Spoilers to follow.

Tayagum and Akuudan

Tayagum and Akuudan are a pair of married Water Tribe men. While serving as agents of Chief Oyaluk, they became involved in a diplomatic incident and were imprisoned by the Earth King. Avatar Yangchen negotiated their release, and thereafter they became two of Yangchen’s most trusted companions. They run an inn in the city of Jonduri that doubles as a base for the Avatar.


Hover over a feat to see which book and chapter it comes from.


Tayagum

“There’s a big difference between holding a prisoner and getting them to talk. You taught the Avatar that lesson pretty good, and the two of us, well, we’ve known it for a long time. Did a stint in King Feishan’s worst cells, and the interrogations we went through? The story alone would turn your hair white.”

Tayagum is a Waterbender and an experienced sailor. He has a surly personality and is devoted to the Avatar but suspicious of anyone else.

Respect the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee!

Summary

The Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee, later named the Radiant Garden Restoration Committee, was founded in the hope of restoring Radiant Garden to its former glory and eradicating the Heartless infestation from the town for good. Cid created a defense system called Claymores that would destroy weaker Heartless and occupy stronger ones until a committee member could arrive to dispose of them. When an army Heartless swarmed the town, the Committee defended it alongside Sora and friends. Within a year's work, the committee managed to restore most of the town's former image.

All members of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee carry a membership card. Their meetings take place in Merlin's house inside the town walls.


All feats for members are labeled as follows:

  1. Kingdom Hearts

  2. Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories

  3. Kingdom Hearts 2

  4. Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

  5. Kingdom Hearts 3

Members

Aerith Gainsborough

”No matter how far away we are, our hearts will bring us together again.”

Aerith acts as a gentle guide, offering advice and support to Sora, Squall, Cloud, and others. She is shown to be very knowledgeable, particularly on the subject of Ansem and her home’s history. She is kind and cares very deeply about her friends.

Despite never physically being seen in battle, she is implied at one point to have held off waves of Heartless spawned by the MCP, coldly spurning Leon's concern over whether she would be able to handle it by herself. This suggests that she does possesses some combat abilities.

Abilities

Cid Highwind

”I hope you're not expectin' me to turn a dream into data."

Cid is is an expert pilot and mechanic originally from Radiant Garden. He is one of the first characters that Sora befriends in Traverse Town, first owning an Accessory Shop in the center of the town's 1st District, then later on opening a shop which specializes in Gummi Ship parts. He helps Sora and his friends navigate the universe by upgrading their Gummi Ship.

Cid is adept with computers and building programs, acting as the restoration committee’s chief engineer. He is blunt and sometimes cynical—usually about magic—but he’s deeply caring and fiercely protective.

Abilities


Allies

Fairy Godmother

”It's dangerous to fight darkness with light, my dear. Strong rays of sun create dark shadows."

Sometime prior to the events of Kingdom Hearts, her world, Castle of Dreams, was destroyed by the Heartless, but she managed to escape safely. She initially resides in Merlin's study in Traverse Town. When Sora brings her Summon Gems—spirits of inhabitants from worlds consumed by darkness—she casts a spell to temporarily summon these allies into battle.

After Sora sealed Kingdom Hearts, the Fairy Godmother returned to her world with Cinderella, but she remained an ally to the heroes in reuniting with Sora.

Teleporting

Other Magic


The Gullwings

”Oh, we're nothing worth mentioning."

The Gullwings are a group of treasure-hunting fairies made up of Yuna, Rikku, and Paine. Yuna is unfailingly kindhearted and polite; Rikku is good-natured and ditzy; and Paine is emotionally distant and anti-social.

Initially working for Maleficent in exchange for treasure, they agree to work with Sora and Leon after Maleficent abandons them, but only if Leon pays them to do so. When confronting Sora, Donald, and Goofy, Rikku complains about Leon not having any treasure and Paine says, "And we fought for you guys", almost as if it was a crime to help someone out without receiving payment. Nonetheless, they do seem to have a strong moral compass, as they decide to let Sora off without consequence upon hearing of his troubld with Organization XIII and search for his missing friends.

