2
3	The ''Roleplay/{{AJCO}}'' servers have many characters, who tend to fall into one of five factions: The State, Castle Crew, Katton, Border Machinists or Neutral (although Katton and Machinist people can also be considered as 'neutrals').
4	----
5	[[foldercontrol]]
6
7	[[folder:The State]]
8
9	!!Laurence Fairfax ([-Aimie_Jane-])
10	A Citizen of the State, FAIR-CO's esteemed leader and patriarch.
11	----
12	* FluffyTheTerrible: Fairfax's dogs - vicious dobermans that terrify the hell out of almost everyone in the facility - have names like "Princess" and "Missy".
13	* RightHandAttackDog: The aforementioned dobermans. However, they won't attack if you aren't scared of them, and can in fact be quite playful.
14
15	!!Breyos ([-Breyos-])
16	A Citizen of the State who previously had his own museum before becoming a member of the Silo. Now works at FAIR-CO.
17	----
18	* BreakTheHaughty:
19	** After acting like a jerk to everyone connected to Holar and failing to make the connection between him and A_J, he then proceeded to refer to the dead dog as 'it' in front of her. He was rewarded with a face full of highly infectious wither samples for his efforts and seems to have been humbled for it.
20	** He was 'recommitted' to AJCO while in the Silo via Friendship Chamber.
21	** He was 'fired' and 're-hired' as the Liason Officer - the position that makes him responsible for the actions of the other people ''not'' in AJCO. The same people who mostly hate his guts.
22	* TheChewToy: He's been beaten up, intimidated and borderline-tortured more than pretty much any character on the server. He seems to be able to [[MadeOfIron take it quite well]], as evidenced by the fact that he's still standing. To date he has suffered from:
23	** Having his eye infected with Wither sample and then amputated.
24	** The threat of having his ''remaining'' eye removed using chemicals.
25	** His pride-and-joy museum getting wrecked by nuclear fallout.
26	** Having his knuckles smashed by A_J's baton.
27	** Being punched in the head by a cyborg.
28	** Left in a Friendship Chamber he believed was going to boil him alive.
29	** Slammed into the Friendship Chamber chair by two different people on two separate occasions.
30	** Having to tolerate all the nonsense that goes on in the Silo, even if he contributes to some of it.
31	* EyeScream: The aforementioned wither sample infected his face, particularly his eye. Not only that, when he let Clovis remove it he opted to stay conscious for the whole thing.
32	* {{Jerkass}}: He seems to enjoy making life unpleasant for... well, everyone that isn't himself.
33	* PromotedToScapegoat: After [[spoiler: A_J and the ''last'' person to have the position are presumed dead]], Pythos promotes Breyos to be the Liaison Officer of the Silo. This means that any misbehaviour by the Castle Crew or neutrals will mean ''he'' is punished, and unlike Egg they don't like him at all. Fortunately for him, they get to leave before they have a chance to cause him any trouble.
34	* SilverFox: He's 53, greying, and all the more attractive for it.
35
36	!!Clovis ([-Bonsai-])
37	Medical doctor, owned and ran her own clinic but now works for A_J.
38	----
39	* AlienAmongUs: She looks entirely human, and appears to be the only one of her kind.
40	* DeadpanSnarker: She has quite the attitude, and knows she can get away with it because she's the only person around with any medical expertise.
41	* HeroicBSOD: After learning of her wife's death, proceeded to shut herself away from the world and snap at anyone who came close, physically hurting Nights.
42	%%* PlantAliens: Not as obvious as Kube.
43	%%* PlantPerson: See PlantAliens above.
44	* SecretStabWound: On her back - she took ambrosia to save her life but the wound itself is in a constant state of ripping open and knitting itself back together.
45
46	!!C_C ([-Aimie_Jane-])
47	Fairfax's second in command and leader of the Clerks.
48	----
49	* {{Clerk}}: As stated above, C_C is the leader of an entire group of these and enjoys a great deal of power because of it.
50	* ObstructiveBureaucrat: The poster child, and certainly the most obstructive the server has ever seen.
51
52	!!Captain S_R ([-Entomancy-])
53	Captain of the Mothermen.
54	----
55	* HairTriggerTemper: S_R is very, ''very'' easy to wind up, and it's a very, ''very'' bad idea to do so unless you're 100% certain you can get away with it.
56	* MeaningfulAppearance: He has a form of vitiligo which only manifests when he's injured, and evidently at some point he must have sustained an injury to the head as a large strip of his otherwise dark brown hair is bleach blond.
57	* PaintedOnPants: A rare male example. They are painfully tight-looking, though it doesn't seem to phase him.
58	* SirSwearsALot: Just about manages to keep it in check when he's talking to Fairfax but if you're not Fairfax, expect the full swearing experience when conversing with S_R.
59
60	!!Commander R_V ([-Ravsy_-])
61	Commander of a crashed State satellite, now under Fairfax's command.
62	----
63	%%* ImAHumanitarian: Implied.
64	* MadeOfIron: His ship fell thousands of miles and crashed into the planet at high speed into a frozen sea, yet he escaped with nothing more than a small wound on his arm!
65	* NoPartyLikeADonnerParty: The unfortunate fate of his crew. [[spoiler: More unfortunate yet is that he ''enjoyed it''.]]
66
67	!!C_K ([-magpiemind-])
68	A member of the Mothermen, manipulated by Fairfax.
69	----
70	* TheBerserker: Not willingly, however. His berserker mode is triggered by a code phrase being spoken in his presence, usually to either take out or scare the hell out of other people.
71	* FluffyTamer: He's one of the few people who isn't scared of Fairfax's hounds and frequently prefers their company to that of other people. They seem to like him, too.
72
73	!!Chase Halstead ([-Skekfaev-])
74	Fairfax's left-hand woman, who spends most of her time down on the dreaded Level 6.
75	----
76	* FacialHorror: Though she covers it up in a manner similar to Clovis.
77	* ForScience: Why was Chase recruited into Fairco? For Science!
