Lackadaisy/Characters: Difference between revisions

== Lackadaisy Employees ==

 

{{quote|"Always be prepared to improvise, Freckle. That's rule number one for jazz players and vigilantes alike."}}

 

Ladies and gentlemen, our hero! After a youth of drifting and doing odd jobs, he's found his place at the Lackadaisy speakeasy, where he plays the violin in the band, as well as being the person in charge of acquiring alcohol. Cousin of Freckle. Harbours a slight (??) crush on Mitzi.

* [[Alliterative Name]]

* [[Anti-Hero]]

* [[Warrior Poet]]: Well, he thinks he is. Especially with the "Poet" part.

 

{{quote|"Wait! No! I haven't been in any trouble since-- I mean, I'm a good-- I'm supposed to be a-HAHAHA'''HAHAHAH'''eep--!"}}

 

Rocky's younger cousin and Nina's son. His dream is to become a police officer, but that appears to have been squashed as he's been thrown out of the academy. Normally extremely shy and subdued, but shows a [[Axe Crazy|different side]] when faced with violence and chaos.

* [[Adorkable]]: Except when he [[Axe Crazy|isn't]].

* [[Axe Crazy]]: The boy ''really'' likes firearms.

* [[Disappeared Dad]]: [[Word of God|Tracy]] has confirmed that his dad is unfortunately deceased.

* [[Evil Me Scares Me]]

* [[Jekyll and Hyde]]

* [[Momma's Boy]]

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Whenever he's away from firearms at least. [[Ax Crazy|Otherwise....]]

* [[Post Dramatic Stress Disorder]]

* [[Reluctant Psycho]]: He's clearly disturbed by the fact that something's not quite right under his unassuming surface, and would like nothing more than to just "be a good boy."

* [[Shadow Archetype]]: To Mordecai. Both the most effective fighters in their organizations, but Freckle is an essentially decent person who can't conrol himself from berserker raging in combat, while Mordecai is a sociopath who holds himself in check by an obsessive commitment to order.

 

{{quote|'''Rocky''': Miss M's done a lot for me, y'know? I just get a little, uh, sentimental with her being in a vulnerable spot these days...

'''Viktor''': Vulnerable as like bear trap. }}

 

The proprietress of Lackadaisy since the death of her husband, Atlas May. Used to be a ukulele player and showgirl, which is how she came to meet her husband. Looks fragile, but is a shrewd and steely businesswoman, who refuses to abandon or give up on her speakeasy. In a tentative flirtation with Wick. The rumours of her involvement in her husband's death may be greatly exaggerated.

* [[Alliterative Name]]

* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Sweet, sexy young woman who just wants to keep her business going, or manipulative seductress who will do whatever it takes to get what she wants?

* [[Green Eyes]]: The sexy, mysterious type.

* [[Hartman Hips]]

* {{spoiler|[[Only Known by Their Nickname]]}}

* [[The Vamp]]: See [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] above.

* [[The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask]]: Not a queen, but very similar.

 

{{quote|"One af them bends somevhat. And is after seven years at this vork."}}

 

A Slovak immigrant with a violent past, he now works for Mitzi as an odd jobs man and occasional bartender. Is extremely protective towards Ivy, who is just about the only person he doesn't show barely-suppressed murderous rage. Used to be Mordecai's partner in contract killing, but their relationship has soured since.

* [[Alliterative Name]]

* [[Badass]]: ''Hell, yes!''

* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Stairs, on account of his bad knees.

 

{{quote|"You will read these magazines and you will ''like them''. And so help me, you'll ''learn'' to ''enjoy'' the banjo hour. There's not gonna be any moping, Viktor. There just isn't."}}

 

A cheerful and hyperactive college student and the only person Viktor treats with anything resembling affection. She has a big crush on Freckle.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]

* [[Bob Haircut]]: As befitting of any flapper girl.

* [[Shiny Midnight Black]]

* [[Tsundere]]: Mostly ''dere'', but her ''tsun'' side is definitely there.

 

{{quote|"Couldn't sleep after last night's fireworks... so I figured I'd practice sitting around looking troubled and pensive."}}

 

The band's cynical saxophonist. Was in a relationship with Mitzi at some point before she married Atlas.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Defector From Decadence]]: Is starting to think like one, becoming disillusioned with some of the things Mitzy is doing in order to keep the club running

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Not that it amounts to much in the long run.

* [[Smoking Is Cool]]

 

== The Marigold Gang ==

 

{{quote|"The longest death rattle I think I've ever witnessed... I don't have time for this. But that's what I get for betting on a bunch of ''pig'' rastlers to know how to deal with a lame horse."}}

 

Formerly a business associate of Atlas May; now makes no secret of the fact that he's just waiting for Lackadaisy to die for good. A pleasant, cheery tycoon with no scruples.

