These are some characters I came up with. The weirdness of the world is very [[WidgetSeries widgety.]]
[[foldercontrol]]
! The Cast (There are more Alliancers, I’m just focusing on these 7 to keep the page small)
!! In General:
* AsianAndNerdy: Most of them are Hongkongers, who likes TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons and reading, among other stuff. The ones that AREN’T Hongkongers still have very specific interests. (Not studying. As an Alliancer may say, “Reading is fun when you’re not forcing yourself to memorise the contents.”)
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: How Alliancers are recruited - Being nice to a member, or repaying a favour from a member.
* BerserkButton: No, the Alliance is NOT a [[HaremGenre harem.]] You will receive a shoe cannon to the face.
* TheBerserker: When they fight, they go all out. Best seen in Lily, who can catch a nuke and throw it away with her bare hands in such a state.
* BloodKnight: They all like fighting, especially big group ones.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Their ideas of solving problems usually involves fighting, traps that can injure people, or blasting the problem with magic.
* CastFullOfCrazy: A bunch of quirky people.
* CloudCuckooLander: IN SHOVELS.
* CuteBruiser or BadassAdorable: All have their own ways to be cute and all have powerful fighting styles.
** GeniusBruiser: They have TACT.
* DarkMagicalGirl: More of an umbrella term as the group is mixed-gender but most of them are magic users and most of them have issues.
* DysfunctionJunction: Everyone has issues.
* ExtravertedNerd: Most members are quite outgoing and sociable.
* FourthWallObserver: A perk of being in the Alliance. Some have more powers than others, like being aware that the Player and the Player Character are separate entities, but it is never PlayedForHorror. They may make jokes about it or just not bother with it.
* KillerRabbit: Normal and unassuming looking… Until you anger them.
* NeverBeHurtAgain: The reason they came together.
* ObfuscatingStupidity and ObfuscatingInsanity: Most are very intelligent and plotting beneath layers of craziness.
* PoweredByAForsakenChild: Taken literally - They are the rejects (forsaken ones), and they can power machines using the energy of resentment they have. Even the nicer ones have this energy in them.
* ProudToBeAGeek: They all have geeky/nerdy/otaku interests and won’t let you insult them. (In fact, using “weeb” as an insult will lead to a beatdown.)
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: A bunch of rejects, outcasts and “weird kids” grouping together, looking out for one another.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: A mixed-gender group that beats each other up at times.
* StrongerThanTheyLook and PintSizedPowerhouse: Most look normal but is capable of great strength feats, like Sylvia ripping steel with her bare hands without thinking.
* TrueCompanions: The largeness means that they can be TheFriendsWhoNeverHang but they look out for one another.
[[folder:Cap]]
!!”Cap” (隊長)
!!! Nicknames: Only allows others to call him Cap. Anything else is interpreted as MaliciousMisnaming.
!!! Symbol: An upside down hexagonal arrow with a two swords in it.
!!! “Only wants to be accepted. A lot of measures are taken.” -The Handbook
My AuthorAvatar.
!! Tropes:
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer and BullyMagnet: Gets picked on for no reason, a lot. (“I have been wronged by my creations! I am a disgrace of an Ancient.”)
* AuthorAvatar: It’s all over the place. (“It’s me and me!”)
* BerserkButton: So many.
** Nicknames. They’re basically MaliciousMisnaming to him. (“Call me Cap only.”)
** Repeatedly annoying him. It’s basically bullying. (“There’s this really annoying guy who doesn’t understand why I hate him.”)
** Forcing him to socialise even if he rejects the offer. Ties to the above. (“Don’t.”)
** Cyberstalking him. It’s bad enough already, but especially horrible if you’re cyberstalking him for criticising your morally wrong actions. (“I get cancelled over a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} SKORUPI.]] These people are psychos.”)
** If he’s running away from you or just running, DON’T ENCOURAGE HIM TO RUN. It is seen as a threat. (“I will spit Eldritch Matter with such force that you’ll take damage both physically and mentally!”)
* {{Catchphrase}}: “Apparently”, “I guess”, “Or something”, “Leave me alone!”
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: While heroic, he has weird standards. (“Hey, Ancient minds are hard to comprehend using human morals.”)
* CluelessChickMagnet: Zigzagged. He notices that he can socialise with girls better than boys, but doesn’t make too big a deal over it. (“It’s because my alien social skills can lead to trouble.”)
* CrossoverCosmology: He’s buddies with ALL pantheons, including purely fictional ones, except the concept of Chance. (“Chance hates me.”) (Sidenote: All underworlds and heavens are connected)
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Has his abilities accidentally sapped by accident. He requires respect to prevent PowerIncontinence but everyone is too mean. (“Well there’s my Alliance but before I moved to Bootside there simply isn’t enough.”)
* DudeWheresMyRespect: It’s his source of powers. Of course he craves it. (“RESPECT!”)
* EldritchAbomination: He’s an Ancient Being, which are godlike creatures that look like biblically accurate angels. (“Too scary?”)
* EmotionalPowers or PsychoactivePowers: Only due to PowerIncontinence that this is displayed. If he has enough respect he can control it without his emotional state being involved. (“Poor me…”)
* FourthWallObserver: The original. (“Of course!”)
* TheGadfly: Can and will use his powers to wank you into a meme version of yourself. (“(Turns [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry Bernkastel]] into a pile of ash called [[{{Pun}} Burnt]]-kastel) [[red:Pantheon/GUAETrollkaiger is screwed.]] Who’s next?”)
* GodInHumanForm and AFormYouAreComfortableWith: He manifests himself as a human male. (“It’s due to sapping but it’s cool I guess.”)
* GodIsGood: Has lots of [[BerserkButton buttons]], but is a helpful person if you don’t press them. (“Need support?”)
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Respect. (“[[RuleOfThree RESPECT!]]”)
* GreenEyedMonster: Is a JackOfAllStats, but unfortunately overshadowed by more specialised creations. (“Terrible decision…”)
* HairTriggerTemper: Angry all the time because he is wronged by his creations. (“[[OverlyLongGag RESPECT!]]”)
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Much to his chagrin. (“I’m trying to look after my multiverse and people hate me!”)
* ImaginaryFriend: In a meta way, I created everyone because I can’t socialise well. (“So I’m representing your psyche as a whole, and everyone else are imaginary friends you made… We have ourselves a MindScrew here.”)
* InsultOfEndearment: Alliancers, and Alliancers ONLY, calling him “you little wackjob”. (“Idiot is also used endearingly between us and us only. If an outsider is involved then it’s an insult.”)
* NoBiologicalSex: Ancient Beings don’t use human genders but he either manifests as a human male or identifies as a picket fence. (“Cancel me and you’re beamed.”)
* NoSocialSkills: Whatever his social skills are, they’re not human. (“I’m used to communicating with gods. It’s hard to adjust!”)
* TheParanoiac: Only due to bullying, but he’s a very distrustful person. (“[[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Hinamizawa Level…]]”)
* PungeonMaster: Makes him more human. (“Love puns.”)
** Veers into SadClown territory once you combine it with his paranoid nature. (“I joke to hide my pain! Ha ha ha! *cries*”)
* RealityWarper: He’s capable of creating and destroying everything, including energy and the fabric of reality itself. (“Law of Energy Conservation be screwed.”)
* RedBaron: “Cap” isn’t even his real name, merely referring to his leader status. His real name is a ThingManWasNotMeantToKnow. (“The multiverse will explode.”)
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: When he reaches his limit. (“[[evil:I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH FELLOW ANCIENTS AND I SHALL PURGE THIS PLACE OF LIFE.]]”) (he’s talking about the mean peers in his school.)
* SadClown: Isn’t it obvious? (“‘Nuff said.”)
* SignatureLaugh: “(WHEEZE) Hahahehehoo (WHEEZE)” (“The physics teacher said it sounded like someone giving birth.”)
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Cold at first, but kind once he trusts you. (“{{Kuudere}}.”)
* WaveMotionGun: His true form can spit a giant death beam. (“It’s called Satellite Beam.”)
* WeaponOfChoice: Two swords: A LivingWeapon called Bloodblade, an equally Ancient sword that [[AlwaysAccurateAttack redirects itself]] and can [[AbsurdlySharpBlade cut through all tangible matter]], plus a LimitBreak that makes the user [[TheJuggernaut indestructible]] when a gauge is filled; and the Concept Cutter, a sword that cuts concepts. Similarities to [[Franchise/TouhouProject Youmu Konpaku]] have been made. (“(Hums Till When)”)

