History DarthWiki / MRLDJourneyOfTheLastVessel

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Averted. All team members are new to fighting. Meral is only a team leader due to her importance to the Master Emerald, not because of asskicking.

* BarefootSage: She DoesNotLikeShoes, but does wear them for on-foot travel. Also doubles as MagicalBarefooter and EarthyBarefootCharacter.

* NotGoodWithPeople: Her social awkwardness makes it hard for her to push directives on the team. Thankfully, Lavender and Mysti understand her and Ginny quickly gets used to her.

* HeroWithBadPublicity: As a runaway maidservant, she has a poor reputation within the high caste of Castra Regina (mostly because of Regina herself). The further they get, the more Flora actually looks like she has a HundredPercentAdorationRating.

* TheUnfavourite: The team is almost universally disliked, in contrast to the other teams' HundredPercentAdorationRating.

* AttentionWhore

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: She spins a lot.
* TheFightingNarcissist

* NoblewomansLaugh

* CrapsaccharineWorld: Mitama is located in a mass of stone and infertile clay appropriately called the Cursed Islands. Sina even elaborates when calling out in a city when someone points out that apparently a "rush of greenery" had taken the country. Sina immediately answers that the Eastern have seen waves of starvation deaths in the last years and that people have used various means to recolor the clay [[InsaneTrollLogic in a futile attempt at making it farmable]] or [[DespairEventHorizon to see some green one last time before they die]].

* HeroWithBadPublicity: As a runaway maidservant, she has a poor reputation within the Southern capital (mostly because of Regina herself). The further they get, the more Flora actually looks like she has a HundredPercentAdorationRating.

* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Knowing Goldie can kill with eye contact, she looks into her eyes for one second, then takes her soul out of her body to fake her own death, framing Goldie for her murder and putting the Matel sisters and the entire Northern separatist movement into PR hell.

* HeroWithBadPublicity: [=ASIDgate=] is a nationwide scandal, yet the team still defends the Southern Kingdom (from the Eastern, anyway).
* LonelyTogether: Barring Imperia, the team is held together because the Southern Kingdom at large hates them.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Imperia tries to veer the team towards its objective: quelling the Atian separatists, but it doesn't work because Acido is in favor of the movement, Sally is personally uninvolved and sides with Acido, and Dia doesn't care because she has already done it three years ago and they're back.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The team isn't very well put together, which wasn't helped by the lengths Acido was pushed to by Imperia and the backlash that ensued.

* UnscrupulousHero: While agreeing to protect the Southern Kingdom from threats, she doesn't include the Northern independence movement as a threat. When Southerners attack Northerners in a border town, Acido chooses to attack the Southerners, with only Sally and Imperia stopping her from actually committing murder.

* HeroWithBadPublicity: The Southern Kingdom portrays her as a sadistic monster following [=ASIDgate=], but she's unambiguously a positive person who's even ashamed of the fight that caused her bad publicity.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Despite herself: she's doing so to honor her word to Acido. Despite that, she tries to turn Team ASID towards the northern separatists and the eastern invaders rather than her own kingdom.

* FallenHero: Gains a reputation as such during [=ASIDgate=]. Dia was last seen around three years ago, rounding up a northern rebellion attempt. As she comes back [[EvilCostumeSwitch dressed in dark yellow]] and joining team ASID, her appearance is a final exclamation point to the scandal.

* ToxicFriendInfluence: She sometimes encourages Acido's antagonism of the southern kingdom, and always follows.

* MiddleChildSyndrome: Melone isn't as strong as her big sister Honey or as kind as her little sister Cerise, so she seeks to make a difference in a way. Her regret is that her difference ends up being friends with Acido and having to mend the link between her and the Southern Kingdom.
* MoralityChain: To Acido, though they don't meet all that often.
* SiblingTriangle: Inverted: she's the one who develops romantic feelings for Acido and Neo.
* SixthRanger: When the Eastern invasion starts and Dia leaves, Acido calls her to patch the team up.
* {{Telepathy}}: Downplayed with her semblance, ''Emofeel'', allowing her to instantly understand people's emotions. She developed her talents in dealing with people from that point to a point where it was assumed she was one.
* ThreateningMediator: She tries to mend the relationship between her friend Acido and the Southern Kingdom, and sometimes threatens a party with outright conflict with the other to get them to cooperate.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Before appearing on screen, she's known as a hero and Razz set a good precedent for niceness... but Dazz is nothing like she appears.

