Whateley Universe/Characters

Characters from  include:

Team Kimba

 * Amazon Brigade
 * Arson, Murder, and Lifesaving: They get chewed out regularly after their little adventures. Whateley Academy is not a 'superhero school', but a school for mutants to learn to control their powers, and as such mutants are not supposed to be fighting crime until they are eighteen (and legally deputized in their chosen city or region).
 * A Shared Suffering: the original six characters (plus Bladedancer, Carmilla, and Heyoka) are all transgendered in some way, some of them because of their powers, so they have a commonality.
 * Author Appeal: oh definitely. Most of the Canon authors have written other TG fiction.
 * Backstory: Every main character except Lancer has a novella or novel for this.
 * Badass Crew: high school freshmen who have already fought The Necromancer and his Children of the Night? And won? Very badass.
 * Beware the Nice Ones
 * Breakfast Club
 * Busman's Holiday: They can't go anywhere without getting attacked or fighting villains. This doesn't seem to happen to anyone else.
 * Cool Loser: they live in Poe, which is supposedly the 'loony bin' dorm.
 * Extraordinarily Empowered Girl: they're superheroines, for Pete's sake!
 * Fail O'Suckyname: 'Team Kimba'. Never going to strike fear in the hearts of opponents. You can thank Jade for that one.
 * Five-Token Band
 * Gender Bender: Except Jade, who's finding ways to transition on her own.
 * Part-Time Hero
 * Plug N Play Friends
 * Superhero
 * Super-Hero Speciation
 * Super Team
 * True Companions
 * Wake Up, Go to School, Save the World
 * Weirdness Magnets: They got into more trouble in their first six weeks at Whateley than most students do all year. See also Busman's Holiday above.

Toni Chandler (Chaka)
A description of the character goes here.


 * Awesomeness By Analysis: One of her skills is the ability to see Ki flows, so she has learned several attacks by watching an expert use them.
 * Bi the Way
 * Bring It: this is the essence of Toni. She first did this when facing five superpowered ninjas when she was in a nightie.
 * By the Power of Grayskull: she got power gloves as a Christmas present rom a teammate, and they have an activation phrase.
 * Casual Danger Dialog: she and Phase are two of the worst about this.
 * Cat Smile: 'Chaka' does mean 'leopard'.
 * Cheryl Blossom: pretty much sums up her relationship with Thunderbird.
 * Combat Commentator: she can't help it. She's the only one who can see the Ki flows.
 * Deadpan Snarker: When she's not being a plain old wise-ass.
 * Embarrassing Middle Name: It's still 'Mark'.
 * Epic Flail: She's recently been learning how to use meteor hammers.
 * Establishing Character Moment: when she gets dressed at the start of her origin story.
 * Eyes of Gold
 * Fun Personified
 * Genki Girl: although Generator is worse
 * Hard Work Hardly Works: definitely. It drives several other people nuts that she can learn Ki skills just by observing.
 * The Hero: She was at the forefront of the team's earliest adventures.
 * Improbable Aiming Skills
 * Improbable Weapon User and Improvised Weapon: Playing cards and sewing needles, which she uses as throwing weapons.
 * Indy Ploy: she lives by this trope.
 * Instant Expert
 * I Shall Taunt You: in fights, her taunting is somewhere between Sassy Black Woman and Spider-Man.
 * Jive Turkey: Often talks like this in a tongue-in-cheek fashion, or just to annoy Ayla.
 * Jumped At the Call: and how!
 * Kamehame Hadoken: yet another secret Ki technique she's stolen.
 * Kiai: she has a Kiai shout that literally projects her Ki like a weapon.
 * Ki Attacks
 * The Lancer: Her role nowadays.
 * Magnetic Hero
 * Martial Arts and Crafts
 * Mega Manning
 * Mundane Utility: she's constantly using her Ki powers to do things like dry off after a shower, or mop the floor faster.
 * Offscreen Moment of Awesome and Noodle Incident. Her fall combat final, against a brick, a giant, and a deviser/wizard, with a tornado and an earthquake thrown in for good measure.
 * Plucky Girl
 * Poke in the Third Eye: she can use her Ki powers to block psychic attacks.
 * Polyamory: She's dating Thunderbird (male) and also Riptide (female). Thunderbird doesn't know about Riptide yet. Riptide is lesbian and not happy about Thunderbird.
 * Power Fist: that's what the Christmas present is for.
 * Red Oni: To Chou's Blue, as well as to Nikki's -- except when Nikki loses her temper.
 * Salt and Pepper: Toni and her roommate Nikki
 * Sassy Black Girl: especially to mess with Ayla.
 * She Fu
 * Spider Sense: her Ki ability lets her know when someone is focusing on her
 * Spirited Competitor
 * Super Senses: Ki. It's always Ki with Chaka.
 * Take Our Word for It: Chaka's fall Combat Final
 * Transgender: Until she manifested and got exactly what she wanted.
 * Twofer Token Minority: she's a black female bisexual formerly-male mutant with hyperactivity issues. Is there any other six-fer on that page?
 * Waif Fu
 * Wall Crawl: she also figured out how to use her Ki to stick to a wall.
 * Weapon of Choice: Her manrikigusari (a type of chain weapon). And her meteor hammer.
 * When All You Have Is a Hammer: when all you have are Ki powers, Ki solves everything.
 * Worf Had the Flu: over Christmas, Chaka had to help Bladedancer fight off ninjas. While recovering from broken hips and confined to a wheelchair.

