Line #156 Characters/Aware


1	As ''{{Webcomic/Aware}}'' constantly changes scenery, characters don't often stay around for long. The characters listed here are the ones on the Important Faces page, and as such are important to the storyline somehow. Beware of spoilers!

7	[[caption-width-right:350:"I feel like I'm missing a lot of context here..."]]
8	Full name Két Ara. A [[DeadpanSnarker snarky,]] [[MediumAwareness wall-aware]] feline who happens to be TheHero of the comic. Goes around TheMultiverse at Niv's request to find the MacGuffin.
9	----
10	* ActionGirl: Although she is a little bit pacifistic.
11	** FauxActionGirl: Unfortunately, most of her matchups haven't exactly been in her favor.
12	* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Everything she did, everything she endured, all the friends she made, ''none'' of it matters in the end, as Silvena effortlessly defeats her and erases her from existence.]]
13	* BadLiar: Két both subverts and plays this straight. If she's confronted about not being honest about something - IE, the exact nature of her powers - she's not very good at lying her way out of it. However, when given wiggle room, she's very good at distorting the truth - while she's not ''technically'' lying, she's not being entirely honest, either.
14	* BewareTheSillyOnes: She's generally carefree and makes snarky comments quite often. When she gets serious, however, she's a force to be reckoned with.
15	* [[spoiler: BroughtDownToBadass: Két's wind powers are taken from her halfway through World [10]. She retains her aware-powers, and remains a force to be reckoned with anyway.]]
16	* CatsAreSnarkers: Obviously.
17	* CelibateHero: Két is one, though interestingly enough she's not a virgin - she ''became'' celibate as a direct result of teasing from the authors about [[NoodleIncident gorilla kitties.]]
18	* ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction: Has this as a power thanks to the BehindTheBlack trope.
19	* TheCharmer: She's very good at talking her way out of situations, or at least getting a discussion going for long enough that some form of distraction appears which she can take advantage of. This is perhaps best displayed when she re-visits Mobius and effectively stalls Metal Sonic just by talking to him until backup better suited to fighting him arrives.
20	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: This is both a problem and an advantage for her - she's always running around trying to help people. On one hand, it tends to get her into trouble with the villains of the world she's on. On the other hand, it often helps her fulfill her objective.
21	* ComboPlatterPowers
22	** BlowYouAway [[spoiler: She loses these halfway through World [10].]]
23	** RealityWarper: In the form of her wall-aware powers.
24	* DeaderThanDead: [[spoiler:Silvena erases her soul from existence. RP!Ket outright states that nothing short of a [[DeusExMachina "BS ex machina"]] would be able to bring her back.]]
25	* DeadpanSnarker: She's not above snarking at ''everything'', up to and including elements of the fourth wall, much to Niv's annoyance.
26	* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:In the "semi-canon" fanfic "BS Ex Machina", she literally ''wills herself back to life'' through sheer determination not to let her story end.]]
27	* DimensionalTraveler: Goes to the next one when she fulfills her 'objective'.
28	* DoomedProtagonist: [[spoiler:Niv alright admits in the epilogue that she was never strong enough to face Silvena and survive and would never truly have been able to get strong enough to do so. Her fate was sealed the moment her quest began.]]
29	* FashionableAsymmetry: Thanks to her spots, scars, and bow.
30	* FirstPersonSmartass: To go along with her constant LampshadeHanging. She's constantly snarking about things in her thought bubbles.
31	* FishOutOfWater: Generally finds herself at a loss when arriving in new places, but is hit hard by this in Twisted worlds.
32	* FlatEarthAtheist: Despite her wall-aware abilities and her encounters with [[PhysicalGod Physical Gods]], Két is one of these simply because all the Gods she's had encounters with are, by her own words, "complete and utter douchewaffles".
