History Characters / ShadowchasersSeries

This is a character sheet for the ''FanFic/ShadowchasersSeries'':

* [[Characters/ShadowchasersShadowchasers Shadowchasers]]
** [[Characters/ShadowchasersBackwater Shadowchasers: Backwater Characters]]
** [[Characters/ShadowchasersDragonLords Shadowchasers: Dragon Lords Characters]]

* [[Characters/SettingShadows Setting Shadows]]

* [[Characters/RiseOfTheShadowKing Rise of the Shadow King]]

For sake of size, each team will have their own folder from this point on.

!!Tropes shared for all Shadowchasers:

* ActionGirl: Any female Shadowchaser automatically qualifies as this.
* BadassBiker: Most of them ride on D-Wheels (with the female Shadowchasers falling under BikerBabe).
* BadassNormal: Most of them are this, their skills augmented by a few learned by Shadowkind, although now and then, a few Shadowkind show up in the organization. (Jalal tries to discourage this, as it can cause issues with favoritism or bias.)
* CoolSword: All Shadowchasers carry a sword that they use for non-dueling situations, with some exceptions.
* DistinguishingMark: All Shadowchasers have a small mark on their face (that's only visible by Awares and Shadowkind) that indicates to others that they are a Shadowchaser.
* [[HeroOfAnotherStory Heroes of Another Story]]: A lot of the Shadowchaser stories tend to happen simultaneously with one another. So most of the time, one adventure is happening the same time as another due to them being a world-wide organization.
* [[HeroWithBadPublicity Heroes with Bad Publicity]]: According to the opening narrative at the start of ''Tournament of Shadows'', the organization sometimes suffers from this because of some unfortunate incidents that have happened throughout history. As a result, relationships between the Shadowchasers and some parts of Shadowkind have been getting worse. The Shadowchasers are sometimes seen as oppressors and Jalal as a tyrant as a result. A big reason as to why Jalal even accepted Jean-Claude Martin's offer in the first place was because they wanted to repair some of their relationships with Shadowkind. (Mostly this is a case-by-case basis, and if a Shadowchaser has ''exceptionally'' bad publicity, this Trope is noted in his/her own section.
* TheMenInBlack: They focus on fighting supernatural forces that ordinary people don't even know exist.
* OddlySmallOrganization: While they are a world-wide organization, there are only about 500 members total. Which compared to other international peace-keeping organizations, is pretty small.
* RiteOfPassage: After clearing four tests, a Shadowchaser apprentice must do this before he/she can officially be considered a Shadowchaser. The Rite of Passage requires them to stop a Shadow-related threat [[ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself on their own without the help of any of their teammates.]]
* [[SignatureMove Signature Card]]: All Shadowchasers are required to always carry a card called ''Jalal the Dragonborn'' with them. Later replaced with ''Dragonprince Jalal'' as of ''Torment'' (though fics whose settings take place beforehand still use the original version). The only exception is Jalal himself, who does not seem to have it.

[[folder: Neo Domino branch]]

Introduced in the original fic, the Neo Domino Shadowchasers serve as the main protagonists of the original fic and ''Power Primordial''. Due to where they reside, they are also the ones who are affected the most when it comes to the main plotline of ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds''.
-----

!!Ember (real name Eiko Michiko)
->''"Around midnight, something woke up in me… A small nudge that turned the doubt I was experiencing into excitement… And something occurred to me…I had made a wish right before Hebi-Na had attacked me… It seemed that my wish had come true."''

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/{{Shadowchasers}}'' (first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersPowerPrimordial'', ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows''

The main protagonist of the original fic and ''Power Primordial''. Ember was originally a secretary who worked for Anthony Draco until she was almost killed by an ophidia assassin named Hebi-Na due to her Aware powers awakening. Fortunately for her, Shichiro intervenes in time and defeats Hebi-Na. Afterwards Shichiro tells her about the world behind the veil and about the Shadowchasers. After learning that she can see Shadowkind for what they are and that her life can never be the same as it was before, Ember joins the Shadowchasers with Jinx as her mentor. [[spoiler: Later on, she is given the task to stop the Deluge from being casted on the Earth and confront the mastermind behind it, which she eventually succeeds in.]]

In ''Power Primordial'', Ember has already accommodated herself fully in her new life as a Shadowchaser. Later on [[spoiler: she agrees to be Jetta's sponsor and helps her find the real culprit for the crime that she was accused of.]]

She later returns as one of the main characters in ''Tournament of Shadows'' as one of the Shadowchasers currently participating in the 2nd Duelist Kingdom tournament wherein she enters with the hopes of supporting a group called the "Hands of Sadako".
-----
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Is possibly this towards some Shadowchasers due to her saving the world on her first official day. One Shadowchaser in particular who feels this way is Ace from ''Risen Nemesis''.
%%* TheApprentice: To Jinx in the original fic.
* BadassInDistress: Gets kidnapped at least twice over the course of the original fic and ''Power Primordial''. (First time by Anthony Draco and the second time by Hebi-Na)
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: A positive example. When she was still Draco's secretary, she light-heartedly wishes that her life could be a lot more interesting, moments before she is almost killed by Hebi-Na. Then after Shichiro tells her about the Shdaowchasers and about the world behind the veil, she feels nervous at first until it turns into feelings of excitement.
* BeginnersLuck: [[spoiler: Manages to save the world from the Deluge on her ''first day'' as an official Shadowchaser. Spin-off stories by other authors shows that some characters are envious of her or try to emulate her because of it.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While generally a nice person, she claims to have an "inner bitch" in her that she occasionally channels. Some opponents have actually been at the receiving end of this.
* [[BrainyBrunette Brainy Redhead:]] Is known to be quite well-read and was a straight A student when she was in high school.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Twice. The first time was in the original fic wherein she defeated Venomminaga, Deity of Poisonous Snakes (which in this universe is the avatar of the ophidia goddess Seghulerak) by dropping its ATK points all the way to 0 with her Samsara Dogma trap, enough for Flamvell Urquizas to destroy it without it being able to revive itself, and the second time was in ''Power Primordial'' wherein she defeats the aboleth's [[spoiler: recently resurrected Ccapac Apu]] with Jetta assisted by the other Primordial Titans ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Flamvell Urquizas]]) through her Synchro Baton trap.
%%* FieryRedhead: Has her moments although she's more subdued than most examples of this trope.
%%* [[SixthRanger Fourth Ranger]]: Of the the Neo Domino branch.
* GirlNextDoor: Jinx describes her as this when she and Shichiro were researching for information about her.
* GlassCannon: Most of her monsters tend to have high ATK scores and offensive capabilities such as swarming, burn and beatdown but have little to no DEF.
* GreenEyes: Said to be her most remarkable feature.
* [[IOweYouMyLife I Owe Them My Life]]: When Minerva tries to persuade her not to confront Iggwiliv [[spoiler: after the other Paragons defeat and capture the rest of her teammates]] in ''Power Primordial''. Ember refuses, remembering how far her teammates went to save her [[spoiler: when she was Draco's hostage]] in the original fic.
* IdenticalStranger: Her appearance is frequently compared to be exactly similar to the card Rose, Warrior of Revenge.
* InTheEndYouAreOnYourOwn: Both of her final duels in the original fic and ''Power Primordial'' involve her being separated from the rest of her teammates and left to fend for herself. In the former it was because [[spoiler: she was the only one who could stop the Deluge]] and in the latter, it was because [[spoiler: the impact caused by effect of Diabolic Star Dragon transported her and the possessed Igwiliv to where the true Fire Node is, although she did have Gabriel for this one]]
* MadeOfIron: Her ability to repeatedly take punishment in Shadow Duels surprises everyone, including herself.
* [[MeaningfulName Meaningful Nickname]]: Her nickname is "Ember" and she uses Fire monsters.
%%* NaiveNewcomer: In the orginal fic.
%%* {{Narrator}}: Of the original fic.
* NonHumanSidekick: Gabriel becomes Ember's constant companion and corner man in ''Power Primordial''. (He isn't with her for ''Tournament of Shadows'', however.)
* PlayingWithFire: Her deck is a Fire deck, mostly filled with Flamvell monsters.
%%* PluckyGirl
* [[ReluctantHero Reluctant Heroine:]] In the original fic, she joins the organization out of consequence, as most young Shadowchasers do after becoming Aware, convinced by Shichiro that there's safety in numbers. Not so much in ''Power Primordial'' onwards, where she becomes more adjusted to it.
* SaveTheVillain: [[spoiler: After she defeats the aboleth, she rescues Iggwiliv from her cage before escaping the pocket dimension that they were in. Later when Iggwiliv scoffs at her heroic act, contributing it to the flaw of human morality, Ember says to her that the reason she rescued her was so that she could answer for her crimes and also because if she left her there, she might have found a way to escape herself eventually.]]
* SeeYouInHell: [[spoiler: To the aboleth during her TakingYouWithMe moment.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Ember''' (after negating the aboleth's Barrel Behind the Door trap): I'll see you in Hell, you egotistical idiot...]]
* SeriesMascot: Second to Jalal, she's probably the most iconic character in the series due to her being the original protagonist. She and her achievements also gets mentioned a lot in other Shadowchaser spin-offs.
* SexySecretary: During her time as Draco's secretary depending on who you ask. Although she qualifies more as "pretty" rather than "sexy".
* [[SignatureMove Signature Card]]: Flamvell Urquizas and Jetta the Bronze-Hearted.
%%* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead
* SoloSequence: In ''Tournament of Shadows'' wherein she is the only one in her team to partake in the 2nd Duelist Kingdom tournament.
* TheSponsor: For Jetta in ''Power Primordial'', although she had to prove herself in four consecutive duels first without rest (she succeeds).
* StoneWall: During her Broken Bamboo Sword test wherein she had to win without attacking at all (and she couldn't use any cards that were good in a deck that doesn't involve attacking such as Gravity Bind and Marshmallon)
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: Does this during her duel with an aboleth-possessed Iggwiliv when she negates its "Barrel Behind the Door" trap which would have caused all of the damage done by the effect of Diabolic Star Dragon to be dealt to her. Fortunately, they both survive.]]
* ToHellAndBack:
** Played with. After she draws with the aboleth-possessed Iggwiliv in a Shadow duel, shes gets transported to some place that is reminiscent of Hell. Ember even starts thinking she really ''is'' in Hell and after fending off some demons, declares that she plans to fight as hard as she can no matter what. Gabriel then reassures her that she's not ''really'' in Hell but someplace else.
** An earlier situation in the same fic might qualify better, when she escapes from the Venomous Tarns, with her cousin's help. Although, as horrible as this place is, it's only Hell for some people. As he tells her, it might actually be considered Heaven to ophidia who were loyal worshippers of Seghulerak.
%%* TookALevelInBadass: Compare her in the original fic and in ''Power Primordial'' onwards.
* [[UnlikelyHero Unlikely Heroine]]: In her narration at the start of the original fic, she states that there is nothing about her that can be considered "special" compared to other heroes. She says that the only thing she had was the "potential" to be one (this is actually true for several other Shadowchasers when their awareness kicks in).
* ZergRush: During her Heavy Slump test, wherein she focuses on swarming the field with monsters in order to thin out her deck quicker (which she got the idea from after her duel with Crow in her dreams) due to the test requiring her to have a 60-card deck. Of course, most of these monsters (save for a few) are weak in terms of ATK power.

!!Osaka Shichiro
->''"I seem to remember you comparing yourself to Al Capone and me to Eliot Ness. Well, let me tell you something about Ness. He was a lawman to the core. He couldn’t be bribed, and he wasn’t scared by threats. That’s why he and his group were called the Untouchables. I’d say your comparison was right on the money."''

