Background Information

• Always Chaotic Evil (their reputation, though individual members sometimes avert this, and Word Of God is that they deliberately play up looking evil as part of their battle tactics)
• Animal Motifs (their clan mount is the snake◊, and Word Of God is that the large snakes they ride actually belonged to the Dutan'vir originally and were engineered by the Jaal'darya)
• Army of Thieves and Whores (the Vloz'ress is the last stop for many of the most desperate people in Chel, and the life expectancy of their troops can be measured in weeks.)
• Bedlam House (essentially what their fortress is)
• Chronic Backstabbing Disorder (a prerequisite for anyone who wants to gain power in the clan)
• Dark Is Not Evil (under Ven'ndia, they were weird but harmless, and despite being demon worshipers sought to learn from them rather than use them as weapons. Thoroughly averted once Sene'kha took over)
• Dwindling Party (in chapter 41, Kiel's group infiltrating the Beldrobbaen fortress gets gradually picked down after they make their escape. Kiel Lampshades this and, as the protagonist, decides to be the one to make the last stand to put an end this trope, sending Vicyl and Fame away.)
• Eldritch Location (invoked, their fortress is intentionally designed to confuse people who enter it, including golems that reached out and attack you as you enter)
• Evil Is Visceral (their fortress definitely seems to play off this)
• Mask Power (everyone in the clan wears masks, likely playing off of Kharla's appearance, and Word Of God is that they intentionally make themselves look scary)
• Meaningful Rename (Kiel convinces Kharla to change the Vel prefix to Val as a matter of signalling her efforts to reform the clan, and likely as a middle finger to the Sharen.)
• Ragtag Bunch of Misfits (originally, and after becoming a "proper" Val clan they're the most internally disorganized of the nine Great Clans, and next to the Sarghress and Nal'Sarkoth are probably the most diverse clan in terms of race)
• The Unfavorite (nobody likes the Vloz'ress, just check the clan relations chart. Even the Sharen, who were behind the Vloz's rise to power, only like them on the surface, everyone else either hates them or is neutral towards them.)
• Unwitting Pawn (it's stated several times that the Vloz are really nothing more than a pawn of the Sharen. After the Timeskip however, this seems to have been lessened as Kiel has taken to openly opposing them though she's not as free of their control as she thinks since she's still aiding Snadhya'rune's goals)

Kharla'ggen Vel'Vloz'ress

• Absolute Cleavage
• Ambiguous Disorder (There's no question that there's something, or more likely several things, severely wrong with Kharla thanks to her unique taint, but her behavior overall resembles some form of mental retardation. It's also been shown that she's more or less harmless when not being goaded into dollifying people.)
• Big Sister Instinct (Seems to have developed one of these for Kiel'ndia. This is Kharla, though, so she still may turn on Kiel at any minute, just like she did to poor Ven'ndia, and Larvova explicitly warns Kiel about this.)
