{{quote|''"I just don't understand all the violence. I'll admit that I got caught up in the thrill of it all a few times, but I just can't stomach the idea of willfully deciding to end someone's life.''"}}
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]]
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.
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."''}}
Line 54 ⟶ 49:
'''Gender:''' Male
'''Class:''' Wizard (illusionist)
'''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.

{{quote|''"I can feel my Coolness Factor dropping just by being in the same room as these dorks."''}}
Line 95 ⟶ 89:
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]
* [[Bratty Teenage Daughter]]
* [[Character Alignment]]: [[True Neutral]] ("[[Double Entendre|I go both ways.]]")
* [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!]]: Her favorite way of getting attention -- but to her dismay it doesn't work on Durkon.
* [[Multicolored Hair]]

{{quote|''"This is the afterlife, Roy, honey. We all appear as our ideal version of ourselves, and I guess I never stopped thinking of myself as the 19-year-old looker who had never even heard the name 'Eugene Greenhilt'."''}}

== The Oracle ==
=== The Oracle ===
 
{{quote|''"Geez, I can peer into the murky depths of the future, and yet I always seem to get interrupted during bath time."''}}
Line 177 ⟶ 167:
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.
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.

{{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."''}}

=== 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."''}}
Line 243 ⟶ 231:
'''Class:''' Dashing Swordsman
'''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.

{{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."''}}

== 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
Line 314 ⟶ 299:
* {{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 with 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!"''}}
Line 335 ⟶ 318:
* [[Cuteness Proximity]]:
{{quote|'''Rodriguez:''' Ohmygod!!! You have a kitty!!!}}
* [[HilaritySued Suesfor Superheroics]]: It's their main role.
* [[I've Got an X and I'm Not Afraid to 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).
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."''}}
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]]
