!'''''Power Stone'''''

[[folder:Edward Falcon]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PSFalcon_4065.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[AcePilot The Red Whirlwind]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyoHorikawa (''games''), Creator/MasayaOnosaka (''anime''), Creator/RobertTinkler (''English dub anime'')
-> '''Appears in:''' ''Power Stone'', ''Power Stone 2'', ''Power Stone Collection''.

-> ''"I'll find the secret of the stones!"''

-> A 21-year-old pilot hailing from [[UsefulNotes/LondonTown Londo]], and [[TheHero the main protagonist of the series]]. Edward is the scion of the prestigious Falcon family, and an adventurer that travels the world in his beloved ''Hockenheim'' biplane -- searching for the Power Stones revealed in an ancient family legend. Brave, determined, and with a strong sense of justice, he specialises in boxing and vanquishes evil with his sharp moves and explosive punches.

-> In the sequel, Falcon is in the middle of a transatlantic flight back to Londo in the ''Hockenheim'', when he gets caught in the middle of an enormous thunderstorm and loses control -- when before him, an enormous floating castle appears. After making an emergency crash-landing inside it, Falcon realises that this is ''"the ancient mysterious castle"'' said by his father to appear very rarely, and eagerly sets out to explore it.
----
* AcePilot: He's a very skilled pilot and adventurer who travels the World in his beloved antique biplane, the ''Hockenheim''.
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Edward follows in the footsteps of his elderly father Pride -- who later becomes playable as a hidden character in the sequel -- as a world-travelling adventurer and archaeologist.
* AndTheAdventureContinues: In the first game, he finds the Power Stone on Avalon Island, only to accidentally drop it as his father flies the two of them out of the collapsing ruins. The anime also ends with him (and Apollus, who stowed away in his plane) setting off on another adventure.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Gets this both ways in the anime adaptation. On the giving end, he has an unrequited crush on Rouge, and on the receiving end, is oblivious to Ayame ([[CampGay and Kikunojo]]) being in love with him. Later on though, it's heavily implied that he ''is'' aware of Ayame's feelings for him: but he likely chooses not to act on them due to him focussing more on the adventure and her being too young.
* BerserkButton: In the anime, insulting or questioning the motives of his hero, Valgas. This becomes a plot point in "United We Stand!", [[spoiler:when he angrily refuses to believe that [[EvilAllAlong Valgas is behind everything]] and quits the group. When he sees undeniable proof of it thanks to Galuda, however, he accepts it: [[BrokenPedestal although he's still clearly devastated.]]]]
* BloodKnight: A heroic take on the trope. Edward is a very polite and amicable gentleman for the most part, but he also very much enjoys a good challenge and battling against strong opponents whenever he can.
* BoxingBattler [=/=]GoodOldFisticuffs: Fights predominantly using boxing techniques, though he does effectively use kicks as well.
* BrokenPedestal: Towards Valgas in the anime. Falcon initially starts out admiring him as a kind, heroic wrestling great and aspires to be just like him, but is devastated when he finds out what he's really like after spending a long time in denial.
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: In the anime. He often gets annoyed with Apollus's antics and insistence on following him everywhere, but he does care for him a lot deep down.
* CasanovaWannabe: In the anime, he likes to flirt with attractive women, and often unsuccessfully competes with Ryoma for Rouge's attention.
* CoolPlane: As seen in his cinematics, he owns and flies an antique biplane named the ''Hockenheim''. It's a frequently-seen motif to do with the series, that fits in well with [[TwoFistedTales the whole basis of adventuring and treasure-hunting]].
* DoubleJump: Fittingly for a pilot, he's one of only a few characters capable of pulling these off.
* EleventhHourSuperpower: After [[spoiler:the seven Power Stones are reunited and form the Light Stone]] in "Destiny Hill", [[spoiler:Falcon taps into its power to become the '''Light Whirlwind''' to defeat Final Valgas. It's an even more powerful version of his Power Change form with white armour, angelic wings, and various [[LightEmUp light-based weapons]].]]
* GogglesDoNothing: He wears a big pair of flying goggles, but only ever puts them on over his eyes when he's flying: and more humorously, [[MundaneUtility while shampooing his hair.]]
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He's got blonde hair, is amicable if somewhat cocky, and is the main hero of the series.
* TheHero: He's the main character of both the games and the anime.
* HeroicWillpower: To protect his friends, he absolutely ''refuses'' to give up against [[spoiler:Valgas]] when they fight in the anime, even while receiving a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and [[spoiler:still reeling from the reveal that [[BrokenPedestal his long-time hero is the one behind everything]]]].
* HyperDestructiveBouncingBall: The Soccer Ball, his unlockable item. Activated by kicking it, the ball homes in on the nearest opponent and does multiple hits, bouncing off walls if it touches them. It's also mentioned in the ''Power Stone 2'' Item Book that the sport it comes from is very popular in Londo.
* JackOfAllStats: Falcon's designed around this, being quite strong but still quite quick.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: His characterization in the anime. Whilst he does start out as a SpoiledBrat, he mellows out over time into a still-cocky but well-meaning individual.
* UsefulNotes/LondonTown: Londo, his stage in the original game. It's set in a classic English-style fountain square outside a pub that overlooks the River Thames -- complete with a clock tower, nearby Fish & Chip shop, and Victorian-style lampposts.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: His ''Power Explosion'' Power Fusion involves launching a whole swarm of giant homing missiles at the nearest opponent.
* MrFanservice: Shares this role with Ryoma in the anime. He gets several scenes where he removes his flying jacket and reveals his HeroicBuild, most often in his prize fights. There's even [[FuroScene a bit]] in "The Great Thirst" where he falls out of an old hot tub (along with Apollus and Kikunojo, who were in with him) when it tips over, [[HilarityEnsues resulting in Ayame seeing him completely naked.]]
* MundaneUtility: One scene in "Girl Trouble" has Edward using his Power Stone -- an all-powerful relic that can transform its bearer and is a key part of a DismantledMacguffin that can grant wishes -- as ''a plug for his bath''.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: In the anime. Although he's from a nation clearly based on the United Kingdom, to the point of wearing Union Flags/Scottish Saltires on his flying jacket, Falcon is voiced in English with an American accent.
* NoseArt: Both the rockets on Falcon's back and the homing missiles he fires in his Power Change form have grinning shark faces painted on them -- giving them a resemblance to the [[https://i.pinimg.com/736x/83/44/99/8344998728af55afe097129040348dd3--sharks-tigers.jpg similar art]] used on UsefulNotes/WorldWar2-era American fighter planes.
** For a more standard example, the [[VideoGame/LegendaryWings Michelle Heart]] art seen on the back of his flying jacket can also be seen painted onto the sides of his ''Hockenheim'' biplane, as well as the [[PatrioticFervor Union flag]].
* PlayingWithFire: In his Power Change mode, although he effectively utilises [[StuffBlowingUp missiles and explosives]] as well.
* PoweredArmor: His Power Change form, the Red Whirlwind, bears resemblance to a DieselPunk version of this -- an aerodynamic armored form with numerous smokestacks and a shark face-clad rocket pack to fly with.
* RammingAlwaysWorks: His ''Power Rocket'' Power Fusion, which causes him to charge whilst homing in on the nearest opponent multiple times in a row.
* RedBaron: The ''Red Whirlwind''.
* RedIsHeroic: Fittingly for a heroic ace pilot, he wears red flying overalls and red armour in Power Change mode.
* RedOniBlueOni: Falcon has this dynamic going on with Ryoma in the anime, where he's the red -- being a HotBlooded JerkWithAHeartOfGold, while the latter is a [[TheComicallySerious comically-serious]] [[TheStoic stoic]] blue.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Wears a white flying scarf that he often wears loose.
* ShipTease: While Falcon had brief moments with Rouge at the very beginning of the anime, it is strongly hinted that he reciprocates Ayame’s feelings for him halfway through the series. It’s implied that Falcon doesn’t act on it due to Ayame being too young, and him focusing more on adventuring.
* {{Shoryuken}}: His ''Power Hurricane'' Power Drive, which involves him shrouding himself in fire and boosting into the air in a spinning pillar of flame, much like [[Characters/StreetFighterI Ken's]] ''Shinryuken'' Super Art.
** Although he loses the move in ''Power Stone 2'' -- it goes to his father Pride instead as a Power Fusion.
* ShoutOut: [[VideoGame/LegendaryWings Michelle Heart]] can be seen in [[https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/powerstone/images/4/4e/FalconConceptB.png/revision/latest?cb=20150119162112 a nose art-style illustration]] on the back of his flying jacket, and painted onto the side of his biplane. His Power Change form is also quite reminiscent of Marvel Comics' ComicBook/IronMan.
* SpinningPiledriver: Falcon's mid-air throw in the first game involves him performing a spinning IzunaDrop.
* SpoiledBrat: Falcon starts off this way in the anime adaptation, but becomes more humbled over time as he makes the journey for the Power Stones -- eventually mellowing out into a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* StuffBlowingUp: Can fire homing missiles as part of his ''Red Whirlwind'' Power Change. His ''[[MacrossMissileMassacre Power Explosion]]'' Power Fusion involves him launching an entire volley of giant homing missiles towards the nearest opponent(s).
* SuperSentaiStance: Falcon performs a quick one-man version of this pose when he transforms in both the original game and the anime.
* SympathyForTheDevil: In the anime, he tends to show compassion towards his antagonists, especially after getting to know them more. Key examples include him [[FromDressToDressing using his flying scarf to patch up Ayame's injured leg]] and forgiving her immediately when she later admits in Oedo to be the ninja who attacked him, showing pity to Jack and letting him keep his own Power Stone that the bandaged man took from him when he realises it used to belong to his deceased mother, and [[spoiler:[[SaveTheVillain vowing to save Valgas]] as well as his family and friends when they battle for the last time, even after he realises how far his former hero has fallen]].
* ThisCannotBe: Falcon has this reaction in the anime to the revelation that his hero Valgas is the one trying to steal the Power Stones. He's in such horrified denial about it that [[TenMinuteRetirement he temporarily quits the group,]] but eventually realises that it's true.
* ToBeAMaster: In the anime, Falcon wants to become the strongest fighter to emulate his hero Valgas. [[spoiler:It turns out that is also Valgas's motivation -- except he takes it even further to SocialDarwinism levels, which [[BrokenPedestal Falcon is repulsed by once he fully realises.]]]]
* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: A younger, more DownPlayed example, but still evident in his mannerisms.
* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: Much like fellow Creator/{{Capcom}} brawler [[Franchise/StreetFighter Guile]] and his US Flag tattoos, he wears Union Flags on the shoulders of his jacket. In some depictions, such as in the [[Anime/PowerStone anime]] and his cameo in ''VideoGame/CapcomVsSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium'', they're replaced with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Scotland St. Andrew's Crosses]] -- implying he may have [[BraveScot Scottish heritage in particular]].
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: He uses a spinning IzunaDrop as a mid-air throw in the first game.

[[folder:Ayame]]
[[quoteright:246:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ayamepowerstone_4.png]]
[[caption-width-right:246:[[HighlyVisibleNinja The Cherry Blossom Dancer]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Hikari Tachibana (''games''), Creator/TomokoKawakami (''anime''), Creator/StephanieMorgenstern (''English dub anime'')
-> '''Appears in:''' ''Power Stone'', ''Power Stone 2'', ''Power Stone Collection''.

-> ''"Kunoi -- '''transform!'''"''

-> A 16-year-old travelling entertainer from the city of Oedo. Ayame is the cheerful, lively and tomboyish star artiste of a travelling troupe, but is also secretly descended from a family of established ninjas -- and is herself a master ''kunoichi'' who enjoys toying with her opponents with daring feats of acrobatic grace. Under the orders of their Lord, she and her clan are sent on a quest to pursue the legendary Power Stones.

