Gaia Online/Characters

Gaia has Loads and Loads of Characters. Here they are - or at least some of them.

Barton Characters
Agatha: The old lady who runs Barton Jewellers. Old flame of Logan's.
 * Fan Disservice: her infamous "Sagatha" Halloween costume.
 * Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!:
 * Halloween Cosplay: One of the original cosplayers in 2004 as Slimer. Later years brought us the memetic "Sagatha", a blue-skinned Medusa costume with a metal bra and not much else.
 * This year (2010) she's cosplaying as Cleopatra
 * Never Mess With Granny: Not a grandmother yet, but one piece of dialogue from a zOMG! quest involving her suggests that she finds the Animated more of a nuisance than an actual threat, and makes trips to Durem despite them and the barricade (and the rumored greater Animated presence in Durem).
 * There's also her fearlessness in putting her body on display every Halloween...
 * Shop Keeper

Barrett: The assistant to your Aquarium. Currently living with Mirai.
 * Friend to All Living Things: He loves fish.
 * Just Friends: There is a lot of speculation about Barrett and Mirai's relationship. But they probably put the fish before their own relationship.
 * Barrett definitely shows signs of interest in Mirai. And seeing as the two were based on a real-life couple among Gaia staff...
 * Manly Tears: He will shed some when one of your fish dies.

Carl: Apparently runs "Junk In The Trunk," and by "apparently," we mean "he's a perfectly normal elk standing behind the counter of a shop." And by "perfectly normal," we mean completely mundane.
 * Berserk Button: Apparently loud sounds are enough to get Carl riled up, but if you value your crew's life in Frontier Skies, do not kill his kin!
 * Glowing Eyes of Doom: The whole "deer caught in the headlights" look. Very creepy.
 * The Millstone: You could choose him as a guide during the Summer '10 event, which was an Affectionate Parody of The Oregon Trail. Among other things, he would eat your bullets and/or throw them overboard... and kill you if you shot other elk while hunting.
 * As a result, the badge you get for winning with him is easily the most expensive of the badges.
 * Shop Keeper
 * Talking Animal: Averted. Some holiday season errors result in him accidentally praising you for Christmas carols or Trick Or Treats.

Damian "Ian" Von Helson: Owner of Barton Boutique, a clothing shop specializing in costume items. He's the firstborn son of Vladimir Von Helson, and elder brother of Louie Von Helson.
 * Adorkable
 * Beware the Nice Ones: If you harm or threat any of his closest friends and family menbers, you're gonna be in for some major trouble.
 * Big Brother Instinct: Very much so to Louie especially after they both reunited.
 * Character Development: Quite a major one. The outcome? Check his level of badass!
 * Cool Loser
 * Dhampyr: Vampire on his father's side, human on his mother's.
 * Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: Due to years of exposure in the human world, Ian, by far, doesn't request much for his vampire needs, and gets along with people very well.
 * Halloween Cosplay: As Goku from Dragonball Z. In 2011, as Kotetsu from Tiger & Bunny.
 * Hellish Pupils: Comes from being half vampire. Ian's anything but "hellish," though.
 * Kindhearted Cat Lover
 * Nice Hat
 * Shop Keeper
 * Took a Level In Badass: Halloween 2K7 movie MMVII part II.
 * In the Crystal Overdrive CI, Ian not only earned his Bishie Sparkle, he also supersaiyaned into Cloud.
 * Vegetarian Vampire: Close, though he's very good at not craving for blood, he's certainly consumes human food normally, like cooked meat, and pies.

Leon: Captain of the Barton Regulars. Also runs the Guild Registry.
 * City Guard
 * Extreme Omnivore: He'd have to be, to eat his mom's cooking.
 * Made of Iron: Supposedly, he's "really tough" even by Gaian standards. Again, his mom's cooking.
 * The Stoic
 * Word of God: Not. Rina's. Brother.

Mirai: Owner of Phin-Phang, the cash-only aquarium store.

