[[folder:Still Waters 1]]
In addition to the canon characters, this story features the following:
!American Division Agents
* CombatPragmatist: They all show varying levels of this.
!!Max Linell
He is the big, scary, ugly lead [[OriginalCharacter oc]] of Still Waters 1. Easily misunderstood, his initial appearance leaves those he meets with the wrong impression, but when he finally meets up with his quarry...
* BigBrotherMentor: He plays a role like this for Akira.
* BrokenBird: A rare male example.
* CoolSword: He collects them; his most commonly used is a greatsword almost as long as he is tall.
* CoveredInScars: He is covered in scars from years and years of dangerous, near suicidal missions as revealed during Yuuna's [[{{Fireballs}} fireball]] attack on him in Chapter 16. May invoke a little FridgeBrilliance when you realize that he's always wearing long sleeved shirts or light jackets, even in the middle of summer.
* DeathGlare: His default expression when he's annoyed or deep in thought.
* FaceOfAThug
* FishOutOfWater: Max is clearly one of these from the very first chapter.
* GutturalGrowler: His voice is deep and very rough sounding.
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Comes across as extremely creepy in the first chapter; it isn't until people talk with him that the truth comes out.
* PlayingWithFire: Max's elemental ability
!!Oscar Marshall
The man in charge; he leads the section Max and the others belong to. What is his interest in Akira...?
* [[spoiler:CruelAndUnusualDeath]]: And how! [[spoiler: Having the water sucked from your body would be a horrible way to die]].
* FatBastard
* GreenThumb: He uses plant magic.
* KickTheDog: It starts when he [[spoiler: slaps Akira for not being comfortable with him invading her personal space]] and goes on from there.
* TentacleRope: Via vines and roots.
* WouldHitAGirl
!!Marlin
The leader of the group sent to find out what's taking Max so long to finish his mission. A skilled veteran, he has been all over the world, surviving dangerous missions of all sorts. An old friend of Max, he feels he is starting to get too old for field missions.
* BadassNormal: He is considered to be this in-story, though he doesn't get a chance to show off.
* CoolShades: He wears a pair of sunglasses everywhere, even inside, and rarely ever takes them off.
* GameBreakingInjury: He suffered one that leaves him a shadow of his former self relatively early in the story at the hands of [[spoiler: Max and Akira]].
!!Guy Sculler
One of the few remaining original members of the group, he grew alongside fellow orphan Max and always viewed him as his rival.
* BadassLongcoat: He is one of the few in the series capable of pulling this off.
* BlowYouAway: Guy's elemental ability
* CantCatchUp: Compared to Max, a fellow agent whom he considers his rival.
* TheDragon: To Oscar Marshall. The main reason he's doing this is to get a chance to fight Max.
* {{Flight}}: One of his skills as an air elemental.
* FragileSpeedster
* OhCrap: Guy's reaction when Eva finally shows up.
* TheResenter: He was always jealous of Max's skills and power, made even worse by the fact that Rikki always liked Max more than him. Everything comes to a head in chapter 20.
* [[WhiteHairedPrettyBoy Silver Haired Pretty Boy]]: He resembles Dante from DevilMayCry.
!!Nilren Riggs
Hacker, information gatherer, and general NonActionGuy of the group; he provides the others with the information they need to move ahead with their plans.
* PlayfulHacker
* TheSmartGuy: He handles strategy and planning for the group.
!!Arvel
Somewhat AxCrazy member of the group, he just likes to make things burn.
* BadassLongcoat: Deconstructed (it's inconvenient, refuses to properly billow in the wind, threatens to tangle around his legs from time to time, and receives at least one bullet hole), Invoked (he wears it because he thinks it makes him look like the badass he wants to be), and Discussed by characters in-story. Arvel's ability to wear a longcoat is a pale imitation of Guy's even though his is much more expensive and arguably of higher quality, but it tends to come across more as 'ridiculous' than 'badass' when he wears it.
* FlamingSword: In his case, a sword made of fire.
* GreenThumb: He uses plant-based magic in addition to fire magic.
* [[KickTheDog Kick The Teacher]]: He knocks down Nijuin (the fat mage teacher) in front of his daughter, cusses at the cute little girl when she tries to get him to stop, and kicks the fallen teacher in the stomach as he tries to crawl between them. It is only the arrival of Guy that stops the situation from escalating into something worse.
* PlayingWithFire: He prefers fire magic because it's easy to blow things up.
* PyroManiac
* SmugSnake: Egotistic, arrogant, and, perhaps unusually for this trope, quite strong.
* TooDumbToLive: At one point, he makes a comment about wanting to fight '''''Eva'''''.
!!Jennifer
A mysterious woman who is mentioned but rarely seen. What is her relationship to the others?

