History Characters / MegaManZeroAllies

* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Averted. The [[AllThereInTheManual Complete Works]] state that the artists once experimented on giving her a tan, but that was dropped in the final game.

* DistressedDude: Becomes a hostage during the mission to protect the base in ''Zero 1''. FRescuing him is mandatory, because he can operate the lift that will take Zero to Hanumachine, the leader of the raid.

* LowerDeckEpisode: One portion of the [[AllThereInTheManual drama tracks]] depict Alouette's interactions with others in the LaResistance Base, and apparently takes place during and after one of Zero's missions in the second game. ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLptTm6H5CM Link here.]])

* AmazingTechnicolorHair: Rafale and Brise, who have green and purple hair respectively.

* FingerlessGloves: Wears a pair, which may be fitting with her profession.

* CreepyCoolCrosses: His garb, see above.

* DistressedDude: Becomes a hostage during the mission to protect the base in ''Zero 1'', Cerveau has to be rescued because he can operate the lift that will take Zero to Hanumachine, the leader of the raid.

* ConverseWithTheUnconscious: He does this to Zero in the ending of the first game, after Zero exhausted himself fighting with Copy X, briefly explaining what he was doing during Zero's absence before he decides to "rest" and tells Zero to take care of the world for him. When Zero wakes up after, he does hear X. [[spoiler:This also happens in the end of the third game where X, now about to rest permanently in Cyberspace, again tells Zero (who fainted after the final boss fight with Omega) to keep watch on the world for him.]]

* EnergyBeing

* TheFaceless: ''Zero 2'' onwards; prior to that, he's literally, and figuratively, a ball of light.
** His sprite still has a definite face: It's just his dialogue picture that is only a glowing silhouette.

* MrExposition

* TheMole: Arguably. He's technically a member of LaResistance, and, as the original leader of Neo Arcadia, the information he gives is invaluable to the former's cause. That's how much he really [[CloningBlues hates his clone]].

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Some Resistance members' introductory scenes immediately speak of their characters.

* GiverOfLameNames: Rouge turns out to be this in one audio drama. When pressed to give a name to the Baby Elves, she seriously proposes ''Literature/CrimeAndPunishment''. This gets her into an argument with the other operator (Jaune) where they accuse each other of being this.
** Subverted in the fourth game where, if you ask her for the name of the new Cyber-elf, she'll suggest "Variable". While she claimed it to be the first thing that comes to ber head, "variable" is quite an apt word to describe the elf's functions.

* PutOnABus: Reversed in the fourth game. It's the main characters (the ones in the FiveManBand above) who are put on a bus (truck, actually), yet the rest that remained in the base are written off the script (with only Jaune getting some minor lines, and [[spoiler:when Neo Arcadia gets shot by Ragnarok, several Resistance soldiers come to aid the civilians]]).

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Albeit briefly, she gets this treatment after her relationship with Craft was revealed, and the Caravan believed her to be a spy. Subverted, [[spoiler:Neige luckily ''wasn't even there'' when this happened, as she had already been kidnapped by Craft at the same time as TheReveal.]] Another lucky break is that [[spoiler:Zero's words finally take an impact to the Caravan, breaking them away from their neutrality, and they personally asked Zero to rescue her.]]

* FaceDeathWithDignity[=/=]GiveMeLibertyOrGiveMeDeath: When Weil asks her to follow Craft and be under Weil's rule, or be destroyed with Area Zero, Neige defiantly answers that she'd rather laugh at the face of death and face it with dignity than live a living death under him.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: When escaping from the prison, she tells Craft that she'd rather die with dignity than live in fear. These words led to Craft taking them to heart and [[spoiler:blowing up Neo Arcadia with Ragnarok's cannon with Weil inside it, and indirectly Weil sending Ragnarok into a ColonyDrop.]]

* FantasticRacism: They look down on the Reploids because (in their eyes) all they're doing is causing pointless wars and destruction. They're even willing to look down on humans who are sympathetic to Reploids, such as Ciel and Neige once her past with Craft comes out.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Most of them don't seem to realize the Resistance has been a perfectly-justified war of survival against the Neo Arcadian regime and that their "hero X" was in fact a copy that foolishly decided to genocide Reploids to conserve resources for human comfort (and by ''Zero 3'' was fully willing to ''kill'' humans too to achieve his goals and spurned a peaceful solution). This can likely be justified by Neo Arcadian propaganda.

-->'''Cerveau:''' That's not true. [[NotSoDifferent You just stood up for your beliefs, just like we do.]] You've made no mistakes.

* OlderSidekick: to Ciel and maybe Zero [[OlderThanTheyLook (sorta)]], he's almost like a father to them, and acts like one. A GadgeteerGenius on his own, but he plays second fiddle to Ciel, assisting (but not spearheading) her research.

