History Characters / Dissidia012FinalFantasyWarriorsOfCosmos

* WhoWearsShortShorts: In her Gunner dressphere.

* {{Bishonen}}: Not the bishiest, but just take a look at his EX Mode.

%%* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]

%%* SkirtOverSlacks

* FingerlessGloves: She wears an asymmetrical pair.

* FingerlessGloves

%%* FingerlessGloves

* FingerlessGloves: His gauntlets don't cover his fingers except in his Tactics A2 costume.

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: In the Epilogue chapter, the entirety of the storyline applied to Kain after [[spoiler:he confronts Exdeath and Golbez]] functions as an extended one of these. [[spoiler:Kain had, then, a myriad of opportunities to escape FinalDeath at the hands of the manikins, and could have lived to fight in the next cycle. No one would have known, if he had chosen to take them, save for Golbez who pretty much ''asked'' him to.]] Yet, he ''didn't''. [[spoiler:Kain drags himself through apparent hell and high water to get to the LastStand, despite it all.]] Considering both the morally dubious nature of his role in the storyline and his reputation in the fandom as a backstabbing traitor in his original game, it's a nice way to establish that no, Kain really is a good guy.

A knight clad in [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons draconic armor]], with [[BladeOnAStick lance]] in hand. Though not one to [[TheStoic display emotion]], he is [[TheFettered compassionate and possesses a strong sense of justice]].

* AnimalMotifs: [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons Dragons]], naturally, from his armor to his attack calls.

%%* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons

* {{Mediator}}: Tries to play the role of negotiator between Tidus and Jecht. It defuses somewhat, but [[spoiler:The Emperor doesn't want Tidus not to fight. It leads to Jecht saving Tidus, becoming a Warrior of Chaos due to it. Thus, her attempt at mediating the two causes their fighting in ''Dissidia''.]]

* JokeCharacter: His antics are much more comical than the rest of the cast, including a RocketPunch that fires giant boxing gloves at the opponent; a diving headbutt Jump where he gets his head stuck in the ground; and his failed EX Burst, where he dynamically attacks with Excalipoor for 1 damage each time, he realizes he picked the wrong sword, and throws it over his shoulder at the enemy while clutching his head and bemoaning his mistake. He's also very impractical for serious play -- while 6/8 of his random weapons are fine, the Battle Axe randomly gets a huge damage penalty or a huge damage boost, and the Excalipoor reduces all damage to 1. There's the chance his EX Mode will randomly stick him with the Excalipoor, meaning any attack he uses might get reduced to 1 damage, and while his EX Burst is the strongest in the game if you pick Excalibur, it's one of the most difficult ones ''to'' get right and is by far the weakest if you fail it. Of course, the very reason Gilgamesh is in this game is because he's a BreakoutCharacter and a major part of why the fanbase loves him is his comical EpicFail antics, so Gilgamesh having some crazy, impractical gimmicks to his fighting style is part of his appeal.

* ShoutOut: Oddly enough, there seem to be more then a few to ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. His EX Burst resembles [[Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya Illya and Miyu's]] use of [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fate_kaleid_liner_prisma_illya/v02/c013/25.html Kaleidoscope to recreate Excalibur]].

The EnsembleDarkhorse from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'', [[WhatCouldHaveBeen originally meant to be Cecil's foe in the original game]], finally makes it for ''Dissidia 012''. He's on Cosmos' side officially, but seems to be striking out on his own with a less than pleasant plan, leading to rumors of him turning his coat against Cosmos.

Yet another EnsembleDarkhorse makes it into ''012''. This time, it's the legendary Gilgamesh from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'', armed with his wide assortment of weapons and the blazing flame of his winning spirit. Contrary to popular belief, Gilgamesh fights for neither Cosmos nor Chaos. Sometime after his banishment by [[YouHaveFailedMe Exdeath]], he wanders into World B from the Rift.

Of course, considering Gilgamesh is an [[invoked]] EnsembleDarkhorse and that's exactly ''why'' he was added to this game, his ridiculous antics are part of why he's so beloved by the fanbase, and what makes him so much fun to play. There's a reason his victory pose has an audience applauding him while confetti falls around him, after all.

* {{Adorkable}}: He's even having a leg cramp when fighting Cloud of Darkness!

* {{Determinator}}: To nearly ridiculous extents. In addition to dealing with the conflict of the gods, [[spoiler:he's been running around killing off his allies to prevent them from being permanently offed by the manikins. Then he faces Exdeath, who retreats while leaving a pack of manikins (in Kain's form) to fight in his stead. He then saves Tifa from Ultimecia. Then he has a YouShallNotPass moment against Golbez and Exdeath (mostly Exdeath, though; [[ReverseMole Golbez really wasn't helping out]]). After this, he's shown to be physically drained, battered, and bruised, and yet he ''drags'' his body to the source of the manikins, catching up to the main group just in time to aid them in a battle that he ''knows'' will -- without a doubt -- lead to his ''death''.]] ''And he gives it his very all, from start to finish''.

* FrickinLaserBeams: The specialty of his Ragnarok Cannon.

** '''[[color:gray:Valefor]]:''' A [[GiantFlyer Flyer]] who can attack with Sonic Wings, which launches a [[WindFromBeneathMyWings blast of wind]] and her overdrives [[FrickinLaserBeams Energy Ray]] and [[MagicMissileStorm Energy Blast]].

* IAintGotTimeToBleed: Takes more wounds and does more running around than the other five 012 heroes ''combined'', bar ''maybe'' Lightning.

* TheSouthpaw: Kain's a lefty.

* {{Tomboy}}: Very, very much so.

** TomboyAndGirlyGirl: When comparing the two female monks, Prishe is clearly very much a tomboy. By contrast, Tifa is a relative GirlyGirl by comparison, at least in terms of personality; Tifa's appearance is slightly tomboyish, but she has a rather girly personality in comparison to Prishe.

** SixthRangerTraitor: Seemingly.

* PurpleEyes: Revealed whenever his helmet isn't on.

* WomanInWhite: In her 2P costume.
