Line 19 ⟶ 17:
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Her original Sigil Guardian costume.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: [[Lampshaded]] by Roy.
{{quote| '''Roy:''' Ah, there's my damsel. In distress. As is quickly becoming standard.}}
* [[Fairy Sexy]]
* [[Fish Out of Water]]: She's not familiar with how the Prime Material Plane or its inhabitants operate.
Line 29 ⟶ 27:
* [[Guest Star Party Member]]: Serves as the caster for the Haley/Belkar/{{spoiler|Roy's Corpse}} group in the "Don't Split the Party" arc.
* [[Hello, Attorney!]]: From Roy's point of view.
* [[I Thought Everyone Could Do That!]]: She finds it very strange that humans cannot [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0529.html shoot lightning from their fingers] or [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0531.html sense magic fields with their teeth].
* [[Pointy Ears]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Suitably for an air elemental, her name means "heavenly" in Latin.
* [[Monster Fun Facts]]: Averted by Celia, who does ''not'' tell the Order about her species because she thinks that all these facts would be common knowledge even for humans. Conversely, she doesn't know much about humans, either.
* [[Put Onon a Bus|Put on Another Plane of Existence]]: That ''is'' where she lives, after all.
* [[Sexy Backless Outfit]]: Her party dress in Azure City.
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Although she doesn't like to use it offensively, lightning is a natural power of hers.
Line 39 ⟶ 37:
* [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]: Which puts her at odds with the adventurers. Although she has no problem cheering Haley on as she kills people.
* [[Token Good Teammate]]: While she's adventuring with Haley and Belkar.
<!-- %% Do not remove Celia from this trope; Token Good Teammate isn't about wether or not most of the party is good; it's about one member having HIGHER STANDARDS than the rest. Which fits perfectly with Celia's pacifism against adventurer values. -->
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: [[Justified Trope]] by her outsider status, but [[Your Mileage May Vary]], and nearly as much of a love/hate character as Miko is
<!-- %% WhereDaWhiteWomenAt: Trope not applying, do not add it back. -->
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]
* [[Winged Humanoid]]

{{quote| ''"I'll have you know that I was named Best Illusionist of the Year three times by the Wizzie Awards by the time I was your age."''}}
 
{{quote| '''Race:''' Ghost (formerly human)<br />

'''Class:''' Wizard (illusionist)<br />
'''Alignment:''' [[Lawful Good]] (at time of death <ref> He is currently waiting for a member of his family to fulfill the [[Blood Oath]] he called years ago to slay Xykon; until that time, he is stuck in a limbo-like plane of existence where the deceased go to see whicwhich afterlife they are suited for- based on Roy's judgement, it is implied that he is not really [[Lawful Good]], or rather that he has failed to live up to the responsibilities of his alignment, and had not truly been [[Lawful Good]] for several years. However, until the Blood Oath is fulfilled, his alignment and afterlife cannot be ascertained</ref>) }}
 
Roy's rather selfish father who swore a [[Blood Oath]] of Vengeance after Xykon killed and zombified his master. Pretty much a condescending asshole to damn near everyone. [[Posthumous Character|Dead before the beginning of the story]], he pays ghostly visits to his son.
Line 67 ⟶ 62:
* [[Insufferable Genius]]: Has a natural disdain for fighters, which is the reason why he never got along with his father and son. Likewise, his master was also quite arrogant towards sorcerers, which got him killed by Xykon.
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: One scene in ''Start of Darkness'' portrays him as such, {{spoiler|where he declines a perfect opportunity to defeat Xykon out of concern for leaving his wife widowed and son fatherless. [[Alternative Character Interpretation|Assuming he wasn't using that as an excuse]].}}
* [[Master of Illusion]]: Illusion is his favored school. He's good enough to fool an entire group of paladins that he's really a being of light and good.
* [[Nominal Hero]]: He's only ''technically'' on the side of good; very, ''very'' technically. This is why he's only barely inside heaven at all; he doesn't really care about doing good, he just happens to have done good during his life.
Line 73 ⟶ 68:
* [[Posthumous Character]]
* [[Prematurely Bald]]
* [[Prophecy Twist]]: "When the goat turns red strikes true." Now, Eugene, ever heard of [[Wanton Cruelty to Thethe Common Comma|the comma]]?
* [[Spirit Advisor]]: To Roy in the beginning. He's not that tremendously helpful, though.
* [[Unfinished Business]]: That's why he's stuck on [[Fluffy Cloud Heaven]] and can't join the true afterlife.

