1	[[foldercontrol]]
2
3	[[folder: Midguardians]]
4	!![[color:#cc6022:12 - To Brave Us]]
5	The unofficially accepted Leader of the Midguardians, and one of the main sources of muscle and conflict in the group. Belongs to Snowiweather.
6
7	* ActionMom: Even after her son 53 Jr. is born, 12 participated in the battle of the Climax, and most likely intends to continue fighting for as long as she lives.
8	* [[AFatherToHisMen A Mother To Her Men]]: 12 genuinely cares for the well being and happiness of her fellow Midguardians, trying to make enough time to make sure they're alright, trying to help sort out any problems they have, complimenting them on their achievements, and offering fierce love and affection to boost their morale, even when she herself is on the brink of despair.
9	* AfraidOfNeedles: A play on words trope - she IS deathly afraid of needles, just not the syringe type. Though, all things considered, she probably was afraid of syringes when she was a human.
10	* BearHug: Unless she thinks about it, EVERY hug 12 gives is this.
11	* [[spoiler:BigSleep]]: Sleep has consistently become a motif for 12 and [[spoiler:death]]. When [[spoiler:the Fabricator Queen in its Seamstress form melted her insides, she mumbled to 98 while seemingly dying in his arms about being tired.]] Later, when [[spoiler:she falls into a coma after the Climax, her "thoughts" consist of "going to sleep". ''Forever'']].
12	* BookDumb: 12 is not the sharpest tool in the shed, to put it nicely, but she has shown a capacity and willingness to learn.
13	* TheChainsOfCommanding: Very much so.
14	* CowardlyLion: Despite being one of the biggest and strongest dolls yet seen in the Fractured Wasteland story, 12 is also one of the biggest cowards out there - this does not prevent her from beating Beasts to death with her bare hands, but it does mean that she's pissing herself with absolute terror while doing so. "Stupidly brave" ''she is''.
15	* [[spoiler:DespairEventHorizon]]: After witnessing [[spoiler:53's death (he being the first doll she ever saw die), learning of Rain's suicide, being tortured and watching others suffer, sometimes at her own hand, all while under the impression that everything bad that happened was her personal fault, 12 finally plunges headfirst over this when she learns that Stigma is dead - after promising that everyone who went to kill Alpha would come out alive]]. [[AngstComa The end results are NOT pretty.]]
16	* EmotionalBruiser: This is pretty much one of her defining tropes. She can crush a Seamstresses head under one arm, but she'll also sob with sadness or wibble over cute things. She'd much prefer to have a good laugh with a friend and sing a cheery song than fight or lead.
17	* FatAndProud: Though extremely insecure about her big, bulky design, she is slated to become much more accepting of her appearance and blossom into this.
18	* FriendToAllChildren: 12 absolutely adores children and infants, motherhood having been practically built into her bones. Show her a small kid and she'll coddle and croon over and drown them in affection for hours.
19	* GuiltComplex: Her second defining trope. She has a guilt complex the size of a small continent, and has the amazing ability to blame herself for anything bad that occurs, whether or not it is her fault or not. If she could find a way to pinpoint herself as being the cause of Original Sin, she ''would''.
20	* HairTriggerTemper: Her third defining trope. 12 has the unfortunate tendency to go berserk with the slightest of provocation - it can range from being in an epic and intense fight, to calling her "fat", to hurting or threatening one of her friends, to harming a child. This COULD be quite useful, as 12 is much more dangerous when she is enraged... but it also means she can [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown go postal]] on ''group members'' at the drop of a hat. [[spoiler: Sorry Jack, sorry Signum]]. Well. Not really [[spoiler: [[TookALevelInJerkass Signum]].]]
21	* HeroicBSOD: Too many times to count. 12 has never been particularly stable, so when things go wrong, she tends to either do this outright, or get pretty damn close. The worse by far was when [[spoiler: Stigma died, sending her hurtling over the [[DespairEventHorizon Despair Event Horizon]]]], [[EmptyShell leaving her an empty, broken shell]], and spiraling into an [[AngstComa angst coma]] that seemed as though it would only end with [[spoiler: her death]]. [[spoiler: Good thing 98 went out to get himself killed and got her movin' again]].
