* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Has a hell of a guilt complex develop over the course of the series.

* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler: Of both the investigation and the series as a whole.]]

!Ghostbeaters Against Evil
[[folder: Ghostbeaters]]
A group first formed as a joke by Pablo. After Ash defeats Kandar and disappears, it becomes a genuine deadite-hunting group.

!! Tropes that apply to the group as a whole:
* BadassCrew: What they are, with each member having a particular moment to shine.

[[folder: Brandy Williams]]
!! Brandy Barr-Williams
!!! '''Age''': 27\\
'''First Appearance''': Series/AshVsEvilDead
-> ''”There’s two ways this all ends. Either we or they have to die. No in-betweens.”''
Ash Williams’ biological daughter. After Ash defeated Kandar and was sent back in time, she took up the mantle of the evil-killer, and became the leader of the Ghostbeaters. Strong-willed and crude, she strikes fear into the heart of every deadite.

* AnArmAndALeg: Lost her leg in a deadite attack soon after Cris lost their eye. She now sports a prosthetic leg installed with multiple blades.
* BackFromTheDead: Was killed by Ruby, but was brought back by Ash before he was sent back in time.
* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: Fiercely protective of Cris, especially after their possession.
* DisappearedDad: Never knew her father before Ash came into her life. Doubly true after he disappears again.
* HandicappedBadass: Missing a leg, but still widely feared as a killer of the dead.

[[folder: Cris Williams]]
!! Cris Faucher-Williams
!!! '''Age''': 25\\
'''First Appearance''': Series/AshVsEvilDead
-> ''"And may the Lord bless us with good food and drink, and at least a fifty percent chance for us to make it out alive." ''
Ash Williams’ biological son, who he finds after the deadites begin to target them. Bitter and closed off after they were forced to kill their possessed mother, they soon grew to love Ash and the Ghostbeaters. After Ash disappeared, they moved in with their half sister Brandy and began to help her hunt down the remaining evil dead.
----
* ActionSurvivor: They’re a normal guy from a normal town thrown into a deadite-infested war zone. They manage to survive nonetheless.
* AndIMustScream: During the three months Asmodeus is possessing their body, they are essentially trapped in their own mind, aware of time passing but unable to see what’s happening. At one point Brandy has a hallucination of where Cris was: a prison cell, [[RoomFullOfCrazy with messages and dates scratched into the walls]].
* BatterUp: They wield a metal bat as their main melee weapon, stolen from the grocery store they used to work in.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Played with. Despite being younger than Brandy, Cris is incredibly protective of her, especially after her death and subsequent resurrection.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Constantly talks to themselves, practices catchphrases in the mirror, and has an entire ritual for cleaning and storing their weapons. Despite this, they’re one of the few hopes the world has against the deadites.
* DeadpanSnarker: They inherited it from Ash.
* DemonicPossession: Was possessed by Asmodeus for ''three months''. Understandably, this resulted in decent amount of SanitySlippage once they got their body back.
* DisappearedDad: Neither Ash nor them knew of their relation to the other, and as such Cris was raised without a father for most for their life. It happens again after Ash is sent back in time.
* EyeScream: They lost most of their right eye in a deadite attack. Worried that they could become possessed, they then used a ''melon baller'' in order to remove the rest of it.
* HandicappedBadass: Missing their right eye. While they can’t aim very well and often have to rely on Brandy for shooting, they’re still as badass as they were before.
* HerosClassicCar: Ash left them and Brandy the Delta when he went back in time. Unfortunately, [[DoesNotDrive they don’t have their license]], so Brandy drives it.
* KidHero: What they were during the events of Series/AshVsEvilDead. However, they eventually became…
* KidHeroAllGrownUp: After the ten year timeskip.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Doesn’t remember losing their eye. Justified, however, given what had happened before.
--> '''Cris''': To be perfectly honest, I don’t remember losing my eye because it was my 21st birthday and I was blackout drunk.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Despite not knowing him until they were a teenager, they managed to inherit Ash’s signature snark and ass-kicking ability.
* LongLostRelative: One of Ash’s unknown children from a one-night stand, just like their sister.
* MirthlessLaughter: Prone to laughing when scared for their life. If pushed too far, it results in a laughing fit similar to their old man’s.
* NoodleIncident: Given the large gap between their first appearance and now, it makes sense that a lot of the things they bring up haven’t been shown on screen. For example…
** Cris’ senior prom, where a good chunk of the students were possessed and had to be put down. Including Cris’ date.
** After they lost their eye, they failed their driver’s test by almost driving off a bridge.
** The last family reunion they attended ended badly, to the point of fistfights breaking out. They won’t mentioned if they were involved in or were the cause if any of the fights.
** They’ve apparently caused multiple people to faint with their fake eye.
* NumberTwo: Brandy’s right hand man and the second-in-command for the Ghostbeaters, despite being the youngest.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: Nearly said word for word before Ash leaves to fight Kandar.
--> '''Cris:''' Dad, what are you doing?
--> '''Ash:''' I have to go, kiddo. Your old man has some unfinished business.
--> ''' Cris:''' ''[choked up]'' No, no, that’s not fair. I just got you back. Don’t leave me yet.
* SanitySlippage: After being possessed by Asmodeus, they become much more paranoid and jumpy. Luckily, this begins to go away as they begin to heal.
* ScarsAreForever: Due to the above EyeScream, they have a gnarly looking scar running from their eyebrow to their cheek, with most of the damage hidden behind their fake eye.
* SiblingTeam: Works with their sister Brandy after their father’s disappearance to fully kill off the deadites.
* TookALevelInBadass: In their first appearance, they were the TagalongKid who occasionally got a kill. In the ten years between the series, they've become much more powerful.

