Reflets d'Acide/Characters

Wrandrall

 * Ambiguously Brown: his natural skin color.
 * Anti Hero: Type I
 * Bad Liar: his attempts to conceal his demonical origin are ridiculously transparent. If the other characters weren't so oblivious, he would probably be screwed.
 * Color Coded for Your Convenience: parodied; Trichelieu casted a spell on him that gives him a skin color according to his affiliation. White is neutral, Red is Evil, Blue is Good.
 * Combat Pragmatism: his method to gain XP while avoiding fight ? Achieving enemies after his comrads already made them too weak to fight back.
 * Crouching Moron Hidden Badass: even though he's not really an idiot, he is a coward who will only take part in fight if forced or if there are absolutely no dangers. Yet, when the others actually get him to fight, he is shown to be a surprisingly good fighter despite being level 1.
 * Dark Is Not Evil: a dark-skinned half-demon dressed in black with a cursed sword, yet he is not evil. Nor is he good, he actually starts out as neutral . Notice however that he is still reluctant to reveal his nature to his teammates, implying it's a common idea in this universe that Dark Is Evil.
 * Disc One Nuke: he is a level 1 and as such supposed to be the weakest of the group, yet his sword can slice a Minotaurus in half in a single strike.
 * The Hero
 * Heroes Prefer Swords
 * Half Human Hybrid: he is a half-demon.
 * Lovable Coward: to extreme level; he will actually attempt to avoid anything potentially dangerous if he can.
 * Teleporters and Transporters: his main spell.
 * Teleporters and Transporters: his main spell.

Zehirmann

 * Author Avatar: serves as the author's incarnation in the game. An example of Tropes Are Not Bad.
 * Badass Beard
 * Big Red Devil: he is not a devil nor a demon, but he sure looks like one. And it doesn't really help him...
 * Flaming Sword: his signature weapon.
 * Genius Bruiser: he is the biggest of the group and appear to be the strongest, but he is also a very well-educated person with large knowledge about animals' language and calcul.
 * The Lancer
 * In the Hood: wear one to hide his devil-like appearance.
 * Magic Knight: he is a referred as some kind of "Pyrotechnic Knight". In practice, he is a really good fighter and possess a large set of fire spells.
 * Only Sane Man: he is the only one in the group to almost always keep a non-nonsense attitude, often trying to reason the others when they display sillyness or lack of teamwork (and he often succeeds through intimidation).
 * Playing With Fire: his spells are all fire-based.
 * Proud Warrior Race Guy
 * Redheaded Hero: litterally; his hair isn't the only part red, his whole skin is.
 * Weaksauce Weakness: he hates stairs, as his clumsyness makes them hard to descent for him. The narrator refers to them as his kryptonite.
 * Younger Than They Look: he is the tallest and the wisest of the group, yet he states in his presentation he isn't even adult yet.

Enoriel

 * Ambiguously Gay: subverted; Enoriel does have some effeminate mannerism, but he hates being mistaken for a girl, has no problem relying on violence, and is as disgusted as the other by Trichelieu's Depraved Bisexual behaviour.
 * Anti Hero: Type IV
 * Combat Pragmatism: he is especially proud of this.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Zarakai is his favourite target, but he does it to everyone.
 * Elfeminate: to the point he was mistaken for a girl by DDE.
 * The Fair Folk: compared to the traditional fantasy elf archetype, he is much more cynical and mean, and has few problem with abandoning his teammate when the situation is getting ugly.
 * Lovable Coward: though unlike Wrandrall, he is at least willing to fight as long as the ennemy isn't overly powerful
 * Magic Music: his trademark magic.
 * The Smart Guy: though he appears to share this role with Zehirmann.
 * Our Elves Are Better
 * Screw This I'm Outta Here: he is famous for doing this. Surprisingly enough, he never does it with his current teammates (he attempts it once but fails.)
 * Violet Eyes

