| 6 | !!!The Princess |
| 7 | |
| 8 | -->"I wish I could have protected you." |
| 9 | |
| 10 | [[spoiler: Made it to the survivor pool.]] |
| 11 | |
| 12 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Subverted. Sure, she's dating [[spoiler:a self-confessed supervillain]], but only because she knew him first as just a shy, sweet dork. |
| 13 | * AmnesiacLover: Starts out looking like she's this to Hans, since while she doesn't remember being engaged to him, ''neither'' of them remembers that relationship ''ending.'' Later, Anna remembers having at least mutual interest with [[MyGirlBackHome Kristoff]], if not an official relationship, a few weeks after getting together with Billy Harris. She resolves to stay with the latter. |
| 14 | * BreakTheCutie: Her secret resentment being shoved in her face, Hans's own secret, and [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth all the most innocent and pure people being murdered around her]] have started to make her hold grudges, snap at people, and accuse her friends. |
| 15 | * FieryRedhead: Gets dumped and punches the guy in the face before tossing her drink at him. |
| 16 | * GirlishPigtails: Highlighting her innocent, happy personality. |
| 17 | * TheHeart: Seymour identifies her as this, keeping the group together and grounded. |
| 18 | * HerBoyfriendsJacket: Billy Harris puts his hoodie around her to comfort her [[spoiler:after she's shell-shocked by finding Javert's corpse]]. She wears it to the trial, and has worn it pretty much every day since unless she's baking or messing around with paint. |
| 19 | * NaiveEverygirl: Especially the awkward and sheltered parts, due to growing up isolated from the world and alienated from her own family. |
| 20 | * PrincessClassic: It's her title, after all, and she's the truest to it of the three princesses. |
| 21 | * TrademarkFavouriteFood: Simple sandwiches, even if she's a princess. |
| 22 | * ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: When she goes to rescue Billy from the crew. |
| 23 | * WomanScorned: Ever since getting dumped, not to mention learning of all the ''other'' stuff he pulled, Anna has set out to ruin Hans's reputation. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | !![[Film/{{Chicago}} Billy Flynn]] |
| 26 | !!!The Silver-Tongued Prince of the Courtroom |
| 27 | |
| 28 | -->"Unlike everyone else here, I'm not terrible with contracts." |
| 29 | |
| 30 | [[spoiler: Made it to the survivor pool.]] |
| 31 | |
| 32 | * AmoralAttorney: Not only is he this, but he says that's how any lawyer is supposed to be. |
| 33 | * [[invoked]] BileFascination: The reason he starts reading trashy romance novels. |
| 34 | * TheCynic: Billy makes it clear very early on that he doesn't think highly of people as a whole. |
| 35 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Said almost verbatim relating to his stance on [[spoiler:the "dramatic license" taken to portray Gabe as a LaughingMad schemer in "The Ballad of the Dead."]] |
| 36 | * GoodIsNotNice: He believes that being unrelenting and, frankly, inconsiderate in trials is the only way to survive. [[JerkassHasAPoint He may be right.]] |
| 37 | * HyperAwareness: A learned behaviour of his, and one he's proud of. |
| 38 | -->"It's all about reading people, my friend -- something I've made sure to be good at. My career depends on it." |
| 39 | * MaliciousMisnaming: Engages in a lighter version of this; he simply doesn't seem to ''care'' that it's "D-ne" and not "Donna." |
| 40 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: His job. He even notes that he feels strange not being paid for the trials, and he takes a regain (money addressed to him) as payment. |
| 41 | * PragmaticVillainy: A practical man, described as "objectively terrible" in the pamphlet and not exactly disputing it, who puts away feelings to the extent that his worst reaction to a body so far has been "well, this day is annoying me." |
| 42 | * RulesLawyer: He's a literal lawyer. What did you expect? [[spoiler:In the second case, he concludes that "intent follows the bullet," he reminds everyone that any theories about interference -- whether incorrect like Case 2 or correct like Case 3 -- still mean that they're executing the culprit, and in Case 5, he does the contradiction-finding filibuster.]] |
| 43 | * SharpDressedMan: Billy only ever wears nice suits. He didn't even dress up for Halloween. |
| 44 | * SmartPeoplePlayChess: He was very happy to find the games room. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | !![[WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog Billy Harris]] |
| 47 | !!!The Doctor |
| 48 | |
| 49 | -->"I made the choice to use my evil genius skills to help us, but I'm never going to be the person I was before." |
| 50 | |
| 51 | [[spoiler: Made it to the survivor pool.]] |
| 52 | |
| 53 | * BadLiar: Natalie calls him the worst she's ever met, and that says something. |
| 54 | * CannotTalkToWomen: At first. Being in a situation where he ''has'' to gives him the positive CharacterDevelopment he needs. Unlike in canon, where he treated his crush like an unapproachable trophy and it led to JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, here Billy is pushed to actually approach the girl he likes and ends up treating her like a normal person, leading to his redemption. |
| 55 | * TheDanza: Called "Billy Harris" after his actor for lack of a canon surname and to differentiate him from Billy Flynn. |
| 56 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: And the third culprit crossed almost all of them. |
| 57 | * GadgeteerGenius: Regularly cobbles inventions together from workshop supplies. |
| 58 | * GrewASpine: Has gained immense amounts of confidence over the course of the game, stating multiple times (in both inner narration and aloud) that it's because he's met people who actually believe in him. |
| 59 | * InsecureLoveInterest: To Anna. |
| 60 | * ItsAllMyFault: |
| 61 | ** Blames himself for [[spoiler:being part of Hook's incentive to kill, even knowing that it was stupid and not his fault.]] He later does the same for [[spoiler:being the Management's incentive to kill Natalie -- though that was a lie -- and later, having said lie not work out and the Balladeer die anyway.]] |
| 62 | ** He also blames himself for [[spoiler:Penny's death back home]], though when he finally confesses the truth, [[spoiler:that back in LA he was a disillusioned supervillain whose blind ambition caused the death of one of his only friends,]] his new companions give him perspective that the press didn't back home, and tell him that it was an ''accident.'' |
| 63 | * LoveRedeems: Gave up his Dr. Horrible persona in Week 6 because he wants to move on and become somebody Anna can be proud of. |
| 64 | * MadeOfIron: He describes this as his superpower. |
| 65 | * MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: A "villain" who isn't really all that evil, just surrounded by terrible heroes. |
| 66 | * NothingButSkinAndBones: At least according to Anna, who says he should eat a sandwich. |
| 67 | * NotThatKindOfDoctor: He has to explain this about his title. |
| 68 | * ScienceHero: Uses his knowledge of chemistry and physics to investigate the setting and solve cases. |
| 69 | * SelfServingMemory: Because of the order in which he regained his memories, he spent several weeks thinking [[spoiler:he killed his nemesis back home, Captain Hammer]]. When he remembered the truth about what happened, [[HeroicBSOD he didn't take it well]]. |
| 70 | * StutterStop: Not completely, but as he's gained confidence over the course of his time in the Opera House most of his nervous tics have faded. Compare week one's ShrinkingViolet with the HeroicResolve he shows in week seven. |
| 71 | * WrestlerInAllOfUs: Billy tackles [[spoiler:a member of the stage crew]] and puts them in an arm bar, [[MegaManning having learned it from bullies who used it on him in the past]]. |
| 72 | * YouRemindMeOfX: Hates Hook in large part because he reminds him of his ArchEnemy from home. As a former ChildProdigy, Billy sees himself in Natalie, too. It's also hinted [[spoiler:and then outright stated by Billy himself in the final log]] that [[spoiler:Hans' reaction to the Balladeer's death]] reminded him uncomfortably of [[spoiler:his own reaction to Penny's death, back home]]. |
| 73 | |
| 74 | !![[Theatre/PeterPan1954 Captain Hook]] |
| 75 | !!!The Sleaziest Sleaze of the Seven Seas |
| 76 | |
| 77 | -->"Hook can't be forced into promises! That would be bad form!" |
| 78 | |
| 79 | [[spoiler:The culprit of Week 4 (Case 3).]] |
| 80 | |
| 81 | * AmnesiacsAreInnocent: [[spoiler:Post-rapid aging, he's childlike and pitiable, with Valjean acting as his caretaker of sorts in deadland]]. |
| 82 | * ChildHater: The man has something against children. |
| 83 | * CloudCuckooLander: [[spoiler:After his execution and rapid aging, he becomes a HarmlessVillain with several wacky ideas about how to get the living cast's attention, including pushing the Opera House somewhere else]]. |
| 84 | * CompositeCharacter: He has traits from several incarnations of Captain Hook, including the Disney version, the original play, and ''Hook'' as well as various versions of the stage musical. |
| 85 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:Um, Hook, you know that killing and getting away with it means killing ''everyone,'' right? Even when you're trying to get the money just to pay off one of your fellow cast members?]] |
| 86 | * DirtyCoward: Accused of this by the Balladeer, who points out that Hook's ArchEnemy is a child rather than someone his own size. |
| 87 | * DressedToPlunder: Hook hits almost every item on the list. |
| 88 | * ExactWords: [[spoiler: "Hook didn't harm a single hair on their heads!"... Said before he pulls the single strands of Darla and Eliza's hair he plucked before killing them from his pocket.]] |
| 89 | * FantasticRacism: ''Also'' has something against fairies. |
| 90 | * GeniusDitz: Well-educated (to Seymour's horror) but dumb enough to insist for weeks on end that Billy Harris and the Balladeer are the same person, despite having seen them in the same room ''many times''. |
| 91 | * HatedByAll: No one likes him because he's terrible to everyone. To the point where ''The Balladeer'' -- who is known to generally dislike culprits, but be perfectly likeable to everyone else -- takes an especially acerbic stance with Hook [[spoiler:even before his being the culprit is revealed during the third trial, where he's usually an impartial party]]. |
| 92 | --> '''Hook''': I am awaiting my rum, Billy. |
| 93 | --> '''Balladeer''': ''You'll be [[DeadlyEuphemism waiting a while]].'' |
| 94 | --> '''Hook''': [[ComicallyMissingthePoint I hope it'll be quality then, Harris.]] |
| 95 | * HookHand: You think? |
| 96 | * {{Jerkass}}: He's never been nice to anyone. |
| 97 | * PetTheDog: Even he compliments Hime's cake and calls her baking skills exemplary...albeit after eating said cake after she died. |
| 98 | * RealMenWearPink: Wears blue eyeliner because "Hook has to look his best." |
| 99 | * ScatterbrainedSenior: [[spoiler:When his execution starts RapidAging him, he becomes confused and forgetful before fading into dust. This references Christopher Walken in ''[[Theatre/PeterPan1954 Peter Pan Live!]]'', a miscast Hook who would ramble, pause too often, and forget his lines.]] |
| 100 | * ThirdPersonPerson: Occasionally calls himself "Hook" instead of using "I." |
| 101 | * TheUnapologetic: He refuses to believe that there's anything particularly wrong with being a huge jerk to everyone he meets. |
| 102 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: The Balladeer taunts him with "Tick-tock..." when Hook gets on his nerves. |
| 103 | |
| 104 | !![[Franchise/ShuuenNoShioriProject D-ne]] |
| 105 | !!!The Lonely |
| 106 | |
| 107 | -->"I can never be a desirable girl." |
| 108 | |
| 109 | [[spoiler: The culprit of Week 2 (Case 1).]] |
| 110 | |
| 111 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Went through something like this at home and warns others of the danger of people who are desperate enough to try it. [[spoiler:Including herself, as she truly feels that she has no other option but to go for the wish again.]] |
