6	!!Captain Walter Herindale
7	[[quoteleft:152:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DC_WalterHS_8822.jpg]]
8	[-''Walter tries very hard to be a pirate, and with a little more practice he’ll be pillaging and looting with the best of them. Now, if he can only forget all that pesky magical engineering training.''-]
9	* [[BunnyEarsLawyer Angel Winged Pirate]]: He’s a fairly good planner and knows how to keep the crew orderly, but he’s loaded with goofiness.
10	%%* EyepatchOfPower: Before the dimension jumping.
11	* MadScientist: He invented the engine the pirates use for their ship. It allows the ship to fly, but must be run while drunk.
12	* OohMeAccentsSlipping / TalkLikeAPirate: This is often lampshaded.
13	* GadgeteerGenius: has a degree in MagiTek engineering and the only one that knows how to repair the CoolShip without StuffBlowingUp.
14	--> “Oh that’s fine, go ahead. It’ll just kill YOU.”
15	%%* GoodMorningCrono: in the HighSchoolAU arc.
16	%%* TheGunslinger
17	* PiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Averted. He does piracy, but he's just not good at it.
18	* SkyPirate: First just Walter, then the rest of the crew.
19	* WhosOnFirst: Walter is the Abbott to Tiren’s Costello.
20	* WingedHumanoid: He comes from a race of winged people. The wings start out cute and ineffectual, but later capable of retracting and flight.
21
22	!!Tiren
23	[[quoteleft:152:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DC_TirenHS_7880.jpg]]
24	[-''Life has taught Tiren that often the most straight forward approaches yield the best results. That just happens to involve a lot of punching, or drinking. Tiren often finds herself acting as the brawn to the rest of the group’s lack of brain.''-]
25	* ActionGirl: In the first ten comics or so she takes down a Kraken single handedly. She only improves from there.
26	* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: she [[ThroughHisStomach made it]] with Love ([[Creator/HPLovecraft craftian]] [[{{Pixellation}} horror)]].
27	* CatGirl / HalfHumanHybrid: WordofGod has released work stating she has a human mother. The mother in question has been mentioned, but not shown in the comic itself.
28	* {{Determinator}}: no prison will hold her for long, and the jailors will be a [[AlmostDeadGuy lost cause]].
29	* ExtendedDisarming: See hyperspace arsenal below. Marty is shocked when he "searches" her.
30	%%* HardDrinkingPartyGirl
31	* HyperspaceArsenal: Through intense training Tiren has learned to hide an innumerable amount of weapons on her person, regardless of what she happens to be wearing.
32	--> Walter: Lass, ya don’t have pockets. Where’d ya keep ‘em?
33	--> (dope slap) Tiren: Shhh… [[VictoriasSecretCompartment Ninja secret]]!
34	* NoodleIncident: "Shut up you damned pirate! I'm not going to just sit here and be sold into slavery again."
35	* WhatDidIDoLastNight: The series starts OFF with Tiren wondering that. Walter found her as a stowaway while she was sleeping. It happens a few more times in the story. (Hey, they're pirates. They get drunk)
36
37	!!Elator “Elly” Cernocis
38	[[quoteleft:149:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DC_EllyHS_4740.jpg]]
39	[-''Elator is skittish, squeamish, and easily shocked. This mind set does leave him oddly capable when working under pressure, mostly because of the constant state of blind panic he’s under. He also disavows all knowledge of that infernal raccoon.''-]
40	* BedmateReveal / SleepCute: with the raccoon. Cue girlish screams.
41	* TheComicallySerious: He can be hilarious, mostly due to raccoon and pirate antics he has little to do with.
42	* [[CuteClumsyGirl Cute Clumsy Guy]]: he trips so adorably.
