Line 7:
The hero of the piece: red-haired, extroverted, enthusiastic, and loyal (though not the sharpest crayon in the box). He is also an [[Occult Detective]], which in his case means a lot of running around, meeting supernatural beings and occasionally using his magic hammer and magic marker to rectify things.
* {{spoiler|[[Achey Scars]] / [[I'm Having Soul Pains]]:}} when a ghost passes through him, he passes out and appears to be in sizable pain.
* [[Adorkable]]
* {{spoiler|[[Ambiguously Human]]}}
* [[Animals Hate Him]]
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: And don't mess with [[Berserk Button|his friends]].
* [[Big Guy, Little Guy]]: played with and somewhat averted: Zombie is never portrayed as a 'dumb but loveable' type, and is often more insightful and realistic then Hanna. That said, the contrast between them is [http://vert-is-ninja.deviantart.com/art/We-Make-It-Look-So-Easy-160448040 pretty noticeable].
* [[Blue Eyes]]
* {{spoiler|[[Body Horror]]: Implied not to have any ''internal organs'' or at the very least a very hollow remnant of them}}
* [[Buffy-Speak]]
* [[Captain Obvious]]: Hanna has his [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=5 moments].
** The comic [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=775 wouldn't really be complete without them.]
* [[Conveniently an Orphan]]: Any family ties that Hanna might have are completely omitted, and it's implied that he's alone in the city.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]
* {{spoiler|[[Dark and Troubled Past]]}}: hinted at [http://vert-is-ninja.deviantart.com/art/After-All-This-Time-155094756 in this official art].
Line 29:
* [[The Hero]]
* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Hanna thought it was a perfectly sound idea to trust the vampire bat Adelaide. [[Captain Obvious|It wasn't]].
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Hanna uses a hammer and sharpie for ghost hunting.
** It's not a sharpie, it's a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|magic marker]].
* [[Keet]]
* [[The Kirk]]
* [[The Napoleon]]: Averted. Hanna's a tiny guy (5'3" on a good day,) but seems pretty comfortable with his stature.
* [[Lovable Nerd]]
* [[Occult Detective]]: though his skill at the job is so far debatable.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: He looks like a teen, but he's 24. No, really.
* [[The Pollyanna]]: Hanna isn't an overwhelming example, but he's hinted to have a [http://vert-is-ninja.deviantart.com/art/After-All-This-Time-155094756 pretty harsh past] and is still easily the most optimistic and extroverted of the main cast.
* [[Redheaded Hero]]
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: He's 5'3 and skinny as a rail, and relies on his rune-writing abilities for most of his offense.
* [[Stop Helping Me!]]: Hanna 'helped' Conrad remove a vampire from his apartment... By accidentally turning him into one.
* [[Unfortunate Names]]: He likes his name well enough though.
* [[Weirdness Magnet]]
* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: A fairly understated and well handled one.
== '''{...}/Zombie''' ==
Line 52:
* [[Anime Hair]]: He appears to have wings on his head, but it's really just white tufts of hair.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: People generally have a negative impression of [[The Undead]], but he's actually a pretty nice guy.
* [[First-Person Smartass]]: {...}'s narration is deadpan and wry, contrasting the high-energy feel of the comic and [[Lampshade Hanging|pointing out]] the ridiculous things that happen in it.
* [[Ghost Amnesia]]: Zombie doesn't even remember what his name was.
* [[Glowing Eyelights of
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Averted; he's covered in scars (including, although it's yet to be shown, an '''autopsy incision''') that aren't raised but are closed with ugly black thread.
* [[Inscrutable Oriental]]: If he is in fact Asian.
Line 65:
* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]
* [[Occult Detective]]
* [[Our Zombies Are Different]]: He has no interest in mauling people or eating brains, and is a fairly normal guy aside from being dead. Also, he clearly has sapience, though no memory of his past.
* [[Perma-Stubble]]
* [[The Spock]]
* [[The Stoic]]: Zombie ''is'' capable of a range of emotions--and is actually shown to be rather caring and empathetic--but it doesn't register very often on his face, leading people to believe he is one of these.
** Hanna [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this by keeping tabs of every time Zombie smiles.
* [[Suddenly Ethnicity]]: He's [[Ambiguously Brown|apparently]] Asian.
* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]
* [[Supporting Protagonist]]
Line 89:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: One of Tessa's favourite things to do seems to be scaring, hurting or otherwise torturing Conrad. And it can only get worse from here on out.
* [[Chew Toy]]: The poor guy hires a paranormal investigator to get rid of a vampire and ends up becoming one.
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Actually, there's only one fang to speak of.
* [[The Chick]]: Albeit a grouchy and standoffish one.
* [[Emergency Transformation]]
* [[Foe Yay]]: With Doc Worth.
Line 104:
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: According to his [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?page_id=2 cast page].
* [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]]
* [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]] : Shippers who pair him with Toni often ([http://vert-is-ninja.deviantart.com/art/That-Is-Quite-Enough-150926443 justifiably]) portray them this way.
* [[The McCoy]]
* [[Metrosexual]]
* [[Nerd Glasses]]
* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]
* [[Oh Crap]]: [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=194 Someone had to do it].
* [[Only Sane Man]]
* [[Tsundere]]: [http://i.imgur.com/MfFVW.png As demonstrated here.]