[[folder:Still Waters 3]]
Unlike the previous stories, this one includes a whole new class.
!The New Class 2-A
!!Student 1 Aisaka Sayo
Sayo is still a ghost, still attending class in the same room she always has. Attached herself to Sakai Reiko after Kazumi left Mahora some time ago, but now that Kazumi is back, she often brings the two of them together, against their will. Rumor has it, though, that she's quite a bit more than she seems at first glance.
* BadassAdorable: She pretty much one shotted an EldritchAbomination that only ghosts could see in her character story.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Judging from her character story, she's every ghost's worst nightmare.
* TheHeart: She plays this role in the group that forms when she drags her two best friends, Kazumi and Sakai Reiko (who constantly clash) together.

!!Student 4 Kobayashi Ayumi
Pretty, popular, and with a good sense of style in addition to the fact that she started her own band, Ayumi seems to have all the makings of a class favorite. But with her actions towards other students such as Caro Shaw, it seems she's hiding something ugly. What's going on, here?
* ACupAngst: Not as flat as that, but she's extremely jealous of Kara's...bigness.
* BerserkButton: Suggesting that someone else is more attractive or better at something than she is is probably a bad idea. Also, she doesn't like when people go against her plans or ideas.
* BreakTheCutie: She suffered this in early childhood following the death of her father
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* EvilMatriarch: Suffers from having one of these.
* FieryRedhead

* TheHeart: She ''would'' play this role in Ayumi's band, but Ayumi's personality and personal problems steamroll right over her.
* ShyBlueHairedGirl: Her hair color isn't brought up often, but it is mentioned that she's terrified of going up on stage and singing in front of other people, even though she's participated in one band tournament already.
!!Student 7 Mako Sylvester
The second transfer student, Mako Sylvester is a half-blood whose parents live in the midwest of the US. But why is she in Mahora rather than a place near her home?
* DarkAndTroubledPast

* HalfBreed: She's half Japanese, half American.
* HugeSchoolgirl: She's 5'9", awkward, and shy.
* PurpleEyes: Actually a very odd shade of blue that most people see as purple.
* TheQuietOne: She's very quiet around anyone she doesn't fully trust, and she only trusts a rare few.
!!Student 8 Suzuki Keiko

* BrainyBrunette: She is the most intelligent student in the class, possibly in her whole grade.
* BrownEyes: Dark brown
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: She has a pretty severe problem connecting with people because of this.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: As should be obvious by this point.

* DarkAndTroubledPast
* EyesofGold: More like orange.

* GoodScarsEvilScars: She has a scar across her cheek she received from a branch while running through the woods outside Mahora to escape a [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Vulture]].
* IWorkAlone: She actively distances herself from those around her for reasons of her own; she is also firmly convinced the rest of her class is really, really weird.
* TheQuietOne: She almost never speaks or draws attention to herself in class.
* UnkemptBeauty: WordOfGod says she is very attractive, but is so convinced from her visions she'll never marry that the idea someone might be attracted to her doesn't even cross her mind anymore.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She is scared of vultures, mostly because of the way she sees them in visions and the way they often come straight to her.

Tall, quiet, beautiful, and elegant, her head is also constantly in the clouds.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: She looks like she's in her late teens; she's actually one of the youngest students in the class.
!!Student 13 Ono Ran
Perhaps the spookiest student in the class, she is well known for scary-accurate fortunetelling. But...it appears there's something else going on here. How does she know so much?

* BewareTheNiceOnes: As hinted at in the short character story based around a day of her life, she's got a temper.

