Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Clara Gold

Actor: Tina Fey

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Badass Bureaucrat: Clara will do anything, anything, for her agents. They just won't know it.
  • Lady of Black Magic: Too bad she's not a field agent any more. Clara uses her ability to its full effect only occasionally these days, but when she was younger, she would play with people constantly.
  • Mama Bear: To her agents, since she's never had kids. Though she doesn't show this off to the agents, that would mean showing she liked them!
  • Obstructive Bureaucrat: Many people might see Clara as being this.
  • People Puppets: Clara likes doing this to people with her abilities. It is often how she gets out of sticky situations.
  • "Well Done, Son" Guy: A lot of what Clara does is to earn her father's -- a five star general -- respect. Yes, despite the fact that she's 40, she still has daddy issues. She also has turned around and become rather like her father to the majority of the agents she deals with, so they will never know her nicer traits.

His Immortality keeps him going at the same pace he had always been at. He doesn't feel regret, love, guilt, but he does enjoy the sight of blood and the feel of the kill. Oddly though he does have a soft spot that he tries to hide with all his will- his twin sister Lottie.

Timothy Floss

Actor: Andrew Cooper

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Read any of his posts.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: Quite literally, Tim increases entropy, Deliah decreases it. Their powers are polar opposites. If they ever had an extended period of time together, however, they would balance one another's powers and actually make them not as polar. As kids, Deliah was more powerful, but Tim's ability was still there, counteracting the move agressive side effects of Deliah's power.
  • Talkative Loon: Don't get him started on bugs or snakes. He'll just go on and on forever. Also, normal conversations with Tim are next to impossible because of this.
  • With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Tim is extremely powerful, but he's also completely mad.

Aiden Morrill

Actor: James McAvoy

Once a cop on the street, Aiden Morrill took a bullet while on duty, and ended up in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

  • Telepathy
  • A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read: People think about awful things a lot. If he had a dime for ever sexual fantasy he overheard...

  • The Quiet One: Flynn was raised in a nearly silent household and he never found it odd. He's not exactly talkative.
  • Five-Man Band: Of the Messengers, Flynn would be The Big Guy, though being able to read a bad guy's mind is pretty handy as well as his fight training.

Camilla "Cammie" Elliot or "C"

Actor: Felicity Jones

Cammie grew up the middle child in a family of passionate artists, but she always seemed to be the least spectacular of her immediate household. She tended to "flicker" from one art to the next, though in her teens she finally settled on the culinary arts. That was when her rather chaotic power of Sin Induction set in, and in order to prevent herself from hurting the ones she loves, Cammie ran away. She spent the next three years on the streets doing whatever she could to survive, which often included shoplifting, mooching of strangers and prostitution.

She would have stayed, but a mix of bordem and her uncontrollable powers set in and Cammie found herself on the road for a few more years.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

After her encounter with Clive, the last two years of living with the Strays are practically erased and replaced with random non-coherent ones. She is no longer the same lost person begging to be saved because she no longer remembers the pain she has put herself through around others with abilities.

Kate Patel

Actor: Hannah Simone

Marcus Adonie's right hand, despite recent events, Kate Patel was the first stray he met, and the one who gave him a cause. Kate appears to be wonderfully calm to those that don't know her, passionate about helping other supers and has a way of making people like her. Except when she doesn't like you. Then you're just screwed (or you're Mo, in which cause you're still screwed). Kate is currently focused on getting Avery back from the Agency, blaming herself for the fact that he was captured in the first place, while also figuring things out with Mo.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

  • Ethical Slut: Kate believes that sex is a very natural and normal part of the human condition. She's... very sexual.
  • I See Dead People: Kate hears dead people.

  • Slap Slap Kiss: With Mo
  • Super Senses: Her ability to Find things stems from this.

Leader of the Stray house, ex-researcher for Chromo Zone.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Reiko "Rei" Matsumoto

Actor: Utada Hikaru

Rei is your typical snarky tomboy and lives at Marcus's house of Strays. For the first fifteen years of her life, she was just your regular kid, messing around, getting in trouble and sometimes getting into a fight or two. Then she developed the power to transfer pain and on that very day her best friend was being picked on by a bully. In her attempts to stop the bully, she reveled her powers to guy and he found a way to send the Agency on her tail. After that Rei went on the run and lived off mostly shoplifting and street dancing. She probably wouldn't have lasted much longer if Marcus hadn't found her and she's been living with him ever since.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Bi the Way: She never really cared about her own gender and she doesn't care about other people's gender.
  • Blessed with Suck: Her power is pain transfer, which mainly means pain absorption for her.
  • Boyish Short Hair
  • Lady Looks Like a Dude: She looks like a dude, but she is female. Though, she never bothers to correct others when they think she's male.
  • Little Miss Snarker: Rude comments are like her bread and butter.
  • Missing Mom: Her mom died not long after giving birth to her. Rei never thinks about it much, though her dad does.
  • One of the Boys: She tends to hang out with the male Strays more than the female ones.
  • The Runaway: She ran away at 15.

Sienna Cross

Actor: Ellen Page

A Stray with an incredibly troubled past, Sienna was found by Marcus after she escaped from the mental institution that her parents sent her to so they wouldn't have to deal with her power. Ironically, her power isn't mental at all. She has the ability to hypnotize people with her movements, which appear very broken up and and "shuttery". She has very little control over this power, and can't have people look at her, or else they will succumb to the effects. This has made her very nervous, self-deprecating and introverted, sticking mainly to her room with her sketchpad. Fortunately, she's found a fellow introvert to share her weirdness with; her boyfriend Billy Williams. She hopes to stop making people stop dead in their tracks when she looks at them, so she can have more friends.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Adorkable: Sienna is shy, sweet, and has very dorky tendencies.
  • The Idealist: Unfortunately, Sienna has been burnt by this trope quite often. She thinks everyone is good, and that they should be given the benefit of the doubt almost always.
  • Moe: Sienna is so awkward and defenceless even some of the toughest characters around feel the need to hug her and comfort her from time to time.
  • Shrinking Violet: Sienna is afraid of almost anyone, and won't speak unless spoken to quite often.
  • The Woobie: Sienna's backstory definitely makes her one.