| 112 | * DrinkBasedCharacterization: D-ne prefers sweet, flowery osmanthus tea, befitting the fixation on a sweet, pretty ''person'' that takes over her life. |
| 113 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Puts people off at home for being kind of creepy, apparently. [[HairColorDissonance Her hair's more of a purple, but...]] |
| 114 | * FriendlessBackground: One that led her to hate her true self. |
| 115 | * LonersAreFreaks: Appears to have gotten this treatment at home. |
| 116 | * LossOfIdentity: Done ''deliberately''. |
| 117 | -->'''Balladeer:''' Can you remember/Who you are?/Do you even know?/[[WhatYouAreInTheDark When you’re alone...]] |
| 118 | -->'''D-ne:''' I'll [[LoveMartyr become what she'd like]]/That means she will want me/Right!?/Nobodies have to go/That is how the world works, you know! |
| 119 | * OnlyOneName: It may not be her real one, either. |
| 120 | * StepfordSmiler: D-ne has no self-worth and projects false smiles over her insecurities. Occasionally, it takes the form of an OhCrapSmile instead. |
| 121 | * WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Named after the conventional labels to obscure young offenders' identities in the news. |
| 122 | * {{Yandere}}: Described as such [[spoiler:when it turns out that she knew all along that she was dooming everyone else to die, and that her love was unrequited after all]]. |
| 123 | |
| 124 | !![[WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance Darla Dimple]] |
| 125 | !!!The Starlet |
| 126 | |
| 127 | -->"I figure that if I can make whoever has to clean up after us wash all of 'em, it's worth havin' to get more clothes all the time, even if I don't like how it looks." |
| 128 | |
| 129 | [[spoiler: One of the victims of Week 4 (Case 3).]] |
| 130 | |
| 131 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Darla's public image is overly sweet, but as we learned in canon, she can and will stain her hands to get what she wants. |
| 132 | * CuteIsEvil: Because she uses cuteness to obscure being evil. |
| 133 | * DeliberatelyCuteChild: She plays off her public persona [[spoiler:until she has to admit her secret at the second trial]]. |
| 134 | * EnfantTerrible: Her true self. |
| 135 | * FantasticRacism: Her secret in the second motive, since it clashes with her image. |
| 136 | * KidsAreCruel: If she even is one. |
| 137 | * OlderThanTheyLook: It's subtly implied in canon that Darla's [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour smoking]] is meant to stunt her growth and she's actually not as young as she looks. The OOC intro log mentions this as how she got in despite appearing ''far'' under 16 (Hime, at 14 or 15 at the oldest, got a garden-variety trauma exemption). |
| 138 | * RegalRinglets: Darla's default hairstyle. |
| 139 | * SweetTooth: Darla will gorge herself on candy at any opportunity, especially when she doesn't have to make it herself. [[spoiler:Hook noticed this, too...]] |
| 140 | |
| 141 | !![[Theatre/{{Hamilton}} Eliza Hamilton]] |
| 142 | !!!The Helpless |
| 143 | |
| 144 | -->"Sometimes it's better to ask forgiveness than permission." |
| 145 | |
| 146 | [[spoiler: One of the victims of Week 4 (Case 3).]] |
| 147 | |
| 148 | * AllLovingHero: Cares about everyone, even the culprits, despite Natalie's misgivings. This does ''not'' mean she'll let you do whatever you want if it hurts someone else, though. |
| 149 | * [[CantHoldHisLiquor Can't Hold Her Liquor]]: Eliza got tipsy after one or two glasses of bubbly. |
| 150 | * FeminineWomenCanCook: Or at least bake pies well. |
| 151 | * GorgeousPeriodDress: Her whole wardrobe is contemporary to her colonial clothes from home. |
| 152 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: When she's drunk. |
| 153 | * PajamaCladHero: Showed up in her nightgown. |
| 154 | * ProperLady: Definitely compared to most of the cast. |
| 155 | * SilkHidingSteel: Kind and refined, but you don't mess with the vulnerable around her. |
| 156 | * TeamMom |
| 157 | |
| 158 | !![[Theatre/NextToNormal Gabriel Goodman]] |
| 159 | !!!The Superboy |
| 160 | |
| 161 | -->"Guess we just have to go with the flow, yeah?" |
| 162 | |
| 163 | [[spoiler: A victim and the culprit of Week 3 (Case 2).]] |
| 164 | |
| 165 | * TheAce: His very ironic title. |
| 166 | * BondVillainStupidity: [[spoiler: He probably wouldn't have been killed by the trap he set up to murder Hime if he hadn't stopped to gloat to himself over it.]] |
| 167 | * ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: His theory about [[spoiler:how he exists, given that he's a hallucination that came to life.]] |
| 168 | * RebelliousSpirit: In the intro log, he presents himself as a tame teenage rebel, but he starts to act out more [[spoiler:with his newfound realness. The biggest reason he had for killing Hime was "just because he could get away with it"]]. |
| 169 | * {{Tulpa}}: [[spoiler:Gabe was just a hallucination of his mother's in canon, and he believes that her conviction is what brought him to life in the Opera House.]] |
| 170 | |
| 171 | !![[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Hans of the Southern Isles]] |
| 172 | !!!The Mirror |
| 173 | |
| 174 | -->"I didn't believe in love anyway, so what was the point?" |
| 175 | |
| 176 | [[spoiler: Made it to the survivor pool.]] |
| 177 | |
| 178 | * TheAlcoholic: Hans goes to drink away his problems at the bar a ''lot'', and he even [[spoiler:chooses to be on the fourth floor during the locked-away motive, despite knowing for sure that it's coming,]] because he'd rather drink than eat and sleep. [[spoiler:Most likely out of guilt for being TheMole.]] The others start to notice and worry. |
| 179 | * BloodSplatteredInnocents: Hans wears the blood of [[spoiler:his crush the Balladeer]] very well at the fifth afterparty. [[spoiler:Made more ironic by the [[WhoShotJFK now-common]] [[GunmanWithThreeNames double-casting]] of [[Theatre/{{Assassins}} the Balladeer]] that rose in popularity starting with Creator/NeilPatrickHarris' performance in the 2004 revival.]] |
| 180 | * BrutalHonesty: After he has to stop pretending, he does this a lot. |
| 181 | * DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:Even as everyone's refusing to vote in Case 5 and he says he refuses as well, he "accidentally" votes for Natalie anyway out of self-preservation.]] |
| 182 | * EvilRedhead: Practically ItWasHisSled by now with how this applies to canon, and it's treated as such by the narration. [[spoiler:He does become TheMole, but starts to redeem himself, and he becomes more of an example of GoodIsNotNice instead by the time he makes survivor pool.]] |
| 183 | * FreudianExcuse: As per the ExpandedUniverse, Hans's family isn't just impeding his desire for power, they're emotionally abusive to the point that he fears failure mostly because of the ridicule that will follow. |
| 184 | * {{Gayngst}}: A bracket text conversation between Raoul and Anna posits that this may be part of Hans's issues, as he does come from a repressive culture, had an emotionally abusive family, and the only times he's ever hit on women were to gain political power. [[spoiler:When he finally admits he's in love with the Balladeer, he completes his HeelFaceTurn, so there may be something to that.]] |
| 185 | * HighClassGloves: He wears them constantly (and hoards them). They help with his image. |
| 186 | * [[HerBoyfriendsJacket His Boyfriend's Jacket]]: Received [[spoiler:the Balladeer's jacket]] out of the merchandise booth [[spoiler:the week after Bal's HeroicSacrifice]]. |
| 187 | * LadykillerInLove: As much as he hates to admit it, while he's only ever tried to marry for money and power before, this time he's actually falling for the Balladeer. |
| 188 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Gave the Balladeer the idea to hand out incentives. He claims that it was unintentional, but whether or not he's telling the truth has yet to be seen. |
| 189 | * PrinceCharmless: [[LateArrivalSpoiler Still self-serving and ruthless]] behind his kind acts, but TheReveal happens much sooner than in canon. He then starts presenting himself as TheAtoner. Anna doesn't buy it. |
| 190 | * PrincessInRags: Once his reputation shatters and he starts to remember his failure in canon, Hans still does his best to preserve his image, even if it's a lost cause. |
| 191 | * TheSocialExpert: The true meaning of his title is that he's a social chameleon who studies people and does whatever he can to get close to them. |
| 192 | * StalkerWithACrush: He initially looks like this, since Anna doesn't remember being engaged to him. |
| 193 | * TokenEvilTeammate: For the Cast [[spoiler:and survivor pool]]. |
| 194 | * WouldntHurtAChild: While most everyone else is fair game, Hans is horrified [[spoiler:when Hime is found dead because she was young.]] |
| 195 | |
| 196 | !![[Theatre/{{Heathers}} Heather McNamara]] |
| 197 | !!!The Best Friend |
| 198 | |
| 199 | -->"I still have a lot to learn about being a better person, but that's, like, totally okay." |
| 200 | |
| 201 | [[spoiler: Made it to the survivor pool.]] |
| 202 | |
| 203 | * TheBeautifulElite: Says in the intro log that her father is extremely rich, and she's very attached to fashion and makeup. |
| 204 | * BookDumb: She tried to learn something, but declared that reading was boring. |
| 205 | * CondescendingCompassion: Has a bit of this, like in "Popular," but it's been fading. |
| 206 | * DumbBlonde: At least BookDumb, anyway. |
| 207 | * DyingAlone: Her greatest fear, which she confesses during the TruthTellingSession. |
| 208 | * EveryoneLovesBlondes: She puts a lot of effort into her appearance and is considered this back home. |
| 209 | * HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Heather's initial canon point was after a WildTeenParty, and she's very excited when the bar unlocks. |
| 210 | * ItsAllMyFault: Guilt hits her hard after [[spoiler:Astarte's death]] for all the mean things she's done. |
| 211 | * PopularityFoodChain: She knows every facet of this and is vigilant about not doing anything that would make her look bad... like hanging around the rest of these weirdos. After a few weeks, though, Heather starts to give up and decides that her rep is already ruined. |
| 212 | * RichBitch: Being accustomed to high school politics, she's selfish and spoiled more often than not. |
| 213 | * SourSupporter: Heather loses any hope of escape fast and considers it pointless, but still does what she can for the others. |
| 214 | * SpeakingLikeTotallyTeen: To the extent of LikeIsLikeAComma sometimes. |
| 215 | * ValleyGirl: A high school GirlPosse member from TheEighties. |
| 216 | |
| 217 | !![[Anime/PrettyCureAllStars Hime Shirayuki]] |
| 218 | !!!The Shrinking Violet |
| 219 | |
| 220 | -->"I'm no good at this. Not like Megumi. I wanna go home." |
| 221 | |
| 222 | [[spoiler: One of the victims of Week 3 (Case 2).]] |
| 223 | |
| 224 | * ActionFashionista: Princess, fashion plate, nervous wreck, and oh yeah, MagicalGirlWarrior. |
| 225 | * BroughtDownToNormal: Her [=PreCards=] and [=PreChanMirror=] missing, Hime is no better than a normal girl. |
| 226 | * GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Her most prized possession from the Merchandise Booth, aside from her dead friends' regains? A stuffed chicken from home that's bigger than she is. [[spoiler:She has it back less than a day before she dies.]] |
| 227 | * NervousWreck: Afraid of approaching people and keeps worrying about screwing up and getting lectured. |
| 228 | * OverlyLongName: Her real name is "Himelda Window Cure Queen of the Blue Sky." She goes by "Shirayuki Hime" because it's shorter and she liked [[Literature/SnowWhite the fairy tale]]. |
| 229 | * PalsWithJesus: The God of Earth was her legal guardian for a year. |
| 230 | * ShipperOnDeck: Hime gets really excited about the prospect of people being in love, but definitely not love triangles, which she says are more trouble than they're worth. |
| 231 | * ShrinkingViolet: She might have [[Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure improved]], but she's still shaky and nervous enough to warrant the title. |
| 232 | * ShyBlueHairedGirl: Though she opens up a lot when she gets used to you. |
| 233 | * TrueBlueFemininity: Associated with light blue. |
| 234 | |