* TheNondescript: The Writer jokingly refers to her as "Yoshida Ume (Who?)"
!!Student 15 Possum Cade
Yet another transfer student, she's a friendly, likable person, and even managed to draw the most unfriendly student in the class, Urashima Taro, out of her shell. But what drove her to Mahora in the first place?
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She is one of the friendliest people around, but that won't stop her from bashing you upside the head with a 2 x 4, as seen in the Book 1 side story ''How Taro Met Possum''.
* EyesOfGold: They're what got her the nickname of "Whiskey".
* InSeriesNickname: Max called her "Whiskey" because of her eye color, and it stuck.
* [[spoiler:TragicMonster]]: It looks like, in recent chapters, she's heading this way, with plenty of [[spoiler:ResistTheBeast]] and [[spoiler:HorrorHunger]]. Time will tell if she's successful or not...you can probably guess the odds.

!!Student 26 Evangeline A.K. Mc Dowell
After being freed from her curse, she set off around the world, seeing what she could see. However, with the quick onset of boredom in spite of her new sense of freedom, the news that Negi was coming back to Mahora after a year in Tibet drew her back.
!!Student 27 Kondo Kai
The drummer for Ayumi's band, Kai is quick, intelligent, and has a great sense of style. She is also strong as a full grown man and ten times as tough. What is she hiding?

!!Student 28 Urashima Taro
[[GenderBlenderName A girl with a boy's name]], It's obvious Taro isn't normal. And with her reputation among the criminal element on the streets of Mahora, her skills as a fighter are legendary, rapidly approaching the old stories about Ku Fei.
* BerserkButton: The fact that she has a boy's name.
* BigBreastsBigDeal: Type 1; she's embarrassed by them and doesn't know what to do about it, hence the {{Sarashi}}.

* HealingFactor: A legacy of her [[LoveHina Urashima]] bloodline.
* HotBlooded: Not as extreme as many of the examples on that page, but she is quite hot blooded when out on her own.
* InformedLoner: At first her only friend was Possum, but now that she is commonly seen going around with the class rep, Rally, and Kagami, the other students are finally loosening up around her to the extent that someone who didn't know the character would never have known she was a loner in the first place.
* KiAttacks
* LittleMissBadass: She routinely goes out at night with a baseball bat in order to lure out criminals. Has been known to beat up grown men who are known for being great fighters. Some time ago, she beat up a 100+ strong biker gang called the Saitama Devils. All of them.
* MadeOfIron
* [[OneManArmy One Girl Army]]: In the view of the local thugs, delinquents, and gang members around Mahora.
* RedBaron: They call her...the Street Sweeper. Not nearly as badass, but considering that this is the same place that came up with the name "Death Glasses Takahata"...
* TheRival: She sees herself and Sachiko as rivals; Sachiko's the first person her age who's beaten her in a fight.
* {{Sarashi}}: She wears one to [[{{Gainaxing}} flatten/support]] her rather [[MostCommonSuperPower ample]] chest; WordOfGod says she's a [[{{Moe}} little]] embarrassed about it.

* {{Moe}}
* RobotGirl
* RoseHairedGirl

* BewareTheQuietOnes: She may be nice and polite, but she isn't one of the closest companions of the son of the Thousand Master for nothing.

Hired as a manager for Ayaka's newly purchased restaurant, Natsumi has come a long way from the awkward, mousy girl she was back in 2003. But with everyone's return and the sudden reappearance of Kotarou after two years, she's found herself yet again at a loss.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: As Sir Alexander Stratos learned in the story ''The Queen Of Light''.

* KnifeNut: her weapon of choice, she wears looped belts holding small throwing knives under her skirt and up her sleeves, and most likely has several bigger knives hidden about her person.

* WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter: When on the job, he carries "The Symbol of P.E. Teacher Authority" a.k.a. a large, heavy, wood sword. It's mostly just a prop to go along with his SternTeacher reputation, but he lets [[spoiler: Makie]] carry it from time to time, thereby transferring some of his fearsome reputation to her.

