History Characters / TalesOfInnocence

* {{Obasan}}: Hermana refers to him as one in a skit. Needless to say, he is not amused.

* RedEye: Gives one to Chitose early in the story (behind her back, of course). While not actually done on-screen, her line indicates so.[[note]]The expression she uses (''akkanbe~ga!'') literally means to give someone the red-eye gesture.[[/note]]

A new character introduced in ''Tales of Innocence R''. Kongwai is a quiet and mysterious spellcaster from another world who dislikes disputes and often takes the role of mediator. He claims that his mission is to "save the souls" of two unspecified people, [[spoiler:later revealed to be Thitose Cxarma and Hasta Ekstermi]].

* [[spoiler:SoulJar]]: His hands, as revealed near the end of the game and one skit with Luca.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Ruca/Luca

* {{Expy}}: He got one in [[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld Emil]]. Also noted for looking similar to [[DragonBallZ Trunks]]. His personality however is similar to [[JapaneseRanguage L]][[VideoGame/Mother3 ucas]]', timid, sweet boy who has to save the world.

* HeroicBSOD: The most notable of which ended up wiping out [[spoiler:Sky Castle, AKA the remains of Devalorka (from a certain point of view, heaven)]] so quickly that his friends where forced to flee [[spoiler: without him]] towards the airship.

* MagicKnight: The class he was inserted into in TalesOfTheWorld. His abilities are actually even more varied than the trope would suggest.

* {{Expy}}: He got one in [[TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld Emil]]. Also noted for looking similar to [[DragonBallZ Trunks]]. His personality however is similar to [[JapaneseRanguage L]][[VideoGame/Mother3 ucas]]', timid, sweet boy who has to save the world.

* JapanesePronouns: ''Boku''.

* JapanesePronouns: ''Ore''.

* JapanesePronouns: ''Boku''. The one time Hermana almost pushed his BerserkButton, however, he briefly switched to ''ore''.

[[folder:Other Characters]]

!!Hartman

An old butler serving Belforma nobility, and the only person whom Spada didn't cut his ties with from his family.

* TheMentor: Spada mostly learnt his philosophy from him.
* OldRetainer
* ParentalSubstitute: As noted on Spada's entry, Hartman is one for him.
* RetiredBadass: Safe to assume so.
* SupremeChef: Well, Coda truly loves his cooking, after all.

!!Edguar Allen Pwo

An eccentric old man the party encounters in Galpos Jungle, who seems to know about Chien quite a bit.

!!!Tropes applicable to both original and ''R'' versions:
* LonersAreFreaks: Well, at least half of the party see him as one.
* ShoutOut: [[Creator/EdgarAllanPoe Obviously]].

* GratuitousEnglish: Very much so. The party (sans [[TheSmartGuy Kongwai]]) naturally gets confused at what he says.

!![[spoiler:Vulcan (see below)]]

!!Asura

[[quoteright:185:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Asura185_6210.jpg]]

--> Voiced by: Creator/RikiyaKoyama

The general of the Sensus Army, who wants to get the Manifest to [[MergedReality reunite Devaloka and Naraka into one world]]. [[spoiler:This is cut short when Inanna murders him to prevent this. When he reincarnated, his anger and pain at being betrayed by Inanna and Durandal became Overlord/Mathias, and the rest became Luca]].

!!!Tropes applicable to both original and ''R'' versions:
* BoisterousBruiser
* ChickMagnet
* FriendlyEnemy: With Orifiel. [[spoiler: And after they all reincarnate, Hypnos.]]
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: The "huge guy".
* MergedReality: His goal, [[spoiler:which went awry due to Inanna and Durandal's betrayal.]]
* MommasBoy: His goal was partially influenced by Vrtra. This trait seems to carry to Luca.
* LargeAndInCharge
* LargeHam

!!!Tropes applicable to ''R'' version:

--> Voiced by: AtsukoTanaka

--> Voiced by: AtsukoTanaka

* AxCrazy

* PsychoForHire

* TookALevelInKindness: DS Albert was an ''asshole''. He intended to sacrifice Ange remorselessly, knowing full well who she is and how she felt about him and their past lives. R Albert is a bit different. [[spoiler:He intended to sacrifice himself, letting Ange use the PowerOfCreation because he deeply cared for her.]]

