History Characters / TokyoBabylon

* LoveYouAndEverybody: Subaru's an AllLovingHero who can't help but give a piece of his heart to everyone he knows; to Subaru, everyone is "special", which it's another way to say that no one actually is. Hokuto understands this and that's why she's so insistent on Subaru getting together with Seishirou.

* IllBoy: Yuuya, who needs an ''urgent'' kidney transplant. His twin sister Maya already died due to the same illness.

* NiceHat: A constant feature of the outfits created for him by Hokuto. Especially the memorable black hat with red band worn in his iconic red jacket/black pants outfit.

* NiceHat: Wears a black cap.

* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Yuuya's mother crosses the DespairEventHorizon and attacks Subaru [[KnifeNut with a knife]] to try extracting one of his kidneys. Seishirou blocks the attack... and guess what happens.]]

* YaoiGuys: With Seishirou, much to his embarrassment. At least, before [[spoiler: the final volume, where this goes horribly, ''horribly'' wrong.]]

* YaoiGuys: He plays this up ''big time'' with Subaru.

* {{Megane}}

* TallDarkandHandsome: [[spoiler: Seishirou]] is even more terribly handsome when he drops his kind act. Somehow this sinister sophistication is incredibly appealing.

* TheFashionista: She has an infinite wardrope of flashy, sometime over the top, outfits and she's also in charge of her brother's.

* CutePsycho: As a child.

* {{Agent Peacock}}: He's the classic sweet sixteen, blushes at just about anything and wears outrageous outfits courtesy of his sister; he has the face of a very pretty girl, large GreenEyes. His build is small and skinny and he is the youngest head ever of the Sumeragi Clan, the most powerful onmyodo users in Japan, next to their rivals the Sakurazuka Clan. He's compassionate and gentle true - but kicks serious ass with his impressive spiritual powers and exorcisms. There's a reason why at such a young age, he's the head of such a renowned clan.

* GreenEyes: A large, emerald-green pair in the manga/anime that both in-universe and out are considered to be just beautiful.

* GreenEyes: Just as beautiful as her twin's, though hers reflect her cheerful persona and hide her deadly-sharp intuition.

* PolarOppositeTwins: Subaru is introverted, naive, powerfully magical and the head of the Sumeragi family. Meanwhile, Hokuto is extroverted, energetic, fairly GenreSavvy, mostly-a-muggle and the spare child in the family.

* PolarOppositeTwins: Hokuto is extroverted, energetic, fairly GenreSavvy, mostly-a-muggle and the spare child in the Sumeragi family. This contrasts with Subaru who is introverted, naive, powerfully magical and the head of the family.

* BadassBookworm: For all his "stupid" acting, Seishirou is rather...well informed whenever he chooses to [[MrExposition reveal that side]].

* MilkyWhiteEyes: After his eye is injured. It's never clarified if his eye is totally missing and thus he wears a glass eye, or merely blinded to the point of being discolored. .

* CoolShades: The Sakurazukamori favors them - they just make him look ''[[RuleOfCool even cooler''.

* FagHag: She and Seishirou are fairly close friends, and often bake and shop together. Subverted in that she ''does'' warn him not to hurt Subaru at knifepoint in the manga, as sadi above, [[spoiler: and later sacrifices her life to protect Subaru from him.]]

* MilkyWhiteEyes: After his eye is injured. It's never clarified if his eye is totally missing and thus he wears a glass eye, or merely blinded to the point of being discolored. But more than likely it's merely blinded.

::'''The Sakurazukamori'''

::'''Lady Sumeragi'''

::'''Hashimoto'''

::'''Midori Mitsuki'''

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Played with. She said to [[spoiler:Subaru]] in the past that he was not normal in order to get him to notice her, but she didn't knew how close to home that comment was to him and how much it hurt him.

* RapeAsDrama: [[spoiler:She was beaten and raped, and for worse the people around her weren't sympathetic to her plight.]]

::'''The old man and his daughter Sachiko'''

* ElderAbuse: Emotional and Psychological example. Sachiko thinks her old father is a total burden on her middle-to-low class family, which in turn causes a lot of distress to the old man.

::'''Yuuya and his mother'''

* IllBoy: Yuuya, who needs an ''urgent'' kidney transplant. His twin sister Maya already died due to the same illness
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:While Seishirou would have revealed himself as the Sakurazukamori sooner or later, Yuuya's mother attack on him and Subaru made it happen even sooner.]]

::'''Kazumi Asou'''

* HeroesLoveDogs: [[spoiler: Subverted. She adores her brother's dog which she's taking care of now... but she kills the poor doggie to cast a spell that she wanted to use to punish Shinji.]]

Some tropes that apply to Seishirou:

!!Subaru Sumeragi

::'''Subaru Sumeragi'''

* {{Onmyodo}}: A practitioner and child prodigy, and comes from a long line of fellow onmyouji.

* {{Onmyodo}}: As expected of the Sakurazukamori and is more powerful even than Subaru and his grandmother. Possibly because he has no qualms of using dark, sinister and brutal magic to get what he wants.

* AllLovingHero: Subaru is an innate compassionate person and will always listen to people's troubles, empathize with them and try his best to help them. It's also demostrated that he holds back his own power when dealing with his cases, as he's afraid of hurting others with his might and prefers to let himself be hit.

