!!!Debut: ''VideoGame/KidIcarus''
[[quoteright:325:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_423px-250px-pit_uprising_6296.png]]
-->''"Sorry to keep you waiting!"''
The leader of Palutena's personal guard: though he is young, he is the greatest warrior angel in Palutena's forces. While Pit has wings, they're just for decoration. Usually he can't fly—it's a bit of a touchy subject.
* TheAce: It was said in game that he's the most competent member of Palutena's army, that's actually an understatement. He may not be able to fly on his own, but that hasn't stopped him from ''taking on entire armies by himself.'' In addition, he's literally gone through hell and back (as well as earth and space). Magnus notes that Pit is basically the only member of Palutena's army who can pull his own weight. During the course of ''Uprising'', he manages to kick the ass of literally ''everyone with a character portrait'' except for three people. [[labelnote:*]]Poseidon, Viridi, and Dyntos. But all three are justified for different reasons. Poseidon only showed up for Ch 7 to help Pit get to the Seafloor Palace and was never an enemy to begin with. For Viridi, circumstances in the plot forced the two of them to fight alongside each other rather than against each other. And Dyntos is implied to be even more powerful than Hades, who Pit could barely defeat without outside help.[[/labelnote]]
* {{Adorkable}}: You better believe it! His love for Nintendo video games, fanatical loyalty to Palutena, and general goofiness make him endearingly dorky.
* AFatherToHisMen: A sequence of dialogue in chapter 17 shows that he values the centurions' lives more than his own, and perhaps more impressively, the feeling is mutual.
* AffectionateNickname: For a certain use of the word "affectionate", Hades very often calls him "Pitty Pat".
* AintTooProudToBeg: In chapter 23, when faced with the possibility of being [[ToiletHumor defecated]] out of Hades' WombLevel, he absolutely freaks out and resorts to this:
-->'''Pit''': Okay, okay, fine! I give up! Please spare me! ''Please!''
* AllLovingHero: Pit is the kindest and most morally upright character in the game, friendly to everyone he meets. He always tries to see the good in everyone and will often work with his enemies if it means saving people. He will even forgive his enemies if they prove that they can reform. But if you prove to be truly beyond redemption, ''you will die''.
* AlmightyJanitor: Granted he makes use of weapons when not all of his opponents do, but he's still a servant of the gods that takes them on (including his boss) and wins. Though this is only in terms of the Gods he's fighting against. In the idol text and dialogue, he's mentioned to be Captain of the Guard.
* AndIMustScream: In chapter 18, he's stuck in a ring with no way to move or communicate with the outside world and the only way to get help is to hope someone grabs the ring so he can control them. Pit was very lucky that Magnus didn't leave the ring behind.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Downplayed. Pit is quite cocky and is a bit of a showoff, but he's a pretty friendly guy and does not view anyone as beneath him.
* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: Pit's HotBlooded nature can make him quite reckless at times. See NiceJobBreakingItHero.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Is the Captain of Palutena's Guard and the strongest soldier in her army, embarking on many perilous missions by himself.
* BadassAdorable: He's a cute, {{Adorkable}} angel with the mindset and body of a teenager. That said, he is anything but harmless.
* BadassBoast:
** His rally cries are meant to be this, but they don't really impress anyone. However, he can give some pretty good ones such as the one to Medusa and Hades. Special mention, however, goes to Chapter 21, where he and Dark Pit pull a perfectly sychronized BadassBoast by simply FinishingEachOthersSentences.
--> '''Pit:''' Filth of the land, hear our words!\\
'''Dark Pit:''' And see our actions!\\
'''Pit:''' I am Pit! Servant of the Goddess of Light!\\
'''Dark Pit:''' And I am Dark Pit! Servant to none other but myself!\\
'''Both:''' ''Together we will rain death upon you!''\\
'''Dark Pit:''' So anyone who wants to die, step right up!\\
'''Pit:''' And anyone who doesn't want to die, too bad!\\
'''Both:''' ''Aww yeah!''
** There's also the one he gives to Hades during their final battle, right before he vaporizes him with the Great Sacred Treasure's Final Strike.
-->'''Pit''': I fight for all creatures living and breathing! I fight for all departed souls still hanging in limbo! But most of all, I fight for Lady Palutena, the Goddess of Light! And it's in all their names that I will crush you, Lord of the Underworld! I won't let you descerate another soul!
* BadassInCharge: Of the Centurions.
* BadassNormal: Pit has no actual superpowers of his own. All of the powers he uses in the game are granted to him by Palutena or Viridi. Does it diminish his ability to take on powerful gods and towering monsters? You wish.
* BashBrothers: With Dark Pit, eventually.
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Though it's never explained if he can actually breathe while in space. It's entirely possible that Palutena's magic helps him. It should be noted, however, that he cannot breathe underwater as he was very adverse about holding his breath during Chapter 7.
* BattleCry: Pit loves doing this to look cool in front of his opponents. His AR description even says he practices to make them cool. These end up parodied most of the time as they rarely impress or intimidate anyone. Particularly in Chapter 23 where Pit attempts to do the rally cry he and Dark Pit did in chapter 21 by himself only to fail miserably. Hades doesn't miss a beat in Lampshading it.
-->'''Hades:''' My innards have ''so'' longed to hear your battle cry. How could you forget the words?
-->'''Pit:''' I didn't have time to rehearse! I've been busy fighting evil, okay?!
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: A fun trick players can do is have Pit beat a boss with the matching weapon. (Beat Twinbellows with the Twinbellows Cannon, Gaol with the Gaol Blade, Hewdraw with the Hewdraw Club, etc.)
* BerserkButton: Has a few good ones that you should never press.
** Bringing up or mocking why he can't fly is a touchy subject.
** Also, don't make fun of Palutena, don't insult Palutena and definitely don't '''harm''' Palutena in his presence as his reactions range from shock to a very understandably all out rage. When Hades makes jokes or unhappy comments regarding Palutena, Pit understandably goes mad. It's better shown when Hades comments that Pit may have to kill his Goddess in the Chaos Kin Arc and Pit calmly yet in a rather scary tone tells Hades to shut up. Later on when he's performing the trials to obtain the Great Sacred Treasure, Dyntos puts Palutena to sleep and pits a copy of her against Pit. Pit suffice to say is not pleased at all and ends up calling Dyntos out for this act. Thankfully his concern about this copy being the real comes to an end when the copy shows 'her' real face resulting in Pit being happy that he chose to attack. His victory taunt also shows how unimpressed he is with Dyntos for making a copy of Palutena, Dyntos was probably just amused. Upon learning from Viridi that the Chaos Kin was controlling Palutena, Pit becomes enraged.
-->'''Pit:''' Take that you fake![[note]]His victory taunt upon defeating Pseudo-Palutena.[[/note]]
-->'''Pit:''' Where do you think '''YOU'RE''' going?![[note]]During the aerial section and upon finding the real Chaos Kin, Pit becomes very angry when he sees it flee.[[/note]]
-->'''Pit:''' [[YouMonster You're going to pay]] [[ThisIsUnforgivable for what you've done Chaos Kin!]][[note]]Pit's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the Chaos Kin.[[/note]]
** Lastly, don't threaten humanity at all, later on Pit also react the same way if nature is threatened. Medusa, Viridi, Chaos Kin then Hades all learn this the hard way when they each get their turn to be punished. If he's pressed to it, Pit will make you pay for your actions and you'll come to regret it at some point.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a friendly little angel, quick to wisecrack and joke and is one of the nicest guys in the game, but if he's given a reason he can and he ''will'' kick your ass, no matter who you are. And damn if he doesn't make it look awesome.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Pit is probably the biggest ButtMonkey in the entire series, but that does not stop him from being one of the best soldiers in Palutena's Army.
* {{BFG}}: The Great Sacred Treasure's gun, which he uses to finish of Hades, dwarfs his body.
* BifurcatedWeapon: His bow.
* BigEater: Pit eats a lot of food... as long as it isn't eggplants, tempuras or vegetables in general.
* BishieSparkle: Pit sparkles when he does his little speech to Pandora before their battle in ''Uprising''.
* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Notably the only character in the series who runs on this in contrast to everyone else's BlackAndGreyMorality.
* BodyguardingABadass:
** His job as Captain of the Guard is to protect Palutena despite the fact that she's a goddess and is more than capable of taking care of herself. Best exemplified in Palutena's reveal trailer for ''Smash 4''.
** It's more justified in ''Uprising'' since Pit is on of the three strongest characters in the series[[labelnote:*]]Hades exceeds him without the Great Sacred Treasure and Dyntos exceeds them both. Along with everything else in the series, apparently.[[/labelnote]] and Palutena is a GlassCannon at best. Brought to horrifying clarity during the Chaos Kin battle, where Pit can kill Palutena '''by accident''' because she was between him and the Chaos Kin.
* BodyHorror: When Pit is turned into an eggplant or tempura it comes off as this given that he only has legs and can't really fight back. To make matters worse, he can be ''eaten alive'' if he's a tempura, which is one of the only instant KO's' in the game. And then Chapter 18 has him stuck in a ring.
* BodySurf: In Chapter 18, Pit goes from a little girl, to a dog, to Magnus before he manages to reunite with his own body.
* BoisterousBruiser: For the most part, Pit is very confident in his combat abilities and is not easily intimidated in battle.
* BookDumb: "[[NeverLearnedToRead I never learned to reeeead!]]"
* BowAndSwordInAccord: His Bow can separate into twin blades for melee combat, effectively combining the two tropes into one.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Pit constantly lampshades tropes and cliches about the game and its bosses, like how the title "Dark Lord" is overused and so on.
* BreakTheCutie:
** [[WhamEpisode Chapter 18.]] Pit's entire faith in Angel Land and fighting for justice is destroyed in a blink of an eye, the people that considered him Captain are now attacking him, and the BrainwashedAndCrazy Palutena calls him a "puppet" and says she doesn't want to deal with him anymore. He gets over it (for the most part) in the next chapter, but it doesn't change the fact that those words will probably stick with him for a long time.
** It gets worse. Chapter 19, Hades and Viridi constantly lay the smack down of insults on him, and without Palutena to support him, Pit progressively gets quieter with the chapter (but he does get louder when he's asking Viridi if he's at the top of the tower yet). And then comes Chapter 20, where some of his insecurities are let loose as Palutena continues to berate him for being useless and naive. When he finally saves her from the Chaos Kin, though, he has to watch as her soul is ripped out of her and she turns to stone. And when he spends chapter 21 trying to get it back and succeeds with the help of Dark Pit, the Chaos Kin wanted to make sure Pit suffered and tried to take Dark Pit down with him. Pit's response is to dive in and save him, causing his wings to burn up in the process. And even though chapter 23 treats Pit's SanitySlippage moment lightly, given what happened in the previous chapters, it's not hard to think he actually lost it.
* BrokenAngel: His wings burn up in Chapter 21, when he saves Dark Pit from Chaos Kin.
* BuffySpeak: "That sounds hurty."
* BunnyEarsLawyer: A very capable fighter and leader despite his childish ways.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: A heroic example. When confronting Thanatos in Chapter 7, the God of Death is insulted that Pit doesn't remember him, causing the angel to quip that he's faced so many enemies that he can't remember them all.
-->'''Pit:''' Sorry. There's just so many foes and only one of me.
* ButtMonkey: He's this in Uprising where it's quite difficult to find a character that ''doesn't'' make some sort of comment at Pit's expense. Also Lampshaded.
-->'''Pit''': "What is this, "Everybody Pick On Pit" day!?"
* CallOfTheWildBlueYonder: Pit wishes he can fly by himself, instead of having to use the Power of Flight or the Pegasus Wings.
* CarFu: Is more than willing to run over enemies in his [[CoolCar Exo-Tank]].
* CatchPhrase:
** "I'm finished!", [[LampshadeHanging at least according to Palutena]]:
--> '''Palutena''': "Listen to that swagger, you're toughened up nicely. Remember when you'd be like "I'm finished!" all the time?
--> '''Pit''': "I... still say that... a lot..."
** Averted in ''Of Myths and Monsters'' where you just turn into a ghost with a halo and float away.
** Brought back in ''Uprising'''s death screen, complete with the original 8-Bit text and music.
** He also says "Prepare to meet the light" a number of times in Uprising.
* CaptainObvious:
--> '''Pit''': Hey, look! It's an Exo-Tank!
--> '''Hades''': Hey, look! Who cares?
* TheChewToy: Much of the humor in ''Uprising'' comes at his expense.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Pit strives to save everyone he can, no matter whether they are enemy or ally, even if it's to a personal cost to himself. In Chapter 21, he didn't hesitate to save Dark Pit and begged Viridi to activate the Power of Flight knowing full well this would kill him.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Whenever Pit is talking to himself, he comes up with the strangest things imaginable. He even impersonates Palutena and Viridi at one point.
* ColonelBadass: There are multiple references in the game that Pit is one of the higher-ups in Palutena's army. He also notes during the Chaos Kin arc, when replacement MissionControl Viridi acts like he's enlisted under her and commands him to clean latrines, that he's a commissioned officer. Possibly a FourStarBadass instead; it's not shown if anyone besides Palutena outranks Pit.
* CombatPragmatist: While not to Dark Pit's extent, some of the Powers Palutena grants him (I.E. Playing Dead and Vanish) has Pit using some underhanded tactics.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: He's prone to this at times.
* CoolCrown: Wears a Laurel Crown in ''Of Myths and Monsters'', ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', and ''Uprising''.
* CosmicPlaything: A more direct example than most, as the [[JerkassGods forces that be]] ''really are'' ribbing on him mercilessly.
* CovertPervert:
** If this conversation in ''Uprising'' is any indication.
--> '''Palutena:''' That's not all I can see, Pit. I can also see what's in your heart.\\
'''Pit:''' Oh... heh heh. That's really... something...\\
'''Palutena:''' So you'd better not be thinking about anything... ''naughty''.\\
'''Pit:''' What?! How did you--\\
'''Palutena:''' Just kidding! Seriously, reading hearts through laurel crowns?\\
'''Pit:''' [[ImplausibleDeniability I know... I was... also kidding...]]
** The Japanese version has Pit admitting that he is a pervert... just a little bit.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: While he does have plenty of harebrained moments and is a genuine goofball besides, Pit is still much more competent than he lets on.
* DeadpanSnarker: Surprisingly one of the least snarky characters [[WorldOfSnark compared to everyone else]], but he still has his moments.
* DeathIsCheap: He and all of Palutena's army are revived when they die. Unlike the Centurions, Pit is not weak because he has a motivation to toughen up: protect Lady Palutena.
* {{Determinator}}: Pit ''never'' gives up. Not even when the world is in ruins, Palutena has become BrainwashedAndCrazy, and he's been trapped in a ring for three years. Once Pit sets his sight on a mission that he can't afford to give up on, he'll plow through anything that tries to slow him down, best example is during the Chaos Kin Arc when he's in the Chaos Vortex. He flies through the place searching for the Chaos Kin and once Viridi helps him find the real one, he becomes incredibly determined to defeat it even when his Power of Flight is running low on time. Then once on land, he completely tells Viridi that if the only way to defeat the Chaos Kin and save Palutena's soul is to endure several tedious battles that he would outlast all the enemies hurled at him. He does just that for at least half of the time until [[TheCavalry Dark Pit]] shows up to assist. Sure you can slow him down for some time using methods that may seem pretty sound, but Pit will eventually reach you while he's making his way to where you are located and take you out once he finds you.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: It's his job description!
* TheDitz: Downplayed and Subverted. Pit's [[{{CloudcuckooLander}} kooky]], can't read, and [[HotBlooded rushes into fights]], but he's also incredibly experienced in combat and as shown in Chapter 23, he's perfectly capable of coming up with tactics on his own.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Despite his BigEater tendencies, he's shown to ''hate'' vegetables, especially eggplants. This stems from his unpleasant encounters with the Eggplant Wizards.
* DualWielding: His Bow, Claw, and Orbitar weapons all come in pairs.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Unless you count the powers Palutena grants him, he has no superpowers of his own.
* EmptyEyes: In Chapter 18 of ''Uprising'', Pit's body is shown to have these without his soul to guide it.
* EmptyShell: Without his soul, Pit's body is a mindless husk with no emotions or willpower of its own. The Chaos Kin takes advantage of this after imprisoning Pit's soul in a ring, commanding it to indiscriminately kill humans and monsters alike.
* {{Expy}}: Of the two Greek mythology heroes: Icarus and Perseus. With the former, while not a hero, Icarus is notorious for flying too close to the sun and getting his wings burned in the process, leading to his death. This is Pit's fate at the end of Of Myths and Monsters, as well as happening twice in Uprising (chapter 17 and 22). For the latter, the entire story of Perseus from saving his mother figure by slaying Medusa with the help of the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena, with one of the weapons being a shield to protect yourself from Medusa's stare in the original game.
* ExtremeOmnivore: According to Palutena, this angel will eat anything - especially the unusual stuff and "questionable things off the ground".
-->'''Pit:''' [[BreakingtheFourthWall "FLOOR ICE CREAM GIVES YOU HEALTH!"]]
* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: A victim of this at the end of Chapter 21; his wings are horribly burned, to the extent that the ''bones'' are visible.
* FanDisservice: He gets a ShirtlessScene in Chapter 21...because his tunic is burnt up along with his wings, and his wings being burnt have left him critically ill. It flips back into {{Fanservice}} in the next chapter when he's revived via the Rewind Spring, where he shows off quite a muscular physique for someone who looks so young.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Leads to Pit and Dark Pit finishing a motto together in Chapter 21.
* {{Foil}}: For two characters.
** To Magnus. Both are skilled, veteran warriors, but their methods are as different as night and day. Pit is the HotBlooded, "Shoot-first-don't-bother-with-the-questions" guy who charges in guns ablazing while Magnus is the more tactical one, always planning his moves out. This is best shown in Ch 18 where Magnus actually advises Pit on how to proceed.
** To Dark Pit. The two are on opposite ends of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism. Pit is the optimistic idealist who believes in the good of everyone, human and gods alike. Dark Pit, however, is fully aware that humans are bad and the gods are just as worse. Also, while Pit is extremely loyal to Palutena, Dark Pit holds no allegiance to anyone but himself.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Whilst Dyntos is discussing how he added more monsters than necessary to Palutena at the end of Chapter 24, Pit is flying the Great Sacred Treasure in the background... only to then crash on the ground.
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Starts to show shades of this in chapter 23. He even points out that he needs to escape before he really does lose it.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Pit's usually the NiceGuy most of the time, but if Palutena gives the order to fight, ''he's not holding back''.
* HandicappedBadass: He's an angel who cannot fly. It doesn't slow him down in the slightest.
* TheHero: The brave and idealistic angel beating down the forces of evil.
* {{Heroic RROD}}: He nearly dies saving Dark Pit from Chaos Kin, and manages to do so... at the cost of Pit's wings burning up when he catches him. He's out of commission for Chapter 22 as a result.
* HeroicResolve: In spades. If there's even a ''small'' chance he can save someone, he'll find a way.
* HoldingBothSidesOfTheConversation: His doing this in Chapter 23 makes it very clear that the Gods constant deriding of him is having a negative effect, because during this time when he's inside Hades and thus cut off from them, he subs ''himself'' in for them because of how used he is to their banter. His Viridi impersonation is an obvious mockery, but his Palutena impersonation is disturbingly accurate in wording.
* HotBlooded: In one particular moment Magnus gives him advice on how to proceed tactically, while Pit in his hot blooded glory just goes in guns blazing (it's almost [[LampshadeHanging Lampshading]] the nature of the game).
* HypercompetentSidekick: He's essentially Palutena's NumberTwo with all that it entails and he's very, very good at his job despite his goofy and dorky personality.
* HypocriticalHumor: In a random conversation that may occur in chapters 19 and 20 if Pit is using a cannon, he says that humans cannot be trusted with grenade launchers because they're go around shooting everything. The irony is not lost on Viridi.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Even Palutena herself is unable to sway his sense of righteousness, and the physical manifestation of his "dark side" is neutral at worst.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: The Great Sacred Treasure, used in the final battle against Hades. It was previously the Three Sacred Treasures, but they have been rendered obsolete as Pit no longer needs them to defeat Medusa, and they prove completely ineffective against Hades.
* InfinityMinusOneSword: The Three Sacred Treasures are this as of ''Uprising'' where they are displaced by the Great Sacred Treasure.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Has blue eyes and is the most alturistic character in the game.
* InTheNameOfTheMoon: Pit does this a whole lot in complete adoration to all that is Palutena and light beating darkness, and even his special idol description says that he practiced to make one. Parodied a few times as well. Special mention goes to his speech with Pandora which features an over-the-top sequence that even has him sweep his hair with BishieSparkle.
--> '''Pit''': Pandora! Underling of Medusa floating before me! It's time for you to atone for your crimes! I am Pit, servant of the Goddess of Light! And [[PunctuatedForEmphasis You! Are! History!]]\\
'''Palutena''': *Deadpan* What was that all about?
** He gets a surprisingly serious one right before fighting Medusa in Chapter 9, with poses specifically designed to showcase the Three Sacred Treasures (although it looks a bit daft if you choose not to wear them).
--> '''Pit:''' Listen well, all you demons of the Underworld! In the name of the Goddess Palutena, defender of all that is good! Those who reside in darknesss will be made to face the light!
* IronicName: Although it probably comes from the -pid part of Cupid, it's still kinda funny that the winged guy is named 'hole in the ground', which Viridi takes note of.
* JackOfAllStats: In gameplay. He's fast, but not that fast. He's strong, but not that strong. His strength lies solely in the weapon and the player's skill.
* TheJuggernaut: The primary playable version of this trope, although it's mostly shown in Chapters 19-21 and 23-Final. This trope comes into play when Pit becomes dead serious to accomplish his objective and it turns him into a serious LightningBruiser. It's more present in his motivation and dialogue than his in-game durability and power unlike the other beings who actually prove this trope.
* {{Keet}}: He has energy to spare. This trait is especially noticeable when he's around Magnus.
* KidHero: Played with. Pit has the appearance of a young teenager, and has the personality to match, but he's older than he appears.
* KirkSummation:
** To Medusa in chapter 9 after he tells her to [[ShutUpHannibal shut up.]] Also doubles as TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
--> '''Pit:''' You shut your mouth, Medusa! Lady Palutena is ''nothing'' like you! Who turns people to stone? Who poisons rivers? Who reduces cities to rubble? And who is leading the Underworld invasion of the land and heavens?! ''Not'' Lady Palutena! ''You're'' the one responsible for all this, Medusa!
** He also gives a good one to Hades, who for the entire game up to that point had been constantly riffing on Pit's seeming IdiotHero nature. Bear in mind, this happens during a point where Pit is completely at Hades' mercy and cut off from every ally he has (even Palutena) and where Hades had insulted his intelligence yet again merely seconds beforehand.
--> '''Pit:''' We're all responsible for maintaining a certain order in the universe. As lord of the Underworld, you know this better than anyone. But your greed has thrown everything out of order. You've overstepped your bounds by exploiting and desecrating souls. And you've disrupted the balance between the earth, the heavens, and the Underworld.
* KleptomaniacHero: Played with:
--> '''Pit''': Yeah! A treasure box!\\
'''Magnus''': That's clearly a trap. Think about it. Who would leave treasure just lying about outside?\\
'''Pit (at player's behest):''' ''*Opens treasure box. Monsters appear.*''\\
'''Magnus''': What is wrong with you?\\
'''Pit''': If there's a treasure box, I open it! I can't help it!\\
'''Magnus''': OK, we'll see how long you'll survive with that strategy!
* KnightInShiningArmor: Considering he's a literal angel and a trained warrior, it's to be expected.
* LadyAndKnight: The Knight to Palutena's Lady.
* LetsGetDangerous: At the beginning of Chapter 21, instead of waiting for the door to open, he busts the door down.
-->Pit: Hold on, Lady Palutena! I'm coming for you!
* LightIsGood: An angel with white clothing who is a servant of the Goddess of Light and TheHero of the series.
* LimitBreak: Each of Pit's weapons has a special attack that can be used during air battles.
* LiteralMinded: At times, such as this exchange in Chapter 2:
-->'''Magnus''': So, you're here for a slice of the pie, too?\\
'''Pit''': Huh? Pie? Where?
* LuminescentBlush: He gets flustered very easily and does this as a result, as shown when Phosphora teases him. This is Lampshaded by Palutena.
-->'''Palutena:''' [[ButtMonkey He embarrasses easily.]]
* MadeOfIron: Pit can take quite a beating for someone of his size. Over the course of the game, he's been thrown around, beaten up, burned, electrocuted, ''eaten,'' having fallen from the sky on multiple occasions, nearly got his ''wings burned off and near death'' and comes out no worse for wear. Ch. 21 in particular had him engaging the Chaos Kin in a dogfight, literally fighting his way through ''13 waves of replicated enemies from'' '''''every''''' ''faction'', fighting the Chaos Kin ''again'' on foot and showing no signs of tiring.
* MindControlEyes: His soulless body in Chapter 18.
* MistressAndServantBoy: In his relationship with Palutena, though Pit is the Captain of the Guard.
* MixAndMatchWeapon: All of his weapons from ''Brawl'' onward do double duty as both melee and ranged, even swords, bows, and clubs.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
** His reaction after defeating Dark Lord Gaol, where it's revealed that [[SamusIsAGirl he's actually a she and she's actually a human.]] Palutena thankfully cheers him up by telling him that Gaol is still alive.
** Takes a much more serious tone in Chapter 19 when he kills the Chariot Master. Both he and Viridi felt his death was completely pointless and regret it had to come to that.
* MoralityPet:
** For Viridi. The only explanation given for why she helps him and never sees any consequences for her actions is that she's developed a soft spot for him.
** It's also implied his innocence and trust makes him one for even Palutena herself somewhat, which is likely why he was sealed in the ring when she gets possessed.
* MultiMeleeMaster: In ''Uprising'', most of his clubs are used for melee attacks, and he also goes hand-to-hand with claws, wields blades, and of course has his trusty bows which split into twin swords.
* NeverLearnedToRead: By his own admission, in the English localization. In the Japanese version, he instead says that he wanted to die with a full belly.
* NiceGuy: Kind, compassionate, and very easygoing.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Nice job Pit, you just killed the Phoenix. Now Hades can set his master plan in action. And then you destroyed the Lunar Sanctum. Have fun dealing with the EldritchAbomination you unleashed. Though to be fair, Pit had no choice but to kill the Phoenix, as [[XanatosGambit doing nothing would allow the Phoenix to attack humanity.]] Also, [[PoorCommunicationKills Arlon never explained what the Lunar Sanctum's purpose was]], so Pit couldn't know what would happen.
* NumberTwo: To Palutena.
* OhCrap: Given the entire plot in the game, Pit gets a good amount of moments where his lines directly come from him realizing how bad his situation is or if he thinks that something bad will happen. In the former, it's usually when the enemies keep swarming him, for the latter, his reaction comes from entering or being in certain areas for some time. Then there are times where he plays this trope for the laughs although to him it may not originally be very funny.
-->'''Pit:''' Uh-oh...[[note]]This is very close to [[ThisIsGonnaSuck 'you just didn't say that just now, did you!?']] when Phosphora calls Palutena 'ma'am' which is one of the latter's [[BerserkButton berserk buttons]].[[/note]]
-->'''Pit:''' [[OhCrap So...many...enemies...]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: In the first game he's a trained soldier, yet in ''Uprising'', which takes place a full [[RealitySubtext 25 years later]], he's still practically a teenager. [[WordOfGod Sakurai]] even tweeted Pit's body is that of a 13 year old.
* OneManArmy: While Medusa, Hades, and Viridi send in hordes of monsters to attack, Palutena just sends in Pit. She ''does'' have plenty of Centurions, but they're all so weak that Pit is basically the main muscle of her army. He's just that good. Lampshaded by Magnus in Chapter 18.
--> '''Magnus''': You're the only member of Palutena's Army that can pull his own weight. Don't get me started on the Centurions. Sure, they're a ton of them, but they're all pretty flimsy.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Resembles a classic winged angel, but he can't fly on his own. Some of his weaponry also stray away from the norm for angels.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: A heroic and lighter example than most but still prevalent. Any place Pit enters will inevitably be destroyed. Lampshaded by Viridi in chapter 12.
--> '''Viridi''': This coming from the flying munitions depot himself? You're as destructive as a hundred Reset Bombs!
* PintsizedPowerhouse: He's the same size as a regularly human, but he can take down creatures that reach colossal sizes.
* PowerDyesYourHair: In the first game Pit's hair starts off light brown, becomes green at 2 strength, purple at 3, dark brown at 4, and blue at 5. In the best ending, his hair goes back to being light brown in his adult form, and it stays that colour regardless of strength in every other game.
* RainOfArrows: The Bow's special attack.
* RedOniBlueOni: Red Oni to anyone's Blue Oni most of the time, particularly Dark Pit and Magnus. Though he dipped into Blue Oni territory during ''Uprising'''s Chapter 20, [[TranquilFury in which he was unusually serious.]]
* ReverseGrip: When separating his bow into twin blades, he tends to hold one in this way.
* RoaringRampageOfRescue: The entire description of his actions in Chapter 20 and the first part of his reasons in the following chapter. This combined with his nearly unrivaled [[{{Determinator}} willpower]] makes it almost impossible to slow him down at all. So far only the Chaos Kin was able to slow him down during his rescue mission thanks to throwing 13 waves of enemies at him without slowing down and later on at Dark Pit as well but that barely slows either of them down.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Woe to anyone who gets the sheer [[TranquilFury devotion]] and [[UnstoppableRage attention]] by pressing making him go [[BerserkButton ballistic]]. This combined with his completely monstrous [[{{Determinator}} willpower]] results in him being able to endure and come out as the victor in many battles that he normally wouldn't be able to handle alone. Although Pit's demonstration of this trope is more of a version of TranquilFury, he uses this trope so effectively when he sets his sight on an enemy he can't afford to lose to. This trope is the second half of his line of reason in Chapter 21, resulting in him trashing at least 7-8 waves of enemies by himself before losing his momentum just because he's that '''ticked off''' at the Chaos Kin. In his final battle against Hades, Pit performs this trope to the extreme by literally taking on Hades in order to kill the Underworld Ruler for his massacre of innocent lives and causing many unneeded wars.
* SanitySlippage: Played with and [[DefiedTrope defied]]. During Chapter 23, Pit starts talking to himself and acts like he is on the verge of losing his mind... but, at the end of his rant, he lampshades how he needs to get out of Hades before he REALLY goes crazy.
* SarcasmBlind: Which is ironic, considering he has his own DeadpanSnarker moments.
* ScrewYourself: There are quite a few fans who think he'd make a cute couple with his clone, Dark Pit.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Magnus' Manly Man.
* ShipTease: With Viridi in Chapter 16 and with Phosphora in Ch 14.
* ShirtlessScene: [[WrongGenreSavvy No, it's not related to his love for hot springs]]. Rather, it's when his wings burn off when rescuing Dark Pit from the Chaos Kin.
* ShockAndAwe: The Blade's special attack calls down lightning bolts.
* ShutUpHannibal:
** To Medusa in Chapter 9, followed by a KirkSummation.
** Also to Hades in Chapter 23, though only just barely.
* SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers: He has a song that goes "you gotta stay upbeat, upbeat, upbeat. Or you're gonna be dead meat, dead meat, dead meat". Dark Pit, naturally, thinks it's annoying.
* SkilledButNaive: He's a skilled and powerful fighter, but he's somewhat dim, and he fully believes in BlackAndWhiteMorality.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Despite being a HotBlooded CloudCuckoolander and the fact that he NeverLearnedToRead, Pit is actually quite cunning and much smarter than people give him credit for when he puts his mind to it.
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: As expected from an archer.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The Wise Guy to anyone's Straight Man, especially Dark Pit and Magnus.
* SubmissiveBadass: In his relationship to Palutena. He's more than capable of doing things on his own, but he has enough respect to refer to her for advice.
* SuperSentaiStance: He does one when he first fights Medusa in Uprising, [[SoBadItsGood and it]] is awesome.
* SwordAndSorcerer: The Sword to Palutena's sorcerer. Pit is the main weaponmaster of the game while Palutena relies on light magic.
* TemptingFate: This exchange between him and Palutena at the end of Ch 13, three years before everything goes to hell in a handbasket.
-->'''Palutena:''' But what's that thing breaking free?
-->'''Pit:''' Oh, I'm sure it's nothing.
* ToHellAndBack: As mentioned above, his job takes him all over the world. From Skyworld, to the Overworld, to the Underworld, to outer space, and even different dimensions.
* TooMuchInformation:
** Says the acronym when Arlon mentions his... loins.
-->'''Pit''': TMI! Nobody wants to hear about your loins!
** Magnus seems to have the same reaction when Pit mentions his "sacred buns".
* TookALevelInBadass: Shown if you clear Chapter 9 without using the three treasures. In the first one, Pit could only take down Medusa with the three sacred treasures. In Uprising, he can take her down without them.
* TranquilFury: Only demonstrates this once and that's in chapter 20 when Hades mockingly presents the very real possibility that he may have to kill the possessed Palutena. His response is to calmly, bluntly tell Hades to go home... or in other words, to ''go to Hell.''
* TwentyFourHourArmor: He tells Magnus he ''never'' takes off his uniform. Even while bathing. Ew. Apparently, it saves on laundry!
* TwinTelepathy: During certain portions of the game, he and Dark Pit seem to be able to connect at certain points. Viridi even comments on it.
* UndyingLoyalty:
** For Palutena. He even gives an awesome ShutUpHannibal to Medusa when she tries to give Palutena TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
** Even when Palutena was BrainwashedAndCrazy, he would not give up on her, not even when forced to fight her. Viridi lampshades his dedication.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: While Pit doesn't merit ''all'' the blame, him destroying the Lunar Sanctum did not end well for anyone involved. See NiceJobBreakingItHero.
* VSign: After defeating Hades, in ''Uprising''.
-->''Victory!''
* WeaponOfChoice: Nine different classes.
** CoolSword: Blades are [[JackOfAllStats well-balanced with melee and ranged shots]].
** SimpleStaff: Staves have [[SniperRifle excellent range]], but [[CripplingOverspecialization are less-than-impressive at close range]].
** WolverineClaws: Claws are [[FragileSpeedster fast, but rely on rapid-fire and quick combos to deal damage]].
** TheStraightAndArrowPath: Bows have the best homing capabilities and [[BifurcatedWeapon split into two blades]] for melee. The Palutena Bow has become his signature weapon outside of ''Uprising''.
** PowerTattoo: Palms don't slow Pit down, but [[DeathOfAThousandCuts don't exactly have the best damage output]].
** CarryABigStick: Clubs [[MightyGlacier deal massive damage, but are hard to lug around]] and [[CripplingOverspecialization have no continuous fire]].
** {{BFG}}: Cannons fire [[StuffBlowingUp explosive charged shots]], but don't have the best range.
** AttackDrones: Orbitars hover at Pit's sides, trading [[MoreDakka damage output for rate of fire]].
** PowerFist: Arms have [[CloseRangeCombatant powerful melee attacks]], but subpar range.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: He won't hesitate to put the smackdown on Underworld monsters, the Forces of Nature, or the Aurum... but as soon as he discovers that Dark Lord Gaol was a human woman upon defeating her, he's absolutely horrified and has a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment. Furthermore, when Viridi brushes off his objections to her genocidal hatred of humanity by accusing him of being the same way towards Underworld forces, Pit replies that it's ''not'' the same because unlike her, ''he's'' destroying evil ("It's totally different! Look it up.").
* WideEyedIdealist: Despite the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism in ''Uprising'', Pit is very optimistic and has high hopes in the human race, despite the game showing time and time again that the [[JerkAssGods Gods are Jerkasses]]. He is also fiercely loyal to Palutena and Angel Land, no matter what. The fact that this view is attacked when Palutena gets brainwashed does affect him, though even then he doesn't stray from what he believes in, even if it means beating some sense into Palutena herself.
* WingedHumanoid: He's an angel, so it's to be expected.
* WingsDoNothing:
** Played with. By default, Pit can't fly -- as a result, his wings are merely decorative and, at most, can slow his fall (''Of Myths and Monsters''). However, he can fly if he uses one of the Three Sacred Treasures or the Power of Flight. Also, in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' games, he has temporary flight as his third jump.
** It's implied that they may contain his lifeforce, or at least that he can't live without them. When he burns his wings to the bone, it nearly kills him. Part of the reason Palutena wants to heal him so badly is certainly that he loved to fly and wanted nothing more than to fly on his own, but it seems like having burnt wings is quite literally killing him and the only way to save him is to restore his wings.
* WouldHitAGirl: When most of them are trying to kill you, it's pretty justified.
* YesMan: To [[UndyingLoyalty Palutena.]] Phosphora even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it.

