This is the character sheet for the the [[Teen Titans (
== The Teen Titans ==
Line 9 ⟶ 10:
Robin is, at heart, a fairly normal teenager, enjoying hanging out and chilling as much as his comrades do. However, he's Batman's ex-sidekick, and this means he shares his mentor's fixation on discipline and hard work, which can put him at odds with his more relaxed teammates. He's also got issues of his own, namely a tendency to fixate on problems to such an extent that he stops paying attention to anything but "the mission", which has damaged his friendships on more then one occasion. Despite this, he is loyal to his team and takes threats against them seriously indeed.
Due to [[Shrug of God|the ambivalence in the show]], Legend Maker was unsure of which Robin to portray in the story and decided on Timothy Drake (the Third Robin). This resulted in royally screwing up the timeline, as it was revealed through [[Mythology Gag|Mythology Gags]] he was Dick Grayson, the First Robin. This resulted in a very different characterization of Robin over time in the Legendverse stories.
Powers and Abilities: [[Badass Normal]] with a variety of weapons and devices.
* [[Anti
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[Bishonen]]
Line 20 ⟶ 21:
* [[Catch Phrase]] "Teen Titans...GO!" Sometimes shortened to "Titans...GO!"
* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]
* [[Crazy Prepared]] (Half-subverted in that he has a very specific range of gadgets, instead choosing to apply them in creative ways.) This attribute has also worn off greatly onto both Cyborg and Savior.
* [[Determinator]]
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]
* [[Expressive Mask]]
* [[Fatal Flaw]]: Unlike the animated show, Robin is much more laid back, less paranoid, and has a great deal of pride in his work and the team. This can go to extremes when tensions within the team threaten to break it apart at various points in the timeline.
* [[Genre Blind]]
* [[The Hero]]
* [[Hot
* [[Not Himself]]: Particularly in the 9:40am arc of Flashing Lights and Sounds.
* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: with Starfire
* [[Screaming Warrior]]
* [[Shonen Hair]]
* [[The Stoic]]: [[Batman]] has apparently rubbed off on him, but this eventually lightens up a bit when Savior takes it to extreme levels and has several breakdowns.
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]: He's not really tall when he's a teenager, but he's definitely dark and handsome.
=== Starfire ===
Line 41 ⟶ 42:
Starfire is a strange mixture of personality traits; most of the time, she acts quite gentle and demure, possibly due to expectations of Earth culture and desire to better assimilate in her adopted home, but when the need arises she can be as much the fearsome warrior as any of her comrades. Starfire is deeply fascinated by Earth and enjoys learning new things... perhaps partially because it gives her an excuse to get closer to her leader.
Powers And Abilities: Flight, superstrength, projecting "starbolts" from hands and/or eyes, [[Flight, Strength, Heart|learning languages by kissing]]
* [[Cain and Abel|Abel To Blackfire's Cain]]
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Alien Lunch]]: Has some weird tastes in Earth food -- admittedly, some of it is because she's not a native and so doesn't truly know what humans eat, but she's also got some very strange eating habits (like considering mustard a drink). Her friends treat her as something of a [[Lethal Chef]]: whenever she tries to cook a Tamaranian meal for them. This is especially true in any of the holiday fanfics.
* [[Apologetic Attacker]]: This changes drastically as the timelines progress, where she becomes more pragmatic and stoic in fights.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]
* [[Badass Princess]]
* [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]: 9 stomachs.
** Not to mention the three/four meter long prehensile tongue.
* [[Blunt Metaphors Trauma]]: She eventually learns some nuances of English and

* [[Flying Brick]]
Line 67 ⟶ 68:
* [[Hot Amazon]]
* [[Magic Skirt]]

* [[Pardon My Klingon|Pardon My Tamaranian]]: For a girl who is supposed to be sweet and innocent, she uses Tamaranian swears frequently.
* [[Ping
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Proud Warrior Race Girl]]
* [[Puberty Superpower]]: eye-beams
* [[Redheaded Hero]]
* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: with Robin
* [[Sibling Yin
* [[Spock Speak]]: A rare version in that she does not speak this way due to a fascination with logic/science, but as a sign of her relative inexperience with Earth languages.
** She's also [[
* {{spoiler|[[Surprise Pregnancy]]}}
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Mustard. It's her favorite ''drink''.
Line 94 ⟶ 95:
* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Beast Man]]: He even tries to name himself this.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Although BB has the reputation for being kind and easy going, he is also easily the one who can swing into [[Ax Crazy]] animalism if the situation calls for it.
* [[The Big Guy]] (Subversion -- He's the shortest and skinniest member on the team, but relies on brute force)
* [[The Chew Toy]]
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: He does this a lot whenever he's underestimated in the fanfics.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: A rare male example.
Line 103 ⟶ 104:
* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]
* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Towards Terra.

