After War Gundam X/Characters

The following are the characters of After War Gundam X and the tropes they embody.

Garrod Ran


 * Accidental Pervert: He's watching over Tiffa during the Dolphins arc. Then, unaware of his presence, she strips naked and goes skinny-dipping with the 'phins. Whoops? (She doesn't catch him, though.)
 * Badass Normal
 * Character Development: He has to learn to be less reckless and interact better with others as time passes.
 * Dogged Nice Guy: A little, towards Tiffa.
 * Expy: He and Judau Ashta have a fair bit in common.
 * Falling Into the Cockpit
 * Green Eyes
 * Hot-Blooded
 * Idiot Hero: He starts out as this, but drops it more and more as the series progresses.
 * Kidanova: Both Tiffa and Ennil have feelings for him. Some fans would add Pala as well.
 * Kid Hero
 * Loners Are Freaks: His inability to connect adequately with people causes him quite the trouble at first;
 * Lovable Rogue
 * The Messiah

Tiffa Adill

 * Character Development: Similarly to Garrod, Tiffa has to gradually learn that she can't be alone all the time.
 * Expository Hairstyle Change: Tiffa temporarily lets her Rapunzel Hair down and loose
 * Fainting Seer She can see the future. And almost anything she sees is, well, not pleasing. After, she has an epic Heroic BSOD; Jamil explains to Garrod that this happened because she, among other things, can sense the pain and death of people in the battlefield. OUCH.
 * Friend to All Living Things and Innocent Fanservice Girl: Newtype dolphins ring a bell?
 * Ill Girl: Played with. Though Tiffa's a bit delicate, the one time she was seriously about to die happened.
 * Hime Cut
 * Letting Her Hair Down: Only once, though:
 * The Messiah
 * Mika Kanai
 * Playing Against Type: She normally plays Genki Girl characters. Meaning, she would've normally played Pala or maybe even Toniya here...

 * Broken Bird: As an adult, and one of the rare male examples.

 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Kenyuu Horiuchi aka "Mashmyer Cello"
 * Hotblooded Sideburns: He had those even as a kid!

 * Ladykiller in Love: He eventually gets hit with this.
 * The Lancer: To Garrod, in battle.
 * Lightning Bruiser: The Leopard is very fast, and very heavily armed/armoured. What stops it from reaching Game Breaker status is that it cannot fly.
 * More Dakka: With built in gatling guns, grenade launchers and missiles, Roy's Leopard is set to do some damage.
 * Macross Missile Massacre: Why settle for bullets, when you can also unload every conveivable missile type on the planet.
 * Second Love: With/to

 * Expy: Blue machine? Bonds with a protagonist over drinks? Connections to the Space Colonies due to her father being a high-ranking war hero? Ennil is either this series's equivalent to Ramba Ral or her Disappeared Dad Nada El was this series's equivalent to Ramba Ral.
 * Femme Fatale
 * If It's You It's Okay: Despite her outward appearance, is very selective of her sexual interests. Had a genuine sexual interest in Garrod, and due to his hideously awful trust issues, he pulled a gun on her instead. Took her quite awhile to get over that.)

Lucille Lilliant
 * Alliterative Name
 * Barrier Maiden
 * Cool Big Sis: To
 * Fan Disservice: She's seen naked  While Lucille's extremely beautiful and we don't see stuff usually related to Fan Disservice (fluids, blood, Guro, etc.), it's not fanservicy because.

 * Hime Cut
 * Rapunzel Hair
 * Hair of Gold: Was a beautiful blonde woman.
 * Hime Cut

Lancerow Dawell


 * The Ace
 * Anti-Villain
 * Badass
 * Badass Long Hair: Check out that ponytail.
 * Bishonen: A less extreme case than many on the show.
 * Char Clone: Averted. He's got a lot in common with MSG Char, but lacks the blond hair, sunglasses/mask, and jackassery associated with most of them.

