Line #97 Characters/TheUniversiad


1	Characters for ''Fanfic/TheUniversiad, a Spacebattler Story''.
2
3	!The Forum in general
4
5	An interdimensional organisation-state-civilisation founded by the Originals. Based out of a vast fleet with a minimum of fixed holdings, they wander the multiverse in search of the universe they originated from.
6
7	* AerithAndBob: Thanks to the Originals' sticking to their "usernames" and the wide variety of intermixed cultures from imported populations.
8	* AlmightyJanitor: There are thousands of Originals alone, every last one with millennia of experience. Of course there are plenty hiding in positions well below their ability.
9	* BerserkButton: Unless you have a reason ironclad enough to take the Death Star's superlaser, there are less painful ways to commit suicide than deliberately harming a child in Forum personnel's vicinity.
10	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Forum society has very few restrictions; it condones things like ultraviolence and hyper-porn that would horrify many self-proclaimed extreme anarchist libertarians and get you multiple life sentences from anyone else. But they also practice SinisterSurveillance to such a pervasive extent that {{Big Brother\|Is Watching}} would baulk, and there are still lines, some of which are bizarre ones like "no stockpiling". [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Even God may not be able to help you]] if you get caught crossing them. The punishments that ensue are drastic enough that any dictators of third world shitholes fortunate enough to witness them would either be [[EvenEvilHasStandards appalled]] or [[InLoveWithYourCarnage inspired.]]
11	--> "Are all you forumites insane?" Councilor Tevos glared through the screen at me, her lovely features made even more attractive, in many ways, by the fire in her dark eyes. "You seem to run from scandal to controversy to flirting with open warfare over the most bizarre of reasons! You claim to be civilised, but you execute people on live vid, as though it's something to be proud of! There is no predicting you! It can't just be your race: even the Systems Alliance aren't this ... this mercurial! Are you all quite mad?" ''(From Curbstomp: It Never Rains)''
12	* {{Cyborg}}: Commonplace even among civilians, and often necessary to counteract Forum-exclusive ailments.
13	* DeathIsCheap: A Forum citizen that dies will "respawn" shortly afterwards, barring a certain few unusual causes of death. For some reason it only starts taking effect after hitting 18, though.
14	* GoodIsNotNice: The Forum genuinely aims to do good for the universes it visits, but it can be harsh about things.
15	** IAmAMonster: And some of its members are entirely too aware of how nasty their actions are.
16	* HeroOfAnotherStory: Not the Forum itself, but there are countless of these given the size of the population.
17	* MercyKill: Invoked. Due to the respawning effects, it's often far more expedient to just end a citizen's misery.
18	* OldMaster: Past a point, almost every Forum citizen has multiple lifetimes' worth of experience in their chosen fields, and just wait till you get to the Originals...
19	* OutsideContextProblem: Of a sorts. Its inter-universal status enables it to hang with single-universe powers its apparent greater.
20	* OvershadowedByAwesome: There are many within the Forum who would objectively be masters of their fields anywhere else. But between the multi-millennial experience of the Originals and the sheer "imported" genius it picks up, these sorts often go forgotten.
21	* PossessionImpliesMastery: Averted with Forerunner tech. Despite having had [[http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/the-universiad-a-spacebattler-story.238176/page-8#post-8932522 the Forum (the spacecraft)]] for thousands of years, scientists and engineers still have yet to fully replicate the power of its equipment. The Forerunners are ''that'' far ahead.
22	* SpaceNomads
23
24	!Originals in general
25
26	"Originals" is a term used to refer to the original members of the Forum taken from their native universe into the Broken Lands.
27
28	* AntiMagic: Even untrained Originals have developed some level of resistance to telepathy and being accountable to enemy precognition.
29	* BerserkButton: The Originals annually commemorate the date they vowed to let go of their real names. Mocking the occasion is a good way to get a hurt real bad.
30	* EveryoneHasStandards: The Originals are to a man {{Combat Pragmatist}}s who cheerfully advocate ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill, but the results of deploying a [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Witch]] during the "Starkiller" [[Series/{{Babylon 5}} Black Star incident]] were so brutal that everyone involved, all the way up to even normally TheUnfettered Gideon020, was forced to reconsider the morality of doing so, and eventually ruled them GodzillaThreshold-only WMD.