78	* Room101: Or Level 6 in Fairco, Chase's domain.
79	* SwissArmyAppendage: While not able to transform, Chase has several useful features built into her bionic arm.
80
81	!!Sam "Blondie" Hawkins ([-[=EggplantWitch=]-])
82	----
83	* EarnedStripes: He has three times as many stripes on his epaulettes as his underlings, earned back in his facility prior to FAIR-CO.
84	* AFatherToHisMen: Blondie is fiercely protective of A_C and D_C, his engineers and the only surviving members of his previous facility.
85	* TheGadfly: At least towards S_R, who he is excessively nice to simply because he knows it annoys the hell out of him ''and there's nothing he can do about it''.
86	%%* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A male example, and ticking all the boxes typical to one.
87	* LargeHam: A little bit. It either helps to contribute to how charming he is or how annoying he is depending on who you ask.
88	* ObfuscatingStupidity: He dials up his normal loud, amiable persona up to 11 when around other people to deliberately make them underestimate him.
89
90	!!N_X (Nix) ([-Breyos-])
91	The facility's vetinarian and Clovis' medical aide.
92	----
93	* TheSpeechless: He communicates through cards written for him by other people, because [[spoiler: his teeth have been welded shut for previous disobedience]].
94	* TokenGoodTeammate: He isn't the only good person in FAIR-CO, but he does stick out as being a nice guy among Wards.
95
96	!!I_O ([-Ravsy_-])
97	An Unward who now acts as a messenger within the facility.
98	----
99	* ButtMonkey: He gets kicked about even more than most Unwards by the Clerks.
100	[[/folder]]
101
102	[[folder:The Castle Crew]]
103	!!The group as a whole:
104	* ALighterShadeOfGrey: When analysed individually they're not much better than AJCO at all - several of their members are outright murderers - but they still qualify as this since several ''other'' members (notably Blue and formerly Egg) are the least evil characters on the whole server.
105	* BadassCrew: Asides from the obvious fact that they are a crew, each and every one of them is capable of having moments of utter badassery. Whether it be something as dramatic as taking a stand against AJCO/Pi-TEC, summoning a demon (and surviving), being a master of the arcane, being a BadassPacifist or at times simply ''being alive'' after all that's happened. They're quite a force to be reckoned with.
106	* BigFancyCastle: Nights and her crew always build and reside in one of these, the most recent being [=Ravenhold Castle=]
107	* BlindObedience: Despite not being the most tight-knit group of people and despite having very different goals, they all remain loyal to one another no matter what - even when it seems completely unreasonable. Somewhat questionable in the case of Krauzer and his loyalty to Nights, both before and during the Silo Week. [[spoiler:He even tried to get himself elected new Crew leader. At the same time Will was also trying to take the same role, but his loyalty is less in question]].
108	* CommLinks: Since the Crew's creation Nights has always kept them well-connected with earpieces and headsets, usually far too small to be of any bother but just large enough to be noticeable. They are occasionally helpful for other things, such as recording a conversation or alerting others of the fact that one of their own has been captured.
109	* ConfusionFu: They're a disorganised bunch of mages, all wielding different types of magic and unable to decide which is the most efficient. When up against the highly structured but magically inept AJCO they may be able to use this to their advantage.
110	* DeadlyGas: Ravenhold Castle has been plagued by gas both in character and out.
111	* ElaborateUndergroundBase: The Crew briefly inhabited a naturally-occurring dungeon that served as one of these while they constructed Ravenhold.
112	* FireForgedFriends: Debatable, given that the first Crew came together after leaving AJCO and the addition of new members has led to some conflicts of interest at times. The one thing they share though is that they dislike A_J and she dislikes them!
113	* HonorBeforeReason: The Crew have a tendency to attempt to rescue or help anyone in need (even A_J), whether or not that is in their best interest or the party in question wants help.
114	* MagicMisfire: The Castle Mages are a walking example. It would be easier to count the number of times their magic worked the way it was intended than the times it didn't!
115	* OminousFloatingCastle: The second castle build by the Castle Crew was one of these.
116	* VoodooDoll: You're unlikely to find any outside of Curls and Lavender's magic.
117
118	!!Nights ([-42nights-])
119	Leader and founder of the Castle Crew, was made to serve A_J again for a while but was 'freed'.
120	----
121	* AntiHero: She's generally the 'good' to A_J's 'evil' but shares the same scientific fascination. She has in the past captured and tortured Frances just to see what made her tick.
122	* ExaltedTorturer: She isn't presented as being a hero ''at all'' (because she isn't), but she's still ever-so-slightly lighter than A_J...but only just.
123	* ForgetsToEat: Eating and sleeping really aren't high up on her list of priorities, not when there's so much other stuff to do.
124	* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Said to allow the wearer to read electrical currents.
125	* HatesBeingTouched: Freaked out when hugged by Blue, though she doesn't mind it so much if she's the one who initiates the contact.
126	* IronLady: The most indestructible member of the Crew, which is why she's in charge. As the trope suggests, she's generally pretty stoic.
127	* MarkOfShame: [[spoiler: Has the letters '4' and '2' branded on her face, a practice only given to slaves of the State.]]
128	* PerpetualFrowner: Has a sense of humour, it just doesn't get seen very often.
129
130	!!Curls ([-curls101-])
131	One of Nights' second-in-commands. Witch.
132	----
133	* BlackMagic: An expert. Her mood and temperament depends on what kind of magic she's infused herself with.
134	* ForgetsToEat: Much like Nights, she gets wrapped up in her work and just doesn't place much importance on the act of sitting down and eating.
135	* PowerGlows: Her eyes glow when she's using or infusing herself with strong magic.
136	* SummoningRitual: Curls has made numerous attempts at them. The first time she accidentally summoned an evil ghost when she was trying to get a friendly spirit, and the second time she summoned Finn and couldn't send him back. The others are starting to get rather fed up of it.
