History Characters / FloatingCastle

* ArcherArchetype

* MultiMeleeMaster: Prides himself on his knowledge and uses of various weapons and techniques associated with them. His current fighting style involves using a hand axe, his fists, and his massive sword, Ivory. Sometimes [[GreviousHarmWithABody his own opponents]].

* ForestRanger

* SimpleStaff: her primary weapon. The staff is used to channel magical energy, however, and has been used by all magical members of her family in the past.

* ChaoticGood

* LawfulGood

* [[spoiler: SamusIsAGirl]]

* HotBlooded: Reasonably so at most times, but taken UpToEleven in his interactions with his guildmates.

* KnifeNut: Which is basically something to do with her former occupation.

* KnifeNut: Quite competent with throwing knives, although he's capable of [[ImprovisedWeapon using other weapons if he needs to]].

* MoralDissonance: Averted by the end, she becomes completely aware of the terrible things they've done and the lessons they ignored, and it pains her greatly.

* ObliviousToLove: Has about as much romantic awareness as a turnip would. [[spoiler: Though Ivory, named after his master Olivia, has been referred to as the love of his life by him]]. It's likely that he understands or recognizes romance, and just has [[{{Asexuality}} no interest in it.]]

* DeadpanSnarker

* DeadpanSnarker: Has shades of it.

* DeadpanSnarker

* DeadpanSnarker: Perhaps not as much as Kurt or Anji, but nevertheless, he gets in his fair share of sarcastic quips.

* DeadpanSnarker

* BerserkButton: Has a grudge against kidnappers and slavers

* DeadpanSnarker: Slips into this sometimes.

* DeadpanSnarker

* {{Adorkable}}

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Technically, Ben is a princess. She hates the title, though.

* GoOutWithASmile

* TheSpeechless: Has yet to actually speak a line of dialogue in any of her appearances.
** Turns out this is because she doesn't [[NightmareFuel have a mouth.]] Or a head, or a body for that matter.

* TheUnintelligible: Somehow, this does not seem to affect Luca's ability to communicate/understand her. As seen with her encounters with Zi and Tamar, it seems she can speak with other characters through the projection of memories and emotions.
* [[spoiler: WouldHurtAChild]]:[[spoiler: Had no hesitation in restraining Eliyiza while Luca was threatening to chop off her ears.]]

* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: A dark version. Turns out his sword Ba'al was created as a projection of the source of the rage spell. It considered Luca a worthy wielder of it's power... [[spoiler: until he gives in to his [[VillainousBreakdown own anger]]. Upon revealing himself unworthy, Ba'al withdraws it's power and is shattered]]. The lack of a good channelling system then leads directly to Luca's death.

!!Soren Kavros
* ArcVillain: As the current leader of the Anti-Guild Army.
** BaitAndSwitchBoss: While presented as the leader of the anti-guild army, he was quickly replaced with a far more ruthless and powerful LivingShadow of himself.
* BigBadWannabe: Until he was killed and replaced by a shadow doppelganger.
* {{BFS}}: His shadow's main weapon while fighting.
* KickTheDog: His thrashing of Julius and giving Anji a fatal wound [[spoiler: even if the 'fatal' part didn't pan out]]
* KilledOffForReal
* EvilDoppelganger: While Kavros was always an asshole, his "shadow" self is just ruthless.

* KilledOffForReal

!!Julius Valerian
* BeleagueredAssistant: [[spoiler: Lori]] insists he has to be her personal assistant in order to [[spoiler: preserve TheMasquerade that Julius and Anji are dead]].
* CombatPragmatist: Julius is careful about entering confrontations, and always attempts to understand the situation before drawing his swords. But whenever he does, he fights with every bit of his skill at all times.
-->''“Don’t talk in the middle of a fight. It’ll mess up your breathing.”''
* {{Determinator}}
* DualWielding: He acquired a second sword from his EvilCounterpart and now wields it along with his own sword.
* FlamingSword: In the fight against the Minotaur idol.
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]]
* MadeOfIron: His list of injures include broken ribs, concussions, several cuts and bruises and he even got his left arm broken once. [[{{Determinator}} He just keeps fighting]].
* ObfuscatingStupidity: His Fade persona.
* ShoutOut: Both his last name and skills are a reference to [[{{Literature/CodexAlera}} Codex Alera]].
* TheWorfEffect: He and Anji were the first to encounter Kavros's shadow, and were easily beaten.
** Again, this time against Shardreach.

