20	The characters of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' as portrayed in Fanfic/TrollCops.
21
22	[[foldercontrol]]
23
24	[[folder:Cops]]
25	!! Sollux Captor
26	* EyeBeams: His weapon, forgoing a traditional police sidearm.
27	* FangThpeak: Sollux's dialogue is written as [[FunetikAksent Funetik Fang Thpeak]] about as often as it is with his typing quirk.
28	* GlowingEyes: It saves the APD on its electric bills.
29	* GoodCopBadCop: Plays both roles due to his bipolar disorder.
30	* InterdisciplinarySleuth: His hacking skills have come in handy to bag quite a few criminals.
31	%%%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
32	* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Sollux has three older brothers, two older sisters, and two younger sisters. He's the last to settle down and start a family of his own.
33	* MommasBoy: Sollux is the only troll shown to be on good terms with his Mama. The others are either estranged or deceased.
34	* OfficerOHara: In the Wigmund canon, the Captor family is reimagined as the troll version of the stereotypical Irish-American cop family.
35	* PursuingParentalPerils: Sollux's father was a cop as well.
36	* TechnicolorEyes: A side effect of exposure to the Green Sun.
37
38	!! Terezi Pyrope
39	* TheCommissionerGordon: Although AR is technically the Commissioner, Terezi fits this trope better as she's the APD's most reliable contact with Crowbro.
40	* CowboyCop: Terezi is eccentric, tactless, and prone to taking justice into her own hands. That said, she's still universally regarded as the best investigator the APD has.
41	* DatingCatwoman: Yes, Dave is defending the city, but he's still technically a criminal vigilante.
42	* DisabilitySuperpower: She developed the ability to smell and taste color after she was blinded. It's implied that these powers come from exposure to the Green Sun, much like Sollux's psionics.
43	* EyeScream: She was looking at the Green Sun when it exploded.
44	* HandicappedBadass: Thanks to her DisabilitySuperpower, she isn't hampered by her blindness and can go toe-to-toe with some of the worst criminals the city has to offer.
45	* TheHyena: Giggles constantly, which gets on the nerves of people who aren't used to her.
46	* LogicalWeakness: Her reliance on her sense of smell as her principal sense leaves her in a tough position when confronted with things that have a naturally overpowering smell, like cleaning chemicals or the sewers.
47	* MomentKiller: Much to her own chagrin, as she's a ShipperOnDeck for Sollux and Feferi, but her [[TheHyena almost reflexive constant giggling]] derails numerous potentially romantic moments between them.
48	* TheNoseKnows: In addition to her [[DisabilitySuperpower ability to smell color]], Terezi's sense of smell is just plain better than other people's.
49	* ShipperOnDeck: For Sollux and Feferi. She spent the whole time from "Captor and Culler" all the way to "Motherly Advice" trying to get them to make it official, a period that in-universe lasted for two whole years.
50
51	!! Equius Zahhak
52	* BigBrotherInstinct: Very protective of his younger brother Horuss.
53	* DecompositeCharacter: Canon Equius's trait of being a [[GadgeteerGenius genius roboticist]] is here given to [[OriginalCharacter his younger brother Horuss Jr.]]
54	* EveryManHasHisPrice: Bribed his way into the job.
55	* FantasticRacism: His discrimination against lower bloods and non-trolls has led to lawsuits.
56	* GeniusBruiser: Immediately after KO'ing a criminal with his STRENGTH, he is able to conduct a thorough examination of the criminal's gun on the spot.
57	* ILetGwenStacyDie: His brother's death is a big part of what motivates him.
58	* NobleBigotWithABadge: Still a classist asshole clinging to the long-defunct Hemospectrum, but generally considered incorruptible and one of only five officers that [[ProperlyParanoid the Oracle]] implicitly trusts, which says a lot.
59	* RebelPrince: While not as extreme an example as the others on this page, Equius's highblooded family weren't really on board with the whole "becoming a policeman" thing. They eventually change their tune after [[spoiler:his brother Horuss is murdered.]]
60	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to his brother Horuss's Sensitive Guy.
