History Characters / TheDeathMageWhoDoesntWantAFourthTimeBravers

* HealingFactor: As a RequiredSecondarySuperpower, oddly enough. Rikudou's brainwashing and gradual forced deterioration of her psyche and ego eventually lead to less of a fixation on the human form for shapeshifting, which allows her to effectively shapeshift spare body parts for herself. It's a pretty limited healing factor though due to conservation of mass working against her: She can make a new brain for herself if her head explodes, but only about twice before she's lost too much weight to use her ability anymore. This limitation is not immediately obvious, however, which intimidates her enemies.

* BigBadWannabe: While he's a genuine threat to Amemiya Hiroto and the Bravers, his plans are destined to fail from the beginning given that he attracted the enmity of both the God of Origin ''and'' Rodcorte. Okay, sure, not really the end of the world, but then you have to remember that in his next life he won't have the advantage of [[VillainWithGoodPublicity a good public image]] and will be horribly outclassed with genuine gods and monsters running about. [[spoiler:Sure enough, he ends up as little more than a footnote for an ever greater being.]]

* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: He's obsessed with power and godhood in large part due to a secret inferiority complex over how plain his ability is. Yes, it's very powerful to be able to grow without limitation, but it lacks a lot impact compared to stuff like slowing down time or shutting off magic in the area.

* DiabolicalMastermind: Controls an entire nation from the shadows.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: For the Bravers in Origin.

* PerspectiveFlip: Normally, an isekai story would have a character like him as the protagonist, follow his progress, and rarely show anything about the people he directly influences, justifying his less than stellar actions or bone-headed decisions with some well-scripted narrative or bailing him out via pure luck justifying his actions. In this case, the narrative pays little attention to what he sees and hears, but only focuses on the ''outcome'' of his actions and decisions, and how other people, particularly his victims, see him.

* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: Effectively. She can see through all lies, illusions, forgeries and sleight of hand, which destroyed many of her relationships and left her rather isolated. Knowing what people really think isn't fun at all, especially for someone that was a fan of innocent things like stage magicians. However, if she doesn't ask important questions, she doesn't have to hear people lie to her, which is how she coped with it. This came back to bite her when she failed to ask Kanako questions that would reveal her JediTruth answer to 'what is your ability?'

[[WMG:[[center: [- ''LightNovel/TheDeathMageWhoDoesntWantAFourthTime'' '''[[Characters/TheDeathMageWhoDoesntWantAFourthTime Main Character Index]]:'''\\

The leader of the Bravers organization. Originaly confused with Vandalieu by Rodcorte, he was given Vandalieu's Blessings and Fortune. Currently married to Narumi and father of two.

** In the end , he fails to save anyone and only manages to lessen the collateral damage from his own failures . It almost makes no sense that he is seen as the best hero in the world and manages to remain the leader of the Bravers .

* LogicalWeakness: His [Gungnir] is indeed very versatile, but he can't bypass Spirit forms since it would also make his own spirit phase out of his body effectively killing him, nor he can designate the body of an enemy as target because he would be unable to harm them. He also can't make himself bypass the air since he still have to breath, nor the floor since he would continue plumeting to the core of the planet.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Gets dark brown skin after becoming a chaos elf, which understandably has no Earth-based equivilent.

* {{Expy}}: He has many, many similarites to Kouki from ''LightNovel/ArifuretaFromCommonplaceToWorldsStrongest''.

* LogicalWeakness: His [Death Scythe] ability allows him to stop the body functions of anything he has eye-contact with, which is mostly useless against Undead who no longer have body functions he can stop.

* UnstoppableRage: Flew into one when she found out Asagi was dead. This recklessness would lead to her death.

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Though she initially goes along with Murakami in earnest, at some point she seemingly comes to the conclusion that there is no chance of victory and simply abandons him and the others after leaving an illusion to distract them. Her ability makes it basically impossible to track her down, so the remaining trio reluctantly realize that they have to let her go, especially since it's clear she won't defect to Van either.

* LogicalWeakness: Turns out it doesn't matter if you can see into the future if your opponent has so little presence you can't detect him.

* LogicalWeakness: She can turn into vapor and be practically invisible, but if she were to pass through a building, a small alteration in the air would be felt, which is were Vandalieu could detect and trap her.

* ShellShockedVeteran: Losing so many comrades took a toll on his mind, and was considering suicide, at least until Vandalieu eased his burden.

** At the end, he doesn't manage to save anyone, and only just succeeds at stopping the collateral damage.

* FatalFlaw: [[StupidGood Hiroto]]'s [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter poor judgement]], [[DidNotThinkThisThrough lack of foresight]], and [[HisStoryRepeatsItself failure to learn]] [[AesopAmnesia from his mistakes]] makes him a [[GeneralFailure General]] FailureHero [[BornLucky despite having]] [[ArmorPiercingAttack great]] [[MasterOfAll advantages]]. It's bad enough to the point that Hiroto is basically Origin's version of Heinz.

* [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist by her Own Petard]]: Burned Ereshkigal to death in revenge for Asagi's death, only for Ereshkigal's Counter ability to throw it back at her, burning her completely.

* FatalFlaw: {{Pride}}. His cheat is powerful and is even more so as he gets older but then [[ImmortalitySeeker he has desires for]] [[spoiler:[[GodhoodSeeker god]][[AGodAmI hood]]]] and that is the [[PrideBeforeAFall beginning of his fall]]. [[spoiler: When he eventually dies and is transported to Lambda he is incredibly outclassed by [[SemiDivine Van]][[KillTheGod dal]][[ShowyInvincibleHero ieu]] before being consumed by Guduranis after meeting Corrupted Edgar.]]
