'''Warning:''' Spoilers from ''Autumn in Hieron'' are not hidden.

[[foldercontrol]]
!!Seasons of Hieron
!!!Player Characters
[[folder:Hella Varal]]
The Fighter. An Ordennan mercenary in possession of a supernaturally imbued sword.
----
* BerserkerTears: As she chokes Calhoun three times over, she cries in remorse for what she's doing to her friend.
* TheBigGuy: Hella is without a doubt the heaviest hitter of Boat Party.
** BigGuyFatalitySyndrome: She is also one of the first to be killed, though this does not last.
* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Described as a tall brown lady with red hair.
* TheConqueror: [[spoiler:By the time Winter in Hieron rolls, she is hailed as "Queenkiller", a national hero of the Ordennans.]]
* DealWithTheDevil: When she dies, Tristero comes to her, proposing that she may have a second chance at life if she kills his son in order to force him to take his place as a psychopomp.
* DumbMuscle: Her "evil" alignment means she does not seek to understand most things, but rather to destroy them. She also has a -1 to intelligence.
* HeroicBuild: She's described as being very muscular, tall, and long-limbed, along with a heroic square jaw. To describe Hella as a hero, however, would require heavy bias towards the Ordennan agenda.
* TheKingslayer: Hella slays Queen Adelaide with Ordennan steel, [[spoiler:and becomes a hero to Ordenna for it.]]

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Lem King]]
The Bard. A charming young orc student from the New Archives.
----
* BadassBookworm: While not specialized in combat by any means, he's still stronger and taller than the average player character due to being an orc.
* TheCharmer: He has an ability literally named Charming And Open, which allows him to easily exchange information with non-player characters.
* ConstantlyCurious: He usually has his head on his shoulders more, but upon visiting Nacre and the New Old Museum, this becomes a detrimental part of his personality as he loses track of the big picture. In effect, Lem's greatest flaw is his tendency to become a tourist.
* ForScience: Arriving in Nacre distracts him completely from his original reason for being there, and at once he wants to study its contents and remain there.
* InstrumentOfMurder: While Lem's (stolen) violin isn't inherently any more murderous than any violin, he uses it to trigger pattern magic, with sometimes deadly results.
* LovingAShadow: Since Jack's attachment to Emmanuel mostly comes from out of character discussion, Lem's infatuation is justified as the result of projection. [[spoiler:This does lead to an actual relationship, however.]]
* MindManipulation: In the New Old Museum, [[spoiler:Lem uses pattern magic to turn a guard against his colleague, with a grisly outcome.]]
* AWolfInSheepsClothing: While outwardly sweet much of the time, Lem King has done brutal things for purely selfish reason, and his image has allowed him to evade this mostly without reproach.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Fero Feritas]]
The Druid. A halfling from Rosemerrow, running from a stuffy and backwards-looking society.
----
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Fero has a lot of energy that goes in lots of different directions, therefore he can be one of the party members least attached to the main mission goals.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Fero contains the spirits of the towering mountains, and can communicate with any animal native to his land. [[spoiler: He is also the only person in the party to get close to the alienated gnolls.]]
* ThePigPen: He's described as looking overall rather unkempt.
** MessyHair: This is mentioned specifically as part of his appearance.
* StonersAreFunny: Upon breaking into [[spoiler:the New Old Museum, he stops at one point to smoke weed with Mother Glory and get to know her.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifter: His primary ability as a druid is to change into animals, such as voles or birds.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Hadrian]]
The Paladin. A human soldier of the Order of Eternal Princes, in service to the Creed of Samothes.
----
* CuriosityCausesConversion: While conversion hasn't occurred as of yet, Samot's affable approach of Hadrian has caused him to have doubts about Samothes and to have increasingly confused feelings about Samot.
* DetectEvil: This is among his abilities. An early running gag has been him trying to scan for something precise, and only detecting Hella, with the running gag becoming increasingly sad as he grows close to her and the inevitability of a confrontation becomes clear.
* GoodIsNotNice: Hadrian, while habitually kindhearted, is defined by mercilessness in the face of lawbreakers. His judgement can be rash, and the consequences severe.
* JudgeJuryAndExecutioner: Hadrian cannot suffer an evil creature to live. [[spoiler:This comes across in a particularly chilling way when he breaks Jericho Alum's neck while comforting him.]]
* LoveRedeems: He seems to believe that by remaining a friend to Hella, he can turn her away from her evil ways. All this in spite of the fact that in any other case, he cannot suffer an evil creature to live, which makes this rather an interesting double-edged version of the trope.
* ParentalNeglect: His career takes him far from his family, including his son Benjamin, though he does take steps to ensure their safety.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Great Fantasmo]]
The Wizard. An arrogant scholar from a university which dates to before the Erasure.
----
* BackForTheFinale: Of a sort. [[Spoiler: Although Arrell has died by this point, a recorded version of Fantazmo is summoned to help the party when Samot begins his plot to end the threat of the Heat and the Dark.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: When he speaks to the Word Eater, he talks around a difficult childhood without going into detail, mentioning a crippling fear of the unknown.
* {{Doppelganger}}: [[spoiler:He is the weaker, older version of Arrell he made by casting part of his story outside of himself, to act in his behalf.]]
* GrumpyOldMan: This is especially evident when contrasted with Throndir's effusive affection. His obstinate refusal to call the rest of the party his friends even when it comes naturally to him is the utmost curmudgeonly behavior.
* MagicMisfire: He attempts to cast Charm Person on Samot, but given that he is a god, this doesn't work out well. Fantasmo winds up believing himself to be Samot's old friend.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He has a tendency to disappear while in the heat of battle.
* SwappedRoles: His unseen servant [[spoiler:turns out to have been his creator, who was using him all along.]]

