There are quite a number of important characters in the Skylessia RP. Naturally, this page is a work in progress. These include:

Tropes used in Skylessia/Characters include:

Generation I

Alacia

Guile Mercenti

The Duke of Selisshan, a territory in Western Alacia near the Arad'uun border. His father and the former Rainahd chief were allies.

Badass Long Hair / Badass Longcoat
Blue Eyes: Piercing and icy. Ironically, water and ice are the only kinds of elemental magic he can't use.
Celibate Hero: His loyalty still lies with his deceased fiancee.
Combat Pragmatist
Consummate Liar: He prefers being truthful, but if he has to lie, he does it very well.
Elemental Powers: Fire, earth, wind, and lightning.
Gentleman and a Scholar
Guile Hero: Most of his personality was based on this concept. Not his name, though.
Living Lie Detector: No supernatural abilities for it; he's just good at reading people and looking for telltale signs.
Magic Knight: Not only is he a talented mage, but he's skilled with a quarterstaff and has a physical build better suited for a melee fighter.
Mighty Glacier: He's not a quick caster, but both his magic and physical strength are impressive and he wears armor.
Minored in Asskicking
Noble Fugitive: Guile's the only thing standing in the way of his old neighbor Duke Maxell Raxis taking over Selisshan's territory, and Raxis isn't one to pass up any opportunity to eliminate the competition.
Non-Idle Rich
Modest Royalty: Or Nobility, in this case. Still doesn't stop him from inadvertently standing out.
Only Known by Their Nickname: His real name is Maurice, but no one outside of Selisshan knows that. He goes by Guile Selden.
Photographic Memory: When he puts his mind to it.

Harmony Duval

Axe Crazy: No conscience, nasty temper at times. Do the math.
Aristocrats Are Evil
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing
Blue Blood
Cute and Psycho
Deathbringer the Adorable
Evil Is Sexy: She likes to think so.
Evil Twin: To Serenity.
Femme Fatale
Fluffy the Terrible
Heroic Sociopath
Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: A natural consequence of her stature and taste in men.
It's All About Me
Knife Nut: Her weapon of choice, although she's useless with one in a pitched fight.
Lack of Empathy
Long-Lost Relative: To Serenity, although Serenity is technically the long lost one.
Manipulative Bitch
Neutral Evil
Psychotic Smirk: What her real smile looks like.
Rags to Royalty: Or at least to nobility. King Thrushbeard style, somewhat subverted by Harmony not having learned anything but how to lie better.
Separated at Birth: Serenity again.
Stepford Smiler: Type C.
Straw Misogynist: For lack of a better trope. She dislikes other women in a general sense.
The Tease
Theme Twin Naming: Harmony and Serenity.
Til Murder Do Us Part: Subverted. Not that anyone believes it.
Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Briefly.
The Vamp

Maximillion Zwingley

The Duke of Fidona and one of the biggest idealists on the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism. Probably also one of the most clearly heroic characters. Despite being 3rd Tier, he is constantly made fun of.

Action Hero
Attack! Attack! Attack!: There is no other battle strategy!
Badass Cape: Of the purple variety.
Beware the Nice Ones: Zwingley TEARS GAZ'S ARMS OUT OF THEIR SOCKETS. "Nobody kills my king and lives", indeed.
Big Eater
BFS: Durandal.
The Big Guy: His 3rd Tier class is Juggernaut for a reason.
Boisterous Bruiser: To a T.
Chaste Hero: At least up until he became a Duke.
Chef of Iron: And a damn good one.
Farm Boy: Started out as a ranch hand.
Heroes Prefer Swords
Heroic Spirit
Honor Before Reason
Hope Bringer
Ho Yay: The fact that his highest support level was with Feldspar and he showed no interest in women meant that this was inevitable.
Idiot Hero: Skylessia's greatest.
Incorruptible Pure Pureness
Knight in Shining Armor: His armor is shiny and he fights evil and doesn't afraid of anything.
Large and In Charge: He's big and commands a small army.
Last-Name Basis: With everyone.
Limited Wardrobe
Long-Lost Relative: His half-brother, Carmine.
Mighty Glacier
Misery Builds Character: His whole family has been killed and he's gone to jail for things he didn't do more times than one can count. And he's still such a nice guy.
Older and Wiser: After he gets married and has a kid.
Power Fist: His Megaton Punch, Smite.
Principles Zealot
Rags to Royalty: The Sleeping Beauty type. Originally thought he was a rancher's son, but turns out he's the son of one of the wealthiest men on the planet, and his mother was sister to a Duke.
Rated "M" for Manly: Everything he does.
Nobles Who Actually Do Something
Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Feldspar and Zwingley, respectively.
Super Strength: Acquired at third tier.
Think Nothing of It: Pretty much the way he treats every situation in which he's saved someone.
Upbringing Makes the Hero: Played straight for the most part.
24-Hour Armor: Even at Chester and Dineyl's wedding.
World's Strongest Man: Because of above.
You Can Barely Stand: Has had a couple of these moments.