-> In the sequel, after fooling their Lord with a fake Power Stone whilst she and her family kept the real one under the belief that it was too powerful for him -- Ayame receives a letter from him whilst travelling with her troupe, requesting her to return. [[OhCrap Realising that her master discovered that the stone she gave him was a fake]], she decides to find another, real Power Stone to avoid being arrested -- and after hearing that the mysterious floating castle has them, Ayame sets out there on a secret journey to attain one.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: In the anime, she and her family have the surname of Yumatara (ユマタラ). Thus, Ayame Yumatara.
* AgeLift: She's 14 in the anime, two years younger than in the games.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: In the anime adaptation, Ayame falls in love with Falcon over time; but to her dismay, he's (seemingly) oblivious to it and has a hopeless crush on Rouge instead. That being said, [[ThePollyanna she remains optimistic even after everyone goes their separate ways]]: making plans to start her troupe's next abroad tour in Sun Land so she can meet Edward again.
* AnimalMotifs: Her Power Change form resembles both a rabbit and a butterfly.
* ApologeticAttacker: Apologises to her opponent/partner when performing a combination attack.
-->'''Ayame:''' Gomen ne! (''I'm sorry!'')
* AssKicksYou: Some of her kick-based combos in the original game involve her leaping forward to strike enemies with her hips. She can also do it as part of her ''Cherry Blossom Dance'' Power Fusion.
* BadassAdorable: One of the youngest fighters and certainly among the cutest, but definitely capable of laying a beating. She even lampshades it with one of her potential lines as she Power Changes;
-->'''Ayame:''' Kawaii, no? (''Cute, no?'')
* BecomingTheMask: In the anime, she initially [[FalseFriend only pretends to be friendly to Falcon to swipe his Power Stone at the first opportunity.]] After spending more time with him both in and out of battle, however (including one encounter where [[FromDressToDressing he uses his flying scarf to patch up her injured leg]] while she's in disguise), she grows to genuinely like and develops a crush on Edward: even making an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove when she's seemingly about to be killed by Kraken in "Ninja Rain".
* BladeSpam: Ayame's main form of attack in her Power Change (''Cherry Blossom Dancer'') mode, from giant-sized [[FlechetteStorm Kunai]] and [[FuumaShuriken Shuriken]]. Most notorious is her ''Hundred Flower Bloom'', which is near-impossible to dodge under most circumstances.
* BlushSticker: Has an ever-present blush to her cheeks.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: In her ending in the first game, Ayame looks at the player and gives the "hush" gesture with a mischievous smile, when she and her family hand over the fake Power Stone to their Lord.
* ButtMonkey: In the anime, Ayame frequently ends up on the receiving end of slapstick and other mishaps thanks to her role as an early antagonist-turned-ally. General rule of thumb being, if it's not happening to Apollus, it's likely happening to her.
* CherryBlossomGirl: Befitting for a ''kunoichi'', cherry blossoms are a reoccurring motif with Ayame -- her alternate form and several of her attacks are named after them, her thrown shurikens leave behind trails of petals, and when she uses the ''Cherry Blossom Hide'', she teleports away in a pink flash of them.
** Taken even further in the anime, where her Power Change form can also use the ''Petal Explosion'' technique, generating powerful barrages of energy beams shaped like them from her shuriken.
* CircusBrat: Despite predominantly being [[NinjaBrat raised as part of a ninja clan]], Ayame also grew up as part of her family's travelling troupe; and with her charisma and graceful acrobatic skills, is one of its star performers.
* CompressedHair: The anime shows Ayame with very long hair when her hair bun is let down.
* DanceBattler: Although she's a bit more subtle about it than Rouge, a clear dance influence can be seen in her attacks -- especially in the first game, where she packs a variety of acrobatic breakdance-inspired punches and kicks.
* DoubleJump: Capable of performing these, as can be expected of her agility and skills as a ''[[{{Ninja}} kunoichi]]''. In fact, she can use them to [[EasyLevelTrick completely cheese the Pharaoh Walker boss]] in the second game by double-jumping up to its body and wall-jumping off that to reach its top -- and then from there take control of its own [[WaveMotionGun laser-firing tail]] to [[HoistByHisOwnPetard shoot it through the head repeatedly]].
* EverybodyLaughsEnding: This happens [[http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/dc/a/pstoneaya.htm Ayame's ending]] in the first ''Power Stone'' -- when she and her family successfully fool their lord into accepting a regular rock as a gift under the belief that it's a Power Stone, whilst they keep the real one safe.
* FlechetteStorm: Ayame can summon and throw a series of Kunai throwing knives as part of her ''Hundred Flower Power'' in her Power Change form; she can also throw more of them at a time if you tap the button repeatedly during the attack.
* FloralThemeNaming: Her name means ''Iris'' in Japanese, and true to her Japanese([[IstanbulNotConstantinople ish]]) heritage and her profession as a {{Ninja}}, [[CherryBlossomGirl she's also associated a lot with Cherry Blossoms]].
* FragileSpeedster: Ayame is the fastest character in the original ''Power Stone'' and is roughly tied with [[MeaningfulName Accel]] in ''Power Stone 2'', but she's lacking in defence and has trouble throwing heavy objects.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: One of her introductions in both games involves her kneeling down with, talking to, and feeding a small group of songbirds from the palm of her hand. She is also shown to have [[KindheartedCatLover two pet cats]] in her ''Power Stone'' ending, and is often accompanied by a small bat companion in the tie-in manga.
* FuumaShuriken: As if the Kunai weren't enough, she can also summon and throw volleys of these in her ''Cherry Blossom'' Dancer form, and wears one on her back. She can also use one -- the Hana-Shuriken -- as a [[SmartBomb screen-clearing special move]] in the ''Ayame's Shuriken Training'' [=VMU=] game.
* GenkiGirl: Fittingly for her profession as an entertainer, she's a very energetic, excitable and cheerful young girl who goes into her battles with a smile, and enjoys using her agility to toy with her opponents.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Over the course of the anime, she establishes one with [[OldRetainer Apollus]]; the two often sharing scenes and working together, and [[spoiler:eventually growing close enough for Ayame to [[TakingTheBullet leap in front of a Dark Stone energy blast]] when a Power-Changed Valgas tries to kill him and Pride in "Destiny Hill"]].
* KillerRabbit: Both figuratively and literally. Ayame is easy to underestimate due to her young age and fragility, but still very much capable of [[WaifFu pummelling foes much larger than her]]. Literally becomes one in her ''Cherry Blossom Dancer'' form.
* LittleMissSnarker: Is this in the anime adaptation. Although she's usually a very cheery and upbeat GenkiGirl, she can have a ''very'' dry wit when the situation (typically involving [[{{Manchild}} her Lord]] or [[BumblingHenchmenDuo Octo & Pus]]) calls for it:
-->'''Ayame''': I'm sorry to say this, but it doesn't make sense!
-->'''Lord''': Yeah, you have a good point...
-->'''Ayame''': This drought is making everyone suffer so badly, that the kids are crying, and-
-->'''Lord''': [[EurekaMoment Eureka! That's it!]] If they're suffering, then they should cry. [[SubvertedTrope And if they're crying, then they can get water straight from their eyes!]]
-->'''Grandpa Yumatara''': (''applauds, evidently humouring him'') That is so very brilliant of you, sire!
-->'''Ayame''': He's ''bananas.''
* MagicalFlutist: She plays a flute as her taunt, in fitting with both her ninja and street performer identities. As revealed in the anime episode "Danger Cruise", she is also skilled at playing the ''[[HarpOfFemininity Koto]]''.
* MaybeEverAfter: In the anime. Ayame continues travelling Moon Land as an entertainer with her family, [[VictoryIsBoring but soon gets bored.]] She gets the idea for their troupe to tour the world again after seeing a passing stranger who looks like Falcon, hoping to start in Sun Land so she can meet him again.
* MobileShrubbery: In the anime, Ayame is shown to have a [[Anime/{{Naruto}} Konohomaru]]-like sheet that she can quickly camouflage to look like a nearby wall and hide behind as a getaway.
* {{Ninja}}: A ''Kunoichi'', to be precise.
** HighlyVisibleNinja: Debatable if, with her masquerade as a street performer and the fact she uses a number of disguises in the anime, she's this or actually a more accurate version of a ninja. Less debatable is her Power Charge, which involves her transforming into a brightly-colored rabbit-like form that can pull giant shuriken out from thin air and produce giant flowery explosions.
* NinjaBrat: Ayame's only 16 years old (or 14 years old in the anime), but already a highly-skilled ninja in a similar vein to say, [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Yuffie Kisaragi]] or [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Ibuki]]. Also much like them, she's feisty, tomboyish and oftentimes snarky, but is just as good at backing it up.
* NinjaLog: Ayame's unlockable item, the Decoy Bomb, functions a lot like this. It's one of her ninja dolls that follows the player around if they touch it -- and if they take a hit whilst it's active, they warp out of the way and an explosive decoy is left in their place as a counterattack.
* ParasolOfPrettiness: Her other introduction involves her holding a traditional Japanese oil-paper umbrella, which she spins off to one side with her hands as she adapts a fighting stance.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Or rather, kicks. Her mid-air throw in the first game involves her rapidly curbstomping her foe in the air before spiking them downward with a dive-kick.
* RedBaron: The Cherry Blossom Dancer.
* SheFu: Naturally for a ''Kunoichi'' and acrobat, Ayame's fighting style involves a lot of flips, somersaults, and other such gymnastic manoeuvres. They include a DoubleJump, a cartwheel as her dash attack, rolling through an opponent's legs and onto her hands to horse-kick them, and her ''Cherry Blossom Dance'' Power Fusion -- in which she quickly flips and swings all around her opponent to land several acrobatic throws, punches and kicks, before throwing them upward with a somersaulting kick and spearing them out of mid-air with several kunai.
* SignatureHeadgear: Her hairdo is held together by a gold-coloured headband and traditional Japanese hairpins.
* StockNinjaWeaponry: Especially in her Power Change mode, where she predominantly attacks by throwing [[BladeSpam volleys of giant shuriken and kunai]], as well as [[FlashStep teleporting short distances to set up or dodge attacks]]. The anime shows her using more weapons, including a ''[[ChainPain Manrikigusari]]'', a ''[[RainOfArrows Hwacha]]'', a ''[[CoolSword Tanto]]'' knife, [[ThrowDownTheBomblet cherry bombs,]] [[KnockoutGas sleeping gas,]] and a [[HooksAndCrooks cat claw-like grappling hook on a chain]] that she keeps inside one of her sleeves.
* StreetPerformer: [[SecretIdentity Masquerades as one]] with a travelling troupe in order to keep her ninja identity a secret, but it's evident that [[CircusBrat she also legitimately enjoys performing]].
* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:In "Destiny Hill", Ayame -- in her Power Change form -- protects Apollus and Pride from the full brunt of a Dark Stone-powered KamehameHadouken from the transformed Valgas by throwing herself between them. Downplayed in that she's only BroughtDownToNormal and knocked unconscious, but it's also clear that had Ayame not been transformed, the blast would have killed her.]]
* TechnicolorNinjas: Along with Ayame's regular ''yukata'' and ribbons being brightly coloured, her Power Change form's bright pink bunny ninja garb fits this to a tee. Which, of course, is lampshaded in the anime:
-->'''Pus''': [[ARareSentence Falcon's father got away when we were attacked by a pink bunny!]]
* ThirdPersonPerson: One of her possible lines in her introductions:
-->'''Ayame:''' Ayame sanjo! (''Ayame's here!'')
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Ayame can definitely be described as this. On the one hand, she's a tough and highly-skilled ''kunoichi'' who evidently enjoys her battles -- and on the other, she's often associated with flowers ([[CherryBlossomGirl especially cherry blossoms]]) and wears a bright pink bunny-like outfit in her Power Change form.
* {{Tsundere}}: Is a bit of one in the anime. Ayame tends to be ''very'' sweet around Edward and [[EveryoneCanSeeIt has a highly obvious crush]] on him, [[CannotSpitItOut but she'd never admit it if you were to directly ask her.]] Even when she makes (what she thinks) is a DyingDeclarationOfLove which everyone hears, [[BadLiar she]] ''[[BadLiar still]]'' [[BadLiar denies it!]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: In the tie-in manga, she's shown to be very fond of [[SweetTooth lollipops]].
* VSign: Gives a playful one as part of one her win poses.
* WeatherManipulation: Ayame's Power Change form can do this in the anime with her ''Come Down Rain'' technique; spinning her FuumaShuriken above her head with one hand to alter the weather around her.
* WingedHumanoid: Although not literally like Mel or Galuda, the giant shuriken she carries on her back and the long ear-like things on her head in her Power Charge form give her a passing resemblance to a butterfly.

[[folder:Wang-Tang]]
[[quoteright:305:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/WangTang_5637.png]]
[[caption-width-right:305:[[BruceLeeClone The Agile Dragon]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Sayaka Aida (''games''), Creator/MegumiOgata (''anime''), Creator/PeterOldring (''English dub anime'')
-> '''Appears in:''' ''Power Stone'', ''Power Stone 2'', ''Power Stone Collection''.

