Darth Wiki / Fergards Souls

The work is under construction.

Tropes applying to "Fergard's Souls" in general:

• Alien Invasion: Two of them in span of ten years which turned most of Europe into burning wreck.

Casper Stratoavis

Note: Of legendary Stratoavis bloodline, the man known also as The Last Stratoavis is quite a legend. Started out as a asocial, arrogant jackass, but after enough treatment he gets better. Would die by Midnight's hand if not for Daeva's intervention. Later on, plays a key role in defeating Midnight, although it comes with Heroic Sacrifice. The closest to "main character". Would be voiced by Brad Swaile.

Nega Casper

Note: An Evil Counterpart of Casper, known for its bloodlust and lack of any morals. The origins of it are unknown, but it may be related to Creatures of Abyss. Apparently, it can die only with Casper himself. In other case, it will keep reincarnating, even if it will take some time.

Amadeo "Night Shooter" Nocturne

Note: Being the bloodhound of one of the most influential beings in the whole universe, Dark Reaper, N.Shooter is laid-back, optimistic, always-smiling kind of type. Though he seems goofy at first, don't push his limits too far or else he'll get you in no time. Would be voiced by Yūichi Nakamura and Patrick Seitz.

Tropes applying to N.Shooter:

• Almighty Janitor - Don't be fooled by his low rank, he can give you a run for your money with mind-boggling ease.
• Badass Biker - Rides a harley made entirely of flames, kicks copious amounts of butt.
• Bayonet Ya - Has an undermounted bayonet under his shotgun. The blade seems to be a claymore's.
• Beware the Silly Ones - Most of the time he simply screws around with his opponents, but if you happen to push his Berserk Button... Hoo boy.
• BFS - It's a claymore after all.
• Boisterous Bruiser - Tends to be really loud when at the battlefield.
• Captain Ersatz - Looks like Ghost Rider. Don't mention it.
• Embarrassing First Name - Don't call him Amadeo either.
• Flaming Skulls - Can apply it to himself by shooting himself in the head.
• Kill It with Fire - While he can throw fireballs and make a fine use of hellfire, he considers it way too lame and prefers good ol' brawling along with his shotgun... Unless he's serious or pissed off. Porcupine found it the hard way.
• Let's Get Dangerous! - Once he becomes serious, everything but Midnight flees in sheer terror.
• Lightning Bruiser - Takes absurd amounts of punishment, hits like a semi-truck and is exceptionally fast for his height(2.2 meters). He can also cover large distances with his firebike.
• Punch-Clock Villain - While he's not evil per se(Though he's quite a crazy sociopath), his first boss is named "The Cause of Evil" for some reason.
• Shotguns Are Just Better - Uses Mosberg 500.
• Wrestler in All of Us - He makes a fine use of wrestling moves, most notably powerslams and the likes that utilize his absurd strength.

Porcupine

Grim, brutal and with no regards to human life, Porcupine has quite a Freudian Excuse: He was given free will only to be turned into malformed abomination, twisting genes of demons and Creatures of Abyss. Made a sucessful escape, but the hostility he encountered on his journeys made him grow bitter and spiteful of others. Hired by N. Shooter for Team Inferno purposes. His mixed heritage proves crucial in his betrayal of Team Inferno as he joins Midnight's ranks and kills Chaos. N.Shooter was not amused. Would be voiced by D.C. Douglas.

Tropes applying to Porcupine:

• Body Horror - Went through some serious experiments which not only gave him a permanent Glasgow Grin and gold eyes, but also blessed him with a line of spikes made out of his own flesh and bones that can be used as a circular saw.
• Bulletproof Vest - Wears a custom one that is able to halt everything but the biggest calibres.

• The Gunslinger - Type B. He will absolutely rain down the opposition with bullets.
• The Quiet One - Does not talk much, mostly because following experiments considerably upped the ante in speaking for him(he spits blood every time he speaks for too long).

Chaos

And old luciferian demon and one of the few of this date to have a free will. Is a part of Team Inferno alongside N.Shooter and Porcupine. Usually a voice of reason between insane N.Shooter and sadistic Porcupine, though he isn't called "Chaos" for nothing. Killed by Porcupine during the Last War. Would be voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch.

Tropes applying to Chaos:

• Badass Normal - Not exactly "normal", considering he's a demon, but still, when he still holds his own in a company of Night Shooter and Porcupine...
• Confusion Fu - His weapons are a set of two mechanical hands which are able to change into flamethrowers, rocket launchers and chainswords. Combining it with his mobility and a quirk for Rocket Jump, you never know where this guy is and what is he going to do.
• Glass Cannon - He lacks a natural tankiness of N.Shooter and heavy armor of Porcupine, so once he gets hit, it's all downhill for him.
• Only Sane Man - The voice of reason in Team Inferno.
• Wrestler in All of Us - Even moreso than N.Shooter, Chaos is able to deliver devastating blows and throws with a mind-boggling ease.

Albrecht "The Scavenger" Kaiser

Note: A vampire of the germanic origin, turned undead after losing the duel with Szabla Stratoavis. Since that period of time he's been pretty much everything: Mercenary, noble, teacher, soldier, attorney etc. Despite being listed as crazy, carnage-loving sociopath via Mercenary's Guild notebooks, he's surprisingly social when not on battlefield. Would be voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi.

Tropes applying to Albrecht:

• BFS - Wields a flamberge. One-handed.
• Blade Enthusiast- Has twenty four throwing knives as his means of ranged combat, strapped to two belts on his chest.
• The Butcher - Named "Scavenger" after his preference of food: Corpses, especially those whom he killed recently.

