History Characters / SuperRobotWarsReversal

* SanitySlippage: In ''Original Generation Gaiden'', in the beginning Duminuss was actually acting like her ''Reversal'' counterpart, manipulations aside. However, [[spoiler:after learning about where Dark Brain is and what it entails, it goes full on EvilMatriarch (something that startles even Mizal) and losing whatever affability it had with its children, more likely due to her status as an even ''more'' BetaTestBaddie than her original counterpart.]]

* HumanityIsInfectuous: [[spoiler:While trying to steal the Time Flow Engine from Raul, Despinis came across a very pregnant Garnet Sandi and this piqued her curiosity about 'creator' and 'mother'. Eventually it became her own character arc in trying to find out what it means, and became a catalyst for her to eventually pull a HeelFaceTurn.]]

* RedemptionEarnsLife: [[spoiler:''Original Generation'' only, primarily because she apologizes for having Lamia BrainwashedAndCrazy after resurrecting her, is [[HumanityIsInfectious convinced by Raji and Mizuho to abandon Duminuss' quest]], pulls a HeelFaceTurn and granted Raul and Fiona's protection during Duminuss' LastStand and a place among their allies]].

* GodzillaThreshold: After the battle with Dark Brain was over, Raul dismantled all Excellence units due to their Time Flow Engine being considered dangerous and more likely would attract dangerous beings like Dark Brain again. However, when the time-stopping [[Character/SuperRobotWarsJudgment Fury]] comes to fray, Raul decided to rebuild the Time Flow Engine just so the Terra Federation can stand a chance, even if his previous fears may come to pass one day.

* {{Otaku}}, NoFourthWall: In one intermission save dialogue for ''Original Generations'', he tries to ''disassemble the UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation 2}} just to understand how its energy source is!

Male protagonist of ''Reversal'', Raul Gureden is a test pilot of the Excellence machine installed with the "Time Flow Engine". He is partnered with WrenchWench Mizuho Saiki and good friends with the energy {{Otaku}} Raji Montoya. His story differs depending on {{Continuity}}.

In ''Reversal'', Raul lives in a CrapsackWorld where events like ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack'' or ''[[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Martian Successor Nadesico: Prince of Darkness]]'' is on the air. Trying to promote the Time Flow Engine, he enlists his team to the ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Ra Cailum]]'' or ''[[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Nadesico]]'', but at one point meets the enigmatic Duminuss, who wants the Engine for its own purposes. Attacking the Excellence crew, the Engine is damaged enough that it opens a wormhole, transporting them to the past, but before the events that occurred which turned their world into a crapsack. After doubting that any changes will preserve the future, Raul declares ''maybe'' a TemporalParadox won't hurt, [[ScrewDestiny if it's to fix the]] BadFuture, thus works with the "[[BadassArmy Round Knights]]" to ensure events will not trigger to cause the worst outcome. Duminuss continues to target him and the Engine, but its death throws Raul and his company back to their time, now brighter and sunnier because of his efforts to fix the past.

In ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Super Robot Wars Original Generation 2]]'', he hails from the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAdvance same world as the "Shadow-Mirror"]], with a younger {{Half Identical Twin|s}} sister named Fiona. In the prologue, the team's sought by the Shadow-Mirror, but continues to elude them, until [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Lemon Browning]] sends [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Axel Almer]] to retrieve the Time Flow Engine. He proceeds to disable Fiona's Excellence when Duminuss appears and sends an attack at Raul. Fiona [[TakingTheBullet takes the shot]], but the shock of the attack causes the Engine in her unit to go haywire and open a dimensional gate, sucking the siblings in (fortunately for Axel, he eludes it). Raul, Raji and Mizuho wind up transported to the Original Generation universe and align with the "Earth Federation Army" (with some help from [[Characters/CompatiHeroSeries Gilliam Yeager]]) at the height of the war with the "[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsClassic Inspectors]]" and the "[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Einst]]". Following the conflict, Raul, Raji and Mizuho join the crew of the ''Kurogane'' battleship, with hopes they might find Fiona.

