7	A small group of people who awoke in small rooms with impossible talents and nary a memory. They're working on being at a place that isn't an evil, sentient building. Each of the group names refer to taxons, in which life can be devided. The reason behind this is yet unknown.

10	!! Tropes they share
11	* AerithAndBob: Names like David, Daniel and Clara get paired with Anders and [[spoiler: Aishwarya]].
12	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Played with. While the actual characters retain their normal skincolor (or not so normal, in Daniel's case), their CoordinatedClothes are all a different pastel color. It turns out every power has a color assigned.
13	* BadassAdorable: They may be cute, but the world they are now in can get very treacherous. But as they've proven time and time again, they can handle it.
14	* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Averted, because Cold Lights can hit anyone. Plus, there seems to be something that directly adds charm to whatever the artist draws, making it hard to label anyone as ugly.
15	* BoyishShortHair: Name a girl that ''hasn't''. Shoulder-length seems to be the max.
16	* ChromaticArrangement[=/=]ColorCodedCharacters: Subverted. The powers is the thing that assigns them color, or rather, the Cold Light they are hit with and the colors do not represent parts of their personality. For example, Anders is quite the subversion of CheeryPink.
17	* CultureEqualsCostume: {{Averted\|Trope}}. Everyone wears 'the uniform of the Location' instead. This is why there's a labelnote showing everyone's civilian form, and even there it's averted (they look like normal people).
18	* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Everyone in the Location has a basic color sheme of pastels to look more ethereal.
19	* ElementalBaggage: [[ShockAndAwe Sam]], [[PlayingWithFire Omar]], [[CastingAShadow Dawn]] and [[PoisonousPerson Ash]] seem to take their powers from nowhere. (although the stuff Aidan, Clara and Ash [[ParanoiaFuel does come from somewhere]]...)
20	* FireIceDuo: Omar and Algific Knave.
21	* FiveTokenBand: Anders, Aidan, Leo, and Daniel are all white, western male characters, David is black, Jacqueline is the white female character (for as far as [[AmbiguouslyBrown that goes]], Omar is AmbiguouslyBrown, Middle-Eastern character, multiple disabled characters: Anders cannot speak [[spoiler:initially]], and David lost one of his arms when he was fourteen.
22	* FunnyForeigner: {{Downplayed\|Trope}}. A lot of their foreigner tropes are more specific of them than analogous to anything in the real world, and they all act like everyday people in such a situation. Of course, they still have their moments— like Dawn referring to pants as trousers.
23	* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: There's a reason the door above each room reads 'Use your imagination!'.
24	* MeaninglessMeaningfulWords: Everyone has two flavour quotes: one on their normal form and one on their civilian reference. These will be taken apart in their respective folder, with some nods to the [[WMG/{{Chiasmata}} WMG page]].
25	* MultinationalTeam: Yep.
26	* PhenotypeStereotype: Western characters who are light-skinned and well-mannered...[[SubvertedTrope these are not]]. Instead we have Bonnie, a dark-skinned Australian lass, the American albino Daniel, and the presumably western dark Ash with half-shaven black hair. Played straight with Aidan, Clara, Omar and David, though.
27	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: {{Inverted\|Trope}}, [[TrueBlueFemininity Sam is the blue girl]] and [[RealMenWearPink Anders the pink guy]]. Played straight in the other group, where Knight Vitreous has the reverse color of Aidan (a pinkish red), and Holly and Illusory Miasmic wear pink and purple respectively, but it's also subverted a bit, since three out of the five characters that wear blue in there, are female (Brisk Peregrinator, Animus Gatherer and Maquette/Haematic Demiurge).
28	* PrimaryColorChampion: Sam, Jacqueline, Bonnie, and Dawn.
29	* SinglePowerSuperhero: Though with RequiredSecondaryPowers.
30	* SymbolMotifClothing: Every power comes with a symbol, and when you enter the Location, you wear it.
31	* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: In the later artstyle, the girls have slightly longer eyelashes. This isn't prominent, though.

