1	----
2	!!Lance Galahad
3	[[quoteright:286:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/BD136_8331.PNG]]
4	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RiccardoDurante
5	-> The computer fixit who was tricked by Dr. Neurosis into fixing the computer. All doesn't go well when Lance calls the MadScientist "average", and now he's on the run from the BigBad's minion Fritz as he finds a way to the doc himself. Lance is an avid video game junkie, and a bit of a smart mouth.
6	----
7	* AirGuitar: [[spoiler:Lance plays some air guitar in a victory pose after defeating Dr. Neurosis and watching his lair explode.]]
8	* BadassArmFold: Lance makes a pose like this in resurrection scenes [[spoiler:and in the final confrontation, showing that he is brave in the face of certain death]].
9	* BadassNormal: He's an ordinary human being fighting against a bunch of monsters, witches, vampires, and even against a giant statue! Badass Normal indeed!
10	* BlowingARaspberry: While taunting Moose from the top of the basketball net:
11	-->'''Lance:''' ''[shouts]'' Hey, looking for me, stitch-lips? ''[blows a raspberry with his tongue]''
12	** This also occurs in one death scene in the acid fountain when he dodges the spray of acid and acts all "Missed me!" as he blows a raspberry... before another spray of acid hits his face.
13	* BoundAndGagged: Actually, more "gagged" than "bound", at Vivi's salon. And he will remain that way until you choose the facial.
14	* DeadlyDodging: [[spoiler:He manages to defeat both the twin witches ''and'' Neurosis and Fritz by tricking them into hitting something they shouldn't.]]
15	* DiesWideOpen: In some of the death scenes, he gets killed with his eyes open.
16	* DistractedByTheSexy: Lance falls victim to this... but only for a short while, as Vivi stuffs his mouth with his baseball cap right after seducing him.
17	* DistressedDude: When he is captured by Vivi for use in a painful "makeover".
18	* FourFingeredHands: Lance has four fingers on each hand, along with other characters.
19	* GuileHero: He's smarter than pretty much everyone in the castle. Most of the boss fights involve Lance running away while outwitting his enemies with quick thinking.
20	* KidHero: Lance can be this, since it is implied that he is in his teens, around 16 or 17 years old at the most.
21	* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Is rather handsome, and his long, messy mop almost reaches his waist.
22	* LoudGulp: When Lance is fighting the ghosts.
23	* MeaningfulName: Lance's last name, Galahad, has an English origin that means "pure, noble and selfless", and named after one of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table.
24	* {{Mooning}}: [[spoiler:One of Lance's cool dance moves in the final confrontation has him baring his behind. Except that his hairy butt is just... squicky.]]
25	* MrFixit: In the intro, he's hired to fix Neurosis' computer. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Unfortunately, this may not end well...]]
26	* NeverBareheaded: Averted in Vivi's Salon, when Vivi grabs Lance's baseball cap and uses it as a [[BoundAndGagged gag]] to ensure that he can't scream during the painful "makeover".
27	** Also averted in some death scenes.
28	** MadeOfIndestructium: His baseball cap can withstand ANYTHING in death scenes ([[HatDamage except in cases of fire or electric shock]]). And it must have been made out of a very special fabric that can withstand acid and sharp objects.
29	* OhCrap: Lance looks shocked at his inevitable doom in the intro when he discovers that he has put Neurosis' "rage" in our hero's "average" and that Fritz is ordered to [[DisproportionateRetribution kill him for calling the mad scientist "average"]].
30	* OneHitPointWonder: When it comes to {{Family Unfriendly Death}}s, Lance fits this trope down to a T. Pretty much every hazard kills him instantly.
31	* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: He has red hair, green eyes, and is the main character.
32	* TakeThatKiss: [[spoiler:Lance makes one, coupled with a BadassArmFold, to show Fritz that he is not afraid and to dare him to give it all he's got, though our hero is still brave in the face of certain death.]]
33	* TiredOfRunning: [[spoiler:In the final confrontation with Dr. Neurosis, Lance is faced by Fritz, who wants to unleash TriggerHappy terror upon him by unloading every weapon he's got. Of course, Lance can have a choice of running away again by pressing right first or by pressing left twice, but that would only waste more time in endless chasing. The solution? Lance has to move left once, and then right, in order to show Fritz and Neurosis that our hero is tired of running away, then makes a BadassArmFold and a TakeThatKiss to show that he is not afraid and is ready for one more challenge that awaits him.]]
34	* TotallyRadical: He uses hip-sounding slang.