!!Lily Pei (百合)
!!! Nicknames: Lillian, [[RedBaron The Purple Destruction, Death in Purple]]
!!! Symbol: A sword with a FleurDeLis handle
!!! "Don't let her toughness intimidate you. Deep down, she's a shy ol' softie." -The Handbook
My main imaginary character other than my AuthorAvatar. A powerful fighter with a problematic past.
!! Tropes:
* ActionGirl: Hits quite hard, and is the main character in many scenarios. (“I kick stuff.”)
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Mostly calm and collected, unless she's at school due to the HatePlague aura. Doesn't really have long hair but whatever. (“Don’t talk to me.”)
* AmbiguousDisorder: Seems to show heavily exaggerated symptoms of Bipolar Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Then again, my creation, my decision to leave it ambiguous. (“No specifics!”)
* AmbiguouslyBi: Yes, she has her HoYay moments. Gives a QueerFlowers motif. (“(Blushes)”)
* AnIcePerson: Associated with ice magic. (“Ice, ice, baby.”)
** TragicIceCharacter: More on DarkAndTroubledPast below. (“Pain.”)
* AntiHero: A combination of Classical and Pragmatic. (“I’m no true hero but you can rely on me.”)
* AxCrazy: At school, amplified by the HatePlague. Somehow makes her (and the rest of the cast) immune to other hate plagues. (“KILL… THEM… ALL…”)
* BadassAdorable AND CuteBruiser: Can handle both physical attacks and magical attacks [[KillItWithIce very well.]] (“HIYA! *meows*”)
* BadassLongcoat: Her jacket serves as one. (“I like it. It’s soft and comfortable.”)
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil and InsaneEqualsViolent: Four years of pain and suffering has made her quite the angry and aggressive person. (“Exactly.”)
* BeneathTheMask: Tough and stoic outside. [[red:Shy and unstable inside.]] (“My tough image is important.”)
* BerserkButton:
** Friends being hurt in any form. (“I will not let them suffer like I did!”)
** [[ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption People saying that violence is not an option.]] Tied to her DarkAndTroubledPast below, and technically a TraumaButton as well. (“PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT ARE WORSE THAN THOSE WHO DOESN’T.”)
** ReversePsychology, mainly because it can backfire. (“You suck if you use that!”)
** Don’t confiscate her devices or confiscate someone’s devices around her. (“[[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech I’ll rant on why it’s just wrong to do so!]] And considering the fact that people used to just take my stuff from me…”)
** Strictness, scolding, the like. (“Adults like you are why I hate authority.”) (sidenote: If she isn’t immediately comforted afterwards or is able to find a way to vent, she may have nightmares. “Trauma-induced over-defensiveness. I divert so much danger awareness resources onto socialising and scolding activates defence mechanisms.”)
** SadistTeacher, DeanBitterman, DrillSergeantNasty, the like. (“KILL…”)
** Using content of a show you watched as an insult. It’s annoying, and Hypocritical if you believe NewMediaAreEvil. (“If I’m (character used as insult) then you’re (BigBad of show).”)
* BigEater: Can sometimes take large portions of food. Ultimately ties into the DarkAndTroubledPast: One of the bullying methods has the bullies take all the food at lunch and when it’s finally her turn there’s nothing left. (“Can’t miss food out. Getting too hungry or getting a portion too small reminds me of this specific pain.”) Also a slow eater for the same reason (“Enjoy what you have for as long as possible.”)(“Not that I don’t gorge, you’ll just never get to see it.”)
* BlackComedy: Breathes it. Whether it be [[SuicideAsComedy hanging jokes]] or loudly screaming TACTICAL SUICIDE!, definitely. (“Wanna HANG out?”)
* BoyishShortHair: Black, short MessyHair. (“Long hair is inconvenient.”)
* BrilliantButLazy: Very smart as shown in this page. Hates studying. (“Sotsu makes no sense.”)
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Can shred through armies and likes cute things.(“Mental healing factor.”)
* BrokenBird: Considering her past, yes. (“Still hurts to this day.”)
* BullyHunter: Will not let others suffer like she did. (“Said that already.”)
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Yare yare daze.../Bloody hell..."
* CatGirl: A cat person. Has an AnimalEaredHeadband. Cue CatSmile. (“Meow.”)
* ChaoticGood: I would put her here. (“Chaos! Chaos!”)
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: As demonstrated in this page, her morals are all over the place. (“What did you expect?”)
* CompanionCube: Her NiceHat. (“They sometimes say that it’s [[Manga/{{Gintama}} the hat wearing me.]]”)
* CompetitionFreak: “You know the drill…”
* ConspicuousGloves: Sometimes wears a pair of them. (“Protects my tender hands.”)
* ContraltoOfDanger: Has a deep voice and is one of the most powerful fighters in the story. (“Hmm.”)
* CoolBigSis or BigSisterInstinct: A big sister figure to those she recruited. (“I LIKE protecting people.”)
* CosplayOtakuGirl: Likes cosplaying. (“Do you want the Elsa one or the Letty one?”)
* CrazyPrepared: Some AU versions have her have a special emergency bunker that has all sorts of survival materials. ("That's for surviving the harsh school environment.")
* CryCute and WhenSheSmiles: Due to a usual bored or angry expression, she's either cute or beautiful when she makes these expressions. (“That was supposed to be a secret.”)
* CuteAndPsycho: Hates being called cute, but can act cute when no one's looking, and will beat you to death for looking her the wrong way. (“Only at school though.”)
* DanceBattler: “Wanna see me incorporate figure skating into my kicks?”
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Was bullied for 4 consecutive years because of the classic "Ignore your bullies" Aesop backfiring. Ended up nearly dying to a concussion from being pushed down the stairs. (very brief summary) (“I kinda like your style of summarising first then flesh out more on other tropes.”)
* DarkIsNotEvil: Angry, gloomy, edgy, but is one of the nicest people in the stories. (“ANGST.”)
* DeadpanSnarker: Quite snarky. (“Do these quotes count?”)
** StepfordSnarker: As a coping mechanism to past trauma. ("SourOutsideSadInside.")
* DeathGlare: Depending on her mood, either means “Stop doing that.” Or “Prepare to die.”
* DefrostingIceQueen: Slowly regaining trust in people. (“SLOWLY!”)
* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Well AuthorAvatar Cap is an EldritchAbomination in AFormYouAreComfortableWith! (“And he’s my adopted brother.”)
* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes or TsurimeEyes: To show her tired personality. (“Ha.”)
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Gloomy, eyes are mostly dulled out. (“Can shine when needed.”)
* EveryoneHasStandards: Doesn't care about NoHoldsBarredBeatdown towards bullies. Can't stand animal abuse. (“Bullies deserve a taste of their own medicine while animal abuse is basically the same as bullying.”)
* EvilLaugh or LaughingMad: Still a good person! (“I laugh like a MagicalGirl villain!”)
* ExhaustedEyeBags: Justified, as she has nightmares of her DarkAndTroubledPast. (“It’s pretty insignificant compared to others.”)
* ExpressiveAccessory: Her hat acts like cat ears. (“It droops when I’m sad.”)
* {{Expy}}: Original design is based on [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Lillie]], but some fleshing out, a redesign and a CosmicRetcon Subverted it. (“Never forget your design origins. My favourite Pokemon games are in [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon the Sun and Moon generation.]]”)
* FaceOfAThug: “Mean look, good heart.”
* TheFairFolk: Not actually, but is shown to have fae-like tendencies when pranking people. (“Living in a QuirkyTown doesn’t help.”) (Note: On a particularly bad day, some interpret her as TheOphelia.)
* FightingSpirit: Has a [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Stand.]] (“It’s called Crystallised Silver.”)
* FloralMotifs: Lilies. It's her namesake in all languages, is said to smell like one and has a Petal Barrage attack featuring it. Combined with AmbiguouslyBi to create a QueerFlowers motif. While we’re in the mood, let’s make her symbol a FleurDeLis. (“Obviously.”)
* FourthWallObserver: Not the only one, but breaks it so much it doesn't matter anyways. (“I’m talking to you tropers right now.”)
* TheGadfly: Messes around a lot. (“I’m a bit of a troll.”)
* GamerChick and OtakuSurrogate: Why, yes. She owns a Switch and plays the game she's currently in as an idle. For the latter, she’s likes cosplaying, anime and manga, that sort of stuff. (“I have a channel.”)
* GenreSavvy: “Being a FourthWallObserver is an indicator.”
* GentleGiant: Outside of school she's a caring person that values friendship. (“If it isn’t for my sense of honour and friendship Creator/DavidWalliams will put me in his Worst Children books.”)
* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: Pistols, chainsaws, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking cha]][[ChairmanOfTheBrawl irs]]... (“I’m versatile.”)
* GroinAttack: Her Piston Kick. (“In the nuts, then kick like a piston.”)
* GrumpyBear: Usually a bit grouchy. (“After all, it’s the internal damage that made me this way.”)
* HatesBeingTouched: Will instinctively punch anyone that isn’t a friend if touched. (“You all know why…”)
* HugeSchoolgirl: Taller than most of the boys. Originally average height, but the concussion messed up her family's growing pattern. (starts out average, slowly grow to super tall) (“Family thing.”)
* InTheBlood: Battle prowess and rebelliousness, heavily exaggerated after the concussion. (“Don’t forget mischief. My great-great-grandmother played freaking Ding Dong (The Witch Is Dead) during her funeral.”)
* ImportantHaircut: Used to have long brown hair that rapidly darkened from the incident, cut it to indicate her toughening. (“Also because long hair is inconvenient.”)
* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: Recruiting people into Cap's Alliance (the protagonist group in the story) is her way of saying so. Setting up a [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Hinamizawa]] subsidiary of the titular Alliance makes the TropeNamer come full circle. (“You’re recruited!”)
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Can be quite mean at times, but generally a pleasant person. (“[[JerkassFacade Exactly.]]”)
* JumpOffABridgeRebuttal: “I’m the first jumper!”
* KarmicTrickster: Towards other karmic tricksters. (“I’m usually an example of an archetype towards characters of that archetype.”)
* KickChick: My fanmade VideoGame/SuperSmashBros. moveset are mostly kicks. (“Piston Kick!”)
* KillerYoYo: A backup weapon. (“Ranged bonk machine!”)
* KindnessButton:
** Protecting other Alliancers for her. (“You help me on my responsibility, and I will repay you.”)
** Listening to her story and understanding the reason behind her craziness. (“You understand why I am the way I am, you get instant trust.”)
* LeanAndMean: Has an average tall person build, and is quite aggressive and screwy. (“Still the nicest of them.”)
* TheMadHatter: "I'm nuts and I'm making the most out of it!"
* MagicalGirl: Never voluntarily, but when she does transform, she subverts every single convention the genre has. (“I HUNT [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica INCUBATORS!]]”) (“[[DarkMagicalGirl Also, I have an edge to my style.]]” <- And we see stuff in the Point of View of the Alliancers, so here the non-dark ones play the role of TheRival instead.)
* TheMedic: Actually does most of the healing despite being good at combat. (“[[CombatMedic I fight AND heal!]]”)
* {{Meganekko}}: Wears glasses, and is quite cute. ("Don't call me cute.”)
* MetronomicManMashing: One of her most powerful attacks. (“I use this when I’m REALLY angered.”)
* MightyGlacier: Not that she's slow, but she plays like one in games. Technically WillfullyWeak to prevent being overused. (“I tank.”)
* {{Miko}}: In a very weird way. She's the best friend and adopted sister of AuthorAvatar Cap... and Cap is an [[EldritchAbomination Ancient Being]] that's also the BarrierMaiden of [[TheVerse the Multiverse]]. Cap also has a [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Cotton Drifting Festival]]-esque thing minus all the killing and whatnot (that’s how she sees the whole thing), and Lily serves as his "priestess". The story isn't even set in Japan, but AlternateHistory Hong Kong. (“Think of it as Wata-whatever minus all the killing.” and "If you're still confused, just treat me as something like a miko.")
* MoodSwinger: “Self Explanatory!”
* NeverBeHurtAgain: Character motivation. (“Can’t act scared just in case something bad happens.”) This can lead to the constant fighting to prove her toughness be seen as reckless but there isn’t really anything we can do about it.
* NiceGirl and UsedToBeASweetKid: Still a nice person, but more cynical and aggressive after all the suffering. (“Still NICE!”)
* NiceHat (SignatureHeadgear or IconicItem): Her Brimmstead, a combination of a sunhat and a cowboy hat. (“Can be thrown as well, had it since the incident.”) Sometimes has an AnimalEaredHeadband. The Neurowear type. (“Meow?”)
* TheNicknamer: Lily’s not good with memorising names. (“They must not know my true name, in return, I give people titles to make the no-true-name thing fair.”)
* {{Ojou}}: Has the grace of one when not busy fighting. Sometimes seen with OjouRinglets. (“Beauty, Grace, will kick you in the face.”)
* OneWingedAngel: Purple Destruction. Hovers, body covered in a purple smoke, can throw police cars and even tanks for being involved. (“DESTROY.”)
* OnlySaneMan: Will call you out if you’re being ridiculous. (“[[NotSoAboveItAll I do pull off my own shenanigans.]]”)
* OppositesAttract: Tends to recruit quirky people. (“I myself can be odd but otherwise, I agree.”)
* PetitePride: “Good for dodging!”
* PopCulturedBadass: See {{Miko}} and ShoutOut. (“Don’t need to talk about this one.”)
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Doesn't make a big deal about it, but definitely values friendship. (“If I over exaggerate it then it’s too cliche.”)
* PowerStereotypeFlip: Zigzagged. On one hand, she's mostly quiet. On the other hand, she's also aggressive. (“I’m icy.”)
* PrehensileHair: Not in the Prime Universe, of course, but in an AlternateUniverse where Lily kept her long hair, innate and trained magic allows her to do so. (“And that’s why TheMultiverse is fun to explore, kids!”)
* ProneToTears: Yes, but too prideful to show it. (“Sniff”)
* PungeonMaster: Makes a lot of puns. (“Not showing one right now.”)
* PurpleIsPowerful: [[purple:Associated with purple, and is amongst the most powerful. (“My T shirt has purple stripes on it. Would you look at that, fourth wall powers making this text purple!”)]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: “Yes, I talk back to you all the time and it’s all I do, but that’s because I lost trust in people like you who only cares about scolding others!” - Lily, when someone scolds her for talking back
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When in Purple Destruction form. Usually purple otherwise, but can also have the classic [[pink:"{{Yandere}} pink heart pupils"]]. (“DESTROY.”)
* RedOniBlueOni: Usually blue to others' red, but can reverse it at school. (“Purple Oni!”)
* ResurrectiveImmortality: [[DummiedOut I don't use it much anymore]], but she can respawn indefinitely as long as she's not dying of old age. (“Can tank a nuke if I have to.”)
* SadClown: If her BlackComedy isn't an indicator I don't know what is. (“Yeah!”)
* SignatureInstrument: The drums. (“It’s a relic from my {{Expy}} days.”)
* ShoutOut: (other than the aforementioned {{Expy}})
** To VideoGame/TouhouProject:
*** Cosplays as [[NamesTheSame Lily]] White during Spring Equinox. (“ITS SPRING!”)
*** Uses the Spell Card system a lot. (“Slam! Spell Card Activated!”)
** To VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry:
*** Portrays Rika Furude in an in-universe [[TheAbridgedSeries abridgement]]... and she's the tallest of the lot portraying the shortest one. (“Minus the gun.”)
*** Names her [[KidFromTheFuture future]] daughter [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Rica]] to mess with Traybleu, local Higurashi expert and director of TheAbridgedSeries. (Though I intentionally made the joke LostInTranslation by calling her Akayaoi in the fictional Japanese version) (“It’s a family thing. Some things never change. Oh, and she’s even better than me in making dark Higurashi jokes. I know that because of time travelling shenanigans.”)
** Others
*** Amongst her cosplays include [[Film/{{Frozen}} Queen Elsa]]. (“Let that go.”)
*** Could be seen playing games on a Nintendo Switch, especially if it's a {{Crossover}} she's in. (“VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} in Overwatch!”)
*** [[VideoGame/KatawaShoujo “Even if I was blind, I would still look after my friends.”]]
* ScarfOfAsskicking: A red one. (“It’s flowy.”)
* ScarsAreForever: A thin one along her right eye a la a {{Shonen}} protagonist. (“I survived.”)
* {{Sleepyhead}}: Tends to fall asleep a lot and very quickly. (“I guess I just feel tired easily if I am far away from hime for too long.”)
* {{Shapeshifting}}: PlayedForLaughs, only turning into stuff bearing her namesake, like the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_Ki-48?wprov=sfti1 Kawasaki KI-48 due to its reporting code being “Lily”]], or a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_symbolism?wprov=sfti1 lily crucifix]]. (“I turned into an attack plane! [[AmbiguouslyBi Your cancelling is invalid!]]”)
* SignatureLaugh: “KYAHAHA! (It has vibes if a MagicalGirl villain’s EvilLaugh)” (“Or NoblewomansLaugh if I’m feeling mean.”)