43	* DudeLooksLikeALady: To the point that the artist had to state Elly was a man when showing him to some students, who are Japanese. He's also now the page image!
44	* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: he manages to defuse at least two mutinies due to rum and politics.]]
45	** Or seen as [[TookALevelInBadAss learning how to]] [[spoiler: play his strengths or be a GuileHero]].
46	* MrFanservice
47	* NonActionGuy: Not for lack of trying and the raccoon keeps getting in the way.
48	* PrettyFreeloaders: Until Walter caught on and made him lookout.
49	* SuperiorSpecies: Subverted, he's clumsy, average intelligence, wimpy, cowardly, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking beautiful]] by elven standards.
50	* UnwantedHarem: Mary, Marty, [[HighSchoolAU HSUA]] Tria, and Raque. He thinks they’re icky.
51	* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Raccoons]]: Does [[http://dubiouscompany.com/comics/2009/07/30 this]] remind you of [[PrisonRape anything]]?
52
53	!!Salindorani “Sal” Tuzmenalozapinus
54	[[quoteleft:152:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DC_SallyHS_8234.jpg]]
55	[-''Cards, dice, and even completely unrelated random real world events tend to be in her favor. The result is she is the most knowledgable of the group, though she specializes in probability and telling the difference between random events and chaos.''-]
56	* AwesomeByAnalysis: Sal does NOT see the future. Her expertise is analyzing what she already has to figure out the problems.
57	* BornLucky: Sal is the future high priestess of the god of Randomness, things tend to go her way.
58	* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]] Only person who comes up with a practical idea on figuring out who is Elly and who is [[spoiler: The King]] Oh, and she wasn't aware of what was going on before they told her.
59	* DesignatedVictim: So common she treats kidnapping and rescuing like waiting for the bus.
60	* OverlyLongName: Fitting for the Future High Priestess of Zelotalinixia Ixalinlexa AKA Phred
61	%%* ReligionIsMagic: Averted.
62
63	!!Leeroy Perkins
64	[[quoteleft:157:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DC_LeeroyHS_9108.jpg]]
65	[-''Sal's best friend and rival. He's second in command of temple security and second best in predictions... next to Sal.''-]
66	* CantCatchUp: It seems no matter [[JackOfAllStats how good]] Leeroy gets, the best he can be is NumberTwo to Sal.
67	* ChurchMilitant: Lieutenant of the temple’s security for years. Reassigned to [[BodyguardCrush protect Sal]], and act as the crew’s second mate.
68	* DualWielding: He fights with a pair of daggers.
69	* LeeroyJenkins: Namesake. He doesn't really charge into fights, though he does get overeager. Think of how he handled the [[http://dubiouscompany.com/comics/2009/04/23 hostage crisis]].
70	* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: He just wants to be special and beat Sal at cards.
71
72	!!The Raccoon
73	[[quoteleft:149:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DC_CoonHS_2876.jpg]]
74	[-''Elly is also unnaturally attractive to raccoons, or at least, a particular raccoon.''-]
75	* BedmateReveal / SleepCute: with Elly. Cue girlish screams.
76	* CameBackWrong: if you believe the raccoon and Raque are one-in-the-same. Others with this theory believe it's [[SheIsAllGrownUp Came Back Sexy]].
77	* TheGlomp: [[AmbiguousGender she]] will always land on the face.
78	%%* TeamPet
79	* SidekickCreatureNuisance: "Elly, get rid of that raccoon!" "I'm trying!!"
80	* SpannerInTheWorks: if it appears during a dramatic moment, expect things to [[DiabolusExMachina get embarrassingly derailed]].

