History Characters / MegaManLegends

[[/folder]]

* BigWords: During their final battle, his first statement is that he's going to "exercise my prerogative of correctional dispensation". This confuses Volnutt so badly that he has to rephrase it to "I will exercise my authority to terminate your program."

* TerribleTrio: Tron Bonne may not be the leader of the group, but otherwise they are an archetypical example, as they possess a tall guy (Teisel), a girl (Tron, who also fills the role of the smart one), and a strongman (Bon).

* DistressedDamsel: In ''Misadventures'', she's kidnapped near the end of the game. A Servbot drives the Gustaf solo to rescue her.

* BullyingADragon: They keep on picking fights with [=MegaMan=], even after he destroyed their raiding party, ground forces, digging machine, battleship, armada and ''mothership''. They managed to escape on the Focke-Wulfe but instead of just cutting their losses, they ''still'' insist on taking the guy who practically demolished their entire forces single handedly and [[AlasPoorVillain paid the price.]]

* InvincibleMinorMinion: In ''Misadventures'', you are required to exploit this by having them walk into otherwise dangerous situations.

* BigBad: Of a Chinese PC game called ''Rockman DASH: Adventure to Save the Planet''.

* CoolOldGuy: He's still got a lot of spirit and spunk in spite of his old age.

* AntiVillain: They may be pirates, but they aren't monsters. Their interest is making money, not deliberately hurting people or causing destruction; that's just the side effect of piracy. Any time there's ''serious'' danger going on, they have no problem working with [=MegaMan=] to try and stop it.

* BigWords: During their final battle, his first statement is that he's going to "exercise my prerogative of correctional dispensation". This confuses Volnutt so badly that he has to rephrase it to "I'm going to exercise my authority to terminate your program."

* EyesAlwaysShut: He only opens his eyes once when he's reactivated, though they do change shape with his expressions when closed.

* GracefulLoser: Inverted. He accepts his defeat, saying he was destroyed in the process of doing his duties, and will await for his back-up program to be reactivated. From the ''onset'', sounds like a graceful loss. However, much like his declaration of intent to kill, once you read between the lines, what he's actually saying is that Volnutt's failed even if he's beaten him, he can't stop Eden, to go ahead and kill him because he'll just come back anyway, and leaves on a taunt of his return to active duty.

* EvilLaugh: Teisel has a tendency to laugh like a maniac when in a good mood.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Curry.

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Do not, we repeat, '''[[SchmuckBait do not]]''' think [[TheBrute this makes him a pushover.]]

* EvilCounterpart: Well, eviler counterpart in this case. Glyde is very much like his rival pirates, the Bonnes, given his knack for engineering and building all sorts of sophisticated combat machinery, plus the fact that he employs little robotic minions to assist him. However, he's also considerably more ruthless than the Bonnes and lacks their more sympathetic and redeemable qualities. His minions, the Birdbots, can also be seen as evil counterparts of the Servbots, having similar cutesy designs but with far more threatening and mean-spirited personalities, in contrast to the Servebots' meek and sweet-natured dispositions.

* AFoolAndHisMoneyAreSoonParted: Remember that giant refractor the Bonnes were able to steal at the end of ''Legends 1''? Well, it turns out they used it to fund their own department store in an attempt to go legit and leave piracy for good... except the store failed to generate profit thanks to Teasel only stocking it with stuff he liked and he has terrible taste, leaving them right back in the same condition as when they first started out in ''Legends 2''.

* MacrossMissileMassacre: Several missiles let him rapidly fire out missiles and bombs.
* MultiRangedMaster: His arsenal of weapons is enormous, including a variety of bomb and missile launchers, lasers, and energy projectiles. His [[BladeBelowTheShoulder Blade Arm]] even allows him to fire {{Sword Beam}}s.

* DistressedDude: He and Bon Bonne are kiddnapped after ''Misadventure'''s first playable segment.

