* [[By the Power of Greyskull]]: Eddie, trying to command an Overblesser with an improvised evil prayer.
{{quote| '''Eddie''': How do I get this thing started? Oh man...Dear evil, messed up, demon powers. (Of darkness.) Please transport me off this [[Atop a Mountain of Corpses|awesome corpse pile]], I am but a visitor in this strange world, which some would call hellish, but I have to admit, is kinda badassed. Oh lords of gross leather things and S&M type wear! You know you guys really have style! That [[Naughty Nuns|Battle Nun?]] She was hot. Sorry about killing her, but you're evil though, so we're cool! I didn't know I could do that with an axe.}}
Line 68:
* [[Cue the Sun]]: The ''Light of Dawn'' solo.
{{quote| Eddie: "Oh mighty sun, burn the creatures of the night from this land while I enjoy coffee and bacon!"}}
* [[Dual
* [[Dude, Where's My Respect?]]: Lars ends up getting the credit for Eddie saving Ophelia early on. Later, {{spoiler|Eddie willingly lets Lars and Lita take credit for saving the world. He's a roadie after all, it's not his job to be in the spotlight. Subverted in that even though Eddie doesn't want the glory, it's clear everyone else appreciates him and his actions.}} Played straight with Kabbage Boy, who give Eddie absolutely no respect, though the feeling is mutual.
* [[The Engineer]]: ''Combat Engineer,'' natch.
* [[Fantastic Nuke]]: The solo "Bring it on Home" summons a [[Led Zeppelin (Music)|lead zeppelin]] to crash at your location. It's fantastically powerful, kind of a [[Wave Motion Gun]] in that you're quite vulnerable when jamming out the long spell and has a five-minute recharge.
Line 76:

* {{spoiler|[[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Half

* [[The Only One]]: {{spoiler|The final Legend paints Eddie as this.}}
Line 131:
* {{spoiler|[[Dark Action Girl]]: As commander of the Drowning Doom. Or rather, her evil doppelganger is.}}
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]] / [[Fantastic Racism]]: Her parents were part of the Black Tear Rebellion, which spurs much distrust from Lita.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Ophelia retrieves her first Razorfire Boar cannon, and strokes it slowly in anticipation of using it as a gun. Eddie and Killmaster stare.
* [[Hell
* [[Hot Amazon]]
* [[Keeping Secrets Sucks]]: {{spoiler|She figures out early in Eddie is the child of Succoria. She refuses to explain this, which leads to Eddie coming to believe it's her, then [[It Got Worse]].}}
Line 172:
{{quote| '''Headbanger''': "Do you think Lars shaves his chest?"}}
* {{spoiler|[[Plotline Death]]}}
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Oni]]
* [[Rousing Speech]]: His Double Team not only makes him powerful, but he will give a very long speech the entire time.
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Double Team with him, and he actually becomes powerful.

{{quote| Lars: "The time has come for you to shut the ''hell'' up, Lionwhyte!"}}
* [[Standardized Leader]]
Line 189:
{{quote|''Watch me stick this dummy in the crotch!''|''Voiced by [[Kath Soucie]]''}}
Lars Halford's [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|sexy, but aloof]] younger sister. An utter [[Ice Queen]] who is critical of Lars and mistrusting of Ophelia. She harbors personal prejudices of Ophelia because her parents were Tear Drinkers in the Black Tear Rebellion.

* [[Character Development]]: {{spoiler|At the start of the game, Lita distrusts pretty much everybody except for Lars. Following Lars' death she slowly becomes more trusting towards the other members of Ironheade. Finally, during the game's ending she admits that she was wrong to be so distrustful of others.}}
Line 202:
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Partially for Eddie, but more out of responsibility to Ironheade. Not enough for [[What Could Have Been|Tim Schafer though...]]
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Towards Ophelia because of her parents, making her a "Tear Drinker."
* [[Hell
* [[Heroic Lineage]]
* [[I Am Not Shazam]]: She is not Lita Ford, who is in the game, but instead voices [[Hot Amazon|Rima]].
Line 214:
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Princess {{spoiler|and later queen}} of Bladehenge, she <s> rocks in the mosh pits</s> fights on the front lines of every single <s> show</s> battle the Ironheade <s> band</s> army is in.
* {{spoiler|[[Supporting Leader]]: Replaces Lars in the end.}}
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]
* [[Tsundere]]
* [[They Plotted a Perfectly Good Waste]] / [[What Could Have Been]]: Lita is given limited [[Character Development]], most of her characterization is {{spoiler|her mistrust of Ophelia}}, but in the second half of the campaign she is developed briefly.
* [[Tomboy Princess]]
* {{spoiler|[[Unlucky Busty Girl]]: Near the end of the game it's implied that Lita has started to develop romantic feelings for Eddie. But Eddie only has eyes for Ophelia.}}
* [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]]: Or as Eddie once calls her, "Bossy Bangs."
