Deus Vult player characters

The team as a whole

Members: Ardus "Seth" Witfield, "the Crow", Jethro "Jet" Pierce, Raksha Matlock, Wei-Wei of Kel-Tagelms.

Alignment: Chaotic Unclear

Deus Vult stars of as a band of mercaneries of gathered by an eccentric billionaire called Eldes. It wages war against the villainous terrorists of the Cipher, vicious raiders and other outlaws of the Orre region.

• Badass Bookworm: Raksha.
• Badass Driver: Crow.
• Badass in a Nice Suit: Every member of the team will wear archaic suits at some point.
• Badass Native: Wei-Wei
• Hired Guns: What they all, in the end, are.
• Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Like you wouldn't believe. The team consists of disgraced aristocrat, a professional criminal, a tribal shaman, a street fighter and a normal person, who's there to keep those weirdos in check. By themselves, those guys would probably be pretty dangerous to society.
• Villain with Good Publicity / Hidden Agenda Villain: Eldes, possibly. Both Seth and Jet believe that his agenda is too selfless and noble to be true, his organization is somewhat shady and Crow being Enigmatic Minion doesn't help.
• Violation of Common Sense: Crow is not trusted by anyone in the organization. Naturally, they elect her as a leader.

Daisy "The Crow" Duvall

Player: Chaos

Primary team: Zexy the combusken, Dirty Harry the mightyena, M4 the marill.

"I'm just a courier."

A 25 year old female trainer with unknown birth place and real name, she is the leader and de-facto founder of the group. Her past as a professional criminal is revealed via in-game flashbacks.

• Abusive Parents: Her father is very much of a Jerkass.
• Action Survivor: She doesn't have that many victories behind her, but she survived through ridiculous situations including a terrorist attack.
• Ambiguous Disorder: Suffers from what looks like manic depression. Also claims to be paranoid.
• The Atoner: While she never goes into specifics, apparently she did something absolutely terrible - enough for her to run to another country.
• The Alcoholic: And also used to be a heavy smoker. Alcohol is her default method of dealing with stress. Naturally, her psychiatrist does not approve.
• Black and Nerdy: The Crow doesn't always behave in the most sensible manner, but she is very educated, knowing several languages and able to quote (and make up) latin proverbs and poetry.
• The Chosen One: ...oh.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Of course.
• Damsel in Distress: She even lampshades how she keeps getting captured.
  • Damsel out of Distress: Absolutely determined to do this one day. So far, she had one... Sort of success and two pathetic failures.
• Deadpan Snarker: Her way of coping with stress. That is, other then Cluster F-Bomb
• Dented Iron: Her body is covered in scars and burns, while some of her bones have been broken multiple times. She used to pull of Le Parkour with ease, now it's much harder for her.
• Determinator: When her strength is gone, there is still hope. When her hope is gone... She won't give up anyway.
• Ditzy Genius: Despite her intelligence, the Crow doesn't exactly possess a lot of common sense, she is easily sidetracked by (metaphorical) shiny objects and has a... a few quirks.
• Embarrassing First Name
• Enigmatic Minion: To Eldes. Or, at least, she seems that way, with her numerous fake names, her unclear role in his organization and being sent obviously to keep an eye on them. Nobody in Deus Vult trusts her, which is why they decided to vote her in as the leader of the group. What.
• Everyone Calls Her the Crow: Because she won't tell you her real name. Seth knows what he thinks is her real name - and insists on calling her that - but unknown to him, it's a pseuodonym too.
• Failure Hero: The Crow can't win. Ever. She's not allowed to. But she can endure.
• The Hero: Performs this role in Deus Vult.
• I Have Many Names: The Crow, the Moth, Daisy Duvall, John Galt. She holds several fake documents and her real name is a complete mystery.
• Master of Unlocking: Because of her experience as a thief, she is very able at using lockpicks. Apparently, Snagem Gang is aware of that, so they threw her in a cell that has electronic lock on the door.
• Mood-Swinger: Her mood changes very fast and often to the extremes. Alcohol mellows her out, somewhat. And so do donuts.
• Primal Fear: Fire.
• Private Detective: Though she openly admits that her track record is somewhat poor.
• Properly Paranoid: The Crow expects danger from everywhere and there's no place she feels safe in. However, whenever she feels that her life is in danger, she's usually right.
• Reformed Criminal: Judging by her flashbacks, she used to be at least a thief - and a member of a criminal family.
• Running Gag: Praise the Helix fossil!
• Samus Is a Girl: Assumes a pseudonym of John Galt at one point. It works wonders, because nobody expects a woman to hide behind this name.
• Sassy Black Woman: Yes.
• Token Minority: The only person of colour on the forum (except for Wei-Wei, who's native american).

