[[folder:The Outcasts]] [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Outcasts_Profile_Streamlined2_2015.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Argus, Aria, Davos, and Sasha.]]

The [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits Outcasts]] are the main protagonists of The Descended, lead by their founder, Argus. All of them are fairly powerful for their levels, making them a force to be reckoned with as they go saving (or destroying) the land. They're not exactly what one would expect from a "hero", having that status simply because they are the [[DesignatedHero main focus]] of The Descended.

Despite their many flaws and lack of traditional heroic qualities, however, they are basically average adventurers who just so happen to have had bad lives. In the end, even though they all are unique in their traits, skills, powers, and backstories, they share a common interest:

Unwilling and incapable of settling down, they live for adventure, all with the [[TheQuest ultimate goal]] of becoming the most powerful person they possibly can be...that is, if they can survive.

!!Argus
[[quoteright:194:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Argus_Again_3418.png]]

--> ''"Hey, it's not'' '''my''' ''fault I was Nerfed on the verge of [[AGodAmI Omnipotence]]!"''

Argus, a Master Joat, the founder and team leader of The Outcasts. Despite controlling all the elements and classes, he has a strong affinity to [[ShockAndAwe lightning magic]] because his original class was Storm Mage. He is a rather [[OlderThanTheyLook experienced]] adventurer, having been around for ages, a fact not reflected by his level. The reason why is because he once was on the [[GodForADay verge]] of [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence Ascending]] to becoming a [[AGodAmI God]]. However--while his friend and traveling companion Hank made it in--the BalanceOfPower between Good and Evil would've been too disrupted had Argus also joined, so he had to be [[SmiteMeOMightySmiter Struck Down]] to the Netherworld--while by no means a bad existence, Argus did not want that kind of afterlife, so willingly [[BroughtDownToNormal was Nerfed]], Descending back down in desperation. Needless to say, he was [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge not amused]], and now seeks vengeance, ultimately hoping to achieve Ascension again--this time, however, as bad.

