1	%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample entries are not allowed on wiki pages. All such entries have been commented out. Add context to the entries before uncommenting them.
2
3	A "terrorist" organization from ''Roleplay/AcademyOfMerlin'', dead-set on bringing forbidden magical arts back into common practice.
4
5	All characters, unless otherwise mentioned, are played by '''Jennalaia'''.
6	----
7	[[foldercontrol]]
8	[[folder:Universal Tropes]]
9	* AchillesHeel: Each member of the Pact is Branded with a Brand that enables them to shift the burden of casting taint-inducing magic onto another object. While their greatest strength, this can also be considered their greatest weakness, as damage to the Brand could mean some gruesome consequences.
10	* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Most Blood Pact members are pretty nasty. There are a few exceptions, though, including Lara, Thor, and the whole of Unit 17.
11	%%* BadassCrew: The units that are dispatched.
12	%%* BadPowersBadPeople: Most of the world's view, and true in some characters' cases. Subverted in special cases, such as Lara.
13	* EqualOpportunityEvil: If you've got a grudge or want to help them reach their goals, it doesn't matter if you're a man, woman, or anyone in between. You'll get hired.
14	* EvilPlan: Every Unit has one. What it ''is''... well, that's another matter. Much of the plot can involve finding out what the Unit is really up to.
15	%%* NotEvilJustMisunderstood
16	* OffstageVillainy: Most of the Blood Pact's acts of terrorism don't happen in the RP itself and are only mentioned.
17	* PowerTattoo: Brands are part of a system that grants Pact members the ability to cast taint-inducing magic without fear of being tainted. It has its drawbacks, though.
18	* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Pact uniforms consist of a red jacket and mask and black pants and boots. Seeing five people with red jackets anywhere is enough to make most magicks nervous.
19	* ResignationsNotAccepted: Heavily implied. Lara is terrified to leave for fear of her own life. Peter, when he wanted to leave, disappeared mysteriously for a few days and returned with no indication that he wanted to go.
20	%%* StandardEvilOrganizationSquad
21	%%* TheUsualAdversaries
22	%%* WellIntentionedExtremist: The Blood Pact is a group of these. Mostly.
23	* YouRebelScum: Much of the Pact rebelled against their respective families and joined to make a difference.
24	%%* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: Well, at least the Pact has a good view of themselves.
25	[[/folder]]
26
27	!Combat Faction
28
29	The combat faction is the largest faction of the Blood Pact. Combat units frequently go out to complete missions, which may involve strategic assassinations, bombings, or public stunts. Every member of a unit is trained in combat and, while all are deadly on their own, generally work best together as a team.
30
31	[[folder:Unit One]]
32
33	The team that heads the whole of the largest faction, the combat unit, and controls the entire Pact in general. Shrouded in mystery, they made their first appearance in ''The Pet Project''.
34
35	!!Ezrael Blake
36	[[quoteright:116:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ezrael_2.png]]
37
38	The Leader of Unit One. Previously disguised as the Leader of Unit 13. He hasn't yet made an appearance though.
39	----
40	* TheBusCameBack: Vanished almost completely after the first arc, and now he's back with not much explanation.
41	* EarlyBirdCameo: Appeared all the way back in Arc I, and then again in Arc II. He's back in a much more prominent role for Arc III.
42	* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Ezrael's appearance and entire identity were obscured for a while.
43	* ImAHumanitarian: Ezrael was weakened when he created Ahellia, and to regain his power he aims to tear out her heart and eat it while it's still beating. It's also implied Musoke took Teyo's body to him as a snack.
44	* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Apparently directed the events of ''The Pet Project'', and his appearance parallels L6's with white hair.
45
46	!!Ipos
47	[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ipos.png]]
48	[[caption-width-right:100:[[labelnote:click here to see their demon form]][[quoteright:174:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ipos2.png]] [[/labelnote]]]]
49
50	The Shield of Unit One. A rather uninterested person that would rather play video games than run meetings in the Leader's absence.
51	----
52	* AscendedExtra: Originally appeared as a one-shot character in a Scarlett event, and has returned as a Blood Pact agent.
53	%%* TheBerserker: There is a very good reason why Ipos is positioned as the Shield. A very. Good. Reason.
54	* BewareTheQuietOnes: Don't be fooled by his quiet, nonthreatening appearance--Ipos can pack a ''very'' sharp punch.
55	%%* BlackEyesOfEvil: The reason they don't open their eyes normally.
56	* EarlyBirdCameo: Appeared all the way back in Arc Two as a side character in a Scarlett event.
57	* EyesAlwaysShut: For a ''very'' good reason--they're hiding BlackEyesOfEvil.
58	* HornsOfVillainy: Two of them; each different colors. Their wings are their horns' colors combined.
59	* PersonOfMassDestruction: As a berserker demon, Ipos can cause a ''lot'' of damage once they lose themselves.
60	%%* SlasherSmile: Mmm, just look at them pearly whites.
61	* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Threw their spear and killed Labron's opponent in ''The Pet Project''.
62	%%* UnstoppableRage: Once he enters berserker mode.
63
64	!!Zilli
65	[[quoteright:134:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zilli.png]]
66	[[caption-width-right:134:[[labelnote:click here to see their demon form]][[quoteright:224:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zilli2.png]][[/labelnote]]]]
67
68	The Scout of Unit One. A very upbeat person that changes pronouns in the span of the same sentence. [[spoiler:Actually a shadow demon.]]
69	----
70	* AmbiguousGender: Zilli's pronouns change within the span of the same sentence, so it appears they really have no concept of gender at all.
71	* BlankWhiteEyes: In their natural, demon form, Zilli's eyes are solid white ovals.
72	%%* BoyishShortHair: Her hair curls around her face and doesn't go past her shoulders.
73	* CastingAShadow: As a shadow demon, she has control over the shadows and can manipulate them to his needs.
74	* TheDreaded: Labron mentions him by name to Seren and how Seren ''really'' doesn't want to fight him.
75	* FullyEmbracedFiend: Perfectly comfortable in her role as a villain and will gleefully use it to their advantage without abandon.
76	* GigglingVillain: They giggle quite a bit and are rarely seen without a grin on their face.
77	* HornsOfVillainy: Two long, spiky, solid black horns in her natural form.
78	* LivingShadow: Zilli is a shadow demon, which means her normal body is somewhat incorporeal. She can hide in someone's shadow and travel along walls, but he can be made solid with a powerful enough light source.
79	* MrFanservice: His shirt exposes his belly, which is ''very'' well toned.
80	* TheNoseless: Lacks a nose in shadow form.
81	* PerpetualSmiler: She almost ''always'' has a huge smile on her face, and is almost always in a good mood.
82	* ScarilyCompetentTracker: Was able to guide Serafina straight to the location of Unit Seventeen. Justified in that she was following the trail left by Ahellia using her power.
83	* SinisterScythe: Their preferred weapon of choice; Zilli creates a scythe out of their own shadows. It's quite sharp, too.
84	* ShadowWalker: Zilli can flatten herself against a wall and travel that way, as well as speeding through natural shadows very quickly.
85	* TheTrickster: He has this sort of personality, enjoying tricking people as often as he can.
86	* WeakenedByTheLight: Their one weakness seems to be light; only an exceptionally powerful source of it can solidify their body enough to deal any proper damage.
87
88	!!Anthea
89	[[quoteright:132:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anthea.png]]
90	[[caption-width-right:132:[[labelnote: click here to view her demon form]][[quoteright:198:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anthea2.png]][[/labelnote]]]]
91
92	The Buff of Unit One. A calm, easily distracted woman that consumes romance novels as a snack.
93	----
94	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Easily distracted by just about anyone or anything else that might catch her fancy if whatever is going on is too boring for her to bother keeping up with.
95	%%* CuteBookworm: Avid reader of trashy romance novels, which she actually eats. Has thus far consumed several copies of Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey.
96	* EyeColorChange: In her natural demon form, Anthea's eyes are yellow. Outside of it, they're grey.
97	* HellishPupils: While all Unit One members share this trope, Anthea's example is the most vivid as her eyes are a very bright color.
98	* MasterOfIllusion: As a succubus, Anthea can craft incredibly realistic illusions that can become physical.
99	%%* OddFriendship: With Pax, surprisingly. Pax thinks her boobs are nice and soft.
100	* OnlySaneMan: Frequently, among meetings. She certainly stands out as calm among her more eccentric coworkers.
101	* PerpetualFrowner: Doesn't smile easily, nor does much seem to amuse her. On the whole she seems quite apathetic.
102
103	!!Pax
104	[[quoteright:146:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pax.png]]
105	[[caption-width-right:146:[[labelnote:click here to see his demon form]][[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pax2.png]] [[/labelnote]]]]
106
107	The Tank of Unit One. Very difficult to get his interest in ''anything,'' and likes to draw. Appears to be an elf.
108	----
109	* AmbiguousGender: Responds to he/him pronouns with a femme appearance.
110	* {{BFS}}: Wields a ''massive'' sword that is about as long as he is tall.
111	* BrilliantButLazy: Pax is very, very smart, and would probably be able to use these smarts to terrifying lengths if only he was a little less lazy.
112	* EarlyBirdCameo: Originally made an appearance behind Door V when A Team went to get the final hell scroll.
113	* HornsOfVillainy: A pair of sparkling orange horns perched atop his head.
114	* MasterOfDisguise: Pax is a shapeshifting demon, meaning he has no real "true" appearance. He just happens to like the one he's wearing currently, but he can take on the appearance of anyone he chooses so long as he gets a good look at them first.
115	%%* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Appears to be a child, but he's a member of Unit One. That alone is troubling enough.
116	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Pax can take on whatever appearance he wants, for as long as he wants. Shapeshifting constantly, however, can exhaust him.
117
118	!!Musoke
119	[[quoteright:120:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/musomuso.png]]
120
121	The Infiltrator of Unit One. A confident half-dwarf that usually takes over proceedings when Leader is absent.
122	----
123	* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Universals are known to be exceptionally powerful, and Musoke is no exception. Just having the title of Universal immediately denotes one with absurd amounts of strength. They are also frequently challenged for their position as TB's assistant. They do not lose. Ever.
124	* BlindfoldedVision: Invoked. Musoke's blindfold is translucent, but they rarely take it off in the presence of others despite it actually hindering their vision.
125	* DeepCoverAgent: As Unit One's Infiltrator, they have been under ''very'' deep cover in the Secret Organization, being ranked not only a Universal, but as TB's right hand.
126	* EarlyBirdCameo: Originally appeared in a very short text exchange between themselves and TB.
127	* EnemyMine: Despises Krishna with a burning passion, but other than beating them to a bloody pulp on sight Musoke manages to maintain a civil relationship with them.
128	* EyeColorChange: Every single piece of art features Musoke with a different eye color. All of them. Every single time. Will their true eye color ever be revealed? Who knows.
129	* FightsLikeANormal: Though they are perfectly capable of creating white-hot flames, Musoke prefers to fight with their ridiculous strength.
130	* TheMole: Currently infiltrating the Secret Organization at the top level.
131	* MysteriousPast: They don't talk much about themselves, so their past and how they met TB is a muddy grey area. According to Krishna, they were originally a science experiment.
132	* NumberTwo: As the name Right Hand may suggest, Musoke is the second highest rank in the entire Secret Organization, and one of the oldest members.
133	* PaintingTheMedium: Unlike most other characters, who speak in their character color, Musoke speaks in various hues. The significance of this, if there is any, has not yet been revealed.
134	* RainbowMotif: Musoke's eyes are all the colors of the rainbow, and they are the only character that changes the color of their text handle with each message.
135	* TheReliableOne: Unlike most of the rest of Unit One, Musoke works on ensuring things get done, and it is unlikely that the Unit would progress in their plans if they did not regularly interfere with the Secret Organization's activities and push the rest of the Unit into action. It doesn't help that the Leader is frequently absent.
136	* TheStoic: A part of their Secret Organization facade; around the table of Unit One Musoke is quite expressive, but as the Right Hand they are far less expressive.
137	* TheTeamNormal: According to Krishna, they aren't actually a demon at all--they're mortal. What they ''are'' is a failed magick experiment that somehow granted them massive strength, so they're on par with the rest of the demonic Unit 1 anyway.
138	* TechnicolorEyes: Their eyes, behind their blindfold, can be described as nothing short of "rainbow".
139	[[/folder]]
140
141	[[folder:Unit Thirteen]]
142
143	The Unit of the Vivian Arc. Unit Thirteen was sent to take control of the school and Merlin's Oak. However, a leak from somewhere in the Pact [[spoiler:(later confirmed to be Ezrael)]] caused them to be discovered and ambushed, resulting in the death of one of their own.
144
145	!!Ezrael Blake
146	[[quoteright:133:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ezrael.png]]
147
148	The Leader of Unit Thirteen. [[spoiler:A demon from the Nine Circles that's been messing with humanity for... some reason.]]
149	----
150	%%* BadBoss
151	* TheBusCameBack: Reappeared on campus and caused a stir. If Muna hadn't interfered, he may have driven another Summers girl violently insane.
152	* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: The main reason he kept Vivian alive - he needed her brutality and unpredictable nature to finish achieving his own ends.
153	* TheCorrupter: [[spoiler:Responsible for Vivian going off the deep end.]]
154	%%* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a scar over one eye.
155	* ManipulativeBastard:
156	** Worded their situation in the exact way he needed to to gain sympathy from Vivian and convince her to join.
157	** He took steps to ensure Peter would be killed, purposely fucking up Unit Thirteen's ''entire mission'' in the process.
158	%%* RedEyesTakeWarning: A non-hex example.
159	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Escaped back to his own dimension during his fight with Lara. He hasn't shown up since.
160	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Other than a single cameo, Ezrael's whereabouts and motives have remained completely in the dark since first plot.
161	* WouldHurtAChild: No qualms about attacking students.
162
163	!!Lara Florafel
164	[[quoteright:121:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lara13.png]]
165
166	The Shield of Unit Thirteen. An urban elf that ran away from her rather orthodox forest tribe. Easily the most powerful character of the first arc. [[spoiler:No wonder Vivian killed her first.]]
167	----
168	* AntagonistInMourning: Her closest friend, Peter, was killed while escaping the authorities.
169	* TheAtoner: Ashamed of her actions in the Pact and is trying to find a way to make up for them.
170	* BarrierWarrior: Naturally, as the Shield, Lara is exceptionally talented at created wards, shields, and charms.
171	* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Vivian put her hand through her ribcage.
172	* FriendlyEnemy: Never really wanted to hurt the kids and was more of an ally to them than an enemy.
173	* GreenThumb: A plantwielder, and a ''very'' powerful one at that.
174	%%* HealingHands
175	* KilledMidSentence: "Vivian will come ba--" [[{{Irony}} Cue Vivian coming from her back.]]
176	%%* ALighterShadeOfBlack: When compared to the rest of her team.
177	%%* TheMedic: A healer.
178	%%* NumberTwo: To Ezrael. Technically.
179	* Really700YearsOld: Well, she's in her late hundreds, but who's counting.
180
181	!!Melanie Dickinson
182	[[quoteright:154:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/melanie.png]]
183
184	The Scount of Unit Thirteen. A human girl that joined the Pact after her parents were murdered.
185	----
186	%%* BrainyBrunette: Quite intelligent and took in information at the speed of light.
187	* TheCameo: Spotted in one of the circles of Hell.
188	%%* {{Flashstep}}: Her specialty.
189	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Her own magic did her in.
190	* HollywoodAcid: An acidwielder, though she only managed this due to Lara messing with her Sol and Luna levels.
191	%%* KilledOffForReal
192	%%* SiblingTeam: Once, with Andrew.
193	%%* SicklyGreenGlow: The color of her magic.
194
195	!!Andrew Dickinson
196	[[quoteright:153:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/andrew.png]]
197
198	The Buff of Unit Thirteen. Walking salt shaker. Now working for the Council.
199	----
200	* AntagonistInMourning: The Council works him to the bone so he has very little time to reflect on his sister's death.
201	%%* BrainyBrunette
202	* BlowYouAway: A windwielder.
203	* RedOniBlueOni: Shockingly, the red oni to James's blue. Andrew is more likely to lose his temper and act irrationally, and James is always there to pull him back.
204	* TheRemnant: One of the only two members remaining from Unit Thirteen.
205	* TheResenter: Bitterly resents the Council for getting them into this.
206	%%* SiblingTeam: Once, with Melanie.
207	%%* ShipTease: With James.
208	%%* TerribleArtist: ''Very bad.''
209	%%* {{Tsundere}}: Towards James.
210
211	!!James Shireswift
212	[[quoteright:124:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/james.png]]
213
214	The Tank of Unit Thirteen. A playboy on the run from the cops and pretending to be dead. Now working for the Council.
215	----
216	* ButtMonkey: Everyone has something to pick at him about.
217	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Stated to have a soft spot for his mother.
218	* PlayingWithFire: A flamewielder.
219	%%* ReallyGetsAround: Implied, before he joined the Blood Pact.
220	* RedOniBlueOni: Shockingly enough, the blue oni to Andrew's red. He keeps his cool despite the worsening situation.
221	* TheRemnant: One of the only two remaining members of Unit Thirteen, much to Andrew's chagrin.
222	%%* ShipTease: With Andrew.
223	[[/folder]]
224
225	[[folder:Unit Seventeen]]
226	The "winners" of Project Next Generation, an experiment in which five bunks were whittled down to a single member each to create a unit comprised of adolescents.
227
228	!!General Tropes
229
230	* ChildSoldiers: The only adolescent Unit in the Pact that have been trained into service.
231	* ChildrenForcedToKill: As children, they could slip under the radar and thus went on more assassination missions than they'll probably ever admit.
232	* DoesntTrustThoseGuys: The Unit as a whole is inherently deeply mistrustful of adults. They do, however, seem to be much more relaxed around students, though still intensely on guard. They also don't trust anyone they know is from the Pact.
233	* FamilyOfChoice: Shared traumatic experience has brought them close as a family... well, it was supposed to.
234	* FreeRangeChildren: During their hiding in Town Over. Unit Seventeen hid in an abandoned factory and were left to their own devices, mainly because they had run away from their handler and essentially defected from the Pact.
235	* HadToBeSharp: In order to survive ''The Pet Project'', each member had to be able to stand on their own. Some, like Sage, survived through pure luck.
236	* JustFollowingOrders: Their rationale for every awful deed they were forced to commit under the Pact's control.
237	* MyParentsAreDead: Jun, Labron, Paz, Saidi, and Sage's parents and direct families were all slaughtered prior to them being detained at the bunker. Ahellia's parental situation is... different.
238	* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: What their group amounts to, essentially. They don't appear to have anything in common aside from an desire to escape the Pact.
239	* TheRunaway: Labron confessed that his unit escaped from their handler, Serafina, because they want to run away from the Pact.
240	* TrappedInVillainy: None of the kids of Unit Seventeen really ''want'' to belong to the Blood Pact, it's just that they don't have any other choice.
241	* TraumaCongaLine: Aside from Ahellia, all the kids witnessed the slaughter of their families and then were forced into a horrible competition, competing against others their own age to survive and watching those around them die one by one. Paz attacked Zilli and was scarred for his efforts, and while Sage and Catherine tried to escape, they were caught and Sage took all the blame, resulting in them being locked away in a completely black room for a week. At the project's end, all five were forced to fight for their lives and watched the rest of the competition die by either their own hands or at the hands of Unit One. They were then Branded, trained, and completed several dozen missions before escaping from their handler. Just when things began to look up, Sage was attacked and lost their memory. And most of that happened ''prior'' to the plot.
242	* TrueCompanions: Over the years, the six members of Unit Seventeen have bonded very deeply. It's the reason that they refused to leave after Sage disappeared, and the reason that they won't leave without them either.
243
244	!!Sage Hawkins
245
246	The Leader of Unit Seventeen. Shouldn't be alive. Went as L6 in ''The Pet Project.'' They lost their memory and were reunited with their unit, but still have no recollection whatsoever of their life as a Leader.
247
248	For Sage's tropes, see [[Characters/AcademyOfMerlinStudents the students page.]]
249
250	!!Labron Fletcher
251	[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/labron_2.png]]
252	[[caption-width-right:100:[[labelnote:click here for his first semester design]][[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/labron.png]][[/labelnote]]]]
253
254	A tall, broad-shouldered elf who specializes in talismans. Went as [=Sh4=] in ''The Pet Project.''
255	----
256	* GreenThumb: A plantwielder.
257	* NervousWreck: Around Ahellia especially. Ahellia's tendencies to do troubling things stresses him the hell out. He's also extremely anxious when his team members leave and don't check in, crying out of relief when they return to the abandoned factory.
258	* NobodyTouchesTheHair: Nobody except Jun, anyway. Labron is protective of the 'fro.
259	* PalmBloodletting: Labron frequently cuts his palm open to gather blood, which he uses as ink for his talismans.
260	%%* PowerTattoo: His brand is located on his right shoulder blade.
261	* TeamMom: Labron is ''very'' much the worrywart, and spends most of his time trying to mediate. Recently, he's found himself forced into a leader position, something he doesn't consider himself very cut out for but has no choice but to fulfill as Unit Seventeen's current leader is missing in action.
262
263	!!Jun Tsang
264	[[quoteright:116:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jun_2.png]]
265	[[caption-width-right:116:[[labelnote:click here for her first semester design]][[quoteright:140:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jun.png]][[/labelnote]]]]
266
267	The youngest member of Unit Seventeen. A timid half-elf with very little confidence in herself. Went as [=Sc8=] in ''The Pet Project''.
268	----
269	* TheCracker: Jun is incredibly talented with magitech, possessing a remarkable knack for hacking into websites with very little effort. She's also built several programs that are heavily magic-reliant.
270	* ExhaustedEyebags: Sports these semi-permanently as her sleeping schedule is very out of whack.
271	* GirlishPigtails: Ties her hair back in pigtails, but she's not very good at it and often sleeps without taking them out, resulting in a tangled mess.
272	* GoodWithNumbers: ''Extremely'' good with technology, coding, and hacking. Jun is a prodigy in her own right.
273	* {{Magitek}}: Specializes in it; Jun uses magic, programming skills, and sparkwielding to effectively wield magitech as a weapon and a tool when it comes to scouting.
274	* MessyHair: She sleeps in her pigtails a lot and the result is a stringy mess, which doesn't really help her whole stressed image.
275	* NervousWreck: Oh boy. Jun is pretty much the walking definition of this trope, having a panic attack when she and Labron are accidentally separated in Justus. She calms down if she can locate an older brother figure, fortunately.
276	%%* PowerTattoo: Her brand is located on the back of her left hand.
277	* ShockAndAwe: A sparkwielder. Uses it to great effect with magitech.
278
279	!!Paz Volante
280	[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paz_2.png]]
281	[[caption-width-right:100:[[labelnote:click here to see her first semester design]][[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paz.png]][[/labelnote]]]]
282
283	A genderfluid dwelf with a short temper and a sharp tongue. Went as B2 in ''The Pet Project.''
284	----
285	* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Paz's hair, while dyed, matches his sharp yellow eyes.
286	* DeadpanSnarker: Most of his dialogue consists of insults, complaints, and sarcastic comments.
287	%%* DontYouDarePityMe: Hates pity in any amount and won't take any of it.
288	* DuelingScar: The right half of his face was marred by Zilli, so he covers it with hair.
289	* EyeScream: She attacked Zilli in ''The Pet Project'' and the resulting CurbStompBattle cost her vision in her right eye, which she keeps covered with her bangs.
290	* HairTriggerTemper: It doesn't take much to set him off, but he also manages to invoke this in others with how grating he can be.
291	* HidingBehindYourBangs: Her bangs cover her right eye, which was permanently blinded by Zilli.
292	* HotBlooded: Easy to rile up and definitely does ''not'' think things through before jumping into chaos.
293	* IronicName: Paz means "peace" in Spanish, which is hilarious considering her not-so-peaceful nature.
294	%%* PowerTattoo: His Brand is located over his heart.
295	* SmallNameBigEgo: He thinks quite highly of himself and his name only has three letters.
296	* StarPower: She's a starwielder.
297	%%* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Vivid yellow eyes that are usually narrowed with contempt.
298	* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: In ''The Pet Project,'' Paz was the only one of the survivors that actively killed his opponent.
299	%%* {{Tsundere}}: Around Ahellia, very much so.

301	!!Saidi Farran
302	[[quoteright:122:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saidi_2.png]]
303	[[caption-width-right:122:[[labelnote:click here for his first semester design]][[quoteright:148:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saidi.png]][[/labelnote]]]]
304
305	A friendly bigender elf who specializes in enhanced mehndi. Went as T7 in ''The Pet Project.''
306	----
307	* TheHeart: Currently trying to function as this for Unit Seventeen, especially for Labron when he works himself up too much with worry.
308	* HollywoodAcid: He's an acidwielder.
309	* MadeOfIron: Can achieve this effect by mixing his own personal mehndi. In ''The Pet Project,'' Saidi suffered a lot of abuse in his final battle and didn't feel any of it.
310	* MusclesAreMeaningless: Despite having a very slim build and very little muscle, Saidi is very strong and can pick up people much taller than him with little effort. Justified through his strength-enhancing mehndi.
311	%%* PowerTattoo: Her Brand is located on the back of her neck.
312	* SmarterThanYouLook: Saidi acts a tad airheaded, but he's quite observant and notes little details about those around him.
313	* SuperToughness: Her magical mehndi, when applied to skin and given time to sink in, can have this effect on the wearer. Saidi uses it to this effect, and this in turn is what makes her such an effective Tank.
314	* SweetTooth: Saidi has a weakness for sweet things, and as such always carries candy around.
315	* YouthfulFreckles: He has freckles scattered across his face. This may be why Sage is so fond of them.
316
317	!!Ahellia
318	[[quoteright:188:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ahellia_2.png]]
319	[[caption-width-right:188:[[labelnote:click here for her first semester design]][[quoteright:118:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ahellia.png]][[/labelnote]]]]
320
321	A mysterious, quiet individual who appears to be a hexed long-eared elf. Called Red in ''The Pet Project'' by the narrator, L6.
322	----
323	* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Ahellia is one of few words and is most often found alone, speaking up only when the discourse among her team has reached a peak.
324	* BrutalHonesty: Ahellia lacks a social filter, so she'll say pretty much whatever is on her mind at that moment.
325	%%* TheComicallySerious: Ahellia is apt to deliver most speech in a calm, even voice.
326	* CreepyChild: Ahellia is nice enough, if not a bit unnerving with some of the things she says.
327	--> '''Ahellia''': Do not be afraid, Han. I would not need an axe to murder you.
328	* GoodScarsEvilScars: It's hard to see since most of her face is covered, but Ahellia has three scars raked across her left eye.
329	* HellishPupils: Ahellia has vertical slits for pupils, a feature no one in her team comments on.
330	* ImAHumanitarian: Even for a demon, Ahellia's growth was surprisingly fast. Her secret? [[spoiler:She ate all forty-five dead children over the course of ''The Pet Project.'']]
331	* NoSenseOfDirection: Her ability to navigate Justus or anywhere is fantastically poor. Amusingly enough, Ahellia doesn't seem to notice this.
332	--> '''Ahellia''': Labron. I know the way to the Salon.\
333	'''Labron''': Please tell me one of you knows the way to the Salon.\
334	''[...]''\
335	'''Ahellia''': Labron. I've been there before. I will take you right now.\
336	'''Labron''': NO IT'S FINE PLEASE LEAD US BEFORE SHE TRIES TO.\
337	'''Ahellia''': But--\
338	'''Labron''': Ahellia, I don't want to end up in Hong Kong, okay?
339	%%* PowerTattoo: Her Brand location is unknown, even to her teammates. The other Unit members theorize it's on her tongue.
340	* RealityWarper: Ahellia has the power to move between space; however, using this ability alerts the other demons to her presence.
341	* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Averted; Ahellia dresses almost exclusively in red and black, but she doesn't subscribe to the brutal policy the rest of the Blood Pact follows.
342	* StealthPun: A'''hell'''ia's name hides her technical place of origin.
343	* TheStoic: Not easily ruffled.
344	* VagueAge: Ahellia's age is very ambiguous. In ''The Pet Project,'' Ahellia (then known as Red) first appeared as a child about eight or nine years old. As the story progressed, Red matured startlingly quickly. Ahellia now appears to be about the same age as Paz. According to Labron, she's sixteen.
345	* YoungerThanTheyLook: According to Ahellia, she is around four years old. However, physically and (somewhat) mentally, she is about sixteen.[[/folder]]
346
347	[[folder:Unit Fifty Three]]
348	The Unit of the Magickless Arc. A bomb squad that planned (and succeeded) to set off a bomb in Merlin's Oak that would gradually drain the local magicks of their power. Two were killed, three arrested, and one... well, who knows with him.
349
350	!!Gisa Meldola
351	[[quoteright:118:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gisa.png]]
352
353	The Leader of Unit Fifty Three. Currently disguised as a waitress working at the diner.
354	----
355	* AffablyEvil: She may be the leader of Unit Fifty Three, but that doesn't mean Gisa is uncouth.
356	* BadassIsraeli: A powerful healer hailing from Tel Aviv.
357	* DishingOutDirt: A stonewielder.
358	* TheInfiltration: Secured a job at the diner as a waitress.
359	%%* LackOf Empathy
360	%%* The Medic: Acts as this for Unit Fifty Three, as the only healer on the team.
361	%%* MoreDeadly ThanTheMale: Especially considering her fighting style.
362	* NoSympathy: Cold and ruthless, especially towards her enemies.
363	* SoftSpokenSadist: Hardly raised her voice as she stabbed Merchant and dug her fingers into the wound.
364	* WouldHurtAChild:
365	** Especially children that go to the Academy - Gisa is learning from Ezrael's failure.
366	** Casually ordered Leah to kill Bambi since she might prove to be troublesome later.
367
368	!!Tyme Rosales
369	[[quoteright:123:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tyme.png]]
370
371	The Shield of Unit Fifty Three. Currently disguised as a worker at the apothecary.
372	----
373	* AffablyEvil: Quite polite to everyone, even those they're going to oppose sooner or later.
374	* BarrierWarrior: The best at manipulating any sort of magical barrier. This is their job of course, since they're the Shield.
375	* TheInfiltration: Secured a job at the apothecary.
376	* LackOfEmpathy: Just like the rest of the Unit, Tyme has a hard time empathizing with their targets.
377	* MysteriousMist: A mistwielder.
378	* OnlySaneMan: Refuses to indulge in a lot of their team's ridiculous antics.
379	* TheStoic: Doesn't display too much emotion.
380	* UnnecessaryRoughness: Okay with a few extra people dying if it gets the job done faster.
381	%%* WouldHurt AChild
382
383	!!Acwel Autumncrest
384	[[quoteright:129:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/acwel.png]]
385
386	The Scout of Unit Fifty Three. A regular patron of the diner, though he acts more clumsy than he really is.
387	----
388	* BlankWhiteEyes: Self-inflicted in an attempt to sharpen his eyesight. Instead, he faded his eyes and went blind.
389	* BlowYouAway: A windwielder.
390	%%* DisabledSnarker: Quite so.
391	* DisabilitySuperpower: He's hypersensitive to any changes in the air, so he can more or less "see" his surroundings and anyone's movements.
392	* HandicappedBadass: He can't see. That doesn't mean he's any less lethal than his teammates.
393	* HyperAwareness: Acwel has almost absolute power over air, and can sense any disturbances made in it. He uses this to get around quite easily, and it's also the reason he's such a good Scout - he can see anything and everything, even if it's hidden from the naked eye. He detected (and nearly disrupted the illusion of) Muna and gang while he was [[spoiler:in the middle of killing an elf for Luna.]]
394	* TheInfiltration: Regularly visits the diner as a patron. (And to get updates from Gisa.)
395	%%* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:A blind elf killing other elves.]]
396	%%* LackOf Empathy: One of the least empathetic of the Unit.
397	* MilkyWhiteEyes: Signifies his blindness.
398	%%* NotSo Stoic: Leah is good at getting to him, and she knows it.
399	* ObfuscatingStupidity: In public, he regularly crashes into things to keep up his blind facade. In private, he can navigate a room perfectly fine.
400	%%* PeekA Bangs
401	* SerialKiller: Yup, confirming it here. Acwel was the only one running around killing elves, with Thor's equipment and Tyme's theories, making him the Elfslayer.
402	* TheStoic: A man of few words who rarely shows emotion.
403	%%* TheStraightAndArrowPath: His preferred combat spell is Sherwood.
404	%%* SuperSenses
405	%%* UnnecessaryRoughness: Not afraid to use force to get what he wants.
406	%%* WouldHurtAChild
407
408	!!Michael Donovan
409	[[quoteright:128:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/michael.png]]
410
411	The Buff of Unit Fifty Three. Disguised as a mundane police officer.
412	----
413	* AffablyEvil: It's rare to see him without a smile on his face, even when things are turning south.
414	* TheBadGuysAreCops: Well, more like the bad guys are ''disguised'' as cops.
415	* BlowYouAway: A windwielder.
416	* TheInfiltration: Secured a job on the Justus police force.
417	%%* LackOfEmpathy
418	* NoSympathy: In fact, he relishes in his enemies' pain.
419	* PoliceAreUseless: Posing as a police officer, and a very bad one at that.
420	* {{Sadist}}: Delights in hurting others, which is probably why he fits in with all his teammates so well.
421	* TeamChef: Since he's the first home, he's the one that cooks most frequently. It's a good thing he's good at it.
422	%%* UnnecessaryRoughness: What's the point in eating your food if you don't play with it first?
423	%%* WouldHurtAChild
424
425	!!Thor Underforge
426	[[quoteright:143:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thor.png]]
427
428	The Tank of Unit Fifty Three. Working for the Council to map the Catacombs, though he's been done a long time.
429	----
430	* AffablyEvil: Quite a friendly fellow. Unless he told you, you'd never know if he was a member of a terrorist group or not.
431	* TheFettered: In comparison to the rest of his team. Thor isn't interested in unnecessary violence if it's not constructively getting them anywhere.
432	%%* FriendlyEnemy: Possibly the friendliest of the Unit.
433	* TheInfiltration: Probably the ''most'' successful, scoring a job from the Council to map the Catacombs. He got into Merlin before Leah did.
434	%%* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Rhea, surprisingly enough.
435	* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Knows when to call it quits and give it up. It's the reason he knocked out Gisa himself and negotiated a surrender.
436	%%* LackOfEmpathy
437	%%* LongHairedPrettyBoy
438	%%* WouldHurtAChild
439	* YoungerThanTheyLook: He looks to be in his thirties or forties, but he's actually 26.
440
441	!!Leah Devereaux
442	[[quoteright:119:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leah.png]]
443
444	The Infiltrator of Unit Fifty Three.
445	----
446	* BadassAdorable: She wears a flowy pink dress, wears a flower in her hair, and could kick your ass into next week.
447	* BloodbathVillainOrigin: The Pact found her in her own home, covered in blood that wasn't hers, laughing.
448	%%* DramaticGunCock: Fond of doing these.
449	%%* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Cute and terrifying.
450	%%* TheFightingNarcissist: Go ahead. Tell her she's ugly. See what happens.
451	%%* FriendlyEnemy
452	* GrinOfAudacity: Sports one of these whenever she knows the odds are extremely in her favor - like when she [[spoiler:forcefully sigiled Merchant, for example.]]
453	* HyperspaceArsenal: Invoked with her summoning technique. Leah has a huge arsenal tucked away back at the Apartment, and she uses her summoning magic to summon any weapon she pleases to her hand.
454	%%* IdiotHair
455	* TheInfiltration: Disguised as a student at the Academy.
456	%%* LackOfEmpathy: One of the least empathetic of the whole Unit.
457	%%* LittleMissBadass
458	%%* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Easily the most deadly fighter in Unit Fifty Three.
459	%%* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Tends to think this in just about any situation.
460	%%* NoSympathy: Another thing that makes her terrifying.
461	%%* PinkMeansFeminine: Wears a pink dress.
462	* PlayingWithFire: A flamewielder.
463	%%* {{Sadist}}: Even moreso than Michael.
464	* SelfMadeOrphan: She slaughtered her entire family after simply snapping one day.
465	* StrategySchmategy Usually jumps into the fray without thinking.
466	%%* SummonToHand: Plays this very straight with her summoning weapons.
467	%%* UnnecessaryRoughness: She is perhaps the one out of the six that revels in this most.
468	* WouldHurtAChild: Accepted Gisa's order to kill Bambi without blinking an eye, and this wasn't the first time she tried to kill her either.[[/folder]]
469
470	!Brander Faction
471
472	Technically a faction created by two other factions, the Brander faction is comprised of less than a dozen individuals responsible for Branding all members of the combat faction so those in combat units can use taint magic without fear of tainting themselves. Branders are the most guarded individuals in the Pact as they hold the secret of the Pact's power - a Brander that tries to escape the Pact knows only death.
473
474	[[folder:Serafina]]
475	!!Serafina
476	[[quoteright:204:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/serafina.png]]
477
478	A Blood Pact Brander caught lurking around Justus. Apparently a defected member, she appeared claiming she was looking for someone. Her motivations and real plans are currently unknown.
479	----
480	* TheAtoner: Deeply regrets Branding Unit Seventeen, and seeks a way to earn their forgiveness. So far she's coming up short.
481	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Serafina means no ill will to anyone, and she has very long, golden hair.
482	* MagicalEye: Serafina's Brand takes the shape of a B on her left eye.
483	* NotHelpingYourCase: When she was caught, Serafina insisted she was the victim, but mentioning she was looking for someone and then Mercury apparently recognizing her and claiming she was the one that put them in a chunk of ice was really not making her look any better.
484	[[/folder]]
485
486	[[folder:Nell]]
487	!!Nell
488
489	A former Blood Pact Brander that was determined unfit for the position and instead used to harvest fade. [[spoiler:She's actually Tara, Shanta's best friend who disappeared several years ago after betraying Shanta to elf traffickers.]]
490	----
491	* AnArmAndALeg: Missing an entire arm from being forcefully faded.