• Blue and Orange Morality (Kharla is so crazy that regular morality just doesn't apply to her)
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass (crazy or not, cross Kharla and you will pay, as the Sharen sent to attack them found out the hard way)
• The Caligula (despite her better aspects, she's still this trope through and through)
• Dark-Skinned Redhead (not naturally, since her hair was originally white)
• Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu? (any scene with her that doesn't end with someone getting dollified turns out like this. Bonus points for involving literal tea a couple times.)
• Fan Disservice (everything about her since she has a beautiful body that's shown off with low cut tops but is insane)
• Girls Love Stuffed Animals (she loves plushies)
• The Glomp (to Naal, and yes, Kharla manages to make a glomp terrifying)
• Happily Adopted (she was this to Ven'ndia until Sene'kha manipulated things, and after the timeskip she and Kiel seem to have a functional sisterly relationship)
• Humanoid Abomination (even among the tainted Kharla is unique, hence Sene'kha's plans to use her in her plan to take over Chel)
• I Am Legion (it's heavily implied that she has multiple people in her head, and thus refers to herself as "we", and not in the Royal "We" sense. Kiel even comments that it means that Kharla's probably never felt alone)
• Insane Equals Violent (subverted, despite her insanity Kharla only seems to be violent when provoked, and she usually has to be goaded into it)
• Living Doll Collector (She's the page image.)
• Mask Power (sort of, since the mask was actually to keep her from chewing her own fingers)
• Obliviously Evil (it's been hinted that she doesn't have the mental capacity to understand the full extent of what she's doing. Notably, Kiel doesn't blame her for what happened to her mother, while she does blame Sene'kha)
• Puppet Ill'haress (but not if Kiel has anything to say about it...)
  • And played with after the timeskip. It's fairly obvious that while Kiel essentially runs things Kharla still acts as a figurehead/way to dispose of troublesome people (as Maki found out firsthand) but it seems to be more that Kharla doesn't have any interest in the clan's day to day affairs.
• Puppet Permutation (her specialty)
• Psychopathic Manchild (for some, the childish traits she shows just make her more terrifying, while for others, her playing with a rubber duck while bathing to be absolutely adorable. And the extent she's actually psychopathic is debateable, since it seems that a lot of her actions were just her doing as Sene'kha told her to)
• Rage Against The Reflection (The first time she saw her face in a mirror, she had a Freak Out and tried to tear her own face off. Her mask is the only thing that keeps her calm)
• Self-Made Orphan (The Char sidestory strongly implies that she dollified her parents, though it's left ambiguous as to whether this was an accident or if they did something to provoke her)
• Shout Out (possibly, since her hairstyle and mask make her resemble Washuu)