* EvilIsPetty: He absolutely refuses to get involved with the battle, he left it to Tron and Bon to handle... then a news broadcast of [=MegaMan=]'s heroism interrupts his favorite TV show. Cue JawDrop and eventual outrage.
* EvilLaugh: Rob Smith clearly had a lot of fun voicing this guy. Don't believe us? Listen to any time Teisel laughs.

* FriendlyEnemy: Zig-zagged with [=MegaMan=]. On one hand, they hold grudges against him for always kicking their asses (especially Teasel). On the other hand, they also come to genuinely respect and admire him (especially Tron) for his nobility, courage, and sheer badassery in battle, so much so that they'll even go out of their way to lend him aid every now and then, depending on the situation.

* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: They try to be genuine menaces, but are too incompetent and silly to see as one. At the end of the first game when they escape with a giant refractor, odds are you'll be happy for them because at least ''something'' went right for them at last.

Shu's little twin brothers. They meet up with [=MegaMan=] as soon as he lands on their island to request for his help in saving Shu, who was kidnapped and got taken to Glyde's base.

* BullyingADragon: They keep on picking fights with Megaman, even after he destroyed their raiding party, ground forces, digging machine, battleship, armada and ''mothership''. They managed to escape on the Focke-Wulfe but instead of just cutting their losses, they ''still'' insist on taking the guy who practically demolished their entire forces single handedly and [[AlasPoorVillain paid the price.]]
* EnemyMine: They ''repeatedly'' go through the motions of villainy - invasion, property destruction, pillaging - and get trashed by Megaman. At some point, however, they stumble into the middle of something that could get lots of people killed for no reason at all and immediately offer him their unconditional support because [[PragmaticVillainy they don't want to be collateral damage]] and are [[EvenEvilHasStandards seriously freaked out by the mindless destruction sought by worse villains]].

** Megaman notes they also don't take the pickles and assumes they just don't like them. Teisel is also upset if you destroy the statue during the fight with him. While he was using it as a shield, he was under the assumption you wouldn't destroy the priceless cultural artifact of the city. [[spoiler:Which is rendered hilariously pointless as you can replace it with a measly 5000 zenny. The only difference being that destroying it causes the fight to get a lot harder.]]

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Her crush on Megaman stems from the act of kindness he showed her in the first game by saving her from a dog.

* TheBigGuy[=/=]TheBrute: Lacks the engineering skills of Teisel and Tron, and doesn't possess the dexterity to use machinery as the Servbots can. Instead he uses ''himself'', either with SuperStrength and built-in weaponry in one-on-one combat, or as an engine to the Bonne's machinery.
* CuteIsEvil: Hardly the most vile villain ''Mega Man'''s franchise has given us, but as adorable-looking as he is, he's still a pirate; a huge, strong, and dangerous pirate.

** In ''Legends 2'', he sinks into some lava in the third main dungeon, yet appears soon after fit as a fiddle.

* SuperStrength: In the first game, one of his basic attacks is to just clap his hands with Mega Man between them, crushing him. In the second game, he's the engine for the Bonne-Glyde train, pulling them along the track so fast they actually outpace Mega Man and Roll in an ''actual'' locomotive.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: He's smart enough to use whatever appendages are attached to him and he came up with a plan to use Mega Man to get through the a huge Reaverbot. Not bad for a baby that only says one word.

The adorable Bonne family minions, built by Tron. There's forty-one in total, and they pilot the family's robots and airships. This usually means they end up blown up and thrown around when Mega Man destroys that robot, after which they're usually yelled at by Tron. Even though they always go through hard times, they do their very best to make their mom (Tron) proud of them, which sadly happens very rarely.

* FeelingTheirAge: Bola readily admits that he's an old man and not as springy as he used to, which is why he's quick to give up on fighting Megaman after clashing with him two times, having realized that he doesn't really stand much of a chance due to his aching joints and diminishing endurance. Klaymoor is too proud to admit it, but he's no different.
* FriendlyEnemy: Bola genuinely feels no ill-will towards Megaman and always treats him amicably before and after a fight. He's even kind enough to tip Megaman on how to get the Manda Ruins key after giving up his own pursuit of it.
* GracefulLoser: Bola doesn't hold a grudge after suffering defeat at Megaman's hands. He just accepts the loss as a result of his aging body and leaves it at that.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Bola more than Klaymoor, but both have this attitude. The pair jumps ship from the pirate alliance once it's clear they're just going to get thrashed by Mega Man again.

