Tal'Dorei One-Shots

Vox Moronica

Appearing in Episode 12 and the charity special "Critical Trolls for Extra Life", Vox Moronica, also known as "The Good, The Rad, and The Nubbly", are a team of adventurers formed by Snugglelord to aid him in his quest. They are a group of special guest characters who have had a series of comical misadventures together. Originally the group was formed when Snugglelord hired everyone to act as his bodyguards as they made their way to Roch Mar to find "The Chat Room", a temple which holds the secrets of how to enter the realm of the Overlord. Secretly, Snugglelord knows it is actually one of the Overlord's vaults. NOTE: Vox Moronica is in no way affiliated with Vox Machina.

In the charity special, the original trio were joined by three new characters played by series regulars.

In General

Anti-Hero Team: To be honest, it would be a stretch to call ANY of them heroic since they are so greedy and unconcerned by the harm they do to others.
Badass Crew: Subverted. They try to give off the appearance of a tough and skilled adventurer party, but they are far more bumbling.
Gold Fever: The group is made up of mercenaries, and the only reason they have remained banded together is because of the coin Snugglelord provides.
Knight, Knave, and Squire: The three members fit this well.
- Snugglelord (Knight): The most insightful of the group. Then again this isn't saying much.
- Ulfgar Fireforge (Knave): Cares only about money and enjoys violence.
- Salty Pete (Squire): He is the most lighthearted and relaxed of the crew.
Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: They are, a dishonest tiefling who wears a unicorn onesie, a greedy and violent mountain dwarf, and a pirate hill dwarf. At the end of the episode, they add an old crone of a halfling who plays the violin.

Snugglelord

Played by: Zac Eubank

Race: Tiefling

Class: Warlock (Fiend)

A charismatic charlatan hailing from parts unknown. He uses his intimidation and money to get whatever he wants.

Blue Blood: He was high status in his homeland. "lord" is part of his name, after all.
Consummate Liar: Zac said he put all his points into skills used for lying to people.
Deal with the Devil: He made a pact with an infernal creature called "The Overlord" in exchange for his warlock powers.
Grotesque Cute: A red Tiefling with demonic powers and no regard for anyone other than him. Oh, he also wears a unicorn onesie.
Incoming Ham: As soon as Zack says this, you know what kind of character he's going to play.
I AM THE SNUGGLELORD! THERE HAVE BEEN NONE BEFORE ME AND THERE WILL BE NONE AFTER, I AM THE SNUGGLELORD!
The Leader: The self appointed leader of Vox Moronica. The others only put up with him because he pays them.
Leitmotif: They don't break it out until episode 14. It's worth the wait.
Playing with Fire: He has a number of flame based spells. Also as a Tiefling, he has resistance to it.
Squishy Wizard: As per most spellcasters, he is useless for battle outside of spellcasting. He often tries his best to charm or intimidate his way out of combat.
Undying Loyalty. As per his "Pact of the Fiend", he has declared loyalty to "The Overlord".

Ulfgar Fireforge

Played by: Ify Nwadiwe

Race: Mountain Dwarf

Class: Fighter

A former pit fighter turned mercenary, Ulfgar is currently travelling with Vox Moronica for one reason and one reason alone: Money.

Dual Wielding: Uses two swords at the same time.
Everyone Has Standards: You can pay him to do anything, except bully children trying to get some gold.
Gold Fever: Says that he'll do anything for a buck. He will gladly put himself (and others) in danger for the pursuit of wealth.
Hidden Depths: After coming across a small child, he immediately adopts him. He always acts as a proud father and then mother to his son who quickly became his daughter.
I Call It "Vera": He refers to his right sword as "Regina" and his left sword as "Linda".
Improbable Weapon User: Plays a flute that has been sharpened at one end. It is apparently capable of stabbing someone.
I'm Taking Him Home with Me!: He's so overcome with Stephen's cuteness and Gold Fever that he adopts the kid on the spot.
Opening Monologue: Regularly introduces himself with his backstory, "former pit fighter; slow to trust, quick to kill. Money talks; bullshit walks".
Stout Strength: Just like many dwarves, he has a squat figure and a high strength stat.

Salty Pete

Played by: Dan Casey

Race: Hill Dwarf

Class: Rogue

A former pirate; his former captain gambled away his ship. Salty Pete's quest is to reclaim the ship "The Helen".

The Alcoholic: Quite fond of Chardonnay, sailor's choice.
Back Stab: The sneak attack is a trademark among rogues.
Badass Cape: His cape used to be the flag that hung up on the mast of his ship.
Fingore: Had all his fingers on his right hand cut off by Snugglelord with an axe. It was for a good reason, and an accident. Ulfgar only found two of them.
Madlibs Catch Phrase: "Classic (thing that just happened)".
Took a Level in Badass: After picking up a magical tarot card, he gained the cumulative experience of one thousand generations of family ancestors, causing him to jump from level two to ten in an instant. Dan had to spend the next several minutes adding all of his new abilities.
The Gambler: Tends to gamble while drunk. It was a problem for him in his backstory. It also leads him to push his luck with a Deck of Many Things.

Edna

Played by: Marisha Ray

Race: Human

Class: Wizard

Friend to All Children: She always keeps cookies on her person in case she runs into children. The others, including Stephen, the kid in question, think this is creepy.
Canon Welding: Revealed at the end of the episode to be the old woman Tiberius killed in "Crimson Diplomacy".
Catchphrase: The Chat Room commands her to say "Belial and Asthmadan" at random times.
I Can't Hear You: Part of her humor is her misunderstanding others because her hearing has gone in her old age.
May–December Romance: Kurt is a young man and Edna is 75 years old. They are a couple.

Kurt

Played by: Liam O'Brien

Race: Human

Class: Barbarian

The Berserker: Like a certain goliath, he would also like to rage!
Hair-Trigger Temper: He has less patience than he does clothing (i.e. very little).
May–December Romance: Kurt is a young man and Edna is 75 years old. They are a couple.
Pet the Dog: The first thing he does beyond swearing and violence is gifting Stephen one of his hammers so the kid can join in the bloodshed.
Primitive Clubs: The only thing he's wearing aside from a thong is a bunch of hammers he uses to simple-mindedly kill his enemies.
A Real Man Is a Killer: After Stephen makes his first kill, he dips his finger's in the corpse's blood, runs it over the kid's face and says, "now you are a man!"
Sir Swears-a-Lot: In his first scene, half his dialogue was profanity.
Stripperific: In his own words, "doesn't wear much".

Quelord

Played by: Orion Acaba

Race: Wood Elf

Class: Druid

The Unintelligible: Vox Moronica has great difficulty understanding anything he says. Snugglelord asks someone to translate.
The Unpronounceable: No one, in-universe or out, is quite certain how to pronounce his name... or spell it... or even what it is, really, as he simply never says it clearly. "Quelord" is nothing more than the Critical Role Wiki's best guess.

The Goblins

Starring in "The Goblins: A Critical Role Pathfinder One-Shot", this ragtag crew are members of the Birdcruncher Tribe, so named for their talent for trapping birds and eating them raw. The one-shot centers on their "quest" to obtain a "boom-boom rock" from a local town festival for their elder, and all the hilarious misadventures and failures that occur along the way.

In General

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/birdbiter_goblins.jpg

The most interesting, hilarious group of murder-loving goblins you're ever likely to meet.^note

Comedic Sociopathy: Their players really relish the opportunities being Goblins gives them, especially in their Finishing Moves.
Epic Fail: When they fail at skill checks, they fail spectacularly.
Laughably Evil: They may be Villain Protagonists, but their antics are hilarious.
The Rival: Their whole tribe is one to the Seven Tooth Tribe, who also want the stone. From what we see of the episode's ending, the Seven Tooth Tribe appears to be a lot more brutal.
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Calling the group "friends" would be a gross overstatement. When Grizznak falls unconscious, he is almost thrown into the stewpot for dinner, or outright abandoned in the human town.
Theme Music Power-Up: In-game, each of the players gets a "Goblin Song" they can choose to sing at any point in the game for a re-roll, especially giving themselves advantage on the check. All are used over the course of the session and with the exception of Taliesin, all of their rolls get worse.
Totem Pole Trench: Their plan to sneak into the festival involves stealing some fat guy's coat and standing on each other's shoulders. Amazingly, it works... for a while.
Villain Protagonist: Naturally, being Goblins and all, they are vicious little creatures who are the stars of this particular campaign.
Villain Song: The "Goblin Songs" are characteristic for each stupid evil goblin. Piglet's is about her love of smashing, Snizzler's has a lot of explosions, Mezek's is a threat for alcohol, Grizznak is bragging, and Browntooth is about how he prefers hiding and backstabbing to direct conflict.

Piglet

Played by: Ashly Burch

Class: Barbarian

Badass Adorable: Portrayed by Ashly Burch with an extremely high-pitched voice... and is also a Barbarian capable of kicking all kinds of ass. Best exemplified with the first time she Rages.
Piglet: I wanna rage!
The Berserker: Can Rage, just like Grog.
Card-Carrying Villain: When asked by Matt if she'd consider herself an evil character (for the purposes of a Paladin's Smite Evil ability), Ashly's reply is essentially yes.
Dumb Muscle: Played with. Her intelligence is 9, making her only slightly below average; very good by Barbarian standards.
Off with His Head!: Gets the first HDYWTDT against the adventuring party this way, somehow managing to decapitate a Fighter with a hammer.
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Great strength comes with being a Barbarian, even for a goblin.
With Catlike Tread: Best shown in this exchange:
Browntooth: Sometimes it pays to be quiet.
Piglet: I think we've all learned a valuable lesson.
Mezek: That's a very fair point.
Browntooth: Now, who's going to rip off this grate?
Piglet: (screaming) Me!
When All You Have Is a Hammer…: Literally. Piglet is good at smashing things with her hammer and very little else. So her answer to any problem is "smash it".

Browntooth

Played by: Phil Lamarr

Class: Rogue

Cruel and Unusual Death: Twice:
- Kills the Paladin by firing a crossbow bolt in one ear and out the other.
- Deals the killing blow to the Wizard by firing a crossbow bolt up his nose.
Dirty Coward: Toyed with, but ultimately subverted. He considers abandoning the rest of the group to die in the final battle so he can escape with the stone and be the elder's "favorite", but ultimately stays.
Impossible Theft: In a Sandpoint tavern cellar, he manages to steal all of the meat hanging on a wall in one second and pack his bags with it without any of the other Goblins ever noticing, on account of rolling a 32 (a natural 20 plus 12).
Ashly: He just shoved... an entire cow, down his pants, and no one saw.
Master of Unlocking: Despite being a Rogue and bragging about it in his song, actually subverted: Piglet and Grizznak do all the door-opening. (By smashing and magic, respectively)
Only Sane Man: Comes off as such compared to the other goblins. Also The Reliable One, as he is much more capable with what he does than any of them.
Stealth Expert: Due to his bonus to Stealth Checks from being a Goblin, he at one point rolls a 40.
Matt: You vanish from time and space!
Weak, but Skilled: Despite being a low-level Goblin with unimpressive stats outside Dexterity, he's better at Stealth Checks than Vax, due to Goblins' insane racial bonuses in that area (and to the differences between Pathfinder and D&D fifth edition).

Mezek

Played by: Taliesin Jaffe

Class: Monk

Ax-Crazy: Taliesin plays him as fairly... unhinged.
Bare-Fisted Monk: Naturally, given his class, he can hit hard with his bare hands.
Bond One-Liner: Taliesin carries over the trait, even when playing a different character.
Mezek: (after killing the Bard) Music to my ears! (evil laugh)
Born Lucky: Given who's playing him. Of note, he's the only member of the goblin party whose roll improves after singing his song, rather than getting even worse.
Cruel and Unusual Death: A master of this. Kills the Cleric by knocking her head off like a golf-ball with his quarterstaff. Kills the Bard by shoving said staff straight through his mouth and out the back of his head. He attempts a third one on the Wizard by using the Bard's head, still stuck to his staff, as an improvised projectile, but misses the attack roll.
Drunken Master: Complete with Booze-Based Buff.
Eye Scream: Implied.
Mezek: I have Stunning Fist.
Browntooth: And lovely eyes.
Mezek: One of them's mine!
Hero Killer: Particularly needs to be stressed for him, as he not only kills two members of the adventuring party, he does it with two HDYWTDT's in a row on the same turn!
Off with His Head!: Decapitates the enemy Cleric with a golf-swing from his quarterstaff, which Matt justifies as the head catching the metal of her armor.

Grizznak

Grizznak Snompstork

Played by: Ivan Van Norman

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grizznak_by_nicklas_andersson.png

Class: "Fartmage" (Sorcerer)

Butt-Monkey: Suffers the most out of all the goblins, and it is also funny because Ivan fully embraces this role.
Epic Fail: His performance during the final battle has to be seen to be believed. The re-roll from his goblin song for his Fire Sneeze spell is a Natural 1, causing him to literally sneeze himself into unconsciousness.
Friendly Rival: He and Snizzler try to out-explode each other.
In Love with Your Carnage: Hinted at towards Piglet, when he his face is paralyzed into a look of awe after he sees her go into a rage.
Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Claims to be the smartest in the group, but he's a goblin, so that ain't saying much.
Miles Gloriosus: Constantly boasts about himself, with his song being an "I Am Great!" Song. But as for his actual fighting ability, see Epic Fail.
No Sense of Direction: Leads the party into a bramble patch while claiming to know the way to the town, due to a majorly botched Survival Check.
Pyromaniac: Is obsessed with making his enemies "burn and die", to the point of singing songs about it.

Snizzler

Played by: Marisha Ray

Class: Alchemist

Incredible Shrinking Man: Takes a shrinking potion to making throwing him across a gap easier. Despite Piglet's Natural 20 on the throw, he fails the acrobatics check to grip the ledge.
Kill It with Fire: Many of his bombs set enemies on fire as an added effect.
Mad Bomber: Sums up his entire character, to the point where Marisha jokes that she'll be put on Homeland Security's watch-list just for playing him.
No Sense of Direction: His attempt at correcting the mess Grizznak got them into above only leads the goblins deeper into the bramble patch.
Super Drowning Skills: Has a -4 on Swim Checks.

Iconic Heroes

The unwitting Final Boss group of "Goblins: A Pathfinder One-Shot", these defenders of Sandpoint (consisting of a wizard, cleric, bard, paladin and fighter) are actually Ezren, Kyra, Lem, Seelah and Valeros from Pathfinder canon. See the Pathfinder Iconics page for more information about them.

Boom, Headshot!: The paladin gets killed with a crossbow bolt in one ear and out the other.
Butt-Monkey: The bard, who only really manages to do anything useful in a single song to boost the courage of his companions. After that, he has two of his friends' heads fall right in front of him, two attempts to put Piglet to sleep not work, and be Impaled with Extreme Prejudice through the mouth with a quarterstaff while screaming bloody murder.
Cruel and Unusual Death: All of them - from an arrow going clean through the gaps in a helmet to two decapitations, one with a hammer, and one with a quarterstaff.
Dirty Coward: After his first attack fails, the wizard retreats into an alleyway for most of the battle until he collects himself, only firing off a magic missile once. In fact, he only manages to gather his wits by the time he is the last survivor, at which point he is utterly horrified.
Five-Second Foreshadowing: Technically they're all No Name Given since this whole adventure is from the goblins' point of view, but when you hear what they call each other...
Hero of Another Story: Well, kinda. They're the heroes of THIS story, but the player characters are the goblins instead.
Walking Spoiler: With the twist that they didn't get to walk very far.
Wehardly Knew Ye: Their first canonical battle ends in their deaths.

The Screw Job:

Members of The Clasp who assemble for a heist.

Dren

Played by Ashly Burch

Race: Halfling

Class: Rogue (Assassin)

An assassin tasked with watching over Devan, Dren is a halfling who wears her heart on her sleeve and her crossbow in the hand above it.

Anti-Villain: She really was in love with Devan, and just wanted to live happily with her.
Bad "Bad Acting": Her attempts at convincing the others she hates Devan.
Bad Liar: Is not good at hiding how much she cares about Devan.
Big "NO!": When Devan dies.
Cute Bruiser: Dren may be tiny and adorable, but she is rather effective as an assassin.
Defiant to the End: Her last actions are tearing apart the ledger Tarvis needed and spitting a haiku at her killers.
Forced to Watch: Tarvis kills Devan in front of her, to show her the price of betrayal.
Forced into Evil: Courtesy of her father, in spite of Dren's secret wish to be a poet.
Rogue Agent: She betrays the Clasp to save Devan from the imminent demise that awaits her at the end of The Caper.
Warrior Poet: Played For Laughs - Dren composes haikus at the slightest provocation.

Devan Bluebutton

Played by Laura Bailey

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/devan.jpg

Race: Halfling

Class: Sorcerer

The inside halfling for the Clasp, Devan is a self-serving gambling addict related to Adelaide Bluebutton (for better or worse). The Clasp intended to use that relationship (and the knowledge of Adelaide's estate) to infiltrate and rob the Shrew.

