Quicksilver, Keep in gates

A homunculus created by the owner of a mansion called Frasco. He was an independent scientist attempting to plumb the secrets of creating life. The scientist was taken away by the government moments before her birth. A.B.A. was then left alone for ten years. Even though Frasco wasn't impossible to escape from, A.B.A. came to a nasty epiphany: she realized that her ignorance of the outside world would prevent her from surviving in it, and resigned herself to an isolated existence. To cope with the inevitable depression, A.B.A. began to collect keys; they represented a way to escape her lonely life into an exciting new world. While wandering the area around Frasco one day, she found a sentient relic called Flament Nagel. A.B.A. fell in love at first sight (as the Flament Nagel is shaped like a key) and renamed it Paracelsus. She decided to give it an artificial body like hers, and ventured out into the world looking for a way to do so.

A high-risk/high-reward character, A.B.A. starts out generally terrible with limited mobility and slow normal attack speed. But when she lands her Bonding command throw (a.k.a. Keygrab) or consumes a bloodpack (she starts with 3 each round), A.B.A. will temporarily enter her monstrous Moroha Mode, granting her greatly enhanced mobility, attack options and solid damage. This comes at a price however; she drains her own hit-points every time her attacks connect with the opponent, even if it lands or is blocked while in Moroha Mode. This makes her a very technical character with a reliance on careful resource management and knowing just when to apply pressure with Moroha Mode.


  • Artificial Human: Well, she is a Homunculus.
  • Blood Is the New Black: Since she's regularly covered in blood, people keep mistaking her for an injured person.
  • Bloody Murder: A core mechanic of her character - she uses blood packs to make Paracelsus's attacks more powerful.
  • Canon Immigrant: First appeared in Isuka, then got ported to Slash with upgraded gameplay, and was finally given her own story in Accent Core + .
  • Cargo Ship: In-universe, with Paracelsus. It's canon from A.B.A.'s side and win quotes from I-No suggest that she even masturbates with Paracelsus (or at least tries to, anyway). Considering that the person saying this is I-No, you may want to take this with a grain of salt.
  • Cast from Hit Points: Her Moroha (Double-Edged) Mode gives her the ability to run and some extra punch in her altered normals and moves, but it steadily drains her health while it's active.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: Sort of. Although she isn't mentioned specifically by name, A.B.A's existence actually is somewhat important to Asuka R. Kreutz's arcade story, as it's stated he took inspiration from her creation in order to make his clones.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: Has a tendency to get in fights if she thinks someone's trying to take Paracelsus away from her. When he's finally transformed, she has him chained to her so that he can't run away.
  • Companion Cube: Has an affection for keys, hence why she was so drawn to the Flament Nagel. To her, they symbolise a way out of the confines of Frasco and into exciting new worlds.
  • Depending on the Artist: Depictions of A.B.A. can range anywhere from looking like she just crawled out of her grave to being a straight-up Cute Monster Girl. Compare her picture up top to her in-game sprites.
  • The Eeyore: She constantly speaks in a very morose voice, and never really perks up for anything beyond her companion.
  • Goth: Appears to be styled after the gloomy types.
  • Glacier Waif: Not particularly muscle-bound, but she's still got the strength to swing Paracelcus around. Her speed is on par with Potemkin's without the blood packs, since she can only dash.
  • Improbable Weapon User: Uses an ancient, sentient key with blade-like properties.
  • Lightning Bruiser: Once Paracelsus gets a taste of blood and enters Moroha (Double-Edge) Mode through that method or through her command throw, A.B.A. becomes very fast and powerful, due to being able to run normally in that mode and having a ton of advantageous moves. She also has an overall very high defense tied with Robo-Ky and a solid Guts rating, which would normally mean she'd be able to take a ton of beatings if not for her draining health in said mode.
    • She takes even more of the cake when she enters Goku Moroha (Extreme Double-Edge) Mode through one of her Overdrives.
  • Our Homunculi Are Different: This homunculi is a pale young woman who feasts on blood and has an emotional attachment to keys.
  • Mad Love: A.B.A. is in total love with her weapon, Paracelus. He's uninterested in both her and the idea of having a body of his own, but he doesn't really get a choice in that matter since he can't walk away.
  • Pet the Dog: While he doesn't want a romantic relationship with her, Paracelus does care for A.B.A.
  • Proverbial Wisdom: Sees herself as superior to human beings due to being an artificial life form, and attempts to quote proverbs to seem wise. She gets most of them wrong, however.
  • Put on a Bus: Despite having finally been made canon in the XX Accent Core games, she was completely absent without mention from Xrd and has not appeared in Strive, only receiving an indirect reference from Asuka during his arcade mode.
  • Theme Naming: A lot of her move names have to do with destroying things or something negative (Ruination, Eradication, Blunder, etc).