137
138	!!Lavender ([=LavenderWolf=])
139	Crew. Also a pirate.
140	----
141	%%* APirate400YearsTooLate
142	* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: She's reeled it in the past few months, but when she first arrived at AJCO she was ''all'' about this trope.
143
144	!!Blue ([-blueskywolf09-])
145	Arcane/Magicka magewolf with wings, blue fur, and a garden.
146	----
147	* ClipItsWings: Has a beautifully fluffy white pair of wings but can't use them due to previous trauma
148	* CryIntoChest: With Nights [[spoiler:upon learning of Holar's death]]
149	* CuddleBug: Loves to hug other people. 9 times out of 10, the recipient does not reciprocate.
150	* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When there's a blood moon out, run away.
151	* {{Lunacy}}: Full Moons aren't that bad, just some sporadic magic [[spoiler: We don't talk about Blood Moons.]]
152	* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Curls and Nights have both been hugged more than once and have both made it quite clear they don't enjoy it.
153	* PowerGlows: Her eyes glow and change when there's a blood moon out.
154	* WingedHumanoid: She's an anthropomorphic wolf with wings. That's all there is to it.
155	* WolfMan: Big blue wolf with big white wings.
156
157	!!Krauzer ([-krauzer168-])
158	Upstart Thaumaturge.
159	----
160	* BlackMage: The most violent and aggressive member of the crew, with a long list of magical spells and weapons to help him fulfill this role.
161	%%* BlackMagic: Dabbles in this, though not as much as Curls.
162	* DeniedFoodAsPunishment: After threatening her and the rest of the crew, Nights locked Krauzer in his room and gives him a limited supply of water and no food for three days. It's up there among the darker things she's done, though the other mages used magic to sneak food to him.
163	* MagicStaff: Hardly ever seen without his.
164	* PowerGlows: Like Blue, Curls and pretty much all the other mages, his eyes flash when he's using great power.
165	* TokenEvilTeammate: Alright, so it might not be fair to use words like 'good' or 'evil' in a world of GreyAndGrayMorality, but if it ''was'' Krauzer would definitely be the evil teammate. He pushes Nights so far she locks him up until he's learnt his lesson (it didn't work).
166
167	!!Lartin ([=LartinC=])
168	Formerly part of the Deserters. Gunman.
169	----
170	* TheGunslinger: As a former soldier he is the Deserters' gun specialist. Bordering on a GunNut.
171	* TokenGoodTeammate: Not that every other Deserter is 'evil' as such, but he does seem to have a sense of decency about him that stands out.
172	[[/folder]]
173
174	[[folder:Katton]]
175	!!As a whole:
176	* CherryBlossom: Have been a defining feature of it ever since it was first created, never mind the fact that it is a ''water village''.
177	* CloseKnitCommunity: Seven people live in Katton presently - Kaja, its mayor, Crez, Lorelei Vinnie, Kube, Egg, and Cain. They get along rather well.
178	* Really700YearsOld: Both Kaja ''and'' Crez are much, much older than they look (especially Kaja, who is bordering-on-ancient). Crez, however, is actually more like 500 (and has no idea of it).
179
180	!!Kajasta ([-catterfly-])
181	Angel. Mayor of Katton.
182	----
183	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Normally a kind, generous and almost motherly figure but can drop the 'humanoid' act at a moment's notice and ''tear you apart''. A_J found this out the hard way after she [[spoiler: revealed the fact that Egg was to be expelled from the Silo into the irradiated land above]], and became the first person to see Kaja in her true form. Needless to say, she was a little shaken from the experience.
184	* BurningWithAnger: She's very difficult to provoke into anger, being a kind and compassionate soul, but when pushed far enough the delicate halo shining above her head will burst into vicious flames.
185	%%* TheCaretaker: To ''everyone''.
186	* EyesDoNotBelongThere: In her [[EldritchAbomination true form]]. She has several eyes on her face, many on her back and torso as well as plenty along her arms.
187	%%* GuardianAngel: Earned it through training.
188	* HolyHalo: Hers is very pale purple and has a pattern to it, rather than just being a bright light emanating from her head.
189	* InvisibleToNormals: She appears humanoid only to those who aren't also angels or demons. Finn is the only one that sees her in her true form all the time.
190	* MamaBear: She offers her protection to anyone who asks or needs it and sometimes takes people under her wing simply because she likes them. Do not threaten these people. She will destroy you.
191	* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Is a Zoroastrian/Persion angel with a double set of purple wings.
192	* PowerGlows: The angrier she gets the brighter her halo glows, until it is literally ghostly fire.
193	* {{Protectorate}}: She ''will'' help other people if they ask for it, but she's not going to deliberately go out looking for trouble to ease unless trouble comes to Katton.
194	* WindFromBeneathMyWings: She can do this with her enormous wings.
195	%%* WingedHumanoid: Obviously!
196
197	!!Crez ([-crezentials-])
198	Kaja's second-in-command. Shady potions merchant.
199	----
200	* AmnesiacDissonance: He exists as himself in different timelines, and can sometimes remember parts. It's not always pleasant.
201	* CombatPragmatist: Whatever is needed to win a fight, he will do.
202	* CowardlyLion: Rarely volunteers to do things that require courage but is still a competent member of the investigation team, and never ''had'' to go with them in the first place.
203	* DoubleConsciousness: He can remember things from other timelines he's been in/is in.
204	* FunctionalAddict: It's a minor addiction, but his addiction to drinking various types of blood is an addiction nonetheless. It doesn't really show.
205	* IntrepidMerchant: Much like Dell, Crez is a master of brewing potions. He also has somewhat suspect methods, but never goes ''too'' far.
206
207	!!Lorelei ([-cheesehelmet-])
208	Runs a bar.
209	----
210	* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Swans around in make-up and high heels and never looks anything less than absolutely gorgeous.
211
212	!!Egg ([-[=EggplantWitch=]-])
213	Teenage prosecutor, one of the original three founders of the Castle Crew.
214	----
215	* BreakTheCutie: She's had more than her fair share of {{Heroic BSOD}}s considering her age, but it [[TheDeterminator never sticks for longer than a couple of months.]]