31	* FamedInStory: You'll have to go pretty far to find an Original that ''isn't'' (in)famous for at least one thing.
32	* FromNobodyToNightmare: From a bunch of geeks and nerds, almost none of whom had combat experience or training, to a major multiversal power.
33	* JackOfAllTrades[=/=]RenaissanceMan: Throw a stone in a crowd of Originals and very good odds you'll hit someone at least expert-level in multiple fields.
34	* ThatManIsDead: The Originals all renounced their original names, vowing not to use them until such time as they returned to their own universe.
35	* TimeAbyss: The Originals have lived for twelve thousand years.
36	* WorldOfBadass: It's probably nigh-impossible to find an Original who ''can't'' {{Curb Stomp\| Battle}} a special forces team, and things only go up from there.
37
38	!Individual Forum service arms
39
40	!![[http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/the-universiad-thread-2.256506/page-48#post-11113781 Aggressive Extraction Force]]
41
42	A cross-service force expressly charged with retrieving unwittingly displaced Forum citizens from the universes they've been abducted to with maximum force and minimum subtlety.
43
44	* TheCavalry: Their raison d'etre.
45	* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: The AEF is extremely "fuck subtle, shoot 'em all" even by the CombatPragmatist, MoreDakka- and NuclearOption-loving standards of the Forum. [[Franchise/{{Nasuverse}} Counter Force]] would be proud.
46
47	!!The Commissariat
48
49	The Forum's military police force.
50
51	* InterserviceRivalry: In the early days after the First Incursion, they were unwilling to cede authority to the officially-designated FLEETSEC and tried to keep their rivals under-equipped and -staffed. It took Gideon's intervention before they gave up civilian policing.
52
53	!![[http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/the-universiad-a-spacebattler-story.238176/page-14#post-8962497 FLEETSEC]]
54
55	The Forum's civilian police force. Includes members of an AlternateUniverse version of the ComicBook/{{Judge\| Dredd}}s.
56
57	* BigBrotherIsWatching: Forumites can have so much freedom partly due to the ubiquitous surveillance.
58	* SWATTeam: One of their EliteMooks branches.
59
60	!![[http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/the-universiad-a-spacebattler-story.238176/page-22#post-9029267 MILCOMM]]
61
62	The Forum's ground and planetary operations force. Includes the wet navy.
63
64	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Their official profile mentions "unproven" rumours of a squad of [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk gamma energy-enhanced]] soldiers under their aegis.
65
66	!!MILNET (defunct)
67
68	The former Forum ground force, disbanded after the First Incursion.
69
70	* HeroWithBadPublicity: The Black Queen War-era Flamethrower Specialists were abhorred despite (because of?) their essential role of burning the dead to prevent their being raised as zombies.
71
72	!!The Moderators and Administrators
73
74	The actual leaders of the Forum. Though Forum Members - Membership, with a capital M, is a position distinct from ordinary citizenship - are permitted, nay, obligated to debate and hash out Forum policy, the Moderators and their leaders the Administrators hold final veto.
75
76	* TheGhost: Enforced. Due to Gideon (the author)'s insistence that only the appropriate users can "play" the characters representing themselves, and none of the actual mods deigning to join in, they will remain offscreen for the foreseeable future.
77
78	!![[http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/the-universiad-a-spacebattler-story.238176/page-25#post-9038053 NAVCOMM]]
79
80	The aerospace arm of the Forum military. Includes the marines.
81
82	* SpaceMarine
83	* SpaceNavy
84
85	!![[http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/the-universiad-a-spacebattler-story.238176/page-14#post-8962105 Office of Special Resources (OSR)]]
86
87	The gatekeepers of the Forum's resources, as well as the spearheads who go out and acquire more of said resources - by morally murky means if necessary. Not a part of the normal military, its commanding Colonel reports direct to the Moderators rather than to military high command. Though it is composed of four directorates, it is the paramilitary Field Operations Directorate (FOD), disproportionately powerful for its small size, that is perhaps the most (in)famous of the lot; as such, unless otherwise stated, the below generally refer to FOD.
88
89	* BadassBureaucrat: The auditors of the Financial Management Directorate, otherwise known as "Salary Men", pursue financial crime with a diligence and persistence that real-world regulators would sacrifice an unhealthy amount of organs to be able to emulate.
