83
84''"'I'll work on figuring something out for a [[WeCanRebuildHim reboot]], I'll assume theres some sort of neural override in there and Antares is awake and along for the ride if he [[HesBack came back to himself]] a bit for you."''
85-->--Likhassa, Headphones
86
87A former Captain of the Guard of the now-dead civilisation of Scorpius, Antares became the [[UnwillingRobotization unwitting subject]] of [[MadScientist Verelinne rosa Tiberius']] experimentations, culminating in the near-destruction of Antares' existence. With the help of the few friends he has, Antares has begun to remember who he is, and seeks to [[TheAtoner atone for his wrongdoings]], provided he's able to escape his present circumstances.
88----
89* AFatherToHisMen: Shown to be this in the present, implied to be this in the past.
90* TheAtoner: He has a lot of blood on his hands. Though unwittingly in most cases, he aims to repent.
91* BrutalHonesty: Though he has learned some degree of withholding truths.
92* ComicallyMissingThePoint: PlayedForLaughs and [[ExploitedTrope exploited.]] He takes quite a lot literally.
93* DeclarationOfProtection: To Alhena during their [[DistressedDude time as prisoners.]]
94* Determinator: Refuses to die, if it means leaving Alhena behind.
95* DeusExMachina: The control cluster [[MadScientist Tiberius]] uses to control him is this.
96* DevotedToYou: This to [[BigBrotherMentor Alhena.]] His center is Dedication; guess who he's dedicated to?
97* DistressedDude: Not as much as [[BrokenBird Alhena,]] but was a [[BrainwashedAndCrazy prisoner in another way.]]
98* EatingOptional: Does not need to ingest food, but does require water to function. [[PlayedForDrama This has come into discussion on a rather somber note.]]
99* EvenTheGuysWantHim: It's said that plenty of folks found him attractive back in the day. From both sides.
100* EveryoneLovesBlondes
101* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The responsible to Alhena's foolish. At least, [[DistressedDude before drama happened.]]
102* GoodLookingPrivates
103* HatesBeingTouched: He gets very awkward when people touch him. [[UnwillingRobotization It's justified.]]
104* HeelRealization: He came close, before [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Verelinne got her hands on him again.]] Resurfaced later thanks to [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight Alhena's stubborn insistence.]] This time it worked.
105* HeterosexualLifePartners: Arguably was this to Alhena. Though the Heterosexual part doesn't so much apply to the latter.
106** [[AgentsDating About that...]]
107* IAmNotAGun: Doesn't want to hurt anyone any more.
108* IAmNotHim: He is not Antares and would like everyone to stop calling him that. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] when he accepted the truth.
109* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: [[{{Foreshadowing}} What's coming to him]] from Likhassa.
110* InsistentTerminology: He's a machine. [[CharacterDevelopment Now that he's accepted who he is,]] he'd rather you call him a human.
111* Leitmotif: A somber cello.
112* LoveEpiphany: Is currently undergoing this realization.
113* MeaningfulName: The designation he was given was that of the most revered individual in the Scorpii Aristocracy. This is more of a taunt, however. Also applies to his real name Antares, after a star in the Scorpio constellation.
114* MercyKill: What he intended to do to Nootau Leo. Also his game plan if [[BrokenBird Alhena]] couldn't be rescued.
115* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Didn't quite get there, but came close to this after the death of Nootau. Definitely got there when he severely scarred his friend.
116* NoSenseOfHumor: Especially not while he's BrainwashedAndCrazy.
117* ParentalSubstitute: Is this to the Pitch's rogues. In particular appears to be this to Flint.
118* PapaWolf
119* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: [[JustifiedTrope Justified.]] When you consider what happened to him...
120* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: What he believed killing Nootau was, as opposed to taking him alive to the Nightmare King for who knows what horrors.
121* ShirtlessScene: Any time Tiberius is doing repairs or updates. [[FanDisservice It's not treated as particularly pleasant.]]
122* SteamPunk: Literally lives for this trope.
123* SuicideMission: Was almost sent on one of these, until [[PapaWolf Alhena]] [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight pulled some strings]] to get him out of there.
124* TechnoBabble: Carma uses him as an outlet for her tech-geekness.
125* ThatManIsDead: Feels this way about himself in some regards. He considers himself to be Antares, but a new, reborn Antares.
126* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Takes every opportunity he can to defy [[MadScientist Tiberius]]...so long as [[DistressedDude Alhena]] isn't being threatened.
127* UnableToCry: And with his DarkAndTroubledPast and many emotional moments, he often wishes he could.
128* UnwillingRobotization: Unwilling and unaware. Played for drama.
129* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed.]] He views himself inferior because he is a machine made to serve. [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Or so he thinks.]]
130* WithDueRespect: Typically how he talks to superiors when he disagrees.
131
132!!Tobias Nacismbeni
133-> Played by Gengar. Face claim: Morty (Pokemon).
134[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/110914d2_0a12_4613_912f_fe9a9aca9e46_zps5ivtgwpf.JPG]]
135 [[caption-width-right:250:He makes Dementors look drab.]]
136
137----
138* AHeroToHisHometown: In all honesty his race thinks of him as a brave noble out in Man's world trying to make it more welcoming to their kind.
139* AnIcePerson: Tobias can freeze things, and his former wife embodied this trope even more
140* BewareTheNiceOnes: Yes he is amiable and friendly, but that doesn’t make him any less a threat.
141* ColdFlames: Iced flames that are colder than most prefer.
142* ComfortFood: Emotion eating vampires all have their favorites. He prefers the savory taste of trepidation and sadness. They taste like peanut brittle and savory herbed meatballs receptively.
143* EmotionEater: I mean his breed of vampires do feed on emotions.
144* EmotionControl: Weaving heart strings can lead to some unfortunate instance of playing with feelings.
145* FallenHero: Once a person who protected humans, but now thinks they have too much power.
146* FriendlyEnemy: He doesn't necessarily hate Guardians, heck he even has a few as friends, Leora as example 1.
147* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: He isn't a sadist or even too much of a jerk face. He believes in being polite and nice to people initially.
148* HorrorHunger: If you find out that the emotions he eating is actually life force, then it could get to this level.
149* NecessarilyEvil: he knows some of the actions he's doing is wrong, but he sees it as needed to make the world a better place.
150* NobleDemon: Vampire, check; Sided with shadowman, check; underhanded...not so much.
151* OurVampiresAreDifferent: do not even confuse with blood sucking vampires.
152* Patricide: While justified it still wasn't pretty. He gave him a drink laced with silver.
153* PunchClockVillain: If being bad doesn't forward a goal, he would rather be friendly when he can.
154* Really700YearsOld: He may look as if he is in 20’s, but he was born during the Renaissance.
155* SilverHasMysticPowers: In a bad way for him, Silver is poisonous to him.
156* StrongerWithAge: Like most his race, the older he gets the more powerful he is.
157* SugarAndIce: Nice when he is off duty, but rather ruthless when on Court of Shadow business.
158* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: A world where the magical world and the humans world coexist is a lofty goal.
159* VampiresAreRich: Somewhat true, he is from the upperclass of his society.
160* WellIntentionedExtremist: A unified world even if the road is littered with bodies.
161* YinYangBomb: Iced fire, yeah he control an oxymoron.

