16	!!Table Titans
17	[[folder:Alan (Drake Shieldheart, Arroc Crowforth, Corvus)]]
18	!Alan
19	Alan is a member of the Table Titans, presumably one of the founders. He prefers chaotic characters, and mostly goes for classes like Ranger and Rogue. In season 1, he plays a human Cleric, in season 2 he plays a human ranger, and in season 5 he plays a fell (setting-specific tieflings) musketeer (setting-specific gunner).
20	* CompetitionFreak: Downplayed, but he still shows elements of it.
21	-->'''Alan''': Life is a competition.
22	* CharacterDevelopment: Does from a very roleplayheavy player with an insistence on competition and reluctance to accept new players, to a more welcoming guy with focus on fun rather than rules.
23	* DislikesTheNewGuy: He warms up to him eventually, but he's the one most hesitant to accept new Titans, and is especially critical to Darby, who's new to D&D.
24	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The aforementioned view on life.
25	* EtTuBrute: He was betrayed by Kate at the very precipice of godhood.
26	* ItsLikeIAlwaysSay: Alan is totally fine with Brendan prioritizing story over rules, as long as it means he can kill blink dogs with cantrips.
27	* ItsTheJourneyThatCounts: Eventually comes to realize this with a bit of help from Brendan.
28	* JewishAndNerdy: Jewish and an avid tabletop gamer.
29	* LeaderWannabe: He seems to fashion himself the leader of the Table Titans. The rest of the team does not totally agree.
30	* {{Jaccuse}}: Pulls it straight on Andrew.
31	* {{Jerkass}}: He'a a min-maxing, hypercompetitive douchebag who is still sore over a perceived betrayal that had occurred years before. But he gets better.
32	* NeverMyFault: According to Kate, he makes a habit of blaming others for his failures, usually the dm, the dice or other players.
33	* RealMenCook: But only when he's scheming.
34	* TheRival: With Kate from the Dungeon Dogs.
35	%%* GenreSavvy: InUniverse. He dislikes the game Colonists of Cazador because he's jewish and it's a game about German colonization.
36	!Drake Shieldheart
37	Drake Shieldheart is the Lawful Good Cleric played by Alan in the first season, First Encounters. Not out of choice, mind you, but since they were play testing, they couldn't roll up own characters. He's pious and righteous, but Alan slips up from time to time while roleplaying him.
38	* BadassBoast: Caraway is unamused
39	-->'''Drake''': With my sword returned, my arm feels complete once more. Woe betide any who dare defy my divine justice.
40	* {{Flashback}}: When attempting to summon a Lance of Faith, Drake flashes back to his time in the temple.
41	* GiveMeASword: Throws Caraway's knife to Lafleur.
42	* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: No helmet for religious characters seems to be a thing for this series, see Gar Dunwise bellow.
43	* IronicEchoCut
44	-->'''Drake''': He probably wants us to meet the mayor.
45	-->'''Drake, in prison''': '''Guard!''' When do we see the mayor?
46	* NotCompletelyUseless: Drake never bothered much with cantrips and the like, seeing them as only lesser miracles that doesn't matter much. But all of the Goddess' miracles are gifts to the world, and Lance of Faith ends up saving his life.
47	* PutOnABus: He returned to the abbey in season 2
48	* TokenReligiousTeammate: Is this for the first season, though it doesn't come much into play.
49	* TokenGoodTeammate: After a bit of nudging from the dm, Alan realizes that stealing the resources and leaving the villagers to their fate would be unfit for a paladin.
50	* InnocentlyInsensitive: Yes, we are far better than those peasants that tried before us. Oh, those peasants were desperate fathers defending their families.
51	!Arroc Crowforth
52	The human ranger played by Alan in the second season. It's unknown how he came to know the crew, but he's an excellent shot, and quite calm and collected, though he prefers the battle option whenever possible.
53	* LivingLegend: Bulthor claims that if Arroc makes the shot, he will be remembered in dwarven legends.
54	* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: In-universe. When he hits a drow from at least 100 feet, saving the life of Valeria.
55	-->'''Bulthor''': Land this blow, archer, and the bards of Adbar will sing of it for centuries.
56	* YoureInsane: Not to his face, but he does call the king of Adbar mad.
57	[[/folder]]
58
59	[[folder:Andrew (Lafleur)]]
60	!Andrew
61	Andrew is another founding member of the Titans. He claims to have played primarily healers prior to the start of the series, but falls in love with his Halfling Thief, Lafleur. He continues to play the thief up until season 5, in which he ascends to Dungeon Master, leading the Titans in his own campaign setting, Fallen Veil.
