16
17	!Paladins
18
19	The group of five chosen by Butler to defend Domina from the screamers. Originally, Adam wasn't supposed to be included, until Butler realized he was a "natural-born killer."
20
21	[[folder:Adam Andrew Anders]]
22
23	The new guy in the city, there for school. Quickly becomes Derek's roommate, although he was supposed to room with his internet friend Dale.
24
25	----
26
27	!!Provides examples of:
28
29	* AlliterativeName: And for bonus points, they all mean the same thing.
30	* BadassNormal: [[EnforcedTrope Enforced]]. He is ''[[GratuitousLatin lutum informis]]'', so the toy maker is next to useless on him.
31	* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: With the help of MC, Adam manages to [[spoiler: trap the Composer, ending the Rampage.]]
32	* TheLancer: Maybe. It's either him or Akane.
33	* MeaningfulName: All three of his names mean approximately "man."
34	* TheSociopath: Many characters claim he is this, considering his indifference and adaptability to Domina's hyperviolent culture.
35	* TheTeamNormal: The only one without powers.
36	* TheWatson: Early on, his primary function is to ask Derek questions about the city.
37
38	[[/folder]]
39
40	[[folder:Derek Huntsman]]
41
42	Adam's roommate, and TheHero. He suspects that Adam's friend is dead, but doesn't have the heart to tell him.
43
44	----
45
46	!!Provides examples of:
47
48	* BarrierWarrior: He can summon glowing blue shields capable of dealing with a great deal of force.
49	* BattleCouple: Something like that with Akane.
50	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: He rescues people on a daily basis.
51	* CluelessChickMagnet: Lily claims that ''every'' girl he meets is in love with him. [[spoiler:The reason he is clueless to their affections is the hypnotism the Composer has laid on him.]]
52	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He's mentioned to be blond pretty often, which seems odd considering his Italian anscestry. Combined with his InnocentBlueEyes, he's pretty clearly meant to invoke the older heroic Adonis model.
53	* InnocentBlueEyes: See HairOfGoldHeartOfGold.
54	* LanternJawOfJustice: Occasional mention is made of his "strong chin."
55	* ObliviousToLove: Derek doesn't understand when women are trying to flirt with him, saying they're just joking around or toying with him. He claims to get a headache from it. [[spoiler:It turns out the headaches are from hypnotism given to him by the Composer.]]
56	* TwinThreesomeFantasy: In Book 2 Derek mentions 'the Narutaki twins' tried to seduce him.
57
58	[[/folder]]
59
60	[[folder:Laura Medina]]
61
62	A girl who grew up in Domina City and is going to Akamatsu University for school. ChildhoodFriends with Elizabeth and Derek.
63
64	----
65
66	!!Provides examples of:
67
68	* CharacterTics: She touches her necklace when she's nervous.
69	* ChildhoodFriends: With Derek and Elizabeth, until they were eleven.
70	* LivingLieDetector: Her power. It's specifically noted that [[FromACertainPointOfView half truths]] slip right by.
71	* MementoMacGuffin: She wears her mother's engagement ring on a necklace.
72	* NoodleIncident: The reason she left South Central when she was eleven. All we know is that she blames Derek.
73	* TheSmartGuy: ''Very'' much so. Not only does she always seem to have the answer to any question, but she's also TheStrategist of the group.
74	* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's cold to pretty much everyone, but does care.
75	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Arguably the tomboy to Elizabeth's girly girl.
76	* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Lie detection wouldn't be that good anyway, but it's not even reliable.
77
78	[[/folder]]
79
80	[[folder:Akane Akiyama]]
81
82	Another friend of Derek's, who he's known for years. For some reason yet to be explained, she follows Derek's orders explicitly.
83
84	----
85
86	!!Provides examples of:
87
88	* ActionGirl: She carries around a real katana, which she apparently uses in kendo.
89	* BattleCouple: Something like that with Derek.
90	* ChildhoodFriends: Derek's, after Laura left.
91	* TheLancer: ''Probably''. It's hard to tell whether it's her or Adam.
92	* StuffBlowingUp: She apparently really likes watching explosions.
93	* SuperSpeed: Apparently physics gets "bendy" when she uses this power, letting her do things like [[InASingleBound perform a super jump]] or survive a multiple-story fall with no problems.
94	* TheQuietOne: She's very shy around new people.
95
96	[[/folder]]
97
98	[[folder:Ling Yu]]
99
100	A native of Domina, but new to Derek's social circle. Rooming with Akane, and obsessed with anime.
101
102	----
103
104	!!Provides examples of:
105
106	* ActionGirl: She's actually an athlete.
107	* AnimeChineseGirl: Considering how much anime she watches, this may be [[InvokedTrope invoked]].
108	* TheBigGuy: Although she's short, she's on the soccer team, and she has an offensive power. She also notes more than once that she's not very smart.
109	* BodyHorror: After she goes to confront a minion of the Composer alone, [[spoiler:she is then hit with a calciophage, literally melting her skeleton. She is placed in a toy maker which is constantly fighting to heal the damage]].
110	* DishingOutDirt: Her power is petrakinesis, the ability to manipulate earth and stone. Apparently, this includes concrete.
111	* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:After she killed a Blackguard, she suffers a pang of conscience and starts doubting herself heavily.]]
112	* OccidentalOtaku: Namechecked. Well, [[{{Otaku}} not the "occidental" part]].
113	* PintsizedPowerhouse: Five feet tall and kicking ass.
114	* TeenPregnancy: [[spoiler:She's eighteen now, and the matron of her orphanage mentions her children being born in a way that implies it was a while ago]].
115	** [[spoiler:She was in fact 10 when this happened. The father was mentioned as having been left in pieces all over the city.]]
116
117	[[/folder]]
118
119	!Necessarius
120
121	The biggest gang in the city, which uses a simple red and black band as its emblem. The name translates to "Necessary," which seems to sum them up pretty well.
122
123	[[folder:MC]]
124
125	The switchboard operator for the entire city.
126
127	----
128
129	!!Provides examples of:
130
131	* BigBrotherIsWatching: Of the benevolent variant.
132	* DoNotCallMePaul: Her real name is Mary Christina, but she hates that name.
133	* FullNameBasis: Butler is the only one who calls her by her full name.
134	* MissionControl: For the Paladins on missions.
135	* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: She (or more commonly, the programs she wrote with her voice) works like this for the entire city.
136
137	[[/folder]]
138
139	[[folder:Artemis Butler]]
140
141	A powerful gang lord who gained power by killing everyone who got in his way, but also by honoring deals and promises.
142
143	----
144
145	!!Provides examples of:
146
147	* AlbinosAreFreaks: In his flashback chapters, Artemis was sometimes referred to as "freakish" due to his albinism. His disorder became very low on the list of weird things in the city due to a BioAugmentation device installed and running for fifteen years.
148	* BigGood: Maybe.
149	* HealingFactor: [[spoiler:After the MassEmpoweringEvent, he is healed of his lifelong illness. The power to do so is theorized to be this]].
150	* LargeAndInCharge: It's mentioned several times that he is ''huge''.
151	* NecessarilyEvil: His gang is named Necessarius, Latin for "Necessary."
152	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite being a ''gang lord''.
153	* WellIntentionedExtremist: Again, he named his gang ''[[NecessarilyEvil Necessarius]]''.
154
155	[[/folder]]
156
157	[[folder:Drakela Sanguinas]]
158
159	The leader of the retinue, the Necessarian team assigned to support the Paladins. A vampire, and an ex-Belian.
160
161	----
162
163	!!Provides examples of:
164
165	* DarkAndTroubledPast: No details other than the fact that she referred to it a "shitstorm."
166	* DoNotCallMePaul: She doesn't particularly like her name, even though she chose it, so she usually goes by Kelly.
167	* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Played with: [[spoiler: Kelly takes over the Belians, reclaiming her identity as 'Fierna' after ripping out her chemical fixer pump (this being the thing keeping the drugs in her system from driving her mad). However, after she has driven everyone but a near-catatonic and grieving Alex from the throne room, she drops the mask and mentions among other things that she hopes to restore the ''sclavi'' to sanity.]]
168	* OddFriendship: Alex is a close friend of hers, and is an angel. Although no attention has been drawn to it, considering what we know about [[FantasticRacism angels and vampires]], it seems strange. [[spoiler: It turns out that they get along so well because they were in fact siblings]].
169	* OurVampiresAreDifferent: A Belian, which is apparently some sort of drug-addicted vampire.
170	* SiblingTeam: With [[spoiler: Alex]].
171	* SpecialPersonNormalName: For a vampire, any variant of Dracula (such as Drakela) is as common as John or Jane. [[spoiler: Turns out that is the point; her 'real' name is Fierna, although even that turns out to be a fake]].
172	* TheUnreveal: [[spoiler: Derek, and therefore the readers, don't hear Alex say her true name.]]
173
174	[[/folder]]
175
176	[[folder:Alex Gabriel]]
177
178	An angel working for Necessarius and Kelly's second in command in the retinue.
179
180	----
181
182	!!Provides examples of:
183
184	* AmbiguousGender: Although Kelly refers to him in male pronouns for convenience, Adam assumes he is a girl. Of course, "he" is [[NoBiologicalSex neither]]. [[spoiler: Alex's true name - Ilarion - is a masculine Bulgarian name (which may also be why Kelly refers to Alex as 'he'), but Alex as the audience and characters know them is sexless]].
185	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Subverted. He goes into detail about one...until Kelly notices that he's ripping off a show. Then he goes through a few more before admitting he was an orphan with a pretty quiet childhood.
186	-->'''Alex:''' Saints ''above'' vampire, can't you just let me have my cool origin story?
187	** This takes on a different tone when you find out in Part Three that [[spoiler: they are in fact siblings]].
188	* NoBiologicalSex: As part of a show of commitment to the cause, "he" became gender-neutral.
189	* OddFriendship: Kelly is a close friend of his, and is a vampire. Although no attention has been drawn to it, considering what we know about [[FantasticRacism angels and vampires]], it seems strange. [[spoiler: It turns out that they get along so well because they were in fact siblings]].
190	* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Light-emitting, nightblind, and NoBiologicalSex.
191	* SiblingTeam: With [[spoiler: Kelly]].
192

196
197	[[folder:Doctor Clarke]]
198
199	The resident MadScientist who works for Necessarius. His daughter is Robyn Clarke.
200
201	----
202
203	!!Provides examples of:
204
205	* LargeHam: He speaks in a very bombastic manner, again on purpose.
206	* MadScientist: Invoked trope, as he used the Toy Maker to make himself appear as a stereotypical mad scientist.
207	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: [[spoiler: He gains this ability after the MassEmpoweringEvent, at least on a cosmetic level]].
208
209	[[/folder]]
210
211	[[folder:Robyn Joan Clarke]]
212
213	The daughter of Doctor Clarke.
214
215	----
216
217	!!Provides examples of:
218
219	* AfraidOfBlood: Multiple characters speculate that this is why she is so averse to fighting.
220	* HeroicBSOD: After [[spoiler:killing a Blackguard by crushing him with her flight powers]], her response is to lie in a non-responsive, catatonic state, refusing to say anything.
221	%%* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter
222	* RefusalOfTheCall: [[spoiler:She was given the power of flight, but wants to avoid revealing her powers as long as possible because she wants to be able to fly on her own.]]
223	* LikeParentLikeChild: When she gets really annoyed, she starts randomly emphasizing words in the same way as her father.
224	* SelectiveGravity: This is how [[spoiler:her flight power works. She can alter her orientation, as well as adding or removing levels of gravity.]]
225	* SinkOrSwimMentor: She acts like this after [[spoiler: becoming Magister of a kyton]], kicking a demon in the chest out a window, then pointing after them and shouting "FLY!".
226
227	[[/folder]]
228
229	[[folder:Jarasax of the Blood-Doused Hunters]]
230
231	A changeling member of the retinue.
232
233	----
234
235	!!Provides examples of:
236
237	* AerithAndBob: Has an absurd name with no explanation, unlike everyone else, who have at least ''some'' reason behind the weird names.
238	* DarkAndTroubledPast: He's a changeling, an escaped slave of the fey, so this is implied. It turns out that he's a bit less upset over it than most other changelings.
239	* TheDriver: Seems to be his main job.
240
241	[[/folder]]
242
243	[[folder:Kat]]
244
245	A mute fel anthro member of the retinue.
246
247	----
248
249	!!Provides examples of:
250
251	* CatGirl: Mostly of the "dangerous" variant.
252	* ColdSniper: She's the retinue's sniper, and although there hasn't been too much emphasis, she certainly ''seems'' cold due to her muteness.
253	* CuteMute: Definitely mute, but jury's still out on "cute."
254	* GamerChick: At one point while the retinue is waiting for the next mission she runs off to buy a video game.
255	* OurVampiresAreDifferent: While she's not actually a vampire, she has the eyes.
256	* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:Turned into a screamer (one of the bats, to be specific), and was captured by Akane for Necessarius. She's effectively dead]].
257	** TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: After the MassEmpoweringEvent/Rampage, she is cured along with all the rest of the screamers.]]
258
259	[[/folder]]
260
261	[[folder:George]]
262
263	A [[OurGiantsAreBigger giant]] member of the retinue.
264
265	----
266
267	!!Provides examples of:
268
269	* TheBigGuy: Well, he's a ''giant''.
270	* MoreDakka: He carries around a minigun, and explicitly describes his job as "Spreading bullets like water."
271	* OurGiantsAreBigger: Technically an [[OurOgresAreHungrier ogre]], which is apparently just a giant with the cannibalism buff.
272
273	[[/folder]]
274
275	!The Composer
276
277	[[folder:The Composer]]
278
279	Apparently the source of the screamers. Very little is known about him, including "his" gender, other than that he likes killing.
280
281	----
282
283	!!Provides examples of:
284
285	* AxeCrazy: He considers it a show of willpower when he doesn't torture someone just because he can.
286	* BigBad: Almost certainly. [[spoiler:There's ''someone'' behind him, but they're slowing him down, not really helping him]].
287	* BigBadFriend: [[spoiler:The Composer is Lizzy ]].
288	* BodySurf: One of the Composer's speculated powers.
289	* TheChessmaster: Though his plans are generally "How can I kill the most people today?"
290	* TheFaceless: Due to only appearing in scenes from his own point of view.
291	* NoNameGiven: For every other scene from a certain character's view for the first time, they start with "My name is ___" and a few facts about themselves. Not the Composer. Even that title was WordOfGod.
292	* PlagueMaster: Maybe. He's behind the zombies, but his method of creation is a little bit...odd, so it may not count.
293	* PragmaticVillainy: He'd cheerfully slaughter everything in reach, but eventually he'd run out of things. So he's doing it another way.
294	* {{Sadist}}: He loves to play with his victims.
295	* SpannerInTheWorks:
296	** In his chapter he notes that the Paladins are messing with his plan [[spoiler:because Lizzy was supposed to be the fifth Paladin, not Adam]].
297	** [[spoiler:This turns out to be a RedHerring--he was actually angry they hadn't found ''Robyn'' yet. Still annoyed that Adam isn't dead yet, though]].
298
299	[[/folder]]
300
301	[[folder:Silk]]
302
303	The older sister of the Composer. Physically identical, but horrifically more powerful; also apparently neutral.
304
305	----
306
307	!!Provides examples of:
308
309	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor:
310	** She offers a boon to Adam for [[spoiler: stopping the Composer]]. He decides to sit on it instead of immediately cashing it in. Any wish she grants is liable to have some kind of trick hidden within.
311	** In the finale, [[spoiler:she offers a boon to Laura in exchange for Derek's body. Laura claims that Adam didn't get a good boon, but Silk insists that he got exactly what he wanted and is satisfied]].
312	* FourthWallObserver: In the finale, she speaks directly to the audience at several points, apologizing for skipping things that she feels are too difficult to understand.
313	* HiveMind: [[spoiler:She claims she was once a "trillion-body" HiveMind, but lost all her bodies except one when she came back in time. She manipulates the Americans into starting a cloning project, then hijacks it for her own use once she confirms that the technology is sufficient for her purposes]].
314	* TheNicknamer: She rarely uses real names for anyone.
315	** Derek is "little hero."
316	** Laura is "Highlander," which she shares with Elizabeth, though it's not clear which one came first.
317	** Akane is "red," which was Akane's father's nickname for her.
318	** Butler is "hunter," likely a reference to Artemis being goddess of the hunt.
319	** Clarke is "my dear doctor."
320	** Adam is "tin man."
321	** Robyn Joan is "Princess."
322	** Lily is "my cute little monster."
323	** MC is "miraculous child."
324	* TimeAbyss: When asked how old she is, the figure she throws out totals up to [[spoiler: two trillion years!]] She then laughs, claiming to be ''far'' older than that. [[spoiler:It's implied that this number includes all her bodies added together, so by a straight timeline she's likely significantly younger]].
325	* WalkingSpoiler: Her existence doesn't become known until Book Three, but her exposition changes much of the focus of the setting.
326
327	[[/folder]]
328
329	!Warlords
330
331	[[folder:Soaring Eagle]]
332
333	The Animal King of the aves, bird kemos. She stole the toy box from Necessarius in order to develop wings, making herself the most wanted woman in the city in the process.
334	----
335	!!Provides examples of:
336
337	* DarkSecret: [[spoiler:She is actually Xinivrae, Malcanthet's sister, kicked out of the succubi for being ''too crazy'' even for Malcanthet]].
338	* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:She worked with the Composer in some unclear capacity, though she didn't like it]].
339	* TheExile: [[spoiler:She flees the city when she hits Ling with the calciophage]].
340	* MaliciousMisnaming: She refers to Ling as "whore," referencing [[spoiler:her past as a succubus]].
341	* MinoredInAssKicking: Ling is shocked when she proves to be an accomplished martial artist. Combined with the speed granted to her by her warlord buffs, she is ''very'' dangerous.
342	-->'''Soaring Eagle:''' Dad insisted we both take self-defense classes. [[spoiler:Malcanthet]] never got past yellow belt, even though she was sleeping with the instructor. But ''I'' actually paid attention.
343	* MissedTheCall: [[spoiler:Since she was outside the city during the Rampage, she didn't get the chance to receive a power]].
344
345	[[/folder]]
346
347	[[folder:Obould]]
348
349	The Power of the orcs, demons with nighteyes. His cousin, Orcus, founded the orcs, and Obould took over when Orcus was assassinated during the Battle of Shendilavri.
350	----
351	!!Provides examples of:
352
353	* HunterOfMonsters: He likes hunting fey monsters, or at least paying other people to hunt them. He catalogs them and publishes the data online. He's one of Derek's biggest employers.
354	* OurOrcsAreDifferent: A subculture of demon. Claws, fangs, and nighteyes.
355
356	[[/folder]]
357
358	[[folder:Zepar]]
359
360	The Noble of the Mals, vampire assassins. He is the warlord in charge of stealth operations within the culture.
361	----
362	!!Provides examples of:
363
364	* BewareMyStingerTail: Most of his toys go to his tail, and he expounds on its utility quite often.
365	* YouAreInCommandNow: He, along with Abigor and Bileth, went from trusted lieutenants to actual leaders when Baal was killed. [[spoiler:Then he became the sole leader when Abigor and Bileth turned on him. He immediately pointed out that he could ''not'' run the culture by himself, and promoted Seena to help]].
366	* TheWonka: He's a bit... silly to be in charge of a culture of assassins. Not an idiot, just a bit out of place.
367
368	[[/folder]]
369
370	[[folder:Malcanthet]]
371
372	The Power of the succubi, and one of the three founders of the demon culture. She enslaved and brainwashed large segments of the city, and was forced to flee five years before the start of the story, at the Battle of Shendilavri.
373	----
374	!!Provides examples of:
375
376	* AdoptivePeerParent: She's actually slightly older than her "mother," Lilith. Neither of them care.
377	* AmbitionIsEvil: According to [[AllThereInTheManual culture documents]], she was originally one of the pillars of the demon culture. Over time, she became obsessed with controlling everything around her.
378	-->'''Culture Document:''' Malcanthet wanted power and comfort, so she built Shendilavri and named her clan the succubi. For years, free love and peace reigned, but as time wore on, the Whore began to desire power more than comfort...
379	* DoNotCallMePaul: Lilith calls her "Canny," which Malcanthet ''hates''.
380	* TheExile: She fled the city when a large alliance of multiple cultures marched on her domain.
381	* IHaveManyNames: "Queen of the Succubi" is her most common title, but she is also often referred to simply as "the Whore." Succubi who still respect her refer to her as "Meretrix" (courtesan), while those who don't call her "Lupa" (she-wolf, whore).
382	* ImmuneToBullets: She can laugh off small-caliber rounds, and is careful to never give any of her slaves any weapons that can hurt her.
383	* IntimateMarks: She has many tattoos in the abstract tribal style, like her mother Lilith. It's noted that hers are designed to emphasize her intimate regions.
384	* NonActionBigBad: She's strong, fast, and completely immune to low-caliber bullets. By warlord standards, she's laughably weak, and that's not even getting into the fact that she [[spoiler:lacks a power]] due to being outside the city at the time. [[spoiler:In the end, she burns to death in a fire while she cries in her mother's arms; Lilith is perfectly fine]].
385	* OhCrap: When she realizes that she's [[spoiler:facing Lilith]], she ''freaks''.
386	* ProperlyParanoid: She kept a small cafe across from her building filled with her slaves for ''years'', all so that if anyone tried to spy on her from there she could easily capture them.
387	* RedHerring: [[spoiler:Laura spends a lot of effort trying to discover if she's the source of the screamers. She's not, though the Composer did appear to be framing her on purpose]].
388	* SleepingTheirWayToTheTop: [[spoiler:Her sister, Soaring Eagle]] mentions that she slept with her martial arts instructor, but still failed to make it past yellow belt.
389	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Despite claiming to hate Lilith, she has modified herself to look quite a lot like her, including tattoos.
390	* SuccubiAndIncubi: The original succubus. She was apparently fond of using rape as part of her torture to break her victims.
391	* ThisIsUnforgivable: The city finally rose to destroy her when she made the mistake of kidnapping [[ParentalSubstitute the Mother Monster]].
392

409	[[/folder]]
410
411	[[folder:Elizabeth Greene]]
412
413	Another native of Domina, and a childhood friend of Derek, Laura, and Akane. Somewhat of a satellite character. She has a power, though exactly what has yet to be revealed.

420	* CunningLinguist: Zusa notes that she speaks both Vietnamese and Yiddish fluently, and no one seems surprised. She's also either shown or mentioned to speak Gaelic, Spanish, Japanese and Icelandic.

422	* TheNicknamer: Refers to Akane as "Ken-chan" (which the author translates as "Little Sword"), and Zusa as "Zuzu." Judging from comments, these are far from the only nicknames she's given out.
