8 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
9 | [[folder:Akimoto]] |
10 | !!Akimoto Infernus |
11 | |
12 | Former leader of the Rebels and self-proclaimed Demon Lord. He begins the series as an antagonist until his humiliating accidental defeat at the hands of Almaz (and a conveniently-place wine glass). Forced to give up his cushy, hedonistic lifestyle, he's forced into the main party and travels alongside them on their journey. Self-centered and cocky, his apparent prowess in battle does little to compensate for his less-than-agreeable behavior. |
13 | |
14 | !!! Tropes: |
15 | |
16 | * AuthorAvatar: WordOfGod even states that Aki is intended to reflect some of the author's major traits. |
17 | * BadBoss: Treats his men pretty poorly - enough to have them desert him after only a few months of being hired. |
18 | %%** Doubles as TheNeidermeyer. |
19 | %%* {{BFS}} |
20 | * EekAMouse: Terrified of small rodents, most notably squirrels. |
21 | %%* EntitledBastard |
22 | * EntitledToHaveYou}: In regards to pretty much every woman he interacts with. His attempted rescue of Miyu is a particularly strong example. |
23 | * FantasticRacism: Or a Fantastic Racist in this case. Hates all humans, claiming that they're all terrible and irredeemable... Despite being an [[TooDumbToLive ally]] of humans Almaz and Ariadne. |
24 | * GeneralFailure: Tauntus is more successful in rallying Aki's troops than Aki himself. |
25 | %%* GloryHound |
26 | %%* HotBlooded |
27 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Again, seems to reflect back on his complete inability to acknowledge his own faults. Of particular note is him calling out Victoire's cousin for being arrogant, selfish, and entitled - all traits that Aki himself has demonstrated with aplomb. |
28 | * IAmXSonOfY: Makes frequent mention of his father Ensis and his overall lineage as a warrior. |
29 | * IncompatibleOrientation: Has a fairly obvious crush on fellow commander [[LipstickLesbian Victoire]]. |
30 | %%* ItsAllAboutMe |
31 | %%* {{Jerkass}} |
32 | * KatanasAreJustBetter: Despite being referred to as a 'Centurion's' blade, Aki's sword is still somehow a katana. |
33 | %%* LargeHam: Particularly prior to his defeat by Almaz. |
34 | * {{Mangst}}: Subverted. Aki's lamenting about his dead dad is played as this, but falls flat due to repetition. |
35 | * NeverMyFault: Seems to be completely unable to own up to his own behavior. |
36 | %%* PrimaryColorChampion |
37 | %%* RebelliousSpirit |
38 | * WeHaveReserves: His style of commanding relies heavily on this. Of course, he only has said reserves thanks to borrowing from Victoire's own troops. |
39 | [[/folder]] |
40 | |
41 | [[folder: Vent]] |
42 | !!Vent, Overlord of the Abyss |
43 | |
44 | !!! Tropes |
45 | |
46 | * AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: His father, the original Overlord of the Abyss, was a psychopathic despot who murdered his wife and drove his own son temporarily insane.]] |
47 | %%* ButtMonkey |
48 | * CasanovaWannabe: The only way he seems to be able to get any girl is by forcibly stealing them away |
49 | %%* HeterosexualLifePartners: Also with Aki and Raz. Mostly Aki. |
50 | %%* PowerMullet |
51 | %%* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The sensitive guy to Raziel's manly man. |
52 | %%* {{Slimeball}} |
53 | %%* ThoseTwoGuys: With Raz. |
54 | %%* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Akimoto |
55 | * VillainousFashionSense: While not as flagrant as some other trope examples, his almost exclusively black, excessively-zippered, ominously torn wardrobe in contrast to {{Foil}} Akimoto's brighter primary colors mark him as deliberately sinister. |
56 | |
57 | [[/folder]] |
58 | |
59 | [[folder: Fiona]] |
60 | !! Fiona |
61 | |
62 | |
63 | %%* CuteWitch |
64 | %%* FriendToAllLivingTHings |
65 | %%* IncorruptiblePurePureness |
66 | %%* {{Pollyanna}} |
67 | * SealedEvilInACan: This applies more to [[spoiler: Arcana, the spirit of the vengeful overlord sealed inside her.]] |
68 | * {{Tykebomb}}: [[spoiler: Albeit an unwilling one, considering she's a highly dangerous and unstable vessel for a malevolent entity.]] |
69 | %%* TokenMiniMoe |
70 | %%* WhiteMagicianGirl |
71 | [[/folder]] |
72 | |
73 | [[folder: Tauntus]] |
74 | !! Tartarus Krichevskoy (Tauntus) |
75 | |
76 | A character borrowed from a sister fanwork, ''Disgaea Corruption of Innocence''. Because the two stories run on different timelines, the explanation given for his presence is that he and his brother Veneficus used Tick-Tock to travel back in time and stop Atropos, the denizen of time, from reforming the timelines. |
77 | |
78 | !!!Tropes |
79 | |
80 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: Though he's got the hots for two girls, Helena and Alessa, neither of them like him and find him impossibly irritating. |
81 | %%* AllTakeAndNoGive |
82 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite his moronic appearances, Tauntus is entirely capable of destruction whenever angry. |
83 | ** Demonstrated in one of his special moves, Typheus Overdrive, in which he literally destroys an entire volcano. |
84 | ** At one point he angrily destroys the boundary around Akimoto's Tower, although the shield was rumored to be utterly impenetrable. |
85 | ** Occasionally leans more toward the LetsGetDangerous trope, remaining completely giddy while beating down enemies. |
86 | ** In the future, his presence alone is enough to intimidate the rebellious Scarlet into submission. She seems to only be afraid of his threat to "drop a mountain on her" if she continued to argue with Alessa. |
87 | ** He's the only one who has ever run headlong into the fray with a denizen without a second thought. |
88 | * FluffyTamer: Tartarus can calm almost any screaming beast. |
89 | ** He calmed a manticore that was waiting in Asbael's den. |
