The instigator of the Mad Scientist Wars. Has a skill for organization of events. His body is heavily laden with nanobots, to the point where an EMP can severely cripple/kill him.

Tropes associated with So It Begins:
 * Affably Evil
 * Cybernetics Eat Your Soul
 * Grey Goo
 * The Many Deaths of You: Yes, death by chocolate is one of them.

Andrew Tinker
A hero with villianous tastes and mannerisms (his English class is alternately proud and terrified of him), Andrew has the ability to see the narrative and change it. Socially awkward, though that's getting better. Has a thing for David Toboz.

Tropes associated with Andrew Tinker:
 * Genre Savvy
 * Reality Warper
 * Rewriting Reality
 * Tranquil Fury

Commander Primary Xerox
The head of M, he attained the position because of his skill with paperwork. Tropes associated with Primary Xerox:
 * Badass Bureaucrat
 * Da Chief
 * Expy: He is a lot like Commander Vimes. Except for the paperwork.
 * Healing Factor

Jane Narbon
A femme fatale villianess who specialises in mind control and manipulation.

 * Evil Is Sexy
 * Femme Fatale: She won an award for it!
 * Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter
 * The Vamp

David Toboz
Initially a villian named Professor Zobot (Spell Zobot backwards), he tried to blackmail Jane Narbon into killing So It Begins. They teamed up and blew up his base. He emerged from the wreckage covered in burns, missing an arm, and suffering from amnesia. This seems to have reversed his alignment. He now fights crime.

Formerly had a sentient robotic prosthetic arm he used as a replacement for his missing one, it turned out to be evil and tried to kill him and other people. After what became known as the Zobot Arm got destroyed, David replaced it with a nonsentient, super strong mechanical one.

Tropes associated with David Toboz:
 * Amnesiac Dissonance
 * Artificial Limbs: His left arm.
 * Butt Monkey
 * Beware the Nice Ones
 * Blank Slate
 * Cannot Spit It Out: Backpedals from telling Tinker he loves him.
 * Can't Catch Up: To his brother. He went Mad trying.
 * Chronic Hero Syndrome
 * Dead Little Sister: Due to Accidental Murder, no less. Also his Start of Darkness.
 * Heroic Self-Deprecation: Failed, failed, failed...
 * Laser-Guided Amnesia: Yup. Justified in that he was downloading his mind into a robot arm and didn't quite finish before the explosion severed the link.
 * Man Child: In out of continuity threads, Sarcastic even comments on this. Twice. This may be because the few memories of his previous life he has are ones from his childhood.
 * Nice Guy
 * Sibling Rivalry: Taken to almost Cain and Abel levels.
 * Skilled but Naive: His naivete also interacts interestingly with his paranoia.
 * Walking Techfix: This is one of his spark's two interesting facets - He can understand, fix, and even improve, given time and materials, anything. Anything. The downside is that he cannot create his own stuff.

Micheal Toboz:
Created by Dana Amino for the Zobot arm, using random teenager's DNA and with the memories of the Zobot Arm as well as copies of minds of other mad scientists. Created by the Zobot Arm to take vengeance on it's foes if it failed. Micheal upon being activated decided that vengeance was stupid and settled down to do general evil. Hates Primary Xerox for reasons he doesn't care to explain.

Tropes associated with Micheal Toboz:
 * Affably Evil
 * Crazy Prepared
 * Go-Karting with Bowser: Hanging out with Fredric.
 * Mind Hive
 * Mind Rape: Someone who wants him to kill David Toboz forces him relive Sarah's death, feeling what David felt, over and over and over again on a constant loop. They tell him they will stop if he does what they ask.
 * Slap Slap Kiss: Jennifer
 * She Is Not My Girlfriend: Suuuuuure.
 * Inner Dialogue: Micheal has the dregs of the personalities of seven mad scientists in his head, which leads to this trope. It gets worse when he's alone (although shock and stress can also cause it), to the point of being unable to tell who he is amongst the conflicting viewpoints. This makes him actively seek out human contact as a stabilizer.

Sarcastic Female NPC
David Toboz's sidekick. Has a bit of a problem with being less good than she feels like she should be. Is a bit of an RPG nerd-girl and has a tendency to be used by her author as a mouthpiece out of game. No nonsense, sane as can be, yet despite all of this has shown a tendency towards being a thrill seeker.

Tropes associated with Sarcastic Female NPC:
 * Clark Kenting: Has this as a superpower.
 * Common Sense
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Deal with the Devil: A demon has offered Sarcastic power in exchange for her soul. She is yet to take up the offer, much to the annoyance and surprise of the demon.
 * Jumped At the Call: But after a while started to wonder if she'd bitten off more than she could chew. Too bad, because once you've answered it, The Call Knows Where You Live.
 * Unfazed Everyman
 * Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?

Richard Toboz
David's bigger brother. Martial arts expert. Does not like Mads.

Tropes associated with Richard Toboz:
 * Aloof Big Brother
 * Badass Normal
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Good luck finding it.
 * The Determinator
 * The Unfavorite: It's implied/outright stated that he was looked down upon because he didn't have the Spark.

Lady Drezebel
Mad artist, bisexual, fangirl and married to Richard Toboz. Known for Rule 34-ing pretty much anything. Has an understanding with her husband about her habits. Just hold still and hope she didn't see you yet. If you're lucky, she won't use you in her next sketch...

Tropes associated with Lady Drezebel:
 * Mad Artist
 * Reality Warper

Cleese
Techno-mancy, Magitek, or whatever else you want to call trying to use cystal batteries for a power drill still has a few hiccups in it- one of which blinked and became known as, simply, Cleese. A floating, red, jellyish little creature adopted by Fredric and Micheal with a limited vocabulary, and as of yet unknown properties. Very intelligent all things considered, and terribly cute. Approximately the size of a grapefruit.

BBC
Stands for Blue Baby Cleese- BBC was born when the already cute Cleese was hit with a fanservice ray. A small bit popped off, went blue, and hid behind something while making a peep sound. Much shyer then his 'big brother', and teleports. About the size of a tangerine.

Erik
One of two orignaly non cannon 'Cleeslets', has recently entered the game proper. A strident little green 'brother' to BBC, who makes grring sounds, and has adopted one Natalie after he saw her whang a room of assailants with a norse god. May have escaped from the universe of fanfiction.

Ruby
The second of the originally forum chat only Cleeslets. Ruby is, apparently, a girl- although this may be literally just because she prefers the look of it. No ones going to argue, since she is terribly cute, and likes to do people up in new clothes and is fiendish when confronted with bad taste. Has rather adopted Sarcastic.

Natalie
Certainly not a Valkyrie. Certainly not going to punch you in the face if you try to bug her. She's an atheist and ignores all the strange stuff around her deliberately to irritate people. Carries a sledgehammer pretty much everywhere.

Tropes associated with Natalie:
 * Natalie has used all the Bar Brawl tropes, but...
 * Grievous Harm with a Body: ...whanging soldiers with a Norse god really stands out.

Khan
A sentient talking tiger. Friend of Sarcastic and Natalie, despite the latter's chagrin. Going to college with an English major, inexplicably.

Ryan
A relatively new character. Is a sane scientist that reverse-engineers Mad technology. This has resulted in him losing 2 fingers, a toe, and most of his body hair.

 * Sunglasses at Night

Penny Bright
A mad biologist and college student. Wide eyed innocent, soft hearted. Can be more dangerous than she looks. especially if she sees you mistreating an animal.

Creates tiny chimera creatures, usually has a few in her pockets. Has begun dating the white knight of the game, Sir Honor.

 * Genre Savvy: Taken to absurd lengths in that he knows he's being written and comments on it.

Dr.White
A Progressor scientist, suffers from OCD about the cleanliness of his labcoat.

Laughingman

Tropes associated with Dana Amino:
 * Pie in the Face: This is her shtick.
 * Escalating War: Invoked. Dropping a nuclear bomb on someone because they stole your look seems a bit like overkill (not that there's anything wrong with that). So get yourself humiliated by them so that you have a better reason to do so.

 * Distracted By the Shiny

Purple Knight
A tribble salesman.

Tropes associated with Purple Knight:

Damien Watson Lux
Effectively Axel's "keeper", he tries to prevent him from hurting or killing others or himself. He is the most reluctant of the three to participate in adventure, having been on the butt end of it too many times for him to count. This hasn't managed to entirely kill a sense of wanderlust, however.

Tropes associated with Damien Lux:
 * Heroic Neutral
 * Refusal of the Call: The call came over anyway.
 * Shock and Awe / Extra Ore Dinary
 * Living Weapon: This is the reason, along with Promoted to Scapegoat and Unwitting Pawn, that he got his powers.
 * Gods Need Prayer Badly: He's on the equivalent of a hunger strike. Whether this is responsible for decreasing mental stability is unknown.
 * Home, Sweet Home
 * House Husband: Not a husband, but as Sarah seems to mysteriously disappear when chores are looming, and asking Axel to do them is a bad idea, Damien generally does them all himself and has become surprisingly good at them.
 * Only Sane Man: Feels like this sometimes.
 * We Are Not Going Through That Again: The purpose of the List.

Sarah Sophia Mclaren
Damien's cousin. She stops Damien and Axel from killing each other. She's generally the most practical and pragmatic of the three. Seems to be somewhat of a Taoist.

Tropes associated with Sarah Mclaren:
 * Somebody Else's Problem: Sees a lot of things as this. However, she will intervene if asked or needed.
 * The Watcher
 * Stealth Hi Bye: takes this to almost ninja levels. Justified in that she has this as a superpower. People think it's Offscreen Teleportation.

Axel Nikolai Dodge
Damien and Sarah's roommate, and a minor Spark. Jumps into everything feet first. While he normally is a little bit odd, when trying to be friendly he starts to cross over into creepy. His personality... well, just read the tropes:

 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Berserk Button


 * Jerkass Woobie
 * Keet: Oh, very much yes.
 * Chaotic Neutral
 * Adult Child
 * Stop Helping Me!: Oddly, his helpful and spontaneously generous attitude is really the only thing keeping him from Chaotic Evil territory.

Kunda
The person responsible for dropping Axel, Damien and Sarah into this dimension. She'll come and pick them up in three weeks. She gave them an infinite credit card to have fun with while she's gone.