33	* FourthWallObserver: Két's lack of a FourthWall allows her to be one of these. She can see into other panels, the events of pages that she's not in, and read speech/thought bubbles. However, this comes at a cost - unless Két has prior knowledge in regards to a situation, her knowledge is limited to what's been revealed to the audience. This means she has no idea what to expect when she ends up in [[AlternateUniverse Twisted worlds.]]
34	* FutureMeScaresMe: Has this attitude towards [[spoiler: her rp self.]]
35	* HeroProtagonist: Granted, when she's not helping people, [[AntiHero she doesn't act much like one,]] but she ''does'' actively try to help everyone she meets, sometimes going out of her way to do so. She's also the protagonist.
36	* HyperspaceWardrobe: Post World [7], due to her shopping trip to get clothing when she was there. She's displayed two alternate outfits, not including her PhantomThief clothes, so far.
37	* IJustWantToBeNormal: Years of putting up with the fourth wall made her want this. Thanks to Silverado, however, she realizes...
38	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: ...she actually just felt isolated because no one else had a power like hers. Silverado makes her realize that it doesn't matter what powers she has, because her TrueCompanions will accept her no matter what that power is - and if they don't, then they're not TrueCompanions.
39	* LampshadeHanging: Frequently does this in regards to elements of the comic and silly developments.
40	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Két is basically always doing this.
41	* MartialPacifist: Says [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/2261745/talk-it-out/ here]] that she dislikes fighting unless there's no other option, and even then she'd prefer to avoid killing if at all possible.
42	* MeaningfulRename: [[spoiler:Renames herself "Svet" in the semi-canon "BS Ex Machina" story, due to how her body is now a combination of her's and Silvena's.]]
43	* MediumAwareness
44	* MesACrowd: With some strategic panel-hopping, Két can effectively clone herself.
45	* OffscreenRealityWarp: Két is rather fond of this. Thanks to her awareness, she can pull seemingly impossible feats when the camera's not focused on her. She later gives us an idea of how she does this sort of thing when she [[BreakingTheFourthWall exits the comic]] and enters Niv's Photoshop window to [[ItMakesSenseInContext change the opacity of the night filter to make it easier to see.]]
46	* OffscreenTeleportation: If the focus isn't on her, Két might as well not be there- a fact which she is very much aware of and isn't afraid to take advantage of, either to run away or give her the edge in a fight.
47	* [[spoiler: PowerLossMakesYouStrong: Thanks to a pep talk from Silverado, she's more willing to embrace her wall powers in combat after losing her wind powers. She's a fearsome opponent when she's not worried about keeping her wall powers a secret.]]
48	* RuggedScar: She has several, though at first the only one we can see is the one on her left hand. When she's turned into a Gatomon, she's revealed to have one on her chest, and when she gets a sleeveless shirt in World [7], another two are revealed - a larger one on her left arm and a small one on her right arm at around her elbow.
49	* ScarsAreForever: She has several scars that, while she doesn't necessarily make an active effort to hide, she doesn't really show off, either. She flat-out states in [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1985990/now-that-were-here-so-far-away/ this page]] that several of them are from her first encounter with Blair.
50	* SignatureLaugh: "Nyahahahahaha!"
51	* StealthExpert: Invokes this by BreakingTheFourthWall and hiding outside of panel to avoid being detected. She's not very good at determining when a good time to come back ''in'' is, though.
52	* ThinkingOutLoud: Prone to doing this, especially when something catches her off guard. While in World [2], [[{{VideoGame/Kirby}} Meta Knight]] catches her doing this, and informs her that it'd be better for her not to voice her thoughts if she wants to keep a low profile. She's notably more self-conscious about talking to Niv through thought after this, though she still does slip up.
53	* TraumaCongaLine: [[spoiler:The final leg of the comic is essentially her repeatedly getting kicked into the dirt both physically and emotionally, ultimately culminating in her senseless, utterly pathetic murder.]]
