History Characters / GranblueFantasyEvokers

* MultipleEndings: All of the Evokers’ Level 100 Fate Episodes have both a Good/True Ending and a Bad Ending depend on the dialogue choices you take. Of course, you have to get the Good Ending in those Fate Episodes if you want to unlock their 4th skill.

* GratuitousEnglish: The only one out of the Arcarum series and the entire Japanese cast of the game to solely speak English.

* NotSoSimilar: When confronting the ear-collecting serial killer in his ''Tales of Arcanum'' event, Lobelia states they're cut from the same cloth as they're both [[SerialKiller serial killers]] that [[CollectorOfTheStrange collect stuff from their victims]]. He later proves himself wrong by showing the ear collector his own cycle of life and death, "tears" his ears off asking if he's happy looking at his own (also because Lobelia wanted retribution for him trying to cut off the Captain's ear), and later states that he doesn't understand the mind of a murderer after handing him over to the authorities.

* NotSoSimilar: When confronted by the ear-collecting serial killer in his ''Tales of Arcanum'' event, the ear collector states that the two are cut from the same cloth as they both kill for the thing they desire. However, Lobelia has stopped his serial-killing ways as he already found the one thing he desires the most, the sound of his own death. To hammer in the difference, Lobelia shows the ear collector his own cycle of life and death, tears his ears off asking if he's happy looking at his own (also because he's mad about him trying to cut off the Captain's ear), and later states that he doesn't understand the mind of a murderer.

** To Threo of the eternals. Both are attack style Earth characters and obsessed with power. However, Threo sees power as a way to survive and live while [[spoiler:Lobelia wants power so he can kill more people]].
** He's also one to Niyon. Both are audiophiles who enjoy sounds and melodies, but while Niyon dislikes noises and loves gentle melodies from people like the captain, Lobelia [[spoiler:takes joy from hearing the sound people made when he kills them, even keeping a collection of them.]]

[[folder: Lobelia]]

* AffablyEvil: Very polite and courteous, and aside from a few moments of LaughingMad, still remains affable even when he's [[spoiler:preventing the Captain from drawing their weapon by threatening Lyria's life.]]
* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:He has an absolutely ''deranged'' obsession with killing.]]

* BeneathNotice: [[spoiler:Once he reached adulthood, Lobelia realized his "genius" would attract unwanted attention that could interfere with his pursuit of happiness, thus he decided to lay low and conduct himself like a normal person while secretly indulging in killing. Even after making a pact with The Tower and escalating his killing into a new height, others fail to connect how the natural disaster level destructions he caused can be done by a single man.]]
* BodyBackupDrive: [[spoiler:How he get out of The Tower's punishment. He created a body out of Audiomancy to take the punishment for him while he get out. However, due to Lobelia liking the punishment so much, he keeps his nerves connected to the body as to feel the same pain his clone is experiencing.]]
* BookEnds: [[spoiler:Lobelia's SerialKiller way began when he heard the sound made by his broken bones. It ends when he discovered his own death sound is the sound he has always looking for after being killed and revived numerous times by The Tower.]]
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Lobelia's parents taught him everybody deserve to be happy, and he took their lesson to heart. The problem is [[spoiler:Lobelia can only be happy when hearing the sound made by dying people, and he felt delighted with no sense of guilt when testing out his Audiomancy power on his parents.]]

* CollectorOfTheStrange: He has a collection of conch shells which house recorded voices of people he met. [[spoiler:To be more precise, the records of the death sounds made by people he met and killed.]]
* DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler:After being killed and revived numerous times by The Tower, Lobelia discovered the death sound that brings him the most joy turns out to be his own all along. Losing interest in the death sounds of others, Lobelia begs the Captain to let him join the crew, willing to do anything within his and The Tower's own power just for a chance to be the Captain's follower.]]

* FloralThemeNaming: A [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobelia Lobelia]] in the language of flowers [[spoiler:represents malevolence, connecting to his murderous intent]].

