History Characters / Roommates

The Webcomic ''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' has LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters and cameos (more than 100)... this list is far from complete, and still had to be split to multiple pages. Also these pages can be quite '''spoilerific'''.

* [[Characters/RoommatesVisitors Visitors or people not living in the town]]
* [[Characters/RoommatesMagicalCommunity The magical community]]

* [[Characters/RoommatesTheManyFacesOf The Many Faces of... various characters]] (As thanks to the ensuing shenanigans there are several versions of some.)

* [[Characters/RoommatesTownsfolk Townsfolk of the unnnamed university town]]

* [[Characters/RoommatesTheManyFacesOf The Many Faces of... various characters]]

* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: His [[InterspeciesRomance romance]] with [[{{Unicorn}} Amalthea]] is a touchy subject.

'''[[Film/{{Labyrinth}} Toby (Tobias Williams)]]'''\\
(Sarah's little brother)

* [[TheFairFolk Fae]] [[WeirdnessMagnet Magnet]]: [[spoiler:His ChangelingTale was subverted, because he got "saved". But is there any other child in fiction who almost got taken by TheFairFolk twice?]]
* SoapOperaRapidAgingSyndrome: He is inexplicably five or so years older than in his movie was (probably so he can get into trouble all on his own now).

[[caption-width-right:250:[-It's not easy to be James' mother.-] ]]
'''Mrs. Norrington'''\\
(James' mother)

* ArrangedMarriage: Her first marriage was this kind.
* CoolOldLady: Flirts with [[spoiler:FairFolk]], gives [[IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer candle talks]], knows all and dares all! And still can appear as the proper Irish lady.
* CovertPervert: Just read her Shovel Talk (mostly the part about the young couple's ''activities'' [[TooMuchInformation she doesn't want to know about]], but in her opinion doubtless exist), or check the 2011 [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Holiday-Special-2011-Mistletoe-Mischief-274888441 holiday special]] even if [[LecherousLicking her unique take]] on UnderTheMistletoe kiss has some distinct [[TheGadfly trolling]] vibes. Yes. It seems like this runs in the family.
* FunctionalGenreSavvy: She deduced Mr. King's ''[[TheFairFolk nationality]]'' just through {{Genre Savvy}}ness. (OK. Being [[{{Oireland}} Irish]] and knowing a bit about CelticMythology probably also helped).
** She also knows just what weapon to give Eponine before the girl enters the Underground: a ColdIron nail, which Mrs. N knows will stop any fae attacking her son's girlfriend quite easily.
* TheGadfly: She has [[ItAmusedMe a lot of fun]] messing with people. (Ashe outright calls her a {{Troll}})
* InSeriesNickname: She is Mrs. N. for the courageous.
* InterspeciesRomance: Bordering on DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu or DivineDate, depending on what we think about the guy's [[spoiler:(The Erlkönig)]] Eldrichness or Divineness and if we think about ''[[NightmareFuel/{{Roommates}} where]]'' he is featured.
* NonhumanLoverReveal: Subverted. [[spoiler:Lord King]] didn't intend to reveal himself, but she figured out the guy quickly, and decided to go with the flow... basically trolling him back.
* OCStandIn: The other characters [[LampshadeHanging react with]] [[ComicalOverreacting shock and pity]] when they find out.
* OpenMindedParent: Much more so than her son expected. [[spoiler:She [[BreakingTheFourthWall watched]] [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean his movies]], amongst other things.]]
* PrimAndProperBun: She wears her hair in one accentuating her ProperLady image.
* SilkHidingSteel: She looks and acts like a ProperLady but she is much more daring, witty and aware than most people would think (this includes the guy... man... person she flirts with).

'''Agent PhilCoulson'''\\
([[WordOfSaintPaul Word of Pika]] that he is [[spoiler:Sarah's]] uncle. Also goes to the "Killed for Canon" meetings.)

* BadassInANiceSuit / BadassNormal: Now joining a weird WorldOfBadass.
* GenreSavvy: His [[TakeThat thoughts]] on being canonically dead: "I should have figured. [[Creator/JossWhedon Whedon]] [[TrollingCreator does like to break his toys]]."
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Even being canonically dead didn't break his fan behavior... or could part him from his Captain America trading card collection.

'''[[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Admiral Lawrence Norrington]]'''\\
(James' father)

* AbusiveParents: He is ''still'' the bane of his son's existence and source of most of his emotional problems. He told James in ''{{canon}}'' that he should better have drowned than be saved by a pirate.
* PosthumousCharacter: The guy is '''dead'''. In a comic where NobodyCanDie.

This is the airline... umm... airdot they took to get to Italy in the ''Third Vacation Arc''. Yes. All are from Radio/CabinPressure.

* TheFaceless: All of them. This is a deliberate style choice to stress that these characters are from ''radio'', so because of the limitations of their original medium were TheVoice.

'''[[Radio/CabinPressure Arthur Shapey]]'''

* ChangelingTale: Apparently his dad tried to wish him away to Jareth.
* WallOfBlather: He flooded a whole panel with it.

'''[[Radio/CabinPressure Douglas Richardson]]'''

* ActorAllusion / HeyItsThatVoice: The characters in universe have this reaction to him, and conclude "It's Creator/RogerAllam!". (The guy even played Javert at one point. Yeah. No CelebrityParadox around there.)

'''[[Radio/CabinPressure Carolyn Knapp-Shapey]]'''

* NeverMessWithGranny: Jareth(!) is afraid of her, she subverted the ChangelingTale mentioned earlier.

!''The Magical Community:''

All the characters who can be considered TheMiddleFolk and don't fit in earlier categories. (So magic but not HeavenAndHell. Basically TheFairFolk & The WitchSpecies).

[[caption-width-right:250:[-An ice-cold [[WitchWithACapitalB B...um...Witch]]!-] ]]
'''[[TheChroniclesOfNarnia Jadis The White Witch]]'''\\
[[spoiler:(Jareth's mother)]] Her court is Winter. No specialties are known yet but probably quite literally. In the [[SnowMeansDeath snow]], ice, [[EvilIsDeathlyCold merciless cold]] and [[LightIsNotGood blinding whiteness]] kinda way.

* AffectionateNickname: Can you believe that she has one?! [[spoiler:Because her ex-husband calls her ''[[Funny/{{Roommates}} my Snowflake]]''!]]
* BerserkButton: Mentioning the fact that she was defeated by children is ''not'' wise.
* [[spoiler:BigBad: In ''Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On''.]]
* CardCarryingVillain: She is evil, knows she is evil and [[EvilCannotComprehendGood doesn't see any use in love or anything like it]]... she sees his ex's attempts to give their son more normal motivations as [[LoveIsAWeakness weakness]]. If there is Evil [[WithACapitalT with a capital E]] around here she is it.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Why is this [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove love thing]] so important for her son anyway?
* EvilMatriarch: No wonder her son would do a whole lot to keep her away.
* AnIcePerson: [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-211-Bundled-271356167 Her son knows]].
* KnightOfCerebus: Not strictly a villain (even if she ''is'' the evilest character here) because the series is quite blurry on the concept but her (and her ex's) arrival marked the beginning of a lot darker stories.
* MightMakesRight: She believes this with all her heart... if she has one.
* WinterRoyalLady: As literally as it gets.
* WitchWithACapitalB: This insult is pretty much reserved for her. [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-133-Forsaken-184751515 Here]] it's the very first thing her ex says to her and also the first thing he says in the comic.

'''[[Literature/TheErlKing The Erlkönig]]'''\\
[[spoiler:(Jareth's father)]] His court specialites are [[TheLostWoods deep]] [[WildWilderness forets]] and ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight, he is also [[DarkIsNotEvil Summer]].

* AmbiguousSyntax: [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-Such-Stuff-as-Dreams-Are-Made-On-2-288145205 "My son and the girl he has chosen are both in residence"]] (in the building... he doesn't say in the same apartment, or that they are together...). And the [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-Such-Stuff-as-Dreams-Are-Made-On-2-288145205 "gift of mortality???"]]
* BadassCape: [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-Mist-and-Madness-217138534 See]] this is his trademark clothing. Can also turn {{Pimped Out|Cape}} and {{Impossibly Cool|Clothes}} if he wants it so (it will look like the night sky and defy gravity).
* TheBeastmaster: All of his minions seen to date were magical / shadow / animal / spirit things. [[spoiler:He can definitely use them as {{Animal Eye Spy}}s and he even [[BondCreatures lent their power to the cast]] in ''Such Stuff as Dreams Are Made On''.]]
* [[spoiler:BigBad / TricksterMentor: He was one of these in ''Such Stuff as Dreams Are Made On''... Not perfectly clear which but TricksterMentor is a bit more likely.]]
* BorrowedCatchphrase: He pretty much stole Jareth's "Such a pity.".
* CastingAShadow: He seems to possess the same shadow manipulating power his son does and more, as even some of his not directly darkness related magic works through this element. For example he can use shadows like a [[TeleportersAndTransporters transporter network]]. He also likes to invoke EmergingFromTheShadows.
* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:Finally awarded for his outstanding performance of XanatosSpeedChess in ''Such Stuff as Dreams Are Made On''.]] He plans for long and manipulates for fun and profit. He even has MagnificentBastard on YMMV.
* CreepyAwesome: He is on both the [[NightmareFuel/{{Roommates}} Nightmare Fuel]] (even his son calls him this in-universe) ''and'' the [[Heartwarming/{{Roommates}} Heartwarming]] subpage and also inspires a fair amount of {{Squee}} every time he appears.
* CrownOfHorns: He wears an (impossibly AwesomeButImpractical looking) antler crown.
* CrypticConversation: Likes to do this, just add his AmbiguousSyntax, love of the RuleOfSymbolism and being a FourthWallObserver and you will get the idea. Weirdly he is quite sincere and straightforward just cracking the ''code'' he is speaking isn't that easy.
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:For Jareth]] and in his defense, he was banished by Jadis with [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath THE monologue]].
* DreamWeaver: We didn't see much of his magic yet, but he can do this with high proficiency. [[spoiler:On perfect YourMindMakesItReal level, if you die in one of his {{Dream Land}}s he [[TheGrimReaper can even]] [[YourSoulIsMine claim your soul]].]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Even his own son isn't calling him anything else than the ''Erlkönig''.
* EvilParentsWantGoodKids: Not outright evil just [[BlueAndOrangeMorality morally challenged]], but he certainly tried to give his son more normal dreams and ambitions. But sadly his wife's idea of the perfect child was OverlordJr (and she [[SolomonDivorce won custody]]). [[spoiler:He still has [[XanatosSpeedChess a lot to do]] with the fact that for a member of TheFairFolk Jareth is [[ReluctantMonster positively cuddly]].]] See also IntriguedByHumanity and try not to think too hard about it.
* TheFairFolk: Well, we are talking about an old-school [[TheFairFolk fae]] from the time before {{Disneyfication}} that's for sure, but the same time he seems to have some [[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch interesting ideas]] concerning the importance of [[ThePowerOfLove some]] [[ThePowerOfFriendship human]] values (he freely admits that he [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove doesn't really know what love is]] but he can identify {{Power}} when he sees it).
* FemmeFatalons: In his fae form at least.
* FourthWallObserver: He seems to be almost as aware as the GO guys and is also DangerouslyGenreSavvy. He won't underestimate ThePowerOfLove but build on it!
* GlamourFailure: He has (slightly) pointy ears even in his human disguise, it's unknown if this is an actual failure an accident or he thought he looks cooler this way. (From his ringtone being ''Figlio Perduto'' probably the later.)
* TheGrimReaper / {{Psychopomp}}: He is A[[note]]There are several running around in the comic[[/note]] "Death Avatar".
* IntriguedByHumanity: It's maybe even a a [[DownplayedTrope mildcase]] of the TakeAThirdOption variety PinocchioSyndrome. As FourthWallObserver he sees pretty well what kind of fate ([[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin they]] [[EvilWillFail lose]]) his kind is doomed to because of their [[MightMakesRight oldschool]] [[AllTakeAndNoGive mentality]] and MostWritersAreHuman so he seems to be highly interested in humanity to find a way to change this (like getting access to the PowerOfLove and [[PowerOfFriendship Friendship]])... being extremely long lived, patient and alien this means no good for anybody in his way. See also EvilParentsWantGoodKids and shudder.
* InvisibleToNormals / InvisibleToAdults: The only adult characters who can see him if he doesn't want to be seen are the ones with TrueSight.
* KnightOfCerebus: Not strictly a villain because he doesn't have the outright malice for it and also the series is quite blurry on the concept but his (and his ex's) arrival marked the beginning of a lot darker stories.
* LargeHam: He is really over-dramatic and over-poetic but also kinda brooding and {{angst}}y at times (when he isn't being [[TallDarkAndSnarky Tall, Blond And Snarky]]). Also ChewingTheScenery is one of his favorite pastimes.
* LimitedWardrobe: Something he and his son doesn't have in common. He was seen in grand total of two (2) different outfits (his [[TwentyFourHourArmor fae armor]] and a [[AwesomeAnachronisticApparel "suit" that was probably fashionable around the 17th or 18th century]]).
* MasterOfOneMagic: He manipulates [[CastingAShadow dark]], [[DreamWeaver intangible]] and [[MasterOfIllusion deceitful]] forces in many ingenious ways, but things like WhiteMagic are outside of his domain.
* MonochromaticEyes: Dark Blue ones. At least according to the color illustrations of him.
* PapaWolf: Hurt his children and you're dead. Or [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment wish you were]].
* PowerCrystal: And even natural looking. This seems to be his equivalent of Jareth's CrystalBall so the MadeOfMagic physical representation of his spells.
* PublicDomainCharacter: Well he is from an oooold poem based on even older legends.
* PurpleIsPowerful / SupernaturalIsPurple: Purple is his second favorite color after (light) blue.
* RomancingTheWidow: He does. [[spoiler:James' mother.]] Appearently he prefers [[LikesOlderWomen older]] [[MarsNeedsWomen mortal]] women (more or less).
* SerialSpouse: It's implied that he had several exes in the course of his life. It's certain that he has two children from two different former relationships.
* TheShadowKnows: According to [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-Twilight-Waltz-308908496 this]] his glamour can slip this way.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler:He and his son [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} Jareth]] (even more so in his [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Dark]] form). They look alike, dress alike (PaintedOnPants / VillainousFashionSense), have similar modus operandi and even share a CatchPhrase or two... but no HereditaryHairstyle (Jareth has EightiesHair).]]
* SueDonym: Example bordering on LouisCypher with a dash of MrSmith. He uses the name ''[[SueDonym Lord Errol King]]'' or ''[[MrSmith Mr. King]]'' for short in his human disguise.
* TheTease: A rare heterosexual male example, as many readers put it the guy is a "bloody flirt"!
* [[TranslatorMicrobes Translator Spell]]: [[WordOfGod Word of Ashe]] that he doesn't speak any other language except the magical being's, but he still can communicate in English so he probably has a translation spell. He still speaks in a [[ForeignLookingFont runic looking font]] so probably still has an accent.
* WalkingWasteland: Only for the weak and sick, but prolonged exposure to him can be dangerous to health.
* TheWonka: Can appear as this. Incredibly powerful and awesome fae noble... as far as we can tell even his own kind questions his sanity (probably related to him being IntriguedByHumanity, amongst other things).
* WouldHurtAChild: His canon that he killed one. How much was it [[AndCallHimGeorge accident]], [[ObliviouslyEvil clulessness]] or [[TheoryOfNarrativeCausality narrative]] [[YouCantFightFate compulsion]] is up to debate, though. And he is still continuing the ''[[ChangelingTale babysitting]]'' tradition with varying success and probably mortality rate.
* YourDoorWasOpen: Other characters knock, he just appears in other's apartments. Can be justified by, well, he can teleport and was born before privacy was invented.

