History Characters / DragonQuestVII

!!Orgodemir

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_almighty.png]]

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Unvoluntary example, but his time-rewinding mechanic is absolute, which means that, for example, any dead player will revert back to life.

* StatusBuff: Casts Magic Barrier on either himself or one of his Side Winder lackeys to increase resistance to enemy spells.

* AttackReflector: Casts Bounce on either himself or one of his Side Winders to deflect enemy spells.

* HopelessBossFight: [[spoiler:Your first battle with him is this after the power of the Incantation turns him into an unstoppable gargoyle-like monster. After The Wizz weakens Hybris some with The Great Leveller, the party can defeat him in the rematch.]]

* PlayingWithFire

!!The Wizz (High Priest)
The Wizard-in-Chief of Hubble who, until recently, was King Hybris's equal in authority. He is concerned that his king is going way too far in his quest for strength.

* StatusBuffDispel: The Great Leveller, which The Wizz is developing to counter the forbidden Incantation. He makes enough progress on it to weaken Hybris so the party can finish him off, but doesn't complete the spell until near the end of his life. He does, however, leave the spell at his grave for the Hero to take for himself.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: The SOB being kicked. It's hard to feel sorry for him after all he's done, or what he allowed to happen.

* DegradedBoss: His design is later used for the Croaker Kings, encountered near the end of the game and the remakes of ''Dragon Quest IV''

* DegradedBoss: Monsters that resemble Togrus called Torges appear in the Cathedral of Blight, as well as ''VideoGame/DragonQuestX'' and the remakes of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV''.

* OneWingedAngel: When out of tricks, he turns back into a Fightning Batboon to kill the party.

* ArcVillain: Of El Ciclo arc.

* FlunkyBoss: Fights alongside a Quayhorse and a Wharfhorse he can resurrect with Kazing.

* ClimaxBoss: He's the last of Orgodemir's commanders to defeat, after which the party focuses on finding his master's initial base, the Malign Shrine.

* DemBones: [[spoiler:Her true form is a Fright knight monster]]. ''VideoGame/DragonQuestXI'' has her as a Skeleton Swordsman monster for her boss fight in the Rainbow Mines instead. Justified, since [[PutOnABus Fright Knights and their Night and Blight Knight variants are not present in XI]].

* TookaLevelInBadass: In ''Dragon Quest XI'', she goes from a boss that can only defend to a boss that uses Lightning Slash against the party, [[EnemySummoner summons Rockbombs]] to back her up, and other abilties like Robochopping and healing herself.

* PlayingWithFire: Attacks using both Flame Slash and the Sizzle spells.

!!Cumulus Vex
[[quoteright:669:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cumulus_vex.png]]
A cloud monster who dwells deep within the Cirrus Shrine and has corrupted the holy statue to bring forth darkness.

* DegradedBoss: Cumulus Rexes appear later in the game, as does Cumulus Vex itself as a normal enemy in ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIX''. The same game also introduces Cumulus Hexes, while the 3DS remake introduces Cumulus Nixes.

* JerkassGods: A sadistic, manipulative parallel to Satan who's the main cause of all the calamities in the story.''VideoGame/DragonQuestIX'' has him use War Cry, as well as Raging Roar when faced as a Legacy Boss.

* OrcusOnHisThrone: Zigzagged and then played straight. While he already defeated The Almighty [[note]] [[spoiler:Although he actually survived and waited until the Hero and his companions would set things right.]] [[/note]], he got to work sealing various continents, while appointing various monsters such as Cardinal Sin and Togrus Maximus in charge before licking his wounds until the Hero and his friends showed up. [[spoiler:Even when disguised as The Almighty, he just chills out at the Cathedral of Light until the Four Spirits expose him.]] Justified in the latter case, since he's still playing the part of a "benevolent god" and doesn't interfere with either humanity or his army of monsters.

* SuperScream: Knows Ferocious Roar, which damages his enemies in addition to stunning them.

* EvilIsSexy: His humanoid form, at least, according to him anyway.[[invoked]]

* ShoutOut: In the 3DS remake, to VideoGame/ResidentEvil4. Only in naming.

* KnightTemplarParent: Tries to be one; Maribel never listens.

* KnightTemplarParent: He's harsh towards Kiefer, simply because he believes he's out of control.

* GrandfatherGod: He looks like a pudgy, smiling old man.

* PhysicalGod: He looks like a pudgy, smiling old man.

* JerkassGods: A sadistic, manipulative parallel to Satan who's the main cause of all the calamities in the story.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Knows Ferocious Roar, which damages his enemies in addition to stunning them. ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIX'' has him use War Cry, as well as Raging Roar when faced as a Legacy Boss.

* {{God}}: Rather unusual for a JRPG, this God is a straight up capitol-G Abrahamic God. This was retconned into just being the god of the setting when later games would introduce alternate Almighties [[VideoGame/DragonQuestIX like Zenus]].

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Complicated by circumstances, especially Lavender's desire for him to fight for her even at the cost of imperiling his family.

* BoobsOfSteel: She's tall, busty, and hits like a truck!

* BoobsOfSteel: Has a pretty big bust and is the strongest of all the arena fighters you have to defeat.

* PartingWordsRegret: [[spoiler: Her words to Carraway on how she never wanted to see him again were said out of the hope that Carraway would be driven to elope with her if she did. Instead, they end up being the last thing she ever says to him as they drive him to leave town]].