Respect Yuffie!

”I'm the great ninja Yuffie!"

Character Summary

Yuffie is a resident of Radiant Garden and a part of the resistance against Heartless attacks. She is a close friend of Leon, Aerith, and Cid, and befriends Sora, Donald, and Goofy when they first arrive.

She travels with Leon, whom she often refers to by his real name, Squall—this usually causes annoyance on Leon's part. She sometimes refers to herself as the "Great Ninja Yuffie", wielding a large Fuma Shuriken as her weapon.

Yuffie has a hyperactive personality, but tires out easily due to her high energy and quick movement. She is hard-working and determined, set on repairing her home and aiding Sora in his campaign against the Heartless and other foes. She is usually friendly and cheerful, if a bit mischievous.

games Respect Cloud Strife (Kingdom Hearts)

16 Upvotes

Respect Cloud Strife!

”I tried to exploit the power of darkness, but it backfired. I fell into darkness, and I couldn't find the light."

Character Summary

Cloud Strife is an ally of Sora, Donald, and Goofy in the Kingdom Hearts universe. He comes across as stoic, cold, indifferent, and melancholic, but there’s a noble warrior underneath his gruff exterior.

He first makes his appearance in the Olympus Coliseum, striking a deal with Hades to kill Hercules in exchange for help finding his nemesis, Sephiroth. Along the way he ends up fighting Sora, and either loses to him or spares him after their battle. This results in Hades summoning Cerberus to kill Herc, Sora, and Cloud.

After Sora defeats Cerberus, Cloud apologizes for his actions and the heroes make amends. He shows up later fighting alongside Squall in another tournament, and may have an encounter with Sephiroth if Sora defeats Seph first.

By Kingdom Hearts 2 Cloud seems to have become familiar with the heroes of Hollow Bastion, working alongside Squall, Aerith, and Tifa. He’s still somewhat standoffish and obsessed with finding Sephiroth so he can overcome his inner darkness, but with the help of his friends he’s able to find a light that can guide him as he ventures onward.

Memory Cloud

”I'm not here for the Cup. Just Hercules. Today he loses more than the competition.”

Memory Cloud is a replica of the real Cloud that exists in Castle Oblivion, constructed from Sora's memories. This version of Cloud also serves as a mercenary for Memory Hades, this time to regain his lost memories. Hades promises to help him, but only if Cloud competes in the games and kills Hercules. In typical Hades fashion, Memory Hades goes back on their agreement and attempts to kill Sora, Cloud, and Hercules, inspiring the three to work together to thwart him.

Respect the Mahjarrat

When an sick being of great power had a nightmare she accidentality created a race of powerful shapeshifters known as the Mahjarrat based on the creatures she dreamt of. These beings had some resemblance to another on of her creations, Zaros who got tired of serving her in her sickness and departed the planet for his own freedom. Serene believes the reason the Mahjarrat were created was due to how desperate she was for Zaros to return. Due to her weakened state the Mahjarrat would be forced to return magical energy to their creator in the form of a ritual that sacrifices one of their own kin.

The Mahjarrat had an opportunity to leave the desecrated home world when they were recruited into a war on Gelinor against a familiar invader, Zaros. These conflicts split them into factions of Zarosian and Zamorakians and ultimately ended with the god Guthix casting a spell which the banished gods from Gelinor.

