* CharClone: The most iconic one is [[WorldsStrongestMan Rick Addison]] of the ''Rance'' series, but [[BadassBiker Idagawa]] [[TheRival Ren]] from ''Daibanchou'' and [[{{Eagleland}} Eagle]] [[WorthyOpponent Douglas]] from ''Daiteikoku'' also fit the bill.
** RecurringTraveller Abao Akuu more or less ''is'' Char except with a ridiculous design featuring a bright pink spacesuit and afro. Nearly every word out of his mouth is taken directly from the man himself.

* DoesNotLikeMen: ''Rance!'' He finds ugly men to be hideous wastes of space and attractive men to be threats to his harem, to a point where he'll kill a man in a heart beat if he [[DisproportionateRetribution annoys him too much]]. There are a small handful of men that he doesn't hate (Patton, Gandhi, etc.) but he's still incredibly abusive towards them and frequently forgets their names. The only men who could genuinely be called his friends are [[CoolSword Chaos]], [[CharClone Rick]] [[WorldsStrongestMan Addison]] and UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga, all of whom he has a ''heavy'' VitriolicBestBuds relationship with.

* RecurringTraveller: The most common ones being the {{Moe}}-obsessed Hanny King, his LustObject and walking MoeBlob ill girl Nozomi Okita and AfroAssKicker CharClone Abao Akuu.

* SatanicArchetype: Kayblis, the BigBad of the ''Rance'' series, seems to combine traits from a number of evil mythological figures. He is one of the first beings to exist on the Continent, confined to one realm, and eventually leads an all-out war against the opposite realm with the goal of killing a specific person, invoking [[Myth/NorseMythology Surt]]. He is a {{Mix and Match Critter|s}} who seeks to gain ultimate power, akin to [[Myth/MesopotamianMythology Anzu]], and, of course, he began life no different from the Gods' other creations, but his pride and anger led him to go against the will of his own superior, much like {{Satan}} himself. The canon timeline makes it even more apparent, by changing the antlers he had in ''Kichikuou Rance'' into outright horns, and his Archfiend form alludes to ''Literature/TheDivineComedy'''s description of Satan, having three human torsos sticking out of his mouth.
