Soul Nomad & the World Eaters/Characters

Revya


The Silent Protagonist of our story. Gender and name are determined by you (though she appears in Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice as a female and the default name is Revya). Depending on the path taken, is either really nice, or evil incarnate. .

"Revya (In response to Levin sniffing out an enemy): Woof, Woof, doggy. Revya (When Danette suggests hotpods will fall from the sky): That’s a pretty stupid thing to say."
 * Ancestral Weapon: The Onyx Blade..
 * Canon Name: Revya, of course.
 * Chainmail Bikini: Female Revya.
 * Character Development: As the story goes on, Gig's personality rubs off on Revya, and thus gets a few lines like this.


 * Conveniently an Orphan
 * Curtains Match the Window: Red hair and red eyes.
 * Dark Is Edgy: Two of her techs are called Demon Blast and Demon Force, and both are about as dark-looking as their name implies.
 * Dark Is Not Evil: Revya's still a good person despite the trope above..
 * Deadpan Snarker: Becomes much more noticeable as the story progresses, but does show shades of this even early on.
 * Demonic Possession: Sort of. While Gig does inhabit her body, he doesn't have any control due to Revya's strong will and a seal placed by Layna.
 * Eleventh-Hour Superpower:, Revya gains the Demon Force ground tech during the last battle of the normal campaign. It can be used on repeat plays during the whole game, however.
 * Even the Girls Want Her: In the Danette ending, she displays feelings for Revya regardless if Revya is a guy or girl. Although she acts more flustered in the male version and treats her like a BFF threatening to 'tickle' her in the female one.
 * Friendly Rival: Towards Danette.
 * Gender Bender: Female Revya. . Of course, it's averted if you chose male.
 * The Hero:
 * Big Bad: In the Demon Path.
 * Heroes Prefer Swords: The choice in weaponry was already decided for him/her though.
 * Hidden Elf Village: Grew up in one for ten years.
 * I Am Who?:.
 * Interspecies Romance: Depends on the ending.
 * Kid with the Leash
 * Kryptonite Factor: Revya's most notable bad match ups is the Gypsies and the Gideons.
 * Jack of All Stats: Bordering on Lightning Bruiser; Revya is one of the most balanced and easy to use of the characters in the game, he/she has very few poor match ups, and his/her ground Techs are all around useful.
 * Made of Iron: Possibly. Gig remarks after that despite being the closest to the explosion, s/he was unscathed by the blast.
 * May–December Romance: With Juno in the Male Revya's ending.
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Doesn't get any worse than.
 * Omnicidal Maniac: In the Demon Path. To put it lightly.
 * Only Sane Man: Most of the time. However, being with Danette and Gig for so long has some effects.
 * Power At a Price: Could easily destroy the World Eaters on a caprice should he/she choose to use Gig's powers. However, the more Revya uses, the more likely Gig will devour his/her soul.
 * Purely Aesthetic Gender: The choice of gender only affects the multiple endings in the slightest of ways.
 * The Quiet One: All of Revya's responses are short and to the point.
 * Red Baron:.
 * Redheaded Hero
 * Silent Protagonist: Subverted in that s/he is STILL able to communicate with the others through occasional dialogue choices, and for the sake of moving the plot, there tends to be one option of what to say. When you get other options, it's when you are getting Relationship Values or.
 * Lampshaded in Disgaea 3 where Mao gives her a voice for use in battle and wonders why anyone would make a game where the main character doesn't talk.
 * There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Demon Blast. Let's just say it involves Beam Spam and.
 * Victorious Childhood Friend:.
 * Villain Protagonist: In the Demon Path.
 * We Cannot Go on Without You

Voiced by: Akira Sasanuma (JP), Yuri Lowenthal (EN)
A fallen god sealed inside the Onyx Blade. A Master of Death. Omnicidal, sociopathic, and awesomely evil. Was not originally like this. .


