| 16 | -->'''Race:''' Human |
| 17 | -->'''Class:''' Wizard (School of Chronurgy) |
| 18 | |
| 19 | The mercurial principal and eponymous founder of Aguefort Academy. |
| 20 | ---- |
| 21 | * AlliterativeName: '''A'''rthur '''A'''guefort , as well as his school, '''A'''guefort '''A'''dventuring '''A'''cademy. |
| 22 | * TheArchmage: He's an incredibly powerful and knowledgeable wizard, though we don't really see the crux of his magical abilities directly for the entirety of Fantasy High. [[spoiler: He demonstrates the extent of his powers when he wages war against the entirety of Fallinel, and though he doesn't succeed, he still managed to take a few cities and cause enough of a ruckus that Fallinel and Solace nearly went to war again.]] |
| 23 | * BaldOfAuthority: While not necessarily part of a team, unless you count the Council of Chosen, he is the principal of the school. |
| 24 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Due to a combination of getting on in years and just being a straight up oddball, Aguefort's EstablishingCharacterMoment has him give a rambling speech to the student body that goes off on wild tangents and takes a while to coalesce into a coherent point. |
| 25 | ** Exaggerated after he [[spoiler: sneaks out of Heaven and comes back to life]]. Not only does he keep his habit of going into rambling speeches, but [[spoiler: being free of the poison Kalvaxus served him, he's much more capable to make his wildest impulses reality and the toll that running Sol's heaven and coming back to life took on his sanity, even reversing the entire flow of time in order to hear a mildly funny quip.]] |
| 26 | * CoolOldGuy: He may be weird but there's no denying the badassery of [[spoiler: sacrificing his life so he could revive two students he barely knew]]. |
| 27 | * CorruptedCharacterCopy: He's a pretty blatant parody of [[Franchise/HarryPotter Albus Dumbledore]]. But while Dumbledore was merely [[EccentricMentor eccentric]], Aguefort is straight up [[HeroicComedicSociopath batshit insane]]. |
| 28 | * CrazyEnoughToWork: He's absolutely unhinged which means every other moment he's on screen is a [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments Moment of Awesome]]. |
| 29 | ** Immediately [[spoiler: kills himself and the nearest staff member to revive Kristen and Gorgug]]. |
| 30 | ** Sneaks into [[spoiler: and out of]] heaven. |
| 31 | ** [[spoiler:'Kills' Sol]]. |
| 32 | ** [[spoiler:Brazenly assaults federal officers and challenges the others to do something about it to protect the party from jail]]. |
| 33 | ** [[spoiler:Grows 450 feet, manages to move the entire planet to facilitate the appearance of him DUNKING THE SUN, manifests thousands of terracotta warriors from beneath the earth, and blasts off nearby mountain caps with eye beams. All because a student asked for help.]] |
| 34 | * DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: [[spoiler: The reason he's cut ties with his daughter Ayda is that she was the one who asked for it.]] |
| 35 | * DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler: Knocked out Sol and took his place in secrecy]]. |
| 36 | * ExtremeOmnisexual: Aguefort's sex life is described in very graphic detail in his biography, where it's mentioned that he even fucked a phoenix. |
| 37 | * GenreSavvy: When he gives a speech to the Academy on the first day of school of ''Freshman Year,'' his definition of "hero" aptly describes your average D&D player character. |
| 38 | -->But what is an adventurer? One who goes on adventures? I say that an adventurer is a hero, and what is a hero? A hero is someone with the strength of heart, courage of spirit, and the might of will to go to strange lands and enact violence on things there. We go to places where there are things that must be destroyed, and we destroy them. Wandering from town to town, getting into trouble, meeting in flophouses and taverns and getting into scrapes with the law and otherwise finding ourselves engaged in all manner of tomfoolery and shenanigans sometimes violent, sometimes fatal. Yes fatal. A hero is a violent wanderer who enacts their will bloodily and with strange magicks upon the world. BUT does a hero truly stand alone? (mirthful chuckle) No, the strength of the hero is the strength of the party. |
| 39 | * HeroicRRoD: His attempt to [[spoiler: wage war on Fallinel all by himself]] left him pretty messed up physically. |
| 40 | * InterspeciesRomance[=/=]DivineDate: He, at the very least, seduced and bedded a phoenix, who, in this world, are celestial beings. |