| 236 | !!!The Law |
| 237 | |
| 238 | -->"It is a precaution and justice must be served." |
| 239 | |
| 240 | [[spoiler: The victim of Week 5 (Case 4).]] |
| 241 | |
| 242 | * TheComicallySerious: The Law is above all this foolishness. The Law does not have fun. [[DeliciousDistraction The Law will have cake on occasion, though]]. |
| 243 | * ForgetsToEat: It's a bad habit, and one he's too proud to admit to. |
| 244 | * GoalInLife: To protect the peace and follow the law. This causes him some [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife internal conflict]] during the peace week. |
| 245 | * HopeBringer: Even [[TokenEvilTeammate Hans]] says he's their best hope of escape. [[spoiler:This may have been a reason why Cain targeted him soon after.]] |
| 246 | * InspectorJavert: Well, he is the TropeNamer. Javert pursues culprits ruthlessly, but he does end up learning to understand Valjean, whom he'd been chasing since before they arrived, despite himself. |
| 247 | * LastNameBasis: Even the Showrunner doesn't seem to know his first name, much less use it. |
| 248 | * MyGreatestFailure: Javert was charged with [[spoiler:first making sure Valjean lived so he could arrest him, then protecting Eliza]]. He failed at both and fell into despair. |
| 249 | |