 * Almighty Janitor: Gig is a Master of Death, technically a subordinate to the World Rulers and equal to a Master of Life. He is more powerful than either,.
 * Badass: Anyone who can give Zetta a run for his money in power and trash-talking has earned this.
 * Bad Boss: Thuris and Raksha both mention that when they were rampaging through Haephness that Gig was very abusive towards them, hence part of why they want him dead.
 * Big Eater: The Vitali ending says that he stayed a restaurant that served hotpods for three days and ate its entire stock.
 * Chewing the Scenery: Gig does this a lot in the flashbacks.
 * Cluster F-Bomb: Gig does not have the cleanest mouth around.
 * Consummate Liar: Although he does drop hints when he's lying, no one picks up on it. It helps that the target of most of his lies is Danette.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Deal with the Devil: Tries this with Revya.
 * Don't Fear the Reaper:.
 * Evil Is Dumb: In a rather literal sense, he's not be bright when evil and tends to act more competent when turning good.
 * Fallen Hero: Was tossed down rather than fell.
 * The Grim Reaper: Gig is a 'master of death' — a being who should technically do the standard duties of the grim reaper.
 * Heroic Comedic Sociopath
 * Hey, You: He rarely ever calls anyone by their given name, but if he does have to call them by something, it's usually very insulting ('Stupid Cow' for Danette and 'Sister Loving Man Cow' for Levin). The only exception is Revya, who he calls 'Kid' or 'Soulmate' if he's being nice.
 * Well really nobody refers to Revya by name.
 * Idiot Ball: In the Normal Path, he frequently tries to convinces Reyva to give him control and just as many times says he'll destroy the world if he gets control, so not surprisingly Revya always refuses.
 * The Imp
 * Jerkass -> Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He spends much of the game taunting and rudely dismissing everyone around him (especially Danette and Levin), and heavily vocalizes his intent to wipe out the world once he gets control of Revya's body. However, while still quite rude, he mellows over time, becoming especially caring towards Revya.
 * The Lancer: Personality-wise, at least. Gig is verbose where Revya is mostly silent, sadistic and selfish where Revya is kind and selfless, cynical and sarcastic where Revya is naive and honest, and very fond of playing shoulder devil to his 'soulmate'.
 * Large Ham: Especially in the English version.
 * Laser-Guided Amnesia:.
 * Laughably Evil: Easily the funniest character in the game.
 * My God, What Have I Done?: During.
 * Hoist by His Own Petard:.
 * Omnicidal Maniac: As he often says, he wants to destroy everything, except hotpods.
 * , however...
 * Sinister Scythe
 * Theme Music Power-Up: "BAD BOYS" plays = Gig will be sarcastic. "Desperado" plays = Gig will own someone. "Rockin' Rocks" plays = Gig will destroy someone.
 * Token Evil Teammate
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Hotpods.
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy: He looks like your classic white haired psycho and certainly acts genocidal at first, but mellows out some as time goes on.
 * You Will Be Spared: Hotpods.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Hotpods.
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy: He looks like your classic white haired psycho and certainly acts genocidal at first, but mellows out some as time goes on.
 * You Will Be Spared: Hotpods.

 * Back from the Dead: Unclear; she was a ghost in her own game
 * Berserk Button: Being reminded of her death by poisoning sent her into a psychotic fit of rage.
 * Boobs of Steel: More of the Glass Cannon type. She can throw down some powerful magic. Also, she's quite stacked, giving Shauna and Alexemia a run for their money.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Hoo-boy, she's such a nut case that even Gig is freaked out by her.
 * Flanderization: YMMV on this.
 * Glass Cannon: Has the best INT attacks out of your playable characters. Can't take a hit worth a dime.

Chevalier of the forces of Raide, Galahad begins as a minor cowardly threat, but he improves greatly by the end of the events concerning World Eater Feinne.

