!Raul Gureden (Voiced by GoInoue)
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/raul.jpg
Male protagonist of ''Super Robot Wars Reversal'', Raul's a test pilot of the Excellence machine installed with the Time Flow Engine. He's rather close with the team's WrenchWench Mizuho Saiki and good friends with the energy {{otaku}} Raji Montoya, and one can consider him and Mizuho a couple, though they'll mostly deny it. His story differs depending on continuity.

In ''Reversal'', he originates in a CrapsackWorld where bad events like ''CharsCounterattack'' or ''[[MartianSuccessorNadesico Prince of Darkness]]'' is on the air. Trying to promote the Engine, he enlists him and his team to the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Nahel Argama]] or [[MartianSuccessorNadesico Nadesico]], but at one point meets the enigmatic Duminuss, who wants the Engine for its own purposes. Attacking Raul and his team, the Engine gets damaged that it opens a wormhole, transporting them to a MUCH brighter past. After doubting to make changes that will preserve the future, Raul declares that MAYBE a TemporalParadox won't hurt, if it's to fix the BadFuture. Duminuss continues to target him and the Engine, but its death throws Raul and his company back to their time...now brighter and sunnier because of his efforts to fix the past.

In ''[[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Super Robot Wars Original Generation 2]]'', he comes from the [[SuperRobotWarsAdvance same world as the Shadow-Mirror]] and has a younger twin sister named Fiona. In the prologue, the team's sought by the Shadow-Mirror, but continues to elude them, until [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Lemon Browning]] sends [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Axel Almer]] to retrieve the Time Flow Engine. He proceeds to disable Fiona's Excellence when Duminuss appears and sends an attack at Raul. Fiona [[TakingTheBullet takes the shot]], but the shock of the attack causes the Engine in her unit to go haywire and open a dimensional gate, sucking the siblings in (fortunately for Axel, he eludes it). Raul, Raji and Mizuho wind up transported to the Original Generation universe and align with the Earth Federation Army (with some help from [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsClassic Gilliam Yeager]]) at the height of the war with [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsClassic the Inspectors]] and [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 the Einst]]. Following the war, Raul, Raji and Mizuho join the Kurogane crew, with hopes that they might find Fiona.

Six months later during ''Original Generation Gaiden'', during a clash between [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Kouta Azuma]] and his BrainwashedAndCrazy sister [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Shouko Azuma]] as "Dark Emi", the energies from the Compatible Kaiser and G-Thundergate trigger a wormhole with Fiona and her Excellence coming out from it. While Raul catches up Fiona with current events, Duminuss' kidnaps Raji and Mizuho. In response, he and Fiona take their machines to battle the creature and rescue them both, [[spoiler: alongside saving Duminuss' surviving Homunculi Despinis]]. Raul's story ends with him dismantling his Excellence, citing the Time Flow Engine is too dangerous and something like Duminuss will come again with hopes to seize the Engine and misuse it. Opting to open a junkyard/mechanic shop called "L&E Corporation" [[spoiler: and taking in Despinis as a family member]], Raul continues to become a test pilot for Mizuho's new rescue-oriented robotics. Despite not actively taking to the battlefield again, Raul and Fiona still continue to help out the Earth Federation Army in the ''Second Original Generation''.

