History Characters / FlightRising

* EverythingsBetterWithLlamas: Longnecks are noted to be good guides not only because of their familiarity with the landscape, but also because the unpredictable weather of the Cloudscrape Crags is extremely dangerous to dragons.

* BalefulPolymorph: Discussed, but never seen in-story or mentioned in the Encyclopedia. Essentially, one tale states they are said to be able to curse other dragons into becoming elderly or turn them into another type of dragon entirely.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Well, for starters, the dinosaurs are entirely too alive. Additionally, Arlo's an archeologist, not a paleontologist, so he shouldn't be looking for dinosaurs at all.

!!Pinkerton
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_353.png]]
->"Hey, traveler. So, my sister over yonder... she's got this collection problem. She keeps clogging our lair with a bunch of useless junk. I'm trying to curb her... 'enthusiasm' by giving away some things behind her back. You want something random?"

The brother of Crim, Pinkerton is another Tundra dragon who can be found at the trading post. In an effort to curb his sister's runaway collection habit, he secretly gives away objects from her hoard at a rate of one per day.

* AlliterativeName: Pinkerton's Plundered Pile.
* DragonHoard: Inverted. He has no hoard of his own and is actively trying to get rid of his sister’s hoard.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Considering he gives out only one object a day while his sister collects up to five per hour, Crim's collection will only increase in size faster than he can get rid of it.

!!Roundsey
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_048.png]]
Roundsey is a Spiral who hosts Roundsey's Raffle Roulette, where you buy raffle tickets for fabulous prizes.

* AlliterativeName: Roundsey's Raffle Roulette
* DragonHoard: Of tickets, to the point that they are stuffing her witch hat. Presumably the rare items she raffles come from her hoard, as well.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Anyone who has tried to replicate her appearance on their own dragon will be quick to tell you that there is no Skink gene that completely matches Roundsey due to her unique stripe colors and the blue fade on her tail - though admittedly that doesn't stop people from using Pistachio Skink to compensate. Also, it'd be wise to not look at her torso for too long or else you'll notice that the space between her arms and legs is much, MUCH longer than in-game Spiral dragons.

!!Swipp, Pipp, and Tripp
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_8649.png]]
Swipp is a Fae who runs a stand where players can trade what would otherwise be useless for rare apparel, familiars, and other objects of worth. Originally he worked alone, but as of October, 2015, his daughters Pipp and Tripp have joined the business.

* TwentyBearAsses: The Broken Arrow, Shattered Sword, and Smashed Shield items required for some of the trades have a chance of dropping from both the basic site mechanics like gathering and familiar bonding, but they're also dropped from enemies in Coliseum.

A plague Ridgeback dragon that runs the Arvelle's Adamant Armaments prize shop for the Warrior's Way event within The Grand Exchange. During the event, players can trade in items or currency in exchange for prizes.

!! The Earthshaker

A plague Ridgeback dragon that runs the prize shop, Arvelle's Adamant Armaments, for the Warrior's Way event. During the event, players can trade in items or currency in exchange for prizes.

!!Baldwin
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_7744.png]]
->"Greetings, apprentice! Some dragons say that alchemy is a science, but I know that it's an art, and that the best art is spontaneous! That's where you come in. This brew is nearing completion, but it needs a little ''something'' to give it an extra kick!"

An old Bogsneak who runs Baldwin's Bubbling Brew, the alchemy lot at the trading post. He takes on players as apprentices to learn the craft. Formerly a Pearlcatcher, he was transformed after a lightning bolt struck his cauldron while he was brewing a potion.

* TwentyBearAsses: Some of Baldwin's recipes require items gained from Coliseum enemies.
* AlchemyIsMagic: Baldwin can render just about anything down into various goos, and from them (with occasional other ingredients) create results that bear little resemblance to the components.
* AlliterativeName: Baldwin's Bubbling Brew.
* MagicCauldron: He uses one for his brews, of course.
* SlowTransformation: Poor Baldwin went through one when lightning struck a potion he was working on, slowly tuning him into a Bogsneak.
* TragicKeepsake It is unknown if Baldwin views his transformation into a Bogsneak as "tragic" but he still has his pearl from when he was a Pearlcatcher. He keeps it on his shelf.

!!Crim
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_8988.png]]
->"I love collecting. Like, '''really love collecting'''. Heh, sometimes I feel like I just can't stop! My brother Pinkerton might tell you it's a sickness, but I like to call it a hobby."

