=== Alex Williams ===
{{quote|"Sweet Christmas, that's stupid fresh!"}}
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Anti-Hero]]: In the early strips Alex was pretty much antihero [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|type I]], not particularly caring about helping anyone (he was actually surprised when [http://www.captainsnes.com/2001/10/09/40-light-gun-its-a-fricken-bazooka/ Zelda told him he's supposed to rescue Marle] and was quick to point out that he didn't volunteer for this) and mostly concerned about [http://www.captainsnes.com/2001/07/31/010-the-important-things/ entertaining himself]. However, he does [[Character Development|become more heroic as the story progresses]], especially after [http://www.captainsnes.com/2005/01/22/alex-gets-his-act-together/ episode 471].
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: To the point where even after learning that being the Game Master isn't all roses, [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/07/18/165-tough-choices/ he still prefers it to his past life outside Videoland].
* [[Basement Dweller]]: [http://www.captainsnes.com/2009/08/14/585-breaking-point/ Before being sucked into Videoland.]
* [[Berserk Button]]:
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[The Chosen Zero]]: Assuming he's [[The Chosen One]] to begin with (which is far from certain - see below).
Line 19 ⟶ 23:
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: He does do very heroic stuff on occasion, but also admits to enjoying being a dick.
* [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]]: [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/07/16/164-the-voice-of-the-enemy/ WHATEVER Alex did to Wily here certainly counts].
** Very much so in the non-canon omakes, where he's responsible for the atomized murder of at least 25 people via [[BFG|plasma cannon]], including but not limited to [[The Legend of Zelda
** His sociopathic tendancies are in fact so pronounced that Wily, a publicly-acknowledged villain (turned-unwilling-politician), is already horrified of what he might be capable of via his weapons and equipment.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: For all his vulgarity and selfishness, Alex is actually very well read.
Line 29 ⟶ 33:
* [[Save Scumming]]: Effectively [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/06/11/140-and-in-case-youre-wondering-no-they-cant-stop-him-in-combat-you-wait-your-turn-2/ one of the Game Master's powers], {{spoiler|though it only works when in the same gameworld as the save point he last used.}}
* [[Seven Deadly Sins]]: Well, five. And not the original deadly sins. But they do annoy him.
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: Alex is [[Cluster F
** In ''[http://www.captainsnes.com/2006/02/07/517-the-legendary-swear-down-on-sailor-street/ The Legendary Swear-down on Sailor Street]'', Alex claims (sarcastically) that he not only might have achieved "[[Power Makes Your Hair Grow|a state of trascendent power]]" by swearing so much, but that the [[
*** Not long after that, Dr. Light states a strong desire to wash that boy's mouth out, with Wily at first mistaking it for "wishing to blow up the Gamemaster for having a potty mouth"...
* [[Time Stands Still]]: A power he inherited from the previous Game Master, via the game controller
Line 38 ⟶ 42:
* [[The Unchosen One]]: He was told by the shadows from the Desert of Shattered Dreams that he's merely a substitute for the real Game Master (or, as he put it, [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/12/26/248-sloppy-seconds/ second best Captain SNES]). For some reason when the ultimate warp zone was opened for the first time to let the real Game Master enter Videoland, [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/12/24/247-hints-of-a-past-long-forgotten/ it got Schrödinger instead]. Whether this will be confirmed remains to be seen, but either way Alex is determined to fight the Sovereign of Sorrow.
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene|Walking Pantless Scene]]: He spent nine years of the comic's run (i.e. more or less a day in-universe) parading around without pants. This finally got remedied by Protoman [http://www.captainsnes.com/2011/07/09/694-wherein-protoman-becomes-everyones-favorite-character/ in episode 694].
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Evil Otto terrifies Alex to his core.
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/06/25/152-wish-i-could-get-that-much-sleep/ Books can have more than one page Alex].