41
42	A nice girl in her 20's. Seemingly from the British isles. Sam is highly energetic. She is often the character to come up with new ideas to investigate something. Sam is not a GirlyGirl - she displays a more tomboy-like personality. She and Daniel occasionally get into disagreements over small things, usually due to differing opinions. No matter what, Sam will find a way to end the quarrel and have a good laugh with her friends. At her very core, Sam knows what it means to be a true companion and has a heart full of compassion. She is loyal and loves to help others. Her power is to create electricity/lightning.
43
44	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: [[TrueBlueFemininity It's a sky blue]]!
45	* BadassAdorable: [[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/120451547197/in-a-hypothetical-situation-where-each-of-the She'd beat]] Element Fragmenter, who can break anything with a single touch.
46	* BlueIsHeroic: The very first protagonist introduced coincidentally wears blue.
47	* BodyHorror: Her fingers turn chrystalline.
48	* {{Determinator}}: Sam is [[PluckyGirl persistently optimistic]] and determined to overcome any obstacle she faces in her time in the Location. Regardless of what role she plays while trying to get out with her friends, she always has a sense of humor.
49	* HappilyAdopted: See below.
50	* HarmlessElectrocution: [[RequiredSecondaryPowers But of course]]!
51	* MeaninglessMeaningfulWords: 'The one who clashes thunder's flints' refers to her [[ShockAndAwe electrical power]].
52	** Her flavour quote at her civilian reference is '[[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/118650344137/i-played-with-thunderits-sam-the-first I played with thunder]]' which is of course (next to being a bit of a pun) a metaphor for doing something dangerous, so this might be tying in to her forbidden knowledge or living a dangerous lifestyle.
53	* PluckyGirl: Certainly. However, this tends to make her [[GenreBlindness genreblind]] a bit too.
54	* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Played with. It's been said that she can be hit by lightning and be completely fine, but this doesn't mean she's ''attuned'' to the element of electricity and she cannot detect it.
55	* ShockAndAwe: Her power.
56	* SymbolMotifClothing: A blue zig-zag-arrow facing upwards.
57	* TrueBlueFemininity: The first girl introduced, wearing blue.
58	* WistfulAmnesia: When she comes across the slab, 'it had something to do with...something'.
59	* YellowLightningBlueLightning: {{Downplayed\|Trope}}. It's certainly a shade of blue, but otherwise very white.

68
69	A nice Irish fellow. Worked in a lab, at some point. Spacey but well meaning. Has a habit of saying whatever pops into his head and often jumps to conclusions. His power is to create green, solid things.
70	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: It's a very bright teal, called aqua in some cases!
71	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Can never really focus as to what's going on.
72	* BodyHorror: His hands become covered in green callouses.
73	* DeadpanSnarker: A result of his habit mentioned above.
74	--> Well, throwing around pebbles sounds 'useful'.
75	--> You sure you're not one of the twits?
76	* DemotedToExtra: He plays absolutely no role at all in the part after he's introduced.
77	* HiddenDepths: A little skittish, but he's no airhead. He prefers to take the things as he sees them.
78	* HeroicAmbidexterity: Of the second kind. [[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/95396856587/aidan He trained his left arm when his right arm got broken]].
79	* HumanPopsicle: [[http://mspfa.com/?s=7068&p=319 Might have become this]].
80	* MeaninglessMeaningfulWords: 'The one who creates destructive things' refers to his SpontaneousWeaponCreation. It isn't restricted to only weapons, but then again, you could throw or hit someone on the head with any solid thing.
81	** His flavour quote at his civilian reference is '[[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/119466850452/i-wove-a-monsterits-aidan-the-last-of-the I wove a monster]]', and the discription says he's still haunted by [[NoodleIncident something that happened]] - he might've made a monster - a literal or metaphorical one - that eventually got out of hand.
82	* PowerOfCreation: He belongs to this group.
83	* RedheadInGreen: Well, a Redhead In Teal.
84	* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: His powers, although it doesn't strictly have to be weapons. He more or less makes geometric constructs out of...something.

