The Grand Battle/Characters

The Director
The dude that started this Grand Battle. He doesn't seem to have any specific form, only appearing as a vaguely man-shaped cloud of smoke in a suit. He ordered eight Gentlemen to grab a guy and enter them into this thing.


 * Badass in a Nice Suit
 * Big Bad
 * The Faceless

Lutherion Maw
An insane necromancer who died in a fire but managed to come back as a zombie. He created the Wightmaw Arm which is basically a bunch of souls pressed down into the shape of a bunch of bone splinters which were then merged with his arm. He's also afraid of the color red.


 * Ax Crazy
 * Airborne Mook: Among his assorted highly disposable undead minions, Lutherion also has vultures.
 * Chaotic Evil
 * Complete Monster
 * Evil Sorcerer
 * Fashionable Asymmetry: The Wightmaw Arm.
 * The Sociopath

Alcarith
The daughter of a dragon lord. She fights using ethereal energy that doesn't particularly gives any noticeable damage unless she has channeled it long enough. She is a dragon but spent almost all of her time in human form.


 * Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons: A dragon who preferred to spend time in human form. Did very little draconic, until about three rounds after the original character had died.

Dorukomets
The ghost of a fallen warrior who did nothing special in life, really. Boastful and prideful despite having nothing to boast about.


 * Fake Ultimate Hero: He died trying to take credit for a kill. Never underestimate Lutherion.

Amethyst
A rather robotic woman who looks like a young teenager. She has a magitek armband.


 * Black Eyes of Evil: Averted.

Eximo Pulvis
An undead vacuum cleaner. Very much robotic and obsessed with the job of cleaning. Later, he learns to love.


 * Do-Anything Robot: Intended for war, he turned out to be better at cleaning. But he can still fight pretty well for a vacuum cleaner.
 * Just a Machine: Though Emily later gives him a soul causing him to Become a Real Boy.
 * Knife Nut
 * Lethal Joke Character: It's a demonic vacuum cleaner.
 * Multi-Armed and Dangerous

Nathan Finley
Just a regular kid. His father was a demon hunter who sealed demons into weapons. Nathan's weapon is one of those. In the middle of the battle, he made a deal with the demon in the knife and thus went insane.


 * Artifact of Doom: The kitchen knife his father trapped a powerful demon in.
 * Ax Crazy
 * Deal with the Devil
 * Demon Lords and Archdevils: The one living in his Artifact of Doom.
 * From Nobody to Nightmare

Emily Trenwye
An old cleric type person. She is pretty much racist against demons, though really, she does have good reason.


 * Religion Is Magic: Exorcism and healing all packed in a vaguely-christian package.

Aeon Ferrous
Another regular guy. He has a neat adaptive tool. Also a fast thinker.


 * Chaotic Neutral
 * Morph Weapon: His adaptive tool.

The Observer
Pretty much copied The Director in an attempt to out-do him. Is pretty average except his face only has one eye on it. That's it. He's a mouthless cyclops (but can still talk somehow). He selected his own contestants. Rather eccentric and likes saying things with an exclamation point at the end! Because of boredom and because he was suggested to do so, he started up Season Two.


 * Embarrassing Nickname: This guy loves dishing them out.

Galus Lee Matthews
Part human part alien (Urisian to be exact). The only things that give away his alien heritage are his orange eyes. Traveled around a lot in space.

Samuel Therion
A 'Karmist,' that is, he can sense and manipulate one's karma by use of a certain channel; in his case, death. Samuel can kill something and use the energy in the 'potential life' to do some cool stuff. He's kind of a bastard.


 * Aura Vision - It gives him Laser-Guided Karma. Oddly enough, not the kind outlined with that trope.
 * Blond Guys Are Evil
 * Chaotic Evil
 * Classic Villain
 * Diabolical Mastermind: Before he was thrown into GBII.
 * Driven to Villainy
 * Evil Sorcerer
 * Man of Wealth and Taste
 * Smug Snake

Maxwell Deakin
Possibly the most normal contestant. He's a bit of an eccentric and very smart. Every round, he pretty much sits and overthinks things and babbles a lot. He has a rapier but has never really used it. Somehow, he's still survived.


 * Unfazed Everyman
 * He's thrust into a battle to the death involving a sentient pile of boxes, a space marine, and a being from the edge of the universe, to name a few. His highest priority?

Professor Armidillo Reccxer
Also eccentric and rather cheerful. He made the Cane of Materialistic Improbability, which allows him to change the mass and composition of any object, including himself. Even when forced to battle for his life, he continuously wrote in his journal. How does he find time to do that?


 * Absent-Minded Professor

Gestalt
A Schrotgolem. Basically, it's a spirit that possesses a lot of junk. It looks like a bunch of boxes that just move around on their own.


 * Ax Crazy: Or at least, seems to be. At first.
 * Combat Pragmatist: Shown most effectively in its scuffle with Samuel in the Labyrinth Field.
 * Determinator: More noticeably (and callously) as the battle reaches its climax.

