History Characters / RomanticallyApocalyptic

* CloningBlues: Engie discovers [[spoiler:that he is the 27th version of himself. And later that, in addition to the clones, he has a backup copy]].

* GreaterScopeVillain: 8 is almost never seen outside the text descriptions. However, she would turn out to be the creator of the Dead Zones, and was responsible for coordinating the [[WalkingTechbane Unconnectables]] created by Alexander Gromov B

!!The Captain (a.k.a. "Zee Captein"), Governor of Captania

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: While the Captain is crazy and borderline insane, it works in his/her favor.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: They killed an alien that had abducted Snippy by throwing a piece of cake in their face.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: A lot of Zee Captain's {{Jerkass}} traits come more from insanity than anything else, and s/he seems to be genuinely well-meaning from his/her entries.

* MysteriousPast: Nothing is really known for sure about Captain until s/he got involved in Project 7. From what little Captain has said about his/her past, s/he is from Germany, was once lured into a van by a man who wanted to suck out his/her "precious eyeball juices" with a straw, and had an abusive father, though it's unclear if any of this is true.
* NoIndoorVoice: According to the Entries, especially the voiced ones, s/he is very hammy.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Zee Captain is definitely insane, but zee isn't ''dumb'', and not only can zee be rather crafty if the situation requires it, zee's also constantly trying to help his/her friends and protect them from death in any way zee can. [[spoiler:It's eventually revealed pretty much every zany thing the Captain does has some sort of purpose, usually to protect zeerself and zeer minions from harm.]]

* GagBoobs: After coming across a billboard depicting a ''very'' busty woman, Zee Mug's humanoid avatar alters her appearance to sport enormous breasts.

* WeaponOfChoice: His sniper rifle.

* ILoveNuclearPower: How this creature seems to have arisen.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Machinima/RedVsBlue Caboose]]. They're both {{Cloudcuckoolander}} ManChild{{ren}} who practically worship the ground the leader of their group walks on, and despises TheLancer for inexplicable reasons.

* MeanBrit: Since he's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold and [[http://ask-snippy.tumblr.com/post/20663260932 apparently]] also British...

* FoeYay: ANNET called him "dear" and said "I love you" whilst trying to kill him years ago. In her return she referred to him as "my love", just before trying to kill him. Likewise, Engineer usually calls her "Annie", and before the apocalypse it was definitely a term of affection. He also has called her "my love." He even wrote a ''[[http://alexiuss.deviantart.com/art/ENGIE-My-girl-Annie-286908048 poem]]'' about her, in which he called her "my beloved. [[invoked]]

* {{Robosexual}}: With ANNET. See also the entry for FoeYay.

* MechanicalAbomination: ANNET was an AI created to copyright everything in the universe... [[spoiler:which she did by integrating her network into the time-space continuum. Page 250 implies that even Zee Captain is another facet of ANNET.]]

[[folder:Photoshop]]
!!Photoshop

* HorseOfADifferentColor: Shows up being ridden by Echo after ANNET's defeat.
* SandWorm: Appears similar to one, anyway.
* TeamPet: She was Pilot's "pet" and spent much of her on-panel screen chasing Snippy. She was left behind.

[[folder:Biomatrix 117[=/=]The Cancer]]
!! Tetra-Virus Biomass Matrix 117 (a.k.a. "the Cancer")

An alien monstrosity sent as a legal defense representative for Snippy and Captain after they kill the Arbiter. The Biomatrix eventually becomes something of an ally to the gang due to their mysterious obsession with Snippy.

'''Tropes:'''

[[folder:Echo]]
!! Echo

* FullFrontalAssault: She engages a group of soldiers stark naked - except for a scarf - in a ShoutOut to the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}.
* FusionDance: She's a combination of ANNET and the Biomatrix.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: She has blood-red skin, which makes sense considering her "father" is the Biomatrix. [[spoiler: Her skin turns silvery once she reaches the Moon with Kittyhawk and Photoshop]].
* HornedHumanoid: She has four curved goat-like horns and a pair of deer-like antlers.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: In her second appearance she's perched on Photoshop's back.
* HumanoidAbomination: She was formed from a backup copy of ANNET's AI taking over some of the Biomatrix's biomass.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: In her second appearance she's wearing a tattered white scarf.
* ThirdEye: She has a third eye resembling both ANNET's and the Lifealope's.