* BadassPrincess: She can legitimately intimidate a magical mercenary with a ''[[PrecisionFStrike freaking]]'' [[ImprovisedWeapon hair pin]]! (And putting on her GameFace.)
* CombatHaircomb: As the BadassPrincess example shows she has this in the form of a hair pin as part of his human disguse at least.

* FacialMarkings: As it can be seen in the pictures she has some.

* MasterOfDisguise: All fair ones can [[MasterOfIllusion disguise themselves]] as humans, but hers is the most convincing. She can even fool other fae.
* {{Monochromatic|Eyes}} PurpleEyes
* NamedByTheAdaptation: For a long time she was NoNameGiven / EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep. There was even a naming poll for her... Aisling won.
* PublicDomainCharacter: As with her father, her story is old.
* ShipperOnDeck: She wholeheartedly supports her brother and his chosen [[spoiler:so Jareth/Sarah]]. Threatening this pairing (or any people in it) is ''not'' wise around her.

(Jadis' "minion" or, according to [[WordOfGod Word of Ashe]], she is an independent contractor. Probably not ''that'' [[Theatre/SwanLake Odile]] but the alias fits.)

* ExpressiveHair: Same as her clothing later. And her [[ExpressiveEars Ears]].
* ExpressiveShirt: Her LeotardOfPower has small wing/feather like things that goes up or down with her mood.
* TheFairFolk: Quite probably. Has all the physical characteristics to qualify as a pure blooded fae in the series (namely: PointyEars and MonochromaticEyes) and called Jareth "one of us".
* FemmeFatale
* InvisibleToNormals: When she wants to, or at least the "You see me- How?" when she had the misfortune to run into Miss King suggests it strongly.
* LeotardOfPower: She wears one. Practices WaifFu. And it's also expressive.
* MasculineLinesFeminineCurves: A weird subversion. Ashe's style to draw women tends to be highly (many times impossibly) curvy and this didn't change but "Odile" also has a '''lot''' of sharp lines (more than most if not all male characters) which gives her a "living crystal" look.
* MistakenDeclarationOfLove / MagicKiss: [[spoiler:Seems like accepting "Odile"'s ''hand / answer'' when you're calling out for your true love [[{{Geas}} magically binds you]] to her.]]
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: [[WordOfGod Word of Ashe]] that she is a mercenary.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Odile" is a CodeName. We don't know her actual one.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Let's just say that she took that [[FryingPanOfDoom pan]] very personally, which isn't too professional for a mercenary. (For her misfortune she run into someone violently protective.)
* WaifFu: She is comparatively small and looks fragile but has uncanny (maybe magic enhanced) reflexes and fights barehanded... can fight three armed BadassNormal characters simultaneously without problem. Later revealed that they just stalled her, but it's still impressive.

* AnthropomorphicPersonification
* CatchPhrase: [[ImNotAfraidOfYou I don't believe in you.]]
* CreepyChild: Let's just say that he is on the [[NightmareFuel/{{Roommates}} Nightmare Fuel]] page.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: He appeared fully clothed but barefoot. Maybe to signify that he is "down to earth" but don't read this as EarthyBarefootCharacter because he isn't more on the side of FlatEarthAtheist.
* IKnowWhatYouFear: He is the biggest thing any fictional being has to fear so obviously has this power.

** The effectiveness actually seems to be directly proportional to how much the target requires his [[IncrediblyLamePun suspension]].

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: (S)he apparently operates like [[Characters/DoctorWhoAliensAndMonsters The Silence]]. Which means you forget him/her, or at least (s)he fades in the background of your memory, when you look away.
* ManipulativeBastard: Use a child's curiosity, or a goblin's innocence to invoke the RuleOfDrama? Sure thing.

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: This is a comic in fairly lifelike {{animesque}}. Now He/She/It looks like a collection of scribbles in a vaguely humanoid shame (if you can make out words, those are probably plot important to boot), which is a jarring change.

'''The Shadow Beasts'''\\
(Minions of the Erlkönig? Or maybe depends on who [[CastingAShadow casted the shadows]].)

* AnimalMotifs / MythicalMotifs: As they manifest as animals or mythical beings [[ShadowArchetype connected to the characters]]. To date we saw:
** BigBadassBirdOfPrey: James' is a hawk.
** CanisMajor / SavageWolves: Odin (his is literally a shadow Fenrir).
** DragonsUpTheYinYang: [[spoiler:Mr. Saito]].
** NobleWolf: Javert
** OurDragonsAreDifferent: Arthur Pen'''dragon'''.
** OminousOwl: Jareth.
** PantheraAwesome: Erik.
** AnimalStereotypes: And the rest. Sarah's is a swan. And shock of all shocks... [[spoiler:The Erkönig's]] shadow is human.
* BondCreatures: They can act like this. [[spoiler:The Erlkönig lent their power to the cast in ''Such Stuff as Dreams Are Made On''.]] They share their motifs and can turn their ''partners'' into an {{Animal Themed Superbeing}}s.
* LivingShadow: Can appear as these if they aren't granted full autonomy (or are bound to people if you wish) so overlaps with TheShadowKnows.
* MonochromaticEyes: [[spoiler:Can also happen to their partners if they channel their knowledge or power.]]
* PureMagicBeing: They are literally made of [[HardLight tangible]] [[CastingAShadow shadows]].
* ShadowArchetype: Seems like (if the beginning of ''TheWildHunt arc'' is any indication, [[spoiler:where Jareth summons them as to be EnemyWithout prey]]) they are literally this, summoned by CastingAShadow from people's shadows in a form that represents their inner darkness.

'''The Wolves'''\\
(Jadis' minions.)

* SavageWolves: The bloodthistiest and savagest in all fiction. They were the Wargs in the works of Tolkien now serving the White Queen.
* TalkingAnimal: Well, yes, they can talk.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Their notion towards the Goblins. And yes. Thanks to CanonWelding in this crossover world they indeed were.

(Yeah. The creator is a character too.)

* AmbiguousGender: His/her AuthorAvatar. [[WordOfGod The Artist]] goes so far to ignore the guesses... the fans stand mostly on the "who cares?" side.
* AuthorAvatar: (S)he got magic sneezed into the comic once... she didn't stay long. See also GenreSavvy.
* CrypticConversation: (S)he tends to answer reader questions this way. Maybe because (s)he doesn't want to spoil or influence the EpilepticTree planting. (S)he also posted some rather cryptic polls ([[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/journal/poll/3624370/ Q: "When?" A: "Sooner" / "Later"]]) with no further explanation.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: At least (s)he isn't perfectly protected as Crowley occasionally steals his/her beer.
* GenreSavvy: Averted RageAgainstTheAuthor by running before the characters realized who (s)he is.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Occasionally switches to this in ''The Artist'' comments.

Almost if not all of the characters in these folders are '''{{Walking Spoiler}}s''' so for sanities sake no marked ones. If you don't want to know these secrets: [[SchmuckBait DO NOT OPEN]].

[[folder:Jareth]]

There were several versions of '''Jareth''' appearing in the comic justified by his powers (TimeMaster) and heritage (TheFairFolk).

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Roommates-Jareth-Kid_35.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:[-Little Jareth is cute!-] ]]
'''Kid!Jareth'''\\
Appeared in the ''Kid!Jareth'' or ''Little Time Traveler arc'' and he is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin really. He is a small kid Jareth from the past. Also appeared in a the dream / flashback sequence in ''Such Stuff...'' ... how long did his [[MagnificentBastard dad]] manipulate his life again?

