CharacterAlignment: ChaoticNeutral

Dark Kaizer is one of [[BunnyEarsLawyer those]] kinds of guys. Essentially, TheInternet's [[TheWonka Jack Sparrow]];[[ChaoticNeutral you can always trust him to be dishonest.]] A RebelliousSpirit, he may be, but you can always count on him to [[DefaultToGood fight for the good guys]], even if he is [[HeroicSociopath kind of bad at it]]. [[TedBaxter The self-proclaimed master of awesome]], and [[BlatantLies one sexy motherfucker]].

Compare LovableRogue, contrast EmotionalBruiser.

[[folder: OCs (Conflict: Parts 1 - 5)]]
!!'''Gauntlet'''
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: In order to defeat Oblivion, he essentially had to invoke this trope to become like him. CoolMask was even cranked up to 11.
* CoolMask: Not so much a mask as it is a visor, but it still counts.
* CoolSword: Which is then [[spoiler: passed on to Elliot, and then later passed on to Cody.]]
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: The incantation he uses to [[spoiler: become as Oblivion is at the end of Part 1. By becoming a nearly demonic entity,he was forced to struggle to keep control of his sanity, but he also had to sacrifice his life to destroy the artifact keeping the BigBad in tact.]] He was well aware of how the struggle would end, but still went through with it.
* FlashStep
* FrickinLaserBeams
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: Pretty much saves everyone on Earth by destroying Oblivion and making sure he can't reform.]]
* LawfulGood
** KnightInSourArmor
* TheObiWan: To all of the teens training under him, [[spoiler: until he dies at the end of the first part.]]

!!'''Oblivion'''
* AllYourPowersCombined: "OB!" "LIV!" "ION!" "AS THREE WE ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO US AS ONE! WE ARE CHAOS! ALPHA! OMEGA! BEGINNING AND END! FEAR THE POWER OF OBLIVION!!!"
* EldritchAbomination: In his final form.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast

!!'''Cody Achliss'''
* AnIcePerson / MakingASplash
* BadassLongcoat: Wears it in memory of Johnathon after Part 1.
* BattleInTheRain: In his fight with Dylan in Part 4, which gives him a huge advantage.
* BigBrotherMentor: To Alex.
* ChaoticGood
* CutenessProximity: PlayedForLaughs around Raphael at first... and then it's reavealed that the kid is TheBigGuy in his group...
* {{Determinator}}: "I won't die here... I CAN'T DIE HERE."
* ObliviousToLove: Morgan can beg and plee all she wants, but Cody never notices her affection until Part 4.
* PrimalFear: Cody is deathly afraid of the dark. Not just any dark space does it however. He will only cower in fear from total darkness.
* ShinyMidnightBlack: His hair color throughout the entire series.
* TearsOfFear: This happens in the first book after he is attacked by Jessen.

!!'''Elliot Hunt'''
* ArtificialLimbs: His left arm is one now, [[spoiler: after having it ripped from his body by Oblivion at the end of Part 1.]] Not only does it allow him full function of the lost limb, but it also has the capability to transform into a claw when he goes werewolf.
* BadassBookworm: He took a level in badass after Part 1, and stopped relying on Edsel so much.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: His parents died in a car accident, leaving only him and his twin brother to [[CrapsackWorld look out for one another.]]
* DishingOutDirt
** ExtraOreDinary: Shown on a few occasions, [[TooAwesomeToUse but not enough]] to have it as a second element.
* DivingSave: To stop Cody from hitting the ground after [[spoiler: he passes out and reverts from his Half-Dragon form.]]
* DyeOrDie: He had to not only dye his bangs blue, but grow them out longer to look different, [[spoiler: to keep Everith off his tail. Didn't really work too well, considering that the BigBad was able to sense his power.]]
* EnemyWithin: The werewolf curse leads to this in Part 1.
* TheGlassesComeOff: He always wears them in the lab, but never durring a mission.
* IdenticalStranger: Looks a lot like Ob, even though Ob has been around FAR longer than Elliot. They seem to have nothing connecting them to one another though.
* [[spoiler: IGotBetter: You thought he died when Dylan ran him through in Part 3? Nah, his soul was just transported into Pandora's Box. Comes back in the Part 5 to kick some more ass.]]
* NeutralGood
* OneHitKill: Sure, he was able to destroy a few {{Mooks}} with his [[ExtraOreDinary blast of metal shards]], but don't expect it to do massive damage against the BigBad. [[spoiler: Everith actually dodged it.]]
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: He was cursed by Everith. Sure, it may seem like CursedWithAwesome, but [[spoiler: he had a hard time learning to control his transformations, and was left bedridden for quite a while.]]
* PeekABangs: Type II and IV.
* TheShortGuyWithGlasses: In the beginning he's only 5' 4 (15 years old). By the end he is 5'11 (31 years old).
* [[spoiler: SoullessShell: His body when the Four Horsemen decide to use it as one of their hosts.]]

