Al
A Bilingual Bisexual Mexican Cartoonist Cook, and fellow Troper.
- Arch-Enemy: Cars.
- Anime Hair: Living proof of why this trope doesn't work as well in Real Life...
- Bad Ass: Not in the conventional way, though. He has a saintly patience and withstands every single antic the group goes through without going berserk.
- He plays Super Ghouls N Ghosts USING THE AXE.
- Button Mashing: Is this with almost any Fighting Game.
- Catchprase: Has a fondness of saying "gawd dammit!!" and "oh gog...". One of his favorite lines to shout is "DIE, INFIDEL".
- Chef of Iron: Set on his way to become this. See What Could Have Been.
- Eloquent in My Native Tongue: Oh so much...
- Fan Boy: Is this towards Earth Bound and Ghosts n' Goblins, mostly.
- And then he was introduced to Persona 3... He hasn't been the same ever since...
- Fan Discontinuity: Ain't it sad they never made a Spyro game after Spyro Year Of The Dragon...?
- Go Nagai Sideburns: They come and go...
- Guilty Pleasure: A fan of YouTube Poop, sadly. Also, certain series that is best to pretend doesn't exist around here.
- Including Wedding Peach would imply he actually feels guilty about it in the first place.
- I Call It "Vera": He names lots of his stuff. Skooks the laptop, Chaahc the cell phone, Cortez the knife, and Dinkleberg, his favorite plush bear.
- Japanese Pronouns: Tends to use atashi.
- Knife Nut: Then again, it comes with the culinary territory. See Chef of Iron above.
- Mexican Loves El Fuerte
- Nice Guy: Probably the kindest in the crew.
- Nightmare Fetishist: Has a strange fondness of certain things other people would find slightly repugnant: He loves the Cute Monster Girl and Body Horror tropes as much as he likes spiders. This is noteworthy because the guy is known for liking mostly cutesy, almost girly stuff.
- Leitmotif: He has been associated with many tunes, mostly "Go! Getsu Fuhma!" and "Trombe!".
- Perpetual Poverty: Zigzagged. Though it is uncanny to see how he always has 5 measly dollars on him, it is worth noting such a budget could feed him once or twice a day if used correctly.
- Playing with Fire: When he was a teenager, he developed a fascination with fire. Fortunately, the guy has learned self-control... to a certain degree.
- Pre Ass Kicking One Liner: DIE, INFIDEL!!

- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue to Joe's Red.

- Team Mom: The guy spends half the time trying to make sure everyone is playing nice and everyone is fed. He also listens to whatever anybody has to say. In a group of more than 5 teenagers/young adults, it's no easy feat.
- The Red Baron: Mexican Gentleman.
- Straight Bi: Not like anybody gives a shit.
- Tareme Eyes: This trait made him a target of ridicule during his Middle School days. Several years later, it became the opposite when people have told him [[Heartwarming his face makes them feel at ease due to this]].
- The Lancer: He is this whenever Joe or Michael are around.
- Verbal Tic, mate: Lampshaded by Patrick, who is quick to note Al is not Australian.
- What Could Have Been: Due to circumstances, Al has changed careers several times already. If he had stayed in any of them, he could already be a programmer, or an accountant, or a layout artist, or a culinary arts student. At the time of this writing, he is studying Digital Media AGAIN.
- Weapon Of Choice: His dear 8 inch German steel Chef's knife, which he named Cortez. Also, Fire and as of lately YoYos.