* SmallNameBigEgo: Her reputation is helped by actually thwarting a northern rebellion three years ago, but didn't achieve too much considering the northern separatism is right back three years later and she's not helping this time, instead reveling in her fame.

* YouCanBarelyStand: Just after Silvia heals her, Lectrie is ready to chase after the Eastern... only for Silvia to allude to the trope as she entrusts Lectrie to the care of medical staff before taking off.

--> The northern independent movement's team. The known members are the Matel sisters, Goldie, Silvia, and Tina. [[spoiler:Their fourth member turns out to be Neo Chan, Acido's sister and a beloved soldier of the South, who deserts.]]

* AffablyEvil: Despite all of them being strong fighters, they want to resolve their conflict with the Umonra peacefully.

* TheDreaded: The three are powerful fighters, with the abilities of each posing a threat to the heroes.
* MartialPacifist: Used against them. Despite being pacifistic, their powers and the Southern Kingdom's refusal to give an inch leads to Lavender's gambit.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She wants nothing but the best for Atia, trying a peaceful movement towards separation so noone is harmed, and is wary of any engagement she has to partake in, knowing her power.

* OneHitKill: Goldie's ''Golden Eye'' can instantly knock out and even kill just from looking at her in the eye. The longer she prolongs eye contact with the target, the deadlier it becomes.

* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: After curing Lectrie, they fall for each other.

* TheParagonAlwaysRebels: After the TournamentArc, Neo announces her support of the Northern separatist movement. A "perfect soldier" turning on the Southern Kingdom doesn't please Imperia at all, but she is barred from intervening by the rest of Team ASID, as Acido also supports the movement and Sally and Dia simply don't care.

* TronLines: Neo can pump herself into a SuperMode featuring these running across her body.

--> The Eastern Kingdom's "team". Despite never being together, they function towards a single goal.

* InNameOnly: The team isn't really a team as Sina and Mikado are never active at the same time; Mikado only goes into action right after Sina's last appearance, though she does mention Sina.

* LadyInWaiting: As Mikado's personal retainer, she has a high level of authority. She leads the invasion in Mikado's stead.
%% * MMagicalEye: She has a [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eye]].
* NinjaMaid: Wears a maid outfit as a symbol of her service to Mikado, and is leading the effort to seize the Master Emerald for her until she shows up personally.

* DangerousSixteenthBirthday: She became Empress at her sixteenth birthday. The Eastern Kingdom is in steady decline since she rules, though not entirely by her fault.

* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: While powerful and an able ruler, Mikado's pride puts her numbers and her kingdom in danger, as she refuses to ask the Southern Kingdom for help.

* HitmanWithAHeart: She was hired by Koa, but is genuinely involved and no longer sides with the Eastern Kingdom for money.
* InspirationalMartyr: Tries this by hanging herself in public after a long rant about life in the Eastern Kingdom. [[spoiler:Ultimately subverted by Koa, who saves her.]]

* SadClown: While friendly on the surface, witnessing the rampant starvation in the Eastern Kingdom has given her a brutal shock that she never shakes off.
* StepfordSmiler: She's generally smiling, but she is genuinely shocked by her experience in the Eastern Kingdom.

* CatGirl: Transforms into one as ''Dash'' activates.

* FriendlyEnemy: She's leading an invading force but nonetheless remains friendly and would be walking to the Master Emerald without a fight if the Mage family and then the entire Southern Kingdom didn't take issue with that. In fact, her not being here to fight the Northern is the reason they just let her pass.

* HandicappedBadass: She's blind, yet is one of the Eastern Kingdom's bet warriors.