-->''"Despite the Underworld invasion, the people haven't given up hope!"''
The goddess of light and ruler of Skyworld, Palutena goes to great lengths to protect her people, and those who dwell on the surface lands below.
* {{Adorkable}}: She may be an elegant goddess, but Palutena has a lovable, trollish GenkiGirl personality and behaves similarly to many geek girls in RealLife. Taken UpToEleven in ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner'', where she's probably at her cutest!
* AndIMustScream: She suffered under the Chaos Kin's control for ''three years'', being unable to control her body while her soul was constantly under threat of being consumed.
* AttackDrones: Her boss battle has her summon two orbs of light that follow Pit around and fire lasers at him.
* BadassBookworm: Going hand in hand with her role as [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]], Palutena is the most knowledgeable god in the game.
* BadassInCharge: Of Skyworld and the Centurions.
* BadassInDistress: Throughout the course of the series she has a distressing (no pun intended) habit of being caught off-guard...
* BathtubScene: In the beginning of ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner, Pt. 2''.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: The Goddess of Light, the BigGood of the game, and very beautiful.
* BerserkButton: ''Don't'' call her ma'am.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Palutena's one of the more pleasant Gods in the game for the most part (though she still has her [[GoodIsNotNice vices]].) However, as Hewdraw learned the hard way and as her BossFight shows [[labelnote:*]]not that [[PintsizedPowerhouse Pit]] doesn't still end up kicking her ass like he does everyone else's, though[[/labelnote]], if forced to take a more direct approach, she'll happily remind you why she's the Goddess of Light.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: She's more GenkiGirl than goddess, but she's far from harmless.
* BeyondTheImpossible: During ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner'', when she discovers that the Vegetable Monster is vulnerable to water, she uses her Power of Malestorm to create a storm ''indoors.''
* BigEater: Judging by her banter with Pit, during which she'll randomly talk about everything from the great meal they could make out of the Kraken to Phoenix eggs making wonderful omelets. Likely where Pit gets it from; Viridi has to snap the both of them out of ordering a pizza during the [[AlienInvasion Aurum invasion]] of all things.
* BigGood: The goddess of light and ruler of Skyworld.
* BluntMetaphorsTrauma: She insists she always gets those sayings correct, so maybe not.
* BossBanter: In ''Uprising'' with Pit, and when he's busy either Viridi or Hades. Especially shown in her boss fight, where most of her attacks are telegraphed by a specific phrase.
-->''"Time for a sacrifice!"''
-->''"This might sting!"''
-->''"Poor you!"''
-->''"Cover your eyes!"''
-->''"Fly away now!"''
-->''"Come out!"''
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: During the Chaos Kin arc in ''Uprising''. The catch is you have to beat her up without killing her or else you fail the mission.
* BreakoutCharacter: Since she got so many fans, she gets her own special and become a playable character in ''Smash''.
* ButtMonkey: "Palutena's Revolting Dinner" puts her in this position, getting hung upside-down, attacked by carrots, and having giant pumpkins explode in her face, all because she was distracted while adding a potion.
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Medusa's Cain.
* CaptainObvious: Most of her dialogue revolves around her stating the obvious in the Japanese version instead of teasing Pit. Lampshaded by Viridi in Chapter 15.
-->'''Viridi:''' All hail the goddess of obvious.
* CharacterExaggeration: Palutena messes with Pit '''''far''''' more often in the English dub than the original Japanese.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Can come off as this due to her tendency to change the subject and bring up food at random times.
* CoolCrown: A golden crown with a red jewel embedded in it.
* CoolSword: Does not use one, but the Palutena Blade is modeled after her.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Green hair and green eyes.
* DeadpanSnarker: Not as often as most characters, but she has her moments.
* {{Expy}}: Of the Greek goddess of wisdom Athena, right down to her immature GoodIsNotNice attitude. She actually started out as an interpretation of Athena herself, under the name "Parthena" (an alternate rendering of "Athena".) Transliteration to Japanese further rendered this as "Palutena", which for whatever reason wasn't reverted back to the correct Latin spelling when ''Kid Icarus'' was brought overseas and thus stuck as her actual name globally. Combined with DivergentCharacterEvolution as her character was fleshed out and her primitive NES appearance developed into a unique design of its own, and she's much less a direct interpretation of Athena nowadays and more her own character, even if she remains her analog in-universe.
* ExtremeOmnivore:
** Similar to Pit, it's implied she'll eat anything. She even makes jokes about how the idea of Pit being turned to a crisp from the lightning might sound delicious, but that she would pull him out of the area where the lightning struck.
** It's also demonstrated in ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner'' where despite the fact that the carrots have been overdosed with her rejuvenation potion and are now ''sentient'', she ''still'' intends to eat them.
* FanservicePack: She's noticeably curvier in ''Smash 4'', though her design is otherwise unchanged from her ''Uprising'' appearance (itself a more youthful refinement of her initial ''Brawl'' redesign, which in turn was much more glamorous than her original look.) Each successive game seems to push her a little bit further into MsFanservice territory, despite not starting out as one.
* FantasticNuke: Her Palutena Glam Buster or the Sacred Goddess Clobberlaser which she uses to finish off Hewdraw.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Subtle, but there; she's only wearing a stocking on her left leg and her right leg wrap is VERY slightly different from her left leg wrap.
* FlunkyBoss: Her boss fight has her occasionally summon Centurion Knights to aid her.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Medusa. Both of them ruled Skyworld together, but the two are quite literally as different as night and day. Palutena is the benevolent Goddess of Light, Medusa is the vindictive Goddess of Darkness. Palutena has light powers to contrast Medusa's dark magic and her clothing is white to contrast Medusa's purple dress. Palutena cares deeply for humanity and wishes to protect it. Medusa despises humanity and wishes to see it destroyed.
** To Viridi. Both characters help Pit out during the game and both of them have similar powers, but their stances on humans are polar opposites of each other. Viridi believes that humans are inherently evil and destructive and incapable of change while Palutena is aware of their flaws, but believes that humans can grow and learn.
* TheGadfly: ''Uprising'' has her messing with Pit non-stop. Her pranks range from not warning Pit when she's going to speed his wings up to ''deliberately using him as bait to lure out one of the Hewdraw heads'' (again not surprising since she's based on Athena). Hell, there's a little comic for the post-game option of turning off all dialogue:
-->'''Pit:''' I'm in trouble here, Lady Palutena!\\
'''Palutena:''' ''([[DissonantSerenity serene smile]])'' '''You can do it, Pit.'''
* GenkiGirl: If her special anime short and her constant teasing with Pit are anything to go by, she's just a bit like this. Of course, this makes her look less heavenly than previously envisioned.
* GodIsFlawed: This is why she takes a strong stance on protecting humanity. She's fully aware of how flawed humanity can be, but also knows that gods can be just as bad, if not worse than humans and when they fight, humans are innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.
* GodOfGood: She's the Goddess of Light who helps Pit protect humanity from evil. Though she is hinted to have a darker side to her.
* TheGodsMustBeLazy: Invoked: Magnus outright accuses her of "sleeping on the job" in Chapter 2, much to her annoyance.
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Her outfit is predominately white and gold, and she is of course the goddess of light.
* GoodIsNotNice: According to the other Gods and Goddesses, Palutena isn't really the nicest of them all as Pit makes her out to be. Given that she is a [[TheGadfly Gadfly]] and some of her actions are questionable, it's not hard to see why everyone is wary of her. Though she's still much more pleasant than the other gods.
* GreenEyes: To match the green hair.
* HeroicWillpower: As pointed out by Viridi in Chapter 21, the fact that Palutena was able to resist having her soul devoured by the Chaos Kin proves she has incredible willpower.
* HerosMuse: Most of what keeps Pit going is his devotion to her. He even outright admits that the reason he fights is because of her. Whether this is an idealistic sort of hero worship or if he just has a crush on her is left largely to the viewer's imagination - there's evidence for either, or both.
* HotGoddess: Oh yes. Especially in ''Smash 4'', although she was already getting pretty cute as of Uprising.
* HumansAreFlawed: She's fully aware of the flaws of humanity, but at the same time, she's aware that gods can be just as bad, if not worse. She protects them because while humans may fight with each other a lot, when it comes to wars between gods, they're innocent bystanders.
* JerkassGods:
** Played for laughs.
-->'''Pit:''' But you would NEVER abuse your power, right?\\
'''Palutena:''' Of course I would! It's all part of the Goddess's job description.
** Most of the time, anyway. More and more hints at a darker side of this appear as the game goes on, such as when close to the initial Medusa battle and ''especially'' during the "Ring of Chaos" arc.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She enjoys making a ton of jokes at Pit's expense, but she does genuinely care about him.
* KingOfAllCosmos: She can certainly dip into this, and many other characters tend to point out when she screws up/teases too much/acts hypocritical. Her apotheosis of this is seen whenever she cooks.
* LadyAndKnight: The Lady to Pit's Knight.
* LargeHam: Well, more of a ''small'' ham when compared to [[WorldOfHam everyone else]], Pit included. Her attempts at it sound decidedly more forced than the rest, meaning you'll either be laughing or facepalming in response. Even when possessed by the Chaos Kin, she's still quite over the top, and very expressive in her boss battles.
* LethalChef: Figuratively and literally in ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner.'' Though nothing in the short actually suggests she's a bad chef. Just a little too easily distracted while handling powerful potions.
* LightEmUp: She ''is'' the Goddess of Light after all.
* LightIsGood: The Goddess of Light and the BigGood of the series.
* LightIsNotGood: When possessed by the Chaos Kin.
* LongRangeFighter: Prefers to keep her distance from opponents and fire energy blasts. However, her appearance in ''Smash 4'' shows she can definitely handle herself up close.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Has a mirror shield that she uses in battle.
* MaamShock: Dislikes it so, even if the lifespan of gods is implied to be eternal.
* MamaBear: Toward Pit If chapter 21 and 22 aren't evident enough. In Viridi's own words, she was willing to ''cheat death'' in order to save Pit in chapter 22.
* MindOverMatter: Chapter 18 shows she has powerful telekinesis, able to toss pieces of Skyworld itself at Pit. Carries over into ''Smash 4'' where some of her attacks have her telekinetically twirling her staff at opponents.
* MissionControl: Until Chapter 18, when she becomes BrainwashedAndCrazy, leaving Viridi to fill her position. Fortunately, it's not permanent.
* MistressAndServantBoy: In her relationship with Pit, though Pit is the Captain of the Guard.
* AMotherToHerMen: Even though she can and does revive the Centurions when they die, she still doesn't like to see them get hurt, so she rarely sends them to fight.
* MsFanservice: Increasingly. The [[http://i.imgur.com/5hfz2.jpg Bathtub Scene]] in ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner'' is a stand-out example. ''Smash 4'' heavily plays this up, with several MaleGaze shots during her newcomer trailer and even a ''pole-dance taunt'' in-game.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After being saved from the Chaos Kin, the expression she has clearly says this. Especially when Pit nearly gives up his life for Dark Pit, burning his wings up in the process.
* MysteriousWaif: Interestingly, her rare AR card idol mentions that her history and motivations are little known. Even in ''Uprising'' she gets some questions that she doesn't answer truthfully.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: There is virtually ''nothing'' this girl can't pull out of her bag of tricks. It's basically Power of (''insert whatever power the plot needs here.'')
* NotSoAboveItAll: For a goddess who rules over a mystical land, she sure doesn't act like it, if ''Uprising'' onward is any indication. This is no surprise given that she's based on Athena.
* OpaqueNerdGlasses: She does this trope in one scene, but you're most likely going to miss them since you're busy blasting enemies away[[labelnote:*]][[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/palutenawithglassesbetter_3045.jpg If that's the case, here is a lovely photo of it]][[/labelnote]]. Alternatively, she does use them in two extra tutorials' artwork (if you bothered to watch the How To Play videos, that is).
* PhysicalGod: DistressBall aside, she's a very powerful goddess and had no qualms demonstrating it. Best shown in the Air Battle of Chapter 3 when Pit's fighting Hewdraw. If he takes too long to defeat him, Palutena will use her Sacred Goddess Clobberlaser (Or Palutena Glam Blaster), a ''giant column of light'', to ''oneshot'' it. She also showcases other godly powers throughout the game such as her ''sneeze causing a meteor to change course'' at one point during Chapter 13 or creating an opening through a large storm cloud to get to Phosphora's Thunder Cloud Temple in Chapter 14. Chapter 18 has her telekinetically tossing large pieces of Skyworld itself at Pit. Gets taken to its logical conclusion in Chapter 20, where she serves as the chapter's boss and if her dialogue to Pit in ''Smash 4'' is any indication, she may have only been using ''a fraction of her actual power''.
* PimpedOutDress: In the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' games and ''Uprising''.
* PluckyComicRelief: During ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner''.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair reaches her knees.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: While her true age is unknown, she's obviously much older than she appears. She is young by goddess standards, though, as WordOfGod states she's 22 years old in human years. Lampshaded in the banter between her and Phosphora in Chapter 14.
-->'''Phosphora:''' You're right, I'm sorry. You're ''much'' too young to be called "ma'am".\\
'''Palutena:''' You know as well as I do the lifespan of gods. And how about ''you?'' What's ''your'' age?\\
'''Palutena and Phosphora:''' I'll tell you ''mine'' if you tell me ''yours!''
* RequisiteRoyalRegalia: Dresses quite elegantly as befits a goddess.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness:
** Dips into this when she's teasing Pit.
-->'''Palutena:''' The monster situation is quite clamant.
-->'''Pit:''' Is... that a good thing?
-->'''Palutena:''' You know. It's importunate, or unpropitious.
-->'''Pit:''' Are you still speaking English right now?
-->'''Palutena:''' I'm sorry Pit. I didn't mean to confuse you. Here, let me make this easy for you. Big monsters kill Pit! Grr!
-->'''Pit:''' Ah! That makes perfect sense! Thank you!
** And when Pit faces off against the Hewdraw head.
-->'''Palutena:''' Despite my winsomeness and equanimity, I do have a strong streak of rascality.
-->'''Pit:''' I don't even know what that means!
* ShesGotLegs: And loves to show them off, particularly in ''Smash 4'' during her taunts.
* ShipperOnDeck: An easy to miss moment shows her teasing that Viridi has a soft spot for Pit.
* ShowSomeLeg: She loves to show off her legs. Especially in ''Smash 4''
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner'' has her enduring some very AmusingInjuries, and in ''Smash 4'', she's subject to the same punishment every other fighter is.
* TheSmartGirl: She's one of the smartest Goddesses out there, according to the others. And it shows: she has information on (almost) every single enemy, and she's very rational in comparison to the other Gods. Then again, she is based on Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom.
* StaffOfAuthority: Like the other goddesses, she has one too.
* StoryBreakerPower: She's shown to be strong enough to easily win the day if she did things herself. That said, she's happy playing MissionControl to our protagonist.
* SwordAndSorcerer: The Sorcerer to Pit's Sword.
* TheTease: Started becoming this as of ''Uprising'', and ''Smash 4'' takes it UpToEleven.
* TakenForGranite:
** In ''Of Myths and Monsters'' when Orcos kidnapped her at the end.
** Also during ''Uprising'', although she did it to herself as a precaution, as revealed by Petrified Palutena's idol.
* UnwittingPawn: After the Chaos Kin breaks out of the Lunar Sanctum, it possessed Palutena for three years and used her to wreak havoc on the human realm.
* WomanInWhite: To further cement her status as the Goddess of Light.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Palutena has long green hair to match the green eyes.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Centurion]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_727px-centurionuprising_8454.jpg]]
Palutena's ordinary soldiers. Unlike the other gods, she usually doesn't bother sending them out because they're rather weak and she doesn't like to see them get hurt, and Pit is already a strong enough military on his own.
* AbnormalAmmo: Centurion Strongarms will throw ''dumbbells'' at Pit for a ranged attack.
* BladeOnAStick: The weapon of choice for the Centurion Knights.
* DeathIsCheap: Through dialogue and their Idols, ''Uprising'' reveals that the Centurions can be revived. Pit believes this is why the Centurions are so weak. They have no incentive to get stronger if they'll just get revived.
* DubNameChange: "Ikaros" ("Ikaroses"?) in the Japanese version.
* DumbMuscle: The Strongarm Centurions are this. Even Pit says they're all brawn, including their brains.
* EliteMook: The Centurion Knights.
* EscortMission: Two Centurion Strongarms need to be defended by Pit in order for him to reach Pyrrhon during the second half of Chapter 17. If both are killed the first time, Palutena will summon two more, but if those are killed, its a NonStandardGameOver.
* {{Flight}}: Despite their tiny wings, they can fly.
* GagNose: All Centurions have large noses.
* {{Irony}}: They're more of a threat when they turn against their leader.
* JavelinThrower: Centurion Knights will toss their spears for a ranged attack.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Centurion Knights come equipped with shields. Unfortunately for them, they can easily be destroyed.
* OneHitPointWonder: In the first game, it only takes one hit to bring one down. ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' takes it a step further by having them expire as soon as they hit their target.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Their wings are on their heads rather than their backs.
* RedShirtArmy: These guys die so much that even Palutena jokes about it.
* TakenForGranite: In the original, Medusa turned them all into stone. In order to get them back, Pit had to use a hammer to free them.
* TopHeavyGuy: Centurion Strongarms.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Pit. Especially shown during the Aurum arc where despite knowing full well they would probably be killed, they still helped Pit defeat the Aurum.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: In ''Uprising'', the Strongarm Centurions are capable of powerbombing Pit and Magnus when they appear as enemies in Chapter 18 and 20, although they can't grab you while you're in the middle of a melee combo.