82
83	[[folder:The Imperial Guard]]
84	!!General Roseus Izor
85	[[quoteleft:136:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DC_IzorHS_6380.jpg]]

100	[-''let the power of love come into your lives! So we can love and help and love...''-]
101	%%* ClingyJealousGirl: to Elly
102	* InformedAttribute: She's smart. It’s just difficult to tell from the way she talks, and acts, and thinks.
103	* InTheNameOfTheMoon: "...we will band together and use the power of our friendship to..." [[ShutUpHannibal BAM!]]
104	* MagicalGirl: Mary’s original outfit is [[{{Expy}} suspiciously]] [[Franchise/SailorMoon Sailor Senshi-esque]].
105	* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Both sisters. Mostly Mary though.
106	* [[BashBrothers Smash Sisters]]: Mary acts as a [[AnAdventurerIsYou Mezzer/Buffer]] to Sue.
107	* TwinTelepathy: Somewhat taken advantage of when she becomes the [[PaperThinDisguise mole]].
108	* WallOfBlather: When Mary gets excited, expect the background to change to this.
109
110	!!Sue Spirkoy
111	[[quoteleft:148:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DC_SueHS_560.jpg]]

118	* PolarOppositeTwins: she is a stark contrast to her sister in both personality and looks.
119	* [[BashBrothers Smash Sisters]]: Sue providing most of the smash.
120	%%* TwinTelepathy + WallOfBlather = HeadDesk
121
122	!!Gary Stu
123	[[quoteleft:162:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DC_GaryHS_5183.jpg]]
124	[-''The elder of the Stu brothers.''-]

127	* {{Expy}}: of [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Zuko]], in looks if not personality.
128	* HyperCompetentSidekick: to Izor.

130	* LethalChef: in his intro. A shout-out to Latrine from ''Film/RobinHoodMenInTights''.
131	%%* PlayingWithFire
132	* PromotionToParent: Gary disciplines and nags Marty much like a parent. Their backstory art implies he took the role during the fight with Nonspecific Evil Mage #157675, as Gary is exercising the [[PapaWolf powers]] inherent thereof.
133	%%* TheStoic
134
135	!!Marty Stu
136	[[quoteleft:162:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DC_MartyHS_9150.jpg]]

145
146	!! The Dragon
147	[[quoteleft:148:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DC_DragonHS_9205.jpg]]
148	[-''The dragon probably came from certain parties deep seated desire for violence.''-]
149	* [[MusicSoothesTheSavageBeast Commanding Soothes The Savage Beast]]
150	* HeadPet: during Izor's debrief, for simultaneous cuteness and embarrassment.
151	* KillerRabbit: it didn't use to be so cute. See below.
152	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: just look at [[http://dubiouscompany.com/comics/2010/07/20 the widdle guy.]]
153	* SplitPersonalityMakeover
154	* SquareCubeLaw: Is it VoluntaryShapeshifting?
155	* TotalPartyKill: with one hit it [[spoiler: knocked out both Sues and both Stus]].

170	!! Emperor Kreedor
171	[[quoteleft:175:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DC_Kreedor_357.jpg]]
172	[-''The [[CardCarryingVillain human symbol]] of the Kreedor Empire.''-]
173	* BigBad
174	* ConservationOfCompetence: IdiotBall hog.
175	--> Izor: Look, the man still thinks eating his broccoli will give him super strength. We’re not exactly dealing with a paragon of intelligence.
176	* DisproportionateRetribution: Kreedor's hissy fits involve Izor [[TakeOverTheWorld sacking]] another country.
177	* GodhoodSeeker: He thinks sacrificing Sal will achieve him this. [[spoiler:As it turns out, the altered ritual actually does.]]
178	* OrcusOnHisThrone: Not even gaining godlike powers is cause enough to actually carry out one of his own schemes.
179	* PsychopathicManChild
180
181	!!Private Charles
182	[[quoteleft:166:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DC_Charles_1397.jpg]]
183	[-''Charles is a meek royal guard that the pirates befriended at chokehold in Kreedor's castle.''-]

