| 24 | [[folder:Haken Browning]] |
| 25 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hakenbrowning.png]] |
| 26 | -> '''Voiced by''': Creator/NobuyukiHiyama |
| 27 | |
| 28 | The protagonist of ''Endless Frontier'', 23-year old Haken Browning is captain of the dimension-traveling vehicle ''Zeit Krokodil'' (German for "Time Crocodile") and a BountyHunter throughout the "Endless Frontier", a set of small, multiple worlds inter-dimensionally connected via "Cross Gates". He is faithfully followed by his {{Sidekick}} Aschen Brodel. Haken fancies himself as a ladies' man, complimenting everyone of the fairer sex, with a very easy-going personality. Despite having a color scheme akin to [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlphaGaiden Sanger Zonvolt]] and the surname to [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Excellen Browning]], Haken is an {{Expy}} of [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Kyosuke Nanbu]], taking on the role of the calm, cool leader with a [[TheGambler gambling habit]], even [[ThemeNaming naming most of his attacks after gambling stints]] ("Texas Hold'em", "High Low Draw", etc.). |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Following the events of ''Endless Frontier EXCEED'', Haken has a run-in with Sanger, who winds up in the Endless Frontier from the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration'' universe during the events of ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone''. Along with Kaguya Nanbu, they reunite with their old allies Reiji Arisu and Xiaomu since their adventures in the Endless Frontier, resolving to help the latter and their crisis. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | Sometime after ''Project X Zone'', Haken and Aschen show Sanger the way home, using the same transporter he appeared from in the Endless Frontier, but a malfunction accidentally send him and Aschen into the Original Generation universe with Sanger, just as the world of the New A.D. finds itself in conflict with the [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsJudgment Fury]], [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsGC Gadisword]], and the remnants forces of [[Characters/CompatiHeroSeries Dark Brain]]. Without a functional Cross Gate around to return to the Endless Frontier, Haken relegates staying with the "[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationSteelDragonBattleGroup Steel Dragon Battle Group]]" temporarily. Fortunately, he is put to good use as [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationOthersAndWalkingSpoilers Doctor Marion Radom]] [[ContrivedCoincidence by chance]] had already completed a custom Gespenst using salvaged blueprints from the "[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Shadow-Mirror]]", giving it to Haken for use. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | In his ''Endless Frontier'' and ''Project X Zone'' appearances, [[GunsAkimbo Haken carries two weapons with him at all times]]: the "Night Fowl" assault rifle and the "[[HandCannon Longtomb Special]]" revolver. In ''The Moon Dwellers'', he becomes the primary pilot of the "[[AceCustom Gespenst Haken]]", complete with weapons similar to the Night Fowl. |
| 35 | ---- |
| 36 | [[hardline]] |
| 37 | * TheAtoner: Played with - while he doesn't act like the usual example, it's made clear Haken's primary motivation in ''Endless Frontier EXCEED'' is to find his lost friends and help avert the current attempt at world destruction, both of which he's indirectly responsible for. |
| 38 | * AscendedFanboy: Vice Chief Lee Ly of the ''Zeit Krokodil'' often mocks his [[BadassLongcoat cowboy]] [[TooManyBelts costume]]. |
| 39 | * BayonetYa: The Night Fowl has a switchblade bayonet [[UnusualWeaponMounting in the stock.]] Where a regular bayonet should be, he has a PileBunker. |
| 40 | * {{BFG}}: The Longtomb Special can disassemble itself into this; in ''EXCEED'', it doubles as a portable WaveMotionGun. |
| 41 | * BerserkButton: Messing with his friends and his [[spoiler:W-Numbers family]]; {{Irony}} ensues when the people who've really pushed the button are [[spoiler:Pete Pain and Gagun Laos, who are also W-Numbers]]. |
| 42 | -->'''Haken''': "[[spoiler:W03, Pete Pain]]...The price for messing with my family is very high. I'll make sure you pay until the last dime." |
| 43 | * BodyguardCrush: For Kaguya Nanbu; [[spoiler:it takes the end of ''Endless Frontier'' to make it {{official|Couple}} between them]]. |
| 44 | * CallBack: The choreography for the Gespenst Haken's Night Fowl attack animation in ''The Moon Dwellers'' is the same as Haken's Texas Hold'em attack in the ''Endless Frontier'' games. |
| 45 | * CasanovaWannabe: {{Subverted}} at first, as he flirts with every girl and gets turned down, [[spoiler:but eventually wins Kaguya's heart]]. |
| 46 | * ChivalrousPervert: It's hard to blame him considering how ''ridiculous'' the boobage in the games are. In ''The Moon Dwellers'', Haken points out that [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsMX Aqua Centrum]] wouldn't be out of place in the Endless Frontier upon [[{{Stripperific}} seeing what she wears]] when piloting, even nicknaming her "[[LegFocus High Leg Celeb]]". |
