History Characters / TheUnexpectablesTheSweetDragon

* DropTheHammer: Specializes in using warhammers, and fanart shows that hers is more like a slab of rock tied to a wooden haft.

* JustForPun: Unintentional, but the word "Log" is often used as shorthand for a logarithm, a mathematical function that determines the exponent by which a base number must be multiplied to arrive at a target number- highly appropriate for a diminutive robot with way more power than it initially appears.

* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: In comparison to her brother, pretty much everyone in the Sweet Dragon gets along with her.

* SpiritualSuccessor: "Zenis", a drawing of Tubbs by Zenrio that came to life due to his wild magic interacting with the enchanted paint. Like Tubbs, it resembles a rotund pigeon, and does nothing but lay in one spot making disconcerting moans. Unlike Tubbs, it's two-dimensional, bright fuchsia, weighs 60 pounts, and has a sign in its middle saying "Zen is ok".

* BalefulPolymorph: He's a halfling but was cursed with the head of a fish. [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] because, while it does make his appearance somewhat disarming, he doesn't really have a problem functioning in day-to-day life and has quite a few friends despite his appearance.

* BalefulPolymorph: His soul got ripped out of his body, jammed into a crystal, and then used to bring life to a giant stone gargoyle. Frank hates what he is now, and even made a deal with a demon in the hopes that he'd get a new body out of it, but he has since more or less come to terms with what he is and is only looking for honest work in the meantime until someone figures out how to change him back to a human.

* TakenForGranite: Comes part and parcel with being a gargoyle.

[[caption-width-right:350:The tavern's offical logo.]]

* UndyingLoyalty: Doesn’t come up often but the thanks to The Unexpectables incredibly kind and charitable treatment of their entire staff they are this to them. When the party brought forth that [[spoiler: The Yugoloths]] were spying and potentially planning to target all of them and they were given to option to quit, none of them took it, saying they love working their and would rather fight then be pushed around. Which was put into practice when [[spoiler: several demons assaulted the Inn]] and [[spoiler: several adult dragons attacked the Inn during the Dragon attack of Alivast]].

* BareFistedMonk: Is a Monk mechanically speaking of incredibly high skill and the strongest seen so far. only ever using her hands she has racked up some of the most impressive feats of strength thus far. Being able to snap a Fire Giants neck with ease, obliterate (a much lower level) Borky in one round of combat and could stand, at the time, equal footing with Tiengo in a fair fight. With her most recent one being [[spoiler: helping the guards fight off and even kill several adult dragons attempted to break into the Sweet Dragon]].

* TeamMom: Shows legitimate concern for the well being of her fellow employees, such as when she forces Luistrong to take time off of work [[spoiler: to recuperate from a stab wound.]]

[[folder: Tai Borpington]]

[[folder: Scarbles The Mistress]]

[[folder: Meryl Quilitin]]

* DamselInDistress: [[spoiler: She's been used as a hostage twice. The first time it was due to being with Arlo when he was captured by Monster's Culling and the second time by the Yugoloths as leverage.]]

[[folder: Skinny]]

* BadassBystander: [[spoiler: Compared to Meryl, Skinny holds herself pretty well when she was stuck in the middle of Madam Mirage's ship.]]

[[folder: Alice]]

[[folder: Kiwi Johnson]]

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: He does this for Remy while the latter is imprisoned in the United Clergy's camp on Canary's Perch, knocking out Audrey with a frying pan and releasing him.... while Audrey was trying to help him.]]

* EmbarrassingRescue: [[spoiler: He knocked Audrey out with a frying pan while she was giving Remy some food to ward off the two days of starvation and exposure the United Clergy had put him through. He thought she was torturing him.]]
->Remy: Kiwi, she wasn't torturing me… [[spoiler:she was feeding me.]]

[[folder: Vel Rock-Fist]]

[[folder: Neragen]]

[[folder: Luistrog]]

An enigmatic warrior who was hired as a guard for the tavern, most notable for wearing a nice helmet. He does his job well but has little desire to interact with anyone else. [[spoiler: Is actually the spirit that lives in a legendary artifact called the Helm of a Thousand Hearts.]]

* DueToTheDead: It's revealed that his absence is due[[spoiler: to wanting to place flowers where his old kingdom used to be, after returning he dully notes that he didn't bring enough.]]
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: He has a tendency to run afoul of hazards that would at least threaten the life of a normal person, whereas the other guards have never seen real combat while working for the tavern. First, a mysterious man stabbed him in the belly and tried to invade the premises before being taken out by one of Hassrad's snakes; later, when [[spoiler: the Silver King]] caved in part of the tavern, he was the only one caught in the rubble. This is probably the reason why [[spoiler: he was the casualty in the Dragon Cult raid as the party can get him back by simply putting his helmet on someone else.]]

