* In ''ComicBook/TheSandman'', the main characters are "The Endless", a family of seven anthropomorphic personifications of universal concepts, around whom much of the series revolves. From eldest to youngest, they are Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair, and Delirium ([[GoMadFromTheRevelation formerly]] Delight). Also, various other gods, demigods, angels, fallen angels, demons and other creatures from diverse mythologies are represented in this comic book series by Creator/NeilGaiman.

--> ''You are utterly the stupidest, most self-centered, appallingest excuse for an anthropomorphic personification on this or any other plane! […] I don’t believe this Dream, you’re as bad as, as – as Desire!''

* The cast of the ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' series consists of personifications of game consoles, videogame companies and videogame franchises. Villains also often personify some videogame-related concept, such as digital piracy. This isn't present for all sides of the console wars, however: the PC nation has none due to there being so solid console for PC gaming (the closest they've got to one is the [[Anime/HyperdimensionNeptunia anime universe's]] Setag), while mobile gaming is presented as something everyone does rather than an aspect of who anyone is.

* The cast of ''Animation/AstroLOLogy'' consists of the animals of the WesternZodiac, in humanoid forms, with personalities that supposedly fit those of the people who are born under their respective constellations (so, for example, Leo is prideful while Pisces has a creative flair).

* Most of the transdimensional aliens from ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital'' are "conceptoids," who are an embodiment of, well, a concept. Chip, for example, is a SoulSuckingRetailJob represented by a nervous young man wearing a Starbucks uniform, with a cup of coffee [[SurrealSymbolicHeads for a head]]. Another, Maggie, is quite literally ''infestation itself'', which manifests as a CuteWitch and a vast, sentient maggot colony at different points in the story.

* ''VideoGame/ToukenRanbu'' has you as a time-traveling sage gathering various Japanese swords and give them life and human forms - [[{{Bishounen}} as pretty boys]], that is. Specifically, they're the swords used by various historical Japanese figures, such as Okita Souji or Oda Nobunaga, and brings with them characteristics and history of each swords in question (along with their former owners). Unlike [=KanColle=] above (both this and that game are made by DMM), this game explains how they came to be.
* ''VideoGame/WarshipGirls'' is pretty much the Chinese's [[FollowTheLeader response]] to ''[=KanColle=]'' above, as it also features personified UsefulNotes/WorldWarII warships, in form of girls. The difference is that they featured ships of multiple countries right off the bat as opposed to just the IJN.

* ''WebVideo/{{Jreg}}'' videos usually deal with personifications of different political ideologies from all across the political spectrum. The "Centricide" series [[DirtyCommies has]] [[ThoseWackyNazis the]] [[BombThrowingAnarchists four]] [[PrivatelyOwnedSociety extremes]] of the political compass [[EnemyMine put aside their differences]] to fight off a group of centrist ideologies, as their leader Jreg regards them as an example of the GoldenMeanFallacy and getting in the way of progress.

* ''Music/{{Tsukiuta}}'' is the months of the year as idols. There's a boy and a girl for each month. Their parent agency, Music/{{Tsukipro}}, has groups based on the elements (fire, earth, air, water) and on birthstones, also including a group that's a bunch of personifications kf Glico brand sweets.

* ''VideoGame/KantaiCollection'' is a game where you as an [[NonEntityGeneral Admiral]] gather and organize "fleet girls" (''kanmusu''), warships that take form of girls, in a war against horrors of the sea, called the "Abyssal Fleet". Specifically, the fleet girls personify ships that took part in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, and bring with them the characteristics and history of each ship in question. At first the ships are taken from the Imperial Japanese Navy, but later updates give us ships from Germany and Italy, and even later ones give us ships from the Allies' side as well.

* ''VideoGame/FoodFantasy'' is a mobile game in which you summon Food Souls- personified food- to battle Fallen Angels and manage restaurants. The Food Souls are said to be spirits that inhabited the food, and have ver human-like appearances. Foods from around the world are personified.

* ''VideoGame/DiscoElysium'' does this with the PlayerCharacter's skills. As skill points are invested into the skills, they start manifesting as voices inside his head and essentially becomes party members in their own right, chiming in with advice, their own opinions, conflicting desires, and even personal sidequests as you encounter different situations. You banter back and forth with them throughout the game, even stopping in mid-conversation with other people to hear them out or argue with them. Interestingly, skills can also become too strong if too many points are invested in them. What begins as advice can eventually become a compulsion, restricting what dialogue options you can choose in certain circumstances or just becoming overbearingly loud compared to the other skills.

* The ''[[http://www.helloruby.com/ Hello Ruby]]'' series by Linda Luikas, meant to introduce young children to [[UsefulNotes/ProgrammingLanguage programming]] and computer science, features many real-world programming languages and software as typical storybook characters.