-> ''"Your strength doesn't come from your stomach!"''

-> Wang-Tang is a 19-year-old master martial artist from the town of Tong-An. He follows his master's instructions for his final test -- to attain the ''"legendary stones that shine like no other jewels in the world"''. Roaming the world in search of the Power Stones, and testing his skills along the way, Wang-Tang's optimistic, slightly dopey personality belies his deadly martial art skills.

-> In the sequel, as Wang-Tang is training alone in the mountains for an upcoming final trial set by his master, an enormous shadow appears in the sky -- and to his surprise, a floating castle appears and beckons before him. Wondering whether this was the trial set by his master, Wang-Tang feels a sharp tension as he enters the castle, and vows to complete his training and become a true master.
----
* AdaptationalIntelligence: In the anime, Wang-Tang is this compared to his much hammier IdiotHero game self. He's not only smarter (able to defeat Falcon in a fight and complete a quest to find a rare eagle's egg using his wits, and showing plenty of knowledge of surviving in the wild) but he's also more humble and quiet.
* AnimalMotifs: In fitting with his background in Chinese-style martial arts, he's associated a lot with dragons.
* BigEater: As shown in his transformed VictoryPose in ''Power Stone 2'', where instead of taunting, he sits down and eats Chinese steamed buns -- one in each hand, no less. It's also evident in some of his dialogue:
-->'''Wang-Tang:''' Hara ni chikara ga haite ne zo! (''Your strength doesn't come from your stomach!'')
-->'''Wang-Tang:''' Haraheppa! (''I'm starving!'')
-->'''Wang-Tang:''' U~me! (''I'm hungry!'')
* BlowYouAway: Wang-Tang's ''Ryuu Taifuu'' (Dragon Wearing Wind) Power Fusion from the first game works like this-- allowing him to perform a powerful ''[[Franchise/StreetFighter Tatsumaki]]''-esque spinning kick on the spot that generates a large whirlwind where he is, sucking opponents in and dealing multiple hits if they get too close.
* BruceLeeClone: Although a more subtle example than most, a certain amount of influence from Bruce Lee can definitely be seen with Wang-Tang. Most notably -- him hailing from the very Hong Kong-esque land of Tong-An, his {{Kiai}} as he attacks, the affinity for kicks and Chinese-style martial artistry, and him performing the classic [[FingerPokeOfDoom one-inch punch]] as part of his throw.
* CallingYourAttacks: This comes with the territory when your Power Change is based on a [[Anime/DragonBallZ Super Saiyan!]]
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: As seen in the anime, he has such insane balance and coordination that he's capable of hopping up tall flights of stairs on a unicycle as part of his meal deliveries. Whilst carrying loads of stacked bowls of soup on his head, and on both shoulders and arms. And '' without spilling a single drop''.
* ChefOfIron: His usual profession besides being a martial-artist is a chef. Although it does not show up so much in the games -- especially when compared to Gourmand -- it's much more evident in the anime and manga adaptations.
* CrossDressingVoices: He's voiced by women in both the games and the Japanese dub of the anime. Averted in the English dub.
* {{Expy}}: His Power Change form looks like a Super Saiyan from ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. He even has similar attacks.
** Character-wise, he's a lot like Son Goku in particular -- a dedicated and very powerful but somewhat-naïve martial artist with a ''massive'' appetite and a preference for qi/ki-based abilities. He even shares the trait of having CrossDressingVoices! Not to mention like the [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest original figure]] that Son Goku is ''both named after and inspired by'', Wang Tang compared to him has more ties to Chinese roots.
* FragileSpeedster: He's not quite as fast as say, Ayame or Accel, but he has stronger defense to make up for it.
* GratuitousEnglish: Unlike the other characters, Wang-Tang tends to use more English words in his dialogue. Examples include "Lucky!"/"Okay!" when he gets an item, "YAHOO!" in one of his introductions, "Thank you!" when he's revived, and "Immortal!" when he wins.
* HotBlooded: He's especially shown to be this when he transforms, calling out to his opponents to fight and yelling the names of his attacks at the top of his lungs.
-->'''Wang-Tang:''' Oya wa tsuyoi! (''I'm stronger!'')
-->'''Wang-Tang:''' Makenai ze! (''I won't lose!'')
-->'''Wang-Tang:''' Shoubu da! (''Let's fight/battle!'')
* HurricaneKick: Wang-Tang's ''Ryuu Taifuu'' (Dragon Wearing Wind) Power Fusion is [[BlowYouAway a literal example]].
* IdiotHero: While it's not to the point that [[TooDumbToLive by all rights he shouldn't be breathing]], he does still think that the legendary treasure his master wanted was ''a pair of golden dentures''.
* KamehameHadouken: Uses the Kamehameha-like bursts of qi/ki called the ''Ryuugadan'' (Dragon Fang Bullet) as his standard projectile move in his Power Change, can use a [[Anime/DragonBallZ Spirit Bomb]]-like orb of the stuff for his ''Dairyuudama'' (Big Dragon Orb) Power Fusion, and in the second game only, uses a dragon-shaped vertical burst to finish off his ''Buten Ryuujinkyaku'' (Martial Heaven Dragon Array Leg) Power Fusion.
* KiManipulation: As a [[Anime/DragonBallZ Super Saiyan]] expy in his Power Change mode, he's got plenty of these.
* LargeHam: In the games. You can tell he's one of these right from the moment he enters with a loud ''"YAAAAAHOOOOOOOO!"''.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: One of his throws in the first game involve him striking his opponent with a fast series of jabs, before knocking them backwards with a Bruce Lee-style [[FingerPokeOfDoom one-inch punch]].
* SpeedBlitz: One of his Power Fusions. ''Butenryuubu'' (Martial Heaven Flowing Dance) where he flip kicks his target after dashing into them ([[DeathOrGloryAttack unless he misses]]) before zipping from several directions into them with flying kicks in midair -- Chinese characters popping up at the end and all.
** In the second game however, he instead gains a new similar move called ''Buten Ryuujinkyaku'' (Martial Heaven Dragon Array Leg) where while similar, he instead zips from several directions with the flying kicks in a set area around himself while progressively going higher to drag any nearby targets in, then finishing with an upward rising kick whilst covered in a dragon qi/ki-shaped blast aura. [[DevelopersForesight This version was to accommodate for the multiplayer nature of the second game overall, since the original version would only work on a single target]].
* SupremeChef: Is shown to be this in the anime, where everyone enjoys his cooking. As his sensei states, Wang-Tang also applies what he knows to his fighting style: "calmness, patience, and knowing exactly when to add things to the mix".
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He loves Chinese steamed buns. In the anime, he's also very big on Octopus soup.
* RedBaron: The Agile Dragon.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Unbeknownst to him, the legendary treasure that his master has sent him out to find is his own power as a martial-arts master.
* WallRun: Wang-Tang does this as part of his wall attacks in both games -- he quickly runs up it, backflips off after going up a short distance, and dive-kicks toward his opponent on the way down.

[[caption-width-right:278: The Scorching Beauty]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/SakikoTamagawa (''games''), Ryōko Nagata (''anime''), Creator/StaceyDePass (''English dub anime'')
-> '''Appears in:''' ''Power Stone'', ''Power Stone 2'', ''Power Stone Collection''.

-> ''"I'll play with you... another time!"''

-> Rouge is a 23-year-old wandering fortune teller from the Middle-Eastern land of Mahdad, who uses a free-flowing fighting style [[DanceBattler based predominantly around dance]]. She also has the uncanny ability to [[PlayingWithFire wield fire as naturally as her own arms and legs]], making her both beautiful and deadly. Guided by her crystal ball, this mysterious and graceful young woman dances her way across the world as she searches for the Power Stones -- hoping to use them to bring happiness to all the people of the world.

-> In the sequel, she gets involved in the events of the game when one day, [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm her crystal ball cracks from sensing the presence of an enormous black shadow in the sky]]. Rouge receives an ominous feeling from the event -- and more than anything, can't stand having her occupational tools broken -- so she goes into deep meditation, and makes a wish upon the Power Stone to send her to the source of the shadow. When she comes to, Rouge finds herself within the mysterious Floating Castle she had previously only heard about in rumours, and senses an evil presence lurking in its depths.
----
* AdaptationalWimp: To a degree in the anime adaptation -- although she does still fight, she only ever gets to do it in her Power Change form rather than as herself.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Much like Falcon, she has this on both ends in the anime adaptation. On the giving end, she isn't really interested in Falcon's hopeless crush on her -- but on the receiving end, she loves Ryoma, but he's unable to follow up on it [[ChasteHero due to his duty as a samurai coming first]].
* ArabianNightsDays: Needless to say, her outfit and magic carpet are pretty much straight out of ''One Thousand And One Nights''.
* AttackReflector: The Crystal Ball, her unlockable item in ''Power Stone Collection''. When someone touches it, it floats around them for a short while and casts a protective spell upon being hit with a projectile, sending them back toward whoever fired them. However, it cannot protect from melee attacks.
* AwesomeMomentOfCrowning: At the end of the anime series, Rouge becomes the new Oracle of Fire Land, having previously proven herself worthy by foiling a previous greedy fake one from scamming Mahdad.
* BedlahBabe: Hails from the evidently very Middle Eastern-inspired land of Mahdad, and wears a midriff-baring belly dancer outfit to show off her large breasts.
* BittersweetEnding: In the anime. Rouge follows in her adoptive mother's footsteps to become the new Oracle of Fire Land, after proving her skills by exposing a plot from a previous fake Seer to scam Mahdad's citizens out of their treasure. However, because of [[ChasteHero his duty as a samurai]] coming above all else including love, [[DidNotGetTheGuy she cannot be with Ryoma.]]
* CrystalBall: According to her backstory, she uses one of these to see into the future -- in fact, it getting damaged from the dark power coming from the Floating Castle is one of her motivations to fight in ''Power Stone 2'', leading her to warp up to the power's source to put a stop to it herself.
* DanceBattler: Given that she's a SultryBellyDancer, her fighting style revolves predominantly around using various flowing, acrobatic dance-influenced moves to attack with.
* DubNameChange: In the European versions of the games, she and her Power Change are known as the ''Searing Beauty''.
* ElementalAbsorption: As seen in the anime, she can absorb nearby fire and heat into her body in her Power Change form, which can she can use to add to her own powers or make burning areas safe.
* EnergyBall: A sun-like orb of flame hovers around Rouge when she's in her Power Change form -- transforming into a giant stone head that shoots fireballs when she uses her ''Summon Giant'' Power Fusion, and being spiked into the ground to produce a huge explosion of flames around her with her ''Fiery Trap''.
* {{Expy}}: Although it isn't immediately obvious, Rouge shares several of her moves with fellow Middle Eastern dancer [[http://streetfighter.wikia.com/wiki/Pullum_Purna Pullum Purna]] from the ''VideoGame/StreetFighterEX'' series -- most notably, her '''Purim Kick''' (combo-ender with a kick) and '''Drill Purrus''' (pole attack).
* FortuneTeller: According to her backstory, she's quite an accomplished one. It's more immediately obvious in the anime, with her crystal ball turning out to have a Power Stone inside of it, and often using it to foretell visions of the near future.
* FragileSpeedster: Much like Wang Tang, she's one of these -- albeit slightly slower and more powerful than the likes of Ayame and Accel thanks to her pyrokinetic abilities.
* IdenticalStranger: A plot point in the anime is how much she looks like Jack's long-deceased mother. This is brought up and used a few times by the group to convince the bandaged man to speak to them.
* MagicCarpet: She sits on and drops down to the arena from one in one of her intros. She can also use it as part of her attacks when transformed in the first game, where she can swoop down on it from the air, or using it to keep the opponent trapped by spinning around them zoetrope-style in her ''Secret Heaven'' Power Fusion.
* MeaningfulName: Her name means ''Red'' in French, a colour often associated with fire and heat, as well as jeweller's rouge.
* MsFanservice: Definitely! Slender frame, large breasts, Middle Eastern-style heritage and appearance, sensual voice and dance-based fighting style, a midriff-baring outfit that leaves little to the imagination -- she's got it going on in all the right places. It even tells you right in her alias -- ''"the Scorching Beauty"''.
** This is PlayedForLaughs in [[http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/dc/a/pstonerou.htm her ending]]. When she's telling fortunes at her World's Fair exhibition in Paris, some of her customers make a wish to see her naked. [[PowerPerversionPotential The Power Stone]] [[FanService proceeds to do just that]], forcing Rouge to jump in front of the illusion in embarrassment to cover it.
-->'''Rouge:''' Ahh! How could you make such a wish?! Shame on you!
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: As a fortune teller, her visions come across this way through her crystal ball, and later her Power Stone.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Although she mostly tends to be very smart and mature in the anime, she has a hidden silly side and likes to jokingly flirt with Ryoma to get him to break his stoic facade.
* PlayingWithFire: She's associated with fire in both her forms, so of course her Power Charge predominantly involves using it to scorch opponents senseless -- including breathing fire, adding it to her punches and kicks, and even summoning a giant stone head to launch fireballs at opponents with.
* RedBaron: The Scorching Beauty.
* {{Stripperific}}: Rouge's Power Change form literally shows as much skin as they could possibly get away with given the rating. All she wears in this form are transparent harem pants with a heart-shaped thong underneath, and gold pasties.
* SheFu: Fittingly, her fighting style is almost entirely based around dance and acrobatics.
* SignatureHeadgear: Along with her headdress, her very long braided ponytail has one of these at the end of it. In the original artwork, it's a simple gold ring -- but in the games themselves, it's heart-shaped.
* StuffBlowingUp: Her ''Fiery Trap'' Power Fusion in both games -- where she increases her fire orb's size and spikes it straight into the ground, causing it to explode into flames that spread around her in a ring-shaped pattern.
%%* SultryBellyDancer
* TheTease: She enjoys flirting with her love interest Ryoma in the anime both jokingly and seriously, particularly in how flustered the normally-stoic samurai gets.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Interestingly for a fire-based character, her default outfit predominantly consists of cool blues and purples -- bringing to mind both this trope, [[ShownTheirWork and the colour of a particularly intense flame.]]
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: A non-related version of this becomes a plot point in the anime, with Rouge bearing a close resemblance to Jack's mother. The fact she also has a Power Stone like she did, as well as humming the same lullaby at various points that she is heavily implied to have sang to him as a child, further fascinates the bandaged man to her, which she and the group use to reason with him when he goes on a rampage.
* {{Underboobs}}: Her transformed appearance has concentric gold pasties covering her breasts, and nothing else. She also had this going on in [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/powerstone/images/1/16/RougeConceptB.png/revision/latest?cb=20150119163314 one of her original designs,]] [[WhatCouldHaveBeen but it was left unused.]]
* WaistcoatOfStyle: Wears an Arabian-style sleeveless jacket as part of her belly-dancing attire.