Cabaret
A magician who can materialize almost anything except weapons because of his mask. He's quite the coward.

Vyrm'n
A being made out of what looks like part of the night sky. Was intended to be genderless but somehow came out a 'she'.


 * Ax Crazy
 * Chaotic Neutral
 * Heroic Safe Mode
 * Punny Name
 * Starfish Aliens

The Sunset
A worn-out suit of power armor. A 'Balancer,' he was one of many who made sure that nobody gained enough power to overthrow order. He had a limited power source.


 * No Indoor Voice : ALWAYS TALKS IN A BOOMING SHADE OF BYZANTIUM.

The Composer
An imposing woman with grey skin and white eyes. She wears a nice blue kimono and is quite the control freak. She takes grand battles very very seriously. Because she thought having The Eccentric run The Delicious Engagement was a travesty and spat on the honor of grand battles, she took over and renamed it Battle Royal Season Two.


 * Ice Queen: And probably a Jerkass to boot.
 * Lady of War
 * Prophet Eyes

Xeno Photon
Apparently a samurai from Feudal Japan who rose to the position of Daimyo. He wields a soul saber and a kitsune mask. The Soul Saber can only be wielded by one who is pure neutral and sucks the soul right out of anybody it cuts who is also pure neutral. The more inclined towards good or evil a person is, the more hits to the soul they take. The kitsune mask is of the kitsune god and he is unable to take it off or he'll turn into a kitsune or something. He was put into a deep sleep by one of his enemies and awoke in a futuristic society and became a high-ranking general of a space station somehow.


 * Gratuitous Japanese: Dude was a semi-immortal samurai who got his curse in feudal Japan, which turns him into a kitsune. Or something.
 * True Neutral: ...Apparently.

Cobra
A 'Fang layonin,' a species that can transform into wolves. He can turn into a half or a full wolf. He can channel his energy into weapons to strengthen or lengthen them. He was a war hero.

Gadget Solune
A 'Chib,' which are essentially really small people. He also has a cybernetic eye and arm. Gadget has the power to give anything a soul. He's a rather nice guy with a robot buddy.


 * Neutral Good
 * Robot Buddy: Whir. And various other ones who got decimated in the carnage.

Mike Shaun
A rather insane dude with a sort of psychokinesis. He has these sort of invisible arms coming out of his back (vectors) that are incredibly strong.


 * Ax Crazy

Zeke
A ninja. He was an orphan.


 * Ninja

Grimm
An 'Eclipse,' a race of shadow people that wear masks to differentiate among themselves. He fights using shadows. He used to be a bodyguard.

Itzal Argi
A rather mysterious bloke who is always wearing a red cloak. Nobody knows what he is or if he even is a 'he'. He used to be a popular magician, his specialty being illusions. He can also shapeshift.


 * Black Cloak: Ok, it's red, but close enough.

Whit O'Donal
An extremely lucky guy. He has a gun given to him by his Creator.


 * Born Lucky
 * Neutral Evil

The Organizer
An incredibly plain man. He tends to take on the appearance of those around him, though with a lilac motif. He mentions being older than at least most of the other Grandmasters.


 * Invincible Villain: Common to all Grandmasters, but especially so with this guy.

Hatman
A superhero with a hat-related motif (and you thought spiders and bats were ridiculous). He was adopted by a rich family but ran away when his adopted family and his real family started fighting and became HATMAN! He has the ability of hammerspace and is British. He has a verbal tic, mate, but oddly enough, it didn't really materialize in the battle.


 * Morph Weapon: He found one in the ruins of a cottage in the middle of a haunted forest (somehow). It could turn from a gun into a sword seemingly quite randomly and for some reason bats flew out of it. It ended up killing him.

Jordan Smith
A coward and a pyrokinetic, which are two words that don't seem to go together, but there you have it. Doesn't have any friends and was bullied a bit in school until he accidentally set one of them on fire.


 * Playing with Fire

Eemp, Right, and Rong
Eemp is around three feet in height and is a straw doll. Its arms are two dragons, Right and Rong. The right arm is Right. The left arm is Rong. Right is a red Chinese dragon who is the smarter of the trio (though that's not saying much). He likes pondering more than fighting but is rather cunning and often does some scheming. Sometimes he makes stupid puns. Rong is a blue European dragon who is very fond of burning things. She tends to flip out and shout. Eemp doesn't do anything besides walk because he is only a straw doll. The trio was a result of a kingdom's wizard and they were immediately employed as a war machine.


 * Beast of Battle: Were intended to be this. The dragons rather resent it.
 * Chaotic Neutral
 * Flight, Strength, Heart: Right has the ability to control water, shapeshift, the ability to make it rain, and...can glow in the dark.

Annabell
A Violet rank clone and devoted follower of Friend Computer! She has telekinesis (that she never actually used). She's extremely, worryingly, insufferably happy.


 * Cloning Gambit: Considering she's a Paranoia character, this actually worked. Until her transportalizer broke.