90	* BiggerStick: Due to the OSR getting first dibs on the best technology, their operatives, equipment and spacecraft are always individually superior to anything the other service arms have.
91	* ColonelBadass: The highest rank anyone in the OSR can, in theory, hope to aspire to.
92	* ComesGreatResponsibility: In theory, the sheer amount of power and resources they command is meant to be offset by the hefty duties they must take up. In practice, some of their operatives have gotten... a little ahead of themselves.
93	* CovertGroupWithMundaneFront: Would the average person without context think "Office of Special Resources" is a very powerful intelligence/paramilitary force?
94	* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: OSR training is intended to test the mental, moral and physical limits of its trainees to the fullest, and the responsibilities of graduated operatives are heavy and many... but the abilities and privileges they get out of it are equally vast, such that the Office is rarely wanting for applicants.
95	* HeroWithBadPublicity[=/=]TokenEvilTeammate[=/=]WellIntentionedExtremist: Everything they do is for the good of the Forum. Nevertheless, there are those within the Forum or its allies who take a less than approving view of the extremes the OSR goes to. At least one character has likened them to [[Franchise/MassEffect Cerberus]]; for those of you who haven't played the games, that's '''not''' a compliment.
96	* JackOfAllTrades: The OSR is more than just a combat and special operations formation. Apart from the logistics concerns they really do handle, senior OSR operatives bear a wide range of responsibilities, including but not limited to counterintelligence, equipment testing, espionage, law enforcement, security and training.
97	* LightIsNotGood: The standard OSR battle uniform is white, which doesn't help the Cerberus comparisons in the slightest.
98	* MajorlyAwesome: Due to Gideon being The Colonel, this is the highest rank any other OSR operative (with a very few exceptions) can aspire to.
99	* ProtagonistCentredMorality: Averted; despite being the "pet" faction of Gideon (the author), they are not portrayed as always in the right and characters don't shy from delivering WhatTheHellHero lines at them. The usual response is SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids, ShutUpKirk and IDidWhatIHadToDo.
100	* TheSpartanWay: OSR training is among and some say the most brutal in the Forum. Though many details are highly classified, known aspects include being made to do mined running and obstacle courses for days without rest, live-fire exercises involving artillery and replacing targets while under fire, reliving past OSR operations and close-quarters combat courses that are rumoured to include a {{Room 101}}.
101	* StateSec: They are outside and above the chain of command of the Forum's official military services. Their leader reports direct to the Moderators. As the name suggests, they have the final word on Forum resources. They have their own intelligence and R&D arms and their technology and training is far beyond all the rest, such that even an OSR "grunt" is superior to most other Forum special forces. Only their comparatively low numbers prevent any coup attempt from being a CurbStompBattle, and even then heavy casualties are expected.
102	* TheUnfettered: Though it tries to seek a subtle solution first where possible, if push comes to shove there are very few lines OSR will not cross to accomplish their goals. Gas a slave camp? LeaveNoWitnesses as to the Forum's passing, even if it means [[WouldHurtAChild harming children and adolescents]] or any non-OSR Forumites who shouldn't have been in the way? Use themselves as {{Honey Trap}}s? Anything to advance and safeguard the Forum.
103	* VillainInAWhiteSuit: They wear white for their standard uniforms and are easily the most morally dark of the Forum's forces.
104	* WhatYouAreInTheDark: A major issue with Lone Wolves, who are inserted [[MeaningfulName alone]] years or decades ahead of even conventional recon troops and operate without oversight in order to accomplish their goals. Although Lilithium and her psychics do their best to screen operatives and prevent nutcases from rising high enough to get the responsibility, and anyone who does still has to go before Gideon himself, every now and then a closet AxCrazy slips through or someone less resilient than anticipated succumbs to the isolation and tries to set him/herself up as a warlord.
105
106	!!P.O.E.T (Pokers Of Eldritch Things)
107
108	They who [[Film/Hellboy2004 bump back when the things in the night go bump.]] Researchers into the eldritch and the Forum's primary defence against it.
109
110	* BoxedCrook: Their AEON branch contains and weaponises {{Eldritch Abomination}}s of its own for the GodzillaThreshold-crossing moments when such is the only appropriate response to the situation at hand.