22	** [[spoiler: [[TheLostLenore Or not, since he's slated to die]]]].
23	* HeroicSelfDeprecation: No matter how many times she manages to narrowly save her groups collective ass, no matter how good or kind or caring or brave she might truly be, 12 believes herself to be the lowest of the low, a total spineless coward, a dangerously unstable berserker, and unworthy of these wonderful, wacky friends or a loyal, sweet mate.
24	* [[spoiler: HiddenDepths]]: Turns out 12's [[spoiler: a lot more complicated than first believed, given she's practically a toddler by the Rebel's age standards. Thanks for the explanation, [[CoolOldGuy 10]]]].
25	* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Her mate, 98, is this for the most part. Occasionally Theo or C2 take up this role as well. Without them, she would surely crumble. [[spoiler: She might already have anyway.]]
26	* MamaBear: [[ShoutOut Didn't anyone ever tell you?]] There're friends and family and children you never harm or threaten if you're smart. If you value your continued existence, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there's one person who protects them that you never, ''ever'' fuck. With. ''12''.
27	* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Early on in the RP, the group came under attack by two Beasts during a storm. True to her nature, 12 went charging on in (after becoming enraged when 98, then only a friend, was injured), but ended up speared on a pipe. It was only after she ordered the others to find a disappeared 53, got 98 inside, and taken care of that she decided to notice the gaping hole in her stomach, and promptly pass out.
28	* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: 53's death, and Rain's subsequent suicide]] plague her to this day. Doesn't help that [[spoiler: 53, a doll shaping up to be a good friend, was the first person she ever saw die]]. [[spoiler: Stigma's death is shaping up to be this as well]].
29	* NeutralGood: Though she is the former Leader of the Rebels and the Leader of Dimensionals or was and tries to uphold the rules of basic group survival, she is more than ready to break those rules and go running after a friend in trouble while putting everyone else in danger. The only consistent thing about her is that while she can't maintain just law or lawlessness, she always ''tries'' to do good. [[spoiler: It just never seems to work]]...
30	* PostVictoryCollapse: 12 has a habit of doing this, after the adrenaline and rage wears off. When she crashes and burns, she crashes and burns "hard".
31	* SickeninglySweethearts: She and 98. They cuddle, sing duets, and whisper sweet everything's to one another. It still manages to be ridiculously adorable.
32	* StoutStrength: 12, honey? All that plush isn't fat, sweetheart. It's ''muscle''.
33	* TinyGuyHugeGirl: 98 is either smaller than average or average height. 12 is 9.3" tall.
34	* TragicHero: Oh so very much. Despite being a very heroic person in basic outline, 12 is riddled with so many flaws that in terms of personality she must look like Swiss cheese. [[spoiler: Any good she tries to achieve or do becomes balanced or outweighed by the bad that naturally seems to happen]].
35	* UnskilledButStrong: 12's battle tactics mainly consist of, 1) Find Enemy. 2) Take Club. 3) Beat Enemy with Club. 4) Repeat Step 3 till Enemy stops moving. 5) Repeat Steps 1 through 4 till all Enemies stop moving. 6) [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Go home and snuggle with 98]].
36	* TheWoobie: This ''girl''. Sweet goodness. She's like a porcelain figure pre-made with small cracks of insecurity in her, then struck repeatedly with a hammer, then ground into dust, then burned. When all is said and done, at the end of this long, miserable day, this girl just needs a fuckin' hug. [[spoiler: At this point, she's almost as broken as Alpha was]].
37	* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: At this point, this goes without saying. Making 12 angry is a BAD idea.
38
39	!!Neil
40	Belongs to Caineachu.

42	!!Theo
43	Belongs to Castoro.

62	Belongs to Abby.
63
64	!!15 - To Unite Us
65	One of the original Midguardians, 15 is an oracle and is hinted at being a decent fighter. Belongs to Prophet.

68	* [[{{Seers}} Seer]]
69
70	!!98
71	Belongs to Socky.
72
73	!!53 - To Test Us
74	One of the original Midguardians, 53 was one of the main fighters of the group, and his [[spoiler:death]] kicked off the main plot for the entire RP. Belongs to Caineachu.
