* HeroWorship: On the receiving end from Lava as her Operator records reveal that she rever and respects Logos greatly.

* TheDreaded: [[spoiler:This seemingly unassuming researcher of neurology who isn't fit for front line fighting was frequently seen as a terrifying entity and an unparalleled tactician who only sees others as chess pieces during their time in Babel. Even hardened mercenaries like W and Ines felt a deep feeling of unease when looking at the Doctor. While W was also afraid of Kal'tsit, it was made evident that she feared the Doctor even more. In the late stage of the Kazdel civil war, Doctor was the main reason that Theresis and his faction are on the back foot. Even the news of Doctor's amnesiac return is regarded as a threat to his throne, three years after winning the war.]]
-->'''Ines:''' [[spoiler:"...Let’s put it like this: the soldiers are the pawns in the game. The commander is the player. When I saw the Doctor, I was struck with the feeling that I’m always gonna be a pawn."]]
-->'''Hoederer:''' [[spoiler:"That one’s not a battlefield commander. The Doctor runs the whole war."]]

** A major amount of reveals would take place in "Lonetrail" that posits several things about the Doctor's true identity: [[spoiler:they are indeed [[TheLastOfHisKind one of the last]] {{Precursors}} and they've been alive for over [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld 13,000 years]], that they knew a TerribleTruth behind Originium that was deemed ''dangerous enough'' to make Kal'tsit swear to never inform them the truth unless they find out on their own, and that [[BeenThereShapedHistory they might have maybe created all culture on Terra for the last ten-thousand years]] through uplifting the Ancient races that succeeded their civilization; all of which presents the Doctor as probably the single most important person alive, whether they knew it at the time or not]].

* ChickMagnet: Regardless of gender, it can be interpreted that operators have feelings for the Doctor.

* EveryoneCallsHerBarkeep: Much like Guard's case, her codename is simply "Medic".

[[folder:Santalla]]
!!Santalla
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/avg_char_341_amona_1.png]]
->'''Real name:''' Simone
A Sami Witch assigned by Rhodes Island to retrieve Magallan from a snowstorm.

* EyeScream: She caught Oripathy after a dying Ursus soldier was implied to have stabbed her eye with an Originium shard as petty retaliation against Sami's victory. This has caused her a lot of insecurities as an Infected.
* GivenNameReveal: In Goldenglow's Promotion File, Quercus confirms that "Santalla" is Simone's codename.
-->"Well, it's like when you're warm next to Skyfire, or cold next to Santalla. It's the sort of thing that only shows in people with extreme Originium Arts assimilation, usually."
* AnIcePerson: Her skills' element. Quercus notes that you'll ''literally'' feel cold next to Santalla.
* MagicMusic: She sings in order to control said element, not entirely unlike [=FrostNova=].
* PutOnABus: Despite being a Rhodes Island member with her own unique art, her only appearance is in "Operational Intelligence". This was later averted when it was confirmed she would play a part in Integrated Strategies 4.

[[folder:Dora]]
!!Dora
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/avg_avg_npc_045.png]]
->'''Race:''' Feline
A Victorian child taken to Rhodes Island by her parents for treatment. She's also good friends with Blaze.

* AnimalMotifs: Cats, as per her Feline race.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Her past is revealed in "Fairytale Everlasting" (Iris's side story in Beyond Here).
* DelicateAndSickly: She came to Rhodes Island to have her Oripathy treated, but she's contracted it at such a young age that there are doubts she'll even live long enough to see adulthood.
* YouAllLookFamiliar: At least three other named characters reuse Dora's sprite: Gianna (from Meteor's Operator Records), Monica (from "A Light Spark in Darkness"), and Xiaoming (from "Guiding Ahead").

[[folder:Xiaobai]]
!!Xiaobai
Xiaohei's friend and Ah Gen's cousin who was inadvertently transported from her world to Terra and eventually joined Rhodes Island. She stars in ''WebAnimation/TheLegendOfLuoXiaoHei'' crossover event "It's Been a While".

* FriendToAllLivingThings: She is very kindhearted and nice to practically everybody and everything she meets.
* UnfazedEveryman: Despite being just a regular human with no special powers, Xiaobai isn't really all that shocked with Terra since she's already used to the existence of magic and spirits in her own world.

[[folder:Ah Gen]]
!!Ah Gen
Xiaohei's friend and Xiaobai's cousin who was inadvertently transported from his world to Terra and eventually joined Rhodes Island. He stars in ''WebAnimation/TheLegendOfLuoXiaoHei'' crossover event "It's Been a While".
----
* AnIcePerson: He is able to create and manipulate ice, which most Terrans mistake as Arts.
* TheSmartGuy: He's the most intelligent among the trio, and comes up with the plan to help recover Yangi.

!!!'''Affiliated Characters:''' Projekt Red, Scavenger

* DyingMomentOfAwesome: He somehow manages to [[spoiler:keep swinging at the Reunion soldiers lead by Talulah and stall them enough so that the Rhodes Island Operators escape. Keep in mind Talulah has the power to warp the area around her into fire]].