* DreamWeaver: He can dive into people's dreams and/or consciences, and see/influence them to help the "dreamers" deal with their problems. He uses this power on [[spoiler: the raped]] Midori in the manga for example.

* NoAccountingForTaste: Subaru is too good for Seishirou, but [[spoiler: he's ''still'' in love with the man even after Hokuto is murdered and even years later in ''Manga/{{X 1999}}'']].

* AmbiguouslyBi: She and the girl she rescued in the "Smile" side-story grew awfully close, and she even refers to "going on a date with her girlfriend" in a later arc, but we find out in the [[Manga/{{X 1999}} sequel]] that she fell in love with a male DreamWeaver when she used her DreamWalker powers on him by accident.
* BigSisterInstinct: Hokuto is self-sacrificing to the utmost to achieve Subaru's happiness and she's very protective towards him, despite Subaru being the more powerfully magical of the two. She threatens to kill Seishirou if he hurts Subaru and she's only half-joking.

* FagHag: She and Seishirou are fairly close friends, and often bake and shop together.

* ThanatosGambit: [[spoiler:As detailed later in ''Manga/{{X 1999}}''. Her HeroicSacrifice was actually a gambit to both save Subaru's life and give Seishirou a LastSecondChance. It backfired horribly.]]

* {{Determinator}}: ''Very'' determined to get Subaru to love him back. For more reasons than one.

* TheSociopath: The Sakurazukamori is trained since birth to see humans are mere objects and can't really see the evil in "breaking" human beings.

* {{Agent Peacock}}: He's sweet sixteen, blushes at just about anything and wears outrageous outfits courtesy of his sister; he has the face of a very pretty girl, large GreenEyes; his build is small and skinny and he is the youngest head ever of the Sumeragi Clan; the most powerful onmyodo users in Japan, next to their rivals the Sakurazuka Clan. He's very compassionate and gentle true - but kicks serious ass with his impressive spiritual powers and exorcisms. There's a reason why at 16 he's the head of such a renowned clan.

* {{Shotacon}}: [[spoiler:During their very first meeting when 16 year old Seishirou starts the Bet, his behavior to 9 year old Subaru is drenched in this. [[FetishFuel Considering it's CLAMP though, it might be intentional.]]]]

* AngstySurvivingTwin: [[spoiler:The "Start" annex and Manga/{{X1999}} reveal that he grow bitter and detached after Hokuto's death.]]

* BreakTheCutie: Subaru is uncannily innocent and sweet, and suffers more and more as the series progresses. And he hasn't even gotten to ''Manga/{{X1999}}'' yet...

* NoAccountingForTaste: Subaru is too good for Seishirou, but [[spoiler: he's ''still'' in love with the man even after Hokuto is murdered and even years later in {{X1999}}]].

* StellarName: Like Hokuto and Seishirou, Subaru is named after a constellation -- "subaru" is the Japanese term for the Pleiades. Both he (and Hokuto, being his twin) were born under the "north star" - but the literal name went to "Hokuto," who was born first. (See her section for more). Later on in ''Manga/{{X1999}}'', [[spoiler:it is revealed Subaru is one of the Seven Seals - each Seal being born under stars in the Big Dipper.]]

* AmbiguouslyBi: She and the girl she rescued in the "Smile" side-story grew awfully close, and she even refers to "going on a date with her girlfriend" in a later arc, but we find out in the [[Manga/{{X1999}} sequel]] that she fell in love with a male DreamWeaver when she used her DreamWalker powers on him by accident.

* DreamWalker: Revealed to have this power in ''Manga/{{X1999}}''.

* ThanatosGambit: [[spoiler:As detailed later in ''Manga/{{X1999}}''. Her HeroicSacrifice was actually a gambit to both save Subaru's life and give Seishirou a LastSecondChance. It backfired horribly.]]

* AllTakeAndNoGive: He turns out to be like this to Subaru. [[spoiler: [[Manga/{{X1999}} Fuuma eventually tells Subaru much, much later - Seishirou was a very selfish man]].]]

* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: [[spoiler: Seishirou, as a sociopath, literally cannot comprehend normal human emotion. The bet he made with a young Subaru long ago was to see whether he could be made to love someone, and Seishirou claims Subaru failed. [[Manga/{{X1999}} Claims.]]]]

* YamatoNadeshiko: A RareMaleExample, and pretty much the template that CLAMP used to create [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura Fujitaka]] and [[Manga/{{X1999}} Aoki]]

* MeaningfulName: "Subaru" is the Japanese term for the Pleiades.

* CatSmile

* MeaningfulName: "Subaru" is the Japanese term for the Pleiades. Later on in ''Manga/{{X1999}}'', [[spoiler:it is revealed Subaru is one of the Seven Seals - each Seal being born under stars in the Big Dipper.]]

* StellarName: Like Hokuto and Seishirou, Subaru is named after a constellation -- "subaru" is the Japanese term for the Pleiades. Both he (and Hokuto, being his twin) were born under the "north star" - but the literal name went to "Hokuto," who was born first. (See her section for more.)

* {{Shotacon}}: [[spoiler:During their very first meeting when 18 year old Seishirou starts the Bet, his behavior to 9 year old Subaru is drenched in this. [[FetishFuel Considering it's CLAMP though, it might be intentional.]]]]

* TallDarkandHandsome: [[spoiler: Seishirou is even more terribly handsome when he drops the vet act.]] Somehow this sinister sophistication is incredibly appealing.
