History Characters / TheLongestJourney

* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: She's actually April's biological mother and may be Zoe and Faith's as well.]]

* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler: She hasn't heard from her best friend in ten years, and still spends a lot of the money from her career as an artist on searching for her.]]

* ChekhovsGunman: His role in ''Dreamfall'' would seem to indicate that he's much more important than it initially seemed.

* TheHerosJourney
* TrappedInAnotherWorld
* TrueCompanions: April and her two best friends Charlie and Emma, although they can't follow her on her journey and as of the beginning of Dreamfall, [[spoiler:they haven't heard from her for 10 years. [[TearJerker They are still searching for her, though,]] at least, Emma does. Charlie has given up on ever finding her ([[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic along with his dream of being a dancer]]). He does, however, go out of his way to help ''Zoe'' find her.]]

* GenreSavvy: In the original game... and how.
** Though she displays occasional {{Genre Blind}}ness, like in the encounter with the Gribbler. But lampshades it a lot later.

* TheChosenOne: Subverted: She [[spoiler:assumes that she has been chosen to be the next Guardian of the Balance, but in fact she is only supposed to ''find'' the Guardian and shepherd him to his destiny.]] Still, there are hints in the promotional material of ''Dreamfall'' that she is yet to receive her fair chunk of destiny.
** She still gets more than her fair share of being Chosen, though. She accumulates prophecies like dust as the original game goes on - She's the Kan-ang-la, April bandu-embata, the Windbringer, the Waterstiller...it goes on. At one point, she asks a guard something like "Don't you have a prophecy that I can fulfill? Because that's how this thing usually goes."
*** And, just for the record: the encounter when she says that results in her being named "the Wave" in addition to the messianic titles she gain before...
**** '''A''' Wave, technically. It means she'll end up being very important to the future of Arcadia.

!!Emma

* TheChewToy: April encounters him early on in chapter 2. She ends up [[spoiler:poisoning him with toxic waste, then stealing his identity, which later results in his being tortured for information he doesn't actually have]]. There's no indication that he deserves any of this.

* TheHero'sJourney

* TheHeroesJourney

* TrueCompanionship: With April and Emma.

* TrueCompanionship: April and her two best friends Charlie and Emma, although they can't follow her on her journey and as of the beginning of Dreamfall, [[spoiler:they haven't heard from her for 10 years.

He does, however, go out of his way to help ''Zoe'' find her.]]

April's best female friend and an student at the Venice Academy Of Arts like her.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Although several characters in the game are of the opinion that although she's a terrible flirt, she's clever and can take care of herself.

* TrueCompanionship: April and her two best friends Charlie and Emma, although they can't follow her on her journey and as of the beginning of Dreamfall, they haven't heard from her for 10 years.

Following is a list of characters in ''TheLongestJourney'' and ''{{Dreamfall}}'' video games.

! Introduced in ''TheLongestJourney''

! Introduced in ''{{Dreamfall}}''
!!Zoe Castillo
[[quoteright:237:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fdf_4581.jpg]]

* ActionSurvivor: Although she can throw a punch, she is no match for armed enemies (unlike April in ''Dreamfall'', for instance).
* FanService: Running around in her underwear in ''Dreamfall''.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: Has very pretty, big brown eyes, long black hair and pale skin.
* TheStoic: Prefers to play it like that in danger.
* TrappedInAnotherWorld
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Actually, she is a college dropout, but the rest fits.

!!Gabriel Castillo
Zoë's father
* GoodParents

!!Reza Temiz
Zoë's ex-boyfriend

* [[spoiler: BackFromTheDead: Though he's definitely not the same...]]
* IntrepidReporter


!!Kian Alvane
[[quoteright:241:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fdfd_3899.jpg]]

* ChurchMilitant: He even calls himself a "missionary".
** He was part of a religious order that converted people... by killing them. The rationale being, that they might be reincarnated as believers.
*** Sounds remarkably like the [[StarControl Eternal Doctrine]], if you know what I mean.
* MasterSwordsman
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: [[spoiler: Begins to question his empire's crusade towards the end of the game.]]
* SuperSoldier: He and, by projection, other Azadi Apostles.
* SympatheticPOV: In ''Dreamfall'', playing as him allows the Azadi Empire to display some shades of gray, and helps April's goals seem considerably less sympathetic than they would have if she'd been the sole protagonist. One of the best moments of the game occurs when the two have a conversation and player control keeps shifting from one to the other, showing the range of his/her dialogue options and allowing the player to steer the character's opinion of the other.

!!The Prophet
* ManBehindTheMan: May be.

!!White Kin
* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl: She is this in her human form.

!!The Six, Empresses of Azadi
* BigBad: The Arcadian Big Bads in ''DF''.

!!Alvin Peats
* BigBad: The Starkian BigBad in ''DF''.
* DreamStealer
* FatBastard: He even kind of looks like [[XMen Mojo]].

!!Samantha Gilmore
* [[spoiler: TheStarscream]]
* TomboyishName: She is commonly referred as "Sam", for example, by Peats [[spoiler:right before she kills him]], confusing some fans who thought that there was an unrevealed dude named Samuel involved.

!![[spoiler: The Undreaming]]
* [[spoiler: BiggerBad]]
* [[spoiler: EldritchAbomination: It's an incorporeal being capable of destroying both worlds and potentially everyone's subconscious.]]

* BlackAndWhiteBeauty: Has very pretty, big brown eyes, long black hair and pale skin.