[[quoteright:325:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_darkpit_artnew_5487.png]]
-->''"Hey there, Pit-stain."''
A mysterious black-winged angel. He can soar through the skies without being granted the power of flight -- and seems determined to face Pit in battle.
* {{Adorkable}}: He's no different from his light counterpart.
* AntiHero: He started out as an opponent for Pit who was unaffiliated to the Underworld Army despite being created by Pandora's Mirror of Truth, only fighting Pit for his own reasons. But after realizing that [[CantLiveWithoutYou killing Pit means he'll die as well]], he warms up to Pit and becomes one of his most important allies.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Downplayed. He's supposed to be the embodiment of Pit's dark side, but Pit is so inherently kind and pure that the only negative traits he embodies are Pit's brashness, sharp tongue, arrogance, and thrill for battle.
* ArchEnemy: Seems to have found one in Pandora.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: As a manifestation of the darkness in Pit's heart, Dark Pit represents some of the traits Pit keeps to himself - such as a rather arrogant personality and his thrill for battle, which for Dark Pit goes beyond being HotBlooded into being an arrogant BloodKnight (Or at least at first)
* AscendedExtra: He was originally just a palette swap of Pit in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''.
* BadassAdorable: Like his light counterpart, he can kick ass, as shown in chapter 9 when he literally falcon kicks the mini boss at the beginning when Pit can't do any damage with the Sacred Treasures. Ironically in the Japanese version, kicking the enemy actually resulted in him being injured instead of coming out with no scratches like in the English version.
* BadassBaritone: It's Pit's voice with a deeper inflection.
* BadassDriver: Dark Pit has a tendency to take the Lightning Chariot and ram it at his opponents when Pit needs help.
* BashBrothers: With Pit, eventually.
* BerserkButton: Do NOT call him "Pittoo!"
* BlackAndGreyMorality: Unlike Pit, who sees the world in black and white, he sees things in black and grey. While the Underworld Army are indeed the villains, the Gods they serve aren't any better. He even calls the Gods out on how they treat the world with their powers and place the blame on humans; Palutena even admits he's right.
* BloodKnight:
** Implied by the following exchange, though he gradually grows out of it after some CharacterDevelopment:
--> '''Palutena:''' Pittoo just isn't happy unless he's fighting someone.\\
'''Dark Pit:''' You say that like's a bad thing!
** And earlier in Chapter 9:
--> '''Pit:''' What are you doing here?
--> '''Dark Pit:''' The same thing you're doing, pummeling Underworld fools. I'm just way better at it.
--> '''Palutena:''' Maybe you also sensed that Pit could use your help.
--> '''Dark Pit:''' Don't make me laugh. Now enough talky talk! There's fighting to be done!
* BreakTheHaughty: According to Chapter 21, the reason for Dark Pit [[HeelFaceTurn switching sides]] is because he found out that he can't live without Pit. He won't go into details on what happened to him while Pit was in the ring, but it wasn't pleasant, to say the least. Pit [[HeroicSacrifice nearly dying]] for his sake is enough for him to fully switch sides and be Pit's ally.
* BroughtDownToNormal: After Chapter 22, he loses his power to fly independently as a result of Pandora's revival.
* BrutalHonesty: If the [[JerkassGods Gods are Jerkasses]], he'll say it to their faces.
* ButtMonkey: He may be the ShadowArchetype of Pit, but that doesn't make him immune to the abuse his alter ego suffers. Almost every character refers to him as [[EmbarrassingNickname Pittoo]], and Pit kicks his ass several times over the course of the game.
* CanonImmigrant: He made his debut in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' as a [[EvilCostumeSwitch simple color change for Pit]]. He was notable for changing Pit's color more dramatically than any of the other costumes, which really only changed his tunic color and slightly changed his wings' tint.
* CantLiveWithoutYou: Dark Pit's change of heart comes when he finds out killing Pit means he dies as well.
* CarFu: Rams the Lightning Chariot into the Chaos Vortex to prevent the Chaos Kin from escaping. He also rammed the chariot into Hades so he could grab Pit and escape with him.
* CloningBlues: It's not fun being seen by the world as nothing more than Pit's EvilKnockoff and getting slammed with a nickname that basically means "spit".
* CombatPragmatist: Whether it's against Pit or the Underworld army, he has a habit of attacking them when they least expect it.
* TheComicallySerious: Hades claims he has no sense of humor. In return, Dark Pit just ignores him, unlike Pit.
* CoolCrown: Wears one just like Pit.
* DarkerAndEdgier: He's far more serious and cynical than Pit and isn't one to play nice. But if the game isn't taking things seriously, [[ButtMonkey he also won't be taken seriously.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: He's the AnthropomorphicPersonification of Pit's dark side, but is only neutral at his worst.
* DeadpanSnarker: Being the manifestation of Pit's more negative qualities, Dark Pit is a little more loose with the snark.
* DefrostingIceKing: After some CharacterDevelopment, he softens up to everyone around him, going as far as to save Pit from death.
* {{Determinator}}: He is determined to save Pit after the latter saved his life from Chaos Kin. At the cost of losing his ability to fly, he manages to bring Pit's wings back.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: After healing Pit, he decides to fly off rather than try and explain why he helped, forgetting that he'd lost the power of flight that he stole from Pandora.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: In Ch 22, he calls out Palutena and Viridi for damaging the world with constant wars and blaming it on humans.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Literally. The first thing he does upon being created from the Mirror Of Truth is casually backhand Pandora.
* DubNameChange: From "''Black'' Pit" in the Japanese version.
* DynamicEntry:
** In Chapter 9, he charges in from out of nowhere to deliver a literal flying kick to the Underworld Gatekeeper, dropping the boss that Pit was struggling to damage even with the Three Sacred Treasures. Palutena notes that "face-kicking isn't usually this effective."
** In Chapter 20, he comes out of nowhere to slam the Lightning Chariot into the closing portal to the Chaos Vortex, expanding it for him and Pit to enter.
* EarlyBirdCameo: One of Pit's alternate colors in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' is basically Dark Pit with normal Pit's eye color.
* EnemyWithout: Downplayed. He's the personification of Pit's worst qualities...but Pit is such a NiceGuy that his "worst qualities" are his sarcastic sense of humor, brashness, and stubborn behavior.
* EmbarrassingNickname:
** "Pittoo", courtesy of Palutena. He's known as Bla-Pi or Kuro-Pi in Japan, short for Black Pit or Kuro Pit, and [[SdrawkcabName Tip]] in French. Regardless of the version, he hates it.
** Hades takes it a bit farther and gives him the downright childish name of ''Pitooey''.
** He's less prone to reacting to it as time goes on in ''Uprising'', although he'll still snap at Pit for calling him that in ''Smash 4''.
** It also hasn't stuck completely. In ''Smash 4'', the others actually call him "Dark Pit" when merely talking ''about'' him, but use "Pittoo" to his face, possibly to get a rise out of him (such as Pit greeting him in Dark Pit's codec conversation, and [[{{Troll}} Palutena's]] victory quote against him.) Even the crowd calls him Pittoo when cheering for him.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Like his light counterpart, he has no superpowers of his own and the powers he uses come from gods.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first thing he does upon his creation is to deliver an OffhandBackhand to Pandora when she orders him to kill Pit, showing he takes orders from no one.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He's absolutely ''disgusted'' with both the Chaos Kin and Hades for desecrating and eating souls, explicitly describing Hades' usage of souls to create monsters as "the sickest thing [he's] ever heard".
* EvilKnockoff: Was supposed to be one of Pit for the Underworld forces. He's really just neutral at worst, and eventually sides with the heroes later on.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Del Rio voices him with a slightly deeper inflection than he does Pit. Not so much "evil" as "AntiHero", though.
* EvilTwin: Starts off as one toward Pit, but subverted midway through when he switches sides. Then he's more of a jerkish twin.
* EvilWearsBlack: To show his status as Pit's dark side. Downplayed in that he's neutral at worst.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Leads to Pit and Pitoo finishing a motto together in Chapter 21.
* FlawedPrototype: Sort of; it's stated that Pit smashed the Mirror of Truth before it finished creating Dark Pit. While there seems to be no other side effects (at least not any that have been explicitly linked to apparently being "incomplete" [[labelnote:*]]though it could be the cause of the {{Synchronization}} described below[[/labelnote]]), this is theorized by Palutena as to why Dark Pit holds no inherent allegiances, implying that a "completed" clone would've somehow been inherently loyal to the Underworld Army.
* {{Flight}}: Absorbs Pandora's power to be able to fly on his own. He loses this power in Ch 22 when the Rewind Spring revives her.
* {{Foil}}: To Pit. The two are on opposite ends of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism. Pit is the optimistic idealist who believes in the good of everyone, human and gods alike. Dark Pit, however, is fully aware that humans are bad and the gods are possibly worse. Also, while Pit is extremely loyal to Palutena, Dark Pit holds no allegiance to anyone but himself.
* ForgotICouldFly: He only uses his Pandora-stolen Power of Flight (and incredible boost it gives his ranged attack prowess) as the chapter-end boss in Chapter 6. Also, [[InvertedTrope inverted]]; after Pandora revives in the Rewind Spring, he briefly forgot that he ''couldn't'' fly.
* GoodFeelsGood: Heavily implied to be the reason he keeps coming back to save the day and help Pit, not that he'll admit it.
* GoodIsNotNice: He may share Pit's sense of justice, but he's nowhere as nice as him due to his fierce independent streak and his tendency to speak his mind. Especially shown during the Chaos Kin boss battle where if you hit him by accident, he'll hit back.
* GoodWingsEvilWings: Has dark teal wings (although they appear black in different lighting, or when he's using Pandora's powers to fly), in contrast with Pit's white wings.
* HeelFaceTurn: Probably the biggest thing that sets him apart from all the other evil counterparts of other Nintendo heroes (e.g. [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Dark Link,]] [[Videogame/SuperMarioSunshine Shadow Mario]], [[Videogame/MetroidPrime Dark Samus]], [[VideoGame/{{F-Zero}} Blood Falcon]], etc.)
* HotBlooded: A more subdued version, but it's still there.
* IWorkAlone: He explicitly states that he's "no pawn" and only serves himself.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Implied during the Chaos Kin arc. His soul is needed to revive the Chaos Kin according to the ash idol (and Viridi states that the Chaos Kin only went after the purest of souls), and according to Hades, Dark Pit's soul isn't your average one. Given that he's the manifestation of Pit's heart and being neutral at worse, it's quite justified that this trait be passed over.
* InSeriesNickname: Pit, Palutena, and every character in the game insists on calling him Pittoo (as in [[{{Pun}} "Pit Two"]]). And he doesn't like it one bit.
* JackOfAllStats: Much like Pit.
* JerkassHasAPoint: It's really difficult to disagree with him when he calls Palutena and Viridi out on how they abuse the world with their powers and blame it on humans. Even Palutena concedes he may have a point.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Abrasive, sarcastic, arrogant, and brash. But hardly a villain.
* TheLancer: Eventually becomes this to Pit.
* MultiMeleeMaster: Much like Pit. In Chapter 6, he can be seen wielding a Blade, Club, Staff, Palm, Cannon, and Bow. He will also be seen using whatever weapon Pit has on him when he breaks the Mirror of Truth, and in Chapter 22, he is playable, and can use any weapon in your inventory. After Chapter 6, he seems to settle into using a Silver Bow for land battle and a variant of the First Blade that shoots darkness in air battles.
* {{Naytheist}}: He dislikes taking orders from the gods and tends to view them as petty squabblers who cause most of the problems in the story... [[JerkassHasAPoint and he's not entirely incorrect]].
* NotDistractedByTheSexy: His reaction to seeing Amazon Pandora is that of confusion given that he doesn't stop attacking her and isn't convinced that's the real Pandora, whereas Palutena and Viridi are shocked and Hades is silent from the revelation.
* NotSoAboveItAll: The fact that he and Pit think the same way puts him in this category by default (as shown in Chapter 21, where they finished their motto that they both made up on the spot.)
* OffhandBackhand: To Pandora which doubles as an EstablishingCharacterMoment.
* OnlySaneMan: He tries to come off as one compared to everyone else. However...
* {{Parody}}: Of the DarkerAndEdgier EvilCounterpart character in games, like [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Shadow]]. His tendency to "fight for himself" is mocked by several characters, and a lot of his actions in general are mocked for being edgy for the sake of being edgy.
* PowerCopying: He absorbs Pandora's powers after helping Pit take her down. Downplayed, however, in that he mainly uses her power to help him fly by himself and never showcases any of Pandora's powers in his boss fights.
* PunnyName:
** Pit -> Pittoo (Pit Two).
** "Pittoo" also serves as onomatopoeia for the sound of ''someone spitting'', which makes his EmbarrassingNickname more insulting than other versions. Hades exaggerates it into the downright childish "Pitooey".
* RealityEnsues: In the English version of the game, Dark Pit arrives and performs a diving kick to take down the Underworld Gatekeeper and emerges completely unharmed, prompting Palutena to note that such a feat is usually not that effective. Sure enough, she's proven right in the Japanese version, where kicking the Gatekeeper ends up injuring his leg.
* RecurringBoss: Fought four times throughout the game, and his chapter has five different scenarios with two randomly selected each time you play plus the final time in center stage.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: As Pit's EvilTwin, he has the evil red eyes. He's a better guy following his HeelFaceTurn but you should still take warning.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Pit's red.
* ReverseGrip: When separating his bow into twin blades, he tends to hold one in this position, just like Pit.
* ShadowArchetype: Of Pit.
* SimpleStaff: One of his [[MultiMeleeMaster many weapons of choice]]. While he uses a Bow for most of the game, it's notable that there is a weapon called the Dark Pit Staff. Of course, since staffs are considered sniping weapons in ''Uprising'', he ends up fitting a [[ColdSniper different trope.]] In Chapter 6 he spends the flight section [[GetBackHereBoss "kiting"]] Pit, and one of the possible fights the game sets up with Dark Pit has him sniping at Pit from atop a mountain with his titular staff.
* SixthRangerTraitor: He was intended to be an EvilKnockoff of Pit that works for the Underworld Army, but he defected right after he was created and eventually goes on to aid Palutena's forces.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The Straight Man to Pit's Wise Guy.
* {{Synchronization}}: What happens to Pit, happens to Dark Pit as well... well, sometimes. Whether or not this due to being a FlawedPrototype as described above or simply inherent to being Pit's clone is unknown.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: The very first thing he did upon creation was deliver an OffhandBackhand to Pandora and help Pit take her down. Palutena theorizes that he turned on the Underworld Army because Pit smashed the Mirror of Truth before he was completed.
* {{Tsundere}}: The Japanese version of the game aims for Dark Pit being a Type A instead of the lone wolf that he is portrayed as in the English version.
* TwinTelepathy: During certain portions of the game, he and Pit seem to be able to connect at certain points. Viridi even comments on it.
* WhenHeSmiles: The ending of ''Uprising''. He also smiles whether he wins or [[GracefulLoser loses in ''Light versus Dark''.]]
* WildCard: And damn proud of it. He's unpredictable to the point you don't know who he'll side with until [[HeelFaceTurn he officially sides with Pit later on in the game.]] ''Smash 4'' reveals that he currently works for the Forces of Nature post-''Uprising'', though as he states "Viridi's interests and mine just happen to overlap," this is likely a temporary arrangement.
* WingedHumanoid: He's an angel, so it's to be expected.
* WingsDoNothing: Averted at first. Absorbing Pandora's power allowed Dark Pit to fly on his own. He loses this power in Ch 22 when the Rewind Spring revives her.
* WouldHitAGirl: Especially if she is Pandora.

