History Characters / YuGiOhDuelAcademySaga

%%* BloodBrothers: with Jerry.

%%* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs

A spirit that made a deal with Johnny's subconsious in order to un-seal itself. Has been described as Eraser UpToEleven but without the success.

%%* NiceHat

%%* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Played totally straight.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Pink. Rai dyed it.

%%* {{Bishounen}}

* {{Bishonen}}: Despite his more animalistic features, Jerry is tall, trim, and fair-skinned, would be able to pass for a typical pretty-boy if he could bother to act like a civilized person.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Well, navy, but close enough.

* ThemeDeck: Plays with Thunder cards that can swarm the field fast and make some explosive Xyz and Synchro plays, especially given that he is a user of Rank-Up Magic and the ATK-boosting Vylon Prism as his Tuner monster of choice, but there isn't a single card in his first two deck lineups that he can really use to ''defend'' in any way that goes beyond "put shit-tons of attack points on the field".

* ThemeDeck: The Noble Knights. Given his personality, these cards fit in with his style of play.

* ThemeDeck: Mecha Phantom Beasts, which are aeroplanes with animals' qualities.

* ThemeDeck: Gladiator Beasts - anthropomorphic animals themed after various gladiator fighting styles.

* ThemeDeck: Blackwings. An archetype of human-like crows centered around swarming and Synchro Summoning.

* ThemeDeck: he runs a Warriors deck.

* ThemeDeck: Jerry runs dinosaurs, especially the Jurrac archetype.

* {{Tsundere}}: Shifts from 'haughty-and-arrogant-tsun' to 'friendly-and-regretful-dere' as time passes. A more subdued version of this trope than in [[Manga/LoveHina other]] [[Manga/MahouSenseiNegima cases]].

* BiTheWay: Pretty much. However, this isn't mentioned until the second RP, when thinking about Rai. In the first, his crush on Blair was obvious.

%%* WhiteAndGrayMorality: Scott's world view.

This is the character sheet for the Franchise/YuGiOh Duel Academy Saga play-by-post RPG.

[[folder: Multiple Years]]
!! Cyrus Alucard Cain
!!!Cyrus the Eyeless
[--Roleplayed/NPC'd by {{Tropers/SarcasticallyInsane}}--]

Cyrus started as a 4th-year Obelisk Blue who owned a large part of the island and was determined to make his last year memorable, starting it off by [[CrazyAwesome skydiving down onto the boat]]. Y'know, the kid that's ''blind!''

In the second RP, he's now the headmaster, and much more sober.

%%* DespairEventHorizon: Took a running leap off the dang thing after [[spoiler:River's death]].

%%* {{Fiction500}}: [[spoiler:Until he's disowned, at which point he has to rely on the island's resources and treaties.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The end of the first RP, where he [[spoiler: expels Angie for her extracurricular activities, then promptly offers her a position as Barnaby's TA.]]

!! River Finn
!!!Cyborg Boy
[--Roleplayed by {{Tropers/SarcasticallyInsane}}--]

* BrilliantButLazy: The reason he's still in Ra... and the reason his arm works the way it does.

!! Scott Harold
!!! Sleeping in class again, Scott?

[--Roleplayed by {{Tropers/Kuiper}}--]

* BerserkButton : It's quitting or giving up, in case you haven't noticed. Two people have prompted it to be pushed; once, he threatened Professor Loatheless for even ''considering'' giving up(along with River), and more recently, Jerry actually accused him of not fighting back when things get rough. It prompted him to accept the shadow game.
* {{Determinator}}: In the first RP, by sheer determination, he broke a curse Skye was transferring over to him, ''after having sustained massive damage from SWORD.''

* RedOniBlueOni: To Jerry's red oni. He has tendencies to distract himself from his emotions, is rather calm, and tends to go with the flow.

%%* WhiteAndGrayMorality: Scott's world view.

!!!Till death do us part
[--Roleplayed/NPC'd by {{Tropers/SarcasticallyInsane}}--]

* ShoutOut: Their name, to Manga/DeathNote. And Giery [[HurricaneOfPuns refuses to let either of them forget it]].

!!! Class is in session!

[[/folder]]

%%!!!Shining Through the Darkness

%%[[/folder]]

!!!The Straightforward Dueling Girl

[--Roleplayed by: Tropers/IniquitusTheThird--]

------

* CantCatchUp: Discussed.

* DarkMagicalGirl: And now she's even getting the powers! [[spoiler:[[BodySurf With a little outside help]], of course...]]

