Line #17 Characters/RPGMetanoia


1	This page describes the characters (and their avatars) in ''Animation/RPGMetanoia''.
2
3	!Nico/Zero
4	A boy who daydreams about being a hero and enjoys playing online games yet is shy and timid in real life.
5	----
6	* TheAtoner: Thinks that the spread of the virus is his fault so he refuses to wait for someone else to fix it.
7	* BlatantLies: When he was trying to convince his Mom to buy him a new video card "for research". He [[FreudianSlip ended up talking about]] videogames anyway.
8	* TheHero: He believes that he is one but his real heroics didn't come until the climactic part of the movie.
9	* IJustWantToBeSpecial
10	* KillerYoyo: But very much not so in his real life.
11	* LeeroyJenkins: Had the chance to put the orb piece in the mechanism during the tournament but decided to fight Sargo instead.
12	* MeaningfulName: [[AllThereInTheManual As mentioned]] in the official site, the name [[MyHeroZero Zero]] represents how his true strength lies in being underestimated and having nothing to lose.
13	* RareRandomDrop:
14	** He found the Helm of Destiny at the beginning of the movie.
15	** His yoyo is also among the secret items the developers placed in the game.
16	* WeCanRuleTogether: [[spoiler:[[EnemyWithout Zero tempted Nico]] to wear a Helm of Destiny. Nico declined.]]
17
18	!Bryan/Mang Ernie
19	Bryan is the de facto leader of the party and Nico’s best buddy. Smart, tough and confident, he looks out for the members of his group, always ready to step in to defend them at the first sign of trouble.
20	----
21	* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:Briefly became one of Sargo's troopers near the end of the movie.]]
22	* AttackDrones: He can summon a glowing flock of birds from his top hat.
23	* BoomStick: His umbrella could also function as this.
24	* FakeDefector: Downplayed. He was hanging out with Andrew and David because they'd allow them to play again in the Bomb Shelter if he helps them level up.
25	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Uses a top hat and an [[ParasolOfPain umbrella]]. Apparently, the top hat is also among the special items in Metanoia as shown in one of the expositions.
26	* TheLeader
27	* LevitatingLotusPosition: While casting one of his spells in the final battle.
28	* ShockwaveStomp: He can create it by striking the ground with his umbrella.
29	* SupportPartyMember: He grants Zero some StatusBuff to help the latter reach the mechanism during the tournament.
30
31	!Daniel/K'mao
32	Daniel is the quintessential strong and silent type. He rarely says anything, but action speaks volumes. Though he’s the most athletically able of the bunch, he’d rather bury his head in a sudoku puzzle book while the others goof around.
33	----
34	* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:Briefly became one of Sargo's troopers near the end of the movie but only after almost defeating him.]]
35	* BareFistedMonk: K'mao is an unarmed fighter, though he can also use some ranged magic attacks.
36	* ChekhovsSkill: Daniel is [[EstablishingCharacterMoment first seen]] busy with a Sudoku puzzle book before Nico invites him to the Bomb Shelter. In the tournament, this comes in handy when he (as K'mao) solves an in-game weird GridPuzzle that resembles Sudoku. It's even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]]; Mark asks how Daniel solved it, and the latter throws the Sudoku book at the former's face.
37	* GeniusBruiser: Daniel emphasizes on the [[TheSmartGuy Genius]] part and K’mao on the Bruiser.
38	* GoodWithNumbers: Loves Sudoku puzzles.
39	* KiManipulation
40	* MeaningfulName: [[PunctuationShaker K'mao]] is from "kamao", a Filipino word for "fist."
41	* SamuraiPonytail: K'mao has a topknot.
42	* TheSilentBob: Daniel only makes a few grunts and snickers but K’mao [[CallingYourAttacks calls out]] his “[[RockPaperScissors Bato Bato Pick]]” attack. Being the same sound clip for the times that it can be heard, it's possible that it's an in-game sound effect.
43
44	!Mark/Ahdonis
45	Mark believes everything his mother tells him. At some point, she told him that he was handsome and that girls will go gaga over him. His friends like him though his futile attempts to get girls to notice him are constant source of comedic entertainment for them.
46	----
47	* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler: Briefly became one of Sargo's troopers near the end of the movie.]]
48	* CrashIntoHello: Into the Japanese schoolgirl avatar during the tournament.
49	* DualWielding: He uses arnis sticks in combat.
50	* FolkHero: This is his job class and his description of his chest tattoo as an ''anting-anting'' (amulet) harkens back to Filipino heroes of old.
51	* KidAnova: In both the real life and the game. He chats with random girls in the game instead of actively trying to level up.
52	* MagikarpPower: He can already hold his own against most players but he could have been stronger if not for his chest tattoo that eats up EXP. [[spoiler:He managed to [[TookALevelInBadass level up]] by the final battle but unfortunately was still defeated by Sargo.]]
53	* MyNaymeIs: Ahdonis. When Mark is shown logging into Metanoia during the tournament, he even had to backspace from typing the usual "Adonis".
54	* NighInvulnerability: His chest tattoo gives him this. Oddly, [[AllThereInTheManual according to the official site]], it’s an [[ExperiencePoints EXP]] [[ManaShield shield]].
