History Characters / TheWorldGodOnlyKnowsProtagonists

* HairDecorations: Though this applies to all the New Devil spirit catchers. Doubles as a spirit sensor. She changes it for a headband with a happy face accessory [[spoiler:after her {{Retconjuration}}]].

* HairDecorations: Has her hair tied into two braids and curved upwards supported by two large ribbons.

** [[spoiler:Towards the end of the series after the dust has settled he explicity chooses Chihiro as the person he wanted to persue a romantic relationship with. While attracted by the idea she embodies everything he cannot control, he also does this so that every other candidate will know for a fact they can't persue him anymore. As a result he hopes they'll be able to move on with their lives without having to pine for his affections anymore.]]

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: In all but blood. Elsie pretends to be Keima's little sister and he's constantly frustrated with her for being a next to useless airhead. [[spoiler:In the penultimate chapter she becomes his blood sister by retconning reality with her wish.]]

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: In all but blood. [[spoiler:In the penultimate chapter she becomes his blood sister by retconning reality with her wish.]]
* AntiAntiChrist: [[spoiler: The strongest Weiss, responsible for the destruction of millions over the years. But never by choice, or by intention.]]

* GenkiGirl: Oh so very much.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Elsea" (as used in this Tv Tropes page and various Website/ImageBoards) vs. "Elucia" (as per [[http://kaminomi.wikia.com/wiki/Elucia_de_Lute_Ima her Kaminomi Wikia page]]), nothwithstanding the fact that both sites eventually accept the nickname "Elsie"

* TsurimeEyes: His sharp eyes help empathize his aloof and calculating character.

* {{Bishonen}}: While he's usually a nerd, when pursuing a target and downplaying his interest in games, the fact that he's actually quite handsome comes to light. In the first novel, [[spoiler:Yoshino Ikumi]] is surprised to see that he really is as handsome as [[spoiler:her sister]] described.
* BreakHerHeartToSaveHer: [[spoiler:Pushes Chihiro away after her confession to him because she isn't a goddess host and thus being close to him would put her in danger and get in the way of him finding Mercury. Regardless of the fact that she would want to be close to him. He obviously ends up very depressed afterward, enough to put him into tears over a ''real'' girl for the first time]].

** ''''[[BerserkButton Don't screw with me!]]''''

* CharacterDevelopment: In general, he's gone from a {{Jerkass}} to a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. Indeed, one way of looking at it is that he's becoming exactly what the ideal hero of the dating sim is supposed to be like: Kind deep down, brave, determined and self sacrificing. He's also become willing to put more time and effort into the captures as well as being less flustered when things actually go according to plan. Several of the arcs also have more specific development such as:

* HopelessSuitor: [[Pantheon/{{Passion}} Deified.]] [[spoiler:Poor Tenri never had a chance to win Keima's heart because he was already meant to be with Chihiro and she knew it all along, but she still had a little hope that things could end up differently.]]
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[Pantheon/{{Passion}} Also Deified.]] As long as Keima is happy, Tenri is happy. When Keima asks her what she wants to do about her feelings for him, she says she only wants to help him so he can return to his normal life and play his beloved games. At the end of the series, [[spoiler:it's revealed Tenri knew for ''a full decade'' that Keima would fall in love with another girl, but she did nothing about it and decided to let Keima be with Chihiro.]]

* TheChessmaster: He's basically what [[CodeGeass Lelouch]] or [[Manga/DeathNote Light]] would have been if they were into scoring chicks, real or virtual. Kind of comes with being a MagnificentBastard. It's a package deal.

Keima is a 17-year-old student known throughout the internet as "[[AGodAmI The Capturing God]]"[[note]]"God of Conquest" in the English Dub[[/note]] for his unrivaled mastery of ''[[DatingSim Galge]]''. He vehemently claims to have no interest in reality or 3-D girls, instead preferring the company of his video game characters. Therefore, while a legend in the gaming world, in real life he's an anti-social {{otaku}} whom most students avoid. Despite his lack of real world social skills, he demonstrates immense confidence and remarkable intelligence, and is in fact [[TheAce at the top of his class in every subject]] [[GeekPhysique except PE]].

* GeekPhysique: He's at the top of his class, is '''the''' [[RedBaron God of Conquest]], but his body is rather frail because he forgets to get himself in shape due to his obsession with video games. During arcs that require him to be more physically active, he is frequently shown getting exhausted.

* GuileHero: He's [[GeekPhysique useless in physical confrontations]], but thanks to his skill in strategy and seduction, pulls most of the weight in the series.

* SidekickExMachina: Her role in Keima's strategies is essentially acting as a magic dispenser: "Elsie, could you do X with your [[GreenLanternRing robe]]?" "Yes, Kami-nii-sama!"

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Elsea" (as used in this Tv Tropes page and various {{Image Board}}s) vs. "Elucia" (as per [[http://kaminomi.wikia.com/wiki/Elucia_de_Lute_Ima her Kaminomi Wikia page]]), nothwithstanding the fact that both sites eventually accept the nickname "Elsie"

* {{Asexual}}: Matters of romance and emotions aside, Keima has no sex drive whatsoever.

* AscendedFanBoy: Unknown to him, he is the epicenter of the [[DatingSim Gal Game]] industry, to the point he and his site were responsible for the industry's re-invigoration while it was in shambles. Also he was asked to direct a game of his desire, but he refused in the end.

---> ''[[DangerouslyGenreSavvy The unknown person who shows up in the middle of a crisis is always suspicious...IN VIDEO GAMES!]]''

* SiblingYinYang: With Elsie, although they're not actual siblings. Keima is serious, smart and asocial, Elsie is cheerful, ditzy and friendly. [[spoiler:They play completely straight at the end of the manga, where Elsie has become his blood-related sister thanks to a CosmicRetcon.]]

* SiblingYinYang: She might not be Keima's actual sister, but she has this with him. Elsie is cheerful, ditzy and friendly, Keima is serious, smart and asocial. [[spoiler:They play completely straight at the end of the manga, where Elsie has become his blood-related sister thanks to a CosmicRetcon.]]

* TheNotLoveInterest: Elsie is introduced as a typical MagicalGirlfriend to Keima, she acts as his partner as they capture evil spirits that are possessing girls in the real world and they live together under the pretense that Elsie is his long lost half-sister. While they have their ShipTease moments, their relationship always remains sibling-like and they never show any serious romantic interest in each other. [[spoiler:And thanks to a CosmicRetcon at the end of the manga, they are real blood-related siblings now.]]

* [[spoiler:AlmightyJanitor]]: [[spoiler:Elsea is considered one of the weakest and most unsuccessful demons in hell. She's so bad that she's literally been stuck with nothing but cleaning duty for the past three centuries. It is ultimately revealed that she is actually the most powerful of all Weiss, an unbeatable force that Vintage and Satyr are desperately seeking, and was transformed into a New Hell Devil and her memories erased to protect her from them.]]

* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Elsie.

* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Keima, though their relationship isn't without its ShipTease moments. [[spoiler:As of chapter 267, reality was retconned to make them actual siblings.]]