Nikki Reilly (Fey)
A description of the character goes here.


 * Alien Blood: It's silver.
 * Arbitrary Skepticism: Fey is possessed with the spirit of an incredibly old Faerie, and yet she consistently pooh-poohs Phase's idea that some of the (far younger) Greek Gods have come back and are now at Whateley Academy.
 * Attempted Rape: by a superpowered ninja psychopath
 * Bi the Way
 * Blood Brothers:
 * Blood Magic: more than once, but most nastily in Christmas Elves.
 * Blue Oni: To Toni's Red. Well, usually.
 * Bob Haircut: Initially.
 * The Chosen One
 * Darkest Hour: the end of chapter 2 of Christmas Elves.
 * Disappeared Dad: her father and brother live in another state, because of her dad's important job with DARPA.
 * Distracted by the Sexy: Fey has a faerie glamour that at first she couldn't turn down or turn off. Even the gay guys in the dorm were gaping at her.
 * Dogged Nice Guy: Fey's boyfriend Stalwart, and his pursuit of her.
 * The Empath
 * Even the Girls Want Her: it's that darn glamour.
 * The Fair Folk
 * Fastball Special: done with Fey as the 'fastball' once, before she learned how to fly on her own.
 * Fate Worse Than Death: has nearly befallen her twice so far, once at the hands of Nex, and once when trapped by Hekate.
 * Fiery Redhead
 * Functional Magic
 * Glamour
 * Healing Hands
 * Hello, Nurse!
 * Insistent Terminology: She's Sidhe, not an elf. She's also rather insistent about calling Malachim's Feather a scimitar, as opposed to just 'sword'.
 * Even Heroes Have Heroes: Fey's Instant Fanclub, which utterly embarrasses her.
 * Lady of War: Fey may only be a teenager, but her spirit Aunghadhail, is one of the original nine Queens of the Sidhe.
 * Life Energy: she can pull Essence from almost anything natural.
 * Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: She's light, Sara is dark.
 * Magical Gesture
 * Magical Incantation
 * Magic Knight: Fey is currently training to move from Squishy Wizard up to this.
 * The Medic: She's the Healer of the team.
 * Menstrual Menace: her first period at Whateley Academy is the stuff of legend. There were thunderstorms. In the hallways.
 * Ms. Fanservice: especially after that photo shoot for that Sierra Club poster.
 * Mundane Utility: Fey has enough Essence that she can waste it on things like magically drying her hair.
 * My Nayme Is: Her full name is 'Nichole', not the more commonly-spelled 'Nicole'.
 * New Spells as the Plot Demands
 * Odd Friendship: With Razorback.
 * Our Elves Are Better
 * Our Fairies Are Different
 * Pardon My Klingon: she sometimes curses in languages that haven't been spoken in millennia.
 * Playing with Fire: She once seduced the element of fire and had it do her bidding. She doesn't do this again, since the process is pretty embarrassing and the one time was an extreme emergency.
 * Pointy Ears
 * Polyamory: Stalwart/Fey/Bugs. Stalwart doesn't know about Bugs, though.
 * Purple Eyes
 * Redheaded Hero
 * Shrinking Violet: When she first arrived at Whateley.
 * So Beautiful It's a Curse: it's literally a curse, since Word of God says her glamour is due to the ancient Faerie wards that still provide protection.
 * Squirrels in My Pants: the first magic that Nick (accidentally) does.
 * Squishy Wizard
 * Superpower Lottery: oh, yeah. She's one of the most powerful Wizard-type mutants on earth, and she has the spirit of an ancient Faerie Queen to teach her spells.
 * Weaksauce Weakness: To cold iron and, to a lesser degree, synthetic materials. Yes, she can be defeated by lingerie. Now that's a Kryptonite Factor.

