| 14 | A Paladin of Aphrodite hailing from the mountains of Kenya, Azu's greatest dream is to one day become the [[HighPriest High Priestess]]. She is a loving, caring soul who will do everything in her power to make the world a better place, provided the methods of doing so do not cost innocent lives. As well as being a formidable warrior, Azu is very cuddly, ready to provide hugs and comfort to all who should need or ask for them. Alongside Topaz T. Camel, the camel she can summon at will from the Celestial Plane, she makes sure everyone in the L.O.L.O.M.G. is well looked after and able to get to wherever they may need to go. Played by Helen Gould. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | ---- |
| 17 | %%* AllLovingHero |
| 18 | * TheBigGuy: At 6'6", Azu is easily the tallest person in the party. |
| 19 | * BreakTheCutie: Azu starts off very hopeful, sure that she can enact justice in the world and save her friends. After having her brother kidnapped, failing to save two of her best friends, and discovering herself in a post-apocalyptic world, Azu has become significantly more cynical, angry, and guilty. |
| 20 | * {{Claustrophobia}}: Azu is uncomfortable in small, enclosed spaces. |
| 21 | * CheeryPink: Wears glowing pink armour and is easily the cheeriest of the group. |
| 22 | * TheConfidant: For Einstein; she's the only one who knows about him having lost so much knowledge. |
| 23 | * CuddleBug: Extremely physically affectionate. |
| 24 | * GentleGiant: Very large and muscly, and incredibly friendly and ready to hug. |
| 25 | * HealingHands: Naturally, as a paladin. |
| 26 | * TheHeart: Likely part of what drew her to the service of Aphrodite, Azu is the most likely to try to comfort someone when they're hurting, though Hamid isn't far behind. |
| 27 | * IWillFindYou: To [[spoiler: Grizzop and Sasha after they fail to return from the planar shift.]] |
| 28 | * MagicKnight: As a Paladin, she gets lots of armour and plenty of magic spells. |
| 29 | * OnlyOneName: Her town was so small that no one needed second names. |
| 30 | * TheMedic: Again, being a Paladin allows her to use magic to heal people, something she must make ample use of. |
| 31 | * OurOrcsAreDifferent: Extremely friendly and as intelligent as all the other sapient races. |
| 32 | * ThePaladin: Along with Grizzop of course. [[spoiler: At least until he's flung back through time to Ancient Rome.]] |
| 33 | * PinkMeansFeminine: Zigzagged. Pink is the colour of Aphrodite, who's worshipped by people of any gender, not seemingly restricted by masculinity or femininity. On the other hand, Azu is very pink and the mosts feminine member of the group, especially in comparison to the other woman, Sasha. |
| 34 | * PowerGlows: Due to her service to Aphrodite, all of her weapons and armour glows a bright pink. Unless she's trying to be stealthy, in which case it only glows a little bit. |
| 35 | * ReligiousBruiser: To be expected of a paladin. |
| 36 | * TinyGuyHugeGirl: Platonically, with both Hamid and Grizzop. |