** To Seofon of the Eternals. Both are the token human adult male of their group. Both have [[SmugSmiler annoying smug faces]]. Both are jokesters who often end up being the [[ButtMonkey butt of jokes]], but in reality they are [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass a lot more powerful than their silly antics suggest]]. Both are very guilty of GratuitousForeignLanguage (Seofon being Spanish, Lobelia being French). Both possess a rare variant of magic in which they are the sole user (Seofon with his spectral swords, Lobelia with his Audiomancy). Both also like collecting objects of their fascination. However, while Seofon is the embodiment of WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility, Lobelia [[spoiler: [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity holds no restraint]] in using his destructive Audiomancy magic]]. Seofon is a swordsman while Lobelia is a magician, Seofon deeply cares for his fellow Eternals and those he consider friends, Lobelia [[spoiler: [[ItsAllAboutMe only cares about satisfying himself]], no matter the lives he kill in his pursuit of personal happiness.]] Even ''Grand Blues'' took notice of their similarity and thus featured them as the first [[http://game-a1.granbluefantasy.jp/assets_en/img/sp/assets/comic/episode/episode_1449.jpg Eternals-Evokers character interaction]] so far.

** Interestingly, to his own Arcarum Primal Beast, The Tower. [[spoiler:Both are destructive beings with great power that enable them to cause castatrophic destruction. The Tower was made by The Inchoate World in order to bring the destruction of the old world, in which The Tower sees as only a duty it has to fulfill and feels nothing special about it. In contrast, Lobelia was born into a relative normal life until his StartOfDarkness, and he treats causing destruction only as a way to satisfy himself, not out of any special mission or meaning. Lobelia reveres The Tower like a savior uplifting him from petty killings, The Tower however treats Lobelia like a tool for a mean, and it remains indifferent even when killing and reviving Lobelia repeatedly for failing to fulfill the price of its pact.]]

* TheHedonist: [[spoiler:Lobelia is obssessed with the sound of pain, suffering, or more specifically - the sound of a dying person. It got to the point where he willingly torments and kills people just to record their sound and satisfy himself.]]

* ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler:When confronted by the crew, Lyria claims the people he killed in pursuit of happiness also have the right to be happy, in which Lobelia refutes by saying [[{{Hypocrite}} he's not enough of a push over to tend for others' need.]]]]
* ItWasWithYouAllAlong: [[spoiler:The death sound that makes him the happiest turns out to be his own. Finding that out alone is enough for him to put an end to his SerialKiller way.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:As the final price of his pact with The Tower, he is subjected to the very same methods of killing as his own victims, with The Tower regenerating him back from the brink of death. Somewhat subverted as he ''loves'' every second of it.]]

* MagicMusic: A variant. Lobelia is the sole user of a rare variant of magic he dubbed Audiomancy. He can record sounds and voices from people into conch shells, use his conch shells like telephone to communicate with others from a distance, and above all [[spoiler:he can use his Audiomancy to kill people with extreme precision by the snap of a finger.]]

* NotSoDifferentRemark: With a dash of LeaningOnTheFourthWall. [[spoiler:During their confrontation, Lobelia claims he and [[PlayerCharacter the Captain]] are alike in how they too can derive happiness from causing destruction when fighting the primal beasts inside the memories of the War. Vyrn and Lyria deny his claim, whether it's true or not depends on the player's interpretation.]]
-->'''Lobelia''': [[spoiler:Surely you all know it to be true. (Player name) dealt out destruction countless times during the War, or at least a memory of it. No matter what enemies appeared, you laid them low effortlessly without a moment's hesitation.]]
-->'''Vyrn''': [[spoiler:That's 'cause you fooled us! (Player name) wasn't just [[ForTheLulz destroyin' stuff for kicks!.]]]]
-->'''Lobelia''': [[spoiler:But you did have fun, didn't you? Your heart raced, and you trembled with anticipation. Testing strategies on each powerful foe until-in the end-you could destroy it... [[WhatTheHellPlayer That was fun for you, wasn't it?]] You can be honest. That's what happiness is after all!.]]
* PersonOfMassDestruction: [[spoiler:He's still pretty powerful before his pact with The Tower, capable of killing people only with a snap of a finger. After his pact with The Tower, he turned from a deranged SerialKiller into full on ''Mass Murderer'' capable of causing catastrophic destruction.]]