{{quote|''IT'SA ME! MARIO!"}}
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass]]: Mario is called "The Great One". By ''[[Dragonball Z|Vegeta]]''.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Does not like being called a druggy.
* [[Beware the Silly Ones]]: Mario has... a lot of quirks. But he's viewed with hushed awe by most of Videoland.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Despite Magus' complaints and his own actions, Mario knows the nature of Videoland quite thoroughly, is quite dangerous to anyone not enforcing their local reality on him, to the point where even Vegeta refers to him as 'The Great One'. [[Power Levels|He is rated 9 on the threat scale]], second behind the ''Sovereign of Sorrow herself.'' To put this in perspective, the only other threat level 9 character shown so far was an insane end-boss god-being that was tearing Nexus apart block-by-block.
* [[No Hero to His Valet]]: [[Mega Man (
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: His solution to every problem is to jump on its head. [http://www.captainsnes.com/2005/03/03/474-unwanted-help/ He even refused to help Mega Man] in a fight against giant radioactive Q-Bert because Mega Man didn't try jumping on his head before asking for help. (Not that Mario didn't have a point, though - [http://www.captainsnes.com/2009/07/21/583-civil-showdown/ jumping on Q-Bert's head was exactly what ultimately killed him].)
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Hell yeah.
* [[Badass]]: It's Samus Aran. What do you think?
Line 59 ⟶ 65:
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: She does not care about Eggplant Wizard's plots. She just shoots him in the face with a mega bomb.
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass]]: This is the guy who attacked Rydia's and Spoony's entire [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Red_Wings Red Wings] fleet all by himself, on foot, high in the air, armed only with his sword, ''and won''. Nuff said.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Even the mere idea of something bad happening to Marle. And even the mere idea of some other guy rescuing Marle, [http://www.captainsnes.com/2001/11/01/050-thou-shalt-not-covet-cronos-ho/ as Alex learned the hard way].
Line 69 ⟶ 76:
* [[Shock and Awe]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass]]: So far we didn't really see him in combat much, but he did curbstomp [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/08/21/377-battle-with-the-drab-lords-minion/ powered-up Antlion].
* [[Last Second Chance]]: During his confrontation with Spoony he repeatedly warns him that serving the Sovereign will ultimately only bring sorrow even to Spoony himself and offers to help him.
* [[The Paladin]]
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Spoony's reason for revenge on Cecil was because back in Final Fantasy IV, Cecil not only changed his name to Spoony, but also immediately killed him every time he was alive in a random encounter. Though in Cecil's defense, the fault lies with Alex as he was playing the game and controlling Cecil, and he wanted Edward dead because it meant more EXP for the rest of the party.
=== Mega Man ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass]]
* [[Brother
* [[Determinator]]: He will fight to protect Nexus and the multiverse, even if that means fighting an enemy that is much, much more powerful than him - such as Amon.
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: He's a hardened Nexus cop who does not want to be your friend, but he ''does'' want to save the multiverse.
Line 85 ⟶ 94:
* [[My Greatest Failure]]: [http://www.captainsnes.com/2009/02/10/577-sovereign-blues/ Failing to stop the Sovereign of Sorrow when facing her directly]. Or at least that's how Green Mega Man sees it. The original Mega Man insists he's mad at Green Mega Man, not himself, for this. (Then again, whether they are separate beings is uncertain - see below.)
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Very much on the cynical end.
* [[Back
=== Green Mega Man ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass Adorable]]: The [[Trope Namer]]
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: He even insists on [[Save the Villain|saving Amon]] after he accidentally launched him into the Desert of Shattered Dreams.
* [[Does Not Know His Own Strength]]: Sort of. While he appears to be well aware of how strong he is, he does not quite know the formula for imparting kinetic energy. When he is told he forgot to square the velocity after hitting Amon, Amon goes from knocked back a few feet, to being launched several thousand fast enough to create a sonic boom, and through a few dunes into a desert that denies sprites their resistances.
