** This possibly graduates to a full-on ArtifactOfDoom once Ceria realizes that it is actually somewhat sentient. It can subtly affect her emotions, withold its magical power, and even hops off of her head to abandon her when it looks like she's about to be killed.
** Being a CombatPragmatist, though, she realizes that a sentient artifact can be threatened in order to get even more power out of it.

* FamedInStory: After Wistram broadcasted them leading the raid on the Village of the Dead, they've become household names. Taken even further with Ksmvr, who becomes the subject of a documentary by Remi Canada.

** While certainly friendly to begin with, Colth only really begins to open up to the Horns after he and Yvlon decide to run ''through'' a gauntlet of deathtraps... [[ItMakesSenseInContext while punching each other]].



* MookHorrorShow: The Horns slaughtered more than six full slaveships of Roshal, much of which was written from the perspective of said [Slavers].



** At the end of Volume 9, they're spread out across (and under) the sea , as well as on at least two continents.



* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: A half-Elf who offends Erin's idea of what Elves are, a [Necromancer], and an Antinium. [[OnlySaneMan Yvlon]] was most just convicted by the court of public opinion but later picked up a rage Skill that makes her dangerous to even her teammates.

* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Both Pisces and Colth are escaped [Slaves]. After Erin was briefly captured, they decide to wage literal war on Roshal.



* AmplifierArtifact: The Putrid One's Circlet increases her intelligence and mana, but [[EmotionSuppression suppresses]] her sense of morality.



* HorrifyingTheHorror: Upon realizing that her Cursed Circlet is sentient and is intentionally influencing her, she deduces that it also must has a sense of self-preservation, and starts threatening it to make it do more to help.



* TrainingFromHell: The best method to improve Ceria's ice magic according to [[DrillSergeantNasty Grimalkin]]? Have her teammates boil her alive. Much to Ceria's dismay, this is ''not'' better than her old master's form of training: [[ExposedToTheElements walking into blizzards naked]]

naked]].



** Taken to the logical extreme in Volume 9, when he becomes able to "reanimate" decayed structures, such as turning a sinking ship into a GhostShip.



* RaisingTheSteaks: Because the only humanoids Pisces will raise as undead are bandits he's very reliant, especially earlier on in the story, on using undead animals.



* BowAndSwordInAccord: While fond of DualWielding swords, his four arms and Bag of Holding means that he can also use several crossbows to great effect as well.

* CommonalityConnection: While initially annoyed at Vofea's attempt to join the Horns unprompted, he quickly changes his mind and starts looking out for her as a "Junior Member" once he realizes she's a FishOutOfWater who intends to perform a HeroicSacrifice. He doesn't seem to understand the parallels, and it's PlayedForLaughs how stupid he finds her attitude.



* ForcedToWatch: Tolve invokes this against Ksmvr during the Village of the Dead raid and plans to invoke it again in revenge because Tolve [[BlatantLies believes]] that [[ILied Ksmvr]] [[YouAreAlreadyDead killed his master]]. Invoked the first time and then again because for all his jobbing Tolve correctly recognizes that taking out Ksmvr's teammates is the best way to hurt him.

* SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome: Her older sister is a successful merchant, and her older brother is the leader of the well-known Gold-rank team that she named her team after. Her parent's still doted on her accomplishments, but she never felt she deserved their praise.

Added DiffLines:

* WalkDontSwim: After getting thrown into the open ocean with weights in Volume 9, Ksmvr managed to put a Ring of Waterbreathing on her, leading to her walking along the seafloor.

!! Colthei the Supporter, [Ultimate Supporter]

Colthei (or Colth) is a male Human who's in his thirties, and was already an accomplished Named Rank before joining the Horns. He was sent by his Demon contacts to watch over Pisces.
----
* OlderSidekick: Being a [Supporter], Colth is strongest when he's helping others, and so tends to act as a MoreSeniorSubordinate to the team.
* MadeASlave: He once killed a [Slaver] in self-defense. Roshal's influence meant he was then enslaved and eventually turned into one of the Naga's top killers.
* MoreThanMindControl: The Naga used a variety of methods to alter his mind. Years later, he's still terrified that he'll wake up and realize it was all just another series of false memories.
* SlasherSmile: While generally extremely friendly, his smile takes on a deranged appearance whenever fighting challenging monsters or killing Slavers. This earned him the epithet: Colth of the Demonic Smile.
* VerbalTic: He tends to refer to whoever he's working with as "boss". This is ''not'' from his time as a Slave, but actually a form of rebellion against it: The Naga hated being called [[InsistentTerminology terms like that]].

