History Characters / MAR

* PeekABangs: The left eye is normally covered by his white hair.

* KansaiRegionalAccent

* TheDarkChick: [[spoiler: with her true personality exposed, she's the [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the only woman on the final Knights Team]]]], has a power set that drastically contrasts with her colleagues and is mainly scornful towards more fortunate women.

* TheBrute: A not-so bright, physical and loud blowhard who's only allowed in the group for being more of StoneWall than most Bishops. He also doubles as TheDarkChick as he's an insecure man who envies others and is extremely incompetent in comparison to his colleagues.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Just to make the point, this princess has four matches. She loses two of them but really only because of having big disadvantages placed upon her. An elemental weakness the first time and a psychological block the second. It's easy to see her winning both of those fights if all things were equal. And the fights she does win, she wins almost effortlessly.

* BladeOnAStick: He fights with a spear shaped like a gryphon's head.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Was under the assumption that there were cases of there being a Chess Pieces [[AlmightyJanitor stronger than their official rank]] using Loco as an example when she "beat" Nanashi and assumed the case would follow suit for him. This is in spite of the fact that Mar runs on AuthorityEqualsAsskicking, meaning your rank defines your standing as a threat.

* WhipItGood: And it explodes too.

* CantHoldHisLiquor: He passes out after he drinks.

* CantHoldHerLiquor: She has the same problem as Ginta. One sip and she’s an out of control maniac.

* YouGotSpunk: To Alviss. Too bad he took it beyond just complimenting him for it.

* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Chaton in the anime. [[spoiler: TheyDo.]]

* TheChick

* DistressBall: He throws this during the Ghost Chess filler arc. See WhatAnIdiot and WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong below.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: She gives one to Ginta [[spoiler: after they fail to save Alviss from Phantom and are forced to leave Nanashi and Alan behind.]]

* PinocchioSyndrome: Very obvious, he wants to kill Dorothy in the hopes that Diana will make him a real boy.

* EyepatchOfPower: Which hides an Arm that allows her to switch places with her foe during an attack her initiated, both to increase her magical power for her trump card and because she's a sadomasochist.

* TakenForGranite: Her fighting style, which revolves around summoning earth themed Arm or turning her enemies to stone.

The Queen of the Chess Pieces, the queen of Lestava, Snow's WickedStepmother [[spoiler: and Dorothy's older sister.]] [[spoiler: prior to the series, Diana was [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed by Caldia's Orb into stealing a majority of Arm, rescuing Phantom and founding the Chess Pieces]].]] She would [[PlayingBothSides act as both the leader of the Chess Pieces and the Cross Guard]] [[VillainWithGoodPublicity as the latter's beloved queen]] in the war six years ago. Her [[EvilAllAlong greedy nature gradually was exposed and she dropped her facade entirely to once again attempt control of Mar Heaven]].

* BloodyMurder: His primary fighting style, utilizing Arm intent to drain the blood of his enemies and turning into blood to avoid physical attacks.
* BloodMagic: Employs Arms that revolve around the manipulation of blood. As Arms are [[spoiler:objects infused with Caldean magic]], it makes them this.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: His decision to pull a YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness on the Thief Guild of Liberia ends up biting him in the long run, [[spoiler: when their leader, Nanashi personally hunts him down and kills him during the sixth round of the 2nd War Games.]]

* HighlyVisibleNinja: his gimmick, but an extremely incompetent one, given that he uses his {{Shuriken}] as a bludgeon tool than the throwing projectile that it usually is.

* UnskilledButStrong: Kouga is '''the''' most incompetent Arm user of the Knight Class and arguably the Chess Pieces, with using a {{Shuriken}] as a bludgeon as a notable example. He is however, a StoneWall that's tougher than most Bishops, which is implied to be the reason why he is even allowed in the group in the first place.

* {{Flight}}: A power if his that Alan finds out late in their fight. He tries to use it to keep away from Alan's attacks while he makes clones of himself. Alan figures it out when he notices his shadow on the ground.

* {{BFS}}: It acts as a MagicMirror as well. She winds up destroying it when it doesn't answer if she pretty over Snow.

* SupernaturalSuffocation: In the last few moments of her round against Snow, she pulls out a new ARM named Undine, who controls water and covers Emokis body in a bubble of it. Snow tries to get her to surrender, but Emokis [[HonorBeforeReason is too prideful and nearly drowns due to her stubbornness]]. Luckily for her, Undine deactivates the power after Emokis loses consciousness, knowing that Snow didn't want to kill her, giving Snow the win.

* BloodKnight: The only legitimate one in the entire organization

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Uses a darkness ARM that'll melt his opponent. However when Ginta manages to use Alice to heal himself. The curse rebounds on him and he melts much to Ginta's dismay.

* VictoryByEndurance: During his match against Snow, he knew he would be able to win due to the landscape being a volcanic area and her being a snow and ice user. Despite Snow giving her all, she ends up collapsing due to the strain of the heat and her power pettering out when she goes in for an all or nothing attack. Giving him the win.

* TheQuietOne: Comes off as this at first. But once the mask is removed, [[spoiler: she]] starts talking, [[spoiler: revealing herself to be a scornful and cruel woman]].

* SamusIsAGirl: Many people think that Chimera is a male. [[spoiler: However, when Dorothy blows away the mask it turns out that Chimera is in fact a dangerous woman.]]

* TragicMonster: While [[spoiler: she]] is one of the most brutal and cruel Chess Pieces, [[spoiler: it all comes from being associated with a Chess Piece and being punished severely for it until she was rendered insane- becoming a cruel monster in order to get back at the world.]]
* WasOnceAMan: Or [[spoiler: once a woman.]]
* WhiteMaskOfDoom: a warped human skull with spiked horns on the top, in addition to a green plumage [[spoiler: to hide her true blond hairstyle.]]
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Oh God, Chimera has went through the most shit out of all the Knights. [[spoiler: Her soon to be husband is killed despite reforming himself. The men who took him gave the ring finger back to her literally and then they kidnapped and raped her multiple times before she escaped. It’s no wonder she went crazy.]]

* DarkSkinnedRedHead: Technically wood, but it still counts.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: In the anime, being a DarkSkinnedBlonde.

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: She's this in the anime.

Ranked Rook in the beginning of the story, Ian is one of the Chess Pieces sent to get Snow, resulting in a fight with Ginta [[WorthyOpponent gaining respect for the boy for breaking one of his arms.]] He later pursues Ginta over participating in the massacre, [[CurbStompBattle gets beaten easily by Ginta's new power]] and Halloween has Chimera [[YouHaveFailedMe punish Gido- his lover instead to psychologically break Ian for his disobedience and failure]] [[BalefulPolymorph resulting in her being transformed into a hideous creature that can't even speak]].

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: If you haven't taken a guess yet, the majority of the characters belong to the Chess Pieces, and only a few are actually competent.

* AntiVillain: He’s not evil at all. He hates killing above everything and is very talkative and helpful toward Team MAR. He just won’t turn his back on Phantom…[[UndyingLoyalty ever.]]

The 9th strongest Knight [[spoiler: previously 8th prior to Ian's inclusion into the group]], a man who joined the Chess Pieces in order to make a better world for children. [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter The same organization bent on making the world into a hellhole.]]

* AntiVillain: He's really on the wrong side that even Ginta comments on that.