* TeamMom: Protects others.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Likes cute things. ("Hugugu! *blush*")
* TooKinkyToTorture: And too [[StoneWall tanky.]] (“heeheehee”)
* TranquilFury: Arguably more dangerous in this state as there’s more tact in the fighting than a normal rage rush. (“[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Leave. Me. Alone.]]”)
* TheTrickster: “Never conform!”
* {{Tsundere}}: Towards everyone, but mostly towards [[AuthorAvatar Cap]] to prevent ShipperOnDeck. (“I mix it with my cold personality.”)
* TheUnapologetic: Would rather die, but the reason behind it is because of her subconscious fear of being seen as weak. (“I must not show weakness!”)
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: I left the relationship between her and Cap ambiguous but yes. (“NEVER HURT MY FRIENDS.”)
* WeaponOfChoice: Modded Glock called Quickshot. (“It shoots faster than a normal one!”)
* YukiOnna: Associated with them due to ice powers. (“Won’t the long hair block their faces in the wind?”)

[[folder:The Twins]]
!!Sylvia and Corey Siu (紹麗雅, 紹嘉兒)
!!! Nicknames: The Twins (Sylvia) The Shadowy Spirit (Corey) The Lightbeam
!!! Symbol: A Yin-Yang. Sylvia uses the black part and Corey the white.
!!! “These twins care for each other, willing to put aside some negative traits to protect each other.” -The Handbook
A pair of PolarOppositeTwins. Cares for each other a lot.
!! Tropes (Both):
* AxCrazy: Both can go buckwild over one another. Corey’s slightly worse in that she’s also slightly mad.
* BerserkButton:
** Mixing up their roles over their affinities. You’ll end up receiving a multi layered TwinSwitch.
** Hurting one and the other will go AxCrazy.
* BigSisterInstinct: Goes both ways, as mentioned.
* CoordinatedClothes: Matching hoodies.
* CombinationAttack: Twin Strikes.
* CreepyTwins: Can be if they have to.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Were Lily’s friends during HER DarkAndTroubledPast, and was targeted after Lily temporarily left. This led up to Sylvia’s right eye being slashed, forming her scar and Corey’s right arm being broken and unsuited for unarmed combat. It was that incident that activated their instincts: Sylvia a more physical fighter as she held back a bully with a powerful punch, and Corey a toolfighter for using a broomstick to ward off said bully. Functions as a very minor TraumaButton for Sylvia when the scar is involved, but the worst you’ll get is a stare.
* FusionDance: Can fuse into one single unit called As One.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Sylvia’s PeekABangs!
* MySisterIsOffLimits: Both ways, to a point where they can be seen as {{Asexual}} to protect each other.
* PolarOppositeTwins: They contrast each other and love each other.
* RedOniBlueOni: Sylvia (Blue) to Corey (Red).
* SiblingYinYang: It’s obvious!
* SignatureLaugh: “Ha ha ha!” (Sylvia, sounds like an EvilLaugh due to not laughing since the DarkAndTroubledPast) “FAHAHAH!” (Corey, similar to the infamous “[[VisualNovel/HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi Shion Laugh]]”. Jokingly referred as shion.wav due to the similarities.)
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Sylvia is the introverted, StoneWall tomboy, Corey is the outgoing, GlassCannon girly girl. Sylvia likes football. Corey likes art.
* TrademarkFavouriteFood: Egg waffles, but because it’s an InherentlyFunnyWord.
* TricksterTwins: ESPECIALLY if Higurashi is involved.
* TwinSwitch: Is good as disguising as one another. So good that they can pull off multi layered ones to fry your brain.
* TwinTelepathy: It can be used like a telephone.
* WeaponOfChoice: A salmon (Sylvia), a Taser (Corey)
* {{Yandere}}: A rare familial example towards one another. If one gets hurt, then [[AngstySurvivingTwin all hell breaks loose.]]
!! Tropes (Sylvia):
* CastingAShadow: Main power. (“Defensively!”)
* DarkIsNotEvil: Black wearing and gloomy, yet a nice person. (“They recognised it.”)
* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: Sleep deprived due to nightmares of Corey getting hurt. (“I want sleep.”)
* ExhaustedEyebags: A way to recognise her when she’s disguised as an IdenticalStranger. (“Good spies have subtle tells.”)
* ExpressiveAccessory: Sometimes has a cup of steaming tea on her head. Thick, regular puffs of smoke indicates happiness. Wispy, regular puffs of smoke tiredness. A bursting stream of thick smoke angry, a bursting stream if thin smoke scared, and a low circling smoke sadness. (“No one knows why it’s there but it’s there.”)
* {{Goth}}: Slightly. (“Nice aesthetics.”)
* GrappleMove: The grab itself cannot be escaped. (“Great for [[{{Fingore}} denailing]] without some confining straps.
* HeavySleeper: It’s a way to handle waking up at night due to nightmares. (“Not that it works.”)
* MasterOfDisguise: Can pull off good disguises even without the watch. (“You thought Corey would fit this role because of her performance skills? TOO BAD, GET SYLVIA’DDD!”)
* MegatonPunch: A finisher move. (“Can launch real hard.”)
* NoSocialSkills: Introverted and awkward. (“Unless Corey is around, please don’t talk to me…”) It’s better when not in Evertree, but still a bit shy.
* PeekABangs: Covers a thick scar over her right eye. (“No one reads this so I don’t care for once.”)
* ShadowWalker: Part of the package. Corey has the inverted Lightwalking ability. (“Another day, another parallel.”)
* ShrinkingViolet: Mainly due to NoSocialSkills. (“…”)
* StoneWall: Very tanky. (“I AM THE DEFENCES!”)
* WhiteMage: Defensive support. Ironically wears black. (“Ha.”)
!!Tropes (Corey):
* BlackMage: Ironically wears white. (“ATTACK!”)
* CheerfulChild: Happy and outgoing. (“And somewhat mad.”)
* GoodIsNotNice: Has light powers but is also aggressive. (“BLINDING BEAM!”)
* GadgetWatches: Both twins wear one but half of the abilities are Corey-related: Invisibility and Unnoticeable. The others are Disguise (Sylvia uses this a lot) and [[GroundhogDayLoop Looping.]] (“[[{{Pun}} Watch]] out!”)
* GlassCannon: Powerful but frail. (“As if that busted arm isn’t bad enough already…”)
* {{Invisibility}}: Can do so via a watch. (“It’s technically related to my light powers - I’m refracting light in a way to be unnoticeable.”) (Sidenote: It’s a mix of Koishi’s and Sunny’s in Touhou terms - She can also be unnoticeable using another function in the watch. This is due to a magical arrow to the head giving her Koishi’s unnoticeability.)
* LightEmUp: Main powers. (“BLIND THEM!”)
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Can perform all sorts of creepy shenanigans while maintaining that idiotic smile. (“*[[ElectrifiedBathtub puts a toaster in a bathtub]]* *:D*”)
* TheSocialExpert: Popular. (“I support my sister.”)
* ShockAndAwe: Only due to electricity being closely linked to light. (“Don’t forget the taser.”)

* BadassCrew: They all have crazy powers and they fight hard.

* SevenDeadlySins and SevenHeavenlyVirtues: Can get extremely muddy, so I'm not going over specifics.
* ShoutOut: If you squint, you may see resemblance between the Loopers and the [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry The Club]]. Spirit that's actually a god, their {{Miko}} or friend, their VitriolicBestBuds, girl who hangs out with them, typical protagonist kid, a pair of PolarOppositeTwins, and a missing/inactive sibling.
* TrueCompanions: It's kinda like a weird dysfunctional family at their boarding school, but a family nonetheless. (Sometimes Carrie's siblings serve as a SixthRanger and OnlySaneMan to the group.) (Considering that their real families aren’t around due to them living in boarding, this justifies their found family nature despite having equally good real families.)

!! The Benders (元素四姊妹)
!!! Other names: The Mad 4, The Liter- [[KilledMidSentence (shot by Monica)]]

[[folder: Paranormal Investigators]]
!! Paranormal Investigators (靈異搜查隊)
!!! Other names: The Furious Five, [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo Mystery Inc]]
!!! Members: Lily, Monica, Joanne, Carrie, Cap
Benders plus Cap. A FiveManBand.
!!Tropes:
* BerserkButton: Comparing Cap to [[VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub MC]]. If Monica doesn't shoot you that means it's a barrage of bricks, circular blades, billhooks, chakrams and Cap's WaveMotionGun. It's a freaking Touhou spellcard if you get to see it.
* CoolCar: A STEAMROLLER that Joanne owns, doubling as a Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure joke.
* ElementNumberFive: Cap is Godly Powers. Using the Wuxing System, Cap becomes Metal and Monica Wood. (It gets messy when TheFourGods is involved as the elements shuffle due to AnimalMotifs for the characters.)
** TheFourGods: Just because the elements shuffle doesn't mean I can't try working it out.
*** Cap: Yellow Dragon as he sees all, though White Tiger if his swords are involved
*** Lily: White Tiger (motif) or Black Tortoise (Affinity)
*** Monica: Vermillion Bird (motif) or Azure Dragon (Affinity)
*** Joanne: Azure Dragon (motif) or Yellow Dragon (Affinity)
*** Carrie: Black Tortoise (motif) or Vermilion Bird (Affinity)
*** (So technically a variation: The Metal Dragon-Wolf, The Ice Tiger, The Air Eagle, the Earth Alligator and The Fire Snake)
* FiveManBand
** Cap is the Leader (He's CAP for Cap's sake)
** Lily is his Lancer (RedOniBlueOni buds)
** Monica is the Chick (Cheerful, though GenreSavvy and Lampshades common Scooby tropes)
** Joanne is the Big One (Has an axe and is a powerful fighter)
** Carrie is the Smart One (Analyses the situation and lays traps)
* ScoobyDooHoax: Their entire gig is a big Scooby joke.
** ScoobyDoobyDoors: Major part of the gig.
* ShoutOut: If the Other Names section and ThreePlusTwo below isn't an indicator, this is a Scooby Doo joke.
* ThreePlusTwo: Usually split into Monica-Joanne-Carrie and Lily-Cap.

