[[folder:Joyelle the Erinyes]]
[[quoteright:207:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Joyelle_9697.jpg]]
'''Joyelle the Erinyes'''

->''"I would smile, but I lack the facial muscles required to do so."''

Joyelle is an enigmatic Devil, known as a "Force of Joyless Toil". She was introduced as a monster for Julie and her friends to fight before arriving in the city of Autumnson. She originally had the mission of destroying Jordie, a Cleric destined to meet up with Julie.

* BlackMagic: Joyelle can use the magic spell "Unholy Blight" whenever she wants. The spell is specifically designed to kill and sicken creatures with good hearts.

* {{Flight}}
* {{Foil}}: The serious, unfunny half of the dynamic Joyelle and Zeggriz share.
* GenreBlind: Led to her downfall.
* TheHeartless: Joyelle has been described by Julie as "an evil incarnation of joyless toil."
* HonorBeforeReason: Joyelle gives Julie's group a chance to rest before fighting them, and when they do fight Joyelle fights fairly (for the most part).
* ItIsDehumanizing: Most of Julie's group don't refer to the Erinyes as a female, but as a genderless monster.
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: Along with Zeggriz.]]
* LawfulEvil[[invoked]]: In keeping with the [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons source material]] this comic pays homage to in regards to Devils.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Though she's a Devil.
* OutsideContextVillain: Aside from her being here to hunt down and destroy Jordie (and Julie as a plan B target), there is next to no information on why this devil is in the story.
* PerpetualFrowner: Joyelle physically ''can't'' smile because the Erinyes lacks the facial muscles.
* SpeechBubbles: Joyelle's are dark red with yellow text, symbolizing she's an evil outsider.

* VillainTeleportation: Can use this at will, but oddly enough did [[HonorBeforeReason not use this to her advantage]] when battling Julie and her friends.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Zeggriz the Imp]]
[[quoteright:202:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Zeggriz_4455.jpg]]
'''Zeggriz the Imp'''

->''"For Sarbek's Sake, this is so BORING! Go Back to talking about your feats, lack of enchanted weapons, and weaknesses."''

Zeggriz is the snarky underling of Joyelle, spying and performing other errands.

* BeleagueredAssistant: Doesn't seem to enjoy working for Joyelle at all.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mouths off to Joyelle whenever possible.
* DirtyCoward: Would rather go invisible and sit in the sidelines than help Joyelle fight.
* {{Flight}}
* {{Foil}}: Supplies the less serious half to the dynamic Zeggriz and Joyelle share.
* TheImp: Appropriately enough.
* {{Invisibility}}: One of Zeggriz's powers, and uses it for spying.
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: Along with Joyelle.]]
* LawfulEvil[[invoked]]: Not nearly as uptight as Joyelle, though.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Though a devil like Joyelle.
* SmallAnnoyingCreature: Definitely to Lenny, and probably to Joyelle as well.
* SpeechBubbles: Zeggriz's are dark red with yellow text, though in the normal font unlike [[SpockSpeak Joyelle's.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Thomas Stratus]]
[[quoteright:195:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/OldTimer-ola_6664.jpg]]
'''Thomas Stratus'''

->''" My apologies. I tend to zone out sometimes when dealing with really stupid people."''

Up until the second book, this wizard didn't have an official name in the comic, but he has crossed paths with Julie's gang more than once. He runs a scroll shop in Everwood, which was where the group met him. They met him again in Huckleton when they were buying ferry tickets to cross the ocean. Originally he seemed to be an unimportant character, but the second book's has him established as a fair bit higher up on importance.

* AllPowerfulBystander: The old timer is very powerful, but doesn't have much to do with Julie's group.
* AscendedExtra: While he was nothing more than a recurring character in the first book, he's arguably the main character of the [[TwoLinesNoWaiting B plot]] in the second book.
* BadassGrandpa: He reveals that he's higher-levelled than Rocky and Angelika combined, and that he's a great-grandfather.
* BrickJoke: After 300 pages, he finally [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0362.html wears]] his [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0053.html casual outfit]].
* CoolOldGuy
* DeadpanSnarker: Many of his lines are pretty decent.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: He learned about the Souballo's invasion plan, so the Emperor refines a plan to ruin Stratus' name in the city of invasion by commiting horrible crimes, disguised as Stratus.
* InsufferableGenius
* OldMaster: He is a high-level wizard, and has been revealed to be one of [[BigBad Brian Souballo's]] teachers.
* RecurringCharacter: He is one of the few non-player characters that Julie's group has dealt with more than once, and probably later on as well.
* RetiredBadass: He used to be a (presumably) magic teacher for TheEmperor before making/selling magic scrolls in Everwood.
* SquishyWizard
* TakenForGranite: Does this to Zaedalkaah as punishment for Zaedalkaah's failed assassination attempt.
* TrueNeutral[[invoked]]: His personality seems to be this. It's also hinted at when Brian extends the empire membership offer to him as someone "who would be cool...ish with the idea, alignment-wise." Even when Stratus delivers his YoureInsane speech to the emperor, Stratus seems to just phone it in somewhat.
* UnequalRites: He holds the traditional wizard's opinion that Sorcerers are inferior to Wizards.
* YoureInsane: Stratus does a half-hearted, snarky one of these to the Emperor before the Emperor attacks him.

[[folder:Eric Patterson]]
[[quoteright:240:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Patterson_3961.jpg]]
'''Eric Patterson'''

->''"Could you please, please, PLEASE un-quit and come back?"''

Patterson is Julie's former boss when she was working at The Wayside. He's a fairly understanding person, but he does seem not to have that many scruples and is less lawful than one would expect or hope. He eventually gets kidnapped by Brian due to his good barkeeping abilities... and because Angelo wanted a "Huckleton Heartthrob".

* BeleagueredAssistant: For Angelo, though downplayed as Patterson does say he has a lot of free time.
* BenevolentBoss: He doesn't hold it against Julie when she leaves, but he teeters between BenevolentBoss and StupidBoss.
* DeadpanSnarker: And strangely enough Angelo has minimal distain for it.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: In the beginning, not so much now due to CharacterDevelopment.
* GildedCage: When he's kidnapped by Brian to make drinks for him and Angelo, though now his job list has expanded a bit.
* HonestJohnsDealership: He treats The Wayside bar like this, and gets in trouble with health inspectors when Julie blabs about his various practices.
* OddFriendship: Developing a fairly nice one with Umbria.
* StupidBoss: Has shades of this, between his work practices and treatment of employees he doesn't like.
* TookALevelInBadass: Since being kidnapped by Angelo, Patterson took advantage of the free training and tutors and gained levels in Rogue. [[RPGMechanicsVerse Literally.]] He gained four of them according to his [[AllThereInTheManual character page.]]
* TrueNeutral[[invoked]]: The only way he could easily tolerate people ranging from the [[NeutralGood sweet and kind Julie]], to the [[NeutralEvil selfishly evil Umbria.]]

[[folder:Peganone Silkweed]]
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Peganone_387.jpg]]
'''Peganone Silkweed'''

->''"We're not judgin'... at least in the 'non chosen one' sense."''

Peganone is an elven woman, and a member of the Everwood Council. She is also one of the three judges in [[Series/AmericanIdol Everwood Idol]]. She is a wizard who seems to be specialized in Divination magic. She is the most cheerful of the three.

* ActualPacifist: Peganone gained her levels doing non-combat, governmental things. This is a bit of an issue for her since she has volunteered to hunt Umbria/Zaedalkaah down herself. Randi is going with her, though...
* ChaoticGood[[invoked]]: She's a nice person and uses her position in government to do good, but she's not especially organized and isn't handling the Umbria/Zaedalkaah situation very attentively.
* DeskJockey: As with part of the ActualPacifist thing.
* {{Expy}}: Peganone is probably based off Music/PaulaAbdul.
* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: Peganone does this on Julie to see if she is the chosen one.
* MagicMirror: Peganone uses one to do her scrying spells.
* TheMcCoy: While Randi is [[TheKirk practical]] and Simonicus is [[TheSpock distant.]]
* OurElvesAreBetter
* PowerTrio: With Randi and Simonicus. Peganone is probably Id, to match Paula Abdul's role in ''Series/AmericanIdol''.
* RainbowPimpGear: Peganone's [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0211.html adventuring outfit]] is ''really'' over the top. She comments about [[IWasQuiteAFashionVictim not using it for awhile]], which may explain it.
* SquishyWizard: The official website says she is.
* ThemeNaming: In keeping with this comic's tradition, Peganone is also the name of an anti-seizure medication.
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]

[[folder:Simonicus]]
[[quoteright:208:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Simonicus_9942.jpg]]
'''Simonicus'''

->''"Your distressingly low level is all the more reason to keep quiet about your mission."''

Simonicus is probably the leader of the Everwood Council, or it may be a triumverate thing. He is the most serious of the three, and is one of the judges in [[Series/AmericanIdol Everwood Idol.]] He is [[AllThereInTheManual another wizard,]] though we haven't seen him do any wizardly things in the comic yet.

* {{Expy}}: Simonicus is obviously based on Simon Cowell, from ''Series/AmericanIdol''.
* LawfulNeutral[[invoked]]: Even uses it as part of his snark.
* OurGnomesAreWeirder
* MeanBrit: Though in a fantasy setting.
* PowerTrio: As with ''Series/AmericanIdol'', Superego.
* TheSpock: While Randi is [[TheKirk practical]] and Pegaone is [[TheMcCoy emotional.]]
* SquishyWizard: As stated in the website.

[[folder:Randi Goldenaxe]]
[[quoteright:183:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Randi-ola_732.jpg]]
'''Randi Goldenaxe'''

->''"Call me crazy, but it might be a bit of a step backwards in the world savin', girl."''

Randi is the third member of the Everwood Council. Unlike Simonicus and Peganone, Randi isn't a Wizard, but a [[AllThereInTheManual Cleric with a level of Fighter.]] Randi is also the [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready third judge in Everwood Idol.]] Randi told Julie that he would be checking in on her every so often, but we haven't seen him do that yet.

* BladeOnAStick: Randi wields a halberd.
* CovertPervert: He wanted a hug from Julie and got a nice feel of her nicely toned butt. He is a [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame dwarf]] so his shortness allows for him to easily/innocently do this. Julie wasn't fooled.
* {{Expy}}: Randi is based on Randy Jackson of ''Series/AmericanIdol''.
* FriendsWithBenefits: With Merla, casually revealed by her [=PsiCrystal=].
* TheKirk: While Peganone is [[TheMcCoy emotional]] and Simonicus is [[TheSpock distant]].
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Though Randi combines this with SoulBrotha.
* PowerTrio: With Peganone and Simon. Randi is the Ego.
* SoulBrotha: A weird fantasy version of this.

[[folder:Merla Undercobble]]
[[quoteright:180:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Merla_5831.jpg]]
'''Merla Undercobble'''

->''"What's the point in giving a [=PsiCrystal=] an interesting name if it never comes when you call it?"''

In Llanadario, Merla was the one who psionically called out to Julie so they could talk. Merla turned out to be a member of the Everwood Council's network, helping Julie on her quest.

* CharactersAsDevice: The whole tower scene seemed more to do with talking about Julie and Angelika's past than revealing present information. Randi even mutters complaints about this.
* CutesyDwarf: Though she doesn't have dwarven features. She looks like an adult human, shrunken down.
* FairyCompanion: Merla has a [=PsiCrystal=] named "Crystal" but this trope is subverted. Crystal is snarky and rarely helps her.
* FriendsWithBenefits: With Randi, it seems.
* {{Hobbits}}: Not called that in the webcomic for obvious reasons, but Merla's the first important Halfling character in the story.
* KindheartedCatLover: Merla has several pet cats, who all love pesturing Norveg and Angelika.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Looked pretty much the same age almost 20 years ago when working with Theodore and Rosa Magilligan.
* PsychicPowers: Merla is a powerful psionic.
* TeleporterAccident: When attempting to teleport psionically to Everwood, she slams into one of her cats. The way she looks [[VideoGame/EarthBound when she does it]] might be [[ShoutOut familiar to some.]]
* VoiceOfTheLegion: When Merla speaks telepathically to someone, the voice heard in the mind is [[HellIsThatNoise monsterous]] and [[BrownNote horrible.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Eva Wilson]]
[[quoteright:153:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Eva-Wilson_9118.jpg]]
'''Eva Wilson'''

->''"You're wanted in Everwood for crimes against life! That's pretty cut and dry if you ask me!"''

Eva Wilson is a Paladin for Stellina, the Angel of Justice [[AllThereInTheManual (the main Lawful Good deity for Manjulias)]]. She has takes on on the quest of hunting Zaedalkaah down and bringing her to justice. This sentence is of course, death. Eva Wilson's quite the straight arrow, and isn't interested in the reward offered for Zaedalkaah's capture other than to donate it to charity.

* ActionGirl: Easily defeated Zaedalkaah/Umbria when they actually fought (which consisted of a painful horse kick, Zaedalkaah/Umbria attempting to paralyze Eva and failing).
* AndImustScream: [[spoiler: Eva was [[CruelandUnusualDeath crushed into a bloody cube]] via [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Implosion]] spell. Her soul was then bound to a jewel so she could never get to the heaven that she thought she would go.]]
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Averted. [[spoiler:when she loses the battle against Angelo, Eva attempts to commit {{Seppuku}} to avoid a worse fate. This fails, and how she's under his mental control.]]
* {{Brainwashed}}: [[spoiler:What Angelo did to her after preventing her suicide attempt.]]
* TheComicallySerious: Eva Wilson has never been seen as anything other than deadly serious so far.
* TheDeterminator: Successfully resists Angelo's first attempt to [[CharmPerson magically sway her]] to like him. The way Angelo looked when she successfully resisted his magic was [[CrowningMomentofAwesome awesome.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: Eva is good, but all work and no play. Umbria/Zaedalkaah even referred to her as [[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick Miko]] [[ShoutOut Miyazaki.]]
* KnightErrant: She swears fealty to Stellina, but doesn't seem to belong to a specific church.
* KnightInSourArmor: She complains of being a Paladin sometimes, due to her strict adherance to law and her personal code.
* LawfulGood[[invoked]]: Played pretty straight, almost to the point of LawfulStupid.
* LeeroyJenkins: [[spoiler:When Angelo appeared and took Umbria/Zaedalkah, Eva pretty boldly called him out on his evil deeds and attacked him, despite Peganone insisting Eva to stand down. The next part did not go well for any of them.]]
* OddCouple: Her partner is her horse, though Charismatic Seaweed is ''quite a bit'' less lawful than she is.
* {{Paladin}}
* [[SoulBrotha Soul Sista]]: Averted.
* TheyFightCrime: Eva and her fully sentient horse, [[UnfortunateName Charismatic Seaweed.]]
* [[spoiler:TragicHero: Her TragicFlaw was inflexability in her ethics and alignment and her TragicMistake was not backing down even when Angelo gave her the chance to.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Terramycin Shadowleaf]]
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Terramycin_540.jpg]]
'''Terramycin Shadowleaf'''

->''"Living out of your backpack, kicking the Empire's ass... I'm so jealous."''

Terramycin is an Elf girl that Julie's group met in a small town they passed through. She doesn't appear to like humans very much, and has strong and hateful feelings toward the Souballo Empire. She also has a son named Daytranna who runs a curiousity shop in the same town. There is more to her and her son than meets the eye.

* ActionGirl: She turns out to be a mid-level rogue and shows off her skills in a battle in the town.
* ActionMom: Fights alongside her son against the Angelo's Kids who attack the town. She and her son [[CurbstompBattle stomp them flat.]]
* BadassNormal: She activated a scroll of greater invisibility but has no magic of her own, being a rogue.
* FantasticRacism: Terramycin doesn't like humans very much, especially those from the Souballo Empire.
* LoveableRogue: She's a fairly charming girl once you get to know her.
* HeroicNeutral: Expressed an interest in Julie's adventuring but turns out to be more interested in protecting her hometown.
* ItsPersonal: Terramycin and Daytranna slay an entire group of Angelo Kids because they murdered a gnome friend of theirs.
* OurElvesAreBetter: She also explains how Elves get their [[TechnicolorEyes technicolor]] [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair features.]]
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Not quite seven hundred, but she says she's 245 years old, and oddly enough looks younger than her son.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Played with. She's not evil, but she's a force to be reckoned with.
* ReluctantWarrior: After her and Daytranna's part of the battle was over, she openly states that [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0305.html she hates fighting.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Daytranna Shadowleaf]]
[[quoteright:318:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Daytranna_4209.jpg]]
'''Daytranna Shadowleaf'''

->''"It's better to be lucky than good."''