62	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His critique of gamers' habit of turning everything into a competition made him the
63	* OnlySaneMan: In the first season, he's a counterbalance to übercompetitive players Val and Alan.
64	* BetrayalByInaction: Debatable, but Alan certainly considers him this, after he refused to mention that the Dungeon Dogs were playing Fallen Veil.
65	* GameMaster: In the fifth season.
66	* KillerGameMaster: In the backstory, when Kate stabbed Alan, Andrew didn't even have Kate roll for damage, and instantly killed Alan instead.
67	!Lafleur
68	Andrew's halfling thief. Greedy, but will always stand by his friends if necessary.
69	* CallBack: In season 2, he carries a knife made with the Displacer Beast eye he got in season 1.
70	* TheSneakyGuy: Is the one the party turns to for stealth.
71	* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: Prone to these.
72	* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: He's a thief, not a genie.
73	[[/folder]]
74
75	[[folder:Val (Lulani, Valeria)]]
76	!Val
77	A member of the Titans, and only female. She prefers playing hands-on, though-as-nails characters with a strict sense of honor, and quite the ego. In other words, a barbarian. In the first season, she plays the bard Vala, not out of choice. She has a bit of a bias against bards, preferring the combat aspects of d&d.
78	* DumbMuscle: She's apparently so used to playing barbarians that, when forced to play Bard, she feels seriously out of her element, and even in situations where a bard could shine, she doesn't consider anything beyond punching until it stops being a problem.
79	* TheNeedForMead: She's apparently quite fond of the drink, since it's the only thing she orders from Darius.
80	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Her reaction to realizing her character is a bard.
81	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In the first page, she demands a mead, laughs when the barkeep asks if she's new, and brags about her accomplishments.
82	* TheAlcoholic: In the final page of First Encounters, she's passed out cold holding a bottle. It's not as depressing as it sounds.
83	!Lulani
84	Val's reluctant bard. She prefers a more hands-on solution, even when diplomacy is preferable.
85	* ImprovisedWeapon: Uses her lute as a club.
86	* PutOnABus: Downplayed, this being D&D where people switch characters regularly, but she was never seen after the time skip to season 2.
87	* SupportPartyMember: Reluctantly.
88	!Valeria Bronzebottom
89	A dwarrowdam warrior and niese of the great Binwin Bronzebottom.
90	* BadassBoast
91	--> '''Valeria''': I am Valeria Bronzebottom: Axe Maiden of Hammerfast, destroyer of the Eye Tyrant of Brockhurst, [[ContinuitySnarl Liberator of Haverford]], and I will not be '''mocked'''.
92	* BarbarianHero
93	* BerserkButton: She does ''not'' take kindly to being called "girl" in a mocking manner, or mockery in general.
94	* ContinuitySnarl: Somewhat justified, but she claims to be the liberator of Haverford. While it's the same player, that deed was done by Lulani, not Valeria.
95	** Justified in that Valeria and Lulani are implied to, in practice, be the same character. Val never wanted to play bard, but she still wants to participate in the overarching storyline. Could qualify as {{Retcon}}.
96	* LetMeAtHim: Attempts to assault Valeria when she orders him around like a valet. He's held back by Arroc.
97	* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Valeria (and the other dwarves) is pretty much an archetypical [[Creator/JRRTolkien Tolkienesque]] dwarf, outside of being female and not having a beard.
98	* TheBigGuy: She's a female dwarf, but she's definitely a barbarian.
99	* TheChosenOne: Zigzaged. She's Chosen by Dumathoin.[[note]]Dwarven god of mining and protector of the dead[[/note]] Too bad "Dumathoin" [[GodGuise is a manipulating drow.]]
100	* TheFace: She really shouldn't be.
101	[[/folder]]
102
103	[[folder:Darby (Draziw)]]
104	!Darby
105	The first new member to be introduced to the comic. He prefers spell caster characters, specifically wizards. In the first season, he's new to d&d, but learns over time. In the first and second season he plays the half-elf wizard Draziw. In season 5, he changes to a human rune caster, though it's unknown if it's the same character.
106	* AffectionateNickname: He calls Darius "Dee".
107	* BigEater: Appears most exited at the prospect of food.
