Protagonists
Iris (Pokémon)
Iris
Voiced by: Luci Christian
"I guess I've adopted more of a punk-rock Goth aesthetic as of late."
A young girl from Unova who specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon and became Unova's newest champion. More recently she has gotten into a variety of rock and metal music genres and adopted a new look to align with her new interests.- Badass Adorable: She's adorable, and she's also a capable fighter both as a Pokémon trainer and as a martial artist.
- Berserk Button: People somehow claiming that she's afraid of Ice-type Pokémon like her anime counterpart was. She's not afraid of Ice-types, or any Pokémon type, for that matter.
- Beware the Nice Ones: She's just as nice as her game counterpart, but she's a capable physical fighter as well as a skilled Pokémon trainer, having trained herself in various martial arts styles such as karate and taekwondo.
- Crazy-Prepared: She's always coming up with strategies for fighting opponents in Pokemon battles. For Fairy and Ice-type Pokemon being used by opponents, a lot of her Dragon-type Pokemon can use Steel-type moves such as Flash Cannon and Iron Head to deal with them.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Despite adopting an aesthetically darker style, she's still very nice.
- Genius Bruiser: In addition to becoming much stronger in terms of physical prowess, she's also incredibly intelligent and skilled in various sciences and mathematics.
- Goth: She's adopted this style as of late.
- Metalhead: She's become one upon gaining interests in rock and metal music.
- Nice Girl: Just like her original game counterpart, she's very kind and caring for others.
- Took a Level in Badass: In addition to getting more skilled as a Pokémon champion, she also has trained in different martial arts styles, such as karate and taekwondo, in order to become more of a physical fighter herself.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She's afraid of people being burned alive in closed containers in horror movies. She also gets squeamish around Flaying Alive death scenes.
Mina Ashido
Mina Ashido
Voiced by: Rachael MacFarlane
"There's a difference between acting cheerful and actually BEING cheerful, you know. I wish I was the latter all the time, but that's not how the world works! Wake up! This is reality!"
A Japanese student with an "Acid" Quirk, that gives her a unique pink appearance and the ability to produce acid through her skin. Although she appears plucky and cheerful like her canon counterpart, she hides a darker, more feisty and jerkish side underneath the happy exterior. However, she's by no means a bad person.- Acid Attack: She has this as her Quirk, and can use it like her canon counterpart for both shielding ranged and melee attacks. However, she acknowledges that it, like all other Quirks, has its own limits, and thus she often resorts to other techniques to help win battles.
- Adaptational Jerkass: Unlike her canon counterpart who is a straight-up Nice Girl, Mina here is somewhat more of a jerk, as she often is arrogant, bitter, harsh and blunt, and doesn't mince words when dishing out criticisms to friend or foe alike. However, she means well and is otherwise generally affable.
- Anti-Hero: Although she's a jerk and isn't afraid to fight dirty, she retains the strong moral compass of her canon counterpart.
- Arrogant Kung-Fu Girl: She's the most knowledgeable and skilled in her class about battle techniques, and isn't afraid to boast about these skills.
- Book Dumb: Like her canon counterpart, she is lacking in comparison to her friends when it comes to overall intelligence. Unlike her canon counterpart, however, she deeply resents this fact and does everything she can to defy it, including studying overtime and taking classwork seriously, to the point that she often only lags behind in math and physics. This trope is also inverted with regards to her knowledge in battle tactics and strategy, history, and biology, where she even exceeds Momo Yaoyorozu in that regard.
- Break the Haughty: Occasionally her jerkish attitude breaks down when she's outsmarted or her plans for success fall apart.
- Brutal Honesty: She believes that true friends must tell the truth, even if it hurts.
- Card-Carrying Jerkass: "I admit it, I can be a jerk sometimes. Nothing wrong with that."
- Combat Pragmatist: Mina prefers to take the most efficient option to success, and that includes fighting dirty in combat against opponents.
- Contralto Of Danger: Courtesy of Rachael MacFarlane.
- The Cynic: Not apparent at first glance, but it soon becomes apparent that her cheerful exterior reveals a more, comically pessimistic personality. She claims to be a "realist" but it's obvious she's just using a different word to describe her negative outlook on the world around her.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Like her canon counterpart, she encountered the infamous villain Gigantomachia at her school, protecting her friends by diverting him away from them. Due to this traumatic experience, she's become more of a cynical jerk over the years.
- Deadpan Snarker: Due to her jaded outlook on the world as a whole, she often makes sarcastic quips and comments about everything around her.
- Genius Bruiser: While Book Dumb in overly-technical areas such as math and physics, she excels in tactical strategies, history, and biology, and even won first prize for an annual chess competition.
- Good Feels Good: Her motivation for helping others.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Sometimes she gets easily annoyed if people fail to understand or listen to her.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Even though she can be harsh and blunt with her criticisms, she's usually correct about them and she means well.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Harsh criticisms and sarcastic comments aside, she's genuinely affable to people, especially her friends, and always tries to help out.
- Knight in Sour Armor: Despite her pessimism regarding the world around her, she always lends out a helping hand to those in need.
- The Lad-ette: Somewhat, though it's more downplayed.