• Older Than They Look - Died at the age of 22. Has over seven centuries of existence as a vampire.
• Our Vampires Are Different - They prefer to eat fresh meat out of the corpse rather than suck blood. Have no disadvantages when exposed to the sunlight, garlic doesn't phase him, neither do moving water.
• Power Fist - Has a diamond glove that he uses for the means of defence and counterattacking.
• Scars Are Forever - One going through his eye. He got it when battling Joan of Arc.

Allistair Rasmunsen

Note: Ranked second in Mercenary's Guild, this skeleton is likely to be one of the best snipers in the world, if not the best. Emotionless, stoic and having rather cold attitude to everything sans his teammates(And even then it's very likely), he kills since his death several centuries ago. Responsible for the First World War. Tasked to eliminate Rosarita Cisneros in 1999, which he didn't quite succeeded.

Tropes applying to Allistair:

• Boom, Headshot! - His prefered method of assasination.
• Cold Sniper - Cold as death.
• Cool Shades - Wears a pair. Obviously, he removes them before taking a shot.

• Foil - Can be considered one to Albrecht. While both of them are undeads with centuries of experience, Albrecht went for being a versatile Jack of All Trades and ended up being quite social and funny guy to have around(despite his sociopathic tendencies when on battlefield). Meanwhile, Allistair perfected his skill to almost perfect level, turning into amoral, unsocial killer in return.

• Green-Eyed Monster - Holds a big grudge against those who dare to go even one place ahead of him. He simply doesn't show it.
• Grey-and-Gray Morality - His worldview. It doesn't matter who, it does matter: how much?

• That One Case - The fact that he didn't finish Rosarita off still bothers him.

Murphy Greenblade

Note: Brash, brutal, sociopathic, addicted to drugs and with a serious skin deformation, those words are able to sum up Murphy Greenblade quite easily. Works alongside Allistair, Albrecht and Veronica and although he is often ridiculed by Allistair for his so-called "lack of professionalism"(because screaming at your target when you missed him is apparently a serious insult), he proves to be a dangerous Jack of All Trades.

Tropes applying to Murphy:

• Anti-Hero - Anywhere between Type III and Type V: Is a sociopathic, crazy mercenary with a Hair-Trigger Temper, but genuinely cares for Vera and his friends(accomplices).

• BFG - His custom-made blunderbuss is big.
• Body Horror - Nobody really knows how Murphy got his skin deformation. Exposure to some serious radiation is possible.
• Hair-Trigger Temper - Many things can piss Murphy off. Many.
• Improvised Weapon - Three of his weapons look like they were straight out of junkyard. That being said, all of them are highly dangerous.
• Jack of All Trades - Can fit in all places with his versatile weaponry and ability to construct Improvised Weapons.
• Older Than They Look - By courtesy of Body Horror.
• Papa Wolf - Do so much as lay finger on Veronica and he will have his way with you.
• Walking Armory - Takes of all of his weapons with him which includes two dart guns, one blunderbuss, two to four grenades and a flaming sword.

Veronica Greenblade

Note: A newest member of Allistair, Albrecht and Murphy's mercenary team as well as Murphy's niece, Vera is full of energy and enthusiasm. An expert in usage of nunchuk and skilled in kung-fu, she's a formidable opponent, despite her inexperience and lack of weaponry. Would be voiced by Satsuki Yukino.

Tropes applying to Vera:

• Ambiguously Brown - Her skin is noticeably darker than her friends.
• Badass Normal - Probably the most normal around.

• Fragile Speedster - One of the fastest and most agile characters in the roster, but relies on multiple attacks and ability to not get hit at all.
• Friend to All Living Things - Animals seem to love her.
• Kick Chick - Uses nunchuk only when she needs to.
• Technical Pacifist - While she doesn't like killing and prefers to avoid doing so, she still has no qualms about beating someone senseless.

Sonia Flayer

Note: Full name Sonia Heather Richardson-Flayer, this strange girl was rather unfortunate. After getting captured by Nazis, she became Ezekiel Goldbaum's guinea pig for his experiments alongside her comrades. Enduring two years of suffering and blinding pain gave her super efficient body and an ability to control things with her minds. She decided to put her newly-acquired powers to a good use and mutilated Goldbaum for everything he'd done to her. After that, she hid in the mountains for a long time and finally returned, wanted to understand the world she's in better. She is picked up by Midnight as his personal servant for the time of Last War, but, thanks to Albrecht, C.Viper and Veronica's Soul's influence, she gets better. Would be voiced by Chiaki Takahashi.

Tropes applying to Sonia:

• Braids of Action - Belt-length braid.
• Creepy Blue Eyes - As a result of experiments.
• Dark and Troubled Past - Hoo boy. Rivals Porcupine in terms of this.
• Dual Wielding - More like quad wielding.
• Guns Akimbo - Uses Luger and Ultimate 500.
• Implacable Man - One of the most dangerous opponents around that will not stop until you're dead or about to die. She can destroy Landkreuzer, for God's sake!

• Lipstick Lesbian - Averted on the "lipstick" part in that while she does fit the place in terms of character, she doesn't dress "girly" enough. Currently in relationship with Veronica.
• Mind over Matter - Probably the biggest reason to fear her.
• Older Than They Look - As of 2010, she would have well over 85 years. Looks like eighteen. That's Goldbaum's experiments for you.

• Sharp Dressed Woman- Wears an old-fashioned crimson red suit.
• Sword and Gun - Four swords and two guns to crank it up. Again, telekinesis allows you to be wacky.

