Not An Example. This means the guy's shown clothed either during sex or right after. We see them both take off their clothes, while they're clothed later. That isn't too bad-it gets cold in the woods at night. Tomboy And Girly Girl is a trope for two characters too so I don't think it goes on their individual pages.


* RightThroughHisPants: After Talon and Zed have sex, they're both shown sleeping fully clothed in the morning after. Particularly puzzling since we actually see them stripping off their clothes while making love, with Talon being shown with ToplessnessFromTheBack before a SexyDiscretionShot occurs.



* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Talon is the tomboy, dressing in masculine clothing and having trained to fight. Gwynn on the other hand is a ProperLady who's in a dress habitually and has traditional female manners. Though not a fighter, Gwynn is also a strong women in her way and becomes less girly in time, putting on armor and wielding a sword by the end of season one. Both get along well and complement one another.

->Played by: Jessica Green
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/talon3.jpg]]

----
* ActionGirl: She's a superb fighter, with swords, knives and her bare hands.
* AlienBlood: Talon's blood is as black as ink. In fact her people are known as 'Blackbloods'.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl
* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Her father is left unmentioned in the show.
* BadassInDistress: Talon, on several occasions, is taken prisoner by Marshal Withers, the Greyskins, or the Prime Order, and has to fight her way free.
* BathtubScene: Talon has one in "The Mistress and the Worm", when Gwynn invites her to dinner at her house and insists she clean up beforehand.
* BoobsOfSteel: Talon is pretty buxom, and also a highly skilled fighter, by far the most deadly of the main female characters.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: When Talon confronts Toru Magmoor, he sighs in a bored tone that "it sounds like vengeance, then." As he faces her, he just shrugs to ask "so who was it?" indicating he's more than used to people seeking revenge for those he's murdered.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Talon's mother, brother and everyone else who lived in their village were murdered, while her father was absent for some reason, so she's left free to go on adventures.
* {{Demihuman}}: Blackbloods look visually indistinguishable from humans except for having pointed ears with black tips and, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin black blood]].
* DisappearedDad: Talon's father isn't shown in the flashbacks of her early life. It's unclear if he was dead, left or simply off somewhere when the mercenaries came and killed everyone in the village.
* DoomedHometown: The Blackblood village Talon was born in was completely destroyed.
* TheDrifter: Has spent most of her life since the massacre on the move.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Talon, Garrett and Janzo are on a mission to find a book in a cavern that's been burned. Garrett muses on how "if they can go to that much trouble to burn a book, surely, he'd go through just as much trouble" to kill Talon. Talon asks [[spoiler:"what, send an army?" Instantly, all three get looks of horror as they realize the Outpost is in serious danger.]]
* GoodParents: From what little's shown, Talon's birth mother was a kind, devoted parent.
* GodzillaThreshhold: With a Prime Order army about to overrun the outpost, Talon [[spoiler:opens up a portal and allows the other Blackbloods and the Lu'quiri to cross over so they can aid in the fight. They win but it immediately backfires on Talon.]]
* HalfHumanHybrid: Janzo reads in a book that Blackbloods were created by humans and Lu'quiri mating. Talon scoffs at the notion, saying a human would never survive a sexual encounter with them, as they're huge insect-like beings.
* HappilyAdopted: Talon, after losing her birth parents, found kind human ones who took her in.
* HealingFactor: As a Blackblood, Talon is able to survive multiple stab wounds to the stomach and a few days later the wounds have healed.
* HideHerOtherness: As a child, Talon cut off the tips of her pointy ears in order to blend in with human society after her village's massacre.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Talon gets run through by Toru Magmoor with a sword and the Lu'quiri with its claw, though she's tougher than ordinary mortals and manages to kill Magmoor the same way in return.
* JustFriends: With Janzo. After Janzo was pretty obvious about his crush on Talon and jealousy towards Garret throughout the first season (and Talon was well aware of it), there's a scene with a rather cruel misunderstanding in the last episode that serves as definite ShipSinking, with Talon telling Janzo that he's a better man than Garret but that she "loves him like a brother". To his credit, Janzo takes this rejection remarkably gracefully - especially considering he was already stressed and crying with severe pain at the time, and that Talon had just [[spoiler:kissed him, to momentarily distract him from said pain.]]
* LastOfHisKind: Talon is the only survivor of her village, and is believed to be the only Blackblood left alive. Subverted by Season 2, which reveals that there are other Blackbloods living in the Plane of Ash with the Lu'quiri.
* MissingMom: Talon's mother was killed by mercenaries the Prime Order hired for the purge of Blackbloods.
* MixedAncestry: It's said in the second season that Talon isn't a "pure" Blackblood, though how this is known or the reason (perhaps her unseen father was human?) is not explained.
* OurElvesAreBetter: The Blackbloods have the requisite pointy ears,note have black blood, are stronger than humans and can survive injuries that would kill a regular person.
* ParentalAbandonment: Talon's father's absence is unexplained. Her mother was murdered. [[TraumaCongaLine As if that weren't enough]], she's adopted by a human family, and they are slaughtered by Varek (a Blackblood who hates humans).
* {{Revenge}}: Talon wants to avenge her family and people by killing those who wiped them out. After learning that Toru Magmoor was a mercenary involved, she kills him, and escapes the punishment due to Gwynn's intervention. Then later she also kills another mercenary who helped, Tiberion Shek. On defeating Dred, who is with the Prime Order which started the genocide, she tries to kill him too before Gwynn stops it.
* RightThroughHisPants: After Talon and Zed have sex, they're both shown sleeping fully clothed in the morning after. Particularly puzzling since we actually see them stripping off their clothes while making love, with Talon being shown with ToplessnessFromTheBack before a SexyDiscretionShot occurs.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Talon has made it her life’s purpose to hunt down and kill the men who slaughtered her family.
* SexyDiscretionShot: Used in "There Will Be a Reckoning", when Talon and Zed sleep together. They both kiss and start to take off their clothes, when the camera cuts away to them cuddling together in morning after.
* ShouldersUpNudity: In "The Mistress and the Worm", when Talon takes off her filthy clothes to take a bath, the camera stays above her shoulders.
* SoleSurvivor: After the massacre of her people, Talon is the last living Blackblood. Subverted when Season 2 reveals that there are more imprisoned alongside the Lu'quiri.
* SummonMagic: This turns out to be the power Talon has (and Blackbloods generally). She's able to invoke and banish the Lu'quiri (most people call them demons), although it's difficult to master (the latter especially) and they must obey her when she speaks in her language.
* SympatheticMurderer: He may have [[AssholeVictim amply deserved this]], but Talon killing Toru Magmoor was murder. The show still portrays her as being in the right, with Withers being wrong for trying to get her executed (granted, he doesn't give her [[KangarooCourt anything like a fair trial]]).
* [[ThisIsUnforgivable This Is Unforgivable!]]/[[RevengeBeforeReason Revenge Before Reason]]: For the "crime" of using his newfound MindControl powers to save her from a grey skin, Talon (over)reacts by telling Zed how he "betrayed" her. A duel ensues which ends with him being pushed through a portal back to the Plane of Ash, supposedly [[PutOnABus never to be seen again]]. Of course, it didn't help that Zed had lied about knowing what his Kinge power was. Or that his first reaction to Talon's anger was to try and ''mind control her into calming down''.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Talon is the tomboy, dressing in masculine clothing and having trained to fight. Gwynn on the other hand is a ProperLady who's in a dress habitually and has traditional female manners. Though not a fighter, Gwynn is also a strong women in her way and becomes less girly in time, putting on armor and wielding a sword by the end of season one. Both get along well and complement one another.
* ToplessnessFromTheBack: Used when Talon takes off her shirt to sleep with Zed. He even brushes her hair away, seemingly to [[MaleGaze give the viewer a better view]].
* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Talon eventually admits that killing everyone responsible for her family's deaths didn't make her feel any better.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Talon has striking blue eyes, which is commented on in the series. In fact, Wolf says it's part of the reason he stopped himself from killing her.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In season 2, Garrett [[spoiler:is subjected to a combination of torture, a "[[FlorenceNightingaleEffect kindly nurse]]" seducing him and trickery to be convinced Rosmund is not the true Queen, Talon is a monster and he has to destroy them both for the Prime Order. He even stabs Withers to prove his new loyalty.]]
* CavalryOfficer:Tthe dashing Captain of the Border Guard who makes his debut coming to Talon's rescue.
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Is seemingly killed by Dred in the Season 2 premiere, but it's revealed two episodes later that while the wound he received was serious, he was taken to healing fast enough to be saved.]]

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Just as he's about to kill Gwynn, Garrett (off the drug that had been affecting his mind) realizes how the entire "false queen" story was a trick by the Prime Order to use him against his love.

** [[spoiler:Garrett tries to sway Janzo to his side by telling him how Gwynn is a false queen and the Prime Order will lock Janzo up for aiding her. Janzo clearly sees Garrett is not in his right mind and by this point, barely cares about any threats on his life with all he's been through.]]

->Played by: Imogen Waterhouse
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s1_gwynn_poster2.jpg]]

----
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Invoked when Naya tries to warn Gwynn the Prime Order have what are basically explosive bombs. She doesn't believe it but Janzo argues she's telling the truth.
-->'''Gwynn''': It's more like a fairy tale conjured up to frighten children.\\
'''Janzo''': What, like Plaguelings? Or demons? Or a portal that opens up to new worlds?\\
'''Gwynn''': Point taken.
* BathtubScene: Gwynn herself has one in the Season 2 premiere while discussing strategy with Naya.
* BluffTheImposter: Invoked when Gwynn's long-thought dead brother Alton arrives at the Outpost, claiming to have been hidden in secret like Gwynn was. Over lunch, Gwynn brings up a tale of a cat they used to tease with Alton correcting her it was a dog with a different name. He also is able to bring up other things they did as children to convince Gwynn of who he is. [[spoiler:Turns out he is actually the royal maid's son and was thus witness to all those events. The real Alton is dead.]]
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Gwynn's [[spoiler:foster]] father is killed, right as she takes up her role as a hero too.
* DisappearedDad: Gwynn's [[spoiler:adopted]] father is killed by Dred.
* DisappointedByTheMotive: Gwynn assumes [[spoiler:Sammy was posing as Alton as some sort of revenge for how he was the one punished for Alton's actions and how he lived with nothing so becoming king was payback. She's outraged to realize this was about him conning her out of some gold for a fake mission.]]
* DrowningMySorrows: After Garret is [[spoiler:reportedly]] killed, Gwynn starts to drink and gamble frequently while not occupied with her duties.
* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:After he reveals her true parentage, Calkussar tells Gwynn that she probably shouldn't call him her father anymore. However, she replies that he raised, protected and sacrificed everything for her, so he's her father and will always be, which clearly touches Calkussar.]]
* HiddenBackupPrince: [[spoiler:She is the rightful queen, who'd been kept hidden by a lord who switched her with his own daughter (she was beheaded).]]
* TheHighQueen: [[spoiler:Grows into this when she's shown to be the late king's heir. She's regal, calm and lovely, though still struggling at times with the weight of her new responsibilities.]]
* ImpededCommunication: Gwynn's attempts to summon aid against an advancing army are marred as the enemy archers expertly cut down every one of the carrier birds.
* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Gwynn's birth parents (i.e. the king and queen) were killed in her childhood by the Prime Order, who overthrew her father. Her adopted father is later murdered too.]]
* ProperlyParanoid: Gwynn reveals that [[spoiler:as much as she wanted to believe Alton was alive, she had to doubt in his story until she could prove he was an imposter.]]
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:She's actually the rightful heir to the throne.]]
* RoyalBlood: [[spoiler:Turns out to be a princess.]]

[[folder:Janzo]]
->Played by: Anand Desai-Barochia
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s1_janzo_poster4.jpg]]

----
* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: His father is left unmentioned in the show.
* AmbiguousDisorder: At first it seems like Janzo is pretty far on the autism spectrum (his unusual body language and avoidance of looking people in the eye), but then he later shows quite deep insight into other people's feelings. So, who knows. But he's definitely much more awkward in his social interactions than neurotypical people generally are.
* DidYouActuallyBelieve: Said verbatim by Janzo when [[spoiler:Naya reveals herself as TheMole to save her captive family. He openly asks if she actually thought the Prime Order was ever going to let them go when they can use them to keep Naya's loyalty and even suggests they're already dead.]]
* DisappearedDad: Janzo doesn't mention his father. Since [[DeathByChildbirth his mother died giving birth to him]], he likely doesn't know. He was probably born out of wedlock as otherwise The Mistress wouldn't have adopted him.
* ForcefulKiss: Janzo tries to do this with Talon, on Naya's advice. She throws him to the ground. Gwynn points out to her this is a bad idea, and likely would get Janzo's arm broken or worse if he keeps it up.
* GrewASpine: Janzo starts the series as an Extreme Doormat, but by the end of the first season isn't afraid to stand up to anyone.
* JustFriends: With Talon. After Janzo was pretty obvious about his crush on Talon and jealousy towards Garret throughout the first season (and Talon was well aware of it), there's a scene with a rather cruel misunderstanding in the last episode that serves as definite ShipSinking, with Talon telling Janzo that he's a better man than Garret but that she "loves him like a brother". To his credit, Janzo takes this rejection remarkably gracefully - especially considering he was already stressed and crying with severe pain at the time, and that Talon had just [[spoiler:kissed him, to momentarily distract him from said pain.]]
* LoveAtFirstSight: Janzo tells Talon he's loved her since the moment he saw her.
* MissingMom: Janzo's mom died while giving birth to him.
* NoSocialSkills: Janzo is quite socially awkward, having a great reluctance to meet people's eyes at first, standing hunched over, and has little knowledge of how to interact with people, let alone romantically approach them. Naya in Season 2 tries to help him get more adept.
* SurpriseIncest: [[spoiler:Janzo is horrified to discover that his love interest who he just finished making out with is actually his long lost twin sister. Naya doesn't take it much better.]]
* TokenMinority
* UnexpectedVirgin: Garret expresses surprise when Janzo says he's never been with a woman (though given his social awkwardness, it isn't too odd).

* AccidentalMurder: Wythers accidentally [[NeckSnap Neck Snaps]] [[spoiler:Gwynn's handmaiden]] while trying to prevent her from exposing his illegal search of [[spoiler:Gwynn's room]].
* BlackmailBackfire: Wythers tries to hold up how he has letters proving [[spoiler:Rosmund's true identity that will go to the Prime Order "in the event of my untimely death." Rosmund simply states that he'll still be alive...and working in the lowest levels of the mines.]]
* DefiantToTheEnd: Even when on the verge of being hanged by the Prime Order, Wythers and the Mistress can't help but mock Higgs' incompetence.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Marshal Wythers would love nothing more than have Talon executed but he refuses to hand her over to the Prime Order. He even suggests that him executing her would be the more merciful option.
* HopeSpot: In "The Vex Rezicon", [[spoiler:Wythers and the Mistress lead an uprising against the Prime Order's occupation force... and are promptly ambushed and slaughtered, due to Dred's mole tipping him off.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: Marshal Withers may be an asshole, but as Commander Calkussar is forced to admit, Talon is actually guilty of murdering Toru Magmoor and executing her ''will'' avoid a level of scrutiny from the Prime Order that nobody in town wants. [[spoiler:And in the end, it does lead to the Prime Order coming to the outpost in force.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:When Wythers is sentenced to the mines, he quickly discovers it's filled with scores of criminals that he had sent there, all of whom are eager to get some payback.]]
* TheSheriff: Is the judge, jury, and executioner in Gallwood Outpost.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His surname gets spelled as both "Withers" and "Wythers".
* ToughLove: Wythers tried to do this with his older son. After he was caught committing theft, Wythers sent him down to the mine as punishment, which was just to be a few days. However, it went wrong as the other prisoners Withers sent there recognized his son, beating him to death.

She lampshades it between last breaths where she also tells of the escape tunnels that allow the heroes to stop the Prime Order army.]]
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: During the climatic fight in the Season 2 finale, the Mistress decides to grab all the outpost's gold and sneak away in the chaos while no one's looking... until she sees a Prime Order soldier about to kill Janzo.

* MentorOccupationalHazard: [[spoiler:Sacrificed his honor and his family to protect Princess Rosmund and has been raising her to seize back her throne, is killed by Ambassador Dred for ''suspected'' disloyalty ([[ProperlyParanoid he's right]], but it was still for little more than [[DisproportionateRetribution being unreliable in delivering supplies to the Prime Order]]).]]
* OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler:Commander Calkussar allowed his own daughter to be executed in place of Princess Rosmund, who assumed Gwynn's identity.]]
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: [[spoiler:Commander Calkussar forbids Gwynn/Rosmund and Garret's love affair since he's a commoner and she's the heir to the throne. In the season one finale she drags him to bed with her, since, being the queen, she gets to make the rules about who she can love.]]
* {{Turncoat}}: Commander Calkussar is infamous as the captain of the royal guard who opened the palace doors to the Prime Order and betrayed his king. Marshal Withers in particular has a very low opinion of him because of it. The truth is actually much more complicated.
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:Commander Calkussar never betrayed his king. Everything he did was ordered by the king who saw that the Prime Order were about to win so hatched a plan to preserve the royal line. Calkussar sacrificed his honor and his family to bring this plan to fruition.]]

* NarniaTime: Rebb explains that the reason she looks just the same despite last being in the normal world over three hundred years ago is because time works differently in the Plane of Ashes. There's no sun or moon, and thus no way to really measure it anyway for them.
* OurElvesAreBetter: The Blackbloods have the requisite pointy ears,note have black blood, are stronger than humans and can survive injuries that would kill a regular person.

* CassandraTruth: Naya is hit by this when she tries to warn about the bombs in the season 2 finale. Not only is she a known traitor but the idea of devices that can unleash fire to destroy walls seems too much to believe. Janzo points out that Naya's story is likely true for the simple reason that it's so outlandish that "why would the Prime Order feed her a story they know no one would believe?"

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: While it appeared that [[spoiler:Sammy (the fake Alton) was just a greedy coward, when he hears the Prime Order is coming, rather than run, he offers to fight with the soldiers. He proves himself in combat, saving Gwynn's life and taking a nasty stabbing himself.]]

* AssholeVictim: Toru Magmoor was such an evil piece of work that most people in the outpost who knew him are happy when Talon kills him.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: When Talon confronts Toru Magmoor, he sighs in a bored tone that "it sounds like vengeance, then." As he faces her, he just shrugs to ask "so who was it?" indicating he's more than used to people seeking revenge for those he's murdered.
* TheCanKickedHim: A close variant: Toru Magmoor is peeing in an alley when Talon catches up with him, and coolly asks her to at least wait until he's finished before trying to kill him (rightly suspecting [[ButForMeItWasTuesday she's trying to avenge one of the very many people he's killed]]).
* CouldntFindAPen: After Talon mortally wounds Toru Magmoor, he spends his last moments using his own blood to spell out a message to the Prime Order revealing that there's still one Blackblood left.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Talon gets run through by Toru Magmoor with a sword and the Lu'quiri with its claw, though she's tougher than ordinary mortals and manages to kill Magmoor the same way in return.

* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: The Season 2 finale sees a huge Prime Order army laying siege to the outpost.
* BigBad: Season 2 has [[BigBadDuumvirate The Three]], Dred's superiors and the apparent [[GodEmperor God Emperors]] of the Prime Order.
* CrystalDragonJesus: The Prime Order has many similarities to Christianity in what's seen of their religion. First of all, the Three (a trio of people-two male, one female) are believed to be divine beings, and wear robes very similar to the ones Catholic bishops have, along with miters. They have many powers, including an ability to raise the dead. Not only that, but they even appear to have a cross symbol (although it may just be the design of the window slits in one room). Given they are villains, the darker side is also present-they conduct purges of Blackbloods (whom they believe to be inherently evil) plus people who know a language they use, since it might cast doubt on their teaching. Also, the sect appears to have Inquisition-like members, plus having strict bans on drinking, gambling or extramarital sex, as some conservative Christians have enforced.
* FacelessGoons: Prime Order soldiers wear helmets with their visors habitually down (it allows impersonation by their enemies of course).
* TheFundamentalist: The Prime Order are violent religious fanatics who have set up a [[TheTheocracy theocracy]] which forbids alcohol, extramarital sex and gambling with very harsh punishments. Additionally, they have committed genocide against the Blackbloods, believing them to be evil. Other ethnic groups are also mentioned as being purged, likely due to similar beliefs they hold.
* GodEmperor: The Three, the joint rulers of the Prime Order, are viewed as divine by their underlings.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In the Season 2 finale, the Prime Order army besieging the outpost is defeated when [[spoiler:Garrett causes their huge bomb to go off prematurely, killing them all and sparing the defenders]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: A lot of the Prime Order's officials don't abide by their rules. Dred has no tolerance for this, ordering one he catches in bed with a woman to hang (alongside her). As [[YourCheatingHeart they aren't married]].
* StraightEdgeEvil: The Prime Order forbids alcohol, drug use, prostitution, and gambling. While some members break the rules or are lax in enforcing this, Dred takes it very seriously.
* TheTheocracy: Fourteen years before the start of the series, a religious group known as the Prime Order overthrew the monarchy and assume total control of the realm.
* YouHaveFailedMe: For failing to both stop the blossoming rebellion at the Outpost or kill Talon, Dred is punished by The Three by being stripped of his rank and imprisoned.