!!Other characters

* RememberTheNewGuy: He's neither mentioned nor alluded to in the first game, but introduced in the sequel as a lifelong friend of Barrell Caskett's and is already on familiar terms with both Roll and Mega Man.

The last true human to have lived on Elysium. Realizing the System that was sustaining him was wrong to support, he went to Terra to die peacefully and asked Mega Man to shut down the System.

A Bureaucratic unit who rests beneath Kattelox Island within the Main Gate, he is awakened by Mega Man when he explores the gate. His function is to monitor the population of the island, and when it is judged to have grown too large, he "reinitializes" it -- meaning killing everyone.

* AffablyEvil: He's unfailingly polite and courteous, and tries to help what he thinks is a malfunctioning unit. He also treats the genocide of the citizens of Kattelox Island like it's a dull chore on par with taking out the trash, and calmly tells Megaman that if he attempts to interfere, he will be destroyed. This helps to cement the fact that, when it comes to the System, Megaman is the exception rather than the rule; such a thing as a "moral compass" is an utterly foreign concept to most System Units, who are programmed to carry out their preordained tasks to the letter without fail, and nothing more.

* DeaderThanDead: After being defeated by Megaman, Juno's physical form is destroyed and his back-up data deleted.
* DissonantSerenity: Always talks in a calm, soft voice, even as he tells Mega Man he's going to wipe out the island's populace, and then electrocutes him to trap him so he doesn't interfere. Subverted when he goes OneWingedAngel and starts screaming hammily.

** He also got an expy of his own a few years later. Lumine from Megaman X8. Both have purple hair, both have a creepy carefree smile, both have similar color patterns (white and purple), both are affably evil villains that act nice to the heroes at first but then try to kill them, both of them want to wipe out humanity (for different reasons, though), both [[HiddenVillain get revealed as hidden villains at the end of their respective games]] after usurping the role of BigBad from another villain (Sigma and Captain Bonne, respectively), both don't have many appearances in their respective games despite being the final boss and both have a loose LightIsNotGood theme to their final boss battles (both of them are dressed in white and purple and Juno has organ music blasting off in the background of his final battle while Lumine transforms into an angel-like form for the second phase of his final battle). Lumine also has organ music play during his boss battle theme, but only during the first phase.

* NonActionGuy: He ''does'' fight you as the final boss, but is still this trope. As a Bureaucratic unit, Juno isn't designed for combat, while Mega Man, as a Purifier unit, is. After you defeat him, Juno admits it was foolish of him to fight you, since it was obvious on paper that he would lose.
* NonIndicativeName: He's a Bureaucratic Unit, which would initially imply that he's supposed to effectively be an area guardian and manager of the Kattleox region and a step below a Purifier Unit like Mega Man Trigger. Apparently bureaucracy by Elysium standards means "a spare massive death machine body for defense" and "full disclosure to process all of the Carbons on the island."

* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He speaks with complex sentences and long words, which repeatedly confuses Mega Man.

'''Mega Man:''' Prerogative of Correctional... What!? \\

* AntiVillain: Orders are orders, and she obeys the System's laws. What puts her into villainy isn't simply adhering to these orders, but her [[ClingyJealousGirl jealousy]] over Mega Man's sole confidant in the Master, yet she still respects Mega Man enough to potentially have more personal feelings for him, and chooses HonorBeforeReason to resolve their fight rather than just wipe out the world on a whim. It's likely due to this that she manages to live at the end, albeit [[FreakyFridayFlip incidentally.]] Contrast to Juno, who seems to go out of his way to spite Mega Man and is instead AffablyEvil about his intentions, does intend to fulfill his plan regardless of his defeat and uses the System as an front for payback.
* BelligerentSexualTension: May or may not have this with Mega Man; Sera's "jealousy" of his relationship with the Master is full of subtext towards both of them, Sera seeming to hate Mega Man as much as she admires him.

