Rave Master/Characters

Haru Glory
"Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki (JP), Yuri Lowenthal (EN)"

The hero. Haru Glory came from a small island that's referred to as incredibly far out in the sticks and lacks knowledge of most any world history or geographical features.

 * Calling Your Attacks: He always blurts out any change to his sword
 * Cannot Spit It Out: He doesn't get to confess to Elie for thirty four volumes (she isn't in the first)
 * And when he does confess, it's a Dying Declaration of Love.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: A large chunk of the manga's humor comes from stupid things that leave his mouth, but he's still the strongest character among the Rave Warriors.
 * Cry Cute
 * Curtains Match the Window: Somewhat
 * The Determinator: Hell yeah!
 * Disappeared Dad: Gale Glory.
 * Dub Name Change: Not Haru himself, but rather the Ten Commandments, which becomes the Ten Powers.
 * Forgotten Phlebotinum: He gets a sword form with gravity powers some time before fighting Doryu, a guy who can Won't Work On Me Haru's attacks thanks to possessing gravity powers. But does Haru even try using Mel Force? No.
 * He actually does try Mel Force in his first fight with Doryu, but thanks to the power of attraction, Doryu was able to bridge the gape between them, this is made more impressive because this sword single-handily caused King's first defeat before going One-Winged Angel.

Plue
"Voiced by: Yukiji (JP), Mona Marshall (EN)"

Rave's bearer. Plue is a dog(?) with an unknown gender and age who travels with either the wielder of Etherion or the Rave (or both) and helps guide them. He doesn't do much as far as guiding them, but he does occasionally help either Haru or Elie when they're in a tight spot. He came dangerously close to being renamed Shabutaro by Haru and Cattleya.


 * Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny

Elie A.K.A
"Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi (JP), Michelle Ruff (EN)"

The main female. Elie is a cheerful amnesiac girl who's just a little off and really likes bugs. She and Haru met in a racing track (a casino, in the anime) where she quickly fell for him because of his kind heart. She follows him around and is revealed to posses the ultimate magic, known as Etherion. She also bears a strong resemblance to Resha Valentine, who passed away fifty years ago, to everyone's continuous confusion.


 * Action Girl: She started actively fighting on her own the first time the team fought the Oracion Six
 * Amnesia Danger: Had she retained her memories she could have wiped every villain from existence rather than been kidnapped by each and every one (save King).
 * Apocalypse Maiden: But she's also the only thing that can stop the ultimate evil monster.
 * Bare Your Midriff: Her most common outfit
 * Blessed with Suck: Etherion, until she regains control of it.
 * Break the Cutie: She's a heck of a lot more prone to tears after getting back her memory.
 * The Chick: Her role in the band.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Plue deflated. Let's bury him, that'll help. He needs dirt.
 * Cry Cute
 * Curtains Match the Window: A cheerful brown hair girl with an active imagination.
 * Damsel in Distress: At least once per Big Bad except King. By the fifth time around, she's gotten better at handling it.
 * Extraordinarily Empowered Girl
 * Fake Memories: In the anime she recalls being branded as a test subject 3173 in the middle of her talk with Sieg..
 * Fear of Thunder: It's Sieg's fault
 * First Girl Wins:
 * Genki Girl: A trope postergirl.
 * Groin Attack: On Julius.
 * Important Haircut:
 * Laser-Guided Amnesia: Having no idea who she is or how to use her magic doesn't stop her from reading a dead language.
 * Meaningful Name: ELIE 3173. It's initially thought to be a test subject mark (humourously, the person who thinks this has a name that flips to make a number too) but is actually the coordinates for.
 * Ms. Fanservice: Until Belinka, Celia and Juilia came along.
 * Older Than They Look: Whether she counts as around 17 or around  is up to you.
 * Plucky Girl
 * Single Woman Seeks Good Man
 * Story-Breaker Power: Etherion.
 * You Are Number 3173

Griff
"Voiced by: Katsuya Shiga (JP), Tom Kenny (EN)"

A strange blue creature originally recruited by Elie to help her and Haru reach the mountain they suspect a Rave stone to be at. He quickly becomes a member of the main cast, and is supposed to be very skilled at map making. His hobby is peeping on Elie. Every other character is better than him


 * The Load: Invaluable as he is as a cartographer and navigator, he is completely useless in a fight.
 * Lovable Sex Maniac: Or the not so lovable one.
 * Non-Human Sidekick: Like Plue, we never learn what kind of creature he is.
 * Normally I Would Be Dead Now: Being sliced in two does normally kill one. What kind of bizarre natural selection gives someone the ability to become two people after being sliced in two? What kind of bizarre natural selection makes anything like Griff, for that matter.

Hamrio Musica
"Voiced by: Showtaro Morikubo (JP), Doug Erholtz (EN)"

A silver claimer (someone who can manipulate silver) and former gang leader who teams up with Haru after reuniting with his grandfather.

 * Morph Weapon: The silver he carries with him.

