Line 6: The father of the Locke family, Rendell is killed by Sam Lesser (under the orders of Dodge) at the very beginning of the series. * [[Back ~~From~~from the Dead]] {{spoiler\|Defied. After the Mending Key fixes her broken dishes, Nina tries to use it on his ashes. It doesn't work.}} * [[Cool Teacher]] * [[Death Byby Origin Story]] * [[Identical Grandson\|Identical Father:]] As an adult he just has Tyler's chin, but when we see his teen self he's pretty much just Tyler with a different haircut. Arguably this is a smart choice, as much of Tyler's arc is filling in his father's shoes. * [[Posthumous Character]] Line 21: * [[Drowning My Sorrows]]: '''Constantly.''' As of the end of ''Keys to the Kingdom,'' she's trying to quit, though. * [[Muggle]] * {{spoiler\|[[Rape Asas Drama]]}} * [[Weirdness Censor]]: Like nearly all adults, she has one that keeps her from recognizing the effects of the keys. {{spoiler\|However, when she has too much to drink, she recognizes and tries experimenting with one key}}. Line 28: The oldest of the Locke children, Tyler does his best to be the man of the house, but is still haunted by Sam Lesser's words. * [[The Atoner]]: That quote at the top of the main page? It still torments him constantly. * [[Book Dumb]]: Though he is pretty fast at thinking on his feet, and {{spoiler\|manages to piece together that Dodge and the Dark Lady are one and the same.}} * [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Especially obvious when he gives an irrefutable and logical explanation as to why Kinsey can't be trusted with secrets. Line 35: * [[Hypocrite]]: In a minor way. He constantly gets on the others to be more careful about using the keys and keeping secrets, but he's barely any better about it for most of the first 4 volumes. * [[Idiot Ball]]: Sure, go ahead and tell everyone about the magical key that can unlock people's minds... I'm sure nothing bad's going to come out of ''that'' one. Lampshaded by Kinsey. * [[Instant Expert]]: Subverted hard. Turns out simply absorbing the contents of a textbook doesn't help much in actually understanding it enough to write a paper on the subject. * [[Purely Aesthetic Glasses]]: Gets a pair of glasses that, according to Kinsey, make him look smart. He comments they do serve a purpose, as they help with his reading. === '''Kinsey Locke''' === The second youngest of the Locke children. Tired of being sad and afraid, Kinsey used the Head Key to {{spoiler\|totally remove her sense of fear and sadness.}} * [[Anime Hair]] * [[Badass Boast]]: Her various "I'm not afraid to ___" statements, but ''especially'' {{spoiler\|"I'm not afraid to kill you"}}. * [[Blessed ~~With~~with Suck]]: {{spoiler\|Completely removing your fears and sadness}} turns out to have some negative effects on your social life. * [[Broken Bird]]: Averted, but she strayed very close to it early on. * [[Fire-Forged Friends]]: With Scot, Jackie and Jamal after they all almost drown together. * [[Important Haircut]]: Changing her haircut from a conventional style to a short cut with a braid and green stripe marks when she starts bouncing back from her father's death. * [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: After {{spoiler\|removing her fears,}} although it led to some unforeseen consequences. * [[Plucky Girl]]: Actually ''enforced.'' She doesn't get scared or sad because {{spoiler\|she literally ''can't.''}} === '''Bode Locke''' === Line 57: * [[Cheerful Child]] * [[Cloudcuckoolander]] * [[Curious Asas a Monkey]] * [[Deliberately Cute Child]] * {{spoiler\|[[Grand Theft Me]]: Has been kicked out of his body, which has been inhabited by Dodge, and turned into a ghost no one can see.}} Line 67: Rendell's brother, Duncan helps to take care of the Lockes with their father gone. * [[~~Straight~~Invisible ~~Gay~~to Gaydar]]: Though it's implied he might not always be; he suggests they go to a club (as opposed to a bar) that is known to play Cher (though this may be because he {{spoiler\|correctly}} thought the club might be safer). * [[Tap Onon the Head]]: Gets knocked out pretty easily. A beer bottle is one thing, but a plastic gas can? * [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler\|It was actually his fault that Dodge got possessed.}} Line 78: * [[Attractive Bent Gender]] * [[Back ~~From~~from the Dead]]: Sort of. {{spoiler\|He is actually a living echo of his former self. As one point his corpse can be seen at the bottom of the Drowning Cave.}} * [[Big Bad]] * [[Big Bad Friend]] * [[Bishounen]] * {{spoiler\|[[Demonic Possession]]: Has a ...