| 6 | An [[AntiHero Anti-Heroic]] child of a forbidden union between a race of theocratic and decadent [[MageSpecies magically-empowered]] nobility and their human slaves, who himself is enslaved by said noble race, and during said slavery obtains the magic power of the ruling elite. He ends up using his charisma and wits to gather up a RagtagBunchOfMisfits of magic-users, using these people to start a [[SlaveLiberation rebellion]] against the aforementioned noble race utilizing the very same power they are uniquely endowed with against them. His true goal, however, is to [[KillTheGod kill the being that this noble race worships as a god]]. He however fails in this goal, and dies in a HeroicSacrifice, resulting in him becoming the DarkMessiah of a religion that eventually begins to forget his original teachings. His crew, who all outlive him, include: |
| 7 | |
| 8 | A young girl from a criminal background, whose life is saved by the DarkMessiah who becomes her ParentalSubstitute and mentor. She becomes the infiltration expert of the crew, becoming used to stealth, subterfuge, and [[DeviousDaggers knives]]. |

| 10 | A GentleGiant from a violent background, whose powers are based around his strength. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | [[DefectorFromDecadence A member of the aforementioned nobility]]. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | A wise eunuch from a distant land, with a DarkAndTroubledPast who's a mentor figure to the DarkMessiah. |

| 19 | * This classic VillainProtagonist does not show many signs of insanity, so long as the situation is unrelated to his nemesis. That's when it becomes clear that he's a complete madman, constantly doomed by his own self-destructive, fanatical obsession with getting vengeance on a particular animal. This is no ordinary animal, though; the powers its species naturally bears are impressive enough to make hunting them a great challenge on their own, but even more than that, this creature seems to operate outside of the normal bounds of nature so as to make it impossible for any hunter to get their hands on it.\ |

| 21 | * An immortal evil entity with immense RealityWarper powers who's nevertheless so incompetent that it's difficult to ever actually be scared of him. He is eternally tormented by a boy who's a KindheartedSimpleton and doesn't really get that he's supposed to be evil, and an EnfantTerrible little girl who's significantly eviler than he is.\ |

| 23 | * Raised in a family with a traditional job that involved lots of crime and violence, this character never wanted to be a part of "the life", but didn't really get a choice; every time he tried to get out, the life kept pulling him back in, and he ended up destroying much of what he kept trying to protect in the process.\ |

| 30 | * A regally-bred brunette DeviousDaggers, whose given name is a variation of "Elizabeth," has potentially lethal abilities, which are extraordinary even within her WorldOfBadass, and which have been allowed to develop out of control. When she was a child, evil forces tried to use her as a TykeBomb, and her father is an evil, power-hoarding royal. She has been kept in the dark about her true lineage and powers, and is Not Amused when she learns the extent to which she has been deceived. She is a reluctant ChosenOne who resents rules and will usually TakeAThirdOption in a crisis. She’s a relatively young member of a race of near-immortals, and her relative inexperience sometimes leads her to make rash decisions she later regrets. Exercising her powers affects the color of her eyes. Her lover (who lost their previous lover to a BigBad with a penchant for GrandTheftMe) taught her to control her powers and has a DarkAndTroubledPast, and her best friend is a DeadpanSnarker and a former thief. Her story has a [[CastFullOfGay Cast Full of Queer]].\ |

| 33 | * This centuries-old HistoricalDomainCharacter in a [[TheatreOfThe2010s musical of the 2010s]] is a [[TheCharmer charismatic]], politically [[ToBeAMaster ambitious]], SophisticatedAsHell SocialClimber who has a gift for words—and, unfortunately, [[FatalFlaw a bad habit]] of [[HotBlooded shooting off their mouth]] to the [[TrashTalk wrong person]] at the wrong time. Their first name begins with the letter "A" and they wear a green costume. Historically, they were a central player in a schism with global consequences that continue to affect present-day politics on every level, but their enemies destroyed their reputation and they died violently well before their time. However, they left a legacy that was at least as influential, and arguably more so, than that of any of their rivals.\ |