-->'''Tsuki:''' "I can take you two guys any which way you want!"
-->'''Michael:''' "[[LampshadeHanging Um, Tsuki? You may wanna rephrase that...]]"
%%* IdiotBall
%%* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler:And she reappears, surprisingly. Then she gets killed.]]

* TheVoiceless: [[spoiler:Loses her speech functions as a cost for accepting Raviel's patronage.]]

* UnwantedHarem: More so than any other character, at least. Jerry and Johnny have acknowledged some form of attraction to her (though it may be more along the lines of respect for Jerry), and Michael -- as per his [[TheCasanova usual attitude]] -- was definitely flirting slightly with her near the start. And we haven't even gotten started on the whole deal with [[TheHeart Anna]]...

!!! {{Bookworm}} Warrior Duelist

%%* CoolSword: has a few on the walls of his room.
%%*KatanasAreJustBetter: and one of those, too.

* MeaningfulName: subverted. Ryu means 'Dragon' in Japanese, but Ryu doesn't use any dragons. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Jerry:
--> '''Jerry:''' "Ryu... That means 'dragon', doesn't it? There's an irony there. You don't have dragons, but Scott does. And "Scott" means "guy from Scottland", and then since you're not using Celtic Guardian, the whole thing kinda breaks down and we should probably forget I mentioned it. I can't blame you for not having a Scottish guy in your deck on the off-chance you were ever in the same place as a guy named Scott who had dragons in his."

%%* TheQuietOne

-->'''Ryu:''' "Let's enjoy Jerry ripping Scott apart, shall we?"
-->'''Tsuki:''' "Yes, let's-" -narrows eyes- "What's that supposed to mean?"
-->'''Ryu:''' "Oops."

[--Roleplayed by: Tropers/{{desdendelle}}--]

!!! The self-proclaimed greatest duelist on the island

[--Roleplayed by: Tropers/{{tachikaze}}--]
------

%%* DarkIsNotEvil: His deck is full of DARK attribute fiend monsters but he tends to be a fairly nice guy.

!!!The Brutal Blue

[--Roleplayed by: Tropers/{{EviIPaladin}}--]
------

!!! Jerk With A Heart Of Crazy

%%* AxCrazy
* StupidEvil: So you're hanging by your neck after you attacked a teacher that revealed s/he could easily kill you, and what do you do? Giery thinks that the answer is to ''yell at him/her to do his/her worst.'' PlotArmor as a PC was all that protected him from a quick NeckSnap.

!!!The Wild Man of Slifer Red

[--Roleplayed by: Tropers/{{Scrounge}}--]
------

* {{Bishonen}}: despite his more animalistic features, Jerry is tall, trim, and fair-skinned, would be able to pass for a typical pretty-boy if he could bother to act like a civilized person.
* BondCreature: Jurrac Titano. Of all the duelists on the island, Jerry may be the most connected to his Duel Spirit... For good or for ill.

* {{Determinator}}: He and Scott have this in common... Jerry has gone up a mountain on a motorcycle after receiving a chest wound. ''Before'' getting any medical attention. [[spoiler: This bites him in the ass later on, as he nearly kills himself dueling Scott after those same wounds reopen, and refuses to concede until Titano convinces him to, even though he can't stand by that point.]]
* FriendlessBackground: Jerry was ostracized by his small-town peers as a freak.

%%* TheRival: To Scott.

!!!The Reckless Inferno of Red
[--NPC'd by: Tropers/SarcasticallyInsane--]

Johnny is a 2nd-year and NPC. First appearing in the Red's Girls' Dorm (helping girls unpack, of course), Johnny is something of a gentleman to teachers and girls. He's also very well-connected on the island, as far as owed favors and such, and part of a group of Slifer Reds that help each other advance by pooling their resources before each exam. According to him (and shown by his duel with Sean), he is a very good Duelist, but his deck cannot stand up to the requirments that exam duels force upon him, and nobody will duel him anymore because he defeats them; no duels, no DP, no new cards, and he can't fix his deck for exams. His deck is a FIRE-themed deck with many Trap Monsters, and he hails from Detroit- in this universe, an arsonist-filled hellhole.

-------

* DefeatMeansFriendship: After his hamtastic duel with Sean, he hands him an apparently powerful card. While this seems... rather crazy under the circumstances, [[JustifiedTrope said card seemed to have a Duel Spirit within that was affecting Johnny and he wanted to dump it quickly.]]

