The Captain Ersatz, Expy, "No Celebrities Were Harmed", Mythology Gags, Continuity Nods and Shout-Out references go here.

Bridget

 * Voiced by Hiroko Konishi (XX), Yukiko Kato (Accent Core)

Bridget is a (crossdressing) boy. In his hometown, there is a superstition that if twins of the same gender are born, disaster will come. And because of that, baby Bridget was taken into the custody of the local convent's nun, then raised as a girl (well, it was that or having him killed off). He works as a bounty hunter to prove his manliness and that he isn't bad luck. Why he continues to dress like a girl when he wants to prove his manliness is unclear. At the end of his arcade mode on STRIVE, Bridget declares herself to be a girl, ceasing the cross-dressing part.


 * Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: For all his protests to the contrary, he definitely looks like a girl who was raised in a convent. Actually having a figure reminiscent of a petite woman doesn't help his case.
 * Badass:
 * Badass Normal: Probably the most normal cast member of them all, yet can easily stand his ground with every other character.
 * Bishonen: In training.
 * Crash Into Hello: One of Bridget's Intro Animations has him accidentally tripping up and then stepping on his opponent, and then the fight begins.
 * Dude Looks Like a Lady: Of course.
 * Fingerless Gloves
 * Improbable Weapon User: A yo-yo.
 * Nun-Too-Holy: He wears a nun's habit.
 * Panty Shot
 * Raised as the Opposite Gender: See his description.
 * Real Men Wear Nuns' Habits and Short Skirts
 * Ship Tease: For a crossdressing young teen with a girl's name, Bridget is pretty popular with the girls in the series. XX #Reload has him become friends with Dizzy in his Path 2 ending (as well as getting a Jellyfish Pirate hat from a girl that looks vaguely like Dizzy), as well as showing him and May acting friendly towards each other in her Path 2 ending. And Jam flirts with Bridget on at least one occasion, as well as having him become her waiter in her first Story Mode ending for Accent Core Plus.
 * Stupid Sexy Flanders
 * Token Loli: Male example, sharing the spot with May.
 * Transgender: At the end of Bridget's arcade mode on STRIVE, Bridget says he is a girl from now on. A lot of tropes here related to the fact Bridget used to be a boy which looked like a girl became then averted in the new status quo but are still valid for previous games where she was a boy and, in fact, did not have any kind of transsexual-related issues.
 * Unsettling Gender Reveal: The infamous former Trope Namer.
 * Wholesome Crossdresser: Meme's there for a reason, people.

Slayer

 * Voiced by Iemasa Kayumi

A powerful Nightwalker who seems to be the only one who knows exactly what the hell is going on. He visits many characters and gives them valuable hints. He was the original founder of the Assassins' Guild, and his main objective is to disband it because it became corrupted from his original intentions. He is married to an immortal Lady in Red named Sharon, who is completely immune to anything, even parasites like Eddie (in fact, it is shown in Eddie's 1st ending in XX that upon making contact with her, he melts away into nothingness).


 * Badass: Slayer laughs at classic﻿ vampire weaknesses. Slayer scoffs at sunlight and shrugs off a stake in his heart like it's nothing. Slayer eats garlic for breakfast, lunch AND dinner. And if all this mockery wasn't enough, Slayer tops it all off by wearing a cross for a tie. The man is just a colossal badass. Period.
 * Badass Beard
 * Cultured Badass: For bonus points, he sounds like Sean Connery in the English dub of Xrd!
 * Retired Badass: Now more like former retired badass who wants to retire after he's finished with his business regarding the Assassins' Guild and destroy some of the Post War Administration Bureau's facilities.
 * Badass in a Nice Suit
 * Classical Movie Vampire
 * Creepy Cool Crosses
 * Even Evil Has Standards: While not super evil, he still dislikes what has happened to the Assassins Guild.
 * Happily Married: He and Sharon.
 * High-Class Glass
 * I Let You Win: Seeing as every fight against him is acknowledged as him not going all out, it's pretty obvious he does this.
 * You can definitely see this in his knockdown sprite. Rather than lying unconscious, when Slayer is "knocked out", he merely lies on the ground with a miffed expression on his face, propped up on his arm.
 * Immortality: Besides his Type V, his wife Sharon may be Type I.
 * Let's Fight Like Gentlemen
 * Lightning Bruiser: Can teleport back and forth on the battlefield, and his attacks pack quite a punch.
 * Man of Wealth and Taste
 * Nice Guy: Extremely civil to pretty much everyone, even hands out hints to people for seemingly no reason than wanting to be helpful (like when he informs Ky Kiske something is seriously wrong with the bounty on Dizzy, even though he has little reason to care).
 * Official Couple: Happily Married with Sharon.
 * Older Is Better
 * Our Vampires Are Different: Sunlight doesn't affect him. In Isuka's credits, it is shown that other traditional vampire weaknesses (a cross, garlic and a wooden stake) are merely amusing to him.
 * Really 700 Years Old
 * Sharp-Dressed Man
 * Smoking Is Cool: Slayer can actually block attacks with smoke from his pipe.
 * Warrior Poet: His Instant Kill includes haiku, come on!
 * Willfully Weak: One of the strongest characters in the series, although we never see him go all-out on That Man, so we cannot say if he is the strongest.