| 41 | * KidFromTheFuture: [[AmbiguousSituation Maybe.]] [[spoiler:Given his [[SitcomArchnemesis unexplained animosity toward Gorgug]] and an offhand response to asking if he was Gorgug's dad in the first season, it is implied that he might in fact be Gorgug's son, given Aguefort's use of chronomancy.]] |
| 42 | * MentorOccupationalHazard: Not that he had much opportunity to teach the main characters much of anything, since he [[spoiler: dies on the first day of school in order to revive Kristen and Gorgug]]. |
| 43 | * OneManArmy: [[spoiler: Fights the armies of Fallinel by himself. He doesn't win against them, but he still managed to fight for a while and survive.]] |
| 44 | * OnlyTheChosenMayWield: One of only two people capable of [[spoiler: handling 'Watches and Wards', the book binding Kalvaxis to the school]] without being knocked unconscious. The other being [[spoiler: Arthur's lover, the Elven Oracle and then Adaine when she became the new Oracle after the old one was killed in the shipwreck]]. |
| 45 | * ParentalNeglect: Hasn't seen his daughter, Ayda, in over 300 years leaving her to raise herself each time she resurrects [[spoiler:because he's trying to respect her wish that he never contact her again. She even told him she would leave her future selves notes to never give him a second chance as a father. He's unaware that another version of Ayda burnt those notes in an attempt to start fresh.]] |
| 46 | * ProtagonistCenteredMorality: [[InvokedTrope Actively encourages]] this mindset in his students. To him, true adventures are violent transgressors that make the world fold under their desires. Laws and ethics just get in the way. |
| 47 | --> '''Arthur:''' (''after [[spoiler: brainwashing several federal agents]]'') Ah, adventures: we do whatever we want, with no consequence. The Aguefort way! |
| 48 | * Really700YearsOld: Revealed to be centuries old, according to supplementary historical articles and his personal autobiography. |
| 49 | * SitcomArchNemesis: For some reason, he's really annoyed by Gorgug as of Sophomore Year, verbally attacking him pretty much every time the latter speaks. [[spoiler:It might make sense if he was serious about [[LukeIMightBeYourFather Gorgug]] [[KidFromTheFuture being his dad]].]] |
| 50 | * TimeMaster: His chosen school of Magic is Chronurgy, which focuses on time manipulation. |
| 51 | * WizardBeard: His character art depicts him with a flowing white beard that drapes all the way down to his waist. |

| 54 | [[folder:Vice Principal Goldenhoard]] |
| 55 | !! Vice Principal Goldenhoard [[spoiler:/Kalvaxus, Emperor of the Red Waste]] |
| 56 | !!! Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan |
| 57 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goldenhoard.png]] |
| 58 | [[caption-width-right:350:''"Immediate detention."'']] |
| 59 | -->'''Race:''' Red Dragonborn / [[spoiler:Red Dragon]] |
| 60 | |
| 61 | The strict vice principal of Aguefort. |
| 62 | ---- |
| 63 | * BigBad: [[spoiler:He's secretly Kalvaxus, the Emperor of the Red Waste who wishes to return to his previous position of power, thus making him the mastermind behind a good portion of the campaign's conflict [[FinalBoss as well as the party's final opponent]].]] |
| 64 | * BullyingADragon: Even if the trope weren't literal enough with him being a DraconicHumanoid, every act of disrespect, defiance or mischief directed at him becomes this with TheReveal that [[spoiler: he's actually Kalvaxus, Emperor of the Red Waste, as well as an actual, full-blooded dragon]]. Even when [[spoiler: his true identity is exposed]], the Bad Kids keep lobbing petty insults at him while they take him on. |
| 65 | * TheComicallySerious: Acts as a foil to the goofier characters - namely Arthur Aguefort and Fig - and puzzled by their bizarre antics. [[spoiler: This trait carries over even after he's exposed as the villain]]. |
| 66 | * DiminishingVillainThreat: [[spoiler: In Sophomore Year he attempts to recruit the damned souls of his former minions back to his side, but as he's now a LivingShip without any real way to do anything he's just ignored.]] |
| 67 | * DraconicHumanoid: The only dragonborn in the entire school faculty. Becomes a plot point later when it turns out [[spoiler: there are no dragonborns on the school's payroll, since Goldenhoard is an actual dragon]]. |
| 68 | * EatenAlive: [[spoiler: Riz and his mom go to town on him as they shred and eat whatever they can from his chest while he's still alive. Subverted when he's brought back so the pure maidens can have their turn to kill him.]] |