| 254 | |
| 255 | [[spoiler: The victim of Week 2 (Case 1).]] |
| 256 | |
| 257 | * CloudcuckoolandersMinder: After [[spoiler:Hook dies and is still senile in the afterlife, Valjean becomes something of a caretaker for him, distracting him when he interferes and giving him company.]] |
| 258 | * CoolOldGuy: Shocks his castmates whenever he demonstrates his incredible strength. |
| 259 | * GoodAllAlong: While Javert initially warns everyone that he's dangerous, Valjean is harmless and cares for everyone. |
| 260 | * MessianicArchetype: Is one in canon, and is specifically referred to this way by several other characters in-game. |
| 261 | * RepetitiveName: Jean Valjean. |
| 262 | * StrongerThanTheyLook: He's old and easily underestimated, but can move heavy furniture without a problem. Hans is completely shocked. |
| 263 | * SuicidalPacifism: While not intentional, [[spoiler: Valjean's refusal to fight D-ne after her initial attack is what gave her the opportunity to actually kill him.]] |
| 264 | * TechnologicallyBlindElders: Subverted; despite being both an old man and a FishOutOfTemporalWater, he ends up learning the ropes of the microwave easily enough. |
| 265 | * WouldntHurtAChild: Valjean is strongly against hurting anybody, but [[spoiler:this in particular comes back to bite him.]] |