Richter Vastor

A sage from Alacia specializing in Wind Magic, he wanders in search of knowledge. Loyal, honest and kind, to a fault, his Achilles' Heel is his embarrassment around females.

Badass Bookworm: Wind Sage. 'Nuff said.
Elemental Powers: Wind
Good Samaritan
Oblivious to Love: If he makes a woman blush, he wouldn't realize it.
Walking the Earth
What an Idiot!: His kindness essentially led him to be a source of amusement for Harmony Duval, who, well... see above.

A member of the Knights Celestia and one of the strongest people in the world. Former duchess of Goshen.

Action Girl
Battle Couple: With Aether.
Break the Cutie
Characterization Marches On
Cool Sword: The Sword of Seals.
Defrosting Ice Queen
Hair Colors: Subverted. Syn is no spellcaster, but a swordswoman.
Nerves of Steel
No Guy Wants an Amazon: The strong-willed Syn has had a notoriously difficult time acquiring suitors.
Pettanko
Shout-Out: "My name is Syntyche Trevayne. You have killed my ex-boyfriend. Prepare to die."

Arad'uun

Ellis Nineveh

A young man of the Nineveh, a tribe of forest Vikings that are more or less stuck in Dark Age Europe. Brash, eager, and impossible to get along with, no matter how powerful he becomes he remains one of Skylessia's premier Butt Monkeys.

A Man Is Not a Virgin: Ellis subverted this until Amaranth got her hands on him.
Awesome but Impractical: Ellis's weapon of choice, Revolution, is a 3 foot long, glorified magically spinning pizza cutter. It doesn't stop him from using it a lot.
Badass Boast: At least, he tries.
Barbarian Hero
Blood Knight
Blue and Orange Morality
Book Dumb: Exhibit A.
Bratty Half-Pint
Can't Bathe Without a Weapon: He even brought his axes to a wedding.
Child Soldier: Despite his insistence that he is a full-grown man, Ellis tends to border on this. Contributes greatly to Values Dissonance.
Deconstruction / Lampshade Hanging: Of kid heroes and shonen protagonists, depending on where on the Mood Whiplash a given post is.
Despair Event Horizon: Particularly prone to this.
- Kick the Dog: Inflicted on his son in a Bad Future, culminating in hitting him in the face and telling him that he should have died instead of his sister.
Determinator
- You Can Barely Stand
Eyes of Gold
Fiery Redhead
Funetik Aksent: "What, y'got a problem with that?!"
Glacier Waif: Due to being weighed down by all his armor and axes, he is usually more of a Stone Wall than his build would have you believe. The few times he fought without his armor he became a Glass Cannon.
Hair-Trigger Temper
Hot-Blooded
Horny Vikings: He and his entire tribe have the helmets to show it.
I Want to Be a Real Man
Kid Appeal Character: Ankle Biter flavor, upgraded from Tagalong Kid.
Lawful Neutral: Which translates as Chaotic Neutral, due to what constitutes Nineveh 'law'.
Mood Whiplash
Mr. Imagination: There is no other way to explain this.
Named Weapons: Banditcleaver, Banditbutcher, Pirateslayer, Woodcleaver, Deerbutcher, Starforged, and Revolution, to name a few. Out of these only Starforged and Revolution are particularly special axes.
No Social Skills
Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: What happens when he tries to speak with an Alacian noble accent.
Principles Zealot: To a ridiculous degree.
Proud Warrior Race Guy
Rated "M" for Manly: Everything he and Zwingley does together.
Reckless Sidekick: To Zwingley.
Redheaded Hero
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red Oni to Erevor, Leon, Niode, and almost everyone else. Blue Oni to Kid Stan.
Trope Overdosed
Troubling Unchildlike Behaviour: At 15, the youth age limit for a Skylessia PC, Ellis killed many, many people with barely a second thought, much to the consternation of those who saw him as no more than a child.
24-Hour Armor: Utterly played straight, and deconstructed. Non-Nineveh think it's completely bizarre that he wears his armor everywhere he goes.
Tsundere: Type A
Unreliable Narrator
- Marty Stu: Ellis, according to himself.
Values Dissonance: With nearly everyone else he talks to.
Vitriolic Best Buds: Type 2, with Erevor.
"Well Done, Son" Guy: His primary motivation during his Sending.