* CloudCuckoolander: He is a small child from a MagicalLand of course he acts weird in the modern world.
* GooGooGodlike: He could [[TimeTravel travel into the future]] all by his own. Without his parents noticing. But not wise enough to see the dangers of his [[PrecociousCrush crush]] and [[ThePromise promise]].
** There is also a BonusMaterial [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Thanks-for-Wishing-lyrics-265496501 sketch]] ([[CaptainObvious the upper left one]]) that has him sitting in his dad's crown, who has the unmistakable facial expression of a BadlyBatteredBabysitter.
* KidFromTheFuture: Some people [[EpilepticTrees suspected]] this but: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Kid from the PAST. He didn't remain long but it's enough to cause his and Sarah's whole history.
* LonelyRichKid: Lonely [[SupernaturalElite Magical Royal]] Kid. With parents like his who wouldn't be?
* PeekABangs: In his dream / flashback appearance in ''Such Stuff...'' one of the reasons why it's hard to tell which is it.
* PrecociousCrush / BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Towards Sarah. An older one in the future. Their whole movie happened because of this ForgottenFirstMeeting that wasn't really forgotten just didn't happen yet... MindScrew anyone? See also: ThePromise and TheJailbaitWait in his regular tropes.
* ThePromise: He gave his word to Sarah (but he didn't use the double line letters so maybe he didn't {{geas}} himself into it perfectly) to:
** IAmNotMyFather: To NOT be like his parents.
** TimeTravelRomance / MayflyDecemberRomance: Always love her.
** BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Make all her wishes come true.

[[quoteright:251:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Roommates-Jareth-Dark_3504.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:251:[-Our ''Villain'' ladies and gentlemen.-] ]]
'''Dark!Jareth'''\\
Appeared in the ''Dark!Jareth arc'' and also in ''Such Stuff As Dreams are Made On''. He is basically Jareth's SuperpoweredEvilSide and read ''Evil'' as ''{{Fair|Folk}}''.

* BigBadWannabe: Actually he would be the BigBad of the ''Dark!Jareth arc'', but he is defeated pretty easily. Basically because you can't tell an epic story about the clash of good and evil if the other characters don't comply.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: He thinks in {{trope}} and measures moral questions in the terms of the TheoryOfNarrativeCausality. He would kill if that was the story, maybe feel remorse about the life lost but would think and feel that that was the right thing to do. To clarify he seems to have some idea about what humans call "good" or "bad" but he thinks of them as [[{{Trope}} storytelling devices]] not morality and as such doesn't value them over any other {{trope}}.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: His second appearance was pretty much magically manipulated by his mother.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: His decoration sense has distinct shades of this.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: [[DownplayedTrope Not too dramatic]]. He just loses the DiscoDan qualities to compensate his VillainousFashionSense.
* EvilIsNotWellLit: When he first surfaced his first move was to redecorate and dim the lights. He also set the RooftopConfrontation to nighttime, even if the arc clearly begins in the morning.
* EvilSmellsBad: Averted. His "Reek of Wrongness" smells like peach.
* TheFatalist: As Sarah put it he is "Mr.-I-have-to-obey-the-story".
* FourthWallObserver: He is [[MediumAwareness aware]] of the [[TheoryOfNarrativeCausality story]] his [[DesignatedVillain role in it]] his [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption ultimate fate]] and his [[LoveRedeems only way out]]... if only the heroine would notice.
* LargeHam: What can we say? The guy planned a RooftopConfrontation just for the effect! And messed with time to make it moonlit...
* MonochromaticEyes: A lot like his fathers... and a lot darker than his normal eye color. The most telling mark that you're dealing with him. On the black-and-white pages it looks like BlackEyesOfEvil, but it [[SubvertedTrope isn't]].
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: He has his moments. Not that he is friendly. He knows perfectly well how awkward intrusion in their personal space can be for others.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: He, even more so than normally, and [[Literature/TheErlKing his father]].
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Technically he would be Jareth's original [[TheFairFolk fae]] personality... but his love and gratitude for the girl he chose, the camaraderie he feels for his friends and his own desire to change makes him suppress it.
--> To quote [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/254362098/2163676706 Pika-la-Cynique's comment]] about it: "... is an [[NobodyCanDie indestructible]], [[ChaoticNeutral irrepressible]], [[ItAmusedMe easily-amused and frequently bored]] [[TheTrickster prankster]] on his [[HeroWithAnFInGood *good* days]], and an [[NeutralEvil amoral, ruthless]], [[TheoryOfNarrativeCausality Story-powered]] [[{{Villains}} villainous]] [[TheFairFolk Fae]] [[EvilPrince lord]] with [[TimeMaster time-fluxing abilities]] on [[SuperpoweredEvilSide the bad]]."

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Roommates-Jareth-Mortal_1909.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:[-Jareth - Magic = {{Adorkable}}-] ]]
'''Mortal!Jareth'''\\
Appeared in ''Such Stuff Dreams Are Made On'' after receiving a rather [[BlessedWithSuck ambiguous]] [[BroughtDownToNormal gift]] from his father. He broke the spell around halfway through the arc.

* {{Adorkable}}: Ditzy, wide-eyed, confused and insanely cute.
* BadDreams: The DreamingTheTruth / TalkingInYourDreams variety.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Not a permanent {{Depower}} but his only strange ability (according to Shadow!Javert) in this form is to always know where Sarah is.
* EyepatchOfPower: Inverted. {{Eyepatch Of|Power}} {{Depower}}. Hides and seals his mismatched eye the symbol of his magic (it's his father's seal). See also: PeekABangs
* FakeMemories: Seem to have them and he is locked in a full-blown LotusEaterMachine. Daddy thinks of everything.
* PeekABangs: After the appearance of Fake!Sarah and in {{Dream Sequence}}s his hair hides his eye or eyepatch. (Works well with concealment, shyness, vulnerability (he was never this weak and vulnerable in his whole life) and the supernatural interpretation of the trope.)
* RingOfPower: Again inverted mostly. A [[WithThisRing claddagh]] and his mother's seal it's also a lot more {{Clingy|Macguffin}} than his eyepatch. See also "Odile"'s tropes.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Cast]]

Sometimes we see other versions of the others... you can guess this has to do with all {{The Trickster}}s around.

[[caption-width-right:300:[-Yeah... They're cute too. Even Erik.-] ]]
([[CaptainObvious Appeared]] in the ''[[FountainOfYouth Kids arc]]''):

'''Kid!Erik'''

* {{Emo}}: Jareth has fun with clothes to add the looks to the attitude.
* StaticCharacter: He was only shorter as a kid.

'''Kid!James'''

* PuppyDogEyes / SparklingStreamOfTears: Yep. He cries a lot... and looks ADORABLE in the process.

'''Kid!Javert'''

* EvilIsPetty: He isn't above taking candy from a baby... or at least cookie from Kid!James.
* RebelliousSpirit: Jareth even dresses him as Punk.

[[caption-width-right:250:[-Not pictured: Female!Legolas.-] ]]
(GenderBender brought to us by Jareth's [[PowerIncontinence cold]]. They stayed in this form the longest, made some fans [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer question their sexuality]] and Sarah lampshaded the AttractiveBentGender principle.):

'''Female!Erik'''

* TheLadette: What did you expect?
* StaticCharacter: Still the murderous psycho we all love.

'''Female!James'''

* DifferentForGirls: (S)he really shouldn't stand like that with his new... body parts.
* SpiritedYoungLady

'''Female!Javert'''

* AloofDarkhairedGirl: Which isn't much of a surprise when you gender flip a TallDarkAndSnarky guy, who for some reason takes the change more gracefully and maturely than the others. (She was the one stopping Erik from murdering the cause of their misery, and generally the voice of reason.)

'''Female!Legolas''' (We don't see enough form her for any tropes.)

[[caption-width-right:250:[-The two faces of the [[spoiler:Shadow!Main Cast]].-] ]]
of ''Such Stuff Dreams are Made On''. At the surface they look like {{muggle}} versions BroughtDownToNormal like Jareth, but it becomes apparent quite quickly that they are a lot more. The Erlkönig lent them the power of his minions. See also: The Shadow Beasts in the Magical Community folder.

'''Tropes for all'''

* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: In {{Dream Sequence}}s and after Jareth breaks the LotusEaterMachine. They have animal costumes and if James' CapeWings are any indication probably also some animal abilities.
* CrypticConversation: They do this... a lot... almost like they enjoy knowing more about the situation than Jareth does.
* {{Monochromatic|Eyes}} OccultBlueEyes: At least when they are testing the safeguards of the LotusEaterMachine (and/or channeling their Shadow Beast).
* TheShadowKnows: Their AnimalMotifs and MythicalMotifs appear this way in the [[LotusEaterMachine "normal world"]].

'''Shadow!Javert'''

* AnimalMotifs: He is still the [[NobleWolf Wolf]].
* WalkingShirtlessScene: The "Fae Animal Superhero" outfit makes him this.

'''Shadow!James'''

* AnimalMotifs: [[BigBadassBirdOfPrey Eagle]].
* CapeWings: His "Fae Animal Superhero" outfit has a feathered cape that can act as fully functional wings or the other way around and he has wings in this form that can look like a feathered cape. So [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-Such-Stuff-As-Dreams-Are-Made-On-36-303479249 wings]] or [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-Such-Stuff-as-Dreams-Are-Made-On-16-294056058 cape]]?
* SacrificialLion: He admits being this in his own story and plays the trope [[InvokedTrope intentionally]] here.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: The "Fae Animal Superhero" outfit makes him this.

'''Shadow!Erik'''

* AnimalMotifs: [[PantheraAwesome Panther, or at least some kind of a big cat]].
* WalkingShirtlessScene: The "Fae Animal Superhero" outfit makes him this.

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roommates-shadowsaito_7706.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:[-What do you want from him?-] ]]
'''Shadow!Saito'''

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Delivered by him to Mortal!Jareth: "- Who are you?"
* BadassLongRobe: The {{Kimono}} variety.
* {{Koan}}: All Shadow!Cast members like to talk in [[CrypticConversation riddles]] but HE is a walking talking Fortune Cookie. Like what does "[[LightIsNotGood Day]] and [[DarkIsNotEvil night]] [[SecretWar hold twilight war]] in the [[TheFairFolk court of seasons]]." even mean ({{Pot Hole}}d with in story meaning for convenience)? Or the more profound and the same time more literal: "There is no man in the mirror but the one you imprison there yourself."
* MythicalMotifs: He got [[DragonsUpTheYinYang Eastern Dragon]]! How the Erlkönig got this Shadow Beast is a mystery... if it's his at all.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: "I have come here against great personal inclination to speak with you." One of the reasons why he is more cryptic than the others... and [[ItAmusedMe it also amused him]].

Well, James after Jareth temporarily grants him his Kingdom and Power.

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Light blue.
* HowDoIShotWeb: Well. First declare that you don't feel any different to trigger the TransformationSequence...
* MakingASplash: Magic in ''his'' hands is distinctly water based. It also tends to {{Float|ingWater}}.
* PowerDyesYourHair: With a [[SkunkStripe blue strain]].
* PowerIncontinence: ... and try not to drown your friends and subjects in uncontrolled water magic.
* PowerupFullColorChange: To ''blue''.

'''Seneschal Éponine'''

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Brown.
* FighterMageThief: Thief.
* OnlySaneMan: She plays the balancer advisor and voice of reason.

'''Assasin Erik'''

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver Red and black]]. He also plays the {{Red Oni|BlueOni}} to Javert's blue.
* CombatPragmatist: He would risk owing the [[CardCarryingVillain White Witch]] to get the upper hand.
* CourtMage: Sort of. Plays magical advisor despite lacking any magic thanks to [[SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic supreme analytical skills]].
* FighterMageThief: Mage. Or something like that.

'''Champion Socks'''

* ChangelingTale: Erik theorizes that he was a child turned goblin and his sudden appearance change is his will breaking the spell (it was actually Story).
* ChildSoldiers: What James fears will become of him if he lets him close to fighting.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Green.
* DarkSkinnedBlond: Well, darker skinned with [[MysticalWhiteHair white hair]] and PointyEars.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Pretty much took the first opportunity offerd by Story to be a hero and help James. It [[DealWithTheDevil wasn't a wise decision]].
* KidHero: What he thought Story promised him in their deal.
* PrettyBoy: Yep. And the fangirls squeed.
* SacrificialLion: If you read between the lines of Story, and that's literal. So yeah. A TragicHero is also a hero.

''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' has LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters and cameos (more than 100)... this list is far from complete. And can be quite '''spoilerific'''.