-->''"My name's Magnus, by the way. Don't hit me, and we'll get along just fine."''
The most powerful human warrior of all. As a member of a roaming mercenary group, he has triumphed in countless brutal missions.
* AntiHero: In that he's OnlyInItForTheMoney. That being said, he's far more heroic than the standard AntiHero.
* BadassBaritone: Courtesy of Creator/FredTatasciore.
* BadassNormal: He's a human warrior who can face off against supernatural foes with nothing but his sword. Naturally, this is constantly lampshaded.
* {{BFS}}: It's so big that Pit's version of the weapon is classified as a Magnus ''Club''.
* BladeAcrossTheShoulder: His default pose.
* BrutalHonesty: Magnus doesn't pull punches nor minces words. If he's got something to say, he'll say it flat out.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: He's only a baseline human, but able to beat down and overpower the Underworld forces by himself.
* CloseRangeCombatant: He attacks solely with melee attacks seeing as how he lacks the ability to shoot projectiles with his weapon.
* CrusadingWidower: It is mentioned by Palutena and his idol description that he had lost a child to the Underworld Forces. He doesn't talk about it much, if at all.
* DeadpanSnarker: Has his moments.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: This memorable line in Ch 2.
-->'''Magnus''': Hey, if you're chatting with your precious goddess, give her a message from me. Tell her she's been sleeping on the job! My world is on the edge of collapse.
* DualBoss: With Gaol in chapter 24.
* DubNameChange: From "Magna" in the Japanese version. Justified, Magna is the ''feminine'' form of the word in Latin.
* {{Expy}}: His whole chapter and involvement with Gaol is a WholePlotReference to ''{{Manga/Berserk}}'', which would cast him as Guts.
* {{Foil}}: Serves as one to Pit. Both are skilled warriors, but unlike Pit, who [[HotBlooded charges into battle with guns ablazing]], Magnus handles situations with a more tactical approach.
* FriendlyRivalry: With Gaol, according to the Magnus & Gaol idol.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: It's implied that he goes off living the mercenary life whenever you're not with him.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sure, he claims to be OnlyInItForTheMoney and doesn't act very polite, but he genuinely cares about other people and is open to the idea of working together with Pit.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A surprisingly heroic one for a blatant AntiHero.
* LightningBruiser: Though he's slightly slower than Pit, he can still move pretty fast. He's also strong enough to take on Underworld monsters by himself.
* MeaningfulName: Magnus is Latin for "great" or "powerful", which characterizes his role as the strongest human warrior quite nicely.
* {{Naytheist}}: While working with Pit in Chapter 2, he tells Pit to let Palutena know that she's slacking off and his world is on the brink of collapse because of it.
* {{Nerf}}: His sword lacks the charged shot that Pit can get (as a club). This means you're forced to fight enemies in close-combat while you're controlling him. The Centurions can be the death of you in the highest difficulties.
* PeoplePuppet: Becomes one briefly in chapter 18 when Pit takes control of him.
* PunchClockHero: He outright states that he does what he does for money. That said, he's still a pretty cool guy.
* RatedMForManly: Deep voice, gruff exterior, muscles, and he's a mercenary to boot.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The straight man to Pit's wise guy.
* TattooedCrook: Has red tattoos on his right arm.
* TooManyBelts: He has three around his chest, and three on each leg.
* WhamLine: Yesterday?! Try ''THREE YEARS'', buddy!
* WorldsStrongestMan: Strongest human warrior in the world.

The Nurse from the Hospital who removes the Eggplant Curse.

[[quoteright:261:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_2poseidonart_4527.png]]
The God of the Sea. Normally neutral, Poseidon prefers to keep to himself and rule the seas while silently observing events on the surface. Annoyed by the antics of the Underworld Army, he aids Pit and Palutena by opening the sea to the Seafloor Palace.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Has bluish skin.
* BadassBaritone: Again, courtesy of Creator/FredTatasciore.
* BadassBeard: And it's quite long.
* BadassMustache: Big and busy.
* {{BFG}}: Does not use one, but a weapon called the Poseidon Cannon is modeled after him.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: His reasoning for sinking a city to stop the humans from becoming a problem.
-->'''Poseidon:''' Humans consist of equal parts hubris, envy, and deceit. Sometimes one has to put them in their place.
* MakingASplash: He's the God of the Sea, people.
* OneShotCharacter: Completely disappears from the plot after Chapter 7.
* OnlySaneMan: Unlike most of the other gods, he has more justifiable reasons for what he does (i.e. sinking a city when those in it were becoming a problem, without going off the handle like Viridi). Granted, however, it's difficult to judge how well he fits this trope due to his rather brief appearance in-story.
* ProngsOfPoseidon: [[CaptainObvious Fittingly enough.]]
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He only wears a white robe.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Sank a city when its inhabitants were becoming a problem. At least he's more calmer about it than Viridi.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_pyrrhon_final_6492.png]]
-->''"Pyrrhon senses danger... and now, Pyrrhon sees it!"''
The self-proclaimed Sun God. He is mostly seen as an oddball among gods. Seems to think he's a superhero.
* AffablyEvil: He's quite friendly, even after his true nature is revealed.
* AGodAmI: Technically, he's already one, but he plans to take control of the Aurum and become, in his own words, a "Level Infinity Epic Supergod-Plus!"
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Has red skin.
* AmbitionIsEvil: His desire to take control of the Aurum and be the strongest God resulted in him getting controlled instead, once the Aurum Brain resumed control.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: He's technically nude, but any naughty bits are nonexistent.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He presents himself as an eccentric, brash, but well-meaning character at first glance, then reveals himself to be far more dangerous than he looks.
* TheChessmaster: He was using everyone's help to get to the Aurum Brain and gain control of the Aurum himself. His plan ends up backfiring about four minutes after his hijack, however.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: [[ObfuscatingStupidity Or at least he acts like one]].
* CreepyMonotone: As Aurum Pyrrhon. He even says "Ow" and "Shazamitylam" in monotone while fighting him.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: He's for all intents and purposes ''Kid Icarus's'' Human Torch, yet he's able to carry Pit without fear of burning him.
* DubNameChange: From "[[Myth/EgyptianMythology Raz]]" in the Japanese version.
* EvilAllAlong: His plan was to merge with the Aurum Brain to become the head of the Aurum HiveMind and become more powerful than the other gods. This backfires once the Aurum Brain takes him over. Though it seems that Pit defeating him brought him back to his senses, as Palutena mentions that he's pushing the Aurum away, though that may just be the massive fiery exhaust from him exploding pushing them away.
* EvilIsHammy: Played with. While he is ''undeniably'' hammy, once he reveals his true colors, he becomes progressively less so. This is due to the Aurum's personality override.
--> '''Aurum Pyrrhon: SHAZAMITYLAM.'''
* EvilIsNotAToy: Taking over the Aurum Brain backfires, as it outwills him eventually.
* FakeUltimateHero: It's eventually revealed he was merely using everyone to take control of the Aurum.
* {{Expy}}: Not of Helios the sun god but of Helios' son Phaethon. Phaethon wasn't acknowledged by the other Gods despite being one of them and took drastic action and demanded to drive his father's chariot to prove them wrong. Not only did it backfire on him, but it cost Phaethon his life.
* FlamingHair: His hair, like most of his body, is completely WreathedInFlames.
* FlyingFirepower: Can fly in the air and toss fire blasts at enemies.
* ForGreatJustice: He has a delivery, and its return address is '''JUSTICE'''!!! Subverted in the end, when it's revealed he plans to take control of the Aurum.
* FullFrontalAssault: He's completely nude.
* GemTissue: Pyrrhon has a green jewel on his forehead.
* GreenEyes: Has green eyes to match the green jewel on his forehead.
* HandBlast: Pyhrron uses this to attack the Aurum. '''Kablooey! Kablammy!''' The Burning Palm weapon, in addition, seems to be patterned after him.
* HeroicBuild: Bordering on WalkingShirtlessScene.
* IdiotHero: He's very heroic, but also very stupid.
* {{Kamehamehadoken}}: His Pyro Cannon attack, which he uses in Ch. 17.
* LargeHam: One of the biggest ones in the game. Given that ''Uprising'' takes place in a WorldOfHam, this is really saying something.
* {{Leitmotif}}: He has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2BRLPgd9rY&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LL5A68Xz9vd9pNuUOTW6GeBw a theme]] that plays when he's the focus of the scenes in chapters 15 and 17. The theme that plays during chapter 17 can count as a DarkReprise since it plays when he hijacks the Aurum.
* LightIsNotGood: He's the Sun God and is seemingly on everyone's side, but it's soon revealed he was using them to take control of the Aurum.
* LordErrorProne: He means well, but he can be reckless at times. Such as unintentionally making the Aurum Generator stronger with his firepower.
* MilesGloriosus: Minus the cowardice, at least. He's brash and brave to a fault.
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Palutena does this to him. His idol refers to him as the ''self-proclaimed'' sun god, so this may be because he's not actually a god.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: He ends up making the Aurum Generator stronger [[FeedItWithFire when he attacks it with fire.]]
* NoIndoorVoice: Shouts practically every line.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Seems like an oddball right? Not exactly...
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He's not nearly as dumb as people think he is. The rest of the cast figures this out all-too late.
* PlayingWithFire: He's the Sun God after all.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: Again, he's the Sun God.
* ShapingYourAttacks: Pyrrhon can mold his fire attacks into other shapes, his SignatureMove being the "Pyro Snake".
* SuperEmpowering: After merging with the Aurum Brain, he's capable of enhancing the Aurum troops with his fire powers.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Pyrrhon always refers to Pyrrhon by Pyrrhon's own name!
* TronLines: Has yellow markings all over his body.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Is never seen or mentioned again after the Aurum arc.
* WhatTheHellHero: He makes the fight against the Aurum Generator harder than it should be by attacking it with fire, and he just sheepishly mutters something close to "oops" and leaves Pit to fend for himself.
-->'''Pit''': Ugh, what an idiot!
* WikiWalk: This is heavily implied just by the mere mention of "Divinipedia". Of course, there's nothing really fishy with his knowledge about the Aurum, given he's the only one of all the gods who seems to know all there is know about them.
* WorthyOpponent: Viridi mentions that the only person he considers an equal is Pit.
* WreathedInFlames: He is constantly surrounded in a flaming aura.
* ZeroesAndOnes: Once controlled by the Aurum, proceeds to rattle off "KILL" in binary before fighting Pit.

A mysterious figure who is the owner of the Lightning Chariot.
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Character_chariotm_6868.png]]
* AlasPoorVillain: While villain is a stretch, his death is treated as this. Both Pit and Viridi felt it was completely pointless and both regret it had to come to that.
* AntiVillain: He really does nothing villainous, but Pit still has to defeat him to get the Lightning Chariot.
* DeathSeeker: Hinted at during his level and BossFight, and confirmed shortly afterwards.
* TheDisembodied: Stated by both him and his Idol description. His body has long been destroyed, and the only thing keeping him going is the fact that he follows the soldier's path in death.
* DubNameChange: From "The Main Tank" in the Japanese version.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: If he has a name beyond the Chariot Master, it's never been revealed.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: He dies peacefully and without regret after Pit defeats him.
* GracefulLoser: Takes his defeat and imminent demise quite well, possibly because [[DeathSeeker he wanted it this way.]]
* HighSpeedBattle: His BossFight consists of Pit and the Chariot Master chasing each other on separate chariots.
* HurtingHero: Heavily implied to be this.
* IHaveManyNames; Said almost verbatim during his introduction.
-->'''Chariot Master:''' I've had many names in my life, but now I am called the Chariot Master.
* NotSoAboveItAll: One test in his tower proves he's not above adding to [[ShoutOut/KidIcarusUprising the Shout-Outs page]].
-->'''Pit:''' Okay, so we've got rolling obstacles.
-->'''Viridi:''' And don't forget the jump pads!
-->'''Pit:''' This seems awfully familiar...
-->'''Hades:''' I guess the Chariot Master has played ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong''.
* OnlySaneMan: He's basically the only calm and reasonable character onscreen, considering when Pit encounters him.
* PlayingWithFire: Primarily tosses fireballs at Pit.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: His refusal to hand over the Lightning Chariot and forcing Pit to climb the tower to confront him was to test Pit and see if he was worthy to wield it.
* ShockAndAwe: Will occasionally call down lightning strikes.
* TheStoic: The most calm and levelheaded character in the game.

[[folder:Dyntos]]
!!!Voiced by: Koji Yada (JP), Alan Oppenheimer (EN)
[[quoteright:337:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_2dyntos_artwork_6850.png]]
The God of Smithing. He created the Three Sacred Treasures.
* AllPowerfulBystander: Is one of, if not the most powerful character in the series, outright stated to be more powerful than even Hades and Palutena. And yet he is content to merely forge weapons and replicas of assorted locations and enemies.
* BadassGrandpa: The oldest and most powerful character in the game.
* BaldOfAwesome: Justified in that he's old.
* CoolOldGuy: An old man who happens to be the most powerful character in the game and is a pretty fun guy to be with.
* DeadpanSnarker: Has his moments.
* DropTheHammer: His forge, which he uses to create his weapons.
* EccentricMentor: His manner of teaching Pit is odd, but he does want to help.
* {{Expy}}: Of the greek god of smithing Hephaestus who was known for making all the weapons for the Gods and keeping out of their affairs.
* TheJuggernaut: Potentially the biggest user of this trope in the entire game going by Palutena's description of Dyntos. To put it bluntly, he can recreate virtually anything and everything without any flaws for the most part[[note]]Pseudo-Palutena might be an exception[[/note]] and being able to make the copies of what he makes should they be enemies be far superior to their originals makes his actual power that's not seen even more frightening. The Great Sacred Treasure being his personal creation without it being based off of anything else as well as Pseudo-Palutena and the copy of the Immortal Phoenix, are three of his strongest creations and are no pushovers. He even managed to recreate [[OneHitKill Ornes]], Underworld monsters that Pit can only defeat with the Arrows of Light and most definitely with the Great Sacred Treasure which according to Dyntos, far surpasses the Three Sacred Treasures in terms of sheer power. Yeah, Dyntos is by far the most realistically powerful being in Uprising. This isn't even getting to where Dyntos isn't really showing his true potential...seeing how Pit's battle against the recreated Space Kraken takes place in '''OUTER SPACE'''.
* RealityWarper: Dyntos can do virtually '''''anything'''''. For starters, he can, among other things, create replicas of ''everyone'' in the game, from enemies to bosses and characters alike. He can even mess with their AI to make them tougher (Such as making an enemy move faster than it normally does). He can even replicate the locations Pit fights them in. He's also capable of replacing Palutena with a clone while ''putting the real Palutena to sleep'' despite her being miles away in Skyworld. What makes this frightening is that there seems to be virtually no limit to his powers and Palutena herself implies that he has none, period. As Palutena herself notes, he could potentially take over everything if he wanted to.
* StoryBreakerPower: Potentially. The speed at which he can make copies of ANYTHING, not to mention make them all superior, could easily see him as the ultimate conqueror if that's what he wanted to accomplish.
* TopGod: If not necessarily the absolute strongest, he's implied to be more powerful than any other god in the series. In addition, Palutena refers to him as Lord Dyntos, implying a position of high authority. Then again, if he's based on Hephaestus, it would make sense that he's stronger than the majority of the Gods given he makes the majority of weapons for said Gods and Goddesses and would know their strengths and weaknesses as a result.
* UltimateBlacksmith: Created the weapons in the game, including the Three Sacred Treasures and the Great Sacred Treasure; he's also made perfect copies of every enemy in the game, as well as a few of the bosses Pit has faced thus far. He's also said to be the one reverse engineering several enemy types (most prominently, the Aurum) into weapons for Pit.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Little Girl]]
A small child who lives in one of the human towns.
* EarlyBirdCameo: She appears in a flashback during Hades' made-up story in Chapter 11 before appearing in person.
* GrandTheftMe: A rare case where it's done by the hero of the story.
* ParentalAbandonment: They were allegedly run over by Hades by accident, although it's unclear if that actually did happen.
* SongsOfSolace: Her theme.
* StealthHiBye: After the ring is dropped, and the dog takes it, the girl literally disappears as soon as you turn around. Lampshaded by Pit.
* TheVoiceless: Doesn't say a word.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Dog]]
Another inhabitant of the town attacked in chapter 18. Loves to eat garbage in the town.
* ExtremeOmnivore: It eats garbage. Gets taken to the point that when you move too close to the garbage pail, the dog will automatically move towards it, even if you try to pull away.
* GrandTheftMe: Along with the little girl by Pit in chapter 18.
* IHaveManyNames: The dog's Idol description states that every human it runs into assigns it another name.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Great Sacred Treasure]]
A mech made by Dyntos to help Pit defeat Hades.
* AdaptiveAbility: It can change its form to adapt to damage.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Pit has to beat it in a boss battle before Dyntos lets him use it.
* ElementalPowers: Can [[BlowYouAway create tornadoes]], [[PlayingWithFire shoot fireballs]], and [[ShockAndAwe fire orbs of electricity.]]
* EleventhHourSuperpower: You only really use it for the FinalBoss.
* FinalBoss: Of the BossRush. Hades is skipped as the final battle takes up the entirety of the final chapter.
* GatlingGood: Its Pursuit Mode is equipped with a gatling turret.
* HumongousMecha: A flying one, at that.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddMecha: A TransformingMecha used to take on a PhysicalGod.
* LaserBlade: Uses one to slice Hades in half.
* LightningBruiser: Incredibly fast and very powerful.
* OneHitKO: Its ultimate attack can one-hit kill Pit and blast most of the arena during the battle against it. At the end of the final battle with Hades, you get to use it yourself to vaporize Hades once and for all.
* {{Orichalcum}}: What it's composed of, according to Dyntos.
* SecretAIMoves: Inverted. In its boss fight, it can pull off a multitude of attacks like shooting fireballs, creating tornadoes, firing orbs of electricity and the like. When playing as it, it only uses the light arrows and a fireball as its charged shot.
* TransformingMecha: According to its idol description, it can change its form to adapt to damage. It has a "pursuit" mode, "mech armor" mode, and an "ultralight" mode.
* WalkingSpoiler: As it only shows up for the final battle with Hades.

