Solatorobo/Characters

The characters of Solatorobo. Beware of spoilers, especially in the "Other Important Characters" folder.

Red Savarin
The upbeat, determined hero of the game. Red is a Hunter, which is ostensibly short for "bounty hunter" but probably better described as "the guy who does odd jobs". His robo, DAHAK, is the main source of income for both himself and his adopted little sister, Chocolat. Has a tendency to say things that get him in trouble or accidentally offend others, but he's a good guy at heart.


 * Actor Allusion: Before Red (voiced by Tetsuya Kakihara) competes in the final round of the Duel Ship Rookie Tournament, he tells the receptionist "I'm fired up!".
 * Adventurer Outfit
 * Armor-Piercing Slap: Ends up on the receiving end of these from Elh twice. Once after a Shower of Awkward, and once in the Prairie Kingdom Cup DLC quest.
 * Attack! Attack! Attack!: Depending on how you play, Red can certainly be this (and it's probably pretty close to his official characterization).
 * Badass
 * Badass Adorable: Alman and even Opéra both refer to him as "dumpling" on occasion.
 * Badass Long Hair
 * Slipknot Ponytail: Red's Trance.
 * Belligerent Sexual Tension: At some points with Elh. Usually they're good about working together without problems, but if he does something particularly stupid he'll certainly hear about it.
 * BFS: Red's Stun Gun has a really big bayonet that's longer than the gun itself and taller than he is, and yet he only uses it as a stun gun outside his robot.
 * : When the Order is given.
 * Brother-Sister Team: With Chocolat, before Elh shows up.
 * Catch Phrase: "When I get down to work, there's just no stopping me!"
 * Color Character: Red Savarin. In case you can't tell, he's the Hot-Blooded hero in the red Adventurer Outfit.
 * Colourful Theme Naming
 * Conscience Makes You Go Back: When Elh is captured by the Kurvaz after, Red seriously considers leaving and declaring the whole issue Someone Elses Problem. Chocolat agrees with him initially, but it's all a ploy to get him to realize that they should turn around and go rescue Elh.
 * Determinator: A recurring characteristic of Red's is his willingness to see things through to the end, no matter what.
 * Eleventh-Hour Superpower: Twice:
 * Red's Trance, the first time he uses it.
 * Eyes of Gold: During his Trance.
 * Fan Service: His Trance again. There's no real reason for him to lose his shirt like that...
 * Female Feline, Male Mutt: Plays it straight, being a rather macho dog.
 * Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The foolish one with Chocolat keeping him in line.
 * Funetik Aksent: Red's got this habit of speakin' with the Gs missin' off the ends of his words. It seems to serve no purpose other than to give him a unique way of speakin' (and possibly makin' him look a little bit denser).
 * Furry Reminder: Red spends a great deal of time chewing on a Stock Femur Bone, and a comic shows him chasing a disc when Elh throws it.
 * Goggles Do Nothing: He has goggles and might could use them, but is never seen actually wearing them.
 * Goofy Print Underwear: Red is embarrassed that Chocolat is showing off the Asmodeus while his boxers are hanging out in a 4koma comic.
 * Happily Adopted: Brother-sister example in Red and Chocolat. Considering she's only 13, he may actually have legal custody of her, despite the fact that she deals with day-to-day issues like money much better than he does.
 * Heartwarming Orphan: Red and Chocolat are what happens when Heartwarming Orphans grow up and adopt each other.
 * : Red's Trance.
 * Heroic BSOD: After . Chocolat snaps him out of it by dragging him to Basset to play with the orphans and remind him that he's still the same good person she grew up with.
 * Honor Before Reason: Red usually acts before he thinks.
 * Hot-Blooded: Elh outright calls Red 'hot-headed' during the post credits sequence. He only solves one of the three riddles for the, settling the first two with violence. Frequently charges in without thinking, and says some pretty cheesy things with a straight face.
 * Idiot Hero: Red, if you didn't notice before.
 * I Gave My Word: For all his hot-headed foolishness, Red does deliver on his promises.
 * Innocently Insensitive: Red, to go along with his other idiocies. Chocolat and Elh get on to him for it, claiming he doesn't understand girls' feelings and is "an idiot with a bad mouth", respectively.
