History Characters / TrappedOnDraconica

* [[spoiler: {{Beethoven Was an Alien Spy}}: In the book's epilogue, [[spoiler: it's revealed that he managed to escape being destroyed at the last minute to take possession of an unborn child from a different world at a different era. Named Adolf.]]

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: by a random mook arrow]]

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: Early on in the last stand.]]

* MarriedToTheJob: She life begins and ends with the military; she's estranged from her only family, rarely sees her only friend, and the possibility that her soliders will reject her leadership sends her into a breakdown.

* FourStarBadass: General.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: She replaced her grandfather as the noble minded general of Baalria's army.

* MeaningfulRename: His full name is 'Finn Taurok' but he always referred to by his last name in first book. Now that he's a good guy, the narration switches to his first name. This means that he's on a FirstNameBasis [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall with the audience.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's done a better job ruling Baalaria than Gothon and doesn't hold his country's bad reputation against those that hold it.

* [[spoiler: ThePowerOfLove: He uses this to temporarily overturn Mordack's control and then to exorcise the monster from his own body in addition to Zarracka's.]]

* MoralityChain: Revealed to have been this for Kalak all along. Once he dies, Mordack stirs, Kalak's marriage decays and he visists Zarracka for comfort.

* MoralityPet: Invoked by Fin. When he wants to prove that he's not evil he points to his loving wife.

* [[spoiler: RasputinianDeath: He's killed or exorcised three times in this book: the first time Kalak and Zarracka beat him up in the mindscape, then Kalak kissed the evil out of Zarracka (his back up body) then Rana scattered his physical remains into a thousand pieces with a hurricane gust. The two from the previous book brings the grand total up to five. Justified by a combination of YouKillItYouBoughtIt and BodySurf.]]

** [spoiler: Legacy of the Dragokin reveals that this was not her first time.]]

** Refusing to train Benji means he jumps into danger ''without'' skill necessary to get out of it or the self-disciple to stay out of it in the first place. This almost gets her and Lydia killed.
* OverProtectiveMom / FantasyForbiddingMom: She doesn't want Benji to follow in her foot steps so she does everything she can to keep him away from battle and danger. [[spoiler: Benji is not her first child; that one died because she jumped into battle while pregnant thus causing her to overcompensate.]]

[[spoiler: ThePowerOfLove: He uses this to temporarily overturn Mordack's control and then to exorcise the monster from his own body in addition to Zarracka's.]]

!!The following applies to him in Legacy of the Dragokin

* SequelSuddenInstantDeathSyndrome: He dies sometime between the end of the first and the beginning of the second; presumably of old age.

!!The following tropes apply to her in Legacy of the Dragokin
* GameBreakingInjury: She is badly injuried at the start and then overuse her electric powers sends her into a comma. Because of that she is missing from many battles and the narration often notes that she is not at full strength.

* HotConsort: Defied. Traditionally she would have been this but Finn changed the love so she can rule ''with'' him instead of ''next to'' him.

* TookALevelInKindess: She has a warmer and kinder personality here because she's no longer in bitter isolation and dropped the 'I hate men' mindset.

!!The following tropes apply to him in Legacy of the Dragokin
* BadassGrandpa: Technically he always this but now his granddaughter is fifteen and his age comes up more often.

* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Inverted. Lucia is slender, skilled with magic, avoids fighting, and holds little interest in gold or industry. Thus, he's closer to an elf than a tradiitonal dwarf. Whether all dwarves are like this is unknown because he's the only one in the setting

** ''Legacy of the Dragokin gives her two more: 1. She's wants to have children but can't because she's sterile; 2. After her mom died eeveryone focused on Daniar and ignored her.

* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: Accepting a power boost from Mordak]] transforms her ice weapon into flying ice daggers and increases her strength above dragokin levels.]]

!!The following tropes apply to it/him in Legacy of the Dragokin
* [[spoiler:BodySurfing is how he has always survived but now he can plan for it. He offered Zarracka power because it would allow him to make her his backup body. He hoped to do this to the BigBad but the heroes anticipated that it and prevented it.]]
* HumanityEnsuses HumanityIsInfectious: Spending ten years in a human's mind absorbing emotions and watching him interact has allowed this mindless weapon to develop a sense-of-Self.