| 47 | * CombinationAttack: "Phantom Hold 'Em" with the Gespenst Phantom and "Rampage Specter", although the latter plays with this since it's simply Haken summoning the Alt Eisen Nacht and Weiss Ritter Abend to do it. |
| 48 | * CriticalHit: His character specialty - Haken carries a "Spirit Command" that increases critical hit rate for the whole team and his personal weapon increases his critical hit chance, while in ''EXCEED'', pairing him with the Gespenst Phantom increases critical hit rate. In the first game, it's possible for Haken to achieve a 100% critical hit rate set up. |
| 49 | * DeathDealer: Uses explosive cards in some of his attacks in ''Endless Frontier'' and ''Project X Zone''. |
| 50 | * DiscOneNuke: In ''EXCEED'', Haken acquires the Gespenst Phantom at the end of his introductory chapter, learns the "Co-Op" [[note]]Personal support can be activated twice and "Support Attack "is granted an additional use[[/note]] and "Morale" [[note]]Gain an additional 15% chance of achieving critical hits for the party[[/note]] Spirit Commands early and learns the attack "Seven Stud", an S+ ranked attack at a point in the game where an A+ ranked attack is still rare. Unlike most instances of this trope, Haken averts it by being much better statistically later in the game thanks to new attack "Quad Solitaire". |
| 51 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: Despite not being the protagonist of ''EXCEED'', much of the plot still revolves around Haken's atonement [[spoiler:and the W-Numbers]], thereby making this an (un)intended case of SpotlightStealingSquad. |
| 52 | * EyeObscuringHat: Oddly enough, this is how his hat is when his character portrait displays him as melancholic and sad. Notably, his hat has a notch cut out that, as shown in his SuperMovePortraitAttack, allow him to do this and still aim. |
| 53 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Haken's ChivalrousPervert trait turns into a game-play mechanic in ''The Moon Dwellers'' - acquiring his "Ace Bonus" and he deals 5% more damage per female member paired in a "Twin Unit" with him. |
| 54 | * GenerationXerox: Played with - [[spoiler:although Haken isn't John Moses's biological son, John mistakes Kaguya for a call-in escort the first time they meet]]. No wonder Haken's such a LovableSexManiac; a less notable one involves his nicknaming habit being derived from Aschen, who is his ParentalSubstitute. |
| 55 | * GratuitousEnglish: A lot, such as "OK!", "Jackpot!", "Bingo!" and "Last showdown!". As of ''The Moon Dwellers'', he could give [[VideoGame/FatalFury Terry Bogard]] a run for his money. |
| 56 | * GratuitousSpanish: Played with - he does say "Adios!" often in his attacks. |
| 57 | * TheGunslinger: Haken combines being "[[ImprobableAimingSkills The Trick Shot]]" and "[[GunFu The Woo]]" with GunsAkimbo, with bits of "[[MoreDakka The Vaporizer]]"; due to the configuration of his SwissArmyGun, GunKata is also occasionally used in some attacks. |
| 58 | * HappilyAdopted: He's well-aware that he's not John Moses's biological son. Even when he finds out he's a [[spoiler: TestTubeBaby]] is doesn't matter. John Moses is his ''dad''. |
| 59 | * HeroicBSOD: {{Averted}}; Haken's upset when he learns he's [[spoiler:W-00]], but he knows screaming about it won't help. |
| 60 | * ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: {{Lampshaded}} |
| 61 | -->'''Henne Valkyria''': "Looks like her report was right on. 'Dumbass poser wearing a black trenchcoat, black hat, red bandana, and fingerless gloves'."\ |
| 62 | '''Haken''': "What...!? What's wrong with my gloves!?" |
| 63 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: The fact he is [[spoiler:W-00]] is surprising for newcomers in ''EXCEED'', to which it's revealed extremely late in the {{Sequel}}; the same can't be said for players who have gone through the first game. In ''The Moon Dwellers'', Haken's true identity is never revealed, yet a few characters instantly connect the dots and determine his origins are linked to [[spoiler:the Shadow-Mirror]]. Those who have never played ''Endless Frontier'' are unlikely to catch the reference. |
| 64 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Haken's second introduction in ''EXCEED''. |
| 65 | --> "My name's Haken Browning. They call me..." |
| 66 | --> '''CHAPTER 2: THE WANDERING BOUNTY HUNTER''' |
| 67 | --> "[[LeaningOnTheFourthWall ...just like that]]." |
| 68 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "All Right!" |
| 69 | * LikeBrotherAndSister: Him and Aschen, which is funny considering the latter is practically a mother to him. [[spoiler:At one point, he calls her "Sister 07" after he finds out he's W-00. Similarly, when he meets [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Lamia Loveless]] in ''The Moon Dwellers'', he address her as "Sister 17"]]. |
| 70 | * NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: Shares the surname of John Moses Browning, a certain Mormon gunsmith... |
