!Einst Alfimi
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alfimi.png]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukoMizutani

Created exclusively for ''Impact'', when the Einst declare humanity needs a reboot via their own "{{Adam and Eve|Plot}}" to make the planet grow again after they destroy it, the Einst create a clone out of Excellen, but instead of being a ManicPixieDreamGirl HardDrinkingPartyGirl, Einst Alfimi is an EmotionlessGirl. For much of ''Impact'' and ''Original Generation 2'', Alfimi attempts to persuade Kyosuke (the Einst's chosen "Adam") to join her and the Einst, but his consistent refusal forces her to capture Excellen instead, hoping this will be the way to goad him to agree with her. After Kyosuke and his allies free Excellen from the Einst's {{Brainwashing}}, they pull their ''own'' persuasion for [[HumanityIsInfectious Alfimi to break out on her own from her Einst creators]]. [[HeelFaceTurn Not only does it work]], but she helps them defeat the Einst. Unfortunately, as Alfimi's existence is tied down to the Einst, destroying the {{Eldritch Abomination}}s inevitably destroys her as well. Alfimi fades away, dying she is thankful she has made friends.

Alfimi pilots the very scary-looking Einst mecha "[[CosmicHorror Persoenlichkeit]]" (shortened into "Lichkeit" for the localization due to space restrictions). Tropes associated with Alfimi:

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Destroying the Einst inevitably destroys her as her essence is tied down with the Einst's existence; averted in ''Original Generation Gaiden'' - her body is destroyed, but her soul continues to exist. When she comes across a near death Axel in his damaged Soulgain (just before the "[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsMX Cry Wolves]]" pick him up), she merges herself within him. Six months later, when the human-engineered Jetzt break out from containment, Alfimi reawakens with a new body and Persoenlichkeit, assisting Axel with hunting down and destroyed the Jetzt]].
* DistressedDamsel: [[spoiler:Alfimi returns in the ''Second Original Generation'', but moments after she returns to the Original Generation universe from the Endless Frontier, she ends up separated with Axel and forcefully absorbed by [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationAntagonists Duvan Org and his monstrous "Alles Geist"]], who hopes to extend his remaining life. Depending on the route taken, she either [[SomethingWeForgot is left hanging as Duvan doesn't cross paths with the heroes again]] or is ejected from the Alles to accompany Axel again. The latter is considered canon]].
* EleventhHourRanger: [[spoiler:In all her playable appearances in pre-''The Moon Dwellers'', Alfimi joins the party with one of the best sets of Spirit Commands available (such as granting any ally the "Strike" Spirit Command [[note]]Ally gains 100% accuracy for one turn[[/note]] for extremely low cost). Alfimi herself gains a natural "SP Regeneration" pilot skill [[note]]Regenerate 10 SP per turn[[/note]], with her Lichkeit having HP/EN regeneration, "Full Block" [[note]]Unit and pilot are immune to negative status effects[[/note]] and "Mirror Image" [[note]]Gain a 50% chance of evading any attack[[/note]]]].
* {{Expy}}: The FinalBoss of ''Endless Frontier'', [[spoiler:the Wahrschein Lichkeit]], is basically the Persoenlichkeit through and through.
* FacialMarkings: Two red dots below the eyes of each cheek, akin to BeautyMark.
* {{Gorn}}: Notable, given the [[HumongousMecha genre]] - the Persoenlichkeit's strongest attack ''Mabuiguri'' has her send a pair of {{Familiar}}s to hold the target in place. As she makes her way, she draws her katana and [[https://youtu.be/P3wjEvrv5mU?t=73 repeatedly gouges and impales, making a bloody mess of her target]].
* GratuitousGerman: All the Persoenlichkeit's attacks are in German.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Persoenlichkeit's WeaponOfChoice; [[spoiler:incidentally becomes Alfimi's weapon in ''Endless Frontier EXCEED'']].
* LateArrivalSpoiler: These days, everyone knows Alfimi is Excellen's clone, [[spoiler:but Alfimi winding up resurrecting herself in ''Original Generation Gaiden'', all the way towards appearing in ''Endless Frontier EXCEED'' and beyond]] is STILL considered a spoiler, [[spoiler:DESPITE being on the cover of ''EXCEED'']].
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Alchemist With a Wavering Heart" (localized as "Alchemist's Query")
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Briefly seen under the Persoenlichkeit's faceplate in the animation for the ''[[BeamSpam Raigoue]]'' attack. [[http://imageshack.us/f/441/hownice.jpg/ It's not pretty]].
* PerkyFemaleMinion: For the Einst, [[spoiler:then she becomes Axel's]].
* PermanentlyMissableContent: [[spoiler:The only way to gain Alfimi in the ''Second Original Generation'' is to achieve enough "SR Points" to access the hard route for the final split in the game. If not, she [[SomethingWeForgot the apparent plot resolves without her, and Axel departs to look for her.]]]].
* PlatonicLifePartners: [[spoiler:How she and Axel behave to one another post-''Original Generation Gaiden''. Although the games are vague regarding the true nature of their relationship, Alfimi hints Axel cares about her more than he would like to admit]]
* ShipTease: Given whom she's a clone of, her affections for Kyosuke are blatant in ''Impact'' and ''Original Generation 2''. [[spoiler:Averted by ''Original Generation Gaiden'' since Alfimi's hanging around Axel for so long she decides to leave with him at the end of the game. {{Lampshaded}} by Alfimi stating she's the "only one who understands Axel". Cemented by ''Endless Frontier EXCEED'' when the game ascends them into BattleCouple]].
* SpeechImpediment: Not really, but she talks ''really'' slow. Made more jarring considering who she's a clone of.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it "Alfimi" or "Alchemie"? While technically both count, given the Einst's GratuitousGerman ThemeNaming, it's more accurately the latter.
* TokenMiniMoe: Amongst the ''Impact'' originals.
* YaoiFangirl: [[spoiler:In ''EXCEED'', one of her victory quotes with [[VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom Xiaomu]] is that she ''insists'' that it's [[{{Seme}} Aledy]] x [[{{Uke}} Axel]] instead of the other way around]].