* [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!]]: Her favorite way of getting attention -- but to her dismay it doesn't work on Durkon.
* [[Multicolored Hair]]

'''Alignment:''' [[Lawful Neutral]] }}
 
Tiamat's Oracle of the Sunken Valley is a snarky kobold with a dislike for Belkar specifically and pretty much everyone in general.
 
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: It takes him all of maybe three minutes. Being an oracle, he sets up his resurrections in advance, down to the minute of death.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Death Is Cheap]]: But painful.
{{quote| '''Oracle:''' I think the halfling ''dulls his blades'' just to make it hurt more.}}
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Everyone Calls Him Oracle]]
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: "You mammals are disgusting..."
Line 191 ⟶ 181:
* [[Lizard Folk]]
* [[Mathematician's Answer]]: The Oracle's answers can be extremely literal, apparently deliberately. He gives one to Belkar, to the halfing's disgust. Roy is [[Genre Savvy]] enough to have a specifically-worded question prepared, to prevent the Oracle from doing this.
{{quote| '''Oracle:''' Hey, "in his throne room," was a perfectly legitimate answer to the question "Where is Xykon?" }}
* [[Medium Awareness]]: Higher than any other characters in the comic, which is saying something.
* [[Omniglot]]: A special case. He could tell what Haley was saying despite the [[Cypher Language]] because he can look into the future when the translations are included.
* [[Power Floats]]: During the oracular trance.
* [[Revenge]]: The town of LickMyOrangeBallsHalfling. Founded: Last week. Population: Just Enough.
{{quote| [[Funny Moments|"Go ahead, give them a good once-over!"]]}}
* [[Seers]]
* [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy]]

== Qarr ==
=== Qarr ===
 
{{quote| ''"See, the first lesson of being 18-inches tall is: Find someone more powerful than you are, and glue your lips to their ass."''}}
 
{{quote| '''Race:''' Imp<br />
'''Gender:''' None<br />
'''Class:''' Sorcerer<br />
'''Alignment:''' [[Lawful Evil]] }}
 
Line 218 ⟶ 207:
* [[Ambition Is Evil]]: Being a go-getter is the reason the IFCC hired him.
* [[Charm Person|Charm Monsters]]
* [[Deal Withwith the Devil]]: Tries to make a simple one with V -- he would give him/her tips on evil spell components in exchange for helping him find an evil artifact. {{spoiler|However, he does end up being the link to V's actual deal.}}
* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: If he was a decent advisor to Kubota, Qarr has much less success in tempting the heroic types. He nearly gets disintegrated by Vaarsuvius for his effort, and later, attempting to bargain with Blackwing, all he manages is leaking out vital information to the smarter bird.
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Counterpart]]: The literal devil to Blackwing's "[[The Conscience|good angel]]".}}
Line 235 ⟶ 224:
 
== Julio Scoundrél ==
=== Julio Scoundrél ===
 
{{quote| ''"So, now's probably a good time to mention that I'm a wanted criminal in Azure City. I admit to nothing, but I have it on good authority that there are several attractive young heiresses in this town that are quite shamefully lax in securing their most valuable jewelry."''}}
 
{{quote| '''Race:''' Human<br />
'''Gender:''' Male<br />
'''Class:''' Dashing Swordsman<br />
'''Alignment:''' [[Chaotic Good]] }}
<!-- %% Please stop edit-warring over this alignment. He is the poster-boy for the Loveable Rogue, thus certainly intended to be chaotic good by the author. And stealing is a chaotic act, not an evil act, especially since he clearly implied nobody was hurt. Or else Haley would be Chaotic Evil already. -->
 
A swashbuckling adventurer who takes Elan briefly under his wing.
 
