History Characters / LisaThePointless

* BoxingBattler: Unlike most enemies in the game, Arnold knows an actual martial art. While most of the franchisees are clumsy thugs who rely on brute strength, Arnold is a skilled and disciplined boxer on top of being quite strong. It's not surprising that he's the one who's risen to the top of the hierarchy.

* BoxingBattler: Unlike the vast majority of Alex's opponents, Arnold knows an actual martial art. While most of the franchisees are clumsy thugs who rely on brute strength, Arnold is a skilled and disciplined boxer on top of being quite strong. It's not surprising that he's the one who's risen to the top of the hierarchy.

* ImAHumanitarian: He's got to be doing something with the corpses Alex and Joel are giving him, right? [[spoiler: Ultimately subverted when Lester reveals he's just serving imitation pork.]]

* TheGunslinger: Parodied. With the [[CoolGun Bolt Action Pistol]], the suit, and the hat, he's got the look down cold. However, unlike [[VideoGame/LisaTheHopeful Beltboy]], he only has one bullet, and doesn't plan on using it. Rather, he uses the gun as a WeaponForIntimidation to great effect.

* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Subverted. The positive comments and idolization of him displayed by various franchisers in Downtown Olathe suggests that he'd be a leader among them, or at least some form of highly esteemed authority; but by Arnold's own words, he is "No One in Particular". We also don't even know if the instance of the Franchise encountered in Downtown Olathe was the last time we will see them, as there could possibly be yet another instance of the Franchise that has individuals that are strong as, or even stronger than arnold in their numbers in the 2 future chapters.

* ChefOfIron: Implied. He's a chef that easily kills two men with one swing of a katana he's wielding, and he looks incredibly brawny.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Parodied. [[spoiler:The flash back sequence has Alex being thrown by his opponent the first two times. Then he recalls the minor iris move, his best move in the first chapter... and still lost. The next best move he learns? [[GroinAttack Trick Kick.]] And it DQ's him.]]

* CoolOldGuy: Alex is in his sixties, but he can still kick a fair amount of ass, and is one of the nicest LISA protagonists.

* MakeMeWannaShout: His Choirboy's Screech attack, which cuts Alex and Joel's SP and gives the Crying and Spooked statuses.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:He'll cut up Raymund Ripe and leave him outside of his shack like garbage if you don't kill the former. Raymund absolutely deserves it due to being a molester and a rapist.]]

* AmbiguousDisorder: His wiki page on one of the wikis describes [[https://pointless-rpg.fandom.com/wiki/Arnold_Shpitz#History him]] as having been plagued by violent urges he struggled to keep control of throughout his life.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Subverted. The positive comments and idolization of him displayed by various franchisers in Downtown Olathe suggests that he'd be a leader among them, or at least some form of highly esteemed authority; but by Arnold's own words, he is "No One in Particular". We also don't even know if the instance of the Franchise encountered in Downtown Olathe was the last time we will see them, as there could possibly be yet another instance of the Franchise that has individuals that are strong as, or even stronger than arnold in their numbers in the 2 future chapters.

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of AsskickingEqualsAuthority and arguably the concept of a BigBad itself. While Arnold is indeed incredibly powerful, as he's introduced demolishing a Joy Mutant with his bare hands while implying to have punched a man so hard that his heart stopped without any sign of external injury, as well as literally causing the head of a fanboy who approached Arnold to talk to him to explode, while Franchisers everywhere praise him and look up to him, Arnold himself admits that he's not anybody important, and he indeed does wind up as being unimportant, as the Infinity Franchise disappears for the rest of the game afterwards aside from being mentioned by various characters, as well as Arnold truthfully having no authority in the Franchise whatsoever, and admits that he only fights because he wants to do so, using it as an excuse.

* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: Everything that the Infinity Franchisers say about him is positive, and even when Anaconda Virtue somewhat insultingly says "At this rate, I'll outdo Arnold himself.", he is still admitting that he views him as being number one.

* GoKartingWithBowser: Despite supposedly being at each other's throats, they have a casual feast together to discuss things with each other. At least until [[KillEmAll a few of them reveal to have defected to the Franchise]].

* DepravedHomosexual: In the scene mentioned above, Anaconda makes a pass at Alex.
--->"You remind me of that rat."

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Arnold has no apparent powers, just his boxing techniques and his raw strength. With just those he's able to thrash a joy mutant to pieces. [[spoiler:Then again, his apparent mutation could imply something more.]]
* CombatBreakdown: Played with. Similar to Roland, by the third phase, Arnold is slumped over and covered with blood. Unlike Roland, however, Arnold can still be a threat even when he's at death's door.

* KnifeNut: [[spoiler: Viciously cuts Alex up along with the other travelers who were resting at the campsite.]]

* {{Irony}}: Alex, a garbage man, becomes garbage in the opening of the game.

* NiceHat: It's an old hat, yes, but it stands out in the wastelands. It's even called the Coolass Hat in-game.

!!Jason Pike
A lab-coat, purple glove-wearing man who is recruiting people to go to the city with him. He warmly welcomes Alex and Joel, and others to join him in his trip back.

* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Or at least sanity and clarity, he's one of the most normal looking inhabitants of Garbage Island.

* DramaticIrony: Even though he was universally hated by the inhabitants of Garbage Island aside from Augustus and Richie, he ironically might've been the one keeping the way of life of the inhabitants and the Communion of Cellophane intact, due to him trying to force everybody to stay if they want to leave, as when he is killed by Alex, Joel, and Georgy, several islanders will start to show doubst in their lifestyle and in the communion as well as starting to want to leave like Alex and Joel.

* StoutStrength: Roland has quite the gut but he hits hard in battle. Even though everyone hates him, he can more than hold his own.

* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Inverted. He is one of the ugliest characters in the game but is also one of the only friendly people in Downtown Olathe who stays that way.

* WickedCultured: His last words are a section of the poem ''In the Desert'' by Stephen Crane, and he also possesses multiple [=PhDs=]. There's also his fighting style being Sumo Wreslting, which is also a highly respected tradition in Japan.

** Despite Roland being constantly talked about by the inhabitants of Garbage Island, you never actually see him until you make it to Georgy's boat, where he fights you to prevent you from leaving, while it's more likely that you'll see Arnold before you'll hear anybody say their praises of him to you, as he can be found beating up a Joy Mutant inside one of the earliest accessible areas in the School Basement, which can be reached from the very first proper screen of the infinitized Downtown Olathe, and also be found uppercutting a fan's hand into a mist when he approaches him as he wanders around the outside of the dining hall. He also has no reason for fighting you whatsoever, and simply fights you because he can.

* CloudCuckoolander: A very dark example. Pretty much everything he says is completely nonsensical, and he talks about mysterious concepts, such as "sin" and sanctification. [[spoiler:while his definition of sin is unknown, sanctification seems to be a process that involves maiming or even killing the individual selected to be sanctified, given that Rick is seen about to be mauled after the host announces he is to be sanctifi.]]

* AffablyEvil: He's definitely creepy, but he doesn't damage Alex in battle and eventually runs off after feeling him up for a few turns.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Kills Raymund Ripe if Alex doesn't.

* DramaticIrony: Even though he was universally hated by the inhabitants of Garbage Island aside from Augustus and Richie, he ironically might've been the one keeping the way of life of the inhabitants and the Communion of Cellophane due to him trying to force everybody to stay if they want to leave, as when he is killed by Alex, Joel, and Georgy, several islanders will start to show doubst in their lifestyle and in the communion as well as wanting to leave like Alex and Joel.