Kiel'ndia Vel'Vloz'ress

Link

• Animal Motifs (turtles, due to her statement that the Netheworld is "turtles all the way to infinity")
• Bi the Way (though bisexuality is the norm in drow society, she directly states that while she'd like a harem of princes, she'd also take at least one princess, just for fun's sake. She's also expressed interest in both Nau'kheol and Chry'stel, and her relationship with Naal and seems halfway serious about making out with a guard.)
  • Then there's her reaction to being saved by Chrys'tel and Nau'kheol in chapter 41, saying that if the prince is too busy to give her mouth-to-mouth she'll take the princess. The two of them react like you'd expect.
• Big "NO!" (upon seeing Naal get stabbed)
• Break the Cutie (She's undoubtedly gone through this, between watching her mother get turned into a puppet, whatever else she's seen in the Vloz'ress, seeing her best friend taken over by her seed and being poisoned)
• Breaking the Fourth Wall (her habit of talking to her "imaginary friend" who just happens to be in the same place as the reader is seen by the other characters as a symptom of madness)
  • Later manifests as a Tear Jerker after Naal's death when she tells the "audience" to leave her alone and throws a belt at them.
    • Don't link to it. What part of leaving her alone don't you understand?
  • By the Time Skip, she apparently even has actual knowledge from beyond the fourth wall and her "imaginary friend" has gone from being the point-of-view of the panel to a swarm of black demons that follow her around.
• The Chessmaster (one in training)
• A Child Shall Lead Them (after Sene'kha's death she begins taking over the clan, and by the time of the timeskip seems to have more or less succeeded, at least as much as one can with a group like the Vloz'ress)
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander ('cuckoo lander' barely even begins to describe all the crazy stuff that floats through her head)
  • The Cloudcuckoolander Was Right (it seems she really was right about there still being something left of Naal in Demon!Naal and she correctly realizes that she's actually in a comic)
• Despair Event Horizon (Naal's seed taking her over nearly causes her to cross it, to the point that she's willing to let Demon!Naal eat her, but luckily there's enough of Naal's mind left that she pushes Kiel out instead)
• Emergency Transformation (subverted, it was All Just a Dream, much to fans' relief)
• Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas (the "bad" is up for debate since she's one of the more decent Vloz'ress, but she certainly loved her mother and was devastated by what happened to her)
• Exotic Eye Designs (after the timeskip, she displays the same sort of white spiral in her eyes as Sha'sana on several occasions, which most likely represents how she's merged with her seed completely)
• Faking the Dead (In chapter 41, Nau'kheol and Chrys'tel help her throw Nir'naya off her trail thanks to Chrys'tel's blood sorcery making it look like they killed her)
• Five Stages of Grief (immediately after Naal's horrific demise she shows classic signs of stage 1, denial)
  • Now seems to be quite fully into stage 2, anger, and later seems to have bypassed 3 to go right to 4, despair.
• Flipping the Bird (gives both barrels at once to Khaless)
• Harmful to Minors (seeing her mother get dollified seems to only have been the tip of the iceberg as far as what she's experienced. She's also tellingly referred to as Ven'ndia's only surviving daughter, implying that she's also lost siblings to the violence in her clan)
• Hearing Voices (A side effect of being tainted and experiencing a Split Personality Merge with a human-like demon. The voices she hears are actually the fragments of the demon's personality.)
• Hostile Show Takeover (she's taken over the Drowtales Twitter account (*
  the real reason is that it wasn't being used as often as the creators intended
  ) and promptly demanded a tribute of princes, though she'd also accept princesses)
  • She also has her own Facebook account now.
• Humiliation Conga (she puts Chiri through one of these in the "Netherworld TV" series of flash animations, which are shown to have taken place before the events of chapter 41 and emboldened her to carry out later events.)
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold
• Kid Hero (played straight and then horribly deconstructed when she almost gets killed by poisoning, has a nightmare where she gets a doll body and Larvova scolds her to emphasize how stupid it is to try to do it all on her own)
• I Have the High Ground (With difficulty)
• The Lad-ette (despite being only 24, or physically 12 by human standards, she fits this among the other female characters in terms of personality. After the timeskip even more so.)
• Lampshade Hanging (in chapter 32 she breaks the fourth wall and addresses how reckless opening the morgue where Demon!Naal is trapped is)
• Loveable Sex Maniac ("Princes, I tell you. Lots of them. Just. Waiting. For. Me!"◊)
  • She's already claimed Nau'kheol.
  • And Chrys'tel.
