History Characters / TrashSkillGacha

* TooDumbToLive: Despite repeatedly telling himself he's "not stupid," he's so moronic he deserves a Darwin Award. First, he tries to convince Minue to ditch ''a summon from the king'' to go play around with him. Duke house or not, that's ''lése-majestè'' and the king could well kill him for the affront with legal impunity. He openly ignores the warnings of the gatekeepers, who've been there for years, that the monsters he will face are '''far''' more dangerous than he's used to in [Upper World], both in cunning and strength, and lastly, he abuses his knights with death threats, physical assault, and forcing those with [Detect] magic to keep it on at all times, making them run out of mana when they really need it. Lastly, he ignores Crest's mercy due to an attack of unfounded aristocratic pride and attacks him from behind when Crest has him outgunned and outnumbered 3 to 1, his knights out of commission, and he pays absolutely no attention to his surroundings, letting a flock of goblins take him by surprise.

* AssumedWin: When the pope's prophecy is being read aloud after Ellis and Minue are called upon as god's chosen heroes, he thinks the third name is going to be his until he hears the word "Gacha" and his mouth agape in shock.

[[folder: Leon Bahurst]]

[[folder: Marnaas]]

* ApologizesAlot: Invoked. If she doesn't apologize for every other sentence, Leon beats her around.

[[folder: Leon's knights]]

* TemptingFate: After seeing his partner get beheaded by Goblia kicking him in the teeth, one of the knights closes his faceplate and yells "Now you can't hurt me!" Goblia finds a way, and his death is... messy.

[[folder: Ellis Rifeld]]

* ObliviouslyEvil: She's made Crest's abusive childhood '''worse''' with her twisted affections, but it's not until Crest is telling her to go screw herself and he's exiled that she comes to realize this is a bad thing, and even then she thinks a simple apology is all she needs to do to get back into his good graces, insisting on calling Crest hers.

* VanityIsFeminine: She is a woman who has believed that her beauty surpasses that of angels since she was a small child. It doesn't get any more vain than that.

! Mycelin House

[[folder: Minue Mycelin]]

[[folder: King Resifel Kincaid VII]]

* RageBreakingPoint: When Minuet and Ellis are arguing before him along the lines of Minuet going "You had a hand in getting Crest exiled and he hates you, Ellis" and Ellis retorting "It's not '''my''' fault, it's yours/his" and Minuet retorts "Oh, yes it is, and Crest is not yours!" The king gets fed up and shouts "I don't care who brings him back, just bring him back NOW!"

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Downplayed. His sword breaks fighting a bull-type monster, so he takes a martial arts stand and uses [Martial Arts] magical skill to punch it in the head as its charging. Even with the magical skill and all his stats being boosted, the act leaves his hand mangled. In reality, even if such an act succeeded, the guy trying it would probably have all the bones in his entire arm crushed, presuming the bull's charge didn't knock him to the ground and get him trampled.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: When one of them turtles and covers every inch of his body in plate-mail, Goblia bypasses the armor using a martial arts strike that hits like a pile driver. The knight in question has his organs liquified and blood oozes out of every joint in the armor. This is precisely why explosions in water are so dangerous. When a situation occurs where concussive force enters the body but can't get out, the shockwaves bounce around like an endless wave of pinballs, wrecking everything in their path.

* HateSink: All of Crest's family are lamentable pieces of human garbage, but this guy takes the cake. Of his brothers, Albert dealt the most physical and psychological abuse to Crest, such as killing Crest's pet dog and placing the blame on him for being too weak to stop him in the manga. When he volunteers to bring Crest back, he plans to use a slave collar on him, and once reunited, Albert resorts to pressing Crest's TraumaButton to get him to cooperate. Additionally, Albert is a [[BadBoss terrible leader]], berating and viciously beating the knights he brought him for their perceived incompetence, even killing one for understandably [[ScrewThisI'mOutOfHere getting tired of his shit and wanting to go back to the Upper World]].