!EINST
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/einst.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Left column (top to bottom): Einst Knocken, Einst Gemuet, Einst Glied; Right column (top to bottom): Einst Regisseur, Neue Regisseur, Stern Regisseur]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/NorioWakamoto (Neue/Stern Regisseur)

The main antagonists of ''Compact 2''/''Impact'', the Einst claim to have been around since the beginning of time, acting as the guardians of the universe and eliminate those they consider a threat to the natural order, recreating life from the ashes, if necessary. It just so happens they pick the universe where the heroes live in. To initiate their AdamAndEvePlot, the Einst create Einst Alfimi, a clone of Excellen, to have her sire a new mankind with Kyosuke, but their plans are undone when Alfimi turns on her creators and joins her human allies to destroy them instead.

Tropes regarding the Einst include:
----
[[hardline]]

* TheReveal: [[spoiler:The shuttle accident Kyosuke and Excellen were a part of? It was the Einst's doing; this event is how the Einst marked the two of them for their EvilPlan]].

*** The ODE Incident shook him quite well that when Bartolls reappear, he gave the command with the 'stoic angry' face... but without raising his voice. Everyone instantly knew that Kyosuke was ''pissed off''.

* HeroicBSOD: Combined with ILetGwenStacyDie, Kyosuke's hit with this '''three times''' in ''Original Generation Gaiden''. Absolutely mind-boggling he hasn't become TheWoobie yet; fortunately, the latter's subverted later on thanks to Axel.

** NoOneCouldSurviveThat, MadeOfIron: Shuttle incident, check; got sabotaged in his very first attempt to test a TransformingMecha, [[http://www.mangareader.net/super-robot-taisen-og-divine-wars-record-of-atx/1/10 check]]; being ripped apart by Axel, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqgrIemtzSs check]].

* [[BandagedBabe Bandaged Dude]]: In ''The Inspectors'', the AnimatedAdaptation of ''Original Generation 2'', after he gets trashed by Axel.

* AnythingThatMoves: She'll usually flirt with anyone, regardless if its an alien, homicidal maniac, old enough to be her grandfather, young enough to be her daughter, male, female, etc. However, she'll never go the full distance with them because of her [[SingleTargetSexuality devotion to Kyosuke]]. {{Fanon}}, on the other hand, [[BiTheWay likes to say otherwise]].

* PhenotypeStereotype: She's from North America; Probably counts as ForeignFanservice too.