| 40 | ->'''Race:''' Human |
| 41 | ->'''Class:''' Fighter |
| 42 | ->''"I want to be at home, coated in honey the whole time, being gently licked by nice young men! And here I am, haring all over the continent."'' |
| 43 | |
| 44 | ---- |
| 45 | An entitled noble who wears the flashiest armour money can buy. What Bertie lacks in diplomacy and pleasantness he more than makes up for with intimidation and ability to bellow, something that can cause issues for the rest of the Rangers, We’re Still Working on the Name. While he’s not the most intelligent or observant, he’s very good to have on your side if you get into a fight, being a hard-hitting damage absorbing tank, or if you need to buy your way out of a sticky situation, since he has loads of money and is rarely shy of spending it. Otherwise a truly terrible person who thinks poor people are awful and only other nobles have any worth. Played by James Ross. |
| 46 | ---- |
| 47 | * AssholeVictim: To Kafka. |
| 48 | * BeneathTheMask: Is legally obliged to keep up the appearance of a noble knight, when in reality he's a KnightInSourArmour. |
| 49 | * TheBigGuy: Towers over everyone else in the Rangers. |
| 50 | * CatchPhrase: "Listen here, young man." |
| 51 | * CharacterDeath: In episode 79, by Kafka. |
| 52 | * ContemplatingYourHands: Is strangely fascinated by his own finger. |
| 53 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: Is suffocated to death while spinning in mid-air and sacrificing his best friend's sister to try and save himself. |
| 54 | * CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: Bertie is fond of this, whether threatening to "slice [Wilde] open and bathe in his blood" or "cut off his skin." |
| 55 | * DeadManWriting: In his will, which James reads aloud as Bertie. |
| 56 | * EatingTheEyeCandy: To several men, but notably Edward Keystone: |
| 57 | -->'''Bertie:''' You are a source of irritation... with lovely eyes. Eyes a man could drown in, if he were foolish enough to think he could swim in eyes. You— cheekbones a man could juice a lemon on, little shell-like ears, if one wanted to stick one’s tongue in a shell for some reason... Skin like honey, in the sense that I would put it all in a jar... |
| 58 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: His introduction in episode 1: Bertie, in ornate plate armour, loudly barges into an interview room and declares himself a mercenary. |
| 59 | * FailedASpotCheck: Constantly, to the point that "everybody but Bertie sees..." becomes a RunningGag. |
| 60 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Zolf and Sasha openly dislike Bertie, particularly after he reveals his true motivations for adventuring. Even Hamid, with whom he's supposedly friends, considers him annoying and a danger to others. |
| 61 | * GiverOfLameNames: Gives Mr Ceiling his name. |
| 62 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: The eyes on his falcon-headed helmet happen to glow, and they are a ''very'' bad sign for any enemies in the area. |
| 63 | * HeroesLoveDogs: Until they throw them off a roof in Paris. |
| 64 | * HesitantSacrifice: Kafka offers Bertie the choice between his life and that of Aziza; Bertie hesitates for a long time, then eventually chooses himself. |
| 65 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Is almost incapable of caring about other people's worries. |
| 66 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Not a particularly pleasant individual. |
| 67 | * KnightInSourArmour: Is dressed in full plate armor, is classically educated and fights with a two-handed bastard sword but is a cowardly, selfish and greedy individual apart from that. |
| 68 | * LackOfEmpathy: Except towards his dog, and barely even then. |
| 69 | %%* LargeHam |
| 70 | * LivingWeapon: Wields Sir Everard Macguffingham's sword, which talks to him. |
| 71 | * MagicallyBindingContract: With Harkness, Harkness, Darkness & Sphinx. |
| 72 | * ManlyGay: Complementing CampStraight Hamid. |
| 73 | * MarkOfShame: Whenever Bertie breaks his contract with his lawyers, he gains one of these on his arm. |
| 74 | * MightyGlacier: Has the highest Armour Class and HP of the party and can soak up damage without realizing it that other party members would be obliterated entirely by. |
| 75 | * NeverMyFault: Good luck getting Bertie to own up to his many, many flaws. |
| 76 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: With Hamid; they're friends despite Hamid's significantly more delicate sensibilities. |
| 77 | * SoMuchForStealth: Because of his plate armour, it's extremely hard for him to stealth. |
| 78 | * SpeakIllOfTheDead: After he dies, characters continue to speak openly of his faults; Hamid calls him a bully and Sasha only mourns that she no longer has anyone to flank. |
| 79 | * TooManyHalves: In one character introduction, James describes Bertie as "half man, half man, half man." |
| 80 | * UpperClassTwit: His defining character trait. |

| 90 | A boisterous, excitable inventor and alchemist, Cel loves potions, gratuitous electricity, and explosions. Although they appear to have traveled the world, Cel is set on protecting a small village in Japan, to which they feel deeply indebted. Played by Lydia Nicholas. |
| 91 | ---- |
| 92 | * AccentInterest: Cel's accent is "from everywhere" and draws the attention of Zolf; it's a sign that they're from lands outside of meritocratic control. |
| 93 | * AdmiringTheAbomination: Towards the goo and mould in Shoin's lab. |
| 94 | %%* AlchemyIsMagic |
| 95 | * BadassLongcoat: In which they keep their many potions. |
| 96 | * BerserkButton: Goes to town on some of Shoin's mooks after they misgender Cel, remarking that after enough times attacking Cel's village they should know how much the alchemist hates it. |
| 97 | * {{BFG}}: Or rather, Big Fucking Crossbow. |
| 98 | * BigStupidDoodooHead: Calls Shoin a "poopyhead." |
| 99 | * ConfusionFu: They have so many different potions at their disposal that predicting their actions both in and out of combat is difficult. |
| 100 | %%* DemolitionsExpert |
| 101 | * DitzyGenius: To be expected of a high intelligence, low wisdom character. |
| 102 | * EarAche: One of Cel's ears is partially blown off, presumably from an experiment gone wrong. |
| 103 | * GadgeteerGenius: They're a prolific inventor. |
| 104 | * GadgeteersHouse: Cel boasts one of these in their village. |

