History Characters / SuperRobotWarsAlpha

* GameBreaker\LightningBruiser Not normally, but most players will put Tasuku in the Huckibein MK III Boxer instead of Ryoto because he's so damn destructive in the thing.

* ChickMagnet (Poor Latooni and Mai: they never know he's only interested in giant {{robot girl}}s...)

* HartmanHips - HelloNurse!

* TransformingMecha [[CaptianObvious R-GUN turns into a gun.]]

* HartmanHips HelloNurse!

After the war with the Aerogators, she joins the EFA. Later, along with Gilliam Yeager and Lune Zoldark, she is sent to investigate the White Star. In Alpha, she uses the R-Gun Powered, but can use it as well in OG (otherwise, she comes with an AceCustom Gespenst). Viletta has these tropes:

Despite the FaceHeelTurn of [[spoiler:[[TheMole his commander, Ingram Plisken]]]], he continues the project and successfully forms the SRX. He remains in TheFederation, defending the Earth from various aliens and dissidents among TheFederation, while not letting go of his {{otaku}} traits. Even then, he proves to be quite a stud, such as getting the attention of two {{Little Miss Badass}}es, [[ElegantGothicLolita Latooni]] [[ShrinkingViolet Subota]] and [[SixthRanger Mai]] [[YoungestChildWins Kobayashi]]. Oddly enough, he actually responds to their attention, although probably not to the extent that they like. As of AnotherCentury'sEpisodeR, [[spoiler: His and Kyosuke's location is unknown.]]

* HeyItsThatVoice (Yuuki may not be as hotblooded as [[GaoGaiGar Soldat J]], but his attacks show hints of that side every so often. This troper wouldn't be surprised if Yuuki goes full circle and creates his own version of the [[GaoGaiGar J Phoenix]] with Carla down the road)

* CounterpartComparison (With Bullet. This troper had a little trouble distinguishing Touma's voice from Bullet's voice at first)
** It's lampshaded in-game: upon completing all routes in Alpha 3, a special scenario featuring the OriginalGeneration has Minaki and Kusuha notice the vocal and facial similarities between Touma and Bullet, wondering if they're related.

* MightyGlacier (Giganscudo's the slowest playable unit (excluding battleships) with a base movement speed of 5, but has some fairly strong attacks. Slightly subverted as Tasuku has both the Accelerate and Love Spirit Commands, making up for the lack of speed)
** Normally, most players wouldn't know to boot Ryoto Hikawa out of the Huckebein MK III Boxer as soon as they get it, but veterans will place Tasuku with that mecha, allowing him to subvert the trope.

* SuperSoldier (Implied throughout Original Generation: due to his conditioning and enhancements from The School, Arado's so outrageously strong he could've overpowered anyone on the Hagane when he was captured. It's more of an InformedAbilitiy, however, as either exceptional or dumb luck is usually the reason why he survived multiple shot downs)

* MidSeasonUpgrade (In Alpha 2, Arado begins with a Zaku II, then moves on to a powered-down Huckebein MK III, then upgrades to the Wild Wurger; in OG, Arado starts with Ryusei's R-Blade before moving onto the Wurger)

* SuperSoldier OG only. It's implied that with his conditioning and enhancements that he's outragously strong when he's first rescued and could have overpowered anyone on the ship. It's more of an ImpliedAbilty though unless you count his suriveing EVERYTHING, it's probably all not just luck.

* HeelFaceTurn (In both the Alpha series and the OG series; the OG version is a little more pronounced compared to her Alpha 2 version)

* PsychicPowers (The most powerful Psychodriver on Earth. At one point in ''Alpha 3'' she teleports the Alpha Numbers from a crumbling dimension after Ryusei fails to do it. And she does it with in a weak condition, still suffering from her BreakTheCutie process.)

** At the very least, it's ''not'' "Gun Eden"; "Gan Eden" is Hebrew for "of Eden", most notably in Nashim Gan Eden, which means "Garden of Eden"

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower (In a universe where it is possible to manipulate time and space to erase your enemies from existence, his SuperRobot's favorite method for delivering asskickery is to...well, kick them in the face really, really, ''really'' hard. Hard enough to destroy the BigBad)

* CounterpartComparison (With Bullet. This troper had a little trouble distinguishing Touma's voice from Bullet's voice at first)
** It's lampshaded in-game: upon completing all routes in Alpha 3, a special scenario featuring the OriginalGeneration has Minaki and Kusuha notice the vocal and facial similarities between Touma and Bullet, wondering if they're related

* QuirkyMinibossSquad (The Golar Golem and the seven fleet generals)

** Also, Fehu (of which Feff is a misreading), Uruz, Thurisaz, and Ansuz are the first four letters of the Runic Alphabet

** Rather [[spoiler: if enough time passed that the Astranagant returned back to Earth and got absorbed]]

* AndTheFandomRejoiced (Ryusei will appear in ''[[AnotherCenturysEpisode Another Century's Episode: R]]'', alongside [[SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Kyosuke Nanbu]] and [[SuperRobotWars2 Masaki Andoh]]. Oddly, rather than pilot the R-1, he's relegated to the ART-1)
* AscendedFanboy, mixed alongside {{Otaku}} ('''The''' poster boy of this trope for {{Super Robot}}s. Noriko Takaya from {{Gunbuster}} is a close second)