| 36 | [[AC: Alignment]] |
| 37 | * A man with ties to academia who went traveling and came back deeply changed as a person, due to (possibly supernatural) effects on his psyche. He's notable for both his interesting hat, and the fact he turns out to be more or less carrying a second person's face on his head. The second person is someone he defers to as a boss or mentor, and whom the protagonist kills shortly after the nature of the hat and face are revealed. \ |
| 38 | Now, is his name '''[[Literature/HarryPotter 'Quirrell']]''', with two Ls? Or '''[[VideoGame/HollowKnight 'Quirrel']]''', with one? |
| 39 | * A [[CreepyChild childlike]] [[EnfantTerrible antagonist]] derived or incarnated from another character, acting under the main villain and directing lesser minions on his behalf. Their existence is tied to a [[MagicMirror magic mirror]], but they are otherwise incredibly difficult to harm. When the mirror is finally shattered, they spend their final moments betraying the villain(s) that summoned them to [[DeathEqualsRedemption aid the heroes instead]]. \ |
| 40 | Is this '''[[Manga/TheLegendOfZeldaFourSwords2004 Shadow Link]]''' from the Four Swords Adventures Manga, or '''[[Manga/InuYasha Kanna]]''' from Inuyasha? |
| 41 | * A playable nonhuman video game character with a DarkAndTroubledPast, created as part of a [[TykeBomb secretive government project]] to stop a deadly disease. When the project ended, they were locked away and separated from their now-dead creator, and eventually had their memories [[LaserGuidedAmnesia erased and/or tampered with]] before their in-game debut. [[PoweredByAForsakenChild Countless innocents]] were doomed as a byproduct of their creation, and at least one boss in their origin game is another, bigger creation from the same project gone [[PsychoPrototype out of control]]. They're an [[SuperSoldier incredibly dangerous combatant]] that can use the setting's magic [[{{Phlebotinum}} (or closest equivalent)]], might be functionally immortal, and in at least one ending of a game they're in they basically [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu fight a god and win]]. Part of their potential character arc in their game involves choosing whether or not to follow the legacy of their terrible biological father (doing so constitutes one of the less desirable endings), and they are both antagonized and aided by a descendant of their creator who wears red. They are addressed at least once by some variation of "Shadow". \ |
| 42 | Is this character '''[[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Shadow the Hedgehog]]''' from the Sonic franchise, or '''[[VideoGame/HollowKnight The Knight]]''' from Hollow Knight? |
| 43 | * A nonhuman [[CainAndAbel brother and sister]] living in an alien, post-apocalyptic world. Though geographically isolated, they communicate with friends and peers by some form of instant messaging or chat, displayed as color coded chatlogs in-universe. Due to their nonhuman nature, they are permanently trapped at close quarters to one another, but physically incapable of being in the same room together under normal circumstances. The sister is gentle and soft-spoken, while the brother is at least a little bit of an asshole. Eventually, the brother's actions lead to the sister's (temporary) death and his own permanent self-inflicted injury, and other, more protagonist-y characters help the sister by bringing her a [[{{Macguffin}} macguffin]] of some sort to revive her. At at least one point in canon, the two are depicted [[SmartPeoplePlayChess playing board games together]], using technology to compensate for their inability to play together face-to-face. \ |

| 47 | * We have a crusty but lovable older character from a Disney cartoon show who lives by themselves in a run-down house on the outskirts of a town full of strange characters and supernatural weirdness. Their only companions are a sarcastic freeloader with a heart of gold and an amiable CloudCuckoolander, at least one of whom sees them as a parental figure. They make a living through various shady means, mostly misrepresenting old junk as rare and valuable artifacts. They end up getting attached to the young protagonist(s) despite their grumpy and cynical nature. They've got a number of dark secrets, including a troubled history with a long-lost sibling of theirs (though in both cases they eventually reconcile with said sibling), and they end up helping fight a VillainWithGoodPublicity who has plans involving an interdimensional portal, and later [[ImmortalImmaturity a childish immortal being with unimaginable power and a skewed moral compass]] who briefly turns the heroes' hometown into their personal playground.\ |
| 48 | Are we talking about '''[[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Stan Pines]]''' or '''[[WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse Edalyn Clawthorne]]'''? |
| 49 | * We've got the protagonist of a Creator/CartoonNetwork original series that was popular in the 2010s. He's an enthusiastic, BookDumb, but kind-hearted and heroic young man who matures both physically and mentally over the course of his series. He never knew his biological mother growing up, his biological father is a charismatic but irresponsible slacker with long hair in the back and a bald spot up top, and it's only late in life that our hero learns one of his parents was involved in morally-questionable things. He was mostly raised by a well-meaning but flawed non-human surrogate family, including a rough-and-tumble sibling figure to whom he's extremely close. His adventures (which involved a lot of weird monsters and the occasional world-ending threat) have forced him to learn to cope with trauma and loss, and at one point his self-doubt got so bad it turned him into a literal monster.\ |
| 50 | '''[[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Finn "The Human" Mertens]]''' or '''[[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Steven Quartz Cutie-Pie Demayo Diamond Universe]]'''? |
| 51 | * We've got a guy who's the main character of an action-comedy manga. [[RetiredMonster Once a ruthless career criminal]] regarded as [[TheAce one of the best in the business]], he decided to [[LoveRedeems give it all up for love]] and [[RetiredBadass settle down into a more peaceful lifestyle]]. Though he doesn't go looking for trouble, he has a bad habit of running into nasty people from his past. However, [[BadassPacifist though he doesn't believe in killing, he's more than able to deal with any threats]]. He also has a former subordinate who's trying to learn this new way of life.\ |