The Mahjarrat found themselves being some of the strongest beings on the Gelinor and took advantage of that fact. However due to war , comically bad reproduction rates and the aforementioned ritual; their population runs close to extinction. With schemes and sabotages centuries in the making executed. The next ritual threatens to be a bloodbath

Respect Sliske (Old School RuneScape)


Sliske is a cunning and meticulous mahjarrat whos schemes have seen him rise to the top time and time again. He is an elusive figure who is a master over shadow magic and shapeshifting , the perfect tool kit for someone so snakelike. At some point Sliske had enough time to question his loyal to the Zarosian cause and started acting as a free agent against the factions of the other mahjarrat. His most recent scheme was a long-con scheme to steal from a ancient and forgotten fortress enhanced with magic to keep out mahjarrat intruders .The item he stole was a powerful magical artifact with the ability to control others.

Sources and notes

  • Sliske uses his shapeshifting ability to assume the identity of many others in OSRS to manipulate events and test others while being incognito. This thread will showcase Sliske preforming feats when disguised via his shapeshifting powers.
    • This thread will assume his actions when disguised were deliberate despite how they were framed at the time as he was successful with his overall gambit.
    • Additionally limits Sliske shows when disguised will be ignored since for his plan he needs people he's disguised as to vulnerable .
  • Several feats are indirect ,cryptic and rather hard to showcase why how Sliske is responsible without story knowledge.
    • Bits of post quest dialogue mention Sliske is disguising himself as people who were dead before the adventurer met them allowing us to know when he shapeshifted to disguise himself.
    • References to a stranger or a serpent are Sliske in this thread.
  • One or two feats are for a individual who is very likely to be Sliske, but no explicit in-universe confirmation exists

Sliske's Wights


Sliske uses necromancy and shadow magic in some kind of manner to have people serve him in death as shadowy ghost like figures. The specific flavour of necromancy Sliske uses implicitly was learnt in the Lassar undercity where when he researched the affects of the ancient pillar and the shadow realm. It is mentioned that victims of the shadows act like puppets but unlike normal necromancy, the victim's soul still exists. He prefers to use his magic on individuals who have overcome hard trials and has offered bargain to them when they live (although, there is no evidence that a bargain is needed for him to work his magic and in RS3 he make a wight accidentaly without a bargain). In total he currently controls 10 wights.

Respect The Tick!

"I'm a superhero arthur. I'm nigh-invulnerable. I have the reflexes of an Olympic-level jungle cat. I have the strength of ten, perhaps twenty men. A crowded bus stop...of men. But my greatest power is this. When destiny speaks...she speaks to me… She says hi, by the way!”

Character Summary

In a world where superheros have been real for decades, an accountant with no superpowers comes to realize his city is owned by a super villain. As he struggles to uncover this conspiracy, he falls in league with a strange blue superhero: The Tick.

A man with a past unknown even to himself, The Tick is unfailingly polite, boisterously heroic, and profoundly optimistic. Most of all, he’s 100% dedicated to the ideals of fighting for justice and obeying whatever Destiny tells him. He is an amnesiac with no memory of his past prior to meeting Arthur, driven only by a pure, earnest desire to do good and protect the downtrodden. His innocent nature can make him a bit naive, and he often acts with a somewhat goofy sense of wonder, but his heart is always in the right place.

He is also prone to dramatic and whimsical dialogues.

Denji

Denji is a child of the far future, having been born on a megastructure riddled space colony that has been periodically under siege by "White Gauna" for at least 600 years. The Observation Bureau, an organization dedicated to the defeat of the White Gauna, took in Denji as a child and trained him to obliterate the Gauna over his formative years.

Late into his adolescence, tragedy struck. Unknown to Denji, the Bureau had been secretly planning to transform him into one of the very monsters he'd been sworn to destroy: a so-called "Black Gauna". Manifesting his powers late in the night, Denji slaughtered the Bureau in revenge and escaped to the life of a working civilian. Despite his efforts, fate comes for us all, and years after his escape his childhood friend Tadohomi tracked down poor Denji to warn him of a chain of White Gauna manifestations. Denji's good nature gets the better of him, and ABARA opens to non-stop carnage continued until the literal end of the world.