90 | ** Whenever squirrels were released onto the field in a battle as a distraction, Tart adopted all of them and now utilizes them as an extensive spy network that lets him know all of Aki's secrets. |
91 | ** Actually does tame a mutant he names Fluffy. |
92 | * HairAntennae: Fittingly given a haircut by his brother Adon, demoting him to simply IdiotHair. |
93 | %%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold |
94 | * {{Kidanova}} : Subverted. He thinks he's a real lady-killer, but girls around his own age find him irritating and women find him more cute and endearing than anything. |
95 | ** Instead he tends to refer to attractive older women as "mom" |
96 | * KillItWithWater: Tauntus is a helpless hydrophobe, ridiculous enough that his antics can immediately be put to an end with a handy-dandy spray bottle. |
97 | ** He is even more afraid of snow and ice. |
98 | %%* KillerRabbit |
99 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: Although he's regarded as a none-too bright scamp by most of the cast, Tartarus is no stranger to behavior typically seen in Etna, [[spoiler: who he learned it from]]. |
100 | ** This front allows him to get away with nearly anything just because he's seen as childish and endearing. Suckers. |
101 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: Tauntus has no fewer than two pet dragons that the audience and cast are aware of. Considering his tendency to 'adopt' them, he may have more hidden somewhere. |
102 | ** He used Aki's fridge as a water dragon hatchery, of course, without permission to do so. |
103 | * PlayingWithFire |
104 | * ProfessionalButtKisser: To Laharl, mainly because [[spoiler: Laharl grows up to be his father.]] |
105 | ** More than incidentally to Etna for similar reasons. |
106 | ** Interestingly enough, Akimoto becomes one of these to Tauntus in the future, referring to the child as "My Lord." |
107 | * RedOniBlueOni: Tauntus plays the role of Red Oni. |
108 | * RedIsHeroic |
109 | * Team Pet |
110 | |
111 | [[/folder]] |
112 | |
113 | [[folder: Adon]] |
114 | !! Veneficus Krichevskoy (Adon) |
115 | |
116 | |
117 | A character borrowed from a sister fanwork, WebOriginal/DisgaeaCorruptionOfInnocence. Because the two stories run on different timelines, the explanation given for his presence is that he and his brother Tartarus used Tick-Tock to travel back in time and stop Atropos, the denizen of time, from reforming the timelines. |
118 | |
119 | !!!Tropes |
120 | |
121 | %%* BlueCollarWarlock |
122 | * CatsAreMean: His pet housecat, Minerva, appears to be borderline homicidal. |
123 | %%* ChildMage |
124 | %%* DeadpanSnarker |
125 | * DealWithTheDevil: Made a deal with Vindaego unknowingly as a child which allowed the universe's fabric to start to come apart. |
126 | %%* GreenThumb |
127 | * HairAntennae: Keeps them hidden, somehow, in his hair. Resemble bunny ears. |
128 | %%* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide |
129 | %%* NatureLover |
130 | * PardonMyKlingon: Shown to be able to communicate with Denizens by making strange guttural throat noises. Corruption's long-standing presence and presence in his mind probably allows him to do this. |
131 | %%* RedOniBlueOni: Adon plays the role of Blue Oni. |
132 | %%* SarcasticDevotee |
133 | %%* SquishyWizard |
134 | * TheShadowKnows: Except in this case, the shadow itself is a shapeshifting monster that knows all of his hidden secrets. |
135 | %%* TheTragicRose |
136 | * YouAreWhatYouHate: [[spoiler: An angel, or rather, fallen angel since a very young age.]] |
137 | |
138 | [[/folder]] |
139 | |
140 | [[folder: Archimedes]] |
141 | !! Archimedes Ydriss |
142 | |
143 | %%* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Axel. |
144 | %%* TheAlcoholic |
145 | %%** AlcoholicParent: Poor, POOR Jasper. |
146 | %%* BadassBookworm |
147 | %%* BadassLongcoat: As with above, the 'badass' part can be rather conditional. |
148 | %%* BunnyEarsLawyer |
149 | * CarpetOfVirility Of the Type One variety. Under those clothes, he's absolutely COVERED in hair. |
150 | %%* TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes |
151 | * CutenessProximity: {{Stoic}} or not, he turns into a puddle of baby-talking goo around cats and kittens. |
152 | %%* CynicalMentor |
153 | %%* HerrDoktor |
154 | * {{Fanboy}}: Obsessed with Axel to the point of hero worship (and a borderline CelebCrush) |
155 | * FreudianExcuse: The memories of childhood abuse could have been dealt with if they'd been kept safely repressed. However, Mao reopening them -- and the MindRape that followed -- left Archi traumatized and lacking the emotional capability to deal with them. Or much else, for that matter. |
156 | %%* GermanicDepressives |
157 | * IWasQuiteTheLooker: Revealed to be a handsome, athletic PrettyBoy prior to his breakdown. |
158 | %%* JadeColoredGlasses |
159 | %%* {{Jerkass}} |
160 | * KnightInSourArmor: As evidenced by his desire to continue his job because while he doesn't like the people he works with, he believes they still deserve help. |
161 | %%* MindOverMatter |
162 | %%* MustHaveNicotine |
163 | %%* PsychicNosebleed |
164 | * ReallyGetsAround: Bordering on ExtremeOmnisexual after the revelation that Corruption can shapeshift into Vyers. |
165 | %%* SourOutsideSadInside |
166 | %%* TroubledAbuser |
167 | * TVGenius: {{Subverted}}. While he's highly intelligent and one of the most analytically-talented people in his field of work, he's also foul-mouthed, prone to lapsing into {{Buffyspeak}} , and has a sense of humor on par with a twelve-year-old boy. And his lack of common sense tends to drown out his high IQ on most occasions. |
168 | * WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: Less than impressed with how his shy, emotional son turned out. |
169 | [[/folder]] |
170 | |
171 | [[folder: Raz]] |
172 | !! Raziel |
173 | |
174 | * AndIMustScream: Arguably his fate post-series; while it's not as severe as some of the other examples, being trapped in a rotting, undead body and being forbidden to die so you can look after your high school buddy's kids is still pretty awful. |