** CainAndAbelAndSeth: Through the Southern Kingdom, Imperia is known as the next Queen, and Regalia is a noble with lots of political clout (despite her "throwing away" her status as heir to the throne).

--> The Queen of the Southern Kingdom by blood.

* MismatchedEyes: Subtly, since both her eyes are yellow-green, but one is more yellow and the other more green. It mostly shows her wackiness.

* MismatchedEyes: She has a [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] MagicalEye.

* LawfulPushover: She often gets walked over by everyone, letting whoever's in front of her have the last word. Regalia knows that she's way too soft, which is why she takes over the team reunion meetings.

* RoyalMess

* From: Castra Regina (born in Arcadia)

* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Imperia tries to veer the team towards its objective: quelling the Atian separatists, but it doesn't work because Acido is in favor of the movement, Sally is personally univnvolved and sides with Acido, and Dia doesn't care because she has already done it three years ago and they're back.

* Age: 14
* Semblance: ''Master Vessel''

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Plays a nice girl in front of the crowd as long as their eyes are on her.

* Age: 14

* OneHitKill: Goldie's ''Golden Eye'' can instantly knock out and even kill just from looking at her in the eye. The longer the prolonged eye contact, the deadlier it becomes.

* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Her reputation as TheDreaded omits that she's 14 years old.
* FriendlyEnemy: She's friends with Nyx, even though they are enemies.
* SuperpowerLottery: ''Platinum Star'' alone makes Tina a BornWinner, giving SuperStrength and SuperSpeed, with RequiredSecondaryPowers, and even extreme precision enabling the invisibly-fast PressurePoint PureEnergy ''Platinum Attack''. Despite being made out to be pretty overpowering, she knows she can't sleep on anyone she fights due to their own powers generally being more unique and unpredictable than hers.

* TronLines: Neo can pump herself into a SuperMode featuing these running across her body.

* Age: 15

* OnlyChildSyndrome: Almost inverted: few characters have no known siblings.

* CrapsaccharineWorld: The Eastern Kingdom is located in a mass of stone and infertile clay appropriately called the Cursed Islands. Sina even elaborates when calling out in a city when someone points out that apparently a "rush of greenery" had taken the country. Sina immediately answers that the Eastern have seen waves of starvation deaths in the last years and that people have used various means to recolor the clay [[InsaneTrollLogic in a futile attempt at making it farmable]] or [[DespairEventHorizon to see some green one last time before they die]].
* FeudalFuture: The world has high technology, yet is entirely divided between two kingdoms, with some tribal societies being the only thing that has any semblance of independence from either.

* SiblingTeam: Averted. There's four teams, none including any of the possible sibling pairs. Despite the fact that there's only few characters in the cast outside of the Eastern Kingdom that don't have a sister.

* WhiteAndGreyMorality: Explored within the story, as the [[{{Wutai}} Eastern Kingdom]]'s motivation is not explored by the protagonists' side, but it's clear that they are NobleDemon at worst. The Northern separatists are also clearly pacifistic.
* {{Wutai}}: The Eastern Kingdom.

* GranolaGirl: While born in the Southern Kingdom Capital, she quickly became this after Flora and her left.

* AffablyEvil: Despite all of them being strong fighters, they want to resolve their conflict with the Southern Kingdom peacefully.
* TheDreaded: The three are powerful fighters, with the abilities of each posing a threat to the Southern Kingdom loyalists.

* ISurrenderSuckers: She [[CapturedOnPurpose surrenders herself to the Southern Kingdom for capture]] and is set to be interrogated by Regalia... and when it's time, [[PlayAlongPrisoner she instantly knocks out her captors and meets her on her own terms]].

* DePower: What would happen to the entire world if the Master Emerald was destroyed is that magic simply wouldn't exist.

** InvincibleHero: Meral loses only once. during the TournamentArc, to Neo. However, this is only the case because team MRLD is usually fighting together.
* MagikarpPower: To a degree, her semblance, ''Master Vessel''. While it allows her to host the Emeralds of Power and eventually the Master Emerald (which will make her nothing short of a PhysicalGod), before she goes on her quest and gets even a single Emerald, it does nothing.