| 108 | * HalfHumanHybrid: Half elf, half human. |
| 109 | * HeroicNeutral: Self-characterized as one, with regards to Shoin: |
| 110 | -->'''Cel:''' I spent years keeping my village safe, and not fighting back, and I mean, that’s something I told Mr. Smith is that, you know, I could, I could maybe have gone in there, I mean, I’d probably have died, but I could have followed them. I could have gone back, and I maybe, I could have ended this a long time ago if I’d gone in. |
| 111 | * HiddenDepths: Although Cel appears constantly cheery, to the point of being naïve, they have alluded to having a darker past. |
| 112 | * HiredGuns: They're a former mercenary. |
| 113 | * HowDoYouSay: Because they've been speaking Japanese for so long, this comes up a few times when they're speaking English. |
| 114 | * InnateNightVision: As a half-elf. |
| 115 | * MagicKnight: In addition to their magic, Cel wields a huge crossbow. |
| 116 | * {{Omniglot}}: Has rarely encountered a language they don't speak. |
| 117 | * OverlyLongName: Celiquillithon. |
| 118 | %%* SteampunkGadgeteers |
| 119 | * TrollingTranslator: When Shoin is speaking Japanese to the party over the intercom, Cel tries this: |
| 120 | -->'''Zolf:''' What’s he talking about? |
| 121 | -->'''Cel:''' Oh, he was just saying ‘Did you enjoy the puzzle’ and ‘Well done’, and ‘That half-elf amongst you is devastatingly attractive and brilliant and everyone should listen to them more’.” |
| 122 | * WalkingSpoiler: Mentioning that Cel is played by Lydia spoils Sasha's departure from the show. |

| 139 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler: In Ancient Rome.]] |
| 140 | * {{Determinator}}: Extremely dedicated to his hunt, and determined to get whatever job needs doing done. |
| 141 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: His introduction involves him loudly insisting to his leader that he's [[{{Determinator}} capable of doing the task assigned to him]], and then zooming away at top speed. |
| 142 | * GoodIsNotSoft: While Grizzop always works towards justice, he's willing to take out kneecaps to do so. |
| 143 | * GroinAttack: Delivers one of these to Wilde. |
| 144 | * HappilyAdopted: By the Cult of Artemis. |

| 151 | * {{Kneecapping}}: Regularly threatens to shoot people's kneecaps off, and at one point, actually does. |
| 152 | * MagicKnight: Part of being a paladin. |
| 153 | * NotAfraidToDie: Particularly in the [[spoiler: Ancient Rome arc — he explains that he's already bested a god and he knows that he'll have a good afterlife, so he doesn't if he dies.]] |
| 154 | * TheMedic: As a paladin, he's the healer of the group. |
| 155 | * PintsizedPowerhouse: Since he's a goblin, he's quite small. Don't let it fool you. |

| 161 | * UndyingLoyalty: Towards Artemis. |
| 162 | * WalkingSpoiler: Mentioning that Grizzop is played by Ben spoils Zolf's departure from the show. |
| 163 | * YourDaysAreNumbered: An unusual example. Grizzop is a goblin, which gives him a life expectancy of 30. He's already 10 years old, and he's very aware that he has only 20 more years to serve Artemis. |

| 173 | Hamid is a well-to-do sorcerer hailing from a family of successful bankers in Cairo, Egypt, though he was sent to England when rather young for schooling reasons. He’s very fastidious about his appearance, and is apparently very tall for a halfling, perhaps thanks to his dragon ancestry. Very often will try to help others in need, even to his own detriment on occasion. [[spoiler: And, as of episode 127, the very last member of the original player characters who has been with the team the whole time.]] Played by Bryn Monroe. |
| 174 | ---- |
| 175 | * TheAtoner: |
| 176 | ** Was once a bully whose prank went wrong and killed several people; Hamid joined the mercenary group to be a hero and help people after what he did. |
| 177 | ** He gets an additional helping of this after the Shoin arc in season 4, after learning that [[spoiler:the kobolds he thoughtlessly murdered with a fireball spell were actually slaves under MindControl, and thus innocent]]. To make things even more awkward, [[spoiler:this show of violence made the surviving kobolds worship him out of terror, and they continue to follow him even after leaving the Institute]]. |
| 178 | * BadassInANiceSuit: Even when fireballing hordes of enemies, Hamid always wears an immaculate three-piece suit. |
| 179 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Is generally polite and soft-spoken, but very capable of burning his enemies to death. |
| 180 | * BigEater: As a halfling, Hamid enjoys far more than three meals a day. |
| 181 | * BlackMage: He's an evocation specialist, which makes him good at StuffBlowingUp. He does have a number of enchantment spells as well, though he uses less of them as time goes on. |
| 182 | * CallingTheOldManOut: In Cairo; Hamid confronts his dad about his tendency to make his children's mistakes "disappear" and his lack of emotional support. |
| 183 | * CampStraight: An aesthete who's very into makeup and fine clothes in addition to being very sensitive and emotionally open -- and also dates several women over the course of the story. By his own admission, he claims to be straight and to have no romantic interest in men. |
| 184 | * CatchPhrase: "Oh dear." |
| 185 | * CharacterDevelopment: Over the course of the show, works through a lot of his own guilt about what happened at university, becomes stronger as an adventurer, and learns how to lead. |
| 186 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: Bryn initially characterizes Hamid as "something of a playboy," but Hamid only flirts a handful of times in the first season, and Hamid's more notable as one of the few player characters that has spoken of a long-term relationship. |
| 187 | * ChildProdigy: Was an extremely bright and promising child; this is the reason that he's sent off to study in England at such a young age. Ends up a {{deconstruction}}, however, as his natural spellcasting abilities let him coast through his academic courses, leading to him ignoring his teachers and studies in favor of falling in with a bad crowd -- a situation that happens to a lot of child prodigies in RealLife. |
| 188 | -->"I couldn't do even the simplest spells. And then suddenly I could! Except it was easy, when they'd always said it would be hard, and... so I stopped listening to them altogether." |
| 189 | * ComingOfAgeStory: Hamid's character arc involves his progression from a failed university student to the leader of a mercenary group. |