!! Vofea, no Class

Vofea is a Satyr refugee who fled to Avalon as a child over ten thousand year ago. She spent her time there as a lesser member of the Court, before returning to fulfill a childhood promise.
----
* ExactWords: Nowhere in her fate was it said that she'd die soon if she returned, only that she'd die. Since she (assumably) gave up her immortality by leaving Avalon, she could very well end up dying of old age and still fulfill the exact words of her fate.
* FishOutOfWater: Being raised in Avalon has left her a bit confused about mortal concepts like not being able to see your own immediate future.
* IGaveMyWord: She admits that she could break her promise to the Fairy King with no real consequences, but refuses to do so because then she would no longer be the same person who made it.
* MartyrWithoutACause: She knew her fate upon returning to the mortal world would be a HeroicSacrifice, and doesn't understand why the Horns are so against it. She attempted to sacrifice herself several times now, and is frankly baffled as to why she's survived this long.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She's over ten thousand year old, but the nature of time in Avalon means that she didn't experience it like other realities would.
* SufferTheSlings: Her primary weapon is a sling.
* TrueSight: She's able to see through Bogram's illusions, as well as perfectly spot distant figures in a storm.

The Human captain of the Silver Swords. Though stubborn in his beliefs, his heart is in the right place for the most part.
----
* IdealHero: He might not be the most ideal example given his stubbornness and prejudices against what society deems evil, like Goblins and [Necromancers], he is particularly known for his heroism, such as him leading the defense of Esthelm against the overwhelming Goblin Lord's army. A crowning example is [[spoiler:him taking on Facestealer when it breaks out of Liscor's dungeon in ''Interlude - Adventurers (Pt. 3)''; despite being clearly underleveled for the threat, barely survived getting thrown into the city, and other adventurers understandably wanting to stay back where the Named-ranks failed, he did it simply because it was right.]]
-->Nevermind that reinforcements might be coming. Ylawes did not go for that. He did not go in hopes of inspiring or for the glory or levels. ''He went because he had to.''

* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: [[spoiler:Though Saliss is able to become his female Drake cousin named Onieva Oliwing through the Faerie Flowers, it's later revealed that this comes at the cost of him not remembering what he did as Onieva, making Saliss and Onieva separate individuals in practice rather than Saliss transforming into what he wanted.]]

It did not at all settle well when Saliss and Mirn hear it from Shaestrel.]]
* BecauseItAmusedMe: He gets a kick out of annoying people with his antics, especially those that he doesn't like, such as Chaldion and Zeter.
* BrokenAce: For all the achievements he has as a Named Adventurer, [[spoiler:he has many, many things to protest about Drake society, let alone the issues he wants fixed: that he's a Turnscale and wants better treatment for them as a whole; that the Drakes squabble amongst themselves and he finds it pathetic even though he serves in their military operations; and that his grandfather, Chaldion, could pass away anytime and leave Saliss forced into taking up the role of protector of all Drakes, not helped by there being few Drake heroes left after Reiss and Az'kerash's actions.

* FullFrontalAssault: Saliss is infamous for being a nudist. The only few times he does cover his crotch is when he's doing it out of respect to someone (like Erin giving him a box marked 'or the situation isn't a time for joking around.

* HiddenHeartOfGold: However carefree he acts, there's a kind method to his madness. It's because of this that Erin recognizes that he's a fellow person who believes in doing good without reward.
** When Octavia begs to be his apprentice and resorts to offering sexual favors, he drops his easygoing façade to make it clear she shouldn't have to do that.
** Though Tyrion Veltras is an enemy of Drakekind, thus making him Saliss's enemy, [[spoiler:he still decided to deliver the cure for his poisoned sons.