Alex Corendal
A knight who has an elemental sword that is quite complex.


 * Chaotic Good

Cpt. Vasily Rurikovich
A pirate who is charismatic and quite a good speaker. He has a nice accent.


 * Pirate

A Nameless Manikin
A human-sized wooden mannequin. It can grow mouths on any part of its body to eat things so that it can thus turn into these things. It usually doesn't have eyes and sees 'life' instead.


 * Extreme Omnivore: From trees to mutated rabbit flesh to glass to the psychological representation of Joe Peacock...

Lainey
A girl that actually holds four people inside her: Lainey, Yume, Niko and Lissa. Each has their own personality.


 * Split Personality: A four-way split.

The Monitor
Is actually a very advanced robot. As many robots do, he relies more on numbers, data, and careful thought. He is of the opinion that every other Grandmaster is careless with their contestants. Started Intense Struggle Season Two to gather more data.


 * Invincible Villain

Larus Mutabilis
A grey-skinned guy who could turn to smoke.


 * Driven to Villainy
 * Fallen Hero

Aegis Cupris
A guy from the same canon as Aeon who has transforming gauntlets. He's rather boisterous and loud and very strong.


 * Chaotic Neutral
 * Morph Weapon: His gauntlets shapeshift.

Sister Clara Jungfrau
An undead cleric. She is a Necropolitan, meaning she willingly went through a ritual to become undead. She has a variety of spells at hand. She's also pretty nice.


 * Badass Preacher: For given values of Badass.
 * Celibate Hero: It comes with the wimple.
 * The Chosen One
 * Crystal Dragon Jesus
 * Neutral Good
 * Oh My Gods: Her epithet on entering the room with the mana device (Round 3).
 * Religion Is Magic: Most of Sister Clara's actual powers are a direct result of worshipping her god.

B
An experiment whose whole life was a secret laboratory. He had the ability to shapeshift into any animal. He also has a knife that shapeshifts with him into something. It depends on what form he takes. He's rather shy.


 * Animorphism
 * Morph Weapon: His knife can change form with him.

D'Neya
A Twilight Sprite. She looks like a little girl.

A man-made nymph that was made to unconditionally love whoever she laid eyes on. She's a little crazy.


 * Failure Knight: And then some. And then not so much.
 * Love At First Sight
 * Love Makes You Crazy: For the first few rounds, Aph fell in love with almost anybody she set eyes on. She was rather...over-protective.
 * Magical Girlfriend: The guy who created her didn't know what he was getting himself into.
 * Villain Corner
 * Yandere

The Executive
Because of the many grand battles going on, he created this one to have an excuse not to constantly catch up with the others and promptly put the responsibility of running a battle on two subordinates, Sruix and Talis.


 * Invincible Villain

Wolf
A wolf. That can talk.


 * Talking Animal

Vexmagog
Actually two chaos gods from different universes accidentally merged; Vex and Magog. Magog takes form as one arm and tends to make whoever touches him go crazy. Vex is a pretty nice guy and rather clever. He has to be nice if he doesn't want Magog to destroy everything everywhere.


 * Chaotic Evil - or Magog is, anyway.
 * Fashionable Asymmetry
 * Love Goddess: His longtime rival is a very singleminded god of love and order.

Sen
A plant thing. He caries seven pods of World Trees or something and desires to plant them. The World Trees tend to grow quite big.


 * Chaotic Neutral
 * Fluffy the Terrible: "Who bothers to name something like you?!"
 * Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke
 * Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds
 * Organic Technology
 * Outside Context Villain: But not as implacable. He just plants trees, but they cause an unbelievable load of trouble.

 * Lightning Can Do Anything: Blitz can use his powers on electronic devices, speed up his reflexes, shoot it out his palms... all sorts.
 * Fashionable Asymmetry
 * Mismatched Eyes
 * Psycho Electro: Although really, Blitz himself ain't so psychotic (though the constant twitching may suggest otherwise). It's mostly his father's fault.
 * Shock and Awe

John Swift
A humanoid. The only real non-human thing about him is that he has no fingers. He does stuff with ice.

A survivor of a Zombie Apocalypse.

A special agent or something I dunno. He has a special invisible ATM machine that dispenses coins that pretty much defies the laws of physics.

Asteira
A ghost girl or something I dunno.


 * Neutral Evil

The Cultivator
Messy, disorganized and spacey. The Cultivator searched tediously for all her contestants. She is well-known for having an interest in pretty much everything and being at least somewhat knowledgeable in a variety of topics. She's also well-known behind her back as The Dabbler as nothing has managed to keep her attention for very long. She has had many, many names in the past and her own little pocket universe contains the detritus of her previous interests, or possibly just some junk she keeps for whatever reason.


 * Beware the Nice Ones
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Unkempt Beauty

Calm
A guy who made a deal with the devil. He has this knife that's super hot. Which is a little of an understatement I guess.