111	* FunWithAcronyms: As above. All its subarms also have this sort of name.
112
113	!!Anime/{{Puella Magi\| Madoka Magica}} [[http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/the-universiad-a-spacebattler-story.238176/page-86#post-9608423 Corps]]
114
115	!!Shadow Cabal
116
117	There is no Shadow Cabal. YouDidntSeeThat.
118
119	!Individual characters (Original characters, including Originals)
120
121	!!Alisa Stanovich (Major, OSR)
122
123	[[spoiler:An OSR Lone Wolf assigned to penetrate an ''Literature/InfiniteStratos'' universe disguised as a student at the Academy and acquire IS technology, at least until [=ckk185=] became a SpannerInTheWorks.]]
124
125	* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:Except not really? Maybe.]]
126	* LargeHam
127	* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:The summary on her spoils her vital role in ckk's ''Literature/InfiniteStratos'' sidestory.]]
128
129	!!Arythios
130
131	"Chief Barkeeper/Owner/Bouncer/Hammer Time Bringer" of the Sink Hole, the oldest bar/eatery in the Forum.
132
133	* CoolOldGuy: Though he's probably not significantly older than the other Originals - after all, once you hit your first millennium, a decade's but a percentage point - he visually conforms to this image. Rumours are that it's a conscious invocation via augs and plastic surgery.
134	* SherlockScan: Can very accurately pick out details of a person's personality just by observing their behaviour and clothing.
135
136	!!Atreidestrooper (Detective, FLEETSEC)
137
138	* TheAlcoholic: Gets sloshed easily and often, though the augs help if it's an emergency and he needs to sober up fast.
139	* AlmightyJanitor
140
141	!!Azamaria Bles (???)
142
143	One of Barricade's daughters.
144
145	* BlessedWithSuck
146	* BrokenBird: Used to be a lot more outgoing before her accident.
147	* EmergencyTransformation: An accident involving [[VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders Metatron]] led to her having to be installed into a [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Murakumo unit.]]
148	* PersonOfMassDestruction
149
150	!!Barricade (Officially an independent contractor. {{Most Definitely Not A\| Villain}}n OSR Lieutenant Colonel.)
151
152	* ColonelBadass: [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Is definitely not this.]]
153	* ConsummateLiar[=/=]UnreliableExpositor: Almost everything he says has to be taken with a pinch of salt.
154	* FlawedPrototype: He pilots the prototype for the [[VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders Thoth]] Orbital Frame, which lags behind the production model in various ways. Due to bad blood between him and Gideon that has never really been resolved, repeated requests to upgrade to production standard or beyond have been deflected.
155	* GoodIsNotNice: Very much to the "not nice" side even by Forum standards.
156	* HappilyMarried
157
158	!!Blackraptor (Captain, The Jack Squadron, FLEETSEC)
159
160	* ButtMonkey: Just keeps getting into trouble, and not the kind that makes for awesome battles.
161	* ElectronicEyes: He has one. It's his sole augment, which makes him unusual in the augmentation-happy Forum.
162	* SerialRomeo: The profile on him states
163	-->-Makes a mess of himself when it comes to close relations with women he is genuinely attracted do. (sic)
164	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: With regards to his relationship with the leads of ''Anime/StarshipGirlYamamotoYohko''.
165

168	* BloodKnight
169	* ComplexityAddiction
170	* MagicKnight
171
172	!![=ckk185=] (Major General (Ret.), [=SPECTREs=], MILCOMM)
173
174	* ButtMonkey: The inevitable result of being husband to Tabane.
175	* {{Cyborg}}: Although cybernetics are common in the Forum, he is one of the few with a full-body replacement.
176	* DoNotTauntCthulhu: His "visit" to ''Infinite Stratos'' was triggered by giving a bit more lip than wise to Yukari Yakumo.
177	* EveryoneHasStandards: Freely admits to being one of the more monstrous Originals, but still had a SuddenPrincipledStand when Gideon ordered a slave camp gassed during an operation against Literature/TheDraka. Also expressed discomfort with the idea of controlling and manipulating the media.
178	* ICallItVera: Has a N7 Hurricane called "Lucky Seven".
179	* InSeriesNickname: "Dog" or some variation thereof.