 * Anime Hair: Super Saiyan 3 style no less, until he became human.
 * Adaptation Dye Job: In the manga his hair is white. In the anime it's blond, so that he could pass as Super Sayian Goku.
 * Badass: A Dragon martial artist . Oh yeah.
 * Blood Knight: He became a Lawful Good like the rest of the group, but still has shades of it.
 * Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Several suicide attacks. He manages to use three. In a story with lots of death he's good at slipping around it.
 * Elemental Baggage: Fire-breathing.
 * Heel Face Turn: So obvious it doesn't even need a spoiler tag.
 * Insistent Terminology: He's dragon race, not an alligator, and definitely not a human.
 * Limited Wardrobe: Most of the cast is better about it.
 * One-Winged Angel: A heroic one in which he crosses the Bishonen Line into the form he remains in the rest of the series.
 * Noble Demon: In the beginning, he claims he's only traveling with Haru and co so he can study their weaknesses for the next time they fight. He grows out of this pretty quick though.
 * Playing with Fire: His main elemental power
 * The Stoic: For a little while.
 * Victorious Childhood Friend
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy: [[media:27477 100001031701580 4008 n 4485.jpg|Originally he was this]]

Ruby
"Voiced by: Yukiji (JP), Bob Glouberman (EN)"

A penguin(?) who inherited a large sum of money and giant floating casino from his late father. He's dismayed to learn he's been funding a criminal origination and ends up going to Haru for protection when he refuses to continue giving Doryu money.

 * Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: He's pink
 * The Ditz: Yet somehow he masters magic.
 * Improbable Weapon User: A bell

 * Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense: He's not good at keeping track of his money.
 * Talking Animal: A penguin?
 * Verbal Tic: Poyo!
 * And it's contagious. When the gang first encounters it several try to imitate it. At one point, even The Comically Serious Sieg uses it.

Julia
Let's polar opposite girlfriend. She spent a good deal of time stuck as a dragon under Jegan's control, but once she changes back she joins Haru's team.

 * Shameless Fanservice Girl
 * Shipper on Deck: As stated above, for Haru and Elie.
 * Taking You with Me: Attempted during one fight against an opponent who could turn himself into acid. When her regular attacks don't work, she resorts to throw herself and him out of the airship they were fighting on and tricks him into liquefying that he evaporates into nothing while she fully intended to fall to her death. Luckily a nearby dragon happened to show up and save her.
 * Victorious Childhood Friend
 * Wrestler in All of Us: Her style is more akin to grappling rather then martial arts that her boyfriend uses.

Belnika
A sweet, somewhat timid girl (she gets better) who underwent experiments in order to try and gain Etherion. They failed, but she acquired some powerful magic none the less. Her specialty is healing. She was duped into working for Hardner, but quickly switches to Haru's side after developing a slight crush on him.

 * No One Should Survive That: We still don't know how he survived a 1000+ foot fall after lopping of an arm. Leads too...

 * You Killed My Father: just replace father with children, their spouses, and my grandchildren.

 * Mr. Exposition
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Go through the official translation and count the different names and spelling he gets. He's actually called Sieg initially, and they change the spelling on the next page.

"Voiced by: Masami Kikuchi (JP), Crispin Freeman (EN)"

The first (and for a long while, only) sorcerer introduced. Sieg Hart is a magic swordsman obsessed with protecting time, which comes from being raised in a town with the same obsession.

 * Badass: So much that
 * Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: By the end of the series he's been everyone's enemy at some point. It's a little hard to notice because he's usually allied to multiple groups, but Shuda calls him out on it at one point.

 * Not to mention
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: He's only the first notable example.

Julius
"Voiced by: Akira Sasanuma (JP), Jeff Nimoy (EN)"

The sixth, and vain, Demon Card general. Julius has serious moments once in a blue moon, and usually only because the enemy dared to strike him in the face.

 * The Beautiful Elite: His face is Serious Business.
 * Beauty Mark

 * Defeat Means Friendship: Defeat in a dance contest, mind you.
 * Heel Face Turn
 * Naked People Are Funny: Starting with the Blue Gaurdians arc he's an exhibitionist

 * Ax Crazy: Literally, the only people that make him look sane are Hardner, and you believe it when you read about them
 * The Brute: He is easily the least intelligent of the Big Bads of the series.
 * Dumb Muscle: Doryu is obviously a better strategist and has a more thought-out plan than the Oni captain will ever will.

 * I Have You Now, My Pretty: Poor Elie.
 * Lust: His main goal is too have all the pretty girls in the world.

 * An Ice Person: Juria
 * Ax Crazy: Ashura and Megido especially

 * The Dragon: Once Lucia scraps all his other minions, Megido especially.
 * King of Beasts: Megido looks like one.

 * Quirky Miniboss Squad: Combined with Villain Decay is what they're reduced to

 * Hair-Trigger Temper
 * Informed Ability: These five are said to have powers greater than a 1000 demonoids, yet they go down much quicker than most of the later Quirky Miniboss Squad of the series.
 * Additional points for Rionette for being described as the most cruel of the five, when all we saw as coldness and strange liking to weird things.
 * Non-Standard Character Design: These five are much more detailed in design, especially compared to the later guardians of the several Big Bads who would later appear in the story; especially L'Tiangle, who is noted to be the hardest character to draw in the whole series.
 * Quirky Miniboss Squad
 * The Stoic: All of them appearance wise, only that Ron has a huge Hair-Trigger Temper and Racas is the Comically Serious
 * Undying Loyalty: Implied.
 * Villainous Breakdown: L'Tiangle, once Musica gets ahold of him, immediately panics as he did not expect that he'd make a counterattack.

 * Cloudcuckoolander