| 55 | * A hard-working employee who absolutely loves his job working for a greedy boss who relies heavily on the former to keep his business afloat. The employee remains [[UndyingLoyalty unflinchingly loyal]] to his boss despite the fact the latter would screw him over in a heartbeat ''and has''. The two also have a pseudo-father-son relationship.\ |

| 59 | * Because of an eccentric elderly figure he was supposed to trust, a male teenager is affected by a fantastic event, which causes him to be put through various unsettling situations, including being forcibly kissed by someone he's absolutely revulsed of being kissed by. He also has to face a school bully that harasses someone he has to protect, is pursued by a female character he wants to get rid of, is involved in matchmaking, and has to disguise himself and to take an alias at least once. For a bit of trivia, he has the same French voice actor as Roger Rabbit. '''[[Film/BackToTheFuture1 Marty McFly]]''' or '''[[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ranma Saotome]]'''? |
| 60 | * These entities are the physical manifestation of their owner's soul, and so they're usually attached to their owner, but their personality, if they have one, sometimes differ from their owner's. They can fight each other, and any damage done to them is also done to their owner, which means that when their owner dies, they also die/disappear, and vice versa. One person can only have one of them at a time. '''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure JJBA's stands]]''' or '''[[Literature/HisDarkMaterials His Dark Material's daemons]]''' ? |

He served as TheDragon at one point and goes through a HeelFaceTurn against the BigBad at least once in a technical CivilWar. He is also [[EyeScream at least partially blind in one eye]]. \ |

| 66 | * A [[AmbitionIsEvil highly ambitious]] and intelligent lawyer and politician known to some as Alex, who played a large role in the history and politics of a country which had then-recently declared and fought for independence from an empire, and served as a member of the presidential cabinet in said country. He also lost a DuelToTheDeath to another man of whom he is a {{foil}} to, and eventually [[LegacySeeker grew unhealthily obsessed with his own legacy]], ''and'' was subjected to an IcarusAllusion at one point, however minor it may be.\ |
| 67 | Did the man have [[Theatre/{{Hamilton}} one life]] or [[WebVideo/DreamSMP three]]? |
| 68 | * A youth who lives in a world where sacrificing people for the greater good of the tyrannical ruling entity is the norm, with parents who are not present (either physically or emotionally) and a close dynamic with a younger sibling -- opnely swearing to protect them, being put into a life-threatening situation involving said sibling, being willing to [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifice themself]] for said younger sibling… only for said younger sibling to die anyway, and not to the tyrannical ruling entity at that. They also adopt their late younger sibling's pet after said sibling's death, and still manage to find and EarnYourHappyEnding (or at least a Bittersweet one) in AWorldHalfFull.\ |

| 74 | * The leader and most powerful member by a long shot of a group of god-like, [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience color-coded beings]], whose associated color is white. They take up a sort of parental figure to the others, but impose their high standards in a toxic manner. They have an unshakeable belief in their own perfection, and think that beings who don't meet their standards do not deserve to exist. Their source of power comes from their eyes, and their default stance resembles a T-pose.\ |

| 78 | * Upon her arrival at a new school, a seemingly mundane teenage girl meets multiple supernatural creatures (who can be described roughly as [[CantArgueWithElves like humans, but better in every way]]") and is gradually drawn into their world. Along the way, she "[[StoryBreakerPower wins]] the SuperpowerLottery, acquires an UnwantedHarem (eventually ending up with one of them), cuts all ties with her human friends and family, and drinks a lot of blood. But it's okay, because VampiresAreSexGods.\ |

| 81 | * An ambitious, [[WiseBeyondTheirYears deceptively intelligent]] teenager takes refuge with (and later becomes leader of) a [[ProudWarriorRace tough,]] self-sufficient tribe of nomads who believe his/her existence is prophesied. The teenager uses this tribe as a stepping stone to greater power, conquering many people with it and becoming TheDreaded. They bear great hatred towards the cruel, gluttonous man who murdered their parents, and their ultimate goal is to reclaim their rightful place in society. Unfortunately, their [[TheChainsOfCommanding powerful status]] and willingness to commit atrocities in order to achieve said goal also results in many despising them and the lack of any real friends. They struggle with feelings of loneliness and failure. Both of these characters come from noble bloodlines, and their families' sigils are both a winged animal of some kind.\ |

