Line #46 Characters/LucyTheEternitySheWishedFor


1	[[foldercontrol]]
2
3	[[folder: You]]
4	!!You
5
6	The protagonist of the story, a young man who’s apprehensive about technological advances and the existence of androids. He’s your stereotypical teenager: rebellious, stubborn and emotional; however, he is highly self-aware and intelligent. Unfortunately, he feels lonely due to having a strained relationship with his parents. He often [[ParentalNeglect clashes with his father, and his stepmother rarely comes around.]]
7	----
8	* BadLiar: Tries telling Lucy how awful her cooking is in an attempt to tease her, but she sees right through him because he smiles while saying so.
9	* BrilliantButLazy: Said to be the second-best student in his class after Dr. Gears, but puts a minimum amount of effort into his studies and attendance.
10	* DefrostingIceKing: Possibly, given the right choices.
11	* DesperatelyCravesAffection: Part of the reason he latches onto Lucy is due to ParentalNeglect.
12	-->'''You''': [[spoiler: Unlike the other kids at my age, I never had a mother taking care of me ever since I was little. My father [[{{Workaholic}} was always so focused on his work, too]]. And my new mother is nothing more than a distant stranger to me. She never stops by our place unless she has a good reason to. So basically... I've never had anyone take care of me when I was sick. That's why, the fact that you were here to stay by my side...]]
13	* TheDeterminator: [[spoiler: Spends 15 years learning robotics (which he hates) just to figure out how to rebuild Lucy from scratch.]]
14	* FeaturelessProtagonist: The player is meant to be the protagonist (hence the protagonist's name of "You"), so his appearance in [=CGs=] follows the trope example of a vaguely dark-haired young man whose [[EyesOutOfSight bangs hide his face.]]
15	* LikeFatherLikeSon: The protagonist despises his father, but inherited his father's extreme dislike of robots and admits it to Lucy. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold He eventually warms up to her]], though.
16	* NoNameGiven: The protagonist is referred to as "Master" by Lucy during the entire game, and the text box lists his name as "You". At one point early in the game, you can enter a name for him, but this does not matter as Lucy will continue to refer to you as Master [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall and even the protagonist will reject the name you give him]] immediately after. [[spoiler: This is because he is Dr. Ryu, the doctor who appears in the interludes throughout the main story]].
17	* YouAreWhatYouHate: [[spoiler: Became a robotics engineer despite his hatred of the subject, just so he could revive Lucy.]]

21	[[folder: Lucy Valentine]]
22	!!Lucy, aka PIM-001
23	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lucy_67.jpg]]
24	[[caption-width-right:350:''"Helping people. This is what Lucy lives for."'']]
25	->'''Voiced by:''' Noh Byeol Yi (Korean) / Maihara Yume (Japanese)
26
27	Thrown out for scrap, Lucy (model number: PIM-001) is a cheerful, lighthearted android. She is a "premium model" who was abandoned in a junkyard for unknown reasons. Not only does she look and feel human-like, the way she expresses complex emotions feel all too real.
28	----
29	* {{Ahem}}: Fond of doing this, usually with a smirk on her face.
30	* AllLovingHero: Due to the way she was programmed, Lucy cannot discern between good and bad people. This leads to several unintentionally humorous situations throughout the game.
31	** [[spoiler: In the Epilogue, even though the protagonist's father was a complete {{Jerkass}} to her at best and her destroyer at worst, she gives the father hope that his son will visit him again.]]
32	* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: [[spoiler: Even after Lucy is immolated, the [=CG=] shows her body is more or less intact with just burnt clothing, despite the game saying that she is completely destroyed.]]
33	* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: When she is found in the scrap heap and [[spoiler: when she "dies"]], she sports these.
34	* GaussianGirl: A variation, as she's frequently depicted in [=CGs=] with lots of strong lighting and bloom, [[RuleOfSymbolism making her look almost angelic]] at times.
35	* LethalChef: Subverted. One of the first features she points out to the protagonist's father while trying to quantify her worth to him is how excellent she is at domestic duties.
36	* ThePollyanna: Likely as a result of her programming, but she's a relentless optimist.
37	* QuizzicalTilt: One of her portraits includes this.
38	* RestrainingBolt: If Lucy harms a human, she is programmed to break down immediately.
39	* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: She's repeatedly noted to be far more human-like than any previous robot. [[spoiler: She even cries TearsOfJoy in the GoldenEnding.]]
40	* RobotGirl
41	* SexBot: Reveals herself to be "fully functional" as detailed under MomentKiller.
42	* StepfordSmiler: Reveals herself to be one [[spoiler: after your illness - she was smiling in spite of the emotional pain she was receiving earlier, [[DidYouThinkICantFeel fully aware of how mean you and your father were being]].]]
43	* ThirdPersonPerson: Always refers to herself as Lucy - until after you unlock the GoldenEnding, [[spoiler: where she uses "I" after recovering her memories, 15 years after you'd first found her]].
44	* UndyingLoyalty: To you. She refuses to refer to you as anything but "Master" the entire game, even when you try and correct her.

