| 5 | [[folder:General]] |
| 6 | * AerithAndBob: The cast of [=NPCs=] averted this for a while, mostly consisting of names like Ian and Johnny, with the least "normal" probably being Moira or Anna Corinne. Later additions like Cresento and Nicolae eventually shoved Gaia into this trope. Then you have the vast collection of usernames; many people think of their avatars as characters with some place in TheVerse, and even if you only count the three users who have definitively become part of canon, none of them had particularly average names. |

| 9 | [[folder:Barton Characters]] |
| 10 | !Agatha |
| 11 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_0_agatha2.png]] |
| 12 | The old lady who runs Barton Jewellers. Old flame of Logan's. |
| 13 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 14 | * FanDisservice: Her infamous "Sagatha" Halloween costume. |
| 15 | * HalloweenCosplay: One of the original cosplayers in 2004 as [[Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}} Slimer]]. Later years brought us the memetic "Sagatha", a blue-skinned Medusa costume with a metal bra and not much else. |
| 16 | ** In 2010 ,she cosplayed as Cleopatra |
| 17 | * NeverMessWithGranny: Not a grandmother ''yet'', but one piece of dialogue from a ''zOMG!'' quest involving her suggests that she finds the Animated more of a nuisance than an actual threat, and makes trips to Durem despite them and the barricade (and the rumored greater Animated presence in Durem). |
| 18 | ** There's also her fearlessness in putting her body on display every Halloween... |
| 19 | |
| 20 | !Barrett: |
| 21 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_barrett_happy.png]] |
| 22 | The assistant to your Aquarium. Currently living with Mirai. |
| 23 | !!Associated tropes |
| 24 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: He loves fish. |
| 25 | * JustFriends: There is ''a lot'' of speculation about Barrett and Mirai's relationship. But they probably put the fish before their own relationship. |
| 26 | ** Barrett definitely shows signs of interest in Mirai. And seeing as the two were based on a real-life couple among Gaia staff... |
| 27 | * ManlyTears: He will shed some when one of your fish dies. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | !Carl |
| 30 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_0_carl_24bit.png]] |
| 31 | Apparently runs "Junk In The Trunk," and by "apparently," we mean "he's a perfectly normal deer standing behind the counter of a shop." And by "perfectly normal," we mean ''completely'' mundane. |
| 32 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 33 | * BerserkButton: Apparently loud sounds are enough to get Carl riled up, but if you value your crew's life in Frontier Skies, [[ItsPersonal do not kill his kin!]] |
| 34 | * FurryReminder: He's a deer and, as would be expected, he's set off by loud noises. |
| 35 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: The whole "deer caught in the headlights" look. Very creepy. |
| 36 | * HalloweenCosplay: In one instance, he was [[Manga/OnePiece Tony Chopper]] and, in another, he was [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePony Pinkie Pie]]. |
| 37 | * TheMillstone: You could choose him as a guide during the Summer '10 event, which was an AffectionateParody of ''VideoGame/TheOregonTrail''. Among other things, he would eat your bullets and/or throw them overboard... and ''kill the entire party'' if you shot other elk while hunting. |
| 38 | ** As a result, the badge you get for winning with him is [[BraggingRightsReward easily the most expensive of the badges]]. |
| 39 | * TalkingAnimal: Averted, as his speech bubbles narrate his actions, however, some holiday season errors result in him accidentally praising you for Christmas carols or Trick Or Treats. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | !Damian "Ian" Von Helson |
| 42 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_0_ian_24bit.png]] |

| 44 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 45 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: If you harm or threat any of his closest friends and family menbers, you're gonna be in for some major trouble. |
| 46 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Very much so to Louie especially after they both reunited. |
| 47 | * CharacterDevelopment: Quite a major one. The outcome? Check his [[TookALevelInBadass level of badass!]] |
| 48 | * {{Dhampyr}}: Vampire on his father's side, human on his mother's. |
| 49 | * FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Due to years of exposure in the human world, Ian, by far, doesn't request much for his vampire needs, and gets along with people very well. |
| 50 | * HalloweenCosplay: He's pretty much the resident anime themed cosplayer. Since the boutique upgrade, he usually plays TheHero characters. |
| 51 | ** Daisuke Jigen from ''Franchise/LupinIII'' (2008) |
| 52 | ** Goku from ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' (2010) |
| 53 | ** Kotetsu T. Kaburagi from ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'' (2011) |
| 54 | ** [[TheNthDoctor Eleven]] from ''Series/DoctorWho'' (2012) |
| 55 | ** Eren Yeager from ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' (2013) |
| 56 | * HellishPupils: Comes from being half vampire. Ian's anything but "hellish," though. |
| 57 | * KindheartedCatLover: Of Rufus no less |
| 58 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He's mostly called and known as "Ian". His real name "Damian" is mostly said in the comics |
| 59 | * TookALevelInBadass: Halloween 2K7 movie MMVII part II. [[spoiler: Ian transformed into vampire battle mode, swanged ''Zhivago 2'' full circles in midair, tossed him up in the air, and send him off with a flykick. Later got stabbed by Zhivago again on the hand, but not only did Ian took a bite in paining Zhivago off the building, he pulled out the dagger in his hand in ''full ease''.]] |
| 60 | ** In the Crystal Overdrive CI, [[TheHero Ian]] not only earned his BishieSparkle, he also [[Anime/DragonBallZ supersaiyaned]] into [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud]]. |
| 61 | * VegetarianVampire: Close, though he's very good at not craving for blood, he's certainly consumes human food normally, like cooked meat, and pies. |
| 62 | |
| 63 | !Leon |
| 64 | Captain of the Barton Regulars. Also runs the Guild Registry. |
| 65 | !!Associated Tropes |
| 66 | * [[CityGuards City Guard]] |
| 67 | * ExtremeOmnivore: He'd have to be, to eat [[LethalChef his mom's]] cooking. |
| 68 | * MadeOfIron: Supposedly, he's "really tough" even by Gaian standards. The fact that he can stomach his Mom's cooking is more evidence of that. |
| 69 | * TheStoic: His avatar, [=zOMG=]-wise, doesn't really show emotions |
| 70 | * SupremeChef: implicitly. Rina's shop dialogue cites him as the reason she can sell food and not just flowers. Though given some of the food options available in Rina's store, he could also be a LethalChef. |
| 71 | * WordOfGod: '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Not. Rina's. Brother.]]''' |
| 72 | |
| 73 | !Mirai: |
| 74 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_0_mirai.png]] |
| 75 | Owner of Phin-Phang, the cash-only aquarium store. |
| 76 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 77 | * GratuitousJapanese: Her parents are named "Logan" and "Agatha." So what's up with the Japanese name? |
| 78 | * OddNameOut: Along side her parents, with decidedly English/Western names. |
| 79 | * TheRival: downplayed to Vanessa. It's teased in their shop dialogue that Vanessa is jealous of Mirai's hair. |

| 81 | !Rina |
| 82 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_0_rina_24bit.png]] |
| 83 | Owner of Barton Flowershoppe, now revamped into the Buttercup Café. |
| 84 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 85 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Even though her relationship to Leon [[http://web.archive.org/web/20030608082436/http://www.go-gaia.com/forum/character.php never actually existed]] as such. |

| 90 | ** As Franchise/SailorMoon in 2012 |
| 91 | * InnocentFlowerGirl: Parodied, then averted. She's a GenkiGirl, a YaoiFangirl, a bully, and a LethalChef. And she supported ''[[ObviouslyEvil Sin]]'' in Halloween 2009. |
| 92 | * ItemCrafting: Makes bouquets from flowers you picked in Gaia Towns. |
| 93 | * LethalChef: The "[[http://www.gaiaonline.com/journal/journal.php?mode=view&post_id=31924333&u=4537 special cupcakes]]" she sells have ''flowers'' in them[[note]]While there are edible species of flowers, the ones she used ''aren't''.[[/note]] and make people sick, and she's also made such things as a "chocolate-rhubarb-sausage pie." |
| 94 | * SheIsAllGrownUp: She used to just be a cute and energetic little girl. The above, right, is her now, complete with quite a ladylike expression, too. |
| 95 | * YaoiFangirl: According to a few comics |
| 96 | * YuriFan: She wanted a "sexy succubus" and shipped several girl-girl pairings during the Ships Happen Chance Item, ''including Kanoko and herself''. |
| 97 | |
| 98 | !Rufus |
| 99 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_0_rufus_24bit.png]] |
| 100 | Ian's talking cat. He apparently comes from a "[[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum long line of talking cats]]" and help Ian run the store. |
| 101 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 102 | * CuteKitten |
| 103 | * HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: A minor plot point in ''zOMG!'' He has a pair of pants he can wear, because they don't have a zipper, so there's a place for his tail. |
| 104 | * NonHumanSidekick: To Ian, with whom he runs the shop with. |
| 105 | * TalkingAnimal There aren't a lot of talking animals, much less cats, in Gaia's lore but he is a talking cat that wears clothes. |
| 106 | [[/folder]] |

| 158 | Runs [[DoubleEntendre Sam's Body & Parts]], the automotive shop. |
| 159 | !!Associated Tropes: |