!Palutena's Army
[[folder:Pit]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/MinamiTakayama (JP), Creator/LaniMinella (EN, ''Brawl''), Troy Lund (EN, ''[[TheOtherMarty Uprising]]'' [[TheOtherMarty E3 Trailer]]), Antony del Rio (EN, ''Uprising'' & ''Smash 4'')
!!!Debut: ''VideoGame/KidIcarus''
[[quoteright:325:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_423px-250px-pit_uprising_6296.png]]
-->''"Sorry to keep you waiting!"''
The leader of Palutena's personal guard: though he is young, he is the greatest warrior angel in Palutena's forces. While Pit has wings, they're just for decoration. Usually he can't fly—it's a bit of a touchy subject.
* TheAce: It was said in game that he's the most competent member of Palutena's army, that's actually an understatement. He may not be able to fly on his own, but that hasn't stopped him from ''taking on entire armies by himself.'' In addition, he's literally gone through hell and back (as well as earth and space). Magnus notes that Pit is basically the only member of Palutena's army who can pull his own weight. During the course of ''Uprising'', he manages to kick the ass of literally ''everyone with a character portrait'' except for three people. [[labelnote:*]]Poseidon, Viridi, and Dyntos. But all three are justified for different reasons. Poseidon only showed up for Ch 7 to help Pit get to the Seafloor Palace and was never an enemy to begin with. For Viridi, circumstances in the plot forced the two of them to fight alongside each other rather than against each other. And Dyntos is implied to be even more powerful than Hades, who Pit could barely defeat without outside help.[[/labelnote]]
* {{Adorkable}}: You better believe it! His love for Nintendo video games, fanatical loyalty to Palutena, and general goofiness make him endearingly dorky.
* AFatherToHisMen: A sequence of dialogue in chapter 17 shows that he values the centurions' lives more than his own, and perhaps more impressively, the feeling is mutual.
* AffectionateNickname: For a certain use of the word "affectionate", Hades very often calls him "Pitty Pat".
* AintTooProudToBeg: In chapter 23, when faced with the possibility of being [[ToiletHumor defecated]] out of Hades' WombLevel, he absolutely freaks out and resorts to this:
-->'''Pit''': Okay, okay, fine! I give up! Please spare me! ''Please!''
* AllLovingHero: Pit is the kindest and most morally upright character in the game, friendly to everyone he meets. He always tries to see the good in everyone and will often work with his enemies if it means saving people. He will even forgive his enemies if they prove that they can reform. But if you prove to be truly beyond redemption, ''you will die''.
* AlmightyJanitor: Granted he makes use of weapons when not all of his opponents do, but he's still a servant of the gods that takes them on (including his boss) and wins. Though this is only in terms of the Gods he's fighting against. In the idol text and dialogue, he's mentioned to be Captain of the Guard.
* AndIMustScream: In chapter 18, he's stuck in a ring with no way to move or communicate with the outside world and the only way to get help is to hope someone grabs the ring so he can control them. Pit was very lucky that Magnus didn't leave the ring behind.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Downplayed. Pit is quite cocky and is a bit of a showoff, but he's a pretty friendly guy and does not view anyone as beneath him.
* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: Pit's HotBlooded nature can make him quite reckless at times. See NiceJobBreakingItHero.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Is the Captain of Palutena's Guard and the strongest soldier in her army, embarking on many perilous missions by himself.
* BadassAdorable: He's a cute, {{Adorkable}} angel with the mindset and body of a teenager. That said, he is anything but harmless.
* BadassBoast:
** His rally cries are meant to be this, but they don't really impress anyone. However, he can give some pretty good ones such as the one to Medusa and Hades. Special mention, however, goes to Chapter 21, where he and Dark Pit pull a perfectly sychronized BadassBoast by simply FinishingEachOthersSentences.

'''Pit:''' And anyone who doesn't want to die, too bad!\\
'''Both:''' ''Aww yeah!''
** There's also the one he gives to Hades during their final battle, right before he vaporizes him with the Great Sacred Treasure's Final Strike.
-->'''Pit''': I fight for all creatures living and breathing! I fight for all departed souls still hanging in limbo! But most of all, I fight for Lady Palutena, the Goddess of Light! And it's in all their names that I will crush you, Lord of the Underworld! I won't let you descerate another soul!
* BadassInCharge: Of the Centurions.
* BadassNormal: Pit has no actual superpowers of his own. All of the powers he uses in the game are granted to him by Palutena or Viridi. Does it diminish his ability to take on powerful gods and towering monsters? You wish.
* BashBrothers: With Dark Pit, eventually.
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Though it's never explained if he can actually breathe while in space. It's entirely possible that Palutena's magic helps him. It should be noted, however, that he cannot breathe underwater as he was very adverse about holding his breath during Chapter 7.
* BattleCry: Pit loves doing this to look cool in front of his opponents. His AR description even says he practices to make them cool. These end up parodied most of the time as they rarely impress or intimidate anyone. Particularly in Chapter 23 where Pit attempts to do the rally cry he and Dark Pit did in chapter 21 by himself only to fail miserably. Hades doesn't miss a beat in Lampshading it.
-->'''Hades:''' My innards have ''so'' longed to hear your battle cry. How could you forget the words?
-->'''Pit:''' I didn't have time to rehearse! I've been busy fighting evil, okay?!
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: A fun trick players can do is have Pit beat a boss with the matching weapon. (Beat Twinbellows with the Twinbellows Cannon, Gaol with the Gaol Blade, Hewdraw with the Hewdraw Club, etc.)
* BerserkButton: Has a few good ones that you should never press.
** Bringing up or mocking why he can't fly is a touchy subject.
** Also, don't make fun of Palutena, don't insult Palutena and definitely don't '''harm''' Palutena in his presence as his reactions range from shock to a very understandably all out rage. When Hades makes jokes or unhappy comments regarding Palutena, Pit understandably goes mad. It's better shown when Hades comments that Pit may have to kill his Goddess in the Chaos Kin Arc and Pit calmly yet in a rather scary tone tells Hades to shut up. Later on when he's performing the trials to obtain the Great Sacred Treasure, Dyntos puts Palutena to sleep and pits a copy of her against Pit. Pit suffice to say is not pleased at all and ends up calling Dyntos out for this act. Thankfully his concern about this copy being the real comes to an end when the copy shows 'her' real face resulting in Pit being happy that he chose to attack. His victory taunt also shows how unimpressed he is with Dyntos for making a copy of Palutena, Dyntos was probably just amused. Upon learning from Viridi that the Chaos Kin was controlling Palutena, Pit becomes enraged.
-->'''Pit:''' Take that you fake![[note]]His victory taunt upon defeating Pseudo-Palutena.[[/note]]
-->'''Pit:''' Where do you think '''YOU'RE''' going?![[note]]During the aerial section and upon finding the real Chaos Kin, Pit becomes very angry when he sees it flee.[[/note]]
-->'''Pit:''' [[YouMonster You're going to pay]] [[ThisIsUnforgivable for what you've done Chaos Kin!]][[note]]Pit's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the Chaos Kin.[[/note]]
** Lastly, don't threaten humanity at all, later on Pit also react the same way if nature is threatened. Medusa, Viridi, Chaos Kin then Hades all learn this the hard way when they each get their turn to be punished. If he's pressed to it, Pit will make you pay for your actions and you'll come to regret it at some point.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a friendly little angel, quick to wisecrack and joke and is one of the nicest guys in the game, but if he's given a reason he can and he ''will'' kick your ass, no matter who you are. And damn if he doesn't make it look awesome.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Pit is probably the biggest ButtMonkey in the entire series, but that does not stop him from being one of the best soldiers in Palutena's Army.
* {{BFG}}: The Great Sacred Treasure's gun, which he uses to finish of Hades, dwarfs his body.
* BifurcatedWeapon: His bow.
* BigEater: Pit eats a lot of food... as long as it isn't eggplants, tempuras or vegetables in general.
* BishieSparkle: Pit sparkles when he does his little speech to Pandora before their battle in ''Uprising''.
* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Notably the only character in the series who runs on this in contrast to everyone else's BlackAndGreyMorality.
* BodyguardingABadass:
** His job as Captain of the Guard is to protect Palutena despite the fact that she's a goddess and is more than capable of taking care of herself. Best exemplified in Palutena's reveal trailer for ''Smash 4''.
** It's more justified in ''Uprising'' since Pit is on of the three strongest characters in the series[[labelnote:*]]Hades exceeds him without the Great Sacred Treasure and Dyntos exceeds them both. Along with everything else in the series, apparently.[[/labelnote]] and Palutena is a GlassCannon at best. Brought to horrifying clarity during the Chaos Kin battle, where Pit can kill Palutena '''by accident''' because she was between him and the Chaos Kin.
* BodyHorror: When Pit is turned into an eggplant or tempura it comes off as this given that he only has legs and can't really fight back. To make matters worse, he can be ''eaten alive'' if he's a tempura, which is one of the only instant KO's' in the game. And then Chapter 18 has him stuck in a ring.
* BodySurf: In Chapter 18, Pit goes from a little girl, to a dog, to Magnus before he manages to reunite with his own body.
* BoisterousBruiser: For the most part, Pit is very confident in his combat abilities and is not easily intimidated in battle.
* BookDumb: "[[NeverLearnedToRead I never learned to reeeead!]]"
* BowAndSwordInAccord: His Bow can separate into twin blades for melee combat, effectively combining the two tropes into one.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Pit constantly lampshades tropes and cliches about the game and its bosses, like how the title "Dark Lord" is overused and so on.
* BreakTheCutie:
** [[WhamEpisode Chapter 18.]] Pit's entire faith in Angel Land and fighting for justice is destroyed in a blink of an eye, the people that considered him Captain are now attacking him, and the BrainwashedAndCrazy Palutena calls him a "puppet" and says she doesn't want to deal with him anymore. He gets over it (for the most part) in the next chapter, but it doesn't change the fact that those words will probably stick with him for a long time.
** It gets worse. Chapter 19, Hades and Viridi constantly lay the smack down of insults on him, and without Palutena to support him, Pit progressively gets quieter with the chapter (but he does get louder when he's asking Viridi if he's at the top of the tower yet). And then comes Chapter 20, where some of his insecurities are let loose as Palutena continues to berate him for being useless and naive. When he finally saves her from the Chaos Kin, though, he has to watch as her soul is ripped out of her and she turns to stone. And when he spends chapter 21 trying to get it back and succeeds with the help of Dark Pit, the Chaos Kin wanted to make sure Pit suffered and tried to take Dark Pit down with him. Pit's response is to dive in and save him, causing his wings to burn up in the process. And even though chapter 23 treats Pit's SanitySlippage moment lightly, given what happened in the previous chapters, it's not hard to think he actually lost it.
* BrokenAngel: His wings burn up in Chapter 21, when he saves Dark Pit from Chaos Kin.
* BuffySpeak: "That sounds hurty."
* BunnyEarsLawyer: A very capable fighter and leader despite his childish ways.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: A heroic example. When confronting Thanatos in Chapter 7, the God of Death is insulted that Pit doesn't remember him, causing the angel to quip that he's faced so many enemies that he can't remember them all.
-->'''Pit:''' Sorry. There's just so many foes and only one of me.
* ButtMonkey: He's this in Uprising where it's quite difficult to find a character that ''doesn't'' make some sort of comment at Pit's expense. Also Lampshaded.
-->'''Pit''': "What is this, "Everybody Pick On Pit" day!?"
* CallOfTheWildBlueYonder: Pit wishes he can fly by himself, instead of having to use the Power of Flight or the Pegasus Wings.
* CarFu: Is more than willing to run over enemies in his [[CoolCar Exo-Tank]].
* CatchPhrase:
** "I'm finished!", [[LampshadeHanging at least according to Palutena]]:
--> '''Palutena''': "Listen to that swagger, you're toughened up nicely. Remember when you'd be like "I'm finished!" all the time?
--> '''Pit''': "I... still say that... a lot..."
** Averted in ''Of Myths and Monsters'' where you just turn into a ghost with a halo and float away.
** Brought back in ''Uprising'''s death screen, complete with the original 8-Bit text and music.
** He also says "Prepare to meet the light" a number of times in Uprising.
* CaptainObvious:
--> '''Pit''': Hey, look! It's an Exo-Tank!
--> '''Hades''': Hey, look! Who cares?
* TheChewToy: Much of the humor in ''Uprising'' comes at his expense.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Pit strives to save everyone he can, no matter whether they are enemy or ally, even if it's to a personal cost to himself. In Chapter 21, he didn't hesitate to save Dark Pit and begged Viridi to activate the Power of Flight knowing full well this would kill him.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Whenever Pit is talking to himself, he comes up with the strangest things imaginable. He even impersonates Palutena and Viridi at one point.
* ColonelBadass: There are multiple references in the game that Pit is one of the higher-ups in Palutena's army. He also notes during the Chaos Kin arc, when replacement MissionControl Viridi acts like he's enlisted under her and commands him to clean latrines, that he's a commissioned officer. Possibly a FourStarBadass instead; it's not shown if anyone besides Palutena outranks Pit.
* CombatPragmatist: While not to Dark Pit's extent, some of the Powers Palutena grants him (I.E. Playing Dead and Vanish) has Pit using some underhanded tactics.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: He's prone to this at times.
* CoolCrown: Wears a Laurel Crown in ''Of Myths and Monsters'', ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', and ''Uprising''.
* CosmicPlaything: A more direct example than most, as the [[JerkassGods forces that be]] ''really are'' ribbing on him mercilessly.
* CovertPervert:
** If this conversation in ''Uprising'' is any indication.
--> '''Palutena:''' That's not all I can see, Pit. I can also see what's in your heart.\\
'''Pit:''' Oh... heh heh. That's really... something...\\
'''Palutena:''' So you'd better not be thinking about anything... ''naughty''.\\
'''Pit:''' What?! How did you--\\
'''Palutena:''' Just kidding! Seriously, reading hearts through laurel crowns?\\
'''Pit:''' [[ImplausibleDeniability I know... I was... also kidding...]]
** The Japanese version has Pit admitting that he is a pervert... just a little bit.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: While he does have plenty of harebrained moments and is a genuine goofball besides, Pit is still much more competent than he lets on.
* DeadpanSnarker: Surprisingly one of the least snarky characters [[WorldOfSnark compared to everyone else]], but he still has his moments.
* DeathIsCheap: He and all of Palutena's army are revived when they die. Unlike the Centurions, Pit is not weak because he has a motivation to toughen up: protect Lady Palutena.
* {{Determinator}}: Pit ''never'' gives up. Not even when the world is in ruins, Palutena has become BrainwashedAndCrazy, and he's been trapped in a ring for three years. Once Pit sets his sight on a mission that he can't afford to give up on, he'll plow through anything that tries to slow him down, best example is during the Chaos Kin Arc when he's in the Chaos Vortex. He flies through the place searching for the Chaos Kin and once Viridi helps him find the real one, he becomes incredibly determined to defeat it even when his Power of Flight is running low on time. Then once on land, he completely tells Viridi that if the only way to defeat the Chaos Kin and save Palutena's soul is to endure several tedious battles that he would outlast all the enemies hurled at him. He does just that for at least half of the time until [[TheCavalry Dark Pit]] shows up to assist. Sure you can slow him down for some time using methods that may seem pretty sound, but Pit will eventually reach you while he's making his way to where you are located and take you out once he finds you.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: It's his job description!
* TheDitz: Downplayed and Subverted. Pit's [[{{CloudcuckooLander}} kooky]], can't read, and [[HotBlooded rushes into fights]], but he's also incredibly experienced in combat and as shown in Chapter 23, he's perfectly capable of coming up with tactics on his own.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Despite his BigEater tendencies, he's shown to ''hate'' vegetables, especially eggplants. This stems from his unpleasant encounters with the Eggplant Wizards.
* DualWielding: His Bow, Claw, and Orbitar weapons all come in pairs.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Unless you count the powers Palutena grants him, he has no superpowers of his own.
* EmptyEyes: In Chapter 18 of ''Uprising'', Pit's body is shown to have these without his soul to guide it.
* EmptyShell: Without his soul, Pit's body is a mindless husk with no emotions or willpower of its own. The Chaos Kin takes advantage of this after imprisoning Pit's soul in a ring, commanding it to indiscriminately kill humans and monsters alike.
* {{Expy}}: Of the two Greek mythology heroes: Icarus and Perseus. With the former, while not a hero, Icarus is notorious for flying too close to the sun and getting his wings burned in the process, leading to his death. This is Pit's fate at the end of Of Myths and Monsters, as well as happening twice in Uprising (chapter 17 and 22). For the latter, the entire story of Perseus from saving his mother figure by slaying Medusa with the help of the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena, with one of the weapons being a shield to protect yourself from Medusa's stare in the original game.
* ExtremeOmnivore: According to Palutena, this angel will eat anything - especially the unusual stuff and "questionable things off the ground".
-->'''Pit:''' [[BreakingtheFourthWall "FLOOR ICE CREAM GIVES YOU HEALTH!"]]
* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: A victim of this at the end of Chapter 21; his wings are horribly burned, to the extent that the ''bones'' are visible.
* FanDisservice: He gets a ShirtlessScene in Chapter 21...because his tunic is burnt up along with his wings, and his wings being burnt have left him critically ill. It flips back into {{Fanservice}} in the next chapter when he's revived via the Rewind Spring, where he shows off quite a muscular physique for someone who looks so young.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Leads to Pit and Dark Pit finishing a motto together in Chapter 21.
* {{Foil}}: For two characters.
** To Magnus. Both are skilled, veteran warriors, but their methods are as different as night and day. Pit is the HotBlooded, "Shoot-first-don't-bother-with-the-questions" guy who charges in guns ablazing while Magnus is the more tactical one, always planning his moves out. This is best shown in Ch 18 where Magnus actually advises Pit on how to proceed.
** To Dark Pit. The two are on opposite ends of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism. Pit is the optimistic idealist who believes in the good of everyone, human and gods alike. Dark Pit, however, is fully aware that humans are bad and the gods are just as worse. Also, while Pit is extremely loyal to Palutena, Dark Pit holds no allegiance to anyone but himself.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Whilst Dyntos is discussing how he added more monsters than necessary to Palutena at the end of Chapter 24, Pit is flying the Great Sacred Treasure in the background... only to then crash on the ground.
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Starts to show shades of this in chapter 23. He even points out that he needs to escape before he really does lose it.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Pit's usually the NiceGuy most of the time, but if Palutena gives the order to fight, ''he's not holding back''.
* HandicappedBadass: He's an angel who cannot fly. It doesn't slow him down in the slightest.
* TheHero: The brave and idealistic angel beating down the forces of evil.
* {{Heroic RROD}}: He nearly dies saving Dark Pit from Chaos Kin, and manages to do so... at the cost of Pit's wings burning up when he catches him. He's out of commission for Chapter 22 as a result.
* HeroicResolve: In spades. If there's even a ''small'' chance he can save someone, he'll find a way.
* HoldingBothSidesOfTheConversation: His doing this in Chapter 23 makes it very clear that the Gods constant deriding of him is having a negative effect, because during this time when he's inside Hades and thus cut off from them, he subs ''himself'' in for them because of how used he is to their banter. His Viridi impersonation is an obvious mockery, but his Palutena impersonation is disturbingly accurate in wording.
* HotBlooded: In one particular moment Magnus gives him advice on how to proceed tactically, while Pit in his hot blooded glory just goes in guns blazing (it's almost [[LampshadeHanging Lampshading]] the nature of the game).
* HypercompetentSidekick: He's essentially Palutena's NumberTwo with all that it entails and he's very, very good at his job despite his goofy and dorky personality.
* HypocriticalHumor: In a random conversation that may occur in chapters 19 and 20 if Pit is using a cannon, he says that humans cannot be trusted with grenade launchers because they're go around shooting everything. The irony is not lost on Viridi.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Even Palutena herself is unable to sway his sense of righteousness, and the physical manifestation of his "dark side" is neutral at worst.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: The Great Sacred Treasure, used in the final battle against Hades. It was previously the Three Sacred Treasures, but they have been rendered obsolete as Pit no longer needs them to defeat Medusa, and they prove completely ineffective against Hades.
* InfinityMinusOneSword: The Three Sacred Treasures are this as of ''Uprising'' where they are displaced by the Great Sacred Treasure.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Has blue eyes and is the most alturistic character in the game.
* InTheNameOfTheMoon: Pit does this a whole lot in complete adoration to all that is Palutena and light beating darkness, and even his special idol description says that he practiced to make one. Parodied a few times as well. Special mention goes to his speech with Pandora which features an over-the-top sequence that even has him sweep his hair with BishieSparkle.
--> '''Pit''': Pandora! Underling of Medusa floating before me! It's time for you to atone for your crimes! I am Pit, servant of the Goddess of Light! And [[PunctuatedForEmphasis You! Are! History!]]\\
'''Palutena''': *Deadpan* What was that all about?
** He gets a surprisingly serious one right before fighting Medusa in Chapter 9, with poses specifically designed to showcase the Three Sacred Treasures (although it looks a bit daft if you choose not to wear them).
--> '''Pit:''' Listen well, all you demons of the Underworld! In the name of the Goddess Palutena, defender of all that is good! Those who reside in darknesss will be made to face the light!
* IronicName: Although it probably comes from the -pid part of Cupid, it's still kinda funny that the winged guy is named 'hole in the ground', which Viridi takes note of.
* JackOfAllStats: In gameplay. He's fast, but not that fast. He's strong, but not that strong. His strength lies solely in the weapon and the player's skill.
* TheJuggernaut: The primary playable version of this trope, although it's mostly shown in Chapters 19-21 and 23-Final. This trope comes into play when Pit becomes dead serious to accomplish his objective and it turns him into a serious LightningBruiser. It's more present in his motivation and dialogue than his in-game durability and power unlike the other beings who actually prove this trope.
* {{Keet}}: He has energy to spare. This trait is especially noticeable when he's around Magnus.
* KidHero: Played with. Pit has the appearance of a young teenager, and has the personality to match, but he's older than he appears.
* KirkSummation:
** To Medusa in chapter 9 after he tells her to [[ShutUpHannibal shut up.]] Also doubles as TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
--> '''Pit:''' You shut your mouth, Medusa! Lady Palutena is ''nothing'' like you! Who turns people to stone? Who poisons rivers? Who reduces cities to rubble? And who is leading the Underworld invasion of the land and heavens?! ''Not'' Lady Palutena! ''You're'' the one responsible for all this, Medusa!
** He also gives a good one to Hades, who for the entire game up to that point had been constantly riffing on Pit's seeming IdiotHero nature. Bear in mind, this happens during a point where Pit is completely at Hades' mercy and cut off from every ally he has (even Palutena) and where Hades had insulted his intelligence yet again merely seconds beforehand.
--> '''Pit:''' We're all responsible for maintaining a certain order in the universe. As lord of the Underworld, you know this better than anyone. But your greed has thrown everything out of order. You've overstepped your bounds by exploiting and desecrating souls. And you've disrupted the balance between the earth, the heavens, and the Underworld.
* KleptomaniacHero: Played with:
--> '''Pit''': Yeah! A treasure box!\\
'''Magnus''': That's clearly a trap. Think about it. Who would leave treasure just lying about outside?\\
'''Pit (at player's behest):''' ''*Opens treasure box. Monsters appear.*''\\
'''Magnus''': What is wrong with you?\\
'''Pit''': If there's a treasure box, I open it! I can't help it!\\
'''Magnus''': OK, we'll see how long you'll survive with that strategy!
* KnightInShiningArmor: Considering he's a literal angel and a trained warrior, it's to be expected.
* LadyAndKnight: The Knight to Palutena's Lady.
* LetsGetDangerous: At the beginning of Chapter 21, instead of waiting for the door to open, he busts the door down.
-->Pit: Hold on, Lady Palutena! I'm coming for you!
* LightIsGood: An angel with white clothing who is a servant of the Goddess of Light and TheHero of the series.
* LimitBreak: Each of Pit's weapons has a special attack that can be used during air battles.
* LiteralMinded: At times, such as this exchange in Chapter 2:
-->'''Magnus''': So, you're here for a slice of the pie, too?\\
'''Pit''': Huh? Pie? Where?
* LuminescentBlush: He gets flustered very easily and does this as a result, as shown when Phosphora teases him. This is Lampshaded by Palutena.
-->'''Palutena:''' [[ButtMonkey He embarrasses easily.]]
* MadeOfIron: Pit can take quite a beating for someone of his size. Over the course of the game, he's been thrown around, beaten up, burned, electrocuted, ''eaten,'' having fallen from the sky on multiple occasions, nearly got his ''wings burned off and near death'' and comes out no worse for wear. Ch. 21 in particular had him engaging the Chaos Kin in a dogfight, literally fighting his way through ''13 waves of replicated enemies from'' '''''every''''' ''faction'', fighting the Chaos Kin ''again'' on foot and showing no signs of tiring.
* MindControlEyes: His soulless body in Chapter 18.
* MistressAndServantBoy: In his relationship with Palutena, though Pit is the Captain of the Guard.
* MixAndMatchWeapon: All of his weapons from ''Brawl'' onward do double duty as both melee and ranged, even swords, bows, and clubs.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
** His reaction after defeating Dark Lord Gaol, where it's revealed that [[SamusIsAGirl he's actually a she and she's actually a human.]] Palutena thankfully cheers him up by telling him that Gaol is still alive.
** Takes a much more serious tone in Chapter 19 when he kills the Chariot Master. Both he and Viridi felt his death was completely pointless and regret it had to come to that.
* MoralityPet:
** For Viridi. The only explanation given for why she helps him and never sees any consequences for her actions is that she's developed a soft spot for him.
** It's also implied his innocence and trust makes him one for even Palutena herself somewhat, which is likely why he was sealed in the ring when she gets possessed.
* MultiMeleeMaster: In ''Uprising'', most of his clubs are used for melee attacks, and he also goes hand-to-hand with claws, wields blades, and of course has his trusty bows which split into twin swords.
* NeverLearnedToRead: By his own admission, in the English localization. In the Japanese version, he instead says that he wanted to die with a full belly.
* NiceGuy: Kind, compassionate, and very easygoing.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Nice job Pit, you just killed the Phoenix. Now Hades can set his master plan in action. And then you destroyed the Lunar Sanctum. Have fun dealing with the EldritchAbomination you unleashed. Though to be fair, Pit had no choice but to kill the Phoenix, as [[XanatosGambit doing nothing would allow the Phoenix to attack humanity.]] Also, [[PoorCommunicationKills Arlon never explained what the Lunar Sanctum's purpose was]], so Pit couldn't know what would happen.
* NumberTwo: To Palutena.
* OhCrap: Given the entire plot in the game, Pit gets a good amount of moments where his lines directly come from him realizing how bad his situation is or if he thinks that something bad will happen. In the former, it's usually when the enemies keep swarming him, for the latter, his reaction comes from entering or being in certain areas for some time. Then there are times where he plays this trope for the laughs although to him it may not originally be very funny.
-->'''Pit:''' Uh-oh...[[note]]This is very close to [[ThisIsGonnaSuck 'you just didn't say that just now, did you!?']] when Phosphora calls Palutena 'ma'am' which is one of the latter's [[BerserkButton berserk buttons]].[[/note]]
-->'''Pit:''' [[OhCrap So...many...enemies...]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: In the first game he's a trained soldier, yet in ''Uprising'', which takes place a full [[RealitySubtext 25 years later]], he's still practically a teenager. [[WordOfGod Sakurai]] even tweeted Pit's body is that of a 13 year old.
* OneManArmy: While Medusa, Hades, and Viridi send in hordes of monsters to attack, Palutena just sends in Pit. She ''does'' have plenty of Centurions, but they're all so weak that Pit is basically the main muscle of her army. He's just that good. Lampshaded by Magnus in Chapter 18.
--> '''Magnus''': You're the only member of Palutena's Army that can pull his own weight. Don't get me started on the Centurions. Sure, they're a ton of them, but they're all pretty flimsy.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Resembles a classic winged angel, but he can't fly on his own. Some of his weaponry also stray away from the norm for angels.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: A heroic and lighter example than most but still prevalent. Any place Pit enters will inevitably be destroyed. Lampshaded by Viridi in chapter 12.
--> '''Viridi''': This coming from the flying munitions depot himself? You're as destructive as a hundred Reset Bombs!
* PintsizedPowerhouse: He's the same size as a regularly human, but he can take down creatures that reach colossal sizes.
* PowerDyesYourHair: In the first game Pit's hair starts off light brown, becomes green at 2 strength, purple at 3, dark brown at 4, and blue at 5. In the best ending, his hair goes back to being light brown in his adult form, and it stays that colour regardless of strength in every other game.
* RainOfArrows: The Bow's special attack.
* RedOniBlueOni: Red Oni to anyone's Blue Oni most of the time, particularly Dark Pit and Magnus. Though he dipped into Blue Oni territory during ''Uprising'''s Chapter 20, [[TranquilFury in which he was unusually serious.]]
* ReverseGrip: When separating his bow into twin blades, he tends to hold one in this way.
* RoaringRampageOfRescue: The entire description of his actions in Chapter 20 and the first part of his reasons in the following chapter. This combined with his nearly unrivaled [[{{Determinator}} willpower]] makes it almost impossible to slow him down at all. So far only the Chaos Kin was able to slow him down during his rescue mission thanks to throwing 13 waves of enemies at him without slowing down and later on at Dark Pit as well but that barely slows either of them down.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Woe to anyone who gets the sheer [[TranquilFury devotion]] and [[UnstoppableRage attention]] by pressing making him go [[BerserkButton ballistic]]. This combined with his completely monstrous [[{{Determinator}} willpower]] results in him being able to endure and come out as the victor in many battles that he normally wouldn't be able to handle alone. Although Pit's demonstration of this trope is more of a version of TranquilFury, he uses this trope so effectively when he sets his sight on an enemy he can't afford to lose to. This trope is the second half of his line of reason in Chapter 21, resulting in him trashing at least 7-8 waves of enemies by himself before losing his momentum just because he's that '''ticked off''' at the Chaos Kin. In his final battle against Hades, Pit performs this trope to the extreme by literally taking on Hades in order to kill the Underworld Ruler for his massacre of innocent lives and causing many unneeded wars.
* SanitySlippage: Played with and [[DefiedTrope defied]]. During Chapter 23, Pit starts talking to himself and acts like he is on the verge of losing his mind... but, at the end of his rant, he lampshades how he needs to get out of Hades before he REALLY goes crazy.
* SarcasmBlind: Which is ironic, considering he has his own DeadpanSnarker moments.
* ScrewYourself: There are quite a few fans who think he'd make a cute couple with his clone, Dark Pit.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Magnus' Manly Man.
* ShipTease: With Viridi in Chapter 16 and with Phosphora in Ch 14.
* ShirtlessScene: [[WrongGenreSavvy No, it's not related to his love for hot springs]]. Rather, it's when his wings burn off when rescuing Dark Pit from the Chaos Kin.
* ShockAndAwe: The Blade's special attack calls down lightning bolts.
* ShutUpHannibal:
** To Medusa in Chapter 9, followed by a KirkSummation.
** Also to Hades in Chapter 23, though only just barely.
* SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers: He has a song that goes "you gotta stay upbeat, upbeat, upbeat. Or you're gonna be dead meat, dead meat, dead meat". Dark Pit, naturally, thinks it's annoying.
* SkilledButNaive: He's a skilled and powerful fighter, but he's somewhat dim, and he fully believes in BlackAndWhiteMorality.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Despite being a HotBlooded CloudCuckoolander and the fact that he NeverLearnedToRead, Pit is actually quite cunning and much smarter than people give him credit for when he puts his mind to it.
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: As expected from an archer.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The Wise Guy to anyone's Straight Man, especially Dark Pit and Magnus.
* SubmissiveBadass: In his relationship to Palutena. He's more than capable of doing things on his own, but he has enough respect to refer to her for advice.
* SuperSentaiStance: He does one when he first fights Medusa in Uprising, [[SoBadItsGood and it]] is awesome.
* SwordAndSorcerer: The Sword to Palutena's sorcerer. Pit is the main weaponmaster of the game while Palutena relies on light magic.
* TemptingFate: This exchange between him and Palutena at the end of Ch 13, three years before everything goes to hell in a handbasket.
-->'''Palutena:''' But what's that thing breaking free?
-->'''Pit:''' Oh, I'm sure it's nothing.
* ToHellAndBack: As mentioned above, his job takes him all over the world. From Skyworld, to the Overworld, to the Underworld, to outer space, and even different dimensions.
* TooMuchInformation:
** Says the acronym when Arlon mentions his... loins.
-->'''Pit''': TMI! Nobody wants to hear about your loins!
** Magnus seems to have the same reaction when Pit mentions his "sacred buns".
* TookALevelInBadass: Shown if you clear Chapter 9 without using the three treasures. In the first one, Pit could only take down Medusa with the three sacred treasures. In Uprising, he can take her down without them.
* TranquilFury: Only demonstrates this once and that's in chapter 20 when Hades mockingly presents the very real possibility that he may have to kill the possessed Palutena. His response is to calmly, bluntly tell Hades to go home... or in other words, to ''go to Hell.''
* TwentyFourHourArmor: He tells Magnus he ''never'' takes off his uniform. Even while bathing. Ew. Apparently, it saves on laundry!
* TwinTelepathy: During certain portions of the game, he and Dark Pit seem to be able to connect at certain points. Viridi even comments on it.
* UndyingLoyalty:
** For Palutena. He even gives an awesome ShutUpHannibal to Medusa when she tries to give Palutena TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
** Even when Palutena was BrainwashedAndCrazy, he would not give up on her, not even when forced to fight her. Viridi lampshades his dedication.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: While Pit doesn't merit ''all'' the blame, him destroying the Lunar Sanctum did not end well for anyone involved. See NiceJobBreakingItHero.
* VSign: After defeating Hades, in ''Uprising''.
-->''Victory!''
* WeaponOfChoice: Nine different classes.
** CoolSword: Blades are [[JackOfAllStats well-balanced with melee and ranged shots]].
** SimpleStaff: Staves have [[SniperRifle excellent range]], but [[CripplingOverspecialization are less-than-impressive at close range]].
** WolverineClaws: Claws are [[FragileSpeedster fast, but rely on rapid-fire and quick combos to deal damage]].
** TheStraightAndArrowPath: Bows have the best homing capabilities and [[BifurcatedWeapon split into two blades]] for melee. The Palutena Bow has become his signature weapon outside of ''Uprising''.
** PowerTattoo: Palms don't slow Pit down, but [[DeathOfAThousandCuts don't exactly have the best damage output]].
** CarryABigStick: Clubs [[MightyGlacier deal massive damage, but are hard to lug around]] and [[CripplingOverspecialization have no continuous fire]].
** {{BFG}}: Cannons fire [[StuffBlowingUp explosive charged shots]], but don't have the best range.
** AttackDrones: Orbitars hover at Pit's sides, trading [[MoreDakka damage output for rate of fire]].
** PowerFist: Arms have [[CloseRangeCombatant powerful melee attacks]], but subpar range.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: He won't hesitate to put the smackdown on Underworld monsters, the Forces of Nature, or the Aurum... but as soon as he discovers that Dark Lord Gaol was a human woman upon defeating her, he's absolutely horrified and has a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment. Furthermore, when Viridi brushes off his objections to her genocidal hatred of humanity by accusing him of being the same way towards Underworld forces, Pit replies that it's ''not'' the same because unlike her, ''he's'' destroying evil ("It's totally different! Look it up.").
* WideEyedIdealist: Despite the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism in ''Uprising'', Pit is very optimistic and has high hopes in the human race, despite the game showing time and time again that the [[JerkAssGods Gods are Jerkasses]]. He is also fiercely loyal to Palutena and Angel Land, no matter what. The fact that this view is attacked when Palutena gets brainwashed does affect him, though even then he doesn't stray from what he believes in, even if it means beating some sense into Palutena herself.
* WingedHumanoid: He's an angel, so it's to be expected.
* WingsDoNothing:
** Played with. By default, Pit can't fly -- as a result, his wings are merely decorative and, at most, can slow his fall (''Of Myths and Monsters''). However, he can fly if he uses one of the Three Sacred Treasures or the Power of Flight. Also, in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' games, he has temporary flight as his third jump.
** It's implied that they may contain his lifeforce, or at least that he can't live without them. When he burns his wings to the bone, it nearly kills him. Part of the reason Palutena wants to heal him so badly is certainly that he loved to fly and wanted nothing more than to fly on his own, but it seems like having burnt wings is quite literally killing him and the only way to save him is to restore his wings.
* WouldHitAGirl: When most of them are trying to kill you, it's pretty justified.
* YesMan: To [[UndyingLoyalty Palutena.]] Phosphora even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it.

