History Characters / DiceCameraAction

* MakeMeWannaShout: His SignatureMove is Thunderwave.

* EvilIsSexy: Diath and Paultin are explicitly stated as dressing more provocatively than their good counterparts, and Evil Diath is stated as being more attractive since he didn't suffer the Death Curse and thus have all his old wounds raised as scars, albeit around 10 years older. Averted by Evil Strix, who somehow cares ''even less'' about her appearance and hygiene than Good Strix.

* BladeOnAStick: Her main weapon is a spear.

* BecomeARealBoy: [[spoiler: Exactly what happens to him in episode 121]].

* PinocchioSyndrome: It was revealed eventually that [[spoiler: Simon wanted to become a real boy. He eventually got that wish.]]

* AnAxeToGrind: Lightbringer and Treebane, her axes.

* TurtlePower: Or Tortle, as they're known InUniverse.

* KnifeNut: Knives are his chosen weapon, especially thrown.

* NiceHat: Subverted as her witch hat is, like everything else she wears, on the ratty side.

* LethallyStupid: Much of the humor around the Eggo crew is squiddly doing something stupid enough to get himself or someone else killed. Turned UpToEleven when Paultin gets a gun.

* LargeHam: Matthew doesn't appear to have a setting lower than [[UpToEleven eleven]] while playing this guy.

* DynamicCharacter: Starts out as an emotionally dead drunk bard and gradually learns to love his friends and family, even adopting a son and opening up about his DarkAndTroubledPast.

* AmbiguouslyBi: She canonically has a crush on Paultin but she has at least a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship going on with Dee and seemed to be cultivating the same sort of thing with Ireena. She also literally [[{{Squee}} squees]] when she is saved from drowning by the kiss of a beautiful mermaid.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Dee whenever they're together and later with Miranda [[spoiler: until the latter's FaceHeelTurn]]

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Evelyn. ''They snuggle.''

%%* FanNickname: Trash Witch

* CrusadingWidower: [[spoiler: As it turns out, Paultin actually had a wife for two years [[StuffedIntoTheFridge only for her to have been brutally slaughtered]] by someone Paultin made enemies with.]] Suddenly, not immediately responding to Evelyn's romantic approaches makes a lot of sense.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: It took Chris a few sessions to finally pronounce [="EEEvelyn"=] properly.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: Where as Good!Evelyn pronounces her name "EVIL-ihn", Evelyn of Shar pronounces her name "EH-vel-ehn".

* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Goes through ceremorphesis[[note]]The process through which Illithids (mindflayers) reproduce, involving infecting the victim with a slug-like creature that spends weeks or months transforming the victim into a new mindflayer.[[/note]] and turns into a huge mindflayer. The Waffle Crew is forced to battle and ultimately kill him in his new form. It turns out he was infected before the Crew ever met him.]]

* OurElvesAreBetter: Is a Drow, which is basically a Dark Elf.

** This applies to people too.

* EasilyImpressed

* GoodCannotComprehendEvil

* HonorBeforeReason

** (kicks open door) "HELLO FRIEND OR FOE!"

* TheAlcoholic: Any time there's wine he can be found drinking it and tends to get depressed when there's none available. Has been used as an in-game excuse for being incapable when Nathan is missing.
** It’s clearly triggered by stressful situations and trauma as there was several episodes that he seemed to be getting better only to be brought right back down.

* CallousnessTowardsEmergency:
** "Oh no... my bride."

** "Wow, you are a desensitized youth."

* [[spoiler: CrusadingWidower]]: [[spoiler: As it turns out, Paultin actually had a wife for two years [[StuffedIntoTheFridge only for her to have been brutally slaughtered]] by someone Paultin made enemies with.]] Suddenly, not immediately responding to Evelyn's romantic approaches makes a lot of sense.

-->'''Strix''': So, [[SignatureMove I will Misty Step to a high spot and I will Fireball them]].
-->'''Omin''': Do you do that completely without warning? [[UnfriendlyFire Are your friends occasionally near you?]]
-->'''Strix''': But I can be careful. I can make it go around them.
-->'''Jim''': That's not possible, no. It can't be done!
-->'''Strix''': [[CatchPhrase I know magic!]]
-->'''Jim''': [[BlatantLies It's a foundational element of the Fireball spell]]. It can't be diverted in any way.

* LargeHam: A cranky contentious one but yes.

* ThePigpen: There's no sign that she has ever voluntarily cleaned either her self or her robes.
** Subverted in the live episode where the crew cosplays as their characters and we see that if she ever [[SheCleansUpNicely practiced some basic hygiene Strix would definitely be a looker]].