| 195 | ** Gives another one after discovering [[spoiler:Sasra and Mirk]]'s corpses in the wake of [[spoiler:the airship crash]]. |
| 196 | * DoomedHometown: [[spoiler: Post-timeskip, Cairo is mostly abandoned. It later gets overrun completely by the time the party returns to London.]] |
| 197 | * DragonAncestry: The reason for his sorcerer powers. |
| 198 | * EmotionalPowers: Tends to turn more dragon-y in times of high stress. |
| 199 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: In his introduction in episode 1, Hamid appears extremely distressed as he loses a significant amount of money at a casino, [[{{Foreshadowing}} hinting at his family's history of gambling addiction]] and indicating his lack of direction in life. |
| 200 | * EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: Can cast Rainbow Pattern. |
| 201 | * TheFace: Hamid's charm and social graces mean that he often plays this role in the group. |
| 202 | * FamousAncestor: Apophis. |
| 203 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: [[spoiler: After exiting the rift, Azu and Hamid find themselves having lost 18 months, and the world is very, very different.]] |
| 204 | * GlassCannon: Among the heaviest hitters in the group due to area-of-affect spells such as Fireball, but, prior to Cel's arrival in the party, had the lowest hitpoints. |
| 205 | * {{Guyliner}}: Hamid wears this. |
| 206 | * IconicOutfit: A [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience purple and green]] three-piece suit. |
| 207 | * IdleRich: In the six months prior to the campaign's beginning, haven been kicked out of school, Hamid simply wasted time around London, living off the remains of the money he had from his parents. |
| 208 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: According to Hamid, this was his reason for becoming a bully with Gideon when he was younger; he was the only brown-skin person and the only halfling at his school, and didn't speak English well, so he joined the bullies in order to make friends. |
| 209 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: After all of his party members jump out a high-speed limo for literally no reason, Hamid reaches for a bottle of wine and takes a swig. |
| 210 | * InvoluntaryShapeshifter: At first, cannot control his hands shifting into dragon's claws, and is terrified when he does. |
| 211 | * IWillFindYou: To [[spoiler: Grizzop and Sasha after they fail to return from the planar shift.]] |
| 212 | * TheLeader: Of the Rangers after Zolf leaves. |
| 213 | * MassiveNumberedSiblings: Has two sisters (Saira and Aziza) and three brothers (Saleh, Ishak, and Ismail). |

| 215 | * MistakenForServant: Initially, at Edison's party. |
| 216 | * NeatFreak: Strongly dislikes being dirty or appearing untidy, and is constantly using Prestidigitation to clean up his appearance. |
| 217 | * NecktieHeadband: Sports one of these while leading a dance party in Damascus. |
| 218 | * NerdyBully: Seems to have been this, back in school; was involved with pranks in which he had to write down alchemical formulas. |
| 219 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Whenever Hamid fails to Prestidigitate himself after the most minor rumpling of his clothing or smearing of makeup, you can tell that he's not coping well. |
| 220 | * OverlyLongName: Several of the end-bloopers feature Bryn trying and failing to say his own character's name. |
| 221 | * ParentsInDistress: During the Cairo arc, his dad confesses to a crime he didn't commit. |
| 222 | * PhlebotinumInducedStupidity: Under Kafka's feeblemind spell. |
| 223 | * PlayingWithFire: From Scorching Ray to Fireball, Hamid has a tendency towards fire spells, likely due to his draconic ancestry. |
| 224 | * PrettyBoy: Hamid's known for being very attractive, and he has the Charisma stat to match. |
| 225 | * RealMenHateAffection: Strongly [[AvertedTrope averted]]; Hamid is very physically and emotionally affectionate. |
| 226 | * ReformedBully: Alongside Gideon, Hamid was a bully back in school, in order to prevent himself from being bullied. He's tried several times to distance himself from Gideon and his old ways, and his mercenary work seems to be the most successful he's been. |
| 227 | * ScarsAreForever: |
| 228 | ** Has a scar on his back from being knocked unconscious from the cold fungus in the basement of Kew Gardens. |
| 229 | ** As of episode 42, also has a helical scar running down one arm from being crushed under a rock when the roof of a tunnel fell in. |