179
180----
181* BlackComedyCannibalism: Plays people-eating largely for laughs.
182* CannibalismSuperpower: Arguably how she became what she is.
183* DepravedBisexual: Proudly seems to flaunt this.
184* DistractedByTheSexy: Serves both as the distracted an the distraction.
185* ImAHumanitarian
186* LovableRogue: Only very, very narrowly. Much less lovable, much more rogue.
187* MoralityPet: Athie and Fairlee. Hurt them and she will eat you.
188* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Does not care about established rules and does what she wants.
189* ToServeMan
190* {{Wendigo}}: Though listed as a cannibal, she is technically this.

193!!Caerwyn Sagittar
194[[quoteright:199:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/guardians_caerwyn_4.png]]
195[[caption-width-right:200:Look how cute he is.]]
196
197->''"' ...Empathy sucks sometimes. I mean, I get the amalgamized feeling of what everyone around me is feeling and stuff, and like, fear and anxiety tend to be stronger emotions so whenever those are present, I totally freak out. And it sucks y'know? But...I wouldn't trade it for anything. I think....if I didn't feel that, if I didn't get those emotions, I couldn't live with the emptiness. I'd just feel so hollow. So like....me getting your freaking out? I...I welcome it. I'd rather get that than nothing. Even if it means I'm accidentally being a bit nosey."''
198-->--Caerwyn, Measure of a Lion
199
200
201----
202
203* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Nootau, as he DiesWideOpen. [[HesBack It gets better.]]
204* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: The Gentle Girl to Nootau's Brooding Boy.
205* BuffySpeak: InvokedTrope. Carma uses this intentionally for his style of speech.
206* CannotSpitItOut: Frustratingly, at the beginning. [[DyingDeclarationOfLove At least until the feels hit.]]
207* CommonalityConnection: [[MadeASlave Tragically,]] with Alhena. They hug it out pretty good after that.
208* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Suffers this as a product of muse evolution; early dialogue does not quite coincide with how he speaks now.
209* SerenadeYourLover: How he greets Nootau after his attack by the Nightmare King.
210* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead
211* StarCrossedLovers: His relationship with Eirian. [[KillItWithFire Naturally it didn't go well.]]
212* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: How he views empathy sometimes. See quote.
213
214!!Moon Rabbit
215[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/guardians_moonrabbit.png]]
216
217
218----
219* AnimalMotif: Is an actual rabbit.
220* BetterWithNonHumanCompany: Not very social and tends to be very blunt, but he's also an AnimalLover.
221* BullyHunter: Specifically loiters in areas bullies and their ilk might linger just so he can beat them up.
222* FriendToAllLivingThings: Played with. He's a friend to animals for sure.
223* FunetikAksent: It takes a bit to learn, but most have figured it out.
224* GentlemanAndAScholar: While he's a bit gruff, he tends to be gentlemanly on the whole, and certainly fits the scholarly type.
225* LovableRogue: Played pretty straight and [[InvokedTrope invoked.]] He was modeled after the character type after all.
226* OldMaster: Pretty damn old dude, and fits the teacher aspect well.
227* SternTeacher: Fits this trope perfectly.
228* VigilanteMan: Should go without saying, given his nature.
229* WhatTheHellHero: Arguably made a huge blunder by disappearing off to the moon and leaving his best friend on Earth. Whoops.
230* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: The accent itself is somewhat brogueish, but unspecified for cultural sensitivity reasons.
231* WifeBasherBasher: He doesn't take too well to sexist pricks.
232!!Ninianne Tamesis
233[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/guardians_ninianne.jpg]]
234
235
236----
237* ElementalEyeColors: Blue eyed with water magic. With a little bit of IcyBlueEyes for the piercing quality when using her power to see leadership virtues/vices.
238* ItsAllMyFault: In general she's pretty prone to feeling guilty about failing in her responsibilities someone or stop an injustice that she witnessed.
239** Not being there when Nimue woke and subsequently joined the Court of Shadows. Justified in that her choices did play a role in it, but the blame is not exclusively on her.
240** Happened in "Faces of the Past" as she blamed herself for not stopping Caerwyn's unfair punishment and death. Resolved in this case thanks to Caer's YouDidEverythingYouCould speech.

279
280->''"'As long as this world exists, there will be good in it. Even if you have to search to the tiniest of corners and cracks, I promise you will find something. I exist, do I not? My light cannot exist without something fueling it, whether it be metaphorically or physically, faith is my benefactor. I have faith in you, you can find that goodness somewhere, whether it be in yourself or in the farthest depths of this world.'" ''
281-->--Leora, Somewhere In Between
282
283* WideEyedIdealist: Being ever the optimist, (and this being also what gave her the centre of 'Faith'), Leora is ever the naive hopeful girl even in the most darkest of situations.
284* BewareTheNiceOnes: Although she may be incredibly patient, there is a heated temper to match when pushed to the edge. Also, she is not so merciful in battle as one may think when innocents are in danger.
285* CuteClumsyGirl: Ditsy in her moves, an actual problem. It's a miracle [[PlotArmor she hasn't died yet.]] She has taken some ''pretty'' nasty spills. Often followed by an ImOkay.
286* LightEmUp: Her powers, and her physique in general.
287* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Genuine kindness and incredibly blonde hair. Although it's more an [[MysticalWhiteHair off-white.]]
288* Really700YearsOld: Well, more like 300. Although her mindset is [[ImmortalImmaturity still pretty young,]] she ''can'' still have [[TaughtByExperience moments of wisdom to spare.]]
289* VirtueIsWeakness: She's incredibly gullible, due to her easy trusting. Which can land her in some [[UnluckilyLucky sticky situations.]]
290* VirginInAWhiteDress: Although not always in white, this trope is incredibly relevant.
291%%* FriendToAllChildren: Pretty much in the job description.
292* EveryonesBabySister: Although she is 300 years 'grown', she still finds herself needed to be guided by those wiser than her.
293* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Leora loves physical affection, and even in her most excitable moments, she finds herself [[CuddleBug popping every personal space bubble in existence.]]
294* EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy: A habit she has developed, although this is definitely the extent of her 'properness.'