 * Complete Monster
 * Eldritch Abomination
 * Lawful Evil: Before his conquering days.

A shapeshifter or something I dunno

Kracht
He's a guy made out of a tough mineral that has been through this battle hundreds of times before and is very assured that he will win.


 * Invincible Villain
 * Neutral Evil
 * The Chessmaster - despite the obvious connotations Xadrez has going, Kracht is the one who has a better idea of all the schemes in motion.

Maxwell and Sikarius
A dead guy and his parasite. Sik can sort of force him to sort of shapeshift.


 * Chaotic Evil
 * Type PS Zombie
 * Puppeteer Parasite: Sikarius can rapidly mutate Maxwell's body into weaponized bone.
 * Shapeshifter Weapon

The Ovoid
A part of a fourth dimensional being. It is inscrutable as it is ovoid.

 * Private Detective
 * Rubber Forehead Alien: His forehead is normal, but he's basically a grey human with larger-than-normal eyes and no hair or fingernails.

Jeremy Brackett
A guy who can make doors lead to another door, no matter if it's locked or something.


 * Portal Network: Jeremy's power gives him access to something like this. Essentially, he can make any sort of door turn into a Cool Gate.

Photographer
A black humanoid thing that is very squishy and considers himself a 'thing' rather than a person. He talks to inanimate objects. When he falls asleep, his dream leaks into the real world.

 * New Meat: Not intended from the start, but when his writer took over the running of this Battle, he sure died like one.
 * Intangible Man

Algernon
A guy who lived in a post-apocalyptic world brought about by space worms. He has one on his head that lets him materialize whatever he can think of but it eats his memories in return. Because of his sister, he tries not to use it so much.


 * Disaster Scavengers: Algernon displays a serious packrat personality in Round 1. Considering that Round 2 is a museum filled to the brim with torture devices and pain and suffering, it's understandable that he hasn't picked up anything since.
 * However, he doesn't hesitate to pick up the junk that Pluck materializes for him.
 * Equivalent Exchange: Algernon's parasitic head-worm can summon anything he wants, but in exchange he has to discard his own memories.

Pluck
A werewolf who can make whatever what someone's thinking of real. He can't see what they're thinking of though, so it's sort of a crapshoot sometimes. He has his own ideas what 'good' is.


 * Our Werewolves Are Different: This werewolf is only human on the full moon and acts basically like a normal guy. But with fur.

An immortal knight who used to be part of the Round Table. In the present, he became a cop. Right now, he's probably wishing he were dead.

 * The Worm That Walks: Thatix is made up of a lot of fireflies.

The Redeemer

 * But he had to earn it first.
 * Invincible Villain

A man who, because of an experimental medical treatment, randomly jumps forward or backward in time whenever his heart rate goes up.


 * Unstuck in Time

The Executor

 * A God Am I
 * Big Bad
 * Light Is Not Good

Cole Aran
A scientist that boasted human's obvious superiority over insects. Anansi took offense and made it so that without bugs, he wouldn't even be able to walk.


 * The Worm That Walks

"Amy"
A mysterious girl of mysterious mysteriousness. Amy may or may not be her real name.


 * Enfante Terrible

Phil Girnham
Space marine dude.

Ur
A dead goddess, sort of. She created a world and then destroyed it. Her followers haunt her.

The Fool
Used to be one of the Gentlemen in the original Grand Battle. He did it because he was totally bored. Which, oddly enough, seems to be a common reason with making these things.

Dr. Tengeri Nyoka
A Leviath who is also a scientist who is also a cyborg. She has some sort of telekinesis thing going on that allows her to carry around a bubble of water with her always so that she won't, oh you know, die or something.


 * Artificial Limbs: Sort of.
 * Cyborg
 * Electronic Eyes: Her three right eyes.

 * Magitek: At the very least her Telekinetic Enhancement Module.
 * Making a Splash
 * Microts: "Cycle" instead of year.

 * Standard Time Units: Used by the NSC.
 * Starfish Aliens
 * The Federation: The Neramis Science Coalition is essentially this.
 * X-Ray Vision: Not yet used, however.

Murdoch Miles
A Varalica, which here, translates to a glowy human thing. Used to be a (human) magician, with the slight-of-hand and all, but wanted more power and got it from the Broken Lady. All he had to do was kill loads of people, which he now regrets.


 * Power Glows

Benjamin Jetsam
'Jetsam' sort of describes him well. Sort of. A being that doesn't really have a form any longer and is kept alive by some guy or something. This guy also forces him to randomly teleport to a bunch of different universes and worlds and crap. He really has been stripped to his essence and only takes form as whatever happens to live there, being made up of whatever happens to be nearby.


 * Involuntary Shapeshifting

Tor Kajan
A Telpori-Hal, which is a humanoid (usually) alien that is quite like a phoenix. Meaning that every once in a while he combusts and comes out of the fire a new person. He doesn't exactly like humans.

Saint Scofflaw
An eeeeeeevil genius intent on TAKING OVER THE WORLD! He claims to hear law as music and is so disillusioned with the current law that he aims to compose an entirely new one. One that sounds good.


