History Characters / MegaManStarForce

** Luna's design has a rabbit motif. Her MegaTwintails are allegedly meant to evoke rabbit ears, her wizard Vogue is a JadeRabbit piloting [[PullARabbitOutOfMyHat a magician's top hat]], and her IdolSinger costume from the AprilFoolsDay 2012 event has a cottontail.

** Luna has a ''huge'' crush on Mega Man (the hero who saved her life), but has no respect to speak of for Geo (the whiny [[{{Hikikomori}} recluse]] she has to strongarm into going to school). Her difficulty reconciling the two is both PlayedForDrama and PlayedForLaughs depending on the circumstances. The anime leans into it so that HilarityEnsues, such as Subaru being forced to eat each of Luna's LethalChef creations while she studies to make food for Rock Man.
** The Japanese promotional comic for ''Star Force 3'' plays with it by having Luna winkingly suggest to Subaru that Rockman would have the opportunity to rescue her if the gang volunteer to help with the local crisis.
** Luna's view of Harp Note is a downplayed inversion--she's jealous that Harp Note gets to fight alongside Mega Man, but she's a fan of Sonia.
* LovingAShadow: Luna's idealized Mega Man, so much so that she outright refuses to consider Geo his alter-ego even after she's learned the truth.

* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Played with. She's assertive, expressive, and insists on dragging Geo out of his shell, though unusually for the trope it's actually played for annoyance. In reality, she only goes after him as a political gambit for her approval rating; frankly, she doesn't think much of him at all in the beginning. If anything, it's ''Geo'' who gets ''Luna'' to open up, after Geo has already been nudged from his shell by Omega-Xis.
* MegaTwintails:
** Her trademark hairstyle is a pair of supercurls dangling behind her, which are at the very least the [[UpToEleven largest non-parody]] of Drill Hair in any medium, if not strictly OjouRinglets. In the anime, she is shown with her hair down while sleeping.
** The Mega Man Wiki claims her supercurls are meant to evoke rabbit ears. Combining that [[MeaningfulName with her name]] and with her Wizard, Mode, begins to suggest the [[MoonRabbit Jade Rabbit]] myth. This actually gets highlighted by the Idol Singer costume she had in the April Fool's joke mentioned above, in which she gets the costume with a cotton-tail.

* CharacterDevelopment: She has some growth in both mediums. In the Tribe anime, she has more obvious ''dere'' moments.

* {{Protectorate}}: Despite their relationship, Geo cares enough about Luna that his DeclarationOfProtection is what allows him to tap into the Star Force in the first game. She reciprocates in the sequel by giving him a CooldownHug during his PowerIncontinence, and [[LevelUpAtIntimacy5 the resulting jump in their Link Power]] allows him to conquer the [=OOPart=].

An alien that fell from the sky and landed on Geo. This rowdy, loud-mouthed FM-ian knows what happened to Geo's father but insists on keeping mum, not in small part to keep Geo doing as he says. It is with Omega-Xis' power that Geo becomes the new Mega Man; unlike the other FM-ians, Omega-Xis cannot control Geo's mind while they are fused, and so he has to depend on the kid's ability to fight, which is...lacking.

---

The second of Luna's two main subordinates, and, eventually, one of Geo's friends. Zack is Luna's extra brain, helping to organize her schedule and to develop her plans; in fact, it was on Zack's suggestion that Luna began hunting Geo down. Small and eager, Zack is usually the first of the group to seize onto a new idea and goes to great lengths to convince Luna the idea is worthwhile, though this is often Hit-Or-Miss for him. In keeping with his status, Zack also owns a miniature database called the Zackpedia, which is adminstered by his Wizard Pedia.

This young lady is something of a celebrity, an IdolSinger, in fact. Introduced in the first game, Sonia became a singer in order to make her mother happy, but after her mother died, her manager began using her success for his own financial gain. Her depression is what called Lyra to her, and after being defeated they both become allies. Like Geo, Sonia can't have her mind controlled by Lyra and so relies in her own fighting strength during battles. Together they become Harp Note. She is the first person Geo forms a brotherband with.

