History Characters / BreathOfFire

* ElementalPowers: Different for each dragon form.

* FusionDance: Agni, the most power dragon transformation, has the entire party melding together into one being. It can single handedly take on Myria.

** The elders living in the ruins where Ryu gets his training will tell him something like, "You need to complete the first level and find the [[InfinityMinusOneSword DragonSD]]." But you still have to puzzle out where to find the equipment. The most powerful transformation is only mentioned once, on a tablet you can find in a well on the world map; it's quite possible to beat the game without ever finding it [[spoiler: and thereby getting the "bad" ending.]]
* InstantArmor: In ''The Dragon Warrior'' manga, [[spoiler:Ryu's ultimate transformation is switched with this.]]

* EasyAmnesia: The {{justifi|edTrope}}cation for having to level her up from scratch: her centuries-long sleep makes her forget most of her magic spells.

* OrcusOnHisThrone

* [[spoiler:TheStarscream]]

* CreepyChild

* ApocalypseMaiden: The people of Wyndia ''think'' she's this, which is why she was banished.

Deathevan's [[EliteMooks servants.]]

* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Essentially says so in the first scene of the game.

* VillainousBreakdown: He does ''not'' react well when [[spoiler:Ryu [[CutscenePowerToTheMax utterly owns him]] in a fit of UnstoppableRage.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: She's protecting life and the world by sending the technology of Caer Xhan to humanity via the Black Ship in manageable doses, keeping the Desert of Death away from humanity with an ocean barrier, and stopping the Brood from destroying the world with their power. Unfortunately, sending machines to humanity means making humanity dependent on her, keeping the Desert away from the rest of the world prevents humanity and Yggdrasil from colonizing and restoring it, and protecting the world from the Brood means either killing them all or imprisoning them in a false Heaven.

* FusionDance: Agni, the most power dragon transformation, has the entire party melding together into one being.

* OurAngelsAreDifferent: [[spoiler:She's usually seen assuming the form of a winged woman with light all around her.]]
** There is a distinct RedRightHand[=/=]UncannyValley effect (I'm not sure which trope is more appropriate) when you realize that her wings are upside down.

* DumbMuscle: For such a late-game boss, all he can do is [[TheIncredibleHulk SMASH!!!]]

* Badass

** ShinyMidnightBlack

* TheArcher
** ArrowsOnFire: In ''Princess of The Wings'', he uses arrows set on fire with his magic.

* TheArcher

* OrphansPlotTrinket: The Dragon Tear.

* HeroesPreferSwords

** So few that when Ryu and her arrive at the monster hunters's place, they ask Ryu to sell her to them.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Katt romps around ''bottomless''.

* IncrediblyLamePun: His [[PunnyName name]]. ''Land'' Marks. Because he rolls. Get it?

** IncrediblyLamePun: Now check his full name. Just don't [[FacePalm hit your face too hard.]]

!! Ekal Hoppe Do/De Pe Tapeta/Jean

* EvilIsDeathlyCold: His Ice Breath attack, not to mention his whole [[spoiler:freezing the party schtick.]]

* FreakinessShame: Word for word. [[LesYay From Katt.]]

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: His Sana/Shin fusion is some kind of plant-dragon. Sadly, said fusion still uses his normal GeoEffects special.

* ButYourWingsAreBeautiful: Word for word. [[LesYay From Katt.]]

* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: Attempted to by turning into the Great Bird.]]

*** [[spoiler: They didn't die, the Time Key distorted the entire tower and reverted the two of them back to children.]]

* AdultChild: Portrayed this way in the manga.

** [[invoked]][[spoiler:In the manga, she explicitly describe's Rasso's actions as unforgivable and begs Nina to not think of all Fou Empire soldiers as being similarly [[CompleteMonster monstrous]].]]

* {{Expy}}: His battle form bears a striking resemblance to [[MegaManV Stone Man]].

* {{Expy}}: His battle form bears a striking resemblance to [[MegaMan5 Stone Man]].

* DidNotDoTheResearch: Tyr is a ''male'' Nordic god.

* UsefulNotes/{{Pettanko}}: See below.

* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:Almost ''everything'' in Sheldar ultimately boils down to a XanatosGambit of some sort by Elyon. The entire establishment of the D-Ratio system and the Regents, the plan to have Ryu become a Chosen of Odjn, and the backup plan of the PeopleJars full of headless Nina clones...]]

* [[spoiler:TheDragon: To ''Elyon'', of all people. It's strongly implied that Trinity is in fact a faux LaResistance designed to allow Sheldar's inhabitants to rebel without threatening the Regents (and Elyon's XanatosGambit).]]

** [[spoiler:[[RedemptionEqualsDeath Redemption Equals]] SplitPersonalityMerge: After the final battle in the game's [[MultipleEndings Good End]], he admits that whilst HumansAreBastards they are also "magnificent" and is absorbed into Ryu.]]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:Fou-lu gives one that is more of a "The Reason HumansAreBastards Speech"; this is actually how you start the decision path on which of the MultipleEndings to go with.]]