54	* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:Spends her final moments comatose and helpless, not even allowed the dignity of going out in a final blaze of glory against Silvena. She doesn't even get the final dignity of a proper burial, instead left to rot in the ruins of World 0.]]

57	[[folder:The Author - Niv]]
58	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dc8d1e06b9a6b61c7e9713f689e3e9eb.png]]
59	-->"You're here so I can explain the excuse plot to you."
60	Full name Niv Atasha. The comic's AuthorAvatar, who serves as Két's MissionControl. Generally more on the sidelines, but provides narration bubbles for certain situations.
61	----
62	* AuthorAvatar: Despite being one of these, she doesn't seem to have any form of author powers because she doesn't want to be a DeusExMachina.
63	* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: One of Niv's abilities, [[AllThereInTheManual according to the cast page,]] is the ability to tap into the latent powers of scarves. In other words, the scarves themselves have the powers, and she can only use them if she's wearing them.
64	* FromBeyondTheFourthWall: Serves as this to Két, usually when she needs information that Niv could easily look up online.
65	* InteractiveNarrator: Acts as one of these to Két.
66	* MissionControl: Niv towards Két, overlapping with VoiceWithAnInternetConnection.
67	** MissingMissionControl: Niv goes AFK halfway through World [9], and is still missing once World [10] comes around.
68	* PutOnABus: Hasn't appeared since the start of the comic, if you don't count her narration bubbles.
69	** TheBusCameBack: Returns in ''page 300.''
70	* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Niv, quite literally, since she's the AuthorAvatar and is speaking to Két using a computer.
71	* WhiteMagic: A practicer of this.
72	[[/folder]]
73
74	[[folder:The Watchdog - Damaru]]
75	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/9b641103567ee9b35a2d06ad1c8cc70d.png
76	-->'''Két''': ...Do you solve ''all'' of your problems by shooting them?
77	-->'''Damaru''': Yeah, basically.
78	Full name Damion Nexuti, he serves as an antagonistic {{Foil}} to Két. A weapons expert who's currently under orders to bring Két back to the BigBad alive.
79	----
80	* BlindWithoutEm: He can't see without his glasses. His vision was fine until Silverado set his eyes on fire while in control of his body.
81	* ComboPlatterPowers: TimeMaster and SpaceMaster.
82	* DragonWithAnAgenda: He's being forced to work for Silvena and is not happy about it, and tends to try and delay their orders. It's more subtle than [[LargeHam Silverado's]] attempts, but he could just constantly jump dimensions until he finds Két, or he could have just grabbed her and brought her back when they first ran into one another, and yet...
83	* {{Foil}}: To Két. Both travel around worlds, both have a commanding voice telling them what to do or helping them out if necessary, and both help people whenever they can. However, Damaru's methods are much more questionable, and he's more prone to adhering to TheNeedsOfTheMany, whereas Két prefers helping the individual. Damaru is also quick to use lethal force, in stark contrast to Két preferring to avoid violence and only fighting if it's absolutely necessary - and even then she never seems to want to use enough force to kill.
84	* JadeColoredGlasses: Considering how cheerful he was as a kid, it's likely that 44 years of dealing with Silverado caused Damaru to start wearing these at some point in time.
85	* JustFollowingOrders: His attitude towards having to follow Silverado's [[spoiler: and Silvena's]] whims.
86	* TheNapoleon: Had this problem in the past, due to looking like a ten year old despite being 50.
87	* NotSoStoic: There are several events that cause him to (rightfully) freak out or show emotion.
88	* OlderThanTheyLook: Actually 54 years old, but has the body of a 20 year old.
89	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Damaru's real name is "Damion".
90	* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Silverado's red.
91	* TheStoic: Damaru generally remains calm under most circumstances.
92	* TecnicolorEyes: Has purple eyes.
93	* TriggerHappy: His standard solution to most problems is to shoot them. Preferably in the face, but also in other lethal places.