Himler Gunsche

Note: The former SS-man who was recruited by Lucifer(when his avatar was still ruling the Purgatory) as one of many talented officers. However, it was Alastor who saw his true potential and made him his First General. Despite what his past may implicate, he's actually a decent guy who is ashamed of his deeds as a nazi. Commands Damonisch SS, a formation modeled after real-life SS, but with some extra firepower - Demonic energy tends to work wonders on some previously unuseable machines. Would be voiced by Daisuke Namikawa.

Tropes applying to Himler:

• The Atoner - Of his past as a SS-man.
• Even Evil Has Standards - He's so disgusted by Operation Genesis that he decides to ally with Gabriel and help each other out. He also dislikes Midnight and his hijinks.

• Never Hurt an Innocent - One of his biggest switches. The moment he finds out the offender, offender in question is kicked out of the Damonisch SS this instant.

• Punch-Clock Villain - He'd rather get along with Heavens, but alas, his boss says otherwise.
• Rank Scales with Asskicking - Subverted, as while he's a dangerous opponent even on his own, he relies more on his reinforcements than on himself.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork - With Midnight. Those two really don't like each other.
• Those Wacky Nazis - He used to be one.
• Wicked Cultured - Enjoys playing violin in his free time.
• Workaholic - Has noticeably more work to do than other Generals, usually on his own request.

Ezekiel Goldbaum

Note: Of the Jewish origin, a scientist that was willing to work with Nazi scientists. Especially obsessed with the idea of Übermensch, he went to great lengths to create a perfect aryan superhuman. The experiment went a little bit too far. Dead Goldbaum was found by Himler and made his second-in-command. He's responsible for providing extra muscle for Damonisch SS as well as creating some extra soldiers in a hour of need.

Tropes applying to Goldbaum:

• The Dragon - To Himler.

• Good Guns, Bad Guns - Uses a Desert Eagle as his weapon of choice.
• Hook Hand - Replacing his right hand.
• Improbable Aiming Skills - An exceptional marksman. And he does it with Desert Eagle of all handguns.

• Mad Doctor - Before his death.
• Malevolent Masked Men - Wears a heavy gasmask made of lead covering all of his face.
• The Quiet One - Doesn't speak much, mainly because he doesn't know English.

• X-Ray Vision - He has an ability to see his opponent's entire skeleton which allows him to strike with frightening accuracy and relentlessness. In case his opponent doesn't have one, Ezekiel will see him/her normally.

Melchior "Midnight" Herald

Note: A mysterious being from another world, he became one of the biggest threats for this world after acquiring powers of The Ark. Known for his expert usage of Mind Rape, calm demeanor and lack of any possible morals. Has a position of Second General of Alastor, though he's not really commanding anything sans his own servants. The one truly responsible for Eleventh of September. Later on becomes a part of Big Bad Ensemble and almost brings the true End of the World as We Know It. Would be voiced by Jun'ichi Suwabe and Crispin Freeman.

Tropes applying to Midnight:

• Beneath the Mask - He lost a good chunk of his face at price of aquiring the power of The Ark. Since The Ark was destroyed by Night Shooter, Angels of Death was in need of some vessel to further exist and since he was the only one available at the moment... The Abyss itself enveloped Midnight in pitch black skin to cover his disfigurement.
• Beyond the Impossible - Was placed in The Abyss, a giant graveyard for everything that could possibly breathe and exist in this world. He simply left it after one year of existing there. Both angels and demons with an exception of Samael state this is literally impossible to do.
• Card-Carrying Villain - Is as Obviously Evil as you can possibly get from liliputian(1.09 meters, the shortest character in the whole stable) being from another world.
• The Chessmaster - Used to be a decent planner even before aquiring Angels of Death for his own disposal. After spending one year in the Abyss, he now has mind control techniques to further his potential.
• Dark Is Evil - He's pitchblack save for his snowwhite eyes, uses mind control and the angels he controls are Angels of Death. Can't get any more obviously dark than that.
• I'm Melting! - Is at disposal of Twenty Angels of Death though one of them is taken away from him who tend to kill off their unfortunate victim rather messily via facemelting. Just ask Arnold Toht.
• Killer Rabbit - Hilariously(Or disturbingly, take your poison) enough, possibly the most dangerous being in Purgatory sans Alastor himself takes a form that seem to resemble some kind of a creature from Sonic universe. He manages to slightly subvert this though, as he isn't exactly cute with his Prophet Eyes and pitch black robe. He later changes his form into more humane.

• Nietzsche Wannabe - Apparently, his imprisonment in the Abyss, messed up with his mind to the point he at times wishes for the entire world to turn Abyss. Quite literally so.

• Only Known by Their Nickname - Very few beings in the world know about Midnight's name. He doesn't seem to particularly care for his existence pre-Ark.

• Rank Scales with Asskicking- His title as Second General of Alastor isn't only for show, y'know. He actually outmatches Alastor himself in certain abilities.
• The Stoic - Is described by some as virtually impossible to anger.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork - With Himler. Those two really don't like each other.

Forcas

Note: An ancient demon hailing from Goetia who served as an advisor to Lucifer when he was still in charge of the Purgatory. Made Third General of Alastor, though he doesn't seem to care that much. Is in command of bulk of demonic armies, called also "Purgatory Hordes". He still doesn't care and would prefer to be alone so he can continue his work. Would be voiced by Shin-ichiro Miki.