| 84 | * The viewpoint character is a brash, fearless ActionGirl who's been, since childhood, the bodyguard of a compassionate, supernaturally empowered girl. The latter girl is heir to a noble family, and is attacked frequently by rival members of the aristocracy. Their intertwined subplots involve the ActionGirl learning to balance her devotion to duty with her desire for romance and a normal life, and the heiress becoming truly independent, overcoming the machinations of those who try to manipulate her and learning how to use her incredible healing abilities. Both stories have a ''truckload'' of LesYay.\ |

The brunette is unfairly distrusted by his fellow felines because of his parentage, but all ends well: he finds happiness with the redhead and eventually becomes next-in-line to be leader.\ |

| 90 | * A group of quirky teenagers with various DarkAndTroubledPast[=s=] fight against [[ScrewDestiny fate]] and their own madness as they learn about [[ComingOfAgeStory life]], themselves, and the PowerOfFriendship. They are led in this by a HotBlooded boy who is hiding a DarkSecret from them, which they eventually learn about and accept. One of the teenage girls is a [[DeadAllAlong ghost]] who was killed tragically by a loved one and struggles with feelings of bitterness and futility. She looks normal, for the most part, but has ram horns on her head. Another is very skilled at combat, and acts proud and tough to hide her feelings of insecurity and regret- which were partially caused by an abusive family member. She loves playing games, but cheats all the time. The other kids find it difficult to trust her. This is a very long, very complex story where AnyoneCanDie- but it also makes use of DeathIsCheap and cosmic ResetButton[=s.=] The plot has many horror elements, but is ultimately quite idealistic.\ |
| 91 | Are the teenagers ''[[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry human]]'' or ''[[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} trolls]]''? |

| 93 | * The young, naive protagonist is taken from their home and brutally tortured. He/she manages to survive and escape this ordeal because of a DeusExMachina (which incidentally makes them exceedingly rich), but become [[BreakTheCutie bitter and amoral]] because of the trauma inflicted on them. They resolve to take revenge on their captors, and [[TheChessmaster enact an elaborate plan of psychological attack to do so]]. Along the way, they meet with an old LoveInterest from their childhood, indirectly hurt multiple innocent people in the name of The Plan, and visit a desert. The character is coldhearted and very knowledgeable, if a bit...eccentric where the supernatural is concerned.\ |

| 98 | * A black-haired, [[TheStoic stonefaced]] girl devotes herself to protecting a ChildhoodFriend who saved her life when they were young. She does this partly to repay them and partly to [[LivingEmotionalCrutch give purpose]] to her life, which has been exceedingly traumatic up till now: a world she lives in is ''not'' a [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism pleasant]] one. The fans commonly argue whether her feelings for this person are romantic, though [[spoiler:a confession of love which comes late in the story]] implies that they are.\ |

However, a last-minute [[HeelFaceTurn change of heart]] from one of his siblings saves the outcast's life. \ |

| 104 | * As a side effect of a war involving multiple superhuman warriors and mystically-empowered weapons, the daughter of one of those warriors is tainted with dark magic and grows up with TheCorruption gnawing on her soul. Because of this, she becomes a lonely, embittered, ShrinkingViolet, having been betrayed and/or abandoned by any family or friends she once had. (Her {{Jerkass}} brother, in particular, contributes to this mindset.) The only person she trusts is TheHero, who's a would-be KnightInShiningArmor, but even his [[TheFourLoves love]] is not enough to keep her from succumbing to the villains' manipulations and consequently turning evil. She then transforms into a twisted, red-eyed version of her original self and goes on a murderous rampage, which is fueled by the dark power that had lain dormant in her soul since childhood. An estranged sibling of the girl tries to fight and kill her, but ultimately can't bring zirself to strike the fatal blow. Fortunately, the girl is redeemed in that moment by her sibling's love; she abandons evil forever in favor of living a peaceful domestic life (like the kind she wanted before all this magic crap started) and atoning for her sins.

She keeps moving and changing names to avoid detection, and she looks cold and aloof. About fifty years before the main plot, she started a passionate romance while abroad but broke it off, and the now old man recognizes her at once. In the ending, she begins to age again.