* DomesticAbuser: She loved to publicly and privately humiliate and torment Crest, starting with mounting him like a horse and whipping him with a riding crop, just for her own pleasure. Even as he's being chewed out by his father "for lying," she can clearly be seen smiling in pure bliss as his face was dyed in despair.
* EntitledToHaveYou: To Crest. Even when Crest himself tells her to go and screw herself, she still thinks he's hers and refuses to brook any counter argument.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: When Minuet tells her that Crest doesn't care for being in a GildedCage and just wants to be free, her response is "freedom, what's that?" and can't understand, for the life of her, why Crest would prefer death to being her "dog" and being treated as a slave in the lap of luxury.

* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: The reason she initially fixates on Crest is because he doesn't swoon and fawn all over her, instead asking her to stay away due to being seen as a pariah by his family.

* MaliciousSlander: While she and Crest were in the knight academy, her obsession with keeping Crest for herself, to the point of socially isolating him, she spread rumors to intentionally destroy his reputation so nobody would want to approach him. This is a major contributing factor leading to his eventual exile and having him spurn her when she comes knocking, trying to force him into a LeonineContract.

* VanityIsFeminine: She is a woman who has believed that her beauty surpasses that of angels, since she was a small child. It doesn't get any more vain than that.
* WrongAssumption: She presumed that when Crest was "caught lying" at the appraisal ceremony, that he'd have no choice but to accept her "offer" of a lifetime of treatment as a slave and she'd own him for life. She was ''almost'' right, but by that point Crest had suffered enough indignities and resolved himself to face death rather than tolerate one more moment of her selfish whims.

* AdaptationalSympathy: He's a lot less sympathetic in the manga than the original web-novel. In the web-novel, he's only cruel to Crest because that's how he was raised, being told over and over again that Crest murdered their mutual mother and got away with it, and he's cruel to the knights attending him because he was also raised to believe that the family knights are disposable pawns whose job is to protect him and his interests at all costs, and they are to be harshly punished for failure. In the manga, he's a sadistic monster who uses all of the above as an excuse for his cruelty and openly enjoyed brutalizing Crest, especially by murdering any living thing that got close to the poor boy and blaming Crest himself for it, just to traumatize him into being so abjectly terrified that he would never dare resist.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the original web-novel, all he did was use "sparring practice" as an excuse to beat Crest up. In the manga, a flashback shows him and the rest of his brothers beating Crest down while he murdered Crest's pet and then made it abundantly clear that he'll keep on brutalizing Crest for the rest of his life as a "parent killer."

* BackstabBackfire: Crest would have straight up killed him if Goblina didn't stop him, instead walking away and telling Albert to go home and deliver the message that Crest is ''not'' coming back. Albert "thanks" him for the mercy by grabbing the slave collar in his pocket and attacking Crest from behind. Some nearby goblins take the opportunity to attack him from behind in return, break his legs, chain his arms, strip him naked and drag him off to use as breeding stock. BWAHAHA!
* BadBoss: He shouts death-threats at the knights his father provided for him and beat them up to vent his frustrations.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: In the manga, he is ''on screen'' shown beating up Crest's pet dog to death while Crest's three other brothers held him down so he couldn't fight back, and then promising that '''Crest''' is the one who is unforgivable and he'd go out of his way to destroy everything Crest ever hold dear, be prepared.
* BarbaricBully: He would beat the ever loving shit out of Crest, or have his three brothers do it, while destroying Crest's possessions, especially living animals, specifically for the purpose of making Crest too traumatized to ever resist their commands.

* BlamingTheVictim: In addition to all the stuff his father blames on Crest, he blames Crest being "weak and incompetent" for straight up murdering his pet right in front of him, after the rest of his brothers beat him down 3 on 1, purely to traumatize him further.
* ExitPursuedByABear: A tribe of friendly goblins breaks his arms and legs and drag him off to use as breeding stock. Bwahaha!

* {{Hypocrite}}: He’s extremely vicious at his tortures of his youngest brother, Crest, even going as far as to force him to watch as he kills his pet dog, and he has the audacity to label ''him'' the monster. Just because their mother died giving birth to Crest, something that was beyond Crest’s control.