[[folder:Ryoma]]
[[quoteright:279:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ryoma_9689.png]]
[[caption-width-right:279:[[{{Samurai}} The Master Swordsman]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Atsushi Tanaka (''games''), Creator/MitsuoIwata (''anime''), Creator/EdwardGlen (''English dub anime'')
-> '''Appears in:''' ''Power Stone'', ''Power Stone 2'', ''Power Stone Collection''.

-> ''""Are you standing in my way?"''

-> A 19-year-old ''{{ronin}}'' from the small island nation of Mutsu. A swordfighting prodigy, Ryoma became disillusioned with life on his island when he ran out of strong opponents that could compete with him, and began longing to see the wide world with his own eyes -- meeting and testing his skills against fighters of all styles along the way. With this -- and having heard the news about many powerful fighters searching for the Power Stones -- he got into his trusty rowing boat and began to travel the world, wanting to test himself by seeing how far he can go with only one sword.

-> In the sequel, it is revealed that Ryoma came across a legendary sword on his previous travels -- the ''Tosa Arashi'' (土佐嵐), said to be stronger and sharper than any other. One night, whilst admiring the moonlight reflecting upon its blade, a strange light bounces off the sword's edge and shines onto the huge shadow of a floating castle that appeared in the clouds. Suddenly, Ryoma finds himself being lifted into the sky -- quickly realising that his new sword is guiding him to a source of great evil. Intrigued by this, he resolves to use the opportunity to test his skill against both it and the stronger opponents he hopes to find there.
----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: According to his ''Power Stone 2'' bio, his ''Tosa Arashi'' sword is said to be strong and sharp enough to cut through iron as easily as tofu (or butter, depending on the version).
* AndTheAdventureContinues: He comes across a Power Stone in his ending, but since he was actually looking for strong opponents to fight on his journey rather than actively searching for it, he decides to [[NoMacGuffinNoWinner destroy it to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands]]. With that, he reflects on his journey, stating that "the World is vast and infinite", and proceeds to embark on a new adventure.
* AnimalMotifs: In his Power Change form, his armour takes a lot of cues from the [[JapaneseBeetleBrothers Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle]] with its large horn-like helmet and ridged, segmented plating.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Although he is shown to be predominantly Japanese([[IstanbulNotConstantinople ish]]), Ryoma's ethnicity is unclear due to his skin being noticeably browner than the rest of the cast. Justified, since he hails from one of the outlying islands rather than the mainland.
* BerserkButton: In the anime, he ''hates'' having his challenges ignored or passed up on. This becomes a RunningGag early on when he keeps attempting to arrange a duel with Falcon, with limited success.
* BladeSpam: His ''Midare Zantou'' (Disordered Remnant Blades) Power Fusion. When performing it, Ryoma floats in place and slashes all around him whilst surrounded by a golden aura, producing many glowing crescent-shaped beams that spread out around him and hit multiple times.
* BloodKnight: Another more heroic take on the trope than usual. Ryoma is definitely this just on the basis that he doesn't care at all about finding the legendary Power Stones -- mostly for exploring the world beyond his island, but also for finding and challenging as many strong opponents as he can.
* BlowYouAway: His ''Tenchi Ryoudan'' (Heaven & Earth Bisection) Power Fusion. With it, Ryoma spins through the air with his sword at incredible speed, slashing through and trapping anyone who comes into contact with them before slamming them into the ground to create a multi-hitting energy cyclone.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: If his original bio and ending are anything to go by, he's apparently capable of single-handedly rowing across entire ''oceans'' in his wooden rowing boat.
* ChasteHero: In the anime, at least -- where he has an evident crush on Rouge, but does not allow himself to follow it due to his profession and duty as a samurai coming above all else.
* TheComicallySerious: In both adaptations, Ryoma fits this to a tee. He tries so hard to follow the code of the samurai to the letter, but he's still just as susceptible to the hi-jinx as everyone else.
* CoolSword: His katana, the ''Tosa Arashi'' (土佐嵐, Land Aid Tempest).
* DualWielding: Actually averted, for the most part. Although he carries a second sword around with him, he only really uses it as part of his individual stronger attacks -- leaving it sheathed at all times otherwise, or whenever he uses the midair version of his Raijinken in Power Change mode. He ''does'' fight with both swords much more frequently in the anime, however.
* DubNameChange: In the games and the Japanese version of the anime, his name is pronounced as "ree-oh-mah", but in the English dub, it's pronounced "RYE-oh-mah".
* DetectEvil: The sword he wields in ''Power Stone 2'' has this ability -- given that it senses the presence of the Floating Castle, and guides Ryoma to the evil lurking within for the purpose of destroying it.
* {{Expy}}: His Power Change form looks like the [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Silver Samurai]], and the Japanese-named sword techniques used in his Power Change form -- especially the ''[[ShockAndAwe Raijinken]]'' and ''[[BlowYouAway Tenchi Ryoudan]]'' -- are highly reminiscent of the LaserBlade-based ones of [[VideoGame/MegaManX Zero]].
* EmpathicWeapon: Ryoma's ''Tosa Arashi'' katana is what guides him to the floating castle in the sequel; on the basis of there not only being strong opponents there for him to test his skills against, but also [[DetectEvil a source of great evil lurking inside to destroy]].
* EyesAlwaysShut: Or one eye, at least. In the anime, he often has both eyes narrowed, ala [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Brock]].
* GlassCannon: His sword attacks are powerful and have good range, but leave him open if they miss. He's also one of the weakest characters when it comes to throwing and using heavy items.
* JapaneseBeetleBrothers: His Master Swordsman form's helmet has a long horn on it that gives him a passing resemblance to a Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: He constantly wields a classic samurai katana, making him one of only three characters in the original game -- and one of six in ''Power Stone 2'', along with Jack, Mel, Accel, Julia and Gourmand -- to constantly wield a weapon. Interestingly, it appears to function like a Bastard Sword, given that he can swing it effectively with both one or two hands.
* MasterSwordsman: It's even his official title.
* MrFanservice: Shares this role along with Falcon in the anime. There are several scenes with him [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]] and showing off his impressive abs. There's even an extended bit in "Red Moon" where he goes swimming in nothing but a {{fundoshi}}.
* NotSoStoic: He tries so hard to follow the stoicism that comes with being a Master Samurai to its fullest, but the façade tends to crack when he's around Rouge or [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes spiders]].
* RedBaron: The Master Swordsman.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Falcon's red in the anime. He's a [[TheComicallySerious comically-serious]] [[TheStoic stoic]], whilst Falcon's a HotBlooded JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* TheRival: He's this to Falcon for most of the anime adaptation.
* {{Ronin}}: In most depictions, he is a samurai, but has no evident master. Averted in the anime and the European version of his introduction, in which he does -- and is accordingly tasked by his master to particularly focus on battling opponents who also have Power Stones whilst on his travels.
* {{Samurai}}: The classic "wandering swordsman" take on the archetype. In his Power Change mode, he becomes fully clad in gleaming silver samurai armour with a colour scheme similar to that of the Japanese flag.
* SamuraiPonytail: In fitting with his profession, his hair is done up this way.
* SingleStrokeBattle: His ''Raizan'' AKA ''Iaizan'' (Re-sheath Slash) attack in Power Change form. Ryoma stands still with his sword sheathed but at the ready for about a second -- and then he draws and slashes forward at immense speed to cause huge damage.
* ShockAndAwe: In his Power Change form, Ryoma is capable of projecting powerful bursts of lightning from his sword. His most iconic attack is the Raijinken (Thunder Blade Sword).
** The ''Amenomurakumo'' -- his unlockable item from ''Power Stone Collection'' -- also does this. When equipped, it allows the player to [[SwordPlant stab the sword into the ground]] to generate lightning pillars outward from them in randomly-decided + or X-shaped patterns, much like [[VideoGame/MegaManX4 Zero's]] ''[[VideoGame/MegaManX4 Rakuhouha ]]'' attack.
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: Ryoma's stage, Mutsu, in the first game is a downplayed example. It takes place outside of a dojo in his mountainous hometown -- which is covered in a blanket of snow and has a frozen stream in the middle of it -- but neither affect the players' traction.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: As expected, as with most Japanese names, his name actually has an extended vowel; his is on the "o" portion, which can be written more accurately as "Ryouma".
* WanderingTheEarth: Originally, he was a warrior from an island nation who soon ran out of worthy opponents who could compete with his skill -- so he sets out on a journey in his trusty rowing boat, in order to explore the world and seek out more and tougher opponents to fight.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: As revealed in the anime, Ryoma has a crippling fear of spiders. In humorous contrast to his usual stoicism, he flies into an utter panic if one ends up on him; often to the point of running around blindly and throwing his clothes off.
* WreckedWeapon: In his Continue/Game Over animations in both ''Power Stone'' games, Ryoma swings his katana hard against the ground in anger and ends up snapping it in two, [[TruthInTelevision much like real swords do when they hit something hard enough with sufficient force.]]
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Although Ryoma looks more like he's in his mid-to-late 20s, he's actually only 19.

[[folder:Gunrock]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Gunrock3_565.png]]

-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/YosukeAkimoto (''games''), Creator/KiyoyukiYanada (''anime''), Damon [=D'Oliveira=] (''English dub anime'')
-> '''Appears in:''' ''Power Stone'', ''Power Stone 2'', ''Power Stone Collection''.

-> ''"Don't forget to pay me after you've lost!"''

-> A 38-year-old miner from the town of Dawnvolta who relies on his solid brute strength and a fighting style of bar-brawling to get through. Although he's imposing, boisterous, and enjoys his beer, gambling, and treasure -- he's also an easy-going father of five with a generous heart and nerves of steel. After hearing about the legendary Power Stones from a friend whilst working in the mines, Gunrock sets out on his own ''"get-rich-quick"'' quest to find them.

