PvP (webcomic)/Characters: Difference between revisions

The founder and chief executive officer of ''[[Pv PPvP]] Magazine'', Cole Richards is, along with Jade, the grounding center of the main cast, often contrasting with the wild antics of the main cast (though he's been known to go off the reservation himself). Brent's college roommate and best friend since high school, Cole <s>is</s> ''was'' the only married member of the main cast. He's also the only one with children. Allegedly based on Richard Stockton, a friend of Scott Kurtz's.

* [[Team Dad]]: Takes on this role for the ''[[Pv PPvP]]'' staff. Eventually [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] [http://www.pvponline.com/2008/04/29/honored-her-offer/ this towards Jade], which Brent finds creepy.

The co-founder of ''[[Pv PPvP]] Magazine'' and Cole's closest friend, Brent Irving Sienna{{spoiler|-Fontaine}}, is in many ways Cole's [[Dramatic Foil]]. Where Cole is (usually) responsible, Brent often is brash and egotistical, and where Cole is proud of his geekiness, Brent vehemently denies it. Cole uses Windows, Brent uses Macs. You get the idea. However, while the two are very different, they also share many similarities, such as similar interests. Also, {{spoiler|[http://www.pvponline.com/2008/05/04/the-vows/ as of May 2008], Brent has left his place among the comic's bachelors and is now married to his long-term girlfriend, Jade Fontaine}}.

Jade Evelyn Fontaine{{spoiler|-Sienna}} is, along with Cole, the most responsible member of the ''[[Pv PPvP]]'' staff and most likely to get work done. However, her work ethic strains against her own impulses for mischief and addiction to online gaming. Nonetheless, Jade is something of a [[Team Mom|maternal, governing figure for the group]], who is at least as likely to try and be responsible as she is to goof off. For a long time, she was also the [[Token Female]], before Marcy and later her sister Miranda were hired.

Skull [[Just for Pun|Theodore]] Troll is a 400-year old troll who is the only non-human member of the ''[[Pv PPvP]]'' staff. Childish and innocent, Skull is something of an odd match even discounting his mythical nature, being completely sweet and good-hearted, quite large, and also unpaid (he works there officially as an intern). Skull was originally imported from Scott Kurtz's earlier comic, ''[[Tales By Tavernlight]]'', and was modeled (at least initially) after the trolls featured in ''[[Ultima Online]]''. Since then, however, he's become an integral part of the cast, the comic's mascot, and developed a rich backstory. His flatulence has also become a subject of great notoriety within the strip.