* AffablyEvil: A bit ''too'' affable, Argus.
* AGodAmI: He briefly '''''was''''' one.
** [[AGodIsYou A God Was Argus]]: As such, he has many of the abilities he had, and is now on a quest to reclaim his levels so he can re-obtain his godhood.
* AscendedDemon: His goal.
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: He did so, briefly, but [[BroughtDownToNormal didn't get to keep it]]. He aims to do so, again.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Subverted. Seeking out to ascend isn't really that evil--people of all alignments have done it before. But it's harder to get to the higher-hundreds as an evil character, due to EverythingTryingToKillYou, both heroes and villains alike. However, Argus actually has the power to ascend as an evil god, a quite ambitious goal.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: This is what he thinks of "Argus" as being.
* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: His experiences have made him firmly believe this.
* BalanceOfPower: The reason he has chosen evil; there are still too many Good Gods, because getting to a high enough level to Ascend is very difficult as an Evil alignment.
* BeingEvilSucks: Specifically, getting rid of those pesky LawfulGood tendencies is a bit hard to do.
* BeingGoodSucks: It's the reason why he couldn't stay as a God. It also has the bad habit of remaining in his personality, even after his alignment change.
* BloodKnight: A side-effect of his alignment; he often-times purposefully extends the fights and messes around with his opponents, despite being able to cast a single spell which obliterates them.
* BroughtDownToNormal: More like "brought down to level 1"--he is far from "normal".
* CardCarryingVillain: Aspires to be one. Isn't...quite there yet.
* CatchPhrase: ''"Hey, it's not'' '''my''' ''fault I was Nerfed on the verge of [[AGodAmI Omnipotence]]!"''
* ChewingTheScenery: Brian tries his best to convey this in sprite form.
* ChronicVillainy: Inverted--he keeps falling into '''''good'''''.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Argus's real name is Jason Argo Maustrat. He prefers Argus.
* ElementalPowers: All characters in the higher half of the hundreds become so powerful that the restrictions for multiclassing and multielementing are removed, so Argus eventually gained control of all eight elements.
* EvilFeelsGood: When he's doing it right, that is.
* [[invoked]] EvilIsCool: He certainly thinks so.
* EvilSorcerer: Prefers his Mage side and is evil, but only technically fits this trope.
* {{Expy}}: A brilliant yet mysterious winged mage dressed in black with a shadowy past and ego (who likes to mess with his opponents) using very high level spells whose name starts with an A. [[spoiler: And who has an antagonistic brother.]] My, my, [[http://antiheroescomic.com/cast#aldran whoever could that be]]?
** Making this joke WAS the reason the whole world of Soano was created.
* FaceHeelTurn: Changing his alignment after Descending from good to evil would ''technically'' count, if he wasn't 1: the protagonist, and 2: very, very bad at the 'evil' half.
* FallenHero: In more than one sense. The comic's not called [[MeaningfulName The Descended]] for no reason, after all.
* ForTheEvulz: While Argus does have a goal, said goal requires him to do this whenever he can: pointless violence, effectively.
* [[invoked]] GameBreaker: Argus kept all of his abilities and items (including the [[HealingPotion Potion Limit]]). Their use is somewhat limited, because many of them were designed for higher levels and higher stats, to make sure he doesn't GodMode all his enemies. However, he also gains the attributes he had at the level he had them at, while also gaining the standard increase for his level, making his stats effectively double what they should be at his level.
* GenreBlind: Despite his immense amount of knowledge, he is prone to occasionally overlook things he really should have seen coming.
* GenreSavvy: More-so than a standard character would be, due to his immense experience. Briefly being a God helped, too. This also means he's the only mortal character who will call out Tropes by their exact name. (It's canonical that all Gods have access to Website/TVTropes.)
* GlassCannon: A consequence of him being able to cast spells at far too low of a level. He has ways to overcome it, but it still is rather annoying.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Only on his left eye, which is conveniently obscured by his hair.
* GodForADay: Since time works differently between the Deities and Soano, the few seconds it took from Ascension to Descending were about this long to him--meaning he still gained a lot of knowledge about how the Heavens work in his brief stay among them.
* GodInHumanForm: Essentially.
* GodIsEvil: Has the powers of a God, and is evil, so technically fits.
* GoodAngelBadAngel: He has them on occasion. The Good Angel has to convince Argus that what he's doing IS evil, effectively acting as forcing him to choose the lesser of two evils. The Bad Angel obviously wants him to take the worse option.
* [[GoodFeelsGood Good Felt Good]]: It did, until it almost got him killed, essentially by his best friend. He was not amused.
* GoodHurtsEvil: Or rather, Good interferes with attempts to perform Evil.
* GoodIsBoring: Slightly [[http://descended.thecomicseries.com/comics/5 lampshaded]], when Argus points out how he's effectively living life as a NewGamePlus, and playing the hero twice in a row is boring; everyone is a villain on their second runthrough.
--> ''"After all, everyone knows that after having played through a game as good, they'll do it as evil and find it far more enjoyable."''
* GoodWingsEvilWings: He retained the former, despite his alignment becoming the latter. He lost the halo, though.
* HarmlessVillain: For the average person, he tends not to be that much of a threat, despite his alignment.
** His enemies, however, quickly learn that he is '''not''' this to them.
* HolyHalo: Gained when he was an adventurer in the upper-hundreds, lost when he reversed his alignment and replaced with its opposite...
* HornedHumanoid: Red devil horns after his alignment reversal.
* InHarmsWay: He needs to go back into the fray to re-level himself up.
* InvincibleHero: Obviously, has a bit of an advantage over most of his foes.
* ItAmusedMe: His antics are almost all this. Argus could end most of his fights with pretty much no effort. He chooses not to, because "it's more fun that way."
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: His evil alignment pretty much requires him to act as a JerkAss whenever he can. His ''former'' alignment, however, pushes him into this territory, much to his chagrin.
