History Characters / Karneval

* TheResenter: Towards Akari. [[http://z.mfcdn.net/store/manga/4533/06-035.0/compressed/okarneval_v006_c035_p006_l.o.v.e..jpg]]

* CelibateHero: In chapter 12, Yogi mentions how cool Gareki can be when [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/karneval/v02/c012/12.html Gareki easily shoots down a bracelet in a booth that Yogi had been trying to get, and how he probably has several girlfriends]]. However, we see no evidence that Gareki's interested in girls, or romance in general.

** Another time this happens is in chapter 35 when [[spoiler:Azana betrays and tries to kill Akari]]. He doesn't [[DissonantSerenity smile]] this time or have any [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic remarks]], but he knocks [[spoiler:Azana]] away and calmly states the punishment for attacking someone of [[spoiler:SSS rank]] before attacking. If [[spoiler:Akari]] hadn't stopped him, he would have killed [[spoiler:Azana]] without a second thought or any emotion on his face at all despite his anger. [[spoiler: [[http://mangafox.me/manga/karneval/v06/c035/7.html Do not dare to hurt Akari.]]]]

* CrossPoppingVeins: When he is angry but not yelling [[http://mangafox.me/manga/karneval/v05/c025/16.html Here]]

* MessyHair: He actually looks younger and nicer with it. [[http://mangafox.me/manga/karneval/v04/c020/9.html]]

* NamesToTrustImmediately: Part of the Vinto arc was about how the drugs were distributed because someone was using his name. [[http://mangafox.me/manga/karneval/v06/c035/6.html]]

* HeroicAlbino

-->'''Voiced by:''' TomoakiMaeno (Japanese), Creator/JasonLiebrecht (English)

* [[spoiler: HumanityEnsues: Originally a cute animal called a Niji, he was somehow transformed into a human in an as of yet unspecified way. ]]

* [[spoiler:RidiculouslyCuteCritter: In Niji form.]]

* BadassNormal

* DarkAndTroubledPast

* TheSmartGuy: Despite the implication of his street savvy, Gareki's shown and later noted to read frequently during his time in Circus, which heightens the poignancy when what he was reading up on is revealed in a conversation with Hirato in chapter 38. His skills as an unsung GadgeteerGenius backs this position up further.

* TheGunslinger: What he might be, if Circus allowed him to use his gun.
* {{Tsundere}}: Gareki can be a Type A, especially when Yogi teases him. Also to Nai, though less violently.
* HealthcareMotivation: [[spoiler: He originally got into thieving to pay for his foster grandfather's medical bills.]]

* [[spoiler:EvilTwin: It's very possible that the Karoku who is working for Kafka is this to the one who took care of Nai.]]

* [[spoiler: ManipulativeBastard]]

* [[spoiler:PsychicLink: He seems to be able to communicate with Nai this way under certain circumstances.]]

* [[spoiler:TraumaInducedAmnesia: After he's rescued from Kafka by Circus, his memories become so scrambled that he entirely forgets his relationship with Nai. Dr. Akari suggests it's because of the stress of his previous circumstances.]]

* [[spoiler: YourDaysAreNumbered: Implied. A servant of the Kafka manor where he is staying comments that it's a waste to feed him.]]
* [[spoiler:YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Implied when he suddenly tells Nai through their telepathic communications that he's going to be killed soon if Nai doesn't come rescue him.]]

* DarkAndTroubledPast:[[spoiler: The cause of both his SplitPersonality and TraumaInducedAmnesia.]] It was a good life at first, and then everything went to hell.

* [[spoiler:EscapedFromTheLab]]: As his backstory reveals; though he was technically ''rescued'' from it, he'd [[spoiler:killed all the workers there by the time he was found by Circus... and taken right back to ''their'' lab]]. Poor kid.

* TraumaInducedAmnesia: [[spoiler: He doesn't remember the first 10 years of his life because of the terrible experiences he went through as a child. His other self seems to have retained some memories, but disregards them as ''nightmares'']].

* [[spoiler: DiesWideOpen: At the end of episode 9, courtesy of Karoku. However, by the start of episode 10, [[DisneyDeath she was later]] [[BackFromTheDead brought back to life by Hirato.]]]]