* LiveItem: The Helmet that he wears [[spoiler: is technically his true self, as the seat of his consciousness. The human body is under the helmet's control and not part of it.]]
* LivingRelic: Last survivor of the [[spoiler: ancient human kingdom that previously occupied Alivast]].

[[folder: Uromajister]]

[[folder: Arlo]]

[[folder: Frank]]

[[folder: Opal]]

[[folder: Ausphelos]]

[[folder: Old Teapot]]

[[folder: Pitch]]

[[folder: Log]]

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: Saves the Unexpectables, and Greckles in particular, from a rather grisly fate at the hands of Fleur Du Mort.]]

* ParentalAbandonment: How Log seemingly feels about Artemis throwing it out of Alivast once it gained sentience, and the reason why Log isn't too upset to hear [[spoiler: Artemis was killed.]]

!!Willow [[spoiler:Greyscale]] /[[spoiler: Elizabeth Eltmur]]

An apprentice wizard that the party saved from a thug on their first day in Alivast. She is inquisitive and exuberant, and helps the party out with a few magical problems. She eventually comes to work as the Sweet Dragon's in-house wizard. [[spoiler: Secretly, she is the sole surviving member of the Eltmur royal family, and was hiding out in Alivast to avoid being placed on the throne.]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler: She is kind, compassionate, and generally good-natured. She also hatched a scheme to kill her entire family and destroy her Kingdom with it. She also threatens to Borky when he nearly states the truth in public.]]
** Although she's a relative amateur when it comes to magic, her wards were powerful enough to [[spoiler: force the Silver King out of his polymorphed state]]. It inadvertently resulted in the destruction of her tower, but it was an impressive feat nonetheless.

** One particularly noteworthy instance involved her [[spoiler: getting kidnapped by the Silver King,]] an incident that leaves her wizard tower (and a substantial portion of the Sweet Dragon's main building) demolished.
* [[spoiler: DefectorFromDecadence]]: Let's just say there's a reason she came to Alivast all by herself, [[spoiler: and why she orchestrated the deaths of her entire family.]]
* DidntThinkthisThrough: [[spoiler: Her plan about having the Silver King kill her family and leaving Eltmur to burn had a lot of holes in it. There were still plenty of loyalists to the crown, and odds are that one of them could've easily taken her family's place. Further, attempting to lie to a Great Wyrm Silver Dragon and leaving him high and dry after promising to marry him meant that she had to spend a good chunk of her adult life hiding from someone who didn't just have extensive resources on their own; they had the resources of Eltmur's coffers as well.]]

* {{Familiar}}: Gets one in the form of a Barchoba named Bright. Winds up being useful for tracking her down when [[spoiler: she gets kidnapped by the Silver King,]] and when she breaks her [[MundaneUtility wrists so that she doesn't have to move that much.]]
* GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler: When she made her plan to assassinate her family by manipulating the Silver King, she expected him to leave the country to burn after he realizes she ditched him, she wasn’t expecting for him to actually step up as king and help rebuild the country that she wanted to destroy.]]

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: The Tiny Girl in her relationship with Doros. [[spoiler: Also applies in the non-romantic sense between her and the Silver King]].

* [[spoiler: KingIncognito]]: [[spoiler: By rights, she ought to be the Queen of Eltmur, but she definitely doesn't want to be, which is why it's currently ruled by the Silver King.]]

* [[spoiler: SelfMadeOrphan]]: [[spoiler: Once she found out what sorts of things her family was up to, she came up with an elaborate scheme to get the Silver King to kill her family. Her only regret is that the Kingdom of Eltmur didn't die with them.]]
* ThatManIsDead: [[spoiler: Had her identity as "Elizabeth, Princess of Eltmur" declared legally dead by decree of the Silver King, so she could live out her life in Alivast in (relative) peace.]]

[[folder: Fluffy]]

[[folder: Igmund “Iggy” Glawbrook]]

[[folder: Enceladus Enclad]]

[[folder: Anje]]

* GentleGiant: Anje is first seen shepherding a herd of goats and trying his best to care for a human baby, the Unexpectables convince him to return Thomas by having Panic pretend to be the baby's mother. However, as Mirehair the hag [[spoiler: and the Monster's Culling]] will tell you, Anje is far from a pacifist when dealing with people who WouldHurtAChild.

* KillItWithFire:[[spoiler: Fire appears to be his biggest weakness, while he took damage earlier in the fight against Monster’s Culling, Monty pointed out that he wasn’t that heavily injured, when a Chimera shot fire at him however, he immediately fell unconscious and even after he got up, he was weaker than before.]]

A Yuan-Ti Malison information dealer that monitors basically everything in the city through his many snakes. He has close ties with the Underbelly of the city. [[spoiler: After a very close encounter, Hassrad reveals himself to be a cleric of a god called the "Quetzalqueen".]]

