History Characters / Armello

* MagneticHero: Her talent, '''Revolutionary''', gets her a new follower whenever she "saves" a terrorized settlement.

* RebelLeader: She is believes herself to be the leader of a [[LaResistance revolution]] against the King.

* FlowerInHerHair: Her head is adorned with a ring of flowers in her Wyldsinger skin.

* MurderInTheFamily: In a Rot-induced state, he assassinates his father, Alpha Thunder, in the misguided belief that his father's death was necessary to keep the Rot contained.

* {{Adorkable}}: A tubby, shy loner whose threats never come off as truly threatening:

* ShieldBash: She incapacitates her opponents by letting them taste the full weight of her mighty shield.

She can build fortifications by ending her turn on a settlement. It costs an additional AP to move into a fortified settlement.

* PersonaNonGrata: It's unclear why, but the King refuses to let the Stranger inside his palace. The only clue is that the Stranger apparently sees the King as an "old friend".

* TheSouthpaw: Wields her sabre with her left hand.

* DroolDeluge: Downplayed, but one of his more distinctive features -- a gob of drool hanging from his fanged maw and forked, lolling tongue, complete with [[{{Phlegmings}} gooey strands]] between his lips. Seemingly a sign of madness or palsy.

* {{Expy}}: Looks a ''lot'' like one of the [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears Gummi Bears]], and his intro scene in the trailer is also highly reminiscent of [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Treebeard discovering the desolation of Saruman]].

* {{Foil}}: To Thane to some extent. Both are strong combat-oriented heroes, but Thane focuses on offense and his special ability involves burning Sword cards, while Magna focuses on defense and her special ability requires burning Shield cards. Magna also seems to take her role more seriously than Thane does his.

* DifficultButAwesome: Playing her requires not only knowing how to get by without ever directly fighting practically anything, but also managing her unique Curses. You must know which symbol creates each curse, which spells to keep and which to turn into curses depending on the situation, and when and how to use curses to maximum effect. Played to her strengths, she is one of the most powerful magic users in the game, who never has "dead drops" cluttering her hand.

* LightIsNotGood: With access to Bear Clan rings and the ability to devour Rot spells for a Curse of Skill (without gaining any rot on herself in the process), she's quite good at remaining entirely rot-free. She's also an [[TheUnfettered unfettered]] WickedWitch.

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: He maybe be a master tinkerer, but Barnaby is still just a hyperactive child at heart.

* ScrewySquirrel: Literally a squirrel, and considering that half the reason she started stealing was for the thrill of getting away with something under the nobles' noses and that her primary in-game tactic is to abscond with the enemy's cards while being nearly impossible to hit in return, she fits the archetype nicely.

* JustOneMan: Sylas's special ability, '''Butcher''' makes this an in-game mechanic, granting him +1 Sword for each Bounty level. Killing multiple guards in a row is generally the fastest way to raise your bounty, but Sylas also gains [[ArmorPiercingAttack Pierce]] against all guards. The higher his Bounty level, the more powerful he becomes, and the more likely guards are to attack him, feeding his UnstoppableRage. With good enough rolls, he's one of the best candidates for storming the castle and slaying the king for an early upset victory.

* PlayfulOtter: Inverted with a (literal) vengeance. Sylas is dour at his best and murderous at his worst.

* AnAxeToGrind: Weapon of choice

* BlatantBurglar: Wears a BlackCloak and bandana.

* PhantomThief: Steals for the {{challenge|Seeker}}, the {{thrill|Seeker}} of it all, and [[JustLikeRobinHood the good of the common folk]], relies on illusions and trickery, dislikes violence, and performs seemingly impossible heists only to leave a CallingCard behind. There's little that can stop this thieving squirrel from carrying out a successful heist.
* ScrewySquirrel: Literally a squirrel, and considering that half the reason she started stealing was for the thrill of getting away with something under the nobles and that her primary in-game tactic is to abscond with the enemy's cards while being nearly impossible to hit in combat, she fits the archetype quite well.