* KarmaMeter: We get to see changes in it, though not the actual meter itself.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Not Exactly A Hero".
* LightningBruiser: He now is this, despite having once been a [[SquishyWizard Squishy Mage]].
* LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards: Played with--Hank, a Rogue turned Joat, got to Ascend, whereas Argus, a Mage turned Joat, was forced to Descend. They had been equally powerful at the time. Now, Hank's a God, more powerful than any being alive--the cost is that he's stuck on the Heavenly plane, meaning he's not able to interact with the mortal plane, effectively rendering him harmless. But Argus is still on the mortal plane, with all of his powers--making him basically able to level a city.
* MeaningfulRename: Argus's birth name is Jason Argo Maustrat. He renamed himself Argus after his [[FallenHero fall]] into [[FaceHeelTurn villainy]].
* [[MinionWithAnFInEvil Villain With An F In Evil]]: He wants to be bad. He really, really wants to. But it's hard to shake over sixty years of lawful tendencies...
* MundaneUtility: Argus's wings--while meant as a symbolic representation of his old alignment--actually allow him to fly.
* NewGamePlus: Argus considers his Descending to effectively be this. He even calls it by name.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Argus's exact age is unknown, but he was still adventuring frequently at the age of 60. Descending technically reset his age to 15, but his Wisdom Score is maxed out for a reason.
* OldSoldier: Related, he's no stranger to combat.
* PaintItBlack: His hair was brown when he was a young adventurer, golden (much to his chagrin) when he became more powerful, and gray when he turned 60. After his FaceHeelTurn, it went black.
** His robes, however, were always black.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: While it'd be extremely difficult for him to do so, he could single-handedly level an entire city in a very short amount of time, having effectively the power of a God trapped on the mortal realm and slightly [[DePower Depowered]].
* PhysicalGod: Not quite, but close--he was briefly a god before being [[BroughtDownToNormal struck down]], but maintained all of his powers and items, making him effectively this.
** This is one of his main advantages over other Godly figures who want to play [[TheChessmaster chess]] with him: they're trapped in other dimensions and cannot directly intervene. Argus, on the other hand, can.
* PowerGivesYouWings: And the Halo, though he lost it when he changed his alignment.
* PowerLimiter: While he has access to all of his high-level abilities (especially spells), he is limited to his level.
** Granted, he still has double the stats a character of his level '''''should''''' have, but it's still a limit.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: He tries to enjoy being evil, as effectively this against the Heavens
* SadistTeacher: Is supposed to be a Sadist due to his alignment, and teaches Davos.
* SanityHasAdvantages: In combat, he'll tend to screw around. Gods help you if he decides to become this.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers: One of the factors in his FaceHeelTurn; when the system didn't work the way he needed it to, he said, "screw that" and decided to take a different path.
* SeenItAll: Argus already went across the whole world once before; everything he's doing he's stated has been done before. (Just as a different alignment.)
* ShockAndAwe: Storm Magic (a combination of [[ElementalPowers Energy and Wind]] Magic) is his preferred method of fighting. Because Wind Magic is mainly Buff-Based, the offense is mainly left to the Energy half, resulting in this trope.
* ShonenHair / SpikyHair: His Sprite Art is shown like this; WordOfGod says it's accurate, except for the bangs, which fall under a different hairstyle.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Firmly in the middle of the third wheel.
* SmiteMeOMightySmiter: He actually '''''chose''''' to Descend, because the alternative was life in the Netherworld--not a '''bad''' life, but not Argus's idea of Paradise.
* TeamDad: Since he is Davos's mentor, he doesn't really mind if Davos takes a punch or two. That's good experience. He also knows Davos can handle mental stress. Attack his '''''emotions''''', on the other hand, and Argus becomes this.
* TheChessmaster: He prefers to make it up as he goes along (sometimes [[XanatosSpeedChess thinking things through quickly]], other times just [[IndyPloy doing whatever the heck he wants to]]), but having been a Mage, he will do this on occasion.
** He's considered to be in a long-term four-way chess battle. Hank is one of his opponents. Messing with [[PowersThatBe The Cosmos]] is another. The fourth player in this long-term match is [[spoiler: Chaos]]. Argus is at a disadvantage, but is holding his ground well enough.
* JackOfAllStats: His class is "Joat", which stands for "Jack of all trades".
** However, since he only took this class after there was literally no reason '''''not''''' to, he's more a "[[LightningBruiser Master Of All]]", rather than "MasterOfNone".
* TheMentor: To Davos, due to Argus having traveled with extremely powerful pureblooded vampires in the past.
* TheRedMage: Argus started as a Storm Mage, which is a combination of Energy and Wind magic. This got upgraded to Master when he became powerful enough, and later threw in the other classes to the mix as well.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Argus loves doing this all the time, because brutality is considered an evil act and he [[MinionWithAnFInEvil needs all the Evil Points he can get]].
* TheSmartGuy: Has a maxed-out Wisdom score, and was originally a mage.
* VillainBall: Frequent victim.
* VillainProtagonist: ''Technically'', he's evil.
* VisionaryVillain: Argus has a clear plan for what he wants to do: reascend as an evil God.
* WhatTheHellHero: Has this attitude towards Hank and all Good-aligned gods, in regards to how they planned to deal with Argus.
* WingedHumanoid: He was surprised that he got to keep the wings.
** While meant as symbolic, the comic's avatar has him (attempting) to use them as a MundaneUtility: to [[http://comicfury.com/comicavatars/1678.png fly]].
* [[YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood You Should Use Your Powers For Good]]: He'd certainly do better at it then he would as a villain.
** He did it before, got [[GoodIsBoring bored]], and decided to do it the fun way, instead. And the whole revenge thing certainly doesn't help. So he decided to use his powers for Evil.

