History Characters / TheCryOfMann

* NoShirt,LongJacket: Wears a long black coat over... well, nothing.

* HearingVoices: When Gergiev plants an orange tooth in Jack's ear, he begins hearing voices, which becomes the main method of how callers interact with Jack. [[spoiler: During a flashback to Jouglat in the war getting treated for his injuries, he begins hearing callers in his mind, believing to be having an out-of-body experience.]]

* DemonicPosession: After being taken to the church, he's put through a painful possession process, becoming controlled by Vid's demon friend. Of course, despite the demon acting ''nothing'' like the usual soldier Durkin, only Glintz-Terry initially realizes there's something going on.

* BigEater: Seems to always have food on her, which she'll snack on while watching the Mann family drama. It eventually paid off, as she had food in her bag for [[spoiler:Jouglat to eat after he died]].d

* ItsAllAboutMe: He only really cares about himself and his social status; Ghost Lady even points out that he's a terrible communicator, and isn't even listening to her responses to his uninvited monologue. [[spoiler:It turns out this was just due to his obsession with his presentation; after he dies, he's much more cooperative, and even offers to help Ghost Lady.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Acts very strangely after his kidnapping, including being confused when Glintz-Terry uses his "Durkin me around" line- which immediately strikes Glintz-Terry as strange.

* SinisterMinister: PlayedWith; Vid is a shady priest with mysterious plans, that involve kidnapping soldier Durkin and conspiring with callers...but he doesn't ''want'' to do evil. In fact, he believes he's doing good.

* GoodIsNotNice: Prince is far from evil; he cares about the safety of his teammates, tries to follow the rules, and acts mostly in the interest of surviving the warr at any cost. That said, he's also rude, temperamental, aggressive, and quick-to-argue, which makes him unpopular with the others. This only gets worse [[spoiler:after becomes leader, where his impulsive fury makes him send three innocents to an execution...all on the basis that they apparently threatened his teammate.]]

* MurderIsTheBestSolution: He outright begs to kill the prisoner, reasoning that keeping them alive is wasting time, energy, and resources, and they aren't getting any information otherwise. Despite this, Gravesite denies the request. [[spoiler:When he becomes the new captain, he's able to enact all the execution sentences he wants.]]

* MurderIsTheBestSolution: He outright begs to kill the prisoner, reasoning that keeping them alive is wasting time, energy, and resources, and they aren't getting any information otherwise. Despite this, Gravesite denies the request.

* TrueCompanions: Jack develops this relationship with his callers, who he believes to be a single person named Palmer [[note]] previously named Katie, but Palmer is the longer-lasting name[[/note]]. He repeatedly calls "Palmer" his best friend, thanking him for being there for him. For the caller's part, they do their best to support Jack in his art, try to calm him down, and even show their loyalty for him by "pledging allegiance" and helping him insult Berry, even when they felt guilty doing so.

* ItsAllAboutMe: He only really cares about himself and his social status; Ghost Lady even points out that he's a terrible communicator, and isn't even listening to her responses to his uninvited monologue.
* LargeHam: Overreacts to almost everything, and shouts constantly; in-universe, this only serves to startle or annoy the other characters.

* GoodIsNotNice: Prince is far from evil; he cares about the safety of his teammates, tries to follow the rules, and acts mostly in the interest of surviving the warr at any cost. That said, he's also rude, temperamental, aggressive, and quick-to-argue, which makes him unpopular with the others.

The old, wise leader of the soldiers, as well as a playwright.

* WarriorPoet: In addition to leading the soldiers, he's also writing a play.

A pair of sisters traveling with the soldiers and trying to hide their personal secret from them. Mabel is serious, distrusting and careful, while Ashes is more flirtatious and risk-taking.

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Mabel's the responsible sibling, who tries to protect both herself and Ashes from the soldiers, who she doesn't trust or care for. Even after she [[spoiler:falls for Glintz-Terry]], she refuses to take action and thinks of herself as being naive. Ashes is the foolish sibling, who chooses to flirt with soldier Durkin and shows no fear when dealing with the other soldiers, a mentality that Mabel chastises as being too foolish and dangerous.

* SinisterMinister: A shady priest with mysterious plans, plans that involve kidnapping soldier Durkin and conspiring with callers.

* {{Adorkable}}: He's a kind, sweet, and awkwardly dorky fellow, who doesn't really fit-in with the other soldiers. In-universe, this attitude certainly works on the girls, who take a quick liking to him, despite Mabel not even trusting soldiers as a general rule.