[[Eldritch Abomination\|thing]] lodged in his soul (if some lines in Clockworks #1 are to be taken seriously, it may be one of the [[HPH.P. Lovecraft\|Thousand Young]]) that guides his actions, although it's unclear just how much control it has; comments by Dodge about "moving the meat" indicate that the parasite is in full control, or possibly switches back and forth, only taking full control when necessary. Comments by Sam Lesser, however, indicate that the parasite may have completely taken over and simply retains Dodge's memories and personality, ala a [[Joss Whedon]] vampire.}} * [[Devil in Plain Sight]] * [[Faux Affably Evil]]: Knowns how to say all the right things, but there is an absolutely vicious, ruthless bastard hiding underneath it. Line 94: * [[Mind Rape]]: {{spoiler\|Knowing that they can't do anything about the demon and not wanting to kill their friend, Rendell's circle instead use the Head Key to rob him of all his memories of the last three years; the demon is still there but doesn't know about the keys or the Black Door.}} Ellie [[Invoked Trope\|explicitly compares this to rape]]. * [[Neck Snap]]: He seems fond of it. * [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]] * [[Shout -Out]]: {{spoiler\|[[Stringy -Haired Ghost Girl]]? [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can\|Trapped in a well?]] Actually male? [[The Ring\|Sounds familiar]]...}} * [[Used to Be Aa Sweet Kid]]: Without the {{spoiler\|[[Puppeteer Parasite]]}}, was actually a pretty cool guy. * [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: {{spoiler\|If he passes through the door to the wellhouse...Poof.}} * [[Weapon of Choice]]: Fond of stabby things, and uses both knives and a sharpened rapier to deadly effect. Line 106: * [[Abusive Parents]] * {{spoiler\|[[Back ~~From~~from the Dead]]: For about a minute before Kinsey re-kills him.}} * [[Broken Bad]] * [[Chainsaw Good]]: Forms an astral chainsaw at one point. Line 123: * [[An Axe to Grind]] * [[Bald of Evil]] * [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: "Now where'd I leave my hatchet?" * [[Teens Are Monsters]]: Unlike Sam, he's neither crazy or being strung along by an evil spirit. He probably just tagged along for the chance to {{spoiler\|rape Nina.}} == Others == Line 136: * [[Hotblooded Sideburns]] * [[Nobody Over 50 Is Gay]]: Averted. We don't know his exact age but he's no spring chicken. * [[~~Straight~~Invisible ~~Gay~~to Gaydar]] * [[Manly Gay]]: Though he's a bit on the portly side. Line 158: * [[Accidental Murder]]: {{spoiler\|Accidentally destroys the echo of Rendell's mother when she pushes her out of the wellhouse trying to defend Dodge.}} * [[Break the Cutie]]: Her experiences as a teen, and the breaking just continued due to her mother as an adult. * {{spoiler\|[[Impaled ~~With~~with Extreme Prejudice]]}} * [[Lovable Jock]]: As a student. * {{spoiler\|[[Self -Made Orphan]]: Attempted. In a flashback she comes very close to pushing [[Evil Old Folks\|her mother]] off a cliff after she [[Moral Event Horizon\|put a cigarette out on Rufus' neck,]] but can't go through with it. [[Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work\|Dodge had no such hesitation, however]].}} * [[Hot Guy, Ugly Wife]]: Her relationship with Dodge was commented on a few times as this. === '''Rufus Whedon''' === Line 205: An obnoxious orderly at the local booby-hatch, Dodge uses him to find Erin Voss. * {{spoiler\|[[Death Byby Racism]]}} * [[Fat Bastard]] * [[Foreshadowing]]: Of the ironic variety. In one scene, he and a co-worker discuss who would win; [[A Nightmare Onon Elm Street ~~(Film)~~\|Freddy Kreuger]] or [[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ~~(Film)~~\|Leatherface.]] Parsons insists that strength and weight are the only things that matter in a fight, and he's make quick work of any skinny guy with knives. {{spoiler\|[[Bishounen\|Dodge]] later shows up with knives and dispatches him effortlessly.}} * [[Jerkass]] * [[Orderlies Are Creeps]] Line 216: Formerly one of Dodge's circle, she is now a mental patient after {{spoiler\|Dodge completely emptied out her mind with the Head Key while searching for the whereabouts of the Omega Key. Used to be in love with Rendell.}} * [[All Love Is Unrequited]] * [[Empty Shell]] * [[Fate Worse Than Death]] * [[Locked Into Strangeness]]:{{spoiler\|The trauma of having her head emptied out turned her hair white.}} === '''Joe Ridgeway''' === Line 226: * [[Cool Old Guy]] * [[Full -Frontal Assault]]: {{spoiler\|He dies leaping out of the bathtub hitting Dodge with a rocks glass while quoting Shakespeare. Not a bad way to go.}} * {{spoiler\|[[Killed Mid-Sentence]]}} * [[Good Smoking, Evil Smoking]]: He smokes a pipe, of course he's a good guy.
