| 34 | !!!Threads: Mansion, City |
| 35 | |
| 36 | An elvish assassin that seems to be unaware of any way of doing anything that doesn't involve massive quantities of magic or violence and finds it immensely amusing to piss people off. |

| 43 | * StalkerWithACrush: To Freidrich, though thanks to ridiculous magical powers she generally succeeds in the stalking. |

| 318 | |
| 319 | An eccentric, sickly ex-noble whose transformation into an immortal PhysicalGod knocked him onto Earth for three very colorful millennia. As a scholar, scientist, and chef, he's spent his life trying to learn as much as he can about the various circumstances about his life, learning much about various and sundry topics and developing his own ideas of how human societies should function. As of ''The Water Bearer'', he works as the head of Northwind Aitheroengineering, Mialor's industry leader in aitheric circuitry and runeology. |
| 320 | |
| 321 | In Castle, he owned the island that the thread took place on and controlled the downscaled version of his base of operations, Castle Boreas, in Archipelago. |
| 322 | ---- |
| 323 | * AllJustADream: What he thinks of Outpost, due in part to some of his memories of the thread being wiped during Castle. |
| 324 | * AllPowerfulBystander: He recognizes that he has a lot of experience with human societies, but he won't try and fix them directly. He instead prefers to help individual people. |
| 325 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: He married a former EvilOverlord but doesn't actually seem to disapprove of Lily's actions, has a conspicuously large number of characteristics commonly associated with villains, and has been legitimately considered by some in-universe to be an EvilOverlord. But nothing he actually does ''seems'' particularly evil- many of his major actions (wanting to save his infant sons at all cost, enacting a slave rebellion) can legitimately be cited as ChronicHeroSyndrome, and he's pretty nice, even if you try to kill him. |
| 326 | * BecomingTheMask: He's found that acting just a little bit [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} eccentric]] around people can be very useful for an immortal, since it would work as a cover story if he ever accidentally lets something slip about himself that could give him away. How much of this was part of his personality to begin with is not clear. |
| 327 | * BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: Double subverted. He did legitimately defeat Amu in Castle, only for Amu to come back a few posts later to [[SphereOfDestruction glass his island into another dimension]]. |
| 328 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: And ''how''; from a mild-mannered chef (Outpost) to a HumanoidAbomination. |
| 329 | * ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: Subverted, as he didn't stop aging until he reached his species' equivalent of human biological age mid-forties. He actually seems to prefer it this way, graying hair, arthritic knees, and all. |
| 330 | * MadScientist: While he's far more subdued in terms of personality and actively takes measures to not look like an unkempt academic, it's worth noting that at no point does he see anything wrong with [[GuineaPigFamily conducting gene splicing experiments on his and Lily's leftover embryos]]. |
| 331 | * MundaneUtility: His telekinetic abilities are strong enough for him to pretty much make or do anything he wants from the subatomic level. They're usually used to multitask on housework, manipulate things that he's too lazy to get up and deal with himself, remotely brush his dog to keep fur off his clothes, or pick things up that he doesn't want to touch with his hands. |
| 332 | * NoodlePeople: His limbs and waist are very, very thin, but his shoulders are weirdly broad, giving him a striking, almost martini glass-esque shape. |
| 333 | * ThePatriarch: The way that he speaks to people can seem very paternal. He's more likely to express concern over a slight than anger, [[BewareTheNiceOnes unless it's someone other than him and/or you convince him you're a threat]]. |
| 334 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: A distinctive trait of his family, the late, powerful Onakali clan that once stood at the head of the Enerissian clan system, which also marks him as the last surviving pure Onakali as the red eyes are usually the first to go when there's intermingling outside the clan. [[SubvertedTrope He's quite nice, though.]] Most of the time... |
| 335 | * RenaissanceMan: He's studied a lot of things over his life. Art, social sciences, engineering, chemistry, physics, philosophy, genetics, and anatomy, including trades such as navigation, smithing, printing, and farming. |
| 336 | * SupremeChef: And obsessed with the quality of his food to the point that he's [[FromMyOwnPersonalGarden grown and selectively bred much of it himself in his personal greenhouse and farm]]. |
| 337 | * TrueNeutral: For the most part, [[AllPowerfulBystander he finds it more interesting/amusing to not pick sides and just watch the humans try and work their way through it]]. [[invoked]] |
| 338 | * VillainousCheekbones: Has a very thin face with prominent cheekbones, and has been perceived, at several points in his life, as part of an evil faction (the Onakalis) or as a budding villain himself. |

