!!Nopcsa



'''Nopcsa''' (''Lee'')
* AdventureDuo: With Terrian. They go back and forth on who's who, though.
* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: Though Nopcsa's largely unflappable, his brief encounters with inhuman mindsets tend to give him a HeroicBSOD. Especially notable are the twins in Luxury Train Ride, Mandelbrot in Ishkabibble, and ''SOMETHING'' in Emet.

* DirtyMindReading: Provides some of his favorite blackmail material.
* FanNickname: "Nopnop".
** AscendedFanon: Starting in [[http://archipelagoexodus.proboards.com/post/74681/thread (Dis)Orientation]], Emily's picked up the use of that nickname in-universe.
* CombatPragmatist: Nopcsa's thrown boiling coffee, ripped out piercings, made sexual advances on his male opponents just distract them, used a holy statue as a shield against an attacking monk, deliberately played bystanders to convince them to attack his opponents, and pretty much every other dirty trick in the book. Not to mention his signature move...
* GroinAttack: Attempts one on Prime in Luxury Train Ride, another on Sikes in Ishkabibble, and uses one described as a "football punt" on the Lama in Bows. Every time, his opponent No Sells the attack.
* GuileHero
* ManInWhite
* NoNameGiven / OnlyOneName: "Nopcsa" is a pseudonym; we've never learned his real name. According to [[http://archipelagoexodus.proboards.com/post/51195/thread this post]], "Nopcsa" was chosen by Order members for being totally unlike his real name in "mystic signature" (in other words, he's making a point of not letting other magical characters pull an IKnowYourTrueName on him).

'''Telrien Wallen''' (''Cendra'')
* ArcherArchetype
* StickyFingers
* TrickArrow: A handful.
--> “I haven't had time to finish this one quite yet, but basically it will hold a strong acid that, once injected into the target, will deteriorate the tissue around it quickly. The green one, here, makes you delusional, as if just the plain impact wasn't enough to startle you. The black one is set with springs, of sorts, and once in the target, lets loose these three prongs that make up the arrow head.” As a demonstration Telrien took her fork and set off the trigger. The sharp sides jumped forward with a snap making it look like a mini grappling hook. She looked pleased with herself as she set it back on the table. Then she turned to the fourth one.

-->“And the plain looking, white one, well, that's a secret.”

'''Auguste Tylor''' (''Lee'')

* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: Though Nopcsa's largely unflappable, his brief encounters with inhuman mindsets tend to give him a HeroicBSOD. Especially notable are the twins in Luxury Train Ride, Mandelbrot in Ishkabibble, and ''SOMETHING'' in Emet.
* AmoralAttorney: Williams certainly pegs him for one of these in Obscured Truth. In point of fact, Nopcsa really is interested in uncovering the true identity of the Butterfly... but only for the Fascere Order's practical benefit.
* AscendedExtra: Nopcsa wasn't originally slated to appear past Triannual, but Lee now considers him a second-tier character. Between Emet, Bows, and Ishkabibble, Nopcsa's easily the most prominent representative of the Fascere Order.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Justified; though it might seem like his sinister, assertive personality from Triannual's first few pages falls by the wayside, Ishkabibble reveals that it's an intimidation tactic that he slips into when dealing with strangers that he knows he can freak out.
* DirtyMindReading: Provides some of his favorite blackmail material.
* FanNickname: "Nopnop".
** AscendedFanon: Starting in [[http://archipelagoexodus.proboards.com/post/74681/thread (Dis)Orientation]], Emily's picked up the use of that nickname in-universe.

* PstandardPsychicPstance: Zigzagged; when Nopcsa is really flaunting his mindreading, he touches the cheek that his artifact is implanted in. However, it's never clear how much of this is him needing to do it, versus just showing off to intimidate those around him by making it obvious he's reading their minds.
* Telepathy: The read-only kind, and he milks it for all it's worth.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He can do these quite well, but only bothers when he knows it'll affect his opponent in the first place.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Some confusion in Triannual as to whether the name ended in "-csa" or "-sca". An adjustment to the censored words list resolved this problem in one stroke.

[[#Garth]]
'''Garth Firbolg''' (''Lee'')
* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: Subverted in how not awesome his amulet turns out to be.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: After spending the first portion of the topic getting teased, pranked, and antagonized by almost everybody, he reveals that he's quite possibly the singular most dangerous Power in the entire school.
* ButtMonkey: It seems that Garth is only the center of attention when he's on the receiving end of insults. Or, if you're a faculty member at Terminer, tonally inappropriate physical punishment.
* FakeDefector: In Triannual.
* GlassCannon: Garth's powers make him an offensive match for almost any Power in Whelkshore. However, defensively, he's merely a sickly teenager with no combat training. (That's not even mentioning the other [[CastFromHP side effects]] of his powers.)
* LetsGetDangerous
* NewMeat: In Triannual, along with Terrian. Despite the jokes from other Fascere members, though, both are valued a little more highly than the trope suggests.
* NoRespectGuy: Meta example. After Garth got sidelined hard during his debut story, Triannual, it's become something of a running gag that he can [[MemeticLoser never get a scrap of recognition]] from the forum community.
* PortalCut: Slices the tip off a meteor the size of Kentucky.
* ProperlyParanoid: Is understandably concerned when the prank war in (Dis)Orientation starts escalating.
* SailorEarth: Garth's Zodiac disc corresponds to Ophiuchus the Serpent, the little-known ''thirteenth'' Zodiac sign.
* TechnicolorFire: A whole spectrum's worth, in fact.
* ThinkingUpPortals: Normally appears as a pyromancer, but whenever he makes a ring from his flames, he can use it as a bridge to any point outside of Earth's atmosphere.
* WesternZodiac