Using his influence, he schemes to separate her from a young, poorer NiceGuy whom she likes.

Their villainy is not motivated by {{greed}} or even [[ThePowerOfHate hate]], but rather just their incredibly unhealthy obsession with making the hero suffer in particular, for reasons that are never quite explained and subject to change DependingOnTheWriter. They are prone to KickTheDog behaviour and seem to have a thing for shoving female characters (most especially the hero's girlfriends) [[StuffedInTheFridge into the fridge]]. There is nothing good or decent about them whatsoever. [[HateSink Just a vile, bottomless pit of awfulness]]. \ |

After waking up and discovering his powers wich include the creation of a BladeBelowTheShoulder, [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe a shield]], the ability to survive a fall from any height, [[NotQuiteFlight being able to glide]], GroundPound, being able to [[LifeDrain heal himself by]] [[IAmAHumanitarian feeding off of people]], and [[GhostMemory see the memories of the dead]] (Sometimes); the man decides to discover just who the hell is responsible for the incident. Unfortunately the island in which he is, is put under quarantine in almost no time ([[spoiler:The quarantine was actually planned long before the start of the game]]); meaning he can´t get out as he suffers a big aversion to water. During the story the man meets a woman that makes him do her biding and double crosses him[[note]]Karen Parker, Moya Jones[[/note]], another woman that clearly loves him but is terrified of what he has become and acts as his MoralityPet[[note]]Dana Mercer, Trish Dailey[[/note]], a black man that knows much more about the situation than the protagonist and is related to an antagonic faction while not being part of it[[note]]Bradley Ragland, John White[[/note]] and a white man that fullfills the role of VoiceWithAnInternetConnection that seems like one of the only decent people in the island [[spoiler:but ultimately betrays the man due to the influence of the BigBad.[[note]]Specialist Cross, Zeke Dunbar[[/note]]]] The man ultimately beats a female PlagueMaster who controls an army of her infected forces[[note]]Elizabeth Greene, Sasha[[/note]], and an enemy that acts as an EvilCounterpart of him and has not only similar but also enhanced versions of his powers.[[note]]Supreme Hunter, Kessler[[/note]]. The man, finally discovers that the event that gave him his powers was caused by [[spoiler:"''[[EvilMeScaresMe Himself]]''"]].

Said Tyrant is furious with this character's actions against orders, and has sent him on a far away mission thought impossible. He is accompanied on his journey by a seemingly harmless sidekick who would much rather be relaxing and having his favorite food than aiding him (and whose name contains the letters IR), although they do care for one another. His archenemy is a hyperactive and heroic boy with a strange looking head. Others seeking his goal include a far more competent and ruthless female rival who enjoys tormenting him, as well as a stout, overconfident, and unlucky soldier who has survived an encounter with a giant animal. Despite his huge ego and obsession with regaining his ruler's respect, he has often found himself allying with his enemy.\ |

| 432 | * We have a pair of siblings of the same sex. The elder sibling uses magic in such a way that people think that they are a monster. Indeed, they {{Summon|Magic}} a fierce beast at one point. At another point, they each decide "there is {{No Place For Me|There}}" in their world. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also]], the elder sibling is rather {{Aloof|BigBrother}} and has {{White Hair|BlackHeart}}.\ |
| 433 | The younger sibling is rather [[WideEyedIdealist idealistic]] and [[IncorruptiblePurePureness pure]], even in the face of a betrayal by someone (else) that they trust, seeking out their elder to set things to rights even after the elder abandons the younger. And when they find said elder sibling, the elder sibling attacks and injures the younger; ''before'' sending out the summoned monster. Oh, and by the point of the abandonment, [[ParentalAbandonment their parents are already dead]].\ |

Included in this group of reindeer is one of the brightest and most talented minds of the people... whose genius has been corrupted into leading a genocidal crusade. Said mind retained his vast store of Charisma, [[TheParagonAlwaysRebels recruiting much of the populace to his cause]] in such a way as to make it difficult to distinguish friend from foe until it is too late.\ |
| 439 | This blue-clad-boy does have one thing going for him, though: the support of a sibling-in-arms clad in red with blond hair. This companion has excellent battle-savvy and [[TheLeader leadership skills]] and is ProperlyParanoid, but is prone to not getting any major victories for [[TheWorfEffect one reason]] or [[LockedOutOfTheFight another]]. This companion and X have a [[HeterosexualLifePartners very]] [[PlatonicLifePartners strong]] bond; [[PlatonicWritingRomanticReading which is often mistaken]] [[TheNotLoveInterest for a romantic one]]. Also, said companion is [[AvertedTrope following a different destiny than]] [[FollowInMyFootsteps the one originally intended for them]].\ |