175 | %%* CharlesAtlasSuperpower |
176 | %%* DeadpanSnarker |
177 | %%* OurZombiesAreDifferent |
178 | %%* GoodOldFisticuffs |
179 | %%* OnlySaneMan: Often plays this to Akimoto and Vent. |
180 | %%* ThoseTwoGuys: With Vent. |
181 | [[/folder]] |
182 | |
183 | [[folder: Vayle]] |
184 | !! Vayle |
185 | |
186 | %%* BattleBallgown |
187 | %%* BlackMage |
188 | %%* ClingyJealousGirl |
189 | %%* CostumePorn |
190 | %%* {{Goth}} |
191 | * GreenEyedMonster: Becomes instantly and disproportionately jealous of any girl Aki shows interest in. |
192 | %%* InformedAttractiveness |
193 | %%* {{Necromancer}} |
194 | %%* NoSocialSkills |
195 | %%* RichBitch |
196 | %%* SatelliteLoveInterest: To Aki. |
197 | * SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: She'll firmly and repeatedly insist that the ghosts who make her dresses for her do it of their own free will, and aren't enslaved. |
198 | * TomeOfEldritchLore: Inherited from her mother; it apparently contains every spell known to demon, angel, and humankind. Or so we're told. |
199 | %%* VainSorceress |
200 | %%* WomanScorned |
201 | [[/folder]] |
202 | |
203 | |
204 | [[folder: Asbael]] |
205 | !! Asbael |
206 | |
207 | %%* AffablyEvil |
208 | %%* AgentPeacock |
209 | %%* AxCrazy |
210 | %%* BewareTheSillyOnes |
211 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: Asbael doesn't perpetrate most of his acts because he's evil so much as he does because he operates on an insane sort of alien logic. |
212 | %%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: A dangerous and highly unstable version. |
213 | %%* CrouchingMadmanHiddenBadass |
214 | * DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu: [[spoiler: After the fake Miyu revealed 'herself' to be the EldritchAbomination Nybras, Asbael was instantly smitten. The two went through with their marriage, and are now blissfully wedded and parents to a hideously grotesque creature of their own.]] |
215 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Crazy or not, he adores his "wife" and dotes on his child. |
216 | * TheEvilPrince: Moreso in his youth, just after his StartOfDarkness. |
217 | * FisherKing: His realm and its inhabitants are inherently tied to his own madness. |
218 | * GoKartingWithBowser: Typically a villain, but after the Miyu incident, he seemed to appear almost casually. |
219 | * HappilyMarried: To a horrifying sack of fat covered in sentient faces. |
220 | %%* HotGuyUglyWife |
221 | * ImAHumanitarian: One of his favorite foods is Servant's-Hand Pie. |
222 | %%* LargeHam |
223 | %%* TheMadHatter |
224 | %%* MasterOfIllusion |
225 | %%* MoodSwinger |
226 | %%* NightmareFuelStationAttendant |
227 | %%* PapaWolf: God help you if you so much as think about harming Newyn. |
228 | %%* PsychopathicManchild |
229 | * RealityWarper: To a degree, though this is mostly based in illusion. |
230 | * {{Squick}}: [[spoiler: His penchant for disemboweling hapless servants and guests and using their entrails for interior decoration aside, there was also the whole matter of him falling head-over-heels in love with Nybras. And conceiving a child with it. And he's dropped hints that he wants to have more. Urgh.]] |
231 | %%* UsedToBeASweetKid |
232 | [[/folder]] |
233 | |
234 | [[folder: Corruption]] |
235 | !! Corruption (Darkie) |
236 | |
237 | A character borrowed from a sister fanwork, WebOriginal/DisgaeaCorruptionOfInnocence. Because the two stories run on different timelines, the explanation given for his presence is that Atropos, Denizen of time, traveled to a time before Adon's birth to release denizens from their artifacts. Corruption was released by Atropos. |
238 | |
239 | %%* LivingShadow |
240 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity}: Despite his power, he's shown to be extremely capricious in behavior. This can take him anywhere from {{Cloudcuckoolander}} to AxCrazy, often in a matter of seconds. |
241 | * GuyOnGuyIsHot: Seems....fascinated by homoeroticism. Morphs into Vyers at several points to attempt to woo in Archi. He succeeds. |
242 | * OddballDoppelganger |
243 | * DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Corruption is under employ, possibly a slave of EldritchAbomination Vindaego, and is supposed to collect Adon's soul for the Denizens. However, Corruption appears determined to slack off on this goal because he considers Vindaego a horrible boss. |
244 | ** He actually doesn't want to do his duty at all, as he is afraid of Vindaego and would rather join the cast than prey on them. |
245 | * GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler: Whenever Ainoire collects enough Denizen artifacts to strengthen their power and becomes a servant of Vindaego, Ainoire nearly succeeds in sacrificing Adon, but Corruption leaves Adon's body and kills Ainoire first. Although he basically saved the universe, none of the party seem to appreciate his efforts.]] See NotEvilJustMisunderstood. He joins the party later on. |
246 | * MorphicResonance: No matter what shape or identity he assumes, he always remains the same dusky colors, has the same eyes, razor teeth, creepily long arms, large ears, and ultra-emaciated figure. |
247 | * PardonMyKlingon: Commonly interjects tidbits of R'lyehian into conversation. |
248 | [[/folder]] |
249 | |
250 | [[folder: Nybras]] |
251 | !! Nybras |
252 | |
253 | %%* BodyHorror |
254 | %%* EldritchAbomination |
255 | %%* ExtremeOmnivore |
256 | * FaceStealer: Obtains the appearance and abilities of anyone it consumes, and can briefly borrow a person's form even without eating them. |
257 | %%* HappilyMarried: To Asbael. |
258 | %%* HorrorHunger |
259 | * MamaBear: Doesn't exactly possess typical "maternal instincts", but is still highly protective of Newyn. |
260 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Live orc piglets. |
261 | [[/folder]] |
262 | |
263 | [[folder: Newyn]] |
264 | !! Newyn |
265 | |