Mairenn Trenor

*Mairenn and her prized bow, Soulsinger*

A young woman from the Trenor clan, a small tribe in northern Arad'uun. She's generally calm and easy-going. One of the many women involved with Vadim Itzal.

Anti-Magic/Power Nullifier: Her main bow dampens the effects of magic both ways - mages hit with an arrow from it become weaker, while she also gets a boost in resistance. While it doesn't completely nullify magic, it's still enough for the trope to apply. Impressive for simply finding it lying around in a storeroom.
The Archer: She's a Ranger.
Blade on a Stick: Lances are her secondary weapon.
Laser-Guided Amnesia: She had it once, and it was the focus of an RP plot.
Mage Killer: Developed into one after gaining Soulsinger.

Blue Eyes: of the icy and piercing variety.
The Captain: Was this in the Devlani military, before he was blacklisted as an insurrectionist.
Deadpan Snarker: Doesn't say much, but when he does it sometimes falls into this category.
Defector From Decadence: Starts speaking out against the oppressive government after a member of his batallion kills an innocent woman. It doesn't go very well.
Heroic BSOD: Experiences one while living in Valhassa after getting thrown overboard of a ship and left for dead. He gets better.
The Stoic: Mostly, but lately that's been changing as he's been dealing with Devlan directly.

Norville 'Banks' Banks

Affably Evil
Brilliant but Lazy
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass

Nagaräth

Freya Lafayette

An Axe to Grind
Bare Your Midriff: Freya's wardrobe has been morphing with her location, but she favors a Chainmail Bikini to contain her Boobs of Steel.
Boisterous Bruiser: Can't read, very lighthearted almost bordering on obnoxious, but not quite The Idiot From Osaka.
Disappeared Dad: which lead to Made a Slave
Fragile Speedster Viking
Just Like Robin Hood: Does what she needs to get by; more specifically a Classy Cat Burglar who displays Honor Among Thieves
The Tramp: whose various jobs include being a Hooker with a Heart of Gold, Private Military Contractors, or a Kleptomaniac Hero