 * Interspecies Romance: Teased with Elh.
 * It Amused Me:
 * Red's reason for wanting to force Elh to "get all embarrassed"!
 * He also seems to quite enjoy dragging poor Elh back to Vizsla with all the bugs. Considering he grew up constantly teasing his sister, that's probably how he shows affection.
 * I Was Just Passing Through: In the, Chocolat asks Red if he misses Elh. His emphatic response is that no, he just misses the billion rings' worth of work he was promised! Of course no one actually buys it, but Chocolat drops the subject pretty quick anyway.
 * Innocent Blue Eyes: Director Frasier from the orphanage in Basset comments how Red's eyes tell her he's a good person.
 * Kleptomaniac Hero: Red barges into people's houses and opens their chests, taking whatever happens to be inside. Including at the orphanage.
 * Kleptomaniac Hero, Found Underwear: Searching Vanille's bed in her house will result in Red finding some underwear. Chocolat scolds him not to stare.
 * Laser-Guided Amnesia: The reason Red can't remember anything before age nine is
 * Master of Unlocking: Red manages to pick a lock using a wire (yes, just a wire) when captured by Gren in Shetland.
 * Meaningful Name:
 * Red just like red the color, which in Yin-Yang symbolizes the absence of both.
 * Red's mecha is named after Azi Dakaha, a Sumerian demon.
 * Men Don't Cry: Red seems to hold this view, as after saving Elh from some bugs and getting told to stay away, he teasingly asks "Eyes red from crying?" Red himself also lacks any sort of crying sprite.
 * Mini-Mecha: Pilots one.
 * Named Weapons: Named DAHAK-AZ103.
 * Moment Killer: To Dade and Vanille.
 * Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: When Red tries to stop a gang of sky pirates stealing a warehouse in a sidequest (not the cargo of a warehouse but literally the entire building), he completely forgets that destroying the air ship using explosives would be counter productive.
 * : Inverted with Red, before his battle with Bruno.
 * Oral Fixation Fixation: Red is always holding a bone between his teeth.
 * Pride: After the second credits, Elh claims that Red has a huge ego and refuses to tell him how important their adventures together have been to avoid it getting any bigger.
 * Protectorate: The key to Red's ability to Trance lies with his desire to protect someone or something at all costs and being unable to do it normally.
 * Rescue Romance: Double Subverted. Red saved an unconscious Elh from the Hindenburg, but their Ship Tease doesn't pick up until quite a bit later and that rescue was never mentioned.
 * The Reveal:
 * Secular Hero: While the Shephard Republic is home to both the Anju and Oshilasama religions, and Elh even mentions following something similar, as Oshilasama teaches how to control the Nono essential to barrier spells, Red just dismisses it all as "superstitious nonsense". Surprisingly, Elh has no reaction to his disrespect.
 * Ship Tease: With Elh.
 * : when The Order is given.
 * Stock Femur Bone: The one Red holds between his teeth.
 * Stun Gun: What you use outside your mecha.
 * See also: BFS
 * Three Amigos: With Chocolat and Elh, by the end of the story.
 * Transforming Mecha: DAHAK can use "Mode Change" from his battle forms to an anchor-shooting mecha and a flight mecha. There are also variations of his standard fighting mecha available after the half way point.
 * And improved versions of those are available in New Game+ mode, once you reach the Duel Ship. They're not cheap though!
 * Tron Lines: While it may be difficult or nearly impossible to see in-game, this spoilerific piece of concept art reveals that Red's has them.
 * Walking Shirtless Scene: Whenever he goes into Trance..
 * When All You Have Is a Hammer:
 * Dahak is capable of lifting and tossing things. Naturally, this applies to each and every enemy you encounter, though at least it varies between picking up the enemy itself and picking up the enemy's projectiles to return them.
 * Likewise, Red isn't very good at solving riddles. So, when ask him riddles, he just jumps right in and attacks them instead.
 * X Marks the Hero: He appears to have this underneath his right eye in most in-game face portraits, made difficult to clearly distinguish due to his bangs. However, it's one long horizontal scar across his nose with smaller tears crossing it vertically.
 * Years Too Early: Red tells a rookie he's a hundred years too soon to hope to win against him.