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/{{Shadowchasers}}'' (first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersPowerPrimordial'', ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows'' (cameo only)

One of the main characters of the original fic and ''Power Primordial''. Shichiro is regarded by most parts of Shadowkind to be the best Shadowchaser in Neo Domino. He is the one who saves Ember from almost being killed by Hebi-Na and the one to explain to her everything about the Shadowchasers and Shadowkind. Throughout the fic, there have been several hints about something that he had regretted doing two years prior to the events of the story.
-----
* TheAce: Is said to be the best Shadowchaser in Neo Domino.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: [[spoiler:For most of the original fic and in the first half of ''Power Primordial'', he always feels like he's riding on Yusei's coattails. This could be why he ran a deck that was similar to Yusei's until ''Power Primordial'' wherein he finally makes a deck with his own identity in it.]]
* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler: After losing to Soth in ''Power Primordial''.]]
* BadDreams: In the original fic, he frequently gets dreams of seeing Junk Warrior, Exploder Dragonwing, Blackwing Armor Master and Archfiend General blocking his path, all of them angry at him. [[spoiler: This reflects the guilt he feels for supposedly causing the disasters that befell Team Satisfaction. It is also this reason that he was initially reluctant in using Junk Synchron and Junk Warrior in his deck. After his duel with [=DaPen=], the dream changes to Junk Warrior reasoning with the other three and ends with them no longer angry at him and finally letting him through.]]
* BigEater: Temporarily becomes one when Edmund hits him with his Enervation spell after their duel.
* BoundAndGagged: [[spoiler:Ember, Jinx, and Gears find him in this state after rescuing him from Soth during ''Power Primordial''. Much to his embarrassment.]]
* TheChooserOfTheOne: His Rose, Warrior of Revenge card, which he is allowed to keep until he finds someone who realizes his/her potential and understands the card's meaning. [[spoiler: He later gives the card to Ember before she goes off to stop the Deluge after she finally understands its significance.]]
* DemotedToExtra: Only makes a cameo appearance in ''Tournament of Shadows''.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: At some point, he managed to defeat a duelist that was using a F.G.D. - a monster whose ATK power surpasses even the Egyptian God cards and is speculated to be the avatar of the Dragon Queen Tiamat. Which seems to be a story that he never gets tired of sharing. He later repeats this feat during his duel with Trueman wherein he not only defeats one F.G.D., but ''two''.
* MagicalSeventhSon: Has six older brothers and his father also has six older brothers. Shichiro thinks this is the reason for him being an Aware.
* MeaningfulName: Shichiro which means "seventh son" (See MagicalSeventhSon)
* TheMentor: [[spoiler: Was this for Yusei Fudo, when he pursued his un-authorized project that would try to make a Sensitive into an Aware. It backfired and the two went their separate ways, only making up in the end of the original fic.]]
* MidSeasonUpgrade: Shichiro upgrades his deck during ''Power Primordial'' going from Toolbox Warrior to a Six Samurai/Warrior hybrid of sorts.
* OldShame: InUniverse example. Two years prior to the original fic, he pursued an un-authorized project that would try to make a Sensitive into an Aware. Unfortunately it didn't work out and he had a fallout with his apprentice. As a result, he blames himself for the bad things that happened to said apprentice and his friends. Eventually Jinx helps him realize that it wasn't his fault at all and makes peace with his old apprentice [[spoiler: Yusei Fudo]] by the end of the fic.
* {{Samurai}}: Uses a Six Samurai deck from the middle of ''Power Primordial'' onwards.
* [[SignatureMove Signature Card]]: Colossal Fighter and Trymus the Conqueror.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Spiders]]: He seems to dislikes spiders as seen during his duel with Matron Drizzera.

!!Jinx (real name Noriko Kaede)
->''"But this guy was smart, Ember. He knew something very important. He knew that he would never truly be a loser until he stopped trying. I wouldn’t call Abraham Lincoln a loser, would you?"''

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/{{Shadowchasers}}'' (first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersPowerPrimordial'' ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows'' (cameo only)

One of the main characters of the original fic and ''Power Primordial''. Jinx is a Shadowchaser that serves as Ember's mentor during her apprenticeship. It is known that during her apprenticeship, she took on a redcap Shadowkind as her final test. After defeating it, the redcap incinerated himself leaving nothing but a tooth behind. After learning more about them, she keeps the tooth as proof that she rid the world of a corruption of nature. It is for this reason that she runs a Gamble/X-Saber deck during the course of the original fic.
-----
* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler: After losing to [=DaPen=] in the original fic and to Menzoberra in ''Power Primordial''.]]
* [[BarbarianHero Barbarian Heroes]][=/=][[NatureHero Nature Heroes]]: Her X-Sabers, which are said to be barbaric warriors whose powers are influenced by nature.
%%* BareYourMidriff
* BargainWithHeaven: [[spoiler: After her luck starts to wear out during her final duel against her boggart, she makes a silent prayer to the higher forces to let her luck hold out enough for her to survive the duel, with the promise that she would no longer rely on luck in duels, which was fortunately answered. In which she would then keep the promise she made by the time ''Power Primordial'' occurs.]]
* BattleTrophy: She keeps a redcap's tooth that she wears around her neck that she got from a redcap that she defeated during her Rite of Passage. She learned that one must keep the tooth as a sign that they have rid the world of a corruption of nature, and as a result will receive nature's blessings. It is this reason why she uses the X-Saber monsters, as their strengths are also derived from the forces of nature.
* [[BigBrotherMentor Big Sister Mentor:]] To Ember in the original fic, although they are still like this in later fics. Jinx even says that Ember is like the younger sister that she never had.
%%* CoolBigSis: To Ember.
* DemotedToExtra: Only makes a cameo appearance in ''Tournament of Shadows''.
* DishingOutDirt: Runs mostly Earth monsters and supports them more extensively in ''Power Primordial''.
* TheGambler: Half off her deck in the original fic uses Gamble cards. [[spoiler: She stops using them completely after her final duel with her boggart, wherein her bad luck almost costs her the duel.]]
* [[MeaningfulName Meaningful Nickname]]: Jinx, considering her good luck often means bad luck for her opponents. The name soon becomes TheArtifact in ''Power Primordial'' considering she no longer uses her Gamble cards.
* ParentalHypocrisy: When she gets angry because Ember is careless and went on an unauthorized mission without her permission, Jalal mentions that he "seems to remember" another Shadowchaser who did that a ''lot'' when she was an apprentice. (He's talking about Jinx.) Jinx is not able to deny it.
* PettingZooPeople: A few of her X-Sabers are Beast-Warriors. She also puts more focus on them in ''Power Primordial'' after removing her Gamble cards.
* [[SignatureMove Signature Card]]: X-Saber Urbellum and Shanalla the Fierce.
* XMakesAnythingCool: Her X-Saber deck.

!!Gears (real name Maurice Poston)
->''"Then I would likely forget all about the oath I took, and tie your tentacles in knots and cave your skull in against the wall until it was a bloody pulp."''

->''"Would anyone convict me for it? Would I even be disciplined for it? I don’t think so. Who would represent you if I killed you? No-one likes you folks, [=DaPen=]. No-one would even file a complaint at Shadowchaser Headquarters if I violated protocol when dealing with you. They’d say you got what you deserved, and sweep it under the carpet."''

-> His reply after [=DaPen=] asks what his reaction would be if he had killed Jinx.

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/{{Shadowchasers}}'' (first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersPowerPrimordial'', ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows'' (cameo only)

One of the main characters in the original fic and ''Power Primordial''. As the Shadowchaser with the most seniority and experience in his group, Gears serves as the de-facto leader of the Neo Domino Shadowchasers as well as their go-to guy when it comes to technology. It is said that years prior to Shichiro and Jinx joining, he came across an evil wizard that used Worm monsters, monster of Light and servants of the Light of Ruin that were far more cruel than the darkest of Fiends. Even after winning the duel, he still receives nightmares about them. It is for this reason that he uses the Allies of Justice - monsters that were blessed with the Healing Darkness in order to combat the Worm monsters should they ever return.
-----
* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler: After losing to [=DaPen=] in the original fic and to Rary in ''Power Primordial''.]]
* CripplingOverspecialization: True to his deck's theme, most of the time he relies extensively on changing the attributes of his opponent's monsters. As a result, he tends to have problems with some non-Light using opponents.
* DarkIsNotEvil: His deck uses Allies of Justice, which are Dark-Attribute Machines. Ironically, his arch-nemesis [[LightIsNotGood Edmund uses Light-Attribute monsters.]]
* DemotedToExtra: Only makes a cameo appearance in ''Tournament of Shadows''.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Do ''not'' call him Maurice.
* GadgeteerGenius: Is the one who built the D-Wheels that he and his teammates use.
* [[spoiler: ILetGwenStacyDie: Before he met Mistle, he was in love with another woman so much that they were both even close to marriage. However she was killed by the first worm-that-walks (later revealed to be Edmund's mentor) and was revived as a zombie. It is this reason that Gears hates Edmund so much.]]
* InterspeciesRomance: He's in a romantic relationship with Mistle, a wood nymph. Although he denies it, it is very obvious.
* MeaningfulName: See GadgeteerGenius above.
* MechanicalLifeforms: Aside from his Allies of Justice monsters, he also runs a few standard Machines in his deck.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In his duel with Jill, when he destroys Jill's "Golden Castle of Stromberg", [[spoiler: it only triggers the second curse that Edmund placed which possesses Jill. When it happens, he actually says to himself that he should've just finished Jill off then and there so that the curse wouldn't have been triggered. He still wins in the end though.]]
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Repeatedly says this about Mistle. Not that anyone believes him.
* [[SignatureMove Signature Card]]: Ally of Justice Catastor and Il Mathman the Artificier.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Alien Monsters:]] Has a fear of Alien monsters which Edmund tries to capitalize during their last duel. Fortunately this only helps him get over it.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Las Vegas branch]]

Introduced in ''Risen Nemesis'', The Las Vegas Shadowchasers serve as the main protagonists of ''Risen Nemesis''.
-----

!!General Tropes for this Branch

* BunnyEarsLawyer: They and the New York branch are competing to see which is the most eccentric Shadowchasers branch.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: They all are rather eccentric to a certain degree, even Faye has her moments.

!!Hyde Ivan Vayne

->'''Appearances''': ''[[FanFic/YuGiOhTheThousandYearDoor Yu-Gi-Oh: Thousand Year Door Redux]]'', ''FanFic/ShadowchasersRisenNemesis'' (first appearance), ''Shadowchasing Crossroads'', ''FanFic/ShadowchasersDarkCityChronicles''

The main protagonist of ''Risen Nemesis'' and ''Dark City Chronicles''. Hyde was originally an ordinary detective until an incident occurred [[spoiler: involving his former mentor Davidson]] changed everything followed by his Awareness powers activating. [[spoiler: By the end of ''Risen Nemesis'', he officially leaves his team to do some soul-searching of his own, which leads him to his hometown New York City in ''Dark City Chronicles''.]]

He also makes an appearance in the remake version of the fanfic Fanfic/YuGiOhTheThousandYearDoor, a fic that takes place in the Shadowchaser universe 5 years before the events of Anime/YuGiOh5Ds. For tropes about him that only apply in that fic, please look at that fic's [[Characters/YuGiOhTheThousandYearDoor corresponding character page.]]
-----
* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' call him an old man.
** Mispronouncing his name is also another way to tick him off.
* GreatDetective
* ShoutOut: His Lone Skull Rider card to [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Kamen Rider Skull]].
** [[spoiler: His letter that he left behind at the end of ''Risen Nemesis'' ends with [[Franchise/AceAttorney "Shadowchaser Hyde Vayne chooses death."]]]]
* [[SignatureMove Signature Card]]: Inugami
* TheSixthRanger: [[Spoiler:To the New York Shadowchasers in ''Dark City Chronicles''.]]
* SmokingIsCool: Smokes several packs on a regular basis, much to Faye's dismay.
* SpecialGuest: In ''Yu-Gi-Oh! The Thousand Year Door: Redux''.
* WalkingTheEarth: [[spoiler:At the end of ''Risen Nemesis'', he leaves his team in order to do some soul-searching of his own.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With [[spoiler: Davidson.]]
* {{Youkai}}: Uses a Youkai deck [[spoiler: which originally belonged to his former mentor now arch-enemy Davidson.]]

!!Ace (real name Alice Drei)

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersRisenNemesis'' (first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows''

One of the main characters of ''Risen Nemesis''. Ace serves as the newest and youngest member of the Las Vegas Shadowchasers [[spoiler: that is until Jack and Mira join in by the end of the fic]]. Young, brash and energetic, Ace usually has a tendency to get reckless as well as slack off during her shifts. Despite that, she is known to be quite passionate with what she does.