| 69 | * EmbarassingNickname: Fig starts a chant calling him "Goldenrod" and the nickname sticks, much to his chagrin. [[spoiler: In fact, when Bill Seacaster turns him into a LivingShip he determines that nickname frustrated him so much that he names the ship "The Goldenrod" just to humiliate him further.]] |
| 70 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: Killing and subjugating people is fine and dandy to him, but one thing you can say for him is he's not homophobic. Also, he winces when Fabian decks Penelope, being quite [[WouldNotHitAGirl put off by it]]. In addition, he is disturbed and enraged by Fig's attempts to flirt with him, though it's downplayed in that he's willing to use the threat of reciprocating as a way to psych her out during the final battle.]] |
| 71 | * FinalBoss: Of Season 1 of ''Fantasy High''. |
| 72 | * HumiliationConga: [[spoiler:As Kalvaxus, the Queen and her greatest warriors once had to take him down. This time he is confronted by a "bunch of losers" in the form of the Bad Kids. He is killed by Riz who proceeds to begin eating his head alongside Sklonda. Then he gets resurrected only so the Maidens can kill him again. Finally, he is sent to Hell where Bill Seacaster rips him apart and turns him into a LivingShip.]] |
| 73 | * ICallItVera: Totes around a cricket bat he calls "Hawthorne, Cleaver of Heinies!" |
| 74 | * IControlMyMinionsThrough: [[spoiler: Bribery. He's not a really smart bad guy, but he is really rich and offered to all of his minions what they wanted, like being prom queen for Penelope, owning the trapped maidens for Biz, or allowing Aelwyn to escape her family's abuse.]] |
| 75 | * LaughablyEvil: Given the tone of ''Fantasy High'' in general this is only a given. During the FinalBoss he [[StrawmanPolitical loudly proclaims he's a Libertarian]] and has to deal with the Bad Kids constantly making fun of him during the fight. |
| 76 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Once he is released of Aguefort's binding spell and returns to his original dragon form.]] |
| 77 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Is a hard-ass and known to carry around a cricket bat for the purposes of corporal punishment, but takes care of the main six after their ordeal with the corn monsters. |
| 78 | * RedemptionRejection: Arthur Aguefort [[spoiler: polymorphed him into a humanoid form so that he could live among the people he once tormented and change his ways as one of them, with his only stipulations being that he had to serve Arthur as the vice principal of his school and wasn't allowed to hurt anyone of Solisean citizenship.]] How does he repay this act of kindness? [[spoiler: By manipulating the Elven Oracle's prophecy so he could break free from his restraints and dominate Solace again.]] |
| 79 | * SmugSnake: [[spoiler: He believes he's the evil mastermind of the story. He's the only one close to believe that, as Aelwyn outright calls him a moron, and the Bad Kids insult his intelligence a lot after they realise how clueless he was about the Nightmare King's plans.]] |
| 80 | * SternTeacher: Describes himself as in charge of disciplining students at school. |
| 81 | * ThisCannotBe: As he says while [[spoiler:Riz stabs him in the head]]. |
| 82 | -->''[[spoiler:"I had a whole plan! I did everything right! The prophecy!"]]'' |
| 83 | * TopHeavyGuy: His character's artwork depicts him as such. |
| 84 | * WalkingSpoiler: The penultimate episode reveals that [[spoiler: he is really the BigBad Kalvaxus, Emperor of the Red Waste and not even a dragonborn, but a red dragon who was cursed and bound into Principal Aguefort's service]]. |

| 92 | -->'''Race:''' Human |
| 93 | -->'''Class:''' Fighter |
| 94 | |
| 95 | Aguefort Academy's gym teacher and coach for the Owlbears. |
| 96 | ---- |
| 97 | * ArcVillain: [[spoiler:As the secret head of the Harvestmen, he's this for the entire arc involving them, which lasts until a little after the halfway point of the campaign.]] |
| 98 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Comes off as a supportive coach, a passionate sports-player, a reasonable authority figure for Kristen and all-around nice guy, [[spoiler: but he's really the leader of a fanatical ApocalypseCult]]. Even before that, a conversation after the trip to the Black Pit shows [[spoiler:he believes homosexuals are doomed to hell, and [[ImpliedDeathThreat asks for the location of the "friend" of Kristen who didn't have fervent belief in Helio]]]]. |
| 99 | * BearsAreBadNews: Summons an Owlbear to fight the party at some point. |