| 162 | * HiddenDepths: The updated rerelease of ''Frontier Skies'' reveals her to know a fair bit about wilderness survival, handwaved as an interest in do-it-yourself stuff. |
| 163 | * MsFanservice: An update to the garages featured changed art of her looking all dishevelled and dirty. Prior to that, she wore a jumpsuit [[NavelDeepNeckline open to her waist]] (though she wore something of a crop top underneath). |
| 164 | * {{Tsundere}}: Towards Liam, but now that they've hooked up. it doesn't seem to show as much anymore. |

| 171 | [[caption-width-right:210:Do you meditate? Last year, I got stuck under my bathroom sink and spent six weeks in a state of total consciousness.]] |
| 172 | Helps Natasha run Skin Tyte. Has the hots for Lance. |
| 173 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 174 | * CampGay: Ever since he put on that pink shirt, he's become this more so.. |
| 175 | * GentleGiant: Yes, he's tattooed, muscled, and has ping-pong ball horns. But he's harmless. |
| 176 | * GranolaGirl: He's what's known as an ultra-vegan; he'll only eat plants if they died a natural death without human interference (how that works is anyone's guess). However, he'll make an exception for chicken pot pies ("Pie Hard"). |
| 177 | * HalloweenCosplay: As an Oni in 2010. |
| 178 | * ItemCrafting: Mixes inks for you if you want an unusual color. |
| 179 | * PetHomosexual: Plays this role, somewhat, to Natasha |

| 191 | * HappilyMarried: To Vanessa, as we find out. |
| 192 | --->'''Vanessa''': "Edmund's so amazing... After Violet was born he took time off work to stay at home with her, even after he'd been away from his shop for so long." |
| 193 | * MrFanservice: Yes. Believe it or not, with all the bishies running around, Edmund has one of the bigger fangirl followings on Gaia. |
| 194 | * MayDecemberRomance: Edmund is old enough that he knew Old Man Logan when he was Young Man Logan, but is married to Vanessa, who hangs out with teenagers and doesn't look a day over twenty-five. |
| 195 | * PutOnABus: For a little while, he was absent from his shop. According to the Vanessa's dialogue, he was looking after Violet at home. |

| 197 | !Moira |

| 203 | * HalloweenCosplay: Typically as [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan Aensland]]. Rumor has it she was one of Gaia's first Halloween cosplayers in 2004 as [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]]. In 2010, she cosplayed as [[Franchise/GhostInTheShell Mokoto Kusangi]]. As of 2011, [[Videogame/{{Portal}} Chell]]. |
| 204 | * ItemCrafting: Makes colored ink from the bugs you caught in Gaia Towns. |
| 205 | * PerkyGoth: Though she teeters more on punk. |
| 206 | * {{Tsundere}}: Apparently towards Louie. |
| 207 | |
| 208 | !Natasha |
| 209 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_0_natasha_24bit.png]] |

| 223 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy |
| 224 | |
| 225 | !Vanessa |
| 226 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_0_vanessa_24bit_2017.png]] |
| 227 | Owner of Salon Durem. |
| 228 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 229 | * ChattyHairdresser: Some of her dialogue when interacted with. |
| 230 | * GreenEyedMonster: She's hinted to be jealous of Mirai's [[SeriousBusiness hair]]. |
| 231 | * HalloweenCosplay: As Creator/{{Elvira|Mistress Of The Dark}}. In 2010, she cosplayed as Dr. Girlfriend/Dr. Mrs. the Monarch from ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers''. |
| 232 | ** She's ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} in 2012 |
| 233 | * LongestPregnancyEver: Implied, considering that Violet debuted after the Airship Saga (which was about 2013-about 2017). However, unlike most examples, we haven't ''seen'' her pregnant |
| 234 | |
| 235 | !Violet |
| 236 | [[quoteright:101:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_0_edmund_24bit_2017.png]] |
| 237 | The baby daughter of Edmund and Vanessa |
| 238 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 239 | * BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: After the event with Nyx followed by months of storyline drought; the discovery of Violet was a delight to the community. Adding to this, with Rina and, then, Peyo growing up, the baby is one of few child [=NPCs=]. There's also the fact that Edmund seems to be smiling more. |
| 240 | * DaddysGirl: As we can see. |
| 241 | * CutenessProximity: She's adorable |
| 242 | * ElegantGothicLolita: Her outfit invokes something with this |
| 243 | * FamilyThemeNaming: Her name being Violet, matching with mother's name, Vanessa |
| 244 | * GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Is shown with a cat plushie, |
| 245 | * HalloweenCosplay: She was dressed-up as [[PokemonSunAndMoon Mimikyu]] for October 2017. |
| 246 | * LikeFatherLikeSon: She wears purple, like her mother |
| 247 | * LivingProp: In some sense because she's a baby, who can't walk or talk, yet, so the Gaians can't talk to her directly when they interact with Edmund's shop. |
| 248 | * RavenHairIvorySkin: Though her hair is more of a purple |

| 252 | !Becky |
| 253 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_0_becky_24bit.png]] |
| 254 | Manages Prize & Joy, where tickets won in the Gold Mountain casino can be redeemed for prizes. |
| 255 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 256 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Russell Ace specifically bribes you not to tell Becky he lost to you at Blackjack, although it could just mean he has a crush on her. |
| 257 | * BlackComedyRape: Implied. Becky's fear of costume events stems from the attentions of a stallion while she was in the back of a horse costume. |
| 258 | * HalloweenCosplay: Prior to 2010, she didn't dress up for holidays, citing a fear of costumes. In more recent years, she seems to have overcome this, as she went as Music/LadyGaga in 2010. |
| 259 | ** She was Panty from Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt in 2011. |
| 260 | ** And Saber from Literature/FateZero in 2012 |
| 261 | |
| 262 | !Johnny K. Gambino |
| 263 | Owner of Isle de Gambino and G-Corp. Father of Gino Gambino. |
| 264 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 265 | * AllThereInTheManual: When he first opened the Bank of Gambino, he offered promotional no fault loans for its first month. Most of the original shopkeepers got their start this way. |
| 266 | * BigOlEyebrows: He has the most obvious and largest of the cast. |
| 267 | * BumblingDad: He's a brilliant man who can play the stock market like nobody's business, but he cannot for the life of him remember to keep an eye on his only son and future heir, even after said son has already been kidnapped by vampires twice, jumped headfirst off a collapsing skyscraper, and kersploded with enough force to attract the attention of aliens from halfway across the galaxy and [[spoiler:tear a hole in reality]]. This trope is actually a ''step up'', as he's been rather abusive/neglectful of Gino otherwise. |
| 268 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Goes without saying too much since his company is the reason why the [[spoiler: 2k4 Halloween event happened]]. |
| 269 | * DivineParentage: Presumably the source of Gino's divine blood, unless [[EpilepticTrees Kuro's about to send assassins for Ian and Louie]]. |
| 270 | * EvilLaugh: Somewhat justified, since he originally was a BigBad. He's since mellowed somewhat, but is still prone to cutting loose if he's coming up with "a scheme". |
| 271 | * EvilutionaryBiologist |
| 272 | * HalloweenCosplay: Himself with a severed head. |
| 273 | * InexplicablyAwesome: And probably where Gino gets his WeirdnessMagnet. |
| 274 | * KilledOffForReal: There was even a funeral held for him by the Staff, complete with dramatic sobbing. His profile and avatar have been changed to be a memorial, and the GCD is still a little bit in denial. The denial's well-founded. He'd acquired an interactive role, walking new members through the process of adding others to their friends list, giving out items, and even performed the Anniversary 2010 announcement. |
| 275 | * LargeAndInCharge: How big he is varies but one thing is for certain and it's that he's bigger than most of the cast. |
| 276 | * LargeHam |
| 277 | * MadScientist |
| 278 | * MysteriousMiddleInitial: For the longest time, nobody knew what the K stood for. WordOfGod stated that "the world is not ready to know", [[ShrugOfGod which was assumed to be admin code for "we never actually thought about it"]]. Eventually one of the founders came back for a visit and held an impromptu Q&A, where he revealed it to be [[spoiler:Kage]]. |
| 279 | * OrphanedReference: His birthday was originally stated to be May 15, 1962. |
| 280 | * ProperlyParanoid |
| 281 | * SacrificialLion |
| 282 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Oh, the shenanigans he's gotten into over the years. Interestingly enough, he began life penniless and made his fortune gambling. |
| 283 | * ScrewTheRulesIHavePlot |
| 284 | * SelfMadeMan: Twice. First with ventures like G-Corp and the Isle of Gambino, and again with the energy drink Red Bino. [[spoiler:Being descended from the Titan of Ambition helped somewhat.]] |
| 285 | * ShirtlessScene: Following his [[FusionDance separation from Gino]]. |
| 286 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Caviar and nachos. |
| 287 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity |
| 288 | |
| 289 | !Gino Gambino |
| 290 | Son ([[DudeLooksLikeALady sometimes mistaken for daughter]]) of Johnny K. Gambino. Has ''zero'' talent with women. |
| 291 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 292 | * AlliterativeName: '''Gino''' '''G'''ambino |
| 293 | * BarbieDollAnatomy: In the manga |
| 294 | * BigOlEyebrows: Like his father. This also lead to the "Twinkie Brows" meme. |
| 295 | * ButtMonkey: Anything happens to this guy. He's lost his memory, has no talent with women, has disappeared three times, has his house burned three times, was infected by the G-virus, was made fun of constantly by the people in his boarding school and then got possessed by a clam. Two of the three aforementioned disappearances involved being kidnapped by vampires. |
| 296 | * DistressedDude: All the time. |
| 297 | * DivineParentage: It's revealed by Meili that he's the last descendant of a Titan. |
| 298 | * DudeLooksLikeALady: Lampshaded by his doll. |
| 299 | * FusionDance: With his father. |
| 300 | * LoveMakesYouEvil / DrivenByEnvy: Towards the end of the Masque arc, Gino became violently jealous over Sasha's relationship with Ian. This led to the confrontation that ended in the explosive end of the [[FusionDance fusion effect]]. |
| 301 | * MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: Yeah, he's male, but he still fits pretty well. |
| 302 | * NakedPeopleAreFunny: [[BestKnownForTheFanservice Everybody remembers the Overseer possession.]] Less well-remembered is his lack of pants at the end of the fusion plot. |
| 303 | * OlderThanTheyLook: He's about college age (18-20sish)but you'd think he was younger from his looks. |
| 304 | * PlotRelevantAgeUp: After a FusionDance, he was aged up from 16 to 19-ish so he could go and woo Sasha. Gino and Johnny ''separated'' later, putting him back at his original age. |
| 305 | * TookALevelInBadass: During the Masque arc, when he became a masked superhero due to the [[FusionDance fusion]] with his father. |
| 306 | ** Gradually took another level (or recovered from BadassDecay) during the Airship Saga. |
| 307 | * VagueAge: Gino's profile originally listed his date of birth as May 13, 1988. He's actually in his early twenties, making him college age. After profile format changed, things like date of birth were not visible to general public on the default setting. Most NPC profiles haven't changed the default settings so many forget Gino's age and base it on appearance. It's not that he's not aging, [[ComicBookTime just that the artists are slow on updating his design]] (supposing he doesn't age slower). |
| 308 | %% * WeirdnessMagnet: Even by Gaia standards. |
| 309 | |
| 310 | !Lex |
| 311 | Works at Gold Mountain. Impersonates Elvis occasionally. |
| 312 | !!Associated Tropes: |