Tropes applying to Forcas:

• Anti-Villain - Aside from his Mad Doctor tendencies in alchemy and when messing with genetics, he's perfectly sane and reasonable fellow.
• Brilliant, but Lazy - The biggest offender of this roster. His magical skill is comparable to this of Samael and could easily be bigger should he decide to actually do something about it. Instead, he decided to work on his alchemy skills for science.
• Deadly Upgrade - Most of his beverages tend to revolve around this. They are some serious upgrades though, but since only a few demons are insane enough to use them repeatedly...
• Heavy Sleeper - Is prone to fall asleep on Generals's meetings on regular basis. Himler isn't amused by it.
• Immortality - Of specific Made of Diamond variety: He's constantly surrounded by small, person-size magic shield which happens to be just about unbreakable. In case it does break, it teleports him to safety and reassembles itself. Unless you brought some God-power cannon which can one-shot him, he can effectively stay alive for the eternity.
• Punch-Clock Villain - Even more so than Himler.
• Zerg Rush - When he happens to command an army, he usually allows them to go freely to whatever they please. Given their numbers, it sometimes works.

Jarema Wiśniowiecki

Note: The man who stopped Cossacks's uprising from curbstomping Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth's forces, revived by Ezekiel Goldbaum to serve Alastor as Fourth General... for whatever reason. Brash, abrasive, Hot-Blooded, but also honorable, courageous and full of good intentions. Too bad he got brainwashed into thinking that angels are actually demons and vice versa. He snaps out of it later on though, courtesy of Akrasiel, and repents by pulling a Heroic Sacrifice to break Purgatory Regiment's line in one of the battles. Would be voiced by Tony Oliver.

Tropes applying to Jarema:

• Badass Army - Aside from numerous undead infantrymen, marksmen and some primitive artillery, he has undead hussars at his disposal. And yes, this sounds just about as frightening as you'd expect it to be.
• Brainwashed - Courtesy of Goldbaum. He gets better though.

• Irony - Fights for demons while praising Virgin Mary. Brainwashing tends to do this to you.
• Man of Wealth and Taste - Though he's not entirely evil on his own bidding.
• Rank Scales with Asskicking - Not as dangerous as Midnight, but he still is an excellent swordsman.
• Royals Who Actually Do Something - Charges headlong first into the battle to inspire his soldiers to fight better. They don't seem to care.

Areus Harbinger

Note: An angel from Powers' choir, he was once tasked with a quest of receiving one human into Heaven's service. Unfortunately for him, he fell in love with her which brought him his status of a Fallen Angel and permanent body damage. While now he's redeemed and works now as Team Paradiso's leader, he still is an arrogant prick. This arrogance leads to his downfall which consists of him being turned into Midnight's servant and dying because of that. Would be voiced by Tomokazu Seki.

Tropes applying to Areus:

• Body Horror - As a result of him going ballistic, he suffered "Mene Tekel Fares" torture which involved tearing the whole skin outta him, his eyes pierced with needles and his wings - partially immolated. Doubles as a literal Broken Angel.

• Jerkass - Is an obnoxious jackass to everyone sans his higher-ups and co-workers. Actually, maybe even co-workers.
• Kill It with Ice - He's got ice powers at his disposal, though he's usually too prideful to make use of them early on.
• Knight Templar - Oh God...
• Love Makes You Crazy - Though he had somewhat recovered from the madness, it still bites him.
• Pride - His biggest flaw.

Rudiger "Silber" Ritter

Note: A strange being of an unknown origin, working as a part of Team Paradiso, Heaven's counterpart of Team Inferno. Unwilling to retreat, relentless, apparently unable to express emotion, it slices its way through Heaven's enemies. It apparently has rather strange sense of morality, often picking up targets that are marked as evil only because of his own speculations.

Tropes applying to Ritter:

• Animated Armor - One of possible interpretations as about to who it really is.
• Ascended Demon - Another interpretation.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality - Prone to fall into it. Usually stopped by Natanael or some other reasonable person.

• Hammerspace - It's always carrying a notebook and a pen to communicate with others if necessary... Somehow.
• Immune to Bullets - Completely immune to bullets. People still shoot at him.

• The Speechless - Is incapable of speaking in any way. It writes instead.
• Stone Wall - His wings allow him to shrug off almost any damage at cost of his mobility. Once in the air, he upgrades into Lightning Bruiser.
• Vigilante Man - It used to be one.
• Wouldn't Hurt a Child - Has trouble dealing with seemingly child-like opponents, even if they're the source of all evil. People tend to use it to their advantage.

Natanael Joseph Talon

Note: Previously Nathaniel Joseph Claw, but now is a full-on FC. An angelic being of unknown origin, even weirder appearance(of a humanoid dog in pirate clothing) and ridiculous quirks. That being said, he's easily the most dangerous member of Team Paradiso, as well as being the most forgiving, talkative and easy-going. Despites Areus, but works with him anyways(although the feeling isn't mutual). Would be voiced by Showtaro Morikubo.

Tropes applying to Natanael:

• Guns Akimbo - With two full-auto flintlock pistols no less.
• Knight in Sour Armor - Acknowledges the world as a stinking hellhole, but that does not stop him from trying to do good.

Samael

Note: Sharing a Big Good position with Metatron, this guy is responsible for making Heaven running now that God is just a shadow of His own self. Strange looking, intellectual, always calm and perhaps with a strange sense of humor, he's also a relentless, pragmatic and cynical being. Neverthless, since he doesn't believe his subordinates could handle managing of Heaven, he's still around, also acting as repellent for Alastor. Would be voiced by John Cygan.

Tropes applying to Samael:

• The Archmage - He's said to be the original Angel of Death. His offensive skills in magic are unmatched by everyone in the universe, with possible exceptions of Alastor and Forcas.