Chocolat Gelato
Red's little sister. She loves all things mechanical, and so spends a lot of time fixing up DAHAK or the Asmodeus, their home airship.

She's a Caninu, Pomeranian to be exact, but her short muzzle tends to confuse players (surprisingly, no one in game makes any mention of it).


 * Ace Pilot: At just 13 years old, she does advanced piloting manoeuvers with a huge domestic airship. Eat your heart out Fox McCloud.
 * Bare Your Midriff: The Queen of the Race photo shows Chocolat and Elh in a cheerleader outfit. Chocolat is enthusiastic, but Elh is less than amused by the prospect.
 * Blush Sticker: Chocolat's usual look, though she switches to a cheek-only Luminescent Blush for the Queen of the Race photo.
 * Through a Face Full of Fur
 * Brother-Sister Team: With Red, before Elh shows up.
 * Cat Smile: She does it the most, despite being a Caninu.
 * Cute Little Fangs
 * Edible Theme Naming
 * Fan Service: Downloadable quest #5. Chocolat is enthusiastic about wearing a "Queen of the Race" outfit but doesn't want to be the only one, so she tries to drag Elh into it; Red manages to goad Elh into promising to wear it if he manages to come in first place and break the track record at the Pharaoh Air Robo GP Cup by claiming the poor Felineko lacks the confidence to pull it off. By accomplishing both things, you receive a special photograph showing Elh and Chocolat in the aforementioned outfit, which makes them look like cheerleaders, complete with Bare Your Midriff, Modesty Shorts, and Exposed Animal Bellybutton.
 * Female Feline, Male Mutt: Subverts it, though you'd be forgiven for confusing her for a Felineko and thinking she played it straight.
 * Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The responsible one looking after her older brother Red.
 * Goggles Do Nothing: She flies the Asmodeus from inside a protected cockpit and never ventures outside, so she has no need of her goggles (which she never wears, either).
 * Happily Adopted: Brother-sister example in Red and Chocolat. Considering she's only 13, he may actually have legal custody of her, despite the fact that she deals with day-to-day issues like money much better than he does.
 * Heartwarming Orphan: Red and Chocolat are what happens when Heartwarming Orphans grow up and adopt each other.
 * Improbable Piloting Skills: For a 13 year-old, Chocolat pilots the Asmodeus exceptionally. Scratch that, Chocolat pilots the Asmodeus exceptionally, period.
 * Leave the Two Lovebirds Alone: To Cyan, Princess Theria, after winning the Prairie Kingdom Cup.
 * Mission Control
 * Punny Name: Chocolat Gelato.
 * Purple Eyes: Although she doesn't come off as especially mysterious. It's more likely a case of Graceful Ladies Like Purple than anything.
 * Rose-Haired Girl
 * Teen Genius: Chocolat Gelato. 13 years old and an engineer that not only manages to pilot her own home airship, but also manages the financial issues between her and her brother.
 * Teens Are Short: She's 13 and only 120 cm/3'11". You could justify this as her just being a Pomeranian, except for the fact that Russian blue cat Opéra is 170 cm/5'7" and should realistically be about the same size if breed determines height.
 * Three Amigos: With Red and Elh, by the end of the story.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: The girly-girl counterpoint to
 * Long Hair Is Feminine: Chocolat's hair reaches down to her tail, while her counterpart's is barely shoulder-length.
 * Voice with an Internet Connection: Chocolat spends most of her time in the Asmodeus, relaying maps and critical information to Red. She does venture out on occasion, but very, very rarely.
 * With a Friend and a Stranger: The "Friend" of the group.
 * Wrench Wench

Elh Melizée
A young Felineko rescued from the Hindenburg by Red, who offers him an exorbitant amount of money in exchange for helping with an ancient ritual to seal the monster Lares. Elh is blunt, taciturn, private...and not-so-secretly falling for Red.