Crim is a Tundra dragon who's main deal is collecting items. What items? Anything and everything! Her requests cycle in groups of five by the hour, but include everything from trash to rare items, familiars, and apparel. She does offer a reward of treasure, though. She has a brother named Pinkerton.

* AlliterativeName: Crim's Collection Cart.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Given the randomized nature of her requests, some items definitely suggest this. There are also [[http://flightrising.tumblr.com/post/53777487979/what-happened-to-pinkertons-left-horn rumors]] that she may have taken Pinkerton's missing horn for her collection.
* DragonHoard: A completely indiscriminate one to the point where it’s likened to a real life hoarding disorder. Pinkerton complains of how badly it's clogged their lair.

!!Edgar, Pearl, and Spitfire
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_2524.png]]
Edgar, Pearl, and Spitfire are courier dragons. They're the ones who deliver items bought from the auction house, gems or treasure earned when other players purchase your auctions, or alert you when one of your auctions has expired. Edgar also appears on the 404 page, while Pearl appears on the page for buying gems.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: He's described to be a "burly Tundra with cropped black-tipped fur" when most of the site art depicts his species with long hair, which are all actually summer coats. However, since the encyclopedia mentions that even summer coats can cause heat exhaustion in hot regions, it's likely a way to keep himself cool against the volcanic heat of The Ashfall Waste.

->"Por, y’can’t be serious! I have a responsibility to ‘im!"
A Tundra dragon who has cropped his fur to survive the volcanic heat of The Ashfall Waste.

* FunetikAksent: He presumably uses the same accent as Haemil due to the same shortening of words "you can't" with "y'can't" and drops the H letter in some words like "him" and "heard".
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: So far, Howle and Haemil are the only dragons with a clear accent even though all dragons except Coatls speak Common Draconic, which begs the question of what dialect they could be possibly using and why other fire dragons don't use it.

A female goldsmith who seems to be a either a friend or interpreter of Archmage Carris, relaying their messages to the Grand Circle of the Forgemasters during a meeting to discuss the newly-discovered magma resource.

A mysterious Pearlcatcher who informed the Forgemasters about the discovery of magically-infused magma, which later culminated into the birth of a new young volcano, Magmablood's Rebuke. There is nothing known about this figure aside from them being a mage with at least one horn sticking out of their hood.

* OhCrap:

* AmbiguouslyEvil: The Sentinel Order itself is supposed to guard the Icewarden and his pillar fragment, though when Solveig is explaining the orders (Sentry, Overseer, then Sentinel), she mysteriously cuts herself off when she gets to Asmund's order even though it's a benign duty. However, given how the Sentinel rank seems to be closed to non-ice Gaolers, it's unknown if the Sentinels have an additional, more sinister duty they're carrying out under his leadership and if it has anything to do with "The Imprisoned".

* AmbiguousSituation: All flights and gods are said to be in a permanent state of war and conquest, but The Earthshaker grieved over the separation of his siblings until he turned into a mountain. So how is the Earth flight waging war with the other flights? Is he a WellIntentionedExtremist trying to force unity together? Or have earth dragons been leading wars without his permission for centuries? Or are they just defending themselves from invaders?

* AmbiguousSituation: Exactly what “trying to stop the heart of Sornieth from overflowing” means is unknown. Interpretations vary widely from The Flamecaller trying to stop an unusually high flow of magma, fighting the same underground threat that The Earthshaker is after, or keeping a FantasticNuke similar to the First Seed from spiraling out of control.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: His domain, the Fortress of Ends, is said to keep dragons – including fellow ice dragons – locked up [[HumanPopsicle and frozen alive]]. Naturally, this has spurned many questions about his morality, and he’s largely seen as a suspicious figure after the revealed existence of The Imprisoned, a being that the Gaolers were appointed to guard but whose identity is kept a secret from outsiders, which then makes one wonder if the captive is actually an innocent being or not.

* AmbiguousSituation: Whether or not he’s an ice dragon. There's a strong implication that he is the same Shade-smelling prisoner who escaped the Gaolers, but because ice dragons like Wemba and Trendal are immune to Gaoler magic, then logically the Gaolers would’ve discovered the immunity issue earlier and thus never questioned Wemba about it. One could argue that he might not be an ice dragon, but then that just raises the question of how he managed to escape if all prisoners are frozen upon take-in.

* AmbiguousSituation: Despite the short explanation of Luminax’s origins, the ultimate question of exactly how many Imperials does it take to fuse into an Emperor has not been answered. Either it really does take a shockingly small amount, such as having three Imperials of different elements to fuse, or if the light head’s implied dead family is to be taken seriously, an entire clan’s worth is required. Both explanations are equally horrifying.

* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: The First Seed’s ability to cover the entire planet in plant life doesn’t sound as nearly as intimidating as The Final Infection’s world-ending plague. Once it got activated, not only did it kill several dinosaur-sized dragons by growing roots and even entire trees through them, but WordOfGod states that it left horrible abominations in its wake ranging from carnivorous plants to toxic spore-releasing flora. Given how these powers were only from a small BioWeapon she created, one can only imagine the level of The Gladekeeper’s true power if caught in a direct battle.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_2654.jpeg]]

* SpringCoil: She's a ''Spiral'' dragon, which are known for their spiral-shaped bodies, so naturally she can curl her tail to fling herself into the air.

!!Unknown Sentry-Warden

* DisproportionateRetribution: He threatens to freeze a frightened Wemba and Trendal and fling them into the gaols of the worst horrorbeasts for lying.

* NativeGuide: While an anthropomorphic llama, Tippa essentially serves the same role since she is a member of the indigenous Longneck clans of the region, her people know how to navigate the dangerous snowy Cloudscrape Crags better than the protagonists, and they work together to cross the mountain range despite the minimal understanding of each other's languages. Whether or not she's a person to be trusted because of the awful war between dragons and Beastclans is actually briefly discussed between Wemba and Trendal, though thankfully she is a peaceful guide.

* AnIcePerson: As the god of ice, naturally, since he tends to hold a very unemotional, analytical personality as eviced by the quote.

* RockMonster: He looks like one.

* BlowYouAway: He is a wind god, after all.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: His domain, the Fortress of Ends, is said to keep dragons – including fellow ice dragons – locked up [[HumanPopsicle and frozen alive]]. Naturally, this has spurned many questions about his morality, and he’s also largely seen as a suspicious figure after the revealed existence of The Imprisoned, a being that the Gaolers were appointed to guard but whose identity is kept a secret from outsiders, which then makes one wonder if the captive is actually an innocent being or not.
* ChainedByFashion: The Icewarden's 2014 festival item is this, leading to some speculation about what, exactly, his Flight gets up to in its long dark winter nights.
* AnIcePerson: As the god of ice, naturally.

* NoIndoorVoice: [[http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/1519008/2 "EMPLOYEES: THIS IS NOT THE APPROPRIATE CHANNEL TO SCHEDULE A PERSONAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW, NOR WILL BRIBES IMPROVE YOUR GRADE. PLEASE SEE HR."]]
* ShockAndAwe: He is the personification of electricity.
* YellowLightningBlueLightning: Blue.

* ArchEnemy: With Plaguebringer.

* ArchEnemy: With Gladekeeper.

* BizarroElements: With the other ten deities representing fairly standard fantasy elements, the Plague flight sticks as the odd man out.

* {{Plaguemaster}}: Obviously. However, unlike most examples of this trope, she isn't a villain.

* WalkingWasteland: Being a PoisonousPerson and all...

* PureMagic: Controls this.

* ElementalEyeColors: Deep blue, a natural fit for a water god.

* ColorCodedElements: Each deity and their particular element is associated with a given color.
* ElementalEyeColors: Like their respective flights, the deities have eye colors that match their elements.

* ColorCodedElements: Brown.

* ElementalEyeColors: He has brown eyes, as does the rest of his flight.

* ColorCodedElements: Orange because of her association with fire.
* ElementalEyeColors: Also orange. See ColorCodedElements above.

* ColorCodedElements: [[WindIsGreen Light green.]]
* ElementalEyeColors: Green for wind.

* ColorCodedElements: Royal blue.

* ColorCodedElements: {{Purple|IsTheNewBlack}}.

* ElementalEyeColors: Purple; Black was not an option as it is commonly associated with the Shade, though some eye types can give a dragon such a deep, dark purple color that they can appear as black sometimes.

* ColorCodedElements: Light blue.
* ElementalEyeColors: Again, light blue.

* ColorCodedElements: Turquoise.

* ElementalEyeColors: Turquoise or cyan, similar to [[YellowLightningBlueLightning blue lightning]].

* ColorCodedElements: Yellow. See ElementalEyeColors below.
* ElementalEyeColors: Light yellow like the sun.

* ColorCodedElements: Green.
* ElementalEyeColors: A vibrant green, again.

* ColorCodedElements: Red.

* ElementalEyeColors: [[RedEyesTakeWarning Red]] to represent the Plague element.

* ColorCodedElements: Pink.
* ElementalEyeColors: Also pink.
