3	!'''Kilo Monster'''
4	[[quoteleft:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kilo_monster_350x239_3260.png]]
5	Age: Unknown\
6	Occupation: Professional fighter
7
8	''Living life in exile from his homeland isn't so bad. He's got a heavyweight championship title and a garden. What more could a monster want?''
9	----
10
11	* BeastMan: A member of a reptilian race known as the Zid'ral.
12	%%* BewareTheNiceOnes
13	%%* BigDamnHeroes
14	* BlessedWithSuck: His mutation causes him to be literally three times the size of a normal Zid'ral, with extreme strength, endurance and an immunity to arcane matter. It also [[spoiler:was the reason he was exiled from his homeland.]]
15	* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Despite his extremely intimidating appearance Kilo is quite paternal, having an uncle-like relationship with Ayshia.
16	* ClothingDamage: Happens a few times to Kilo during unexpected fights in public. The funny thing about this is that it has involved additional layers of clothes he puts on when the weather is cold, since he's WalkingShirtlessScene the rest of the time ''anyway''.
17	%%* CursedWithAwesome
18	%%* DarkAndTroubledPast
19	* DumbMuscle: Sort of. Kilo certainly isn't mentally deficient, but he isn't all that book smart...except when it comes to gardening.
20	* FamedInStory: Being a famous professional fighter, Kilo turns the heads of countless bystanders for his fame, to say nothing of his conspicuous ''size''.
21	* GentleGiant: When he wants to be, especially when he's gardening.
22	%%* TheHeart
23	* TheHermit: He prefers solitude in his garden and rarely strays too far from his home.
24	* LanternJawOfJustice
25	%%* LightningBruiser
26	* ManlyGay: In a decidedly StraightGay fashion. It's largely a footnote AllThereInTheManual, along with his future relationship with Todd. While the artist occasionally [[FanService teases the audience]] with this on Tumblr and [=FurAffinity=], it is a non-issue in the main webcomic, [[InformedAttribute and it's planned to stay that way]].
27	* MartialPacifist: Ironic for such a prolific professional fighter to find so much sorrow in fighting. But he fights [[PayingTheirDues because he needs to make a living]]. Though occasionally provoked into angry fits of violence himself, Kilo does not [[BloodKnight relish violence]], and discourages others from giving in to their {{Berserk Button}}s.
28	* MrFanservice: With UsefulNotes/FurryFandom appeal.
29	* {{Mutant}}: Has a rare genetic mutation that makes him much bigger and stronger than most other Zid'ral.
30	* [[MyFavoriteShirt My Favorite Scarf]]: There is hell to pay if you destroy Kilo's favorite cute scarf.
31	* NatureLover
32	%%* TheExile: Forsaken by his clan.
33	* {{Profiling}}: Kilo is often assumed to be hostile for being a {{Mutant}} Zid'ral.
34	* PunnyName: "Kilo Monster" sounds similar to "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gila_monster gila monster]]", which Kilo certainly resembles.
35	* ScaryBlackMan: Or rather Scary Mutant, but the trope is alluded to, as Kilo is routinely [[{{Profiling}} profiled]] for ''what'' he is (rather than ''who'' he is), and random people are often scared of him on sight and often presume him guilty if something bad happens. Reinforced in that the author intended Kilo's voice to sound like the late Creator/MichaelClarkeDuncan, who has been known for playing characters who are good at heart but easily suspected, as in ''Film/TheGreenMile''. Humanized Kilo is a large, black man as well.
36	* {{Tsundere}}: A Type B, believe it or not. Kilo may be a professional fighter, but he's a gentle person most of the rest of the time...unless you're ''really'' [[BewareTheNiceOnes pissing him off]]. He's also TheHermit, and most people don't actually get to ''witness'' his gentle side.
37	* WalkingShirtlessScene: He usually wears a worn-out pair of pants, suspenders, fingerless gloves, a flat cap and sometimes a miniature sunflower -- usually no shirt.
38	* WallCrawl: Impressive, considering his size and how much he must weigh.
39
40	!'''NIKA'''
41	[[quoteleft:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nika_240x298_3434.png]]
42	Age: unknown (at least 50)\
43	Occupation: ARCANE TECHNOLOGY LIFEFORM AUTOMATED SYSTEM ([[FunWithAcronyms ATLAS]])
44
45	''In all her long years of existence, nothing has quite captured NIKA's non-existent heart quite like curling up with some comic books and her human family.''
46	----
47
48	* HappilyAdopted: Lives with the Andrews.
49	* TheHeart: Considering she literally has none.
50	* [[OlderThanTheyLook Older Than They Act]]: Well, we ''don't know'' how old she is, but she's at least older than her playful childlike personality would suggest.
51	* PaintingTheMedium: When NIKA speaks, her speech bubbles are the same style as those used for voices heard via electionic telecommunications devices (as seen when Jaymi talks to Nigellus through her tablet), but with the black and white colors swapped to emphasize NIKA's synthetic, non-organic nature. Additionally, her speech is printed in a deliberately pixelated font, whereas most other characters' speech bubbles use normal comics fonts.