* TooDumbToLive: Despite repeatedly telling himself he's "not stupid," he's so moronic he deserves a Darwin Award. First, he tries to convince Minuet to ditch ''a summon from the king'' to go play around with him. Duke house or not, that's ''lése-majestè'' and the king could well kill him for the affront with legal impunity. He openly ignores the warnings of the gatekeepers, who've been there for years, that the monsters he will face are '''far''' more dangerous than he's used to in [Upper World], both in cunning and strength, and lastly, he abuses his knights with death threats, physical assault, and forcing those with [Detect] magic to keep it on at all times, making them run out of mana when they really need it. Lastly, he ignores Crest's mercy due to an attack of unfounded aristocratic pride and attacks him from behind when Crest has him out gunned and outnumbered 3 to 1, his knights out of commission, and he paid absolutely no attention to his surroundings, letting a flock of goblins take him by surprise.

* AssumedWin: When the pope's prophecy was being read aloud, after Ellis and Minuet are called upon as god's chosen heroes, he thinks the third name is going to be his, until he hears the word "Gacha" and is mouth agape in shock.
* CasanovaWannabe: Just like Albert, he believes he's a genuine lady's man, when he's a total boor.

* JustFollowingOrders: During the first family meeting regarding Crest, when Igril protests "but I never bullied Crest," he counters "yeah, because you ordered me to do it for you!" Pointing to the family policy of the first born's orders being absolute, unless countered by orders from dad.

* FantasticRacism: In his eyes, simply being a demi-human means you're a "sinner" that deserves to be enslaved and slapped around. Sadly, this view is shared by the vast '''majority''' of the humans in his kingdom and a few others.

* TheSociopath: He showed some signs of it in the original novel, like seeing all his brothers as nothing more than unwanted competition for the duke title, useful pawns, or both. In the manga, it is far more pronounced, as he has a pathological need to be amused by trampling Crest, and when that's thwarted, demands vengeance for "being looked down on" or "countless humiliations," has an overblown view of his own importance, enforcing it with violence, has absolutely no empathy or sympathy for anyone, and while he almost immediately became a mindless murder machine after swallowing the mana stone in the original novel, in the manga, he completely assimilates it and maintains his consciousness, thinking he's superior to the skill-granting gods!
* SoreLoser: He feels entitled to have Crest openly let him win in any conflict, no matter how high the stakes. He takes the fact that Crest always fights him fairly, and he loses as a result, as a complete and abject humiliation, which is completely undeserved. This reaches its zenith in manga chapter 15.3 where he tries to straight up murder Crest, using the headless corpse of his fellow knight to hold Crest in place. When Crest survives in spite of that, he screams out that he "can't afford to lose any more" consumes several more stones, and then mutates into a monster blowing off Crest's arm with a huge hole in Crest's body.

[[caption-width-right:350:Forgive me, Leon-sama. The tools are ready.]]Formerly Crest's maid. She's a fox-type Youkai demi-human and expert magical tool maker.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the original web-novel, her scheme to give Leon a nice UriahGambit was just the opening salvo in her war on the kingdom, and who can blame her, considering how her '''entire race''' was treated by the racist humans. In the manga, she had no choice but to do it to be free of the abusive little psycho so she can return to her beloved master, Crest.
* ApologizesAlot: Invoked. If she doesn't apologize every other sentence, Leon beats her around.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: When one of them turtles and covers every inch of his body in plate-mail, Goblia bypsses the armor using a martial arts strike that hits like a pile driver. The knight in question has his organs liquified and blood oozes out of every joint in the armor. This is precisely why explosions in water are so dangerous. When a situation occurs where concussive force enters the body but can't get out, the shockwaves bounce around like an endless wave of pinballs, wrecking everything in their path.
* TemptingFate: After seeing his partner get beheaded by Goblia kicking him in the teeth, one of the knights closes his face-plate and yells "Now you can't hurt me!" Goblia finds a way, and his death is... messy.

[[folder: Minuet Mycelin]]

* AristocratsAreEvil: {{Averted|Trope}}. Apart from Crest, she's the only known aristocrat that is ''not'' evil.