• Medium Awareness (seems aware that she's in a comic, and the final Ask Kiel page says that she'll be showing up in the story proper on September 4th, and then in the comic itself makes a reference to Daydream, another section of the website)
• Messy Hair (not immediately obvious, but just compare her hair when it's down here to when Naal manages to brush it out at the cost of her hairbrushes. Not washing it for a long time will do that.)
• Not Me This Time (Chiri of all people comes to this conclusion when she hears it theorized that Kiel killed Shimi'lande, since while it does fit Kiels' M.O. she thinks certain things do not match up.)
• Odd Friendship (With Naal, since they are from the newest clan to Chel and one of the oldest respectively, and Naal comes from wealth and privilege while Kiel comes from the opposite, even after the Vloz'ress rise to Val-hood.)
• Playing with Fire (It isn't her elemental affinity, but she is able to manipulate it thanks to the foci embedded in her gauntlets.)
• Powers via Possession (Some of Kiel'ndia's unique abilities seem to have something to do with the demon she was tainted with.)
• Rapunzel Hair (not immediately obvious since it's usually in a ponytail, and in one chibi page Naal even says that Kiel's hair is longer than hers)
• Refuge in Audacity (her strategy for entering Beldrobbaen territory to assassinate Diva's body double is to brazenly ride up in a turtle tank while making small talk with the sniper and guards patrolling. And then offer to make out with one of the guards. And it works.)
• Replacement Goldfish (played for laughs in one chibi page where she makes a Naal'ga then not so much when we see that she actually did it.)
  • It's also stated that one reason she likes Nau'kheol is that he reminds her of Naal.
• Romantic Two-Girl Friendship (with Naal, see this)
  • Yeah. Really. Now seems to be Les Yay.
• The Scapegoat: She was planning to eventually murder Shimi'lande on Snadhya'rune's behalf, but she never actually gets the chance. A different assassin does the deed while disguised as her, successfully fooling the Kyorl. Ironically Chirinide seems to be the one person who doubts this version of events despite their history together.
• She Cleans Up Nicely (courtesy of Naal)
• Shotacon (played for laughs, but not as squicky as some examples since it's more innocent than anything and they're not too far apart in age)
• Take That, Audience! (Mentions that a couple of the voices in her head want her to "get it on with [Khaless], but hey, they're Daydreamers")
• Tomboyish Ponytail
• Tomboy and Girly Girl (the tomboy to Naal's girly girl, and to a lesser extent with Kharla, who tends to wear more feminine clothing that Kiel)
• Took a Level in Jerkass (In her first appearance after the 15 year timeskip she orders Shoki and Baliir to break Maki's arm, and it's implied that she'd been torturing or at the very least threatening the other members of Maki's gang. This more ruthless side of her had been hinted at before, especially with her response to the attempt on her life where she nearly killed Nyo'ka, but it was still a shock to most fans. She also flat out refers to herself as a tyrant when talking to Baliir)
  • Played with later when talking to Fame, she keeps up the Tyrant act, then when her minions are out of ear shot greets her cousin slightly more warmly, and hints half the time she's putting on an act. Then threatens her again.
• Trauma Conga Line (Chapter 27 has Naal's death and then chapter 28 has her break down because of Naal's death, then be poisoned and have a nightmare where her body has become a doll and only live because one of her rivals was forced to save her life by Kharla, and then she's reminded of her own mother when she bursts in to kill Nyo'ka and sees her kids, and then break down again)
• Unwitting Pawn (Not entirely so, but when Kiel assassinates the false empress with Khaless's help, it is unlikely that she fully understands just how insidious Snadhya'rune's plans are. In fact, Khaless offers to let Kiel be a proxy in assassinating quite a few major figures, which would greatly help Snadhya'rune's efforts to create a power vacuum.)
• Well-Intentioned Extremist (after the timeskip she winds up parroting some of what Balirr's said about the clan system, and Word Of God is that she's not consciously aware of it but has been around him enough that it's rubbed off)
• Wild Card (post-timeskip, she seems to be one of those to the Sharen Sarghress War. While she likes Zala'ess, she opposes the Sharen as a whole, but hates the Sarghress as well. Her actions, like assassinating Diva'ratrika's body double are described by her as her attempt to throw a wrench into the entire status quo. She hopes to assassinate Quain'tana next.)
• Wolverine Publicity (gets a certain amount of this since the start of Arc 2. Besides now being one of the "face" characters in the Rotating Arcs, she's also shown up in most of the other site's archives including the Relic Hunter games and Slavemaster.)
• Wrong Context Magic (her ability to see and hear the readers is the only known case of this ability in the setting)
• Your Mom (seems to like this tactic)