    Z-Dan (Team Zako) 
Voiced by: Takao Suzuki, Toshimichi Mori, and Masaomi Kikuchi

A group of thieves who appear in Isuka.


  • Joke Character: After completing Boost Mode once, you can select the Z-Dan for Arcade and Versus Modes. They only know a punch and kick respectively, and some can't even jump.note  The reason they're all so bad, you ask? Because their playable iterations and the versions you fight in Boost Mode are the exact same mechanics-wise. They're basically the Guilty Gear equivalent of playing as a Goomba.Lord help anyone trying to win any kind of battle with them.
  • Meaningful Name: Zako is Japanese for "trash" or "junk", and they're completely useless.
  • Mooks: Serve as this in the Isuka-exclusive Boost mode.

    Leopaldon 

Leopaldon

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Leopaldon_5746.jpg


The final boss of Isuka, it's a bizarre, but powerful collective consisting of a large, yeti-like Gear fused with a dog and controlled by the dog's owner: a drum-beating man who lives in Antarctica.


  • Gentle Giant: The man is said to be a kind-hearted person who simply happened to find a long-dead Gear and decided to have a little fun with it. When he isn't fighting with the Gear, he uses its powers to help those that're lost in the Antarctic.
  • Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: No relation to Happy Chaos or any other villain. It's just this strange combination of creatures you fight in the Antarctic at the end of the Isuka's arcade mode for no discernible reason. It doesn't help it never appeared again after Isuka, either.
  • Leitmotif: "Kill DOG as a Sacrifice to DOG".
  • Monster Suit: The dog's essentially wearing the Gear as a suit, while its owner controls the Gear's movements.
  • SNK Boss: Has several high-priority moves, such as barrages of boards and multi-hitting spheres.
  • Nigh-Invulnerable: His only vulnerable spot is his head (the dog's head, to be exact). You cannot damage him anywhere else.
  • Riddle for the Ages: It's unclear whether it's the Gear, the man, or the dog that bears the name "Leopaldon". It's likely the dog, though, as in-game close-ups of Leopaldon's portrait focus on the dog, the dog's head is Leopaldon's weak point, the Gear moves like a dog in some of its animations, and Leopaldon's theme's called "Kill DOG as a Sacrifice to DOG".

Guilty Gear Petit

    Fanny 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Fanny_Guilty_Gear_Petite-1-_2821.gif

The under-loved character who only appeared in Guilty Gear Petite 1 and 2, Fanny is a slightly airheaded weirdo who is trying her best to find Dr. Baldhead since she's a big fan of him. She's a nurse with a huge syringe, and a medical kit of oversized weapons. She's cute, she's rare-to-find, she's... never mentioned.


  • Ass Kicks You: Does this as part of her Instant Kill, using her rear-end to bump the opponent into an ambulance.
  • Battleaxe Nurse: A subversion in that she's actually quite cute, but has hints of being sadistic.
  • Hospital Hottie: But of course.
  • Little Miss Badass: A nurse who attacks you with a syringe and medical tools. Basically, Faust if he was a ditzy woman.
  • Nurse with Good Intentions: She is a student of nursing school, but her violent behavior may hint that she's... not ideal.
  • Palette Swap: She has a lot of moves like Faust, though it doesn't explain how she can do Neck Periscope without Faust's occultist powers.