* OnlyFriend: During their academy days, she's the only one who treated Crest with genuine kindness, asking nothing in return aside from his good will, which he was all too happy to give.

* LovingBully: Deconstructed. Crest is aware that her terrible treatment of him is due to her obsessive "love" of him, but he makes it clear that these same actions are exactly why he hates her.

* NeverMyFault: Once he reunites with Crest, he’s called out for killing his pet dog. But he has the call to blame Crest for said dog’s death because he’s “too weak and unskilled” since he couldn’t fight back. Even though the rest of his brothers were pinning down Crest as he’s killing the dog.

* KarmicRape: Delivered by unaffiliated monsters. Albert has been utterly monstrous to Crest for the boy's entire life and was happily looking to keep doing it, and as a final spit on Crest's mercy, tries to attack the latter from behind to slap a slave collar on him, not to mention brutalizing his own knights and keeping them in line with death-threats. Being the last man standing because of his own BadBoss antics, he never noticed that a swarm of goblins were coming for him. So they break his legs with a boulder and drag him off for breeding stock. Crest is spared because Goblina is with him, and he treats his tamed monsters kindly.

* TooDumbToLive: Despite repeatedly telling himself he's "not stupid," he's so moronic he deserves a Darwin Award. First, he tries to convince Minuet to ditch ''a summon from the king'' to go play around with him. Duke house or not, that's Lese Majeste and the king could well kill him for the affront with legal impunity. He openly ignores the warnings of the gatekeepers, who've been there for years, that the monsters he will face are '''far''' more dangerous than he's used to in [Upper World], both in cunning and strength, and lastly, he abuses his knights with death threats, physical assault, and forcing those with [Detect] magic to keep it on at all times, making them run out of mana when they really need it. Lastly, he ignores Crest's mercy due to an attack of unfounded aristocratic pride and attacks him from behind when Crest has him out gunned and outnumbered 3 to 1, his knights out of commission, and he paid absolutely no attention to his surroundings, letting a flock of goblins take him by surprise.

* FriendlessBackground: Thanks to his father and four elder brothers treating him like he was a murder that escaped justice, near constantly brutalizing him, and his obsessive fiancée who intentionally sabotaged his academic career to keep him to herself, he doesn't initially know how to make friends when he makes it to the lower world. The only positive experience he had being Minuet, his school assigned sparring partner who treated him with genuine kindness.

* SelfDisposingVillain: Subverted. When Crest escapes his ill-thought out murder attempt and tries to talk him down in chapter 15.3, he sees it as yet another "huge humiliation" and consumes several more magic stones. His head turns red and explodes, gushing blood in several directions, but before Crest can finish the job and pierce his heart, he stands back up again, having turned himself into a powerful mutant monster and blowing a hole in Crest's body, sending the sword arm flying, and Crest to the ground, about to die...

* SoreLoser: He feels entitled to have Crest openly let him win in any conflict, no matter how high the stakes. He takes the fact that Crest always fights him fairly, and he loses as a result, as a complete and abject humiliation, which is completely undeserved. This reaches its zenith in manga chapter 15.3 where he tries to straight up murder crest, using the headless corpse of his fellow knight to hold Crest in place. When Crest survives in spite of that, he screams out that he "can't afford to lose any more" consumes several more stones, and then mutates into a monster blowing off Crest's arm with a huge hole in Crest's body.

[[folder: Duke Rifeld]]

* IdealHero: She has the skill [Hero] and is genuinely heroic, protecting the innocent from the guilty regardless of station, to the ire of the Bahurst elder brothers who think they're above such petty things as "morality."

* SecretlySelfish: She is genuinely heroic, defending the people of the kingdom without asking for a reward, but she knows that if she's sent to the Lower World after him, she'd be tempted to never want to come back, and as her father and Ellis's are fighting over which family will send assets to try and recover Crest, all she can think of is when can she see him again.

* HeadInTheSandManagement: Granted, the balance of power is so delicate that the royal army can only match one of the three duke houses, with the duke houses keeping each other in check, but that doesn't excuse being completely ignorant of their movements, especially inter duke house marriages, like Ellis and Crest, and what's worse, being completely blindsided by very public information, like how Crest was treated at the appraisal ceremony, or how he was treated by Ellis while they were in academy together, when this is all something that may well impact his throne!