| 71 | * {{Nerf}}: Of the returning cast in ''EXCEED'', Haken gets hit the most by lowering the effectiveness of the 100% critical setup and the attack "Jackpot". He also loses having the highest support count from the first game, his "Canfield" Special Skill [[note]]Gain the effects of "Alert" (all enemy attacks will miss for one turn) for the whole party[[/note]] uses up the "Frontier Gauge" instead of Spirit Points and Rampage Specter is decreased in power. Averted as a whole, considering his DiscOneNuke status, since he averts ''that'', too. |
| 72 | * TheNicknamer: ''Every'' single person he meets; he even nicknames plenty of the Vysaga's Japanese-named attacks into English for ''The Moon Dwellers'' (e.g: ''Fuujinsen'' -> "Wind Blade Slash"; ''Koujinsen'' -> "Light Blade Slash"). |
| 73 | * PileBunker: Mounted on the Night Fowl as a bayonet, which he uses to launch enemies into the far wall in battle. On the field, it can be used to jackhammer boulders and crystal formations. |
| 74 | * PreAssKickingOneLiner: Haken lives for these. |
| 75 | --> "Welcome to 'Lost Herencia'. Let me run the welcome wagon right over your ugly ass!" |
| 76 | * RedBaron: Inherited John's "Wandering Bounty Hunter" title. This become a small PlotPoint in ''EXCEED'' when Neige Hausen suspects him to be a fake. |
| 77 | * ThemeNaming: "Haken" is German for "Hook." His ship, Zeit Krokodil, is German for "Time Crocodile". He's [[Literature/PeterPan Captain Hook]]. Appropriately one of his enemies is based on Peter Pan. |
| 78 | * TheReveal: [[spoiler:Haken is "[[MyHeroZero W-00]]", the SuperPrototype of the ArtificialHuman "W-Numbers" created by [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Lemon Browning]]. The majority of the W-Numbers are {{Android}}s and mostly-machine {{Cyborg}}s rather than the [[SuperSoldier extremely enhanced human]] like Haken is because the Shadow-Mirror decided it took too long to wait for him to grow up. Furthermore, it's implied because Lemon used her blood to create Haken, he's her OppositeSexClone (though Haken implies that [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Axel Almer]] is his birth father)]]. |
| 79 | * SwissArmyGun: The Night Fowl's a custom assault rifle that fires normal, solid rounds with an underslung PileBunker below the rifle's barrel and [[BayonetYa a fold-out bayonet in the stock]]. |
| 80 | * ThemeNaming: All of his attacks in ''Endless Frontier'' are related in some way to TabletopGame/{{Poker}} - Texas Hold 'Em, High Low Draw, "Best Flush", "Five Card Stud", Jackpot, "Last Showdown" |
| 81 | * TrappedInAnotherWorld: [[spoiler:Due to the climax of ''The Moon Dwellers'' regarding the destruction of the only Cross Gate available, Haken is effectively stranded in the Original Generation universe]]. |
| 82 | * WaveMotionGun |
| 83 | ** His Longtomb Special's most powerful mode is this, seen during Phantom Hold'em, Last Showdown and Quad Solitaire. Played straight in ''EXCEED'' when Haken can use it to hit multiple enemies as part of the "Phantom Hold'em Frontier MAX". |
| 84 | ** In ''The Moon Dwellers'' the Gespenst Haken with its "[[ChestBlaster Neutron Cannon]]" functions as this. |

| 88 | [[folder:Kaguya Nanbu]] |
| 89 | [[quoteright:262:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kaguyananbu_0.png]] |
| 90 | -> '''Voiced by''': Creator/{{Yukana}} |
| 91 | |
| 92 | The young princess of the Nanbu Clan in the world of Kagura Amahara, Kaguya's the {{heir|ToTheDojo}}ess of the sword-fighting style ''Jinraku Tengen''. In her first meeting with Haken, she unknowingly hires him and Aschen to escort her on her pilgrimage. Throughout her travels in the Endless Frontier, her relationship with Haken grows more forward. Although she carries Kyosuke's surname, Kaguya is more of a loose {{Expy}} of Excellen, since her personality is similar to her: [[TheDitz innocent]], [[TheTease playful]] and the one to provide the most {{Fanservice}} ([[InnocentFanserviceGirl not that she tries to invoke it]], unlike Excellen). She also has more Sanger references than Haken, starting from her sword ''[[{{BFS}} Goushiki Zankantou]]'' ("Type-5 Colossal Blade") to her styling herself as "[[RedBaron The Sword That Cleaves Evil]]", including Sanger's trademark '''[[{{Kiai}} CHEESTOOOOOO!!!]]'''. |
| 93 | |
| 94 | Kaguya reappears in ''Project X Zone'' as Haken's partner for the game. |
| 95 | ---- |
| 96 | [[hardline]] |
| 97 | * BuxomBeautyStandard: She has an ample bust and the cleavage of her outfit puts a lot of emphasis on them, and other characters like Aschen and Suzuka take notice of her size. Her breasts have garnered her so much attention that they actually become the subject of many of the game's sexual innuendos and have earned her nicknames such as "Dairy Princess" and "Princess Bounciful". |
| 98 | * CombatMedic: In the first game, Kaguya's attack stat is the lowest in the party and her attacks are weak, in general, but she carries the Special Skill ''Nanbu Reijutsu Tukimi Zake'', a party-wide heal, and she has the "Love" Spirit Command[[note]]Restore the party's HP to full[[/note]]. However, another Special Skill ''Nanbu Ittoryuu Teppou'' hits all enemies and with the right equipment, can shred them to pieces. Of note is her "Miracle" Spirit Command [[note]]Gain the effects of "Accelerate" (increase speed stat by 15% for 3 turns), "Strike" (for one turn, all attacks will hit without triggering guard or miss), "Alert" (all enemy attacks will miss for one turn), "Soul" (deal twice the amount of damage for one turn; critical hits do not activate) and "Luck" (earn 50% more credits after battle)[[/note]] grants her nearly every StatusBuff in the game. |
