History Characters / FullMetalDaemonMuramasaCivilians

* BadBoss: Upon learning that the trash crew to found two intruders in the dumping ground, he asks why it took ''them'' and not the actual guards to find the pair. Learning that the guards won't go near the place because they think it's haunted, he tells them they're all going in the incinerator next time this happens, and this time he'll just [[MakeAnExampleOfThem throw their captain in]].

* WarIsHell: The first of several TragicVillains whose lives and sanity were ruined by the war.

* RapeAsDrama: After easily dismembering Konatsu, Suzukawa forces him to rape her on pain of having the same thing done to him, even using his tsurugi's power to force blood into his penis when he can't become erect and implicitly using said powers to [[PeoplePuppets force them to move. This is not presented as erotic, but as a clear violation of both of them, intended to both horrify the reader and underline the sheer powerlessness of normal people to oppose a musha.

* RapeAsDrama: Suzukawa threatens to dismember him as he did Konatsu if he doesn't rape her, even using his tsurugi's power to force blood into his penis when he can't become erect and implicitly using said powers to [[PeoplePuppets force them to move. This is not presented as erotic, but as a clear violation of both of them, intended to both horrify the reader and underline the sheer powerlessness of normal people to oppose a musha.

* DrivenToMadness: He started out as a good man who loved his country and his wife and child, but was forced not only to watch Yamato being vitiated by the Rokuhara Shogunate after their brutal takeover, but his wife and child died before his eyes because Rokuhara-caused food and medicine shortages weakened them to the point where they were killed by a simple flu. Falling into despair, he came to believe this ugly, corrupt world (as exemplified by Rokuhara) ruins and devours everything beautiful and that he should have killed his family while they were still beautiful instead of watching them wither away in suffering while he was powerless to stop them. From that it was an easy jump to the belief that the the only way to preserve the beautiful things he loves is to kill them himself while they're still beautiful so the world can't defile and feast upon them. And he loves kids and their youthful idealism most of all.
* EvilStoleMyFaith: First Rokuhara viciously took over his beloved Yamato and devoted its resources to conquest instead of the people, then his wife and daughter died due to the subsequent lack of food and medicine. Slow, painful deaths because the only thing he had left was hope that God would spare them. Now Suzukawa doesn't believe in ''anything'', least of all hope.

* JustAMachine: Unable to see Shinkai as anything but an OS, and tells it to shut up when it offers insights beyond help in battle. However, at the very end of the battle with Muramasa, Shinkai tells him that their death is inevitable and suggests to simply accept it with grace and he seems to take it to heart.

* MaskOfSanity: While seems like a cool headed teacher most of the time, it all hides a dangerously unstable mind.

* TragicVillain: If his country hadn't been taken over and ravaged by a pack of evil conquerors and his wife and child hadn't died slow, horrible deaths before his eyes, he'd still be the good man he pretends to be.

* BlindedByTheLight: As part of a joint plan between her and her father, she has Avenger angle itself in a certain way causing the sun to reflect off it, blinding the rival racer using the Ultima, causing a fatal crash that also took out part of the audience stands, killing several innocents.

* DaddysGirl: She'll do anything her father needs her to in order to make his racing dreams come true. Not even her own body is as important to her. In fact, she considers herself an extension of his body.

* DoingItForTheArt: Avenger, his racing crux design is completely bizarre by the standards of anyone with any knowledge of design. However, Suguru was willing to get it made no matter what he had to sacrifice--even if that sacrifice was his sister's virtue.

* TragicVillain:

* ParentalAbandonment: His father died shortly after the birth of Misao, and his step mother abandoned the familym leaving him to raise Misao.

* DaddysGirl: She'll do anything her father needs her to in order to make his racing dreams come true. Not even her own body is as important to her.

* AceCustom: He designed a special racing crux specifically for Misao to drive. Deconstructed in that it's so avant garde that the only way he could get any support/funding for it was to prostitute Misao out to numerous Tamura executives for sponsorship.

* PromotionToParent: After their parents died, he took over the role of Misaos father due to the vast gap in their age and her young age at the time, to the point that she almost sees him as her real father.

* WorthIt: He figures that finally getting the chance to dominate the Yamato crux races with his own personal design and take on the world stage once more is worth pressuring Miso into having rough sex with a bunch of slimy executives. And such is poor Misao's devotion to him that she agrees.

* AceCustom: He designed a special racing crux specifically for Misao to drive. Deconstructed in that it's so avant garde that the only way he could get any support/funding for it was to prostitute Misao out to

* BrotherSisterTeam: She and Suguru are actually brother and sister, with her working to help achieve his goals.

* ExtremeDoormat: When it comes to her father she will do anything he asks of her without complaint, regardless of its moral, ethical or just self preserving issues.

