Spider Riders/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Spider Riders

Hunter Steele

The excitable Hero, who gets transported to the Inner World, something he takes extremely well, all things considered. Impulsive and sometimes irritating, however his boundless enthusiasm can be an asset.

  • Big Good: By default as, by the end of the series he saves the whole Inner World.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Occasionally, of course he's not nearly as bad as Shadow.
  • Honor Before Reason: Hunter Steele defines this trope in spades sometimes.
  • Idiot Hero: While he's not necessarily unintelligent he does sometimes lack in common sense.
  • The Messiah
  • Nice Guy: Hunter is one of the nicest you'll ever meet.
  • Nakama: Not only Hunter but all the Riders are in the trope
  • Oblivious to Love: Hunter has not one, not two but possibly THREE girls after him!
  • Turn the Other Cheek: Is willing to forgive anybody and give them a Second Chance: Grasshop, Buguese, Beerain, Stags, and MANTID!

Corona

Corona, the first person Hunter encounters in the Inner World. She provides invaluable help to him from the start. She's often very unsure of herself,and she's constantly worried about Hunter. She will often go to almost any length to know that he's safe, a real Action Girlfriend.

Igneous

Igneous is one of Arachnas's greatest knights. Together, with his old friend Grey/Slate, they make up the Claw and Fang of Arachna. He puts a lot of pride in protecting his kingdom, as well as the prince and princess. While Igneous can be serious to a fault, he's also completely hopeless when it comes to love, and hairstyleing!

Magma

Magma was originally a wanderer, but later became a full-fledged Spider Rider. He despises the Insectors/Invectids, due to the fact that they killed his family, and that his spider's sister is under their control. His favorite thing in life is the hero Quake. He can also be very calm and laid back.

Lumen

Lumen is the prince of Arachna, though you wouldn't know it by looking at him. He's incredibly lazy and likes to sleep, not to mention a total flirt. He's also very protective of Sparkle and jealous of anyone that impresses her.

Sparkle

She is the princess of Arachna and the youngest Rider. Often shielded and protected, which she hates. She's very brave and wants to be able to fight like the other riders. She's naive and trusting, but becomes friends with Grasshop because of this.

Aqune

Aqune is a Spider Rider in the Insector's/Invectid's service. She was taken in by Buguese when she was young. She willingly uses her powers to help restore the Insector's/Invectid's sun, but dislikes fighting. Therefore, she's controlled by a mask in order to fight against the Spider Riders. Aqune cares for Hunter a lot, much to Corona's dismay.

  • Cursed with Awesome: You can tell she dosen't always enjoy her responsibility's.
  • Easy Amnesia: Averted. It's never really explained how she and Corona got their amnesia.
  • The Dragon: The Invectids consider her there secret weapon. Which is completely understandible when you see her in action.
  • The Quiet One
  • Sixth Ranger: More like the eighth.

Spiders

Shadow

Hunter's spider partner, a prideful warrior who thinks he doesn't need help from anyone. He hates crowds.

Venus

Corona's battle spider partner. She is soft-spoken and polite, but is also a fearless fighter.

Flame

Igneous' battle spider, has the ability to shoot webs made out of fire. He NEVER speaks... EVER!

Brutus

Magma's battle spider, has tremendous strength, and is looking for his long lost sister, Portia.

  • Bit Character: Other than looking for his sister, he doesn't do much for the plot.
  • Mandatory Line: "Right!" seems to be about the only thing he EVER says.

Ebony

Lumen's battle spider. Said to be very powerful and destructive. Lumen doesn't call him out much, for fear of accidentally hurting someone.

  • Hidden Depths: He finally talks (much to everyone's shock and amazement) to persuade Lumen into taking Sparkle into battle.

Hotarla

Sparkle's battle spider. Unlike the other spiders, she's practically still a baby.

  • Gentle Giant: Not as big as the other spiders, but she still counts.

Portia

Aqune's battle spider. She is Brutus's missing little sister. Like Aqune, Portia wears a mask that controls her.

Invectids/Insectors

Mantid

Lord Mantid is a mantis-type Insector/Invectid, he directs the Insector/Invectid troops to remove the wasteful and hated humans from the Inner World and find the Oracle Keys. He needs the Oracle Keys to sustain himself. Eventually Mantid reveals that he was an Earthen once, a chosen warrior of the Oracle, pulled into the Inner World. His reason for taking the Oracle's power is revenge upon the Inner World and the Oracle herself.

Larva P. Grasshop

Member of the Big Four, he is a grasshopper-type Insector/Invectid who uses gadgets and devices to defeat enemies. He doesn't really like to fight the Riders; letting his minions do the fighting for him instead.

  • Adult Child
  • All of the Other Reindeer: How he feel's about being in the Big Four. It doesn't help that the other members agree with the sentiment.
  • Affably Evil: at first anyway.
  • Butt Monkey: Whenever something goes wrong, even if it has nothing to do with him. He's usually the one to get punished.
  • Lovable Coward
  • Not So Harmless: Ridiculous he may be, but his intense battling in the finale shows that there's a pretty good reason he was allowed to join the Big Four in the first place.

Buguese

Mantid's right hand man, with many plans to defeat the Spider Riders. He is the leader of the Big Four. He also despises the Oracle. Buguese claims to care little for his comrades, but he has shown respect for Stags, and concern for Aqune, whom he is mentor to and Beerain.

Beerain

She is a bee-type Insector/Invectid who uses a whip to fight. She is a member of the Big Four and commands the buzzrays She has a certain charm about her. When fighting, she has no regard for honor and thinks winning is everything.

Stags

He is a stag beetle-type Insector/Invectid who is very powerful and very loyal to the Invectid cause. He wields a short Zanbato. He is considered by many as the most powerful of the Big Four. He has a strong sense of honor, and cannot stand when it is disrespected.