-> In the second game, Gunrock has been living peacefully, but eventually gets bored of his regular nights of gambling and booze-ups with his friends, and starts longing for adventure and treasure-hunting again. He regains his motivation after obtaining information about a mysterious floating castle said to contain an ultimate treasure that no one has ever seen -- and when he sees the castle appear atop a nearby mountain, he builds his own enormous cannon and launches himself there to find it.
----
* BoisterousBruiser: He’s always up for a good fight.
* DishingOutDirt: In his Power Change form.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He’s boisterous, imposing and has a bit of a gambling problem, but he’s a easy-going and generous guy, and a good father to his kids.
* {{Golem}}: His Power Change form. [[{{Expy}} It even looks very similar]] to the Golems from VideoGame/DragonQuest.
* MightyGlacier: The biggest and slowest character in both games, but definitely has the power and defence to make up for it.
* MundaneUtility: Uses the almighty [[MacGuffin Power Stone]] to cheat at cards, thus ensuring he never has to pay for drinks ever again.
* TheGambler: His main loves outside of fighting are shown to include gambling (Especially card games) and booze-ups with his mates. He even hosts a slot machine game on the VMU-exclusive mode in the original ''Power Stone''.
* RedBaron: The Heavy Tank.
* UnskilledButStrong: His main fighting style is bar-room brawling. Not the most elegant of fighting styles but with his strength, he gets the job done.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He has a poncho covering part of his chest though.

[[folder:Galuda]]
[[quoteright:265:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PSGaluda2_5678.png]]
[[caption-width-right:265:[[ProudWarriorRaceGuy The Proud Eagle]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/JurotaKosugi (''games''), Masafumi Kimura (''anime''), Creator/DenisAkiyama (''English dub anime'')
-> '''Appears in:''' ''Power Stone'', ''Power Stone 2'', ''Power Stone Collection''.

-> ''"It seems you're hurt."''

-> A 28-year-old Native American from the Western wilds of Dullstown. A bounty hunter by trade with experience as a shaman, Galuda appears rough and stoic on the surface, but is a compassionate individual with a tender heart and a tomahawk-sharp intellect -- revered as a hero in his home tribe. He embarks on a worldwide search for the Power Stones to save his village from a mysterious disease brought about by a one-handed man. Though he is by nature a MartialPacifist who abhors violence, he swears to find the man and bring him to justice by any means necessary for bringing sickness to his people.

-> In the sequel, it is revealed that he was successfully able to use the Power Stones to cure the disease plaguing his village -- most notably the Chief's daughter, whom he fell in love with and eventually married. Whilst on their honeymoon, they embark on a trip in the luxurious airship ''Royal Heaven'' -- where en-route, Galuda's wife sees an ominous cloud forming outside the window. The airship is caught in a violent storm, and both her and Galuda are thrown out of the broken windows -- when Galuda regains consciousness, he finds himself imprisoned inside an enormous floating castle. With his wife nowhere to be seen, he begins searching strenuously to save the love of his life.
----
* BraidsBeadsAndBuckSkins: Being a Native American in anime, this was kind of a given.
* HappilyMarried: To the Chief's daughter.
* RedBaron: The Proud Eagle.
* {{Expy}}: According to WordOfGod, he is based on the ''Manga/Cyborg009'' character Geronimo.
* GeniusBruiser: He’s a strong guy with bounty hunting experience, and also pretty smart with interest in medicine.
* InformedAbility: He is supposed to be a [[MagicalNativeAmerican Shaman]], but we never see him use anything related to that. Then again, [[LightningBruiser it's not like he needs it in battle.]]
** Though he is seen at least using the Power Stone for medical purposes in his ending.
* LightningBruiser: Not the fastest but still better than [[MightyGlacier Gunrock]].
* MagicalNativeAmerican: Most evident in Power Charge mode which lets him shoot magic arrows and grow wings.
* PowerGivesYouWings: He uses these when attacking in his Power Change mode.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Out of Power Charge, his chest is always bare. One wonders how he doesn’t get sunburnt.

[[folder:Jack]]
[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PSJack2_9502.png]]
[[caption-width-right:297:[[LaughingMad The Mad Clown]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/WataruTakagi (''anime and games''), Creator/JulieLemieux (''English dub anime'')
-> '''Appears in:''' ''Power Stone'', ''Power Stone 2'', ''Power Stone Collection''.

-> ''"The shining stones... '''I want!'''"''

-> A mysterious bandaged man of unknown age from the dark alleyways of Manches, Jack has no distinction of right and wrong. His only cares in life seem to be shiny, pretty things and slicing with his knives; often accosting women in the dead of night to steal their jewellery. One day, he overhears a tale about the Power Stone, said to be the most amazing, dazzling jewel in the world. Seeing an opportunity to pursue both his passions, Jack sets off to claim it for himself.

-> In the sequel, Jack's desire for more shiny treasures increased after obtaining the Power Stone. From his stone, he hears a voice telling him that there is a floating castle is filled with such beautiful treasures. Blinded by his own greed, Jack finds and happily lets himself be absorbed into the floating castle when it appears during a full moon -- unaware that it's merely an invitation from the darkness.
----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: As seen in the anime, his Mad Clown form's arm blades are strong and sharp enough to cleanly slice through boulders.
* AdaptationNameChange: In the anime, he has the additional full name of Jack Winslow.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: He has a particular fascination with shiny objects such as jewels, and enjoys stealing them. In fact, his entire motivation for fighting is given to be because Power Stones are shiny, he enjoys cutting things with his knives, and that's good enough for him.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: He really shouldn't be able to do all the things he does, but those bandages do a good job of hiding whether he's a different creature entirely, or if he really just ''that'' skilled at contorting himself.
* AxCrazy: Very much insane, and his only other loves aside from stealing? [[SerialKiller Murder]], madness, [[RuleOfThree and mutiliation]].
* BandagedFace: His whole body being bandaged gives him a similar appearance to an Egyptian Mummy.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Despite committing evil acts such as murder and robbery, he genuinely makes no distinction between good and evil; all that matters is attaining and admiring shiny jewellery.
* BodyHorror: It's heavily implied in the anime that the reason Jack wears his bandages are as a result of burn scars from the same massive ship fire that killed his family and drove him insane.
* ChainsawGood: His unlockable weapon, the Manches Chainsaw. It's a giant double-bladed chainsaw with enormous teeth that the wielder swings in a circular arc around themselves -- striking multiple times and doing lots of damage, at the cost of a short range and not being able to move for a long period while attacking.
* CompanionCube: Being a relic from his beloved and long-deceased family, Jack has a habit of referring to his Power Stone as "my lovely" in the anime -- and often talks to it and his "mama" like it's a living being, ala [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gollum and the One Ring]].
* ConfusionFu: Not only he is fast and quick to attack, but he crawls around like an insect and can glide through the air.
* CloudCuckooLander: Not the sanest individual around, to say the least.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: In the anime, Jack is over a hundred years old and the sole living descendant of the noble Winslow family after an enormous ship fire killed them all and horribly disfigured both his mind and body.
* EvilLaugh: Has a creepy distorted one as part of one of his introductions, and again as part of his victory dialogue.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: In the anime, Jack is predominantly motivated to find the Power Stone -- his one being a relic from his long-deceased noble family -- to make his "mama" happy. Much like with his Power Stone, he often holds conversations with himself, referring to his mother directly like she's there with him.
* ExorcistHead: To an extreme degree. Not only does he appear to be completely double-jointed going by how he crawls along the ground and can contort himself, he can even spin his upper torso around independently of the rest of himself -- allowing him to float slowly down like a helicopter.
* {{Expy}}: His tricky and unpredictable twin-blade-wielding fighting style combined with his mummy-like appearance, crawling like an insect and knack for contorting his body in impossible ways gives Jack more than a passing resemblance to [[VideoGame/SoulSeries Voldo]].
* FlechetteStorm: His ''Misery Rain'' Power Drive, which involves him summoning a barrage of energy knives to impale enemies.
* GigglingVillain: See EvilLaugh.
* InelegantBlubbering: When he's defeated and left abandoned on an iceberg with the frozen ruins of his ship in "Jack's Secret", he completely breaks down: sobbing, doubled over and howling loudly like a crying child. It's especially pitiable considering how [[BlueAndOrangeMorality in his own mind,]] he was just trying to protect his mother and her long-lost family heirloom after he'd found her.
-->'''Jack''': MAAAAAMMAAAAAAAAA!
* UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper: Is named after and is an expy of the infamous serial killer.
* MonsterClown: His Power Change form, the Mad Clown, is a bizarre hybrid of a mummy and one of these -- complete with a giant single eyeball in the middle of his head that resembles a clown's red nose.
* NotQuiteFlight: Can spin his upper torso around in mid-air to hover briefly and float slowly to the ground.
* PsychoKnifeNut: Jack [[DualWielding dual-wields]] a pair of scimitar-like daggers in combat.
* PsychopathicManchild: Despite all the horrific crimes he is implied to have carried out, he has a child-like obsession with shiny, pretty things and has no distinction between good, evil, right or wrong.
** In the anime, he's far less villainous and more of a CloudCuckoolander-esque {{Manchild}}, wanting to find his long-deceased mama's Power Stone to make her proud, much as a child would.
* RedBaron: The Mad Clown. As shown in his ending in the original ''Power Stone'' and the Item Book description for the Manches Chainsaw weapon in ''Power Stone 2'', Jack is also known as "Jack the Slayer" and "The Terror of Manches".
* Really700YearsOld: In the Anime, his age is given as being 100 years old at the very least; as well as being the last living descendent of the noble Winslow family.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Or rather, one red eye; the other being covered up by his bandages.
* SerialKiller: Although in source material, he seems to vary between being this and a thief -- accosting strangers so he can steal their shiny jewellery.
* SpectacularSpinning: His ''Killer Dance'' Power Drive, which involves him summoning two large blades and a circular glowing seal beneath him, before spinning upward like a helicopter to deal multiple hits.
* TragicVillain: Jack becomes one of these in the anime adaptation. While in the games, he's an AxCrazy thief obsessed with shiny objects, in the anime, he is more reminiscent of [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gollum]], and is obsessed with the Power Stone because it was an old family heirloom belonging to his long-deceased mother.
* XanatosGambit: His ending has him get caught right after getting the Power Stone. So everything's good, right? [[spoiler: Except it's a fake created by the Power Stone, and the real Jack is free to continue his crime spree whilst nobody suspects a thing.]]

[[folder:Kraken]]
[[quoteright:249:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/krakenpowerstone.png]]
[[caption-width-right:249:[[{{Pirate}} The Revived Pirate Captain]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakeshiAono (''game''), Kazuo Oka (''anime''), Creator/GeorgeBuza (''English dub anime'')
-> '''Appears in:''' ''Power Stone'', ''Power Stone Collection''.

-> ''"I'll make shark food out of you!"''