 * Cheerful Child
 * Genki Girl
 * Girlish Pigtails: As a child.
 * Halloween Cosplay: As Italy in 2010, and as an anthropomorphic flower prior to that.
 * Innocent Flower Girl: Parodied, then averted hard. She's a Genki Girl, a Yaoi Fangirl, a bully, and a Lethal Chef. And she supported SIN in Halloween 2009.
 * Item Crafting: Makes bouquets from flowers you picked in Gaia Towns.
 * Les Yay: She asked Nicolae if he was selling Alruna's Rose during the zOMG intro comic, specifically mentioning wanting "a sexy succubus", and then supported Sentinel's Infernal Nation during Halloween 2009. I wonder why.
 * Lethal Chef: The "special cupcakes" she sells have flowers in them and make people sick, and she's also made such things as a "chocolate-rhubarb-sausage pie".
 * She Is All Grown Up: She used to just be a cute and energetic little girl. This is her now. Quite a ladylike expression, too.
 * Shop Keeper
 * Word of God: Not. Leon's. Sister.
 * Yaoi Fangirl

Rufus: Ian's talking cat. He apparently comes from a "long line of talking cats" and help Ian run the store.
 * Cute Kitten
 * Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: A minor plot point in zOMG! He has a pair of pants he can't wear, because they don't have a zipper, so there's no place for his tail.

 * Beware the Nice Ones: Russell Ace specifically bribes you not to tell Becky he lost to you at Blackjack.

Cash Shop Item Characters
Flynn

 * Keet
 * Man of Wealth and Taste: While he was infected with pure evil and went by "T-Bone."

 * Sibling Rivalry: Saiph and Hatsya like it on Earth, but Rigel and Mintaka want none of that. Too bad for them, then, that Orion punishes them by exiling them to Gaia...

 * Make sure it's "dear lord eat something"-Gino, not the ultra-hot Gino from the Fusion Dance arc.
 * Blinding Bangs: Lifted just enough to show his eyes at the very end of the Demonbusters storyline, when he was made mortal.
 * In fact, his Nice Hat also emulates the effect. The Blind Seer trope might or might not be present...
 * Blue Oni
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Spending a millennia as a clam might justify him being out of touch with some things, but when the one who spent it in a box is more street-smart than him...
 * Demonic Possession: Subverted, as the possessor in this case is the good guy.
 * Dropped a Bridge On Him: Thanks, Jack!
 * Dude In A Clam
 * Estrogen Brigade Bait: When in his mortal form they seem to put a lot of effort in drawing in his toned muscle, nipple shots (most Gaian men don't seem to even have nipples), and even a small shot of his underwear. woo!
 * Expy: In looks only, but... without that hat, he looks an awful lot like Souji Seta.
 * Goofy Print Underwear: He got 'em (with little fish prints all over.) When he feels like wearing clothes that is.
 * Humanity Ensues: Jack transformed him into a mortal human at the end of the Demonbusters event.
 * Large Clam: FEELS GOOD, MAN!
 * Naked People Are Funny: CLOTHING WOULD MERELY DIMINISH MY POWER!
 * Yet when he manifests in his own form, he's fully clothed.
 * Also, in the "A New Man" manga, he and Sen's clothes get caught on a nail and rip completely off, to Gino's disgust (and readers' delight.)
 * Check again. Gino's disgust is on the side of his face that was toward the Sentinel. The side facing the Overseer had a different reaction.
 * Red Herring Shirt

The Sentinel: A demi-goddess of old. Was stuck in a box for 1000 years, where she went mad. Tried to take over the world during the Demonbusters event; made into a mortal human by Jack after the event.

 * Large Ham
 * Ms. Fanservice
 * Naked People Are Funny: See above.
 * Red Oni
 * Sealed Chaos In A Box
 * Stripperiffic: Her debut outfit appeared to have mostly been painted on. Her outfit in "When Gods Fall" appears to be a (too-tight) plastic trash bag and panties. You get the drift.

 * For Science!: Unsurprisingly.
 * Pet the Dog: When a "ghost hunter" pulled a gun on Chauncey, Rory stole the gun and chastised him for attempting to shoot a child.
 * When someone made a joke comparing the members of his fanthread (with which he had often interacted) to an Estrogen Brigade, he became indignant and asserted the respectability of the users in question.
 * Shown Their Work: The mod who "puppeted" the character had a very intensive knowledge of the old G Corp plot.