Daytranna is an absentminded Elven man who runs a curiousity shop in a small town Julie and her friends visited. Angelika first visited the store in hopes of getting a new tent, and first had the pleasure of meeting the [[RapunzelHair super long haired]] man. His Mother is Terramycin, and she helps run the inn in the town. Like his mom, there is more to him than meets the eye.

* AbsentMindedProfessor: Not a professor, but a very disorganized wizard who owns a curiousity shop. He ''knew'' there was a tent in his store for Angelika, but it took him 19 minutes to find it.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The side he showed Angelika was quaint and lovably unfocused. The side he showed the Angelo's Kids was [[LetsGetDangerous a lot less so.]]
* FantasticRacism: Has a fair bit less bile than his mom, but it's still there.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Many wouldn't know he was a capable magician just by looking at him or talking to him.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Odd elven example in that even though Daytranna is Terramycin's son, he looks older than her.
* OurElvesAreBetter: Daytranna's features are late fall/early winter as Terramycin explained.
* RapunzelHair: And various objects get trapped in it, such as ''caltrops''. These caltrops even [[ChekhovsGun came in handy]] when fleeing an Angelo's Kids commander.
* SquishyWizard: And the first one not to use [[BlackMage fireballs and lightning bolts]] as their main way to fight. Due to being a Transmuter, he specializes in magic that can make him less squishy and more combat-oriented if need be.
* SummonMagic: Summons creatures to fight for him with his magic, due to not being able to use evocation magic.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Apparently a sign that he was a late fall/early winter Elf, and he's a wizard which fufills the whole supernatural prerequisite thing.

[[folder:Coumadin the Temple Warden]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Coumadin_4527.jpg]]
'''Coumadin the Temple Warden'''

->''"Originality's overrated anyway. As long as it's fun, it can be as memorable and good as any established idea."''

Coumadin is the caretaker for the temple of the First Magicant piece. He is a Cleric who can channel negitive energy and has three Wraith coworkers who he hangs around with. He introduced himself into the story by challenging Julie's group and with his Wraith friends managed to defeat Julie's group, forcing them to flee and regroup.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He and his group successfully routed Julie's.
* BargainWithHeaven or DealWithTheDevil: He created two contracts with the denizens of Zebro for assistance in the ''real'' battle with Julie's group.
* BlackMagic: Most of his magic revolves around negitive energy.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Even The Palm Tree Ghost thinks he's a nut, but he's very good at strategy and guarding the temple.
* ChaoticNeutral[[invoked]]: Serves The Lady of Fate and Fortune, who is a chaotic demigoddess.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Coumadin's creepy and kind of a nut-job, but he's not malicious and [[spoiler:kept the Wraiths from killing Angelika.]]
* FieryRedhead: Subverted. He's quite laid back.
* FriendlessBackground: His only friends are Undead monsters and sometime Zebroan Outsiders he pays to be his wingmen.
* TheNecromancer: Unlike normal Clerics, he has the ability to command undead and has spells that can create and assist them.
* NoSocialSkills: His only friends are undead monsters, and he greeted Julie and her friends by attacking them.
* OurElvesAreBetter: And his name is [[ThemeNaming Coumadin]].
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Coumadin has divine magical powers which come from [[TricksterGod The Lady of Fate and Fortune.]] Like the goddess he serves, he is also a wild card and a bit of a trickster.

[[folder:Brian Souballo]]
[[quoteright:181:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Brian-ola_6188.jpg]]
'''Brian Souballo'''

->''"I'll go, but instead I will polymorph myself into HER instead! What a twist THAT would be!"''

Brian is the emperor of the Souballo Empire, and is married to Angelo. He was outside relaxing on a balcony of his castle when he saw a giant beacon of light that Julie released when she activated her pendant for the first time. Judging from his reaction he knows about the Magicant and probably the pendant keeper as well, and has informed his followers to find her.

* AffablyEvil: Is quite a bit more good-natured than his [[FauxAffablyEvil husband.]]
* TheArchmage: He causually uses the Shapechange spell, which is a level 9 spell in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. In the ruin Stratus story arc, he uses a Quickened Disintegrate spell, which is considered epic magic.
* BeardOfEvil: Brian is one of the two main antagonists of the story and he has a goatee.
* BenevolentBoss: He seems to care about his underlings more than the usual evil overlord, and is also fixated on professionality.
* BetterLivingThroughEvil: One of his plans is rounding up "choice people" to work for the empire. Brian attempts to invoke this trope on his old magic teacher Mr. Stratus, but fails.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's been hard to take seriously as a villain in the past, but the "ruin Thomas Stratus" arc shows him to be intelligent and not afraid to kill dozens of people with his magic.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With Angelo.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He may have chastised Angelo for [[DisproportionateRetribution destroying an underling]], but we learn that declining Brian's offers to join him result in lightning to the face.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: shows signs of this.
* DepravedHomosexual: Averted. The fact that he and Angelo are gay have absolutely nothing to do with their evilness.
* EmperorScientist: [[spoiler: Created a {{Magitek}} system of transforming/transferring [[OurSoulsAreDifferent Cosmic Lifestrand]] into clones created in laboratories.]]
* EvilOverlord: He is one of the two emperors of the Souballo Empire.
* FantasticRacism: He and Angelo don't like Dwarves and make fun of them, but are mortified when a dwarf within earshot catches them doing it.
* LargeHam: He certainly enjoys playing the part of the EvilOverlord.
* LawfulEvil[[invoked]]: His willingness to do unethical things such as kill and destroy are apparent, but runs his Empire with fairness and organization.
* {{Pride}}: Eagerly shows off his castle with ''two hour tours.''
* TomTheDarkLord: Brian sure isn't a very scary name for an evil emperor.
* UnholyMatrimony: He is married to [[YaoiGuys Angelo.]]
* VillainsOutShopping: The first thing we see him doing is enjoying a hot chocolate while wearing his "imperial pajamas".
* YaoiGuys: With Angelo.

[[folder:Angelo Souballo]]
[[quoteright:187:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Angelo-ola_2180.jpg]]
'''Angelo Souballo'''

->''"If someone around here could make a decent drink, I wouldn't have to kill so many employees..."''

Angelo is the leader of "Angelo's Kids", a pseudo-religion of young adventurers who do his bidding and quest in his name. It is revealed that he works with Brian's Souballo Empire and is married to the emperor himself, making Angelo the "co-emperor". Angelo is more of a traditional evil overlord than his husband and isn't afraid to assert this fact.

* AmbidextrousSprite: One of the most obvious examples in the comic.
* BadBoss: What with the underling annihilation and all.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With Brian.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Much moreso than his husband, Brian. Angelo can turn the sweetness on and off like a light switch.
* TheArchmage: Destruction's a level 7 cleric spell in ''D&D'', but empowering it increases it to level 9. This guy's got power.
* CruelMercy: Angelo prevented [[spoiler:Eva's suicide, only because he had something more interesting in store for her. It seems to have to do with the framing of Thomas Stratus.]]
* DarkMessiah: His followers certainly believe he is a messiah figure.
* DemonHead: [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0236.html Angelo does one to Janice.]]
* DepravedHomosexual: Actually averted. The fact that he and Brian are gay have absolutely nothing to do with their evilness.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Totally annihilated an underling because she criticized Brian's meeting plan.
* EvilOverlord: One of the two emperors of the Souballo Empire.
* EvilRedHead: Angelo has "strawberry blonde" hair, and is quite evil.
* EvilSorcerer: Is shown to use high-level arcane magic.
* FashionableAsymmetry: His outfit has one boot longer than the other, one black glove with jewels on it, and one long sleeve and one short sleeve with his tunic.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Angelo's moments where he seems decent are mainly due to Brian suggesting him to be.
* HetIsEw: He's downright disgusted when Eva [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0262.html suggests that he might try to sexually assault her.]]
* HolyHalo: Subverted as Angelo's a pretty bad egg.
* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: Seemingly not played for laughs like with Peganone. Angelo's outfit is pretty out there.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Angelo may be one of the most conceited and distainful creatures in this story. He cares less about his underlings than his husband, Brian.
* KickTheDog: Most of his dealings with Eva.
* LawfulEvil[[invoked]]: We may be [[NeutralEvil stretching the lawful]] a bit, but he too shows organization and fairly careful planning.
* LightIsNotGood: Angelo is a cleric who wears mostly white, but seems totally insane.
* TheMagnificent: His followers call him "Our Beautiful Worship".
* ManipulativeBastard: And when his words fail, he'll use magic to make you see it his way.
* PathOfInspiration: The religion he created.
* TheRedMage: Angelo is stated to be a "Mystic Theurge", a ''D&D'' PrestigeClass allowing the simultaneous advance of both Cleric spells and (in Angelo's case) Sorcerer spells. This usually leads to a MasterOfNone situation, but Angelo seems to have overcome that through sheer experience and high levels.
* SmugSuper: Angelo is an epic spell-caster and is worshipped by his followers, but is quite smug.
* [[spoiler: UsedToBeASweetKid: A group of soldiers Julie's group encounter revealed that Angelo used to be a Cleric for [[LawfulGood Stellina, the Angel of Justice.]]]]
* YaoiGuys: With Brian.
* YourSoulIsMine: He collects people's souls in gems, a habit even his partner finds a little creepy. One of his own allies fears that he will devour her's if she becomes too powerful.

[[quoteright:216:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Bruce_616.jpg]]
'''Bruce Moriatos'''

->''"As per your request, sir."''

Bruce Moriatos seems to be in charge of soldier training in the Empire when it comes to physical training.

* BattleButler: Has this personality.
* BlackKnight: His character sheet [[AllthereInTheManual on the website]] says he's a Blackguard.
* CoDragons: Along with Sophia, Janice and Exillon.
* TheComicallySerious: Remained as serious as ever even when giving those shortbread cookies to the Emperor.

'''Sophia Moriatos'''

->''"I also have a 347 page progress report for you to read if you desire."''

Sophia Moriatos is Bruce's daughter, and in charge of the magical part of soldier training in the empire. She's a cheery go-getter, and a powerful sorceress in her own right.

* CheerfulChild: Though she's part of an Evil Empire.
* ChildMage: A powerful sorceress depsite her young age.
* ChildProdigy: She's a child but has a high ranking position in the army.
* CoDragons: With Bruce, Janice and Exillon.
* DaddysLittleVillain: For Bruce, who is another department head.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: Infiltrates the Silverfronds palace both with disguise magic of her own, and a more powerful magic ring she received from Mr. Souballo.
* EarlyBirdCameo: We see her congratulating Jason when he finished Barbarian School.
* EnfantTerrible: Considering their line of work, she had to get strong someway.
* [[EvilSorcerer Evil Sorceress]]:
* GenkiGirl: Greets Angelo by [[TheGlomp glomping]] [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace him.]]
* PerkyFemaleMinion: Oh yes.

[[folder:Janice Jamison]]
[[quoteright:129:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Janice_7609.jpg]]
'''Janice Jamison'''

->''"Mind your own business, you little rodent!"''

Janice is the head of magical research in the empire. She is also tasked with being the military tactician and is researching on finding Julie. Her efforts have been unsuccessful so far.

* CoDragons: Just like Bruce, Sophia and Exillon.
* DeadpanSnarker: Not even Angelo chewing her out in some kind of [[OneWingedAngel evil, eldritch form]] phased her snark.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She is revealed to have a black dragon she adopted as her ''son'' and does have love for him.
* {{Evil Old Folk|s}}
* EvilutionaryBiologist: Before being forced to be the Empire's tactician, Brian taught her about magical science and she spent most of her time producing symbiote bonded humans in a [[MagiTek magical science lab.]]
* {{Foil}}: Comic's already showing hints of this between Sophia and Janice.
* InsufferableGenius: Angelo seems to hate this about her, too.
* LeanAndMean: Very much so. The website character info calls her "Janice the Annis".
* PerpetualFrowner: It's easy to see where all those wrinkles came from.
* PowerHair: Wears it short like one.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Likes the color purple a lot, and she is one of the most powerful wizards in the Souballo Empire.
* SquishyWizard
* WickedWitch: Illustrated very clearly in [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0487.html this comic.]]
* YouDidntAsk: [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0236.html Very nicely done.]]

[[folder:Master Exillon]]
[[quoteright:157:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Exillon_9517.jpg]]
'''Master Exillon'''

->''"BEEP."''

Exillon is some kind of [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot glowing robotic crystal,]] and the token non-human part of this villain ensemble. Exillon's an [[AllThereInTheManual outside agent]] that's working in secret with the empire in exchange for some kind of reward. The only person who can understand what it says is Brian.

* CoDragons: Like Bruce, Sophia and Janice.
* CyberCyclops: It certainly looks robotic.
* EnigmaticMinion: Mainly because only Brian understands what it's saying.
* FacelessEye: Exillon doesn't have a face, only a robotic-looking central eye.
* PsychicPowers: Has a variety of psionic powers [[AllThereInTheManual according to the website.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: A central eye (or robotic sensor) where its face would be.
* SinisterGeometry: An elongated tetradecahedron accompanied by 10 smaller crystal-like things in various 2d geometric shapes.
* TheUnintelligible: Exillon speaks only in robotic sounding BEEPS, but [[TranslatorBuddy Brian can understand it.]]

[[folder:Soldiers of the Souballo Empire]]
'''Soldiers of the Souballo Empire'''

->''"Certain filthy Elves are gonna get what's coming to them in time."''

The [[TheEmpire Souballo Empire]] seems to be the main antagonist force in the comic. It is led by [[TheEmperor Brian Souballo]] and [[BigBadDuumvirate Angelo Souballo]], and its agenda includes making Manjulias a [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans better place to live]] for humans, and [[BetterLivingThroughEvil anyone who allies with them.]] This would be all well and good if it weren't for its [[ANaziByAnyOtherName tyranical tendencies]] and [[WorldDomination hostile approach.]] This section will cover tropes of the Souballo Empire as a whole and various minor members of the Souballo Empire have invoked.

* EliteMooks: Most all of the soldiers Julie's group has met so far have class levels and specialized training.
* FacelessMooks: Completely averted.
* FantasticRacism: Actively work against Elves due to idealogical differences.
* FantasyCharacterClasses: There are members of every character class except Bard (with the exception of Umbria) in the Empire.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: The Souballo Empire gives many other races this feeling.
* KnightTemplar: Most of the imperials are depicted this way.
* MagicKnight: [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0094.html Carissa]] went this route.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: At its worst, the empire's warlike nature and [[FantasticRacism genocidal attitude towards Elves]] somewhat resembles Nazi Germany.
* PunchClockVillain: Brian's attempts at professionalism and the way he treats his underlings suggest they probably get paid quite well. There are some nutters, but many of the imperials are depicted as normal people who are fighting for a world they were promised.
* PuttingOnTheReich: Most of the members of the Empire we've seen seem to genuinely believe in the Emperor's vision and willingly do what he commands. These soldiers range from the [[PsychoForHire nutjobs]] to [[MyCountryRightOrWrong seemingly reasonable people.]]
* WeAreEverywhere: WordOfGod stated the Empire is the most concentrated in the northern half of the main Manjulias continent, but agents of the empire have been seen as far away as the Baxillon Island.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: When it comes to making the world a better place for humans, anyway...

[[folder:Angelo's Kids]]
'''Angelo's Kids'''

->''"Defying our Beautiful Worship is a capital offense. Even those who aren't under the light of his halo know that."''

Angelo's Kids is a {{cult}} composed of young adventurer fanatics who idolize [[BigBadDuumvirate Angelo Souballo]] as a [[HighPriest holy man]], due to his powerful [[TheRedMage divine and arcane magic]]. They [[PathOfInspiration preach his dogma and enforce his will]], which often means destruction of any who won't submit to the "light of his halo". It's been revealed in the comic that Angelo's Kids is a faction of the Souballo Empire, but not all of Angelo's flock are aware of this. Even without official affiliation, the two organizations often work together due to having similar ideals. Angelo's kids are often more extreme in their methods than the Empire, and it's likely the Angelo's kids are used to perform certain things the Empire publicly won't.