216	* BunnyEarsLawyer:
217	** Despite being an awkward teenager who never had any formal legal training, she proved to be surprisingly competent [[spoiler: to the extent that she beat both Py and A_J, who were prepared to cheat, in the trial.]]
218	** She's also been shown to be quite a good diplomat, acting as the Castle Crew ambassador to other factions. Considering her incompetence when it comes to socialising, this is doubly surprising.
219	* CreepyChild: Was seen as one by the villagers who lived in her hometown for her ability to [[spoiler: see and talk with ghosts]], leading to an AllOfTheOtherReindeer situation. Has now grown out of it, not least because no one on the server is actually all that bothered by it.
220	* CrusadingLawyer: Took on both Cameo's case and Holar's case, not because either of them wanted her to, but because it was the right thing to do.
221	* CrushBlush: Egg normally just stammers due to being even more nervous than usual, but has been known to go red when around [[InterspeciesRomance Kube]].
222	-->'''<Kube>''' looks at Egg fondly
223	-->'''<Kube>''' brushes a strand of hair from her face
224	-->'''<Kube>''' Told you I’d be fine…
225	-->Egg blushes
226	* DarkIsNotEvil: Her favourite colours are black and dark purple, both symbolically 'evil' colours.
227	* DoNotCallMePaul: She's only ever referred to as Egg or some affectionate deviation thereof (Eggo, Eggy, etc). This is because she hates her real name.
228	%%* DorkKnight: A female example, see SociallyAwkwardHero below.
229	* EmbarrassingFirstName: Revealed her full name during the end of the Reflection arc, when [[spoiler: trying to elect herself as the new Warden to prevent the facility from being nuked with her in it.]] It's 'Eglatine Wynne'. A_J claimed later to have misheard it as 'a guillotine'. Eglatine isn't too bad all things considered, but it's the closest thing she has to a BerserkButton.
230	%%* ForGreatJustice: Her main motivation.
231	* FriendlessBackground: There weren't a lot of other children in her home village anyway, and following her [[spoiler: possession by a ghost]] she was isolated from them by her mother. She confesses to Kube long before they're really friends that she's never had a best friend in her entire life.
232	* GiverOfLameNames: Her bow is called Thing For Shooting.
233	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Though her morality has never changed, she's gone from AJCO to Castle to neutral to the Castle and so on so, so many times. Seems as though she has left the Crew for good following the Silo mini-arc to live with the teens in Katton.
234	* ICallItVera: Names all her weapons and most of her tools with [[GiverOfLameNames extremely descriptive but mundane names]].
235	* InterspeciesRomance: With Kube, a plant alien. As she's asexual and they're beesexual it's a pretty tame relationship.
236	* ISeeDeadPeople: Unless they're actively trying to hide from her, she can see ghosts (which most people can't at all). It's the only magical ability she has.
237	* LovableCoward: Before her CharacterDevelopment this trope fitted her like a glove - likely to run away or leap into the nearest body of water large enough to hold her at the first sign of trouble, and unlikely to stand up for herself or anyone else. Of course, [[TookALevelInBadass that's all changed now.]]
238	* NiceGirl: Is unfailingly helpful, open and honest to everyone she meets. She even offered cake to the ''Auditor''.
239	* ProphetEyes: While her eyes are normally a perfectly ordinary brown, they will turn completely white [[spoiler: if she is possessed by a ghost, regardless of whether they are malevolent or not.]]
240	* ShrinkingViolet: While it may have been an act to begin with, there's not much left of the Castle Crew's LargeHam thaumaturge anymore. The repetitive {{Heroic BSOD}}s are to blame for this, though in a somewhat subversion she also becomes braver and braver with every BSOD she ''recovers'' from.
241	* SociallyAwkwardHero: The most outstanding example of several. She tries so hard. Normally this is seen as an endearing trait at best and a mildly irritating one at worst, but her lack of skill eventually provokes Kube, one of her friends, into [[GetOut demanding that she leave the room before she says anything]] ''[[GetOut more]]'' [[GetOut that she'd regret.]]
242	* StutterStop: She has a mild st-stammer that only really manifests itself very occasionally as a repeated syllable or, or word. It decreases to almost nonexistent levels when she's talking to people she's very comfortable with, or when she's ''really'' ranting.
243	* TalkingYourWayOut: An odd example as she wasn't the one who was captured, Vinnie was - she persuaded A_J to let her in, and then persuaded A_J to let ''them'' out. And it worked. The Auditor was quite angry when she found out; so angry that a [[http://outofcontextajco.tumblr.com/post/99913058475 well-timed server crash]] was attributed to the Auditor's ''rage'' by a few people outside of RP.
244	* TokenGoodTeammate: As pretty much everyone else in the Crew (bar perhaps Blue) has ''extremely'' dodgy morals at times, she couldn't avoid this particular trope. Also applied to her when she worked for AJCO, even if she was much less likely to act on it then.
245	* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Was forced to adopt levels of reasoning and caution well beyond her age in order to survive after she ran away from home, and it's stayed that way ever since. Contrast with [[BrattyHalfPint Vinnie, her superior in age but perhaps not maturity.]]
246
247	!!Vinnie ([-cameo_vincenti-])
248	Stranded teenager from outer space
249	----
250	* AlienAmongUs: They're a human, but since they come from outer space they count as this.
251	* BrattyHalfPint: Nice to their friends, terrified of their superiors and a ''complete'' brat to everyone else.
252	* InterspeciesFriendship: Their best friend is Kube, a [[PlantAliens plant alien.]]
253	* MotorMouth: Once they get going, they're hard to stop. They often say far, far too much.
254	* NervousWreck: Vinnie has some highly pronounced anxiety
255	* RaisedByWolves: Was raised and educated in an academy filled with PlantAliens like Kube. It is unknown what happened to their birth parents.