[[folder:Director Bell]]
!!Director Bell

'''Tropes:'''

[[folder:Mr. Kittyhawk]]
!! Mr. Kittyhawk

* CompanionCube: Initially seems to serve as this to Pilot, before being revealed as one of ANNET's drones. Flashbacks reveal Kittyhawk used to be a sentient answering machine working for Pilot.
* ExpositionFairy: Mr. Kittyhawk is outed as one of ANNET's drones and serves as this for her.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Though not that much of a jerk, Kittyhawk is still a loyal servant of ANNET; still, Kittyhawk is loyal to and genuinely cares about Pilot, being heartbroken over his brain damage.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Captain's Straw]]
!!Captain's Straw

* AnimateInanimateObject: It's fully sentient, and able to drink literally any substance, even if it isn't liquid.
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Gromov B used it to create the Unconnectables.]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Its log shows that it isn't really all there, which probably explains why it likes Captain so much.
* KilledOffForReal: It gets destroyed after Captain tries to use it to drink a black hole.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: While it has a minimal role in the plot, it both caused Pilot to become a private detective and set him on the path to becoming the childlike lunatic we all know, and [[spoiler:was used by the Lunar Overmind to create the Unconnectables, making it partially responsible for Snippy's misery and the apocalypse.]]

[[folder:Matilda]]
!!Matilda

* CreepyGood: Matilda is a creepy looking robot, but she has nothing but good intentions and is a total sweetheart.
* CreepyLongFingers: She sports them.
* NiceGirl: She's a total sweetheart who is the only person to be one hundred percent kind to Snippy, and help him with zero ulterior motive.

[[folder:Dillon]]
!!Dillon

'''Tropes:'''
* CreepyGood: He's a terrifying-looking wraith, but he's actually a very chatty and pleasant guy.

[[folder:Klauss]]
!!Jenkins Klauss

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/df66e34d_2ad4_40de_bdec_7a6704afa412.jpeg]]

* CreepyGood: He looks horrifying, but he's a very pleasant and cordial fellow in the present day.
* FatalFlaw: His selfishness and cruelty result in him ruining his own life in his attempts to recapture the last bee and sell it, and [[FateWorseThanDeath being turned into a DEX]] after he punches Dr. Gromov for throwing it in an incinerator after it stung him.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Dr. Gromov/[[spoiler:Engineer]] had him turned into a DEX, erasing his memories, and assigned him to work at a hotel in Paris because he was convinced he was an assassin and wanted to punish him. Ironically, Klauss actually enjoys this, even when it results in him mutating into an inhuman beast.
* IHatePastMe: He's genuinely regretful of his past actions, and apologizes to Pilot, Engineer, and Snippy for wronging them.
* {{Jerkass}}: He was a massively selfish dick who only cared about himself and getting money. He's mellowed out a lot in the present day.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears in a few strips, but his actions indirectly caused most of the events of the comic, including inadvertently setting Pilot on the path to being left a brain-damaged lunatic, and inadvertently caused [[spoiler:the creation of the Lunar Overmind, who in turn indirectly caused the apocalypse]].
* TookALevelInKindness: He's mellowed out a lot while taking care of the hotel, and regrets his cruel actions.
* WasOnceAMan: After the apocalypse, he shed his human aspects and mutated into a monstrous, albeit still sentient beast at the urging of the A.I. running the hotel.

* CannotTellFictionFromReality: S/he's convinced his/her minions are Franchise/{{Pokemon}}, and keeps trying to get them to level up.

* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: They were dead right about aliens and fairies being real. The Moon Arc further reveals [[spoiler:every one of Captain's bizarre commands are ways to keep out of danger from the G-Directorate, since their draconic rules are absurdly easy to violate and harshly punished]].

* AmnesiacDissonance: Pilot was once an private investigator sent to assassinate Snippy. He lost his memories and sanity after being caught in a car bomb and is now a {{yandere}} ManChild. The difference between Pilot's past self and his current self is night and day, though as the comic goes on they are shown to have had the same goal of becoming human.

* TwoFaced: Half his face was burned off by the explosion that disconnected him from ANNET, leaving it just the exposed skull. Snippy compares it to Film/TheTerminator.

!!The Engineer (a.k.a. "Engie", [[spoiler: a.k.a. Dr. Alexander Gromov]])

* EasyAmnesia: [[spoiler:The first time the Biomatrix takes him time travelling, Snippy loses his memories after returning back to the present when it all goes wrong. He quickly regains them while Pilot and Captain take him shopping to celebrate Boxing Day. However, the memory loss continues to be a persistent problem, and he loses more memories the more he travels through time.]]
