Demona/Dominique Destine
]]Once she was Goliath's great love, now she is his greatest enemy. She will stop at nothing to destroy the human race leaving gargoyles the rulers of the Earth with her ruling the gargoyles. This pretty much makes her almost everyone on this character sheet's enemy... but she is always her own worst enemy.- The Aloner: Seeing nearly all of the Wyvern Clan slaughtered by the vikings, followed by decades of watching the remnants of her species being slaughtered by the Hunter and his human allies (often through her own fault, though she remains in denial about that), have left her completely, helplessly, maddeningly alone. Centuries of endless pursuit by the Canmore dynasty have made her even more bitter.
- Anti-Villain: Demo thinks she's a clear-cut Well-Intentioned Type, when she isn't. If anything, she's is tragic because of her own self-destructive tendencies more than anything, and being sympathetic does not excuse her crimes.
- The Apprentice: In her youth, to the Archmage.
- Arch-Enemy: Goliath, Brooklyn, Elisa, Broadway, Macbeth, Hunter... she practically collects them.
- The Atoner: What Brooklyn has strongly hinted she will be in the far future.
- Ax-Crazy: On occasion.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: Happens to her a lot.
- Beauty Is Bad: Very attractive, as well as untrustworthy, vicious, and quite possibly insane.
- Berserk Button: She's got an entire console of berserk buttons, although her hatred of Elisa is probably the newest and most reliable.
- Big Bad: She's the most recurring villain of the role play. Although she has shared the title with Mab, the Green Goblin, and Morgana le Fay.
- Boomerang Bigot: Played with a twist. She wants to Kill All Humans for nearly wiping out her species, but when she asks Puck to make her not turn to stone during the day (as gargoyles do), he grants her request by making her turn into a human from dawn to dusk every day. Notably, this doesn't stop her — instead, it just lets her find more ways of reaching her goals, since she can now blend in with her "enemies" undetected. She easily takes to human society and tools, such as human sorcery and technology, even before she gained her human transformation curse. She even owns her own freaking company (named Nightstone)! For all of her hatred towards humans, Demona fits in far more with human civilization than she does with her fellow gargoyles.
- Carry a Big Stick: Demona other weapon is a mace (the other being various laser rifles).
- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: She has ultimately betrayed just about every group she has ever worked with.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: As Dominique Destine.
- Cursed with Awesome: Twice. First when she's linked to Macbeth so neither can die except at the hand of the other. There is a fairly hefty downside, but still. Then, Puck gives her a parting "gift" of human form during the day. She's angry at first, but it's a big help for her nefarious plans.
- Cute Little Fangs
- The Cynic: Demona believes the worst in everyone.
- Dark Action Girl: Evil, seductive, and a very skilled warrior.
- Debt Detester
- Embarrassing Nickname: Spider-Man has nicknamed her "Moany."
- Even Bad Women Love Their Daughters Well, Angela. Her feelings for Cordelia were perfectly articulated with a particle beam blast to the chest.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: She clearly loves her (heroic) daughter Angela—but unfortunately, this just gives her more rationalization for Killing All Humans.
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Despite having been allies with Macbeth for nearly forty years, she had no trouble whatsoever believing that he would readily betray her and her clan for his own gain. The consequences of her reaction to this were, to say the least, devastating for all involved.
- Evil Counterpart: A pretty extreme example as she's one to Goliath, Elisa, and Angela.
- Evil Matriarch: She loves Angela so much, she's willing to kill humanity to protect her. Well, she was going to kill humanity anyway, but she really loves Angela.
- Evil Plan: The total and complete extinction of the human race.
- Evil Redhead: She's evil, and she's a redhead.
- Evil Sorceress: Another given; she's evil, and she's a sorceress.
- Face–Heel Turn: In her Back Story.
- Fallen Heroine
- Faux Affably Evil: On the rare occasion that she isn't a walking pile of seething, omnicidal rage.
- Fantastic Racism: She utterly despises humanity.
- Faux Affably Evil: On the rare occasion that she isn't a walking pile of seething, omnicidal rage.
- Femme Fatalons: Not just her gargoyle talons, but even as Dominique Destine, she files her fingernails into sharp points.
- Fiery Redhead: As hot-tempered as her hair color implies.
- For Want Of A Nail: Most of the main events of the story started because of her including the destruction of the clan at Castle Wyvern, the creation of The Hunter, and of course her own paranoia about humanity itself.
- Green-Eyed Monster: She still grudgingly carries feelings for Goliath, but characteristically this just means she tries to murder any hypotenuses that look Goliath's way, particularly Elisa Maza.
- Heel–Face Turn: According to Brooklyn, Demona is destined to have one and help save the world for humans and gargoyles alike. But it won't be for another two hundred years.
- Heel Realization: Has these several times, for a Big Bad. Unfortunately, she proves herself a grand champion at ignoring them.
- Hot Witch: She does have magical abilities after all.
- Humans Are the Real Monsters: Her strongest belief.
- Hypocrite: Demona sees herself as the self-proclaimed savior of her race, and that Goliath and those who stand with him will be the death of the race. Never mind the fact that she herself caused the birth of the Hunter, their generations, and indirectly the Quarrymen, whose sole purpose is to destroy they Gargoyles with extreme prejudice. And she had the gall to say Goliath with be the death of all of them? If anything, SHE was the one who nearly caused Gargoyle extinction.
- She claims that Goliath had been corrupted by humanity, yet Demona has, over the years, become more "human" than Goliath ever has.
- In Sanctuary, Demona and Thailog are lovers. Demona accuses Goliath of being jealous and paranoid of their love. In reality, Demona is jealous of Goliath's love with Elisa and is truly paranoiac herself.
- Ignored Epiphany: Demona lives and breathes this trope. Ignoring the truth behind all the death and destruction she has caused is probably the only way she can continue to function.
- Immortal Immaturity
- Kill All Humans: Her primary goal in life.
- Knight Templar: Subverted; she's convinced herself her cause is noble, but it's really just her lashing out at the world due to all the pain she's brought upon herself.
- Lady Macbeth: Taken to the nadir when the Weird Sisters trapped her and others inside their own magical production of Shakespeare's Macbeth where Demona was cast as Lady Macbeth.
- Living Forever Is Awesome: There is no deadline for her to exterminate humans. She can keep trying until Doom's Day.
- Magic Knight: She uses her powerful magic and formidable combat skills about evenly.
- Mama Bear
- Manipulative Bitch: Just ask Angela. Or ask Coco of the London Clan. Or ask Victoria Hand. Or ask Cordelia.
- Meaningful Name: Her alias "Dominique Destine" literally means "Divine Destiny."
- Also Macbeth gave her the name "Demona" because he said she fought like a demon.
- Ms Fan Service: One of the most attractive females in the cast, and not especially shy about it.
- My God, What Have I... What Have THEY Done?: She came close to this but then dismissed it.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Demona the demon.
- Never My Fault: Employed in a very serious fashion. If there is one defining character flaw for Demona, this is it. Most of her troubles and emotional agonies are entirely her fault, and her refusal to admit any responsibility on her part is the basis for her bitterness AND her racism, all of which she formed mostly to avoid the overwhelming guilt she would feel.
- Painful Transformation: Her shift to human during the day and back again.
- Psycho Ex-Girlfriend: Psycho ex-mate to Goliath, although it's more justified with Thailog.
- Removed Achilles' Heel: Demona doesn't turn into stone during the day, unlike the other gargoyles. During the day she's human.
- Revenge by Proxy: "Their descendants shall pay. I will have blood for blood!"
- Secret Identity: As Dominique Destine, she conceals her true self.
- The Unfettered: Nothing is sacred for Demona, and no-one, with the possible exception of Angela, is not expendable in her quest to eradicate humanity.
- Unholy Matrimony: With Thailog, once upon a time.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: She was a Nice Girl, who was constantly mistreated by humanity which resulted in her present state.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Demona started out this way, before descending to Knight Templar and finally to revenge-obsessed whacko who only thinks she is in the right because it is what she has been telling herself every night for the last millennium.
- When She Smiles: She actually has a really beautiful genuine smile, which is rarely ever seen because of her malicious nature.
- With Us or Against Us: "If you are not my ally, then you are my enemy."
- When She Smiles: She actually has a really beautiful genuine smile, which is rarely ever seen because of her malicious nature.
- Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Sometimes it's hard not to feel sorry for her.
- Woman Scorned: At least from her point of view...
- Would Hurt a Child
- You Are What You Hate: Whenever the sun is up, at least.
- You Need to Get Laid: According to Word of God, it's one of the reasons (in a very long list) why Demona is very bitter.
Thailog/Alexander Thailog
Goliath's clone, designed to combine his physical attributes with Xanatos' intelligence and ruthlessness.- Badass: Outsmarting Xanatos certainly qualifies him.

- The Chessmaster
- Corrupt Corporate Executive
- Evil Counterpart: To both Goliath and Xanatos.
- Evil Laugh

- Gone Horribly Right: Xanatos wanted someone who was as powerful as Goliath but shared his own, profit-oriented, worldview. Because that couldn't possibly backfire.
- The Illuminati: A Thirty-Five.
- Karma Houdini
- Large Ham: He probably gets it from Sevarius, and similarly plays up his performances when he deems the scene appropriate for it. Described by Weisman as "a bit of a performer," the things he says can't necessarily be taken at face value. On the other hand, like Demona, he can be chillingly cold when he wants to be.
- Laughably Evil: Unlike Xanatos, Thailog has no redeeming qualities, and yet still manages to be highly entertaining.

- Unholy Matrimony: With Demona until he betrayed her.
- Wicked Cultured: Took the first name "Alexander" when indirectly posing as a reclusive financial wizard after Alexander the Great, for whom he harbors admiration. He takes this a step further by lounging in a toga.