256	* TheStoner: Considers hemp to be entirely good for them. When they were questioned on this by Egg, they were actively confused.
257	--> '''<Egg>''': That stuff isn't very good for you, you know.\
258	'''<Vinnie>''': You kidding? It's like a serving of vegetables.
259	%%* ThoseTwoGuys: With Kube.
260
261	!!Kube ([-zeekubeast-])
262	Stranded teenage plant-alien
263	----
264	* BuffySpeak: A regular feature of their dialogue. They do their best.
265	* HumanoidAliens: They're humanoid in shape - two legs, two arms, one head etc - but they have three bright pink eyes, thick green skin covered in porcupine-like spines and capable of photosynthesis, carnivore teeth and a vine-like gecko tongue.
266	* HeadbuttOfLove: Kube occasionally does this to Egg, as they have to wear a gas mask and can't actually kiss her.
267	* InterspeciesFriendship: Their best friend is Vinnie, a human.
268	* InterspeciesRomance: With Egg, also a human.
269	* LeeroyJenkins: The moment something exciting starts to happen, they will rush in and do their best to make it even ''more'' chaotic.
270	* MouthyKid: If Vinnie is a BrattyHalfPint and Egg is [[WiseBeyondTheirYears Wise Beyond Her Years]], Kube is this trope in comparison. Not as subdued as Egg, but not as deliberately antagonistic as Vinnie.
271	* ObfuscatingStupidity: Considering their demeanor it would be easy to assume they were unintelligent and lazy, but they've shown that they know a fair amount about inter-galactic politics and have learnt about human culture astonishingly quickly.
272	* PlantAliens: Can't breathe the air that everyone else does due to the low percentages of carbon dioxide, and blushes in the presence of flowers.
273	* SirSwearsALot: Notably more foul-mouthed than their colleague.
274	* TheStoner: Crash-landed near Katton high on 'hemp' and craves the high when they get stressed.
275	%%* ThoseTwoGuys: With Vinnie
276
277	!!Requiem ([-celestialrequiem-])
278	A_J's former right hand woman. A Thaumaturge, and has connections to Flux and Vis.
279	----
280	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Egg was the only person to show genuine concern for her following [[spoiler: the death of the Doctor]]. As a result, she travels to Katton in search of Egg when she decides to finally quit AJCO.
281	* CoveredInScars: There are scars all over her body, including her face. Most are from her life as a slave in her early years, but there's also that time A_J carved her initials into Req's back.
282	* EnigmaticMinion: Gets on with her work quietly in the background, and apart from that not much else is known about her other than the fact that she has no morality. She just follows A_J.
283	* {{Fingore}}: Missing two of her fingers.
284	* FriendToBugs: She has done some very painful things to people who have [[BerserkButton hurt her insects.]]
285	* GrowBeyondTheirProgramming: To an extent, as she isn't a machine.
286	* MadeOfMagic: And able to summon it when she gets really, really mad.
287	* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Completely loyal to A_J no matter what. Requiem was the only person to defend her at The Trial
288	%%* MysticalWhiteHair
289
290	!!Adrian Telepher ([-the_cheesy_one-])
291	'State inspector' who has an apparent interest in Breyos
292	----
293	* ObstructiveBureaucrat: As an inspector of the State [[spoiler:(except not really)]], he has less power than an Auditor and strikes annoyance into the hearts of Wards rather than fear. The fussy little moustache completes the look.
294	[[/folder]]
295
296	[[folder:Border Machinists]]
297	!!Dickie (Dickie_)
298	----
299	* GentlemanThief: What he wants to be. He's just a bit too fumbling to make the cut.
300	* HaveAGayOldTime: Literally everything he says, plus the fact that his name is 'Dickie' and he calls himself ''Galloping Dick''. Most of the things he says would've been acceptable about 200 years ago. He just doesn't seem to realise he's not in that era, and the woman he just called a 'fair maiden' is succumbing to Void sickness and would probably put a crossbow through his eye socket if she had the chance.
301	* TheHighwayMan: Clearly styles himself on the classy, sophisticated highwaymen of old. As mentioned above, however, he's just not the dashing type.
302
303	!!Will ([-heggers-])
304	One of the original three founders of the Castle Crew and formerly its head engineer.
305	----
306	* TheEngineer: While Nights takes this title for herself these days, he is responsible for the creation and upkeep for almost every machine in the Castle and its surrounding complex. He even has his own lab, with a giant solar dish outside.
307	* FieryRedhead: He's a touch on the HotBlooded side, prone to arguments (especially with fellow Crew member Krauzer) and very, very ginger.
308	* GadgeteerGenius: Finds machine work ridiculously easy and spends almost every waking hour attending to them.
309	* GeniusBruiser: Is ''the'' strongest human character on the entire server, and is definitely among the most intelligent to boot. Just how strong? Strong enough to knock a metal door off its hinges with his bare hands.
310	* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Has been known to lock himself in his lab for weeks on end and genuinely seems to enjoy the solitude, but can generally be relied upon to come forth and stand up for his friends if needs be.
311	* OnlySaneMan: With Egg's departure from the Crew and with Nights currently in AJCO, this role seems to have fallen to him by default.
312	* TechnoBabble: Do not ask for an explanation of his work unless you're prepared to listen to the consequences.
313	* WrenchWhack: His weapon of choice. He's currently working on his crude prototype 'butterfly wrench', a cross between a functional machine wrench and a decidedly more lethal butterfly knife.
314
315	%%!!Thyme ([=Chunk_a_Chunk=])
316
317	!!TYBALT ([=Toad37=])
318	Deserters' former robot member.
319	----
320	* BrainUploading: An AI-to-robot example. Turns out that to fix TYBALT up, Cain cannibalised their (defunct) FAC's AI system - an AI that could be described as somewhat sentient and having a virtual 'brain'.
321	* UnnecessarilyCreepyRobot: At least in the ways he acts sometimes. Prone to muttering and bringing people dead roses.