In ''Reversal'', Raul lives in a CrapsackWorld where events like ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack'' or ''[[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Martian Successor Nadesico: Prince of Darkness]]'' is on the air. Trying to promote the Time Flow Engine, he enlists his team to the ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Nahel Argama]]'' or ''[[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Nadesico]]'', but at one point meets the enigmatic Duminuss, who wants the Engine for its own purposes.

* AdaptationalHeroism: While in ''Reversal'' she's still an apologetic ShrinkingViolet, she's still an enemy, at best she's an AntiVillain. In ''Original Generation'', she was still the same, but [[spoiler:after being spared from death, she slowly took a swing to heroism more and becoming a genuinely good girl.]]
* AscendedExtra: In ''Original Generation'', Despinis ApologisesALot to match her ShrinkingViolet characterization; furthermore, [[spoiler:she is the only homunculi spared when Dumniuss forcibly consumes them against their will as the Gureden siblings interfere. The twins adopt her into their family, turning her into a sub-pilot for the Excellence Rescue in the ''Seocond Original Generation'']].

* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:Raul and Fiona are more than glad to adopt her as a surrogate daughter. She's technically 'Despinis Gureden' now.]]

* SparedByAdaptation: In ''Reversal'', she combines with the rest of the homunculi to create Duminuss Triton, then killed by the Round Knights; [[spoiler:in ''Original Generation Gaiden'', she is absent when Duminuss absorbs her sibilings and is about to be KilledOffForReal by Dark Brain before when the Gureden siblings defend her, allowing her to live]].

In ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Super Robot Wars Original Generation 2]]'', he hails from the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAdvance same world as the Shadow-Mirror]], with a younger twin sister named Fiona. In the prologue, the team's sought by the Shadow-Mirror, but continues to elude them, until [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Lemon Browning]] sends [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Axel Almer]] to retrieve the Time Flow Engine. He proceeds to disable Fiona's Excellence when Duminuss appears and sends an attack at Raul. Fiona [[TakingTheBullet takes the shot]], but the shock of the attack causes the Engine in her unit to go haywire and open a dimensional gate, sucking the siblings in (fortunately for Axel, he eludes it). Raul, Raji and Mizuho wind up transported to the Original Generation universe and align with the Earth Federation Army (with some help from [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsClassic Gilliam Yeager]]) at the height of the war with [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsClassic the Inspectors]] and [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 the Einst]]. Following the conflict, Raul, Raji and Mizuho join the crew of the ''Kurogane'' battleship, with hopes that they might find Fiona.

Six months later in ''Original Generation Gaiden'', during a clash between [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Kouta Azuma]] and his BrainwashedAndCrazy sister [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Shouko Azuma]] as "Dark Emi", the energies from the Compatible Kaiser and G-Thundergate trigger a wormhole with Fiona and her Excellence coming out from it. While Raul catches up Fiona with current events, Duminuss kidnaps Raji and Mizuho; in response, he and Fiona take their machines to battle the creature and rescue them both, [[spoiler:alongside saving Duminuss' surviving homunculus Despinis]]. Raul's story ends with him dismantling the Excellence and the Time Flow Engine, citing the latter too dangerous and something like Duminuss will come again with hopes to seize the Engine and misuse it. Opting to open a junkyard/mechanic shop called "L&E Corporation" [[spoiler:and taking in Despinis as a family member]], Raul continues to become a test pilot for Mizuho's new rescue-oriented robotics. Despite not actively taking to the battlefield again, Raul continues to help the Earth Federation Army in the ''Second Original Generation''.

Which machine does he pilot? The modular-based Excellence, of course, with a full set of frames changeable to adapt to any situation/terrain. In either continuity, after Mizuho and Raji are captured by Duminuss, Raul acquires the {{super robot|Genre}} Excellence "Lightning" as a final upgrade. For the ''Second Original Generation'', despite having dismantled the Excellence, Raul returns with the new Excellence "Rescue", a designated support unit. Raul embodies these tropes:

* {{Attack Drone}}s: Excellence Cosmodiver's "Fairy"
* CallBack: In Scenario 27 for ''Original Generation Gaiden'', Raul notes the environment is the same when they were attacked by Axel and Duminuss back in their world. ''Original Generation Gaiden'' reused the same map from ''Original Generations''.