| 317 | Works at Gold Mountain as the second dealer you face in Blackjack. |
| 318 | ---- |
| 319 | * CallingYourAttacks: Blackjack cheats. Jinx's is "Fresh Start", which allows her to discard her present hand and draw a new one. |
| 320 | * {{Tsundere}}: Implied in the dating sim scenario of the Lexbox, where she's turning away from Lex with a pout. |
| 321 | |
| 322 | !Russel Aace |
| 323 | Works at Gold Mountain as the first dealer you face in Blackjack. |
| 324 | !!Associated Tropes: |

| 326 | * GayOption: In the Lexbox's dating sim stage. |
| 327 | * KissOfLife: In the Lexbox's Game Over screen. Lampshaded by Becky as incorrect treatment for a concussion. |
| 328 | * TakeThat: Aace was based on a member of the Gaia staff who was a bit of a {{Jerkass}}. |

| 332 | Owner of Gambino Outfitters, a shop specializing in beach and summer wear. Has swapped spit with Gino (and possibly his father, due to a FusionDance plotline). Also has dated Liam with the full knowledge of Gino and Ian having an interest in her. |
| 333 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 334 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: It's not made clear, though she's either an islander, has a tan, or is meant to be gangkuro. Given the lack of exaggerated makeup, it's safe to assume she's most likely one or both of the former two. |
| 335 | * TheDitz: [[EpilepticTrees Possibly]] of the GeniusDitz variety; she's apparently capable of giving hospital-quality medical care. |
| 336 | * FormerlyFat: According to the Summer 2k9 tie-in "Fitness Camp". |
| 337 | * HalloweenCosplay: As [[Film/TheRing Samara]]. In 2010, she wore a banana costume. |
| 338 | ** In 2011, she was Franchise/BlackRockShooter. In 2012, she was [[WesternAnimation/LegendOfKorra Korra]]. |
| 339 | * LoveInterest: For Ian, Liam, and Gino. |
| 340 | * ValleyGirl: In her shop dialog. Used to be more prominent than it is now, but it still shows up in [[Funny/GaiaOnline her poetry]]. |
| 341 | |
| 342 | !Ruby |
| 343 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_0_ruby_24bit.png]] |
| 344 | Owner of Ruby's Rack. |
| 345 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 346 | |
| 347 | * DoubleEntendre: "[[LampshadeHanging It refers to the clothing racks, smartass.]]" |
| 348 | * GlamorousSingleMother: Acts and looks the part, certainly, given that she's certainly not struggling. |
| 349 | * HalloweenCosplay: As, fittingly, ComicBook/PowerGirl in 2012 |
| 350 | %%* MaleGaze: Goes without saying but this is best emphasized in her above appearance. |
| 351 | * MyEyesAreUpHere: She wore an outfit that emphasized her cleavage and her updated appearance really looks like this. |
| 352 | * NavelDeepNeckline: Her more recent look has a plunging neckline. |

| 358 | [[caption-width-right:210:Since 2017]] |
| 359 | Ruby's son. Helps her run Ruby's Rack. |
| 360 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 361 | * AnimalMotifs: Ducks |
| 362 | * ADayInTheLimelight: The Animal Quackers RIG. |
| 363 | * DisappearedDad: We only see his mother, Ruby |
| 364 | * CaptainErsatz: Did you know that Peyo's the one who created [[Franchise/TheSmurfs those little blue and white-hat creatures]] in the forest? |
| 365 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: In Animal Quackers, he somehow gets into almost ''every'' enclosure at the zoo and gets along with all of the animals just fine. This is visibly lampshaded at least twice in the gorilla encounter. |
| 366 | * HalloweenCosplay: As Max from ''Film/WhereTheWildThingsAre'' in 2010. |
| 367 | ** He was also Finn the Human from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' in 2011. |
| 368 | * HeIsAllGrownUp: Starting to evoke this reaction out of Rina as he enters puberty. |
| 369 | * ItemCrafting: Makes paper crafts from pieces of trash you pick up in Gaia Towns. |

| 377 | * HalloweenCosplay: One of the original cosplayers as [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] in 2004. Later, she cosplayed as a genderbent {{Dracula}}. |
| 378 | * HotLibrarian: Well, bank teller technically, but she's got the look. |
| 379 | * OfficeLady: Looks and plays the part, mostly, being a bank teller. |
| 380 | * PluckyOfficeGirl: She mentions during Ian's trial that she graduated from college at the age of fifteen, proving that she has the intelligence and motivation to do greater things, but after all these years she's still just a half-forgotten bank teller. Additionally, one of her lines, back when she had NPC dialogue, stated that she'd developed Super Strength from hauling sacks of gold around. And let's not forget that during Prom '08, she was scripted to be the only one brave enough to dance with Bludeau. And a RIG has her going full Superhero for a while |
| 381 | |
| 382 | !Labtech X |
| 383 | Worked for G-Corp before, during, and after the ZombieApocalypse (both of them). Was apparently close friends with Labtech 123. |

| 386 | %%* GeniusBruiser |
| 387 | %%* LargeAndInCharge |

| 389 | * LetXBeTheUnknown: [[spoiler: In ''Grave Danger'', Labtech Rory revealed to X's fanthread that [[RuleOfEmpathy he enjoys celebrating his birthday with his coworkers]]. Or at least, he did when Rory was alive. When asked, Rory declined to "remind" the fanthread when X's birthday is.]] |

| 399 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: There was a huge setup for a climactic battle in the Halloween '07 plot... and then he got shot. |
| 400 | * {{Expy}}: Of ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'''s Dracula. To the point that for MMVII, they allegedly hired his voice actor from ''Symphony of the Night''. |
| 401 | * HellishPupils: Standard for Gaian vampires. |
| 402 | * HighClassGlass: Drinks from a wine glass |
| 403 | * InstantDeathBullet: Really, he got shot and it wasn't climatic either. Weird thing about that is that we don't know what kind of bullet they used. |
| 404 | * ManOfWealthAndTaste |
| 405 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His name Vladimir |
| 406 | |
| 407 | !Anna Corinne Von Helson & Marie Von Helson |

| 413 | * ClingyJealousGirl |
| 414 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Anna Corinne wears blue, while Marie wears red. So far, that's the about the only difference, with the exception of Marie's eyepatch and scar (after the skyscraper incident) |
| 415 | * DaddysLittleVillain |
| 416 | * EyepatchOfPower: Apparently just for looks; Marie flips it up in one of the manga updates, revealing that her eye is more or less normal underneath. |
| 417 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: After the aforementioned skyscraper incident, Marie has a ragged "evil" scar across her right eye, providing a more convenient way to tell them apart. |
| 418 | * HellishPupils: By virtue of them being vampires. |
| 419 | * IdenticalTwinIDTag: In their earlier incarnation, the way you could tell them apart were the colors they wore, in which case, Anna wore blue, while her sister, Marie, wore red. After the skyscraper incident, the latter has an eyepatch and scar. |
| 420 | * IDoNotDrinkWine: But they do [[SweetTooth eat pies]]. (competed in the Pie Hard pie-eating contest and were eliminated) |
| 421 | * KickTheDog: In ''[=zOMG!=]'', Anne can be seen picking on Marie for her scars. |
| 422 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: From their first appearance, they were very obviously based on the Hilton sisters. That aspect's been played down since then, though. |
| 423 | * RichBitch |
| 424 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney |
| 425 | * SpoiledBrat |
| 426 | * TwinThreesomeFantasy: And Liam ''still'' hit it and quit it. |