All There in the Manual: The only indications of her intent to betray Dren after they betray the rest comes from Liam's narration at the start. Laura plays her as just reciprocating the awkward crush on Dren. After she reveals her secret, Laura told Ashly "I didn't want to! (pointing to Liam) HE MADE ME!" showing how hard it was for Laura to portray Devan given what Liam told her (and when she tried to get out of it pre-game, he wouldn't, insisting, "No, you're all bad people.").
Asshole Victim: The first member of the team to die, killed at the hands of Tarvis. But she was planning on betraying and killing Dren later. Though Dren never knows this because Devan's killed before she can give any hints of this by Tarvis.
Black Magician Girl: The only primary spellcaster of the team, but nowhere near composed enough to be a Lady of Black Magic.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She acts like a Nice Girl outwardly, but she's really only out for herself.
Foil: To Vex'ahlia, Laura's main character. Both are greedy and related to people with power, but Vex has a clear head and people she loves dearly - Devan lacks all of the above.
The Gambling Addict: How Devan got into this mess in the first place. In a drunken gambling session, she shot off her mouth about how well she knew the Shrew's Estate. So The Clasp bought up her debts and gave her a choice: help guide a team to rob the Shrew, or die.
The Mole: Played With - As the granddaughter of the Shrew, Devan certainly knows her way around her Grandmother's Estate. The problem is that the Shrew and her are having a bit of a tiff.
The Vamp: Devan has Dren wrapped around her little finger and plans to use her to kill the rest of the team, then kill her and run.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness:
- The party, sans Dren, decide to kill her as soon as she leads them to their goal, Tarvis succeeding in it.
- Attempted to be on the giving end of this, planning on killing Dren if they succeeded in killing the rest of the party.

Delweth

Played by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn

Race: Elf

Class: Rogue (Arcane Trickster)

Delweth is a loyal member of the Clasp with a few magic tricks up her sleeve. Unfortunately for Tarvis, she isn't loyal to him and doesn't much care for being passed over while he flourishes.

Dark Action Girl: Delweth is a very effective fighter who threatens to turn Devan into a skirt or a hat.
Hyper-Competent Sidekick: When Tarvis fails due to bad rolls, she usually succeeds in his stead.
Hypocrite: Calls out Dren for betraying the group even though Delweth was planning on betraying and killing Tarvis and likely the rest of the party after finishing their mission.
Pragmatic Villainy: Unlike Dren, who doesn't do a good job of hiding her intentions to betray the group, Delweth acts perfectly friendly to Tarvis, even helping him on occasion, and doesn't even use the inter-party fight at the end as an opportunity to kill him. Unfortunately, biding her time didn't pay off, as The Shrew returned and killed everyone before she could betray Tarvis.
The Starscream: Delweth resents Tarvis and intends to use the heist as a cover to kill him.

Tarvis

Played by Travis Willingham

Race: Half Orc

Class: Rogue (Assassin)

Spireling Shenn's apprentice and leader of the team, Tarvis is destined for great things in the Clasp and trusted with the true objective of the heist — Adelaide Bluebutton's ledger.

Amusing Injuries: Whips himself in the eye due to a Natural 1 attack roll.
Butt-Monkey: Travis rolls the majority of the Natural 1-s for the entire night, making Tarvis look... underwhelming.
Didn't Think This Through: Sure, Tarvis, kill the only one with the map in her head and the only one who knows how to get through her grandmother's security measures. It's not like it will make one of your own turn on you, will it? It's not like your mark will catch up to you and land a Total Party Kill, Right? Wait, They Both DID?! Laser-Guided Karma leading to Nice Job Fixing It, Villain.
Foil: To Grog, Travis's main character. Both are big and imposing, but Tarvis is very smart, very sly, and very... not good in a fight, thanks to some bad rolls. Grog has none of these problems.
Genius Bruiser: Tarvis may be Half-Orc, but he's got an Intelligence of 18.
Oh, Crap!: When Dren shreds the ledger that was his true target after he kills Devan in front of her.
Sinister Scimitar: His primary weapon, though his results with it are... less that spectacular. He first accidentally flings it across the room with one Natural 1, then breaks it in half with another.
Undying Loyalty: To the Clasp, he is noted for being completely loyal and because of this and his skills is being groomed for success.

Obby

Obby the Rat

Played by Sam Riegel

Race: Dwarf

Class: Rogue (Thief)

Obby the Rat is a childhood friend of Tarvis and fellow member of the Clasp. He has no ulterior motives - he thinks the heist is going to go off without a hitch.

Awful Wedded Life: Implied. He admits that, despite taking care of her, he hates his wife.
Butt-Monkey: Not quite to Tarvis levels, but he makes a mention that he "is used as punishment for others." No one but Tarvis says his name right.
The Cameo: He shows up again in Sam's "Bar Room Blitz" one-shot, placing it either before or in an alternate universe from his first appearance.
Even Evil Has Standards: Even after Dren betrays the party, Obby shows concern for her. He tells her how Devan will betray her if she goes with her, and at one point, tries to convince Tarvis to spare Dren.
Family-Values Villain: More Anti Hero then villain but Obby takes family very seriously. He mentions that he hates his wife, his wife's mother, grandmother and great-grandmother but they're family so he cares for them.
I Knew It!: Once Laura admits to Ashly that she "was going to fucking betray you" during revealing the secrets segment after the end, Sam goes "Obby called it." Though to add extra zing, Travis snarks "You are NOT the father!"
Multiple-Choice Past: Has multiple explanations for why he's called "Obby the Rat".
Only Known by Their Nickname: His real name is apparently Obenthal. No one calls him that.
Properly Paranoid: Obby warns Dren not to trust Devan after the two betray the party, since Devan has already proven to be the type to betray her family. The audience knows he's completely right: Devan is planning to kill Dren later. But Sam was unaware of this at the time.
The Sneaky Guy: Has the special ability to perform Sleight-Of-Hand as a Bonus Action after attacking.
Sheep in Sheep's Clothing: His secret is... he has no secrets. Because Liam thought that would be funny.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In "Bar Room Blitz", he flees when the Bar Brawl breaks out and doesn't appear again for the rest of the game.
Token Good Teammate: Downplayed. Obby is the only PC with no secrets or intentions to betray the rest of the team.
Undying Loyalty: Obby has been friends with Tarvis since childhood and would do anything for him.

Bar Blitz One Shot Characters

The stars of Sam's one-shot campaign, played while five of the regulars were at Burning Man 2017. They mostly have nothing in common, save that they were all in The Ass Sailor and worked together (sorta) to rescue a girl.

Jayne

Jayne Merriweather

Played by: Liam O'Brien

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jayne_portrait.jpg

Race: Human

Class: Cleric (Death Domain)

A young wisp of a girl, who is very strange. Serves the Chained Oblivion.

Ax-Crazy: Definitely unstable, to the point of killing on a whim.
Jayne: (giggles softly) Sorry. I was just imagining you burnt to a crisp.
Bad Powers, Bad People: A Death Domain cleric servant of the Chained Oblivion.
Bait-and-Switch: She's introduced wearing a holy symbol of the Lawbearer. During the bar fight, she rips it off in disgust and tosses it away. It's not until three quarters into the session that her true allegiance is made clear.
Compelling Voice: She uses Command to try and make off with Holly.
Cop Killer: When being interrogated, she sets the constable interrogating her on fire on a whim.
Creepy Child: She comes across as this even before it becomes evident she is evil, due to her quiet manner and appearance. Played with, as according to Liam she is not a minor, but the descriptions given all give the impression of the characters believing her to be.
Sam: You're so freaky.
Mary Elizabeth: It's the girl from The Ring with white hair.
Creepy Monotone: Maintains one throughout the session, no matter how homicidal she becomes.
Eye Beams: Casts Sacred Flame from her eyes when bound.
Hell-Bent for Leather: She wears quite a bit of white leather underneath her cloak.
It Runs in the Family: "It" being allegiance to the Chained Oblivion and a less-than-stable mental state.
Light Is Not Good: She's an albino cleric dressed in white with some light-based abilities... who serves the Chained Oblivion, seeking to bring about The End of the World as We Know It.
Make Them Rot: Inflict Wounds is said to "rot [victims] from the inside out'', especially at level two. Liam describes it as "necrotic, black energy of death."
Mask of Sanity: While creepy, she is capable of maintaining an air of stability if needed, at least for short lengths of time, hiding behind a guise of "innocence" and adherence to the principles of the Lawbearer. Underneath, she's an insane worshipper of an apocalyptic deity.
Necromancer: Played with. She doesn't actually raise the dead, but her concentration on the Death Domain grants her necromantic spells, even on top of her use of Chill Touch and Inflict Wounds from non-Domain spells.
Older Than They Look: Downplayed Trope. The cast believes she is a minor, but she is stated to be above legal age. All this really means is that she isn't an actual child.
Omnicidal Maniac: Makes this absolutely clear to Clothesline by admitting her allegiance.
Jayne: I am a servant of the Chained Oblivion. And I want everything destroyed.
Playing with Fire: She can use Sacred Flame, and does to immolate a constable interrogating her.
Religion of Evil: She worships the Chained Oblivion, hiding it with a symbol of the Lawbearer.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: With the Salamander defeated and half the party attacking her, she makes a run for it. She gets pretty far, too, before the constables arrive.
Soft-Spoken Sadist: Doesn't raise her voice above a soft whisper even as she casually, brutally murders people.
Token Evil Teammate: Made clear after the break.
Jayne: [to Clothesline] I am not a very nice person.
Touch of Death: Her Inflict Wounds spell more or less acts this way; she one-hit kills a hostile bar patron with it, and nearly kills Clothesline with it. Her whip also instantly kills anyone it strikes under a certain HP threshold, though she never got to use that ability.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: She tries to cast Chill Touch on Clothesline during the bar fight, then tries to off her entirely as soon as things seem to be wrapping up with the Salamander, and she very nearly gets away with it, too.

Frankfurt

Played by: Eric Bauza

Race: Dwarf

Class: Paladin (Oath of Vengeance)

A dwarf who is introduced traveling with Obby The Rat and Holly. His village was obliterated by the Chained Oblivion's followers. Kingston found him in his wife's bed in the past.

Berserk Button: Anything to do with the Chained Oblivion, as Jayne finds out.
Healing Hands: He has access to Lay on Hands.
Meaningful Name: Frankfurt is a synonym for wiener, and Kingston knows it.
Odd Friendship: Appears to be friends with Obby the Rat, despite him being a paladin and Obby being a thief.
One Phone Call: Jokingly played with, as Frankfurt asks for his "one courier pigeon" and to speak with his lawyer.
The Paladin: Is of the class of Paladin, and has the associated magic and armor, but it is unclear which deity he is aligned toward.

Kingston

Kingston LaForge

Played by: Brian Wayne Foster

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kingston_portrait.jpg

Race: Drow

Class: Bard (College of Lore)

A former circus singer who left once his voice cracked in puberty. Had a wife and child, but found Frankfurt in his bed. Now works as a prostitute in the Ass Sailor.

Abhorrent Admirer: He doesn't miss a single opportunity to make a pass at Clothesline, who quickly reminds him why she has her name.
Kingston: I'm not saying I have a type, but my preferred terrain is a litterbox.
The Alcoholic: He's racked up quite the tab at The Ass Sailor.
Berserk Button: Frankfurt. Doubled once Frankfurt's pants go.
Butt-Monkey: Absolutely nothing goes his way. His complete inability to land any hits on Frankfurt just exacerbate it.
Famed In-Story: He's a fairly prolific novelist; Gryffin is a big fan of his books.
It's All About Me: Even when talking about his wife, he folds into how "together", he wrote amazing books.
Likes Older Women: He's very into older women.
Nay-Theist: "Fuck the gods!" he says to a cleric.
Quirky Bard: He is definitely not what might come to mind when you think "bard" or "beloved novelist."
Really 700 Years Old: Claims to be over 100.
Walking Shirtless Scene: As a result of his Battle Strip. The result is arguably Fan Disservice.

Gryffin

Gryffin Errondil

Played by: Mary Elizabeth McGlynn

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gryffin_portrait.jpg

Race: Half-Elf

Class: Sorcerer (Wild Magic)

A princess from a town hidden by the eclipse. Fell out of her city a week and a half ago, coinciding with a Real Life eclipse. Desires meeting Holly to help return home.

Brief Accent Imitation: Whenever her wild magic takes over, her posh British accent changes to a stereotypical New Jersey accent.
Damage Reduction: As her main element is fire, she has resistance against fire damage.
An Ice Person: She employs some ice spells to wondrous effect when fighting the Salamander.
The Knights Who Say "Squee!": She's a very big fan of Kingston's books, claiming to have read them all.
Power Incontinence: As a consequence of being a wild mage, her magic doesn't always do what she wants.
Playing with Fire: Fire is her natural element—she throws out a few Fire Bolts during the bar fight, and is able to resist the Salamander's attacks.
Supernatural Gold Eyes: According to her character portrait, her eyes are entirely gold, sclerae and all.
You Can't Go Home Again: She was pushed out of her city, Illyria, during its solar eclipse-induced appearance in the material plane and was unable to return before it disappeared again. She can't return until the next solar eclipse, and needs Holly's help to figure out when and where it'll be.

Clothesline

Played by: Ashly Burch

Race: Tabaxi

Class: Fighter (Champion)

A Cat Girl with a severe chip on her shoulder.

Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: Oh, she's plenty happy to be alive after Jayne betrays her (again). She just hates that it's because of Kingston.
Does Not Like Magic: Hates all magic users, and according to Ashly she decided to hate Gryffin because of her Supernatural Gold Eyes showing her to be using magic in some way.
Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Played with. She loses her pants during the bar fight and claims to be "Donald Ducking it." Sam assures her that her furry lady bits are on full display.
No, You:
Constable: What's with your face, lady?
Clothesline: What's with yours, bastard?
Constable: ...Fair enough.
Only Known by Their Nickname: Everyone in her village gets one based on their favorite thing. Hers is clotheslining people. Others were saddled with "Porn".
Trademark Favorite Food: Her usual order at the bar is a saucer of milk with a side of catnip.

Honey Heists^notePossibly (likely) non-canon.

Trinket

Played by: Matthew Mercer

Race: Bear (Grizzly)

Class: Thief

See his section on Critical Role: Vox Machina.

Cookie

Played by: Liam O'Brien

Race: Bear (Sun Bear)

Class: Brains (Honey Heist 1)/Face (Honey Heist 2)

Everything Sounds Sexier in French: Putting on the accent and throwing in random French words somehow allows Cookie to convince some guards he's a human even when not wearing a hat.
The Lancer: Serves as Trinket's most combative underling and also the most likely other contender for the leader of the bunch.
The Nose Knows: As a Sun Bear, gets a bonus to sniffing out honey.
The Smart Guy: As the Brains in the first heist. Still very much like this in the second, with increased charisma from being The Face.

Waffle

Played by: Taliesin Jaffe

Race: Bear (Sun Bear)

Class: Hacker (Honey Heist 1)/Brains (Honey Heist 2)

Hollywood Hacking: Taken to the absolute limit, where Waffle gets advantage if he can work use of the word "hack" into his actions, such as "hacking" at something with his claws. Played straighter when they find the scrying mirrors and he gains the ability to teleport through them.
The Nose Knows: As a sun bear, he gets a bonus to sniffing out honey.
Not Completely Useless: Unsurprisingly, "The Hacker" applies very little in a fantasy world...without creative twisting of the English language involved, that is. And then they find the scrying mirror security system...
The Smart Guy: Subverted. He's played as Cookie's less intelligent brother, but is still The Brains in the second heist, and was The Hacker in the first.

Peddy Tuxpin

Played by: Sam Riegel

Race: Panda

Class: Muscle (Honey Heist 1)/Driver (Honey Heist 2)

Big Eater: Befitting a panda. He's quite hungry during the first heist, and ends up very happy that the sample spoons at the festival are made of bamboo.
The Big Guy: His role in the first heist, and he also sometimes fills the roll in the second despite no longer being The Muscle.
Does This Remind You of Anything?: In the second heist, he's coming off a "meat bender" and is extremely addled and shaky.

Liam Las Vegas

Played by: Brian W. Foster

Race: Honey Badger

Class: Driver (Honey Heist 1)/Muscle (Honey Heist 2)

The Big Guy: Being an aggressive honey badger, he wants to be this during the first heist, and is overjoyed to be The Muscle for the second.
The Driver: His main role in the first campaign, and is so good at it he was able to teach Peddy to be it for the second. Also did driving for Vinnie the Pooh.
The Napoleon: Does not react well to being reminded he's much smaller than the bears.

Tova

Played by: ND Stevenson

Race: Dwarf (Werebear)

Class: Brains

See her entry under Guest Party Members.

Bearah Pawcett

Played by: Krystina Arielle

Race: Bear

Class: Hacker

Nerds Are Sexy: Bearah is played by Krystina with a throaty voice, vamping to the hilt.
Playful Hacker: She's the team Hacker after all.