 * Card-Carrying Villain
 * Evil Is Hammy
 * Take Over the World: Naturally.

Kerak
A Deinonychus (this species is actually real though it is doubtful that dinosaurs can actually talk) shaman. He's feathery and stuff.


 * Everything's Better with Dinosaurs
 * Just Eat Him: Seems rather eager to do this.

Velobo Calidad (aka 2106062)
A Plazmuth. He's a green cube thing genetically engineered for the entertainment of others. He's supposed to go out in a death arena and die in some entertaining way, but instead he came out intelligent and managed to put a stop to all this death course nonsense. For at least a few seconds.

TinTen Naamxe and Huebert Henderson
An odd coupling of a beefy, strong human and a fragile, smarter, squid thing. (Meipi, to be specific.) One makes weapons, the other uses them in a possibly destructive way. Together, they are actually two people, though they just count as one contestant.


 * Brains and Brawn: Tin Ten's the brains, Huebert the brawn.
 * Dumb Muscle: Cheerfully subverted by Huebert himself, who occasionally jokes about his own modest intellect.
 * Genius Bruiser:If taken as a gestalt entity (not to be confused with a Gestalt entity)
 * Great White Hunter: Huebert spent most of his life doing this, and Tin Ten dabbles (being more of a Pretty Good Salmon Hunter)
 * Homeless Hero: The pair spend several years previous to their entry into the battle flying through space, fighting an evil duchess.
 * The Gunslinger: Both of the Vaporizer variety. Huebert's favorite BFG in particular.
 * Neutral Good: Well, Huebert is. Tin Ten's more Lawful Good.
 * Science Hero: And an Action Hero too.
 * World's Strongest Man: Huebert lives in a time where cybernetics and genetic engineering are common, spent most of his life living in the wild, and has a super-genius scientist from the most technologically-advanced planet in the sector for a best friend. Dude's got guns.

The Counselor
A Grandmaster chick who thinks that Grand Battles will help contestants get over their issues. This is insane and stupid.

Crepitans Bloodbark
A large walking tree with spikes and who is also a dark magician shaman sort of thing. His problem is that he is uppity and has a superiority complex or something.

Chaotic Evil: Like you wouldn't believe. The Cynic: An especially brutal take on the archetype

Norman Randall Pollet
Religious dude who has family issues. His brother's ghost may or may not be haunting him.

Tria
A sort of cyborg person woman who got run over by a train? Some mad scientist dude fixed her up and then some and I can't think of anything funny here.

Brooklyn Taylor
GHOST POSSESSING ROCKET-POWERED SCUM-HUNTING CHAINSAW. NOT JOKING.
 * Death by Origin Story - the character was originally a Town Inventor from a game of Mafia, who was killed in the epilogue. But came back for petty revenge.
 * Self-Constructed Being - subverted, seeing as she made her rocket-propelled chainsaw without the original intention of being stuck in it as a ghost.
 * Mind Over Matter - she can grab metal to augment her chainsaw chassis. And operate a blowtorch.
 * Jet Pack
 * Ghostly Goals - a type A spectre.
 * Absent-Minded Professor - or possibly a full-on Mad Scientist.

Red
A lobster in a MECH SUIT THAT IS RED. THAT'S HIS NAME.

Nemaeus
Big strong tough guy raawr. He has this strong wolf skin pelt thing that is impenetrable perhaps. He possibly hypnotizes people with his manly charms.

Blazaard
A-A-R-D-V-A-R-K. With light-based powers. At its strongest it does that thing like what happens in that Indiana Jones movie that I never watched Ark of the Covenant, I think?

The Tormentor
A big meanie.
 * For the Evulz

 * Dark Is Evil
 * Evil Laugh
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning
 * Sinister Geometry. Getting the point, sunshine?

Gannet
This diseased guy, part of some weird bacteria colony called the Oracle. He's a scout. But also infected. Also happy. But doesn't like doctors.
 * Viral Transformation
 * Mad Oracle: Works for one.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Try to read a scene from his perspective without getting confused. Go on.

Samael Corson
Demon who is forced into human form. Because of some other demon's mistake, he has to reincarnate over and over. He may or may not follow Hinduism. Or Buddhism. Also, he has fruit powers. Also powers that are supposed to be related to Greed but not really.

Vulm'mram'Vuul
Big bad alien with a possible inferiority complex. Follows some weird caste system where the most important and powerful one in society is considered God-Emperor. So many weapons. So much religion.

Dorin, Shik'skara, and guests
A sacrifice sort of gone wrong because it was interrupted. Dorin has some guardian thing and also is now a doorway for gods and stuff. This may be painful.

Lieutenant Matthew Zimmer
Magical lucky alchemist soldier guy?

Martin Holden
Android dude with memory issues. Has penguins on his boxers.

Ke
Big spider storyteller thing. All about remembering stories. But is also a spider, which is scary.