* [[Casanova]]: He has a son and/or daughter in every port of the continent.
* [[Cool Airship]]: His ship, the ''Mechane'' -- which looks exactly like the ''Blackjack'' from ''[[Final Fantasy VI (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VI]]''.
* [[Famed in Story]]
* [[Genre Savvy]]
Line 256 ⟶ 243:
* [[Mentors]]
* [[Mentor Occupational Hazard]]: He's [[Genre Savvy]] enough to try to avoid this.
{{quote| '''Julio:''' Well, as an older mentor figure, the most likely scenario is that I'd return only to be randomly killed by an enemy of yours so that you can cradle my dying body while swearing revenge -- so don't take it personally if I say that I sincerely hope we never cross paths again.}}
* [[The Obi-Wan]]: His role in the story, though as a character he's basically Han.
* [[Prestige Class]]: Dashing Swordman
* [[Put Onon a Bus|Put on an Airship]]: Deliberately, see above.
* [[Royal Rapier]]
* [[Sky Pirate]]
Line 265 ⟶ 252:

{{quote| ''"I am sure it will be well-received when your Other Parent finishes mastering the way of magic and comes home. Now go wash up, both of you. Lunch is ready."''}}
 
{{quote| '''Race:''' Elf<br />
'''Gender:''' Unknown<br />
'''Class:''' Unknown (probably Commoner or Expert)<br />
'''Alignment:''' Unknown }}
 
Line 286 ⟶ 272:
 
== Team Peregrine ==
=== Team Peregrine ===
 
{{quote| ''"Team Peregrine to Elven Command: covert insertion succesfulsuccessful. Will penetrate Cloistered territory on foot and rendezvous with designee 'Thanh' to coordinate further insertions. Liberation: commencing."''}}
 
{{quote| '''Race:''' Elves<br />
'''Gender:''' Varies<br />
'''Class:''' Varies<br />
'''Alignment:''' Unknown }}
 
Line 313 ⟶ 298:
* [[Shoot the Dog]]: The Azurites are unwilling to kill hapless civilians in their fights. Team Peregrine is not.
* {{spoiler|[[Total Party Kill]]: The wizard and cleric are killed off-panel by horned devils, and the Commander and Lieutenant are imploded by Redcloak.}}
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: One of the Azure City Resistance members is quite disturbed by the commander's ruthlessness. [[Can't Argue Withwith Elves|Another finds it awesome.]]
<!-- %% WorfEffect: This tropes is for badass character(s) *regularly* beaten by the bad guys. Does not apply here, at all. -->
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Or white hair, or pink hair...
 
 
== The Lawyers ==
=== The Lawyers ===
 
{{quote| ''"Get back! I have a restraining order and I'm not afraid to use it!"''}}
 
{{quote| '''Race:''' Humans<br />
'''Gender:''' Male<br />
'''Class:''' n/a<br />
'''Alignment:''' [[Lawful Neutral]] }}
 
Line 334 ⟶ 317:
* [[The Comically Serious]]: Jones
* [[Cuteness Proximity]]:
{{quote| '''Rodriguez:''' Ohmygod!!! You have a kitty!!!}}
* [[HilaritySued Suesfor Superheroics]]: It's their main role.
* [[I've Got an X Andand I'm Not Afraid Toto Use It]]: The above quote by Mr. Jones.
* [[No Fourth Wall]]: All of the characters are aware of the fourth wall, but the lawyers are explicitly from outside the comic strip. They were originally introduced for the purpose of carrying off anything that might be a violation of copyright (including a Mind Flayer and a Drizzt clone).
* [[Out of Focus]]
Line 342 ⟶ 325:
 
== The Flumphs ==
=== The Flumphs ===
 
{{quote| ''"...and ever since then, I've felt like... I don't know, like just I'm a... a minor character in, you know, someone else's story."''}}
 
{{quote| '''Race:''' Flumphs<br />
'''Gender:''' Unknown<br />
'''Class:''' n/a<br />
'''Alignment:''' [[Lawful Good]] }}
 
Line 354 ⟶ 336:
 
* [[The Chew Toy]]: They seem to exist solely as landing cushions for the main characters.
** Which was exactly what the Flumphs's role was in ''D&D'' 1st edition.
* [[Living Crashpad]]: Their lot in life.
* [[Recurring Extra]]