| 100 | * BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: Riz kills him by shooting him in the head in Episode 10]]. |
| 101 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: His death wraps up most of the plot threads the Bad Kids have uncovered up to that point(namely that one of Aguefort's faculty was secretly evil and the existence of the Harvestmen), sending them into a few months of downtime as [[spoiler:Kalvaxus' true plan begins to unfold]]. |
| 102 | * TheFundamentalist: Subverted. Daybreak seems like a loyal follower of the Helionic faith but when he later lays out his ideology he makes it clear he doesn't really pay attention to scripture and [[TautologicalTemplar just thinks that so long as he worships Helio nothing he does can be wrong]]. |
| 103 | * KnightTemplar: The main characters discover Daybreak is [[spoiler: the leader of the Harvestmen, a militant off-shoot of the Church of Helio that believes the world is impure and needs to be cleansed in an apocalyptic event]]. |
| 104 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Has no problem taking Bill Seacaster's money to let Fabian on the Owlbears and then cheats him out of it by kicking him off the team (and giving him detention for even mentioning it). |
| 105 | * ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler: He was paying for [[DarkAndTroubledPast Zayn Darkshadow's]] apartment, and used this as leverage to make him do the Harvestmen's dirty work.]] |
| 106 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: [[spoiler:As Kristen learns on asking him, he believes homosexuals are going to hell.]] |
| 107 | * PottyFailure: Adaine hits him with a Ray of Sickness between the kidneys, resulting in him violently evacuating his bowels. |
| 108 | * VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:He degenerates into mad raving by the end of his fight in Episode 10.]] |
| 109 | -->'''Coach Daybreak:''' (''to Kristen'') [[spoiler:You befriended these ''heretics'' and ''liars?!'' You have ''rejected the faith'', Kristen!]] |
| 110 | * WouldHurtAChild: Has no problem [[spoiler: turning [[NiceGirl Kristen]] into a [[{{Hellgate}} Hellmouth]] for the sake of bringing about the apocalypse.]] It's also confirmed that he's the one who [[spoiler: mauled and hospitalized Biz]]. |

| 120 | The school guidance counselor. |
| 121 | ---- |
| 122 | * BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:Aguefort shoots him in the head as part of the ritual to revive Gorgug]]. |
| 123 | * CatchPhrase: "There's some really powerful feelings here." |
| 124 | * DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler:His spirit is added to Gorthalax's collection in the Bottomless Pit.]] |
| 125 | * MisplacedRetribution: After [[spoiler:being murdered by Aguefort to revive Gorgug and becoming a ghost]] he understandably has "unfinished business" with Principal Aguefort. However, he also seems to blame Gorgug and the Bad Kids, possessing people to attack them. |
| 126 | * VengefulGhost: [[spoiler:When Gorgug encounters him in the afterlife, Mr. Gibbons eyes glow red and he claims to have "unfinished business" because his boss murdered him. He later possesses and attacks the Bad Kids as a ghost.]] |
| 127 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:Spends a single interrupted detention with the Bad Kids before he is killed by Principal Aguefort to revive Gorgug.]] |

| 136 | -->'''Class:''' Warlock (The Celestial) |
| 137 | |
| 138 | The lunch lady. |
| 139 | ---- |
| 140 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Is corrupted by the influence of the book Adaine stole on her first day which causes her to attack the Bad Kids and leads to [[spoiler:Adaine killing her.]] |
| 141 | * CoolOldLady: She immediately earns Fig's respect by being this because she smokes at school despite not being supposed to. Also, when Fig decides to turn opening corn drums into just playing the drums, Doreen is impressed with her talent and encourages Fig to attend classes by reasoning that whilst she might not learn a lot of anything important she should at least see what bullshit they're selling. |
| 142 | * DiedHappilyEverAfter: Kristen encounters Doreen in heaven and finds that she now looks younger and is happy smoking and flirting with male and female angels. |
| 143 | * {{Forgiveness}}: [[spoiler:Posthumously forgives Adaine for killing her, realizing it was in defense and explaining her last words were just because she was angry in the moment.]] |