| 343 | |
| 344 | Vince's current wife and mother of the Cline triplets, a faean ex-con who took over her home colony after years as the keeper of the colony's HiveMind, which got her exiled to Earth. While she isn't so bloodthirsty anymore, the exile doesn't appear to have done much to her personality as she's still as nasty as ever. |
| 345 | ---- |
| 346 | * CombatHandFan: Her weapon, which she constantly fiddles with and can be used as a conduit for aither. |
| 347 | * EnfantTerrible: A grown-up one. Most of the crimes she's most famous for were committed when she was a young teen. She was defeated and exiled when she was not yet fifteen. |
| 348 | * HumanoidAbomination: Combined with her lack of morals and general faean sensibilities, she uses an inhumanly perfect {{Glamour}} to hide her true form, which is, to quote her husband, "reminiscent of a mantid", which is not the same thing as looking ''like'' a mantid. When displeased, you might hear her mandibles clicking from behind her disguise. |
| 349 | * LadyMacbeth: While she ''has'' made Vince assert himself more than he used to and brought him out of his depression, that assertiveness can quickly turn to outright nastiness. |
| 350 | * MadDoctor: Bioethics is usually one of the last things on her mind, especially in regards to non-fae, who she sort of not-discreetly doesn't quite empathize with or view as being equal to herself. |
| 351 | * NeutralEvil: Type I; key word here being 'amoral'. She doesn't usually think about human rights or bioethics, and, like her husband, saw nothing wrong with doing some genetic engineering on an embryo of one of her daughters. [[invoked]] |
| 352 | * PlayingWithFire: Her preferred use of sorcery revolves around temperature; fire is usually her preference, which is what got her into hot water with her colony's elders. |
| 353 | * RetiredMonster: After she burned up most of her power from consuming the hive, she was exiled to Earth, knowing that the planet's abundance of iron would keep her aither under control. She's still quite nasty, of course, and is fully aware that this has rubbed off on her husband. |
| 354 | * VillainOfAnotherStory: Her defeat and exile from Rietes took place long before she met Vince. |
| 355 | |
| 356 | !!The Rivari |
| 357 | The Rivari are an immortal humanoid species found all over Rietes. Nearly everything about them was seemingly created with servitude in mind, a role that they have played with legendary precision since before recorded history. Their biology, invulnerability, and use of sorcery are unlike anything else the world has seen, but amnesia of the worst sort, a strong psychological need to serve and obey orders, and the inability to utilize lethal force against sapient life prevents them as a whole from having much of a culture or being more than an auxiliary to human societies. |
| 358 | ---- |
| 359 | * AlienBlood: It's blue, a similar shade to [[http://i.imgur.com/Cf2dx7S.png horseshoe crab blood.]] |
| 360 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Their skintone is a very, very light shade of gray with bluish undertones, thanks to their AlienBlood. (They also blush blue, their lips are blue, and mucous membranes such as the inside of the mouth and the wet membranes of the eye are blue as a result.) |
| 361 | * CompleteImmortality: Applies to all individuals over at most three years of age- they possess a HealingFactor so powerful only a handful of cases where Rivari have even appeared to be dead have been recorded. (They do ''[[BlessedWithSuck not]]'', however, FeelNoPain as they heal.) |
| 362 | * FacialMarkings: All Rivari who are currently in or have gone through their oaths have a natural mark that is as dark as fresh henna paste around their right eye, a circle with outstretched rays like a stylized depiction of the sun. Children are born unmarked and gain the initial circle upon swearing their first oath of servitude, which will contain up to fifty rays, each of which represents a single person that they have served as a highly-visible method of advertising their experience. Rivari carrying out oaths past that first fifty will gain more circles ticked with more rays, connected to the previous in a chain that wraps around the side, back, and top of the head. |
| 363 | * MonochromaticEyes: Rivari irises are a shade of cool-toned white that under most lighting conditions is indistinguishable from their scleras. At the same time, they have normal black pupils- which dilate when they receive an order -making their eyes look pretty scary and alien. |
| 364 | * MysticalWhiteHair: ''All'' of their hair is a cool-toned white on top of slight, stereotypically Nordic features, to further highlight their otherworldliness in a setting where the overwhelming majority of humans are at least brown-skinned and possess non-European features. |
| 365 | * TheNeedless: Rivari over the age of three do not actually require oxygen, physical nourishment, or rest (outside of the required twelve hours per three days) to survive. Not having any of these things is not going to prevent them from carrying out any orders. If you had a Rivari sworn to you and never allowed them to eat or sleep outside of their required twelve hours per seventy-two, and ordered them to do some kind of physically or mentally demanding work (that they understand and know how to do) for sixty hours straight with no breaks, they'll do it no problem. But if they wanted to do that work by themselves with no order forcing them, they're going to have trouble without daily food and nightly rest. |
| 366 | * NoBrows: Because their hair and skin are very close to the same shade of white, most Rivari don't look like they have eyebrows. Iris notably averts this with eyebrow pencil, and in doing this makes her face look much stronger. |
| 367 | * OnlyOneName: Rivari have no memories of their familial ties and most oath-holders will give them only a single name, which they will proceed to forget if the oath is ended. If they need a surname for whatever reason, they may (if they're allowed) take their holder's family name, or there may be regional rules about Rivari naming. Retired Rivari generally make up a name. |
| 368 | * ServantRace: All evidence seems to point to them being purpose-built for servitude- there are a number of very specific rules regarding what they can and can't do, and how built into their oaths. [[HappinessInSlavery Young Rivari especially default to boundless enthusiasm about being the best servants possible.]] Rivari who have not retired will grow restless and even mad if they're not given any orders for a few days. They can be ordered or even fully conditioned to love servitude and everything they do for their holder, or, left to their own devices, essentially have many of the same desires as humans. |
| 369 | * TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Younger Rivari tend to look rather androgynous during the first several centuries of their lives. Their facial features tend towards the gender neutral, their builds and heights can be all over the board[[note]]ergo, men aren't necessarily more likely than women to be taller or more muscular[[/note]], women's hips stay relatively narrow until they bear children, and their breasts are small or even mostly flat unless they're pregnant or nursing. |
| 370 | * ThreeLawsCompliant: They seem to have slight variations on the three laws hardwired into their psychologies and aitheric abilities. It's impossible for a Rivari who has not yet retired to harm other sentient beings (some of their aither will involuntarily pass into their would-be victim and heal them back to the way they were before), but the only one they'll be involuntarily compelled to protect will be their oath-holder. The only orders they have to obey must come from their holder, and it's also impossible for a Rivari to take their own life or even die, under any known circumstance. |
| 371 | * TimeAbyss: Every single Rivari that has ever lived in the last several millennia is either still walking Rietes, or can walk it again. Adult Rivari generally look no older (or younger) than a human around their early/mid thirties. |