94	* UsedToBeASweetKid: He was one pre-Silverado.
95	* VitriolicBestBuds: Despite the fact that they're constantly butting heads and annoyed by one another, Damaru and Silverado really do care about each other deep down.
96	[[/folder]]
97
98	[[folder:The Hunter - Silverado]]
99	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/965757cff41f85eba3d0cbb4e4a96947.png
100	-->"'''''SQUAWKING HELL!'''''"
101	Full name Silverado Limano, he is the God of Death from one of the Crossroad worlds with a huge ego to go along with it. He serves as a dulled down version of Damaru's MissionControl, and like the boy himself, he's under orders to bring Két back to the BigBad alive.
102	----
103	* AGodAmI
104	* BadPowersBadPeople: '''''God of Death,''''' anyone? The cast page also reveals that he has darkness powers.
105	* BlackEyesOfEvil
106	* BoldInflation: '''''Loves''''' this trope.
107	* ComboPlatterPowers:
108	** CastingAShadow
109	** PlayingWithFire: To go along with his being a phoenix. It's [[TechnicolorFire silver in coloration.]]
110	** TouchOfDeath: Benefiting his status as the God of Death.
111	* TheDragon: He's being forced to work for Silvena.
112	** DragonWithAnAgenda: However, he's not happy about this, and [[SpannerInTheWorks actively tries to stall their orders]].
113	* EvilIsHammy: Loves to get attention and often '''''over emphasizes''''' things.
114	* EvilLaugh: '''''Squakakakakakakakakaka!'''''
115	* GrandTheftMe: Pulled this on Damaru when he was a kid. He was in full control for less than a day before outside interference sealed him, but he can still give orders that Damaru has to follow.
116	* HiddenDepths: He can actually show sympathy towards other people, and is the one who helps snap Két out of her funk she fell into due to [[spoiler: losing her wind powers.]]
117	* IneffectualDeathThreats: There's a reason that he's called an Ineffectual Death Pigeon both in and out of universe.
118	** Subverted when he has enough power to make good on his claims.
119	* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Until he gets access to power.
120	* JustFollowingOrders: His attitude towards having to follow [[spoiler: Silvena's]] orders.
121	* LargeHam: Oh, yes.
122	* PhysicalGod: And won't let you forget it anytime soon.
123	** SleepModeSize: Forced into this due to his being sealed in Damaru's body.
124	* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Damaru's blue.
125	* {{Smurfing}}: Replaces most swear words with some variation of 'Squawk'.
126	* StealthMentor: His motivation for helping Két become more comfortable with using her wall powers is made ''very'' clear in World [11] - he and Damaru are running out of ways to keep Silvena from getting to Két, and so he wants her strong enough that they can't beat her when their next encounter occurs.
127	* ThatsAnOrder: Can invoke this on Damaru, but doesn't do so very often.
128	* TimeAbyss: As a God, he qualifies.
129	* VitriolicBestBuds: Despite the fact that they're constantly butting heads and annoyed by one another, Damaru and Silverado really do care about each other deep down.
130	[[/folder]]
131
132	[[folder:The Lover - Blair]]
133	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7f4d6fb60fcd8af985b09ceb1a1d2b05.png
134	-->"Well, I haven't got any reason to kill you, so you're safe, for now at least."
135	Full name Blair Moxie. A wandering psycho with an affiliation for swords and fighting, and also has a major crush on Két.
136	----
137	* AxCrazy: Seriously. His upbringing probably didn't help - he was apparently raised in a society where the strong get what they want.
138	* {{BFS}}: His weapon of choice is one.
139	* BloodKnight: His initial encounter with Damaru has him ask for a sparring match, mostly because he's bored and antsy, and results in a complete and utter curb stomp in which Damaru can't even get a hit in and winds up unconscious for three days.
140	* CharacterDevelopment: During World [12], he gets to spend some time with Két, which causes him to realize his approach to life in general might not be the best way of going about things. He vows to change his ways, though time will tell if he succeeds.