* PureIsNotGood: The game described his smile as "pure, boyish" [[spoiler:even when revealing his true colors and grisly deeds to the Captain.]]
* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:His murder spree started with his parents ''just so he could understand what their screams of pain would be like''.]]
* SerialKiller: [[spoiler:He kills lots of people and keeps a collection of their death sounds. He has supposedly killed 200 people alone, and after making a pact with The Tower, he escalated into leveling ''towns'' to the point people think his aftermath was caused by natural calamities instead of the work of a single man.]]

* TheSociopath: [[spoiler:Most Evokers have tragedies befalling them to make them who they are. Lobelia has none, he's already deranged from the start. Killing people and hearing their death sounds make him ''HAPPY''.]]
* StrongAndSkilled: [[spoiler:For a maniac who gets off to the death sound of others, Lobelia is surprisingly skilled with his Audiomancy, not just for destroying people with extreme precision, but also to record voices, transmit messages in real time like telephone, even developing a {{Hammerspace}} to store his conch shell collection and somehow capable of creating a BodyBackupDrive complete with a nervous system. His pact with The Tower didn't turn him from weak to strong, it turned him from strong to even stronger. Where most Evokers fate episode have them summon their respective Arcarum Primal Beasts to combat the crew, Lobelia actually has the guts to fight [[BadassCrew the crew]] personally instead of relying on [[HumongousMecha The Tower]].]]

* TeenGenius: He was pampered and loved as the pride of his magician family thanks to his prodigious talent in magic [[spoiler:before the event that made him kill his family in pursuit of happiness.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: [[spoiler:He is the TokenEvilTeammate of a group made of [[TokenEvilTeammate Token Evil Teammates]] compared to other Granblue character groups. That should say something about him.]]
* TooKinkyToTorture: In his first appearance, he was clearly enjoying every moment he gets hit by the bandits. [[spoiler:He still also enjoys being killed over and over again by The Tower.]]

* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Lobelia doesn't really discriminate in his killings, consider he has things like "Boy Playing on the Beaches of Auguste" and "Girl Living in the Woods" in his conch shells collection. He also stops the Captain from drawing their weapon by threatening Lyria's life.]]

'''Charge Attack''': Power Conflagration, Seaside Reflection (Summer Skin)

'''Charge Attack''': L'Ouverture de la Douleur, La Cadence du Marteau (Summer Skin)

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her default outfit beneath her Evoker robe is quite revealing, especially when compared with her more conservatively dressed fellow Erune Nier.

* BoobsOfSteel: As per female Draph standard, Maria is quite notably busty, and she's a more offensive-oriented character compared to fellow Water-elemental Evoker Haaselia, who's a Harvin and a support-oriented character.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Maria Theresa's regal air, mature behavior and [[BoobsOfSteel assets]] make it hard to believe she's only 17 years old.

* ImageSong: She has one, fittingly titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V288kKCowoE "Fatal Love".]]

* IJustWantToBeNormal: [[spoiler:After killing his biological family, he started wishing that he was a normal child and not the intelligent genius he was. He got his wish by turning into a relatively normal 10-year-old after being put into amnesia by The Hanged Man.]][[This doesn't last however, and by the point of the final battle against Inchoate World he's back to his intelligent self.]]

* BonusBoss: It was the exclusive raid boss for attendees of the Tokyo Game Show 2015 where all players teamed up to fight it. Its summon is the reward for doing so. When Arcarum was later re-implemented, he is now the bonus boss in Amalthea Island. Defeating him grants players to access the Arcarum minigame and collect the rest of the Arcarum summons.