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Throndir]]
The Ranger. A fresh-faced exile from the [[OurElvesAreDifferent snow elf]] settlement of Auniq.
----
* BigEater: He's described as "soft", which is due to him wanting to taste everything wherever he goes.
-->'''Austin:''' So, he looks like can put in a day's work, but like he can also put away these chicken wings?
* TheHeart: He's often mentioned as going with his gut, and having a common sense approach to their obstacles, while being very sweet.
* HeroesLoveDogs: He's followed by a giant, gentle, (but still warlike, at times) mastiff named Kodiak.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: [[spoiler:One of the first things established when he's turned is that Hieron vampires are not maleficent, and in fact, the few of them that we know are confined to the Golden Lance. Later on, it is said that they feed not from blood, but from life and energy expenditure.]]
* SixthRanger: Throndir joins after the initial arc, rounding out Ice Party.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Adaire]]
The Thief. An intelligent and silver-tongued con artist and mapmaker from Velas.
----
* CombatPragmatist: She is described as "soft", and as such, she tends to use practical means of getting out of scuffles alive, notably poison.
* GuileHero: A necessity as a con artist.
* NoHonorAmongThieves: When she shrugs off the fate of Rosemerrow when her intervention fails, Bray poses this accusation:
-->'''Bray Tevilton:''' If you keep walking away, you'll never believe in anything.
* SocialEngineering: Adaire circumlocutes her way into getting what she wants, often trying to offer an apparent compromise that benefits the other.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Ephrim]]
The Immolator. A handsome and condescending Eternal Prince of the Creed of Samothes - in essence, a missionary.
----
* {{Bishonen}}: He's described as perfectly androgynous.
* IceKing: His snooty, condescending air around most people cements him as this, ironically enough.
* MyBloodRunsHot: Due to the fire that runs through him, he needs not worry about the winter that assails Hieron.
** HotBlooded: The figurative counterpart: he's prone to anger, and desire to assert himself.
* PrincelyYoungMan: The encyclopedic picture of a prince, according to Andi.

[[folder: Aubrey]]
The alchemist of the Six. A peaceful and rather meek cobbin woman.
----
* ActualPacifist: She's not inclined to perform any kind of direct violence on people. [[spoiler: This eventually changes, before the last heist.]]
* [[CantHoldHisLiquor Can't Hold Her Liquor]]: She is pretty small, after all.
* GadgeteerGenius: Using the leech playbook, this is one of Aubrey's functions, though she tends more towards the biological threats.
* OurGoblinsOurDifferent: Cobbin is meant to be the more appropriate name for what is referred to in D&D as Kobolds. Here this means something between lizard, human, and dog.

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Castille]]
The only Pala-din known to have discernable sentience, empowered with many strange and unique abilities.
----
* CoatHatMask: To hide her nature, she wears a long skirted long sleeved dress and a summer hat.
* {{Familiar}}: Castille owns a porcelaine cat, which she can inhabit when she needs to.
* LivingStatue: Like all other Pala-din, she's made of marble.
* SenseLossSadness: Sadness isn't quite right. It's more like a wistfulness. But either way, she's known to hold an orange just so she can experience the sense memory of what it might have been like to eat it.

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Hitchcock]]
A pair of rakish brothers, Edmund & Ethan, who teach duelling & dancing above the Six's headquarters.
----
* ConMan: Part of their job description as The Slide.
* DanceBattler: It's brought up that dancing (which Edmund teaches) and duelling (which Ethan teaches) aren't that different. Edmund is certainly this trope, and Ethan likely is too.
* IdenticalTwinMistake: The Hitchcocks frequently make use of this.
* TreasureHunter: Their father allegedly went searching for a map their mother saw in [[spoiler:Maelgwyn's childhood home]]. They pursue the same dream.

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Sige]]
A cutter for the Six, building a boat to leave town forever.
----
* GoodOldFisticuffs: He's got em.
* OneManArmy: Mechanically, he counts as a small gang.
* RichesToRags: His family was rich, but died in the confrontation between Pala-din and Samot's forces. From then on, he worked in factories as a child until he was big enough to follow another pass.
* WouldntHurtAChild: This is one of his beliefs, though it never really comes up in play.

!!!Player Characters
[[folder: AuDy]]
a robot valet gone sapient and turned pilot, played by Jack de Quidt
----
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Jack conceived AuDy as a direct counterpoint to Lem King's usual modus operandi of getting through a crisis by talking — AuDy speaks little, and when they do they often make things worse.
* JustAMachine: Sapient robots are still rare, so AuDy still has to deal with this attitude at times.
* TomatoInAMirror: AuDy is [[spoiler: two connected Contagious A.I. Divines, Liberty & Discovery, inhabiting an Automated Dynamics frame.]]