Which machine does he ride? The Excellence, of course, with a full set of frames, changeable to adapt to any situation/terrain. He later gets the {{super robot|Genre}} Excellence "Lightning" as a final upgrade. For the ''Second Original Generation'', despite having dismantled the Excellence, Raul returns with the new Excellence "Rescue". Raul embodies these tropes:
[[hardline]]
* {{Attack Drone}}s: Excellence Cosmodiver's Fairy
* CallBack: In Scenario 27 for ''Original Generation Gaiden'', Raul notes the environment is the same when they were attacked by Axel and Duminuss back in their world. ''Original Generation Gaiden'' reused the same map from ''Original Generations''.
* ChestBlaster: Excellence Lightning's Black Sun
* CombatMedic: Rescue frame
* CoolSword: Excellence Lightning's Dimension Slasher
* GunsAkimbo: Cosmodiver frame
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Over The Time Flow"
* MechaExpansionPack, SwissArmyWeapon: Excellence's multiple frames
* MulticoloredHair: Black-red hair
* [[ScrewDestiny Screw The Already Bleak Future]]
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: His standard reaction whenever people try to ship him with Mizuho.
* SpearCounterpart: Reversal'' only
** HalfIdenticalTwins: ''Original Generation'' only
* TemporalParadox, TimeTravel: ''Reversal'' only; of note is he doesn't necessarily care that he might alter the future to be more of a [[CrapsackWorld crapsack]] than before.
* TransformingMecha: Excellence is basically this; in ''Original Generation'', it can change frames on the fly, as opposed to ''Reversal'', where it can only change during the intermission or docked with an allied battleship.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to WordOfGod, Raul and the rest of the ''Reversal'' cast were originally not intended to be in the ''Second Original Generation''. Because of development delays and time constaints, the team either didn't add them into the sequel or put them in, but rendered only the Excellence Rescue as the only frame available; they chose the latter.
* WrongGenreSavvy: The dismantling of the Time Flow Engine and Excellence frames was due to the belief it was attracting problems because of its unique nature. Turns out alien invasions and mad scientists still flock to Earth without it.

!Fiona Gureden (Voiced by YukiMasuda)
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/195625108815754416.jpg
Heroine of ''Reversal'', Fiona starts as Raul's DistaffCounterpart, meaning her story's the same as Raul in ''Reversal'', but they cannot coexist together...except she's not into GirlsLove and has a steady relationship with Raji, where she thinks her status as a test pilot hinders his research with the Time Flow Engine. ''Original Generation'' turns her into a [[HalfIdenticalTwins younger twin sister]] and unlike Raul who [[StraightMan takes his business seriously]], Fiona's [[TheTease much more laid back and teasing]] and likes to remind Raul she's his younger sister, despite him claiming it shouldn't make any difference, since they're... well, you know... twins.

Her story starts out the same as Raul in ''Original Generation 2'', but after being thrown into the dimensional gate, Fiona vanishes and isn't seen again for an entire game. Come ''Original Generation Gaiden'', when the clash between the Compatible Kaiser's Overgate Engine and the G-Thundergate opens up a wormhole, out pops Fiona, starving and still injured from taking the attack meant for Raul by Duminuss. Thanks to the interference of [[spoiler: Axel and [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Einst Alfimi]]]], Raul hauls her for medical attention aboard the Kurogane. After being caught up with the fact she's in an AlternateDimension and learning Raji and Mizuho are kidnapped by Duminuss, Fiona takes to the battlefield to assault Duminuss and continue to be at her brother's side. With Duminuss defeated, Fiona dismantles her Excellence, agreeing the Time Flow Engine is still yet an unstable piece of technology, and opens the "L&E Corporation" (named by her after the Lightning and Eternal frames) with Raul as another test pilot for Mizuho, although [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Dr. Marion Radom]] states she wants to build something for Fiona that's better than the Excellence.

She starts with the same Excellence machine like Raul, however her final upgrade is the much more feminime Excellence "Eternal". Fiona embodies these tropes (some of them are shared with Raul, though):
[[hardline]]
* {{Attack Drone}}s: Excellence Cosmodiver's Fairy
* CrucifiedHeroShot: Excellence Eternal's Final Grand Cross
** Technically subverted, because she doesn't do this pose while doing her HeroicSacrifice: she pulls it out after surviving all those hijinx with the Eternal frame. A case can also be made that the Final Grand Cross is a ShoutOut to DetonatorOrgun's Grand Cross attack.
* DemotedToExtra: Rendered as a sub-pilot for the Excellence Rescue in the ''Second Original Generation''
* DistaffCounterpart: ''Reversal'' only
** HalfIdenticalTwins: ''Original Generation'' only
* GunsAkimbo: Cosmodiver frame
* HeroicSacrifice: ''Original Generation'' only; subverted later due to TrailersAlwaysSpoil (see [[HesJustHiding She's Just Hiding]])
* HeyItsThatVoice: A special treat for ''FlameOfRecca'' fans. Fiona's basically a more laidback [[TheChick Yanagi]] with MUCH more backbone.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: In ''Original Generation Gaiden'', she gets praised by Marion for using the Eternal's energy emitters as blades.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Over The World Wall"
* MechaExpansionPack, SwissArmyWeapon
* NotSoDifferent: Heroic variation. The way Marion approaches Fiona feels as if Marion was like Fiona when she was younger. Still, how a Fiona-like Marion (if true) could grow into the current Marion players know better...yeah, [[YouDoNOTWantToKnow might be better left unanswered]].
* {{Red Headed Hero}}ine
* TheTease: Not as much as [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Excellen Browning]], but she mercilessly teases her "Onii-chan~".
** Needless to say, fanart ran with this and gave us a ScrewYourself for ''Reversal'' and {{Twincest}} for ''Original Generation''.
* TransformingMecha

