* FatBestFriend: The {{Cloudcuckoolander}} type to Aerith and Li.

* StoneWall: Usually too clumsy for the sword to be of much use, but extremely resilient to attacks.

!!Elfric "Rick"

An experienced champion and Li's father. Quiet and conventional, much like his son, but with a harder edge. Cold and stern, he takes his job seriously with no mercy for incompetent novices. Nevertheless has an unbreakable friendship with considerably less disciplined fellow champion Sier, which he insists is solely by virtue of being in the same profession. Wields a composite longbow.

* TheBigGuy
* DeathGlare: Sports a pretty nasty one sometimes

!!Renne

The receptionist at the Undersee champion's Union, and Li's mother. Has a soft spot for cute things. Rather affectionate towards the young champions at her branch, but has no problem being strict with them, with no qualms about leaving them at the mercy of [[DrillSergeantNasty her husband]]. And be all cheery and unapologetic about it later too. One of the few people Aerith feel comfortable talking to on a personal level.

* CutenessProximity
* TheFace: Of the Undersee champions
* NiceGirl

* GoodShepherd

[[folder:Cresta]]

A beautiful, verdant city-state, Cresta has an active tourism and entertainment industry. The government is rather open and generous with its resources, being known to throw festivals left, right and center, but also rather irresponsible, often running out of funds and having to rely on other city-states (usually [[CapitalCity Harkea]]) to get things running again. Politically, they're rather inactive, being known to run and hide when things get serious.

* [[GenkiGirl Genki City]]
* FunPersonified

!!Mayor Eliot

The head of Cresta, and a rather chipper gentleman. Comes across as irresponsible, but tries to do a good job of keeping the place in order, though keeping the spirit of fun throughout the land is top priority. A genuinely good mayor who just wants to see everyone happy, and the people know it too. Sometimes over-reliant on champions to be his more skeptical side.

The convent's sacrist.

* StraightMan

!!Sister Yvette

The convent's librarian.

* DeadpanSnarker

A dogmatic and sanctimonious nun who was appointed to the Arnstead priory and rose to power there over the years. Deeply troubled, she believes no-one possibly cares for her, leading to a compulsive need to be noticed and do something special, at least according to Mother Christina. Everyone else just thinks she's a self-righteous jerk.

Tovar is a representative oligarchy presided over by clerics of the Enneagram. It used to be an oppressive dictatorship with a CorruptChurch but has being overthrown around 500 years ago and has now reformed. It divides into 5 city-states, each with very different values, but nevertheless have a good level of tolerance and communication with one another.

!!Sister Anwen

A dogmatic and sanctimonious nun who was appointed as almoner to keep her away from the convent for days at a time.

!!The Nation

The main civiliation in Carefree is The Nation of the United Cities. It's a representative oligarchy presided over by clerics of the Enneagram. It used to be an oppressive dictatorship with a CorruptChurch but has being overthrown around 500 years ago and has now reformed. It divides into 5 city-states, each with very different values, but nevertheless have a good level of tolerance and communication with one another.

* {{Technical Pacifist}}s: Under no circumstances is anyone to kill a person; they believe individuals have no right to judge if someone truly deserves death. They allow violence, if only because the National Assembly enforce the right to self defense, though they don't treat it lightly and [[DoesntLikeGuns prohibits the use of guns]]. [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman They can go all out on anything non-human, though]]

A busy {{Merchant City}}-State that [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial definitely has nothing to do actual tropes.]][[note]]Honest, it was only chosen because the author thought it sounds cool.[[/note]]. Commonly acknowlegded as the central network of the Nation. Almost anything can be sold there. Home to and governed by most of the Nation's largest companies, it's the most productive city-state, but authorities can be deceitful and power-hungry, with sweatshops exploiting people for cheap labour and occupying giant shiny skyscrapers leaving the masses in slums only a few steps away.