""Hey! Don't get the wrong idea! I can see you getting it!""
 * Anger Born of Worry: After Red takes on Nero and Blanck for the first time, he barely escapes with his life. Once he wakes up and everyone is sure he's okay, Elh socks him a few times for being such an idiot. Then they comment on how it's good to see each other again after several months.
 * Armor-Piercing Slap: To Red, twice. Once after a Shower of Awkward, and once in the Prairie Kingdom Cup DLC quest.
 * The Atoner:
 * Baka: Elh's favorite nickname for and description of Red.
 * Bare Your Midriff: The Queen of the Race photo shows Chocolat and Elh in a cheerleader outfit. Chocolat is enthusiastic, but Elh is less than amused by the prospect.
 * Barrier Warrior
 * Belligerent Sexual Tension: At some points with Red. Usually they're good about working together without problems, but if he does something particularly stupid he'll certainly hear about it.
 * Birds of a Feather: Despite constantly calling Red an idiot, Elh eventually admits that they're alike in more ways than not.
 * Cannot Spit It Out: To Red. So, so much.
 * Cast from Hit Points: Using a large barrier spell leaves Elh exhausted to the point of collapse.
 * Awesome but Impractical: Blocking a Macross Missile Massacre? Awesome. Fainting when Red's not around to protect you? Not so awesome.
 * Cats Are Magic: Elh's Nono also reacts to certain artifacts with glowing Facial Markings and allows use of a barrier spell.
 * Cat Smile: Does one once or twice. Being a Felineko, this is kind of a given, though not all of Elh's smiles are Cat Smiles.
 * Cute Little Fangs
 * Eek, a Bug!!: Elh often tells Red to hurry up and squish the bugs in Visla, and Red has to save Elh from bugs twice, once in the main story and again in a sidequest. This functions as a Protection Mission, with a glowing circle around Elh marking the line you can't allow bugs to cross (this includes if you accidentally throw a bug across the line, because apparently even a dead bug is creepy).
 * Eyes of Gold
 * Facial Markings: Grey cheek stripes.
 * Fan Service: Downloadable quest #5. Red makes a not-very-willing Elh promise to wear a "queen of the race" outfit if he manages to come in first place and break the track record at the Pharaoh Air Robo GP Cup. By accomplishing both things, you receive a special photograph showing Elh and Chocolat in the aforementioned outfit, which makes them look like cheerleaders, complete with Bare Your Midriff, Modesty Shorts, and Exposed Animal Bellybutton.
 * Female Feline, Male Mutt: Subverted
 * Green-Eyed Monster: In the Prairie Kingdom Cup, Elh gets a case of this when
 * He Won't Come For Me: The Kurvaz capture Elh to use as bait to make Red turn over the medalion, but Elh says that won't work because he won't come.
 * Hidden Depths: In Samoyede, Elh reveals that Red is a little bit surprised.
 * Interspecies Romance: Teased with Red.
 * : along with Béluga, due to
 * Leave the Two Lovebirds Alone: To Red, when
 * The Load: In a quest after the end of the game, Red accuses Elh of eating too many free meals. When Elh turns to Chocolat for help, she agrees with her brother and says everyone on the Asmodeus has to do their share of work.
 * Luminescent Blush: Elh normally sports the "red lines across the nose" variant, but trades them for a Blush Sticker in the Queen of the Race photo, and turns entirely red during the Shower of Awkward.
 * Through a Face Full of Fur
 * Megaton Punch: To Red, after the second Shower of Awkward scene.
 * Modesty Towel: Worn by Elh during the Shower of Awkward scenes.
 * Mysterious Waif: Complete with MacGuffin amulet and.
 * Never Live It Down: After Red discovers that Elh is deathly afraid of bugs and Screams Like a Little Girl at the sight of them, he makes it a point to bring it up when possible. Elh even mentions not being able to live it down.
 * No Social Skills: Or at least very few. Elh's just a rather private person like that.
 * Orphan's Plot Trinket: Invoked to get into the canals in Spinon, telling the worker that they dropped a pendant from Elh's dead mother in there. Of course, as soon as the worker opens the sewers for them, the waterworks immediately stop and it's back to business as usual, causing Red to comment on how creepy it is for someone to be able to turn their emotions on and off like that.
 * Rescue Romance: Double Subverted. Red saved an unconscious Elh from the Hindenburg, but their Ship Tease doesn't pick up until quite a bit later and that rescue was never mentioned.
 * Screams Like a Little Girl: When confronted with bugs. And again when.
 * Ship Tease: With Red.
 * Shower of Awkward: Done twice. Modesty Towels prevented those moments from being even more awkward.
 * Skirt Over Slacks
 * Sugar and Ice Personality: Elh, normally calm and distant, occasionally shows a softer side (it gets shown more often as the story progresses).
 * Not So Stoic: Also a freaked-out side, if bugs are involved.
 * Tsundere: Red is surprisingly good at bringing out Elh's sarcastic, violent side as well.
 * Tender Tears: Elh apparently does not have a problem with crying, possessing at least two separate sprites with small droplets at the eye corners and displaying them without shame. The second opening animation even includes a Sparkling Stream of Tears.
 * That Came Out Wrong: Inside Lares, there's a fork in the road. Red and decide to split up, and you're forced to choose if Elh should stay with you or take the other path. Choose to go alone, and Elh will insist on going with you - but only because it's safer, of course!