* AllCrimesAreEqual: In regards to defying Angelo, as quoted above.
* BurnTheWitch: Often do this with heretics and other undesirables.
* {{Cosplay}}: In universe, with Angelo Souballo.
* CuteAndPsycho: Many of them look very good, and are very cheerful as well as nuts.
* FantasticRacism: A little ''less'' so than the Souballo Empire.
* FantasyCharacterClasses: Much like the Souballo Empire, including the lack of Bards.
* FashionableAsymmetry: The AK uniforms mimic Angelo's taste in attire, with one gloved hand, and one boot longer than another.
* {{Flanderization}}: In universe. Many of them emulate Angelo's mannerisms and flamboyance. Some of them even use a NoblewomansLaugh, despite Angelo himself never laughing like that once in the comic so far.
* LightIsNotGood: Some of the Angelo's Kids are Clerics (Angelo himself uses powerful divine magic) and channel positive energy.
* ObliviouslyEvil: Some may be aware that what they're doing is horrible, while others may just be thoughtlessly following orders.
* PathOfInspiration: They all follow the dogma of Angelo in a very hardcore manner.
* StepfordSmiler: With the nasty things they often have to do, it's hard to imagine them otherwise.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Much like the Souballo Empire.
* WeAreEverywhere: Perhaps even moreso than the Souballo Empire.

!Other Characters

[[folder:Thomas Stratus]]
[[quoteright:195:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/OldTimer-ola_6664.jpg]]
'''Thomas Stratus'''

->''" My apologies. I tend to zone out sometimes when dealing with really stupid people."''

Up until the second book, this wizard didn't have an official name in the comic, but he has crossed paths with Julie's gang more than once. He runs a scroll shop in Everwood, which was where the group met him. They met him again in Huckleton when they were buying ferry tickets to cross the ocean. Originally he seemed to be an unimportant character, but the second book's has him established as a fair bit higher up on importance.

* AllPowerfulBystander: The old timer is very powerful, but doesn't have much to do with Julie's group.
* AscendedExtra: While he was nothing more than a recurring character in the first book, he's arguably the main character of the [[TwoLinesNoWaiting B plot]] in the second book.
* BadassGrandpa: He reveals that he's higher-levelled than Rocky and Angelika combined, and that he's a great-grandfather.
* BrickJoke: After 300 pages, he finally [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0362.html wears]] his [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0053.html casual outfit]].
* CoolOldGuy
* DeadpanSnarker: Many of his lines are pretty decent.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: He learned about the Souballo's invasion plan, so the Emperor refines a plan to ruin Stratus' name in the city of invasion by commiting horrible crimes, disguised as Stratus.
* InsufferableGenius
* OldMaster: He is a high-level wizard, and has been revealed to be one of [[BigBad Brian Souballo's]] teachers.
* RecurringCharacter: He is one of the few non-player characters that Julie's group has dealt with more than once, and probably later on as well.
* RetiredBadass: He used to be a (presumably) magic teacher for TheEmperor before making/selling magic scrolls in Everwood.
* SquishyWizard
* TakenForGranite: Does this to Zaedalkaah as punishment for Zaedalkaah's failed assassination attempt.
* TrueNeutral[[invoked]]: His personality seems to be this. It's also hinted at when Brian extends the empire membership offer to him as someone "who would be cool...ish with the idea, alignment-wise." Even when Stratus delivers his YoureInsane speech to the emperor, Stratus seems to just phone it in somewhat.
* UnequalRites: He holds the traditional wizard's opinion that Sorcerers are inferior to Wizards.
* YoureInsane: Stratus does a half-hearted, snarky one of these to the Emperor before the Emperor attacks him.

[[folder:Eric Patterson]]
[[quoteright:240:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Patterson_3961.jpg]]
'''Eric Patterson'''

->''"Could you please, please, PLEASE un-quit and come back?"''

Patterson is Julie's former boss when she was working at The Wayside. He's a fairly understanding person, but he does seem not to have that many scruples and is less lawful than one would expect or hope. He eventually gets kidnapped by Brian due to his good barkeeping abilities... and because Angelo wanted a "Huckleton Heartthrob".

* BeleagueredAssistant: For Angelo, though downplayed as Patterson does say he has a lot of free time.
* BenevolentBoss: He doesn't hold it against Julie when she leaves, but he teeters between BenevolentBoss and StupidBoss.
* DeadpanSnarker: And strangely enough Angelo has minimal distain for it.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: In the beginning, not so much now due to CharacterDevelopment.
* GildedCage: When he's kidnapped by Brian to make drinks for him and Angelo, though now his job list has expanded a bit.
* HonestJohnsDealership: He treats The Wayside bar like this, and gets in trouble with health inspectors when Julie blabs about his various practices.
* OddFriendship: Developing a fairly nice one with Umbria.
* StupidBoss: Has shades of this, between his work practices and treatment of employees he doesn't like.
* TookALevelInBadass: Since being kidnapped by Angelo, Patterson took advantage of the free training and tutors and gained levels in Rogue. [[RPGMechanicsVerse Literally.]] He gained four of them according to his [[AllThereInTheManual character page.]]
* TrueNeutral[[invoked]]: The only way he could easily tolerate people ranging from the [[NeutralGood sweet and kind Julie]], to the [[NeutralEvil selfishly evil Umbria.]]

'''Peganone Silkweed'''

->''"We're not judgin'... at least in the 'non chosen one' sense."''

Peganone is an elven woman, and a member of the Everwood Council. She is also one of the three judges in [[Series/AmericanIdol Everwood Idol]]. She is a wizard who seems to be specialized in Divination magic. She is the most cheerful of the three.

* ActualPacifist: Peganone gained her levels doing non-combat, governmental things. This is a bit of an issue for her since she has volunteered to hunt Umbria/Zaedalkaah down herself. Randi is going with her, though...
* ChaoticGood[[invoked]]: She's a nice person and uses her position in government to do good, but she's not especially organized and isn't handling the Umbria/Zaedalkaah situation very attentively.
* DeskJockey: As with part of the ActualPacifist thing.
* {{Expy}}: Peganone is probably based off Music/PaulaAbdul.
* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: Peganone does this on Julie to see if she is the chosen one.
* MagicMirror: Peganone uses one to do her scrying spells.
* TheMcCoy: While Randi is [[TheKirk practical]] and Simonicus is [[TheSpock distant.]]
* OurElvesAreBetter
* PowerTrio: With Randi and Simonicus. Peganone is probably Id, to match Paula Abdul's role in ''Series/AmericanIdol''.
* RainbowPimpGear: Peganone's [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0211.html adventuring outfit]] is ''really'' over the top. She comments about [[IWasQuiteAFashionVictim not using it for awhile]], which may explain it.
* SquishyWizard: The official website says she is.
* ThemeNaming: In keeping with this comic's tradition, Peganone is also the name of an anti-seizure medication.
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]

'''Simonicus'''

->''"Your distressingly low level is all the more reason to keep quiet about your mission."''

Simonicus is probably the leader of the Everwood Council, or it may be a triumverate thing. He is the most serious of the three, and is one of the judges in [[Series/AmericanIdol Everwood Idol.]] He is [[AllThereInTheManual another wizard,]] though we haven't seen him do any wizardly things in the comic yet.

* {{Expy}}: Simonicus is obviously based on Simon Cowell, from ''Series/AmericanIdol''.
* LawfulNeutral[[invoked]]: Even uses it as part of his snark.
* OurGnomesAreWeirder
* MeanBrit: Though in a fantasy setting.
* PowerTrio: As with ''Series/AmericanIdol'', Superego.

'''Randi Goldenaxe'''

->''"Call me crazy, but it might be a bit of a step backwards in the world savin', girl."''

Randi is the third member of the Everwood Council. Unlike Simonicus and Peganone, Randi isn't a Wizard, but a [[AllThereInTheManual Cleric with a level of Fighter.]] Randi is also the [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready third judge in Everwood Idol.]] Randi told Julie that he would be checking in on her every so often, but we haven't seen him do that yet.

* BladeOnAStick: Randi wields a halberd.
* CovertPervert: He wanted a hug from Julie and got a nice feel of her nicely toned butt. He is a [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame dwarf]] so his shortness allows for him to easily/innocently do this. Julie wasn't fooled.
* {{Expy}}: Randi is based on Randy Jackson of ''Series/AmericanIdol''.
* FriendsWithBenefits: With Merla, casually revealed by her [=PsiCrystal=].
* TheKirk: While Peganone is [[TheMcCoy emotional]] and Simonicus is [[TheSpock distant]].
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Though Randi combines this with SoulBrotha.
* PowerTrio: With Peganone and Simon. Randi is the Ego.
* SoulBrotha: A weird fantasy version of this.

'''Merla Undercobble'''

->''"What's the point in giving a [=PsiCrystal=] an interesting name if it never comes when you call it?"''

In Llanadario, Merla was the one who psionically called out to Julie so they could talk. Merla turned out to be a member of the Everwood Council's network, helping Julie on her quest.

* CharactersAsDevice: The whole tower scene seemed more to do with talking about Julie and Angelika's past than revealing present information. Randi even mutters complaints about this.
* CutesyDwarf: Though she doesn't have dwarven features. She looks like an adult human, shrunken down.
* FairyCompanion: Merla has a [=PsiCrystal=] named "Crystal" but this trope is subverted. Crystal is snarky and rarely helps her.
* FriendsWithBenefits: With Randi, it seems.
* {{Hobbits}}: Not called that in the webcomic for obvious reasons, but Merla's the first important Halfling character in the story.
* KindheartedCatLover: Merla has several pet cats, who all love pesturing Norveg and Angelika.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Looked pretty much the same age almost 20 years ago when working with Theodore and Rosa Magilligan.
* PsychicPowers: Merla is a powerful psionic.
* TeleporterAccident: When attempting to teleport psionically to Everwood, she slams into one of her cats. The way she looks [[VideoGame/EarthBound when she does it]] might be [[ShoutOut familiar to some.]]
* VoiceOfTheLegion: When Merla speaks telepathically to someone, the voice heard in the mind is [[HellIsThatNoise monsterous]] and [[BrownNote horrible.]]

[[folder:Eva Wilson]]

->''"You're wanted in Everwood for crimes against life! That's pretty cut and dry if you ask me!"''

Eva Wilson is a Paladin for Stellina, the Angel of Justice [[AllThereInTheManual (the main Lawful Good deity for Manjulias)]]. She has takes on on the quest of hunting Zaedalkaah down and bringing her to justice. This sentence is of course, death. Eva Wilson's quite the straight arrow, and isn't interested in the reward offered for Zaedalkaah's capture other than to donate it to charity.

* ActionGirl: Easily defeated Zaedalkaah/Umbria when they actually fought (which consisted of a painful horse kick, Zaedalkaah/Umbria attempting to paralyze Eva and failing).
* AndImustScream: [[spoiler: Eva was [[CruelandUnusualDeath crushed into a bloody cube]] via [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Implosion]] spell. Her soul was then bound to a jewel so she could never get to the heaven that she thought she would go.]]
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Averted. [[spoiler:when she loses the battle against Angelo, Eva attempts to commit {{Seppuku}} to avoid a worse fate. This fails, and how she's under his mental control.]]
* {{Brainwashed}}: [[spoiler:What Angelo did to her after preventing her suicide attempt.]]
* TheComicallySerious: Eva Wilson has never been seen as anything other than deadly serious so far.
* TheDeterminator: Successfully resists Angelo's first attempt to [[CharmPerson magically sway her]] to like him. The way Angelo looked when she successfully resisted his magic was [[CrowningMomentofAwesome awesome.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: Eva is good, but all work and no play. Umbria/Zaedalkaah even referred to her as [[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick Miko]] [[ShoutOut Miyazaki.]]
* KnightErrant: She swears fealty to Stellina, but doesn't seem to belong to a specific church.
* KnightInSourArmor: She complains of being a Paladin sometimes, due to her strict adherance to law and her personal code.
* LawfulGood[[invoked]]: Played pretty straight, almost to the point of LawfulStupid.
* LeeroyJenkins: [[spoiler:When Angelo appeared and took Umbria/Zaedalkah, Eva pretty boldly called him out on his evil deeds and attacked him, despite Peganone insisting Eva to stand down. The next part did not go well for any of them.]]
* OddCouple: Her partner is her horse, though Charismatic Seaweed is ''quite a bit'' less lawful than she is.
* {{Paladin}}
* [[SoulBrotha Soul Sista]]: Averted.
* TheyFightCrime: Eva and her fully sentient horse, [[UnfortunateName Charismatic Seaweed.]]
* [[spoiler:TragicHero: Her TragicFlaw was inflexability in her ethics and alignment and her TragicMistake was not backing down even when Angelo gave her the chance to.]]

Terramycin is an Elf girl that Julie's group met in a small town they passed through. She doesn't appear to like humans very much, and has strong and hateful feelings toward the Souballo Empire. She also has a son named Daytranna who runs a curiousity shop in the same town. There is more to her and her son than meets the eye.

[[quoteright:318:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Daytranna_4209.jpg]]
'''Daytranna Shadowleaf'''

->''"It's better to be lucky than good."''

Daytranna is an absentminded Elven man who runs a curiousity shop in a small town Julie and her friends visited. Angelika first visited the store in hopes of getting a new tent, and first had the pleasure of meeting the [[RapunzelHair super long haired]] man. His Mother is Terramycin, and she helps run the inn in the town. Like his mom, there is more to him than meets the eye.

* AbsentMindedProfessor: Not a professor, but a very disorganized wizard who owns a curiousity shop. He ''knew'' there was a tent in his store for Angelika, but it took him 19 minutes to find it.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The side he showed Angelika was quaint and lovably unfocused. The side he showed the Angelo's Kids was [[LetsGetDangerous a lot less so.]]
* FantasticRacism: Has a fair bit less bile than his mom, but it's still there.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Many wouldn't know he was a capable magician just by looking at him or talking to him.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Odd elven example in that even though Daytranna is Terramycin's son, he looks older than her.
* OurElvesAreBetter: Daytranna's features are late fall/early winter as Terramycin explained.
* RapunzelHair: And various objects get trapped in it, such as ''caltrops''. These caltrops even [[ChekhovsGun came in handy]] when fleeing an Angelo's Kids commander.
* SquishyWizard: And the first one not to use [[BlackMage fireballs and lightning bolts]] as their main way to fight. Due to being a Transmuter, he specializes in magic that can make him less squishy and more combat-oriented if need be.
* SummonMagic: Summons creatures to fight for him with his magic, due to not being able to use evocation magic.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Apparently a sign that he was a late fall/early winter Elf, and he's a wizard which fufills the whole supernatural prerequisite thing.

'''Coumadin the Temple Warden'''

->''"Originality's overrated anyway. As long as it's fun, it can be as memorable and good as any established idea."''

Coumadin is the caretaker for the temple of the First Magicant piece. He is a Cleric who can channel negitive energy and has three Wraith coworkers who he hangs around with. He introduced himself into the story by challenging Julie's group and with his Wraith friends managed to defeat Julie's group, forcing them to flee and regroup.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He and his group successfully routed Julie's.
* BargainWithHeaven or DealWithTheDevil: He created two contracts with the denizens of Zebro for assistance in the ''real'' battle with Julie's group.
* BlackMagic: Most of his magic revolves around negitive energy.

* ChaoticNeutral[[invoked]]: Serves The Lady of Fate and Fortune, who is a chaotic demigoddess.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Coumadin's creepy and kind of a nut-job, but he's not malicious and [[spoiler:kept the Wraiths from killing Angelika.]]

'''Joyelle the Erinyes'''

->''"I would smile, but I lack the facial muscles required to do so."''

Joyelle is an enigmatic Devil, known as a "Force of Joyless Toil". She was introduced as a monster for Julie and her friends to fight before arriving in the city of Autumnson. She originally had the mission of destroying Jordie, a Cleric destined to meet up with Julie.

* BlackMagic: Joyelle can use the magic spell "Unholy Blight" whenever she wants. The spell is specifically designed to kill and sicken creatures with good hearts.
* TheComicallySerious: Joyelle's so utterly serious that the font she uses in her speech bubbles is different than normal.
* DarkActionGirl

* EvilIsSexy: In-universe example. Rocky commented that "it was actually kinda hot, in an evil librarian sort of way."
* {{Flight}}
* {{Foil}}: The serious, unfunny half of the dynamic Joyelle and Zeggriz share.
* GenreBlind: Led to her downfall.
* TheHeartless: Joyelle has been described by Julie as "an evil incarnation of joyless toil."
* HonorBeforeReason: Joyelle gives Julie's group a chance to rest before fighting them, and when they do fight Joyelle fights fairly (for the most part).
* ItIsDehumanizing: Most of Julie's group don't refer to the Erinyes as a female, but as a genderless monster.
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: Along with Zeggriz.]]
* LawfulEvil[[invoked]]: In keeping with the [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons source material]] this comic pays homage to in regards to Devils.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Though she's a Devil.
* OutsideContextVillain: Aside from her being here to hunt down and destroy Jordie (and Julie as a plan B target), there is next to no information on why this devil is in the story.
* PerpetualFrowner: Joyelle physically ''can't'' smile because the Erinyes lacks the facial muscles.
* SpeechBubbles: Joyelle's are dark red with yellow text, symbolizing she's an evil outsider.
* SpockSpeak: Never uses contractions when speaking, and even uses a less comic-y font in her speech balloons.
* VillainTeleportation: Can use this at will, but oddly enough did [[HonorBeforeReason not use this to her advantage]] when battling Julie and her friends.
* WingedHumanoid: Joyelle resembles some kind of fallen angel.