Marik Stavron

Badass Long Robe
Bad Powers, Good People: As a Shaman, he uses Dark magic, which is often viewed as evil and corrupting. But he's actually a pleasant guy if you can get past his mistrust and defenses.
Black Magic: It's implied that he's addicted to using Dark magic, and that it has been gradually and subtly affecting his personality for the worse.
Book Dumb: He's dyslexic, and can read, but it's very difficult. He makes up for it with keen observation and a good memory, and doesn't need tomes to cast magic.
The Captain (in training): If anything happens to the current captain of the Black Phoenix, Marik's next in line to take command.
Claustrophobia: A mild and somewhat specific case: He doesn't mind small spaces, per se, but put him in an isolated space with anything remotely resembling a restraint...
Deadpan Snarker
Distinguishing Mark: The stylized phoenix tattoos on his neck and arm that represent his belonging to the crew of the ship Black Phoenix; the blackened skin and scarring on his chest and back from a Corruption spell; and most recently, scars on his wrists and ankles from being stuck in shackles for a month. Considering he's currently a fugitive, each of these also doubles as a Mark of Shame.
Eyes of Gold
Funetik Aksent
Glass Cannon
Hurting Hero: He became a fugitive after escaping arrest for crimes he didn't commit. Anyone attached to him runs the risk of getting involved in the mess, forcing him to adapt a Jerkass Facade to try to keep them at bay despite the loneliness it brings.
Knight in Sour Armor: Trauma has turned him cynical and bitter, yet he still cares for the world and those in it and goes to great lengths to help people, with no concern for his own safety.
Light Is Not Good: The Light magic-wielding priests and elders of his village get very heavy-handed in their efforts to root out "evil" Dark magic.
Living Lie Detector: He's not foolproof, but he's good at noticing even slight tells.
Master of Illusion
Messy Hair
Mistaken for Murderer: A string of coincidences and mistrust led to Marik being falsely accused of participating in mass murders while trying to help a sick friend. To protect her, he refused to fully explain himself to the priests who apprehended him, and was shipped off to The Alcatraz for his troubles (but escaped on the way there). He's now a wanted fugitive and would like nothing more than to be able to clear the accusations against him and return home.
Mysterious Past: Even Marik doesn't know what happened before he was six years old.
Pirate: Type 2. The Black Phoenix only targets other pirates and the occasional merchant who is already suitably well-off and usually arrogant. Marik was kept out of harm's way during skirmishes.
Real Men Wear Pink: He embroiders designs of plants and animals on his clothes, and expect a scathing rebuttal if you try to mock him for it.
Shout-Out: The ship Vastmark and its captain, Dhirken, are Shout Outs to Wars of Light and Shadow.
Stoic Woobie: He'll show pleasant emotions, even if they're faked, but he does his best to hide his real suffering. It doesn't always work.

Olivan

Andreas Valentine

Badass Longcoat
Bring My Red Jacket: He wears one, and does suffer for it sometimes.

Unexplained Accent
Weak but Skilled
You Gotta Have Blue Hair

Samson Auberak

Actual Pacifist: He hates fighting and dreads the thought of killing, but mercenary work was the only real choice he had to earn the money he needs; as a result, he's become a very Reluctant Warrior.
Beware the Nice Ones: He's a compassionate guy, albeit with poor social skills, pacifistic, and has a background in medical training. He also knows how to prepare healing salves and poisons, is good at utilizing his surroundings and ascertaining weaknesses, and has enough skill and speed with both bows and swords to be able to hit them while running circles around you. It turns out that getting him mad really isn't a good idea.
Brainy Brunette: An uncommon male example.
Celibate Hero: He's not even one for contact as basic as holding hands. The thought of sex very much Squicks him out.
Chronic Hero Syndrome: He just can't pass up an opportunity to help out, even if it lands him in trouble.
Combat Medic: Although a mercenary by profession, his real talent lies in his medical training.
The Determinator
Fragile Speedster
Heroic Self-Deprecation: He doesn't view his skills or accomplishments as anything special and constantly berates himself as useless.
Heroic Spirit: His miserable self-image belies his real determination and inner strengths.
Honor Before Reason: He'll go out of his way to avoid killing his enemies, even if doing so would save him a lot of trouble in the end.
Iron Woobie: He spent most of his life getting constantly berated by his stepfather for everything he did, even taking the irrational blame for his stepbrother, Jeremy, getting sick, effectively destroying his self-esteem. Yet he still started training in swordsmanship and became a mercenary - an entirely ill-suited choice for his pacifistic nature - just so he could get the money to pay for a rumored treatment for his brother's paralysis, despite this decision resulting in his stepfather banning him from his own home until he could come back with fame and fortune. All to see Jeremy walk again.
Loyal Animal Companion: Diablo the Mauthe Doog.
Messy Hair
The Nondescript: In a setting with so many characters having distinctive traits that would set them apart in a crowd, Samson is remarkably unremarkable.
Parental Substitute: Callan acted as this in absence of his stepfather's emotional support.
Super Hearing: And it annoys him to no end.
Weak but Skilled: Sort of; he's got skill and speed on his side moreso than brute strength, but physically he's still not exactly a pushover.