[[caption-width-right:300:[-Top: In his natural state.\\
Bottom: When he switches on the {{badass}}.-] ]]
'''[[Film/{{Labyrinth}} Goblin King Jareth]]'''

-->Modeled after Music/DavidBowie

See also: The Many Faces of... Jareth folder. His court is that of [[spoiler:"[[HufflepuffHouse The Un]][[AllOfTheOtherReindeer wanted]]"]] and not aligned with any season.

* AdorableEvilMinions: He is still the King Of The Goblins!
* AesopAmnesia: He is prone to this... most prominently never ever truly learns to ''not'' InstantCosplaySurprise the others. But he ''is'' capable of subverting the trope occasionally like in the ''Second Vacation Arc'' he did not repeat any mistakes of the ''First'' despite of [[GenreSavvy everybody counting on it]] (he committed entirely new ones).
* BerserkButton: Don't you '''dare''' threaten his ''friends''. Not to mention [[spoiler:using his dark side]] to kill one of them. He will go at least {{Woobie Destroyer of|Worlds}} {{Dream World}}s because of that. His father's EvilGloating / PassiveAggressiveKombat.
* BigEgoHiddenDepths: Oh, how proud, vain and arrogant he is while being a small name in both the supernatural and the mortal world at best thought of as [[GreatGazoo nuisance]] worst a total loser. He is also, well look at this trope list, has more things hidden than anybody would guess. Deep down he has a lot of problems but basically is really a NiceGuy... ''and'' a true FairFolk.
* BigFancyCastle: Only rarely referenced, but he owns one [[BeneathTheEarth Underground]] surrounded by a LivingLabyrinth and his very own MagicalLand, where his ([[HufflepuffHouse Highly Under-appreciated]]) [[StandardRoyalCourt court]] historically resides.
* BlackSheep: Well, he is. Being the goofy guy coming from a long line of magical villains.
* BrutalHonesty / BadLiar: He apparently believes in telling the truth and is bad at straight up lying. He didn't try to play the [[FakingAmnesia amnesia by possession]] card at the end of the ''Dark!Jareth arc'' for example. ''But'' he seems perfectly capable of misdirection by [[ExactWords truth]] or just plain [[YouDidntAsk not telling]].
* CannotDream: Or at least he [[DownPlayedTrope rarely]] dreams. Seems to be a side effect of being a DreamWeaver and/or FairFolk, or at least this bit CrypticConversation suggests something like that:
--> '''Jareth''': "I'm not used to being a dreamer."
--> '''Javert''': "Really? You, who all but lives in them?"
--> '''Jareth''': "Fish don't drink."
** According to [[WordOfGod Ashe]] he also [[TheSleepless rarely sleeps]].
* CantArgueWithElves: Technically he isn't an elf but you can't argue with him anyway, or to be precise you can, it's just [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers futile]].
* CosmicPlaything: Related to his [[{{Determinator}} stubborn]] [[ScrewDestiny destiny screwing]] attempts as he managed to attract the destiny's or more precisely [[TheoryOfNarrativeCausality the story]]'s attention... and he is [[MediumAwareness aware]] of this.
* DepartmentOfChildDisservices: His court in many ways is the magical equivalent. He takes unwanted children (probably other creatures too) in a wellmeaning attempt to give them a better life, but being his misguided, screwed up and clueless self makes it questionable how much he actually helps.
* {{Determinator}}: You probably couldn't really tell from how he normally [[{{keet}} acts]] but this guy is [[YouCantFightFate trying]] to [[ScrewDestiny change his fate]] since [[ReallySevenhundredYearsOld a really long time]].
* DoubleStandard: Some small ones. Like he has problems with his father's [[YourDoorWasOpen uninvited misting in]] while having no second thoughts about [[YourDoorWasOpen poofing]] everywhere.
* EthicalSlut: He is an equal opportunity and generally tolerant guy, despite his sexuality being (as much as we can tell that is) {{Single Target|Sexuality}}.
* TheFairFolk: Thanks to the [[TangledFamilyTree magic family tree]] he is even related to all of them (and the whole WitchSpecies).
* FanOfUnderdog: To a [[ExaggeratedTrope ridiculous extent]]. He roots for ''all'' people who aren't treated well / fairly in / by their story (no matter how ditzy or otherwise flawed they may be). [[spoiler:He isn't the king of "The Unwanted" for nothing.]]
* {{Fauxreigner}}: While he doesn't deny being [[TheFairFolk fae]] but acts and identifies as British so much that Sarah even got roped into the British Boyfriends Are Better club. In reality his only connection to Britain seems to be ActorAllusion and [[Creator/CSLewis Author]] ShoutOut on his mother's side but also... what should we call someone [[spoiler:Half-Charnian, Half-Scandinavian/Germanic]]?
* AFriendInNeed / [[StopHelpingMe Jareth. Please. Please! PLEASE!!! Stop Helping Us!]]: He is. He genuinely cares for his friends (random mortals probably not so much), would risk all... but given how ''bad'' he is in doing good he is the personification of the WithFriendsLikeThese principle.
* FriendToAllChildren: He has a soft spot for children. Probably related to his standing as FanOfUnderdog. It's also worth to note that he doesn't necessarily know how to do the friend thing, see IJustWantToHaveFriends and TroubledAbuser.
* GentlemanSnarker: He fits this almost perfectly, even if his friends and Sarah tend to [[SmarterThanYouLook think of him]] as UpperClassTwit. Only he is part of the SupernaturalElite, and has a SingleTargetSexuality (this doesn't mean that he doesn't appear AmbiguouslyGay or as a ChivalrousPervert though).
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: If not {{Painted On|Pants}}. Like [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-18-Put-It-Back-69020381 this]] unidentified silk "thing".
* HeroWithAnFInGood / VillainBallMagnet: He is almost perfectly in the middle of these tropes. He has great intentions but is either misguided or misunderstood. [[spoiler:Because of the TheoryOfNarrativeCausality his wish to be [[{{Heroes}} the good guy]] is maybe a TragicDream.]]
* HiddenBadass: On several levels. He is an incredibly powerful [[TheFairFolk greater fae]] who can kick ass or warp [[TimeMaster time]] and [[SpaceMaster space]], manipulate [[LaserGuidedAmnesia mem]][[CharacterRerailment ories]] and [[DreamWeaver dreams]] and more. Has a SuperpoweredEvilSide. And also:
** AgentPeacock: Even more than canonically, he is [[{{Pride}} proud]] and [[VanityIsFeminine vain]] and known to suffer [[VillainousBreakdown breakdowns]] when he notices that others are [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-15-Tall-67361588 taller]][[note]](He is the only one NOT ridiculously tall from the main cast, but he can float!)[[/note]] or [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-13-Flush-66111403 thinner]] than him.
** BewareTheSillyOnes: Let's see he seems like a {{keet}}, [[DumbBlonde blond]], [[TheTrickster prankster]] with [[FearlessFool questionable level of self-preservation instinct]] who [[ItAmusedMe only wants to have fun]].
** TookALevelInBadass: He accepted his darker nature after the [[spoiler:''Dark!Jareth arc'']], which resulted in much stronger magic. It also manifests in a lot of different side effects like a BattleAura ([[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-196-Power-Play-265228145 here]]), more frequent GlowingEyesOfDoom, his CrystalBall changing form, flashier InstantRunes sometimes even a partial or full TransformationSequence ([[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-187-Reflexes-259633618 here]])
* HowDoYouLikeThemApples: Averted. Or maybe Subverted. His trademark mystical fruit is ''peach''. Either the guy has some oriental relatives too, or he chose it to screw with expectations or reflect his own FanOfUnderdog standing. (This poor neglected fruit needs more credit!)
* IdeaBulb: [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-13-Flush-66111403 Idea crystal]]!
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: He's always happy when he thinks he's helping them and loves doing things like taking them to the beach, but as seen at the end of the "Wild Hunt" arc he isn't so sure of his ability to hang onto them, given [[TheFairFolk his nature.]]
* ImpossiblyTackyClothes / RummageSaleReject: There is a reason WHY the others don't approve his [[ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction instant]] [[InstantCosplaySurprise clothing]] spell. Yes. [[WTHCostumingDepartment They see what we see]]. Technically he has VillainousFashionSense[[note]]Mostly prone too: ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow, HighCollarOfDoom, SpikesOfVillainy, ScaryImpracticalArmor (mostly when pissed) and [[SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains being in various stages of undress]].[[/note]] with some levels of DiscoDan and a penchant for PaintedOnPants. But '''HE''' always looks {{Awesome|AnachronisticApparel}} in them.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Arrogant sure but at times also demonstrates cripplingly low self-esteem like thinking that only in a dream could his LoveInterest ever show affection for him.
* InfiniteSupplies: UnlimitedWardrobe mostly with SigilSpam, his own Cologne (OK. This one actually exists), [[BrandX Peach computer]] ([[EveryoneOwnsAMac Apple]] [[SubvertedTrope is not enough]] for the Goblin King) etc.. He has everything, always and custom made.
* InsistentTerminology: He [[ChangelingTale doesn't steal children]] he just ''babysits''. Helps his case that by his rules taking a child seems to be only possible if a caretaker wished her away (not that he can't twist and rules lawyer this).
* TheJailBaitWait: Ended, but he did probably the [[MindScrew weirdest]] and most [[ExaggeratedTrope extreme]] one in fiction. [[spoiler:His own PrecociousCrush and [[{{Geas}} given word]] bound him to wait for [[SingleTargetSexuality Sarah]] to be born and grow up to be legal age for his MayflyDecemberRomance attempts. And he even played the TricksterMentor (like in their movie) to ensure that the right future happens an the whole thing doesn't end in TemporalParadox. See PrecociousCrush in Kid!Jareth's tropes.]]
* KaleidoscopeEyes: Normally he seems to have heterochromia but technically he hasn't as both of his eyes are [[OccultBlueEyes blue]] just his different sized pupils create a similar effect. ''But'' in times of high magic (so when his [[TheFairFolk fae]] heritage is close to the surface) his eyes can turn {{Monochromatic|Eyes}} or Dark where they shouldn't be. He can also get GlowingEyesOfDoom. All of these are UhOhEyes but when it gets MonochromaticEyes and Dark. [[spoiler:Ummm... Hello Mr. [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Dark!Jareth]]!]]
* {{Keet}}: Most of the time. With some subtle shades of SadClown mostly after applied FridgeLogic.
* ManipulativeBastard: [[DownPlayedTrope Thank goodness]] for his [[TheFourLoves goodwill]] and [[BrilliantButLazy terminal laziness]].
* MediumAwareness: Specifically: He knows he is in a story that runs on {{Fanservice}} a lot.
* MonsterRoommate: Of the main cast. Officially upgraded from TokenNonhuman since page 278.
* MrFanservice: Add his MediumAwareness and you'll get the idea. He knows he is MrFanservice and likes to invoke every ShirtlessScene opportunity possible and then ''lampshade'' it with something like a GoofyPrintUnderwear ''[[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-4-Meetings-60853004 If you can read this, thank FANSERVICE]]".
* TheNicknamer: He is a moderate example or ([[SubvertedTrope contrary]] to [[FearlessFool popular]] [[DumbBlonde belief]]) HAS a self-preservation instinct, but still one of the selected few who dares to call James (Norrington) ''Jamie''.
* NighInvulnerability: Only a handful of things can really hurt a FairFolk and ''he'' has the [[UnexplainedRecovery protection]] [[NobodyCanDie of]] [[UsefulNotes/MediaClassifications PG]] too.
* NumerologicalMotif: As canonically he is fond of 13. Maybe because of it's connection with [[TheTrickster change]] or maybe just because [[FanOfUnderdog poor]] ThirteenIsUnlucky.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: He reverts to the ForeignLookingFont other [[spoiler:Scandinavian-Germanic/Magical]] characters use when he is angry enough. Like [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-138-Loss-188692595 here]]
* PopCulturedBadass: He is ''really'' into internet culture like [[MemeticMutation memes]] and {{fandom}}s. For example he referenced the RulesOfTheInternet (intentionally badly), used the Mizzies FanNickname, and also countered in a game SuperHero with [[MemeticMutation Nyan Cat]]. But [[WordOfGod appearantly]] never read the EvilOverlordList ([[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-173-Catching-Up-241858646 thank goodness]]).
* ReluctantMonster: He is a highly powerful [[TheFairFolk fae lord]], who tries hard to subvert his very nature. Make no mistake, this doesn't make him weaker or less dangerous. Not to mention what (or [[SuperpoweredEvilSide who]]) happens when he pushes himself too hard to be ''good''... or could happen if he lost his MoralityChain.
* ReluctantRuler: He really tries to do as little as (non-)humanly possible to rule his court.
* SkewedPriorities: Being a fae this isn't much of a surprise but let just say that his fun and clothing tends to take top priorities, even to possible mortal danger. And also his friends and love interest top supernatural obligations... but this one can be negotiated. So when he found himself in a fantasy dreamland his first question wasn't "How did I get here?" or "What does this talking dragon do here?" but "[[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-Such-Stuff-as-Dreams-Are-Made-On-23-297391818 Why am I in armor?]]".
* SlouchOfVillainy: Because here PowerFloats now sometimes [[UpToEleven even on thin air]]!
* SmarterThanYouLook: As he is more [[HiddenBadass dangerous]] than he looks he is also smarter than he looks (yeah... he looks like a DumbBlonde, so much).
* StalkerWithACrush: It's his canon, but here, most of the time, he's less guilty than suspected.
* StealthMentor: DoubleSubverted. He '''is''' a MediumAware [[FairyTale children's story]] villain. It's his purpose to make the hero (and the audience) learn important [[AnAesop life lessons]], which [[IgnoredAesop he knows and doesn't intend to]], but somehow [[AccidentalAesop still manages to do]]. And if he would by some miracle ''[[InvokedTrope want]]'' to deliver AnAesop, it will most likely be mistaken for a [[AccidentalAesop different one]] (or become a ALessonLearnedTooWell). Yeah. His "luck" with morals is as bad as with morality.
* StrongFamilyResemblance / TurnOutLikeHisFather: For his mothers great dismay. They look alike, dress alike (PaintedOnPants / VillainousFashionSense), have similar modus operandi and even share a CatchPhrase or two... but for some reason, no HereditaryHairstyle in sight (Jareth has EightiesHair while his dad is a LongHairedPrettyBoy).
* ThickerThanWater: Averted. He feels no love, compassion or obligation for his family in general and parents in particular (they can still blackmail him into things though or just [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-281-Exchange-331342303 pay]] him). For his [[TrueCompanions friends]] on the other hand...
* TroubledAbuser: Do you see all these tropes about his tragic backstory and being a fan of the underdog? Well, he tends to let out his frustrations (also inhumanity and dysfunction) on his [[AdorableEvilMinions minions]]... who by the way are the same as him just weaker, if not outright [[HarmfulToMinors children turned goblins]]. He also has JerkassWoobie on YMMV.
* UnskilledButStrong: Sure he is insanely powerful but has [[PowerIncontinence control issues]] and rarely thinks about the possible consequences bordering on LethallyStupid at times[[note]]His power level would require a whole lot of wisdom he doesn't have, or to be at peace with his nature, which quite frankly wouldn't get rid of the ''lethal'' part[[/note]].
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He actually destroyed a (thankfully just dream)world, when he got pushed too far in the ''Such Stuff...'' arc. (His mother manipulated his SuperpoweredEvilSide into killing his best friend... and no it wasn't a redeeming point that she was aiming at his LoveInterest either.)