5-A's one-and-only ClassRepresentative, Luna practically radiates ambition, and, more importantly, knows how to achieve hers. In the long term, she seeks to become the next StudentCouncilPresident, but to do that, she's going to need a fair bit of the public eye; and what better way to do that than to associate with the talk of the school, [[FamedInStory the mysterious phantom student]], Geo Stelar? And so, of course, she decides to get Geo back to school, much to his chagrin. Note the {{Irony}} with the [[LoveAtFirstSight instant crush]] she gets on Mega Man when he first saves her life early in the story.

* AnimalMotifs: Playing to the MoonRabbit motif, her hair is supposed to evoke rabbit ears, and her wizard Vogue is a green magician's rabbit. And briefly snakes when she is possessed by Ophiuchus and turned into Queen Ophiuca due to her serpentine, lamia-like appearance].

%%* BullyAndWimpPairing: Bud is the Bully, Zack is the wimp. Though Bud grows out of the Bully role as the series progresses.

%%* FourTemperamentEnsemble: When the group consists of Geo, Luna, Bud, and Zack. Geo is phlegmatic, Luna is choleric, Bud is Sanguine, and Zack is melancholic. Pat might be considered Supine.
* FiveManBand:
** Geo: TheLeader
** Sonia: TheLancer
** Bud: TheBigGuy
** Zack: TheSmartGuy
** Luna: TheChick

%%* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Zack is the straight man to Bud's wise guy.

** Her trademark hairstyle is a pair of supercurls dangling behind her, which are at the very least the [[UpToEleven largest non-parody]] of Drill Hair in any medium, if not strictly OjouRinglets. In the anime, she is shown with [[RapunzelHair her hair down]] while sleeping.

* RapunzelHair: In the anime, we learn that she sleeps with her hair down. This results in a cascade of hair down to her calves.

* {{Expy}}: Luna starts as an Expy of ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'''s Yai[[note]]As the haughty, aggressive, dramatically-coiffed blonde {{Ojou}} who funds the group's more outlandish adventures[[/note]] with some Mayl thrown in for flavor[[note]]Luna practices the piano and has parent-driven angst (which was implied for Mayl in [=BN1=] by an NPC claiming she was really close to her grandmother because her parents weren't often home)[[/note]]. She gains more traits from Mayl in the second and third games, becoming the TeamMom and emotional support for Geo in his darker moments.

* {{Flanderization}}:
** Inverted. Luna was originally designed to be a silly and annoying character with occasional HiddenDepths but was rounded out with more sympathetic traits later on.

* HumbleHero: During the brewing crisis at WBG Studios, Luna in the third game gracefully removes herself from the scene and quietly acknowledges she's the least useful individual in the crisis.

* IdolSinger: Not part of the series proper, but Luna, [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Roll]], and Mayl were all gathered into an Idol Singer group as part of a promotion...launched on ''April 1'', 2012.

** Inverted towards Harp Note. She's jealous that Harp Note gets to fight alongside Mega Man, but she's a fan of Sonia.

* RichBitch: Luna is rich, pushy, hostile, and refuses to leave Geo alone. There's more to it than that, but in the games, she maintains her snippy ''tsun'' aspects more than her anime incarnation. The ''dere'' doesn't come out until the situation is serious.

* SchoolIdol: Downplayed. The class holds her in relatively high esteem (Bud and Zack most of all), and a Hertz in the third game identifies her as an idol along with Sonia.

* {{Meganekko}}: Inverted. The games never indicate anything of the sort, but the anime reveals Luna wears contacts (which she has lost while under the EmotionControl of Gemini Spark). For years, Luna only ever appeared actually wearing glasses in an obscure piece of art by one of the anime's art directors, but nearly a decade after the series ended, [[http://www.rockman-corner.com/2017/11/luna-is-star-of-novembers-rockman-unity.html new art depicting Luna with glasses was released]] from the Rockman Unity blog.

* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Played with. She's assertive, expressive, and insists on dragging Geo out of his shell, though unusually for the trope it's actually played for annoyance. In reality, she only goes after him as a political gambit for her approval rating; frankly, she doesn't think much of him at all in the beginning.

%%* WhoWearsShortShorts: This girl, right here.

* ClarkKenting: Geo and Mega Man have the exact same AnimeHair in subtly different shades, which is a connection that *not one character* makes; in the anime, Geo doesn't even bother to adjust his voice. To his credit, Bob Copper is actually quite suspicious of Geo, but only because the kid keeps showing up in suspicious circumstances.

* MadeOfIron: Geo and Omega meet with a CrashIntoHello. Thing is, as an EnergyBeing, Omega fries the boy on contact.

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Geo really has very little desire to run around and do battle all the time, but he feels he ought to, partially because of Mega's urgings and partially because he tries to follow in his father's footsteps. He eventually accepts his role as Mega Man.
** This jumps up a notch in the optional sidequests: Most of the Accept/Deny choices are grounded in Geo wondering if he really wants to bother. Except in [[ShipTease certain cases]].

* MommasBoy: He does '''not''' take it well when Hyde takes his mother hostage in ''Tribe''. He literally ''drags Yeti Blizzard across town'' (ItMakesSenseInContext) to get to her without even realizing it.
** It's also the first step he takes to come out of his TenMinuteRetirement in the first game when he realizes his mother is in trouble and he can't save her.

* MysteriousProtector: For Luna, though this plot thread is dropped in later games.
** His embrace of this trope in the first game is what activates the Star Force powers in the first game; Luna reciprocates in the second by giving him a CooldownHug that enables him to control the [=OOPart=].

* PantyThief: Poor boy has trouble wrenching himself away from the "[[UnusualEuphemism little girl's secret]]" he finds in Luna's wardrobe in Star Force 3.
** This is [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain much less a problem]] when he happens upon Zack's "little boy's secret".

* SchoolPlay: How Luna gets him to school.
** PlayingATree: The important, absolutely necessary part she needed him for.
** Later, when Pat is unable to perform, Geo inherits the CheapCostume for [[HilarityEnsues major irony points]] as Luna shoves him into the lead role of...[[LovesMyAlterEgo himself]].

* TheSlacker: Subverted. Luna may very well see him this way, considering she knows he's been hiding away from the world for three years and he certainly doesn't want to put any more effort into anything than he has to. In truth he home-studied of his own volition all that time for the sake of his dream of going to space, his antisocial tendencies being the only reason he didn't go back to school. He even makes extra sure to do his homework before going on any big adventures once he gets back into school.
** According to the anime, he's so far ahead of everyone on the homework he resents having to do it all over again to pace with the class.

* CharacterExaggeration: His HotBlooded nature. In the first game, he loved a good brawl but was mostly levelheaded. Come the third game, he's a borderline BloodKnight who Geo has to constantly calm down.
** Even more so in the manga tie-in, where his and Geo's [[RedOniBlueOni contrasting personalities]] are [[DenserAndWackier exaggerated for the sake of comedy]]. With Omega-Xis however, it crosses the line towards AlternativeCharacterInterpretation, not only is he characterized as overly HotBlooded, he's also a gross slob who picks his nose, eats and farts.. [[https://i.imgur.com/6xdJKr1.jpg at the same time]]... Geo's father is also depicted as such in a {{Flashback}}, which at least explains how he and Omega-Xis got along.
* CombatPragmatist: Mega will be quite happy to share on the principles of fighting ''smart'', very few of which have any relationship with the concept of honor.

* WeWantOurJerkBack: During the final Filler arc of the anime, the comet Rajione VI enters Earth's atmosphere and produces major changes in the FM-ians. In Omega-Xis's case, it replaces his rough personality with one that might be accurately described as Dandyism. This drives Geo (and, as we learn later, Omega-Xis himself) mad.
** The first thing he does is compare the comet [[HoYay with Geo's "lovely eyes"]], though whether he actually finds them lovely or simply was led to use it as a complimentary adjective is up for debate.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Inevitable given the nature of the series, but one of the most egregious examples is the fact that Geo can prance around inside a black hole without worry. In reality, ''anything'' gets torn apart inside a black hole since the forces inside approach ''infinity'' in all directions in a process called spaghettification.