108	* CharacterDevelopment: In the beginning, he's completely new to D&D, and barely knows the rules. By season 5, he's a valid member of the team, the other Titans consider him as much a Titan as them, and he can offer legit advice and contributions to the party.
109	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: In what game has a nat 1 ever been a good thing?
110	* {{Noob}}: When he was introduced, he was not only new to the Titans, but D&D in general.
111	* TheSmartGuy: While this is most often applied to his character, Draziw, by season 5, Darby has clearly brushed up on D&D lore. He's able to identify a creature that even Alan was unfamiliar with.
112	!Draziw
113	Darby's half-elf wizard, straight out of wizard school in the first season, but becomes a damed wizard by the second. Played in first and second seasons, but changes to a human in the fifth season.
114	* GenreSavvy: Is able to correctly guess Blackshield's backstory based on the cliches he's acting out.
115	* HalfHumanHybrid: It's unclear, but he's presumably half human/half elf.
116	* MagicMisfire: His Sleep spell ''hilariously'' only affects himself.
117	* NoodleIncident: He dehydrated at some point. We get no context to this, but it was gross.
118	* OpenAndShut: Uses the ''Knock'' spell to open a door in the Adbar citadel.
119	* {{Squee}}: He has his moments when he dorks out about getting to play D&D with people he admire.
120	* SupernaturalSensitivity & MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: While traveling around in the Underdark, Draziw sense some magic nearby. He's even able to differentiate it from the transmutation magic used to animate the horse construct used by the dwarves. He can also perform the divination ''Detect Magic''.
121	* TeamChef: Sure, he doesn't make any food, but he's prepared to scavenge for the food the party needs.
122	* TheSmartGuy: Mostly in the second season. While we never see the character sheets, he's a wizard and would thus have high intelligence. He's also quick to deduce the meaning of magic spells, and identify the presence of magic in the Rottwald.
123	[[/folder]]
124
125	[[folder:Darius (Gar Dunwise)]]
126	!Darius
127	The current newest member of the Titans. He's new to D&D, and haven't quite established his favorite class, but has played Paladin and Monk. He was first introduced as the barkeeper at a place the Titans frequents.
128	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Goes from unnamed barkeep (see bellow) to main character.
129	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The very first line in the series is Val calling him Barkeep. His name is revealed in the second season.
130	* TeamMom: Both he and Gar are concerned for their party members' health and safety. He's sure to make sure Andrew doesn't let his grandmother pay his rent without visiting her weekly, and warns Darby about not eating too fast.
131	!Gar Dunwise
132	A Paladin of Torm played by Darius in the second season. He's pious, and cares deeply for the people he has sworn to protect.
133	* OhCrap: When he realizes what Torm's answer meant.
134	* DivineIntervention: Before the Adbar counterattack, he prays to Torm for guidance. The gauntlet leaves little doubt to who answered.
135	* FlatWhat: When Bulthor informs him that they will drop Ironboot Tower on the invading orc army.
136	* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Every inch of him is covered up, except for his head.
137	* OpenSaysMe: They don't have time for Lefleur to pick Bulthor's cell's lock.
138	* ShoutOut: Directly references Drizzt Do'Urden from the Iceland Dale trilogy.
139	* TheMedic
140	* TokenGoodTeammate: Along with Draziw.
141	* TokenReligiousTeammate: Paladin of Torm.
142	[[/folder]]
143
144	[[folder:Brendan (Wurzel)]]
145	The recurring dungeon master for both the Dungeon Dogs and Table Titans. He later joined the players in season 5.
146	* KillerGameMaster: He vehemently denies being this, although he has shades of it. He clearly tipped the odds in the players' favor when they fought the Displacer Beast, since a lv. 1 party doesn't have the shadow of a chance of winning that fight.
147	* ShoutOut: When describing the backstory of the Iron Dwarf campaign, he's actually recounting the tale of the Second Sundering, and event in the Forgotten Realms made to explain the differences between fourth and fifth edition. He also mentions the similar events of the Spellplague and the Times of Troubles. Ao also looks like Creator/MatthewMercer
148	* SlasherSmile: Delivers a couple. When preparing the next session for the Dungeon Dogs, and when the Table Titans are fighting over what
149	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He's terrified of clowns. Kate calls him a cliche for it.
150	!Wurzel
151	A Boden, magical fae-like creatures that descend from the union of the Timeless and dwarves.
152	* TheFairFolk: Downplayed, but Boden are apparently a type of fey.
153	* FlatNo: When the party asks if he'd like to join them.
