7	[[folder: Becquerel Harley/callingCujo]]
8	-->"I'd kill for anybody to hang around with. And I really wish I had somebody to tell me how fast I'm growing up? Because half of the time I can't even remember what day it is."
9
10	The first character introduced: a human {{Expy}} of the ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' character Becquerel. He has lived all his life on a remote island in the Pacific, with only his dog Jade for company.
11
12	Sburb classifies him as the Knight of Rage.
13
14	His [[http://scarvenrot.tumblr.com/gsfaq typing quirk]] is bright green, and lacks grammar.
15
16	* BookDumb: Justified trope; he had no one to teach him English before Jaspers befriended him.
17	* FatalFlaw: Wrath, as his title indicates. It makes him even more difficult to communicate with.
18	* FirstSnow: Experiences this upon being [[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=932&p=368 deposited]] in the Land Of Sleds And Mailboxes. Jadepuppysprite thoughtfully brings him a coat.
19	* HeroicBSOD / TranquilFury: When Jade is accidentally killed by Jaspers.
20	-->''"[[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=932&p=238 You killed her because you weren't listening to me.]] You listen to me now, or I swear to God you'll regret ever meeting me."''
21	* HeroesLoveDogs: Adores Jade and plasters his walls with dog and wolf posters.
22	* MundaneLuxury: It takes so long to get things posted to his house that simply receiving mail is cause for celebration.
23	* NoSocialSkills: Feels overwhelmed by Cal's eagerness to talk, and relies on Jaspers to help him with Cal and Quinn.
24	** Jaspers attributes Bec's grumpiness to his awkwardness around people.
25	* SecretlyWealthy: He is simply so rich, and so removed from society, that it simply does not occur to him how important money is to 90% of humanity- so the subject never comes up. Upon connecting to Bec, Jaspers is shocked to see the Harley estate.
26	* TheNicknamer: Refers to Cal as 'WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}', Jaspers by various cat-themed epithets, and Quinn as "dollface".
27

30	[[folder: Jaspers Lalonde/acinonyxAnonymous]]
31	-->"I don’t need him to tell me I’m an adult. I already know that. If he can’t come to grips with it, that’s his problem. Not mine."
32
33	The second character introduced; a human {{Expy}} of the ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' character Jaspers. He lives with his father in a mansion.
34
35	Sburb classifies him as the Prince of Doom.
36
37	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: A recurring theme in Jaspers' narration is his desire to be treated as an adult and (he thinks) truly respected. Sburb is exactly the kind of game designed to smash this hubris to bits.
38	* CondescendingCompassion: A rare heroic example. He does care for his friends, but almost never treats them as equals.
39	* DirtyCoward: AP accuses Jaspers of being this because he never told Bec the truth.
40	* DontYouDarePityMe: Rejects his father's love because he equates it with being treated like a child. It takes some prodding from Bec before he realizes that he can have both independence and a healthy parental relationship.
41	* FatalFlaw: {{Pride}}. He frequently dismisses others as silly or incompetent.
42	* GoodFeelsGood: Initially befriended Bec to assuage his own guilt over bullying him, but later came to genuinely value his friendship with him.
43	** While [[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=932&p=110 hugging Mapledad]], he realizes that showing affection for his father doesn't make him any less mature.
44	-->''...It feels pretty GOOD to be nice to your Dad.''
45	* ShipperOnDeck: Supports Bec/Cal, much to the former's annoyance.
46	* SpoiledBrat: Indirectly.
47