Clair McFuzz

Played by: Britanny Walloch-Key

Race: Honey Badger

Class: Thief

Calling Card: Whenever she steals something, she leaves the robbed party a box of McFuzz's Signature Fudge. When she fails to subdue a local, she tries to placate him with fudge.
Fastball Special: She gets hurled at a fleeing Crispin Glover by Drew.
Southern Belle: She speaks in a thick Southern accent.

Drew Bearymoore

Played by: Dani Carr

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/drew_bearrymore_by_joana_carvalho.jpg

Race: Polar Bear

Class: Muscle

The Big Girl: She's a very strong polar bear and is the team's Muscle.
Cloud Cuckoolander: She is rather... eccentric, keeping fresh strawberries in her fur. Her excitable personality and frenzied eye movements do not help.
Everyone Has Standards: She lampshades that, as eccentric as she is, she recognizes that Bearsley's evil motivations fall apart under scrutiny.
You're really dumb, and I'm saying that!
Genki Girl: Is incredibly excitable, especially at the beginning of the session.
Mad Eye: Neither of her eyes ever seem to settle.
Talk to the Fist: Threatens Bearsley with a punch to the face.

Grizz Leigh Bayer

Played by: Mary Elizabeth McGlynn

Race: Bear

Class: Driver

A Dog Named "Dog": Thanks to her Punny Name, which is literally pronounced "grizzly bear".
Broken Pedestal: Her admiration - to the point of flirting - for Bearsley is shattered into a million pieces when they learn he is the mastermind behind the theft of the Ballootonium.
Cluster F-Bomb: Is especially furious at Bearsley and communicates her fury quite colourfully.
Southern-Fried Genius: Knows her way around cars as The Driver, and Mary Elizabeth played her with the same Texas twang in her voice that she's use later for "Coach Brunt" in Netflix's Carmen Sandiego cartoon. That Mary dressed in a black cowgirl outfit, complete with black hat and bear claws, helped sell the voice.

The Midnight Maven

Played by: Laura Bailey

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/midngiht_maven_by_joana_carvalho.jpg

Race: Bear

Class: Face

Everything Sounds Sexier in French: The Maven speaks with a sultry French accent.
I Have Boobs, You Must Obey!: She tries to seduce Crispin Glover by shaking her hips.
Separated by a Common Language: Unfortunately, her efforts to seduce Crispin Glover are thwarted by the fact that she is a bear.

Wildemount One-Shots

Capo

Played by: Stephen Colbert

Race: Half-Elf
Class: Bard (College of Lore)

Looking for all the world like yet another tourist at the Menagerie Coast, Capo is actually here to solve the mystery of a series of disappearances, the possible resurgence of an ancient evil, and the real prize, the Orb of Generosity. (Which is really the humble red clown nose, as this is actually the Red Nose Day 2019 event.)

Friend to All Children: While he started out merely solving a mystery, it's not till the Sword of Plot Advancement is before him that he speaks his true purpose in life - to alleviate children's poverty.
Friend to Bugs: Capo's Familiar, Eric the Bee. Every bit a friend to Capo as a companion, if Stephen's reaction after Eric was smashed by the lich was any indication.
Genre Savvy: It's like he was weaned on an earlier version of D&D in another lifetime...
"Do not get on that f-ckng bridge. That's what I've learned."
Guile Hero: Capo generally sticks with his Compelling Voice rather than resort to offensive spells.
Irony: Stephen Colbert actually spent the better part of a decade playing D&D but never really tried out the bard class - the whole reason he's a bard now is a fan vote, largely because it's so similar to what he does now.
Meaningful Name: A capo is actually a tool that grips all the strings of a guitar on the same fret, to fix the octave upon command.
Shock and Awe: This half-elf bard can cast Thunderwave.
Take Up My Sword: The only way to beat Zathkira is with the very sword used by the last person to fight him, the knight Shiona... who died in the attempt. No pressure!

Lucky Jack

Played by: Stephen Colbert

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lj.png

Race: Human
Class: Fighter

Celibate Hero: As part of his service to Arioch, Duke of Chaos, although he admits that "we do a little, cos it's a Temple of Chaos."
Contrasting Sequel Main Character:
- While Capo was a more bookish hero who deliberately skirted around conflict, Lucky Jack is more active and assertive, with his past trauma leaving him with Hair-Trigger Temper.
- The Exalting Sword is all about hyping up the wielder and goading him into combat, while the talking battleaxe is very non-confrontational.
Dented Iron: Lucky Jack had his tendons slashed by Madrak's people and was left to bleed out, and the resulting therapy havily implies he'd had to rebuild from scratch to reach level 5.
Dual Wielding: Carries a sword and handaxe into battle.
Genre Savvy: Not as much as Capo - he points out immediately that a campfire is a terrible idea if you're avoiding detection, but at the same time, actually going by "Lucky Jack" is a massive case of Tempting Fate.
Legacy Character: His bee familiar, Eric II, who's descended from the original Eric in the previous Red Nose Day adventure.
My Greatest Failure: The attack on his temple, the death of his priestess, and finally being maimed and left for dead.
Scars Are Forever: A huge one over his left eye, which begs the question of just how lucky Jack really is.

The Lorelei Family

A noble family hailing from western Wildemount, long cursed with the power of lycanthropy. They featured in the one-shot "Song of the Lorelei" while Matt, Marisha, and Taliesin were at Burning Man 2018.

The Lorelei Family

Tropes applying to the family as a whole

Always Identical Twins: Actually averted - Lawrence and Benecio are established as twins, but seem to be fraternal from the artwork. Despite this, their miniatures frequently get mistaken for each other.
Blue Blood: The Loreleis are all nobility.
Color Motif: All of their clothing is predominantly green, which is the Lorelei family color. Green is associated with nature, which fits with them being werewolves.
Dysfunctional Family: Ignoring the families history that complicates things even more, the current family does not really get along very well. Portia gets it the worst of the five, being very judgemental of her siblings, and tends to cause friction with the others.
Five-Man Band:
- The Leader: Aurra. As the eldest, she takes the lead frequently.
- The Lancer: Portia. She is the eldest sibling to stay true to the family traditions, and she has some conflict with Aurra because of her perceived abandonment of duty.
- The Smart Guy: Lawrence. He's the brains to his twin's brawn.
- The Big Guy: Benicio. He's the brawn to his twin's brains.
- The Heart: Lucius. As a dedicated cleric, he's the nicest and least combative of his siblings instead focusing on healing.
Not Quite Human: It turns out that their grandfather, Geneviève Lorelei's lover, is a drow.
Our Werewolves Are Different: The entire family can shift into anthropomorphic wolf forms at will.
Pointy Ears: Their ears are just the slightest bit pointed, reflecting their quarter-drow heritage.

Aurra

Aurra Lorelei

Played by: Erica Luttrell

Race: Human/Drow

Class: Druid (Circle of the Moon)

The eldest daughter of the Lorelei family. She forwent The Taming, the family's traditional coming of age as a werewolf, in order to live in and learn from the wild.

Black Sheep: She turned her back on the family's traditions and civilization as a whole.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She might, as Benny puts it, see herself as "better" than the rest for her choices, but she genuinely does care for her family and is in near tears at the loss of their great-aunt.
Nature Hero: Aurra embraced her wolf side more thoroughly than any of the others, casting aside society and nobility to live as a druid.
The Nose Knows: Her closeness with nature and her wolf abilities have given her a powerful sense of smell. She puts it to good use tracking their father.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: Not just her werewolf abilities—she can also wild shape as a Druid. She takes the werewolf thing a level deeper in the fight against the Iron Woe by shifting from her werewolf form into a dire wolf.

Lucius

Lucius Lorelei

Played by: T.J. Storm

Race: Human/Drow

Class: Cleric (Moon Domain)

The second-eldest Lorelei. He felt the call of the Moonweaver and left home to train as a cleric.

Badass Preacher: He's a cleric of the Moonweaver, and can deal some serious damage despite staying out of the thick of combat.
Beware the Nice Ones: He's the nicest of the siblings...which doesn't stop him from using Toll The Dead on an already injured woman and then walking away when that doesn't fully kill her, due to her being responsible for the attack on his family's home and the death of those within except for their father.
Lunacy: As a Moon Domain Cleric, he gets moon-themed abilities like the Moonbeam and Faerie Fire spells. He also can halve the speed of someone hit by an attack with Mark of Waning, and provide aid to those trying to make Wisdom saving throws by shining a light into the darkest moments with Luminous Revelation.
Meaningful Name: His name means "light," as associated with his higher calling to a goddess and his use of light-based lunar magic.
Not So Above It All: He acts pious (and maybe a little self-righteous) but he also yells "Fuck her up!" when Aurra is fighting Ray, and brags to Benicio about how much sex he has.
Really Gets Around: The Moonweaver is the goddess of secret trysts, after all, so Lucius has gotten, in his words, "a lot of action."

Portia

Portia Lorelei

Played by: Laura Bailey

Race: Human (Mark of Passage)/Drow

Class: Blood Hunter (Order of the Lycan)

The third of the Lorelei children. She stayed home to learn her family's responsibilities as nobility.

Berserk Button: She does not take it well when Aurra considers taking their fathers sword when they arming themselves to go find him. This stems from the below trope; the idea of someone taking what should be hers, especially someone who gave up said chance, angers her greatly.
Daddy's Girl: Implied; at the end she's quick to add on that their father loves her the most.
The Dutiful Son: Portia certainly sees herself this way, especially compared to Aurra (who took to the woods) - which is why she feels she deserves to wield their father's sword.
Expy: She's essentially a more upper-class version of Vex, down to Laura speaking in the same voice, and having roughly the same personality.
Hunter of Monsters: As an Order of the Lycan blood hunter, is essentially a werewolf hunter.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's rough and a bit blunt about how much she views her siblings, and tends to be on the haughty side. However, she still does love her siblings, and despite her judgemental side, still seems to look out for them.
Meaningful Name: Portia is also the name of one of Uranus's moons.
Teleporters and Transporters: She has Shared Passage, which allows her to teleport forty feet.

Lawrence

Lawrence "Larry" Lorelei

Played by: Travis Willingham

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lawrence_lorelei.png

Race: Human/Drow

Class: Blood Hunter (Order of the Lycan)

The youngest of the Lorelei family, and twin brother of Benicio. He's studious and meticulous.

The Baby of the Bunch: While he and Benicio are twins, the group as a whole see him this way, which doesn't help that he is much more sensitive than the other siblings, to the point where he couldn't even handle seeing the severed hand of their father and had to exit the room. The group outright refers to him as the baby of the group at one point.
Brains and Brawn: With his brother. He's the brains.
Hunter of Monsters: As an Order of the Lycan blood hunter, is essentially a werewolf hunter.
Shout-Out Theme Naming: With his twin brother. He is named after Lawrence "Larry" Talbot.
Unexplained Accent: Discussed. He has a nasal, snobbish accent than none of his other siblings do. He justifies it by saying he picked it up from his tutors.
Vocal Dissonance: He looks like someone you'd expect Travis to use either his normal voice, or just an accented variation of his voice instead. It can be quite jarring to hear Travis speaking in a more high pitched voice with an accent that really seems out of place for how he normally talks.

Benicio

Benicio "Benny" Lorelei

Played by: Sam Riegel

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/benicio_lorelei.png

Race: Human/Drow

Class: Blood Hunter (Order of the Lycan)

The youngest of the Lorelei family, and the twin brother of Lawrence. He's brawny and...not the brightest of the bunch.

Brains and Brawn: With his brother. He's the brawn.
Big Brother Bully: Despite being his twin (and it's not clear which is the older), Benecio is this to Lawrence, to the point of invoking one of his Blood Hunter abilities to puppet a corpse to give Lawrence a wedgie.
Covered with Scars: He has a lot of scars over his whole body.
Hunter of Monsters: As an Order of the Lycan blood hunter, is essentially a werewolf hunter.
Jerkass Has a Point: Though he's rude about it, he's not wrong that Aurra thinks she's "better" than her family just for turning her back on traditions and embracing her wild side.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's rough around the edges, but is quick to help his family and makes a point of guarding Aurra's back more than once.
Shout-Out Theme Naming: With his twin. He is named after Benicio del Toro, who played Lawrence "Larry" Talbot in the 2010 remake of The Wolf Man (1941).
Sleeves Are for Wimps: He's the dumb muscle of the family and does not wear sleeves.
Vocal Dissonance: Looking at his above image, you'd be surprised to know he's voiced by Sam Riegel, who, even using the deepest voice he has, does not sound very deep.

Other One-Shots

Deadlands One-Shot

Juniper "Stinky Jules" Lanley

Played by: Laura Bailey

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stinky_jules_by_nicklas_andersson.png

Race: Human

American Accents: Has a rather thick Texan drawl.
Badass Normal: In contrast to the rest of the party, she works with nothing but her six-shooter and sheer guts.
Brutal Honesty: Does not mince words at all, which makes her a relatively trustworthy person to be around, attitude notwithstanding.
Do Not Call Me "Paul": Threatens to shoot anybody who calls her "Juniper Langley" in the mouth.
The Face: By default, as the rest of the party comprises a reverend and two foreigners.
The Gunslinger: She is quite skilled with her six shooter.
Hates Baths: It's how she got her nickname. In fact, she's unfamiliar enough with baths that when given a bar of soap by the Reverend, she thinks he's giving her something to eat, and doesn't even seem to initially know what soap is.
In-Series Nickname: Everybody calls her "Stinky Jules".
The Nicknamer: Gives out a few herself, including "Smarts" to Sydney and "Sue" to Sudas.
The Pigpen: If her aversion to bathing and In-Series Nickname didn't make it clear.
Screaming Warrior: She lets out an impressive primal scream while fanning her revolver into the monster in the mine.
Son of a Whore: Her mother was an "escort."
Tear Off Your Face: Cy Tolliver, as a werewolf, tears off her face.

Forrest Alton

Reverend Forrest Alton

Played by: Liam O'Brien

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reverend_forrest_alron_by_nicklas_andersson.png

Race: Human

Badass Preacher: He's a Union Army chaplain.
Chronic Hero Syndrome: Having "Heroic" as his Hindrance means he's compelled to behave in this way.
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Near exclusively called "Reverend" or "Rev."
Gutted Like a Fish: Sydney guts him from bottom to top with a knife.
Healing Hands: He's able to bring about healing miracles via his faith in God.
Hearing Voices: Begins hearing something though he isn't certain if it is an angel or a demon, at times. The way it talks does hint toward it being The Corrupter, and thus a demon, though. Given that he is implied to be Dragged Off to Hell, the assumption is correct.
Improbable Weapon User: His primary weapon is a sharpened crucifix.
Religion is Magic: As a Blessed character, his faith healing actually has magical power.
Straight Man: Deliberately identified as such by Liam in comparison to the others. Considering they range from Stinky Jules to Sudas to Sydney, he has a point.
White Mage: His main skill set revolves around benevolent magic, from healing to enhancing weaponry to fight evil.

Sudas Alifehr

Played by: Marisha Ray

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sudis_alifehr_by_nicklas_andersson.png

Race: Human

Boom, Headshot!: Gets the top of her head blown off by E.B. Farnum.
Fortune Teller: Her stated profession.
Funny Foreigner: Her foreign acts are played up, though given the lack of enthusiasm around magic in the area, on top of her acting as a foreigner in the 19th century, she is given the least leeway in terms of how much people are willing to trust her.
In-Series Nickname: "Sue," courtesy of Stinky Jules.
Magical Romani: Plays up this side of things, with her fortune telling seeming to be genuinely mystical at times, though it's up to Marisha to actually realize this.
Real After All: Due to a donation suggestion, her fortunes actually come true, though Matt doesn't outright tell her this is what is happening.
What the Hell Is That Accent?: Speaks in a vaguely-Eastern European accent. She's semi-jokingly stated to hail from Romania, by way of The Bronx.

