Rather Vocalized Illusion/Characters

Rather Vocalized Illusion (like many Web Shows) generally features guest characters or bit characters. The show's creator also has a large array of well known characters in other work's that also carry Val'Kyr Studio's name.

The Psychosocialist
The Psychosocialist is the main character played by Ethan Anderson, and plays the assistant to Bhaal in every side video. In the actual show, he is usually absent.
 * Butt Monkey: Psycho seems to have to put up with a lot of regular abuse from Bhaal.
 * Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: While Ethan appears in videos regularly, he no longer wears the Psychosocialist costume. Bhaal also addresses him as "Ethan".
 * The Cynic: The Psychosocialist is this in spades.
 * Dark Is Not Evil

The Monster
The Monster is a sprite, drawn to resemble a Gardevoir. It was represented in animated videos as a silent assistant to Bhaal. Since the dropping of animated videos, The Monster hasn't been seen since.
 * Badass: She is easily able to beat Bhaal into a pulp, usually when Bhaal does something to upset her. He generally remarks that it was totally worth it.
 * Cute Monster Girl
 * Fairy Companion: Seen alongside Bhaal in numerous videos and webcomics. Possibly not just an assistant...
 * When someone asked as a joke if Bhaal had any kind of attraction to Gardevoirs, he simply replied "Possibly."

Ascentia
Ascentia is another sprite designed to be used as an assistant. She is designed to look like Fluttershy.
 * Kid Sidekick: Ascentia behaves in a childish or innocent manner. Possibly a shout out to her appearance. Bhaal get's annoyed by this quickly.
 * Suddenly Voiced: Ascentia got a speaking role in one RVI, though it was a recycled Game Overthinker audio clip of Ivan.

Ragespawn
Ragespawn is the name for the manner Bhaal presents himself in a video on BioWare.
 * Berserk Button
 * Fan Boy: If you ever wondered if Bhaal liked BioWare...
 * Jerkass:If his similarities to Bhaal don't end at apperance and name,he's also an arrogant and abusive pedophile.

Brittany


Brittany is the newest addition to the drawn characters, appearing mostly in the RVI Questions Blog and in the Shirt designs.
 * Adorkable
 * Ascended Fangirl: Brittany is based off the real life fan of RVI of the same name, who was mentioned in credit rolls and Fanmail videos previously.
 * Belligerent Sexual Tension: One sided in Bhaal's case.
 * The Cutie: Brittany is always doing something cute or funny when she appears.
 * I Didn't Mean to Turn You On: A running gag with Brittany and Bhaal.
 * Les Yay
 * One True Pairing: As soon as Brittany first appeared in a comic where her and Bhaal are having a happy hug, fans started bombarding Bhaal with questions about her, and asking if there was anything going on between them. The way she is portrayed as the show's resident cutie doesn't help matters. Bhaal took this concept and ran with it for the webcomic.
 * Single-Target Sexuality: Bhaal is normally calm and reserved (for the most part) and is on record as having no reproductive instinct. However, introduce Brittany and... he changes.
 * Stupid Sexy Friend
 * White Knight Complex: Go on, we dare you to smack her, or something.
 * The Woobie: Any interaction in comics between Bhaal and Brittany tend to involve hugs... lots and lots of hugs.

Matthew Ryder
Matthew Ryder was the protagonist of Bhaal's Tale of the Valkyrie series. A powerful Valkyrie, Ryder was best known for killing a God. Ryder is perhaps the most well known character Peet has ever created.
 * Badass Longcoat: Ryder wears a cloak, a long black cloak.
 * Dual-Wielding: Matt's swords, Rage and Fury.
 * Flynning: Matt tends to favor the flashy swordfighting moves that would normally be impossible with such heavy weapons.
 * Mary Sue: The entire story Matt appears in plays with this constantly. The mocking got to the point where anyone pointing out that Matt was a Mary Sue character would receive a "No Shit Sherlock" from the author.
 * Shout-Out:
 * Matt's design is very visually based off Anakin Skywalker. He even makes this remark when he receives his robes in the VERY FIRST CHAPTER.
 * The Lich King is also a strong resemblance, especially when Matt is wearing his armor.
 * The Chosen One: Ryder was selected by Athena to be her greatest warrior. He was also her executioner.

Ascentia Kortai
Ascentia Kortai is the protagonist of the second arc of the Tale of the Valkyrie series as well as Doomsday Ascending. She is a Val'Kyr Battlemaster with a high position of being the Grand Lord's personal confidante and bodyguard.
 * Cool Sword: Ascentia wields a bronze tinted sword that can deflect magical energy, cut stone like paper, and create massive showers of sparks when it meets something it cannot slice through.
 * God Mode Sue
 * In the Back: After defeating General Xebre in Doomsday Ascending, a wounded Ascentia is blasted from behind by Princess Celestia, and imprisoned for war crimes... after slaying the Val'Kyr who were attempting to destroy Equestria.
 * The Omnipotent: Ascentia is shown snapping her fingers to extinguish an entire star. She is also capable of deflecting or otherwise absorbing attacks made by particularly powerful Canon Characters.
 * The Stoic: Ascentia rarely shows extreme emotion in her adulthood. While she smiles and gets angry, it's always a calm and reserved form.
 * Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Ascentia enjoys throwing her weapon to attack airborne enemies.