* MommasBoy Ryusei adores his mother, it's the one thing that racks up higher than friends and giant mecha on his priorities. He was even going to go into the military to pay her medical bills rather than go to collage [[FallingIntoTheCockpit (even though he got "drafted" anyway)]]. Though suberted by the fact that he's a ChickMagnet and his mom isn't too controling over him, though he does still live with her. Still, DO NOT THREATEN HIS MOTHER[[spoiler: or talk about experimening on her in psychodriver lab]]. He WILL kick your ass.
* ParentalAbandonment (His mother's still around, but [[spoiler:his father was a police officer KIA'd during duty]])
* PsychicPowers

* BadassNormal (Almost every member of the SRX team isn't a normal human: Viletta is...well...[[spoiler:an OppositeSexClone of Ingram]], and the rest are Psychodrivers, but Rai just happens to be ''so'' good, it guarantees him a spot in the SRX)
** Actually, [[spoiler:following Ingram's FaceHeelTurn, Rai nearly gets the boot out of the R-2 by the government, but he states so long as he's ''on'' the SRX Team, the R-2's his to use]]. Whoo! Talk about {{badass}}...

* HoYay (It should be noted Ryusei's by far the more aggresive of this in the {{running gag}}s)

* MagicarpPower A little. Not nearly as much as Ibis though. She's ok when you get her, but she doesn't get better than Villeta until you've powered her up a bit.
* MeaningfulName (Possibly: [[spoiler:keeping in line with Balmar's ThemeNaming, "Tolar" may be a mispronouciation of the word "Torah", meaning "the law" in Hebrew. Since Hebrew Levites were priests, and Levi acts as the commander of the Aerogaters, it's her job to "preach the law", just with extreme methods of kidnapping and {{brainwashing}} the human populace, anyways]])

** This theory gets a boost when the Banpreios first appears and [[spoiler:shatters a pocket dimension Hazal trapped the Alpha Numbers inside]] in Alpha 3. For the record, the only people piloting the Banpreios at that point are Rai (who isn't a Psychodriver) and Mai. Sure, the Crossgate may have played a role in that moment, but the fact Mai can generate enough PsychicPowers to move a mecha that requires ''four'' Pyschodrivers to normally pilot AND [[spoiler:break apart a pocket dimension]] says something about her abilities

[[spoiler:Ingram is a Time Diver, someone who takes on the role of keeping the balance of good and bad in dimensions]]. In OG, his initial mecha is the Wildschwein and later uses the R-Gun [[spoiler:until his FaceHeelTurn, where he mutates the machine into the R-Gun Rivale, rather than use the Astranagant from Alpha (since it doesn't exist in Original Generation)]]. Ingram has the following tropes:

* CommandRoster (TheCaptain, [[spoiler:until he defects]])
* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn]] ([[spoiler:Which starts to get complicated as it's revealed he's TheMole and was the reason for this trope. However, it's later revealed he's actually a ''ReverseMole'' acting in the role of StealthMentor]])

* PsychicPowers (In the Alpha universe, Ingram's a Psychodriver, though oddly [[{{Retcon}} this isn't touched upon in Original Generation]])

** That's only in OGS and OGG, in the gameboy versions of OG1 and OG2, Viletta and [[spoiler:Ingram]] are outright said not to be Psycodrivers, and don't have the ability at all. Which becomes important when Katina temporarly pilots the R-Gun in OG1. She's only able to because Ingram had it designed to be able to fire its WaveMotionGun without a T-Link system. [[spoiler:So he could use it on YOU.]]

** In Alpha 3, it's from Sanger he directly receives training to improve his techniques

** In the last episode of Divine Wars, Bullet nosebleeds after seeing [[spoiler:Lefina in a bunny suit]]

*** Excellen, being her GenreSavy self, tells her to cook what she thinks tastes completely AWFUL, then give it to Tasuku. His opinion is that it's the best food he's ever tasted, to her shock and embarassment.

** Actally Tasuku's the ONLY one who can break that stoic exterior, but only if they're alone and he's not being retarded.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation (In ''Divine Wars'', Tasuku's already a pilot in the Octo Squad during the Antarctic attack. He also upgrades to the Giganscudo much later than he does in the games, acquiring the mech during the final showdown with the [=UCC=]. Unfortunately, like the games, his first sorite in the Gigan results in a close encounter with the business end of Sanger's {{BFS}} that sidelines him for a while. In an interesting twist of fate, [[spoiler:Tasuku's the one who deals the death blow to Tempest Hawker's Valsion Custom during the DC's final stand in Geneva, Switzerland]])

* GameBreaker Not normally, but most player know to boot Ryoto out of the Huckibein MK III Boxer as soon as they get it because Tasuku is so destructive in the thing.