!!Asha, The "Onyx Raven"
* AlasPoorVillain: She had a pretty sucky life, and it didn't end happily.
* BadassLongRobe
* DeathSeeker: Did not ''start out'' this way, but by the end of their story arc it's clear she's gotten in over her head and just wants everything over with.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: The moment where she truly falls out of line with Luca's policies is the moment when [[spoiler: he allows Eliziya to offer Asha control of her body, essentially killing her.]]
* [[spoiler: FaceDeathWithDignity]]: In a stark contrast to Luca. [[spoiler: Asha's death allows her to retain whatever humanity she was left with after years of sacrificing everything for the sake of power.]]
* CoolMask: Her most iconic feature is the large white mask that covers her entire face.
* TheFaceless: She has never been seen without her mask on.
* GoOutWithASmile
* KilledOffForReal
* LadyOfBlackMagic: Has accomplished magical abilities no other character has been capable of, such as making a labyrinth of mirrors, conjuring high-leveled shadow creatures, to [[spoiler: vaporizing a squad of soldiers]], even healing near fatal wounds.
* MoralDissonance: Subverted. [[spoiler: Asha seemed to realize kidnapping was the wrong thing to do, which Luca picked up on and attempted to reassure her that [[IDidWhatIHadToDo they did what they had to.]]]]
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: Saving Tamar's life, and taking care of Zi]]
* TheDragon: To Luca
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Tamar destroying [[spoiler: the personification of her magic]] allows her to finally die, returning control of Eliziya's body to her in the process.
* TheSpeechless: Has yet to actually speak a line of dialogue in any of her appearances.
** Turns out this is because [[spoiler: she doesn't [[NightmareFuel have a mouth.]] Or a head, or a body for that matter.]]
* [[spoiler: SuicideByCop]]: Turns out, this is what she was playing at with Tamar: recognizing his magical ability as innately different to her own, her saving him and following him around was her own twisted way of ''training'' him to the point where he could finally [[DeathSeeker kill her]].
* TheUnintelligible: Somehow, this does not seem to affect Luca's ability to communicate/understand her. As seen with her encounters with Zi and Tamar, it seems she can speak with other characters through the projection of memories and emotions.
* [[spoiler: WouldHurtAChild]]:[[spoiler: Had no hesitation in restraining Eliyiza while Luca was threatening to chop off her ears.]]
* YouCanNotGraspTheTrueForm: Whatever Hector saw when Asha removed her mask gave him quite a shock.
-->'''Hector:''' And Asha, I'm not even sure if she's human anymore.

!!Luca Maeori, "The Crimson Hound."
* BadassLongcoat: Sports a a dark blue one.
* BattleAura: Luca receives a fiery red one while under the magical effects of Ba'al
* BloodKnight
* DeadpanSnarker
-->'''Luca:''' Oh, oh no, you caught me. Saw right through the little ruse. Damn, and here I thought I almost got you...guess you’re smarter than you act.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: Subverted. Found the tactic of Kidnapping Eliziya to be despicable, but went through with it anyway.]]
* EvilRedhead
* FlawExploitation: Used this [[spoiler: when he tossed Hector to the rioters, giving him a knife to defend himself knowing that Hector's code would not allow for him to kill his attackers.]] Even though this almost assured [[spoiler: Hector's]] death, he was visibly upset that he would not break his vow.
* HeroicRROD: A villainous inversion, after Luca [[spoiler: finds the source of the rage spell.]]
* ICallItVera: [[spoiler: Luca names the sword he forged from the Minotaur's horn Ba'al,]] following the same ritual Hector does.
** [[spoiler: TranquilFury]]: [[spoiler: can activate this on command thanks to the magic within Ba'al, and also because he's trained his willpower to avoid the negative effects of the rage spell.]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: Kidnapping Eliyza and throwing Hector to his death, obviously]] but also [[spoiler: Mortally wounding Legias in battle]]
* KilledOffForReal
* MagicKnight: Accomplishes this by using magical talismans that give temporary knowledge of casting spells from the ether.
* [[CityGuards City Guard:]] Holds an officer position in the City Guard, and was even one of the original people to encourage Legias to start the city guard. However, as with his unfettered tendency, this was mostly to advance towards his own goals. [[spoiler: Until he finally unfolded with his plan to start a civil war in the middle of the city, and abdicated his position]]
* TheBerserker: Has essentially become this by weaponizing the TranquilFury of Ba'al.
* TheManBehindTheMan: To Soren's ArcVillain status.
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: A dark version. Turns out his sword Ba'al was created as a projection of the source of the rage spell. It considered Luca a worthy wielder of it's power... [[spoiler: until he gives in to his [[VillainousBreakdown own anger]]. Upon revealing himself unworthy, Ba'al withdraws it's power and is shattered]]. The lack of a good channelling system then leads directly to Luca's death.
* TheUnfettered
* [[spoiler: WouldHurtAChild]]:[[spoiler: His threat to Anji upon kidnapping Eliziya, should she have failed to follow his request. Whether he would have actually carried it out, however, may be up to debate.]]

* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: A dark version. Turns out his sword Ba'al was created as a projection of the source of the rage spell. It considered Luca a worthy wielder of it's power... [[spoiler: until he gives in to his own anger. Upon revealing himself unworthy, Ba'al withdraws it's power and is shattered]]. The lack of a good channelling system then leads directly to Luca's death.

* TheWorfEffect: He and Anji were the first to encounter Kavros's shadow, and were easily beaten

* BloodKnight:

* ObliviousToLove: Has about as much romantic awareness as a turnip would. [[spoiler: Though Ivory, named after his master Olivia, has been referred to as the love of his life by him]]. It's likely that he understands or recognizes romance, and just has [[{{Asexuality}} no interest in it.]]
* StillWearingTheOldColors: Even though he's been kicked out, Hector still wears Severed Claws colors.

* TechnicalPacifist: While he loves to fight and battle ever challenging foes, he seems completely unwilling to take the life of any human opponent he faces.

* {{Determinator}}:

* ShoutOut: [[DoctorWho LOOK AT ME I'M A TARGET]]

* AwesomeYetPractical: Uses her powerful electro-kinetic abilities to... create a giant magnet.