'''Zeggriz the Imp'''

Zeggriz is the snarky underling of Joyelle, spying and performing other errands.

* BeleagueredAssistant: Doesn't seem to enjoy working for Joyelle at all.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mouths off to Joyelle whenever possible.

[[quoteright:123:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Umbria-ola_2672.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:123:[-You can trust her.-] ]]
'''Umbria/Zaedalkaah'''

->''"I'm as innocent as a child with a fresh, delicious heart."''

Umbria/Zaedalkaah is a secondary antagonist in the comic. She has had quite a bit of screen time, and has had many adventures on her quest to get her old body (and character classes?) back. Her quest is basically the [[TwoLinesNoWaiting B Plot]] of the entire comic.

* BackFromTheDead: Zaedalkaah's rebirth took the form of whatever revived him. Since it was Julie's form, he may also qualify as a GenderBender.
* BadassTeacher: When conventionally teaching her non-bard orchestra wasn't working so well, she opted to take them to Mr. Moriatos' practice dungeon for real combat/dungeon experience. She has helped twelve of her students gain their first bard level so far.
* BetaTestBaddie: Umbria was initially on a quest to regain her power and her true form, which this [[GenderBender female]] [[QuirkyBard bardic form]] isn't. Her former employers however, refuse to take her back due to her weakened state. She ultimately ends up stuck in the Souballo Empire, albeit with a high ranking position, and seems to have dropped this for now, though she is still trying to increase her influence.
* CardCarryingVillain: She's evil and knows it.
* CombatPragmatist: This combined with luck is how she's survived so long on her own.
* ConsummateLiar: Subverted somewhat. She ''thinks'' she's a great liar, but her lying isn't that great, and Jason and Trevoricus caught on and eventually kicked her out of the group.
* CoolTeacher: Many of her students seem to think this... when she's not being [[SadistTeacher really mean]] to them.
* DarkActionGirl: Quite excellent in combat, and evil.
* DeadpanSnarker: Definitely has her moments, and finding out Angelo's Kids is part of TheEmpire was probably the [[CrowningMomentOfFunny best one.]]
* DePower: Zaedalkaah's reincarnation required her to take Julie's class and levels, making her a Level 3 bard in the beginning. We see that her previous incarnation was stronger than this, to the point of being a famous assassin in the Brotherhood. The guild no longer wants her now that she's weak, so her main goal is to reclaim her lost power.
* EvilTwin: To Julie.
* EyeScream: She seems to like stabbing people in the eye with her Rapier.
* FanservicePack: Inverted just like with Angelika and Julie. Umbria gets a costume change starting from [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0350.html comic #350 onward]] which no longer shows off her legs.
* GenderBender: Umbria was originally a male, fiend touched being named Zaedalkaah, but was forced to reincarnate as an EvilTwin of the person who released him from his prison, Julie. She initially tries to recover her old body and class by requesting the help of the organization she once belonged to, [[FirstLawOfGenderBending but ends up thwarted and sidetracked]]. She takes her present form in stride, and [[SecondLawOfGenderBending finds Julie's good looks useful]] for manipulating people. For the time being at least, she has more or less settled for remaining this way.
* GildedCage: She was taken to Souballo HQ and, though in luxury, was forced to produce an anthem for the Souballo Empire.
* GoodColorsEvilColors: Umbria's character design is an "evil palette swap" of Julie's design. She lampshades this when talking to two evangelists of Angelo's Kids.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Umbria is extremely conceited and self-centered, using people around her at any opportunity to get ahead.
* {{Jerkass}}: During her travels with Trevoricus and Jason, she treats them like crap. When she gets voluntered to create the Souballo Empire's anthem, she treats her assigned orchestra like crap.
* MagicMusic: A much [[IncrediblyLamePun darker reprise]] to Julie's powers.
* ManipulativeBitch: She has used Jason's (and Trevoricus' to a lesser extent) attraction to her as well as their greed to get them to do whatever she wants. They wised up and tossed her out of the group.
* MusicalAssassin: Though in her past life, he was [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0175.html more traditional.]]
* NeutralEvil[[invoked]]: Doesn't have any bias for or against law, but is clearly evil.
* NonLethalKO: Thanks to a bungled move silently check, the [[RecurringCharacter Scroll Shop Wizard]] heard Zaedalkaah coming and promptly foiled the assassination by [[TakenForGranite petrifying him.]]
* PsychoticSmirk: Likes doing these a lot.
* PuttingOnTheReich: Starting with [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0350.html comic #350]] she seems to have embraced the dress code of TheEmpire.
* QuirkyBard: Albeit evil...
* RoyalRapier: Her weapon of choice.
* [[SealedEvilInACan Sealed Evil in a Wand]]: Until Julie [[NiceJobBreakingItHero accidentally released it]].
* SmugSnake: Anyone not more powerful than her she tends to treat like crap... and she's even snuck a few snide remarks at the more powerful people around her. She's shown to be very conceited and overconfident, even though most of her successes were due to dumb luck.
* TerribleTrio: With Trevoricus and Jason, until they [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0180.html kicked her out.]] But then Angelo forces them, along with Jane, to work together again for his own amusement.
* TheUnfettered: Umbria seems to be willing to do whatever it takes to reclaim her old power. She manipulates and lies to people, kills them, and has joined Angelo's Kids not because she believes in their dogma but because she believes it's a decent way to achieve her goals.

[[caption-width-right:197:[-Not too bright...-] ]]
'''Jason Moriatos'''

->''"Now that I think about it, a 3 vs 5 fight wasn't too smart anyway."''

Jason is a barbarian who was part of a three-person team of bandits who attacked Julie's group. They lost, and Jane was killed (though not by Julie's group). Umbria watched over them and joined the group. Jason seems to be attracted to Umbria and is fairly easily bent to her will.

* BadassNormal: Uses his strength and combat skills instead of magic.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: Jason comes from an evil family. This may attribute to why he's such a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter.
** EvilMatriarch: Jason's mom [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0177.html is implied to be one.]]
** TykeBomb: According to Jason, his sister Sophia is pretty high levelled. She also [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0235.html works for Brian.]]
* BrainsAndBrawn: The brawn part, while Trevoricus is the brains.
* CaptainObvious: States some pretty obvious things during his and Trevoricus' travels with Umbria.
* TheDitz: Jason can be pretty friendly, but he isn't very bright.
* DumbMuscle: Jason doesn't strike the viewer as very smart.
* EpicFlail: Jason's [[WeaponOfChoice weapon of choice]] is a one-handed flail.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He welcomed [[DarkActionGirl Umbria]] as the new leader of their little group with little question.
* SuperheroSchool: Jason graduated from "Olivia's school for Responsible Barbarians".
* TerribleTrio: With Trevoricus and Umbria.
* [[TokenGoodTeammate Token Good Family Member]]: Jason seems to be the least evil member of his family. He may also be a bit of a BlackSheep over this.
* TrueNeutral[[invoked]]: Doesn't have the chaos we've seen in Pauline, and goes along with whoever is commanding him.
* TheUnfavorite: Implied when compared to his sister, who has so much more power and so many more achievements.
* WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: Jason comes from an evil family. Jason has complained about them chiding Jason over not being more evil like them.

[[folder:Trevoricus]]
[[quoteright:161:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Trevoricus-ola_2729.jpg]]
'''Trevoricus'''

->''"Confuse a little human girl for a halfling ONCE and they never let it go!"''

Trevoricus is another part of Jane's team, before it was hijacked by Umbria. Trevoricus is a gnome wizard who is unliked by the law due to some unfortunate mistakes and indescretions he had with a young female human child. He is also the brains of the group, though he too passively follows Umbria's selfish and crazy schemes.

* EightiesHair: When he talked about [[FlashBack his past]] he was shown with a [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0176.html pretty epic '80s mullet.]]
* ActionSurvivor: In his backstory comic, he tells that he fled when his [[DoomedHometown hometown was destroyed]] by the [[EvilEmpire Souballo Empire.]]
* BrainsAndBrawn: The brains part.
* CowardlyLion: He's not known for his guts and knows it. It took him over 100 pages of comic to confront Umbria with her jerkassery. Thanks to help from Jane's Ghost, he [[CharacterDevelopment gets over his cowardice]], confronts Umbria and kicks her out of the group.
* MistakenForPedophile: He eventually explains that the "molestation accident" was him mistaking a human child for a halfling adult; he had good reason for that, since he was traveling with a caravan of halflings.
* OurGnomesAreWeirder: He is a gnome, and they are short, yellow-skinned humanoids with pointy tails.
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: In the tale of his past, we can see him rapping [[Film/TeenWitch "Top That"]] with two other guys. It's as awful as it sounds.
* TheResenter: Towards Jason at times in regards to his success with women (or supposed success with Umbria).
* RunningGag: Umbria ribbing him over the whole accidental attempted child sex thing. Though the [[DudeNotFunny only one who finds that funny]] is Umbria herself.
* SquishyWizard: Trevoricus has the least amount of physical strength in the trio.
* TerribleTrio: With Jason and Umbria.
* TrueNeutral[[invoked]]: Not so much as a philosophy but that he's wishy-washy this way.

[[folder:Jane]]
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Jane_8069.jpg]]
'''Jane'''

->''"You can't fight us with all that crap on your back!"''

Jane was the former leader of a small adventuring group that waylaid Julie's group. They tried to bluff Julie that some treasure Julie's group found earlier was theirs. The bluff failed and they fought Julie's group for the swag instead, but that also failed. Julie's group spared the trio, but Jane was killed by Umbria/Zaedalkaah while Jason and Trevoricus were unconcious in order to usurp Jane's position in the group. However, recently she has come back as a ghost and appeared before Trevoricus. The two work together to defeat Umbria and kick her out of the group, so Jane can take her spot as leader back.

* ActionGirl: Even as a ghost.
* BackFromTheDead: Story-wise, but played with, as she's still [[OurGhostsAreDifferent technically dead.]] Played straight later on. [[AllThereInTheManual According to the character page]], Angelo learned of her existence and, due to his dislike of ghosts, offered her an ultimatum: Be destroyed, or be resurrected and swear fealty to the Souballo Empire. She chose the latter.
* BadassNormal: Before she dies.
* CameBackStrong: Though ghosts have a couple of weaknesses, she gains some special powers and is harder to defeat outside of TurnUndead.
* ChaoticNeutral[[invoked]]: Being an unscrupulous thief.
* FogFeet: As a ghost.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: Jason does do something akin to an AlasPoorYorick speech about her, but other than that she's not mentioned afterword. It took [[CallBack 120 or so strips]], but she has come back.
* KilledOffForReal: Originally, but has come back as a [[OurGhostsAreDifferent ghost,]] 120 pages later.
* LoveableRogue: Jane is fairly charismatic and sociable, but still a thief.

'''Brian Souballo'''

->''"I'll go, but instead I will polymorph myself into HER instead! What a twist THAT would be!"''

Brian is the emperor of the Souballo Empire, and is married to Angelo. He was outside relaxing on a balcony of his castle when he saw a giant beacon of light that Julie released when she activated her pendant for the first time. Judging from his reaction he knows about the Magicant and probably the pendant keeper as well, and has informed his followers to find her.

* AffablyEvil: Is quite a bit more good-natured than his [[FauxAffablyEvil husband.]]
* TheArchmage: He causually uses the Shapechange spell, which is a level 9 spell in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. In the ruin Stratus story arc, he uses a Quickened Disintegrate spell, which is considered epic magic.
* BeardOfEvil: Brian is one of the two main antagonists of the story and he has a goatee.
* BenevolentBoss: He seems to care about his underlings more than the usual evil overlord, and is also fixated on professionality.
* BetterLivingThroughEvil: One of his plans is rounding up "choice people" to work for the empire. Brian attempts to invoke this trope on his old magic teacher Mr. Stratus, but fails.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's been hard to take seriously as a villain in the past, but the "ruin Thomas Stratus" arc shows him to be intelligent and not afraid to kill dozens of people with his magic.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With Angelo.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He may have chastised Angelo for [[DisproportionateRetribution destroying an underling]], but we learn that declining Brian's offers to join him result in lightning to the face.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: shows signs of this.
* DepravedHomosexual: Averted. The fact that he and Angelo are gay have absolutely nothing to do with their evilness.
* EmperorScientist: [[spoiler: Created a {{Magitek}} system of transforming/transferring [[OurSoulsAreDifferent Cosmic Lifestrand]] into clones created in laboratories.]]
* EvilOverlord: He is one of the two emperors of the Souballo Empire.
* FantasticRacism: He and Angelo don't like Dwarves and make fun of them, but are mortified when a dwarf within earshot catches them doing it.
* LargeHam: He certainly enjoys playing the part of the EvilOverlord.
* LawfulEvil[[invoked]]: His willingness to do unethical things such as kill and destroy are apparent, but runs his Empire with fairness and organization.

* TomTheDarkLord: Brian sure isn't a very scary name for an evil emperor.
* UnholyMatrimony: He is married to [[YaoiGuys Angelo.]]

'''Angelo Souballo'''

->''"If someone around here could make a decent drink, I wouldn't have to kill so many employees..."''

Angelo is the leader of "Angelo's Kids", a pseudo-religion of young adventurers who do his bidding and quest in his name. It is revealed that he works with Brian's Souballo Empire and is married to the emperor himself, making Angelo the "co-emperor". Angelo is more of a traditional evil overlord than his husband and isn't afraid to assert this fact.

* AmbidextrousSprite: One of the most obvious examples in the comic.
* BadBoss: What with the underling annihilation and all.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With Brian.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Much moreso than his husband, Brian. Angelo can turn the sweetness on and off like a light switch.
* TheArchmage: Destruction's a level 7 cleric spell in ''D&D'', but empowering it increases it to level 9. This guy's got power.
* CruelMercy: Angelo prevented [[spoiler:Eva's suicide, only because he had something more interesting in store for her. It seems to have to do with the framing of Thomas Stratus.]]
* DarkMessiah: His followers certainly believe he is a messiah figure.
* DemonHead: [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0236.html Angelo does one to Janice.]]
* DepravedHomosexual: Actually averted. The fact that he and Brian are gay have absolutely nothing to do with their evilness.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Totally annihilated an underling because she criticized Brian's meeting plan.
* EvilOverlord: One of the two emperors of the Souballo Empire.
* EvilRedHead: Angelo has "strawberry blonde" hair, and is quite evil.
* EvilSorcerer: Is shown to use high-level arcane magic.
* FashionableAsymmetry: His outfit has one boot longer than the other, one black glove with jewels on it, and one long sleeve and one short sleeve with his tunic.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Angelo's moments where he seems decent are mainly due to Brian suggesting him to be.
* HetIsEw: He's downright disgusted when Eva [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0262.html suggests that he might try to sexually assault her.]]
* HolyHalo: Subverted as Angelo's a pretty bad egg.
* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: Seemingly not played for laughs like with Peganone. Angelo's outfit is pretty out there.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Angelo may be one of the most conceited and distainful creatures in this story. He cares less about his underlings than his husband, Brian.
* KickTheDog: Most of his dealings with Eva.
* LawfulEvil[[invoked]]: We may be [[NeutralEvil stretching the lawful]] a bit, but he too shows organization and fairly careful planning.
* LightIsNotGood: Angelo is a cleric who wears mostly white, but seems totally insane.
* TheMagnificent: His followers call him "Our Beautiful Worship".
* ManipulativeBastard: And when his words fail, he'll use magic to make you see it his way.
* PathOfInspiration: The religion he created.
* TheRedMage: Angelo is stated to be a "Mystic Theurge", a ''D&D'' PrestigeClass allowing the simultaneous advance of both Cleric spells and (in Angelo's case) Sorcerer spells. This usually leads to a MasterOfNone situation, but Angelo seems to have overcome that through sheer experience and high levels.
* SmugSuper: Angelo is an epic spell-caster and is worshipped by his followers, but is quite smug.
* [[spoiler: UsedToBeASweetKid: A group of soldiers Julie's group encounter revealed that Angelo used to be a Cleric for [[LawfulGood Stellina, the Angel of Justice.]]]]