Major Nomoa Long

 * Evilutionary Biologist
 * For Science!
 * High-Class Glass
 * Lack of Empathy
 * Mad Scientist: He's the one behind the Cyber Newtype project in this universe, making Carris what the is today.
 * Majorly Awesome: Averted hard.
 * The Man Behind the Man: To Carris.
 * Manipulative Bastard: Preys on Carris' hopes of saving the world in order to get him to do what he wants.
 * Officer and a Gentleman: Subverted. Nomoa has the rank and the look one associates with this (complete with High-Class Glass), but is one of the most flat out evil characters in the show.
 * Revenge: Seeks vengeance on for abandoning him and ignoring his research.
 * Smug Snake: As standard for Gundam's evil scientists.

Shagia Frost


 * Badass Longcoat
 * Beta Test Baddie: He's a Category F Newtype and resents everyone with greater talents and stronger Psychic Powers.
 * Big Bad: Takes on this role by the end. At times he and Olba seem to be a Big Bad Duumvirate, although Shagia is undoubtedly the senior partner.
 * Bishonen
 * Blue Eyes
 * The Chessmaster
 * Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Probably the biggest example in the whole Gundam franchise, which is saying a lot.
 * Combination Attack: He and Olba do this frequently.
 * Even Evil Has Loved Ones: His love for his brother is one of his few humanising traits.
 * Final Solution: All Newtypes must die.
 * Freudian Excuse The reason why he and Olba wanted to start a war that would kill everybody? They're mad at the world for being considered worthless failures, as they were born as Category Fs and not "proper" Newtypes. This leads them to despise the very concept of Newtypes as inherently superior humans.
 * I Just Want to Be Special: A part of his Freudian Excuse.
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Kills the only two people who really wanted a war.
 * Nietzsche Wannabe
 * Psychic Link: With Olba.
 * Twin Telepathy
 * The Resenter: Towards Newtypes and all those who support them.
 * Sibling Team
 * Siblings in Crime
 * Smug Snake: Whether Shagia is one of these, or a genuine Magnificent Bastard is a matter of some contention among the fanbase.
 * The Starscream
 * Teens Are Monsters: He's 19.
 * Those Two Bad Guys: Initially this is how he and Olba come off. They're actually far more dangerous than that.
 * Toshiyuki Morikawa
 * Villainous Breakdown: AND HOW!
 * War for Fun and Profit: Shagia sees the war as a way to quietly exterminate all Newtypes and those who believe in them, making himself and Olba look better in comparison.

Olba Frost


 * Ax Crazy
 * Beta Test Baddie: He and Shagia feel that the existence of Newtypes has led to their own talents being overlooked.
 * Big Brother Instinct: Inverted: he's the younger one.
 * Nozomu Sasaki (Olba's seiyuu) even got sick of saying the phrase "nii-san" (big brother) when the series finally ended.
 * Bishonen
 * Blue Eyes
 * Combination Attack: Often.
 * The Dragon: To Shagia; at times they're closer to a Big Bad Duumvirate, though with Olba as the junior partner.
 * Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Shagia is probably the only person on earth that Olba gives a damn out.
 * Final Solution: Like Shagia, Olba wants a Newtype genocide.
 * Freudian Excuse
 * I Just Want to Be Special
 * Nietzsche Wannabe
 * Psychic Link: With Shagia
 * Twin Telepathy
 * Psycho Supporter: Of his brother. In addition to being an Axe Crazy Nietzsche Wannabe, Olba's brother complex is so strong that he more or less subordinates his entire identity towards making his brother's dreams become a reality.
 * The Resenter: Of Newtypes, their fans, and the rest of the world.
 * Sibling Team
 * Siblings in Crime
 * Smug Snake
 * Teens Are Monsters: Also 19.
 * Those Two Bad Guys: Initially this is how he and Shagia come off. They're actually far more dangerous than that.
 * Undying Loyalty: To his older brother.
 * War for Fun and Profit
 * "Well Done, Son" Guy: Really, really wants to have his beloved older brother's approval.
 * Yandere (disambiguation): Apparently, one of the rare male examples. Could be a case of Never Live It Down, though.