| 433 | * {{Dhampyr}}: His mother's human |
| 434 | * FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Just a vampire who operates a shop and interacts with you in [=zOMG!=] |
| 435 | * HalloweenCosplay: Wears a very [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Uryu Ishida]]-esque costume in 2010. In 2012, he's [[Manga/BlackButler Sebastian]]. For 2013, he's sporting a very fan-servicing [[Manga/{{One Piece}} Trafalgar Law]] ensemble. |
| 436 | * HellishPupils: Standard for vampires. Louie's a pretty nice guy, though, and his are subtle. |
| 437 | * ImplausibleHairColor: His father had dark auburn hair and his mother was a blonde but, for some reason, he has black hair, though, it's not mentioned if he dyes/dyed his hair like Ian does. |
| 438 | * IDoNotDrinkWine: But he does eat double-cheeseburgers (one of the possible events in "Frontier Skies" has him raiding your food supply), and he does eat pies (placed in the final six for the "Pie Hard" event). According to the comics associated with the latter, human-style food is digestible but unpleasant to vampires. |
| 439 | ** Incidentally, [[Fridge/GaiaOnline this helps explain]] the "[[VegetarianVampire soy-based blood substitute]]" incident in the unused storyline. |
| 440 | * TheWisePrince |
| 441 | * UpperClassTwit: A very zig-zagging case at times. |
| 442 | |

| 447 | * ColdSniper |
| 448 | * TheDragon |
| 449 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He dislikes being sicced on Gino by Don Kuro. Note that he didn't seem to have any such reservations while working for Von Helson. |
| 450 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: Classic evil scar. |
| 451 | * HellishPupils: It's a vampire thing. |
| 452 | * PsychoForHire |
| 453 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: Vampires have this whenever they're about to do something badass, otherwise their eyes are gray. Zhivago apparently has this effect going ''all the time''. |
| 454 | [[/folder]] |
| 455 | |
| 456 | [[folder:Kuro Gang]] |

| 463 | * MeaningfulName: Their gang is called after the color of their skin, "Kuro" being the Japanese name for "black" |
| 464 | |
| 465 | !Cordell Kuro |
| 466 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 467 | * ActionGirl |
| 468 | * AlliterativeName: Sounds wise, anyway |
| 469 | * {{Bifauxnen}}: She's female but has a boyish sort of look. |
| 470 | * CoolBigSis: To Don, in a sense |
| 471 | * Dhampyr: She is the product of her mother's affair with a vampire. |
| 472 | * TheDragon: Maybe. |
| 473 | * HereditaryCurse:However, [[spoiler: due to her half-vampire blood]], she doesn't suffer from it as much. |
| 474 | * KlingonPromotion: Ultimately how she becomes the new Don. |
| 475 | * SamusIsAGirl: Or at least, "[[MemeticMutation not a bishie]]". |
| 476 | * TheStarscream: Technically becomes this, not to take power for herself, but to bring her brother to justice. |
| 477 | * YouAreWhatYouHate: She often shows disdain for vampires, despite being half-vampire herself. |
| 478 | |
| 479 | !Don Kuro |
| 480 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 481 | * DealWithTheDevil: He makes one with Nyx in order to revive his clan. |
| 482 | * DemonicPossession: Courtesy of Nyx. |
| 483 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He's called "Don" (as in "mafia don") but his real name is "Luca" |
| 484 | * EvilGenius |
| 485 | * HereditaryCurse: Because he is the family heir, he suffered the most from it, being sickly and having his growth stunted in childhood forever. |
| 486 | * KilledOffForReal: Following Nyx's resealment, Cordell [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice puts him out of his misery.]] |
| 487 | * NoFourthWall: One minigame had him attend an anime convention, find naughty doujinshi of himself and Devin, and tell the audience, "[[ShipSinking This isn't canon.]]" |
| 488 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain |
| 489 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Looks like a 5-year-old, but is actually 800. |
| 490 | * WeHaveReserves: Treats the vampires under his employ this way. It predictably comes back to bite him. |
| 491 | [[/folder]] |

| 493 | [[folder:Holiday Characters & Gods]] |
| 494 | !Jack |
| 495 | The pumpkin-headed AnthropomorphicPersonification of Halloween. |
| 496 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 497 | * Depower: Does this to the Overseer and Sentinel at the conclusion of the Halloween 2k8 event. [[spoiler:Later revealed he has no such powers himself, but did so under orders from Gaia herself. Not that it stopped him from playing himself up.]] |

| 500 | * {{Jerkass}} |

| 506 | * CyberneticsEatYourSoul: A likely consequence of the injury he sustained from Jack when they were young. |
| 507 | * GroupOfBullies: He and a few other holiday spirits used to bully a young Santa when they were young. That came to an end when Jack came to his defense and clocked the Easter Bunny so hard, when he hit the ground, the impact fractured his skull and permanently disfigured his face. |
| 508 | * FluffyTheTerrible: The Easter Bunny has a habit of handing out "eggs" that are actually timebombs. |
| 509 | * RobotMe |
| 510 | |
| 511 | !Santa |
| 512 | The kindly old elf himself! |
| 513 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 514 | * FreakyFridayFlip: Got switched with a cow - while investigating a routine cow abduction by the Zurg, he unintentionally got caught in the beam, leading to him and the cow accidentally being lifted into a powerline. The surge of electricity, combined with whatever the beam runs on, somehow triggers the mind swap. |
| 515 | * MobileSuitHuman: Christmas elves are kinda small. When out and about among humans, Santa's been known to use a Santa-shaped mobile suit. |
| 516 | * SantaClaus |
| 517 | * TooDumbToLive: He spent the week leading up to Christmas 2k10 doing things like [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace staring down the barrel of a shotgun while cleaning it with a kitchen scrub brush]] and skidding along a freshly-waxed floor with his socks on in a room full of swords. |
| 518 | |
| 519 | !The Overseer |
| 520 | A demi-god of old transformed into a clam. Until Demonbusters, he was found in your aquarium. Took over Gino's body during the Demonbusters event; turned into a mortal human by Jack after the event. |
| 521 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 522 | * CloudCuckoolander: Spending a millennia as a clam might justify him being out of touch with some things, but when the one who spent it in a box is more street-smart than him... |
| 523 | * DemonicPossession: Subverted, as the possessor in this case is the good guy. |
| 524 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[StatusQuoIsGod Thanks, Jack!]] |
| 525 | * GoofyPrintUnderwear: He got 'em (with little fish prints all over.) When he feels like wearing clothes, that is. |

| 527 | * LargeHam: FEELS GOOD, MAN! |
| 528 | * MeaningfulRename: Gaia rechristiens him as Marius, [[GiverOfLameNames albeit "Clifford" was her first choice.]] |

| 554 | * {{Guyliner}} |
| 555 | * HandwrapsOfAwesome: They ''seem'' to be bandages, anyways. |
| 556 | * HellishPupils: His irises seem to be slitted (none of the pages gives you a good look at his eyes anyways), but (if true) subverted in that he's actually quite nice... to Gino, at least. |
| 557 | * HeroicSacrifice: Battles Zhivago to buy time for Gino to escape. Possibly subverted, as Meili was also one of Zhivago's targets. |
| 558 | * PrettyBoy |