Zarakai

 * Artificial Limbs: his adamantium leg.
 * Badass Beard: as expectable from a dwarf.
 * Battle Cry: "Tata Yoyo !"
 * Berserk Button: has several, including touching his beard, touching his mithril ring (see Grave Robbing below) and hearing some innocent words which phonetically sounds like "Nain-Insult" ("Nain" is the French for "Dwarf").
 * The Big Guy
 * Drop the Hammer: his signature weapon is a hammer.
 * Leeroy Jenkins: his sense of strategy rarely go beyond running toward the enemy while screaming his Battle Cry; often criticized by Enoriel.
 * Our Dwarves Are All the Same

Guertrude

 * Ax Crazy: and it was her downfall.
 * Dumb Blonde: played straight and even lampshaded by the characters.

 * Dumb Muscle: emphasis on the dumb part.

 * Too Dumb to Live: attempted to kill a bear of her own in order to get his skin as a cover. While being level 1.Even the other characters are embarrassed.

Trichelieu

 * Butt Monkey: the group was once willing to send him fighting a Minotaurus in an attempt to get rid of him, and Zehirman punch him at least several times in almost every episode since his appearance. Granted, he seriously has it coming.
 * Carry a Big Stick: and you can be pretty sure he will not forget to make a Double Entendre about it.
 * Crouching Moron Hidden Badass: he is the designated Butt Monkey of the team and obviously not a fighter. Yet, when the team attempt to get rid of him by having him face a Minotaurus, he actually wins without even requiring to kill it. Plus he turns out to have a lot of useful items.
 * Depraved Bisexual: hinted; he makes weird comments about everyone, including males.
 * Dirty Old Monk: parodied: almost everything he says is a Double Entendre about sex. The others are not oblivious to this, and often punish him for it.
 * The Chick
 * The Load: played with; he starts out as this, but it later turns out he has several spells, objects and materials that ARE actually useful to the adventures.
 * Reincarnation: he has been created by Guertrude's player as a replacement after Guertrude was killed. Lampshade by the characters.

The Narrator

 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Evil Laugh: usually when something happens to the main characters.
 * Interactive Narrator: justified, since he also is the game master.
 * Killer Game Master: though he almost always fails.
 * The Narrator: obviously.

Roger the Bartender

 * Ascended Extra: he started out as the bartender of the Tavern where the main characters met. Later, Zarakai gained the abilitie to summon him, leading to him getting his own part in the story.
 * Instant Messenger Pigeon:

Moumoune

 * Clingy Jealous Girl: displays this attitude toward Alia-Aenor when she adresses to Roger. Granted, considering how Alia-Aenor is described, this might be justified.
 * Frying Pan of Doom: her signature weapon and running gag.
 * Tsundere: her relationship with her husband appears to have shades of this; she keeps yelling at him, and being all angry with him, but she is shown to be actually worried after the first time he disappears.

Kyo Shin Zammurato

 * The Bodyguard: to the Seer.
 * Crouching Moron Hidden Badass: even though he is mostly portrayed as a comical character, he is revealed to be surprisingly competent when fighting Sacher-Masoch's servants.
 * Katanas Are Just Better
 * Only Sane Man: in one of the Chrismas bonuses, to the Clerks. When the Seer suggests to throw a kitty in the chauldron so the little girl will get it, he is the only one to point out the cat will not survive the process, and violently refuses.
 * Samurai

Gloum

 * Butt Monkey: any scene he appears, you can be sure he's gonna get beat up.
 * Halfbreed: half-elf, half dwarf. Better not imagine how his parents met.
 * Ninja Pirate Robot Zombie: parodied; he is half-elf half-dwarf, combines four classes (Warrior, Necromancer, and Druid with option Assassin) and possesses some gnome abilities. Let's just say the result isn't as impressive as you might expect...
 * Shout Out: an obvious spoof of Gollum. He even uses the same catchphrases.