[[folder:Janice Jamison]]
[[quoteright:129:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Janice_7609.jpg]]
'''Janice Jamison'''

->''"Mind your own business, you little rodent!"''

Janice is the head of magical research in the empire. She is also tasked with being the military tactician and is researching on finding Julie. Her efforts have been unsuccessful so far.

* CoDragons: Just like Bruce, Sophia and Exillon.
* DeadpanSnarker: Not even Angelo chewing her out in some kind of [[OneWingedAngel evil, eldritch form]] phased her snark.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She is revealed to have a black dragon she adopted as her ''son'' and does have love for him.
* {{Evil Old Folk|s}}
* EvilutionaryBiologist: Before being forced to be the Empire's tactician, Brian taught her about magical science and she spent most of her time producing symbiote bonded humans in a [[MagiTek magical science lab.]]
* {{Foil}}: Comic's already showing hints of this between Sophia and Janice.
* InsufferableGenius: Angelo seems to hate this about her, too.
* LeanAndMean: Very much so. The website character info calls her "Janice the Annis".
* PerpetualFrowner: It's easy to see where all those wrinkles came from.
* PowerHair: Wears it short like one.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Likes the color purple a lot, and she is one of the most powerful wizards in the Souballo Empire.

* WickedWitch: Illustrated very clearly in [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0487.html this comic.]]
* YouDidntAsk: [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0236.html Very nicely done.]]

[[folder:Master Exillon]]
[[quoteright:157:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Exillon_9517.jpg]]
'''Master Exillon'''

->''"BEEP."''

Exillon is some kind of [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot glowing robotic crystal,]] and the token non-human part of this villain ensemble. Exillon's an [[AllThereInTheManual outside agent]] that's working in secret with the empire in exchange for some kind of reward. The only person who can understand what it says is Brian.

* CoDragons: Like Bruce, Sophia and Janice.
* CyberCyclops: It certainly looks robotic.
* EnigmaticMinion: Mainly because only Brian understands what it's saying.
* FacelessEye: Exillon doesn't have a face, only a robotic-looking central eye.
* PsychicPowers: Has a variety of psionic powers [[AllThereInTheManual according to the website.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: A central eye (or robotic sensor) where its face would be.
* SinisterGeometry: An elongated tetradecahedron accompanied by 10 smaller crystal-like things in various 2d geometric shapes.
* TheUnintelligible: Exillon speaks only in robotic sounding BEEPS, but [[TranslatorBuddy Brian can understand it.]]

[[folder:Soldiers of the Souballo Empire]]
'''Soldiers of the Souballo Empire'''

->''"Certain filthy Elves are gonna get what's coming to them in time."''

The [[TheEmpire Souballo Empire]] seems to be the main antagonist force in the comic. It is led by [[TheEmperor Brian Souballo]] and [[BigBadDuumvirate Angelo Souballo]], and its agenda includes making Manjulias a [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans better place to live]] for humans, and [[BetterLivingThroughEvil anyone who allies with them.]] This would be all well and good if it weren't for its [[ANaziByAnyOtherName tyranical tendencies]] and [[WorldDomination hostile approach.]] This section will cover tropes of the Souballo Empire as a whole and various minor members of the Souballo Empire have invoked.

* EliteMooks: Most all of the soldiers Julie's group has met so far have class levels and specialized training.
* FacelessMooks: Completely averted.
* FantasticRacism: Actively work against Elves due to idealogical differences.
* FantasyCharacterClasses: There are members of every character class except Bard (with the exception of Umbria) in the Empire.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: The Souballo Empire gives many other races this feeling.
* KnightTemplar: Most of the imperials are depicted this way.
* MagicKnight: [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0094.html Carissa]] went this route.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: At its worst, the empire's warlike nature and [[FantasticRacism genocidal attitude towards Elves]] somewhat resembles Nazi Germany.
* PunchClockVillain: Brian's attempts at professionalism and the way he treats his underlings suggest they probably get paid quite well. There are some nutters, but many of the imperials are depicted as normal people who are fighting for a world they were promised.
* PuttingOnTheReich: Most of the members of the Empire we've seen seem to genuinely believe in the Emperor's vision and willingly do what he commands. These soldiers range from the [[PsychoForHire nutjobs]] to [[MyCountryRightOrWrong seemingly reasonable people.]]
* WeAreEverywhere: WordOfGod stated the Empire is the most concentrated in the northern half of the main Manjulias continent, but agents of the empire have been seen as far away as the Baxillon Island.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: When it comes to making the world a better place for humans, anyway...

[[folder:Angelo's Kids]]
'''Angelo's Kids'''

->''"Defying our Beautiful Worship is a capital offense. Even those who aren't under the light of his halo know that."''

Angelo's Kids is a {{cult}} composed of young adventurer fanatics who idolize [[BigBadDuumvirate Angelo Souballo]] as a [[HighPriest holy man]], due to his powerful [[TheRedMage divine and arcane magic]]. They [[PathOfInspiration preach his dogma and enforce his will]], which often means destruction of any who won't submit to the "light of his halo". It's been revealed in the comic that Angelo's Kids is a faction of the Souballo Empire, but not all of Angelo's flock are aware of this. Even without official affiliation, the two organizations often work together due to having similar ideals. Angelo's kids are often more extreme in their methods than the Empire, and it's likely the Angelo's kids are used to perform certain things the Empire publicly won't.

* AllCrimesAreEqual: In regards to defying Angelo, as quoted above.
* BurnTheWitch: Often do this with heretics and other undesirables.
* {{Cosplay}}: In universe, with Angelo Souballo.
* CuteAndPsycho: Many of them look very good, and are very cheerful as well as nuts.
* FantasticRacism: A little ''less'' so than the Souballo Empire.
* FantasyCharacterClasses: Much like the Souballo Empire, including the lack of Bards.
* FashionableAsymmetry: The AK uniforms mimic Angelo's taste in attire, with one gloved hand, and one boot longer than another.
* {{Flanderization}}: In universe. Many of them emulate Angelo's mannerisms and flamboyance. Some of them even use a NoblewomansLaugh, despite Angelo himself never laughing like that once in the comic so far.
* LightIsNotGood: Some of the Angelo's Kids are Clerics (Angelo himself uses powerful divine magic) and channel positive energy.
* ObliviouslyEvil: Some may be aware that what they're doing is horrible, while others may just be thoughtlessly following orders.
* PathOfInspiration: They all follow the dogma of Angelo in a very hardcore manner.
* StepfordSmiler: With the nasty things they often have to do, it's hard to imagine them otherwise.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Much like the Souballo Empire.
* WeAreEverywhere: Perhaps even moreso than the Souballo Empire.

!Other Characters

[[folder:Thomas Stratus]]
[[quoteright:195:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/OldTimer-ola_6664.jpg]]
'''Thomas Stratus'''

->''" My apologies. I tend to zone out sometimes when dealing with really stupid people."''

Up until the second book, this wizard didn't have an official name in the comic, but he has crossed paths with Julie's gang more than once. He runs a scroll shop in Everwood, which was where the group met him. They met him again in Huckleton when they were buying ferry tickets to cross the ocean. Originally he seemed to be an unimportant character, but the second book's has him established as a fair bit higher up on importance.

* AllPowerfulBystander: The old timer is very powerful, but doesn't have much to do with Julie's group.
* AscendedExtra: While he was nothing more than a recurring character in the first book, he's arguably the main character of the [[TwoLinesNoWaiting B plot]] in the second book.
* BadassGrandpa: He reveals that he's higher-levelled than Rocky and Angelika combined, and that he's a great-grandfather.
* BrickJoke: After 300 pages, he finally [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0362.html wears]] his [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0053.html casual outfit]].
* CoolOldGuy
* DeadpanSnarker: Many of his lines are pretty decent.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: He learned about the Souballo's invasion plan, so the Emperor refines a plan to ruin Stratus' name in the city of invasion by commiting horrible crimes, disguised as Stratus.
* InsufferableGenius
* OldMaster: He is a high-level wizard, and has been revealed to be one of [[BigBad Brian Souballo's]] teachers.
* RecurringCharacter: He is one of the few non-player characters that Julie's group has dealt with more than once, and probably later on as well.
* RetiredBadass: He used to be a (presumably) magic teacher for TheEmperor before making/selling magic scrolls in Everwood.
* SquishyWizard
* TakenForGranite: Does this to Zaedalkaah as punishment for Zaedalkaah's failed assassination attempt.
* TrueNeutral[[invoked]]: His personality seems to be this. It's also hinted at when Brian extends the empire membership offer to him as someone "who would be cool...ish with the idea, alignment-wise." Even when Stratus delivers his YoureInsane speech to the emperor, Stratus seems to just phone it in somewhat.
* UnequalRites: He holds the traditional wizard's opinion that Sorcerers are inferior to Wizards.
* YoureInsane: Stratus does a half-hearted, snarky one of these to the Emperor before the Emperor attacks him.

[[folder:Eric Patterson]]
[[quoteright:240:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Patterson_3961.jpg]]
'''Eric Patterson'''

->''"Could you please, please, PLEASE un-quit and come back?"''

Patterson is Julie's former boss when she was working at The Wayside. He's a fairly understanding person, but he does seem not to have that many scruples and is less lawful than one would expect or hope. He eventually gets kidnapped by Brian due to his good barkeeping abilities... and because Angelo wanted a "Huckleton Heartthrob".

* BeleagueredAssistant: For Angelo, though downplayed as Patterson does say he has a lot of free time.
* BenevolentBoss: He doesn't hold it against Julie when she leaves, but he teeters between BenevolentBoss and StupidBoss.
* DeadpanSnarker: And strangely enough Angelo has minimal distain for it.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: In the beginning, not so much now due to CharacterDevelopment.
* GildedCage: When he's kidnapped by Brian to make drinks for him and Angelo, though now his job list has expanded a bit.
* HonestJohnsDealership: He treats The Wayside bar like this, and gets in trouble with health inspectors when Julie blabs about his various practices.
* OddFriendship: Developing a fairly nice one with Umbria.
* StupidBoss: Has shades of this, between his work practices and treatment of employees he doesn't like.
* TookALevelInBadass: Since being kidnapped by Angelo, Patterson took advantage of the free training and tutors and gained levels in Rogue. [[RPGMechanicsVerse Literally.]] He gained four of them according to his [[AllThereInTheManual character page.]]
* TrueNeutral[[invoked]]: The only way he could easily tolerate people ranging from the [[NeutralGood sweet and kind Julie]], to the [[NeutralEvil selfishly evil Umbria.]]

[[folder:Peganone Silkweed]]
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Peganone_387.jpg]]
'''Peganone Silkweed'''

->''"We're not judgin'... at least in the 'non chosen one' sense."''

Peganone is an elven woman, and a member of the Everwood Council. She is also one of the three judges in [[Series/AmericanIdol Everwood Idol]]. She is a wizard who seems to be specialized in Divination magic. She is the most cheerful of the three.

* ActualPacifist: Peganone gained her levels doing non-combat, governmental things. This is a bit of an issue for her since she has volunteered to hunt Umbria/Zaedalkaah down herself. Randi is going with her, though...
* ChaoticGood[[invoked]]: She's a nice person and uses her position in government to do good, but she's not especially organized and isn't handling the Umbria/Zaedalkaah situation very attentively.
* DeskJockey: As with part of the ActualPacifist thing.
* {{Expy}}: Peganone is probably based off Music/PaulaAbdul.
* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: Peganone does this on Julie to see if she is the chosen one.
* MagicMirror: Peganone uses one to do her scrying spells.
* TheMcCoy: While Randi is [[TheKirk practical]] and Simonicus is [[TheSpock distant.]]
* OurElvesAreBetter
* PowerTrio: With Randi and Simonicus. Peganone is probably Id, to match Paula Abdul's role in ''Series/AmericanIdol''.
* RainbowPimpGear: Peganone's [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0211.html adventuring outfit]] is ''really'' over the top. She comments about [[IWasQuiteAFashionVictim not using it for awhile]], which may explain it.
* SquishyWizard: The official website says she is.
* ThemeNaming: In keeping with this comic's tradition, Peganone is also the name of an anti-seizure medication.
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]

[[folder:Simonicus]]
[[quoteright:208:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Simonicus_9942.jpg]]
'''Simonicus'''

->''"Your distressingly low level is all the more reason to keep quiet about your mission."''

Simonicus is probably the leader of the Everwood Council, or it may be a triumverate thing. He is the most serious of the three, and is one of the judges in [[Series/AmericanIdol Everwood Idol.]] He is [[AllThereInTheManual another wizard,]] though we haven't seen him do any wizardly things in the comic yet.

* {{Expy}}: Simonicus is obviously based on Simon Cowell, from ''Series/AmericanIdol''.
* LawfulNeutral[[invoked]]: Even uses it as part of his snark.
* OurGnomesAreWeirder
* MeanBrit: Though in a fantasy setting.
* PowerTrio: As with ''Series/AmericanIdol'', Superego.
* TheSpock: While Randi is [[TheKirk practical]] and Pegaone is [[TheMcCoy emotional.]]
* SquishyWizard: As stated in the website.

[[folder:Randi Goldenaxe]]

'''Randi Goldenaxe'''

->''"Call me crazy, but it might be a bit of a step backwards in the world savin', girl."''

Randi is the third member of the Everwood Council. Unlike Simonicus and Peganone, Randi isn't a Wizard, but a [[AllThereInTheManual Cleric with a level of Fighter.]] Randi is also the [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready third judge in Everwood Idol.]] Randi told Julie that he would be checking in on her every so often, but we haven't seen him do that yet.

* BladeOnAStick: Randi wields a halberd.
* CovertPervert: He wanted a hug from Julie and got a nice feel of her nicely toned butt. He is a [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame dwarf]] so his shortness allows for him to easily/innocently do this. Julie wasn't fooled.
* {{Expy}}: Randi is based on Randy Jackson of ''Series/AmericanIdol''.
* FriendsWithBenefits: With Merla, casually revealed by her [=PsiCrystal=].
* TheKirk: While Peganone is [[TheMcCoy emotional]] and Simonicus is [[TheSpock distant]].
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Though Randi combines this with SoulBrotha.
* PowerTrio: With Peganone and Simon. Randi is the Ego.
* SoulBrotha: A weird fantasy version of this.

[[folder:Merla Undercobble]]
[[quoteright:180:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Merla_5831.jpg]]
'''Merla Undercobble'''

->''"What's the point in giving a [=PsiCrystal=] an interesting name if it never comes when you call it?"''

In Llanadario, Merla was the one who psionically called out to Julie so they could talk. Merla turned out to be a member of the Everwood Council's network, helping Julie on her quest.

* CharactersAsDevice: The whole tower scene seemed more to do with talking about Julie and Angelika's past than revealing present information. Randi even mutters complaints about this.
* CutesyDwarf: Though she doesn't have dwarven features. She looks like an adult human, shrunken down.
* FairyCompanion: Merla has a [=PsiCrystal=] named "Crystal" but this trope is subverted. Crystal is snarky and rarely helps her.
* FriendsWithBenefits: With Randi, it seems.
* {{Hobbits}}: Not called that in the webcomic for obvious reasons, but Merla's the first important Halfling character in the story.
* KindheartedCatLover: Merla has several pet cats, who all love pesturing Norveg and Angelika.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Looked pretty much the same age almost 20 years ago when working with Theodore and Rosa Magilligan.
* PsychicPowers: Merla is a powerful psionic.
* TeleporterAccident: When attempting to teleport psionically to Everwood, she slams into one of her cats. The way she looks [[VideoGame/EarthBound when she does it]] might be [[ShoutOut familiar to some.]]
* VoiceOfTheLegion: When Merla speaks telepathically to someone, the voice heard in the mind is [[HellIsThatNoise monsterous]] and [[BrownNote horrible.]]

[[folder:Eva Wilson]]
[[quoteright:153:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Eva-Wilson_9118.jpg]]
'''Eva Wilson'''

->''"You're wanted in Everwood for crimes against life! That's pretty cut and dry if you ask me!"''

Eva Wilson is a Paladin for Stellina, the Angel of Justice [[AllThereInTheManual (the main Lawful Good deity for Manjulias)]]. She has takes on on the quest of hunting Zaedalkaah down and bringing her to justice. This sentence is of course, death. Eva Wilson's quite the straight arrow, and isn't interested in the reward offered for Zaedalkaah's capture other than to donate it to charity.