* FriendOrIdolDecision: Should he get together with Lavender, breaking the engagement and her deal with Burdock, leaving her parents' debt to be dealt with, and putting his family's livelihood at risk? Or should he stay silent and watch his beloved marry another man, spending the rest of his life working for them and walking on eggshells to keep a suspicious Dill from accusing him of a secret affair with his wife? [[spoiler: In the end, despite Lavender and Cayenne urging him to fight for the relationship, [[TakeAThirdOption he takes a third option:]]leave town so Lavender could have a happy life with Dill and avoid bringing any trouble to his family. Needless to say, this doesn’t pan out the way Carraway wanted at all]].

* ShootTheDog: [[spoiler:When met later on, Carraway, while heartbroken about Lavender, convinces and consoles himself that at least Lavender is living a happy life with Dill. Then you find out she had moved to the convent above his place and died so close to him without him realizing it, and decide to tell him and show him Lavender's grave. This reopens the wound for him and makes him realize how much he loved Lavender, but now filled him with regret due not only for not running away with her when he had the chance but also for not realizing she was so physically close that whole time before she died.]] When [[TheDragAlong Maribel]] of all people doesn't make her typical bratty remarks but instead points out that [[spoiler:you just reopened old wounds and didn't help matters at all]], and for once is right about her comments, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero you know you've screwed up big time.]]
* TakeAThirdOption: {{Deconstructed}}: [[spoiler:Rather than choose between his lover and his family, he leaves town. He thinks this is for the best but nobody is happy with it and nobody benefits from it, [[DidNotGetTheGirl himself included.]] All it does is cement everyone's unhappiness for years to come, and ends up sowing the seeds for the town's eventual collapse.]]

* DomesticAbuse: [[spoiler:Abused Lavender during the thirty year time skip after losing his mansion and garden to Dan D. Lion, causing her to ditch him and her son]].

* LoveRedeems: The reason why his father arranged his marriage to Lavender, hoping that his son’s love for her would make him a better person. [[spoiler: However, Dill ended up driving Lavender away with his continued bad behaviour (which turned to abuse) and the actual moment comes when he takes the heat for Cayenne’s crime, leaving town with her]].

* AllForNothing: [[spoiler: His attempts at having Dill mature by marrying Lavender to him backfires as not only Dill never matured like Burdock hoped, he ends up losing the garden to a wealthier man and said garden is later abandoned in favour of the herb garden Lavender’s true love established after he left her so she could marry Dill]].
* LoveRedeems: Basically banking on his son's love for Lavender making him a better person in the long run. [[spoiler: Needless to say, it doesn’t work]].

* JigglePhysics: In the 3DS version, his belly noticeably jiggles after attacking or being attacked.

* RatedMForManly: A manly man with an incredibly muscular physique and a thick beard.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: She's always barefoot.

* TimeLimitBoss: [[spoiler]]As with many ''Dragon Quest'' bonus bosses, he will grant wishes if defeated within a set turn limit.[[/spoiler]]

* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:All four are fought at once in the second post-game dungeon, their combined strength rivalling The Almighty himself.]]

* TimeLimitBoss: As with many ''Dragon Quest'' bonus bosses, he will grant wishes if defeated within a set turn limit.
* PhysicalGod: He looks like a pudgy, smiling old man.

* PartingWordsRegret: [[spoiler: Her words to Carraway on how she never wanted to see him again ends up being the last thing she ever says to him, as he takes her words to heart and leaves rather then eloping with her like she had hoped, and she spends the rest of her life regretting it]].

* KarmaHoudini: ZigZagged: While she is exiled from Greenthumb Gardens when she is exposed, Dill takes most of the heat for her and she gets to leave with her true love]].

* AllForNothing: [[spoiler: His attempts at having Dill mature by marrying Lavender to him backfires as not only Dill never matured like Burdock hoped, he ends up losing the garden to a wealthier man and said garden is later abandoned in favour of the herb garden Lavender’s true love established after he left her so she could marry Dill]].

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: PlayedForDrama as [[spoiler:her ReasonYouSuckSpeech to Carraway was done out of the hope that if she said those things, Carraway would finally be motivated to fight for her love. Unfortunately, Carraway took her words to heart and left in order to make everyone happy. She’s last seen regretting her poor decision, explaining to the heroes her true intentions and lamenting on how she only wanted to love him, not hurt him]].

* FriendOrIdolDecision: Should he get together with Lavender, breaking the engagement and her deal with Burdock, leaving her parents' debt to be dealt with, and putting his family's livelihood at risk? Or should he stay silent and watch his beloved marry another man, spending the rest of his life working for them and walking on eggshells to keep a suspicious Dill from accusing him of a secret affair with his wife? [[spoiler: In the end, despite Lavender, Cayenne and Kiefer urging him to fight for the relationship, [[TakeAThirdOption he takes a third option:]]leave town so Lavender could have a happy life with Dill and avoid bringing any trouble to his family. Needless to say, this doesn’t pan out the way Carraway wanted at all]].

* LoveRedeems: Basically banking on his son's love for Lavender making him a better person in the long run.

* BonusBoss: [[spoiler: Found alive and well in a post-game bonus dungeon, and he is ''really'' difficult to beat in a fight.]]
