87 | %%Zero-Context Example * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking |
88 | * BlueOni: To Bast. |

157 | * {{BFS}}: Trevor wields one. Cue "[[CompensatingForSomething compensating]]" jokes from Sick. |

168 | * {{Metaphorgotten}}: Trevor, constantly. |
169 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: [[spoiler:After Brunhild gives them demonic powers, they become a major obstacle to Elysium.]] |
170 | ** WhosLaughingNow: Their reaction to this. |
171 | * OneManArmy: [[spoiler:As the Demon Commandos, the two of them manage to put up a hell of a fight against the entire Elysium army. For game purposes, each counts a ''thousand'' soldiers... and defeating them just means they back down long enough for you to flee.]] |
172 | * OneHandedZweihander: [[spoiler:Demon Trevor]] wields his (technically [[VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing three-handed]]) {{BFS}} in one hand. |
173 | * {{Parody}}: Trevor's insistence on carrying a sword that is ''far'' too large for him to adequately use (and even lampshaded as such) is a pretty blatant pisstake of JRPG heroes like [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud Strife]], who wield impractically large swords. It ties into him being a villainous JokeCharacter, though. Later on [[spoiler:this gets turned right back around when he becomes a demon who ''can'' wield it in a ridiculously effective fashion]]. |

811 | * {{Deconstruction}}: He's your typical devout vampire hunter... and a ridiculous fanatic. |

813 | * GuestStarPartyMember: Can be permanently re-recruited in a late-game sidequest. |
814 | * HealingHands: His "Aura" command. |

821 | * SoLongAndThanksForAllTheGear: Temporarily, but it takes so long until you re-recruit him that the armour you left him with will have become completely useless. Oh, and he left just before a [[spoiler:non-existant]] climactic boss fight, so he's likely to "steal" good equipment. |

851 | * FlatCharacter: Subverted. His interview makes him seem like a boring guy who doesn't have anything in his life beyond fighting. Outsider's interview, however, reveals that he ''does'' have a story (albeit one he won't tell). Specifically, he's a former miner that Outsider trained to defend himself during an uprising. |

876 | * ChefOfIron: Both a mercenary and a competent chef. |
877 | * CrutchCharacter: When he joins you, he's over-leveled and accordingly powerful. But once the others catch up with him, he will be awfully slow and inaccurate. |
878 | * DiscOneNuke: When you can first hire him, he has about a five-level lead on everyone else in the party. |

907 | A martial artist who believes that size is the key to victory. |
908 | ---- |
909 | * {{Acrofatic}}: Subverted. He challenges you to a race, but is ''way'' too slow to ever win unless you [[ILetYouWin let him]]. |
910 | * BareFistedMonk: He wields an upgradable gauntlet, but most of his attack power is determined by his strength. |
911 | * DefeatEqualsFriendship: Inverted. You have to lose to him in a race to recruit him, as he thinks it shows that you share his belief that speed is worthless. |

917 | !!Shin |
918 | A mysterious being with control over the powers of darkness and an unsettling effect on those near him. |
919 | ---- |
920 | * AlternateCharacterInterpretation: In-universe. Nobody is quite sure just ''what'' Shin is, which leads to Sef seeing him as the local equivalent of {{Satan}} and Daniel seeing him as some sort of EldritchAbomination. The true answer is never revealed. |
921 | %%Zero-Context Example * BlackEyesOfEvil |
922 | %%Zero-Context Example * BlackEyesOfEvil |
923 | %%Zero-Context Example * CastingAShadow |
924 | %%Zero-Context Example * DarkIsEvil |
925 | * TheDarkSide: He's connected to it, somehow... Maybe it's better that we don't know the details. |
926 | * DealWithTheDevil: He is apparently capable of offering these to willing souls. |
927 | * DiabolusExMachina: There is no explanation, no information, or even a one-off bit of dialogue that explains what manner of creature Shin is. He simply exists to horrify everything around him. |
928 | %%Zero-Context Example * EvilIsDeathlyCold |
929 | * GlassCannon: In terms of physical defence but he's a surprisingly good magical tank. |
930 | * HumanoidAbomination: He ''technically'' looks like a human being. Specifically, a pale-skinned corpse. With BlackEyesOfEvil. He is most definitely '''''NOT''''' one, though. |
931 | * MageKiller: His stats lean towards this. |
932 | * NightmareFuel: In-universe, Meiko regards him as this. He's so utterly horrifying that she can't actually conduct her interview and just breaks down in a nervous panic. |
933 | * {{Satan}}: Sef's recruitment path very much portrays him as the equivalent in ''Exit Fate'''s world, as he is an evil, corrupting force that tempts Soth to TheDarkSide with an allure of power. The fact that we get nothing denying that this is the case makes him all the worse. |
934 | * TheQuietOne: Don't expect much out of him other than "Hmm." |
935 | * UncannyValley: In-universe, Meiko regards him as looking too inhuman to hold a proper interview with. This is one of the many reasons why she just breaks down in front of him. His character sprite also seems to have been designed with this in mind, as his attack motion is very stiff and rigid. Almost as if he's not comfortable in a human body... |