[[folder:Palutena, Goddess of Light]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/AyaHisakawa (JP), Creator/AliHillis (EN, ''Uprising''), Brandy Kopp (EN, ''Smash 4'')
!!!Debut: ''VideoGame/KidIcarus''
[[quoteright:325:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_palutena_uprising_8994.jpg]]
-->''"Despite the Underworld invasion, the people haven't given up hope!"''
The goddess of light and ruler of Skyworld, Palutena goes to great lengths to protect her people, and those who dwell on the surface lands below.
* {{Adorkable}}: She may be an elegant goddess, but Palutena has a lovable, trollish GenkiGirl personality and behaves similarly to many geek girls in RealLife. Taken UpToEleven in ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner'', where she's probably at her cutest!
* AndIMustScream: She suffered under the Chaos Kin's control for ''three years'', being unable to control her body while her soul was constantly under threat of being consumed.
* AttackDrones: Her boss battle has her summon two orbs of light that follow Pit around and fire lasers at him.
* BadassBookworm: Going hand in hand with her role as [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]], Palutena is the most knowledgeable god in the game.
* BadassInCharge: Of Skyworld and the Centurions.
* BadassInDistress: Throughout the course of the series she has a distressing (no pun intended) habit of being caught off-guard...
* BathtubScene: In the beginning of ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner, Pt. 2''.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: The Goddess of Light, the BigGood of the game, and very beautiful.
* BerserkButton: ''Don't'' call her ma'am.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Palutena's one of the more pleasant Gods in the game for the most part (though she still has her [[GoodIsNotNice vices]].) However, as Hewdraw learned the hard way and as her BossFight shows [[labelnote:*]]not that [[PintsizedPowerhouse Pit]] doesn't still end up kicking her ass like he does everyone else's, though[[/labelnote]], if forced to take a more direct approach, she'll happily remind you why she's the Goddess of Light.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: She's more GenkiGirl than goddess, but she's far from harmless.
* BeyondTheImpossible: During ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner'', when she discovers that the Vegetable Monster is vulnerable to water, she uses her Power of Malestorm to create a storm ''indoors.''
* BigEater: Judging by her banter with Pit, during which she'll randomly talk about everything from the great meal they could make out of the Kraken to Phoenix eggs making wonderful omelets. Likely where Pit gets it from; Viridi has to snap the both of them out of ordering a pizza during the [[AlienInvasion Aurum invasion]] of all things.
* BigGood: The goddess of light and ruler of Skyworld.
* BluntMetaphorsTrauma: She insists she always gets those sayings correct, so maybe not.
* BossBanter: In ''Uprising'' with Pit, and when he's busy either Viridi or Hades. Especially shown in her boss fight, where most of her attacks are telegraphed by a specific phrase.
-->''"Time for a sacrifice!"''
-->''"This might sting!"''
-->''"Poor you!"''
-->''"Cover your eyes!"''
-->''"Fly away now!"''
-->''"Come out!"''
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: During the Chaos Kin arc in ''Uprising''. The catch is you have to beat her up without killing her or else you fail the mission.
* BreakoutCharacter: Since she got so many fans, she gets her own special and become a playable character in ''Smash''.
* ButtMonkey: "Palutena's Revolting Dinner" puts her in this position, getting hung upside-down, attacked by carrots, and having giant pumpkins explode in her face, all because she was distracted while adding a potion.
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Medusa's Cain.
* CaptainObvious: Most of her dialogue revolves around her stating the obvious in the Japanese version instead of teasing Pit. Lampshaded by Viridi in Chapter 15.
-->'''Viridi:''' All hail the goddess of obvious.
* CharacterExaggeration: Palutena messes with Pit '''''far''''' more often in the English dub than the original Japanese.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Can come off as this due to her tendency to change the subject and bring up food at random times.
* CoolCrown: A golden crown with a red jewel embedded in it.
* CoolSword: Does not use one, but the Palutena Blade is modeled after her.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Green hair and green eyes.
* DeadpanSnarker: Not as often as most characters, but she has her moments.
* {{Expy}}: Of the Greek goddess of wisdom Athena, right down to her immature GoodIsNotNice attitude. She actually started out as an interpretation of Athena herself, under the name "Parthena" (an alternate rendering of "Athena".) Transliteration to Japanese further rendered this as "Palutena", which for whatever reason wasn't reverted back to the correct Latin spelling when ''Kid Icarus'' was brought overseas and thus stuck as her actual name globally. Combined with DivergentCharacterEvolution as her character was fleshed out and her primitive NES appearance developed into a unique design of its own, and she's much less a direct interpretation of Athena nowadays and more her own character, even if she remains her analog in-universe.
* ExtremeOmnivore:
** Similar to Pit, it's implied she'll eat anything. She even makes jokes about how the idea of Pit being turned to a crisp from the lightning might sound delicious, but that she would pull him out of the area where the lightning struck.
** It's also demonstrated in ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner'' where despite the fact that the carrots have been overdosed with her rejuvenation potion and are now ''sentient'', she ''still'' intends to eat them.
* FanservicePack: She's noticeably curvier in ''Smash 4'', though her design is otherwise unchanged from her ''Uprising'' appearance (itself a more youthful refinement of her initial ''Brawl'' redesign, which in turn was much more glamorous than her original look.) Each successive game seems to push her a little bit further into MsFanservice territory, despite not starting out as one.
* FantasticNuke: Her Palutena Glam Buster or the Sacred Goddess Clobberlaser which she uses to finish off Hewdraw.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Subtle, but there; she's only wearing a stocking on her left leg and her right leg wrap is VERY slightly different from her left leg wrap.
* FlunkyBoss: Her boss fight has her occasionally summon Centurion Knights to aid her.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Medusa. Both of them ruled Skyworld together, but the two are quite literally as different as night and day. Palutena is the benevolent Goddess of Light, Medusa is the vindictive Goddess of Darkness. Palutena has light powers to contrast Medusa's dark magic and her clothing is white to contrast Medusa's purple dress. Palutena cares deeply for humanity and wishes to protect it. Medusa despises humanity and wishes to see it destroyed.
** To Viridi. Both characters help Pit out during the game and both of them have similar powers, but their stances on humans are polar opposites of each other. Viridi believes that humans are inherently evil and destructive and incapable of change while Palutena is aware of their flaws, but believes that humans can grow and learn.
* TheGadfly: ''Uprising'' has her messing with Pit non-stop. Her pranks range from not warning Pit when she's going to speed his wings up to ''deliberately using him as bait to lure out one of the Hewdraw heads'' (again not surprising since she's based on Athena). Hell, there's a little comic for the post-game option of turning off all dialogue:
-->'''Pit:''' I'm in trouble here, Lady Palutena!\\
'''Palutena:''' ''([[DissonantSerenity serene smile]])'' '''You can do it, Pit.'''
* GenkiGirl: If her special anime short and her constant teasing with Pit are anything to go by, she's just a bit like this. Of course, this makes her look less heavenly than previously envisioned.
* GodIsFlawed: This is why she takes a strong stance on protecting humanity. She's fully aware of how flawed humanity can be, but also knows that gods can be just as bad, if not worse than humans and when they fight, humans are innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.
* GodOfGood: She's the Goddess of Light who helps Pit protect humanity from evil. Though she is hinted to have a darker side to her.
* TheGodsMustBeLazy: Invoked: Magnus outright accuses her of "sleeping on the job" in Chapter 2, much to her annoyance.
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Her outfit is predominately white and gold, and she is of course the goddess of light.
* GoodIsNotNice: According to the other Gods and Goddesses, Palutena isn't really the nicest of them all as Pit makes her out to be. Given that she is a [[TheGadfly Gadfly]] and some of her actions are questionable, it's not hard to see why everyone is wary of her. Though she's still much more pleasant than the other gods.
* GreenEyes: To match the green hair.
* HeroicWillpower: As pointed out by Viridi in Chapter 21, the fact that Palutena was able to resist having her soul devoured by the Chaos Kin proves she has incredible willpower.
* HerosMuse: Most of what keeps Pit going is his devotion to her. He even outright admits that the reason he fights is because of her. Whether this is an idealistic sort of hero worship or if he just has a crush on her is left largely to the viewer's imagination - there's evidence for either, or both.
* HotGoddess: Oh yes. Especially in ''Smash 4'', although she was already getting pretty cute as of Uprising.
* HumansAreFlawed: She's fully aware of the flaws of humanity, but at the same time, she's aware that gods can be just as bad, if not worse. She protects them because while humans may fight with each other a lot, when it comes to wars between gods, they're innocent bystanders.
* JerkassGods:
** Played for laughs.
-->'''Pit:''' But you would NEVER abuse your power, right?\\
'''Palutena:''' Of course I would! It's all part of the Goddess's job description.
** Most of the time, anyway. More and more hints at a darker side of this appear as the game goes on, such as when close to the initial Medusa battle and ''especially'' during the "Ring of Chaos" arc.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She enjoys making a ton of jokes at Pit's expense, but she does genuinely care about him.
* KingOfAllCosmos: She can certainly dip into this, and many other characters tend to point out when she screws up/teases too much/acts hypocritical. Her apotheosis of this is seen whenever she cooks.
* LadyAndKnight: The Lady to Pit's Knight.
* LargeHam: Well, more of a ''small'' ham when compared to [[WorldOfHam everyone else]], Pit included. Her attempts at it sound decidedly more forced than the rest, meaning you'll either be laughing or facepalming in response. Even when possessed by the Chaos Kin, she's still quite over the top, and very expressive in her boss battles.
* LethalChef: Figuratively and literally in ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner.'' Though nothing in the short actually suggests she's a bad chef. Just a little too easily distracted while handling powerful potions.
* LightEmUp: She ''is'' the Goddess of Light after all.
* LightIsGood: The Goddess of Light and the BigGood of the series.
* LightIsNotGood: When possessed by the Chaos Kin.
* LongRangeFighter: Prefers to keep her distance from opponents and fire energy blasts. However, her appearance in ''Smash 4'' shows she can definitely handle herself up close.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Has a mirror shield that she uses in battle.
* MaamShock: Dislikes it so, even if the lifespan of gods is implied to be eternal.
* MamaBear: Toward Pit If chapter 21 and 22 aren't evident enough. In Viridi's own words, she was willing to ''cheat death'' in order to save Pit in chapter 22.
* MindOverMatter: Chapter 18 shows she has powerful telekinesis, able to toss pieces of Skyworld itself at Pit. Carries over into ''Smash 4'' where some of her attacks have her telekinetically twirling her staff at opponents.
* MissionControl: Until Chapter 18, when she becomes BrainwashedAndCrazy, leaving Viridi to fill her position. Fortunately, it's not permanent.
* MistressAndServantBoy: In her relationship with Pit, though Pit is the Captain of the Guard.
* AMotherToHerMen: Even though she can and does revive the Centurions when they die, she still doesn't like to see them get hurt, so she rarely sends them to fight.
* MsFanservice: Increasingly. The [[http://i.imgur.com/5hfz2.jpg Bathtub Scene]] in ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner'' is a stand-out example. ''Smash 4'' heavily plays this up, with several MaleGaze shots during her newcomer trailer and even a ''pole-dance taunt'' in-game.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After being saved from the Chaos Kin, the expression she has clearly says this. Especially when Pit nearly gives up his life for Dark Pit, burning his wings up in the process.
* MysteriousWaif: Interestingly, her rare AR card idol mentions that her history and motivations are little known. Even in ''Uprising'' she gets some questions that she doesn't answer truthfully.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: There is virtually ''nothing'' this girl can't pull out of her bag of tricks. It's basically Power of (''insert whatever power the plot needs here.'')
* NotSoAboveItAll: For a goddess who rules over a mystical land, she sure doesn't act like it, if ''Uprising'' onward is any indication. This is no surprise given that she's based on Athena.
* OpaqueNerdGlasses: She does this trope in one scene, but you're most likely going to miss them since you're busy blasting enemies away[[labelnote:*]][[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/palutenawithglassesbetter_3045.jpg If that's the case, here is a lovely photo of it]][[/labelnote]]. Alternatively, she does use them in two extra tutorials' artwork (if you bothered to watch the How To Play videos, that is).
* PhysicalGod: DistressBall aside, she's a very powerful goddess and had no qualms demonstrating it. Best shown in the Air Battle of Chapter 3 when Pit's fighting Hewdraw. If he takes too long to defeat him, Palutena will use her Sacred Goddess Clobberlaser (Or Palutena Glam Blaster), a ''giant column of light'', to ''oneshot'' it. She also showcases other godly powers throughout the game such as her ''sneeze causing a meteor to change course'' at one point during Chapter 13 or creating an opening through a large storm cloud to get to Phosphora's Thunder Cloud Temple in Chapter 14. Chapter 18 has her telekinetically tossing large pieces of Skyworld itself at Pit. Gets taken to its logical conclusion in Chapter 20, where she serves as the chapter's boss and if her dialogue to Pit in ''Smash 4'' is any indication, she may have only been using ''a fraction of her actual power''.
* PimpedOutDress: In the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' games and ''Uprising''.
* PluckyComicRelief: During ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner''.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair reaches her knees.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: While her true age is unknown, she's obviously much older than she appears. She is young by goddess standards, though, as WordOfGod states she's 22 years old in human years. Lampshaded in the banter between her and Phosphora in Chapter 14.
-->'''Phosphora:''' You're right, I'm sorry. You're ''much'' too young to be called "ma'am".\\
'''Palutena:''' You know as well as I do the lifespan of gods. And how about ''you?'' What's ''your'' age?\\
'''Palutena and Phosphora:''' I'll tell you ''mine'' if you tell me ''yours!''
* RequisiteRoyalRegalia: Dresses quite elegantly as befits a goddess.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness:
** Dips into this when she's teasing Pit.
-->'''Palutena:''' The monster situation is quite clamant.
-->'''Pit:''' Is... that a good thing?
-->'''Palutena:''' You know. It's importunate, or unpropitious.
-->'''Pit:''' Are you still speaking English right now?
-->'''Palutena:''' I'm sorry Pit. I didn't mean to confuse you. Here, let me make this easy for you. Big monsters kill Pit! Grr!
-->'''Pit:''' Ah! That makes perfect sense! Thank you!
** And when Pit faces off against the Hewdraw head.
-->'''Palutena:''' Despite my winsomeness and equanimity, I do have a strong streak of rascality.
-->'''Pit:''' I don't even know what that means!
* ShesGotLegs: And loves to show them off, particularly in ''Smash 4'' during her taunts.
* ShipperOnDeck: An easy to miss moment shows her teasing that Viridi has a soft spot for Pit.
* ShowSomeLeg: She loves to show off her legs. Especially in ''Smash 4''
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner'' has her enduring some very AmusingInjuries, and in ''Smash 4'', she's subject to the same punishment every other fighter is.
* TheSmartGirl: She's one of the smartest Goddesses out there, according to the others. And it shows: she has information on (almost) every single enemy, and she's very rational in comparison to the other Gods. Then again, she is based on Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom.
* StaffOfAuthority: Like the other goddesses, she has one too.
* StoryBreakerPower: She's shown to be strong enough to easily win the day if she did things herself. That said, she's happy playing MissionControl to our protagonist.
* SwordAndSorcerer: The Sorcerer to Pit's Sword.
* TheTease: Started becoming this as of ''Uprising'', and ''Smash 4'' takes it UpToEleven.
* TakenForGranite:
** In ''Of Myths and Monsters'' when Orcos kidnapped her at the end.
** Also during ''Uprising'', although she did it to herself as a precaution, as revealed by Petrified Palutena's idol.
* UnwittingPawn: After the Chaos Kin breaks out of the Lunar Sanctum, it possessed Palutena for three years and used her to wreak havoc on the human realm.
* WomanInWhite: To further cement her status as the Goddess of Light.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Palutena has long green hair to match the green eyes.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Centurion]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_727px-centurionuprising_8454.jpg]]
Palutena's ordinary soldiers. Unlike the other gods, she usually doesn't bother sending them out because they're rather weak and she doesn't like to see them get hurt, and Pit is already a strong enough military on his own.
* AbnormalAmmo: Centurion Strongarms will throw ''dumbbells'' at Pit for a ranged attack.
* BladeOnAStick: The weapon of choice for the Centurion Knights.
* DeathIsCheap: Through dialogue and their Idols, ''Uprising'' reveals that the Centurions can be revived. Pit believes this is why the Centurions are so weak. They have no incentive to get stronger if they'll just get revived.
* DubNameChange: "Ikaros" ("Ikaroses"?) in the Japanese version.
* DumbMuscle: The Strongarm Centurions are this. Even Pit says they're all brawn, including their brains.
* EliteMook: The Centurion Knights.
* EscortMission: Two Centurion Strongarms need to be defended by Pit in order for him to reach Pyrrhon during the second half of Chapter 17. If both are killed the first time, Palutena will summon two more, but if those are killed, its a NonStandardGameOver.
* {{Flight}}: Despite their tiny wings, they can fly.
* GagNose: All Centurions have large noses.
* {{Irony}}: They're more of a threat when they turn against their leader.
* JavelinThrower: Centurion Knights will toss their spears for a ranged attack.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Centurion Knights come equipped with shields. Unfortunately for them, they can easily be destroyed.
* OneHitPointWonder: In the first game, it only takes one hit to bring one down. ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' takes it a step further by having them expire as soon as they hit their target.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Their wings are on their heads rather than their backs.
* RedShirtArmy: These guys die so much that even Palutena jokes about it.
* TakenForGranite: In the original, Medusa turned them all into stone. In order to get them back, Pit had to use a hammer to free them.
* TopHeavyGuy: Centurion Strongarms.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Pit. Especially shown during the Aurum arc where despite knowing full well they would probably be killed, they still helped Pit defeat the Aurum.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: In ''Uprising'', the Strongarm Centurions are capable of powerbombing Pit and Magnus when they appear as enemies in Chapter 18 and 20, although they can't grab you while you're in the middle of a melee combo.