* SingleTargetSexuality: Holly [[WordOfGod originally confirmed]] that Strix was asexual and aromantic. However, when she was [[spoiler: in Barovia for 50 years,]] [[spoiler: she started to feel a heavy pain when she was making the doll of Diath, and had a nightmare of the real Diath (while everyone else in the dream were dolls) asking why she ran away, [[LoveEpiphany leading her to make a promise never to run for his sake.]]]] Since then, Holly updated that Strix is no longer aromantic, and Strix's behavior towards [[spoiler: Diath]] changes a little due to these new feelings. She's still extremely unfomfortable around any other possibly romantic gestures from other characters, however.

* NotAllowedToGrowOld
* NotAllowedToGrowUp

* TagalongKid

* NakedOnArrival / NakedPeopleAreFunny: When he turns into a raven his clothes all fall off of him into a heap on the floor instead of being absorbed into him. Since his animal form is so handy for travel and reconnaissance, he always appears naked as a human and most of his time human is spent looking for something to wear. Much hay is made of this by the GM, the other players and Chris himself.

* [[spoiler: AndThenJohnWasAZombie]]

* [[spoiler: FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: though at any point Strahd could order her to turn on them.]]
* GypsyCurse: [[spoiler: with her dying breath]] she attempts to put one on Strahd.

* TurtlePower: Or Tortle, as they're known in-universe.

* [[spoiler: FaceHeelTurn]]: During episode 84 [[spoiler: she takes advantage of a stop time spell cast by Strix's artifact to steal the Ring of Winter, then makes a deal with Paultin's Shadar Kai allies to get away from the fight by accepting their offer to [[FacialHorror cut her face off]]. (turns out they were joking) Arguably a case of [[BrainWashed brainwashing]] due to the ring's malevolent nature.]]
** [[spoiler: Subverted in episode 126 where it is revealed Miranda has spent months researching how to destroy the ring.]]

--> ''Diath misses a dagger throw''
--> '''Magnus:''' You tried, and I'm proud of you!
--> '''Diath:''' Thank you, [[VerbalBackspace fath-... Magnus!]]
--> '''Strix:''' We all heard that.

* [[spoiler: LesYay]]: Miranda created Gwyneth with the Ring of Winter to keep her company and added her own magic to give Gwyneth sentience. [[spoiler: The two fall in love and Miranda is torn because destroying the ring will destroy Gwyneth.]]

* BigBad: During the "Curse of Strahd" arc.
* ClassicalMovieVampire

* {{Expy}}: Of Dracula.

* ReturningBigBad: Several times.
* WickedCultured: As expected from a Dracula expy.

* TheDragon: To Strahd
* BattleButler: Well, Chamberlin. Close enough.

* StraightGay: More obvious than Falkon but still qualifies.
* UnwittingPawn: To Paultin every time they see each other Paultin uses him.

* HunterOfMonsters

* VampireHunter

* TeamPet

* RedemptionPromotion: Inverted, The Waffle Kids find a portal to an alternate reality which is ruled by a triumverate that includes Evelyn of Shar.
* SexierAlterEgo: Evil Diath.

* AccidentalMisnaming: Does this to both Paultin (Pippin) and Diath (Ding-Dong). Diath is not a fan.
** Made even funnier later on when the Crew have to hide their identities and Evelyn comes up with fake names for everyone. [[InsultOfEndearment Guess what name Diath gets introduced with?]]

--> '''Magnus:''' How do you shower?
--> '''Noska:''' I don't!

* [[spoiler: KilledOffscreen: The Xanathar decided to tear Noska's head off his body after his betrayal. His corpse was sent to the Waffle Crew to send a message.]]

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: His pet fish.

* LeaveNoSurvivors: His intention when he went after the Vistani that got his son killed. [[spoilers: He let Paultin survive because he was so young, however.]]

* StalkerWithACrush: On Paultin.

* HazyFeelTurn: He might have become '''less''' evil after losing his arm and come over to the Waffle Crew
s side (except for Diath)but he never really becomes good and certainly not nice.

* ArmAndALeg: Is missing his demon arm when he reappears in Season 3

* LuxuriousLiquor: Technically he's drinking blood, but there this is the only reason Strahd has a wine glass.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler: Strahd was in love with his brother's fiancee and seems to have a genuine love for Paultin due to their biological relation. Even offering him a place at his side after Paultin's friend kills Ireena.]] The Vistani as a whole are precious to him because they saved his life in the past.]]

* Cloudcuckoolander

* IndyPloy: In Episode 73 he admits this as his fo-to strategy, much to Evelyn's shock who thought he was TheStrategist.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: His hair was originally blonde, but as the Ring of Winter took hold of him and began to [[spoiler: corrupt him into the Dark Lord of his own Barovia-like Realm]] it turned black. It remained black even after Paultin was rescued and redeemed by the rest of the Crew.