| 144 | * WakeUpCallBoss: And also the ''very first fight'' of the series. The fight with her starts with a lot of jokes about "corn cuties" and failing to jump up on tables. It ends with [[spoiler:two characters dead and another two close to it]]. |

| 158 | ---- |
| 159 | * AcademicAlphaBitch: Condescendingly compliments Adaine on her first day of school and noted to run a lot of the school's extracurricular clubs. [[spoiler: She also happens to be part of the palimpsest conspiracy, and is the one to befriend many of the girls who are trapped in the crystals to use in Kalvaxus's unbinding ritual]]. |
| 160 | * AccidentalMisnaming: Adaine refers to her as [[Franchise/HarryPotter Penelope Clearwater]] at one point, though she's not around to hear it. |
| 161 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: She maintains a relatively nice if slightly bitchy persona around the Bad Kids and other friends at school. [[spoiler:By the final episode it transpires that she's far more ruthless and insane than she first seemed.]] |
| 162 | * CerebusRetcon: Her entire scheme to become prom queen takes on a much darker tone when the fallout of her actions [[spoiler:implode her family; her parents end up divorcing and Sam is left a traumatic mess.]] |
| 163 | * EvilFormerFriend: To [[spoiler:Sam Nightingale]], one of the Maidens, who has been her best friend since they were children. |
| 164 | -->'''Penelope''': "[[spoiler:I let them put my best friend in a crystal!]] You think you're going to take this from me?" |
| 165 | ** Becomes even worse when we learn that [[spoiler: her family took Sam in when she got disowned by her birth mom, making her betrayal a case of CainAndAbel.]] |
| 166 | * EvilMakesYouMonstrous: By the time of Sophomore Year [[spoiler: she's become a full fledged fiend stuck in Hell, with silver shards embedded in her head that form a mock crown, a scorched prom dress, sunken eyeless sockets, and razor sharp teeth.]] |
| 167 | * HumbleGoal: Her only goal is to become Prom Queen. [[spoiler: For that, she's ready to participate in a conspiracy who hurt her very best friend/adopted sister in order to awaken an ancient evil dragon.]] |
| 168 | * SkewedPriorities: During the battle at the prom, [[spoiler:Penelope constantly blames the Bad Kids for ruining prom and her dress, even as she is badly injured and was one of those who helped Kalvaxus be released in the middle of prom]]. |

| 181 | ---- |
| 182 | * AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: After the final battle, Fabian decides to cut one of his hands off.]] |
| 183 | * AntiClimaxBoss: Downplayed. [[spoiler: He's killed almost immediately in Prompocalypse and was built up as a major threat in the fight, but he's definitely not the final boss. He's also much more of a problem when he reappears in "Blast from the Passed," presumably using the same stats.]] |
| 184 | -->'''Brennan''': [[spoiler:Sometimes you make a villain and he dies in the first two rounds, did you guys know that?]] |
| 185 | * BigManOnCampus: Runs unopposed as Aguefort's Prom King and is the captain of the Owlbears; he is more or less what Fabian tries to be at school. |
| 186 | * DumbJock: Doesn't seem too bright and little slow on the uptake. |
| 187 | * HiddenDepths: Despite his noted ditzziness, he actually explains the incorrect usage of "less questions" as opposed to "fewer questions" when Adaine corrects Penelope's grammar. |
| 188 | * ImpaledPalm: [[spoiler:The bloody bandages around his hand identify him as the Harvestman who took out Fabian's eye before being impaled through his palm during the attack on Seacaster Manor]]. |
| 189 | * JerkJock: [[spoiler: Aside from him being a murderous villain,]] he's also noted to be bigoted jerk by Ragh, [[spoiler:whom Dayne punched in the eye upon learning he was gay and had feelings for him]]. |
| 190 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Implied. [[spoiler:As noted under JerkJock, he gave Ragh a black eye after the latter confessed his feelings for him, suggesting that he's violently homophobic]]. |

| 207 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: Is possessed by the Nightmare's King's forces and fights the Bad Kids along them]]. |
| 208 | * TheBully: Ragh is the classic depiction of this archetype, a beefy jock that picks on the more socially ostracized kids at school; namely Riz, Gorgug, Kristen and Zayn Darkshadow. |
| 209 | * BullyTurnedBuddy[=/=]ReformedBully: He's befriended the Bad Kids by the end of the season and become a kinder person. |