| 373 | !!Halin "Iris" Dukoriven of Uduinya |
| 374 | !!!Works: The Water Bearer |
| 375 | !!!Threads: Archipelago, Worlds' Fair |
| 376 | |
| 377 | A 'first-gen' Rivari, a cynical, hardened ex-servant who can't help but care about the humans she's meant to serve. Works as the longtime human ambassador of Uduinya. Has a lover/husband in the form of Ylazir. |
| 378 | ---- |
| 379 | * AfraidOfBlood: A variation- red blood doesn't bother her at all. She views it in the same manner that we view non-red blood, a reaction similar to 'I guess that sucks for you'. It's blue blood that squicks her out, as that's her blood color and she often assumes it's hers and that something horrible has happened. |
| 380 | * CoolSword: The famous blade that she used to defeat Uduine, eldest and mightiest of the dragon-queens, is solid iron, a potent silotoxicant to stop Uduine's aither-wielding in its tracks. The iron is so pure it took her years to build enough resistance to even hold it. |
| 381 | * GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Usually averted, since her fighting specialties lie in swordplay and melee combat. Becomes an inversion when she's paired with Laz, Vince, or Aunrei, all of whom are physically larger than she is while being rather adept marksmen and ranged aither-wielders. |
| 382 | * ImportantHaircut: She shaved her longer-than-her-height length hair off after she was released from prison, during which her hair became heavily matted and dirty, then decided to keep it shaved when she found her marks wrapping around the side and back of her head and decided to show them off. This is also coupled with the fact that she took to the road soon after her release and simply didn't want to mess around with keeping hair clean. She's become something of a cultural symbol among Rivari girls- it's not uncommon for Rivari women who have just finished their first run of fifty oaths to shave their heads because of her. |
| 383 | * LadyLooksLikeADude: Her facial features are very androgynous, she's bald, she's practically flat-chested, and if she skips putting on makeup and wears masculine or even gender-neutral clothing, she can be easily mistaken for a man until she [[VocalDissonance speaks]]. But in a subversion of the usual personality attached to this trope, she's completely heterosexual, has some traditionally feminine interests such as fashion and children, and has worked as a midwife or governess for much of her life. |
| 384 | * LadyOfWar: In addition to being a MasterSwordswoman, the world likes to paint her as this, owing to the fact that she managed to defeat an enormous, eons-old queen dragon with nothing more than an iron sword, one of the only known people to do so. She, on the other hand, doesn't think she would have won if the dragon basically wasn't trying to let her win, and the world also tends to forget that she came out of the fight with some injuries that turned out to be unpleasant enough to make her wish she was dead. |
| 385 | * LawfulNeutral: Type III; she's developed her own code of ethics over the centuries. If she catches wind of societies that to her seem stagnant and oppressive, she'll scope them out and attempt to dismantle them indiscriminately. [[invoked]] |
| 386 | * LikeASonToMe: Her relationship with Vince has a good amount in common with a parent-child one, made all the more striking by the fact that he looks at least a decade ''older'' than she does. Of course, she did help his mother birth him and raise him. |
| 387 | * PowerLossMakesYouStrong: Iris scares people with her near-total immunity to ColdIron. The fact that she can even hold her pure-iron sword is scary enough, but if you drive some sort of iron implement into her body, one of the most common ways to stop a Rivari in their tracks, you'd better remember to bind her limbs first or she'll rip it right out and shove it into you instead. But she paid a price for this scary immunity- she can't wield any aither at all, and on top of that sucks at ranged combat. |
| 388 | * TimeAbyss: As a first-generation Rivari, she's several thousand years old. She remembers serving the first kings during a time when writing didn't exist yet, and being a hunter-gatherer. |
| 389 | * TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She actually likes looking pretty and feminine whenever she's not working, as her street clothes show, and will even go so far as to put on makeup on her days off. |
| 390 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Lemons and lemony foods. |
| 391 | * VocalDissonance: Despite her androgynous, even mannish appearance, her normal speaking voice is rather high and feminine. |