50	[[folder: Quinn Egbert/basedFabio]]
51
52	The third character introduced; a human {{Expy}} of a harlequin doll in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''.
53
54	Sburb classifies her as the Maid of Heart.
55
56	* BirdsOfAFeather: Bonds with Cal over their shared love of roleplaying and attraction to other members of the group.
57	* CovertPervert:
58	-->''There's nothing quite like a STEAMY PAPERBACK NOVEL or SHORT EROTIC ONE-SHOT, and while your mother thinks your enjoyment of such things doesn't extend much farther than [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga DAY-GLO BLOODSUCKERS who sparkle in the sunlight]], your AMAZON.COM, DEVIANTART, and FANFICTION.NET ACCOUNTS would be INCREDIBLY REVEALING if she happened across them.''
59	* GirlyGirl: Her hobbies and room décor are rather traditionally feminine.
60	* GoshDangItToHeck: Never uses swear words, except to imply them in abbreviations.
61	-->"I don't need to cuss to sound tough!"
62	* OnlySaneMan: Is the most well adjusted of the protagonists.
63	* SadisticChoice: Makes one after Acialu tells her about Sburb's true nature. She can abandon the game and leave Jaspers to die, or play it and endanger herself. [[ForegoneConclusion Obviously]], she chooses the latter.
64	* ShipperOnDeck: Supports Cal/Bec.
65	* SmittenTeenageGirl: To Jaspers, who reciprocates.
66	-->''...so the SULTRY PRINCE of your CHILDLIKE, IDEALISTIC INFATUATION is safe from prying eyes at last...''
67	* TheHeart: She is the only character everyone in the group likes, and strongly devoted to helping them through their emotional travails. Dardan explicitly points out that they need her in their lives.
68
69	[[/folder]]
70
71	[[folder: Cal Strider/pinocchiosVices]]
72
73	The fourth character introduced; a human {{Expy}} of [[DemonicDummy Lil Cal]] in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''. He [[note]]Cal is ambiguously gendered, but prefers male pronouns[[/note]] lives with Liv in an apartment.
74
75	Sburb classifies him as the Bard of Light.
76
77	* AbhorrentAdmirer: Is unceasingly and stubbornly enthusiastic when talking to Bec. This is mostly why Bec feels uncomfortable around him.
78	* AmbiguousGender: While he prefers to be referred to with male pronouns, WordOfGod says that his birth gender is intentionally unclear.
79	* BirdsOfAFeather: Bonds with Quinn over their shared love of roleplaying and attraction to other members of the group.
80	* HypocriticalHumor: Considers Squarewave's unwanted advances annoying, yet he's every bit as guilty of unwanted advances himself (toward Bec). PlayedForLaughs, of course.
81	* {{Keet}}: Easily excitable.
82	* ShipperOnDeck: Supports Quinn/Jaspers.
83	* StepfordSmiler: Projects a happy front when talking with Bec, likely to encourage their friendship. In conversations with the other characters, he is far more depressed.
84	* LonelyDollGirl: Is bullied at school, and constantly struggles with maintaining his online friendships. After an especially bad argument with Jaspers, he comments that he's going to go 'hang out with [his] bros'.
85	* LoveHurts: Is acutely aware that Bec doesn't return his feelings, or even like him all that much.
86	-->'''Cal:''' I just want to like me, even a little bit...
87	-->'''Jaspers''' He does. I swear, he does. It really shouldn't be so important to you, though.
88	-->'''Cal:''' You don't know what it's like...He's always liked you...And BF...
89	* MoodSwinger: His emotions are changeable and highly intense. This is exemplified in his first pesterlog, where he switches from fear to anger to sadness in the space of ''[[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=932&p=156 five lines]]''.

92
93	[[WMG:Sprites]]
94
95	[[folder: Jade/Jadepuppysprite]]
96
97	A puppy Bec adopted after finding her injured on his island. She was accidentally killed by Jaspers and brought back to life through the prototyping process.