270 | %%* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu |
271 | %%* EldritchAbomination |
272 | %%* ExtremeOmnivore |
273 | %%* HalfHumanHybrid: Sort of. |
274 | %%* HorrorHunger |
275 | %%* HumanoidAbomination |
276 | %%* HungryMenace |
277 | %%* IAmAHumanitarian |
278 | * {{Malaproper}}: Has a tenuous grasp on the English language at best, and often affectionately refers to living things as a "Meet". |
279 | %%* MoreTeethThanTheOsmond Family: In its EYES of all places. |
280 | * TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: Although it's hard to tell at this point, all signs indicate that little Newyn is already in the process of inheriting dear old Dad's complete lack of morals as well as 'Mom's' excessive and... Unusual appetite. Both Mom and Dad couldn't be more delighted, and this has only brought them closer as a family. |
281 | [[/folder]] |
282 | |
283 | [[folder: Miyu]] |
284 | !! Marumine Miyu |
285 | |
286 | * BerserkButton: Detests otaku and harbors a seething dislike towards most of her fanbase. |
287 | * BrainlessBeauty: Averted. In spite of her public persona playing her up as this, she's actually pretty intelligent. |
288 | * BrokenBird: To a small degree -- she's exceptionally bitter about the way her life and career turned out, though she's more angry than broken over it. |
289 | %%* CatGirl |
290 | %%* ContractualPurity |
291 | %%* CuteBruiser |
292 | %%* CuteLittleFangs |
293 | %%* IdolSinger |
294 | %%* {{Kawaiiko}} |
295 | * {{Moe}}: Applies strictly to her stage persona. [[spoiler: Nybras used this to its advantage when stealing her identity, pulling off a WoundedGazelleGambit in order to deceive Akimoto and company.]] |
296 | * NiceGirl: Mostly applies to her public persona. |
297 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Appears to be in her mid-teens, mostly due to every aspect of her appearance being micromanaged by her producers. |
298 | * PetTheDog: She's actually quite fond of kids, and has a soft spot for her younger female fans. |
299 | * PurityPersonified: A major part of her public image. |
300 | * WaifFu: [[spoiler: Began taking self-defense classes after the whole Nybras debacle. As it turns out, she's something of a natural, thanks in no small part to her species.]] |