48	[[folder: Dr. Gears]]
49	!!Dr. Gears
50	[[quoteright:189:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/drgears.png]]
51	[[caption-width-right:189:''"Robot is robot. Human is Human. You should never forget this boundary."'']]
52
53	Your best friend. As his name suggests, he's an [[GadgeteerGenius expert in all types of machinery.]]
54	----
55	* AllegoricalCharacter: As his liberal use of androids and genius with technology suggests, Gears is meant to represent those who accept change as an inevitable part of life, unlike the protagonist and his father who yearn for [[NostalgiaFilter the good old days]] sans robots.
56	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Though he can be rough around the edges, he attempts to help you get over [[spoiler: the loss of Lucy.]]
57	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: His real name is Baek Du-san, but the only time he's referred to as such is when he introduces himself to Lucy.
58	** NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Or something, to be exact. Mt. Baekdu is the highest mountain on the Korean peninsula.
59	* OddFriendship: Gears is a GadgeteerGenius and obsessed with technology, while you are a hater of everything tech. Yet the protagonist describes him as a "good guy" and is best friends with him.
60	* {{Robosexual}}: Tells you he finds female androids attractive and employs five or six them at his home.

64	[[folder: Repairman]]
65	!!Repairman
66	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/repairman.jpg]]
67	[[caption-width-right:250:''"Compared to a real person, how does it feel to be with a fake?"'']]
68
69	An antique shop owner who works part-time as a mechanical repairman.
70	----
71	* AnimeHair
72	* GogglesDoNothing
73	* MrFixit: [[spoiler: However, he can't fix Lucy after she is destroyed in a fire.]]
74	* SmallRoleBigImpact: He has minimal dialogue and screen time, but [[spoiler: he takes you as an apprentice after Lucy is destroyed, laying the groundwork for your eventual future as a robotics engineer and Lucy's revival 15 years after she is destroyed.]] In fact, he is arguably the most important character in the game aside from Lucy and the protagonist [[spoiler: as both choices you need to make in order to get the GoldenEnding involve him]].
75
76	[[/folder]]
77
78	[[folder: Dr. Ryu]]
79	!!Dr. Ryu
80
81	(Called Ichinose in the Japanese dub.)
82	----
83	* BeardOfSorrow: Grows one after [[spoiler: Lucy "dies" and he spends the better part of two decades trying to rebuild her.]]
84	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Of a sorts - he is only called by his real name once or twice throughout the entire game, and is otherwise simply referred to as "Doctor". [[spoiler: He is actually you, the protagonist, 15 years after the original ending.]]
85
86	[[/folder]]
87
88	[[folder: Your Father]]
89	!!Your Father
90
91	The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin father of our protagonist]], he is notable for two main reasons: his ParentalNeglect and his hatred of robots.
92	----
93	* EducationMama
94	* HateSink: The only possible subversion being the epilogue, when he [[JerkassRealization realizes his mistakes]] and tries to reconcile with you.
95	* {{Jerkass}}
96	** JerkWithTheHeartOfAJerk
97	* ParentalNeglect
98	* {{Workaholic}}
99	* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Deconstructed. [[spoiler: [[{{Workaholic}} This is directly invoked]] because he believes that [[MiseryBuildsCharacter this would help his son grow up]]. [[ParentalNeglect Needless to say]], this aspect failed horribly and it isn't until 15 years later [[JerkassRealization that he realized this mistake]].]]