Hank Declan (Lancer)
A description of the character goes here.


 * Absurdly Sharp Blade: He can create these by covering paper swords with his PK field.
 * Big Eater
 * Chivalrous Pervert: He went through this stage.
 * Dual-Wielding: With his paper shortswords.
 * Flat Character: He has no author, so he's not as developed as the others.
 * Flying Brick
 * Gray Eyes
 * Military Brat: And it shows. He's the most likely candidate for Team Kimba's leader and their strategist, and he's damn good at it.
 * Nice Guy
 * The One Guy: Him and Ayla, but Hank is the only one who actually looks male.
 * Straight Man

Jade Sinclair (Generator)
A description of the character goes here.


 * Abusive Parent: Her father.
 * Berserk Button: Don't threaten Tennyo. Jade will kill you.
 * Beware the Nice Ones
 * Beware the Silly Ones
 * The Chick
 * Cloudcuckoolander: She has her moments.
 * Crazy Awesome: 'Radioactive Condor Girl!'
 * Deal with the Devil: she has a demon mark from the Star Stalker, and its implied this has something to do her new regeneration ability. Interestingly neither Jade nor Tennyo know about this, though Sara has figured it out and told Fey. The upshot is that she'll literally do anything for Tennyo, to the point that she's thought that if Tennyo killed her the thing she'd be most worried about is making sure Tennyo didn't feel guilty.
 * Flanderization: Her love of Hello Kitty.
 * Gadgeteer Genius: She's pretending to be one.
 * Grand Theft Me: a variant when Tansy used her avatar powers to steal one of the copies of Jade. Since she can cast herself into living things as well, it's likely that she could also do this to people.
 * Happy Fun Ball: Her Kitty Compact. Shroud is also somewhere between this and Swiss Army Weapon: she looks like a girl, who suddenly sprouts chains blades and liquid nitrogen.
 * Healing Factor:
 * Japanese Honorifics: She uses these sometimes, addressing Tennyo as 'Onee-Sama' for instance, or Chaka as 'Chaka-sempai'.
 * Kawaiiko
 * Killer Rabbit: She's turned Tennyo's toy cabbit into this.
 * Lethal Harmless Powers
 * Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Towards
 * Missing Mom
 * Nigh Invulnerable: as Shroud, or any of her other combat bodies. She's only vulnerable to Avatars and Psionic attacks.
 * Older Than They Look
 * Pronoun Trouble: That's what happens when you can have up to five of you at once, in various bodies.
 * Puppy Dog Eyes
 * The Runaway
 * Sociopathic Hero: She's displayed some worrying tendencies towards this. Overlaps with Creepy Child at times.
 * To clarify, most characters who have had to kill someone were upset about it to Heroic BSOD levels. Jade has killed dozens of people using a telekinetic lawnmower blade, by literally chewing through them in Killer Rabbit mode, and by raising an army of telekinetic zombies. And...she's fine with it. She also has a rather worrying fondness for weaponry and routinely carries dozens of varieties of high explosives.
 * Heroic Comedic Sociopath: Most of her odd behaviour is played for laughs.
 * Spanner in the Works: Most notably in "Christmas Elves".
 * Tagalong Kid: She's actually the same age as most of the others, but naturally comes across as one of these, especially since she lacks raw power and usually plays supporting roles in combat (not counting her 'other selves' like Shroud, since they pretend that they're completely separate beings).
 * Technical Pacifist: Also referred to as 'NRA pacifism': She alternates between wearing a pacifist armband and an ultraviolent armband. Randomly. Her point is that you should avoid violence whenever you can. But if you can't, deploy overwhelming force. She considers it Mama Bear training.
 * Transgender
 * Transgender

Billie Wilson (Tennyo)
A description of the character goes here.