35	* TraumaticHaircut[=/=]DangerouslyCloseShave: In one death scene, Vivi gives him one of the "OffWithHisHead" variety, when she uses the SinisterScythe to chop off his long red hair and also his head.
36	* TheTrickster: He enjoys messing with Fritz.
37	* AWinnerIsYou: [[spoiler:After watching the explosion in Dr. Neurosis' castle, Lance says, "Cool! Back to work!" then makes an AirGuitar of victory and drives away in his truck.]]
38	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Half the reason why Neurosis wants Lance dead. The other half being that Lance called Neurosis an "average mad scientist".
39
40	!!Dr. Nero Neurosis
41	[[quoteright:304:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/BD135_3533.PNG]]
42	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaveQuesnelle
43	-> A gigantic brain who was planning on taking over the world. However, during the beginning of the game, the computer breaks down, so he 'hires' Lance to fix it. When he is to get rid of Lance, he calls the MadScientist "[[BerserkButton average]]", prompting him to command Fritz to finish him off. When Lance escapes, he awaits as Lance confronts him. [[spoiler: As soon as he does, he tricks Fritz into firing him, then causes Fritz to fall into Neurosis' tank, and Lance "flushes" the two from one of the controls.]]
44	----
45	* BerserkButton: He gets really infuriated when Lance calls him "average".
46	* BigBad: He's the main villain of the game.
47	* BigNo: [[spoiler:On noticing that Fritz has been tricked into completely damaging his computer and machinery after Lance defeats him; this is followed by the BigBad's shout of "Fritz, you imbecile!"]]
48	* BrainInAJar: He's a disembodied brain in a jar.
49	* DrBrainpart: He is technically named after neurons (nerve cells), even if indirectly (neurosis is a type of mental disorder).
50	* EvilIsHammy: Whenever he gets irritated or scared, he really chews the scenery.
51	* EvilIsNotWellLit: [[spoiler:In the final confrontation, he fights Lance in the dark with very little lighting.]]
52	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:He gets defeated by his own plans to kill Lance thanks to our hero's trickery on Fritz.]]
53	* LoadBearingBoss: [[spoiler:His castle crumbles to ruins after he's defeated.]]
54	* MadScientist: He's clearly a scientist who does experiments and isn't right in the head. Lampshaded by Lance.
55	-->'''Lance''': You're not one of those mad disembodied scientist guys trying to take over the world, are ya?
56	* MeaningfulName: The first name of Dr. Nero Neurosis has a Latin origin that means "powerful", named after the Roman Emperor Nero; and his last name is derived from a mental disorder, less severe than psychosis, marked by anxiety or fear. No wonder this mad scientist wants to rule the world with an iron fist.
57	* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He's a villain with the title Dr.
58	* TheNameIsBondJamesBond: He introduces himself to Lance in this manner after getting his computer fixed in the intro.
59	-->'''Neurosis''': Dr. Neurosis. Dr. Nero Neurosis.
60	* NonActionBigBad: He relies on his henchman, Fritz, to do all the grunt work for him. Justified because he's a BrainInAJar. This comes back to bite him [[spoiler:when he has to rely on him in the final battle and Fritz accidentally destroys his jar.]]
61	* SayMyName: Dr. Neurosis tends to shout out Fritz's name, [[spoiler:especially in the final confrontation]].
62	* TakeOverTheWorld: Dr. Neurosis' overall plan is world domination. This is [[LampshadeHanging one of the things mocked by Lance]].
63	* YouKnowWhatToDo: Spoken to Fritz in the intro when describing his plan to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness kill Lance after fixing his computer]].
64
65	!!Fritz
66	[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/BD132_6687.PNG]]
67	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JoeJoeGiampapa (though Fritz doesn't speak in any languages at all, but only in grunts and gibberish.)
68	->Fritz is a hunchbacked little imp with hooks for hands, who carries an array of deadly gadgets that he uses to kill Lance. His apparent lack of brains doesn't prevent him from being a lethal adversary. Lance is pursued by him throughout the game. He is Dr. Neurosis' "pet" and diligently follows all orders given to him.
69	----
70	* ButtMonkey: He suffers through a lot of slapstick thanks to Lance, and this doesn't improve his demeanor at all.
71	* CumbersomeClaws: Fritz, who has two hooks for hands, is shown damaging Dr. Neurosis' plans as he goes over them.
72	* DeathFromAbove: How Fritz launches an attack on Lance from the top of the main entryway.
73	* {{Determinator}}: Insanely so. Fritz will chase Lance for the entire adventure, and he is always five seconds behind.