* [[Affably Evil]]

* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Inverted, as this guy is ''anything'' but sweet.

** [[Word of God]] says that he does love to eat sweet stuff though.

{{quote|"It was nothing so indulgent as a ''grand time''. It's merely work ethic."}}

 

Previously a member of Lackadaisy and Viktor's partner-in-crime, but left the gang on pretty bad terms after Atlas was killed (which he seems to know some truth about). He now works as a bootlegger for former rival Marigold, though he doesn't look too happy to be there either.

* [[Ambiguously Jewish]]: [[Word of God|Tracy]] actually confirmed him to be Jewish when fans kept asking if it was true or not.

* [[Axe Crazy]]

* [[Shiny Midnight Black]]: His main fur color.

* [[The Stoic]]: Mordecai's the rare example whose limited emotional range seems downright pathological. The Defiance morticians tell rumors that he might have suffered some sort of brain damage from a headshot wound.

{{quote|'''Serafine:''' De hatchet, cher. It was a joke.

'''Nico:''' We didn' tink you was really gone to use it.

 

Part of a [[Brother-Sister Team]] of assassins from the Bayou. Serafine dabbles in voodoo and dresses to the nines; she's just as beautiful as she is deadly. Appears to be the leader of the team.

* [[Ax Crazy]]: She and her brother are just as cutthroat at Mordecai, and seem to have a lot more fun with it, too.

* [[Brother-Sister Team]]: With Nico, below.

* [[Ragin Cajun]]

* [[The Vamp]]: As Vampy as you can get.

{{quote|"Mais, you looked pretty fixed on finishin' what you started."}}

 

* [[Animal Motifs]]: He’s compared to an Alligator in his bio, and as stated above The Cajun Gator was his boxing title.

* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]: Being a boxer and all. He still bandages his hands.

* [[Professional Killer]]

* [[Ragin Cajun]]

 

== Others ==

{{quote|"I just don't know how to entertain a lady who doesn't want to hear about rocks or bugs."}}

 

Old money, a quarry and mining magnate, and sweetly naive about the world. He's loyal to the Lackadaisy through thick and thin (and Mitzi may have more than a little something to do with that). Pleasant, amiable, hardworking, bit of a tippler, and rather idealist too.

* [[Adorkable]]: To paraphrase Tracy, he's just a geek for collectible relics, rocks, and bugs. (And liquor.)

* [[The Alcoholic]]: Can hold his alcohol like a champ, apparently. He also constantly adds liquor to his drinks and food, much to Lacy's dismay.

* [[Uncle Pennybags]]

* [[The Workaholic]]

{{quote|'''Wick''': ''(sigh)'' Why does blasting giant holes in the earth require so much paperwork?

'''Lacy''': Um... no rest for the wicked, I suppose. }}

 

Wick's mild-mannered secretary and coffee girl, who often works at his home to ensure that he gets finished with unfinished paperwork (which is a rather common occurence). Though she isn't one to butt into personal affairs, she is getting a bit suspicious of her boss's personal life, specifically his drinking and his "new paramour."

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[Only Sane Woman]]: At least when Wick is drunk or not thinking straight.

* [[Plucky Office Girl]]: Combined with [[Sassy Secretary]].

* [[Servile Snarker]]

 

Rocky's aunt and Freckle's mother. Extremely religious, and protective of her son. She also genuinely loves her nephew, despite all of the trouble he gets himself into. She's probably the closest thing to a parent in Rocky's life right now.

* [[Apron Matron]]

* [[Cool Old Lady]]

* [[My Beloved Smother]]

* [[Oireland]]

 

{{quote|"Tell you what -- we can pretend for now you're a good little ''tax payer'', not a ''sax player''. Trust me. I've got much bigger fish to fry. See you around."}}

 

A sharp-eyed, suave member of the Treasury Department, Dom seems to be up on his history, at least when it comes to speakeasys.

* [[Alliterative Name]]

* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]

** If you look at the pipe, he seems to just chew on it and not smoke anything. Although, it might just not be lit yet.

* [[Sharp-Dressed Man]]

 

The residents and owners of a funeral home in Independence. The family consist of Bobby Bastian, British born war vet of portly build, his lovely ex-nurse wife Elsa, and her brother Reverend Abelard Arbogast whom has yet to realize that he’s a little late to the Great Awaking. They aid the Lackadaisy gang by using their unassuming hearse as a means for booze transport.

 

* [[Alliterative Name]]: Bobby Bastian and Abelard Arbogast

* [[Badass Preacher]]: The first time we see Abelard, he’s chasing kids down with a hearse and carrying a pistil

* [[Funetik Aksent]]: Surprisingly averted with Bobby, as there was no sign of his British background until his bio came out.

* [[Noodle People]]: Abelard could hide behind a post is so inclined

* [[The Stoic]]: Elsa