| 210 | * DumbJock: Doesn't seem to know what a church is, calling it a "house with no beds and a lot of benches". |
| 211 | * EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Even before his HeelFaceTurn, he deeply loves his mom. |
| 212 | * {{Foil}}: To Gorgug. Both are half-orc barbarians with a DisappearedDad and anger issues. However, Gorgug is sweet, quiet, and tries to control his anger, which shows itself in surprisingly violent outbursts, while Ragh is a bombastic {{Jerkass}}, who's pretty much always angry. |
| 213 | * HeelFaceTurn: Started out as a generic bully, but as he comes to terms with his sexuality and becomes more comfortable with himself, he comes to be an ally of the Bad Kids, and even apologises for his past behaviour. |
| 214 | * HotBlooded: Prone to angry outbursts whenever he thinks someone is insulting him, Dayne or Coach Daybreak. |
| 215 | * RaceFetish: On the receiving end of this. Fathrathriel, an elf he met and slept with in Kei Lumennura, is "really weird about half-orcs". This makes Ragh extremely uncomfortable. |
| 216 | * TookALevelInKindness: Especially apparent in D20 live, where a year of Jawbone's counseling, Kristen helping him figure out his sexuality, and the Bad Kids genuinely supporting him (while also holding him accountable for when he's rude), made him a much more open, kind, and happy person. |
| 217 | * VerbalTic: Injects "dude" in every other sentence. |

| 225 | -->'''Race:''' Pixie |
| 226 | -->'''Class:''' Wizard (School of Illusion) |
| 227 | |
| 228 | Head of Aguefort's AV Club. |
| 229 | ---- |
| 230 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: Biz becomes this for Adaine, who is instantly repulsed by his forward advances and insensitive attitude. [[spoiler: When he says how he would have loved to put her in a palimpsest, The Bad Kids are immediately up to defend Adaine and quickly knock Biz out.]] |
| 231 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: [[spoiler: The wording of what the Modify Memory spell did to him can imply that he wasn't willing to get in the conspiracy before, or that he was willing to be part of the conspiracy from the get-go, but that the spell affected what he remembered about the original mastermind. WordOfGod has confirmed it's the latter.]] |
| 232 | * DoggedNiceGuy: Thinks of himself as this, despite Adaine and everyone else's belief to the contrary. |
| 233 | * EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler: He's part of the Palimpsest conspiracy, in order to profit from the girls trapped in there.]] [[spoiler: Even though he's under the effect of a Modify Memory, this spell can't make someone do something they wouldn't otherwise consider, and he still went along the plan without interference from the spell.]] |
| 234 | * ExplainExplainOhCrap: Under "suggestion" he goes through explaining and demonstrating [[spoiler: how he would get Riz out of the palimpsest, freeing him in the process to his horror.]] |
| 235 | * FallGuy: Was intended to become this when it's revealed that [[spoiler: his evil plan to trap the girls in the palimpsest crystals was a fake memory implanted in his head by Aelwyn Abernant designed to frame him as the mastermind behind the conspiracy. However, WordOfGod is that he was intentionally part of the palimpsest conspiracy, and chose to be under the effect of the Modify Memory spell, to destroy any lead that could lead to failure]]. |
| 236 | * {{Fingore}}: Riz in both fury and intimidation, [[spoiler: shoots off at least two of his fingers when asking what happened to the girls he put in the palimpsest and downloaded. After they realize his memories were fake, Riz apologetically tries to sew his fingers back on.]] |
| 237 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: None of the main characters seem to like him very much ; even Riz, who Biz seems the closest to, barely tolerates him and only keep him around because his technical expertise makes him the only one who can safely handle the palimpsests. |
| 238 | * HateSink: A creepy EntitledBastard who objectifies women, disregards their status as their separate person, disrespects anyone he can get away with, like Gorgug, and [[spoiler: though it was planted in his head by a spell, still went through the plan to kidnap 7 young girls.]] |
| 239 | * NiceGuysFinishLast: Uses this as a justification for [[spoiler: trapping girls in the palimpsests in order to control them]]. [[spoiler: Somewhat [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] in the sense that the memory of that being his plan was fake, but Modify Memory isn't effective if it's used to make someone do something they wouldn't otherwise consider, so it's still a factor]]. |