!The Professor's Robots
The Professor created dozens upon dozens of robots in a secret warehouse laboratory, using a three part naming system. The first letter indicates the gender of the robot, the number indicates the model, and the final letter indicates that particular unit's place in that model run. Each unit was hand built, and not all examples of a particular model run were suitable to activate. This list is in order of age, oldest to youngest by build date.
!![=N2B=]
The oldest surviving unit, it is commonly called "he" in spite of having no gender.
!![=M2A=]
The second oldest surviving unit, it is male and is one of the most aggressive of the surviving units.
!![=F7D=]
The oldest surviving female unit, her specialty was material synthesis, and she is the one who provided the synthetic skin that the others use to hide their true nature when it is necessary to go out among the populace for materials or anything else. She has a strong temper. She is the oldest surviving unit that could pass as a human.
!![=FX8-a=] "Sarah:
A highly advanced prototype without an emotion center, the Professor abandoned the project shortly before activation.
* AIIsACrapshoot: Almost the first thing she does upon being activated is destroy the one who activated her because he annoyed her.

The youngest female unit, activated by the others hours before the Professor passed away in an attempt to cheer him up. Her specialty is maintenance; she is the reason the remaining units have functioned for as long as they have.

In addition to
For the canon characters, this story features the following:
!American Division Agents
* CombatPragmatist: They all show varying levels
sake of this.
!!Max Linell
He is the big, scary, ugly lead [[OriginalCharacter oc]] of Still Waters 1. Easily misunderstood, his initial appearance leaves those he meets with the wrong impression, but when he finally meets up with his quarry...
* BigBrotherMentor: He plays a role like this for Akira.
* BrokenBird: A rare male example.
* CoolSword: He collects them; his most commonly used is a greatsword almost as long as he is tall.
* CoveredInScars: He is covered in scars from years and years of dangerous, near suicidal missions as revealed during Yuuna's [[{{Fireballs}} fireball]] attack on him in Chapter 16. May invoke a little FridgeBrilliance when you realize that he's always wearing long sleeved shirts or light jackets, even in the middle of summer.
* DeathGlare: His default expression when he's annoyed or deep in thought.
* FaceOfAThug
* FishOutOfWater: Max is clearly one of these from the very first chapter.
* GutturalGrowler: His voice is deep and very rough sounding.
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Comes across as extremely creepy in the first chapter; it isn't until people talk with him that the truth comes out.
* PlayingWithFire: Max's elemental ability
!!Oscar Marshall
The man in charge; he leads the section Max and the others belong to. What is his interest in Akira...?
* [[spoiler:CruelAndUnusualDeath]]: And how! [[spoiler: Having the water sucked from your body would be a horrible way to die]].
* FatBastard
* GreenThumb: He uses plant magic.
* KickTheDog: It starts when he [[spoiler: slaps Akira for not being comfortable with him invading her personal space]] and goes on from there.
* TentacleRope: Via vines and roots.
* WouldHitAGirl
!!Marlin
The leader of the group sent to find out what's taking Max so long to finish his mission. A skilled veteran, he has been all over the world, surviving dangerous missions of all sorts. An old friend of Max, he feels he is starting to get too old for field missions.
* BadassNormal: He is considered to be this in-story, though he doesn't get a chance to show off.
* CoolShades: He wears a pair of sunglasses everywhere, even inside, and rarely ever takes them off.
* GameBreakingInjury: He suffered one that leaves him a shadow of his former self relatively early in the story at the hands of [[spoiler: Max and Akira]].
!!Guy Sculler
One of the few remaining original members of the group, he grew alongside fellow orphan Max and always viewed him as his rival.
* BadassLongcoat: He is one of the few in the series capable of pulling this off.
* BlowYouAway: Guy's elemental ability
* CantCatchUp: Compared to Max, a fellow agent whom he considers his rival.
* TheDragon: To Oscar Marshall. The main reason he's doing this is to get a chance to fight Max.
* {{Flight}}: One of his skills as an air elemental.
* FragileSpeedster
* OhCrap: Guy's reaction when Eva finally shows up.
* TheResenter: He was always jealous of Max's skills and power, made even worse by the fact that Rikki always liked Max more than him. Everything comes to a head in chapter 20.
* [[WhiteHairedPrettyBoy Silver Haired Pretty Boy]]: He resembles Dante from DevilMayCry.
!!Nilren Riggs
Hacker, information gatherer, and general NonActionGuy of the group; he provides the others with the information they need to move ahead with their plans.
* PlayfulHacker
* TheSmartGuy: He handles strategy and planning for the group.
!!Arvel
Somewhat AxCrazy member of the group, he just likes to make things burn.
* BadassLongcoat: Deconstructed (it's inconvenient, refuses to properly billow in the wind, threatens to tangle around his legs from time to time, and receives at least one bullet hole), Invoked (he wears it because he thinks it makes him look like the badass he wants to be), and Discussed by characters in-story. Arvel's ability to wear a longcoat is a pale imitation of Guy's even though his is much more expensive and arguably of higher quality, but it tends to come across more as 'ridiculous' than 'badass' when he wears it.
* FlamingSword: In his case, a sword made of fire.
* GreenThumb: He uses plant-based magic in addition to fire magic.
* [[KickTheDog Kick The Teacher]]: He knocks down Nijuin (the fat mage teacher) in front of his daughter, cusses at the cute little girl when she tries to get him to stop, and kicks the fallen teacher in the stomach as he tries to crawl between them. It is only the arrival of Guy that stops the situation from escalating into something worse.
* PlayingWithFire: He prefers fire magic because it's easy to blow things up.
* PyroManiac
* SmugSnake: Egotistic, arrogant, and, perhaps unusually for this trope, quite strong.
* TooDumbToLive: At one point, he makes a comment about wanting to fight '''''Eva'''''.