* ActionGirl: Easily defeated Zaedalkaah/Umbria when they actually fought (which consisted of a painful horse kick, Zaedalkaah/Umbria attempting to paralyze Eva and failing).
* AndImustScream: [[spoiler: Eva was [[CruelandUnusualDeath crushed into a bloody cube]] via [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Implosion]] spell. Her soul was then bound to a jewel so she could never get to the heaven that she thought she would go.]]
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Averted. [[spoiler:when she loses the battle against Angelo, Eva attempts to commit {{Seppuku}} to avoid a worse fate. This fails, and how she's under his mental control.]]
* {{Brainwashed}}: [[spoiler:What Angelo did to her after preventing her suicide attempt.]]
* TheComicallySerious: Eva Wilson has never been seen as anything other than deadly serious so far.
* TheDeterminator: Successfully resists Angelo's first attempt to [[CharmPerson magically sway her]] to like him. The way Angelo looked when she successfully resisted his magic was [[CrowningMomentofAwesome awesome.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: Eva is good, but all work and no play. Umbria/Zaedalkaah even referred to her as [[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick Miko]] [[ShoutOut Miyazaki.]]
* KnightErrant: She swears fealty to Stellina, but doesn't seem to belong to a specific church.
* KnightInSourArmor: She complains of being a Paladin sometimes, due to her strict adherance to law and her personal code.
* LawfulGood[[invoked]]: Played pretty straight, almost to the point of LawfulStupid.
* LeeroyJenkins: [[spoiler:When Angelo appeared and took Umbria/Zaedalkah, Eva pretty boldly called him out on his evil deeds and attacked him, despite Peganone insisting Eva to stand down. The next part did not go well for any of them.]]
* OddCouple: Her partner is her horse, though Charismatic Seaweed is ''quite a bit'' less lawful than she is.
* {{Paladin}}
* [[SoulBrotha Soul Sista]]: Averted.
* TheyFightCrime: Eva and her fully sentient horse, [[UnfortunateName Charismatic Seaweed.]]
* [[spoiler:TragicHero: Her TragicFlaw was inflexability in her ethics and alignment and her TragicMistake was not backing down even when Angelo gave her the chance to.]]

[[folder:Terramycin Shadowleaf]]
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Terramycin_540.jpg]]
'''Terramycin Shadowleaf'''

->''"Living out of your backpack, kicking the Empire's ass... I'm so jealous."''

Terramycin is an Elf girl that Julie's group met in a small town they passed through. She doesn't appear to like humans very much, and has strong and hateful feelings toward the Souballo Empire. She also has a son named Daytranna who runs a curiousity shop in the same town. There is more to her and her son than meets the eye.

* ActionGirl: She turns out to be a mid-level rogue and shows off her skills in a battle in the town.
* ActionMom: Fights alongside her son against the Angelo's Kids who attack the town. She and her son [[CurbstompBattle stomp them flat.]]
* BadassNormal: She activated a scroll of greater invisibility but has no magic of her own, being a rogue.
* FantasticRacism: Terramycin doesn't like humans very much, especially those from the Souballo Empire.
* LoveableRogue: She's a fairly charming girl once you get to know her.
* HeroicNeutral: Expressed an interest in Julie's adventuring but turns out to be more interested in protecting her hometown.
* ItsPersonal: Terramycin and Daytranna slay an entire group of Angelo Kids because they murdered a gnome friend of theirs.
* OurElvesAreBetter: She also explains how Elves get their [[TechnicolorEyes technicolor]] [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair features.]]
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Not quite seven hundred, but she says she's 245 years old, and oddly enough looks younger than her son.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Played with. She's not evil, but she's a force to be reckoned with.
* ReluctantWarrior: After her and Daytranna's part of the battle was over, she openly states that [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0305.html she hates fighting.]]

[[folder:Daytranna Shadowleaf]]
[[quoteright:318:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Daytranna_4209.jpg]]
'''Daytranna Shadowleaf'''

->''"It's better to be lucky than good."''

Daytranna is an absentminded Elven man who runs a curiousity shop in a small town Julie and her friends visited. Angelika first visited the store in hopes of getting a new tent, and first had the pleasure of meeting the [[RapunzelHair super long haired]] man. His Mother is Terramycin, and she helps run the inn in the town. Like his mom, there is more to him than meets the eye.

* AbsentMindedProfessor: Not a professor, but a very disorganized wizard who owns a curiousity shop. He ''knew'' there was a tent in his store for Angelika, but it took him 19 minutes to find it.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The side he showed Angelika was quaint and lovably unfocused. The side he showed the Angelo's Kids was [[LetsGetDangerous a lot less so.]]
* FantasticRacism: Has a fair bit less bile than his mom, but it's still there.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Many wouldn't know he was a capable magician just by looking at him or talking to him.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Odd elven example in that even though Daytranna is Terramycin's son, he looks older than her.
* OurElvesAreBetter: Daytranna's features are late fall/early winter as Terramycin explained.
* RapunzelHair: And various objects get trapped in it, such as ''caltrops''. These caltrops even [[ChekhovsGun came in handy]] when fleeing an Angelo's Kids commander.
* SquishyWizard: And the first one not to use [[BlackMage fireballs and lightning bolts]] as their main way to fight. Due to being a Transmuter, he specializes in magic that can make him less squishy and more combat-oriented if need be.
* SummonMagic: Summons creatures to fight for him with his magic, due to not being able to use evocation magic.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Apparently a sign that he was a late fall/early winter Elf, and he's a wizard which fufills the whole supernatural prerequisite thing.

[[folder:Coumadin the Temple Warden]]

'''Coumadin the Temple Warden'''

->''"Originality's overrated anyway. As long as it's fun, it can be as memorable and good as any established idea."''

Coumadin is the caretaker for the temple of the First Magicant piece. He is a Cleric who can channel negitive energy and has three Wraith coworkers who he hangs around with. He introduced himself into the story by challenging Julie's group and with his Wraith friends managed to defeat Julie's group, forcing them to flee and regroup.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He and his group successfully routed Julie's.
* BargainWithHeaven or DealWithTheDevil: He created two contracts with the denizens of Zebro for assistance in the ''real'' battle with Julie's group.
* BlackMagic: Most of his magic revolves around negitive energy.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Even The Palm Tree Ghost thinks he's a nut, but he's very good at strategy and guarding the temple.
* ChaoticNeutral[[invoked]]: Serves The Lady of Fate and Fortune, who is a chaotic demigoddess.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Coumadin's creepy and kind of a nut-job, but he's not malicious and [[spoiler:kept the Wraiths from killing Angelika.]]
* FieryRedhead: Subverted. He's quite laid back.
* FriendlessBackground: His only friends are Undead monsters and sometime Zebroan Outsiders he pays to be his wingmen.
* TheNecromancer: Unlike normal Clerics, he has the ability to command undead and has spells that can create and assist them.
* NoSocialSkills: His only friends are undead monsters, and he greeted Julie and her friends by attacking them.
* OurElvesAreBetter: And his name is [[ThemeNaming Coumadin]].
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Coumadin has divine magical powers which come from [[TricksterGod The Lady of Fate and Fortune.]] Like the goddess he serves, he is also a wild card and a bit of a trickster.

'''Julie Magilligan'''

->''"The power of friendship cures light wounds!"''

Julie is the protagonist of the story. The story begins with Julie working as a waitress for a bar in Huckleton called "The Wayside". Then one night, she gets a prophetic dream from a powerful shrouded figure she affectionately calls "The Palm Tree Ghost". The figure explains to her that she will save the world by getting the pendant and collecting the broken magicant pieces. How she will save the world with them will probably have to do with battling the Souballo Empire and using the Magicant's power to fix other problems.

* BrainyBrunette: Though sunnier than normal brainy brunettes. Revealed to be subverted when the Palm Tree Ghost suggests to Julie to [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0134.html go back to being a blonde]].
* BigBrotherWorship: Julie and Alfred are shown to have a great relationship.
* CharacterDevelopment: As the story progresses, Julie becomes a bit less uptight and less foolishly idealistic.
* CheerfulChild: Just [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0248.html look at Julie]] while she's getting a piggyback from her brother.
* TheChosenOne: Played with. Julie is the third person the [[TricksterGod Palm Tree Ghost]] sent on this mission.
* CoolBigSis: As subverted as you can get with Angelika.
* ExpoSpeak: Almost compulsively in the beginning. Even in universe those around her are annoyed with it.

* HappilyMarried: To Lenny, the group's fighter.
* TheHeart: Usually is the kindest and most altruistic member of the group. This also makes her TheHero.

* TheMedic: Up until Jordie joined, she was the only member of the group with healing magic.
* MissingMom: As Angelika explained, their mother died when Angelika was a baby and when Julie was a child.
* NeutralGood[[invoked]]: Though the others think she's a bit [[LawfulGood too uptight]] to be simply neutral good.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Thanks to Julie, Umbria/Zaedalkaah has been freed.
* ThePollyanna: Julie's happy-go-lucky most of the time, but she has some emotional baggage.
* QuirkyBard: Her character class is Bard. Averted in that she is the most sensible of the group, mostly.
* ReluctantWarrior: She doesn't like fighting nearly as much as the others, and hates killing humanoid creatures.
* SiblingYinYang: Julie is the sober, responsible half.
* SickeninglySweethearts: Invoked and played for laughs during a date she had with Lenny in Autumnson.
* StandardizedLeader: Averted. She has changed and developed as much as the rest of her team during the 350+ pages of comic.
* TalkingInYourDreams: She gets advice about the quest that way
* TeamMom: The comic is invoking this as it progresses, especially when she's dealing with Angelika.

[[quoteright:170:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Angelika_2404.jpg]]
'''Angelika Magilligan'''

->''"I just USE the spells. I don't know anything about them!"''

Angelika is Julie's fifteen-year-old sister. She bumps into Julie right after Julie quits her job at the bar and decides to join up with the quest. Angelika doesn't seem to care too much about Julie's mission and is only in it for the gold and to help keep her big sister safe. Angelika is very different from her sister, in both personality and the skills she uses.

* BareYourMidriff: She wore a magic chain shirt that didn't for awhile. When she gets her [[PaintItBlack new costume]] from her cloak of Charisma, she loses the midriff.
* BlackMage: To compliment Julie's friendlier type of magic.
* BlackMagicianGirl: Has the personality and powerful offensive magic.
* BladeOnAStick: Angelika's weapon of choice is a spear, though she had a [[EpicFlail Morningstar]] for awhile.
* BookDumb: It's revealed Angelika doesn't know much of anything of the spells she uses.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: The comic isn't a DomCom but all the bratty self-centered traits are there. She also has nothing but contempt for her father.
* CharacterDevelopment: She's getting a bit less self-centered and rude as the story progresses. She's also warming up to Emily, though this may be due to [[FireForgedFriends coming through for her in combat]] and bonding over mutual disdain for Rocky.
* ChaoticNeutral: [[spoiler: ultimately confirmed when we see her in the afterlife]] [[invoked]]
* TheChick: Subverted.
* CuteWitch
* DeadpanSnarker: Duels with Rocky for this title.
* DoNotCallMePaul: If you call her Angie, she'll cut your hair off and force-feed it to you.
* EpicFlail: Angelika briefly used a magic morningstar she won in a combat, then switched back to a magic spear. In the Magicant Temple she loses that spear, and is now using another morningstar she found in a chest.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Averted as Angelika isn't evil and doesn't become evil with the costume switch, but Norveg lampshades this trope.
* FanservicePack: Zigzagged. Angelika's first outfit showed a lot of skin, but her second one was more conservative and dark, the third one has her in a skimpy rat costume that looks a lot like [[SoulEater Mizune's teen form.]]
* GirlishPigtails: And she holds them in place with ''tiny skulls.'' She loses them when she gets her costume change.
* HatesBeingTouched: Jordie [[TheGlomp hugs her]] and she states this to him.
* IceQueen: Uses snarkiness and humor to keep others at a distance.
* InformedAttractiveness: Angelika is supposed to be very, very attractive but this drawing style [[GenericCuteness doesn't really show it.]]
* IrrationalHatred: For Emily when Angelika first met her, and much later when Emily joins the team. It may be due to Emily being a [[UnequalRites wizard]], or it may be due to Rocky [[GreenEyedMonster really liking Emily.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: One of the reasons she annoys those around her.
* {{Jerkass}}: She's a bit of a pain in the butt, especially in Book 1.
* MissingMom: Angelika never knew her mother as she died when Angelika was a baby.
* NotThatKindOfMage: She's a sorcerer, not a wizard.
* PaintItBlack: Subverted and spoofed. When she put on a Cloak of Charisma she gets a DarkerAndEdgier costume like this.
* PeekABangs: Her new darker look has this.
* ShortTank: Very much so.
* SiblingYinYang: The wild, irresponsible half.
* SkewedPriorities: She doesn't show much anger toward Coumadin and his wraiths for nearly killing her, until she finds out he looted her gear.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A.
* UnkemptBeauty: Angelika isn't too shaken up about not bathing if it can't be helped.
* YoungestChildWins: Played with. Angelika has powers of her own, but Julie is the big heroine of the story.

[[caption-width-right:215:[-Outsmarted by a rodent.-] ]]
'''Norveg'''

->''"You'll never get very far if you behave like a simpleton and never listen to reason."''

Norveg is Angelika's new rat familiar. Despite numerous references, no-one will tell him what happened to her [[NoodleIncident previous familiar]]. The rat and the blonde girl met in huckleton and have decided to travel together since then.

* BalloonBelly: After binge eating.
* {{Familiar}}: For Angelika.
* HeadPet: Angelika hates this too, but Norveg usually does it to escape from things that want to eat him.
* LetsGetDangerous: [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0230.html When Angelika give him a touch spell.]] Norveg being all badass is also [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch quite]] [[BadassAdorable cute.]]
* MeaningfulName: Norveg is probably a play on ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fancy_rat Rattus Norvegicus]]'' which is the latin name for a Fancy Rat.
* MoralityPet: Subverted initially as Angelika starts off mean to him. Played straight as the comic progresses.
* NonHumanSidekick: For Angelika. He is Angelika's familiar, and also a {{Foil}} for her.
* ParrotPetPosition: In the beginning, but for a while Angelika had a baby snuggly to keep him in. Other times he's [[HeadPet on her head.]]
* [[StraightMan Straight Rat]]: Often has this role, usually for Angelika.
* TalkingAnimal: In ''D&D'', the master and familiar have their own special language, but in the comic, Norveg can talk to any human.
* TeamPet: Seems to have this role.
* TrueNeutral[[invoked]]: Norveg's a lot less chaotic than [[ChaoticNeutral Angelika.]]

[[folder:Lenny Magilligan]]
[[quoteright:152:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lenny_3340.jpg]]
'''Lenny Magilligan'''

->''"It figures some random bad guy knows more about this quest than we do..."''

Lenny is Julie's husband, and for those who don't know, he took ''her'' last name. He has been dragged into the adventure by his idealistic but silly wife, but he doesn't mind too much. He originally worked as a mercenary and as job from his guild and he met Julie by guarding her carriage. The two fell in love and eventually wed, though details on their story are still fuzzy. In the group, he is a fighter and is the group's meat shield and skullbasher now.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Much darker-skinned humans than Lenny have been seen. [[ShoutOut Medlii the harpy]] commented on his caramel appearance when she fought the group. Lenny even got angry with her when he heard her singing a Confederate anthem.
* BadassNormal: He's got no magic powers, only kickass fighting skills.
* BaldBlackLeaderGuy: Subverted. His wife is the leader of this group.
* BigFancySword: His weapon of choice is a Bastard Sword.
* BiTheWay: There are more and more hints of it as the story goes on.
* BoisterousBruiser: Subverted. He's actually quite calm and laid back, to the point of being a bit passive.
* CharacterDevelopment: Since [[spoiler:Pauline's death]], Lenny's been in the spotlight a bit more and has not only had more jokes to deliver, but has had some chance to grow a bit ballsier.
* ChekhovsSkill: More than once he's shown off his knowledge of rocks and minerals.
* CloserToEarth: Usually quite rational and sensible compared to his idealistic wife.
* GentleGiant: The strongest member of the group physically, but very laid back and gentle when not battling enemies.
* HappilyMarried: To Julie, the group's bard and leader.
* HenpeckedHusband: He frequently bows to Julie's wishes.
* NiceGuy: He's laid back, soft and unassuming.
* SatelliteCharacter: For Julie in Book 1. He develops more during Book 2.
* StraightMan: Has few jokes himself, but often sets up other group member's funny moments.
* TrueNeutral[[invoked]]: In book 1. Word of God stated he has become NeutralGood as of getting to [[CharacterLevel Level 7.]]

