History Characters / ShiningForceII

* MakeMeWannaShout: His attack animation as a Phoenik has him unleashing a loud sonic cry that damages enemies.

* ArcherArchetype: He's young and far from unemotional but his character art fits this trope like a glove, as does his role in the game.

* JokeCharacter: {{Downplayed|Trope}}; unlike [[VideoGame/ShiningForce Jogurt]] or [[VideoGame/ShiningForceIII the penguins]], Kiwi is a useable (if unorthodox) character that can serve his role as a StoneWall from the moment he's playable. He also gets one of the greatest promotion bonuses in the game, which inclues the [[FlyingBrick ability to hover]] (that is, fly while still receiving [[GeoEffects terrain bonuses]]) and [[BreathWeapon breathe fire]]. Unfortunately, [[ScratchDamage his attack is still terrible]], as is [[WeakToMagic his magical resistance]], which makes him liable of being a CrutchCharacter even after promotion.

* LogicalWeakness: Subverted. Even though he's a clay creature who ought to be vulnerable to fire, he's actually ''resistant'' to fire magic.

* {{Expy}}: If Shining Force's Jogurt had a baby with Gamera.
* FlyingBrick: This is his primary utility to the Force after his promotion.

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Before he TookALevelInBadass.

* BladeOnAStick: His main weapons are these, such as the Lance, Halberd, and Javelin.

* BladeOnAStick: His main weapons are these, such as the Halberd and Javelin.

* BladeOnAStick: His main weapons are these, such as the Halberd and Javelin.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Why would he be interested in "looking for the legendary sword" if he can only equip [[BladeOnAStick lances]]?

* BladeOnAStick: His main weapons are these, such as the Halberd and Javelin.

* HeroesPreferSwords: Inverted, as he uses a sword but is ''not'' the hero of the game.

* NamesTheSame: Mae from Shining Force is also a blonde centaur, but their names are spelled differently.

* NamesTheSame: Shares the same name as Luke from ''Shining Force I''.[[note]]Luke from SFI was originally named "Lug", but was changed due to translation issues.[[/note]]

* NamesTheSame: Shares the same name as a Beastman Berserker from ''Shining Force CD''.[[note]]This Gyan was originally named "Gaian", but was changed due to translation issues.[[/note]]

* DemonicPossession: Attempts it on Higgins. Thanks to the Shining Force's intervention, it doesn't take.

* StoneWall: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], as his attack is average. However, it's his defense and mobility that make him usable as a wall that can hold down a chokepoint at a moment's notice.

* PlayingWithFire: Her magic specialty is a powerful Blaze 3 spell, but she does this by using her EpicFlail as an item, since she isn't a magic-user herself..

* AnAxeToGrind: Most of his weapons are axes. Averted with the Baron class, which uses swords.

* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Of all the sword-weilders, he has the least to lose and the most to gain from equipping the [[CursedItem Dark Sword]]. Being forced to keep the weapon equipped won't burden him as much as other sword-weilders, as his strongest alternatives are far weaker than what's available to Bowie (the [[InfinityMinusOneSword Levanter]] and [[InfinityPlusOneSword Force Sword]]), Slade (the [[OneHitKO Gisarme]]), and the Barons (the [[AnAxeToGrind Ground Axe (for additional movement) and Rune Axe]]). If the inherent power of the sword isn't enough to take out enemies, he has [[OneHitKO Desoul]] for the ones above his weight class. This is reinforced with his inherent flying ability, which allows him to strike from angles unavailable to any of the aforementioned characters. Unfortunately, this requires the player to use him diligently up until the very last chapters when the Dark Sword becomes available, as he will be a MasterOfNone to numerous other characters before then.

* AnAxeToGrind: Like the other characters of his class types, he uses primarily axes, though if promoted to Baron he will also be able to use swords.

* SavePoint: Acts as one before the battle with Odd Eye.

* AnAxeToGrind: Uses axes as his WeaponOfChoice.

* CoolSword: His WeaponOfChoice is the Counter Sword, a {{Mithril}} weapon. It can actually be made from one of the Mithril rocks the party obtains, or if you're very lucky he may drop his.

* LethalJokeCharacter: Of all the sword-weilders, he has the least to lose and the most to gain from equipping the [[CursedItem Dark Sword]]. Being forced to keep the weapon equipped won't burden him as much as other sword-weilders, as his strongest alternatives are far weaker than what's available to Bowie (the [[InfinityMinusOneSword Levanter]] and [[InfinityPlusOneSword Force Sword]]), Slade (the [[OneHitKO Gisarme]]), and the Barons (the [[AnAxeToGrind Ground Axe (for additional movement) and Rune Axe]]). If the inherent power of the sword isn't enough to take out enemies, he has [[OneHitKO Desoul]] for the ones above his weight class. This is reinforced with his inherent flying ability, which allows him to strike from angles unavailable to any of the aforementioned characters. Unfortunately, this requires the player to use him diligently up until the very last chapters when the Dark Sword becomes available, as he will be a MasterOfNone to numerous other characters before then.

* SimpleStaff: Starts off fighting with the Wooden Staff, but can acquire different and more powerful staffs and rods as she levels up (if she is promoted to Vicar).

* SimpleStaff: Starts off with the Wooden Rod, but can acquire different and more powerful staffs and rods as he levels up.

* SimpleStaff: Well, actually, it's a scepter, but same thing, in a sense.

* TheAce: Like the other recruitable characters in Creed's mansion, she's statistically the best of her class. Taken UpToEleven if she's promoted to a Master Monk.

* KnifeNut: His main weapons consisted of knives and daggers. He starts using swords once promoted to Ninja.

* MysteriousPast: How exactly does a Greater Devil come to retire? Every other one we see regards working for Zeon as a lifetime job and Zeon himself doesn't seem the type to let his minions retire on him. Possibly justified if he never worked for Zeon.