!!!The Golden-Hearted Girl [-With A Mafia Connection-]

[--(Formerly) Roleplayed by {{Tropers/darksidevoid}}. Currently automated by Tropers/SarcasticallyInsane--]

%%* SheCleansUpNicely: ...So where did you get the evening gown from, again?

Cyrus started as a 4th-year Obelisk Blue who owned a large part of the island and was determined to make his last year memorable, starting it off by [[CrazyAwesome skydiving down onto the boat]]. Yes, he's blind.

In the second RP, he has become the headmaster, and much more sober.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: One of the worse ones.

* DespairEventHorizon: Took a running leap off the dang thing after [[spoiler:River's death]].
* EyeScream: [[NauseaFuel Oh yes.]]
* {{Fiction500}}: [[spoiler:Until he's disowned, at which point he has to rely on the island's resources and treaties.]]

* ArtificialLimbs: His arm.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: By far the worst.
* {{Hammerspace}}: His arm.

* BerserkButton : It's quitting or giving up, in case you haven't noticed.
** Two people have prompted it to be pushed; once, he threatened Professor Loatheless for even ''considering'' giving up(along with River), and more recently, Jerry actually accused him of not fighting back when things get rough. It prompted him to accept the shadow game.

* InformedAbility: An odd case. In the first RP, Scott was reasonably good, though lost a plot-important duel. In the second, he's lost both his duels so far.
* OnlySaneMan: Feels like it sometimes. [[DysfunctionJunction He may be right, too...]]

* SleepyHead: Scott's personal problem.
* TalkingInYourDreams: To his duel spirit, Stardust Dragon.
* TalkingInYourSleep: Done a few times, usually to the confusion of whoever's [[strike: carrying him]] around him at the time.
* TheNapoleon: Averted. Scott's shorter than most, if not all, the main cast, but he's perhaps the gentlest.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Played totally straight.
* WhiteAndGrayMorality: Scott's world view.

* AxCrazy: Kira.

* ShoutOut: Their name, to Manga/DeathNote.
** And Giery [[HurricaneOfPuns refuses to let either]] [[NeverLiveItDown of them forget it]].
* SplitPersonality
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Pink. Rai dyed it. After the party in DA3, it's been dyed brown streaked with silver.

* ActionSurvivor
* BadassBookworm: Typically averted. Although it's been implied that he can handle himself in combat, most of his (rare) attempts at heroism have ended badly. At the end of ''[=DA2=]'', though, he breaks out of the Shadow Realm with a new Duel Spirit, and it's mentioned that the ''weaker'' monsters he faced were the likes of Gorz and The Fabled Leviathan.

!!Angela Loatheless, nee Rath
!!!Shining Through the Darkness

Angela was a student in the first RP, where she endured every trauma possible, and then some. She became romantically involved with Barnaby, and was his TA throughout Second Year while helping with the Slifer girls. In DA3, she has become a professor and therapist for the school.

[[/folder]]

* AerithAndBob
* AllThereInTheManual: Check the signup thread for details.
* Angrish: [[spoiler:Quite apart from the whole 'losing the ability to speak' deal, her sanity rapidly erodes after seeing a (fake) Anna decapitated.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Tsuki: ''Kill you... End you...'''']]
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: What she wouldn't give to be this...
** Although Angela seems to believe she's got the makings.
* BadassNormal: [[spoiler:Of a sort. Her efforts did lead to Anna surviving against Raviel and being the only one of the five where the good guys made a net gain in situation (Tsuki for Raviel), though she did have to give her life to achieve that.]]
* BreakTheHaughty
* Bifauxnen: Enough to be mistaken for a guy at least twice when dressing up for a dinner date with Anna. [[note]]No, not [[LesYay that kind]] of dinner date.[[/note]]

* DarkAndTroubledPast: One of the few people in the ''Franchise/YuGiOh''-[[TheVerse verse]] to avert this.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Just like every other character who isn't ab/using a Light deck, this applies.
** [[spoiler:Except her new trump card just gave her hallucinations and manipulated her into nearly killing her best friend. Surprise!]]

* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Averted. She gets stabbed in the upper torso by a massive sword and graphically bleeds out on-page.]]
* {{Expy}}: [[Manga/MahouSenseiNegima Of Setsuna, but only in appearance.]]
* HeroicBSOD: She did ''not'' take being busted down to Red in her stride.
** And happens again, in a mixture of despair and self-hatred, when she runs from the scythe-wielding crocodilian Tyrant Neptune, then beats herself up for doing the sane thing and trying to get to safety without trying to evacuate the entire building.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Although one might argue that Raviel did force it to some extent.]]
* [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoisted By Her Own Petard]]: [[spoiler:Tried to defeat Raviel by baiting him into destroying a monster, then using Nordic Relic Laevateinn. It... [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice didn't work]].]]
* IJustWantToBeSpecial
%%* [[spoiler:ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice]]

* IdiotBall
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler:And she reappears, surprisingly. Then she gets killed.]]

* NauseaFuel: In-universe, the nastier Duel Spirits being near her.
* PrecisionFStrike
* ProperlyParanoid: Temporarily, during the Battle Royale duel.

* UnwantedHarem: More so than any other character, at least.
** Jerry and Johnny have acknowledged some form of attraction to her (though it may be more along the lines of respect for Jerry), and Michael -- as per his [[TheCasanova usual attitude]] -- was definitely flirting slightly with her near the start. And we haven't even gotten started on the [[LesYay whole deal]] with [[TheHeart A]][[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight n]][[TakingTheBullet n]][[LivingEmotionalCrutch a]]...
* VomitIndiscretionShot: In her defense, Sean's player actually asked for it to be changed so he gets hit.

A Ra Yellow Duellist from a distant foreign land. His duel spirit is Gearfried the Iron Knight. He is short and thin. His hair is brown, and he wears rectangular spectacles. His dueling disk is remarkably similar to Gearfried's sword. Currently a professor at East Academy.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: his duel disk.
* AerithAndBob
* BloodBrothers: with Jerry.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: hinted at.
* {{Bookworm}}
* [[CallingYourAttacks Calling Your Monsters' Attacks]]
* CoolSword: has a few on the walls of his room.
** KatanasAreJustBetter: and one of those, too.
* LargeHam: If he thinks his winning.

* ShoutOut: [[WordOfGod his last name]], to the ''VideoGame/BattleForWesnoth'' add-on Era of Magic.
* TheQuietOne

* {{Bishounen}}
* BrilliantButLazy
* DarkIsNotEvil: His deck is full of DARK attribute fiend monsters but he tends to be a fairly nice guy.
* HandsomeLech
** InformedAbility
* LargeHam: He has his moments.

* HearingVoices: Insanity Berry for Sean.
* {{Jerkass}}: Read anything this guy says. Seriously.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Seemed to be dangerously close to this when doing some bonding time with the others but quickly reverted back to JerkAss mode.

** InformedAbility: His [[JerkAss jerkassness]] prevents any female character from wanting anything to do with him.
* LargeHam: He seems to transmute all of his jerkass-ness into pure ham the moment he puts on a Duel Disk.
** Special mention goes to his hilariously dramatic activation of Final Countdown and his MotiveRant followup against Johnny:
-->'''Sean:''' "Fear? HA! I laugh at fear! You shall not scare me with fire and brimstone! You who is scared of fire shall learn of a new fear: the fear of the cleansing light! It shall burn you without fire! It shall scar you without marks! It shall kill you without laying a finger on you! Watch as it ends your sight! Listen as it ends your hearing! Cry as it ends your voice! There shall be no escape from the light! The light I, Sean Abeu, shall channel into my victory! DRAW!"
* LightIsNotGood: Runs a LIGHT Fairy deck and is probably the most arrogant and rude character, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16q5ll9h8704mxlofrszeccy&page=4 causing most of the RPers to suffer an urge to sock him in the face, if not kill him in his sleep.]]

* SophisticatedAsHell: Occassionally slips up from his SesquipedalianLoquaciousness.

* AGodAmI: Declared he would be worshipped as a god after he [[spoiler:[[MoralEventHorizon stole Dead!River's cards.]]]]
** He did it again in [[spoiler:his Shadow Duel with Johnny.]]
* AxCrazy
* DeaderThanDead: [[spoiler:Incinerated by Uria in the Shadow Realm version of the Arctic Circle.]]

* HypoCrite: After he [[spoiler:looked through Dead!River's deck]], he declared that LIGHT monsters were wimpy. Giery (at the time) was using what amounted to a LIGHT Fairy deck.
* JerkAss: Definitely.

* AntiHero: Definitely not as nice as Scott
* BeastMan: With his reptillian eyes, sharp teeth, and animalistic behavior, Jerry can be seen as this.