154	[[/folder]]
155
156	!!Dungeon Dogs
157	[[folder:Lilith (Lylith)]]
158	The apparently youngest member of the Dungeon Dogs.
159	* DaddyIssues: Her dad divorced her mom recently. That's all we know about it, but it clearly affected her deeply.
160	* EmoTeen: Her exact age is unclear, but she's likely in her late teens or early twenties. And yes, she is very emo.
161	* HiddenDepths: Like all the Dungeon Dogs.
162	* HypocriticalHumor: She accuses Kate of being overdramatic immediately after having done an equally, or more, dramatic intro for her character.
163	!Lylith
164	A half-daemon sorcerer Lilith played in the Fallen Veil setting.
165	* DaddyIssues: Her dad aboned her with her mom as a child, and when they finally reunited, he invited her into his thieves' guild before kicking her out again.
166	* HornedHumanoid: The Daemon race is clearly derived from the canonical Tieflings.
167	* OneSteveLimit: Averted. She's a Daemon, an original race based on Tieflings. However, the word Daemon is already used for a type of fiends in D&D, though they are so well known by their other name that it doesn't really matter. They're known as Yuggoloths.
168	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name is just Lilith's name with a Y.
169	[[/folder]]
170
171	[[folder:Owen (Bjorn)]]
172	The apparently oldest member of the Dungeon Dogs, a single father. He plays Bjorn, a runecrafter dwarf.
173	* StrugglingSingleFather: He takes care of his son on his own, and his living quarters are far from generous.
174	* SuperSenses: He claims to have an enhanced sense of smell after a car accident necessitated reconstructive surgery for his nose. The other dogs think it's bull, but he does have a pretty keen nose.
175	!!Bjorn
176	A dwarven warrior and runewielder.
177	* BlowYouAway: His hammer is engraved with the ''Wind of Cirmas'' rune, which causes a large blast of wind around him when activated. When he has to replace it with two smaller hammers, he engraves them with the ''Wind of Tormas'', which causes a blast directed away from him.
178	* DitzyGenius: He's a very clever planner who can make up impressive plans using limited means. However, he also has a tendency to forget the small details. It doesn't ruin the plans, but it does cause enough annoyance that the others ban him from making plans again.
179	* FirstFriend: He was the first friendly being Lylith encountered after being cast out of the League of Rats.
180	* MesACrowd: One of his runes engraved on his gauntlet creates numerous duplicates of himself around the area which mimic his actions.
181	* SquareRaceRoundClass: Not only is a dwarven scholar of magic somewhat unusual, but dwarves can't actually perform magic in the Fallen Veil setting. Instead, he makes use of runes.
182	* TheSmartGuy: While a bit of a ditz, he's the most scholarly inclined member of the dungeon dogs.
183	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Inverted. He's the only dude in the Dogs.
184	[[/folder]]
185
186	[[folder:Maria (The Markovian)]]
187	One of Kate's coworkers whom she invites to play with the Dungeon Dogs in ''Road to Embers''. She plays as the Markovian, a massively violent brute.
188	* AmazonianBeauty: She is rather tall and muscular, which Owen and Brennan take notice of.
189	* BlackAndNerdy: Not just because she's a librarian, she's also a fan of Conan, Gruu and even Sigurd of Saturn.
190	!!The Markovian
191	The last survivor of his people, a mighty barbarian who's like is not in the world today.
192	* BarbarianHero: Barbarian, certainly. And Maria ''claims'' he's chaotic good at least.
193	* DumbMuscle: He's not the sharpest tool in the shed, having a below-average intelligence of 8.
194	* ExactWords: He tells Lylith that he killed his people. After their collective suicide-murder, the Markovian was the last survivor, meaning that he must have killed the last other markovian.
195	* LastOfHisKind: His people, the Markovians, were a mighty warrior people who lived through a plague and a war, reducing them to mere wandering marauders. Eventually, they realized that they would never reach their WarriorHeaven like this, and decided on a consensual suicide-murder pact. The Markovian was the last survivor.
196	[[/folder]]
197
198	!Npcs
199	!!First Encounters
200	[[folder:Townsfolk]]
201	The people of the quaint town Haverford. Also includes a mad preacher.
202	* BurnTheWitch: And a bit of FlatEarthAtheist. Apparently living in a world where magic is commonplace still doesn't protect Draziw from accusations of witchcraft.
