To ensure that no one could destroy it, the Asylum corrupted various gods to ensure its safety. All of them met gruesome ends in the story.
- Corrupt the Cutie: Like the Proxy before them, the asylum twists them by using their desires in order to gain guards.
Jaune Arc (RWBY)
Leader of team JNPR, whose curiosity got the best of him, transforming him into a guard of the asylum.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He's still mourning the death of Pyrrha and hopes that the asylum's power will help her "sleep in peace".
- More than Mind Control: He willingly allowed himself to be corrupted so that he could use Sora's Undead Uprising to avenge Pyrrha.
Seth Rollins (WWE)
A member of the illustrious wrestling stable, The Shield, he and his partners were guarding the asylum before his corruption. He later turned Heel at the end of The Friendship Asylum before realizing that he was horrible and teams up with BROKEN Matt to stop the darkness within Limbo in Through Darkness and Mirrors.
- Easily Forgiven: Subverted for Rollins; neither Ambrose nor Reigns (particularly Ambrose) are willing to let bygones be bygones, and Rollins realizes this. He's last seen preparing on his own journey to redeem himself.
- Face–Heel Turn: Seth Rollins betrayed his partners during the epilogue of The Friendship Asylum as confirmed by Edge (this also happened in real life when the story was conceived)
- Heel Realization: Gets this inbetween stories and realizes that he's been a horrible person and resolves to redeem himself.
- Neck Snap: Rollins gets this courtesy of Belial in The Friendship Asylum.
Jason Brody (Far Cry 3)
A young man struggling to survive the horrors of Rook Island, he personally enters the asylum to do what a certain vampire wrestler couldn't—save the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
- Foil: He's Gangrel's. The two both have soft spots for the Crusaders, but Brody is a Mysterious Protector for the girls, compared to Gangrel interacting with them on a daily basis. Brody is trying to look for a purpose in life, while 'Grel himself has no backstory to his own. Brody is around college age while Gangrel is in his late '40s. Also, since he directly avoids the trauma of the final story, he ends up mentally stable in contrast to the poor wrestler.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Gets stabbed in the heart by Nebiros' trident.
- It's Personal: Like Gangrel below him, he has a bone to pick with the Proxy for what happened to the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
- Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Fitting his "Snow White" moniker, he gains hair black as a raven and skin white as snow when the asylum taints him.
Ash Ketchum (Pokémon)
A trainer who wants to be the best like no one ever was. Unfortunately, not even he was safe from the asylum's will.
- The Atoner: While corrupted, Ash helped kidnap Riku. Upon purification, Ash states he will stay by the Keyblade Master for the time being to atone for the kidnapping and nasal cannula. Riku is not pleased about this.
- Black-and-White Morality: Ash believes this is the case with the conflict between the Pantheon and the Darkness Proxy, which is more of a Morality Kitchen Sink at best, or a Black-and-Grey Morality at worst. Also, Ash has this view in general as a side-affect of being unable to age, learn, or advance, as shown in Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction.
- Blessed with Suck: Ash can't age, effectively making him immortal. He's also a talented trainer with connections to most of the Pokémon in the pantheon. Unfortunately, he and Pikachu are trapped in a status quo that makes it impossible to win leagues, learn new things, or remember past events. And Pikachu always gets reset to Level 5 in new regions. Auron lampshades this when the TRAP is founded, as this means the asylum can't corrupt Ash completely when the status quo controls his life.
- Creepy Child: His personality warps into this when the asylum corrupts him.
- Empowered Badass Normal: While corrupted by the asylum, his aura powers are multiplied tenfold, making him able to unleash various Aura Spheres without pause.
- Idiot Hero: A side-affect of his inability to grow up or learn. It reached the point where he can't tell the difference between Keyblade Master or Pokémon Master, and mistakes Riku's Komory Bat for a Crobat in spite of Brock having a Crobat. It is no wonder Riku didn't want Ash around when Sora is kidnapped.
- Ignorance Is Bliss: For all the flak he gets for never growing up, perhaps it's better off if he didn't remember what he went through in the final story. For reference he gets swapped with his Mirror Counterpart, is chased off by Limbo, and learns that a nice and creepy looking circus tent is sentient and has disfigured and broken many Mirror Gods and that those gods are about to be massacred by three little ponies, not to mention all of the souls of Limbo dying off and seeing his own counterpart begging to be saved.
- Kamehame Hadoken: His Aura Spheres. Heck he even shouts the first half of the Trope Namer when he unleashes them!
- Never Grew Up: Him being 10 forever is lampshaded several times.
- No-Respect Guy: He's looked down by people who are not affected by the status quo because they know he'll forget all of his adventures in the pantheon, and thus, they can't do anything with him without having to reintroduce themselves every day.
- Older Than They Look: Ash will always be 10, but because the anime debuted in April 1997, his year of birth is 1986note . Riku even points out that Ash is older than him and his friends, even though he is 18 while Sora and Kairi are 17note .
