History Characters / Paranatural

* {{Foreshadowing}}: He has a sewed-over scar mark on the back of his hand/body. [[spoiler:Cody reveals a near-similar scar mark over his own chest, revealing it's a sign of his father's [[AbsurdlySharpBlade sword's power:]] the ability to cut anything in two, from colours, to concepts, in Cody's case being used to separate [[BeatStillMyHeart his heart]], presumed to be his one mortal weakness, from his body without killing him. Along with their same-coloured spiritual energies, this all but confirms that Lefty is the severed hand of Davy Jones himself, and raises further questions over his relationship with [[{{Protectorate}} PJ]].

* TeamNormal: She's the only known non-spectral aware of spectral activities. She can't see or hear the spirit world, but she has a haunted ladle that she uses to smack her father in-law.

* HippieParent: He seems to be one, if more focused and driven, with his spiritualism and seemingly calm laid-back attitude.

--> '''Mr. Puckett:''' Ride my child, to the top of the hill... TO YOUR EDUCATION!!\\

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He pushes Isabel quite hard in his dojo, prefers his other students to her and has no small amount of harsh words for her [[spoiler: when she loses Eightfold, not even bothering to listen to her explanation on the matter]]. He also considers the Ghost Train to be in better hands with one of his students instead of the one who actually tamed it, Doctor Zarei, and actually seems willing to fight over its ownership. On the other hand, he houses Ed without too much complaint, and [[spoiler: he grants Isabel a new spirit the morning after she loses Eightfold]].
** At least partially [[JerkWithaHeartofJerk subverted]]: [[spoiler: Flipflop later reveals that Francisco believed he was a worthless spirit that would force Isabel to stop relying on tools.]]

* SecretSecretKeeper: {{Subverted}}. Francisco has somehow managed to learn that [[spoiler:Boss Leader is not a human trapped in a permanent coma because of her spirit, but a construct that the spirit itself uses to pretend to be human]]. Despite being aware of this, Francisco has not widely spread the knowledge around, implied to be partially because [[spoiler:Boss leader can [[LaserGuidedAmnesia selectively erase memories of others]], and has done so prior to protect herself]], so Francisco doesn't want to tip his hand to them. However, he ''is'' willing to use the DarkSecret as an AwfulTruth to convince a select few he deems worthy to join his Dojo, steadily amassing loyal students this way [[spoiler:implied to be in preparation for openly combatting the Consortium in the future]]. At least Scabs and Crush were recruited this way.

* AlmightyJanitor: Her day job is a perfectly mundane waitress gig, but she [[spoiler: has white spectral energy, which is not natural to spectrals and marks her as somehow connected to a Wight, either being a medium for one or using the Wight Polaris to switch her potentially black energy color to white]].

--> '''Max''': [[http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-2-page-8 Oh, my. Them's tendons.]]

* BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler:He gets turned into a trophy, thus defeating him. To add insult to injury, it's a trophy for third place.]]

* BumblingDad: A played down version; most of the bumbling comes from the fact that he's a giant Cloudcuckoolander.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: It's revealed in Chapter 8 that he died when a meteor struck his house in the middle of the night, causing it to explode with him and his family inside. [[spoiler:It's implied this might not actually be the case, and there's more to the story that what PJ knows, especially since his guardian Lefty is gal bu confirmed to be the spectral hand of Davy Jones and shows concern for PJ's wellbeing. Given Davy's OverprotectiveDad traits towards his son Cody and Lefy's similar protectiveness, it's implied that PJ's death may have had a hand in affecting Davy to such a degree]].

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: It's revealed in Chapter 8 that he died when a meteor struck his house in the middle of the night, causing it to explode with him and his family inside. [[spoiler:It's implied this might not actually be the case, and there's more to the story that what PJ knows, especially since his guardian Lefty is greatly implied to be the spectral hand of Davy Jones and shows concern for PJ's wellbeing]].

* DumbMuscle: Acts like a stereotypical jock. Apparently he keeps forgetting that he's a ghost.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: It's revealed in Chapter 8 that he died when a meteor struck his house in the middle of the night, causing it to explode with him and his family inside.

* InTheBack: [[spoiler:He gets sniped from behind by a hidden Spectral.]]

!!Other Assorted Characters

[[folder:DJ Mothman and Professor Bigfoot]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_fever___full_poster_ch6pg3_v2.png]]

A pair of conspiracy theorist radio announcers, who run the radio channel called ''"The Fever"''.

* ConspiracyTheorist: They believe in conspiracy theories and talk about them on their radio station. Professor Bigfoot refers to ''Series/TheXFiles'' as a documentary series.
* {{Foil}}: The wacky large ham DJ Mothman and the calm, eloquent Professor Bigfoot.
* LargeHamRadio: DJ Mothman is the loud and hammy brand of radio announcer.
-->'''DJ Mothman:''' I'll be your server with the REAL updates, the DL patching holes in the TRUTH, your mixed metaphor mixmaster maitre'd, DJ MOTHMAAAAAAAAN!!
* OppositesAttract: The wacky, over-the-top goofball definitely has a thing for the calm, eloquent professor, who isn't averse to giving him another shot.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Professor Bigfoot's radio persona is a bookish intellectual, from the "Professor" title to the sweater vest and tie to the glasses he wears.
* StraightGay: They had some romantic involvement in the past (Mothman doesn't seem to be over it) and they don't fit any particular gay or bisexual stereotypes.
* WorkingWithTheEx: They used to have a closer relationship than just co-workers. Professor Bigfoot, via subtext, calls their past romance an "unforgettable experience" in the moment, but one that didn't stick with him long-term.

[[folder:Miss Price]]

A rich local who lost her dog.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paranatural_crush.png]]

A ghost who's one of Francisco Guerra's disciples.

* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Acts like a BigBrotherBully to the much physically weaker Ed and spends much of his fight against Ape boasting and taunting.
* BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler:He gets turned into a trophy, thus defeating him. To add insult to injury, it's a trophy for third place.]]
* BarrierWarrior: Capable of 'spectral tempering', a technique that allows him to form his spectral energy as armor around his body. This both protects him from attacks and augments his own.
* DumbMuscle: Acts like a stereotypical jock. Apparently he keeps forgetting that he's a ghost.
* FogFeet: Since he's dead, his lower half is wispy. That said, he can shape his spectral energy to substitute his lower half so he can still kick.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Of course, as a martial artist.
* InTheBack: [[spoiler:He gets sniped from behind by a hidden Spectral.]]
* PurpleIsPowerful: His spectral energy is magenta-purple and he's a competent fighter, capable of advanced techniques like 'spectral tempering'.