 * That Makes Me Feel Angry: Elh, who is not very good at dealing with emotions, occasionally says things like "I feel happy" or "I feel disappointed." This is usually only in cases of positive or mild emotions, however; extreme anger doesn't need words.
 * Three Amigos: With Red and Chocolat, by the end of the story.
 * Vague Age: Officially listed as "looks about 14".
 * We Are as Mayflies: Elh gives a speech to Raisin about how thankful he should be that he and Cerise were lucky enough to be born in the same time and how they should fight for their love, class differences or not, because life is so short.
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy: Elh may qualify, depending on if you count that pale silvery-purple color as "white".
 * Man in White: Elh's tunic and boots also count, though the rest of the outfit is shades of grey, black, and purple.
 * Why Did It Have To Be Bugs: Elh has a phobia of bugs. This becomes a problem in Visla, which is crawling with them.
 * Wholesome Crossdresser: Then Elh gets mad at Red when he uses this fact to their advantage to
 * With a Friend and a Stranger: The Stranger of the group.
 * You Didn't Ask: Elh's response when Red and Chocolat ask.

Bruno Dondurma
The leader of the Kurvaz, currently the largest Hunter Guild in Shepherd. A rather arrogant sort whose newest ambition is to Take Over the World without losing his 100% Heroism Rating.


 * The Big Bad: His chase after the medallion to awaken Lares is the major conflict of the game.
 * Corrupt Corporate Executive: He's the leader of Kuvasz and wants to Take Over the World.
 * Evil Is Not a Toy: Bruno follows the same motivation as Fool from Tail Concerto: resurrect an ancient evil power to control.
 * Evil Laugh: Bruno has two varieties.

Opéra Kranz
The leader of the Kurvaz special ops unit. A little bit snotty but no less dangerous, she feels indebted to Bruno and works for him despite his increasingly aggressive orders.


 * Berserk Button: Opéra hates to be called old.
 * Oba-san: Translated as Red calling her "old woman" and Opéra correcting him to "young lady"
 * Boobs of Steel: Though Opéra's physical strength is never shown, she's certainly a capable mech pilot in battle.
 * Claustrophobia: In a downloadable quest, it is revealed that she suffers from this.
 * Facial Markings: Red cheek stripes.
 * : A DLC quest reveals that
 * Femme Fatalons: Hers are somehow visible through her gloves. A 4koma comic pokes fun at her long nails.
 * Form-Fitting Wardrobe
 * Funetik Aksent: Conspicuously absent. While her official profile claims she speaks with an "imperious drawl", her speech is rendered no differently than any other character.
 * High Collar of Doom
 * Just Following Orders: She really doesn't have much of a grudge against Red at all, even after losing to him, but fights him anyway because he's interfering with Bruno's plans.
 * Lady of War
 * Mini-Mecha: Pilots one.
 * Named Weapons: Named Tiamat.
 * Meaningful Name: Her mecha is named for a chaotic Babylonian sea goddess which gave birth to monsters. The mecha is capable of spawning small drones which explode.
 * Paper Fan of Doom: Opéra is frequently carrying a fan with the Kurvaz/Kuvasz Guild logo visible when unfolded, though she rarely (if ever) actually strikes anyone with the fan itself.
 * Punch Clock Villain: She shows displeasure at the more ambiguous moral choices she has to make as the leader of the Special Ops.
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: While not as interested in trying to Take Over the World as Bruno, she feels indebted to him for things he did in the past and is willing to go along with his antagonistic ways.
 * Spikes of Villainy: Her suit includes lines of spines along her breasts and hips as well as on her arms.
 * Statuesque Stunner: Opéra is quite tall compared to most of them, being 170 cm/5'7".
 * Undying Loyalty: The recipient of Gren and Calua's Undying Loyalty.
 * Villains Out Shopping: One of the special collectible photos you can acquire is a photo of the current Kuvasz special operative unit running away from Bruno after Calua broke his vase, and another shows Opéra hugging her two officers and introducing them to her two girls.
 * A Worldwide Punomenon: One of Opéra's voice clips is a fairly subtle combination of "meow" and "oui".
 * You Gotta Have Purple Hair

