History Characters / SouthParkTheStickofTruth

* BlowYouAway: He can whip out a leaf blower to take out his enemies. He uses it in his boss fight for the BeamOWar segment.

* TeamDad: His army seems pretty devoted to him, given elves will proclaim "For the Elf King!" before running into battle.

* WakeUpCallBoss: The first truly challenging boss you run into. With a plethora of hard-hitting spells and some lethal mooks at his side.

* DropTheHammer: As a paladin, this is his WeaponOfChoice. As Professor Chaos, he can use the "Hammer of Chaos", which is '''huge'''. If you fight him, you can get his hammer as a weapon.

* GolfClubbing: His WeaponOfChoice.

* HeroesPreferSwords: His WeaponOfChoice is the "Slashing Blade of the Ranger", which is a wooden toy sword.

* BratsWithSlingshots: His WeaponOfChoice is a custom "crossbow-slingshot", kinda similar to some weapons from ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor''.

* ShopKeeper: After Cartman banishes Clyde, he becomes the new shop keeper for Kupa Keep.

* BadassBandolier: Subverted - he uses it to carry his [[IllBoy insulin and spare syringes]] around.

* InformedAttractiveness: He's just a 10-year-old boy in ([[StylisticSuck poor]]) drag, but is referred to in this game as "the fairest maiden in all the land" and a "beautiful girl", just as he wants to be. Taken UpToEleven with how her DistractedByTheSexy techniques actually ''work'' in battle, as well as her role in a "rape the women" scenario.

* LargeHam: He has a knack for shouting with a lot of passion in his voice. UpToEleven as Professor Chaos.

* VerbalTic: Like the show, he can go into long spouts of stuttering and trailing off. The game takes this UpToEleven as some of the cutscenes with him in them will grind to a halt while he tries to get out what he's trying to say. During these sequences, the "Skip" command comes up more prominently than normal, which can give the impression that the game is ''forcing'' you to skip these, as a means of LeaningOnTheFourthWall (in fact they will end by themselves but are ''very'' long).

* BigBrotherMentor: Early in the game, Cartman serves as a cross between this and an EvilMentor to the New Kid, being the one who teachs the New Kid how to fight in the Tutorial as well giving him his first two lessons in.. er.. [[{{Fartillery}} 'magic'.]]

* SquareRaceRoundClass: Cartman keeps insisting that he's meant to be a Blacksmith even though he's already stated that his class is a Healer.

* WigDressAccent: {{Parodied|Trope}}; he wears the entire princess outfit over his parka, and therefore everybody (both in-game and playing the game) easily recognizes him (see IncrediblyConspicuousDrag above). The [[http://media1.gameinformer.com/imagefeed/featured/thq/southpark/cov_225_l.jpg original design]] for Princess Kenny would have played this straight; it looks like a perfect female disguise due to the game's art style.

->'''Cartman:''' [[LampshadeHanging Don't ask why Kenny's playing a chick, that's just how he's rolling right now.]]