!Raji Montoya (Voiced by Hideki Ogihara)
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/200691658397711288.jpg
Raul's scientist buddy who created the Time Flow Engine, Raji's an {{Otaku}} about energy sources and usually accompanies Raul in his endeavors, but in case you're playing Fiona's scenario in ''Reversal'', he's her love interest and a big source of Fiona's {{Wangst}}. In either continuity, he's kidnapped with Mizuho to create a new Time Flow Engine for Duminuss, but sabotages it at the last second to give Raul/Fiona a chance. Exclusively for ''Original Generation'', he becomes a sub-pilot for Raul's Excellence Lightning. At the end of ''Original Generation Gaiden'', when Raul and Fiona decide to dismantle their Excellences, Raji doesn't entirely abandon his continuing research to the Time Flow Engine, but he does intend to one day discover the Engine's true properties.

[[NamesTheSame Not related in any way with]] [[Film/ThePrincessBride Inigo Montoya]], nor [[MyNameIsInigoMontoya did he say that]], nor were his parents [[YouKilledMyFather killed by Duminuss]]...and neither does he say "PrepareToDie".

Tropes associated with Raji:
[[hardline]]
* AscendedExtra: Promoted from a non-playable side-character in ''Reversal'' to a sub-pilot in ''Original Generation''.
* HeroicSecondWind: ''In a way''. Basically, when Duminuss appears for the near-last time in ''Reversal'', it's really joyous that not even the Round Knights can stop it from getting what it wants. Suddenly, Raji makes his "malfunction" on the second Time Flow Engine work, Duminuss gets horribly wounded and the tables are turned to the Round Knights' favor.
* StoicSpectacles
* {{Otaku}}, NoFourthWall: In one intermission save dialogue, he tries to ''disassemble your PlayStation2'' just to understand how the energy source is!
* HeyItsThatVoice: ''{{Mahoromatic}}'' fans will recognize Raji as Toshiya; ''{{Shuffle}}'' fans will hear Itsuki.

!Mizuho Saiki (Voiced by Mariko Suzuki)
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/200128708444277682.jpg
The other friend of Raul, or more specifically his girlfriend...[[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend or not, as Raul insists]], Mizuho's responsible for the creation of the Excellence machines and their various frames, which is built on the basis that her parents died after a disaster and she wanted to create a rescue-based unit. The irony is because of the demand in their world, she winds up arming the Excellence instead. Unfortunately for players, if Fiona's the main character for ''Reversal'', don't expect any LesYay. Usually seen next with Raji as a pair developing the Excellence, in either continuity, she's kidnapped with him by Duminuss. Exclusively for ''Original Generation'', she becomes a sub-pilot for Fiona's Excellence Eternal.

Tropes associated with Mizuho:
[[hardline]]
* AscendedExtra: Like Raji, Mizuho rises from side-character status in ''Reversal'' to Fiona's sub-pilot in ''Original Generation''.
* [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend He Is Not My Boyfriend]]: Her reaction with Raul
* WrenchWench: May double as TheBlacksmith, having crafted the {{Mecha Expansion Pack}}s for the Excellence.
* NamesTheSame: Variation with Mizuho's voice actress. She is NOT the Mariko Suzuki that voices [[VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}} KOS-MOS]].