75
76	* AbsurdlySharpBlade: His knife can easy stab through Cat Skulls, although he is shown sharping it at least once.
77	* AnnoyingArrows: He experiences something like this, as he can shrug off a lot of injuries, one of them being multiple needles from a Seamstress stabbing into him during a fight. He doesn't display how much it hurts until after the fight's over.
78	* BloodKnight: Yes. Very much so.
79
80
81	[[/folder]]
82
83	[[folder: Rebels]]
84	A group of Stitchpunks belonging to Snowi, that are from an alternate timeline of [Nine] where (supposedly) the human Rebellion created ten Stitchpunks to aid the original 9 in the process of saving life. They awoke later on [[spoiler: after the Fabrication Machine was destroyed]] but have since gone on to at least help the Survivors in the process of [[spoiler: healing the planet]]. They reside in a decked out Church, and are [[spoiler: formerly]] led by 12. Three of their number have yet to make an appearance, and [[spoiler: Snowi has revealed that there is a traitor in their midst. No one knows who this traitor is as of yet. At the moment, bets are being made on 17 or 11.]]
85
86	!![[color:7a5c52:10 - To Better Us]]
87	The elderly mentor figure of the Rebels, and also the teacher of 15.
88
89	!![[color:#3b2053:11 - To Remember Us]]
90	The young waifish seer of the Rebels, whose morality tends to be... flexible.
91
92	!![[color:#cc6022:12 - To Brave Us]]
93	* See the Midguardians folder for her tropes.
94
95	!![[color:#576386:13 - To Disregard Us]]
96	The "douchebag ninja" of the Rebels, the rival of 12, and the big brother figure to 15.
97
98	!![[color:#3f1105:14 - To Shield Us]]
99	The ancient unofficial Grandfather of the Rebels, who acts as their defender in battle.
100
101	!![[color:#465244:15 - To Navigate Us]]
102	The young, anxious survivalist of the Rebels, whose maps and knowledge of the Emptiness make him a valuable asset to them.
103
104	!![[color:#ddc558:16 - To Revere Us]]
105	The priestly-ranger of the Rebels, a kindhearted soul who brings much needed joy to their group.
106
107	!![[color:#912618:17 - To Dissect Us]]
108	The cynical medic of the Rebels, an utter hyper-intelligent jerkass with a penchant for getting a little too interested in his operations.
109
110	!![[color:#912618:18 - To Antagonize Us]]
111	The boisterous bully of the Rebels, who seems to have a compulsive need to be nasty to everyone except her Twin, 17.
112
113	!![[color:#1e3b98:19 - To Forget Us]]
114	The charismatic charmer of the Rebels, whose memory problems easily make him the happiest chap in all the Emptiness.
115	[[/folder]]
116
117	[[folder: Tormentors]]
118	!![[color:#2f4c83:Alpha - To Divide Us]]
119	The Leader of the Tormentors, the first main Big Bad, and possibly the craziest and scariest mother fucker in the entire Roleplay. Belongs to Snowiweather.
120
121	* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Alpha has three scalpel blades in place of fingers on his left hand, and they almost seem to possess ''supernatural'' sharpness as well as ridiculously huge amounts of scary. [[spoiler: For instance, they manage to slice through Conduit's soul-cables, nearly killing him.]]
122	* AFatherToHisMen: Believes that he is this, though given he's as insane as something very very insane, you can bet that what he believes and what is real don't quite meet up. [[spoiler: Played straight with when he was younger, as we see in the Flashback to Gamma's death.]]
123	* AffablyEvil: One of his creepier aspects is just how NICE he is. He's polite and respectful to women (referring to them as "miss" or "dear"), cordial and fatherly to men, likes a good heart to heart chat, and is generally a pleasant fellow to be around. Shame it's all undermined with just how HORRIBLY creepy he is at the same time.
124	* [[spoiler: AlasPoorVillain]]: [[spoiler: Oh so much. [[TearJerker Right to the end]].]]
125	* AxCrazy: Alpha has a lot of trouble discerning between "stern reprimand", and "brutal murder". And he doesn't really seem to care.
126	* BigBad: For the Tormentor arc, since he was the one commanding his people to wipe out the Stitchpunks of the city, and had turned the Tormentors sights firmly on the Dimensionals.
