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]]
Line 49:
* [[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 In 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 67:
Rendell's brother, Duncan helps to take care of the Lockes with their father gone.
* [[Straight Gay]]: 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 on 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 95:
* [[Neck Snap]]: He seems fond of it.
* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: {{spoiler|[[Stringy
* [[Used to Be a 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.}}
Line 123:
* [[An Axe to Grind]]
* [[Bald of Evil]]
* [[Hoist by 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 160:
* {{spoiler|[[Impaled 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 207:
* {{spoiler|[[Death by Racism]]}}
* [[Fat Bastard]]
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Of the ironic variety. In one scene, he and a co-worker discuss who would win; [[A Nightmare on Elm Street|Freddy Kreuger]] or [[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre|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.
