History Characters / DescensusAverno

* EveryoneHasStandards: Is horrified at Veer's interrogation of Sucrose and when Kris starts beating him up, he feels that the former deserves it. In the past, Mavey used to defend his lover's {{Jerkass}} moments but after what happened to Sucrose, he feels that Veer deserved everything that happened to him.

* {{Jerkass}}: Dismissing someone who you publicly interrogated and humiliated as a necessary casualty of war and calling a sentient puppet 'it' does not make you a nice person.

** [[spoiler: When Sucrose calls them out on how she was mishandled by her own side, Ariel tells her to shut up and completely brushes aside the fact that she was part of the Committee that subjected her to a three way interrogation that ended horribly.]]

* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler: Accuses Ajax for being the one to cause Lumine's SanitySlippage, refusing to acknowledge her and the rest of the Committee's part in driving Lumine to the extremes of performing a coup.]]
* WarIsHell: Uses this as an excuse to justify what she and the rest of the Committee put Sucrose through when they tried to interrogate her.

** Accuses Gorou of thinking more with his feelings rather than his head when he argues in favor of using Lumine as a hostage against her brother while the former Watatsumi General is aghast at the idea, seeing it as dishonourable. [[ ItsPersonal It's later revealed that his antagonism towards Lumine was due to his hatred towards her brother, Aether, for ordering the execution of his family, who were associated with the Sumeru Government]].
** Sucrose accuses ''him'' of being a hypocrite to his when [[spoiler: Veer brings up Scaramouche's past as a former Fatui Harbinger and the fact that he committed many atrocities during his time as one.]] The alchemist points out that Veer has no right to criticize Scaramouche when he himself was a serial killer who took many lives prior to being recruited for the Shogun's Insurgency.

* DesignatedHero: Despite the fact that the Insurgency are fighting against Aether's tyranny, a lot of their actions and behavior and treatment of others leave a lot to be desired.
** They treat Lumine like an extension of her brother, not trusting her at all and when their own treatment of her turns her against them [[spoiler: they decide to treat her as an enemy and a threat. Even more so when more than half their soldiers sides against them and join up with Lumine because they have lost faith in them.]]
** They subject Sucrose to a three way interrogation, with Veer shouting and blaming her for the attack on Mondstadt shortly after she manages to escape from Aether's castle. Not only is Sucrose is still healing from her ordeal, she's being traumatized by her own side. When she calls them out on it, Ariel dismisses her and says that she should suck it up because war is gritty and that casualties should be expected, implying that Sucrose is just one of those sacrifices.
** They kicked out Kris from the Committee and the Apex Division because she called them out on how they were doing things. When she yells at them over their failures in Mondstadt, they would have kicked her out of the entire group altogether.

** [[spoiler: It comes to a complete head in Chapter 48 when Lumine not only manages perform [[TheCoup a coup that snatches most of their soldiers from the Insurgency, but she's also snatched civilians from Mondstadt and Liyue as well.]]

* ControlFreak: [[spoiler: They show shades of this when some of the members decide to try and assassinate Lumine despite everything she has done for them because she chooses to ignore them and no longer follow their orders. However, Lumine going completely rogue on them is completely their fault because they kept projecting their hatred and distrust of her brother on to her, never once giving her a chance to prove otherwise. [[NeverMyFault Not that they seem capable of seeing that]]. ]]
* TheCoup: [[spoiler: Lumine performs one in Chapter 48, not only recruiting the majority of the Insurgency's soldiers right underneath its leader's noses but also recruiting civilians from Mondstadt and Liyue who have become more and more unhappy with how the Insurgency has started handling things.]]]]

** They treat Lumine like an extension of her brother, not trusting her at all and when their own treatment of her turns her against them [[spoilers: they decide to treat her as an enemy and a threat. Even more so when more than half their soldiers sides against them and join up with Lumine because they have lost faith in them.]]

* TheCoup: [[spoiler: Lumine performs one in Chapter 48, not only recruiting the majority of the Insurgency's soldiers right underneath its leader's noses but also recruiting civilians from Mondstadt and Liyue who have become more and more unhappy with how the Insurgency has started handling things.]]

** [[spoilers: Eula seems to be this now that her fellow Committee members have decided to go along with Jules plan to create a third Siphoner specifically to utilize against Lumine. She can see the writing on the wall that his actions are going to end very badly for everyone involved.]]

* RebelliousRebel: While none of the members who fall under this category have quit, they are very critical about how the Insurency has essentially managed things so far. Kris, Kaeya, Sucrose, Albedo, Ajax have no illusions about the incompetency of the organization.

* BadBoss: While Eula is not evil or cruel by any means she also shows signs that she isn't exactly leader material either by how she has already handled several situations in the story so far.

* EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler: Calls an emergency meeting when she comes across the Liyuen spy stewing in their vomit and waste. She makes it clear she is not pleased at the state she found him in and wants to know who tortured the spy. She also called in Barbara to heal him, despite the fact that he and his compatriots are the reason that Liyue was invaded]].