| 441 | * This blonde-haired GadgeteerGenius is a figure of importance in his hometown. However, he leaves said hometown and, along with his younger (and also blonde) sibling, travels in a company that is sometimes beset by a tentacled creature (whose plot was dropped halfway through the story). Said inventor is ''not'' TheHero of this story, however. That role belongs to the party member who turns out to be from another land, doesn't [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove understand]] [[ChasteHero romance]], (much to the dismay of [[ChivalrousPervert one of the he]][[UnluckyChildhoodFriend ro's companions]],) and has a latent power related to that of mythical beasts like the ones the party often comes into contact with and even [[SummonMagic obtain and]] [[{{Mon}} use in battle]]. Regaining memories of said Hero's past is the key to unlocking the Hero's true and unique power.\ |
| 442 | This group is eventually tasked to fight against an evil organization which employs technology in order to extract the powerful essences of these aforementioned beasts and must ultimately defeat an OmnicidalManiac, with the Genius himself having to save [[DoomedHometown his home]]. Among the friends the group makes are a [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter cud]][[BigFun dly]] [[DanceBattler slam-dancer]], someone whose hobby is creating [[ArtAttacker visual]] [[CameraFiend records]] of local fauna, and someone who worked for the evil organization at one point in the story and looks on their past with regret. Another person who works for the organization attacks the maniac once they also realize the organization's goals are [[NotWhatISignedOnFor not what they signed on for]].\ |

| 445 | * This installment of a {{Long Runn|er}}ing Franchise features TheHero of the series ''[[TheChessmaster on top of]] [[DumbassNoMore his game]]'', even though he never scores an ''official'' victory in this installment. Unfortunately, for some inexplicable reason, the only characters returning from prior installments are the {{Jobber}}(s) that's always in the series and one or two others, which kind of neutralizes the effect. Indeed, one of the characters from the first installment that makes a return appearance in the subsequent installment [[VitriolicBestBuds still rags on the hero]] [[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple as though nothing's really changed]].\ |
| 446 | It does help that one of the hero's companions (and [[SupportingProtagonist co-focus]] [[{{Deuteragonist}} character]]) in this installment was ''[[HeroWorshipper alre]][[FirstGirlAfterAll ady]]'' a big fan of the hero. Then again, a [[FriendOnTheForce nominal]] [[FriendlyRival opponent]] admires the hero as well. The pedestal gets {{broken|Pedestal}} at one point, though, and the (first) fan [[TalkToTheFist lashes]] [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan out]] when discovering this. (It gets {{rebuilt|Pedestal}} later.) A major side character is ''very'' big on their [[TheCSIEffect respective]] [[GadgeteerGenius aspect of]] Science. The BigBad of this installment is a VillainWithGoodPublicity and even did a stint as a [[TreacherousAdvisor Mentor]], his true alignment utterly shocking his would-have-been pupil. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Finally]], a young girl wants her ParentalSubstitute to get married to provide her with a role model.\ |

They take a personal interest in the development of TheHero of the story, have female seconds-in-command who are bun-wearing, no-nonsense teachers with good intentions, and run a [[BenevolentConspiracy secret conspiracy group]] whose function is to oppose the BigBad. Am I referring to '''[[Literature/HarryPotter Albus Dumbledore]]''' or '''[[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Professor Ozpin]]'''? |
| 454 | * This girl is the daughter of the BigBad of the show. She knew nothing of the outside world until she met TheHero, whom she eventually falls in love with; at one point, she even saves his life from hopelessness and depression by reminding him of his purpose. Sadly, she is forced back to her true evil nature, but thanks to ThePowerOfLove, she regains her senses and helps the protagonist defeat her creator. Unfortunately, this comes at a cost; her life is tied to that of her creator, and she fades away from existence during a wedding. Is this girl's name '''[[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack Ashi]]''' or '''[[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Nia Teppelin]]'''? |
| 455 | * He is the evil future version of TheHero of the story. He doesn't think much of the concept of friends and seeks to [[TheCorrupter turn the hero into becoming exactly like him]]. Lastly, he is an OmnicidalManiac who is willing to destroy the ones he formerly cared about in order to get what he wants, and he is [[EvilCannotComprehendGood incapable of understanding why his younger good counterpart would want to save the ones he loves]]. Is his name '''[[WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie2TheSecondPart Rex Dangervest]]''' or '''[[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Dark Danny]]'''? |
| 456 | * She is a hyperactive, fun-loving, [[MotorMouth fast-talking]], and happy GenkiGirl who is associated with the color [[PinkIsFeminine pink]]. She can also be a party animal and has been known to [[BreakingTheFourthWall talk to the audience at times]], and she has suffered ColorFailure on at least one occasion. Lastly, she can be random and loves food, but [[BewareTheSillyOnes on the battlefield, she is a competent asskicker]]. Is her name '''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]]''' or '''[[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Nora Valkyrie]]'''? |
| 457 | * He is a sociopathic WickedCultured GalacticConqueror with some association with [[DarkIsEvil darkness]] who has a CultOfPersonality built up around him and is responsible for the deaths of billions, if not trillions, and he serves as his home franchise's equivalent of [[SatanicArchetype the Devil]]. His [[TheDragon chief enforcer]] has a tragic FreudianExcuse, is capable of [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes feeling love]] (unlike his master), and tends to be more permissive than him. Finally, said enforcer ultimately sends his master falling to his death at one point by tossing him down a chasm after refusing to hurt a loved one.