 * Envy/The Starscream: Towards Thorndyke. He starts taking a level in badass after realizing Thorndyke was a really noble guy.
 * Evil Is Dumb
 * Heel Face Turn: Starts out as nothing but a corrupt bully, but grows into a heroic person over time.
 * Out of Focus: In the Normal Path, after showing remarkable growth up to the fight with Feinne, he quite suddenly drops out of the storyline at about the same time as Juno.
 * Justified; he was elected to help rebuild Raide after Feinne lazered it to the ground.
 * Redemption Promotion: Becomes the Prime Minister of New Raide.
 * Took a Level in Badass: To a certain extent, he's considerably more courageous just before the fight with Feinne.
 * Warmup Boss: The first real foe the player faces, Galahad still isn't much of a threat.

Queen of the Nereids. Though she can't walk on land, she has Juno be her eyes and ears for her in the outside world.


 * Cast From HP: She has a miraculous healing power, but it uses up a bit of her life force.
 * Demoted to Extra: Only gets one scene in the Demon Path, sadly.
 * Healing Hands
 * Her Heart Will Go On: Admits that she was in love with someone in the Demon Path (Normal Path hinted that her lover was one of the kings of Raide). It's implied that she wishes to see him.
 * Ms. Fanservice: Alexemia is practically naked, for Haephnes sake! She's only wearing a crown and a freakin' seashell bra.
 * Our Mermaids Are Different: Averted, somewhat. She's more of the standard mermain since she can't last on land too much, and she has the fish lower half.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure
 * Seashell Bra: Takes it a step further; Alexemia has Seashell nipple-covers.
 * Team Mom: For the Nereids. This trope is more literal than usual cases becasue it's implied that she IS all of the Nereids' mother.

Penn/
A human child adopted by the Nereid as part of their plan to repopulate the race.


 * Cheerful Child
 * Childhood Marriage Promise: Asks female Revya to marry him in Juno's ending. You don't get any say in it.
 * Creepy Child: In the Demon Path. He's Ax Crazy, and doesn't care about his own life, actually finds it cool when Revya doesn't care that Thuris uses him as human shield.
 * Dirty Kid: He loves big boobs.
 * Luke, I Am Your Father:.
 * Stay with the Aliens: When he meets his dad, he decides to stay with the Nereids (even as an adult).
 * Wholesome Crossdresser: For whatever reason, he's always seen in a dress and pigtails.
 * It's because he was raised by the Nereids, who are a Single Gender Race and therefore have no idea how to raise a male.
 * Wife Husbandry: Is the target of a reverse example. He's bound for a very... interesting life.

Feinne
The first of the titular World Eaters encountered. Gig says she's his favorite World Eater, as she is the most powerful of the three and the most obedient. She has little will of her own, and stood silently for centuries following Gig's defeat, only attacking in self-defence. .


 * Came Back Wrong: Like Gig.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: Battles against her are always this in the Normal Path, either in your favor or hers. The Demon Path often has you and her on even footing.
 * Hopeless Boss Fight: Feinne is too powerful to defeat without tapping into Gig's power, and Gig's power comes with a heavy cost..
 * I Cannot Self-Terminate:.
 * The Unfought: Borderline in the Normal Path; you're either hopelessly outclassed or she is, so there's not much chance to ever have a real fight with her.
 * Wave Motion Gun: Her normal form of offense.

Thuris
The second World Eater encountered, Thuris by far is the weakest of the three, focusing more on scheming than direct shows of power. He has the misfortune of being one of the first enemies encountered in either path, and as such, often falls prey to the Sorting Algorithm of Evil.