| 275 | * AnswersToTheNameOfGod: After getting one too many shocked reactions to her appearance, Jezebel starts to respond with, "No, I live with the other guy." |
| 276 | * {{Fangirl}}: She gets excited over a Saints jacket and reads teen romances a lot. |
| 277 | * InLoveWithLove: She dreams about romance on her own terms, as much as her dad hated the idea. |
| 278 | * MostWritersAreWriters: Jezebel starts writing her own play. |
| 279 | * PurpleIsPowerful: A princess who regularly wears purple dresses; one of her regains is also a purple jacket. |

| 290 | * DeadpanSnarker: Natalie's got a comment and eye-roll for everything. |
| 291 | * DefrostingIceQueen: Complete with recognizing that she's starting to thaw and trying her best to resist it. [[spoiler:When she embraces it and thaws all the way, she ends up dying.]] |
| 292 | * GenreSavvy: Not overly, but she does say she's "stuck in a weird murder soap opera musical," her cynical nature tells her that death and lots of it is a ForegoneConclusion, and she notices the pattern of Motive Tuesday and Murder Friday. |
| 293 | * GuiltyPleasures: Admits reluctantly that she enjoyed ''Film/HighSchoolMusical.'' |
| 294 | * {{Hypocrite}}: She tells Anna that she doesn't have to hide her emotions when things go wrong, but refuses to ever admit that she's not okay herself. |
| 295 | * JadeColoredGlasses: Lacking in the hope department and knowing there's death to come, Natalie thinks of the worst and is suspicious even when she does make friends despite herself. |
| 296 | * KnightInSourArmour: She's cynical and unhappy with life, but still takes charge to foil the second motive and set up patrols. |
| 297 | * MediumAwareness: Only sort of. She seems to know she's in [[TheMusical a musical]], but gives no indication of knowing that she's in a JournalRoleplay. |
| 298 | * MetaGuy: Natalie is prone to questioning the game and pointing out murdergame conventions. |
| 299 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: She drops her sarcasm when [[spoiler:she finally decides that Gabe might not be a hallucination, only for him to turn up dead]]. |
| 300 | * SirSwearsALot: In comparison to the mostly polite remainder of the cast, barring her brother and Heather. |