! The Cast (There are more Alliancers, I’m just focusing on these 7 to keep the page small)
!! In General:
* AsianAndNerdy: Most of them are Hongkongers, who likes TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons and reading, among other stuff. The ones that AREN’T Hongkongers still have very specific interests. (Not studying. As an Alliancer may say, “Reading is fun when you’re not forcing yourself to memorise the contents.”)
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: How Alliancers are recruited - Being nice to a member, or repaying a favour from a member.
* BerserkButton: No, the Alliance is NOT a [[HaremGenre harem.]] You will receive a shoe cannon to the face.
* TheBerserker: When they fight, they go all out. Best seen in Lily, who can catch a nuke and throw it away with her bare hands in such a state.
* BloodKnight: They all like fighting, especially big group ones.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Their ideas of solving problems usually involves fighting, traps that can injure people, or blasting the problem with magic.
* CastFullOfCrazy: A bunch of quirky people.
* CloudCuckooLander: IN SHOVELS.
* CuteBruiser or BadassAdorable: All have their own ways to be cute and all have powerful fighting styles.
** GeniusBruiser: They have TACT.
* DarkMagicalGirl: More of an umbrella term as the group is mixed-gender but most of them are magic users and most of them have issues.
* DysfunctionJunction: Everyone has issues.
* ExtravertedNerd: Most members are quite outgoing and sociable.
* FourthWallObserver: A perk of being in the Alliance. Some have more powers than others, like being aware that the Player and the Player Character are separate entities, but it is never PlayedForHorror. They may make jokes about it or just not bother with it.
* KillerRabbit: Normal and unassuming looking… Until you anger them.
* NeverBeHurtAgain: The reason they came together.
* ObfuscatingStupidity and ObfuscatingInsanity: Most are very intelligent and plotting beneath layers of craziness.
* PoweredByAForsakenChild: Taken literally - They are the rejects (forsaken ones), and they can power machines using the energy of resentment they have. Even the nicer ones have this energy in them.
* ProudToBeAGeek: They all have geeky/nerdy/otaku interests and won’t let you insult them. (In fact, using “weeb” as an insult will lead to a beatdown.)
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: A bunch of rejects, outcasts and “weird kids” grouping together, looking out for one another.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: A mixed-gender group that beats each other up at times.
* StrongerThanTheyLook and PintSizedPowerhouse: Most look normal but is capable of great strength feats, like Sylvia ripping steel with her bare hands without thinking.
* TrueCompanions: The largeness means that they can be TheFriendsWhoNeverHang but they look out for one another.
[[folder:Cap]]
!!”Cap” (隊長)
!!! Nicknames: Only allows others to call him Cap. Anything else is interpreted as MaliciousMisnaming.
!!! Symbol: An upside down hexagonal arrow with a two swords in it.
!!! “Only wants to be accepted. A lot of measures are taken.” -The Handbook
My AuthorAvatar.
!! Tropes:
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer and BullyMagnet: Gets picked on for no reason, a lot. (“I have been wronged by my creations! I am a disgrace of an Ancient.”)
* AuthorAvatar: It’s all over the place. (“It’s me and me!”)
* BerserkButton: So many.
** Nicknames. They’re basically MaliciousMisnaming to him. (“Call me Cap only.”)
** Repeatedly annoying him. It’s basically bullying. (“There’s this really annoying guy who doesn’t understand why I hate him.”)
** Forcing him to socialise even if he rejects the offer. Ties to the above. (“Don’t.”)
** Cyberstalking him. It’s bad enough already, but especially horrible if you’re cyberstalking him for criticising your morally wrong actions. (“I get cancelled over a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} SKORUPI.]] These people are psychos.”)
** If he’s running away from you or just running, DON’T ENCOURAGE HIM TO RUN. It is seen as a threat. (“I will spit Eldritch Matter with such force that you’ll take damage both physically and mentally!”)
* {{Catchphrase}}: “Apparently”, “I guess”, “Or something”, “Leave me alone!”
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: While heroic, he has weird standards. (“Hey, Ancient minds are hard to comprehend using human morals.”)
* CluelessChickMagnet: Zigzagged. He notices that he can socialise with girls better than boys, but doesn’t make too big a deal over it. (“It’s because my alien social skills can lead to trouble.”)
* CrossoverCosmology: He’s buddies with ALL pantheons, including purely fictional ones, except the concept of Chance. (“Chance hates me.”) (Sidenote: All underworlds and heavens are connected)
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Has his abilities accidentally sapped by accident. He requires respect to prevent PowerIncontinence but everyone is too mean. (“Well there’s my Alliance but before I moved to Bootside there simply isn’t enough.”)
* DudeWheresMyRespect: It’s his source of powers. Of course he craves it. (“RESPECT!”)
* EldritchAbomination: He’s an Ancient Being, which are godlike creatures that look like biblically accurate angels. (“Too scary?”)
* EmotionalPowers or PsychoactivePowers: Only due to PowerIncontinence that this is displayed. If he has enough respect he can control it without his emotional state being involved. (“Poor me…”)
* FourthWallObserver: The original. (“Of course!”)
* TheGadfly: Can and will use his powers to wank you into a meme version of yourself. (“(Turns [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry Bernkastel]] into a pile of ash called [[{{Pun}} Burnt]]-kastel) [[red:Pantheon/GUAETrollkaiger is screwed.]] Who’s next?”)
* GodInHumanForm and AFormYouAreComfortableWith: He manifests himself as a human male. (“It’s due to sapping but it’s cool I guess.”)
* GodIsGood: Has lots of [[BerserkButton buttons]], but is a helpful person if you don’t press them. (“Need support?”)
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Respect. (“[[RuleOfThree RESPECT!]]”)
* GreenEyedMonster: Is a JackOfAllStats, but unfortunately overshadowed by more specialised creations. (“Terrible decision…”)
* HairTriggerTemper: Angry all the time because he is wronged by his creations. (“[[OverlyLongGag RESPECT!]]”)
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Much to his chagrin. (“I’m trying to look after my multiverse and people hate me!”)
* ImaginaryFriend: In a meta way, I created everyone because I can’t socialise well. (“So I’m representing your psyche as a whole, and everyone else are imaginary friends you made… We have ourselves a MindScrew here.”)
* InsultOfEndearment: Alliancers, and Alliancers ONLY, calling him “you little wackjob”. (“Idiot is also used endearingly between us and us only. If an outsider is involved then it’s an insult.”)
* NoBiologicalSex: Ancient Beings don’t use human genders but he either manifests as a human male or identifies as a picket fence. (“Cancel me and you’re beamed.”)
* NoSocialSkills: Whatever his social skills are, they’re not human. (“I’m used to communicating with gods. It’s hard to adjust!”)
* TheParanoiac: Only due to bullying, but he’s a very distrustful person. (“[[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Hinamizawa Level…]]”)
* PungeonMaster: Makes him more human. (“Love puns.”)
** Veers into SadClown territory once you combine it with his paranoid nature. (“I joke to hide my pain! Ha ha ha! *cries*”)
* RealityWarper: He’s capable of creating and destroying everything, including energy and the fabric of reality itself. (“Law of Energy Conservation be screwed.”)
* RedBaron: “Cap” isn’t even his real name, merely referring to his leader status. His real name is a ThingManWasNotMeantToKnow. (“The multiverse will explode.”)
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: When he reaches his limit. (“[[evil:I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH FELLOW ANCIENTS AND I SHALL PURGE THIS PLACE OF LIFE.]]”) (he’s talking about the mean peers in his school.)
* SadClown: Isn’t it obvious? (“‘Nuff said.”)
* SignatureLaugh: “(WHEEZE) Hahahehehoo (WHEEZE)” (“The physics teacher said it sounded like someone giving birth.”)
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Cold at first, but kind once he trusts you. (“{{Kuudere}}.”)
* WaveMotionGun: His true form can spit a giant death beam. (“It’s called Satellite Beam.”)
* WeaponOfChoice: Two swords: A LivingWeapon called Bloodblade, an equally Ancient sword that [[AlwaysAccurateAttack redirects itself]] and can [[AbsurdlySharpBlade cut through all tangible matter]], plus a LimitBreak that makes the user [[TheJuggernaut indestructible]] when a gauge is filled; and the Concept Cutter, a sword that cuts concepts. Similarities to [[Franchise/TouhouProject Youmu Konpaku]] have been made. (“(Hums Till When)”)

