The Pride
These tropes apply to all of The Pride:
"Estelle Fenix does not run away from a fight!"
Estelle Fenix
- Curtains Match the Window: Estelle has red hair and reddish-brown eyes.
- Flaming Sword: Previously, when a Fire Magisphere is inserted into her sword, but she also now wields a firesword thanks to Tiberius Rex.
- Personality Powers: A fiery young girl with a fiery sharp sword.
- Fiery Redhead: Her hair is also a brilliant red to match her element of fire.
"The world is a big place, full of wonderful, amazing things. You only need to open your eyes."
Marcus Wiseman
"Come and get some if you think you're 'ard enough!"
Moira Dennis
"Woah, hang on a minute-!"
Syed Dyjani
"How about a nice tall glass of I don't give a rat's ass?"
Amy
"Hashtag OMG YOLO!"
Trixie May
- Buffy Speak: Trixie tends to substitute nouns with "thingy" if it's too long to pronounce, and she stutters quite a lot when she's excited. For this reason she tends to be their resident [1], along with Don, Moira, and some of the others to a lesser extent.
- Fragile Speedster: She can't take much hits, so she needs her speed to do anything remotely dangerous.
- The Glomp: She's a big fan of tackle-hugging long-time-no-see companions.
- I Call It "Vera": Trixie has a mechanical chicklet figure lovingly dubbed "Yam" because it looks like a potato. It's also a reusable sticky bomb.
- Improbable Age: The minimum age requirement for being a guilder is eighteen. Trixie is sixteen.
- Really 17 Years Old: She says she's sixteen, but she looks like she's twelve.
- Bratty Half-Pint: She's both puny and a brat about it.
- Weapon Jr.: Her grenades look like children's playthings, but they are extremely dangerous.
- Young Gun: Trixie calls herself a gunslinger in an effort to sound cool, but in all honesty, she's just not that cool enough.
"You see, even a beauty like myself is still, as you say, a 'near complete stranger'. For all you know, I could use that exclusion to my advantage."
Selan Leclair
Don Capuello
- Giver of Lame Names: Along with Trixie, he dubs most of his teammates with the name of their class or some other special trait plus "bro" or "sis" depending on their gender. For instance, Amy is "Clericsis" and Marcus is "Windbro."
- Power Makes Your Hair Grow: His strength is directly proportional to that of the size of his hair. With the majority of it cut away his once former danger level of D has been diminished to H.
"... If you interfere, I will be forced to arrest you as well! Or else my name isn't Lisette Marchand!"
Lisette Marchand
- The Ditz: Lisette is book smart depending on the subject, but she was swindled by Del Dennis and she has trouble solving riddles.
- The Load: At times, especially when she hesitates to attack a person or animal.
- Lonely Rich Kid
- Magic Staff: Only briefly; she accidentally breaks it and replaces it with a bow.
- Nature Lover
- Quirky Curls
- True Blue Femininity
- Youthful Freckles
Kapi
"Oh Aislin!"
Dylan Sanders
- Art Attacker: Uses a slate to draw weapons, which he can materialize into a solid form.
- Naïve Newcomer: Until Weir, that is.
- Sorry, I'm Gay: How he rejects Josette's advances.
"Do you know what happened to the man who lost his entire left side? Well, he's all right now. Get it? Pretty funny, yeah?"
Lucien Maddox
Aria Corvus
Xandra Farren
- Aloof Dark-Haired Girl
- Artificial Limbs
- Black-and-White Morality
- Energy Weapon: When Xandra returns to the Pride, her prosthetic arm is upgraded with this.
- The Perfectionist
- Tomboyish Ponytail
Lute Aiserigh
- Better as Friends: To an extent. The Highever chapter ended with the both him and Jel realizing that while they had potential back then, the future was best left open-ended. Jel made it very clear that he was fine either way, though.
- Combat Pragmatist: To an extent. He will use underhanded tactics when the situation calls for it, or to get even with enemies.
- Endearingly Dorky: Lute is the clumsiest member of the team, and most NPC women find him irresistibly cute.
- Loud of War: Lute used this on Nimbus by making his headphones explode, though Delilah also uses it to annoy people she doesn't like.
- My Sister Is Off-Limits
- Make Me Wanna Shout: Lute's sound magic focuses on destruction and detection. With Delilah having manifested into a concrete form, his attacks have only gotten stronger. Taken to new levels when he used a sonic scream against Lucien.