185	* PokeThePoodle - Tiren steals his last sandwich.
186	* PunchClockVillain - He follows his orders, just as Izor [[ExactWords said]]. Look at his pic.
187	* RuleSixtyThree: Look at Charles. Now look at Sal. OnlySixFaces?
188
189	!! Sakura
190	[[quoteleft:165:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DC_Sakura_3946.jpg]]
191	[-'' The Little Miss Perfect that falls head over heels for Walter in the High School arc.''-]
192	* ButtMonkey - she really didn't deserve [[spoiler: that nasty black eye.]]
193	* CatFight: After realizing she pissed off [[LightningBruiser Tiren]] and that [[FragileSpeedster Walter]] is the only thing holding back her wrath.
194	* FeminineWomenCanCook - which leads to Tiren trying to outbake her.
195	* ForegoneConclusion / RomanticFalseLead - Sakura ultimately loses [[spoiler: HSAU Walter [[FirstGirlWins to HSAU Tiren]], but the real [[{{UST}} Walter and Tiren]] [[StatusQuoIsGod resolve nothing]].]]
196	* GenreBlind - she could not tell that Tiren had some feelings for Walter, or that Mary and Sue wanted her dead. Culminating into the moment killer below.
197	* MomentKiller - giving Walter chocolate during Tiren's blatant attempt to [[CantSpitItOut spit it out.]]
198	* ThroughHisStomach - she loves to cook for people, especially Walter.

202	[-'' She may singlehandedly cause the world to fall apart by trying to fulfill a [[EroticDream sex fantasy]]. And she is terrifying doing it.''-]
203	* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: [[spoiler: Raque tries to invoke it. She calls it "Ravage" and it fails horribly]]
204	* BeneathTheMask: She originally looks kinda [[http://dubiouscompany.com/comics/2011/01/06 cute ]] then we get moments like [[http://dubiouscompany.com/comics/2011/05/26 this]].
205	* BedmateReveal: happens before [[spoiler: the seduction/rape attempts.]]
206	* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: [[spoiler:Played straight and averted when Raque tries to invoke this on Elly]]. The readers are left feeling deliberately uncomfortable.
207	* GambitPileup: of lies. It's like she's playing RussianRoulette. Against herself. With an automatic.
208	* LaughingMad: imagine [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Kefka]] mixed with hyenas on PCP.
209	* IndyPloy: it's not just crazy enough to work, ''she's'' just crazy enough to work.
210	* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler: Elly’s resemblance to the king may have sparked her interest in him.]]
211	* ShockAndAwe
212	* {{Yandere}}

214	!!Queen "Queenie" Marl'vadr'via
215	[[quoteleft:146:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DC_Queenie_1906.jpg]]
216	[-'' TheHighQueen of the Elfin Kingdom is quite calm and reasoning with her guests.''-]
217	* ConspiracyTheorist: At first she believes the main cast to be minor troublemakers, but once her husband steps out for a bit the troublemaker theory [[TheRemnant escalates]].

229
230	!!Kreedor Empire
231	* BadJobWorseUniform: the military uniform looks remarkably like a nun's habit.
232	* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: there is one. Imperial soldiers are trained in combat aptitude, physical fitness, tactics and more. We are never shown the quality of said training, so it's difficult to tell whether the incompetence is do to poor training or morale (see below).
233	* LawfulStupid: half of the RedShirtArmy are this.
234	* PunchClockVillain: the other half of the {{Mooks}} are doing it for college money.

236
237	!! Elven Royal Court
238	* AndIMustScream:
239	** The king is aware of the queen and Raque's mental issues.
240	** Raque might also qualify given her [[ReassignedToAntarctica current position]] versus her desired position.
241	* InsistentTerminology: Elfs are a [[CallARabbitASmeerp completely different]] race from elves.
242	* PunctuationShaker /TheUnpronounceable: King Elan'vi'dor? Queen Marl'vadr'via? Handmaiden Raqu’falicoona?
243	* PrinceAndPauper: the king pulls this on an [[MistakenForSpecialGuest unwitting]] Elly.
244	* RoyallyScrewedUp: The king wants to ditch. Whether its ditching the [[ElCidPloy kingdom]] or his wife is hard to say. The queen ''might be'' on drugs. She at least puts on a [[FunctionalAddict good front]].
245	* UnfazedEveryman: The kingdom itself, as it attracts dimensional hoppers. They even make a festival out of it. The king seems relieved that this time they only got a bunch of fools.