| 312 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: With [[MyGirlBackHome Christine]], though he's slowly realizing it through memory regains. |
| 313 | * CordonBleughChef: When Raoul does start learning how to cook more than burned disasters, it's with mid-century concoctions like savoury jelly salads and cream cheese egg salad loaves. |
| 314 | * FearlessFool: Thought of as this by more genre-savvy characters. |
| 315 | * FirstNameBasis: Starts to refer to his friends by their first names as the first few weeks go on. Even the Princess Club all gets "Miss (first name)." |
| 316 | * HopelessWithTech: Well, he is a FishOutOfTemporalWater... |
| 317 | * KnightInShiningArmor: Considers himself this to the ladies in the opera house, and does his best to comfort those who are in distress. |
| 318 | * LethalChef: Never having cooked for himself before, he's this to start out with; his first attempts at cooking are all ugly and burned. |
| 319 | * LiteralMinded: Assumes that the "Angel of Music" is a literal one and starts reading up on angelology... and every other unrelated book with "angel" in the title. |
| 320 | * ProperlyParanoid: He may be going overboard with hiding even the prop weapons, but with the weird ways people have come up to kill someone, it may be justified. |
| 321 | * SharpDressedMan: Takes his appearance very seriously, and is not thrilled with the costume clothing options offered, but finds a way to make it work. |
| 322 | * ShelteredAristocrat: Somewhat subverted, as he starts off wanting to know where the servants are for him and the other characters, but slowly realizes that he's relatively helpless on his own and decides to suck it up and do his own chores.

| 333 | * CloseToHome: He has a crisis when [[spoiler:he encounters an unsympathetic and cruel killer in the third case, then wakes up remembering himself killing someone who was just as bad.]] |
| 334 | * CorruptTheCutie: His character arc in canon. He starts going through something similar in-game, though tempered by the knowledge of [[DownerEnding how it ended up for him]] the first time and the fact that a lot more people in the Opera House are nice to him. |
| 335 | * GrewASpine: His character arc in-game, instead. Even the mastermind comments on it. |
| 336 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: Seymour's self-esteem is in the sub-sub-basement. He does a SpitTake when Natalie so much as calls him smart. |
| 337 | * NerdGlasses: Huge sixties ones. |
| 338 | * ObliviousToLove: Seymour has ''no idea'' how Winslow feels about him. [[spoiler:It takes Winslow actually spelling out his feelings towards Seymour for him to figure out he's in love with him.]] |