* AmbiguouslyRelated: "Lonetrail" raises several questions about their relationship with [[spoiler:Priestess, as Preserver says it was "intimate". Whather he meant a familial, strongly platonic, or even romantic one is yet unknown]].

** Casual dialogue during ''Obsidian Festival'' seems to imply that even though they do acknowledge high temperatures, it's not a very pressing issue for them to change into something more open, and [[ConvectionSchmonvection that they can function perfectly fine within the searing hot volcano of Siesta]] hints that they have a much higher tolerance to heat than most normal Terrans. This is further emphasized when multiple characters mention how the Doctor eats instant food by pouring boiling water straight from the kettle directly into their mouth for more efficient consumption.

** Reveals in Episode 12 concerning [[spoiler:the Sarkaz, their origins, and their true technological might when they were [[{{Precursors}} the original species on Terra]]]] present the possibility that the Doctor might actually be [[spoiler:[[LastOfHisKind a pure-blooded Sarkaz who survived the fall of their civilization]] and was untouched by Originium unlike the descendants of their race]]. Lonetrail confirms [[spoiler:the Doctor is indeed one of the last {{Precursors}} through Preserver and Kal'tsit explaining to them the Conservation Project.]]
* AmbiguouslyRelated: "Lonetrail" raises several questions about their relationship [[spoiler:with Priestess, whom they were exceptionally close with in the past. With the implication that they were "intimate" according to Preserver, it's not known if Priestess was the Doctor's sibling or their lover.]]
* AmnesiacHero: Can scarcely remember anything about themselves prior to being rescued. [[spoiler:"Lonetrail" presents the question that this might not be the first time the Doctor has lost their memory either given [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld the revelations]] [[BeenThereShapedHistory of their past]].]]

* {{Foil}}: To Kal'Tsit. Both are high-ranking researchers in Rhodes Island that are actually part of the organization's leadership. Both are technically non-combatants, but are far more capable than their appearances let on. And as events reveal, [[spoiler:the pre-amnesia Doctor could be just as ruthless as Kal'Tsit is]]. Their similarities end here, though - Kal'Tsit is a ferocious fighter while the Doctor is TheStrategist and, prior to some training by Sideroca, was a NonActionGuy. Kal'Tsit is jaded and combatitive while the Doctor post-amnesia is more openly friendly and kind. Most importantly, the Doctor is usually open with their issues and, in turn, has the support of Rhodes Island's staff, [[spoiler:even including members who can't forget what the past Doctor did]], and thus receives their aid when at their lowest. Kal'Tsit, meanwhile, keeps everyone at a distance, with most of her allies being [[spoiler:people who are just as LongLived as she is. Tellingly, when she breaks down in Chapter 11, she only has W to hear her out.]] All of this implies that Kal'Tsit embodies what the Doctor could end up becoming if they were to lose their ideals in the conflicts to come [[spoiler:and regress into who they were during their Babel days]].

** It's also later revealed that even the pre-amnesia Doctor served this role for Babel. Amiya's accounts of Babel's transition into Rhodes Island while the Doctor was sleeping paint the company as always constantly hanging by a thread due to pervasively low morale and loss of purpose. It's not until the Doctor is revived that things start turning around.

* MysteriousPast: Very little has been revealed about the Doctor's past before their amnesia. At the very least, they used to have a doctorate in neurology and extensively researched Oripathy. [[spoiler:The Doctor used to be one of the key figures of Babel, Rhodes Island's predecessor. They contributed heavily to Babel's research and technology in the past, and during the days of Kazdel Civil War they had the same role they have in the present, more of a tactician than a researcher, albeit far more ruthless. They also had a hand in being responsible for a number of individuals being the way they are at present, notably Amiya (whom Doctor personally saved from wilderness and raised in Babel) and Scout (who claimed he would not be the man he was if not for Doctor). Theresa once made a comment about how Kal'tsit knew Doctor for a long time from before Babel, and their scenes with the Priestess hint both Doctor and Rhodes Island Ark might be remnants of a forgotten past civilization. A major amount of reveals would take place in "Lonetrail" that posits several things about the Doctor's true identity: they are indeed [[TheLastOfHisKind one of the last]] {{Precursors}} and they've been alive for over [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld 13,000 years]], that they knew a TerribleTruth behind Originium that was deemed ''dangerous enough'' to make Kal'tsit swear to never inform them the truth unless they find out on their own, and that [[BeenThereShapedHistory they might have maybe created all culture on Terra for the last ten-thousand years]] through uplifting the Ancient races that succeeded their civilization; all of which presents the Doctor as probably the single most important person alive, whether they knew it at the time or not.]]

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler:Preserver informs the Doctor they are predate Kal'tsit's creation in "Lonetrail", making the Doctor older than ''ten-thousand years''. It is however justified by the fact they were in [[HumanPopcicle stasis on and off]] within their sarcophagi over the centuries so they haven't been physically active for that period of time.]]

* RageBreakingPoint: In spite of their AllLovingHero nature, [[spoiler:confronting Loken during "Lonetrail" after the scientist tries desperately to continue his experiment with Rosmontis ends with has the Doctor laying hands on Loken and is only stopped from [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown going further]] because Rosmontis stops them.]]