| 560 | * SacrificialLion |

| 574 | [[quoteright:149:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flynn_shop.gif]] |
| 575 | Former runner of the Cash Shop |
| 576 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 577 | * TheBeard: Went to a prom event as Devin's date, even though it was known at the time that Devin doesn't swing that way. This, along with her choice of a tuxedo rather than a dress for the event, fueled speculation that Flynn was a lesbian. |
| 578 | * PutOnABus: To space, then the Neon Core RIG rolled around and showed that she TookALevelInBadass. |
| 579 | * SpacePirate: She's become quite a successful one, as seen in the Neon Core RIG. |
| 580 | |
| 581 | !Lance |
| 582 | Former Cash Shop's delivery guy |
| 583 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 584 | * AmbiguouslyGay: He was a dance partner to Devin for the prom |
| 585 | * MrFanservice |
| 586 | * InnocentInnuendo: Lampshaded when Devin has an explosive {{Nosebleed}} at Lance bringing him a big, hard package. |
| 587 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Lance is no longer the La Victoire deliveryman and has not been seen or referenced since vanishing from this position. |
| 588 | |
| 589 | !Dr. Singh |
| 590 | Hosts weekly Evolving Item reports. Apparently raised Timmy, though not very well. |
| 591 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 592 | * AbusiveParents: While it's unclear exactly what her relationship with Timmy is, she is his guardian and she put him barrel of G-Corp goo. |
| 593 | * EvilutionaryBiologist: She put Timmy in a barrel of G-corp goo and spent several weeks gleefully observing his mutations. |
| 594 | * {{Jerkass}}: "Quit whining about your possibly-infected stab wounds, already!" |
| 595 | * KarmaHoudini: Invoked. One of the options in a Timmy-related poll was to have him punish her for his mistreatment. People voted to make him an evolving item instead. |
| 596 | * WouldHurtAChild: Well, she did put Timmy in a barrel of toxic waste |
| 597 | |
| 598 | !Timmy |
| 599 | Dr. Singh's muchly-abused assistant. Used to be a cute kid. Was infected with pure evil once. Then he came down with megapuberty and got a PlotRelevantAgeUp. |
| 600 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 601 | * AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: He became an evolving item. |
| 602 | * BeardOfEvil: Part of his "T-Bone" persona. |
| 603 | * ButtMonkey. |
| 604 | * CreepyChild: Back when Timmy was infected with pure evil. |
| 605 | * EvilCostumeSwitch: "T-Bone" wore a suit. |
| 606 | * FanDisservice: His PlotRelevantAgeUp turned him into a gangly, awkward thing resembling Film/{{Borat}} rather than the MrFanservice that the EstrogenBrigade hoped he would be. |
| 607 | * {{Keet}} |
| 608 | * ManOfWealthAndTaste: While he was infected with pure evil and went by "T-Bone." |
| 609 | * ParentalIncest: Unintentional. The 2008 prom manga showed Timmy trying to build up the courage to ask Dr Singh to be his date for the prom, and his anger at being pipped to the post by Lance. It was revealed much later that Singh has actually raised Timmy from an early age, which might hint towards an unintentional gender-flipped Wife Husbandry by Singh. |
| 610 | * ThePollyanna: Until after his jailtime, Timmy would always immediately forgive Singh for anything bad she did to him as soon as the situation was resolved, refusing to believe it was her fault, and was optimistic throughout his mutations. He seems to have grown out of it now, though. |
| 611 | * {{Pornstache}}: After he hit "megapuberty" |
| 612 | |
| 613 | !The Orion Siblings |
| 614 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_cashshop_thetwins_210x300.png]] |
| 615 | A collection of [[AnthropomorphicPersonification starpeople]], consisting of Saiph (first appearing in the finale for the Fallen Wish EI,) his younger sister Hatsya (from the Lonely Star RIG,) and their older brother and sister Rigel and Mintaka (who currently run the Cash Shop). |
| 616 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 617 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of the stars in Orion (who actually exists as their father). |
| 618 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Rigel and Mintaka appeared as [=SDPlus=] dolls in the Perfect Tragedy RIG with their faces obscured, a month before their proper introduction. |
| 619 | * EverythingsBetterWithSparkles |
| 620 | * {{Expy}}: The comparisons between Rigel and Mintaka and [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Team Rocket]] didn't go unnoticed by users. |
| 621 | * SiblingRivalry: Saiph and Hatsya like it on Earth, but Rigel and Mintaka want none of that. Too bad for them, then, that Orion punishes them by exiling them to Gaia. |
| 622 | |
| 623 | !Cygnus and Jet |
| 624 | [[quoteright:196:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_cashshop_jetcygnus_210x300.png]] |
| 625 | The current shopkeeper of La Victoire |
| 626 | !! Associated Tropes |
| 627 | * {{Jerkass}}: Jet, to an extent, though his being an adorable kitten star kind of negates this. |
| 628 | --> "Please buy something nice so I can stop looking at such a poorly dressed person." |
| 629 | * TheVoiceless: Cygnus; Jet does all of the talking. |
| 630 | [[/folder]] |
| 631 | |
| 632 | [[folder:Promotional Characters]] |
| 633 | Here because Gaia is in it for MoneyDearBoy. |

| 637 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 638 | * ProductPlacement: Meant to promote ''The Hills'' |
| 639 | |
| 640 | !Jaws |
| 641 | A cute little sharkboy found in the special Venus Garden world. During the Demonbusters storyline, however, he took over for the Overseer in the aquariums while the latter was battling on the frontline. Is currently still there while the Overseer's fate is left uncertain. |
| 642 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 643 | * AscendedExtra |
| 644 | * MrFanservice |
| 645 | * UnscaledMerfolk: Of the shark variety (which, incidentally, is TruthInTelevision, as sharks don't really have scales). |
| 646 | |
| 647 | !Loyal |
| 648 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lb_shopowner.png]] |
| 649 | [[caption-width-right:300:Loyal]] |

| 653 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Monsieur Loyal is the French name for a circus ringmaster, which he is. |
| 654 | * GratuitousForeignLanguage: Almost never makes an annoucement without a French stock phrase or two. |
| 655 | * MeaningfulName: Zig-zagged: he runs a shop for Gaians who loyally log in for 75 days straight, but he is the one who set that criteria and can change it anytime he sees fit. |
| 656 | |
| 657 | !Murasaki |
| 658 | [[quoteright:197:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_0_murasaki_01_24bit.png]] |
| 659 | Runs Mecha Neko, a shop with anime-inspired clothing and gear. |
| 660 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 661 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She's a little weird. |
| 662 | * EyepatchOfPower: We don't really know but her running an anime-inspired shop would be invoking this. |
| 663 | * GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She has one called "Puli". |
| 664 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Admits "Murasaki" is just an alias. |
| 665 | * SplitPersonality: Half the time you'll see the Moe ShrinkingViolet Murasaki, the other half she'll be a bit more... [[SlasherSmile expressive]] |
| 666 | -->What do you mean I seem "nicer" sometimes? |
| 667 | [[/folder]] |
| 668 | |
| 669 | [[folder:G Corp Labtechs (Halloween 2k4)]] |
| 670 | A number of quirky personalities that were the focus of the plot during October 2004. Considered by many to be the most promising characters in the history of Gaia's storyline; sadly, they appear to have been KilledOffForReal. |
| 671 | !!General |
| 672 | * AllThereInTheManual: Their journal entries tell a lot of their storyline before they turned. |
| 673 | * NoNameGiven: None of the [=LabTechs=], other than Rory (who died before this) and Gene, have names. They're only called by their number. |
| 674 | ---- |
| 675 | !013 |
| 676 | Tried to escape after finding out some of G Corp's darker secrets, but was [[DeadlyEuphemism laid off]] by 247 as a security measure. |
| 677 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 678 | * CameBackWrong: He came back as a [[spoiler: zombie and infected one of his fellow labtechs,062]]. |
| 679 | * HeKnowsTooMuch: Why he was ''laid off''. [[spoiler: He found out the true nature of G-[=CORP=]'s experiments and couldn't continue in the company, so he tried to warn the other Gaians]]. |
| 680 | |
| 681 | !062 |
| 682 | Blackmailed Gambino for a better pension. |
| 683 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 684 | * PunchClockVillain: He's a pretty decent guy when he's not scheming. |
| 685 | * {{Retirony}}: He got zombified at his retirement party by [[spoiler: 013]]. |
| 686 | |
| 687 | !101 |
| 688 | Not the brightest crayon in the box. |
| 689 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 690 | * HeadPet: Grunny, during the [=H2K4=] event. |
| 691 | * {{Keet}} |
| 692 | * TooDumbToLive: Well, for one, he thought a grunny was a pet and, two, when he sees three of his fellow [=LabTechs=] unconscious, he thinks they're all sleeping and asks 247 if he can "nap", too. When things really started getting weird, he's not alarmed and, at the Halloween party, he tries to ''hug'' the zombified [=LabTechs=]. |
| 693 | |
| 694 | !123 |
| 695 | See [[spoiler:''zOMG!'' characters]]. |
| 696 | |
| 697 | !126 |
| 698 | Portrayed as relatively intelligent compared to some of his coworkers. Secretly married to 912. |
| 699 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 700 | * HappilyMarried: Presumably. The only problem seems to be the need to keep it secret in the workplace but they do engage in "cuddle time" a lot. |
| 701 | |
| 702 | !137 |
| 703 | Hardworking; eventually surpasses 247 in this trait. Tries to maintain a masculine image. Has a thing for 138. |
| 704 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 705 | * IWantToBeARealMan |
| 706 | * MenDontCry: At one point, he mentions having hidden insecurities that make him "feel like a shy, helpless little girl". |
| 707 | |
| 708 | !138 |
| 709 | A kleptomaniac, possibly without knowing it. Has a crush on 137. |
| 710 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 711 | * StickyFingers: Being the resident kleptomaniac |
| 712 | * TheTalk: She received it from 912. |
| 713 | |
| 714 | !247 |
| 715 | Initially a workaholic whose first priority was loyalty to G Corp, but started breaking down when his memories began to return. |
| 716 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 717 | * GoneHorriblyWrong: [[spoiler: He created the G-Virus under the pretense that it was going to be a serum to increase workplace productivity but, instead, it turned people into zombies]]. |
| 718 | * IdentityAmnesia: Of a rather tragic variety. [[spoiler: He was made to forget everything that concerned "laying off" 013, so he could continue working at the G-Corp]] |
| 719 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: We also find out that he "laid off" 013 and he seemed genuinely upset about having to do it]]. |
| 720 | * ProfessorGuineaPig |
| 721 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath |
| 722 | |
| 723 | !722 |
| 724 | Gambling addict who became a human test subject (well, more so than the others) after losing a lot of Johnny K.'s money. |
| 725 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 726 | * TheGamblingAddict: Why he became a human test subject, as his gambling cost Johnny K a lot of money (over 9,000G). His journal entry mentioned something about betting on lab rats in a maze (his rat won). |
| 727 | * LostHimInACardGame: He ran out of money to pay his gambling debts, so he became a test subject. |
| 728 | * SanitySlippage: His is the most obvious of the other labtechs, as by the end of his journal, he's praising G-Corp, while earlier, he thought about working somewhere else. |
| 729 | |
| 730 | !909 |
| 731 | Not too much stands out about him. He is often asleep on the job. |
| 732 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 733 | * HeavySleeper: Verging in to the {{Sleepyhead}} trope, as he's often asleep |
| 734 | * MustHaveCaffeine: Not a particularly extreme example, but he does love his coffee. |
| 735 | |
| 736 | !912 |
| 737 | Works alongside her husband, 126. Said "work" consists mostly of cuddle time. |
| 738 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 739 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Her journal entries are in purple ink, probably to accentuate her somewhat girly nature. |
| 740 | %%* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition. |
| 741 | |
| 742 | !957 |
| 743 | Harbors countless conspiracy theories about G Corp; many of them are proven right as the plot unfolds. |
| 744 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 745 | * CrazySurvivalist: "...and most importantly: [[{{BFG}} MY BIG ASS]] [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter SHOTGUN]]!" |
| 746 | * ProperlyParanoid: As stated above, his conspiracy theories, which do get proven right. |