 * Stringy Haired Ghost Girl

Thucydides Ambrosia: delights in insulting other people. Wears a pimp hat, bling, and grill.
 * Jerkass

William F. Drink: Founder of Omnidrink; pretty much defines Corrupt Corporate Executive, and is responsible for the ghosts appearing.
 * Corrupt Corporate Executive
 * Ignored Epiphany: Kind of... He's learned to value his son, but is still fairly corrupt.
 * Ironic Hell: Not only was he trapped in his grave like the other ghosts, but he gets to be trapped while knowing that it's due to his own insensitivity.

zOMG! Characters
Blaze: Daughter of the pirate queen Marina, generally considered the mascot character for the game.
 * Improbable Weapon User: Mystically-empowered rings, just like everyone else in zOMG!
 * Knife Nut: Totes a machete. Dialogue from the Barton Guards suggests she does that even when she's not in the jungle, and uses it to harass them.
 * She Fu
 * Weaksauce Weakness: The reason she's not a pirate? She gets seasick.

Captain Cresento: Owner of Gaia's only airship. Debuted on April Fools' Day of '09 in zOMG!, but has since barged into the main storyline.
 * April Fools' Day: Captain Cresento appeared on April Fools' Day 09 in zOMG!, where he offered to take your character to a new area. The joke was that zOMG! would 'crash' just before the new area loaded.
 * Cool Airship: He owns one.
 * Dark-Skinned Blond: Well...silver.
 * Eyes of Gold
 * Jerkass: He's got an ego the size of Manhattan Island, easily. When he crashed his airship into the Overseer's makeshift airtubship, one of his remarks was, "I hope you have insurance, Overseer. I think your garbage pile scratched my airship."
 * Nice Hat: BOY IS IT EVER
 * It then paved the way to an item contest, challenging site members to make their own nice hats.
 * Our Elves Are Better: Blink and you miss it: when informed that Cresento and Nicolae have been assigned to the same task as he,  refers to them as a human and an elf. Nicolae's pretty clearly human, so that makes Cresento the elf...
 * Smug Snake: ... And boy is he better.
 * Spell My Name With an "S": The page says 'Crescento', but the doll says 'Cresento'. Which is it?
 * According to Lanzer, "Cresento". Not that people will ever stop being confused.
 * Spock Speak: Cresento speaks this way...well, according to his forum posts in the zOMG! forum.

Frank: A mysterious yet friendly nerd who initially provided your first rings.
 * : Not outright stated, but heavily implied.

 * Hollywood Nerd
 * Meganekko: A male example, at first.
 * Retcon: The opening sequence with him in the train was removed, along with most of the tutorials. This was a bad move.

Olivia: Leon's mother.
 * Lethal Chef: Let's just say "don't eat the cookies" and leave it at that. The fact that Leon eats her cooking is a testament to his invulnerability.
 * Never Mess With Granny: She eats and enjoys her own cooking.

Miscellaneous Characters
Cindy Donovinh: Anchorwoman for Action 9 News.
 * Ambiguously Brown: She is.... tan?
 * Hot Scoop
 * Meganekko
 * Zettai Ryouiki

Logan: Runs the bait shop by Bass'ken Lake. Was involved with Agatha at some point.
 * Captain Ersatz: We all know he's Wolverine!
 * Cool Old Guy
 * Day in The Limelight: The Poseidon's Legacy RIG
 * Item Crafting: Turns your caught fish into funny hats.
 * Shop Keeper

Ron Bruise
 * Boldly Coming: In the "Whatever Happened to Ron Bruise?" 4koma, he's making movies for the Zurg. One involves a bed scene with a fuzzy purple lipstick-wearing creature, who looks quite satisfied.
 * Church of Happyology
 * Goofy Print Underwear: Ron's heart-print boxers.
 * No Celebrities Were Harmed

Ivan: Represents the Gaian Revenue Service and collects taxes.
 * Ascended Extra: Proved quite popular as a RIG character, came back for the SOS event and then joined the manga cast properly in the Promageddon event.
 * Ship Sinking: Ivan was revealed to be Meredith's cousin, and visibly squicked at the thought of a romantic relationship with her. A lot of fans were very upset by this.
 * Understandably for them, because Ivan/Meredith used to be only a cute-looking crackpairing with some following. Had it never gotten a bait-and-switch Ship Tease in the Dark Reflection, which single-handlely confused the fanbase into whether that was a confirmation or a refutal, it wouldn't have been sunk in such a Wall Banger-ish way.