As a quick note, please understand that ABARA is not an easy work to comprehend, so some parts of this thread may be speculative. I've tried to avoid or note this where possible, but you should read the comment underneath the RT for more information.

Respect Arthur Everest!

”I know how much it hurts to lose someone you love...Pain so intense that it actually changes you. And people say, y’know, they say that it gets better, that in time it goes away, but that’s not true. Not really. I mean, it might fade some, but it never really goes away. I still miss my dad everyday. I think that’s okay.”

Character Summary

Arthur Everest (AKA Moth Boy, AKA Moth Man, AKA The Accountant, AKA Truthseeker89) is a mild-mannered part-time superhero and former accountant for The City. Timid and somewhat cowardly, Arthur is an unwavering advocate for justice who stands up for what’s right despite often feeling like he’s the least qualified person to do so.

Arthur’s origin story begins when he was just a boy, enjoying ice cream with his father. His dad went to put more money in the parking meter when an aircraft belonging to the Flag Five crashed on top of him and the car, killing him. The Terror had used a weaponized version of syphilis to destroy the Flag 5's eyes, causing them to crash their Flagship into The City. Arthur watched as The Terror's henchmen killed the Flag 5, then the Terror stole his ice cream and mocked him. A picture taken of the incident made Arthur famous when it was featured on the cover of a magazine.

Ever since that day, Arthur spent years in therapy, and was tormented by delusions and voices which he treated with medication. Although The Terror was seemingly killed by Superian a year after the death of his father, Arthur believed that the villain survived and went underground, continuing to run all the crime in The City. Collecting newspaper clippings and information, he hoped to prove this theory.

While investigating a criminal operation at a warehouse run by the Pyramid Gang, Arthur encountered a new superhero who called himself The Tick. The Tick believed that Arthur was a hero like him, ready to take out the bad guys, but their investigation went awry when the warehouse exploded.

Arthur was initially convinced by his sister to believe that The Tick was a figment of his imagination, that he was slipping back into insanity. The Tick disagree, telling Arthur that he was going sane in a crazy world. He encourages Arthur to join him in fighting crime—with Arthur's brain and The Tick's brawn, they could be an effective duo—and gives Arthur a high-tech super-suit that he procured from the warehouse the previous night. Arthur tries on the suit against his better judgement, causing the suit to sync with him. From there, his journey as a superhero would begin.

Respect Overkill!

”I’m an avenging avatar. I am the darkness within the light.”

Character Summary

SPOILERS AHEAD!

Overkill is a vigilante with cybernetic enhancements, described by The City police as a "robo-ninja.” Overkill believes violence is always the best solution to any problem.

Before he became Overkill, he was known as Straight Shooter, Uncle Samson’s sidekick and a member of the Flag Five. After losing his team, his eyes, and his hands, he was rescued by AEGIS Commander Rathbone, who had the agency create artificial hands and eyes for him.

Rathbone became like a father to Overkill, [retraining him]((https://www.reddit.com/r/RTvideos/s/rdpyWv8XlT) and turning him into a heavy action operative. He became so deadly and skilled that Rathbone placed him in charge of the elite Perseus squadron. He spent years in classified war zones as a government-trained assassin.

Then another traumatic mishap, this time a mission to apprehend a super tech dealer known as The Duke, ended in the death of Overkill’s team. Believing that he would be marked as a traitor, Overkill went on the run from AEGIS and became the vigilante he is today.

Overkill is a beacon of hardened rage who punishes evildoers wherever he goes, usually (and preferably) by killing them. His dark attitude frequently clashes with the more noble seeker of justice, who see him as something of a jerk. Despite all this, there is a caring man locked inside the mental glacier underneath 10,000 tons of solid mind ice, and he does truly care for those who have earned the right to call themselves his friends people in his life.

But I accidentally made 2 of them, as usual, which is damn annoying. You know how hard it is to take care of two ant colonies at the same time?”