307 | * CoolHorse: Well, horse-motorbike. |
308 | %%* HeadlessHorseman |
309 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Revealed to be something of a bully, particularly to Archimedes, when she was still alive. She gets better after dying. |
310 | * MyHorseIsAMotorbike: Half-and-half, in this case. |
311 | %%* StoutStrength |
312 | %%* {{Tomboy}} |

324 | %%* GirlsWithGuns |
325 | %%* MuggleBornOfMages |

331 | [[folder: Victoire]] |
332 | !! Victoire Chastain |
333 | |
334 | %%* ActionGirl |
335 | * CombatPragmatist: She's not above attacking someone when they're already down. |
336 | * DisappearedDad: Her father is never mentioned, and it's often assumed that he's dead or abandoned her mother before Victoire was born. [[spoiler: It probably has more to do with that fact that she's Vyers' bastard daughter, the product of a one-night stand that he's all but forgotten about.]] |
337 | %%* ElegantGothicLolita |
338 | %%* {{Fashionista}} |
339 | %%* {{Flynning}} |
340 | * {{Foil}}: Her status as the young army commander from a well-to-do house makes her something of a DistaffCounterpart to Akimoto. However, every other aspect is turned on his head, and her femininity, level-headedness, and far more delicate and refined style of combat make her a polar opposite to him. |
341 | %%* FragileSpeedster |
342 | %%* FriendlyEnemy: Seems to be forming this sort of relationship with Jezebel. |
343 | %%* GratuitousFrench |
344 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Claims to value the notions of honor and chivalry above everything else, but is clearly shown fighting dirty in one-on-one combat at least once. |
345 | %%* KickingAssInAllHerFinery |
346 | %%* LadyOfWar |
347 | * LadykillerInLove: A rare female variant. Her flirtatious behavior departs once she begins to crush on Jezebel, reducing her to a blushing, stammery mess. |
348 | * LikeFatherLikeSon: [[spoiler: A foppish, flamboyant aristocrat with a penchant for French and hidden talent as a leader? Sounds pretty familiar.]] |
349 | %%* LipstickLesbian |
350 | * MeaningfulName: Victoire stems from Victoria, the Latin word for "victory". It becomes fitting when she beats Aki in one-on-one combat. |
351 | ** IronicName: The surname Chastain is bastardized from "chastity", which pretty much [[IncorruptiblePurePureness explains]] itself. Meanwhile, Victoire is a female HandsomeLech who ReallyGetsAround and [[spoiler: happens to be half-succubus.]] |
352 | %%* TheOjou |
353 | %%* RegalRinglets |
354 | %%* RoyalRapier |
355 | * UpperClassTwit: Has shades of this due to her extreme naivete and unintentional arrogance towards the lower class. |