* [[Heroic Mime]]: Like in Crono's case, it's only Alex who can't hear him.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: After knocking Amon into a desert.
* [[Sharing a Body]] / [[Split Personality]]: In Captain SNES universe the original Mega Man and the Mega Man from ''Captain N'' may be two separate entities. More specifically, Green Mega Man [http://www.captainsnes.com/2009/03/24/578-how-soon-we-forget/ is a program created by Dr Wright] that may be only sharing a body with the original Mega Man. However, the relation between them isn't entirely clear - Mega Man insists that they are not the same being, while Green Mega Man [http://www.captainsnes.com/2009/06/02/580-meaning-of-the-words/ wants to make him admit they are].
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Very much on the idealistic end, maybe even to the point when he can't understand why someone wouldn't share his beliefs:
{{quote|
=== Schrödinger the cat ===
{{quote|''"Meow"''}}
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Well, the prettiest girl of the Mithril town seemed to find him adorable. Alex would probably disagree though. As for the [[Badass]] part...
* [[Badass Normal]]: He's supposedly [http://captainsnes.com/data1.html a perfectly ordinary housecat]... that nonetheless so far managed to steal the Met Hat and Yang's black belt, trick [[Final Fantasy IV
** [[Badass Abnormal]]: He's a "perfectly ordinary house cat". From Videoland. Where the phrase is anything but.
* [[Cats Are Mean]]: What he did to the Blue Mecha ? That was just cruel.
Line 109 ⟶ 119:
* [[Immune to Fate]]: Maybe.
* [[Killer Rabbit|Killer Cat]]: Even Alex knows his limits, and the greatest of them all is trying to fight Schrödinger, rather than work with him. When Ryan shouted that he could do it, {{spoiler|moments after the prison complex lost main power}}, Alex laughed in his face; for five minutes or so.
* [[Spanner in
== Allies ==
=== Magus ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Anti
* [[Badass]]
* [[Black Magic]]
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/04/17/320-unseen-influence/ Magus was surprised to find out he had them.]
* [[Exact Words]]: He promised Roy he wouldn't use Dark Matter on him if he talked. He didn't say he wouldn't use any of his other spells.
* [[Large Ham]]: He is quite fond of [[Badass Boast
* [[Odd Couple]]: He works with Mario to find Schala. He isn't too happy about it.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: As a result of an RPG character trying to learn how a platforming game world works.
Line 127 ⟶ 137:
* [[The Unfettered]]: Magus is willing to do anything ([http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/10/26/219-the-ways-of-the-mushroom/ except jumping on his opponents' heads]) to find and save Schala. He even offered to find the Shard of Tears for the Sovereign of Sorrow in exchange for information, [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/04/29/325-the-shard-of-tears/ stating that he didn't care what she would do to the Videoland afterwards].
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Genius Ditz]]: Alex sees him as this. He comes across as not overly bright, but put him in a situation that plays to his strengths and he's pretty damn good at it. Or as Bass would put it, pretty damn ''evil'' at it.
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Worf Had the Flu|Worf Has The Flu]]: The reason Vegeta doesn't swoop in and kick Daos' ass is because he's got hypertension and can no longer fight.
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Genius Ditz]]: Dr. Wright has generally been shown acting like a complete moron, but he did reformat Mega Man into his super-strong ''[[Captain N]]'' iteration and helped build the Gate, which is essentially a [[Cosmic Keystone]] which keeps the reality of the desert from completely isolating, if not outright ''consuming'', their universe. In addition, he has more than once realized things that Mega Man didn't -- most importantly, the fact that {{spoiler|Roll was Sorrow-Touched}}.
== Villains ==
=== The Sovereign of Sorrow ===
'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Big Bad]]
* [[The Chessmaster]]
Line 154 ⟶ 167:
* {{spoiler|[[Reality Warper]]}}
* [[Super Empowering]]: Can enhance a Sprite's nature to impressive levels.
