AdventureQuest Worlds/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[BFS]]: If The Hero has a Big Sword

* [[Badass]]: With his or her very impressive track record (up to and including eight defeated Chaos Lords and sundry other nasties) it's not hard to see your character as this at times. Especially if you like to solo bosses.

* [[The Barber]]: If The Hero has Barber Class

* [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]]: The Male Hero has no nipples

* [[The Power of Rock]]: Using the Bard class and what the Hero uses in the Arc Attack live event.

* [[Protagonist Without a Past]]: YMMV, since the beginning shows the character on the cliff (for some unknown reason) that is struck by lightning...then spends about a minute falling down the mountainside before going to the first part of the game.

* [[Redeeming Replacement]]: The Good Hero can act as one to any villain and with Doom Knight Overlord Class the hero can act as one to Sepulchure

* [[Shoulders of Doom]]: If The Hero has armor with biggest shoulder-wear like Berserker Champion, Phoenix Plate, Shadowscythe Reaver, Imperial Plate Armor, and Mirror Drakath Armor

* [[The Blacksmith]]: Or Mad Blacksmith to be specific.

* [[Blinding Bangs]]: No one knows what his eyes are like... so far.

* [[Cardboard Prison]]: Trapped in a circle with an arrow pointing to it saying Do Not Cross during the Golden Onslaught.

== Others of Swordhaven ==

 

'''Associated tropes:'''

* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: She explicitly refers to herself as an evil empress and her faction as being the forces of evil.

* {{spoiler|[[The Champion]]: She is The Champion of Light}}

* [[Daddy's Little Villain]]: {{spoiler|Wants revenge on Drakath for killing him, and is even able to create her own minions.}}

* [[Power Gives You Wings]]: In Gravelyn's case, {{spoiler|shining white angelic ones}}.

* [[Chronic Villainy]]: {{spoiler|[[Pet the Dog|Sepulchure goes to great lengths to convince himself that his daughter is just one of his undead and not the Champion of Light, who he needs to kill]]. But when he is finally faced with the truth, he gives in and tries to kill her anyways.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Fallen Hero]]: Sepulchure was once one of King Alteon's greatest knights, who went by the name of Valen. Valen and Alteon were both in love with a healer of Swordhaven by the name of Lynaria, and the two dueled for her hand. It is implied that Alteon defeated him, because Alteon would marry her. But when then-Champion of Darkness Dethrix kidnapped her, Valen traveled to the deepest depths of the Necropolis and threw down with him for Lynaria's fate. He lost. Valen's fatal flaw was his inability to accept defeat, and he made a deal with Darkness in the form of the Mysterious Stranger in order to gain enough power to defeat Dethrix and rescue Lynaria, and received the armor that would transform him into the Doom Knight known as Sepulchure. Soon after Valen returned with Lynaria, he turned against Alteon in an event that is largely omitted from the history, but that would begin the war between Good and Evil. Lynaria, who still sensed good in Valen, tried to free him from the cursed armor, only for the armor to strike her down}}.

* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: {{spoiler|Seeks to draw Lore into the Plane of Darkness (or at least his Doomblade does), which will destroy everything in it in the process. In order to do this, he needs to kill the Champion of Light. To find the champion, he launches a crusade to wipe out all life on Lore.}}

* [[Pet the Dog]]: {{spoiler|His ultimate goal is to slay the Champion of Light so that the Plane of Darkness can consume Lore. Even though deep down, he knew all along that it was his daughter, Gravelyn, he chose to believe that his former friend, King Alteon, was the Champion of Light, [[Believing Their Own Lies|and convinced himself]] that Gravelyn was just a special undead. It is this final spark of love that drives him to spare her at the last -- and to sacrifice himself when Drakath moves to finish her off.}}

* [[Cool Sword]]: His Legendary Sword of Dragon Control.

* [[Dual Boss]]: The final battle of Dwarfhold pits you against both Vath and Stalagbite. Attacking Vath first will lead to Stalagbite [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb-stomping you]] for quad-digit damage.

* [[The Dragon]]: The Chaos Beasts are always fought before the battle against the Chaos Lord proper.