| 749 | [[folder:Grave Danger (Halloween 2k10) Characters]] |
| 750 | !General |
| 751 | * AllThereInTheManual: Some of these you don't fight in the game but instead interact with them in the forums |
| 752 | * AndIMustScream: All of the ghosts were trapped in their graves for varying amounts of time, thanks to [[MegaCorp Omnidrink]]. |
| 753 | * GhostlyGoals: To some degree or another, though this is invoked, as it's the ''living'' that wants them crossover, while ghosts themselves, are just here. |
| 754 | * JacobMarleyApparel: They appear in the clothes they either wore in life or died/buried in |
| 755 | * NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Some of the ghosts qualify for this, considering there's Bigfoot and an actual robot ghost. |
| 756 | * NoodleIncident: How some of them died (more specifically, Arturo, [=Tia/Tamara=], Kruelty, Riverwisp, Ricky, and Jay) exactly, besides it having something to do with the Omnidrink (Edith), OutWithABang (Arturo), and in one case, being the result of the MurderTheHypotenuse trope (Kruelty). In the rest of them, this trope is averted. |
| 757 | |
| 758 | !Abelard [=XII=] |
| 759 | The ghost of a mad king |
| 760 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 761 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: He used to be a kind and fair ruler before he contracted syphilis. |

| 771 | [[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5017395a1b316d9_flip.png]] |
| 772 | The guy from the Lusty Scoundrel collectible as a ghost. |
| 773 | !!Associated Tropes |
| 774 | * ChubbyChaser: Considering that he suffocated to death during "romantic entanglement", it wouldn't be much of a stretch to say he was either this or his partner had giant boobs (or both). |
| 775 | * {{Expy}}: He's your typical man-on-the-romance-novel-cover. |
| 776 | %%* GratuitousItalian |
| 777 | * OutWithABang: Implied to be how he died as he suffocated to death during a "romantic entanglement". |
| 778 | |
| 779 | !Bigfoot |
| 780 | [[quoteright:97:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/12fb41421b316bd_flip.png]] |
| 781 | A once beloved cryptid until his existence was confirmed by scientists. |
| 782 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 783 | * TheAlcoholic: He drank himself to death after being discovered (or, rather, confirmed) by scientists |
| 784 | %%* ManOfWealthAndTaste: His dialogue suggests this |
| 785 | |

| 787 | [[quoteright:120:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brainbox.png]] |
| 788 | The ghost of a dead robot that was once programmed to lift patients onto hospital beds |
| 789 | !!Associated Tropes |
| 790 | * CuriosityIsACrapshoot: He was the first robot programmed to feel curiosity. We see how well that ended it. |
| 791 | * HeKnowsTooMuch: He was shot to death while investigating the Gaia mafia |
| 792 | * TheUnintelligible: He often writes in numbers, rather than readable text. |
| 793 | |

| 807 | The ghost of a boy who appears to be about 5-7 years old. [[TruthInTelevision Died when his parents left him in the car on a hot day.]] |
| 808 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 809 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: His difficulty rating is Hard. |
| 810 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He wanted to be a ghost to playfully haunt the kids of the neighborhood. As we can see, he got his wish and, unlike most cases of the trope, he seems to be content. |
| 811 | * CursedWithAwesome: He isn't too worried about being unable to move on to the afterlife, since he's always wanted to be a ghost. Judging by the polls, users disagree. |
| 812 | * DeathOfAChild: He's the ghost of a child. |
| 813 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/{{Mother3}} Lucas]], according to some. |
| 814 | * ParentalNeglect: Somehow or another, his parents left in a car on a hot day, which lead to the obvious consequences |
| 815 | |
| 816 | !Constance Maplehart |

| 819 | !!Associated Tropes |
| 820 | * AmbiguousGender: Constance is referred to as "she," but she has a male (or androgynous) avatar. Perhaps she's an MTF...? |
| 821 | * BeeAfraid: How she died and her attacks involve this |
| 822 | * BeeBeeGun: One of her attacks is to sic bees on you. |
| 823 | * FurryReminder: Queen bees are very territorial and won't take kindly to anyone else trying to take over. As we see, Constance learned the hard way. |
| 824 | |
| 825 | !Danger Dan |
| 826 | A stunt performer who died in an accident. |
| 827 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 828 | * CompanionCube: Turns out the "Tallulah" he's looking for is a motorcycle he used in stunts. He's very happy to find 'her'. |
| 829 | * ICallItVera: His motorcycle is named "Tallulah" |

| 836 | * TheUnintelligible: His posts comprise not of actual words, but of ASCII illustrations of VideoGame/PacMan. |
| 837 | |
| 838 | !Edith Drink |
| 839 | Michael's wife and groundskeeper at the cemetery. She died due to one of Omnidrink's products. |
| 840 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 841 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney Dahlia Hawthorne]]. And much like Dahlia, her wispy self appears sweet and gentle... [[http://i51.tinypic.com/28247ro.jpg until you confront her.]] Brr... |
| 842 | * HappilyMarried: Her farewell forum implies that she and Micheal were this. |
| 843 | * TheLostLenore: To Micheal. Her being this is why he wanted her to ascend |
| 844 | |
| 845 | !Flagrante |

| 863 | |
| 864 | !Labtech Rory |
| 865 | The ghost of one of Gambino's labtechs and a coworker of the ones from 2004. Doesn't realize he's dead - in fact, he doesn't even believe in ghosts. |
| 866 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 867 | * FlatEarthAtheist: Somewhat justified, having died weeks before the first known "fantasy" race (the 2004 zombies) appeared. |
| 868 | * ForScience: Unsurprisingly. |
| 869 | * GhostlyGoals: He ain't aware that he's even dead and, after you defeat him, he says he's gonna be, quote, "searching for the truth". He's also not really aware that it ain't 2004 anymore. |
| 870 | * NothingIsScarier: They didn't say exactly how the magnesium killed him but, because we know that pure magnesium can be volatile, it definitely wasn't pretty. |
| 871 | * PetTheDog: When a "ghost hunter" pulled a gun on Chauncey, [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Rory stole the gun and chastised him for attempting to shoot a child]]. |
| 872 | ** When someone made a joke comparing the members of his fanthread (with which he had interacted) to an EstrogenBrigade, he became indignant and asserted the respectability of the users in question. [[note]]Some of them did have a tendency to act fangirly, but either he was too naive to pick up on it, or he cared enough to stand up for them anyway.[[/note]] |
| 873 | * ShownTheirWork: The mod who "puppeted" the character [[ContinuityNod had a very intensive knowledge of the old G Corp plot]]. |
| 874 | ** Indeed, he crashed the [[spoiler: Labtech X]] fanthread and contributed some interesting trivia. |
| 875 | * TooDumbToLive: Before he died, he would engage in "Period Table Roulette" with the other labtechs. As y'all can tell, he lost when he ate a piece of magnesium. |
| 876 | |

| 879 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 880 | * BattleaxeNurse: Well, she isn't a nurse but otherwise fits the trope. |
| 881 | * CompanionCube: Her tools. |
| 882 | * DepravedDentist: Subverted in her farewell thread. Possibly DoubleSubverted, as she starts petting her pliers. |
| 883 | * MadEye: One of her eyes is colored in, the other one is blank |
| 884 | * {{Sadist}}:Enjoys causing pain |
| 885 | |
| 886 | !Michael J. Drink |

| 1002 | * OurElvesAreDifferent: Blink and you miss it: when informed that Cresento and Nicolae have been assigned to the same task as he, [[spoiler: Zhivago]] refers to them as a human and an elf. Nicolae's pretty clearly human, so that makes Cresento the elf. |

| 1083 | * TheDreaded: Her cooking. |
| 1084 | * GrannyClassic: Acts and looks this trope |
| 1085 | * LethalChef: Let's just say "don't eat the cookies" and leave it at that. The fact that Leon eats her cooking is a testament to his invulnerability. |
| 1086 | * NiceGirl: She has a very sweet disposition, which can be seen when you interact with her, however, don't eat the cookies. |
| 1087 | * NeverMessWithGranny: She ''eats'' and ''enjoys'' her own cooking. |

