* TheLeader: He believes himself to be Type IV but he's actually Type III

to:

*HonorBeforeReason: Lots of 'die on your feet then live on your knees' sort of lines from him. Whether he believes this himself or is just using it as propaganda is up for debate.
*[[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: Early on in the last stand.]]
* TheLeader: of the Eastern Alliance. He believes himself to be Type IV but he's actually a Type III
*[[MyGodWhatHaveIDone: His final thoughts.]]
*{{Revenge}}: Gothon took everything from him: Family, home, etc. So he wants the guy's head on a stick.



* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom

to:

*AbsolutePacifist: Subverted. While his nearly every line is about how bad fighting is and how horrible it is to lead people to their deaths, etc, his solution is to kill off a great number of people and scare the bulk into surrendering.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoomUnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He tells Gothon where the Eastern Alliance's HQ is and how to defeat their army.
*WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After serving his role in the plot, he disapears and is never heard from again.
*YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo: Apparently there was a miscommuncation. [[spoiler: Yusef was under the impression that the cavalry would be killed but the infantry spared because they were little more than farmers with pitchforks; the cavalry would go first and then the infantry would give up and Gothon would 'let them go'.]] Gothon's plan was all or nothing. [[spoiler: He gave the entire the army chance to surrender and join him and face no further aggression from him. Kazem turned this down on principle and the entire Eastern Alliance was slaughtered.]]

'''Jenna'''
*ClingyJealousGirl: As soon as they meet, she throws petty insults at Daniar and pulls Kalak away from her. Ritchie says she's like this with every girl Kalak has contact with. He thinks its BigSisterInstinct but by insisting that Kalak never has to have a child (and thus, never have sex with another woman) she borders IncestSubtext
*DeathSeeker: Of the 'glorious death in battle' variety. [[spoiler: On the verge of death she doubts the 'glorious' aspect. "Is this the glorious death we sought? It feels so cold..."]]

I call us homeless soldiers, reduced to petty mercenaries." That shared childhood of training makes them a unified culture.

* [[spoiler: {{Adorkable}}:]]
{{Adorkable}}: He's awkward in personal relationships, especially with women.]]
* BladeOnAStick:
BladeOnAStick: His halbred.
* BloodKnight:
[[spoiler:ChildOfRape:]]
BloodKnight: Like all leondians, he loves fighting
*[[spoiler:ChildOfRape: Gothon captured his mom and raped her before she escaped]]
*CombatPragmatist: RuleNumberOne of Leondian training states 'victory is the only thing that matters'. Rule number two states 'honor is for the weak'.
*HeManWomanHater: A strange example. He grew up surrounded by female soldiers, idolizes his warrior queen mother and has a great relationship with his sister (who has actually seen more combat then him) but doesn't take BadassPrincess Dainar seriously and for some reason thinks women care about nothing but shopping and pinning flowers to their dresses.
*[[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: After transforming into Mordak, he kills himself to prevent himself from killing Dainar.]]
*JerkAss: He's rude, insenstive, and downright mean.
**[[spoiler: JerkassFacade. Its a mask to compensate for inner toughness. He's actually an {{Adorkable}} self-depricating MommasBoy.]]
* TheLancer:
TheLancer: Sets a contrast with Dainar.
* [[spoiler: LoveRedeems: His relationship with Dainar makes him a kinder and nobler person. Thus giving him HeroicWillpower.]]
* AManIsNotAVirgin:
[[spoiler: AManIsNotAVirgin: Justified here. According to Leondian law, no one can take part in combat unless they have at least one child. Being a virgin means being a non-combatant which means being deadweight.]]
* MommasBoy:
MommasBoy: Idolized his mom as the ideal warrior and she's the one he wants revenge for.
* TheNeedless:
TheNeedless: Due to his training he can go for weeks without sleeping. Food and water are still required but he can much longer without them then anyone else in the party.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy:
ProudWarriorRaceGuy: First a deconstruction: a childhood spent on martial training means he has no idea how to do anything more than fight and march. Then a reconstruction:
*{{Revenge}}: His chief motivation for the quest is to kill Gothon for razing his homeland.
* TheSpartanWay:
TheSpartanWay: The lifestyle of all Leonidans is intense physical training from the age of five. There is enough evidence to call it ''[[TropeMaker the original]]'' spartan way.
* SuperPoweredEvilSide:SuperPoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler: halfway transforming into Mordak makes him far more powerful but it also makes him a mindless killing machine.]]
*[[spoiler: YouKillItYouBoughtIt: By killing Mordak he turns into Mordak.]]

* DirtyCoward: Initially, he would run away from any and all danger and wanted nothing to do with Dainar or her quest. He grows out of it and by the Eastern Alliance Arc [[spoiler: he calls Emperor Gothon a 'Final Fantasy' reject to his face, while the emperor's prisoner.]]

*BigSisterInstinct: Toward Erowin.
**BigSisterMentor: Taught her martial arts and tries to keep her away from bad habits like drinking during the day.



* HeroesPreferSwords: She carries one and is very skilled with it but never uses it to stab anyone. TruthBringer has never tasted blood since it was made.