358 | [[folder: Celeste]] |
359 | !! Celeste Ydriss |
360 | |
361 | %%* AxCrazy: |
362 | %%* BerserkButton: Making a child uncomfortable. Period. |
363 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Mostly subverted. Celeste actually is a genuinely nice and sweet woman... She just can't stand seeing her 'babies' suffer. Played absolutely straight with her treatment of her husband. |
364 | %%* BrokenBird |
365 | %%* DissonantSerenity |
366 | %%* DomesticAbuse |

368 | %%* GodivaHair |
369 | %%* GoodGirlGoneBad |
370 | %%* HartmanHips |
371 | %%* InvulnerableKnuckles: Packs an absolutely terrifying punch. |
372 | * MamaBear: Harming one of her "babies" will lead inevitably to a RoaringRampageOfRevenge. |
373 | * MissingMom: Her own mother abandoning her and her father was one of the reasons Celeste wanted to become a mom in the first place. |
374 | %%* MyBelovedSmother |
375 | %%* StepfordSmiler: Type C. |
376 | * VerbalTic: Calls others 'darling' or 'baby'. |
377 | %%* WomanScorned: Poor, poor Archi. |
378 | * {{Yandere}}: A non-romantic variant -- she's extremely possessive of her children (and any child she regards as 'hers') and won't hesitate to go after anyone who's creating a threat towards her 'babies', imagined or otherwise, and getting them out of the way. |

381 | [[folder: Jasper]] |
382 | !! Jasper Ydriss. |
383 | |
384 | !!! Tropes: |
385 | |
386 | * AbusiveParents: In spite of Jasper's attempts to placate him, Archi treats him like absolute crap, insulting and belittling him when he's not ignoring him. |
387 | ** Resulted in an unintentional case of TheDogBitesBack when Jasper accidentally shot Archi in the leg during a prank. |
388 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Timid and stammery or not, he turns into a PapaWolf the instant his pets or family -- usually pets --- are threatened. |
389 | %%* CowardlyLion |
390 | * CuteKitten: Ends up with a small army of them after his pet catsaber Wiggly Pudding gives birth to a litter of wall-eyed, fluffy grey babies. |
391 | * DudeLooksLikeALady: Repeatedly mistaken for a girl by both Aki and Vent. |
392 | %%* TheEmpath |
393 | * FriendlessBackground: Until he met Adon, at least. |
394 | * GuysSmashGirlsShoot: {{Inverted}}. Jasper is trained in firearms and prefers to use rifles, while his sister Alessa uses GoodOldFisticuffs and later graduates to telekinetically-controlled {{Power Fist}}s. |
395 | %%* KindHeartedCatLover |
396 | * MyBelovedSmother: Has one in Celeste, who regards him as her "miracle baby"; it was so severe that she seldom let him play outside when he was little, and kept a months-long vigil over his cradle when he was a baby. |
397 | * ParentalNeglect: Jasper's dad seems to show far more interest in training Adon than he does in spending time with his own son. |
398 | %%* RealMenWearPink |
399 | %%* ShrinkingViolet |
400 | * SpeechImpediment: Speaks with a severe stutter. |
401 | * WellDoneSonGuy: Desperately tries to please his dad. Archi being the kind of [[JerkAss guy]] that he is, this goes about as well as you can expect. |