!!Aria L. Fulor
[[quoteright:194:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Official_Aria_7850.bmp]]

--> ''"Rogues are inheritantly manipulative. They cheat, they steal, they rob, they lie, they backstab, they run, and in general, they do whatever they need to in order to live. Lawful Good characters are honorable, bound to uphold the law, and do what’s right. The two do'' '''not''' ''mix well."''

A Rogue who made a bit of a poor [[CharacterAlignment alignment choice]] which cost her life. Unable and unwilling to move on to the Netherworld, she decided to linger around the area she died in as a Ghost. When Argus found her, he offered her an [[MacGuffin Amulet of Solidification]] allowing her to interact more physically with the mortal realm and out of gratuity, she joined him. She was the one Argus found first in his recruitment effort, and is therefore his [[TheLancer second-in-command]]. Like Argus, she hopes to get to a high level--to regain her mortal form without the aid of the Amulet.

* BackFromTheDead: Her goal.
* BoyMeetsGhoul: Kind-of. Argus encounters Aria before any of his other recruits, offering her one of his many items, the Amulet of Solidification, which allows her to continue adventuring with him.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: A small part of her backstory, which is never brought up in the comic because it's unimportant.
* CuteGhostGirl: Her Amulet of Solidification allows her to interact with people normally, while retaining all the neat Ghost Tricks.
* GhostlyAdvisor: To Argus.
* GhostPirate: Ghost Rogue, but close enough.
* HonorBeforeReason: What caused her death. She is quite a bit more reluctant to do it now, to say the least.
* HumanityEnsues: Her Amulet Of Solidification allows her to interact with people physically. She'd prefer not to rely on its strength and be able to do it on her own power, so her goal is this.
* [[invoked]] LawfulGood: Technically, her alignment choice. [[CombatPragmatist She tends to cheat]] a little [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism more than her alignment should allow her to]].
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Not Exactly Casper".
* MacGuffin: The Amulet of Solidification is a significant one.
* MoralityKitchenSink: Her alignment is supposed to be good, but being a Ghost has left her alignment a little...debatable. Being with Argus certainly doesn't help.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: They're incapable of interacting with the physical world (touching things), but things like talking and visibility are no problem at all. Their heads are slightly larger, their feet are smaller, and they're semi-transparent, but they're otherwise still human-like. This is why simply giving her the Amulet of Solidification is enough to make her appear to be (almost) human. She still retains all of her ghostly powers, though:
** {{Invisibility}}: optional.
** Phasing through things: default state; she has to have the Amulet of Solidification to interact with the physical world, but it's not stuck always on.
** Non-Elemental magic.
** Limited [[PsychicPowers tele]][[MindOverMatter kinesis]].
** Non-Darkness-based [[MasterOfIllusion Illusions]].
** Non-Water-based Manipulation. ([[DemonicPossession Possession]].)
** [[PsychicDreamsForEveryone Dreamwalking]], though she tends to prefer not to.
** [[PowerFloats Levitation]]--abused all the time.
** Environmental Manipulation--limited, but her mood has an influence on the general atmosphere.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: firmly on the cynical side, to the point where many question if she is LawfulGood at all.
* The CombatPragmatist: She '''''is''''' a Rogue, after all.
** However--due to her LawfulGood alignment, she doesn't always fight this way. Just most of the time.
* UndeathAlwaysEnds: And she'd prefer for it to be pleasant, rather than miserable.

!!Davos T. Vedmir
[[quoteright:194:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Official_Davos_210.bmp]]

-> ''"I don't enjoy being a 'good vampire'—we're considered wimpy compared to evil vamps. We're expected to hunt animals, and it's a miracle that the sunlight'' ''does''' ''harm most of us. I was just born this alignment. Unlike humans, it can't change, no matter how much I hate it. Who wants to rely on donors? I want to go out and suck blood!"''

Davos is a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Pureblooded Vampire]] Storm Paladin who wields a double-sided bladed staff, and is therefore the main combatant of The Outcasts. He's an [[ConvenientlyAnOrphan Orphan]], sent to [[TrainingFromHell The Academy]] where he received [[FantasticRacism bad treatment]] which influenced his general outlook on life. He came along with Argus because Argus traveled with "The Most Powerful Vampire in the land" and can teach Davos how to use his abilities.