* BladeOnAStick / SerratedBladeOfPain: Wields a fishing spear with a jagged, fishbone-styled tip.
* DealWithTheDevil: Has made a deal with some dark force that promises him revenge on the King.

* PlayfulOtter: Inverted with a (literal) vengeance. Sylas is dour at his best and murderous at his worst.

* VictorGainsLosersPowers: His original talent involved killing guards. For every guard he killed, he gains 1 Sword when fighting. This remained with him until he dies. It was changed in a rule patch

* StoneWall: 6 Body and a HealingFactor as her special ability mean her strategy leans toward outlasting her opponents. Her actual fighting ability is '''decent''' at 4, but not particularly impressive.

* KnifeNut: His default weapon is a simple dagger, complete with him LickingTheBlade after character select.

* ManiacTongue: Has a long prehensile tongue which he uses to [[LickingTheBlade lick his knife]] before the battle for the throne begins.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: A creepy little sadist, black with a grey underbelly and bright red stripes (some of them actually [[CoveredWithScars scars]]), with [[RedEyesTakeWarning big goggling red eyes]] and darting slit pupils.

* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite looking rather pudgy, she's very, very capable of evading enemy attacks AND stealing their cards too.
* BadassPacifist: While she ''can'' attack, she's really better off defending herself - in which case she does no damage, but avoids her enemy's attack and steals a card from them. The picture quote emphasizes how she hates the violence that the King's madness and the resulting war for Armello have triggered.
* BanditMook / VideoGameStealing: Her ability gives her permanent Evasion, meaning unless she triggers the fight herself, she will always be fleeing when attacked. When she does a successful escape, she steals one card from the attacker.

* MasterThief: There's little that can stop this thieving squirrel from carrying out a successful heist.
* ScrewySquirrel: Literally a squirrel, and considering that her primary tactic is to flee with the enemy's cards and that it's nigh impossible to catch her to enact retribution, she fits the archetype quite well.

!!Sylas -- The Fisher of Souls

!!Volodar -- The Wormchanter

* ThatsNoMoon: What Vero first takes to be a rune-inscribed boulder in the novella (making her believe she's been going in circles, since she's seen it before) is actually Agniya in her shell, looking out for the scholar on her quest.

* ChainedByFashion: Wields a smoking censer as one of his weapons, with the {{chain|Pain}} wrapped around his whole body.

The King, the clan heroes, and minor characters of ''VideoGame/{{Armello}}''. Heroes are categorized by the two starting heroes, the Usurpers, and the Rivals in that order (with the exception of the Bandit Clan who were bundled together).

* GetItOverWith: Says this word-for-word in her "Go for Elyssia" emote:

* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Her ability to permanently alter the map for the remainder of the game tends to give matches with Elyssia a markedly different pace. As her priorities tend toward accumulating as many settlements as possible, she likewise tends to rack up a lot of gold, and her high Wits means she has plenty of cards she can use to gear herself up, whittle her opponents down, or defend herself with in the event she's directly attacked.

* MechanicallyUniqueClass: Her ability to permanently alter the map for the remainder of the game tends to give matches with Elyssia a markedly different pace. As her priorities tend toward accumulating as many settlements as possible, she likewise tends to rack up a lot of gold, and her high Wits means she has plenty of cards she can use to gear herself up, whittle her opponents down, or defend herself with in the event she's directly attacked.

* StoneWall: Fittingly enough, though in a different way from most. While her starting 5 Body is respectable, she also gains added defense she gets from her walls, and can use their increase Action Point cost to put distance between herself and more dangerous opponents.

