8-> "Hey! I get to be useful in combat for once!"
9%%* ButtMonkey
10%%* ChaoticGood
11%%* {{GMPC}}: The rare non-sue variety.
12* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Merthuvial is too crazy to speak to his comrades much after he is [[spoiler: forced to read ''Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles'' in Tharizdûn's prison]].
13* JackOfAllTrades: He was the party's skillmonkey, and nothing else, having skill ranks in just about everything.
14** MasterOfNone: However, he does not have skill focus or other feat bonuses to any particular skill.
15* MoralityChain: For the order. [[spoiler:...and the Chaotic Stupid Pantheon.]]
16

24* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Kribnefka's Speedy Suburb summons a house over the opponent. Kribnefka's Crushing Cabin is a weaker version, but still does substantial damage.

39%%* TheVoiceless: HMMM.
40
41!!Dressmar Swooping Falcon, Dragonfire Adept
42%%* ChaoticNeutral
43* ChaoticStupid: Even among the Half-Price Heroes. Case in point, Dressmar, the original owner of the greater rod of wonder, an item that could destroy enemies, is just as happy when it gives him a paint job, shrinks him, and creates leaves out of his body.
44%%* ConfusionFu: GREATER ROD OF WONDER!
45* PyroManiac: In Tolstoff Keep, Dressmar spends about half an episode burning everything in every chamber that is without a name.
46
47!!Lulu, Human Monk 21

52-->"Is that another innuendo?"

61* PunnyName: Matt Tenant is a "walking, talking, Dr. Who reference."
62* WillingChanneler: Matt Tenant is the only one to accept the nightmare form's promise of power, then promptly gets branded for it.
63
64!!Yaseilex Aisafflam, Half Fey Grey Elf [[NinjaZombiePirateRobot Archivist 3 Wizard 1 Paragon 3 Mystic Theurge 11 Ruathar 3]]
65An elf who is very much in the wrong campaign.
66----
67* BackFromTheDead: Killed and reincarnated.
68* CantArgueWithElves: Grey Elven superiority complex (reinforced by his epic levels).
69* FateWorseThanDeath: Was reincarnated as a gnome. He doesn't stay that way, though.
70* JackOfAllTrades: "Trades" here meaning spells. By Level 21 he can cast every single spell in all of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''.
71* LawfulGood: Making him rather an oddity in the group.
72* MasterOfNone: He cannot cast the spells at a high enough level to effect the plot.
73* MinMaxing: Yaseilex is min-maxed for an entirely different campaign.
74%%* OnlySaneMan: Besides Merthuvial, that is.
75
76!!Sibas Sin, Sorcerer 11/Nightmare Spinner 1
77* BagOfHolding: More like "bag of hoarding" for Sibas, who keeps EVERYTHING he sees, down to moldy rugs and silverware.
78* ComedicSociopath: When presented with any obstacle at all, Sibas almost has to make a Will save not to KillItWithFire. For example, during the filler pilot, he nuked a gang of more than a half-dozen commoners.
79
80!!Kakua, Barbarian 11
81* TheBerserker: She is essentially the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]] due to her SuperStrength and UnstoppableRage.
82
83!!Afonchwyn, [[MsFanservice Nymph]] 7 Ranger 12
84Yaseilex's cohort. Before PowerCreepPowerSeep was by far the toughest member of the party.
85----
86%%* HappilyMarried: To Yaseilex.
87%%* LawfulGood: Odd for a fey.
88* MadeOfIron: Defeats several early traps by walking through them.

93[[/folder]]
94
95[[folder:The K-Team]]
96!!Asifa Skullhunter, Kobold Druid 8
97A Kobold paleontologist with an unnecessarily high charisma score. She's quite beautiful by kobold standards, but spends most of her time wildshaped because Kobolds [[BoisterousWeakling can't hold up their own weight]].
98* MurderIsTheBestSolution
99--> "Look, we don't have a way to cure their insanity, so why don't we just kill them and then I can cast Reincarnate?"
100%%* NeutralEvil
101* TheVamp: Oh, how she tries. Sadly, the Kobold standards of beauty are quite different from those of other races. Targets so far include a half-orc, dracula, Hong Meiling, a mute assassin, and Patchouli Knowledge.

103%%* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Comes with the druid package.

130A Half-Orc Half-Minotaur Half-Fey. Removed from the game due to balance issues. Died in Hell, and went on to build an afterlife more suited to his tastes- the Plane of Hitting Things, a constantly regenerating landscape which sends violent creatures at him.

133* ImprobableWeaponUser: Krezznorg's armaments have included a pirate ship, an orcish basketball (a 7.5 foot wide sphere of lead), a jail cell door, an orcish discus (a manhole cover),the corpse of a Pit Fiend, and the "[[RocketPunch KREZZNORG ROCKET FACE!]]".
134* SuperStrength: Carries a ship around like a backpack. Takes part in numerous orcish sports, including Orcish Kickball, Orcish Soccer, Orcish Basketball, Orcish Fencing, and atomized an PitFiend with a single attack. Due to the way the digital character sheets work, his carrying capacity is listed as "Infinity."
135%%* ThirdPersonPerson
136
137!!Rhythm (Monk 2/Paladin 2/Warlock 8/Hellfire Warlock 3)
138An early prototype of the Warforged, created by artificers by the names of Lumen and Crafty.