* BeingGoodSucks: Especially since he is compelled to do good and cannot change his alignment.
* BlessedWithSuck: A bit [[IncrediblyLamePun literally]]. That aside, Davos sees his alignment as this--it's meant to be a blessing, but BeingGoodSucks.
* BloodLust: Has it, but needs to rely on donors.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Made one at an early age even by human standards--for a vampire, it's even younger.
* CuteLittleFangs: Has them. He would prefer them to be [[FangsAreEvil a different trope]]...
* DoubleWeapon: His weapon's a staff with a double-sided blade on each end, with a small core which can have blood run through it. It's the signature weapon of The Elite from his academy.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Less so than normal, both in-universe and out. Out of universe, him being a sprite limits the effect. In-universe, it's because adventurers being unusual is considered the normal, and people don't give him so much as a second thought once they know he is one.
* EvilTastesGood: He thinks so, but can never know for sure.
* FangsAreEvil: He '''''wishes''''' they were.
* FantasticRacism: The Academy actually had no issue with him being a vampire--that was fine, to them. What they had issue with was the alignment he was born as.
** To elaborate, [[spoiler: The Academy publicly looks to be a normal facility, but is actually run by evil masters, so all the students of positive alignments go insane, all the students of negative alignments are rewarded well.]] Since Davos is a Pureblooded vampire, that means that he's [[spoiler: immune to the insanity and control they'd normally exert over his alignment]], making him a threat.
*** This is also the main reason [[spoiler: he is dissatisfied with his alignment as demonstrated by the quote--due to the negative experiences he had in The Academy, forced to be an alignment frowned upon and immune to the side-effects.]]
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: But not by choice--his alignment forces him to be one.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Red eyes, but nobody really cares--it '''''is''''' a fantasy setting, after all.
* HealingFactor: His 150% Endurance bonus offers this.
* IHateYouVampireDad: Sort-of. He doesn't remember his father and holds no ill will against him. He is, however, rather displeased with where he got sent with his birth-alignment; the two did '''''not''''' mix well.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Not Exactly Edward". (Sensing a theme?)
* MadeOfIron: His 150% Endurance bonus is this.
* MindControlEyes: A Pureblood-exclusive ability, using a variant of Water Magic's manipulation of blood. He doesn't use it much, both due to lack of mastery, not wanting to rely on vampire tricks (in case he encounters a Vampire Hunter), and his alignment.
* NaiveNewcomer: Davos's emotions control his Wisdom Score--the difference between him being this and a Wise Sage with knowledge and experience far beyond his years (due to The Academy). He tends to be this more often than not.
* [[invoked]] NeutralGood: Much to his chagrin, this is his alignment. Unlike humans, it's locked in for good, meaning he is compelled to do good whenever he can, even if it goes against what he feels like would be best for himself. [[spoiler: This also made him immune to The Academy's control, making him a threat.]]
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Vampire structure is quite complex, but Pureblooded Vampires are about as strong as they come--immune to daylight, require minimum amounts of feeding, can digest limited amounts of human food, immune to holy weapons, unaffected by water, maximized strength and speed, more vampiric abilities, etc. Unfortunately for Davos, he doesn't know how to use most of them.
* SkilledButNaive: Definitely skilled, and his emotions can leave him slightly naive at times, so fits.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Since he [[BlessedWithSuck can't change his character alignment]], he does the best he can with what he's got, firmly on the cynical side of the scale.
* SlidingScaleOfUndeadRegeneration: Type 4, due to being a Pureblood.
* SlidingScaleOfVampireFriendliness: Being a Pureblood vampire whose alignment is permanently locked as Good, Davos is pretty high on the list.
* SuperSenses: Has a 150% stat bonus to Instinct.
* SuperSpeed: Has a 150% stat bonus on the speed stats.
* SuperStrength: Same bonus also applies to the Strength and Endurance stats.
* TrainingFromHell: The Academy was rather nasty to him. He learned almost all of his abilities (not using his vampiric side) from there and became quite the powerful Paladin due to his training, but he was rather miserable.
* UndeathlyPallor: He's drawn as white not out of artistic laziness, but because his skin is pale.
* VampireBitesSuck: Or rather, techniques used by a vampire are extremely powerful--Drain5 is not a 'bite': it's worse.
* VegetarianVampire: But not by choice.
* YourVampiresSuck: Davos does not take kindly to the FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire depiction of his kind--even though it's ''true'', he still hates this kind and would much prefer if he was another.


!!Sasha Gold Oblong
[[quoteright:194:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Official_Sasha_5633.bmp]]

--> ''"Goblins are clichéd.'' ''AlwaysChaoticEvil''? ''Been there, done that.'' '''Not''' ''ChaoticEvil'', ''but perceived that way? Seen it before. Tragic past where a friend died at the hand of a Warrior? Certainly not new. Since I can't stop myself from being clichéd, might as well do what I want."''

