History Characters / LisaOthers

* AssholeVictim: Gets beaten up brutally by Brad and then blasted into bits, but after what he did to Lisa he had it coming. [[spoiler:The tragedy of his death lies more in 1) the fact that Buddy had to watch, all while protesting and begging Brad not to kill him, and 2) that Brad is proving himself to be no better than he ever was by beating the shit out of ''Buddy'' just to finish off a defenseless old man.]]

* PleaseDontLeaveMe: In a scene from Brad's nigthmare, Marty resents his father for taking Brad away, and implores the latter not to leave him, since Marty had already lost his wife. He even offers Brad to buy another shirt.

* AnimalMotifs: Wolfs. He's named after one and his signature attack is called "Howling Gyser".

* AnimalMotifs: Spiders. One of the forms Marty takes in Lisa (and later, Brad's) mind is that of a spider with his head as the body. [[spoiler:In the Definitive Edition as the Manifestation of Marty, he can consume your party and turn ''them'' into spiders, and reaching the Manifestation himself will have him grow sacs on his body that provide him with constant healing. ]]

** ParentalNeglect: One flashback depicts him handing the baby Lisa to Brad telling him to 'deal with it', suggesting he forced him to [[PromotionToParent handle her care]].
* AssholeVictim: Gets beaten up brutally by Brad and then blasted into bits, but after what he did to Lisa he had it coming. [[spoiler:The tragedy of his death lies more in 1) the fact that Buddy had to watch, all while protesting and begging Brad not to kill him, and 2) that Brad is proving himself to be no better than he ever was by beating the shit out of ''Buddy'' just to finish off a defenseless old man.]]

* DamageSpongeBoss: [[spoiler: Is by far the most durable of the required story bosses, with ''19,000 HP'', as well as an [[ImmuneToFlinching immunity to being Fallen or Stunned]]. Being able to heal about 1/40th of his health later on, ''and'' being able to inflict [[DamageReduction Depression]] and [[ExtraTurn Scared]] upon multiple party members, usually ''simultaneously'', helps, too. To put things in perspective; the only other two bosses who are even more defensive than Wally are Beady and Satan, both of whom are late-game [[BonusBoss Bonus Bosses]].]]

A person wearing the costume of the titular mascot of the fast-food restaurant Wally's, who is worshipped by the village built around the restaurant due to being their only source of food.

* ClimaxBoss: For Area 2, he's the major threat that stands in your way before finding and briefly reuniting with Buddy.
* DamageSpongeBoss: [[spoiler: Is by and far the most durable of the required story bosses, with ''19,000 HP'', as well as an [[ImmuneToFlinching immunity to being Fallen or Stunned]]. Being able to heal about 1/40th of his health later on, ''and'' being able to inflict [[DamageReduction Depression]] and [[ExtraTurn Scared]] upon multiple party members, usually ''simultaneously'', helps, too. To put it in comparison, the only other two bosses who are even more defensive than Wally are Beady and Satan, both of whom are late-game [[BonusBoss Bonus Bosses]].]]

* ICannotSelfTerminate: [[spoiler: Wally's dialogue implies that, in his (lack of) state of mind, he cannot stop himself to do his horrifying acts, with Brad and his gang killing him eventually granting him that relief.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: The game's BlackComedy tone comes to a '' screeching halt'' when you manage to meet Wally in person.

* ReluctantPsycho: He's a dangerous, LaughingMad foe, but his pre-battle dialogue implies that he hates what he has become, and wants no part in it.

* ToServeMan: [[spoiler:Considering the state of the restaurant, it is implied that the Wallyburgers that the villagers eat are seemingly made from corpses, or, even worse, ''his own mutated flesh'']].
* WalkingSpoiler: While Wally has little-to-no plot significance, the fact that he is the game's NightmareFuelStationAttendant is quite shocking, especially so early on in the game.

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:He is shown to have redeemed himself out of guilt for what he has done, but the damage he did to Brad caught up with him, resulting in Brad beating the stuffing out of Marty and then obliterating his upper body with a fireball.]]

* AbusiveParent: His abusiveness towards both Lisa and Brad form the backstory of the game.

[[folder:Rick/Richard Weeks, Sticky/Tony Angoneli and Cheeks/Cheeks Gaywood]]

-> Rick

-> Sticky

-> Cheeks

* MeaningfulName: "Tricky Rick" is a letter off from "Tricky ''Dick''" (and Dick is a shorthand nickname for Richard) an appendage he physically resembles. It's also the nickname of UsefulNotes/RichardNixon, a man generally regarded in the public view as a (metaphorical) sleazebag.

* HazyFeelTurn: [[spoiler:Sticky and Rick end up joining the Rando Army and oppose Brad. Rando's army has some genuinely good and genuinely awful people, and Brad is a KnightTemplar to the extreme. Sticky possibly raped Buddy, though there's just as much evidence that Brad jumped to conclusions (Buddy confirms this to be the case in Joyful when she reveals that Sticky never touched her.]]

* MeaningfulName: Sticky, when it is hinted that [[spoiler: he possibly raped Buddy[[labelnote:*]]Though because Brad was under influence of joy, it's likely that the rape part is what Brad imagines, enforced by Buddy saying that Sticky never touched her[[/labelnote]] ]].

* OneSteveLimit: Averted in that ''Lisa the First'' includes a separate character named 'Tricky Rick'.

* MeaningfulName: "Tricky Rick" is a letter off from "Tricky ''Dick''" , an appendage he physically resembles. It's also the nickname of UsefulNotes/RichardNixon, a man generally regarded in the public view as a (metaphorical) sleazebag.

* TheAlcoholic: He is first seen with a beer in the prologue of ''Lisa: The Painful'', [[spoiler:and you can find a bunch of glass bottles on the island he lives on. He also attacks by throwing bottles at Brad.]]

* {{Irony}}: In ''The First'', he enjoys his ability to control Lisa, and has no problem with sexually abusing her, as well as physically and emotionally abusing Brad. [[spoiler:In ''Lisa: The Painful'', he is the one who takes care of Buddy when she was on the run from Brad and even proves to be a far better parent than Brad. He even comes to Buddy's aid the moment Brad assaults her. Also considering that for a setting where a lot of the men are perverts and want Buddy for sex, Marty is among the few that is ''not'' interested in sex with Buddy.]]

* RapeAsDrama: Played with. [[spoiler: In ''The Painful RPG'', the player is led to believe that Sticky raped Buddy, though she and Sticky deny it, and Brad is a bit of an Unreliable Narrator. In ''The Joyful'', Buddy ultimately reveals that Sticky never touched her.]]

* AmbiguouslyGay: Salvation Green can be seeing entering Brad's room in the Beehive if Brad decides to work to Queen Roger. If this happens, Green will only say "don't tell this to the other guys" and leave. Also [[spoiler: he's the only NPC in ''Lisa: The Joyful'' that will never try to attack Buddy if she interacts with him without a mask.]]

* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler: Aside from the member that's kicked out, Salvation Green is revealed to have survived in ''The Joyful'', and his real name is Tooley. This is later averted at the end of the game, when he's DrivenToSuicide.]]