* YaoiFangirl: In ''Exceed'', one of her victory quotes with [[VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom Xiaomu]] is that she ''insists'' that it's [[{{Seme}} Aledy]] x [[{{Uke}} Axel]] instead of the other way around.

** NoOneCouldSurviveThat, MadeOfIron: Shuttle incident, check; got sabotaged in his very first attempt to test a TransformingMecha, [[http://www.mangareader.net/super-robot-taisen-og-divine-wars-record-of-atx/1/10 check]]; being ripped apart by Axel, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqgrIemtzSs check]]. He's become this site's [[Pantheon/LifeAndCreation patron saint of "Improbable Death-Cheating"]].

** The Alt Eisen was the prototype for a proposed "Gespenst MK III" line of next-generation "[[AMechByAnyOtherName Personal Troopers]]" but due to several design flaws (it's weight chief among them) it was deemed too impractical for mass-production. It wound up in Kyouske's hands almost by accident. The designer was desperate to prove the concept could work, but couldn't find anyone who could pilot the mech effectively. That is until Kyosuke entered the picture. Despite his misgivings about the machine, he was harangued into taking it out for some field tests- just as The "[[CivilWar Divine Crusaders War]]" broke out. Without any options, he used the machine for the entire campaign.

* FoeTossingCharge: Displayed in Episode 23 of ''The Inspector'' - Kyouske [[HesBack finally returns to the front lines]] with the new and improved Alt Eisen Riese to [[spoiler:rescue a {{Brainwashed}} Excellen from the Einst]]. He {{No Sell}} a beam shot that would have taken out the ''Hagane'' and proceeds to tear his way through every Einst thrown in his path. At one point, loads of [[AnimatedArmor Einst Gemuet]] literally ''dog pile'' the Riese; Kyosuke responds by using the Alt's [[ShouldersOfDoom Claymore Launchers]] to blow half of the mess away [[note]]As in, a point-blank barrage that ''rips them to shreds''[[/note]], then makes quick work of the rest.

* PietaPlagiarism: In ''The Inspectors'' [[spoiler:when Excellen is rescued by Kyouske]], their mecha are in this pose.

* ShutUpHannibal: Kyouske knows better than to let his opponents get under his skin, so his usual response to any sort of taunt is to either ignore it or shut up 'em up with snark.

* YaoiFangirl: In ''Exceed'', if she gets a victory quote with [[VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom Xiaomu]], she ''insists'' that it's [[{{Seme}} Aledy]] x [[{{Uke}} Axel]] instead of the other way around.

** Reiji Arisu of ''NamcoXCapcom'' and Haken Browning of ''[[Characters/EndlessFrontier Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier]]''. When Kyosuke meets Haken in ''Original Generation'' {{Sequel}} ''The Moon Dwellers'', the latter nicknames him "[[MeaningfulName Gambling Wolf]]".

* {{Expy}}: Xiaomu in ''NamcoXCapcom'' and [[Characters/EndlessFrontier Kaguya Nanbu]] (to an extent) in ''Endless Frontier''.

** Going along with his gambling motif, Kyosuke's very good at weighing the playing field: sharp instincts coupled together with a fair amount of [[GenreSavvy savviness]] makes for a man who's rarely blind-sighted.

--> '''Ryusei''': "[[GenreSavvy He's furious. I've never seen him get this angry before]]."

** EnforcedTrope: [[GameBreakingInjury the Alt was also due for a serious tune-up]]: since the end of ''Original Generation'' the ATX Team had been active non-stop as part of mop-up operations and their machines were starting to wear down, particularly the Alt. Kyosuke [[GenreSavvy knew it was only a matter of time before this caught up with him]] and had wanted to avert this earlier with a major overhaul to the Alt (in fact, the sequel [[{{Foreshadowing}} opens with him arguing with a superior about this]]). Unfortunately, he was consistently sortied into battle, which didn't give the Alt any time to rest. It wasn't until Axel tore the machine apart the Riese was green-lit for approval.

* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Brutally subverted - [[spoiler:she ''[[DeadAllAlong didn't]]'' survive the shuttle accident at all; the Einst brought her back as part of their EvilPlan]].