[[folder:Rocky Jones]]
[[quoteright:181:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Rocky01_1915.jpg]]
'''Rocky Jones'''

->''"I'm gonna sell the swag. Don't worry, I won't steal ALL of it..."''

Rocky's a sullen, unpleasant red haired teenage boy. He is also the group's rogue, specializing in picking the locks, disarming the traps, and shanking dumbass opponents from behind. Originally he worked for his father's flower shop, but got into trouble with the law over his flower selling techniques. While on the road somewhere along the line he met Angelika. The two decided to work together conning people out of their money and shiny possessions. While on their travels they met Julie and Lenny right outside of The Wayside, and now the four work together. Rocky may or may not regret this decision.

* AntiHero: Rocky's not above using indecent tactics to achieve a decent goal.
* BackStab: Rocky's sneak attacks can be pretty damaging.
* BadassNormal: No magic powers, just underhanded (but effective) fighting skills.
* CombatPragmatist: Rocky is a rogue after all. He uses all sorts of "dirty tactics" when fighting.
* CrazyPrepared: Ever since getting his [[BagOfHolding magical handysack,]] he seems to like stuffing it full of inexpensive but useful items.
* CrushBlush: Emily produces this in him.
* DeadpanSnarker: Competes with Angelika for the title.
* HollywoodNerd: If he was drawn more realistically, he'd probably look like this. Here's a [[http://rogonandi.deviantart.com/gallery/25652039?offset=96#/d1p4z0v picture]], judge for yourself.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's not as bad as Angelika, in fact Rocky's not such a bad guy once you get to know him.
* KnifeNut: Though he actually wields a shortsword. He does use throwing daggers for some of his sneak attacks.
* PerpetualFrowner: Rocky hardly ever smiles, and when he does it's usually a [[PsychoticSmirk smirk]] of some kind.
* RealMenWearPink: His father owns a flower store and Rocky did help with it, including making flower arrangements.
* RedHeadedStepchild: Though he isn't a stepchild, he does catch some flak over his red hair, especially from Angelika.
* SourSupporter: He's cranky yes, but he usually gives Julie and the group his best.
* TheSmartGuy: Since Lenny's moved into [[TheLancer Lancer territory]] in the group.
* TrueNeutral[[invoked]]: Also the least fettered of the group, though Emily's also pretty unfettered.

[[folder:Pauline Mikado]]
[[quoteright:153:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Pauline_8426.jpg]]
'''Pauline Mikado'''

->''"Less talky more stabby, guys!"''

Pauline is a barbarian, a melee fighter that relies on rage, passion and two-handed weapons to win battles. The group met her in a small town on their way from Huckleton to Everwood, after defeating her underlings in a bar fight. They also defeated her in combat the next day and she decided to join them on their quest. Pauline may be a girl but she's practically one of the guys and has some pretty nasty hygiene problems to boot.

* ActionGirl: Moreso than Angelika or Julie. Pauline actually likes to fight melee.
* ActionMom: Played with. She didn't become action-oriented until [[spoiler:after her husband and son were killed.]]
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Maybe an Asian-esque character. She's got black hair, brownish skin, and her last name is Mikado (which is Japanese, though Manjulias is not Earth).
* AnAxeToGrind: Pauline's weapon of choice is a greataxe.
* BadassNormal: No magic, just axe combat and raging.
* TheBigGirl: Type 4 or maybe type 1.
* BoisterousBruiser: Played fairly straight, contrasting Lenny.
* ChaoticGood[[invoked]]: Pauline hates lawful things, but is more ethical than [[ChaoticNeutral Angelika.]]
* DefeatMeansFriendship: When Pauline was beaten by Julie and her group, Pauline joined the adventure.
* [[spoiler:DiedHappilyEverAfter]]: [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0192.html Deduced.]] [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0200.html Then confirmed.]]
* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile: Because she has a dead son and husband to meet again now that she too has passed on.]]
* IWasQuiteTheLooker: When Pauline talks about her past, it's revealed she used to "wear a dress and everything". [[spoiler:[[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0200.html And she opted for it again in the afterlife.]]]]
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: When she dies from the Minotaur she told Julie not to raise her.]]
* TheLadette: Obviously. She's boisterous, often gets drunk in taverns and is pals with a group of warriors in the town Julie and friends found her in.
* LethalChef: Pauline's cooking is terrible, as you can see with the picture above.
* ThePigPen: She's pretty nasty in the hygiene department. She invoked it later in her life. She was originally a GirlyGirl before [[spoiler:her husband and son were killed.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: As the [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0142.html story of her past]] will tell.

[[folder:Emily Wellis]]

'''Emily Wellis'''

->''"Fortunately I learned how to make magic arms and armor that DON'T scream obscenities at their wielders."''

Emily is a pleasant [[BitchInSheepsClothing (appearing)]] but reserved wizard who has joined the group when they were in Llanadario. Emily was a magic student from Everwood, but is now on the road to learn about magic and document [[IrrelevantSideQuest various different types of fungus.]]

* [[spoiler:ArtificialHuman: It has been implied that she was originally part of a project by Angelo to artificially mass produce an army of {{Super Soldier}}s, each bonded with a PuppeteerParasite.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:Surprisingly [[FantasticRacism racist against Elves]],]] and can be downright sullen and snarky when she wants to be.
* BrainyBrunette: Played straight. As her [[AllThereInTheManual character sheet]] will tell, she has the highest INT score and she's helped the group with some decent combat tactics in some of the enemy encounter they've had.
* CuteWitch: She's pretty attractive and is seen cleaned up nicely during her and Rocky's date. Part of her low-ish charisma comes from being somewhat reserved.
* EarlybirdCameo: Introduced 200 pages earlier in the comic, [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0052.html way back]] when Julie's group was in Everwood.
* [[spoiler:EvilAllAlong: Seemingly. Though she turns out to have actually been a MeatPuppet]].
* [[spoiler:FantasticRacism:]] Not to the same extent as the Souballo Empire, [[spoiler:but she doesn't think very highly of Elves, referring to them as tree-dwelling baboons.]]
* {{Foil}}: For Angelika, but Emily's shown not to want to participate in that.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Angelika hates her because she's jealous of her relationship with Rocky, Julie doesn't trust her because she caught Emily spying on her, and thanks to her low charisma, Emily never really bonds with Lennie or Jordie. The only member of the party to really like her is Rocky. As a result, [[spoiler:most of them get over her apparent betrayal and death pretty quickly]].
* HollywoodNerd: She looks [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0254.html pretty fine]] in her Everwood Magic School uniform.
* [[spoiler:HumanoidAbomination: Specifically referred to as one after the parasite inside of her takes full control and reveals its own form.]]
* AnIcePerson: She states that she really likes ice spells while [[KillItWithIce freezing four Kobolds to death.]]
* ItemCrafting: Emily has the ability to enchant weapons and armor.
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: She gets killed off by a PuppeteerParasite and the parasite gets killed by one of the magicant's guardians. Seeing little difference between her and the treacherous parasite, Julie's party doesn't bother making any effort to raise her.]]
* [[spoiler:MeatPuppet: Turns out she was infected and controlled by some manner of PuppeteerParasite loyal to one member of the BigBadDuumvirate. She gets killed when it takes full control]].
* MegaNekko: She has much of the trope's personality traits. Glasses are also fairly rare in this world, making her stand out.
* NerdGlasses: She is a nerdy witch, and has glasses.
* NoodleIncident: She would not go into detail about why the school sent her on this strange fungus mission.
* TheQuietOne: She's had a few jokes, but she's even quieter than Lenny in this regard.
* RealDreamsAreWeirder: She contrasts hers to Jordie's TalkingInYourDreams.
* ScaryShinyGlasses: Invoked sometimes when attacking something with magic or when she's about to do something questionable.
* ShrinkingViolet: Subverted. The group's first impression was this, but Emily's reveals herself merely to be mild-mannered and somewhat aloof.
* SixthRanger: Technically the fifth, due to the [[spoiler:original fifth member being killed.]]
* [[spoiler:SixthRangerTraitor: Courtesy of a PuppeteerParasite.]]
* SquishyWizard: Emily is a wizard and has less constition than Angelika.
* TheStoic: Emily isn't very emotional, and seems much [[TheUnfettered less fettered]] than other group members.
* [[spoiler:TransformationOfThePossessed: When the parasite inside of her takes full control and kills her, her body is warped into a HumanoidAbomination]].
* WizardingSchool: Emily was training at the Everwood Magical University.

[[quoteright:188:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Jordie_589.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:188:[-Loves giving hugs.-] ]]
'''Jordie Kent'''

->''"I'm supposed to go with you on your journey!"''

Jordie Kent is a Cleric who found Julie via divination magic. Apparently it is destiny that bound him to her, though Julie and the others seem a bit skeptical about it. Julie met him in Autumnson while she was at a temple gathering info on an Erinyes that attacked her. It was originally after Jordie, apparently.

* BecauseDestinySaysSo: His supposed reason for seeking Julie out and joining her.
* CuddleBug: Seems to love hugging people; some react to it less happily than others.
* FanNickname: [[http://www.danielscreations.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?m-1345066616/ "Brother Bad Touch"]]
* GenreBlindness: Justified as he has had no experience doing the adventuring thing. It's often lampshaded by the other group members, though.
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Jordie is a Cleric and wears said colors.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Made good on his threat of cramming Holy Smite [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0354.html down the throats of evildoers.]] Double as a TalkToTheFist.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He's sweet, kind, doesn't like violence, and is the most innocent group member who has joined with Julie.
* HeartBeatdown: What his Holy Smite spell takes the form of.
* HolyHandGrenade: Jordie wields Holy Smite, an attack spell using the power of good.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: And it's gold as the sun.
* TheMedic: One of the main jobs of a cleric.
* NonActionGuy: He's good at divine magic, but he's terrible at actual fighting, [[TechnicalPacifist if you can even get him to.]]
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: And Angelika calls him on it.
* ShelteredAristocrat: His gear was paid for by his parents, and from what he said it doesn't sound like they would approve of his being called to adventure.
* TalkingInYourDreams: Mom tracks him down this way.
* TechnicalPacifist: Got his character levels doing non-combat Cleric things and has stated to be non-violent. This doesn't extend to the Undead or Evil Outsiders.

[[quoteright:123:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Umbria-ola_2672.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:123:[-You can trust her.-] ]]
'''Umbria/Zaedalkaah'''

->''"I'm as innocent as a child with a fresh, delicious heart."''

Umbria/Zaedalkaah is a secondary antagonist in the comic. She has had quite a bit of screen time, and has had many adventures on her quest to get her old body (and character classes?) back. Her quest is basically the [[TwoLinesNoWaiting B Plot]] of the entire comic.

* BackFromTheDead: Zaedalkaah's rebirth took the form of whatever revived him. Since it was Julie's form, he may also qualify as a GenderBender.
* BadassTeacher: When conventionally teaching her non-bard orchestra wasn't working so well, she opted to take them to Mr. Moriatos' practice dungeon for real combat/dungeon experience. She has helped twelve of her students gain their first bard level so far.
* BetaTestBaddie: Umbria was initially on a quest to regain her power and her true form, which this [[GenderBender female]] [[QuirkyBard bardic form]] isn't. Her former employers however, refuse to take her back due to her weakened state. She ultimately ends up stuck in the Souballo Empire, albeit with a high ranking position, and seems to have dropped this for now, though she is still trying to increase her influence.
* CardCarryingVillain: She's evil and knows it.
* CombatPragmatist: This combined with luck is how she's survived so long on her own.
* ConsummateLiar: Subverted somewhat. She ''thinks'' she's a great liar, but her lying isn't that great, and Jason and Trevoricus caught on and eventually kicked her out of the group.
* CoolTeacher: Many of her students seem to think this... when she's not being [[SadistTeacher really mean]] to them.
* DarkActionGirl: Quite excellent in combat, and evil.
* DeadpanSnarker: Definitely has her moments, and finding out Angelo's Kids is part of TheEmpire was probably the [[CrowningMomentOfFunny best one.]]
* DePower: Zaedalkaah's reincarnation required her to take Julie's class and levels, making her a Level 3 bard in the beginning. We see that her previous incarnation was stronger than this, to the point of being a famous assassin in the Brotherhood. The guild no longer wants her now that she's weak, so her main goal is to reclaim her lost power.
* EvilTwin: To Julie.
* EyeScream: She seems to like stabbing people in the eye with her Rapier.
* FanservicePack: Inverted just like with Angelika and Julie. Umbria gets a costume change starting from [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0350.html comic #350 onward]] which no longer shows off her legs.
* GenderBender: Umbria was originally a male, fiend touched being named Zaedalkaah, but was forced to reincarnate as an EvilTwin of the person who released him from his prison, Julie. She initially tries to recover her old body and class by requesting the help of the organization she once belonged to, [[FirstLawOfGenderBending but ends up thwarted and sidetracked]]. She takes her present form in stride, and [[SecondLawOfGenderBending finds Julie's good looks useful]] for manipulating people. For the time being at least, she has more or less settled for remaining this way.
* GildedCage: She was taken to Souballo HQ and, though in luxury, was forced to produce an anthem for the Souballo Empire.
* GoodColorsEvilColors: Umbria's character design is an "evil palette swap" of Julie's design. She lampshades this when talking to two evangelists of Angelo's Kids.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Umbria is extremely conceited and self-centered, using people around her at any opportunity to get ahead.
* {{Jerkass}}: During her travels with Trevoricus and Jason, she treats them like crap. When she gets voluntered to create the Souballo Empire's anthem, she treats her assigned orchestra like crap.
* MagicMusic: A much [[IncrediblyLamePun darker reprise]] to Julie's powers.
* ManipulativeBitch: She has used Jason's (and Trevoricus' to a lesser extent) attraction to her as well as their greed to get them to do whatever she wants. They wised up and tossed her out of the group.
* MusicalAssassin: Though in her past life, he was [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0175.html more traditional.]]
* NeutralEvil[[invoked]]: Doesn't have any bias for or against law, but is clearly evil.
* NonLethalKO: Thanks to a bungled move silently check, the [[RecurringCharacter Scroll Shop Wizard]] heard Zaedalkaah coming and promptly foiled the assassination by [[TakenForGranite petrifying him.]]
* PsychoticSmirk: Likes doing these a lot.
* PuttingOnTheReich: Starting with [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0350.html comic #350]] she seems to have embraced the dress code of TheEmpire.
* QuirkyBard: Albeit evil...
* RoyalRapier: Her weapon of choice.
* [[SealedEvilInACan Sealed Evil in a Wand]]: Until Julie [[NiceJobBreakingItHero accidentally released it]].
* SmugSnake: Anyone not more powerful than her she tends to treat like crap... and she's even snuck a few snide remarks at the more powerful people around her. She's shown to be very conceited and overconfident, even though most of her successes were due to dumb luck.
* TerribleTrio: With Trevoricus and Jason, until they [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0180.html kicked her out.]] But then Angelo forces them, along with Jane, to work together again for his own amusement.
* TheUnfettered: Umbria seems to be willing to do whatever it takes to reclaim her old power. She manipulates and lies to people, kills them, and has joined Angelo's Kids not because she believes in their dogma but because she believes it's a decent way to achieve her goals.

[[caption-width-right:197:[-Not too bright...-] ]]
'''Jason Moriatos'''

->''"Now that I think about it, a 3 vs 5 fight wasn't too smart anyway."''

Jason is a barbarian who was part of a three-person team of bandits who attacked Julie's group. They lost, and Jane was killed (though not by Julie's group). Umbria watched over them and joined the group. Jason seems to be attracted to Umbria and is fairly easily bent to her will.

* BadassNormal: Uses his strength and combat skills instead of magic.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: Jason comes from an evil family. This may attribute to why he's such a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter.
** EvilMatriarch: Jason's mom [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0177.html is implied to be one.]]
** TykeBomb: According to Jason, his sister Sophia is pretty high levelled. She also [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0235.html works for Brian.]]
* BrainsAndBrawn: The brawn part, while Trevoricus is the brains.
* CaptainObvious: States some pretty obvious things during his and Trevoricus' travels with Umbria.
* TheDitz: Jason can be pretty friendly, but he isn't very bright.
* DumbMuscle: Jason doesn't strike the viewer as very smart.
* EpicFlail: Jason's [[WeaponOfChoice weapon of choice]] is a one-handed flail.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He welcomed [[DarkActionGirl Umbria]] as the new leader of their little group with little question.
* SuperheroSchool: Jason graduated from "Olivia's school for Responsible Barbarians".
* TerribleTrio: With Trevoricus and Umbria.
* [[TokenGoodTeammate Token Good Family Member]]: Jason seems to be the least evil member of his family. He may also be a bit of a BlackSheep over this.
* TrueNeutral[[invoked]]: Doesn't have the chaos we've seen in Pauline, and goes along with whoever is commanding him.
* TheUnfavorite: Implied when compared to his sister, who has so much more power and so many more achievements.
* WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: Jason comes from an evil family. Jason has complained about them chiding Jason over not being more evil like them.