| 351 | * BiblicalMotifs: Astarte has a ''lot'' of them going on with her. Doubles as {{Foreshadowing}}, and includes: |
| 352 | ** "Stabby's" reaction to Jezebel in the ''very first week''. |
| 353 | ** [[spoiler: Cain]] singing [[BilingualBonus Hebrew]] during certain motives. |
| 354 | ** Having [[spoiler:Cain]] ''outright'' quote Literature/TheBible (Quoting [[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job%201:20-22&version=CEV Job 1:20]] during the Week 4 motive, for example) |
| 355 | *** Even Astarte's secret motive was just a Bible verse [[spoiler:aimed at Cain]]! |
| 356 | ** One of the clues in [[spoiler: Case 4]] was a partly drunk bottle of red wine. How does this tie in? While its not revealed in the investigation itself, [[WordOfGod Astarte's player]] has specifically cited said wine as being [[spoiler: [[http://www.royalwine.com/images/products/Tabor-Har-Cab-Sauv-12-NoV-web.jpg a kosher wine made in Israel]]]]. |
| 357 | * BiblicalBadGuy: [[spoiler:Her SuperpoweredEvilSide is Cain possessing her.]] |
| 358 | * BizarreTasteInFood: Becomes a RunningGag. Whenever she eats something new, not good, or [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Raoul's quiche]]: |
| 359 | --> "''*crunch*'' Mm." |
| 360 | * CainAndAbel: Her secret motive talked about having killed her brother, which confused her as she doesn't have a brother. [[spoiler:Turns out she's possessed by the actual Cain.]] |
| 361 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Due to her upbringing in her more formative years. She dresses like she's never seen clothes before, thought the plastic Halloween decorations were alive, and often has no idea how to deal with social situations. She also believed [[EskimosArentReal turkeys didn't exist]]. |
| 362 | * ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Only her SuperpoweredEvilSide is, though. |
| 363 | * DreadfulMusician: She tried and failed at every instrument. |
| 364 | * EvilLaugh: Her SuperpoweredEvilSide has one. |
| 365 | * FantasyKitchenSink: Even compared to others from outlandish worlds, the part of her canon she comes from is very convoluted and sounds downright ''insane'' to everyone else when she tries to explain it as a result. |
| 366 | * FriendToBugs: Plastic ones, like [[ShoutOut "Pete the Spider"]], but she mistakes them for living bug monsters, so... |
| 367 | * HeroicResolve: Astarte finds hers when [[spoiler:she's had some time to get used to remembering her HeelFaceTurn and the other resident MagicalGirlWarrior dies]]. |
| 368 | * HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Seems to be her way of thinking, at least at first. Her [[InTheNameOfTheMoon you're punished]] speech to [[spoiler:Hook]] highlights her character development in the game on this point. |
| 369 | * InSeriesNickname: Astarte's evil personality has a few: Heather uses "Mega Bitch," [[spoiler:which continues even after we realize that "she" is a "he,"]] and D-ne refers to this personality exclusively as "Impostor-san" [[spoiler:before she's executed]]. |
| 370 | * InspectorLestrade: While she does get the hang of investigating eventually, and her efforts do help with nailing the culprits of Cases 2 and 3, she still tends to conclude incorrectly on certain aspects of the case during trials, such as with the motive and the actual method of murder. |
| 371 | %%* LeeroyJenkins: Almost was this [[spoiler: in the final trial]]. Despite [[spoiler: being dead]]. |
| 372 | * LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: Will often greet a murder or motive with singing about how many people will scream and cry and how much misfortune will follow. Astarte herself is ''not'' like this, though she's been raised to be. |
| 373 | * MissingMom: [[spoiler:She admitted to Natalie during the Week 3 motive that her real mother is not the woman she calls Mother nowadays...and subsequent internal monologue reveals her mother is very likely KilledOffForReal.]] |
| 374 | * MissingTime: The usual personality doesn't remember what the evil one does. [[spoiler:This becomes vital in solving Case 4.]] |
| 375 | * OurAngelsAreDifferent: At least according to her, and applies to nearly every monster type. [[spoiler:While there is apparently a grain of truth to the stories she's told people about her world, it's implied that there's more to it than even she is aware of.]] |
| 376 | * ThePowerOfTrust: An important part of her character growth, not in the least of which because [[spoiler:it's what seems to weaken the other personality's hold in her as time goes by. Partly subverted when it's learned that the memory restored in Week 5 ended up affecting Cain ''much more'' than it did Astarte.]] |
| 377 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Described as having red eyes. Her internal monologue reveals that she was raised to be a goddess of evil. |
| 378 | * SuperpoweredEvilSide: Has a SplitPersonality of this sort. [[spoiler:Which also doubles as DemonicPossession.]] |
| 379 | * TerribleArtist: She can't draw, sew, carve a pumpkin, or frost a cake to save her life. |
| 380 | * TomatoInTheMirror: You know what's not fun? [[spoiler:Going into a trial to find the culprit who killed a good man and slowly realizing the culprit was ''your other half''.]] |
| 381 | * TransformationTrinket: Astarte's is one of her regains. Its power seems to be [[BreakTheGameBreaker blocked for obvious reasons]], though. |
| 382 | * WrongGenreSavvy: Her frame of reference for trying to figure things out is her understanding of her world, but while she's at least figured out that time travel is involved, it's not likely a sailor soldier matter. |

| 396 | * ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Quite literally. He's not good at being a pirate. |
| 397 | * ThePollyanna: Okay, so he's a grown adult. Still, the Pirate King displays optimism and faith in people to an extent that most of the others find unrealistic. |
| 398 | * SignificantMonogram: Should any culprit win, "[[TotalPartyKill TPK]]" is what awaits the rest of the cast. This was joked about [=OOCly=] early in the game. |

| 411 | * CloseToHome: Seeing so many things reminding him of his home situation starts to make him paranoid. |
| 412 | * DealWithTheDevil: Writes music about the concept and thinks about it a lot... only to realize that he made one himself. |
| 413 | * DumbStruck: In backstory, and continuing for most of the game until he gets his voice box from the Merchandise Booth later on. |
| 414 | * HandicappedBadass: Winslow is half blind and needs an electronic voice box that he spends most of the game without, and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants and protect the people he cares about. [[spoiler:He also becomes the first disabled character, aside from the PTSD developed by the average murdergame character, to survive a round, and he's not magically cured at the end, either!]] |

| 417 | * ItsPopularNowItSucks: [[invoked]] He hates mainstream music to the point of being called a {{hipster}} despite being from TheSeventies. To Winslow, popular appeal is immediately specifically targeting the LowestCommonDenominator and no one else. |
| 418 | * TheParanoiac: Winslow sees [[ArchEnemy Swan]] everywhere to an obsessive degree. |
| 419 | * PlagueDoctor: What his mask looks like. |
| 420 | * RedRightHand: A horribly mangled face (which he covers with either a mask or facial putty and makeup) and only one eye. |
| 421 | * {{Revenge}}: His intense, obsessive motivation for almost everything he ever does. |
| 422 | * ScaryTeeth: Metal teeth, part of the mutilation he underwent at his ArchEnemy's hands. |
| 423 | * SilentSnarker: He can't speak, but communicates his disgust with eye-rolling and writing. |