| 240 | --> '''Biz:''' Guys like us don't really get a chance to be cool, you know what I mean? […] And, you know, it's not fair. Hot guys get all the attention.\ |
| 241 | '''Riz:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe ... Are you giving me a nice guy speech right now?]] |
| 242 | * SincerityMode: Admits that he "fucked up" in allowing [[spoiler: Coach Daybreak to steal the palimpsest]], actually evoking sympathy from the Bad Kids for a little bit. |
| 243 | * TooCleverByHalf: He's tech-smart, but also ''very'' gullible and socially awkward. |

| 255 | A moody and edgy Aguefort student. |
| 256 | ---- |
| 257 | * AmbiguousSituation: Excatly who [[spoiler:murdered Zayn]] is never explicitly stated however it can be inferred that since it was with a greatsword (and Coach Daybreak was found incapable of killing him) it leaves pretty much the only suspect as [[spoiler:Dayne.]] |
| 258 | * CommonalityConnection: [[spoiler:His friendship with Adaine is furthered due to both having parents who were "elven assholes".]] |
| 259 | * ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Mentioned by Sylvester as having no living relatives and was a child of the foster system until he sued for emancipation. |
| 260 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Depicted as a black-haired elf with blue-ish pale skin like that of a dead body. |
| 261 | * {{Goth}}: Zayn dresses in black, has a dour personality and spends most of his time hanging around the Cravencroft Cemetery. |
| 262 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite [[spoiler: being part of the criminal ring that kidnapped young women and trapped them in palimpsests]] he cared deeply for his rat Edgar. The last thing he does [[spoiler: before dying]] is freeing Edgar from his cage to make sure he got away safely. [[spoiler: Subverted when we find out he wasn't a villain by choice.]] |
| 263 | * ForcedIntoEvil: [[spoiler: He was blackmailed into serving the Harvestmen group by Coach Daybreak.]] |
| 264 | * {{Jerkass}}: Not the most pleasant person and was [[spoiler: involved in the palimpsest conspiracy and poisoning Arthur Aguefort]]. |
| 265 | ** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler: Was not part of the Palimpsest conspiracy of his own volition([[ManipulativeBastard Coach Daybreak]] was paying for his apartment), and was dealing with a lot of baggage from his childhood. Once he's free of those (and a ghost, thus already "Peak Goth", meaning he doesn't have to act it anymore), he mellows out a ton and become a genuinely nice dude and a good friend of Adaine's.]] |
| 266 | * OurGhostsAreDifferent: [[spoiler: In "Prompocalypse" Adaine searches for him with the others, and he chooses to remain as a ghost and offers for Adaine to come over to the grave sometimes and just hangout.]] |
| 267 | * TokenGoodTeammate: [[spoiler: Downplayed. He's not the only good member of Kalvaxus' minions or that was manipulated into his service, but he was the only one that was actually forced into it.]] |
| 268 | * TragicVillain: [[spoiler: His horrible home life has led him to sue for emancipation, which left him in precarious living conditions, the perfect hook for Coach Daybreak to use his large wealth to blackmail him into serving him. The happiest we've seen him (and probably that he's ever been) was after his death.]] |

| 282 | |
| 283 | A tiefling biker who runs a gang of dancers/criminals on the outskirts of Elmville. |
| 284 | ---- |
| 285 | * ButtMonkey: Other than the one time Riz rolled a 9 to determine "[[BlatantLies this guy fuckin' rules]]", the majority of his time is getting shit on by the other characters for being irrelevant and [[CantHaveSexEver being contractually obligated not to fuck]]. |
| 286 | * CantHaveSexEver: One of the stipulations in the warlock pact he made with [[spoiler: Gorthalax the Insatiable]] is that he wasn't allowed to get laid. |
| 287 | * DanceBattler: Bizarrely, his gang also moonlights as a dance crew. Outside of his criminal activities, Johnny Spells's weekly schedule was heavily dedicated to dance practice. |
| 288 | * GreaserDelinquents: Dresses and talks like a 1950s greaser, and the head of criminal biker gang. |
| 289 | * HesBack: [[spoiler: He returns in Blast From The Passed as a hellish specter while attacking Bill Seacaster's ship... [[ButtMonkey only to immediately be launched off the ship without getting a chance to attack and spending all his time clambering back onboard.]]]] |