Line 112 ⟶ 113:

* [[Sidekick Glass Ceiling]]
* [[
* [[Temporary Love Interest]]: Charm
* [[Trickster Archetype]]: What is it with shapeshifters, jokes and pranks?
Line 120 ⟶ 121:
The half-human daughter of Arella Roth, a human woman who managed to find her way to the other dimension of Azarath/a native of Azarath (the show isn't clear) and Trigon the Terrible, a dread and powerful demon lord who intended to use Raven to open a portal that would allow him to enslave Earth. As a result of her race, Raven has powerful telepathic and psychokinetic abilities that are destabilized by her emotional level -- in other words, if she fails to keep her emotions tightly in check, her psychic power runs rampant, breaking and destroying her surroundings until she calms down. Presumably due to her birthplace, she is also versed in a wide variety of occult lore and a skilled practitioner of magic. She also has the power to astral project, dispatching her soul from her body to teleport herself or others, and to heal, though it's left unclear if these are [[Psychic Powers]] innate to her or mystical powers she has learned from her studies.
Because of her background and powers, Raven is a solitary, quiet individual who prefers to avoid interacting with others much, but displays a biting, acerbic wit and a love for sarcasm when she does.

* [[Birthmark of Destiny]]

Line 143 ⟶ 144:
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: She certainly ''has'' emotions, and very powerful ones, but she has to keep them repressed to control her powers. She eventually learns to control them without repressing her emotions, so this only lasts for a few stories.

* [[Purple Eyes]]

Line 166 ⟶ 167:
* [[The Stoic]]
* [[Stylish Protection Gear]]
* [[Super
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Though she's actually rather short and has short hair, she's is very pretty, dark and aloof, and comes with more than enough trouble to qualify.
* [[Tsundere]]
* [[You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry]]: While she eventually keeps her emotions from having her powers run rampant, her increasing magic abilities provide a controlled alternative to vent her wrath.
Line 180 ⟶ 181:

Line 201 ⟶ 202:
=== Savior ===
Noel Collins, the first [[Original Character]] to be introduced in the Legendverse. He undergoes a lot of character development, starting out as a [[Fan Boy]] (he just wanted to meet Batman...) and eventually becomes an [[Ascended Fanboy]] when Robin recognizes that his abilities could be useful to the team. He sways from being [[Four
Powers and Abilities: The Shimmer, a semi-sentient nervous system that can [[Green Lantern Ring|form shapes and perform tasks]] with greater strength and resilience than the average human. He can use the Shimmer to link nervous systems, repair nerve damage, and eventually read minds, so long as the Shimmer is in direct contact with the person.

* [[Defector From Decadence]]
* [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant]]: [[Deadpan Snarker|Snarky]], [[Troubled but Cute|angsty]], has [[Calling the Old Man Out|major daddy issues]], sometimes [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|comes close to crossing the moral line]] but [[The Atoner|always comes back]], [[White

* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: Leads to a [[Heroic BSOD]] each time.
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]
* [[Inferiority Superiority Complex]]: Highly critical of newer members, but constantly hung up on his own mistakes as well.
* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: He can be a bit of a bastard, but the sheer amount of pain he goes through will, at some point, make you want to hug him.
* [[Like Father, Like Son]]: As much as he [[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him|dislikes it]].
* [[Love At First Sight]]: Towards Raven, which doesn't reciprocate for a good while.
* [[Man in White]]: Played straight. When Savior becomes less innocent and more like an Anti-hero, he wears colors other than white.
* [[No Medication for Me]]: During Model Citizen.
* [[Pastimes Prove Personality]]: He enjoys reading philosophy and history, building up a book collection in his otherwise spartan room.
* [[Properly Paranoid]]: {{spoiler|Slade discovers his real name}}.
* [[The Scrooge]]: In pretty much every Christmas story.
* [[The Snark Knight]]
* [[Welcome Back, Traitor]]

'''A description of the character goes here.'''

* [[Badass Cape]]
* [[Expressive Ears]]
Line 252 ⟶ 254:
* [[Impossibly Tacky Clothes]]: [[Bring My Red Jacket|Red pimp clothes]] and hat, with a cape... while fighting crime?
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]: Except he's [[Combat Medic|a doctor]].
* [[Samaritan Syndrome]]: While this applies to heroes in general, Scalpel turns it [[Up to Eleven]] by risking serious injury and facing his fears at the drop of a hat; he can't hold himself back if he thinks he can genuinely help a situation.
* [[Shell
* [[Wound That Will Not Heal]]: Because even though he's a doctor, he keeps getting it ripped open.
* [[Wolverine Claws]]: Blacktrinians have metal claws grafted onto their fingers from a young age, which is apt for a war-obsessed alien race.