| 396 | |
| 397 | One of Vinicio Acquati's many Rivari employees, a timid, reserved man apparently satisfied with his quiet life with his wife as high-end clothiers. He was the Acquati-Cline household's first Rivari employee and inadvertently kicked off the campaign that would lead to his people gaining personhood in Mialor. Has many psychological hangups and post-traumatic stress disorder from his time before meeting Vince, for which medicines for Rivari don't exist. |
| 398 | ---- |
| 399 | |
| 400 | * BerserkButton: Ruining clothes that he (or his wife) spent a lot of time making, even if they no longer belong to his shop. |
| 401 | -->He'd like to see an actual butler with other things to do embroider one of Mrs. Cline's gowns in a semi-timely manner. He spent a whole month on the one she was wearing right now... by God, if anyone messed it up, he'd shoot them. |
| 402 | * CigaretteOfAnxiety: He attempts to self-medicate his PTSD and overall jumpy state with cigarettes. Considering that he's usually freaking out about ''something'' while awake, this escalates quickly to full-on chain smoking. Eventually, he makes some slow progress on this front. |
| 403 | * CoveredInScars: Hinted at in threads before Dream II with him always wearing long sleeved shirts, with sleeves tailored to be slightly longer than they should be on him. Dream II finally shows it all off by spawning him in shirtless, showing off the lash-scars on his torso in all their glory. And the thing with his sleeves? They were hiding ligature scars, from being tied up by his wrists. Of course, he hides all of this because he hates attention. |
| 404 | * CowardlyLion: If you raise your voice or verbally attack him, especially if you're just a normal human or can't actually harm him in any way, he'll shrink and panic. But if you physically threaten him or attempt any of the above on a loved one, [[TranquilFury he'll kick your ass without hesitation]]. |
| 405 | * HatesBeingTouched: Unsurprising considering all of the abuse he's been through. When he was officially contracted to Vince, he would clam up in terror whenever Vince touched him. He's okay with his wife and kids touching him, though. |
| 406 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: He simply had a lot of practice with the dartboard in his dorm room while he was away at fashion school, then learned how to use sorcery to give his throws an extra punch. |
| 407 | * MeaningfulRename: 'Aunrei' is a transcription of the Earthen French name Henri (pronounced 'awn-ray'), which means 'king'. He gained this name very soon after escaping an extremely abusive oath-holder who took advantage of his Rivari servitude instincts and nearly broke him into an [[EmptyShell automaton]]. |
| 408 | * NervousWreck: Gets very fussy and high-strung under even a little pressure, or when faced with more than one task at once. Fitting a client's dress, only to get interrupted by his kids knocking something over in the back room? Trying to figure out a new, multi-part recipe? Getting asked while doing one thing to do something else when he gets a chance? Infant child starts crying in the middle of the night? It all stresses him out. On 'good days', he's sometimes able to muster a StepfordSmiler-like demeanor, with shades of all three subtypes of the trope- depressed, empty, ''and'' insane. |
| 409 | * PastExperienceNightmare: According to Dream II, Aunrei, after multiple decades, still has nightmares about being beaten by his old owner, the one he had before Vince. |
| 410 | -->"This isn't the first time I've had to relive pointless torture from an old owner. PTSD, what a funny little thing. |
| 411 | * ShrinkingViolet: When not completely strung-out or putting on a StepfordSmiler act, he defaults to soft-spoken and gentle. |
| 412 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Vince deliberately chose the Earthen name Henri for him, but in light of out-of-universe changes made to Mialian syllabary, the pronunciation had to be re-transcribed into 'Aunrei' to fit. Not to mention that a lot of people's first instinct is to pronounce 'Henri' like "hen-ree', not the French way that was intended, 'awn-ray'. |
| 413 | * TextileWorkIsFeminine: He's primarily a dressmaker, and while he can make quick adjustments to suits, it's his wife who specializes in suit-making. He went so far as to go to fashion school, he's really good at embroidery, and he makes all of Lily's dresses and Iris's tops and dresses (who has trouble buying off the rack because of her flat chest). |