- Master Actress: A heroic example, as she can become perfectly in-character as someone else. It's especially noticeable when she cosplays as someone else, as she basically becomes them in terms of personality and mannerisms.
- Metalhead: She loves Heavy Metal music, and loves to listen to it both online and at concerts. Heavy Metal and other forms of rock music bring a genuine smile to her face.
- Method Acting: Does this a lot, both for her cosplays and for her roles in theater and movie acting.
- Nightmare Fetishist: She loves horror movies and watches them every day. She even has several posters of them in her room.
- Only Sane Woman: She tends to be this in comparison to her friends.
- Smug Super: "I'm probably better than you in that skill, no offense."
- Stepford Smiler: Her cheery exterior is more often than not a facade that reveals a more grumpy, disappointed personality.
- Stepford Snarker: She often uses sarcasm as a way to deal with her negative emotions.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: She started out like her canon counterpart in terms of personality until she encountered the villain Gigantomachia during her middle school years. This traumatizing event has caused her to become more jaded and cynical towards the world in general.
Marnie (Pokémon)
Marnie
Voiced by: Colleen Clinkenbeard
"Man, sound-design trailer tracks sound really intense and cool. I wish record labels composed more of them instead of the orchestral stuff we've been getting in the past year or two."
A Pokémon trainer and Dark-type specialist from the Galar region. She often performs music with her older brother Piers in concerts. Lately, she has been trying to get into composing digital music (especially sound-design trailer music), with varying success.- All-Loving Hero: She tends to be kind to everyone she meets, and always makes an effort to help others in need.
- Berserk Button: She doesn't really like the prevalence of orchestral trailer music exceeding that of sound-design suspense trailer music in recent years, and she's often upset about how record labels and studios are producing less and less sound-design content than in the past.
Marnie: [annoyed] What's really annoying about the current trends in composing trailer music is that orchestral albums seem to be overtaking their sound-design thriller counterparts in both popularity and size. Nowadays I'm seeing numerous orchestral albums being released with around 30 tracks or more, while the exceedingly rare sound-design albums I find only have 20 tracks or less! A few years ago, most sound-design albums had 30 or more tracks, with some having around 40 or even 50! It's like a 180-degree turn!
- Beware the Nice Ones: If she gets angry, she definitely isn't above using her Pokémon's moves on those who have wronged her.
- Born Unlucky: She certainly thinks that this is the case for her, based on her numerous experiences with failure in her projects and endeavors.
- Break the Cutie: A lot of her goals and wishes end up backfiring on her in the worst way possible, and she can never seem to catch a break. This has taken a toll on her emotional state at times.
- Butt-Monkey: She often suffers the worst in her group of friends, and has experienced failure so many times in her projects and hobbies that she's lost count.
- The Conscience: She always makes her best effort to be the moral compass of her friends.
- The Chew Toy: Sometimes her unlucky predicaments are Played for Laughs.
- Dark Is Not Evil: She specializes in Dark-type Pokemon and wears dark-colored clothes, but is the most friendly of her group of friends.
- Ditzy Genius: She has an IQ of 150, and she is knowledgeable in math, physics, and other fields of science, but her social skills are a bit... unrefined.
- Heroic Self-Deprecation: She tends to be unable to think highly of herself, believing that she often causes too much trouble for her friends.
- Ideal Hero: She certainly fits the bill as someone who always tries to help others and serve as a role model for others to follow.
- It's All My Fault: When something goes wrong, she often panics and apologizes for the situation, even though she never causes it.
- Jerkass Ball: Tends to grab it when talking about sound-design music versus orchestral music, as she gets very passionate when proclaiming why she believes that sound-design music sounds better than orchestral music.
- Metalhead: Like Mina Ashido, she enjoys Heavy Metal music. Some of her inspirations for composing sound-design trailer music come from Heavy Metal.
- Nice Girl: She's generally friendly and kind to everyone she meets, and always tries to engage in interesting conversations with others.
- Only Sane Woman: Fills this role alongside her friend Mina Ashido, though Marnie herself seems to be the more sane one.
- Previews Pulse: She's been trying to get into composing these type of sounds for sound-design suspense trailer music tracks, but she doesn't think that she's been that successful in that regard.
- Prone to Tears: She often cries a lot when she experiences failure or some other mishap, which unfortunately is quite often for her.
- The Smart Girl: She's easily one of the smartest members in her group of friends, with her knowledge of music, mathematics, physics and chemistry.
- So Bad, It's Good: She really loves these kinds of movies. In particular, she's a huge fan of Tommy Wiseau's The Room (2003) and even dresses up as Johnny once in a while.

"Can you guys keep it down? I'm trying to study here."
A girl from the Alola region who recently started her journey as a Pokemon Trainer. She also likes to study a lot and can get quite annoyed if her study is interrupted.- Academic Alpha Bitch: Somewhat, as she takes her studying and work very seriously, and gets annoyed easily if other people don't.
- Adaptational Jerkass: Downplayed, but she's somewhat more arrogant and smug than her canon counterpart, though not to the extent of Mina Ashido. She's still an All-Loving Hero though.