She later appears as one of the main characters of ''Tournament of Shadows'' as one of the Shadowchasers currently participating in the 2nd Duelist Kingdom tournament wherein she enters with the hopes of dueling Ember (who Ace considers to be her rival).
-----
* TheAce: Claims that this is why it's her nickname calling herself "the ace hidden in the Shadowchasers' sleeve". Hyde responds by saying it's just because she hates her name.
* TheApprentice: To Faye during her apprenticeship.
* BadassAdorable: Kyon seems to think so.
* BeastOfBattle[=/=]PettingZooPeople: Uses a Beast/Beast Warrior deck.
* BerserkButton: Unless you're really close to her, do not call her Alice.
** Bringing up Ember or her accomplishments is also another way to get her all riled up.
** She also does not like being mistaken for a boy (which happens to her a lot).
* CharacterDevelopment: Later on in ''Risen Nemesis'', Ace shows to be a lot more emotionally mature than she lets on, as her 2nd duels with Jack and Elrod show.
* [[DoNotCallMePaul Do Not Call Me Alice]]: Does not like it when people call her Alice. The only exceptions seem to be those who are close to her.
* GamerGirl: She at least seems to be a ''very'' big fan of the ''Franchise/DevilMayCry'' series, as her argument with Kenshin shows.
* [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend He Is Not My Boyfriend]]: Says this about Kyon whenever others start getting the wrong idea about them. Although it is hinted that she may possibly reciprocate his feelings, but does not want to admit it.
* HotBlooded [=/=] HairTriggerTemper
* KillerRabbit: A lot of her monsters tend to be on the cute side (such as Rescue Cat and Sea Koala), but have very deadly effects that allow Ace to trump stronger ones.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: Her general appearance and personality causes a lot of people to mistake her for a young male.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The Masculine Girl to Kyon's Feminine Boy.
* OpenSecret: Her one-sided rivalry with Ember, which she frequently tries to deny but practically everyone on her team (and Kyon) already know about.
* RunningGag: Has a tendency to forget the names of people she meets and as a result causes her to mispronounce them, much to their dismay.
* [[SignatureMove Signature Card]]: Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest
* TheSlacker: A female example. Despite being a good Shadowchaser, Ace has a tendency to cut her shifts in order to enjoy herself and/or get into trouble that ends up being more than she can chew. As a result, Hyde and Faye mostly end up punishing her by doing mundane chores such as scrubbing the floors of their HQ.
* SoloSequence: In ''Tournament of Shadows'' wherein she is the only one in her team to partake in the 2nd Duelist Kingdom tournament.
* {{Tomboy}}: As her nickname, personality and choice of clothing would suggest.
** TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Faye's girly girl.
** TomboyishName: Compared to her real name "Alice".
* [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Trademark Favorite Drink]]: Tomato juice from the looks of it, preferably with ice.
* TrainingFromHell: During her apprenticeship days, though fortunately for her not to the extent of Barron's level.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A towards Kyon. It's even lampshaded by Kyon himself.
* UnknownRival: She considers herself to be Ember's rival, even though Ember doesn't know it (and the two have never met). Ace is jealous of the fact that, while they both entered the Shadowchasers at around the same time, Ember has accomplished a great deal more than she has. (One of her biggest goals in ''Tournament of Shadows'' is to duel Ember.)
* VitriolicBestBuds: In "Tournament of Shadows", she and Kenshin seem to turn into this within minutes of meeting each other, first getting into a heated argument over whether [[Franchise/DevilMayCry Vergil]] or [[Franchise/FinalFantasy Sephiroth]] is a better villain, then eventually hugging and making up, then the chapter ending with Kenshin playing a joke on Ace and Ace wanting to kill her.

!!Barron Diego

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersRisenNemesis'' (first appearance)

-----
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's actually a very competent Shadowchaser. Now if only he would stop spending most of his time flirting with women...
* ButtMonkey: At times.
* ChivalrousPervert: Despite that he hits on almost every women he sees (and keeps their numbers on a little black book), he reveals in one of his narrations that he truly cares and respects each and everyone of them.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite his off-goings and humorous quirks, you cannot deny that he is skilled at what he does.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite his monsters of choice, he is a really nice and friendly person (if not a bit perverted).
** Strangely, it also applies to his monsters, who seem to have picked up his personality and antics judging from how they act while on the field.
* HiddenDepths: It is later revealed that he has a grudge towards the Envie Shadowkind due to an incident that involved one of them harming his older sister.
* KnifeNut: A heroic example. He is known to carry a pair of knives with him at times.
* TheLegionsOfHell: Primarily uses Fiend monsters.
* TheMentor: [[spoiler: To Jack by the end of ''Risen Nemesis'']]
* RunningGag: He is frequently called a "ganguro" by several characters much to his dismay, to the point he gets curious on what it means. No one ever answers that question.
* [[SignatureMove Signature Card]]: Chaos King Archfiend
* TrainingFromHell: It's heavily implied that his apprenticeship days were like this. (His mentor later appears in ''Shadowchasers: Dark City Chronicles'', and his other students can vouch for this.)
* WildCard: Has several decks at his disposal, each with a different strategy. So far he has used: Dark Worlds, Fiend Beatdown, Kuribohs and Steelswarm.

!!Faye Heng-Ai

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersRisenNemesis'' (first appearance)

-----

* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler: It is revealed that she used to be a smoker like Hyde but dropped the habit a long time ago. When she finally reunites with Hyde and catches him smoking again towards the end of ''Risen Nemesis'', she doesn't scold him for it and actually asks for a stick herself in order to relieve herself with what she went through.]]
%%* OnlySaneWoman: Most of the time
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Despite her rather petite stature, she is quite capable of tossing and doing huge physical harm to characters who are a lot bigger than her.
* {{Qipao}}: Wears one as her standard attire (but with a jacket over it and bike shorts underneath).
* [[SignatureMove Signature Card]]: Guardian Angel Joan
* StarCrossedLovers: [[spoiler: With Sieg seeing as he was revived to serve Xue Yin.]]

A former member of the United States Marines who serves at one of the main characters of ''Torment'' and the narrator of ''Ascension''.

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTorment'' (first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersAscension'' (narrator), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows''(cameo only), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersConspiracy''

-----
%%* BaldOfAwesome
* CoolGun / RareGun: Carries [[{{Magitech}} an enchanted]] blunderbuss around.
* CoolOldGuy: Is said to be in his 50s but is still more than capable of holding his own against the toughest of Shadowkind, whether on the duel field or in combat.
* DealWithTheDevil: He enters something similar in the climax, and what makes it an unusual case is that it is ''his'' idea. [[spoiler: When Karl is injured and possibly dying from a powerful attack during the three-on-three duel with the Doomdreamers, Dugan makes an offer to the Triad, saying that if they heal Karl now enough for him to finish the duel, he'll wager his own soul on the outcome of the duel and promise it to Tharizdun if his side loses. They accept the offer; fortunately, Dugan and his two partners win.]]
** The original wager he made with the Flying Dutchman before he became a Shadowchaser might qualify (possibly better defined as ChessWithDeath) although this had a twist; the Dutchman actually won, but Dugan's true intent had been to stall until the sun came up, sinking his ship and rendering the Dutchman and his crew powerless.
* DemotedToExtra: Only makes a cameo appearance in ''Tournament of Shadows''.
* MechanicalLifeforms: Uses a Scrap deck. But this trope is subverted in that only a few of them are actually Machine-Types.
* TheMentor: Was Nichole and Karl's mentor during their apprenticeship and became Francis' mentor as of ''Tournament of Shadows''. (We can assume Francis graduated by the time he appears in ''Conspiracy''.)
* {{Narrator}}: Of ''Ascension''.
* OhCrap: Happens twice in ''Torment'' when Tiberius [[spoiler: summons Evil HERO Dark Gaia against him in both of their duels (although the second time was in a 3-on-3 duel.]]
-->[[spoiler: Dugan stepped back in fear. Sweat poured down his brow.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Tiberius''': Well… Judging by the look on your face, it seems I've finally managed to make the great Major Jacob Dugan loose his nerve…]]
** Then a few chapters later...
-->[[spoiler:'''Dugan''': No! Not that!]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Tiberius''': Seems I've made you lose your nerve again!]]
* SergeantRock: He's officially retired from the United States Marines, but he was clearly like this when on active duty.
* [[SignatureMove Signature Card]]: Scrap Dragon
* ScheherezadeGambit: While in the marines, he wagered his soul in a [[ChessWithDeath game of chess]] against the Flying Dutchman. Dugan lost, but it didn't matter, as his true plan was actually to stall for time until the sun rose, which caused the villain's ship to sink, crippling him ''and'' his crew.
* YouOweMe: Or rather, he promises that he ''will'' owe [[TheDon Taka Kyodai]] in exchange for his help.

!!Nichole Belvins
->''"I don’t know if I think you’re crazy or I’m starting to like you."''

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTorment'' (first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows'', ''FanFic/ShadowchasersConspiracy''

One of the main characters of ''Torment''. Nicole is unique in that not only is she a member of the Shadowchasers, but also a follower of the St. Cuthbert and a member of his House, a charity group that acts as a soup kitchen and homeless shelter. Prior to ''Torment'', her older brother Mark was part of a gang called the Blue Serpents until an incident occurred that led to him being framed for murder.

She later appears as one of the main characters in ''Tournament of Shadows'' as one of the Shadowchasers currently participating in the 2nd Duelist Kingdom tournament wherein she enters with the hopes of supporting St. Cuthbert's House.
-----
* AmazonianBeauty: She plays an Amazoness Deck, so most of her monsters qualify. Nichole herself might too, depending on who you ask.
* AmazonBrigade: Her monsters of choice tend to be the Amazoness archetype along with individual female monsters (with the lone exception being ''Dragonprince Jalal'').
* TheApprentice: Was Dugan's apprentice during her apprenticeship.
* BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler:Happens to her in "Torment" after losing to Lorelei, who turns her into a cat (something Lorelei often does to victims); she's rescued by Ben right before the curse becomes irreversible.]]
* ClearMyName: Not her own name, but a big reason for joining both the Shadowchasers and St. Cuthbert's House was to clear her brother, who used as a fall-guy for the Shadowkind crimelord Madison Vance and framed for murder. After she and the other Shadowchasers of Chicago apprehended Vance, she was successful.
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:A variation occurs in "Torment" after she loses to Lorelei; the Doomdreamer offers to still give her the antidote and spare her the effect of the BalefulPolymorph, ''if'' she willing submits and becomes her slave. Nicole's response to that is rather weak, but it's still a refusal.]]
* NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: In ''Tournament of Shadows'', a Blue Knight is intimidated by her, saying that he's "not comfortable around gals that are more ripped than" he is. Given her glum reaction afterwards, this sort of thing happens to her a lot.
* SecretWeapon: [[spoiler: Crescent Moon Queen, a very rare and powerful card given to her by her brother. She had dreamed of using this card against Sven, the leader of the Blue Serpents, whom she blamed for Mark going to prison; however, Dugan forbade her from confronting Sven in the raid against the Serpents, as doing so would have jeopardized the plan. Still, she was able to fulfill her dream at least symbolically; in the Temple of All Consumption, she was able to duel a replica of Sven when she was forced to reenact a fight that represented a major turning point in her life.]]
* [[SignatureMove Signature Card]]: Nichole has no signature card in particular but she does use Amazoness Queen a lot.
* SoloSequence: In ''Tournament of Shadows'' wherein she is the only one in her team to partake in the 2nd Duelist Kingdom tournament.

!!Karl Hudson

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTorment'' (first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersConspiracy''

-----
* AnIcePerson: Karl's deck is an Ice Barrier deck, as a way for him to cope with his fear of fire.
* TheApprentice: Was Dugan's apprentice during his apprenticeship.
* TheBusCameBack: He reappears in ''Conspiracy'', having earned his Masters Degree, [[TookALevelInBadass seemingly stronger than before.]] Whether he'll stay with the Chicago team permanently remains to be seen.
* ChildProdigy: Has known to be doing work beyond his age level since he was seven.
* CoolShades: Wears silver, opaque shades when he appears in ''Conspiracy''.
* MakingASplash: Only technically considering his monsters are all Water-attributed but have more of an Ice-theme instead. He does run general Water support however.
* MagicFromTechnology: According to Jemorille, as of ''Conspiracy'', he has advanced his skills to the point that he is now an actual techno-mage; he has not been shown using these skills yet, so the extent of what he can do is not known.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: At the end of ''Torment'' he leaves his team in order to continue his studies at a university, putting him on reserve status. He hasn't been seen since then, and by ''Tournament of Shadows'', the Chicago Shadowchasers have found a new member in his absence.]]
* {{Robosexual}}: Averted, thank goodness, although in ''Conspiracy'', when Jabels sees how human-like SAL's personality has become, he uses the opportunity to [[PlayedForLaughs make a joke about it]]:
-->'''Jabels:''' Just between you and me, Mr. Hudson, considering how long you and SAL have worked with each other, maybe you should just cut out the middleman and propose.
-->'''Karl:''' Jabels, seriously, I built her… She's more like a daughter to me. And I'd rather not start any crazy debates over what constitutes theoretical incest...
-->'''SAL:''' Besides, [[DeadpanSnarker I'd like to think I could do better than Karl.]]
* ScienceHero: Qualifies as this, possibly even more as of ''Conspiracy''.
* ScienceFantasy [=/=] SpaceOpera: What his new deck seems to be based on in ''Conspiracy''.
* [[SignatureMove Signature Card]]: The Ice Barrier Dragons in ''Torment''; in ''Conspiracy'', it appears (at the moment) to be Blackjammer.
* TheSmartGuy: Was the one who created SAL, the portable computer he carries around.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He has a fear of fire due to an unfortunate incident that he had when he was younger. It doesn't help that some of his opponents capitalize his fear by using Fire monsters against him.