!!Lily Pei (百合)
!!! Nicknames: Lillian, [[RedBaron The Purple Destruction, Death in Purple]]
!!! Symbol: A sword with a FleurDeLis handle
!!! "Don't let her toughness intimidate you. Deep down, she's a shy ol' softie." -The Handbook
My main imaginary character other than my AuthorAvatar. A powerful fighter with a problematic past.
!! Tropes:
* ActionGirl: Hits quite hard, and is the main character in many scenarios. (“I kick stuff.”)
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Mostly calm and collected, unless she's at school due to the HatePlague aura. Doesn't really have long hair but whatever. (“Don’t talk to me.”)
* AmbiguousDisorder: Seems to show heavily exaggerated symptoms of Bipolar Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Then again, my creation, my decision to leave it ambiguous. (“No specifics!”)
* AmbiguouslyBi: Yes, she has her HoYay moments. Gives a QueerFlowers motif. (“(Blushes)”)
* AnIcePerson: Associated with ice magic. (“Ice, ice, baby.”)
** TragicIceCharacter: More on DarkAndTroubledPast below. (“Pain.”)
* AntiHero: A combination of Classical and Pragmatic. (“I’m no true hero but you can rely on me.”)
* AxCrazy: At school, amplified by the HatePlague. Somehow makes her (and the rest of the cast) immune to other hate plagues. (“KILL… THEM… ALL…”)
* BadassAdorable AND CuteBruiser: Can handle both physical attacks and magical attacks [[KillItWithIce very well.]] (“HIYA! *meows*”)
* BadassLongcoat: Her jacket serves as one. (“I like it. It’s soft and comfortable.”)
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil and InsaneEqualsViolent: Four years of pain and suffering has made her quite the angry and aggressive person. (“Exactly.”)
* BeneathTheMask: Tough and stoic outside. [[red:Shy and unstable inside.]] (“My tough image is important.”)
* BerserkButton:
** Friends being hurt in any form. (“I will not let them suffer like I did!”)
** [[ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption People saying that violence is not an option.]] Tied to her DarkAndTroubledPast below, and technically a TraumaButton as well. (“PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT ARE WORSE THAN THOSE WHO DOESN’T.”)
** ReversePsychology, mainly because it can backfire. (“You suck if you use that!”)
** Don’t confiscate her devices or confiscate someone’s devices around her. (“[[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech I’ll rant on why it’s just wrong to do so!]] And considering the fact that people used to just take my stuff from me…”)
** Strictness, scolding, the like. (“Adults like you are why I hate authority.”) (sidenote: If she isn’t immediately comforted afterwards or is able to find a way to vent, she may have nightmares. “Trauma-induced over-defensiveness. I divert so much danger awareness resources onto socialising and scolding activates defence mechanisms.”)
** SadistTeacher, DeanBitterman, DrillSergeantNasty, the like. (“KILL…”)
** Using content of a show you watched as an insult. It’s annoying, and Hypocritical if you believe NewMediaAreEvil. (“If I’m (character used as insult) then you’re (BigBad of show).”)
* BigEater: Can sometimes take large portions of food. Ultimately ties into the DarkAndTroubledPast: One of the bullying methods has the bullies take all the food at lunch and when it’s finally her turn there’s nothing left. (“Can’t miss food out. Getting too hungry or getting a portion too small reminds me of this specific pain.”) Also a slow eater for the same reason (“Enjoy what you have for as long as possible.”)(“Not that I don’t gorge, you’ll just never get to see it.”)
* BlackComedy: Breathes it. Whether it be [[SuicideAsComedy hanging jokes]] or loudly screaming TACTICAL SUICIDE!, definitely. (“Wanna HANG out?”)
* BoyishShortHair: Black, short MessyHair. (“Long hair is inconvenient.”)
* BrilliantButLazy: Very smart as shown in this page. Hates studying. (“Sotsu makes no sense.”)
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Can shred through armies and likes cute things.(“Mental healing factor.”)
* BrokenBird: Considering her past, yes. (“Still hurts to this day.”)
* BullyHunter: Will not let others suffer like she did. (“Said that already.”)
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Yare yare daze.../Bloody hell..."
* CatGirl: A cat person. Has an AnimalEaredHeadband. Cue CatSmile. (“Meow.”)
* ChaoticGood: I would put her here. (“Chaos! Chaos!”)
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: As demonstrated in this page, her morals are all over the place. (“What did you expect?”)
* CompanionCube: Her NiceHat. (“They sometimes say that it’s [[Manga/{{Gintama}} the hat wearing me.]]”)
* CompetitionFreak: “You know the drill…”
* ConspicuousGloves: Sometimes wears a pair of them. (“Protects my tender hands.”)
* ContraltoOfDanger: Has a deep voice and is one of the most powerful fighters in the story. (“Hmm.”)
* CoolBigSis or BigSisterInstinct: A big sister figure to those she recruited. (“I LIKE protecting people.”)
* CosplayOtakuGirl: Likes cosplaying. (“Do you want the Elsa one or the Letty one?”)
* CrazyPrepared: Some AU versions have her have a special emergency bunker that has all sorts of survival materials. ("That's for surviving the harsh school environment.")
* CryCute and WhenSheSmiles: Due to a usual bored or angry expression, she's either cute or beautiful when she makes these expressions. (“That was supposed to be a secret.”)
* CuteAndPsycho: Hates being called cute, but can act cute when no one's looking, and will beat you to death for looking her the wrong way. (“Only at school though.”)
* DanceBattler: “Wanna see me incorporate figure skating into my kicks?”
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Was bullied for 4 consecutive years because of the classic "Ignore your bullies" Aesop backfiring. Ended up nearly dying to a concussion from being pushed down the stairs. (very brief summary) (“I kinda like your style of summarising first then flesh out more on other tropes.”)
* DarkIsNotEvil: Angry, gloomy, edgy, but is one of the nicest people in the stories. (“ANGST.”)
* DeadpanSnarker: Quite snarky. (“Do these quotes count?”)
** StepfordSnarker: As a coping mechanism to past trauma. ("SourOutsideSadInside.")
* DeathGlare: Depending on her mood, either means “Stop doing that.” Or “Prepare to die.”
* DefrostingIceQueen: Slowly regaining trust in people. (“SLOWLY!”)
* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Well AuthorAvatar Cap is an EldritchAbomination in AFormYouAreComfortableWith! (“And he’s my adopted brother.”)
* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes or TsurimeEyes: To show her tired personality. (“Ha.”)
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Gloomy, eyes are mostly dulled out. (“Can shine when needed.”)
* EveryoneHasStandards: Doesn't care about NoHoldsBarredBeatdown towards bullies. Can't stand animal abuse. (“Bullies deserve a taste of their own medicine while animal abuse is basically the same as bullying.”)
* EvilLaugh or LaughingMad: Still a good person! (“I laugh like a MagicalGirl villain!”)
* ExhaustedEyeBags: Justified, as she has nightmares of her DarkAndTroubledPast. (“It’s pretty insignificant compared to others.”)
* ExpressiveAccessory: Her hat acts like cat ears. (“It droops when I’m sad.”)
* {{Expy}}: Original design is based on [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Lillie]], but some fleshing out, a redesign and a CosmicRetcon Subverted it. (“Never forget your design origins. My favourite Pokemon games are in [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon the Sun and Moon generation.]]”)
* FaceOfAThug: “Mean look, good heart.”
* TheFairFolk: Not actually, but is shown to have fae-like tendencies when pranking people. (“Living in a QuirkyTown doesn’t help.”) (Note: On a particularly bad day, some interpret her as TheOphelia.)
* FightingSpirit: Has a [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Stand.]] (“It’s called Crystallised Silver.”)
* FloralMotifs: Lilies. It's her namesake in all languages, is said to smell like one and has a Petal Barrage attack featuring it. Combined with AmbiguouslyBi to create a QueerFlowers motif. While we’re in the mood, let’s make her symbol a FleurDeLis. (“Obviously.”)
* FourthWallObserver: Not the only one, but breaks it so much it doesn't matter anyways. (“I’m talking to you tropers right now.”)
* TheGadfly: Messes around a lot. (“I’m a bit of a troll.”)
* GamerChick and OtakuSurrogate: Why, yes. She owns a Switch and plays the game she's currently in as an idle. For the latter, she’s likes cosplaying, anime and manga, that sort of stuff. (“I have a channel.”)
* GenreSavvy: “Being a FourthWallObserver is an indicator.”
* GentleGiant: Outside of school she's a caring person that values friendship. (“If it isn’t for my sense of honour and friendship Creator/DavidWalliams will put me in his Worst Children books.”)
* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: Pistols, chainsaws, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking cha]][[ChairmanOfTheBrawl irs]]... (“I’m versatile.”)
* GroinAttack: Her Piston Kick. (“In the nuts, then kick like a piston.”)
* GrumpyBear: Usually a bit grouchy. (“After all, it’s the internal damage that made me this way.”)
* HatesBeingTouched: Will instinctively punch anyone that isn’t a friend if touched. (“You all know why…”)
* HugeSchoolgirl: Taller than most of the boys. Originally average height, but the concussion messed up her family's growing pattern. (starts out average, slowly grow to super tall) (“Family thing.”)
* InTheBlood: Battle prowess and rebelliousness, heavily exaggerated after the concussion. (“Don’t forget mischief. My great-great-grandmother played freaking Ding Dong (The Witch Is Dead) during her funeral.”)
* ImportantHaircut: Used to have long brown hair that rapidly darkened from the incident, cut it to indicate her toughening. (“Also because long hair is inconvenient.”)
* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: Recruiting people into Cap's Alliance (the protagonist group in the story) is her way of saying so. Setting up a [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Hinamizawa]] subsidiary of the titular Alliance makes the TropeNamer come full circle. (“You’re recruited!”)
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Can be quite mean at times, but generally a pleasant person. (“[[JerkassFacade Exactly.]]”)
* JumpOffABridgeRebuttal: “I’m the first jumper!”
* KarmicTrickster: Towards other karmic tricksters. (“I’m usually an example of an archetype towards characters of that archetype.”)
* KickChick: My fanmade VideoGame/SuperSmashBros. moveset are mostly kicks. (“Piston Kick!”)
* KillerYoYo: A backup weapon. (“Ranged bonk machine!”)
* KindnessButton:
** Protecting other Alliancers for her. (“You help me on my responsibility, and I will repay you.”)
** Listening to her story and understanding the reason behind her craziness. (“You understand why I am the way I am, you get instant trust.”)
* LeanAndMean: Has an average tall person build, and is quite aggressive and screwy. (“Still the nicest of them.”)
* TheMadHatter: "I'm nuts and I'm making the most out of it!"
* MagicalGirl: Never voluntarily, but when she does transform, she subverts every single convention the genre has. (“I HUNT [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica INCUBATORS!]]”) (“[[DarkMagicalGirl Also, I have an edge to my style.]]” <- And we see stuff in the Point of View of the Alliancers, so here the non-dark ones play the role of TheRival instead.)
* TheMedic: Actually does most of the healing despite being good at combat. (“[[CombatMedic I fight AND heal!]]”)
* {{Meganekko}}: Wears glasses, and is quite cute. ("Don't call me cute.”)
* MetronomicManMashing: One of her most powerful attacks. (“I use this when I’m REALLY angered.”)
* MightyGlacier: Not that she's slow, but she plays like one in games. Technically WillfullyWeak to prevent being overused. (“I tank.”)
* {{Miko}}: In a very weird way. She's the best friend and adopted sister of AuthorAvatar Cap... and Cap is an [[EldritchAbomination Ancient Being]] that's also the BarrierMaiden of [[TheVerse the Multiverse]]. Cap also has a [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Cotton Drifting Festival]]-esque thing minus all the killing and whatnot (that’s how she sees the whole thing), and Lily serves as his "priestess". The story isn't even set in Japan, but AlternateHistory Hong Kong. (“Think of it as Wata-whatever minus all the killing.” and "If you're still confused, just treat me as something like a miko.")
* MoodSwinger: “Self Explanatory!”
* NeverBeHurtAgain: Character motivation. (“Can’t act scared just in case something bad happens.”) This can lead to the constant fighting to prove her toughness be seen as reckless but there isn’t really anything we can do about it.
* NiceGirl and UsedToBeASweetKid: Still a nice person, but more cynical and aggressive after all the suffering. (“Still NICE!”)
* NiceHat (SignatureHeadgear or IconicItem): Her Brimmstead, a combination of a sunhat and a cowboy hat. (“Can be thrown as well, had it since the incident.”) Sometimes has an AnimalEaredHeadband. The Neurowear type. (“Meow?”)
* TheNicknamer: Lily’s not good with memorising names. (“They must not know my true name, in return, I give people titles to make the no-true-name thing fair.”)
* {{Ojou}}: Has the grace of one when not busy fighting. Sometimes seen with OjouRinglets. (“Beauty, Grace, will kick you in the face.”)
* OneWingedAngel: Purple Destruction. Hovers, body covered in a purple smoke, can throw police cars and even tanks for being involved. (“DESTROY.”)
* OnlySaneMan: Will call you out if you’re being ridiculous. (“[[NotSoAboveItAll I do pull off my own shenanigans.]]”)
* OppositesAttract: Tends to recruit quirky people. (“I myself can be odd but otherwise, I agree.”)
* PetitePride: “Good for dodging!”
* PopCulturedBadass: See {{Miko}} and ShoutOut. (“Don’t need to talk about this one.”)
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Doesn't make a big deal about it, but definitely values friendship. (“If I over exaggerate it then it’s too cliche.”)
* PowerStereotypeFlip: Zigzagged. On one hand, she's mostly quiet. On the other hand, she's also aggressive. (“I’m icy.”)
* PrehensileHair: Not in the Prime Universe, of course, but in an AlternateUniverse where Lily kept her long hair, innate and trained magic allows her to do so. (“And that’s why TheMultiverse is fun to explore, kids!”)
* ProneToTears: Yes, but too prideful to show it. (“Sniff”)
* PungeonMaster: Makes a lot of puns. (“Not showing one right now.”)
* PurpleIsPowerful: [[purple:Associated with purple, and is amongst the most powerful. (“My T shirt has purple stripes on it. Would you look at that, fourth wall powers making this text purple!”)]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: “Yes, I talk back to you all the time and it’s all I do, but that’s because I lost trust in people like you who only cares about scolding others!” - Lily, when someone scolds her for talking back
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When in Purple Destruction form. Usually purple otherwise, but can also have the classic [[pink:"{{Yandere}} pink heart pupils"]]. (“DESTROY.”)
* RedOniBlueOni: Usually blue to others' red, but can reverse it at school. (“Purple Oni!”)
* ResurrectiveImmortality: [[DummiedOut I don't use it much anymore]], but she can respawn indefinitely as long as she's not dying of old age. (“Can tank a nuke if I have to.”)
* SadClown: If her BlackComedy isn't an indicator I don't know what is. (“Yeah!”)
* SignatureInstrument: The drums. (“It’s a relic from my {{Expy}} days.”)
* ShoutOut: (other than the aforementioned {{Expy}})
** To VideoGame/TouhouProject:
*** Cosplays as [[NamesTheSame Lily]] White during Spring Equinox. (“ITS SPRING!”)
*** Uses the Spell Card system a lot. (“Slam! Spell Card Activated!”)
** To VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry:
*** Portrays Rika Furude in an in-universe [[TheAbridgedSeries abridgement]]... and she's the tallest of the lot portraying the shortest one. (“Minus the gun.”)
*** Names her [[KidFromTheFuture future]] daughter [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Rica]] to mess with Traybleu, local Higurashi expert and director of TheAbridgedSeries. (Though I intentionally made the joke LostInTranslation by calling her Akayaoi in the fictional Japanese version) (“It’s a family thing. Some things never change. Oh, and she’s even better than me in making dark Higurashi jokes. I know that because of time travelling shenanigans.”)
** Others
*** Amongst her cosplays include [[Film/{{Frozen}} Queen Elsa]]. (“Let that go.”)
*** Could be seen playing games on a Nintendo Switch, especially if it's a {{Crossover}} she's in. (“VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} in Overwatch!”)
*** [[VideoGame/KatawaShoujo “Even if I was blind, I would still look after my friends.”]]
* ScarfOfAsskicking: A red one. (“It’s flowy.”)
* ScarsAreForever: A thin one along her right eye a la a {{Shonen}} protagonist. (“I survived.”)
* {{Sleepyhead}}: Tends to fall asleep a lot and very quickly. (“I guess I just feel tired easily if I am far away from hime for too long.”)
* {{Shapeshifting}}: PlayedForLaughs, only turning into stuff bearing her namesake, like the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_Ki-48?wprov=sfti1 Kawasaki KI-48 due to its reporting code being “Lily”]], or a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_symbolism?wprov=sfti1 lily crucifix]]. (“I turned into an attack plane! [[AmbiguouslyBi Your cancelling is invalid!]]”)