* TheTease: [[Pantheon/{{Love}} Patron saint of this trope]]

* DistressedDamsel: [[spoiler:Alfimi returns in the ''Second Original Generation'', but moments after she returns to the Original Generation universe from the Endless Frontier, she ends up separated with Axel and forcefully absorbed by [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationAntagonists Duvan Org and his monstrous "Alles Geist"]], who hopes to extend his remaining life. Depending on the route taken, she either perishes inside the Alles Geist or is ejected from the Alles to accompany Axel again. The latter is considered canon]].

* PermanentlyMissableContent: [[spoiler:The only way to gain Alfimi in the ''Second Original Generation'' is to achieve enough "SR Points" to access the hard route for the final split in the game. If not, she will be KilledOffForReal in the easy route of the final split]].

** FanPreferredCouple, IfItsYouItsOkay: Due to a particular line of dialogue in ''Original Generation'', it's not uncommon to see an Excellen/[[Characters/SuperRobotWars Viletta Vadim]] pairing thanks to Excellen stating she'd make an exception for her. On the other hand, most fans will practically ship Excellen [[LauncherOfAThousandShips with anyone and anything]].

** The Alt Eisen's a FlawedPrototype, the first in the proposed "Gespenst MK III" line of next-generation "[[AMechByAnyOtherName Personal Troopers]]" but its bulk, speed and unorthodox weaponry rendered it clumsy and impractical for mass-production. The only model ever produced had been gathering dust in a hanger and seemed to be destined for the scrap heap, until Kyosuke's piloting abilities were noticed. Though he was only supposed to take it out for a few test runs, the "[[CivilWar Divine Crusaders War]]" broke out and, without any options, he used the machine for the entire campaign, making the mecha his.

* AlphaStrike: Alt Eisen's "Trump Card" and Alt Eisen Riese's "Claymore Overlord". The exact sequence varies between games, but he typically stars it off with a barrage to stun the opponent, closes the distance with a dash attack, then unloads everything else at point blank range.

* GotMeDoingIt: In the OG games his habit of using gambling metaphors proves to be extremely catchy; {{lampshaded}} by Excellen who calls it the "Kyosuke disease".

* AlphaStrike: Alt Eisen's "Trump Card" and Alt Eisen Riese's "Claymore Overlord". The exact sequence varies between games, but it typically stars with a barrage, then dashing in to unload everything else at point blank range.

* AlphaStrike: Alt Eisen's "Trump Card" and Alt Eisen Riese's "Claymore Overlord"

* [[FourTemperamentEnsemble Five Temperament Ensemble]]: In the ATX Team, Excellen would be the "Sanguine".

* MidSeasonUpgrade: The ''Impact'' and Gameboy Advance ''Original Generation 2'' Rein reverts back to the original; ''Original Generations'' {{Retcon}}s this with the Rein staying as it is. If players plan on getting this in ''Impact'', [[spoiler:the [[Manga/GetterRobo Shin Getter Robo]] is LostForever]]. However, getting the latter disables [[CombinationAttack Rampage Ghost]] as the Rein cannot intitate it with the Alt Eisen Riese in this game.

* [[strike:{{Cold|Sniper}}]] [[FriendlySniper REALLY REALLY COLORFUL Sniper]]
** She does exhibit a variation of the ColdSniper briefly: [[spoiler:when several characters are tending to [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Aya Kobayashi]] after Ingram betrays them, almost all are ready to lie to her face about his FaceHeelTurn. When Aya wakes up, Excellen jumps in before the others get to speak and bluntly tells her Ingram hasn't only betrayed them, but he was the one who shot down Aya in the R-3 Powered. Everyone's shocked the primarily jovial and light-hearted Excellen would be so outright cold and break Aya's heart]].

* ShoutOut: TONS

* DistressedDamsel: [[spoiler:Alfimi returns in the ''Second Original Generation'', but moments after she returns to the Original Generation universe from the Endless Frontier, she ends up separated with Axel and forcefully absorbed by [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationAntagonists Duvan Org and his monstrous "Alles Geist"]], who hopes to extend his remaining life. Depending on the route taken (see LostForever), she either perishes inside the Alles Geist or is ejected from the Alles to accompany Axel again. The latter is considered canon]].

* LostForever: [[spoiler:The only way to gain Alfimi in the ''Second Original Generation'' is to achieve enough "SR Points" to access the hard route for the final split in the game. If not, she will be KilledOffForReal in the easy route of the final split]].