180	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
181	* LawfulNeutral[=/=]UndyingLoyalty: Though he may have qualms about his orders, he will quash his own objections and carry them out unless they really irk him something fierce.
182	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Receives one from the spectre of a fallen comrade during his ''Infinite Stratos'' "visit".
183	-->"Here's what you can do: Nothing. When the chips are down, you back out of your promises. When it really matters, you fuck up. I trusted you, puppy. You said you would protect me. You said you watch my back. But you left me to the BETA, to be eaten alive. So tell us then, why should we trust you to save me/your Rabbit when you had never kept any of your promises? That you are useless?"
184	* ShellShockedVeteran: He was never the same after the Black Queen War.
185	* SirSwearsALot: He is very foul-mouthed even by the Forum's super-liberal standards.
186	* StealthExpert
187
188	!!Fallenworldful (Captain, Falling Stars)
189
190	* MagicKnight
191	* PrivateMilitaryContractors: Falling Stars sometimes accepts mercenary work.
192
193	!![=Firefinder12=] (The Deconstructors)
194
195	%%* {{Nanomachines}}
196	* ObfuscatingStupidity
197
198	!!Franz von Arkalest (P.O.E.T)
199
200	Founder and current head of P.O.E.T.

203	* ICallItVera: Has a chainsaw, sorry, [[InsistentTerminology "Heavy Hydraulic Cutter"]] he calls Betty.
204	* MadScientist
205
206	!!Frostbyght (Staff Sergeant, 1st squad, C Company, Force Recon Special Tactics Team, MILCOMM)
207
208	!!Ganti (Lieutenant, Ganti's Gundams, ???)
209
210	* AcePilot
211	* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Startling poor with pistols on foot, even objectively speaking. It is rumoured his marksmanship scores have to be fudged to keep him in active service.
212	* NonindicativeName: There are no Gundams in his unit, or used in combat in the entirety of the Forum for that matter.
213
214	!![=GhanjRho=] (Force Commander, AEF)
215
216	Current head of the AEF. Was the leader of the forces that unseated the old MILNET heads after the First Incursion.
217
218	* FourStarBadass
219	* LovecraftianSuperpower: He bears a modified form of Blacklight.
220	* ScarsAreForever
221
222	!!Gideon020 (Colonel, Field Operations Directive, OSR)
223
224	Founder of the OSR. First, current and only (so far) head of the FOD.
225
226	* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking
227	* BerserkButton: Questioning the morality and wisdom of his decisions is a quick way to a chewing-out or worse.
228	* ColonelBadass
229	* DealWithTheDevil: He's played the role of the devil to at least two characters, namely Blackraptor and [=ckk185=].
230	* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: He's the frakkin' head of the frakkin' OSR. That's about as elite as you can get in the Forum's (para)military forces.
231	* FromNobodyToNightmare: Records of who he was or what he did before he stood up the OSR are scant and sketchy, other than his being a mere Flame Trooper. However, after he made that fateful proposal, he quickly became one of the most powerful beings in the Forum, both militarily and politically. Making him use that power, on the other hand...
232	* GotVolunteered: After he proposed the creation of the OSR, the Moderators promptly shoved that responsibility on his shoulders.
233	* NecessarilyEvil: He fully expects to be considered a war criminal when the Forum returns to the Originals' universe of origin.
234	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He only calls other Originals demeaning terms like "boy" when he's seriously, seriously stressed.
235	* SuperPrototype: He is one of the 200 original OSR operatives with the X-0 augmentations, which are better than even the latest X-90s fresh out of the labs despite the gap of millennia.
236	** EvolvingWeapon: They somehow self-improve, which probably explains how they remain competitive.
237	** {{Unobtainium}}: Apparently, this is due to them being made wholly of some material the Forum can't recreate, whereas the later models only use small bits.
238	* TheUnfettered: The OSR's attitude takes after his own.
239
240	!!Ginger Maniac (Commodore, "Maniac's Marauders", Tip of the Spear, NAVCOMM)
241
242	* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Both played straight currently as a part of NAVCOMM's Tip of the Spear and averted when he was helping stand up CAOS.
243	* FourStarBadass: Technically a One, as of "now".
244	* GlassCannon: As he himself recognises, all the firepower the alpha-synth boasts comes at the cost of defence and redundancy a full-sized capship would have.