404 | [[folder: Alessa]] |
405 | !! Alessa Ydriss |

413 | %%* BrattyTeenageDaughter |
414 | %%* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette |
415 | %%* FallenAngel |
416 | * FreudianExcuse: Bullied and alienated by her peers in Celestia thanks to FantasticRacism -- being the child of demons -- and her inability to adapt and fit in like her brothers. Her dad neglecting her and initially refusing to accept her as his own also messed her up pretty badly. While it doesn't excuse her behavior, it at least explains her callous attitude and desire for attention. |
417 | * FilleFatale: Fancies herself as one. |
418 | %%* GirlishPigtails |
419 | %%* GirlyBruiser |
420 | %%* {{Jerkass}} |
421 | %%* Little MissSnarker |
422 | * LikeFatherLikeSon: In this case, for both parents. She borrows her manipulative StepfordSmiler behavior and hideous temper from her mother, and her snarky sense of humor -- and unfortunately, eventual drinking problems -- from her father. |
423 | %%* ManipulativeBitch |
424 | * MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: Or more specifically, Slightly-Unhinged Psychologist's Beautiful Daughter. Either way, she heavily subverts this; the {{Ingenue}} act is all pretense, and she detests her father to the point of wanting to murder him in order to attain fallen angel status. |
425 | %%* MindOverMatter: To a smaller extent than Archi. |
426 | %%* NightmareFetishist |
427 | %%* OlderThanTheyLook |
428 | * SmittenTeenageGirl: Harbors a massive crush on Vyers. Understandably, he's quite disturbed by this, and doesn't reciprocate. |
429 | * {{Sociopath}}: Even if she doesn't fit the textbook definition, she certainly has the makings of one; she's manipulative, deceptive, and has little respect for the well-being and lives of others, going as far as blatantly lying about being kidnapped and abused by Akimoto and Vent in order to provoke Celeste into beating them. However, she does seem to genuinely care about a few people - namely her mother and Helena - so her moral compass isn't totally absent. |
430 | * TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: {{Subverted}} -- Her tragic death as an infant seemed to mark her as this, but she turned out to be something completely [[JerkAss different]] upon her return. |
431 | %%* TsurimeEyes |
432 | %%* TaremeEyes: Depending on whether or not she's trying to manipulate someone. |

441 | %%* AndCallHimGeorge: Unfortunately, he doesn't always know his own strength. |
442 | %%* AntennaHair: In RegalRinglets, no less! |
443 | * BerserkButton: Long-haired attractive men, particularly incubi. And Adon, for reasons that Raiden himself doesn't seem to understand. [[spoiler:It most likely has something to do with both things reminding him of his estranged father]]. |

453 | %%* ManChild |
454 | %%** Later shows shades of PsychopathicManchild as well, particularly around Adon. |
455 | %%* NoSocialSkills |
456 | * {{Squick}}: [[spoiler:His own parentage is potentially this; he's the result of a short-lived relationship between Flonne and Vyers in an alternate timeline, and the age difference alone might cause some people to cringe]]. |
457 | * {{Otaku}}: A huge fan of giant robot/mecha series -- as well as magical girls and horror. |

490 | %%* GadgeteerGenius |
491 | * HealingFactor: Recovers from most wounds at an abnormal pace due to her succubus blood. However, her left eye is still only half-formed, and will probably never regrow completely. |
492 | %%* HornedHumanoid |
493 | * HumongousMecha: Building and piloting them is her main obsession. |
494 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Twin {{Sinister Scythe}}s modified into working shotguns. That can shift into missile launchers. |
495 | %%* MoreDakka |
496 | %%** Combines with MacrossMissileMassacre when she upgrades her weapons. |
497 | * OlderThanTheyLook: She's 68 years old and looks to be in her late twenties/early thirties. |
498 | * RetiredBadass: While she's still a merc, her days of campaigning to become Overlord are far behind her. |
499 | %%* SouthernFriedGenius |

507 | !! Cauchemaro |
508 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cauchemaroheadshoootntp_9398.png]] |
509 | [[caption-width-right:350:Sexy is dumb.]] |
510 | |
511 | Cauchemaro is an incubus, which one would presume to be the male equivalent of a succubus. However, Cauchemaro is not romance-loving, not a powerful hunter of the night, and certainly not a seducer. However, he's still virtually naked and very touchy-feely. |
512 | |
513 | Cauchemaro is the youngest incubus in his specific group and though an adult only recently reached maturity (control over emotions) that enables him to leave the incubus horde. He works as a butler in Vyers's castle, seeing Vyers like an incubus alpha and looking up to him with utmost respect. Cauchemaro is very domestic, enjoying cooking, cleaning, socializing, playing games, and doting on his adoptive family. Delmonico is his actual older brother. |
514 | |
515 | !!! Tropes: |
516 | |
517 | * BattleButler: Though usually submissive and passive, Cauchemaro is unbelievably strong and will tear through just about anything for his loved ones. |
518 | * CampStraight: He has shown no interest in men and would like to have a girlfriend or even wife someday, as soon as he knows he can control himself. |
519 | * CannotTalkToWomen: Borderline gynophobic. Understandable, since he was raised in an all-male society, and is afraid of messing up and hurting anyone. |
520 | %%* TheClan: Seems to be forming one. Before they took up lodgings with Vyers, Cauchemaro and Delmonico wandered around as a pair. |
521 | %%* GenderFlip: At least in his household roles. |
522 | * GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul: The typical self-imposed incubus method of emotion control - for the greater good. Cauchemaro just tends to be more intense with this than anyone else. |
523 | * GodivaHair: A mess of wavy hair falling all the way down his back. |
524 | %%* HiddenBadass |
525 | %%* HouseHusband: Unmarried, but...point still stands. |
526 | %%* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Guy, rather. |
527 | %%* KindlyHousekeeper |
528 | %%* LongHairedPrettyBoy |
529 | * MeaningfulName: It means 'incubus' in French, but not as much as it means "nightmare". Needless to say, Cauchemaro is the farthest thing from a nightmare |
530 | %%* NakedPeopleAreFunny |
531 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: His strength tends to go underestimated, leading him to break things if he gets too distracted. |
532 | %%* PlayingWithFire |
533 | * ReluctantMonster: His social class of incubus is at a level where he has a half-and-half possibility of going 'rogue,' or being puppeteered by instinct, and he's scared to death of the idea. |
534 | ** He was attacked by a rogue when he was younger, the memory of which cemented itself into his brain. |