* MechaExpansionPack (Boxer or Gunner frames for the MK III)

* ClingyJealousGirl (Variative; not that Ryoto's chasing around girls, but Rio doesn't like it when his attention's turned away from her)

** Yuuki's rivalry with Bullet also mirrors the similar rivalry between Soldat J and Gai Shishioh

** It's ''Ibis'': "Ivis" came from people who never played the game she debuted in (where the very first thing you see is her name in English as Ibis) and assumed that all "b's" in Japanese must be "v's", even though Ibis follows the ThemeNaming of her and her partner (avians) and is, in fact, a real word

* {{Expy}} (With the amount of skills, talent and haughtiness, Sleigh might as well be a blatant {{expy}} of Kazumi Amano from GunBuster)

** This gets hilarious as she can fight the origin of her nickname in Alpha 2

** Unless of course the "insult" part is about her [[GagBoobs breasts]], to which he'll happily join you and get a whack to the face for his troubles

* GlassCannon Arado has the stats of a SuperRobot pilot rather than a RealRobot pilot, which means he can't dodge well but does good damage and has a good defense stat, but the Wild Wurger doesn't have a good armor stat at all without his Max Upgrade bonus and extra parts. Even then it's average at best. Most people will put evade increaseing items on the Wurger to compensate.
* HeelFaceTurn (In both the Alpha series and the OG series)

* MommasBoy Ryusei adores his mother, it's the one thing that racks up higher than friends and giant mecha on his priorities. He was even going to go into the military to pay her medical bills rather than go to collage [[FallingIntoTheCockpit (even though he got "drafted" anyway]]. Though suberted by the fact that he's a ChickMagnet and his mom isn't too controling over him, though he does still live with her.

* PsychicPowers (Only her Alpha incarnation is she a Psychodriver. Like Ingram, this gets [[{{Retcon}} dropped in Original Generation]] for reasons unknown)
** Which seems to be reconed back in OGS and OGG, since she can use T-Link Boomarang.
** Only for storyline reasons; she still has the abilities, but they aren't commented on

!!Ingram Plisken/[[spoiler:Alef Balshem]] (Voiced by Tohru Furusawa)

!!Viletta Vadim/[[spoiler:Bet Balshem]] (Voiced by AtsukoTanaka)

** That's due to her weird sense of taste: when she cooks something she thinks tastes awful, '''everyone else''' will like it and vice versa

* GlassCannon Arado has the stats of a SuperRobot pilot rather than a RealRobot pilot, which means he can't dodge well but does good damage and has a good defense stat, and the Wild Wurger doesn't have a good armor stat at all without his Max Upgrade bonus and extra parts. Most people will put evade increaseing items on the Wurger to compensate.

* PsychicPowers (Only her Alpha incarnation is she a Psychodriver. Like Ingram, this gets [[{{Retcon}} dropped in Original Generation]] for reasons unknown)

* Gamebreaker Not normally, but most player know to boot Ryoto out of the Huckibein MK III Boxer as soon as they get it because Tasuku is so destructive in the thing.

*WeakButSkilled: She has the weakest psychic power out of all the OG characters (Ryusei Mai, and the Alpha OC templates) but since she's been raised since childhood to harness it she's much more skilled with the power she has, as shown with her Strike Shield weapons which require precise control.

* YoungestChildWins (Possibly: her Psychodriver powers are often stated to be stronger than Aya's. The fact she's part of the SRX Team in order to fulfill the SRX's CombinationAttack makes it more obvious)
** This theory gets a boost when the Banpreios first appears and [[spoiler:shatters a pocket dimension Hazal trapped the Alpha Numbers inside]] in Alpha 3. For the record, the only people piloting the Banpreios at that point are Rai (who isn't a Psychodriver) and Mai. Sure, the Crossgate may have played a role in that moment, but the fact Mai can generate enough PsychicPowers to move a mech that requires ''four'' Pyschodrivers to normally pilot AND [[spoiler:break apart a pocket dimension]] says something about her abilities

*HeyItsThatVoice (He's [[SuzumiyaHaruhi Kyon]], if you can believe it)
** The better example's [[BlazBlue Ragna the Bloodedge]]

*OnlyKnownByTheirNickname (In his defense, Bullet prefers people address him by this name)

*HeyItsThatVoice (Yuuki may not be as hotblooded as [[GaoGaiGar Soldat J]], but his attacks show hints of that side every so often. [[ThisTroper This troper]] wouldn't be surprised if Yuuki goes full circle and creates his own version of the [[GaoGaiGar J Phoenix]] with Carla down the road)

*OnlyKnownByTheirNickname (Virtually no one uses Carla's full name in OG. The only one who ever does is [[spoiler:Van Vat Tran (but only in the Japanese version), right before his HeroicSacrfice when he orders Yuuki and Carla to join up with the ''Hagane'' and ''Hiryu Kai'']])

*PsychicPowers (Like the rest of the Alpha Originals, Carla's also a Pyschodriver. The Choukijin's revival aside, her powers are not really brought up that much in OG)