• Broken Ace - If not for the Alastor's omnicidal tendencies, he'd likely end his life this instant: To sum it up, his bitterness from his repenting for First Angelic Rebellion, when he, back then with the name of Sa'el alongside Lucifer refused to bow down to the humans still bites him in the ass; then he found out that God is more or less dead, which caused Second Angelic Rebellion, then his own brother, Metatron, turned against him during Third Angelic Rebellion when he refused to support the idea of flooding the whole mankind... Then demons showed up for the first time on Earth...
• Broken Angel - His wings got removed after First Angelic Rebellion.
• Captain Ersatz - His looks are totally ripped from some other Samael.
• Environmental Symbolism - His office is choke full of chains. They seem to represent his inability to fly, which comes from removal of his wings back at times of First Angelic Rebel.
• Human Aliens - Alongside Metatron and God.

• The Stoic - The world has yet to see Samael angry. It won't end pretty should someone angers him though.
• Time Abyss - If Metatron is to be believed. See his entry for more info.

Metatron

Note: The other one in charge except not really since Third Angelic Rebel. The closest this world has in terms of Incorruptible Pure Pureness except maybe for Jesus himself. That being said, while he won't fight on his own, he can still grant his allies a powerful array of heals and shields. Such a shield proved vital in Samael and Alastor's encounter against Tor. After Samael mysteriously disappears, he gives all authority power to Great Council's members and aids them from behind.

Tropes applying to Metatron:

• The Ace - He's good at everything but fighting(although he'd likely put up a good fight if necessary).
• Actual Pacifist - The only thing he does is to buff and heal his allies, but damn, if he isn't good at it.
• All-Powerful Bystander - Since Third Angelic Rebellion.

• Good Is Not Dumb - Metatron can be quite smart when he wants to.
• Human Aliens - Alongside Samael and God.

• Time Abyss - If Metatron is to be believed, he, Samael and God were traveling for tens of millenia before they appeared on Earth... And they were already "adult" when they were leaving too.

Uriel, The Archangel of Flame

Note: Heaven's local One-Man Army in case Team Paradiso screws up badly. Being a complete sociopath at fight and an obnoxious prankster outside of it, he's loathed by both demons and angels alike. He's still respected for his incredible fighting ability, rivaled only by few. Naturally, given his title, he tends to use fire as one of his forte. Killed by Goldbaum in 2090. Would be voiced by Tomokazu Sugita amd Reuben Langdon.

Tropes applying to Uriel:

• Anti-Hero - Slides between types III and V. Means well and is an affable guy outside of battle(disregarding pranks), he sometimes goes a little too off his rocker.

• Fire-Breathing Weapon - Fire breathing shotgun, to be precise. He prefers hand-to-hand combat and creative usage of flints installed in his gloves and heels though.
• Kill It with Fire - Where to start...? He has flints in gloves and heels, so he can simply ignite enemies with enough impact of the attack. There are also numerous bottles of petrol under his leather jacket, multiple matches, some explosives, a little bit of thermite etc.
• Lightning Bruiser - Moves unusually fast, hits like a truck and happens to use that fire of his a little too much.
• Man on Fire - Boy does he loves it! He and his belongings are completely fireproof, so he has no qualms about igniting himself just to make things even worse for his enemy.
• Rank Scales with Asskicking - Is one of the Five Command Archangels (alongside Gabriel, Michael, Rafael and Raziel) and happens to be one of the dangerous residents of Heaven. Actually subverted, as he doesn't have that much of an authority to begin with.
• Red Baron - He's called "Archangel of Flame" for some reason.
• Smoking Is Cool - Constantly smokes Montecristo cigars. Constantly. Sometimes accidentally ignites his covered-in-petrol wings.

Gabriel, The Archangel of Miracles

note: Only second in terms of goodness after Metatron, Gabriel is a laid-back fellow who reasons as the most down-to-earth and most affable out of Archangels. At the time of Last War though he proves that Good Is Not Soft if necessary. Would be voiced by Akira Ishida.

Tropes applying to Gabriel:

• Good Is Not Soft - Stands as a leader of Heaven during the time of The Last War.
• Only Sane Man - Let's see: Uriel is a sociopathic pyromaniac, Michael is a grumpy soldier and no less crazy, Akrasiel speaks with riddles and is wrapped with mysteries and Rafael is a sardonic jackass.

Michael, The Archangel of War

Note: A giant hulk of an angel, towers anyone else in the roster. Also happens to be a leader of Heaven's army. Grumpy, doesn't speak much and generally prefers to do his job instead of gloating. Hates humans and this is the hatred which is the reason Operation Genesis ended up so spectacularly. Midnight uses it later to brainwash him into his servitude. Would be voiced by Joji Nakata.

Tropes applying to Michael:

• BFG - His weapon of choice is a giant scimitar with five spikes on the edge.
• BFS - There's also Vulcan minigun with seven barrels, took from some plane. Its calibre is 20 mm. It doesn't seem to run out of ammo as well.
• Coat Cape - Wears his General jacket like that.
• Large and in Charge - Is a colossal juggernaut, having almost three meters of height. Runner-up Xipanticus has 2.5 meters in comparision. Third Night Shooter has 2.2 meters.
• Razor Wings - Made of metal.
• The Quiet One - Doesn't say much, leaving the talking to others. When he snaps, however, he becomes surprisingly talkative.

Akrasiel, The Archangel of Magic

Note: Soft-spoken, very polite and charming, this little guy is also ruthless, manipulative and cunning enough to anticipate many moves of Alastor's hordes. He can go to great lengths in this one, even if it means sacrificing something or someone in the name of Greater Good. Humans interest him little, although he doesn't exactly dislike them. Would be voiced by Daisuke Ono.