322	[[/folder]]
323
324	[[folder:Neutrals]]
325	!!Hector ([-silvermender-])
326	Chalkurite teenager with a bad attitude and giant hands.
327	----
328	* EyeScream: Became the second person in the span of a few days to suffer an eye-related injury from A_J (who pushed the cigar he'd been smoking into his eye). Fortunately for him, he could simply regenerate it after a few days - rather startling Req in the process.
329	* OurMonstersAreWeird: As far as anyone can tell he's part of some odd nuclear-powered race that can shapeshift into huge lizard monsters. And have huge hands for smashing things with.
330
331	!!Socks ([-noleftsock-])
332	----
333	* CrazyCatLady: The only creatures that live anywhere near her are her multitude of pet cats.
334	* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Lives all alone, a long way away from anyone else and has no allegiance to any particular faction. But she's a good person, with a strong sense of right and wrong.
335
336	!!CB ([-[=CerebroBullet=]-])
337	A sophisticated kind of space alien elf man, on the fence about joining the Castle Crew
338	----
339	* AlienAmongUs: He looks rather like Ranger, who ''isn't'' an alien, and is the only one of his species around.
340	%%* SpaceElves: His species.
341
342	!!Unndis ([-Unndis-])
343	A thaumaturge living in a tower. Has been invited to the Crew but hasn't yet accepted.
344	----
345	* MadeOfMagic: Though less destructive than Req.
346	* SparkFairy: [[spoiler: Is technically a Wisp, though you wouldn't know it to look at her.]]
347
348	!!Cyborg ([=PredictedCyborg=])
349	A young female cyborg who has been shipwrecked for a few years before coming back to the mainland. Lives at the Beach Shack with Mei but more often or not is wandering somewhere on the mainland.
350	----
351	* BerserkButton: Has recently shown to have one when you mention anything about the State and their test subjects. [[spoiler:Because at some time before she was shipwrecked, she was one]].
352	* CloudCuckoolander: Living on your own on a jungle island for a few years makes you a bit strange.
353	* {{Cyborg}}: A given.
354	* ElectronicEyes: Her right eye is purple and cybernetic in contrast to her organic blue left eye.
355	* MsExposition: A minor example. She seems to be the one most often feeding news of the other side of the continent to the Castle Crew in their area due to the fact that she's that much of a wanderer. Very prone to chatter.
356	%%* TraumaInducedAmnesia: Possibly.
357	* WalkingTheEarth: Not constantly but does seem to have an inability to stay put too long in one place. She does actually have a proper 'home' though.
358
359	%%!!Kutya ([-bandetto-])
360	%%A young teen who turned up in the crater of FAC-91. Teamed up with Cyborg after Mei left.
361	%%----
362	%%* PsychoKnifeNut
363	[[/folder]]
364
365	[[folder:Others]]
366	!!A_J ([-Aimie_Jane-])
367	The usual leader of AJCO. Has had a few run-ins with the Void, [[spoiler:the latest of which has seen her vanish from the face of the planet alongside the Auditor.]]
368	----
369	* AxCrazy: Not immediately obvious, but she has her moments of SanitySlippage - the intensity varies from LaughingMad to ''blowing up the world'' because she lost a trial.
370	* BadBoss: Good bosses generally don't torture their employees from time to time. [[spoiler: Or outright murder them for their own gain.]]
371	* BlackEyesOfEvil: They were originally pale green, but one too many trips into the Void has made them completely black.
372	* DeadlyNosebleed: A side-effect of re-education, one that plagued A_J for quite some time. It occasionally re-emerges.
373	* FauxAffablyEvil: Treats her rivals with nothing but the highest degree of politeness and affability but in such a way that makes it very clear she does, in fact, think they are the scum of the earth.
374	* ForScience: Almost every decision A_J's ever made was made with 'For Science!' in mind; she even says it outright at times. For example, during the Trial:
375	-->'''Aimie_Jane''': I serve you all. For the greater good. In the name of progress. And science.
376	* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: In order to escape the consequences of the defeat [[spoiler: she suffered in court at the hands of Egg]] A_J blew a hole in the world and escaped into the next. And lost everything, not ''least'' her own facility, AJCO itself.
377	* LightIsNotGood: Has never worn anything but a crisp white labcoat to go with her pale blonde hair.
378	* MadScientist: Torture chambers, strange electrical devices, tanks of blood and Void matter are all commonplace features whenever she's left in charge of decoration.
379	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: A_J has a moment of realisation after she [[spoiler: forces Egg out of the bunker into the potentially irradiated poisonous wasteland above.]]
380	-->'''<Facilitator A_J>''' This is always how it ends. With our betters making an example of us.
381	-->'''<Facilitator A_J>''' … Why then…
382	-->'''<Facilitator A_J>''' Am I not content.
383	-->'''<Facilitator A_J>''' Why then do I feel a grave error has been made.
384	-->Aimie_Jane lays down the clipboard, finally
385	-->'''<Facilitator A_J>''' What has become of me.
386	* NeatFreak: Can usually be found tidying up her paperwork or hosing down the Friendship Chamber, even when it hasn't been used.
387	* NoNonsenseNemesis: She doesn't waste time gloating or dancing around sensitive issues like blood and guts and murder. She gets on with things.
388	* SoftSpokenSadist: Linked to FauxAffablyEvil - she never shouts or raises her voice. Unless she's [[AxCrazy really]] gone off the deep end.
389	%%* TheStarscream: To the Doctor [[spoiler: until she was re-educated]]
390	* VillainousBreakdown: Upon realising that she was going to be pronounced guilty at the end of the Trial To End All Days, she revealed that she’d loaded the courtroom with nukes, activated The Needle and blew everyone into yet another world. That’s breaking down with ''style''.
391	%%* VisionaryVillain: Before she started working for Pi-TEC.
392
393	!!The Auditor ([-Auditor_-])
394	Auditor from the State who apparently has been chasing A_J for a long while. Now vanished into the void alongside her prey.
395	----
396	* BigBad: When a villain comes along that terrifies even A_J, it's hard to see how she ''isn't'' this.