''Tropes about his magic:''

* {{Animorphism}}: As in {{canon}} he [[VoluntaryShapeshifting can shapeshift]] into a [[OminousOwl barn owl]] ([[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-136-Lurk-187161819?q=sort%3Atime%20gallery%3Aasherhyder&qo=8 like this]]) but here this can also happen to him [[InvoluntaryShapeshifter involuntarily]] for example if he [[SleepModeSize uses up too much magic]] like [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-21-Bad-Signs-70656269 here]]. Also results in a lot of {{Feather Motif}}s.
* CastingAShadow: He was shown to be able to catch people with shadows. Not exclusively but mostly this is a power his [[spoiler:[[SuperpoweredEvilSide Dark side]] likes to use... even his resurfacing is accompanied by tendrils of dark energy.]]
* ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction: His SignatureMove. It's still unclear if this is an [[FlightStrengthHeart addition to]] or a [[MundaneUtility creative application of]] his [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands highly versatile]] magic but he can even InstantArmor up this way if he needs to. He is also prone to bestow InstantCosplaySurprise on the others.
* CrystalBall / PowerCrystal: For {{Surveillance|AsThePlotDemands}}, using magic, or just playing. These things (or at least most of them) are the [[MadeOfMagic physical manifestations of Jareth's spells]] until activation or [[HourOfPower expiration]]. The perfectness of the ball shape also seems to indicate how much control he has over the particular spell.
* {{Geas}}: Outside of the vows taken in his magically binding voice, he also has some other magical bindings like what he can or can't tell people about his magic. [[spoiler:Example: He can't tell you the ''[[WordsCanBreakMyBones Right Words]]'' even if he wanted to.]]
* HealingHands: Can heal small injuries and such, but it [[DownplayedTrope isn't his forte at all]]. This still makes him the closest thing to TheMedic the main cast has.
* InstantRunes: [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-198-Time-Out-265375997 See the pretty circle?]] His time magic tends to get these (kinda resemble stylized clocks).
* MagicalGesture: His primary way of spell-casting, he even uses {{Badass Finger Snap}}s sometimes. Seems like the range of movement he requires is inversely proportional with the needed fine control and directly proportional to the power level of the spell so sometimes (like in battles) this turns into full blown FullContactMagic.
* MagicMirror: He [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-125-ForeSHADOW-177399111 had]] [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-156-Breaking-204471943 one]]. The first is the end of the ''Second Vacation arc'', where he severely overexerted himself and his magic. The second is the beginning of the ''Dark!Jareth arc'' where he pays the price. It also returns in ''Such Stuff''.
* MarkOfTheSupernatural: He has several traits that show his otherness but his left eye with the permanently dilated pupil is the main symbol of his fae nature. Like that's the one [[spoiler:his father]] sealed when he intended to depower him.
* PGExplosives: His original [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-20-Infestation-70131387 attack spell]].
* PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep / PowerEchoes: We don't know which obviously (it's a comic) but his font changes to [[PaintingTheMedium double-lined letters]] and it's acknowledged that this indicates a "[[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-121-Eagle-Eye-173709868 that funny tone of voice that means that he has to follow up]]". It's not known if this is a side effect of him channeling "the magic of truth" (for the lack of better word) or is this tone itself magic. Yes. He must be very [[BeCarefulWhatYouSay careful what he says]] in it. We saw two uses of this:
** [[LanguageOfTruth Voice Of Truth]]: He can't lie or break [[ThePromise his word]] given this way. [[spoiler:This magic has a safeguard/exaggerated property though namely makes him literally unable to ''promise'' things he can't keep as he can't even err in it. So even if he doesn't know why it would be a problem to keep his word... if he for some reason won't be able to do it he won't be able to promise it.]]
** [[LanguageOfMagic Voice Of Magic]]: What he declares or commands in this tone becomes reality (Telling a soul to "Go home" sends it back to it's owner. Declaring "We'll meet again" will make it happen. etc.).
* StormOfBlades / GemstoneAssault: His [[TookALevelInBadass upgraded]] attack spell rains deadly crystal shards and spears on his enemies.
* TimeMaster / SpaceMaster: In the broadest sense ([[LaserGuidedAmnesia even]] [[CharacterRerailment personal]] [[DreamWeaver time-space]]).

See also: The Many Faces of... the Cast folder.

* AnimalMotifs: Cat.
* BerserkButton: Glitter. Speaking ill of operas, the French or the Europeans. More or less in this order.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Apparently, [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-282-Payoff-332503801 towards Sarah]]. He's also quite protective of Christine, but that's a different trope.
* CannotTalkToWomen: Poor guy. According to the [[TheWizardOfOz Wizard]], this is why he played the MailerDaemon. From his reaction to Mag [[LockedInARoom in the elevator]] he was probably right.
* CatchingSomeZs: His Z's are [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-12-Movie-Night-65642265 special]] (musical rest signs).
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: He is quite glad that his family can't show up to make his life miserable.
* ExpressiveMask
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Most characters are out of place in the PresentDay setting of the comic but he suffers the worst effect.
* FriendlessBackground: No friends no family and he was never to enthusiastic about this whole friendship thing, but for his misfortune he met Jareth in a bar... and they [[DrowningMySorrows drowned their sorrows]] together. What did you think?
** This also results in some social anxiety, not that he has NoSocialSkills as much as he finds it easier to interact with people if he can be TheFaceless. See also: CannotTalkToWomen.
* GadgeteerGenius: He is as good with machines and modern technology, as he is FishOutOfTemporalWater normally. As a direct example he was the first to get a driver's license.
* HairTriggerTemper: Mostly to Jareth. The guy has a gift to piss him off.
* IdeaBulb: He has an [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Wrong-Movie-48267877 idea]] [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-102-Boy-Player-156480419 candle]].
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Punjab lasso which also functions as VariableLengthChain.
* TheInsomniac: Related to being [[{{Workaholic}} the Workaholic]], so he is mostly type B or C.
* KindheartedCatLover: The kindhearted part is debatable but he is a cat lover.
* LoveAtFirstNote: He has the tendency of falling in love with singing voices. [[spoiler:Here with Mag's.]]
* MadArtist: He still works on his opera that nobody can perform.
* MadScientistLaboratory: He seems to have one in the basement.
* MerlinSickness: Contracted with the first re-imagining of his original story. He ages backwards (slowly). As fictional character he doesn't really age much... but fan expectations change ([[ViewersAreMorons at least the executives say so]]) and because of this almost every new Phantom remake (re-imagining) has a younger and younger Erik and this affects the one in the 'verse of the comic.
* {{Motifs}}: Outside of his AnimalMotifs he is also MusicThemed as already stated in his UnusualEuphemism and CatchingSomeZs entry but this goes farther than those: You can always expect to find a random treble clef, musical note or something like that on his things etc..
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: He firmly believes in this. For his misfortune his [[MonsterRoommate roommate]] is [[NighInvulnerability hard to kill]].
* {{Nosebleed}}: He is kind of sensitive to the lack of female attire.
* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: Rare male on male example as he rooms with MrFanservice and he isn't approving all the {{Shirtless Scene}}s at all.
* ProperlyParanoid: If you room with a FairFolk it's a must.
* SceneryPorn: His room is ridiculously detailed and posh.
* StalkerWithACrush: It's his canon, but here, most of the time, he's less guilty than suspected.
* SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic: He is a firm believer in this trope despite lacking any magical talent, he managed to analyze at least Jareth's way of spellcasting enough to play [[CourtMage magical advisor]] when someone else got that power.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: Because he is mostly based on the musical as opposed to his literary incarnation.
* TeleportationSickness: Kind of a NoodleIncident because it's frequently referred to but never quite shown.
* TrapMaster: You can believe that his room and by extension the building is full of traps and even more with secret passages. [[spoiler:This actually got handy when the zombies appeared.]]
* UnusualEuphemism: He swears almost entirely in musical terms, so for him ''{{dubstep}}'' is a [[TakeThat curse]]. [[spoiler:When he switches to SymbolSwearing or CensorBox you know he is pissed.]]
* WickedCultured: [[ManOfWealthAndTaste Dresses well]]. Check. Uses [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness polysyllabic]] words. Not always but: Check. Likes [[CaptainObvious classical music]]. Check. Likes [[AGlassOfChianti fine wines]]. Check. Has a body count. Just in canon but: Check. Yep. He is a fine example.
* {{Workaholic}}