| 99 | * DanceBattler: Her attacks look like a dance and it resembles Princess Suzuka's movements, which make sense since Suzuka is teaching her how to dance. In ''Project X Zone,'' she even uses some of Suzuka's fan-dance moves. |
| 100 | * DiscOneNuke: In ''EXCEED'', Kaguya's the strongest character in the early parts of the game thanks to her attack ''Hinezumi no Koromo''. By late-game, her damage output tapers off, unless players use her "Miracle" Spirit Command[[note]]In ''EXCEED'', casting "Miracle" grants "Abandon" (gain the effects of "Strike" and "Alert"), "Soul", "Luck", "Effort" (earn 20% more experience after battle), "Accelerate", "Drive" (recover 50% of COM) and "Guts" (recover HP to full)[[/note]]. |
| 101 | * InSeriesNickname: A boatload of them; take "Dairy Cow Princess", for example - dresses in black and white, has large "milk-producing" body parts. |
| 102 | * FuumaShuriken: The "Moon cutters" her sword launches are head-sized blades shaped like a crescent moon. They're very much like huge batarangs. |
| 103 | * GenkiGirl: Her signature smiling pose makes it obvious. |
| 104 | * GratuitousJapanese: Creator/{{Atlus}} decided to keep her entire movelist in Japanese for the localization. |
| 105 | * ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: A {{BFS}} that doubles as a WhipSword with [[RingsOfDeath detachable chakram rings on the back of the blade she can fling around]] like {{Precision Guided Boomerang}}s. |
| 106 | * InnocentInnuendo: From the first game after hiring Haken. |
| 107 | --> '''Kaguya''': Yeah, take me now! |
| 108 | --> '''Haken''': Err...I'll ''escort'' you. |
| 109 | * ImpossibleHourglassFigure: 100cm bustline and wide hips. |
| 110 | * ImpossiblyLowNeckline: That dress of hers ''somehow'' doesn't cause her to have a WardrobeMalfunction every few seconds, especially when she's fighting. |
| 111 | * InnocentFanserviceGirl: That skimpy, tight, semi-transparent mini-dress with a ZettaiRyouiki to boot? It's ''formal wear''; to Kaguya, it's no more than wearing her Sunday best. Every so often she has a fit of modesty and turns away from the screen to cover her bosom with her arms, all while screeching in an outraged manner and glaring at the player over her shoulder. However, this gives players [[SexyBacklessOutfit a great view of her very well-drawn backside]]. |
| 112 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "Flawless Full Moon" |
| 113 | * MagiTek: Her sword can launch a storm of {{Precision Guided Boomerang}}s, making it act as a sort of ersatz machine gun. |
| 114 | * MsFanservice |
| 115 | ** Ooh, boy: not only is her outfit ''too'' revealing, but her cleavage is definitely bigger than Aschen's, who is the Lamia {{Expy}}, to which the latter has the largest ones in the main installments. It's implied Kaguya beats Lamia in that department, too. |
| 116 | ** {{Lampshaded}} in ''Project X Zone'': when [[VideoGame/DeadRising Frank West]] snaps a photograph of her, the resulting score is a "Perfect: Erotica". For emphasis, any time Frank meets a {{Fanservice}}-inducing character, he takes a photo of them; when Kaguya appears? He takes ''multiple shots of her in various gravure-like poses''. |
| 117 | * NiceGirl: One of the friendliest characters of the cast, who's also the easiest to forgive enemies-turned-allies. |
| 118 | * RunningGag: Almost every character, even villains, after their introduction mistake her as a "cow" or "werecow". Judging by [[{{Stripperiffic}} how she dresses up]] and her huge "[[{{Pun}} tracts of land]]", this is {{Justified|Trope}}. There's also the incident where Saya's bull henchman [[Characters/NamcoXCapcom Dokugozu]] proposes marriage to her everytime they meet, ''even in the middle of being {{Brainwashed}}''. The kicker? Kaguya's ''flattered'' by the proposal. |
| 119 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: Her clothes are simply too tight and it reveals her ample bosom and shoulders. |
| 120 | * ThemeNaming: After Princess Kaguya of the ''Tale of the Bamboo Cutter'', her skills are all named after the Impossible Tasks. |
| 121 | * WhipSword: ''Goushiki Zankantou'' can extend like one. |
| 122 | |

| 125 | [[folder:Aschen Brodel]] |
| 126 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aschenbrodel.png]] |
| 127 | [[quoteright:350:"I will write something insulting on that billboard you call a chest."]] |
| 128 | -> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaoriShimizu |
| 129 | |
| 130 | Haken's loyal and devoted RobotGirl {{Sidekick}}, Aschen Brodel's a green-haired combat {{Cyborg}} capable of emitting human-like emotions. At first, one would think she's a blatant {{Expy}} of Lamia Loveless, but it's {{justified|Trope}}: Aschen's, in fact, her predecessor (to a lesser extent, "older sister") codenamed "W-07". She and Lemon's other W-Numbers 01 through 10 were the first to be sent to the Original Generation universe during an attack by [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationAntagonists Beowulf]], but they were put in the first batch of the teleportation device the Shadow-Mirror had built, namely the unstable ones. Aschen stumbled into the Endless Frontier and has been there for the past twenty-three years. |
