{{work}}
== Paladins ==

The group of five chosen by Butler to defend Domina from the screamers. Originally, Adam wasn't supposed to be included, until Butler realized he was a "natural-born killer."

=== Adam Andrew Anders ===

The new guy in the city, there for school. Quickly becomes Derek's roommate, although he was supposed to room with his internet friend Dale.

* [[Alliterative Name]]
* [[Badass]]: He's noted to be a "natural-born killer."
** [[Badass Normal]]: [[Enforced Trope|Enforced]]. He is ''[[Gratuitous Latin|lutum informis]]'', so the toy maker is next to useless on him.
* [[The Lancer]]: Maybe.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: All three of his names mean approximately "man."
* [[The Team Normal]]: The only one without powers.
* [[The Watson]]

=== Derek Huntsman ===

Adam's roommate, and [[The Hero]]. He suspects that Adam's friend is dead, but doesn't have the heart to tell him.

* [[Barrier Warrior]]
* [[Battle Couple]]: Something like that with Akane.
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: He rescues people on a daily basis.
* [[Clueless Chick Magnet]]: Lily claims that ''every'' girl he meets is in love with him.
* [[Hair of Gold]]
* [[The Hero]]: Oh yes.
* [[Innocent Blue Eyes]]
* [[Lantern Jaw of Justice]]: Occasional mention is made of his "strong chin."

=== Laura Medina ===

A girl who grew up in Domina City and is going to Akamatsu University for school. [[Childhood Friends]] with Elizabeth and Derek.

* [[Character Tics]]: She touches her necklace when she's nervous.
* [[Childhood Friends]]: With Derek and Elizabeth, until they were eleven.
* [[Kuudere]]: She's cold to pretty much everyone, but does care.
* [[Living Lie Detector]]: Her power. It's specifically noted that [[From a Certain Point of View|half truths]] slip right by.
* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: She wears her mother's engagement ring on a necklace.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: The reason she left South Central when she was eleven. All we know is that she blames Derek.
* [[The Smart Guy]]
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Arguably the tomboy to Elizabeth's girly girl.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: Lie detection wouldn't be that good anyway, but it's not even reliable.

=== Akane Akiyama ===

Another friend of Derek's, who he's known for years. For some reason yet to be explained, she follows Derek's orders explicitly.

* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Battle Couple]]: Something like that with Derek.
* [[Childhood Friends]]: Derek's, after Laura left.
* [[Hot Chick with a Sword]]: She carries around a real katana, which she apparently uses in kendo.
* [[The Lancer]]
* [[Super Speed]]
* [[The Quiet One]]: She's very shy around new people.

=== Ling Yu ===

A native of Domina, but new to Derek's social circle. Rooming with Akane, and obsessed with anime.

* [[Action Girl]]: She's actually an athlete.
* [[Anime Chinese Girl]]: Considering how much anime she watches, this may be [[Invoked Trope|invoked]].
* [[The Big Guy]]: Although she's short, she's on the soccer team, and she has an offensive power. She also notes more than once that she's not very smart.
* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]
* [[Occidental Otaku]]: Namechecked. Well, [[Otaku|not the "occidental" part]].
* [[Odango Hair]]
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]: Five feet tall and kicking ass.

== Necessarius ==

The biggest gang in the city, which uses a simple red and black band as its emblem. The name translates to "Necessary," which seems to sum them up pretty well.

=== MC ===

The switchboard operator for the entire city.

* [[Big Brother Is Watching]]: Of the benevolent variant.
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: Her real name is Mary Christina, but she hates that name.
* [[Full-Name Basis]]: Butler is the only one who calls her by her full name.
* [[Mission Control]]
* [[Voice with an Internet Connection]]: For the Paladins on missions.

=== Artemis Butler ===

A powerful gang lord who gained power by killing everyone who got in his way, but also by honoring deals and promises.

* [[Big Good]]: Maybe.
* [[Evil Albino]] / [[Heroic Albino]]: Heavily implied, though which is up for debate.
* [[Large and In Charge]]: It's mentioned several times that he is ''huge''.
* [[Necessarily Evil]]: His gang is named Necessarius, Latin for "Necessary."
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Despite being a ''gang lord''.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Again, he named his gang ''[[Necessarily Evil|Necessarius]]''.

=== Drakela Sanguinas ===

The leader of the retinue, the Necessarian team assigned to support the Paladins. A vampire, and an ex-Belian (whatever that is).

* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: She doesn't particularly like her name, even though she chose it, so she usually goes by Kelly.
* [[Odd Friendship]]: Alex is a close friend of hers, and is an angel. Although no attention has been drawn to it, considering what we know about [[Fantastic Racism|angels and vampires]], it seems strange.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]
* [[Plain Name]]: For a vampire, any variant of Dracula (such as Drakela) is as common as John or Jane.

=== Alex Gabriel ===

An angel working for Necessarius and Kelly's second in command in the retinue.

* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: Although Kelly refers to him in male pronouns for convienence, Adam assumes he is a girl. Of course, "he" is [[No Biological Sex|neither]].
* [[No Biological Sex]]: As part of a show of commitment to the cause, "he" became gender-neutral.
* [[Odd Friendship]]: Kelly is a close friend of his, and is a vampire. Although no attention has been drawn to it, considering what we know about [[Fantastic Racism|angels and vampires]], it seems strange.
* [[Our Angels Are Different]]

=== Jarasax of the Blood-Doused Hunters ===

A changeling member of the retinue.

* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Has an absurd name with no explanation, unlike everyone else, who have at least ''some'' reason behind the weird names.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: He's a changeling, an escaped slave of the fey, so this is implied.
* [[The Driver]]: Seems to be his main job.

=== Kat ===

A mute [[Petting Zoo People|fel anthro]] member of the retinue.

* [[Catgirl]]: Mostly of the "dangerous" variant.
* [[Cold Sniper]]
* [[Cute Mute]]: Definitely mute, but jury's still out on "cute."
* [[Petting Zoo People]]: A [[Catfolk|fel]] anthro.

=== George ===

A [[Our Giants Are Different|giant]] member of the retinue.

* [[The Big Guy]]: Well, he's a ''giant''.
* [[More Dakka]]: He carries around a minigun, and explicitly describes his job as "Spreading bullets like water."
* [[Our Giants Are Different]]: Technically an [[Our Ogres Are Different|ogre]], which is apparently just a giant with the cannabilism buff.

== The Composer ==

=== The Composer ===

Apparently the source of the screamers. Very little is known about him, including "his" gender, other than that he likes killing.

* [[Axe Crazy]]: He considers it a show of willpower when he doesn't torture someone just because he can.
* [[Big Bad]]
* [[The Chessmaster]]
* [[The Faceless]]
* [[No Name Given]]: For every other scene from a certain character's view for the first time, they start with "My name is ___" and a few facts about themselves. Not the Composer. Even that title was [[Word of God]].
* [[Plaguemaster]]: Maybe. He's behind the zombies, but his method of creation is a little bit...odd, so it may not count.
* [[Pragmatic Villainy]]: He'd cheerfully slaughter everything in reach, but eventually he'd run out of things. So he's doing it another way.

== Other Characters ==

=== Lily ===

A girl who looks like a demon, and one of Derek's friends.

* [[Our Demons Are Different]]: She has horns, red eyes, fangs, and a tail. The tail is new.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Subverted; she doesn't seem like a bad person.
* [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?]]: She has at least two, and implies she has more. Derek claims she has "billions."


=== Elizabeth Greene ===

Another native of Domina, and a childhood friend of Derek, Laura, and Akane. Somewhat of a satellite character. She has a power, though exactly what has yet to be revealed.

* [[The Chick]]: She's not quite a member of the [[Five-Man Band]], but Derek and Laura try and keep her out of harm's way.
* [[Childhood Friends]]: To both Derek and Laura.
* [[Cunning Linguist]]: Zusa notes that she speaks both Vietnamese and Yiddish fluently, and no one seems surprised.
* [[Eyes of Gold]]: She does have a power, but we don't know what it is yet.
* [[Locked Out of the Loop]]: The others are intentionally keeping their role as Paladins away from her.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: The girly one to Laura's tomboy.

=== Simon Lancaster ===

A native of Domina and friend to Derek and Akane. He and his sister have at least one class with the pair. He recently joined the sibriex.

* [[Amazing Technicolor Population]]/[[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Purple skin and green hair. He mentions that this is actually somewhat low-key for a sibriex.
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: To Seena, a little bit more than she is comfortable with.

=== Seena Lancaster ===

Another native of Domina and friend to Derek and Akane. She and her brother have at least one class with the pair. She recently joined the Mals.

* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: ''Another'' one in love with Derek.
* [[Amazing Technicolor Population]]/[[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Jet-black skin and hair, to match her nighteyes.
* [[Hitman with a Heart]]: She believes her new subculture, the Mals, are this. Others are not as convinced.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: She recently joined the Mals, vampire assassins.