| 460 | * This character is a little white anthropomorphic rabbit named Max. He is part of a duo that forms [[ProtagonistTitle the title]] of the work in which they appear. The other member of the duo is the [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni to Max's Red Oni]]. The other member is also bigger and taller than him. They have starred in a kids' cartoon series adapted from their original work.\ |

| 462 | * A RedOniBlueOni duo of {{Funny Animal}}s, and the protagonists of the work they appear in. They have appeared in an animated work that could be considered family-friendly. One member of the duo - the Red Oni - is a rabbit, and the smaller and shorter of the two. This character is very ambitious, and prefers to take action immediately rather than think about the consequences. The other member - the Blue Oni - is a canine of some sort. He is the bigger and taller of the two. He is more laid-back, and he has more of a way with words than the rabbit does. The two are police officers who solve crimes using somewhat dubious methods.\ |

| 464 | * This character is a FunnyOctopus who is the BigBad of a kid-friendly work released in the mid-2010's. His EvilPlan involves kidnapping a bunch of cute marine animals. He has a huge army of octopus {{Mooks}}, and a giant mech of some sort, to help him achieve this goal. Some Mooks are more competent than others. However, he seems to be the only octopus who can talk. His skin and eyes are brightly colored in such a way that is unusual[[note]]But maybe not ''impossible''. Time for a little biology lesson: Real octopuses have a wide variety of colors that they can change their skin to. We just don't commonly see brightly colored octopuses because they need dull colors to blend in with their surroundings.[[/note]] for an octopus. He is one of the most well-received characters in his work, partly due to being very [[LaughablyEvil funny]]. He makes a lot of references to modern pop culture.

| 465 | '''[[WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar Dave]]''' or '''[[VideoGame/{{Splatoon}} DJ Octavio]]'''? |
| 466 | * This character is a FunnyOctopus who is a major character in a family-friendly, comical work. One of his most notable traits is the fact that he [[HughMann disguises himself as a human]], but he acts very inhuman, which would clue any sane person in to the fact that he's really an octopus, but because most, if not all the humans in this work are TooDumbToLive, they don't notice. Despite being an octopus, he is able to communicate with humans. Strangely, despite octopuses being invertebrates, he is somehow able to stand up straight on his tentacles.\ |
| 467 | '''VideoGame/{{Octodad}}''' or '''[[WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar Dave]]'''? |
| 468 | * He is the main character of an indie game. His name is also [[ProtagonistTitle the title]] [[OneWordTitle of the game]] in which he appears. He is bald, and has long, floppy arms with no hands or fingers. He is an AllLovingHero who is nice to everyone he meets, and is even willing to forgive those who try to hurt him. He is very different from all the people around him, but most people love him regardless. [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight He sometimes breaks the rules, but does so for good reasons]]. In his game, the last thing the player does is have him [[spoiler:give someone a hug.]]\ |
| 469 | '''VideoGame/{{Octodad}}''' or '''VideoGame/{{Dropsy}}'''? |
| 470 | * He is one of the main characters of a kids' work. He has appeared in an animated series. He is an anthropomorphic rabbit [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife with pink fur]]. He is a manchildish FatIdiot who is one of the funniest characters in the work he appears in. He is often seen [[FanDisservice shirtless]]. He has a child who looks more or less exactly like him.\ |
| 471 | '''[[Literature/TheDumbBunnies Papa Bunny]]''' or '''[[WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball Richard Watterson]]'''? |
| 472 | * He is a major villain in a series with a large cast of antagonists. Said series features many FunnyAnimal characters as well. He is one of the most monstrous villains in his series. He is very egotistical, bearing no sympathy or love for anyone else but his pet spiders, which he loves to feed. He is [[CatsAreMean a feline of some sort]]. His personality is very cold and refined. He tends to venture into ColdHam territory. Though he displays some DirtyCoward tendencies, he is capable of putting up a fight on his own. He doesn't go down easy - if he was even KilledOffForReal at all, although it is heavily implied that he was. \ |