127	* [[spoiler: BrokenAce]]: [[spoiler: Once, his amiable and friendly nature were undoubtedly real, coupled with a heaping helpful of courage and a selflessness that was almost Messianic. But now? He's just broken]].
128	* CynicismCatalyst: [[spoiler: Not literally his sister, but very very dead all the same. In the flashback it was revealed that he personally blamed himself for every single death in his group. Their deaths haunted him constantly]]. It's unknown what his view is on this now.
129	* DissonantSerenity: Alpha is at peace in practically every situation he finds himself in, smiling softly no matter what is happening. Even when he is gutting his comrades.
130	* EvilCounterpart: To 12. [[spoiler: They share quite a few characteristics, both physical, mental, emotional, and in their histories]]. They've even echoed each others words without realizing it on a few occasions. It's gotten to the point that if 12 is ever near breaking, the [=RPers=] call it "going Alpha".
131	* FanPreferredCouple: [[spoiler: In the first flashback of the Tormentor's past, we see Alpha and Gamma interact when in the abandoned house the group stays in for the night. And the ship was born (even though Gamma was in a relationship with Iskra at the time, goodness). Then it sunk when Gamma died. Then it rose from the waves once more when the Climax ended... and it is now [[TogetherInDeath Together In Death]].]]
132	* [[spoiler: FreudianExcuse]]: [[spoiler: How he really lost his mind hasn't been revealed]]. [[spoiler: ''Yet'']].
133	* GlasgowSmile: A practice he put into motion after coming to the belief that since people smile when they're happy, they're happy when they smile. Think about that for a second. Then read this trope in full. Then think about how violent he is. [[FridgeHorror Now put the pieces together]].
134	* [[spoiler: GrandTheftMe]]: After [[spoiler: she murdered him, Sihd transferred Conduit's soul-core into Alpha's body]]. This has presented numerous complications.
135	* HairTriggerTemper: More like "Hair Trigger Madness", but the principle is the same. It's almost impossible to know what exactly might. Ahem. Upset him, but the more obvious and well-known routes are quite simple. If you want to keep your face unsliced, DO NOT suggest that you are unhappy in ANY WAY. And for God's sake, do not, I repeat, [[FreakOut DO NOT SUGGEST THAT OMEGA ISN'T REAL. DON'T DO IT, MAN, DON'T YOU FUCKIN' DO IT-!]]
136	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With his former lieutenant, Beta. These two were very close friends when Beta was alive, as Alpha relied on Beta to help him maintain order in the often panicked and wayward group. After Gamma's death, Beta was forced to maintain a near constant presence around his Leader, and often stayed up with him on the nights when Alpha wouldn't let himself sleep. [[HoYay It was kind've bromantically adorable]], [[LivingEmotionalCrutch in a heart-breaking way]].
137	* SoftspokenSadist: Alpha's voice is Jack Haley's, the man who portrayed the Tinman in the 1939 version of the Wizard of Oz. Just take a listen to his soft, breathy voice, then read through even a single conversation with Alpha, and you'll realize why this trope applies.
138
139	!!Beta - To Strengthen Us
140	The former second in command of the Tormentors, Eta's mate, and the group's former pillar of strength. Deceased. Belongs to Snowiweather.
141
142	!!Gamma
143	Belongs to Ukari.
144
145	!! Delta - To Remind Us
146	The first casualty the Tormentors suffered, and Sihd's big brother figure. Deceased (obviously). Belongs to Snowiweather
147
148	!!Epsilon - To Bother Us
149	The token child of the Tormentors, its brat in-residence, and Stigma's former best friend. Deceased. Belongs to Snowiweather.
150
151	!!Zeta
152	Belongs to Abby.
153
154	!!Eta - To Mother Us
155	The Tormentor's mother figure, a queenly exotic Stitchpunk, Beta's mate, and Epsilon's surrogate mother. Deceased. Belongs to Snowiweather.
156
157	!!Theta
158	Belongs to Castoro.
159
160	!![[color:#404b34:Sihd - To Observe Us]]
161	The Tormentor's cold, deadpan scout and spy, and an extremely ascended extra. Now a part of the main cast. Belongs to Snowiweather.