* MoneyFetish: She comes from a relatively poor, backwater desert village, so she's quite big on making money. She inherits Rutee's "Search Gald" move and one of her victory quotes has her scouring the ground for Gald. Her first thought at finding lost items is to grin and think what a good price they would fetch. Ruca usually brings her to her senses suggesting the more honest approach of returning the item to its owner.

* GoodShepherd: Ange is not just a cleric for looks. Before the game starts, she was using her powers to heal any kind of malady, to the point she became famous as Naos's holy woman who can cure any malady. She does so free of charge, is very understanding to children and generally dedicates herself to helping anyone in need.

* TheSocialExpert: She is very intelligent and educated in social matters regarding the church and the faithful. This is further discussed in skits. Illia notes that Ange is way too nice and very good at dealing with people. Ange says her long involvement with the church had her involved with many types of people, so she cultivated her social skills. While she's definitely a GoodShepherd, she's not as saintly as she looks. She's smart enough, however, to make no enemies.

* [[spoiler:ManipulativeBastard]]

* CrashIntoHello: With Iria. Also Kongwai in ''R''.

* DoggedNiceGuy: Has this tendency towards romance, as shown when he tried to ask Iria on a date.

* InSeriesNickname: "Dimwit Luca"[[note]]JP: Otanko Ruka[[/note]], courtesy of Iria.

* MadeOfIron: Besides being the mighty glacier of the group, story wise he survived things most people wouldn't like [[spoiler: getting impaled by Hasta, as well as Sky Castle's crash on the ground]]. And it seems that the only reason that he was wounded to that extent is because of [[spoiler: Hasta's own power]]. A skit has Iria ("accidentally") shoot him several times, point blank. It scares him and messes up his clothes, but doesn't actually ''hurt'' him.

* WithFriendsLikeThese: Luca is treated pretty badly by his two friends at home, as well as most of the party members (especially Iria and Spada). Although, said friends of his turn out to genuinely care for him, as shown when they tried to hide him from Regnum soldiers.

* BigDamnHeroes: ''Twice''. First is when Spada and Iria are cornered by the Gigantess in the beginning, and later when he arrives just in time to deliver Spada's weapons during the battle against Hasta.

* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: Invoked by Spada in the beginning...before he proceeds to save him and Iria several panels later.

!!Iria Animi

Iria is a [[{{Tsundere}} loud]][[HotBlooded mouthed]] girl from a small town which was attacked by the Arca cult. As a result, she has sworn revenge on the cult and on its leader, Mathias. A small critter named Coda follows her around, but is never explained in the plot. Iria probably has the most [[AmnesiacDissonance conflict of memories]] out of all the characters. She is the reincarnation of Inanna.

Iria wields [[GunsAkimbo two guns]]. Her element is water (and wind in ''R''), and she also gains a handful of healing spells.

* AmnesiacDissonance: [[spoiler: Inanna was the one who caused Asura's death and the fall of Devaloka. Iria, of course, knows nothing about this.]]

* ChewingTheScenery: Iria's voice actress really plays up the ''[[{{Tsundere}} tsuntsun]]'' side of Iria's personalitly, possibly even to LargeHam levels.

--> '''Iria:''' Aaarrggh, I can't hear you I--CAN'T--HEAR--YOU!!! Come on Ricardo, just do it already!
* IHatePastMe: She starts the story rather annoyed at the whole past life thing, since it's the reason she had to run away from home. She also thinks Inanna wasn't a very nice person when it comes to the whole Sakuya situation. This culminates with TheReveal [[spoiler:that her past life stabbed Asura in the back,]] at which Iria outright despises her and vows to be different. Iria doesn't hesitate to show her distaste when Inanna appears in her dreams to bequeath her with her second Mystic Arte, Ruined Vain Wish.