| 474 | * The BigBad of a work released in the 2010's that plays with many video game tropes. He is [[spoiler:a video game character who was long thought to be dead]], but has assumed a new form[[note]]For the sake of avoiding spoilers, only the names of their "fake" identities will be listed below[[/note]]. He lures the hero in with a warm smile and a friendly personality, but quickly turns out to be quite FauxAffablyEvil - a psychopath who most certainly WouldHurtAChild. He is well known for being a consistent source of NightmareFuel. One of the most disturbing things he does is when his face [[NightmareFace changes]]. Also, in the climax, [[spoiler:he goes OneWingedAngel, turning into an ''even more'' horrifying monster, and gloating about his new power. Fortunately, he is HoistByHisOwnPetard not long after.]] In one of his forms, [[spoiler:he is royalty]]. He has many [[BrightIsNotGood bright]] colors.\ |
| 475 | He is very adept at hacking into video games for his own ends.\ |

| 477 | * They are the two main villains - the BigBad and TheDragon, respectively - of a CultClassic video game from TheNineties. Despite both being ChaoticEvil, they form a RedOniBlueOni duo. Both use some form of magic. The BigBad is the blue oni. He is tall, dark, and menacing. He has [[EvilSoundsDeep a deep voice]], and [[EvilIsHammy he really hams it up at times]]. He wears long clothing, along with something golden. He spends most of the battle against him [[MookMaker summoning minions to attack you]]. TheDragon is the red oni. He is an evil clown, but despite his disturbing appearance - complete with a wide grin with MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily - he's more of a VillainousHarlequin than a full-blown MonsterClown. He confronts the hero far more often than the BigBad does, and with his high-pitched voice, small body, and rudeness, he is quite annoying.\ |
| 478 | '''[[VideoGame/{{Klonoa}} Ghadius and Joka]] or [[VideoGame/CarnEvil Ludwig von Tökkentäkker and Umlaut]]?''' |
| 479 | * He is the BigBad in an EdutainmentGame for kids. One of his names is Mortimer. His last name starts with an M too. He's an ObviouslyEvil man with graying, wildly unkempt hair and usually seen wearing a long coat. He has a surprisingly high-pitched voice for a man, and is also a shining example of EvilIsHammy. He is quite a PsychopathicManchild, who makes evil plots for [[EvilIsPetty rather silly reasons]]. But he is still very much LaughablyEvil. He's also quite a SmugSnake who has a comical VillainousBreakdown when the player beats the game. He has many minions at his disposal to hinder the protagonist's progress, and he also dabbles in [[EvilSorcerer magic]].\ |
| 480 | '''VideoGame/IMMeen or [[VideoGame/SuperSolvers Morty Maxwell]]?''' |
| 481 | * This character is the BigBad of an animated movie. They have an AlliterativeName. They are a performer who cares about fame and attention more than anything else. They are a GreenEyedMonster bent on stopping a plucky, heroic group of performers whom they (the villain) see as a threat to their own fame. They sing a dark VillainSong showing how cruel and self-centered they are. This song is accompanied by a DisneyAcidSequence, and at least one part of this sequence shows this villain transforming into a giant, shadowy monster. They have a big, muscular henchman. In the end, they suffer a humiliating, comical defeat.\ |

| 485 | * The villain of the second installment of a series, which is part of a larger universe, wants to cover the world in darkness. He plans to do so by fusing with a purplish-blackish-red source of dark power that has been [[SealedEvilinaCan sealed away for millennia.]] After he succeeds in fusing with said power during a [[WhenthePlanetsAlign convergence]], he gains a creepy cast to his appearance and [[GlowingEyesofDoom glowing]] [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]]. The final battle with the brash, muscular hero involves traveling between dimensions using portals and destruction in a major world city. In a universe where most of the other villains are compelling [[AntiVillain Anti-Villains]] or [[MagnificentBastard Magnificent Bastards]], he stands out as a {{Generic Doomsday Villain}} and is a bit of a [[TheScrappy Scrappy]] in the large fandom. His installment premiered in the fall of 2013. From where does this evildoer hail?
