History CHaracters / TheLastStory

%%* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:Zael gives him such a moment in-universe.]]

* {{Deconstruction}}: Of romantic RPG protagonists in general. Fell in LoveAtFirstSight with a RebelliousPrincess? Congratulations! Now you get to spend the rest of the game trying to woo her over, not realising that everything you're doing is just serving to push her away... and then there's the fact that, even though she loves you, she ''doesn't'' want to be with you because she's afraid that you will get trapped in her world of corrupt nobles and backstabbing politicians... ''and this just convinces you to try harder'', which only serves to fuck up '''''even more''''' in the long run. Sometimes, one can't help but feel that Sakaguchi was using Zael to take pot-shots at his earlier, idealistically-romantic, games... [[spoiler:at least until the ending, that is, where he and Calista live HappilyEverAfter.]]

* {{Deconstruction}}: Of Sakaguchi's past RPG heroines, in a similar vein as Zael to the male protagonists.

* BonusBoss: You can fight him [[spoiler:during the Epilogue, where he takes the place of Ashtar]].

* {{Jerkass}}: The nicest possible thing you could ever say about Jirall is that he's a complete [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] tool.

* ItsPersonal: After being publicly humiliated by Zael (numerous times) Jirall goes out of his way to kill him (also numerous times).

* PrinceCharmingWannabe

* SomethingAboutARose: A recurring motif with Jirall is the blue rose.

* AntiVillain: A Type II-Type III combo, although the main story doesn't do a great job of showing it. The books, on the other hand, give more clues as to his motivations. One that can be read before he makes his introduction tells the player that humans and Gurak used to live together before the latter were expelled from the empire due to the escalating levels of FantasticRacism. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation Somehow,]] [[IdiotBall not even General Ashtar himself seems to have read the one thing that might clue them in as to why Zangurak is attacking]].

* {{Bishounen}}

* BunnyEarsLawyer
* ButtMonkey
* CasanovaWannabe

* DeadpanSnarker

* NatureHero

* ArrangedMarriage:

* TheSixthRanger

* DistressedDamsel: Twice.
* ElementalPowers:
** HealingHands
** HolyHandGrenade
* EleventhHourSuperpower: During the battle against [[spoiler:Atar, she learns how to summon Mitra to protect the party]] despite never having showing any indication that she ''could'' beforehand. It makes a lot more sense [[GuideDangIt if you read all the in-game books]].

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: [[SubvertedTrope Yeah, right]].

* PrincessClassic: Subverted and then deconstructed. See "CanonSue" for the full lowdown.
* RebelliousPrincess

* AmbitionIsEvil

* EyepatchOfPower

* MagicKnight
* ObfuscatingStupidity
* RatedMForManly: Let's see here. ManlyFacialHair, [[XMarksTheHero Kickass X-marked scar]] clearly won from some epic battle, [[CasualDangerDialogue reacting to life-threatening situations like they're nothing]], cool enough to make ''lilac'' seem like a badass colour, hitting on ''everything'' with two X chromosomes - turning ice/water - a stereotypically "healers only" element - into an epic force of destruction ''and'', just to top it all off, [[BraveScot has by far one of the manliest voices in the English dub]]. There's no two ways about it. Lowell is ''badass''.
* ReallyGetsAround: Not-so-subtley implied.

* XMarksTheHero

* RatedMForManly

* PeekABangs: Contributes to his initial shadiness, which had many players thinking he'd be a villain. It's really just for style though.

* BladeOnAStick: It uses a huge double-headed staff as a weapon but holds it in the center, similar to [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Darth Maul.]]

%%* BadassBaritone

%%* BadassInCharge

* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership & AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: He single-handedly united the Gurak and dedicated himself to bringing about a better future for them.