* TheChessmaster: Manipulated the Carbons and Mega Man to gather the keys to the Mother Lode for her plan.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She is jealous of Mega Man because the Master showed him affections he never showed her.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: As a robot designed to maintain and oversee Elysium's System, she cannot understand why the Master would want to leave its safety, or ask Mega Man to shut it down.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Defied. When she loses to Mega Man, she begins to die, wondering if the Master is finally smiling at her. Then Yuna arrives and convinces her to save herself [[BodySurf by transfering herself]] to Yuna's original body.

* HazyFeelTurn: Being defeated by Mega Man again and being forced to transfer to Yuna's old body leaves her with her arch-nemesis and her sister unit on Elysium, with the implication that she's at least reconsidering her goals in the aftermath. But without more games to develop this, she's left ambiguous.
* ItsPersonal: Not only because Mega Man was closer to the Master than she was, but because he defeated her in single combat; Sera consequently puts all of her plans on hold at the final step so that the two of them can resolve their differences in a final battle rather than her trying to play dirty.
* NakedFirstImpression: When Mega Man releases her from her seal on Forbidden Island, she is naked, and he is, of course, staring right at her. It is also likely that the passengers on the Sulphur-Bottom saw her naked, as she is only seen covered up after she has already boarded the ship.

* OneWingedAngel: When Mega Man defeats her main combat body, she busts out an even stronger one.

* SealedEvilInACan: Yuna sealed her in stasis on the Forbidden Island. Then Mega Man released her.

* UnknownRival: She viciously hates Mega Man, but he has no idea who she is since he has no memories.

* VillainBall: She claims she could have activated the Carbon Reinitialization Program at any time, but chose to wait for Mega Man to reach her so she can destroy him to sort out her issues with him first.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Her jealousy for the Master over his friendship with Mega Man, as well as the Master's decision to rebel against the system, confuses her.
* WorthyOpponent: She regards Mega Man as one to her.
* {{Yandere}}: Come the end of the game, she's in turmoil over the actions of Mega Man, the Master, and Yuna, unable to understand them or her conflicting emotions towards Mega Man and the Master. She decides to get over those emotions or put them out of her mind, and do to so by killing Mega Man and completing her duty to activate the Carbon Reinitialization Program to wipe out the population of Terra.

A mysterious woman watching over Sera on the Forbidden Island. She is the Mother unit overseeing Terra, and sealed Sera and Mega Man in stasis years ago. Guarding the Forbidden Island from outsiders, she saved Roll's mother Matilda years ago, but due to expending so much of her energy to do so, she took up residence in Matilda's body while her own recovered.

* MissionControl: She acts as Mega Man's spotter in Elysium.

* LoopholeAbuse: When she downloaded herself into Matilda's body, she lost any control she had over the System. However, it also meant she was no longer bound by its restrictions on her program, which is what allows her to help Megaman shut it down.

* HeroicSacrifice: In the final battle, he attempted to assist Mega Man by invading Sera's internal system to try and weaken her; it works for a while, until she notices his presence and promptly deletes him.

* SiblingYinYang: The yin to Geetz's yang.

[[folder:''Mega Man Legends'']]

* TreehouseOfFun: They decided to build one after the pirate invasion, which Mega Man can lend a help with a series of FetchQuest.

The mayor of the city in Kattelox island who tries hard to keep the citizens safe. She is a professor of ancient civilizations, and used to be Barrell Caskett's assistant while she was in school. After receiving help from Mega Man, she issues licenses for him to enter the ruins and investigate the cause of Reaverbots' recent acting up.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She decided to assist Digger's job as soon as she realized Mega Man may solve the potential threat to the people of Kattelox.

A dog that belongs to Jim's sister. Jim orders him to chase after Tron Bonne, who's then rescued by Mega Man Volnutt.