* BloodMagic: [[spoiler: Uses it to revive a kid in episode 49]]

** [[spoiler: A much more obvious one given his background is using his magic, because it's both very taxing and dangerous to begin with, and also because it alerts his former cult as to where he might be.]]
* DirtyCoward: It takes a huge moment of personal growth for him to decide to help with [[spoiler: Meryl's rescue]], and he still has to fight the impulse to bail out at every moment. He spends most of the arc running away from enemies, only being useful outside of combat.

* HiddenDepths: Hassrad usually presents himself as mysterious and detached, but when he lets his guard down, he's shown to be somewhat sympathetic and more than a little anxious.
** [[spoiler: Reveals to have a LOT more to him than that. He's a prince of a cult that worships a being known as the Quetzalqueen.]]

* KingIncognito: [[spoiler: He's actually a prince where he came from. He left to try to get away from his sister, the current queen.]]

[[folder: Zotira]]

A guard drake adopted by Task, Tarusk makes for an unconventional, if surprisingly effective, addition to the party. He's not particularly bright, but he's loyal and a good boy. [[spoiler: As of episode 55, he has been returned to the form of an egg, and in Episode 59, he hatches into a Metallic Blue Dragon.]]

* {{Acrofatic}}: After being left in the care of Doros and Willow for a few days [[spoiler: while they're off rescuing Solly from Stillhavity]], Tarusk puts on quite a few pounds due to Willow feeding him pastries. It doesn't actually affect his speed or combat capabilities, however.

* EmptyShell: Tarusk’s soul was heavily damaged in order to make him follow the orders of the whistle, which is why he doesn’t do much when he’s not being ordered around. [[spoiler: The Silver King decides to fix that by reincarnating him as a dragon]]

* GoodIsDumb: Tarusk may or may not be good in the sense of his alignment, but he is a [[MemeticMutation good boy.]] He's also dumb as a rock, and does little except eat and sleep unless directed to do otherwise by Task. [[spoiler: Though his reincarnation seems to be of average intelligence for a child. In the distant potential future, he seems to be smarter, but he's still an excitable lummox.]]
* {{Irony}}: Tarusk is the same type of dragon that wiped out Task’s tribe, and despite Task’s hatred of other Blue Dragons, Tarusk is probably his closest companion. [[spoiler: This is even brought up by the Silver King when he’s reincarnating Tarusk, pointing out that Task plans to raise the same type of creature that destroyed his home, and for a minute before he reveals himself to be the same as he's always been, Task briefly has a HeroicBSOD over it. Happens again when Task visits him in a potential future, where he is going to help him overcome a fear he's had his entire life due in no small part to the Blue Dragon]]
* IGotBigger: [[spoiler: Tarusk has a growth spurt while the party was in the Underdark, and is now a large creature.]]
* LiveItem: In mechanical terms, Tarusk is an item, controlled by the whistle owned by Task. This means he doesn't gain character levels, and is reflected in his lack of personality when not given orders.[[spoiler: Since being reborn as a real dragon, he now grows and ages like any other creature.]]
* {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler: The Silver King returns him to the form of an egg so that he may be reborn as a Dragon.]]
* MeaningfulName: His name is a play on [[spoiler: Task's actual]] name, [[spoiler: Tarrask.]]

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Indirectly. Task named him after [[spoiler: himself]], who is named after [[spoiler: the [[IronicName Tarrasque.]]]]

* SuddenlyVoiced: Post time-skip, Tarusk can now speak in a broken, animalistic voice. [[spoiler: In a potential future, he improves incredibly.]]

* TraumaButton: [[spoiler: Whistles, after his rebirth, if he hears or sees one, he’ll freak out and fire lightning breath at it, due to the trauma of his past life.]]

* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler: The thing fell through the ground with enough force to end up at the Underdark, and by all accounts wasn't noticeably injured by it.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: When last we saw Tubbs he was falling down from the cloud of pigeons that lifted the party up to the Bladefoot airship, sacrificing himself to get Borky the last few feet. As of right now his survival is unconfirmed, although a large crater did have to get patched up in the city from where he landed and Borky is insistent that he is still alive. [[spoiler: Turns out he ended up falling into the Alivastian Underdark.]]
** [[spoiler: TheBusCameBack: Tubbs returns in episode 97, having apparently fallen through the earth, all the way into the Underdark. The Cult of the Undersun worships him as a "comet" sent by Orun, thus technically making him a sacred relic.]]

* PastLifeMemories: The reason he's friendly to Panic [[spoiler: is due to Euphoria befriending it before it got killed and reborn.]]