-> The penultimate opponent in the original game. Kraken is the captain of the flagship ''Skullhaven'', and the brutal and cunning leader of a widely hated-and-feared group of pirates known as "King Octopus". However, being the [[SoleSurvivor last survivor]] of his crew -- the rest of them having died over time in battle -- he hopes to find the Power Stone in order to revive his old crewmates and resume their reign of terror upon the high seas.
----
* AdaptationalWimp: In the anime adaptation. Although Kraken is the penultimate boss of the original game and as tough as you'd expect there -- he and his minions get bested pretty easily by Falcon in most of their encounters.
* AllThereInTheManual: It's heavily implied in their respective prologues that Kraken is the eponymous ''"one-handed man"'' who brought a mysterious plague to Galuda's village.
* AnimalMotifs: Not only does he have the obvious tie-in with KrakenAndLeviathan with his name, but when he transforms, his claw elongates and sharpens to resemble a crab's.
* BadassDecay: Happens in-universe after he loses his enslaved crew, Ayame swipes his Power Stone, and has his flagship blown up in "Get Kraken!". As revealed in the epilogue, he's left with only [[BumblingHenchmenDuo Octo and Pus]], and they unsuccessfully try to re-conquer Aqua Land... from a ''rowing boat''.
* BadBoss: In the anime, Kraken is shown to be this. Besides forcing most of his crew to be in it via slavery from conquering their homeland and being hinted to [[FedToTheBeast feed them to his giant octopus if they do not comply,]] he keeps all of the best food and spoils for himself whilst they are made to make do with meagre rations.
* BumblingHenchmenDuo: In the anime, his henchmen Octo and Pus.
* OldSoldier: Although his actual age is unknown, he's clearly a lot older than most of the cast -- yet still very much able to inflict all sorts of pain thanks to his long-time experience as a pirate.
* BedsheetGhost: Can summon swarms of skull-shaped ghosts to attack opponents with in his ''Skull Soul'' Power Fusion.
* CoolShip: His pirate ship, the ''Skullhaven''.
* DemBones: Becomes a skeleton in his Power Change form -- the Ghost Pirate.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He's initially built up to be the last boss of the first game -- complete with him being the last picture on the opponent window between matches in Story Mode -- but after he's beaten, Avalon Island is revealed, where you fight [[TrueFinalBoss Valgas]].
* TheDragon: Well, he is always the one you face before facing off against Valgas.
* TheDogBitesBack: How he meets his comeuppance in the anime. When Kraken loses his flagship and most of his crew, the wives and daughters of Aqua Land's fishermen that Kraken once enslaved for his crew [[NotAfraidOfYouAnymore send him running off for good by pelting him and the Octopus Twins with rocks.]]
* EatTheCamera: There's a bit in the English intro of the anime where the camera zooms into his mouth.
* EyeScream: His left eye is missing entirely.
* FacialHorror: Half his face -- [[EyepatchOfPower including his left eye]] -- is missing and replaced with a construct that resembles a metallic skull.
* FloatingLimbs: Gains these in his Ghost Pirate form, along with a powerful Flintlock Pistol that shoots giant bombs.
* GagNose: Has a massive, bright red one.
* {{Gonk}}: Definitely. Giant red nose, bulging eye, PermaStubble, missing teeth, half his face and an eye missing and reconstructed to look like a metal skull... he's got it going on in all the ''wrong'' places.
* GrapplingHookPistol: Kraken's mechanical claw functions as this for his ''Ghost Pirate'' form's default attack. It launches out to attack from a distance, but if it hits a wall or other obstacle at its full length, it pulls him over there very quickly.
* HavingABlast: Can launch explosive cannonballs from his Flintlock gun in Power Change mode, which are even more powerful than large bombs and can be fired rapidly enough to be a real threat.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Both of Kraken's final defeats in the anime are from [[ItsPersonal people he had directly harmed in the series.]] Ayame -- whose homeland he had subjected to a terrible drought and whom he then captured and tried to torture to death with a drill -- steals his Power Stone and blows up his ship with dynamite, and the wives and daughters of the fishermen -- whom he had enslaved for his crew after conquering Aqua Land -- force him (and his two remaining cronies) to retreat forever when he tries to come back.
* [[HookHand Mechanical Claw Hand]]: Which he can [[GrapplingHookPistol extend using an electrical tether]] in his Power Change Form to either pull opponents toward him from a distance, or grip onto a nearby wall to pull himself over very quickly and keep the pressure on.
* KrakenAndLeviathan: Besides the obvious connection to the mythical beast with his name, his pirate crew is named ''King Octopus'', and even has a giant octopus as a pet in the anime that he is said to feed prisoners to.
* MightyGlacier: He's slow, but has good defence -- and when he hits, he hits ''hard''.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Show of hands. Does a pirate named after a legendary beast such as [[KrakenAndLeviathan the kraken]] sound even ''vaguely'' friendly?
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Ghost Pirate Highwayman in his Power Change mode, to be precise.
* PermaStubble: Has this going on in his regular form, adding to his piratical look.
* {{Pirate}}: Was once a feared leader of a group of brigands known as ''King Octopus'', and wants to use the Power Stone to resurrect his old crewmates and continue his reign of terror on the high seas.
* PistolWhipping: When Kraken grabs his opponents, he'll club them repeatedly with his flintlock whilst they're trapped in his claw, before booting them away from him.
* ScaryTeeth: Most of his are missing.
* SecretCharacter: In the first game, Kraken is unlocked by beating the game with the other eight characters. In ''Power Stone Collection'', he can also be unlocked in ''Power Stone 2'' by beating the game as Falcon in 1 vs. 3 mode.
* SwissArmyWeapon: His claw can transform into different weapons for different purposes -- including [[ThisIsADrill a drill]] when he attacks from a wall or pole.
* RedBaron: The Ghost Pirate.
* VacuumMouth: His ''Phantom Feast'' Power Fusion involves his skull head turning huge and sucking opponents towards him with vacuum breath. It has a short range, but if he catches an opponent with it, he'll chew down on them multiple times and spit them out to deal massive damage.
* WakeUpCallBoss: He prioritises collecting the Power Stones -- much like Valgas immediately after him -- so expect to see him in Power Change mode often if you don't grab them as soon as possible before he does.

[[folder:Valgas]]
[[quoteright:249:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/valgaspowerstone.png]]
[[caption-width-right:249:[[BigBad The Hell's Army Leader]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Masashi Sugawara (''game''), Creator/AkioOtsuka (''anime''), Creator/TonyDaniels (''English dub anime'')
-> '''Appears in:''' ''Power Stone'', ''Power Stone Collection''.

-> ''"Weakling... '''you came one hundred years too soon!'''"''

-> The final opponent fought in the original game -- encountered on the uncharted Avalon Island in the Pacific Ocean. Surviving a brutal upbringing in an orphanage, Valgas is a [[SociopathicSoldier former soldier]] who later became a wrestler and known as the "World's Strongest Man" -- said to be strong enough to be able to defeat opponents without even physically touching them. He puts on a gentle façade for the media, but in reality, only cares for power -- and after hearing from his subordinates about the Power Stone (of which he owns a small piece) and its wish-granting capabilities, sets out to complete it so that he may wish for a world where [[SocialDarwinist only the strong can survive]].
----
* AlmightyIdiot: In his Final Valgas form, Valgas gains a lot of power, but loses his usual intelligence and ability to control said power -- as described in his ending.
* BadassBoast: In fitting with his stasis as both a wrestler and a LargeHam, Valgas is quite fond of doling these out:
-->'''Valgas:''' ''Shin no chikara wo miru ga ii!'' (YOU'LL BEHOLD MY TRUE POWER!)
-->'''Valgas:''' ''Ware fumetsu nari!'' (I'll become undying!)
* BigBad: Of the original ''Power Stone'' and the accompanying anime and manga based on it. He is nowhere to be seen in the sequel, so Doctor Erode takes over his role there.
* BodyHorror: His transformation into Final Valgas is shown in full in the anime. Valgas collapses to his knees, [[PainfulTransformation screaming in pain]] as as huge, disgusting boils form all over his body. Eventually, they cover him completely and the mass swells up to enormous size before melting into a giant, fleshy slug-like mass from which rock and crystal erupts out of its back and head.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower. He's said to be strong enough to be able to defeat most opponents with just the ''wind pressure'' from a missed punch or kick.
* EldritchAbomination: His Final Valgas form is a hideous slug-like creature with a glowing mouth and eyes that appears to be made half of melted flesh and half of broken rock and crystal. It's also shown to be dosed up on so much energy from the Power Stone that [[AlmightyIdiot Valgas can no longer control himself in this form]].
* EvilIsNotAToy: This becomes evident for Valgas in his ending. In it, he finds the final piece of a broken Power Stone that he had been seeking, and uses its magic to gain more power -- but he ends up being consumed by his greed and gets transformed into [[AlmightyIdiot an all-powerful but uncontrollable monster.]]
* EvilOrphan: In the anime, he is mentioned to have grown up as an orphan.
* ExtraOreDinary: Both of Valgas' transformations have this element. His Hell's Army Leader form is a demon composed of dark, jagged rock with crystalline horns and the Power Stone set inside its chest like a heart, and his Final Valgas form is half-made of cragged rock and crystal, and can attack by firing explosive stalagmites out of its back.
* FinalBoss: Of the original ''Power Stone''.
* GunsAreWorthless: He has a handgun on his belt, but is never seen using it. ZigZagged if he picks up another gun.
* {{Jerkass}}: Very condescending and dismissive of those he considers weaker than himself.
* LargeAndInCharge: Standing at 240cm (7'10") and weighing in at 160 kg (352 lbs), he's enormous -- and needless say, a very ''very'' tough final opponent.
* LargeHam: To the point where just about everything he says can be finished with an exclamation mark --
-->'''Valgas:''' (''as he shows off his Power Stone'') ''Watasan zo!'' (I WON'T GIVE THIS TO YOU!)
* {{Leitmotif}}: Valgas has his own unique [[https://youtu.be/fAQmB3WpuKo Power Fusion theme]] when you fight him as the FinalBoss. It's backed by [[ForDoomTheBellTolls sinister bells]] and ethereal singing, and the panicked pacing makes it "OhCrap" in music form.
* KamehameHadoken: His ''PS (Power Stone) Energy'' Power Drive and his ''PS Energy Maximum'' Power Fusion involves using ''massive'' beams of energy to attack with, which are difficult to avoid and do huge damage. The energy for them is generated from the Power Stone fused into his chest.
* OneWingedAngel: Turns into '''Final Valgas''' for his second battle.
* PowerCrystal: He usually wears the broken piece of the Power Stone that he has on a chain around his neck, and it fuses into his chest and acts as an energy source for his KamehameHadoken and ShockAndAwe attacks in his Hell's Army Leader form.
* RedBaron: The Hell's Army Leader.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Just in case you forget he's evil and all.
* SecretCharacter: In the first game, Valgas is unlocked by beating the game with Kraken -- his [[OneWingedAngel Final Valgas]] form can also be unlocked by beating the game as him afterward. In ''Power Stone Collection'', he can also be unlocked in ''Power Stone 2'' by beating the game with Kraken in 1 vs. 3 mode.
* ScaryTeeth: His are all notably very pointed and shark-like.
* ShadowArchetype: In the anime, he's what Falcon would've become if he had become a [[SocialDarwinist weak crushing]] [[MightMakesRight strength alone defining believer]] to cope with the same issues of being bullied as a youth.
* ShockAndAwe: His ''Meteor Chain'' Power Fusion involves him blasting the opponent with a huge spreading burst of lightning that is very difficult to avoid under most circumstances.
* ShoutOut: His name is a slight corruption of the word ''Vulgus'' -- a reference to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulgus the first video game that Capcom produced,]] back in 1984.
** His ''Dynamite Kick'' Power Drive also shares its name with one of [[FightingClown Hercule Satan's]] techniques from ''Anime/DragonBallZ''.
* SlasherSmile: Has an unnerving shark-like one.
* SNKBoss: In his default form, ''and how''. To elaborate, [[LightningBruiser Valgas is surprisingly mobile and hits ridiculously hard and fast in even his normal form]] -- to the point where most of his attacks can often stun you and knock ''both'' Power Stones out of you if you're carrying them -- and actively prioritises going after them, usually after getting you into a position where he can easily reach them before you do. Add that onto a SuperMode with very hard-to-avoid and even harder-hitting attacks -- all of which fall into the category of being either [[HomingProjectile homing]] or enormously-ranged -- high defence at all times, and the fact that the Power Stones ''always'' seem to end up very close to him, and... well, have fun.
** Ironically, he actually becomes considerably easier to defeat when he turns into [[ClippedWingAngel Final Valgas]], due to losing a lot of speed and being a much bigger target to hit, making him easy to tear through with projectile-based Power Fusions.
* SocialDarwinist: In the anime adaptation. After previously making a wish on the Dark Stone to never be weak again, his wish on the Power Stones was for the World to become an even more dangerous place -- where only the strong may survive.
* SociopathicSoldier: He's a former soldier who later became a wrestler, and is a noticeably smug and callous [[{{Jerkass}} jerkass]].
* SpikesOfVillainy: His Hell's Army Leader form is covered in rocky stalagmite-esque spikes, especially around his shoulders and wrists.
* TrueFinalBoss: Of the first game, only being revealed to be the main villain after [[DiscOneFinalBoss Kraken]] is defeated.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: In fitting with his basis as a wrestler, he wears no shirt. However, he ''does'' sometimes wear a red vest or robe in the Anime, so it's zig-zagged.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: In the game itself, Valgas is seen using a wrestling-style body slam as his mid-air attack, and a double powerbomb as his throw. In the anime and manga, he's actually known as a wrestling face and a very popular fighter in general-- and Edward Falcon is described as being a big fan of him [[BrokenPedestal before his true colours are revealed]].

!'''''Power Stone 2'''''

[[folder:Accel]]
[[quoteright:238:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/accelpowerstone.png]]
[[caption-width-right:238:[[{{Cowboy}} The Vagabond Gunman]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Currently unknown
-> '''Appears in:''' ''Power Stone 2'', ''Power Stone Collection''.

-> ''"Well... this is the end of the road."''