- Mystical White Hair
- Oblivious to Love: Romance isn't on Lute's mind unless you're Jel, and even then...
- Socially Awkward Hero
Delilah
- Spirit Advisor: Delilah, whom some of the Pride perceive as an invisible Fairy Companion. (Or maybe it's just Trixie.)
- Deadpan Snarker
- The Peeping Tom: It's only worse now that she has a semi-physical form. Poor Lute.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall:
- The Nicknamer: "Hairspray" (adopted from Jel) for Don, "Robes" for Lucien, "Petal" for Rose, and sometimes "Pebble" for Cole.
- Embarrassing Nickname: Somewhat. She calls Lute "Potats" due to his love for potatoes.
- Finishing Each Other's Sentences: Both because of their mind link and knowledge of each other, Lute and Delilah invoke this trope a multitude of times.
"How is a brother supposed to get some with a scrubby little chaperone hanging about all the time?"
"Thunderhawk"
- The Casanova
- Commuting on a Bus
- Demoted to Extra
- I'm Not Here to Make Friends
- Jerkass
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Estelle even calls him "Thunderjerk."
- Mr. Vice Guy
- Pragmatic Hero
Nani Sterling
- Talk Like a Pirate: As a former pirate, Nani often speaks with pirate lingo.
Captain
- Pirate Parrot: Captain is the parrot of a pirate that often perches himself on the shoulders of Nani and her teammates.
Jett
- Awesome, but Impractical: Jett fights with killer yoy-yo's.
Quentin Theopolis Hobart
- Sunglasses at Night: Hey, they look pretty gnarly!
- Surfer Dude: Both a surfer and a water mage, Quentin totally loves the water, dude!
Tobias "Tobi" Zenmyr
- The Bus Came Back: Tobi departed the Pride when his writer departed the RP group. However, nearly two years later, he makes a reappearance as an escort to a new character, Nani. Seeing as the two are pirates, it makes sense that he would be in charge of rehabilitating her.
Guilders
"We do not steal! We do not cheat! We do not lie! We do the mission that we're given by our client and we fulfill it to the letter, to the best of our ability!"

Colchester "Cole" Grale
Nikkolaira Wyatt
"Whatever. Just don't slow me down!"
Trent Walker
Nero
Ruana Aiseirigh
- Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Ruana is E-rank and, judging by her magic, handles frontline defense/offense... yet doesn't have a single blemish on her skin.
- Super-Strength
- Lady of War
- Cute Bruiser: Back when she was still a kid and was unable to access her magic. Lute and Atlas have vivid memories of getting beaten to a bloody pulp whenever she caught them bickering.
- Lame Comeback: Tried to bait the saboteurs by calling them "lollipop noodles".
Atlas Keyes
- Flash Step: Atlas' specialty.
Caspian "Crispin" Ocelot
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: He's a fantastic chef who just happens to set things on fire due to what he calls "haphazard" pyrokinesis. He usually remains employed until the building itself is burned down and everyone's out the job.
- Challenge Seeker: Crispin loves a challenge. Especially if it's out of his league. He's incredibly competitive about everything there is to be competitive about.
- The Chew Toy: He's his team's punchbag. This is evident in Chapter 12: Opheliac.
- It helps him that he tends to receive something of a Critical Status Buff - his flames burn brighter and hotter the more beaten up he is. Just as long as it's Not in the Face!!
- Frying Pan of Doom: Crispin's mother made him a frying pan. He occasionally uses it to smack people.
- Ground Punch: He initiates the battle at the Phillis Circus by doing this. He also does this to create a Ring of Fire.
- Iconic Item: Crispin is never seen without his baseball cap.
- Muscles Are Meaningless: While his mother Lady has more muscles than anyone else who partook in Chapter 11, Crispin lacks these - or at least they're not anywhere near as evident. Yet his fists do pack heavy punches.
- Playing with Fire: As his nickname suggests, Crispin fights with fire. Particularly with fire-infused brass knuckles.
- He tends to snap his fingers and produce fire like a lighter when he's bored.
- Promoted to Playable: He was an NPC in Chapter 9 (Los Paraisos), but in Chapter 12: Opheliac, he becomes a major asset to that arc's plot.
- Real Men Wear Pink: He's often seen wearing a black or white suit vest atop a pink dress shirt. Or just a pink tee in general.