See also: The Many Faces of... the Cast folder

* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: Being a practicing alcoholic for a long time made him extremely resistant to most substances that could knock him out (including Jareth's magic peaches). He isn't perfectly immune but will get over such effects a lot faster than most people.
* TheAlcoholic: He is recovering but falls OffTheWagon sometimes.
* AnimalMotifs: Eagle (or dog).
* AttractiveBentGender: He looks good as male, female, in a drag etc. with or without magical assistance. He is just special.
* BadassLongcoat
* BeingGoodSucks: As he himself put it: "Stupid heroic streak...". He also has TheWoobie on YMMV because of this ([[WordOfGod Ashe even calls him that]], so join the [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Commodore-Catastrophe-Card-270111446 OH NO! James!]] club).
* CantTieHisTie: Well he can't. Despite being a sailor and good with knots, according to him it bothers him that this one is around his own neck.
* CatchPhrase: "Just because I don't talk about it doesn't mean I don't rock."
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Died in HeroicSacrifice... twice.
* CovertPervert: His BlindDate arc helping [[YouNeedToGetLaid attempts]], the [[CasualKink allusions]] in his mother's Shovel Talk, his reaction in the Omake, etc. already gave hints that he is a lot more knowledgeable about such matters than his NiceGuy image and time period would suggest but [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-266-Questions-5-and-6-310562546 this]] pretty much cemented his status (even if [[WordOfGod according to Ashe]] it wasn't intentional).
* DatingCatwoman: He is in a relationship with a girl of [[UnluckyEverydude lesser standing]] and [[LittleMissConArtist dubious]] [[ManipulativeBitch "job"]] who is [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking also]] [[CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys French]].
* DeadpanSnarker: He can out snark House.
* DropInCharacter: He and Javert almost live at Jareth's and Erik's place. At least until page 278.
* FunTShirt: The GallowsHumor variety fun, though. His most worn t-shirt has a target right over his heart. Self-inflicted {{Kick Me|Prank}} by the resident {{woobie}}.
* TheGadfly: Not as blatantly as his mother but he still systematically trolls his roommate with Fruit Baskets.
* GoodIsNotDumb: Whatever the others may think. Probably most blatant on [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-274-Doctor-322282896 this]] page, where he lampshades why it is a good idea to be on the good side of the AxCrazy ManipulativeBastard.
* GoodIsNotSoft: He is the only genuinely good and nice main cast member and he is underestimated a lot because of it, but he is also BadassNormal navy officer, who proved himself against pirates, undead and sea monsters (and is more [[UnusualEuphemism dangerous]] with ropes and nooses than Erik).
* HeroesPreferSwords: He is even the closest thing to a [[TokenGoodTeammate hero]].
* [[spoiler:HiddenBackupPrince: Thanks to their parents relationship he can be {{Rules Lawyer}}ed into the succession line of Jareth's family, and they are FairFolk, that's kinda sorta what they do.]]
* HippieTeacher: He was born some centuries too early but otherwise he qualifies. Nobody respects the poor guy.
* HonorBeforeReason: He is recovering, but his mother still lectures him about it.
* HumbleHero: Never got fame or praise and he never really wanted it. When he saved Phillipa Saito's thank was answered with "Oh- Of course. I'm just thankful I was fast enough.".
* InSeriesNickname: He is Jamie for Jareth and from his reaction [[spoiler:probably also for [[MommasBoy someone else]] but this isn't perfectly sure yet]].
* TheLancer / TheRival: He bemoans his canonical standing as these.
* MediumAwareness: Specifically: He knows he is in a comic... he even knows the page numbers and when they where published.
* MommasBoy: With great luck because his mother is a CoolOldLady.
* MoralityPet: Also to Jareth, [[spoiler:whose [[SuperpoweredEvilSide dark side]] isn't above to KickTheMoralityPet, but at least is ''[[BlueAndOrangeMorality nice enough]]'' to ask if he wants to be [[WorthyOpponent the hero]] and [[LetsFightLikeGentlemen fight]].]]
* MrFanservice: No he doesn't have many {{Shirtless Scene}}s that's Jareth's domain. He is this in the old FetishFuelStationAttendant way mostly playing on [[TheWoobie nurturing instincts]] and/or kinks like BoundAndGagged as seen [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-266-Questions-5-and-6-310562546 here]].
* MuggleBestFriend: The BadassNormal variety to Jareth. They are so close that it's [[HomoeroticSubtext bromance]].
* OfficerAndAGentleman: He doesn't dread his ''family'''s reaction to his [[DatingCatwoman girlfriend]] for nothing.
* OnlySaneMan: Depressingly often for his own taste.
* RealMenWearPink: Or floral hair clips while [[RealMenCook cooking]] / baking.
* SkewedPriorities: He thought that fixing his speechbubble icon is more important than telling the others about the "Poker Night(mares)" in their kitchen.
* StiffUpperLip: Tends to react this way to dangerous situations. So the ''universe'' tends to conspire against him just to prove that he is NotSoStoic.
* TeamMom: He is the closest to this. He gives {{Cool Down Hug}}s and makes muffins.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Stuck elevator? [[StuffBlowingUp Time to break out the TNT]]!
* TokenGoodTeammate: Of the main cast. Sure, the others are [[YouCantFightFate trying]] to [[CharacterDevelopment better themselves]] but are still [[AffablyEvil J]][[TheFairFolk ar]][[EvilPrince e]][[StalkerWithACrush th]], [[InspectorJavert Javert]] and [[BastardBoyfriend Er]][[EvilGenius ik]].
* UnknownRival: Of [[IndianaJones Dr. Jones]]. He is the poor history teacher whose classes are empty because everyone goes to the archeology lecture.
* WeirdnessCensor: At the beginning at least he tried really hard not to acknowledge that this place is weirder than his own movie. (For example when he first met Jareth what he first noticed was that [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn the guy is shirtless]] not that he is clearly supernatural.) He reached the FantasticallyIndifferent stage since.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Implied to have this kind of relationship with his father. Who is DeaderThanDead in this comic where NobodyCanDie because [[TheScrappy we fans hate the guy]].

'''[[Theatre/LesMiserables Inspector Javert]]'''

-->Modeled after PhilipQuast mostly.

See also: The Many Faces of... the Cast folder

* AnimalMotifs: Wolf.
* AntiMagic: One of his supernatural abilities, [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane if it's supernatural all]] and not just a side-effect of his [[{{Determinator}} stubborn]] and [[TheCynic cynical]] nature, that he is extremely resistant to magic. [[spoiler:Managed to shrug off Jareth's LaserGuidedAmnesia spell and was the first to fight off the CharacterRerailment one. Also the only to get up after Disbelief's ImNotAfraidOfYou.]]
* BadassLongcoat
* BerserkButton: Lawbreakers (Gavroche holds a special place in his heart), [[RunningGag Fruit Baskets]].
* BizarreTasteInFood: He is the only person in existence, who happily, knowingly and willingly eats Mrs. Lovett's "Worst Pies In London". Being the son of a LethalChef probably severely influenced his opinion on what counts as edible.
* ByTheBookCop: He will lecture a demon (Crowley) about not smoking in the library.
* CarpetOfVirility: Occasionally. When the artist doesn't forget it.
* TheComicallySerious
* TheCynic: His own {{canon}} was a {{deconstruction}} of everything he [[BlackAndWhiteMorality stood for]]. So yes. He doesn't believe. And sometimes he even acknowledges this as a character flaw (and then all the fangirls want to hug him making him a StoicWoobie).
* DefrostingIceKing: Through the PowerOfFriendship and [[PowerOfLove Love]] or considering the speed of his progress possibly GlobalWarming.
* {{Determinator}}: He doesn't really know the meaning of giving up.
* DropInCharacter: He and James almost live at Jareth's and Erik's place. At least until page 278.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: He isn't a bad guy strictly speaking but he isn't much of a good one either, and he also used up his [[MakeAWish one free wish]] to get his uncle to do something nice for his mother.
* ExpressiveHair: A strand of hair tends to free itself from his ponytail when he's [[NotSoStoic showing strong emotions]].
* ForeignCussWord: When he isn't censored or translated. The most common is "merde" but he also mused where the "enfer" did the river in the ''Second Vacation arc'' come from.
* FormerTeenRebel: We saw Kid!Javert as evidence.
* FriendlessBackground: He doesn't have friends canonically and isn't so keen about making new ones either. He wouldn't even meet his neighbors if James didn't insist [[spoiler:and brings the [[RunningGag Fruit Basket]]]].
* HotbloodedSideburns: Well, he has sideburns and is passionate about [[DownPlayedTrope some things]].
* HumanMomNonhumanDad: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. He has WitchSpecies mom and a probably purely human father [[spoiler:(not established here but the SpinOff about [[WordOfDante him and Valjean]] named [[Literature/TheHunchbackOfNotredame Clopin Trouillefou]])]].
* InspectorJavert: In canon, [[TropeNamer obviously]].
* [[spoiler:ManlyGay (Or BiTheWay, if we take [[http://pika-la-cynique.deviantart.com/art/GND126-Javert-prefers-Bordeaux-195012080 that one GirlsNextDoor page]] as canon) One of the (if not THE) manliest characters around, and, [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-302-Demi-354181505?q=gallery%3Aasherhyder%2F22161111&qo=5 apparently]], in a gay relationship. [[{{Asexuality}} Sort of]].]]
* OneHeadTaller: Javert and [[spoiler:Valjean]]. It directly contradicts their established statures in the [[Literature/LesMiserables book]] to highlight the dynamic of their UST [[TropesAreNotBad Nobody's necessarily complaining, however]]. This height difference comes from the [[ActorAllusion Dream Cast version of the musical]]... and because of this he is taller than ''anybody''.
** I'm not sure about this contradicting the [[Literature/LesMiserables Brick]] - Javert is always described as very tall, whereas average height for male Europeans at the time was around 5'3". So [[spoiler:Valjean]] may be burly and muscular, but he's unlikely to have been as tall as Javert (and I don't remember his height being specifically mentioned, either).
** Briefly inverted for the sake of a gag [[TheNthDoctor thanks to the new]] FilmOfTheMusical, though WordOfGod is Javert's going back to normal.
*** And he is--except the person he was one-head-taller than can snow swap between both actors, eliminating most of Javert's height advantage.
* PunchClockHero: He is just doing his job as security guard. He even contemplates pulling a VillainExitStageLeft stunt when he realizes that the university [[OnlyInItForTheMoney doesn't pay him enough]] for all the troubles... but he is too [[{{Determinator}} stubborn]] to give up. He also has some other "heroics" to do for some yet unexplored reason like one (1) honest-to-goodness good deed per year... naturally he tries to get rid off it as early as possible.
* SherlockScan: He developed this skill in the course of the comic. The most obvious is where he and Sherlock play "Detect-Off".
* SinkOrSwimMentor: His idea of helping his roommate who suffered great emotional trauma (and has [[TheAlcoholic a drinking problem]]) is throwing him out of their apartment with "get over it or die"... or [[LiteralMetaphor throwing him into a river]].
* TallDarkAndSnarky
* TrueSight: The one clearly supernatural ability he has here. ([[spoiler:This addition to his canon traits was justified by his gypsy (later outright supernatural) ancestry.]] It would be a useless ability in his original story anyway... here, on the other hand...)
* WeaponOfChoice: Truncheon.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: He normally is quite oblivious to such matters (he doesn't recognize other people's love problems either). [[spoiler:Since the {{omake}} he got partially over it, but can still be quite oblivious.]]

'''[[Literature/GoodOmens Crowley]]''' and '''[[Literature/GoodOmens Aziraphale]]'''

* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: Or HeavenAndHell. They act as the keepers of this. This fact is one of the reasons why TheFairFolk (that is by definition isn't allied with either side) is creepier and more dangerous than the resident demon.
* TheCutie: Aziraphale so very much.
* FourthWallObserver: Everyone has [[MetaGuy some]] [[GenreSavvy level]] of MediumAwareness here... But they know the author, his/her phone number and Crowley [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou steals his/her beer]].
* HeavenAndHell: Or at least the agents of them.
* HeterosexualLifePartners / FriendlyEnemy / HoYay / FoeYay: Who knows...
* LivingLieDetector: Aziraphale. "Crowley, my dear, lies work much better when they are spoken to those who don't already know them to be false."