The capital of the Nation, presided over by its bishop and home to the Primary Order, the nuns that govern the Nation in general. Holds a convention annually for the governers of each city-state. Second largest city-state after Trope.

!!The Kingdom

The Kingdom was formed after the revolution of the the old Nation by those who turned away from the Nine Gods. It is a small country to the north of the Nation with a lot of poverty and oppression, which is ironic because that's what they wanted to flee from in the first place.

[[spoiler:[[folder:Karma (UNMARKED SPOILERS)]]]]

Home to the famous Information Plaza, a giant library with some huge universal sections, some small sections authours and groups can rent to promote themselves and tons of graffiti. It mainly contains scrolls for loan, but there are other things as well such as artifacts, though only those held at a certain level of trust may loan unique items. The Plaza is open 24/7 and many have fallen victim to the addictive activity of browsing its wares.

A warm, close-knit community [[spoiler:(at least in theory)]] that prefers to live a simple, if toilsome lifestyle, rejecting the use of firearms and elemental technology, instead relying on the power of teamwork to get things done. However, they hold their beliefs really firmly, to the point of being dogmatic, backwards-thinking and surprisingly political, contrary to the peaceful impression they give.

The main vacational spot of the Nation, Cresta maintains a natural environment despite being relatively commercialized. The government is rather open and generous with its resources, being known to throw festivals left, right and center, but also rather irresponsible, often running out of funds and having to rely on other city-states (usually [[CapitalCity Harkea]]) to get things running again. Politically, they're rather inactive, being known to run and hide when things get serious.

As the progressive technological center of the Nation, the urban city-state is frequented by many of the groundbreaking inventors. Employs a liberal government style where the laws are more like guidelines which one can break as long as it doesn't result in tangible damage. But the consequences are random, so an emancipated individual can be left bankrupt by accidentally burning someone's shoes. The taxes are low, but there's no support for the disadvantaged, so while one is free in Estel, one is alone for good.

Childish but laid-back and levelheaded, Regan has little interest in other people's drama. Unless it involves explosions. Curious about weapons, traps, locks and contraptions of the like, Regan can often reverse-engineer such contraptions by trial-and-error. She's only interested in mathematical and scientific theory for all the cool stuff that can be done with it, though sometimes the headache isn't worth it in her opinion. She also shows interest in becoming a champion, but only because it's fun to kill things and infiltrate places, and all the talk of duty and protecting the people "cramps her style". The local union jokes about humanity being doomed if she ever makes it.

* BookDumb

* DeadpanSnarker
* FragileSpeedster
* IneffectualLoner

* PetitePride
* TheSneakyGuy
* StreetSmart
* TrapMaster
* WrenchWench

Impulsive loudmouth who wields an axe, and constantly misbehaving member of section 4-1. Is a talented fighter, but doesn't like attending the Academy because he hates the discipline and only attend the Academy because his parents say that it's hard to get a job as a Champion for a non-graduate.

* HairTriggerTemper
* JerkJock: Not popular, but otherwise fits.

* TheNapoleon: Short sighted, short-tempered and all around short.

[[spoiler:[[folder:Karma (UNMARKED SPOILERS]]]]

They allow violence, though they don't treat it lightly and [[DoesntLikeGuns prohibits the use of guns]]. [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman They can go all out on anything non-human, though]]

A cheerful, energetic champion who likes engaging various people in light-hearted banter but has trouble forging deeper connections. She has a beef with her parents and the traditional Undersee values they hold dear, going out of her way to rebel against them; becoming a champion so she can leave the city-state on quests. Wields a shortsword and a shield.

* IntrepidMerchant: Wants to become one of these.* PluckyGirl
* SmallTownBoredom/ HatedHometown: She's really soured towards the traditional Undersee values her parents hold so dear, mostly because they've been preached to her ad nauseum. But also partly because of her naturally outgoing and adventurous personality.

