Characters / Playing It In Reverse

Tropes applying to multiple characters

• Abusive Parents: Kallian and Tyrea are both victims of this.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Machina already represent this to a degree, but it's even more apparent, given Egil's the protagonist and not an antagonist in this fanfiction.
• Close-Range Combatant: Everyone sans Kallian and Linada.
• Defiant Captive: The Machina when they are taken hostage by colony 6.
• Older Than They Look: Every party member as a result of not being human, are older than they appear. Egil Vanea and Linada are over 1000 years old, Kallian is 151, Tyrea is unknown but she has to be older than 100, and Oka is 36. Alvis has been around since before the universe began, so he's the oldest.

Egil

• Has a Type: Egil seems to have a thing for purple philosophical men.
• Like Father, Unlike Son: Miqol and Egil are very much at odds when it comes to the Machina and what has happened, to the point where Egil no longer refers to Miqol as his father.
• Past Experience Nightmare: Egil is a victim of these.
• The Lost Lenore: Arglas.

Vanea

• Beware the Nice Ones: Alvis learns Vanea falls under this when she threatens him for upsetting Egil.
• Weapon Specialization: Vanea's weapon of choice is indeed a whip.

Linada

• The Medic: She's the healer of the team.

Alvis

• Innocently Insensitive: He accidentally upsets Egil by saying Arglas' death wasn't that big of a deal.
• What Is This Feeling?: Feels this hard when he mistakes feelings for Egil as a glitch in his system.

Kallian

• Big Brother Instinct: Has this hard with Tyrea.

Tyrea

• Fantastic Racism: Tyrea is still struggling with internalized racism against homs and half high entia.
• Happily Adopted: Eventually by Oka.
• Strong Family Resemblance: Kallian is able to recognize her as his sister simply because she looks so much like First Consort Yumea.
• Took a Level in Kindness: As the story progresses.

Oka

• Action Mom: Fights and is a mother to many littlepon.
• Catchphrase: Insists she has one, even if Kallian doesn't seem to believe so.
  Oka:It like Oka always say! Oka is happy to help you!
  Kallian: Huh? When do you say that, Oka? I can’t remember.
  Oka: O… Oka say it plenty! She swears!
• Team Mom: Considering she is an actual mom, it makes sense.