A [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent Goblin]] [[LightIsGood Light]] Paladin, the [[MysteriousProtector Guardian]] of a small unnamed human village. After the local demon threat (will be) taken care of permanently, she (will) join the Outcasts as their [[TheMedic healer]]. Her goblin village was attacked by a Darkness Warrior and destroyed, leaving her on the path of light. She is a bit impulsive and strong-willed, which Argus sees as a very valuable (albeit highly annoying) asset to his team.

* BareFistedMonk: She uses a sword, but her Goblin and Paladin skills means she could be this if she wanted to.
* CombatMedic: Being a Light Paladin has this as a side-effect. While her primary purpose is to heal, she is no slouch in a fight.
* {{Expy}}: As hinted in her quote, she was designed to deliberately have similarities to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goblins_%28webcomic%29#Cast Big-Ears]].
* HealingHands: Her hands turn yellow when casting Light Magic.
* HealingShiv: Her sword can channel her light magic, acting like this. It's still a normal sword, though.
* HolyHandGrenade: "Not '''''all''''' light spells are healing-based."
* IndyPloy: She prefers not to wait for Argus's plans. It frequently works out well, but [[LeeroyJenkins when it doesn't]]...
* LeeroyJenkins: She '''''is''''' a Goblin, after all; her antics can be this at times. She tends to show a lot more restraint, however.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Not Exactly Evil".
* LethalHarmlessPowers: Light was designed specifically as a healing element. That is far from it's only use.
* LightIsGood
* LightEmUp: Her element of choice.
* OurGoblinsAreDifferent: Nicely illustrated with her quote.
* PowerFist: Can be created when combining her magic with her combat skills.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Fits best on the idealistic side.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Her quick-acting can ruin Argus's plans. However, it can be equally devastating to those who expect Argus's well-thought-out plans and don't expect her to come rushing in.
* TeamMom: Acted as this when a village guardian, so after realizing she genuinely cares for her teammates, becomes one of these.
* TechnicalPacifist: She prefers to look for other ways around the problem, alternatives to combat or if fighting must be done, for as little harm as possible to be inflicted. But when push comes to shove, she will not hesitate (and in fact might do so before ''Argus'' does) to attack.
* TheFettered: Effectively her choice in lifestyle.
* TheHeart: The only one on the team with a confirmed willingly-positive alignment.
* TheMedic: Her primary purpose on the team.
* ThePaladin: She's not lawful, but close enough to fit.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: Will not hesitate to demonstrate that--while Light is a healing-oriented element--it's not '''''exclusively''''' for healing.
* WhatTheHellHero: She's this to Argus--she tends not to mind his antics and in fact openly is fine with his choice of alignment. She criticizes him when he goes too far.
* WhiteMage: Light Paladin, but close enough.
* WhiteMagic: Since she is a Light Paladin, she has access to Light Magic, which is this.

[[folder:The Elementals]] [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Elementals_Profile_Streamlined2_230.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Sanik, Sarge, Tyra, and M.]]

The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Ele]][[ElementalPowers mentals]] are [[HeroOfAnotherStory secondary]] protagonists, [[TheRival competing]] against The Latens. They were formed by Sanik with the intention of controlling all eight elements in the ultimate adventure. They were once known as heroes throughout the land, but have fallen into obscurity [[spoiler: since their homeland has been destroyed]].

When they were the same group as The Latens, they did, but the groups had a falling out after they were defeated by the "Agent of Chaos" and lived only through the HeroicSacrifice by close companions of theirs.

Starting over from scratch, Sanik decided to take the chance for a fresh start and begin things again. Since then, their emphasis has shifted more towards saving others, growing strong enough to defeat the Agent, and learn the truth.

!!Sanik Archer Ronado
[[quoteright:194:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Official_Sanik_Post2_5486.bmp]]

--> ''"Adventure Away!"''

Sanik is the leader and founder of The Elementals. He frequently employs [[StatusBuff Wind Magic]] to aid his team, but prefers to rely on his ring and cast non-standard offensive [[BlowYouAway Wind Spells]] instead. While he is technically a [[MagicKnight Battle Mage]], his only weapon is a light dagger, so he much prefers not to employ it. He is pretty much the only person out of the eight Elementals and Latens who became '''''more''''' [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism idealistic]] after their defeat, becoming even more noble and less pragmatic than he once was in the past.