Guilty Gear Judgment

    Judgment 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/judgment_J1N_305.gif
Voiced by: Takayuki Ideriha

The titular antagonist of Guilty Gear Judgment. Once a scientist named Raymond, he experiments on the people of Villtania to create a weapon stronger than the Gears. He eventually does this to himself by consuming the powers of Inus, the ruler of the Underworld, but much like a certain SNK Boss, gets consumed by his power and dies.


  • A God Am I: Actually refers to himself as God against several of the characters, most specifically Ky and Potemkin.
  • Antagonist Title: He's the title character and main antagonist of Judgment.
  • Big Bad: of Guilty Gear Judgment.
  • Karmic Death: He dies because the king of the Underworld wished to remain dead, and this causes Raymond to melt away.
    • That, and his soul technically jumped into a dead body, which is something Eddie actually mocks him for.

Guilty Gear: Dust Strikers

    Gig 
The boss of Dust Strikers.

Guilty Gear Vastedge

  • Living Shadow: It is revealed he has taken control of Zato-1's shadow parasite Eddie, and uses him to battle Sol.

Guilty Gear Xtra

    Tyr 
The male protagonist of Xtra
  • Anime Hair: This being Guilty Gear, it's not really surprising.
  • Artificial Human: It is eventually revealed that he was artificially created, though he is not a Gear. It explains why he didn't age in a period of at least 15 years.
  • Idiot Hero: Well not really but he is a bit of an airhead.
  • Older Than They Look: He may look like a teenager but met Ky as child during the Crusades and fought Gears alongside Kliff Undersn.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: He's so powerful that he could destroy a Gear Mothership that was easily the size of Zepp, which is as large as a country with a concentrated blast from Fenrir.
  • Stock Shōnen Hero: Looks and plays the part.

    Mizuha 
The female protagonist of Xtra.

    Geena 
An agent of the Post-War Administration Bureau who serves as the primary antagonist of Xtra.
  • Ax-Crazy: She is not above killing innocent bystanders if it will give her a decisive advantage in battle, or simply because she is irritated.
  • Cessation of Existence: Right after attacking Tyr knocking him out, Mizuha was not happy with. So she gave Geena a Ki Ball right in her face and killing her in the process.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: This may be a stretch but she would like nothing more than to annihilate everything. So yeah.

Novels

    Marina 
A crippled girl whom Ky befriended in the Lightning The Argent novel. She is saved by Ky and is currently under the protection of the IPF.

    Erica Batholomew 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gg_strive_erica.png

Voiced by:
JP: Masumi Tazawa
ENG: Sarah Anne Williams

The 17-year-old President of "A Country", formerly the USA. She's little more than a pawn for the Assassins's Guild, and she knows it clearly: refusing to just take it, Erica decides to have an alliance with Zepp and becomes the target of the guild, which leads Chipp Zanuff to her. She comes from the novel "The Butterfly and her Gale."

She reappears as Chief of Staff to the 76th US President Colin Vernon in Strive.
  • Artistic License – Politics: She's only 17, yet she was the President of America in Guilty Gear. However, that's less than half of the real life minimum age required to be eligible for presidency, 35 years old. Barring an amendment to the US Constitution, it would be impossible for Erica to hold her position outside in reality.
  • Big Beautiful Woman: Downplayed, but she is quite heavyset and noticeably thicker than most other women in the franchise.
  • Bodyguard Crush: She and Chipp.
  • Orphan's Ordeal: Erica was raised in an Orphanage of Love, and at some point the director of said place is kidnapped in an attempt to blackmail her into cutting ties with Zepp.
  • Plucky Girl: The reason why she's in trouble is because she wants to do what she thinks is the right thing.
  • Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: When the kid has enough of being a pawn, she tries this.