| 231 | * SharpDressedMan: Almost always wearing a three-piece suit. |
| 232 | * SquishyWizard: It takes very little damage to make him unconscious. He also has a bit of a weak stomach. |
| 233 | * SomedayThisWillComeInHandy: Hamid's fine taste in clothes gives him experience in tailoring, which he uses to [[spoiler: sew sails for the ship in season 4]]. |
| 234 | * StrangerInAFamiliarLand: Experiences this twice in Cairo: firstly, when he returns from Europe for the first time in almost a decade and finds that his family dynamic has changed, and later, when he returns from [[spoiler:an hour on a different plane and 18 months later finds that his home is now the Harlequins' base of operations.]] |
| 235 | * StressVomit: Is rather prone to these. |
| 236 | * {{Telepathy}}: Can cast Detect Thoughts. |
| 237 | * TinyGuyHugeGirl: Platonically, with Azu. |
| 238 | * TraumaButton: After the planar shift in the season 3 finale goes disastrously wrong, separating him from Sasha and Grizzop as well as displacing him a year in time to a world where NothingIsTheSameAnymore, he develops a fear of planar portals. He keeps a lid on it for most of season 4, but he has a panic attack after traveling through [[spoiler:the interplanar flower buds in the Garden of Yerlick]] and learning that a similar (though much less extreme) time displacement occurred. He even flies off the handle at [[spoiler:Zolf]] for taking them through the portal, even though the alternative was likely certain death. |
| 239 | * TryingNotToCry: Bryn frequently notes that Hamid's holding back tears. |
| 240 | * UncannyFamilyResemblance: Between many members of the al-Tahan family, mentioned particularly between Hamid and his siblings Aziza and Saleh. |
| 241 | * YourMakeupIsRunning: Hamid's almost always wearing makeup, and given how prone he is to crying, it runs a fair bit. Thank goodness for Prestidigitation. |

| 262 | * CharacterDevelopment: Sasha's character arc involves learning to trust and rely on her friends. |
| 263 | * ChoiceOfTwoWeapons: Wields both knives and bombs. |
| 264 | * CoveredWithScars: While all the characters have several scars from falling under 0hp, Sasha has the most; see ScarsAreForever. |
| 265 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: How she lost one of her fingers. Growing up in Other London wasn't particularly nice, but thanks to being related to certain powerful people in it, Sasha had an even worse time of it. |
| 266 | * DeadManWriting: Her [[spoiler: letter to the party, hundreds of years in the future.]] |

