Ruby Quest/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Chaotic Good: Tom's actions are often rash compared to Ruby's, and he will usually never think twice when asked to smash something, and he especially won't think twice if something's going after Ruby.
    • Chaotic Evil: Filbert's type 5. The Barbed Wheel is type 4, for the most part.
  • Complete Monster: How was Filbert before going crazy? No one knows, but now he's the only character who gains no sympathy whatsoever.
  • Ensemble Dark Hound: There's a lot of fanart of Daisy. ...Mostly pornographic.
  • Heartwarming Moments: Ruby does her best pirate impression, complete with hook hand, to cheer a horribly sick Tom up. Double points as she succeeds!
  • Hell Is That Noise: Though, it is only narrated with drawn illustrations and no sounds are ever heard, what noises that are being described are sometimes very much so.
  • Lawful Good: Ruby mostly tries her best to reason, think things through, and choose the most responsible action in situations that she can.
    • Lawful Evil: The only reason Ace does anything bad is because he's taking orders from... someone. He's even seen helping Red after Ruby attacked him. As of recently, he holds absolutely no sympathy or empathy for his patients under his new master, apparently.
    • Lawful Neutral: Bella.
  • Meaningful Echo: Although not particularly mentioned--nor even directly defined--during the story, the phrases "Elemental Plane of Teeth" and "Barbed Wheel" are repeated by the players on occasion.
  • Memetic Molester: Filbert. Largely because he looks like Pedobear. Also, "NotWeaver's" posts probably have a lot to do with it, as well.
    • Also, the Dummy. ==>
      I'M GOING TO RAPE YOU. ALL OF YOU.
  • Memetic Mutation: "HUG X", "READ THE NOTE"
    • Memetic Badass: Ace. Though, compared to his current sate-of-being, it's not exaggerated that much.
  • Magnificent Bastard: Both Red and Weaver himself, at any rate.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Filbert was already far from sympathetic, but he crosses this line when it is revealed that he euthanized one of his patients just so that he could see what would happen when she came Back from the Dead.
  • Needs More Love: Although Ruby Quest is legend around the 1d4chan community, it is seldom known or spoken of outside the fanbase.
  • Neutral Good: During the times that Stitches is conscious and aware of his actions, he tries his best to keep the others from harm even if its from himself.
  • Squick:
    • Ruby is occasionally instructed to put weird and/or disgusting things in her mouth. She soon learns that she shouldn't always trust the 4chan community.
    • All the random, dismembered body-parts found lying about the facility.
      • On the same note, how much Ruby/Tom are seen messing around with them!
  • What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?: Primarily the April Fools' Day gag and John Quest, but especially the Ruby Quest Déjà Vu gag near the end.
  • The Woobie: Tom, while he was deathly ill and trapped in Red's cell; Stitches, due to his overall volatile Butt Monkey status; and Jay, who was (almost) left to suffer for who knows how long in the facility's water filtration unit in Cold Storage.