!DUMINUSS' & FAMILY
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/duminussfamily.jpg
[[caption-width:330:Ah, such a happy family...]]
The antagonists of ''Reversal'', consisting of three little kids and a giant pink blob for a parent.
[[hardline]]

!!Duminuss (Voiced by Atsuko Hayama)
A pink giant blob BetaTestBaddie that seemingly killed its creator. Now it (could possibly be a ''she'' because of its voice actor in ''Original Generations''/''Original Generation Gaiden'', but due to the lack of a specific gender, we'll simply designate Duminuss "genderless") wonders about its purpose and tries to find the answer. When Duminuss stumbles upon the Time Flow Engine, it tries to seize that and try to find out about its creator and purpose. Duminuss is assisted with three homunculi Despinis, Laliar and Tis, whom it actually loves. And despite how heart-wrenching it is, it's doomed to fail.

Not in ''Original Generation Gaiden'', however, where Duminuss is changed into a SmugSnake that doesn't even care for its creations. It's also revealed it's created by [[spoiler:[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Dark Brain]], who proceeds to say Duminuss is a failure for having lost the Emi Armor and G-Thundergate to [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Fighter Roar]] and destroys it]].

Duminuss has three forms to fight you: Proton, Deutron and Triton. ''Original Generation Gaiden'' tosses out the Deutron form and has Duminuss transform into Triton form after [[spoiler: forcibly absorbing Tis and Laliar against their will]]. Tropes associated with Duminuss:
[[hardline]]
* AntiVillain BigBad: ''Reversal'' version; many REALLY got too touched with the kids' [[TearJerker heart-wrenching]] sacrifice to the point one has to wonder "THIS is the ''BigBad'' of the game?". Some players went to the extremes and were unable to finish the game because they just can't bear to see the heart-wrenching sacrifice go in vain.
** ''Original Generation Gaiden'' [[AvertedTrope threw all of this out the window]], though.
* BackFromTheDead, CameBackWrong: It'd use these as a mean to antagonize your team, by reviving two supposedly dead characters. In ''Original Generation'', it's [[spoiler: [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Lamia Loveless]]]] (though more of a case of salvaging a NotQuiteDead person); in ''Reversal'', it's '''[[spoiler:[[GGundam Master Asia]]]]'''.
* BetaTestBaddie: It's implied by [[spoiler:Dark Brain]] in ''Original Generation Gaiden'', who calls Duminuss correctly as "Dynamis 3", that Duminuss is but one of many other {{Beta Test Baddie}}s in the multiverse created and sent out to seek the Twelve Keys.
* EvilMatriarch: Apparently this is what it is, if you think it's a "she". It doesn't help that Duminuss has a CrossDressingVoice.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Original Sin"
* OneWingedAngel: Two moments of this in ''Reversal''.
* MoreThanMindControl: More or less. In ''Original Generation Gaiden'', it resorts to this to control [[spoiler: Lamia]] since apparently normal reprogramming isn't enough. [[spoiler: Yet, it missed [[ChekhovsGun one tiny black box which ends up enabling her to recover]]]].
* SmugSnake: ''Original Generation'' only. Working with fellow SmugSnake [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact3 Mizal Touval]] cements it as this.
* YankTheDogsChain: Attempted to do so in ''Original Generation Gaiden''. [[spoiler:After making it look like Lamia got killed, Duminuss brought her back in order to demoralize the whole team and made it sure that she couldn't even refuse the order to blow herself up, so the Earth Federation Army, especially Kyosuke, making his glimmer of hope of fulfilling his promise dashed. That ends up in failure, because Axel [[BackFromTheDead happens to still be around]], [[HeelFaceTurn had a change of heart]] and [[SpannerInTheWorks has just that something that would override Duminuss' brainwashing, and makes it work.]]]]