* ActionPolitician: She's the Wardress of Warrens, arguably one of the most powerful political positions in the Rabbit Clan hierarchy. Yet, she shows no hesitation in joining the battle for the crown and can hold her own against other heroes easily.
* BadassBookworm: She's an eminent architect who masterminds city fortifications, but she can adventure with the best of them.
* DualWielding: Wields a large-headed staff like a warhammer in conjunction with a large carpenter's hammer.
* GetItOverWith: Says this word-for-word in her Go for Elyssia emote:

* TheGreatWall: Her talent allows her to automatically build walls on settlements whenever she ends her turn in one. Settlements with walls have +1 Shield bonus but has an additional AP cost when moving into it, much like a mountain tile. However, Elyssia has no movement penalty on fortified settlements. The fortifications are also permanent unlike the Palisades trickery card (which fortifies a settlement, but gets taken down when another player claims the settlement).

* PerpetualFrowner: Never breaks a smile and frowns throughout battle.

* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: While she's never seen wearing them, she carries a pair of spectacles on herself. In the Usurpers trailer, she's shown planning and drafting the construction of a town's defenses.

* BothOrderAndChaosAreDangerous: In the novella, the Wyld is shown to be a petty, capricious force of chaos, life unbound. Volodar would bring calm and order... by asking Armello to embrace death and oblivion.
* DroolDeluge: Downplayed, but one of his more distinctive features -- a large gob of drool hanging from his toothless maw and forked, lolling tongue, complete with [[{{Phlegmings}} gooey strands]] between his lips. Seemingly a sign of madness or palsy.

* MindControl: The self-proclaimed power he wields. In-game, this takes the form of his special ability, ''Enthrall'': at the end of his turn, all adjacent Bane fall under his spell causing them to automatically attack any hero or guard who enters a neighboring hex.

* SquishyWizard: Sitting at only 3 Fight and 4 Body, he will not be outmatching anything in combat, but he has one of the highest starting Spirit totals in the game. He prefers letting his enthralled Bane pets soften heroes up before blasting them down with his powerful spells.

* AffablyEvil: In the novella, she greets Vero with genuine warmth after protecting her during her sojourn in the swamp. She's also genuinely dedicated to the Worm, and seemingly loyal to Volodar at the time.

* HealingFactor: Her special ability, ''Consecrate'' -- after killing any creature, she receives the Blessing of the Worm, regaining +1 Health at the start of her next two turns.
* IGaveMyWord: She swore an oath to serve the Worm. Her in-game chat dialogue contains what could be taken as faint hints that she isn't exactly happy about it now, after all this time.

* ThatsNoMoon: What Vero first takes to be a rune-inscribed boulder in the novella (making her believe she's going in circles) is actually Agniya in her shell, looking out for her on her quest.

* VideoGameStealing: Her special ability, ''Flagellant'' -- whenever she attacks an enemy, she pulls a random card from their hand with her whip, destroying it as if she burned it herself and gaining that die roll.

* DoppelgangerSpin: His specialty as the resident MasterOfIllusion -- his special ability, ''Deceiver'', gives him an extra Illusion card on each of his turns (if not used, it disappears at the end of his turn). This illusory double can be sent into an adjacent square when Nazar moves.

* HighPriest: The Herald of the Worm and leader of his {{cult}}ists.

%%* MagicKnight: 5 Magic is as high as any other character in the game, and the highest of any Dragon Clan hero. 3 Fight isn't amazing, but 4 Body gives him a fair amount of staying power for a magic user, and his ability rewards staying close to other heroes, whether to soften them up for his Bane allies or finish them off after the fact.%%He's not much of a Magic Knight considering that he is among the heroes with the highest spellcasting stats and the lowest fighting stats, alongside Sargon, Yordana, Sana and Twiss.

%%* MagikarpPower: Starts with fairly low Wit, and his inexpensive spells ability only really come into play when he has higher Wit and lots of cards. %%It seems like most character abilities are balanced this way, to keep them from becoming {{Game Breaker}}s.

* StoneWall: His passive and starting 6 Body can ill make him quite difficult to take down, but he has a comparatively measly 3 Fight.

* MagicKnight: 5 Magic is as high as any other character in the game, and the highest of any Dragon Clan hero. 3 Fight isn't amazing, but 4 Body gives him a fair amount of staying power for a magic user, and his ability rewards staying close to other heroes, whether to soften them up for his Bane allies or finish them off after the fact.
