Line 18:
* [[Vain Sorceress]]: Meji's mom.
** Unusually, played sympathetically later in the story; Meji's mother is desperately trying to retain her beauty mostly so she can still be desirable to the dashing, immortal elf lord who serves as ambassador to her city every seventeen years. {{spoiler|He turns out to be a complete dick who is perfectly fine with the idea of killing his own daughter as a way of maintaining his reputation and apparently was rather vicious in brushing off Meji's mom when they met again after she had carried the torch for ''seventeen years''.}}
** Meji mentions that there's a bit of a [[Double Standard]] involved here. Then Ellis points out that she might qualify herself, [[A
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: with Ellis.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: sort of. She never knew her father, and wants to see him at least once to know why he left her. Given that he considers her an abomination as a Half-Elf, this isn't the best idea.
Line 32:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Made of Iron]]
* [[Snarky Non
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: with Meji
* {{spoiler|[[Sacrificial Lion]]}} Cat: By {{spoiler|[[Cessation of Existence]]}}. Uncertain yet if Ellis is also a {{spoiler|[[Schrodingers Cat]]}}.
Line 38:
----
'''Jon Amraphel:''' A [[Hitman
'''Tropes associated with Jon:'''
Line 49:
* [[The Gunslinger]]: His weapon of choice is a revolver, though he's not averse to sniper rifles.
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Jon has been known to [http://errantstory.com/2006-10-30 use two revolvers] in a pinch.
* [[Hitman
* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: He keeps his skills sharp by shooting leaves as they fall from trees.
* [[Jerk
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Jon is a master of this. He plays it up when meeting anyone new, generally causing them to severely underestimate him.
* [[Professional Killer]]: Jon is a member of the [[Murder, Inc.|Gewehr Wraiths]], an assassins' guild.
Line 58:
'''Sarine:''' Please don't do that again. You were just beard stubble away from looking exactly like your brother does when I confuse him. }}
** An elven [[Mook]] also points out the similarity [http://www.errantstory.com/2007-10-19 here.]
* [[Talk to
* [[The Stoic]]: tried to be one, but failed miserably.
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: With Sarine. Even actual sex doesn't resolve it.
Line 72:
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: {{spoiler|In this case dead big sister.}}
* [[Death Seeker]]: {{spoiler|made worse by the fact that he possesses [[Physical God|god-like powers]], is [[Made of Iron]], and has a [[Healing Factor]]. So far his attempts to get himself killed have only ended up killing hundreds of innocent people.}}
* [[Drunk
* [[Evil Feels Good]]: {{spoiler|When he attacks the elven city, Ian realizes that he enjoys killing people. Though he's a little disturbed by that at first, he quickly gets past that and embraces his genocidal tendencies.}}
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|after failing to resurrect his dead sister, he embarks on a campaign of genocide.}}
Line 79:
* [[Healing Factor]]: {{spoiler|Ian seems to gain one after absorbing the powers of Anilis.}}
* [[Heroic Sociopath]]: {{spoiler|until he absorbs the goddess Anilis and loses the 'heroic' part.}}
* [[I Cannot Self-Terminate]]: {{spoiler|primarily because he's simply too cowardly. He tries [[Suicide
* [[Ignored Epiphany]]: "Oh, dear Lord, I actually have zombie minions. Yep, I guess I really am evil."
* [[Ill Girl]]: Ian's sister and his reason for leaving home.
Line 90:
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: {{spoiler|once he gets his hands on the powers of the elven creator goddess Anilis.}}
* [[Physical God]]: See above.
* [[Suicide
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: {{spoiler|during his final fight with Meji, after she interrupts his slaughter of the Elves. "I was just trying to help!"}}
* [[Wangst]]: Ian pretty much has a monopoly on this. Other characters have gotten angsty in a scene or two for [[Dark and Troubled Past|completely legitimate reasons]], but {{spoiler|destroying a city and killing hundreds in a failed attempt at [[Suicide
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: He wants to make sure that the half-elves of the world won't have to live in fear of elven aggression. Unfortunately, his method of making this happen involves {{spoiler|killing off all of the elves}}. Of course, {{spoiler|he looses the "well intentioned" bit when it's revealed that he blew up the city of Emerylon and killed hundreds if not thousands of innocent people in an attempt to provoke the defending Veracians into killing him because he wanted to die and was to much of a coward to kill himself. And on top of that it didn't work, he killed all the Veracians who tried to stop him, including their artificial god, destroying the city in the process.}}
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]
Line 106:
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: after her midseries change in wardrobe.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Sarine, who has opened up and shown her inner [[Deadpan Snarker]] more and more over the course of the story, especially around Jon.
* [[If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...]]: Sarine [http://www.errantstory.com/2008-09-03 delivered such a speech] to former Ambassador Rarune regarding Rarune's half-elf daughter Meji.
{{quote| '''Sarine:''' If something happens to her, whether or not it was your fault, I'll come back and kill you.}}
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Played with. [http://www.errantstory.com/2004-09-20 Jon interrupts Sarine while she's taking a bath,] but although she doesn't get freaked out or try to cover herself, she's obviously annoyed and finds the interruption rude. So basically, fanservice yes, innocent no. Also subverted later: "[http://www.errantstory.com/2008-02-11 Having no cultural nudity taboo doesn't work that way.]"
Line 128:
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Like Sarine, Sara has warmed a little bit, though she's been a bit slower and more awkward about it.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Sara and Jon's father was killed many years before the main story takes place.
* [[Distracted
* Apparently, [http://www.errantstory.com/2009-02-23 Sara] made [http://www.errantstory.com/2009-03-03 quite the impression] on Jiro. Enough so that he actually asked after her later. Like Bani, the rest of us wonder what kind of freaky ninja sex technique she used on him.
* [[Double Weapon]]: Sara and Anita both make use of a double bladed Dolon style Durus Flamma, though other Ensigerum monks such as Warrel and Paul utilize a more practical Lancea (spear) form while still others such as Sarine's late husband used the more compact Spatha version. Sarine, during a fight with Sara, [[Lampshade|Lampshades]] [http://www.errantstory.com/2007-05-02 this,] stating that it is a poor weapon that was [[Rule of Cool|designed mainly for show]] and combines the weaknesses of a short sword and a spear into one crappy package. Despite this, Sara and Anita are skilled enough to overcome this handicap in most cases.
Line 135:
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}
* [[Jobber]]: in one chapter. [[Lampshaded|Mentioned]] [[Invoked Trope|by name]] [http://www.errantstory.com/2009-05-01 here.]
* [[Off
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]: she is a deadly warrior-monk despite still being relatively young.
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: with Jon
