History Characters / DarknessRising

* {{Expy}}: Of Eric from ''Film/TheCrow''.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: [[spoiler: Jackson? Jaxson?]] One wonders how his name wasn't spelled the normal way.

* {{Expy}}: Was written as a parody of [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Bella]].

%%* ThreeAmigos: With Zircon and Yosuke before The Cleansing.

%%* FiveManBand: Slowly making one of their own:
%%** TheHero: Jess (she's the leader.), then Hakumei.

%%** TheBigGuy: Maria
%%** TheSmartGuy: Allison
%%** TheChick: Samantha

* KatanasAreJustBetter: They're his [[WeaponOfChoice weapon of choice]]. Two in Trilogy.

%%* {{Bishonen}}

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Has blue hair as of Trilogy. Justified; they used hair dye.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Justified; they probably used purple hair dye.

%%* YouGottaHaveBlueHair

* MarySue: In-universe example. Note that this is deconstructed and reconstructed all toward the story.

Ah, ''Roleplay/DarknessRising''. You have enough characters to rival even ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia.''

%%* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade A after the Time Skip.

%%* HeroicAlbino: The closest thing of a ''hero'' in this role-play.

Ah, ''Roleplay/DarknessRising''. You have enough characters to rival even ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia.'' Let's begin then...

''Utopia's End'' role-players, don't read anything past the folder that says "Utopia's End". It is likely to contain '''massive, most likely unmarked spoilers.''' (Particularly for Pike.) Read at your own risk.

[[folder: Utopia's End]]

* ChocolateBaby: Since she's albino.

[[folder: Darkness Rising]]
Notice: Hakumei is in the military demons' folder.
!
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Neil- choleric, Hakumei- melancholic, Alex-phlegmatic, Pike- supine.

-->"They stripped me of my humanity, I shall strip them of their lives."

* AntiHero: Type II -> III or IV.
* BadassBoast: "I'm his second best reaper."
** "Do you know who I am? I'm the tenth plague."
* BadassInANiceSuit

* DeadpanSnarker
* {{Determinator}}
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's not the antagonist, but he's pretty... dark. "Killing innocents is the last thing I want to do." At one point, he's actually ''resentful'' for the people he has to kill! Really! He only kills them if ordered to or if they attack him first. He also hates to see people crying.

* EvilLaugh: His laughs are usually normal though. This is when he lost it.
* HeroicBSOD: If he's heroic to you. Still has one when [[spoiler: illusion!Pike is "killed".]]

--> "So we're going on a journey that we have no idea how it'll end up. We could die. And we only have Haku's memory to rely on. All of this just to meet new people."

* [[spoiler:OneWingedAngel]]: Inverted seeing that he's the hero.
* OfficialCouple: With Pike.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* SinisterScythe: On a chain.

* [[spoiler:WingedHumanoid: Upon becoming the Angel of Death.]]
* TallDarkAndSnarky
* TookALevelInBadass: He invades a whole city with only skeletons to help him by the end of the first. In ''Scorched Earth'', it's revealed that [[spoiler: he was promoted to be an Angel of Death due to killing enough people.]]
* {{Yandere}}/ CuteAndPsycho: If you even attempt to touch Pike, he'll ''snap''. No, actually before that. Just being near him can make him bloodthirsty. He became jealous when she and Yoshida were [[LikeBrotherAndSister reuniting each other]].
** Subverted when [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he assured himself if she wasn't the one, she wasn't the one.]]

--> "I will never be just a memory. And I will never be useless either."

* AbusiveParents / ParentalNeglect: They were smart, so they ''pretended'' they cared about her in public (like buy her whatever she wanted to seem "spoiled") but didn't really love her in the inside.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: '''Exaggerated'''. She falls in love with ''Neil''. Then she says she fell for him since he was "one of the first to care about me."

--> Pike: I'm so sorry! This is how I usually greet everyone.

* BadassDecay: In ''Darkness Rising'', she saves Neil multiple times and is shown being able to take care of herself. In Trilogy and Scorched though, she's not as effective as a fighter and becomes a NeutralFemale. May be justified on how everyone else (especially Neil) got stronger.
* ButNotTooForeign: Japanese, Korean and French, but acts pretty Americanized.

* GratuitousJapanese: Without any explanation at all.

* TheHeart: Mostly since she kept most of her humanity.
* HeroicAlbino: The closest thing of a ''hero'' in this role-play.

* MoralityChain: Neil's.
* NeutralFemale: Subverted at least five times, but played straight when Neil tells her to stay out of it.

* ShrinkingViolet: Especially in Trilogy. It showed a bit in Scorched, but not so much in the original.
* SweetTooth: "I'm a sweet food addict." We mostly see her drinking soda though.
* TomboyishName
* WingedHumanoid
* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade A after the Time Skip.

* {{Bishonen}}
* [[spoiler: TheCasanova: This doesn't end well.]]
* [[spoiler: FaceHeelTurn: ''Scorched Earth'' reveals he never loved Hakumei and was using them all along.]]
* GreenThumb / PetalPower : His main power is to control plants, so these are to be expected.
* MayDecemberRomance: With Hakumei. She's seventeen, he's twenty-eight. [[spoiler:He wasn't exactly loyal to her...]]

* NatureSpirit: He's a druid.

* [[spoiler: DeathByIrony: "Give the reaper a message. Tell him that death is coming on swift wings." He's the one who ends up dying at the end.]]
* HeroAntagonist
* KatanasAreJustBetter

[[folder: Scorched Earth]]

* [[spoiler: CameBackWrong: When he becomes a reaper, he loses all of his personality. Laire becomes rude and stricken on revenge. He's considerably worse than Neil.]]

* HealingFactor: He ''stabs himself in the stomach'' and in seconds, gains it back!

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Of the Revenant kind.
* SecondLove: [[spoiler: Hakumei]] and him are each others.

!!Beatrice
* CaptainErsatz: Of [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry Beatrice]].
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
* TheVamp

--> ''Why do we put so much detail and decoration into things that will ultimately be destroyed? And not just armor, or weapons, or other physical things, but things like relationships, and feelings? They are so fragile, so exposed to abuse and danger, yet when we see these things damaged, we are surprised, and we are hurt...Since when have I been a philosopher?''

* {{BFS}}: ''Two.'' At least it explains why he's so muscled.

* [[spoiler: DeathSeeker: He says when he fights with Vandall that he only wanted a "good fight" and willingly allows for himself to be killed.]]

* [[spoiler:ShockAndAwe: When he becomes a demon. ]]
* [[spoiler:PsychoElectro: Only his demonic side.]]

They're so confusing that they needed their own section! Hakumei is included in this folder. Please note that this isn't Jaysen's military.

! Tropes that apply to many of them:

* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Hakumei- brawn, Allison- brains, Destiny/Jess- beauty.