-> A cool, collected and cocky wandering gunslinger from the Old West, renowned for his high speed and skills with his twin revolvers. Accel ends up in the Floating Castle after being ambushed by a gang in a town of outlaws -- who tied him to a hot-air balloon and let him loose in the skies. After regaining consciousness, he finds himself inside the castle with a Power Stone in his hand. Upon realising its power, the masked gunman vows to escape and take his revenge -- on both the one who imprisoned him and the thugs who sent him there in the first place.
----
* AirplaneArms: In fitting with a guy whose fighting style revolves around his speed, he has these whenever he runs.
* ArmCannon: Wields a pair of revolver-like submachine guns on his hands in his Power Change mode that can either fire standard rapid-fire shots for his ''Beat Assault'' attack, but also more powerful homing bullets for his ''Crazy Revolver'' Power Drive.
* BadassBiker: Especially in his Power Change mode, where he can not only skate around with the wheels on his feet, but also transform into an enormous [[Franchise/StarWars Wheel Bike]]-like Buzzsaw to mow down opponents with.
* BadassBoast: Being evidently very confident in his skills, he has a few --
--> (Intro) Shobu ni naranai na! (''This fight's too easy to win!'')
--> (Intro against [[FinalBoss Doctor Erode]]) Ore to harigaoto yuno ka? (''You sure you want to fight me?'')
--> (Taunt) Koko nerai na! ''([[BringIt Aim right here!]])''
* BondOneLiner: And again --
--> Maa, konna tokoro da... (''Well, this is the end of the road...'')
--> Shikaku nashi da. (''You shouldn't have done that.'')
--> Atarimae daga na. (''Everyone knew what the outcome would be.'')
* CoolBike: The Thunderbolt Rider, Accel's unlockable weapon in ''Power Stone Collection''. It's a very quick horse-themed hoverbike, equipped with machine guns and outright stated to be his favourite vehicle.
* CoolMask: A red DominoMask, to be precise.
* {{Cowboy}}: He's the classic depiction of an Old-West gunslinger -- a Stetson-clad, dual revolver-wielding wanderer who's cool and collected, yet highly confident in his skills.
* DualWielding [=/=] GunsAkimbo: Although he carries a pair of revolvers with him in his human form, he rarely uses them -- only in his 2P/4P intros and win poses, and when jumping off a wall, pole, or off of an opponent's head. However, he does gain a cool-looking [[ArmCannon pair of submachine guns for hands]] as part of his Power Change, the ''Vagabond Gunman'', which he uses much more extensively.
* ExtremityExtremist: Besides [[GunFu when he uses his twin revolvers]], Accel mostly fights using acrobatic kicks.
* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: In his ''Power Stone 2'' artwork, he's seen giving a smug finger wag.
* GrudgingThankYou: When revived after being knocked out --
-->'''Accel''': Yokei na koto wa... (''I don't need your help...'')
* GunFu: On the rare occasions when he ''does'' use his revolvers, Accel is pretty acrobatic with them -- most notably when used as part of his stomp move, when he leaps off an opponent's shoulders in mid-air, flips upside down, and fires both guns straight down into said opponent.
* GuyLiner: If you look closely, you can see that Accel wears dark paint around his eyes -- a real-world practice among Old Western gunslingers to cut down on glare and help them aim better.
* MeaningfulName: The shortened form of "acceleration", in reference to his quick speed.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: In his Power Change mode, he turns into a Cowboy-Biker-Automobile-Robot with a BadassCape and revolver-like submachine guns for hands.
* TheGunslinger [=/=] WalkingTheEarth: As he mentions in his bio -- ''"Have gun, will travel"''.
* RedBaron: The Vagabond Gunman.
* {{Revenge}}: This is shown to be his main motivation [[AllThereInTheManual in his bio]]- he gets ambushed by a gang of heavies and tied to a hot air balloon, ending up in the Floating Castle as a result. Interestingly, it's the only backstory told entirely in First Person.
-->''"When I regained consciousness... I found myself here. They call me Accel -- have gun, will travel. I got ambushed by a rough 'n' tough bunch of guys in town. Actually, they tied me to a hot air balloon and let me loose in the skies. Boy, did they get the best of me. My blood is boiling, and my soul thirsts for justice. I have to get out of here. It's time they had a healthy helping of justice pie."''
* RollerbladeGood: In his Vagabond Gunman form, Accel gains a pair of wheels where the spurs on his boots used to be, allowing him to skate around the arena at high speed -- he even does it as he's escaping if you beat the game with him.
* RuggedScar: Has a rather noticeable one that takes up most of the left side of his face.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: In both forms, it almost takes on the appearance of a BadassCape.
* SecretCharacter: In ''Power Stone Collection'', he can be unlocked in the first ''Power Stone'' by beating the game with Gourmand.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Accel uses an enzuigiri as his pole-based throw.

[[folder:Julia Whitepearl]]
[[quoteright:245:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/juliapowerstone.png]]
[[caption-width-right:245:[[SplitPersonality The Serene Grace]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/FujikoTakimoto
-> '''Appears in:''' ''Power Stone 2'', ''Power Stone Collection''.

-> ''[[ApologeticAttacker "Are you feeling all right?"]]''

-> Julia is the only daughter of the prestigious Whitepearl family. Behind her tender, elegant grace hides [[SplitPersonality a wild alternate personality that even she herself is unaware of]]. Her parents had hoped that the power of their Power Stone -- passed down through the family from generation to generation -- could be used to keep this in check. But the radical side of Julia's split personality leads to her stealing the stone, and running away from home. When she snaps out of it, she finds herself in a bizarre Floating Castle -- and though still unsure of what has happened, vows to escape and return home.
----
* AmusementParkOfDoom: Her ''Merry-Go-Round'' Power Fusion is based around this -- in which she summons up a giant fairground carousel that can trap multiple opponents at once and knock them around constantly.
* ApologeticAttacker: She apologises politely in some of her win quotes, and when she uses another character as part of a combination attack --
-->'''Julia:''' Gomen nasai! (''I'm really sorry about this!'')
* CrucifiedHeroShot: Can inflict this on her opponents using her ''Slave of Love'' attack in her Power Change form-- she fires off a projectile that, if it hits an opponent, can temporarily tie them onto an X-shaped cross, leaving them open for her to attack.
* {{Dominatrix}}: Her Power Change mode, the Serene Grace, gives her a resemblance to one-- complete with fishnet tights, a leotard, tall boots, a DominoMask, and a deeper, more mischievous tone to her voice.
* GirlyRun: Unlike the other women in the series (besides [[PaletteSwap Mel]]), she runs in this manner-- which actually fits, considering she's evidently had the most formal upbringing of any of them.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's one of the more amicable and polite characters in the series, and has the classic blonde hair to match. Unlike most examples though, her [[PaletteSwap alternate colours]] allow her to change it to different colours, including brown and red.
* HighClassGloves: Wears a long pair of white opera gloves that go almost all the way up her arms.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Working hand-in-hand with her [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold blonde hair]], her big blue eyes give a real sense of innocence and gentleness -- yet at the same time, masking the other, wilder side to who she is.
* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: As seen above, her waist is ''tiny'' compared to her upper body. This could be explained as being part of her PimpedOutDress though, since her Power Change mode has somewhat more realistic proportions.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery[=/=]LadyOfWar: Her refined, formal appearance doesn't do a thing to stop her from throwing down with the rest of them.
* ParasolOfPain: Her parasol functions well not only as a nice accessory, keeping the rain/sun off and [[ParasolParachute gliding through the air]], but it's also pretty good for whacking people with.
* ParasolOfPrettiness: She always carries around her parasol with her, making her one of the few characters in the series to constantly wield a weapon -- and it gives her surprising versatility for how frail she initially looks in combat.
* ParasolParachute: [[RuleOfThree The parasol]] allows her to jump up to two more times in mid-air, and hover/glide to increase her jumping distance and precision. Of course, for gameplay reasons, she can't use it in the FreeFallFight segment of the Airship stage and she has to fight the other characters in getting one of the two parasol items to land safely on the next arena.
* PimpedOutDress: And ''how''- It covers her feet, has ribbons of red fabric looping the bottom, puffy sleeves, more red fabric on the top forming a sort-of waistcoat, frilled turtleneck and the hem has what appears to be lace trimming.
* ProperLady: She's the sole daughter of the prestigious Whitepearl family, and is definitely one of the most polite fighters in the franchise -- clapping politely for one of her victory animations, and apologising to and thanking opponents even in the middle of fights--
-->'''Julia:''' (after being revived) Tasukari mashita! (''I'm very grateful!'')
-->'''Julia:''' Onegai shimasu! (''I am pleased to meet you!'')
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: She wears a pair of white leggings underneath her dress, which helps with preventing any unnecessary wardrobe-malfunctions whilst fighting in an enormous dress.
* RedBaron: The Serene Grace.
* MagicSkirt: Her dress works like this to avoid any [[PantyShot accidental exposure]] -- on top of wearing white tights already, her feet and legs are visible underneath it, but nothing else.
* RummageSaleReject: Man, look at her Power Change mode. They weren't kidding when they said that Julia had a wild personality.
* SecretCharacter: In ''Power Stone Collection'', she can be unlocked in the first ''Power Stone'' by beating the game with Pete.
* SplitPersonality: Most of the time, she's a very gentle and graceful lady. However, she also has a wild personality that even she is unaware of -- which is reflected in her Power Change mode.
** In fact, this is the main reason she's involved in the events of the game. Her family owned a Power Stone and hoped to use it to be able to calm Julia's wild side down. This led to her, in an extended bout of her wild personality, stealing the Stone and running away from home-- and eventually, when she comes to, finds herself inside the Floating Castle.
--->''"I don't know what happened... but I must get out of here and go home!"''
* TrapMaster: Her moveset in her Power Change Mode specializes in this -- among her abilities, she's capable of temporarily [[CrucifiedHeroShot tying opponents onto X-shaped crosses]], and summoning a giant [[AmusementParkOfDoom Merry-Go-Round]] to trap multiple opponents inside and smash them around.

[[folder:Pete]]
[[quoteright:247:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/petepowerstone.png]]
[[caption-width-right:247:[[LivingToy The Invention Boy]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Ayumi Kida
-> '''Appears in:''' ''Power Stone 2'', ''Power Stone Collection''.

-> ''"One hundred-percent perfect!"''

-> In a tiny house in a far off land, there was a toy box in the corner. Suddenly one day, a doll popped out, shining with a heavenly glow. ''"Finally! I can finally move on my own!"'' The doll's name is Pete, and in his chest is a shiny stone... a Power Stone. Through the Power Stone, the fond wish of Pete's owner had finally come true -- and given Pete life. ''"My dream is to create wonderful things that surprise and delight people everywhere!"'' With that, Pete flew out the window -- climbing higher and higher into the sky until he eventually reached a Floating Castle.
----
* BlushSticker: Has these painted on.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Rather than using the Power Stone to wish for power or something for himself as with the other fighters, his wish is to ''"create wonderful things that surprise and delight people everywhere!"''
* ExorcistHead: One of his win-poses involves him striking a pose and spinning his head round and round like a top at high speed. Justified though, since he's a wooden doll.
* {{Expy}}: Obviously one of {{Literature/Pinocchio}}, but being a living wooden doll who uses a variety of energy weapons to fight with when transformed, he's also quite reminiscent of [[VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG Geno]].
* FaceFault: Does this as part of his loss animation in both games -- complete with an epic FacePalm beforehand.
* GadgeteerGenius: Pete already has aspirations to be an inventor and toymaker despite only having recently come to life, and it shows -- the Turbo Helmet item from ''Power Stone Collection'' is stated to have been invented by him.
* KidAppealCharacter: A Pinocchio-like wooden doll with a cheerful personality who can turn into a clockwork robot and who uses toys to battle opponents in his Power Change form? He's definitely this, to say the least.
* KidHero: Is the youngest character in the series due to being a child-like wooden doll who has only recently come to life.
* LivingToy: In his Power Change ''and'' normal form. In his regular form, he's a Pinocchio-like wooden doll who came to life thanks to a wish from his owner on the Power Stone -- and becomes a powerful clockwork robot in his Power Change form.
* MagikarpPower: Pete is pretty sub-par all-around in his base form -- asides from his small size and agility making it easy for him to chain and avoid attacks -- but his SuperMode is arguably one of the strongest in the franchise.
* MyLittlePanzer: Fights with toys in his Power Change form, including summoning a squadron of Toy Soldiers or Model Airplanes to swarm them and/or fill his opponents with bullets.
* PowerCrystal: He's able to move about on his own due to having a Power Stone inside his chest.
* RedBaron: The Invention Boy.
* SecretCharacter: In ''Power Stone Collection'', he can be unlocked in the first ''Power Stone'' by beating the game once.
* ShockAndAwe: In his Power Change form, he's capable of generating enormous pillars of lightning to attack from the air, or when on the ground, can fire off gigantic spheres of electricity and enclose himself in an electrified barrier.
* TinCanRobot: His Power Change form, the Invention Boy.