Nicolae: Owner of Back Alley Bargains
 * Bishounen: Check!
 * Bribing Your Way to Victory
 * Chekhov's Skill: His interest in alchemy, introduced to justify his Item Crafting service in zOMG!, comes back in the Bad Guy Side Story, where he starts trying to convince Cresento to let him run a shop out of the airship.
 * Early Bird Cameo: Appeared in the Olympics '08 comics and in the Halloween '08 comics before being introduced as the shopkeeper for zOMG! power-ups.
 * Fan Service: And if the sly personality, oral fixation, and apparent bisexuality weren't enough, his creator loves drawing suggestive pictures of him.
 * Gold Sink: The Alchemy shop is pretty unrepentantly one, and also focuses a lot on recycling old RIG dummy prizes.
 * Halloween Cosplay: As Alex from A Clockwork Orange in 2010.
 * Heel Face Revolving Door
 * Honest John's Dealership
 * Item Crafting: For a nominal fee, he'll create wearable items from your zOMG! loot.
 * Oral Fixation Fixation
 * Shop Keeper
 * Smug Snake
 * Snake Oil Salesman
 * Too Kinky to Torture: Natasha threatens him with piercings in delicate places. Nicolae's reply? Ask if Louie can play, too.
 * Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?: Justified, he's a con man and probably on the run from the law. We've seen him selling stolen goods, selling zOMG power-ups, crafting items from zOMG! loot, and now in the comics as a mercenary who's been hired to
 * He's also opened an Alchemy shop with Cresento, apparently while still running Back Alley Bargains out of his wagon in the Bifrost's cargo hold.

 * He's also opened an Alchemy shop with Cresento, apparently while still running Back Alley Bargains out of his wagon in the Bifrost's cargo hold.

Brennivin: Owner of Dernier*Cri, who gave up being a wizard for fashion. Is also the presumed owner of the Dark Reflection, as he appeared as the "Mysterious Man" in the RIG's Game Over scenario.
 * Always Camp: The fact that he's so fashion-obsessed, coupled with his attractiveness, has led way too many people to believe that he's gay. Or at least metrosexual.
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Early Bird Cameo: See above. Oddly, the SDPlus dolls of him released in the Dark Reflection showed him in his current appearance well before it was revealed to the public, possibly invoking this trope even more.
 * Expy: Basically Christian Siriano in cartoon form.
 * Which is hilarious, since the real Christian Siriano showed up in Ian's shop at one point to advertise.
 * Funny Foreigner
 * Gratuitous Foreign Language: he switches between English, Norse and German a lot. Of course, that's because he speaks a very different language.
 * Halloween Cosplay: As Andy Warhol, something a majority of the users didn't get at first glance.
 * He was in 2010.
 * At one point he mentions that his father didn't approve of Halloween and once turned him into a set of silverware for trying to trick-or-treat.
 * He was Sherlock for Halloween 2011.
 * Multicolored Hair: Black and red.
 * The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Rarely if ever does anything 'wizardy'. Last spell he cast was to find Gino, but ended up getting an email of his location first.
 * Possibly justified, since he did give up wizardry to pursue his passion for fashion. Aside from the spells needed to create new stock, it makes sense for him to be out-of-touch.
 * Shop Keeper: of the biggest damn Money Sink on the site, no less. Nearly everything in the shop has a cost in the millions... but is extremely elaborate and often has hidden features or poses.