Mir'kiin Vel'Vloz'ress

• Asshole Victim (he may have had it coming, but the way he goes out is still pretty gruesome)
• Delinquents (he eventually gets kicked out of all his classes at Orthorbbae, forcing him to leave the school where Ariel nabs him)
• Dying Curse (his last words are promising that Kharla will kill all of them)
• Groin Attack (he tries this on Ariel, and when he finds there's nothing to grab he figures out that she's female)
• Fail O'Suckyname (it's not known if it was intentional, but his name is a homophone for Merkin, a pubic wig)
• He-Man Woman Hater (he's definitely this, even telling Ariel after he finds out her gender that "I thought you were a freak, but you're worse, you're female!", but it was never explained why. In fact when he stabs Ariel he can be seen happily murmuring that "there will be one less female in the world" as he makes his getaway. Might have something to do with his experience with the Vloz'ress nether summoners, all of whom are female and prone to Chronic Backstabbing Disorder)
• Jerkass (his first words are complaining that he doesn't want to be in a class with a bunch of "girly freaks" and he gets progressively more jerkish, attempting to kill Ariel and later attacking her when they're on the same team)
• Unsettling Gender Reveal (he discovers Ariel's real gender by accidental Crotch Grab Sex Check)

• Ambiguous Disorder (his preference for golems over people suggests this, though it might be because of his experiences in the cut-throat Vloz'ress. It's also implied that he's always been a little odd.)
• Artificial Limbs (in addition to his natural arms, has two golem arms as well)
• Basement Dweller (resides in the bottom of the old Vloz'ress tower)
• Mad Eye (flashbacks show one of his irises noticeably larger than the other, and now one is a golem prosthetic on his left eye)
• Mad Scientist
• Shrinking Violet (he makes it clear that he doesn't want to involve himself in politics)

Sene'kha Vel'Vloz'ress

• The Chessmaster
• Chronic Backstabbing Disorder (comes naturally with the Vloz'ress, but Sene'kha seemed to be especially good at it to not only get her position, but hold it for as long as she did)
• The Dog Bites Back (Kiel refuses to help her escape and leaves her to be executed)
• Manipulative Bastard (is heavily implied to have purposely arranged Kiel's mother's death, and a sidestory shows that she actually went looking for Kharla and found her in her insane state)
• Off with His Head! (but not before beating stabbed, beaten up, and then after being beheaded set on fire and having her aura sealed for good measure)
• Rasputinian Death (see above)
• Shout Out (her name is likely a reference to Seneca the Younger, an advisor to Emperor Nero who was executed for supposedly being complicit in an assassination plot)
• The Starscream (it's heavily implied that she pulled this on Kiel's mother)
• Suicide by Cop (she tries this after Kiel refuses to help her break out, and screams after her insults about her mother while her thought bubbles indicate that she wants Kiel to kill her so she can be "set free", i.e. either spared the Kyorl execution, able to release her seed to cause more destruction, or both. Unfortunately for Sene'kha, Kiel's already left.)
• Well-Intentioned Extremist (Not that it makes her at all sympathetic, but she technically qualifies. She and her followers believed that the clan system was the cause of many of Chel's problems and destined to collapse. It was their goal to use a living superweapon to forcibly abolish it in favor of a democratic government.)

Kes'sen Vloz'ress

• Badass (look what it takes to kill him!)
• The Dragon (to Sene'kha)
• Dual Wielding
• Eyes Do Not Belong There (when his seed starts to awaken he gains a second set of eyes above his own)
• Karmic Death (Kiel intentionally invokes this by using her mother's golem against him)
• Rasputinian Death ( Is set upon by nagas, and after fighting through them narrowly survives a manabomb, two stab wounds to the abdomen, and a fire blast. Then he releases his seed only to have his head split by Kiel'ndia's chain weapon. People on the forums agree that this takes the cake for Rasputinian Deaths out of all the characters in the comic.)
• Scars Are Forever (has several scars on his face)
• Unholy Matrimony (we never see them really interact, but it can be inferred he had this relationship with Sene'kha, though the gender roles were flipped due to drow society)

Larvova

• Enemy Mine (winds up in this situation with Kiel after she's poisoned and forced to save her life)
• Facial Markings (has what are probably tattoos that resemble stitch marks all over her face)
• In the Hood (almost always has her hood up)
• Only Sane Man (she comes off as considerably more level headed than many other Vloz)
• Number Two (the fact that she sits in for Sene'kha after her execution during the gathering of the Clans suggests that she was already fairly high ranked)
• Put on a Bus (after the timeskip it's said that she's leaving for Felde, and if you connect the dots is probably going to Snadhya'rune's gathering)