Line 267 ⟶ 270:

* [[Death Is Dramatic]]: {{spoiler|At least it seemed so in Black & White, until it's revealed that he managed to survive.}}
* [[Enigmatic Empowering Entity]]: Only recently began experimenting with his ability to do this to recruit [[Fully
* [[Fatal Flaw]]: A vampire-esque weakness to sunlight, as well as an obsession with psychologically breaking the Titans before killing them.

* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars|Evil Scars]]
* [[Hobbes Was Right]]
* [[Horror Hunger]]: After some experiments in multiple stories, the Lord eventually masters the ability to drain negative emotions from people for his own power.
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: His preferred weapon, even after his ascendency.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]
* [[Meaningful Titles]]: The Lord of the Night. Who claims to be a god. Who learns to create life in one of the AU's in Time and Time Again. The blasphemy is hard to ignore.
Line 295 ⟶ 298:
* [[The Nicknamer]]: He has a new name for ''everything''.
* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]
** The [[Well
** Also a possible [[Ubermensch]], since he realizes no one else thinks his method is the solution.

* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: In his second appearance in a fight in the Sahara Desert, he {{spoiler|briefly summons a black hole that burns a hundred mile crater of glass in the landscape}}. And then with Crisis Point, {{spoiler|he's able to go toe to toe with Physical God villain Superboy-Prime and win, and then, albeit with a [[Deus Ex Machina]] or two, kill his way across half of DC's 'lesser-knowns' and battle Superman and several other equally powered characters to a standstill}}.

* [[The Presents Were Never From Santa]]: He ''loves'' to utilize this trope to recruit [[Replacement Mooks|mook armies]] for his [[Xanatos Speed Chess]] plans.

* [[Psycho for Hire]]
* [[Silent Antagonist]]
Line 311 ⟶ 315:
Powers and Abilities: Capable of utilizing the Grimmer, a Shimmer-esque ability that is linked to his bloodstream. It's harder to cut than the Shimmer as well.
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: His power is tied into his bloodstream. Blood has a lot of iron. Iron is a conductor of electricity. You do the math.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Savior.
* [[Jack the Ripper]]
Line 317 ⟶ 321:
=== Mortimer ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
=== Genocide ===
Team 1: Murdercrow, Shadowmaster, and Sizzle were recruited by the Lord for his second appearance in Black & White, where he gains his new powers.
Team 2: Carcinogen, Aguardiente, and Hyperthermia were recruited and empowered to protect the Lord's new project in Hearts of Darkness.

=== Marissa Mori ===
Quiet, introverted, and psychologically scarred by abuses. She first appears in Wings of the Eagles as a [[Parental Incest|rape victim]] gone [[Insane Equals Violent|crazy]]. She develops a [[Split Personality]] named [[Ax Crazy|Zia]], who massacres her school before Marissa re-emerges and is [[Driven to Suicide]]; though Raven manages to save her life, she remains stuck in a coma for an unknown amount of time. She later [[Unexplained Recovery|recovers somehow]] and makes brief appearances as an aid (or an experiment) of the Lord of the Night, eventually becoming known to the Titans in Boogeymen Gaiden: The Carriage. In her later appearances, Marissa seems "cured" of her Dissociative Identity Disorder, but the appearance of a [[Doppelganger]] going by the name of Zia implies that they were somehow [[
Powers and Abilities: None innately, but seems to be a [[Gadgeteer Genius]] with the creation of a [[Your Mind Makes It Real|mind-warping helmet]] and several versions of [[Mecha
* [[Axes At School]]: Leading to an immensely bloody massacre of fellow students and some teachers.
* [[Emotion Suppression]]: A reason she thinks the Lord can help her.
* [[Epiphanic Prison]]: It's heavily implied that she works for The Lord because [[Emotion Control|she's afraid of everything else]].

* [[Girl
* [[Master of Illusion]]: Only with her helmet, which appeared in her introductory arc; it has not reappeared.
* [[My Master, Right or Wrong]]: It's still uncertain if she really ''does'' know what the Lord's up to or if [[Questionable Consent|he's been feeding her lies]].
* [[Psycho Supporter]]
** May be due to [[Batman Gambit|manipulations by her boss]].
** Or [[Brainwashed and Crazy|she wasn't really fixed and he just made her worse]].
* [[Rape
