Stock symbolism attached to various metals and metallic alloys and applied to characters associated with them. Most common include: Iron: strong, durable, but rough and unwieldy. Magical in older works. Steelnote An interstitial alloy of iron and carbon: like iron, but sharper and more dangerous (usually top-tier if no fictional metals are present); occasionally, undertones of technical knowledge Gold: either king of metals (The Leader, Rank Scales with Asskicking optional), or fancy but completely useless Silver: mystical metal, invariably badass; occasionally, "second best" (The Lancer), may rarely have connotations of treachery or blood money (as in "Thirty pieces of silver"). Bronzenote A substitutional alloy of copper and tin: durability, antiquity, old ways, classic art; at other times, "third-rate" (can be a Power Trio with the two above, if it's not replaced by Copper or Platinum) Copper: utility, cheapness, deformability (can be a Power Trio with Gold and Silver) Tin: toy-like, ineffective, utility Brassnote A substitutional alloy of copper and zinc: loudness, cheapness, antiquity Mercury: speed, volatility, unpredictability, shapeshifting Lead: slow, heavy, impenetrable Platinum: like gold, but even more so (can be a Power Trio with Gold and Silver with it at the top, knocking Bronze out from the bottom); less associated with wealth, but more with purity, especially in a technical kind of way Aluminum: modernity, high-tech, lightness; occasionally, cheapness Chromium: modernity, high-tech, shine, cleanliness May overlap with astrological motifs (mainly Western Zodiac), since each celestial body is associated with a metal in astrology (e.g. Sun with gold, Moon with silver, etc.). Subtropes: Chrome Champion Gold-Colored Superiority Gold Makes Everything Shiny Gold–Silver–Copper Standard Platinum Makes Everything Shinier Silver Has Mystic Powers |

Three times (Go-Onger/RPM, Go-Busters/Beast Morphers, and Kyuranger), a team has had both Gold and Silver Rangers; in all cases they worked as a duo and the first two had Gold outrank Silver slightly. (The fourth team with both, however, had Gold as a regular character and Silver as an 11th-Hour Ranger; and Silver was more powerful). Two other series had both colors worn by the same Ranger: Zyuohger had one with a half-and-half costume, while the Sixth in Lupinranger VS Patranger could switch between the two colors at will. | |

The Steel General in Creatures of Light and Darkness is an ancient warrior from Old Earth who fights for the downtrodden, the underdog, and the rebel. As he's been wounded in battle, he's had parts replaced with steel, till all that remains of his original body is a ring of flesh he wears on his pinky. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The Good-aligned metallic dragonsnote Adamantine, Brass, Bronze, Copper, Gold, Mercury, Mithral, Orium, Silver and Steel, as well as the Lawful-aligned Ferrous dragonsnote Chromium, Cobalt, Iron, Nickel and Tungsten. However, sometimes the Ferrous dragons are added to the Metallic dragons, adding to some confusion. Forgotten Realms elven subraces has alternative "metal" names — Gold Elf (Sun Elf), Silver (Moon), Mithral (Star). In 3rd party book “Flee Mortals!â€� There is a hate group/cult called The Black Iron Pact for whom iron holds symbolic value due to its nature as the main ingredient in steel. As iron is alloyed with other metals and through its diversity becomes the stronger, more useful steel, thus symbolising the importance of diversity, they reject steel as they reject such ideals, instead choosing to place their trust in the “purerâ€� iron. |

Cradle Series: The world uses this for its Power Levels; by all indications, it's metaphorical rather than literal. Still, the motifs seem pretty universal. Sacred Valley uses badges of the appropriate materials to denote rank, and while badges are less common in the outside world, they still show up. In order: Foundation is wood, Copper is copper, Iron is iron, and Jade is jade. Gold seems to use gold, even though it is split between three distinct ranks (Lowgold, Highgold, and Truegold). The Lord realm uses a different metal for each rank: Underlords have half-silver, and Overlords have goldsteel. Sages have wintersteel, which can only be shaped by willpower, making it a perfect representation of a Sage. Heralds are implied to have the "deep, fiery metal" that Lindon never identifies. It's also never explained what the Archlord badge is supposed to be made of. | |

Both the "fanciness" and the "royalty" symbolism of gold are invoked by Moist Van Lipwig after picking up a golden suit in Going Postal to go with his golden postal worker's hat (in the next book to star him, he covers a top hat in gold glitter for the same effect on being put in charge of the bank). As a former Con Artist, standing out is pretty much how he succeeds. Made a plot point when it turns out an army of ancient golems will listen to him, because the gold suit is similar to what their handlers would have worn. | |

In The Lord of the Rings, the Ent Treebeard says at one point that the wizard Saruman "has a mind of wheels and metal". This implies a cold, intellectual, sterile view of the world that has no place in it for the love of anything organic or growing. Considering the Green Aesops of LOTR, this is not a good thing to be in that series, and Saruman is dominated by Pride, Resentment and Jealousy, all of which cause his downfall. | |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, the former blacksmith to the Baratheon family compares each of the 3 Baratheon brothers to different types of metal. Youngest brother Renly is copper, pretty and looks nice, but not worth much in a medieval society. Lawful Stupid middle brother Stannis is like iron; hard, inflexible, but brittle too. He'll break before he bends. Oldest brother Robert was the one that the blacksmith considered true steel, but 15 years trapped in a loveless marriage doing a job he hated ruined Robert's "true steel". Iron (strength and simple practicality) and bronze (antiquity and tradition) are both strongly associated with the North. Of the initial settlers of the North, the Children of the Forest used stone tools and the First Men used bronze tools. The crown of the Stark kings is also made of iron and bronze. Iron is also associated with... well, the Ironborn, due to their culture's emphasis on strength and brutality. Both in- and out of universe, the Lannisters are associated with gold — they're very proud and ambitious. Justified, since their ancestral seat, Casterly Rock, is built over a gold mine, so they grew very rich as a result. It is quite telling that the symbol of the current royal house (Baratheon) is the symbol stamped on silver coins, whereas gold coins are struck with a dragon mark, which is the symbol of the overthrown royal house Targaryen. The reason for this is that Orys Baratheon, the founder of House Baratheon was the right-hand man to Aegon I, who started the Targaryen dynasty. Bronze is an important part of the First Men's heritage, as they used it exclusively prior to the arrival of the Andals. After the arrival, the Andals would use their superior iron to subjugate and culturally dominate the First Men almost everywhere, causing nearly all them to forget their own language. As such, bronze symbolizes antiquity, a time when the First Men and their culture still ruled Westeros. Notably, when a First Men holdout called the Thenns is introduced in the third book, their use of bronze is frequently emphasized to let the reader know that these guys truly are the last of the First Men. After successfully settling south of the Wall, their leader even chooses a bronze disk as their sigil to honor their heritage. |