| 270 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: When given control of the limo to Damascus. |
| 271 | * DualWielding: Favours two daggers in her fighting style. |
| 272 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: In the first episode. Sasha realizes she's being followed, tries to slip into a crowd and disguise herself, only to get powder all over a bunch of strangers. She proceeds to repeatedly [[BadLiar lie poorly]] about why she's being followed. |
| 273 | * EvilUncle: Barrett Rackett, to Sasha, as well as an [[AbusiveParents abusive parental figure.]] |
| 274 | * ExtendedDisarming: Sasha gets one of these before meeting Apophis; she carries upwards of [[BladeEnthusiast 15 daggers]], three bombs, and a [[WalkingArmory tanglefoot bag]] on her person at all times. |
| 275 | * {{Fingore}}: Cut off her own finger to remove Barrett's ring and escape from his watch. |
| 276 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] Sasha is CoveredWithScars, few of which are subtle. |
| 277 | * GraveHumor: Alex jokes that Sasha's epitaph might be "We hardly knew ye. She preferred it that way," or else simply a question mark. |
| 278 | * HatesBeingTouched: And will stab you if you try. Almost always refuses physical affection, even from friends. |
| 279 | * HiddenWeapons: Sasha has a ''lot'' of daggers. Most of them are not readily visible. |
| 280 | * LessonsInSophistication: Eldarion apparently tried to give these to Sasha |
| 281 | * LockedIntoStrangeness: After a hit from a magical creature in Rome. |
| 282 | * LoveableRogue: While not necessarily the nicest person, she comes across as awkwardly well meaning (for the most part), thrust into a life of stealing by her upbringing and familial relations. Doesn’t mean she doesn’t like thieving of course, but she doesn’t normally do it specifically to be unpleasant. |
| 283 | * MundaneLuxury: Because of her lack of experience outside Other London, Sasha tends to have this, getting excited by sandwiches, large chairs, and train rides. |
| 284 | * {{Nephewism}}: Was raised by her uncle. |
| 285 | * NoSocialSkills: Her low charisma score really shows. |
| 286 | * NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: Tells this to Barrett after he's delivered to her hogtied. |
| 287 | -->'''Sasha:''' I don’t think you’re as important as you thought you were. You should be locked up and not know what’s gonna happen next and know that you are not important for what happens to the world or to — to me, cause you’re not. You’re not important. Just... a man on the floor. |
| 288 | * NotUsedToFreedom: Still getting used to living outside Other London, and therefore somewhat agoraphobic. Her experiences with Barrett have also left her reticent to trusting others. |
| 289 | * NotWorthKilling: Decides that Barrett is this. |
| 290 | * TheOneWhoMadeItOut: Not only makes it out of Other London, but travels the world as part of a mercenary group working for the Meritocrats. |
| 291 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Sasha is repeatedly described as almost never shouting or screaming, even when in significant pain, and very rarely hugs anyone, making her reaction to [[spoiler: Grizzop's death]] particularly heartbreaking. |
| 292 | * OurZombiesAreDifferent: Becomes undead after a botched resurrection; the result is something like a degenerative illness. |
| 293 | * ProperlyParanoid: Of Barrett, and of things going too well; the latter serves her well for realizing that they're in Mr Ceiling's simulation. |
| 294 | * PummelingTheCorpse: Sasha does this to one of Barrett's goons in episode 89, after she delivers the final blow to it before he can even take it turn: |
| 295 | -->'''Sasha, as she stabs it repeatedly:''' Why! Why! Everywhere I go! This isn't about you! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis You! Tell him! How! Little! He! Matters!]] |
| 296 | * RavenHairIvorySkin: How she's described. |
| 297 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivers one of these to Barrett; see NotAfraidOfYouAnymore. |
| 298 | * RecruitedFromTheGutter: Sasha joins the mercenary company after they save her from Barret's goons. Although she had had one previous legal job as an antique appraiser, mercenary work offers her more money, protection, and chances to see the world than she's ever had, and as such, she's incredibly loyal to the party. |
| 299 | * RoofHopping: Is generally quite good at this. |
| 300 | * ScarsAreForever: Gets a scar every time she's knocked unconscious from going into negative hitpoints. So far she has a scar on her neck from caught in an explosion, a falcon from Bertie's amour perfectly imprinted into her back from when he fell on her in Paris, an autopsy scar down her chest from having her organs taken out, and [[spoiler: blue lighting scars from her ice dagger exploding.]] |
| 301 | * SkewedPriorities: While trying to escape a water trap under the factories in Damascus, Sasha is loathe to give up her adamantine dagger, even when it might save her life. |
| 302 | * StealthExpert: Par for the course, as a rogue. |
| 303 | * StealthHiBye: Enjoys sneaking up on people and talking to them before they realize she's there, and leaving just as stealthily. |
| 304 | * StreetSmart: Even has a Knowledge (Local) to back it up. |
| 305 | * TheSlowPath: [[spoiler: Sasha's ultimate fate. Due to being shunted back in time to just before the fall of Rome during a planar shift spell, she is unable to find a way back to the present and is left stranded thousands of years before anything she knows will even be a concept. Eventually though she lives out the rest of her life, founding a school for orphans to teach them what she knows of being a thief.]] |
| 306 | * TheSneakyGuy: Easily the best at sneaking in the group. |
| 307 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Official things have her listed as Sasha Racke''t'', but there's a lot of people who spell it Racke''tt'', to the extent where all the tags on [=AO3=] are for Sasha Rackett. |
| 308 | * TeethFlying: During the fight outside the Temple of Aphrodite, Sasha loses a molar. |
| 309 | * TokenHuman: After Bertie dies, Sasha is the only human in the team, alongside a halfling, a goblin, and an orc. |
| 310 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: After visiting Dover, has a strong love for lobster, and in particularly dire-lobster. |
| 311 | * TrappedInThePast: [[spoiler: See TheLongRoadHome.]] |
| 312 | * TheUndead: Before she gets healed by Fairhands. |
| 313 | * UndeathlyPallor: When she's undead, she gets even paler than usual. |
| 314 | * UnreliableExpositor: About her tutor, Eldarion. Although it's clear that Eldarion didn't treat her very well, it's clear that Sasha wasn't aware Eldarion and Barrett's actual relationship and didn't understand fully what was going on. |
| 315 | * YouCantGoHomeAgain: [[spoiler: Even if Sasha weren't TrappedInThePast, London is completely off-limits due to the infection.]] |
| 316 | * YourDaysAreNumbered: Progressively becomes more and more undead, and is given about a month until she turns into... something else. Fortunately, the party eventually manages to acquire the Heart of Aphrodite in time to reverse this. |

