The many faces of End Run.
NOTE: Bear in mind that (with the exception of a few characters deliberately created to be villains) End Run tends to operate on a Good Versus Good structure - most characters are sympathetic to their own side, so try to avoid using antagonist tropes where you can (or at least, make sure you add in something for balance).
- Alphabetize your tropes please.
- Keep any additional notes concise and informative. Humor accepted, but limit rambling.

Johto Officers
Johto Minister of Defense
Roy Rommel
A veteran of the first war and well-known as Johto's 'Winter Fox'. Enjoys a good spot of table-flipping and has an unhealthy obsession with his Beartic, Vladimir.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Had a child's pool set up in his office for his Vaporeon. Brings his Beartic to the movies.
- Hot-Blooded: Has a chart dedicated to the art of table flipping.
Rogue Officers
Rogue Leader
Jane Delancy
Once the head of Kanto's forces, her defection came as a surprise during the Invasion of Ecruteak where she denounced the war and created the Rogues who would support neither side in their fight. She aims for a better understanding between human and Pokemon through peace.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Hides the nature of her job from her husband with the pretext of running a cupcake delivery service and is not above dragging soldiers into the charade when he visits.
Rogue Right-Hand Medic
John Henry
- Canis Major: His signature mon, Remus, is a Lucario large enough to strap a RIDING SADDLE on. Put in perspective, other Lucario are either kanagaroo-sized (Regulus), or no bigger than a mundane wolf (Uriel).
Kanto Team
Soldiers
Adrohai Arnsgail
A veteran of the first war who came out of retirement and aims to protect the younger generation.
- Large Ham: Majored in Rousing Speeches. With honors.