Sydney Hopkins Trivelpiece

Played by: Travis Willingham

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sydent_hopkubs_trivelpiece_by_nicklas_andersson.png

Race: Human (actually Rakshasa)

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Turns out he's actually a serial-killing Rakshasa.
Evil Sounds Deep: His actual voice is very deep, unlike his high pitched one in his act. Fitting into the "evil" part of it, the first time he uses it overtly is when he stabs Charlie Utter in the gut and twists the knife to re-open his wound.
Fauxreigner: In-Universe. He claims to be from England, but when pressed, he says he is from "Tawnyland" and "Shephardshire," both of which give even other players pause and together force him to make a deception check. He's actually a Rakshasa, and not from England at all.
Foil: Of a sort. He is in almost every way the complete opposite of Grog, from his stature down to his voice.
Jack the Ripoff: The English accent on top of his Psycho Knife Nut Serial Killer shtick completes this trope.
The Killer in Me: The "Secretive Killer" version, which catches everyone but Liam by surprise.
Laura: Wait, are you— is he stabbin' 'im?
Liam: Yeah, he's a faker, yeah. Big surprise.
Lean and Mean: He's noted to be very thin, and is a serial killer.
The Mole: He was working with Cy Tolliver the entire time, and personally kills Forrest.
Nothing Up My Sleeve: He keeps Bowie knives in his sleeves and boot.
Obfuscating Stupidity: His entire Upper-Class Twit affectation is just an act. His actual voice is much deeper, and he is a supernatural serial killer.
Precision F-Strike: While facing off against Cy Tolliver the werewolf in the mines, notable especially because he switches accents halfway through:
"Once more unto the fuckin' breach."
Psycho Knife Nut: His weapon of choice is a Bowie knife. Heavy on the "nut" part, in that it's first shown he even has one when he guts Charlie Utter.
Serial Killer: What he actually is.
Sole Survivor: The only member of the party to survive... because he was The Mole the entire time.
The Teetotaler: He doesn't drink alcohol, but enjoys "a good clean glass of water."
Totally Not a Werewolf: Once some of his secret is found out by the players, they try to see if he is a werewolf, seeing a they are looking for one. This includes throwing him some silver to see if he reacts, but he doesn't. That's because he is a Rakshasa, not a werewolf.
Verbal Ticked: He drops his Upper-Class Twit affectations a couple times when he gets sufficiently pissed off. This serves to foreshadow that there's a bit more to him than meets the eye.
Wham Line: "Well, some people don't get to escape death."

Liam's Quest

Laura Bailey

Played by: Laura Bailey

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/younglauraportrait_by_kendrawcandraw.jpg

Race: Human

Class: Rogue

Dirty Coward: After Travis is killed by the Demagorgon, Laura just books it. To be fair, Travis was completely cool with this action.
Improvised Weapon: She uses some sticks that she found in the swamp as her weapons in the second part.
Undying Loyalty: Laura stabbed one of the Liams in revenge to protect Travis.
Laura: I'm gonna protect my husband!

Taliesin Jaffe

Played by: Taliesin Jaffe

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/youngtaliesinportrait_by_kendrawcandraw.jpg

Race: Human

Class: Warlock

Combat Tentacles: Particularly in the first part, Taliesin was able to make his hand turn into tentacles to fight the Liam copies.
Crazy-Prepared: As shown in the first part, he already is prepared for the apocalypse, and unlike pretty much everyone else, just kind of accepts that it is going on instead of panicking.
Taliesin: (after seeing Liam float into the air, split in half, turn into a collection of smaller Liams that deal horrible damage to the crew nearby and leave) If I can get to my car, I think I have a kit for this...
Travis: That does not surprise me about you one bit.
(later)
Taliesin: I had six extra arrows in the trunk of my car...
Creepy Child: He's been reverted to a child in the second session, and is still a Warlock.
Deal with the Devil: His solution to being confronted with a demon horde is to immediately sell out and swear his fealty to the dark powers. And it isn't the first time, either.
Goth Girls Know Magic: He's as Goth as ever (even if, when reverted to his seven-year-old self, he doesn't exactly look it) and he's a warlock.
An Ice Person: He uses Chill Touch frequently when fighting monsters.
Innocent Blue Eyes: Subverted. Taliesin has very bright blue eyes and his kid self is described as looking very cherubic, but he's still a Creepy Child warlock with magic granted by eldritch beings.
Noodle Incident: He once was in a situation similar to demons attacking and immediately swore fealty to Satan. We don't get the details, though.
Taliesin: And this has kind of happened to me before.
Sam: The whole monster thing?
Taliesin: This whole thing has kind of happened. And, this is true, I'm going to say what I said last time. [...] This is true, and you might know this. "Mister Satan dude, we are totally ready to serve you!" This is literally what I said last time this happened.
Seen It All: Unlike everybody else panicking as the world collapses, he just kind of seems to accept it, and even seems to have prepared for it just in case.
Summon Magic: During his fight with the Demogorgon, he summons an adult version of himself as a spectral assistant. Unfortunately, it disappears when he dies.

Sam Riegel

Played by: Sam Riegel

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/youngsamportrait_by_kendrawcandraw.jpg

Race: Human

Class: Ranger

The Beastmaster: In the first part of Liam's Quest, he is able to command his friend's pug, Bixby, to retrieve items and attack for him.
Blood-Splattered Innocents: When Travis is torn to pieces by the Demogorgon, Travis's blood lands all over Sam's face.
Deal with the Devil: When faced with the Demogorgon, Sam attempts to bargain with it and offers his various services if it spares his life.
Sam: We serve the darkness as you do! We will do your bidding if you will let us! Please spare our lives so that we may serve yours!
Dirty Coward: He attempts to bargain with the Demogorgon by offering it his friends' lives in place of his.
Sam: Just kill them all! They're nothing! Just save me. Just save me!
Karmic Transformation: Downplayed. After mocking Vex's role as a Ranger, and her animal companion specifically, for years in real life, Sam is of course consigned to Ranger class in the game world, complete with animal companion.
Major Injury Underreaction: While his head is being split open by the Demogorgon:
Sam: I can work with this.
Mundane Made Awesome: His favoured terrain? Recording studios.

Travis Willingham

Played by: Travis Willingham

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/youngtravisportrait_by_kendrawcandraw.jpg

Race: Human

Class: Fighter

Afraid of Blood: As he's been regressed to a child, he's very squeamish around gore (though, as some of the others point out, it's not that different from modern day).
Travis: I haven't seen an R-rated movie at this point!
Dirty Coward: Attempts to sacrifice Sam to Conan O'Brien to save his own life, and when he turns back into a child his gut reaction is to flee from fights and abandon his friends to fend for themselves.
The Mind Is The Plaything Of The Body: When he is turned into a child, even though everyone else who was turned into children is still in their adult minds, Travis seems to have actually mentally regressed into how he was at that age, complete with being terrified of everything.
Textual Celebrity Resemblance: Downplayed. His child self is explicitly compared to Vern from Stand by Me by both Liam and Travis himself. His character picture does indeed sport a polo and a similar haircut to Vern's.
Undying Loyalty: Even in the apocalypse, he'll do anything to protect his wife.

Ashley Johnson

Played by: Ashley Johnson

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/youngashleyportrait_by_kendrawcandraw.jpg

Race: Human

Class: Rogue

Blood Is the New Black: After Marisha dies, Ashley reacts by smearing Marisha's blood onto herself, possibly as an intimidation tactic, or possibly because, as Liam surmises, she's cracked from everything she's witnessed.
Liam: You guys watch in horror as your friend Ashley, pushed to the brink, crouches down and shoves her hands up into the hollowed-out ribcage of Marisha Ray, pulls her hands down, and slathers it down her face, and suddenly, we're in Lord of the Flies.
Creepy Child: She's been regressed to her young teens, and she gets incredibly disturbing and dark throughout the game, most notably, after Marisha is crushed by the Demogorgon, smearing Marisha's blood on herself and then wearing her corpse, horrifying everyone else in the party.
Defiant to the End: Ashley proceeds to mouth off at the Demogorgon even after it murders most of her friends. Even when it's about to kill her, she simply dares it to give its best shot.
Ashley: Go for it, let's see what you got, you motherfuck--
Improvised Weapon: She fashions a rope out of vine, uses rocks as projectile weapons, and attempts to make a slingshot using the tendon of one of the dead skinless cats.
Innocent Blue Eyes: Subverted. She has blue eyes, but she spends the entire episode doing increasingly unsettling and violent acts. According to the Talks Machina for this episode, the description Liam sent to the artist for Ashley's character art was, "I look kind of innocent, but I'm really fucked up inside."
Knows the Ropes: She uses a vine as an improvised rope to help fight the skinless cat tearing into Laura.
Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: Ashley's impulse tends to be to go dark as Hell, as seen when she keeps a dead skinless cat on her belt as an accessory, biting into that skinless cat as an intimidation tactic, or when she tries to bargain with Demogorgon by wearing Marisha's torso on her head.
Power Gives You Wings: In the first part of Liam's Quest, she gains white wings and glows when healing Laura, Travis, Sam, and Taliesin.
Sir Swears-a-Lot: She curses the most out of all of the party, particularly when trying to intimidate the creatures that attack them.
Ashley: (at the skinless cats) All right, you motherfuckers! You better turn around and leave or I’m going to kill every last motherfucking one of you!
Terror Hero: Her main strategy with the foes she faces in the second part of the one-shot is to intimidate the fuck out of them through increasingly terrifying and insane means, from holding up a dead skinless cat to scare all the other live skinless cats off, to wearing Marisha's corpse on her head to scare the Demogorgon.

Race: Human

Class: Bard

Battle Couple: With Marisha.
Beware the Nice Ones: He goes from being an adorable bard who plays support most of the time to vengeful and angry when Marisha dies.
Cutscene Power to the Max: In the first part of Liam's Quest, he and Marisha are 20th Level NPCs. As PCs, they're on par with the rest of the party. Justified due to being regressed to teenagers.
Defiant to the End: His last actions before being killed by the Demogorgon is simply to flip it off.
Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: Just before being killed by the Demogorgon, which has at this point killed off most of his friends, Matt, steeled by his sheer anger about Marisha's death, flips it off.
Future Badass: In the first part of Liam's Quest, he and Marisha show up as high level NPCs, seemingly having lived in this post-apocalyptic setting for some time, and he easily takes out some of the O'Brien lich with his bard powers.
Healing Hands: Using Healing Word to heal Marisha. However, he proceeds to not do the same for Laura, earning him a Death Glare from her.
The Heart: Inspires the group to stay together and keep going, and is the first one to refuse Liam's request to kill him and save themselves.
Heart Is an Awesome Power: At one point, Liam as DM describes him casting Thunderwave as "just out of the pureness of Matthew Mercer’s heart and soul [...] in a moment of crisis, your heart and care for your friends bursts out of the microphone system, we hear it everywhere, distorted, but certainly a blast of fucking force."
I Shall Taunt You: Used Vicious Mockery a number of times in the game, most notably against the Demagorgon:
Matt: I know everything about you. I've seen your pictures. I've read every single aspect of your existence. And here's the fun part: When it all comes down to it, you're just a figment of some fat guy's imagination! ...Vicious Mockery.
Purple Prose: He indulges in this when giving inspiration.
Matt: Ashley! Continue to prove your savagery! Chew deep and revel in the insanity, as this day, we prove our mettle against the force of darkness!
Quirky Bard: Subverted — while Matt is a bard class here, as one of the only two spellcasters in the group he's actually very useful.
Rousing Speech: Every time he tries to Inspire his friends.
Unstoppable Rage: When Marisha dies, he goes livid, and he is so horrified and angry about her death that he casts Thunderwave and manages to dish out a good amount of damage on the Demogorgon.

Battle Couple: Her and Matt.
Cutscene Power to the Max: In the first part of Liam's Quest, she and Matt are 20th Level NPCs. As PCs, they're on par with the rest of the party. Justified due to being regressed to teenagers.
Fiery Redhead: She's described as having long red hair and is also a very angry teenager. Marisha attributes this to her "hormonal rage" due to being a teenager.
Future Badass: She shows up as a muscular Badass Biker during the first part of Liam's Quest. She destroys a tower in one strike.
Improvised Weapon: She uses a branch that she tears from a tree as a bo staff.

Shadow of War One-Shot

Arburuk

Arburuk the Unbreakable

Played by: Laura Bailey

Race: Troll (Olog-Hai)

Class: Fighter

Defiant to the End: Despite Skak and Mozuu switching sides and Eden fleeing, she continues to fight the gravewalker one-on-one despite being hopelessly surrounded, even shaking off his final attempt to brainwash her into joining his side.
In-Series Nickname: Arby (which goes rather well with all trolls being meat-eaters.)
When All You Have Is a Hammer…: Her preferred method of combat is smashing with her maul, and if she can't reach it, smashing with the last guy that tried to hit her.
Matt: It's your second attempt; his insides are basically liquefied by now...

Ur-Eden

Ur-Eden Goodthink

Played by: Sam Riegel

Race: Troll (Olog-Hai)

Class: Monk

The Heart: Rather appropriately for a monk doubling as the medic, he still believes in the Forcs even after half of them have turned traitor.
Not So Harmless: He's able to survive Skak's betrayal, after Mozuu has turned and Arby is otherwise occupied, leaving him alone.
Worst Aid: He's the team medic. And he's a troll.
"He had a rash... I ripped his skin off."

Skak

Skak Scar-Artist

Played by: Travis Willingham

Race: Goblin

Class: Rogue

Comedic Sociopathy: Let's just say that the name Scar-Artist is Not Hyperbole.

Mozuu

Mozuu the Chosen

Played by: Darin De Paul

Race: Troll (Olog-Hai)

Class: Monk

Face–Heel Turn: Mozuu finally admits he was never chosen by anyone, and accepts the Bright Lord's power...
Mad Libs Catch Phrase: Some variation of "There are two things... X... and that's it!"
"There are TWO things people do when they're scared of me! Commit suicide... and that's it!"
Small Name, Big Ego: Why the odd title of "the Chosen"? He claims to have been chosen by Sauron.

Thursday By Night (Vampire: The Masquerade One-Shot)

Laura Bailey

Played by: Laura Bailey

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vampire_laura.jpg

Race: Human (Vampire)
Clan: Toreador
Discipline: Obfuscate

Invisibility: Has use of Obfuscate, which hides her from others.
Reduced to Ratburgers: She takes to eating rats. Played with in that she seems to enjoy it.
Stealth Expert: Her Discipline lends her to be very stealthy.
Wrong Genre Savvy: Briefly thinks that vampires are allergic to water (as a misidentification of the idea that some vampires Cannot Cross Running Water), though this is not the case.

Liam O'Brien

Played by: Liam O'Brien

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vampire_liam.jpg

Race: Human (Vampire)
Clan: Nosferatu
Discipline: Presence

Ambiguously Bi: There's a lot of Homoerotic Subtext between him and Sam, especially on his part. At one point in the second part he even calls Sam his husband. It's not clear how much of this is just him messing with them, though, and given he is actually married to a woman in real life, ^note that probably translates to the story as well.
Charm Person: One of his vampiric powers, through use of "Presence: Awe." It's his go-to tactic for dealing with any situation.
Fully-Embraced Fiend: Liam adjusts really quickly to being a vampire and having to drink blood to survive, taking to drinking human blood by two hours into the stream, before any of the others. By the time they get into the sewers, he is the one most in favor of never trying to become human again.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Is given a Back Stab with a Wooden Stake by Felicia Day. Eventually, he's pinned to the floor, and presumably dies.
Manipulative Bastard: Takes to enforcing minor Mind Control on various people over the adventure all to make them into bodyguards to protect himself. Unfortunately, as he took up both Laura and Travis, he neglects to take into account The Power of Love, which ends up overriding the control of his own defense.
Nightmare Face: Befitting a Nosferatu, he has a crackled face that doesn’t seem to look quite right anymore.
Nightmare Fetishist: Really into the nastier parts of being a vampire.
Sam: I also learned that I can kill a man in... seconds flat!
Liam: That's hot.

Sam Riegel

Played by: Sam Riegel

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vampire_sam.jpg

Race: Human (Vampire)
Discipline: Celerity

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Is given a Back Stab with a Wooden Stake by Satine Phoenix.
Only Sane Man: Of the main group after Matt and Marisha die, on account of not being Liam or mind controlled by him.
Opportunistic Bastard: Attempts to play the other vampires against each other to survive, from allying with Laura against Liam to switching when alone with him. However, he isn’t nearly as bad about this as Liam.
Super-Speed: One of his vampiric abilities, via "Celerity."
Off with His Head!: While pinned to Satine Phoenix with the Wooden Stake she used on him, Sam has his head cut off by her with a knife.
Wrong Genre Savvy: All he knows about being a vampire comes from True Blood, which leads to some humorous misunderstandings.

Travis Willingham

Played by: Travis Willingham

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vampire_travis.jpg

Race: Human (Vampire)
Clan: Tremere
Discipline: Auspex

Affectionate Nickname: "Baby" or "Babe" from Laura.
Aura Vision: Has use of Aura Perception.
The Big Guy: By far the strongest of the group, though his main power is actually his Aura Vision and Super-Senses.
Fingore: First breaks his own finger as a distraction, then has it bitten clean off by Sam by accident while trying to heal it.
Super-Senses: Attention is given to his Heightened Senses, which seem to be his main power set and distinct from the others.
Token Good Teammate: Technically, on account of not having killed anyone, he is considered this and inducted to the Tremere family without anyone trying to stake him unlike the others.
Wrong Genre Savvy: Played for Laughs, as he believes he Must Be Invited, but that rule doesn't apply in the World of Darkness, and also briefly tries to fly, thinking it may be a similar situation to The Lost Boys. He also thinks that Holy Is Not Safe, though it isn't stated if that is a problem.

Matthew Mercer

Played by: Matthew Mercer

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vampire_matt.jpg

Race: Human (Vampire)

Clan: Lasombra

Cursed with Awesome: His first reaction to realizing he is a vampire due to his Missing Reflection is to say it's badass.
Missing Reflection: On account of being a Lasombra.
Not Enough to Bury: Is turned to ash by a beam of sunlight hitting him in the head.
We Hardly Knew Ye: Dies suddenly a little over an hour into the episode, by opening some curtains which turned out to be blocking a sunlit window.