* [[Touched
* [[Visionary Villain]] / [[Well
=== Monkeyspank ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Beware the Silly Ones]]: He's an annoying, hyperactive pop-up virus. He's also working to end existence.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]/[[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: He's either putting on an act to get people to underestimate him, or he using his annoying, hyperactive personality to put people off. But he's pretty damn dangerous given his access to the environment systems.
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Achievements in Ignorance]]: You can't actually learn magic from a ''[[Mage: The Ascension]]'' book. That doesn't stop him.
* [[Body Snatcher]]: He cast a spell on the survivors of the Argo that made it possible for him to do this. Whenever he gets killed, he just takes over one of the survivors' bodies and transforms it into his own - while his victim dies in his place. This saves his life in a fight against [[Metroid|Samus Aran]].
* [[Evil Gloating]]: Tries this twice on Samus Aran. Gets shot in the face and frozen solid for trying.
* [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]: His attempt to [[Mind Probe]] Samus not only has her breaking him, but she also plants a telepathic suggestion that eventually makes him break her out.
** His [[Mind Probe]] on Golbez also doesn't work out so hot.
* [[Hoist
* [[Mind Probe]]: Attempts this on Samus. It backfires. ''Horribly''.
** He tries this again on Golbez. It backfires slightly less horribly.
* [[Pungeon Master]]: He constantly makes [[Incredibly Lame Pun|vegetable-themed puns]]
{{quote|
=== Kain Highwind ===
{{quote|''Soon my dear Rose, you will be mine!"}}
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass]]: Spoony at least is confident that Kain would have no problems defeating both Crono and Cecil. Plus, so far all his fights with opponents other than Schrödinger (i.e. [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/07/01/157-kains-flashback-3-kains-revelation-2/ Cecil's guards], Bikke, Gato, Alex, the population of the Mithril town and [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/11/06/410-expected-and-unexpected-battles/ two of Eblan's most elite ninja]) ended with Kain curbstomping them.
* [[Berserk Button]]: As the population of the Mithril town learned the hard way, he ''really'' hates being mocked.
Line 184 ⟶ 199:
* [[Ignored Epiphany]]: He has one about the nature of his love for Rosa [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/07/01/157-kains-flashback-3-kains-revelation-2/ in episode 157].
* [[No Sense of Direction]]: The side effect of his brainwashing.
* [[Stalker
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: As a part of Spoony's plan to summon the Sovereign of Sorrow Kain was ordered to kill Bob. He ended up being tricked by Bob into thinking that Bikke was Bob in disguise, letting him go (and eventually help Alex escape from prison) and killing Bikke. [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/06/27/154-doesnt-he-know-to-take-the-bad-news-first-2/ Spoony wasn't too happy about this].
* [[Weak
{{quote|
=== Bowser ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Abduction Is Love]]
* [[Card
* [[Determinator]]: The fact that he lost to Mario [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/05/03/327-the-cat-wouldnt-know/ 463 times] is no reason to give up for him.
* [[Evil Is Petty]]: He kindapped Princess Peach and tricked Max Force into trying to kill Mario. He is also guilty of [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/02/05/276-must-have-been-on-the-tablet-moses-smashed/ being a pervert, hogging the remote, cable theft] and [http://www.captainsnes.com/2004/03/04/425-tomatoes-belong-in-the-fruit-group-actually/ not paying his library fines].
* [[The Fighting Narcissist]]
* [[Not
* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: He tries to invoke this [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/02/06/277-hes-one-coo-koopa-playa/ during his conversation with Princess Peach], presenting himself as the [[Nice Guy]] who's been with her during the worst of times and Mario as more concerned about his adventures than about Peach. Of course, his argument kind of falls apart when Peach points out that he's been with her all this time because he kept kindapping her.
* [[
* [[Villainous Crush]]: On Princess Peach, naturally.
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass]]: All of them.
* [[Badass Boast]]: Probably a half or more of their lines are this.