158!!Mentak the Magnificent (Changeling Wizard 5/Beholder Mage 1/Elemental Savant 10)
159
160A money-obsessed changeling who has become a Gold Elemental through the Elemental Savant class. When someone said "money can't solve all your problems", he bought a ring of telekinesis and a sack of gold bullion, setting off to become an adventurer.
161----
162* ChaoticGood: And one of the few characters to live up to this.
163* MoneyFetish: He bathes in it, lives in the most luxury he can reasonably afford, and has Spell Thematics (Money). This means his magic missiles are blasts of pennies, his Fireballs melting coins, and his Gust of Wind blows prommisory notes.
164%%* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Comes with the Changeling package.
165
166!!Botharug the Mighty (Kaorti Monk 6/Fiend of Possession 6/Legacy Champion 2)
167->"Who the hell do you think I am?!"
168A Kaorti who possesses an iron golem called "The Crimson Face", which he combines with seemingly random objects (a castle, a mirror universe, a lake) to create new bodies. Before his forcible conversion, he was an orc living in a monastery. Afterward, he took up adventuring as a way to thwart the kaorti and do some good in the world. Carries a lead tent with him to avoid the harmful effects of the material plane.
169----
170* BareFistedMonk: A Martial Monk to be precise- he can use his ability to possess objects to become a ninja building as well.
171* DemonicPossession: He's a Kaorti, so more "CosmicHorror" than demon, but it still counts.
172* PowersViaPossession: He can give a weapon up to a +7 enhancement as long as he possesses it, or enhance his allies.

184* BrownNote: Fear the point-blank sonic damage…it hurts…
185%%* GaleForceSound: See BlowYouAway…
186* InfinityPlusOneElement: Sonic damage is resisted by very few creatures, meaning that the damage that is most easily put out by him is especially likely to work.
187* MusicalAssassin: When you're putting out 9d6 points of [[InfinityPlusOneElement sonic]] [[NonElemental damage]] with touch attacks every round without having to spend a spell, you tend to have this.
188* NonElemental: Sonic is typed, but is second only to force for magic damage in terms of how few things can prevent it.
189%%* SonicStunner
190* WeakButSkilled: He's on what essentially amounts to life support due to his weak strength, but still deals much more damage than one might expect.

193%%* TheLancer
194%%* TrueNeutral
195
196* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Can give energy resistance of whichever type is needed at the time.
197* ElementalPowers: Most of his attacks, though FireIceLightning are actually the three weakest of his attacks, and so are used least often.
198* MoodSwinger: Based on which element(s) are being used at the time or, if none are being used at the moment, were most recently used. After regaining spells, though, the default personality, a contemplative curiosity, is restored until the next elemental song is played.

201%%** AnIcePerson and MakingASplash

203%%** ??? and PoisonousPerson
204%%** LoudOfWar and NoIndoorVoice
205%% Please add context.
206* TheSneakyGuy: Although a bard, his ability to produce subsonic sounds that still allow him to transmit his magic, combined with his ability to perform underwater and to levitate, makes him the best member of the party for the job.

210%%* ChaoticGood
211
212%% * CharmPerson with [[TropeCodifier Charm]] Person
213* ManipulativeBastard: An illusionist and an enchanter makes for a strong confidence in one's ability to get their way, though he doesn't have the negative, "villainous" connotations that tend to come with the term.
214* MasterOfIllusion: Creates illusions of dense fog, a maze, an electrical cage, etc. to get the enemy to not see them, which then combos with Gladys' team True Seeing ability to let the party see them, making a one-way illusion.
215%%* MindControlMusic
216%%* TheReliableOne
217* NamedWeapons: The Songbow, a shortbow that gets a Charisma bonus to attack rolls for the price of one usage of bardic music (aka one step below the mythical [[InfinityPlusOneSword use-activated True Strike weapon]])

220%%* TheBigGuy
221%%* ChaoticGood
222

226* LargeHam: His catchphrase includes "I have sampled the finest wines and ales of the thousand planes, I've delighted in our most beautiful groupies, climbed the tallest mountains, tasted the flesh of the most powerful bulls, lions, and sharks this world has to offer, and drink tiger blood with every meal…"

243* PowerNullifier: Her Jarring song shuts down enemy spellcasting
244%%* SpeaksFluentAnimal as a…you get the drift

341A Grey Elven girl. Was originally Yaseilex's apprentice.
342----
343%%* CheerfulChild: ...Until she gets a vision.
344* CreepyChild: "That was creepily adorable." – Matt Tenant on Rebecca threatening the party {{Noob}}
345* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Whenever she sees the future with her augury ability, since she has a tendency to always see the worst possibility that could happen during the time.
346* InsistentTerminology: Yaseilex's player created her and calls her Casae. No one else does (thanks to Creator/LittleKuriboh).
347* MadOracle: Rebecca, whenever she peers into the future, gasps and changes her voice from adorable to creepy.
348%%* OracularUrchin: Almost exactly this trope
349* TalkativeLoon: Rebecca, when hit by an insanity spell, started spouting random words and phrases.

361%%* LargeHam
362
363!!Steve Popo, Hugglelord of the Cuddlepits (Mr. Popo)
364-> "I am the Iron Angel, the Hand of Dispater!"
365Note: The name is derived from an online poll on the show's Facebook page, which contained three options: Mr. Popo, Steve, and Hugglelord of the Cuddlepits. Since they all seemed to be almost as popular as one another, the Dungeon Master just made them all in his name.
366----
367* CoupDeGrace: His M.O. is to [[TheParalyzer paralyze his opponents]] with a critical hit with his +5 Vorpal/Paralytic Burst greatsword "Dark Angel's Hand" that divides into bastard swords (one with vorpal, then other with paralytic burst, with the one that is used by the greatsword being chosen whenever the two recombine) or his Lynxpaw (i.e. rapier + ball and chain), which he is especially likely to succeed in doing (he can threaten a crit on a two with the latter).