!!'''Edsel Hunt'''
* BullyHunter: When he and Elliot were younger, Edsel would track down and beat up anyone who picked on his twin brother, making many believe he was Elliot's big brother.
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: When he fights Neal in Part 4.]]
* ExtremeDoormat: After [[spoiler: he goes blind]] in Part 2.
** TeachHimAnger: How Everith was able to bring out his inner beast in Part 3. It's not that Edsel couldn't fight, mind you, but he just didn't have enough hate to become a werelion.
* NeutralGood

!!'''Alex Haynes'''
* ChaoticGood
* CloudCuckooLander
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Sure, he seems like TheScrappy, and a total moron when you first get to know him, but when he starts to fight...
* PlayingWithFire
** WreathedInFlames: In his Phoenix form.

!!'''Everith Hart'''
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: This happens multiple times within the series, the first being when he made his first kill using the dark power granted to him by the Oblivion Artifact. The most notable is when he sees[[spoiler: Death, in Elliot's body, right before Jessen takes his life in Part 4.]]

!!'''Johnathon Hart'''
* TheArcher
* BadassLongcoat
* BlowYouAway
** WindFromBeneathMyWings
* LawfulGood
* PowerGivesYouWings
** GoodWingsEvilWings: Played straight in Part 1, in which is power over wind grants him white, angelic wings. [[spoiler: Averted in Part 5 when he comes back with Mixed Angel/Devil wings, the top two being large and black, the other four being white like his originals.]]
* RazorWind: He focuses the air around him to create the "arrows" for his bow.
* TooCoolToLive: According to WWHS's Writing Club of '09 after reading the novelization of Part 1.

!!'''Dylan Carlisle'''
* BerserkButton: Never call him stupid. Ever.
* BloodKnight
* CoolMask: In Part 3 and 4 when [[spoiler: he works for Everith.]]
* GreenThumb: Flowers and vines. No trees though, because that's Morgan's thing.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Performs a FaceHeelTurn [[spoiler: at the end of Book 2.]] He then later performs a HeelFaceTurn [[spoiler: at the end of Book 4. He is executed by his team at the beginning of Book 5 when his vampire form begins to take control, but it appears that he simply made another FaceHeelTurn. Turns out that his body is just being used as a host by Plague of the Four Horsemen.]]
** NeutralGood: When good.
** ChaoticEvil: When bad.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: It is revealed that he was just toying with all of his opponents until Part 4, [[spoiler: when he switches his BFS to his right hand in his fight with Alex.]]
* MakeMeWannaShout: [[spoiler: After becoming a vampire in Part 2.]]

!!'''Jessen Melara'''
* TheAtoner
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The main reason for him joining the Gear Warriors was because Edsel saved him from plummeting to his death outside of Everith's castle in Part 1.
* CloningBlues: Being a clone of the BigBad doesn't help much for this.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Or at least... not at first.
* FlashStep
* HeelFaceTurn
** ChaoticEvil: Pre-turn
** LawfulGood: Post-turn
* MasterOfIllusion: He is able to create doppelgangers of himself and others from darkness.
* SuperOCD: In Part 5.

* CuteLittleFangs: One pokes out on the left side of her mouth. Exagerated a bit when drawn as a chibi.
* NeutralGood
* ShrinkingViolet
* ZettaiRyouki: In her [[ShesGotLegs school uniform.]]

!!'''Morgan Haynes'''
* ActionGirl
* CoolBigSis: Alex's older sister... Who is madly in love with Cody.
* ChaoticGood
* GreenThumb
** WhenTreesAttack: A girl who brings trees to life? Yeah, this can get scary, especially when it's type 4.

!!'''Rose Melara'''
* {{Yandere}}: UpToEleven, and towards Alex. She is obsessed with him to the point that she thinks they are a couple even though they obviously are not, and believes the only way they can be happy together is [[AxeCrazy if Alex is dead...]] Yeah.
--->[[spoiler: Alex: *being chased down by Rose* WHY DO I ALWAYS GET THE CRAZY GIRLS?!]]

!!'''Michael Vinje'''
* AscendedFanboy: Introduced in Part 5 as a sort of butler to the Gear Warriors. He is then given [[spoiler: Dylan's Zero-Gear]], and thus becomes part of Jessen's brainchild, "The Archangels".

* [[spoiler: DeathIsCheap: In Part 5, every main character who has died throughout the series (the only exceptions being Gauntlet and Neal) turns out to still be alive... technically. Their souls were still living in the realm inside of Pandora's box.]]
* FantasyKitchenSink: Hmm... [[BadassNormal normal humans]], [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]], [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolves]], a werelion, [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demons]], a [[{{Cyborg}} cyborg]] werewolf, [[ClassicalMythology Pandora's]] [[SealedEvilInACan Box]]... Need I go on?