The Charlatan
Is he smiling behind his mask? I dunno. It makes him look so friendly. He's apparently not that good at being nosy.

The Broderburgs
A family in an RV. They have a baby. Family drama will probably ensue during a battle to the death. "Dad, you don't understand, I love him!"

John Smith
Is that his real name? Nobody knows! Probably not. What kind of name is John Smith? Highly suspect. His power is exploding or something. He doesn't want to.

Yanis Carnea
A goddess of doorknobs and locks. She's very creative with her domain. Also, long-ass fingernails. This is highly important.


 * Heart Is an Awesome Power - She makes it a point to stretch her control over doors and locks as far as she can manage.
 * Physical Goddess

Gamehost 6
Gamehost. Six doesn't refer to the number of gamehosts there's been. Maybe not, anyways. It's his head. His head is six. Sided. Dice. He's a robot with a dice-head. Six. Six-sided. That's what he is.

Parsley Krose
A demon-hunter who attacks with bread by turning things into bread and thinks he's on some sort of hallucinogen or demon-high or something. Demons.

Nancy Little
A 20s police secretary. Flappers? Flappers are cool. She's not a flapper. She's very lucky. She has a typewriter. This is extremely important.


 * Born Lucky

Envoy
A robot who serves as an envoy because that's his name. The council orders him around and thinks he should do this. No, he should do this. Well come on guys, he can't do both things. Agree or something.

Ashley Hayden
Ashley is not a boy's name. Good thing he's half-girl. Part-girl? Mentally-partly-girl. He's both genders, okay.


 * Gender Bender

A powerful genie. Not exactly "all there".
 * Djinn

Gabe Farrell
Used to work as a janitor for a research facility, but in an accident ended up contaminated with a chemical that allows him to turn his hand into any power tool.

 * Robo Ship: with Etiyr. It's weird.

"Lucky" VII
A planet-sized spaceship designed to escape the Big Crunch. Contains one-tenth of its home universe. Has been shrunk down to the size of a beach ball for fairness.

Cailean Lachlan/Gaurinn
Cailean is a soldier "blessed" by the Goddess of Mercy, meaning that any pain he inflicts on someone else goes right back to him. Gaurinn is a bio-engineered Not Quite A Centipede who can store and release electricity at will, but is pretty fragile. They fight crime are sewn together by The Tormentor. Later Cailean becomes a time-challenged zombie, or something. He's much happier about this than you'd think.
 * Blessed with Suck - Oh, Cailean.
 * Body Horror: Cail's arm and spine get ripped out and replaced with a giant sentient insect, who didn't exactly enjoy the process either. They're coping with it remarkably well. Once Cailean gets zombified this becomes an all-over thing.
 * Deadpan Snarker - Gaurinn
 * Only Sane Man - Gaurinn often seems to play this role.
 * Shock and Awe - Gaurinn

Elimine Fraze
A trombone player/adventurer with psychic powers and a cat made of shadows.

Quantos Xodarap
A time-traveling cyborg guy.
 * Sdrawkcab Name - It's
 * Cyborg
 * Time Travel
 * The Messiah: Retconned, subverted, toyed with, overdone. These days it's best not to mention him.

 * Desperately Looking for a Purpose In Life
 * Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny

The Convolution
A collection of ideas that influence cultural patterns, which take the form of a purple badge thing.
 * You Cannot Kill an Idea: Or at least, it'll certainly be hard.
 * Ho Yay: Seems inordinately fond of forcing this on other people. Case in point: Bethany and Restless-She. Restless-She is a monkey.
 * Even the Guys Want Him

Etiyr
A demon sealed in a typewriter, who communicates by... typing. The longer someone spends near him, the more they fall under his thrall.
 * Jerkass Woobie
 * Sealed Evil in a Can

The Spectator
An extradimensional artiste with a penchant for Body Horror; her canvas is the flesh, and (rather more literally), her tower is eyeballs. She started her battle so it could serve as her muse. Has a nebulous but friendly relationship with the Tormentor and a sassy one with her assistant.


 * Nightmare Fetishist: Wants everything to be beautiful. Has a questionable definition of "beautiful".
 * Eyes Do Not Belong There: Yep.
 * Shapeshifting: Let's just say she's indecisive.
 * Morphic Resonance: All of her forms involve the color red. It's yet to be seen if this is voluntary or not.

Sir Cedric, son of Sigmund
Sir Cedric is the Grand-Battle-Specific trope of the Bearded Swordsman, played totally straight and self-aware. He is a big, buff Norseman with a flaming sword and a bit of a complex from living so long in the shadow of his father. Could probably seduce your pants off.