* CombatMedic: Rescue frame

* DiscOneNuke: In ''The Moon Dwellers'', [[LevelGrinding resupply grind him]] till he reaches level 99 in the Excellence Rescue. [[spoiler: When he and Fiona leave for the Gunstrikers, the entire ''Reversal'' team will be at level 99, allowing Despinis and her sub-pilots in the Rescue to cast some of the best support spirit commands in the entire game right off the bat.]]
* GunsAkimbo: Cosmodiver frame

* MechaExpansionPack, SwissArmyWeapon: Excellence's multiple frames

* [[ScrewDestiny Screw The Already Bleak Future]]
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: His standard reaction whenever people try to ship him with Mizuho.
* SpannerInTheWorks: In ''Moon Dwellers'', [[spoiler: his and Fiona's new Gunstriker units are this to the Fury, with the rebuilt Timeflow Engines able to NoSell the Fury's [[TimeStandsStill time manipulation abilities]].]]
* SpearCounterpart: Reversal'' only
** HalfIdenticalTwins: ''Original Generation'' only
* TemporalParadox, TimeTravel: ''Reversal'' only; of note is he doesn't necessarily care that he might alter the future to be more of a {{crapsack|World}} than before.
* TransformingMecha: Excellence is basically this; in ''Original Generation'', it can change frames on the fly, as opposed to ''Reversal'', where it can only change during the intermission or docked with an allied battleship.
* WrongGenreSavvy: The dismantling of the Time Flow Engine and Excellence frames is due to the belief it is attracting problems because of its unique nature. Turns out extraterrestrials still flock to Earth without it.

The heroine of ''Reversal'', Fiona starts as Raul's DistaffCounterpart, meaning her story's the same as his in ''Reversal'', yet they cannot co-exist together. Don't expect Fiona to be into GirlsLove for ''Reversal'', since she has a steady relationship with Raji, where she believes her status as a test pilot hinders his research with the Time Flow Engine. ''Original Generation'' turns her into Raul's [[HalfIdenticalTwins younger twin sister]] and unlike Raul who [[StraightMan takes his business seriously]], Fiona's [[TheTease much more laid back and a tease]], with a penchant of [[{{Subtext}} reminding her brother she's his younger sister]], despite him claiming [[DontExplainTheJoke it shouldn't make any difference, since they're...well, you know...twins]].

Her story starts out the same as Raul in ''Original Generation 2'', but after being thrown into the inter-dimensional gate, Fiona vanishes and isn't seen again. Come ''Original Generation Gaiden'', when the clash between the Compatible Kaiser's "Overgate Engine" and the G-Thundergate opens up a wormhole, out pops Fiona, starving and still injured from taking the attack meant for Raul by Duminuss. Thanks to the interference of Axel [[spoiler:and [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Einst Alfimi]]]], Raul hauls her for medical attention aboard the ''Kurogane''. After being caught up with the fact she's in an AlternateDimension and learning Raji and Mizuho are kidnapped by Duminuss, Fiona takes to the battlefield to assault Duminuss and continue to be at her brother's side. With Duminuss defeated, Fiona dismantles her Excellence, agreeing the Time Flow Engine is still yet an unstable piece of technology, and opens the "L&E Corporation" (named by her after the Lightning and Eternal frames) with Raul as another test pilot for Mizuho, although [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Dr. Marion Radom]] states she wants to build something for Fiona that's better than the Excellence.