* BlowYouAway: Spada's wind spells now belong to Iria. Some of her physical artes also have wind affinity.

* BlowYouAway: Although in ''R'', only for some of the physical artes, as wind spells now belong to Iria.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: To Hasta, same deal with Iria.
* BookDumb: Church and politics fly way over his head, to the point where he complains to everyone to hurry the conversation along. When he sees Ange reading, he freaks out because her books have too many kanji and not enough pictures of pretty girls. He even notes that despite his rich upbringing, he wasn't the type to learn theoretical stuff very fast. He and Iria get mad when this comes up.

* EmbarrassingNickname: ''"Obocchama"''[[note]]Young Master[[/note]]. Iria mercilessly mocks him for this. Justified since he doesn't like his family at all.
* EvilLaugh: Every time he and Iria plan to pick on Luca. [[HypocriticalHumor Then they proceed to note how creepy the other's laugh is.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In addition to his tendency to pick on Luca, he is quite brash, as shown in his encounter with Kongwai and QQ. That said, he will protect his friends at all costs, even more so if it is Luca or Iria.
* TheLancer of the FiveManBand: Sometimes. Flip-flops with Iria on this role.

* ButtMonkey: Much less so than Luca, but in some victory quotes, his attempts to [[BadassBoast look cool]] tend to be ruined by other party members (usually by Iria, Hermana, and Luca).

* BigDamnHeroes: On both the giving and receiving ends of this - he first breaks Luca and Iria free from the research facility, and later Luca saves him twice.

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Noted by Iria and Ange in a skit. HilarityEnsues.

* WhatTheHellHero: Spada (and Iria, to lesser extent) are not amused when he doesn't seem to care for Luca's well-being [[spoiler:after he gets stabbed by Hasta]]. To his defense, it's not like he is not worried - it's simply in [[ShellShockedVeteran his nature]].

* EmbarrassingNickname: "Rika-chan" in one victory quote, among other things. Again, courtesy of Iria.

* LampshadeHanging: He does have his moments in the original, but ''R'' somehow cranks this further with him lampshading the shenanigans around him during victory poses (for example, Spada and Iria's {{Evil Laugh}}s).

* ActionGirl: Maybe not on par with Hermana or Iria, but it certainly counts when a healer is as adept at self-defense as she is.

--> '''Iria:''' Hot damn! She just stepped onto a land mine!

* TheSocialExpert: She is very intelligent and educated in social matters regarding the church and the faithful. This is further discussed in skits. Iria notes that Ange is way too nice and very good at dealing with people. Ange says her long involvement with the church had her involved with many types of people, so she cultivated her social skills. While she's definitely a GoodShepherd, she's not as saintly as she looks. She ''can'', however, appear to like everyone and make no enemies.

* StickyFingers: She (of all people) is the only one in the party who has Thievery skill. In the original, Iria and Hermana will call her out on this the first time you use her skill. Note that the jewel she gives Ricardo in order to convince him to enter a contract with her is an heirloom of Regnum's royal family that was donated to the sanctuary in Naos. Yeah.

Iria's pet muse, a mouse-like critter, who really likes food.

* SignatureLaugh: ''Nufufufufufufu~''. Less apparent than Iria and Spada, however.

* ICantHearYou: In a non-verbal, less comedic example than Iria. [[spoiler:When Kongwai inquires her what she was doing in the world of ''Innocence'', she gives this gesture in response as if to taunt him.]]

The mysterious masked leader of Arca, an influential cult of Avatars who seek to capture the Manifest. She appears at the beginning of the game, trying to capture Iria for unknown reasons.

* NoSympathyForGrudgeholders: ''Everyone'' tells Matthias they've had enough of their past selves haunting their current lives, and that she can keep her obsessive grudge against the world to herself. Iria, in particular, says she has no sympathy for someone so positively stubborn and unable to move on and live a new life. Only Ruca pities her a little, but Matthias just swears revenge against them for her next life.