* InstantExpert: Tutorials notwithstanding, Mega Man has really very little problem operating anything in his arsenal that might give him trouble. Mega himself says Geo has a natural knack for battling. [[DeadpanSnarker He replies that he doesn't want to have a knack for it]].
** Even more pronounced in the anime, wherein Geo easily adapts to his powers and by episode 26 is suddenly doing martial arts tactics.

* LimitBreak: The ''Big Bang'' attacks are special techniques [[SignatureMove unique to]] each of Mega Man's {{Super Mode}}s; accessed by successfully countering his opponents. These powerful attacks generally [[DiscOneNuke do massive damage to the whole field]], and can be generally expected [[FinishingMove to wipe out most viruses in one stroke]].
** There are three ''Star Force'' Big Bangs in the first game, seven ''Link Force'' Big Bangs[[note]]Three for the main Tribes, another three for the Double Tribes, and one for the Tribe King[[/note]] and another three for the Rogue Tribes[[note]]They're basically just recolors of the main Tribe Big Bangs, though[[/note]], and a final seven ''Noise Force'' Big Bangs[[note]]One for each element (including neutral), each shared by two different Noises (e.g. Dyna Wave is shared by the Cancer and Virgo Noises), and two unique ones for the Finalized Noises. Nothing for Rogue Noise, though[[/note]] for a total of 20. Tropes Included:
*** AllYourColorsCombined: The Czar Delta Breaker (Tribe King).
*** AllYourPowersCombined: The [=LFBs=] that belong to either the Double Tribes or the Tribe King.
*** {{BFS}}: The Thunderbolt Blade (Lightning Zerker, Rogue Zerker, Elec Noises) and the Elemental Blade ([=ZerkerXNinja/NinjaXZerker=]).
*** BreathWeapon: Atomic Blazer (Fire Leo, Fire Noises), Genocide Blazer (Fire Saurian, Rogue Saurian), and Vanishing Blazer ([=ZerkerXSaurian/SaurianXZerker=]).
*** DeathFromAbove: Meteor Light Barage (NonElemental Noises).
*** DoppelgangerAttack: Demon Flurry (Green Ninja, Rogue Ninja) and Enma Gale Garrison ([=SaurianXNinja/NinjaXSaurian=]).
*** EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Elemental Cyclone (Green Dragon, Wood Noises).
*** FlechetteStorm: See DoppelgangerAttack.
*** GravityMaster: Black End Galaxy (Black Ace).
*** HandBlast: Red Gaia Eraser (Red Joker), Meteor Light Barrage.
*** InstantRunes: Magician's Freeze (Ice Pegasus).
*** KamehameHadoken: The Atomic Blazer is styled like this.
*** KillItWithFire: See BreathWeapon.
*** KillItWithIce: See InstantRunes. In the anime, this is HarmlessFreezing.
*** KillItWithWater: Dyna Wave (Aqua Noises).
*** NukeEm: See BreathWeapon, Red Gaia Eraser.
*** SingleStrokeBattle: Black End Galaxy.
*** SpinAttack: Elemental Cyclone (Green Dragon, Wood Noises).
*** SuckingInLines: The Big Bang attacks with ''Blazer'' in the name may use this.
*** WaveMotionGun: Red Gaia Eraser concentrates ''three'' of these on the enemy territory.

* LineOfSightName: In the games, Geo comes up with it after a quick look at his left arm. Averted in the anime, where (in the dub) Omega-Xis suggests it directly, and Luna and Copper pick up on it before Geo has an opportunity to even wrap his head around it.

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: If Mega Man is currently using an uncontrolled [=OOPArt=] he runs the risk of running wild.
** The manual notes that the Shooting Star pendant symbolizes that Geo's in control of his Finalized form, which raises the possibility that there ''might'' be circumstances in which he's ''not'' in control, but this is never addressed in the game.