| 1132 | |
| 1133 | !!Beat Box |
| 1134 | An [=NPC=] found near the Music Box in Barton |

| 1138 | !The Animated |
| 1139 | A class of beings that came to life after being infused with G'hi energy |
| 1140 | !!Associated Tropes |
| 1141 | * ActionBomb: The Cherry Fluffs, as, if you attack them, they blow up. They're a lot more trouble if you attack a group of them. |
| 1142 | * AnimateInanimateObject: What they are. Some sort of event with G'hi energy brought them to life. |
| 1143 | * UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents: The Papa, Mama, and Sister saws speak with something of a Southern inflection. |
| 1144 | * CreepyDoll: Katsumi's kokeshi doll, though, this is downplayed but her pale, almost ghostly appearance really stands out among the red and golden ones. |
| 1145 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: |
| 1146 | ** The Kokeshi dolls. Kat's Kokeshi Doll is colored black and white, regular Kokeshi dolls are red, and Collectible/Nexus dolls are gold |
| 1147 | ** Ghost Lantern Nexuses are red, unlike the usual blue. |
| 1148 | ** Water spouts are more a downplayed example, as the Sea Witch Protector looks like a normal water spout but she's lighter in color. Queen Lorelei would a straighter example as her face and upper bust are purple. |
| 1149 | * CombatHandFan: What the Kokeshi dolls use. See, "PaperFanOfDoom" below. |
| 1150 | * FamilyThemeNaming: Three sea spouts (Thelchtereia, Raidne, and Aglaope) are named after the sirens in Myth/GreekMythology, while Lorelei is named after a nixe. |
| 1151 | * HitodamaLight: What the ghost lanterns appear as before attacking [[http://zomg.wikia.com/wiki/Ghost_Lantern]] |
| 1152 | * TheHighQueen: Queen Lorelei |
| 1153 | * KillAllHumans: Well, it's actually "Kill All Naturals" but the point still stands. |
| 1154 | * KillerRabbit: Many of the Animated don't look threatening and, if you don't attack them (or vice versa), some of them ain't. |
| 1155 | * MamaBear: The Mama Saw |
| 1156 | -->'''Dialogue''' (when she spawns): "My babies! I'm coming, little cutters!" |
| 1157 | * {{Mayincatec}}: Some of the monsters encountered in the Otami Ruins/Cliffs invokes this, ie. the Mask of Death and Rebirth and the Feathered Coatl (which is more overt) |
| 1158 | * NoodleIncident: Exactly what lead to them being infused with G'hi energy isn't known but the intro/trailer for the game seems to imply it was meteor strike or something like a sudden burst of energy. |
| 1159 | * OffWithHisHead: When the kokeshi dolls are defeated, their heads fall off. |
| 1160 | * OneGenderRace: The kokeshi dolls, lawn gnomes, and the water spouts are two of the more obvious examples. It's unclear if the Outlaw Wolf is an example, however. |
| 1161 | * OurMermaidsAreDifferent: The water spouts are Animated made of water. However, while, they don't look like the usual portrayals of mermaids, they are weak without water and can't be fought too far away from water, either (though, getting them far enough away does help your chances in defeating them). |
| 1162 | * PaperFanOfDoom: The kokeshi dolls wield these that about twice their size. However, in their case, this is more literal, as the item description implies that there's a blade on those fans |
| 1163 | * TertiarySexualCharacteristics: The Mama (and Sister) saws wear bows, are pale colored, and have their rotating parts of their saws decorated to look like petals ([[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/zomg/images/a/a7/Mama_Saw.png/revision/latest?cb=20081107211930 see here]]) |
| 1164 | * TragicKeepsake: According to Katsumi's dialogue for a quest, the kokeshi doll was given to her by her passed-on parents |
| 1165 | * {{Tuckerization}}:Doubling as MeaningfulName, Gilroy is named after a town in California, which is known for most of everything garlic. |
| 1166 | * {{Yokai}}: Apparently, they're based off of the Tsukumogami yokai, however, this is more obvious with the ghost lanterns |
| 1167 | |
| 1168 | !Non-Animated |
| 1169 | Other enemies you can fight in zOMG! that aren't the Animated |
| 1170 | !!Predator Prairie Pups |

| 1182 | Aliens that invaded the [=P3=]'s planet |
| 1183 | !!!Associated tropes: |
| 1184 | * ActionBomb: Like the Cherry fluffs from the Zen Gardens, the deathroaches will explode. Like those fluffs, they tend to crowd in numbers if there are more them. |
| 1185 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The shockroaches are pinkish peach, the landstriders are neon green and black, the walker is tan, lightning bug is red and pink, and the deathroaches are a yellow and burnt red. |

| 1187 | * HiveMind: Implied, if their attacks are indication |
| 1188 | * TheMedic: The Lightning bug is this the aliens |

| 1196 | !!!Associated Tropes: |
| 1197 | * ThreateningShark: Even though there aren't any quests related to this monster, it has a boss level and, to add insult to injury, unless you have the enemy filter turned on, you can't tell when and where it will attack. |
| 1198 | |
| 1199 | !!G-Creatures |
| 1200 | Animals (besides grunnies) that were infected with the G-Virus |
| 1201 | !!!Associated Tropes |
| 1202 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The Grunny Commander Subs are tinted blue instead of green and the "Alpha Grams" (or "The Mumbler")have grayish fur |
| 1203 | * KillerRabbit: The gramsters are a rather subverted example, as they aren't really dangerous and can be beat pretty quickly. However, this would be played straight with the Grunny Subs |
| 1204 | * NoodleIncident: It's not said how the Gruckens and the Gramsters became infected with the G-Virus. Similarly, its not said how the Gramsters got to live in the sewers, however, we can assume they got flushed down there (like the Animated, Prelungers). |
| 1205 | * OneGenderRace: The gruckens tend to spawn as hens, with one rare event including roosters |
| 1206 | * {{Portmanteau}}: Their name is a combo of "G-Virus" and whatever animal they so happen to be. |
| 1207 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: They have red eyes. |