 * All of the Other Reindeer: She's ostracised because people hear 'Section 33' and think 'dangerous, homicidal, wantonly-murdering psychopath'. Those who get to know her usually quite like her.
 * Anime Hair: It literally follows its own personal gravity. Her flight powers work on a similar principle.
 * Berserk Button: She's quite protective of Jade.
 * Big Eater: It's implied that this is to compensate for a lack of proper nutrition, since her real diet is supposed to be demons.
 * The Big Guy
 * Bizarre Alien Biology
 * Bloody Murder: Her blood has antimatter in it... But only sometimes.
 * Captain Ersatz: Invoked.
 * Combo-Platter Powers
 * Cool Big Sis: Jade sees her this way.
 * Cute Little Fangs
 * Extreme Omnivore: She's eaten ectoplasmic spider-rats, voodoo wolves, and the souls of demons. Averted when it comes to actual human food.
 * Eyes of Gold
 * Eldritch Abomination / Humanoid Abomination The Stalker of the Stars/The Scourge/The Destroyer was one before it bonded with Billy to escape...something.
 * Flying Brick
 * Flying Firepower
 * Glowing Eyes of Doom / Red Eyes, Take Warning: Her irises sometimes go red when she's very angry. But actually, it's when they glow green that you really need to start worrying -- that's when she's channeling the Star Stalker.
 * God Mode Sue: Intended as a Deconstruction. Your Mileage May Vary on whether it works or not.
 * Healing Factor
 * Heroic BSOD: In "Ayla and the Great Shoulder Angel Conspiracy".
 * Laser Blade
 * Nigh Invulnerability: Thanks to her incredible Healing Factor.
 * Person of Mass Destruction: Her higher end powers generate hard radiation as a side effect. And if the Star Stalker starts to come out, just existing causes her to start damaging reality.
 * Psychic Block Defense: Probably has something to do with the Star Stalker being made to fight insanity-inducing Eldritch Abominations.
 * Reality Warper: While most of her powers are ultimately based in this (for example, flying by ignoring gravity and manipulating her acceleration), they don't normally go into reality-rending territory unless she loses control of them.
 * Super Toughness
 * Tsundere
 * Unusual Ears
 * The Woobie: In 'Ayla and the Great Shoulder Angel Conspiracy, Part 5/6', her memories of being the Star Stalker are unlocked.

Ayla Goodkind (Phase)
A description of the character goes here.