!!SAL

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTorment'' (first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows'', ''FanFic/ShadowchasersConspiracy''

-----
* ArousedByTheirVoice: SAL is described as having a "very sexy female voice". Nichole once asked Karl why that was the case, in which Karl replies that it's natural for AI voices to have that kind of voice. (which Nichole doesn't get due to not being that much of a fan of science fiction.)
* BerserkButton: In ''Conspiracy'', she ''really'' hates being called a "thing" or an "object". In one chapter, Karl tells her he thinks he made her ''too'' lifelike.
* DistaffCounterpart: To HAL 9000 from ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''.
* LivingLieDetector: She has a function that allows her to detect the percentage of how truthful someone's statement is. [[spoiler: This allows Lareth to realize that the Triad have no plans at all to include him in their diabolical scheme.]]
* NonHumanSidekick: To Karl
* PutOnABus: Along with Karl, she left the franchise for several in-universe years while Karl was earning his MA, and was on reserve status.
** TheBusCameBack: Like Karl, she returns in ''Conspiracy'', and according to Jemorille, [[TookALevelInBadass has been upgraded.]]
* RobotBuddy: Technically, SAL is a portable computer, not a robot, but it has incredibly advanced AI, and acts as a companion with many uses.
* ShoutOut: To HAL 9000 from Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey.

!!Francis Mills

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTorment'' (first alluded to), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows'' (first official appearance, cameo only) ''Fanfic/ShadowchasersConspiracy'' (first full appearance)

Dugan's latest apprentice after Karl leaves to study at a university. Makes a brief cameo in ''Tournament of Shadows''.
-----
* TheApprentice: To Dugan, starting in ''Tournament of Shadows''. (Presumably graduated as of ''Conspiracy''.)
* AscendedExtra: He plays a much bigger role in ''Conspiracy.''
* BadassBiker: Well, ''all'' Shadowchasers with D-Wheels count, but Francis even more so, seeing as he was first runner-up in the AMA Motorcross Championship. (His opponents tease him for "only" coming in second, clearly not knowing how big an event that is.)
* {{Berserker}}: Literally. The tattoos let him enter ''hamrammr'', a mystical battle rage that gives him SuperStrength and incredible endurance and stamina. However, he can't enter it immediately. When activated, the moon above the dark elf maiden starts to eclipse; after it disappears, she collapses, and the bright maiden becomes a heroic, winged warrior in full armor. He can then enter rage any time he wants for the next hour. However, during that hour, the bright maiden's sun starts to set, and when it fully does, the dark one recovers and the bright one collapses, as does he. (From exhaustion.)
* TheCameo: In ''Tournament of Shadows''.
* ChekhovsGunman: Sort of. He was first alluded to (though not by name) during the epilogue of ''Torment'', but doesn't appear in person until ''Tournament of Shadows''.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent [=/=] ElementalPowers: His Dragon Deck centers around the four main Dragon Rulers, but has several unique cards that take advantage of them.
* ShoutOut: In his first appearance in ''Conspiracy'', he wears a t-shirt with a picture of the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' character Yosemite Sam.
* TattooAsCharacterType: His two tattoos - one on each forearm - probably mean something, but it's not known yet what. On one arm is a scantily clad elf maiden with eagle wings beside a golden sun-like image. The other arm seems to be a [[EvilCounterpart Dark Counterpart]] of the other, showing a scantily clad dark elf version of the same maiden, with bat like wings, beside an ominous moon image. It is eventually revealed that the tattoos are needed to enter berserk.

[[folder: Los Angeles branch]]

Introduced in ''City of Angels'', written by [=MichaelDJ54=]. They form the protagonists of that fic.
-----

!!Damian Ogitaka

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersCityOfAngels''( first appearance), ''Shadowchaing Crossroads''

The most agreed upon leader of the team, a hero with a dark past a loose cannon among the organization.
-----
* TheAtoner: He is a former member of the Sons of Tyranny.
* BadassLongcoat
* CoolShades
* CrazyPrepared: He shows signs of this. For example, when he duels Angua in a Turbo Duel, he anticipates facing a Special Pursuit Deck, and includes a copy of Remove Brainwashing in his deck.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Uses a Dark Counterpart Deck, along with a few fanmade cards he obtains midway through the fic, such as Dark Gear Golem and Dark Battle Ox. He does not use Dark Armed Dragon, however, for personal reasons.
* DrunkWithPower: [[spoiler:The reason he found Underground Dueling, the Sons of Tyranny, and being friends with Vlad, exciting at first. He eventually regretted all of it.]]
* InterspeciesRomance: [[spoiler:He once dated an ophidia named Sandra, who introduced him to Underground Dueling, which led to his association with the Sons of Tyranny. The relationship ended badly, but he very supportive towards the ophidia as a result.]]
* NoSenseOfHumor: Well, not usually, anyway.

!!Jerian Ohana

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersCityOfAngels'' (first appearance),

A member of the team and also a duelist in the Pro League, he is a skilled duelist and a deadly martail artist.
-----
* DisabilitySuperpower: Blindness has honed his other senses to near-supernatural levels.
* HandicappedBadass: He’s blind. What makes this even more remarkable is, ''he can actually pilot a D-Wheel'' despite it.
* HometownHero: This tends to be rare for Shadowchasers, because usually most Mundanes don't even know who they are. Jerian is a rare exception. Being in the Pro Leage seems to make him somewhat of a celebrity in LA, even among some Mundanes.
* IGaveMyWord: He promises to abide by Ankoku’s terms until the duel between them is complete. When she deliberately breaks the law by summoning a demon and he threatens to arrest her, she calls him out on this. He grudgingly agrees to it.
* GoodIsNotNice: He really has no patience for people who try to test it, and often uses muscle on crooks who do so.
* LightEmUp: Uses a Lightsworn Deck
* TheMentor: To Damien
* {{Samurai}}

!!Fourteen

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersCityOfAngels'' (first appearance)

A man with a mysterious past. Although he is officially a Shadowchaser, he doesn’t seem to officially be part of the team.
-----

%%* BadassInANiceSuit
* CombatPragmatist: Why fight monsters with some stupid sword when you can just blow them up?
* CasanovaWannabe: He seems this way. He tends to hit on everyone including the under-aged Jessica.
* JackOfAllTrades: He’s a specialist in many areas, one reason why he tends to work alone.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: ''Everyone'' says he looks ''just like'' Creator/SeanConnery. (He acts like him a bit too, or rather, some of his characters.)
* NoNameGiven: In fact, it's not clear yet why he's called "Fourteen".
* OhCrap: His reaction when he realizes just how strong Toguro is. (Basically, about ten times that of the average man.)
* SharpDressedMan
* StuffBlowingUp: His deck has a theme that focuses on explosions and bombs, and he uses a lot of real ones in non-dueling situations.

!!Scraps

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersCityOfAngels'' (first appearance)

A junk homunculus, and an honorary member of the Los Angeles team. Apparently, he and Damien met when Damien found him in a junkyard.
-----
* AmnesiacHero: Apparently, he doesn’t remember anything up to the time Damien found him in that junkyard. Where he came from or who built him, he doesn’t know.
* BadassLongcoat: Justified in his case, because the veil that conceals Shadowkind cannot hide him from Mundanes, he wears one along with a large hat when he goes out in public.
* {{Cameo}}: Makes one in ''Conspiracy'', where he picks up an order for Damien at the [[BurgerFool Pandora's Box]]; he mentions that Angua did so before, but ate half his fries on the way back.
* DeadpanSnarker: Well, at least he tries to be one. Oftentimes his non-human nature makes his attempt at humor somewhat lame.
* MechanicalLifeform: Along with being one himself, he uses Junk Monsters, including ones used by Kuzuyama in the anime. (The author has said that he does not have Yusei’s Synchros.)
* UndyingLoyalty: To Damien. He feels very bad after he’s injured in his first duel with Vlad.

!!Angua

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersCityOfAngels'' (first appearance)

Another unofficial member of the team and an officer in the LAPD, she met Damien after her abilities as a lycanthrope manifested at puberty causing a mad rampage. Her alliance with the Shadowchasers keeps the bestial side of her in check… Most of the time.
-----
* CowboyCop: Has a tendency towards this.
* DishingOutDirt: Her deck for Ground Duels uses Naturia monsters, which are an Earth-attribute tribe from the Duel Terminal storyline.
* EasilyForgiven: Her initial rampage nearly caused a mass-outbreak of lycanthropy in Los Angeles, and Damien had to convince Jalal not to hold her legally accountable. Of course, the condition for this is, he agreed to take responsibility if it happens again, one of the biggest reasons they are so close.
* FairCop: At least in human form.
* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: Well, more or less. (Werewolf, specifically. She’s more or less like the typical one when in beast form, but rather decent any other time.)
* WhatTheHellHero: She chews off Jessica after hearing about her attempts to investigate her old house without notifying anyone in the team, which almost got her killed by Lazarus if it weren't for Humphrey's intrusion.
* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Anger tends to cause her to revert to werewolf form more easily, so making her mad isn't wise.

[[/folder]]


[[folder: Boston branch]]

Introduced in ''Ascension''. The Boston Shadowchasers serve as the main protagonists of that fic. Since the American Revolution, Jalal has always ensured that the Boston branch was always a full team and formed out of some of the best members of the organization. [[spoiler: This is because Boston is the location where the key that would open Tharizdun's prison is located.]]
-----

!!Dante Connors

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersAscension'' (first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersConspiracy''

-----
* BigFancyHouse: Which he inherited from his parents when they retired. It also serves as the base of operations of his team.
%%* BlowYouAway: His Armed Dragon deck
* CrazyPrepared: He has six decks, one for each attribute and a [[spoiler: seventh deck (Light/Dark dragons)]]
%%* DarkIsNotEvil[=/=]MechanicalLifeforms: His Genex Ally deck.
%%* DishingOutDirt[=/=]PoweredArmor: His Earth Armor deck.
* DivineIntervention: [[spoiler: The Aesir give him a deck with their cards for his duel with Jalie. But it was only a one-time deal and the deck leaves him afterwards.]]
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: His Armed Dragon deck and his [[spoiler: Chaos Dragon deck]]
* LightEmUp: His Poker Knight deck.
* MakingASplash: His Frog deck as well as a Standard Water deck that he used while going undercover.
* MeaningfulName: Seeing as the BigBad of ''Ascension'' and his most important servants are natives of Hell.
* NiceHat
* OlympusMons: [[spoiler: Is temporarily given a deck containing Thor, Loki, and Odin for his duel with Jalie.]]
* PlayingWithFire: His Laval deck.
* SharpDressedMan: He always wears a white suit, tie, and stylish fedora.
* [[SignatureMove Signature Card]]: Super Soldier Armor Deluxe for his Armor Deck, King Wart for his Frog Deck. He has ace cards for all of his other decks but they remain unrevealed as yet.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: During his duel with Castalla, the Wicked Avatar [[spoiler: (actually Jalie Squarefoot)]] tries to tempt him to just kill Castalla then and there. Without a single witness, no one would know or judge him if he had done so. Dante refuses.
* YinYangBomb: His seventh deck, which is a [[spoiler: Chaos Dragon deck]]

!!Jebediah Johan Belmont (Jeb)

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersAscension'' (first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersConspiracy''