| 1210 | [[folder:Miscellaneous Characters]] |
| 1211 | !Cindy Donovinh |
| 1212 | [[quoteright:120:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_cindy.png]] |
| 1213 | Anchorwoman for Action 9 News. That 'bout it. |
| 1214 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 1215 | * FlatCharacter: Not a whole lot can be said about her besides that she's an anchorwoman. Hell, [=zOMG!=] gives her more dialogue than she gets otherwise. |
| 1216 | * NewscasterCameo: In the manga, she's shown to be interviewing people. |
| 1217 | |
| 1218 | !Logan |
| 1219 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_0_logan.png]] |
| 1220 | Runs the bait shop by Bass'ken Lake. Was involved with Agatha at some point. |
| 1221 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 1222 | * CoolOldGuy |
| 1223 | * {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, looks wise, anyway |
| 1224 | * DayInTheLimelight: The Poseidon's Legacy RIG. |
| 1225 | * ItemCrafting: Turns your caught fish into [[TheHilarityOfHats funny hats]]. |
| 1226 | |
| 1227 | |
| 1228 | !Ron Bruise |
| 1229 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 1230 | * BoldlyComing: In the "Whatever Happened to Ron Bruise?" 4koma, he's making movies for the Zurg. One involves a bed scene with a fuzzy purple lipstick-wearing creature, who looks quite satisfied. |
| 1231 | * ChurchOfHappyology: He's a part of a parody of this. |
| 1232 | * GoofyPrintUnderwear: Ron's heart-print boxers. |
| 1233 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Apparently, he's supposed to be a parody of Tom Cruise |
| 1234 | |
| 1235 | !Ivan |
| 1236 | Represents the Gaian Revenue Service and collects taxes. |
| 1237 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 1238 | * AscendedExtra: Proved quite popular as a RIG character, came back for the SOS event and then joined the manga cast properly in the Promageddon event. |
| 1239 | * ShipSinking: Ivan was revealed to be Meredith's cousin, and visibly [[{{Squick}} squicked]] at the thought of a [[KissingCousins romantic relationship with her]]. |
| 1240 | |
| 1241 | ![=Dernier*Cri=] Shop |
| 1242 | !!Brennivin |
| 1243 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_0_brennivin_24bit.png]] |
| 1244 | Owner of [=Dernier*Cri=], who gave up being a wizard for fashion. Is also the presumed owner of the Dark Reflection, as he appeared as the "Mysterious Man" in the RIG's GameOver scenario. |
| 1245 | !!!Associated Tropes: |
| 1246 | * AlwaysCamp: The fact that he's so fashion-obsessed, coupled with his [[PrettyBoy attractiveness]], has led way too many people to believe that he's gay or metrosexual. |
| 1247 | * CloudCuckoolander: A more downplayed, example |
| 1248 | * EarlyBirdCameo: See above. Oddly, the [=SDPlus=] dolls of him released in the Dark Reflection showed him in his current appearance well before it was revealed to the public, possibly invoking this trope even more. |
| 1249 | * {{Expy}}: Basically Christian Siriano in cartoon form. |
| 1250 | ** Which is hilarious, since the ''real'' Christian Siriano [[TheCameo showed up in Ian's shop at one point to advertise]]. |
| 1251 | * FantasyForbiddingFather: He had one, who didn't much care for his pursuits of fashion and neither did he care for Halloween, turning Brennivin into a set of silverware when he tried to trick-or-treat |
| 1252 | * FunnyForeigner |
| 1253 | * GratuitousForeignLanguage: He switches between English, Norse and German a lot. Of course, that's because he speaks a very different language. |
| 1254 | * HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: At one point he mentions that his father didn't approve of Halloween and once [[DisproportionateRetribution turned him into a set of silverware]] for trying to trick-or-treat. |
| 1255 | * HalloweenCosplay: As Creator/AndyWarhol, something a majority of the users didn't get at first glance. |
| 1256 | ** He was [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Gyro Zeppeli]] in 2010. |
| 1257 | ** He was Franchise/SherlockHolmes for Halloween 2011. |
| 1258 | * ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Rarely, if ever, does anything 'wizardy'. The last spell he cast was to find Gino, but ended up getting an email of his location first. |
| 1259 | ** Possibly justified, since he did give up wizardry to pursue his passion for fashion. Aside from the spells needed to create new stock, it makes sense for him to be out-of-touch. |
| 1260 | * YouNoTakeCandle: He's not well-versed in English, though he's slightly more eloquent in it than most examples (as can be read [[Funny/GaiaOnline here]]) |
| 1261 | |
| 1262 | !!Kanako |
| 1263 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_0_kanako.png]] |
| 1264 | [[caption-width-right:210:Her current appearance]] |
| 1265 | First introduced in the Midsummer Swirl RIG, Kanoko is an exchange student who just has no luck with keeping a job. Is currently employed as the shopkeeper of Rococo, but we'll see how long that lasts. |
| 1266 | !!!Associated Tropes: |
| 1267 | * CuteClumsyGirl: The plot of the Dark Reflection kickstarts with her ''tripping'' into it, after all. |
| 1268 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Like Brennivin, she and Radio Jack were designed for the luxury item shop, but introduced through [=RIGs=]. Not a lot of people realize this because of how much earlier Kanoko and Jack were introduced. |
| 1269 | * HalloweenCosplay: For [=H2K9=], she was all dolled up as fellow NPC Hatsya. Something of a MythologyGag, considering the two characters were both created by the same artist (Ethe). In 2010, she dressed up as [[Literature/HarryPotter Hermione Granger]]. In 2012, she's dressed as [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Homura]]. |
| 1270 | * LethalChef: Possibly, but since it's only Rina's cooking that gets tasted out of both their efforts, we can't say for sure. |
| 1271 | * NewJobAsThePlotDemands: Something of a RunningGag with her -- so far, she's been an ice cream vendor (fired by Ivan for forgetting to charge tax on her sales,) a star {{Mascot}} for a planetarium, and, as mentioned, Brennivin's assistant. It got so bad that she even tried to apply for a place in the Halloween event ''while she was still employed.'' |
| 1272 | |
| 1273 | !!Radio Jack |
| 1274 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/npc_0_radiojack_24bit.png]] |
| 1275 | [[caption-width-right:210:''Did I just hear you say "Jack's so cute"? Because, call me crazy, I thought I just heard, "Jack, please break my face."'']] |
| 1276 | Also introduced in the Midsummer Swirl, as an "avid proponent of summertime evil". However, that "evil" really only extends to being a snarky little critter. Is speculated to either be owned by (or even ''created'' by) Brennivin. |
| 1277 | !!!Associated Tropes: |
| 1278 | * DeadpanSnarker |
| 1279 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Like Brennivin, he and Kanoko were designed for the luxury item shop but introduced through [=RIGs=]. Not a lot of people realize this because of how much earlier they were introduced. |
| 1280 | * HalloweenCosplay: [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Radio Jack Sparrow]], anyone? He also did ''Easter'' cosplay as a Grunny in 2010. And when Halloween came around that year, he went as [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]]. |
| 1281 | ** In 2011 he was [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica QB]] and even said "Contract?" as a quote! |
| 1282 | * MixAndMatchCritters: Some sort of rabbity-bat-thing. Some have speculated that he may or may not be a cabbit, just more demonic-ish. |
| 1283 | * NonHumanSidekick: To Brennivin and Kanako |
| 1284 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: To some. His nephew Waidio, from the Luna's Incense RIG, is ''[[SerialEscalation even cuter]]''. |
| 1285 | * ShoutOut: Probably subtle but his name is a reference to the chain of stores "Radio Shack" |
| 1286 | * {{Tuckerization}}: Named after one of the developer's guinea pigs. |
| 1287 | |
| 1288 | !Diedrich |
| 1289 | A talkative little grunny who spoke with Radio Jack. He also owns a sextent and can guide an airship. |
| 1290 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 1291 | * BizarreAlienBiology: Even by grunny standards, as, apparently, from what can be inferred, grunnies don't really reproduce asexually but he does, after he gets fat. And [[ExplosiveBreeder he makes a lot of them]]. |
| 1292 | * BornLucky: Or at least, he's extremely lucky in the '10 Summer Event, having the highest starting loot and LuckStat. |
| 1293 | ** Though one of his events reveals that grunny's feet are actually ''unlucky''... |
| 1294 | * CovertPervert: This ''has'' to be the reason why he's the one giving out items related to Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt. |
| 1295 | -->"Did you know only 1 in 1200 Gaians wears underwear? I'm the expert. Since I'm short." |
| 1296 | * CuteLittleFangs: These are more clear when he opens his mouth. |
| 1297 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: Lanzer's cat eventually ate him. |
| 1298 | * ExplosiveBreeder / TrulySingleParent: Began asexually reproducing for the Easter 2012 event. |
| 1299 | * LittleKnownFacts: This is his entire shtick. He repeats [[BlatantLies "Did you know" trivia]] to anyone within earshot, followed by [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer "It's true!"]] |
| 1300 | * MeaningfulName: Possibly inverted. The timing of his appearance and the fact that his name can be separated into "died rich" led to many theories regarding some connection with Gambino. There's no other evidence for any of it. |
| 1301 | ** [[spoiler: The epilogue of the Airship Saga revealed he was a failed prototype Grunny that ingested the cremated ashes of Gambino, transforming him into the fact spouting Diedrich. Edmund suspects he might be the reincarnation of Gambino, but couldn't get any confirmation out of Diedrich himself.]] |
| 1302 | * NightmareFuelStationAttendant: He's got no problems with talking about horrible accidents, in a cheerful disposition no less |
| 1303 | * TalkingAnimal: Like Rufus and Radio Jack. |
| 1304 | * WhoWantsToLiveForever: During the Easter 2011 update, he gets bombed by the Easter Bunny, only to reveal that "Grunnies are [[MadeOfIron very hardy!]]" Then, [[MoodWhiplash he tearfully adds]], "''Maybe it is impossible to die...''" |
| 1305 | |
| 1306 | !Bruce Hardcastle |
| 1307 | A sports announcer introduced during the Rejected Olympics of '09. Choked on a potato and died before Halloween; brought back to life ''during'' Halloween by Jack, and re-killed afterward when Jack crammed a potato down his throat. Currently roaming around as an angry ghost. |
| 1308 | !!Associated Tropes: |
| 1309 | * BackFromTheDead: Twice; The Sentinel brought him back to life after he choked on a potato then Jack re-killed him after the 2k9 Halloween event; now he's come back as a ghost for the 2k10 event. |
| 1310 | * DeathAsComedy: His death from choking on the potato. |
| 1311 | * GhostlyGoals: Type B. |
| 1312 | * JacobMarleyApparel: He's wearing the same thing he wore when he choked on a potato. |
| 1313 | |
| 1314 | ! Grunnies |
| 1315 | Green rabbits that used to be regular lab rabbits until they were infected with the G-Virus. |
| 1316 | !! Associated Tropes |
| 1317 | * BackFromTheDead: The first grunny died during Lab Tech 247's experiment and, instead of being incinerated, it was given to Labtech 062, who gave it injection that revived it. It turns out that bunny was {{not quite dead}}. |
| 1318 | * FurryReminder: Virus-infected rabbits they may be, they're still rabbits and, according to a pose for their item, they pee on people when mad ([[http://nazr.in/1bcG something that pet rabbits sometimes do]]). |
| 1319 | * HeadPet: In item form, the Kindred grunnies can be equipped to your avatar's head. |
| 1320 | * KillerRabbit: Rather literally. The trailer/intro for ''[=zOMG!=]'' has them going right for the throat of some of their victims. Despite this, according to what happened after the 2004 Halloween event, some Gaians decided to keep them as pets. |
| 1321 | * {{Portmanteau}}: Their name is a combo of "G-Virus" and "bunny", also "green" and "bunny" |
| 1322 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: They have red eyes and, if trailer for ''[=zOMG!=]'' and the 2004 Halloween event are something to go by, are very aggressive. |
| 1323 | * ShoutOut: One of the grunny items is essentially [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]]. |
| 1324 | * ZombieInfectee: They spread the G-Virus, which turns people into zombies (as displayed in the 2k4 Halloween Event). ''How'' they do this isn't really nice to look at nor think about. |