* [[Big Bad Wannabe
* {{spoiler|[[Deader Than Dead]]: Daos and Gades, suggested by [[Word of God]].}}
* [[Jerkass Gods]]: [http://www.captainsnes.com/2004/12/14/466-scoping-out-the-situation/ Alex certainly thinks so.]
* {{spoiler|[[Karmic Death]]: Daos and Gades die feeling for the first time the same feeling they tried to bring upon countless innocent people: terror.}}
* [[Mind Rape]]: [http://www.captainsnes.com/2009/08/25/588-final-words-of-terrot/ Stated by Alex] to be what they did to [http://www.captainsnes.com/2008/06/06/565-broken/ Sailor Mercury.]
* [[Out
* [[Physical God
* [[Pride]]: One of their defining traits. [http://www.captainsnes.com/2009/08/25/588-final-words-of-terrot/ As Alex pointed out], upon meeting someone who's more powerful than they are or at least refuses to bend to their will, the Sinistrals just refuse to let it go; their arrogance blinds them and they can only think about killing or subjugating their opponent. {{spoiler|This eventually leads to Daos's and Gades's undoing and to Amon being trapped on the Desert of Shattered Dreams.}}
* [[Your Mom]]: Mega Man manages to enrage Amon by saying this. Why a physical incarnation would be so agitated over this is a mystery, seeing as how Amon doesn't actually have parents.
== Alex's Flaws ==
=== Zeromus ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[The Ditz]]: Which begs the interesting philosophical question: is the author telling us that hatred naturally makes you stupid?
* [[Look Behind You!]]: Fell for it 3 times.
** [[Crying Wolf]]: The fourth time there really was a naked Alanis Morrisette behind him.
* [[Seven Deadly Sins]]: Wrath
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: He is actually the embodiment of Alex's hatred of what Alex hates the most. i.e.: ''stupid people''
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?]]: She helps Alex out sometimes.
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: She's naked. A lot.
** Although, judging from [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/01/18/264-censorship-isnt-all-bad-2/ this comic], it's more a case of Innocent [[Fan Disservice]] Girl.
== Touched ==
=== Lucca ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Black Magician Girl]]
* [[Cosmic Retcon]] / [[Reset Button]]: She traveled in time and succeeded [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/08/13/175-embers-of-fire-part-2/ in preventing the accident that crippled her mother]... but by doing so she retconned all of the [[Character Development]] she and her parents underwent after this accident in the original timeline. As result of this, Lucca's become... [[Mad Scientist|a bit]] [[Yandere|eccentric]].
Line 240 ⟶ 258:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: She doesn't have a particularly good opinion of Alex and sees no reason to hide it.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Sometimes [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/05/17/336-good-plan-false-assumption/ she has sudden urge to burst into maniacal laughter]. And sometimes she can't resist it.
{{quote|
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]] or [[Mad Scientist]]
* [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]]
Line 247 ⟶ 265:
* [[Yandere]]: Maybe. Though obviously [[Murder the Hypotenuse|sending Marle to another dimension]] [[Blatant Lies|was a complete accident]].
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: Although Gato is well behaved at first, Kain did serious damage to his programming with a well-placed spear to his processors. Before being Touched, he was an HK-47 wannabe with a micro-singularity. Now...
* [[Crush! Kill! Destroy!]]
* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas|Even Evil Robots Love Their Creators]]: He seems to be genuinely devoted to Lucca.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: [http://www.captainsnes.com/2004/11/18/461-the-true-meaning-of-suffering/ Lampshaded by Alex].
* [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]]: He was this after Kain [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/03/09/084-all-this-for-a-minor-inconsistency/ destroyed his ethical programming] and before he started to work against Alex.
* [[Kill All Humans]]: Maybe except Lucca.
** [[Humans Are
=== Max Force ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Ax Crazy]]
* [[Black and White Morality|Druggies VS Non-Druggies Morality]]
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: During their confrontation, after Mario dodges his bullets and teases him for it, Max Force claims he did not miss Mario because he was actually shooting a drug tree, invisible drug beetles and drug-filled air molecules.