61	%%%* SuperStrength
62
63	!! Aradia Megido
64	* CarFu: The rarer non-driving variant; see below.
65	* [[spoiler:DivergentCharacterEvolution: After Aradiabot's creation, Tavros rescues the real Aradia and nurses her back to health, preening her to become TheBaroness and TheDragon.]]
66	* EmotionlessGirl: Usually. Being a robot doesn't really lend itself to expressing emotions.
67	* MindOverMatter: She throws cars into offices!
68	* OnlyMostlyDead: After her soul is copied into a robot, Aradia's family opts to pull the plug on her comatose body. [[spoiler:Unbeknownst to everyone, her body was recovered and nursed back to health by Tavros, until she finally awakens in "Arisen".]]
69	* RobotGirl: When an unfortunate encounter with the Mindfang Pirates puts Aradia in a coma she's not expected to wake up from, her soul is copied into a robotic shell and put back into service. Sollux refuses to work with her, though, insisting the robot isn't truly Aradia, so she's instead partnered with Equius.
70	* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: She and Sollux were ChildhoodFriendSweethearts, and stayed together through the Academy and their entry onto the force. Then she died.
71	%%%%* UnholyMatrimony [[spoiler: Live!Aradia and Tavros.]]
72
73	!! Vriska Serket
74	%%%* TheAtoner
75	%%* BreakTheHaughty
76	%%* BrokenBird
77	* DirtyCop: Not only is Vriska using her position as dispatch officer to sell information to Mr. Pupa and other criminals, but she's also secretly the leader of the Mindfang Pirates, one of the city's six major criminal organizations.
78	* DonutMessWithACop: The dispatch desk almost always has a box of donuts on it somewhere. It's actually made her something of a...
79	* FreudianExcuse: Was abused as a child and grew up mistrustful of everyone.
80	%%%* HeelFaceTurn
81	%%%* MamaBear
82	* MissionControl: As the dispatch officer.
83	* MindControl: [[spoiler:Pupa slips a wedding ring on her finger, and the next thing she knows, she has no free will.]]
84	* APirate400YearsTooLate: Her alter ego, Marquise Spinneret of the Mindfang Pirates.
85	** The Mindfangs in general have this in common.
86	* TokenEvilTeammate: For the APD when she's working with Mr. Pupa.
87	%%%* WalkingSpoiler
88	* WeightWoe: Her love of donuts and sedentary dispatch desk job have resulted in her packing on a few extra pounds. She's very sensitive about this.
89
90	!! AR
91	* BadassBureaucrat: His position as the Commissioner means he's typically behind a desk, but that's no reason to underestimate him.
92	* TheCommissionerGordon: While he ironically hasn't been this since his promotion to Commissioner, he was the Commissioner Gordon for the Watchful Vigilante before WV was elected Mayor.
93	* DaChief: In many canons, including Wigmund's and the Radio Play's.
94	* AFatherToHisMen: A bit more literally than usual; in the radio canon, he really is [[spoiler:Terezi's adoptive father]].
95	%%%* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
96
97
98	[[/folder]]
99
100	[[folder:Criminals]]
101	!! Mr. Pupa
102	* TheChessmaster: He literally has a chessboard with pieces representing the major players in the city, and always seems to be in control of the situation even when unforeseeable circumstances force him to engage in a little XanatosSpeedChess.
103	* FictionFiveHundred: Nitram Enterprises, a major firm dealing mostly in real estate.
104	%%* ManipulativeBastard
105	* ObfuscatingDisability: The wheelchair lulls his foes into a false sense of security. Then he makes a run for it on his robotic legs.
106	%%%* ThePlan:
107	* ShameIfSomethingHappened: He has used this in ''[[http://www.mspaforums.com/showthread.php?34044-TROLL!COPS-The-AU&p=4480762&viewfull=1#post4480762 Silken Net]]'' and '[[http://www.mspaforums.com/showthread.php?34044-TROLL!COPS-The-AU&p=5257107&viewfull=1#post5257107 Blind Girl Bluff]]''.
108	* SpeaksFluentAnimal: It's actually telepathy, but it still counts.
109	* UsedToBeASweetKid: He's Tavros aged up a few years.
110	* WouldHurtAChild: Is willing to use [[spoiler:his own daughter]] as a hostage against betrayal by [[spoiler:Vriska]].
111	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: One of the biggest reasons it's dangerous to get involved with him in the first place. He's attempted this on [[spoiler:Vriska]] in "Disentangled", [[spoiler:SEER]] in "Excision", and [[spoiler:the Karkat Gang]] in "Would You Kindly?", just to name a few.
112
113	!! Karkat Vantas
114	* BigBrotherInstinct: He will do anything to protect his gang. Anything.
115	* DealWithTheDevil: Made the mistake of making one of these with [[TheChessmaster Mr. Pupa.]]
116	%%%* HairTriggerTemper
117	* ObliviousToLove: Nepeta adores Karkat. Even ''[[TheStoner Gamzee]]'' figures it out before he does.
118	* RaisedByDudes: In the rare canons where there is an adult figure in his upbringing, it's typically Spades Slick and the Midnight Crew.
119	* StreetUrchin: Ran away from the orphanage after the Disaster, figuring he'd have a better chance out on the streets than in the foster care system.
120
121	!! Nepeta Leijon
122	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Particularly if she gets her paws on any sort of alcohol.
123	%%%* CatGirl
124	* TheNavigator: Has a fantastic sense of direction, and can tell you where you are and which direction you're going from just about anywhere in the city. This is especially useful when traveling through the sewers to avoid notice.
125	* ShapeShifting: She can turn into a getaway [[{{Pun}} "Car Cat"]].
126	* SheIsAllGrownUp: [[ObliviousToLove Karkat]] is the last one to notice.
127	* StreetUrchin: Orphaned at an extremely young age, she's been living on the streets with Karkat for most of her life.
128
129	!! Gamzee Makara
130	* AwesomenessByAnalysis: [[https://web.archive.org/web/20130213165936/http://www.mspaforums.com/showthread.php?34044-TROLL%21COPS-The-AU&p=4504155&viewfull=1#post4504155 When he sobers up]], he defeats five Felt members by himself.
131	* HammerspaceHair: Stashes Faygo up there, at the very least.
132	* ObfuscatingStupidity: Even when stoned off his gourd, he's far more aware of what's going on than anyone realizes.
133	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: If anything happens that leaves Gamzee legitimately shaken despite his perpetual brain haze, Karkat knows shit's just gotten real.
134	* PowerDegeneration: Gamzee when sober is a [[AwesomenessByAnalysis quick-thinking]], [[SuperReflexes quick-moving]], [[HyperAwareness hyper-perceptive]] badass who can go toe-to-toe with five members of the Felt at once and win. However, enduring the sheer amount of sensory input for more than a few minutes is physically crippling and he needs to tamp it down with drugs that've been described as "a sledgehammer to the skull" to avoid suffering a complete mental burnout.
135	* RaisedByGrandparents: His parents were around when he was little, but they were [[AbusiveParents drunk]] most of the time, leaving his upbringing largely to his grandfather, "The Old Goat".
136	* RebelPrince: His high blood caste stands out among his lowblooded gangmates.
137	* TheStoner: Turns out the sopor slime [[spoiler:keeps him from suffering a complete mental burnout.]]
138	* StreetUrchin: Though he wasn't always this way.
139
140	!! Don Strider
141	* CloneAngst: Has led to him being far more open with his emotions; see below.
142	* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Don Strider quickly begins developing a different personality from Dave. Don is much more open with his emotions, thinking that he can die at any time due to being a paradox clone.
143	* TheDon: [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep Takes the title as his name]] to distinguish himself from Alpha Dave.
144	* HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: His name is Don, and he's the Don of the Strider Mafia.
145	* MesACrowd: The Strider Mafia is made up of Daves.
146	* SignificantHaircut: Or rather, significant lack of one. In "Take It All In Stride", he lets his hair and beard grow for two years before zapping back to the present. It further signifies his DivergentCharacterEvolution, showing how truly different from Alpha Dave he is now.
147
148	[[/folder]]
149
150	[[folder:Vigilantes]]
151	!! Egbertman (alias John Egbert)
152	* {{Badbutt}}: Although the Radio Play as a whole has undergone {{Bowdlerization}} to fit with FCA guidelines, Egbertman is the most noticeable instance of this trope, due to the personal convictions of his VA.
153	* BerserkButton: [[FriendToAllChildren Threatening children.]] When John finds out Mr. Pupa is keeping [[spoiler:Vriska's daughter]] as a hostage, Kanaya notes that it's the angriest she's ever seen him.
154	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Just like in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', John is one of the nicest characters you'll ever meet, but don't you DARE pick on [[spoiler:Vriska!]] You have been warned.
155	* BodyguardCrush: He's clearly smitten with [[spoiler:her]], and vice versa, and after they [[spoiler:rescue Portia]] they officially start dating.
156	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: It's not uncommon for {{Mook}}s to underestimate the sudden appearance of "some derpy kid in a blue hood."
157	* DitzyGenius: On the one hand, he's a brilliant ectobiologist. On the other hand, it's ''John.''
158	%%%* TheFool
159	* GoodFeelsGood: One of his biggest motivators
160	* TheHero: In the [[GreyAndGreyMorality Grey and Gray]] CrapsackWorld of Alternia City, Egbertman is the most unambiguously heroic paragon the people have to look up to.
161	* JumpedAtTheCall: Was thrilled for the chance to help people by becoming a superhero.
162	* ThePollyanna: Always looks on the bright side of life.
163	* StupidScientist: John's day job is ectobiologist, and while his derpiness doesn't generally affect his results, he's as much TheFool as ever.
164	* SuperStrength: A power granted by one of his Artifacts. DependingOnTheWriter, it's either from his ring or his hammer.
165	* ThouShaltNotKill: Being a far more idealistic hero than the Crowfamily, he holds himself to this standard.
166	%%%%* WideEyedIdealist:
167
168	!! Crowbro (alias Dave Strider)
169	* AntiHero: Unlike Egbertman, Crowbro has no qualms killing criminals.
170	* BerserkButton: He does ''not'' like it when Don starts [[DivergentCharacterEvolution becoming his own person.]]
171	%%%* {{Expy}}: Of Franchise/{{Batman}}.
172	* LegacyCharacter: Dave took up the ways of the crow after Bro was murdered.
173	* MesACrowd: See above. Crowbro is the ''original'' Dave Strider.
174
175	!! Seppucrow (alias Bro Strider)
176	* DeathByOriginStory: A young Dave watched the Midnight Crew murder Bro in cold blood, leading him to take up the mantle of Crowbro.
177	* EmbarrassingFirstName: [[spoiler:Ambrose]] "Bro" Strider.
178	* KatanasAreJustBetter: His sword, which [[{{Irony}} ironically]] ended up being used to kill him.
179	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Well, with a name like [[spoiler:[[EmbarrassingFirstName Ambrose]]]] what did you expect?
180
181	!! The Cuttlefish Culler (alias Feferi Peixes)
182	* ArtEvolution: Her original costume had ''pipe cleaners'' as tentacles.
183	* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/DoctorOctopus.
184	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: She's a supervillain just as often as she's a superhero. As a general rule, on any given day she'll be whichever will get her close to Sollux.
185	* MeaningfulName[=/=]MythologyGag: [=cuttlefishCuller=] is Feferi's trolltag in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''.
186	* OrphanageOfLove: One of her alter egos runs one of these.
187	* PaperThinDisguise: Sollux sees through it immediately. No one else does.
188	** Her multitasking civilian life is full of this as well. Feferi can't possibly be the troll at the orphanage because that troll wears green goggles while Feferi wears pink!
189	--> '''Sollux:''' Actually, [[LampshadeHanging all you change iith your goggleth.]] Only an iidiiot wouldn't notithe. [[WeirdnessCensor But then, the thiity iith overrun wiith iidiiotth.]]
190	* PunchClockVillain: She only breaks the law to attract the attention of a certain mustard-blooded policetroll...
191
192	!! The Magpie (alias Maggie Strider)
193	%%%%* HairTriggerTemper
194	* KidFromTheFuture: She used the Timetables to zap back to the present to avert a disaster in the future. The disaster averted, she's now stuck here because her actions have caused the timeline she originated in to no longer exist.
195	* KnightTemplar: At least until "S.E.E.ing Double", when Rose [[KirkSummation takes her down a peg or two]] and explains the true nature of the city's GreyAndGrayMorality.
196	* LaserBlade: Her weapon, a technology that hasn't been invented yet that she brought with her from the future.
197	* LegacyCharacter: In the footsteps of Dave and Bro.
198	* MagpiesAsPortents: A thematic choice she deliberately invokes.
199	%%%%* OriginalCharacter
200	* MysteriousParent: She is the "daughter of Strider," but remains tight-lipped about ''which'' Strider is her father, Dave or Don.
201	** She also refuses to take her hood off, which would reveal by absence or presence of horns if she was Jade's (and therefore Don's), or Terezi's (and therefore Dave's), daughter.
202	* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong
203
204	!! Space Lass (alias Jade Harley)
205	* BackFromTheDead [[spoiler:: Don goes to the underworld to retrieve her.]]
206	* BrainyBrunette: Dark hair? Check. Multiple master's degrees in various fields of physics by the age of 19? ''Check.''
207	* DaddysGirl: Hass Harley doted over Jade when he was alive [[spoiler:and continued to look after her in the afterlife, until he was sure she would be safe returning to the world of the living with Don.]]
208	* GadgeteerGenius: Unlike the other heroes of SEER, who derive their powers from [[BlackBox Skaian Artifacts]], Space Lass's powers are tied to PoweredArmor of her own design.
209	* TheMole: Works for the military as a researcher, but secretly sneaks dangerous [[AncientArtifact Skaian artifacts]] to SEER.
210	* RaisedByGrandparents: Her parents died when she was very young, so she was sent to live with her doting Grandpa.
211
212	[[/folder]]
213
214	[[folder:Civilians]]
215	!! Eridan Ampora, Private Eye
216	* BadassLongcoat: Eridan is deliberately trying to invoke this. When Kanaya shortens the hem in "The Case of the Missing Licorice", Eridan wonders aloud how he's supposed to look badass now.
217	* {{Determinator}}: When he stops being a huge drama queen and actually buckles down on a case, he's quite effective.
218	* EnsembleDarkhorse: In many canons, Eridan is the main character. On the Website/DeviantArt Tumblr, almost all of the Q&A questions are addressed to Eridan, and even more are answered by him.
219	* HardboiledDetective: Tries to be this. His degree of success varies DependingOnTheAuthor.
220	* LargeHam: Generally varies inversely with degrees of HardboiledDetective above.
221	* OccultDetective: Many of his cases have a paranormal bent to them, particularly after [[spoiler:he joins SEER.]]
222	* PrivateDetective: Trained by Webcomic/ProblemSleuth, no less.
223	* PrivateEyeMonologue: Stories with him as the focus frequently have him narrating in this manner.
224	* RebelPrince: Ran away from his highblooded family to become a PrivateDetective.
225	* RedPillBluePill: Once Eridan finds out too much about [[spoiler:SEER]], he's given the chance to join them. [[spoiler:He does, partly because the Magpie implies that [[IdTellYouButThenIdHaveToKillYou the other option is his death,]] and partly because the Crowbro Cave has ''hot running water!'']]
226	* StockCostumeTraits: Is typically portrayed in the traditional HardboiledDetective manner, except he's trying to emulate Literature/SherlockHolmes.
227	* UnluckyEverydude: What? You expected ''Eridan'' to get a date? Get real.
228
229	!! Dr. Kanaya Maryam
230	%%%* ActionGirl
231	* BackFromTheDead: As a [[spoiler:[[OurVampiresAreDifferent rainbow drinker.]]]]
232	* BodyguardCrush: Unofficially fills the role of Rose's bodyguard in the SEER hierarchy.
233	%%%* ChainsawGood
234	* CombatMedic: Not only is she the on-call medic for both SEER and the APD, but between [[ChainsawGood the chainsaw]] and [[OurVampiresAreDifferent the vampirism]] she can more than hold her own in a fight.
235	%%%* TheCoroner
236	%%%%* DeadpanSnarker
237	* DiedInYourArmsTonight : With Rose. [[spoiler:She recovered...[[BackFromTheDead sort]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent of.]]]]
238	%%%* LesbianVampire
239	%%%* LipstickLesbian: With Rose.
240	* TheMedic: Runs a private practice with her parents, in addition to being the [[TheCoroner medical examiner]] and doctor-on-call for the police station, AND the CombatMedic for SEER.
241	* TheMole: An interesting example. [[spoiler:She sneaks confiscated Skaian artifacts from the APD's vault and brings them to S.E.E.R. In other words, she's TheMole in the good guys' organization, working for the ''other'' good guys.]]
242	%%%* OfficialCouple: Kanaya and Rose.
243	* OurVampiresAreDifferent: [[spoiler:When she and Rose are playing in the sewers as children, they're ambushed by an ogre and Kanaya is killed. Rose fights off the ogre with the [[BlackMagic Thorns of Oglogoth]], then uses the Thorns to revive Kanaya. Now a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent rainbow drinker]], Kanaya goes into a trance, ascends to ground level, and murders and feeds on Gamzee's entire family, who were passing at the time.]]
244	* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: [[ChainsawGood And]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent how!]]
245
246	!! Rose Lalonde, Oracle of SEER
247	* BlackMagic: [[spoiler:Former user of this with the Thorns of Oglogoth.]]
248	* BlindSeer: She loses her sight in "Excision" when a military-grade flash grenade goes off while she's looking directly at it. She lampshades the trope, noting that she's now like the Seers of old, and that her visions have been hinting that something like this would happen for some time.
249	%%%* LipstickLesbian: With Kanaya
250	* MagicWand: Rose uses one of [[spoiler:three]] sets of wands known to exist.
251	* MissionControl: Is more suited to dispatching the others to retrieve [[AncientArtifact Skaian artifacts]] than getting them herself.
252	* {{Necromancer}}: Inadvertently. It technically applies because she was able to [[spoiler:bring Kanaya BackFromTheDead using the [[BlackMagic Thorns of Oglogoth.]]]]
253	%%%* OfficialCouple: Rose and Kanaya.
254	%%%* PerkyGoth:
255	* WhiteMagic: The Quills of Echidna, which are described as drawing their power from [[TheLifestream the force of life as a concept]], rather than feeding from the energy of individuals.
256
257	!! [[spoiler:Portia Nitram]]
258	* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: [[spoiler:[[AvertedTrope Averted]] at first; Tavros simply uses her as added security against Vriska. Later played straight when John rescues both Portia and Vriska, helping to convince the others at SEER to accept Vriska's HeelFaceTurn.]]
259	* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: Okay, so she's just a baby, but she's likely to grow into one of these.
260	* MeaningfulName: She's named after a genus of intelligent spiders.
261	* NoodleIncident: That one time Maggie babysat for her. When [[spoiler:John and Vriska]] got home, Maggie is tied to the wall by a copious amount of what looks like [[spoiler:spider webbing.]]
262	%%%* OriginalCharacter
263	* ShameIfSomethingHappened: [[spoiler:Tavros]] simply sees her as another safeguard against a possible betrayal by [[spoiler:Vriska]].
264	%%%* TagalongKid
265	* TykeBomb: [[spoiler:It's implied that Pupa was ''trying'' to turn her into one of these. Fortunately John rescues her before he can have too much of an influence.]]
266
267	!! Mama Captor
268	* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: On fullest display in "Motherly Advice". No son wants to hear his mother talking about sex with his girlfriend.
269	%%%* ApronMatron
270	%%%* DotingParent
271	* IWantGrandkids: One of the reasons she gives for setting Sollux up with [[spoiler:Feferi.]]
272	%%%* MamaBear
273	* OpenMindedParent: Sollux is actually embarrassed by this trait.
274	%%* OriginalCharacter
275	* TeamMom: In addition to her own eight children, she considers anyone who is close to her son practically family. Aradia, Feferi, and Terezi are all among those who call her "Mama".
276
277	!! Dr. Horuss Zahhak Jr.