 * Big Bad Wannabe
 * The Chessmaster: Subverted; he's supposed to be one, but the problem for him is Soul Nomad is a Gambit Pileup from the word go, and he's got at least four other chessmasters he's competing against.
 * Fate Worse Than Death: He's resurrected by the Drazillian Masters of Life and Death just to be consumed by them near the end of the game, though this could be considered Kick the Son of a Bitch instead. They try to do the same to Feinne, but Revya and Gig intervene and Mercy Kill her.
 * A God Am I: Since normal people can't see him, he's managed to create a massive cult known as the Thurists.
 * Guide Dang It: Thuris is the first World Eater type enemy you get into a real battle with, and can be a tricky foe until you figure out the easiest way to take them down..
 * Hearing Voices: Normal people can't see him, so he's managed to convince hundreds that he's a god with a disembodied voice.
 * Informed Ability: The World Eater who is supposed to be the best schemer of the three winds up Out-Gambitted by every other chessmaster in the story.
 * Laughing Mad: In the Normal Path. So much that it even rivals the The Joker's and actually frightens Gig. Story-wise, it's averted in the Demon Path.
 * Out-Gambitted: See above.
 * Plaguemaster: The creator of Scarlet Iago, the deadly disease ravaging the land.
 * Smug Snake
 * Taking You with Me: When he's utterly beaten, Thuris self-destructs to spread a cloud of pure Scarlet Iago upon the party to try to kill them too.
 * Villain Forgot to Level Grind: He actually is a certifiable threat the first time you see him, but the second encounter is when he gets seriously Out-Gambitted, and since you've already worked out how to beat him the first time, the rematch is much simpler.

Raksha
The third world eater encountered, Raksha is, like Feinne, inactive initially, but this is due to being sealed in a cursed forest by the Dio family for generations. .


 * The Brute: The strongest physically of the World Eaters, but not big on brain power..
 * Climax Boss: Even knowing how to fight World Eaters from fighting Thuris twice, and with the members of the Hidden Village on your side, Raksha is still no slouch; defeating him really comes down to taking him down before he can smash all your characters into paste.
 * Dark Reprise: His battle theme is a remix of theme.
 * Kill It with Fire: His attacks consist of breathing fire and growing pair of Wolverine Claws made of fire attacking with them.
 * Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: He talks normally, but Gig noted that he's learned 'many big angry words'. Raksha said that he's feeling verbose.
 * Took a Level In Dumbass:.
 * Wolverine Claws: Made of fire.
 * Took a Level In Dumbass:.
 * Wolverine Claws: Made of fire.

Kanan
The leader of the Thurists, the cult that worships Thuris as a god.


 * Cult: He leads the Thurists, which is essentially a doomsday cult.
 * The Dragon: To Thuris..
 * Dropped a Bridget On Him
 * Eviler Than Thou:.
 * Evil Laugh: Seems to be a requirement for the Thurists.
 * Noblewoman's Laugh
 * Evil Redhead
 * Evil Sorcerer: As a Dracon hero unit, he's a powerful magic user.
 * In Love with Your Carnage: If his reactions to Thorndyke are any indication, he seems to have a thing for men.
 * Screw This, I'm Outta Here:.
 * Villainous Crossdresser: To the horror of Vitali.
 * Villainous Crossdresser: To the horror of Vitali.

Commander of the Knights of Raide. Is a very noble, honorable, but misguided man trying to prevent the group from making things worse with Feinne.


 * Authority Equals Asskicking: Grand Cordon of Raide, everyone.
 * Badass Boast: "I... I don't understand you. But I cannot let such anarchists live! Your death has arrived!"
 * Dropped a Bridge on Him: Dies rather abruptly in the Normal Path.

A bandit who unlike Endorph despises the poor and would rather rob them blind and see them suffer. She serves as a recurring antagonist to Revya's group afterwards. .


 * Dark-Skinned Redhead
 * Dark and Troubled Past: Possibly has one of the most brutal backstories in the game.
 * Dark Chick: In the Demon Path.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Pretty much anything not involving Trish is disdainment for everything, and this is the Normal Path.
 * Dub Name Change: Her name in the Japanese version is Schema.
 * Even Evil Has Loved Ones:.
 * Evil Counterpart: To Endorph.
 * Kick the Son of a Bitch: Kills Hawthorne in both paths..
 * Morality Pet: Trish is this for her in the Demon Path, or at least, gives her emotion. But after that fifty-five day skip...

