Despite their many flaws and lack of traditional heroic qualities, however, they are basically average adventurers who just so happen to have had bad lives. In the end, even though they all are unique in their traits, skills, powers, and backstories, they share a common interest:

* [[Horned Humanoid]]: Red devil horns after his alignment reversal.

* [[In Harm's Way]]: He needs to go back into the fray to re-level himself up.

* [[It Amused Me]]: His antics are almost all this. Argus could end most of his fights with pretty much no effort. He chooses not to, because "it's more fun that way."

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: His alignment ([[Chaotic Evil]]) pretty much requires him to act as a [[Jerkass]] whenever he can. His ''former'' alignment, however, pushes him into this territory, much to his chagrin.

* [[Evil Tastes Good]]: He thinks so, but can never know for sure.

* [[Fangs Are Evil]]: He '''''wishes''''' they were.

** To elaborate, {{spoiler|The Academy publicly looks to be a normal facility, but is actually run by evil masters, so all the students of positive alignments go insane, all the students of negative alignments are rewarded well.}} Since Davos is a Pureblooded vampire, that means that he's {{spoiler|immune to the insanity and control they'd normally exert over his alignment}}, making him a threat.

*** This is also the main reason {{spoiler|he is dissatisfied with his alignment as demonstrated by the quote--due to the negative experiences he had in The Academy, forced to be an alignment frowned upon and immune to the side-effects.}}

{{quote|''"Goblins are clichéd.'' ''[[Exclusively Evil]]''? ''Been there, done that.'' '''Not''' ''[[Chaotic Evil]]'', ''but perceived that way? Seen it before. Tragic past where a friend died at the hand of a Warrior? Certainly not new. Since I can't stop myself from being clichéd, might as well do what I want."''}}

* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]: She uses a sword, but her Goblin and Paladin skills means she could be this if she wanted to.

* [[Light Is Good]]: [[Chaotic Good]], to be more specific.

* [[Light'Em Up]]: Her element of choice.

* [[Power Fist]]: Can be created when combining her magic with her combat skills.

* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Fits best on the idealistic side.

The [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Ele]][[Elemental Powers|mentals]] are [[Hero of Another Story|secondary]] protagonists, [[The Rival|competing]] against The Latens. They were formed by Sanik with the intention of controlling all eight elements in the ultimate adventure. They were once known as heroes throughout the land, but have fallen into obscurity {{spoiler|since their homeland has been destroyed}}.

Starting over from scratch, Sanik decided to take the chance for a fresh start and begin things again. Since then, their emphasis has shifted more towards saving others, growing strong enough to defeat the Agent, and learn the truth.

Sarge is the [[The Brute|main combatant]] of The Elementals, always blunt and to the point, but is by no means the headstrong typical [[Fiery Redhead|Fire]] Warrior—Sanik and Tyra always take into heavy consideration anything he says, for his words carry wisdom as the man with the most years of [[Shell-Shocked Veteran|war-torn]] [[Old Soldier|experience]] of the group. The strongest of The Elementals, Sarge's stubborn [[The Determinator|endurance]] has helped the team pull through the [[Darkest Hour|toughest of times]], allowing them in the end to persevere against all odds.

* [[Chaotic Good]]: His alignment choice, opposite of [[The Rival|Nathan's]].

* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Subverted. He's plenty reasonable, but he views pragmatic moves as dishonoring [[The Warrior Way]], forming one of the main points in his rivalry with Nathan Betrax.

Their overall goal is the same as The Elementals, but their motivation is different: they want '''''revenge'''''. The truth coming out is just a pleasant side-effect of that. They're still "good guys", but only because they're fighting people worse than themselves.

* [[Hazel Eyes]]: Brian's real eye color. As it is hard to portray Hazel Eyes in drawings, he shows it as all the eye colors it can be seen as: [[Blue Eyes]], [[Brown Eyes]], [[Green Eyes]], and [[Eyes of Gold]].
