Line 93:
* [[Captain Obvious]]: Partially intentional. It drives Orlando insane.
* [[The Chick]]: Despite her efforts to avoid being treated this way, she fulfills the role rather well, with a few notable exceptions.
* [[GIRL]]: Inverted. Her online persona is male, to avoid being picked on, and she "forgets" to tell Orlando when they become friends. He is quite shocked when he finds out. But, considering he didn't tell her about his illness...
* [[The Lancer]]: She tries this in the Trojan War simulation when Orlando is too ill to fight. It doesn't go very well when she runs into Hector; ironically echoing the actual Achilles/Patroclus story.
* [[Sweet Polly Oliver]]: It's virtual reality, after all.
Line 127:
Susan's butler, he joins Long Joseph in watching over Renie and !Xabbu while they're immersed in VR within the decommissioned military base.
* [[Have I Mentioned I Am Gay?]]: He openly laments not having any time for romantic pursuits.
* [[
==== Long Joseph Sulaweyo ====
Line 183:
==== Daniel Yacoubian ====
American four-star general who provides military resources "under the table" to the Brotherhood. He acts as a foil to Jongleur and is a constant irritant because of his bickering. Goes by "Horus" in Otherland.
* [[Commander Contrarian]]: An evil version.
* [[General Ripper]]: His "brash American" mannerisms and gung-ho military mentality are exaggerated almost to the point of satire.
Line 237:
=== Online Characters ===
==== The Other ====
Mysterious and dangerous sentient operating system of Otherland.
* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: Subverted ''hard''.
* [[And Call Him George]]: The Other's attempts to "play with" children online send them into comas. Ouch.
Line 249:
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: The Other is at least thirty years old, but has never "grown up" mentally. It's never had the chance.
* [[Reality Warper]]: Within Otherland, that is.
* [[Story-Breaker Power]]: Literally has this, as it partially shapes [[
* [[Taking You with Me]]
* [[Tortured Abomination]]