 * Oedipus Complex: Without all the Unfortunate Implications. You know... Probably.
 * Blade of Fearsome Size: Sometimes, a sword is just a Sigrar.
 * Lawful Good: He aims for this. Maybe.
 * Knight in Shining Armor

Merrifield
Merrifield is a genetic abomination arising from some questionable organ-cloning practices. She can control her own body, and anyone else's, with unnatural precision. Will probably end up forcing everyone around her to give birth and/or spontaneously combust.
 * Body Horror

Dr. Melissa Harmon
A hard-nosed career scientist whose work with alternate dimensions was reaching fruition just as she was stolen away to fight a bunch of other people from alternate dimensions. Won "Most Likely to Have a Thematically Appropriate Escape Attempt GBs 2011".

Klendel
A shadowy being with a large gear protruding from his back. Klendel is manipulative, anarchistic, and likes long walks on the beach after a hard day of collapsing mighty empires. Was never known as Pickbot. Ever.

Ivan Norst
Ivan is a hybrid of the human and Autian species; he has powerful tremorsense but poor vision, and is whip-smart both strategically and mathematically. Can control magnetic fields a bit.

Nalzaki
Nalzaki is actually Razaran, Nalyg, and Kanpeki, three dragonlike creatures who were fused together to rule their world as the Ninth Kryesan. They can shapeshift their limbs with high precision and possess a bit of telepathy. A real one-character argument.


 * Authority Equals Asskicking: The Kryesan of Typhra is a huge, shapeshifting, very hard-to-kill hydra.
 * Biological Mashup
 * Large and In Charge: Being an amalgamation of three members of the species tends to make them larger than pretty much everyone else in their species.
 * Multi-Armed and Dangerous: They can create any amount of limbs as needed.
 * Multiple Head Case: A mild case, but still present at times.
 * Psychic Block Defense: They have an extremely strong defense against telepathy.
 * Psychic Link: All three communicate almost entirely via thought.
 * Telepathy: To a limited degree.
 * Voluntary Shapeshifting

Cascala bint Ondun al-Bellizhi
Cascala is nearly unique among battlers in that she had advance knowledge of the Grand Battle she was entered in before it happened; the magical empire of Bellizhi was warned in a vision that one of their own would be in such a battle, and it spent Cascala's whole life preparing her for it. She is a powerful water mage who specializes in weather manipulation. Takes things very seriously.


 * Ice Queen: With real potential to become a more literal one.
 * Lawful Neutral
 * Making a Splash
 * Messianic Archetype: Surprising, considering her first act in the battle was to drown a man in his friend's blood, but Cascala is simply doing what has to be done to save her people.
 * Person of Mass Destruction: There's a reason a woman who was groomed to be the ultimate magical weapon chose something as innocuous-sounding as "weather" as her primary study. It makes sense when you stop thinking "partly cloudy" and start thinking "hurricane".

Empress Phere
A paranoid monarch with a literally all-seeing eye, Phere is a competent wizard and a ruthless despot. She uses her Hollow eye to spy on who- and whatever she pleases. Not very polite.

Barabbas Poe
Not the Grandmaster of this battle, per se, he's still its guiding force; he's some kind of immortal human or something, and he uses The Wordsmith's writings to lead him to the calamitous event to come. He's very mysterious and knowledgeable and et-cetera. Could probably be called stodgy.

The Unborn
The actual Grandmaster of this battle, The Unborn seems to have been unknowingly created by the collective meddling and carelessness of the other Grandmasters. Since it was born of the ritual of Grand Battling, that's what it intends to do. Apparently the way its battle goes will have Dire Consequences™ for the multiverse.

Nempelio Poran kala-Sun
Nempelio is a mouse and also a bard. And also he can fly. Pretty typical "boasting false hero" backstory and personality. He can make illusions and has a tiny harp!

Vera Hawthorne (and Alice Mason too)
Vera (and Alice) come from a race that can read fate. They were fated to be enemies, and Alice was to die at Vera's hand. When Vera got abducted into this battle, fate got pissed off and sent Alice too. Vera has pretty competent combat abilities; Alice is lame and sucks.

Olivia Reindana
Olivia was a scientist on an expedition to the Amazon; she ended up parasitized by a semi-sentient plant, and has been gradually going crazy and gaining superpowers.

Fiorella Gucci
Fiorella is the current Anthropomorphic Personification of Human High Fashion. She is very catty and fashionable, and she is way prettier than you.

Malus mancinella
M. mancinella (or Emmy-M as it goes by when spinning) is a very confused young nature spirit inhabiting an acidic apple tree. It usually takes the shape of a woody panther and has fruitikinesis.

Alluvion
Alluvion is the spirit of a small river, brought into existence by the collective belief of the marine life that inhabited said river. It has some water powers and is rather uncultured.

Adelaide Margaret Sheats
Adelaide is a rusalka, which is like a freaky zombie but soggier. She can teleport between water sources and likes to eat people.
 * I'm a Humanitarian

Taelia Omanguard and The Omen
Taelia is a young woman, trained to fight but inexperienced in actual combat. She was supposed to guard the prison of an ineffable evil called The Omen, but was tricked and The Omen is now contained in her.

The Apprentice
Grandmaster of the battle and apprentice of the Controller. Kinda smug and self-assured. Possibly not really that competent.