Marisha Ray

Played by: Marisha Ray

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vampire_marisha.jpg

Once Upon a Fairytale Cruise

Scarecrow

Played by: H. Michael Croner

Class: Monk

"Hello, are you in love with anyone and are you open to loving someone new?"

Body Horror: His Intimidation works so well because it involves briefly unstitching his head open, scaring one of the Lost Boys to a pants-shitting degree.
The Ditz: It's the Scarecrow, who's confirmed as never really getting his brain (see above).
Stealth Pun: He gets a beautiful first-blood hit with Intimidation (and miraculously repeats the feat in the final fight). Because he's a scarecrow.
Croner: "This intimidation shit is the tits!"

The Hatter

Played by: Yuri Lowenthal

Race: Halfling

Class: Bard

Brainwashed and Crazy: Thanks to none other than the Pied Piper.
The Charmer: Not just in the usual sense of the trope, as he can cast Sleep.
Writing Around Trademarks: Given a Lampshade Hanging.
Sam: Guys by the way, little legal note here. Yuri is portraying a character tonight called The Hatter, he's not portraying a character called anything other than The Hatter, which would be the property of Disney... He's the Crazy Hatter... Because we're all on the S.S. Public Domain.

Wendy Darling

Played by: Molly Ostertag

Race: Human

Class: Druid

Cool Sword: Finds a normal long-sword inhabited by the spirit of Amy Vorpahl and she talks to the wielder. This, of course, makes it a Amy Vorpahl Sword.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: A Druid ability. She turns into a giant eagle in the first fight.

Peter Pan

Played by: ND Stevenson

Race: Half-elf

Class: Bard

Large Ham: He takes a hit in the final fight, and goes all "dying is an awfully big adventure" (except he makes it.)
Insistent Terminology: Constantly corrects people when they call him a kid

The Queen of Hearts

Played by: Amy Vorpahl

Race: Human

Class: Barbarian (Berserker)

Incoming Ham: "MOMMY'S HOOOME!!"
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Amy plays her like an inebriated Queen Victoria.

Goldilocks

Played by: Stefanie Woodburn

Race: Human

Class: Fighter (Eldritch Knight)

Dye Hard: She's gone brunette nowadays for a fresh start. (Incidentally, Stefanie really is brunette, and the character art shows brunette roots.)
Make Me Wanna Shout: How she lets off Thunderwave (not as much lightning as the name would imply).

Kobolds, Catacombs, and Dragons (Oh My!)

Greldamine Clypso

Played by: Laura Bailey

Race: Gnome

Class: Wizard

Accidental Misnaming: Gets called "Glindamine" and even "dramamine" at some points.
All-Loving Hero: What Quazirat does to their kobold hostage terrifies her.
Corrupt the Cutie: The first Sword of Plot Advancement is the staff Aluneth, which has a mind of its own - and in the hands of the resident wizard, some very dubious intentions as well. Later on the Firelord battle leads to collateral damage with kobolds burning - she puts them to sleep so they die less noisily.
Token Mini-Moe: The resident Naïve Newcomer, and a gnome. Says it all, really.

Bundle

Played by: Taliesin Jaffe

Race: Dwarf

Class: Priest

Freudian Excuse: He mentions early on that he's got younger siblings doing better than him. And he's losing his hair.

Quazirat Tolluz

Played by: Liam O'Brien

Race: Draenei

Class: Fighter

The Alcoholic: One of the first things he does is ask the tavern owner of Lakeshire for the list of breakfast beers.
Alien Arts Are Appreciated: The Draenei really are aliens, and this one has special admiration for the original Leeroy Jenkins.
Husky Russkie: As befits the WoW take on the Draenei.
Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique: Has no qualms about doing this to an already injured kobold.
Quazi: Now, we can do this five more times...
Kobold: NO! Only have two hands!!
Uncertain Doom: He's last seen fighting it out with the Firelord when the rest of the heroes jump into a subterranean current that sends them out of the mines.

Lokhor Windfallow

Played by: Travis Willingham

Race: Human

Class: Paladin

Holy Hand Grenade: His weapon is the Hammer of Justice, a warhammer infused with the power of goodness. He uses its glory to stun, and later, get the HDYWTDT on King Togwaggle.
Leeroy Jenkins: The first to lash out with his two-hand hammer and charge into the fray against a kobold mob - only for one of them to throw lit dynamite at his feet. Quite appropriate if you remember the Trope Namer.
Small Name, Big Ego: A particularly vain paladin who immediately takes charge of the mission - his deflating moment comes almost immediately when he violently rips a bramble bush out of the ground, only to realise when he slips up that it's just Mobile Shrubbery.

Aerwin Whiteclaw

Played by: Jennifer Hale

Race: Night Elf

Class: Rogue

Audience Surrogate: Due to Jennifer being a first-time player.
Defrosting Ice Queen: Night Elves were never the most social race, but Aerwin warms up to the only other female of the party (Greldamine) easily.
Hidden Depths: Apparently she tried out other jobs like businessperson and healer to avoid getting swept up in the family business, the admittedly generic night elf rogue trade.

Crash Pandas: Too Trashed, Too Curious

Reggie

Reggie Burns

Played by: Matthew Mercer

Race: Raccoon

Blade Below the Shoulder: After scavenging barbecue utensils from the junkyard, Reggie conceals one of the sharper implements in his cast. It comes in handy when he has to hang on to moving vehicles.
Did Not Think This Through: Implied to be a habit of his, but taken to an extreme when even Matt does it during his "criss-cross" teamup with Ringo to take out each others' targets, demanding Ringo kill Vin Diesel for him, despite having just killed Big Paulie himself. Aka the person ordering him to kill Vin Diesel. When Ringo blankly points this out, Reggie quickly corrects himself.
- Also utterly assumes Maxine to be in danger from Big Paulie despite the fact that Sam immediately admits she looks totally fine in the picture Big Paulie showed him, and seems to be working off the idea that she's been kidnapped.
Horrible Judge of Character: When considering helping out the clearly psychotic Ringo, Matt has Reggie think of all the other bad people he's fallen in with due to making bad choices...and then ignore it help Ringo.
Nervous Wreck: Extremely jumpy and skittish.
Trapped by Gambling Debts: He owes the rat mobster "Big Paulie." However instead of gambling, he apparently spent the money on a lady named Maxine who "had a lifestyle to maintain."
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: When he figures out just who is inside the robot...Big Paulie himself. Reggie is all too happy to go berserk on the mobster.
Suddenly Shouting: As part of his Nervous Wreck persona, he has a habit of suddenly getting very loud to emphasize things.
Reggie: How do you think I broke this FUCKING ARM?
Unknown Rival: Becomes this to Vin Diesel, by sheer virtue of Big Paulie demanding he assassinate him as part of the second race.

Rhinestone

Played by: Marisha Ray

Race: Raccoon and Skunk

Bratty Teenage Daughter: Not that her formerly Disappeared Dad doesn't deserve a lot of it, mind you.
Delinquent Hair: Like lots of teenage girls, she dyes her hair. Unlike lots of teenage girls, it's bright purple from the leftover grape slushees found in a backalley dumpster. Turns out it's to cover up her white stripes...
Disappeared Dad: Her motivation for being a big star racer is hoping her father will find her—and he does!
Disproportionate Retribution: After Sass Car insults the Crash Pandas mid-race, Rhinestone posts her behavior online and basically ruins her life.
Sam: It seems like she got fired from the Jamba Juice.
The Face: Claims to be a good "people-racoon" due to multiple captures by animal control, and often shouts suggestions to the others when humans see them. Her response to the junkyard lady is to roll over and "show my belly."
Meaningful Name: Accordng to Marisha, it's like a diamond but "trashier."
Phoneaholic Teenager: She's always blogging and taking selfies. Though having a phone handy at all times proves surprisingly useful for getting information from the web.

Ringo

Played by: Liam O'Brien

Race: Raccoon

Assassin Outclassin': He has bad luck when it comes to trying to actually kill people—even when he teams up with Vin Diesel to try and get the job done, Reggie beats him to it.
- Izzy outright asks him if he's jealous that she was the only one to kill someone during their first race (which was an accident on her part).
Ax-Crazy: He's more than a little unhinged, willing to kill with little provocation. Before they've even chosen a car he goes rifling through an exterminator's vehicle looking for "anything that can kill a man."
Blood Knight: Unlike the others, who are in it to race and win, he is very much into killing drivers. Or anyone else in his way.
Jaded Professional: He's an accountant, and doesn't even want to be at the races. In general, while not about his job, the feeling he gives off gives this impression.
Mask of Sanity: He appears calm and collected on the surface, but once things start to ramp up, he shows his borderline sociopathic traits.
Rivals Team Up: Enlists Vin Diesel's help in getting close to Roadkill at the end of the second race, pointing out how Roadkill's souped up robotic car and sensors make a mockery of street racing. Vin goes for it.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Against Roadkill, the current champ who killed his cousin.
Success Through Insanity: In-universe. With no time to install the jet booster in their ride, he opts to ignite it and hang on to it, grabbing the vehicle with his other arm. Sam declares he doesn't even need to roll more than one success for it.
You Killed My Father: He is racing with the hope of running the champion, who killed his cousin, off the road.

Izzy

Played by: Laura Bailey

Race: Raccoon

Celeb Crush: On Vin Diesel. She entered the race in hopes of impressing him. She gets a Big Damn Kiss with him in the end.
Improbable Aiming Skills:
- In the first race she flings a broomstick at the car behind them, not only shattering the windscreen but nailing the driver.
- She's forced to get Reggie off of Vin Diesel's car by flinging a banana peel at it from their ice cream truck, forcing him to swerve. When both vehicles are in mid-race.
Improbable Weapon User: As her only items are a broomstick and a banana, she has to get creative. Lampshaded by Laura when she finds out Liam got a rocket launcher.
Laura: I got a broomstick and banana!
Only Sane Woman: Yes, the raccoon who wants to have Vin Diesel's babies is the sane one compared to Nervous Wreck Reggie, Phoneaholic Teenager Rhinestone, and Axe-Crazy Ringo. Only car-nerd Goober is more stable.

Goober

Played by: Travis Willingham

Race: Raccoon

Friendless Background: Due to his obsession with cars, poor social skills, and being teased for being hairier than a normal raccoon.
Gadgeteer Genius: His primary role is to get their vehicle Wacky Racing-ready.
Only Sane Man: If it's not Izzy, it's him. Actually knowing about cars puts him very firmly in his element compared to the other raccoons.
- His only contribution to attacking other drivers is suggesting they use the truck's bulk to run them over, which is tame compared to Reggie and Ringo's murder attempts, Izzy's accidental murder, and Rhinestone's doxxing.
Running Gag: Almost always turns left when driving.

Albert T. Skunk (Bald Paw)

Albert

Played by: Blair Herter

Race: Skunk

Abusive Parents: Initially played for laughs when he rips off Rhinestone's fur in an attempt to expose her as a skunk but then subverted when it turns out they were all just huffing fumes and that didn't happen.
Artificial Limbs: He lost a paw from street racing in the old days, and had it replaced with one of those grabby tools for reaching behind couches.
Chekhov's Gun: Invoked by giving Rhinestone a locket before the race, noting he was sure it would somehow become important. It saved her from getting flung out of the car.
Guest-Star Party Member: Doesn't even appear at the table until the second act, and tried to get out of there at the start of the third act, but...
Interspecies Romance: He's a skunk who was once with a raccoon (see below), which is still borderline regular by this reality's standards - then later he seduces the old woman who owns the scrapyard.
Luke, I Am Your Father: He's Rhinestone's father, strangely enough.
Multiple-Choice Past: Due to being both a liar and a bit crazy from living in a junkyard for years, he offers several explanations for why he and Rhinestone's mother are no longer together: she died horribly in a car accident, she passed peacefully, she left him, and they mutually parted ways. Given Rhinestone doesn't refute any of them, it's unclear if she knows which is more plausible.
Running Gag: Going into uncomfortable detail about his time with Rhinestone's mom.

Critical Role and the Club of Misfits

Blunder

Class: Fighter (Eldritch Knight)

House: Smytherpin

Expy: Of Andrew from The Breakfast Club except he's a Quidditch athlete instead of wrestling.

House: Horfleporf

Cloud Cuckoo Lander: While the others are already getting into an argument, she's making mushrooms and flowers grow out of her desk.
Expy: Of Allison from The Breakfast Club.
Insistent Terminology: Listed as a druid according to game mechanics, but she establishes that "I'm a witch... It's Shmogwarts." (Maybe her major is Wiccan?)

Claire

Played by: Sam Riegel

Race: Human

Class: Wizard

House: Dryffingor

Expy: Subverted. She's meant to be one of Claire from The Breakfast Club but Sam has never watched the movie.
Lovable Alpha Bitch: Behaves more like this than a straight Expy of Molly Ringwald.

Played by: Brian Wayne Foster

Race: Human

Class: Cleric

The Night Before Critmas

Arthur

Arthur Fizzlebottom

Played by: Taliesin Jaffe

Race: Christmas Elf

Class: Rogue (Thief)

Nightmare Fetishist: He is clearly enjoying the creepiness and misery of the nightmare world far more than any good elf should.
Obfuscating Stupidity: Taliesin's crazy luck with dice rolls makes the lazy Arthur seem like this, being scarily competent in battle and infiltration.

Nutmeg

Nutmeg Gingersnap

Played by: Ashley Johnson

Race: Christmas Elf

Class: Wizard

Brooklyn Rage: Just recently transferred back to the North Pole from Macy's of New York, and still has a bit of the accent and the attitude.
Playing with Fire: Has an affinity with fire spells, using a very well-placed Aganazzer's Scorcher late in the game to take out Wormsack.
Shock and Awe: That wizard class is not for show - a well placed thunderbolt from Nutmeg gets the first kill of the evening.

Klaus Prigman

Played by: Matthew Mercer

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/klaus_by_hugo_cardenas.jpg

Race: Christmas Elf

Black-and-White Insanity: There's no such things as explorers. If a human crosses into North Pole territory, they are a theif trying to break in and he will kill them for it.
Cane Fu: With giant candy canes.
Comedic Sociopathy: The reason why no human has ever discovered Santa's Workshop at the North Pole? Klaus killed everyone who got near. And 3 elves for unexplained reasons.
Conspicuous Gloves: Whilst not shown in the artwork, Matt has Klaus wearing a pair of white "killing gloves."
Dual Wielding: He fights with a pair of giant candy canes.
Experienced Protagonist: Out of the group, he's the best fighter thanks to his various experiences as a guard - getting in five attacks in one round late in the game!
Good Is Not Soft: He has a strong sense of right and wrong, and is uncompromising in his enforcement of his brand of justice.
Hidden Heart of Gold: He admits that underneath all of his surly exterior and "cold, black heart", there are some things that are far too dark for his heart; as he explained when the group witness a bone from a kid's leg come out of the cauldron.
Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: Delivers one before going up against Chutney.
Klaus: You know what these gloves are for, right?
Chutney: I do.
Seen It All: As a veteran Workshop guard, he's not phased in the least by the various monstrosities the party encounters, and specifically mentions having dealt with The Undead in the past.

Cranberry

Cranberry Stockings

Race: Christmas Elf

Class: Cleric (War Domain)

Combat Medic: Timber sport olympic champion in both Christmas tree hauling and speed chopping and knows Cure Wounds as one of his spells.
The Charmer: Ellory takes a shine to him almost immediately.
Fiery Redhead: It's deliberately dyed that way and only half red, but Cranberry's a gung-ho go-getter who fits the mold.
Pintsized Powerhouse: Taking part in lumberjack games as a three foot elf counts.
What the Hell Is That Accent?: It's somewhere between Minnesota Nice and Moose and Maple Syrup.

Bundlestein

Bundlestein Sprucenberg

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bundlestien_sprucenberg_by_hugo_cardenas.jpg

Race: Christmas Elf

Class: Fighter (Samurai)

Accidental Misnaming: Gets hit with this the most, being called "Bundlesmear" and "Bruce Springsteen".
Butt-Monkey: He went from mucking out the reindeer stables to a somehow crappier position by being dragged into this adventure.
Hidden Depths: Working the stables has gained him several skills like communicating with the reindeer, and rope-tying. And his experience in maintaining Santa's sleigh makes him the second most qualified elf after Chutney for emergency toy production.
Oxymoronic Being: A Jewish Christmas elf.