* DidntThinkthisThrough: [[spoiler: Her plan about having the Silver King kill her family and leaving Eltmur to burn had a lot of holes in it. Considering the Eltmur loyalists are still around odds are that one of them would of just taken her parents place, and even disregarding that. Lying to the oldest Silver Dragon in existence and leaving him dry after promising to marry him meant that she had to spend a good chunk of her life in a vain attempt to hide from him.]]

As a reward for dealing with the Yugoloths the Unexpectables were rewarded with free mounts of their choice. With a pack of Lizard Hounds being their pick.

* PutOnABus: Neragen leaves after Chapter 49 on clergy business.
** TheBusCameBack: Returns to duty in Chapter 55.

* {{Transgender}}: Neragen was confirmed to be female-to-male in June 2021, with Monty explaining that his devotion to Illunay is part of why his transition was so smooth.

[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin A kiwi kenku]] who was press-ganged into service on Captain Bladefoot's pilfered airship. After being freed by a Storm Giant that brought the ship down and going to trial for his piracy, he's gone straight and works down at the Alivast docks. [[ButtMonkey Not that it's helped his luck any.]] Eventually gets hired by Helga to be a server in order for him to actually go legit.

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: He does this for Remy while the latter is imprisoned in the United Clergy's camp on Canary's Perch, knocking out Aubrey with a frying pan and releasing him.... right as Audrey was about to help him.]]

* EmbarrassingRescue: [[spoiler: He knocked Aubrey out with a frying pan while she was giving Remy some food to ward off the two days of starvation and exposure the United Clergy had put him through. He thought she was torturing him.]]

* LethalJokeCharacter: When he joins the party in a fight, he’s pitifully under leveled and is only equipped with a frying pan, however, he ends up having excellent luck with the dice, meaning that he can hold himself rather well. He’s also an important factor in operation Dino drop due to being a person that can be polymorphed without removing an important part of the group’s battle dynamic. Monty even points out he's "weirdly stated", so there's a chance he was actually quite dangerous.

* NervousWreck: By his own admission, he tends to do illegal things when he gets jumpy.
* PaperTiger: For all of his bravado while in a blood rage. He's still a low level rouge who is easiily dealt with by the party everytime he goes overboard.

* GoodThingYouCanHeal: He has a tendency to run afoul of hazards that would at least threaten the life of a normal person, whereas the other guards have never seen real combat while working for the tavern. First, a mysterious man stabbed him in the belly and tried to invade the premises before being taken out by one of Hassrad's snakes; later, when [[spoiler: the Silver King]] caved in part of the tavern, he was the only one caught in the rubble. This is probably the reason why [[spoiler: he was the causality in the Dragon Cult raid as the party can get him back by simply putting his helmet on someone else.]]

* PowerIncontinence: His magic can sometimes have humorous or disastrous consequences, since his grasp on it is about as good as you can get with wild magic.

* AlmightyJanitor: She's officially just the Sweet Dragon's barmaid, but she's the one who actually puts in the effort into running the tavern, handles all the finances and she's the default leader when the party takes one of their many trips away.

* EyeScream: [[spoiler: Lost an eye while defending the Sweet Dragon during the Dragon Cult's raid on Alivast.]]

[[folder: Kiwi [[spoiler: Johnson]]]]
!!Kiwi [[spoiler: Johnson]]

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Astonishingly, he does this for Remy while the latter is imprisoned in the United Clergy's camp on Canary's Perch, knocking out Aubrey with a frying pan and releasing him. However, see EmbarrassingRescue below.]]
** BloodKnight: When he actually gets into a big fight he ends up going into a blood rage.

->[[spoiler:Remy: Kiwi, she wasn't torturing me… she was feeding me.]]
->[[spoiler:Kiwi: Oh, bloody hell.]]
* LethalJokeCharacter: When he joins the party in a fight, he’s pitifully underleveled and is only equipped with a frying pan, however, he ends up having excellent luck with the dice, meaning that he can hold himself rather well. He’s also an important factor in operation Dino drop due to being a person that can be polymorphed without removing an important part of the group’s battle dynamic. Monty even points out he's "weirdly stated", so there's a chance he was actually quite dangerous.

* AngstWhatAngst: You would think someone who was tossed from their home and abandoned by their father would be upset, but openly, Log seems perfectly fine.

* TooCleverByHalf: Is told as such by Artemis right before he got kicked out of the city, after he realized [[spoiler: there was something fishy about the Silver Kobolds and their supposed means of producing constructs.]]

* OutOfFocus: She hasn't made an appearance ever since the party's return from the Underdark.

* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler: Gets kidnapped by Monster's Culling, who planned on harvesting his body.]]

* HumblePie: [[spoiler: Getting kidnapped by the Monster's Culling and one of his siblings perishing in the Dragon Cult's attack force fed him some, he's said to have become much better tempered.]]