* [[spoiler: RasputinDeath: He's killed or exorcised three times in this book. The two from the previous book brings the grand total up to five. Justified by a combination of YouKillItYouBoughtIt and BodySurfing.]]

* [[spoiler: RasputinDeath: He's killed or exorcised three times in this book. The two from the previous book brings the grand total up to five. Justified by a combination of YouKillItYouBoughtIt and BodySurfing.

* [[spoiler: BodySurfing: How he has always survived but now he can plan for it. He offered Zarracka power because it would allow him to make her his backup body. He hoped to do this to the BigBad but the heroes anticipated that it and prevented it.]]

* [[spoiler: RasputinDeath: He's killed and/or exorcised three times in this book. The two from the previous book brings the grand total up to five. Justified by a combination of YouKillItYouBoughtIt and BodySurfing.

* BadassGrandpa: Technically he always this but now his granddaughter is fifteen and his age comes up more often.

* MissFanservice: Her first outfit is a low-cut dress. Her second is a ChainmailBikini. This lampshaded by many people

* BadassPrincess: And famous for it!

* FlyingBrick: Daniar's use of this trope is justified: She is a dragokin, a human blessed by a dragon god with dragon-like powers, and what are dragons know for besides flying, breathing fire, and being very strong?

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Famous for enforcing the law and delivering justice in her dad's kingdom

* BlowYouAway: Rana's BreathWeapon is the ability to exhale hurricane force breath. Hinted to be quite powerful as Zarracka states she can "knock back entire legions with just a sneeze".

* OurElvesAreBetter: They're called 'shadori', and have purple skin. He doesn't put on airs and in fact it's the opposite. His human soldiers think they're better than him and don't want to be lead by him.

* [[spoiler: BackFromTheDead: Mordack kills her and yet she comes back to help out on two occasions.]]

* FreudianExcuse: She was spoiled by her mother and then banished for [[spoiler: seeking attention by]] summoning an emperor ghoul in the capital. The only reason she started working for Gothon is because she was living in a city that he conquered.

* WhereIWasBornAndRazed: Pre-story she summoned an emperor class fire ghoul [[spoiler: in a desperate bid for hero-style praise and attention]] that almost trashed Britannia's capital. In the main narrative she is vital in Baalaria's victory over said capital.

* [[spoiler: {{Beethoven Was an Alien Spy}}: In the book's epilogue, [[spoiler: it's revealed that he managed to escape being destroyed at the last minute to take possession of an unborn child from a different world at a different era. Named Adolf.]]]]

* 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.

* 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.]]

* 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 Daniar seriously and for some reason thinks women care about nothing but shopping and pinning flowers to their dresses. [[spoiler: WordOfGod says this is part of his JerkAssFacade because he felt insecure among so many strong women when he himself had never seen combat.]]

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

* SupportingProtagonist: Its his story but Daniar 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'.

* 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.

* PlayingWithFire: Its her BreathWeapon.

** [[spoiler: JerkassFacade. Its a mask to compensate for inner toughness. He's actually an {{Adorkable}} self-depricating MommasBoy.]]

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: She lived in a desolate mountain cave for years yet she's still a knock-out beauty. [[JustifiedTrope However]], the narration notes that 'dust itself was afraid to touch it (her dress)'. Its possible she used her ShockAndAwe powers to create a DirtForcefield.

* ChainmailBikini: Justified. Its a 'strip down version' she made because she didn't want to wear the normal and all covering version in a desert. The other solders are completely covered.

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: How Gothon rewards her for failing twice over. [[spoiler: throwing her, tied up, into a pit with a giant monster. The monster in question was a herbivore and thus harmless. All it did was scare her shitless, make her beg for her life, and ruin her dress with its slobber.]]

* 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

* TheHeart: This is his functional role in the group; emotional support.

*

* SuperBreath: Her BreathWeapon. Hinted to be quite powerful as Zarracka states she can "knock back entire legions with just a sneeze".

[[folder:Mordack]]

* [[spoiler: YouKillItYouBought: Can invoke this on anyone that defeats it.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After serving his role in the plot, he disapears and is never heard from again.

* SuperBreath: Her BreathWeapon. Hinted to be quite powerful as Zarracka states she can "knock back entire legions with just a sneeze".

* SuperBreath: Her BreathWeapon.

* Superbreath: Her BreathWeapon.