She starts with the same Excellence machine like Raul, however her final upgrade is the much more feminime Excellence "Eternal". Fiona embodies these tropes (some of them are shared with Raul, though):

* CrucifiedHeroShot: Excellence Eternal's "Final Grand Cross"
** Subverted because she doesn't do this pose while doing her HeroicSacrifice: she pulls it out after surviving all those hijinx with the Eternal frame. A case can also be made that the Final Grand Cross is a ShoutOut to the "Grand Cross" attack from ''Anime/DetonatorOrgun''.
* DemotedToExtra: Rendered as a sub-pilot for the Excellence Rescue in the ''Second Original Generation'', but then defied in ''Moon Dwellers'': [[spoiler:Two extra Excellence units are apparently built (Gunstrike Module) and Fiona can pilot one of them, becoming an active pilot again.]]
* DistaffCounterpart: ''Reversal'' only
** HalfIdenticalTwins: ''Original Generation'' only

* HeroicSacrifice: ''Original Generation'' only; subverted later due to TrailersAlwaysSpoil (see [[HesJustHiding She's Just Hiding]])

* MechaExpansionPack, SwissArmyWeapon
* NotSoDifferent: Heroic variation - the way Marion approaches Fiona feels as if Marion was like Fiona when she was younger. Still, how a Fiona-like Marion (if true) could grow into the current Marion players know better...yeah, [[YouDoNOTWantToKnow might be better left unanswered]].

** Needless to say, {{Fanart}} ran with this and pulled off ScrewYourself for ''Reversal'' and {{Twincest}} for ''Original Generation''.

Raul's scientist friend who created the Time Flow Engine, Raji's an {{Otaku}} about energy sources and usually accompanies Raul in his endeavors, but in Fiona's scenario for ''Reversal'', he's her LoveInterest and a big source of Fiona's {{Wangst}}. In either continuity, he's kidnapped with Mizuho to create a new Time Flow Engine for Duminuss, but sabotages it at the last second to give Raul/Fiona a chance. Exclusively for ''Original Generation'', he becomes a sub-pilot for Raul's Excellence Lightning. At the end of ''Original Generation Gaiden'', when Raul and Fiona decide to dismantle their Excellences, Raji doesn't entirely abandon his continuing research to the Time Flow Engine, but he does intend to one day discover the Engine's true properties.

* HeroicSecondWind: Of sorts - when Duminuss appears for the penultimate time in ''Reversal'', it's really joyous the Round Knights cannot stop it from getting what it wants. Suddenly, Raji makes his "malfunction" on the second Time Flow Engine work, Duminuss gets horribly wounded and the tables are turned in the Round Knights' favor.
* StoicSpectacles: Applicable since Raji barely emotes
* {{Otaku}}, NoFourthWall: In one intermission save dialogue for ''Original Generations'', he tries to ''disassemble the Creator/{{PlayStation 2}}'' just to understand how its energy source is!

The other friend of Raul, more specifically his girlfriend ([[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend or not, as he insists]]), Mizuho's responsible for the creation of the Excellence machines and their various frames, built on the basis that her parents died after a disaster and she wanted to create a rescue-based unit. {{Irony}} ensues because of the demand in their world, thus she winds up arming the Excellence instead. Unfortunately for players, if Fiona's the protagonist for ''Reversal'', don't expect any LesYay. Usually seen next with Raji as a pair developing the Excellence, and in either continuity, she's kidnapped with him by Duminuss. Exclusively for ''Original Generation'', she becomes a sub-pilot for Fiona's Excellence Eternal.

** Despinis is the "superego", since she handles the task of supervising the construction of the second Time Flow Engine.

Duminuss is the mysterious entity in ''Reversal'' who claims it killed its creator (it could possibly be a ''she'' because of its voice actor in ''Original Generation'', but due to the lack of a specific gender, it'll simply designate Duminuss "genderless") and wonders about its purpose and attempts to find the answer. When Duminuss stumbles upon the Time Flow Engine, it tries to seize that with hopes to return to a point in the past and ask its creator about its purpose. Throughout ''Reversal'', Duminuss is assisted by three homunculi it created.