74	* TheDragon: Throughout the game, Lance has to avoid Fritz's efforts in killing him on Neurosis' orders, so Fritz qualifies as the villainous second-in-command.
75	* EyeScream: At the beginning of the game, Lance pokes Fritz's eyes, prompting him to cover them... too bad that he has {{Hook Hand}}s.
76	* FireBreathingWeapon[=/=]KillItWithFire: Fritz uses the flamethrower to charbroil Lance's head in one death scene. And as if that wasn't enough, the imp reappears to blow on the charbroiled skull, rendering it like dust in the wind.
77	* HardHead: [[spoiler:During the confrontation on the [[ItsAllUpstairsFromHere stairs]], Lance uses [[CarryABigStick a big, strong iron hammer]] to whack Fritz on the head, which only makes him suffer a minor concussion until he gets up and chases him again.]]
78	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:During the stairs sequence, after Fritz gets hit by a SuperRugPull and loses his weapons, Lance can steal his weapons to use against him, including at least two hammers.]]
79	* HookHand: He has hooks in place of hands, which he can replace with several different weapons.
80	* HyperspaceArsenal: Fritz carries a wide variety of weapons under his coat.
81	* TheIgor: He's your standard issue hideous hunchback assistant.
82	* ImAHumanitarian: Several of the deaths involve Fritz eating Lance somehow.
83	* ImprobableHairstyle: In this case, short hair with a short pigtail standing up.
84	* {{Leitmotif}}: While it sees use once or twice elsewhere, the first five notes of "Fritz Sword Fight" primarily accompany him throughout the game - in particular, playing in most of the fail animations that feature him and in the resurrection animations of his areas. You ''will'' end up familiar with the theme long before hearing it in full in the final battle.
85	* OhCrap: [[spoiler:Fritz realizes to his terror that he's in trouble when he realizes what Lance was doing with the carpet...]]
86	* PsychoForHire: Neurosis orders him to kill Lance, and he's all too eager to do so.
87	* SolidGoldPoop: Lance asks Fritz for bubble gum to fix Neurosis' computer. He instead takes a chunk of snot Fritz was going to eat after picking his nose and it works just fine.
88	* SpotlightStealingSquad: Definitely gets more attention than Lance. He even has a spot in the above box art which says "[[AndStarring Starring Fritz]]". Not bad for a {{determinator}} maniac who is so hell-bent on using so many ways to kill Lance.
89	* ThreateningShark: In this case, Fritz, disguised as a shark, in one of Lance's death scenes.
90	* TrenchcoatWarfare: Though not an actual trenchcoat, Fritz invokes this with his vest at several points, including the cover.
91	* TriggerHappy: [[spoiler:When he goes all-out on Lance in a blaze of glory during the final confrontation with Dr. Neurosis, he just starts shooting at Lance like a madman. Results in HeroTrackingFailure if Lance plays the cards right.]]
92	* TooDumbToLive: Lance tricks him into making him look in his own cannon hand during the beginning of the game by yelling [[UnsoundEffect "Boom!"]] before the fuse goes out.
93	* TheUnintelligible: He doesn't say any actual words and only grunts incoherently.
94	* VillainousBreakdown: Fritz's patience begins to visibly wear thin as you progress through timing events where he's the danger. [[spoiler:He finally snaps at the end, unloading upon Lance with every ranged weapon he has while blindly charging at our hero. This tunes out Neurosis' demands and pleas for him to stop since he's slowly destroying the doctor's jar in the process.]]
95	* WheresTheKaboom: How Fritz gets tricked [[TooDumbToLive into looking in the cannon]].
96	* WingdingEyes: [[spoiler:Fritz gets so angry that, in the final confrontation, he uses these eyes as a slot machine, thinking up many methods of killing Lance. [[CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon One of these methods includes a high-heeled shoe.]]]]
97
98	!!Vivi
99	[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/BD133_4070.PNG]]
100	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JuneBrown
101	->Vivi is a curvaceous, vampiric vixen with a Southern belle accent who runs a "funeral salon". It is generally an excuse for her to dismember or suck the blood of unwary or unwilling patrons like Lance.
102	----
103	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: She's a vampire with purplish skin.
104	* BeautyToBeast: In the end, Lance makes her fall into her own Beautifier, which overloads and explodes and reduces her to an ugly old hag.
105	* BigEater: In the most basic death scene she can inflict, if Lance waits too long to choose a service, she can't resist drinking his blood, completely exsanguinating him in the span of about 1 to 2 seconds by [[VampiricDraining sucking his blood]].