278	* DeathByOriginStory: : His murder is one of Equius's biggest drives as a cop.
279	* GadgeteerGenius: One of the top cyberneticists in the city.
280	* [[spoiler:HeKnowsTooMuch]]: He tried to outfit rich cripple Tavros Nitram with robotic legs. As far as the general public knows, Horuss was unable to finish his task before his untimely demise. [[spoiler:By killing him, Pupa is able to keep secret the fact that Horuss in fact succeeded.]]
281	* OriginalCharacter: WordOfGod has it that Horuss Jr. is not the Horuss from canon; rather, that Horuss is [[DeadGuyJunior Horuss III]], Equius's son from the same future that the Magpie hails from.
282	* PosthumousCharacter: Murdered before the series begins.
283	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Equius's Manly Man.
284
285	!! Hass "The Flame" Harley
286	* AdventurerArchaeologist: Travelled the world as one of these before returning to Alternia City to retire and raise Jade.
287	* DotingParent: Doting Grandparent, rather, but as Jade's Guardian he did dote on her [[spoiler:even in death.]]
288	* FictionFiveHundred: Inherited a fortune, which he used to fund his AdventurerArchaeologist and GadgeteerGenius tendencies. Also inherited ownership of the technology firm Skaianet, which allowed him to sustain above fortune.
289	* GadgeteerGenius: The first person to study the [[BlackBox Skaian]] [[AncientArtifact Artifacts]], then turning around and applying his findings to his own inventions, such as the transportalizer.
290	%%%* PapaWolf
291	* PosthumousCharacter: A vital character in Jade's and Rose's backstories, whose work provided the whole basis on which SEER was founded, but he died two years before SEER's founding. He does appear in flashbacks, though, [[spoiler:and during Don's mission to the afterlife in "Here After".]]
292	* RetiredBadass: Formerly a globetrotting AdventurerArchaeologist, he retired to Harley Tower twelve years before the Green Sun Disaster to focus on academic work and raising Jade.
293
294	!! Andrew Hussie
295	* AuthorAvatar: Originally, but now the fans have control.
296	%%%* ChaoticStupid
297	* CloudCuckoolander: Mentally, he's living in another world. [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Literally.]]
298	%%%* CrazyHomelessPeople
299	%%%* TheDrifter
300	* FourthWallShutInStory: "The Man in the Green Robe" reveals that he appeared in the ''Troll Cops'' universe at ground zero of the Green Sun explosion, with the implication that it really is our world's Creator/AndrewHussie warped into the ''Troll Cops'' universe. However, unlike most stories of this type, he's not the protagonist, rather just a recurring [[CrazyHomelessPeople crazy homeless person]] with a healthy dose of WrongGenreSavvy.
301	* GeniusDitz: For all his quirks, he is able to bellow out an accurate recap of the entire city's backstory.
302	* IncomingHam: "I AM THE AVATAH OF THE CREATORE!"
303	%%%* LargeHam
304	* SpannerInTheWorks: He's the biggest blank spot in Doc Scratch's [[TheOmniscient omniscience]].
305	* WrongGenreSavvy: Oh so much. He seems to think that everything should play out as it does in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', and rejects the existence of the AlternateUniverse he finds himself in.
306
307	!! Mayor WV
308	%%%* CloudCuckoolander
309	%%%* TheDitz
310	* GeniusDitz: Is a pretty decent administrator for the city... [[DependingOnTheAuthor sometimes.]]
311	* RetiredBadass: In one canon, he was formerly the Watchful Vigilante, a proud defender of the city with his trusty [[NonhumanSidekick firefly sidekick Serenity]] by his side, spreading the light of justice in the dark underbelly of the city. He's supposedly the reason that the Felt is no longer the dominant mob in the city anymore.
312	* UltimateAuthorityMayor: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] to an extent as the main characters are high-ranking police officers, and after the Commissioner, the Mayor is just one step up.
313
314	!! Sam, the Voice of Alternia City
315	* CatchPhrase: "Tonight on ''Alternia City Tonight''."
316	** "[[WebVideo/SteamTrain Goddammit]], [[ButtMonkey Ross.]]"