Chutney

Chutney Chocolatecane

Played by: Travis Willingham

Race: Christmas Elf

Class: Rogue

Accidental Misnaming: Everyone who's not Travis ends up calling him "Chutney Candycane" in Narrative Telephone.
Canon Welding: According to Narrative Telephone, not only was Chutney sent to the coast of Nicodranas after Nightmare before Critmas, but he's also responsible for the added fire damage that got Luc Brenatto!
Dragged Off to Hell: Last we see of him, he's being dragged away by the Hallow King. According to Narrative Telephone he wound up in Exandria.
Everyone Has Standards: After he boobytraps a toy crossbow to get Santa with, it's somehow stolen from him immediately - and given as a gift to a little boy, whereupon Chutney ditches the plan and lets him keep it. Which means Chutney didn't really care if the boy fell for the trap later... (Though in his defence, he reasoned unless Luc actively tried to jump into a fireplace, he'd be fine.)
Evil Old Folks: The most senior of the elves present. Time has left him so bitter and twisted to the point he tries to murder Santa.
Fingore: He's missing a few fingers from workshop accidents.
Friend to All Children: Even though he's an old grump who is actively trying to murder Santa, Chutney would never try to hurt or upset a child.
Grumpy Old Man: He's among the oldest elves at the North Pole, and he's perpetually surly and bitter.
Laser-Guided Karma: The only one of the elves who doesn't get a happy ending. Which isn't surprising, given what he did.
Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: He's felt underappreciated by Santa for years.
Old Soldier: During the first encounter, he admits he hasn't thrown down since 1756.
Token Evil Teammate: Can't get much worse (in this setting) than trying to kill Santa Claus.

Ellory

Ellory Jinglegumdrop

Played by: Julie Nathanson

Race: Christmas Elf

Class: Cleric (Life Domain)

Accidental Misnaming: Cranberry keeps calling her "Elroy" thanks to his accent.
Combat Medic: Has access to Cure Wounds and Healing Word as a cleric, and can handle fights despite being a Naïve Newcomer.
Edible Bludgeon: Her Spiritual Weapon is a fruitcake.
Genki Girl: This is her first Christmas, and she is very excited about it.
Guest-Star Party Member: Literally!
The Heart: Hers is the loudest voice in favour of rescuing Santa, whilst Chutney and Nutmeg were openly discussing taking over.
Naïve Everygirl: When they find the grove of portals to other holiday worlds, only four are immediately obvious (St Patricks' Day, Thanksgiving, Easter and Halloween), leaving one out - Ellory is the first to suggest Valentine's Day.

Bell

Bell Mistletoes

Would have been played by: Laura Bailey

Race: Christmas Elf

The Ace: Of toy production in Santa's workshop, and in general.
Lady Not-Appearing-in-This-Game: She's still in the Youtube thumbnail (the pink haired one at the lower right).
The Paragon: Actually described as such in the intro, of "elvish can-do attitude."

Tails of Equestria One-Shot

Countess Pi

Played by: Julie Nathanson

Race: Unicorn

Element of Harmony: Kindness

Awesomeness by Analysis: Her talent for numbers and math comes in handy both for navigating mountains and analyzing Laz's jousting opponents.
Cloudcuckoolander: Downplayed. She's a bit out-there, but is also one of the most empathetic members of the group.
The Empath: Picks this up as a secondary talent upon levelling up.
Good with Numbers: Her Cutie Mark talent.
Nap-Inducing Speak: Helps Laz sleep by reciting numbers to him.
Punny Name: Countess suggests a regal bearing but also sounds like "count".
Southern-Fried Genius: She's Good with Numbers and Julie plays her with a Southern accent. Her Mind stat is also among the highest of the party.

Tomeytime

Played by: Liam O'Brien

Race: Earth Pony

Element of Harmony: Honesty

Church of Happyology: Some of his self-help veers suspiciously close to this.
Expy: Design-wise, he's almost a ponified Caleb, right down to the belt of books. Though his actual personality is almost a parody of him: his study is limited to self-help books and his neurosis is Played for Laughs.
The Face: One of two for the party, along with Peaches.
Nerdy Nasalness: He's a studious pony who enjoys reading and wears glasses, and he speaks in a very nasally voice.
Punny Name: Like storytime, but with tomes instead.
Throw the Book at Them: Tries this against some thieves, but it isn't very successful.

Trixie Gadgets

Played by: Markeia McCarty

Race: Unicorn

Element of Harmony: Generosity

Gadgeteer Genius: It's her entire speciality. Initially her talent only lies in inventing, but she picks up engineering as an additional skill when levelling.
Heroic Wannabe: Wants to be a superhero.
I Choose to Stay: At the end of the adventure, she takes up Lapis Lazuli's offer to act as Royal Gadgeteer for Zirconia, but promises to visit the others.

Peaches Silversong

Played by: Ashley Johnson

Race: Pegasus

Element of Harmony: Honesty

Cannot Tell a Lie: She takes her Honesty element completely literally.
Famed In-Story: She's already a famous musician who's played for Princess Celestia and Luna in the past, and is an acquaintance of Twilight's.
The Mentor: As the one Pegasus of the group, she's the one to train Laz in the art of aerial jousting.
The Face: The other one in the party. Her flute skills help on in Charm tests.
Flight: Naturally capable of this as a Pegasus, and notably the only member of the party who can.

Whirlypoo

Played by: Roger Craig Smith

Race: Earth Pony

Element of Harmony: Laughter

Armor Is Useless: Picks up a suit of heavy armor for the expedition... and almost instantly realizes it's Awesome, yet Impractical. He sheds some of it to try and stop a derailing train and the rest doesn't see much use.
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Is easily distracted by "bright things in the sky".
Butt-Monkey: Not much goes his way. The name doesn't help.
Dung Fu: Eventually lives up to his name by flinging poo at the Baldog.
Not What It Looks Like: He often spends the nights stargazing... and watching everypony in town with his binoculars. This has led to... misunderstandings.
Plucky Comic Relief: His general role in the group.
What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: His Cutie Mark talent is spinning. Despite finding several creative applications for it, it rarely proves useful.

Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Crystal Palace

Ida Codswell

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crcthulhu_idacoswell.jpg

Electrical engineer & inventor

Played by: Ashly Burch

And I Must Scream: Ends up in the mirror world after a shadow pulls her into the fountain. As the others later see her reflection frantically pointing them in the direction of the exit, she's probably not dead, but forever cut off from the real world.
Dude, Where's My Respect?: She is not happy when she realizes that her employer stole credit for one of her own designs. That said, she also says it was because she punched him in the face.
Ida: That piece of shit.
Gadgeteer Genius: She's an accomplished electrician and inventor.
Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions: Sees all of the concentration on the occult as nonsense, causing her to dislike Septimus in particular.
Wrench Wench: Although of a more academic stripe than usual.

Septimus Goodfellow

Septimus Goodfellow/Archie Orlick

Celebrity Spiritualist

Played by: Liam O'Brien

Accent Relapse: Played for Drama, when he reveals he is a Phony Psychic while being their apparent only hope against the Shadow People.
All There in the Manual: His real name, Archie Orlick, was revealed by Taliesin in one of the post-oneshot articles on the Critical Role website.
And Then John Was a Zombie: After his death, he becomes one of the backwards-facing Shadow People.
The Alcoholic: Much of his earlier dialogue involves asking where the booze is.
Fake Ultimate Hero: He has quite a reputation in the occult community as a great spiritualist. As it turns out, he doesn't know the first thing about the occult and is simply a scam artist.
Famed In-Story: He's something of a celebrity spiritualist.
Foreshadowing: His Occult check is said to be very bad, with him substituting his Psychology check and Taliesin allowing him to have knowledge "in his notes" about things... because he is actually terrible with occultism, good at lying to people, and is a Phony Psychic the entire time.
Improvised Weapon: Grabs a fire poker toward the end in an attempt to defend himself.
It's All About Me: Once his true colors are revealed, he shows that he only cares about his own wellbeing, unlike the others at least trying to work together and help one another. This attitude leads to his death.
Killed Off for Real: While the other lost party members fall under Uncertain Doom, he's the only one to have been clearly killed. See below.
Meaningful Name: Goodfellow aka Robin Goodfellow is another name for Puck, a trickster fae from William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Something that he would know since he's actually an actor.
Phony Psychic: He's really an actor who doesn't know crap about the occult.
Off with His Head!: Having had enough, he rushes for the exit in a blind panic, and ends up failing a Pushed roll. The group see him run into a shadow, and all they see next is his severed head fly through the air and disappear into another shadow.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After his ruse is found out, his only instinct is to get out of the Crystal Palace as soon as possible. This gets much worse when he fails a sanity roll, with it becoming an overwhelming compulsion that leads to his decapitation.
Wham Line: "I don't know what the fook that does."

Hanako Hayashi

Socialite, Ambassador

Played by: Erika Ishii

In-Series Nickname: While Hanako can sometimes be shortened to Hana (still a legit name in Japanese), all the non-Japanese players end up pronouncing it "Hannah", Though Ashly makes an effort to at least try to use the correct pronunciation.
Proper Lady: Of the not-that-innocent variety - she learned lockpicking in boarding school.
The Face: Her intended role within the group when recruited.
Unresolved Sexual Tension: She and Cpt. Badger share a mutual attraction and flirt a bit upon first meeting, but being thrust into a Cosmic Horror Story leaves them with little opportunity to explore their feelings further. However, at the job's conclusion Hanako expresses a desire to see Bently again in a non-work-related context, which he agrees would be nice.

Alexandra Elise O'Neill

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crcthulhu_alexandraeliseoneil.jpg

World Traveler, smuggler

Played by: Marisha Ray

Adventurer Archaeologist: Apparently this is her day job.
Enlightenment Superpowers: Is able to use the meditation techniques of the monks she is working for to activate a mystic artifact, in one of the few magical effects by the protagonists that is actually on purpose.
From Dress to Dressing: She uses a torn piece of her dress as an improvised bandage on the claw wounds Hanako received from the Shadow People.
Sanity Slippage: The second to lose sanity, in her case from the first encounter with the Shadow People. She becomes increasingly paranoid and twitchy at the idea of someone always right behind her, breathing down her neck, just out of sight. It goes away once the actual Shadow People show up directly.

Dr. Mason Pocket

British Museum Antiques Archivist

Played by: Phil LaMarr

Black and Nerdy: He is the antiquities archivist for the British Museum.
Face Death with Dignity: As his attempt to rescue Ida by shattering the mirror fails and he's surrounded by shadows, his last thoughts as he's pulled in are that he went out testing a hypothesis, like a true scientist.
It's All My Fault: Due to both the horrific events and the overall nature of his part in the release of the Shadow People, Pocket blames himself for breaking the mirror and causing all of the subsequent problems that result.
Not That Kind of Doctor: He makes it clear that he's a Ph., not an M.D.
Dr. Pocket: I'm a book doctor, not a blood doctor!
Motor Mouth: When he starts to show the strain of the horrors around him after seeing the Shadow People, he becomes prone to bursts of sudden rambling about them.
Occult Detective: Borders on it. His main area of expertise is his knowledge of ancient cultures, which leads him to realize that between the black mirror and the red stone, the group are stumbling into something far greater than just a delivery service.
Sanity Slippage: Begins at the same time as O'Neill, also from the Shadow People. In his case, the first compulsion is a "connectivity compulsion," where if he starts talking about the Shadow People, he can't stop until someone can calm him down. The second time he fails a sanity roll, when he gets bitten by the Shadow People while trying to escape, he becomes convinced that the only way for Ida to help, and thereby prove his hypothesis about the Mirror People as helpful versus the Shadow People being harmful, is for him to break the mirror he sees and free the subject.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: He really should have been more careful with that mirror, as breaking it caused a lot of occult horror.

Cpt. Bentley Badger

Ex British Cavalry, Butler to Mr. Merriweather

Played by: Travis Willingham

Battle Butler: He's a veteran of the Second Anglo-Afghan War and is currently employed as Mr. Merriweather's butler.
The Big Guy: He's easily the physically strongest and probably the most experienced combatant in the group. Thus, he's usually called upon to do the heavy lifting.
Cane Sword: He carries one disguised as a gentleman's cane as a relic from his time in the Second Afghan War. He only ever really uses it as a thinner surface to lift something up, and not in combat.
Taliesin: I cannot believe you convinced me to let you have that.
Handicapped Badass: He walks with a cane due to an old war wound, but it doesn't really seem to slow him down.
Sanity Slippage: His sanity goes down first after seeing Joseph Weyland with a Missing Reflection, with him gaining a compulsion to check every mirror he comes across to make sure he still has one. However, it never really is much of an issue beyond general paranoia.

Feast of Legends

Hogg Wyld

Played by: Ify Nwadiwe

Order of the Baconator

Bond One-Liner: After a notable HDYWTDT in the second fight.
"Order up!"
Captain Ersatz: Going by the character art, he's an even more self-absorbed Maui.
Distracted by My Own Sexy: One crap roll is attributed to Hogg staring at his own glistening pecs.
Macho Camp: Like you wouldn't believe.
Meaningful Name: Not only is he the equivalent of a barbarian, but as the embodiment of the Baconator, the "Hogg" part is literal.
Pec Flex: Not a part of the story, but Hogg is supposedly distracted by his own pecs and Ify can do this for real, so...
Scars Are Forever: His oiled torso is already covered with grill marks.
Testosterone Poisoning: Played for laughs, with Ify exaggerating his past Boisterous Bruiser character Ulfgar Fireforge.
Walking Shirtless Scene: As shown in the character art, and Ify is just buff enough to do this for real too.

Snax

Played by Liam O'Brien

Order of the Nugget

Lightning Bruiser: She's the equivalent of a gnome rogue.

Tweezle Grillden

Played by: Matt Mercer

Order of the Homestyle Chicken Sandwich

Big Fun
Captain Ersatz: Resembles the Ghost of Christmas Present in character art.
Friend to All Living Things: He's able to calm two spooked horses and add them to the party as mounts.

Aunt Arctica

Played by: Marisha Ray

Order of the Frosty

An Ice Person: Comes with being the embodiment of the Frosty.
The Face: Having aristocratic connections to Queen Wendy herself makes Arctica a public relations juggernaut.
Older Than They Look: She was present at the birth of Queen Wendy, which says it all.

UnDeadwood

Reverend Mason

Reverend Matthew Mason

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/udw_portrait_art_800x450_0002_travis.jpg

Played by: Travis Willingham

After spending some time in Rapid City, Reverend Mason answered a desperate telegraph from Deadwood's minister, saying he was being run out of town and his church was nearly destroyed. He begged any nearby ministers to come salvage the church of Deadwood. Reverend Mason answered the call.

Badass Preacher: The latest preacher for Deadwood, and a former Cavalryman who is very handy with a shotgun.
Celibate Hero: He takes his vows of chastity seriously, as when Aloysius invites him to share in the revelries at a local brothel:
Aloysius: Reverend, I got three of them in here, you sure?
Reverend Mason: No, I have my own three, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!
Dark and Troubled Past: A former Cavalryman with a bounty on his head for murder and desertion.
Heroic RRoD: Thanks to getting two 10s and the Joker, Travis makes a push for the HDYWTDT against Wild Bill Hickock, and gets it - but it leaves Reverend Mason incapacitated.
The Dealer: Greed ain't cheap.
Horseback Heroism: Thanks to a really lucky stealth roll, he's the only one to stay on horseback for the final fight. Makes sense, as he's former cavalry.
Obfuscating Stupidity: The good Reverend seems fairly clueless and naive, but he shows a more dangerous side when people start touching on subjects he'd rather have left alone.
Religion is Magic: Subverted. He thinks his powers come from God, but it's hinted that they're from something far more sinister.
Wide-Eyed Idealist: He’s always kind, polite, and God fearing, and thus sticks out like a sore thumb in Deadwood.

Aloysius Fogg

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/udw_portrait_art_800x450_0004_khary.jpg

Played by: Khary Payton

A former slave looking for refuge in the badlands. Unlike many, Fogg made his way to Deadwood in search of peace.

Always Gets His Man: He's actually came to Deadwood tracking a criminal by the name of Amos Kinsley, and bags him by the end.
Due to the Dead: Closes Clayton/Amos's eyes after killing him.
Foreshadowing: He displays a surprising amount of professionalism, leaving one of the Gem girls while in the middle of it for the job at hand. Strip him of the capacity for emotional attachment, and he'll even kill someone he considers a friend.
Lack of Empathy: Due to some unfortunate circumstances involving a failed spell, he loses his emotional empathy in the last part of the final episode For the next six days after the event. He admits that any other day he probably would have let Clayton go, but for some reason he doesn't seem to care, only caring for the law. He then noticeably, after killing Clayton, sleeps through the night without any issue despite his immense respect for the man he killed.
Meaningful Rename: He gave himself the last name “Fogg” after a mystical fog helped him avoid the slave catchers.
Sex God: Played for Laughs. The ladies of the Gem Saloon seem to really like him for some reason, even though he does nothing to earn it.
The Stoic: After losing his empathy, he is primarily identified by his lack of any real emotion beyond an adherence to justice.
Took a Level in Jerkass: Due to losing his empathy, he loses his sympathetic traits in the last few parts of the story, to the degree of pointedly ignoring Miriam's attempts talk him down.

Arabella Whitlock

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/udw_portrait_art_800x450_0001_marisha.jpg

Played by: Marisha Ray

After her sister passed away, Arabella married her widower brother-in-law and is trying to begin a new life. An avid reader and student of the occult, astrology and the world's mysteries, the newlywed Mrs. Whitlock comes to Deadwood looking for answers...and closure.

