12
13	[[folder:Phighters, in General]]
14	* BizarreAlienReproduction: The Spawn is a magical fountain that spits out demons, [[BornAsAnAdult fully-formed and at least as intelligent as a ten year old child]]. Two demons may approach the spawn and sacrifice their gears to it, birthing them a biological child (gods can do this as well, but retain their gears afterwards).
15	* HornedHumanoid: All Phighters except Hyperlaser have unique horns.
16	* OneGenderRace: All demons in Phighting are agender, but they do have preferred pronouns.
17	* WeaponSpecialization: Each Phighter has a unique gear to their name.

21
22	[[folder:Sword]]
23	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sword_1.png]]
24	-> ''"Prepare yourself!"''
25	Sword is a versatile melee Phighter, efficient at close range combat yet limited in long range. His stats are well-rounded, being a common choice with newcomers. With 150 health and 50 shield, Sword can maneuver well using his abilities, and can fare well alone in a fight.
26	----
27	* ArmorPiercingAttack: Sword's secondary attack pierces through shields.
28	* CallingYourAttacks: If Sword kills an enemy using Dolphin Slash, he will yell out "Dolphin Slash."
29	* CoolSword: His gear. And his name.
30	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: If Sword uses his Phinisher and is too close to the resulting explosion, he may accidentally die.
31	* JackOfAllStats: Sword has balanced health and shield, excellent mobility, and his attacks deal a decent amount of damage. Alongside this, his Passive, Spirit of the Sword, grants him a temporary shield.
32	* {{Shotoclone}}: Sword has a [[KamehameHadoken projectile attack]] (his secondary, Blade Beam), a [[{{Shoryuken}} rising anti-air]] (his Q ability, Dolphin Slash), and an [[DashAttack attack that rushes forward]] (his E ability, Lunge).
33	* SwordBeam: Sword's secondary attack.
34	* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Sword's Phinisher has him throw his sword, either into a surface or at the nearest enemy. [[StuffBlowingUp The sword then explodes]]. It is then returned to his hand.
35	[[/folder]]
36
37	[[folder:Skateboard]]
38	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/skateboard.png]]
39	-> ''"Watch this trick!"''
40	Skateboard is a melee Phighter who specializes in mobility and burst damage. He is exceptionally speedy while on his skateboard, playing well on larger maps, and performing remarkably at hit-and-runs. While off his skateboard, however, he is sluggish and vulnerable. Taking more than 35 damage takes Skateboard off of Skating mode and into Standing mode, so watch out!
41	----
42	* CoolBoard: Self-explanatory.
43	* FragileSpeedster: Skateboard only has 75 health and shield points each, below average for a melee Phighter. Hit-and-run attacks are his specialty, and if one were to play him as they would a Phighter such as Sword, they would not fare well.
44	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Skateboards aren’t meant for murder!
45	[[/folder]]
46
47	[[folder:Biograft]]
48
49	%%please use they/them for biograft
50
51	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/biograft_2.png]]
52	-> ''"MEET YOUR DEMISE!"''
53	Biograft is a melee Phighter with a high damage output, mobility, yet low health. With the lowest amount of hitpoints ingame at 25 health and 100 shield, players using Biograft pressure enemies while utilizing Biograft's mobility to minimize the damage they take. One must be skilled to play Biograft effectively, as they are the least beginner friendly Phighter.
54	----
55	* CapsLock: Biograft's dialogue is written in caps lock as a stylistic choice, for they are a robot.
56	* DeathOrGloryAttack: Biograft's Phinisher, Overdrive, Boosts their damage and attack speed along with regaining shield upon kills or assists, but constantly chips away at their hp. Downplayed as Biograft can recast Overdrive to end the attack and explode, damaging nearby opponents.
57	* GlassCannon: They excel in dealing rapid amounts of heavy damage, but have the lowest health and shield compared to the rest of the Phighters. To top it off, they have a heat meter that allows them to attack faster, but will cause them to explode if it reaches its capacity.
58	* MathematiciansAnswer: In dialogue with Hyperlaser.
59	--> '''Hyperlaser''': Which Biograft am I with this time?
60	--> '''Biograft''': ME.
61	--> '''Hyperlaser''': [[SarcasmMode Very informative]].