In Pathologic 2, the Town-on-Gorkhon was originally built around a copper mine, which provided useful and non-toxic metal for the Town's water pipes. One day the copper reserves just...disappeared- probably because Earth wanted to stop miners from digging into Her flesh- and were replaced with lead. Lead is highly poisonous, so the mining stopped after that, and the Town recentered itself on beef production. This was the time when the Town's leaders stopped respecting Earth's children, the indigenous "Kin", and began to exploit them as a captive, cheap workforce. In the Town's present era, vast iron trains roar across its landscape, importing bladed tools (like Artemy's scalpels) made of the same metal. In the local Abattoir, cattle are processed into meat, their bones and iron-rich blood discarded in the nearby river. Vast grey warehouses (of zinc, which a character insists "counts as iron") loom across the Town. As befits all this iron, this is the era when the Kin decide to rebel and wage war on the townsfolk. | |

There was an old Spider-Man villain-turned-somewhat hero called Molten Man who was colored gold but was not a nice guy. When he reformed, instead of turning into a full-fledged superhero as most Heel–Face Turn cases do, he mostly tried to lead a normal life after he gave up villainy. | |

In both Super Sentai and Power Rangers franchises, Sixth Rangers often wear metallic colors (either gold or silver) as a visible sign of superiority over their chromatically-colored teammates. Power Rangers Zeo started the trend with the Gold Zeo Ranger (who was known as King Ranger in Chouriki Sentai Ohranger) and Denji Sentai Mega Ranger would pick it up with Mega Silver; and it was later Engine Sentai Go-onger and Power Rangers RPM that established metallic colors as a permanent status quo for Sixths. Three times (Go-Onger/RPM, Go-Busters/Beast Morphers, and Kyuranger), a team has had both Gold and Silver Rangers; in all cases they worked as a duo and the first two had Gold outrank Silver slightly. (The fourth team with both, however, had Gold as a regular character and Silver as an 11th-Hour Ranger; and Silver was more powerful). Two other series had both colors worn by the same Ranger: Zyuohger had one with a half-and-half costume, while the Sixth in Lupinranger VS Patranger could switch between the two colors at will. Two of Power Rangers' Sixths were specifically named for metals, Lightspeed Rescue's Titanium Ranger (for toughness) and Operation Overdrive's Mercury Ranger (for shapeshifting; he was an alien that could transform into liquid mercury). In Kyuranger, the Silver Ranger is Brainwashed and Crazy for a few episodes and gains a Superpowered Evil Side, changing his codename to be a Metal Ranger instead; symbolizing that his new form is stronger and more dangerous but less refined and not as valuable. |

Warhammer 40,000 has plenty of metallic themes. For the Space Marines, Iron shows up with the Iron Hands and the Iron Warriors. Brass tends to show up where Khornate warriors are involved. Tzeentch's servants tend to prefer silver and gold. When they use metallic colours at all the Eldar favour bright polished silver and gold. Orkish metallic parts are usually rusted. The Imperial Guard goes for plain utilitarian steel in most cases. |

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba there's the blade, katana in particular; Zenitsu was motivated by his master Jigoro to be like a blade during its forging, to constantly be purified and focused on the one thing it matters: mastering yourself to eventually become unbreakable steel. Zenitsu’s development as a demon slayer goes exactly like the katana forging process; his Thunder Clap and Flash technique even has an added deeper meaning to its stronger forms, Zenitsu literally calls them “Folds�, not only he is folding the angles of his dashing but also “folding himself� like forgery processing, making him, the blade, a better molten steel. At the end, to hit the point home, Zentisu’s actual nichirin blade is the only one out of his companions Tanjiro and Inosuke that never breaks throughout the series. | |

In Kyuranger, the Silver Ranger is Brainwashed and Crazy for a few episodes and gains a Superpowered Evil Side, changing his codename to be a Metal Ranger instead; symbolizing that his new form is stronger and more dangerous but less refined and not as valuable. | |

Cyberpunk 2077 uses iron-chrome contrast in the in-universe slang: specifically, "iron" refers to any kind of firearms, from the most basic to the most high-tech, while "chrome" refers to cybernetic augmentations of all kinds. Accordingly, the former term is usually used in the context of solving your problems with brute force and good old-fashioned violence, while the latter mostly pops up in conjunction with high-tech augmentations and netrunning. | |

Sailor Moon's magic crystal was known as the Silver Crystal, and her kingdom was known as the Silver Millenium. Mamoru's magic crystal was known as the Golden Crystal. Both of these are in keeping with the associations given in the description, since Sailor Moon was the incarnation of an all-powerful goddess, and Mamoru was a king (and also somewhat useless when his powers were compared to hers). | |