Arranged Marriage: She was strongly encouraged to marry her sister’s widower to keep his business in the family. It's not a happy union, and the least she can say about him is "At least he doesn't hit me.".
Be Careful What You Wish For: When it becomes clear the group has gained supernatural powers, she immediately wishes to raise her sister from the dead. Come episode 3...
"I got my wish."
Light 'em Up: Arabella first used her huckster powers to light the saloon sign wide enough to spot the first zombie raid.
Necromantic: She’s a student of the occult, and after seeing the undead rise, she wants to bring back her sister.
Staking the Loved One: During another zombie attack, Arabella is confronted with the reanimated corpse of her sister, Cynthia. She had no choice but to put her down.

Clayton Sharpe

Clayton "The Coffin" Sharpe

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/udw_portrait_art_800x450_0003_matt_8.jpg

Played by: Matt Mercer

A laconic gunslinger for hire, not much is known about Sharpe outside of his reputation for keeping to himself and being a reliable hired killer.

Born Unlucky: Matt does not roll well when playing him, and most of his fights collapse due to bad rolls. Including, tragically, his final duel with Aloysius. He does his best to end it without killing him, but keeps missing, letting Aloysius get the upper hand and kill him.
The Cynic: He's deeply distrustful of just about everything, but most of all his new powers.
Evil All Along: Subverted. He was a criminal Aloysius had been hunting for some time, but the final confrontation between him and Aloysius paints him as the sympathetic party trying to stop the duel, and in the post-story recap, it's revealed that he was Wrongfully Accused in the first place.
Failed Attempt at Drama: After spending most of the story distrusting it, he finally decides to make that final leap and give in to his new huckster powers...and becomes the first person in play to fail at casting a spell.
Fights Like a Normal: For the most part, he avoids using his Huckster powers, being afraid of them. The one time he does use them, it fails to work, so he opts to go back to what he feels is his specialty.
Clayton: I don't know why I tried to deviate from my specialty in the first place.
Forgiveness: He understands that Aloysius is Not Himself in their final duel, and bears him no resentment when he dies, just smiling as he goes.
Guns Akimbo: Uses dual revolvers in combat.
The Gunslinger: While all of the party use guns, he is the most known for it, using Guns Akimbo. That isn't to say he can hit much, though.
Multiple Gunshot Death: Shot several times by Aloysius in a duel, ending with a bullet to the heart.
Nay-Theist: He's seen enough barbarity in the world that he refuses to indulge in prayer, as he notes in "God Don't Play Cards."
Clayton: If we all share the same dreams, I'm wondering if we're sharing this same source of... whatever this is, whatever that was, whatever you're looking for, whatever's causing all that. That ain't God. That wasn't God. What you did, can't say for sure, but... if it's what these folks have all been invoking, pretty sure that's not God, either. God don't play cards. Just be careful.
Arabella: Are you a man who believes in divine evil, just as much as he believes in divine righteousness? You think this is the devil himself, or something else?
Clayton: I ain't a religious man, not in a long time. I've seen enough people be animals out there, to know that if God made us in his image, God's every bit as feral as the things he created.
Properly Paranoid: Notes that it's very unlikely that the group has their Huckster powers from the Christian God.
Red Baron: "The Coffin."
Secret Identity: His real name is Amos Kinsley.
The Watson: He's the only one without previous experience of the occult in his life, and thus is the most reactive to all the weirdness happening around him.
Worthy Opponent: After killing him, Aloysius notes that he has nothing but respect for him in spite of what he had just done to the dead man.
Wrongfully Accused: While he has done many bad things, the crime he has a bounty for isn't one of them.

Miriam Landisman

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/udw_portrait_art_800x450_0000_anjali.jpg

Played by: Anjali Bhimani

Miriam and her husband set out from Chicago. Leaving him behind in Cheyenne, Miriam came to Deadwood to see if their family business could put down roots in a new hometown. However, the kind of goods "Miss Miriam" peddles aren't your usual wares.

The Alcoholic: She's nearly always drinking. It starts out mild, but the more she experiences, the deeper she drinks.
Everyone Has Standards: She may be selling snuff, but she doesn't want people to die from it, and encourages Joanie not to indulge when she thinks it might kill her.
The Face: By and far the most charismatic of the group, she excels at getting information out of people.
Fights Like a Normal: While she gained huckster powers same as the other four, she never uses them and relies solely on her Winchester.
The Lost Lenore: She didn't leave her husband in Cheyenne. She left him in a shack halfway between there and Deadwood, dead of the pox. The fact that she's implied (and later confirmed) to have given him a Mercy Kill when he was suffering and past help makes it weigh all the more.
Neutral Female: Not normally, but in one crucial instance: Brian doesn't let her roll to sneak up on Aloysius and knock him out with a bottle, so she's unable to interfere in the duel between him and Clayton.
This Is Unforgivable!: Declares she will never forgive Aloysius for killing Clayton, and that whatever he was doing, it wasn’t the law.

Cinderbrush: A Monsterhearts Story

Jamie

Jamie Wrenly

Played by: Taliesin Jaffe

Skin: The Witch

A student who spent their summer in New York, Jamie has connections, associates, and mysterious powers that lets them more easily get the information they thrive on.

Cool Shades: A red-tinted pair, all the better to hide their red, slit-irised eyes while they are their Darkest Self.
Forgotten First Meeting: They and Af met at a divorce court three years before the events of the session, though Af doesn't remember them. Jamie concedes that it was fair, as it had been a while and they didn't look the same then as they do now.
Information Broker: The role they serve for the rest of Cinderbrush High, especially Sasha and The Hive.
Master of Illusion: One of their Hexes causes the target to hallucinate something, like bats, snakes, or bugs crawling under their skin.
Sympathetic Magic: They need something of someone’s to effectively Hex someone from a distance.
Truth Serum: They know a Hex that causes intense pain in the subject when they lie.

Sasha

Sasha Murasaki

Played by: Erika Ishii

Skin: The Queen

Leader of an elite social clique called The Hive, Sasha is first in line to any school activities and any illicit social events. Cameron’s ex-girlfriend.

Alpha Bitch: Oh, is she ever.
Amicable Exes: She and Cameron play with this a lot. They reconcile by the end of the story, and decide to experiment with Af.
Abusive Parents: Sasha eventually reveals to Cameron that her parents "cut her off" during the rave. It isn't elaborated upon after that, but the way that Sasha suddenly becomes vulnerable when she admits that suggests that she doesn't have the happiest of home lives.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She’s dismissive, manipulative, and cruel at times, but in her best moments she’s fiercely loyal. This is best demonstrated when she soundly rejects Suzie’s offer.
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The Hive might be a Hive Mind, or it might not. If the latter, this would make Sasha The Team Normal.
Polyamory: The end of the one-shot implies she, Af, and Cameron are going to pursue a three-way relationship.
Really Gets Around: She seduces the other three PCs, as well as multiple NPC including a police officer, over the course of the story. Downplayed, as she was previously in a relationship with Cameron.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: When she becomes her Darkest Self, she delivers a scathing one to Suzie, topped off by the quote under This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!.
This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!: When she takes down Suzie.
Sasha: Go to fucking therapy, you bitch!

Abigail ‘AF’ Flowers

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aff_flowers.jpg

Played by: Ally Beardsley

Skin: The Werewolf

The new kid in town. Though they’ve only just arrived in Cinderbrush, AF has already developed a reputation after (allegedly) punching one of their classmates in the face.

The Big Guy: AF’s Skin is the most geared to raw physical damage out of the group, and they’re the one who charges in to attack the cultists.
Do Not Call Me "Paul": They're not happy about being called Abigail by anybody - when a teacher is taking rollcall and reads out Abigail, they throw a book at him.
Establishing Character Moment: One of the first things AF did on their first day in school is to throw their book at the teacher because he called them by their full name, establishing that they are easily angered.
- Before the game session, AF punched out Jason, a member of the football team, and give him a horrendous black eye to establish dominance. AF later explains it as watching a lot of prison documentaries that basically say to go for the biggest guy when you get in if they want respect, so that was what they did.
Forgotten First Meeting: They have no recollection of Jamie’s presence at their parent’s divorce court.
Polyamory: The end of the one-shot implies they, Sasha, and Cameron are going to pursue a three-way relationship.
Really Gets Around: Not to the extent as Sasha and they are more the recipient of other people's affections but by the end of the session AF has made out with Jamie, Sasha and two members of The Hive. They also enter into a threesome relationship with Sasha and Cameron, who was also their first kiss.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Uncontrollable rage aside, AF is the one who takes Amanda's sacrifice by cultists the hardest. When one of the cultists says that she was chosen to be sacrificed because she wouldn't be missed, AF's first reaction is to dig their claws into the wounds they had already inflicted on him.
AF: (coldly) She's missed.
Wolf Man: Their full transformation is described this way.

Cameron

Cameron Solomon

Played by: Ashley Johnson

Skin: The Infernal

A slacker who had some very unusual experiences over the summer, whose family owns the quarry outside town. Sasha’s ex-boyfriend.

Abusive Parents: His and Sasha’s behavior around his father Hank heavily implies that he’s at least emotionally abusive. The descriptions of parental shouting matches and Hank’s drinking don’t help matters.
Amicable Exes: He and Sasha play with this a lot. They reconcile by the end of the story, and decide to experiment with Aff.
Deal with the Devil: The basis of the Infernal Skin, and Cam is no different. Suzie says he also released the entity, but whether or not she was just getting under his skin is unknown.
First Kiss: Af is this for him, back when they were younger and under a canoe, no less. This serves as Foreshadowing when Cameron becomes upset that Af claims to have never been kissed and that it didn't count, indicating that he still had feelings for them.
Polyamory: The end of the one-shot implies he, Aff, and Sasha are going to pursue a three-way relationship.
Sickly Green Glow: Accessing his Bargain powers and asking questions of the dark power he’s connected to causes glowing green smoke to pour from his eyes.
The Slacker: He’s paying another student to do his homework.

Doom Eternal One-Shot

A tie-in special with the release of Doom Eternal, this one-shot follows the spirit of the Pathfinder: Goblins and Shadow of War games, with the players taking on the roles of the demons from the 2016 revival. See the Doom (2016) character page for more about them.

Krill

Krill the Marauder

Played by: Taliesin Jaffe

The Ace: A villainous example - he's canonically the antithesis of the Doomslayer himself, and in this game, he scores the first kill of the evening.
Not So Above It All: He props up a victim and re-hacks it with his axe, for a photo op.
Playing with Fire: His blazing axe deals additional fire damage.
Summon Magic: Calls upon a hellhound that he uses as an Action Bomb.

Ichabod

Ichabod the Archvile

Played by: Sam Riegel

The Face: Designated as the leader, but behaves more like this in the field. He gets the first natural 20 in a persuasion move on the Hell Priest, so he's certainly got that down.
Hidden Depths: Right off the bat he comes across as a Miles Gloriosus, but as the story progresses, he's clearly putting work into leading his team and reaching out to them, like feeding Mancubus who hasn't got hands to do that with, qualifying for The Heart (insofar as demons even have hearts).
Just a Flesh Wound: Uses his bullet holes and other fresh injuries to store stuff.
Playing with Fire: All the demons are naturally fire-friendly, but the Archvile is a dedicated fire mage capable of pyrokinesis.
Sam: (on trying to nail a running victim) I put a little spin into it...
Selfie Fiend: He scavenged a camera from a human victim and has been using it for selfies and stuff.
Face Death with Dignity: He even makes sure to take one last picture as the Slayer kills him.
Summon Magic: Apparently all of the guys can do this, but being able to summon a Hell Knight is nothing to sneeze at.
Villainous Breakdown: He freaks the hell out once he realizes he and the party are trapped in a room with The Doom Slayer.

Mancubus

Mancubus the Mancubus

Played by: Laura Bailey

Acrofatic: Infernal Leap lets him jump up to 30 feet. After his failed attempt at killing Dr Samuel Hayden, he leaps away like a fat ballerina.
Laura: I suck in my gut... (grimaces)
A Dog Named "Dog": It's a Mancubus... who goes by Mancubus.
Awesome, but Impractical: His arms have been replaced with cannons, making him useless at anything except killing.
Beware the Silly Ones: Lacking hands doesn't stop him from getting the first HDYWTTD of the evening. Eating the pilot of that mech like he wanted is another matter though...
The Brute: He's the size of a car... and half as smart.
Does Not Know His Own Strength: Notably the only one to kill a human outside of combat.
Dumb Muscle: His role within the party.
Epic Fail: He puts Samuel Hayden's head between his arm cannons, but still somehow misses the shot.
Hulk Speak: "MANCUBUUUS!!"
I'm a Humanitarian: He only realized midway through the attempt that he can't grab the poor guy, but he eats the pilot of a mech.
No Range Like Point-Blank Range: With Dr Sam Hayden at his mercy, he puts the poor guy's head right between the muzzles of his arm cannons... but still misses.
Playing with Fire: The arm cannons have flamethrowers as well.
Say My Name: "MANCUBUS!"
Summon Magic: He can summon a Pinky to assist him, by pooping it out.

"Phyllis"

Phyllis the Pain Elemental

Played by: Anjali Bhimani

Alliterative Name: Phyllis the Pain Elemental.
Collector of the Strange: For some reason all of her Lost Souls are known celebrities (presumably they all died out due to The End of the World as We Know It).
Mook Maker: The Lost Souls she uses are sentient, but she primarily uses them as weapons and tools.
Squishy Wizard: The resident necromancer, able to summon numerous souls of the dead, and sadly the least capable of defending herself without them.
Summon Magic: Has this in addition to her necromancer powers, although summoning another Pain Elemental that should have identical powers to hers isn't quite the advantage she counted on.
Witch Classic: Her necrotic powers combined with Anjali's cackling voice all nod to this trope.
Worthy Opponent: After Dr Samuel Hayden, who'd been regarding the demons as little more than test subjects, gets a particularly stinging hit from Phyllis.
"You're my new favourite."

Reva

Reva the Revenant

Played by: Jasmine Bhullar

Blood Knight: Combat excites her. Killing arouses her.
Combat Sadomasochist: The idea of the Doom Slayer injuring and potentially killing her is the biggest turn-on in her life.
Faux Affably Evil: When interrogating the humans, she becomes completely different from the kill-happy Revenant we've been seeing.
In Love with Your Carnage: Her love of war and slaughter is so great that she's in love with the Doom Slayer.
A Lizard Named "Liz": Reva the Revenant.
Nightmare Fetishist: She's apparently greatly aroused by the arrival of the Doom Slayer. The guy who's there to kill her.
Summon Magic: A dice-driven variant meant to bring up more lesser demons (some Zombies and a Carcass in this case)

Played by: Mica Burton

Ambiguously Brown: Indra has brown skin, but there's no knowing her origin.
Cleavage Window: She undoubtedly sports one.
Fashionable Asymmetry

Class: Necromancer

Played by: Carlos Luna

Body Horror: An unfortunate side effect from practicing necromancy.

Played by: Liam O'Brian

The Big Guy: He functions as the tank of the party, having the most health and constitution out of them.
Carry a Big Stick: His weapon of choice is a mace.
Death Is Not Permanent: One of his spells is a magic circle that can bring him and allies back to life after losing all HP.
Gasp of Life: Happens to him several times when he resurrects from the dead, thanks to being in the magic circle.
Metallic Motifs: He wears gold armor, strongly hinting at ties to divine powers.

Grelnok

Grelnok Nightbringer

Played by: Michelle Nguyen Bradley

Meaningful Name: "Hoa Sen" means "Lotus Flower" in Vietnamese.
Nature Hero: Being a Warden, she can conjure plants of magical nature to help her comrades.

The Nautilus Ark: A Johnson Corp Odyssey One-Shot

A special one-shot unlocked by the success of the Legend of Vox Machina Kickstarter campaign, DM'ed by Ashley Johnson for her first (and probably last) time behind a DM screen. The one-shot is designed to be a love letter to science-fiction horror movies from the 70s and 80s, most notably Alien.

In General

The crew of the Nautilus

Aerith and Bob: On the Bob side we have Gunnery Sergeant Cameron Garrett, ship's mechanic Forrest Coreman and computer scientist Dr. Ramsey Wiser, and on the Aerith side we have astrobiologist Dr. Nomen L. Frenno and Captain Seraphine Glass.
Fountain of Expies: Most of the characters share some resemblance with characters from similar sci-fi films, such as Alien.
Human Aliens: Rather than being survivors of a ruined future Earth looking for a new planet, the ending reveals that the planet they are hoping to settle on is Earth. One in which humanity's time has already come and gone.