* FatalFlaw: Unlike the heroes (particularly Iria, her [[TheRival rival]]), she never gets past her former life and is ultimately consumed by it.
* HateAtFirstSight: Same deal with Iria. See her entry for more details.
* HeyYou: Again, see Iria's entry.

* ButtMonkey: [[spoiler:Luca and Iria are completely unaware of his presence when he tries to talk to them in a skit. He proceeds to cry afterwards while lamenting how Cer and Ber are the only ones who can understand him.]]

* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: His dynamics with the party are bound to end as this, especially with Iria.

* MotorMouth: And in the worst possible kind. This gets to the point of Iria always covering her ears once he starts rambling.

* InSeriesNickname: "Pigwald", courtesy of Hasta. Later, even Iria calls him using the same nickname.

* LoveRedeems: Perhaps. [[spoiler:In the skit where Iria unlocked the Avatar Mystic Arte, Inanna asked Iria to use her power for "protecting Asura's reincarnation".]]

* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: She first met Asura when she defected from Ratio by walking in the middle of the battlefield and pleding her loyalty to him. Everyone stopped fighting, mesmerized by her beauty. This follows the usual trend of fertility goddesses.

* BookDumb: A common joke she shares with Spada is that the politics and war conversations are too hard on their heads. She gets mad if you mention it. She is not, however, unintelligent, just too impatient for long conversations. Her dream is to become a school after all, since there wasn't one in her village.

* BookDumb: Church and politics fly way over his head, to the point where he complains to everyone to hurry the conversation along. He even notes that despite his rich upbringing, he wasn't the type to learn theoretical stuff very fast. He and Iria get mad when this comes up.

* JapanesePronouns: ''Ore'', befitting his rough mannerisms.

* ColdSniper: Though gradually goes from this to FriendlySniper.

* JapanesePronouns: ''Atashi''.

--> ''"Thanatos": You can tell those old men they need to hurry up and get lost from this world.''

Asura's lover. By all appearances, the two are completely devoted to each other. However, Inanna opposes the plan to seize the Manifest and merge Devaloka with Naraka, and pleads repeatedly with Asura to give up his war. [[spoiler:She was actually sent with Durandal by the Ratio to get close to Asura and assassinate him. When it's clear that he's not going to give up his plan, she stabs him with Durandal.]]

* LadyOfWar

The mysterious masked leader of Arca, an influential cult of Avatars who seek to capture the Manifest. [[spoiler:She is actually a {{reincarnation}} of Asura, born from his pain and hatred upon being betrayed by Inanna; as a result, Mathias bears the appearance of Inanna herself. While the majority of Arca believe that Mathias wishes to use the Manifest to create a utopia for Avatars, her true intention is to destroy the world.]]

* MadeOfIron: Besides being the mighty glacier of the group, story wise he survived things most people wouldn't like [[spoiler: getting impaled by Hasta, as well as Sky Castle's crash on the ground]].
** And it seems that the only reason that he was wounded to that extent is because of [[spoiler: Hasta's own power]]. A skit has Iria ("accidentally") shoot him several times, point blank. It scares him and messes up his clothes, but doesn't actually ''hurt'' him.

* StickyFingers: She (of all people) is the only one in the party who has Thievery skill. In the original, Iria and Hermana will call her out on this the first time you use her skill.

--> Voiced by: AkikoKimura

* TheAtoner: The reason she was detained in Naos Base is that her powers went out of control and destroyed sanctuary she had taken residence in. She let herself be captured out of guilt and feels she is dangerous, but Kongwai and Spada convince her that healing people and doing good is the best way to redeem herself.

* GoodShepherd

* JapanesePronouns: ''Watashi''.

* GagBoobs: Hermana references to her assets rather often, and not unreasonably. The HotSpringsEpisode illustration shows her to be quite stacked.