-----
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Honestly, "Jebediah Johan Belmont" is pretty cool.
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: Emphasized in his duel with Xon, in which he does something that devils have specialized in for eons: LoopholeAbuse. [[spoiler: Specifically, he sacrifices his Number 39: Utopia and another monster to Tribute Summon the Tyrant Neptune. Due to Neptune's effect, it gains Utopia's name, meaning that it technically is a Number, and is able to defeat Xon's Number 17: Leviathan Dragon in battle.]]
* ConfusionFu: Likes to fool his opponents into thinking he runs a Toolbox Warrior deck until he springs out his ace monster, which varies from duel to duel.
* IShouldWriteABookAboutThis: [[spoiler: Writes a book that's inspired by his team's ordeal with Jalie at the end of ''Ascension''.]]
* MonkeysOnATypewriter: While writing, he refrences this parable to describe demon society and explain why they have failed to win the Blood War, despite the fact that they vastly outnumber the devils.
* RapidAging: [[spoiler:Happens to him whenever he loses Life Points during his duel with Xon. Fortunately for him, it was only temporary.]]
* RunningGag: Duels devils who use the term "mortal" to him as an insult at least three times in ''Ascension''. He is not amused by this.
* [[SignatureMove Signature Card]]: Has one that changes every duel. But if you had to pick one, "The Grand Jupiter" is the most likely candidate, as it is the ace monster that's featured the most during his duels.
* TheSmartGuy: Is known to be very well-read as well as being a writer himself.
* WildCard: His deck looks like a Toolbox Warrior Deck at first, but always has a surprise in it, using a different ace monster each time (and occasionally more than one). He has been known to use most of the Legendary Planets, as well as several powerful - if unorthodox - Warriors, like Ogroth the Relentless

!!Ophelia Fyne

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersAscension'' (first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersConspiracy''

-----
* BerserkButton: She does ''not'' like to be called derogatory terms such as: "princess", "cupcake" or "doll-face".
* BigNo: Does a really big one when [[spoiler: it was presumed Dante was dead from the explosion caused by the Hellfire Sentinel's destruction.]]
* CordonBleughChef: Zigzagged in ''Conspiracy'', where she makes "shadar-kai-style ciambotta" to prepare for Karen and Wells' visit; tasting it causes her to develop HellishPupils and PointedEars, but neither she nor Dante seem to find that unusual.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite her overall dark appearance, she's a good person at heart. She even uses a Dark Ritual deck focusing on monsters like Demise and Zorc.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Can conjure this due to her shadar-kai heritage, but only when she's ''really'' angry.
* {{Goth}}: She tends to fit the description, with her black clothing and overall gloomy appearance, not to mention her knack for the occult as shown in her decks.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Her mother is a shadar-kai.
* HeroicBastard: Subverted in that her parents actually married but she still keeps her mother's maiden name (which she doesn't like.)
* HeroicSacrifice: A non-fatal example. [[spoiler: Towards the end of the triangle duel between her, Jeb, and Jalie, she uses a card to transfer her Comrade Sword of Landstar (that Jeb gave her due to his Final Offering card) back to Jeb in order for him to use it to finish the duel, at the cost of her remaining Life Points. The reason she survives is due to a small rule she insisted that Jalie brushed aside (see LoopholeAbuse below).]]
* HumanoidAbomination: The Remnant of Caiphon, a Synchro Monster that Brother Tion gives her, fits the description. (An incredibly rare case of a heroic character using this Trope.)
* LightEmUp: Her Light Ritual deck
* LoopholeAbuse: She un-intentionally pulls one when [[spoiler: she insists on the rule that there can only be a winner of the Shadow Game that Jalie puts her and Jeb through when both opponents are defeated. By the end, she loses the Triangle Duel but is spared from the consequences of the Shadow Game as a result.]]
* MakingASplash: Her primary deck, a Gishki deck.
* OhNoNotAgain: She has this reaction when Malanus uses Investment of Cania on her during their duel. (She had been a victim of it previously during the duel with Jalie, and it was hard to blame her. [[spoiler: Fortunatly she escapes the full effect this time.]])
* OldShame: InUniverse example. Her mother is in prison for pulling a reckless and dangerous stunt in an attempt to make herself known. (Something that many shadar-kai do, unfortunately. Their society is a meritocracy where the leaders are the ones who have achieved the greatest accomplishments.)
* OlympusMons: [[spoiler:Her Light Ritual deck contains Ma'at, which was given to her by her father shortly after her mother was arrested in the hopes that it reminds her no to end up like her mother (Where he got it, she has no idea.)]]
* SawStarWarsTwentySevenTimes: Has watched the movie ''Film/{{Beetlejuice}}'' about 18 times, and says it's still one of her old-time favorites.
* SecretWeapon: [[spoiler: Evigishki Psychlone and Evigishki Zealgigas. Ophelia always keeps them in her Side Deck and is always reluctant to use them because of her fear of them. Not on what they can do, but because of their background in that they supposedly led the Gishki tribe to their doom. She later gets over this and uses them in order for her and Jeb to defeat Jalie.]]
* [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]]: She proves to be quite knowledgeable about various things as well as being a competent sorceress herself.
* SummoningRitual: Her decks focus extensively on Ritual monsters.
* TeamChef: She's the one who cooks for her team and is extremely good at it as well.
* WhatsAHenway: She uses a remark like this to get through to Karen, when it's clear that she isn't convinced by their more logical reasoning about an assignment:
-->'''Karen:''' Sure, uhm, just one question… What’s ''Literature/TheScarletLetter'' about?
-->'''Ophelia:''' It’s ''about'' two-hundred pages, so you’d better get on it

These are Shadowchasers who either have a more important role in the organization as a whole (like Jalal), ones who're the only featured member of their teams (or ones whose branch is unknown), or those who aren't associated with a specific branch and either operate solo or travel around supporting other teams.

!!Jalal Stormbringer

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/{{Shadowchasers}}'' (first apppearance), All Shadowchaser stories

The immortal founder and leader of the Shadowchasers. About 1000 years ago, Jalal was the son of a powerful dragon called Jamor Stormbringer. But one day, Jamor's rival Malys sent an assassin to kill Jamor in his sleep, which resulted in him suffering endlessly and unable to die due to his immortality. In order to stop his father's suffering, he convinced his father to transfer his immortality to him. Afterwards he goes off to avenge his father. While he slays Malys, the assassin escapes after an attempt on his life. With his father's and Malys' fortune as well as a very long life ahead of him, Jalal creates the Shadowchasers, an organization that establishes the peace between humans and Shadowkind in order to have a purpose. He is the only character in the ''Shadowchaser'' series to make an appearance in all stories.
-----
* AscendedExtra: Despite how important he is, he played a relatively minor role in each story, until ''Soulscape'', where he was the star.
* {{Ambadassador}}: How do you get two races that are sworn enemies, who would use ''any'' excuse to fight each other (take elves and orcs, for instance) to stop fighting long enough to actually come to the negotiation table and then actually ''negotiate''? Jalal has acted as mediator for tougher cases than that, and actually succeeded.
* AssassinOutclassin: Although he is the only Shadowchaser not under the protection of the Knights of Domiel, he doesn't need it. Attempts on his life happen rather frequently, and almost none ever come close to succeeding. As he tells Taramanda, with a sarcastic tone, if a week goes by without it happening at least once, he thinks something is wrong. Ironically, Tarmanda almost succeeded in "Power Primordial", lacing her cards with a venom that, while incapable of actually killing him, could have reduced him to a vegetative state. The chapter in question pointed out that Jalal is somewhat prepared for the rare things that ''are'' lethal to him, having compiled a list of them after a close call many years ago.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The leader of the Shadowchasers and more than fully capable of kicking ass when it comes to dueling or in combat.
* BenevolentBoss: He is described by his men to be someone who'd "give you the shirt of his back". And considering where he shops, that's saying something.
* BerserkButton: One of the things he does not take kindly to is people who insult his mother with terms like "bitch".
* BigFancyHouse: His manor, which serves as a front whenever he interacts with Mundanes. (His real house is at Shadowchaser Headquarters; it's also big, but far more practical.)
* BigGood: He fills the role in every Shadowchasers story.
* {{BFG}}: Jalal's last resort is a magical [=M16A2=] assault rifle, which is known for being capable of killing the lord of the Nightmare Court.
* BreakTheHaughty: This happened once in the past, appearently. He was once considered himself nearly untouchable due to his immortality (something referred to as Baldur’s Complex among Shadowkind, after the Norse God who was nearly immortal, but perished due to the one thing that his mother overlooked when making him such) and a close call with a Sphere of Annihilation quickly made him realize otherwise. He learned from this, however, and spent a good deal of time researching any potential weaknesses an enemy could use.
* BystanderSyndrome:
** He was aware of several of the threats from ''Anime/YuGiOh'' and ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'', but decided they weren't the Shadowchasers' concern because they didn't involve any of Shadowkind. However, after seeing how dangerous several of them were, he's become wary and briefed the Shadowchasers on threats like The Seal of Orichalcos, The Light of Ruin, and Darkness.
** Averted when he ''did'' however, have the organization take a very active - though covert - role in combating Yliaster after Rex Godwin's death, as explained briefly in the [[WordOfGod author's guidelines]], and had a far-more drastic plan in place in case the Signers ultimately failed to stop Z-One.
* CelibateHero: As mentioned in one Shadowchaser File, Jalal has never married or ever been close to a woman. His reason is simple: if he let himself fall in love with someone, he would not only outlive her, but any offspring as well, likely causing him heartbreak. Thus, he has avoided relationships his entire life. The closest thing he's ever had to a family is his surrogate daughter Judy, the first exception he's ever made.
* CompleteImmortality: Not only can he not die, but any form of injury doesn't seem to faze him one bit.
* CulturedBadass: He has lived a very long life and is incredibly knowledgeable with things such as etiquette and art.
* ADayInTheLimelight: In ''Soulscape'', he was the star, [[spoiler:using technology to enter Hebi-Na's mind and release her from the curse of the Bells of Baphomet that forced the Shadowchasers to keep her magically asleep. This story was instrumental to her HeelFaceTurn.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: He's usually very serious, but he can be very sarcastic to people who annoy him.
-->'''Xvartnar''': Are you calling my job pointless?
-->'''Jalal''': No. The Battle of New Orleans was pointless, but it still made Andrew Jackson a hero. You’re just annoying.
* DrunkWithPower: This is the reason he avoids using his powerful magical assault rifle all the time, so that he can avoid being this. When Shichiro asks him why he still bothers with his sword, Jalal replies that whenever someone possesses a powerful weapon and becomes too dependent on it, they eventually start thinking they're invincible. He admits that everytime he's had no choice but to use his magical assault rifle, he feels a huge rush of power inside him, even thinking that he might as well put a huge "J" in front of his armor. As a result, he always makes sure to lock it away in order to avoid its temptation.
* EccentricMillionaire: Mundane humans who know about him regard him this way, and by the technically definition of "eccentric", they really aren't far off.
%%* FantasticRacism: He (and his organization) get accused of this every so often.
* AFatherToHisMen: Is incredibly protective towards his men.
** MachiavelliWasWrong: This practically defines his leadership philosophy, and is why disloyalty is almost unheard of among the ranks. He's tough, but never has to lead through intimidation, because everyone in the organization knows he can be trusted.
* {{Fiction500}}: Possibly fits the bill. After all, his wealth started with ''two'' dragon hordes, the one he inherted from his father and the one he took from Malys, and he's been profoting from investments for the past millennia. One source mentions that the bulk of his fortune is kept in a bank that only poweful magic users have access to where many actual gods store their funds.
* FirstNameBasis: He's like this with almost ''everyone'', whether they work for him or not, and it works both ways in most cases. Only the most formal people call him "Mr. Stormbringer" or any other title (other than "boss", on occasion). He doesn't call Dugan by his first name, but then, no-one does. Maybe he simply refrains from doing so in cases when he knows it offends someone like with Gears who ''hates'' his first name "Maurice".
* FromASingleCell: It is not known if his regeneration abilities are ''truly'' this powerful, but some have commented that he could recover from a small piece of flesh, or from burnt ashes. There are a few things that could truly kill him, like a Sphere of Annihilation.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Half-human, half-dragon
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Uses a Dragon deck. Jalal himself can also qualify.
* {{Knighting}}: This is how he officially inducts an apprentice as an official Shadowchaser. Complete with vows and finally ending it with a (non-painful) cut to their face with his sword, which creates the Shadowchaser mark that identifies them.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Could be considered this during his time.
* MadeOfIron: Due to his CompleteImmortality.
* MadeOfExplodium: An odd variation of the Trope occurs in "Twice Told Tales" during a very violent fight with a homunculus in which his blood his spilled. He ignites the spilled blood, showing it to be as volatile as GreekFire, which incinerates the creature. (He later claims that this "talent" came from his draconic helitage; apparently, dragon blood is a highly-flammable liquid if exposed to air for a certain amount of time.)
* MagicKnight: Describes him pretty well, as far as his own abilities go. His plate armor fits the trope even more as it's made from the hide of Malys, the red dragon responsible for his father's death.
* NeverLiveItDown: InUniverse examples
** There was a time in which he misidentified the minotaur Terra Ironhoof as a male (due to his assumption that minotaurs were a male-only species), which resulted in Terra pummeling him. This led to some people to call him "Jalal the Dragonblind". (In his defense, there had never been a confirmed report of a female minotaur before then; pretty much everyone assumed that they were AlwaysMale.)
** A more major and serious example is his loss to Vladimir Bloodletter and the incompetentcy the Shadowchasers showed during the incident.
* OldSchoolChivalry: He staunchly maintains this, even though he admits that it is becoming out of style. He seems to be one of the only Shadowchasers that cares about Hebi-Na after she is inflicted by the Bells of Baphomet, and volunteers to undertake the mission that could cure her on his own.
* OldShame: InUniverse Example. The incident with Vladimir Bloodletter for him and the organization as a whole.
* {{Omniglot}}: Having lived so long, he's learned many languages, both of human and Shadowkind origin, and as a result, often acts as a mediator in disputes among Shadowkind races. (In modern times, however, the Shadowchasers have invented a universal translator that makes linguistic skills unneeded. Still, it's a useful skill to have.
* PapaWolf: It's strongly hinted that he acts this way towards his ward Judy. Or he would, if she were ever threatened.
* PowerAtAPrice: It has been established that any mortal who achieves immortality will eventually be driven insane from his mind gaining more information than it was ever meant to hold. This was the biggest reason for Jalal's founding of the Shadowchasers, to give his life a purpose that would stave off madness for as long as possible. Considering the scope of his job, he's succeeded admirably thus far, but knows he cannot last forever, and hopes to retire soon, giving his immortality to an heir who is willing to take it. (His ward Judy is the most likely candidate.)
* Really700YearsOld: He's slightly more than a thousand years old, and does not age.
* RedPillBluePill: In ''Ascension'', he reveals that when he first set foot in America during 1789 to expand the Shadowchasers' operation, he met Unity-of-Rings - who offered him the task of keeping the knowledge of the location of one of the pieces of the key to Tharizdun's prison. If he refused, he would leave without any recollection of the knowledge and if he accepted, he would be promised the glories of heaven. Seeing that inhabitants of the Upper Plane rarely make such requests to mortals and saw it as a sign that he saw promise in his organization, Jalal agreed.
* SeriesMascot: Probably the most iconic character in the series considering how prevalent he is in every fic, including spin-offs.
* SonOfAWhore: What some of his detractors think of him as, or claim he is. This is a subversion, however; in truth, she was simply a farmer, and HappilyMarried to his father.
* SupremeChef: As stated in "Soulscape", this is one of many skills he's picked up over centuries of travel. He doesn't use it often (usually only cooking when Judy visits).
* TabloidMelodrama: He claims he has been a victim of this (usually from newspapers that only Shadowkind have access to) "since the printed periodical replaced the town crier". Claims that his mother was his father's love slave or part or a harem of them are common. It barely bothers him anymore.
* TheTeamBenefactor: He funds the entire organization and the needs of his men with his personal fortune, which is believed to be incredibly vast. It started out by inheriting his father's horde ''and'' taking that of Malys, but it has grown over the millennia due to careful investing.
* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: According to Shichiro, it's ''very'' hard to make Jalal angry... But if someone ''does'' manage to do so... ''Watch out''.

!!Sofia Witt

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/{{Shadowchasers}}'' (first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersConspiracy''

A Shadowchaser who belongs to a "free-floating" team stationed in Raleigh, North Carolina (once a major hotbed of dark supernatural evil) who is available as "free-floaters" to aid any team in the United States, she first appears in the original fic, then reappearing in ''Conspiracy''.
-----
* AscendedExtra: Appears to playing a much larger role in ''Conspiracy'' compared to her role in the original fic.
%%* BigBadassBirdOfPrey: Uses a Mist Valley deck along with other Wind monsters.
%%* BlowYouAway: Uses a Mist Valley deck along with other Wind monsters.
* TheBusCameBack: The first chapter of ''Conspiracy'', where it seems she plays a bigger role in the plot.
* IdenticalStranger: Her Mist Valley Falcon is described as having similar appearances with Sofia herself. Also, Philip's card Vala the Chaser looks a little like her too.
* InterspeciesRomance: With Philip, an elf.
* NiceHat: Wears a cowboy hat when not riding her D-Wheel.
* PutOnABus: Was not seen at all after the first fic, until...
* StarcrossedLovers: Her situation with Philip might be seen this way.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: Several years prior to the events of ''Conspiracy'', she and Philip were in love, but five years ago, he disappeared. In the first chapter of ''Conspiracy'', he reappears, and the feelings he has for her are clearly still there, but he either can't or won't renew their relationship for mysterious reasons obviously related to the plot of the story.

!!Hank Richards

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/{{Shadowchasers}}'' (first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersConspiracy''

-----
* AdventureArchaeologist: He knows a lot about both archaeology and paleontology, and his multiple decks reflect it, using cards resembling artifacts, fossils, and Dinosaurs.
* AlternateHistory: His second deck (used in ''Conspiracy'', is based around this, but goes ''much'' further back in time than most examples of the Trope, with monsters that explore possibilities that might have occurred had dinosaurs not gone extinct. His Battletitan is a card that suggests a possibility if they existed among mankind [[DomesticatedDinosaurs and were trainable]], while his Tyranno Octavius represents what would happen if they became ''the dominant species''.
* DishingOutDirt: Mainly uses Rock and Earth monsters.
* FossilRevival: In his first appearance, he uses Jim's Fossil Fusion monsters from ''Anime/YuGiOhGX''.
* ShutUpHannibal: When he finally gets fed up with Ezekiel's "fire and brimstone" sermon (which makes little sense) he responds with a far more inspiring quote from the Good Book: Psalm 23:4, right before he summons Jalal's card.

!!Douglas Bowmaker

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersPowerPrimordial Shadowchasers'' (first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows'', ''FanFic/ShadowchasersConspiracy''

A Shadowchaser from Scotland whose name has become quite legendary among the Shadowchasers as well as the caber toss champion at the Scottish Highland Games for five years running. Also makes an appearance as one of the contestants of the 2nd Duelist Kingdom tournament in ''Tournament of Shadows''.
-----
%%* BadassBeard
* BraveScot: ''Definitely''. When asked why he's a Shadowchaser, his response:
-->"Ah fight for family... For honor... For justice... ''An for Scotland!''"
* {{Expy}}: Of the Scotsman from ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'', as [[WordOfGod the author has stated]] (but with a dose of realism introduced).
%%* LargeHam: Probably his biggest fault.
* LivingLegend: He has a stellar reputation among the Shadowchasers, and he's earned it. One of his biggest accomplishments on the team was defeating the demonic Master of the Wild Hunt.
%%* ManInAKilt
* MightyGlacier: To give you an idea of how strong he is, he's been the caber toss champion at the Scottish Highland Games for five years running. Not an event for wimps. His deck also qualifies, as it focuses on summoning strong high-leveled monsters but take time to prepare before they can strike.
* WouldntHitAGirl: Says so in ''Conspiracy'', although he does when Emily dares him to enough, and even ''then'' he tries to pull his punches. (Unfortunately for him, [[PintSizedPowerhouse Emily is strong enough to take it,]] even when he tries again at ''full'' strength.)

!!Edgar [=McDonald=]

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTorment'' (first appearance), ''Fanfic/ShadowchasersAscension'' ''FanFic/ShadowchasersConspiracy''

A slightly elderly and experienced Shadowchaser who's origins are not clear. He has mentored at least six apprentice Shadowchasers at the time of writing, and hints of his extensive career are dropped now and then, Most recently, both he and Maddie seem to have a supporting role in ''Conspiracy''.
-----
* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: When talking to Maddie in chapter 3:
-->'''Edgar:''' “I’ve seen goblins, dark elves, death priestesses, zombies… I’ve seen dark elf death priestesses commanding mobs of goblin zombies, even…"
* CoolOldGuy: He's at least sixty-years old but is still quite fit and muscular for a man his age.
* DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu: He tells Maddie he “fought an erinyes temptress from Hell, outwitted another, and I think I might have ''dated'' another…”
* GladiatorGames: He also mentions that he “fought in the Hall of the Vanquished both as a prisoner of the place and a second time because I was invited…” (Interestingly enough, this place is also mentioned by Zanth in Tournament of Shadows, but he doesn’t describe it either.)
* LivingLegend: He has played important roles in several major conflicts in the past that his achievements in the organization would take a book to write about.
* TheMentor: He's had five apprentices before Maddie, but he doesn't seem to have taken a seventh yet.
* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: When he expresses his skepticism of TheGreys, Maddie mentions how ''his'' mentor was a Shadowkind wildlife expert who “said the very idea of a lycanthrope who turned into an animal that wasn’t at least partially carnivorous was absurd”, and then mentions an encounter with a were-gorilla in Niger. (Edgar admits it, but then adds that he was “under a rather odd ancestral curse."
* SealedEvilInACan: He uses an Exodia Deck in ''Conspiracy'', but Exodia doesn't seem to be all-too evil in this case; [[spoiler:when his opponent's cursed cards try to ''kill'' her, Exodia seems to ''save'' her.]]
* TrojanPrisoner: His plan for infiltrating Scath's temple. (Scath is on to him, unfortunately, but he does have a plan-B.)

!!Maddie Fulson

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTorment'' (first appearance), ''Fanfic/ShadowchasersAscension'' (Cameo) ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows'', ''FanFic/ShadowchasersConspiracy''

Edgar's sixth apprentice and (later) full-fledged partner. Also makes an appearance as one of the contestants in the 2nd Duelist Kingdom tournament in ''Tournament of Shadows''. She later appears, along with Edgar, in ''Ascension''. Later, they both appear in a larger role in ''Conspiracy''.
-----
* TheApprentice: She's Edgar student in ''Torment''. By ''Ascension'', she has graduated to full Shadowchaser status, and has become his partner.
* BeginnersLuck: It sure seems this way, seeing that she was able to defeat Scath (a lizard king and clearly no pushover) in a duel. (Scath likely demanded that she duel him rather than Edgar because she'd be easier to defeat and would be worth more as a sacrifice, a decision he later regretted.)
* MookMaker: Her deck's strategy focuses on her swarming the field with Token monsters for either her personal use or to her opponent's disadvantage. In ''Conspiracy'', this is expanded to including low-leveled Normal Monsters.
%%* PluckyGirl
* ZergRush: Her deck's strategy focuses on her swarming the field with Token monsters for either her personal use or to her opponent's disadvantage. In ''Conspiracy'', this is expanded to including low-leveled Normal Monsters.