Ardus "Seth" Witfield

Player: Sheevhar

Primary team: Conrad the charmeleon, Fonz the nidoran(M), Victor the magnemite.

"I would teach you manners, but I'm afraid, it's already too late for you."

An aristocrat in his twenties, who fled from his home after a disagreement with his family over his future. Now he roams the world trying to discover his destiny - with varying results.

• Aristocrats Are Evil: Downplayed. Not evil - just a Jerkass.
• Arrogant Trainer Guy: His arrogance is truly staggering, and he is dead sure in his superiority as a trainer over his peers.
• Cain and Abel: His relationship with his brother are less then healthy.
• Establishing Character Moment: Walks around a pokemon laboratory like he owns a place and insults a girl he just met for petty reason.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite being an utter jerk to almost everyone he meets, Ardus has a strong sense of right and wrong, doesn't use shadow pokemon to further his agenda and instead gives them to the fund that will help them recover and doesn't kill a man with ties to a terrorist organization, despite great temptation to do so, instead handing him over to police.
• The Lancer: Performs this role in Deus Vult.
• Lean and Mean: He's certainly not the nicest guy around, and his figure is rather slender.
• Paranoia Fuel: Ardus is paranoid and prone to snap judgements, suspecting a kind old lady giving him shelter in trying to poison him - and the moment he sees an automobile graveyard, he immediately suspects that bandits live there and organize gladiator battles.
• Properly Paranoid: While he is often wrong about exact details, the nature of the region he's adventuring in means that he will be usually right about mistrusting someone or something.
• Private Detective: And a rather good one.
• Playing with Fire: His starter and most powerful pokemon is a fire type.
• Pyromaniac: His love of fire has heavy shades of this and is sometimes unnerving for the bystanders.
• Self-Made Orphan: Ooops.

Raksha Matlock

Player: Raksha

Primary team: Lance the ivysaur, Key the raticate.

"I've taken a look at the teleporter's blueprints. I didn't figure out everything, but got the general idea."

The sanest member of Deus Vult, Raksha Matlock is a relatively normal human being, who became a trainer after being inspired by a passerby murkrow. She is a free spirit, who can't be bound to one place.

• Awesomeness by Analysis: Becoming a detective was pretty much her destiny - everything she encounters causes her to question and analyze with almost mechanical approach.
• Badass Bookworm: Don't think she's a wimp just because she's The Smart Guy. She's just as capable of kicking ass.
• Disappeared Dad: Her father was frequently absent from her life, given his profession as a sailor.
• Jumped at the Call: Notably, she is the only trainer in Deus Vult that became one out of her own desire. Ardus and Jethro picked up pokemon to defend themselves, Crow and Wei-Wei had fate handle them their companions, but Raksha just went to the lab and got her starer because she wanted to adventure.
• No Social Skills: Despite her intelligence and education, she has a whooping 1 in her charisma stat.
• The Smart Guy: Performs this role in Deus Vult by virtue of being not insane.
• Nice to the Waiter: She is probably the nicest member of the agency, especially to those beneath her.
• The Quiet One: Of all Deus Vult members, she speaks least often and is more prone to quiet observation and inner monologues.
• Wrench Wench: Was an aspiring mechanic before becoming a poketrainer. She is... rather good at it.

Wei-Wei

Player: Wei-Wei

• Androcles' Lion: Got Manco in her team this way.

• The Chief's Daughter: Shaman's daughter, which is almost the same thing.
• Dramatic Wind: Never ceases to follow her.
• Deadpan Snarker: It's nearly impossible to tell if she's joking or not.
• Facial Markings: Sometimes wears face paint emulating a dog's grin.
• Friend to All Living Things: Can tame pokemon without using pokeballs.
• Magical Native American: Literally.
• Murder Is the Best Solution: Has no qualms about death, though she never killed anyone with her own hands yet.
• Token Evil Teammate: She is possibly the most evil member of agency and the one with highest (on screen) body count. She can be, however, fairly reasonable and pragmatic.
• Troubled Sympathetic Bigot: She really dislikes white people and having to deal with them. Her prejudice, however, is completly understandable, given how Orre belonged to the native tribes before the colonists rolled in and started taking everything away.

• Deadpan Snarker: Emphasis on "deadpan" part. When offended, her passive-agressive sarcasm is simply vicious.

• No Social Skills: Bluntly asks a guy she just met if he has somebody close and if he would like to travel with her, making him uncomfortable in a moment. That might or might not have been intentional.