A quiet but friendly novice champion and Elfric and Renne's first son. Unlike Aerith, he's always enjoyed the simple and low-profile life in Undersee and prefers to keep it that way. After being reluctantly dragged into the whirlwind adventure as a champion (which he decided to become out of a desire to protect his community), he realizes it wasn't as bad as he feared, but still prefers his old life in the end. Wields a spear, and is one of the more competent champions for his age.

!!Elfric

An experienced champion and Li's father. Quiet and conventional, much like his son, but with a harder edge. Cold and stern, he takes his job seriously with no mercy for incompetent novices. Nevertheless has an unbreakable friendship with considerably less disciplined fellow champion Keer, which he insists is solely by virtue of being in the same profession. Wields a composite longbow.

Home to and governed by most of the Nation's largest companies, it's the most productive city-state, but authorities can be deceitful and power-hungry, with sweatshops exploiting people for cheap labour and occupying giant shiny skyscrapers leaving the masses in slums only a few steps away.

An ambitious young manager at Fitzgerald's and Carnelian and Ionique's older brother. Persuasive and charismatic, he often provides the party with useful information from connections with high places. Aerith has a thing for him.

The local union jokes about humanity being doomed if she ever makes it.

An extremely eccentic but brilliant young Harkean whose parents are concerned about his eccentricity and tries a little too hard to "help" him, conversely making him even more fearful of violating social norms. His parents eventually decided to send him to Estel, [[spoiler:believing they have failed him and that he'll be happier there as they'll never be able to connect with him, which was sad, but Carnelian was genuinely happier after the move.]] He specialized in spell theory; he's very much a theorist in general who isn't as interested as applied theory.

A somewhat vain and elitist alchemist who specializes in humourism. Part of a team that invents a lot of the newest potions that come out.

A dogmatic and sanctimonious nun who was appointed as almoner to keep her away from the convent for days at a time. Deeply troubled, she believes no-one possibly cares for her, leading to a compulsive need to be noticed and do something special, at least according to Mother Christina. Everyone else just thinks she's a self-righteous jerk. [[spoilers: She joins forces with Lilias of the revolution 300 years ago by giving him eyes after he lost his physical instruments of perception when his body decayed.]]

!!Ionique

A senior and warrant officer at the north campus. Cool, calm and collected, Ionique is rather to the Academy and plans to stay there as an officer rather than become a champion. Effectively the school captain, she leads the morning and evening formations where she announces information and reminders of special events or relevant news.

Impulsive loudmouth who wields an axe, and constantly absent member of section 4-1. Is a talented fighter, but doesn't like attending the Academy because he hates discipline and [[spoiler:because he believe he's only here because his father wants to get rid of him,]] especially since he attends the north campus despite living in Estel, and thus closer to the south. Consequently, he's always in trouble.

* LightningBruiser: Technically fast and strong, but lacks constitution and stamina due to lack of training.

* OffToBoardingSchool: Was apparently sent to the Academy for misbehavior, [[spoiler:and because his father blames him for his mother's death. In actual fact, it was just because his father thought he'd like an adventurous career, which he does, but couldn't stand the discipline of a military academy.]]

* {{Tsundere}}: To Ionique
* UnskilledButStrong: He rarely attends the Academy, but he makes up for it in raw talent.

!!Pi

Senior and a corporal, commander of section 1-3. Cheerful and outgoing, all the juniors want to be in his section. Refrained from ascending to higher ranks due to a mixture of humility and distaste for paperwork, preferring to be right in the middle of things getting his hands dirty. Wields a rapier.

* FriendToAllChildren
* GenkiGuy

* ItIsDehumanising: All members of Karma insists on being reffered to as "It" if they happen to encounter people, to drive in the point they have well and truly thrown away their humanity.

!!Lilias

See [[Characters/Origins Lilias]]

A fantasy geek who likes to play tabletop RPGs and card games with his kids, friends and later Carnelian. His wife has become stricter over the years as she works to pay the bills, despite him assuring her they have no need for a house. He attends the tabletop games tournament every year, having the championship spot stripped from him in the 292 convention.