Not much is known about who SCP-022-VN is or what his history might be beyond the fact that he appears to be a powerful reality bending humanoid entity. He claims to be responsible for creating the SCP Foundation, but due to his abilities only ever working in twos it resulted in the creation of two different SCP Foundations at the same time. At some point he decided he wanted there to only be one Foundation, so to subvert the nature of his own power he decided to threaten them into destroying each other. Inexplicably, this led to him hosting a competition between the two Foundations in their own version of the TV show “Instant Hotel”.

Idolising Rokuhira, Uruha lost his will to live when he heard he had been killed by a group of sorcerers called the Hishaku.

It was during this assault where he met Kunishige's son Chihiro, who reignited the fire inside him and pushed him to fight back against the Hishaku so his allies' sacrifice wouldn't be in vain.

Respect Dot Everest!

Character Summary

Dorothy "Dot" Everest is an EMT and the older sister of Arthur Everest. After losing their father at an early age during the Terror's massacre of The Flag 5, Dot looked out for the welfare of her brother, who took the traumatic event much worse.

As an adult, she trained to be an EMT and worked in The City, doing side work as a medic for the Pyramid Gang’s thugs whenever they bit off more than they could chew. This inevitably lead to her learning of Arthur’s secret life as a superhero with the Tick. While initially skeptical and cautious of her brother’s activities, she eventually comes around and becomes not only supportive, but a full-on crime-fighter herself, working alongside the vigilante Overkill. She later learns that she’s a Category, with the power of clairvoyance.

In a world of extremists and insanity, Dot tends to be the voice of reason among her friends and family. She’s a caring individual who doesn’t want to see anyone she cares about suffer, but she also accepts the responsibility to stand up for what’s right.

Respect AEGIS

AEGIS is a federal agency tasked with working with superheroes and fighting supervillains. The agency is responsible for enforcing the 28th Amendment—protecting the identity of superheroes from the public, and keeping a database of all active superheroes. AEGIS is supposed to use advanced technology and skilled agents to complete missions, though they are often weighed down by bureaucracy and procedures.

The AEGIS field office in The City was eventually shut down after the deaths of the original Flag Five. They reestablished their presence after The Terror’s return and defeat, resuming operations.


Members

Agent Commander Ty “Tyrannosaurus” Rathbone

“This old soldier has learned that secrecy and going it alone are not the way of the future. Only together can we hope to make harmonious this world that we still fight for. I thank you. I thank y’all.”

The leader of AEGIS and the man in charge of registering superpeople to his cause. While he comes across as a hard-ass, he’s shown to be a surprisingly reasonable and empathetic authority figure who actually loves superheroes.

Doctor Agent Hobbes

”I am AEGIS, or at least what AEGIS should be.”

The top scientist in charge at AEGIS responsible for many experiments and research. He’s soft spoken and cordial, acting as a sort of assistant to Rathbone. In reality he’s actually a traitor to the cause who sees people with superpowers as inhuman and wants to kill them all.

The Flag Five

”Being a member of the Flag Five not only comes with great responsibilities. It also comes with some damn fine privileges.” — Agent Commander Rathbone

The City's AEGIS-affiliated superhero team, generally regarded as the “face” of their operations and the first line of defense against major threats.

The Original Flag Five

Not much is known about most of the original team except that they were wiped out fifteen years ago by The Terror. The team consisted of Uncle Samson and his teenage ward Straight Shooter, Christian Soldier and his canine companion Onward, Mighty Atlas, and Sedona.

The New Flag Five

After AEGIS returns to The City, they recruit a new team:

  • The Tick

  • Arthur

  • Sage the Supernumerary (see below)

  • Bronze Star

  • Joan of Arc

Sage the Supernumerary

“I wield the mystic power of the ancients ‘cause I’m heir to 'The Blind Eye of Thirdarra.’”

