7	The main protagonist and player character, Loaf is a bread golem accidentally brought to life by Papa Baker.
8
9	----
10	* AmusingInjuries: Crushed, set on fire, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking swarmed by butterflies]], Loaf has to go through a lot to traverse the map.
11	* AnthropomorphicFood: He is made of dough.
12	* ClearTheirName: His initial goal in chasing after Jester was to prevent Papa Baker's execution for allegedly conspiring with him.
13	* CombatPragmatist: Unlike the rest of the party, Loaf will use any weapon he can get his hands on.
14	* DeadpanSnarker: Most of his responses that aren't puns are him making a dry and witty comment. He is a ''very'' sassy child.
15	* EveryoneHasStandards: For all the wackiness they get up to, even Loaf can point how silly it is to clean music instruments by whacking them with a ladle.
16	* PungeonMaster: Whenever the player is given a chance to respond, one of the choices likely includes a pun of some kind.
17	* SuperDrowningSkills: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], given he is made of flour dough. When asked to dive underwater, the player can respond he's absorbent.
18	* SuperPrototype: Of a sort. The recipe that created Loaf [[spoiler: was eventually altered to create the Ember Empire's undead soldiers]].
19	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Papa Baker's pastries.

21
22	[[folder:Lint Longtale]]
23	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_4680.png]]
24	A young raccoon and amateur storyteller that Loaf and Papa Baker find lost in the Forest of Roots.
25
26	----
27	* CowardlyLion: Well, raccoon actually. Lint may not be the bravest of the team, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t fight.
28	* FurryReminder: He comments during one of the camping sessions that he likes to chew cables.
29	* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Wears a jumper and nothing else.
30	* NoSenseOfDirection: It seems to be a family trait.
31	* PlotArmor: Invoked. Lint's ultimate skill draws on his refusal for a main protagonist to die before the end of the story to revive a knocked out Loaf.
32	* ShownTheirWork: Lint says that he studied narratology, and it shows, such as when he corrects a guard as to what an IncitingIncident is with a detailed definition. Many of Lint's moves are also named after narratology terms.
33	* TheStoryteller: While he may not be confident in his own abilities, but he is a great storyteller with a head chock full of ideas. He is such a great storyteller, that he managed to reach the heart of a giant ape named Leif.
34	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cupcakes.
35	* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: In the finale, Lint decides to write a book about their adventures, but warns Loaf about some embellishments, like the dragon they saved...and the six princesses...and Loaf's EvilTwin...
36	[[/folder]]
37
38	[[folder:Dub Drago]]
39	A dragon and Saver in training, Dub joins the group when the rest of the Savers guild don't consider the party worthy of their time.
40
41	----
42	* AwesomeButImpractical: His setup may let him stream the party's adventures live, but he can only do his job as a Saver because he scattered dozens of modems around the kingdom ahead of time, and there's always the risk his laptop will run out of batteries.
43	* CassandraTruth: No matter how many times he says it, nobody believes he's a dragon, or that his family owns an airship. [[spoiler: At least until they actually meet his family.]]
44	* CrazyPrepared: Inside of a cave? At the bottom of a mountaintop monastery? ''In the belly of a whale?'' Just how did he get those modems there?
45	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: During battles, Dub can be seen sitting on various things in the background while typing away on his laptop.
46	* HeightAngst: Which does him no favors in convincing people he's a dragon.
47	* JustifiedSavePoint: Saving the game amounts to Dub chronicling your adventure.
48	* OhCrap: Normally he doesn't have a problem streaming the party's fights, but he's noticeably anxious against the [[FinalBoss final bosses]].
49	* OurDragonsAreDifferent: They don't grow wings, for one.
50	* SpeechImpediment: He has a noticeable stutter.
51	* SupportPartyMember: Dub never does any fighting, but is possibly the most vital member of the party by providing both save points and proof of their acomplishments.
52	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cinnamon rolls.
53	[[/folder]]
54
55	[[folder:Yagi Senshi]]
56	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_4815.png]]

58

60	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: He's looked down upon by his peers for his lack of brains and child-like passion.
61	* BareFistedMonk: Yagi is a skilled warrior in kung fu.
