''The Unyielding Plasma Sentinels'' is a (as of yet not real) series of video games styled as a sendup of 1980s and 1990s action cartoons, as well as [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age comics]].
On a distant vaguely-Earthlike planet in an alien-yet-familiar society, the first and last line of defense against threats who would conquer and corrupt it are the [[ProtagonistTitle Plasma Sentinels]], a team of warriors and their allies with strange properties armed with experimental weapons and gadgetry.
! Tropes pertaining to the nonexistent series as a whole:
! Tropes pertaining to specific characters:
[[foldercontrol]]
!! Heroic Factions
[[folder:Task Force ST001 "Plasma Sentinels"]]
* SuperTeam: Three of the four members showcase extraordinary abilities and/or are themselves unusual. The fourth member, while not explicitly "superpowered", is still an impressive genius.
!! Ouroboros
* {{Determinator}}: Really this trope can be said for the entirety of the team, but Ouroboros ''especially''.
* LivingForeverIsAwesome: At least, that's his view on his situation. Eternity to him means he'll be able to protect those who can't protect themselves, and that he'll always be around to keep the world on track.
* ThePollyanna: It's extremely tough to actually break this guy's spirits. Even when he's in horrible pain from his myriad deaths and on the brink of defeat, Ouro still keeps up his optimistic outlook and keeps fighting.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Ouro's main claim to fame is that he just won't stay dead - and his resurrective ability kicks in pretty quickly, too. Doesn't do anything about nonlethal incapacitation, though.
!! Equinox
* GoodOldFisticuffs: To be fair, when you're able to dramatically amplify your own kinetic energy, punching things starts getting a lot more practical.
* PowerOfTheVoid: Equinox's energy manipulation abilities allow him to tap into the [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds Hyper Zone]], the void of infinite chaos between universes. Not only does this allow him to [[ArtisticLicensePhysics casually tell the Law of Conservation of Energy to sod off]], but it's what gives him his sheer strength.
* SuperpowerMeltdown: Too much storing or drawing of Hyper Zone energy ''will'' start taking a [[OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank bloody toll]] on his physical body, requiring him to limit himself. In absolutely desperate cases (or when he gets too cocky for his own good) he'll throw this to the wayside.
!! Tomahawk
* ActionGirl
* [[MadeOfIron Made of Carbon Nanotubes]]: The tankiest of the Sentinels, befitting of her status as a robot.
!! Phoenix
* CrimefightingWithCash: Phoenix and his manufacturing company are one of the main sources of income for TACTICS.
* MissionControl: Typically commands the Sentinels from an area in close proximity or from the skies.
* ReedRichardsIsUseless: Type 8 with some Type 5 when it comes to his weapons. Phoenix's goals outside of "save the world from devastation" involve solving problems affecting the world.

!! The Sunsetter
* AffablyEvil: He's actually fairly nice to the Plasma Sentinels, all things considered, and he'd rather have them as allies as opposed to enemies. However, their disagreement with his view that UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans means he can't take any chances with them.
* BigBad: One major part of the BigBadEnsemble.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: The Sunsetter's goal is to TakeOverTheWorld by brute force, and then instill a new order without the influences that have left people like himself and his cult in dire straits, as well as tackling the concept of "organic obsolecence" by forcibly integrating everyone with machinery.

* BloodKnight: Rivals just about every other blood knight in the series.

On a distant vaguely-Earthlike planet in an alien-yet-familiar society, the first and last line of defense against threats who would conquer and corrupt it are the [[ProtagonistTitle Plasma Sentinels]], a team of warriors and their allies with strange properties armed with experimental weapons and gadgetry.
! Tropes pertaining to the nonexistent series as a whole:
! Tropes pertaining to specific characters:
[[foldercontrol]]
!! Heroic Factions
[[folder:Task Force ST001 "Plasma Sentinels"]]
* SuperTeam: Three of the four members showcase extraordinary abilities and/or are themselves unusual. The fourth member, while not explicitly "superpowered", is still an impressive genius.
!! Ouroboros
* {{Determinator}}: Really this trope can be said for the entirety of the team, but Ouroboros ''especially''.
* LivingForeverIsAwesome: At least, that's his view on his situation. Eternity to him means he'll be able to protect those who can't protect themselves, and that he'll always be around to keep the world on track.
* ThePollyanna: It's extremely tough to actually break this guy's spirits. Even when he's in horrible pain from his myriad deaths and on the brink of defeat, Ouro still keeps up his optimistic outlook and keeps fighting.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Ouro's main claim to fame is that he just won't stay dead - and his resurrective ability kicks in pretty quickly, too. Doesn't do anything about nonlethal incapacitation, though.
!! Equinox
* GoodOldFisticuffs: To be fair, when you're able to dramatically amplify your own kinetic energy, punching things starts getting a lot more practical.
* PowerOfTheVoid: Equinox's energy manipulation abilities allow him to tap into the [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds Hyper Zone]], the void of infinite chaos between universes. Not only does this allow him to [[ArtisticLicensePhysics casually tell the Law of Conservation of Energy to sod off]], but it's what gives him his sheer strength.
* SuperpowerMeltdown: Too much storing or drawing of Hyper Zone energy ''will'' start taking a [[OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank bloody toll]] on his physical body, requiring him to limit himself. In absolutely desperate cases (or when he gets too cocky for his own good) he'll throw this to the wayside.
!! Tomahawk
* ActionGirl
* [[MadeOfIron Made of Carbon Nanotubes]]: The tankiest of the Sentinels, befitting of her status as a robot.
!! Phoenix
* CrimefightingWithCash: Phoenix and his manufacturing company are one of the main sources of income for TACTICS.
* MissionControl: Typically commands the Sentinels from an area in close proximity or from the skies.
* ReedRichardsIsUseless: Type 8 with some Type 5 when it comes to his weapons. Phoenix's goals outside of "save the world from devastation" involve solving problems affecting the world.
