The Archipelago/Characters

Credenza Black
"Now, I am a waitress...but I can still kick your fuzzy butt!"

 * Strong Family Resemblance: She looks a lot like her parents. Some speculate counts as well,
 * Team Mom

Blitz/
"Look Credenza! I found something shiny!"


 * Adult Child: Very much justified by having no memories of... well, anything.
 * Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny: See his character quote? He says variations on that a lot.
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He does not need to rely on Raven for everything.
 * Loss of Identity
 * Talkative Loon
 * Talkative Loon

Raven
"For your information, I am a spirit, not a demon."


 * Ascended Extra: He was originally going to be little more than a recurring Mook who would possess Blitz, until the author pictured him and Credenza talking and it just went from there.
 * Badass
 * Deuteragonist: More or less.
 * Heel Face Turn
 * Help Face Turn: Credenza helping Blitz (and him by extension) is what sets off his transition.
 * Mook Face Turn: Raven was just "a Raven" before getting his soul.
 * The Lancer
 * Perpetual Frowner: As stated by the Word of God, "Raven smiles very rarely, not that I havn't tried to make him smile. It's hard to draw him with that expression without it looking... un-Ravenlike."
 * Good Angel, Bad Angel: Sort of; when he is using Blitz's body, Blitz starts floating around his shoulder.
 * Super-Powered Evil Side: Although the "Evil" goes away pretty quickly.
 * Winged Humanoid: Though the wings are magical, not physical.
 * Super-Powered Evil Side: Although the "Evil" goes away pretty quickly.

Lucinda
"You accepted the slavery of the Raven because you were scared of death. I accepted because I was afraid to go on living. In exchange for my faithful service, the Raven agreed to take away my fear and sadness. I no longer wanted my life, I had no reason to refuse."


 * Anti-Villain: Arguably.
 * The Dragon
 * Emotionless Girl: Justified, in that her deal with the Raven was that she lost her emotions.
 * Foil: Somewhat of one to Raven; by joining the Raven, she lost what he gained by leaving.

Knull
"Oh man, what have I gotten myself into? I don't belong here! I design armor! I'm not a killer like my uncle!"


 * Anti-Magic: A (very useful) ability of his, implied to be why Snow keeps him around.