* TheCoup: [[spoiler: Lumine performs one in Chapter 48, not only recruiting the majority of the Insurgency's soldiers right underneath its leader's noses but also recruiting civilians from Mondstadt and Liyue who have become more and more unhappy with how the Insurgency has started handling things.

* LaserGuidedKarma: After their less than stellar treatment of Lumine, once she has had enough of not only how they continue to treat her and their constant mistakes, [[BullyingADragon she reminds them exactly who they are dealing with- Aether's sister]].

* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler: Some members of the Committee are unable to see or refuse to acknowledge that it was their own behaviour and attitude towards Lumine that drove her off, leaving her unable to trust them and refusing to follow their orders later on.]]

** Projecting their dislike and distrust of Lumine because of their hatred for her twin brother has bitten them in the ass as she now sees them as people who are in the way of her goals rather than her allies. They have no one but themselves to blame and they refuse to reflect on the fact it was their own fault that she refuses to listen to them after constant failure/

* ArmorPiercingSlap: Deals one to Veer, angry that he talked badly of Albedo in ''Interrogation''.

* NeverMyFault: [[spoilers: Some members of the Committee are unable to see or refuse to acknowledge that it was their own behaviour and attitude towards Lumine that drove her off, leaving her unable to trust them and refusing to follow their orders later on.]]

** [[spoiler: Their latest idea is to make plans to assassinate Lumine because she refuses to listen to them anymore, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero something that is completely their fault because of how poorly they treated Lumine when she freely offered her help]]. Had they actually treated her as her own person, their current mess would have likely never happened.

* NeverMyFault: Some members of the Committee are unable to see or refuse to acknowledge that it was their own behaviour and attitude towards Lumine that drove her off, leaving her unable to trust them and refusing to follow their orders later on.

* UngratefulBastard: Many members come off as this towards Lumine despite the fact that she has gained more victories against her brother's forces than any of them have combined. Twice she has already fought her brother and driven him off, especially in Mondstadt when Aether was just moments away from killing most of the leadership. Despite all she has done for them, most of the group's attitudes towards Lumine have never changed and eventually she gives up on trying to win their approval and does whatever they want with no regards to their opinions.

* IdiotBall: PlayedForDrama. The Insurgency seems to be holding this all the time. From ordering Lumine to pull back from a mission, to removing two powerful members from their ranks despite the fact that the group needed every person they could get to how they handled the Liyue Ball. Further screw ups cause civilians to be antagonistic towards them, going as far as to vandalize their current meeting.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: The path that they seem to veering towards. Though they want to topple Aether's tyranny, the way they treat people as well as their methods to get their are very questionable and leave many people distrustful of them.

* MyWayorTheHighway: They seem to have this mindset, implied through kicking out Kristina from the Committee when she argued against them and then all together tried to kick her out after she beat up Veer over his treatment of Sucrose during the disasterous meeting. Lampshaded by Lumine.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The way they treat their own side, the way they have treated Lumine and the promises that they failed to uphold all bite them in the ass when the consequences come to roost. The people they have treated poorly such as Sucrose, Albedo, and Kris don't trust them any more and go behind their backs, Lumine goes AWOL and then threatens them once she comes back, even holding Eula at swordpoint, and the civilians have no trust or faith in their ability to protect them.

** Annabelle's teleporting while in the same area as Lumine gives the latter the opportunity to escape from Apollo's ability to nullify her powers. While they are between time and space, Lumine is not only able to activate her powers once again but is teleported to where her rescuers are fighting Malcolm.

every turn. He acknowledges that his boyfriend is in pain due to the loss of his family, but tells him that gives him no right to minimize Lumine's own emotional turmoil at having to deal with her brother turning into a tyrant.

* EasilyForgiven: Often has this attitude towards [[Jerkass Veer] due to knowing [[FreudianExcuse Veer's tragic backstory of losing his entire family to Aether's regime]] but eventually reaches his limit when Veer's typical attitude and behaviour start being too much even for him. Especially after the way that [[KickTheDog Veer interrogated Sucrose in front of the entire committee]].

* MoralityPet: He is this to Veer. {Deconstructed}} in that because he is the only one Veer is ever nice to, he is never believed by the others when Mavey tries to defend his lover because they are often on the receiving end of [[Jerkass Veer's temper]]. As a result, eventually ''he'' gets tired of Veer's behaviour and tells him that if he doesn't clean up his behaviour, Mavey doesn't think he can be with him any more.

* WhatTheHellHero: Gives this to Veer for him constantly making snide remarks at Lumine and provoking her at every turn. He acknowledges that his boyfriend is in pain due to the loss of his family, but tells him that gives him no right to minimize Lumine's own emotional turmoil at having to deal with her brother turning into a tyrant.

* MoralityPet: He is this to Veer. {{Deconstructed}} in that because he is the only one Veer is ever nice to, he is never believed when Mavey tries to defend his lover.