Augustus and Azungrada
One is a pirate-priest, one is a snake with a name that sounds like cheese. Together they fight heathen crime!

Cepra Samedi
A spider woman with a purple hand that can turn people into silver and also she's an assassin or something

Cthaasa
Giant leech scientist WITH A PASSION FOR SCIENCE.

Encyclopedia
IT'S A BOOK. You read it. It doesn't run on electricity because it's a book, jackass. Also there's a person inside it.

Mr. Saturday
Some guy who's dead and something about the Wild West, maybe, like that one time in Back to the Future III.

Parliament
A type of government that is run by birds and they don't decide on anything also the politicians are all crooks and not politicians at all.

Pope Triumphian
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE

Redclaw
A werewolf or something.

The Viscount
Not an actual character.

Shirley Blackwing
The Director's daughter, and the one for whose affection everyone was to compete for. The fact that she's an anthropomorphic fruit bat has not turned off anybody.


 * The Cameo: A number of other Grand Battle spinoffs have taken place in her home of Blackwing Manor at the same time, so this is pretty much inevitable.
 * Katanas Are Just Better: Her weapon of choice is a stainless-steel katana named Silverbolt.
 * Only Sane Man: She seems to be the only person aware of how utterly ridiculous the typical Grand Whatever lineup is.
 * Weaksauce Weakness: According to her official bio (open "The Girl"), she's allergic to flower pollen, lactose-intolerant, and afflicted with Super Drowning Skills; however, none of these have been used against her... yet.

Lethe Avibus

 * The Generic Guy: So much that nobody would recognize her even if she stole from them.

Marsha Milligan

 * Escaped from Area 51.

Dr. Lucifer Merikh

 * Chaotic Evil
 * Complete Monster
 * Deadly Doctor
 * Driven to Madness: Became an insane murderer after his family's death.
 * I'm a Doctor, Not a Placeholder: Said by the Mechanic during Merikh's introduction.

 * Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate
 * Noodle Incident: According to his backstory, he killed someone through podiatry.
 * Obfuscating Sanity
 * Omnicidal Maniac
 * This Is a Drill: A dentist's drill, no less.

Joseph Radd

Selvsetter

 * Funetik Aksent almost to the point of being incomprehensible.
 * Trapped in TV Land or "glitch fuckin' city".

Alex Starr

 * Our Angels Are Different: Alex killed a member of a cult with supernatural powers called Angels, which gave him his power.
 * Bishonen: He's described as a boy band member, and he's... well... an angel.

Sandolio
A member of a mexican order of Mages who specialize in sealing animal souls into their bodies. He's very lazy, to the point of almost napping in the middle of the Grand Brawl.
 * One-Winged Angel: He has the ability to fuse every one of his wolf souls into his body, making him a wolfman of great power. This, however, has a very short time period in which it can be used, due to it being so power-consuming.
 * Our Werewolves Are Different: Again, his full fusion form.
 * Revolvers Are Just Better: His preferred weapon for his wolf souls.
 * Gratuitous Spanish: All of his attack moves are named in (poorly translated) Spanish.
 * Brilliant but Lazy: Loves his naps, but he's also fairly smart and prepared - he grabs a fire extinguisher early on to combat fire-users.
 * Badass Long Hair: Lovely, curly, black hair.

Samuel

 * What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: In a game where supernatural powers and being ultra-powerful beings is the norm, Samuel's... a snake with a cool top hat.
 * Hammerspace: His hat acts like this, which is his only 'odd' power.
 * Jerkass: Pretty much, or at least his description says so. He may evolve later on.
 * Nice Hat: His lovely top hat.
 * Badass Normal: No real powers beyond his hat and being a snake. And yet he was judged powerful enough to join the Grand Brawl by his Gentleman.

Theda

 * Ax Crazy: He's now programmed for destruction.
 * A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Subverted. He was reprogrammed.

Quinn Fierhart

 * Mummy: Originally, he was this, and still is, but got rid of the majority of the bandages.
 * The Undead: One of the nicer members.
 * Brilliant but Lazy: Not to the extent of Sandolio's inherent laziness, but he's rather sleepy. Still, he has a pretty good analytical mind, and is far more cautious and thoughtful than people like Dagg.
 * Really Seven Hundred Years Old: He's much older than sixteen.
 * Whip It Good: Can use bandages as whips.

Dagg

 * Dark Is Not Evil: Played straight. He uses darkness and has a dark theme, but he's not evil, even if a bit vicious.
 * Leeroy Jenkins: He's not one for strategy. Not at all.
 * Honor Before Reason: He refuses Sandolio's offer of alliance because of the wolf souls sealed in him.

Katherine Luna

 * Our Vampires Are Different: Well, she's a vampire that fights with a sword and looks like a seven-year-old girl.
 * Little Miss Badass: She isn't exactly a little girl, but she is rather young-looking.
 * Really Seven Hundred Years Old: She's about 500–600 years old, despite her appearance.