| 131 | |
| 132 | Unlike Lamia who's mostly TheStoic by default, [[DeadpanSnarker Aschen has a sharp tongue and at times flings insults]], especially regarding Haken's womanizing attitude, and [[TheNicknamer invents other derisive]] {{In Series Nickname}}s like "Dairy Cow Princess" or "Princess Flat" (for Suzuka). Aschen's also installed with "Code: DTD" (Dust-to-Dust), but instead of it being a ChekhovsGun with regards to Lamia, she uses it for full advantage as a SuperMode, but with a side-effect of turning her personality into a GenkiGirl. |
| 133 | |
| 134 | Being a combat {{Cyborg}}, she doesn't need a weapon: she fights with bare hands and feet (although the rest of her body carries an assortment of weapons like disk cutters, missiles and shotguns mounted to her heels). Aschen doesn't appear anywhere else except her home series; however, she and Haken are pulled into Sanger's dimension following a transporter malfunction for ''The Moon Dwellers''. Although she doesn't get her own HumongousMecha like Haken does, Aschen provides combat support as the designated co-pilot of the Gespenst Haken. |
| 135 | ---- |
| 136 | [[hardline]] |
| 137 | * ArmedLegs: Shotgun boots and [[MurderousThighs rocket batteries in her thighs]]. |
| 138 | * [[BashBrothers Bash Sisters]]: {{Invoked}} for ''The Moon Dwellers'' - [[SiblingTeam it's possible to have Lamia as the primary pilot of the Gespenst Haken]]; in fact, doing so and a trophy is unlocked for it. |
| 139 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:In ''EXCEED'' by Pete Pain, then averted thanks to some quick thinking via his recovering memory from [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Axel Almer]]]]. |
| 140 | * BrutalHonesty: By default, Aschen is blunt, sarcastic and will never hesitate saying whatever comes to her mind. |
| 141 | %%* CallingYourAttacks: "[[RocketPunch ASCHEN PUNCH]]!" |
| 142 | * {{Foil}}: To Lamia - Aschen is made for direct melee-combat with an in-your-face, rambunctious style, whereas Lamia is tailored for piloting HumongousMecha through [[LadyOfWar careful calculations and graceful movements who prefers ranged-combat]]. |
| 143 | * TheFourGods: Her moveset incorporates attacks called "Tigress Bite", "Genbu Spike" and "[[MacrossMissileMassacre Dragon Scale]]", while her "[[LimitBreak Overdrive]]" is aptly named "Phantasm Phoenix". |
| 144 | * GratuitousEnglish: Similar to Haken, there's a lot, like "Fire!", "Striking!" and ''"Yes, I do!"'' |
| 145 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "Ash to Ash (ver. EF)" |
| 146 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Aschen is responsible for sending herself and Haken into the Original Generation universe because she entered Code: DTD to kick-start the inter-dimensional transporter to bring Sanger home, overloading it and sending all them into his world. |
| 147 | * TheNicknamer: In ''The Moon Dwellers'', she has a nickname for everyone who pilots the Gespenst Haken - many of them [[BrutalHonesty insulting]], many of them InUniverse {{reference|Overdosed}}s. |
| 148 | * {{Oneesama}}: How Lamia addresses her in ''The Moon Dwellers''. |
| 149 | * ParentalSubstitute: Aschen is the one who acts as the maternal figure to Haken. |
| 150 | * PerpetualFrowner: Her normal appearance; turns into [[GenkiGirl the exact opposite]] via Code: DTD. |
| 151 | * PintsizedPowerhouse: Relatively speaking - in ''The Moon Dwellers'', she'll leap out of the Gespenst Haken during its strongest attack to [[RapidFireFisticuffs beat down]] enemy targets five times her size. {{Justified|Trope}} since she's a {{Cyborg}}. |
| 152 | * RocketPunch: She uses a wired variant for RapidFireFisticuffs in many of her attacks. |
| 153 | * ServileSnarker: Aschen counts towards Haken - it helps she's been with him for the past 23 years; even one of her character portraits in-game has her bowing servilely. |
| 154 | * SplitPersonality: Whenever she activates Code: DTD or if she overheats, switching between DeadpanSnarker and GenkiGirl. |
| 155 | * {{Stripperific}}: Her Overdrive "sheds" the green parts of her body, revealing an ample bosom like Kaguya's and thighs. |
| 156 | * ThemeNaming: Her name "Cinderella" in German. |
| 157 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's the tomboy to Lamia's girly-girl, given Aschen prefers close-combat and, due to Code: DTD, will act foul-mouthed and hyperactive. |
| 158 | * TrappedInAnotherWorld: [[spoiler:Like Haken, at the end of ''The Moon Dwellers'', Aschen is stuck in the Original Generation universe until they can find a way back to the Endless Frontier]]. |
| 159 | * UnknownRival |
| 160 | ** Seems to think of KOS-MOS as her rival, even challenging her to a fight during their first meeting, but KOS-MOS ignores this completely. |
| 161 | ** In ''EXCEED'', during her introduction, Aschen claims to be more beautiful, smarter, and funnier than KOS-MOS. |

| 166 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/princesssuzuka.png]] |