'''Trevoricus'''

->''"Confuse a little human girl for a halfling ONCE and they never let it go!"''

Trevoricus is another part of Jane's team, before it was hijacked by Umbria. Trevoricus is a gnome wizard who is unliked by the law due to some unfortunate mistakes and indescretions he had with a young female human child. He is also the brains of the group, though he too passively follows Umbria's selfish and crazy schemes.

* EightiesHair: When he talked about [[FlashBack his past]] he was shown with a [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0176.html pretty epic '80s mullet.]]
* ActionSurvivor: In his backstory comic, he tells that he fled when his [[DoomedHometown hometown was destroyed]] by the [[EvilEmpire Souballo Empire.]]
* BrainsAndBrawn: The brains part.
* CowardlyLion: He's not known for his guts and knows it. It took him over 100 pages of comic to confront Umbria with her jerkassery. Thanks to help from Jane's Ghost, he [[CharacterDevelopment gets over his cowardice]], confronts Umbria and kicks her out of the group.
* MistakenForPedophile: He eventually explains that the "molestation accident" was him mistaking a human child for a halfling adult; he had good reason for that, since he was traveling with a caravan of halflings.
* OurGnomesAreWeirder: He is a gnome, and they are short, yellow-skinned humanoids with pointy tails.
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: In the tale of his past, we can see him rapping [[Film/TeenWitch "Top That"]] with two other guys. It's as awful as it sounds.
* TheResenter: Towards Jason at times in regards to his success with women (or supposed success with Umbria).
* RunningGag: Umbria ribbing him over the whole accidental attempted child sex thing. Though the [[DudeNotFunny only one who finds that funny]] is Umbria herself.
* SquishyWizard: Trevoricus has the least amount of physical strength in the trio.
* TerribleTrio: With Jason and Umbria.
* TrueNeutral[[invoked]]: Not so much as a philosophy but that he's wishy-washy this way.

[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Jane_8069.jpg]]
'''Jane'''

->''"You can't fight us with all that crap on your back!"''

Jane was the former leader of a small adventuring group that waylaid Julie's group. They tried to bluff Julie that some treasure Julie's group found earlier was theirs. The bluff failed and they fought Julie's group for the swag instead, but that also failed. Julie's group spared the trio, but Jane was killed by Umbria/Zaedalkaah while Jason and Trevoricus were unconcious in order to usurp Jane's position in the group. However, recently she has come back as a ghost and appeared before Trevoricus. The two work together to defeat Umbria and kick her out of the group, so Jane can take her spot as leader back.

* ActionGirl: Even as a ghost.
* BackFromTheDead: Story-wise, but played with, as she's still [[OurGhostsAreDifferent technically dead.]] Played straight later on. [[AllThereInTheManual According to the character page]], Angelo learned of her existence and, due to his dislike of ghosts, offered her an ultimatum: Be destroyed, or be resurrected and swear fealty to the Souballo Empire. She chose the latter.
* BadassNormal: Before she dies.
* CameBackStrong: Though ghosts have a couple of weaknesses, she gains some special powers and is harder to defeat outside of TurnUndead.
* ChaoticNeutral[[invoked]]: Being an unscrupulous thief.
* FogFeet: As a ghost.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: Jason does do something akin to an AlasPoorYorick speech about her, but other than that she's not mentioned afterword. It took [[CallBack 120 or so strips]], but she has come back.
* KilledOffForReal: Originally, but has come back as a [[OurGhostsAreDifferent ghost,]] 120 pages later.
* LoveableRogue: Jane is fairly charismatic and sociable, but still a thief.
* NominalImportance: Double subverted with her death, and return as a ghost.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: She seems to be able to freely interact with living things.

[[folder:Brian Souballo]]
[[quoteright:181:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Brian-ola_6188.jpg]]
'''Brian Souballo'''

->''"I'll go, but instead I will polymorph myself into HER instead! What a twist THAT would be!"''

Brian is the emperor of the Souballo Empire, and is married to Angelo. He was outside relaxing on a balcony of his castle when he saw a giant beacon of light that Julie released when she activated her pendant for the first time. Judging from his reaction he knows about the Magicant and probably the pendant keeper as well, and has informed his followers to find her.

* AffablyEvil: Is quite a bit more good-natured than his [[FauxAffablyEvil husband.]]
* TheArchmage: He causually uses the Shapechange spell, which is a level 9 spell in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. In the ruin Stratus story arc, he uses a Quickened Disintegrate spell, which is considered epic magic.
* BeardOfEvil: Brian is one of the two main antagonists of the story and he has a goatee.
* BenevolentBoss: He seems to care about his underlings more than the usual evil overlord, and is also fixated on professionality.
* BetterLivingThroughEvil: One of his plans is rounding up "choice people" to work for the empire. Brian attempts to invoke this trope on his old magic teacher Mr. Stratus, but fails.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's been hard to take seriously as a villain in the past, but the "ruin Thomas Stratus" arc shows him to be intelligent and not afraid to kill dozens of people with his magic.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With Angelo.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He may have chastised Angelo for [[DisproportionateRetribution destroying an underling]], but we learn that declining Brian's offers to join him result in lightning to the face.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: shows signs of this.
* DepravedHomosexual: Averted. The fact that he and Angelo are gay have absolutely nothing to do with their evilness.
* EmperorScientist: [[spoiler: Created a {{Magitek}} system of transforming/transferring [[OurSoulsAreDifferent Cosmic Lifestrand]] into clones created in laboratories.]]
* EvilOverlord: He is one of the two emperors of the Souballo Empire.
* FantasticRacism: He and Angelo don't like Dwarves and make fun of them, but are mortified when a dwarf within earshot catches them doing it.
* LargeHam: He certainly enjoys playing the part of the EvilOverlord.
* LawfulEvil[[invoked]]: His willingness to do unethical things such as kill and destroy are apparent, but runs his Empire with fairness and organization.
* {{Pride}}: Eagerly shows off his castle with ''two hour tours.''
* TomTheDarkLord: Brian sure isn't a very scary name for an evil emperor.
* UnholyMatrimony: He is married to [[YaoiGuys Angelo.]]
* VillainsOutShopping: The first thing we see him doing is enjoying a hot chocolate while wearing his "imperial pajamas".
* YaoiGuys: With Angelo.

[[folder:Angelo Souballo]]
[[quoteright:187:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Angelo-ola_2180.jpg]]
'''Angelo Souballo'''

->''"If someone around here could make a decent drink, I wouldn't have to kill so many employees..."''

Angelo is the leader of "Angelo's Kids", a pseudo-religion of young adventurers who do his bidding and quest in his name. It is revealed that he works with Brian's Souballo Empire and is married to the emperor himself, making Angelo the "co-emperor". Angelo is more of a traditional evil overlord than his husband and isn't afraid to assert this fact.

* AmbidextrousSprite: One of the most obvious examples in the comic.
* BadBoss: What with the underling annihilation and all.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With Brian.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Much moreso than his husband, Brian. Angelo can turn the sweetness on and off like a light switch.
* TheArchmage: Destruction's a level 7 cleric spell in ''D&D'', but empowering it increases it to level 9. This guy's got power.
* CruelMercy: Angelo prevented [[spoiler:Eva's suicide, only because he had something more interesting in store for her. It seems to have to do with the framing of Thomas Stratus.]]
* DarkMessiah: His followers certainly believe he is a messiah figure.
* DemonHead: [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0236.html Angelo does one to Janice.]]
* DepravedHomosexual: Actually averted. The fact that he and Brian are gay have absolutely nothing to do with their evilness.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Totally annihilated an underling because she criticized Brian's meeting plan.
* EvilOverlord: One of the two emperors of the Souballo Empire.
* EvilRedHead: Angelo has "strawberry blonde" hair, and is quite evil.
* EvilSorcerer: Is shown to use high-level arcane magic.
* FashionableAsymmetry: His outfit has one boot longer than the other, one black glove with jewels on it, and one long sleeve and one short sleeve with his tunic.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Angelo's moments where he seems decent are mainly due to Brian suggesting him to be.
* HetIsEw: He's downright disgusted when Eva [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0262.html suggests that he might try to sexually assault her.]]
* HolyHalo: Subverted as Angelo's a pretty bad egg.
* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: Seemingly not played for laughs like with Peganone. Angelo's outfit is pretty out there.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Angelo may be one of the most conceited and distainful creatures in this story. He cares less about his underlings than his husband, Brian.
* KickTheDog: Most of his dealings with Eva.
* LawfulEvil[[invoked]]: We may be [[NeutralEvil stretching the lawful]] a bit, but he too shows organization and fairly careful planning.
* LightIsNotGood: Angelo is a cleric who wears mostly white, but seems totally insane.
* TheMagnificent: His followers call him "Our Beautiful Worship".
* ManipulativeBastard: And when his words fail, he'll use magic to make you see it his way.
* PathOfInspiration: The religion he created.
* TheRedMage: Angelo is stated to be a "Mystic Theurge", a ''D&D'' PrestigeClass allowing the simultaneous advance of both Cleric spells and (in Angelo's case) Sorcerer spells. This usually leads to a MasterOfNone situation, but Angelo seems to have overcome that through sheer experience and high levels.
* SmugSuper: Angelo is an epic spell-caster and is worshipped by his followers, but is quite smug.
* [[spoiler: UsedToBeASweetKid: A group of soldiers Julie's group encounter revealed that Angelo used to be a Cleric for [[LawfulGood Stellina, the Angel of Justice.]]]]
* YaoiGuys: With Brian.
* YourSoulIsMine: He collects people's souls in gems, a habit even his partner finds a little creepy. One of his own allies fears that he will devour her's if she becomes too powerful.

[[folder:Bruce Moriatos]]
[[quoteright:216:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Bruce_616.jpg]]
'''Bruce Moriatos'''

->''"As per your request, sir."''

Bruce Moriatos seems to be in charge of soldier training in the Empire when it comes to physical training.

* BattleButler: Has this personality.
* BlackKnight: His character sheet [[AllthereInTheManual on the website]] says he's a Blackguard.
* CoDragons: Along with Sophia, Janice and Exillon.
* TheComicallySerious: Remained as serious as ever even when giving those shortbread cookies to the Emperor.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Not as obvious as Sophia as he was wearing a helmet when he was congratulating Jason for passing Barbarian School.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He appears to care deeply about his family, and his daughter helps him out.
* LawfulEvil[[invoked]]
* PunchClockVillain

[[folder:Sophia Moriatos]]
[[quoteright:199:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Sophia_1361.jpg]]
'''Sophia Moriatos'''

->''"I also have a 347 page progress report for you to read if you desire."''

Sophia Moriatos is Bruce's daughter, and in charge of the magical part of soldier training in the empire. She's a cheery go-getter, and a powerful sorceress in her own right.

* CheerfulChild: Though she's part of an Evil Empire.
* ChildMage: A powerful sorceress depsite her young age.
* ChildProdigy: She's a child but has a high ranking position in the army.
* CoDragons: With Bruce, Janice and Exillon.
* DaddysLittleVillain: For Bruce, who is another department head.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: Infiltrates the Silverfronds palace both with disguise magic of her own, and a more powerful magic ring she received from Mr. Souballo.
* EarlyBirdCameo: We see her congratulating Jason when he finished Barbarian School.
* EnfantTerrible: Considering their line of work, she had to get strong someway.
* [[EvilSorcerer Evil Sorceress]]:
* GenkiGirl: Greets Angelo by [[TheGlomp glomping]] [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace him.]]
* PerkyFemaleMinion: Oh yes.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: She used [[MindManipulation mass suggestion]] on a group of magical commanders, which is an advanced Wizard/Sorcerer spell.
* SquishyWizard
* TeachersPet: In an imperial organization instead of a school class.

[[folder:Janice Jamison]]
[[quoteright:129:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Janice_7609.jpg]]
'''Janice Jamison'''

->''"Mind your own business, you little rodent!"''

Janice is the head of magical research in the empire. She is also tasked with being the military tactician and is researching on finding Julie. Her efforts have been unsuccessful so far.

* CoDragons: Just like Bruce, Sophia and Exillon.
* DeadpanSnarker: Not even Angelo chewing her out in some kind of [[OneWingedAngel evil, eldritch form]] phased her snark.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She is revealed to have a black dragon she adopted as her ''son'' and does have love for him.
* {{Evil Old Folk|s}}
* EvilutionaryBiologist: Before being forced to be the Empire's tactician, Brian taught her about magical science and she spent most of her time producing symbiote bonded humans in a [[MagiTek magical science lab.]]
* {{Foil}}: Comic's already showing hints of this between Sophia and Janice.
* InsufferableGenius: Angelo seems to hate this about her, too.
* LeanAndMean: Very much so. The website character info calls her "Janice the Annis".
* PerpetualFrowner: It's easy to see where all those wrinkles came from.
* PowerHair: Wears it short like one.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Likes the color purple a lot, and she is one of the most powerful wizards in the Souballo Empire.
* SquishyWizard
* WickedWitch: Illustrated very clearly in [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0487.html this comic.]]
* YouDidntAsk: [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0236.html Very nicely done.]]

[[folder:Master Exillon]]
[[quoteright:157:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Exillon_9517.jpg]]
'''Master Exillon'''

->''"BEEP."''

Exillon is some kind of [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot glowing robotic crystal,]] and the token non-human part of this villain ensemble. Exillon's an [[AllThereInTheManual outside agent]] that's working in secret with the empire in exchange for some kind of reward. The only person who can understand what it says is Brian.

* CoDragons: Like Bruce, Sophia and Janice.
* CyberCyclops: It certainly looks robotic.
* EnigmaticMinion: Mainly because only Brian understands what it's saying.
* FacelessEye: Exillon doesn't have a face, only a robotic-looking central eye.
* PsychicPowers: Has a variety of psionic powers [[AllThereInTheManual according to the website.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: A central eye (or robotic sensor) where its face would be.
* SinisterGeometry: An elongated tetradecahedron accompanied by 10 smaller crystal-like things in various 2d geometric shapes.
* TheUnintelligible: Exillon speaks only in robotic sounding BEEPS, but [[TranslatorBuddy Brian can understand it.]]

[[folder:Soldiers of the Souballo Empire]]
'''Soldiers of the Souballo Empire'''

->''"Certain filthy Elves are gonna get what's coming to them in time."''

The [[TheEmpire Souballo Empire]] seems to be the main antagonist force in the comic. It is led by [[TheEmperor Brian Souballo]] and [[BigBadDuumvirate Angelo Souballo]], and its agenda includes making Manjulias a [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans better place to live]] for humans, and [[BetterLivingThroughEvil anyone who allies with them.]] This would be all well and good if it weren't for its [[ANaziByAnyOtherName tyranical tendencies]] and [[WorldDomination hostile approach.]] This section will cover tropes of the Souballo Empire as a whole and various minor members of the Souballo Empire have invoked.

* EliteMooks: Most all of the soldiers Julie's group has met so far have class levels and specialized training.
* FacelessMooks: Completely averted.
* FantasticRacism: Actively work against Elves due to idealogical differences.
* FantasyCharacterClasses: There are members of every character class except Bard (with the exception of Umbria) in the Empire.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: The Souballo Empire gives many other races this feeling.
* KnightTemplar: Most of the imperials are depicted this way.
* MagicKnight: [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0094.html Carissa]] went this route.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: At its worst, the empire's warlike nature and [[FantasticRacism genocidal attitude towards Elves]] somewhat resembles Nazi Germany.
* PunchClockVillain: Brian's attempts at professionalism and the way he treats his underlings suggest they probably get paid quite well. There are some nutters, but many of the imperials are depicted as normal people who are fighting for a world they were promised.
* PuttingOnTheReich: Most of the members of the Empire we've seen seem to genuinely believe in the Emperor's vision and willingly do what he commands. These soldiers range from the [[PsychoForHire nutjobs]] to [[MyCountryRightOrWrong seemingly reasonable people.]]
* WeAreEverywhere: WordOfGod stated the Empire is the most concentrated in the northern half of the main Manjulias continent, but agents of the empire have been seen as far away as the Baxillon Island.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: When it comes to making the world a better place for humans, anyway...