96
97	A tightly wound desk jockey from the US of A, Daniel is assertive and likes to be in charge most of the time. He is rational, skeptical, and highly motivated to get his own way. Daniel is normally very opinionated. He is difficult to frighten, a fact he takes pride in. He tended to play a somewhat antagonistic role throughout the first chapter, often acting bossy towards the other characters. In later chapters, his personality becomes bolder and less overbearing.
98	[[spoiler: [[WordOfGod Apparently had worked for the Chiasm Syndicate]]]]. His power manifests itself as telekinesis. [[spoiler: Also see his tropes under the Motor folder in the Benefactor's League entry]].
99	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: It's an orange-red!
100	* BodyHorror: His skin starts fragmenting.
101	* BrutalHonesty: He's never afraid to speak his mind.
102	* ColorCodedEmotions: {{Downplayed\|Trope}}. When he gets extremely annoyed, [[http://mspfa.com/?s=7068&p=48 the red in his eyes becomes visable]].
103	* TheComicallySerious: At times, yes. Especially around [[PluckyGirl Sam]].
104	* ConspiracyTheorist: Certainly paranoid, and exhibiting some of the trademark behaviours.
105	* TheCynic: The most distrustful of the four, and one might guess this is due to his albinism.
106	* DeadpanSnarker: Frequently, though all things considered, it's difficult to blame him.
107	-->"Stop philosophising and get on with it. I need someone to share my pain of slowly lost humanity. Apart from Bonnie. She's ''decidedly'' unsympathetic."
108	-->"Oh yeah, poison gas sounds downright ''fun''."
109	* DefrostingIceKing: As they become increasingly derailed in their adventures, he starts to act more normal.
110	* FacePalm: Has this reaction to Sam's antics on occasion, [[spoiler: especially when she [[GenreBlindness expresses the desire to go up and investigate a mysterious tomb like object]]]].
111	* HypocriticalHumor: When he tries to lays down some "ground rules" with Sam and Aidan, the second is that they don't "follow him around like braindead sheep" before making the third one be that "you pair of idiots do what I say." and claims that they are perfectly reasonable when they call him out over it.
112	* {{Irony}}: He liked to play video games... [[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/120227689682/what-type-of-video-games-does-daniel-like-to-play but not that much due to his mutation]].
113	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Seems rather paranoid and abrasive at first, but eventually grows to show concern for the rest of the group. He tends to take charge and can be very blunt to others.
114	* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: With Bonnie. It's all a part of their ShipTease.
115	* MeaninglessMeaningfulWords: 'The one who knows true control' as in 'he really knows what it's like to move objects around with his mind'.
116	** His flavour quote at his civilian reference is '[[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/118477379537/i-went-to-warthe-first-of-the-chiasmata I went to war]].' This can be taken in two contexts: that he has been an actual soldier at one point in his career, or that he went to a ''metaphorical'' war, which may be something mental.
117	* MindOverMatter: His power.
118	* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Does this to ''himself'' after first meeting Sam and Aidan by referring to the group as "[[{{Foreshadowing}} this little triumvirate of twits]]. And me."
119	* MysticalWhiteHair: He is albinistic, and has telekinetic powers.
120	* NotQuiteFlight: Utilizes this [[https://mspfa.com/?s=7068&p=331 here]].
121	* ProperlyParanoid: While it may be difficult in regards to dealing with people, it lends him be a bit more cunning than some of the others. [[spoiler: He also turned out to be right about the coffin thing in the Halls of Arbiter being bad news]].
122	* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Bonnie.
123	* ShipTease: Never noticed his and Bonnie's civilian forms are [[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/118735843752/shippingpngehehehehehehe looking at eachother]]?
124	* SugarAndIcePersonality: In spades.
125	* SymbolMotifClothing: An orange-red upwards triangle in a box.
126	* {{Tsundere}}: He seems to genuinely care for the others. Not that he'll admit it.