Nyo'ka

• Chekhov's Gunman (the scourges with her in this scene appear later to watch Kiel succumb to the poison)
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones (what Kiel realizes when she bursts in to kill Nyo'ka and sees her kids. See also Not So Different.)
• Not So Different (Kiel realizes this when her children come out after Kiel burst in to kill her and is reminded of her own mother)
• Pet the Dog (the way she talks about her children)
• Put on a Bus (she did this to her kids by sending them to the Illhar'dro city of Nuqrah'shareh, though she had referenced earlier that she was going to do this, and the two of them later appear in chapters 33 and 34, where their names are revealed to be Tamiir (the boy) and Kys'sae (the girl))
• Snakes Are Sexy (she's seen with a snake wrapped around one of her arms a couple times)
• Unwitting Pawn (Kiel was poisoned in such a way that Kharla thought Larvova did it, but Kharla was smart enough to get Larvova to save Kiel instead. Because Nyo'ka's scourges show up to watch Kiel thought that Nyo'ka ordered it, but they were in fact acting on their own, hoping to turn Kharla against Larvova. It nearly cost Nyoka her life, so needless to say she wasn't pleased with them, and one of them gets killed for his troubles. Kiel later feeds his body to Demon!Naal.)

Ven'ndia

puppet body

• Fate Worse Than Death
• And I Must Scream (her puppet body is implied to still be conscious)
• Deal with the Devil (she tainted herself knowing the risks, and it's heavily implied that Snadhya'rune wanted her to help with the Nidraa'chal War and/or her faulty seeds, and when she refused they were attacked)
• Deceased Parents Are The Best (Demon worshipper or not, she's one of the best parents in the series. And dead. We think.)
• Hope Spot: (A small one for Kiel that Ven'ndia's golum reacts to Kiel's voice commands when anyone else needs to use a certian command. Kiel touchs on it slightly and tries to convince herself Sene'kha did it to mess with her to avoid the above And I Must Scream.)
• Spell My Name with an S (Is it Ven'nedia, as she is called in Chapter 11, or Ven'ndia, as in Chapter 24 and after? It appears to be the second, and like Snadhya'runes vs. Snadhya'rune, has been quietly changed in the later chapters)
• The Farmer And The Viper (poor, poor Ven'ndia, she was just trying to help Kharla)
• Woman in White (her preferred style of dress suggests this)

Kuso and Baliir

• The Big Guy (Baliir)
• Gentle Giant (Baliir, when he's not curb stomping people who challenge him)
• Heterosexual Life Partners
• Hyper Competent Sidekick: (Kiel states the reason the Volz have districts is because Baliir runs everything, after the Time Skip he seems to be her Number Two.)
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold (possibly Kuso, who despite his mouth doesn't seem that bad in general)
• Punch Clock Villain (Kuso, at least, just joined to have some place to stay and work. Baliir on the other hand seems to genuinely believe in Sene'kha's cause)
• Mr. Fanservice (Kuso, as of this page, which caused many to express surprise that he's so pretty under the helmet)
• Number Two: (Baliir to Kiel.)
• Punny Name ("Kuso" is a Japanese curse roughly equivalent to "damn" or "shit", and Kuso has quite the short fuse and foul mouth)
• Sir Swearsalot (Kuso)
• Those Two Guys
• The Unreveal (at one point Baliir takes off his mask, and it disturbs the other customers enough that Kuso asks him to put it back on, but we don't actually get to see his face. Probably a good thing, if you consider what Larvova's berserker looks like.)
• Warrior Poet (Baliir)
• Well-Intentioned Extremist (Baliir)

Ni'bai

• Angsty Surviving Twin (considering that her sister is a demon, or at the very least a possessed summon, this trope is pretty easy to infer. As both have an apostrophe in their names (signaling Val status) its implied that they were actually biological twins rather than a protector-twin set up, making Ni'bai's angst status even more telling.)
• Dark-Skinned Blond (like Nishi'kanta, though hers is obviously dyed since you can see her roots.)
• Defector from Decadence (she left the Sharen after the Nidraa'chal War)
• Dragon Ascendant (After Sene'kha's death, Ni'bai announces that she'll finish the job Sene'kha started. Appropriately, as a former Sharen she's also a dragon in another sense as well.)
• Facial Markings (like Kiel, has red lines that look like tear marks under her eyes)
• Ignored Epiphany (not Ni'bai herself, but when she tries to tell Desmonde Kyorl'solenurn the truth about the War she's ignored)
• Noble Fugitive (as seen above, Ni'bai was a former Sharen Val. Why she left the Sharen after the Nidraa'chal War isn't ouright stated but its easy to infer that she found out the truth behind the War and the attack on her grandmother)
• Number Two (was evidently something like this to Sene'kha, and uses her notes to continue the project to use Discordia as a summoning conduit after her death)
• Stripperiffic (not by human standards save for her Impossibly Low Neckline, but by drow standards walking around with a bare neck makes her even naughtier than Mel with her dental floss)