!!Tis (Voiced by Mayuko Takahashi)
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/204632308069497146.jpg
The pink-haired homunculus of Duminuss, the leader between the team. Impulsive and hot-headed for a loli, and apparently [[ACupAngst super sensitive about her boobs]] (in fact, her wish if she ever gets revivied is to get [[BuxomIsBetter a body with large breasts]]). In ''Reversal'', she makes contact with [[{{Zambot 3}} the Gaizock Empire]]; in ''Original Generation'', she handles the Chimera or the Space Flounder monsters, as well ensuring the G-Thundergate is still in their possession.

Her mecha is called the Durgatel. Tis embodies these tropes:
[[hardline]]
* ACupAngst
* CuteBruiser: Moreso than the rest of her allies. In ''Reversal'', she and her homunculus siblings fought the [[{{GGundam}} Shuffle Alliance]] ''to a standstill''...in '''unarmed combat'''.
* EnfantTerrible: Unlike the other homunculi, Tiz is pretty mean.
* FastballSpecial: One of the Durgatel's attacks is essentially having its towering golem-like machine "[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Pater]]" throwing it at the enemy.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Durgatel's partnered with the much larger Pater, used in most of its attacks.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Be A Perfect"
* LittleMissBadass
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it "Tis" or "Tiz"?
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Pink Hair]]

!!Despinis (Voiced by Megumi Ishikawa)
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/203787883139388729.jpg
The blue haired homunculus of Duminuss, quite possibly the youngest sibling. [[ShrinkingViolet Chronically and painfully shy and demure]], she's usually charged with keeping control of those brought BackFromTheDead. When that character gets freed, she then handles with the job to observe the construction of the second Time Flow Engine.

Her personality, however, ends up giving her a ''good'' tweak in ''Original Generation'', where [[spoiler: she's the only homunculus spared from demise, unlike her siblings who are consumed against their will by Duminuss, who in turn got splattered to death by the Dark Brain. She ends up getting adopted to the Gureden family, though this doesn't fix her shyness]].

Despinis is usually seen with her mecha Ereos in combat, [[spoiler:but at the end of ''Original Generation Gaiden'', she destroys it to let go of the past. Despinis returns in the ''Second Original Generation'' as a sub-pilot of the Excellence Rescue, along with Fiona]]. Tropes associated with Despinis include:
[[hardline]]
* ApologisesALot, ApologeticAttacker
* FanNickname: "Loli-[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Sleigh]]", since they almost look alike. Or..."Deathpenis", due to the spelling of her name, but not that players have anything against her.
* [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn]]: ''Original Generation'' only
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Be A Perfect"
* LittleMissBadass: Don't let her demure self fool you; she's just about as good as she gets in battle.
* OjouRinglets
* ShrinkingViolet, ShyBlueHairedGirl
* [[spoiler: SparedByTheAdaptation]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Apparently, her other name-spelling is "Despoiniz".
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair

!!Laliar (Voiced by Ryoko Nagata)
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/202943458209261878.jpg
The only male homunculus, he's the middle ground between Tis and Despinis. He contacts the [[CharsCounterattack Neo Zeon]] in ''Reversal'' and usually takes a more active stance in battle. In ''Original Generation'', however, he rarely heads to the battlefield and [[DemotedToExtra seemingly gets shafted to the sidelines]]...

In those instances he goes to battle, he rides the machine Hypocrisis. Tropes associated with Laliar:
[[hardline]]
* CrossdressingVoices
* DemotedToExtra: [[MemeticMutation Yes, we know, Laliar...and we're sorry]].
* HeyItsThatVoice: Yes, that's [[KiddyGrade Eclair]] you're hearing. Don't ask why [[CrossdressingVoice she sounds like a boy now]] and her famous breasts is nowhere to be seen.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Always acts like this toward his homunculi siblings. It isn't unusual for him to hold off the heroes so Tis and Despinis can escape.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Be A Perfect"
* TheOneGuy, UnsettlignGenderReveal: Yes, Laliar is a BOY, folks.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it "Ralia", "Lalia" or "Laliar"?
* SwordsAkimbo, BladeOnAStick: Hypocrisis sports four arms, all of them holding a sword each during one attack. Hypocrisis also wields several spears as its armament.