62	* BloodKnight: It doesn't take much for him to want to fight.
63	* DumbIsGood: He's a noble warrior and also as dumb as a post.
64	* DumbMuscle: If it has nothing to do with fighting, he is utterly clueless.
65	* EnlightenmentSuperpowers: Among other things, he can manifest ethereal lotuses, and form ki clones to attack.
66	* HotBlooded: Yagi is one passionate goat who loves sparring with people that are as strong as him, especially his rival Kakoi. It's actually this trait that made him a subject of mockery by his peers, who all see him as nothing more than clown because of his hammy antics.
67	* LargeHam: He is a very expressive fellow, even by the cartoony standards of the characters. His various goofy faces are the subject of mockery by his peers.
68	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Noodle soup.
69	[[/folder]]
70
71	[[folder:Chloe Coldstock]]
72	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_4679.png]]
73	A daughter of the Coldstock family, Chloe aspires to become a detective.
74	----
75	* AmateurSleuth: She hopes to one day open a detective agency, but wants some cases under her belt first.
76	* GreatDetective: Whether her family thinks so or otherwise, she is a great detective.
77	* NotNowKiddo: Her parents dismiss her detective work as her merely playing games despite how serious she is about her aspirations. Her dedicated side quest is all about making her father see her potential as an investigator.
78	* TokenHuman: She's the only human member of the party.
79	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Hot Chocolate.
80	[[/folder]]
81
82	[[folder:The Final Member (Spoiler Alert)]]
83	Alfie, a member of Jester's gang who comes to decide that destroying the world might not be such a hot idea. To view her tropes, look in her entry under Jester's Gang.
84	[[/folder]]
85
86	!Other Characters
87	[[folder:???]]
88	A mysterious person who appears throughout Loaf's adventures looking for her children.
89
90	----
91	* FramingDevice: The game starts as a story she's telling, through it's never brought up again.
92	* MorphicResonance: Assuming they're actually the same person, the guard who give Papa Baker Loaf's recipe shares her hair color and yellow eyes.
93	* MyNameIsQuestionMarks: Just something else you'll never learn about them.
94	* RiddleForTheAges: Why does she have a bunch of spirits as children? How did she have Loaf's recipe? What connection does she have to the city of doors? Good luck ever getting answers to any of that.
95	* SkillScoresAndPerks: She's responsible for giving you skill points in return for her children.
96	[[/folder]]
97
98	[[folder:Papa Baker]]
99	The personal chef for the queen, Papa Baker accidentally creates Loaf when following a special recipe.
100
101	----
102	* AdoptTheFood: He doesn't hesitate to adopt Loaf at all.
103	* DistressedDude: The first chapter is kicked off by Her Majesty unjustly locking him up due to her unfounded suspicions that he was in cahoots with Jester's gang. [[spoiler:Then he gets kidnapped by Jester to force Loaf to hand over the Sunstone shard he took from Io.]]
104	* HypocriticalHumor: In his own words, "never do what adults do, just what they tell you to!"
105	* ThePowerOfLove: The reason the raise bread spell worked for him [[spoiler: and not the Ember Empire]] was because he always makes all his meals with love.
106	* SupremeChef: He not only brought Loaf to life, but can give him new specials upon receiving the proper ingredients.
107	[[/folder]]
108
109	[[folder:Her Majesty]]
110	The ruler of the kingdom, her false accusations against Papa Baker are what drive Loaf after Jester.
111
112	----
113	* ChildHater: And she won't hesitate to let you know it.
114	* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Which makes it more remarkable that her soldiers are all so lazy around her.
115	* InsaneTrollLogic: Seeing Loaf and Jester in the same room is enough to convince her Papa Baker is in cahoots with the villains, and her testimony against him is that only magic could be used to turn dough into bread. Meanwhile, she dismisses photographic evidence of his innocence, but begrudgingly accepts a nigh-illegible letter testifying to his innocence.
116	* ItsAllAboutMe: Even when she's about to pardon Papa Baker and the party is to receive their hero titles, she still claims it's her big day.
117	[[/folder]]
118
119	[[folder:Professors Beryl, Brown, and Rose]]
120	A trio of scholars accidentally responsible for releasing Jester's crew. They maintain an archives in Royal Town's castle and can be found around the world to fill out Loaf's Bestiary and Map.
121	----
122	* ColorCodedCharacters: Beryl, Brown, and Rose wear green, brown, and pink outfits, respectively.
123	* ForScience: They're willing to do practically anything in the name of knowledge, which is what sets off the game's plot.
124	[[/folder]]
125
126	[[folder:Number One]]
127	The top hero of Royal Town. Despite her reputation, she's not the nicest person.
128	----
129	* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: She believes she's the hero and that anyone who remotely disagrees with her is the villain, and she refuses to compromise on her beliefs for even a second.
130	* {{Determinator}}: She spends the story relentlessly pursuing Jester and his gang to execute them, even managing to follow them into the bowels of a whale.
131	* DidntSeeThatComing: [[spoiler:Dub streaming her confrontation with the party live completely undercuts any chance she had of spinning them as the villains.]]
132	* EveryoneHasStandards: She's a colossal bully, but she flatly rejects Jester's attempt to bribe her.
133	* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: [[spoiler:Her rank after her true nature airs isn't nearly as glamorous.]]
134	-->'''Yagi''': [[spoiler:Number 73,411...]] Doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?
135	* {{Jerkass}}: Her first action in the story is to break protocol by having Loaf and Lint fight Snowstorm in order to become heroes officially, with full expectation that he'd wipe the floor with them. She gets worse from there.
136	* KarmicTransformation: [[spoiler:After her first defeat in the Primordial Whale, she falls into a vat of unidentified ooze. She ends up emerging some time later as a twisted monstrosity permanently merged with her blade and armor that perfectly matches how monstrous she is on the inside.]]
137	* KnightTemplar: She plays JudgeJuryAndExecutioner to all criminals, even when she's explicitly ordered not to.
138	* MookHorrorShow: Jester's segments where she's in pursuit of him play out like something out of a slasher movie.
139	* MysteriousPast: According to her trading card, no one really knows where she came from.
140	* PerpetualSmiler: Except on the occasions where she's really angry, she usually wears an insincere grin of her face that [[SlasherSmile turns nightmarish]] when she's on the job.
141	* {{Sadist}}: Though Jester and his gang are not harmless by any means, she's ''way'' too happy about the prospect of cutting them apart
142	* ScrewTheRulesImFamous: If she can't bully someone into submission physically, then she'll slander them and rely on her reputation to make it stick.
143	* WorldsBestWarrior: There's a reason her name is Number One.
144	[[/folder]]
145
146	!Jester's Gang
147
148	[[folder:Jester]]
149	The prince of the Ember Empire, Jester's attempts to revive his home form the main threat the party has to face.
150
151	----
152	* ElementalEmbodiment: He looks like he's made of fire (or rather ember, which is a distinct element from fire in the setting).
153	* TheHeavy: As the leader of the main villain group, he's the main antagonist from the heroes' POV, but his father is the actual BigBad.
154	* InadequateInheritor: The people of the Ember Empire and even his own father never had any faith in him and only ever saw him as a screw-up, which is why he is so hellbent on restoring the Ember Empire.
155	* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: He aggressively throws his weight around and constantly emphasizes his role as his gang's leader to mask his immense insecurities over being seen as an InadequateInheritor by his people.
156	* TookALevelInJerkass: He becomes progressively more belligerent and demanding towards his gang as the story progresses due to his obsession with restoring the Ember Empire.
157	* WellDoneSonGuy: The biggest reason he wants to revive the Ember Empire is to prove he can be useful to his father.
158	[[/folder]]
159
160	[[folder:Alfie]]
161	Jester's closest friend.
162
163	----
164	* AnchorsAway: Her Guitar is also an anchor, which can come in handy getting from one place to another that is just out of reach.
165	* {{Cyclops}}: She only has one eye.
166	* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:A mutual example between her and Jester. He's outraged when she decides against Jester's father's plan to resurrect the Ember Empire, while she's equally hurt when Jester ditches her and the rest of his gang to carry out the plan himself.]]
167	* FieryRedhead: Alfie has hair that's as read as Loaf's shirt, emphasizing her zealous and brash nature.
168	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:She joins Loaf's group after they inform her that the restoration of the Ember Empire will lead to the destruction of the world.]]
169	* {{Pirate}}: Zig-zagged. Her weapon of choice is an anchor and all of her attacks are named after nautical and pirate terms, but she isn't an actual pirate.
170	* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:She's convinced to become a party member without having to come to blows with Loaf's group.]]
171
172	[[/folder]]
173
174	[[folder:Klein]]
175	A former gladiator who fought under Sid's family.
176
177	----
178	* BloodKnight: As a former gladiator, he hungers for a good fight. The lack of any opponents who can stand up to him in Mount Lamasery's martial arts tournament causes him to get more riled up than usual.
179	* TheBrute: Much like Yagi, he enjoys problems he can punch his way through. Unlike Yagi, he has no restraint and will throw down with anyone who annoys him.
180	* {{Foil}}: Klein is combat-hungry warrior like Yagi, but has no patience for following rules.
181	* OneWingedAngel: When he initiates his boss fight, he becomes an even more muscular giant with horns of pure energy.
182	* SoreLoser: Upon losing to Loaf's group, he immediately demands a rematch and insists his defeat doesn't count.
183	[[/folder]]
184
185	[[folder:Io]]
186	A sorcerer friend of Jester's.
187
188	----
189	* TheArchmage: We don't know how good she was compared to the rest of the Ember Empire, but she's far more proficient at magic than anyone in the modern age.
190	* InsistentTerminology: She's a sorcerer, not a witch. Sorcerer sounds more refined.
191	* MagicVersusTechnology: She's not that optimistic about combining magic with modern technology...but isn't discounting the possibility it could work.
192	* OneWingedAngel: When she initiates her boss battle, she opens her cloak up, revealing everything underneath to be a mass of ethereal energy.
193	* VillainBall: After tricking Chloe into handing over the Sunstone shard to her, she could've just dipped. Instead, she decides to fight Loaf's group just to take care of them for good and ends up losing the shard in the scuffle. However, it's of little consequence as Jester steals the shard from Loaf not too long afterwards.
194	[[/folder]]
195
196	[[folder:Sid]]
197	The final member of Jesters entourage.
198
199	----
200	* BaitAndSwitchBoss: He steps up to defend Jester in the Primordial Whale, seemingly about the initiate a boss fight. [[spoiler:Then Number One's horribly mutated form drops in and knocks him out, taking his place as the main boss.]]
201	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: The reason he's willing to follow Jester even as Jester starts showing signs of impaired judgment is because he just wants to feel included in something.
202	* NonHumanHead: His head is a fireball. Unlike Jester, the rest of his body is human...[[AmbiguouslyHuman or as human as citizens of the Ember Empire get, anyway]].
203	* TheUnfought: Unlike the rest of the group, he isn't fought [[spoiler: and never joins the party]].
204	[[/folder]]
205
206	!Other Antagonists
207
208	[[folder:The Ember Emperor]]
209	[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Emperor of the Ember Empire]], and Jester's father.
210
211	----
212	* AbusiveParents: By all accounts, he saw Jester as a disappointment and constantly demeaned him, which is why he's so desperate for his approval. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, the Emperor only ever saw him as a tool to be discarded and found his presence annoying.]]
213	* BigBad: He's ultimately the one responsible for Jester's actions, and the only one who stands to benefit from them.
214	* DemBones: [[spoiler:He's nothing more than a skeleton by the time he appears.]]
215	* KnightOfCerebus: The light comedic tone of the game immediately takes a darker turn whenever he's brought up as it becomes clear that a lot of Jester's problems come from his father being an abusive monster, to say nothing of the horrifying remains of his attempts to create an eternal army. [[spoiler:He gets even worse when it's revealed that he thinks so little of his son that he intends to manipulate Jester into sacrificing his own life to resurrect himself.]]
216	* NoNameGiven: Only addressed as the 'Ember Emperor'.
217	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:He didn't have a problem with Jester's death, if it mean the restoration of his throne.]]
218	----