!!Keer

A rather cocky and outrageous champion and Plus' father. Elfric's good friend and usual teammate in adventure. Wields a sling.

* CasanovaWannabe: [[spoiler: Partly because he realised that Imogen is genophobic, but stayed with her nonetheless. Naturally, he'll have urges to start eyeing other women...]]
* ChivalrousPervert

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite being rather crude and boastful, he can be a really nice guy, especially to his family. [[spoiler: And he's arguably one of the more innocent members of the Undersee community who's unaware of the underlying political undertones and just wants everyone to have fun together.]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: Can come across as quite a show-off.

!!Imogen

Plus' timid and childlike mother, who most likely has an intellectual disability. She often tries helping out with various things, [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption to no avail.]]

* [[spoiler:{{Asexuality}}]]
* TheCutie
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Often feels that she relies too much on the community without giving back anything useful. [[TheHeart She does.]]
* DisabledMeansHelpless: Tries very hard to avert this.
* DumbIsGood
* TheHeart: The community is often inspired to keep together and be happy, even if only for her sake.
* ShrinkingViolet
* WomanChild

!!Friar Jovius

The first daughter of Estel's judge, who's pretty open-minded and allows her to experiment with everything. She's not the best academic performer, but she's adept at stealth, sabotage and mechanics due to her curious and mischevous nature and liberal environment. Childish but laid-back and levelheaded, has little interest in other people's drama. Unless it involves explosions. Seems interested in becoming a champion, but only because it's fun to kill things and infiltrate places, and all the talk of duty and protecting the people "cramps her style".

Regan's little brother, he's one year ahead of his sister despite being 3 years younger and won't shut up about it. Despite getting ahead in the circle of intellectuals, he's actually got little interest in theory and lacks the imagination and non-linear reasoning abilities of Carnelian. A leader at heart, he looks forward to take over his father as head of law enforcement in Estel, especially after his run-in with the party. He's got no problem making friends with his older classmates, but also keeps in touch with his peer buddies who enjoy playing strategic collectable card games against one another. Naturally, Roy always wins.

An extremely eccentic but brilliant young Harkean whose parents are concerned about his eccentricity and tries a little too hard to "help" him, conversely making him even more fearful of violating social norms. His parents eventually decided to send him to Estel, [[spoiler:believing they have failed him and that he'll be happier there as they'll never be able to connect with him]]. Initially rather insecure about being placed in the same class as the much younger Roy, especially as he tests him intellectually on feats based on raw number-crunching ability and detailed memory, neither being his strong point as he never practices.

* BrilliantButLazy: He's this one moment and [[{{Workaholic}} the Workaholic]] the next. No in-between. Because he's not in it for the money and only does it because he likes to. And he only likes to when in the right mood.

* MotorMouth

* OpenMouthInsertFoot: Extremely prone to this
* PluckyComicRelief

!!Delta

!!Sister Caria

!!Sister Remigia

A cheerful, energetic champion who likes engaging various people in light-hearted banter but has trouble forging deeper connections. She has a beef with her parents and the traditional Undersee values they hold dear, going out of her way to rebel against them in ways such as sporting a radical haircut, making crude jokes and becoming a champion so she can leave the city-state on quests. Wields a shortsword and a shield. Maybe likes teasing people, especially Sander and Plus, a little too much.

* IntrepidMerchant: Wants to become one of these.
* TheMatchmaker: Likes to tease people about relationships ALOT. She often tries to ship Plus with Sander, to no avail.
* PluckyGirl

!!Sander

A quiet but friendly novice champion and Elfric and Reane's first son. Unlike Aerith, he's always enjoyed the simple and low-profile life in Undersee and prefers to keep it that way. After being reluctantly dragged into the whirlwind adventure as a champion (which he decided to become out of a desire to protect his community), he realizes it wasn't as bad as he feared, but still prefers his old life in the end. Wields a spear, and is one of the more competent champions for his age.