137
138	A strong-willed lass from the land down under. Bonnie is a wholehearted girl, and pretty-in-personality kind of girl. She is optimistic, positive, kindhearted and always gets along with others. [[note]] Daniel [[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple is a different story]]...[[/note]] Bonnie is aware of her flaws and embraces them. She likes the people she's with in the Location and they are the most important things in the world to her. She is nice and outgoing, and likes to try out new things. She can sometimes struggle with her quirks but always finds a new perspective of her quirks in the end. She is portrayed as kind and naïve, but her naïvety or naïveté, makes her unaware of danger now and then. Her power is to regenerate from things. [[spoiler: Also see her tropes under the Augment folder in the Benefactor's League entry]].
139	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: It's a muddy yellow!
140	* AnArmAndALeg: Generally required by her "puzzles"
141	* AwesomeAussie: Well, she's brave at the very least.
142	* BadassAdorable: With big eyes, naivete and a nearly ineffable good attitude, this girl seems strangely cute! Try to absorb her friends and '''[[http://mspfa.com/?s=7068&p=241 she will take you out]]'''.
143	* BigSisterInstinct: She's protective of her friends and won't leave them alone if they're troubled.
144	* {{Biomanipulation}}: The [[http://theghostofminitiate.tumblr.com/post/82522372005/okay-okay-okay-i-think-ive-got-some-good-logic main theory]] about her and Face Changeling's symbol is that it has to do with vitality of living beings, which makes some sense, seeing [[HealingFactor their]] [[VoluntaryShapeshifting powers]].
145	* BodyHorror: Her healing gets worse the more she regenerates, resulting in [[StealthPun lizard limbs]].
146	* DeadpanSnarker: At least regarding her [[BlessedWithSuck power]]. Best seen [[spoiler: after having to cut off her arm and [[BodyHorror growing something definitely not human in it's place]]]].
147	-->'''Bonnie''': This healing thing is awful. I want a refund.
148	* {{Determinator}}: 'Attempt to move through sheer willpower'. She has a tendency to push forward in the face of problems, although this often leads to stubborness.
149	* HealingFactor: Her power, and she isn't thrilled about it.
150	* HugeSchoolgirl: She easily towers above the rest.
151	* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: She and Daniel are not on very good terms. [[InsaneTrollLogic This of course heightens]] their ShipTease.
152	* MeaninglessMeaningfulWords: 'The one who dies a thousand small deaths' is easy to figure out: what she regrows, has died.
153	** Her flavour quote at her civilian reference is '[[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/118735722877/i-sailed-the-seasby-popular-demand-its-bonnie I sailed the seas]]' which indicates she might be a sailor.
154	* NiceGirl: She almost immediately tries to comfort and volunteers to help [[spoiler:the mysterious smoke orb she and Clara find, before even knowing what he needs help with]].
155	* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Daniel.

174	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: It's a pure red, [=#FF0000=]!
175	* AmbiguouslyBrown: Due to we not knowing where she's from.
176	* BodyHorror: Gets pieces of coral and whiskers on her hands and face.
177	* ColorCodedTimeStop: It turns a dark red, and redder depending on the amount of layers on it.
178	* MeaninglessMeaningfulWords: Her quote seemed to be order swapped with Brisk Peregrinator, because this one applies to her in a more logical way. [[MoonLogic Then again]]...this heading shall be about both quotes. The one at this page is easy, as she really does change the progression of time. 'The one who walks faster than they all can run' can refer to her slowing down time on someone else.
179	** Her flavour quote at her civilian reference is an interesting one - '[[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/119312642292/i-bought-the-peaceits-the-penultimate-chiasmato I brought the peace]]' (tying in to her dearest memory, [[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/94758153567/what-are-the-happiest-memories-of-the-chiasmata making a difference]]) and now it's been revealed she's actually [[spoiler: Isochrone who [[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/95399044322/isochrone used to be a policewoman]], we finally know where this quote pertains to: the police brings peace by incarcerating criminals]].
180	* SymbolMotifClothing: A pure red simplistic hourglass.

192	A ladylike Latina with a decidedly unladylike skill. She's loud, forward and may come off a little intimidating, but she's friendly overall. She has a worrying knowledge about radioactivity, which may or may not have to do something with her [[WMG/{{Chiasmata}} past life]]. Clara is confident, laid-back, and easygoing. She often had to work together with Omar due to their powers going together, and their different personalities make them perfect complements to each other, while it may not seem so. While Clara is a quick thinker, Omar likes to take his time (worrying). Clara can get nervous or frightened on occasion, but she is not insecure about her fears. Her power is to create and control (poison) gas.
193	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: It's a bright light green leaning to yellow a bit!
194	* BadassAdorable: [[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/120451547197/in-a-hypothetical-situation-where-each-of-the She'd beat]] Illusory Miasmic, ''a member of the Disharmonies''.
195	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She even scares [[PlayingWithFire Omar]] when she gets angry enough. [[spoiler:And the voice of Architect]].