A magic-based hero who arrives in The City after the AEGIS branch is reopened. He possesses the 'The Blind Eye of Thirdarra’S2E5 (a third nipple in his chest), which grants him heightened senses, spiritual awareness, and teleportation.

Teleportation

Spiritual Awareness

Other

Flexon

“I represent a mother and her children who have been taken away from each other by a cruel circumstance.”

A retired superhero that has saved the world at least twice. He also is a lawyer. He's a bit sleazy, going to a known criminal's poker game in his off hours and hitting on women he's barely met, but is a pretty chill guy and a beloved hero.

Walter

“It’s the old cliche, I suppose. The spy fell in love.”

Also known as Secret Agent John WuS2E6. He’s undercover as Arthur and Dot’s stepdad, tasked with keeping an eye on the family after their father’s death to ensure their safety.

Miranda and Veranda

Oh, that’s my sister Veranda. I’m Miranda. We’re twins.”

(Bolded types are types it is extremely weak/resistant to)

Magearna is the Artificial Pokemon, and is a mythical Pokemon introduced in Generation 6 of the franchise. She is a unique Pokemon created 500 years ago by the arcane scientist Nikola in the Azoth Kingdom, both to act as a companion for the princessXY and also to hide away a powerful artifact known as the Soul Heart. When war spread through the kingdom in an attempt to claim the soul heart, Magearna was sent away. She found herself in the Nebel Plateau where she was taken in by Volcanion, becoming his closest friend and helping to look after the Pokemon who sheltered there, until 500 years later nefarious schemes put her in danger again.

Respect Miss Lint

”I can feel the metal guns in your coats, boys. They can’t wait to trade protons with me. Go ahead. I’ll light ‘em up like the third rail.”

Character Summary

Miss Lint, or just simply Lint for short (or Janet), is one of the most infamous and powerful supervillains to operate in The City. She possesses the power to control electricity, augmented by various gadgets and equipment she’s acquired throughout her career as a criminal.

Originally the righthand woman to The Terror, she was vital in the supervillain’s plot to kill the Flag five. She became distraught after her mentor’s supposed death by the hands of his archenemy Superian and fell into a slump, allowing herself to become a lackey for others. Upon the Terror’s return, she resumed her place as his assistant until it became apparent he wasn’t the criminal mastermind she had once idolized. She eventually betrayed him, taking over his gang after his defeat and beginning her reign as the top villain of The City.

For a time she operated under the alias of Joan of Arc, joining the hero organization AEGIS as an alleged superhero and even becoming the leader of the Flag Five. This turned out to be a plot however, as she eventually betrayed them all and stole their tech to further boost her criminal operations.

Much like her former mentor, Miss Lint is purely evil, callous, and sadistic, though this is offset by her rather short temper, specifically when it comes to anything concerning her management abilities. This has earned her respect and fear among many of her peers. She is reluctant to kill those with whom she has formed an emotional bond, as evidenced by her concern over her ex-husband and former love-interest.

Respect Superian!

You don't know who I am. I'm just a friend from another star. Here you are, holding hands with a god. Look at you quivering, like a little boy, shivering. Why aren't you wondering why I am, all the wonderful things I am? You and I could belong to each other.”

Character Summary

Superian is the world's first and greatest superhero in The Tick-verse, having arrived on Earth by spaceship in 1908 in a crash that caused the Tunguska Event. He set the bar for all superheroes to come, standing as a beacon of hope and a friend to all of humanity. Whether the threat be supervillain or meteor or an overly aggressive military, Superian would stand ready to defend mankind.

…as long as his insecurities aren’t getting to him.

Rather than the pure-hearted boy scout he’s meant to imitate, Superian is deeply narcissistic, with an inflated sense of self-importance. When things are going well he’s a great hero to rely on, but when humanity’s perception of him is on the decline, his pride and insecurities can cause him to act out in increasing desperation. He’s not above risking the planet’s destruction in a hail mary attempt to go back in time.