55	* PluckyComicRelief: A RunningGag involves him unsuccessfully trying to flirt with girls (both in and out of the game) before he takes things seriously.
56	* PowerTattoo: His blue glowing chest tatoo makes him temporarily [[NighInvulnerability invincible]], and it dims out when its effect wears off.
57	* {{Troll}}: Claims to have not washed his hands after going to the comfort room and [[ToiletHumor wiped it on Bryan's shirt]]. The truth is left ambiguous.
58
59	!Bobby/Sumpak
60	Bobby stutters a lot but is a loyal and stalwart friend. Literally the biggest geek in the group, he keeps everyone constantly updated on all things Metanoia.
61	----
62	* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:Briefly became one of Sargo's troopers near the end of the movie.]]
63	* BackpackCannon: Sumpak carries one that is shaped like a [[VisualPun barrel]].
64	* BadassBookworm: Knows a lot about Metanoia [[spoiler:including conspiracies surrounding it]].
65	* {{BFG}}: Carries around a bamboo cannon.
66	* TheBigGuy: Bobby and his Sumpak avatar are both fat, though in-game, this allows him to carry heavy weapons.
67	* GogglesDoNothing
68	* MeaningfulName: A sumpak is an improvised firearm used in the Philippines.
69	* MoreDakka: His BackpackCannon contains additional [[MacrossMissileMassacre missile launchers]] if he needs to bring them out.
70	* SpeechImpediment
71	* [[TheBlacksmith The Weapon-Smith]]
72
73	!May[=/=][[Letters2Numbers C4SS4NDR4]]
74	May is every school boy’s dream girl. She is smart, pretty, funny, and can down five consecutive three-point shots without breaking a sweat. Sure, she can run rings around boys her age and probably put bullies twice her size in a head-lock, but underneath her tomboyish rough and tumble exterior is a deeply sensitive, caring individual who only wants to fit in.
75	----
76	* TheBeastmaster: She has a [[SummonMagic virtual pet]] named Jolene/Jolens.
77	* CombatPragmatist: Nico called her out on it when they first met in the game, simply because she [[TheBeastmaster summoned her pet Jolens]] in contrast to him fighting without any assistance.
78	* GaussianGirl: How Nico first saw May as and when he realized who [=C4SS4NDR4=]'s player is.
79	* HardLight: Cassandra can surround herself with an armor or create a shield of pink light a la [[Franchise/GreenLantern Star Sapphire]].
80	* ILetYouWin: It's her idea to let Nico win the traditional games to boost his confidence.
81	* Letters2Numbers: Her avatar is named as such, replacing the letter A with the number 4 in "Cassandra".
82	* OneOfTheBoys: Nico described her as a girl whom “you couldn’t have a crush on” because “she’s manlier” than most of them, though he just said that for them to get off his case.
83	* SixthRanger: She first encounters Nico's group being bullied by Andrew and David in a basketball match, then proceeds to humiliate the latter two. Afterwards, she became affiliated with Nico's group, both in and out of Metanoia.
84	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only girl shown to be in Nico's group of friends.
85	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Cassandra looks more girly than May.
86	* TomboyishPonytail: May has a ponytail and is familiar with physical activites and basketball. Nico even says she's "manlier" than him and his friends.
87	* WolverineClaws: Comes with the HardLight armor.
88
89	![[spoiler:Cel]]/Sargo
90	The enigmatic lone avatar known as Sargo is a pool shark. The pool shark class is evolved from the basic template of a Vagabond Traveler, so Sargo is actually a logical progression of what Nico’s avatar Zero could eventually become. With his battle-cue and his prodigious ability to place targets where he wants them to be, Sargo has fought, his way out of countless bar brawls resulting from pool hustles gone sour. Fighting alone, with an allegiance to no one, Sargo will break anyone who gets in his way. He is not to be trusted.
91	----
92	* BadGuysPlayPool: Sargo is the antagonist who specializes in the pool shark class.
93	* ClarkKenting: Sargo is quite obviously just [[spoiler:Cel without the glasses]]. However, it's unknown if the {{Digital Avatar}}s actually resemble their players that much in-universe or it's just a result of DeepImmersionGaming.
94	* DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler:Invited to May’s birthday party after he was defeated.]]
95	* {{Expy}}: Of the [[VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} Lich King]].
96	* EyeBeams: A power gained from wearing the [[spoiler:Helm of Destiny]].
97	* IWorkAlone: Notably the only one who wasn't shown to have anyone helping him at the tournament.
98	* MalevolentMaskedMen: Aside from wearing the [[spoiler:Helm of Destiny]], those he control also wear it.
99	* MeaningfulName: Sargo is a Filipino term that means “to break” in billiards. Meanwhile, [[spoiler:Cel is short for "celluloid," a transparent sheet on which objects are drawn or painted for traditional, hand-drawn animation. It is also an IronicName because the entire movie is an AllCGICartoon]].
100	* TheShutIn: If the TimePassesMontage as Nico and his friends play the traditional games is taken as an indication, Sargo's player stayed in his room in front of his computer for several days to carry out his conquest of Metanoia.