Line 120:
A highly shady, sleazy, crabby and unpleasant individual who is Hanna's go-to for all medical purposes. His unique specialization (dealing with non-humans) is probably the only thing that keeps his business going, since he's not even a proper doctor but rather a med-school dropout. His main hobbies seem to be smoking, looking suspicious, [[Vitriolic Best Buds|fighting with his best friend/partner in crime Lamont]] and insulting Conrad who he is [[Foe Yay|allegedly "keen on"]].
* [[Animal Motifs]]: vulture.
* [[Australian Accent]]: Reportedly. It's also mostly unintelligible and peppered with profanities.
* [[Back-Alley Doctor]]
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Interviews reveal that he does in fact have a younger sister, and might have just a touch of a protective streak over her (to bad for him she’s apparently a swimsuit model)
* [[Chaotic Neutral]]: [[Word of God|The author]] describes him as a "miscellaneous jerk."
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]
* [[Dr. Jerk]]: He's not a [[House (TV series)|genius]] to make up for his [[Jerkass]]-ishness, but Worth does seem to have a rather... ''unique'' specialization.
Line 155:
* [[Older Than They Look]]: According to a [[Word of God|character Q&A]], she became a werewolf in the 80s. Assuming the comic's set in or near the present, she's probably a couple decades or so older than she looks.
** Or she was born that way in the 80s. Hanna is 24 and he says Toni is around his age.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Of a sort, if only by virtue of lacking a [[Weirdness Censor]] and being able to notice some [[Cute Little Fangs|unusual]] [[Glowing Eyelights of
* [[Mama Bear|Mama Wolf]]: No, really, don't screw with her friends. Unless you feel like getting bitch-slapped by a werewolf.
* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: Toni's werewolf form is usually something along the lines of a [[Big Badass Wolf]], but due to her power source being damaged, she takes ''[http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=762 this]'' form.
** [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Hau,]] [[I'm Taking Her Home with Me]]!
*** [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=767 Hanna agrees.]
* [[Sleep Mode Size]]: Since her talisman is broken, she has to take the form of a small dog instead of a full werewolf in order to conserve its energy.
Line 171:
[[File:veser_1_9957.png|frame]]
Big-eyed, sharp-toothed and ready to say something inappropriate at any given moment, Veser is a 19-year-old college student who happens to harbor several secrets: for one thing, he has [[Abusive Parents]], and for another, one of his parents is not quite human.
* [[Abusive Parents]]: His dad [[Incredibly Lame Pun|clubs baby seals.]]
** We don't know much about his mom, but their relationship probably isn't great either: he once commented that he's lucky she didn't [[Offing the Offspring|drown him as a baby]] out of spite.
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Sharks
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: More snark than deadpannery, but still.
Line 201:
* [[Sharp-Dressed Man]]
* [[Skunk Stripe]]
* [[
* [[Waistcoat of Style]]
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: He is in his mid-thirties like Doc and (probably) Lamont, but looks considerably older than either of them.
Line 212:
* [[Blue Eyes]]
* [[Dem Bones]]: As a ghost, he looks like a glowing skeleton.
* [[Glowing Eyelights of
* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]
* [[Honorary Uncle]]: To Veser, bordering on [[Parental Substitute]].
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: He and Veser seemed pretty close, although Lee was oblivious to the cause of the latter's bruises and sour disposition.
* [[Loss of Identity]]: He kept his memories after he died, but lost his personality and conscience. [[Shadow Archetype|Making him the opposite of Zombie, in a way]].
Line 265:
* [[Hair Color Dissonance]]: She's been drawn with either purple or dark green hair. It's actually black. Also, if there's such a thing as Eye Color Dissonance then that applies too, since they're often rendered as pink or purple instead of the red that all vampires have.
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=22 This] is the horrible vampire that maimed Zombie and killed Conrad.
* [[Magnificent Bastard|Magnificent Bitch]].
* [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]]: She is a pinkish purple when in bat form.
** And in some panels appears to be wearing [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=25 lipstick]. As a bat.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Woman Scorned]]: Implied in the [[All There in the Manual|interviews]].
== '''Lamont Toucey''' ==
Line 283:
* [[Pointless Band-Aid]]: Usually depicted with a bandage on his cheek.
** Justified, [[Vitriolic Best Buds|he and Worth occasionally punch each other.]]
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: As stated above, he and Worth express their friendship by hitting each other. Also it seems like Worth might be one of the few people he allows himself to act rudely towards.
== '''Abner Van Slyk''' ==
[[File:abner_1_1105.png|frame]]
Vampire hunter who has very recently made an appearance in the comic. He is mysophobic (that's "fear of germs" for ya) to the point of wearing a mask and gloves at all times. However, he seems to think his pet ferret Paradox (or Para-Para) is completely clean, and carrying the animal around and kissing him is apparently A-OK.
(That kissing thing was not zoophilia, promise).
* [[Badass Normal]]: One of the few truly ''human'' characters in the cast, and also one of the most [[Badass]].
* [[Evil Redhead]]
** [[Multicolored Hair]] (part red, part black)
* [[Flaw Exploitation]] / [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Supposedly the route to [http://vert-is-ninja.deviantart.com/art/If-I-Doodledumped-150953667 defeating him].
* [[The Hunter]]: Of vampires. Don't take it personally, though. After all, he is a professional.
* [[Loyal Animal Companion]]: Paradox goes almost everywhere with him, [http://vert-is-ninja.deviantart.com/art/Mercy-Kill-149264187 even while vampire-hunting. ]