62	* RobotSoldier: There is an entire army of Biografts, all created by Subspace. They were all built with the intent of being [[KillerRobot killing machines]].
63
64	[[/folder]]
65
66	[[folder:Katana]]
67	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tana_7.png]]
68	-> ''"For broken honor... and retribution."''
69	Katana is a melee Phighter whose gameplay style is centered around pulling enemies in and keeping them from escaping. With high damage output and a large amount of hitpoints, Katana performs well on the frontline. He, however, is the slowest character in-game, has poor mobility, and limited ranged attacks.
70	----
71	* CounterAttack: Katana's E ability slows him down and negates damage. If the damage received is at least 10, Katana attacks with the damage dealt depending on how much he counted.
72	* TheGrappler: Katana is the slowest character in-game, but once an enemy gets within his grasp, it's hard to escape him. He can pull in enemies using his Q ability, Thread Tow, and attack them there.
73	* {{Samurai}}: Self-explanatory.
74	[[/folder]]
75
76	[[folder:Banhammer]]
77	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/banhammer_6.png]]
78	--> ''"Your verdict is... Guilty!"''
79	----
80	* BlindfoldedVision: Banhammer wears a blindfold [[IAmNotLeftHanded to challenge himself]].
81	* BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: Banhammer [[WardensAreEvil rules Banland with an iron fist]], is violent, not one to back down from a fight, and he carries around a large hammer.
82	* CarryABigStick: Banhammer's gear and main form of attack is a hammer.
83	* LightningBruiser: Banhammer deals quite a lot of damage, is able to tank a lot of damage, with 75 health and 180 shield. He, however, cannot regenerate his shield naturally. And since shield cannot be replenished by support Phighters, players using him have to be careful as to not tank too much damage.
84	* SpinAttack: Banhammer's E ability.
85	* WardensAreEvil: He is the tyrannical warden of Banlands, and [[CardCarryingVillain proud of it, too]].
86	[[/folder]]
87
88	!! Ranged Phighters
89
90	[[folder:Rocket]]
91	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rocket.png]]
92	-> ''"It's showtime!"''
93	Rocket is a ranged Phighter with exceptional AOE damage and DPS. He performs well at a mid-ranged distance, mounts heavy constant pressure, and can tear large chunks out of a vulnerable enemy's hitpoints. He is quite squishy, however, as he only has 50 health and can be damaged by his own abilities.
94	----
95	* HappilyAdopted: Rocket is the adopted son of Zuka. He even trims his horns to resemble Zuka’s.
96	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His attacks affect him as well as his enemies, and he can very easily die to his own attacks if one is not careful.
97	* RocketJump: As Rocket's name suggests, he is able to do this. Heck, his Q ability is called Rocket Jump. You can pair this with his Secondary attack to jump even higher.
98	* ThrowDownTheBomblet: As Rocket's name suggests, his main form of attack is bombs and explosives, and his gear is a rocket launcher.
99	[[/folder]]
100
101	[[folder:Slingshot]]
102	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/slingshot.png]]
103	-> ''"Better dodge!" / "Can't catch me!"''
104	Slingshot is a very versatile ranged Phighter with amazing haste, utilizing this to his advantage depending on playstyle. He is one of the fastest Phighters, with a bullet speed of 0.1 seconds and performing well at mid-ranged distances. Slingshot is great for players who want a character who is fast and easy to use. He, however, is quite squishy, with only 100 health and 50 shield. And despite his great mobility, most of his attacks require him to stay in place, creating good openings for enemies to come in for the kill.
105	----
106	* ArmorPiercingAttack: Slingshot's Phinisher pierces through walls and shields.
107	* FragileSpeedster: His abilities are focused around moving fast and hitting hard. The only thing keeping him from being a LightningBruiser instead is a squishy 150 total hp.
108	[[/folder]]
109
110	[[folder:Hyperlaser]]
111	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/laserhyper.png]]
112	-> ''"I'll see you in hell."''
113	Hyperlaser is a ranged Phighter with an exceptional attack distance and power for his range. His gameplay style is focused around sniping from far distances, as he is slow and has trouble attacking from close ranges. With 75 health and 100 shield, he can tank a good chunk of damage. His Phinisher, Eviscerating Ray, is a OneHitKill attack, and as long as he lands a shot, he can get another.