Tropes applying to Akrasiel:

• Anti-Magic - His main shtick(apart from Chronomancy) and the reason why he's so dangerous.

• Red Oni, Blue Oni - Blue Oni to Sigma's Red.
• Sharp-Dressed Man - Always in a black suit with a red tie.
• Shorter Means Smarter - He stands at measly 1.54 meters, but is, without a doubt, the smartest out of Five Archangels.
• Time Master - He's the greatest Chronomancer to exist on Earth and its adjacent planes although he uses it mostly as a last resort.

Rafael, The Archangel of Cures

Note: Grump, sarcastic and sardonic to the bone, Rafael has been broken by First and Second World War when all he could do is to watch in terror as humans slay each other, everything based on Crystal Law. Since that day, he tends to care little about others' feelings, although he still watches over humans. Killed by Goldbaum in 2093.

Tropes applying to Rafael:

• Broken Bird - The fact he was unable to do anything during both World Wars left him as a sardonic, cynical jackass.
• Despair Event Horizon - The aforementioned helplessness during both World Wars.

Kimberly Ironfist

Note: A friend of Casper from times of high school and early adulthood, she's as butch as you can get: Agressive, prone to violence and sometimes very bitchy. There's however a second side of the coin, a shy, insecure girl who hides her weaknesses with agression. That being said, she's a very dangerous opponent who mastered her Super-Strength and Good Old Fisticuffs to near-perfection mark. Would be voiced by Marÿke Hendrikse.

Tropes applying to Kim:

• Bare-Fisted Monk - Uses no weapons and allows her strength and technique to do the talking.
• Embarrassing Middle Name - Kimblery Rebecca Lily Marion Ironfist. Never call her by her full name.

• Made of Iron - Can take many seemingly mortal wounds with ease and keep on fighting.
• Tomboy - Is not very girly.

Marcus Aftermath

Note: The Decoy Protagonist, he possesses most qualities of a hero: Powerful with his Elemental Powers and katana mastery, reasonable, fairly intelligent and handsome. And yet, he is often ridiculed by Casper for numerous reasons, ranging from his short height(which actually isn't all that short), large ears and cases of complete obliviousness to his surroundings, which almost cost two lives. Later on gets married with Kate and has two kids from it. Would be voiced by Jun Fukuyama.

Tropes applying to Marcus:

• Decoy Protagonist - Possesses all qualities The Hero should have... Then, Casper gets his face melted and he sort of disappears.
• Elemental Powers - Of all four elements, combined into something named "Tetra".
• Katanas Are Just Better - Uses one as his weapon.

• Wide-Eyed Idealist - Which gets used against him more than once.

Kathleen Windsdaughter

Note: Silk Hiding Steel at its best, although with a touch of wittiness and irony, Kate is a gifted healer, able to cure the heaviest of wounds in mere minutes, going even as far as to revive the fallen ones. To protect herself, she uses a power given to all members of her family, control over wind. Later gets married with Marcus and has two kids from it. Would be voiced by Yui Horie.

Tropes applying to Kate:

• Back from the Dead - She can pull this off although it's a very risky maneuverer, as it not only attracts Necromancer.
• Blow You Away - Par course of being a Windsdaughter.

• Healing Hands - She tries her best to avoid attracting Necromancer's attention, so she restricts the usage of her healing ability to absolutely necessary moments.

Michael Rattenberger

Note: Not really aware of his surroundings, obnoxious, cowardly and with a weird taste of fashion, Rattenberger is a resident Death Dealer who's able to summon reinforcements from a mere deck of cards. While he usually runs from the danger first, he shouldn't be underestimated as his Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass aura can kick in when his or his friends' lives are threatened. Oh, and he's not short. Would be voiced by Daisuke Hirakawa.

Tropes applying to Rattenberger:

• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass - May look like a bumbling idiot, but pushed enough can easily hold his own alone.
• The Hyena - Once he starts laughing, you will beg he'll stop soon.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold - Can be a total dick sometimes, but deep down cares down for his friends and values.

• The Napoleon - Minus "agressive" part, he doesn't like being short.

• Revolvers Are Just Better - Uses Colt Anaconda.
• Sharp-Dressed Man - If you're willing to accept his garishly green suit, that is.
• Summon Magic - That's what his cards do.

Daeva of Spira, "The Spellspinner"

Note: An extremely powerful and ancient demon from times before The Catastrophe, Daeva was bind to every Stratoavis that existed with two exceptions of Fergard Stratoavis the Fifth and Szabla Stratoavis. With a twisted sense of humor and large enthusiasm to cause some ruckus, he's also a wise and reasonable guy. Is able to sustain Casper's soul after he got hit with Angels of Death and do so for a long time, as well as supporting him with a vast array of powers.

Tropes applying to Daeva:

• Our Demons Are Different - He's an Old Demon from before The Catastrophe, able to control Chaos Magic with ease. Might be only slightly younger than Dark Reaper.
• Perpetual Smiler - Disturbingly so.

Xipanticus

Note: While not as powerful or as ancient as Daeva, Xipanticus is still an enemy one shouldn't underestimate under any circumstances. This demon is a mindless, monstrous and enormous pile of meat, designed only to turn every battlefield and every opponent(or even ally) on it into mince meat. After Casper got hit with Angels of Death, he's able to leave at Casper's will and fight by his side, although he listens to his "owner".