| 419 | A freshly 'retired' Rivari from the Tefuri Islands who is trying to keep his past behind him by taking a job with Vinicio Acquati as chief of staff. With a couple millennia of experience with people of all walks of life, from simple homemakers all the way up to island chiefs, including twenty-plus consecutive generations as the chief tattooist and archivist for House Oriyn, he's settled comfortably into his position of leadership... maybe a bit too comfortably. |
| 420 | ---- |
| 421 | * {{Cyborg}}: Has cortical implants that allow him to control Castle Boreas, know who in the castle is where at all times, interface with Mialorian tech without an ID card or human input devices, and even keep favorite spells on tap. |
| 422 | * {{Guyliner}}: Wears some eyeliner mostly on his lower eyelids as part of traditional Tefurean fashion. Over there, [[JustifiedTrope it's actually pretty helpful against dust and sun-glare.]] |
| 423 | * HonestAdvisor: Demonstrates this in Frontier when he essentially tells Arthur to man up and start making the most of his defection from the government. |
| 424 | * NotSoStoic: Tries to project an air of unflappable dignity and efficiency and usually does a damn good job of it around strangers and acquaintances, but completely melts into a different person when alone with his husband and close friends. |
| 425 | * ThePhilosopher: His brief pre-retirement foray into another job got him questioning the nature of what it is to be a Rivari, and the entire concept of free will. |
| 426 | * PowerTattoo: Tsadro went over most of his older tattoos with chemiluminescent ink, so that they light up when he wields aither. In a subversion, there's nothing intrinsic to implanting his favorite spells under certain tattoos that also requires that they glow- he just added the light-up ink [[RuleOfCool because it looks cool]]. He can even disable the glowing effect at will. |
| 427 | * StoutStrength: Notably short for a Rivari (around 5'3"/160cm), yet built like a tree trunk. It's true that Rivari can't kill, but that didn't stop the Tefurean alliance government from putting him, and every other Rivari over the age of sixteen in Tefurea, through some seriously [[TrainingFromHell hardcore military training]] so he'd be ready for home-front attacks from Porint. |
| 428 | * TattooAsCharacterType: Has a traditional set for a Tefurean chief-tattooist Rivari, with tattoos covering most of his body from the tops of his feet to his neck, and covering his arms to twist around his fingers. The art style is also unlined unlike typical Western tattoos, is heavily reliant on shading and color blending like an oil painting, and chronicles the last several hundred years of Oriynyan history. |
| 429 | * TerseTalker: Seems to do this intentionally when he speaks Mialian, which is his (depending on how one categorizes Tefuric-family languages) either second or fourth language. He'll ''write'' perfectly normal sentences in Mialian, however, which gives off the implication that he's still dealing with a common problem that people speaking a second language often have. He doesn't have this problem at all when speaking his 'native' language, Oriynyan. |
| 430 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Lychee berries- one of his favorite ways to drown his troubles is lychee wine. His maid's [[ComfortFood stewed beans, topped with a fried egg and scooped up with a fresh flatbread]] are a close second. |

| 435 | %%* FreudianTrio: Matt's TheEgo, Eli's TheId, and Rafi's TheSuperego. |
| 436 | * LivingMoodRing: A common trait in general with half-fae. When they're trying to intimidate or otherwise become displeased with another person, their eyes may look more intensely blue, red, or purple to the person in question, [[DeathGlare as though they're trying to curse the person]]. The rest of the time, their eyes are more subdued. |
| 437 | * OurFairiesAreDifferent: Blue, red, and purple eyes in addition to small, yet realistically human stature and overall [[{{Elfeminate}} androgyny]] are the telltale signs here. They live in monarchic colonies and have insect wings, HairAntennae that function as real sensory organs- the Clines' are less pronounced -and have traditionally been known to [[ImAHumanitarian sirens]] as an emergency winter food source. Many of them give up much of their souls to a HiveMind, endowing them with long life and powerful sorcery [[StepfordSmiler at the cost of their individuality]]. Fae who don't do this will start to take on the traits of whatever souled beings they spend the most time around; in the case of the Clines, becoming less faean and more human. |

| 446 | The thirdborn child of Vinicio Acquati and Lillian Cline. As a teen, Matt was an aspiring actor and screenwriter until a stroke took his vision, and the complications took his life... or so everyone thought. He awoke from death due to Spiritism, a condition known for its uncontrolled aither-wielding that got him deported to Daneivis, a dumping-ground state for these Spirits that has been tottering on the brink of destruction for decades. The failed state hides a long-brewing revolution that Matt finds himself unknowingly recruited into, originating from nobody but the divisive Chancellor Katsuo Akamura himself. The chancellor is right in that helping him destroy the country might very well be the fastest ticket to freedom... if Katsuo's constant reminders that he is Matt's only hope don't kill the revolution before it's started. |

He's blind, but only partially; his eyes are undamaged, but [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortical_blindness his visual cortex just can't make any sense of what they're seeing.]] His brain is only able to perceive light and basic shapes, not color, depth, or very much detail. |
| 449 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: Used to be far quieter and more philosophical. He has since gotten... dorkier. |
| 450 | * ChekhovsSkill: Very early on in Garden, back when Matt used to be more or less completely blind save for his aitheric ring, Hector threw an apple at the general idea where the rest of the characters were, and Matt caught it. Much later on, he demonstrates skill with knives in an attempt to get Aldrin to stop harassing him. |
| 451 | * GenericCuteness: His appearance is something of a halfway point between Eli's severe angular features and Raphael's prepubescent looks, meaning that he sort of looks like the showbusiness version of plain, ergo, generically attractive. |
| 452 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: With Daisuke. Matt likes his intelligence and insight, but also feels a sort of pity for Daisuke because he's so attached to [[EvilOldFolks his grandfather]]. |
| 453 | * MartialArtsStaff: His does triple duty as a blind man's cane, martial arts-quality combat staff, and dynamistic cattle prod thanks to its lightning-friendly reinforced copper tip. |
| 454 | * ParentalSubstitute: Occasionally to Daisuke, if he starts to take pity or it suddenly hits him just what the boy's [[AbusiveParents going/gone]] [[{{Tykebomb}} through]]. However, Daisuke, viewing him as a friend and not as another dad, just finds it condescending and hates it. |
| 455 | * PunchClockVillain: Even if Katsuo is/isn't exactly evil, Matt bears many traits of one, including transforming into, as the tabloids call him, 'Akamura's attack dog'. |

The really creepy part is ''how'' he likes to punish- with PsychicSurgery. One of his favorite tricks involves plucking a particular nerve that controls the larynx like a violin string, which will make the poor person's voice go raspy so they can still talk, but can't cry out or speak any louder than a whisper. |

