* AmbiguousGender: Stör.

to:

* [[LondonGangster Altdorf Gangster]]: Ebenezer.
* AmbiguousDisorder: Ebenezer's pathological lying, desire for extravagance and acclaim, almost total lack of concern for others, fits of rage and naked self-interest lead one to wonder if he might qualify as a narcissist or sociopath.
* AmbiguousGender: Stör. Characters variably refer to Stör with male, female and neuter pronouns; Stör answers to them all.



* AntiHero: Every main character, with the exception of Stör, is either morally shady or a straight-up criminal. The opening episode's description describes them as a "motley band of misfits, hustlers and thugs".
* AttentionWhore: A huge chunk of the plot revolves around Ebenezer's desire for recognition and acclaim.
* BerserkButton: Don't mess with Ebenezer's plans. Justified, in that he spends almost every waking hour plotting to improve his lot.
* BigEater: Seraphina, who stands 3'11", eats and drinks more than the average human.



* BookSmart: Seraphina, the only member of the party who can read fluently, possesses three Lore skills, three intellectual Trade skills, and [[{{Omniglot}} speaks several langages]].
* [[UsefulNotes/BritishAccents British Accents]]: Some of the various accents of the Empire are represented by these: working Altdorfers and other town-bred Reiklanders speak with Cockney accents, Middenheimers with gruff North London accents, Averlanders with Welsh accents, Mootland Halflings with thick West Country accents, and so on.



* ButtMonkey: Everyone, depending on the episode.



* Cloudcuckoolander: Nornghal and Stör both fill this role sometimes.



* TheDungAges: Emphasis on the dung.



* ItsAllAboutMe: Ebenezer's motivations revolve almost entirely around self-preservation and self-betterment.



* MotorMouth: An InformedAttribute of Seraphina's - it's established that she speaks very quickly, as Halflings tend to do, but this is deliberately downplayed for the purposes of intelligibility during the recordings.



* TheNiceGuy: Stör.



* NoSocialSkills: Fellowship is Nornghal's DumpStat. Steve plays him as abrupt, unsubtle and asocial rather than vile, but he has a hard time getting people to heed or like him.



* RedOniBlueOni: Ebenezer's hyperactive, greedy, law-breaking nature and [[StreetSmart street-smarts]] versus Seraphina's calm steadiness, preparedness, fondness for taking calculated risks, and book-learning.

to:

* RedOniBlueOni: Ebenezer's hyperactive, greedy, law-breaking nature and [[StreetSmart street-smarts]] versus Seraphina's calm steadiness, preparedness, fondness for taking calculated risks, and book-learning.[[BookSmart book-learning]].
* SanityBall: Generally held by Seraphina (the most rational member of the group) or Stör (the most morally upright), although Ebenezer (the most intuitive) and Nornghal (the most determined) all catch hold of it sometimes.


Added DiffLines:

* SophisticatedAsHell: Seraphina has the largest vocabulary of any character, and curses like a sailor.
* SpeechImpediment: George speaks with a mild but noticeable lisp.


Added DiffLines:

* VerbalTic:
** "At this/that point," from George, when something occurs that breaks the flow of an in-character action or conversation. The other players occasionally use this too.
** "Okay," with an upward inflection from George, as play changes topic or scene.
** "Right," from Ebenezer.