- Berserk Button: Anyone interrupting her study will face her furious wrath.
- Break the Haughty: If she acts too insufferable or smug in comparison to her usual self, chances are she will get some comedic Laser-Guided Karma.
- Insufferable Genius: She's quite proud of her scientific prowess and can sometimes be harsh with others if they get on her nerves.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She can be a bit of a jerk but she always cares for other people and tries to help them whenever she can.
- The Smart Girl: She's very smart when it comes to biology, physics, mathematics and other fields.
Pacifica Northwest
Pacifica Northwest
Voiced by: Stephanie Sheh
"Sometimes we have to let go of our past mistakes and focus on the future."
A girl from a family of Upper-Class Twits, who now is very much the outlier among them: an honest, gentle and kind person who advocates for a better future.- Became Their Own Antithesis: Inverted, as while she used to be a Spoiled Brat Alpha Bitch, she's now a gentle person who puts other people's needs first.
- Fangirl: She really loves Julia Roberts and her movies, for some reason. She also loves Romantic Comedies in general, along with the actors that star in them.
- Granola Girl: Since her turn to social activism, she definitely fits the bill, doing things such as advocating for animals' rights and saving the environment.
- Heroic Self-Deprecation: She often doesn't think highly of herself considering she used to be a jerk in the past; this has taken a massive toll on her self-esteem.
- I Hate Past Me: She really hates the fact that she used to be as spoiled and stuck-up as her family, and feels guilty when reflecting on her jerkish behavior in the past.
- Nice Girl: She's always trying to help out others whenever she can.
- Rich Kid Turned Social Activist: Pacifica now has found a hobby in progressive activism, helping the poor and helpless and advocating for socioeconomic reforms.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Continuing her Character Development from her show, she eventually lost every single one of her jerkish attributes.
Penny (Pokémon)
Penny
Voiced by: Erica Mendez
"Sometimes we need to use technology to protect nature."
A girl from the Paldea region who's very tech oriented. Recently she has been visiting tropical biomes such as rainforests in order to study the wildlife there as a Pokémon researcher.- Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: One of her jungle outfits fits this trope.
- Berserk Button: She really despises Evil Poachers and Egomaniac Hunters, in addition to anti-environmental corporations.
- Deadpan Snarker: Still a bit snarky, but more of a playful kind of snark now.
- Fangirl: She really loves the Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially Black Panther (2018) and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, so much so that she wants Black Panther 3 to be announced soon. She also likes Kimba the White Lion.
- Jungle Princess: She deliberately invokes this with one of her jungle outfits.
- Nature Lover: She admits to loving nature and wild creatures a lot, being able to socialize with them more easily than other people.
- Nice Girl: Since visiting the rainforest, she has become far more gentle and amiable and lost most of her jerkish traits from the past.

Antagonists
Einram
Einram
Voiced by: Colleen Clinkenbeard
"Look at these wonderful friends you have. Too bad they'll be the last friends you'll ever make."
An evil clone of Marnie.- Ax-Crazy: Big time. Her violent rampages are not pretty, to say the least.
- Berserk Button: Being compared with Marnie in any way is a really good way to get her angry.
- Card-Carrying Villain: Lives to cause violence, chaos, and despair.
-
Chaotic Evil: With her Ax-Crazy nature, goals of causing chaos, violence and destruction out of pure sadism, she definitely qualifies. - Dark Action Girl: She's an evil clone who's capable of dishing out deadly violence.
- Dark Is Evil: In contrast to her original, good counterpart, she is very much this.
- Evil Doppelgänger: She was originally cloned from a strand of Marnie's hair that somehow ended up in Stewie Griffin's cloning machine.
- Evil Genius: She inherited Marnie's high intelligence and affinity for science, but uses them for nefarious goals.
- Faux Affably Evil: Is capable of acting like the original Marnie's Nice Girl personality, but has no conscience or empathy even while doing so and will kill anyone standing in her way even while maintaining this act.
- For the Evulz: Pretty much her entire modus operandi.
- Kick the Dog: Every act of violence she commits, purely out of sheer sadism.
- Knight of Cerebus: Aside from moments of Black Comedy, Einram is taken completely seriously as a monstrous psychopath, and darkens the tone of the story when she shows up.
- Lack of Empathy: Cares for no one but herself.
- Lightning Bruiser: She's very swift and agile, capable of tanking damage without much effort, and is very deadly to her opponents.

- Sadist: She takes great joy in causing suffering to innocents, just because she can.
- Slasher Smile: Her perpetual expression.
- The Sociopath: Very much so, as she doesn't care about causing chaos, violence and destruction, all of which she does out of pure wanton cruelty, and she absolutely shows no remorse for her actions.
- Teens Are Monsters: As an evil clone of the good-hearted Marnie, she lives up to the "monster" part.

Proof-of-concept trailer music album covers
This folder contains some of the proof-of-concept covers I did for hypothetical (as in yet-to-be-produced) trailer music albums, particularly sound-design (non-orchestral) album covers. I was motivated to work on these due to noticing a recent surge of orchestral trailer music being produced in recent years, in contrast to sound-design music which apparently has become less prevalent for some reason.