* [[Knight Templar]]: Max Force makes [[The Order of the Stick
* [[Mind Probe]]: Subjected to one by Magus, whom was attempting to find out just what happened to him. Ended up as a...
* [[Mind Rape]]: When Magus tried to dig a little too forcibly.
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Pre-Great Change/Touch, he was incredibily idealistic. Pre-Touched Max was more than willing to fight an impossible battle not expecting to win, but because its moraly right. Post-Great Change/Touch on the other hand...

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Black Magician Girl]]
* [[Break His Heart to Save Him]]: [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/05/12/331-rydias-love/ She did this] [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/05/31/130-three-words-a-man-doesnt-want-to-hear-2/ to Edge].
Line 276 ⟶ 297:
* [[Large Ham]]: She likes to [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/07/06/162-the-mystery-woman-revealed-yes-theres-a-reason-for-black-2/ make dramatic entries] and [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/05/13/332-the-omissions-are-the-interesting-part/ deliver dramatic lines].

* [[Villain Team
=== Spoony ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Compelling Voice]]: Used on [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/09/13/387-motivations-revelation-part-3/ Queen Rosa], [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/09/25/392-goggles-packages-and-one-fat-chocobo/ Fat Chocobo] and [http://www.captainsnes.com/2011/04/18/662-opportunity-knocks/ Kappa] [http://www.captainsnes.com/2011/04/20/663-tutorial-torture/ the Imp]. Spoony also tried to use it on Cecil, but he turned out to be immune to this.
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: [[Break the Cutie|The moment he meets the Sovereign of Sorrow turns into this.]]
Line 288 ⟶ 310:
* [[Rage Against the Heavens]]: Due to his beef with the Creators.
* [[Revenge]]: The reason he serves the Sovereign of Sorrow is to get revenge on everyone who wronged him - including everyone from Alex's reality, as he considers them to be [http://www.captainsnes.com/2011/04/20/663-tutorial-torture/ ultimately responsible for death of his parents and Anna as well as for humiliating him for their own amusement].
* [[The Scrappy]]: Alex saw him as one in-universe.
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: {{spoiler|The Drab Lord}}
* [[Telepathy]]: As a result of being Touched he gained ability to read thoughts of other Touched characters (or, as he puts it, [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/09/20/390-even-a-paladins-compassion-knows-its-limits/ see into their hearts]).
*
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Twice. First, when {{spoiler|he's disguised as the Drab Lord in the beginning, and is [[Disc One Final Boss|presented as a credible threat]] until the [[Eldritch Abomination|Sovereign of Sorrow]] is revealed}}. The second time was after the Drab Lord's [[Villain Decay]], when Spoony {{spoiler|is revealed AS the Drab Lord, and catches Cecil and Rosa in a rather clever trap.}}
* [[Un Evil Laugh]]: He just [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/06/26/153-the-drab-lord-appears/ can't get evil laugh right].
{{quote|
'''Rydia''': That's Santa Claus's laugh, Golbez Jr. }}
** {{spoiler|That is, until he stops playing around.}}
*
== Others ==
=== Ryan (Alex's captor) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Divided We Fall]]: He can't exactly be called truly evil. Both he and Alex want to protect the Videoland, but that doesn't stop them from fighting over which one of them should be the Game Master.
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: He hates Alex's tendency to swear and tries to either completely avoid swearing himself (he even refuses to say '[http://www.captainsnes.com/2005/03/19/475-the-larger-threat/ bastard]') or at worst use very mild (like '[http://www.captainsnes.com/2004/11/20/462-negative-reinforcement/ heck]') or made-up cuss words.

'''Alex''': (...) Don't use fake swear words. That's just dumb. }}
* [[Knight Templar]]: At least he has shades of this.
Line 314 ⟶ 336:
* [[The Watson]]: Again, to Alex.