However, he completes a full turn, again of the "Help" variety, when he's revived and the Cast shows him proof that the Leading Player was using him from the beginning.]] |

| 518 | * BroughtDownToNormal: Round 3 has her stripped of her narrative-controlling powers and sent to the world of the dead as the deadland tour guide, and while she's still aware of genre conventions she can't act on them. |
| 519 | * ClosetKey: [[spoiler:Anna finds her uncomfortably attractive.]] |
| 520 | * EnemyMine: [[spoiler:In Round 3, she joins with the dead cast members, past and present, to stop the Wizard's plan]]. |
| 521 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: She understands that characters and their players will fight long and hard for happy endings, but doesn't seem to understand ''why,'' thinking that a GoldenEnding is passé and a BittersweetEnding or DownerEnding will make the fanbase rave. Despite, y'know, ''being'' a character and seeing the Cast as actual people she's putting through the murder grinder. |
| 522 | * EvilFormerFriend: Is this towards the Balladeer, though she was secretly evil the entire time. |
| 523 | * FauxAffablyEvil: She's more this to the characters, caring more about the show than anything. |
| 524 | * FourthWallObserver: One of these, much like the Balladeer. |
| 525 | * IgnoredEpiphany: Seems to have one [[spoiler:at the end of the final trial, when she's visibly taken aback by the Balladeer and Jezebel's continued kindness towards her. She does leave the scene without any further attempts at violence, but there's zero sign that she's actually taken their words to heart.]] |
| 526 | * ItAmusedMe: The main reason she runs the murdergames is for the sake of entertainment, for herself and others. |
| 527 | * LaserGuidedKarma: A recurring motive across the series, including her show, was to make everyone sick. In Round 3's deadland, ''she'' feels sick and with a killer headache, lampshading the idea of karmic justice. |
| 528 | * LonelyAtTheTop: The Balladeer at least suspects that this is why she became the way she is. |
| 529 | * TheManBehindTheMan: Did you ''really'' think the friendly, anti-murder Balladeer was the Mastermind? |
| 530 | * ManipulativeBastard: With more than just the motives. This mastermind moves the show along by playing on others' {{ambition|IsEvil}}s, insecurities, and overall emotions. |
| 531 | * MediumAwareness: Not only does she know she's in a musical, she knows she's in a Dreamwidth RP and [[spoiler:even has control over the mod account]]. This mastermind takes GenreSavvy and weaponizes it. |
| 532 | ** When [[spoiler:the players]] realize that she can do this, they [[spoiler:cut off her DirectLineToTheAuthor by ''making a private chat room to plot in,'' where the mod in charge of playing her can't see what they're planning.]] This doesn't make her happy. |
| 533 | ** She further escalates this after the final trial, when she [[spoiler:takes down the game comm's custom layout and CSS on her way out of the show. The comm remained in the default Dreamwidth layout until the Balladeer took control of the mod accounts and restored them.]] |
| 534 | * RuleOfRomantic: [[spoiler:Apparently, [[http://itscurtains.dreamwidth.org/8238.html?thread=4124206#cmt4124206 she's willing to bend some rules]] for the sake of a cute ship the audience loves.]] |
| 535 | * ShootTheDangerousMinion: [[spoiler:Very literally.]] |
| 536 | * SpellMyNameWithAThe: Much like many of the characters she's trapped, employed, [[spoiler:or both]]. |
| 537 | * SugaryMalice: Polite and practiced in PassiveAggressiveKombat with a smile. The letters to TheMole are constantly snapping between praising and insulting the recipient, all phrased sweetly. |
| 538 | * TragicKeepsake: This may be why she ended the game by [[spoiler:stealing the Balladeer's coat.]] |
| 539 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:The Leading Player certainly describes herself as this... and describes [[YouBastard the players]] this way too, for putting their characters through torture just in hopes of a happy ending.]] |
| 540 | * WrongGenreSavvy: For all her going on about how a GoldenEnding is trite and overdone, she ignores that that's what the audience would ''want'', and that her own attempt at subverting the trope didn't go as well as she pretended. |

| 670 | * HomoeroticSubtext: With Ariel, and plenty of HoYay to go around with a strong 'friendship' beginning in the very first week. Considering they both have canon lovers, it's uncertain if things will go further than that - especially once the memories start returning. |
| 671 | * LampshadeHanging: Stephen finds it abnormal that everyone - himself included - will suddenly burst out in to song. Considering his specific source material is a novel written to supplement [[Music/{{Starset}} a band's]] lore, it's not surprising he's not used to people singing their feelings. |
| 672 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: Separate from the 'standard' memory loss; he woke up missing six weeks, spent a day or two trying to find answers, then woke up at the Opera House. He still has no idea what went on during that time. |
| 673 | * StraightMan: He's a normal guy from a normal place abruptly thrust in to some abnormal circumstances - both in canon, and in the Opera House. |
| 674 | * TheSmartGuy: To a degree. He's regarded among many of the cast for his intelligence, but it's fairly niche; he's an astronomer by background (complete with {{Technobabble}}), and is self-admittedly a beginner with things like engineering and, say, computers. |

| 836 | * MeaningfulRename: [[spoiler: "Please, call me Eszmet."]] The player has stated this name was chosen on at least three levels; one, the SQUIP had grown close to [[{{MoralityPet}} Elizabeth]], and had mentioned liking her name. Two, it draws inspiration from the German letter 'Eszett'; literally 'es' (s) + 'zett' (z) - s[z] is for SQUIP! Three, Elizabeth and the SQUIP had also discussed the myth of the {{Golem}}, who had been brought to life via the Hebrew word 'emet'; truth. All of these, combined with the fact that realizing that its siblings had unique identifiers of their own, led the SQUIP in to creating a name as opposed to taking a standard human's. |

The Wizard wants everything to go back to the way it "should" be for the sake of the multiverse, which would end up making the entire series of games for nothing. |