197	* DeadlyGas: She makes it, but it's more explosive than poisonous.

221	An agreeable enough dude from Italy. Finds himself in a scrap. His power is to create and control ghosts from a part of his soul based on a solitary emotion/trait.
222	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: It's sandy-colored!
223	* {{Biomanipulation}}: Although ghosts aren't alive, [[http://theghostofminitiate.tumblr.com/post/82522372005/okay-okay-okay-i-think-ive-got-some-good-logic this is likely]].

230	* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Well, not deliberately. When he overexerts his power, his colors drain, leaving him black and white as if he's [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic discorded]].
231	* {{Intangibility}}: His side affect causes him to lose all color, feeling, and eventually tangibility.
232	* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Even more so than others have.

235	* MeaninglessMeaningfulWords: 'The one who breaths the stillborn'. It is still unknown what this has to do with his power exactly.
236	** His flavour quote at his civilian reference is '[[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/119141341652/i-worked-my-artsits-leo-and-really-cant-you I worked my arts]]'

252
253	A paranoid, twitchy and altogether neurotic fellow from the Middle East. Omar is a frenetic guy who is more tightly wound than the other Prokaryota. He thinks, speaks, acts and reacts quickly. He may not be the most agile or graceful of the group, but he is rather determined. Omar tended to undergo a "panic attack" in [[http://mspfa.com/?s=7068&p=76 nearly]] [[http://mspfa.com/?s=7068&p=79 every]] panel before he was introduced. His tendency to worry continues to be brought up throughout the comic, but he does not panic as frequently in later panels. His power is to create and control fire.
254	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: It's dark purple!
255	* BodyHorror: Becomes a flaming skeleton.
256	* BurningWithAnger: [[http://mspfa.com/?s=7068&p=314 Here]].
257	* CharacterDevelopment: The amount of panic attacks Omar suffers decreased after his chapter (Prokaryote)
258	* EyeTake: The picture shown.
259	* FreakOut: Extremely prone to panic attacks.
260	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Similar to the Daniel example, he starts out very paranoid and a little too trigger happy with his fire abilities. But is willing to calm down once he realizes that none of the others are "The bad guy". And he was willing to charge in against an unknown, and as far as he was concerned very dangerous individual to help Clara (Who he didn't know at all) and Leo (Who he had already fought with at least once).
261	* KillItWithFire: Initially his point of view.
262	* MeaninglessMeaningfulWords: 'The one who calls the oldest creation' refers to fire being mankind's first discovery.
263	** There's a lot of WMG going on about his civilian reference's quote. View it over [[WMG/{{Chiasmata}} there]].
264	* PlayingWithFire: His Power.
265	* ShrinkingViolet: What his civilian form emulates to. See the [[WMG/{{Chiasmata}} WMG page]] for possible explanations.
266	* StuffBlowingUp: Uses explosions as a boost to signal stuff and to jump from place to place.

280
281	A chill old fellow from South Africa. He was disarmed when he was fourteen. David is somewhat hesitant to express his opinions, and slow to take the lead. When he overcomes his shy feelings, David gets the respect he deserves. He is revealed to be sweet and intelligent as the series progresses. Throughout his time in the Location, he frequently takes the role of a humble servant or faithful assistant, putting his friends' needs ahead of his own and helping them in any way he can. He is not one to ask for recognition, but even so, he receives a lot of love and support from his friends for all that he does for them. His power is to swap things with his thoughts.
282	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: It's a deep orange!
283	* BodyHorror: Gets a forked tongue - but [[NothingIsScarier this might not be the only thing]].
284	* CoolOldGuy
285	* EquivalentExchange: Of a form, he can switch the properties of comparable objects.
286	* HandicappedBadass: Well, he's certainly clever.