* DarkAndTroubledPast: His father and four elder brothers loved to torment him for daring to survive his mother's DeathByChildBirth. His self-proclaimed fiancé Ellis destroyed his academic career with slander and domestic abuse, obsessed about keeping him to herself at all costs. He doesn't know how to make friends because every time he tried, they'd be driven off by violence.

* FriendlessBackground: Thanks to his father and four elder brothers treating him like he was a murder that escaped justice, near constantly brutalizing him, and his obsessive fiancé who intentionally sabotaged his academic career to keep him to herself, he doesn't initially know how to make friends when he makes it to the lower world. The only positive experience he had being Minuet, his school assigned sparring partner who treated him with genuine kindness.

* MaddenIntoMisanthropy: After getting kicked around all his life by his family, getting slandered and abused by his fiancé, and mocked for "lying" about his [Skill], with not one person in the kingdom coming to his aid, and learning how the humans have abused the demi-humans before sending them to the lower world, he has given up on the human kingdom. It's no longer his concern if monsters are going to swarm the place. The best anyone who comes asking for his return is going to get is a firm "no," and he'll fight anyone who tries to make him go back. The only exception is Minuet, who treated him with genuine kindness and who he does care about, worrying if she's okay having to fight off waves of monsters.

[[caption-width-right:350:You will regret not being my slave, Crest! Don't come crying to me later!]] Crest's former fiancé. She has a very, very twisted affection for him, obsessed with keeping him all to herself and tormenting him for her own amusement, but when she learns that he really was banished is filled with regret.

* NominalHero: Combined with IdealHero. She has the skill [Hero] and is genuinely heroic, protecting the innocent from the guilty regardless of station, to the ire of the Bahurst elder brothers who think they're above such petty things as "morality."

* TooDumbToLive: Despite repeatedly telling himself he's "not stupid," he's so moronic he deserves a Darwin Award. First, he tries to convince Minue to ditch ''a summon from the king'' to go play around with him. Duke house or not, that's Lese Majeste and the king could well kill him for the affront with legal impunity. He openly ignores the warnings of the gatekeepers, who've been there for years, that the monsters he will face are '''far''' more dangerous than he's used to in [Upper World], both in cunning and strength, and lastly, he abuses his knights with death threats, physical assault, and forcing those with [Detect] magic to keep it on at all times, making them run out of mana when they really need it. Lastly, he ignores Crest's mercy due to an attack of unfounded aristocratic pride and attacks him from behind when Crest has him out gunned and outnumbered 3 to 1, his knights out of commission, and he paid absolutely no attention to his surroundings, letting a flock of goblins take him by surprise.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: When Minue tells her that Crest doesn't care for being in a GildedCage and just wants to be free, her response is "freedom, what's that?" and can't understand, for the life of her, why Crest would prefer death to being her "dog" and being treated as a slave in the lap of luxury.

* EnlightenedSelfInterest: Yes, he pushes for Crest to get justice against his evil father and brothers by having the king grant him the duke title instead, but he's doing it under the presumption that Ellis and Crest are on good terms and once they're married the family will have the armies and power of two duchies, making the family stronger than the royalty. This puts even more pressure on Ellis to get to Crest before Minue does.

[[caption-width-right:350:God, why didn't you tell me this skill was hard to use in the upper world?! Maybe I'd still be banished, but maybe I'd have better equipment?]]Fifth son of the Bahurst house. He is abjectly loathed by his father and four elder brothers as a "devil's child" because he dared to survive his mother's DeathByChildbirth. He starts the story on his 15th birthday, about to get his skill appraised, even his father expecting good results because of a prophetic dream revealing his skill to be {Gacha], an unknown skill. Unfortunately, since this skill did not come with instructions, he couldn't use it on command. Naturally, he is unilaterally accused of lying about his skill and exiled to [The Lower World], effectively a death sentence. The only plea he can make that even marginally improves his odds is getting one of his knight captors to give him a throw-away sword.