* NerdGlasses: Perroquiet, full stop. [[spoiler:''If'' he really is Fleuve, then that's just carrying it too far, and ''too long''.]]

* ThemeNaming: Most of the Reploids are named after [[AnimalThemeNaming birds]], in French. To drive the point home, Ciel ("sky") was the one who named them.

* WhatTheHellHero: When she overhears Craft's talk about "doing things for the greater good" after his battle with Zero, she comes in and calls him (and Zero) out on them bringing out trouble to Area Zero and disrupting the peace and that their actions, no matter how noble their goals are, end up causing more harm than good. Though she later thinks of the words she said and apologizes to Zero.

A group of humans who escaped Neo Arcadia with Neige. The prolonged {{Robot War}}s have jaded their view of Reploids. Unfortunately for them, Zero's the only one who can stop Ragnarok...

* BullyingADragon: Played straight and averted. Considering that they resent Reploids for being warmongers, they spend a lot of time yelling at Zero. Rafale also makes a vow [[DramaticIrony (in Zero's presence)]] to kill the Reploid who killed X. However, he does not attempt it after realizing who Zero is.

* NotSoDifferent: In ''4'', most of the Caravan humans insist that the Resistance Reploids and Neo Arcadian Reploids are this, claiming that no matter what their individual goals are, in the end they're both essentially causing bloody war after bloody war, and the humans are sick of it. Conveniently ignoring or not knowing that the current war was sparked because the Neo Arcadian regime decided humans should be prioritized over Reploids to the point of genociding the latter for flimsy excuses and the Resistance understandably doesn't take kindly to that, plus the fact that of the two sides, only Neo Arcadia went so far as to launch successful strikes on ''human'' settlements.

* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: It's very heavily implied that he had this during his stint as Neo Arcadia's ruler from human ''and'' Reploid alike. Part of the issue with [[ElCidPloy Copy X]] is that he's at least partially coasting on that built-up reputation.

* ReverseMole: Arguably. He's technically a member of LaResistance, and, as the original leader of Neo Arcadia, the information he gives is invaluable to the former's cause. That's how much he really [[CloningBlues hates his clone]].

* RobotGirl: Alouette, the BridgeBunnies, and the few female Resistance Soldiers.

* RedshirtArmy: One wonders how they ever survived without Zero. One interpretation implied throughout ''1'' is that simply by being red shirts, they posed such little threat that Neo Arcadia has barely bothered dealing with them. It's unknown if Elpizo's rebel cells are active by this point, but they could have distracted Neo Arcadia, too. Copy X also gives a reason in ''3''; he's intentionally been holding back because Ciel, their leader, is a human, and he is programmed to put the safety of humans above all other concerns; when he finally decides Ciel is an extremist threat to Neo Arcadia using her pacifism to hide behind sending [[OneManArmy Zero]] out on missions against Neo Arcadia as her strong-arm, he already has armies poised to run roughshod over the base.

* RedshirtArmy: One wonders how they ever survived without Zero.

* HostageSpiritLink: In a variant, in the second game, some of the Resistance soldiers are brainwashed to attack you; don't kill them or you lose your mission score. The trick is that, if you really have to hurt them, you can use a weak attack to make them "deactivate" for a moment, allowing you to go past them. Note: attacking them after they reactivate will kill them.

* MeaningfulName: His name means "brain" in French, fitting for a genius.

* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: That doesn't stop him from helping out the people he cares about, human and Reploid alike.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Not in-series, but his powerset is fairly well-known and he more or less fought the Elf Wars alone.

* BigDamnHeroes: In ''Zero 3'', when Zero and Ciel are trapped between the {{Mind Control}}led Resistance soldiers, all hope seems lost... until X comes from above and promptly disables the mind control of all the people in the whole building.

* DespairEventHorizon: It's implied that he got hit with this between his series and this series, specifically in the Elf Wars in which he fought most of it alone. The original concept was that he would lose all hope for human and reploid coexistence and begin the oppression and genocide of his descendant species, since they were incapable of living peacefully with humanity (this concept became Copy-X later). Fortunately, he's still savvy enough to TakeAThirdOption, and he chose to seal what caused the war, the Dark Elf. While most of his dialogue as a Cyber-Elf is fairly normal, there are a couple times when he implies his more ruthless side that he's holding back, which is extremely jarring coming from a former ReluctantWarrior and poster android for IncorruptiblePurePureness. The fact it could break an AllLovingHero shows how bad things really are.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: His speech at the end of the first game mentions that he no longer cares about the opponents he fought. Ironic and tragic, seeing as [[MartialPacifist he was born and raised with that very quality]]... Thanks to ExecutiveMeddling[[note]]X originally would become insane due to the stress and become the KnightTemplar BigBad that Zero has to stop; it later is changed to a copy[[/note]], X actually realized that this was happening to him and took himself out of the fight by using his body to seal the Dark Elf before he could go over the edge.