 * All of the Other Reindeer: A huge number of people ostracise him for being a Goodkind, or for being intersexed.
 * 'Ayla and the Mad Scientist' has even more people ostracise him after rumours spread that he personally kicked Chou off the team.
 * Badass Bookworm
 * Benevolent Boss
 * Blue Blood
 * Break the Haughty: His origin story.
 * Characterization Marches On: A variation. There's the Ayla before Diane Castle started writing for him and the Ayla after. Chronologically though, they exist simultaneously, due to the fact that the Diane Castle version is basically a Retcon via Alternate Character Interpretation.
 * Chivalrous Pervert
 * Crazy Prepared: He tries, though it doesn't always work.
 * Crimefighting with Cash
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: As an appearance trope, it's more suited to pre-Diane Ayla, who was characterized by a 'punk' look.
 * Fallen Princess
 * First-Person Smartass
 * Food Porn: A big part of his stories.
 * Green Eyes: Though the 'spitfire' aspect of this trope mostly applies to pre-Diane Ayla.
 * Guile Hero
 * Heroic BSOD: In "Ayla and the Tests".
 * Honor Before Reason: While he's a really reasonable person, sometimes he goes off on tangents.
 * I Have No Son: His parents disown him after he manifests.
 * His siblings (minus Heather) still care about him, though.
 * Intangible Man
 * Jerkass Has a Point: Mutants are dangerous, do a lot of damage and need to be curtailed in certain cases. While the methods of curtailing need close examination and refinement, Ayla's not wrong when he says that the Knights of Purity are a needed force.
 * Laser-Guided Karma: Has incredibly harsh things to say about his sister's choice to transition. About five minutes later he takes off the jumpsuit he was imprisoned in and finds out he's on the same path.
 * Lethal Harmless Powers: Walking through objects? How boring. Being able to disintegrate matter by phasing back to solid within it? Not boring! Being able to fry electricity and knock people out by being partially solid? Definitely not boring! Being tough enough to slough off most attacks? Really not boring! Being able to trash the BI Ts of Exemplars and Shifters and turn them into monsters? Argh!
 * Never Live It Down: Fireball. Phase turned her into a monster by trashing her BIT (accidentally), and keeps thinking about it despite the fact that he never intended to do it and despite the number of Exemplars he did the same thing to, none of them got their BI Ts trashed.
 * He likes Brass Monkey (an alternative band) that the majority of other characters hate. They never stop bitching at him about it.
 * When he was a child, he donated millions of dollars to the MCO and supported Emil Hammond, believing that the doctor was a good guy who was being slandered by a lot of people with a grudge. Ayla found out the truth, and now he won't stop beating himself up for it- despite repeatedly being told by his friends that nobody would blame a kid for donating money to a cause that his parents told him was right.
 * The One Guy: Him and Hank, but Hank is the only one who actually looks male.
 * Pride Before a Fall
 * Pronoun Trouble: Other people are forever calling Ayla "she/her", even after being told he's not.
 * Properly Paranoid
 * Self-Deprecation: Ayla constantly puts himself down, especially in the field of fighting- the rest of Team Kimba are so good he feels he's at a major disadvantage. Never mind the fact that he beat Chaka, nearly beat Lancer, beat Tennyo, and has managed to either win, get even if he didn't win, or get out of every fight he's been in. He's also one of the most potentially destructive members of Team Kimba.
 * The Smart Guy
 * Straight Man
 * Teen Genius
 * Uncle Pennybags: He thinks nothing of spending money on his friends (when they allow it), or on anything he sees as a good cause. Justified, especially after 'Ayla and the Birthday Brawl', when he's the richest teenager on the planet minus some who are going to inherit fortunes.
 * Unreliable Narrator: Semi-intentionally. He's got a pretty good opinion of the Goodkinds and their works, but canon has proven that they definitely aren't what Phase thinks they are- and he knows it. Take everything he says about them with a grain of salt. It's justified because they are his family, and he's only spent about a year discovering the differences.
 * Utility Belt
 * The White Prince

 * Green Eyes
 * Healing Hands
 * Heroic BSOD: In "To The Mountain".
 * Hot Chick with a Sword

 * It Sucks to Be the Chosen One
 * Limited Wardrobe: Most of her clothing consists of mandarin tops and yoga pants.
 * Missing Mom
 * Orphan's Ordeal
 * Sixth Ranger
 * Strong as They Need to Be: When the Tao decides to step in.

Elaine Fleischer (Delta Spike)
A description of the character goes here.


 * Gadgeteer Genius
 * Hollywood Nerd: Dressed up like a Type 2 in an attempt to look more professional for the Weapons Fair. Phase lampshaded the whole concept and speculated that she'd draw in a larger crowd if she just wore her super-suit.
 * Hot Scientist
 * Never Live It Down: In-universe, every time she blows something up. Phase doesn't want to fund her because of this.
 * Stuff Blowing Up: Happens a lot with her. Her creations are known for going spectacularly wrong, earning her the nickname "Explosion Queen" around the Workshop.

 * Healing Factor
 * Hellish Pupils
 * Kryptonite Factor: Orichalcum.
 * Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: She's dark, Fey is light.
 * Lesbian Vampire: Technically not a vampire, or a lesbian for that matter, though she does seem to prefer girls. She's clearly meant to evoke this, though; her codename is an obvious reference to that Carmilla.

 * Psychic Powers
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning

 * Voluntary Shapeshifting

Jack Carlyle (Razorback)
A description of the character goes here.


 * The Berserker: He prefers not to enter rage-mode, though.