* TheDogBitesBack: She lets Death kill the rest of her family when it's clear to her that her family will never accept her at all. [[AssholeVictim No sympathy is given to them]] even as Nier mourned at the fact that she wasn't loved.

* BreakOutCharacter: She is the most popular Evoker out of all of them, though being extremely useful in Dark teams has boosted her popularity as well. As of 2020, she’s the most crafted Evoker, beating out Alanaan who is usually crafted for his own usefulness in Fire teams. She was the second to only female character to make it into the otherwise male character dominated Valentine’s poll, clocking in at #10 (the only other female character in the results was Vikala at #2) and also the only Evoker to show up among the most starred/perpetuity ringed characters ranking.

** Also to Seofon of the Ten Eternals, in that both are {{ButtMonkey}}s to their respective groups. The difference is that Seofon is the ButtMonkey in TheFriendNobodyLikes sense while [[spoiler:Maria Theresa's life has become a big {{Irony}} in one way and another]]. Another is that Seofon takes his bad luck with stride and cheer, he may complain about it but he went through it all with an easy going attitude. [[spoiler:Maria Theresa, meanwhile... [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife not so much]]]].

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: [[spoiler:The Moon made Haaselia admit she is not object of populace admiration material like her brother, and the things she'd do for the sake of her revenge would only make her look worse, so she needs to use her brother [[HundredPercentAdorationRating Katzelia]] as the face of her Empire and the scapegoat for her dirty works.]]

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Was very beloved by the commoners and especially members of his orchestra (which was also composed of commoners). Even in his exilement, the people of the slum where he's hiding absolutely adore and revere him as King, thanks to the things he did for their community. [[spoiler:This is the reason why his sister Haaselia seeks to exploit him by helping him become the Emperor in her place, and uses his love for her to become the shadow Empress.]]

* TokenGoodTeammate: The only one in a group of ((TokenEvilTeammate}}s no less! She helped the crew out [[spoiler:and performed a HeroicSacrifice near the end of her Fate Episodes to save the Captain's life even if it meant going against the pact she had with Justice in the process. She's also the only one among the Evokers so far who has not killed anybody and personally apologized to the crew in a private moment by herself for having to lie to them and getting them involved with her situation]]. ''However,'' [[spoiler:this becomes muddied with her fifth uncap episode at level 100, where she personally kills her twin sister in a bloody coup and takes her place as the rightful empress.]]

* TokenGoodTeammate: The only one in a group of ((TokenEvilTeammate}}s no less! She helped the crew out [[spoiler:and performed a HeroicSacrifice near the end of her Fate Episodes to save the Captain's life even if it meant going against the pact she had with Justice in the process. She's also the only one among the Evokers so far who has not killed anybody and personally apologized to the crew in a private moment by herself for having to lie to them and getting them involved with her situation]].

* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Nier was a simple girl content with life until her younger and more talented sister was born, taking away the love of Nier's parents from her. Then it got [[FromBadToWorse worse]] [[LoveMakesYouEvil from]] [[SelfMadeOrphan there.]] And as of her fifth uncap, she becomes even ''[[UpToEleven WORSE than that.]]''

** Nier's fifth uncap ramps up her yandere tendencies UpToEleven, best shown in her level 100 fate episode that has ''three'' bad endings that can occur if you pick the wrong choices, and all but one of them involve a gruesome death at her hands.

* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Nier was a simple girl content with life until her younger and more talented sister was born, taking away the love of Nier's parents from her. Then it got [[FromBadToWorse worse]] [[LoveMakesYouEvil from]] [[SelfMadeOrphan there.]]

* {{Yandere}}: According to her fate episode, she has a closet full of ex-boyfriends. She also doesn't take rejections well, as her ex-boyfriends and the captain found out. When the captain rejected her love and defeated Death's attempt on their life, she committed suicide by ordering Death to kill her. Fittingly, her weapon proficiencies are daggers and axes.

* EyesAlwaysShut: He rarely opens his eyes, even in his artworks, or his in-game sprites. In fact, because of these, it's safe to say that he doesn't even open them anymore.