* [[You Can't Thwart Stage One]]: Try as he or she might, [[The Hero]] has never succeeded in stopping a Chaos Lord from awakening a Chaos Beast. The one time he or she did, {{spoiler|it turned out Discordia wasn't the real Chaos Lord}}.

 

 

'''Associated tropes:'''

* [[Hydra Problem]]: Every time you kill a head, it's just going to come back. The way to kill it is to collect teeth from each head in order to activate the runes and send the tower crashing down on it.

 

 

'''Associated tropes:'''

* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: It was a dragon that was bitten by Wolfwing (who's a vampire/werewolf hybrid). According to the Design Notes, they experimented on him being a robot.

* [[Expy]]: of Medusa

* [[Gorgeous Gorgon]]

* [[Taken for Granite]]: One of Baas' nastier powers.

* [[Hidden Agenda Villain]]: {{spoiler|She and Invidia look strikingly familiar...}}

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]

* [[Nice Hat]]: Her tiara.

* [[The Trickster]]: Since she's a master of disguise, she's pretty good at fooling everyone so they don't know the true extent of her and her master's plans.

* [[The Dragon]]: To King Alteon the Imbalanced

* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: With the reveal of Artix's past, this would be what Artix would be {{spoiler|should the invasion worked and he embraced the power of being the Champion of Darkness.}}

* [[The Undead]]

'''Associated tropes:'''

* [[The Champion]]: To the side of good {{spoiler|and in Doom Wood he is revealed to be The Champion of Darkness}}

* [[Foreshadowing]]: Regarding Artix {{spoiler|being the Champion of Darkness}} in Doomwood saga. To list: {{spoiler|In the beginning, King Alteon doesn't want Artix to go near Doomwood fearing it might awaken his dark powers somehow. When meeting Sally in the Tower of Necromancy, she hinted that Artix was more than just a paladin and the key to Vordred's true invincibility. In Necro U, the lecturers mentioned the art of necromancy involving the Darkness Realm and trapping spirit orbs to reanimate the undead, meantime revealing Artix's axe having hosted multiple spirit orbs gained from slaying the undead. And finally, in the Temple of Doomwood, the Stone Paladin recalls Lady Celestia from Dragon Fable bringing in young Artix to the Paladin Order and his apparent inability to cast light spells as the Hero learns of elemental champions and Artix's "Paladin" abilities come from the spirit orbs from the undead he had slain.}}

* [[Hidden Depths]]: {{spoiler|First off, he is surrounded by spirit orbs that give him the equivalent of Paladin magic. Second, he can use it WITHOUT his special axe on him. Last but not least, he's actually very caring to the undead he releases and wishes them peace in the afterlife. This is the power and purpose of the Undead Slayer}}.

* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]

* [[The Collector]]/[[Collector of the Strange]]: He collects people who have not finished their great destiny like Young Drakath, They Might Be Giants and The Hero.

* [[Harmless Villain]]: The closest he got to hurting somebody was attemtping to have his Doppelgangers of They drain the life force of the Johns. Other than that, he doesn't seem to be able to do anything other than collect people from different time periods, though.

* [[Poke the Poodle]]: Kidnaps different people, especially heroes, from different time periods as a means of collecting them and keeps them inside spherical glass cases made just for them. And for that? {{spoiler|He ends up as a collectible for an even BIGGER collector, and is unable to escape the case due to not having the Vigilette anymore}}.

* [[Necromantic]]: Vayle's primary reason for becoming a Necromantress was to find a way to bring her brother back.

* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Rejection]]: And even when Artix lets the two siblings reunite, she's STILL mad because Artix ruined an entire lifetime of necromancy that she devoted to trying to bring him back, and that the next time they meet, it will be as mortal enemies. Ouch.}}

* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Towards Artix in the Doomwood saga.

* [[The Grim Reaper]]: What did you expect?

* [[The Necromancer]]: Has the ability to turn your Red Dragon pet into a Dracolich, as well as having {{spoiler|restored Chuckles (or at least his head) to unlife}}.