[[folder: Erowin]]
*BadassDamsel: She looks and acts like TheIngenue, and she is, but she's no slouch at defending herself.
*[[spoiler: BackFromTheDead: Mordack kills her and yet she comes back to help out on two occasions.]]
*[[spoiler: BrotherSisterIncest: She's Ben's twin sister and she's in love with him, but she might not have known before becoming an angel.]]
*CantHoldHerLiquor: One drink can make her drunk enough to jump on stage and dance.
*TheEmpath: She can sense and influence the feelings of others, which she uses to calm wild animals and sense hostile intent.
*FriendToAllLivingThings: Even the non-cute ones.
*GreenThumb: She can make vines spontaneously grow.
*HealingHands: Even the brink of death is not an obstacle. [[spoiler: After she becomes an angel this power goes UpToEleven: death itself is no longer an obstacle.]]
*MartialPacifist: "I hate violence of all kinds." *kicks a banelord* "Except in self-defense."
*[[spoiler: MindLinkMates: "We're twins; united in body and soul." Presumably being Ben's twin serves as an 'anchor' or something and that allows her to stick around and help after Mordak kills her.]]
*NoSelfBuffs: She can't use her healing power on herself.
*[[spoiler: SpiritAdvisor: After dying she takes this role until the climax.]]
*TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: As a dragokin she can handle mooks. As an angel she can effortlessly NoSell the Big Bad's best shot.]]

[[folder: Dainar]]
*BadassPrincess: And famous for it!
*[[spoiler: BabiesEverAfter: Implied to he's pregnant at the end.]]
*BeingGoodSucks: She wonders if her merciful nature is a curse because her enemies keep coming back to torment her.
*TheHero: She leads the group, she fights the battles, she has the HeroicSpirit. Its lampshaded by Ben in the bonus art how she gets the 'meaty story lines' despite not being TheProtagonist.
*HeroesPreferSwords: She carries one and is very skilled with it but never uses it to stab anyone. TruthBringer has never tasted blood since it was made.
*HonorBeforeReason: Dainar takes her Thou Shall Not Kill thing very seriously. Enemy soldiers were overrunning her kingdom's capital but she refused to do more than disarm them because they were conscripts.
*TheLeader: A type II for Team Good.
*PlayingWithFire: Its her BreathWeapon.
*{{Protectorate}}: First it was her kingdom, but after it fell, she swears to protect Ben.
*RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Famous for enforcing the law and delivering justice in her dad's kingdom
*SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: At first she couldn't stand [[spoiler: Kalak]] because he was a {{jerkass}}. When she finds out this is a JerkassFacade and he's actually a good guy, she's all over him.
*TheTease: Accussed of this by Kalak.
*TheirFirstTime: [[spoiler: with Kalak, and is understandably miffed that he stays aloof afterward.]] As per the trope it worked because it was spontaneous.
*ThouShallNotKill: No matter who it is Dainar will not kill them, though some people really ask for it.
*WingedHumanoid: They grow out of her back.

* MacguffinBoy: Emperor Gothon makes it clear early on that his reason for conquering Dainar's kingdom was to capture Ben. [[spoiler: He thinks its beacuse Ben's soul can save his dying wife, but its acutally because Kazebar wants the boy's latent power to travel between worlds.]]

[[folder: Ben]]

*ButNowIMustGo / IChooseToStay: [[spoiler: He tries to TakeAThirdOption and go home but use his power to travel between worlds to visit Draconica, but Dronor says he has to take that power away. After thinking about his worried sick mother and encouragement from Erowin he decides to go home.]]
*DirtyCoward: Initially, he would run away from any and all danger and wanted nothing to do with Dainar or her quest. He grows out of it and by the Eastern Alliance Arc [[spoiler: he calls Emperor Gothon a 'Final Fantasy' reject to his face, while the emperor's prisoner.]]
*TheHeart: This is his functional role in the group; emotional support.
*LoveRedeems: His CharacterDevelopment is jumpstarted by a desire to 'look macho' in front of Erowin, his crush.
*MacguffinBoy: Emperor Gothon makes it clear early on that his reason for conquering Dainar's kingdom was to capture Ben. [[spoiler: He thinks its beacuse Ben's soul can save his dying wife, but its acutally because Kazebar wants the boy's latent power to travel between worlds.]]
*ObliviousToLove: Despite noticing [[spoiler: Dainar's crush on Kalak]] and said relationship's development, he's oblivious to Erowin's crush on him.
*OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: In defiance of what almost always happens next, he '''stays''' an ordinary high school student. [[spoiler: By the time he finds out that he has a unique power to travel between worlds, at the end of the story, Dronor says he has to take it away from him to make sure a villain never gets their hand on it again.]]
*ShoutOut: Many of them from Red Bull to Metallica to Final Fantasy, and all of them are played for laughs because no one knows what he's talking about.
**LampshadeHanging: One of them was used to lampshade a particularly relevant plotpoint: [[spoiler: "This must be how [[StarWars Luke Skywalker felt!]]"]]
*SupportingProtagonist: Its his story but Dainar gets the limelight. He lampshades this in the bonus art at the end, where he complains to the author and artist about how he is a 'bit character in his own story'.
*TookALevelInBadass: Deconstructed. He never becomes an asskicking warrior because he doesn't have the time or equipment to do so, but he does become significanly braver over the course of the story.
**Played for laughs at one point where he finds a suit of armor that more or less fits him and says he looks like an asskicking warrior. Then he falls over and says he'll leave the fighting to Dainar and Kalak.