* SugarAndIcePersonality

* BareTheMidriff: Occasionally.

* LipstickLesbian
* MsFanservice

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]

* [[spoiler:HiddenDepths]]: While he comes off as much more laid-back than Hirato and Akari, [[spoiler:his expression turns quite sinister at one point when he asks Tsubame what she's willing to sacrifice to protect the people around her.]]

* LargeHam
* HeavySleeper/NotAMorningPerson

* BrattyHalfPint

* ThirdPersonPerson

* CurtainsMatchTheWindows

* SitcomArchnemesis: Mainly to Hirato.
* TheStoic: [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/bf8ccd2dc612a62f323ee0365bd82bb3/tumblr_mq908gsHNT1soxrufo1_500.jpg]]

* TwitchyEye: [[http://31.media.tumblr.com/9f44d3b2584dd723af599f8505162d9a/tumblr_mnxuk76XLc1s4hbkyo1_500.gif]] [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/861c5a23eec6bedd1ffd744955ea1e6f/tumblr_mqo5mxJLzm1s159djo2_500.gif]]

* NoSenseOfHumor: Once again lampshaded by Tokikatsu in a omake. [[http://z.mfcdn.net/store/manga/4533/09-054.5/compressed/j005.jpg Here]]
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist[=/=]SuperDoc: Not only does he have medical knowledge, he also has knowledge and does research concerning biology, archeology, genetics and pharmacology as he is the Research Tower´s Research Chief Specialist. Relating to his medical knowledge he is also a surgeon, an expert in emergency medicine, fixing fractures, making his own medicine (Yogi's allergy patch). That indeed takes a lot of different medical specialties. No wonder he is a SSS rank.
* ProudElite

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow

* BigBrotherInstinct: Big time for Tsubame.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold

* [[spoiler: TragicMonster]]

* [[spoiler: TheAtoner: Sort of. After losing her brother in a very nasty way and knowing that he was sacrificing himself for her, she becomes determined to help in stopping Kafka]]
* [[spoiler: BreakTheCutie: Everything to do with her brother's death.]]

* NiceGirl

* ParentalSubstitute

-->'''Voiced by:''' YuuichiNakamura (Japanese), Creator/AaronDismuke (English)

* NiceGuy

* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler: Of the tragedy in his home country]].

* AfraidOfDoctors: Specifically of Doctor Akari, to the point of amusement for the audience. Becomes less amusing once the details of his DarkAndTroubledPast [[spoiler: as an experimental subject in various medical and biotechnological research labs for a good part of his childhood]] are revealed, though admittedly he [[LaserGuidedAmnesia doesn't remember them]].

* CheerfulChild: Though his age is unknown. He could be anywhere from 11 to 15, really.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted, he is incredibly naive and would barely hurt a fly [[spoiler:unless an animal was about to kill Karoku.]]

* [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Ice Lord]]: Nai (unwittingly) and Yogi (determined) together with other Circus members have gotten him to open up considerably.

* {{Tsundere}}: Gareki can be a Type A male version, especially when Yogi teases him.
** In fact, both Yogi and Tsukumo are awestruck at his [[spoiler:surprising innocence regarding snow (which he had never seen)]] at one point in the manga.

* AloofBigBrother
** [[spoiler:Subverted in chapter 52, where he breaks down in tears when Nai is close to death.]]
* BandageBabe: He's always in bandages in-story for undisclosed reasons.

* NiceGuy: Nai thinks of him as "as warm as the sun". [[spoiler: Later events hint that there is something sinister about him]]
** [[spoiler: Turns out he was a nice guy, it's just that there were two Karoku's.]]

** [[spoiler:YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Implied when he suddenly tells Nai through their telepathic communications that he's going to be killed soon if Nai doesn't come rescue him.]]

* FatherToHisMen

* ManipulativeBastard
** MagnificentBastard: exhibits shades of this, as he always seems to have a plan and is one step ahead of everyone else.

** Ymmv, but he also has shades of TeamDad and AFatherToHisMen. His affection for his crew is more concealed than most examples of thiese tropes, and may manifest in strange ways (due to his love of provoking others), but he does things like buying candy and souvenirs for Nai and arranging for Gareki to attend school in the hopes of getting his license to officially join Circus. These tendencies are perhaps best viewed in his interactions with Tsukumo, though ymmv on whether you read those in a romantic context or not.