!!Penelope Le Russe

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTorment'' (first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersAscension'', ''FanFic/ShadowchasersConspiracy''

-----
* AscendedExtra: Only had a minor role and appeared only in one chapter in ''Torment'', then later has a slightly larger role in ''Ascension''.
* AmazonBrigade: Her deck contains mainly female monsters, except for Quickdraw Synchron whom she seems to be fond off and Dragonprince Jalal, who is a mandatory card for all Shadowchasers (though she's never been seen using it).
* BadassInDistress: With Red Feather in one part of ''Ascension''.
%%* CanadaEh: Averted. She doesn't fit the stereotype at all.
* CouncilOfAngels: In "Conspiracy" her deck changes, and she uses a new archetype called "Divine Seraphs", Fairy-Type monsters [[ElementalPowers of varied Attributes]] that resemble beautiful, female angels. (She still retains Chevalier de Fleur, however.)
* FriendlyEnemy: With Emily, [[EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether her old classmate]], although Penelope only grudgingly accepts it. (Emily compares the two of them to Lupin III and Inspector Kouichi Zenigata from ''Franchise/LupinIII'', and it's hard for Penelope to deny it.)
* HalfHumanHybrid: Half-human, half-elf.
%%* LadyOfWar
* LovelyAngels: She and Red Feather become temporary partners during ''Ascension''. (The two seem to have become friends in ''Conspiracy'', hinting it might happen again.)
* MagicMusic: She is skilled at bardic magic, spells that are channeled through music. She uses panpipes as a focus.
* [[SignatureMove Signature Card]]: Chevalier de Fleur

!!Red Feather (formerly White Feather)

->'''Apperances''': ''FanFic/{{Shadowchasers}}''(Shadowchaser File), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersAscension''(first official appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersConspiracy''

-----
* TheAtoner: Her backstory. Though by the time she appears, she has already resolved it.
* BadassInDistress: With Penelope in one part of ''Ascension''.
* BerserkButton: She's an environmentalist, and therefore tends to get enraged at anyone who hurts or abuses wildlife. When Lorelei killed a faun in ''Ascension'', the fact that she was hunting where it was illegal was bad enough; the fact that it was clearly done for sport, leaving the carcass to rot, crossed the line. [[spoiler:As it turned out, Lorelei had ''wanted'' to make Red Feather angry, because she wanted to get her attention; Red Feather was her real target.]] However, she doesn't take it to the extreme like PETA does and hates it when she is compared to them.
* ChekhovsGunman: Was first mentioned in a Shadowchaser file before making a full-fledged appearance in ''Ascension''.
* FamedInStory: A rare case where this Trope applies to a character who does ''not'' like it. As stated in ''Conspiracy'', she has more admirers than she cares for, and while she stays away from computers, other Shadowchasers have told her about [[RuleThirtyFour "deviations" being made in her "honor"]] on Website/DeviantArt. (Apparently, even second-hand descriptions tell too much.) She tries very hard to ignore them.
%%* FusionDance: Uses an Elemental HERO deck.
* IWorkAlone: When she appears in ''Conspiracy'', she tells Penelope that the incident in ''Ascension'' was "probably the first time I ever worked with a partner".
* LiteralMinded: She doesn't get figures of speech. When Emily calls her "sister" as a term of endearment, she replies, "I'm not your sister."
%%* LovelyAngels: With Penelope during ''Ascension''.
* LuddWasRight: She holds this philosophy, more or less, but isn't as extreme as most examples, disliking technology and seeing it as a key reason for the pollution and damage to the environment. (She does use a Duel Disk and an old Jeep Wrangler for transportation, but it is stated she doesn't even like using ''those''.)
* MeaningfulRename: She used to go by "White Feather", which was a symbol of purity she desired to restore nature to. After her naivete caused her to recruit members to her environmentalist group that later caused an act of eco-terrorism and being punished for it, she started calling herself "Red Feather" after joining the Shadowchasers, because the color white could no longer fit her, and to remind her of the pain that she went through in order to lose her naivete.
* [[NatureHero Nature Heroine:]] Cherishes nature and uses a Nature-themed Elemental HERO deck. She later reveals a Plant Princesses deck.
* NoNameGiven: Whatever her real name is, she doesn't use it anymore.
* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: Since she disdains technology, she has almost no knowledge of pop culture. When her athletic moves were compared to Franchise/IndianaJones, she thought she was being insulted. Later, she gives no reaction to monsters that resemble classic horror movie monsters like Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster.
* ReformedCriminal: Not really a criminal, but when she first arrived on Earth, she was a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter and naively allowed a group of extremists to join her environmentalist group which led to her taking the blame for an act of eco-terrorism that they caused in her group's name. During her sentence, she learned about the Shadowchasers and after being released, asked Jalal if she could join the organization so that she could protect nature under their guidance, an offer that Jalal accepts.
* [[SignatureMove Signature Card:]] Elemental HERO Terra Firma and Elemental HERO Absolute Zero.
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: Uses a bow rather than the sword that is typical of other Shadowchasers. (She ''is'' an elf.)

!!Leslie Garret

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/{{Shadowchasers}}'' (mentioned in Shadowchaser File), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersDragonLords''(first appearance, original version), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersAscension''

An organization that the Shadowchasers are closely allied with is Morgana’s Kin, who are devoted to planar and dimensional exploration. Leslie is the current Shadowchaser representative, so she belongs to both organizations at once.
-----
* {{Ambadassador}}: She usually fulfills the role of mediator between the two organizations, but she’s more likely able to fight if she has to.
%%* BadassBookworm
%%* [[BrainyBrunette Brainy Redhead]]
* DarkIsNotEvil[=/=]MechanicalLifeforms: It is mentioned that she runs an Allies of Justice deck, which are Dark-Attribute Machines, and a good example of this Trope themselves. Although, the only instance wherein she dueled was in the original version of author Ruin, Queen of Oblivion's ''Shadowchasers: Dragon Lords''.
* TeleportSpam: Not as much as some well-known examples of this trope, but apparently, all members of Morgana’s Kin have the ability to teleport themselves to some degree, mostly for dimensional travel. Exactly how skilled Leslie herself is at it is unknown.
* WrenchWench: She seems to be no slouch around machines, as she’s able to repair the engine of the {{Steampunk}} dirigible she uses to transport the Boston Shadowchasers through the Outlands.

!!Voltaire Amore

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersDanseMacabre'' (first appearance)

The main protagonist of ''Danse Macabre'', he is an experienced veteran Shadowchaser.
-----
* BunnyEarsLawyer: It's pretty clear there's something... not quite right about Voltaire, but it's hard to deny he's an excellent duelist and an equally capable Shadowchaser.
* CoolPet[=/=]HeroicDog: He owns a {{Hellhound}} named [[ShoutOut Basker]][[SherlockHolmes ville]] which is as strong - and as fast - as a horse and can actually be ridden like one.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite his sinister attire, mysterious background and preference for Zombies, Voltaire quickly shows himself to be a deeply kind man at heart, wanting nothing more then to return Alice to her family and to stop Palethorn's schemes.
* DeadpanSnarker: A StepfordSmiler too, often making light of the most dangerous situations.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: He does this a lot, insulting incredibly powerful creatures like Palethorn ‘’and’’ Argol. Of course, given what he claims about his past, he may well be able to back up at least some of his words.
* DemBones: One deck he uses is a Skull Servant Deck.
** ComedyAsAWeapon: He also has a Toon Deck
* IWorkAlone: Unlike most Shadowchasers, he does not seem to be a part of any team, at least not at present.
* MrExposition: He even lampshades it at one point, claiming he “feels like Wikipedia”.
* NoodleIncident: He’s full of them. For example, was an incident with a giant squid, which he refuses to elaborate on, because his former apprentice threatened him with bodily harm if he ever told anyone about it (and to this day, she can't look at a plate of calamari without blushing, he claims).
* SherlockScan: He actually uses this in a duel in chapter three to correctly identity two of his opponent's set cards through pure deductive reasoning, and then forces him to discard both using a spell card. His opponent is understandably flabbergasted.
* WorthyOpponent: Oddly enough, Voltaire seems to have this view of ''most'' of his opponents regardless of their nature. He describes Adleg as being a Zombie duelist whose skills possibly equal his own, and shows a great deal of compassion to both him and Blackborn after their respective defeats.

!!Bruno von Klein

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersMiscellaneousFiles''(first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows''

A Shadowchaser from Munich, Germany currently participating in the 2nd Duelist Kingdom tournament. He first appeared in a story in the anthology series ''Shadowchasers: Miscellaneous Files'' and is now a main character in ''Tournament of Shadows''.
-----
* {{Acrofatic}}: He's described as rather portly, but proves far more agile then he appears in ''Tournament of Shadows''.
* AliceAllusion: The theme of his deck. Almost all the cards are Limited Edition cards inspired by characters and situations from Creator/LewisCarroll's works. The card art on his Spell and Trap Cards are actual black-and-white reproductions of John Tenniel's illustrations. Serious ArtisticLicense is taken with a few of the Monsters (such as the Queen of Hearts, who appears as a [[EvilIsSexy evil beauty]] rather than the frumpy old woman in Carroll's work. Also, see ShoutOut below.)
* ClingyMacGuffin: A new addition to his deck in ''Tournament of Shadows'' is the "Alice in Despairland" card. The card's effect is rather mediocre - possibly even weak - but he seems to be a little ''too'' attached to it, and his personality has changed since he got it. (See "Non-Shadowchaser Protagonists Allies" for full details.
* BadDreams: He seems to be suffering from these in ''Tournament of Shadows''. [[spoiler: To elaborate, he frequently dreams of seeing his teammates, Jalal and everyone else around him [[TakenForGranite turned into stone.]] The same almost happens to him, if not for a strange girl (actually the girl featured in the "Alice in Despairland" card) that appears to him and stops the process.]] It is because of these dreams that cause him to seek his "Alice in Despairland" card. But even though he already has it, the dreams have yet to stop appearing...
* BilingualBonus: His clown name, Alberno, translates roughly to "Silly-O".
* TheCorruption: This appears to be what his "Alice in Despairland" card is doing to him in ''Tournament of Shadows'' but to what extent is currently unknown. In duels, while it's in his Graveyard, any of his monsters than benefit from its effect seem to become more sinister than they normally are.
* FriendToAllChildren: He does charity work at a children's hospital, performing as a clown (the charity he is playing for in the tournament).
* HeroicWillpower: He claims that one reason Alice's curse doesn't affect him as much as it did previous owners is because Germany has proportionately more joystealers than anywhere else, and he successfully fought and cured three dozen of them in his career. (It's through experience.)
* SharpDressedMan: Wears a suit in ''Tournament of Shadows''.
* [[SignatureMove Signature Card]]: Alice, the Warden of Wonderland
* ShoutOut: Alice, the Warden of Wonderland's current appearance is based on how Alice appeared in ''VideoGame/AmericanMcGeesAlice''. (This has been confirmed by the author.)
* SoloSequence: In ''Tournament of Shadows'' wherein he is the only one in his team to partake in the 2nd Duelist Kingdom tournament.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Mild example. While he still maintains his general nice personality, his teammates have noticed that he seems to be a different person in ''Tournament of Shadows'' compared to how he acts in ''Miscellaneous Files''. Even other characters note that there is something about him that seems off.

!!Masaharu Gomi

->'''Apperances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows'' (first appearance)

A Shadowchaser from Seoul, South Korea who is currently participating in the 2nd Duelist Kingdom tournament. First appears as one of the main characters in ''Tournament of Shadows'' and is also currently Ember's traveling companion for the 2nd Duelist Kingdom tournament.
-----
* FriendToAllChildren: He frequently gives out treats to children in an orphanage. Said children absolutely ''adore'' him.
* HeroWorshipper: Towards Ember to some extent. He says that he had studied her career since he joined the organization and was honored to meet her when they first meet in the boat leading to the island where the tournament would take place.
* HumbleHero: He regards an incident in which he saved Seoul from a horde of gibberlings as "no big deal", even though it likely would have been a catastrophe if he hadn't prevented it.
* LightEmUp [=/=] StarPower: Uses a Constellar deck, which is made up of Light-Attribute monsters modeled after the stars of the WesternZodiac.

!!Leroy Swartz

->'''Apperances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows'' (first appearance)

A Shadowchaser from Berlin, Germany who is part of the roaming division and the R&D and is currently participating in the 2nd Duelist Kingdom tournament. First appears as one of the main characters in ''Tournament of Shadows''.
-----
* DemotedToExtra: Unfortunately due to an injury he suffered, (See RealLifeWritesThePlot below for more information) Leroy's involvement in the tournament has been reduced significantly leaving him relegated to a spectator.
* NonActionGuy: Compared to most Shadowchasers, he focuses primarily on research and development. Jill Chambers basically describes him as a Shadowchaser equivalent of a "desk-jockey".
* FusionDance[=/=]PowerCrystal: He uses a Gem-Knight deck, an archetype where Fusion Monsters are the most potent weapons among the Rock-Type fighters.
* GameBreakingInjury: His injury in Chapter 9 causes him to be out of the tournament prematurely.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Because of his creator Lux-Nero leaving for personal reasons, Leroy gets injured leaving him unable to compete in the tournament, resulting in Kenshin filling in for him in his place.
* SkunkStripe: Has a single white streak on the right side of his hair.
* StuffBlowingUp: Has a tendency to make things in the basement he's staying in blow up, much to his landlady's dismay.

