Zod across the Fortress is only heard. It's [[MythologyGag implied]] that he used his [[VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs Injustice]] super move to finally defeat him. This leaves the main characters to fend for themselves as Luthor vanished to further his own ends.
78	* PhysicalGod: Even after one of the original characters makes a DealWithTheDevil to be far more powerful than the average exobyte carrier, he still easily delivers a CurbStompBattle.
79	* YouAreTooLate: Only shows up towards the end and was too late to [[spoiler:stop Vivian from killing her own sister.]]
80
81	!!Batman
82	* BetrayalInsurance: Not entirely unexpected. [[spoiler:He develops nanotech that temporarily disables exobyte abilities and uses it against Vicki to great effect. This doesn't work on Dreamgazer, because she has no body to speak of; instead, he has a device that would fry her mind and reduce her physical form into a jumble of mental static if she tries to use her powers on him. Lifeweaver knows this to some extent, and the others are not happy to learn about it.]]
83	* TheChessmaster: He's Batman.
84	* DepletedPhlebotinumShells: Tricks Lifeweaver into shooting Violet Blitz with a specially designed Nth metal bullet.
85	* LoopholeAbuse: Being very much antiheroic in this story, he won't hesitate to get around his inhibitions to [[ThouShaltNotKill killing]] and [[DoesNotLikeGuns using guns]] if he thinks it would make the world a safer place.