!!!Voiced by: Creator/MinamiTakayama (JP), Antony del Rio (EN)
[[quoteright:325:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_darkpit_artnew_5487.png]]
-->''"Hey there, Pit-stain."''
A mysterious black-winged angel. He can soar through the skies without being granted the power of flight -- and seems determined to face Pit in battle.
* {{Adorkable}}: He's no different from his light counterpart.
* AntiHero: He started out as an opponent for Pit who was unaffiliated to the Underworld Army despite being created by Pandora's Mirror of Truth, only fighting Pit for his own reasons. But after realizing that [[CantLiveWithoutYou killing Pit means he'll die as well]], he warms up to Pit and becomes one of his most important allies.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Downplayed. He's supposed to be the embodiment of Pit's dark side, but Pit is so inherently kind and pure that the only negative traits he embodies are Pit's brashness, sharp tongue, arrogance, and thrill for battle.
* ArchEnemy: Seems to have found one in Pandora.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: As a manifestation of the darkness in Pit's heart, Dark Pit represents some of the traits Pit keeps to himself - such as a rather arrogant personality and his thrill for battle, which for Dark Pit goes beyond being HotBlooded into being an arrogant BloodKnight (Or at least at first)
* AscendedExtra: He was originally just a palette swap of Pit in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''.
* BadassAdorable: Like his light counterpart, he can kick ass, as shown in chapter 9 when he literally falcon kicks the mini boss at the beginning when Pit can't do any damage with the Sacred Treasures. Ironically in the Japanese version, kicking the enemy actually resulted in him being injured instead of coming out with no scratches like in the English version.
* BadassBaritone: It's Pit's voice with a deeper inflection.
* BadassDriver: Dark Pit has a tendency to take the Lightning Chariot and ram it at his opponents when Pit needs help.
* BashBrothers: With Pit, eventually.
* BerserkButton: Do NOT call him "Pittoo!"
* BlackAndGreyMorality: Unlike Pit, who sees the world in black and white, he sees things in black and grey. While the Underworld Army are indeed the villains, the Gods they serve aren't any better. He even calls the Gods out on how they treat the world with their powers and place the blame on humans; Palutena even admits he's right.
* BloodKnight:
** Implied by the following exchange, though he gradually grows out of it after some CharacterDevelopment:
--> '''Palutena:''' Pittoo just isn't happy unless he's fighting someone.\\
'''Dark Pit:''' You say that like's a bad thing!
** And earlier in Chapter 9:
--> '''Pit:''' What are you doing here?
--> '''Dark Pit:''' The same thing you're doing, pummeling Underworld fools. I'm just way better at it.
--> '''Palutena:''' Maybe you also sensed that Pit could use your help.
--> '''Dark Pit:''' Don't make me laugh. Now enough talky talk! There's fighting to be done!
* BreakTheHaughty: According to Chapter 21, the reason for Dark Pit [[HeelFaceTurn switching sides]] is because he found out that he can't live without Pit. He won't go into details on what happened to him while Pit was in the ring, but it wasn't pleasant, to say the least. Pit [[HeroicSacrifice nearly dying]] for his sake is enough for him to fully switch sides and be Pit's ally.
* BroughtDownToNormal: After Chapter 22, he loses his power to fly independently as a result of Pandora's revival.
* BrutalHonesty: If the [[JerkassGods Gods are Jerkasses]], he'll say it to their faces.
* ButtMonkey: He may be the ShadowArchetype of Pit, but that doesn't make him immune to the abuse his alter ego suffers. Almost every character refers to him as [[EmbarrassingNickname Pittoo]], and Pit kicks his ass several times over the course of the game.
* CanonImmigrant: He made his debut in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' as a [[EvilCostumeSwitch simple color change for Pit]]. He was notable for changing Pit's color more dramatically than any of the other costumes, which really only changed his tunic color and slightly changed his wings' tint.
* CantLiveWithoutYou: Dark Pit's change of heart comes when he finds out killing Pit means he dies as well.
* CarFu: Rams the Lightning Chariot into the Chaos Vortex to prevent the Chaos Kin from escaping. He also rammed the chariot into Hades so he could grab Pit and escape with him.
* CloningBlues: It's not fun being seen by the world as nothing more than Pit's EvilKnockoff and getting slammed with a nickname that basically means "spit".
* CombatPragmatist: Whether it's against Pit or the Underworld army, he has a habit of attacking them when they least expect it.
* TheComicallySerious: Hades claims he has no sense of humor. In return, Dark Pit just ignores him, unlike Pit.
* CoolCrown: Wears one just like Pit.
* DarkerAndEdgier: He's far more serious and cynical than Pit and isn't one to play nice. But if the game isn't taking things seriously, [[ButtMonkey he also won't be taken seriously.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: He's the AnthropomorphicPersonification of Pit's dark side, but is only neutral at his worst.
* DeadpanSnarker: Being the manifestation of Pit's more negative qualities, Dark Pit is a little more loose with the snark.
* DefrostingIceKing: After some CharacterDevelopment, he softens up to everyone around him, going as far as to save Pit from death.
* {{Determinator}}: He is determined to save Pit after the latter saved his life from Chaos Kin. At the cost of losing his ability to fly, he manages to bring Pit's wings back.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: After healing Pit, he decides to fly off rather than try and explain why he helped, forgetting that he'd lost the power of flight that he stole from Pandora.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: In Ch 22, he calls out Palutena and Viridi for damaging the world with constant wars and blaming it on humans.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Literally. The first thing he does upon being created from the Mirror Of Truth is casually backhand Pandora.
* DubNameChange: From "''Black'' Pit" in the Japanese version.
* DynamicEntry:
** In Chapter 9, he charges in from out of nowhere to deliver a literal flying kick to the Underworld Gatekeeper, dropping the boss that Pit was struggling to damage even with the Three Sacred Treasures. Palutena notes that "face-kicking isn't usually this effective."
** In Chapter 20, he comes out of nowhere to slam the Lightning Chariot into the closing portal to the Chaos Vortex, expanding it for him and Pit to enter.
* EarlyBirdCameo: One of Pit's alternate colors in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' is basically Dark Pit with normal Pit's eye color.
* EnemyWithout: Downplayed. He's the personification of Pit's worst qualities...but Pit is such a NiceGuy that his "worst qualities" are his sarcastic sense of humor, brashness, and stubborn behavior.
* EmbarrassingNickname:
** "Pittoo", courtesy of Palutena. He's known as Bla-Pi or Kuro-Pi in Japan, short for Black Pit or Kuro Pit, and [[SdrawkcabName Tip]] in French. Regardless of the version, he hates it.
** Hades takes it a bit farther and gives him the downright childish name of ''Pitooey''.
** He's less prone to reacting to it as time goes on in ''Uprising'', although he'll still snap at Pit for calling him that in ''Smash 4''.
** It also hasn't stuck completely. In ''Smash 4'', the others actually call him "Dark Pit" when merely talking ''about'' him, but use "Pittoo" to his face, possibly to get a rise out of him (such as Pit greeting him in Dark Pit's codec conversation, and [[{{Troll}} Palutena's]] victory quote against him.) Even the crowd calls him Pittoo when cheering for him.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Like his light counterpart, he has no superpowers of his own and the powers he uses come from gods.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first thing he does upon his creation is to deliver an OffhandBackhand to Pandora when she orders him to kill Pit, showing he takes orders from no one.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He's absolutely ''disgusted'' with both the Chaos Kin and Hades for desecrating and eating souls, explicitly describing Hades' usage of souls to create monsters as "the sickest thing [he's] ever heard".
* EvilKnockoff: Was supposed to be one of Pit for the Underworld forces. He's really just neutral at worst, and eventually sides with the heroes later on.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Del Rio voices him with a slightly deeper inflection than he does Pit. Not so much "evil" as "AntiHero", though.
* EvilTwin: Starts off as one toward Pit, but subverted midway through when he switches sides. Then he's more of a jerkish twin.
* EvilWearsBlack: To show his status as Pit's dark side. Downplayed in that he's neutral at worst.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Leads to Pit and Pitoo finishing a motto together in Chapter 21.
* FlawedPrototype: Sort of; it's stated that Pit smashed the Mirror of Truth before it finished creating Dark Pit. While there seems to be no other side effects (at least not any that have been explicitly linked to apparently being "incomplete" [[labelnote:*]]though it could be the cause of the {{Synchronization}} described below[[/labelnote]]), this is theorized by Palutena as to why Dark Pit holds no inherent allegiances, implying that a "completed" clone would've somehow been inherently loyal to the Underworld Army.
* {{Flight}}: Absorbs Pandora's power to be able to fly on his own. He loses this power in Ch 22 when the Rewind Spring revives her.
* {{Foil}}: To Pit. The two are on opposite ends of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism. Pit is the optimistic idealist who believes in the good of everyone, human and gods alike. Dark Pit, however, is fully aware that humans are bad and the gods are possibly worse. Also, while Pit is extremely loyal to Palutena, Dark Pit holds no allegiance to anyone but himself.
* ForgotICouldFly: He only uses his Pandora-stolen Power of Flight (and incredible boost it gives his ranged attack prowess) as the chapter-end boss in Chapter 6. Also, [[InvertedTrope inverted]]; after Pandora revives in the Rewind Spring, he briefly forgot that he ''couldn't'' fly.
* GoodFeelsGood: Heavily implied to be the reason he keeps coming back to save the day and help Pit, not that he'll admit it.
* GoodIsNotNice: He may share Pit's sense of justice, but he's nowhere as nice as him due to his fierce independent streak and his tendency to speak his mind. Especially shown during the Chaos Kin boss battle where if you hit him by accident, he'll hit back.
* GoodWingsEvilWings: Has dark teal wings (although they appear black in different lighting, or when he's using Pandora's powers to fly), in contrast with Pit's white wings.
* HeelFaceTurn: Probably the biggest thing that sets him apart from all the other evil counterparts of other Nintendo heroes (e.g. [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Dark Link,]] [[Videogame/SuperMarioSunshine Shadow Mario]], [[Videogame/MetroidPrime Dark Samus]], [[VideoGame/{{F-Zero}} Blood Falcon]], etc.)
* HotBlooded: A more subdued version, but it's still there.
* IWorkAlone: He explicitly states that he's "no pawn" and only serves himself.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Implied during the Chaos Kin arc. His soul is needed to revive the Chaos Kin according to the ash idol (and Viridi states that the Chaos Kin only went after the purest of souls), and according to Hades, Dark Pit's soul isn't your average one. Given that he's the manifestation of Pit's heart and being neutral at worse, it's quite justified that this trait be passed over.
* InSeriesNickname: Pit, Palutena, and every character in the game insists on calling him Pittoo (as in [[{{Pun}} "Pit Two"]]). And he doesn't like it one bit.
* JackOfAllStats: Much like Pit.
* JerkassHasAPoint: It's really difficult to disagree with him when he calls Palutena and Viridi out on how they abuse the world with their powers and blame it on humans. Even Palutena concedes he may have a point.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Abrasive, sarcastic, arrogant, and brash. But hardly a villain.
* TheLancer: Eventually becomes this to Pit.
* MultiMeleeMaster: Much like Pit. In Chapter 6, he can be seen wielding a Blade, Club, Staff, Palm, Cannon, and Bow. He will also be seen using whatever weapon Pit has on him when he breaks the Mirror of Truth, and in Chapter 22, he is playable, and can use any weapon in your inventory. After Chapter 6, he seems to settle into using a Silver Bow for land battle and a variant of the First Blade that shoots darkness in air battles.
* {{Naytheist}}: He dislikes taking orders from the gods and tends to view them as petty squabblers who cause most of the problems in the story... [[JerkassHasAPoint and he's not entirely incorrect]].
* NotDistractedByTheSexy: His reaction to seeing Amazon Pandora is that of confusion given that he doesn't stop attacking her and isn't convinced that's the real Pandora, whereas Palutena and Viridi are shocked and Hades is silent from the revelation.
* NotSoAboveItAll: The fact that he and Pit think the same way puts him in this category by default (as shown in Chapter 21, where they finished their motto that they both made up on the spot.)
* OffhandBackhand: To Pandora which doubles as an EstablishingCharacterMoment.
* OnlySaneMan: He tries to come off as one compared to everyone else. However...
* {{Parody}}: Of the DarkerAndEdgier EvilCounterpart character in games, like [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Shadow]]. His tendency to "fight for himself" is mocked by several characters, and a lot of his actions in general are mocked for being edgy for the sake of being edgy.
* PowerCopying: He absorbs Pandora's powers after helping Pit take her down. Downplayed, however, in that he mainly uses her power to help him fly by himself and never showcases any of Pandora's powers in his boss fights.
* PunnyName:
** Pit -> Pittoo (Pit Two).
** "Pittoo" also serves as onomatopoeia for the sound of ''someone spitting'', which makes his EmbarrassingNickname more insulting than other versions. Hades exaggerates it into the downright childish "Pitooey".
* RealityEnsues: In the English version of the game, Dark Pit arrives and performs a diving kick to take down the Underworld Gatekeeper and emerges completely unharmed, prompting Palutena to note that such a feat is usually not that effective. Sure enough, she's proven right in the Japanese version, where kicking the Gatekeeper ends up injuring his leg.
* RecurringBoss: Fought four times throughout the game, and his chapter has five different scenarios with two randomly selected each time you play plus the final time in center stage.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: As Pit's EvilTwin, he has the evil red eyes. He's a better guy following his HeelFaceTurn but you should still take warning.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Pit's red.
* ReverseGrip: When separating his bow into twin blades, he tends to hold one in this position, just like Pit.
* ShadowArchetype: Of Pit.
* SimpleStaff: One of his [[MultiMeleeMaster many weapons of choice]]. While he uses a Bow for most of the game, it's notable that there is a weapon called the Dark Pit Staff. Of course, since staffs are considered sniping weapons in ''Uprising'', he ends up fitting a [[ColdSniper different trope.]] In Chapter 6 he spends the flight section [[GetBackHereBoss "kiting"]] Pit, and one of the possible fights the game sets up with Dark Pit has him sniping at Pit from atop a mountain with his titular staff.
* SixthRangerTraitor: He was intended to be an EvilKnockoff of Pit that works for the Underworld Army, but he defected right after he was created and eventually goes on to aid Palutena's forces.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The Straight Man to Pit's Wise Guy.
* {{Synchronization}}: What happens to Pit, happens to Dark Pit as well... well, sometimes. Whether or not this due to being a FlawedPrototype as described above or simply inherent to being Pit's clone is unknown.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: The very first thing he did upon creation was deliver an OffhandBackhand to Pandora and help Pit take her down. Palutena theorizes that he turned on the Underworld Army because Pit smashed the Mirror of Truth before he was completed.
* {{Tsundere}}: The Japanese version of the game aims for Dark Pit being a Type A instead of the lone wolf that he is portrayed as in the English version.
* TwinTelepathy: During certain portions of the game, he and Pit seem to be able to connect at certain points. Viridi even comments on it.
* WhenHeSmiles: The ending of ''Uprising''. He also smiles whether he wins or [[GracefulLoser loses in ''Light versus Dark''.]]
* WildCard: And damn proud of it. He's unpredictable to the point you don't know who he'll side with until [[HeelFaceTurn he officially sides with Pit later on in the game.]] ''Smash 4'' reveals that he currently works for the Forces of Nature post-''Uprising'', though as he states "Viridi's interests and mine just happen to overlap," this is likely a temporary arrangement.
* WingedHumanoid: He's an angel, so it's to be expected.
* WingsDoNothing: Averted at first. Absorbing Pandora's power allowed Dark Pit to fly on his own. He loses this power in Ch 22 when the Rewind Spring revives her.
* WouldHitAGirl: Especially if she is Pandora.