| 290 | * PetTheDog: He commiserates with Riz over being picked on by others when they first meet, as one of the few people at first to actually treat him decently. |
| 291 | * ShoutOut: His gang's proclivity for dancing at other gangs references Theatre/WestSideStory. |
| 292 | * VagueAge: It's never actually specified how old he is, just that he's not in high school and is probably too old to still be dating high school girls |
| 293 | * VerbalTic: Calls people "daddy-o." It's how Fig is able to [[spoiler: impersonate him after they kill him and steal his crystal phone]]. |
| 294 | * VillainForgotToLevelGrind: [[spoiler: Reappears alongside his gang in Season 2's "Blast From the Passed." They were intended to be fought when the party was at level 2, and as a result the gang members are all defeated in a single turn while Johnny gets off a single Fire Bolt before being thrown off the ship.]] |

| 307 | * BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: [[spoiler:Principal Aguefort brainwashes her after the FinalBattle so she'll never be bothered by the illegal things his academy and students do.]] |
| 308 | * HeelFaceBrainwashing: [[spoiler:After a hefty amount of brainwashing she is perfectly happy with the thought of the staff and students of Aguefort Adventuring Academy doing as many illegal things as they want.]] |
| 309 | * HeroAntagonist: She is an agent of the law but is trying to arrest the Bad Kids because of the crimes they've committed. |
| 310 | * HumanPopsicle: Gets frozen in a block of ice during the final episode, although she is thawed out [[spoiler:and brainwashed]] later. |
| 311 | * JerkassHasAPoint: As nasty as she is, she has a valid point about how the local authorities allow acts like car theft and murder to go unpunished because [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality it is academy students doing it]]. |
| 312 | * JurisdictionFriction: Holds Emlville Police Department in a lot of contempt and is constantly angry about their shortcomings. |
| 313 | * LawfulStupid: She wants to make the Bad Kids face justice, however, their crimes are committed in self-defense. However, she makes a point that [[spoiler:a hellish portal doesn't excuse cold blooded murder]]. |
| 314 | * OnlySaneMan: She is shocked and appalled that the town is fine with the Bad Kids killing people just because they're in adventuring school and that's what adventurers do. |
| 315 | * SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: She has some legitimate points about how the Elmville Police Department has turned a blind eye to the crimes committed by Adventuring Academy students, unfortunately she is dead-set on making an example out of the Bad Kids who only took such extreme actions in the attempt to save a number of missing girls and prevent the apocalypse. |

| 341 | * FreeingTheGenie: [[spoiler:Adaine does this for him in the epilogue to the first season, letting him make any wishes he wants. He gives a {{lampshade hanging}} on the idea of voluntarily working with them afterwards, though.]] |
| 342 | * IOweYouMyLife: Averted and lampshaded. After [[spoiler:Adaine frees him of his curse]], he notes that the whole trope of voluntarily following [[spoiler:the people who freed him]], rather than living how he wants is... problematic and stupid. |
| 343 | -->'''Basrar:''' You know, I do understand the trope of you free someone from their servitude and then they're like, wow, now I choose to serve you, but that's kind of bull. [...] No, for sure, like, thank you for my freedom, now I'm going to use that to live the life I want, you know? |
| 344 | * IronicHell: As it turns out, his curse is this, as he genuinely likes making ice cream, but wishes he could be able to do other things, too. |
| 345 | * NiceGuy: He is genuinely very nice, and far happier about it after being able to live as he likes. |
| 346 | * OurGeniesAreDifferent: A genie only capable of granting ice cream-related wishes. |
| 347 | * StepfordSmiler: Seems happy, but the main characters pick up on a deep sadness beneath the façade. Also whenever he moves behind his shop's counter he can be heard sobbing very loudly. [[spoiler:After Adaine frees him of his curse, he is much happier.]] |

| 360 | * BombThrowingAnarchists: Bud and Daisy are staunchly anti-authority with a deep distrust of the police, and (politely) espouse the idea of violent resistance if necessary. |
| 361 | -->'''Siobhan:''' ''(out-of-character)'' I think it's really cool that these nice halflings are, like, anarcho-socialists. |
