Line 2:
Following is a list of characters in ''[[The Longest Journey]]''. For characters first introduced in the sequel, see '''[[Dreamfall: The Longest Journey/Characters]]'''.
[[File:
Line 23:
* {{spoiler|[[Dropped a Bridge On Her]]}}
* [[Genre Savvy]]: In the original game... and how.
** Though she displays occasional [[Genre Blind
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: {{spoiler|The Draic-Kin female hinted that April might in fact be one. Since her mother turns out to be a dragon...}}
* [[I Have Many Names]]: Accumulates a new title with every culture she aids.
Line 30:
* [[Simple Staff]]: Her weapon in ''Dreamfall''.
A mysterious old man that tended to hang outside April's boarding house, Cortez at first seemed akin to a crazy hobo. But as the story unfolds Cortez is shown to be much more than that and winds up being April's mentor in her quest to restore the Balance.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: {{spoiler|What with being a dragon in human form}}.
Line 36:
* [[The Mentor]]
A friend of Cortez, Father Raul looks out for his congregation at the Hope Street Cathedral in the slums of Newport.
* [[Good Shepherd]]
The original White Draic'Kin, one of the four that created the two worlds ages ago. She first appears in a dream of April's early on the game, her importance is not fully realized until much later.
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: {{spoiler|She's actually April's biological mother and may be Zoe and Faith's as well.}}
One of April's best friends.
Line 52:
* [[True Companionship]]: With April and Emma.
April's best female friend and a student at the Venice Academy Of Arts like her.
Line 60:
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Regarding her two best friends.
April's rude neighbor that lives across from her in the Border House.
* [[Jerkass]]
Like April, Brian is a denizen of Stark that has journeyed to Arcadia, but unlike April he is not a Shifter so he can't return home. In the original game he lived in his seaside home in Marcuria where he languished his days away with drink. After aiding April on her quest, Brian decided to turn his life around and leave Marcuria to explore the rest of Arcadia.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: His role in ''Dreamfall'' would seem to indicate that he's much more important than it initially seemed.
April's plucky avian sidekick whom she saved from a greedy con-man. He tends to be rather scatterbrained, but he considers April a true friend and proves to be instrumental in her quest.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: As a bird, he gets distracted rather easily.
Line 77:
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: In both games. He doesn't appear until near the end of the game in Dreamfall, though, so his levity is rather overdue after a game full of being harassed, arrested, and attacked. He's also somewhat less "plucky" than most examples, because it's quite easy to hurt his feelings; probably because his only friend in the world (viz. April) tends to treat him like a tool, and a somewhat dim one at that. Zoë goes a long way towards endearing herself to him by treating him with considerably more respect-an optional conversation with him in Dreamfall is just a conversation for the sake of conversation.
A hapless detective whose life April tended to inadvertently ruin on her quest to save the Balance.
* [[The Chew Toy]]: April encounters him early on in chapter 2. She ends up {{spoiler|poisoning him with toxic waste, then stealing his identity, which later results in his being tortured for information he doesn't actually have}}. There's no indication that he deserves any of this.
An obnoxious, but intelligent and experienced hacker and tech specialist. Flipper aided April in trying to get inside Jacob McAllen's headquarters.
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: To be fair, most other characters are not afraid to use strong language when crap hits the fan.
Line 88:
{{quote|'''Flipper''': And the world keeps going 'round and 'round cause ''the Flipper's on board!''}}
Jacob McAllen's right-hand man, Gordon is an emotionless and cruel man that the Vanguard sought to make the new Guardian.
* [[The Atoner]]: After {{spoiler|his rational and magical selves were joined by April and he decides to be the Thirteenth Guardian to atone for his crimes.}}
Line 94:
* [[The Dragon]]: To McAllen
* [[Big Bad]]: Of the first game, who, ironically enough, is {{spoiler|a dragon}}.
* [[The Chessmaster]]
Line 102:
{{reflist}}