Nainai

• Bilingual Bonus (Her name is a Chinese honorific for 'grandmother')
• But Not Too White (averted, since she may be a Rift Halme who was born underground, and thus has no natural coloring)
• The Caretaker
• Cool Old Lady
• Milky White Eyes (on account of being blind)
• Never Mess with Granny (fans have decided that she must be this if she's survived in the Vloz fortress)
• Parental Substitute (to both Kiel and Kharla)
• We Are As Mayflies (compared to the fae she lives with, and it's implied that she died during the 15 year timeskip, but justified since she was already quite old)

Umpus Vloz'ress

• Anime Hair (has short and spiky hair not seen on any other male character)
• Blank White Eyes (save for red schlera, this signifies that he is fully demon, not merely a tainted drow)
• Distaff Counterpart (this appears to be the case with him and Khaless, though its unknown how their respective power levels match up)
• Facial Markings (he is noticeably tattooed all over his upper body)
• Fluffy Tamer (was visibly sympathetic to Discordia whilst the latter was being captured, stroking her arm and referring to her as "a poor thing", while the other characters just comment on how easy it was to capture the shard. He also attempts to reason with her in Chapter 12.)
• Hidden Agenda Villain (it is too early to tell if he is a villain, but as of yet readers know nothing about his true motives or why he is helping Ni'bai)
• Tattooed Crook (as seen above, he is covered in body markings)

Maki Vloz'ress ( nee Sarghress)

• Dirty Cop (her backstory, since under Syphile's management she was apparently allowed to do whatever she wanted, but once Ariel took over she was demoted)
• Fallen Hero (at the end of Chapter 38, we see that her squad helped defend the district in the Nidraa'chal War. Word Of God is that Maki and her squad's fall from grace came from taking too many bribes until their reputation was soiled to the eyes of their peers within the Sarghress and the commoners they were supposed to protect)
• Fate Worse Than Death ( As punishment for attacking a district without Kiel's permission, she is given to Kharla as a new toy.)
• Female Misogynist (for some reason she does not like other females, as she points out when she reveals that she knows her "Scourge" is really Ariel in disguise because she doesn't recruit females)
• Playing with Fire (her specialty)
• Pyro Maniac
• Shadow Archetype (her gang is one of these to Ariel's squad, and Maki seems to be one for Ariel herself, in addition to being a former Sarghress)
• Shut Up, Hannibal! (she has this pulled on her by a Badass Bystander with a crossbow)

• Animal Motifs (spiders, unsurprising given her former clan)
• Antiquated Linguistics (one sign of her former Val status is when she tells Kiel that "the mistress is most wroth" and Kiel doesn't understand what she means)
• The Caretaker (fills this role for Kharla as her nurse after Nainai's death, but unlike Nainai she seems genuinely terrified of her charge)
• Defector from Decadence (is a former Beldrobbaen)
• Oh Crap (manages to emote this through her mask when Kiel suggests that she dress up as a Meido. Made even funnier by the Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises and one ear visibly drooping)

• Animal Motifs (goats, especially demon goats)
• Large Ham (considering who she's related to and the fact that she wants to be a rockstar this should be no surprise)
• Long Lost Relative (she's actually Kiel's cousin and one of the few survivors of Sene'kha's purge of the original Vloz'ress under Ven'nedia)
• Meaningful Name (Her name is Fame and she wants to be a rockstar, lampshaded by Kiel)
• The Remnant (one of the few surviving original Vloz'ress)
• Strong Family Resemblance (the reason why the Long Lost Relative reveal wasn't too much of a surprise)
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? (she really does not like fire, and considering she has what appears to be Kyorl branding on her forehead along with the Kyorl's usual SOP you can guess where it comes from)