* TheAntiNihilist: Post-defeat, his outlook on life became closer to this.
* BlowYouAway: His Wind Ring gives non-standard Wind Magic which acts this way.
* CatchPhrase: ''"Adventure Away!"'', shared with his brother, Kinas.
* DiscardAndDraw: He used to be a Wind Rogue using a bow granting him many Wind Mage abilities. When he lost the bow, he kept the magic but switched to melee instead of Ranged, becoming a Wind Battle Mage instead.
* KnightInShiningArmor: One of the few in the setting.
* [[invoked]] LawfulGood: One of the only people to play this alignment all the time and play it well.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "An Hero".
* MagicKnight: Technically, he's a Battle Mage, but people tend to [[RememberedICouldFly forget]] he has melee skills due to his strong preference to magic.
* MeaningfulName: His name, Sanik, was taken from "Sonic", which--to Brian--instantly relates to "Sound", relating to his wind abilities.
* NotQuiteFlight: Hovering, his most frequently-employed standard Wind Magic ability.
* RazorWind: Has the capability to cast it from his ring, but prefers more blunt magic.
* ShonenHair / SpikyHair: His official appearance is this, as shown in his sprite art.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Pretty much the only one in the cast who could keep himself on the ideal side.
** Before his reset, however, he was cynical and pragmatic.
* StatusBuff: Since he uses Wind Magic, this is his job on the team.
* TheFettered: One of the few characters who is this, and not a less-pure version.
* TheHero: Probably the closest one on the cast page to the definition.
* WideEyedIdealist: The only character to have become '''''more''''' idealistic with his life's experiences.

!!Sarge Spark Shovexo
[[quoteright:194:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Official_Sarge1_7872.bmp]]

-->''"Warriors have twenty skills, but boiled down, it's nothing more than stabidy stab stab stab."''

Sarge is the [[TheBrute main combatant]] of The Elementals, always blunt and to the point, but is by no means the headstrong typical [[FieryRedhead Fire]] Warrior--Sanik and Tyra always take into heavy consideration anything he says, for his words carry wisdom as the man with the most years of [[ShellShockedVeteran war-torn]] [[OldSoldier experience]] of the group. The strongest of The Elementals, Sarge's stubborn [[TheDeterminator endurance]] has helped the team pull through the [[DarkestHour toughest of times]], allowing them in the end to persevere against all odds.

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: His name.
* TheBrute: His role in combat.
* HonorBeforeReason: Subverted. He's plenty reasonable, but he views pragmatic moves as dishonoring TheWarriorWay, forming one of the main points in his rivalry with Nathan Betrax.
* FieryRedhead: Subverted. He's impulsive in fights and is quick to the trigger when the opportunity for battle arises, but outside of combat, he is one of the most level-headed members of the cast, and even when in battle does not rely on instinct alone.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "The Brute".
* MeaningfulName: His middle initial is '''''Spark'''''. Guess which element he is?
** His first name counts as well: He's the oldest, most experienced of The Elementals, and when he says something, people listen--as one would expect from a Sarge.
* PlayingWithFire: His element of choice.
* ThePollyanna: Out of all the characters in the comic, he is the '''''only''''' one who cannot be tormented mentally--no tragedy influences his emotions.
* TheWarriorWay: He believes in honest fights that don't employ "cheap tricks", but also believes that just because Warriors are fighters doesn't mean they have to fight stupidly. Since Nathan Betrax alternates between these two extremes, it is the main reason that Sarge hates him.

!!Tyra
[[quoteright:194:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Official_Tyra2_7743.png]]

-->''"It's amazing how many different creative ways you guys seem to cook up to get yourselves killed."''

Tyra is TheLancer of Sanik, his support in more ways than one, and is the main reason that the team was formed. Her preferred approach to things is a little more passive than Sanik's, and this applies to combat as well: she's the team's [[TheMedic healer]], and employs [[DishingOutDirt Earth Magic]] aided by archery. It is due to her [[TheHeart kind nature]] that The Elementals have continued to exist as long as they have.

* ElementalEyeColors: Green eyes her element.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "The Medic".
* OnlyOneName: Because Brian hasn't thought of her full name, yet.
* TheMedic: Her role on the team.

!!M
[[quoteright:194:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Official_M_660.bmp]]

-->''"I see no problem with the viewpoint that we are all cheated constantly, for in that perspective there is absolutely nothing frowning upon cheating back."''

M is the main spellcaster of The Elementals, doing the best job possible of staying out of harm's way--and this willingness to avoid direct confrontation carries over to M's personality: M is the tactician of The Elementals, who fills the gaps in Sanik's strategies. While M's methodical and logical approach is considered too conservative and prone to being incomplete, M's vast array of wisdom and know-how has allowed M to guide The Elementals through situations that would otherwise have been certain death.