- Gun Nut: Often found polishing guns even though they no longer work.
Others
Alexander Bacciarelli
- Brainy Brunette: He's a doctor, and a psychiatrist. Bonus points for having glasses and being a history buff.
- Cool Horse: More like a FLAMING Clydesdale horse. Celsius is one intimidating pony.
- City of Canals: Hails from Alto Mare and speaks Venetian.
- Real Men Cook: Want some handmade Italian chow? Cannelloni? Spaghetti? Carbonara? He has it covered.
Ivy Devon
"LET'S DO IT!"
Heiress to the Devon Corporation. The public backlash for posing in a recruitment poster without joining the war, coupled with her father's failing business, prompts her to enter the war effort.
- Dating What Daddy Hates: First it was Alistair Landon, and now Alexander Bacciarelli. Daddy approves of neither.
- Disability Superpower: Her arm can't move unless it's covered by her Beldum. Fortunately, he makes a very interesting buckler and punches with the strength of a Take-Down attack.
- Extra-ore-dinary: Her team is exclusively Steel-type.
- Large Ham: STATEMENT: HER BELDUM TALKS IN NOTHING BUT CAPS. FOR HE IS THE BRAAAAINIAC!!!
- Shout-Out: Her 'infamous' Let's Do It! Poster◊ is a homage to the J Howard Miller's 'We Can Do It!' poster.
- I Am Very British: Has a Londoner's RP accent. Her father's a Quintessential British Gentleman, complete with tea-drinking habits.
Lorelei 'Lulu' Alhambra
- Verbal Tic: Tends to refer to people as 'sugar'.
Rosetta Montague
Creator: Icytemporalist
“There are two ways of doing things: The Hoennian way and the wrong way. I'm Hoennian and..."
- Kangaroos Represent Australia:
Word of God says Regulus has Kangaskhan ancestry because Rosetta wasn't 'Aussie enough'. - Never Bareheaded: Subverted, a recent update to her app art includes a picture her not wearing her hat.
- Patriotic Fervor: For Hoenn to an alarming degree. It's worthwhile to note she's a member of the Hoennian Air Force, rather than anything Johto.
- Wrench Wench: Though calling her "Spanner" a "Wrench" can be a Berserk Button. See also: British English with a dash of Aussie colloquialisms.
Galahad Acharya
An idealistic priest hailing from Hoenn who hopes to bring god a little closer to his flock.- Dreaming of Things to Come: Been having "visions" in the form of nightmares since R3.
'Captain' E.T. Crowley
Creator: TheCrowchan
'After this? Veilstone, baby! VEILSTONE!'
A landlocked smuggler in Goldenrod City.
- A Pirate 400 Years Too Late: (Although the amount of actual PIRATING that ends up getting done is up for debate.)
- Bad Guy Bar: The Vile Plume is one of these, but it's largely the Captain's fault, as the other bar patrons seem friendly enough, if lazy and gullible.
- Bar Brawl: A drunken combination of Kung-Shui and Wrestler in All of Us, since she seems less concerned with who she's fighting with, and more about breaking things and making a mess.
-
Cargo Ship: The Captain's sole canon ship is with Queen Roxie's Revenge, a fishing boat. - Cute Mute: Torgo, the Captain's Ekans, who communicates mostly through pantomime and woobie facial expressions.
- Fan of Underdog: Sergei Ruchkin went from boogeyman to Memetic Badass to Truman Show for everybody in the Vile Plume.
- Grumpy Old Man / Hates Everyone Equally: Sort of. She hangs out with soldiers, idolizes a cavalryman from an opposing nation, and seems to get along with people one-on-one, but hates the war for spoiling her business model, hates Johto for taking her boat, and hates Kanto for moving into Goldenrod when she had important drinking to do.
- Team Pet: Torgo's become a kind of mascot to the macho, quarrelsome, bunch occupying the Vile Plume, and the Captain is especially fond of him.
Rogues Team
Soldiers
Barbara Ritter
“What else can I say? I’ve chosen the only path that didn’t involve me being a glorified bloodhound. I can’t say that we are ‘better’ but…I’ll certainly know the answer when someone decides to make my head roll in the literal way.”
Creator: Klatschmohnkuchen
- Badass Longcoat: She's had it ever since she became part of the Military Police. By now, it really has seen better times.
- Deadpan Snarker: Is pretty fond of using sarcasm. She does, however, lose her snarky exterior pretty quickly, the moment one of her various Berserk Buttons are pushed.
- Defector from Decadence: From her own point of view. She joined the Rogues' ranks after witnessing POW treaties getting broken left and right. Not to mention her general disenchantment over the whole war and the way it's being handled.
- The Idealist -> Knight in Sour Armor: Started out as the former with a fairly optimistic worldview. As of late, she's been progressively evolving into the latter as she keeps on getting confronted with the ugliest sides of war.
- It Gets Easier: Barbara's still averse to wantonly killing people, but she's starting to lose her reservations about retaliating violently.
- Luminescent Blush: Her skin turns into a red, blotchy mess, the more embarrassed or angry she gets. It's not particularly flattering, though.
- Mama Bear: Barbara might have left her home and family behind, but she's still likely to snap at anyone to speak ill of her kids.
- The Masochism Tango: Pretty much sums up her entire "relationship" with Damiano. Least to say, it's not a healthy one. Nope.
Ciel Lethe
Creator: Yuriakashu- Geek Physiques: The skinny kind, not the other. Still can't do push-ups.
- How Do I Shot Web?: Shenanigans with psychic powers include accidentally reading minds and scrap parts flying randomly about.
- Second Hour Superpower: Finding out he's a psychic.
Daniel Streak
- Dual Wielding : One machete isn't enough for this guy.
Joshua Imala
Creator: White-Rabbitgirl
“I thought if I serve out my sentence. I would earn my freedom. But I was unprepared for..any of 'this'. ”
A Unovan-born native whose wanderlust lands him up in the hands of Johto's authority who press him into conscription. Originally part of the Johto Army, defected after watching his squad kill off one of their own.

- Fantastically Indifferent: Nothing seems to surprise him anymore.
- Fish out of Water: Was formerly a traveler on a walkabout in Johto's mountains before being forcefully conscripted into their ranks.

- Big Brother Instinct: On the run from his family in Sinnoh to protect his sister. The Rogues offering her protection also played a part in his defection.

- Genius Book Club: Les Miserables and the works of Thomas Aquinas to be specific. The second more often during his time in the Rebellion.
- Horrible Judge of Character: Sees absolutely nothing wrong with Johann and sticks with Rory despite spates of physical abuse.
- Mr. Fanservice. Scars? Check. Accent? Check. When not donning chic uniforms can often be found shirtless or swathed in bandages or both. Liberally.

An Unovan-born man who illegally immigrated over to Johto when he was a young man to escape the grasp of the local Mafia. Not only did he get caught up with another Mafia by complete accident, he somehow got himself recruited into the Johto military as a special ops sniper until he went turncoat.