304 [[caption-width-right:250:So edgy.]]
305
306
307----
308%%* AFatherToHisMen: Displayed this behaviour towards Antares.
309* BodyguardCrush: Plenty of ShipTease to go around, particularly during threads while both were [[ActionFilmQuietDramaScene captives.]]
310%%* CannotSpitItOut: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] He doesn't seem to have much trouble saying it.
311%%* EnemyWithin: Has been dealing with this for quite some time.
312%%* HotTeacher: Given [[{{Plot}} recent development,]] it could be argued that Tars sees him as this.
313%%* MadeASlave: Not that most people know this.
314%%* MeetCute: How [[MayflyDecemberRomance Snowflake]] was first introduced. And then came into the picture...
315* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Had a moment of this when [[MadScientist Tiberius]] revealed that he just [[StrappedToABomb planted a bomb in Antares' stomach.]]
316* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Paigen and Nootau's red. Inversely, the Red to Caspian and Antares' Blue.
317* RescueRomance: [[PlayingWithTropes Played with.]] The rescuer was [[OfficialCouple Adrian,]] but he wound up [[KilledOffForReal giving his life in the process.]] Enter [[DeclarationOfProtection Antares,]] who [[AfterActionPatchUp takes care of Alhena]] during the recovery phase. [[ShipTease A new realization comes to fruition.]]
318* ServileSnarker: Not to everyone, just the people he clashes with.
319* StepfordSmiler: Extreme variation on Type 1. [[CharacterDevelopment We're working on that.]]

333* AnimalMotif: Crab.
334* ChildhoodFriends: With Nootau Leo. [[BetrayalByInaction We're not sure if]] [[UnfriendlyFire that still stands.]]
335* DarkAndTroubledPast: Right along with the rest of the starkids.
336* PutOnABus: Hopefully soon [[TheBusCameBack to be rescued.]]
337* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Nootau and Paigen's Red. Fitting here, as he's AnIcePerson. Arguably the Blue to Alhena, as well.
338* TheHeart: Is viewed as this to the other starkids by the memberbase.
339
340
341!!Jack Kelly
342[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jackkelly2.png]]
343
344
345----
346* BigBrotherInstinct: Formerly with the newsies, currently with Matty.
347* IdiotHero: Was specifically [[LampshadeHanging called this]] in-thread by [[DeadpanSnarker Matty.]] He lives up to it.
348* MeaningfulName: His middle name, Abner, means "my father is a light" which pretty much sums up Aurora.
349** The fact that middle names in general are not often used also reflects Jack's refusal to acknowledge Aurora as a father figure.
350* ObliviousAdoption: A Celestial raised by humans, but he [[LukeIAmYourFather found out]] a few years after they died.
351** HappilyAdopted: He considers the people who raised him to be his real family no matter what.
352

355
356
357----
358* BrokenBird: [[AvertedTrope Narrowly averted.]] Doesn't stop the metaphor from prevailing.
359* BrutallyHonest: Can be downright cruel with her words.
360* TheSpock: The logical one among her sisters.
361* TheStoic: Rarely, if ever, smiles.
362
363!!Nootau Leo
364[[quoteright:199:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/immortals_nootau.jpg]]
365
366
367----
368* BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: Played with. This was the intent behind Nootau leaving - and not just towards Caerwyn, but everyone - but ultimately this was what damaged him the most.
369* ChildhoodFriends: With Caspian. [[TheAtoner He wants to keep it that way.]]
370%%* CommitmentIssues: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] This seems to be the case, but [[CharacterDevelopment he's grown up.]]
371* FaceHeelTurn: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] [[EvilCounterpart Dark!Noot]] doesn't gain full control, and Nootau does everything in his power to avoid the Court of Shadow's side.
372* [[HerBoyfriendsJacket His Boyfriend's Jacket]]: - Given by Caerwyn moments before the long, lonely journey.
373* InterspeciesRomance: Celestial Human (Leo) and Human.
374%%* LadykillerInLove:
375%%* LiteralChangeOfHeart: After his HeroicSacrifice and subsequent DisneyDeath.
376%%* PromotionToParent: If only he knew...
377%%* PutOnABus: Aimless wandering/brooding while the darkness had hold on his heart.