114	----
115	* BarrierBustingBlow: If a Hyperlaser shoots a Boombox while his Protecting Overtone is up, it gets rid of the shield entirely, and [[AntiFrustrationFeatures grants Hyperlaser another bullet to shoot]].
116	* ColdSniper: Hyperlaser is a stoic and cold mercenary who gets the job done, sniping enemies down with ease.
117	* TheFaceless: He sports a helmet that covers his face entirely. Furthermore, all art drawn of him without his helmet has his face obscured with a CensorBox.
118	* OneHitKill: His Phinisher, if landed, kills the enemy instantly.
119	* ProfessionalKiller: Hyperlaser, as mentioned earlier, is a mercenary. He has the highest kill count of every Phighter.
120	* WeaponizedTeleportation: Hyperlaser's E ability, Voltaic Phase, creates a small explosion around him after he teleports.
121	[[/folder]]
122
123	[[folder:Shuriken]]
124	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shuriken.png]]
125	-> ''"Time to pick up the pace!"''
126	----
127	* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish sibling to Vine Staff. Often has to be told to stop playing around.
128	[[/folder]]
129
130	[[folder:Scythe]]
131	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scythe_1.png]]
132	-> ''"Leaving so soon?" / "May I have this dance?"''
133	Scythe is a ranged Phighter who excels in versatility thanks to her ability to swap back and forth between a melee-oriented playstyle and a ranged-oriented playstyle, making her able to perform well both at close-range and from a distance. However, with 75 HP behind her 75 shield, she's fairly squishy, and she may require some strategizing from players to determine which of her two kits will best suit whatever situation she's in. %% for the HP and shield part, it's not yet updated in Crossroads (where it still says she has 100 HP and 50 shield) last I checked, but it is updated in actual matches
134	----
135	* BattleTrophy: Apparently Scythe takes her victims' horns as trophies, as implied in one of her possible exchanges with Vine Staff.
136	--> '''Scythe:''' I think yer horns would make for a fabulous addition to my wall.
137	--> '''Vine Staff:''' W-What?
138	--> '''Scythe:''' Nothin’.
139	* CombatStilettos: Scythe wears high-heeled riding boots (which she simply calls “heels”) as part of her outfit. She doesn't have any problems fighting with them on.
140	* ImpliedDeathThreat: After Rocket calls her a "serial-killing, cult-worshipping psychopath," she makes what could very well be one of these towards Zuka.
141	--> '''Scythe:''' Let's just say that yer father would receive a very unfortunate package if ya keep talkin' like that.
142	* TheMostWanted: Scythe is the most wanted Phighter. It's also the name of her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJf_hm3WgL8&list=OLAK5uy_naoioGxid0eCYYqESj9WEMXay6LPbnnhs&index=1 trailer's song]].
143	* SerialKiller: She's confirmed to be one in her lore. This is also acknowledged by Rocket[[note]]who’s also aware of her being a cult member and psychopath in general[[/note]] in one of their possible match intro exchanges, which Scythe responds to by telling him to watch his mouth and making her aforementioned vague threat regarding Zuka.
144	* SpinAttack: Her rifle Phinisher, Final Serenade, has her start rapid-firing bullets while spinning around before ending by shooting a higher-damage blast.
145	* SwissArmyWeapon: Her weapon is a combination of a scythe and an automatic rifle. Her M2 ability, Switcheroo, allows her to swap back and forth between using either form of her weapon.
146	%% [request] is anyone able to find any tropes related to characters being theatrical in their entrances, dialogue, actions, etc.?
147	%% i don't think this is a form of teleportation but i can see where you're coming from. i'll try to find a trope suitable for it
148	%% (the description for Stalking Ambush explicitly calls it teleportation: "Become invisible for 15 seconds and be able to teleport to and apply your target to a nearby enemy.")
149	%% oh sick. that's my bad then
150	* WeaponizedTeleportation: The Phinisher she uses when using her scythe, Stalking Ambush, has her turn invisible, teleport to a nearby enemy, and slash at and apply her target to them immediately afterwards.
151	[[/folder]]
152
153	!! Support Phighters
154
155	[[folder:Medkit]]
156	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/medkit.png]]
157	-> ''"Let's not do that again."''
158	----
159	* CombatMedic: Although he despises his occupation as a medic, he is incredibly proficient at healing. Medkit is effective in both attack and support, dealing both damage and healing allies with ease.
