Added DiffLines:

* {{Irony}}: Multiple layers of it. He was drinking buddies with the same guy whose habit ended up killing him - Carl Kesper. And it seems going by the diary entries, they knew each other rather well. Both had a bit too much to drink one night - the same kind of situation that would end up killing Arthur.


Added DiffLines:

* ParentsAsPeople: Arthur had quite a social life, up to and including having a morbidly ironic drinking buddy. Occasionally getting too involved in drink due to complications of life in Sandfield.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Jackson's past is...unpleasant. He was adopted into a family that turns out to be big and screwed up, possibly saw his mother (the one figure of kindness in his life) dragged out in a tarp covered in blood, indoctrinated into self hatred and dealt with his issues by drinking, sleeping around, and concocting a secondary persona. If his father isn't neglectful he's cruel, and every day Jackson deals with paranoia about his dad figuring out he's bisexual, and possibly ''killing him''. Small wonder he's a neurotic, armored closeted mess.
** It's even further implied that Carter is blackmailing him, and this isn't the first time he was left paying someone not to say something or ''do'' something. Disturbingly enough, he seems to think its normal for friends to extort each other for services.
* DropTheHammer: Jackson was cornered and left with just his surrogate father's blacksmithing hammer as his cousin demanded that he hand over the estate, the very hammer itself, and leave. Jackson...responded by ''giving his Gibbs Aligned relative the hammer'' in another way.

* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Starts off the roleplay monomaniacaly obsessed with all things supernatural. After being introduced to what is actually behind the masquerade, he soon craves utter normalcy.

His newfound appreciation for his ordinary life leads to him becoming far more cheerful than he was even at the beginning of the roleplay. [[SubvertedTrope Sadly, this is undone by the BrokenMasquerade]].

* CreepyShadowedUndereyes: Becca's character art shows that the little bit of her face uncovered includes dark circles under eyes.



* {{Hammerspace}}: Becca has the ability to summon the Weathers Tome whenever she needs it, and send it away so she doesn't have to carry it everywhere
* PowerStereotypeFlip: Despite primarily using ice magic, Becca is noted as having a bullheaded and choleric personality.

everywhere.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Becca's top priority is to open a Hazard Gate and get past the Green Wall. What's happening inside Sandfield isn't much of a concern for her. The only reason she's working with the 317th Brigade is because they're trying to find out about the demons interfering with said gates, and even then she's made it clear she fully intends to move on once they can't help her get out of Sandfield.
* PowerStereotypeFlip: Despite primarily using [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]]. Becca uses ice magic, Becca and is aloof about the efforts to save Sandfield, caring more about finding a way past the Green Wall and would prefer to do so by herself. On the other hand, she is noted as having a bullheaded and choleric personality.

[[folder: Sam Delaney]]

The 317th's head doctor, Sam Delaney started the first RP as one of many characters to watch the beginning of the occupation. After the three months, Sam is now a member of the 317th, having undergone a physical change like most of them.

* GentleGiant: Even among the muscled 317th young men, Sam is a big one. He's also one of the nicest.
* MartialPacifist: Sam prefers to not hurt anyone, and the ferocity of the 317th's soldiers seems lost on him...though he still carries a monstrously huge mace that he wields easily. "I prefer to heal...but if I must cause harm to head off more harm, I will."

magic. This trajectory continues with his reappearance in Shadows of Sandfield II, in which he has joined the militia.


Added DiffLines:

[[folder: Carter Bristolm]]

Starting out as merely a prickly member of the school football team, Carter turned out to be much more unpleasant. Engaging in blackmailing Jackson White over his sexuality, joining the Umbral Horde first as a Junior Horde member, eagerly answering to Kellon Nyczus, Carter took any opportunity to advance himself...which leads into his reappearance in Shadows of Sandfield II, in which he has joined Scythirax as an understudy.

* BastardUnderstudy: Multiple times, even! He'd studied under Xander, willingly subordinated himself to Kellon, and now is working for Scythirax the Manifold. Say what you will about Carter, he's eager to learn.
* BreadMilkEggsSquick: Casually states in the middle of reminiscing about his school days about how he'd love to gut Mina like a fish.
* PowerArmor: His is less advanced than most, and does not include a helmet - signifying his lower status and letting his face be seen to confirm his identity.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Played With: Carter's a jock rather than a nerd, despite his glasses. He is however possessed of a rather low cunning that makes him dangerous - and he's keen on becoming more dangerous still.
* SmugSnake: Carter ''loves'' to gloat, and being in a powerful position is one of his favorite things. He started pretty easily pushed down when he got smug, but has been taking a turn toward higher functioning lately.

[[folder:Ross Chase]]

to:

[[folder:Ross Chase]]Chase and Lil' Katie]]



Ross Chase, along with his sentient Toyota Pickup, Lil' Katie, is a resistance's driver. Timid and unsure of himself outside of the car, he turns into a (self-described) Sandfield's #1 driver behind the wheel.
----
* DieOrFly: Part of Ross's backstory; he first established the link with his car when he, as a child, accidentally set the car rolling down the street with an imminent crash.



* KidsDrivingCars: The empathic link he developed with Lil' Katie allowed him to get driving lessons from her, starting at age 13.

*YankTheDogsChain: It looks like Jayden is going to get enjoy an ordinary life; and then the Gibbs Militia moves into Sandfield.



*AwesomeButImpractical: Heather's dragon totem is this, at least at first. While summoning a dragon is undeniably cool, the dragon is an externally existing being. This means that its injuries remain between summonings. As one would expect this makes using it increasingly risky. There is also no flow of information between Heather and the dragon, meaning the transformation is quite disorientating for both parties.



* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: Pablo's unique magic type "the Wild Armour" allows him to conjure a variety of weapons themed after animals.



* BlueCollarWarlock: Most of the cast is this, but Veda especially stands out, being a magical genius from a poor working class family.

*GreaseMonkey: Ross is fascinated with just about anything to do with car, and is noted to do some tinkering himself.
* LoveImbuesLife: Possibly the reason that his car is magical.
* SentientVehicle: Ross primarily fights by using his car Katie, who he has an empathic link to.
* VenturousSmuggler: Ross has spent most of his time under the occupation transporting supplies between the various resistance factions.