399-->--Edward, ....Nothing would ever happen to him
400
401A [[HalfHumanHybrid half-youkai]], Carter's birth was anything but pleasant; his mother, turned into an ubume, [[DoorstopBaby gave up]] her son to [[TheEveryman some schmuck]] who happened to be around. It's been understandably difficult, as Edward doesn't know about his half-youkai nature, and Carter's abilities are [[BlessedWithSuck hard to handle.]] They've moved from Japan to settle in Burgess, Pennsylvania and...hope that things will be quieter and calmer. [[{{Foreshadowing}} Yeah, like that will ever happen.]]
402----
403* AwesomeButImpractical: A half-youkai with the ability to shift pain between himself and his target. It sounds cool, but when you're [[RealLife trying to be]] [[IJustWantToBeNormal a normal kid]] it makes things difficult.
404* BlessedWithSuck: How he viewed his powers, particularly when he couldn't control them.
405* BusFullOfInnocents: Was one of said innocents. Fortunately, he was rescued.
406** Doubles for DistressedDude.
407* ChildOfTwoWorlds: Human and Youkai.
408* DarkAndTroubledPast: Surprisingly so, for one so young.
409* HappilyAdopted: Seems to be the case, even if it's difficult at times.
410* HalfBreedDiscrimination: Seems to be the case. Half-Youkai are rare and, apparently, a delicacy to full Youkai.
411* IJustWantToBeNormal: Feels this way, it would make life a lot easier.
412* ShowerOfAngst: Shown once, when dealing with the aftermath of the kidnapping.

416 [[caption-width-right:200:Meet [[TheEveryman dad.]] He's as [[TheGenericGuy normal as they get.]]]]
417
418Edward is just an [[TheGenericGuy average man.]] He has a slightly DarkAndTroubledPast, dealing with a family split that drove his father [[TheAlcoholic to drink,]] and that ultimately drove him to peace out and [[IAmNotMyFather do everything in his power not to be that man.]] His [[TheSmartGuy studies in science]] brought him to Japan, where he wound up with a DoorstopBaby and, being the NiceGuy, took him in. But, becaue his son is BlessedWithSuck, it's been anything but easy. Now they've settled in Burgess, Pennsylvania, in the hopes of having a normal life. [[{{Foreshadowing}} Ha ha. Ha.]]
419----
420* BoringButPractical: Everything about him.
421* DeadpanSnarker: When the world around you is full of magic and you're a normal guy, this is [[JustifiedTrope somewhat justified.]]
422* FunnyForeigner: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] Though he was often treated as such, much to his annoyance.
423* GiveHimANormalLife: Wants this for [[HalfHumanHybrid Carter.]]
424* IAmNotMyFather: Really, really doesn't want to be his father.
425* InsaneTrollLogic: One of his biggest pet peeves is this.
426* NiceGuy: [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold If a bit gruff.]]
427* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: And how.
428* TheSmartGuy: Could be this; he's a biology whiz, after all.
429* TheTeamNormal: Completely human, no magic.
430* TokenWhite: While in Japan, he was this to a degree.
431** TokenHuman
432* UnfazedEveryman: ICC interactions would make him out to be this around magical beings, after the initial startle.
433* WhiteGuilt: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged.]] He gets it to a degree, but also recognizes it's everywhere, not just white people.
434* YouKnowImBlackRight: Experienced this in Japan as the TokenMinority at the time.

442* TheLoad: Sometimes feels like this and thus tries harder not to be.
443* MouthyKid: Surprisingly so, for one who can't speak.
444* TheNicknamer: Has a name for almost anyone. They're not very nice.
445* StreetSmart: Has to be; he did grow up in that kind of environment and all.
446* TheVoiceless: From birth. He hates it.

456* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Actually takes a lot of issues seriously, even if they're hard to believe.
457* UnfazedEveryman: He's just an ordinary guy living an ordinary life, or trying to, but he doesn't let tales of Wendigos get to him. Yet.

477
478A criminal from the Scorpii constellation, Verelinne found the [[OnlyMostlyDead dying Captain of the Guard Antares,]] [[UnwillingRobotization stuck his brain inside a robotic body,]] and used the leftover organic matter to [[MoralEventHorizon fuel her ship]] and escape the destruction. She now works with [[BigBad Pitch Black]] and is the Court of Shadow's resident MadScientist.
479----
480* {{Dominatrix}}: Seems to have this personality, particularly around the enemy.
481* EvilutionaryBiologist: She believes that machines are the ultimate life form and, naturally, has no sympathy for her biological compatriots.
482* GadgeteerGenius: She made Antares' robot body.
483* InsultOfEndearment: Calls biological entities "meatbags".
484* MuggleBornOfMages: Unlike other Scorpii, she cannot manipulate the element of water at all.
485* OneWingedAngel: Ultimately what she hopes to achieve on earth. [[{{Foreshadowing}} It might be in the works...]]
486* {{Squick}}: A lot of what she does [[InvokedTrope invokes]] this trope.
487* RoboticSpouse: WordOfGod says that she could only ever love a machine. Fortunately, this rules out Tars, who is at least part human.
488* SteamPunk: As a member of the Scorpii constellation, this is a given.
489* TechnoBabble: As the EvilGenius, this is a given.
490* TheSociopath: Has no sympathy for living beings.