Tropes applying to Xipanticus:

• The Grotesque - Looks like a horrible amalgamation of gorilla, crocodile, porcupine and bear.
• Nature Spirit - Implied to be a demon directly related to nature.
• Our Demons Are Different - Is also an Old Demon which speaks volumes about diversity of those.
• Unstoppable Rage - His default setting.

Logan

Note: One of the youngest "old demons", Logan is a mercenary with swift moves and quick, fatal wakizashi slashes. Regards the world as a boring place and usually pays little to no attention to other people's lives. Actually, pays little to no attention to many things. However, there's still a heart of gold under that carapace which ultimately puts her on the side of good guys at times of Last War. Would be voiced by Ayako Kawasumi and Amanda Winn-Lee.

Tropes applying to Logan:

• Horned Humanoid - Has small ivory horns.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold - Usually pays little to absolutely no attention to people around her unless she's paid for it. In those rare times, however...
• Katanas Are Just Better - Has a wakizashi which she uses with almost flawless efficiency.
• Shotguns Are Just Better - Uses two Rangers.
• Statuesque Stunner - Stands at 1.85 meters, being the tallest woman in the roster.

Crimson Viper

Note: Not that Crimson Viper. A helicopter pilot, shot down by Komato and mysteriously ressurrected with much bigger amount of persistence, cynism and insanity. Regards the world as a big fun(and by "fun" he means screams of burned enemies or blowing up stuff in general), although is a Nice Guy at "heart"(even if a sociopathic and crazy one).

Tropes applying to C.Viper:

• Ace Custom - His Black Helicopter.
• Ace Pilot - Of Steamroller variety. Justified in that he uses helicopter instead of jet fighter which trades maneuverability for firepower.
• Cool Helmet - Complete with Cool Shades.

• Hidden Sockets - Courtesy of him wearing his Cool Shades all the time. Nobody has seen C.Viper without his helmet and nobody knows what his "eye" color is... If there is any.
• Laughing Mad - Prone to this.

Max Luck

Note: Punny Name aside, you can't kill this guy. It seems there's a ridiculous amount of luck this guy has. That being said, the man himself lacks common sense by an order of magnitude and had managed to earn his place in Top 50 Mercenaries only on a behalf of being Fearless Fool.

Tropes applying to Max:

• Badass Normal - Disregarding his luck.
• Born Lucky - This man survives things that would kill people infinitely more skilled than him only because Fate apparently likes him that much.
• Genius Bruiser - Surprisingly, he's quite intelligent.
• Multi-Ranged Master - Can operate every modern gun imaginable, from assault rifles to sniper rifles, with ease.
• Too Dumb to Live - Frequently. He once broke N.Shooter's shotgun and survived only because Logan appeared to save the day.
• Violation of Common Sense - All over the place.

Dark Reaper, "The Cause of Evil"

Note: Perhaps the oldest and the most powerful thing on Earth that was already old and powerful when God made his entrance. The creator of "Old Demons", used to be a serious rival to Lucifer(and later, Alastor), but decided to fall back into his domain for unknown reasons. N.Shooter describes him as a "hammy and cheerful guy", but, given that it was N.Shooter who made this statement, nobody really knows...

Tropes applying to Dark Reaper:

• Affably Evil - If N.Shooter is anything to go by.

• As Long as There Is Evil - Dark Reaper is satiated by evil deeds of all kinds. Since sentient races are more than prone to those, he can just sit and enjoy himself.
• Diabolus ex Machina - He's the one responsible for warping Lucifer into bad guy and Hell into hellhole.
• For the Evulz - Considering he satiates himself with evil, it makes sense.

• Time Abyss - Old and powerful in comparison to God, Samael and Metatron who themselves are also Time Abysses.

Sigma

Note: The first(and, as later estabilished, only) member of Angelian Air Force, this girl is devoted to ideals of Heaven and Akrasiel, being his top enforcer. An elite warrior, a bit of a witty pottymouth, despites Areus. As it turned out, shutting down The Gates of Heaven with her outside left her a bit scarred and bitter, although she got better later on.

Tropes applying to Sigma:

• Blade Below the Shoulder - Doubles as Dual Wielding.
• Cool Shades - Orange ones.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni - Red Oni to Akrasiel' Blue.
• Shoulder Cannon - Two actually: Miniature rocket launcher and a machine gun.
• Spy Catsuit - A white one.

Necromancer

Note: A golem made by an anonymous scientist and one of the greatest inventions of biotechnology. Originally was intended to get rid of paranoid scientist's colleagues, but because of his death before inserting correct instructions, Necromancer now wanders around the globe, looking for those who violate "The Equilibrium". Impossible to stop, destroy and often even scratch, it just plunders through enemy's lines, usually paying them no mind.

Tropes applying to Necromancer:

• The Dreaded - A mere mention of him is enough to send many people running in sheer terror.
• Implacable Man - Even if you'll be able to do sufficient damage to stop him, he will just shift into standby mode and slowly regain all of his strength.

• Perpetual-Motion Monster - Not really. He requires to recharge every once in a while and does so via Vampiric Draining, usually on some poor animal.
• Unstable Equilibrium - That's what he tries to stop and seeks people violating this rule. Violations that count are Chronomancy, raising people back from dead(but not necromancy), Reality Warper actions and so on.

YMIR

Note: Not to be confused with other YMIR robot. Apparently, the very same scientist who did Necromancer was attempting to create a mass-produced biomechanical soldier before. Quite unfortunately, the biological part was the head which, through series of events, gave the machine a free will. Because of that, YMIR is the only one of his "kind" and was shut down for a long time before finally returning to this world. Cautious, cold and always calculating risks and rewards.