* VideoGameCaringPotential: If Mega Man donates enough Zenny to Amelia, the hospital will be able to purchase required equipments to cure her.

The owner of a boat house in Uptown, who had his boats stolen by the Bonne Family just before Mega Man came to Kattelox Island.

* DemotedToExtra: He was supposed to be Mega Man's rival, but this idea was dropped during the development. His occasional appearance throughout the whole game is the trace of this original plan.
* UnknownRival: Downplayed, since his role became very minor in the game, and while he continues his own Digger's work, there's no real tension between him and Mega Man. In fact, he seems to [[WorthyOpponent acknowledge his achievement]] at the ending.

[[folder:''Mega Man Legends 2'']]

The owner of the bar in Yosyonke City, living together with her daughter. She found Joe hurt and without memories 10 years before the events of ''Mega Man Legends 2'', and took care of him since.

* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: She seems to grow affection on him as she's lived with him. After Mega Man obtains the last key, she moved with Joe and her daughter to another island.

A girl living in the Kito Village on Calbania Island. One day, she was kidnapped and held as hostage by Birdbots, but rescued safely thanks to Mega Man.

* VideoGameCaringPotential: After Mega Man's job is done on Calbania Island, you can later revisit Shu and give items like pencils and notebooks to her, who'll then start teaching her brothers how to read and write. Mega Man even receives a letter from them later on.

Shu's little twin brothers, they asked Mega Man to save her when he came to the island to destroy Glyde's base.

* TheDitz: They don't look intelligent and often speak with a VerbalTic. Nonetheless, [[BigDamnHeroes they're not afraid to charge straight to the Birdbots' fortress]] as long as it'd help Mega Man save their sister.

[[folder:Mega Man Volnutt]]

The main hero of the game. Mega Man works together with Roll as they investigate ruins as Diggers, Mega Man doing the adventuring while Roll provides info of what to do. His otherwise normal life (for this world, at least) is gradually dissolved, however, as the two games reveal his MysteriousPast. In reality, he is Mega Man Trigger, a Purifier Unit for the System, and his actions tie into the fate of the System, and the planet and its population.

* AccidentalPervert: He sees Sera naked when he releases her from her seal on Forbidden Island. Also when Tron's clothes are destroyed along with her mech when Mega Man defeats it.

* AmbiguousRobot: It's hard to say whether Mega Man is more organic or mechanical. He most of the time has a seemingly explicit robotic body, with ball joints and replaceable limbs, yet the second game makes clear he can also be every bit as normal as Roll in body. This turns out to be the case for most, if not all of Elysium's units. [[AllThereInTheManual Artwork states]] that when the family goes on adventures [[EasilyDetachableRobotParts he puts his head on a fully mechanical body]] and has his normal cyber-organic body in storage of some sort.

* {{Expy}}: Of the original [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Mega Man]], in tradition as a LegacyCharacter. More specifically, he also takes after [[VideoGame/MegaManX X]], as it's revealed in his backstory as Trigger that was he was a Purifier Unit[[labelnote:*]]Irregular Hunter in the original Japanese script[[/labelnote]] whose job was hunting down aberrant machines which is identical to X's job as a Maverick Hunter[[labelnote:*]]also referred to as Irregular Hunter in the original Japanese script[[/labelnote]].

* HappilyAdopted: Sort of. While he's raised by Barrel Caskett alongside his granddaughter, Mega Man's never actually adopted-- rather, he's raised specifically as Barrel's apprentice, and is distinctively given a different last name of "Volnutt". Given [[UnresolvedSexualTension his eventual relationship with Roll]], it's probably honestly for the best that way.
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: He is the only Mega Man incarnation who doesn't wear a helmet by default. While he can wear one in both games, don't expect to see him wearing one in any other appearances.

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Because he had to be reset to infant form following his battle with Sera, his memories were downloaded into Data for safekeeping. Mega Man remembers nothing of the System until the end of ''Legends 1'' and into the sequel.