245	* KidWithTheLeash: One of his retainers is Penny Royal Eight, an AI that is... "enthusiastic" in the ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'' sense at the best of times.
246	* LightningBruiser: His synth-body is an alpha-synth from ''Literature/InFuryBorn''.
247
248	!!Gladiusone (Captain, ??? , NAVCOMM)
249
250	* {{Ambadassador}}: Formerly. The ambassador part, not the badass, that is.
251	* TheCasanova: Is somewhat infamous for this, though insists that there are several his superior in this regard. To his credit, he is entirely upfront about this, such that anyone entering a relationship with him knows what to expect.
252	* CunningLinguist
253	* InstantArmor: One of the items he regularly carries allows him to summon what looks like a suit of full plate armour.
254	* OvershadowedByAwesome: By his own reckoning, he is good at many things to the point that he would be objectively renowned anywhere else, but inferior to other Originals specialising in those fields.
255	* WarriorPoet
256
257	!![=HopelessDiamond=] (Commodore, 3rd Squadron, Silent Service, NAVCOMM. {{Most Definitely Not A\| Villain}}n OSR Senior Major.)
258
259	!!Jemnite (Major, ??? , OSR)
260
261	* ConsummateLiar
262	* IHaveManyNames
263	* JackOfAllTrades
264	* MesACrowd: A major part of his powerset.
265	* NobleDemon: He does have a sense of honour and will hold to his promises... as long as he can't RulesLawyer out of it.
266	* TheNondescript
267
268	!!Lilithium (Major, OSR)
269
270	One of the most powerful psychics in the Forum. NumberTwo to Gideon and the first of the original 200 OSR recruits.
271
272	* BoxedCrook: The first time Gideon met her, she was under arrest for delivering some messy PayEvilUntoEvil.
273	* BunnyEarsLawyer[=/=]WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Her sanity is... questionable at the best of times, but being one of the strongest psychics in the whole Forum makes her indispensable.
274	* TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: Despite her extensive expertise at psi-surgery, can't or hasn't turned it on herself.
275	* TheGunslinger: One of the best at GunsAkimbo around.
276	* PersonOfMassDestruction: Has stupendously powerful MindControl and telekinetic abilities.
277	* RedBaron: "[[TheGunslinger Pistol]] [[PsychicPowers Witch]]".
278	* SlasherSmile: A smile that bares too many teeth is just one of the obvious outward signs of her... less-than-sanity.
279
280	!!"New Guy" (???, 1st squad, C Company, Force Recon Special Tactics Team, MILCOMM)
281
282	A FNG in Frostbyght's squad.
283
284	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: No one's bothered to learn his real name.
285	* GenreBlind: He keeps TemptingFate.
286	* NewMeat
287
288	!!Norgarth (Major, Havoc Teams, MILCOMM)
289
290	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Even by Forum standards.
291	* PungeonMaster
292
293	!![=NotAlwaysFanfic=] (???)
294
295	* RetiredBadass
296
297	!!Rei Ayanami Shepard (Commander, [=SPECTREs=], MILCOMM)
298
299	An incarnation of Teh Rei who fell through a crack in reality into the Broken Lands. She is infamous for staging a coup that broke the Spectres from OSR control into MILCOMM hands, something Gideon and co. have never really forgiven her for.
300
301	!!Salazar (???)
302
303	!!Shibosho (Detective, FLEETSEC)
304
305	* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's patient and long-tempered, but don't test it.
306	* CoolMask
307	* EnergyBeings: One of his powers allows him to transform into one.
308	* FlyingBrick
309	* HandBlast
310	* HealingFactor
311	* PlayingWithFire
312	* PowerOfTheSun: His powers run on absorption of solar energy.
313	* SplitPersonality: He has one that calls himself "Yoshikawa Shikoto", a HotBlooded ForGreatJustice sort.
314	* SugarAndIcePersonality
315
316	!!Shiki Emiya (Senior Researcher / Lieutenant, Department of Development, Analysis, and Testing, OSR)
317
318	* AccidentalPervert: His Fast Sealing Liquid invention bears an uncomfortable resemblance to a certain white sticky goo.