| 167 | -> '''Voiced by''': Creator/MamikoNoto |
| 168 | |
| 169 | A "Shiki-Oni" princess from Kagura Amahara, Princess Suzuka is Kaguya's ChildhoodFriend and is betrothed to another Oni named Shuten, bumping into Haken and his party and joining them in their endeavors throughout the Endless Frontier. Suzuka uses an unusual style of [[DanceBattler dance for combat]] that lets her command a mecha (just about as tall as the other mecha found in the game) called the "Jyaki-GUN-Oh" (Devil Gun King). As far as beauty goes, Haken calls her a "Midriff Beauty", but Aschen dubs her "Princess Flat" (with good reason). |
| 170 | ---- |
| 171 | [[hardline]] |
| 172 | * ACupAngst: {{Subverted}}; while she does get teased by Aschen constantly, Suzuka doesn't seem to mind. The subversion comes when Kaguya (who has a BuxomBeautyStandard figure) reveals she drinks lots of milk, and Suzuka decides to buy some, suggesting she does want larger breasts. |
| 173 | * BetaCouple: [[HugeGuyTinyGirl With Shuten]] in the first game, then joined by Haken/Kaguya in ''EXCEED''. |
| 174 | * BoringButPractical: In the first game, by repeatedly {{Cancel}}ling one of her attacks, players can exchange her turn doing damage for an 80% increase to the Frontier Gauge, which more than makes up for it. By timing it right, it's possible to deal enough damage and charge the gauge to activate Suzuka's Overdrive immediately. |
| 175 | * DeadpanSnarker: More often than not, Suzuka has SnarkToSnarkCombat with Aschen. |
| 176 | * FragileSpeedster: The fastest party member, allowing her to take her turn first, and has a high hit count alongside her attack list being able to fill the Frontier Gauge more easily, yet has the weakest defensive stat of the party. |
| 177 | * GratuitousDiscoSequence: Her Overdrive and Special Skills, complete with disco ball. |
| 178 | * HandPuppet: According to the localized website for ''Endless Frontier'', the Jyaki-GUN-Oh's actually a puppet on strings, made to resemble a mecha. |
| 179 | * HealingShiv: In ''EXCEED'', one of Suzuka's Special Skills is healing the entire party [[MoreDakka with bullets]], but {{Subverted}} when closer inspection reveals they're really confetti and party poppers. |
| 180 | * HighClassFan: She wields a pair of folding fans that reflect on her status as a Shiki-Oni princess, and they are also her weapon of choice as she uses them in combat to control her Jyaki-GUN-Oh through puppetry and dancing. |
| 181 | * HypocriticalHumor: Makes fun of Neige for showing her belly button when they first meet despite it being Suzuka's primary form of fanservice. |
| 182 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "Dance It Out!" and "Dance It Out! (Hyper Remix)" |
| 183 | * MagikarpPower: Low damage output and relatively fragile, but she can fill the Frontier Gauge to maximum by herself through move-cancelling in the first game. In ''EXCEED'', once she learns "Ghost Dance", she becomes a juggernaut. |
| 184 | * MundaneMadeAwesome: She can make the Jyaki-GUN-Oh wail on an enemy with '''DISCO''' complete with disco ball and multicolored lights. |
| 185 | * PaperFanOfDoom: {{Dual Wield|ing}}s both, to which she can control the Jyaki-GUN-Oh via strings from the fans. |
| 186 | * PuppetFighter: Suzuka controls her Jyaki-GUN-Oh through puppetry from the wires in her fans as well as dancing. |
| 187 | * TheOjou: Portrays this slightly better than Kaguya; exemplified by having a NoblewomansLaugh, instead. |
| 188 | * TheTease: While she doesn't actively do this, she does act like this toward Shuten in the ending. |
| 189 | %%* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld |
| 190 | * RedOniBlueOni: Blue oni (both literally and metaphorically) to Kaguya's red - compared to the latter and the rest of the party, Suzuka is often the OnlySaneMan, though is edged out once Reiji joins the party. |
| 191 | %%* RunawayFiance |
| 192 | * ThemeNaming: After Suzuka Gozen, the Oni Princess who joined the hero in her story. |
| 193 | * {{Youkai}}: Obviously themed after the traditional, blue, one-horned {{Oni}}, but she's a subversion of this character's archetypal tropes - rather than a brute physical fighter, she's a dance puppeteer. |

| 198 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/AledyNaash.jpg]] |
| 199 | -> '''Voiced by''': Creator/TomokazuSeki |
| 200 | |
| 201 | Protagonist for the sequel ''Endless Frontier EXCEED'', Aledy Naash's a warrior of the "[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact3 Shura]]" sent by his mentor Cindy Bird to investigate the new emergence of "Mild Kiel" crystals in the newly reformed Endless Frontier, as well as the missing machine "Ark-On". He's assisted by the lost princess of Elfetale Neige Hausen. |
| 202 | |
| 203 | Despite being a Shura and a practioner of ''Kishin Ken'', there is no establishing link between Aledy and the Shura who appear in ''Original Generation Gaiden''. Coupled with the surname "Naash", neither is there any indication he's related to [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact3 Alkaid Nassh]]. |
| 204 | ---- |
| 205 | [[hardline]] |
| 206 | * ButtMonkey: His tendency to completely miss the point in a lot of situations makes him a perfect target of ridicule by his allies and enemies alike. |
| 207 | * CombinationAttack: ''Haou Maretsu Ken'' with the Ark-On. |
| 208 | * CripplingOverspecialization: InUniverse, Aledy's ''Haki'' sealing technique is developed as a means to defeat ''Rasetsu-Ki'' like the Ark-On but it has no effect on anything that's alive. On the other hand, [[spoiler:the technique is useful against the [[GrandTheftMe body-stealing]] BigBad currently in possession of an android body]]. |
| 209 | * DiscOneNuke: Most of Aledy's attacks early in the game can cause guard break and potentially stun enemies, rendering them immobile for one turn. He also learns the "Training" Spirit Command[[note]]Gain the effects of "Luck" and "Effort"[[/note]], allowing him to level early in ''EXCEED''. |
| 210 | * FishOutOfWater: A bit worse than Folka from ''Original Generation Gaiden'' since Aledy's more [[ChasteHero clueless about the opposite sex]]. In fact, he doesn't even know what "handsome" means. PlayedForLaughs with [[CampGay Katze Kotolnos]]. |
| 211 | * GuysSmashGirlsShoot: His fighting style relies on his [[RapidFireFisticuffs fists]] and martial arts while Neige carries a {{BFG}}. |
| 212 | %%* HotBlooded: [[PigeonholedVoiceActor Just look at his voice actor]]. |
| 213 | * KiManipulation: Shoots dragon-shaped ki projectiles at the enemy in his regular moves and Overdrive. |
| 214 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "Crimson Ashura" and "Roar, O One Who Breaks Supremacy" |
| 215 | * LightningBruiser: Fast, hits hard and pretty sturdy, Aledy later comes packing with the "Soul" Spirit Command. |
| 216 | * MaleGaze: Neige notices where Aledy's looking at upon meeting Kaguya and proceeds to berate him. |
| 217 | * RapidFireFisticuffs: A staple of ''Kishin-Ken'' practitioners; also includes rapid-fire kicks. |
| 218 | * SpannerInTheWorks: The BigBad of ''EXCEED'' would've succeeded had Aledy followed Shura ideaology to a T, had Aledy not [[spoiler:have the ability to seal ''Haki'' access from a ''Rasetsu-Ki'']]. |
| 219 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it "Aledy" or "Alady"? |
| 220 | * TheStoic: Unless he's yelling his {{Kiai}}, Aledy's a pretty reserved guy. |
| 221 | * TakeAThirdOption: Shura ideaology states there are only two paths in life - win and crush the enemy or lose and die; [[spoiler:Aledy chooses neither]]. |
| 222 | * TeenGenius: One of the most skilled Shura with an outrageous amount of ''Haki'' (according to [[TheRival Hamelin Silbato]]) at the age of 14. By the time ''EXCEED'' occurs, Aledy's more skilled, making Hamelin wonder whether Cindy is that good of a mentor or if Aledy's just that good himself. |

| 231 | Female protagonist of ''EXCEED'', Neige Hausen's a [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld 117-year old]] princess of the fairies in the Elfetale Kingdom, which was destroyed sometime before the first ''Endless Frontier'', now accompanying Aledy in his quest. |
| 232 | ---- |
| 233 | [[hardline]] |
| 234 | * AttackReflector: Parts of Neige's techniques involve conjuring mirrors which deflects the solid rounds fired from her weapon with exceptional accuracy. May double as ImprobableAimingSkills as none of the rounds manages to hit her. |
| 235 | * TheBigDamnKiss: [[spoiler:Gives one to Aledy in the ending of ''EXCEED'']]. |
| 236 | * CombinationAttack: "Royal Heart Blaster" with the "Fee-Kleid" |
| 237 | * DoItYourselfThemeTune: Nana Mizuki performs the opening theme song to ''EXCEED'' ""UNCHAIN∞WORLD". |
| 238 | * EasilyForgiven: Neige is quick to forgive Agrado Heim's shortcomings, although the latter explains the situation first. To be fair, she is quite sceptic to the situations. |
| 239 | * GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Carries a {{BFG}} while Aledy's fighting style relies on [[RapidFireFisticuffs fists]] and martial arts. |
| 240 | * {{Hammerspace}}: Aside from the mirrors, she pulls apple grenades via VictoriasSecretCompartment. |
| 241 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "Fairy ROM-Antic" and "Fairy ROM-Antic Go!" |
| 242 | * NoblewomansLaugh: Complete with hand-next-to-mouth pose. |
| 243 | * SexyBacklessOutfit: Her {{Meido}} outfit gets a backless variant |
| 244 | * {{Sideboob}}: Her primary form of fanservice. |
| 245 | * SwissArmyGun: Like Haken's Night Fowl, her spear doubles as a {{BFG}} that fires solid-based ammo and [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]] ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome and also functions as a guitar]]''. |
| 246 | * {{Tsundere}}: Neige instantly gets pegged as one during her introduction to one of the other characters. It turns out to be spot on. |
| 247 | * WellExcuseMePrincess: As part of her {{Tsundere}} tendencies, she'll often criticize Aledy's shortcomings, even if it's like him lamenting that he lacks training, to which she responds that she'll be the first to [[NoblewomansLaugh laugh at him]]. |
| 248 | * VerbalTic: Has a tendency to add "do-" before words (making it "do-(noun/verb)"); it approximately means "super" (noun/verb). |

Utilizing various hi-tech equipment like {{Laser Blade}}s and combat robots, they roam around Elfetale and cause the Cross Gates that connects between worlds to be unstable. |
