1!Blood Quill
2--> ''I rather like my ability to start pointless arguments, thank you very much!''
3
4The [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni]] of the duo, Quill is a brash and somewhat crazy earth pony author with mechanical wings, turning him into a 'semi-pegasus' of sorts. His mother was murdered during the Days of Discord, leading to him killing the murderer and running away from home. This is how he eventually met Filter.
5
6Quill tends to act as the leader of the duo and stands out a lot more; he has almost completely white eyes, bloodstained Discord-like twisted horns, and large mechanical wings. His special talent is writing, and his cutie mark is a quill dipped in blood. He is Mobius's [[AuthorAvatar ponysona]].
7
8* TheAce: Most of the time.
9* ArtificialLimbs: He has mechanical wings that he developed himself. A variation of the usual useage of the trope, as the wings aren't replacements.
10* AxeCrazy: Shows hints of this.
11* BerserkButton: A few; saying he technically isn't a pegasus, insulting his strange appearance, and bringing up his past murder are the ones we know of so far.
12* BloodKnight: Downplayed, but still there.
13* BloodSplatteredInnocents: His Discord-like horns are permanently bloodstained.
14* {{Bookworm}}: Surprsingly, yes; he ''did'' craft his own mechanical wings based on what he learned from the library, after all.
15** BadassBookworm
16* BreakTheCutie / CorruptTheCutie
17* BrilliantButLazy
18* CaptainObvious: "Hey. We need to sign this." Said to Filter, right after he himself already signed.
19* CharacterAlignment: ChaoticGood, or even ChaoticNeutral.
20* CloudCuckooLander
21* DarkAndTroubledPast
22* DeadpanSnarker
23* FromNobodyToNightmare: A non-evil example, thanks to the BreakTheCutie or CorruptTheCutie mentioned above.
24* GoodIsNotNice
25* {{Jerkass}}: Sometimes.
26** JerkWithAHeartOfGold
27* LargeHam
28* TheLeader: Arguably, at least between himself, Filter, and Ratchet.
29* MonochromaticEyes
30* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Filter's blue.
31** Also the red to Ratchet's blue.
32* TheRival: To Rainbow Dash.
33* ShipperOnDeck: Happily ships Filter and Pinkie. Currently debatable whether he actually believes in it, or is just using it as another way to troll Filter.
34* SophisticatedAsHell
35
36!Pop Filter
37--> ''I feel like I’m about to throw up, faint, do something stupid, or get killed...or all of the above.''
38
39The [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni]] of the duo, Filter is a shy yet snarky musical unicorn. His father disappeared before he was born, only to return almost two decades later to murder Filter's mother and himself, right in front of both Quill and Filter.
40
41Filter is much more normal-looking than Quill, having no real outstanding physical features. He is completely blind, however, and has to wear enchanted glasses to see. His special talents are music and protecting others, and his cutie mark is a shield on top of a microphone. He is [=RLYoshi's=] [[AuthorAvatar ponysona]].
42
43* BewareTheNiceOnes: As shy as he is, if he sees somepony putting themselves down, he'll practically shove a RousingSpeech down their throat.
44** And don't doubt his fighting skills either; he manages to knock out a manticore using two apples and a shield spell.
45* BlindWithoutEm: Literally, as he lost his sight during the Days of Discord and the glasses are enchanted to restore his vision.
46* BreakTheCutie
47* ButtMonkey: His rough past aside, Quill doesn't always treat him with a lot of respect.
48* CharacterAlignment: NeutralGood, possibly ChaoticGood.
49* CharacterDevelopment: In his backstory, he's rather snarky, even around ponies he just met. However, a sequence of bad events leads to him becoming much more shy.
50* ChasteHero: He doesn't seem to realize - or believe, at least - that Pinkie Pie has a crush on him, like Quill insists.
51* CowardlyLion
52* {{Dandere}}
53* DarkAndTroubledPast
54* DeadpanSnarker
55* {{Determinator}}
56* TheDragalong: When Quill accepts a job from the mayor as a mercenary, he pulls Filter along with him, much to Filter's annoyance.
57* EmbarrassingNickname: "Poppy", given to him by Pinkie Pie.
58* [[SheCleansUpNicely He Cleans Up Nicely]]: If Rarity's reaction is any indication, he definitely looks good in a suit.
59* MoodSwinger: Goes from cheerfully joking with Quill to being as quiet as possible and avoiding eye contact while in the Town Hall.
60* NervousWreck
61* OnlySaneMan: He was more of a StraightMan when it was just him and [[GoodIsNotNice Quill]], but now that [[HairTriggerTemper Ratchet]] has joined the story, he fits this role much better.
62* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Quill's red.
63** Also blue to Ratchet's red.
64* ShrinkingViolet
65* TranquilFury: In contrast to Quill, who gets very vocal when he's mad, Filter just gets quiet and tells whoever's annoying him to stop.
66
67!Ratchet
68
69A talking, pony-sized, female manticore that Quill and Filter meet in the Everfree Forest; while they were originally sent there to kill her, they decided against it, and took her into their home.
70
71* BigEater
72* DefeatMeansFriendship: Kind of. She befriended Quill and Filter not because they knocked her out, but because they took the time to help her ''after'' knocking her out.
73* HairTriggerTemper
74* HeelFaceTurn: Though she was never really evil to begin with.
75* NoodleIncident: When asked how she can talk, she just says it's a long story.
76* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Filter's blue. Blue to Quill's red.