* BrokenAce: Was once one of the best crux racers around but eventually had to retire as his age started to catch up to him. This rendered him bitter and blindly determined to have Misao accomplish what he couldn't in his stead, even if he has to resort to murder or make a deal with Ginseigo.
* BrotherSisterTeam: He and Misao are siblings, working together to help realize his dreams.

* LivingEmotionalCrutch: After the horrific things Suzukawa put her through, she lies on her bed in a haze, not reacting to anything in the outside world...but then her parents mention Yuhi Nitta and she remembers the defiant words he threw at Suzukawa about how their bond as friends couldn't be broken and that they had lost ''nothing'' in the face of his cruelty, how he would support them no matter what happened. Her life suddenly has meaning once more as she starts to remember him and her parents promise that he'll be able to visit her soon. But then something terrible happens that no one talks to her about and she finds herself not wanting to know. A strange man visits her in her hospital room and shows her, not just Yuhi Nitta's death notice, but the name of the man who killed him. And now the memories come flooding back, of Yuhi and [[BelatedLoveEpiphany now she sees that all she'd wanted before was to be with him and she never realized it]]...and then the face and form of Kageaki Minato, the "cop" who killed him flares into her memory like a beacon. The strange man offers her a chance at revenge. [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge She accepts]].

* CareerEndingInjury: At the end of the first chapter, Suzukawa, aware of his dream to be a pilot, proceeds to gouge out his eyes in order to teach him despair.
* ChildhoodFriends: Alongside Konatsu, he's one of Yuhi most important friends, who knows him since childhood.

* ExtremeDoormat: when it comes to her father she will do anything he asks of her without complaint, regardless of its moral, ethical or just self preserving issues.

* ShootingSuperman: At first he shoots Kageaki thinking he is just in a regular racing crux as they can't bloc bullets. However, even after he reveals Muramasa underneath all that extra armor, Suguru keeps shooting him even though a gun has no hope against a true tsurugi.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Downplayed example, he is in fifties but looks about ten years younger due to a youthful appearance post-puberty being a racial trait of the Emishi. Though given their short life spans, he is positively ancient by their standards, thus his body is more aged than a human of comparable years would be.

* PowerFist: He managed to save a piece of the Masamune tsurugi, shattered when Ukyo Nagasaka detonated the seal on the mine. Though incomplete, it's enough for him to be able to form a gauntlet with a sword, which he uses to fight Ukyo.

* FlorenceNightingaleSyndrome: Fuki is implied to have developed a PrecociousCrush on Kageaki while helping him recuperate from his disastrous first battle with Fuma and Nagasaka.

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Unable to see Shinkai as anything but an OS, and tells it to shut up when it offers insights beyond help in battle.

* HandicappedBadass: In the ''Nemesis'' route. Sticking her in a tsurugi and pumping her full of crazy drugs and pointing her at the man she hated more than anythin in the world made her downright handicapable.

* TookALevelInBadass: She went from a normal high student to a limbless high school student to the the pilot of the headpiece of a giant multi-part tsurugi designed for the sole purpose of allowsing the pilots of its various parts to destroy Kageaki Minato and Muramasa. Most high school students can barely get a paper route!

* {{Cyborg}}: In the ''Nemesis'' route, she and four other people connected to innocents Kageaki has slain are all wired into one big tsurugi in order to get revenge.

* PsychoSerum: It is heavily implied that the reason she and the others that made up Guts Eidar were so unhinged was due to them being pumped so full of drugs meant to boost their physical traits that they couldn't think straight.

* InadequateInheritor: Kageaki notes what a shame it is that such a famed tsurugi should happen to end up in the hands of a guy like Suzukawa, both because of the deeds he performs with it and the fact that he can barely fly it properly.

* EvilStoleMyFaith: First Rokuhara viciously took over his beloved Yamato and devoted its resources to conquest instead of the people, then his wife and daughter died due to a lack of food and medicine. Slow, painful deaths because the only thing he had left was hope that God would spare them. Now Suzukawa doesn't believe in ''anything'', least of all hope.

* InadequateInheritor: Kageaki notes what a shame it is that such a famed tsurugi should happen to end up in the hands of a guy like Suzukawa.

* StarterVillain: He is the first villain encountered in the story, and as he is fairly weak by most metrics he ends up simply being a simple workout for Kageaki.

* BerserkButton: After Kageaki inaccurately calls him a servant of Rokuhara, Suzukawa's frustration at not being able to fight him properly give way to rage and inspires him to use use Shinkai's shinogi to splash his own blood on Kageaki's face guard, [[CurbStopCushion surprising and temporarily blinding him]].