-->Modeled after Creator/OrlandoBloom.

* ApologisesALot: [[UpToEleven Even to zombies]].
* CallingTheOldManOut: Thranduil clearly does not approve of his canon friendship with Gimli. Legolas clearly does not approve of his father's racism, but he ''just'' falls short of voicing his thoughts.
--> '''Legolas' Thoughts''': Not cool, Ada...
* CaptainObvious: Less than in Webcomic/GirlsNextDoor but still has his moments.
* CombatPragmatist: Guess who has guns and hidden ammo SurvivalHorror style. He also knows who the "period fighters" in the building are and [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-192-AoE-262679904 thus arms them first]] in the event of a ZombieApocalypse, as they are the least-likely to have working firearms.
* CoolSword: Has to hang onto Orcrist, which he confiscated [[Film/TheHobbitTheDesolationOfSmaug in the second Hobbit film]], until it's needed for the third. Sadly [[spoiler: Toby accidentally hits Jareth with it...]]
* GunNut: Stashed them all over the apartment complex in case of emergencies. Javert only wishes he could be surprised.
* NiceGuy: Is kind and smiley even in the face of the Zombie Apocalypse. He also seems to wish he and James could have worked things out and been friends despite his [[ActorAllusion uncanny resemblance to Will Turner]] getting in the way. Finally despite rooming with Sweeny putting him in physical danger and causing him mental stress more than once, he uses avoidance tactics instead of his exceptional combat skills to deal with it.
** While mentally annoyed at his father's racism towards dwarves (specifically Gimli), he grins and bears it.
* OurElvesAreBetter: He must be... he rooms with Sweeney.
** On the other hand, he does note to Jareth that he ''is'' from Mirkwood and is therefore not exactly the best-versed in healing arts. So not better at that.

* AnchoredShip: The one she has with Jareth. She is in denial and doesn't trust the guy at all (who blames her?).
* ArmorPiercingSlap: She is prone to communicate her displeasure this way [[spoiler:mostly to Jareth because you "CantArgueWithElves" anyway]].
* DamselOutOfDistress: Like Christine but she fights her way out of distressing situations instead of talking.
* BigSisterInstinct: Mostly for Toby. She could honest to goodness VerbalJudo the [[PapaWolf Erlkönig]] out of wanting to hurt the kid.
* BrainyBrunette: She is good in solving problems and general magical mess.
* CoolBigSis: For Toby.
* CuriosityIsACrapshoot: She repeatedly lampshades that she really shouldn't give in to her curiosity... and then does it anyway (to date it turned out mostly good for her).
* DeadpanSnarker: She has her moments.
* FunctionalGenreSavvy
* JustInTime: She has an A in dramatic timing.
* MoralityChain: It's implied that she is this for [[spoiler:Jareth]] and that his Dark Side would take over without her.
* TheNicknamer: The best example. She named Mrs. Norrington Mrs. N. after their first meeting, has some colorfull "nicknames" for Jareth (like Glittertwit) calls James Jamie, Christine Chris etc. not that bad considering that she isn't even member of the main cast.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: As currently stands all her supernatural problems can be traced back to her acts in the ''Kid!Jareth arc'' where she was basically just nice to a small child.
* SoapOperaRapidAgingSyndrome: She is inexplicably five or so years older than in her movie was.
* SympathyForTheDevil: At leat after the ''Dark!Jareth arc''. See ThisIsWrongOnSoManyLevels on the main page.
* TouchedByVorlons: Not the [[MarsNeedsWomen touching Jareth envisioned]], but She won ''special powers'' by interacting with TheFairFolk / [[ChessWithDeath besting the Labyrinth]]. She is mostly completely oblivious to them (or [[HowDoIShotWeb don't know how to use them]])... except the power of the ''[[WordsCanBreakMyBones monologue]]'' she is in complete control of that one.
* {{Tsundere}}: For Jareth. Even if she tries really hard to hide any ''dere'' side. Not that she successeds:
--> '''[[spoiler:Dark!]]Jareth''': "[[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-172-Villainy-217830784 Your words conflict- stay, go. Attend. Ignore. Help me. Abandon me. ...]]"
* WeirdnessMagnet: More than it's normal for the 'verse. She is the chosen of a powerful [[TheFairFolk fae]] and that makes her interesting for anything supernatural, also her ''special powers'' include very vivid dreams with direct connection to the more established {{Dream Land}}s. [[spoiler:(Like the Limbo from Film/{{Inception}}.)]]

* ArrangedMarriage: Her first marriage was this kind.
* CoolOldLady: Flirts with [[spoiler:FairFolk]], gives [[IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer candle talks]], knows all and dares all! And still can appear as the proper Irish lady.
* CovertPervert: Just read her Shovel Talk (mostly the part about the young couple's ''activities'' [[TooMuchInformation she doesn't want to know about]], but in her opinion doubtless exist), or check the 2011 [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Holiday-Special-2011-Mistletoe-Mischief-274888441 holiday special]] even if [[LecherousLicking her unique take]] on UnderTheMistletoe kiss has some distinct [[TheGadfly trolling]] vibes. Yes. It seems like this runs in the family.
* FunctionalGenreSavvy: She deduced Mr. King's ''[[TheFairFolk nationality]]'' just through {{Genre Savvy}}ness. (OK. Being [[{{Oireland}} Irish]] and knowing a bit about CelticMythology probably also helped).
** She also knows just what weapon to give Eponine before the girl enters the Underground: a ColdIron nail, which Mrs. N knows will stop any fae attacking her son's girlfriend quite easily.
* TheGadfly: She has [[ItAmusedMe a lot of fun]] messing with people. (Ashe outright calls her a {{Troll}})
* InSeriesNickname: She is Mrs. N. for the courageous.
* InterspeciesRomance: Bordering on DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu or DivineDate, depending on what we think about the guy's [[spoiler:(The Erlkönig)]] Eldrichness or Divineness and if we think about ''[[NightmareFuel/{{Roommates}} where]]'' he is featured.

[[spoiler:(Jareth's mother)]] Her court is Winter. No specialties are known yet but probably quite literally. In the [[SnowMeansDeath snow]], ice, [[EvilIsDeathlyCold merciless cold]] and [[LightIsNotGood blinding whiteness]] kinda way.

* AffectionateNickname: Can you believe that she has one?! [[spoiler:Because her ex-husband calls her ''[[Funny/{{Roommates}} my Snowflake]]''!]]
* BerserkButton: Mentioning the fact that she was defeated by children is ''not'' wise.
* [[spoiler:BigBad: In ''Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On''.]]
* CardCarryingVillain: She is evil, knows she is evil and [[EvilCannotComprehendGood doesn't see any use in love or anything like it]]... she sees his ex's attempts to give their son more normal motivations as [[LoveIsAWeakness weakness]]. If there is Evil [[WithACapitalT with a capital E]] around here she is it.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Why is this [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove love thing]] so important for her son anyway?
* EvilMatriarch: No wonder her son would do a whole lot to keep her away.
* AnIcePerson: [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-211-Bundled-271356167 Her son knows]].
* KnightOfCerebus: Not strictly a villain (even if she ''is'' the evilest character here) because the series is quite blurry on the concept but her (and her ex's) arrival marked the beginning of a lot darker stories.
* MightMakesRight: She believes this with all her heart... if she has one.
* WinterRoyalLady: As literally as it gets.
* WitchWithACapitalB: This insult is pretty much reserved for her. [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-133-Forsaken-184751515 Here]] it's the very first thing her ex says to her and also the first thing he says in the comic.

[[spoiler:(Jareth's father)]] His court specialites are [[TheLostWoods deep]] [[WildWilderness forets]] and ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight, he is also [[DarkIsNotEvil Summer]].

* AmbiguousSyntax: [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-Such-Stuff-as-Dreams-Are-Made-On-2-288145205 "My son and the girl he has chosen are both in residence"]] (in the building... he doesn't say in the same apartment, or that they are together...). And the [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-Such-Stuff-as-Dreams-Are-Made-On-2-288145205 "gift of mortality???"]]
* BadassCape: [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-Mist-and-Madness-217138534 See]] this is his trademark clothing. Can also turn {{Pimped Out|Cape}} and {{Impossibly Cool|Clothes}} if he wants it so (it will look like the night sky and defy gravity).
* TheBeastmaster: All of his minions seen to date were magical / shadow / animal / spirit things. [[spoiler:He can definitely use them as {{Animal Eye Spy}}s and he even [[BondCreatures lent their power to the cast]] in ''Such Stuff as Dreams Are Made On''.]]
* [[spoiler:BigBad / TricksterMentor: He was one of these in ''Such Stuff as Dreams Are Made On''... Not perfectly clear which but TricksterMentor is a bit more likely.]]
* BorrowedCatchphrase: He pretty much stole Jareth's "Such a pity.".
* CastingAShadow: He seems to possess the same shadow manipulating power his son does and more, as even some of his not directly darkness related magic works through this element. For example he can use shadows like a [[TeleportersAndTransporters transporter network]]. He also likes to invoke EmergingFromTheShadows.
* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:Finally awarded for his outstanding performance of XanatosSpeedChess in ''Such Stuff as Dreams Are Made On''.]] He plans for long and manipulates for fun and profit. He even has MagnificentBastard on YMMV.
* CreepyAwesome: He is on both the [[NightmareFuel/{{Roommates}} Nightmare Fuel]] (even his son calls him this in-universe) ''and'' the [[Heartwarming/{{Roommates}} Heartwarming]] subpage and also inspires a fair amount of {{Squee}} every time he appears.
* CrownOfHorns: He wears an (impossibly AwesomeButImpractical looking) antler crown.
* CrypticConversation: Likes to do this, just add his AmbiguousSyntax, love of the RuleOfSymbolism and being a FourthWallObserver and you will get the idea. Weirdly he is quite sincere and straightforward just cracking the ''code'' he is speaking isn't that easy.
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:For Jareth]] and in his defense, he was banished by Jadis with [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath THE monologue]].
* DreamWeaver: We didn't see much of his magic yet, but he can do this with high proficiency. [[spoiler:On perfect YourMindMakesItReal level, if you die in one of his {{Dream Land}}s he [[TheGrimReaper can even]] [[YourSoulIsMine claim your soul]].]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Even his own son isn't calling him anything else than the ''Erlkönig''.
* EvilParentsWantGoodKids: Not outright evil just [[BlueAndOrangeMorality morally challenged]], but he certainly tried to give his son more normal dreams and ambitions. But sadly his wife's idea of the perfect child was OverlordJr (and she [[SolomonDivorce won custody]]). [[spoiler:He still has [[XanatosSpeedChess a lot to do]] with the fact that for a member of TheFairFolk Jareth is [[ReluctantMonster positively cuddly]].]] See also IntriguedByHumanity and try not to think too hard about it.
* TheFairFolk: Well, we are talking about an old-school [[TheFairFolk fae]] from the time before {{Disneyfication}} that's for sure, but the same time he seems to have some [[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch interesting ideas]] concerning the importance of [[ThePowerOfLove some]] [[ThePowerOfFriendship human]] values (he freely admits that he [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove doesn't really know what love is]] but he can identify {{Power}} when he sees it).
* FemmeFatalons: In his fae form at least.
* FourthWallObserver: He seems to be almost as aware as the GO guys and is also DangerouslyGenreSavvy. He won't underestimate ThePowerOfLove but build on it!
* GlamourFailure: He has (slightly) pointy ears even in his human disguise, it's unknown if this is an actual failure an accident or he thought he looks cooler this way. (From his ringtone being ''Figlio Perduto'' probably the later.)
* TheGrimReaper / {{Psychopomp}}: He is A[[note]]There are several running around in the comic[[/note]] "Death Avatar".
* IntriguedByHumanity: It's maybe even a a [[DownplayedTrope mildcase]] of the TakeAThirdOption variety PinocchioSyndrome. As FourthWallObserver he sees pretty well what kind of fate ([[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin they]] [[EvilWillFail lose]]) his kind is doomed to because of their [[MightMakesRight oldschool]] [[AllTakeAndNoGive mentality]] and MostWritersAreHuman so he seems to be highly interested in humanity to find a way to change this (like getting access to the PowerOfLove and [[PowerOfFriendship Friendship]])... being extremely long lived, patient and alien this means no good for anybody in his way. See also EvilParentsWantGoodKids and shudder.
* InvisibleToNormals / InvisibleToAdults: The only adult characters who can see him if he doesn't want to be seen are the ones with TrueSight.
* KnightOfCerebus: Not strictly a villain because he doesn't have the outright malice for it and also the series is quite blurry on the concept but his (and his ex's) arrival marked the beginning of a lot darker stories.
* LargeHam: He is really over-dramatic and over-poetic but also kinda brooding and {{angst}}y at times (when he isn't being [[TallDarkAndSnarky Tall, Blond And Snarky]]). Also ChewingTheScenery is one of his favorite pastimes.
* LimitedWardrobe: Something he and his son doesn't have in common. He was seen in grand total of two (2) different outfits (his [[TwentyFourHourArmor fae armor]] and a [[AwesomeAnachronisticApparel "suit" that was probably fashionable around the 17th or 18th century]]).
* MasterOfOneMagic: He manipulates [[CastingAShadow dark]], [[DreamWeaver intangible]] and [[MasterOfIllusion deceitful]] forces in many ingenious ways, but things like WhiteMagic are outside of his domain.
* MonochromaticEyes: Dark Blue ones. At least according to the color illustrations of him.
* PapaWolf: Hurt his children and you're dead. Or [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment wish you were]].
* PowerCrystal: And even natural looking. This seems to be his equivalent of Jareth's CrystalBall so the MadeOfMagic physical representation of his spells.
* PublicDomainCharacter: Well he is from an oooold poem based on even older legends.
* PurpleIsPowerful / SupernaturalIsPurple: Purple is his second favorite color after (light) blue.
* RomancingTheWidow: He does. [[spoiler:James' mother.]] Appearently he prefers [[LikesOlderWomen older]] [[MarsNeedsWomen mortal]] women (more or less).
* SerialSpouse: It's implied that he had several exes in the course of his life. It's certain that he has two children from two different former relationships.
* TheShadowKnows: According to [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-Twilight-Waltz-308908496 this]] his glamour can slip this way.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler:He and his son [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} Jareth]] (even more so in his [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Dark]] form). They look alike, dress alike (PaintedOnPants / VillainousFashionSense), have similar modus operandi and even share a CatchPhrase or two... but no HereditaryHairstyle (Jareth has EightiesHair).]]
* SueDonym: Example bordering on LouisCypher with a dash of MrSmith. He uses the name ''[[SueDonym Lord Errol King]]'' or ''[[MrSmith Mr. King]]'' for short in his human disguise.
* TheTease: A rare heterosexual male example, as many readers put it the guy is a "bloody flirt"!
* [[TranslatorMicrobes Translator Spell]]: [[WordOfGod Word of Ashe]] that he doesn't speak any other language except the magical being's, but he still can communicate in English so he probably has a translation spell. He still speaks in a [[ForeignLookingFont runic looking font]] so probably still has an accent.
* WalkingWasteland: Only for the weak and sick, but prolonged exposure to him can be dangerous to health.
* TheWonka: Can appear as this. Incredibly powerful and awesome fae noble... as far as we can tell even his own kind questions his sanity (probably related to him being IntriguedByHumanity, amongst other things).
* WouldHurtAChild: His canon that he killed one. How much was it [[AndCallHimGeorge accident]], [[ObliviouslyEvil clulessness]] or [[TheoryOfNarrativeCausality narrative]] [[YouCantFightFate compulsion]] is up to debate, though. And he is still continuing the ''[[ChangelingTale babysitting]]'' tradition with varying success and probably mortality rate.
* YourDoorWasOpen: Other characters knock, he just appears in other's apartments. Can be justified by, well, he can teleport and was born before privacy was invented.