203	* TorchesAndPitchforks
204	* TheFundamentalist: Your town is besieged by monsters. The answer? HumanSacrifice. An anointed priest (cleric, but who's keeping count?) of the church arrives, carrying a holy blade and a shield inscribed with a holy symbol. Obviously a heretic and bringer of false idols.
205	* HumansAreBastards: The people of Haverford are turning on each other after the Beast's rampages.
206	[[/folder]]
207
208	[[folder:Alistair]]
209	A former adventurer and companion of Caraway. He served as mayor of Haverford for some time, but was in secret sacrificing the villagers to a sapient Displacer Beast he had made a bargain with.
210	* LeonineContract: The aforementioned Displacer Beast bargain.
211	[[/folder]]
212
213	[[folder:Caraway/Blackshield/Wolf]]
214	A former adventurer and companion of Alistair. He and his party were in a tough spot, though he and the mayor survived when the mayor made a bargain with a displacer beast. He does not consider it worth it.
215	* OhCrap: When he hits the false Displacer Beast, and realizes the real one is attacking him.
216	[[/folder]]
217
218
219	[[folder:Displacer Beast]]
220	A monster who made a pact with Alistair: The mayor and Caraway got to live, if the mayor offered the beast a steady source of food.
221	* EyeScream: Gets a knife to the eye.
222	* SensoryOverload: It does ''not'' like the sound of Lulani's tuning fork.
223	[[/folder]]
224
225	!!Winter of the Iron Dwarf
226	[[folder:Dwarves]]
227	The dwarves of the citadels in Winter of the Iron Dwarf
228	* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame
229	[[/folder]]
230
231	[[folder:Bulthor Grimaxe]]
232	Hammer of Clan Adbar, and a trusted advisor to the king.
233	* PrayerIsALastResort: After being wrongfully imprisoned, and hearing that Harnoth is planning a head-on attack, he acknowledges that there is nothing left to do but pray.
234	[[/folder]]
235
236	[[folder:Simon Goodfellow]]
237	A drow who wishes to exert more power on the surface. He manipulates Valeria into leading the dwarves into a hopeless slaughter.
238	* BecauseISaidSo: Disguised as Dumathoin, he claims his word is beyond contestation. If you know the Forgotten Realms gods, you know that's not really the case.
239	* DivideAndConquer: Part of his plan.
240	* GodGuise: Disguises himself as the dwarven god Dumathoin, god of mining and protector of the dead.
241	* KarmaHoudini: Beyond losing his entire army and maybe getting crushed by an avalanche, he disappeared at the end of season 2.
242	* MostDefinitelyNotAVillain: He uses the obvious alias Simon ''Goodfellow'', and is a member of the most backstabby race in all of Faerun, which causes the players to distrust him immediately.
243	* VillainsNeverLie: Zigzagged. The party are in disagreement about wether or not Simon is lying to them.
244	[[/folder]]
245
246	[[folder:King Harnoth]]
247	King of the Adbar dwarves. The siege and loss of his brother had taken a toll on his mind
248	* {{Expy}}: During the siege, he would often sneak out with a small group, or even alone, to slaughter orcs. It may have been unintentional, but a certain [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings king of Rohan and namesake for a famous location did something similar...]]
249	* TwentyFourHourArmor: Lampshaded by Brendan, who became worried about it as a result of his despair over his loss of his brother.
250	[[/folder]]
251
252	!!Fallen Veil
253	[[folder:Azhorn the All-Seeing]]
254	A mysterious elven wise man who seeks the dragon hatchling adopted by the Dungeon Dogs.
255	----
256	* BlindSeer: At least he claims to be, and there may be some truth in his claims to clairvoyance.
257	* EvilIsPetty: In his first appearance, he insults everyone in the tavern, despite needing their help, seemingly for no reason.
258	[[/folder]]
259
260	[[folder:Kozin]]
261	A Pillar Priest daemon of the house of stone, and current lord of the Karcelok.
262	----
263	* CombatPragmatist: While he's powerful enough to defeat the Dungeon Dogs on his own, he mostly pulls the simple solution of throwing them of a bridge.
264	* DishingOutDirt: As a pillar priest, he has ''incredible'' control over stones and rock. Not only can he levitate entire walls on his own, but he can animated obsidian golems and forge a rune with enough power to create a giant wall.
265	* ElementalMotifs: Stone, all the way.
266	* ElementalShapeshifting: He can turn his body into stone, making him a terrifying opponent to face.
267	* NoSell: In his stone form, he is immune to most normal attacks, though a strike with a hammer still hurt him.