* NiceGuy: A defining trait is how gosh darn nice and heroic he is. In the first game alone, he can donate to the town reconstruction fund, save a pregnant woman lost in the woods that goes into labor, donate to the hospital to help heal a crippled girl's leg, help the police with their cases, and of course, stop the Bonnes from causing chaos. Also, when he seemingly kills the Bonnes halfway in the first game, he expresses sympathy, and when he finds out they survived, he is actually very happy that they're still alive. This is even lampshaded by several [=NPCs=] Mega Man can eavesdrop on early in the game:

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Though accidental, Mega Man is directly responsible for the main crises in both games. In the first game he awakens Juno, who goes on to attempt to destroy Kattleox, and in the second game he releases Sera from statis and then finds her the Keys she needs to activate the Carbon Reinitialization Program and wipe out all the Carbons on Terra.
* OneManArmy: The Bonne family have a fleet of airships and giant robots. The Casket family has Mega Man. That's all they need. It's practically lampshaded when Mega Man deals critical damage to the Bonnes' lead airship, and Teisel exclaims "what kind of firepower are they ''packing'' on that little ship?" According to the backstory, he waged a one-man war on Elysium, and it took Sera, a Mother Unit, to bring him down and even then it was more of a stalemate.

-->'''Mega Man Volnutt:''' Back for more!?

* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Zigzagged. By normal metrics, Mega Man is virtually the same as Carbons, hence why none of his abilities come across as unusual within the setting, and Barrel found him as an infant who grew up alongside Roll. However, Mega Man definitely leans towards the "android" part than the more organic Carbon race, as much like other Elysium natives, he's capable of explicitly mechanical functions, like backing up his memory into Data, and his regression back to infancy as Trigger more or less being a reformatting in execution.

* SplitPersonalityMerge: Well, moreso a "sealed-off persona merge". At the climax of the second game, Mega Man is mortally wounded by Geetz's kamikaze attack, whereupon Yuna saves him by means of restoring all his backup files from Data, effectively unifying both his current self and his past identity as Trigger and granting him memory of said past life. That said, Mega Man doesn't seem to even begin humoring the idea of readopting his old persona, staying ostensibly as Volnutt until the end.

->''Remember the first time you went on a dig, Mega Man? I wasn't used to being a Spotter... and you ended up getting lost underground for three days! Remember? We were lucky that Gramps came to help us... I don't know what I would've done if he hadn't been there...''\\\

Mega Man's Spotter, in charge of building and maintaining his equipment. Years ago her parents went missing on a dig, and Roll hopes to find out what happened to them someday. In the meantime she provides Mega Man with advice on his missions and also pilots their airship, the Flutter.

* AcePilot: If it moves, she'll know how to pilot it. Boat, spotter car, airship, train? Not a problem for her. Played with in the first game, where if she hits Mega Man with the spotter car in one sequence, she apologizes and claims she's not used to driving it yet -- though this will only happen if the player deliberately runs in front of the car on short notice, otherwise Roll will slam on the breaks to avoid hitting him.
* AdaptationalBadass: The original Roll started out as a minor character but gradually became an AscendedExtra and earned playable appearances as a BadassAdorable LethalJokeCharacter in other games as the classic series evolved. The Roll of Mega Man Legends is an AcePilot, GadgeteerGenius, and MissionControl right from the start.

* BettyAndVeronica: The sweet and nice Betty to Tron's {{Tsundere}} Veronica, for Mega Man.

* CannotSpitItOut: Her final journal entry in ''Legends 2'' outright states (if you were nice to her during the game) that she's realized she loves Mega Man, but she never tells him.
* FirstGirlWins: Not officially, but she definitely has her foot in the door whereas all other competition is tertiary at best. Even in her appearance in ''Otoranger'', based on [[WhatCouldHaveBeen what her appearance in the third game would have been]], she's outright called Mega Man's girlfriend.

* MissionControl: She's Mega Man's spotter in the Flutter and relays him data she gathers about the area as he explores.
%%* NiceGirl

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She is a tomboy to Tron Bonne's girly girl.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: How she communicates with Mega Man while he's underground.