* {{Flanderization}}: Inverted. Luna was originally designed to be a silly and annoying character with occasional HiddenDepths but was rounded out with more sympathetic traits later on.

* BigEater: This boy loves himself some food. In fact, this is one of his chief distinguishing characteristics when compared to Dex, whose niche he otherwise fulfills. In case you don't do subtlety, his ''family crest'' is a crossed fork and knife.
** This is [[JustifiedTrope reinforced]] in the third game, when he starts fueling his Taurus Fire form with the food he eats.

** EmotionalBruiser: When he gets the ability to Wave Change.

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Especially in the second game. After being sent to Netopia and finding the possible existence of the Loch Mess, Zack refuses to go back with his friends as he wanted to have something he can brag about when compared to his friends (two of them are superheroes, one of them a student class president and another a big, tough guy).

* DefeatMeansFriendship: Downplayed. She already kinda-sorta liked Geo to the point of not doing her best during their first battle, but she REALLY started to be his friend after their fight, wherein she learns of Geo's own problems that surprisingly mirror her own.

** RedOniBlueOni: With Luna, detailed above.

* CharacterExaggeration: His HotBlooded nature. In the first game, he loved a good brawl but was mostly levelheaded. Come the third game, he's a borderline BloodKnight who Geo has to constantly calm him down.

* BettyAndVeronica: Zigzagged between Luna and Sonia, who at first blush are the UptownGirl and GirlNextDoor respectively, and yet Luna is Geo's ever-present classmate while Sonia is a world-famous TeenIdol.

%%* FriendToAllChildren: In the anime. Geo's a special case.

%%* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: In the second game.

* FingerlessGloves: In his normal outfit.

* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: [=MegaMan=] the elementary schooler! [[{{Hikkikomori}} Well, not for the first half of the first game]], but still!

* ScarfOfAsskicking: As Harp Note.

* ShipperOnDeck: For Sonia and Geo.
* StandardStatusEffects: Harp Note specializes in these. Her Shock Note projectiles cause paralysis, while Pulse Song can inflict various different ailments depending on the waves' color.

* TheKirk: Of the third game's Wizard PowerTrio, against Acid's Spock and Taurus' [=McCoy=].

-->'''Geo:''' Yeah... I think we found it.

* YouKilledMyFather: Our boy does NOT take kindly to hearing Mega had a hand in the space station accident. It is a bit of a subversion in that Mega ''didn't'' kill Kelvin and is actually the one who ''saved'' him.

-->'''Geo:''' Yeah...I think we found it.

** In the original anime, the aversion becomes much funnier, as the name gets made up entirely on accident:

* CatchPhrase: In the third game, he relishes every chance to go "buck wild"[[hottip:*:a phrase that was first used as early as the Plesio Surf chapter in the second game]]. He's also been known to use "Stay Frosty."

* {{Odango}}: In one of the Misora promo wallpapers released for ''Star Force 2'', she sported both these and a baby-blue {{Qipao}}. Also, her Gothic Lolita costume in the anime has these as well.

* {{Expy}}: Luna starts as an Expy of ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'''s Yai[[note]]As the haughty, aggressive, dramatically-coiffed blonde {{Ojou}} who funds the group's more outlandish adventures[[/note]] with some Mayl thrown in for flavor[[note]]Luna practices the piano and has parent-driven angst (which was implied for Mayl in BN1 by an NPC claiming she was really close to her grandmother because her parents weren't often home)[[/note]]. She gains more traits from Mayl in the second and third games, becoming the TeamMom and emotional support for Geo in his darker moments.
* {{Fangirl}}: Mega Man's first; she's also one for the idol Misora in the anime. (Don't ask her [[LovesMyAlterEgo about Geo]]. [[{{Tsundere}} Just don't]]).

* LovingAShadow: Luna's idealized Mega Man, so much so that she willfully refuses to so much as consider Geo as his alter-ego.
* LuminescentBlush: When Mega Man is involved.

* GirlInTheTower: When Phantom Black takes her to be his DamselInDistress, he holds her atop one of the scenic towers inside of the movie theater.