| 688 | |
| 689 | A slight-of-build and skittish saurian inhabitant of the same world Wesley comes from. She has a bounty on her and is on the run from mercenaries. Her mannerisms don't quite pattern to those of Humans, being of a different species. This tends to lead to distrust and ostracism from what areas her kind have been able to settle. |
| 690 | ---- |
| 691 | * BetterAsFriends: She and Xavier ultimately come to the conclusion in Resort that their relationship seemed like a good idea at the time, but that it ultimately had no real basis and they should just be friends. There were later hints of a subversion, as they experienced signs of a more serious attraction, but [[RealLifeWritesThePlot she dropped out of the thread before it went anywhere.]] |
| 692 | * BreakoutCharacter: She was originally intended to be Wesley's sidekick, but positive reaction and the connections she formed with other troper characters meant that she had much more screentime in Resort than he did. |
| 693 | * CharacterDevelopment: She became noticeably more self-confident and less skittish with each thread she participated in. While this was partially the product of [[CharacterizationMarchesOn behind-the-scenes alterations]], in-universe it flowed fairly naturally from the changes in her life. |
| 694 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: While she was never willing to discuss it in serious detail, she seems to have a very rough life before the [=CDTs=]. Known details include that she never knew her family, endured a lot of persecution from humans, and implicitly survived mostly by scavenging. Since meeting Wesley her life seems to have improved a lot, though it's hinted that she's uncomfortable with some of the things she's done as a mercenary. |
| 695 | * InnocentFanserviceGirl: It's hardly fanservicey as far as most humans are concerned, but she doesn't seem to have any concerns about casual nudity. [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn The same can't be said for some of the other reptilian characters she meets, though.]] |
| 696 | * InterspeciesFriendship: Her friendship with Wesley, which is [[TrueCompanions close and familial enough]] that it's sometimes mistaken for InterspeciesRomance. |
| 697 | * InterspeciesRomance: Her relationship with Xavier, though it was ultimately doomed and petered out into friendship. |
| 698 | * LizardFolk: She's a member of a semi-amphibious reptilian species called the Kasuar, and in addition to her non-human appearance has some distinctly non-human mannerisms as well. |
| 699 | * NeverGetsDrunk: Apparently as a result of her physiology, she's capable of taking in much more alcohol then a human could. Although the same can't be said for the infamous Pan-Galactic GargleBlaster. |
| 700 | * NeverLearnedToRead: As the inevitable result of the way she grew up, she's illiterate, though it's established in Resort that Wesley is teaching her to read and write. She seems able to read well, if not without difficulty, by the time of Dream. |
| 701 | * OnlyOneName: Most likely as a result of never knowing her family (since other Kasuar ''have'' been shown to have one), she has no surname. |
| 702 | * PluckyGirl: Despite not being human, she fits the trope quite well: though she begins the threads at a low point, she gradually comes to be able to stay optimistic - even playful - and surprisingly tough in the face of what's implied to be a very harsh life. |
| 703 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: She and Qrlil eventually develop something of a same-sex version of this dynamic, especially in Dream. Qrlil is intellectual, mostly non-physical, and rather stiff and repressed, while Angua is energetic, book-dumb, and has a lot of fun ribbing Qrlil. |
| 704 | * ShipperOnDeck: After breaking up with Xavier in Resort, she tries to get him and Qrlil together. [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed,]] though, in that while she does feel they're better matched than she and Xavier were, she's mostly just doing it to get a rise out of Qrlil. |
| 705 | * SuddenNameChange: Her name was retroactively changed from Saliha to Angua between Resort and Dream. |
| 706 | * TheirFirstTime: Her one-night stand with Xavier in Cantina II is the first time she's ever had sex, and its spontaneous nature does go on to later cause some awkwardness. |
| 707 | * VagueAge: She has no idea how old she actually is, though it's somewhere in her twenties. Behaviorally, in some ways she seems surprisingly young, but in others has clearly had to grow up very fast. |

| 741 | ---- |
| 742 | * ActionGirl: She is a skilled, competent, and experienced mercenary. She primarily seems to prefer guns, but having any weapon at all makes her instantly more comfortable. |
| 743 | * DeadpanSnarker: One of her standard reactions to most things that aren't immediately dangerous is to snark. She shows it off most in Archipelago, where she has no stake in the events of the plotline and so simply makes flippant remarks. |
| 744 | * HairTriggerTemper: In Dig Site, after Moonlit Blossom responds to her (slightly inept) attempt at sympathy in with condescension, she ''explodes''. She nearly blows up again at Marion when asked to deal with it and move on. Although it's not on display quite as much in other threads, she thinks about having a temper more than once. |
| 745 | * HideYourOtherness: She tries to hide her nature as an elf in each thread - both by covering her ears and, in Dig Site, concealing her natural sensitivity to magic - and it's a significant moment in Mansion when she reveals it to Krajn. This is at least in part due to her conflict with the Raldists. |
| 746 | * TheMagnificent: She uses "Elisif the Raven" as a ''nom de guerre'', though judging by her awkwardness when telling Krajn in Mansion, it's not something she's particularly comfortable with. |
| 747 | * MysteriousPast: She is reluctant in the extreme to talk about her past, mentioning it only a little about it to Krajn in Mansion and never anywhere else. Part of this is clearly caused by her efforts to hide that she's an elf, but it's also hinted that there are some pretty bad things in it. |
| 748 | * NotSoStoic: She's not exactly stoic, but normally she tries to present a tough and unfazed exterior. This cracks more than once in Mansion, though, possibly because of how out of her depth she feels, as well as sheer physical exhaustion and pain. |
| 749 | * OnlyOneName: "Elisif" is a human first name, given to her by the human traders who raised her, but she never felt comfortable enough as a part of their family to use their surname. Her elven birth name, if she had one, is unknown. |
| 750 | * PointyEars: As is standard for the elves in her world. She hides them under something different in each thread she appears in as part of her efforts to avoid revealing she's an elf. |
| 751 | * PrivateMilitaryContractors: She's been a mercenary for most of her life, though apparently not as a member of a single specific organization. She seems fairly comfortable with the role, but it's strongly implied she didn't come to it by her own choice. In addition to more conventional mercenary work, she says she has more than a little experience with DungeonCrawling. |
| 752 | * RaisedByHumans: She was found as an infant and raised by a human trading family, and she knows very little about what other elves are like - in Mansion she claims to have never even met one. However, this doesn't mean she considers herself primarily human either. |
| 753 | * RedHerringShirt: She's introduced in Dig Site as a random member of Marion's hired security, but is actually an important figure in her home canon. |
| 754 | * SpeciesLoyalty: Thoroughly averted, in contrast to many people from her setting. She's aggressively opposed to the "species essentialist" ideology of Raldism and bristles at any sign of speciesist prejudice, such as when Tucker stares at [[DraconicHumanoid Marion]] too long in Dig Site. Nor is she particularly loyal to elves as a race, noting after seeing the [[JerkassGods Elven Spirit]] in Mansion that she'd like to "turn in my pointy ears and membership card at the soonest convenience, please" if that's what most of them are like. |
| 755 | * StepfordSmiler: It's very strongly suggested that her cheerful personality and [[StepfordSnarker tendency to snark]] are intended at least in part to help her avoid the darker aspects of her life and past. |
| 756 | * SuddenlyShouting: She does this in her blowup at Blossom in Dig Site, partially as an attempt at treating the situation like a military interaction (which doesn't work since Blossom's a civilian), and partially because she's just that mad. |
| 757 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: After her fight with Blossom in Dig Site, she eventually sucks it up and works together with her to explore the tomb, doing nothing worse than occasionally glaring. |
| 758 | * WakingUpElsewhere: How she enters Mansion: waking up in a closet to find herself with a healing head injury, none of her gear, and no idea how she got there. The details are never actually explained due to [[RealLifeWritesThePlot character drop-out issues]]. |