Captain Glass

Captain Seraphine Glass

Played by: Laura Bailey

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e_5rdwoweaqnezo.jpg

'80s Hair: Rocks a sweet mullet in the official artwork. Justified as the one-shot is a love letter to science-fiction horror movies from the 70s and 80s such as Alien.
The Captain: Of the Nautilus, naturally.
Deadpan Snarker: Sarcasm is one of her hobbies according to her profile. That said, she doesn't engage in much of it during the one-shot, if at all.
Face Death with Dignity: Chooses to go down with the ship when the crew had to decide who takes the single escape pod. She uses what time she had left piloting the Nautilus and the Meanomorphs as far away from the planet and the Ark as possible before the ship explodes.
Heroic Sacrifice: Immediately orders the only other uninfected crewmember to the only escape pod so she can scuttle the ship.
Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Glass appears to have graduated with honours, thanks to Laura rolling multiple critical failures that resulted in Glass hitting everything but the Meanomorph and accidentally destroying two fuel tanks and shooting Cameron in the ass.
- Given that she is carrying a Smart Gun, which you would think would make it easier for her to hit what she is aiming at, makes it all the more ironic.
Ink-Suit Actor: Official artwork portrays Captain Glass as basically Laura Bailey with a mullet and an Ellen Ripley-style jumpsuit.

Forrest Coreman

Chief Engineer Forrest Coreman

Played by: Liam O'Brien

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e_5p7r2wyau_sbp.jpg

Artificial Human: Is revealed to be a synthetic after the Meanomorph rips out his throat, much to Travis and Laura's delight. Thankfully for the crew and the last of humanity, he turns out to be more Bishop than Ash or David.
- Funnily enough, before the reveal, both Laura and Travis suspected Taliesin's character to be the synthetic among the crew.
Gadgeteer Genius: As the chief engineer of the Nautilus.
Heroic Sacrifice: Attempts this by igniting an oxygen tank in proximity to the Meanomorph. Liam only rolls a measly four damage to the creature, but he still gets the HDYWTDT anyway.
Cameron: Never let a synthetic do a man's job!
- And again for realsies, protecting Ramsey with a flamethrower before the latter activates the escape pod.
Sheep in Sheep's Clothing: Though he's revealed to be a synthetic masquerading as a human in secret, this doesn't come from (or result in) any sort of betrayal of the other crewmembers. To the end, his goal of ensuring that the Ark lands safely on the planet without the Meanomorph infection aligns with everyone else's. The closest he comes to betrayal is leaving the fight with the Meanomorph to activate a console, but no one holds it against him as he was defending the Ark at the time by disconnecting it from their ship.
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: When informed that only one person can use the escape pod, Garrett immediately suggests that Forrest shouldn't have it. Forrest is on board with this, as the safety of the crew comes before everything except the Ark itself.

Dr. Ramsey Wiser

Doctor Ramsey Wiser

Played by: Taliesin Jaffe

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e_5rkocxsaeta2y_0.jpg

Human All Along: Both Laura and Travis suspected that Ramsey is a synthetic during the Meanomorph attack. As it turned out, while there was a synthetic on board he just wasn't it. The synthetic turns out to be Forrest.
Must Have Caffeine: One of the first things he does after waking up from stasis is make a cup of coffee (he has a personal stash of high quality coffee in his quarters). Additionally, according to his profile, Ramsey's favourite Johnson Corp product is an espresso printer.
Red Herring: Ramsey disconnects his oxygen tank during the Meanomorph attack, leading Travis and Laura to quickly suspect that he is a synthetic^Note. However, Ramsey is just as quickly revealed to be human after all, much to Travis and Laura's disappointment.
Travis: Do you bleed milk, motherfucker?!
Taliesin: (smirking) I mean, look at me.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: As one of the least combat capable members of the crew, he immediately retreats to a different room during the fight with the Meanomorph. When ordered to the escape pod, he doesn't argue, stopping only to grab his favorite book and a picture of his mother on the way.
The Smart Guy: While he isn't the only scientist among the crew, Ramsey is an expert in multiple fields. Not only is he the ships computer expert he also holds a degree in alien psychology and cites social engineering among his hobbies in his profile.
Sole Survivor: Is the sole survivor of the Nautilus crew, as one of two crewmembers who weren't infected by the Meanomorph (or an android).

Dr. Nomen L. Frenno

Doctor Nomen L. Frenno

Played by: Marisha Ray

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e_5rfdrwyag2pyv.jpg

Better to Die than Be Killed: After being infected with a Meanomorph parasite and seeing what happened to Cameron, Nomen takes a scalpel and slits her own throat with it.
Body Horror: Because she has translucent skin, the parasite that was gestating inside of her after she is infected could be seen.
Frog Men: Is an anthropomorphic frog, specifically a glass frog with translucent skin.
Furry Confusion: Snakes are normally the natural predator of frogs, which makes her choice of pet very unusual indeed. That said, the character was created using suggestions made by Sam Riegel's six-year-old daughter, one of which is a pet snake (the character was originally designed for a fantasy setting where the snake was to be the character's familiar).
Go Out with a Smile: Clutching her favorite petri dish (the same she had hatched in) and a skin shedding from her snake Virgil, and after being told by Mother that she wasn't a disappointment and had completed her mission, she happily kills herself before the parasite can get her.
Insistent Terminology: Nomen is an astrobiologist, as she is quick to remind Cameron on one occasion. As she explains, she went through four extra years of school for the "astro" part of her title.
Oh, Crap!: After she discovers there is more than one Meanomorph aboard the ship, right before one of them infects her with a parasite.
Nomen: I think they're twinsies!
Skewed Priorities: She never stops worrying about her pet snake. The Nautilus has a hole in the hull and is leaking oxygen? Virgil! There are aliens aboard and they're really, really mean? Virgil! You're literally one room away from getting infected with a Chest Burster? Virgil!
Slashed Throat: Self-inflicted with a scalpel.
Too Dumb to Live: Sure, Nomen, run into the Meanomorph-infested science lab to go look for your pet snake immediately after discovering there are more than one of the creatures aboard the ship.
The Unseen: Not Nomen herself, obviously, but rather Virgil, who most likely had already been killed, eaten or worse by the time the first Meanomorph makes an appearance.

Sgt. Cameron Garrett

Gunnery Sergeant Cameron Garrett

Played by: Travis Willingham

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e_5rt2mxiaejtlv.jpg

Actually Pretty Funny: He admits to Dr. Frenno that yes, the idea of him doing math to help them is pretty funny.
Affectionate Parody: He plays every single Military Science Fiction stereotype to the hilt, but he's humanized just as much as the rest of the cast and is still a force to be reckoned with in actual combat. Well, mostly. (see Butt-Monkey)
Berserk Button: Do yourself a favour and don't touch his stogies.
The Big Guy: At 6'5" and 235lbs, Cameron absolutely towers over the rest of the Nautilus crew.
Big Guy Fatality Syndrome: By sheer coincidence, he is the most combat-ready, the first to be wounded, and the first to die.
Butt-Monkey: During the Meanomorph attack almost as much happens to him as it does to anyone else, including the alien. At one time, he is even accidentally shot by Captain Glass. For max damage. In the butt. Travis sums it up nicely:
Travis: I get a [piece of the Meanomorph] up the nose, I get my fucking helmet ripped off, smash to the face and shot in the ass!
Cruel and Unusual Death: Is the first crewmember to die, thanks to a Chest Burster. From the way Ashley describes it, it is definitely the kind of Nightmare Fuel you would expect from a love letter to Alien. Simply put: all that is left of him is his skin.
Dumb Muscle: Downplayed. He isn't stupid, but he is the only military person (outside of the Captain) on the ship, and his main focus is security, not science, unlike the highly adept scientists he is protecting.
I Call It "Vera": Calls his combat shotgun "Betsy." He also has names for the other weapons in the armory: he calls the flamethrower "Gertrude," the pulse rifle "Sally", the smart rifle "Rick", and the revolver "Foster". The only weapons he doesn't name are the tranquilizer gun (which is more of a medical device) and the laser torch (which is a tool).
Shot in the Ass: Accidentally by Captain Glass.

Elden Ring: O Ye of Little Faith One-Shot

A special one-shot done in collaboration with Bandai Namco to promote their new game: Elden Ring. The one-shot was played using heavily homebrewed rules created by Matthew Mercer.

Kara Gen

Class: Warrior
Played by: Marisha Ray

Dual Wielding: Is introduced by Marisha as wielding two scimitars.
I Just Want to Be Loved: Played for Laughs, but after seeing Nihil talk about their cat and how much they loved them, she declares how she wishes she ever knew that kind of love (the love of a beloved pet), with the others questioning if she's ever owned a hamster or goldfish. When she gets and names her stead, she immediately begins to declare how much she loves the spectral horse, while holding back tears.
Improvised Armor: Kara's armor is described to be mismatched parts of armor put together, some still fresh.

Marcus

Class: Enchanted Knight
Played by: Alexander Ward

Arbitrary Scepticism: Inverted; because of the weirdness of the world and the fact its a spectral horse, he expresses belief in the possibility of his stead having intelligence and being able to talk. He's mocked for it, not because there was no evidence to suggest they could talk, but for the arbitrary belief a horse talking would make it less beautiful and that's a hardline rule.
Butt-Monkey: Very quickly falls into this among the party due to attempting to have a badass title and being the only one not enamoured by Mariah's prophetess gimmick.
Only Sane Man: He's the only one not taken in by Mariah the Prophetess.
Surrounded by Idiots: His general reaction to... most things, considering the party he deals with.
The One Guy: The only guy in the party, due to both Sam and Brennan opting to play female characters.

Briggida

Class: Hero
Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan

Does Not Like Men: Downplayed, as they don't express any dislike for Marcus simply for being a guy, but when explaining why horses can't talk, their reason ultimately amounts to the belief the beauty of a horse would be ruined if it could express "guy opinions". Obviously Played for Laughs.
Dumb Muscle: Definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Pelts of the Barbarian: Briggida's armor sports some furs along with metal parts, fitting the theme.
Unexplained Accent: It's described as part Celtic, part Russian.

Mariah Van Der Ness

Class: Prophetess
Played by: Krystina Arielle

Blindfolded Vision: Mariah's eyes are blindfolded, but it doesn't stop her from helping her allies.
Phony Psychic: Her prophecies and words of wisdom are either Department of Redundancy Department, Ice-Cream Koan, or a In-Universe Captain Obvious Aesop. The party sans Marcus is taken with her regardless.

Nihl

Class: Bloody Wolf
Played by: Sam Riegel

Animals Hate Him: Despite formerly owning a cat, when she encounters the same cat, now turned into a giant lion-like creature, she rolls a Natural 1 and it bites off her arm. She fares slightly better with the wolves she summons, but the above incident is still... telling.
Insistent Terminology: Her name is not Neil, despite being pronounced similarly.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands One-Shot

A special one-shot done to promote the new game Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. This was a Bunkers and Badasses one-shot, inspired by the game and featuring Ashly Burch as the Bunker Master.

Played by: Ashley Johnson

Dewey D. Duty

Played by: Travis Willingham

Alliterative Name: Dewey D. Duty.

Kill-Pro Z 21 V. 2

Kill-Pro Z 21 V.2

Class: Assassin
Played by: Laura Bailey

A Familiar Problem: Sprinkle's Incredible Journey

The 68th special episode of Critical Role, featuring Marisha Ray as the Game Master using RPG rules designed by her and the co-creator of Honey Heist. This one-shot is dedicated to Matt and Marisha's late bird, Dagon.

Sprinkle

Class: Weasel
Played by: Travis Willingham

Butt-Monkey: In the two days since he was purchased and jettisoned from the safety and comfort of his cage, Sprinkle's life has, in Marisha's words, been fucking nuts. Since then, he's been yanked through sewers and flooded tunnels, dragged through the sea, sucked up into a Marid, witnessed the assault (and maybe murder) of several individuals who were just doing their jobs, and so on. Suffice to say, the past couple of days has left poor Sprinkle a little rattled. And he also has a strange blue lady with horns calling herself his mother.
Travis: (as Sprinkle) That bitch ain't my mom!
Death Seeker: Implied after Sprinkle is caught in rapids, falls down a waterfall and cracks his spine against a rock upon landing. He gets better.
Sprinkle: Finally.
Helium Speech: During Campaign Two, Travis often used a squeaky voice to joke about Sprinkle's suffering. As it turns out, this is actually how Sprinkle speaks.

Nugget

Class:Blink Dog
Played by: Laura Bailey

Achievements in Ignorance: He has no idea he teleports, just thinking he is in some random different places sometimes.
Heroic Sacrifice: Remains on the pier to keep Professor Thaddeus pinned while the other familiars escape on the Mist. Somewhat downplayed as Nugget is perfectly fine by the end of the one-shot, to say nothing of the rest of Campaign Two.
Precious Puppy: As the one-shot is set two days after the Mighty Nein purchase him and Sprinkle, Nugget is still a puppy, eating things that he shouldn't (and then throwing them up) and blinking to different locations every time he gets excited about something.

Toby

Class: Crab
Played by: Matthew Mercer

An Arm and a Leg: While the Mighty Nein are fighting men with crossbows^Note, Toby's claw gets pinned by Fjord's falchion, forcing him to snip it off. Since that is what crabs do, he's perfectly fine despite the missing claw.
Groin Attack: Inflicts one of these on Drudy, right before stealing his knife.
I Just Want to Be Loved: His only dream is to be somebody's familiar, but unfortunately for him nobody wants a crab as a familiar. Near the end of the one-shot, he become's one for CLAPP, serving her faithfully and calling her his Mistress.
Major Injury Underreaction: Is perfectly fine after he snips his claw off (see above under An Arm and a Leg), as that is what crabs do when they are injured or if they need to make a quick getaway from predators.
Memetic Mutation: After stealing a knife from Drudy, Toby becomes a crab with a knife◊.
Laura: I saw that video!

CLAPP

Class: Octopus
Played by: Heidi N Closet

Ambiguously Gay: Is implied to be in a relationship with Joanne.
Companion Cube: Her bucket, though it serves an additional purpose as it also carries water she needs to live.
Ironic Fear: CLAPP is an octopus that is afraid of water. Unfortunately for her, octopi need water to survive, so she has a panic attack when she has to immerse herself in her bucket. She eventually gets over it...slightly.
Meaningful Name: She's "the CLAPP" if you're nasty, because "the clap" is a euphemism for gonorrhea, a sexually-transmitted disease.
Overly Long Name: Clarence Ladasaul Abraham Pawtucket Pat. Or CLAPP for short. The CLAPP, if you're nasty.

Joanne

Class: Pseudodragon
Played by: Isabella Roland

Ambiguously Gay: Is implied to be in a relationship with CLAPP.
Must Have Nicotine: She smokes a magically lit cigar like a chimney. There was also that one time she used it like sage to calm a panicking Sprinkle.

SPOILER CHARACTER

Professor Thaddeus

Class: Owl
Played by: Archie the Owl, Marisha Ray (voice)

The Dreaded: Apparently Professor Thaddeus has a reputation among the animals as this according to Froga Yaga.
I Have Many Names: See below, under Names to Run Away from Really Fast.
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: The Harbinger of Screams, The Verminator, The Talon of Assmoldius and The Bird of Prey to the Wildmother He Doesn't Find You.
Sealed Evil in a Can: How Froga Yaga describes him, having heard that he was captured and caged but had recently escaped. When the familiars encounter Thaddeus in Nicodranas, he pretty much confirms this.
Thaddeus: You see, [Sprinkle and Nugget] both saw me locked in that metallic prison, restraining me from my destiny.

Choose Their Adventure... Again! (Red Nose Day 2023)

A special oneshot taking place in the Shattered Teeth, this party (quickly dubbed "The Glorious Ones") is tasked with the security of a grand village celebration, only to get wildly sidetracked by a very clumsy woman, a talking apple, and a giant crab.

In General

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: It's only after they kill the giant crab and serve its meat to the village that they learn that the crab was actually a very important guardian spirit that keeps the village safe. They immediately skip town before anyone connects the dots.

Bobby

Bobby Socks

Race: Halfling
Class: Druid
Played by: Taliesin Jaffe

Cheerful Child: He is barely 15, and relentlessly optimistic.
Eat the Evidence: When Sarge tells him not to take notes on the fact that he was framed for murder, Bobby rips the page out of his notebook and eats it.
Parental Neglect: His father Kent barely seems to tolerate his presence. He refers to himself as Bobby's "donor" rather than his father, and tells Bobby off for calling him "dad". When explaining where he found the mysterious egg in his backpack, Bobby starts telling the group about how he was walking along the beach with his dad, only to correct himself and say that he was actually alone, since his dad was too busy to take him to the beach.
The Pollyanna: While he seems aware of the fact that his dad doesn't like him, he remains very cheerful and clearly loves the man a lot.

Bramble

Race: Fairy
Class: Barbarian
Played by: Laura Bailey

Pintsized Powerhouse: She's about a foot tall, and can lift a fully grown halfling into the air.

Ran

Ranthiel

Race: Human
Class: Warlock
Played by: Sam Richardson

Sarge

Race: Halfling
Class: Ranger
Played by: Tony Hale

Comedic Sociopathy: In order to gain the powers of the mysterious talking apple, he decides to eat it. He continues eating it even after it starts screaming in pain, and doesn't seem particularly remorseful after.

Race: Gnome
Class: Bard
Played by: Sam Riegel