!!Baba Yaga

->'''Apperances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows'' (first appearance)

A mysterious old woman currently participating in the 2nd Duelist Kingdom tournament. Other than the fact that she is a Shadowchaser who appears to be from Russia, not much is known about her. First appears in ''Tournament of Shadows''.
-----
* BerserkButton: Very easy to press, apparently. She seems to get angry at everything.
* BoisterousWeakling: No matter how many times she loses, she continues to boast that she's a master duelist. Her opponents comment that she'll never get ahead with her generic toolbox decks.
* ButtMonkey: So far in ''Tournament of Shadows'', she's lost every on-screen duel she was in and nobody takes her seriously. She wins a few times offscreen against nameless characters to keep from being eliminated.
* CurbStompBattle: We only see bits and pieces of every duel she's in, but she tends to be ''clobbered'' in all of them. (Especially the first, which was a SquashMatch to show how powerful Serket was.)
* GoodIsNotNice: Presumably she on the good guys' side, as the Mark of the Shadowchasers is clearly visible. Nevertheless, this would be a case where Good is Downright Rude.
%%* LargeHam: She appears to be one.
* PlayfulHacker: After being beaten by CARDTECH, she hacks into [[spoiler:Johanna's]] system to reveal its true identity to Bruno, Nichole, and Sonya to get even. (No-one realizes that she's the one who did it, but Sonya does note that a SoreLoser who could have hacked a system like that could likely have - and would - done much more, such as disable the Duel Disk or worse, hinting at HiddenDepths in Baba Yaga.)
* ScaryTeeth: She wears fake teeth that appear rotted, black, and sharpened.
%%* ScrewPolitenessImASenior
* SuperSpeed: In a rate that's impossible for someone her age.
%%* ThirdPersonPerson
* YouNoTakeCandle: She tends to talk like this a lot, although again, [[ObfuscatingStupidity there are hints she's doing it on purpose.]]

!!Mr. Z

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows''(first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersConspiracy''

A mysterious man about whom little is known, he apparently answers only to the Shadowchasers Council and Jalal himself. As a contestant in the Tournament, his job is to keep an eye on things by Jalal, who is GenreSavvy enough to realize it may be NotJustATournament. More of his origins are revealed in ''Conspiracy'', including that he is a native of Liverpool.
-----
* BloodOath: He and Monika did something like this sometime in the past, which seems to let them communicate with each other through empathy and possibly telepathy.
* {{Expy}}: No, [[BlatantLies he most certainly was never intended]] to be a Shadowchasers version of Film/JamesBond, as Kenshin [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial conveniently points out in one preview monologue.]]
* GuileHero: He starts out as one in ''Tournament of Shadows'', using only words to make his foe angry and get the information he needs, but he proves more than capable of fighting in ''Conspiracy''.
* IShallTauntYou: His goal during his duel with Zanth is simply to make him so ''angry'' that he gives away information he shouldn't. (The fact that Zanth has a HairTriggerTemper helps.)
* NoNameGiven: His name is classified, although he calls himself Edward while dealing with Zanth.
* OddFriendship: With Monika. The only reason he'll give for it is, she "owes me more than you could ever imagine".
* RiddleMeThis: He claims to have outwitted a RiddlingSphinx once who cheated using a riddle that was a MortonsFork for the intended victim, and it is the theme of a deck he uses in ''Conspiracy''.
* ThrowingTheFight: He loses to Zanth on purpose (but only makes him angrier, because Zanth is unable to solve his last riddle) so that he can slip him a listening device (a "bug") disguised as one of the award coins. And it pays off.
* {{Valkyries}}: The theme of his deck, at least the one he uses against Zanth.

!!Sonya Clarkson

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersMiscellaneousFiles'' (first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows''

A Shadowchaser from the Twin Cities, she first appears in ''Miscellaneous Files'', and is later seen competing in ''Tournament of Shadows''.
-----
* TheLegionsOfHell: Her deck is made up of the Dark Fiends of Dark World Deck.
* NoodleIncident: She has ''lots'' of them. She recounts to Nicole an incident where encountered a "very confused wererat" who claimed he was a were-Tasmanian devil (marsupial lycanthropes don't exist) and another incident where she "met" Terra Ironhoof, but won't give the details. (Terra herself is a figure with a near-mythic reputation among the Shadowkind community, being an in-universe MemeticBadass where it's hard to distinguish myth from reality.)


!!Greg Somier

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTournamentOfShadows'' (first appearance)

A young Shadowchaser from Montreal, he's first seen competing in ''Tournament of Shadows''.
-----
* BitCharacter: For now, it seems like his only purpose - to date - was to show how powerful a duelist Tohru is. (He didn't do too bad, so this may change in the future.)
* CanadaEh: Born and raised in Montreal, and proud of it. He seems to be close friends with Penelope.
* MechanicalLifeforms: His deck uses Gadgets in order to summon powerful double-Tribute Machines monsters.
* PatrioticFervor: He ''really'' gets angry when Tohru says bad things about Canada, so much that he's sort of BullyingADragon and not knowing it. Fortunately, Tohru can hold his temper.
* TagalongReporter: More like an aspiring one, but he ''does'' have a blog and newsletter, and seems to be reporting the tournament on both, even as a contestant.



!!Ashla Da'rok
-->"Puts a whole new spin on the phrase Deal with the Devil."

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersAllHallowsEve''(first appearance)''Fanfic/ShadowchasersPhobos''

A Dark Elf Shadowchaser that is assigned to Atlantic City, she first appears in ''All Hallows Eve.'' Ashla was born the daughter of her clan's matriarch, who promised her to the Goddess Lolth, however later in life she did a HeelFaceTurn against her clan and Lolth. She later joined the Shadowchasers after killing members of her former clan in self defense.
-----
%%* [[AntiHero Anti-Heroine]]: Considering her past, she qualifies to an extent.
* TheAtoner: May qualify because of her past; all that is known is that her separation from her clan was not pleasant and resulted in a few deaths.
%%* BadassLongcoat
* ChekhovsGunman: She was first mentioned in one of the Shadowchasers Files.
* DarkIsNotEvil:
** She is a Dark Elf and a member of the Shadowchasers.
** Her Infernity and Darklord (only mentioned in her Shadowchasers File) decks could qualify.
* DarkMessiah: Subverted because she turned on Lolth.
* ADayInTheLimelight: ''All Hallows Eve'' and ''Phobos'' are both this for her.
* DealWithTheDevil: Was unwillingly entered into a deal with Lolth by her mother prior to birth.
* {{Goth}}: Dresses in this style.
* HunterOfHerOwnKind: Potentially when being a Shadowchaser ever pits her against other Dark Elves.
* {{Joisey}}: She's the most powerful Shadowchaser presence in the state, it seems.
%%* LadyOfWar
%%* MyHeroZero: One of the decks she uses is an Infernity deck.
* ReformedCriminal: Joined the Shadowchasers after being released from prison.
* ShoutOut:
** Quoted ''ComicBook/VForVendetta'' to Cortyge.
** The concept of a Dark Elf for a hero may be one to Drizzt Do'urden of ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms''.
* ThatOneCase: The murders committed by Strakh becomes this for her.
* WalkingTheEarth: Did some soul searching between her HeelFaceTurn and joining the Shadowchasers.

!!Alyssa Daniels

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTheEldritch'' (first appearance)

A half-elf Shadowchaser from Great Britain introduced in ''The Eldritch''. Alyssa has been in the Shadowchasers for at least ten years, and was one of the Shadowchasers who confronted a werewolf in Bath ten years prior to the events of ''The Eldritch''. Despite her skill and experience, she is somewhat notorious for being a stubborn lone wolf.
-----
* BloodKnight: Implied by her reaction to breaking glass being to smile and run towards it.
%%* ElementalEyeColors: Her green eyes clearly reflect her chosen deck.
%%* GreenThumb: Her Sylvan deck
* HalfHumanHybrid: Half human, half elf.
* HiddenDepths: When she was younger, she used to paint.
* IWorkAlone: She insists that she doesn't need Cox's help.
* MyGreatestFailure: Looks back on her hesitation when confronted by a child when hunting down a dark sorcerer to be this.
* OlderThanTheyLook: It's unclear how old she actually is, given that she doesn't appear to have visibly aged in the decade since Cox last saw her.
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Reflects on this in Duel 2, placing herself firmly in Lawful.

!!Frederick Luther,

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersPowerPrimordial'' (file), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersConspiracy'' (first actual appearance)
* One of a team of Shadowchasers operating out of Cleveland (the others have not been seen) Luther is one of two vampires in the organization, Fayte being the other; unlike her, he was born on the Homeworld of Shadow. He's known Fayte for quite a while - and the two don't seem to get along. Nonetheless, a crisis during ''Conspiracy'' requires them to cooperate.
-----
%%* BadassLongcoat
* BadassNormal: He's anything ''but'' normal, but his deck uses Fiend-Type Normal Monsters to great effect to summon powerful Xyzs.
* BreakThemByTalking: Luther is able to bring Drumer to the breaking point by thrusting a horrible realization upon him: If evidence indeed exists that could clear Benedict Arnold's name, and yet, he chose to flee to England rather than surrender to the Colonial Army and lead them to it, then Drumer is actually braver and more dedicated to his goal than Arnold ''ever'' was. He's willing to do anything, commit any crime and risk any punishment to clear the name of a man who, if this evidence exists, was a coward. Drumer doesn't take it well...
* ChekhovsGunman: Was first mentioned in a Shadowchaser file before making a full-fledged appearance in ''Conspiracy''.
* DarkIsNotEvil: He's a vampire, and fights the forces of darkness alongside the other heroes. But he's not all-too friendly eiher.
* GoodIsNotNice: Not the same Fayte fits the Trope, however. In this case, it's a case where Good is downright ''grim''.
* KnightInSourArmor: This was even mentioned in his File; his race's reputation has made him somewhat bitter, and he's not as optimistic about vampires ever recovering as a race or gaining much respect from humans.
* KnifeNut: Rare heroic example. He carries several throwing daggers in his coat and has ''uncanny'' aim using them.
* NoodleIncident: As yet, it has not yet been revealed what happened in the past between him and Fayte that made them dislike each other.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Fayte's Red.
* RousseauWasRight: Given what he tells Fayte at the end of chapter 22, he seems to agree with Rousseau at least partially, and believes the biggest problem the Grand Generals had was that they were cynics who thought [[HumansAreMorons Humans were Morons]].
* TheStoic: Very much unlike the energetic, flamboyant Fayte. He rarely smiles or raises his voice, but he ''can'' frighten someone with the right tone.
* TookALevelInBadass: The Xyzs themselves are upgraded, powerful versions of cards that are considered VendorTrash by most duelists these days, like [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/King_of_Yamimakai Savage Emperor of Yamimakai]], [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Metal_Guardian Black Steel Guardian]], and [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Performance_of_Sword Lady Dervish]].
* VegetarianVampire: As stated in his file, he tries hard to avoid preying on living humans, surviving by buying blood from butcher shops and medical suppliers. Indeed, he does not seem to particularly enjoy (or purposely encourage belief in) his species' dark and sinister reputation as she does.

!!Martin Jabels

->'''Appearances''': ''FanFic/ShadowchasersPowerPrimordial''(first appearance), ''FanFic/ShadowchasersSoulscape'', ''FanFic/ShadowchasersTorment'', ''FanFic/ShadowchasersConspiracy''

Originally introduced as Jalal's right-hand assistant, Jabels makes several cameos before having a larger role in ''Conspiracy'', where it is confirmed his position in the organization is much more important than previously believed. Both a Shadowchaser ''and'' a Hand of Pelor, he can be a force to be reckoned with.
-----
* AscendedExtra: His roles up to ''Conspiracy'' have all been cameos, but he has a larger part in said fic.
* ChurchMilitant: Sort of. As a Hand of Pelor, he's ''supposed'' to be this, traditionally, but as he tells Oswald, “Things simply aren’t done the way they were in the old days."
* CoolOldGuy: Given his claim that he was in the British Army as a young man during the War in Afghanistan, that would make him sixty years old or so.
* ThePowerOfTheSun [=/=] HolyHandGrenade: The theme of his deck combines both, representing Pelor, the Shadowkind God of the Sun. He even has a card - likely custom made - called Burning Orb of Pelor, which is the key to defeating Oswald.
* StiffUpperLip: He's a textbook example around people he likes. (But can change to BritishStuffiness rather quickly when around someone he doesn't.)
* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: When Oswald asks him straight out why he and the other Shadowchasers believe all the IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim stuff, Jabels says he has killed a ''lot'' of people, telling him about his days as young soldier during the War in Afghanistan, and how he felt no pleasure in what he had to do at all. Unfortunately, as he predicted, it falls on deaf ears.