| 258 | |
| 259 | In ''EXCEED'', they aid the main party as support members. Aschen, having been given an offer to join by Henne at the end of the first game, is one of its members. |

| 262 | * AFatherToHisMen: Ezel; [[spoiler:in ''EXCEED'', when Gerda Miroir's magic mirror creates a reflection of the most important person in his heart, it produces the remaining members of the Orchestral Army]]. |
| 263 | * AttackDrone: Kyon's Overdrive, complete with ShootEmUp style. |
| 264 | * CampGay |
| 265 | ** [[spoiler:Katze Kotolnos]]; to hammer the point home, he uses the [[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns feminine-only "atashi"]]. |
| 266 | ** [[spoiler:Katze]] still keeps making passes at the guys in ''EXCEED'', prompting Haken to tell him to "not fall for him" when he praises him excessively. Made funnier by the fact Haken uses the same phrase a lot during combat when he's busy beating down {{Mooks}}, although with a more mocking intent. |
| 267 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: As camp as [[spoiler:Katze]] is, he holds off the entire party by himself at one point in ''Endless Frontier''. |
| 268 | * CuteClumsyGirl: The first two encounters with Kyon in the first game has her trapped and "helped" by the party. Bonus points for the fact that she, as Henne points out, carries a teleporter. In EXCEED, Alady finds her trapped under one of the rocks he needs to break to proceed. |
| 269 | * {{Emoticon}}: Kyon frequently uses this. |
| 270 | --> '''Henne''' (reading from a report): "Bad-tempered robot (I hate this one the most >XD)." |
| 271 | * ExtremityExtremist: All of [[spoiler:Katze's]] techniques are used only by his legs, including his Overdrive. |
| 272 | * HeroicBSOD: Ezel's been emotionally down since the end of the Ten Year War; it isn't until the end of the first game he finally lets go of his past. |
| 273 | * IllNeverTellYouWhatImTellingYou: Kyon's prone to doing this. It carries over to EXCEED, where multiple party members get angry over it whenever she does it. |
| 274 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: The fact they are supporting characters in ''EXCEED'' spoils TheReveal [[spoiler:they are not the main antagonists of the first game]]. Furthermore, ''EXCEED'' also spoils [[spoiler:that Formido Heim was manipulated by the Einst who possessed their king, which triggered the Ten Year War, and the cause of the ceasefire]]. |
| 275 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "[[ShapedLikeItself Orchestral Army]]" |
| 276 | %%* LetsGetDangerous: When the party fights [[spoiler:Katze]] |

| 278 | * NiceGuy: In spite of his BigGuy credentials, Ezel is [[GentleGiant the nicest character]] in the first game. |
| 279 | * NobleDemon: Ezel, figuratively and literally; [[spoiler:{{Subverted}} because he might be the most explicitly ''heroic'' character in the series who personally put an end to the Ten Year War. [[HeroicSelfDeprecation He still thinks he deserves to be called a villain, though]]]]. |
| 280 | * OddNameOut: While all of its members [[ThemeNaming reference animals]], Kyon's name is Greek while the others are German. |
| 281 | * OnlySaneMan: Ezel (and to an extent, [[spoiler:Katze]]) is the most normal character on the team. |
| 282 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Whenever Ezel uses his Overdrive. |
| 283 | * TheReveal: [[spoiler:[[DarkIsNotEvil Formido Heim's been trying to prevent a full-blown Einst invasion]], who created an imposter of their deceased king, which pushed Formido Heim into the Ten Year War. Katze, who held the rank of Vice-Captain, leaves the group to become TheAtoner]]. |

Using data found in the "Tinkerbell" supercomputer of the ''Neverland'' battleship, Cardia restores the Phantom's original programming after encountering it, assigning it to work alongside her. After being defeated by Haken (whom the Phantom designates as its primary user), it forcibly shuts itself down, allowing the party to capture it. When the Nacht and Abend malfunction following an encounter with Haken's party in Varna Kanai, the Phantom automatically inserts its programming into them, converting both machines to serve Haken and his allies. The Phantom follows Haken faithfully and by the start of ''EXCEED'', is the only robot that still accompanies him (whereas the Nacht and Abend have mysteriously disappeared). |

When the overambitious king of Formido Heim attempted to explore a recently opened Cross Gate, he returned possessed by the Einst; this impostor started the Ten Year War of genocide with Elfetale. The Einst also possessed three machines that accompanied him: the Nacht, the Abend and the Arkgain. |

| 692 | * TheresNoPlaceLikeHome: Their desire to return home is their reason for committing their acts in the series. They opened a large number of Cross Gates when they landed in the Endless Frontier, eventually separating them, leading to the state they are during the first game. |
| 693 | * TheVirus: The Mild Kiel crystals scattered throughout the Endless Frontier are a benign variant in that they don't change its infectees into something grotesque, but rather slowly {{Brainwash}} them. |