141	* CrazyJealousGuy: Towards Két.
142	* FishOutOfWater: Of a different variety than Két - while hers stems from not staying anywhere for long, his stems from the differences between his home world and the worlds he visits.
143	* ICantSenseTheirPresence: Blair is masterful at controlling his energy, to the point that Damaru and Silverado are nervous because they can't sense him despite him being right in front of them due to how well he's hiding it.
144	* KiManipulation: His powers. His energy attacks are [[RealMenWearPink pink in coloration.]]
145	* LoveAtFirstSight: Hence his title. The object of his affection, Két, does not feel the same way.
146	* NoSenseOfDirection: According to WordOfGod, his sense of direction rivals [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ryoga Hibiki]] and [[Manga/OnePiece Roronoa Zoro's]].
147	* SensorCharacter: Overlapping with AuraVision- Due to his precise energy control, he can sense the energies of others, and determine what sorts of energies the people around him use.
148	* TheSocialDarwinist: Seems to be one. Két explains [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1948049/darkened-eyes/ here]] that it's largely due to their home that this is the case, but she also notes that he took it to a "stupidly extreme degree".
149	* StalkerWithACrush: Két even refers to him as her "psychotic stalker".
150	* {{Yandere}}: Male example. He's generally affable... until you either get on his bad side or get between him and Két. Then the reason for his nickname of "Psychotic" becomes all too apparent.
151	[[/folder]]
152
153	[[folder:The Boss - Silvena]]
154	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ea6c4b89fa624549833d1a2f4c62b424.png
155	-->"Welcome home, dear..."
156	A being only known as Silvena, she serves as the comic's BigBad. She seems to be obsessed with destruction, and is interested in using Két's body as a means to her goals.
157	----
158	* BigBad: She's the one who is giving Damaru and Silverado orders. She is expanded upon, but not named, while Damaru is in World [8], before finally getting her formal introduction on [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/2006261/no-one-knows-its-you-miss-jackson/ page 200.]]
159	* BlackEyesOfEvil
160	* ComboPlatterPowers: And ''how.''
161	** CastingAShadow
162	** PlayingWithFire
163	** TouchOfDeath: Stole this from her world's version of Silverado.
164	** PowerOfTheVoid: Has this naturally [[spoiler: and it's augmented by the fact that she's got the Scarf of Destruction.]]
165	* GrandTheftMe: Wants to do this to Két. [[spoiler: [[TheBadGuyWins She succeeds.]]]] Did this in reverse to her version of Silverado - that is, forced him into her body to gain his powers.
166	* IronicHell: [[spoiler:In the "semi-canon" fanfic "BS Ex Machina", this is her final fate; trapped in what was once her body as a powerless spirit, unable to do anything but bicker with Comic!Ket/Svet.]]
167	* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Not only is she killed by RP!Ket almost immediately after achieving her ultimate victory, but "BS Ex Machina" goes a step further by reducing her to a powerless spirit forced to watch as her body is used by her archenemy, not at all dissimilar to what she did to Comic!Ket.]]
168	* NeckSnap: [[spoiler:How RP!Ket finally takes her down.]]
169	* OnlyOneName
170	* PutOnABus: Due to her being confined in World [O], she doesn't appear in the comic that much. It's mercilessly lampshaded on the cast page.
171	* PhysicalGod: Fortunately, she's confined to her native World. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, she has the MacGuffin.]]
172	* PyrrhicVictory: [[spoiler:By the GrandFinale, she manages to achieve all her objectives by [[DeaderThanDead erasing Ket's soul]] and taking her now empty body for her own use...only to be killed by RP!Ket almost immediately afterwards.]]
173	* ThatsAnOrder: Can invoke this on Damaru and Silverado, and takes great pleasure in doing so.
174	* TimeAbyss: As a Goddess, she qualifies.
