'''Beware of unmarked spoilers'''

!Main Characters

'''Cole "Charlie" Nero'''
* AfraidOfNeedles: He once fainted at the sight of a needle. Apparently a rare trait for Pokemon.
* {{Animorphism}}: Was turned into a Charmander just before the comic starts. This is the main drive of the plot.
* BerserkButton: Most things relating to his dad seem to really set him off.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: He could have avoided a lot of trouble in a haunted cave if he didn't feel the need to attack the resident dictator.
* DeadpanSnarker: Many of his reactions are cynical or outright bitter.
* DoubleConsciousness: Has shades of SplitPersonality but this seems to be the more conscious conflict he's having.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Despite being a fire-breathing lizard now, he still seems to prefer fighting with his fists.
* LikeADuckTakesToWater: Seems to be developing skills in his new form rather quickly. See below.
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Every now and then his Charmander side takes over.
* SirSwearsalot: Has a colorful vocabulary especially when upset. The author usually censors it with SymbolSwearing but has been dropping it recently
* SplitPersonality: Wild Charlie, as the author refers to him, appears to have a completely different attitude than Cole.

'''Bud'''
%%* KidSidekick
* {{Determinator}}: His battle with Kraker was seriously out matched, but he pushed on regardless.

'''Kraker'''
* BigEgoHiddenDepths
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Showing a lot of signs that he feels inadequate with himself and projects it on to others.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kraker practically embodies this trope. His entry on the character page sums it up succinctly: "If not for his utter loyalty to his friends and deep sense of justice, he might be considered a down right jacka$&."
* BerserkButton: Chapter 9 and 10 seems to point toward evolution or his [[AloofBigBrother brother]] as being huge triggers.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 10, "Over the Moon" focuses a lot on Kraker and his motivations for wanting a thunderstone.

'''Dante'''
* ActionGirl: The only female Pokemon in Brian's team, and also the quickest one to jump into battle and go all out. Her aggressiveness is second only to Kraker (who's not technically one of Brian's Pokemon.)
* BadWithTheBone: As a cubone, Dante prefers to hold on to a bone club.
* BrattyHalfPint
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Briefly alluded to in Chapter 9, "Psychosafari".
* GenderBlenderName: Brian named her "Dante" for her mysterious, cool aura, not realizing that the freshly caught Cubone was actually female. Dante doesn't mind; She loves her name, even if she can't stand being mistaken for a boy.
* IOweYouMyLife: Part of Dante's motivation for sticking around Cole.
* SamusIsAGirl: For the longest time, nobody, not even Dante's closest friends realized that she was a female Cubone, rather than a male one. When she found out, she was understandably angered.

''' Maoh '''
* TheAgeless
* BilingualBonus: His name means "Demon King" in Japanese.
* KillerRabbit: Maoh, a Mew who is all too happy to engage in Mind Rape.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Being cursed with immortality left him bored out of his mind after a few lifetimes.

'''Aodan''' [[spoiler:"Danny"]]
* AccentAdaptation: He has a distinct southern accent despite being a pokemon.
* EccentricMentor
* OldMaster
* ParentalSubstitute: To Cole [[spoiler:even when he was a human baby]]
* RetiredBadass
* MysteriousProtector: Has a tendancy to appear in the unlikliest of situations.

%%TODO: Flesh these characters out... But for now, at least we have as many full names as possible, which helps a lot.

'''Brian Wheaton'''

Cole's negligent dad.
* ParentalNeglect: His ignorance of Cole, to the point of mistaking his age, is what starts the chain of events of the story.

'''Ivaline "Eva" Wheaton'''

Brian's mom, ex gym leader of Marquee.