 * Big Eater
 * Bully Hunter
 * Chivalrous Pervert
 * Everything's Better with Dinosaurs
 * Healing Factor
 * Hidden Depths: He plays guitar, and he's really good at it. The Grove called him 'a murderer with the soul of a bard'.

 * Odd Friendship: With Fey.
 * Super Speed

Sandra/Ryan Carter (Diamondback)
A description of the character goes here.


 * Berserk Button: Sharisha insulting Chaka and Fey and carelessly outing them in the process was enough to make her cross the room and slap her before either of the other two could pull themselves together enough to react.
 * The Empath
 * Fetish: She is one, much to her displeasure, as she's been approached by guys who were only interested in her for being a snake-woman.
 * Genius Bruiser
 * Shrinking Violet: When it comes to singing in public.
 * Snake People
 * Split Personality: Ryan and Sandra both cooperate, and claim that it's more like a "dual processor" than an actual case of this trope. However, they do have notably different mannerisms.

A description of the character goes here.

The Bad Seeds
""Okay. We’re the kids of some of the biggest villains in the world. Wealth and power undreamt of by mortal man. And so far our ambitions include solving roommate problems, patent development, the possible destruction of the world, and covering the campus in concrete to turn it into a giant skate park.""

- Jadis, "The Bad Seeds"

Jadis Diabolik (She-Beast)
A description of the character goes here.


 * Badass Bookworm: Like Phase, she reads a lot.
 * Dark Is Not Evil
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Eyes of Gold
 * Genre Savvy
 * Hollywood Homely
 * Horned Hairdo
 * In the Blood: She's constantly harassed by people who believe that she's a supervillain because her father is, or who blame her for the death of a loved one.
 * Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter: Aversion, and she's aware of it.
 * Psychic Block Defense: Her father bound a devil to her soul, which influenced her PK shield. It's also proven to be an effective defense against psychics- one tried to read her and freaked out.
 * Pettanko
 * Rules Lawyer: As the daughter of Dr Diabolik, she knows damn well that the law will get her on anything wrong she does, so she learns all the laws so she knows her rights in any circumstance. It's helped her out a few times.
 * Team Mom
 * White-Haired Pretty Girl: Except for the 'pretty' part.

Jobe Wilkins
A description of the character goes here.

"Ayla: You think that he’d try to cheat me and screw me over? Jadis: No, I think that he would screw you over in complete honesty and sincerity."
 * Affably Evil: Sometimes. He may be one of the least likeable people on campus, but he does try, in his own condescending way, to be polite and reasonable. Of course, since he's lacking in empathy, his good intentions are seldom well-received.


 * Alternate Character Interpretation

 * Royal Brat
 * Teen Genius
 * Unreliable Narrator: Due to his ego, his viewpoint can be highly slanted at times. One memorable scene in "The Second Book of Jobe" had him convinced that Jadis was madly in love with him, and interpreting everything she did or said accordingly.

A description of the character goes here.

Champion
A description of the character goes here.


 * Big Good
 * Captain Ersatz: It's made blatantly obvious from the moment he's introduced that he's a Superman equivalent. "Razzle-Dazzle" makes it even more obvious, revealing that he started out only with super strength and the ability to jump really far, but gained powers like flight and heat vision as he absorbed more power from his enemies -- in other words, he followed the same progression the real Superman did.
 * Kryptonite Factor: The original Champion believed that his powers could be negated by a substance called "Tartareum." No such substance exists; his reaction to "Tartareum" (That is to say, any black chunk of rock that he thought was actually Tartareum) was purely psychosomatic. Unfortunately, this was only discovered after his death, and his first successor (who learned everything he 'knew' about his powers from the original) shared this weakness; later ones do not, although we still have to meet the modern Champion in an actual story.
 * Legacy Character: Champion's powers come from "The Champion Force," which can be passed on to someone else should he die. This has happened multiple times.
 * Weaksauce Weakness: See "Kryptonite Factor" above. Pretty much anyone who could convince the original Champion that a chunk of rock was tartareum could take advantage of his one weakness. He was finally killed with nothing more than a glass knife, because it was carved from black volcanic glass and both he and his nemesis were convinced that it was made of tartareum.
