History Characters / LisaTheHopeful

* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership and AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: The uncontested leader of The Lovelies. Unlike Rando's Army, Lovelies obediently follow his orders (possibly because he lets them indulge in random violence whereas Rando did not). He's also the most powerful enemy in the game [[spoiler:other than possibly the bonus boss.]] Either way, even if [[spoiler:Beltboy, Lanks or Cyclops manages to beat him, they're fatally wounded in the process and die shortly after (with the exception of a Joyless Beltboy route). On the "true" path, he and his men manage to do it to Beltboy and all of his friends.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Beltboy just about never bothers actually ''aiming'' his guns, hence his class being "Bullet Waster". [[soiler: On his own route, he precisely guns down Hart's remaining men so he only needs to deal with Hart himself.]]

* BonusBoss: Especially if you happen to fight him on Rodriguez' route, where he gains an additional form that cranks up his difficulty to something comparable, if not ''worse'', to Jano.

* DistressedDamsel: Of a sort. It's unknown what her situation is for most of the game, but when she's finally found, Hart's gang is trying to force their way into her hideout and she backs away in fear if the survivor is a joy mutant. She's however capable of beating Cyclops in a fight, and shrugs off any bottles and bombs thrown at her.

* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: The third time the player finds him, he had already become one [[spoiler: unless the player goes through the process of recruiting him earlier.]]
* AscendedExtra: In the original version, little more than an NPC with two lines of dialogue who later turns into a mutant. Later updates made him a secret party member, and the Definitive Edition [[spoiler:turns him into a major character who shows up in to face Hart in the ending!]]

** Though in the Rodriguez route. [[spoiler: his cart is thrown to the side and a rock is covered in blood, leaving his fate unconfirmed but still grim.]]

* IJustWantToHaveFriends: In a sense, this is his ultimate goal, and he does confine to Lanks and Cyclops as his family. [[spoiler:If they get killed off, Beltboy is miserable, and stuck talking to the hallucination of his childhood friend. By the time he finds the girl, he makes it clear that he just wants a friend.]]

* BonusBoss: If the player manages to find [[GuideDangIt how to access him in the first place]], they'll find he has HP far in excess of anything at this point in the game, attacks twice per turn in his second phase, and applies unique status effects that ''really'' make things very bad for your party.

* OneWingedAngel: In his second phase, he gains angelic wings, a halo of light and a third eye.

As it turns out, the girl that the characters are chasing after is not Buddy but an entirely different young woman, nicknamed "Five." The whole game is about finding her after rumors of her being sighted came to light. She was supposedly captured by the sports king, but later escaped and found her way into a small building where she barricades herself from the lovelies. Depending on who is the lone survivor (or not) determines how she reacts.

* NoNameGiven: They are simply referred to as "The Girl." The definitive update in the Joyful ending for any character confirms that her name is Five, [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname which is very likely her nick name]].

* AnythingThatMoves: While they're searching for the girl, they'll take anyone they perceive as sexually enticing, no matter how their target feels.

* PunnyName: Their names are plays on regular names and sexual innuendos (e.g. Wayne King, Biggie Cummings).

* ThemeNaming: As mentioned above, all of their names are sexual innuendos.

* ManOnFire: [[spoiler: His fate in Beltboy's route. Whether or not he initially survives depends on if he's taken Joy or not.]]

* AmbigiouslyRelated: [[spoiler: There are some hints throughout the game that he's related to Beltboy's Childhood Friend on some level. Both have red hair, both her father and he use the same threat against Beltboy ("You are going to wish you just touched yourself instead of going after her"), and her father uses the same type of slow speech patterns as Hart. It's unclear, however, if Hart is actually the father of Beltboy's Childhood Friend or a brother.]]

* MoodSwinger: At the beginning of the game, when Hart is talking about killing Rodriguez for his car, Lanks interrupts him. Hart, who until now was speaking in a [[FauxAffalablyEvil polite yet menacing tone]], completely loses his shit and begins ranting about how bad his week has been.

* PunnyName: Their names are plays on regular names and sexual innuendos (e.g. [[ADateWithRosiePalms Wayne King]], Biggie Cummings).

* BareYourMidriff: Depending on the ending, she can appear without her poncho, wearing wraps on her chest and wrists.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority and AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The uncontested leader of The Lovelies. Unlike Rando's Army, Lovelies obediantly follow his orders (possibly because he lets them indulge in random violence whereas Rando did not). He's also the most powerful enemy in the game [[spoiler:other than possibly the bonus boss.]] Either way, even if [[spoiler:Beltboy, Lanks or Cyclops manages to beat him, they're fatally wounded in the process and die shortly after (with the exception of a Joyless Beltboy route).

* ShopKeeper: His role. He's so respected, one of the inhabitants within the Sportsdome will find it unusual that he is not manning the shop stand.

* {{Nerd}}: Was one before the flash, and is one now.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: Rodriguez ''Creed''.

* BlindingBangs: As a child.

!!The Seamen

A cult of fish-like men found in the caves beneath the Gibson Orphanage. Led by Gar Strings, they worship the Gods that are allegedly beneath the waves.

* ThemeName: They're all named after fish or have names related to fish, like Bash Finnigan.
