- Alice, a mortal, wants to become magical and immortal.
- Alix'sonn, a powerful demon, wants to increase in power enough to make the last few steps to true godhood.
- Justified: Alice has a serious Mortality Phobia, and becoming a goddess would make her immortal.
- Inverted: Alitheia, a goddess, wants to become a mortal woman.
- Subverted: It turns out that Alice's supervillain monologues about godlike power were just a bombastic way to talk about her plans to make the world grovel at her feet.
- Double Subverted: But now that the heroes have gotten the idea in her head, what the hell, she might as well go for it.