* AmbiguousGender: Originally because Brian couldn't decide between M's original source material (girl) and a later influence (guy), but later kept after Brian noticed M's similarities to a certain character...
* [[invoked]] Expy: A LawfulNeutral ambiguously gendered mage with a one-letter nickname, who doesn't use the best combination of spells and is incredibly verbose. Hmm, that sounds familiar...
* [[invoked]] LawfulNeutral: M's choice of alignment.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "The Brains".
* MakingASplash: M's choice of element, Water.
* OneLetterName: M is just a nickname, but it is what all characters call M.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Firmly on the cynical and pragmatic side of the scale.
* SquishyWizard: M takes noticeably more damage than the rest of the party during their battles.
* TheSmartGuy: Comes naturally to M as a mage.

[[folder:The Latens]] [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Latens_Profile_Streamlined2_9170.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Kinas, Nathan, Sinaer, and Enlecar.]]

The Latens are the Tertiary Protagonists of the story, but still have their part to play, that of equal importance to the other two groups. They started their career as part of The Elementals, but after their defeat at the Agent of Chaos, Kinas formed this group to go off independantly.

That fresh start also signified their fresh choices in alignment, all having changed from what they were before to be darker. They love the thrill of adventuring, but don't really care anymore about the lives of others--just themselves.

Their overall goal is the same as The Elementals, but their motivation is different: they want '''''revenge'''''. The truth coming out is just a pleasant side-effect of that. They're still "good guys", but only because they're fighting people worse than themselves.

* BrokenBird: Out of all the Elementals and Latens, Kinas took their defeat the hardest.
* CastingAShadow: His current choice of element.
* CatchPhrase: ''"Adventure Away!"'', borrowed from his brother, Sanik.
* EvilTwin: Post-FaceHeelTurn.
* FaceHeelTurn
* FallenHero: Worse than Argus.
* HeroicBSOD: Had one after his defeat, which eventually led to his FaceHeelTurn.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Fallen Hero".
* LightEmUp: Pre-FaceHeelTurn, this was his element of choice.
* MagicKnight: His current class, Death-Paladin, is this.
* MasterOfIllusion: While he prefers his non-standard offensive darkness magic, he is quite adept in this as well.
* [[invoked]] NeutralGood: His former alignment, pre-FaceHeelTurn.
* SdrawkcabName: Kinas is "Sanik" backwards.
* ShonenHair / SpikyHair: other than his partial bangs, his hair looks like this.
* TheRival: To Sinaer in childhood, to his brother as an adult.

* ActionGirl: At least, she [[RetiredBadass used to be]]. As the team's medic, she [[FauxActionGirl doesn't get the opportunity very often]] to show off her skills.
* CastingAShadow: Her previous choice of element.
* [[invoked]] LawfulNeutral: Falls somewhere between here and TrueNeutral.
* LightEmUp: Her current choice of element.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Faux Action Girl". (Sensing the trend?)
* OnlyOneName: Like Tyra, until recently.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Her kind-hearted nature would conflict with the letter of her alignment, placing her on the ideal side of the third wheel.
* TheMedic: Her role on the team.
* TheRival: To Kinas when younger, to Tyra post-defeat, though they don't take it seriously.
* [[invoked]] TrueNeutral: Falls somewhere between here and LawfulNeutral.
* RetiredBadass: As the team's medic, she doesn't get a lot of action. When she was Darkness-element, she was a Martial Artist, just like Kinas, favoring range compared to Kinas favoring melee.

-->*insert quote here*

description here.

* BeingGoodSucks: He certainly seems to think so.
* DumbMuscle: One of his two combat methods, to just go in and hack at things.
** This also applies to his naivety; Nathan, being the youngest of the main cast, has the lowest Wisdom Score.
* EvilFeelsGood: Why he decided to take this as his new alignment.
* [[invoked]] LawfulEvil: His alignment choice post-defeat.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Deadly Contradiction".
* NaiveNewcomer: Was the last member to join the Elementals/Latens, and is the youngest of the cast.
* PragmaticVillainy: His alignment is technically lawful evil, and this is one of his two combat styles.
* ShonenHair / SpikyHair: How he officially looks, as shown in his sprite art.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Firmly on the ideal side.
* TheBrute: One of his combat styles.
* TheRival: To Sarge; both are Warriors, but Nathan alternates between the DumbMuscle stereotype and pragmatic fighting, both of which Sarge sees as despicable.


!!Enlecar Hovan Craftsman

* {{Flynning}}: Pre-defeat, his weapon of choice was a Rapier.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Dishonored Fighter".
* OnlyOneName: Because Brian had enough trouble coming up with his first name.
* ShockAndAwe: His element of choice, Energy.