288	** His flavour quote at his civilian reference was '[[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/118899734647/i-was-there-beforelocal-grandpa-proves-adorable I was there before]]' which might refer to him going through the same trials before as his next generation is.

301	A peppy enough girl from Canada. Quite a lot of her is dinosaur. Her power is to create and control darkness.
302	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: It's a dark blue!
303	* AscendedFangirl: Was [[WordOfGod apparently]] a big superhuman fan, and now has powers of her own.
304	* BadassAdorable: [[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/120451547197/in-a-hypothetical-situation-where-each-of-the She'd beat]] Bright-Eyed Luminary, who is (just like Illusory Miasmic) ''a member of the Disharmonies''.
305	* BlueIsHeroic
306	* BodyHorror: Her limbs become dinosaur.
307	* CastingAShadow: Her power.
308	* DarkIsNotEvil: Played completely straight, Dawn is - like the others - good.
309	* EmergingFromTheShadows: Her introduction.
310	* InnateNightVision: Likely, since k2 [[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/68202291675/do-people-in-chiasmataelectrophoresis-only-have has said that]] the powers tend to overgeneralize a bit.
311	* LivingShadow: Subverted. Dawn can melt into her own shadows and use them for transportation, and her limbs are usually faded into shadows, but she's solid for the most part. [[http://mspfa.com/?s=7068&p=122 Her]] [[http://mspfa.com/?s=7068&p=131 various]] [[http://mspfa.com/?s=7068&p=139 appearances]] play with the distribution of the shadows on her body, suggesting that they either shift organically or can be concentrated according to her preferences.
312	* MeaninglessMeaningfulWords: 'The one who takes eyes and ears' refers to her darkness, in which she can't hear Anders' [[spoiler: mind control]], and of course, you can't see in the dark.
313	** Her flavour quote at her civilian reference was '[[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/118814324337/i-watched-the-sunriseits-dawn-what-a-fitting I watched the sunrise]]' which is rather fitting seeing her name. Seeing that [[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/95222844862/dawn she is a fan of arctic places]], it may have been the aurora borealis/australis.
314	* PluckyGirl: Seems to be taking the whole situation in stride, only really beginning to freak out after her hands become clawed, and even then she seems to get over it fairly quickly.
315	* ShadowOfImpendingDoom: ''Seemed'' to be this. And, if she gets angry enough, probably played straight.
316	* ShadowWalker: Not exactly. She uses her shadows to walk in, in which she is mainly unseen, but not entirely unheard, as Ash [[https://mspfa.com/?s=7068&p=130 demonstrated]].
317	* ShipperOnDeck: [[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/113547097547/whos-the-biggest-superhuman-shipper-in-the Apparently]].