175	-->''"For millennia upon millennia, Silvena was content tormenting the small society that she had allowed to live, as it gave her a source of entertainment to liven up her dull routine."''
176	* WalkingSpoiler: Not a terribly extreme example, but being formally introduced 200 pages in can do that to a person.
177	* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Silvena speaks like this. It could be because she's from a Twisted world, or because she originates from many years in the past... but since Silverado has at least one of these things going for him, it's likely just her being dramatic. [[spoiler:In "BS Ex Machina", she claims that its supposed to be a symbol of her divinity, but Svet doesn't buy it.]]
178	[[/folder]]

180	[[folder:The Wanderer - [[spoiler: RP!Két]]]]
181	[[labelnote:The Wanderer]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d41ebbe97ad1c6d9b1dc2968874d9107.png[[/labelnote]]
182	-->''I am what you could be, but I am '''''not''''' your future self.''
183	[[spoiler: Full name Két Ara. The Két who comes from rps, she was once a part of Két before Niv split them for plot convenience. Became a FallenHero due to events that happened after the split and travels the multiverse for reasons yet to be revealed.]]
184	----
185	* ArtificialLimbs: To replace her lost right arm.
186	* CatsAreSnarkers: Much like her counterpart.
187	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Surprisingly, she's one of these. She spends the first 14 pages after her introduction being serious... [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/2134090/this-is-how-i-show-my-love/ then promptly ruins it.]] It quickly becomes apparent that the "moron" part is her actual personality, while the "badass" part is her LetsGetDangerous side.
188	* DarkActionGirl
189	* FallenHero
190	* FashionableAsymmetry
191	* IHatePastMe: Well, ''hate'' is a strong word, and "past" is a bit inaccurate, but she seems annoyed that her other self isn't as strong as she is.
192	* MediumAwareness
193	* RageAgainstTheAuthor: Well, author''s'', but this is what caused her to go off the deep end.
194	** [[spoiler:Ultimately defied in the epilogue. She ''wants'' to be utterly furious with Niv over how she wrote Comic!Ket and Jax's final fates, but ultimately can't bring herself to because she's too thankful Niv allowed her the ability to even ''be'' angry over it.]]
195	* RealityWarper
196	* RuggedScar: Just like her counterpart.
197	* WalkingSpoiler: Being an unexpected element introduced ''300 pages in'' can do that to a character.
198	[[/folder]]

200	[[folder:The Benefactor - Mr. Losroo]]
201	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/losbox.png
202	-->''Now, Két. What can I do for you today?''
203	Full name unknown, Mr. Losroo is a careful and charming man who owns and runs Lost Rooster, Inc., a newspaper company that operates in World [13-x], aka Trinus. He is as friendly as he is enigmatic, and for each question he answers another springs up in its place.
204	----
205	* EarlyBirdCameo: Appeared in the second Q&A special, albeit completely covered in shadow aside from a few small details. Turns out this is normal for his office, as the shadow only goes away when Két asks him to remove it.
206	* {{Foil}}: To Silvena. Both are absurdly powerful beings with an interest in Két; however, while Silvena seeks to gain Két's powers for her own, Mr. Losroo wants to protect her as a member of his surrogate family.
207	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Claims his first appearance will be in World [13], and his answers to the questions he's asked are littered with it. Niv has also been foreshadowing his role since the start of the comic.
208	* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:He serves as the final barrier between Silvena and Ket's soul in the finale. He barely even slows her down.]]
209	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Reveals in the 3rd Q&A special that "Mr. Losroo" is an alias. His real name is unknown.
210	* NotSoAboveItAll: Upon being asked if he is Squidward, he spontaneously gains Squidward's nose and proclaims that he is ''art.''
211	* PapaWolf: Considers his employees family and is fiercely protective of them.
212	* PsychicPowers: Tends towards using {{Telepathy}}, but the full scale of his capabilities is unknown.