951 | ** [[spoiler:Subverted. Daniel tries to invoke this regarding him after it worked out numerous times, but he refuses.]] |

1000 | [[folder:The Hand of Fate ('''MASSIVE SPOILERS''')]] |
1001 | !!The Hand of Fate |
1002 | A demon with the power to manipulate the fate of its host. Siegfried summoned the Hand into his unborn son, Daniel, killing his wife, Sigrid, in the process, so Daniel would have the power to conquer the world and put an end to war. |
1003 | ---- |
1004 | * AGodAmI: A variation. It already possesses godlike power. Most of its character arc, if one can call it that, is spent trying to figure out what it plans to ''do'' with it. |
1005 | * BecauseDestinySaysSo [=/=] ImmuneToFate [=/=] ScrewDestiny: One of the perks of being possessed by the Hand is that it effectively allows you to reshape fate however you wish. However, even this isn't enough to save it from a beatdown at Daniel's hands during the FinalBoss battle. |
1006 | * BlankWhiteEyes: When possessing Daniel. |
1007 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: Being a demonic spirit, if the Hand has any kind of morality then it is completely and utterly unknowable to mortal minds. |
1008 | * EldritchAbomination: Like all spirits, the Hand's true nature is unknown. While nobody knows whether said spirits are the souls of the dead, demonic entities or something else entirely. However, the Hand takes the cake for being something so great and terrible it ''surpasses'' most of, if not all, the spirits in terms of its power. |
1009 | * ElementalPowers: Its main one is LightTheWay. However, when it combines with Brunhild and Sigrid's spirit, it gains the ability to summon "Fingers" of each element. |
1010 | %%Zero-Context Example * EnemyWithin |
1011 | ** EnemyWithout: It possesses Brunhild during the final battle, turning it into this. |
1012 | %%Zero-Context Example * FinalBoss |
1013 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "Hand" which is actually "The One Who Is Torn Apart" from ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}. |
1014 | %%Zero-Context Example * LightIsNotGood |
1015 | * MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Subjectively speaking, given how high the fantasy is in ''Exit Fate''. Siegfried isn't sure whether the Hand is actually a higher power or whether it's just a very powerful demonic spirit. |
1016 | * NightmareFace: When possessing Daniel... and Brunhild. |
1017 | %%Zero-Context Example * SlasherSmile |
1018 | * StealthPun: During the final battle, the Hand of Fate is accompanied by five elemental monsters called "Fingers". *[[LamePunReaction Groan]]*. |
1019 | * SplitPersonality: Manifests as this in Daniel. |
1020 | * TakeOverTheWorld: The Hand's goal is to bring the world under a single, united order... specifically, its own. However, since this was originally Siegfried's plan, it isn't clear whether the Hand is just fulfilling the terms of their contract or whether it's pursuing its own agenda. |
1021 | * UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: It answered Siegfried's call to create a world without war by possessing Daniel and leading him to subtly take over Kirgard, Zelmony and finally Almega. Once Daniel casts him out, it possesses Brunhild in order to do the exact same thing on a global scale. |