541 | [[folder: Delmonico]] |
542 | !! Delmonico |
543 | |
544 | Del is one of the eldest members of the incubi clan working for Vyers. Older and fairly wiser than his inexperienced young relatives, he falls slightly more into the SuccubiAndIncubi category than the rest, in that he's a cunning and persuasive seducer capable of charming men and women alike. |
545 | |
546 | However, beyond that, he's kind and highly protective of his underlings, acting as sort of an older brother figure to them. He's also deeply respectful towards Vyers, frequently consulting him for advice. His level-headed and patient nature has lead him to become something of a second-in-command for Vyers, a role that he holds in high esteem. He is Cauchemaro's actual older brother. |
547 | |
548 | !!! Tropes: |
549 | |
550 | * BattleButler: Much like his 'brothers', Del is extremely loyal to his employer, and will stop at nothing to defend him. |
551 | %%* BerserkButton: God help the person who harms his vegetable garden. |
552 | %%** Can also be applied to anyone who makes Cauchemaro upset. |
553 | %%* BewareTheNiceOnes |
554 | * TheBigGuy: Easily the tallest and most well-built of the incubi. |
555 | %%* CantHoldHisLiquor |

557 | %%* AFatherToHisMen |

570 | |
571 | !!! Tropes: |
572 | |
573 | * AntiquatedLinguistics: Her speech pattern is very polite and old-fashioned, speaking like a cross between a Medieval knight and a character out of an old samurai movie. |
574 | %%* BadassLongcoat |
575 | * BlackEyesOfCrazy: When taken over completely by Enoch. |
576 | * BodyAndHost: Possessed by the denizen Enoch. |
577 | * CannotTalkToWomen: Gender-flipped. She considers any attractive man she stumbles across a threat to her vows of chastity and is terrified of them as a result, as witnessed in her interactions with Vyers and the incubi. |
578 | * CuteLittleFangs: Growing them as her transformation into a demon continues. |
579 | %%* GlassCannon |
580 | * HellBentForLeather: Sports a very nice leather catsuit under her robes. It's standard-issue for both genders in the Holy Order. |
581 | %%* HonorBeforeReason |
582 | %%* IaijutsuPractitioner |
583 | * KnightTemplar: Started out as one. Her possession by Enoch and time spent with demons has mellowed her out a little. |
584 | * MeaningfulName: Translates roughly to "holy woman" -- fitting, considering her profession. |
585 | * NinjaMaid: Becomes one of sorts to Adon, though she's not actually a 'maid'. |
586 | %%* NoSenseOfHumor |
587 | * NoSocialSkills: Due to spending most of her life in a monastery, she's pretty socially awkward. |

598 | * ApologeticAttacker: Takes this to the next level by apologizing while he's about to sacrifice Adon and his friends. |
599 | %%* BadassLongcoat |
600 | * CameBackWrong: Arguably. There's debate to whether his choice to serve Vindaego was purely born of misguided free will, or if he went partially crazy upon returning to life. |
601 | * GlasgowGrin: Has one leftover from his assault and murder by thieves. |
602 | %%* LongHairedPrettyBoy |
603 | %%* HellBentForLeather |
604 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: Horribly subverted. While he initially comes off as this, it turns out that he's already been corrupted for a while -- his resurrection and assumed debt at the hands of an unknown god drove him to attempt to sacrifice a child, along with the child's companions and brother. |
605 | %%* ParentalSubstitute: To Ariadne. |

617 | %%* Bratty Teenage Daughter |
618 | * BoisterousWeakling: Claims to love a good fight, rebels to an excessive and seemingly pointless degree, terrorizes her father's much weaker men...And gets her ass kicked by every other challenger, including seemingly frail Alessa. |
619 | %%* DaddysGirl |

629 | %%* MilesGloriosus |