* AnimeHair: Maybe even ElementalHair given that she looks ''kinda'' [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-Mist-and-Madness-217138534 mist themed]], but it's not yet established.
* BadassPrincess: She can legitimately intimidate a magical mercenary with a ''[[PrecisionFStrike freaking]]'' [[ImprovisedWeapon hair pin]]! (And putting on her GameFace.)
* CombatHaircomb: As the BadassPrincess example shows she has this in the form of a hair pin as part of his human disguse at least.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: [[CaptainObvious Her hair matches her eyes]] and [[ExaggeratedTrope so do her clothes and make-up]].
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: What. She is the Erlkönig's daughter and what is a king's daughter?
* FacialMarkings: As it can be seen in the pictures she has some.
* TheFairFolk
* FemmeFatalons: When she wants to have them at least... as part of her GameFace for example.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple / TrueBlueFemininity: She prefers the misty colors of her eyes and hair and is a graceful fae lady. Maybe even a case of SupernaturalIsPurple.
* MasterOfDisguise: All fair ones can [[MasterOfIllusion disguise themselves]] as humans, but hers is the most convincing. She can even fool other fae.
* {{Monochromatic|Eyes}} PurpleEyes
* NamedByTheAdaptation: For a long time she was NoNameGiven / EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep. There was even a naming poll for her... Aisling won.
* PublicDomainCharacter: As with her father, her story is old.
* ShipperOnDeck: She wholeheartedly supports her brother and his chosen [[spoiler:so Jareth/Sarah]]. Threatening this pairing (or any people in it) is ''not'' wise around her.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: It's purplish blue, actually.
* YouthfulFreckles: In her human disguise instead of FacialMarkings.

(Part of Jareth's extended family)

* CourtMage: He doesn't seem to be actively part of Jareth's court but he still plays the role of a magical advisor enough to qualify as this. (Also makes sense if we consider what [[IneptMage kind of a mage]] he is and what [[HufflepuffHouse kind of court]] Jareth rules.)
* FunctionalGenreSavvy / MediumAwareness: He even warns Jareth that he is trying to defy the story.
* HopeIsScary: He remarks that hope is a cruel thing after his aforementioned talk with [[{{Determinator}} Jareth]].
* MrExposition: Well, he presented a WallOfText InfoDump about the history of the Goblin Monarchy. With this dethrowning the Doctor.

* TheCutie: At least when not in "dark" mood.
* HiddenEyes: When she is in her "dark" mood.

* MoodSwinger: Almost to the point of SplitPersonality. The visible effect of her inconsistent characterization.
* PublicDomainCharacter: And a person shaped lampshade of their the poor characterization consistency.
* SlasherSmile: Her signature smile in her "dark" periods.

(Jadis' "minion" or, according to [[WordOfGod Word of Ashe]], she is an independent contractor. Probably not ''that'' [[Theatre/SwanLake Odile]] but the alias fits.)

* ExpressiveHair: Same as her clothing later. And her [[ExpressiveEars Ears]].
* ExpressiveShirt: Her LeotardOfPower has small wing/feather like things that goes up or down with her mood.
* TheFairFolk: Quite probably. Has all the physical characteristics to qualify as a pure blooded fae in the series (namely: PointyEars and MonochromaticEyes) and called Jareth "one of us".
* FemmeFatale
* InvisibleToNormals: When she wants to, or at least the "You see me- How?" when she had the misfortune to run into Miss King suggests it strongly.
* LeotardOfPower: She wears one. Practices WaifFu. And it's also expressive.
* MasculineLinesFeminineCurves: A weird subversion. Ashe's style to draw women tends to be highly (many times impossibly) curvy and this didn't change but "Odile" also has a '''lot''' of sharp lines (more than most if not all male characters) which gives her a "living crystal" look.
* MistakenDeclarationOfLove / MagicKiss: [[spoiler:Seems like accepting "Odile"'s ''hand / answer'' when you're calling out for your true love [[{{Geas}} magically binds you]] to her.]]
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: [[WordOfGod Word of Ashe]] that she is a mercenary.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Odile" is a CodeName. We don't know her actual one.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Let's just say that she took that [[FryingPanOfDoom pan]] very personally, which isn't too professional for a mercenary. (For her misfortune she run into someone violently protective.)
* WaifFu: She is comparatively small and looks fragile but has uncanny (maybe magic enhanced) reflexes and fights barehanded... can fight three armed BadassNormal characters simultaneously without problem. Later revealed that they just stalled her, but it's still impressive.

* AllYourPowersCombined: He was formed by the hunters' and the main cast's [[spoiler:Shadow Beasts]] devouring eachother.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification
* CatchPhrase: [[ImNotAfraidOfYou I don't believe in you.]]
* CreepyChild: Let's just say that he is on the [[NightmareFuel/{{Roommates}} Nightmare Fuel]] page.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: He appeared fully clothed but barefoot. Maybe to signify that he is "down to earth" but don't read this as EarthyBarefootCharacter because he isn't more on the side of FlatEarthAtheist.
* IKnowWhatYouFear: He is the biggest thing any fictional being has to fear so obviously has this power.
* ImNotAfraidOfYou / TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: His main weapons. And from what he personifies you can bet those are [[MindRape weapons grade]].
** The effectiveness actually seems to be directly proportional to how much the target requires his [[IncrediblyLamePun suspension]]. [[spoiler:WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief.]] An "[[ImNotAfraidOfYou I don't believe in you.]]" was enough to knock out mythical and fairy tale beings, "based on a true story" types lasted a longer but given the series' tendencies to {{Transfictionality}} [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou he probably even has effect on real people]].

* AmbiguousGender: At least. [[PronounTrouble (S)he]] could be perfectly [[NoBiologicalSex genderless]] as far as we know.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification
* BeCarefulWhatYouSay: ...he might be listening. Direct example: [[spoiler:On page 310 James said: "...scorn to change my place with kings." cue ''Kings War'' half a year later. Let's test that scorning, shall we?]] The Living Words is a {{jerkass}}.
* CheshireCatGrin: You know what is even less trustworthy than a smile like this? One that reads "Sacrifice" or "Tragedy".
* TheChooserOfTheOne: '''The''' chooser. (S)he says who can be a hero and who can't no matter how much they may try, period.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: At least [[WordOfDante the Hungarian translator claims]] that the Living Words is deliberatelly messing with her work, and she also blames him/her/it for comment posting errors (especially if the comment in question contained any argument against the Living Words').
* InvisibleToNormals: (S)he seems to be only seen if he wants to be seen.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: (S)he apparently operates like [[Characters/DoctorWhoAliensAndMonsters The Silence]]. Which means you forget him/her, or at least (s)he fades in the background of your memory, when you look away.
* ManipulativeBastard: Use a child's curiosity, or a goblin's innocence to invoke the RuleOfDrama? Sure thing.
* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: He is one.
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: This is a comic in fairly lifelike {{animesque}}. Now He/She/It looks like a collection of scribbles in a vaguely humanoid shame (if you can make out words, those are probably plot important to boot), which is a jarring change.
* WaxingLyrical: There are pages where (s)he consists of nothing else than the lyrics of various songs.
* WildCard: The "ItAmusedMe" [[spoiler: and/or the [[YouBastard audience]]]] type to boot. (S)he can help or hinder anybody for basically any imaginable "[[RuleOfIndex Rule Of...]]" trope especially the RuleOfDrama.

* BondCreatures: They can act like this. [[spoiler:The Erlkönig lent their power to the cast in ''Such Stuff as Dreams Are Made On''.]] They share their motifs and can turn their ''partners'' into an {{Animal Themed Superbeing}}s.
* LivingShadow: Can appear as these if they aren't granted full autonomy (or are bound to people if you wish) so overlaps with TheShadowKnows.
* MonochromaticEyes: [[spoiler:Can also happen to their partners if they channel their knowledge or power.]]
* PureMagicBeing: They are literally made of [[HardLight tangible]] [[CastingAShadow shadows]].
* ShadowArchetype: Seems like (if the beginning of ''TheWildHunt arc'' is any indication, [[spoiler:where Jareth summons them as to be EnemyWithout prey]]) they are literally this, summoned by CastingAShadow from people's shadows in a form that represents their inner darkness.