A mild-tempered, fun-loving novice champion with a spacey, optimistic and clumsy demeanor. She's innocently incapable of relating to other people on an emotional level, which also gives her access to almost frighteningly rational insight into topics others shy away from. She neither sports Aerith's rebelliousness or Sander's conservativeness, making her the perfect person to mediate (or more accurately, distract from) their differences. Wields a sword, but no-one knows why since she's barely able to hit anything with it, instead with her grasp of elusive spells being her strongest point.

* FatBestFriend: The {{Cloudcuckoolander}} type to Aerith and Sander.

An experienced champion and Sander's father. Quiet and conventional, much like his son, but with a harder edge. Cold and stern, he takes his job seriously with no mercy for incompetent novices. Nevertheless has an unbreakable friendship with considerably less disciplined fellow champion Keer, which he insists is solely by virtue of being in the same profession. Wields a composite longbow.

The receptionist at the Undersee champion's Union, and Sander's mother. Has a soft spot for cute things. Rather affectionate towards the young champions at her branch, but has no problem being strict with them, with no qualms about leaving them at the mercy of [[DrillSergeantNasty her husband]]. And be all cheery and unapologetic about it later too. One of the few people Aerith feel comfortable talking to on a personal level.

A dogmatic and sanctimonious nun who was appointed as almoner to keep her away from the convent for days at a time. Deeply troubled, she believes no-one possibly cares for her, leading to a compulsive need to be noticed and do something special, at least according to Mother Christina. Everyone else just thinks she's a self-righteous jerk.

[[spoiler:* ItIsDehumanizing: As Karma, she insists on being called "it", to distance herself from humanity.]]

[[spoiler:* SimpleStaff: The Life Magnet, which, with proximity, instantly sucks the life out of anyone who's not strong enough to hold on.]]
[[spoiler:* TouchOfDeath: Her Life Magnet, as Karma]]

[[folder:Undead]]

The dead who refuse to die. Usually they're vampires, [[CaptainObvious who survives by drinking blood]]. The rare Undead keep their bodies functioning through sheer force of will, always to a self-destructive degree in terms of their spirit.

* {{Determinator}}: The non-vampire variety.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: These vampires are simply live corpses who feed upon blood, who react to garlic, sunlight and whatnot like any normal corpse. They also look like any normal corpse, only they don't rot.
* TheUndead: Duh.

!!Karma[[spoiler:/Anwen]]

[[spoiler: See Sister Anwen]]

!!Sister Celeste

!!Sister Caris

The main vacational spot of the Nation, Cresta maintains a natural environment despite being relatively commercialized. The government is rather open and generous with its resources, being known to throw festivals left, right and center, but also rather irresponsible, often running out of funds and having to rely on other city-states (usually [[TheCapital Harkea]]) to get things running again. Politically, they're rather inactive, being known to run and hide when things get serious.

The head of Cresta, and a rather chipper gentleman. Comes across as irresponsible, but actually does a good job of keeping the place in order while still keeping the spirit of fun throughout the land. A genuinely good mayor who just wants to see everyone happy, and the people know it too. Sometimes over-reliant on champions to be his more skeptical side.

[[quoteright:289:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/j_7134.png]]A jolly travelling preacher who regularly visits Undersee, especially the champions' Union. He often brings supplies not found in Undersee and occasionally helps out on quests with his experience on travel and martial proficiency. Has a tendency to ramble on about abstract and confusing religious stuff which only Plus seemingly take interest in.

!! Strone

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/st_704.png]]Rebellious and headstrong champion and [[MilitarySchool Academy of Eight]] student at the north campus where she ranks as a sergeant and is in her final year. Niece to the Mayor of Cresta, she often gets frustrated at the irresponsible management, often wishing she could take charge and set everything straight. Likes to stick her nose in where people least want it, and is very competent with the fasces.