* CuteBruiser: Without the use of another's powers, Razz is solely a melee fighter.

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Razz can easily be mistaken as weak, but ''Heart of All'' is one of the strongest powers of any kind. With it, Razz is able to [[AllYourPowersCombined gain power and abilities from all who wish to lend their abilities to her]], [[InstantExpert with no learning required to mimic them perfectly]]. With moral support, Razz is as powerful as the rest of the team combined, barring specific uncopiable powers like semblances and the Emeralds of Power.

* From: Mt. Mineril

* TheQuietOne: While not to the extent of Wisteria or Mysti, she's normally a quiet person.

* ShyBlueHairedGirl: She starts out very withdrawn. While her general calm remains, she grows out of her shell over the story.

* StuffBlowingUp: Desiree's main combat-usable power.

--> The team formed by Honey. Tasked with preparing the population to a time of crisis and train up the other adventurers.

* BeefGate: The team is referred to by Acido as one, referring to HNDW as "a bunch of violence that Wisteria points in a general direction" and something they need to avoid.

* DarkIsNotEvil: She's likely to back up Daff in getting the team to avoid confrontation.
* FreakyFashionMildMind: She's actually outgoing and friendly, despite for all intents and purposes being a goth.

* MightyWhitey: She was born into royal service, but took to the {{Commune}} she settled in within months.

* LadyInWaiting: She served as one to one of the southern queens.

* From: Bellamore (born in Praetoria)

* AloofBigSister: To Daff of Team HNDW. Lavender even discusses about it with her due to having her own in Wisteria.

* GildedCage: Flora was raised in the royal castle, but left with Daff when she was mistreated as a servant.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: As a runaway maidservant, she has a poor reputation within the Southern capital. The further they get, the more Flora actually looks like she has a HundredPercentAdorationRating.

* FailedASpotCheck: Meeting Sangria is a slap in the face to her, as they are standing in opposite sides, and Sangria points out Ginny forgot to check where she stood on the whole situation.

* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Imperia tries to veer the team towards also quelling the northern separatists, but it doesn't work because Acido is in favor of the movement, Sally doesn't care at all and sides with Acido, and Dia doesn't care because she has already done it three years ago and they're back.

* HeyYou: Calls anyone outside of her team as this.
* JadeColoredGlasses: She grows to quickly hate the "nameless nobodies", and doesn't go along with the southern patriotism of most of the other teams.
* KnightInSourArmor: She only fights the northern separatist movement to delay it because the eastern pose a bigger threat, and still only fights the eastern kingdom's invasion because there's already enough trouble as it is. When Mikado makes it to the continent, Acido even complains that the eastern kingdom wasn't coming close to the southern capital, because she could have leveraged her assistance.

* ThenLetMeBeEvil: She's pretty hurt by her ZeroPercentApprovalRating following [=ASIDgate=]. Regina's reaction lead her to be as disrespectful towards anyone as she can afford to be.

* From: A swamp near Levitia

* DeadlyUpgrade: Due to Acido's experiment, her Semblance is increasing in strength and constantly activated, leading her to become less and less firm, and it will kill her if left alone for too long.

* PowerDegeneration: As time goes on, her body gets softer and softer until, after a long time, even her bones become too soft to hold her up.

* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: Sami makes it a secret to anyone outside her village that she's royalty, but Imperia blows it to Team ASID. This surprises Sally, who is also a friend of Sami's.

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Razz can easily be mistaken as weak, but her semblance, ''Heart of All'' is one of the strongest, making her the strongest of the team, as she is able to [[AllYourPowersCombined gain power and abilities from all who wish to lend their abilities to her]], [[InstantExpert with no learning required to mimic them perfectly]]. With moral support, Razz is as powerful as the rest of the team combined, barring specific uncopiable powers like semblances and the Emeralds of Power.

* PowersDoTheFighting: Lazuli starts with no combat experience and fights with only her powers. Her SummonMagic, Lazurite, acts by itself, though as a manifestation of her true will.