 * Pet the Dog

Dio of the Evil Eye
The actual Dio and Odie's younger brother. The scion of the prestigious Dio family of sorcerers, he serves as an adviser to Queen Diness of Orviska. His ultimate goal is to kill Layna/Virtuous for humiliating his family generations ago to prove that the Dio line is more powerful and to take over the world for Median. Actively working with the World Eater Raksha.


 * Always Someone Better: Layna is his (and his family's) someone better, and he hates her for it. Also, he's this to Odie.
 * Boom Stick: His weapon, since he is a Dracosage.
 * Climax Boss: The last boss fought before . The battle in which you directly fight him and one before it are two of the longest and most tactically involving in the game, forcing you to carefully work your way around cramped terrain and bring down hordes of enemy troops. Dio himself is one of the very few enemies in the Normal Path to travel with a full team of nine units. And just to drive the point home, Rock n Rock's plays during the battle.
 * The Dragon:.
 * Evil Chancellor: Subverted. He's totally loyal to the queen (and in the Demon Path actively risks his life to save her), but still an asshole.
 * Evil Counterpart: To Odie.
 * Evil Sorcerer
 * Guest Star Party Member:.
 * Heel Face Turn: In the Demon Path, plays a Hero Antagonist role since he's initially to protect Orviska, and rescue the queen after Revya takes over. After Ghestal's death, he makes a full turn towards good and vows to work to better the world after Revya's defeat.
 * Not So Different: Is accused of being the same as Raksha in the Normal Path, to which he replies that Raksha doesn't actually want to rule anything, he just doesn't want anyone to give him orders.
 * Redemption Earns Life: In the Demon Path Good Ending.
 * Screw the Rules, I Make Them: His response to Odie calling him immoral magic is that laws are for commoners and that those who makes laws are above them.
 * Shock and Awe: Like the others dracosage units, his staff shoots thunderbolts.
 * Squishy Wizard: He is a Dracosage unit.
 * Undying Loyalty: To Median, even in death..
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist: He was a jerk, make no mistake, but he was doing what he thought was best for the world. Killing Layna is just to satiate his pride though.

A half-zombified swordsman with unmatched power who has been the personal property, along with Yavis and Parin, of the head of the Dio Family for generations. .


 * Authority Equals Asskicking
 * Climax Boss: Since the real final boss is an Anticlimax Boss to a certain extent, Gestahl is the last truly difficult foe in the Normal Path.
 * Dark Is Edgy: His powers are essentially Revya's Demon powers turned Up to Eleven.
 * The Dragon: For Dio..
 * I Cannot Self-Terminate:.
 * Laser-Guided Amnesia: Occasionally loses all memory.

 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast: The Blazing Swordsman, anyone?

God of the alternate world and villain of the game. Drazil used Gig and the World Eaters to attempt to usurp the flow of souls from Haephnes and lead them all into his world. He believes his world knows true order and peace, but, in Gig's own words, his world is little more than a graveyard full of dead people who simply haven't stopped moving yet.


 * All Your Powers Combined: Is all about this. Not only does he combine with his Masters of Life and Death to form the final boss, but he draws power from his Drazillian minions as well.
 * Amazing Technicolor Battlefield
 * Big Bad: Of the Normal Path.
 * The Chessmaster: The top one in the storyline, rivaled only by Virtuous.
 * Co-Dragons: Gamma and Joules, the Drazillian Masters of Life and Death serve as this.
 * The Evils of Free Will: He, as well as his Masters of Life and Death, were disgusted with how Haephnes' world turned out. Firm believers that free will leads only to suffering and that everyone would be better off without it, this was the reason for his World of Silence.
 * Knight Templar: Damn brutal one. As long as his plans work, he doesn't care how much people suffer for his atrocities in the process, and he doesn't object to eating souls either.
 * Large Ham: He is voiced by Jamieson Price in the dub.
 * Polite Villains, Rude Heroes: Well, calling him, Gamma and Joules polite would be a better of stretch, their well-spoken attitude and the fact that party of heroes does include Gig makes them come off as polite by comparison.
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist
 * World of Silence: His world, where the people all look the same and have no sense of individuality.
