=== Attelus Kaltos ===
{{quote|
The main character is a young apprentice assassin whose father, Serghar Kaltos, was perhaps the greatest assassin to ever set up shop in the Calixus Sector. Attelus has to constantly live in his father's shadow. Born and raised in the recently discovered Agri world Elbyra, he is a bit more idealistic and kind than an assassin should be but this could soon change. He is a chain smoker but ironically is strongly against the use of harder drugs.
* [[Always Someone Better]]: Serghar Kaltos, Glaitis.
* [[The Apprentice (trope)|The Apprentice]]: A subversion as Attelus, while he is an apprentice, is far older than most assassin apprentices (most, including Elandria, would already be a full assassin by twenty three). But it's obvious to most people except Attelus that Glaitis is grooming him to be her replacement. He already has skill in combat down, but everything else, not so much.
* [[Author Avatar]]
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: [http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/111/2/e/Attelus_Kaltos2_by_Adrassil.jpg He wears one].
Line 15:
* [[Break the Cutie]]: whether Attelus is cute or not is up for interpretation, but to break him mentally seems to be Glaitis' main objective. But so far she is losing.
* Catch Phrase:
{{quote|
"Quite depressing really."
"The first time, in along time."
"That's the understatement of the century/Millennium/Millennia."
"I could hazard a guess." }}
* [[Chaotic Neutral]]: Even [[Lampshaded]] by Glaitis.
{{quote|
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: It would be a hell of a lot harder to understand Attelus' actions if they were shown from another character's perspective; it's hard even when it's ''from'' his perspective.
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: One of the very first things Attelus does is kick a ganger in the shin, with a ''boot knife''.
Line 31:
* [[Finishing Each Other's Sentences]]: Attelus does this to almost everyone, much to the annoyance of Glaitis in particular.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Attelus is up to [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]] levels.
** One example: When confronted with a ganger who puts [[Honour Before Reason]], Attelus betrays the guy, and when he shoots the ganger he shoots him many times to make sure that he was actually dead.
{{quote|
** His genre savviness is used as a character flaw: {{spoiler|his reaction to Elandria's death shows that he kind of knows he's the main character and is therefore highly selfish and paranoid}}.
* [[Hidden Depths]]
Line 52:
* [[Super Reflexes]]: To such an extent that he can pick up a knife and get into a throwing position before ''Elandria could even consider pulling a trigger''.
* [[There Are No Coincidences]]: After having to work under a [[Chessmaster]] for so long, Attelus is this trope incarnate.
* [[Training
* [[Understatement]]: Used a lot when he is in [[Sarcasm Mode]].
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Both in inner monologue and dialog, Attelus uses a lot of rhyming and alliteration and begins quite a few of his sentences with "hmmm", especially when in [[Sarcasm Mode]].
Line 58:
'''Elandria'''
{{quote|
She was recently employed by Glaitis. Though she is the same age as Attelus, she holds the rank of full assassin and is extremely ruthless while at it.
Line 65:
* [[Blood Knight]]
* [[Catch Phrase]]:
{{quote|
"What ever." }}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
Line 74:
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Wears a skin tight [[Cat Suit|bodyglove]]? Check! Isn't very knowledgeable of human interaction? Check! Insanely hot while at it? Check!
* [[Kick the Dog]]: {{spoiler|She emotionally tortures Attelus after his horrific injury at the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|axes]] of the Arco Flagellent. Whether she did this of her own accord or under orders is, as yet, unclear, but it certainly confirms that she is more than she [[Hidden Depths|initially seems]]}}.
* [[Neutral Evil]]
* [[Out-of-Character Moment]]: The moment is [[Lampshaded]] by Attelus' narrative.
{{quote|
I looked over my shoulder at her shocked, was that an actual joke? A backhanded compliment perhaps? Or something else entirely? }}
* [[Raven Hair, Ivory Skin]]: Even while amped up on combat drugs.
Line 85:
'''Garrakson'''
{{quote|
A senior mercenary of Taryst's organization, he is an ex-guardsman, an explosives expert, and the leader of Elandria's and Attelus little squad.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]:
{{quote|
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: {{spoiler|Despite them breaking up before the events of Secret War, it's implied that he's still in love with Taryst, so don't mess with Taryst, ever}}.
Line 97:
* [[A Father to His Men]]: {{spoiler|After his and Torris' lecture to Attelus at his bedside, Attelus compares the lecture to those given to him by his own father during his youth}}.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Not nearly as much as Attelus, but that could be due to his having a lot less screen time.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: He is one of the most upset when he finds out about {{spoiler|Attelus' [[No
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Anyone who thinks he's a typical [[Honour Before Reason]] ex-military type, think again.
* {{spoiler|[[
* [[True Neutral]]