* CallingYourAttacks: Well, those of his monsters. He's yet to get into a fistfight.
* CelibateHero: Deconstructed, he's obviously got feelings that he's trying to repress.

* FieryRedhead
* {{Foil}}: To Scott
* HotBlooded
* InformedLoner

* KickTheDog: Can be pretty verbally abusive towards Scott at times.

* LonersAreFreaks: Literally, in this case.
* NiceHat

* RedOniBlueOni: ''Very'' red, with his rival serving as the Blue Oni.
* ShipTease: Despite his insistence that he's not interested in anyone in that way.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Jerry can be surprisingly cunning.
* ThatCameOutWrong: Jerry has a problem with AccidentalInnuendo.

* TheRival: To Scott.
* WorthyOpponent: Sees Scott (and a few others) as this.
** ...But is starting grow disillusioned with Scott due to their differing worldviews.

[[spoiler:Currently blinded by Uria and in the Arctic Circle with Giery.]]

* AcheyScars: Possibly his back, according to an exchange with Uria.

* DisabilitySuperpower]]: [[spoiler:Averted. [[spoiler:While blind, he can barely stand up, let alone walk. Relying on sound disorients him, too.]]
* LargeHam: See his duel with Sean. It is quite magnificent.
* MysteriousEmployer: Possibly works for one.

** [[spoiler:In fact, it's implied that the kiss is what Uria gave him in exchange for being released, meaning it was so important to him he was subconsciously willing to summon a Sacred Beast for it!]]

* :BreakTheCutie: [[spoilerYour best friend getting impaled in front of you and your indecision costing her the possibility of surviving would do that to you.]]
%%* [[spoiler:DesignatedGirlFight]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings
* SheCleansUpNicely: ...So where did you get the evening gown from, again?
* TheHeart

* HandsomeLech: Not that his success rate is very high.

!!Fae Jokai
A short-term character who disappeared when her player had real-life commitments early on. Used Ghostrick cards.
!!Gal Greenberg

* AttackAttackAttack: One of the noted flaws with his Dueling is that he can be overly-agressive and play cards with extra offensive power rather than ones that would do what he needs and could protect itself/his LP from other threats.
** In fact, it's noted that if he had thought through his final turns against Jaden, he would have ''won.''

* KnownOnlyByTheirNickname[=/=]DoNotCallMePaul: Doesn't like being referred to as "James" either.

* AnimalMotifs: The Lion.

* GuiltComplex:
* HandsomeLech: What? Just because he's heroic doesn't mean he can't be a perv?
* NeutralGood: Of the Type 2 kind.

* TheFettered: His whole system of beliefs.

[--Roleplayed by {{Tropers/kingofgames010}}.--]

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Averted. It's made abundantly clear that she is of Arab descent.
* AnimalMotifs: The Heron.

* [[CallingYourAttacks Calling Your Monsters' Attacks/Calling Your Monsters' Summons]]: So far we have Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack's Drago Strike, Mecha Phantom Beast Blackfalcon's Blackbird Bombing, Mecha Phantom Beast's Megaraptor's Raptor Dive, Mecha Phantom Beast Harrliard's Foxfire Missiles, Mecha Phantom Beast Tetherwolf's Tether Grab, Lightning Chidori's Thousand Bird Thunder and [[spoiler:Thor, Lord of the Aesir's Thunder Hammer Strike. We also have a chant for Thor]].

* MeaningfulName: {{Subverted|Trope}}. 'Kizuna' means 'bonds' in Japanese, but it does not represent anything. Inches into AsLongAsItSoundsForeign territory from a Doylist perspective.

[--Roleplayed by {{Tropers/desdendelle}}.--]
!!Lily Flannigan
!!"Marvelous Marvin" (Renny Everson)

!!Savio Drusus
!!!The Bright-Hearted Fighter
A surprisingly normal student at [[WackyCollege Duel Academy]], who approaches both life and dueling with a smile and a promise to not give up.

* [[CallingYourAttacks Calling Your Monsters' Summons]]: He has summon chants for each of his four Fusion monsters, each ending in "[NAME], Fusion Summoned!".
* SpiritedCompetitor: He is constantly looking for a challenge.
* TheDeterminator: Card games are SeriousBusiness to him. If he duels, he will not hold back.
* ThePollyanna: Has a near-permanent sunny disposition. Subverted in that he isn't naive about it.
* ThemeDeck: Gladiator Beasts - anthropomorphic animals themed after various gladiator fighting styles.
[--Roleplayed by {{Tropers/krika}}.--]
!!Timmy Johnson (Agent Celine Brock)
* CPRCleanPrettyReliable: Administers some to Kizuna.
* LesYay: Yeah, Celine, give Kizzy CPR even though you know she doesn't need it...