The crew's [[TeamPet mascot]] found together with Mega Man. He has ever since tagged along with them. He's the storehouse for Mega Man's lost memories, holding all his knowledge of Elysium, the System, and his past.

* MeaningfulName: He acts as your save point. He also holds data on Mega Man's previous life.

* NeuroVault: He's Mega Man's backup unit that holds all his lost memories.
* NonHumanSidekick: He helps Mega Man with save points and health recharges.

Barrell Casket is Roll's grandfather and was an avid Digger in his days. He raised Roll and Mega Man.

* HiddenDepths: Beyond his being an actual professor and globaly-recognized leading figure in Digouts, Barrel found Mega Man in the Nino Ruins, and took him into his home. It's not that he wrote off the bizarre circumstances, either; he's always known the boy had some connection to the lost civilization, but never made mention of it, not even to the one in question. It's implied, reading his journal, that this is why he raised him as "Volnutt" and didn't adopt him into the Caskett family, keeping him distanced to a certain degree -- that he knew Mega Man's origins would come back around at ''some'' point.
* TeamDad: He raised Roll and Mega Man and acts as a mentor figure to them both.

The Bonne family consists of big brother Teisel, sister Tron, baby brother Bon, and 41 Servbots built by Tron. As pirates they've made their living flying from island to island raiding and pillaging... until they come across Mega Man.

* AntiVillain: They may be pirates, but they aren't monsters. Their interest is making money, not deliberately hurting people or causing destruction; that's just the side effect of piracy. Any time there's ''serious'' danger going on, they have no problem working with Mega Man to try and stop it.
* BadassFamily: The three of them command a small arsenal of robots in all sorts of designs, and fielded an entire airship fleet before Mega Man shot it down.
* BigBadWannabe: They manage to be TheHeavy on account of being Mega Man's most persistent and recurring foes. However, they're far less of a threat than the System units, and are often too ineffectual or comical to see as all that dangerous.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The story makes them out to be {{Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain}}s, but only because they canonically lose to Mega Man every single time. In actuality, they make up some of the hardest boss battles across both ''Legends'' games, given their complex attack patterns and various stages of battle.
* TheHeavy: More so in the first game than in the second, but as a whole on both instances, the Bonnes are the major antagonist faction that Mega Man has to contend with, as the ''actual'' {{Big Bad}}s of both games don't step up into the spotlight until late in the story, and Mega Man's other major obstacles are Reaverbots not guided by any higher or organizing intelligence.

The leader of the Bonnes, he's always on the lookout to score some treasure. After what is initially just another job goes south due to Mega Man's interference, Teisel declares ItsPersonal and makes it his mission to someday defeat Mega Man no matter the cost.

** In ''Legends'', he and his siblings also have one following Mega Man defeating them in the Focke Wolf boss fight. They survive, much to Mega Man's relief.

* EvilIsPetty: He absolutely refuses to get involved with the battle, he left it to Tron and Bon to handle... then a news broadcast of Mega Man's heroism interrupts his favorite TV show. Cue JawDrop and eventual outrage.

* GracefulLoser: Normally not the case with Teasel, who's prone to swearing revenge, but when Mega Man damages the Focke Wolf (a flying mecha currently over the clouds) beyond repair, and ''everybody'' thinks the Bonnes are about to fall to their deaths, he comforts Tron by saying, "You tried your best, and sometimes that's not enough, but it's all you can be asked to do. He beat us fair and square. That's how life is sometimes." He does it again later on, following the destruction of Theodore Bruno, by acknowledging Mega Man's prowess and commending him for always coming up on top in all of their fights.

* ItsPersonal: After the EvilIsPetty moment above, when Mega Man destroys the Marlwolf, Teisel makes it his mission to defeat him as a matter of principle.