397	* BreakThemByTalking: Her favourite tactic. She's used it on both A_J and Egg, and has left both in tears.
398	%%* TheDreaded: And how!
399	* FacialHorror: Much of her lower face is black and wasted to dead-looking muscle, leaving her charred teeth exposed. Yet she can still talk and smoke, often at the same time.
400	%%* FourEyesZeroSoul: Linked to the below. In case you haven't guessed yet, she is ''terrifying''.
401	%%* ScaryShinyGlasses: Sports a pair.
402
403	!!Cameo Vincenti ([-cameo_vincenti-])
404	The Poet, the rose of AJCO. [[spoiler:Deceased]]
405	----
406	* AndIMustScream: Void!Cam's decaying, grey form when they CameBackWrong.
407
408	!!Finn ([-bandetto-])
409	Ice demon summoned from the Underdark by Curls.
410	----
411	%%* BlackEyesOfEvil: When demon-crazy, at least.
412	* BloodLust: The smell of blood drives him crazy, provoking him to attack people when in a normal state of mind he'd be too scared to even talk to them. [[spoiler: It eventually leads to Vinnie having their throat ripped out, and Dell having to amputate zir arm due to his bite.]]
413	* DudeLooksLikeALady: [[PrettyBoy He's a very pretty young demon.]] Who identifies as male, despite what other people think.
414	* AnIcePerson: Has some pretty powerful and extravagant powers - he may be able to control it if he concentrates, but even just leaning on a table will cover it in frost.
415	* OurDemonsAreDifferent: He's a fairly nice guy, for one thing, and for another he doesn't go in for the 'red skin, small horns and lots of fire' stuff.
416	* ToServeMan: His favorite food is [[spoiler: live human.]]
417	* WeaksauceWeakness: He's badly allergic to mistletoe and salt.
418
419	!!Golden ([-[=DrSharky=]-])
420	A soft-spoken black mage who drifted into town one day. Now deceased.
421	----
422	* BlackMage: A typical example; blue-robed and face cast in shadow.
423	* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: [[spoiler: Who would have thought they were Sharky's counterpart all along?]]
424
425	!!Dell ([-plaidlove-])
426	Potions merchant. Now left the lands to wander with zir friend Sharky.
427	----
428	* TheAlcoholic: Leans more towards zir potions but still falls into this category.
429	* BoozeBasedBuff: Dell takes Fire Resistance potions often, making fire and lava a no-biggie most of the time. This came particularly handy when a magic and potion experiment blew up, throwing zem into a pool of lava (and saving zem from being infected with taint).
430	* {{Fingore}}: In addition to horrible burns, Dell is missing two fingers on zir left hand thanks to Frances' trigger happiness.
431	* FormerTeenRebel: Had the brat hammered out of zem during zir apprenticeship.
432	%%* IntrepidMerchant: Formerly, before being dragged into another world.
433	* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Did this to Frances' painkillers in a poor attempt to make her a nonthreat.
434	* UnluckyEveryDude: Ze's surrounded by murderous maniacs, hostile robots, and stoned alien teenagers. Ze is also plagued by bad luck. It's pretty self-explanatory.
435	* WoundThatWillNotHeal: Zir left arm was in a constant state of healing and regeneration to avoid permanent nerve damage until [[spoiler: it got bitten off entirely.]]
436
437	!!Sharkbot ([-drsharky-])
438	A medical robot created by AJCO. Now wandering the lands with her friend Dell.
439	----
440	* AIIsACrapshoot: At the fault of her builders. She seeks to make sure humans do not build or get to define what makes a robot.
441	* ExtremeOmnisexual: So long as it doesn't have flesh, it's game.
442	* GoneHorriblyWrong: Initially created to be a medical bot, currently as far from a medical bot as one can be. When correct programming is installed, however, she CAN pull it off.
443	* PersonalityChip: Can feel human emotions and carry a conversation quite well, so it's fair to assume she has one of these. It's not necessarily a ''nice'' personality, that's all.
444	* {{Sexbot}}: While designed to be a medical robot, she ''was'' built by the all-female, mostly-gay AJCO.
445	* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Hates humans, particularly ones who create/control robots. Seems to tolerate Dell and maybe Egg, though.
446	%%* TVHeadRobot: Quite literally.
447
448	!!Edcat ([-untoldedman-])
449	Purple thaumatuge cat. Not what he seems. [[spoiler:Deceased]]
450	----
451	* CatFolk: A big purple cat.
452
453	!!Holar ([-holarctic-])
454	A_J's old Head of Security. [[spoiler:Deceased]]
455	----
456	* AddledAddict: Bonemeal and wither bones, [[spoiler: leading to his demise]].
457	* BeastMan: A large white-and-grey dog.
458	* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:As if going off the brink on drugs wasn't bad enough, he ended up dead.]]
459	%%* KickTheDog: A_J to Holar, all the time [[spoiler: while he was still alive]]
460	%%* PutOnABusToHell: Don't do drugs, kids.
461
462	!!Doctor Pi ([-pi_TEC-])
463	The local Warden of the State. Runs the Pi-TEC facility. [[spoiler:Deceased.]]
464	----
465	%%* CryIntoChest: [[spoiler: With A_J.]]
466	* DarkSecret: Where is the State? Why haven't they contacted her? Where are the classified files? What is written in them? Just what happened to this universe's A_J? ''How much is she hiding?'' [[spoiler:Now that some of the questions have been answered with the break-in engineered by Kaja, Crez and Egg, you realise she had good reason to hide them.]]
467	* IronLady: Even more so than Nights. She has much more severe weaknesses, however, once you get past the facade.
468	* MayorOfAGhostTown: Until the others arrive, when she rapidly moves towards IOwnThisTown.
469	* NoNonsenseNemesis: Much like A_J. If she wants something done, she will either do it herself or make someone else do it for her.
470	* NotThatKindOfDoctor: She is ''not'' a medical doctor.