106	* BondOneLiner: After cutting off [[OffWithHisHead Lance's head]] or [[AnArmAndALeg his hand]], she delivers this one to him that would make [[Series/FamilyMatters Steve Urkel]] jealous:
107	-->'''Vivi:''' ''[innocently]'' Awww, did I do that?
108	* BuxomBeautyStandard: She has a well-endowed chest that both Lance and Fritz can't help but stare at.
109	* EarlyBirdCameo: At the beginning of the game, there's a portrait of her in one of the rooms before meeting her.
110	* EffortlessAmazonianLift: She picks up Lance [[SuperStrength with one finger]] by the back of his shirt, before tossing him across the room and into a chair. Then she does the same thing to Fritz, but throws him into an [[ColdBloodedTorture iron maiden!]]
111	* {{Expy}}: She looks more like a double expy cross between the Film/BrideOfFrankenstein and Creator/ElviraMistressOfTheDark.
112	* FauxAffablyEvil: She acts very polite and affectionate to both Lance, who she tries to chop to pieces or drain to the husk, and Fritz, who she throws into a spiked coffin. However, if the sadistic smirk she makes after killing Lance is any indication, her friendly behavior is just a facade she puts on to catch her victims off-guard to kill them easier.
113	* FeetFirstIntroduction: We first see her feet before the scene pans up to show the rest of her.
114	* {{Gasshole}}: Let's out a loud belch after draining Lance of blood in one of the death scenes.
115	%%* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
116	* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: Just when you think she can do a manicure as in "treatment for fingernails", she uses the word "manicure" as in "[[AnArmAndALeg cutting off people's hands]] with a butcher knife", which she has! Yikes!
117	* HoistByHerOwnPetard: Lance defeats her by making her fall into her own Beautifier. Though not dead, she is reduced to an ugly old hag.
118	* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: She has large breasts and hips with a narrow waist.
119	* MaleGaze: Vivi says she's a little bit "behind". When she says this, we see a close-up of her rear.
120	* MissingReflection: Vivi has no reflection when she looks at her facial mirror (save for her lipstick), revealing that she is a vampire. Not like this wasn't obvious before.
121	* MsFanservice: Being a curvaceous vampire, she's clearly the game's main source of fanservice.
122	* ObfuscatingStupidity: She treats Lance as if he were valued customer and [[ObliviouslyEvil seems totally unaware that her attempts at "styling" are fatal to him]]... but that sadistic smirk on her face whenever she "accidentally" kills him says it all.
123	* PointyEars: Vivi is a vampire with pointed ears.
124	* RedEyesTakeWarning: When she is prepared for a VampiricDraining of Lance in one death scene, her eyes become red.
125	* SinisterScythe: She uses a miniature scythe to try [[DangerouslyCloseShave chopping Lance's head off]].
126	* SouthernBelle: She's a beautiful woman with a Southern accent.
127	* StatuesqueStunner: When she lifts Lance up, you can notice she's ''much'' taller than him.
128	* UndeathlyPallor: Her sky blue skin is the more obvious sight that she's an undead vampire.
129	* VampiresAreSexGods: She's a vampire with an ImpossibleHourglassFigure, a SouthernBelle accent and her dialogue is peppered with innuendo.
130	* VampiricDraining: Vivi will do this to Lance if he doesn't make a choice of either a shave, manicure, or facial quick enough. And the result is downright unpleasant: though over in a split-second, we see Lance visibly shriveled into a mummy-like state as a result of her appetite.
131	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: She demonstrates the ability to shapeshift into a bat.
132
133	!!Moose
134	[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/BD134_6893.PNG]]
135	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BlayneBurnside
136	->A big, dumb, Frankenstein's Monster-like giant, who spouts various sports phrases and wields a baseball bat and a football.
137
138	* BatterUp: In one part of the scene, Moose wields one giant baseball bat, intending to bash Lance's brains out if you're not quick or careful.
139	* TheBrute: He's a muscular monster who relies on his strength to get the job done.
140	* DelinquentHair: He sports a mean purple mullet.
141	* DumbMuscle: Doesn't seem to show much in the ways of intellect.
142	* FrankensteinsMonster: He's green and he seems to be held together with stitches.
143	* GretzkyHasTheBall: Most of Moose's dialogue.
144	-->'''Moose''': "Alright, squirt! Third down, bases are loaded, and we're pullin' the goalie!"
145	* JerkJock: He's into ''all kinds'' of sports and a violent brute.
146	* PsychopathicManchild: Comes off as an immature bully.
147	* XRaySparks: He meets his end by electrocution, during which is skeleton is visible.