* BadassBoast
* DrillSergeantNasty: Towards the freshmen
* GlacierWaif: Not naturally strong, but Strone went through strenuous training at the resident MilitarySchool.
* HairTriggerTemper
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold

[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/m_9169.png]]The daughter of the Mayor of Cresta, a very cheerful, friendly little girl who loves stories, and everything else too.

* [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Annoying Younger Cousin]]: Well Strone certainly thinks so. Everyone else, however, finds her adorable.
* CheerfulChild
* GenkiGirl
* GenreSavvy / WrongGenreSavvy: She just won't stop (mis?)applying trends in stories in day-to-day life. Sometimes she's right and sometimes she's wrong, but it's mostly PlayedForLaughs

[[quoteright:279:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b_2386.png]]An ambitious young manager at Fitzgerald's and Carnelian and Ionique's older brother. Persuasive and charismatic, he often provides the party with useful information from connections with high places. Aerith has a thing for him.

[[quoteright:247:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/r_176.png]]The first daughter of a key member of the Estel law-enforcement, who's pretty open-minded and allows her to experiment with everything. She's not the best academic performer, but she's adept at stealth, sabotage and mechanics due to her curious and mischevous nature and liberal environment. Childish but laid-back and levelheaded, has little interest in other people's drama. Unless it involves explosions. Or if it's from a video game. Seems interested in becoming a champion, but only because it's fun to kill things and infiltrate places, and all the talk of duty and protecting the people "cramps her style".

%% * FragileSpeedster
* GenreSavvy: It's good to play a lot of video games if you're in a RolePlayingGameVerse

* PetitePride: "Boobs are icky."

* SpoiledBrat: Strone accuses her of being this, but Regan is more independent and far less demanding than what's typical.

[[quoteright:247:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ro_7964.png]]Regan's little brother, he's one year ahead of his sister despite being 3 years younger and won't shut up about it. Despite getting ahead in the circle of intellectuals, he's actually got little interest in theory and lacks the imagination and non-linear reasoning abilities of Carnelian. A leader at heart, he looks forward to take over his father as head of law enforcement in Estel, especially after his run-in with the party. He's got no problem making friends with his older classmates, but also keeps in touch with his peer buddies who enjoy playing strategic collectable card games against one another. Naturally, Roy always wins.

[[quoteright:248:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c_1473.png]]An extremely eccentic but brilliant young Harkean whose parents are concerned about his eccentricity and tries a little too hard to "help" him, conversely making him even more fearful of violating social norms. His parents eventually decided to send him to Estel, [[spoiler:believing they have failed him and that he'll be happier there as they'll never be able to connect with him]]. Initially rather insecure about being placed in the same class as the much younger Roy, especially as he tests him intellectually on feats based on raw number-crunching ability and detailed memory, neither being his strong point as he never practices.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ak_2559.png]]A dogmatic and sanctimonious nun who was appointed as almoner to keep her away from the convent for days at a time. Deeply troubled, she believes no-one possibly cares for her, leading to a compulsive need to be noticed and do something special.

[[quoteright:213:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/io_5586.png]]Strone's best friend at the north campus. A warrant officer, one rank above Strone's sergeant. Cool, calm and collected, Ionique is more dedicated to the Academy than her friend and plans to stay there as an officer rather than become a champion.

* StraightMan: She tends to attract all the hotheaded ones ...

* LightningBruiser: Like Strone, is technically fast and strong, but not only lacks constitution, but also stamina.

[[folder:The Nine Gods]]
Named after the nine points of TheEnneagram, the Nine Gods are the nine human motivations personified. They're actually figurative representatives of the enneagram types and were not real people, made up by the {{Precursors}} of the world to convey their teachings in a more understandable way. There are, however, actual stories with them as characters in the Great Book, so tropes still apply to them.
