Line 8:
== Robert Macmillan ==
=== Dimension Police ===
[[The Hero]] of Blue Hour, a rookie player whose loss to Samuel starts him on his journey to the Nationals. Notably the most reckless of the team, Robert also lacks confidence in his abilities, most often when he loses. However, he possesses natural talent at Vanguard, allowing him to fight effectively even against vastly more experienced players.
=== Tropes: ===
* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]: Because his strategy revolves around giving Power to the Vanguard, often his plans can be easily undone by Perfect Guard Units, as Joel demonstrates.
* [[The Hero]]
* [[Time to Unlock More True Potential]]: His deck's theme is giving Power to the Vanguard to unlock extra abilities, such as extra Criticals.
* [[Naive Newcomer]]: [[Averted Trope|Averted]]. Though Robert is a relative newbie, he knows the rules of the game well enough from the start.
* [[Only in It For the Money]]: Played with. Although Robert's aim is to get money, not only does he want it for his mother, not himself, it's not his only reason to compete as part of Team Avalon.
Line 20:
=== Shadow Paladin ===
[[The Lancer]] and [[The Rival]], Samuel is a skilled player who is hinted to have come from very high up in Vanguard's competitive scene. He holds the philosophy that to achieve your aims, you have to make sacrifices, which carries into his Shadow Paladin deck. As the most skilled player of Team Avalon, Samuel is admired or hated by most of the cast, but under the surface he has his own issues relating to his past.
=== Tropes: ===
Line 40:
=== Tropes: ===
* [[The Beast Master]]: A major theme of her revamped deck is Chimeras, while her boss card in this deck is Golden Beast Tamer.
* [[Big Brother Mentor|Big Sister Mentor]]: To Robert.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Uses Pale Moon, but is heroic.
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Blue Screen of Death]]: After losing to Edward and coming to believe her deck isn't up to scratch enough to fight Gabriel, this drives her to run away from the fight altogether.}}
* [[Hero Worshipper]]: Of Gabriel, albeit a serious example. {{spoiler|Taken into [[Deconstruction]] territory when her idealized image of the past Gabriel is brought into conflict with a harsher present Gabriel.}}
* [[Mentor Ship]]: Admittedly one-sided, but her devotion to Gabriel has very ship-y implications.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Agatha's name is slightly similar to [[Cardfight Vanguard|Asaka]] and both not only run the same Clan, but both have blue hair.
* [[The Resenter]]: She has issues with Samuel, particularly how he effectively walks into the shop and immediately takes her spot as the best player.
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: The only female main character.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Leads to a [[Mythology Gag]].
== Charles Bannerman ==
=== Oracle Think Tank ===
The fourth member of Team Avalon, most notable for appearing later than the original three, who all debuted in the first chapter. Charles is eccentric, [[Informed Ability|somewhat]] [[Large Ham|theatrical]], and a [[Jerkass|bit of a dick.]] He is often mistrusted and snapped at by Agatha and Samuel. However, Charles has reached Nationals level and is a competent player.
=== Tropes: ===
* [[Informed Ability]]: Several readers have noted that Charles' 'theatrics' are not that evident.
* [[Jerkass]]: If someone needs to say something nasty to Robert, chances are it'll be Charles.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: He never hesitates to point out that he has been at Nationals as evidence for why he should play instead of Robert. Not that it ever usually works.
* [[The Unfavorite]]: The author does not really like him. It shows.
Line 65:
== Gabriel Smith ==
=== Kagero ===
The leader of Raging War and the former top player at shop Avalon. Gabriel is the object of Agatha's admiration, and he [[The Ace|never truly fails to]] [[Curb Stomp Battle|demonstrate just why that is.]] After the former Team Avalon's loss six months before the main story, Gabriel left under unknown circumstances, leaving no way for his former friends to contact him. He then resurfaced in the present at the Regionals, leading a new team - Raging War.
=== Tropes: ===
Line 79:
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: His deck's theme.
* {{spoiler|[[Took a Level in Jerkass]]}}
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Richard mentions that after the previous Team Avalon's loss at Regionals, Gabriel became much more harsh towards them.
== Joel Guerra ==
Line 86:
=== Tropes: ===
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Robert. Both are fighting to help their respective families by getting the prize money and sponsorship deals from winning Nationals.
* [[Iconic Item]]: His Arena Master Phoenix Feather card is regarded [[In-Universe]] as his trump card.
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: Phoenix Feather.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: He delivers one to Robert before he {{spoiler|wins against him}}.
* [[Shoot the Medic First|Shoot The Grade 1 First]]: The major gimmick of his Phoenix Colosseum deck is using his attacks to retire his opponent's Grade 1 or lower Units for skills.
* [["Wake