471	* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Despite having presented no official documentation to support her claim, she has made everyone else apply for a land lease for their homes and barges onto their property whenever she feels like it, simply because she can.
472	* RuggedScar: A very distinguishing one from scalp to cheek.
473
474	!!Ranger ([-tberg38-])
475	Elf, magicka mage. Has left to try and return home.
476	----
477	* FryingPanOfDoom: Despite being a competent magician - perhaps the most competent, due to being somewhat more cautious than her peers - this is her weapon of choice.
478	* ManaPotion: Needs them to survive and cope with the magic she now uses.
479	* PowerGlows: Like all the other mages, it's the eyes that light up when serious power is being used.
480
481	!!Ziek ([-zeekubeast-])
482	A zeekubeastie, what more could you ask for? [[spoiler:Lost in the Void]]
483	----
484	* TheBusCameBack: He showed up for a while with a missing eye before the world changed over.
485	* PutOnABus: First after a long silence, then finally replaced when the world changed.
486
487	!!Darte ([-froginajar-])
488	A frog-human hybrid child recently 'adopted' by the Crew.
489	----
490	%%* EscapedFromTheLab
491	* NatureLover: ...although she eats half of it the majority of the time.
492	* PoisonousPerson: She's a frog person. A ''poison dart frog'' person.
493	* WildChild: She is still in the process of learning English, but primarily speaks in a strange 'frog' based language.
494
495	!!Ginger ‘Red’ [=MacKenzie=] ([-froginajar-])
496	%%* AcePilot: ish.
497	%%* AdventurerOutfit
498	* BunglingInventor: Has crashed multiple airship 'inventions' multiple times.
499	* MechanicalAnimals: Sparks, her clockwork robot bird... thing.
500	%%* WrenchWench
501
502	!!Cain ([-Ebansu-])
503	Formerly the engineer of the Deserters. He's young, nerdy, clumsy, but friendly.
504	----
505	* CannotTalkToWomen: It doesn't matter if they're attractive or ugly, older or younger, he will become flustered regardless and usually dig himself into a hole. He's been intimidated by ''Egg''.
506	* TheEngineer: Very good with machines, he just sometimes can't get the ''parts'' to co-operate.
507	* {{Keet}}: A teenaged/young adult version, at least in comparison to the rest of the Deserters.
508
509	!!Lennart Pengersen ([-Ebansu-])
510	----
511	* DealWithTheDevil: Possibly. Sort of how Lennart recruits most of the other Border Machinists, getting them at a position where they don't have much to lose, before making his offer.
512	* GrumpyOldMan: He does spend a lot of time complaining about the youth of today, for sure.
513	* LargeHam: The largest ham on the server by ''far''. He laughs heartily after almost every line he says.
514
515	!!Pythos/Frances ([-Pythosblaze-])
516	A_J's former left hand woman. Qualifies as a {{Cyborg}}. [[spoiler: Thought lost in the Void, but was left behind after the Needle Incident. Now rescued by Cel and Hector.]]
517	----
518	* AlienBlood: Her blood was replaced with a teal-coloured substitute.
519	* AndIMustScream: Was stuck halfway between worlds after A_J blew up the courtroom, unable to reach her friends, torn up and missing limbs, all alone in a nuclear winter. It got better.
520	* AnArmAndALeg: One of her arms and several of her organs were lost in an accident at AJCO. The other arm she voluntarily replaced.
521	* ArtificialLimbs: Py's arms; designed, built, and attached by herself.
522	* BadassInANiceSuit: Once she ditched the tracksuit trousers and rejoined AJCO, she took to strutting around in an extremely nice suit.
523	* TheDragon:
524	** A_J’s second-in-command; if A_J isn’t doing anything nasty to anyone it’s because Frances is doing it for her (sometimes out of choice).
525	** Now serves as second-in-command to S_K, though how inferior her role is remains to be seen.
526	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Sometimes even Frances is mortified by some of the things A_J does.
527	* FakeArmDisarm: Both of her arms are metal replacements, and it's easy for anyone to see upon meeting her that taking them out is an easy way to bring her down a few levels. Since getting back from the Void they've been torn up and replaced numerous times.
528	* HeelFaceTurn: After hearing the testimony of literally everyone else in the courtroom, she was called upon to answer whether A_J was truly guilty or not. She said ‘yes’. Especially impressive considering ''she was the defense''.
529	* NumberTwo: She has little to no interest in power, rather quite comfortable as AJCO's second in command. When power is thrust on her, as it has been in the past, she tries to get her boss back in place as quickly as possible.
530	* RuggedScar: She has several. A few are from the lab explosion that cost her an arm, and a few are from A_J stabbing her in the chest and stomach a few times with a cursed dagger.
531	%%* TerribleTrio: With A_J and Req.
532	%%* VillainousFriendship: With A_J. Maybe.
533
534	!!Mei ([-bandetto-])
535	Clovis' assistant/wife. Was lost in the Void and then fell out of it again.
536	----
537	* BeastMan: A large dark green dog.
538	* LosingYourHead: She can and will remove her head to freak people out. She has control over both her head and body during their separation.
539	* TheNicknamer: Gives almost everyone she comes across a silly or witty nickname, whether they want it or not.
540	* NonHumanUndead: She's a technically undead dog person.
541	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Her full name is Meihex, but everyone refers to her as Mei.
542	* PullingThemselvesTogether: Similar to LosingYourHead above, she can remove each of her limbs and stitch them back on.
543	* PyroManiac: Though it's quite low-level, Mei takes great joy in setting everything on fire.
544
545	!!S_K ([-Skekfaev-])
546	In charge of the Deserter crew. Slain by Blue during a blood moon.
547	----
548	* NeverMessWithGranny: Could be the trope image if only she were more well known. She is ''ripped''.
549	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When the FAC gets [[spoiler: hit by a thermobaric missile and set on fire]], S_K ''pleads'' to be rescued.
550	-->'''<S_K>''' Miss Graye. P-Please. Help me.