| 322 | ->''"I don’t want any of you dying. You are here because of me. I hired you. I’ve got you involved in this stuff, so I’m responsible for you."'' |
| 323 | |
| 324 | ---- |
| 325 | |
| 326 | The dwarven leader of the Rangers, We're Still Working on the Name. Zolf is a cleric of Poseidon, who he took faith in after somehow surviving a nasty shipwreck. He’s generally good at looking after his team and making sure they’re not about to fall unconscious from damage, and doesn’t like rushing into potentially nasty situations without doing some planning first. Has been known to enjoy a vapid romance novel or two when he has the time. Played by Ben Meredith. |
| 327 | ---- |
| 328 | * AngerBornOfWorry: Zolf is prone to this. After their debacle in Kew Gardens, he's angry at Hamid for trying to "play the hero" — but ends his tirade by confessing that he feels responsible for them and is trying to keep them safe. |
| 329 | * AnArmAndALeg: Begins the series with one peg leg and subsequently loses the other in the Paris catacombs. |
| 330 | * ArtificialLimbs: [[spoiler: When he returns in season four, he has two prosthetic legs.]] |
| 331 | * BrokenPedestal: Zolf doesn't want to meet Harrison Cambell for fear of being disappointed in his greatest hero. Unfortunately, he doesn't really get a choice in that matter. |
| 332 | * BrutalHonesty: Zolf is fond of this: |
| 333 | -->'''Hamid:''' We should stick together, I think. It won’t be too bad, Sasha. |
| 334 | -->'''Zolf:''' It will be pretty bad. |
| 335 | * TheBusCameBack |
| 336 | * ClothingDamage: After getting struck by lightning multiple times, all his non-magical clothing burns away, much to the interest of several players. |
| 337 | * CrisisOfFaith: Zolf gets one of these in Poseidon after meeting Mr Ceiling and accidentally ruining the world's systems. |
| 338 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Involves the death of his brother, deserting the navy, and the loss of one of his legs. |
| 339 | * [[HandicappedBadass Disabled Badass]]: Is very capable of holding his own in a fight, whether with one leg or none. |
| 340 | * DisabledSnarker: Particularly after losing his second leg, Zolf is quick to snark about his lack of abilities. |
| 341 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Is introduced as exhausted at an absolutely incompetent young man who wants to be in his mercenary company. |
| 342 | * FingerSnapLighter: Zolf is fond of doing this with Spark. |
| 343 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] Zolf has several scars and is [[AnArmAndALeg missing both legs]], but is a good person. |
| 344 | * HateAtFirstSight: With Wilde, whom he headbutts within the first ten minutes of meeting. [[spoiler: After the timeskip, they seem to have worked out their differences.]] |
| 345 | * HealingHands: Naturally, as a cleric. |
| 346 | * HellBentForLeather: [[spoiler: After the timeskip,]] Zolf wears a good deal of leather. |
| 347 | * HeroicBSOD: After destroying Mr Ceiling and stopping its influence, thereby also destroying most of the world's computing power and the networks the automatons were on, making them functionally useless, Zolf is hit very hard by the aftermath, leading him to question whether he and the party really did the right thing what with the immense level of destruction of world technology. Of course, losing both his peg leg and his functional leg both does not help. |
| 348 | * InnateNightVision: As a dwarf, he naturally has darkvision, letting him see in places with no light whatsoever. |
| 349 | * ItsAllMyFault: Has a tendency to blame himself for the harm that comes on the Rangers. |
| 350 | * IWillOnlySlowYouDown: In the Paris catacombs, Hamid, Sasha, and Zolf are running from a huge unseen monster, and Zolf no longer has any legs; Zolf tells Sasha and Hamid to leave him behind, but they refuse. |
| 351 | * [[KeepingTheHandicap Keeping the Disability]]: Rejects Poseidon's water legs. |
| 352 | * TheLeader: Of the Rangers. Once he leaves, the Rangers have a much harder time staying on task and not getting sidetracked by petty arguments. |
| 353 | %%* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: About Harisson Cambell. |
| 354 | * LeaveMeAlone: After defeating Mr Ceiling, Zolf shuts himself in his room for several days, rebuking Hamid's attempts to talk; he later leaves the party altogether to deal with his own issues. |
| 355 | * MeaningfulName: The fact that his last name is "Smith" despite being a dwarf is an early clue that Zolf's family is more than they seem. |
| 356 | * TheMedic: As a cleric among a fighter, a rogue, and a sorcerer, he's the only one in the group with any actual healing capabilities. |
| 357 | * MementoMacGuffin: Wears a ring from his dead brother, which turns out to connect him the Harlequins, an anti-meritocratic group. |
| 358 | * NayTheist: [[spoiler: After the timeskip: to him, gods are very powerful but not necessarily moral.]] |

| 366 | * TakeMeInstead: Says almost these exact words to Poseidon after Sasha starts drowning while crossing the Channel, before jumping in himself. |
| 367 | %%* TalkingInYourDreams: To Poseidon. |
| 368 | * TeamChef: [[spoiler: After the timeskip]]; co-opts the kitchen of the inn they're staying at to cook for the group. |
| 369 | * TeamDad: Is protective and caring of the group, despite his gruff exterior, and is the group's leader. |
| 370 | * RageAgainstTheHeavens: Doesn't always have the best relationship with Poseidon. |
| 371 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Bertie, eventually leading to Zolf's departure from the show. |

| 678 | %%* BadassInANiceSuit |
| 679 | * BadassInDistress: Several times. While escaping Paris, he is poisoned by La Gourmande's forces and unconscious for most of a fight. Later, in Cairo and Damascus, he suffers the effects of a curse that prevents him from sleeping, weakening him significantly. |
| 680 | * BeneathTheMask: Wilde keeps up the appearance of being put-together — even while suffering from a curse that prevents him from sleeping. It takes Grizzop finding him bleeding from his face for Wilde to admit there's anything wrong. |
| 681 | * BloodFromEveryOrifice: Grizzop finds Wilde bleeding from his ears and nose in Damascus. |
| 682 | * CameBackStrong: Minor compared to most examples of the trope, but [[spoiler:the Ursans' resurrection ritual gives him a positive spiritual connection to the Garden of Yerlick and the other resurrectees]]. |

| 702 | * PrettyBoy: Outrageously attractive. |
| 703 | * ProperlyParanoid: In season 4, he [[spoiler: locks Azu and Hamid in a cell for seven days and refuses to interact with them because he needs to prove that they're not infected. Zolf reveals that Wilde used to be more lax about the infection protocol, and suffered the consequences of not being paranoid.]] |

| 705 | * QuestGiver: As their official handler, is usually the one pointing the party in the right direction. |
| 706 | * SharpDressedMan: Again, he's Creator/OscarWilde. |
| 707 | * SleepDeprivation: Wilde is subjected to this. |
| 708 | * SmugSmiler: It takes a lot to faze Wilde's generally smug expression. |
| 709 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: [[spoiler: Post timeskip]], Alex notes that Wilde has this: he's cold to anyone he suspects [[spoiler:might be infected]], and warm when [[spoiler:they can prove they're not]]. |
| 710 | * TraumaCongaLine: Let's see... drugged in Paris while trying to escape an army, and eventually forced to find his way out of the city entirely by himself, then subjected to weeks of insomnia to the point of bleeding from his face while realizing that his organization has been infiltrated, then loses his team, the L.O.L.O.M.G., to mysterious circumstances, then [[spoiler: survives an apocalypse, earning himself a disfiguring facial scar]], then [[spoiler:straight-up ''dies in an airship crash'']]. Guy really can't catch a break. It gets to the point where [[spoiler:he nearly refuses to be resurrected, just because he's so exhausted]]. |
| 711 | * {{Workaholic}}: Constantly working himself to the point of exhaustion. Often, if the party stops talking to him for a couple of minutes, he'll start doing paperwork. |
| 712 | [[/folder]] |

| 714 | [[folder: Saira Hawaa Layla al-Tahan]] |

| 722 | * KnightTemplarParent: Of Saleh Jr and Hamid, in particular; he's willing to go to any length to keep them safe from their own mistakes. |
| 723 | * MoneyIsNotPower: All the money in the world isn't enough to avoid prison for either himself or his son (and in the end, both.) |
| 724 | * MorallyBankruptBanker: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzagged.]] Saleh Sr isn't completely morally corrupt and genuinely cares about his children to the point of [[ZeroApprovalGambit taking the blame for Saleh Jr.'s crimes]], but his first instinct in any situation is to try to cover up crimes such as murder with money. |
| 725 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: Outlives Aziza. |

| 774 | A druid of the Ursans, a group of people living in the Northern Wastes. She joins the party to help them stop the Simulacrum. |
| 775 | ---- |
| 776 | * BackFromTheDead: Presumably experienced this, as she has pure white hair, which is noted to be a side-effect of the Ursans' resurrection ritual. [[CameBackStrong This has given her a strong connection with the Garden of Yerlick]], allowing her to act as the party's guide. |
| 777 | * DiseaseBleach: Has pure white hair, presumably as a result of coming BackFromTheDead. |
| 778 | * HeroicBSOD: She is stunned into mute horror at seeing the source of the blight in the Garden of Yerlick. Alex's narration describes it as "someone witnessing a blasphemy so profound it has overturned everything they thought they knew". |