Kanoko: First introduced in the Midsummer Swirl RIG, Kanoko is an exchange student who just has no luck with keeping a job. Is currently employed as Brennivin's assistant at Dernier* Cri, but we'll see how long that lasts. "Kanoko: So for Halloween, I was thinking kind of a cute, elegant... (wait, why am I still looking for a job?)"
 * Dojikko: The plot of the Dark Reflection kickstarts with her tripping into it, after all.
 * Early Bird Cameo: Like Brennivin, she and Radio Jack were designed for the luxury item shop, but introduced through RIGs. Not a lot of people realize this because of how much earlier Kanoko and Jack were introduced.
 * Halloween Cosplay: For H2K9, she was all dolled up as fellow NPC Hatsya. Something of a Mythology Gag, considering the two characters were both created by the same artist (Ethe.) In 2010, she dressed up as Hermione.
 * Lethal Chef: Possibly, but since it's only Rina's cooking that gets tasted out of both their efforts, we can't say for sure.
 * Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?: Something of a Running Gag with her -- so far, she's been an ice cream vendor (fired by Ivan for forgetting to charge tax on her sales,) a star mascot for a planetarium, and, as mentioned, Brennivin's assistant. It got so bad that she even tried to apply for a place in the Halloween event while she was still employed.
 * Which led to an absolutely adorable Lampshade Hanging.


 * Now she's currently running a temp job over at Rina's shop while Brennivin is away.

Radio Jack: Also introduced in the Midsummer Swirl, as an "avid proponent of summertime evil". However, that "evil" really only extends to being a snarky little critter. Is speculated to either be owned by (or even created by) Brennivin.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Early Bird Cameo: Like Brennivin, he and Kanoko were designed for the luxury item shop but introduced through RIGs. Not a lot of people realize this because of how much earlier they were introduced.
 * Halloween Cosplay: Radio Jack Sparrow, anyone? He also did Easter cosplay as a Grunny in 2010. And when Halloween came around that year, he went as Pikachu.
 * Mix and Match Critters: Some sort of rabbity-bat-thing. Some have speculated that he may or may not be a cabbit, just more demonic-ish.
 * Non-Human Sidekick
 * Ridiculously Cute Critter: To some. His nephew Waidio, from the Luna's Incense RIG, is even cuter.

Diedrich: A talkative little grunnie who spoke with Radio Jack. He also owns a sextent and can guide an airship. "Did you know only 1 in 1200 Gaians wears underwear? I'm the expert. Since I'm short."
 * Bizarre Alien Biology: And how.
 * Born Lucky: Or at least, he's extremely lucky in the '10 Summer Event, having the highest starting loot and Luck Stat.
 * Though one of his events reveals that grunny's feet are actually unlucky...
 * Covert Pervert: This has to be the reason why he's the one giving out items related to Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt.

"Diedrich: Fact: Most airships explode and the crews burn and suffer horribly for hours on end! No matter how much they cry out for help or mercy, it never comes! :D"
 * Cute Little Fang
 * Explosive Breeder / Truly Single Parent: Began asexually reproducing for the Easter 2012 event.
 * Meaningful Name: Possibly inverted. The timing of his appearance and the fact that his name can be separated into "died rich" led to many theories regarding some connection with Gambino. There is no other evidence for any of it.
 * Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant


 * Talking Animal
 * Who Wants to Live Forever?: During the Easter 2011 update, he gets bombed by the Easter Bunny, only to reveal that "Grunnies are very hardy!" Then, he tearfully adds, "Maybe it is impossible to die..."

Bruce Hardcastle: A sports announcer introduced during the Rejected Olympics of '09. Choked on a potato and died before Halloween; brought back to life during Halloween by Jack, and re-killed afterward when Jack crammed a potato down his throat. Currently roaming around as an angry ghost.
 * Back From the Dead: Twice; Sentinel brought him back to life after he choked on a potato then Jack re-killed him after the 2k9 Halloween event; now he's come back as a ghost for the 2k10 event.
 * Ghostly Goals: Type B.
 * Jacob Marley Apparel: He's wearing the same thing he wore when he choked on a potato.

Meili: A god found on Dref Dur that also happens to be a son of Gaia (as in Mother Gaia) and the god that the Overseer and Sentinel seek to try and see if they can gain their powers back through him.
 * Bishonen: As with most to all of Reapersun's male creations.
 * Facial Markings
 * Guyliner
 * Handwraps of Awesome: They seem to be bandages, anyways.
 * Hellish Pupils: His irises seem to be slitted (none of the pages gives you a good look at his eyes anyways), but (if true) subverted in that he's actually quite nice... to Gino, at least.
 * Pretty in Mink: Meili wears the fur of an animal or beast alongside its skull.
