History Characters / Dreamkeepers

* [[spoiler:MadScientist: It would be impossible to tell from just the graphic novels, but from reading the info on the site, it becomes clear: Scinter was the one who originally conceived Anduruna's teleportation system, after he was able to catch the elusive and dangerous teleporting squid that power it. Scientist. However, the Andurunan government arrested him for catching the squids and inventing without the government's approval, which would have probably taken years, and he was thrown in prison. Oh, and they went ahead and used his plans to build the Telepad system. Perhaps not quite mad as in insane, but definitely '''angry.''']]

* [[spoiler:NotQuiteDead: As it would seem to be the case. Basically, Scinter was believed to be assassinated long before the story - But rumors still circulated that he hadn't died...And seeing as how he's present in the story, and has a conspicuous neckbrace...Yeah...]]

* BigBad: Literally, as he is both the leader of the Nightmares [[spoiler:and in his first appearance, was so huge that, showing him in full, in the resulting scene you have to ''follow the speech bubble'' to find a tiny little speck. ''That'' is the one who summoned him.]]
* BiggerBad: Well, for the time being, it seems...[[spoiler: From the Sneak Peek at the first few pages of Volume Three, it seems that, despite being summoned properly, he has yet to return to full power - After a battle with Nabonidus in which there were many borderline-cataclysmic explosions, the two "agreed to an accord". So, that probably just means that Void is going to sit back and return to full power while Nabonidus heads the Nightmare forces in his place.]]

* [[spoiler:VirginSacrifice: A teenage girl named Jeneviv was sacrificed to summon him.]]

* [[spoiler: [[DeadLittleSister Dead Little Surrogate Sister]]: To Mace]]

* TheLancer

* HeartwarmingOrphan

* Cloudcuccolander: In the Prelude

* TheCaptain: From what's been said, Grunn ''used'' to be a captain of his own ship, searching for treasure.

* ReptilesAreAbhorent: Averted. He's one of the good guys.

* [[spoiler:VirginSacrifice: A teenage girl named Jeneviv was sacrificed to summon him.]]

* ReptilesAreAbbhorent: Averted. He's one of the good guys.

* [[spoiler: DeadLittleSister]]

* [[spoiler: ForgottenFallenFriend]]

** [[spoiler:She accidentally activated her Power on such a scale that, after being eaten by a giant Nightmare beast and activating her Power in self-defense, it was so [[DeaderThanDead far past death]] that its entrails fell out. ''By themselves.'' Either that, or its body was so fragile that it couldn't support Lilith's weight. Oh, and all of the plants for a few meters were dead, too.]]
*** [[spoiler:Also, to put the theory of how it might not have been able to support Lilith's weight in perspective: This beast was bigger than most of the trees nearby. And Lilith is a ''light-framed sixteen year-old girl.'']]
*** [[spoiler:Finally, if there was any doubt on the Nightmare being [[DeaderThanDead gone for good]], Nightmares are basically just intelligent energy that have formed physical bodies. So, basically, that thing's entire existence was life energy; very ''evil'' life energy, but life energy nonetheless - And Lilith drains life energy. So...Yup.]]
* MemeticSexGod

* EnsembleDarkHorse

* {{Tsundere}}: Kind of a less-extreme version; she's usually non-combatitive, just a little bit off-putting...But she deeply loves her sister, Lilith, because Lilith was essentially the only true friend she's ever had.

** However, [[spoiler:he at least seemed concerned for the kids, enough to not want to tell them full situation because it would freak them out. He might have accidentally drank himself all the way around to nice for a second.]]

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Sure, Grunn's a surly drunk who smacks kids around and forces them to fish for slimy fish-things. But he used to do ''actual'' sailing - It can't be good for his temper to have to take care of kids at all.
** Namely, two of the orphans ''do not'' belong under Grunn's care ''at all'': Mace and Vi. Mace is a prankster and rebellious - And Vi is a teenage girl who's having her dreams slowly crushed in the same way Grunn probably did (In her case, dreams of being a fashion designer) ''and'' has a hairtrigger temper match his. It's hard to tell which prospect would make one question the point of getting out of bed. A bed which, by the way, probably has bugs considering the orphanage's condition.
** Not to mention that Igrath and Scinter are always up for picking on him.

* GentleGiant: He has to be, because with his claws ''and'' blindess ''and'' sheer size, not noticing somebody and making a wrong move could...Well, he might have another person to be blind with. ... Or, possibly crush them by accident.
* FridgeLogic: Igrath is the target of great affection from the Indigos. Two incredibly sexy women. It all seems that he's quite lucky. … Until you quickly realize that the man loved by two beautiful twins is '''''blind.''''' Let it sink in.

* AttentionWhore: Very appropriate, as she runs around in lingeree a lot of the time.