!!The New Kid[=/=]Douchebag[=/=]Dovahkiin
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/defaultnew_kid.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:320:One version of The New Kid]]
!!!Tropes present in ''Stick of Truth'':
* TheAce: The outcome of the war depends entirely on which side he decides to fight for.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: [[spoiler:He's named (or at the very least codenamed by the military) after [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim the Dovahkiin]].]]
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Technically counts, as he's nine years old while all his party members are around 10.
* BadassAdorable: No matter how much ass he kicks, he's still a nine-year-old boy.
* BadassNormal: In the end, however, he's simply just [[KidHero a kid]]. All of the things he uses are mundane, if somewhat dangerous.
* BagOfSpilling: Played with; they don't lose their skills between ''[[VideoGame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth The Stick of Truth]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole The Fractured But Whole]]'', but due to the GenreShift, none of it matters and they end up playing a superhero game, though they convince Cartman to play with them by then, instead of being drafted into "Fighters of Zaron" without them getting a say in it.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: [[spoiler:His only line of dialogue in ''The Stick of Truth'' is to use Cartman's "screw you guys, I'm going home" after all is said and done.]]
* CanonName: [[spoiler: Before the FinalBoss, BigBad Government Guy refers to him as [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Dovahkiin]].]]
* ChickMagnet: Almost all of the girls (and Kenny) start showing very clear interest in him once they get recruited.
* TheChosenOne: Particularly as the {{LARP}} session becomes SeriousBusiness.
* CombatPragmatist: By far the dirtiest fighter in the game, and that's saying something. Kicking opponents in the balls? Letting off fireworks in their face? Throwing excrement at them? Electrocuting them with a car battery and a bucket of water? It's all fair game to the New Kid.
* TheComicallySerious: He gets involved in plenty of batshit crazy situations with nary a change in his expression.
* CoolKidAndLoserFriendship: The New Kid's friendship with Butters is essentially this, though gradually, he also befriends other 'loser' characters like Scott Malkinson throughout the game.
* DestructiveSavior: When someone gives him a task, there's a good chance a A LOT of property damage will occur in the process.
* DraggedIntoDrag: Is forced to dress as a girl by Wendy's group in order to infiltrate the abortion clinic. If the New Kid has Butters at the party, he'll say he finds him attractive.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Potentially on the receiving end, retroactively and accidentally, as of ''[[VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole Fractured But Whole.]]'' Bebe repeatedly flirts with the New Kid a few times, but the New Kid can identify as a girl in the sequel.
* ElectiveMute: His idle animation with Butters implies that he prefers to talk through texting instead of his voice.
* ElementalPowers: If they choose to play as a Mage in ''The Stick of Truth'', he can use three different elements total from his abilities.
* FanOfUnderdog: The fact that he's implied to see Butters as his best friend out of all his party members makes him this by default.
* {{Fartillery}}: The player can also learn various special farts with unique properties as well as using farts to enhance his attacks.
* FireIceLightning: Zigzagged with his ability pool as a Mage, where it is made of a Fire spell (Dragon's Breath), a non-elemental spell (Dust of Dreams), a Shock spell (Lightning Volt), a Frost Spell (Funnel of Frost) and another Fire Spell (Pyro Ball).
* FriendlyEnemy:
** If the New Kid sides with Kyle and the Drow Elves, Butters will view him as this.
** [[spoiler:After Craig switches sides to join Clyde, he heavily implies that he views the New Kid as this, since not only does he not unfriend the New Kid like Clyde did, but he generally talks to the New Kid in a somewhat respectful manner and even at one point encourages the New Kid to side with Clyde.]]
* {{Gasshole}}: The player can control him to fart on their command, providing much revulsion to NPC characters (and much amusement to others such as Butters, Kenny, Stan, Jimmy, Kyle, Cartman, and Canadians).
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Has T and P tighty-whitey briefs in his underwear drawer.
* {{Goth}}: Becomes one in order to recruit the goth kids. With his quiet nature and constant frown, he pulls it off very well.
* GuileHero: The one power he has that is stronger than his farts is his ability to make friends incredibly easily. He also prefers to take advantage of his surroundings to create traps to take out his enemies rather than fighting them head on.
* HeroicMime: Parodied, and also commented upon by other people, including his parents. Though his idle animation implies that he does communicate by texting or tweeting with his phone. [[spoiler:Subverted in the ending, where he finally speaks.]]
-->'''Elf''': [[LampshadeHanging He doesn't talk, Elf King! He thinks he's hot shit or something.]]\\
--\\
'''Annie''': ...He doesn't really talk.\\
''[beat]''\\
'''Bebe''': That's hot.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Possibly with Butters, considering The New Kid only smiles when Butters uses his healing touch on him. It also helps that gameplay-wise, he's one of the most useful companions due to being a CombatMedic that also serves as a tank. It's even implied as much with his idle animation, as Butters is the only party member that verbally responds to the New Kid using his phone, and those are reactions to the New Kid texting or tweeting him, implying that Butters is the only party member the New Kid does this with. Changes to PlatonicLifePartners, LikeBrotherAndSister, or ShipTease, retroactively, [[VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole if the New Kid identifies as female in the sequel.]] He could also have this kind of relationship with [[BigBrotherMentor Cartman]], seeing how the latter's AdaptationalHeroism [[PetTheDog brought him up to befriend the New Kid]], [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe who gives Cartman his loyalty and trust in return]], [[VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole something which is carried over to the sequel.]]
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Even in the South Park universe, one wouldn't expect a nine-year-old kid to know how to perform abortions, though his shaky hands during the mini-game suggests he's had no formal training but knows how the procedure goes.]]
* HornyVikings: The Barbarian armor you can acquire from Canada is pretty much this. It even gives you a Berserker Rage buff.