Zappa

 * Voiced by Yuji Ueda

A seemingly normal man who is actually possessed by several spirits. He seeks to find Faust so he can cure his ailment. In XX, he finds Faust, who tells him that he doesn't know what to do about it and suggests that he train himself to control the blackouts. In Accent Core Plus, he encounters Faust again, who finally concludes that Zappa is possessed after seeing S-ko for the first time. Faust purges the ghosts from Zappa, and he thanks Faust for his help.


 * Awesome but Impractical/Difficult but Awesome: Zappa is consistently a low ranked character. This is not because he is weak, but because when you play Zappa, you essentially play as five different characters at once and constantly (and randomly) change between them throughout the fight. That said, if you can get Raoh out, Zappa becomes a Game Breaker.
 * Bishounen: The reason why S-ko got attracted to him.
 * Blank White Eyes: When possessed by S-ko.
 * Blessed with Suck: Is a natural medium for spirits, attracts many of them and gets possessed.
 * Brainwashed and Crazy: Not that he's aware of this, mind you. All he knows is he passes out randomly and wakes up in a new area with fresh wounds on him.
 * The Chew Toy: Poor, poor Zappa.
 * Confusion Fu: Seriously, he is able to randomly change his moveset while fighting.
 * I Am Legion: Has an evil dog, a cursed sword, the "Three Stooges", Raoh (no, not THAT Raoh), and S-ko living within him. And the centipedes that appear while the summoning attack and one of his Overdrives.
 * Lightning Bruiser: When Zappa has Raoh out.
 * Motor Mouth: Not when he's himself, but during battle, he just never shuts up. Justified as he has about 7 ghosts trying to talk all at once.
 * Not Himself: Whenever possessed by S-ko. In Story Mode, this is indicated by his skin turning dark blue and Blank White Eyes until Accent Core Plus (which showed him bent over backwards like his fight pose). His voice is also distorted.
 * Powers Via Possession: A key part of fighting with Zappa is recognizing what powers are available to you at any given point.
 * Screams Like a Little Girl
 * Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl: S-ko.
 * Unlucky Everydude: Unlike almost everyone else on the roster, Zappa is just a normal human. He doesn't even willingly fight; he just passes out and then the supernatural stuff happens. The Three Stooges can also inflict this status on an opponent, causing random flower pots to fall from the sky and various other means of tripping them up.

I-No

 * Voiced by Kikuko Inoue

The mysterious servant of That Man. Putting it simply, she is all that is Bitch. And she loves it. As she serves That Man, she also knows Sol. In XX, she goes around causing heaps of trouble for the other characters. In Accent Core Plus, after an encounter with Sol, she transports him back in time to fight his past self Order-Sol.

"(after defeating May): "Aren't you a little young to be around here? Go home and drink your daddy's milk."
 * Ambidextrous Sprite: When facing left, she holds her guitar like a lefty (and her guitar becomes a lefty-built as well).
 * Badass:
 * Lady of Black Magic: Explicitly confirmed to use spells in Accent Core Plus.
 * Bullet Hell: Her infamous Megalomania attack which will drain your entire tension meter if you block it in addition to some of your health.
 * Combat Sadomasochist
 * Combat Stilettos
 * Dark Action Girl
 * Depraved Bisexual: Strongly implied in the XX ending where she captures May.
 * Double Entendre: LOVES using these.
 * Enigmatic Minion: Her profile in her story mode simply reads "UNKNOWNUNKNOWNUNKNOWN...". Not so enigmatic after XX, as her cover is blown.
 * For the Evulz
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: Almost all of EX I-No's win quotes in the arcade are tinged with sexuality. In Accent Core, they don't even try to hide it.