319	* TheKlutz
320	* SugarAndIcePersonality
321	* StealthExpert[=/=]StealthHiBye: Very good at disappearing and staying that way, even by OSR and Original standards. All the more impressive for not actually being an on-record infiltration or recon specialist.
322
323	!!Silver sun 17 (???)
324
325	!![=Spencer1519=] (Captain, ???, MILCOMM)
326
327	* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Is an explosives specialist.

330
331	!!Verthantine (???)
332
333	* SharpDressedMan
334
335	!!Warp L. Obscura (Commodore (Dr), 441st Squadron, CAOS, NAVCOMM)
336
337	* BadassBookworm: Still looks like a harmless intellectual. Doesn't speak much, is unfailingly polite when he does so. Make an enemy of him at your own peril.
338	* TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: Psychologist and psychiatrist. Barely short of clinical.
339	%%* CulturedWarrior: Is an artist.
340	* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Averted with his CAOS membership.
341	%%* HappilyMarried
342	* ItsWhatIDo: Expresses no regrets about being a killer.
343	%%* JackOfAllTrades
344	* ObfuscatingInsanity: Inverted. He does a pretty good job of acting normal in front of others, but audio captures have revealed that he starts spouting {{Cloudcuckoolander}}esque non sequitur phrases if he thinks there's no one watching.
345	* RedBaron: "[[StealthExpert St. Elmo's]] [[KillItWithFire Fire]]".
346	* RetiredMonster: Used to have far fewer qualms when he was younger.
347	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: His profile mentions that a variety of canonical {{Stealth Expert}}s have gone on record to deny teaching him anything.
348
349	!!Warpcy (Researcher / Lieutenant)
350
351	* NoSocialSkills: Can be very inappropriately blunt, such as not understanding why removing fear and inhibition from others is a bad idea.
352
353	!Individual characters (from existing fiction)
354
355	!![[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon Alma]] (Lieutenant, OSR)
356
357	!![[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Applejack]]
358
359	* {{Determinator}}: Astoundingly unwilling to admit defeat even by the very high standards of the Forum.
360	* ForcedTransformation: Was inadvertently turned human on her arrival in the Broken Lands.
361	%%* LeeroyJenkins
362
363	!![[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Celestia]]
364
365	* SkilledButNaive: She was this back in the Black Queen War. Her younger self, while still stupendously powerful, naively held out for a cure to the Plague where far more experienced and hardened Forumers had established the impossibility of doing so. Reactions varied widely from admiration of her tenacity to derision. Centuries later in "present-day" Equestria, she still clings onto that belief.
366
367	!![[Literature/InfiniteStratos Chifuyu Orimura]]
368
369	* BadassNormal: Is so much of a MasterSwordsman she can give ckk a run for his money.
370
371	!![[Franchise/MassEffect Garrus Vakarian]] (Director, FLEETSEC)
372
373	* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Even back in the First Incursion he was competitive with Forum marksmen thousands of years his senior, and time has only made him sharper.
374
375	!![[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Homura Akemi]]
376
377	* PoorCommunicationKills: Has blown up (sometimes literally) over Madoka doing things with Forum citizens that Madoka willingly went into.
378
379	!![[Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero Louise Valliere]]
380
381	!![[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Luna]]
382
383	!![[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka Kaname]]
384
385	* PalsWithJesus: With her as the deity.
386
387	!![[Literature/InfiniteStratos Tabane Shinonono]] (Technically an AlternateUniverse version)
388
389	* BeyondTheImpossible:
390	** The Forum code running [=ckk185=]'s cyberbrain among others has been tested and proofed against hackers and intrusion [=AI=]s over thousands of years of attempts. Thus, a successful hack, much less by someone who'd never seen Forum code before, was considered impossible. Enter Tabane, who hacked it swiftly in her EstablishingCharacterMoment.
391	** She does again later by managing to make a hack attempt even after he turned off the wireless.
392	* BitchInSheepsClothing[=/=]JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Looks sweet from afar, which dissolves quickly when strangers approach. But earn her respect or affection and you'll learn that the first facade is not really a facade.
393	* [[spoiler:EmergencyTransformation: By the time ckk and the Forum reinforcements got to her, she had been fatally wounded and the medical equipment on hand could not save her. So she was sped into becoming a Forum citizen, [[DeathIsCheap with the benefit that involves.]]]]