* MemeticSexGod

** Sad: BlueEyes

** However, he might not be a CompleteMonster, as [[spoiler:he at least seemed concerned for the kids, enough to not want to tell them full situation because it would freak them out. Of course, he might have accidentally drank himself all the way around to nice for a second.]]

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler: In Volume one, she almost kills Namah and Lilith. Volume Two, she reduces [[TheMentallyDisturbed Wisp]] to tears ''after'' sabotaging Wisp's plan, and not revealing it to her. A plan which was concocted entirely because Wisp wanted to make her "allies", Tinsel included, ''proud'' of her.]]
* EvilIsSexy
* FetishFuelStationAttendant: [[spoiler:Apparently part of the Nightmares' plan as a whole, as Tinsel has basically made herself the Viscount's right-hand woman.]]

* CompleteMonster: He all but oozes this Trope in every appearance he makes.
** [[spoiler: It doesn't help any argument for the contrary that his profile on the old website pretty much confirms his status. It basically said that, unlike many other Dark Dreamkeepers, he did not join their ranks out of an obligation/attachment to another, or some desire for revenge, or even for a chance to avoid the doomsday that the Nightmares strive for. He joined to, plain and simple, ''more easily bring suffering to others.'']]
** [[spoiler: Neither does it help an argument against Ravat's CompleteMonster status that: 1. He has the Power of 'decay', according to the original site's profile; 2. He was out doing "Tinsel's dirty work" on the night that Paige was killed; 3. From what was shown of the laundry room, the poor girl ''did not'' go gently into that good night.]]

* BreakTheCutie: [[CompleteMonster Tinsel]] ''seems'' to put tormenting Wisp above any other goals at the moment Wisp is present or a good plan comes to her. From what's been seen of their interactions, Tinsel lies continuously to Wisp and will say anything to sadden/scare her.

* PerkyFemaleMinion: At least, when she's not crushed by [[CompleteMonster Tinsel's]] mind games and not violently enraged by something or other.

* LittleMissBadass: The [[BadassLongcoat typical fashion choice]] helps. [[supersecretspoiler: Matching an experienced Power user on the very first use of her own Power does, too.]]

* WhipItGood: Taken to BeyondTheImpossible levels with her Ether Tendrils. As in, [[spoiler:''energy whips'' that can be extended ''from each fingertip'', and apparently have no actual ''set'' limit to their reach. Oh, and if needed, they can cut and stab too.]]

* KaleidoscopeEyes: Wisp very nearly takes it to BeyondTheImpossible levels, as practically every major emotion for her has different-colored eyes. Considering the severity of Wisp's mood swings, it's ''very hard'' to tell what color her eyes are normally supposed to be - Which would be not-so-nasty, orange HellishPupils. These are what ''seem'' to be definitive for her:

* PsychoForHire: Ravat and Tinsel's relationship seems to roughly be: [[spoiler: Ravat is sent to kill whoever Tinsel designates - Which he's all too happy to do - In exchange for what appears to be monetary payment.]]
** Although, [[spoiler: Ravat's clearly stated that he'd be happy to take ''other'' [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean forms of payment.]]]]

* TheLinus: at least in Prelude.

* {{Yandere}}/{{Yangire}}: It depends on ''exactly'' how far her dedication to Nabonidus goes.

*** In any case, she definitely gives off {{Yangire}} vibes. She just seems to slide between being more innocent and being more [[AxCrazy dangerous.]]

* BuxomBabe

* MostCommonSuperPower

* ForgottenFallenFriend

* FridgeLogic: Igrath is the target great affection from the Indigos. Two incredibly sexy women. It all seems that he's quite lucky. … Until you quickly realize that the man loved by two beautiful twins is '''''blind.''''' Let it sink in.

A PsychoForHire whose every facial expression is a variation on a SlasherSmile.

Basically a BigBad. [[spoiler: also TheManBehindTheMan for Tinsle and Wisp]]

* TheDragon

This page lists characters for "Dreamkeepers" and their associated tropes

This page could use some love.

---> [[spoiler:'''Igrath''': '"Did you give Grunn a '''gun!?''''']]

---> [[spoiler:'''Igrath''': ''"Did you give Grunn a '''gun!?"''''']]

--> '''Scinter''': "Hm? Oh, right." ''CHNK.''

* VictoriasSecretCompartment: ''One'' of them stores a communicator in her cleavage, to put it bluntly. And the communicator has a way of alerting its owner to messages while it's...''In storage'': Vibrating. [[CaptainObvious It's quite startling]] when she gets a message right in the middle of an argument with her sister.

* PrehensileHair

---> [[spoiler:'''Wisp:''' "Well, since you bring it up, it's a long story, actually..."]]

** [[spoiler:She's obviously completely loyal to him, but it's unknown if that goes onto a kind of admiration towards him like a father figure...Or perhaps even further.]]