The Seer

 * Badass Grandpa: parodied; the characters just won't stop commenting about how he is old yet good at what he does.
 * Big Good: arguably.
 * Not So Omniscient After All: he can only predict a limited part of the future, and sadly it's rarely the part needed in the sitution.

Yannosh

 * Deadpan Snarker: occasionally toward Bernie.
 * Healing Hands: he is the priest of life, and as such can both heal and resurrect people.

Bernie

 * Good Is Dumb: God, is he...
 * The Load: seen as such by Yannosh.
 * Love Freak: and it could hardly annoy Yannosh more.

Remi Chelin

 * Blessed With Suck: he has been granted the power to foresee the future, but as a price can't speak in any other way than singing. This made him so annoying to the other Clerks that they ended up trapping him in jail.
 * Sealed Good in A Can: is accidentally freed by the heroes when activating the Elzopean machine.

Belial

 * Abusive Parent: he has few consideration for his son beside seeing him as a servant and not killing him.
 * A God I Am: Mortis asks him if he is one at some point. He nods.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: inflicts this to the protagonists when first fighting them.
 * Dark Is Evil
 * Evil Is Hammy
 * Evil Sounds Deep
 * Knight of Cerebus: as soon as he shew up, the story suddenly took a more serious tone (though still being a parody).
 * Luke I Am Your Father:
 * Our Demons Are Different
 * Vile Villain Saccharine Show: he is taken surprisingly seriously compared to most characters, and displays a surprising amont of cruelty and evilness; even Alia-Aenor has yet to be that mean.
 * You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: did this to upon being freed.
 * Vile Villain Saccharine Show: he is taken surprisingly seriously compared to most characters, and displays a surprising amont of cruelty and evilness; even Alia-Aenor has yet to be that mean.

 * Evil Old Folks: though not explicitly stated, his voice suggest he already is quite old.
 * Evil Overlord
 * The Necromancer: his army is mostly made of The Undead.
 * Orcus On His Throne: despite being a major antagonist, he is almost never seen doing anything else than staying on his throne while his army and minions are acting.
 * Orcus On His Throne: despite being a major antagonist, he is almost never seen doing anything else than staying on his throne while his army and minions are acting.

Alia-Aenor

 * Faux Affably Evil: and how.
 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: her human form is a cute, beautiful young woman with a little girl voice, gentle attitude and a liking for romance. This doesn't prevent her from being probably the most vicious and cruel character in the saga after Belial.
 * Dark Action Girl
 * The Dragon: litterally, to Mortis.
 * Evil Is Sexy: according to every character in the saga, her human form is very attractive.
 * Evil Sounds Deep: her dragon form, to the point we don't know she is a female until she takes her human form.
 * Killer Rabbit: when seeing her human form, the narrator is puzzled and saddened to have to use her as a villain, arguing she can't be threatening, since a female dragon with a beautiful human form is too sympathetic. She quickly proves him how wrong he is by mercyless killing a group of thieves trying to rob her.
 * One Winged Angel: her real form is a giant black dragon. Played with in that she is first introduced in this form and assumes her human form later in the story.
 * Our Dragons Are Different
 * There Is No Kill Like Overkill: he signature spell, "Mort de Masse" ("Generalised Death"), is apparently the most powerful necromantic spell in this universe.
 * Scaled Up: inverted; her dragon form is her true form.
 * Scaled Up: inverted; her dragon form is her true form.

Sacher-Masoch

 * Butt Monkey: he gets hit constantly by both Moumoune and Kyo. Ironically, he enjoys it.
 * Combat Sadomasochist: parodied with him and his servants.
 * The Mole: is revealed to be this to the Clerks for Mortis.
 * Too Kinky to Torture: deconstructed; when Maender-Alkor's inhabitants realizes torture is useless on him because he enjoys it, they get him confessing by promising to hit him more if he does so. He also reveals Mortis convinced him to betray them by the same trick.
 * You Have Failed Me: a comical subversion; he wants to be punished by Mortis for his failure, but his master seems to not care much.