328
329	A part-time English teacher. Stoic. Acidic. She makes a creepy impression on others, due to her solid-green eyes and half-shaven hair. They are used to it, [[DistractedByMyOwnSexy for her, however]]... Her power is to create and control acid.
330	* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: A result of the general rule that the powers leave the people alone.
331	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: It's bright green, [=#00FF00=]!
332	* BadPowersGoodPeople: She's at the very least agreeable.
333	* BodyHorror: Her acid starts leaking through her skin.
334	* CoolTeacher: She teaches English, part-time.
335	** WordOfGod says her pupils regarded her as '[[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/94450461252/was-ash-generally-well-liked-by-her-students a cool teacher with cool hair]]'.
336	* CursedWithAwesome: For how downright creepy and dangerous it is, Ash's power is pretty cool and she handles it fairly well.
337	* DistractedByMyOwnSexy: Reversed. When she and David come across a [[{{Bizarrchitecture}} room filled with water and a path]], she tries to discover what the water exactly is. One of her questions is to find out how deep the water is, and [[JustifiedTrope because the Location does not have reflective surfaces elsewhere]], she finally [[http://mspfa.com/?s=7068&p=292 discovers]] [[MonochromaticEyes what her eyes look like]] and is pretty [[SubvertedTrope shocked]]. The description reveals that she is pretty sure it hasn't always been that way, which is true.
338	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything:
339	--> [warning: [[YouAreNumberSix subject 10]] has inconsistent internal genetics beyond adjusted parameters]
340	--> {subject 10 contains a parasitic self-replicating mass of dividing cells in their lower abdomen that do not sufficiently match their genetic template}
341	* EmeraldPower
342	* ExoticEyeDesigns: MonochromaticEyes with some lighter shade ([[http://mspfa.com/?s=7068&p=150 sometimes]]) as her iris to resemble shadows.
343	* [[FreakyFashionMildMind Freaky Appearance, Mild Mind]]: Would you believe she's also a teacher?
344	* LovecraftianSuperpower: She can produce acid. Acid that tends to come out of her eyes.
345	* MeaninglessMeaningfulWords: 'The one who burns the substance of the world' once again refers to PoisonIsCorrosive.
346	** Her flavour quote at her civilian reference is '[[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/118561219592/i-trod-the-globeand-at-around-56-heres-ash I trot the globe]]', so she may have been a traveler, too, as her dearest memory was [[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/94758153567/what-are-the-happiest-memories-of-the-chiasmata the first breaths of foreign air]].
347	* MemeticMutation: [[http://dsknsk.tumblr.com/post/166916325136/a-guide-to-troubled-chiasmata-part-3-caustic Sort of]]?
348	--> So I found out Ash is, next to Anders, Brother Dearest and Daniel, very susceptible to these [[note]] Guide To Troubled Birds [[/note]] memes.
349	* MonochromaticEyes: Her powers seem to have permanently turned them a solid green.
350	* PoisonIsCorrosive: Thought this was the case, but [[http://mspfa.com/?s=7068&p=137 was proven otherwise]].
351	* PoisonIsEvil: Averted, Ash is a good girl.
352	* PoisonousPerson: Especially [[http://mspfa.com/?s=7068&p=129 at first]].

366
367	A smug fellow from Norway who can't seem to speak for himself. His power is to control others.
368	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: It's a bright pink!
369	* BlessedWithSuck: He's quite powerful, but unfortunately his lack of control means that he's unable to be around others without [[spoiler: controlling them completely]], and since he can't speak it's difficult for him to communicate with them about this.
370	* BodyHorror: Bony protusions and pink blood.
371	* CheeryPink: {{Subverted\|Trope}}, he's a rather brooding guy.
372	* EmotionControl: As a consequence. His 'door name' is even PATHOS, which [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathos implies this]].
373	* ExoticEyeDesigns: Black with bright pink slits for pupils, but they've not always been that way.
374	* FlatWhat: When he sees that his test requires [[spoiler: releasing the others from his control]].
375	* GlowingEyes: All the better [[http://mspfa.com/?s=7068&p=123 to]] [[spoiler:'''[[CreepyCute control your mind with]]''']]. Even after he's revealed, he has them of a sort.
376	* MeaninglessMeaningfulWords: 'The one who observes the colors' might refer to [[spoiler: him seeing the 'true colors' of your mind]].
377	** His flavour quote at his civilian reference is '[[http://k25ff.tumblr.com/post/119058499792/i-worked-aloneits-anders-by-popular-demand-he I worked alone]]', which might imply he was a loner.
378	* MindControl: His power.
379	* NoEyeInMagic: Anyone he can see is vulnerable to his power.
380	* {{Pink Hero\|ine}}: Magical powers? Check. While he's not the leader of the group, he's certainly...different as his power [[spoiler: doesn't comply to the Cammaert's Axiom]].
381	* PowerIncontinence: Unlike the others, Anders starts out unable to switch his powers ''off''.
382	* PowerStrainBlackOut: His power in combination with Daniel's secondary/unconscious power (getting information about everything he touches) [[http://mspfa.com/?s=7068&p=148 does not work well]].
383	* PsychicPowers: Yeah.
384	* SmugSnake: Comes across as a bit of this at first with his treatment of the other characters.
385	* SymbolMotifClothing: A pink swirl facing inwards.
386	* TheVoiceless: Can only speak coherently [[spoiler: through others]]. [[spoiler: At least, until David swaps his "voice" with that of the speaker]].
387	* YouAreNumberSix: Subject 12.