Tropes applying to YMIR:

• Deadpan Snarker - At times.

• Swiss-Army Weapon - His multi-purpose rifle has several modes which he can change, according to circumstances.

Fergard Stratoavis The Fifth

Note: An uncle of Casper. A Fallen Hero who succumbed to Creatures of Abyss' influence, abbandoned Daeva and Xipanticus to turn into bloodthirsty laughing wreck of a man. Killed by Casper and put under series of purging rituals that allowed him to regain his peace of mind in death. Would be voiced by Mamoru Miyano.

Tropes applying to Fergard:

• Badass Longcoat - Casper dons it later on.

• Guns Akimbo - Dons customized four-barreled Vis Pistols first before ditching them in favor of 1887 Models.

• Terror Hero - Extreme case of Type V. It eventually got out of hand.

Szabla Stratoavis

Note: A legendary Stratoavis, known for his mastery in swordfighting and spellcasting alike, earning him a title of "Magic Knight". Not much is known about his past or how the hell did he get his blue skin, but just mentioning the name was enough to send most warriors panicking. Not much is known about his "death" either. Some even speculate he's not dead and just watches the world changing from afar. He refused both Daeva and Xipanticus which made him the first Stratoavis to do so.

Tropes applying to Szabla:

• Amazing Technicolor Population - He's blue, for crying out loud!
• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy - He gets better though.
• BFS - His weapon of choice is an obsidian zweihander.
• Black Knight - At least in the armor of choice... Not so much in his attitude.

• Blown Across the Room - His "Force Push" technique.
• Combat Pragmatist - Quoting the man himself, "guys in shiny armors die first". Conversely, his armor is black.
• Dynamic Entry - His "Battle Charge" technique.
• Flash Step - His "Killer Rush" technique.
• Magic Knight - It's even his title.
• Powerful Pick - His secondary weapon, pickax embedded with a power of electricity, able to shock the stabbed.
• Shock and Awe - His magic of choice.
• They Call Him "Sword" - "Szabla" is a Polish word for saber.

Alastor

Note: Resident Big Bad who reigned over Purgatory after the death of Avatar of Lucifer. While not as bloodthirsty or direct as his predecessor, he's still a bad guy who won't hesitate to attack. Later on he starts losing his patience and sanity which ends up in Operation Genesis which almost succeeds in overtaking Heaven and destroying it, but instead lays waste to Earth. After his "inprisonment", he comes back as Lucifer's right hand. Would be voiced by Jim Cummings.

Tropes applying to Alastor:

• Bald of Evil - Hilariously used by Heavens as propaganda against him.
• Big Bad - During his reign as Undisputed Sovereign of Purgatory. He's The Dragon during The Last War.

• Really 700 Years Old - Has been created by Lucifer not long after his fall which makes him quite old.
• Scary Impractical Armor - Dons it when necessary.

Lucifer

Note: The guy who basically started it all. Once a proud and most trusted Seraph of God, he lost First Angelic Rebellion and was thrown couple of levels down alongside his fallen brethren where he created Hell. However, something went wrong and Hell became a hellhole (Dark Reaper was quite possibly involved). He was reigning over Purgatory for a long time as well, only to have his avatar killed in unknown circumstances. Returns on Earth and back to power just in time for The Last War.

Tropes applying to Lucifer:

• Bishōnen Line - His Avatar was a giant demon thing with a BFS. His original form is based on The Divine Comedy... Then he comes back to Earth during The Last War and looks just like he did before his fall.
• Fallen Angel - Well, duh.
• Power of Creation - He was one of the few Angels to be granted with almost unlimited, God-like power. Came in handy when creating Hell and the whole species of Luciferian Demons.
• Pride - His fatal flaw and the one which started it all.

Raguel

Note: Twentieth Angel of Death and Casper's companion until his real death at the times of The Last War. Witty, sarcastic and often ridiculed by her choice of appearance which is little, 14-year-old girl, she's still a caring and gentle soul. Hardens noticeably after Uriel's death. One of the few souls in the world able to use Wild Bunch. Would be voiced by Aya Hirano and Cristina Vee.

Tropes applying to Raguel:

• Guns Akimbo - Uses two Buntline Specials.
• More Dakka - Wild Bunch in a nutshell.
• Nightmare Face - Is able to change between her normal form and "Angel of Death" form. Complete with I'm Melting!.

Lilith

Note: The First Wife of Adam, Lilith's one of the oldest luciferian demons, if not the oldest and a Mistress of all Succubi and Incubi. Playful, upbeat, spunky, sultry and very passionate, lacks any form of care for human beings and treats them as mere toys although they were cases of her getting attached to certain beings. After Avatar of Lucifer's death and Alastor's faked death, she attempts to take control over Purgatory, but is quickly stopped by returning Alastor and his First General, Himler Gunsche. For a long time was hiding in a mind of an unknown girl, was took out of there by Midnight and made his servant, although the process reduced her intelligence to a dog level. She got better and is very pissed at Midnight, taking his place as Second General.

Abyss

Note: What was thought to be a giant graveyard for forsaken souls turned out to be an ancient entity, probably as old or slightly younger than Dark Reaper. It's a collective mind for all Creatures of Abyss which finds the world repulsive and wants to get rid of it by expanding her(Abyss is usually noted as "she") influence over the whole world mankind knows, but was too weak for a long time to succeed. However, since the day Midnight was cut off Alastor's influence, Abyss grew stronger with her herald and was able to send more of her "children" to the world. By the time of Last War, Abyss is ready to unleash all of her forces at mortals, angels and demons...