In ''Original Generations'', Duminuss makes its appearance in the Shadow-Mirror universe and heads an attack on the Gureden siblings, unknowingly damaging Fiona's Excellence and its Time Flow Engine. The next time it appears is in ''Original Generation Gaiden'', where-in Duminuss destroys [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Wilhelm von Juergen]] and commandeers the ODE System for its use. In this setting, Duminuss has acquired the "Emi Armor" and G-Thundergate, forming an uneasy alliance with the [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact3 Shura]]. As help for revealing the inner workings of the Swordian Fortress, Duminuss demands they kidnap Shouko Azuma, brainwashing her to become Dark Emi via the Emi Armor and use the G-Thundergate to antagonize Fighter Roar, Kouta's HenshinHero alter ego. All this is so Duminuss can gather parts of the "Twelve Keys" to summon its master [[spoiler:[[Characters/CompatiHeroseries Dark Brain]]]] into this dimension.

Unfortunately, due to multiple circumstances, the Emi Armor and G-Thundergate are seized by Kouta and his allies from the Earth Federation Army, forcing Duminuss to call its master. However, [[spoiler:Dark Brain]] deems Duminuss a failure for having lost the Emi Armor and G-Thundergate to his nemesis and destroys Duminuss after successfully summoning it..

For the duration of ''Reversal'', Duminuss can take on three forms: "Proton", "Deutron" and "Triton". ''Original Generation Gaiden'' tosses out the Deutron form and has Duminuss transform into its Triton form [[spoiler:after forcibly absorbing Tis and Laliar against their will]]. Tropes associated with Duminuss:

* AntiVillain BigBad: ''Reversal'' version; many players REALLY got too touched with the homunculi's heart-wrenching HeroicSacrifice to the point where one has to wonder "THIS is the ''BigBad'' of the game?". Some players went to the extremes and were unable to finish ''Reversal'' because they just couldn't bear to see the event go in vain. However, ''Original Generation Gaiden'' [[AvertedTrope threw all of this out the window]].
* BackFromTheDead, CameBackWrong: It'd use these as a means to antagonize the heroes by reviving two supposedly dead characters. In ''Reversal'', it's [[spoiler:[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Master Asia]]]]; in ''Original Generation'', it's [[spoiler:[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Lamia Loveless]]]] (though more of a case of salvaging a NotQuiteDead person).
* BetaTestBaddie: Implied in ''Original Generation Gaiden'' by [[spoiler:Dark Brain, who calls Duminuss correctly as "Dynamis 3", the notion that Duminuss is but one of many other examples of this in TheMultiverse created and sent out to seek the Twelve Keys]].

* MoreThanMindControl: More or less; in ''Original Generation Gaiden'', it resorts to this to control [[spoiler:Lamia]] since normal reprogramming isn't enough, [[spoiler:yet it misses [[ChekhovsGun one tiny black box which ends up enabling her to recover]]]].

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Duminuss' only wish is to know its purpose; because its creator shunned Duminuss, it destroyed the creator. [[spoiler:It's implied Dark Brain implanted that memory into Duminuss and abandoned it]]. Duminuss shifts into different dimensions, discovers the Time Flow Engine and wants to use it to return to the past to ask its creator for its purpose. Three homunculi are constructed by Duminuss to assist it, with such loyalty to it [[spoiler:they willingly sacrifice themselves to regenerate their master]]. The Round Knights destroy Duminuss and it dies in agony never knowing what its true purpose is. Note this only applies to the ''Reversal'' countepart as ''Original Generation Gaiden'' subverts this and makes Duminuss an unrepentant JerkAss, [[spoiler:since its ''Original Generation'' counterpart is an entirely ''different'' entity created by Dark Brain]].
* YankTheDogsChain: Attempts to do so in ''Original Generation Gaiden'' - [[spoiler:after making it look like Lamia is KilledOffForReal, Duminuss brings her back in order to demoralize her allies, making sure that Lamia cannot refuse any order, such as a SelfDestructMechanism. This ends in failure because Axel [[BackFromTheDead happens to be around]], [[HeelFaceTurn has a change of heart]] and [[SpannerInTheWorks knows something that overrides]] Duminuss' brainwashing]].