!!Wille Steele
!!Yuka Hanabira

* {{Curse}}: He likes to threaten to deal these out.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Considering his cousin is this, it's not surprising.
%%* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn]]
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: [[spoiler:Averted. He hits Anna, and it's implied that if Parshath hadn't intervened, it would have killed her.]]
* InformedAbility: Milton has been mentioned as a pro duelist for quite some time. We've never seen his deck, or what it includes. Could just be because it hasn't come up, though.
** [[spoiler:Judging from his Duel Spirit, he probably runs a Malefic deck... like the one he keeps saying is illegal in tournaments.]]

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of insanity.

* EldritchAbomination: Though not an antagonistic one.

!!The Wicked Eraser

Usually shortened to 'Eraser', 'dick', or unintelligible whimpers, Eraser resembles a corrupted Slifer- mainly because he is. Currently sealed deep underground, far away enough from other people to prevent a sudden plot derailment.

------

* EldritchAbomination
* KnightOfCerebus
* LovesTheSoundOfScreaming
* MindRape

!!The Wicked Deadroot

Usually shortened to "Deadroot", [[SpellMyNameWithAnS "Dreadroot"]], or "Bob", Deadroot is a corrupted version of Obelisk.

------

* GrandTheftMe: The second possible explanation of his effect on Sean.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: With extra holding-your-head-under-the-water for bonus value!
* ShockAndAwe: It's all in the name.

* YouFool: To the level of bordering on...
** VerbalTic

%%* [[spoiler:TheMole]]

!!The Tyrant Neptune

!!The Splendid Venus

!!Gearfried the Iron Knight

* HonorBeforeReason

!!Jurrac Titano

Jerry's Duel Spirit, the two have been inseparable since they met.

* BoisterousBruiser
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs
* LargeHam - One of the many traits Titano shares with Jerry, though he's the less hammy of the two.


!!Dark Red Enchanter

Tsuki's ex-Duel Spirit. Apparently, he only recently became aware that Tsuki could hear him, and vice versa. Has since been ditched after Tsuki switches up her deck.

----

* DarkIsNotEvil: Quite a nice guy, by all accounts.
* PutOnABus: Apparently, Micheal has him now. Hasn't helped his appearance rate at all, though.
** [[spoiler:And now he sacrificed himself to save the students in the crash.]]

* MeaningfulName: It doesn't come up much, but Barnaby's middle name is Roy, after Roy Khan from {{Kamelot}}.

* CardCarryingVillain: Very proud of his villainous nature. Word of Nick is that his childhood role model is [[WheelOfTime Ishamael / Moridin.]]

* ShoutOut: [[WordOfGod his last name]], to the BattleForWesnoth add-on Era of Magic.

* GenreSavvy: He's been around a while, and realized that [[ThePowerOfLove love]] is a powerful force, and tried to comprehend it. [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove He failed]] and resorted to his favorite pastime; blowing stuff up.
** Which leads him right into GenreBlind.

* {{Tsundere}}: Shifts from 'haughty-and-arrogant-tsun' to 'friendly-and-regretful-dere' as time passes. A more subdued version of this trope than in [[LoveHina other]] [[Manga/MahouSenseiNegima cases]].

* RealDreamsAreWeirder: Averted, or at least implied to be. Occording to him, his dreams are quite weird. He just points it out more often 'cause he's asleep more often.

* AccidentalInnuendo:
-->'''Ryu:''' "Let's enjoy Jerry ripping Scott apart, shall we?"
-->'''Tsuki:''' "Yes, let's-" -narrows eyes- "What's that supposed to mean?"
-->'''Ryu:''' "Oops."

* EmbarassingMiddleName: He really doesn't like that his parents decided his middle name would be "Montgomery".
* KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: Doesn't like being referred to as "James" either.

* ThemeDeck: Plays with "Hunder" cards that can swarm the field fast and make some explosive Xyz and Synchro plays, especially given that he is a user of Rank-Up Magic and the ATK-boosting Vylon Prism as his Tuner monster of choice, but there isn't a single card in his first two deck lineups that he can really use to ''defend'' for any significant amount of time.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: In a recent three on three duel, he proved he can definitely hold his own, defeating Richard and George, and even beating Micah - sort of.