162
163	* YouthfulFreckles: Sihd is quite the youthful doll, with soft, delicate features and a (relatively) lithe frame, and as this trope suggests, has a remarkable spattering of rust freckles across her face. [[SubvertedTrope Except she's well over a decade old and is about ninety in cynicism]].
164
165	!!Stigma - Soul of the Stained
166	A menacing warrior covered from head to wooden foot in metal armor, his face covered by a skull mask to hide a dark memory from his past. Belongs to Caineachu.
167
168	* AbsurdlySharpBlade: His sword can cut through Cat Beasts and Seamstresses as if they were paper.
169	* AntagonistInMourning: Stigma was one of these when he remembered about [[spoiler:the deaths of Gamma and Epsilon]] while he was locked in the basement shortly after his [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn]]
170	* BloodKnight: This is a common theme for Caine's characters.
171	* DarkAndTroubledPast
172	* DefiantToTheEnd: Even after he was [[spoiler:stabbed in the back and in the face by Conduit]], he still managed to get out a few good blows to his attacker before dying.
173	* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn]]
174	* InTheBack
175	* MeaningfulName: One of the meanings of Stigma can be "a mark of shame," and Stigma considers his scarred and optic-less face a mark of shame, a constant reminder of his failure to save [[spoiler:Gamma from the building, and then later Epsilon and Eta from Alpha]].
176	* SkullForAHead: He has something kinda like this, as the mask he wears has a skull on it and he only takes it off twice in the whole RP.
177
178	!!Conduit - To Orchestrate Us
179	Belongs to Castoro.
180
181	!!Iskra
182	Belongs to Ukari.
183
184	!!Omega - To Embody Us
185	An extremely mysterious Tormentor, so mysterious that not even their gender has been defined. They may hold the key to Alpha's madness. Belongs to Snowiweather.

191	* See the Machines folder for tropes.
192
193	!!Ari - Amiculum
194	The stitchpunk of the group best suited for stealth and, as her title implies, assassinations. Belongs to Caineachu.
195
196	!!Calvaria - Venator
197	The Sun God's head hunter. Belongs to Azvolrien.
198
199	!!Cavus -

206
207	!!Glitch - Minister
208	A servant in Pueri Solis. Belongs to Ukari.
209
210	!!Igor - Purgator
211	Torquemada's right hand man, and one of Pueri Solis's purifactors. Actually a pretty nice guy. Belongs to Snowiweather
212
213	!!Torquemada -
214	The Sun God's head torturer, and one crazy mama-jama. Belongs to Snowiweather.
215
216	!!Umbra - Imperium
217	The Sun God's second in-command. Belongs to Castoro.
218
219	!!Valentine - Bellator

225	!![[color:#7f1500:Jormungandr - The God]]
226	The Big Bad of Fractured Wasteland.
227
228	!!The Fabricator Queen
229	A type of machine that has two forms - first, that of a typical (if unusually cunning) Seamstress, second, that of a miniature Fabrication Machine. An extremely dangerous creature.
230
231	!!The Banshee
232	A type of Beast created from the remains of deceased Stitchpunks, the Banshee is recognized by its two psychologically scarring vocalizations, its sobs and its screams. Both are designed to cripple a Stitchpunk, the sobs sounding like a loved one's mournful crying, and the screams sounding like a loved one dying in absolute agony. It has been implied that the Banshee has fragments of true consciousness, maybe even a soul.
233
234	!!The Salamander
235	A fire breathing Beast meant to resemble a wingless dragon, vicious and relentless.
236	[[/folder]]
237
238	[[folder: RP-ers]]

252	* CloudCuckooLander: I completely admit to being this.
253	* CovertPervert
254	* CutenessProximity: Usually with baby seals.

273	* CloudCuckooLander: Can be this, and I don't mind it at all.
274	* DeadpanSnarker: I can admittedly be one at times.
275	* GoshDangItToHeck: I never swear, though I do use substitutes for curse words, such as "fudge" or "fudgesicles", the latter of those two from [[{{LetsPlay/Chuggaaconroy}} a certain Lets Player]]... I've also recently come to use [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Equestrian swearing]].
276	* SarcasmMode: I tend to use this quite a bit