 * Sometimes when she loses too. For example, if caught in May's insta-kill (where May and April shove the defeated foe into a cannon to be launched off their ship):

""Look here you little bastards, this thing's not a toy, and even if it was it's an adult toy! Not that kind of adult toy, like adults ONLY, not ADULTS only, or a-- (Cut off as the cannon fires)"


 * Improbable Weapon User/Instrument of Murder: I-No uses a shapeshifting electric guitar. She can either smash people with it, or create cacophonic sounds to defeat her opponents.
 * Lady in Red
 * Manipulative Bitch: Cannot stress this enough.
 * Ms. Fanservice
 * Musical Assassin: Her move names have musical traits, as do the actual moves themselves.
 * Nice Hat: It talks!
 * Orgasmic Combat: I-No sounds a little too excited while inflicting or taking pain. This is raised to Memetic Molester levels when I-No fights Dizzy because their respective reactions to combat sounds like I-No is raping Dizzy.
 * The Power of Rock: Her Instant Kill, and her winpose in which she plays "One" by Metallica.
 * SNK Boss: Especially in Accent Core.
 * Split Personality: On one hand, mysterious and sexy. On the other hand, you guessed it: ULTRA-BITCH.
 * Stripperific: She even takes off her top in one of her win poses, though she turns her back to the camera so all we get is sideboob.
 * Stupid Evil: Most of the shit she does for That Man doesn't help him and bogs him down because he takes it upon himself to right whatever she fucked up.
 * Thigh-High Boots
 * This Cannot Be!: She screams such a phrase when Dizzy obliterates her in one of her Guilty Gear XX endings, all the while pleading for someone to help her get away from her massively overwhelming attack. She also says such a phrase after May kicks her ass.
 * Time Travel: Her magic ability. She states it's not exactly easy to do though.
 * Troll: The rare, BITCH variety.
 * The Vamp

Robo-Ky

 * Voiced by Kantaro (XX Battle Voice), Takeshi Kusao (XX Story Voice), Yutaka Terada (Robo-Ky MK. II), Takumi Inoue (AC)

The robot impersonator of Ky created by the PWAB. There are several of these things floating around. Also has a MK-II version which copies his opponents' moves.


 * Badass:
 * Badass Automaton: To the point, even with his screwups, you have to question the PWAB's sanity in trying to dispose of him.
 * Submissive Badass: Designed as one, but rebels.
 * Butt Monkey: The last Robo-Ky gets a lot of fun poked at him in REVELATOR, but he himself is far more serious than any of his predecessors.
 * Do-Anything Robot: The only thing he doesn't do is emulate the person he impersonates properly. Also present in the MK-II version from Isuka.
 * Early-Bird Cameo: Was Ky's EX mode in X.
 * Evil Twin: Robo Ky, who literally was just an EX movelist Early-Bird Cameo for Ky in Guilty Gear X and a palette swap of Ky in his first proper appearance (Guilty Gear XX) with slightly different portraits. He came into his own with exclusive sprites and movesets starting with #Reload.
 * Hive Mind: Subverted because since all Robo-Kys have the same arrogant personality, each model is acting superior than the other.
 * Mecha-Mooks: There are many Robo-Kys, and they are acting in separate missions that most of the time fail.
 * Robosexual: Inverted. He likes human women in general, desiring Millia, Jam and Baiken.
 * ROBOTIC_BSOD: "ERROR!_CRITICAL ERROR!_BLUE_SCREEN_OF_DEATH!" *Earthshattering Kaboom*
 * Slouch of Villainy: Has a fold-in throne.
 * Spam Attack: DAMEDAMEDAMEDAMEDAMEDAMEDAMEDAMEDAMEDAMEEE!!!
 * Stylistic Suck:
 * His alternate theme "Holy Orders?". Given that he is a robot version of Ky, it only makes sense that this theme be a robotic-toned version. The end result is that the song ends up sounding like a broken record, randomly jumping up and down in pitch and volume at a moment's notice. You'd almost think that the band was drunk while performing it.
 * Averted on the korean version, where his theme is a mechanical version of Ky but played properly, with electronic notes and industrial noises.