100	* GameFace: Makes one upon encountering some imps.
101	* GenkiGirl: Uses a ''lot'' of exclamation marks.
102	* OneSteveLimit: Rather than being named "Jadesprite" (the name of a canon character), she's named "Jadepuppysprite".
103	* OnlyFriend: Bec's only physically present friend.
104	* PreciousPuppy: Unless you anger her.
105
106	[[/folder]]
107
108	[[folder: Rose]]
109
110	Jaspers' cat.
111
112	* CatsAreMean: Gets into a very big hissy fit when her tail is accidentally stepped on.
113	* CatsAreSnarkers: We can assume that she'll be this when she's prototyped, going by canon Rose's personality.
114	* CatsAreSuperior: Jaspers cartainly thinks so.
115	* CuteKitten
116
117	[[/folder]]
118
119	[[folder: John]]

121	Quinn's favorite doll.
122
123	* CompanionCube
124	* CreepyDoll: Averted. He's absolutely adorable.
125	* NiceGuy: Will most likely be this when prototyped, going by canon John's character.
126	* SecurityBlanket: To Quinn, who has had him since she was a baby.
127
128	[[/folder]]
129
130	[[folder: Dave]]
131
132	Cal's least favorite puppet.
133
134	* TheAlcoholic: Cal likes to portray him as such when he plays with him.
135	* ButtMonkey: Cal likes to treat him pretty harshly. WordOfGod says that he'll regret this once Dave is prototyped.
136	* DeadpanSnarker: Likely to be this when prototyped.
137	* DemonicDummy: Cal probably thinks so, but mostly averted.
138	* TheDogBitesBack: See ButtMonkey above.
139	* {{Jerkass}}: Cal thinks of him as such.
140
141	[[/folder]]
142

148	-->''"I'm the person who's going to save your sorry ass."''
149
150	A mysterious figure who is familiar with both the kids and lusii. He has benevolent intentions, but is contemptuous of every character he's messaged so far.

153

168
169	* ArtificialLimbs: Because of an accident he refuses to talk about, his abdomen and two of his original legs were replaced with these.
170	* ForcedIntoEvil: Stheno forced him to upload Sburb onto Jaspers' computer, threatening to kill Wyvern if he didn't.
171	* {{Hypocrite}}: Considers the other lusii irresponsible for letting their respective trolls die...but his is also dead.
172	* JumpedAtTheCall: When a calf, he was chosen to become an emissary to the empress, a job he eagerly anticipated.
173	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Was partially responsible for creating Sgrub.
174	** TheAtoner: And is now trying his utmost to prevent it from killing the humans.
175	* OurCentaursAreDifferent: Is the only lusus (so far) to have four legs.

178
179	[[/folder]]
180
181	[[folder: Stheno / gorgonsTemptation]]

185
186	Sburb classifies her as the Thief of Blood.
187
188	* BigBad: Shaping up to be a, if not ''the'', major villain. She forces the kids into playing Sburb and brainwashes the other lusii into helping her.
189	* MeaningfulName: Stheno was one of the mythological gorgons (as alluded to by the character's tag). Her name means: 'The forceful', because she had a higher body count than those of the other gorgons '''combined'''.

194

234
235	* AdorableAbomination: For a [[HumanoidAbomination humanoid Horrorterror]], she's fairly cute.
236	* ArtificialLimbs: Either her legs are made of metal, or she has a taste for uncomfortable footwear.
237	* {{Cthulhumanoid}}: Her tentacles are on her head rather than her face, but she still qualifies.
238	* HumanoidAbomination: By virtue of being an anthropomorphized version of an EldritchAbomination.
239	* MamaBear: Kicks Gamzee ''in the face'' when he tries to attack Ocerus.
240	* PrehensileHair: Prehensile tentacles, but they still count. A justified trope because of BizarreAlienBiology.
241	* ThirdEye: That only opens when she gets angry.
242
243	[[/folder]]
244
245	[[folder: Wyvern / twistedAcquittal]]

262
263	[[/folder]]
264
265	[[folder: Pounce / felicitousStalking]]
266
267	-->''"You and I just seem to...hmm. Be fated to know one another."''

291
292	Sburb classifies her as the Sylph of Life.
293
294	* InformedConversation: Has a short chat with Quinn, in which (as can be inferred from Quinn's reaction) Acialu tells her the true nature of Sburb, and that Quinn's friends and family are all going to die. However, because Aurthour is the viewpoint character then, we don't see it.
295	* WingedHumanoid: By virtue of being part-moth.
296
297	[[/folder]]