* HordesFromTheEast: The Khan armor you can buy from Kupa Keep.
* AnIcePerson: As a Mage, his Funnel of Frost can slow a row of enemies if perfectly executed.
* IKnowMaddenKombat: As a Fighter, he uses a [[BatterUp baseball bat]] for Assault and Battery, which he uses to hit a ball and beat a foe down, and dons a football helmet in Bull Rush, where he charges the enemy head-on.
* InformedFlaw: The New Kid's dad will occasionally comment that his son is "not as ugly" as he remembers him being. There are also a handful of [=NPCs=] that mock his "big, ugly nose" before recommending that he get cosmetic surgery. Then again, walking into Tom's Rhinoplasty will sometimes trigger a party member to mention that they [[LampshadeHanging hadn't really noticed]] that you even ''have'' a nose.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: The Sweet Katana sold by Jimbo is the strongest weapon in the game.
* KleptomaniacHero: As expected for the genre. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d a few times.
* MagneticHero: Through the course of the game, The New Kid can get a lot of friends on Facebook and increasing his friends list can gain him perks. [[spoiler:As it turns out, it's an ability that's caused him to be wanted by the government. Evidently, he was able to get 3.2 billion Facebook friends by the time he was five.]]
* MultiMeleeMaster: Basically, if it exists and can be used to attack, he can wield it. Up to and including alien probes, bar darts, dodgeballs, and crutches.
* NiceGuy: He helped Butters, Annie, and Ike out of their respective binds without anyone telling him he had too.
* NotSoStoic: He usually doesn't show much emotion, except when he's [[ManOnFire lit aflame]], grossed out or freezing cold. There is exactly ''one'' specific action that will make the main character smile; when Butters uses his healing touch power. That said, he also seems pretty shocked when he [[spoiler:witnesses Princess Kenny pull his FaceHeelTurn at the end of the story]] and when he [[spoiler:gets abducted by aliens and finds himself getting probed.]]
* OneOfTheBoys: A rare gender-inverted example. After finishing the quest to recruit the girls, the girls now consider the New Kid to be an "Honorary Girl", giving him free rein in their clubhouse and access to their shop. He even gets invited to their next slumber party; whether or not the invitation was an accident is unknown.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: No matter what the player enters their name as, Cartman responds with "You entered 'Douchebag'. Is that correct?". From that point onward, he'll always be addressed by the boys as Douchebag.
* OnlySaneMan: Judging by his reaction at the very end of the game, he seems to be the only one to actually learn something from everything that happened. [[spoiler:Though he ends up going through ''even worse'' things in ''[[VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole The Fractured But Whole]]'', not helped by the fact that the New Kid actually ''wants'' to play the boys' superhero game by convincing Cartman to let him join.]]
* PalsWithJesus: On Facebook at least. Earns you an achievement if you're playing the Jew class.
* PerpetualFrowner: Doesn't display any emotion except for a vacant frown.
* PottyFailure: If you collect too much mana, this happens.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: [[spoiler:It's literally his superpower. He can gather friends at astonishing rates.]]
* RankUp: As the game progresses, the New Kid rises in rank, going from simply Douchebag to Sir Douchebag, then Commander Douchebag and finally King Douchebag.
* RecklessPacifist: If his opponents are human, chances are they'll still be alive when he's done with them, even after being hit with explosions, electricity, or anything else that normally would kill a person.
* ReligiousBruiser: The game over screen being Heaven implies that he might be a Mormon (considering that, for the most part, only Mormons are allowed in Heaven in the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' universe, no matter what their moral alignment is). There's also the Jew class, which involves using Jewish-themed attacks. Further evidence of this can be seen when he summons [[JesusWasWayCool Jesus]]. While Jesus shoots down the baddies for him, the New Kid will simply close his eyes and make the Christian Sign of the Cross.
* RookieRedRanger: He's one of the most recent kids to join the [=LARPers=] and is technically a year younger than the other fourth graders, yet just after some brief training from Cartman, New Kid's talent for fighting prove to match and surpass his party members.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:The New Kid decides that he doesn't want to play anymore and goes home in the ending. That said, he still plays with the kids in the post-game [[VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole and in the sequel.]]]]
* SergeantRock: As he rose in ranks he essentially follows this trope when leading his allies into battle, he favors doing whatever he can on his own to carry a mission forward and only gives orders when it's absolutely necessary.
* SeriousBusiness: It's implied that the New Kid sees his Facebook account as this, to the point where one sidequest has him confront Al Gore in response to the former vice-president spamming the New Kid's Facebook with posts.
* ShockAndAwe: As a Mage, he can use Lightning Volt, which runs through target's armor and shields.
* SilentSnarker: The silent acceptance he shows all the crazy things around him makes him feel like this.
* TheStoic: He always wears the same poker face, doesn’t talk, and generally comes across as aloof and stony to pretty much everyone.
* SurpassedTheTeacher: [[spoiler:If he decides to fight Cartman (who, mind you is the guy that taught the New Kid how to fight) after the school siege, he proves more than a match for his mentor in [[DuelBoss one-on-one combat.]]]]
* ThreePointLanding:
** He lands this way after dodging [[spoiler:[[ItMakesSenseInContext his dad's balls]]]].
** He also does it after executing a perfect Ground Pound as a Fighter.
* VirtualPaperDoll: He can be equipped with various pieces of equipment, which doubles as this.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: The special power that has caused him to be hunted by the government is [[spoiler:the ability to quickly gain lots of friends on any social media network.]]
* WhenHeSmiles: Whenever Butters heals him.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Wholesome enough to fool a doctor who performs an abortion on him. After that storyline, various female outfits become available and the player can decide to keep crossdressing.
* YoungestChildWins: This kid is the youngest of his team, yet by the end of the game they prove to be one of the most badass fighters in South Park [[spoiler: and befriend almost everyone in town]].