The pink-haired homunculus of Duminuss, Tis is the leader of the three. Impulsive and hot-headed, Tis is [[ACupAngst super sensitive about the size of her breasts]] (in fact, her wish if she ever gets revived is to get [[BuxomIsBetter a body with larger ones]]). In ''Reversal'', Tis makes contact with [[Anime/{{Zambot 3}} the Gaizock Empire]] for an alliance; in ''Original Generation'', she sends the [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Space Flounder monsters]] against the ''Hiryu Custom'', as well ensuring the G-Thundergate is still in their possession.

Her mecha is called the Durgatel, which is always accompanied by the "[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Pater]]". Tis embodies these tropes:

* CuteBruiser: Moreso than the others. In ''Reversal'', she and her homunculi siblings fight the [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Shuffle Alliance]] ''to a standstill''...in '''unarmed combat'''.
* EnfantTerrible: Unlike the other homunculi, Tiz is pretty mean.
* FastballSpecial: One of the Durgatel's attacks is essentially having its towering golem-like machine Pater throwing it at the enemy.

Her personality, however, ends up giving her a good tweak in ''Original Generation'': [[spoiler:Despinis is the only homunculi spared, unlike her siblings who are consumed against their will by Duminuss, then destroyed by Dark Brain. The Gureden siblings adopt her into their family, though this doesn't fix her shyness]].

Despinis is seen with her mecha Ereos in combat, [[spoiler:but at the end of ''Original Generation Gaiden'', she destroys it to let go of the past. Despinis returns in the ''Second Original Generation'' as a sub-pilot of the Excellence Rescue, alongside Fiona]]. Tropes associated with Despinis include:

* ApologisesALot, ApologeticAttacker: Frequently
* CombatMedic: [[spoiler: Pilots the Excellence Rescue in ''Moon Dwellers''.]]

* RedemptionEarnsLife: [[spoiler:''Original Generation'' [[SparedByTheAdaptation only]], primarily because she apologizes for having Lamia BrainwashedAndCrazy after resurrecting her, is [[HumanityIsInfectious convinced by Raji and Mizuho to abandon Duminuss' quest]], pulls a HeelFaceTurn and granted Raul and Fiona's protection during Duminuss' LastStand and a place among their allies]].

* SparedByAdaptation: In the original game, she combined with the rest of the Homunculus to create Duminuss Triton, then killed by the heroes. In here, [[spoiler:she wasn't merged, Duminuss just forced her siblings (she was absent). Then Dark Brain offed Duminuss and before he goes to her, the Gureden siblings defended her, allowing her to live and becoming an adoptive daughter.]]
* SupportPartyMember: [[spoiler:You're not likely to use Despinis for combat against Dark Brain, or even Shu, but she, much like Alfimi, comes with excellent Spirit Command set available from the get-go without even levelling her. Likewise, when she's in Excellence Rescue, she's mostly being the Spirit Command bank]]. She also tends to stay out of direct combat during her time serving Duminuss, with Laliar and Tis doing the heavy hitting. Ereos is also designed to look like a white mage with rod, further putting her into this trope.
** Continued in ''Moon Dwellers'' [[spoiler: when she takes over piloting the Excellence Rescue after Raul and Fiona upgrade to the Gunstrikers.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Some of the tropes REALLY changes how things portray her...

The only male homunculus, Laliar serves as the middle ground between Tis and Despinis. He contacts the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Neo Zeon]] in ''Reversal'' and takes a more active stance in combat. In ''Original Generation Gaiden'', Laliar rarely heads to the battlefield and [[DemotedToExtra seemingly gets shafted to the sidelines]].

In the instances he goes to fight, he uses the machine Hypocrisis. Tropes associated with Laliar:

* DemotedToExtra: Laliar was very active in ''Reversal'', but is more or less something of a glorified MissionControl for his siblings in ''Original Generation Gaiden''. While he does get into battle, it'd be for around just one or two scenarios.

* TheOneGuy, UnsettlingGenderReveal: Yes, Laliar is a BOY, folks.