160	* DontCallMeSir: Medkit tells Katana to not call him "Doctor" in one of their dialogue exchanges.
161	%% [add later] EyepatchOfPower: Medkit sports an eyepatch after having lost his eye to Subspace in their final falling-out. He has it better than the other.
162	* HealingShiv: His form of attack is a gun filled with healing cartridges—curing cartridges, as they are called. They heal allies, but deal damage to enemies.
163	* OnlySaneMan: Medkit works with Scythe and The Broker, both of whom are definitely less than sane.
164	* WeaponizedTeleportation: Medkit's Q ability, Crystal Shift, teleports him to an ally, creating an explosion.
165	[[/folder]]
166
167	[[folder:Boombox]]
168	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/boombox_6.png]]
169	-> ''"Let's lay down the beat!"''
170	Boombox is a support Phighter who excels in crowd control with his knockback and defense-based abilities. He efficiently controls the battlefield, and his shield-centered abilities make him a popular choice for frontlining players.
171	----
172	* BarrierWarrior: Boombox's E ability, Protecting Overtone, creates a temporary barrier around him, rendering him invulnerable to bullets and long-range attacks.
173	* GroundPound: Boombox's Q ability, Bass Boost / Beat Drop has him jump into the air, pulling enemies in, and then deals damage as he slams back down again.
174	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Boomboxes are not typically considered weapons.
175	* MagicMusic: Boombox's attacks give his allies boosts and shield bonuses.
176	* MakeSomeNoise: His gear and form of attack is, well, a boombox. The player has to [[RhythmGame hit beats to a metronome]] to create shockwave-like attacks.
177	* ShieldBash: The player can use his E ability while it's still up to destroy it and deal damage to any enemies in front.
178	* ShockwaveStomp: Boombox's Phinisher, Raining Tacos, has him jump into the air and land back down, creating a shockwave that not only deals damage to enemies and [[{{Knockback}} sends them flying back]], but also grants a temporary shield that makes allies nigh-invulnerable.
179	* ShoutOut: The audio that plays when Boombox's Phinisher is activated is the first 2 seconds of the song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npjF032TDDQ Raining Tacos]], a reference to how Raining Tacos was the default song that played on the Boombox gear when used ingame, and to how it was the most popular audio available on Roblox.

182	[[folder:Subspace]]
183	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/subspace.png]]
184	-> ''"My greatest invention!!"''
185	----
186	* EvilIsHammy: All of his dialogue ends in double exclamation marks. When he asks questions, it ends in an interrobang.
187	* MadScientist: He is the head scientist and engineer of Blackrock, and his intentions are... less than noble.
188	* TrapMaster: Subspace specializes in area denial, littering invisible mines across the map that explode and inflict DamageOverTime.
189	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His attacks affect him as well as his enemies, and he can very easily die to his own attacks if one is not careful.

192	[[folder:Vine Staff]]
193	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vinestaff.png]]
194	-> ''"Nature prevails!"''
195	----
196	* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The responsible sibling to Shuriken. Reminds him in dialogue to use his head this time.
197	* PetalPower: Her main form of attack (and healing!) are flower petals she shoots from her gear, the Vine Staff.
198	* {{Transflormation}}: Vine Staff is cursed, and her left arm has been turned into wood.

241	* FakingTheDead: The Broker has faked his death multiple times to escape police.
242	* FeelNoPain: Broker has lost his sense of touch and taste due to nerve damage.
243	* HatedByAll: Despite Broker's assumption that everyone wants to be his friend, the Phighters dislike him to varying degrees.
244	* JerkassToOne: Despite his supposed friendliness, he despises Ban Hammer and Katana, calling Katana a "filthy traitor" and hating Ban Hammer for [[WardensAreEvil imprisoning him.]]
245	* MistakenForPrankCall: If the player calls Broker while playing as Biograft, Broker doesn't find it believable and tells you to not call again.
246	* StalkerWithoutACrush: While using the phone in the lobby, he will respond differently depending on which character calls, sometimes resulting in stalker-like dialogue.
247	** If Slingshot calls, he says "Sometimes I watch you cook from the windows. But don't worry about that!"
248	** If Skateboard or Boombox calls, he says "I know you, but you don't know me."