-> ''[[PreAssKickingOneLiner "How do you want me to cook you?!"]]''
----
* {{Acrofatic}}: Has average speed, so he's faster than the other two main heavy-hitters despite his size.
* AnimalMotifs: He becomes a fire-breathing dinosaur in his Power Change form, playing into his ravenous affinity for food, fiery temper and absolute greed.
* BreathWeapon: Has the [[PlayingWithFire fiery]] version of this in his Power Change form.
* CameraAbuse: In one of his loss/draw animations, Gourmand throws his frying pan at the screen in a fit of rage, before storming off.
* ChefOfIron: Type 3.
* DinosaursAreDragons: In his Power Change form, he's capable of [[BreathWeapon breathing fire]] and launching explosive fireballs from his mouth -- despite being based on a dinosaur.
* DualWielding: Fights with a meat cleaver and a FryingPanOfDoom.
* GratuitousFrench: In fitting with him being a chef, the names of his moves in his Evil Chef form are all in French and cooking-related -- these include the ''Entreé du Jour'' (Starter of the Day), the ''Chef Flambé'' (a reference to the method of cooking [[MeaningfulName involving igniting liquor added to food to produce flames]]), and the ''Plat De Résistance'' (Main Course).
* FatBastard: He's a ravenous chef who will do anything to get his hands on rare delicacies; and when a dark cloud envelopes the airship he is working on, he immediately grabs his Cleaver and Frying Pan and jumps ship in hopes of finding new and rare food at the Floating Castle to tickle his fancy.
-->''"Does it have new ingredients that no one has seen before? This is my lucky chance!"''
* FrenchJerk: He's heavily implied to be French in origin -- with his background as a chef, attack names in GratuitousFrench, and being dressed by default in the red, white and blue of the ''Tricolor'' -- and an evidently greedy and unpleasant opponent.
* GagNose: Gourmand has an enormous pink nose and moustache reminiscent of VideoGame/{{Wario}}, which he maintains in his Power Change form along with his hat and moustache.
* {{Gonk}}: Seriously, just ''look'' at the guy!
* GoodHairEvilHair: He has a devilish-looking moustache.
* HappyDance: Does these in both his regular and Power Change forms. As his normal self, he turns around and shakes his butt toward the camera, but does the [[Music/TheBangles "Walk Like An Egyptian"]] dance in his Evil Chef form.
* RedBaron: The Evil Chef.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has these going on in both his regular and Power Change forms, which effectively shows him to be a greedy, unpleasant and untrustworthy individual.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Wears a short olive-coloured neckerchief in his default form.
* SecretCharacter: In ''Power Stone Collection'', he can be unlocked in the first ''Power Stone'' by beating the game with Julia.
* ShakingTheRump: PlayedForLaughs. One of his victory animations involves him doing a dance, before turning around and ''[[FanDisservice shaking his ass at the camera]]''.
* SoreLoser: Gourmand flies into an absolute rage when he loses in the main game or via a draw; throwing his frying pan at the screen and storming off.
* StoutStrength: Not quite as powerful as say, [[LightningBruiser Galuda]] or [[MightyGlacier Gunrock]], but Gourmand's still strong enough to uproot and swing whole posts and send opponents reeling with basic attacks.
* WalkLikeAnEgyptian: Gourmand does a gloating variation of this dance when he wins in his Power Change mode.

[[caption-width-right:272:[[ActionDad The Infamous Father of Falcon]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/YosukeAkimoto (games), Creator/JurotaKosugi (anime)
-> '''Appears in:''' ''Power Stone'' (non-playable), ''Power Stone 2'', ''Power Stone Collection'' (playable).

-> ''[[QuintessentialBritishGentleman "Oh, nice to meet you!"]]''

----
* AdaptationalDyeJob: In the anime, his hair and moustache are a pale, graying blonde rather than completely gray.
* AdaptationalWimp: In the anime. Although he is still an experienced adventurer, he only appears in person toward the end and never gets to fight, being captured by [[GoldfishPoopGang Octo and Pus]], of all people. Justified however, in that Pride's own ability to Power Change was not established until the second game.
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Pride was quite an established one of these in his youth, and his son Edward follows in his footsteps accordingly.
* BigEater: In the anime. Whilst he's being held hostage by Octo and Pus, Pride slyly convinces them to make him lunch by complimenting their posing. He starts with -- and polishes off with no trouble -- [[LongList spring rolls, dumplings, roast pork with bean sprouts, steamed vegetables, lemon chicken, spicy noodles, and a large bowl of rice.]] By the time Ayame and Apollus break him out, he's onto his ''third'' additional bowl of noodles afterward, and even requests to finish them off before he leaves.
* BlowYouAway: Instead of firing off single missiles for his standard projectile move, Pride fires off powerful cyclonic gusts of wind from his arms that bear a close resemblance to the uncharged [[VideoGame/MegaManX1 Storm Tornado]].
* CoolOldGuy: Pride may be getting on a bit, but he's certainly got a lot of spirit and vigour for his age to still be adventuring and battling.
* DifficultButAwesome: Pride's Power Change mode is for the most part, a more technical version of Edward's; lacking his son's homing abilities in his attacks and generally needing to be closer and time his attacks accordingly. If you do pull it off successfully however, he hits like a ''truck''; his missile attack in particular being capable of taking off almost half a health bar if enough of them connect, and with practice, can even rip through [[FinalBoss Doctor Erode]] like tissue paper.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Pride first appeared in the original ''Power Stone'' in Falcon's ending, when he and his flying skills accidentally cause Falcon to drop the Power Stone they'd found earlier out of their biplane.
* FlyingFirepower: Even more so than Edward. He might be a bit slower on the ground, but he's still agile in the air, and when he hits with his ''Power Explosion'' missiles in particular, he hits ''hard''.
* GentlemanSnarker: Has a moment of this when he revives someone:
--> '''Pride''': Chouga nai yatsu ja... (''You're so hopeless...'')
* GogglesDoNothing: Like Edward, he never puts his goggles on when fighting. Downplayed though, in that he ''does'' wear them whilst flying his son's ''Hockenheim'' biplane.
* MightyGlacier: Pride is, in general, a slower but far physically-stronger variation of his son Edward, who is more of a JackOfAllStats. He hits harder, swings poles like weapons instead of swinging/leaping off of them, and while his rockets in Power Change mode don't home in on nearby opponents, they hit for a literal ''ton'' of damage if they all connect anyway.
* PaletteSwap: Of Edward Falcon. He even uses altered versions of his son's attacks, and gets a couple carried over -- most notably the ''[[{{Shoryuken}} Power Hurricane]]'' -- from his appearance in the original ''Power Stone''.
* PoweredArmor: His Power Change form is this, being a DieselPunk flying suit of armour that fires off missiles very much like his son Edward's -- but dark army greens and browns in colour, and maintains both his moustache and ScarfOfAsskicking.
* RedBaron: Averted. Along with Mel, he's one of only two characters whose Power Change forms do not have official names.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Pride wears a long green flying scarf that he wears looser than Edward does his.
* SecretCharacter: In ''Power Stone 2''. To unlock him, beat the main game with Falcon, Ayame, Rouge, Wang-Tang, Ryoma, Galuda, Jack, and Gunrock -- the original eight characters from the first game.
* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: He's one of these, much like his son. Although not to the point of wearing the Union Flag patches like Falcon does, he's still evidently very formal and polite -- if something of a GentlemanSnarker -- towards his opponents, even as he's fighting.

[[folder:Mel]]
[[quoteright:179:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/melpowerstone.png]]
[[caption-width-right:179:[[JokeCharacter The Item Shop Lady]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Currently unknown
-> '''Appears in:''' ''Power Stone 2'', ''Power Stone Collection''.

-> ''"You have such good timing. New items have just arrived!"''

-> A young woman who runs the Item Shop in ''Power Stone 2''. She's friendly, helpful, and experienced in the unusual art of mixing items to create new ones -- [[LethalJokeCharacter but also surprisingly strong when it comes to battling]], in no small part thanks to her [[ParasolOfPain Deluxe Umbrella]] and amazing knowledge of various weapons. To unlock Mel as a playable character in ''Power Stone 2'', beat the main game with Pride after unlocking him.
----
* ApronMatron: She wears a big pink frilly shopkeeper's apron, complete with "POWER STONE ITEM SHOP" written across it multiple times.
* CatchPhrase: ''"Thank you very much!"''
* ConsolationPrize: If you fail an Item Mix, she'll always apologise and give you a coupon in return -- for every three you collect, you can play the Roulette Game with her and potentially win rare items.
* GlassCannon: As a playable fighter, Mel has a surprisingly high damage output in her Power Change form -- but she also has the lowest defence in the whole game.
* DeathDealer: Mel uses giant Mix Cards as part of her melee attack in her Power Change form -- spinning them around herself in a short radius to briefly create a shield and attack from all sides with.
* EndearinglyDorky: Her great big smile and excited "hands-together" gesture whenever she wins, you give her a present, or you successfully mix an item up is definitely this.
* HartmanHips: Although nothing ''too'' outlandish, she's got some pretty evident hips compared to the other women in the series.
* InnocentBlueEyes: In her artwork, her eyes are a bright blue colour -- and in fitting with her role as a shopkeeper, she's definitely one of the more amicable characters you'll find in the series. Subverted in the actual gameplay, where they're green.
* JokeCharacter: Has the lowest defense in the game by far and her overall attack power is quite weak as well, while her Power Change mode design is uninspired. However...
** LethalJokeCharacter: She is the only character that can use FOUR Power Fusions in her Power Change mode, while everyone else can only do two at maximum.
* MagicSkirt: Her dress works a lot like Julia's in that her feet and legs are visible underneath it, but nothing else. You can evidently see that she's not wearing tights, though.
* MagikarpPower: Downplayed compared to Pete, but still present. Her super mode is very strong, if a little [[QuirkyBard spoony]], and her base form does have some advantages -- mostly cause of the Deluxe Umbrella she carries, which gives her good attacking range and the ability to glide through the air and jump well.
* NightmareFetishist: As shown by her happy reaction and her giving you an item (the Horror Card) when you give her the Horror Book as a present in ''Power Stone 2'', Mel's a big fan of horror stories.
* PaletteSwap: Of Julia, [[QuirkyBard up until she transforms]].
* ParasolOfPain: Much like Julia, she can use the Deluxe Umbrella she carries to increase her attacking range, [[ParasolParachute triple-jump, and glide through the air for great airborne manoeuvrability]]. And of course, for whacking people with.
* PowerGivesYouWings: To the point that ALL that she gets in her Power Change mode is wings. Appropriately enough, they're the "Angel Wings" item she sells in the shop, much like how she wields the Deluxe Umbrella item constantly.
* QuirkyBard: Mel is definitely this as a fighter. Although her fighting style is mostly very similar to that of Julia in her regular form, she gains money-based Power Fusions that are generally less easy to land when transformed, but they hit hard and she can use up to ''four'' as opposed to everyone else's two or one.
* RedBaron: Averted. Along with Pride Falcon, she's one of only two characters in the series whose Power Change forms do not have official names.
* RoseHairedSweetie: Bright pink hair, and a very pleasant, cheerful individual.
* SecretCharacter: In ''Power Stone 2''. To unlock her, beat the main game with Pride.
* SigilSpam: Besides the aforementioned "POWER STONE ITEM SHOP" logos she has on her apron, her skirt also has a dollar-sign pattern to it to further complement her theme of being the shopkeeper.
* SuperStrength: Surprisingly, Mel is capable of using the heaviest items in the game very quickly and lifting/throwing huge objects as easily as the heavyweights [[MusclesAreMeaningless despite appearing to be a relatively small and frail young woman.]] FridgeBrilliance kicks in when you remember she's a shopkeeper, though -- of course she'd be used to moving heavy stock around a lot!
* YouthfulFreckles: They're a little hard to see, but she has these going on around her nose.