52	* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: NIKA is an ATLAS, and her kind are just as capable of complex thought and emotions as "organic" people.
53	* RobotKid
54	* SpockSpeak: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. NIKA speaks in SpockSpeak-like wording, but the ''meaning'' of her speech is no less warm, childlike or playful for it.
55	* [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman What Measure is a Non-Organic?]]: When NIKA is mugged on the street, the muggers completely ignore her sentience and her protests and keep referring to her as "it", and even discuss whether they can scrap her for parts. In the city of Centro, most robots are ''not'' sentient, so NIKA's emotions and self-awareness catch people by surprise...if they take the time to observe it at all.
56
57	!'''Jaymi Andrews'''
58	[[quoteleft:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jaymi_andrews_240x281_3396.png]]
59	Age: 20 years\
60	Occupation: Engineering student
61
62	''With a major in engineering and a minor in [[TheSnarkKnight sarcasm]], Jaymi continues her father's research on arcane technology while he's out of the country.''
63	----
64
65	* AffectionateNickname: "Mimi".
66	* AmbiguouslyBrown
67	* CoolBigSis: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]], as Jaymi is six years ''younger'' than Todd. But she seems more mature and more emotionally stable than him.
68	* SirSwearsALot
69	* [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Gal]]
70	* TheSnarkKnight
71	* TertiarySexualcharacteristics: That huge pink ribbon is a constant reminder that this [[SirSwearsALot sailor-mouthed]] TomBoy is still a woman in touch with her feminine side.
72	* TomBoy: Ballsier than Todd, that's for sure.
73
74	!'''Todd Andrews'''
75	[[quoteleft:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/todd_andrews_240x448_1778.png]]
76	Age: 26 years\
77	Occupation: Peacekeeper Corps Officer
78
79	''This battle-worn soldier has a disposition of a marshmallow. Having witnessed the fall of Rokk'che firsthand, it's a wonder how he actually survived at all.''
80	----
81
82	* AffectionateNickName: "Todders".
83	* BerserkButton: Todd takes it personally if someone disparages the Peacekeepers' role in Rokk'che.
84	* CloudCuckooLander
85	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass
86	* HeroicBSOD: In Todd's backstory, explaining why he's so emotionally scarred.
87	* InterspeciesRomance: Not just between Todd and Kilo, but Todd's romantic life in general. Out of seven people he's dated, only two have been other humans.
88	* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: He's already a huge fan of Kilo Monster, and a [[HomoeroticSubtext very blushy]] one at that.
89	* LanternJawOfJustice: The visual symbolism is [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] by Todd's [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass foolhardy personality]].
90	* MrFanservice
91	* ShellShockedVeteran
92	* TriggerHappy
93	* UnkemptBeauty: He may cut his hair and keep it clean, but he looks like he never combs it.
94	* TheWorfEffect: Todd keeps getting his ass handed to him by more powerful opponents. First by Kilo, and then by [[spoiler:Nigellus]]. WordOfGod is that, in the latter case, it was originally going to be Jaymi who got beaten up, but the author changed her mind because Jaymi was the one least able to physically defend herself in the first place.
95
96	!'''Ayshia Nadia'''
97	[[quoteleft:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ayshia_nadia_240x282_8155.png]]
98	Age: 7 years\
99	Occupation: Flower shop assistant
100
101	''When she was taken into the care of her grandmother, Ayshia became her faithful and feisty apprentice. One day, hopes to be a master gardener... and a heavyweight champion.''
102	----
103
104	* AffectionateNickname: Kilo regularly calls Ayshia "sunshine".
105	* BeastMan: Appears to be some kind of donkey...or cat?
106	* BreathWeapon: She can breath fire when agitated or excited.
107	* InnocentFlowerGirl
108	* PluckyGirl: Even after surviving [[spoiler: Dr. Mayers' attack on the courtroom during Kilo's trial]], Ayshia is still plugging along with a smile.
109	*
110
111	!'''Dr. Nigellus Talbot Mayers'''
112	[[quoteleft:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nigellus_talbot_mayers_240x360_3855.png]]
113	Age: 45 years\
114	Occupation: Arcane Science Professor
115
116	''Once a renowned musician and philanthropist, the fall of Rokk'che had left him with nothing except his pet rat, Blagdan, and his research of arcane tech with Dr. Joseph Andrews.''
117	----
118
119	* FateWorseThanDeath
120	* FunctionalAddict: Has to continually take pills to dull the pain of what happened in Rokk'che.
121	* TheLostLenore: Pines over the death of his wife and child during the Rokk'che conflict.
122	* [[spoiler:SixthRangerTraitor]]
123	* SpockSpeak: The doc tends to be a little verbose even before his [[spoiler: [[StartOfDarkness little]] [[FateWorseThanDeath relapse]].]]
124	* [[spoiler:WickedCultured: Had a personality like this even before his transformation, but his newfound superpowered malice gave it an outlet to blossom.]]