* RealityWarper: After she masters Lazurite, her powers can change reality to a degree. It remains limited by her own personal strength.

* {{Determinator}}: Desiree's semblance ''Force of Will'', increases her strength and power as she pushes herself.

* GravityMaster: Her semmblance is limited gravity manipulation. She often uses it to fly while meditating.

* NotGoodWithPeople: Her social awkwardness makes it hard for her to push directives on the team. Thankfully, Lavender and Mysti understand her (though Mysti doesn't even say so), and Ginny quickly gets used to her.

* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Knowing Goldie can kill with eye contact, when she looks into Goldie's eyes for one second, she takes her soul out of her body to fake her own death, framing Goldie for her murder and putting the Matel sisters and the entire Northern separatist movement into PR hell.

* TheQuietOne: Mysti speaks so rarely, even Flora, herself a stoic, refers to her as insanely quiet.

* TerseTalker: Generally talks little. Apparently she talks more with Wisteria, but that never happens on screen.

* DrunkenMaster: Downplayed. She has the same skills, but her drunkenness removes the inhibition that would hold her back from hurting opponents.

* MoralityPet: She's the only moral point of Team ASID, surprisingly enough.
* NighInvulnerability: Sally is nearly invulnerable to physical attacks due to her ''Soft Body'' ability, which is innate after Acido's experiment.

* DanceBattler: Fandy in fact insists on dancing to style on her opponents. Though her dance also pumps up her energy, making this a PracticalTaunt of sorts.

[[folder:Sangria Coholli]]
!!!Tropes associated with Sangria:
* CoolBigSis: Ginny absolutely adores her.
* GoodBadGirl: Sangria is fond of drinking wine and light-headed flirting. Nonetheless, her heart is always in the right place, and she serves as an OlderAndWiser mentor.
* NeverGetsDrunk: Of the "strange to begin with" variation, though a very mild variation. Unlike Ginny, who is frequently drunk, Sangria is extremely hard to get inebriated. It gets chalked up to age and what amounts to "I fell into it when I was a kid".
[[/folder]]

* ChromeChampion: She can change her entire body into metal.
* TheDreaded: To Dia, who has experience fighting her and knows she can even negate her [[TimeStandsStill Time Zone]].

* FriendlyEnemy: She's friends with Nyx, even though, being from different countries, they are enemies.
* SuperpowerLottery: Tina is a pretty good winner, having SuperStrength, SuperSpeed, with RequiredSecondaryPowers, and even extreme precision enabling PressurePoint attacks. Despite being made out to be pretty overpowering, she knows she can't sleep on anyone she fights due to their own powers generally being more unique and unpredictable than hers.

* CoolBigSis: Acido tried to [[BigSisterWorship emulate her]].

* DangerousSixteenthBirthday: She became Empress at her sixteenth birthday. The Kingdom is in steady decline since she rules, though not entirely by her fault.

* CatGirl: Evokes a lot of the traits, but isn't actually one, only a KindheartedCatLover.

* FriendlyEnemy: She's leading an invading force but nonetheless remains overall friendly and would be walking to the Master Emerald without a fight if the Mage family and then the entire Southern Kingdom didn't take issue with that.

* ModestRoyalty: She was so modest that she threw away royal status to live with the people and do what she enjoyed more, swimming in the river.

* LawfulPushover: She often gets walked over by everyone, letting whoever's in front of her have the last words. Regalia knows that she's way too soft, which is why she takes over the team reunion meetings.

* CrapsaccharineWorld: The Eastern Kingdom is a mass of stone and infertile clay. Sina even elaborates when calling out in a city when someone points out that apparently a "rush of greenery" had taken the country. Sina immediately answers that the Eastern have seen waves of starvation deaths in the last years and that people have used magic and other means to recolor the clay in [[InsaneTrollLogic a futile attempt at making it farmable]] or [[DespairEventHorizon to see some green one last time before they die]].

* OfficialCouple: There are a few. Lazuli and Desiree pair up during the story. [[spoiler:In the end, Dazz and Dia, who were together before, reunite.]]