* StoicGlasses: Hirato fits this to a T.
* TranquilFury: Though almost impossible to read most the time, he has a moment of this as early as chapter 14 when, after Yotaka fought against and injured Yogi, he pursued the person responsible and just after talking with him calmly, says, "It is enjoyable to torment, isn't it?", (even sporting a [[DissonantSerenity pleasant smile]] to boot) before having his banshees ''tear him apart''.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Unarguably the nicest character in the story: always willing to help out when he can, loves children, and is very apologetic and genuinely saddened when they have to kill someone.

* AfraidOfNeedles: Specifically of Doctor Akari's treatments, to the point of amusement for the audience. Becomes less amusing once the details of his DarkAndTroubledPast [[spoiler: as an experimental subject in various medical and biotechnological research labs for a good part of his childhood]] are revealed.

* AfraidOfNeedles: Specifically, of Doctor Akari to the point of amusement for the audience. It's probably because of a traumatic surgery, as Gareki guesses.
* AfterActionPatchup: Almost in all his battles especially Rinoll and Merumerai.

** CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass

* TheDitz
** {{Keet}}: Except during serious fights/situations, he's always bright, loud, cheerful and sports a childish streak a mile wide. However, [[HarsherInHindsight later events in the manga hint that]] this is likely due to [[spoiler: the ten-year gap in his memories]].
** SunnySunflowerDisposition
* DarkAndTroubledPast:[[spoiler: The cause of both his SplitPersonality and TraumaInducedAmnesia. It started out pretty well, then it all went to hell.]]
* DualWielding
* FriendToAllChildren

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Unarguably the nicest person in the series, on par with [[ChildrenAreInnocent Nai]].
** NiceGuy
* HeroicBSOD:[[spoiler: Finding the decapitated corpses of his caretakers as a child. Relives it again when his memories return]]
* HiddenDepths: Yogi can be melodramatic and flamboyant one moment, then more serious than Kiichi the next. There's definitely a lot of this going on here, and it's slowly revealed over the course of the series.

* TraumaInducedAmnesia: [[spoiler: He doesn't remember the first 10 years of his life, due to various reasons. His other self seems to have retained some memories though, but disregards them as ''nightmares'']]
* PointlessBandAid: Averted. It's actually a medicinal patch that administers allergy medicine. [[spoiler: And also strangely keeps his split personality in check.]]

* [[spoiler:SplitPersonality: His usually gold hair turns silver as an indication.]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Can become pretty {{Badass}} when the need calls for it, despite his default NiceGuy persona.

* GreenThumb: Yogi's weapons are two thorn-like épées, and he can conjure up thorny vines with them as well. Combined with ScarfOfAsskicking in chapter 19, whereupon [[spoiler:the {{Badass}} split personality of Yogi saves Gareki from the split personality's own attack this way.]]

** {{Keet}}: He's 21 and acts like he's 10. [[HarsherInHindsight This is probably due to the fact that]] [[spoiler: he's missing ten years of his memories.]]

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Unarguably one of the nicest people in the series, on par with Nai.

* HiddenDepths: Yogi can be melodramatic and flamboyant one moment, then more serious than the First Ship's female fighter the next. There's definitely a lot of this going on here.

* AmbiguouslyGay: His friendship with Gareki is practically romantic.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Shows zero interest in girls romantically and has quite a lot of HoYay with Nai.

* BewareTheNiceOnes

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass

* {{Keet}}

* ManChild: He's 21 and acts like he's 10. [[spoiler: This is probably due to the fact that he's missing ten years of his memories.]]
* NiceGuy

* StepfordSmiler: Somewhat. [[spoiler: Silver!Yogi shows signs of being this]]

* SunnySunflowerDisposition

!!Myumari

* LastOfHisKind: Aside from [[Yogi, she is the only known survivor of the Rimhakka tragedy. The people of her home country harbored a special genetic build-up that granted them cradle powers (without the use of bracelets)]]
* LongLostSibling: To [[Yogi]]