* SweetTooth: To make up for a bitter past. (“I don’t even need to say it myself.”)
* TallDarkAndSnarky: Tall, Gloomy and Snarky. (“No comment.”)
* TeamMom: Protects others.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Likes cute things. ("Hugugu! *blush*")
* TooKinkyToTorture: And too [[StoneWall tanky.]] (“heeheehee”)
* TranquilFury: Arguably more dangerous in this state as there’s more tact in the fighting than a normal rage rush. (“[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Leave. Me. Alone.]]”)
* TheTrickster: “Never conform!”
* {{Tsundere}}: Towards everyone, but mostly towards [[AuthorAvatar Cap]] to prevent ShipperOnDeck. (“I mix it with my cold personality.”)
* TheUnapologetic: Would rather die, but the reason behind it is because of her subconscious fear of being seen as weak. (“I must not show weakness!”)
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: I left the relationship between her and Cap ambiguous but yes. (“NEVER HURT MY FRIENDS.”)
* WeaponOfChoice: Modded Glock called Quickshot. (“It shoots faster than a normal one!”)
* YukiOnna: Associated with them due to ice powers. (“Won’t the long hair block their faces in the wind?”)

[[folder:The Twins]]
!!Sylvia and Corey Siu (紹麗雅, 紹嘉兒)
!!! Nicknames: The Twins (Sylvia) The Shadowy Spirit (Corey) The Lightbeam
!!! Symbol: A Yin-Yang. Sylvia uses the black part and Corey the white.
!!! “These twins care for each other, willing to put aside some negative traits to protect each other.” -The Handbook
A pair of PolarOppositeTwins. Cares for each other a lot.
!! Tropes (Both):
* AxCrazy: Both can go buckwild over one another. Corey’s slightly worse in that she’s also slightly mad.
* BerserkButton:
** Mixing up their roles over their affinities. You’ll end up receiving a multi layered TwinSwitch.
** Hurting one and the other will go AxCrazy.
* BigSisterInstinct: Goes both ways, as mentioned.
* CoordinatedClothes: Matching hoodies.
* CombinationAttack: Twin Strikes.
* CreepyTwins: Can be if they have to.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Were Lily’s friends during HER DarkAndTroubledPast, and was targeted after Lily temporarily left. This led up to Sylvia’s right eye being slashed, forming her scar and Corey’s right arm being broken and unsuited for unarmed combat. It was that incident that activated their instincts: Sylvia a more physical fighter as she held back a bully with a powerful punch, and Corey a toolfighter for using a broomstick to ward off said bully. Functions as a very minor TraumaButton for Sylvia when the scar is involved, but the worst you’ll get is a stare.
* FusionDance: Can fuse into one single unit called As One.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Sylvia’s PeekABangs!
* MySisterIsOffLimits: Both ways, to a point where they can be seen as {{Asexual}} to protect each other.
* PolarOppositeTwins: They contrast each other and love each other.
* RedOniBlueOni: Sylvia (Blue) to Corey (Red).
* SiblingYinYang: It’s obvious!
* SignatureLaugh: “Ha ha ha!” (Sylvia, sounds like an EvilLaugh due to not laughing since the DarkAndTroubledPast) “FAHAHAH!” (Corey, similar to the infamous “[[VisualNovel/HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi Shion Laugh]]”. Jokingly referred as shion.wav due to the similarities.)
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Sylvia is the introverted, StoneWall tomboy, Corey is the outgoing, GlassCannon girly girl. Sylvia likes football. Corey likes art.
* TrademarkFavouriteFood: Egg waffles, but because it’s an InherentlyFunnyWord.
* TricksterTwins: ESPECIALLY if Higurashi is involved.
* TwinSwitch: Is good as disguising as one another. So good that they can pull off multi layered ones to fry your brain.
* TwinTelepathy: It can be used like a telephone.
* WeaponOfChoice: A salmon (Sylvia), a Taser (Corey)
* {{Yandere}}: A rare familial example towards one another. If one gets hurt, then [[AngstySurvivingTwin all hell breaks loose.]]
!! Tropes (Sylvia):
* CastingAShadow: Main power. (“Defensively!”)
* DarkIsNotEvil: Black wearing and gloomy, yet a nice person. (“They recognised it.”)
* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: Sleep deprived due to nightmares of Corey getting hurt. (“I want sleep.”)
* ExhaustedEyebags: A way to recognise her when she’s disguised as an IdenticalStranger. (“Good spies have subtle tells.”)
* ExpressiveAccessory: Sometimes has a cup of steaming tea on her head. Thick, regular puffs of smoke indicates happiness. Wispy, regular puffs of smoke tiredness. A bursting stream of thick smoke angry, a bursting stream if thin smoke scared, and a low circling smoke sadness. (“No one knows why it’s there but it’s there.”)
* {{Goth}}: Slightly. (“Nice aesthetics.”)
* GrappleMove: The grab itself cannot be escaped. (“Great for [[{{Fingore}} denailing]] without some confining straps.
* HeavySleeper: It’s a way to handle waking up at night due to nightmares. (“Not that it works.”)
* MasterOfDisguise: Can pull off good disguises even without the watch. (“You thought Corey would fit this role because of her performance skills? TOO BAD, GET SYLVIA’DDD!”)
* MegatonPunch: A finisher move. (“Can launch real hard.”)
* NoSocialSkills: Introverted and awkward. (“Unless Corey is around, please don’t talk to me…”) It’s better when not in Evertree, but still a bit shy.
* PeekABangs: Covers a thick scar over her right eye. (“No one reads this so I don’t care for once.”)
* ShadowWalker: Part of the package. Corey has the inverted Lightwalking ability. (“Another day, another parallel.”)
* ShrinkingViolet: Mainly due to NoSocialSkills. (“…”)
* StoneWall: Very tanky. (“I AM THE DEFENCES!”)
* WhiteMage: Defensive support. Ironically wears black. (“Ha.”)
!!Tropes (Corey):
* BlackMage: Ironically wears white. (“ATTACK!”)
* CheerfulChild: Happy and outgoing. (“And somewhat mad.”)
* GoodIsNotNice: Has light powers but is also aggressive. (“BLINDING BEAM!”)
* GadgetWatches: Both twins wear one but half of the abilities are Corey-related: Invisibility and Unnoticeable. The others are Disguise (Sylvia uses this a lot) and [[GroundhogDayLoop Looping.]] (“[[{{Pun}} Watch]] out!”)
* GlassCannon: Powerful but frail. (“As if that busted arm isn’t bad enough already…”)
* {{Invisibility}}: Can do so via a watch. (“It’s technically related to my light powers - I’m refracting light in a way to be unnoticeable.”) (Sidenote: It’s a mix of Koishi’s and Sunny’s in Touhou terms - She can also be unnoticeable using another function in the watch. This is due to a magical arrow to the head giving her Koishi’s unnoticeability.)
* LightEmUp: Main powers. (“BLIND THEM!”)
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Can perform all sorts of creepy shenanigans while maintaining that idiotic smile. (“*[[ElectrifiedBathtub puts a toaster in a bathtub]]* *:D*”)
* TheSocialExpert: Popular. (“I support my sister.”)
* ShockAndAwe: Only due to electricity being closely linked to light. (“Don’t forget the taser.”)

* SevenDeadlySins and SevenHeavenlyVirtues: Can get extremely muddy, so I'm not going over specifics.
* ShoutOut: If you squint, you may see resemblance between the Loopers and the [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry The Club]]. Spirit that's actually a god, their {{Miko}} or friend, their VitriolicBestBuds, girl who hangs out with them, typical protagonist kid, a pair of PolarOppositeTwins, and a missing/inactive sibling.
* TrueCompanions: It's kinda like a weird dysfunctional family at their boarding school, but a family nonetheless. (Sometimes Carrie's siblings serve as a SixthRanger and OnlySaneMan to the group.) (Considering that their real families aren’t around due to them living in boarding, this justifies their found family nature despite having equally good real families.)

!! The Benders (元素四姊妹)
!!! Other names: The Mad 4, The Liter- [[KilledMidSentence (shot by Monica)]]

These four represent the four classical elements. The formation is as early as Lily's DarkAndTroubledPast with Monica and Joanne being her emotional support, and Carrie joining WAY later at the start of the story.
!!Tropes:
* BerserkButton: Same as Monica's one and only, UpToEleven by the endless comparisons.
* EliteFour: Their affinities even form a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Type Square]]!

* FourGirlEnsemble:
** Lily is the TeamMom

** Joanne is the busty one
** Carrie is the boyish one
* FourTemperamentEnsemble:
** Lily is the mostly calm and collected Phlegmatic
** Monica is the outgoing and cheerful Sanguine
** Joanne is the gloomy and quiet Melancholic
** Carrie is the loud and insane Choleric
* TakeThat: The ONLY way they reference DDLC. By BlackComedy.

[[folder: Paranormal Investigators]]
!! Paranormal Investigators (靈異搜查隊)
!!! Other names: The Furious Five, [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo Mystery Inc]]
!!! Members: Lily, Monica, Joanne, Carrie, Cap
Benders plus Cap. A FiveManBand.
!!Tropes:
* BerserkButton: Comparing Cap to [[VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub MC]]. If Monica doesn't shoot you that means it's a barrage of bricks, circular blades, billhooks, chakrams and Cap's WaveMotionGun. It's a freaking Touhou spellcard if you get to see it.
* CoolCar: A STEAMROLLER that Joanne owns, doubling as a Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure joke.
* ElementNumberFive: Cap is Godly Powers. Using the Wuxing System, Cap becomes Metal and Monica Wood. (It gets messy when TheFourGods is involved as the elements shuffle due to AnimalMotifs for the characters.)
** TheFourGods: Just because the elements shuffle doesn't mean I can't try working it out.
*** Cap: Yellow Dragon as he sees all, though White Tiger if his swords are involved
*** Lily: White Tiger (motif) or Black Tortoise (Affinity)
*** Monica: Vermillion Bird (motif) or Azure Dragon (Affinity)
*** Joanne: Azure Dragon (motif) or Yellow Dragon (Affinity)
*** Carrie: Black Tortoise (motif) or Vermilion Bird (Affinity)
*** (So technically a variation: The Metal Dragon-Wolf, The Ice Tiger, The Air Eagle, the Earth Alligator and The Fire Snake)
* FiveManBand
** Cap is the Leader (He's CAP for Cap's sake)
** Lily is his Lancer (RedOniBlueOni buds)
** Monica is the Chick (Cheerful, though GenreSavvy and Lampshades common Scooby tropes)
** Joanne is the Big One (Has an axe and is a powerful fighter)
** Carrie is the Smart One (Analyses the situation and lays traps)
* ScoobyDooHoax: Their entire gig is a big Scooby joke.
** ScoobyDoobyDoors: Major part of the gig.
* ShoutOut: If the Other Names section and ThreePlusTwo below isn't an indicator, this is a Scooby Doo joke.
* ThreePlusTwo: Usually split into Monica-Joanne-Carrie and Lily-Cap.