[[folder:Still Waters 3]]
Unlike the previous stories, this one includes a whole new class.
!The New Class 2-A
!!Student 1 Aisaka Sayo
Sayo is still a ghost, still attending class in the same room she always has. Attached herself to Sakai Reiko after Kazumi left Mahora some time ago, but now that Kazumi is back, she often brings the two of them together, against their will. Rumor has it, though, that she's quite a bit more than she seems at first glance.
* BadassAdorable: She pretty much one shotted an EldritchAbomination that only ghosts could see in her character story.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Judging from her character story, she's every ghost's worst nightmare.
* TheHeart: She plays this role in the group that forms when she drags her two best friends, Kazumi and Sakai Reiko (who constantly clash) together.

!!Student 4 Kobayashi Ayumi
Pretty, popular, and with a good sense of style in addition to the fact that she started her own band, Ayumi seems to have all the makings of a class favorite. But with her actions towards other students such as Caro Shaw, it seems she's hiding something ugly. What's going on, here?
* ACupAngst: Not as flat as that, but she's extremely jealous of Kara's...bigness.
* BerserkButton: Suggesting that someone else is more attractive or better at something than she is is probably a bad idea. Also, she doesn't like when people go against her plans or ideas.
* BreakTheCutie: She suffered this in early childhood following the death of her father
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* EvilMatriarch: Suffers from having one of these.
* FieryRedhead

* PurpleEyes: Actually a very odd shade of blue that most people see as purple.

* BrownEyes: Dark brown
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: She has a pretty severe problem connecting with people because of this.

* TheQuietOne: She almost never speaks or draws attention to herself in class.
* UnkemptBeauty: WordOfGod says she is very attractive, but is so convinced from her visions she'll never marry that the idea someone might be attracted to her doesn't even cross her mind anymore.

Tall, quiet, beautiful, and elegant, her head is also constantly in the clouds.

* TheNondescript: The Writer jokingly refers to her as "Yoshida Ume (Who?)"
!!Student 15 Possum Cade
Yet another transfer student, she's a friendly, likable person, and even managed to draw the most unfriendly student in the class, Urashima Taro, out of her shell. But what drove her to Mahora in the first place?
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She is one of the friendliest people around, but that won't stop her from bashing you upside the head with a 2 x 4, as seen in the Book 1 side story ''How Taro Met Possum''.
* EyesOfGold: They're what got her the nickname of "Whiskey".
* InSeriesNickname: Max called her "Whiskey" because of her eye color, and it stuck.
* [[spoiler:TragicMonster]]: It looks like, in recent chapters, she's heading this way, with plenty of [[spoiler:ResistTheBeast]] and [[spoiler:HorrorHunger]]. Time will tell if she's successful or not...you can probably guess the odds.