* ManipulativeBastard: Near the end of ''Legends 1'', he manages to smooth talk Mega Man into letting him go by claiming that he's giving up, but he's just decided to wait for Mega Man to open the Main Gate for him so Teisel can get its treasure. He also claims, at the end of ''The Misadventures of Tron Bonne'', that he wanted Lex Loathe to force him to be a miner to work off his debt, because Loathe's mining facility is the location of yet another legendarily huge refractor. The latter probably being an empty boast.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He's the ''Legends'' stand-in for Dr. Wily, Mega Man's arch-enemy who battles him with an army of robotic minions. His hair and red eyes call to mind Wily's design, and the Bonnes share their skull emblem motif with Wily, though the designs differ.
* WorthyOpponent: Although Teisel's early defeats by "a mere blue boy" invoke ThisCannotBe reactions, he eventually starts to see Mega Man as this after the Bonnes' best efforts continue to be thwarted by him.

The Bonne Family's main engineer who builds all their robots. Due to Mega Man saving her from a dog, and just his general heroism, she eventually develops a crush on him. But family comes first, and even if she doesn't like it, she's still going to fight Mega Man to do right by them. She has her own title, ''The Misadventures of Tron Bonnne''.

* BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Roll's Betty towards Mega Man.

* BreakoutCharacter: Along with Mega Man himself, she's the character everyone knows from this series. She got her own spinoff for a reason.

* DisneyDeath: She's caught in an explosion near the end of ''Misadventures'' and taken out of commission, requiring a Servbot to fight the final boss. She and her brothers also have on in ''Legends'', where it looks like they perish in the Focke Wolf. To Mega Man's relief, they survive.

* LetsGetDangerous: After Mega Man shoots down the Gesselshaft, the Bonnes escape in the Focke-Wulf but Tiesel is wounded. Tron, furious over the destruction of their ship and Tiesel's injury, growls "he's gone too far this time!" The subsequent battle with the Focke-Wulf sees it flying and attacking very aggressively.

* MamaBear: She refers to the Servbots as her kids, and after Mega Man beats them up in a boss battle she vows to take him down.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She is a girly girl to Roll Caskett's tomboy.
* {{Tsundere}}: Normally very hot-tempered and angry, but she has a soft side that comes out sometimes, especially when dealing with Mega Man.

* VillainessesWantHeroes: She wants Mega Man Volnutt.
* WaterfrontBossBattle: Mega Man fights against Tron's Frog Bot at Lake Jynn while he's riding in a boat.
* WhatIsThisFeeling: Tron can't figure out why she feels funny every time she thinks of Mega Man in the first game, nor can she figure out why she isn't furious with being unable to destroy him.

* EvilCounterpart: Well, eviler counterpart in this case. Glyde is very much like his rival pirates, the Bonnes, given his knack for sophisticated weaponized machinery and the fact that he also employs little robotic minions to do his bidding. However, he's also considerably more ruthless than the Bonnes and lacks their more sympathetic and redeemable qualities. His minions, the Birdbots, can also be seen as evil counterparts of the Servbots, having similar cutesy designs but with far more threatening and mean-spirited personalities, in contrast to the Servebots' meek and sweet-natured dispositions.

* NiceGuy: He looks intimidating at first glance, but Verner quickly proves himself to be a man of class and dignity, always addressing people with a gracious and respectful tone.

* TheDitz: They don't look intelligent and often speak with a VerbalTic. Nonetheless, [[BigDamnHeroes they're not afraid to charge straight to Birdbots' fortress]] as long as it'd help Mega Man save their sister.

* AdvertisedExtra: She was presented as a plot important character in the Japan-exclusive demo ''Rockman DASH 2 - Episode 1: Roll's Critical Moment!'', but in the main game, her role is trivial at best, serving only as a minor DamselInDistress in a relatively small level.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Glyde isn't seen or heard from again in ''Legends 2'' after the train battle when the Bonnes detach the part he's in and it explodes, leaving his fate ambiguous. Given the fact that, prior to this, he already survived being shot down sky high aboard his airship, there's a good chance that he made it out okay here, too. Then there's the fact that people getting blown up inside their vehicles are generally treated as AmusingInjuries at worst in this series. [[IronButtMonkey Just ask the Bonnes]].