* [[We Used to Be Friends]]: Alex at least seems confident that they knew each other and were friends (though apparently of [[Vitriolic Best Buds]] variety) before they got sucked into Videoland.

'''Ryan''': Don't... call me that!
'''Alex''': I know it doesn't feel like it now, but we've got history together! Good history! }}
** However, the conversation they had after the exchange quoted above indicates that Alex's captor and the Ryan whom Alex knew may not necessarily be the same person. [[Mind Screw|Or maybe they are. At this point it's hard to tell.]]

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Ambiguously Evil]]: He seems to have some goals he wants to accomplish, but we have no idea what they are or whose side he is really on. The fact that he likes to keep Alex in the dark, pretended he couldn't talk after being turned into chocobo, avoided any contact with Alex after being turned into Juan Valdez and [http://www.captainsnes.com/2010/03/16/612-hats-off-to-you-schrodinger/ apparently is in contact with Wily] surely doesn't make him look particularly trustworthy.
* [[My Greatest Failure]]: Apparently for some reason [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/05/13/332-the-omissions-are-the-interesting-part/ at least once the entire Videoland suffered because of his weakness]. It remains to be seen what exactly he was referring to.
* [[You Are Who You Eat]]

* [[Ain't Too Proud to Beg]]: [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/07/16/164-the-voice-of-the-enemy/ In this strip]. It's still{{when}} unknown if Alex will kill him.
* [[Beleaguered Assistant]]: Ended up being this for Mike Haggar.
* [[Big No]]: [http://www.captainsnes.com/2005/05/14/480-nightmare-of-an-evil-genius/ Welcome to hell Willy].
* [[Enemy Mine]]: He gladly joins forces with Dr. Light, since there's no point in taking over Videoland if the Sovereign of Sorrow destroys everything. However, it's pretty obvious that he's simultaneously [http://www.captainsnes.com/2009/07/17/582-wave-of-hope/ plotting] [http://www.captainsnes.com/2010/03/16/612-hats-off-to-you-schrodinger/ something] (most likely) evil.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Well, you can't be a [[Mad Scientist]] without pulling [http://www.captainsnes.com/2005/05/19/482-the-shadow-of-light/ one of these every now and then].
* [[Kicked Upstairs]] / [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: Sure, he is vice-president of Videoland... but the president is [[Popular Is Dumb]] [[Final Fight

** Not to mention that he can't try to quit or overrule Haggar, or Proto Man/Blues will take that as proof that he's a [[President Evil]] and kidnap him so he can force him to [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|listen to Garth Brooks]].
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Duh.
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife|Ugly Guy, Hot Girlfriend]]: Apparently he's dating [[Carmen Sandiego]].
=== King Hippo ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[The Alcoholic]]
* [[Drowning My Sorrows]]: He started drinking heavily after seeing someone [[Killed Off for Real]] [http://www.captainsnes.com/2011/05/27/678-a-bitter-fruit/ for the first time in his life]. Being a Nintendo character, he initially tried to do it [[Frothy Mugs of Water|using root beer]] instead of actual beer, but it seems that by the time he met Alex he had learned about alcohol.
Line 345 ⟶ 370:
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: He was working for Mother Brain not because he wanted to take over Videoland or anything, but because it paid the bills. Despite being beaten up and humiliated time after time again by Captain N, King Hippo never held anything against him (he actually respected and admired him), and is rather grateful that Captain N didn't either.
** And of course he eventually stopped working for Mother Brain. After that we never saw him doing anything more evil than [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/06/28/357-true-evil-never-dies/ bullying other characters for their lunch money]. Seeing [http://www.captainsnes.com/2011/05/30/679-my-what-big-teeth/ how he helped Alex and wished him good luck], it's not unimaginable that he'll end up on the heroes' side.
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Averted. His ex-wife is [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/07/22/364-cupid-gone-bad/ Seraphina].