* BigBreastsBigDeal: Type 1; she's embarrassed by them and doesn't know what to do about it, hence the {{Sarashi}}.

* InformedLoner: At first her only friend was Possum, but now that she is commonly seen going around with the class rep, Rally, and Kagami, the other students are finally loosening up around her to the extent that someone who didn't know the character would never have known she was a loner in the first place.
* KiAttacks
* LittleMissBadass: She routinely goes out at night with a baseball bat in order to lure out criminals. Has been known to beat up grown men who are known for being great fighters. Some time ago, she beat up a 100+ strong biker gang called the Saitama Devils. All of them.
* MadeOfIron
* [[OneManArmy One Girl Army]]: In the view of the local thugs, delinquents, and gang members around Mahora.

She fled to Mahora with her catatonic sister in tow several years ago; Negi's group helped her make a place of her own. But what caused her to flee her home in the first place, and why?
* ChainsawGood: Her favorite tool with which to dispense justice.
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: She prefers a chainsaw, but has a distinct fondness for (and skill with) all sorts of gardening implements.
* LonersAreFreaks: She suffers from others perceiving her in this way.
* PeekABangs: Her hair has grown too long and she keeps swiping it out of her face, but it always falls back to cover one eye.
!!Trinity Birdsong
Maple's catatonic sister, she doesn't speak, rarely moves, and can often be seen gazing off into the far distance, eyes unfocused; but this is not her natural state.
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* MindRape: WordOfGod says this is what happened to her.
!!Nelle
An orphaned Brazilian girl with horrible scarring across her neck, leaving her unable to speak. A high school student, she spends most of her free time in the library. First seen in the short story The Ace of Spades.
* BadassBookworm: as proven during the defense of Mahora in Book 1.

* PlayingWithFire: His Elemental ability.

* WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter: When on the job, he carries "The Symbol of P.E. Teacher Authority" a.k.a. a large, heavy, wood sword.

[[folder: A Robot's Life]]
!The Professor's Robots
The Professor created dozens upon dozens of robots in a secret warehouse laboratory, using a three part naming system. The first letter indicates the gender of the robot, the number indicates the model, and the final letter indicates that particular unit's place in that model run. Each unit was hand built, and not all examples of a particular model run were suitable to activate. This list is in order of age, oldest to youngest by build date.
!![=N2B=]
The oldest surviving unit, it is commonly called "he" in spite of having no gender.
!![=M2A=]
The second oldest surviving unit, it is male and is one of the most aggressive of the surviving units.
!![=F7D=]
The oldest surviving female unit, her specialty was material synthesis, and she is the one who provided the synthetic skin that the others use to hide their true nature when it is necessary to go out among the populace for materials or anything else. She has a strong temper. She is the oldest surviving unit that could pass as a human.
!![=FX8-a=] "Sarah:
A highly advanced prototype without an emotion center, the Professor abandoned the project shortly before activation.
* AIIsACrapshoot: Almost the first thing she does upon being activated is destroy the one who activated her because he annoyed her.
* FlawedPrototype: The reason she remained unactivated for so long.
* HiveQueen: for the Drones.
* ImplacableMan: Appears to be this...up until her run in with Tanaka unit 1125, who all but wipes the floor with her.
* PsychoPrototype
* SuperPrototype: Her abilities are spectacular compared to the others.
!!Drones
Several dozen simpler units created to provide backup processing power for [=FX8-a=]. They have no will of their own.
* HiveMind: They function as this for [=FX8-a=], who knows everything they know and can give them orders through their built in network or take control of any individual member.
!![=F9A=]
The youngest female unit, activated by the others hours before the Professor passed away in an attempt to cheer him up. Her specialty is maintenance; she is the reason the remaining units have functioned for as long as they have.
!![=M9H=]
The youngest remaining male unit, an error in construction resulted in a blown processor, which greatly restricts what he is capable of doing.
