Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist | |
The Great Cities / int_1888979e | comment |
Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Enemy initially says she wants to stop cities from becoming alive and destroying multiple inhabited universes each time. If she has to exploit human bigotries and cause smaller massacres in the process, and cripple humanity's social development, so be it. By the endgame, she makes it clear that she simply considers humans and their cities to be abominations, and she intends to destroy not just the universe where the story is taking place, but every universe connected to it. | |

Ambiguously Brown | |
The Great Cities / int_2207b002 | comment |
Ambiguously Brown: Manny does have a specific ethnicity (Black American), but looks Ambiguously Brown and appears to be used to fielding questions about his heritage. A notable aspect of his appearance that Bronca picks up on is that he's perceived to be whatever race other people he's talking to are, which is implied to be an expression of Manhattan itself: not only very multi-cultural, but its more predatory elements can win you to their side by making you think, "he's okay. He's one of us". Hell, when he goes to visit the avatar of Tokyo in the second book, she immediately perceives him to be half-Japanese. | |

Brutal Honesty | |
The Great Cities / int_23ff95fb | comment |
Brutal Honesty: The Woman In White makes no secret of the fact that she considers humans, and especially cities, to be abominations; that she intends to destroy the city and use it as a stepping stone to destroy the universe; and that the only reward for allying with her is to die last and more peacefully. Staten Island hates the rest of the City too much to care. | |

Villainous Gentrification | |
The Great Cities / int_2a35374f | comment |
Villainous Gentrification: A tool of the Woman in White. By putting up generic chain stores and pricing out the population and their original culture, she saps the "character" from cities and weakens their power. Becomes very literal near the climax when a race to Staten Island must go through a gauntlet of Starbucks franchises-turned-Eldritch Abominations. | |

Combat Pragmatist: The Enemy never kept to the rules of engagement it had supposedly agreed to with the cities, and even set up a multinational corporation whose purpose is to destroy cities' individuality so they might never be born, or to weaken and sabotage them if they are. The older cities come to suspect that this is how it arranged the assassination of the avatar of New Orleans. | |

Personality Powers | |
The Great Cities / int_4bf3d8d7 | comment |
Personality Powers: The avatars battle using "constructs"—abstract ideas that have real existence in cityspace. Each avatar's preferred constructs influence their fighting style. Brooklyn is a former MC who defeats monsters with literal rap battles. Bronca has fought all her life by running up to bigger, stronger opponents and kicking them before they expect anything. As an avatar, she's always wearing her "boots." Aislyn is so timid that she commands a Perception Filter. Padmini is a graduate student that uses mental mathematical equations to shape reality. Manny is able to hold off the eldritch abominations by literally buying the land they're standing on. He's also able to summon a subway train construct more than once to make an escape (most people who live or work in Manhattan famously don't drive), and when facing down the monster sent to destroy Neek, transforms into none other than King Kong, renowned for his rampage through the borough that, of course, ended at Manhattan's most famous landmark, the Empire State Building. | |

White Male Lead | |
The Great Cities / int_4eb66c8d | comment |
White Male Lead: Averted with the main cast. In fact, being a straight white male is a good sign of being on the side of evil. Lampshaded when Hong addresses Manny upon first meeting the avatars, assuming that the only man among them must be the leader. | |

Genius Loci: The main characters are this to New York and its boroughs. In fact, all the major cities in this world get one or several: Sao Paolo and Hong Kong are secondary characters in the first book, and the second book introduces a whole host of these, notably London, Tokyo, Paris, Istanbul, Faiyum and even Atlantis. The Woman in White is also one - namely, R'lyeh. | |

Cast of Personifications | |
The Great Cities / int_643dbca5 | comment |
Cast of Personifications: The main characters embody social and historical aspects of New York and its boroughs: Bronca is an older boisterous Lenape artist, embodying the first inhabitants of New York and the scrappy, artsy side of the Bronx. Brooklyn is a black middle-aged lawyer and city councilwoman who was once a rapper. She embodies both the bohemian past of Brooklyn and its current gentrification. Padmini is a 25-year-old Tamil immigrant graduate student, reflecting the multiculturalism of Queens. She's implied to be Dalit (of the lowest caste), so she also embodies the desires of immigrants to start over in a place with more opportunity. Manny is smartly dressed and ruthless, embodying the business-focused mentality of Manhattan. Much like Manhattan itself, he's just ambiguous enough to reflect whatever the person looking at him expects to see. Aislyn is a timid and mousy white woman afraid of the other, bigger, boroughs, reflecting the whiter and more conservative lean of Staten Island. Veneza hangs around the other avatars for most of the book despite not being one of them. At the climax, she becomes the personification of Jersey City, small and scrappy but daring the rest of New York to say it doesn't belong. | |

Humanoid Abomination: The Woman in White appears to be a white (Caucasian) woman with white hair and all-white clothing, but she doesn't even bother hiding that she's something utterly inhuman and alien. Her other features vary considerably between appearances, and is once described as having unnatural and unsettling beauty. She is an avatar of the Enemy, and R'lyeh contains many Women in White. | |

Eldritch Abomination | |
The Great Cities / int_8774fb47 | comment |
Eldritch Abomination: The Enemy is explicitly and repeatedly called one, word for word. It is an immense, ancient horror from an incomprehensible universe, and it has nothing but ill will for cities and humanity in general. It manifests on Earth in a variety of forms, including feathery white tendrils of various sizes, two-dimensional spider monsters, and - most prominently - the Woman in White. Fittingly, the Enemy turns out to be the avatar of the city of R'lyeh. | |

Alien Geometries: As befitting a story where R'lyeh shows up. A mere glimpse is frightening enough to break down the normally unshakeable Veneza.