[[quoteright:325:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1magna_3247.png]]
-->''"My name's Magnus, by the way. Don't hit me, and we'll get along just fine."''
The most powerful human warrior of all. As a member of a roaming mercenary group, he has triumphed in countless brutal missions.
* AntiHero: In that he's OnlyInItForTheMoney. That being said, he's far more heroic than the standard AntiHero.
* BadassBaritone: Courtesy of Creator/FredTatasciore.
* BadassNormal: He's a human warrior who can face off against supernatural foes with nothing but his sword. Naturally, this is constantly lampshaded.
* {{BFS}}: It's so big that Pit's version of the weapon is classified as a Magnus ''Club''.
* BladeAcrossTheShoulder: His default pose.
* BrutalHonesty: Magnus doesn't pull punches nor minces words. If he's got something to say, he'll say it flat out.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: He's only a baseline human, but able to beat down and overpower the Underworld forces by himself.
* CloseRangeCombatant: He attacks solely with melee attacks seeing as how he lacks the ability to shoot projectiles with his weapon.
* CrusadingWidower: It is mentioned by Palutena and his idol description that he had lost a child to the Underworld Forces. He doesn't talk about it much, if at all.
* DeadpanSnarker: Has his moments.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: This memorable line in Ch 2.
-->'''Magnus''': Hey, if you're chatting with your precious goddess, give her a message from me. Tell her she's been sleeping on the job! My world is on the edge of collapse.
* DualBoss: With Gaol in chapter 24.
* DubNameChange: From "Magna" in the Japanese version. Justified, Magna is the ''feminine'' form of the word in Latin.
* {{Expy}}: His whole chapter and involvement with Gaol is a WholePlotReference to ''{{Manga/Berserk}}'', which would cast him as Guts.
* {{Foil}}: Serves as one to Pit. Both are skilled warriors, but unlike Pit, who [[HotBlooded charges into battle with guns ablazing]], Magnus handles situations with a more tactical approach.
* FriendlyRivalry: With Gaol, according to the Magnus & Gaol idol.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: It's implied that he goes off living the mercenary life whenever you're not with him.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sure, he claims to be OnlyInItForTheMoney and doesn't act very polite, but he genuinely cares about other people and is open to the idea of working together with Pit.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A surprisingly heroic one for a blatant AntiHero.
* LightningBruiser: Though he's slightly slower than Pit, he can still move pretty fast. He's also strong enough to take on Underworld monsters by himself.
* MeaningfulName: Magnus is Latin for "great" or "powerful", which characterizes his role as the strongest human warrior quite nicely.
* {{Naytheist}}: While working with Pit in Chapter 2, he tells Pit to let Palutena know that she's slacking off and his world is on the brink of collapse because of it.
* {{Nerf}}: His sword lacks the charged shot that Pit can get (as a club). This means you're forced to fight enemies in close-combat while you're controlling him. The Centurions can be the death of you in the highest difficulties.
* PeoplePuppet: Becomes one briefly in chapter 18 when Pit takes control of him.
* PunchClockHero: He outright states that he does what he does for money. That said, he's still a pretty cool guy.
* RatedMForManly: Deep voice, gruff exterior, muscles, and he's a mercenary to boot.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The straight man to Pit's wise guy.
* TattooedCrook: Has red tattoos on his right arm.
* TooManyBelts: He has three around his chest, and three on each leg.
* WhamLine: Yesterday?! Try ''THREE YEARS'', buddy!
* WorldsStrongestMan: Strongest human warrior in the world.

[[quoteright:165:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nursefromkidicarus_6826.jpg]]
The Nurse from the Hospital who removes the Eggplant Curse.

[[quoteright:261:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_2poseidonart_4527.png]]
The God of the Sea. Normally neutral, Poseidon prefers to keep to himself and rule the seas while silently observing events on the surface. Annoyed by the antics of the Underworld Army, he aids Pit and Palutena by opening the sea to the Seafloor Palace.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Has bluish skin.
* BadassBaritone: Again, courtesy of Creator/FredTatasciore.
* BadassBeard: And it's quite long.
* BadassMustache: Big and busy.
* {{BFG}}: Does not use one, but a weapon called the Poseidon Cannon is modeled after him.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: His reasoning for sinking a city to stop the humans from becoming a problem.
-->'''Poseidon:''' Humans consist of equal parts hubris, envy, and deceit. Sometimes one has to put them in their place.
* MakingASplash: He's the God of the Sea, people.
* OneShotCharacter: Completely disappears from the plot after Chapter 7.
* OnlySaneMan: Unlike most of the other gods, he has more justifiable reasons for what he does (i.e. sinking a city when those in it were becoming a problem, without going off the handle like Viridi). Granted, however, it's difficult to judge how well he fits this trope due to his rather brief appearance in-story.
* ProngsOfPoseidon: [[CaptainObvious Fittingly enough.]]
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He only wears a white robe.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Sank a city when its inhabitants were becoming a problem. At least he's more calmer about it than Viridi.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_pyrrhon_final_6492.png]]
-->''"Pyrrhon senses danger... and now, Pyrrhon sees it!"''
The self-proclaimed Sun God. He is mostly seen as an oddball among gods. Seems to think he's a superhero.
* AffablyEvil: He's quite friendly, even after his true nature is revealed.
* AGodAmI: Technically, he's already one, but he plans to take control of the Aurum and become, in his own words, a "Level Infinity Epic Supergod-Plus!"
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Has red skin.
* AmbitionIsEvil: His desire to take control of the Aurum and be the strongest God resulted in him getting controlled instead, once the Aurum Brain resumed control.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: He's technically nude, but any naughty bits are nonexistent.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He presents himself as an eccentric, brash, but well-meaning character at first glance, then reveals himself to be far more dangerous than he looks.
* TheChessmaster: He was using everyone's help to get to the Aurum Brain and gain control of the Aurum himself. His plan ends up backfiring about four minutes after his hijack, however.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: [[ObfuscatingStupidity Or at least he acts like one]].
* CreepyMonotone: As Aurum Pyrrhon. He even says "Ow" and "Shazamitylam" in monotone while fighting him.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: He's for all intents and purposes ''Kid Icarus's'' Human Torch, yet he's able to carry Pit without fear of burning him.
* DubNameChange: From "[[Myth/EgyptianMythology Raz]]" in the Japanese version.
* EvilAllAlong: His plan was to merge with the Aurum Brain to become the head of the Aurum HiveMind and become more powerful than the other gods. This backfires once the Aurum Brain takes him over. Though it seems that Pit defeating him brought him back to his senses, as Palutena mentions that he's pushing the Aurum away, though that may just be the massive fiery exhaust from him exploding pushing them away.
* EvilIsHammy: Played with. While he is ''undeniably'' hammy, once he reveals his true colors, he becomes progressively less so. This is due to the Aurum's personality override.
--> '''Aurum Pyrrhon: SHAZAMITYLAM.'''
* EvilIsNotAToy: Taking over the Aurum Brain backfires, as it outwills him eventually.
* FakeUltimateHero: It's eventually revealed he was merely using everyone to take control of the Aurum.
* {{Expy}}: Not of Helios the sun god but of Helios' son Phaethon. Phaethon wasn't acknowledged by the other Gods despite being one of them and took drastic action and demanded to drive his father's chariot to prove them wrong. Not only did it backfire on him, but it cost Phaethon his life.
* FlamingHair: His hair, like most of his body, is completely WreathedInFlames.
* FlyingFirepower: Can fly in the air and toss fire blasts at enemies.
* ForGreatJustice: He has a delivery, and its return address is '''JUSTICE'''!!! Subverted in the end, when it's revealed he plans to take control of the Aurum.
* FullFrontalAssault: He's completely nude.
* GemTissue: Pyrrhon has a green jewel on his forehead.
* GreenEyes: Has green eyes to match the green jewel on his forehead.
* HandBlast: Pyhrron uses this to attack the Aurum. '''Kablooey! Kablammy!''' The Burning Palm weapon, in addition, seems to be patterned after him.
* HeroicBuild: Bordering on WalkingShirtlessScene.
* IdiotHero: He's very heroic, but also very stupid.
* {{Kamehamehadoken}}: His Pyro Cannon attack, which he uses in Ch. 17.
* LargeHam: One of the biggest ones in the game. Given that ''Uprising'' takes place in a WorldOfHam, this is really saying something.
* {{Leitmotif}}: He has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2BRLPgd9rY&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LL5A68Xz9vd9pNuUOTW6GeBw a theme]] that plays when he's the focus of the scenes in chapters 15 and 17. The theme that plays during chapter 17 can count as a DarkReprise since it plays when he hijacks the Aurum.
* LightIsNotGood: He's the Sun God and is seemingly on everyone's side, but it's soon revealed he was using them to take control of the Aurum.
* LordErrorProne: He means well, but he can be reckless at times. Such as unintentionally making the Aurum Generator stronger with his firepower.
* MilesGloriosus: Minus the cowardice, at least. He's brash and brave to a fault.
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Palutena does this to him. His idol refers to him as the ''self-proclaimed'' sun god, so this may be because he's not actually a god.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: He ends up making the Aurum Generator stronger [[FeedItWithFire when he attacks it with fire.]]
* NoIndoorVoice: Shouts practically every line.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Seems like an oddball right? Not exactly...
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He's not nearly as dumb as people think he is. The rest of the cast figures this out all-too late.
* PlayingWithFire: He's the Sun God after all.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: Again, he's the Sun God.
* ShapingYourAttacks: Pyrrhon can mold his fire attacks into other shapes, his SignatureMove being the "Pyro Snake".
* SuperEmpowering: After merging with the Aurum Brain, he's capable of enhancing the Aurum troops with his fire powers.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Pyrrhon always refers to Pyrrhon by Pyrrhon's own name!
* TronLines: Has yellow markings all over his body.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Is never seen or mentioned again after the Aurum arc.
* WhatTheHellHero: He makes the fight against the Aurum Generator harder than it should be by attacking it with fire, and he just sheepishly mutters something close to "oops" and leaves Pit to fend for himself.
-->'''Pit''': Ugh, what an idiot!
* WikiWalk: This is heavily implied just by the mere mention of "Divinipedia". Of course, there's nothing really fishy with his knowledge about the Aurum, given he's the only one of all the gods who seems to know all there is know about them.
* WorthyOpponent: Viridi mentions that the only person he considers an equal is Pit.
* WreathedInFlames: He is constantly surrounded in a flaming aura.
* ZeroesAndOnes: Once controlled by the Aurum, proceeds to rattle off "KILL" in binary before fighting Pit.

A mysterious figure who is the owner of the Lightning Chariot.
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Character_chariotm_6868.png]]
* AlasPoorVillain: While villain is a stretch, his death is treated as this. Both Pit and Viridi felt it was completely pointless and both regret it had to come to that.
* AntiVillain: He really does nothing villainous, but Pit still has to defeat him to get the Lightning Chariot.
* DeathSeeker: Hinted at during his level and BossFight, and confirmed shortly afterwards.
* TheDisembodied: Stated by both him and his Idol description. His body has long been destroyed, and the only thing keeping him going is the fact that he follows the soldier's path in death.
* DubNameChange: From "The Main Tank" in the Japanese version.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: If he has a name beyond the Chariot Master, it's never been revealed.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: He dies peacefully and without regret after Pit defeats him.
* GracefulLoser: Takes his defeat and imminent demise quite well, possibly because [[DeathSeeker he wanted it this way.]]
* HighSpeedBattle: His BossFight consists of Pit and the Chariot Master chasing each other on separate chariots.
* HurtingHero: Heavily implied to be this.
* IHaveManyNames; Said almost verbatim during his introduction.
-->'''Chariot Master:''' I've had many names in my life, but now I am called the Chariot Master.
* NotSoAboveItAll: One test in his tower proves he's not above adding to [[ShoutOut/KidIcarusUprising the Shout-Outs page]].
-->'''Pit:''' Okay, so we've got rolling obstacles.
-->'''Viridi:''' And don't forget the jump pads!
-->'''Pit:''' This seems awfully familiar...
-->'''Hades:''' I guess the Chariot Master has played ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong''.
* OnlySaneMan: He's basically the only calm and reasonable character onscreen, considering when Pit encounters him.
* PlayingWithFire: Primarily tosses fireballs at Pit.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: His refusal to hand over the Lightning Chariot and forcing Pit to climb the tower to confront him was to test Pit and see if he was worthy to wield it.
* ShockAndAwe: Will occasionally call down lightning strikes.
* TheStoic: The most calm and levelheaded character in the game.

[[folder:Dyntos]]
!!!Voiced by: Koji Yada (JP), Alan Oppenheimer (EN)
[[quoteright:337:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_2dyntos_artwork_6850.png]]
The God of Smithing. He created the Three Sacred Treasures.
* AllPowerfulBystander: Is one of, if not the most powerful character in the series, outright stated to be more powerful than even Hades and Palutena. And yet he is content to merely forge weapons and replicas of assorted locations and enemies.
* BadassGrandpa: The oldest and most powerful character in the game.
* BaldOfAwesome: Justified in that he's old.
* CoolOldGuy: An old man who happens to be the most powerful character in the game and is a pretty fun guy to be with.
* DeadpanSnarker: Has his moments.
* DropTheHammer: His forge, which he uses to create his weapons.
* EccentricMentor: His manner of teaching Pit is odd, but he does want to help.
* {{Expy}}: Of the greek god of smithing Hephaestus who was known for making all the weapons for the Gods and keeping out of their affairs.
* TheJuggernaut: Potentially the biggest user of this trope in the entire game going by Palutena's description of Dyntos. To put it bluntly, he can recreate virtually anything and everything without any flaws for the most part[[note]]Pseudo-Palutena might be an exception[[/note]] and being able to make the copies of what he makes should they be enemies be far superior to their originals makes his actual power that's not seen even more frightening. The Great Sacred Treasure being his personal creation without it being based off of anything else as well as Pseudo-Palutena and the copy of the Immortal Phoenix, are three of his strongest creations and are no pushovers. He even managed to recreate [[OneHitKill Ornes]], Underworld monsters that Pit can only defeat with the Arrows of Light and most definitely with the Great Sacred Treasure which according to Dyntos, far surpasses the Three Sacred Treasures in terms of sheer power. Yeah, Dyntos is by far the most realistically powerful being in Uprising. This isn't even getting to where Dyntos isn't really showing his true potential...seeing how Pit's battle against the recreated Space Kraken takes place in '''OUTER SPACE'''.
* RealityWarper: Dyntos can do virtually '''''anything'''''. For starters, he can, among other things, create replicas of ''everyone'' in the game, from enemies to bosses and characters alike. He can even mess with their AI to make them tougher (Such as making an enemy move faster than it normally does). He can even replicate the locations Pit fights them in. He's also capable of replacing Palutena with a clone while ''putting the real Palutena to sleep'' despite her being miles away in Skyworld. What makes this frightening is that there seems to be virtually no limit to his powers and Palutena herself implies that he has none, period. As Palutena herself notes, he could potentially take over everything if he wanted to.
* StoryBreakerPower: Potentially. The speed at which he can make copies of ANYTHING, not to mention make them all superior, could easily see him as the ultimate conqueror if that's what he wanted to accomplish.
* TopGod: If not necessarily the absolute strongest, he's implied to be more powerful than any other god in the series. In addition, Palutena refers to him as Lord Dyntos, implying a position of high authority. Then again, if he's based on Hephaestus, it would make sense that he's stronger than the majority of the Gods given he makes the majority of weapons for said Gods and Goddesses and would know their strengths and weaknesses as a result.
* UltimateBlacksmith: Created the weapons in the game, including the Three Sacred Treasures and the Great Sacred Treasure; he's also made perfect copies of every enemy in the game, as well as a few of the bosses Pit has faced thus far. He's also said to be the one reverse engineering several enemy types (most prominently, the Aurum) into weapons for Pit.