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Razz can easily be mistaken as weak, but her ''Heart of All'' makes her the strongest of the team (as far as the story goes), as she is able to [[AllYourPowersCombined gain the powers of all who wish to lend their abilities to her]], [[InstantExpert with no learning required to mimic them perfectly]]. With moral support, Razz is as powerful as the rest of the team combined.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Desiree starts looking for love in the team with her powers, Lazuli is the one with a LuminescentBlush far stronger than the others (even though she's the one calling out Desiree for "pulling something"). By the end, they are an OfficialCouple.
* PowersDoTheFighting: Lazuli starts with no combat experience and fights with only her powers. Her SummonMagic, Lazurite, has its own will.

* AnimalMotifs: She has a bee motif.

* SecretKeeper: Lavender knows Mysti as a family friend. However, she also knows Mysti is a friend to Wisteria, not her.

* TrueSight: Her semblance is this.

* JadeColoredGlasses: She grows to quickly hate the "nameless nobodies", and doesn't go along with the general plan to "save the kingdom".
* KnightInSourArmor: She only helps fight the northern separatist movement and the eastern kingdom's invasion because there's already enough trouble as it is. She even complained that the eastern kingdom wasn't coming close to the southern capital, because she could have leveraged her assistance.
* MadScientist: Shortly.
* NeverBeHurtAgain: Acido struggles with accepting Sally's devotion to her and Imperia's desire to make amends.

* ThenLetMeBeEvil: She's pretty hurt by her ZeroPercentApprovalRating following [=ASIDgate=]. This leads her to be as disrespectful towards anyone as she can afford to be.
* UnscrupulousHero: While agreeing to protect the Southern Kingdom from threats, she doesn't include the Northern independence movement as a threat. When Southerners even attack Northerners in a bordertown, Acido chooses to attack them, with only Sally and Imperia stopping her from actually committing murder.

* GoneHorriblyRight: Telling Acido she would join her if victory was guaranteed. Acido held her to it, demonstrating Sally and Lectrie's powers in knock-out fights against royal guards. Technically, none of Acido's teammates that were presented this day lost, so victory was guaranteed.

* PrettyPrincessPowerhouse: Best displayed early, as her team basically bullies the pretty out of her getup.
* PrincessInRags: Forced on her by Dia, who pelted her royal garments with mud. At first, she takes offense, but gradually she humbles herself and takes somewhat in stride the fact that she can throw down with the commoners.

* ShelteredAristocrat: She was one. Her having to adapt into the outside gives her a CharacterArc of sorts.

* UnexpectedSuccessor: Regalia was punted off the line after her naming ceremony, as she chose a designation of decorum. The trope has worn off in nine years.

* TheCynic: She doesn't trust her team, or even her own sister.
* FallenHero: Gains a reputation as such during [=ASIDgate=]. Dia was last seen three years ago, rounding up a northern rebellion attempt. As she comes back [[EvilCostumeSwitch dressed in dark yellow]] and joining team ASID, her appearance is a final exclamation point to the scandal.

* TheObiWrong: Her role to Meral immediately after the journey starts. Her personal experience with Dazz leaves her to advise Meral to kick Razz off her team.

* RefusalOfTheCall: When Meral asks her to come with her to the Capital, Dia initially refuses. She only follows her in secret.

* SurroundedByIdiots: She thinks everyone other than her is either an idiot, a bitch, or both.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: She sometimes encourages Acido's antagonism of the kingdom, and always follows. When Acido pulls Team ASID out of a village rescue, Dia is gone faster than her.

* MiddleChildSyndrome: Melone isn't as strong as her big sister Honey or as kind as her little sister Cerise, so she seeks to make a difference in a way. Her regret is that her difference ends up being childhood friends with Acido and having to mend the link between her and the Southern Kingdom.

* BookEnds: She is only seen in the first arc as a villain and in the last moments as a hero.
* BreakupBreakout: When Meral pulls a shaken Razz out of the way of interviewers, Dazz goes and taunts Meral by saying she had broken out by breaking up with Dia.