[[folder: Kat Harrison]]
!! Kathy "Kat" Harrison/Gemstone
!!! '''Age''': 28
-> ''"Keep the music playing, y'all."''
A musician who became a solo act after her bandmates were slaughtered by deadites. Perpetually half-lidded and almost certainly baked, she somehow managed to charm Brandy, and the two have had a steady relationship since.
----
* BadassNormal: All she has against the deadites is her gun, her guitar-turned-axe, and her wits, but remains a part of the Ghostbeaters.
* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: Always has these, whether due to her stoner tendencies or perpetual tiredness.
* HiddenDepths: She mentions winning multiple spelling bees when she was in high school, as well as having some of her writing sent to a newspaper, suggesting that she's talented in language as well as music. Additionally, she occasionally has traces of EruditeStoner, being able to quote poetry and philosophy while under the influence.
* LetsGetDangerous: Despite her very... distracted demeanor, there's a reason she was the only survivor of her band.
* NiceGuy: One of the most pleasant people in the cast. She's a good listener, fiercely protective of her loved ones, and generally very laidback and mellow.

[[folder: Poe]]
!! Cristopher "Cris" Faucher/Poe
->''"Attention, ground crew? This is your captain speaking--we're about to have a wild ride."''
After becoming too curious about their professor's lab, Cris was taken from their college life and experimented on. With their new wings and bird-like powers, they escaped with the help of Victor Haywell, and laid low for about two decades. Now, healing from their trauma and trying to better themselves, they have adopted the alter-ego of Poe, using their powers to improve the corrupt and dying city they live in.

* HurtingHero: While they love protecting their city, they're often seen as a freak of nature. In addition to their DarkandTroubledPast, having to be reminded that they'll never be normal again wears on them more than they let on.
* MeaningfulName: Named their alter-ego after Edgar Allen Poe. During their imprisonment and experimentation, Victor would often recite poetry such as TheRaven to Cris to help calm them.
* StepfordSmiler: Covers up their inner turmoil and self-hatred with a cheeky grin and a one-liner.
* WingedHumanoid: The experiments performed on them grafted wings onto their back. After the wings are healed, they are fully operational and are one of Poe's main strengths.