| 766 | * CulturalPosturing: Parodied. She's jokingly invoked some [[CantArgueWithElves standard rhetoric about elvish superiority]], but doesn't appear to actually mean it. In fact, she's indicated that the existence of this trope among Kasuar is why she likes to bother Akiel. |
| 767 | * TheGadfly: She gets a big kick out of saying outrageous or annoying things to people (especially Akiel) and seeing how they react. |
| 768 | * AnIcePerson: Although capable of multiple forms of magic, she's indicated she's best at conjuring ice. |
| 769 | * MildlyMilitary: While apparently quite competent at her job, she doesn't act very professional. [[JustifiedTrope This is possibly because she's not technically military at all]], as she has no apparent rank and Rald addresses her as "Miss Aryé". |
| 770 | * ShoutOut: After [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14002771270A73207500&page=27#665 showing off her ice powers]] for Havanar in Inn, she mutters [[Franchise/{{Frozen}} "Why do I suddenly feel the urge to break into song?"]] |
| 771 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Played with. Havanar initially assumed this was the nature of her relationship with Akiel, but they really ''don't'' get along, though most of the true antipathy seems to be on Akiel's end. However, she genuinely does seem to prefer a certain snarky overtone to her friendships. |

| 778 | ---- |
| 779 | * FantasticRacism: Played with. Despite being a passionate believer in the essentially segregationist Raldist ideology, she's not biased against other races. But she is fairly bigoted against relationships between Kasuar and mammals, considering them disturbing and abnormal. |
| 780 | * HatesSmallTalk: She doesn't exactly ''hate'' it, but she's no good at it and prefers to focus on her work. |
| 781 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Although abrasive and prejudiced, she does have a soft side, though Nyris has implied that Havanar's the only person she's seen bring it out. |
| 782 | * TheNotLoveInterest: In Inn, [[LonelyTogether she and Havanar]] hit it off extremely well (after some initial bafflement) and wind up becoming much more comfortable and open with each other than either is normally. But while their relationship has certain similarities to past romances in the [=CDTs=] (which Nyris is happy to tease them about), it's actually entirely platonic. |
| 783 | * OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions: While fairly neutral on the topic of religion in general, she apparently has a strong personal dislike for the Kasuar creation myth that the Sahuagin corps is named after, calling it a "Bunch of primitive nonsense". |
| 784 | %%* StraightMan: To both Nyris and Havanar in Inn, though in slightly different fashions. |

| 794 | * OfficerAndAGentleman: Although he is not yet technically an officer, he nonetheless demonstrates the refined and slightly stiff, but polite, mannerisms associated with this trope. This in fact leads Kel - along with his uniform - to actually assume he is an officer. |
| 795 | * OnlySaneMan: Within the main plotline he's involved with in Fair, he takes on this role to an extent when compared to the amoral, sarcastic, crude mercenary Rey and the decidedly OddCouple duo of Nioba and Lihiri. He also comes across as much more of an ordinary person than his friend Nyris. |
| 796 | * OutOfFocus: Although he technically appeared in Inn, he had effectively no screen time at all next to Nyris and Akiel. |
| 797 | * RescueIntroduction: He debuts in Fair as a hostage seized, apparently at random, by the Vakaza terrorists, and is then rescued by several other characters, with whom most of his subsequent interactions will be with. |