• Butt Monkey: He himself recounts having been kicked out of so many clans he doesn't even seem to know where to go next.
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Due to being driven insane by his taint and inability to control his empathy, he tends to be very detached and quirky. Also tends to hallucinate seeing a talking stag-wolf demon.
• The Empath: Albeit a very bad one, seeing as how his inability to control his powers lead to his insanity.
• Heroic RROD: In Chapter 41 he gets badly injured in the escape from the Beldrobbaen fortress that his seed starts to take him over, and he stays behind for a Last Stand against the Beldorbbaen troops.
• In the Blood: In chapter 42 we meet his father Cas'nihlus, who is also an empath. And we find out that not all of Lok's insanity was because of the tainting.
• Perpetual Frowner: Even without the scars that make him look like he's constantly scowling this seems to be his default expression.
• Scars Are Forever: Has a collection of cheek scars, which were apparently given to him by his brother at the orders of his mother. No wonder he's so screwed up.
• Slasher Smile: The only times we've seen him smile in the comic, it was one of these.

• Butt Monkey: After Maki's caught her gets assigned to be Kiel's food taster in case of poison, which is rather practical on her part given what nearly happened to her.
• I Am A Humanitarian: At one point he's shown with what's probably another drow's finger casually hanging out of his mouth. According to his creator he used to be a butcher and developed a taste for drow flesh.
• Mad Eye: One of his irises is noticeably larger than the other.

• Drop the Hammer (His Weapon of Choice.)
• Only Sane Man (He's pretty neurotic, but he is also fairly rational. As a result, he tends to complain a lot about his comrades' crazy behavior.)
• Scars Are Forever

here

• Ax Crazy
• Genius Ditz: Maybe. She's an engineering assistant, but her specialty is "breaking things"
• The Hyena: Virtually all of her dialog is her laughing.
• Wild Child: She can best be described as a feral child.

Demon Princes

• Fandom Avatar (Apparently, these are the beings that Kiel has been talking to all along, and they represent the fanbase.)
• Blob Monster (They are usually relatively shapeless. Though the especially strong willed ones (fan cameos) can take more defined forms when they need to. They tend to acquire this ability around Naal. Strange things happen around her.)
• Cool Crown (They sprout these when they take on a humanoid appearance)
• Everything Is Better With Princesses (And Princes for that matter. One of the main reasons Kiel has them.)
• Familiar (Play this role to Kiel.)
• Fighting a Shadow (Demon princes start out immaterial just like most other demons. But on rare occasions, they acquire a physical body, much like a summon, enabling them to interact with the physical world without a host. If said physical body is destroyed, they merely return to their immaterial state, though they are still vulnerable to the weaknesses of any other demon, like getting sealed.)
• Flipping the Bird (They do this en mass at Khaless on Kiel's behalf.)
• From Beyond The Veil: As they are representational of the fanbase, they end up reflecting reader comments.
• Greek Chorus (often make comments on the situation, including one who lets loose a very loud "Bullshit!" in response to Khaless' claim that Snadhya'rune agrees with Kiel about the clan system)
• Horned Humanoid (When they take on a defined shape. At least some of them also have cloven hooves)
• Mind Hive (Sort of. Most of them are usually clustered into a a handful of multifaced entities, though individuals do split off and rejoin as they please.)
• Our Demons Are Different (Even by the setting's standards.)
• Snakes Are Sexy (Demon Princes/Princesses that manage to gain a defined form sometimes have serpent-like apparitions attached to their body. Sindas and his two snakes form more of a comedy trio, but it seems to be played straight with Bast.)
• Telepathy (The means by which they communicate with each other and Kiel. Any attempt to speak out normally won't work and no one else can hear them. But although they cannot be heard, they can still influence the thought processes of others.)