Gren Sacher and Calua Napage


Opéra's two servants. Gren is the more serious underling, while Calua is goofy, fun-loving, and doesn't take things too seriously. Gren's straight-laced nature can sometimes put him at odds with Calua, but they agree in their Undying Loyalty to Lady Opéra.


 * Awesome but Impractical: Calua's mecha is described as this.
 * Badass Long Hair: Gren.
 * Bare Your Midriff: Calua's armor covers his chest but not his waist.
 * BFS: Gren's sword can grow to more than twice the size of his mecha.
 * Boring but Practical: As a counterpart to Calua's mecha, Gren's is described like this in a 4koma comic.
 * Did I Just Say That Out Loud?: Calua accidentally blabs the Kurvaz's plan to Red.

 * Dark Furred Redhead
 * Mini-Mecha: They both pilot one.
 * Named Weapons: Gren's is named Mephisto and Calua's is named OverMephisto. Rivalry much?
 * Panthera Awesome: Calua is an ocelot, despite lacking most of the spots.
 * Punch Clock Villain: Gren's more a noble soldier who considers Red to be a Worthy Opponent than interested in trying to help Take Over the World. Calua is mostly just having fun and goofing around, not interested in anything but amusement and pleasing Opéra.
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: Though he's not as psychotic as Bruno, Gren is loyal to Opéra and the Kurvaz and is not an easy opponent to take down.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Calua and Gren, respectively.
 * Straight Man and Wise Guy: Gren and Calua, respectively.
 * Sword and Gun: Calua's mecha wields a halberd in one hand and a gun in the other. This actually makes him easier to deal with, since it gives you more ways of damaging him, and he only uses the weapons seperately.
 * Throw-Away Guns: When you toss Calua's bullets back at him, he'll drop his gun. You can grab it and shoot it two or three times before it runs out of ammo, at which point Red will simply chuck the whole gun. It disappears, and Calua quickly produces another to continue shooting.
 * Undying Loyalty: They have sworn loyalty their Lady Opéra.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Gren. His fur is a very pale shade of blue-white as well.

 * Big Breasts, Big Deal

 * The Gunslinger: Béluga and his mech, Salamander. His outfit even includes gratuitous spurs.
 * Geeky Turn On: When Merveille is presented with a hologram of a field of flowers, she's just as taken with the technology as she is with the beauty of the image. Béluga likes this aspect of her and finds it one of her most charming points, so would that be a Geeky Turn On Turn On?

 * Interspecies Romance: Teased with Merveille.
 * : along with Elh, due to

Captain Grumpf

 * Attack! Attack! Attack!
 * Fangs Are Evil
 * General Ripper: His first encounter with you has him willing to take down the airship he was supposed to protect in order to get you dead, and ended with his subordinates forcefully restraining him.

Baion
A new villain who rises not long after Bruno's defeat, Baion appears human and has a much simpler goal: instead of trying to Take Over the World, he just wants to Kill'Em All and cleanse the planet of its defective furry population.

 * Mini-Mecha: Waffle pilots one.

Alicia, Stair, and Flare Priss

 * Requisite Royal Regalia: Because we obviously wouldn't recognize Therria or know she's a princess without her:
