[[folder:Members]]
* {{Angrish}}: Most of the forum is very guilty of this.
** Key examples include: Velvien, when his Diamondbacks are losing and Blue Paladin, when too hyper under Relentless.
* BerserkButton: Velvien hates netplay lag.
** Mentioning any of the Murakumo units in an even slightly negative light around [=GyppyGirl2021=] will result in UnstoppableRage. Most notably, misinterpretations of their character.
** Jin_K for pretty much the same reason, except about Litchi instead.
* BigEater: For whatever reason, Velvien is almost always hungry.
* BlackComedy: Lorn, who adores this form of comedy, often to the point of provoking repugnance in others.
* ButtMonkey: Musashi is often picked on by other members of the forum for being slow at posting and a general goofy fanboy. [[{{Tsundere}} They all still love him, though.]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Bonesy. Ironically, he and [[OnlySaneMan Velvien]] are good friends.
** Queenofdissent, Velvien's sister, who sticks entirely to the Miscellaneous boards and knows very little of VideoGame/BlazBlue
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Goddamn it Bonesy" is the forum classic.
** "Posted" - Everyone
* {{Cover Identity Anomaly}}: When MaesLawliet and Gleam took each others identities, Maes not only consistently forgot to properly punctuate his sentences the way Gleam normally does but also changed his display name to one that Gleam hadn't been using before the switch.
* DysfunctionJunction
* FiveManBand: The main group of the forum.
** TheHero: Velvien
** TheLancer: 3To3dSl0th
** TheSmartGuy: Bonesy and Gleam, albeit in very different ways
** TheHeart / TheBigGuy: Smitejr
** TheChick: [=GyppyGirl2021=]
** TagalongKid: [=GWA=]. Easily the youngest member of the forum.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Gleam is often... [[JerkAss not the nicest of people]], but he can be genuinely helpful and will attempt to correct himself if he knows he's screwed up.
* LargeHam: Nearly everyone has their moments, but Blue Paladin and Musashi are the most evident.
* TheLeader: Velvien, type II
* LesYay: [=GyppyGirl2021=] is a self-proclaimed lesbian for Nu and Noel.
* LovableSexManiac: [=GyppyGirl2021=], Gleam, even Velvien himself. There's a reason the NSFW forum exists and it's linked to the reason why those three posters have almost triple the amount of posts than anyone else on the entire forum.
** Half the forumers are probably this, to an extent. [[CovertPervert Though some are much less likely to admit it.]]
* {{Moe}}: The user Litchi Faye-Ling/Abby. Also, Hazama (Takoto), and Relius [=(WhiteKeaton)=].
** [=NorseFTX=] can be added to this list as well.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Arguably Bonesy.
* OldShame: Gyppy was once known as an extremely obsessive VideoGame/TalesSeries fangirl, especially about yaoi and VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny2, especially Judas. However, right now she's past that and is very ashamed of that one 'self'.
* OnlySaneMan: Velvien, occasionally. [=MaesLawliet=] and Smitejr can qualify as well.
* {{OTP}}: A few cases, most notably Velvien's [[CrackPairing Ragna x Tsubaki]].
** OT3: Gyppy's [[BrotherSisterIncest "Rag]][[LesYay nu]]el". And to a lesser extent, Velvien's "Ragnubaki".
** [[NoodleIncident Tager x Duck]]
* PetTheDog: Literal example. Gyppy is often seen doting on, talking to, petting or [[PokeThePoodle annoying]] her dog Cocoa.
** Mostly annoying, according to Gyppy herself.
* RedOniBlueOni: Many examples. Hell, pretty much the entire forum can be divided as such.
* TenMinuteRetirement: Blue Paladin vowed to leave the forum forever...until the Tuesday after.
** Recently, Velv and Gyppy have also taken to doing this. Gyppy on a fairly regular basis.
* TheSleepless: Most members of the forum
* TheVoiceless: [=MaesLawliet=] is the voice of them apparently.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Velvien sure loves his salmon. And Drumsticks.
** He'd argue that it's Starburst jellybeans, actually.
** We all know it's actually Pizza Hut pizzas. Large. Eaten whole, along with whole orders of breadsticks... Okay, maybe he just likes Pizza Hut.
[[/folder]]

* SuperOCD: Actorverse!Relius [[BerserkButton loses it]] if his bookshelf is unorganized. Something that Ignis takes advantage of.

* TheMeanBrit: Completely averted by MaesLawliet and Blue Paladin

* WhatIf: While naturally the entire forum is this, Alteramentum takes it UpToEleven. Ragna and Jin swap plot position and weapons, [[BloodKnight Azrael]] is the leader of Sector Seven, [[OriginalCharacter Rust]] doesn't drop out of the Academy and falls for Tsubaki, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Makoto's attire is incredibly conservative]], and that's just the start.

** BiTheWay: However, she also likes Ragna and Hakumen.

** OT3: Gyppy's [[BrotherSisterIncest "Rag]][[LesYay nu]][[BiTheWay el"]]. And to a lesser extent, Velvien's "Ragnubaki".

* MindScrew: [=GWA's=] OC in Interim, Shisuru, talks in a very odd manner and classifies ''everything'' with seemingly random class names. Just trying to have a conversation with the guy can be grating, and when he tries to explain why he called [[FireEmblem Ilyana]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext Class Cow]], she and [[OriginalCharacter Micah]] are unable to comprehend what he said. Ilyana even passes out at one point.

* FiveBadBand: While the bad guys aren't very well-organized (especially the [=OC's=]), they can be seen as this.
** BigBadDuumvirate: [[MarionetteMaster Relius]] [[ArchnemesisDad Clover]] and [[FauxAffablyEvil Hazama]]/[[{{Troll}} Terumi]] [[ComplexityAddiction Yuuki]].
** TheDragon: [[spoiler: Saya, in a sense]]
** EvilGenius: [[OriginalCharacter Belioz]] [[WickedCultured Mutsuki]]
** TheBrute: [[OriginalCharacter Erk]] [[EgomaniacHunter Urial]]
** TheDarkChick: [[OriginalCharacter Orpheus]] [[DittoFighter Xenos]] and [[DarkMagicalGirl Phantom]]
** SixthRangerTraitor: [[spoiler: Litchi, Nu, and most likely Tsubaki as well.]]
* FiveManBand: At the moment:
** TheHero: [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Ragna]]
** TheLancer: [[HeelFaceTurn Jin]]
** TheSmartGuy: [[BadassBookworm Tsubaki]]
** TheBigGuy: [[BoisterousBruiser Taokaka]]
** TheChick: [[RobotGirl Nu]]

** For a more [[CrowningMomentOfFunny comedic]] example, talking koi Codswallop in "Cape Lilies".

*** Ragna-[[Franchise/DevilMayCry Dante]]

* OldShame: Gyppy was once known as an extremely obsessive TalesSeries fangirl, especially about yaoi and VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny2, especially Judas. However, right now she's past that and is very ashamed of that one 'self'.