* PlotlineDeath: [[spoiler:Seeing as fixing dead robots/reploids/whatever is entirely workable in-canon, it probably has to do with his desire to finally rest in peace. His body was also blown up in the second game.]]

* RuleOfSymbolism: He "died" to absolve the war between man and reploid once and for all, continued watching over them as a spirit, reappeared before those who'd followed him in an angelic form complete with [[HolyHalo halo]] and cross on his garb, and only acted in protection rather than violence. Let's see you deny that with a straight face.

* BaseOnWheels: In ''Zero 4''.
* BigEater: Hibou consumes E-crystals, possibly the Reploids' equivalent to energy foods, to no end. He is actually a hard worker, though... Or at least when he's trying to impress someone, or if the situation is ''serious.''
* BodyHorror: In the introduction of the first game, several of Ciel's companions were ''[[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe cut in half]]'' by Golem's lasers. Even worse in the [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/ca/Mmz-differences.png original versions]], with [[HighPressureBlood tons of blood spilling out.]]

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Alouette; she's as sweet and innocent as a reploid child could be.

* HopeBringer: This Resistance was made to consort any runaway reploids who were awaiting "retirement", as well as helping those in need, regardless of affiliation. However, the group itself is facing extermination from a tyrannical government, so the RebelLeader decided to find their own HopeBringer: the legendary Zero.

* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Downplayed -- The reploids in the Resistance technically rebelled from the human society in Neo Arcadia, but it's because of the Reploid-cide order of Copy-X (because of the energy crisis, but still). They're rarely hostile, either.

** He is [[spoiler:the living seal of the Dark Elf.]]

* BigDamnHeroes: In ''Zero 3'', when Zero and Ciel are trapped between the {{Mind Control}}led Resistance soldiers, all hope seems lost...until X comes from above and promptly disables the mind control of all the people in the whole building.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: His speech at the end of the first game mentions that he no longer cares about the opponents he fought.

** Or at least when he's trying to impress someone, or if the situation is ''serious.''

* ThemeNaming: Most of the Reploids are named after French birds. To drive the point home, Ciel ("sky") was the one who named them.

** In a literal example thay would still qualify, X erects a barrier around the Resistance Base to protect everyone within from Weil and Omega's MindControl.

* BarrierMaiden: He is [[spoiler:the living seal of the Dark Elf, after all.]]

* GiveMeYourInventoryItem: in ''Zero 4'', Hirondelle will ask for two S-crystals from Zero in exchange for his [[EmergencyEnergyTank Sub-Tanks]].

* AmazingTechnicolorHair: Rafale and Brise, who have green and blue hair respectively.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Most of them don't seem to realize the Resistance has been a perfectly-justified war of survival against the Neo Arcadian regime and that their "hero X" was in fact a copy that foolishly decided to genocide Reploids to conserve resources for human comfort (and by ''Zero 3'' was fully willing to ''kill'' humans too to achieve his goals). This can likely be justified by Neo Arcadian propaganda.

* UngratefulBastard: When their settlement gets razed by the Neo Arcadian troops and Zero comes to rescue them, some of them don't like the rescue that much. Also, despite Neige being one of their major leaders who risked everything to get them to the Settlement, most of them are quick to turn on her once her past with Craft comes to light. This latter point in particular is what causes him to give them a WhatTheHellHero speech.

* AmazingTechnicolorHair: Rafale and Brise.

* ChildrenAreInnocent: Initially, Typhon and Brise are the only ones (apart from ''maybe'' Neige) who will give Zero the time of day.
* FantasticRacism: They look down on the reploids because (in their eyes) all they're doing is causing pointless wars and destruction.

* UngratefulBastard: When their settlement gets razed by the Neo Arcadian troops and Zero comes to rescue them, some of them don't like the rescue that much.

* NotSoDifferent: In ''4'', most of the Caravan humans insist that the Resistance Reploids and Neo Arcadian Reploids are this, claiming that no matter what their individual goals are, in the end they're both essentially causing bloody war after bloody war, and the humans are sick of it. Conveniently ignoring or not knowing that the current war was sparked because the Neo Arcadian regime decided humans should be prioritized over Reploids to the point of genociding the latter for flimsy excuses and the Resistance understandably doesn't take kindly to that, plus the fact that of the two only the Neo Arcadian went so far as to launch successful strikes on ''human'' settlements.

* BallOfLightTransformation: By virtue of being a Cyber-Elf, he takes on this form. He can also instead project himself as a holographic image of himself.
