History Characters / DarkChronicle

* WhiteHairBlackHeart: At least [[spoiler: until he [[HeelFaceTurn decides to turn neutral.]]]]

* DropTheHammer: Some of his wrenches build up to such.

* RobotClown: It gets an entire line of parts dedicated to making it resemble a robot clown.

* RobotClown: Aside from his clown-themed SpiderTank, [[spoiler:he himself becomes one of these when he returns as a cyborg.]]

** The Missile Pod Arms, which release a swarm of missiles at a locked-on target. They chew through WHP incredibly quickly, and if they're used anywhere but in a wide-open space, they rarely hit their target. They're only useful when fighting very large opponents from a distance, including [[spoiler:Gaspard's Battleship, Monster Gaspard, and Emperor Griffon]].

* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:One of the bosses faced in the bonus chapter.]]

* ImprobableWeaponUser: A wrench as a melee weapon.
** Also, one of his hammers is a turtle shell on a stick, which can be upgraded to a ''frozen tuna''.

* InstantExpert: The moment he fights in combat, he shows no trouble in doing so. [[spoiler: Elena theorizes that this is because he's descended from two different eras.]]
** His first fight with using [[MiniMecha the Ridepod]] ends in a CurbStompBattle in his favor.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: She's a princess and an excellent swordfighter.

* TechnicolorEyes

* CrutchCharacter: The Ridepod is capable of dealing far more damage than either Max or Monica at the start, and gets some hefty upgrades over the course of the game. However, if the player opts to ignore the invention system and only buy equipment from Cedric instead, it starts to fall behind quite a bit in the later levels. He's also a bigger target and, if he's using a ranged weapon, has no way to block damage. In a game where you aren't meant to tank ''anything'', this makes him very costly to use.
** It falls behind rather quickly in the Zelmite Mines, with Max's L.E.G.E.N.D. and Monica's Island King dealing significantly more damage than any of the Ridepod's best available weapons, leaving the Ridepod's only saving grace being its mobility. That is, until the fight with [[spoiler:Metal Flotsam]], which gives the Scoop needed to invent the best possible weapons, allowing it to keep up through the end of the dungeon.

* GadgeteerGenius

* MrFixit

* DemolitionsExpert: Erik can provide the player with "Improved Bombs", which are quite potent when used against enemies.
** In addition, whenever the Blackstone One [[BrokenBridge hits a roadblock, such as a pile of boulders on the tracks]], these two are in charge of clearing the way while Max and Monica tend to their business in the current region.

** [[spoiler:And then there's his return in the Zelmite Mines.]]

* FacialMarkings

* OminousOperaCape

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver

* TooManyBelts

* KindlyHousekeeper

%%* GoodShepherd

* NatureLover

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: The rewards he offers for all those hard-to-get medals? Clothes. Max can get a clown outfit, while Monica can get her [[BedlahBabe princess outfit]] from the beginning of the game or...[[FurBikini a very revealing leopard-print bikini]] [[CatGirl with matching gloves, boots, and]] [[AnimalEaredHeadband ears]]. One wonders [[DirtyOldMan why]] Mayor Need even has such things...
** He also offers a "Name-Change Ticket", which can be used to give a weapon a custom name. This was intended to be purely cosmetic, but [[GoodBadBugs due to a bug]], it can be used to get yourself a DiscOneNuke.

* NervousWreck

* InformedAbility: His description as a party member says he can see the future. This never comes up once when he's plot relevant, despite being in a game about time travel.

* BareYourMidriff: When she's wearing her Princess Outfit or the [[FurBikini Panther Ensemble.]]

* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Erik.

%%* DarkSkinnedBlonde

* [[TellMeAboutMyFather Tell Me About My Mother]]: Tries this with his father. It doesn't work.
* [[SwordAndGun Wrench and Gun]]: His weapons of choice.

* [[BraidsOfAction Braid Of Action]]: She secures her hair into a single long braid for adventuring.

* ThoseTwoGuys
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Erik is a guy, but he doesn't exactly have the most masculine appearance or voice, leading some players to be unsure of his gender at first.

* RapunzelHair: It reaches near her ''ankles''.

The son of the wealthiest man in the town of Palm Brinks. Max is a kind 13-year-old kid, who's also handy with a camera and has a very strong knowledge of machinery. He has been chosen by the Red Atlamillia. His weapons of choice are Wrenches, Hammers, and Guns, and he can control Steve the Ridepod after he helps Cedric fix it up.

* KidHero

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: His backstory in Chapter 5. He was born to [[HumanMomNonHumanDad a human mother and a changeling father]] and because of his [[HalfHumanHybrid mixed heritage]] the other people in the village called him "demon child". They were still living happily because the others were afraid of Gaspard's father, but when he falls ill and dies, the villagers chase Gaspard and his mother out of their home, forcing to live in poverty and move from town to town to find shelter. And when it finally seems they have found a place to settle in... Gaspard's mother falls ill from the stress and dies.]]

* HumanMomNonHumanDad: [[spoiler: His father was changeling, while his mother was a normal human.]]

* SkirtOverSlacks: Her Striped Dress.

* GuideDangIt: To recruit him, you have to help him figure out the combination to his safe. The clues he gives are incredibly obtuse and unhelpful.

* Expy: [[spoiler: Of the Dark Genie from the first Dark Cloud, being the MadeOfEvil EnemyWithout of the main antagonist, like the Dark Genie was for Seda.]]

* Sizeshifter: During its boss battle, it can grow to the size of a building to unleash a devastating laser attack on Max and Monica.