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Aria Joie]]

a semi-exiled prince of the Apostolosian Empire, played by Art Tebbel
----

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Mako Trig]]
a laid back stratus (psychic with the power to hack into technology), played by Keith J Carberry
----
* CloningBlues: Related to how he got his Stratus powers [[spoiler: as he is a clone experiment at the September Institute, and not the first or only Mako Trig]].
* CyberSpace: Mako's psychic hacking works like this.
* FlatCharacter: Austin notes in the postmortem for Season 2 that Keith didn't have much fine detail conceived for Mako's backstory compared to Art and Ali's more extensive off-mic discussions of what life was like for Cass and Aria before the Chime was formed. [[spoiler: This contributed to the revelation that Mako doesn't actually have a past on September.]]
* NeverLiveItDown: Both in-character and for Keith the player, when Mako bought several construction mechs by taking a huge loan in his real name. He makes use of them in the finale in a ridiculous way.
* RefugeInAudacity: Mako's plans often have an element of this, like when he infiltrates a corporation by pretending to be a representative of another company buying construction robots in bulk and then actually buys the robots, going massively into debt.
* TomatoInTheMirror: Mako is [[spoiler: the latest in a series of clones.]]
* VirtualGhost: Mako gets one in the form of Larry, a security routine who he successfully bamboozled.

!!!Player Characters
[[folder: Signet]]
the former Excerpt (pilot) of the Divine Belgard, who caused the latter's death by deserting it at a critical moment. Played by Janine Hawkins.

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Tender Sky]]
a Cat Girl former Mesh architect who was disgraced after becoming involved in the death of the Divine Anticipation. Played by Ali Acampora
----

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Fourteen Fifteen]]

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Echo Reverie]]
a Badass Normal petty criminal with no cybernetics or connection to the Mesh. Played by Sylvia Clare.
----
* HandicappedBadass: In the world of the Divine Fleet, not being able to connect with the Mesh severely limits one's ability to interact with society. Such individuals are well-cared for, and usually it is easily solved. However, Echo hails from a culture who resists cybernetic implants for religious reasons.

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Gig Kep-hart]]
an occupational safety vlogger. Played by Keith J Carberry.
----
* BrandishmentBluff: Gig at one point interrogates a hitman with the threat of a "thermal detonator" that happens to pop out of his head.
* ElectronicEyes: Gig's equipment includes a cybernetic eye that can pop out and fly around. He and Surge don't get why the rest of the ground party think it's weird.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: Duck, who Gig found at a mysterious facility on Quire and whose notable features include a prodigious appetite, limited speech, a prehensile mane, and the approximate proportions of a pennyfarthing bicycle.

* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: His motivation in Futura Free.
* TimeyWimeyBall: The Miracle of the Mirage has caused time to progress more quickly or more slowly depending on where you are, even on the same planet. For Grand Magnificent, the guilt stemming from his actions in the Follow game caused him to experience a longer period of time than everyone else.

!!PARTIZAN
!!!Player Characters
[[folder: Clementine Kesh]]
a spoilt Kesh princess sixth in line for succession with dreams of conquest beyond her station, played by Jack de Quidt
----
* AbusiveParents: Clem is a terrible person. Her mother Chrysanth? An even worse person, and a large part of why Clem is the way that she is.
* AmbitionIsEvil: She's less evil and more thoroughly entrenched in the system, but she aspires to the throne of Kesh.
* TakingYouWithMe: In her final confrontation with [[spoiler: Gur Sevraq, she pulls him down with her after he pushes her off of Fort Icebreaker]].

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Exeter Leap]]
An infamous cyborg pirate/bank robber looking for a chance to escape, played by Keith Carberry
----
* Cyborg: He is an Equiaxed, a culture of synthetic beings who have spliced in organic material to their bodies. To that end, Leap as "80% of a digestive system" along with a human tongue.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Of a sort. He semi-retires in game mechanics at the end of the Kingdom game when Keith swaps to playing a new character.
* KleptomaniacHero: Leap goes straight to picking up anything that could be of value in the [[spoiler: wreckage of the Divine Past]].

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Kal'Mera Broun]]
An Apostolosian "arms innovator" just trying to make a buck in desperate times, played by Ali Acampora
----
* NotInThisForYourRevolution
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Whether it's scurrying off after having finished the job and leave the Oxblood to their fate or jockeying for a reward for helping the Sable Court, Kal'Mera Broun is the embodiment of this trope.

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Valence]]
A mysterious empath from a culture unknown to the Principality, scouting ahead and collecting information for their people, played by Andrew Lee Swan
----
* TheEmpath:
* MaskPower: Valence wears a wolf mask that completely covers their face. It's also quite expressive, in-fiction. Its ear is replaced with a magical (?) stone as payment for the second SBBR mission, which lets them project their visions.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Valence's weird empathetic gifts seem to be guided by using mundane objects like a book and scrying tools.
* NonHumanNonBinary