* BadassAdorable: Is clearly trying to be one. Even though she doesn't take on her anime appearance in this game [[spoiler:except before her final boss fight]], Kenny uses some cute and feminine "princess" mannerisms, which are still adorable combined with his usual muffled speech.

* BadassBeard: He can wear fake ones.
* BadassMustache: Also fake, but ''still''.

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Professor Chaos. Also subverted in a way, since he retains the "villainous" mannerisms but is not really any more "evil" than Butters himself in this game.

* {{Irony}}: The fact that he's a black guy in a group called the KKK never really hits him. He even shouts "For the KKK" as a battlecry.

* IFightForTheStrongestSide: [[spoiler:Or for the side with the coolest base, on any case, according to his own words.]]

* GrievousHarmWithABody: He can punt Ike at his enemies. It's quite possibly one of the most damaging single target abilities in the game, particularly effective against Nazi Zombies, appropriately enough.

'''Ike:''' Don't kick the goddamn baby! (punted) Wheeeee!

* HotBlooded: A carry-over from the show. Here, it's weaponized as his unique trait; he can improve his and the New Kid's damage output by angrily calling for violence. He also lets an inarticulate scream of rage loose when using his basic attack.
* IKnowMaddenKombat: He uses the Golf Club by setting a golf ball, and knocking it right into the enemy's face.

* TheNecromancer: [[spoiler:He uses the green goo (which he thinks is Taco Bell green sauce) from the crashed UFO to raise his army of darkness. Yes, those are Nazi zombies.]]

--> "[[spoiler:[[FamousLastWords Um... Okay, um, you know what, I'm not playing anymore.]]]]"

* BadassInCharge: He's the ruler of Kingdom of Kupa Keep and a powerful character.

* SquishyWizard: As strong as Cartman's magic is, his defense and HP are quite low. [[{{Irony}} Ironic, given his girth.]]

* BorrowedCatchphrase: [[spoiler:His only actual line of dialogue in ''The Stick of Truth''.]]

* CreepyCrossdresser: Mostly {{averted|Trope}}; Kenny's princess getup is legitimately cute and completely hilarious. [[spoiler:Played straight when she becomes a Nazi Zombie.]]

* AdaptationalHeroism: Who would've guessed ''[[{{FatBastard}} Cartman]]'', of all people could ever take the role of the BigGood, rather than the TokenEvilTeammate?

* BigGood: Yes, ''[[{{FatBastard}} Cartman]]'' of all people is the BigGood in this game.

* FanDisservice[=/=]FullFrontalAssault: [[spoiler:When holding the Stick and believing he doesn't have to follow anyone's rules any more, he decides to strip naked on the spot. He's a fairly old man.]]

* {{Kawaiiko}}: Kenny acts like a cute, flirtatious teenage girl in this game to fit his princess persona. But since Princess Kenny isn't in her ultra-kawaii anime incarnation and his crossdressing isn't convincing at all, this makes him come across as {{Adorkable}} instead.

* {{Adorkable}}: Kenny fails so hard at being a pretty princess that he falls into this.
